Oceaneering (OII) Q1 Earnings and Revenues Beat Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
Oceaneering International, Inc. (OII - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2021 adjusted earnings of 3 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 5 cents per share. The better-than-expected result benefitted from cost-management measures and higher revenue contribution from the Offshore Projects Group segment.
However, the bottom line fell from the year-ago earnings of 4 cents due to lower-than-expected sales from the Aerospace and Defense Technologies, and the Manufactured Products units. Precisely, revenues from the segments totaled $88.3 million and $86.8 million, lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimates of $95 million each.
Oceaneering’s total quarterly revenues of $438 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $433 million but declined 18.4% from the year-ago sales of $537 million.
