PHI, Inc. (The Nasdaq Global Market: PHII (voting) PHIIK (non-voting)) today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Consolidated operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased $20.2 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. Oil and Gas segment revenues increased $27.8 million primarily as a result of higher Gulf of Mexico deepwater drilling activity, which drove higher utilization of our heavy aircraft. Operating revenues in the Air Medical segment increased $22.3 million, primarily due to an expansion of our traditional provider programs, as well as increased revenues from our independent provider programs, driven by an improvement in our payor mix and rate increases implemented over the past year. Technical Services segment revenues decreased $70.4 million primarily due to the sale of seven aircraft for use by a customer in one of Air Medical’s traditional provider programs in the prior year, which did not recur in the current year.

Oil and Gas segment profit was $100.6 million for 2014, compared to segment profit of $91.7 million for 2013. The increase in segment profit was due to increased revenues, which were only partially offset by increased direct expenses. These revenue increases resulted from increases in heavy and light aircraft flight hours and incremental rate increases across all aircraft models implemented over the past year.

Air Medical segment profit was $46.8 million for 2014, compared to segment profit of $37.1 million for 2013. The increase in profit is primarily attributable to increased profits from our independent provider programs due to increased revenues resulting from rate increases and a favorable payor mix. Profits from our traditional provider programs increased due to expansion of our overseas operations.

Technical Services segment’s profit increased by $2.8 million, from $1.3 million for 2013 to $4.1 million for 2014, due to an expansion of technical services provided to a third party customer under a project we expect to complete in the third quarter of 2015.

Consolidated net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $32.7 million, compared to net earnings of $58.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease of $26.2 million is primarily attributable to the after-tax charge of $18.2 million related to the early retirement of our 8.625% Senior Notes and the net after-tax decrease of $16.3 million in gain/losses and impairments on assets in 2014. These decreases were partially offset by increased profits in each of our segments. Exclusive of the loss on debt extinguishment and the net decrease in asset gains/losses and impairments, our net earnings for 2014 and 2013 would have been $57.8 million and $49.2 million, respectively, which represents an $8.6 million increase.

Also, during the fourth quarter of 2014, we received a five year and a seven year contract extension from two major oil and gas customers.

Al Gonsoulin commented, “We are quite pleased with the 2014 results as we experienced growth in revenues in our Oil and Gas and Air Medical segments and increased profits in all three segments. The decrease in revenue in our Technical Services segment can be attributed to the 2013 non-recurring sale of seven aircraft for use by a customer in one of Air Medical’s traditional provider programs. Also, favorable market conditions in early 2014 enabled us to replace our $300 million 8.625% Senior Notes with new $500 million 5.25% Senior Notes with an extended maturity date and less restrictive covenants, positioning our company for long-term future growth opportunities.”

For additional information, please see (i) the attachments hereto, including a reconciliation statement which provides supplemental information reconciling our GAAP net earnings to net earnings before non-recurring items and (ii) the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 that we filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
