ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 6, 2012, Bristow Group Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release which summarized its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (the “Financial Results”). This press release was issued in anticipation of a conference call and Q&A session starting at 10:00 a.m. ET (9:00 a.m. CT) on Tuesday, August 7, 2012, to review the Financial Results. A copy of the press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The press release includes certain “non-GAAP financial measures” under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), including Adjusted EBITDAR. Adjusted EBITDAR is calculated by taking our net income and adjusting for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, rent expense, benefit (provision) for income taxes, gain (loss) on disposal of assets and special items, if any. Additionally, our operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share in this release have been presented in certain instances excluding gain (loss) on disposal of assets and special items detailed in the press release; these items are presented as adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures are important metrics for evaluating our operating performance, and they provide investors with additional information that is not directly available in a GAAP presentation. Such non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they eliminate items that are not a function of our current operating performance and affect our GAAP results regardless of performance. In addition, certain of these items may vary significantly from period to period and may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which may affect the comparability of the results. Such non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as an alternative to our GAAP financial statements, but should be read as a supplement to, and in conjunction with, our GAAP financial statements.

COMPANY REAFFIRMS GUIDANCE RANGE FOR FULL FISCAL YEAR 2013 ADJUSTED EPS AT

$3.25—$3.55

HOUSTON, August 6, 2012 – Bristow Group Inc. (NYSE:BRS) today reported net income for the June 2012 quarter of

$23.7 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to net income of $21.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. Adjusted net income, which excludes asset dispositions and a special item, was $29.6 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the June 2012 quarter, an increase of $9.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, over the June 2011 quarter.

Operating revenue for the June 2012 quarter increased 12% to $320.7 million from $286.8 million in the June 2011 quarter, with revenue growth in Europe, West Africa and North America.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“Adjusted EBITDAR”), which excludes asset dispositions and a special item, increased 26% to $84.3 million for the June 2012 quarter from $67.0 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net cash provided by operating activities also increased, totaling $55.4 million in the June 2012 quarter compared to

$52.9 million in the June 2011 quarter and $37.4 million in the March 2012 quarter.

The June 2012 quarter’s GAAP net income was affected by the following items, the first two of which are not included in adjusted net income:

 

   

A loss on disposal of assets of $5.3 million (which includes non-cash impairment charges of $1.9 million associated with aircraft held for sale), compared with a gain on disposal of assets of $1.4 million in the June 2011 quarter,


   

A special charge of $2.2 million for severance costs related to the termination of a contract in the Southern North Sea, and

 

   

Compensation expense of approximately $2.0 million included in general and administrative expense related to the departure of an officer of the Company.

“The strong operating performance we experienced in our fiscal 2012 fourth quarter continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2013,” said William E. Chiles, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bristow Group. “We are benefitting from the strength of the deep-water markets as our results for the June 2012 quarter were driven by higher activity in the North Sea, recovery in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, higher aircraft utilization levels in Nigeria and lower costs primarily at the corporate level.”

Mr. Chiles continued, “We are expecting the solid revenue growth experienced over the recent quarters to continue throughout the remainder of fiscal 2013, and anticipate strong adjusted EBITDAR margins. The Bristow Client Promise – to provide unmatched safety, reliability and hassle-free service – is making a real difference for our clients and as a result, we are being awarded new contracts with better terms for our value proposition.”

FIRST QUARTER FY2013 RESULTS

 

   

Operating revenue increased 12% to $320.7 million compared to $286.8 million in the same period a year ago.

 

   

Operating income increased 10% to $40.0 million compared to $36.4 million in the June 2011 quarter.

 

   

Net income increased 12% to $23.7 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to $21.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the June 2011 quarter. Adjusted net income increased 49% to $29.6 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to $19.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the June 2011 quarter.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDAR increased 26% to $84.3 million compared to $67.0 million in the same period a year ago.

 

   

Cash totaled $227.3 million and our total liquidity, which includes cash and borrowing availability on our $200 million revolving credit facility, was $387 million as of June 30, 2012.

There continues to be strong demand both from new and existing clients in the Northern North Sea and in Norway. To meet this demand, we have added new large aircraft to our Europe Business Unit over the past year. These new aircraft, as well as an overall increase in flying activity, led to a 14% increase in operating revenue and an 11% increase in adjusted EBITDAR over the June 2011 quarter. Adjusted EBITDAR margin of 32.2% was slightly lower than the prior year quarter’s margin of 33.0%.

Activity levels continue to be strong in our West Africa Business Unit, where we saw a 12% increase in flight hours over the June 2011 quarter, leading to a 27% increase in operating revenue, a 37% increase in adjusted EBITDAR and an 8% increase in adjusted EBITDAR margin.

The addition of S-92 large aircraft to our fleet of our North America Business Unit continues to drive operating improvement in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico along with the issuance of more drilling and completion permits. Operating revenue increased 20% resulting from the addition of the new large aircraft despite no significant change in flight hours from the June 2011 quarter. This revenue increase, coupled with a reduction in cost structure and the leasing of new aircraft, led to an almost doubling of adjusted EBITDAR and a significant increase in adjusted EBITDAR margin to 23.2% from 14.3% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDAR margin also improved sequentially over the March 2012 quarter performance of 19.4%.

 

2


Despite a decrease in operating revenue in our Australia Business Unit, adjusted EBITDAR improved 25% and adjusted EBITDAR margin improved 34% over the June 2011 quarter in this market. The improvement represents the result of significant work in this market to reduce costs and better utilize our existing fleet.

Our Other International Business Unit was negatively affected by a decline in activity in Mexico, and an increase in operating costs in Trinidad and lower than expected earnings from Líder in Brazil. Our earnings from Líder were less than expected for the June 2012 quarter due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and startup costs that were incurred for new aircraft in advance of revenue generation. We expect Líder’s contribution to our earnings to remain unpredictable over the remainder of fiscal year 2013. The results from Mexico, Trinidad and Brazil were the primary contributors to the 25% decrease in adjusted EBITDAR margin for Other International compared with the June 2011 quarter.

CONTRACT AWARDS

We recently announced that we have secured several major new multi-year contracts for the provision of a total of 20 large aircraft that are expected to generate in excess of $2 billion in revenue in Europe, Australia and Brazil. This contract work, with higher pricing and improved terms, comes online over the period beginning in the September 2012 quarter through fiscal year 2015, with three aircraft starting work under these contracts in the September 2012 quarter, ten aircraft in fiscal year 2014 and seven aircraft in fiscal year 2015.

DIVIDEND

On July 31, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a sixth consecutive quarterly dividend. This dividend of $0.20 per share will be paid on September 14, 2012 to shareholders of record on August 31, 2012. Based on shares outstanding at June 30, 2012, total dividend payments to be made during the three months ended September 30, 2012 will be approximately $7.2 million.

GUIDANCE

Bristow is reaffirming today the adjusted earnings per share guidance provided in May 2012 for the full fiscal year 2013 of $3.25 to $3.55.

“Our 2013 guidance reaffirmation is based on the results of this historically strong first quarter of our fiscal year,” said Jonathan E. Baliff, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Bristow Group. “In addition to the stronger performance and earnings per share growth year over year, we continued to generate significant operating cash flow. This is a testament to the hard work of our global operations and commercial teams.”

As a reminder, our GAAP 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. This guidance is based on current foreign currency exchange rates. In providing this guidance, the Company has not included the impact of any changes in accounting standards and any impact from significant acquisitions and divestitures. Changes in events or other circumstances that the Company cannot currently anticipate or predict could result in earnings per share for fiscal year 2013 that are significantly above or below this guidance. Factors that could cause such changes are described below under Forward-Looking Statements Disclosure.

GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

These financial measures have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and have not been audited or reviewed by our independent auditor. These financial measures are therefore considered non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDAR is calculated by taking our net income and adjusting for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, rent expense, benefit (provision) for income taxes, gain (loss) on disposal of assets and special items, if any. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are each adjusted for gain (loss) on disposal of assets and special items, if any, during the reported periods. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our results because they exclude amounts that management does not consider when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the organization. A description of the adjustments to and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is as follows:
