Era Group Inc. (ERA) 10-Q Quarterly Report May 2018

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Era Group Inc. (NYSE: ERA) today reported a net loss attributable to the Company of $1.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for its first quarter ended March 31, 2018 (“current quarter”) on operating revenues of $57.3 million compared to net income attributable to the Company of $61.7 million, or $2.89 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 (“preceding quarter”) on operating revenues of $57.5 million. The preceding quarter results included an income tax benefit of approximately $70 million due to changes in U.S. tax legislation.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $12.7 million in the current quarter compared to $2.0 million in the preceding quarter. EBITDA adjusted to exclude gains on asset dispositions and special items was $8.1 million in the current quarter compared to $4.7 million in the preceding quarter. Gains on asset dispositions were $4.4 million in the current quarter compared to losses of $0.5 million in the preceding quarter. Special items in the current quarter consisted of a $0.2 million gain on debt extinguishment on the early repayment of certain debt in Brazil. Special items in the preceding quarter consisted of $2.0 million in non-cash charges related to the Company's Brazil subsidiary entering the Tax Special Regularization Program (the "PERT" program) and $0.2 million of other non-cash items.

“The positive momentum in offshore oil and gas customer activity, which began in mid-2017, further accelerated in the first quarter of 2018, with oil and gas revenues 2% higher on a sequential quarter basis and 10% higher on a year-over-year basis,” said Chris Bradshaw, President and Chief Executive Officer of Era Group Inc. “The improvements in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico market were even more pronounced, up 4% on a sequential quarter basis and 21% higher on a year-over-year basis.”

“Profitability in the first quarter was adversely impacted by $3.9 million of non-routine professional services fees. We continue to prioritize the protection of our strong balance sheet. We generated $19.5 million of cash from asset sales in the first quarter, and net debt was reduced by $14.0 million.”

Sequential Quarter Results

Operating revenues in the current quarter were comparable to the preceding quarter, as higher oil and gas revenues were offset by lower dry-leasing revenues.

Operating expenses were $6.7 million lower in the current quarter primarily due to decreased repairs and maintenance costs related to the timing of repairs and the recognition of power-by-the-hour (“PBH”) credits resulting from the removal of helicopters from PBH programs following their sale. In addition, the preceding quarter included the adverse accounting impact for the PERT program in Brazil.

Administrative and general expenses were $1.2 million higher in the current quarter primarily due to an increase in professional services fees.
