One day after closing its all-stock merger with Helix Energy Solutions, Hornbeck Offshore furnished the first detailed investor presentation for the combined company. The deck quantifies what the merger actually delivers: $2.0 billion in total backlog, $551 million in LTM Adjusted EBITDA, a conservative 0.4x net debt-to-EBITDA ratio, and approximately $618 million in liquidity. Management targets $75 million in annual revenue and cost synergies within three years. The presentation also reveals the post-merger operating structure — three segments (Marine Transportation & Specialty at $606mm LTM revenue, Subsea Services at $414mm, Well Intervention at $851mm) — and a 7-member board with 55%/45% Hornbeck/Helix ownership split. This is the first time investors see the combined company's full financial picture and integration roadmap, making it the key reference document for evaluating the merged entity's value proposition.
