BRISTOW GROUP REPORTS RECORD FISCAL 2007 FOURTH QUARTER AND
YEAR-END FINANCIAL RESULTS
HOUSTON, May 22, 2007 – Bristow Group Inc. (NYSE: BRS) today reported record financial results for its fiscal 2007 fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2007.
Highlights include:
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007:
§ | Bristow’s results were the highest ever in the Company’s history for revenue, operating income, net income and earnings per share; |
§ | Total revenue of $897.9 million increased by 16.8 percent over the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, due to increased flight hours, improved pricing and the addition of new aircraft; |
§ | Operating income of $115.3 million increased by 56.2 percent over the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to increases in revenue and gains on sales of aircraft, partially offset by higher maintenance and salary expense; |
§ | Net income of $74.2 million rose 28.3 percent versus net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006; |
§ | Diluted earnings per share increased 11.8 percent to $2.74 compared to the prior year. Diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 assumes the conversion of the Company’s Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, which adds approximately 3.4 million shares to the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for fiscal year 2007. |
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007:
§ | Bristow achieved record quarterly revenue of $228.7 million, an increase of 13.6 percent over the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Revenue gains occurred in most of our business units, driven by a favorable change in mix of aircraft operating, improved pricing and the addition of new aircraft; |
§ | Operating income of $32.4 million increased by 71.2 percent over the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, primarily due to increases in revenue and gains on sales of aircraft, partially offset by higher maintenance and salary expense; |
§ | Net income of $27.4 million increased 54.0 percent versus net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006; |
§ | Diluted earnings per share increased 21.3 percent to $0.91 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, primarily due to the higher level of operating income. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 assumes the conversion of the Company’s Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, which adds approximately 6.5 million shares to the weighted average diluted shares calculation for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. |
Capital and Liquidity:
§ | The March 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet reflects $871.7 million in stockholders’ investment and $259.1 million of indebtedness, or 22.9 percent leverage; |
§ | We had $184.2 million in cash and an undrawn $100 million revolving credit facility; |
§ | We generated $104.4 million in cash from operations and spent $304.8 million on capital expenditures, primarily for aircraft, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007; |
§ | Aircraft purchase commitments totaled $331.6 million, with options totaling $739.7 million as of March 31, 2007. |
William E. Chiles, president and chief executive officer of Bristow Group Inc., said, “We are very pleased with our latest fiscal year and quarterly results. This record performance is the result of our strategic efforts over the past year to improve our position, take advantage of expanding business opportunities and to improve our financial performance. I am further encouraged that the Company is still at an early stage of our growth plans, which call for an expansion of our fleet capacity as well as improvements in margins and operating efficiencies. Based on continued robust demand for our services and the limited supply of aircraft, we ordered additional large aircraft during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. We expect to realize the earnings power of our investments in these and other new aircraft throughout fiscal 2008 and 2009, as we place these new aircraft into service.”

______
(1) | Represents costs incurred in conjunction with the SEC investigation regarding findings resulting from the internal review initiated by the Audit Committee of our board of directors in fiscal year 2005 of certain payments made by two of our affiliated entities in a foreign country. The costs incurred for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, consist primarily of $3.0 million (pre-tax) recorded for costs and fees we currently expect to incur in connection with the resolution of the SEC investigation, a substantial portion of which relates to legal fees. There can be no assurance that these amounts currently recorded will be sufficient to resolve such matters or that such matters can ultimately be resolved until final action by the SEC. These costs are included in general & administrative costs in our consolidated statements of income. |
(2) | Represents legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with a document subpoena received from the Antitrust Division of the DOJ in June 2005, which related to a grand jury investigation of potential antitrust violations among providers of helicopter transportation services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico focusing on activities during the period from January 1, 2000 to June 13, 2005. These costs are included in general & administrative costs in our consolidated statements of income. |
(3) | Represents a gain on the sale of our investment in a Brazilian joint venture in March 2007. We had previously recorded an impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2005 to reduce the recorded value of our 50 percent investment in this joint venture, as we expected at that time that our investment would not be recoverable. These amounts are included in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of income. |
(4) | Represents the resolution of tax contingencies resulting from our evaluation of the need for certain tax reserves in light of the expiration of the related statutes of limitations in the applicable periods. These amounts represent a direct reduction in our provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of income. |
(5) | Represents the effect of the preferred stock offering completed in September and October 2006. The net income effect results from interest income earned on cash proceeds generated from the offering. Diluted earnings per share for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2007 was reduced by the effect of the inclusion of weighted average shares resulting from the assumed conversion of the preferred stock at the conversion rate that results in the most dilution, partially offset by the impact of higher interest income. |
(6) | Represents expense recorded in December 2006 for acquisition costs previously deferred in connection with an acquisition we were evaluating as we determined that the acquisition is no longer probable. This expense is included within other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of income. |
(7) | On November 30, 2006, we completed a sale of the assets of our aircraft engine overhaul business, Turbo, to Timken Alcor Aerospace Technologies, Inc. for approximately $14.6 million, including estimated post-closing adjustments. The sale was effective November 30, 2006 and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $0.1 million, which is included in gain on disposition of assets in our consolidated statements of income. However, the transaction resulted in additional tax expense of $2.5 million related to non-deductible goodwill recorded at the time we acquired Turbo in 2001. |
(8) | Represents foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the applicable periods, primarily related to the British pound sterling. These gains and losses arose primarily from U.S. dollar-denominated transactions entered into by Bristow Aviation Holdings, Ltd., one of our consolidated subsidiaries (whose functional currency is the British pound sterling). The effects of these foreign currency transaction gains and losses were offset to a large extent by corresponding charges or benefits in the cumulative translation adjustment in stockholders’ investment with no overall economic effect. These amounts are included in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of income. |

SELECTED OPERATING DATA | |
(In thousands, except flight hours and percentages) | |
Beginning with our reporting for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2007, we have made changes to the manner in which intercompany lease charges and depreciation are presented within our segments. Intercompany lease revenues and expenses have been eliminated from our segment reporting, and depreciation expense of aircraft is presented in the segment that operates the aircraft. Intercompany lease revenue was previously included in gross revenue for the segment leasing the aircraft to other segments with the related lease and operating expenses being included in the segment operating the aircraft during the period. Also, depreciation expense associated with aircraft was previously included within operating expense of the segment leasing the aircraft to other segments versus the segment operating the aircraft. Amounts presented for prior periods presented herein have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. In addition to selected operating data for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2007 and the same periods in the prior year, we have presented in the tables below selected operating data for the last eight quarters based on the new segment presentation. | |
