Despite continued volatility, Brent prices remain above $100 per
barrel
for the foreseeable future
Offshore/deepwater and harsh environment remains a primary driver of
IOC and NOC production growth
Exploration success due to technological advances continues to unlock
new plays in deepwater
Gulf of Mexico (GoM) to experience the greatest absolute growth in ultra-
deepwater rig demand in the world over the next several years with
potential to reach 60 deepwater rigs by 2015 from 37 currently operating
North Sea activity growth rivals the GoM with rig and FPSO utilization
levels at near maximum levels
Clients are recognizing the criticality of safe, efficient and reliable
helicopter services for their offshore operations

~80
EC225
continue
to
be
suspended
from
operations
globally
with
16
Bristow aircraft affected, mainly located in Aberdeen
Eurocopter has indicated that they have determined the root causes of the
gear shaft failure
The
definitive
solution
to
the
problem
will
be
a
redesign
of
the
gear
shaft
which we believe will take more than a year to complete
Interim solutions under consideration include minor aircraft modifications
and new maintenance/operating procedures for mitigating shaft failure and
enhancing early detection
These
interim
solutions
could
result
in
Bristow’s
return
to
revenue
service
for EC225s in the third quarter of our fiscal year 2014
We continue to respond to client needs by redeploying a/c from other
regions, increasing utilization of existing a/c and adding new a/c including
the S-92s ordered last year
EC225 fleet update

North Sea oil and gas growth to rival Gulf of
Mexico
UK SAR contract win with further 18 new
additional a/c at ~$12M full LACE run rate

Ten bases equipped with 22
technologically-advanced
helicopters
Two training aircraft are
scheduled to be delivered in
FY15 with the revenue
anticipated to build between
FY16 to FY18 as operational
aircraft come on station
Contract will provide stable
revenue through any oil and gas
downturn or cyclicality
UK SAR award is a potential
catalyst for future SAR
outsourcing by governments


12

revenue and 20% of adjusted EBITDAR* in Q4
FY13
Operating revenue increased by 11.8% to $74.0M

in Q4 FY13 from $24.2M in Q4 FY12; adjusted
EBITDAR margin decreased to 31.8% in Q4FY13
vs 36.6% in Q4 FY12 due to an increase in
salaries and maintenance expense

deepwater activity favors Bristow
One S-92 is a new additional a/c starting in
Q3 FY14
Local content remains important

revenue and 14% of adjusted EBITDAR* in Q4 FY13
Operating revenue increased 33% to $56.3M in Q4
FY13 from $42.3M in Q4 FY12 as a result of a shift
toward larger a/c and improved terms
Eight aircraft dry leased to Cougar in Canada resulted
in a revenue increase of $8.2 million in Q4 FY13
Adjusted EBITDAR more than doubled to $16.6M in
Q4 FY13 vs $8.2M in Q4 FY12 and adjusted
EBITDAR margin increased to 29.5% vs.19.4% in Q4
FY12
Outlook:
GoM -
second most prolific deepwater basin after
Brazil and permitting above pre-Macondo levels
Cougar is performing above expectations and has
the possibility of adding one more a/c in FY14
Client demand for medium and large a/c  is
increasing, with one new large a/c starting in July
2013 on a three year contract
North America (NABU)
* Operating revenue and adjusted EBITDAR percentages exclude corporate and other.

from $15.5M in Q4 FY12 and adjusted EBITDAR margin
decreased to 26.0% in Q4 FY13 from 35.6% in Q4 FY12

compared to FY12 of $36.0M with adjusted EBITDAR
margin increased to 27.1% vs 24.3%
Outlook:
FY14 introduction of new large a/c type to the
region will require additional staff and training to
be recovered during future contract periods
Clients reconsidering alternative fleet types and
contracting strategies due to EC225 suspension
New awards for four existing large a/c at better
contract terms are expected to start in Q2 and
Q3 FY14

Recent quarterly and yearly BVA
Significant year-over-year improvement in FY13

Value
Added
(BVA)
is
calculated
by
taking
Gross
Cash
Flow
less
the
product
of
Gross
Operating
Assets
times
a
capital
charge
of
10.5%.
Example
calculation
for
Q4 
FY12 and Q4 FY13 can be found in the appendix hereto.
Q4 FY13 BVA is positive $9.4M
FY13 consolidated BVA is
positive $22.7M, a $23.4M
increase from FY12
Positive year-over-year change
in BVA is driven by:
Increase of ~$44M in gross
cash flow as more LACE a/c
underpin the growth
Working capital management
and the lease strategy allow
for a lower capital charge
AUSBU, EBU and NABU are
key performers year-over-year

Financial highlights:
Long term adjusted earnings guidance
Bristow’s 5 year historical adj.
EPS of 10% growth shows
resiliency through economic
downturns
Our FY13 adj. EPS growth of
21% benefitted from the
accelerating shift to deeper
water E&P
Our expected future long term
average annual adj. EPS
growth rate is higher at 10% –
15%*
UK SAR is expected to provide
even higher growth as we ramp
up to full operations in FY18
* This guidance represents a long term average during the next 3-5 years, and growth rates for any fiscal year or quarter may be outside this range.  Please see our earnings
release for more information regarding earnings guidance, which is also applicable to our adjusted earnings growth rate guidance.
UK SAR expected to contribute
~$1.00 to adj. EPS by FY18


25
Conclusions
Safety continues to be our #1 priority as we strive to achieve
Target Zero
Record year-over-year revenue, cash flow and bottom line
earnings in FY13 demonstrate the uniqueness and strength
of our business model and balance sheet
Bristow’s largest share of revenue is increasingly related to oil
and gas production and SAR work, delivering even lower
business risk cash flow
Our new a/c order book positions us well for future growing
offshore market opportunities
Our capital appreciation and proven commitment to dividend
growth have provided solid returns for our shareholders
