- Segment Performance:
- ROVs: Revenues surged 60% year-over-year in Q2 due to higher utilization rates (79% vs. 63%) and additional units.
- Subsea Products: Gross margins collapsed to 1% in Q2 2001 (from 10% in 2000) due to a $3.5 million loss on a large steel tube umbilical order.
- Mobile Offshore Production Systems: Revenues and margins improved as the "Ocean Legend" unit began generating full dayrate revenue.
- Other Services: Margins improved significantly (17% vs. 5% prior year) due to increased Gulf of Mexico activity and the exit from low-margin non-U.S. diving operations.
