Quarter Highlights

• Net sales increased primarily in Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft, while sales in Industrial declined due to simplification actions.
• Operating margin declined modestly due to the absence of the prior year's one-time 150 basis point benefit from the Employee Retention Credit (ERC), masking stronger operational performance.
• Adjusted operating margin declined due to the absence of prior year benefit which offset stronger operational performance, primarily in Industrial and in Military Aircraft.
• Diluted net earnings per share declined due to last year's ERC, partially offset by lower adjustments and higher operating margin.
• Adjusted diluted net earnings per share declined due to last year's ERC, partially offset by higher adjusted operating margin.
• Free cash flow was driven by lower working capital requirements.
• Twelve-month backlog remained steady at $2.5 billion.
• Reiterated 2025 guidance, noting potential net tariff risk to operating profit of $10 million to $20 million.

"We have delivered another quarter of strong financial results due to our unrelenting focus on operational performance," said Pat Roche, CEO. "We achieved record sales and drove improved operating margin and earnings per share, both net of the prior year's one-time Employee Retention Credit. In addition, we delivered free cash flow in line with our plan."

Segment Results

Sales in the second quarter of 2025 increased marginally to $935 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. Military Aircraft sales increased 6% to $214 million, driven by the continued ramp-up of the FLRAA program. Commercial Aircraft sales increased 4% to $216 million, reflecting strong aftermarket demand partially offset by production delays on certain business jet and narrow-body programs. Space and Defense sales increased 1% to $270 million, supported by broad-based defense demand. These gains were partially offset by a 7% decline in Industrial sales to $234 million, primarily due to divestitures and purposeful product exits.

Operating margin was 11.7% in the second quarter, down 30 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024, which included a one-time 150 basis point benefit from the ERC. Space and Defense operating margin declined 370 basis points to 12.1%, reflecting the absence of the prior year's ERC benefit. Commercial Aircraft operating margin declined 20 basis points to 11.8%, driven by pressures arising from OEM customers' production delays, partially offset by stronger aftermarket activity. Partially offsetting these margin declines was a Military Aircraft operating margin increase of 280 basis points to 11.1%. Lower amounts of restructuring and other charges, along with stronger operational performance in the current quarter, were partially offset by the prior year's benefits of the mature product line sale and the ERC. Additionally, Industrial operating margin increased 50 basis points to 11.6%, driven by simplification initiatives.

Adjusted operating margin excludes $14 million and $7 million in restructuring and other charges in the second quarters of 2024 and 2025, respectively. Excluding these charges, total company adjusted operating margin decreased 110 basis points from 13.6% in 2024 to 12.5% in 2025. However, adjusted operating margin increased 40 basis points from a year ago, excluding the ERC benefit. Adjusted operating margin in Industrial increased 90 basis points to 13.4% driven by simplification initiatives. Commercial Aircraft adjusted operating margin declined 20 basis points to 11.8%, driven by pressures arising from OEM customers' production delays, partially offset by stronger aftermarket activity. Military Aircraft adjusted operating margin decreased 140 basis points as the prior year's benefits of the mature product line sale and the ERC were partially offset by stronger operational performance in the current quarter. Space and Defense adjusted operating margin decreased 330 basis points due to the absence of the prior year's ERC.

Free Cash Flow Results

Free cash flow in the second quarter was $2 million. This result reflects strong earnings, halted growth in physical inventories and secured customer advances, partially offset by the timing of collections.

2025 Financial Guidance

"Our underlying business is strong, and we are reiterating our guidance on sales, adjusted operating margin and adjusted earnings per share," said Jennifer Walter, CFO. "We acknowledge the potential for pressure on our results from tariffs and we are taking appropriate steps to significantly mitigate the impact on our business."

Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.

However, management believes these adjusted financial measures may be useful in evaluating the liquidity, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
