Key Terms

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

book-to-bill ratio financial

The book-to-bill ratio compares the value of new orders a company receives to the value of products it ships out or bills for over a certain period. If the ratio is above 1, it means the company is getting more orders than it is completing, which can indicate growth. If it's below 1, it suggests demand is slowing down.

valuation allowance financial

A valuation allowance is a reserve set aside to reduce the value of certain assets on a company's financial records when there is uncertainty about whether they will generate the expected benefits. It acts like a caution sign, indicating that some assets might not be fully recoverable or worth their recorded amount. This matters to investors because it provides a more realistic picture of a company's financial health and potential risks.

Second Quarter 2026 Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)

Growth in sales was driven by the Aerospace segment’s continued strength in demand primarily from the Commercial Transport market, including $5.9 million from the acquisition of BMA. Aerospace sales increased $43.7 million, or 22.6%, while Test Systems sales grew $11.6 million, or 105.1%. Test Systems sales in the prior year were negatively impacted by $6.4 million due to revisions of estimated costs to complete certain long-term mass transit contracts.

Gross profit increased $34.1 million to $86.9 million, or 33.4% of sales, a 760 basis point improvement over the comparator quarter. Gross profit growth and margin expansion were primarily attributable to higher volume, improved productivity, and a $2.0 million IEEPA tariff refund. Prior-year gross profit was negatively impacted by a $5.8 million charge related to Aerospace simplification initiatives and a $6.9 million adverse impact related to a revision of estimated costs to complete certain long-term mass transit contracts in the Test Systems segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased $0.9 million. Litigation-related expenses were down $0.9 million, and the prior-year period included a $3.5 million legal fee reimbursement charge relating to the patent infringement dispute in the UK. These decreases were mostly offset by higher wages and benefits, higher incentive-based compensation expenses driven by increased profitability, and incremental expenses related to the acquired BMA business. R&D was down $0.7 million reflecting the timing of projects.

Operating margin expanded 1,330 basis points and adjusted operating margin² expanded 770 basis points as a result of higher volume and improved productivity in the Aerospace segment and improved performance in the Test Systems segment.

Interest expense was down $0.8 million, or 24.7%, on lower rates following the September 2025 refinancing activities. Tax expense in the quarter of $2.8 million reflects the benefits of a partial valuation allowance reversal and research and development costs expected to be expensed.

Consolidated net income of $0.75 per diluted share improved from $0.03 per diluted share in the prior-year period from stronger operating profit. Adjusted EBITDA² increased 102.9% to $51.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin² expanded 740 basis points to 19.8% of consolidated sales.

Record bookings of $306.2 million in the quarter resulted in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.18:1. For the trailing twelve months, bookings totaled $1.06 billion and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.13:1. Backlog at the end of the quarter was $780.6 million, representing the third consecutive quarter of record backlog.

Aerospace Segment Review (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)

Aerospace segment sales of $237.3 million increased $43.7 million, or 22.6%. Sales in the Commercial Transport market increased $31.4 million, or 21.6%. Growth was primarily related to increased demand for seat motion and inflight entertainment & connectivity (“IFEC”) products. General Aviation sales increased $9.2 million, or 50.3%, to $27.6 million due to higher IFEC product sales of VVIP products. Military Aircraft sales increased $3.2 million, or 11.7%, to $30.6 million from increased sales of flight critical airframe power products.

Aerospace segment operating profit of $48.3 million, or 20.3% of sales, improved over the prior-year period reflecting the leverage gained on higher volume, improving production efficiencies, a $2.0 million IEEPA tariff refund, a $4.6 million decrease in litigation-related expenses and legal reserve adjustments related to the UK patent dispute previously discussed, and the absence of a $6.2 million charge for simplification initiatives in the prior-year period. Adjusted Aerospace operating profit² increased 61.0% to $50.7 million, or 21.4% of sales, a 510-basis point expansion over the comparator quarter.

Aerospace bookings were $243.1 million for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.02:1. During the second quarter, the contract for the current engineering phase of the MV-75 FLRAA program was finalized, which resulted in a booking of $27.4 million. Record backlog for the Aerospace segment was $657.2 million at quarter end.

Mr. Gundermann commented, “Our Aerospace business delivered excellent results for the second quarter, achieving record quarterly sales and a 20.3% operating margin. A highlight in the quarter was the finalization of the development contract for the MV-75 FLRAA program, which resulted in a net booking of $27 million. We continue to perform well on that program with expected completion of the development program occurring in mid-2027. Overall, demand for our products remains robust, the team is executing well and we believe we are well positioned for further growth.”

Test Systems Segment Review (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)

Test Systems segment sales of $22.7 million were up $11.6 million from the comparator quarter in 2025. Segment sales in the prior-year period were negatively impacted by a $6.4 million revision of estimated costs to complete certain long-term mass transit contracts, reducing revenue recognized in the period.

Test Systems segment operating profit was $0.6 million, compared with an operating loss of $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. The revisions to the estimated costs to complete had a $6.9 million detrimental impact to operating income in the prior year. Test Systems profitability continues to be negatively affected by mix and under absorption of fixed costs at current volume levels, as well as approximately $4.1 million of revenue in the current quarter at no margin related to dedicated raw materials for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps Radio Test Set programs. Margin on that revenue will be recognized through 2026 as production on those programs progress further.

Bookings for the Test Systems segment in the quarter were $63.1 million, inclusive of a $44.7 million order from the U.S. Army initiating full rate production for the TS-4549/T Radio Test Sets Program, which is expected to cover deliveries over the next 18 months. The book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was 2.78:1. Backlog for the Test Systems segment was $123.3 million at quarter end.

Mr. Gundermann commented, “The big news in the second quarter for our Test business was the first production order for the U.S. Army’s TS-4549/T Radio Test program. Its contribution to our second quarter results was marginal, but the program’s impact will be significant as it ramps up in the coming quarters. This first production order is expected to be followed by similar annual orders in each of the coming four years.”

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Cash provided by operations in the second quarter of 2026 was $30.1 million, reflecting higher cash earnings offset by higher working capital requirements, including higher inventory levels to support anticipated revenue growth in the coming quarters. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $5.7 million and $16.9 million year-to-date. Elevated capital expenditures reflect necessary catch-up investments on previously deferred spending as well as the consolidation of operations and capacity improvement in a new Seattle facility. The Company expects to be free cash flow positive for the remainder of the year.

Long-term debt decreased $24.1 million to $310.3 million at July 4, 2026, compared with the end of 2025. The Company had available liquidity of $253.2 million at quarter-end, including $15.4 million in available cash and $237.8 million in availability on its revolver.

Update on Favorable Appeal Ruling from UK Court of Appeal

As previously announced, a favorable judgment was issued on July 27, 2026, by the United Kingdom Court of Appeal regarding the Company’s long-running patent infringement dispute with Lufthansa Technik AG. The Company’s position is that approximately $2.2 million (including interest) of the damages paid by the Company to Lufthansa is due to be repaid to the Company. The Company also expects to be reimbursed for a portion its legal fees and those previously paid to Lufthansa, but the amount cannot be estimated at this time. Any reimbursements will be recorded when received, which is expected to be in the third quarter of 2026.

2026 Outlook

Astronics expects to set another annual sales record in 2026 with revenue estimated to be $1.02 billion to $1.04 billion for the year, with third quarter sales of $265 million to $275 million. Record backlog at the end of the second quarter was $780.6 million, of which approximately 82% is expected to drive revenue over the next twelve months.

Mr. Gundermann concluded, “We expect to set yet another quarterly sales record in the third quarter, with revenue in the fourth quarter to improve modestly from there. Given our record backlog and the continued strength in our order book, we believe we are well situated to deliver growth for the foreseeable future.”

Planned capital expenditures in 2026 are expected to be in the range of $40 million to $45 million driven largely by costs associated with the Seattle operation consolidation, which will conclude in the third quarter.

The Company estimates future IEEPA tariff refunds will range from $6 million to $8 million although the timing of such receipts cannot be confirmed at this time.

The Company believes that presenting Adjusted Diluted EPS provides a better understanding of its earnings power inclusive of adjusting for the non-cash amortization of intangible assets, reflecting the Company’s strategy to grow through acquisitions as well as organically.

¹ Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted segment operating margin are Non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the tables that accompany this release.

² Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment operating profit and margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are Non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the tables that accompany this release.

³ All share and per share information have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the twenty percent Class B stock distribution to shareholder of record on June 15, 2026.

⁴ In addition to incremental shares from stock awards, weighted-average diluted shares for the three and six months ended July 4, 2026 include 1.708 million and 1.492 million assumed shares, respectively, related to the premium on the 0% convertible notes, as the Company’s average stock price during the periods exceeded the $45.19 per‑share conversion price (as adjusted for the twenty percent Class B stock distribution). Because of the capped call, there is no effective dilution to shareholders from the 0% convertible notes unless and until the share price exceeds $68.44 per-share cap price. The diluted EPS calculation for the three and six months ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025 excludes the effect of the 5.5% convertible notes because they are anti-dilutive for those periods.

⁵ Prior-period Shareholders’ Equity balances have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the twenty percent Class B stock distribution to shareholders of record on June 15, 2026, with no impact on Total Shareholders’ Equity.

⁶ Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Company reorganized its product line structure to align with changes in internal reporting. The Company recast the prior-year disaggregation of sales by product line to conform with the updated, current-period presentation.

⁷ Aerospace backlog of approximately $2.4 million and $10.6 million was added in the third and fourth quarters of 2025, respectively, in connection with the acquisitions of Envoy Aerospace and Bühler Motor Aviation.

⁸ Applies a normalized tax rate of 25% to GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP adjustments above, which are each pre-tax.

⁹ All share and per share information have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the twenty percent Class B stock distribution to shareholders of record on June 15, 2026.
