AAR reports first quarter fiscal year 2027 results
Higher expenses accompanied the sales growth, while the newly announced acquisition is outside AAR’s fiscal 2027 guidance.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
AAR (AIR) reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 sales of $918.0 million, up 24% from a year earlier. Net income rose to $40.1 million from $34.4 million, and diluted earnings per share increased to $1.00 from $0.95. Operating cash flow was $55.8 million, versus $44.9 million used a year earlier. Operating margin fell to 7.9% from 8.8%.
Parts Supply and Repair, Engineering, and Software sales each grew 31%; Government Solutions sales rose 4%. AAR also entered a definitive agreement to acquire a 65% controlling interest in MRO Holdings. For the second quarter, it forecasts sales growth excluding Legacy Commercial Programs of 14%–16% and adjusted EBITDA margin on that basis of 13.0%–13.4%. Its full-year sales-growth outlook excluding that segment is now low teens, compared with a prior range of low double-digits to low teens. The guidance excludes the proposed acquisition.

This press release contains certain statements relating to future results, which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect management's expectations about future conditions, including, but not limited to, our second quarter and full year FY 2027 guidance, execution of strategies, continued demand in the commercial and government aviation markets; market position; anticipated activities and benefits related to new or expanding business relationships; expected contributions and synergies related to acquisitions; expansion of capabilities and operational footprint; opportunities for margin improvement through operations, integration activities and other efficiency initiatives; and continued sales and margin growth, earnings performance, debt management, and capital allocation.
Forward-looking statements often address our expected future operating and financial performance and financial condition, or targets, goals, commitments, and other business plans, and often may also be identified because they contain words such as "anticipate," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "potential," "predict," "intend," "believe," "may," "might," "will," "would," "should," "seek," "could," "positions," "likely," "target," "goal," "strategy" or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.
These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated, depending on a variety of factors, including: factors that adversely affect the commercial aviation industry; adverse events and negative publicity in the aviation industry; a reduction in sales to the U.S. government and its contractors; cost overruns and losses on fixed-price contracts; nonperformance by subcontractors or suppliers; our ability to manage our operational footprint; a reduction in outsourcing of maintenance and repair activity by airlines; a shortage of skilled personnel or work stoppages; competition from other companies; financial, operational and legal risks arising as a result of operating internationally; the failure to complete, integrate and realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, including execution of related operational and financial plans; circumstances associated with divestitures; the inability to recover costs due to fluctuations in market values for aviation products and equipment; cyber or other security threats or disruptions; the need to make significant capital expenditures to keep pace with technological developments in our industry; restrictions on the use of intellectual property and tooling important to our business; the inability to protect the value of our intellectual property; our ability to manage our debt and fund our other liquidity needs; limitations on our ability to access the debt and equity capital markets or to draw down funds under loan agreements; non-compliance with restrictive and financial covenants contained in our debt and loan agreements; changes in or non-compliance with laws and regulations related to federal contractors, the aviation industry, international operations, safety and environmental matters, and the costs of complying with such laws and regulations; exposure to product liability and property claims that may be in excess of our liability insurance coverage; the risk that the MRO Holdings acquisition (the "Acquisition") may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; the failure to satisfy the closing conditions to the Acquisition, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the share purchase agreement governing the Acquisition, including in certain circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee; the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing arrangements; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Acquisition on the Company's business relationships, operating results and business generally; risks that the Acquisition may disrupt the Company's current business plans and operations; the Company's ability to retain and hire key personnel in light of the Acquisition; risks related to diverting management's attention from the Company's ongoing business operations; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the Acquisition; potential litigation relating to the Acquisition; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate MRO Holdings and its subsidiaries following the closing of the Acquisition and to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition, including estimated cost and operational synergies, and the timeline to realize such benefits; the effects of the Acquisition on the Company's earnings, financial condition, net leverage ratio and credit ratings; the risk that the conditions to the potential private placement are not satisfied; the fact that the potential private placement may cause dilution to the Company's existing stockholders; the impact of the Acquisition on the Company's business and future financial condition and operating results, including the ability of the Company or MRO Holdings to repay or prepay indebtedness incurred in connection with the transaction or otherwise; and other factors disclosed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, as may be updated or supplemented by any subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize adversely, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described.
The Company derives many of its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. These events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond the Company's control. The risks described in these reports are not the only risks the Company faces, as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or foreseeable or deemed immaterial may materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, organic sales growth, adjusted operating margin, adjusted cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA (net leverage) are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful for investors as they illustrate our core operating performance, cash flows, and leverage unaffected by the impact of certain items that management does not believe are indicative of our ongoing and core operating activities. When reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business and provide a means by which to compare our operating performance and leverage against that of other companies in the industries we compete. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments for certain items including, but not limited to, the following:
- Expenses associated with recent acquisition activity, including professional fees for legal, due diligence, and other acquisition activities, intangible asset amortization, integration costs, non-cash rent expense associated with certain acquired leases classified within operating lease right-of-use assets, bargain purchase gains, and compensation expense related to contingent consideration and retention agreements.
- Losses related to our exit from our Indian joint venture, our Landing Gear Overhaul business, and our Composites manufacturing business, including legal fees for the performance guarantee associated with the Composites' A220 aircraft contract.
Adjusted EBITDA is net income before interest income (expense), other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and items of an unusual nature including but not limited to business divestitures and acquisitions, acquisition, integration, and amortization expenses from recent acquisition activity (see detailed description above), headquarters relocation activity, product line exits, and severance charges. Although our non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, they do not exclude the sales generated by the acquired businesses or otherwise attributable to those intangible assets.
The Company is not providing a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. Each of the adjustments has not occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For this reason, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G of the Exchange Act, we are providing the following tables that reconcile the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures:
