On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into law. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Consequently, as of the date of enactment, and during the three months ended September 30, 2025, we will evaluate all deferred tax balances under the newly enacted tax law and identify any other changes required to our financial statements as a result of the OBBBA. We are still evaluating the impact of the OBBBA and the results of these evaluations will be reflected in our Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 1.9% as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024. This was primarily due to additional costs associated with being a public company including Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) compliance and additional organizational costs, amortization of intangible and other long-term assets, and research and development expenses, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we completed the IPO which was an event that triggered the vesting of all outstanding unvested equity units. This resulted in the Company recording the then unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million.

Net organic sales represent net sales from our existing businesses for comparable periods and exclude net sales from acquisitions. We include net sales from new acquisitions in net organic sales from the 13th-month after the acquisition on a comparative basis with the prior period. Net acquisition sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 represent net sales from acquisitions that were completed in 2024 for which there are no comparable net sales during the prior year. We believe this measure provides an understanding of underlying sales trends as it provides net sales comparisons on a consistent basis. We do not believe our net sales are subject to significant seasonal variations. See Note 3, Acquisition of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s acquisition activities.

Net organic sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $11.0 million or 11.3%, to $108.0 million as compared to $97.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net organic sales was primarily related to increases in OEM total commercial sales ($4.8 million, an increase of 15.3%), aftermarket total commercial sales ($4.5 million, an increase of 12.4%), and defense sales ($2.2 million, an increase of 10.5%), partially offset by a decline in non-aerospace sales ($0.6 million, a decrease of 7.3%). The increase in OEM total commercial sales was driven by increases in demand to support aircraft production for general aviation, wide-body and narrow-body aircraft. The increase in aftermarket total commercial sales was primarily due to the continuing recovery in commercial air travel demand. The increase in defense sales was primarily driven by increased market share due to new product launches and an increased demand for defense products globally.
