Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026
- The management of our fleet involves a careful evaluation of the expected demand for aviation services across global markets, segments and the types of aircraft needed to meet this demand.
- 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 consistently evaluate the best uses of our cash flow and aim to yield the highest value and return on capital.
- During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we completed the refinancing of our senior notes and ABL at lower rates and extended maturity dates in support of this target.
- We also announced plans to pursue the sale of our Norway Offshore Energy Services business as part of our portfolio optimization strategy.
- Our primary uses of liquidity include working capital needs to fund operations, meeting our capital commitments and growth expenditure plans (including the purchase of aircraft, property and other equipment), the repurchase of stock or debt securities, payment of debt service obligations and executing on our other capital allocation targets.
