The earnings call summary and Q&A indicate strong financial performance, with significant growth in integrated solutions sales and a decrease in net debt leverage. The company has optimistic guidance for sales and margins, and the Delta Airlines win suggests potential for future growth. Although there are concerns about margin dilution from the HAECO acquisition, the overall sentiment is positive with expectations of margin expansion and strategic M&A opportunities. With a market cap of approximately $2.5 billion, the stock is likely to see a positive reaction of 2% to 8%.
Total Sales $795 million, a 16% year-over-year increase. This includes 12% organic growth. Sales growth to government customers increased 23%, and sales to commercial customers increased 13%.
Adjusted EBITDA $96.5 million, a 23% year-over-year increase. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 12.1% from 11.4%. This was driven by improved operating efficiencies and strong performance in the Parts Supply segment.
Adjusted Operating Income $81.2 million, a 28% year-over-year increase. Adjusted operating margins improved by 100 basis points from 9.2% to 10.2%. This was driven by sales growth and margin expansion.
Adjusted Diluted EPS $1.18 per share, a 31% year-over-year increase from $0.90 per share. This was due to the combination of sales growth and margin expansion.
Parts Supply Sales $354 million, a 29% year-over-year increase. New parts distribution activities grew 32% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA for this segment was $46.5 million, a 37% increase, with adjusted EBITDA margins increasing to 13.2% from 12.4%.
Repair and Engineering Sales $245 million, a 7% year-over-year increase. Adjusted EBITDA was $31.2 million, a 1% increase, with adjusted EBITDA margins decreasing to 12.8% from 13.5%. This was due to the mix of work, one-time costs, and the initial impact of the HAECO Americas acquisition.

Net Debt Leverage Decreased from 2.82x to 2.49x, achieving the target range of 2.0 to 2.5x. This was driven by earnings growth, balance sheet management, and an equity offering.
New parts distribution: Achieved 32% organic sales growth, marking the fastest-growing activity with over 20% annual growth for the last 4 years. Renewed key exclusive contracts with Collins Aerospace and Arkwin Industries. Acquired ADI for $138 million to expand new parts distribution, adding $150 million in sales and 400 employees.
Trax software: Announced partnership with Aeroxchange to enhance digital capabilities and integration for customers. Selected by Thai Airways to provide eMRO enterprise resource planning system and cloud hosting solution.
Market share gains: Two-way exclusive distribution model with OEMs has driven market share gains and a 100% renewal rate in contracts.
Geographic expansion: Eaton named AAR's Amsterdam facility as an authorized service center for hydraulic components across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Operational efficiency: Improved operating margins across segments, with adjusted EBITDA margins increasing to 12.1%. Integration of HAECO Americas facilities expected to improve margins over 12-18 months.
Facility expansions: Oklahoma City and Miami airframe heavy maintenance expansions to add $60 million in annual revenue by 2026.
Strategic acquisitions: Completed acquisitions of ADI ($138 million) and HAECO Americas ($77 million), with plans to acquire ART ($35 million). These acquisitions enhance parts distribution, airframe heavy maintenance, and aircraft modification capabilities.
Portfolio management: Exiting Indianapolis heavy maintenance site to reduce costs and improve margins, redistributing work to other facilities.
Integration of HAECO Americas: The integration process of HAECO Americas facilities is expected to take 12 to 18 months and will initially be margin dilutive. Challenges include revenue optimization, cost reduction, process improvements, and footprint rationalization. Labor availability and high costs at the Indianapolis site are persistent challenges, necessitating its closure and redistribution of work.
Acquisition of ADI: While ADI has performed above expectations, the integration process and achieving operational efficiencies to improve margins pose challenges. Leveraging OEM relationships to grow ADI's business will require strategic execution.
Airframe Heavy Maintenance Expansions: The expansions in Oklahoma City and Miami are progressing but will require significant investment and operational efficiency to achieve the projected $60 million in annual revenue. Delays or inefficiencies could impact financial outcomes.
Dependence on Exclusive Distribution Model: The company's reliance on a 2-way exclusive distribution model, while advantageous, could pose risks if OEM partners decide to change terms or if renewal rates decline from the current 100%.
Exit from Indianapolis Facility: The planned exit from the Indianapolis heavy maintenance site involves risks related to the redistribution of work and potential disruptions during the transition period.
Economic and Market Conditions: The company faces risks from broader economic uncertainties and market conditions that could impact sales growth, particularly in the commercial aviation sector.
Government Contracts: While government programs have driven growth, reliance on achieving key program milestones and favorable contract terms poses risks if these conditions are not met.
Q3 Sales Growth: Total sales growth expected in the range of 20% to 22%, including the impact of two recent acquisitions. Organic sales growth for Q3 is expected to be 8% to 11%, excluding the divestiture of Landing Gear and the impact of the ADI and HAECO acquisitions.
Q3 Adjusted Operating Margin: Expected to be in the range of 9.8% to 10.1%.
Full Fiscal Year Sales Growth: Total sales growth expected to approach 17%, with organic sales growth approaching 11%.
Airframe Heavy Maintenance Expansions: Ongoing expansions in Oklahoma City and Miami are expected to come online in calendar 2026, adding approximately $60 million in annual revenue.
HAECO Americas Integration: Integration activities expected to take 12 to 18 months, with improvements in operational and financial performance anticipated. Margin improvements expected as integration progresses.
Aircraft Reconfig Technologies (ART) Acquisition: Expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, expanding capabilities in complex aircraft modification work and accelerating parts PMA development efforts.
