StandardAero Announces Second Quarter Results

Strong first half of year, gives confidence for another FY2025 Guidance raise

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — StandardAero (NYSE: SARO) announced results today for the three months ended June 30, 2025 ("Second Quarter 2025").

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

"Our strong execution in the second quarter drove continued operational excellence, resulting in solid double-digit revenue growth and further net income margin and adjusted EBITDA margin improvement. Based on our performance through the first half of 2025, we are increasing our full-year financial targets," said Russell Ford, StandardAero's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Ford continued, "The commercial aerospace aftermarket remains robust, and our teams continue to deliver outstanding service to our growing customer base. We've achieved significant milestones in our LEAP engine program, delivering our first engines, expanding our customer relationships and strengthening our market position. Looking ahead, we remain focused on operational efficiency and our strategic growth initiatives, while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to evolving market conditions."

Second Quarter 2025 Results

StandardAero reported revenue for Second Quarter 2025 of $1,528.9 million, an increase of $181.7 million, or 13.5%, compared to $1,347.2 million for the prior year period. The increase was driven by both the Engine Services and Component Repair Services segments, with continued strength across the commercial aerospace and business aviation end markets, which increased 13.7% and 8.9%, respectively, year-on-year. The military and helicopter end market increased 11.7% compared to the prior year period, driven by the contribution of the Aero Turbine, Inc. ("ATI") acquisition.

Net income was $67.7 million for the Second Quarter 2025, as compared to net income of $5.4 million for the prior year period, an increase of $62.3 million. The increase in net income compared to the prior year period primarily reflects a $30.5 million improvement in operating income and $34.2 million in lower interest expense associated with the company's post-IPO capital structure. This resulted in an improved net income margin of 4.4% compared to 0.4% for the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $34.3 million, or 20.1% to $204.6 million for the Second Quarter 2025, as compared to $170.4 million for the prior year period, with Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 80 basis points from 12.6% to 13.4% year-on-year. The margin expansion was driven by higher volume, mix, pricing and productivity initiatives at both the Engine Services segment and the Component Repair Services segment, the latter of which also benefited from margin growth at ATI.

Net debt, calculated as total funded debt, net of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, was $2,262.5 million compared to $3,266.0 million as of June 30, 2024. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months was 3.0x compared to 5.4x at the end of the prior year period.

Second Quarter 2025 Segment Results

Engine Services Segment

Engine Services segment revenue increased $139.2 million, or 11.5%, to $1,350.7 million for the Second Quarter 2025, compared to the prior year period. Notable drivers included robust aftermarket activity across key established platforms

and accelerating production ramp on growth programs in commercial aerospace, as well as strong performance in business aviation.

Engine Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $24.8 million, or 16.2%, to $178.5 for the Second Quarter 2025, from $153.7 million for the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margins in the segment expanded 50 basis points year-on-year from 12.7% to 13.2%, driven by favorable product mix, volume growth, pricing and productivity improvements.

Component Repair Services Segment

Component Repair Services segment revenue increased $42.5 million, or 31.3%, to $178.3 million for the Second Quarter 2025, compared to the prior year period. The revenue increase was primary attributable to our growth platforms, our Land & Marine business, the contribution of $27.3 million from the ATI acquisition, and robust underlying demand across our served platforms.

Component Repair Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $17.1 million, or 49.6%, to $51.6 million for the Second Quarter 2025, from $34.5 million for the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margins in the segment expanded 360 basis points year-on-year from 25.4% to 29.0%. This increase reflects continued margin expansion from the ATI acquisition, as well as volume, pricing and favorable mix.

Full Year 2025 Guidance

"The strength in the demand environment within our three main end-markets, coupled with our better than expected operations in both of our segments, gives us the confidence to once again raise our 2025 guidance, despite continued industry-wide supply chain strains," Mr. Ford said. "This is a result of our pure-play engine aftermarket model, disciplined execution and the growth investments we have been making over the past few years."

Mr. Ford continued, "As we ramp up our growth initiatives, including key platform programs and capacity expansion, we expect to see compounding benefits throughout the coming years, driving revenue growth, continued margin expansions, and attractive free cash flow for our business. Our focus remains on delivering consistent, sustainable performance, and we think we are well positioned to achieve our financial targets for 2025."

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foreseeable,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” or “would” and/or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future. They appear in a number of places throughout this press release and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the net impact from tariffs, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, the industry in which we operate and other information that is not historical information. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this presentation, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or quantify.

Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning our possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements included in this press release include, among others: risks related to conditions that affect the commercial and business aviation industries; decreases in budget, spending or outsourcing by our military end-users; risks from any supply chain disruptions or loss of key suppliers; increased costs of labor, equipment, raw materials, freight and utilities due to inflation; future outbreaks and infectious diseases; risks related to competition in the market in which we participate; loss of an OEM authorization or license; risks related to a significant portion of our revenue being derived from a small number of customers; our ability to remediate effectively the material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting; our ability to respond to changes in GAAP; our or our third-party partners’ failure to protect confidential information; data security incidents or disruptions to our IT systems and capabilities; our ability to comply with laws relating to the handling of information about individuals; changes to United States tariff and import/export regulations; failure to maintain our regulatory approvals; risks relating to our

operations outside of North America; failure to comply with government procurement laws and regulations; any work stoppage, hiring, retention or succession issues with our senior management team and employees; any strains on our resources due to the requirements of being a public company; risks related to our indebtedness; our success at managing the risks of the foregoing, and the other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our other filings with the SEC.

As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this press release will prove to be accurate. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. We operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict the impact of all of these factors on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives, plans or cost savings in any specified time frame or at all. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this press release, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our business operations.

Certain of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are supplemental measures of our performance, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, that we believe help investors understand our financial condition and operating results and assess our future prospects. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, are important supplemental measures that exclude non-cash or other items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and the overall health of our company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors greater transparency to the information used by management for its operational decision-making and allow investors to see our results “through the eyes of management.” We further believe that providing this information assists our investors in understanding our operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. We also present Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are liquidity measures, that we believe are useful to investors because it is also used by our management for measuring our operating cash flow, liquidity and allocating resources. We believe it is important to measure the free cash flows we have generated from operations, after accounting for routine capital expenditures required to generate those cash flows. When read in conjunction with our GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as one basis for financial, operational and planning decisions. Finally, these measures are often used by analysts and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for certain non-cash items that we may record each period, as well as non-recurring items such as acquisition costs, integration and severance costs, refinance fees, business transformation costs and other discrete expenses, when applicable. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are important metrics for management and investors as they remove the impact of items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating results or the overall health of our company and allows for consistent comparison of our operating results over time and relative to our peers. We define Net

Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents divided by Adjusted EBITDA. We define free cash flow as cash from operating activities less capital expenditures.

Management recognizes that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes, thereby affecting their comparability from company to company. In order to compensate for these and the other limitations discussed below, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures included in this press release and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We have presented forward-looking statements regarding Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses or income, from the corresponding financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from this non-GAAP financial measure is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period in reliance on the exception provided by item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of each forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow to its most directly comparable forward looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measure without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company's future financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the company's actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.
