Business Outlook

We continue to strategically position the Company to participate in the fabrication of petrochemical and industrial facilities, pursue offshore wind opportunities, enter the EPC industry, and diversify our customer base within all of our operating divisions. In addition, we continue to focus on maintaining our liquidity and securing meaningful new contractproject awards and backlog in the near-term and generating operating income and cash flowflows from operations in the longer-term. We have made significant progress in our efforts to increase our backlog and improve and preserve our liquidity, including cost reductions in costs (including reducing our workforce and reducing the cash compensation paid to our directors and the salaries of our executive officers) and the divestituresale of underutilized assets.

During the second quarter 2018, we completed the sale We are further focused on strengthening relationships with key customers and enhancing our Texas South Yard for $55.0 million, less selling costs of $1.5 million, for total net proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $53.5 millionproposal, estimating and a gain of approximately $3.9 million. In addition, on September 26, 2018, we entered into an agreementoperations resources, processes and procedures to sellimprove our Texas North Yardcompetitiveness and certain associated equipment for $28.0 million. We received $0.5 million during the third quarter 2018 as a deposit on the property, which is refundable under certain circumstances. The sale is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter 2018 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the purchaser’s right to conduct inspections of the property related to confirmation of title, surveys, environmental conditions, easements and access rights, and third-party consents.overall project execution. See Note 23 for further discussion of theour recent asset sales and assets held for sale of our Texas South Yard and the anticipated sale of our Texas North Yard.

at September 30, 2019.

We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2018,2019, and availability under our Credit Agreement (defined in Note 4), will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses, meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and satisfy any debt service obligations or other funding requirements, for at least twelve months from the date of this Report.

CashOperating Cycle

The durations of our contracts vary and can extend beyond twelve months from the date of contract award. Consistent with industry practice, assets and liabilities have been classified as current under the operating cycle concept whereby all contract-related items are classified as current regardless of whether cash equivalentswill be received or paid within a twelve month period. Assets and liabilities classified as current which may not be received or paid within the next twelve months include contract retainage, contract assets and contract liabilities. Variations from normal contract terms may result in the classification of assets and liabilities as noncurrent.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe our most significant estimates and judgments are associated with revenue recognition for our contracts, including application of the percentage-of-completion method, estimating costs to complete each contract and the recognition of incentives, unapproved change orders, claims, and liquidated damages; fair value and recoverability assessments that must be periodically performed with respect to long-lived assets and our assets held for sale; determination of deferred income tax assets, liabilities and related valuation allowances; reserves for bad debts; and liabilities related to self-insurance programs. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which our Financial Statements are based change in the future, actual amounts may differ materially from those included in the Financial Statements.

Income (Loss) Per Share

We report basic and diluted income (loss) per share ("EPS") using the "two-class" method as required under GAAP. The calculation of EPS using the two-class method is required when a company has two or more classes of common stock or participating securities. Certain of our unvested restricted stock (which are not included in our basic or diluted weighted average shares outstanding) contain the right to receive non-refundable dividends and therefore represent participating securities. See Note 6 for calculations of our basic and diluted EPS.

Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
Cash equivalents - We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Short-term investments

Short-term - We consider investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than twelve months to be short-term investments. At September 30, 2019, our short-term investments include U.S. Treasuries and other investment-grade commercial paper with original maturities of less than six months or less.months. We intend to hold these investments until maturity and have stated them at amortized cost. Due to their near-term maturities, amortized cost approximates fair value. All of our short-term investments are traded on active markets with quoted prices and represent level 1 fair value measurements.

Inventory
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined using the first-in-first-out basis. The cost of inventory includes acquisition costs, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred to bring the inventory to a current location and condition. Net realizable value is our estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. An allowance for excess or inactive inventory is recorded based on an analysis that considers current inventory levels, historical usage patterns, estimates of future sales and salvage value.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the normal course of business, we extend credit to our customers on a short-term basis and contract receivables are generally not collateralized; however, we typically have the right to place liens on our projects in the event of nonpayment by our customers. We routinely review individual contract receivable balances for collectibility and make provisions for probable uncollectible amounts as necessary. Among the factors considered in our review are the financial condition of our customer and its access to financing, underlying disputes with the customer, the age and value of the receivable balance, and economic conditions in general.
Our customer base historically includes a significant number of energy related companies and their contractors. This concentration of customers in the energy sector may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in

that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. See Note 42 for further discussion of our fair value measurements.allowance for doubtful accounts.

Income TaxesStock-Based Compensation
Awards under our stock-based compensation plans are calculated using a fair value-based measurement method. We use the straight-line method to recognize share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the award. We recognize the excess tax benefit or tax deficiency resulting from the difference between the deduction we receive for tax purposes and the stock-based compensation expense we recognize for financial reporting purposes created when common stock vests, as an income tax benefit or expense in our Statement of Operations.
Tax payments made on behalf of employees to taxing authorities in order to satisfy employee income tax withholding obligations from the vesting of shares under our stock-based compensation plans are classified as a financing activity in our Statement of Cash Flows.

At December 31, 2017,Assets Held for Sale
Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. See Note 3 for further discussion of our assets held for sale.

Depreciation Expense
We depreciate property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from three to 25 years, absent any indicators of impairment. Ordinary maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the physical or economic lives of the plant or equipment, are charged to expense as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment, which include property, plant and equipment and our lease assets included within other noncurrent assets, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a recoverability assessment is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flow associated with the assets or asset groups are compared to their respective carrying amounts to determine if an impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount and recording the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over its fair value as an impairment charge. An asset group constitutes the minimum level for which identifiable cash flows are principally independent of the cash flows of other assets or asset groups. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or third-party indications of value, as appropriate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had gross federal NOL carryforwardsidentified no indicators of impairment.

Fair Value Measurements
Our fair value determinations for financial assets and liabilities are based on the particular facts and circumstances. Financial instruments are required to offset future taxable income of $62.8 million, of which $4.0 million will expire on December 31, 2035. Our remaining federal NOL carryforwards will expire December 31, 2037. We have providedbe categorized within a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets if,hierarchy based upon the available evidence, itlowest level of input that is more likely than not that some or allsignificant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the deferred tax assets willvaluation hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - inputs are based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Revenue Recognition

General - Our revenue is derived from customer contracts and agreements that are awarded on a competitively bid and negotiated basis using a range of contracting options, including fixed-price, unit-rate and T&M. Our contracts primarily relate to the fabrication and construction of steel structures, modules and marine vessels, and project management services and other service

arrangements. We recognize revenue for our contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ("Topic 606"), which was adopted by us on January 1, 2018, and supersedes previous revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.

Fixed-Price and Unit-Rate Contracts - Revenue for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts is recognized underusing the percentage-of-completion method computed by the significant inputs method, which measures the percentage of labor hours(an input method), based on contract costs incurred to date as compared to total estimated contract costs. Contract costs include direct costs, such as materials and labor, and indirect costs that are attributable to contract activity. Material costs that are significant to a contract and do not reflect an accurate measure of project completion are excluded from the determination of our contract progress. Revenue for such materials is only recognized to the extent of costs incurred. Revenue and gross profit for contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method can be significantly affected by changes in estimated cost to complete such contracts. Significant estimates impacting the cost to complete a contract include: costs of engineering, materials, components, equipment, labor and subcontracts; labor productivity; schedule durations, including subcontractor and supplier progress; contract disputes, including claims; achievement of contractual performance requirements; and contingency, among others. Although our customers retain the right and ability to change, modify or discontinue further work at any stage of a contract, in the event our customers discontinue work, they are required to compensate us for the work performed to date. The cumulative impact of revisions in total labor hours for each contract.cost estimates during the progress of work is reflected in the period in which these changes become known, including, to the extent required, the reversal of profit recognized in prior periods and the recognition of losses expected to be incurred on contracts. Due to the various estimates inherent in our contract accounting, actual results could differ from those estimates, which could result in material changes to our Financial Statements and related disclosures.

T&M Contracts - Revenue for our T&M contracts is recognized at contracted rates when the work is performed, the costs are incurred, and collection is reasonably assured. See Note 3Our T&M contracts provide for further discussionlabor and materials to be billed at rates specified within the contract. The consideration from the customer directly corresponds to the value of our revenue recognition policy and related accounting for our contracts.performance completed at the time of invoicing.

OnVariable Consideration - Revenue and gross profit for contracts can be significantly affected by variable consideration, which can be in the form of unapproved change orders, claims, incentives, and liquidated damages that may not be resolved until the later stages of the contract or after the contract has been completed and delivery occurs. We estimate variable consideration based on the amount we expect to be entitled and include estimated amounts in transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when we conclude that any significant uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

Adoption of Topic 606 - As discussed above, on January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Topic 606 requires entities606. Prior to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Ourour adoption of Topic 606, included a detailed reviewour determination of our significant contracts that were not substantially complete as of January 1, 2018. Based on our review, we concluded that revenue recognitionpercentage-of-completion for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, computed by measuringwas based on the percentage of direct labor hours incurred to date as compared to total estimated totaldirect labor hours, and revenue for each contract, is still appropriate. Our review also determined thatmaterials was recognized only to the extent of costs incurred. However, in our adoption of Topic 606, did not impactwe adjusted our measure of progress for the timingdetermination of revenue recognitionpercentage-of-completion to include subcontract labor hours in addition to direct labor hours. Accordingly, our determination of percentage-of-completion for our T&M contracts. Basedthe three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, was based on this method.

During the aforementioned,fourth quarter 2018, we concluded that the impactuse of labor hours for the determination of percentage-of-completion for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts was not appropriate based on the changing mix of our contracts, which include an increasing amount of engineered equipment, manufactured materials, and subcontracted services and materials. We also concluded that in our adoption of Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018, our determination of percentage-of-completion for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts should have been based on total contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs. We further concluded that material costs that are significant to a contract and do not reflect an accurate measure of project completion should be excluded from the determination of our contract progress, and revenue for such materials should only be recognized to the extent of costs incurred. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter 2018, we corrected our percentage-of-completion estimates for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts to be based on total costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs. Accordingly, our determination of percentage-of-completion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, was immaterialbased on this method. The impact of the difference in methods of determining percentage-of-completion between the 2019 and 2018 periods was not material.
During 2018 we also evaluated the required cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 for the adoption impact of Topic 606. Based on this evaluation, we determined that the cumulative effect adjustment would have been $0.4 million, which we did not believe was material to our Consolidated Financial StatementsStatements. Accordingly, no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 was recorded.

Income Taxes

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and no adjustment was required. See Note 3liabilities for further discussionfinancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

A valuation allowance is provided to reserve for deferred tax assets ("DTA(s)") if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the DTAs will not be realized. The realization of our adoptionDTAs depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of Topic 606.the appropriate character and in the appropriate jurisdictions.

Reserves for uncertain tax positions are recognized when we consider it more likely than not that additional tax will be due in excess of amounts reflected in our income tax returns, irrespective of whether or not we have received tax assessments. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are recorded within income tax expense.

Pre-contract Costs

Pre-contract costs are generally charged to cost of revenue as incurred, but in certain cases their recognition may be deferred if specific probability criteria are met. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no deferred pre-contract costs.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net, generally represents (recoveries) provisions for bad debts, (gains) losses associated with the sale or disposition of property and equipment other than assets held for sale, and (income) expense associated with certain nonrecurring items.

New Accounting Standards

Leases -In February 2016, the FASB issuedfirst quarter 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires lesseesrequired us to record mosta lease liability on our Balance Sheet equal to the present value of our lease payments for leased assets, and record a lease asset on our Balance Sheet representing our right to use the underlying leased assets for all leases having an original term of longer than 12-months. In our adoption we elected the modified retrospective transition method, and accordingly, prior periods have not been restated and continue to be reported under the lease standard in effect during such periods. We also elected certain practical expedients provided by ASU 2016-02, including not recording an asset or liability for leases having a term of 12-months or less and not separating lease and non-lease components for our leases. Upon adoption, we recorded operating lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $7.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, at January 1, 2019. Included in our lease asset was an intangible asset of $1.9 million associated with two favorable lease obligations recorded in connection with a former acquisition, which was reclassified as a lease asset under ASU 2016-02. 

The lease asset is reflected within other noncurrent assets, and the current and noncurrent portions of the lease liability are reflected within accrued expenses and other liabilities, and other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, on their balance sheet butour Balance Sheet. At September 30, 2019, our lease asset, current lease liability and long-term lease liability were $6.8 million, $0.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively. For leases with escalations over the life of the lease, we recognize expense inon a manner similar to current guidance. ASU 2016-02 will be effectivestraight-line basis. See Note 5 for us infurther discussion of our lease liabilities.

Stock-based grants - In the first quarter 2019.2019, we adopted ASU 2018-07, "Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance for such payments to non-employees is now aligned with the requirements for share-based payments to employees. The adoption of the new standard is required to be applied usingdid not have a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, we will record a right of use asset and corresponding liability for our operating leases.We continue to evaluate the effect that ASU 2016-02 will havematerial impact on our financial position, results of operations andor related disclosures. We are currently designing and implementing process changes and evaluating the information requirements necessary to properly account for ASU 2016-02.

Financial instruments - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, short-term investments, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for us in the first quarter 2020. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted; however, we have not elected to early adopt the standard. The new standard is required to be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

South Texas Properties

Texas South Yard - During the second quarter 2018, we completed the sale of our Texas South Yard for $55.0 million, less selling costs of $1.5 million, for total net proceeds during the nine-months ended September 30, 2018 of approximately $53.5 million and a gain of approximately $3.9 million, which is included within other income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Texas North Yard - On September 26, 2018, we entered into an agreement to sell our Texas North Yard and certain associated equipment for $28.0 million.We received $0.5 million during the third quarter 2018 as a deposit on the property, which is refundable under certain circumstances, and has been recorded as a liability within accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018. The sale is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter 2018 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the purchaser’s right to conduct inspections of the property related to confirmation of title, surveys, environmental conditions, easements and access rights, and third-party consents. Based on the sales price and estimated closing and other costs, we expect to realize a gain on the transaction upon closing. We can provide no assurances that we will successfully close the transaction, that closing will occur under our expected timeline or that we will achieve our estimated net proceeds or a gain on the sale. We continue to actively market the remaining Texas North Yard assets held for sale, which primarily consist of three 660-ton crawler cranes, a barge, a plate bending roll machine, and panel line equipment.

As a result of the agreement to sell our Texas North Yard, and the separation of such assets from the other remaining Texas North Yard Assets, we reevaluated the fair values of the assets under agreement for sale and the other remaining assets held for sale, giving consideration to previously recorded impairment amounts for such assets.  Based on our assessment, we recaptured previously recorded impairments of the assets under agreement for sale and increased their carrying value.  We also reduced the carrying value of the other remaining assets held for sale based upon our estimates of fair value using level 3 inputs, including broker estimates of fair value. Our assessment resulted in the recapture of approximately $5.2 million of previously recorded impairments on the assets under agreement for sale, with a similar amount of impairment on the remaining assets, with no net material change to the carrying value of the Texas North Yard assets held for sale.

During the first half of 2018, we recorded impairments of certain equipment that were classified as held for sale, resulting in a $1.4 million charge during the nine-months ended September 30, 2018, which is included within asset impairments on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our impairments were based upon our best estimate of the fair value of the related equipment. During the third quarter 2018, we sold assets that were classified as held for sale for proceeds of $1.1 million, which approximated their carrying values.

Hurricane Harvey Insurance Recoveries - During the third quarter 2017, buildings and equipment located at our South Texas Properties were damaged by Hurricane Harvey. During the second quarter 2018, we agreed to a global settlement with our insurance carriers for total insurance recoveries of $15.4 million, resulting in a net gain on insurance recoveries of $3.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which is included within other income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2018, all insurance proceeds had been received, including $7.2 million received during the third quarter 2018. In applying the settlement proceeds and determining our net gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we allocated the claim amounts, less agreed upon deductibles, to the respective groups of assets and reimbursement of costs incurred as follows:

Insurance recoveries of $8.9 million, which offset impairments of damaged assets at our Texas North Yard, resulting in no net gain or loss. Our impairments were based upon our best estimate of the decline in the fair value of the property and related equipment.
Insurance recoveries of $5.2 million, which offset impairments of two buildings and five damaged cranes that were sold during the second quarter 2018, resulting in the aforementioned net gain on insurance recoveries of $3.6 million.
Insurance recoveries of $1.3 million, net of deductibles, which offset clean-up and repair related costs incurred directly related to the damage we incurred as a result of Hurricane Harvey.

Other - We do not expect the sale of our South Texas Properties to impact our ability to operate our Fabrication Division. Further, the sale of our Texas South Yard and the Texas North Yard assets held for sale, do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation as we continue to operate our Fabrication Division at our Houma, Louisiana fabrication facility.

Shipyard Division Assets

Our Shipyard Division assets held for sale primarily consist of a 2,500-ton drydock located at our Houma Shipyard. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded impairments of $0.4 million for these assets based upon their estimated sales price. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold two drydocks for proceeds of $2.0 million and recorded a loss of $0.3 million. Our assets held for sale for the Shipyard Division do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, computed by the significant inputs method, which measures the percentage of labor hours incurred to date as compared to estimated total labor hours for each contract. Direct materials and subcontract materials and services that represent an insignificant portion of the work to complete a contract or do not reflect an accurate measure of project completion are considered "pass-through costs." Revenue recognized in a period for a contract is the pro rata portion of the contract value (excluding pass-through costs), based upon the labor hour measure of progress, plus pass-through costs incurred during the period. Accordingly, pass-through costs are included in revenue and direct costs of revenue with no impact on gross profit recognized during the period.

Revenue for our T&M contracts is recognized at contracted rates when the work is performed, the costs are incurred and collection is reasonably assured. Our T&M contracts provide for labor and materials to be billed at rates specified within the contract. The consideration from the customer directly corresponds to the value of our performance completed at the time of invoicing. Accordingly, we have elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient under Topic 606 for the recognition of revenue for our T&M contracts. The practical expedient allows us to recognize revenue in the amount we have the right to invoice (at contracted rates when the work is performed and costs are incurred).
Revenue and gross profit for contracts can be significantly affected by variable consideration, which can be in the form of unapproved change orders, claims, incentives, penalties, and liquidated damages that may not be resolved until the later stages of the contract or after the contract has been completed and delivery occurs. We estimate variable consideration based on the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled and include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when we conclude that any significant uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we had no material amounts in revenue related to unapproved change orders, claims, or incentives. However certain projects in our Shipyard Division reflect a reduction to our estimated contract price of $11.7 million for variable consideration related to liquidated damages. The reductions in contract price were recorded during the fourth quarter 2017.


Revenue and gross profit for contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method can also be significantly affected by changes in estimated cost to complete such contracts. The cumulative impact of revisions in total cost estimates during the progress of work is reflected in the period in which these changes become known, including, to the extent required, the reversal of profit recognized in prior periods and the recognition of losses expected to be incurred on contracts. Due to the various estimates inherent in our contract accounting, actual results could differ from those estimates, which could result in material changes to our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Adoption of Topic 606

AND LIABILITIES AND OTHER CONTRACT MATTERS
As discussed in Note 1, on January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09,recognize revenue for our contracts in accordance with Topic 606. Summarized below are required disclosures under Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Accordingly, the reported results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, reflect the application of Topic 606 guidance while the comparable reported results for 2017 were prepared under the guidance of Topic 605.

Topic 606 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Our adoption of Topic 606 included a detailed review of our significant contracts that were not substantially complete as of January 1, 2018, to assess if revenue should be recognized "over time" (as the work is performed) or "at a point in time" (upon completion of the work). We determined that ownership and control of the work related to our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts transfer to our customers as the work progresses. Additionally, our customers retain the right and ability to change, modify or discontinue further fabrication or construction at any stage of the project. In the event our customers discontinue work, they are required to compensate us for the work performed to date.

Based on our review, we concluded that revenue recognition for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, computed by measuring the percentage of labor hours incurred to date as compared to estimated total labor hours for each contract, is still appropriate as it most accurately reflects our primary profit generating activity and best represents our efforts to construct the asset for our customer. However, adoption of Topic 606 did require us to include subcontract labor and certain costs from outside services within our measure of progress and determination of our percentage-of-completion. We previously treated certain of these costs as pass-through costs and excluded such costs from our measure of progress. Our review also determined that Topic 606 did not impact the timing of revenue recognition for our T&M contracts. Based on the aforementioned, we concluded that the impact of the adoption of Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018, was immaterial to our Consolidated Financial Statements and no adjustment was required.

Topic 606 requires additional and enhanced disclosures related to the disaggregation of revenue and the anticipated timing and completion of remaining performance obligations, which are included below.other relevant guidance.

Contracts ReceivableAssets and Retainage
Our customers include U.S. and, to a lesser extent, international energy producers, petrochemical, industrial, power, and marine operators, EPC companies and certain agencies of the U.S. government. Of our contracts receivable balance at September 30, 2018, $18.4 million was with two customers.

At September 30, 2018, we had an allowance for bad debt of $3.7 million within our contract receivable balance. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we increased our allowance for bad debts by $2.8 million, which is included in general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and primarily relates to a customer within our Fabrication Division.

Contracts in Progress, Advance Billings on Contracts and Accrued Contract Losses

Liabilities
Revenue recognition and customer invoicing for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts may occur at different times. Revenue recognition is based upon our estimated percentage-of-completion as discussed above;in Note 1; however, customer invoicing willis generally dependdependent upon predetermined billing terms, which could provide for customer payments in advance payments or invoicingof performing the work, milestone billings based upon achievementon the completion of certain milestonesphases of the work, or project progress.billings when services are provided.

______________
(1)The decrease in contract liabilities compared to December 31, 2018, was primarily due to the unwind of advance payments on a project in our Fabrication Division, offset partially by an increase in billings on a project in our Fabrication Division and advance payments on a project in our Shipyard Division.
(2)Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, which related to amounts included in our contract liabilities balance at June 30, 2019 and 2018, was $8.5 million and $2.6 million respectively. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, which related to amounts included in our contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2018 and 2017, was $14.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
(3)
Contract liabilities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, includes accrued contract losses of $3.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively. See "Project Changes in Estimates" below for further discussion of our accrued contract losses.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had no provision for bad debts, and for the three months ended September 30, 2018, our provision for bad debts was $2.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our provision for bad debts was $0.1 million relating to three customers. Advance billingsand $2.8 million, respectively. Our provision for bad debts is included in other (income) expense, net on contracts totaled $14.9 millionour Statement of Operations. Our allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 with $11.2 million relating to one customer. Accrued contract losses totaled $6.0was $0.1 million and $7.6$0.4 million, respectively.

Variable Consideration

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we had no material amounts in revenue related to unapproved change orders, claims, or incentives. However, at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We make fair value determinations by applying the following hierarchy,2018, certain projects in our Shipyard and Services divisions reflected a reduction to our estimated contract price for liquidated damages of $11.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively, of which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:$11.2 million was recorded during 2017.

Level 1 - inputs are based upon quoted pricesChanges in Project Estimates

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, significant changes in estimated margins on projects resulted in an increase in our operating loss of $3.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The changes in estimates were associated with our harbor tug projects and ice-breaker tug project in our Shipyard Division and a project in our Services Division.

The changes in estimates for identical instruments tradedthe harbor tug projects totaled $1.9 million and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The changes in active markets;
Level 2 - inputs are based upon quoted pricesestimates for similar instrumentsthe third quarter 2019 were the result of increased forecast costs and liquidated damages, primarily associated with the need to supplement and re-perform work for an under-performing paint subcontractor, higher cost estimates from our electrical and instrumentation subcontractor, and our inability to achieve previously anticipated labor productivity improvements on our uncompleted vessels, resulting in active marketsincreased craft labor and model-based valuation techniquessubcontracted services and extensions of schedule for which all significant assumptions are observablethe projects. The changes in estimates for the first half of 2019 were the result of increased forecast costs, primarily associated with limitations in craft labor availability and the required use of contract labor in lieu of direct hire labor, resulting in lower than anticipated craft labor productivity and extensions of schedule for the projects. The revised forecasts incorporate actual results obtained from completion of the fifth vessel in the market;third quarter 2019 and progress achieved on the remaining five vessels. At September 30, 2019, the uncompleted vessels were at various stages of completion ranging from approximately 13% to 88% and are forecast to be completed at various dates ranging from the fourth quarter 2019 through the third quarter 2020. The projects were in a loss position at September 30, 2019 and our reserve for estimated losses was $1.9 million. If future craft labor productivity differs from our current estimates, we are unable to achieve our progress estimates, our schedules are further extended or the projects incur additional schedule liquidated damages, the projects would experience further losses.
Level 3 - inputs
The changes in estimates for the ice-breaker tug project totaled $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The changes in estimates for the third quarter 2019 were the result of increased forecast costs, primarily associated with difficulties encountered to launch the vessel and anticipated delays and costs to deliver the vessel, resulting in additional craft labor, subcontracted services and support, and an extension of schedule for the project. The changes in estimates for the first half of 2019 were the result of increased forecast costs, primarily associated with incomplete and deficient subcontracted production engineering, resulting in construction rework and disruption, lower than anticipated craft labor productivity and an extension of schedule for the project. At September 30, 2019, the vessel was approximately 85% complete and is forecast to be completed in the fourth quarter 2019 and delivered in the first quarter 2020. The project was in a loss position at September 30, 2019 and our reserve for estimated losses was $0.1 million. If future craft labor productivity differs from our current estimates, we are generally unobservableunable to achieve our progress estimates, our schedule is further extended, or we experience further delays or additional costs to deliver the vessel, the project would experience further losses.

The changes in estimates for our Services project totaled $1.5 million and typically reflect management’s$1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The changes in estimates were the result of assumptions that market participantsincreased forecast costs and liquidated damages, primarily associated with stringent welding procedure requirements and customer specifications for subsea components, resulting in additional materials, craft labor and subcontracted services and support, and an extension of schedule for the project. At September 30, 2019, the project was approximately 56% complete and is forecast to be completed in the first quarter 2020. The project was in a loss position at September 30, 2019 and our reserve for estimated losses was $0.6 million. If we continue to experience difficulties with the procedure requirements and specifications for the project or the schedule is further extended, the project would useexperience further losses.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, individual projects with significant changes in pricing the asset or liability. These include discounted cash flow models and similar valuation techniques.estimated margins did not have a material net impact on our loss from operations.

Other Project Matters

Recurring fair value measurements and financial instrumentsProject Tariffs -The carrying Certain imported materials used, or forecast to be used, for our projects are currently subject to existing, new or increased tariffs or duties. We believe such amounts, reported for financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, contracts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair values.if incurred, are recoverable from our customers under the contractual provisions of our contracts; however, we can provide no assurances that we will successfully recover such amounts.

Assets heldOther - At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, other noncurrent assets on our Balance Sheet included $3.0 million of retention for sale - We measurea previously completed project in our Fabrication Division for the fabrication of modules for a petrochemical facility. This retention is billable to the customer upon expiration of the contractual warranty period, which is expected to occur in the second quarter 2020; however, the customer has recently announced it is pursuing strategic alternatives and record assets held for sale athas executed amendments to its financing arrangements that could delay the lowertiming of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The determinationcollection of fair value generally requires the use of significant judgments. See Note 2 for further discussionretention.

Fabrication Division Assets Held for Sale

South Texas Properties - During the first quarter 2017, we classified our fabrication yards and theircertain associated equipment in Ingleside, Texas ("Texas South Yard") and Aransas Pass, Texas ("Texas North Yard") (collectively, "South Texas Properties") as held for sale. During the second and fourth quarters of 2018, we completed the sale of the Texas South Yard and Texas North Yard, respectively, which included both fabrication yards and certain equipment. In connection with the sale of the Texas South Yard, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received net proceeds of $53.8 million and recognized a gain of $3.9 million, which is included within asset impairments and (gain) loss on assets held for sale, net on our Statement of Operations.

At September 30, 2019, our Fabrication Division continued to have $17.9 million of assets held for sale ("Fabrication AHFS"), which were initially expected to be sold with the South Texas Properties. These assets consist primarily of three 660-ton crawler cranes, a deck barge, two plate bending roll machines and panel line equipment. The Fabrication AHFS were relocated to our fabrication yard in Houma, Louisiana.

Hurricane Harvey Insurance Recoveries - During the third quarter 2017, buildings and equipment located at our South Texas Properties were damaged by Hurricane Harvey. In connection therewith, during 2017 we received $6.0 million of insurance proceeds as an initial payment from our insurance carriers, of which approximately $3.2 million was reflected as a liability on our Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017, related to estimated future repairs associated with Hurricane Harvey. In addition, during the second quarter 2018, we agreed to a global settlement with our insurance carriers for total insurance payments of $15.4 million, inclusive of the $6.0 million payment received during 2017 and $9.4 million of payments received during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In applying the settlement proceeds (which were inclusive of agreed upon deductibles), we allocated the 2018 recoveries and the liability accrued at December 31, 2017, as follows:

$9.0 million, which offset impairments of property and equipment, primarily at our Texas North Yard, resulting in no net gain or loss. Our evaluation considered the Texas North Yard as a single asset group given the sale of our Texas South Yard had been completed. The impairments were based upon our best estimate of the decline in fair value measurements.of the asset group as a result of Hurricane Harvey; and
$3.6 million gain recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which is included within asset impairments and (gain) loss on assets held for sale, net on our Statement of Operations.


Other - During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we received proceeds of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to the sale of assets that were held for sale, which resulted in a gain of $0.3 million and loss of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded expense of $0.3 million and $1.4 million related to the impairment of other assets that were held for sale. The net expense of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is included within asset impairments and (gain) loss on assets held for sale, net on our Statement of Operations.

The sale of our South Texas Properties did not impact our ability to operate our Fabrication Division. Further, the sale of our South Texas Properties, and the Fabrication AHFS, did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation as we continue to operate our Fabrication Division at our fabrication yard in Houma, Louisiana.

NOTE 5 – LOSS PER COMMON SHAREShipyard Division Assets Held for Sale

NOTE 6 – LINE OF4. CREDIT FACILITIES
Credit Agreement

We have a $40.0 million Credit Agreementrevolving credit facility with Hancock Whitney Bank ("Credit Agreement") that can be used for borrowings or letters of credit. On August 27, 2018,May 1, 2019, we entered into a third amendment toamended our Credit Agreement which extendedto extend its maturity date from June 9, 2019 to June 9, 2020,2021 and reduced the base tangible net worth requirement from $185.0 million to $180.0 million. The third amendment also removed the inclusion of 50% of Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for each fiscal quarter and the inclusion of 50% of the gain on the sale of our South Texas Properties from our minimum tangible net worth covenant. Accordingly, ouramend certain financial covenants. Our amended quarterly financial covenants duringfor the remaining term of the Credit Agreement are as follows:

Ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1.25:2.00:1.00;
Minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of $180.0$170.0 million, plus 100% of the net proceeds from any issuance of stock or other equity after deducting any fees, commissions, expenses and other costs incurred in such offering; and
Ratio of funded debt (which includes outstanding letters of credit) to tangible net worth of not more than 0.50:1.00.

Our Credit Agreement also includes restrictions regarding our ability to: (i) grant liens; (ii) make certain loans or investments; (iii) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee other indebtedness in excess of specified levels; (iv) make any material change to the nature of our business or undergo a fundamental change; (v) make any material dispositions; (vi) acquire another company or all or substantially all of its assets; (vii) enter into a merger, consolidation, or sale leaseback transaction; or (viii) declare and pay dividends if any potential default or event of default occurs.

Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be designated, at our option, as either the Wall Street Journal published Prime Rate (5.0% at September 30, 2019) or LIBOR (2.0% at September 30, 2019) plus 2.0% per annum. Commitment fees on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement are 0.4% per annum, and interest on outstanding letters of credit is 2.0% per annum. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all our assets (other than the assets held for sale at(with a negative pledge on our Texas North Yard)real property).

At September 30, 2018,2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement and $2.5$10.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, providing $37.5$29.6 million of available capacity. At September 30, 2018,2019, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants.covenants, with a tangible net worth of $185.2 million (as defined by the Credit Agreement), a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 2.11:1.00, and a ratio of funded debt to tangible net worth of 0.06:1.00.

NOTE 7 - SEGMENT DISCLOSURESSurety Bonds

We have structuredissue surety bonds in the ordinary course of business to support our operations with four operating divisions, and one corporate non-operating division, which represent our reportable segments. As part of our efforts to strategically reposition the Company as discussed in Note 1, we may change how we manage the business which could result in changes to our reportable segments in future periods. Our reportable segments atprojects. At September 30, 2018 are discussed below.2019, we had $409.3 million of outstanding surety bonds.

Fabrication Division -Our Fabrication Division fabricates offshore drilling and production platforms and other steel structures for customers in the oil and gas industry including jackets and deck sections of fixed production platforms, hull, tendon, and/or deck sections of floating production platforms (such as TLPs, SPARs, FPSOs and MinDOCs), piles, wellhead protectors, subsea templates, and various production, compressor, and utility modules along with pressure vessels. Our Fabrication Division also fabricates structures for alternative energy customers (such as the five jackets and piles we constructed for the first offshore wind power project in the U.S.) as well as modules for petrochemical and industrial facilities. We perform these activities at our fabrication yard in Houma, Louisiana. As of September 30, 2018, our Texas North Yard is held for sale and our Texas South Yard had been sold. See Note 2 for further discussion of our South Texas Properties.

Shipyard Division - Our Shipyard Division fabricates newbuild vessels and repairs various steel marine vessels including offshore supply vessels, anchor handling vessels and liftboats to support the construction and ongoing operation of offshore oil and gas production platforms, tug boats, towboats, barges, drydocks and other marine vessels. Our marine repair activities include steel repair, blasting and painting services, electrical systems repair, machinery and piping system repairs, and propeller, shaft, and rudder reconditioning. In addition, we perform conversion projects that consist of lengthening vessels, modifying vessels to permit their use for a different type of activity, and other modifications to enhance the capacity or functionality of a vessel. We perform these activities at our shipyards in Houma, Jennings and Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Services Division- Our Services Division provides interconnect piping and related services for offshore platforms and inland structures, which includes sending crews to offshore platforms in the GOM to perform welding and other activities required to connect production equipment, service modules and other equipment on a platform. We also contract with oil and gas companies that have platforms and other structures located in the inland lakes and bays throughout the southeastern U.S. for various on-site construction and maintenance activities. In addition, our Services Division fabricates packaged skid units and performs various civil and drainage projects, such as pump stations, levee reinforcement, bulkheads and other work for state and local governments. We perform these services at customer facilities or at our services yard in Houma, Louisiana.

EPC Division - Our EPC Division was created during the fourth quarter 2017 to manage expected work we will perform for the SeaOne Project and other projects that may require EPC project management services. During the fourth quarter 2017, SeaOne selected us as the prime contractor for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning and start-up operations for its SeaOne Project. This project will include execution of engineering, construction and installation of modules for an export facility in Gulfport, Mississippi, and import facilities in the Caribbean and South America. Our current activities include pricing, planning and scheduling for the project. SeaOne’s selection of the Company is non-binding and commencement of the project remains subject to a number of conditions, including agreement on terms of the engagement with SeaOne. We understand that SeaOne is in the process of securing financing for the project. We continue to enhance our internal project management capabilities through the hiring of additional personnel to service this potential project.

Corporate Division - Our Corporate Division represents expenses that do not directly relate to our four operating divisions and are not allocated to our operating divisions. Such expenses include, but are not limited to, costs related to executive management and directors' fees, clerical and administrative salaries, costs of maintaining our corporate office and costs associated with overall governance and being a publicly traded company.

We generally evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, our operating divisions based upon revenue, gross profit (loss) and operating income (loss). Division assets are comprised of all assets attributable to each division. Corporate administrative and overhead expenses directly related to our operating divisions, or costs related to shared services incurred by our Corporate Division on behalf of our operating divisions, are allocated to the four operating divisions. Shared services include human resources, insurance, business development, information technology and accounting. Intersegment revenue is priced at the estimated fair value of work performed.

NOTE 8 –5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are subject to various routine legal proceedings in the normal conduct of business, primarily involving commercial disputes and claims, workers’ compensation claims, and claims for personal injury under general maritime laws of the U.S. and the Jones Act. While the outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the outcome of any such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

MPSV Termination Letter

WeDuring the first quarter 2018, we received notices of termination of the contracts for the construction of two MPSVs from one of our Shipyard Division customers.  We dispute the purported terminations and disagree with the customer’s reasons for such terminations. Pending the resolution of the dispute, we have ceased all work and the partially completed MPSVsvessels and associated equipment and materials remain at our shipyard in Houma, Louisiana. The customer also notified our Surety of its purported terminations of the construction contracts and made claims under the bonds issued by the Surety in connection with the construction of the two MPSVs.vessels.  We have notified and metdiscussed with ourthe Surety regarding our disagreement with and objection to, the customer'scustomer’s purported terminationterminations and its claims. Discussionsclaims and continue to confer with the Surety are ongoing. regarding the dispute with the customer.

On October 2, 2018, we filed a lawsuit against the customer to enforce our rights and remedies under the applicable construction contracts. Our lawsuit disputes the propriety of the customer’s purported termination

terminations of the construction contracts and seeks to recover damages associated with the customer’s actions. The customer filed its response to our lawsuit denying many of the allegations in the lawsuit and asserting a counterclaim against us seeking, among other things, declaratory judgment as to the validity of the customer's purported terminations of the construction contracts and other purported claims for which the customer is seeking damages in an unspecified amount. We filed a response to the counterclaim denying all of the customer's claims. The customer subsequently filed a motion with the court seeking, among other things, to obtain possession of the vessels. A hearing on that motion was held on May 28, 2019, and the customer's request to obtain possession of the vessels was denied by the court. The customer recently filed an amendment to its counterclaim to add claims by the customer against the Surety.  The customer also recently filed a second motion for summary judgment re-urging its previously denied request to obtain possession of the vessels.  A hearing on the second motion is currently scheduled for November 5, 2019.  Discovery in connection with the lawsuit is underway.

We are unable to estimatedetermine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome with respect to the dispute or estimate the amount of potential loss, if any, related to this matter. We can provide no assurances that we will not incur additional costs as we pursue our rights and remedies under the contracts.contracts and defend against the customer's claims. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, other noncurrent assets on our Balance Sheet included a net balance sheet position forcontract asset of $12.5 million, which consisted of our contract asset, accrued contract losses, and deferred revenue balances at the contracts was $12.5 million.time of the customer's purported termination of the contracts.

Project Award ProtestInsurance

DuringWe may be exposed to future losses through our use of deductibles and self-insured retentions for our exposures related to third party liability and workers' compensation. We expect liabilities in excess of any deductibles and self-insured retentions to be covered by insurance. To the first quarter 2018,extent we executedare self-insured, reserves are recorded based upon our estimates, with input from legal and insurance advisors. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
We obtain letters of credit under our Credit Agreement or surety bonds from financial institutions to provide to our customers in order to secure advance payments or guarantee performance under our contracts, or in lieu of retention being withheld on our contracts. With respect to a letter of credit under our Credit Agreement, any advance payment in the event of non-performance under a contract forwould become a borrowing under our Credit Agreement and thus a direct obligation. With respect to a surety bond, any advance payment in the construction and deliveryevent of one towing, salvage and rescue ship vessel with the U.S. Navy for $63.6 million, with an option for seven additional vessels, which was subsequently protested by onenon-performance is subject to indemnification of the unsuccessful bidders. On July 16, 2018, we were notified that the award was upheldSurety by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and we were given a notification to proceed. On August 6, 2018, we were notified that the unsuccessful bidder had filed a subsequent protest with the Department of Justice. On August 9, 2018, we were granted a partial stay,us, which allowsmay require us to proceed with pre-construction design development, planning, schedulingborrow under our Credit Agreement. When a contract is complete, the contingent obligation terminates, and material ordering. Constructionletters of the vessel cannot begin until a final ruling is issued by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Wecredit or surety bonds are working with the U.S. Navy to re-establish a timeline for construction under this contract.

Leases
Our significant operating leases include our corporate office in Houston, Texas and our shipyard facilities in Lake Charles and Jennings, Louisiana. Our corporate office lease expires in 2025 and our Lake Charles and Jennings leases include renewal options that allow us to extend the lease terms through 2038 and 2045, respectively. We are reasonably certain we will exercise


the renewal options and have therefore included the optional renewal periods in our expected lease terms and the measurement of our operating lease assets and liabilities. The table below sets forth the approximate future lease payments related to our operating leases with initial terms of more than one year (in thousands):
Period Payments
Remainder of 2019 $163
2020 659
2021 668
2022 677
2023 676
Thereafter 6,173
Total lease payments 9,016
Less interest (3,989)
Present value of lease liabilities $5,027


The discount rate used to determine the present value of our lease liabilities was based on the interest rate on our Credit Agreement adjusted for terms similar to that of our leased properties.  At September 30, 2019, our weighted-average remaining lease term was approximately 15.8 years and the weighted-average discount rate used to derive our lease liability was 7.5%. Cash paid for lease liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to extensive and changing U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as the laws of other countries, that establish health and environmental quality standards. These standards, among others, relate to air and water pollutants and the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. We are exposed to potential liability for personal injury or property damage caused by any release, spill, exposure or other accident involving such pollutants, substances or wastes. In connection with the historical operation of our facilities, including those associated with acquired operations, substances which currently are or might be considered hazardous were used or disposed of at some sites that will or may require us to make expenditures for remediation. We believe we are in compliance, in all material respects, with environmental laws and regulations and maintain insurance coverage to mitigate exposure to environmental liabilities. We do not believe any environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

7. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

During 2018, we operated and managed our business through four operating divisions ("Fabrication", "Shipyard", "Services" and "EPC") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represented our reportable segments. During the first quarter 2019, our EPC Division was operationally combined with our Fabrication Division. Our EPC Division was previously created to support the pursuit of a specific EPC project and other projects that require project management of EPC activities. Our operational combination of the EPC Division with the Fabrication Division is the result of our reduced emphasis on EPC project management opportunities and greater focus on modular fabrication and offshore wind opportunities. As a result of the aforementioned, we currently operate and manage our business through three operating divisions ("Fabrication", "Shipyard" and "Services") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represent our current reportable segments. The segment results for the EPC Division for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were combined with the Fabrication Division to conform to the

presentations of our reportable segments for the 2019 periods. We believe that our operating divisions meet the criteria of reportable segments under GAAP. Our three operating divisions and Corporate Division are discussed below:
Fabrication Division -Our Fabrication Division fabricates modules for petrochemical and industrial facilities, foundations for alternative energy developments and other complex structures. Our Fabrication Division also fabricates offshore drilling and production platforms and other offshore structures for customers in the oil and gas industry, including jackets and deck sections of fixed production platforms, hull and/or deck sections of floating production platforms (such as TLPs, SPARs, FPSOs), piles, wellhead protectors, subsea templates, and various production, compressor, and utility modules along with pressure vessels. In addition, our Fabrication Division supports our efforts to pursue offshore wind opportunities and other projects that require project management of EPC activities. These activities are performed at our fabrication yard in Houma, Louisiana.

Shipyard Division - Our Shipyard Division fabricates newbuild vessels, including OSVs, MPSVs, research vessels, tugboats, salvage vessels, towboats, barges, drydocks, anchor handling vessels, lift boats and other marine vessels. Our Shipyard Division also performs marine repair activities, including steel repair, blasting and painting services, electrical systems repair, machinery and piping system repairs, and propeller, shaft, and rudder reconditioning. In addition, our Shipyard Division performs conversion projects that consist of lengthening vessels, modifying vessels to permit their use for a different type of activity, and other modifications to enhance the capacity or functionality of a vessel. These activities are performed at our shipyards in Houma, Jennings and Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Services Division- Our Services Division provides interconnect piping and related services on offshore platforms and inland structures. Interconnect piping services involve sending employee crews to offshore platforms in the GOM to perform welding and other activities required to connect production equipment, service modules and other equipment on a platform. Our Services Division also contracts with oil and gas companies that have platforms and other structures located in the inland lakes and bays throughout the southeastern U.S. for various on-site construction and maintenance activities. In addition, our Services Division fabricates packaged skid units and performs various municipal and drainage projects, such as pump stations, levee reinforcement, bulkheads and other public works projects for state and local governments. These services are performed at customer facilities or at our services yard in Houma, Louisiana.

Corporate Division - Our Corporate Division represents costs that do not directly relate to our three operating divisions. Such costs include, but are not limited to, executive management and directors' fees, clerical and administrative salaries, costs of maintaining our corporate office and costs associated with overall governance and being a publicly traded company. Costs incurred by our Corporate Division on behalf of our operating divisions are allocated to the operating divisions. Such costs include, but are not limited to, costs related to human resources, insurance, sales and marketing, information technology and accounting.

We generally evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, our operating divisions based upon revenue, gross profit (loss) and operating income (loss). Division assets are comprised of all assets attributable to each division. Intersegment revenues are priced at the estimated fair value of work performed. Summarized financial information for our segments as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, is as follows (in thousands):

Overview

Certain terms are defined in the “Glossary of Terms” beginning on page ii.

We are a leading fabricator of complex steel structures, modules and marine vessels used in energy extraction and production, petrochemical and industrial facilities, power generation, alternative energy and shipping and marine transportation operations. We also provide related project management, for EPC projects along with installation, hookup, commissioning, repair, maintenance and repair and maintenancecivil construction services. In addition, we perform civil, drainage and other work for state and local governments. Our customers include United States ("U.S.") and, to a lesser extent, international energy producers,producers; petrochemical, industrial, power, and marine operators,operators; EPC companiescompanies; and agencies of the U.S. Government. Government.

We operate and manage our business through fourthree operating divisions ("Fabrication", "Shipyard" and "Services") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represent our reportable segments. OurDuring the first quarter 2019, our former EPC Division was operationally combined with our Fabrication Division, and accordingly, the segment results for the EPC Division for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were combined with the Fabrication Division to conform to the presentation of our reportable segments for the 2019 period. See Note 7 of our Financial Statements for further discussion of our realigned operating divisions include: Fabrication, Shipyard, Services and EPC.divisions. Our corporate headquarters is located in Houston, Texas, with fabricationoperating facilities located in Houma, Jennings and Lake Charles, Louisiana. At September 30, 2018,

Beginning in late 2014, a severe and sustained decline in oil and gas prices led to a significant decline in oil and gas industry drilling activities and capital spending from our Texas North Yard is held fortraditional offshore customer base. As a result, our operating results and cash flows were negatively impacted as we experienced reductions in revenue, lower margins due to competitive pricing and a significant underutilization of our facilities in our Fabrication and Shipyard Divisions. In addition, we incurred losses on certain projects in our Shipyard and Fabrication Divisions. As a result of these market changes and project losses, we implemented initiatives to preserve and improve our liquidity through cost reduction efforts and the sale of underutilized assets. Further, to reduce our Fabrication Division's reliance on offshore oil and gas construction and our Texas South Yard had been sold.

We continueShipyard Division's reliance on marine vessel work related to the oil and gas sector, we began to strategically positionreposition the Company to participate in the fabrication of petrochemical and industrial facilities, pursue offshore wind opportunities enter the EPC industry and diversify our customer base within all of our operating divisions. In addition, we continue to focus on maintaining liquidity and securing meaningful new contract awards and backlog in the near-term, and generating operating income and cash flow from operations in the longer-term. We have made significant progress in our efforts to reposition the Company, increase our backlog and improve and preserve our liquidity, including cost reductions in costs (including reducing our workforce and reducing the cash compensation paid to our directors and the salaries of our executive officers) and the divestituresale of underutilized assets. We are further focused on strengthening relationships with key customers and enhancing our proposal, estimating and operations resources, processes and procedures to improve our competitiveness and overall project execution.

SalesOngoing Effort to Divest of Underutilized Assets

Texas South Yard Fabrication Assets Held for Sale -- During the second quarter 2018, we completed the sale of our Texas South Yard for $55.0 million, less selling costs of $1.5 million, for total net proceeds during the nine-months ended At September 30, 20182019, our Fabrication Division had $17.9 million of approximately $53.5 million and a gain of approximately $3.9 million.

Texas North Yard - On September 26, 2018, we entered into an agreement to sell our Texas North Yard and certain associated equipment for $28.0 million. We received $0.5 million during the third quarter 2018 as a deposit on the property, which is refundable under certain circumstances. The sale is anticipated to close during the fourth quarter 2018 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the purchaser’s right to conduct inspections of the property related to confirmation of title, surveys, environmental conditions, easements and access rights and third-party consents. Based on the sales price and estimated closing and other costs, we expect to realize a gain on the transaction upon closing. We can provide no assurances that we will successfully close the transaction, that closing will occur under our expected timeline or that we will achieve our estimated net proceeds or a gain on the sale. We continue to actively market the remaining Texas North Yard assets held for sale ("Fabrication AHFS") which were initially expected to be sold with the South Texas Properties. These assets consist primarily consist of three 660-ton crawler cranes, a deck barge, atwo plate bending roll machinemachines and panel line equipment. The Fabrication AHFS were relocated to our fabrication yard in Houma, Louisiana. See Note 3 of our Financial Statements for further discussion of our assets held for sale, including recent sales of underutilized assets.

Ongoing Efforts to Increase Our Backlog, Diversify of Our Customer Base and Resolve Customer Dispute

Pursuit of petrochemical and industrial fabrication work - DuringWe continue to focus our business development efforts on petrochemical and industrial fabrication opportunities in response to the second quarterdepressed offshore fabrication market. Although our pursuit of certain large project opportunities has been negatively affected by the timing and delay of such opportunities and the competitive market environment, we have experienced success with several smaller project opportunities, and our volume of bidding activity for onshore modules and structures continues to be at its highest level since we commenced our initiative. In addition, during 2018 we completed the fabrication and timely delivery of four large modules for a new petrochemical facility. We currently have several bids outstanding for the fabrication of modules and continue to pursue additional fabrication workfacility in the petrochemicalU.S., providing increased confidence to our customers that we can successfully compete and industrial industries.execute in the onshore fabrication market.

Pursuit of offshore wind - We continue to believe that future requirements from generators and utilities to provide electricity from renewable and green sources will result in continued growth of offshore wind projects. WeFurther, we believe we possess the expertise and relationships to successfully participate in this growing market. During 2015, we fabricated wind turbine pedestalsfoundations for the first offshore wind power project in the U.S. in 2015,, and we believe that we possess the expertise to obtain future work in this sector. During the first quarterduring 2018, we signedfabricated a contract for the fabrication of one meteorological tower and platform for an offshore wind project located off the U.S.

coast of Maryland. The fabrication work was completed in the second quarter 2018 and representsThese projects demonstrate our continued ability to provide structures for this emerging industry. We mayare also partner with other companiesstrengthening our project management capabilities to take advantage of growth in this areasupport potential offshore wind projects and, haveduring the first quarter 2019, executed a teamingcooperation agreement with the EEW GroupSmulders to jointly pursue future U.S. offshore wind projects. Weopportunities. Smulders, a Belgian company, is a major fabrication supplier of offshore wind structures in Europe. Although we believe such a relationship will help to strategically position us in our pursuit of offshore wind projects, we can provide no assurances that we will be successful obtainingsuccessfully obtain future wind project awards fromas a result of this arrangement.


Diversification and Growth of our customer baseCustomer Base - - We are continuing to diversify our customer base within our operating divisions. Specifically:

During the first quarter 2018,Shipyard Division - Within our Shipyard Division we executed a contract for the construction and delivery of one towing, salvage and rescue ship vesselhave increased our backlog with the U.S. Navy for $63.6 million, with an option for seven additional vessels, which was subsequently protested by onecustomers outside of the unsuccessful bidders. On July 16, 2018,oil and gas sector. At September 30, 2019, projects in our backlog include:
The construction of three towing, salvage and rescue ships (individual project values of approximately $64.0 million), with customer options for five additional vessels;
The construction of three regional class research vessels (individual project values of approximately $69.0 to $77.0 million);
The construction of a seventy-vehicle ferry; and
The construction of five harbor tug vessels.
Fabrication Division - Within our Fabrication Division we were notifiedhave increased our backlog with traditional and non-traditional fabrication work as we continue to pursue petrochemical and industrial fabrication opportunities for modules and structures. At September 30, 2019, projects in our backlog include:
The fabrication of an offshore jacket and deck (destined for Trinidad);
The expansion and delivery of a 245-guest paddle wheel riverboat. The riverboat will be reconfigured using the existing hull of a former gaming vessel; and
The construction of two, forty-vehicle ferries.
These projects represent large steel structures that the award was upheldare well suited for our fabrication yard in Houma, Louisiana.
Services Division - Within our Services Division our activity has been impacted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office,timing of new project awards and fluctuations in the demand for our products and services. Further, in recent periods we were given a notification to proceed. On August 6, 2018, we were notified that the unsuccessful bidder had filed a subsequent protest with the Departmenthave experienced an increasing amount of Justice.  On August 9, 2018, we were granted a partial stay, which allows us to proceed with pre-construction design development, planning, schedulinglower margin maintenance work and material ordering. Construction of the vessel cannot begin until a final ruling is issued by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. We are working with the U.S. Navysales compared to re-establish a timeline for construction under this contract.
During the second quarter 2018, we signed change orders with two different customers for the construction of one additional harbor tug boat for each customer. Each change order was approximately $13.0 million. We are now constructing a total of five harbor tug boats for each customer.
During the third quarter 2018, we signed a contract for the expansion and delivery of a 245-guest paddle wheel riverboat. The paddle wheel boat will be built using the existing hull of a former gaming vessel built in 1995.
Continued growth of our services related work - Demand for services associated with offshore tie-backs upgrades and maintenance remains strong, and wefabricated products, which have historically provided higher margin opportunities. We anticipate itthis recent mix of work will continue for the remainder of 20182019. Although visibility beyond 2019 is uncertain, and into 2019.fluctuations in the timing and mix of work are normal, we believe that the overall market demand for the products and services offered by this Division is strong. We will continueare continuing to pursue opportunities for offshore and onshore plant expansion and maintenance work, and have targeted service opportunities withinwe are receiving indications from our customers that the shale basins in West Texas.need for offshore tie-backs and fabricated products is increasing.

Pursuit of EPC workMPSV Contracts Dispute - During the fourthfirst quarter 2017, SeaOne selected us as the prime contractor for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning and start-up operations for their SeaOne Project. This project will include execution of engineering, construction and installation of modules for an export facility in Gulfport, Mississippi, and import facilities in the Caribbean and South America. Our current activities include pricing, planning and scheduling for the project. SeaOne’s selection of the Company is non-binding and commencement of the project remains subject to a number of conditions, including agreement on terms of the engagement with SeaOne. We understand that SeaOne is in the process of securing financing for the project. We continue to enhance our internal project management capabilities through the hiring of additional personnel to service this potential project.

MPSV contract dispute - As discussed in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements,2018, we received notices of termination of the contracts for the construction of two MPSVs from one of our Shipyard Division customers.  We dispute the purported terminations and disagree with the customer’s reasons for such terminations. Pending the resolution of the dispute, we have ceased all work, and the partially completed MPSVsvessels and associated equipment and materials remain at our shipyard in Houma, Louisiana. The customer also notified our Surety of its purported terminations of the construction contracts and made claims under the bonds issued by the Surety in connection with the construction of the two MPSVs.vessels.  We have notified and metdiscussed with ourthe Surety regarding our disagreement with and objection to, the customer'scustomer’s purported terminationterminations and its claims. Discussionsclaims and continue to confer with the Surety are ongoing. regarding the dispute with the customer.

On October 2, 2018, we filed a lawsuit against the customer to enforce our rights and remedies under the applicable construction contracts. Our lawsuit disputes the propriety of the customer’s purported terminationterminations of the construction contracts and seeks to recover damages associated with the customer’s actions. The customer filed its response to our lawsuit denying many of the allegations in the lawsuit and asserting a counterclaim against us seeking, among other things, declaratory judgment as to the validity of the customer's purported terminations of the construction contracts and other purported claims for which the customer is seeking damages in an unspecified amount. We filed a response to the counterclaim denying all of the customer's claims. The customer subsequently filed a motion with the court seeking, among other things, to obtain possession of the vessels. A hearing on that motion was held on May 28, 2019, and the customer's request to obtain possession of the vessels was denied by the court. The customer recently filed an amendment to its counterclaim to add claims by the customer against the Surety.  The customer also recently filed a second motion for summary judgment re-urging its previously denied request to obtain possession of the

vessels.  A hearing on the second motion is currently scheduled for November 5, 2019.  Discovery in connection with the lawsuit is underway.

We are unable to estimatedetermine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome with respect to the dispute or estimate the amount of potential loss, if any, related to this matter. We can provide no assurances that we will not incur additional costs as we pursue our rights and remedies under the contracts.contracts and defend against the customer’s claims. At September 30, 2019, other noncurrent assets on our Balance Sheet included a net contract asset of $12.5 million related to these projects. See "Legal Proceedings" in Part II, Item 1 of this Report and Note 5 of our Financial Statements for further discussion of our dispute.
 
Review of Alternative Strategies

On November 4, 2019, we announced the completion of our previously announced review of alternative strategies that began in early May 2019.

Operating Outlook

Looking forward, ourOur results of operations will be affected primarilyprospectively by the overall demand and market for our services. In recent years, a significant portion ofFurther, our historical customer base has been negatively affected by a declinesuccess in offshore oil and gas exploration and development activity as companies focus on onshore development opportunities. As a result, and as discussed above, we have implemented a number of initiatives to strategically repositionrepositioning the Company to participate in the fabrication of petrochemical and industrial facilities, pursue offshore wind opportunities enter the EPC industry, and diversify our customerscustomer base within all of our operating divisions. The success of these initiatives and our future operationsdivisions, will be determined by, among other things:

The level of new construction and fabrication projects in the new markets we are pursuing for our Fabrication Division, including petrochemical and industrial facilities and offshore wind;

The ability of SeaOne to obtain financingwind developments, and our successful execution of an agreement with SeaOne for the SeaOne Project;ability to secure new project awards;
Continued growth within our Shipyard and Services Divisions;
Our ability to secure contractsnew project awards through competitive bidding and/or alliance/alliance and partnering arrangements;
Our ability to execute projects within our cost estimates and successfully manage them through completion; and
Our ability to resolve our dispute with aour customer related to the construction of two MPSVs.

We continue to respond to the competitive environment within our industry and actively compete for additional opportunities. We have increasedOur focus remains on maintaining our liquidity and securing meaningful new project awards and backlog withinin the near-term and generating operating income and cash flows from operations in the longer-term. Although we experienced a decline in backlog for our Shipyard, Fabrication and ServicesShipyard Divisions andduring the third quarter 2019, we believe we will be successful securing new project awards and growing our backlog. However,backlog in the future. Further, we are experiencing significantly improved utilization of our operationsShipyard facilities as we ramp up construction activities for our large projects in backlog; however, we anticipate that our Fabrication Division will be negatively impacted in the near termnear-term by the underutilization of its facilities due to an anticipated lagthe delay in the commencementtiming of fabrication activities for our recent and anticipated new project awards.

We continue to risk of injury. We are committedimprove and maintain a stringent safety assurance program designed to ensure the safety of our employees and believe it is keyallow us to remain in compliance with all applicable federal and state mandated safety regulations. We are committed to maintaining a well-trained workforce and providing timely instruction to ensure our success.

We provide continuous safety performance increaseseducation and training to employees and subcontractors to ensure they are ready for the challenges inherent in all our costs, resultsprojects. Our employees commence training on their first day of employment with a comprehensive orientation class that addresses Company policies and procedures and provides clear expectations for working safely. We have a zero-tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol use in construction delaysthe workplace. We support this policy through the use of a comprehensive drug and limitsalcohol screening program that includes initial screenings for all employees and periodic random screenings throughout employment. Additionally, we require our abilitysubcontractors to compete for project awards within our market.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to Item 7. “Management’s“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 included in our 20172018 Annual Report. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2017.2018.

New Project Awards and Backlog
New project awards represent the expected revenue valuevalues of new contract commitments received during a given period, as well asincluding scope growth on existing commitments. New contract commitments represent contracts for which aA commitment represents authorization from our customer has authorized us to begin work or purchase materials pursuant to a written agreement, lettersletter of intent or other formsform of authorization. Backlog represents the unearned value of our new project awards and may differ from the value of futureremaining performance obligations for our contracts required to be disclosed under Topic 606 and presented in Note 3 to2 of our Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that backlog,In general, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful informationperformance obligation is a contractual obligation to investors.construct and/or transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Backlog includes our performance obligations at September 30, 2018,2019, plus signed contracts that are temporarily suspended or under protest that may not meet the criteria to be reported as future performance obligations under Topic 606 but represent future work that we believe will be performed. We believe that backlog, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors. New project awards and backlog may vary significantly each reporting period based on the timing of our major new contract commitments.commitments.
Our projects
Projects in our backlog are generally subject to delay, suspension, termination, or aan increase or reduction in scope at the option of the customer, although the customer is required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased through the date of termination, suspension, or reduction in scope. In addition, customers have the ability to delay the execution of projects. We generally exclude suspended projects from backlog when they are expected to be suspended more than twelve months, because resumption of work and timing of revenue recognition for these projects are difficult to predict. Depending on the size of the project, the delay, suspension, termination postponementor increase or reduction in scope of any one contract could significantly reduceimpact our backlog and could have a material adverse effect on futurechange the expected amount and timing of revenue operating results and cash flows. recognized.

CertainOur contracts for the construction of our contractsthree towing, salvage and rescue ships contain options which grant our customer (the U.S. Navy) the right, to our customer, if exercised, for the construction of additional vessels at contracted prices. We do not include options in our backlog. If all options under our current contracts were exercised by our customers,customer, our backlog would increase by approximately $534.0$333.0 million. We have not received any commitments from our customer related to the exercise of these options, and we can provide no assurances that any options will be exercised. We believe disclosing these options provides investors with useful information to evaluate additional potential work that we would be contractually obligated to perform under our current contracts as well as the potential significance of these options, if exercised. We have not received any commitments from our customers related to the exercise of these options, and we can provide no assurances that any of these options will be exercised.
As our backlog increases, we will add personnel with critical project management and fabrication skills to ensure we have the resources necessary to properly execute our projects and support our project risk mitigation discipline for all projects. This may negatively impact near-term results.

Workforce
At September 30, 2018, we had 816 employees compared to 977 employees at December 31, 2017. Labor hours worked were 1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in labor hours worked is primarily within our Fabrication Division due to completion of complex modules for a new petrochemical facility with no immediate replacement backlog for our Fabrication Division during the 2018 period, as well as the suspension of construction of two MPSVs within our Shipyard Division pending resolution of the dispute with our customer. See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the dispute.This decrease was partially offset by improved demand within our Services Division.

Under recovery of our overhead costs (including holding costs for(primarily associated with the underutilization of our Texas North Yard of $0.7 million)facilities within our Fabrication Division, and the impact of lower margin backlogto a lesser extent within our Shipyard DivisionDivision), including a $0.4 million impact due to Hurricane Barry associated with the costs of hurricane preparation and its impact on the utilization of our facilities and personnel;
Charge of $1.9 million related to previousforecast cost increases and liquidated damages on our harbor tug projects in our Shipyard Division (see Note 2 of our Financial Statements for further discussion of the changes in estimates on these projects);
Charge of $1.5 million related to forecast cost increases and liquidated damages on a subsea components fabrication project awards sold during a periodin our Services Division (see Note 2 of competitive pricing. our Financial Statements for further discussion of the changes in estimates on this project); and
Charge of $0.5 million related to forecast cost increases on our ice-breaker tug project in our Shipyard Division (see Note 2 of our Financial Statements for further discussion of the changes in estimates on this project).


The increasedecrease in gross loss for 2019 relative to the prior period was primarily due to a higher gross loss for our Fabrication Division of $5.3 million related to decreased fabrication revenue, offset partially by:to:

Higher revenue and increased recoveries of overhead costs due to higher activity; and
A decrease in gross loss withinhigher margin project mix for our Shipyard Division (excluding the aforementioned project charges); offset partially by,
The aforementioned project charges of $1.7$3.9 million due to increased revenue, a reduction in overhead costs, and the prior period including $2.1 million in contract losses related to cost increases on the construction of two MPSVs;for 2019; and
Increased gross profit withinA lower margin project mix for our Services Division of $1.3 million due to increased revenue and higher recovery of our overhead costs.(excluding the aforementioned project charge).

Lower incentive plan costs, board of director compensation costs, and legal and advisory fees related to customer disputes; offset partially by,
Higher professional fees and other costs associated with the evaluation of strategic alternatives and initiatives to diversify and enhance our business.

The customer disputes relate primarily to the pursuit of claims against a customer for disputed change orders for a completed project, and our MPSV projects which are subject to a purported termination and for which construction has been suspended. Legal and advisory fees related to such disputes totaled $0.8 million and $1.5 million for 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Asset impairments and (gain) loss on assets held for sale, net - Asset impairments and (gain) loss on assets held for sale, net for 2019 and 2018 was a loss of $0.3 million and a gain $5.7 million, respectively. The loss for 2019 was primarily due to the impairment of a drydock held for sale. The gain for 2018 was primarily due to the net impact of:

A gain of $3.9 million from the sale of our Texas South Yard; and
A gain of $3.6 million from the settlement of our insurance claim related to Hurricane Harvey damage at our South Texas Properties incurred during 2017; offset partially by,
Impairments of $1.4 million related to assets held for sale.

See Note 3 of our Financial Statements for further discussion of our assets held for sale.

Other (income) expense, net - Other (income) expense, net for 2019 and 2018 was income of $0.2 million and expense of $2.9 million, respectively. Other (income) expense, net generally represents (recoveries) provisions for bad debts, (gains) losses associated with the sale or disposition of property and equipment other than assets held for sale, and (income) expense associated with certain nonrecurring items. The income for 2019 was primarily due to net gains on the sales of equipment. The expense for 2018 was primarily due to bad debt expense of $2.8 million related to a contracts receivable reserve recorded within our Fabrication Division as we received indications that collectibility of the receivable was no longer probable, offset partially by net gains on the sales of equipment. The reserved receivable was ultimately collected in the fourth quarter 2018.

Interest (expense) income, net - Interest (expense) income, net for 2019 and 2018, was income of $0.5 million and expense of $0.2 million, respectively. The net interest income for 2019 was primarily due to interest earned on our cash and short-term investment balances, offset partially by interest amortization associated with our long-term lease liability. The net interest expense for 2018 was primarily due to borrowings under our Credit Agreement during 2018.

Revenue - Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, was $161.0 million and $133.7 million, respectively, representing an increase of 20.4%. The increase was primarily due to a $22.9 million increase within our Services Division from additional demand for both onshore and offshore services and a $14.9 million increase within our Shipyard Division primarily due to additional progress on the construction of ten harbor tug vessels, two regional class research vessels and an ice-breaker tug that was not under construction during the prior period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $14.3 million within our Fabrication Division primarily due to the completion and delivery of four modules for a petrochemical facility during the second quarter 2018 and lower revenue from our two MPSV contracts that were suspended during the first quarter 2018.

Gross loss - Gross loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, was $3.2 million (2.0% of revenue) and $17.0 million (12.7% of revenue), respectively, representing a decrease of 81.0%. The gross loss during the 2018 period was primarily due to under recovery of our overhead costs (including holding costs for our South Texas Properties of $1.6 million) and the impact of lower margin backlog within our Shipyard Division related to previous project awards sold during a period of competitive pricing.

The decrease in gross loss2019 relative to the prior period was primarily due to a decrease in gross loss within our Shipyard Divisionhigher revenue, increased recoveries of $13.5 millionoverhead costs due to increased revenue,higher activity, and a reduction in overhead costs, and the prior period including $12.7 million in contract losses related to cost increases on the construction of two MPSVs, and increased gross profit within our Services Division of $7.1 million due to increased revenue and higher recovery of our overhead costs, offset partially by a gross loss for our Fabrication Division of $5.9 million related to decreased fabrication revenue.margin project mix.

The decrease wascustomer disputes relate primarily due to the completion and delivery of four modules for a petrochemical facility during the second quarter 2018 with no other significant projects under construction during the remaining period of 2018. We were awarded a new project for the expansion of a paddle wheel riverboat during the third quarter 2018 that will be constructed by our Fabrication Division; however, construction did not commence until the fourth quarter 2018. In addition, revenue from our South Texas Properties decreased $3.5 million as these properties were either sold and/or marketed for sale during all of 2018. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our South Texas Properties.

Gross profit (loss) - Gross profit (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, was a gross loss of $5.9 million (21.0% of revenue) and a gross profit of $0.2 million (0.5% of revenue), respectively. The gross loss during the 2018 period was primarily due to under recovery of our overhead costs (including holding costs for our South Texas Properties of $1.6 million).

General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, were $5.3 million (18.6% of revenue) and $2.4 million (5.7% of revenue), respectively, representing an increase of 115.9%. The increase is primarily due to:

Bad debt expense of $2.8 million related to a contracts receivable reserve recorded during the third quarter 2018 as we received indications that collectability of the receivable was no longer probable;
Legal and advisory fees related to pursuit of claims against a customer for disputed change orders for a completed project, completed priorand our MPSV projects which are subject to 2017;a purported termination and
Legal expenses incurred to market and sell our South Texas Properties.

These increases were offset partially by headcount reductions. for which construction has been suspended.

(2)Represents our cash position relative to revenue recognized on projects, with contract assets representing unbilled amounts that reflect future cash inflows on projects, and contract liabilities representing (i) advance payments that reflect future cash expenditures and non-cash earnings on projects and (ii) accrued contract losses that represent future cash expenditures on projects.
(3) Changes referenced in the cash flow activity section below may differ from the changes in this table due to non-cash reclassifications and due to certain changes in balance sheet accounts being reflected within other line items on the Statement of Cash Flows, including bad debt expense and (gain) loss on sales of fixed assets and other assets.

Fluctuations in our working capital, balance, and its components, are not unusual in our business and are impacted by the size of our projects and the mix of our backlog. Our working capital is particularly impacted by the timing of new project awards and related payments in advance of performing work, and the subsequent achievement of billing milestones or project progress billings on backlog

as we complete certain phases of work. Working capital is also impacted at period-end by the timing of contracts receivable collections and accounts payable payments on our projects.

A summary of our immediately available liquidity atCash Flow Activity

Operating Activities - During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, is as follows (in thousands):2019, net cash used in operating activities was $6.7 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash used in operating activities during the 2019 period was primarily due to an operating loss for the period and the net impact of the following:

___________Increase in contract assets of $20.9 million related to the timing of billings on projects, primarily due to an increase in unbilled positions on four projects in our Shipyard Division (primarily for our three regional class research vessel projects and our first towing, salvage and rescue ship) and a project in our Services Division, offset partially by a decrease in unbilled positions on our harbor tug projects. See below for discussion of increase in related accounts payable;
(1) Includes U.S. TreasuriesDecrease in contract liabilities of $1.2 million, primarily due to the unwind of advance payments on a project in our Fabrication Division, offset partially by an increase in billings on a project in our Fabrication Division and advance payments on a project in our Shipyard Division;
Increase in contracts receivable and retainage of $7.8 million related to the timing of billings and collections on our projects, primarily due to an increase in billings on two projects in our Fabrication Division, offset partially by a decrease in billings on certain projects in our Services Division;
Decrease in prepaid expenses, inventory and other investment-grade commercial paper which can be liquidated quickly in open markets.

Sales of Assets

As discussed in our Overview, we have initiated several strategies to monetize underutilized assets. Specifically, during the
second quarter 2018, we completed the sale of our Texas South Yard for $55.0 million, less selling costsassets of $1.5 million, primarily due to a decrease in inventory;
Increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $28.8 million, primarily due to increased project activity and the timing of payments for totalprojects in our Shipyard Division (primarily for our three regional class research vessel projects and three towing, salvage and rescue ship projects); and
Change in noncurrent assets and liabilities, net proceeds duringof $0.9 million.

During the nine-monthsthree months ended September 30, 2018 of approximately $53.5 million and a gain of approximately $3.92019, net cash used in operating activities was $3.8 million.

In addition, onInvesting Activities - During the nine months ended September 26, 2018, we entered into an agreement30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $17.0 million, compared to sellnet cash provided by investing activities of $55.5 million for the Texas North Yard and certain associated equipment for $28.0 million. We received $0.5 millionnine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash used in investing activities during the third quarter 2018 as a deposit on2019 period was primarily due to the property, which is refundable under certain circumstances. The sale is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter 2018purchase of short-term investments of $45.4 million and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the purchaser’s right to conduct inspectionscapital expenditures of the property related to confirmation$2.0 million, offset partially by maturities of title, surveys, environmental conditions, easementsshort-term investments of $28.8 million and access rights, and third-party consents. Based onproceeds from the sales price and estimated closing and other costs, we expect to realize a gain on the transaction upon closing. We can provide no assurances that we will successfully close the transaction, that closing will occur under our expected timeline or that we will achieve our estimated net proceeds or a gain on the sale. We continue to actively market the remaining Texas North Yard assets held for sale, which primarily consist of three 660-ton crawler cranes, a barge, a plate bending roll machine, and panel line equipment.equipment of $1.6 million.


LineFinancing Activities - During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of Credit$0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash used in financing activities for both the 2019 and 2018 periods was primarily due to tax payments made on behalf of employees from vested stock withholdings.

Credit Facilities

Credit Agreement - We have a $40.0 million Credit Agreementrevolving credit facility with Hancock Whitney Bank ("Credit Agreement") that can be used for borrowings or letters of credit. On August 27, 2018,May 1, 2019, we entered into a third amendment toamended our Credit Agreement which extendedto extend its maturity date from June 9, 2019 to June 9, 2020,2021 and reduced the base tangible net worth requirement from $185.0 million to $180.0 million. The third amendment also removed the inclusion of 50% of Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for each fiscal quarter and the inclusion of 50% of the gain on the sale of our South Texas Properties from our minimum tangible net worth covenant. Accordingly, ouramend certain financial covenants. Our amended quarterly financial covenants duringfor the remaining term of the Credit Agreement, are as follows:

Ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1.25:2.00:1.00;
Minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of $180.0$170.0 million, plus 100% of the net proceeds from any issuance of stock or other equity after deducting of any fees, commissions, expenses and other costs incurred in such offering; and
Ratio of funded debt (which includes outstanding letters of credit) to tangible net worth of not more than 0.50:1.00.


Our Credit Agreement also includes restrictions regarding our ability to: (i) grant liens; (ii) make certain loans or investments; (iii) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee other indebtedness in excess of specified levels; (iv) make any material change to the nature of our business or undergo a fundamental change; (v) make any material dispositions; (vi) acquire another company or all or substantially all of its assets; (vii) enter into a merger, consolidation, or sale leaseback transaction; or (viii) declare and pay dividends if any potential default or event of default occurs.

Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be designated, at our option, as either the Wall Street Journal published Prime Rate (5.0% at September 30, 2019) or LIBOR (2.0% at September 30, 2019) plus 2.0% per annum. Commitment fees on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement are 0.4% per annum, and interest on outstanding letters of credit is 2.0% per annum. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all our assets (other than the assets held for sale at(with a negative pledge on our Texas North Yard)real property).

At September 30, 2018,2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement and $2.5$10.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, providing $37.5$29.6 million of available capacity. At September 30, 2018,2019, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants, with a tangible net worth of $203.2$185.2 million (as defined by the Credit Agreement) and, a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 3.372.11:1.00 and a ratio of funded debt to 1.0.tangible net worth of 0.06:1.00.

Cash Flow ActivitySurety Bonds - We issue surety bonds in the ordinary course of business to support our projects. At September 30, 2019, we had $409.3 million of outstanding surety bonds. Although we believe there is sufficient bonding capacity available to us from one or more financial institutions, such capacity is uncommitted, and accordingly, we can provide no assurances that necessary bonding capacity will be available to support our future bonding requirements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $18.7 million and $29.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $7.8 million, compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.6 million, respectively. The use of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily due to the following:Liquidity Outlook

Operating losses for the period, excluding gains from asset sales and insurance recoveries of $6.8 million, bad debt expense of $2.8 million, non-cash amortization of deferred revenue of $0.5 million, and non-cash depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, and stock compensation expense totaling $11.3 million;
Increase in contracts receivable and retainage of $6.2 million (exclusive of bad debt expense of $2.8 million and a $3.0 million reclassification of retainage to other noncurrent assets during the period as we do not anticipate collection within the next twelve months). The increase in contracts receivable, net of the reclassification, is primarily due to slower collections of receivables for our T&M work;
Increase in contracts in progress of $11.8 million, primarily related to the net billing positions on projects in our Shipyard Division;
Increase in prepaid expenses, inventory and other assets of $2.5 million, primarily due to the aforementioned reclassification of retainage to other noncurrent assets; and
Decrease in accrued contract losses and noncurrent deferred revenue of $3.2 million.

These uses of cash were partially offset by:

Increase in advance billings on contracts of $9.8 million, primarily related to the net billing position on projects in our Fabrication Division; and
Increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4.2 million;

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash provided by investing activities was $55.5 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Cash provided by investing activities during the 2018 period was due to proceeds received from asset sales of $57.7 million, primarily related to the sale of our Texas South Yard and insurance proceeds of $9.4 million resulting from hurricane damage to our facilities, offset partially by the purchase of short-term investments of $9.2 million and capital expenditures of $2.4 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, net cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Cash used in financing activities primarily related to tax payments made on behalf of employees from vested stock withholdings.

Future Liquidity Outlook
As discussed in our Overview, we continue to focus on maintaining liquidity and securing meaningful new contractproject awards and backlog in the near-term and generating operating income and cash flow from operations in the longer-term. We have made significant progress in our efforts to increase our backlog and improve and preserve our liquidity, including cost reductions in costs (including reducing our workforce and reducing the cash compensation paid to our directors and the salaries of our executive officers) and the divestituresale of underutilized assets. In addition, at September 30, 2019, we continue to have $18.5 million of assets held for sale; however, we can provide no assurances that we will successfully sell these assets or that we will recover their carrying value. The primary uses of our liquidity for the remainder 2018of 2019 and the foreseeable future are to fund thefund:

The underutilization of our fabrication facilities inwithin our Fabrication Division, and to a lesser extent within our Shipyard and Fabrication DivisionsDivision, until we secure and/or begin to execute sufficient backlog to fully recover our overhead costs, workingcosts;
Capital expenditures (including potential enhancements to our Shipyard Division facilities and investments in our Fabrication Division facilities to win and execute potential offshore wind projects);
Accrued contract losses recorded at September 30, 2019;
Working capital requirements for our projects capital expenditures(including the potential additional projects for the U.S. Navy if the aforementioned options are exercised); and enhancements to our Shipyard facilities, the expansion of our EPC Division, corporate
Corporate administrative expenses and strategic initiatives. Future capital expenditures will be highly dependent upon the amount and timing of future new project awards. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $2.4 million and we

We anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $1.0$2.0 million to $3.0 million for the remainder of 2018.2019.

If industry conditions for offshorethe oil and gas industry do not improve, we are unable to increase our backlog, or we are unable to diversify our customer base, or we are unsuccessful in our strategic repositioning of the Company, we would take additional measures to reduce costs and preserve our cashliquidity until we are able to generate cash flows from operations.

We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2018,2019, and availability under our Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses, meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and satisfy any debt service obligations or other funding requirements, for at least twelve months from the date of this Report. Our evaluation of the sufficiency of our cash and liquidity is primarily based on our financial forecast for the remainder of 20182019 and 2019,2020, which is impacted by our existing backlog and estimates of future new project awards. We can provide no assurances that our financial forecast will be achieved or that we will have sufficient cash or availability under our Credit Agreement to meet planned operating expenses and other unforeseen cash requirements. Accordingly, we may be required to obtain new or additional bank financing,credit facilities, sell additional assets or conduct equity or debt offerings at a time when it is not beneficial to do so.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are subject to various routine legal proceedings in the normal conduct of our business primarily involving commercial disputes and claims, workers’ compensation claims, and claims for personal injury under general maritime laws of the U.S. and the Jones Act. While the outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the outcome of any such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 2, 2018, we filed a lawsuit against our customer to enforce our rights and remedies under the applicable construction contracts for two MPSVs. The lawsuit was filed in the Twenty-Second Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany, State of Louisiana and is styled Gulf Island Shipyards, LLC v. Hornbeck Offshore Services, LLC. The customer responded to our lawsuit by denying many of the allegations in the lawsuit and asserting a counterclaim against us. We filed a response to the counterclaim denying all the customer's claims. The customer subsequently filed a motion with the court seeking, among other things, to obtain possession of the vessels. A hearing on that motion was held on May 28, 2019, and the customer's request to obtain possession of the vessels was denied by the court. The customer recently filed an amendment to its counterclaim to add claims by the customer against our Surety for the contracts.  The customer also recently filed a second motion for summary judgment re-urging its previously denied request to obtain possession of the vessels.  A hearing on the second motion is currently scheduled for November 5, 2019.
