Note 1 —
BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONSOLIDATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bristow Group Inc. and its consolidated entities. Unless the context otherwise indicates, any references to the “Company”, “Bristow”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Bristow Group Inc. and its consolidated entities.
The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, has been prepared by the Company in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information reporting on Quarterly Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from that which would appear in the annual consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements on this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Accounting Considerations
Basis of Consolidation —
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bristow Group Inc., its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and entities that meet the criteria of variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification —
Certain amounts reported for prior periods in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
Accounting Estimates —
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions; however, they include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
Recent Accounting Standards
— The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were assessed and determined as either not applicable or not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 -
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.
This ASU applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with
Topic 280
and requires the disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis, incremental disclosures of measures of segment profit or loss and the identification of the Company’s chief operating decision maker. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements
.

no
outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility nor had the Company made any draws during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility in the aggregate face amount of $
3.1
million were outstanding as of June 30, 2024.
Note 5 —
FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these items.
The Company’s debt was measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements using discounted cash flow analysis. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value, and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The carrying and fair values of the Company’s debt were as follows (in thousands):

(1)
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying values of unamortized deferred financing fees related to the
6.875
%
Senior Notes were $
5.1
million and $
5.8
million, respectively.
(2)
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying values of unamortized deferred financing fees related to the UKSAR Debt were $
9.6
million
and $
8.4
million, respectively.
(3)
The IRCG Debt was entered into in June 2024. Given the close proximity of the reporting date and entry into the financing agreements, and the variable EURIBOR attached to the IRCG Debt, the Company believes the fair value of this debt is materially the same as the carrying amount as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the carrying values of unamortized deferred financing fees related to the IRCG Debt were $
2.0
million.

Note 6 —
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
From time to time, the Company may use derivatives to partially offset its business exposure to foreign currency risks on expected future cash flows. The Company enters into master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. The derivative agreements do not contain credit-risk-related contingent features. There are no amounts of related financial collateral received or pledged. The Company does not use any of its derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company may use foreign exchange options or forward contracts to hedge a portion of its forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions.
These foreign exchange hedge contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities of up to approximately
12
months. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total notional amounts of outstanding cash flow hedges were $
148.8
million and $
254.7
million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the estimated net amount of losses expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months is $
2.6
million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no net gains or losses recognized in earnings relating to hedges of forecasted transactions that did not occur.
The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s derivatives is based on valuation methods which project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves and foreign currency rates.
The fair value of derivative instruments on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows, presented on a gross basis (in thousands):

315.8
million, payable beginning in 2024.
Included in these commitments are orders to purchase
eleven
AW189 heavy helicopters,
four
AW139 medium helicopters,
five
AW169 light twin helicopters and
five
H135 light twin helicopters. The AW189 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered between 2024 and 2026; the AW139 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered in 2024; and the H135 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered between 2024 and 2025. Delivery dates for the AW169 helicopters have yet to be determined. In addition, the Company has outstanding options to purchase up to
ten
additional AW189 helicopters and
ten
additional H135 helicopters. If these options are exercised, the AW189 helicopters would be scheduled for delivery between 2026 and 2028, and the H135 helicopters would be scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2028. The Company may, from time to time, purchase aircraft for which it has no orders.
The Company may terminate $
33.8
million of its unfunded capital commitments without further liability other than aggregate liquidated damages of approximately $
1.1
million.

General Litigation and Disputes
The Company operates in jurisdictions internationally where it is subject to risks that include government action to obtain additional tax revenues. In a number of these jurisdictions, political unrest, the lack of well-developed legal systems and legislation that is not clear enough in its wording to determine the ultimate application, can make it difficult to determine whether legislation may impact the Company’s earnings until such time as a clear court or other ruling exists. The Company operates in jurisdictions currently where amounts may be due to governmental bodies that the Company is not currently recording liabilities for as it is unclear how broad or narrow legislation may ultimately be interpreted. The Company believes that payment of amounts in these instances is not probable at this time, but is reasonably possible.
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its condensed consolidated financial statements related thereto as appropriate. It is possible that a change in its estimates related to these exposures could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs or uninsured losses, if any, would have a material effect on its business, consolidated financial position or results of operations.

INCOME TAXES
During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $
9.2
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of
24.7
%, and income tax benefit of $
14.2
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of
89.7
%, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $
11.8
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of
25.2
%, and income tax benefit of $
19.3
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of
85.9
%, respectively.
The effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is impacted by the Company’s global mix of earnings in the current year, adjustments to valuation allowances against future realization of losses and deductible business interest expense, partially offset by the recognition of certain deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by a lower U.S. statutory rate compared to higher foreign tax rates as a result of non-U.S. earnings in certain jurisdictions, adjustments to valuation allowances against future realization of deductible business interest expense and the recognition of certain deferred tax assets.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, included elsewhere herein, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2024 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Unless the context otherwise indicates, in this MD&A, any references to the “Company”, “Bristow”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Bristow Group Inc. and its consolidated entities.
In the discussions that follow, the terms “Current Quarter” and “Preceding Quarter” refer to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, and “Current Period” and “Prior Year Period” refer to the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “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 (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are statements about our future business, strategy, operations, capabilities and results; financial projections; plans and objectives of our management; 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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 we are filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in particular, the risks discussed in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this report and those discussed in other documents we file with 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 (including COVID-19) 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;
14
Table of Contents
•
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;
•
the possibility of changes in tax, environmental and other laws and regulations and policies, including, without limitation, 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and are only made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
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.

Overview
Bristow Group Inc. is the leading global provider of innovative and sustainable vertical flight solutions. We primarily provide aviation services to a broad base of offshore energy companies and government entities. Our aviation services include personnel transportation, SAR, medevac, fixed wing transportation, unmanned systems and ad-hoc helicopter services. Our energy customers charter our helicopters primarily to transport personnel to, from and between onshore bases and offshore production platforms, drilling rigs and other installations.
Our core business of providing aviation services to leading global energy companies and government entities provides us with geographic and customer diversity that helps mitigate risks associated with a single market or customer. We currently have customers in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, the Dutch Caribbean, the Falkland Islands, India, Ireland, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Spain, Suriname, Trinidad, the UK and the U.S.
Certain of our operations are subject to seasonal factors. For example, operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico are often at their highest levels from April to September, as daylight hours increase, and are at their lowest levels from December to February, as daylight hours decrease. Our North Sea operations also are subject to seasonality as drilling activity is lower during the winter months due to harsh weather and shorter days. See “Segment, Markets and Seasonality” in Part I, Item 1, “Business” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on seasonality.
Recent Developments
IRCG Debt Facility
In June 2024, the Company entered into a long-term equipment financing for an aggregate amount of up to €100.0 million with National Westminster Bank Plc as the original lender and UK Export Finance guaranteeing 80% of the facility (“IRCG Debt”, formerly known as “UKEF Debt”). The financing will be used primarily to support the Company’s acquisition of five new AW189 aircraft to service the Irish Coast Guard (“IRCG”) contract. As of July 31, 2024, the Company had drawn approximately €46.0 million under this facility.
Bristow Releases 2023 Sustainability Report
In May 2024, the Company released its 2023 Sustainability Report, which underscores its ongoing commitment to responsible growth and sustainable practices, as well as aligning with internationally recognized frameworks and standards to offer stakeholders a transparent view of the Company's efforts. The report highlights the Company’s updates to its materiality assessment, as the Company strives to ensure that its sustainability efforts remain aligned with stakeholder expectations as well as the most relevant areas of potential impact. In 2023, the Company achieved a 50% reduction in Lost Work Cases and a 39% decrease in Total Recordable Incident Rate as compared to the previous year, reaffirming its commitment to safety as its highest operational priority. The Company continues its role in the development and certification of aircraft powered by electric and hybrid propulsion technologies that will create efficiencies and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Information on our website, including the Company’s 2023 Sustainability Report, is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Current Quarter compared to Preceding Quarter
Operating revenues.
Operating revenues were $23.1 million higher in the Current Quarter compared to the Preceding Quarter.
Operating revenues from offshore energy services were $17.8 million higher in the Current Quarter.
Operating revenues from offshore energy services in the Americas were $9.2 million higher in the Current Quarter primarily due to higher utilization and higher revenues of $2.9 million from Cougar Helicopters Inc. (“Cougar”), which transitioned from cash basis recognition to an accrual basis of accounting for lease payments in the Current Quarter.
Operating revenues from offshore energy services in Africa were $8.3 million higher in the Current Quarter primarily due to higher utilization and increased rates.
Operating revenues from offshore energy services in Europe were $0.2 million higher in the Current Quarter. Revenues in Norway were $2.0 million higher primarily due to higher utilization, partially offset by the weakening of the Norwegian krone (“NOK”) relative to the U.S. dollar. Revenues in the UK were $1.8 million lower primarily due to lower utilization and lower maintenance services revenues.
Operating revenues from government services were $2.6 million lower in the Current Quarter primarily due to a change in monthly standing charge (“MSC”) rates and penalties related to lower availability.
Operating revenues from fixed wing services were $8.3 million higher in the Current Quarter primarily due to higher utilization and increased rates.
Operating expenses.
Operating expenses were $0.9 million lower than the Preceding Quarter. Operating personnel salaries were $6.3 million lower primarily due to seasonal personnel cost variations in Norway and an adjustment for tax equalization in Suriname. Leased-in equipment costs were $0.8 million lower primarily due to the termination of an aircraft lease in Norway. Insurance costs were $0.4 million lower in the Current Quarter. These decreases were partially offset by higher repairs and maintenance costs of $3.4 million related to higher power-by-the-hour (“PBH”) expenses from increased flight hours and higher inventory write-offs. Other operating costs were $1.9 million higher primarily due to a reclassification of subcontractor costs. Fuel costs were $1.2 million higher primarily due to increased flight hours.
General and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $1.6 million higher than the Preceding Quarter primarily due to higher professional services fees, partially offset by lower personnel and insurance costs.
Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates.
During the Current Quarter, the Company recognized earnings of $0.7 million from unconsolidated affiliates compared to earnings of $1.4 million in the Preceding Quarter.

Current Period compared to Prior Year Period
Operating revenues.
Operating revenues were $77.4 million higher in the Current Period compared to the Prior Year Period.
Operating revenues from offshore energy services were $82.4 million higher in the Current Period.
Operating revenues from offshore energy services in the Americas were $34.4 million higher in the Current Period primarily due to higher utilization and increased rates. Revenues in Canada were higher primarily due to increased lease payments from Cougar and the transition from cash basis recognition to an accrual basis of accounting for lease payments during the Current Period.
Operating revenues from offshore energy services in Europe were $26.6 million higher in the Current Period. Revenues in Norway were $24.5 million higher primarily due to the commencement of a new contract and higher utilization. Revenues in the UK were $2.2 million higher primarily due to increased rates, partially offset by lower utilization.
Operating revenues from offshore energy services in Africa were $21.3 million higher primarily due to higher utilization and increased rates.
Operating revenues from government services were $8.1 million lower in the Current Period primarily due to a change in rates after transitioning to the long-term contract with the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard (“DCCG”) from the interim period.
Operating revenues from fixed wing services were $3.3 million higher in the Current Period primarily due to higher utilization, partially offset by the weakening of the Australian dollar (“AUD”) relative to the U.S. dollar.
Operating expenses.
Operating expenses were $26.4 million higher in the Current Period. Repairs and maintenance costs were $11.4 million higher due to higher PBH expenses related to increased flight hours and the timing of repairs, partially offset by lower inventory write-offs. Other operating costs were $6.2 million higher in the Current Period primarily due to the commencement of new offshore energy services contracts. Personnel costs were $5.8 million higher primarily due to an increase in headcount in Norway and Africa. Leased-in equipment costs were $3.2 million higher due to additional leased-in helicopters in support of new contracts in Norway. Fuel costs were $1.0 million higher due to increased flight hours. These increases were partially offset by lower insurance costs of $1.1 million.
General and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $3.1 million lower primarily due to lower insurance costs and professional services fees, partially offset by higher personnel costs.
Interest income.
Interest income was $1.5 million higher than the Prior Year Period primarily due to higher interest rates and income from sales-type leases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, meeting our capital commitments (including the purchase of aircraft and other equipment) and the payment of debt service obligations. In addition, we may use our liquidity to fund acquisitions, repurchase stock or debt securities or make other investments. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash balances and cash flows from operations and, from time to time, we may obtain additional liquidity through the issuance of equity or debt or other financing options or through asset sales.

(1,827)
$
52,506
Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $35.5 million higher in the Current Period primarily due to an increase in operating income before depreciation and gains (losses) on asset dispositions. Working capital uses of $19.1 million in the Current Period were primarily due to an increase in accounts receivables related to the timing of payments from customers, increases in inventory to mitigate risks related to supply chain constraints and decreases in payables and accrued liabilities primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors. Working capital sources of $10.0 million in the Prior Year Period were primarily due to decreased receivables and prepaid balances and increased liabilities.
Investing Activities
During the Current Period, net cash used in investing activities was $110.5 million primarily consisting of:
•
Capital expenditures of $114.9 million primarily related to payments for aircraft, purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements, and
•
Proceeds of $4.4 million primarily from the sale of aircraft and other assets.
24
Table of Contents
During the Prior Year Period, net cash used in investing activities was $17.0 million primarily consisting of:
•
Capital expenditures of $43.8 million primarily related to deposit payments for aircraft, purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements, and
•
Proceeds of $26.8 million primarily from the sale of aircraft and other assets.
Financing Activities
During the Current Period, net cash provided by financing activities was $43.6 million primarily consisting of:
•
Proceeds from borrowings of $57.0 million, partially offset by
•
Net repayments of debt of $7.3 million,
•
Stock repurchases of $3.9 million, and
•
Payments on debt issuance costs of $2.2 million.
During the Prior Year Period, net cash provided by financing activities was $28.9 million primarily consisting of:
•
Proceeds from borrowings of $169.5 million, partially offset by
•
Net repayments of debt of $135.6 million primarily related to the principal of secured equipment term loans,
•
Payments on debt issuance costs of $2.7 million, and
•
Stock repurchases of $2.4 million.
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes
The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency are reflected in a separate line on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Through our foreign operations we are exposed to currency fluctuations, and changes in the value of the GBP and NOK relative to the U.S. dollar have the most significant impacts to the effect of exchange rate changes on our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.
Material Cash Requirements
The factors that materially affect our overall liquidity include cash from or used to fund operations, capital expenditure commitments, debt service, pension funding, adequacy of bank lines of credit and our ability to attract capital on satisfactory terms. We believe that our cash flows from operating activities will be adequate to meet our working capital requirements. To support our capital expenditure program and/or other liquidity requirements, we may use any combination of operating cash flows, unrestricted cash balances, borrowings under our ABL Facility, proceeds from sales of assets, issue debt or equity, or other financing options.
As of June 30, 2024, approximately 89% of our total cash balance was held outside the U.S. Most of our cash held outside the U.S. could be repatriated to the U.S., and any such repatriation could be subject to additional taxes. If cash held by non-U.S. operations is required for funding operations in the U.S., we may make a provision for additional taxes in connection with repatriating this cash, which is not expected to have a significant impact on our results of operations.
We have no near-term debt maturities, other than the current portion of long-term debt of $15.9 million, and believe that our cash flows from operations and other sources of liquidity will continue to be sufficient in fulfilling our capital requirements and other obligations. Our long-term liquidity is dependent upon our ability to generate operating profits sufficient to meet our requirements for working capital, debt service obligations, capital expenditures and a reasonable return on investment. As of June 30, 2024, we had $178.6 million of unrestricted cash and $67.8 million of remaining availability under our ABL Facility for total liquidity of $246.4 million.
In January 2024, we entered into a long-term equipment financing to upsize the UKSAR Debt by an aggregate amount of up to £55 million. As of June 30, 2024, we had drawn approximately £26.1 million under this facility.
In June 2024, we entered into a long-term equipment financing for an aggregate amount of up to €100.0 million with National Westminster Bank Plc as the original lender and UK Export Finance guaranteeing 80% of the facility (“IRCG Debt”, formerly known as “UKEF Debt”). The financing will be used, among other items, to support the Company’s acquisition of five new AW189 aircraft to service the IRCG contract. As of June 30, 2024, we had drawn approximately €22.7 million under this facility.
25
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2024, our total principal debt balance, net of deferred financing fees, was $594.2 million, primarily comprised of the 6.875% Senior Notes due in March 2028 and the UKSAR Debt and IRCG Debt maturing in March 2036 and June 2031, respectively.
We plan to use a combination of cash on hand, operating cash flows, new debt financing and aircraft leasing to fund our projected future capital expenditures, which includes our aircraft purchase commitments, infrastructure and other growth expenditure plans, primarily in support of new long term contracts such as the UKSAR2G and IRCG, among other growth opportunities.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We have various contractual obligations that are recorded as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and other executory contracts, are not recognized as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2024, we had unfunded capital commitments of $315.8 million, consisting primarily of agreements to purchase eleven AW189 heavy helicopters, four AW139 medium helicopters, five AW169 light twin helicopters and five H135 light twin helicopters. The AW189 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered between 2024 and 2026; the AW139 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered in 2024; and the H135 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered between 2024 and 2025. Delivery dates for the AW169 helicopters have yet to be determined. In addition, the Company has outstanding options to purchase up to 10 additional AW189 helicopters and 10 additional H135 helicopters. If these options are exercised, the AW189 helicopters would be scheduled for delivery between 2026 and 2028, and the H135 helicopters would be scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2028. The Company may, from time to time, purchase aircraft for which it has no orders.
As of June 30, 2024, $33.8 million of our unfunded capital commitments (inclusive of deposits paid on options not yet exercised) may be terminated without further liability other than aggregate liquidated damages of approximately $1.1 million. If we do not exercise our rights to cancel these capital commitments, we expect to finance the remaining acquisition costs for these helicopters through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operating activities, asset sales and financing options.
Lease Obligations
From time to time we may, under favorable market conditions and when necessary, enter into opportunistic aircraft lease agreements in support of our global operations.
We have non-cancelable operating leases in connection with the lease of certain equipment, including leases for aircraft, and land and facilities used in our operations. The related lease agreements, which range from non-cancelable to month-to-month terms, generally provide for fixed monthly rentals and can also include renewal options. As of June 30, 2024, aggregate undiscounted future payments under all non-cancelable operating leases that have initial or remaining terms in excess of one year were as follows (in thousands):

Selected Financial Information on Guarantors of Securities
On February 25, 2021, Bristow Group Inc. (“the Parent”) issued its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2028. The 6.875% Senior Notes, issued under an indenture, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment by a number of subsidiaries of the Parent (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Parent is a holding company with no significant assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries. In order to meet its financial needs and obligations, the Parent relies exclusively on income from dividends and other cash flow from such subsidiaries. The subsidiary guarantees provide that, in the event of a default on the 6.875% Senior Notes, the holders of the 6.875% Senior Notes may institute legal proceedings directly against the Guarantors to enforce the guarantees without first proceeding against the Parent.
None of the non-Guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent are under any direct obligation to pay or otherwise fund amounts due on the 6.875% Senior Notes or the guarantees, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. If such subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to the Parent or Guarantors and sufficient cash or liquidity is not otherwise available, the Parent or Guarantors may not be able to make principal and interest payments on their outstanding debt, including the 6.875% Senior Notes or the guarantees. The following selected financial information of the Guarantors presents a sufficient financial position of the Parent to continue to fulfill its obligations under the requirements of the 6.875% Senior Notes. This selected financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes (in thousands).

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management evaluated, with reasonable assurance, the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of our business, we are involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining our potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in our financial statements related thereto as appropriate. It is possible that a change in our estimates related to these exposures could occur, but we do not expect any such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
