Note 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONSOLIDATION AND 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, 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. TheIn August 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year endsfrom March 31st to December 31st. Notwithstanding such change, for purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s fiscal year assumes a March 31st fiscal year end and fiscal years are referenced based on the end of such period. Therefore, the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, is referred to as “fiscal year 2023”. These condensed consolidated financial statements 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 31, 2022.
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 fiscal year.
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.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Accounting Considerations
Maintenance and Repairs — The Company generally charges maintenance and repair costs, including major aircraft component overhaul costs, to earnings as the costs are incurred. However, certain major aircraft components, such as engines and transmissions, are maintained by third-party vendors under contractual agreements also referred to as power-by-the-hour (“PBH”) maintenance agreements. Under these agreements, the Company is charged an agreed amount per hour of flying time related to maintenance, repair and overhaul of the parts and components covered. The costs charged under these contractual agreements are recognized in the period in which the flight hours occur. To the extent that the Company has not yet been billed for costs incurred under these arrangements, these costs are included in accrued maintenance and repairs on its consolidated balance sheets. From time to time, the Company receives credits from its original equipment manufacturers. The Company records these credits as a reduction in maintenance expense when the credits are utilized in lieu of cash payments for purchases or services.
In the event the Company places a helicopter in a PBH program after a maintenance period has begun, it may be necessary to pay an initial buy-in charge based on hours flown since the previous maintenance event. This buy-in charge is normally recorded as a prepaid expense and amortized as an operating expense over the remaining PBH contract period. If a helicopter is sold or otherwise removed from a program before the scheduled maintenance work is carried out, the Company may be able to recover part of its payments to the PBH provider, in which case the Company records a reduction to operating expense.

During the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company entered into and amended 2two existing PBH agreements with maintenance service providers for its AW139 helicopter fleet. The terms of these agreements included a buy-in payable of approximately $55 million for the hours flown on the aircraft prior to entry into the PBH agreements. The buy-in amount for the transaction is reflected in other long-term assets with the amount due for amortization within a year reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts owed but not yet paid are reflected in accrued maintenance and repairs on the condensed consolidatedThe balance sheet, with the first payment due in July 2022 and the final payment concluding in December 2022. In future periods, a portion of the balance will beis amortized through operating expense on the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the contract term. As of September 30, 2022, $31.2 million of the buy-in had been paid, with the remaining $24.2 million payable due in December 2022, included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in accrued maintenance and repairs.
During the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company also wrote off $5.2 million of intangible assets related to legacy AW139 airframe agreements in connection with the new PBH agreements. This loss is reflected on the loss on impairment line of the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates — The Company has a 25% economic interest in Petroleum Air Services (“PAS”), an Egyptian corporation that provides helicopter and fixed wing transportation to the offshore energy industry and other general aviation services in Egypt. During the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, upon evaluating its investment in PAS, the Company identified an indicator for impairment due to a decline in PAS’s performance. As a result, the Company performed a fair valuation of its investment in PAS using a market approach that relied on significant Level III inputs due to the nature of unobservable inputs that required significant judgment and assumptions. The market approach utilized two methods, each yielding similar valuation outcomes through the use of a multiple relevant to each method, derived from select guideline public companies, and an expected dividend rate or earnings of PAS. This resulted in a $16.0 million loss on impairment recorded during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the investment in PAS was $17.0 million and is included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in investment in unconsolidated affiliates. PAS is a cost method investment.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU 2021-10 - Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 applies to business entities that account for a transaction with a government by applying a grant or contribution accounting model and increases the transparency of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of government assistance received. Our adoption of this ASU, effective April 1, 2022, had no material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 - Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 provides specific guidance on how to recognize and measure acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in business combinations. Our adoption of this ASU, effective April 1, 2022, had no material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On August 2, 2022, the acquisition of British International Helicopter Services Limited (“BIH”) was successfully completed, in an all cash transaction for $12.7 million. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The Company will integrate BIH into its United Kingdom (“U.K.”) operations, within the government services line of service, and BIH will adopt the Bristow name and brand throughout its operations. BIH delivers combined search and rescue (“SAR”) and support helicopter services for the U.K. Ministry of Defence (“MOD”) with operations in the Falkland Islands and delivers fleet operational sea training helicopter support for the Royal Navy in the U.K. The acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company’s global government services offering.
The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition,
August 2, 2022 (in thousands):
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents$109 
Accounts receivable2,197 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets2,464

Accrued wages, benefits and related taxes260 
Other accrued liabilities1,010 
Deferred taxes802 
Total liabilities$3,602 
Net assets acquired$12,708 
The acquisition resulted in $7.0 million amortizable intangible assets associated with the two BIH customer contracts acquired. These intangible assets will be amortized over the life of the contracts and are included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other assets. There were no material transaction related costs.
Consistent with the guidelines of ASC 805, if the initial accounting for the business combination has not concluded by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate may be recorded. The Company may record any material adjustments to the initial amounts recorded based on new information obtained that would have existed as of the date of the acquisition within a year of the acquisition date. The Company is continuing to analyze and assess relevant information to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The pro forma results were not included as the impact was not material to the Company’s financial statements.

Contract Assets, Liabilities and Receivables
The Company generally satisfies performance of contract obligations by providing aviation services to its customers in exchange for consideration. The timing of performance may differ from the timing of the customer’s payment, which results in the recognition of a contract asset or a contract liability. A contract asset exists when the Company has a contract with a customer for which revenue has been recognized (i.e., services have been performed), but customer payment is contingent on a future event (i.e., satisfaction of contract milestones). These contract assets are transferred to receivables when billing milestones are met. Contract liabilities relate to deferred revenues in which advance consideration is received from customers for contracts where revenues are recognized based on future performance of services.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, receivables related to services performed under contracts with customers were $185.0$177.4 million and $165.2 million, respectively. During the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company recognized $4.8$5.8 million of revenues from outstanding contract liabilities. Contract liabilities related to services performed under contracts with customers were $12.8$12.5 million and $13.3 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Contract liabilities are primarily generated by fixed wing services where customers pay for tickets in advance of receiving the Company’s services and advanced payments from helicopter services customers. There were no contract assets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

As such, the Company’s actual remaining performance obligation revenues are expected to be greater than what is reflected in the table above. In addition, the remaining performance obligation disclosure does not include expected consideration related to performance obligations of a variable nature (i.e., flight services) as they cannot be reasonably and reliably estimated.

Note 56 — FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. 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.
Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement are categorized into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement, as follows:
Level 1 – observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets which are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

Fair Value of Debt
The fair value of the Company’s debt has been estimated in accordance with the accounting standard regarding fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements. 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.

Note 67 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Fleet — The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 consisted primarily of agreements to purchase helicopters and totaled $76.1$71.3 million, payable beginning in fiscal year 2023. The Company also had $1.3 million of deposits paid on options not yet exercised.
Included in these commitments are orders to purchase 3three AW189 heavy helicopters and 5five AW169 light twin helicopters. The AW189 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered in fiscal year 2023 through 2025. Delivery dates for the AW169 helicopters have yet to be determined. In addition, the Company had outstanding options to purchase up to 10ten additional AW189 helicopters. If these options are exercised, the helicopters would be scheduled for delivery in fiscal years 2024 through 2026. The Company may, from time to time, purchase aircraft for which it has no orders.
The Company may terminate $63.4$59.5 million of its capital commitments (inclusive of deposits paid on options not yet exercised) without further liability other than aggregate liquidated damages of approximately $1.9 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.
Note 78 — TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense during the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, was prepared using the actual year-to-date effective tax rate as the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate, whereas income tax expense during the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, was prepared using the estimated annual effective tax rate. The actual year-to-date effective tax rate calculates tax expense only for the year-to-date interim period earnings and does not consider the earnings estimate for the full-year. The Company determined that since small changes in estimated pre-tax income or loss would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the estimated annual effective tax rate method would not provide a reliable estimate of income taxes for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate income tax estimates using the estimated annual effective tax rate in subsequent quarters or may use the actual year-to-date effective tax rate if warranted.
During the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $8.2$0.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 67.2%. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an0.7% and income tax benefitexpense of $4.8$14.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.4%.84.2%, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $8.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.9% and income tax expense of $9.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (518.7)%, respectively. The effective tax rate during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, is higherlower than the U.S. statutory rate due to the mix of earnings, taxed in relatively higher taxed jurisdictions and the impact of limitations in utilizing net operating losses in certain jurisdictions.jurisdictions and the tax impact of foreign exchange losses outside of the U.S.

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 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 I, 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 possibility of significant changes in foreign exchange rates and controls;
public health crises, such as pandemics (COVID-19) and epidemics, and any related government policies and actions;
any failure to effectively manage, and receive anticipated returns from, acquisitions, divestitures, investments, joint ventures and other portfolio actions;
our inability to execute our business strategy for diversification efforts related to government services, offshore wind, and advanced air mobility;
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;
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 that we may impair our long-lived assets and other assets, including inventory, property and equipment and investments in unconsolidated affiliates;
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 we may be unable to re-deploy our aircraft to regions with greater demand;
the possibility of changes in tax and other laws and regulations and policies, including, without limitation, actions of the Biden Administrationgovernments that impact oil and gas operations or favor renewable energy projects in the U.S.;projects;
the possibility that we may be unable to dispose of older aircraft through sales into the aftermarket;
general economic conditions, including the capital and credit markets;
the possibility that portions of our fleet may be grounded for extended periods of time or indefinitely;
the existence of operating risks inherent in our business, including the possibility of declining safety performance;
the possibility of political instability, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries where we operate;
the possibility that reductions in spending on aviation services by governmental agencies could lead to modifications of our search and rescue (“SAR”) contract terms with governments, our contracts with the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement ("BSEE") or delays in receiving payments under such contracts;
the effectiveness of our environmental, social, and governance initiatives;
the impact of supply chain disruptions and inflation and our ability to recoup rising costs in the rates we charge to our customers; and
our reliance on a limited number of helicopter manufacturers and suppliers.
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 and under the heading “Risk Factors” and Part II Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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 repayment of debt obligations. In addition, we may use our liquidity to fund acquisitions, repay debt, 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.

Material Cash Requirements
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 flow, cash balances, borrowings under our ABL Facility, proceeds from sales of assets, issue debt or equity, or other financing options.
Our long-term liquidity is dependent upon our ability to generate operating profits sufficient to meet our requirements for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures and a reasonable return on investment. There continues to be uncertainty and unpredictability around the extent to which oil prices may adversely affect demand for our services, which in turn could affect our business and liquidity. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had $255.0$199.5 million of unrestricted cash and $63.0$51.7 million of remaining availability under our ABL Facility for total liquidity of $318.0$251.2 million.
Total principal debt balance as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was $514.4$503.7 million primarily comprised of the 6.875% Senior Notes due in March 2028 and two tranches of the Lombard Debt due in December 29, 2023 and January 30, 2024, respectively. We have the ability to fund capital expenditures with cash on hand and operating cash flows. However, to optimize capital structure, we plan to refinance the existing Lombard debt facilities on attractive terms and fund the balance of capital expenditures with operating cash flows. Aside from the Lombard debt, we have no near term debt maturities and believe our cash flows from operations and other sources of liquidity will continue to be sufficient in fulfilling our debt obligations.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, approximately 41%30% of our total cash balance was held outside the U.S. and is generally used to meet the liquidity needs of our non-U.S. operations. 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.
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 the our ability to attract capital on satisfactory terms. We believe our current credit rating, financial condition and liquidity position allows us to secure favorable financing terms.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We have various contractual obligations that are recorded as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and other executory contracts are not recognized as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had unfunded capital commitments of $76.1$71.3 million, consisting primarily of agreements to purchase helicopters, including three AW189 heavy helicopters and five AW169 light twin helicopters. The AW189 helicopters are scheduled for delivery in fiscal years 2023 through 2025. Delivery dates for the AW169 helicopters have yet to be determined. In addition, we had outstanding options to purchase up to ten additional AW189 helicopters. If these options are exercised, the helicopters would be scheduled for delivery in fiscal years 2024 through 2026.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, $63.4$59.5 million of our capital commitments (inclusive of deposits paid on options not yet exercised) may be terminated without further liability other than aggregate liquidated damages of approximately $1.9 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 and month-to-month terms, generally provide for fixed monthly rentals and can also include renewal options. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, aggregate future payments under all non-cancelable operating leases that have initial or remaining terms in excess of one year including leases for 42 aircraft, 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.

29


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 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).

Critical Accounting Estimates
See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Estimates” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and accounting changes, see Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are subject to certain market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business. These risks arise primarily as a result of potential changes in the fair market value of financial instruments that would result from adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, credit risk, and interest rates.
For additional information about our exposure to market risk, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since March 31, 2022.
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 JuneSeptember 30, 2022.
During the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, 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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For a detailed discussion of our risk factors, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.
Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk may increase due to a portion of our revenues being denominated in foreign currencies while associated costs are denominated in the U.S. dollar.
Some of our contracts to provide services internationally provide for payment in foreign currencies. Our revenues denominated in foreign currencies expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. Further, our foreign exchange rate risk may increase if our revenues are denominated in a currency different from the associated costs. For example, our largest foreign currency exchange exposure is to the British pound sterling, and the majority of our revenues and expenses from our U.K. operations are in British pound sterling. The weakening of the British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar could adversely impact our financial results.

Not applicable.
Item 5.    Other Information
None.Effective as of October 20, 2022, the Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), approved and adopted the Bristow Group Inc. Senior Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”). The
31


Severance Plan provides severance benefits to eligible employees, including our Named Executive Officers, whose employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by the participant for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Severance Plan) (in either case, a “Qualifying Termination”).
Upon a Qualifying Termination not in connection with a “change in control” (as such term is defined in the Severance Plan), a participant will be eligible to receive the following benefits: (a) cash payments equal to annual base salary (two times annual base salary for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer); (b) pro-rata target bonus for the year of termination; (c) cash payments equal to COBRA premiums for six months (18 months for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or any “Tier 2 Participant” (as such term is defined in the Severance Plan)); and (d) outplacement services not to exceed $25,000.
Upon a Qualifying Termination during a “change in control protection period” (as such term is defined in the Severance Plan), a participant will be eligible to receive the following benefits: (a) a lump sum cash payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of annual base salary and target annual bonus (three times for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer); (b) pro-rata target bonus for the year of termination; (c) a lump sum cash payment equal to COBRA premiums for 18 months; and (d) outplacement services not to exceed $25,000.
In order to receive severance payments, the participant must execute a general release of claims in favor of the Company. As a condition to participation in the Severance Plan, all participants are subject to confidentiality obligations, as well as non-solicitation and noncompetition restrictions during their employment with the Company and (i) in the event of a Qualifying Termination not in connection with a change in control, for 12 months thereafter, and (ii) in the event of a Qualifying Termination during a change in control protection period, for 18 months thereafter (24 months for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer).
In the event that any payment or benefit due to an employee would be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), based on such payments being classified as “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, then the amounts payable to such employee will be reduced to the maximum amount that does not trigger the excise tax, unless the applicable employee would be better off (on an after-tax basis) receiving all such payments and benefits and paying all applicable income and excise tax thereon.
The Board may amend or terminate the Severance Plan at any time, but no such action may be adverse to the interests of any participant (without the consent of the participant) during the two-year period following a change in control or during the pendency of a “potential change in control” (as such term is defined in the Severance Plan), or during the two-year period following adoption of the Severance Plan.
The foregoing summary of the Severance Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Severance Plan filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
