This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains both historical information and “forward-looking statements”within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, in particular, the statements about our plans, objectives, strategies and prospects regarding, among other things, our financial condition, results of operations and business. We have identified some of these forward-looking statements with words like “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” and other words and terms of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements may be contained throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to, among other things, our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Many factors mentioned in our discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors,” will be important in determining future results. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether our expectations will prove correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements, we cannot give any assurance that any of the events anticipated by these forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them does occur, what impact they will have on our business, results of operations and financial condition. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or the risk factors contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to reflect new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under federal securities laws.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include but are not limited to: the almost exclusive focus of our business on the aerospace and defense industry; our heavy reliance on certain customers for a significant portion of our sales; the fact that we have in the past consummated acquisitions and our intention to continue to pursue acquisitions, and that our business may be adversely affected if we cannot consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or if we cannot effectively integrate acquired operations; and other factors. Refer to Part II, Item 1A included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and to Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the foregoing factors that may affect our business.

Previous wording
As we look to the rest of 2026, we anticipate net sales growth to be driven by organic growth, in particular the conversion of high levels of backlog of our existing products, and the impact from strategic acquisitions. Backlog primarily consists of firm orders for products that have not yet shipped. Continued inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions may lead to higher material and labor costs although these pressures and disruptions have not had a material effect on our year-to-date results of operations or capital resources, and we do not expect them to materially affect our outlook or business goals. So far in 2026, we have continued and plan to continue our commitment to develop new products and services, penetrate markets further, and pursue an aggressive acquisition strategy while seeking to maintain our financial strength and flexibility.

Net organic sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $28.2 million or 11.9%, to $266.0 million as compared to $237.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net organic sales was primarily related to increases in OEM total commercial sales ($17.4 million, an increase of 23.9%), aftermarket total commercial sales ($10.3 million, an increase of 11.3%), and sales of non-aerospace products ($5.4 million, an increase of 39.4%), partially offset by a decline in defense sales ($4.9 million, a decrease of 8.1%). 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. The increase in sales of non-aerospace products was primarily driven by higher demand for industrial gas-turbine components. 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.
Current wording
Net organic sales for the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased $20.1 million or 15.8%, to $146.8 million as compared to $126.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in net organic sales was primarily related to increases in OEM total commercial sales ($7.6 million, an increase of 18.7%), aftermarket total commercial sales ($5.1 million, an increase of 10.0%), sales of non-aerospace products ($3.6 million, an increase of 54.3%), and defense sales ($3.9 million, an increase of 13.4%). 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 increased utilization of the aged commercial aircraft fleet. The increase in sales of non-aerospace products was primarily driven by higher demand for industrial gas-turbine components. The increase in defense sales was primarily attributable to the variability of revenue distribution for defense-related products, which can vary significantly from period to period and higher demand from global military conflicts.

Previous wording
Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 0.6% as a percentage of net sales to 46.8% from 46.2% in the comparable period last year.

Current wording
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1.0% as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025.

We do not believe our net sales are subject to significant seasonal variations.

Our principal historical liquidity requirements have been for acquisitions, capital expenditures, servicing indebtedness and working capital needs. We fund our investing activities primarily from cash provided by our operating and financing activities. As of June 30, 2026, we had availability of $35 million of a delayed draw term loan commitment and a $50 million revolving line of credit. Based on our current outlook, we believe that net cash provided by operating activities and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. As we continue to expand our business, including by any acquisitions we may make, we may in the future require additional working capital for increased costs. See “Credit Agreement” (below) for additional detail regarding our financing activities.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered as measures of cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in isolation and specifically by using other U.S. GAAP measures, such as net sales and operating profit, to measure our operating performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and they should not be considered as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to the calculations of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
