Oceaneering International (OII - Free Report) reported a first-quarter 2022 adjusted loss of 6 cents per share, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 10 cents. This outperformance was largely due to strong results in certain segments.
However, the bottom line worsened compared to the year-ago quarter’s profit of 3 cents per share. This can be attributed to lower year-over-year revenues from the Manufactured Products and Aerospace and Defense Technologies units and an increase in expenses.
Oceaneering’s total quarterly revenues of $446.2 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $416 million and increased approximately 2% from the year-ago sales of $437.5 million.
