Oceaneering (OII) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Miss Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
Oceaneering International (OII - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2023 adjusted profit of 18 cents per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 30 cents. This underperformance was due to lower-than-expected operating income from the Subsea Robotics and Manufactured Products segments.
However, the bottom line was better than the year-ago quarter’s figure of 7 cents. This can be attributed to higher-than-expected operating income from the Offshore Projects Group segment.
Total revenues were $597.9 million, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $602 million. The top line, however, increased approximately 14.1% from the year-ago quarter’s level of $524 million.
