COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS: Excerpts (as conveyed by Argus Analyst Steve Silver) include:

VTOL: A Leader in Offshore Energy and Government Services Transportation

• We expect Bristow to benefit from the increased utilization of its fleet of 227 aircraft as energy companies expand offshore drilling.
• We also like the recent expansion of the Government Services segment given its long-duration contracts and high percentage of fixed-rate revenues. We expect this expansion to boost adjusted EBITDA and believe that it is underappreciated by investors.
• The company has recently won new contracts with the U.K. Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and the Netherlands Coast Guard. It has also acquired British International Helicopter Services, which provides search and rescue and support helicopter services for the UK Ministry of Defence.
• As of December 31, 2022, Bristow had net liquidity of $240 million and a trailing 12-month net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.7. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow will be sufficient to meet the company's capital requirements, including acquisitions.
• Bristow shares have been volatile since the beginning of 2022, trading in a range of $21.60-$40.10. They are currently near the low end of this range, despite the company's multiple new contract wins and higher EBITDA guidance.
• Based on our valuation analysis, we arrive at a fair value estimate for VTOL of $33 per share, well above current levels.
