AAR’s growth is now producing a profit rebound, but cash conversion remains limited by reinvestment and a larger inventory base.
The FY2026 recovery is more than volume: revenue reached$3.3B while SG&A stayed near$349M , allowing more gross profit to reach earnings without a comparable overhead increase. Yet net income of$188M converted to only$99M of operating cash flow, indicating the earnings rebound was not fully realized in cash.
