Oil-and-gas segment operating revenues decreased $43.6 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2016, related primarily to decreased aircraft flight revenues for all model types resulting predominately from fewer aircraft on contract and decreased flight hours.

Air medical segment operating revenues decreased $11 million due principally to decreased traditional provider program revenues resulting from reduced overseas operations. Technical services segment operating revenues decreased $2 million due primarily to a decrease in technical services provided to a third party customer.

Oil-and-gas segment loss was $7 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2016, compared to segment profit of $10.3 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2015. The decrease in segment profit was due to decreased revenues, which were only partially offset by decreased expenses.

Air medical segment profit was $14.9 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2016, compared to a segment profit of $17.7 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2015. The $2.8 million decrease in profit is attributable to the decreased operating revenues, partially offset by decreased expenses.
