On April 16, 2024, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Loar Holdings Inc. (the Corporate Conversion).

Specifically, holders of Loar Holdings, LLC units received 377,450.980392157 shares of common stock of Loar Holdings Inc. for each unit of Loar Holdings, LLC. The purpose of the Corporate Conversion was to reorganize the Company’s structure in advance of the public offering of common stock so that the entity offering the common stock to the public in the offering was a corporation rather than a limited liability company, so that the existing investors and new investors in the offering would own the Company’s common stock rather than equity interests in a limited liability company.

Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on April 25, 2024. On April 29, 2024, the Company

Principles of Consolidation
The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in Loar Holdings Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2025. As disclosed therein, the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from Loar Holdings Inc.’s audited financial statements for the year then-ended. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Reclassifications
A reclassification has been made to the prior year's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform with the current year's presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or operating or total cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires a public business entity to disclose specific categories in its annual effective tax rate reconciliation and provide disaggregated information about significant reconciling items by jurisdiction and by nature. The ASU also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds) to international, federal, and state and local jurisdictions. The standard makes several other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows, and the Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Sub Topic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses . The guidance requires disaggregated information about certain income statement costs and expenses for public entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presentson the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories within the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
- Acquisition
Applied Avionics, Inc.
On August 26, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of themembership interests of Applied Avionics, LLC, a Delaware LLC (AAI), which was formerly known as Applied Avionics, Inc. from AAI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (AAI Parent) for $383.5 million in cash. AAI Parent is owned by certain individual shareholders thereof, including certain members of AAI’s management team. Incorporated in 1968, AAI designs, develops and manufactures highly engineered avionics interface solutions.
The total purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the transaction date (in thousands):
| Assets acquired: | |
|---|---|
| Current assets | $7,169 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 6,996 |
| Intangible assets | 152,100 |
| Goodwill | 219,753 |
| Deferred income taxes | 1,574 |
| Total assets acquired | 387,592 |
| Liabilities assumed: | |
| Current liabilities | 4,043 |
| Total liabilities assumed | 4,043 |
| Net assets acquired | $383,549 |
Inventory was recorded at its estimated fair value, which represented an amount equivalent to estimated selling price less fulfillment costs and a normative selling profit. The increase in fair value of inventory from the acquisition was approximately $1.1 million, which was recognized in cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there wereno amounts recognized in cost of goods sold related to AAI.
Goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expected synergies with other acquired companies, combined with the industry operating expertise of management. These are among the factors that contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The results of operations of AAI are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition.
Pro forma financial information
Had the acquisition of AAI occurred as of January 1, 2023, net sales on a pro forma basis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 would have been $102.1 million. Additionally, loss before income taxes on a pro forma basis for thethree months ended March 31, 2024 would have been $4.0 million. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition been effective January 1, 2023, nor are they intended to be indicative of results that may occur in the future. The underlying pro forma information includes the historical financial results of the Company and the acquired business adjusted for certain items. The pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2024 includes $2.4 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets resulting from the preliminary purchase price allocation. Interest expense has been adjusted as though the debt incurred to finance the AAI acquisition had been outstanding at January 1, 2023. The pro forma interest expense adjustment for thethree months ended March 31, 2024 was $9.2 million. The pro forma information does not include the effects of any synergies, cost reduction initiatives or anticipated integration costs related to the acquisition.
- Revenue Recognition
All revenue recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.
Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers is recognized at a point in time, which is generally upon shipment of goods to the customer.
The Company sells specialty aerospace components based on a customer purchase order, which generally includes a fixed price per unit. The Company satisfies the single performance obligation generally upon shipment of the goods, as this is when contractual control transfers to the customer and recognizes revenue at that point in time. Total revenues do not include taxes, such as sales tax or value-added tax, which are assessed by governmental authorities and collected by the Company.
Products are covered by a standard assurance warranty, generally extended for a period of 25 days to two years depending on the customer, which promises that delivered products conform to contract specifications. The Company does not offer refunds or accept returns, unless related to a defect or warranty related matter. The Company does not sell extended warranties and does not provide warranties outside of fixing defects that existed at the time of sale. As such, warranties are accounted for under ASC 460, Guaranteesand not as a separate performance obligation.
Customers generally have payment terms between 30 and 90 days from the satisfaction of the performance obligations. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the amount of consideration for a financing component, as the period between the transfer of goods or services and the customer’s payment is, at contract inception, expected to be one year or less.

Although the final results in such suits and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
