2013  Annual Report 

Oceaneering at a Glance

Oceaneering is a global oilfield provider of engineered services and products, primarily to
the offshore oil and gas industry, with a focus on deepwater applications.  Through the use
of its applied technology expertise, Oceaneering also serves the defense, entertainment,
and aerospace industries.  At year end, Oceaneering employed approximately 12,200 
people in 28 countries. 

Remotely Operated 
Vehicles

Subsea Products  

Subsea Projects   

Asset Integrity

Advanced Technologies

We manufacture a variety 
of specialty subsea oilfield
products. These encompass
production control umbilcals,
tooling and subsea work 
systems, installation and
workover control systems
(IWOCS), and subsea 
hardware.

While most of our 
subsea products are sold, we
also rent tooling and provide
IWOCS and subsea work 
systems as a service, including
hydrate remediation, well
stimulation, dredging, and
decommissioning.

We perform subsea oilfield
hardware installation and 
inspection, maintenance,
and repair services. 

We service deepwater

projects with dynamically
positioned vessels that have
our ROVs onboard, principally
in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico
(GOM) and offshore Angola.
We service shallow water
projects with our manned
diving operation, utilizing
dive support vessels and 
saturation diving systems,
primarily in the GOM.  

We provide asset integrity
management, corrosion 
management, inspection, and
non-destructive testing 
services principally to the oil
and gas, power generation,
and petrochemical industries.
These services are performed
on facilities onshore and 
offshore, both topside and
subsea. 

We provide engineering 
services and related 
manufacturing principally 
to the U.S. Department of 
Defense, NASA and its prime
contractors, and the 
commercial theme park 
industry.  The U.S. Navy is our
largest non-oilfield customer,
for whom we perform work
predominantly on surface
ships and submarines.

ROVs are submersible vehicles
teleoperated by technicians
from a control van, typically
onboard a floating drilling rig
or vessel.  They are piloted by
means of a microprocessor-
based control system through 
an armored electrical fiber-
optic umbilical. ROVs are the
key technology enabling the
performance of critical oilfield
tasks in deepwater.  These
tasks include drill support,
subsea hardware installation
and construction, pipeline 
inspections and surveys, and
subsea production facility 
operation and maintenance.

We own and operate
the largest fleet of oilfield
work class ROVs in the world.
At the end of 2013, we had
304 ROVs, about 35% of the
industry’s vehicles.  We were
the primary provider of these
vehicles to perform drill 
support service, with an 
estimated market share of
57%, almost three times that
of the second largest 
supplier.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Certain statements in this annual report, including, without limitation, statements regarding the following matters are 
forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 
1995: 

•   our business strategy; 
•   our plans for future operations; 
•  
•  
•   our expectations about 2014 earnings per share and segment operating results, and the factors underlying those 

industry conditions; 
seasonality; 

expectations, including our expectations about demand for our deepwater oilfield services and products as a result 
of the factors we specify in "Overview" and "Results of Operations" below; 
•   projections relating to floating rigs to be placed in service and subsea tree orders; 
•  

the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources to support our operations and internally generated growth 
initiatives; 

•   our projected capital expenditures for 2014; 
•   our plans to add ROVs to our fleet; 
•   our intentions relating to the subsea support vessel scheduled for delivery in 2016; 
•   our belief that our goodwill will not be impaired during 2014; 
•  

the adequacy of our accruals for uninsured expected liabilities from workers' compensation, maritime employer's 
liability and general liability claims; 

•   our belief that our total unrecognized tax benefits will not significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months; 
•   our anticipated tax rates and underlying assumptions; 
•   our expectations about the cash flows from our investment in Medusa Spar LLC, and the factors underlying those 

expectations; 

•   our expectations regarding shares repurchased under our share repurchase plan; 
•   our backlog; and 
•   our expectations regarding the effect of inflation in the near future. 

These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those we refer to 
under the headings "CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" and "Risk 
Factors" in Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.  Although we believe that the expectations 
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, because of the inherent limitations in the forecasting process, 
as well as the relatively volatile nature of the industries in which we operate, we can give no assurance that those 
expectations will prove to have been correct.  Accordingly, evaluation of our future prospects must be made with caution 
when relying on forward-looking information.

During 2013, we generated approximately 91% of our revenue, and 96% of our operating income before Unallocated 
Expenses, from services and products we provided to the oil and gas industry.  In 2013, our revenue increased by 18%, with 
the largest percentage increase occurring in our Subsea Projects segment, which increased 34%, primarily on increased 
deepwater vessel service activity. 

The $372 million consolidated net income we earned in 2013 was the highest in our history.  The $82 million increase from 
2012 net income was attributable to higher profit contributions from all of our operating segments: 

•   our Subsea Products segment, which had $60 million more operating income on $199 million more revenue; 
•   our ROV segment, which had $33 million more operating income on $128 million more revenue;   
•   our Subsea Projects segment, which had $30 million more operating income on $130 million more revenue; 
•   our Asset Integrity segment, which had $10 million more operating income on $47 million more revenue;  and 
•   our Advanced Technologies segment, which had $4 million more operating income on $1 million more revenue. 

In 2013, we invested in the following major capital projects: 

•  
•  

additions of and upgrades to our work-class ROVs;  and 
expansion in our Subsea Products segment, including the addition of more umbilical plant capabilities and an 
expansion of our rental and service tooling suite and work packages. 

We expect our 2014 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.90 to $4.10, as compared to $3.42 in 2013.  We 
anticipate continued global demand growth to support deepwater drilling, field development, and inspection, maintenance 
and repair activities.  Compared to 2013, in 2014 we are forecasting an increase in all of our oilfield operating business 
segments, including: 

•   ROVs on greater service demand to support drilling and vessel-based projects; 
•   Subsea Products on higher demand for all our major product lines;   
•   Subsea Projects on a growth in deepwater service activity;  and 
•   Asset Integrity on increased demand for our services.   

We use our ROVs to provide drilling support, vessel-based inspection, maintenance and repair, subsea hardware 
installation, construction, and pipeline inspection services to customers in the oil and gas industry.  The largest percentage 
of our ROVs has historically been used to provide drill support services.  Therefore, the number of floating drilling rigs on  

10

ROV utilization.

Demand for floating rigs is our primary driver of future growth prospects.  According to industry data published by IHS 
Petrodata, at the end of 2013, there were 314 floating drilling rigs in the world, with 282 of the rigs under contract.  Of the 
282 rigs under contract, 213 are contracted through 2014.  One hundred two additional floating rigs were on order, and 60 
of these 102 have been contracted long-term.  We estimate approximately 29 floating rigs will be placed in service during 
2014, and we have ROV contracts on 16 of those.  Competitors have the ROV contracts on three rigs, leaving 10 contract 
opportunities. 

In addition to floating rig demand, subsea tree completions are another leading indicator of the strength of the deepwater 
market and the primary demand driver for our Subsea Products lines.  According to industry data published by Quest 
Offshore Resources, Inc., the global market for subsea tree orders is expected to increase approximately 65% in the 2013-
2017 time period compared to the previous five years.  Additionally, Quest projects that subsea tree installations during the 
same time period will increase approximately 50% compared to the previous five-year period, and the installed subsea 
completion base will have a net increase of approximately 1,400 trees, or 35%. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

We have based the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations on our 
consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in 
the United States.  These principles require us to make various estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the 
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and 
expense during the periods we present.  We base our estimates on historical experience, available information and other 
assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates; 
however, our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The following 
discussion summarizes the accounting policies we believe (1) require our management's most difficult, subjective or 
complex judgments and (2) are the most critical to our reporting of results of operations and financial position. 

Revenue Recognition.  We recognize our revenue according to the type of contract involved.  On a daily basis, we 
recognize revenue under contracts that provide for specific time, material and equipment charges, which we bill 
periodically, ranging from weekly to monthly. 

We account for significant fixed-price contracts, which we enter into mainly in our Subsea Products segment, and 
occasionally in our Subsea Projects and Advanced Technologies segments, using the percentage-of-completion method.  In 
2013, we accounted for 12% of our revenue using the percentage-of-completion method.  In determining whether a contract 
should be accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, we consider whether: 

•  

the customer provides specifications for the construction of facilities or production of goods or for the provision of 
related services; 

•   we can reasonably estimate our progress towards completion and our costs; 
•  

the contract includes provisions as to the enforceable rights regarding the goods or services to be provided, 
consideration to be received and the manner and terms of payment; 
the customer can be expected to satisfy its obligations under the contract; and 

•  
•   we can be expected to perform our contractual obligations.

Under the percentage-of-completion method, we generally recognize estimated contract revenue based on costs incurred to 
date as a percentage of total estimated costs.  Changes in the expected cost of materials and labor, productivity, scheduling 
and other factors affect the total estimated costs.  Additionally, external factors, including weather or other factors outside 
of our control, may also affect the progress and estimated cost of a project's completion and, therefore, the timing of income 
and revenue recognition.  We routinely review estimates related to our contracts and reflect revisions to profitability in 
earnings immediately.  If a current estimate of total contract cost indicates an ultimate loss on a contract, we recognize the 
projected loss in full when we determine it.  In prior years, we have recorded adjustments to earnings as a result of revisions 
to contract estimates.  Although we are continually striving to accurately estimate our contract costs and profitability, 
adjustments to overall contract costs could be significant in future periods. 

We recognize the remainder of our revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or 
services have been rendered, price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. 

Long-lived Assets.  We evaluate our property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amounts may not be appropriate.  We base these evaluations on a comparison of the assets' 
carrying values to forecasts of undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets or quoted market prices.  If an 
impairment has occurred, we recognize a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset.  
Our expectations regarding future sales and undiscounted cash flows are highly subjective, cover extended periods of time 
and depend on a number of factors outside our control, such as changes in general economic conditions, laws and 
regulations.  Accordingly, these expectations could differ significantly from year to year. 

We charge the costs of repair and maintenance of property and equipment to operations as incurred, while we capitalize the 
costs of improvements that extend asset lives or functionality. 

Goodwill.  We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, with the acquisition price 
being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values at the date of acquisition.  In 
September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update regarding goodwill impairment 
testing.  Under the update, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of 
events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less 
than its carrying amount.  If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely 
than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, performing the two-step impairment test is 
unnecessary.  However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step 
impairment test.  This update was effective for us January 1, 2012, and earlier adoption was permitted.  We began applying 
this update in 2011.  The provisions of the update have not had a material effect on our financial position or results of 
operations.  Prior to 2011, we tested the goodwill attributable to each of our reporting units for impairment annually, or 
more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amounts may not have been 
appropriate.  We estimated fair value of the reporting units using both an income approach, which considers a discounted 
cash flow model, and a market approach.  For reporting units with significant goodwill, we do not believe our goodwill will 
be impaired during 2014. 

Loss Contingencies.  We self-insure for workers' compensation, maritime employer's liability and comprehensive general 
liability claims to levels we consider financially prudent, and beyond the self-insurance level of exposure we carry 
insurance, which can be by occurrence or in the aggregate.  We determine the level of accruals for claims exposure by 
reviewing our historical experience and current year claim activity.  We do not record accruals on a present-value basis.  We 
review larger claims with insurance adjusters and establish specific reserves for known liabilities.  We establish an 
additional reserve for incidents incurred but not reported to us for each year using our estimates and based on prior 
experience.  We believe we have established adequate accruals for uninsured expected liabilities arising from those 

12

 
obligations.  However, it is possible that future earnings could be affected by changes in our estimates relating to these 
matters. 

We are involved in various claims and actions against us, most of which are covered by insurance.  We believe that our 
ultimate liability, if any, that may result from those claims and actions will not materially affect our financial position, cash 
flows or results of operations. 

Income Taxes.  Our tax provisions are based on our expected taxable income, statutory rates and tax-planning opportunities 
available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.  Determination of taxable income in any jurisdiction 
requires the interpretation of the related tax laws.  We are at risk that a taxing authority's final determination of our tax 
liabilities may differ from our interpretation.  Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from year to year as our operations are 
conducted in different taxing jurisdictions, the amount of pre-tax income fluctuates and our estimates regarding the 
realizability of items such as foreign tax credits may change.  In 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recorded reductions of income 
tax expense of $0.7 million, $3.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, resulting from a combination of expiring statutes of 
limitations and the resolution of uncertain tax positions related to certain tax liabilities we recorded in prior years.  Current 
income tax expense represents either nonresident withholding taxes or the liabilities expected to be reflected on our income 
tax returns for the current year, while the net deferred income tax expense or benefit represents the change in the balance of 
deferred tax assets or liabilities as reported on our balance sheet. 

We establish valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of 
the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future.  We currently have no valuation allowances.  While we have 
considered estimated future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies in assessing the need 
for the valuation allowances, changes in these estimates and assumptions, as well as changes in tax laws, could require us to 
provide for valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets.  These provisions for valuation allowances would impact our 
income tax provision in the period in which such adjustments are identified and recorded. 

We recognize the benefit for a tax position if the benefit is more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the 
applicable taxing authority.  If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount 
that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. 

We account for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income 
taxes on our financial statements.  We increased our provision for income taxes in 2013 by $1.7 million for penalties and 
interest for uncertain tax positions, which brought our total liabilities for penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions to 
$3.3 million on our balance sheet at December 31, 2013.  Including associated foreign tax credits and penalties and interest, 
we have accrued a net total of $8.6 million in the caption "other long-term liabilities" on our balance sheet at December 31, 
2013 for unrecognized tax benefits.  All additions or reductions to those liabilities affect our effective income tax rate in the 
periods of change. 

We do not believe that the total of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months. 

For a summary of our major accounting policies and a discussion of recently adopted accounting standards, please see 
Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

We consider our liquidity and capital resources adequate to support our operations and growth initiatives.  At 
December 31, 2013, we had working capital of $706 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $91 million.  
Additionally, we had $300 million available through a revolving credit facility under a credit agreement (the "Credit 

Oceaneering International, Inc.   2013 Annual Report

13

 
 
 
 
Agreement"), which is scheduled to expire on January 6, 2017.  Our maximum outstanding borrowings under the Credit 
Agreement during 2013 were $120 million, and our total interest costs, including commitment fees, were $1.3 million.  

The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $300 million revolving credit facility.  Subject to certain conditions, the 
aggregate commitments under the facility may be increased by up to $200 million by obtaining additional commitments 
from existing and/or new lenders.  Borrowings under the facility may be used for working capital and general corporate 
purposes.  Revolving borrowings under the facility bear interest at an adjusted base rate or the eurodollar Rate (as defined 
in the agreement), at our option, plus an applicable margin.  Depending on our debt to capitalization ratio, the applicable 
margin varies (1) in the case of adjusted base rate advances, from 0.125% to 0.750% and (2) in the case of eurodollar 
advances, from 1.125% to 1.750%. 

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this nature, including, 
but not limited to, restrictions on the ability of each of our restricted subsidiaries to incur unsecured debt, as well as 
restrictions on our ability and the ability of each of our restricted subsidiaries to incur secured debt, grant liens, make 
certain investments, make distributions, merge or consolidate, sell assets, enter into transactions with affiliates and enter 
into certain restrictive agreements. We are also subject to an interest coverage ratio and a debt to capitalization ratio.  The 
Credit Agreement includes customary events and consequences of default. 

Our capital expenditures, including business acquisitions, for 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $394 million, $310 million and 
$527 million, respectively.  Our capital expenditures in 2013 included $226 million for upgrading and expanding our ROV 
fleet and $103 million in our Subsea Products segment, principally to increase the capabilities of our umbilical plants in the 
U.S. and Scotland and to expand our rental and service tooling hardware offerings.  Our capital expenditures in 2012 
included $198 million for expanding and upgrading our ROV fleet.  In 2012, we also invested $68 million in our Subsea 
Products business, largely to increase the capabilities of our umbilical plants in Brazil and Scotland and to expand our suite 
of subsea rental and service tooling.  Capital expenditures in 2011 included expenditures for:  the acquisition of AGR Field 
Operations Holdings AS and subsidiaries for $220 million, which are in our Asset Integrity and Subsea Projects segments;  
Norse Cutting and Abandonment AS for $50 million, which is in our Subsea Products segment;  additions and upgrades to 
our ROV fleet;  and conversion of the Ocean Patriot to a dynamically positioned saturation diving vessel and completion of 
its saturation diving system in our Subsea Projects segment. 

For 2014, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $450 million, exclusive of business acquisitions.  This 
estimate includes $225 million in our ROV segment for the addition of new vehicles and vehicle upgrades, $120 million for 
enhancing our Subsea Products capabilities, and $65 million in our Subsea Projects segment, primarily for construction 
progress payments on a new subsea support vessel scheduled for delivery in 2016. 

Our capital expenditures during 2013, 2012 and 2011 included $226 million, $198 million and $136 million, respectively, 
in our ROV segment, principally for additions and upgrades to our ROV fleet to expand the fleet and replace units we 
retired and for facilities infrastructure to support our growing ROV fleet size.  We plan to continue adding ROVs at levels 
we determine appropriate to meet market opportunities as they arise.  We added 26, 37 and 24 ROVs to our fleet and retired 
10, 15 and 16 units during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and transferred one to our Advanced Technologies segment in 
each of 2013 and 2011, resulting in a total of 304 work-class systems in the fleet at December 31, 2013. 

In 2012, we rechartered a deepwater vessel, the Ocean Intervention III, for two years, with extension options for up to three 
additional years, and which we have extended to January 2015.  We have also chartered an additional larger deepwater 
vessel, the Olympic Intervention IV, for an initial term of five years, which began in the third quarter of 2008, and which we 
have extended to July 2016.  We outfitted each of these larger deepwater vessels with two of our high-specification work-
class ROVs, and we have utilized these vessels to perform subsea hardware installation and inspection, maintenance and 
repair projects, and to conduct well intervention services in the ultra-deep waters of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.  In 2012, we 

14

 
 
 
 
 
moved the Ocean Intervention III to Angola and chartered the Bourbon Oceanteam 101 to work on a three-year field 
support contract.  The customer for this contract has the option for us to provide a third vessel and has options to extend the 
contract for two additional one-year periods.   In March 2013, we commenced a five-year charter for a Jones Act-compliant 
multi-service support vessel, which we have been renamed the Ocean Alliance, that we are using in the U.S. Gulf of 
Mexico.  We have outfitted the vessel with two of our high-specification work-class ROVs.  In December 2013, we 
commenced a three-year charter for the Normand Flower, a multi-service subsea marine support vessel.  We have made 
modifications to the vessel, including reconfiguration to accommodate two of our high-specification work-class ROVs.  We 
anticipate we will use the vessel in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to perform inspection, maintenance and repair projects and 
hardware installations.  We have options to extend the charter for up to three additional years. 

During the third quarter of 2013, we signed an agreement with a shipyard for the construction of a subsea support vessel.  
We expect delivery of that vessel by the end of the first quarter of 2016.  Our cash payments for the vessel will be spread 
over the construction period.  We intend for the vessel to be U.S.-flagged and documented with a coastwise endorsement by 
the U.S. Coast Guard.  It is expected to have an overall length of 353 feet, a Class 2 dynamic positioning system, 
accommodations for 110 personnel, a helideck, a 250 ton active heave-compensated crane, and a working moonpool.  We 
expect to outfit the vessel with two of our high specification work-class ROVs.  The vessel will also be equipped with a 
satellite communications system capable of transmitting streaming video for real-time work observation by shore 
personnel.  We anticipate the vessel will be used to augment our ability to provide subsea intervention services in the ultra-
deep waters of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.  These services are required to perform inspection, maintenance, and repair 
projects and hardware installations. 

Our principal source of cash from operating activities is our net income, adjusted for the non-cash expenses of depreciation 
and amortization, deferred income taxes and noncash compensation under our restricted stock plans.  Our $529 million, 
$439 million and $289 million of cash provided from operating activities in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were 
affected by cash increases/(decreases) of $(102) million, $(94) million and $(100) million, respectively, of changes in 
accounts receivable, $(111) million, $(76) million and $(11) million , respectively, of changes in inventory and 
$128 million, $87 million and $9 million, respectively, in changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  In 2013, the 
increases in accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflect the increase in our revenue in 2013.  
The increase in inventory in 2013 is consistent with the increase in our backlog over 2012.  In 2012, the increase in 
accounts receivable was largely attributable to increased revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth 
quarter of 2011.  The increase in inventory in 2012 was principally in our Subsea Products and ROV segments:  Subsea 
Products in preparation for production related to the higher backlog levels at December 31, 2012 as compared to those at 
December 31, 2011;  and ROV in anticipation of adding additional units.  In 2012, the changes in accounts payable and 
accrued expenses related to higher accruals for payroll and project costs and an increase in progress payments received 
from customers.  In 2011, the increase in accounts receivable was largely attributable to increased revenue in the fourth 
quarter of 2011 compared to the corresponding quarter of 2010, and the mix of revenue with a higher percentage of our 
2011 revenue coming from our international operations.   

In 2013, we used a net of $378 million in investing activities, with $394 million used to make the capital expenditures and 
business acquisitions described above.  In 2012, we used $306 million in investing activities, with $310 million used to 
make the capital expenditures and business acquisitions described above.  In 2011, we used $483 million in investing 
activities, with $527 million used to make the capital expenditures and business acquisitions described above, while we 
received $44 million from the sales of assets, primarily our offshore production system, the Ocean Legend. 

In 2013, we used $180 million in financing activities, principally for repayment against our revolving credit facility of 
$94 million and the payment of cash dividends of $91 million.  In 2012, we used $118 million in financing activities, 
principally for the payment of cash dividends of $75 million, repayment against our revolving credit facility of $26 million 
and common stock share repurchases of $19 million.  In 2011, we generated $55 million in financing activities.  We 

Oceaneering International, Inc.   2013 Annual Report

15

 
 
borrowed $120 million under our revolving credit facility, and we used $49 million for the payment of cash dividends and 
$17 million for common stock share repurchases. 

In February 2010, our Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase up to 12,000,000 shares of our common stock.  The 
timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined by our management.  We expect that any shares repurchased 
under the plan will be held as treasury stock for future use.  The plan does not obligate us to repurchase any particular 
number of shares.  Through December 31, 2013, we repurchased 3,100,000 shares at a cost of $86 million under the plan.  
As of December 31, 2013, we retained 2,636,644 shares we had repurchased.  We expect that shares we reissue will be 
primarily in connection with our stock-based compensation plans. 

Because of our significant foreign operations, we are exposed to currency fluctuations and exchange rate risks.  We 
generally minimize these risks primarily through matching, to the extent possible, revenue and expense in the various 
currencies in which we operate.  Cumulative translation adjustments as of December 31, 2013 relate primarily to our net 
investments in, including long-term loans to, our foreign subsidiaries.  A stronger U.S. dollar against the U.K. pound 
sterling and the Norwegian kroner would result in lower operating income.  See "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures 
About Market Risk" below.

In response to continued increasing demand to support deepwater drilling and vessel-based inspection, maintenance and 
repair ("IMR") and installation work, we have continued to build new ROVs.  These new vehicles are designed for use 
around the world in water depths of 10,000 feet or more.  We added 26, 37 and 24 ROVs in 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively, while retiring 41 units over the three-year period and transferring two to our Advanced Technologies segment 
over that period.  We have grown our ROV fleet size to 304 at December 31, 2013 from 289 at December 31, 2012 and 267 
at December 31, 2011.  We plan to continue adding ROVs at levels we determine appropriate to meet market opportunities. 

For 2013, our ROV revenue and operating income improved over 2012 from: 

•  

 higher demand:   

in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico; 

(cid:2)(cid:1) 
(cid:2)(cid:1)  offshore Africa; 
(cid:2)(cid:1)  offshore India; 
(cid:2)(cid:1)  offshore Canada; and 
(cid:2)(cid:1)  offshore Australia; and 

•  

expansion of our fleet to meet the increased demand. 

In 2013, our ROV general and administrative expenses included a charge of $3.3 million to record an allowance for 
doubtful accounts related to a customer in Brazil that filed for restructuring under Brazilian bankruptcy law. 

For 2012, our ROV revenue and operating income improved over 2011 from (1) higher demand, particularly offshore 
Africa and in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for the provision of drill support and vessel-based services, and (2) the expansion of 
our fleet to meet the increased demand. 

We anticipate ROV operating income to increase in 2014 as a result of an increase in days on hire, with an operating margin 
in the range of 29% to 30%.  We anticipate adding 30 to 35 vehicles in 2014, which should add to our days available and 
days on hire over 2013.  We currently expect to retire, on average, 4% to 5% of our fleet on an annual basis. 

Subsea Products revenue, operating income and margin were higher in 2013 than in 2012 from increased demand across 
our major product lines, principally for subsea hardware used in offshore field developments and for clamp connector 
systems.  Subsea Products revenue and operating income for 2012 increased over 2011 from higher demand for tooling to 
support deepwater drilling operations and IMR projects.  Tooling to support drilling includes ROV accumulator skids to 
perform tests on blowout preventers ("BOPs"), BOP panels and well-containment spill-response hardware.  Tooling to 
support IMR projects featured use of our flowline remediation system to eliminate hydrates in large diameter or long offset 
flowlines, and our acid injection system to perform well stimulations.  Our margin was higher as umbilical sales, which 
typically have a lower margin than the rest of our Subsea Products sales, represented a smaller percentage of total segment 
revenue. 

We anticipate our Subsea Products segment operating income in 2014 to be higher than in 2013, as we expect higher 
demand for all our major product lines.  We expect our margin to be in the range of 19% to 21%, which would be lower 
than that of 2013, due to product mix.  Our Subsea Products backlog was $906 million at December 31, 2013, 
approximately 33% higher than it was at December 31, 2012. 

Our 2013 revenue and operating income for Subsea Projects was higher than in 2012 on increased deepwater vessel service 
activity.  Our 2012 revenue and operating income for Subsea Projects was higher than in 2011 on an international expansion 
of our field service work and higher demand in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.  In 2011, we recorded a gain of $19.6 million on 
the sale of the Ocean Legend, a mobile offshore production system. 

18

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We anticipate our 2014 operating income for Subsea Projects to be higher than in 2013 on growth in deepwater service 
activity.  We expect our 2014 Subsea Projects operating margin to improve slightly over 2013. 

Our Asset Integrity segment revenue and operating income were higher in 2013 over 2012 due to high demand in most of 
our geographic areas, particularly Africa and Australia.  Our Asset Integrity segment revenue and operating income were 
higher in 2012 as compared to 2011 on higher service sales in most of the geographic areas we serve, and particularly in 
Norway due to our acquisition in December 2011.  We anticipate our 2014 operating income for Asset Integrity to be higher 
than in 2013 on increased service sales and a slight improvement in operating margin.

Our Advanced Technologies operating income in 2013 was higher than that of 2012 due to increases in work and 
operational efficiency on theme park projects and an increase in vessel maintenance and repair work for the U.S. Navy.   
Our Advanced Technologies operating income in 2012 was higher than that of 2011 on higher engineering and vessel 
maintenance work for the U.S. Navy and higher levels of theme park projects. We anticipate our Advanced Technologies 
2014 operating income to approximate that of 2013. 

Unallocated Expenses.  Our unallocated expenses, i.e., those not associated with a specific business segment, within gross 
margin consist of expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including restricted stock and 
bonuses, as well as other general expenses.  Our unallocated expenses within operating income consist of those within gross 
margin plus general and administrative expenses related to corporate functions.

Interest expense decreased in 2013 compared to 2012 on decreasing debt levels as we paid down our debt to zero during 
2013.   Interest expense increased in 2012 compared to 2011 from higher debt levels after we increased our borrowings to 
fund an acquisition in December 2011.  We did not capitalize any interest in 2013, 2012 or 2011. 

We record results from our 50% investment in Medusa Spar LLC using the equity method.  Medusa Spar LLC owns 75% 
of a production spar in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and earns its revenue from fees charged on production processed through 
the facility.  Throughput declined in each of 2013 and 2012 from the immediately preceding year due to normal well 
production decline. 

We expect Medusa Spar LLC revenue and our equity share of its earnings will decline in 2014 due to normal well 
production decline.  Medusa Spar LLC's revenue could be increased if the operator of the producing wells receives 
regulatory approval to start producing from other zones in the existing wells, which are anticipated to have higher flow 
rates than the currently-producing zones, or is able to connect more wells to the spar.   

Included in other income (expenses), net are foreign currency transaction gains/(losses) of $0.1 million, $(5.4) million and 
$(0.4) million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  

Our effective tax rate, including foreign, state and local taxes, was 31.5%, 31.5%, and 30.3% for 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively, which included a combination of expiring statutes of limitations and the resolution of uncertain tax positions 
of $0.7 million, $3.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to certain liabilities for uncertain tax positions we 
recorded in prior years.  The primary difference between our 2012 and 2011 effective tax rates and the U.S. federal 
statutory rate of 35% reflects our intent to indefinitely reinvest in certain of our international operations.  Therefore, we are 
no longer providing for U.S. taxes on a portion of our foreign earnings.  The effective tax rate of 30.3% in our financial 
statements for 2011 is a result of our effective rate of 31.5% adjusted by $4.9 million of additional tax benefits, primarily 
attributable to amending prior years' U.S. federal income tax returns to reflect a broader interpretation of our pre-tax income 
eligible for certain deductions allowable for oil and gas construction activities, and tax effecting the $19.6 million gain on 
the sale of the Ocean Legend at the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%.  We anticipate our effective tax rate in 2014 will be 
approximately 31.3%.

At December 31, 2013, we had outstanding purchase order commitments totaling $479 million, including approximately 
$100 million for the construction of a new subsea support vessel scheduled for delivery in 2016, $49 million for ROV 
launch and recovery system equipment and $29 million for specialized steel tubes to be used in our manufacturing of steel 
tube umbilicals.  We have ordered the specialized steel tubes in advance to meet expected sales commitments.  The winches 
have been ordered for new ROVs and for anticipated replacements due to normal wear and tear.  Should we decide not to 
accept delivery of the steel tubes, we would incur cancellation charges of at least 10% of the amount canceled. 

In 2001, we entered into an agreement with our Chairman of the Board of Directors (the "Chairman") who was also then 
our Chief Executive Officer.  That agreement was amended in 2006 and in 2008.  Pursuant to the amended agreement, the 
Chairman relinquished his position as Chief Executive Officer in May 2006 and began his post-employment service period 
on December 31, 2006, which continued through August 15, 2011, during which service period the Chairman, acting as an 
independent contractor, agreed to serve as nonexecutive Chairman of our Board of Directors.  The agreement provides the 
Chairman with post-employment benefits for ten years following August 15, 2011.  The agreement also provides for 
medical coverage on an after-tax basis to the Chairman, his spouse and children for their lives.  We recognized the net 
present value of the post-employment benefits over the expected service period.  Our total accrued liabilities, current and 
long-term, under this post-employment benefit were $6.3 million and $6.8 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. 

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, 
using historical U.S. dollar accounting, or historical cost.  Statements based on historical cost, however, do not adequately 
reflect the cumulative effect of increasing costs and changes in the purchasing power of the dollar, especially during times 
of significant and continued inflation. 

In order to minimize the negative impact of inflation on our operations, we attempt to cover the increased cost of 
anticipated changes in labor, material and service costs, either through an estimate of those changes, which we reflect in the 
original price, or through price escalation clauses in our contracts.  Inflation has not had a material effect on our revenue or 
income from operations in the past three years, and no such effect is expected in the near future.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

We are currently exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions we have entered into in the normal course of 
business.  These risks relate to interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  We do not believe these 
risks are material.  We have not entered into any market risk sensitive instruments for speculative or trading purposes.  We 
currently have no outstanding hedges or similar instruments.  We typically manage our exposure to interest rate changes 
through the use of a combination of fixed- and floating-rate debt.  See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements included in this report for a description of our revolving credit facility and interest rates on our borrowings.  We 
believe significant interest rate changes would not have a material near-term impact on our future earnings or cash flows. 

Because we operate in various oil and gas exploration and production regions in the world, we conduct a portion of our 
business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency for several of our international operations is the 
applicable local currency.  A stronger U.S. dollar against the U.K. pound sterling and the Norwegian kroner would result in 
lower operating income.  We manage our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates principally through arranging 
compensation in U.S. dollars or freely convertible currency and, to the extent possible, by limiting compensation received 
in other currencies to amounts necessary to meet obligations denominated in those currencies.  We use the exchange rates in 
effect as of the balance sheet date to translate assets and liabilities as to which the functional currency is the local currency, 
resulting in translation adjustments that we reflect as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the shareholders' 
equity section of our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  We recorded adjustments of $(71.3) million, $44.8 million and 
$(18.4) million to our equity accounts in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Negative adjustments reflect the net impact of 
the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against various foreign currencies for locations where the functional currency is not the 
U.S. dollar.  Conversely, positive adjustments reflect the effect of a weakening dollar. 

We recorded foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of $0.1 million, $(5.4) million and $(0.4) million that are included 
in Other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Income Statements in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

Controls and Procedures 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), 
we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal 
executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term 
is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  
Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure 
controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013 to provide reasonable assurance that information required 
to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported 
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.   

Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended 
December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over 
financial reporting. 

22

 
 
 
 
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as that 
term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Our internal control over financial reporting is a 
process designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the 
preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America.  We developed our internal control over financial reporting through a process in 
which our management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of various controls and procedures, which, 
by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives.  You should note that the design of 
any system of controls is based in part on various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure 
you that any system of controls will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of 
how remote.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect 
misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls 
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures 
may deteriorate. 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive, financial and 
accounting officers, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting 
based on the framework in "Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992)" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  This evaluation included a review of the documentation surrounding our 
financial reporting controls, an evaluation of the design effectiveness of these controls, testing of the operating effectiveness 
of these controls and an evaluation of our overall control environment.  Based on that evaluation, our management has 
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013. 

Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our financial statements, has audited our 
internal control over financial reporting, as stated in their report that follows. 

Oceaneering International, Inc.   2013 Annual Report

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Oceaneering International, Inc. 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Oceaneering International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the 
"Company") as of December 31, 2013,  based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the "COSO criteria"). The 
Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its 
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's 
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal 
control over financial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective 
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an 
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and 
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other 
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our 
opinion. 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and 
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the 
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded 
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and 
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and 
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2013, based on the COSO criteria. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated 
statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated February 20, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Oceaneering International, Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oceaneering International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the 
"Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive 
income, cash flows, and shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.  These 
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its 
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. 
generally accepted accounting principles. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in 
Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (1992 framework) and our report dated February 20, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1.  SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Principles of Consolidation.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oceaneering International, Inc. 
and our 50% or more owned and controlled subsidiaries.  We also consolidate entities that are determined to be variable 
interest entities if we determine that we are the primary beneficiary; otherwise, we account for those entities using the 
equity method of accounting.  We use the equity method to account for our investments in unconsolidated affiliated 
companies of which we own an equity interest of between 20% and 50% and as to which we have significant influence, but 
not control, over operations.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 

Repurchase Plan.  In February 2010, our Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase up to 12,000,000 shares of our 
common stock.  Through December 31, 2013 under this plan, we repurchased 3,100,000 shares of our common stock for 
$86 million. 

Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in 
the United States requires that our management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts 
of revenue and expense during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Reclassifications. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid investments with 
original maturities of three months or less from the date of the investment. 

Accounts Receivable – Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. We determine the need for allowances for doubtful accounts 
using the specific identification method.  We do not generally require collateral from our customers. 

Inventory. Inventory is valued at lower of cost or market.  We determine cost using the weighted-average method. 

Property and Equipment. We provide for depreciation of property and equipment on the straight-line method over estimated 
useful lives of eight years for ROVs, three to 20 years for marine services equipment (such as vessels and diving 
equipment), and three to 25 years for buildings, improvements and other equipment. 

We charge the costs of repair and maintenance of property and equipment to operations as incurred, while we capitalize the 
costs of improvements that extend asset lives or functionality. 

We capitalize interest on assets where the construction period is anticipated to be more than three months.  We did not 
capitalize any interest in 2013, 2012 or 2011.  We do not allocate general administrative costs to capital projects.  Upon the 
disposition of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved and any 
resulting gain or loss is included as an adjustment to cost of services and products. 

Our management periodically, and upon the occurrence of a triggering event, reviews the realizability of long-lived assets, 
excluding goodwill, which are held and used by us, to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  For long-lived assets to be held and used, we base our 
evaluation on impairment indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical 
or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present.  If such 
impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be 
recoverable, we determine whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flows analysis of 
the asset at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist.  If an impairment has occurred, we recognize a loss for 
the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset.  For assets held for sale or disposal, the fair value

31

 
 
of the asset is measured using fair market value less cost to sell.  Assets are classified as held-for-sale when we have a plan 
for disposal of certain assets and those assets meet the held for sale criteria. 

 Business Acquisitions.  We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, with the 
acquisition price being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of 
acquisition. 

The following table presents the cost (net of cash acquired) and the amounts of associated goodwill, other intangible assets, 
and other assets net of liabilities assumed for the business acquisitions we made in 2011:

In March 2011, we purchased Norse Cutting and Abandonment AS ("NCA"), a Norwegian oilfield technology company 
that specializes in providing subsea tooling services used in the plugging, abandonment and decommissioning of offshore 
oil and gas production platforms and subsea wellheads.  In addition, NCA performs specialized maintenance and repair 
services on production platforms in the North Sea.  NCA's business is split approximately evenly between the North Sea 
and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and the business is in our Subsea Products segment.  The acquisition included a small, non-
strategic business operation we intended to sell when we purchased NCA.  During 2011, we sold that operation, making the 
net acquisition price of the retained NCA operations $50 million.  We have accounted for this net acquisition by allocating 
the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of 
acquisition.  Our goodwill, all nondeductible for income tax purposes, associated with the acquisition was $20 million, and 
other intangible assets were $14 million.  The results of operations of NCA are included in our consolidated statements of 
income from the date of acquisition.   

In December 2011, we purchased AGR Field Operations Holdings AS and subsidiaries (collectively, "AGR FO"), which we 
believe is Norway's largest asset integrity management service provider on offshore production platforms, onshore 
facilities, and pipelines.  AGR FO employs subsea technology to perform internal and external inspections of subsea 
hardware.  AGR FO also has a substantial operating presence in Australia, where it operates and maintains offshore and 
onshore oil and gas production facilities for customers and provides subsea engineering services and operates an offshore 
logistics supply base.  We incurred, and charged to expense, approximately $2 million of transaction costs associated with 
this acquisition. 

We have accounted for this acquisition by allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based 
on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  Our goodwill, all nondeductible for income tax purposes, 
associated with the acquisition was $165 million, and other intangible assets were $41 million.  The results of operations of 
AGR FO are included in our consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition.  Generally, AGR FO's 
Norwegian assets and operations are in our Asset Integrity segment and its Australian assets and operations are in our 
Subsea Projects segment. 

We also made several smaller acquisitions during the periods presented, none of which were material. 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets.   In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update 
regarding goodwill impairment testing.  Under the update, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to 

32

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the 
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an 
entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, performing the 
two-step impairment test is unnecessary.  However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first 
step of the two-step impairment test.  We began applying this update in 2011.  We qualitatively tested the goodwill 
attributable to each of our reporting units for impairment as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and concluded that there was 
no impairment.  The only changes in our reporting units' goodwill during the periods presented are from business 
acquisitions, as discussed above, and currency exchange rate changes.  For more information regarding goodwill by 
business segment, see Note 7. 

Intangible assets, primarily acquired in connection with business combinations, include trade names, intellectual property 
and customer relationships and are being amortized with a weighted average remaining life of approximately 12 years. 

Revenue Recognition.  We recognize our revenue according to the type of contract involved.  On a daily basis, we recognize 
revenue under contracts that provide for specific time, material and equipment charges, which we bill periodically, ranging 
from weekly to monthly. 

We account for significant fixed-price contracts, which we enter into mainly in our Subsea Products segment, and to a 
lesser extent in our Subsea Projects and Advanced Technologies segments, using the percentage-of-completion method.  In 
2013, we accounted for 12% of our revenue using the percentage-of-completion method.  In determining whether a contract 
should be accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, we consider whether: 

•  

the customer provides specifications for the construction of facilities or production of goods or for the provision of 
related services; 

•   we can reasonably estimate our progress towards completion and our costs; 
•  

the contract includes provisions as to the enforceable rights regarding the goods or services to be provided, 
consideration to be received and the manner and terms of payment; 
the customer can be expected to satisfy its obligations under the contract; and 

•  
•   we can be expected to perform our contractual obligations. 

Under the percentage-of-completion method, we generally recognize estimated contract revenue based on costs incurred to 
date as a percentage of total estimated costs.  Changes in the expected cost of materials and labor, productivity, scheduling 
and other factors affect the total estimated costs.  Additionally, external factors, including weather or other factors outside 
of our control, also affect the progress and estimated cost of a project's completion and, therefore, the timing of income and 
revenue recognition.  We routinely review estimates related to our contracts and reflect revisions to profitability in earnings 
immediately.  If a current estimate of total contract cost indicates an ultimate loss on a contract, we recognize the projected 
loss in full when we determine it.  Although we are continually striving to accurately estimate our contract costs and 
profitability, adjustments to overall contract costs could be significant in future periods. 

We recognize the remainder of our revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or 
services have been rendered, price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. 

Revenue in Excess of Amounts Billed is classified as accounts receivable and relates to recoverable costs and accrued 
profits on contracts in progress.  Billings in Excess of Revenue Recognized on uncompleted contracts are classified in 
accrued liabilities.

Stock-Based Compensation.  We recognize all share-based payments to directors, officers and employees over their vesting 
periods in the income statement based on their estimated fair values.  For more information on our employee benefit plans, 
see Note 8. 

Income Taxes.  We provide income taxes at appropriate tax rates in accordance with our interpretation of the respective tax 
laws and regulations after review and consultation with our internal tax department, tax advisors and, in some cases, legal 
counsel in various jurisdictions.  We provide for deferred income taxes for differences between carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes.  We provide for deferred U.S. income taxes on foreign income only 
to the extent such income is not to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign entities.  We provide a valuation allowance against 
deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. 

We recognize the benefit for a tax position if the benefit is more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the 
applicable taxing authority.  If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount 
that we believe is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  We account for any applicable 
interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income taxes on our financial 
statements. 

Foreign Currency Translation.  The functional currency for several of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local 
currency.  Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated 
into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period.  Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are 
translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and the resulting translation 
adjustments are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders' equity.  All 
foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized currently in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  We 
recorded $0.1 million, $(5.4) million and $(0.4) million of foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in 2013, 2012 and 
2011, respectively, and those amounts are included as a component of Other income (expense), net.  

Earnings Per Share.  For each of the years 2013, 2012 and 2011, the only difference between our annual calculated 
weighted average basic and diluted number of shares outstanding is the effect of outstanding restricted stock units.

Financial Instruments.  We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and 
measure those instruments at fair value.  Subsequent changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings or other 
comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative instrument is designated as part of a hedge relationship and, if it 
is, the type of hedge relationship.  During the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, we had no derivative 
instruments in effect. 

New Accounting Standard.  In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update to 
improve the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The update amends the 
presentation of changes in accumulated other comprehensive income and requires an entity to report the change of each 
component of other comprehensive income, including amounts reclassified out of accumulated comprehensive income into 
operating income, either on the face of the income statement or as a separate disclosure in the notes. We adopted this update 
on January 1, 2013, as required.  The provisions of this update have not had a material effect on our financial position or 
results of operations.

In 2003, we purchased a 50% equity interest in Medusa Spar LLC for $43.7 million.  Medusa Spar LLC owns a 75% 
interest in a production spar platform in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.  Medusa Spar LLC's revenue is derived from processing 
oil and gas production for a fee based on the volumes processed through the platform (throughput).  We account for our 
investment in Medusa Spar LLC under the equity method of accounting.  Our 50% share of the underlying equity of the net 
assets of Medusa Spar LLC is approximately equal to its carrying value.

We consider $431 million of unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested.  It is not practical 
for us to compute the amount of additional U.S. tax that would be due on this amount.  We have provided deferred income 
taxes on the foreign earnings we expect to repatriate.

applicable taxing authority.  If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount 
that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. 

We account for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income 
taxes on our financial statements.  We increased/(decreased) income tax expense by $1.7 million, $(2.7) million and  
$0.4 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions, which brought our 
total liabilities for penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions to $3.3 million and $1.7 million on our balance sheets at 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Including associated foreign tax credits and penalties and interest, we have 
accrued a net total of $8.6 million in the caption "other long-term liabilities" on our balance sheet for unrecognized tax 
benefits at December 31, 2013.  All additions or reductions to those liabilities affect our effective income tax rate in the 
periods of change. 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, not including associated foreign 
tax credits and penalties and interest, is as follows:

We do not believe that the total of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months. 

We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for Oceaneering International, Inc. and our domestic subsidiaries.  We 
conduct our international operations in a number of locations that have varying laws and regulations with regard to income 
and other taxes, some of which are subject to interpretation.  Our management believes that adequate provisions have been 
made for all taxes that will ultimately be payable, although final determination of tax liabilities may differ from our 
estimates. 

Our tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities in multiple jurisdictions.  These audits often take years to complete 
and settle.  The following lists the earliest tax years open to examination by tax authorities where we have significant 
operations:

As of December 31, 2013, we had a $300 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks under an agreement (the 
"Credit Agreement") that is scheduled to expire on January 6, 2017.  Subject to certain conditions, the aggregate 
commitments under the facility may be increased by up to $200 million by obtaining additional commitments from existing 
and/or new lenders.   Borrowings under the facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.  We 
pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.35% on the unused portion of the facility, depending on our debt-to-
capitalization ratio.  The commitment fees are included as interest expense in our consolidated financial statements. 
Revolving borrowings under the facility bear interest at an adjusted base rate or the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the 
agreement), at our option, plus an applicable margin.  Depending on our debt to capitalization ratio, the applicable margin 
varies (1) in the case of adjusted base rate advances, from 0.125% to 0.750% and (2) in the case of eurodollar advances, 
from 1.125% to 1.750%.  The adjusted base rate is the greater of (1) the per annum rate established by the administrative 
agent as its prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1%.  At 
December 31, 2013, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $300 million available for 
borrowing.

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this nature, including, 
but not limited to, restrictions on the ability of each of our restricted subsidiaries to incur unsecured debt, as well as 
restrictions on our ability and the ability of each of our restricted subsidiaries to incur secured debt, grant liens, make 
certain investments, make distributions, merge or consolidate, sell assets, enter into transactions with affiliates and enter 
into certain restrictive agreements. We are also subject to an interest coverage ratio and a debt to capitalization ratio. The 
Credit Agreement includes customary events and consequences of default. 

We made cash interest payments of $2.1 million, $4.3 million and $1.1 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Lease Commitments 

At December 31, 2013, we occupied several facilities under noncancellable operating leases expiring at various dates 
through 2025.  Future minimum rentals under all of our operating leases, including vessel rentals, are as follows:

Rental expense, which includes hire of vessels, specialized equipment and real estate rental, was approximately 
$191 million, $107 million and $73 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

Insurance 

We self-insure for workers' compensation, maritime employer's liability and comprehensive general liability claims to 
levels we consider financially prudent, and beyond the self-insurance level of exposure, we carry insurance, which can be 
by occurrence or in the aggregate.  We determine the level of accruals for claims exposure by reviewing our historical 
experience and current year claim activity.  We do not record accruals on a present-value basis.  We review larger claims 
with insurance adjusters and establish specific reserves for known liabilities.  We establish an additional reserve for 
incidents incurred but not reported to us for each year using our estimates and based on prior experience.  We believe we 
have established adequate accruals for uninsured expected liabilities arising from those obligations.  However, it is possible 
that future earnings could be affected by changes in our estimates relating to these matters. 

Litigation 

Various actions and claims are pending against us, most of which are covered by insurance.  Although we cannot predict the 
ultimate outcome of these matters, we believe the ultimate liability, if any, that may result from these actions and claims 
will not materially affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial position.

Letters of Credit 

We had $45 million and $42 million in letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as 
guarantees in force for self-insurance requirements and various performance and bid bonds, which are usually for the 
duration of the applicable contract.  

Financial Instruments and Risk Concentration 

In the normal course of business, we manage risks associated with foreign exchange rates and interest rates through a 
variety of strategies, including the use of hedging transactions.  As a matter of policy, we do not use derivative instruments 
unless there is an underlying exposure. 

Other financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash and cash 
equivalents and accounts receivable.  The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value due to the 
short maturity of those instruments.  Accounts receivable are generated from a broad group of customers, primarily from 
within the energy industry, which is our major source of revenue.  Due to their short-term nature, carrying values of our 
accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair market value.  The carrying values of borrowings under the 
Credit Agreement approximate their fair value because the short-term durations of the associated interest rate periods reflect 
market changes to interest rates.  Our borrowings under the Credit Agreement are classified as Level 2 in the fair value 
hierarchy (inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable or can be 
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities). 

In 2013, we experienced delays in payment from OGX Petróleo e Gás S.A. ("OGX"), which is a customer in Brazil. The 
parent company of OGX missed making an interest payment on its bonds and, on October 30, 2013, OGX and its parent 
filed for a restructuring process under Brazilian bankruptcy law, which grants the filer judicial protection from creditors 
while a restructuring plan is developed for approval. As of December 31, 2013, we had accounts receivable due from OGX 
of approximately $4.1 million, and in the fourth quarter of 2013 we recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of 
$3.3 million, which was charged as a selling, general and administrative expense in our ROV segment.  At this time, we 
cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this situation and whether or to what extent we will collect our accounts receivable 
from OGX. 

7.  OPERATIONS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA 

Business Segment Information 

We are a global oilfield provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore oil and gas industry, with a 
focus on deepwater applications.  Through the use of our applied technology expertise, we also serve the defense and 
aerospace industries.  Our Oilfield business consists of Remotely Operated Vehicles ("ROVs"), Subsea Products, Subsea 
Projects and Asset Integrity.  Our ROV segment provides submersible vehicles operated from the surface to support 
offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production activities.  Our Subsea Products segment supplies a variety of 
specialty subsea hardware.  Our Subsea Projects segment provides multiservice vessels, oilfield diving and support vessel 
operations, which are used principally in inspection, maintenance and repair and installation activities, and a mobile 
offshore production system, through a 50% interest in an entity that holds a 75% interest in the system.  With the 
acquisition we made in December 2011, we also operate and maintain offshore and onshore oil and gas production 
facilities, provide subsea engineering services, and operate an offshore logistics supply base in Australia.  Our Asset 
Integrity segment provides asset integrity management and assessment services and nondestructive testing and inspection.  
Our Advanced Technologies business provides project management, engineering services and equipment for applications in 
non-oilfield markets.  Unallocated Expenses are those not associated with a specific business segment.  These consist of 

42

 
 
 
 
 
expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including restricted stock and bonuses, as well as other 
general expenses, including corporate administrative expenses. 

There are no differences in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss in the year 
ended December 31, 2013 from those used in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 
and 2011.

We determine income from operations for each business segment before interest income or expense, other income 
(expense) and provision for income taxes.  We do not consider an allocation of these items to be practical. 

During 2011, we sold the Ocean Legend, a mobile offshore production system.  The sale resulted in a gain of $19.6 million, 
which we recognized as a reduction of the costs of services and products in our Subsea Projects segment.  

During 2013 and 2012, revenue from one customer, BP plc and subsidiaries in our oilfield business segments, accounted for 
18% and 13% of our total consolidated revenue, respectively.  No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our 
consolidated revenue during 2011.

8.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 

Retirement Investment Plans 

We have several employee retirement investment plans that, taken together, cover most of our full time employees.  The 
Oceaneering Retirement Investment Plan is a 401(k) plan in which U.S. employees may participate by deferring a portion 
of their gross monthly salary and directing us to contribute the deferred amount to the plan.  We match a portion of the 
employees' deferred compensation.  Our contributions to the 401(k) plan were $18.4 million, $16.0 million and 
$14.5 million for the plan years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  In 2013, we amended the plan to 
give plan participants the option to be paid directly, or through the plan within 90 days of the close of the plan year, for 
dividends of Oceaneering International, Inc. stock that the plan participants held within the plan.  This change allowed us to 
realize a tax benefit from tax deductions in excess of financial statement expense of $0.9 million in 2013. 

We also make matching contributions to other foreign employee savings plans similar in nature to a 401(k) plan.  In 2013, 
2012 and 2011, these contributions, principally related to plans associated with U.K. and Norwegian subsidiaries, were 
$17.4 million, $11.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively. 

The Oceaneering International, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan covers selected key management employees 
and executives, as approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee").  
Under this plan, we accrue an amount determined as a percentage of the participant's gross monthly salary and the amounts 
accrued are treated as if they are invested in one or more investment vehicles pursuant to this plan.  Expenses related to this 
plan during 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $3.4 million, $2.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively. 

We have defined benefit plans covering some of our employees in the U.K. and Norway.  There are no further benefits 
accruing under the U.K. plan, and the Norway plan is closed to new participants.  The projected benefit obligations for both 
plans were $30 million and $29 million, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the fair values of the plan assets 
(using Level 2 inputs) for both plans were $26 million and $24 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

Incentive Plans 

Under our 2010 Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), shares of our common stock are made available for awards to 
employees and nonemployee members of our Board of Directors. 

The Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee; however, the full Board of Directors makes 
determinations regarding awards to nonemployee directors under the Incentive Plan.  The Compensation Committee or our 
Board of Directors, as applicable, determines the type or types of award(s) to be made to each participant and sets forth in 
the related award agreement the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each award.  Stock options, stock 
appreciation rights and stock and cash awards may be made under the Incentive Plan.  There are no options outstanding 
under the Incentive Plan.  We have not granted any stock options since 2005 and the Compensation Committee has 
expressed its intention to refrain from using stock options as a component of employee compensation for our executive 
officers and other employees for the foreseeable future.  Additionally, the Board of Directors has expressed its intention to 
refrain from using stock options as a component of nonemployee director compensation for the foreseeable future. 

In 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Compensation Committee granted awards of performance units under the Incentive Plan and a 
prior plan to certain of our key executives and employees, and our Board of Directors granted performance units under the 
Incentive Plan and a prior plan to our Chairman of the Board of Directors.  The performance units awarded are scheduled to 
vest in full on the third anniversary of the award date, or pro rata over three years if the participant meets certain age and 
years of service requirements.  The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors have approved specific financial 
goals and measures (as defined in the Performance Award Goals and Measures), based on our cumulative cash flow from 
operations and a comparison of return on invested capital and cost of capital for each of the three-year periods ending 
December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 to be used as the basis for the final value of the performance units.  The final value of 

46

 
 
each performance unit granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011 may range from $0 to $150.   Upon vesting and determination of 
value, the value of the performance units will be payable in cash.  Compensation expense related to the performance units 
was $22.9 million, $19.9 million and $18.8 million in 2013, 2012 and 2010, respectively.  As of December 31, 2013, there 
were 434,375 performance units outstanding. 

There has been no stock option activity after December 31, 2010.   

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Compensation Committee granted restricted units of our common stock to certain of our 
key executives and employees.  During 2013, 2012 and 2011, our Board of Directors granted restricted units of our 
common stock to our Chairman of the Board of Directors (our "Chairman") and restricted common stock to our other 
nonemployee directors.  Over 60%, 50% and 50% of the grants made to our employees in 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively, vest in full on the third anniversary of the award date, conditional upon continued employment.  The 
remainder of the grants made to employees and all the grants made to our Chairman vest pro rata over three years, as these 
participants meet certain age and years-of-service requirements.  For the grants to each of the participant employees and the 
Chairman, the participant will be issued a share of our common stock for the participant's vested restricted stock units at the 
earlier of three years or, if the participant vested earlier after meeting the age and service requirements, at termination of 
employment or service.  The grants to our nonemployee directors vest in full on the first anniversary of the award date 
conditional upon continued service as a director, with one exception.  In February 2013, we granted shares of restricted 
common stock to a director who had given written notice of his intention to retire from our board of directors.  Those shares 
were to vest if his service continued until the election of directors at our annual meeting of shareholders in April 2013.  The 
director fulfilled that requirement by resigning concurrent with that election and the shares of restricted stock became 
vested.  In April 2009, the Compensation Committee adopted a policy that Oceaneering will not provide U.S. federal 
income tax gross-up payments to any of its directors or executive officers in connection with future awards of restricted 
stock or stock units.  This policy had no effect on existing change-in-control agreements with two of our executive officers 
or the existing service agreement with our Chairman, which provide for tax gross-up payments that could become 
applicable to such future awards in limited circumstances, such as following a change in control of Oceaneering.  Since 
August 2010, there have been no outstanding awards that provide for tax gross-up payments.  The tax benefit realized from 
tax deductions in excess of the financial statement expense of our restricted stock grants was $3.4 million, $2.5 million and 
$1.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The restricted stock units granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011 carry no voting rights and no dividend rights.  Each grantee of 
shares of restricted common stock is deemed to be the record owner of those shares during the restriction period, with the 
right to vote and receive any dividends on those shares. 

Effective January 1, 2006, the unvested portions of our grants of restricted stock units were valued at their estimated fair 
values as of their respective grant dates.  The grants in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were subject only to vesting conditioned on 
continued employment or service as a nonemployee director; therefore, these grants were valued at the grant date fair 
market value using the closing price of our stock on the New York Stock Exchange. 

Compensation expense under the restricted stock plans was $16.7 million, $14.6 million and $11.1 million for 2013, 2012 
and 2011, respectively.  As of December 31, 2013, we had $14.4 million of future expense to be recognized related to our 
restricted stock unit plans over a weighted average remaining life of 1.7 years. 

Post-Employment Benefit 

In 2001, we entered into an agreement with our Chairman who was also then our Chief Executive Officer.  That agreement 
was amended in 2006 and in 2008.  Pursuant to the amended agreement, the Chairman relinquished his position as Chief 
Executive Officer in May 2006 and began his post-employment service period on December 31, 2006, which continued 
through August 15, 2011, during which service period the Chairman, acting as an independent contractor, agreed to serve as 
nonexecutive Chairman of our Board of Directors.  The agreement provides the Chairman with post-employment benefits 
for ten years following August 15, 2011.  The agreement also provides for medical coverage on an after-tax basis to the 
Chairman, his spouse and children for their lives.  We recognized the net present value of the post-employment benefits 
over the expected service period.  Our total accrued liabilities, current and long-term, under this post-employment benefit 
were $6.3 million and $6.8 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

As part of the arrangements relating to the Chairman's post-employment benefits, we established an irrevocable grantor 
trust, commonly known as a "rabbi trust," to provide the Chairman greater assurance that we will set aside an adequate 
source of funds to fund payment of the post-retirement benefits under this agreement, including the medical coverage 
benefits payable to the Chairman, his spouse and their children for their lives.  In connection with establishment of the rabbi 

48

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
   
 
trust, we contributed to the trust a life insurance policy on the life of the Chairman, which we had previously obtained, and 
we agreed to continue to pay the premiums due on that policy.  When the life insurance policy matures, the proceeds of the 
policy will become assets of the trust.  If the value of the trust exceeds $4 million, as adjusted by the consumer price index, 
at any time after January 1, 2012, the excess may be paid to us.  However, because the trust is irrevocable, the assets of the 
trust are generally not available to fund our future operations until the trust terminates, which is not expected to be during 
the lives of the Chairman, his spouse or their children.  Furthermore, no tax deduction will be available for our 
contributions to the trust; however, we may benefit from future tax deductions for benefits actually paid from the trust 
(although benefit payments from the trust are not expected to occur in the near term, because we expect to make direct 
payments of those benefits for the foreseeable future).
