Operating lease strategy: lowering the cost and amount of
capital needed to grow

December 2011 to March 2012

approximately
14%

our
commercial
fleet
is
leased
on
a

Changes in fleet strategy have been driven by Client
Promise and BVA initiatives
In Q2 FY12, management updated our global fleet strategy
which incorporated aspects of Client Promise and BVA
Subsequent pre-tax inventory written down $25.9M (non-cash)
Excellent year for aircraft sales with significant transactions
improving fleet mix
29 aircraft were sold for $53.8M; 12 in Q4 FY12 including nine
AS 332L large aircraft sold for $28.9M
Aircraft
impairments
Seven other AS332Ls impaired, resulting in a non-cash charge
of $23.6M
Non-cash impairment charge of $2.8M on two medium aircraft
to be sold in Q2 FY13
Inventory
review
Aircraft
sales
Aircraft
impairment


22
All of these efforts have led to a robust cash and liquidity
position at year end
Total liquidity as of March 31
Total liquidity, including cash on
hand and unused revolver
capacity, has increased by more
than 50% from FY11
In FY12 cash on hand increased
by ~ 125%
In Q4 FY12 we have also paid
down over $75M of long and short
term debt
Higher liquidity allows for internal
funding of growth and protection in
uncertain economic times


23

Strong financial profile with liquidity, cash flow and a
commitment to credit quality
