McDermott Reports March 2002 Quarter Results

McDermott International, Inc. reported a net loss of $.6 million or a $.01 per share loss (basic and diluted) for the first quarter of 2002, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million or $.07 per share loss (basic and diluted) for the first quarter of 2001. The results for the first quarter of 2001 have been restated to reflect the Hudson Products Company subsidiary as a discontinued operation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("FASB 144"). While not qualifying for such treatment under FASB 144, we have also included our McDermott Engineers & Constructors (Canada) LTD. subsidiary, which we sold in October of 2001, as a discontinued operation to provide a more meaningful quarter to quarter comparison.
