Tidewater Inc. reported a total revenue of $1.35 billion for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, reflecting a slight increase of 1% from $1.34 billion in 2024. The company's net income surged to $333.5 million, an 86% increase compared to $179.3 million in the previous year. This growth in profitability was attributed to higher average day rates for vessel charters, which rose by 6.1% to $22,573, despite a decrease in overall vessel utilization from 79% to 76.1%. The company’s operational efficiency was further enhanced by a strategic internal restructuring that consolidated a significant portion of its fleet into a wholly owned U.S. entity, resulting in a one-time deferred tax benefit.
In terms of strategic developments, Tidewater completed the acquisition of 37 platform supply vessels from Solstad Offshore ASA in July 2023 for approximately $594.2 million. This acquisition significantly bolstered the company’s fleet and operational capacity, particularly in the North Sea, Australia, and Brazil. Additionally, Tidewater announced plans to acquire Wilson Sons Ultratug Participações S.A. for $500 million, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, further expanding its presence in Brazil.
Operationally, Tidewater managed a fleet of 208 vessels as of December 31, 2025, with 200 active vessels and eight stacked. The company’s workforce comprised approximately 7,300 employees across more than 30 countries. The Americas segment generated $270.2 million in revenue, while the Asia Pacific segment saw a decline in revenue to $189.7 million, primarily due to lower vessel count and utilization. The Middle East segment reported a 13% increase in revenue to $172.6 million, driven by higher day rates.
The company’s financial position remains strong, with cash and cash equivalents totaling $578.8 million and a working capital of $598.9 million as of year-end 2025. Tidewater's long-term debt stood at $649 million, following the issuance of $650 million in senior notes due in 2030. The company has maintained compliance with its financial covenants and anticipates continued operational stability, although it remains cautious about potential fluctuations in oil and gas prices, which could impact future capital expenditures and customer demand.
