The Company's accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Therefore, such financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Form 10-K"). In the Company's opinion, all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company's previously reported results of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements include fair value measurements, inventory provisions, collectability of receivables, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets acquired from business combinations, and contingencies.
(2)Acquisitions
Fiscal 2026
Atech Turbine Components, Inc. ("Atech")
On August 31, 2026, the Company acquired Atech for total cash consideration, subject to working capital adjustments, of $64.1 million, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million. The acquisition was funded through both cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. Atech is a specialized MRO provider focused on complex hot-section components for aircraft turbine engines. The acquisition expands the Company’s engine service capabilities by adding specialized and proprietary repair approvals to the Company's engine aftermarket platform and further strengthens the Company's position on certain engine platforms beyond parts distribution and accessory MRO into differentiated engine component repair. The acquisition is not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is comprised of net tangible assets, excluding cash acquired, of approximately $1.6 million, goodwill of $41.1 million, and a customer-related intangible asset of $21.5 million, which is being amortized over a period of 12 years. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition reflects the strategic advantage of expanding the Company's
-11- proprietary repair capabilities supporting the engine aftermarket. The value attributed to goodwill and customer relationships is deductible for income tax purposes. The Company has not yet finalized the determination of the fair values allocated to various assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, working capital. Therefore, the allocation of the total consideration for the acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values, which could potentially result in changes to the opening balance sheet. Adjustments or changes to goodwill, assets or liabilities remain possible.
Acquisition-related expenses incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $1.4 million and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Precision Aviation Group, Inc. ("PAG")
On May 5, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of PAG for total consideration of approximately $2.02 billion (the "PAG Acquisition"). PAG is a leading global provider of aviation aftermarket MRO and supply chain services delivering technical expertise across engines, components, avionics, and proprietary repair solutions. The acquisition enhances the Company's global reach, technical capabilities, and integrated MRO services and distribution offerings to a diverse customer base across commercial, business and general aviation, rotorcraft, original equipment manufacturer ("OEM"), and defense markets.

| Less: Cash acquired | (22,215) |
| Cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired | $1,748,155 |
| Equity consideration, at fair value (b) | 238,002 |
| Contingent earn-out consideration, at acquisition date fair value (c) | 33,850 |
| Total purchase consideration | $2,020,007 |
| (a) Reflects cash paid to the seller, subject to working capital adjustments. | |
| (b) Reflects an in-kind payment in the form of 1,415,752 shares of newly issued equity of a VSE subsidiary, exchangeable at any time, and automatically exchanged if not already done so by May 5, 2029, for shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis and are subject to a lock-up period. The shares were fair valued based upon the closing stock price of the Company as of May 4, 2026. | |
| (c) Reflects contingent earn-out consideration with an acquisition-date fair value of $33.9 million. The contingent earn-out provides for up to $125.0 million in additional consideration, payable in cash or equity at the Company's sole discretion, based on PAG's 2026 adjusted EBITDA performance. See Note (11) "Fair Value Measurements" for further information related to the contingent earn-out consideration. | |
The Company has not yet finalized the determination of the fair values allocated to various assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, working capital, intangible assets and income taxes. Therefore, the allocation of the total consideration for the acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values, which could potentially result in changes to the PAG preliminary purchase price allocation. Adjustments or changes to goodwill, assets or liabilities remain possible.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the preliminary purchase price allocation was adjusted to reflect working capital and other measurement period adjustments. The adjustments resulted from new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Such adjustments resulted in a net decrease to goodwill of $4.1 million, primarily driven by a $3.7 million increase in property and equipment, net and a $3.2 million decrease in deferred tax liabilities, partially offset by a $3.9 million increase to income tax liabilities recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Goodwill was also reduced by other immaterial adjustments to contract assets, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

| Total | $897,750 | $20,000 | $61,043 | $978,793 |
Restrictive covenants of the Credit Agreement include a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. The Company was in compliance with the required ratios and other terms and conditions under its Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2026.
(6)Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company's derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):
| Notional Amount | Paid Fixed Rate | Receive Variable Rate | Settlement and Termination | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest rate swaps | $150,000 | 2.8% | 1-month term SOFR | Monthly through October 31, 2027 |
| Interest rate swap | $100,000 | 4.0% | 1-month term SOFR | Monthly through July 31, 2029 |
The Company is party to fixed interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations on a portion of its floating rate debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company entered into a new pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap with a major financial institution for a notional amount of $100.0 million. This swap replaced a previous interest rate swap of the same notional amount, which matured on July 31, 2026. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company reclassified $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense, net. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reclassified $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense, net. The Company estimates it will reclassify approximately $2.8 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the twelve months following September 30, 2026. See Note (11) "Fair Value Measurements" for the fair value of these interest rate swaps.
(7)Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, with shares issued during the period weighted based on the portion of time they were outstanding. Basic EPS includes the equity issued as part of the purchase consideration for the PAG Acquisition, weighted from the date of issuance. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effects of the assumed vesting of outstanding stock-based awards and the settlement of prepaid stock purchase contracts, which were issued in connection with the Company's
-19-
February 2026 issuance of tangible equity units. See Note (13) "Common Stock and Tangible Equity Unit Public Offerings" for further discussion of the prepaid stock purchase contracts, which are assumed to be outstanding at the minimum settlement rate of 0.2171 shares per prepaid stock purchase contract in determining weighted-average shares for basic EPS. Additional shares are included in determining weighted-average shares for diluted EPS based on the imputed settlement rate utilizing the volume weighted-average price of the Company's common stock during the period not to exceed 0.2660 shares per prepaid stock purchase contract, if dilutive. The antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted per share calculation are not material.
The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS were as follows:
| Three months ended September 30, | Nine months ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Effect of basic shares: | ||||

| Prepaid stock purchase contracts at volume weighted-average price | 241,701 | — | 274,798 | — |
| Total dilutive shares | 310,484 | 75,305 | 363,814 | 86,277 |
| Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | 31,790,115 | 20,756,508 | 30,351,277 | 20,742,957 |
(8)Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
The Company may have certain claims in the normal course of business, including legal proceedings, against it and against other parties. Legal liabilities are recorded when it is probable that the outcome in a proceeding will be unfavorable and the related loss amount can be reasonably estimated. In the Company's opinion, the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
Further, from time-to-time, government agencies audit or investigate whether the Company's operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable contractual and regulatory requirements. Government audits or investigations of the Company, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed, which could lead to suspension or debarment from future government contracting. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against the Company. The Company believes, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such government disputes, audits and investigations will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
(9)Business Segment
Following the sales of the Company's Fleet and Federal and Defense segments, the Company manages its business as a single reportable and operating segment focused on higher margin and higher growth aftermarket parts distribution and MRO activities. The Company's single operating segment provides aftermarket MRO and distribution services to commercial, business and general aviation, cargo, military and defense, and rotorcraft customers globally. Core services include parts distribution, MRO services including engine components and accessories, fuel controls, avionics, pneumatics, hydraulics, wheel and brake, as well as rotable exchange and supply chain services.
The Company's single operating segment is the only segment for which separate financial information is available and for which segment results are evaluated regularly by the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. As the Company operates under a single reportable operating segment, the CODM evaluates segment performance based on net income (loss) and considers
-20- budget-to-actual, sequential period and prior period comparisons on a monthly basis when making decisions regarding capital and personnel allocation. Segment assets are reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. Net sales of the Company exclude intercompany sales as these activities are eliminated in consolidation.
(10)Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):
| Carrying Amount | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $641,242 |
| Acquisitions | 1,212,684 |
| Measurement period adjustments | (417) |
| Balance as of September 30, 2026 | $1,853,509 |
Goodwill increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 in connection with the acquisitions completed during the period, partially offset by net measurement period adjustments related to the Aero 3, NorthStar, and PAG acquisitions. See Note (2) "Acquisitions" for further information.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):
| Weighted-average Useful Life (in years) | Gross Carrying Value | Accumulated Amortization | Net Carrying Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2026: | ||||
| Customer-related | 12.1 | $1,078,874 | $(149,596) | $929,278 |
| Distribution rights | 15.1 | 24,932 | (3,714) | 21,218 |
| Total | 12.1 | $1,103,806 | $(153,310) | $950,496 |
| December 31, 2025: | ||||
| Customer-related | 12.2 | $396,150 | $(100,188) | $295,962 |
The gross carrying amount of customer-related intangibles increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 in connection with the acquisitions completed during the period as discussed in Note (2) "Acquisitions." Additionally, on March 28, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its Asset Purchase and License Agreement with an OEM, originally executed in September 2023, for total consideration of $7.8 million, of which $5.3 million is payable in cash. The Amendment expands the scope of rights and extends the expected useful lives of certain underlying assets acquired under the original agreement. The Company accounted for the Amendment as an asset acquisition, with the consideration allocated to a customer-related intangible asset, which is being amortized over a period of 12 years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company paid $4.8 million of the cash consideration, which is reflected within purchases of intangible assets in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The remaining $0.5 million of cash consideration payable is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2026.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company reclassified distribution rights with a gross carrying value of $14.6 million and net carrying value of $12.1 million from other assets and prepaid expenses and other current assets to intangible assets. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company acquired distribution rights for net cash consideration of $10.3 million, which are being amortized over a period of 15 years.
-21-
As of September 30, 2026, the estimated future annual amortization expense related to intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):
| Year ending | Amount |
|---|---|
| Remainder of 2026 | $23,393 |
| 2027 | 91,799 |
| 2028 | 90,912 |
| 2029 | 90,849 |

| Total | $950,496 |
(11)Fair Value Measurements
The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
| Amounts Recorded at Fair Value | Financial Statement Classification | Fair Value Hierarchy | Fair Value September 30, 2026 | Fair Value December 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-COLI assets held in Deferred Supplemental Compensation Plan(a) | Other assets | Level 1 | $746 | $704 |
| Interest rate swaps - current | Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | Level 2 | $— | $553 |
| Interest rate swaps - long-term | Other assets | Level 2 | $4,458 | $1,235 |
| Earn-out obligations | Earn-out obligations | Level 3 | $27,367 | $— |
| (a) Non-Company Owned Life Insurance ("COLI") assets held in the Company's deferred supplemental compensation plan consist of equity funds with fair value based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and changes in fair value are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. | ||||
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and amounts included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturity. The carrying value of the note receivable approximates fair value as the stated interest income effectively offsets the time value of money, resulting in minimal discounting impact. The carrying value of the Company's outstanding debt obligations approximates its fair value. The fair value of the note receivable and long-term debt are calculated using Level 2 inputs based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company's existing debt arrangements.
Contingent Consideration
Earn-out Obligation to PAG Seller
In connection with the PAG Acquisition, the Company may be required to pay contingent earn-out consideration of up to $125.0 million, payable in cash, equity, or a combination thereof at the Company's sole discretion, should PAG meet certain profitability targets during fiscal year 2026. The fair value of the earn-out obligation to the PAG seller was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach in an option pricing framework. The approach used to fair value the earn-out obligation is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Changes in these assumptions could result in a material change to the amount of the fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation include a market price of risk of 3.8% and a volatility of 36%. The market price of risk is based upon the product of the implied asset beta and the applicable equity risk premium and the volatility is based on historical volatility of a peer group. Any change in the fair value of the earn-out obligation from events after the acquisition date will be included within earn-out fair value adjustments in the Company's consolidated statements of operations during the period when the event occurs. The decrease in the fair value of the earn-out obligation to the PAG seller from the acquisition date was primarily attributable to a reduction in the likelihood of achieving higher earn-out payout scenarios as the remaining projection period shortened.
-22-
The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the earn-out obligation (in thousands):
| Earn-out Obligation | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $— |
| Acquisition date fair value of earn-out obligation to PAG seller | 33,850 |
| Subsequent fair value adjustments | (8,880) |
| Balance as of September 30, 2026 | $24,970 |
Assumed Earn-out Obligations from PAG Acquisition
In addition to the earn-out obligation to the PAG seller, the Company assumedtwo earn-out obligations from the PAG Acquisition, payable to the original sellers of certain PAG subsidiaries, which had a fair value of $2.4 million as of both the acquisition date and September 30, 2026. The assumed earn-out obligations are conditional upon the achieved Adjusted EBITDA of certain PAG subsidiaries over periods not extending beyond December 31, 2026 and are classified within earn-out obligations on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Earn-out Receivable
In connection with the sale of the Fleet segment in April 2025, the total consideration to be received by the Company included a potential earn-out payment of up to $65.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain milestones by the divested business during 2025. The preliminary results provided to the Company show the earn-out performance threshold was not achieved relative to the required milestones under the sale agreement. However, the Company is continuing to review the preliminary results.
The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the earn-out receivable (in thousands):
| Earn-out Receivable | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $— |
| Sale date fair value of earn-out receivable | 29,200 |
| Subsequent fair value adjustments | (29,200) |
| Balance as of September 30, 2025 | $— |
(12)Income Taxes
Income tax expense during interim periods is based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items that are recorded in the period in which they occur. The Company's tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year.
The Company's effective tax rate for continuing operations was 25.4% and 23.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and 37.5% and 18.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to the prior year recognition of an accrual for a potential tax dispute associated with the dissolution of a foreign subsidiary. The effective tax rate was higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to unfavorable permanent differences associated with increased acquisition-related expenses during the current year, as well as higher pre-tax book income in the current period compared to the prior period, which reduced the favorable tax impact arising from various discrete tax adjustments in the current period.
(13)Common Stock and Tangible Equity Unit Public Offerings
Common Stock Public Offering
In February 2026, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with certain underwriters relating to the issuance and sale of 4,587,766 shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $188.00 per share (including exercise by the underwriters of their overallotment option to purchase additional shares). The Company received proceeds of $829.0 million, net of issuance costs, and transaction-related legal and accounting fees of $1.1 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the
-23- offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the PAG Acquisition. Prior to the consummation of the PAG Acquisition, the Company utilized the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to invest in liquid assets.
Tangible Equity Unit Public Offering
In February 2026, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with certain underwriters relating to the issuance and sale of 9,200,000 tangible equity units of the Company, at a stated amount of $50.00 per unit (the "Units"), including exercise by the underwriters of their overallotment option to purchase additional Units. The Company received proceeds of $444.9 million from the offering, net of issuance costs, and transaction-related legal and accounting fees of $1.2 million. The net proceeds were used in the same manner as the net proceeds of the February 2026 common stock public offering. Each Unit issued is comprised of (i) a prepaid stock purchase contract issued by the Company and (ii) an amortizing note issued by the Company. The net proceeds were allocated to the prepaid stock purchase contract and amortizing notes on a relative fair value basis.
Prepaid Stock Purchase Contracts
Each prepaid stock purchase contract has a fair value per unit of $42.1775 pursuant to which the Company will deliver to the holder, on February 1, 2029 (subject to postponement in certain limited circumstances), unless earlier settled, a number of shares of the Company’s common stock per purchase contract equal to an applicable settlement rate ranging from 0.2171 to 0.2660 shares. Unless settled earlier and subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, each purchase contract will settle based upon the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock on each of the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding February 1, 2029 (the "applicable market value") as follows:
if the applicable market value is greater than or equal to the threshold appreciation price (initially $230.3086), holders will receive 0.2171 shares of common stock for each Purchase Contract (the “minimum settlement rate”);
if the applicable market value is greater than the reference price (initially approximately $188.00) but less than the threshold appreciation price, holders will receive a number of shares of common stock for each Purchase Contract equal to the Unit stated amount of $50.00, divided by the applicable market value; and
if the applicable market value is less than or equal to the reference price, holders will receive 0.2660 shares of common stock for each Purchase Contract.
No prepaid stock purchase contracts were settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The value allocated to the prepaid stock purchase contracts, net of issuance costs, of approximately $375.3 million is recorded in additional paid-in capital on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Amortizing Notes
Each amortizing note issued by the Company has an initial principal amount of $7.8225 that pays quarterly installments of $0.7188 per amortizing note (except for the May 1, 2026 installment payment, which was $0.6868 per amortizing note), which cash payment in the aggregate will be equivalent to 5.750% per year with respect to the $50.00 stated amount per Unit. The value allocated to the amortizing notes, net of issuance costs, is recorded within long-term debt, less current portion on the Company's consolidated balance sheets except for principal repayments due within twelve months, which are recorded within current portion of long-term debt. See Note (5) "Debt" for further information on the amortizing notes.
(14)Subsequent Event
On October 5, 2026, the Company acquired Test Logic, Inc. ("Test Logic"), a provider of turbine engine and transmission test equipment. The acquisition expands the Company’s in-house test capabilities for its core engine and auxiliary power unit platforms, supporting faster MRO turnaround times and a recurring service base. The acquisition is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and was funded with cash on hand. The preliminary purchase price allocation has not yet been completed due to the limited time between the acquisition date and the issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.
