“We are pleased to report very strong fourth quarter 2024 financial results, which exceeded the upwardly revised outlook range for Q4 and full year 2024,” said Chris Bradshaw, President and CEO of Bristow Group. “In addition, we are pleased to announce Bristow’s new capital allocation framework, with strategic priorities that include: (i) protect and maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity position; (ii) pursue high impact, high return growth opportunities; and (iii) return capital to shareholders via opportunistic share buybacks and quarterly dividend payments. Understanding that Offshore Energy Services, our largest business segment, is inherently volatile, we must sustain a robust balance sheet that can withstand all market cycles. As such, the Company intends to pay down debt to a balance of approximately $500 million gross debt by the end of 2026. At the same time, we will continue to execute on compelling growth opportunities, such as the long-term Government SAR contracts the Company was awarded in Ireland and the UK as well as the attractive opportunities we have to introduce new AW189 helicopters to meet customer demand and boost profitability in our Offshore Energy Services segment. Furthermore, Bristow is committed to return capital to shareholders via a new quarterly dividend program intended to commence in Q1 2026 with an initial dividend payment of $0.125 per share, or $0.50 per share annualized, as well as opportunistic share buybacks under the Company’s new $125 million share repurchase program.”
Sequential Quarter Results
Revenues in the Current Quarter were $11.6 million lower compared to the Preceding Quarter. Revenues from Offshore Energy Services were $6.1 million lower primarily due to lower utilization, reduced aircraft availability and unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts. Revenues from Government Services were $2.8 million lower in the Current Quarter primarily due to lower utilization and unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts, partially offset by the commencement of the Irish Coast Guard (“IRCG”) contract and the 2nd Generation UK SAR (“UKSAR2G”) contract. Revenues from Other Services were $2.7 million lower in the Current Quarter primarily due to lower seasonal utilization and unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts. Unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts were related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.
Operating expenses were $9.6 million lower in the Current Quarter primarily due to lower operating personnel costs as a result of the finalization of a labor agreement in the UK in the Preceding Quarter, lower fuel costs due to decreased flight hours and lower global fuel prices, and lower repairs and maintenance costs primarily due to decreased power-by-the-hour (“PBH”) expenses. These decreases were partially offset by higher costs related to the commencement of new Government Services contracts.
General and administrative expenses were $1.5 million higher primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs in the Current Quarter related to the Company’s full-year financial results.
Other expense, net of $6.2 million in the Current Quarter primarily resulted from foreign exchange losses of $12.6 million, partially offset by an insurance recovery of $4.5 million and a favorable interest adjustment to the Company’s pension liability of $1.7 million. Other income, net of $10.6 million in the Preceding Quarter primarily resulted from foreign exchange gains of $10.9 million.
Income tax benefit was $13.0 million in the Current Quarter compared to an income tax expense of $8.4 million in the Preceding Quarter. Income tax benefit in the Current Quarter was impacted by various discrete items including an $8.1 million tax benefit from double taxation relief, the expiration of the statute of limitation on uncertain tax positions in Nigeria and Trinidad of $4.1 million, and a $3.2 million tax benefit associated with an adjustment to deferred tax liabilities.

Segments
In the fourth quarter, the Company changed its segment reporting from a single reportable segment to three reportable segments: Offshore Energy Services, Government Services and Other Services. The Offshore Energy Services segment provides aviation services to, from and between offshore energy installations globally. The Government Services segment provides search and rescue (“SAR”) and support helicopter services to government agencies globally. The Other Services segment is primarily comprised of fixed wing services which provide transportation through scheduled passenger flights and aircraft charter services, dry-leasing of aircraft to third-party operators and part sales. Corporate includes unallocated overhead costs that are not directly associated with the Company’s three reportable segments. The change in segment reporting was the result of the recent expansion of the Company’s government services contracts and reevaluating the factors used to identify reportable segments which include end customer profile, management responsibility and contract dynamics.

Revenues from Offshore Energy Services were $113.1 million higher in the Current Year compared to the Prior Year.

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, net line on the statements of operations. These are related to the revaluation of certain 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.
Each £0.01 movement in the GBP/USD exchange rate would impact 2025E Adjusted EBITDA by +/- ~$1.2 million. The following table shows the GBP/USD exchange rate for each period presented.
2024A

Adjusted EBITDA $237 $230 - $260 $275 - $335
Average GBP/USD exchange rate 1.28 1.26 1.26
Outlook by Segment
Offshore Energy Services:
Increased activity in the offshore energy industry, a tighter equipment market, and inflationary cost pressures have driven meaningful rate increases, which we have continued to capture during contract renewal and new project tenders. Headwinds from continued supply chain shortages, particularly those related to the S92 heavy helicopters, are expected to persist in 2025. However, with current utilization levels for medium, super medium and heavy helicopters at or near 100%, coupled with unmet lift demand and long lead-times for new builds, we anticipate market conditions to remain constructive for our industry in 2025 and 2026. Additionally, the cadence of our contract renewals is such that more of the contracts would commence in late 2025 or 2026.
Europe region:
Though 2024 benefited from the full-year impact of a new contract in Norway and higher ad hoc activity on attractive rates in the UK, the North Sea is a mature market with limited growth opportunities. We expect activity in this region to remain mostly stable in 2025, though S92 supply chain challenges remain a risk.
Americas region:
Meaningful increases in our Americas market are largely attributed to the full-year impact of expanded operations in Brazil. The growing demand in Brazil offers additional opportunities, though the timing of these opportunities is weighted towards the back half of 2025, with full-year impacts expected in 2026. Activity is also expected to increase in the U.S. and Suriname.
Africa region:
Nigeria remains one of our most promising markets, as the business continues to absorb increasing demand in the region. The combination of increased utilization, higher rates and added capacity is fueling our growth in this market. Absent additional supply chain headwinds, we expect this momentum to continue in 2025.
Government Services:
Our Government Services segment typically involves short periods of investment followed by long periods of strong cash flows, and 2025 will be a year of transitioning to new contracts. Operations on the previously announced 10-year, approximately €670 million IRCG contract commenced in late 2024, and the last base is expected to fully transition in the second half of 2025. The transition to the previously announced, 10-year, approximately £1.6 billion UKSAR2G contract also began in late 2024, and the transition is expected to conclude at the end of 2026. Though the majority of capital expenditures will conclude in the first half of 2025, associated operating expenses during the transition period, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound sterling and Euro, and impacts of penalties due to availability, primarily related to supply chain challenges that are expected to persist in the near term, may not present the full earnings power and quality margins from this business until 2026 and beyond. We expect full-year impacts in subsequent years will contribute meaningfully to our financial results, and the strong margins, and stable, long-term cash flows with high credit quality customers will provide reliable capital returns well into the middle of the next decade.
6


Other Services:
Other Services has experienced growth in recent years from charter revenues in Australia, and we observed higher yields in scheduled passenger transport throughout the year, though pilot shortages remained challenging through this upturn. We believe the financial performance of this segment will remain consistent with or near current levels of activity throughout 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Allocation
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $247.5 million of unrestricted cash and $64.0 million of remaining availability under its amended asset-based credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) for total liquidity of $311.5 million. Borrowings under the ABL Facility are subject to certain conditions and requirements.
In the Current Quarter, purchases of property and equipment were $83.5 million, of which $2.7 million were maintenance capital expenditures, and cash proceeds from dispositions of property and equipment were $5.0 million. In the Preceding Quarter, purchases of property and equipment were $57.0 million, of which $8.0 million were maintenance capital expenditures, and cash proceeds from dispositions of property and equipment were $0.1 million. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow” for a reconciliation to operating cash flows.
Bristow is pleased to announce a new capital allocation framework with key priorities that include: (i) protect and maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity position; (ii) pursue high impact, high return growth opportunities; and (iii) return capital to shareholders via opportunistic share repurchases and initiate quarterly dividend payments in 2026. Understanding that the Offshore Energy Services segment is inherently volatile, the Company recognizes the importance of maintaining a strong balance sheet that can withstand challenging market down cycles. As such, Bristow intends to pay down debt to a balance of approximately $500 million gross debt by the end of 2026. Bristow’s Board of Directors has approved a new $125 million share repurchase program that will be deployed on an opportunistic basis. In addition, the Company intends to initiate a quarterly dividend program beginning in the first quarter of 2026, with an initial dividend payment of $0.125 per share ($0.50 per share annualized).

You should consider the following key factors when evaluating these forward-looking statements: the impact of supply chain disruptions and inflation and our ability to recoup rising costs in the rates we charge to our customers; our reliance on a limited number of helicopter manufacturers and suppliers and the impact of a shortfall in availability of aircraft components and parts required for maintenance and repairs of our helicopters, including significant delays in the delivery of parts for our S92 fleet; our reliance on a limited number of customers and the reduction of our customer base as a result of consolidation and/or the energy transition; public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, and any related government policies and actions; our inability to execute our business strategy for diversification efforts related to government services and advanced air mobility; the potential for cyberattacks or security breaches that could disrupt operations, compromise confidential or sensitive information, damage reputation, expose to legal liability, or cause financial losses; the possibility that we may be unable to maintain compliance with covenants in our financing agreements; global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices or other market conditions affecting oil and gas, including changes resulting from a public health crisis or from the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other producing countries; fluctuations in the demand for our services; the possibility of significant changes in foreign exchange rates and controls; potential effects of increased competition and the introduction of alternative modes of transportation and solutions; the possibility that portions of our fleet may be grounded for extended periods of time or indefinitely (including due to severe weather events); the possibility of political instability, civil unrest, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries where we operate or elsewhere; the possibility that we may be unable to re-deploy our aircraft to regions with greater demand; the existence of operating risks inherent in our business, including the possibility of declining safety performance; labor issues, including our inability to negotiate acceptable collective bargaining or union agreements with employees covered by such agreements; the possibility of changes in tax, environmental, trade, immigration and other laws and regulations and policies, including, without limitation, tariffs and actions of the governments that impact oil and gas operations, favor renewable energy projects or address climate change; any failure to effectively manage, and receive anticipated returns from, acquisitions, divestitures, investments, joint ventures and other portfolio actions; the possibility that we may be unable to dispose of older aircraft through sales into the aftermarket; the possibility that we may impair our long-lived assets and other assets, including inventory, property and equipment and investments in unconsolidated affiliates; general economic conditions, including interest rates or uncertainty in the capital and credit markets; the possibility that reductions in spending on aviation services by governmental agencies where we are seeking contracts could adversely affect or lead to modifications of the procurement process or that such reductions in spending could adversely affect search and rescue (“SAR”) contract terms or otherwise delay service or the receipt of payments under such contracts; and, the effectiveness of our environmental, social and governance initiatives.
The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider. All forward-looking statements in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements and are only made as of the date thereof. The forward-looking statements in this press release should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect our businesses, particularly those discussed in greater detail in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We disclaim any obligation or undertaking, other than as required by law, to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income 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, are non-GAAP measures, 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 United States (“GAAP”) (including the notes), included in the Company's filings with the SEC and posted on the Company's website.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as Earnings before Interest expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for non-cash gains and losses on the sale of assets, non-cash foreign exchange gains (losses) related to the revaluation of certain balance sheet items, and certain special items that occurred during the reported period, such as the amortization of PBH maintenance agreements that are non-cash within the period, gains on insurance claims, non-cash nonrecurring insurance adjustments and other special items which include professional service fees related to unusual litigation proceedings and other nonrecurring costs related to strategic activities. The professional services fees are primarily attorneys’ fees related to a litigation and arbitration matter that the Company is pursuing (where no gain contingency has been recorded or identified) that is unusual in nature and outside of the normal course of the Company’s continuing business operations. The other nonrecurring costs related to strategic activities are costs associated with financing transactions and proposed M&A transactions. These special costs are related to various pursuits that are not individually material to the Company and, as such, are aggregated for presentation. The Company views these matters and their related financial impacts on the Company’s operating performance as extraordinary and not reflective of the operational performance of the Company’s core business activities. In addition, the same costs are not reasonably likely to recur within two years nor have the same charges or gains occurred within the prior two years. 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 (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, 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.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited, in thousands).

The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for 2025 and 2026 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 projected Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to net income (GAAP) for 2025 or 2026.
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. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is Free Cash Flow adjusted to exclude costs paid in relation to certain special items which primarily include (i) professional service fees related to unusual litigation proceedings and (ii) other nonrecurring costs related to strategic activities. The professional services fees are primarily attorneys’ fees related to a litigation and arbitration matter that the Company is pursuing (where no gain contingency has been recorded or identified) that is unusual in nature and outside of the normal course of the Company’s continuing business operations. The other nonrecurring costs related to strategic activities are costs associated with financing transactions and proposed M&A transactions. These special costs are related to various pursuits that are not individually material to the Company and, as such, are aggregated for presentation. The Company views these matters and their related financial impacts on the Company’s operating performance as extraordinary and not reflective of the operational performance of the Company’s core business activities. In addition, the same costs are not reasonably likely to recur within two years nor have the same charges or gains occurred within the prior two years. 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. Neither Free Cash Flow nor Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a recognized term under GAAP. Accordingly, these measures should not be used as an indicator of, or an alternative to, net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. 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. As such, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (unaudited, in thousands).

Adjusted Operating Income by Segment
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) (“Adjusted Operating Income”) is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, PBH amortization and gains or losses on asset dispositions that occurred during the reported period. The Company includes Adjusted Operating Income to provide investors with a supplemental measure of each segment’s operating performance. Management believes that the use of Adjusted Operating Income is meaningful to investors because it provides information with respect to each segment’s ability to generate cash from its operations. Adjusted Operating Income is not a recognized term under GAAP. Accordingly, this measure should not be used as an indicator of, or an alternative to, operating income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as a measure of operating performance. Because the definition of Adjusted Operating Income (or similar measures) may vary among companies and industries, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation of operating income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted Operating Income for each segment and Corporate (unaudited, in thousands).

The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted Operating Income by Segment (non-GAAP) for 2025 and 2026 included in this release to projected operating 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 Operating Income by Segment due to the uncertainty regarding timing and estimates of such items. Therefore, the Company does not present a reconciliation of projected Adjusted Operating Income by Segment (non-GAAP) to operating income (GAAP) for 2025 or 2026.

3 Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward- looking statements are statements about our future business, strategy, operations, capabilities and results; financial projections; plans and objectives of our management, including our expectations regarding a quarterly dividend program and our intention to pay down debt; expected actions by us and by third parties, including our customers, competitors, vendors and regulators, and other matters. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes”, “belief”, “forecasts”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “projects”, “estimates”, “may”, “might”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “should” or other similar words; however, all statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact or historical financial results, are forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements reflect our views and assumptions on the date hereof regarding future events and operating performance. We believe that they are reasonable, but they involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, many of which may be beyond our control, that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause or contribute to such differences, include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in particular, the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of such report and those discussed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. You should consider the following key factors when evaluating these forward-looking statements: the impact of supply chain disruptions and inflation and our ability to recoup rising costs in the rates we charge to our customers; our reliance on a limited number of helicopter manufacturers and suppliers and the impact of a shortfall in availability of aircraft components and parts required for maintenance and repairs of our helicopters, including significant delays in the delivery of parts for our S92 fleet; our reliance on a limited number of customers and the reduction of our customer base as a result of consolidation and/or the energy transition; public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, and any related government policies and actions; our inability to execute our business strategy for diversification efforts related to government services and advanced air mobility; the potential for cyberattacks or security breaches that could disrupt operations, compromise confidential or sensitive information, damage reputation, expose to legal liability, or cause financial losses; the possibility that we may be unable to maintain compliance with covenants in our financing agreements; global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices or other market conditions affecting oil and gas, including changes resulting from a public health crisis or from the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producing countries; fluctuations in the demand for our services; the possibility of significant changes in foreign exchange rates and controls; potential effects of increased competition and the introduction of alternative modes of transportation and solutions; the possibility that portions of our fleet may be grounded for extended periods of time or indefinitely (including due to severe weather events); the possibility of political instability, civil unrest, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries where we operate or elsewhere; the possibility that we may be unable to re-deploy our aircraft to regions with greater demand; the existence of operating risks inherent in our business, including the possibility of declining safety performance; labor issues, including our inability to negotiate acceptable collective bargaining or union agreements with employees covered by such agreements; the possibility of changes in tax, environmental, trade, immigration and other laws and regulations and policies, including, without limitation, tariffs and actions of the governments that impact oil and gas operations, favor renewable energy projects or address climate change; any failure to effectively manage, and receive anticipated returns from, acquisitions, divestitures, investments, joint ventures and other portfolio actions; the possibility that we may be unable to dispose of older aircraft through sales into the aftermarket; the possibility that we may impair our long-lived assets and other assets, including inventory, property and equipment and investments in unconsolidated affiliates; general economic conditions, including interest rates or uncertainty in the capital and credit markets; the possibility that reductions in spending on aviation services by governmental agencies where we are seeking contracts could adversely affect or lead to modifications of the procurement process or that such reductions in spending could adversely affect search and rescue (“SAR”) contract terms or otherwise delay service or the receipt of payments under such contracts; and, the effectiveness of our environmental, social and governance initiatives. The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider. All forward-looking statements in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements and are only made as of the date thereof. The forward-looking statements in this presentation should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect our businesses, particularly those discussed in greater detail in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We disclaim any obligation or undertaking, other than as required by law, to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This presentation includes an illustrative calculation of the Company’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”). The Company’s NAV is based upon the market value of the Company’s owned helicopters (as determined by third-party appraisals) plus the book value of the Company’s other assets less the Company’s debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, and other liabilities. For the purposes of this NAV calculation, the market value of the Company's helicopters is pulled directly from valuation specialists’ and third-party analysts’ reports. When using third party reports, the market value is as of the date of such report and is not updated to reflect factors that may impact the valuation since the date of such report, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, oil and gas prices and the balance of supply and demand of helicopters. There is no assurance that market value of an asset represents the amount that the Company could obtain from an unaffiliated third-party in an arm’s length sale of the asset, the fleet or the Company.


 
4 Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation In addition to financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this presentation includes certain non-GAAP measures including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, Net Debt, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Each of these measures, 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 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 and noted in the applicable reconciliation. 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 the Company’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. This presentation provides a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the outlook periods included in this presentation to projected net income (GAAP) and Adjusted Operating Income (non-GAAP) to operating 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 and projected Adjusted Operating Income due to the uncertainty regarding timing and estimates of such items. Therefore, the Company does not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures for the outlook periods presented. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) (“Adjusted Operating Income”) is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, PBH amortization and gains or losses on asset dispositions that occurred during the reported period. The Company includes Adjusted Operating Income to provide investors with a supplemental measure of each segments operating performance. Management believes that the use of Adjusted Operating Income is meaningful to investors because it provides information with respect to each segments ability to ability to generate cash from its operations. Adjusted Operating Income is not a recognized term under GAAP. Accordingly, this measure should not be used as an indicator of, or an alternative to, operating income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as a measure of operating performance. Because the definition of Adjusted Operating Income (or similar measures) may vary among companies and industries, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free Cash Flow represents the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is Free Cash Flow adjusted to exclude costs paid in relation to certain special items which primarily include (i) professional service fees related to unusual litigation proceedings and (ii) other nonrecurring costs related to strategic activities. 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. As such, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company also presents Net Debt, which is a non-GAAP measure, defined as total principal balance on borrowings less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Debt is total debt. Since Net Debt is not a recognized term under GAAP, it should not be used as an indicator of, or an alternative to, total debt. Management uses Net Debt to determine the Company’s outstanding debt obligations that would not be readily satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. Management believes this metric is useful to investors in determining the Company’s leverage position since the Company has the ability to, and may decide to, use a portion of its cash and cash equivalents to reduce debt. A reconciliation of each of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt is included elsewhere in this presentation.


 
5 Recent Events After further increasing revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance in Q3, Bristow beat its increased Adjusted EBITDA guidance. Bristow affirmed its 2025 and 2026 outlook ranges and issued new guidance by segment. See slides 16-18 for details. Beats Increased 2024 Guidance and Affirms 2025 and 2026 Outlook Announces New Capital Allocation Framework Bristow announced a new capital allocation framework with key priorities that include: (i) protect and maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity position; (ii) pursue high impact, high return growth opportunities; and (iii) return capital to shareholders via opportunistic share repurchases and quarterly dividend payments. See slide 19 for details. Bristow has realigned its business segments. The Company went from a single reportable segment to three reportable segments: Offshore Energy Services, Government Services, and Other Services, due to the recent expansion of Bristow’s Government Services business and reevaluating the factors used to identify reportable segments which include end customer profile, management responsibility and contract dynamics. This change is expected to provide investors with more information and visibility into each of the Company’s end markets. An introduction of each segment and full year results are reflected in slides 10-15. Business Segments Commences Operations on New Government Contracts Bristow commenced operations on the new Irish Coast Guard (“IRCG”) contract in late 2024, with the first base coming online in Shannon Airport in County Clare. Bristow expects to complete the transition in the second half of 2025. Transition to the 2nd Generation UK SAR Contract (“UKSAR2G”) also commenced in late 2024 and is expected to conclude by the end of 2026. See slide 13 for details.

Revenues were $11.6 million lower than the Preceding Quarter(1) primarily due to lower utilization, aircraft availability and unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts across all segments, partially offset by the commencement of the IRCG and UKSAR2G contracts. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.3 million lower in the Current Quarter(1) due to these lower revenues, partially offset by lower operating expenses of $9.6 million. Total Revenues Adjusted EBITDA(3) Revenues were $118.1 million higher than the Prior Year(2) primarily due to new contracts, higher rates and higher utilization in Offshore Energy Services (“OES”) and Other Services, partially offset by lower revenues from Government Services due to a transition to the long-term contract in the Dutch Caribbean. Operating expenses were $51.7 million higher due to increased personnel costs, repairs and maintenance and other operating costs resulting from increased activity. The growth in our OES business was the primary driver behind the $66.3 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the Current Year(2). $365 $354 $300 $325 $350 $375 Q3 Q4 $ in m ill io ns Quarter $1,297 $1,415 $1,200 $1,250 $1,300 $1,350 $1,400 $1,450 2023 2024 $ in m ill io ns Full Year $60 $58 $5 $15 $25 $35 $45 $55 $65 Q3 Q4 $ in m ill io ns Quarter $171 $237 $0 $50 $100 $150 $200 $250 2023 2024 $ in m ill io ns Full Year

11 Offshore Energy Services See slide 25 for a description of Adjusted Operating Income and reconciliation to Operating Income. Total Revenues Adjusted Operating Income Revenues were $113.1 million higher in the Current Year. Revenues in Africa were $47.4 million higher due to utilization and increased rates. Revenues in the Americas were $36.1 million higher primarily due to the commencement of new contracts in Brazil and higher utilization. Revenues in Europe were $29.7 million higher due to the commencement of a new contract in Norway. The $84.0 million increase in Adjusted Operating Income was primarily due to the higher revenues noted above, partially offset by higher repairs and maintenance costs of $20.1 million and operating personnel costs of $8.7 million, both of which were primarily due to increased activity in the Current Year. $89 $173 $0 $50 $100 $150 $200 2023 2024 $ in m ill io ns $853 $966 $700 $750 $800 $850 $900 $950 $1,000 2023 2024 $ in m ill io ns

18 Outlook By Segment Please refer to Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements on slide 3, which discusses risks that could cause actual results to differ materially. Offshore Energy Services Market conditions are expected to remain constructive for our industry in 2025, given current utilization levels coupled with unmet lift demand and long lead-times for new builds. Increased activity and a tighter equipment market have further driven meaningful rate increases, which we have continued to capture during contract renewal and new project tenders. Headwinds from continued supply chain shortages are expected to persist in 2025. Additionally, the cadence of our contract renewals are such that more of the contracts would commence in late 2025 or 2026. Europe region: • Though 2024 benefited from the full-year impact of a new contract in Norway and higher ad hoc activity on attractive rates in the UK, the North Sea is a mature market with limited growth opportunities • We expect activity in this region to remain mostly stable in 2025, though S92 supply chain challenges remain a risk Americas region: • Meaningful increases in our Americas market largely attributed to expanded operations in Brazil, which offers additional opportunities, though the timing of these opportunities is weighted towards the back half of 2025, with full-year impacts expected in 2026. • Activity is also expected to increase in the U.S. and Suriname Africa region: • Nigeria remains one of our most promising markets, as the business continues to absorb increasing demand in the region • The combination of increased utilization, higher rates and added capacity is fueling our growth in this market • Absent additional supply chain headwinds, we expect this momentum to continue in 2025 2025 will be a year of transitioning to new contracts The ~€670 million IRCG contract commenced in late 2024 and is expected to fully transition in the second half of 2025. The £1.6 billion UKSAR2G contract transition also began in 2024 with completion expected by the end of 2026. Typically involves short periods of investment followed by long periods of strong cash flows. Though the majority of capital expenditures will conclude in the first half of 2025, associated operating expenses during the transition period, a strong U.S. dollar relative to the British pound sterling and Euro, and supply chain challenges may not present the full earnings power and quality margins from this business until 2026 and beyond. We expect full-year impacts in subsequent years will contribute meaningfully to our financial results, and the strong margins, stable, long-term cash flows with high credit quality customers will provide reliable capital returns well into the middle of the next decade. Government Services We believe the financial performance of this business will remain consistent with or near current levels of activity throughout 2025 Other Services has experienced growth in recent years from charter revenues in Australia, and we observed higher yields in scheduled passenger transport throughout the year, though pilot shortages remained challenging through this upturn.
