Air Methods Corporation NASDAQ: AIRM Corporate Presentation August 2012

* Forward Looking Statements/ Non-GAAP Financial Information Forward Looking Statements: This presentation includes certain forward-looking statements which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, including but not limited to the size, structure and growth of the Company's air medical services and products markets; flight volume of community-based operations; collection rates for patient transports; the continuation and/or renewal of air medical service contracts; the acquisition of new and profitable Products Division contracts and other flight service operations; the successful expansion of the community-based operations, the ability of the Company to successfully integrate Omniflight, the timing of the Omniflight integration and the financial benefits associated with the acquisition of Omniflight; the Company’s ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing rules and other matters set forth in the Company’s public filings. Non-GAAP Financial Information: This presentation discusses EBITDA, which is not calculated in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).  The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and gain or loss on disposition of assets. A table is provided in this press release to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measure to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Management believes the additions and subtractions from net income used to calculate EBITDA reflect the measurements that its bank creditors and third party stock analysts use in evaluating the Company. These adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results and trends and performance. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to evaluate the Company's financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

* Restatement of Financial Statements Virtually all aircraft operators account for their aircraft leases as operating leases versus capital leases. Omniflight was required to restate their financial statements to account for their aircraft leases as capital leases. AIRM consulted with the Securities and Exchange Commission and outside auditors – KPMG about the proper accounting of the aircraft leases. Decision was made to restate historical financial statements to reflect the aircraft leases as capital leases. EPS impact was $(0.03) and $(0.11) for nine months ended September 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively Impact to 12/31/2010: Increase in EBITDA by $50 million Increase in Depreciation and Interest Expense by $39 million and $13 million, respectively Increase in Fixed Assets by $244 million Increase in Capital Lease Liabilities by $273 million

* Expansion Opportunities Sweden - Air Methods is looking at a company with operations in Sweden, Norway and Finland. Two of the company's three owners want to sell the business. Turkey - The government is looking to replace the incumbent provider (18 aircraft) with one that could procure a newer fleet. The effort would require a joint venture with a local company, and would follow the hospital-based model (should have higher margins than HBS but lower margins than CBS). Management would not be surprised if this happens later in the year. China - Management was approached by the Chinese government to explore offering air medical services in the country. India - While the government won't pay for these services, an opportunity exists to service individual communities of private wealthy citizens. Domestic Regional Provider - The company could look to acquire a regional provider with operations in California and Texas. Tourism - The higher-margin tourism business could also provide synergies, as pilots could satisfy their 2,000-hour flight requirement before joining Air Methods' air medical business (tourism pilots do not need to meet this minimum).
