SEGMENT INFORMATION
We conduct our business in one segment: Helicopter Services. Effective April 1, 2015, we reorganized our Helicopter Services global operations from five business units to four regions as follows: Europe Caspian, Africa, Americas and Asia Pacific. The Europe Caspian region comprises all our operations and affiliates in Europe and Central Asia, including Norway, the U.K. and Turkmenistan. The Africa region comprises all our operations and affiliates on the African continent, including Nigeria, Tanzania and Egypt. The Americas region comprises all our operations and affiliates in North America and South America, including Brazil, Canada, Trinidad and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The Asia Pacific region comprises all our operations and affiliates in Australia and Southeast Asia, including Malaysia and Sakhalin. Amounts presented below for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 and as of March 31, 2015 have been restated to conform to current period presentation. Additionally, we operate a training unit, Bristow Academy, which is included in Corporate and other.
