GLDD--6.52----GREAT LAKES DREDGE& DOCK
Great Lakes Dredging Vessel Sustains Damage after Being Struck by Tanker Vessel
1/28/2008
OAK BROOK, Ill., Jan 28, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (NASDAQ:GLDD) - the largest provider of dredging services in the United States and a major provider of commercial and industrial demolition services today reported the status of its Dredge New York that was struck in the approach channel to Port Newark, New Jersey.
At approximately 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, January 24, 2008, the Dredge New York was struck by an orange juice tanker, the Orange Sun, in the approach channel. There were no injuries as a result of this collision. The Orange Sun is owned by Arctic Reefer Corporation of Monrovia, Liberia. The Orange Sun had a local pilot on board at the time of the incident and a local tug on its port side. Visibility in the channel was more than one mile and the weather was partly sunny.
The Dredge New York is a hydraulic backhoe dredge built in 1997 for the New York market. It is the biggest and most powerful vessel of its kind in the world. Since it began operations it has earned over $300 million of dredging revenue and is currently committed on two contracts for the Army Corps of Engineers in the Channels of Port Jersey and Newark Bay. At the time of the collision the Dredge New York had commenced dredging on the Newark Bay project in the 1,700 foot wide channel.
As a result of the collision, the Dredge New York sustained extensive damage including a large rupture in its port side. The Dredge New York was secured 36 hours after the incident as a result of the efforts of Great Lakes' personnel, the Randive Company and Don Jon Marine salvors. Once a permanent patch is secured in the port side hold, the Dredge New York will be towed to a shipyard in Brooklyn and is estimated to arrive Wednesday, January 30th. Repairs are expected to commence immediately. It is unknown at this point how long the Dredge New York will be out of service.
The owners of the Orange Sun have provided to Great Lakes appropriate security including proof of coverage related to this incident under its Protection and Indemnity (P&I) insurance. The Orange Sun will also provide documents, records and produce depositions from crew members in the next ten days. In addition, the Dredge New York is fully insured for hull, collision and pollution exposures under the insurance coverage of Great Lakes. The degree of the impact on the financial results of Great Lakes can not be assessed at this time. The incident with the Dredge New York will be discussed during our February 26th fourth quarter and 2007 year end earnings release and conference call.
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation is the largest provider of dredging services in the United States and the only U.S. dredging company with significant international operations, averaging 23% of its dredging revenues over the last three years. Great Lakes also owns an 85% interest in North American Site Developers, Inc., one of the largest U.S. providers of commercial and industrial demolition services. Additionally, the Company owns a 50% interest in a marine sand mining operation in New Jersey which supplies sand and aggregate used for road and building construction. Great Lakes has a 117-year history of never failing to complete a marine project and owns the largest and most diverse fleet in the industry, comprising over 180 specialized vessels.

Deep Down Announces Third Quarter Results
HOUSTON, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Deep Down, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DPDW) today announced unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, on Form 10-QSB filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
'We are pleased with our third quarter financial performance which is on target with our business plan,' commented Robert E. Chamberlain, Jr., Deep Down's Chairman. Looking on the horizon, we expect continued record setting internal growth to be complemented with strategic acquisitions, including Mako Technologies, Inc.'
Deep Down generated revenue of $12,128,737 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, with cost-of-sales of $8,098,001, for a gross profit of $4,030,736, or 33.2%. Revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, were $4,885,555, with cost-of-sales of $3,552,599, for a gross profit of $1,332,956, or 27.3%.
'Gross margins were impacted by increased engineering and other costs associated with new product development, including our new line of Proteus(TM) custom-engineered active heave compensated in-line winches, deep water rated (4000 meter) launch and retrieval systems, and other products in development. We expect gross margins on these products to increase on future orders. We are actively looking at broadening the breadth of product and service offerings to meet the increasing demands of our growing customer base,' commented Ron E. Smith, Deep Down's President and CEO.
Operating income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $290,298 and $1,070,236, respectively. Net income for the three months and nine months ending September 30, 2007, was $195,969 and $1,036,177, respectively. Included in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, is a one-time gain of $2,000,000 related to the extinguishment of debt coupled with associated non-cash interest expense of $1,102,385, or a net gain of $897,615, related to 4,000 shares of Series E preferred stock that was redeemed at a 50% discount to face value. Adjusting for this nonrecurring non-operating activity, net income for the three months ending September 30, 2007 was $195,969 compared to $138,562 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Earnings before depreciation, interest, amortization, taxes and other non-cash charges (EBITDA) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $457,994 and $1,431,218, respectively.
'We are particularly proud of the improvements to our balance sheet over the last nine months. Since December 31, 2007, working capital has increased $2,358,323 from $932,929 on December 31, 2006, to $3,291,252 on September 30, 2007. Major changes in current assets include an increase in accounts receivable of $2,123,830; an increase in cash of $1,049,974; and increase in work in progress of $1,019,158; an increase in finished goods of $515,601 and an increase in lease receivables of $414,000. Major changes in current liabilities include an increase in accounts payable of $2,782,072 and a payable of $560,000. Our current ratio as of September 30, 2007 remains strong at 1.78 times. Stockholders' equity has increased $6,045,744 from ($3,299,717) on December 31, 2006 to $2,746,027 on September 30, 2007,' commented Eugene L. Butler, Deep Down's CFO.
