AAR CORP (AIR) Business

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

General

AAR CORP. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein collectively as “AAR,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” unless the context indicates otherwise. AAR was incorporated in 1955 and we are a leading independent provider of solutions to the global aviation aftermarket. We offer a broad line of products and services to commercial and government aerospace customers. We operate globally in over 20 countries through four business segments: Parts Supply, Repair & Engineering, Integrated Solutions and Expeditionary Services.

In fiscal 2025, we continued our efforts to optimize our products and services portfolio to position us for continued strong growth as well as to respond to the industry’s increased demand for aftermarket services. Double-digit sales growth in our new parts Distribution activities was a key contributor to improvements in profitability. Our fiscal 2023 investment in Trax has enabled us to scale to win the business from some of the largest airlines and maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) providers. We also continued our integration of our fiscal 2024 Product Support acquisition and have realized significant synergies while our broader Component Services activities have benefited from these additional capabilities, expanded global footprint, and higher margin offerings brought through the acquisition.

As part of our portfolio optimization efforts, we divested our Landing Gear Overhaul (“LGO”) business to better focus on our core segments and highest margin offerings. We have made further investments to continue to strengthen our existing businesses, including in digital technologies, to help transform our service delivery and the aviation industry while contributing to improved profitability. In our Airframe MRO activities, digital advancements have driven efficiencies contributing to significant profitability improvement, and we continue to make progress toward additional maintenance capacity through the construction of two Airframe MRO facility expansions, one in Miami, Florida and one in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Consolidated sales in fiscal 2025 increased $461.6 million, or 19.9%, over the prior year primarily due to an increase in sales to commercial customers. Consolidated sales to commercial customers increased $338.2 million, or 20.6%, over the prior year primarily due to the acquisition of the Product Support business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and strong demand and volume growth in our Parts Supply segment from our new parts distribution activities. Our consolidated sales to government customers increased $123.4 million, or 18.1%, primarily due to increased sales volume for our new parts distribution activities and increased pallet demand in our Mobility business.

We were also successful in winning new long-term agreements in both the government and commercial markets. In our Parts Supply segment, we were awarded multiple distribution contracts including from Unison, Chromalloy, and Ontic and we extended our exclusive agreement with FTAI Aviation to provide used serviceable material (“USM”) on the CFM56 engine platform through 2030. In the government market, we were awarded two, multi-year contracts from the U.S. Navy to support their P-8A aircraft, advancing our support of commercial derivatives.

Over the long-term, we expect to see strength in our aviation products and services given our offerings of value-added solutions to both commercial and government and defense customers. We believe long-term commercial aftermarket growth trends are favorable. As we continue to invest in the pipeline of opportunities in the government market, our long-term strategy continues to emphasize investing in the business and capitalizing on opportunities in both the commercial and government markets.

Business Segments

Parts Supply

Our Parts Supply segment primarily consists of sales and leasing of USM and aftermarket distribution of new, original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) supplied replacement parts. The Parts Supply segment accounted for approximately 40% of our sales in fiscal 2025. We have established formal distribution relationships with OEM suppliers of aircraft components, which are utilized by aircraft operators and aircraft repair and maintenance operations. We are a leading independent distributor of factory new aircraft parts for the aftermarket. As we continue to enhance our digital solutions, we have developed the online PAARTSsm Store, which facilitates the electronic fulfillment of orders when customers choose this channel.

USM is an important category of the aviation aftermarket in which parts removed from engines or airframes can be refurbished to be utilized as replacement parts in the aftermarket. We utilize a network of third-party repair facilities to perform this work. USM parts often represent a cost-effective and more timely solution for operators when compared to sourcing new parts.

We take an active role in sourcing USM inventory by monitoring the market for opportunities to acquire used aircraft and engines. After acquisition, we manage the process of disassembly, repair and inspection of the various parts or discreet components that can be sold to customers. Our extensive network of industry relationships and presence in the market positions us with operators, lessors and other trading companies to source opportunities. Additionally, our global reach and long-standing customer relationships position us to meet market demand for these products.

We also distribute new OEM-supplied replacement parts to aircraft operators, airlines, government customers and other MRO companies across the world. Our parts are supplied to narrow-body, wide-body and regional aircraft. In most cases, we enter exclusive relationships with OEM manufacturers for a given market where we are the only provider of that supplier’s product category. We provide global scale, independence, and highly technical sales capabilities across both commercial and government end-markets.

We are an authorized distributor for more than 30 product lines, which include parts from over 300 Federal Supply Class codes sourced from over 20 leading OEMs. We also have an interest in a joint venture supporting the distribution of OEM parts to customers in Asia.

Our business activities in this segment are primarily conducted through AAR Supply Chain, Inc.; AAR Aircraft & Engine Sales & Leasing, Inc.; and AAR International, Inc.

Repair & Engineering

Our Repair & Engineering segment primarily provides airframe maintenance and component repair services. The Repair & Engineering segment accounted for approximately 32% of our sales in fiscal 2025.

Our airframe maintenance services are primarily comprised of major airframe inspection, MRO, painting services, line maintenance, airframe modifications, structural repairs, avionics service and installation, exterior and interior refurbishment and engineering services and support for many types of commercial and military aircraft. Component repair services are primarily comprised of MRO services for structural components, engine and airframe accessories, and interior refurbishment.

In fiscal 2025, we sold our LGO business to GA Telesis for net proceeds of $48 million subject to post-closing adjustments for working capital, cash, and debt. We recognized a loss on the divestiture of $71.1 million which included goodwill of $14.6 million.

Our Repair & Engineering segment also develops Parts Manufacturer Approval (“PMA”) parts for aftermarket applications. PMA is a designation under Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) regulations that permits the design of approved parts for specific aircraft components that can be provided by non-OEM sources at cost-efficient and sometimes improved availability. In addition, this segment also designs proprietary designated engineering representative (“DER”) repairs.

Our Repair & Engineering business primarily supports narrow-body Airbus, Boeing and Embraer regional aircraft for customers, as well as U.S. government defense agencies.

We operate six airframe maintenance facilities and six component repair facilities. Our U.S. airframe maintenance facilities are in Indianapolis, Indiana; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Miami, Florida; and Rockford, Illinois; and our Canadian airframe maintenance facilities are in Trois Rivières, Quebec and Windsor, Ontario. Our component repair facilities are in Hot Springs, Arkansas; Grand Prairie, Texas; Wellington, Kansas: Chonburi, Thailand; Garden City, New York; and Amsterdam, Netherlands. In conjunction with the integration of the recently acquired Product Support business, we are consolidating our facility footprint which includes closing our Garden City, New York facility. We expect to complete the transition of the facility’s operations to other component repair facilities in fiscal 2026.

We are currently expanding both our Miami and Oklahoma City airframe maintenance facilities to meet growing customer demand. In Miami, we are constructing a 114,000 square foot facility with three bays adjacent to our existing hangar. In Oklahoma City, we are constructing an 80,000 square foot facility with three bays and warehouse space adjacent to our existing hangar. Both facilities are expected to be complete and operational in the next 12-18 months with the Oklahoma City expansion slightly ahead of schedule, and the Miami expansion slightly behind due to some permitting delays.

In addition to our North American airframe maintenance facilities, we also had an interest in a joint venture that operated an airframe maintenance facility in India. During fiscal 2025, we exited the joint venture and recognized a gain of $2.1 million related to the sale of our interests.

Our business activities in this segment are primarily conducted through AAR Aircraft Services, Inc.; AAR Allen Services, Inc.; AAR International, Inc.; AAR Component Services (Thailand) Ltd.; AAR Component Services – Hot Springs, LLC; and AAR Component Services – Grand Prairie, Inc.

Integrated Solutions

Our Integrated Solutions segment primarily consists of our fleet management and operations of customer-owned aircraft, customized performance-based supply chain logistics programs in support of the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) and foreign governments, flight hour component inventory and repair programs for commercial airlines and integrated software solutions including Trax. The Integrated Solutions segment accounted for approximately 25% of our sales in fiscal 2025.

Fleet management and operations of customer-owned aircraft are performed for the U.S. Department of State (“DoS”) under the INL/A WASS contract. We are the prime contractor on this ten-year performance-based contract which began in fiscal 2018. Our services under the contract include operating and maintaining the global DoS fleet of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.

Supply chain logistics programs are primarily comprised of material planning, sourcing, logistics, information and program management and parts and component repair and overhaul. Flight hour component inventory and repair programs for commercial airlines are primarily comprised of outsourcing programs for airframe parts and components including warranty claim management in support of our airline customers’ maintenance activities.

Our integrated software solutions are primarily comprised of our Trax software, which we acquired in fiscal 2023. Trax has the first fully cloud-based electronic enterprise resource platform for the MRO industry and also offers a full suite of “paperless” mobility apps that are in process of automating MRO workflows with artificial intelligence. Through Trax, we are a leading provider of maintenance software for airlines, other aircraft operators and MROs. Through its eMRO and eMobility products, Trax provides comprehensive software solutions for aircraft maintenance designed to increase efficiency, improve asset utilization, streamline the information flow among interested parties during the maintenance process and create the required regulatory system of record required by airline and lessor customers.

Our business activities in this segment are primarily conducted through AAR Supply Chain, Inc.; AAR Government Services, Inc.; AAR Aircraft Services, Inc.; AAR International, Inc.; Trax USA CORP.; and AAR Airlift Group, Inc.

We design, manufacture, and repair transportation pallets and a wide variety of containers and shelters used in support of military and humanitarian tactical deployment activities. The containers and shelters are used in numerous mission requirements, including armories, supply and parts storage, refrigeration systems, tactical operation centers, briefing rooms, laundry and kitchen facilities, water treatment, and sleeping quarters. Shelters include both stationary and vehicle-mounted applications.We also provide engineering, design, and system integration services for specialized command and control systems.

Our business activities in this segment are primarily conducted through AAR Manufacturing, Inc. and Brown International Corporation.

Raw Materials and Procurement of Repair and Other Services

Although we generated approximately 60% of our fiscal 2025 sales from the sale of products, we are generally engaged in only limited manufacturing activities and have minimal exposure to fluctuations in both the availability and pricing of raw materials. We purchase raw materials for our Expeditionary Services manufacturing operations, including steel, aluminum, extrusions, balsa, and other necessary supplies from several vendors. Where necessary, we have been able to obtain raw materials and other inventory items from numerous sources at competitive prices, terms, and conditions, and we expect to be able to continue to do so.

Historically, we have not been significantly impacted by inflation. Increases in raw material costs, freight, or other costs have generally been offset through efficiencies or price increases. A portion of our contracts contain terms and conditions that enable us to pass inflationary price increases to our customers. In those cases whereby inflationary increases are not contractually stipulated, we attempt to actively negotiate price increases. We have consistently implemented actions to deliver efficiencies and cost savings. While the historical benefits of these efforts have generally offset the margin impact of competitive pricing conditions in the markets that we serve, there are no assurances that higher prices can effectively be passed through to our customers or that we will be able to fully offset the effects of higher costs through price increases on a timely basis.

To support our aviation activities, we acquire parts and components from domestic and foreign airlines, independent aviation service companies, aircraft leasing companies, and OEMs. We have ongoing arrangements with OEMs that provide us access to parts, repair manuals, and service bulletins in support of parts manufactured by them. Although the terms of each arrangement vary, they typically are made on standard OEM terms as to duration, price, and delivery. From time to time, we purchase airframes and engines for resale or disassembly into individual parts and components. Airframes and engines may also be leased to airlines by us or through joint ventures on a short-term basis prior to disassembly or sale.

Terms of Sale

We generally sell our products and services under standard 30-day payment terms. On occasion, certain customers will negotiate extended payment terms of 60-90 days. Except for customary warranty provisions, customers neither have the right to return products nor do they have the right to extended financing. Our government contracts may extend several years and include one or more base years and one or more option years. The government generally has the right not to exercise options to extend or expand our contracts and may otherwise terminate, cancel, or modify some contracts at its convenience.

The majority of our product sales are made pursuant to standard commercial purchase orders. Government sales are generally made under standard types of government contracts, which can include firm fixed-price contracts, cost plus fixed fee contracts, and time-and-materials contracts. For cost plus fixed fee contracts, we typically receive reimbursement of our costs, to the extent the costs are allowable under contractual and regulatory provisions, in addition to receiving a fixed fee. Some of our contracts call for the performance of specified services or the delivery of specified products under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“ID/IQ”) arrangements. Certain inventory supply and management and performance-based logistics program agreements reflect negotiated terms and conditions.

Customers

The principal customers for our products and services are domestic and foreign passenger airlines, domestic and foreign cargo airlines, regional and commuter airlines, business and general aviation operators, OEMs, aircraft leasing companies, aftermarket aviation support companies, the DoD and its contractors, the DoS, and foreign military organizations or governments.

Table of Contents

Sales of aviation products and services to our commercial airline customers are generally affected by such factors as the number, type and average age of aircraft in service, the levels of aircraft utilization (e.g., frequency of schedules, flying hours, and take-off and landing cycles), the number of airline operators, the general economy, and the level of sales of new and used aircraft. Sales to the DoD and other government agencies are subject to a number of factors, including the level of troop deployment worldwide, government funding, competitive bidding, and requirements generated by worldwide geopolitical events.

We primarily market and sell products and services through our own employees. In certain markets outside of the United States, we rely on foreign sales representatives to assist in the sale of our products and services.

Sales to Government and Defense Customers

Sales to global government and defense customers (including sales to branches, agencies, and departments of the U.S. government) were $804.3 million (28.9% of consolidated sales), $681.0 million (29.4% of consolidated sales), and $661.7 million (33.2% of consolidated sales) in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Sales to branches, agencies, and departments of the U.S. government and their contractors were $687.6 million (24.7% of consolidated sales), $576.1 million (24.8% of consolidated sales), and $577.0 million (29.0% of consolidated sales) in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Sales to government and defense customers are reported in each of our operating segments (See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Since such sales are subject to competitive bidding and government funding, no assurance can be given that such sales will continue at levels previously experienced. The majority of our U.S. government sales are for products and services supporting DoS flight operations and DoD logistics and mobility strategy. Thus, our government contracts have changed, and may continue to change, with fluctuations in defense and other governmental agency spending and requirements.

Our government contracts are also often subject to termination for convenience by the customer; in the event of such a termination, we are contractually entitled to recover all allowable costs incurred by us through the date of termination.

Government Regulation and Certificates

The FAA regulates the manufacture, repair, and operation of all aircraft and aircraft parts operated in the United States. Similar rules and regulatory authorities exist in other countries. The inspection, maintenance and repair procedures for the various types of aircraft and equipment are prescribed by these regulatory authorities and can be performed only by certified repair facilities utilizing certified technicians. The FAA requires that various maintenance routines be performed on aircraft engines, certain engine parts, and airframes at regular intervals based on takeoff and landing cycles or flight time. Our businesses, which sell defense products and services directly to the U.S. government or through its contractors, can be subject to various laws and regulations governing pricing and other factors.

We have twelve FAA certificated repair stations across the United States, Canada, Asia, and Europe. Of the twelve FAA certificated repair stations, ten are also European Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”) and three are also Transport Canada Civil Aviation (“TCCA”) certificated repair stations. Such certificates, which are ongoing in duration, are required for us to perform authorized maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for our customers and are subject to revocation by the government for non-compliance with applicable regulations. All of the certificated repair stations are within the Repair & Engineering segment. We believe that we currently possess all licenses and certifications that are material to the conduct of our business.

Competition

Competition in each of our markets is based on quality, ability to provide a broad range of products and services, speed of delivery, and price. Aviation competitors include OEMs, the service divisions of large commercial airlines, and other independent suppliers of parts, repair, and overhaul services to the commercial and defense markets. Our Expeditionary Services segment competes with a number of divisions of large corporations and other large and small companies. Although certain of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do, we believe that we have maintained a satisfactory competitive position through our responsiveness to customer needs, our attention to safety and quality, our unique portfolio of high-quality solutions with lower cost to the customer, combination of market expertise and deep technical knowledge, our long-standing customer relationships, and our integrated, connected business model.

Backlog

Backlog represents the amount of revenue that we expect to derive from unshipped orders or signed contracts. The backlog primarily relates to our long-term programs where we provide component inventory management, supply chain logistics programs, and/or repair services. Backlog includes our remaining performance obligations based on the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not yet been performed as of May 31, 2025 and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under contracts such as ID/IQ contracts.

At May 31, 2025, our firm backlog was $537.2 million, and we expect that approximately 75% of this backlog will be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2026, an additional 20% of the firm backlog in fiscal 2027, and the balance thereafter.

Human Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2025, we employed approximately 5,600 employees worldwide, with 4,200 employees in the United States and 1,400 employees outside of the United States. We also retained approximately 500 contract workers as of May 31, 2025, the majority of whom are located at our airframe maintenance facilities. We retain these contract workers as they provide unique skill sets which are necessary at certain facilities as well as mitigate the impact of demand variability with our customers.

Our employees provide the foundation for our ability to achieve our strategic objectives. They are instrumental in driving operational excellence and strong financial performance and maintaining a robust safety, quality and compliance program.

The success and growth of our business depends on our ability to attract, retain, and develop talented and high-performing employees at all levels of our organization. To achieve this objective, our goal is to be the place of choice for people to build an inspiring career. We care about the experience our employees have with us and the impact we collectively have in our community. We are excited that Sharon Purnell has joined AAR as our Chief HR Officer leading our people strategy globally, centered on a purposeful culture, proactive career development, and an inspiring employee experience. We believe this strategy is important because it helps us ensure workforce engagement, retention, and productivity, which enables strong business growth globally. We are proud to be recognized in 2025 as a Certified Great Place to Work, a Military Friendly Employer and one of Newsweek’s America’s Most Responsible Companies.

Commitment to Safety

Safety and wellbeing are central to AAR. Our commitment to safety starts at the top levels of our organization. Our Board of Directors includes an Aviation Safety and Training Committee that oversees safety and training matters as well as our culture of safety compliance.

We believe a safe and healthy workplace is fundamental to our success, and we are committed to complying with applicable safety and health laws, regulations, and internal requirements. We are also committed to engaging our employees to continually improve health and safety by acting upon opportunities to reduce risk and improve our safety and health performance. We maintain comprehensive safety programs focused on identifying hazards, reducing quality escapes and eliminating risks that can lead to severe injuries.

Our corporate Safety and Management System (“SMS”) program provides a single platform for all employees to proactively identify and report hazards, perform risk analysis, mitigate risks, and share best practices. This is complemented via companywide safety videos to encourage proactive reporting and recognize individual team members for focusing on safety and quality.

Competitive Pay and Benefits

We pay our employees competitively and reward our employees for achieving and exceeding objectives focused on creating long-term value for stockholders.

Providing comprehensive, competitive, and affordable benefits is important to our talent attraction and retention strategy. We offer health benefits that include various medical/pharmacy/dental plan options as well as a cost comparison tool to assist employees with their decisions. Health savings accounts for those in a high-deductible health plan and flexible spending accounts for both health care and dependent care are also available to employees. The retirement, investment, and tax savings/deferral opportunities offered to employees include competitive 401k benefits and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Table of Contents

Employees are eligible for paid and unpaid leaves, and we offer a variety of other benefits to meet the needs of employees, including an employee assistance program that provides a series of free counseling sessions, educational assistance and adoption assistance. Some AAR facilities also have fitness centers on site for employee use.

Inclusion and Engagement

As reflected in our values, we have a long-standing commitment to embracing a culture of inclusion. AAR’s statement on our Work as one. Be inclusive. Company value reads: Just as unique parts are essential to an aircraft’s ability to fly, unique talent is essential to AAR’s ability to succeed. Our strength is rooted in our commitment to inclusion. We create opportunities through new thoughts and ideas to embrace an ever-changing world. These values empower our people to be a team of producers, innovators, and world class leaders, who are Doing It Right® to better connect the world.

Talent Development

Our continued success depends on a workforce of skilled talent. Attracting people to join us and retaining that workforce requires collaboration across industry, education, and government to develop pathways for future talent. We are proud to lead the way. Our custom-built EAGLE Career Pathway program is helping AAR build the next generation labor force, hire from untapped talent pools, and enable smooth transition from military service. We are also proud to partner with Choose Aerospace, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to create a curriculum based on FAA General certification standards. Following a successful pilot program, the curriculum officially launched across six states in 2022 and has expanded to seventeen states and over 1,000 students in the 2024/2025 academic year. AAR developed the first aviation maintenance, Skillbridge, in partnership with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. In nine weeks, the program trains and places transitioning military service members and veterans into aviation maintenance technician careers industrywide. This program has expanded to seven military bases and since launching this program in 2019 over 700 service members have graduated. We have elevated our commitment to supporting the future generation of technicians by donating over $2.5 million in aged inventory to airframe and powerplant schools in February 2025.

Our summer internship program continues to be an instrumental part of how we attract talent. We have expanded our internships across business sectors and locations. Students have an opportunity to take part in a professional learning experience that offers meaningful, practical work related to their field of study. Throughout the 10-week program, each intern works closely with their assigned department to perform duties similar to those of a full-time employee and learn more about AAR and the aviation industry. Interns visit our MRO facilities, tour airports, participate in development opportunities, and work to improve the business through an assigned project. AAR interns have an opportunity to receive an offer of full-time employment.

At AAR, our global talent development model aligns with our desire to support a talented and high performing workforce throughout our organization. Annual talent reviews are conducted to provide meaningful and timely feedback and to identify career aspirations and opportunities to grow technical and leadership skills. The development of our talent and creation of Career Pathways is ongoing through Individual Development Plans, assessments, learning and development classes, compliance training, mentorship programs, and cohort style leadership development programs.

Business Ethics

Our Code of Conduct (“Code”) is a statement of the principles and standards that we expect our employees to follow. Each officer, director and employee is required to use good ethical judgement when conducting business and comply with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The Code describes appropriate behavior and guides ethical business decisions that maintain a commitment to integrity. Failure to comply with the Code and applicable laws can have severe consequences for both the Company and individuals involved, including disciplinary action, civil penalties, or criminal prosecution under certain circumstances.
