MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"AAR delivered another solid quarter with record sales and improved margins," said John M. Holmes, AAR's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our sales grew 26%, underpinned by strong organic growth of 12%, which accelerated from 6% in the first quarter. We saw 20% sales growth in our Parts Supply segment, led by a significant expansion in our commercial new parts distribution activities, and a return to growth in USM as high demand for engine and airframe components continued and asset availability improved. Sales in Repair & Engineering grew 57% year-over-year due to meaningful contributions from our Product Support acquisition and continued efficiency gains in our heavy maintenance hangars. The double-digit sales growth across our commercial and government businesses have us tracking toward another record year."

Holmes continued, "We were also pleased to secure new business wins in each of our core segments. In Parts Supply, we signed new distribution agreements with Chromalloy and Whippany Actuation Systems, and in Integrated Solutions we extended our Airinmar contract with Singapore Airlines. Shortly after the quarter closed, our Repair & Engineering segment announced a joint venture with Air France to support next generation aircraft in the Asia-Pacific region out of our Thailand facility. Additionally, as part of our strategy to focus on higher margin activities, we recently announced the divestiture of our Landing Gear Overhaul business, which we expect to be immediately accretive to margins and earnings upon closing."

"Furthermore, we drove significant expansion in our adjusted EBITDA margins, increasing to 11.4% in the quarter from 10.1% in the prior year quarter. As we continue to optimize our portfolio and drive efficiencies throughout our businesses, we anticipate continued margin expansion in the coming quarters," Holmes concluded.

RECENT UPDATES

NEW BUSINESS

Multi-year engine parts supply agreement to distribute Chromalloy's Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) parts for the CF6-80C2 engine type
Multi-year global agreement with Whippany Actuation Systems, a TransDigm Group business, to distribute all components and sub-assemblies for their actuation product line
Extension with Singapore Airlines for Airinmar's full suite of repair cycle management services
Agreement to form a joint venture in the Asia-Pacific region with Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance to support next generation aircraft

PORTFOLIO UPDATE

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company announced an agreement to divest its Landing Gear Overhaul business for $51 million. The divestiture is part of the Company's strategy to optimize its portfolio and focus on higher margin businesses with more significant growth potential.

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2025 RESULTS

Consolidated second quarter sales increased 26% to $686.1 million, compared to $545.4 million in the same quarter last year. This reflects a 30% increase in consolidated sales to commercial customers, primarily due to the acquisition of the Product Support business and strong demand throughout the Company's Parts Supply segment. Sales to government customers increased 16% from the same period last year, primarily due to increased order volume for new parts distribution activities. Sales to commercial customers were 73% of consolidated sales, compared to 71% in the prior year quarter.

Second quarter results include after-tax charges of $57.1 million associated with the recently announced FCPA settlement and related costs. As a result of these charges, the Company reported a net loss of $30.6 million, or $0.87 per share. For the second quarter of the prior year, the Company reported net income of $23.8 million, or $0.67 per diluted share. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 were $0.90, compared to $0.81 in the second quarter of the prior year.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $133.1 million in the current quarter, compared to $65.7 million in the prior year quarter. The second quarter included $59.2 million for the settlement of FCPA allegations and related costs. Acquisition, amortization, and integration expenses were $4.4 million in the quarter, compared to $3.1 million in the prior year quarter.

Operating margins were (0.3)% in the quarter, compared to 7.0% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating margin increased to 9.2% in the current year quarter from 8.1% in the prior year quarter, primarily as a result of growth in commercial sales. Sequentially, our adjusted operating margin increased from 9.1% to 9.2%, driven by improved profitability in our Repair & Engineering segment.

Net interest expense for the quarter was $18.8 million, compared to $5.6 million last year, primarily due to increased debt levels as a result of funding the Product Support acquisition. Average diluted share count increased from 35.3 million shares in the prior year quarter to 35.5 million shares in the current year quarter. Debt repayment remains a priority, but the Company will also continue to evaluate other attractive investment opportunities as well as share repurchases for capital deployment. Currently, $52.5 million remains on the existing $150 million share repurchase program.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $22.0 million during the current quarter, compared to cash provided of $17.4 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the accounts receivable financing program, cash flow provided by operating activities was $27.1 million in the current quarter. As of November 30, 2024, net debt was $935.3 million and net leverage, pro forma for the last 12 months adjusted EBITDA of the Product Support business, was 3.17x.

Holmes concluded, "We anticipate continued strong sales growth in the second half of fiscal year 2025. We also expect further margin expansion in the same period as we realize the benefits from continued growth in Parts Supply, synergies from the Product Support acquisition, and the completion of our recently announced divestiture. These margins should improve even further in fiscal year 2026 as we grow the higher margin Product Support business and our hangar expansions in Miami and Oklahoma City come online. Finally, we remain on track to reduce leverage following the Product Support acquisition as EBITDA increases and we generate operating cash."

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating margin, adjusted cash provided by (used in) operating activities, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, net debt to adjusted EBITDA (net leverage), and net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA (net pro forma 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 loss recognized from the U.S. government exercising their termination for convenience in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 for our Mobility 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:
