Note 9 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

Our service contracts generally contain provisions for specific time, material and equipment charges that are billed in accordance with the terms of such contracts (dayrate contracts) but we occasionally contract on a lump sum basis (lump sum contracts). We record revenues net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

We provide services to our customers in the following markets that are key to our energy transition strategy: Production maximization, Decommissioning and Renewables. The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by market strategy (in thousands):

Contract Balances

Net contract assets were $9.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2025 and are reflected in “Other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (Note 4). The increase in net contract assets was primarily attributable to the contract asset associated with Helix Alliance’s lump sum decommissioning contract that we have retained (Note 3). We had no credit losses on our contract assets for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Net contract liabilities totaled $5.7 million as of June 30, 2026 and $17.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and are reflected as “Deferred revenue,” a component of “Accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (Note 4). The decrease was primarily attributable to the amortization of deferred mobilization fees for work that had not been completed as of both balance sheet dates. Revenue recognized for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 included $12.3 million and $17.7 million, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period. Revenue recognized for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 included $13.8 million and $19.0 million, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period.

Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2026, $1.1 billion related to unsatisfied performance obligations was expected to be recognized as revenue in the future, with $420.9 million, $449.8 million and $269.8 million in 2026, 2027 and 2028 and beyond, respectively. These amounts include fixed consideration and estimated variable consideration for both wholly and partially unsatisfied performance obligations, including mobilization and demobilization fees. These amounts are derived from the specific terms of our contracts, and the expected timing for revenue recognition is based on the estimated start date and duration of each contract according to the information known at June 30, 2026.

For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods were immaterial.

Contract Fulfillment Costs

Deferred contract costs are reflected as “Deferred costs,” a component of “Other current assets” and “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (Note 4). Our deferred contract costs totaled $31.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and $25.6 million as of December 31, 2025. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $9.0 million and $26.2 million, respectively, related to amortization of these deferred contract costs. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $16.8 million and $33.2 million, respectively, related to amortization of these deferred contract costs. There were no associated impairment losses for any period presented.
