MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"We delivered another strong quarter of significant year-over-year sales and earnings growth," said John M. Holmes, AAR's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Sales were 20% higher than in the same quarter last year as demand remains elevated for our aftermarket services. Parts Supply sales increased 12%, driven by impressive gains in our new parts Distribution with both commercial and government activities. Our Repair & Engineering segment sales increased more than 53% year-over-year, with significant contributions from the Product Support acquisition as well as increased throughput within our Airframe MRO facilities. Integrated Solutions also posted meaningful earnings growth from both commercial and government programs as well as notable contributions from Trax."

Holmes continued, "We are particularly proud of the progress on EBITDA margin which expanded from 10.3% to 12.0% year-over-year. In addition to contributions from our Product Support acquisition, our internal initiatives to drive efficiency improvements continue to produce meaningful results. We are focused on further increasing our margins as we fully integrate the Product Support acquisition and drive additional efficiencies throughout the Company."

"Subsequent to the quarter, we announced several new business wins, including signing an exclusive agreement with Chromalloy to distribute their BELAC PW4000 PMA parts. We also added distribution support for select Unison parts under our Supplier Capabilities Contract with Defense Logistics Agency $(DLA)$. These wins further validate our unique value proposition to both customers and suppliers as a leading independent distributor in the aviation aftermarket. Separately, and also subsequent to the quarter, we announced that Cathay Pacific selected Trax to be the maintenance operating system for the airline."

PORTFOLIO UPDATE

   -- Expected timing of the sale of our Landing Gear Overhaul business for $51 
      million is set for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The 
      divestiture is part of the Company's strategy to optimize its portfolio. 

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2025 RESULTS

Consolidated third quarter sales increased 20% to $678.2 million, compared to $567.3 million in the same quarter last year. This reflects a 22% increase in consolidated sales to commercial customers, primarily due to the Product Support acquisition and strong demand throughout the Company's Parts Supply segment. Sales to government customers increased 15% from the same period last year, primarily due to increased order volume for new parts Distribution activities. Sales to commercial customers were 72% of consolidated sales, compared to 70% in the prior year quarter.

Third quarter results include a pre-tax charge of $63.7 million associated with the recently announced divestiture of the Company's Landing Gear Overhaul business. As a result of this charge, the Company reported a net loss of $8.9 million, or $0.25 per share. For the third quarter of the prior year, the Company reported net income of $14.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 were $0.99, compared to $0.85 in the third quarter of the prior year.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $61.3 million in the current quarter, compared to $77.0 million in the prior year quarter. The third quarter included the reversal of a legal charge of $11.1 million related to the Russian court judgment which AAR successfully appealed. Acquisition, amortization, and integration expenses were $5.3 million in the quarter, compared to $12.2 million in the prior year quarter.

Operating margins were 10.5% in the quarter, compared to 5.8% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating margin increased to 9.7% in the current year quarter from 8.3% in the prior year quarter, primarily as a result of growth in Repair & Engineering. Sequentially, our adjusted operating margin increased from 9.2% to 9.7%, driven by improved profitability in Parts Supply as well as Trax and government-related services in Integrated Solutions.

Net interest expense for the quarter was $18.1 million, compared to $11.3 million last year, primarily due to increased debt levels as a result of funding the Product Support acquisition. Average diluted share count increased from 35.2 million shares in the prior year quarter to 35.4 million shares in the current year quarter.

Cash flow used in operating activities was $18.7 million during the current quarter, compared to $20.4 million of cash provided in the prior year quarter. As a reminder, during the quarter, we paid the $56 million FCPA settlement which was a use of cash within operating activities. Excluding the accounts receivable financing program, cash flow used in operating activities was $15.0 million in the current quarter. As of February 28, 2025, net debt was $947.6 million and net leverage was 3.06x.

Holmes concluded, "We are proud of the sales growth and significant margin expansion we delivered this quarter. Demand for our services remains very high and we anticipate our sales growth to continue. Additionally, we expect further margin expansion through growth in new parts Distribution, Trax, Airframe MRO efficiencies and the realization of Product Support synergies. We have reduced our net leverage from 3.58x at the time of the Product Support acquisition to 3.06x one year later. We expect further deleveraging in our fourth quarter and throughout our fiscal year 2026. We believe our continued growth, margin expansion, and disciplined capital allocation will drive additional value to shareholders."

Forward-looking statements often address our expected future operating and financial performance and financial condition, or targets, goals, commitments, and other business plans, and often may also be identified because they contain words such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "likely," "may," "might," "plan, " "potential," "predict," "project," "seek," "should," "target," "will," "would," or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.

These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of Company management, as well as assumptions and estimates based on information available to the Company as of the dates such assumptions and estimates are made, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated, depending on a variety of factors, including: (i) factors that adversely affect the commercial aviation industry; (ii) adverse events and negative publicity in the aviation industry; (iii) a reduction in sales to the U.S. government and its contractors; (iv) cost overruns and losses on fixed-price contracts; (v) nonperformance by subcontractors or suppliers; (vi) a reduction in outsourcing of maintenance activity by airlines; (vii) a shortage of skilled personnel or work stoppages; (viii) competition from other companies; (ix) financial, operational and legal risks arising as a result of operating internationally; (x) inability to integrate acquisitions effectively and execute operational and financial plans related to the acquisitions, such as the acquisition of Trax USA Corp. and the Product Support Business of Triumph Group, Inc.; (xi) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; (xii) circumstances associated with divestitures; (xiii) inability to recover costs due to fluctuations in market values for aviation products and equipment; (xiv) cyber or other security threats or disruptions; (xv) a need to make significant capital expenditures to keep pace with technological developments in our industry; (xvi) restrictions on use of intellectual property and tooling important to our business; (xvii) inability to fully execute our stock repurchase program and return capital to stockholders; (xviii) limitations on our ability to access the debt and equity capital markets or to draw down funds under loan agreements; (xix) non-compliance with restrictive and financial covenants contained in our debt and loan agreements; (xx) changes in or non-compliance with laws and regulations related to federal contractors, the aviation industry, international operations, safety, and environmental matters, and the costs of complying with such laws and regulations; and (xxi) exposure to product liability and property claims that may be in excess of our liability insurance coverage. Should one or more of those risks or uncertainties materialize adversely, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described. Those events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond our control.

For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part I, "Item 1A, Risk Factors" and our other filings from time to time with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission. These events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond the Company's control. The risks described in these reports are not the only risks we face, as additional risks and uncertainties are not currently known or foreseeable or impossible to predict accurately or risks that are beyond the Company's control or deemed immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating margin, adjusted cash provided by (used in) operating activities, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA (net leverage) are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful for investors as they illustrate our core operating performance, cash flows, and leverage unaffected by the impact of certain items that management does not believe are indicative of our ongoing and core operating activities. When reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business and provide a means by which to compare our operating performance and leverage against that of other companies in the industries we compete. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments for certain items including, but not limited to, the following:

   -- Costs associated with U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") matters 
      that we self-reported to the U.S. Department of Justice and other 
      agencies, including investigation costs and settlement charges. 
 
   -- Expenses associated with recent acquisition activity, including 
      professional fees for legal, due diligence, and other acquisition 
      activities, bridge financing fees, intangible asset amortization, 
      integration costs, and compensation expense related to contingent 
      consideration and retention agreements. 
 
   -- Pension settlement charges associated with the settlement and termination 
      of our frozen defined benefit pension plan. 
 
   -- Legal judgments related to or impacted by the Russia/Ukraine conflict. 
 
   -- Contract termination/restructuring costs comprised of gains and losses 
      that are recognized at the time of modifying, terminating, or 
      restructuring certain customer and vendor contracts, including the impact 
      from the U.S. government exercising their termination for convenience in 
      the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 for our Mobility Systems business's 
      new-generation pallet contract. 
 
   -- Losses related to our exit from our Indian joint venture, our Landing 
      Gear Overhaul business, and our Composites manufacturing business, 
      including legal fees for the performance guarantee associated with the 
      Composites' A220 aircraft contract. 

Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest income (expense), other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and items of an unusual nature including but not limited to business divestitures and acquisitions, FCPA investigation, settlement and remediation compliance costs, pension settlement charges, certain legal judgments, acquisition, integration, and amortization expenses from recent acquisition activity, and significant customer contract terminations.

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G of the Exchange Act, we are providing the following tables that reconcile the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures:
