NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONSOLIDATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bristow Group Inc. and its consolidated entities. Unless the context otherwise indicates, any references to the “Company”, “Bristow”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Bristow Group Inc. and its consolidated entities.
The condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, has been prepared by the Company in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information reporting on Quarterly Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from that which would appear in the annual consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bristow Group Inc., its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and entities that meet the criteria of variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions; however, they include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
Reclassification
Certain amounts reported for prior periods in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were assessed and determined as either not applicable or not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), requiring a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring public business entities to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. The tabular disclosure would also include certain other expenses, when applicable. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (as amended in the FASB update in January 2025 in ASU 2025-01). The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s customers are primarily major integrated, national and independent offshore energy companies and government agencies. Revenues are generally recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations by providing aviation services to its customers in exchange for consideration. The Company disaggregates its revenues by operating segment.

Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these items.
The Company’s debt was measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements using discounted cash flow analysis. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value, and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Note 6.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
From time to time, the Company may use derivatives to partially offset its business exposure to foreign currency risks on expected future cash flows. The Company enters into master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. The derivative agreements do not contain credit-risk-related contingent features. There are no amounts of related financial collateral received or pledged. The Company does not use any of its derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company may use foreign exchange options or forward contracts to hedge a portion of its forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions.
These foreign exchange hedge contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities of up to approximately
9
months. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total notional amounts of outstanding cash flow hedges were $
46.7
million and $
82.2
million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, less than $
0.1
million of estimated net
losses will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no net gains or losses recognized in earnings relating to hedges of forecasted transactions that did not occur.
The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s derivatives is based on valuation methods which project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves and foreign currency rates.
The fair value of derivative instruments on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows, presented on a gross basis (in thousands):

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Capital Commitments - Fleet
The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of agreements to purchase helicopters and totaled $
169.2
million, payable beginning in 2025.
Included in these commitments are orders to purchase
seven
AW189 heavy helicopters,
two
AW139 medium helicopters and
five
AW169 light twin helicopters. The AW139 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered in 2025, and the AW189 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered in 2025 and 2026. Delivery dates for the AW169 helicopters have yet to be determined. In addition, the Company has outstanding options to purchase up to
ten
additional AW189 helicopters and
ten
additional H135 helicopters. If these options are exercised, the AW189 helicopters would be scheduled for delivery between 2026 and 2028, and the H135 helicopters would be scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2028. The Company may, from time to time, purchase aircraft for which it has no orders.
The Company may terminate $
34.0
million of its unfunded capital commitments without further liability other than aggregate liquidated damages of approximately $
1.1
million.
General Litigation and Disputes
The Company operates in jurisdictions internationally where it is subject to risks that include government action to obtain additional tax revenues. In a number of these jurisdictions, political unrest, the lack of well-developed legal systems and legislation that is not clear enough in its wording to determine the ultimate application, can make it difficult to determine whether legislation may impact the Company’s earnings until such time as a clear court or other ruling exists. The Company operates in jurisdictions currently where amounts may be due to governmental bodies that the Company is not currently recording liabilities for as it is unclear how broad or narrow legislation may ultimately be interpreted. The Company believes that payment of amounts in these instances is not probable at this time, but is reasonably possible.
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its condensed consolidated financial statements related thereto as appropriate. It is possible that a change in its estimates related to these exposures could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs or uninsured losses, if any, would have a material effect on its business, consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 8.
INCOME TAXES
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $
10.2
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of
27.1
%, and income tax expense of $
2.5
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of
27.4
%, respectively.
The effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was impacted by the Company’s global mix of earnings in the current year and deductible business interest expense, partially offset by the recognition of certain deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was impacted by the Company’s global mix of earnings, adjustments to valuation allowances against future realization of losses and deductible business interest expense, partially offset by the recognition of certain deferred tax assets.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s basic earnings (losses) per common share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted earnings (losses) per common share of the Company are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding, inclusive of the effect of potentially dilutive securities (such as options to purchase common shares and restricted stock units and awards which were outstanding during the period but were anti-dilutive) through the application of the treasury method and/or the if-converted method, when applicable.

The Company has
three
reportable segments: Offshore Energy Services, Government Services and Other Services. The Offshore Energy Services segment provides aviation services to, from and between offshore energy installations globally. The Government Services segment provides search and rescue (“SAR”) and support helicopter services to government agencies globally. The Other Services segment is primarily comprised of fixed wing services, dry-leasing of aircraft to third-party operators and part sales. Corporate includes unallocated overhead costs that are not directly associated with the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), uses segment operating income, in addition to other measures, to assess segment performance and allocate resources.
Financial information by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is summarized below (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, included elsewhere herein, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2025 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Unless the context otherwise indicates, in this MD&A, any references to the “Company”, “Bristow”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Bristow Group Inc. and its consolidated entities.
In the discussions that follow, the terms “Current Quarter”, “Preceding Quarter” and “Prior Year Quarter” refer to the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are statements about our future business, strategy, operations, capabilities and results; financial projections; plans and objectives of our management; expected actions by us and by third parties, including our customers, competitors, vendors and regulators, and other matters. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes," “belief," “forecasts," “expects," “plans," “anticipates," “intends," “projects," “estimates," “may," “might," “will," “would," “could," “should” or other similar words; however, all statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than statements of historical fact or historical financial results, are forward-looking statements.
Our forward-looking statements reflect our views and assumptions on the date we are filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding future events and operating performance. We believe that they are reasonable, but they involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, many of which may be beyond our control, that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in particular, the risks discussed in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this report and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC. Accordingly, you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
You should consider the following key factors when evaluating these forward-looking statements:
•
the impact of supply chain disruptions and inflation and our ability to recoup rising costs in the rates we charge to our customers;
•
our reliance on a limited number of helicopter manufacturers and suppliers and the impact of a shortfall in availability of aircraft components and parts required for maintenance and repairs of our helicopters, including significant delays in the delivery of parts for our S92 fleet;
•
our reliance on a limited number of customers and the reduction of our customer base as a result of consolidation and/or the energy transition;
•
public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, and any related government policies and actions;
•
our inability to execute our business strategy for diversification efforts related to government services and advanced air mobility;
•
the potential for cyberattacks or security breaches that could disrupt operations, compromise confidential or sensitive information, damage reputation, expose to legal liability, or cause financial losses;
•
the possibility that we may be unable to maintain compliance with covenants in our financing agreements;
•
global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices or other market conditions affecting oil and gas, including changes resulting from a public health crisis or from the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other producing countries;
•
the possibility of significant changes in foreign exchange rates and controls;
•
potential effects of increased competition and the introduction of alternative modes of transportation and solutions;
•
the possibility that portions of our fleet may be grounded for extended periods of time or indefinitely (including due to severe weather events);
•
the possibility of political instability, civil unrest, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries where we operate or elsewhere;
•
the possibility that we may be unable to re-deploy our aircraft to regions with greater demand;
•
the existence of operating risks inherent in our business, including the possibility of declining safety performance;
•
labor issues, including our inability to negotiate acceptable collective bargaining or union agreements with employees covered by such agreements;
•
the possibility of changes in tax, environmental, trade, immigration and other laws and regulations and policies, including, without limitation, tariffs and actions of the governments that impact oil and gas operations, favor renewable energy projects or address climate change;
•
any failure to effectively manage, and receive anticipated returns from, acquisitions, divestitures, investments, joint ventures and other portfolio actions;
•
the possibility that we may be unable to dispose of older aircraft through sales into the aftermarket;
•
the possibility that we may impair our long-lived assets and other assets, including inventory, property and equipment and investments in unconsolidated affiliates;
•
general economic conditions, including interest rates or uncertainty in the capital and credit markets;
•
disruptions in global trade, including as a result of tariffs, trade restrictions, retaliatory trade measures or the effect of such actions on trading relationships between the United States and other countries;
•
the possibility that reductions in spending on aviation services by governmental agencies where we are seeking contracts could adversely affect or lead to modifications of the procurement process or that such reductions in spending could adversely affect search and rescue (“SAR”) contract terms or otherwise delay service or the receipt of payments under such contracts; and
•
the effectiveness of our environmental, social and governance initiatives.
The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider. All forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and are only made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect our businesses, particularly those discussed in greater detail in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
We disclaim any obligation or undertaking, other than as required by law, to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Bristow Group Inc. is the leading global provider of innovative and sustainable vertical flight solutions. Bristow primarily provides aviation services to a broad base of offshore energy companies and government entities. Our aviation services include personnel transportation, search and rescue (“SAR”), medevac, fixed wing transportation, unmanned systems and ad-hoc helicopter services. Our business is comprised of three operating segments: Offshore Energy Services, Government Services and Other Services. Our energy customers charter our helicopters primarily to transport personnel to, from and between onshore bases and offshore production platforms, drilling rigs and other installations. Our government customers primarily outsource SAR activities whereby we operate specialized helicopters and provide highly trained personnel. Our other services include fixed wing transportation services through a regional airline and dry-leasing aircraft to third-party operators in support of other industries and geographic markets.
Bristow currently has customers in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, the Dutch Caribbean, the Falkland Islands, India, Ireland, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Spain, Suriname, Trinidad, the United Kingdom (“UK”) and the United States (“U.S.”).
In general, the winter months are seasonally our lowest revenue periods, with fewer daylight hours resulting in reduced flight hours. For example, operations in the U.S. Gulf of America are often at their highest levels from April to September, as daylight hours increase, and are at their lowest levels from December to February, as daylight hours decrease. See “Segments and Markets” in Part I, Item 1, “Business” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on seasonality.
Recent Developments
Tariffs and Trading Relationships
In March 2025, the U.S. government implemented 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum products, which may include some aircraft parts. In April 2025, the U.S. government announced a baseline tariff of 10% on products imported from all countries and an additional individualized reciprocal tariff on the countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits. Increased tariffs by the U.S. have led, and may continue to lead, to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the U.S. government has announced and rescinded multiple tariffs on several foreign jurisdictions, which has increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of the tariffs on economic conditions. Current uncertainties about tariffs and their effects on trading relationships may affect costs for and availability of aircraft components and parts required for repairs and maintenance of our helicopters or contribute to inflation in the markets in which we operate. Although we are continuing to monitor the economic effects of such announcements, as well as opportunities to mitigate their related impacts, costs and other effects associated with the tariffs remain uncertain.

(1)
Under construction reflects new aircraft that the Company has either taken ownership of and are undergoing additional configuration before being placed into service or are currently under construction by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) and pending delivery. Includes ten AW189 heavy helicopters (of which three were delivered and are undergoing additional configuration), five AW139 medium helicopters (of which three were
delivered and are undergoing additional configuration) and two H135 light-twin helicopters (of which two were delivered and are undergoing additional configuration).
(2)
On order reflects aircraft that the Company has commitments to purchase but construction has not yet begun. Includes five AW169 light-twin helicopters.
(3)
Options include 10 AW189 heavy helicopters and 10 H135 light-twin helicopters.
The management of our fleet involves a careful evaluation of the expected demand for helicopter services across global markets, segments, and the types of helicopters needed to meet this demand. Heavy and medium helicopters fly longer distances and can carry heavier payloads than light helicopters and are usually equipped with sophisticated avionics permitting them to operate in more demanding weather conditions and difficult climates. Heavy and medium helicopters are most commonly used for crew changes on large offshore production facilities and drilling rigs servicing the offshore energy industry and for SAR operations.

Offshore Energy Services.
Revenues from Offshore Energy Services were $0.4 million lower in the Current Quarter compared to the Preceding Quarter. Revenues in Europe were $4.5 million lower primarily due to lower utilization in the UK. Revenues in the Americas were $1.9 million higher primarily due to higher utilization of heavy helicopters in the U.S. Revenues in Africa were $2.2 million higher primarily due to increased aircraft capacity and increased utilization. Operating income was $3.0 million higher in the Current Quarter primarily due to lower operating expenses. Repairs and maintenance expense was $7.1 million lower primarily due to lower power-by-the-hour (“PBH”) expenses of $2.6 million, timing of repairs of $2.4 million and increased vendor credits of $1.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher other operating costs of $3.2 million including training costs due to increased activity in the Current Quarter and the absence of a favorable property tax adjustment recognized in the Preceding Quarter.
Government Services.
Revenues from Government Services were $3.4 million higher in the Current Quarter primarily due to the commencement of the Irish Coast Guard ("IRCG") contract in late 2024. Operating income was $3.7 million higher in the Current Quarter primarily due to the higher revenues.
Other Services.
Revenues from Other Services were $6.0 million lower in the Current Quarter primarily due to lower seasonal utilization in Australia of $4.6 million, unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts of $0.7 million and lower dry-lease revenues of $0.7 million. Operating income was $4.2 million lower in the Current Quarter due to these lower revenues, partially offset by lower expenses. Fuel costs were $0.6 million lower primarily due to fewer flight hours. Other operating costs were $0.5 million lower primarily due to lower activity.
Corporate.
Total operating losses for Corporate were
$0.8 million higher than the Preceding Quarter primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses of $0.3 million and increased losses on disposal of assets of $0.5 million. During the Current Quarter, the Company disposed of certain non-aircraft assets, resulting in a net loss of $0.6 million. During the Preceding Quarter, the Company sold three AS350 light single engine helicopters and disposed of two S92 heavy helicopters, one S76C++ medium helicopter, one A109 light-twin helicopter and various other assets, resulting in net losses of $0.1 million.
Other, net
.
Other income, net of $11.4 million in the Current Quarter primarily resulted from higher foreign exchange gains. Other expense, net of $6.2 million in the Preceding Quarter primarily resulted from foreign exchange losses of $12.6 million, partially offset by an insurance recovery of $4.5 million and a favorable interest adjustment to the Company’s pension liability of $1.7 million.
Income tax benefit (expense).
Income tax expense was $10.2 million in the Current Quarter compared to an income tax benefit of $13.0 million in the Preceding Quarter. Income tax expense in the Current Quarter was primarily due to the earnings mix of the Company's global operations and deductible business interest expense, partially offset by the recognition of certain deferred tax assets.
Our ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, meeting our capital commitments (including the purchase of aircraft and other equipment) and the payment of debt service obligations. In addition, we may use our liquidity to fund acquisitions, repurchase stock or debt securities or make other investments. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash balances and cash flows from operations and, from time to time, we may obtain additional liquidity through the issuance of equity or debt or other financing options or through asset sales.

(40,744)
Operating Activities
Operating cash flows were $27.3 million lower in the Current Quarter primarily due to working capital changes, partially offset by an increase in operating income. Working capital uses of $56.4 million in the Current Quarter primarily resulted from an increase in accounts receivables due to the timing of customer payments, an increase in other assets related to start-up costs for new Government Services contracts and increases in inventory to support new contracts and to mitigate risks related to supply chain constraints. Working capital uses of $3.4 million in the Prior Year Quarter were primarily due to decreases in accrued liabilities and an increase in inventory.
Investing Activities
During the Current Quarter, net cash used in investing activities was $52.0 million primarily consisting of:
•
Capital expenditures of $52.1 million primarily related to payments for aircraft, leasehold improvements and purchases of equipment, partially offset by
•
Proceeds from the sale of assets were less than $0.1 million.
During the Prior Year Quarter, net cash used in investing activities was $64.6 million primarily consisting of:
•
Capital expenditures of $64.6 million primarily related to payments for aircraft, purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements.
Financing Activities
During the Current Quarter, net cash used in financing activities was $1.7 million primarily consisting of:
•
Proceeds from borrowings of $5.8 million, partially offset by
•
Net repayments of debt of $4.8 million related to the principal of secured equipment term loans,
•
Stock repurchases of $2.5 million, and
•
Payments on debt issuance costs of $0.2 million.
During the Prior Year Quarter, net cash used in financing activities was $5.1 million primarily consisting of:
•
Net repayments of debt of $3.3 million related to the principal of secured equipment term loans,
•
Stock repurchases of $1.0 million, and
•
Payments on debt issuance costs of $0.8 million.
The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency are reflected in a separate line on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Through our foreign operations, we are exposed to currency fluctuations, and changes in the value of the GBP relative to the U.S. dollar have the most significant impacts to the effect of exchange rate changes on our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.
Material Cash Requirements
The factors that materially affect our overall liquidity include cash from or used to fund operations, capital expenditure commitments, debt service, pension funding, adequacy of bank lines of credit and our ability to attract capital on satisfactory terms. We believe that our cash flows from operating activities will be adequate to meet our working capital requirements. To support our capital expenditure program and/or other liquidity requirements, we may use any combination of operating cash flows, unrestricted cash balances, borrowings under our ABL Facility, proceeds from sales of assets, proceeds from debt or equity issuances, or other financing options.
As of March 31, 2025, approximately 70% of our total cash balance was held outside the U.S. Most of our cash held outside the U.S. could be repatriated to the U.S., and any such repatriation could be subject to additional taxes. If cash held by non-U.S. operations is required for funding operations in the U.S., we may make a provision for additional taxes in connection with repatriating this cash, which is not expected to have a significant impact on our results of operations.
We have no near-term debt maturities, other than the current portion of long-term debt of $19.2 million, and believe that our cash flows from operations and other sources of liquidity will continue to be sufficient in fulfilling our capital requirements and other obligations. Our long-term liquidity is dependent upon our ability to generate operating profits sufficient to meet our requirements for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures and a reasonable return on investment. As of March 31, 2025, we had $191.1 million of unrestricted cash and $63.2 million of remaining availability under our ABL Facility for total liquidity of $254.3 million.
As of March 31, 2025, our total debt balance, net of deferred financing fees, was $701.9 million and was primarily comprised of the 6.875% Senior Notes due in March 2028 and the UKSAR Debt and IRCG Debt maturing in March 2036 and June 2031, respectively.
We plan to use a combination of cash on hand, operating cash flows, debt financing and aircraft leasing to fund our projected future capital expenditures, which include our aircraft purchase commitments, infrastructure and other growth expenditure plans, primarily in support of new long-term contracts such as the UKSAR2G and IRCG contracts, among other growth opportunities.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We have various contractual obligations that are recorded as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and other executory contracts, are not recognized as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2025, we had unfunded capital commitments of $169.2 million, consisting primarily of agreements to purchase seven AW189 heavy helicopters, two AW139 medium helicopters and five AW169 light twin helicopters. The AW139 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered in 2025, and the AW189 helicopters are scheduled to be delivered in 2025 and 2026. Delivery dates for the AW169 helicopters have yet to be determined. In addition, the Company has outstanding options to purchase up to ten additional AW189 helicopters and ten additional H135 helicopters. If these options are exercised, the AW189 helicopters would be scheduled for delivery between 2026 and 2028, and the H135 helicopters would be scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2028. The Company may, from time to time, purchase aircraft for which it has no orders.
As of March 31, 2025, $34.0 million of our unfunded capital commitments may be terminated without further liability other than aggregate liquidated damages of approximately $1.1 million. If we do not exercise our rights to cancel these capital commitments, we expect to finance the remaining acquisition costs for these helicopters through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operating activities, asset sales and financing options.
Lease Obligations
From time to time, we may, under favorable market conditions and when necessary, enter into opportunistic aircraft lease agreements in support of our global operations.
We have non-cancelable operating leases in connection with the lease of certain equipment, including leases for aircraft, and land and facilities used in our operations. The related lease agreements, which range from non-cancelable to month-to-month terms, generally provide for fixed monthly rentals and can also include renewal options. As of March 31, 2025, aggregate undiscounted future payments under all non-cancelable operating leases that have initial or remaining terms in excess of one year were as follows (in thousands):

Selected Financial Information on Guarantors of Securities
On February 25, 2021, the Company issued its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2028. The 6.875% Senior Notes, issued under an indenture, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment by a number of subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Company is a holding company with no significant assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries. In order to meet its financial needs and obligations, the Company relies exclusively on income from dividends and other cash flow from such subsidiaries. The subsidiary guarantees provide that, in the event of a default on the 6.875% Senior Notes, the holders of the 6.875% Senior Notes may institute legal proceedings directly against the Guarantors to enforce the guarantees without first proceeding against the Company.
None of the non-Guarantor subsidiaries of the Company are under any direct obligation to pay or otherwise fund amounts due on the 6.875% Senior Notes or the guarantees, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. If such subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to the Company or Guarantors and sufficient cash or liquidity is not otherwise available, the Company or Guarantors may not be able to make principal and interest payments on their outstanding debt, including the 6.875% Senior Notes or the guarantees. The following selected financial information of the Guarantors presents a sufficient financial position of the Company to continue to fulfill its obligations under the requirements of the 6.875% Senior Notes. This selected financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes (in thousands).
