Prepare for moving out of legacy fleets
Outsourcing capability ahead of the planned decline in fleet
Managing internal capability and capacity, particularly in New Iberia
Optimising direct and indirect staff
•
Consider alternative support options for new types

EC225, S-92A, AW139, TM, GE
Exiting Power-by-the-Hour (PbH) on a case-by-case basis
Hybrid PbH or changes to traditional Repair and Overhaul (R&O)
Competitive outsourcing of R&O and other support functions
•
Maximising consignment inventory where appropriate

59
Year to date performance
•
Has been disappointing!
•
Total flight hours more or less as anticipated but with shortfalls in NABU and AUSBU
•
Results impacted by:
•
Higher general and salary inflation
•
Failure to recover all of that inflation from contract escalation clauses
•
Project delays, especially in OIBU and AUSBU (personnel carry costs and
aircraft utilization issues)
•
Unprecedented
number
of
aircraft
movements
(9)
and

in
OIBU (actual $ cost, plus management time, focus and $)
•

which
could not have been anticipated and will not recur in H2FY12

61
Year to date performance:
What are we doing about it?
•
Global cost reduction initiative implemented for remainder of FY12
•
Cost efficiencies being sought in UK and New Iberia through Human
Resources shared services
•
Already exploiting additional work in AUSBU and OIBU (commenced after
September 30)
•
Strengthening management team in Norway
•
Switching Finance Managers in Europe
•
Reducing overhead in AUSBU by $500,000 (office and management)
•
Implementing different management support model in OIBU (done) and
consolidating the entire team in Redhill, U.K. (next summer)

62
Summary: Operations
•
Ongoing focus on Safety as we continue to strive for Target Zero
•
The first half of the year has been negatively impacted by several factors,
most of which will not recur in the second half of the year
•
With those issues largely behind us and market share gains/increased
activity already in place, and/or scheduled for the second half of the year,
operational performance will improve in Q3 and especially Q4 (and beyond)
•
New medium and heavy aircraft will be introduced into the fleet strategically
to leverage existing infrastructure and maximize returns
•
Client Promise and a tightness in certain fleets (especially the
heavies), will
lead to higher prices for quality services
•
We will look to innovate in the areas of maintenance, inventory,
and supply
chain if business improvement opportunities warrant it

Capital allocation and cash flow
generation: Understanding BVA

Creating cash thesis: BVA simplified
71

Introducing Bristow Value Added (BVA)
Treat capital like any other cost
•
BVA is the key measure to define financial success
•
BVA is robust enough to captures all trade-offs:
Revenue
After Tax Margins
Asset Intensity
Reinvestment Rate
Bristow Value Added = Gross Cash Flow –
(Gross Operating Assets X Capital Charge)
BVA                 =           GCF         -
(          GOA          X           10.5%    )
Bristow Value Added calculation for FY2011
$(10.1)
=           $257          -
(         $2,543* X            10.5%  )
Differentiation
Sustainability
Risk
*  Represents the average gross operating assets for FY2011
72

73
Improvement in BVA year-over-year is proven to drive
share price appreciation
•
Cash flow based and
consistent with discount
cash flow valuation
•
Enterprise Value (EV)
equals Assets + PV(BVA)
•
PV(BVA) estimated as
simply capitalized BVA
•
Explanation of valuation is
strong in the capital markets
Based on largest 1000 US Non-Financial Companies, January 2011

BVA calculation:
Gross Cash Flow (GCF) is analogous to after tax EBITDA 
•
Gross Cash Flow (GCF) is similar to after tax EBITDA. Empirical research
demonstrates that Gross Cash Flow (rather than accounting profit
measures
such as operating income or earnings) better relate to how investor’s value
companies over time.
•
The use of GCF, rather than an income measure, ensures BVA is a cash
based measure.
•
GCF is designed to be consistent with our definition of Gross Operating
Assets and the capital charge.
“Adjustments”
to GCF:
•
Plus: Rent (Add Back to Reverse
the Charge)
•
Less: Taxes
•
Plus (Less): Strategic Equity
Investments
“Exclusions”
from GCF:
•
D&A
•
Interest Expense (Income)
•
Gain/Loss on Sale of Assets
•
Equity Earnings
74

BVA calculation:
Gross Operating Assets (GOA) is aligned with GCF
•
Gross Operating Assets (GOA) is a
measure of the tangible resources
deployed into the business
•
They are the assets which contribute to
Bristow’s GCF generation and ongoing
operations.  
“Adjustments”
to GOA
•
Gross Book Value PP&E
•
Capitalized Operating Leases
•
Strategic Equity Investments
•
Gains/Losses on Sale of Aircraft
“Exclusions”
from GOA
•
Cash
•
Goodwill and Intangibles
•
Equity Investments
75

BVA calculation:
Our current capital charge is 10.5%
•
Core concept: investors require a minimum rate
of return on their investment in Bristow
•
Bristow’s Capital charge relates but is higher
than this minimum rate of return so for
purposes of calculating BVA, the current Capital
Charge has been designated at 10.5%
•
By fixing the Capital Charge, operating
managers can “focus”
on the operational levers
available to improve BVA without worrying
about shifts in the capital markets
•
The Capital Charge sets a baseline, but what
really matters is the CHANGE in BVA year-on
year, as some regions earn higher than this
10.5%

Bristow needs to combine capital efficiency with
our historic commitment to capital prudency
FY11 select financial metrics
•
Bristow is well capitalized, but is not currently creating adequate
value because our returns on capital do not exceed the 10.5% capital
charge

•
Incremental leverage and operating leases are a way to help
operations earn more positive BVA and increase competitiveness
80

81
Capital efficiency and prudent balance sheet
management: Where we want to go
•
Reduce construction in progress (CIP*)
•
Use more operating leases for aircraft
•
Faster sale of unprofitable aircraft and
redeployment of cash balances
•
Increased BVA by committing less capital for
same cash flow generated
•
Increased competitiveness as capital efficiency
reduces our cost structure
* CIP (Construction in Progress) payments made to aircraft manufacturers before aircraft is delivered.
Methods for
change
Expected
outcomes

82
Capital efficiency and prudent balance sheet
management: How we get there
Liquidity
Capital Return
Capex vs
Leases
•
Minimum total liquidity of $200M
•
Quarterly dividend growth of 10-15% per annum
•
Excess cash may be distributed to shareholders with
specifics approved by Board of Directors
•
Balance use of operating cash flow + a/c sales with leases
for a/c purchases and other capex
Capital
Structure
•
Leases used for initially no more than 20-30% of total
Bristow LACE
•
Adjusted Debt/Capital Ratio less than 45%

83
Operating leases reduce capital commitment,
create optionality, and increase competitiveness
•
Basic lease terms are more value
added than in the past
•
Pre-delivery payments to be
made by lessor to reduce CIP
•
End of lease term options –
renewal options, purchase or
return
•
Lease rental cost compares very
favorably to our WACC given
Bristow under-exposure to market
•
Rule of Thumb: lease capital
commitment  and imputed debt
amount is about half of a total A/C
purchase price

84
Capital efficiency and prudent balance sheet management:
Capital return perspectives
Share
Repurchase
Regular
Dividend
•
Signals management confidence in future
business stability and cash generation
•
Cash flow generation allows for 10-15%
annual increase in dividends
•
Payout ratio and dividend coverage to be
monitored as part of increases
•
Signals management confidence in value of
business
•
Value is key to decision with net book value

•
Secular growth opportunities that were identified for the
next five years underpin Bristow’s value creation
•
Client Promise will enhance Bristow’s premier brand and
drive value creation
•
Disciplined capital allocation through BVA and prudent
balance sheet management will provide Bristow’s firm
foundation for this growth and value creation
•
Bristow will balance growth and capital return to create a
unique investment vehicle in the oil services sector
