particularly promising

 Q4
2011 YOY Operational performance highlights Europe
Revenue
and
operating
margin
is
higher
year
over
year
due
to
new
customers,
increased
activity and cost management.
West Africa
Revenue rose because of new contracts and rate escalations on existing contracts
and reduced number of aircraft maintenance delays. However, operating
margin is lower due to a high level of maintenance and freight costs in the
quarter. Australia
Revenue
increased
significantly
from
new
contracts
and
favorable
exchange
rates; higher
compensation costs and non-recurring costs drove operating margin lower.
However, sequentially better versus the third quarter.
Other International
Revenue benefited from new contracts in the Baltic Sea and Suriname and higher
activity in Brazil, Trinidad and Russia. Operating income improved
significantly due to strong performance by Lider in Brazil.
North America
Lower revenue and profitability due to poor weather in February and end of support
work for BP. A few drilling permits were issued in Q4. Activity
has started to pick up very recently. 8 |

 Quarterly dividend initiation
13
•
On May 4, 2011, the Board of Directors of Bristow declared a first quarter cash
dividend of $0.15 per share of our common stock.
•
The dividend will be paid on June 10, 2011 to stockholders of record on May 20,
2011; approximately $5.4 million payment expected.
•
If held at this level and paid quarterly (subject to quarterly Board approval), we
expect the dividend to yield 1.4% annually based on a $43.81 stock
price. •
We are confident in the underlying ability of Bristow to generate cash flow while
growing the business across the globe.
•
We believe a dividend payment will make our stock more attractive to international
and income-oriented investors.
•
In FY 2012 and future periods, we will continually evaluate excess liquidity and
optimal capital structure in consideration of any increase in the level of
dividends or other possible return of cash to our investors.
|
 FY
2012 earnings guidance •
Issuance of annual earnings guidance demonstrates Bristow’s confidence in our
business model anchored by the underlying contractual stability serving
mostly offshore production, which makes our operating performance more
stable and predictable. •
Our objectives in providing annual earnings guidance include:
•
Aligning shareholders and other market participants with management’s
expectation of our operational performance and how management directs and
operates our business. •
Increasing BRS trading liquidity and lowering our cost of equity.
•
Earnings per share guidance for fiscal year 2012 is $3.55 to $3.90.
•
Earnings per share guidance does not include unrealized gains and losses on
disposals of assets as well as special items because their timing and
amounts are more variable and less predictable. •
Perspectives on the FY 2012 adjusted earnings guidance range will be updated on
subsequent quarterly calls.

Minority interest is added to EBITDA since the capital employed includes the full fair value of
aircraft operated by consolidated subsidiaries. Average capital employed represents the average
of the prior fiscal year end balance and quarter-end balances. Fair market value of aircraft is adjusted at the beginning of each fiscal year using our experience
buying and selling aircraft and a third-party valuation service. Also adjustments are made quarterly to reflect aircraft entering and exiting the fleet.
Excludes leased aircraft and aircraft operated for others. |
