2022 Annua

Letter to Shareholders

2022 marked Oceaneering’s fourth consecutive year of improved adjusted EBITDA 
performance, in addition to net income that was positive for the first time since 2017.   
Our improved results were primarily due to growth in energy markets that spurred 
increased offshore activity in our Subsea Robotics (SSR) and Offshore Projects Group (OPG) 
segments, which realized improved pricing and increased utilization in the second half of 
the year.  Compared to 2021, our 2022 consolidated revenue increased 11% to  
$2.1 billion, with revenue growth in our OPG, SSR, and Manufactured Products segments 
being partially offset by revenue declines in our Integrity Management and Digital Solutions 
(IMDS) and Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTech) segments. 

Rod Larson 

We generated $121 million in cash flow provided by operating activities and invested  
$81.0 million in capital, while generating positive free cash flow and increasing our  
cash balance at year end by $30.6 million to $569 million. 

We are pleased with the following notable achievements of 2022:

•  The entire Oceaneering organization remained focused on life-saving rules, identifying high hazard tasks and developing engineered 

solutions to mitigate risks.  This resolve led to a decline in total recordable incident rate (TRIR) from 0.4 in 2021 to 0.3 in 2022. 

•  Each of our five operating segments achieved positive operating income and positive adjusted EBITDA.
•  Our combined SSR and OPG segments achieved meaningful year-over-year improvements in revenue and EBITDA.
•  Our SSR business continued to achieve outstanding drill-support ROV performance, with 99% average uptime achieved during the year.  
•  We achieved commercial technical readiness for our Freedom™ system, a hybrid remotely operated vehicle (ROV) / autonomous  

underwater vehicle (AUV).   

•  Our Oceaneering Mobile Robotics business launched its MaxMoverTM autonomous counterbalance forklift product; we have  

seen strong industrial interest since its introduction to the market, as evidenced by significant contracts with a major manufacturer  
to deliver 85 forklifts in 2023 and 2024. 

•  Our ADTech segment secured several meaningful contracts during the year, despite a decline in revenue caused by delays stemming  

from the U.S. federal government budget approval process, including a multi-year contract by the U.S. Navy to provide subsea systems to  
support the modified Virginia-class submarine platform, and a multi-year contract to develop next-generation extravehicular spacesuits  
as part of a team led by Collins Aerospace.

Many of our annual financial metrics improved sequentially in 2022.  Here are a few: 

•  GAAP net income was positive for the first time since 2017. 
•  Consolidated backlog grew by 15%, from $1.7 billion on December 31, 2021 to $1.9 billion on December 31, 2022. 
•  One-year backlog conversion expected at the beginning of 2023 increased significantly as compared to the expectations at the beginning 

of 2022.  

•  Cash and cash equivalents increased by $30.6 million to $569 million.
•  Our enterprise value grew to $1.9 billion at the end of 2022, as compared to $1.3 billion at the end of 2021, on the strength of our 

increasing share price. 

Sustainability remains a core focus.  We have made additional progress on our environmental, social and governance initiatives, including: 
improving climate-related disclosures; fostering employee career development, as evidenced by internal promotions to senior management; 
diversifying perspectives of the executive leadership team with the appointment of our new Chief Legal Officer; and preparing for compliance 
with proposed SEC rules to standardize disclosures around climate and cybersecurity risks.  Importantly, we continue to develop and evolve 
technologies using our digital and core robotics expertise to help our customers address personnel shortages, safety, and cost efficiencies, 
while also mitigating carbon emissions.

We anticipate 2023 to be another year with sequential improvement in our financial results.  We are forecasting our 2023 consolidated 
revenue to grow by more than 10% based on year-end 2022 backlog, the expected meaningful increase in backlog conversion, anticipated 
2023 order intake, and current market fundamentals.  We forecast increased revenue in each of our operating segments, led by 
Manufactured Products and SSR.  Based on current market conditions, we expect good opportunities for improved pricing and margins in  
our energy-focused businesses and stable pricing and margins in our government-focused businesses.  Our ability to increase our cash 
position over the last several years gives us significant flexibility to manage our $400 million debt maturity in November 2024.

I am extremely excited about the positive market indicators for our businesses, including the opportunity to improve our prices and  
margins in our traditional businesses and the growing prospects to leverage our robotics experience into new markets.   
We remain committed to generating cash, which allows us to continue developing and delivering technologies that help our customers  
produce hydrocarbons in a cleaner and safer manner while increasing our investments into new markets, including renewables,  
digital asset management, aerospace and defense solutions, and mobility solutions. 

Achieving success requires a team effort, and none of our accomplishments would have 
been possible without our dedicated and passionate employees and management team.   
I want to personally thank our employees for driving our successes at Oceaneering.   
I also want to thank our shareholders who have shown increasing confidence in our  
ability to grow and transform our company.

use of subsea completions and our ability to capture associated market share; 
general economic and business conditions and industry trends; the strength of the 
industry segments in which we are involved; the continuing effects of the COVID-19 
pandemic and variants thereof, and the governmental, customer, supplier, and other 
responses thereto; cancellations of contracts, change orders and other contractual 
modifications, force majeure declarations and the exercise of contractual suspension 
rights and the resulting adjustments to our backlog; collections from our customers; 
our future financial performance, including as a result of the availability, terms

exchange rates; the volatility and uncertainties of credit markets; changes in tax 
laws, regulations and interpretation by taxing authorities; changes in, or our ability 
to comply with, other laws and governmental regulations, including those relating 
to the environment; the continued availability of qualified personnel; our ability to 
obtain raw materials and parts on a timely basis and, in some cases, from limited 
sources; operating risks normally incident to offshore exploration, development and 
production operations; hurricanes and other adverse weather and sea conditions; 
cost and time associated with drydocking of our vessels; the highly competitive 
nature of our businesses; adverse outcomes from legal or regulatory proceedings; 
the risks associated with integrating businesses we acquire; rapid technological 
changes; and social, political, military and economic situations in foreign countries 
where we do business and the possibilities of civil disturbances, war, other armed 
conflicts or terrorist attacks.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties 
materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements 
prove incorrect, actual outcomes could vary materially from those indicated. 
These and other risks are fully described in Oceaneering’s annual report on Form
