During 2024, WTI oil prices hit a low of $66 per barrel in September 2024 and a high of $87 per barrel in April 2024, ending the year at $72 per barrel. Declines in oil prices are primarily caused by, among other things, an excess of supply of crude oil in relation to demand.

Removed
The Company’s business operations and workforce face risks related to public health emergencies, which could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations.
Added
For example, the implementation or removal of sanctions on countries with oil and natural gas production could significantly decrease or increase the supply of oil and natural gas and the corresponding price for such commodities.
Removed
Requirements to maintain a minimum level of liquidity could also affect cash available for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate purposes.
Added
Recent U.S. foreign policy decisions may also have short- and long-term effects on oil and gas pricing. During 2025, WTI oil prices hit a low of $55 per barrel in December 2025 and a high of $81 per barrel in January 2025, ending the year at $57 per barrel.
Removed
The Company may be required to incur higher than expected costs to return previously cold-stacked vessels to class. As of December 31, 2024, two of 51 owned vessels were cold-stacked worldwide and, if the industry experiences another downturn, the Company may determine to cold-stack additional vessels in response to such downturn.
Added
The Company’s overall debt level and/or market conditions could limit its ability to issue additional debt in amounts and/or on terms that it considers reasonable.
Removed
Federal Reserve held rates steady in their January 2025 meeting and indicated the pause will likely continue for 2025. As a result, there is no telling if interest rates will stabilize, continue to increase or continue to decrease, either globally or in the U.S. specifically.
Added
The failure to successfully complete construction or conversion, repairs, maintenance or routine drydockings of the Company's vessels on schedule and on budget could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Removed
Moreover, continuing changes in regulation increase our compliance costs and make it more difficult for the Company to implement long-term plans. In addition, the bodies that regulate maritime operations are considering enacting regulations meant to safeguard the industry and its participant from cyber-threats.
Added
Public health emergencies, including pandemics, epidemics and other outbreaks, pose significant risks to our business through their effect on the economy and subsequent effect on supply and demand for our services, labor shortages, and operational processes, among other factors.
Removed
The Company may seek to sell some of its vessels to provide liquidity.
Added
Historically, during periods of low utilization, the Company adhered to a policy of cold stacking vessels to decrease maintenance and related variable costs. While cold stacking vessels helps maintain financial discipline, the cost and time to reactivate cold-stacked vessels could be significant.
Removed
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase 1,280,195 shares of Common Stock, which if exercised would dilute the ownership percentage of the Company’s shareholders.
Added
For example, two of the Company's liftboats in the Middle East recently ended their contracts and have entered a period of drydocking for maintenance and repair. When these liftboats complete their drydockings and return to market, the Company's ability to obtain new contracts for these liftboats is subject to the above-described risks.
Added
Furthermore, on January 20, 2025, the U.S. President suspended new or renewed wind energy leasing in the Outer Continental Shelf. Additionally, on December 22, 2025, the Director of the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued stop-work orders to suspend all ongoing activities for 90 days related to five offshore wind projects on the Outer Continental Shelf.

Business—Governmental Regulations—Regulatory Compliance” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In early 2025, the USCG issued a new rule applicable to the maritime sector that mandates certain cybersecurity training and requires the Company to take various other actions with respect to managing cybersecurity risk.
Added
Moreover, uncertainty related to regulations generally associated with climate change and renewable energy can increase Company costs and affect its results of operations. For instance, certain of the Company’s vessels are used to service offshore wind farms.
Added
It is unclear what the long-term effect of the current U.S. administration’s policies related wind farms will have on that industry and, in turn, our provision of services to the industry.
Added
Some of the Company’s customers are located in emerging markets, which can further exacerbate the foregoing risks.
Added
Vessels registered by the Company under other flag states may also be subject to requisition or purchase in accordance with comparable applicable laws of those states.
