Quarter Results
Sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased in all of the segments compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by records in Commercial Aircraft, Space and Defense and Military Aircraft. Commercial Aircraft sales increased 27% to $252 million, driven by volume on major production programs and aftermarket associated with strong fleet utilization of the 787 and A350 programs. Space and Defense sales increased 17% to $307 million, reflecting broad-based demand across the defense portfolio, including missile controls and satellite components. Military Aircraft sales increased 10% to $236 million, driven by higher activity associated with the MV-75 program and by incremental pricing, primarily within aftermarket. Industrial sales increased 5% to $253 million as demand for medical devices and data center cooling pumps increased.
Operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 180 basis points to 11.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting stronger performance and lower simplification charges. Industrial operating margin increased 860 basis points to 12.7%, reflecting both higher simplification charges incurred in the prior year, and the resulting current year benefits, partially offset by tariff pressure. Military Aircraft operating margin increased 210 basis points to 14.0%, driven by pricing activities as well as a favorable sales mix. Space and Defense operating margin was 10.2%, essentially flat year over year, as profitable sales growth was largely offset by charges associated with the settlement of a legal dispute. Commercial Aircraft operating margin decreased 400 basis points to 11.4%, primarily due to tariff pressure and an unfavorable sales mix.
Adjusted operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 20 basis points to 13.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Military Aircraft adjusted operating margin increased 210 basis points to 14.1%, driven by pricing activities as well as a favorable sales mix. Space and Defense adjusted operating margin increased 190 basis points to 15.1%, driven by profitable sales growth, partially offset by investments in product development, business capture and operational readiness. Industrial adjusted operating margin increased 70 basis points to 13.9%, as a favorable sales mix and simplification initiatives more than offset tariff pressure. Commercial Aircraft adjusted operating margin decreased 440 basis points to 11.4%, primarily due to tariff pressure and an unfavorable sales mix.
Free cash flow for the quarter was a record $199 million, driven by strong cash generation from changes in working capital, in particular cash generated from customer advances. Capital expenditures were $42 million, reflecting continued investment in manufacturing operations.
Year Results
Sales for fiscal 2025 increased 7% compared to fiscal 2024, reflecting record sales in each of the Commercial Aircraft, Space and Defense and Military Aircraft segments. Commercial Aircraft sales increased 15% to $904 million, due to strong aftermarket demand and the ongoing widebody production ramps. Space and Defense sales increased 9% to $1.1 billion, driven by continued broad-based defense demand across the portfolio. Military Aircraft sales increased 9% to $888 million, driven by higher activity for the MV-75 and new production programs. Industrial sales decreased 4% to $956 million, due to divestitures completed at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Operating margin for fiscal 2025 increased 40 basis points to 11.6% compared to fiscal 2024, due to stronger financial performance across all of the segments. The increases were partially offset by tariffs, primarily in Commercial Aircraft and Industrial, and by last year's ERC benefit. Industrial operating margin increased 190 basis points to 11.3%, driven by the benefit of simplification initiatives. Military Aircraft operating margin increased 60 basis points to 11.1%, driven by stronger business performance and pricing benefits, partially offset by the gain from the sale of a mature product line. Space and Defense operating margin decreased 70 basis points to 11.8% due to last year's ERC benefit. Commercial Aircraft operating margin decreased 10 basis points to 12.4%, driven by pressure associated with tariffs, offset by the sale of a non-core product line as part of the portfolio shaping activities.
Record adjusted operating margin for fiscal 2025 increased 30 basis points to 13.0% compared to fiscal 2024, reflecting stronger financial performance across all of the segments. Industrial adjusted operating margin increased 80 basis points to 13.5%, due to the benefit from simplification initiatives, partially offset by tariff pressure. Military Aircraft adjusted operating margin increased 40 basis points to 12.3%, driven by stronger business performance and pricing benefits. Space and Defense adjusted operating margin increased 20 basis points to 13.5%, supported by profitable sales growth, partially offset by last year's ERC benefit and this year's investments to support growth. Commercial Aircraft adjusted operating margin decreased 30 basis points to 12.4%, reflecting tariff pressure, partially offset by a non-core product line sale.
Free cash flow for the year was $128 million, reflecting business investments to support the record level of sales, including capital expenditures and within working capital.
Fiscal 2026 Financial Guidance
"Fiscal year 2026 will be another great year in which we continue to build our financial strength," said Jennifer Walter, CFO. "We will achieve a record level of sales, further expand our operating margin and make meaningful progress towards generating strong free cash flow."
Operating margin and adjusted operating margin for fiscal 2025 included approximately 50 basis points of tariff pressure. Operating margin and adjusted operating margin for fiscal 2026 is forecasted to include 80 basis points of tariff pressure.

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. Free cash flow and free cash flow conversion are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures as used by other companies. However, management believes these adjusted financial measures may be useful in evaluating the liquidity, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This information should be considered supplemental and is not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 27, 2025, management identified immaterial misstatements in previously issued consolidated financial statements and interim consolidated condensed financial statements, impacting prior periods.
The principal misstatement related to the accounting for a distinct group of long-term aftermarket service contracts with customers in the Commercial Aircraft segment. Specifically, there were inaccurate inputs used in the total costs at completion estimate within the over-time revenue recognition calculation for these contracts that accumulated over several years. Additionally, other unrelated immaterial misstatements, including an adjustment for the understatement of certain warranty costs, were also identified.
We evaluated the nature and magnitude of all identified misstatements to assess the materiality, including quantitative and qualitative considerations, and determined that the misstatements were not material, individually or in aggregate, to any previously issued quarterly or annual consolidated financial statements. However, correcting these misstatements entirely in the current period would have been material to our 2025 financial statements. As a result we have revised our prior period annual consolidated financial statements for 2023 and 2024 and our quarterly consolidated condensed financial statements for 2024 and 2025 to reflect the corrections in the periods in which the misstatements originated.
A summary of the corrections and their related impacts on each financial statement line items from our previously issued consolidated financial statements will be presented in Note 25 - Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC and in the revised Consolidated Financial Statement tables below.
