GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Minnesota in 1979. It is an international offshore energy company that provides reservoir development solutions and other contracting services to the energy market as well as to its own oil and gas properties. Its Contracting Services segment utilizes its vessels, offshore equipment and methodologies to deliver services that may reduce finding and development (F&D) costs and encompass the complete lifecycle of an offshore oil and gas field. Its Oil and Gas segment engages in prospect generation, exploration, development and production activities. Its primary operations are located in the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Asia Pacific and West Africa regions. Its 'life of field' services are segregated into three disciplines: subsea construction, well operations and production facilities. The Company has disaggregated its contracting services operations into three reportable segments: Contracting Services; Shelf Contracting; and Production Facilities. Its Contracting Services business includes deepwater construction, well operations and drilling. Its subsea construction services include pipelay and robotics in water depths exceeding 1,000 feet. It also provides construction services periodically from its well intervention vessels. The Company engineers, manages and conducts well construction, intervention, drilling and decommissioning operations in water depths ranging primarily from approximately 200 feet to 10,000 feet. It owns interests in certain production facilities in hub locations where there is potential for significant subsea tieback activity. Ownership of production facilities enables it to earn a transmission company type return through tariff charges while providing construction work for its vessels. Its services include: Development-Installation of subsea pipelines, flowlines, control umbilicals, manifold assemblies, risers; pipelay and burial; installation and tie-in of riser and manifold assembly; commissioning, testing and inspection; and cable and umbilical lay and connection; Production-Inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) of production structures, risers, pipelines and subsea equipment; well intervention; life of field support; and intervention engineering; and Decommissioning-Decommissioning and remediation services; plugging and abandonment services; platform salvage and removal services; pipeline abandonment services; and site inspections. Its customers include major and independent oil and gas producers and suppliers, pipeline transmission companies and offshore engineering and construction firms. The contracting services industry is highly competitive. Its competitors on the OCS include Global Industries, Ltd., Oceaneering International, Inc. and a number of smaller companies, some of which only operate a single vessel and often compete solely on price. For Deepwater projects, its main competitors include Acergy S.A., Allseas Group S.A., Subs
