Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing or reimbursable costs related to a specific contract. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in the Company’s contracts. The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | ||
| Contract assets | $1,126,019 | $915,940 |
| Less: allowance for credit loss | (519) | (740) |
| Contract assets, net | $1,125,500 | $915,200 |
| Contract liabilities | $428,658 | $400,025 |
Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing difference between the Company’s performance of services and payments from customers. The Company recognized revenue that was included in the beginning of period contract liability balance of approximately $420.2 million and $400.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and$276.7 million and $355.7 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Remaining performance obligations
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately$325.1 million of remaining performance obligations, which primarily relate to the Company’s engine utilization contracts that are satisfied over multiple years. Of this amount, the Company expects approximately 30% to be satisfied over the nexttwo years and the remainder thereafter. The expected timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations is dependent on the timing of the customer’s maintenance requirements and as such, the timing of the revenue recognition is subject to estimation uncertainty. The Company excludes from its remaining performance obligation balance the value of remaining performance obligations for its fixed price and time & material contracts, as the performance obligations for these contracts generally have an original expected duration of one year or less.

The Company recognized $0.1 million in deferred charges which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The original issue discount and deferred charges were amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method.
On September 6, 2024, the Company amended the Prior Credit Agreement to incur additional 2024 Term Loans in a principal amount of $200.0 million which were, in part, used to paydown a portion of the advances under the Company’s Prior ABL Credit Facility used to fund the acquisition of Aero Turbine. There were no other substantive changes made to the Prior Credit Agreement. As a result of the amendment, $1.5 million in third party fees related to the modified portion of the Term Loans were expensed as refinancing costs on the Consolidated Income Statement during the year ended December 31, 2024, as these costs did not meet the criteria for deferral. The original issue discount and deferred charges were amortized over the term of the Prior Credit Agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method.
On October 31, 2024 concurrent withthe New Credit Agreement, the Company recognized a $3.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt representing the write off unamortized discounts and deferred financing charges related to the extinguished portions of the Prior Term Loan facilities.
Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility
The Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility was a senior secured multicurrency cash flow revolving credit facility available under the Prior Credit Agreement, with a capacity of $150.0 million (of which up to $75.0 millionwas available for the issuance of letters of credit)and was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2028. The Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR rate plus 3.125% to 3.50%. The applicable rates on borrowing under the credit agreement were based on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility was subject to a maximum Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio that was tested at the end of any fiscal quarter if the total revolving credit loans outstanding under the Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility on such date exceed 35.0% of the aggregate amount of all commitments in respect of the Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.
On October 31, 2024, concurrent with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company terminated the Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility which hadno outstanding loans under it, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024.
Prior ABL Credit Facility
On October 31, 2024, concurrent with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company used the proceeds of the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities and the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility to repay in full amounts outstanding under the Prior ABL Credit Agreement, terminating the debt facility thereunder. The extinguishment of the Prior ABL Credit Facility resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Prior ABL Credit Facility had a capacity of $400.0 million, was repayable in U.S. dollars and was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2028. At the Company’s discretion, the borrowings under the Prior ABL Credit Facility bore interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR rate plus 1.50% to 2.00%, Prime Lending Rate plus 0.50% to 1.00%, or the Base Rate on Canadian borrowings plus 0.50% to 1.00%, with the spread dependent on the amount of the borrowing and was subject to certain financial covenants. The ABL Credit Facility had an annual commitment fee of 0.250% to 0.375% based on excess availability. The ABL Credit Facility contained financial covenants which were required to be calculated immediately prior to or during the continuance of a trigger period. The trigger period was a period where borrowing availability was less than the greater of 10% of the line cap and $30.0 million.
Prior Senior Notes
The Prior Senior Notes bore an interest rate of 10.0% and were scheduled to mature on April 4, 2027. On March 25, 2024, the Company partially redeemed $200.0 million of the Prior Senior Notes. As a result of the redemption, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, representing the write-off of the unamortized deferred finance charges related to the redeemed portion of the Prior Senior Notes. On October 3, 2024, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to repay the full outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Prior Senior Notes, totaling $487.5 million. The extinguishment of the Prior Senior Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.7 million recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company’s weighted average interest rate of borrowings under its senior credit agreements was 6.3% and 6.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 9.0% and 9.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Certain of these agreements contain non-financial covenants that limit both the Company’s ability to raise additional financings in the future and the Company’s ability to pay dividends subject to select amounts and incurrence ratios.

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES
The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 26.3%. The difference between this and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily due to non-deductible expenses, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), which was enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and state and foreign tax rates.
The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 60.4%. The difference between this and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily due to the mix of earnings between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, as well as the Company increasing its valuation allowance in connection with the deferred tax asset related to the interest limitation under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code. Other factors impacting the rate include non-deductible expenses, and GILTI, which was enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
The Company did not record any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits or total interest and penalties for tax years remaining open to examination during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Currently, there are not any ongoing audits or examinations with any tax jurisdictions.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) released Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion model rules (“Pillar Two Rules”), designed to ensure large corporations are taxed at a minimum rate of 15.0% inall countries of operation. On June 20, 2024, as part of Bill C-69, Canada enacted its Pillar Two legislation effective January 1, 2024. Canada Bill C-59 was also enactedon June 20, 2024 and included the excessive interest and financing expenses limitation (“EIFEL”) regime effective for tax years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. The Company has performed a quantitative and qualitative assessment and determined the effects are not materially significant to the Company’s financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. StandardAero will continue to evaluate the Pillar Two Rules and EIFEL for their potential impact on future periods as further legislation is proposed or enacted.
On July 4, 2025 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), which includes a broad range of U.S. tax reform provisions, was signed into law by the President of the United States. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as (i) the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (ii) modifications to the international tax framework, and (iii) the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. For the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2025, the impact from the OBBBA provisions is immaterial to the effective tax rate. The impact of the OBBBA provisions is also immaterial to the estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact for future periods.
NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 14: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Defined contribution pension plans
The Company has several defined contribution plans covering substantially all of its employees. Costs for the defined contribution plans were$6.5 million and$5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Costs for the defined contribution plans were$19.6 million and$18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Defined benefit pension plans
The Company maintains defined benefit plans for certain employees in the United Kingdom and France.
In the United Kingdom, the Company maintainstwo defined benefit schemes which provide both pensions in retirement and death benefits to members. Pension benefits are related to the member’s final salary at retirement (or their career average revalued salary) and their length of service. The main scheme is the Vector Aerospace International Limited Pension Scheme (the “Scheme”). The other defined benefit scheme is the Vector Aerospace 1998 Pension Plan (the “Plan”). The Scheme and Plan are generally closed for new members, who participate in a separate defined contribution plan.
In France, the defined benefit plan is a government-mandated defined obligation that provides employees with retirement indemnities in the form of lump sums on the basis of the length of service and employee compensation levels. The plan is unfunded and benefits are paid when amounts become due, commencing when participants retire. Actuarial gains and losses of the year for long service awards are immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Costs for the defined benefit plans were$0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Costs for the defined benefit plans were$0.1 and$0.4 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
NOTE 15: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Following its IPO, the Company has made awards under its 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the "2024 Plan"), which have generally consisted of nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Additionally, certain employees and directors have received restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), which were made in respect of pre-IPO equity awards originally granted to them under the Dynasty Parent Holdings, L.P. and Dynasty Parent Co., Inc. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
Stock Options
Stock options granted under the 2024 Plan generally vest in three equal annual installments, subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company, and expire ten years from the date of grant. The Company uses a Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the grant-date fair value of the stock options awarded. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires assumptions regarding the expected volatility of the Company’s shares of Common Stock, the risk-free interest rate, the expected term of the stock option award and the Company’s dividend yield.
Term. The Company began being publicly traded on October 2, 2024, and as such does not have sufficient historical data to estimate the expected term of the stock option awards. In the absence of sufficient historical data, where the options are considered “plain vanilla,” the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”) provides guidance for a simplified method of estimating the expected term until more empirical data becomes available. This method calculates the expected term as the average of the weighted vesting term and the contractual term of the options. As such, the Company utilized the SEC's simplified method to calculate the expected term for the options which resulted in a term of 6.0 years.
Expected Dividends. The Company does not pay dividends and is not expected to pay dividends in the near term. As such, the Company elected to use a dividend yield of 0%.
Risk-Free Rate. The Company used the U.S. Treasury Securities yield corresponding to the expected term, of 4.07%.
Expected Volatility. The Company began being publicly traded on October 2, 2024, followed by additional secondary offerings in March 2025 and May 2025, thus the Company has limited trading data to calculate meaningful volatility. As such, the Company relied solely on peer group volatility, calculated at 40.0%.
The following is a summary of the activity for stock option awards:

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”):
The RSUs granted on April 15, 2025 under the 2024 Plan generally vest in three equal annual installments, subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company. The fair value of RSUs granted is estimated using the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date.
The following is a summary of the activity for RSUs:

Stock Based Compensation Expense:
The Company recorded $4.1 million and$10.0 million in stock compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company will continue to recognize stock compensation expense ratably over the requisite remaining service period for the awards. As of September 30, 2025, there was$34.0 million of unrecognized compensation costs.
NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy are determined as follows:
| Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| Level 2 - | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. |
| Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable and accounts payable, the fair value approximates the carrying value due to the short maturity periods of these financial instruments. For long-term borrowings, the fair value is measured using Level 2 market values.
The interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and foreign exchange contracts are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value measurement is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the inputs to the derivative pricing model are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity. The fair value of the interest rate agreements is estimated using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs.
Valuation of Contingent Consideration Liability
The fair value of earnout consideration was estimated based on applying a Monte Carlo simulation method to forecast achievement of the gross profit targets. This method involves many possible value outcomes which are evaluated to establish an estimated value. Key inputs in the valuation include volatility and discount rates. Due to the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuations, these liabilities are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company determined the initial value for the contingent consideration liability of $15.2 million using the Level 3 inputs as of the issuance date on August 23, 2024. No changes in fair value of contingent consideration liability were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2025, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as the initial fair value approximates the fair value as of September 30, 2025.
The following table represents the significant inputs used in calculating the fair value of the contingent consideration liability on the issuance date and as of September 30, 2025:
| Longest midpoint term | 1.86 |
|---|---|
| Gross profit discount rate | 10.7% |
| Risk-free rate | 3.9% |
| Gross profit volatility | 23.3% |
| Payment discount rate | 13.2% |

NOTE 17: DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
The Company is exposed to, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchanges rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s objective in risk management is to utilize interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest expense and manage its exposure to interest rate movements and utilize foreign exchange rate derivatives to add stability to foreign exchange expense and manage its exposure to exchange rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses (i) interest-rate swaps and interest-rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy and (ii) foreign currency forward contracts to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent on forecasted transactions.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes.
Interest-rate swap and interest-rate cap agreements
Interest-rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest-rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve payment of a fixed premium to a counterparty in exchange for the company receiving a SOFR cap over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with its long-term debt agreements.
The tables below summarize the key terms of the interest-rate swap and interest-rate cap agreements:
Interest-rate swap agreements:
| AggregateNotional Amount · Effective Date · Maturity Date · Interest - Rate | ||||

| Net derivatives as classified in the consolidated balance sheets | $259 | $8,433 | $1,539 | $12,676 |
For the interest-rate swaps, differences between the hedged interest rate and the fixed rate are recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the related interest is recorded for the Company’s long-term debt agreements.
For the interest-rate caps, monthly premiums and differences received between the hedged interest rate and the interest rate cap are recorded to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the related interest is recorded for the Company’s long-term debt agreements.
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts
The Company has operations in Canada, as well as other countries outside of North America, and consequently the Consolidated Balance Sheets can be affected by movements in exchange rates for limited balances denominated in foreign currency. Currency exposures can also arise from certain revenue and purchase transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily payroll costs which are in local currencies.
The Company enters into short-term foreign exchange contracts throughout the year designated as a cash flow hedge to manage the exposure to changes in the exchange rate on its Canadian and United Kingdom payroll costs, requiring the Company to buy a notional amount of Canadian dollars and British Pounds Sterling. The contracts require the Company to buy a notional amount of the foreign currency at a set rate weekly from a reference date to maturity date, or until a maximum value is reached.
On April 7, 2025, the Company entered into a foreign currency contract at a notional value of GBP 39.5 million and CAD 136.5 million maturing on December 31, 2025. Previously, the Company hadone foreign currency contract that was entered on April 12, 2024 at a notional value of GBP 17.5 million and matured on December 31, 2024.

NOTE 19: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s chief operating decision making officer (“CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Consistent with how the Company evaluates its performance and the way the Company is organized internally; the Company reports its activities intwo segments: Engine Services and Component Repair Services. The CODM regularly uses the below financial measures to allocate financial and human resources to individual segments and evaluate segment performance. The CODM also uses these measures in the annual budget and quarterly forecasting processes. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments.
The Company’s CODM is regularly provided and evaluates the performance of the Company’ssegments based on segment Revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes segment Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of operational performance and ongoing profitability and is used to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s segments and for planning and forecasting purposes, including the allocation of resources and capital.
The Company defines Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization directly attributable to each operating segment and adjusted for certain non-cash items that the Company may record each period, as well as items not recurring in the ordinary course of business such as acquisition costs, integration and severance costs, refinance fees, business transformation costs and other discrete expenses, when applicable. Expense information is provided to and reviewed by the CODM on a consolidated basis to evaluate cost efficiency and company level performance.
The Company’s Engine Services segment provides a full suite of aftermarket services, including maintenance, repair and overhaul, on-wing and field service support, asset management, and engineering and related solutions to customers in the commercial aerospace, military & helicopter, and business aviation end markets. Revenue in the Engine Services segment is primarily derived from the repair and overhaul of a wide variety of gas turbine engines and auxiliary power units that power fixed and rotary wing aircraft. The Company also provides complementary maintenance, repair, upgrade and other related services for airframes and avionics systems in the business aviation and helicopter end markets. Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of materials, direct labor and overhead.
The Company’s Component Repair Services segment provides engine component and accessory repairs to the Commercial Aerospace, Military & Helicopter, and Other, including land and marine, and oil and gas end markets. Revenue in the Component Repair Services segment is derived from the engine piece part and accessory repairs that the Company performs, repair development engineering and other related services, and some engine new part manufacturing. Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of materials, direct labor and overhead.
The Company’s segment disclosure includes intersegment revenues, which primarily consist of subcontract services between segments. The revenue and corresponding cost of revenue are eliminated upon consolidation. The elimination of such intersegment transactions is included within intersegment revenue in the table below. The revenue is eliminated with the segment receiving the subcontract services. The segment providing services retains revenue while the segment receiving the services records the elimination.
The Company does not report total assets by segment for internal or external reporting purposes as the Company’s CODM does not assess performance, make strategic decisions or allocate resources based on assets.
