Business Review
The Company's principal activity is that of an intermediary investment holding company.

interest receivable on long term loans with other group companies as the Company does not trade.
Principal risks and uncertainties
Foreign exchange risks and controls may affect our financial position and results of
operations.
Labour problems could adversely affect us.
We are subject to government regulation that limits foreign ownership of aircraft companies.
Our failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could have an adverse effect on us.
We face substantial competition in the helicopter services sector.
Our operations are subject to weather related and seasonal fluctuations.
Environmental regulations and liabilities may increase our costs and adversely affect us.
Our dependence on a small number of helicopter manufacturers poses a significant risk to or   
business and prospects.
A shortfall in availability of aircraft components and parts required for maintenance and
repairs for our aircraft and supplier cost increases could adversely affect us. And
A major helicopter safety incident, with Bristow or beyond, which could lead our customers to
use alternative means of transportation.

success of the Company and for the benefit of its members as a whole in accordance with section
172 of the UK Companies Act 2006. The references to employees in the below statements relates
to employees of associated companies as this Company does not employ any staff. The Directors
have regard to matters such as, but not limited to:
1) The likely consequences of long-term decisions
The directors continue to take a long-term view on the business, continuously analysing market
conditions and seeking diversification opportunities when and where they arise in order to
strengthen the business portfolio.
2) The interests of the Company’s employees
The Company prides itself on having a highly skilled, motivated, workforce working in an industry
where safety is paramount. Employees are subject to continuous training and annual reviews where
employees have the opportunity to give feedback as well as to receive feedback.
3) Business relationships with suppliers, customers, and others
The Company’s relationship with customers, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and other
suppliers are significant in maintaining the Bristow brand with regards to quality, reliability and
safety. The directors also consider the views and interests of other stakeholders relating to the
Company’s business, including the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), other UK government
agencies and regulators, European and other international organisations such as the European
Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
4) Impact of the Company’s operations on the community and the environment
The directors have available information and data relating to all aspects of the business, to enable
them to understand the Company’s operations and the interests and views of the key stakeholders,

conduct

Caledonian Helicopters Limited
6) The need to act fairly between members of the Company
The board of directors participate in board meetings frequently during which operational matters,
strategy, business risks and legal and regulatory matters are discussed. These meetings enable the
directors to keep abreast of the Company’s operations and ongoing engagement with their
stakeholders.
Directors will engage (either individually or together) directly with some of the stakeholders on
certain issues. Other times, engagement will be at an operational level, but always under the
direction and supervision of the board of directors.

Directors’ responsibilities statement

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
assess the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern; and
use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Company
or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show
and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time in the
financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply
with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the
Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other
irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CALEDONIAN HELICOPTERS
LIMITED
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of
its profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
We have audited the financial statements of Caledonian Helicopters Limited (“the Company”) for the
year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account and Other
Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting
framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom
Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors’ use of the going concern
basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial
statements are authorised for issue. However, because not all future events or conditions can be
predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are
described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to
the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the
8
Caledonian Helicopters Limited
course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives
rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Other Companies Act 2006 reporting
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors’ report for the financial year for
which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with
applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the
course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the
Directors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act
2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not
been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors’ responsibilities statement, the Directors are responsible for
the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view,
and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these financial statements. However, the primary responsibility for the
prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the Company and
management.
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
9
Caledonian Helicopters Limited
Non-compliance with laws and regulations
Based on:
Our understanding of the Company and the industry in which it operates;
Discussion with management and those charged with governance; and
Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures regarding compliance
with laws and regulations.
We considered the significant laws and regulations to be UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice,
the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation.
The Company is also subject to laws and regulations where the consequence of non-compliance
could have a material effect on the amount or disclosures in the financial statements, for example
through the imposition of fines or litigations. We identified such laws and regulations to be the health
and safety legislation, anti-bribery legislation and anti-slavery legislation.
Our procedures in respect of the above included:
Enquiries of management whether there were any litigations and claims;
Review of minutes of meetings of those charged with governance for any instances of non-
compliance with laws and regulations;
Review of financial statement disclosures and agreeing to supporting documentation; and
Review of legal expenditure accounts to understand the nature of expenditure incurred.
Fraud
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including fraud.
Our risk assessment procedures included:
Enquiry with management and those charged with governance regarding any known or
suspected instances of fraud;
Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures relating to:
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud; and
Internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud.
Review of minutes of meetings of those charged with governance for any known or suspected
instances of fraud;
Discussion amongst the engagement team as to how and where fraud might occur in the
financial statements;
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may
indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and
Considering remuneration incentive schemes and performance targets and the related
financial statement areas impacted by these.
Based on our risk assessment, we considered the areas most susceptible to fraud to be management
override of controls.
Our procedures in respect of the above included:
Testing a sample of journal entries throughout the year, which met defined risk criteria, by
agreeing to supporting documentation; and
Assessing significant estimates made by management for bias.
On this audit, we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition because there are
no revenue transactions.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all
engagement team members who were all deemed to have appropriate competence and capabilities
and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout
the audit. 
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial
statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher
10
Caledonian Helicopters Limited
than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by,
for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the
audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is
from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to
become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at:
https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of
Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to
anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this
report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Cash Flow Statement and related notes; and
Key Management Personnel compensation.
As the consolidated financial statements of Bristow Group Inc. include the disclosures equivalent to
those required by FRS 102, the Company has also taken the exemptions available in respect of the
following disclosures:
Certain disclosures required by FRS 102.26 Share-based Payments;
Certain disclosures required by FRS 102.11 Basic Financial Instruments;
Certain disclosures required by FRS 102.12 Other Financial Instrument Issues in respect
of financial instruments not falling within the fair value accounting rules of Paragraph
36(4) of Schedule 1; and
Certain disclosures required by FRS 102.29 Income Tax in respect of Pillar Two Income
Taxes.
1.2 Use of judgements and estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of
certain critical accounts estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying
the Company’s accounting policies.

Caledonian Helicopters Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies.
In the opinion of the directors no critical accounting judgements have been made in applying the
Company’s accounting policies.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions.
See impairment of financial and non-financial assets
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption available under FRS 102 from disclosing
transactions with its parent undertaking and other subsidiary undertakings where 100% of the voting
rights are controlled within the group.
1.3 Foreign currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the respective Company operates. The financial statements
are presented in USD, which is the functional and presentation currency of Caledonian Helicopters
Limited
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the Company’s functional currency at the foreign
exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are retranslated to the functional currency at the
foreign exchange rate ruling at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange
differences arising on translation are recognised in the profit and loss account.
1.4 Going concern
Notwithstanding net current liabilities of $4,249,022 (excluding debtors receivable after more than
one year) as at 31 December 2025 the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons.
The directors have evaluated the Company’s third party financial obligations and considered the
income and costs recharged by and to fellow Bristow Group subsidiaries, including reasonably
possible downsides, for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial
statements (‘the forecast period’). The directors’ evaluation reflects how the Company has no
significant forecast cash outflows or financial commitments to counterparties which are outside of
the Bristow Group.
The Company’s going concern is dependent on Bristow Group not seeking repayment of the
amounts currently due to the group, which at 31 December 2025 amounted to $3,604,628 (due
within one year) and providing additional financial support during that period. Bristow Group has
indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company, and
that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts due at the balance sheet date, for the
period covered by the forecasts. As with any company placing reliance on other group companies
for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will
continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to
believe that it will not do so.
The Company’s activities and purpose as an intermediary investment holding company are
dependent upon the overall continuing operation of Bristow Group Inc. The directors have made
enquiries relating to the financial performance and position of Bristow Group Inc., as at the date of
approval of these financial statements. No matters which may reasonably possibly impact the ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern have been identified from these enquiries.
16
Caledonian Helicopters Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to
meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the
financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
1.5 Interest receivable and payable
Interest income and interest payable are recognised on a pro rata basis, taking account of the
effective interest rate of the assets and liabilities to which they relate.
1.6 Taxation
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the
profit and loss account except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or
other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other
comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year,
using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustments to
tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion of income and
expenses in tax  assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the
financial statements. The following timing differences are not provided for: differences between
accumulated depreciation and tax allowances for the cost of a fixed asset if and when all conditions
for retaining the tax allowances have been met; and differences relating to investments in
subsidiaries, to the extent that it is not probable that they will reverse in the foreseeable future and
the reporting entity is able to control the reversal of the timing difference.
Deferred tax is not recognised on permanent differences arising because certain types of income or
expense are non-taxable or are disallowable for tax or because certain tax charges or allowances
are greater or smaller than the corresponding income or expense.
Deferred tax is provided in respect of the additional tax that will be paid or avoided on differences
between the amount at which an asset (other than goodwill) or liability is recognised in a business
combination and the corresponding amount that can be deducted or assessed for tax.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the reversal of the related
difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax
balances are not discounted.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that is
probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future
taxable profits.
1.7  Classification of financial instruments
In accordance with FRS 102.22, financial statements issues by the Company are treated as
equity only to the extent that they meet the following two conditions:
(a)they include no contractual obligations upon the Company to deliver cash or other
financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another
party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Company; and
(b) where the instrument will or may be settled in the Company's own equity instruments,
it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to deliver a variable number of
the Company's own equity instruments or is a derivative that will be settled by the
Company's exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed
number of its own equity instruments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.8  Impairment of financial and non-financial assets
Financial assets (including trade and other debtors)
A financial asset not carried at a fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting
date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired, including but not
limited to considerations around cash sweep account system, the net asset or liability position
of the debtor, and forward-looking information such as cashflow projections. A financial asset
is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial
recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future
cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated at
the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. For financial instruments
measured at cost less impairment an impairment is calculated as the difference between its
carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that the company would receive for the
asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be
recognised through the unwinding of the discount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit
or loss. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the
decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit and loss.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amount of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and
deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is
estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair
value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset. For the purpose of
impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the
smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely
independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating
unit”).
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its
estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses recognised are reversed only if the reasons for the impairment have
ceased to apply.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any
indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed
only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has
been recognised.
1.9 Valuation of investments
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
1.10 Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are
measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
1.11  Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank
loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently
at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Factors that may affect future tax charges
Global minimum top-up tax (Pillar Two)
The Group operates in jurisdictions, including the UK, that have enacted legislation implementing
the OECD Pillar Two global minimum tax rules, effective from 1 January 2024.
For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group has reassessed its exposure to the Pillar Two
rules. Based on the Group’s current assessment, any Pillar Two top‑up tax exposure is expected to
be immaterial. No significant current or deferred tax impacts have arisen for this entity as a result of
the legislation.
The Pillar Two Global Anti‑Base Erosion (GloBE) rules introduced by the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development apply to multinational enterprise groups with consolidated annual
revenue of at least €750 million.
