- “In 2024 the Company has employed 12 local staff in Guyana, further strengthening Oceaneering's position as a key service provider in the area.”
- “Subsea Robotics (SSR) revenue declined in 2024 due to the completion of several projects scopes, the outlook remains positive. The market is expected to offer strong opportunities in the year ahead.”
- “Oceaneering Projects Group (OPG) this significant project has since concluded, and the business has not yet secured a replacement of comparable scale or scope.”
- “In addition to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which has prompted many governments to prioritize energy security by sourcing supplies from stable and reliable regions, the Company has also been affected by the introduction of new tariffs in certain jurisdictions.”
- “On 20 June 2023 Pillar Two legislation was substantively enacted in the UK. The legislation will be effective for the Group's financial year beginning 1 January 2024. The Group expects that the Company will meet one of the transitional safe harbour tests and as such there should be no impact on the Company of the Pillar Two legislation.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
