StandardAero Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results
Margin Expansion Leads To Double-digit Earnings Growth And Drives Guidance Increase
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona, August 6, 2026 (BUSINESS WIRE)-- StandardAero (NYSE: SARO) announced results today for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (“Second Quarter 2026”).
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
“StandardAero delivered strong second quarter results with continued operational momentum,” said Russell Ford, StandardAero’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Amid the higher fuel price environment, we continue to see robust demand across the commercial aerospace platforms we serve, which translated into 12.3% Adjusted EBITDA growth year-over-year. Strong operational execution and the elimination of passthrough revenues from our restructured contracts allowed us to achieve record Adjusted EBITDA Margins of 14.4% and reach profitability on our LEAP and our CFM56 DFW programs during the quarter. Furthermore, we achieved an inflow of $50.2 million in Free Cash Flow during the quarter, as our supply chain initiatives begin to be realized.”
“We continue to execute on our strategic priorities,” Mr. Ford continued. “During the quarter, we signed an agreement with a key OEM partner that significantly expands our relationship and provides improved economics across multiple platforms, strengthening our long-term positioning. We also closed the acquisition of Unified Turbines, further building out our Component Repair Services capabilities, and continued to execute on our share repurchase program. Given our strong first-half performance and continued clear visible demand signals, we are raising our full-year 2026 guidance for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted EPS, and remain confident in our ability to deliver another year of double-digit earnings growth.”
Second Quarter 2026 Consolidated Results
Revenue for the Second Quarter 2026 was $1,599.7 million, an increase of $70.8 million, or 4.6%, from $1,528.9 million for the prior year period. The increase was driven by continued strong demand in our commercial aerospace and business aviation businesses, partially offset by the previously announced elimination of low-to-no margin material pass-through revenue on restructured contracts and lower military sales at our Component Repairs Services segment. The Commercial Aerospace end market grew 5.7% compared to the prior year period, the Business Aviation end market grew 5.6% compared to the prior year period, and the Military and Helicopter end market decreased 2.6%, compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Second Quarter 2026 was $229.9 million, an increase of $25.2 million, or 12.3%, from $ 204.6 million for the prior year period. The increase reflects continued growth in volume and pricing, as well as productivity improvements. Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 14.4% increased 100 basis points compared to 13.4% in the prior year period, primarily due to productivity improvements and the previously mentioned elimination of material pass-through revenue.
