Omni Helicopters International Secures R$200 Million in New Financing
Omni Helicopters International (OHI) has successfully raised R$200 million (approximately $38 million) through two financing facilities completed in Q4 2026. The funding consists of a Brazilian debenture with a two-year maturity and a bank credit note with a four-year maturity. These transactions are secured against specific cash flows from the Group's service contracts with Petrobras, demonstrating OHI's ability to leverage its established revenue base within Brazilian credit markets. The capital is intended to support growth plans, working capital requirements, and overall liquidity management. CEO Jeremy Akel noted that the company remains focused on operational excellence and deleveraging, aiming to reduce its net leverage ratio to the low-3x range by 2027. The financing structure utilizes a designated collection account via Petrobras's Progredir portal to ensure debt service while allowing OHI access to surplus cash.
