Net organic sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $13.0 million or 11.4%, to $127.7 million as compared to $114.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net organic sales was primarily related to increases in OEM total commercial sales ($7.8 million, an increase of 22.0%), aftermarket total commercial sales ($6.2 million, an increase of 14.1%), and sales of non-aerospace products ($3.0 million, an increase of 46.4%), partially offset by a decline in defense sales ($4.0 million, a decrease of 13.9%). The increase in OEM commercial sales is driven by the increased production rates and deliveries for both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. The increase in aftermarket total commercial sales was attributable to increases in commercial air travel demand. The increase in sales of non-aerospace products was primarily driven by higher sales of components for industrial gas-turbines. The decrease in defense sales was primarily attributable to the variability of revenue distribution for defense-related products, which can vary significantly from period to period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 2.9% as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025.

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 six months ended June 30, 2026 represent net sales from acquisitions that were completed in 2025 and 2026 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 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s acquisition activities.
