Market growth, share gains and contributions from a recent acquisition have resulted in increased repair and distribution revenue of 86% and 12%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period for the prior year. Our growth has been driven by several strategic initiatives, including executing on newly awarded distribution agreements, most notably the Pratt Whitney Canada EMEA program, the introduction of new products and service capabilities to our portfolio, including our new Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM") licensed manufacturing program, and contributions from TCI.

Previous wording

Operating income. Operating income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to revenue growth and a favorable shift in sales mix and pricing, and contributions from our newly launched OEM licensed manufacturing program, offset by increased amortization of intangible assets and allocated corporate costs.

Current wording

Operating Income. Operating income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by revenue growth and a favorable shift in sales mix and pricing, partially offset by increased amortization of intangible assets and an increase in corporate acquisition and integration costs incurred during the current period.

Previous wording

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in our debt facility borrowings.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate for continued operations was 20.8% and 19.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 respectively, and 27.9% and 25.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 respectively. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year. Permanent differences such as foreign derived intangible income deduction, Section 162(m) limitation, capital gains tax treatment, state income taxes, certain federal and state tax credits and other items caused differences between our statutory U.S. federal income tax rate and our effective tax rate. The lower effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily resulted from lower book income and higher excess stock compensation deduction for tax purposes in connection with current year stock vesting in 2024.

Previous wording

Our credit agreement provides available borrowing to us at variable interest rates. Our interest expense is impacted by the overall global economic and interest rate environment. Over the past several years, the inflationary environment has also resulted in central banks raising short-term interest rates. Accordingly, future interest rate changes could potentially put us at risk for a material adverse impact on future earnings and cash flows. To mitigate the risks associated with future interest rate movements we have employed interest rate hedges to fix the rate on a portion of our outstanding borrowings for various periods.
