In August, the WorkBoat Composite Index lost 26 points, or about 1%. For the month, losers topped winners 14-11. The top percentage loser for the month was Gulf Island Fabrication. Its stock price dipped 21% in August. This despite posting a second-quarter net income of $528,000, after reporting a $1.6 million loss a year earlier. The Houma, La.-based fabricator of structures for the energy sector said it is continuing to wind down its shipyard segment, which it sold last year. Revenue for the segment in the second quarter 2022 was $3 million, a decrease of $200,000 compared to the second quarter 2021. Revenue for both quarters was related entirely to the division's 70-vehicle ferry for Texas and two 40-vehicle ferry projects for North Carolina. Operating loss for the segment was $1.4 million for the second quarter 2022, compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million a year earlier. Results for the second quarter 2022 included legal fees of $1.2 million associated with the company's MPSV dispute. |
