Bristow Group Inc

Capital Allocation

In February 2025, we announced a new capital allocation framework with key priorities that include: (i) protect and maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity position; (ii) pursue high impact, high return growth opportunities; and (iii) return capital to shareholders via opportunistic share repurchases and initiate quarterly dividend payments in 2026. Understanding that the Offshore Energy Services segment is inherently volatile, the Company recognizes the importance of maintaining a strong balance sheet that can withstand challenging market down cycles. As such, Bristow intends to pay down debt to a balance of approximately $500 million gross debt by the end of 2026. Bristow’s Board of Directors has approved a new $125 million share repurchase program that will be deployed on an opportunistic basis. In addition, the Company intends to initiate a quarterly dividend program beginning in the first quarter of 2026, with an initial dividend payment of $0.125 per share ($0.50 per share annualized).
