"Consistent with our outlook that the second half of 2023 would mark the positive inflection point for Bristow's financial results, Q3 Adjusted EBITDA of $56.6 million represents a 45% sequential quarter improvement and supports our outlook for stronger financial results in 2024 and beyond," said Chris Bradshaw, President and CEO of Bristow Group. "We are raising the Company's full-year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $165-$175 million. The fundamentals for Bristow's business continue to strengthen, supporting our belief that we are in the early stages of a multi-year growth cycle. With the largest and most diverse aircraft fleet in the industry and the largest operational footprint, Bristow is well-positioned to benefit from opportunities in this upcycle."

Sequential Quarter Results

Operating revenues in the Current Quarter were $18.7 million higher compared to the Preceding Quarter. Operating revenues from offshore energy services were $17.8 million higher primarily due to higher utilization in each geographic region and higher lease payments received from Cougar Helicopters Inc. ("Cougar"). Operating revenues from government services were $1.8 million lower in the Current Quarter primarily due to the transition from an interim contract to the tendered contract for the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard, partially offset by higher utilization and the strengthening of the British pound sterling ("GBP") relative to the U.S. dollar ("USD"). Operating revenues from fixed wing services were $2.7 million higher in the Current Quarter primarily due to higher utilization.

Operating expenses were consistent with the Preceding Quarter. Personnel and fuel costs were higher in the Current Quarter, offset by lower insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and other operating costs.

General and administrative expenses were $1.6 million higher primarily due to higher professional services fees.

During the Current Quarter, the Company sold or otherwise disposed of two helicopters and other assets, resulting in a net gain of $1.2 million. During the Preceding Quarter, the Company sold or otherwise disposed of three helicopters and other assets, resulting in a net loss of $3.2 million.

Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates were $2.4 million higher in the Current Quarter primarily due to higher earnings at Cougar.

Other income, net of $4.8 million in the Current Quarter primarily resulted from foreign exchange gains of $4.5 million. Other expense, net of $13.0 million in the Preceding Quarter primarily resulted from foreign exchange losses of $13.0 million, of which $7.6 million was due to the significant devaluation in the Nigerian Naira.

Income tax expense was $22.6 million in the Current Quarter compared to an income tax benefit of $14.2 million in the Preceding Quarter primarily due to increased earnings during the Current Quarter, the earnings mix of the Company's global operations and changes to deferred tax valuation allowances.

Liquidity and Capital Allocation

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $207.5 million of unrestricted cash and $66.8 million of remaining availability under its amended asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") for total liquidity of $274.4 million. Borrowings under the amended ABL Facility are subject to certain conditions and requirements.

In the Current Quarter, purchases of property and equipment were $18.4 million, of which $4.7 million were maintenance capital expenditures, and cash proceeds from dispositions of property and equipment were $7.3 million. In the Preceding Quarter, purchases of property and equipment were $12.2 million, of which $2.5 million were maintenance capital expenditures, and cash proceeds from dispositions of property and equipment were $3.3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance and operating results of its business. Each of these measures, as well as Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, each as detailed below, have limitations, and are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") (including the notes), included in the Company's filings with the SEC and posted on the Company's website. EBITDA is defined as Earnings before Interest expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for certain special items that occurred during the reported period, as noted below. The Company includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with a supplemental measure of its operating performance. Management believes that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to investors because it provides information with respect to the Company's ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and the financial performance of the Company's assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a recognized term under GAAP. Accordingly, they should not be used as an indicator of, or an alternative to, net income as a measure of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements, such as debt service requirements. Because the definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (or similar measures) may vary among companies and industries, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

There are two main ways in which foreign currency fluctuations impact Bristow's reported financials. The first is primarily non-cash foreign exchange gains (losses) that are reported in the Other Income line on the Income Statement. These are related to the revaluation of balance sheet items, typically do not impact cash flows, and thus are excluded in the Adjusted EBITDA presentation. The second is through impacts to certain revenue and expense items, which impact the Company's cash flows. The primary exposure is the GBP/USD exchange rate.

The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 and 2024 included in this release to projected net income (GAAP) for the same periods because components of the calculation are inherently unpredictable. The inability to forecast certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the accuracy of the reconciliation. Additionally, the Company does not provide guidance on the items used to reconcile projected Adjusted EBITDA due to the uncertainty regarding timing and estimates of such items. Therefore, the Company does not present a reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to net income (GAAP) for 2023 or 2024.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands, unaudited).

(2)  Other special items include professional services fees that are not related to continuing business operations and other nonrecurring costs

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow represents the Company's net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures. In prior periods, the Company's Free Cash Flow was calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus proceeds from disposition of property and equipment less purchases of property and equipment. Management believes that the change in the Company's free cash flow calculation, as presented herein, better represents the Company's cash flow available for discretionary purposes, including growth capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is Free Cash Flow adjusted to exclude costs paid in relation to a PBH maintenance agreement buy-in, reorganization items, costs associated with recent mergers, acquisitions and ongoing integration efforts, as well as other special items which include nonrecurring professional services fees and other nonrecurring costs or costs that are not related to continuing business operations. Management believes that Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are meaningful to investors because they provide information with respect to the Company's ability to generate cash from the business. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow is net cash provided by operating activities. Since neither Free Cash Flow nor Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a recognized term under GAAP, they should not be used as an indicator of, or an alternative to, net cash provided by operating activities. Investors should note numerous methods may exist for calculating a company's free cash flow. As a result, the method used by management to calculate Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their free cash flow.
