Our Markets
We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.
The aerospace and defense markets represented approximately 75% of our 2025 sales. Our defense market, which represented 52% of our 2025 sales, is directly affected by defense funding levels and product demand, which have each recently increased. Our commercial aircraft market, which represented 23% of our 2025 sales, is aligning with our customers' current plans depending on a number of considerations. Within our various industrial markets, which represented 25% of our 2025 sales, our customers are affected by a broad range of factors.
Aerospace and Defense
Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.
The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. We have a growing development program order book for future generation aircraft and turret programs, and we strive to embed our technologies within the high-performance military programs of the future, including the Textron Bell MV-75. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictable capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense vehicle controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. At times when there are perceived threats to national security, U.S. and European defense spending can increase; at other times, defense spending can decrease. Future levels of defense spending are expected to increase in the near-term given current global tensions, but are subject to governmental approvals.
The commercial OEM aircraft market depends on a number of factors, including both the increasing global demand for air travel and increasing fuel prices. Both factors contributed to the demand for new, more fuel-efficient aircraft with lower operating costs, which has resulted in large production backlogs for Boeing and Airbus. Boeing and Airbus are producing widebody aircraft at rates to support their projected demand while continuing to work through their current supply-chain constraints. Any adjustments to their production rates affect the timing of the demand for our flight control systems.
The commercial aftermarket is driven by usage and the age of the existing aircraft fleet for passenger and cargo aircraft, which drives the need for maintenance and repairs. We have seen higher demand levels for our maintenance services and spare parts due to the increased number of flight hours across existing fleets.
The space market is comprised of three customer markets: civil, U.S. defense and commercial space. The civil market, namely NASA, is driven by investment for exploration activities. The U.S. defense market is driven by government-authorized levels of defense spending, including funding for defense-related satellite and space vehicle technologies. Levels of U.S. defense spending could increase as there is growing emphasis on space as the next frontier of potential future conflicts. The commercial space market is driven by demand for small satellites, which increases the demand for increased launch vehicle capacity. Our launch vehicle and satellite components and systems will continue to benefit from increased investments in each of these markets.
Industrial
Within industrial, we serve two end markets: industrial and medical. The industrial market consists of industrial automation products, simulation and test products and energy generation and exploration products. The medical market consists of medical devices and medical component products.
The industrial market we serve with our industrial automation products is influenced by several factors including capital investment levels, the pace of product and technology innovation, economic conditions and cost-reduction efforts. A portion of our industrial automation customers serve the automotive market as well as the data center cooling market.
Our simulation and test products operate in markets that are largely affected by the same factors as our commercial aircraft market. Demand for our flight simulation systems will substantially match the airline training market and the change in domestic and foreign flight hours.
Our energy generation and exploration products operate in a market that is influenced by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization and the resulting change in supply and demand for global energy. Drivers for global energy growth include investments in power generation infrastructure and exploration of new oil and gas resources.
The medical markets we serve, in general, are influenced by economic conditions, the current regulatory environment, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. Advances in medical technology and treatments have resulted in a greater need for medical services, which drive the demand for our medical devices and medical component products.
Our business strengths
Since our founding in 1951, we have concentrated on providing our customers with products designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. In achieving what we believe is a leadership position in the high-performance precision controls market, we have capitalized on our strengths, which include:
Large installed base and high switching costs enhance our competitive moat.
Our technical capabilities, in conjunction with our approach of working closely with our customers to solve their most demanding precision controls challenges, have helped us develop our reputation as a premier supplier of motion control solutions for mission critical applications, while simultaneously cultivating a number of significant, long-standing customer relationships. These relationships have created a large installed base of proprietary products that are included within complex engineered systems during the initial design phase, effectively locking our product in for the life of a program, which can have a lifecycle of 30 to 50 years.
A rigorous regulatory environment further reinforces barriers to entry: replacing a mission-critical component typically requires a multi-year, capital-intensive certification process. Our structural entrenchment in programs with leading OEMs has resulted in institutional partnerships that competitors cannot easily replicate. By solving our customers’ most complex design and development challenges, we
build upon our heritage as a leading supplier of high-performance precision controls, which in turn provides us with the opportunity to win content on new development and production programs. We also obtain stable aftermarket business on the installed base of products and systems. As a result, we believe we are a leader in many of the markets we serve, including aircraft flight controls, space and defense steering and fuel controls and certain industrial and energy controls.
Secular tailwinds support long-term growth.
Moog is strategically positioned to take advantage of numerous market tailwinds that are expected to support our long-term growth.
Rising geopolitical tensions in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific are expected to drive NATO allies’ defense spending from 2% to 3.5% of GDP by 2035. The U.S. Government has proposed a $1.5 trillion defense budget for FY 2027, representing an increase of approximately 50% over current funding levels.
Low current U.S. munitions inventory, hypersonics modernization and the upcoming golden dome initiative are prompting a multifold production increase across high priority missile systems. This environment is driving a substantial rebuild of missile arsenals, exemplified by a 7-year agreement to more than triple annual PAC-3 MSE interceptor production from 600 to 2,000 units, a program where Moog serves as a critical provider.
Growing global air travel demand and rising fuel prices are driving airlines to modernize fleets. The commercial aerospace segment is benefiting from a record industry-wide backlog of over 15,500 fuel-efficient aircraft, with major widebody programs like the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 targeting production rate increases of 100% and 25%, respectively, by 2028.
We are also receiving demand for our products from the AI-driven data center market, where global capex is projected to reach $1.7 trillion by 2030, driving demand for liquid cooling components. Liquid cooling is expected to rapidly overtake air-based systems as the primary cooling solution driven by the need for higher efficiency systems.
Diversification across segments provides stable and consistent growth through cycles.
Moog benefits from diversity across segments, geography, and customers, which provides resilience through cycles. Sales are evenly balanced across Space and Defense (29%), Military Aircraft (23%), Commercial Aircraft (24%), and Industrial (24%) for the LTM Q1’26 period. This intentional diversification provides a natural hedge against market volatility by offsetting the inherent cyclicality of the commercial aerospace and industrial sectors with the long-cycle, non-discretionary nature of defense programs and high-growth industrial niches such as medical technology and AI data center cooling. Moog’s platform-agnostic strategy further enhances this stability; by securing sole-source positions on many major widebody, fighter, and rotorcraft program—including the F-35, Boeing 787, and Airbus A350—Moog seeks to ensure it remains a critical beneficiary of industry growth regardless of which specific platform dominates the market.
This diversification is reinforced by a geographic fiscal year 2025 revenue mix of 63% in the United States, 6% in Germany, and 31% across other international markets. By maintaining 20 operating locations across 20 countries, Moog seeks to capture low-cost manufacturing efficiencies while balancing our U.S. defense core with accelerating tailwinds in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Customer mix also spans the U.S. Government (including OEM channels) and commercial customers.
Ultimately, this comprehensive diversification has allowed Moog to achieve a 7% revenue CAGR over the past 20 years, and to establish a record $6.0 billion total backlog as of the end of fiscal year 2025, which provides for superior long-term earnings visibility and credit stability through multiple economic cycles.
Sustained margin expansion driven by simplification initiatives.
We have executed on a structural transformation of our operational model that has driven ongoing margin expansion. A core pillar of this initiative is an intentional portfolio shaping exercise, where we focused on investing in growing businesses and pruned businesses and products that no longer fit our core mission.
We have also embarked on a multi-year plan to reduce global locations from a 2021 baseline of 83 to a target of 60 to 65 locations by the end of 2026. These efforts are underpinned by a data-driven 80/20 methodology that sharpens resource deployment and a factory optimization focus, which seeks to realign production facilities to meet market-specific needs and integrates automation to reduce manufacturing complexity and improve product lead times. This systematic approach has already delivered significant results, driving an approximately 190 bps expansion in Adjusted EBITDA margins from fiscal year 2023 to fiscal year 2025 and establishing a leaner, more profitable foundation.
Achieve target leverage levels with strong liquidity.
Moog maintains a highly disciplined capital structure characterized by low leverage and substantial liquidity. As of January 3, 2026, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the offering of the Notes pursuant to this offering memorandum and the use of the net proceeds therefrom as described in “Use of proceeds” and the entry into the Senior Bank Credit Facility, our net leverage would be 1.7x, which is at the low end of our long-term net leverage target. As of January 3, 2026, we supported our operational flexibility with $815 million in total liquidity, including $793 million of unused capacity under our $1.1 billion revolving credit facility. See “Description of certain other indebtedness.” We strategically manage our staggered debt maturity profile to minimize near-term refinancing risk. We believe this healthy balance sheet management provides Moog the ability to pursue a balanced capital deployment strategy that prioritizes organic investment and opportunistic M&A while maintaining a stable credit profile.
Our business strategy
Our strategy is to build upon our existing market leadership position and technical capabilities through an intensive focus on our three primary initiatives – innovation, simplification, and talent development – which in turn we believe will drive long-term growth in revenue and increased profitability.
Through our innovation efforts, we will continue to focus on an increase in our product and technological portfolio for the high-growth markets core to our business. In pursuing and achieving our strategic objectives, we expect to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio in terms of markets served, product applications, customer base, and geographic presence. As part of our focus on simplification, we intend to utilize 80/20 principles to continually address the process by which we design, manufacture, and deliver products, with a focus on decoupling our revenue growth from our fixed cost base. While our staff has always been a great source of our strength, through our talent initiative, we seek to continually enhance the skills and capabilities of our staff, as we believe that they are the key to our future success.
Maintain our technological excellence by building upon our systems integration capabilities while solving our customers’ most demanding technical problems.
Our commitment to technological excellence is demonstrated by our work on high-priority, "once-in-a-generation" programs, such as PAC-3 MSE, and MV-75, which support our ability to expand our scope of supply and win significant content on future platforms. We believe our successes in recent years in being selected to supply precision control systems on a number of significant platforms—including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, Boeing 787, Airbus A350, and NASA’s Space Launch System—owes in large part to the strong reputation we have successfully built, and is reflected in our record total backlog of $6.0 billion as of the end of fiscal year 2025. By taking advantage of our strong market position and deep relationships with key customers in high-end precision controls markets, we continue to build our credentials as an innovative, capable, and reliable systems integrator and subsystems supplier.
Take advantage of our distinctive global capabilities and strong engineering heritage to innovate.
Our global network of international operations, in concert with our strong base in the United States, provides us with distinctive opportunities to reach across the markets we serve worldwide. While our aerospace OEM activity is concentrated in the United States and Europe, our aerospace aftermarket business is global in nature. Our extensive global presence is complemented by our Company’s deep-seated engineering-focused culture; our operating philosophy is to identify centers of excellence for design, manufacture and aftermarket service, as well as collaborate globally to address our customers’ complex engineering requirements–such as our expanding work in liquid cooling pumps for hyperscale
data centers. With our objective of providing increasing value to our customers, we are able to take advantage of the synergies that result from sharing resources and capabilities across our operating units throughout the world.
Continue to grow our profitable aftermarket business.
We market spare and replacement parts and repair services directly to our aerospace and industrial customers through our extensive network of U.S. operations and international subsidiaries. Our aftermarket business generally is higher margin than our OEM business, and it provides a continuing revenue stream for many years both during and after the end of OEM production of a given program. In the commercial aircraft market, our increased scope of supply on next-generation airframes has allowed us to establish our Moog Total Support program to provide customized aftermarket and service packages to global commercial airline customers. We have also experienced aftermarket growth in the military aircraft space, particularly as more F-35 Lightning II aircraft are placed into service and through significant spares orders for programs like the V-22.
Capitalize on strategic opportunities.
We intend to enhance our existing product offerings and drive organic growth through continued investment in internal research and development activities and teaming with our customers in development initiatives. Simultaneously, we will continue to seek to augment our organic growth strategy through the pursuit of selective, strategic acquisitions, focusing on targets with approximately $50 to 300 million in annual sales, and which have potential to increase our EBITDA margin. We have made several acquisitions in recent years that have broadened our product offerings and the core markets we serve. For example, in July 2025, we acquired COTSWORKS Inc., a manufacturer of fiber optic transceivers and assemblies used in major aerospace and defense programs across both the U.S. and international markets.
Enhance operating processes through a continuous focus on simplification.
We continue to pursue cost and cycle time reductions, as well as reductions in our overall investment in working capital, by using 80/20 initiatives to improve efficiency and maximize value to all of our stakeholders without compromising quality. While our well-established low-cost manufacturing centers continue to provide us with a competitive advantage, we are further improving cost performance through factory optimization, realigning production facilities to meet market-specific needs and increasing automation to reduce manufacturing complexity.

(1) Total backlog is defined as confirmed orders we believe will be recognized as revenue, although we note that backlog dollars may not necessarily convert into sales.
(2) 12-month backlog is defined as confirmed orders we believe will be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months.
(3) Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities, less purchase of property, plant and equipment, less the benefit from the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted Net Earnings. Set forth below is our calculation of Free Cash Flow:

(g)Charges for fiscal year 2025 and LTM Q1’26 include tax impact of legal entity reorganization activities.
(5) EBITDA is defined as net earnings before income taxes, interest and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is a useful supplement to net earnings in understanding our performance and our ability to meet our future debt service costs and capital expenditure requirements. EBITDA does not represent net earnings as defined by GAAP and is not a measure of performance or liquidity under GAAP. Accordingly, EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings, net cash provided (used) by operating activities or other measures as determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance or liquidity. Our definition of EBITDA may differ from the definition of EBITDA used by other companies and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net earnings or net cash provided by operating activities as defined by GAAP. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or other measures as determined in accordance with GAAP as an indication of our operating performance. However, management believes these adjusted financial measures may be useful in evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. See “Non-GAAP financial measures.”
This definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the amounts calculated under the definition of Consolidated EBITDA contained in our Senior Bank Credit Facility and as defined and used in the section entitled “Description of notes.” We do not intend to provide Adjusted EBITDA information for future quarterly periods in earnings press releases, filings with the SEC or in response to inquiries.
Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
