These actions reflect our confidence in the long-term outlook for the company and commitment to disciplined capital allocation and long-term shareholder value creation.”
Third Quarter 2026 Consolidated Results
Revenue for the Third Quarter 2026 was $1,557.4 million, a variance of $59.5 million, from $1,498.0 million for the prior year period. This was driven by growth across all three major end markets. The business aviation end market grew 7.4% compared to the prior year period, the military and helicopter end market grew 7.2%, compared to the prior year period and the commercial aerospace end market grew 1.3% compared to the prior year period.
Net income for the Third Quarter 2026 was $92.8 million, as compared to net income of $68.1 million for the prior year period, a change of 36.2% year-over-year. Net Income Margin was 6.0% in the quarter, compared to 4.5% in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Third Quarter 2026 was $224.9 million, a variance of $29.4 million, from $195.6 million for the prior year period, or 15% growth year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 14.4%, a variance of 130 basis points, compared to 13.1% in the prior year period, primarily due to volume, mix, productivity improvements and the elimination of pass-through revenue.
Third Quarter 2026 Segment Results
Engine Services Segment
Engine Services segment revenue for the Third Quarter 2026 was $1,368.8 million, a variance of $46.6 million, or 3.5%, from $1,322.2 million for the prior year period. The change was driven primarily by volume, partially offset by the elimination of pass-through revenue.
Engine Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Third Quarter 2026 was $205.1 million, a variance of $39.7 million, or 24.0%, from $165.4 million for the prior year period. This was driven by volume, mix, productivity gains, and increase in used serviceable material. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 15.0%, a variance of 250 basis points compared to 12.5% in the prior year period.
Component Repair Services Segment
Component Repair Services segment revenue for the Third Quarter 2026 was $188.7 million, a variance of $12.9 million, or 7.3%, from $175.8 million for the prior year period. The change was driven by volume.
Component Repair Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Third Quarter 2026 was $48.6 million, a variance of $(5.3) million, or (9.9%), from $54.0 million for the prior year period. This was driven primarily by productivity and mix. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 25.8%, a variance of -490 basis points compared to 30.7% in the prior year period.
Share Repurchase Activity and Accelerated Share Repurchase
On October 28, 2026, the Board approved a $560.0 million increase to the Company’s share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $1.0 billion. Under the program, the Company has repurchased approximately $160.1 million of its common shares to date, including $50.1 million during the third quarter of 2026. As a result, the Company has $850.0 million remaining under the share repurchase program.
In connection with the increased authorization, the Company intends to enter into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR”) with Morgan Stanley to repurchase $350.0 million of its common shares. Following completion of the ASR, approximately $500.0 million will remain available under the share repurchase program.
Full Year 2026 Guidance
StandardAero is updating its full year 2026 guidance:
| Full Year 2026 | ($ in millions) |
|---|
| Revenue (increase) | $6,525 to $6,645 |
|---|
| Engine Services | $5,770 to $5,870 |
|---|
| Component Repair Services | $755 to $775 |
|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA (increase) | $905 to $920 |
|---|
| Engine Services Segment | $810 to $820 |
|---|
| Component Repair Services Segment | $205 to $210 |
|---|
| Adjusted Free Cash Flow | $270 to $300 |
|---|
| Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (increase) | $1.57 to $1.62 |
|---|
| End Market Revenue Growth Assumptions | |
|---|
| Commercial Aerospace | Low-Double Digit to Mid-Teens YoY Growth |
|---|
| Military & Helicopter | Low-Double Digit YoY Growth |
|---|
| Business Aviation | High-Single Digit to Low-Double Digit YoY Growth |
|---|
Includes effect from the elimination of approximately $300 million in material pass-through revenue.
Defined as Free Cash Flow excluding the purchase of intangible assets. Although StandardAero has previously provided guidance for Free Cash Flow, the Company has determined to provide guidance for Adjusted Free Cash Flow going forward because management believes that excluding the purchase of all intangible assets will provide investors with a more useful baseline for evaluating the Company’s core operating performance, as these cash payments - whether arising from acquisition accounting or license-related intangible investments - do not reflect StandardAero’s ongoing operations.
Effective Q2 2026, the Company updated its definition of Adjusted Diluted EPS to broaden the existing exclusion of amortization of acquired intangible assets to also exclude the non-cash amortization of all intangible assets, including intangible assets associated with licenses. Management believes that excluding this item provides investors with a more useful baseline for evaluating core operating performance, as these non-cash charges - whether arising from acquisition accounting or license-related intangible investments - do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations and facilitate more consistent comparison of results across periods regardless of how the Company has chosen to deploy capital.
Excludes effect from the elimination of approximately $300 million in material pass-through revenue.
StandardAero has not reconciled its full year 2026 guidance related to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow or Adjusted Diluted EPS to its most directly comparable forward looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measure without unreasonable effort or expense.

Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements notice
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foreseeable,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” or “would” and/or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future. They appear in a number of places throughout this press release and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, results of operations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, our financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth and strategies, the industry in which we operate, our share repurchase program, including the size and timing of repurchases under the anticipated accelerated share repurchase agreement, and other information that is not historical information. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this press release, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or quantify.
Forward-looking statements notice
Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning our possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements included in this press release include, among others: risks related to conditions that affect the commercial and business aviation industries; decreases in budget, spending or outsourcing by our military end-users; risks from any supply chain disruptions or loss of key suppliers; increased costs of labor, equipment, raw materials, freight and utilities due to inflation; future outbreaks and infectious diseases; risks related to competition in the market in which we participate; loss of an OEM authorization or license; risks related to a significant portion of our revenue being derived from a small number of customers; our ability to remediate effectively the material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting; our ability to respond to changes in GAAP; our or our third-party partners’ failure to protect confidential information; data security incidents or disruptions to our IT systems and capabilities; our ability to comply with laws relating to the handling of information about individuals; changes to, and the impact of, United States tariff and import/export regulations; failure to maintain our regulatory approvals; risks relating to our operations outside of North America; failure to comply with government procurement laws and regulations; any work stoppage, hiring, retention or succession issues with our senior management team and employees; any strains on our resources due to the requirements of being a public company; risks related to our substantial indebtedness; risks related to the ownership of our common stock, including the fact that Carlyle owns a significant amount of our voting power; our success at managing the risks of the foregoing, and the other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and our other filings with the SEC.
As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this press release will prove to be accurate. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. We operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict the impact of all of these factors on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Forward-looking statements notice
Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives, plans or cost savings in any specified time frame or at all. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this press release, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted Diluted EPS”), Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our business operations.
We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS, provide supplemental information that helps investors better understand our financial condition and operating results and assess our future prospects. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, are important supplemental measures that exclude non-cash or other items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and the overall health of our company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors greater transparency to the information used by management for its operational decision-making and allow investors to see our results “through the eyes of management.” We further believe that providing this information assists our investors in understanding our operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. We also present Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which are liquidity measures. We believe these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding our liquidity and cash flow, as these measures are also used by management to assess liquidity, evaluate operating cash flow and make resource allocation decisions. We believe it is important to measure the free cash flows we have generated from operations, after accounting for routine capital expenditures required to generate those cash flows. When read in conjunction with our GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as one basis for financial, operational and planning decisions. Finally, these measures are often used by analysts and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for certain non-cash items that we may record each period, as well as non-recurring items such as acquisition costs, integration and severance costs, refinance fees, business transformation costs and other discrete expenses, when applicable. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We define Adjusted Net Income as GAAP Net income, adjusted for certain one-time items that we may record in a period, as well as non-recurring items such as acquisition costs, integration and severance costs, refinance fees, business transformation costs and other discrete expenses, when applicable, and amortization of intangible assets, adjusted for the tax effect. We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by the Total Diluted Shares Outstanding. This Adjusted Diluted EPS definition was recast in Q2 2026 to exclude amortization of all intangible assets. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are important metrics for management and investors as they remove the impact of items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating results or the overall health of our company and allows for consistent comparison of our operating results over time and relative to our peers. We define Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents divided by Adjusted EBITDA. We define Free
Cash Flow as cash from operating activities less capital expenditures. We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Free Cash Flow excluding the purchase of intangible assets.
Management recognizes that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes, thereby affecting their comparability from company to company. In order to compensate for these and the other limitations discussed below, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures included in this press release and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Forward-looking statements notice
We have presented forward-looking statements regarding Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses or income, from the corresponding financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from each non-GAAP financial measure is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period in reliance on the exception provided by item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of each forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted EPS measure to its most directly comparable forward looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measure without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s future financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between our actual results and the forward-looking non-GAAP financial data set forth above may be material.

Effective Q2 2026, the Company updated its definition of Adjusted Diluted EPS to broaden the existing exclusion of amortization of acquired intangible assets to also exclude the non-cash amortization of all intangible assets, including intangible assets associated with licenses. Management believes that excluding this item provides investors with a more useful baseline for evaluating core operating performance, as these non-cash charges - whether arising from acquisition accounting or license-related intangible investments - do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations and facilitate more consistent comparison of results across periods regardless of how the Company has chosen to deploy capital, and will provide further comparability to StandardAero’s peers.
