On June 7, 2005, John R. Huff, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will speak to investors and industry analysts at the RBC Capital Markets North American Energy and Power Conference in Boston, Massachusetts. The presentation is available on our web site, www.oceaneering.com, by first visiting our Shareholder Information page and then choosing Company Presentations and Interviews.
Please note that certain information contained in the presentation, as well as certain written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by us or our representatives in our reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases, conferences, teleconferences, web postings or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the “Safe Harbor” provisions of those statutes. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “forecast,” “budget,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Among other items, the forward-looking statements include:
| • | our earnings outlook for 2005 and 2006; | |||
| • | 2005 estimates which assume an escalation in ROV contribution, growth from Subsea Projects, improvement in Inspection results and increased Medusa Spar production; | |||
| • | 2006 estimates which assume continuation of the industry trends, a significant increase in Subsea Products profits, and further improvement in ROV, Subsea Projects and Inspection results; | |||
| • | estimates of the non-GAAP measures Cash Flow from Operations and EBITDA; | |||
| • | the possibility of accretive acquisitions; | |||
| • | the possibility of repurchasing our own shares; | |||
| • | our existing assets can earn more; | |||
| • | our significant debt capacity; | |||
| • | our strong cash flow; | |||
| • | increased subsea completions; | |||
| • | plans to grow our ROV fleet size, either organically or through acquisition; | |||
| • | increased demand for our OIE division’s Subsea Products; | |||
| • | continued umbilical market demand growth and increased market share in 2006; | |||
| • | ROV day rates not being sensitive to fleet utilization; and | |||
| • | projected net income, OSX net income and trading multiple comparisons. | |||
These forward-looking statements are based on our current information and expectations that involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Among the factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are:
| • | worldwide demand for oil and gas; | |||
| • | general economic and business conditions and industry trends; | |||
| • | the continued strength of the industry segments in which we are involved; | |||
| • | decisions about offshore developments to be made by oil and gas companies; | |||
| • | the highly competitive nature of our businesses; | |||
| • | our future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital; | |||
| • | the continued availability of qualified personnel; | |||
| • | operating risks normally incident to offshore exploration, development and production operations; | |||
| • | changes in, or our ability to comply with, government regulations, including those relating to the environment; | |||
| • | rapid technological changes; and | |||
| • | social, political and economic situations in foreign countries where we do business and the possibilities of war, other armed conflicts or terrorist attacks. | |||
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual outcomes could vary materially from those indicated. For additional information regarding these and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements, see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
