Key Terms

remaining performance obligations, book-to-bill, adjusted ebitda, non-gaap adjusted net income
4 terms
remaining performance obligations financial
"Remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) at an all-time high"
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
book-to-bill financial
"strong bookings of $309.7 million during the quarter at a book-to-bill of 1.4x"
The book-to-bill ratio compares new orders a company has received (bookings) to the products or services it has invoiced or shipped (billings) over the same period. It matters to investors because a ratio above 1 means demand is outpacing fulfillment and the company may grow revenue or build backlog, while a ratio below 1 suggests slowing demand and possible future revenue weakness — think of it as new customer orders versus what the company actually sold.
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $38.4 million (increase of 21% year-over-year)"
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.
non-gaap adjusted net income financial
"Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $18.4 million"
A company’s non-GAAP adjusted net income is its reported profit after management removes certain expenses or gains that it considers one-time, nonrecurring, or not part of core operations (for example, restructuring costs or stock-based pay). Investors watch it as an attempt to show the company’s ongoing earning power — like looking at a cleaned-up weekly budget — but because companies choose what to exclude, it’s important to compare the underlying details rather than the headline number alone.

Record Revenue and Gross Margin; Remaining Performance Obligations at All-Time High

COSTA MESA, Calif., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”) today reported results for its second quarter ended July 4, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Recap

  • Record Net Revenue was $224.5 million, an increase of 12% over Q2 2025*
  • Record Gross margin of 28.0%, year-over-year growth of 160 bps
  • Net income of $20.4 million (increase of 60% year-over-year) or $1.31 per diluted share, and 9.1% of revenue, up 270 bps year-over-year
  • Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $18.4 million (increase of 35% year-over-year), or $1.18 per diluted share
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $38.4 million (increase of 21% year-over-year), or 17.1% of revenue, up 130 bps year-over-year
  • Remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) at an all-time high of $1.2 billion with strong bookings of $309.7 million during the quarter at a book-to-bill of 1.4x

“An outstanding second quarter and first half of 2026 for Ducommun. I could not be happier. Our team continued to make great progress towards our VISION 2027 goals with another record for revenue and gross margin during the second quarter. Net revenue grew by double digits at 12%, led by the continued ramp in commercial aerospace, along with solid gains in our defense business,” said Stephen G. Oswald, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Significant growth on single-aisle aircraft including the Boeing 737 MAX and the Airbus A320 drove 16% year-over-year increase as our commercial aerospace business ramps up and DCO continues to build upon the strong momentum from the first quarter. Ducommun’s defense business saw significant growth once again across our missile franchise and particularly on the PAC-3 and SM-6 missile platforms, along with growth on fixed-wing aircraft platforms notably the F-15, partially offset by temporal weakness on radar, space and naval programs. The 1.4x book-to-bill was also an impressive performance in the quarter and dramatically better than Q2 2025.

“Margin expansion was very strong in the quarter expanding 160 bps year-over-year to an all-time record 28.0%. Adjusted EBITDA expanded by 130 bps year-over-year from 15.8% to 17.1% and DCO is in excellent shape working towards the VISION 2027 financial goal of 18% Adjusted EBITDA.

“Halfway through year four, our strong performance across revenue, gross margin, and Adjusted EBITDA margins along with our record level of Remaining Performance Obligations positions us well towards meeting our VISION 2027 targets. While we expect to see some continued destocking headwinds in the remaining quarters of 2026, we have begun to see those pressures ease gradually. Ducommun’s missile franchise also continues to gain strength both in revenue and orders, and we are well positioned to benefit from the expected major ramp-up in missile production.”

Second Quarter Results

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $224.5 million compared to $200.8 million for the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the following in the Company's key end-use markets:

  • $12.0 million higher revenue in the Company’s commercial aerospace end-use markets due to higher rates on large aircraft platforms; and
  • $7.9 million higher revenue in the Company’s military and space end-use markets due to higher rates on several missiles and fixed-wing aircraft platforms, partially offset by lower rates on a classified program, selected radar, rotary-wing aircraft, and naval platforms.

In addition, revenue for the Company’s industrial end-use markets for the second quarter of 2026 increased $3.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 mainly due to timing of orders.

Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $20.4 million, or 9.1% of revenue, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $12.8 million, or 6.4% of revenue, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. This mainly reflects higher gross profit of $9.9 million. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 was flat as the second quarter of 2026 includes compensation clawback of $3.9 million, which is a reduction to SG&A expenses.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $62.9 million, or 28.0% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $53.0 million, or 26.4% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net revenue year-over-year was primarily due to higher manufacturing volume and savings from the facility consolidation program, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2026 was $28.3 million, or 12.6% of revenue, compared to operating income of $17.7 million, or 8.8% of revenue, in the comparable period last year. The year-over-year increase of $10.6 million was primarily due to higher gross profit and compensation clawback included as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income for the second quarter of 2026 was $26.7 million, or 11.9% of revenue, compared to $20.6 million, or 10.2% of revenue, in the comparable period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was $38.4 million, or 17.1% of revenue, compared to $31.6 million, or 15.8% of revenue, for the comparable period in 2025.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $3.5 million compared to $3.0 million in the comparable period of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a higher outstanding debt balance, partially offset by lower interest rates.

During the second quarter of 2026, the net cash provided by operations was $33.5 million compared to $22.4 million during the second quarter of 2025. The higher net cash provided by operations during the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to higher net income, higher accounts payable, and higher contract liabilities, partially offset by higher accounts receivable and higher inventories.

Electronic Systems

Electronic Systems segment net revenue for the quarter ended July 4, 2026 was $131.4 million, compared to $109.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the following in the Company's key end-use markets:
