Aeróleo. The Company acquired a 50% economic and 20% voting interest in Aeróleo in 2011. As a result of liquidity issues experienced by Aeróleo, it is unable to adequately finance its activities without additional financial support from the Company, making it a VIE. The Company has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect Aeróleo’s financial performance, making the Company the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company consolidates Aeróleo’s financial results.
The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 include assets of Aeróleo totaling $11.0 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The distribution of these assets to Era Group and its subsidiaries other than Aeróleo is subject to restrictions. The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 include liabilities of Aeróleo of $8.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively. The creditors for such liabilities do not have recourse to Era Group or its subsidiaries other than Aeróleo.
The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include operating revenues of $7.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively, and net loss of $2.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as a result of the consolidation of Aeróleo, including the effects of intercompany eliminations. The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include operating revenues of $17.2 million and $14.0 million, respectively, and net loss of $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as a result of the consolidation of Aeróleo, including the effects of intercompany eliminations.
