Company Description
We are the world's largest commercial operator of helicopters based on revenue
of $1.7 billion in fiscal 2013. We are also the world's largest commercial
operator of heavy and medium helicopters based on our fleet of 238 heavy and
medium helicopters as of October 31, 2013. With bases on six
continents, we are
one of only two global commercial helicopter service providers to the offshore
oil and gas industry. Our mission is to provide the highest level of service in
the industry, which we believe will enable our customers to go further, do more
and come home safely. Through our 60 years of experience providing helicopter
services, we believe our brand and reputation have become associated with safe
and reliable transportation and mission-critical logistics solutions. Our fleet
of heavy and medium helicopters, global capabilities and reputation for safety
position us to capitalize on anticipated increases in ultra-deepwater and
deepwater drilling and production spending by our major, national and
independent oil and gas company customers.

Our helicopters are primarily used to facilitate large, long-distance crew
changes on offshore production facilities and drilling rigs. We also provide
search and rescue services, or SAR, and emergency medical services, or EMS, to
government agencies. We maintain a presence in most major offshore oil and gas
markets through a network of approximately 70 bases with operations in
approximately 30 countries, more than any other commercial helicopter service
provider in the world. We cover this expansive and diverse geography with a
technologically advanced fleet of 238 helicopters and the expertise to serve
customers in ultra-deepwater and deepwater locations. To secure and maintain
operating certificates in the many jurisdictions in which we provide helicopter
services, we must meet stringent and diverse regulatory standards across
multiple jurisdictions, and have an established track record in obtaining and
maintaining certificates as well as working with regulators and local partners.

We generate the majority of our oil and gas customer Helicopter Services revenue
from contracts tied to our customers' offshore production operations, which have
long-term transportation requirements. A substantial portion of our remaining
oil and gas customer Helicopter Services revenue comes from transporting
personnel to and from offshore drilling rigs, and we believe this capability
allows us to take advantage of expansion in the global ultra-deepwater rig
fleet. Approximately 71% to 75% of the flying revenue in our Helicopter Services
segment was attributable to fixed monthly charges for the fiscal years ended
April 30, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

We also provide maintenance, repair and overhaul, or MRO, services through our
Heli-One business to both our own Helicopter Services segment and to third-party
customers. Our MRO capabilities enable us to perform heavy structural repairs,
and maintain, overhaul and test helicopters and helicopter components globally
across various helicopter types. We believe our in-house MRO operations through
our Heli-One business enable us to manage our supply chain and maintain our
fleet more efficiently, thereby increasing the availability of our helicopters
and reducing our overall cost of maintenance. In addition, we are the largest
provider of these services (excluding original equipment manufacturers, or
OEMs), which allows us to provide our Heli-One customers with comprehensive MRO
services across multiple helicopter types and families. Our MRO services include
complete maintenance outsourcing solutions, parts sales and distribution,
engineering services, design services and logistics support.

We conduct our business through two operating segments: Helicopter Services for
flying operations and Heli-One for MRO services.
