Bristow Group Inc. (NYSE:BRS) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On May 23, 2017, Bristow Group Inc. (the Company) issued a press
release that summarized its financial results for the three and
twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2017 (the Financial
Results). This press release was issued in anticipation of a
conference call and QA session starting at 10:00 a.m. ET (9:00
a.m. CT) on Wednesday, May 24, 2017, 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 EBITDA, adjusted benefit
(provision) for income taxes, adjusted net income (loss) and
adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share (collectively, the
Non-GAAP measures). Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking our
net income (loss) and adjusting for interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, benefit (provision) for income
taxes, gain (loss) on disposal of assets and special items, if
any. Additionally, our net income (loss) and diluted earnings
(loss) 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 net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss)
per share. Management believes that the Non-GAAP measures provide
relevant and useful information, which is widely used by
analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by
our management in assessing both consolidated and business unit
performance. Adjusted EBITDA provides us with an understanding of
one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and
financing transactions and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA should
not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us
for investing in the growth of our business. Adjusted net income
(loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share present our
consolidated results excluding asset dispositions and special
items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our helicopter
services operations. Adjusted benefit (provision) for income
taxes excludes the tax impact of these items. We believe that
these measures are useful supplemental measures because net
income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share include asset
disposition effects and special items, and inclusion of these
items does not reflect the predictive ongoing operational
earnings of our business. The Non-GAAP measures are not
calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and other
companies in our industry may calculate these measures
differently than we do. As a result, these financial measures
have limitations as analytical and comparative tools and you
should not consider these items in isolation, or as a substitute
for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In
calculating these financial measures, we make certain adjustments
that are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be
inaccurate. In addition, in evaluating these financial measures,
you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses
similar to those eliminated in this presentation. Our
presentation of the Non-GAAP measures should not be construed as
an inference that our future results will be unaffected by
unusual or special items. 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.
