First Quarter 2025 Consolidated Results

StandardAero reported revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $1,435.6 million, an increase of 16.2% compared to $1,235.7 million for the prior year period. The increase was driven by both the Engine Services and Component Repair Services segments, with continued strength across the commercial aerospace and business aviation end markets, which increased 18.1% and 12.9%, respectively, compared to the prior year period. The military and helicopter end market increased 9.9% compared to the prior year period, driven by the contribution of the acquisition of Aero Turbine, Inc. that closed in August 2024 ("ATI").

Net income was $62.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to net income of $3.2 million for the prior year period. The increase in net income compared to the prior year period reflects the $33.8 million lower interest expense associated with the company's post-IPO capital structure, as well as higher operating earnings.
