LAFAYETTE, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PHI, Inc. (The Nasdaq Select Global Market: PHII (voting) PHIIK (non-voting)) today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Consolidated operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased $170.1 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2015. Oil and Gas segment revenues decreased $135.5 million related primarily to decreased aircraft flight revenues resulting predominately from less aircraft on contract and decreased flight hours. Operating revenues in the Air Medical segment decreased $30.9 million, due principally to decreased revenues attributable to overseas operations. Technical Services segment revenues decreased $3.7 million due to a reduction in services provided to a third party customer. Consolidated net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $26.7 million, compared to net earnings of $26.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in earnings is primarily due to the decreased profits in our Oil and Gas and Air Medical segments, partially offset by an increase in profits in our Technical Services segment, net gains on asset dispositions and decreases in our Corporate unallocated costs.
Oil and Gas segment loss was $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to segment profit of $41.3 million for the prior year period. The decrease in segment profit was due to decreased revenues, which were only partially offset by decreased expenses.
Air Medical segment profit was $43.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to a segment profit of $55.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in profit is primarily attributable to the decreased revenues, partially offset by the decreased aircraft operating expenses.
Technical Services segment profit was $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. In 2015, we booked a loss in a project for a third party customer due to higher than expected labor hours incurred. In 2016, our project work associated with this customer was profitable.
For additional information, please see (i) the attachments hereto and (ii) the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 that we filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
