AAR CORP. (AIR) FY-2025 Proxy Highlights
Management reports a record year on the Company’s 70th anniversary. Consolidated sales rose 20% YoY to $2.78 billion, exceeding pre-pandemic levels, driven by expanded new-parts Distribution and strong MRO performance. Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations reached a record $3.91 (+17%), although GAAP diluted EPS fell to $0.35 (FY-24 $1.29) after non-cash items. Operating income climbed to $185 million (FY-24 $129 million). Cash from operations was $36 million, reflecting heavy inventory investment.
Capital deployment included completing the integration of the FY-24 Product Support acquisition and continuing to scale Trax, whose revenue has nearly doubled since purchase. Portfolio optimization saw the divestiture of the Landing Gear Overhaul unit and ongoing digital upgrades toward “paperless hangars”; two facility expansions (Oklahoma City, Miami) are scheduled to add MRO capacity in FY-26. Total debt stands at $977 million vs. $997 million prior year.
