Rod Larson,CEO, stated, “I am proud of the Oceaneering (OII) team for delivering on an ambitious fourth quarter that slightly exceeded our implied EBITDA guidance and consensus estimates. These results reflect our highest quarterly revenue since the fourth quarter of 2015 and we surpassed $100 million in adjusted EBITDA for the first time since the second quarter of 2016. For the full year 2024, we generated consolidated revenue of $2.7 billion, a 10% increase over 2023. Adjusted consolidated EBITDA increased 20% to $347 million, representing our sixth consecutive year of EBITDA growth, driven by our Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products, and Offshore Projects Group segments. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the year was $203 million and free cash flow was $96.1 million, a year-over-year decrease of 12%, primarily due to increased net working capital from higher activity levels and increased cash taxes.”
