Tailwinds

Headwinds
- Vessels primarily in the spot market with limited visibility.
- The recent strengthening in oil prices is a promising sign, but its impact on our operations has lagged, particularly in the North Sea.
- Net loss of $19.0 million.
- Decrease in operating cash flows quarter over quarter was primarily due to increases in working capital outflows.
