CHC Group Reports Fiscal 2016 First Quarter Results
September 8, 2015 | By Business Wire News
VANCOUVER, British Columbia
CHC Group (NYSE:HELI) reported fiscal 2016 first quarter (ended July 31, 2015) consolidated revenue of $376 million, a decline of 18 percent year-over-year driven by unfavorable currency translation effects and challenging operating conditions in the global oil sector. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased 9 percent.
The Company reported a net loss of $47 million, or $0.62 per ordinary share, for the fiscal 2016 first quarter. Excluding special items, Adjusted EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and helicopter lease and other costs) increased 2 percent to $114 million, reflecting the Company’s successful execution of cost control initiatives. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDAR excluding special items was up modestly year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDAR margin, excluding special items, was 33 percent, an increase of 620 basis points year-over-year, resulting from cost control initiatives as well as the impact of foreign exchange.
The Company had a fiscal 2016 first quarter adjusted net loss of $34 million. Quarterly adjustments included, but were not limited to, a $19 million restructuring charge related to lease and other contractual costs on certain leased helicopters as well as employee severance costs.

Karl Fessenden, CHC President and Chief Executive Officer:
“In the fiscal 2016 first quarter, we significantly lowered our costs and improved our capital efficiency, reflecting both the resiliency and flexibility of our business model. Excluding foreign exchange, we reduced operating expenses at the Adjusted EBITDAR level by approximately $50 million on a year-over-year basis, which more than offset the decline in revenue and resulted in modest growth in Adjusted EBITDAR. We remain confident in our ability to manage through the current operating environment given the mission-critical services that we provide, coupled with the fact that the majority of our revenue is derived from oil and gas production platforms operating at low marginal costs. We continue to believe there are significant opportunities for attractive growth as production and exploration activities continue to move further offshore to meet the forecasted long-term demand for oil.”
Lee Eckert, CHC Chief Financial Officer:
“While we are encouraged by the positive impact from our significant initial cost reduction program, we believe there is more runway to further improve our cost base, capital efficiency, productivity and commercial excellence.”
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Helicopter Services (flying)
Fiscal 2016 first quarter revenue of $341 million declined 20 percent, with the negative impact of currency translation being a significant contributor to the reduction. On a constant currency basis, the decline was 9 percent, driven by lower flying activity and lower reimbursable revenue. Adjusted EBITDAR for the segment was $121 million, a decline of 4 percent largely due to the impact of foreign exchange. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDAR margin of 39 percent increased approximately 590 basis points compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting the positive impact of foreign exchange and cost saving initiatives.
Heli-One (MRO)
Heli-One’s third-party revenue for the fiscal 2016 first quarter was $35 million, a decline of 4 percent compared to the prior year quarter due to the impact of foreign exchange. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 8 percent year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDAR was $7 million, an increase of 40 percent and Adjusted EBITDAR margin of 12 percent increased 300 basis points compared to the prior year quarter.
LEVERAGE, LIQUIDITY AND COMMITMENTS
The Company ended the fiscal 2016 first quarter with an adjusted leverage ratio of 5.0x, which was unchanged from the prior quarter.
The Company ended the quarter with $559 million in liquidity as defined under “Non-GAAP Measures” below. This includes $145 million in undrawn capacity under the asset-based revolving credit facility. Operating cash flow was $25 million, an improvement of $56 million over the same period in the prior year.
During fiscal 2016 to date, the Company repurchased $41 million in bonds at significant discounts to face value, driving annualized interest savings of approximately $4 million.
In addition, the Company reduced its aircraft purchase commitments by $169 million. Additional flexible orders of $249 million allow the Company to monitor the market recovery before confirming dates and the type of aircraft for deliveries, further strengthening the Company’s financial flexibility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including: net loss adjusted to exclude corporate transaction costs, asset dispositions, asset impairments, restructuring expense, debt extinguishment, the revaluation of our derivatives and foreign-exchange gain (loss), and net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests (“adjusted net loss”); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, helicopter lease and associated costs, restructuring expense, asset impairments, gain (loss) on disposal of assets, foreign exchange gain (loss) and other financing income (charges) or total revenue plus earnings from equity accounted investees less direct costs, excluding helicopter lease and associated costs, and general and administration expenses (“Adjusted EBITDAR”); Adjusted EBITDAR excluding special items, is Adjusted EBITDAR but excludes corporate transaction costs; Adjusted net loss per ordinary share, which is calculated by dividing adjusted net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding; free cash flow, which is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures; liquidity, which is calculated as cash and cash equivalents plus available borrowings under our credit facilities and the undrawn capacity of the asset-based revolving credit facility; and Adjusted leverage ratio, which is Adjusted net debt divided by the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDAR excluding special items, that are not required by, or presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are not performance measures under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings (loss) or any other performance or liquidity measures derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. CHC has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure below. CHC has chosen to include Adjusted net loss and Adjusted net loss per share as we consider these to be useful measures of our results before asset impairments, gain or loss on the disposal of assets and foreign exchange gains or losses. We have chosen to include Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR excluding special items, as we consider these measures to be significant indicators of our financial performance and we use these measures to assist us in allocating available capital resources. CHC has provided liquidity to demonstrate the financial flexibility that we have from period to period. CHC has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure below and has presented a detailed discussion of its reasons for including non-GAAP financial measures and the limitations associated with those measures as part of the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. CHC encourages investors to review the reconciliation and the non-GAAP discussion in conjunction with our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures.
