Headquartered in Houston, TX Fiscal year ends December NYSE: VTOL bristowgroup.com
Bristow Group Inc. (NYSE: VTOL) provides mission-critical aviation services to government entities, offshore energy companies and other customers. It operates through three segments:
- Offshore Energy Services, about 59% of Q3 2026 revenue: personnel transportation and logistics for offshore oil and gas operators in Europe, the Americas and Africa.
- Government Services, about 30%: search and rescue contracts such as UK search and rescue and the Irish Coast Guard, plus special missions, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), medevac and unmanned systems. Bristow Special Missions, formerly Berry Aviation and acquired in July 2026, now contributes to this segment.
- Other Services, about 11%: fixed-wing operations including activity in Australia, on-demand cargo logistics, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO).
As of September 30, 2026, Bristow operated a 234-aircraft fleet:
- 87 heavy helicopters (S92 and AW189).
- 68 medium helicopters (AW139, S76 and H160).
- 15 light-twin and 25 light-single helicopters.
- 36 fixed-wing aircraft and 3 UAS.
It has a presence in 20 countries across six continents and about 3,859 employees. The company is also involved in advanced air mobility initiatives and returns capital through quarterly dividends and opportunistic buybacks. Updated
Earnings landed well short of expectations even as revenue hit consensus, with an operating loss of $1.43 million in Government Services as aircraft modification delays drag on search-and-rescue contracts. Management kept the full-year adjusted EBITDA midpoint intact and says supply chain pressure stabilizes in 2027, so keep an eye on the margin recovery timeline on tomorrow's call.
