Analysis

This announcement highlighted record Q1 2026 sales of $156.1 million, strong Adjusted EBITDA of $63.2 million with a 40.5% margin, and an increased 2026 outlook for net sales and Adjusted EPS, offset by lower GAAP net income and EPS due to interest and amortization. It extends a trajectory of record 2025 results and recent acquisitions. Investors may track execution on integration, interest costs near the guided $80 million, and whether margins stay around 40%.

Recent Company History

Over the last six months, Loar reported record Q4 2025 and full‑year 2025 results and raised its 2026 outlook, completed the $250 million Harper Engineering acquisition and the LMB Fans & Motors deal, and regularly communicated earnings call dates. Those events produced mostly small positive price moves, with one acquisition drawing a mild decline. Today’s record Q1 2026 results and higher guidance extend the prior growth and M&A narrative.

Key Terms

ebitda, adjusted ebitda, adjusted ebitda margin, adjusted earnings per share, +4 more
8 terms
ebitda financial
"References to "EBITDA" mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
View in glossary
adjusted ebitda financial
"References to "Adjusted EBITDA" mean EBITDA plus, as applicable for each"
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.
adjusted ebitda margin financial
"references to "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" refer to Adjusted EBITDA divided"
Adjusted EBITDA margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core operations, expressed as a percentage of its total revenue, after removing certain one-time or unusual expenses and income. It helps investors understand the company's true earning ability from regular business activities, making it easier to compare performance over time or with other companies. Think of it as measuring the efficiency of a business in turning sales into profits, excluding irregular adjustments.
adjusted earnings per share financial
"References to "Adjusted Earnings Per Share" mean Adjusted Net Income divided"
Adjusted Earnings Per Share shows how much profit a company makes for each share of stock, but it removes unusual or one-time items like big expenses or gains. This helps investors see the company's true ongoing performance, making it easier to compare how well different companies are doing over time.
non-gaap financial
"Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
View in glossary
amortization of acquired intangible assets financial
"adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets. We believe this adjustment"
Amortization of acquired intangible assets is the gradual allocation of the purchase cost of non-physical items a company bought—like patents, brands, customer lists or software—spread over their expected useful life. It matters to investors because this accounting charge reduces reported profits even though it does not use cash at the time, so understanding it helps separate bookkeeping effects from underlying cash performance and valuation.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release includes express or implied forward-looking statements."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
form 10-k regulatory
"described in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year"
A Form 10-K is a comprehensive report that publicly traded companies are required to file annually with regulators. It provides a detailed overview of a company's financial health, operations, and risks, similar to a detailed health report. Investors use this information to assess the company's performance and make informed decisions about buying or selling its stock.

WHITE PLAINS, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / Loar Holdings Inc. (NYSE:LOAR) (the "Company," "Loar," "we," "us" and "our"), reported record results for the first quarter of 2026.

First Quarter 2026

  • Net sales of $156.1 million, up 36.1% compared to the prior year's quarter.

  • Net income of $11.1 million, compared to $15.3 million for the prior year's quarter, primarily resulting from higher interest, higher non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, and the non-recurring non-cash recognition of inventory step-up related to the LMB and Harper Engineering acquisitions.

  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.12 compared to $0.16 for the prior year's quarter, primarily resulting from higher interest, higher amortization of acquired intangible assets, and the non-recurring non-cash recognition of inventory step-up related to the LMB and Harper Engineering acquisitions.

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $63.2 million, up 46.6% compared to the prior year's quarter.

  • Net income margin of 7.1% compared to 13.4% for the prior year's quarter.

  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the quarter improved to 40.5% compared to 37.6% for the prior year's quarter.

  • Adjusted Earnings Per Share(1) of $0.34, up 21.4% compared to $0.28 for the prior year's quarter.

"Loar had a strong start to the year with net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin achieving record highs. As a result of these first quarter results, with further evaluation of orders to date, and considering the proprietary content of our portfolio, we have increased our guidance for 2026," said Dirkson Charles, Loar Holdings Chief Executive Officer and Executive Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors. "In addition, we have made continued advancement in new product development and qualification, adding to our confidence that we are well positioned to meet our higher guidance for 2026," continued Mr. Charles.

Loar reported net sales for the quarter of $156.1 million, an increase of $41.4 million or 36.1% over the prior year's quarter. Organically(2) net sales increased 11.4% or $13.0 million, to $127.7 million.

Net income for the quarter was $11.1 million, a decrease of $4.2 million compared to the prior year's quarter. The decrease in net income for the quarter was primarily driven by higher interest expense, higher amortization of acquired intangible assets, and recognition of inventory step-up related to the LMB and Harper Engineering acquisitions, partially offset by a lower tax provision.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $63.2 million, an increase of 46.6% or $20.1 million compared to the prior year's quarter. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 40.5%, compared to 37.6% in the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA Margin was due to the execution of our strategic value drivers and the accretive impact of increased sales.

(1) The calculation of Adjusted Earnings Per Share has been updated for the current and prior year's quarter to reflect an adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets. We believe this adjustment provides a more consistent view of our earnings.
(2) Net organic sales represent net sales from our existing businesses for comparable periods and exclude net sales from acquisitions. We include net sales from new acquisitions in net organic sales from the 13th month after the acquisition on a comparative basis with the prior period.

Full Year 2026 Outlook - Revised

"Our strong bookings and backlog indicate continued strength in demand throughout the balance of the year, and we have adjusted our guidance accordingly," said Glenn D'Alessandro, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. "Additionally, we revised our calculation of Adjusted Earnings Per Share to exclude the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles. As an acquisitive company, we believe this adjustment provides a more consistent view of our earnings. Please refer to the reconciliation tables for additional information."

  • Net sales - between $645 million and $655 million, up from between $640 million and $650 million.

  • Net income - between $53 million and $57 million, down from between $59 million and $63 million.

  • Adjusted EBITDA - between $257 million and $262 million, up from between $253 million and $258 million.

  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin - approximately 40%.

  • Diluted Earnings per share - between $0.54 and $0.59, down from between $0.60 and $0.65.

  • Net income margin - approximately 8%, down from approximately 9%

  • Adjusted Earnings Per Share(3) - between $1.26 and $1.30 up from between $1.21 and $1.25.

  • Interest expense - approximately $80 million.

  • Depreciation expense, approximately $15 million.

  • Amortization expense, approximately $65 million.

  • Market Assumptions - Full year outlook is based on the following assumptions:

    • Commercial, Business Jet, and General Aviation OEM growth of low-double digits.

    • Commercial, Business Jet, and General Aviation aftermarket growth of low-double digits.

    • Defense growth of mid-single digits.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures provided in the "Full Year 2026 Outlook - Revised" section on a forward-looking basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP because to do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.

(3) The calculation of Adjusted Earnings Per Share has been updated in the current and prior outlook to reflect an adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets. We believe this adjustment provides a more consistent view of our earnings.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Information

We present in this press release certain financial information based on our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share. References to "EBITDA" mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, references to "Adjusted EBITDA" mean EBITDA plus, as applicable for each relevant period, certain adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and references to "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" refer to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. References to "Adjusted Net Income" mean net income plus certain adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations below to derive Adjusted EBITDA from EBITDA and the amortization of acquired intangible assets, less the tax effect of these adjustments. References to "Adjusted Earnings Per Share" mean Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding-diluted. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share because we believe they are useful indicators for evaluating operating performance. In addition, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to review and assess the performance of the management team in connection with employee incentive programs and to prepare its annual budget and financial projections. Moreover, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA of target companies to evaluate acquisitions.

Although we use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share as measures to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, the use of non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider any of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness.

  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and the cash requirements for such replacements are not reflected in EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

  • EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share exclude the cash expense we have incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, which is a necessary element of certain of our acquisitions.

  • The omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share.

  • EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not include the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share 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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share 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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share 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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share may not be comparable to the calculations of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Future Looking Statements

This press release includes express or implied forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, including those that reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. The words "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "future," "will," "seek," "foreseeable," the negative version of these words or similar terms and phrases may identify forward-looking statements in this press release, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release, including, but not limited to, the statements under the heading "Full Year 2026 Outlook - Revised" are based on management's current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. Our expectations and beliefs are expressed in management's good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, however, the forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional, or local economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We believe that these factors include but are not limited to the following: 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 the other risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and other periodic reports filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this press release. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release speaks only as of the date of this press release and is expressly qualified in its entirety by the cautionary statements included in this press release. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, investments, or other strategic transactions we may make. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable law.

  1. The calculation of Adjusted Earnings Per Share has been updated for the current and prior year's quarter to reflect an adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets. We believe this adjustment provides a more consistent view of our earnings.

  2. The tax adjustment represents the tax effect of the adjustments at the applicable effective tax rate. To determine the applicable effective tax rate, transaction expenses and stock-based compensation are excluded from Adjusted Net Income and therefore we have excluded the impact those items have on the effective tax rate.
