Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this Quarterly Report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables and charts may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them, and figures expressed as percentages in the text may not total 100% or, as applicable, when aggregated may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the percentages that precede them.

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report may be forward-looking statements. Statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, expected growth, future capital expenditures, and debt service obligations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We believe that these factors include, 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 U.S. 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; and other factors set forth under “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).
Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report and have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
StandardAero, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 5, 2018, in the state of Delaware and is an independent provider of aftermarket services for fixed and rotary wing aircraft gas turbine engines and auxiliary power units (“APUs”) to the commercial, business and military aircraft markets. The Company also provides aftermarket and upgrade services for business aviation and helicopter airframes and avionics, providing customers within those markets with comprehensive value-added solutions.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of StandardAero, Inc. (formerly Dynasty Parent Co., Inc.) and its subsidiaries.
Authorized Shares
On September 20, 2024, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized voting common stock from 5,000,000 to 3,500,000,000 and authorized non-voting common stock from 100,000 to 70,000,000. Accordingly, the authorized share amounts disclosed in the consolidated balance sheets have been adjusted to retroactively reflect this change.
Corporate Restructuring and Restructuring Transactions
In connection with and prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) of its shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), the Company effected certain restructuring transactions. These restructuring transactions consisted of (i) the 103-for-one forward stock split of the Company’s Common Stock effected on September 20, 2024, (ii) the distribution to former holders of Class A-1 Units and Class A-2 Units of Dynasty Parent Holdings, L.P. an aggregate of 275,053,375 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (of which 8,157 were restricted shares), and to holders of Class B Units of Dynasty Parent Holdings, L.P. an aggregate of 6,158,255 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (of which 6,028,394 were restricted shares) and (iii) the liquidation and dissolution of Dynasty Parent Holdings, L.P. (collectively, the “Restructuring Transactions”). Immediately following these Restructuring Transactions, 281,211,630 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
Initial Public Offering
On October 2, 2024, the Company completed the IPO at a price to the public of $24.00 per share. The offering included 69,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which, the Company issued and sold 53,250,000 shares and the selling stockholders sold 15,750,000 shares, including 9,000,000 shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares from the selling stockholders. The shares of Common Stock sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 1, 2024. The IPO generated net proceeds from the primary issuance of shares of $1,202.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $67.1 million and estimated offering expenses of $8.1 million.
March Secondary Offering
In March 2025, two of the Company’s stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”), affiliates of The Carlyle Group Inc. (“Carlyle”) and GIC Private Limited (“GIC”), completed a public offering of an aggregate of 36,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price to the public of $28.00 per share. The Selling Stockholders received all of the net proceeds from this offering. No shares were sold by the Company.
May Secondary Offering
In May 2025, the Selling Stockholders completed a public offering of an aggregate of 34,500,000 shares of Common Stock (including the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 shares) at a price to the public of $28.00 per share. The Selling Stockholders received all of the net proceeds from this offering. No shares were sold by the Company. As of June 30, 2025 Carlyle and GIC own approximately 45.6% and 10.3% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, respectively.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” which requires additional disclosures of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the Statement of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. For public companies the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and for all other entities the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.
Other new pronouncements issued, but not effective until after June 30, 2025, are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing or reimbursable costs related to a specific contract. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in the Company’s contracts. The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

Contract assets

Less: allowance for credit loss
(519
(740
Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing difference between the Company’s performance of services and payments from customers. The Company recognized revenue that was included in the beginning of period contract liability balance of approximately $407.3 million and $400.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $251.0 million and $355.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Remaining performance obligations
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $366.8 million of remaining performance obligations, which primarily relate to the Company’s engine utilization contracts that are satisfied over multiple years. Of this amount, the Company expects approximately 30% to be satisfied over the next two years and the remainder thereafter. The expected timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations is dependent on the timing of the customer’s maintenance requirements and as such, the timing of the revenue recognition is subject to estimation uncertainty. The Company excludes from its remaining performance obligation balance the value of remaining performance obligations for its fixed price and time & material contracts, as the performance obligations for these contracts generally have an original expected duration of one year or less.
NOTE 4: EARNINGS PER SHARE
As a result of the 103-for-one stock split and the Restructuring Transactions, the 281,211,630 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held were distributed to former holders of Class A-1 Units and Class A-2 Units of Dynasty Parent Holdings, L.P. in an aggregate of 275,053,375 shares of Common Stock (of which 8,157 were restricted shares), and also to holders of Class B Units of Dynasty Parent Holdings, L.P. in an aggregate of 6,158,255 shares of Common Stock (of which 6,028,394 were restricted shares). For purposes of the computation of earnings (loss) per share this distribution represented a net 100.79-for-one stock split of the Company’s Common Stock which is retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.

NOTE 5: ACQUISITIONS
Aero Turbine, Inc.
On August 23, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Aero Turbine, Inc. (“Aero Turbine”) for a purchase price of approximately $130.7 million subject to post-closing adjustments, comprised of an initial cash purchase price of $116.8 million and $15.2 million representing the estimated fair value of additional consideration contingently payable based upon the achievement of gross profit in excess of certain gross profit targets for the period from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received an additional cash payment of $1.3 million related to a post-closing purchase price adjustment related to working capital. The Company recorded this measurement period adjustment as a $1.3 million decrease to goodwill, resulting in a corresponding $1.3 million decrease of the initial purchase price of $132.0 million. The maximum contingent consideration payable from the Company to the seller is $21.0 million. The current portion of the contingent consideration liability is recorded in Accrued and other current liabilities and the non-current portion is recorded in Other non-current liabilities. Aero Turbine is a provider of engine component repair, overhaul services and other engineering services for U.S. and foreign military customers.
The results of operations of Aero Turbine have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from August 23, 2024, the closing date of the acquisition. Aero Turbine is reported within the Component Repair Services segment.
The Company has provisionally allocated the purchase price based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Aero Turbine acquisition date as follows:

The fair values presented were estimated by management. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments related to estimate refinement of a $0.8 million decrease in accrued and other current liabilities, resulting in a corresponding decrease in goodwill. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments related to post-closing working capital adjustment of a $1.3 million decrease in purchase price and estimate refinement of a $0.4 million increase in deferred income tax liabilities, resulting in a $0.9 million decrease in goodwill. The fair value of the assets acquired includes accounts receivable of $4.1 million, of which all is expected to be collectible. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired of $126.8 million has been allocated as $75.0 million of customer relationships and $51.8 million of goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable to Aero Turbine’s workforce, market position, quality, customized repairs and reliable turnaround times. Goodwill will not be amortized but will be reviewed annually for impairment.
14
None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Customer relationships are expected to be amortized over 15 years. The consideration paid and final valuation and related allocation of the purchase price is subject to change as additional information is received and will be completed no later than 12 months after the closing date.
Acquisition related costs of $1.4 million were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2024. These costs are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Acquisition costs”. Such expenses include professional fees and other third-party costs.

On October 31, 2024, the Company entered into the New Credit Agreement providing for the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities due October 31, 2031, in an aggregate principal amount of $2,250.0 million, and the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility due October 31, 2029, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750.0 million. Concurrent with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company used the proceeds of the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities and approximately $95.0 million of the proceeds of the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility to repay in full amounts outstanding under (i) the Prior Credit Agreement and (ii) the Prior ABL Credit Agreement, terminating each of the debt facilities thereunder. The Company expensed $23.7 million related to new third party fees that did not meet the criteria for deferral as refinancing costs on the Consolidated Income Statement during the year ended December 31, 2024, of which $5.7 million related to the New Credit Agreement, $11.6 million related to the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities, $1.5 million related to the September 6, 2024 amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement and $4.9 million related to the March 25, 2024 Prior Credit Agreement.
The New Credit Agreement provided for (i) a senior secured dollar term loan B facility, incurred by the U.S. Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $1,630.0 million (the “New 2024 Term Loan B-1 Facility”), (ii) a senior secured dollar term loan B facility incurred by the Canadian Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $620.0 million (the “New 2024 Term Loan B-2 Facility” and, together with the New 2024 Term Loan B-1 Facility, the “New 2024 Term Loan Facilities”). The New 2024 Term Loan Facilities were fully drawn on October 31, 2024, in an aggregate principal amount of $2,250.0 million, bearing interest at a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) + 2.25% with provision for a rate step-down to 2.00% based on achieving a consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of less than 3.00x, and will mature on October 31, 2031. The Company incurred new third party fees of $13.2 million related to the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities of which $11.6 million were expensed as refinancing costs on the Consolidated Income Statement during the year ended December 31, 2024, and $1.6 million of deferred finance charges were recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the credit facility. As of June 30, 2025, the effective interest rate on the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities was SOFR + 2.00%.
The New Credit Agreement provided for a senior secured multicurrency revolving credit facility available to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750.0 million (of which up to $150.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit) (the “New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities, the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).

Prior Credit Agreement
On October 31, 2024, concurrent with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company used the proceeds of the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities and the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility to repay in full amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement terminating each of the debt facilities thereunder, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.7 million recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024, $0.7 million related to the March 25, 2024 amendment of the Prior Credit Agreement, $3.6 million upon the commencement of the New Credit Agreement on October 31, 2024 representing the write off unamortized discounts and deferred financing charges related to the extinguished portions of the Prior Term Loan facilities and $0.4 million related to the extinguishment of the Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.
Prior 2023 and Prior 2024 Term Loan Facilities
On August 24, 2023, the Company amended the Prior Credit Agreement to combine the 2019 Term Loan Facilities and the 2021 Term Loan Facility into the Prior 2023 Term Loan Facilities in the amount of $2,575.0 million less a 1.0% discount. The Prior 2023 Term Loan Facilities were comprised of two tranches, referred to as the Prior 2023 Term Loan B-1 Facility and the Prior Term Loan B-2 Facility, with identical terms that were entered into by subsidiaries of the Company. The Prior 2023 Term Loan Facilities incurred interest at the Term SOFR Rate plus 3.75% to 4.00% or the Base Prime Rate plus 2.75% to 3.00% and were scheduled to mature on August 24, 2028. As a result of the amendment, both a debt modification and a debt extinguishment arose. The Company recognized $0.8 million in deferred charges related to the Prior 2023 Term Loan Facilities which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $6.2 million, representing the write-off of the unamortized deferred finance charges and original issue discount related to the extinguished portion of the 2019 Term Loan Facilities and 2021 Term Loan Facility, while $22.8 million of the unamortized deferred finance charges and original issue discount relating to the modified debt continued to be deferred. In addition, $19.9 million in third party fees related to the modified portion of the 2019 Term Loan Facilities were expensed as refinancing costs on the Consolidated Income Statement during the year ended December 31, 2023, as these costs did not meet the criteria for deferral.
On March 25, 2024, the Company amended its Prior Credit Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2019 (as amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Dynasty Acquisition Co., Inc. as the U.S. borrower (the “U.S. Borrower”), Standard Aero Limited, as the Canadian borrower (the “Canadian Borrower”), Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain other parties thereto, to refinance the $2,562.1 million existing senior secured term loans then-outstanding thereunder (the “Prior 2023 Term Loans”) and provide the Company with an incremental $200.0 million as additional term loans (together with the refinanced 2023 Term Loans, the “Prior 2024 Term Loans” and the facilities in respect thereof, the “Prior 2024 Term Loan Facilities”). In addition, the amendment reduced the applicable interest rate to the Term SOFR Rate plus 3.25% to 3.50% or the Base Prime Rate plus 2.25% to 2.50%. All other terms of the Credit Agreement remained unchanged. The incremental proceeds from the Prior 2024 Term Loans were used toward the partial redemption of the Prior Senior Notes. As a result of the amendment, the Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, representing the write-off of the unamortized deferred finance charges related to the extinguished portion of the Prior 2023 Term Loans. In addition, $4.9 million in third party fees related to the modified portion of the Term Loans were expensed as refinancing costs on the Consolidated Income Statement during the year ended December 31, 2024, as these costs did not meet the criteria for deferral. The Company recognized $0.1 million in deferred charges which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The original issue discount and deferred charges were amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method.
On September 6, 2024, the Company amended the Prior Credit Agreement to incur additional 2024 Term Loans in a principal amount of $200.0 million which were, in part, used to paydown a portion of the advances under the Company’s Prior ABL Credit Facility used to fund the acquisition of Aero Turbine. There were no other substantive changes made to the Prior Credit Agreement. As a result of the amendment, $1.5 million in third party fees related to the modified portion of the Term Loans were expensed as refinancing costs on the Consolidated Income Statement during the year ended December 31, 2024, as these costs did not meet the criteria for deferral. The original issue discount and deferred charges were amortized over the term of the Prior Credit Agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method.
On October 31, 2024 concurrent with the New Credit Agreement, the Company recognized a $3.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt representing the write off unamortized discounts and deferred financing charges related to the extinguished portions of the Prior Term Loan facilities
Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility
The Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility was a senior secured multicurrency cash flow revolving credit facility available under the Prior Credit Agreement, with a capacity of $150.0 million (of which up to $75.0 million was available for the issuance of letters of
17
credit) and was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2028. The Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR rate plus 3.125% to 3.50%. The applicable rates on borrowing under the credit agreement were based on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility was subject to a maximum Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio that was tested at the end of any fiscal quarter if the total revolving credit loans outstanding under the Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility on such date exceed 35.0% of the aggregate amount of all commitments in respect of the Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.
On October 31, 2024, concurrent with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company terminated the Prior 2023 Revolving Credit Facility which had no outstanding loans under it, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024.
Prior ABL Credit Facility
On October 31, 2024, concurrent with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company used the proceeds of the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities and the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility to repay in full amounts outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement, terminating the debt facility thereunder. The extinguishment of the Prior ABL Credit Facility resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Prior ABL Credit Facility had a capacity of $400.0 million, was repayable in U.S. dollars and was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2028. At the Company’s discretion, the borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bore interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR rate plus 1.50% to 2.00%, Prime Lending Rate plus 0.50% to 1.00%, or the Base Rate on Canadian borrowings plus 0.50% to 1.00%, with the spread dependent on the amount of the borrowing and was subject to certain financial covenants. The ABL Credit Facility had an annual commitment fee of 0.250% to 0.375% based on excess availability. The ABL Credit Facility contained financial covenants which were required to be calculated immediately prior to or during the continuance of a trigger period. The trigger period was a period where borrowing availability was less than the greater of 10% of the line cap and $30.0 million.
Prior Senior Notes
The Prior Senior Notes bore an interest rate of 10.0% and were scheduled to mature on April 4, 2027. On March 25, 2024, the Company partially redeemed $200.0 million of the Prior Senior Notes. As a result of the redemption, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, representing the write-off of the unamortized deferred finance charges related to the redeemed portion of the Prior Senior Notes. On October 3, 2024, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to repay the full outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Prior Senior Notes, totaling $487.5 million. The extinguishment of the Prior Senior Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.7 million recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company’s weighted average interest rate of borrowings under its senior credit agreements was 6.3% and 6.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 9.0% and 9.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Certain of these agreements contain non-financial covenants that limit both the Company’s ability to raise additional financings in the future and the Company’s ability to pay dividends subject to select amounts and incurrence ratios.

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES
The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 26.1%. The difference between this and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily due to non-deductible expenses, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), which was enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and state and foreign tax rates.
The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 81.5%. The difference between this and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily due to the mix of earnings between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, as well as the Company increasing its valuation allowance in connection with the deferred tax asset related to the interest limitation under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code. Other factors impacting the rate include non-deductible expenses, and GILTI, which was enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
The Company did not record any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits or total interest and penalties for tax years remaining open to examination during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Currently, there are not any ongoing audits or examinations with any tax jurisdictions.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) released Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion model rules (“Pillar Two Rules”), designed to ensure large corporations are taxed at a minimum rate of 15.0% in all countries of operation. On June 20, 2024, as part of Bill C-69, Canada enacted its Pillar Two legislation effective January 1, 2024. Canada Bill C-59 was also enacted on June 20, 2024 and included the excessive interest and financing expenses limitation (“EIFEL”) regime effective for tax years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. The Company has performed a quantitative and qualitative assessment and determined the effects are not materially significant to the Company’s financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
20
respectively. StandardAero will continue to evaluate the Pillar Two Rules and EIFEL for their potential impact on future periods as further legislation is proposed or enacted.
On July 4, 2025 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), which includes a broad range of U.S. tax reform provisions, was signed into law by the President of the United States. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as (i) the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (ii) modifications to the international tax framework, and (iii) the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
The Company has future contractual commitments of $22.9 million as of June 30, 2025, and had $30.6 million as of December 31, 2024, for capital commitments.
Contingent liabilities
The Company is involved, from time to time, in legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although predicting the outcome of legal actions and claims is difficult, based on current knowledge and consultation with legal counsel, the Company does not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
From time to time, the Company enters into contracts that contain liquidated damage provisions, which provide for the payment of damages to the Company’s customers in the event of non-compliance with certain contractually-specified terms and conditions. The Company evaluates its exposure to these provisions on a contract-by-contract basis, and records provisions for such contractual provisions when it has been determined that a loss is probable and estimable. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the provision is nominal.
The Company has facilities that are located on land that has been used for industrial purposes for an extended period of time. The Company has not been named as a defendant in any environmental suit. Management believes that the Company is currently in substantial compliance with environmental laws. The Company incurs capital and operating costs relating to environmental compliance on an ongoing basis. The Company does not believe it will be required under existing environmental laws to expend amounts that would have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations as a whole.
NOTE 12: GUARANTEES
The Company issues letters of credit, performance bonds, bid bonds or guarantees in the ordinary course of business. These instruments are generally issued in conjunction with contracts or other business requirements. The total of these instruments outstanding was approximately $26.6 million and $20.6 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
NOTE 13: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the Acquisition, on April 4, 2019, Dynasty Acquisition entered into a consulting services agreement (the “Carlyle Services Agreement”) with Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (“CIM”), pursuant to which Dynasty Acquisition paid CIM a one-time fee of approximately $24.5 million for strategic advisory and consulting services provided to Dynasty Acquisition in connection with the Acquisition. Pursuant to the Carlyle Services Agreement, and subject to certain conditions, Dynasty Acquisition also pays to CIM an annual fee of approximately $2.4 million, payable in quarterly installments in advance, for the advisory, consulting and other services provided by CIM pursuant to the Carlyle Services Agreement. Dynasty Acquisition also reimburses CIM’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with services provided pursuant to the Carlyle Services Agreement, and Dynasty Acquisition may pay CIM additional fees associated with other future transactions or in consideration of any additional services provided under the Carlyle Services Agreement. In connection with the IPO, the Carlyle Services Agreement was amended and restated, and will continue in full force and effect until the earlier of the second anniversary of the consummation of the IPO, which is October 3, 2026, and the date on which CIM and its affiliates collectively and beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 10% of the Company’s outstanding voting common stock. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid CIM approximately $0.6 million pursuant to the Carlyle Services Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid CIM approximately $1.2 million.

In connection with the Acquisition, on April 4, 2019, Dynasty Acquisition entered into a consulting service agreement (the “Beamer Services Agreement”) with Beamer Investment Inc., an affiliate of GIC, pursuant to which Dynasty Acquisition paid Beamer Investment Inc. a one-time fee of approximately $5.5 million for strategic advisory and consulting, services provided to Dynasty Acquisition in connection with the Acquisition. Pursuant to the Beamer Services Agreement, and subject to certain conditions, Dynasty Acquisition also pays to Beamer Investment Inc. an annual fee of approximately $0.6 million, payable in quarterly installments in advance, for the advisory, consulting and other services provided by Beamer Investment Inc. pursuant to the Beamer Services Agreement. Dynasty Acquisition also reimburses Beamer Investment Inc.’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with services provided pursuant to the Beamer Services Agreement, and Dynasty Acquisition may pay Beamer Investment Inc. additional fees associated with other future transactions or in consideration of any additional services provided under the Beamer Services Agreement. In connection with the IPO, the Beamer Services Agreement was amended and restated, and will continue in full force and effect until the earlier of the second anniversary of the consummation of the IPO and the date on which Beamer Investment Inc. and its affiliates collectively and beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 50% of the Company’s outstanding voting common stock that they owned on the date of the closing of the IPO, prior to giving effect to the sale of shares by Beamer Investment Inc. or an affiliate of Beamer Investment Inc. in the IPO. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid Beamer Investment Inc. approximately $0.1 million pursuant to the Beamer Services Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid Beamer Investment Inc. approximately $0.3 million.
The Company expensed $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, for advisory and consulting services as outlined above. The Company expensed $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as well as an additional $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 for arrangement fees paid in connection with the amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement.
CFGI, a portfolio company of a fund affiliated with Carlyle, provides the Company with accounting advisory and consulting services. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid $0.4 million, to CFGI for accounting advisory and consulting services. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company expensed $0.7 million and paid $0.6 million, to CFGI for accounting advisory and consulting services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company expensed $2.1 million and $2.3 million and paid $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to CFGI for accounting advisory and consulting services.
NOTE 14: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Defined contribution pension plans
The Company has several defined contribution plans covering substantially all of its employees. Costs for the defined contribution plans were $7.9 million and $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Costs for the defined contribution plans were $13.1 million and $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Defined benefit pension plans
The Company maintains defined benefit plans for certain employees in the United Kingdom and France.
In the United Kingdom, the Company maintains two defined benefit schemes which provide both pensions in retirement and death benefits to members. Pension benefits are related to the member’s final salary at retirement (or their career average revalued salary) and their length of service. The main scheme is the Vector Aerospace International Limited Pension Scheme (the “Scheme”). The other defined benefit scheme is the Vector Aerospace 1998 Pension Plan (the “Plan”). The Scheme and Plan are generally closed for new members, who participate in a separate defined contribution plan.
In France, the defined benefit plan is a government-mandated defined obligation that provides employees with retirement indemnities in the form of lump sums on the basis of the length of service and employee compensation levels. The plan is unfunded and benefits are paid when amounts become due, commencing when participants retire. Actuarial gains and losses of the year for long service awards are immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Costs for the defined benefit plans were $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Costs for the defined benefit plans were $0.2 and $0.3 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 15: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Following its IPO, the Company has made awards under its 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the "2024 Plan"), which have generally consisted of nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Additionally, certain employees and directors have received restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), which were made in respect of pre-IPO equity awards originally granted to them under the Dynasty Parent Holdings, L.P. and Dynasty Parent Co., Inc. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
Stock Options
Stock options granted under the 2024 Plan generally vest in three equal annual installments, subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company, and expire ten years from the date of grant. The Company uses a Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the grant-date fair value of the stock options awarded. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires assumptions regarding the expected volatility of the Company’s shares of Common Stock, the risk-free interest rate, the expected term of the stock option award and the Company’s dividend yield.
Term. The Company began being publicly traded on October 2, 2024, and as such does not have sufficient historical data to estimate the expected term of the stock option awards. In the absence of sufficient historical data, where the options are considered “plain vanilla,” the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”) provides guidance for a simplified method of estimating the expected term until more empirical data becomes available. This method calculates the expected term as the average of the weighted vesting term and the contractual term of the options. As such, the Company utilized the SEC's simplified method to calculate the expected term for the options which resulted in a term of 6.0 years.
Expected Dividends. The Company does not pay dividends and is not expected to pay dividends in the near term. As such, the Company elected to use a dividend yield of 0%.
Risk-Free Rate. The Company used the U.S. Treasury Securities yield corresponding to the expected term, of 4.07%.
Expected Volatility. The Company began being publicly traded on October 2, 2024, followed by additional secondary offerings in March 2025 and May 2025, thus the Company has limited trading data to calculate meaningful volatility. As such, the Company relied solely on peer group volatility, calculated at 40.0%.

The Company will continue to recognize stock compensation expense ratably over the requisite remaining service period for the awards. As of June 30, 2025, there was $38.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs.
NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy are determined as follows:
Level 1 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 -
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable and accounts payable, the fair value approximates the carrying value due to the short maturity periods of these financial instruments. For long-term borrowings, the fair value is measured using Level 2 market values.
The interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and foreign exchange contracts are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value measurement is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the inputs to the derivative pricing model are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity. The fair value of the interest rate agreements is estimated using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs.
Valuation of Contingent Consideration Liability
The fair value of earnout consideration was estimated based on applying a Monte Carlo simulation method to forecast achievement of the gross profit targets. This method involves many possible value outcomes which are evaluated to establish an estimated value. Key inputs in the valuation include volatility and discount rates. Due to the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuations, these liabilities are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
24
The Company determined the initial value for the contingent consideration liability of $15.2 million using the Level 3 inputs as of the issuance date on August 23, 2024. No changes in fair value of contingent consideration liability were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2025, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as the initial fair value approximates the fair value as of June 30, 2025.
The following table represents the significant inputs used in calculating the fair value of the contingent consideration liability on the issuance date and as of June 30, 2025:

NOTE 17: DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
The Company is exposed to, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchanges rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s objective in risk management is to utilize interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest expense and manage its exposure to interest rate movements and utilize foreign exchange rate derivatives to add stability to foreign exchange expense and manage its exposure to exchange rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses (i) interest-rate swaps and interest-rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy and (ii) foreign currency forward contracts to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent on forecasted transactions.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes.
Interest-rate swap and interest-rate cap agreements
Interest-rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest-rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve payment of a fixed premium to a counterparty in exchange for the company receiving a SOFR cap over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with its long-term debt agreements.
The tables below summarize the key terms of the interest-rate swap and interest-rate cap agreements:

Net derivatives as classified in the consolidated balance sheets
For the interest-rate swaps, differences between the hedged interest rate and the fixed rate are recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the related interest is recorded for the Company’s long-term debt agreements.
For the interest-rate caps, monthly premiums and differences received between the hedged interest rate and the interest rate cap are recorded to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the related interest is recorded for the Company’s long-term debt agreements.
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts
The Company has operations in Canada, as well as other countries outside of North America, and consequently the Consolidated Balance Sheets can be affected by movements in exchange rates for limited balances denominated in foreign currency. Currency exposures can also arise from certain revenue and purchase transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily payroll costs which are in local currencies.
The Company enters into short-term foreign exchange contracts throughout the year designated as a cash flow hedge to manage the exposure to changes in the exchange rate on its Canadian and United Kingdom payroll costs, requiring the Company to buy a notional amount of Canadian dollars and British Pounds Sterling. The contracts require the Company to buy a notional amount of the foreign currency at a set rate weekly from a reference date to maturity date, or until a maximum value is reached.
On April 7, 2025, the Company entered into a foreign currency contract at a notional value of GBP 39.5 million and CAD 136.5 million maturing on December 31, 2025. Previously, the Company had one foreign currency contract that was entered on April 12, 2024 at a notional value of GBP 17.5 million and matured on December 31, 2024.

NOTE 19: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s chief operating decision making officer (“CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Consistent with how the Company evaluates its performance and the way the Company is organized internally; the Company reports its activities in two segments: Engine Services and Component Repair Services. The CODM regularly uses the below financial measures to allocate financial and human resources to individual segments and evaluate segment performance. The CODM also uses these measures in the annual budget and quarterly forecasting processes. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments.
The Company’s CODM is regularly provided and evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments based on segment Revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes segment Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of operational performance and ongoing profitability and is used to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s segments and for planning and forecasting purposes, including the allocation of resources and capital.
The Company defines Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization directly attributable to each operating segment and adjusted for certain non-cash items that the Company may record each period, as well as non-recurring items such as acquisition costs, integration and severance costs, refinance fees, business
28
transformation costs and other discrete expenses, when applicable. Expense information is provided to and reviewed by the CODM on a consolidated basis to evaluate cost efficiency and company level performance.
The Company’s Engine Services segment provides a full suite of aftermarket services, including maintenance, repair and overhaul, on-wing and field service support, asset management, and engineering and related solutions to customers in the commercial aerospace, military & helicopter, and business aviation end markets. Revenue in the Engine Services segment is primarily derived from the repair and overhaul of a wide variety of gas turbine engines and auxiliary power units that power fixed and rotary wing aircraft. The Company also provides complementary maintenance, repair, upgrade and other related services for airframes and avionics systems in the business aviation and helicopter end markets. Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of materials, direct labor and overhead.The Company’s Component Repair Services segment provides engine component and accessory repairs to the Commercial Aerospace, Military & Helicopter, and Other, including land and marine, and oil and gas end markets. Revenue in the Component Repair Services segment is derived from the engine piece part and accessory repairs that the Company performs, repair development engineering and other related services, and some engine new part manufacturing. Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of materials, direct labor and overhead.
The Company’s segment disclosure includes intersegment revenues, which primarily consist of subcontract services between segments. The revenue and corresponding cost of revenue are eliminated on consolidation. The elimination of such intersegment transactions is included within intersegment revenue in the table below. The revenue is eliminated with the segment receiving the subcontract services. The segment providing services retains revenue while the segment receiving the services records the elimination.
The Company does not report total assets by segment for internal or external reporting purposes as the Company’s CODM does not assess performance, make strategic decisions or allocate resources based on assets.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).

Some of the information included in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties you should review about our business. Our future results and financial condition may differ materially from those we currently anticipate. You should review the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Quarterly Report and the “Risk Factors” section of our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. For purposes of this section, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to StandardAero, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Overview
We believe that we are the world’s largest independent, pure-play provider of aerospace engine aftermarket services for fixed and rotary wing aircraft, serving the commercial, military and business aviation end markets. We provide a comprehensive suite of critical, value-added aftermarket solutions, including scheduled and unscheduled engine maintenance, repair and overhaul, engine component repair, on-wing and field service support, asset management and engineering solutions. We serve a crucial role in the engine aftermarket value chain, connecting engine OEMs with aircraft operators through our aftermarket services, maintaining longstanding relationships with both. We command a leading reputation that is based upon our strong track record of safety, reliability and operational performance built over our more than 100 years of successful operations in the aerospace aftermarket.
Operating Segments
We manage our business in line with our service offerings with two reportable segments: Engine Services and Component Repair Services.
Our Engine Services segment provides a full suite of aftermarket services, including maintenance, repair and overhaul, on-wing and field service support, asset management, and engineering and related solutions to customers in the commercial aerospace, military and helicopter, and business aviation end markets. Revenue in the Engine Services segment is primarily derived from the repair and overhaul of a wide variety of gas turbine engines and auxiliary power units that power fixed and rotary wing aircraft. We also provide complementary maintenance, repair, upgrade and other related services for airframes and avionics systems in the business aviation and helicopter end markets. Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of materials, direct labor and overhead.
Our Component Repair Services segment provides engine component and accessory repairs to commercial aerospace, military and other end markets. Revenue in the Component Repair Services segment is derived from the engine piece part and accessory repairs that we perform, repair development engineering and other related services, and some engine new part manufacturing. Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of materials, direct labor and overhead.
Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Business
Manufacturer specifications, government regulations and military maintenance regimens generally require that aircraft and engines undergo aftermarket servicing at regular intervals or upon the occurrence of certain events during the serviceable life of each asset. As a result, the aggregate volume of services required for any particular engine platform is a function of four factors: (i) the number of aircraft and engines in operation (the “installed base”), (ii) the age of the installed base, (iii) the reliability of the installed based and (iv) the utilization rate of the installed base.
The number of aircraft in operation and the utilization of those aircraft are generally tied to global air travel over the long-term, which has historically grown in excess of gross domestic product driven by secular tailwinds such as globalization, rising middle class population and wealth, increasing demand for leisure travel, growth in corporate earnings and e-commerce and technological advancements in aviation. The age and utilization of the existing installed base have increased as supply chain issues and regulatory constraints delay the delivery of new aircraft. Engine aftermarket services demand is also expected to further increase through the remainder of the decade due to upcoming shop visits resulting from a large number of engines delivered in the 2010s continuing to age and entering prime maintenance periods. In the military and helicopter end market, ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to drive significant defense investment. In the business aviation end market, this strong fleet growth is expected to drive a continued increase in demand for business jet engine maintenance services.
While the recent supply chain disruptions across our end markets are causing older aircraft and engines to remain in service longer and increasing their maintenance demand, our business also depends on maintaining a sufficient supply of parts, components and raw materials to meet the requirements of our customers. In recent years, we have experienced supply chain delays that impacted the availability of parts and ultimately engine throughput across all of our end markets. Any disruption to our supply chain and business operations, or to our suppliers’ supply chains and business operations, could have adverse effects on our ability to provide aftermarket support to our customers timely and efficiently and may increase our working capital as we wait for parts for the engines we service. Any such disruptions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We depend on certain component parts and material suppliers for our engine repair and overhaul operations, and any supply chain disruptions or loss of key suppliers could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition” in our 2024 Form 10-K. In addition, the Company continues to closely monitor the implementation of tariffs, which has the potential to disrupt global trade and existing supply chains and impose additional costs on our business. While negotiations regarding tariffs are ongoing, if the resulting environment of retaliatory tariffs or other practices of additional trade restrictions or barriers require us to increase prices for our products or services, this could lead to decreased demand for our products and services, which would negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. While tariff levels and related trade actions remain fluid, we expect to pass associated cost increases through to customers where possible, though timing delays may impact margins. However, factors such as the Company’s operations and supply chains, which are primarily located in regions where our products are sold, along with the applicability of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, help reduce our exposure to trade disruptions, but there can be no assurance that these factors, or our pricing actions, will be effective mitigants given the uncertain environment. See “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—United States trade policies that restrict imports or increase import tariffs may have a material adverse effect on our business” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Key Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations
Our results have been affected by, and may in the future be affected by, the following factors, which must be understood in order to assess the comparability of our period-to-period financial performance and condition.
Recent Developments
On October 2, 2024, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of ordinary shares at a price to the public of $24.00 per share (“Common Stock”). The offering included 69,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which, the Company issued and sold 53,250,000 shares and the selling stockholders sold 15,750,000 shares, including 9,000,000 shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares from the selling stockholders. The shares of Common Stock sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 1, 2024. The IPO generated net proceeds from the primary issuance of shares of $1,202.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $67.1 million and estimated offering expenses of $8.1 million.
In May 2025, the Selling Stockholders completed a public offering of an aggregate of 34,500,000 shares of Common Stock (including full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 shares) at a price to the public of $28.00 per share. The Selling Stockholders received all of the net proceeds from this offering. No shares were sold by the Company. As of June 30, 2025, Carlyle and GIC own approximately 45.6% and 10.3% of our outstanding Common Stock, respectively.
Business Combinations
To continue to grow our business, we are continually acquiring and investing in companies that share our common goal of providing the market with aftermarket services across multiple engine platforms.
34
On August 23, 2024, we acquired Aero Turbine, Inc. (“Aero Turbine”), a provider of engine component repair and other value-added engine aftermarket services for U.S. and international customers for an estimated purchase price of approximately $132.0 million, comprising an initial cash purchase price of $116.8 million and $15.2 million representing the estimated fair value of additional consideration contingently payable based upon the achievement of gross profit in excess of certain gross profit targets for the period from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026, subject to post-closing adjustments. The maximum contingent consideration payable from the Company to the seller is $21.0 million. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, which was repaid on September 6, 2024 with incremental borrowings from the Prior 2024 Term Loan B-1 Facility and the Prior 2024 Term Loan B-2 Facility.
Public Company Expenses
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, certain non-recurring professional fees and other expenses as part of our transition to a public company. As a public company, we are implementing additional procedures and processes for the purpose of addressing the standards and requirements applicable to public companies, for which we expect to incur additional recurring expenses. In particular, our accounting, legal and personnel-related expenses and directors’ and officers’ insurance costs have increased as we establish more comprehensive compliance and governance functions, establish, maintain and review internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and prepare and distribute periodic reports in accordance with SEC rules. Our financial statements following the IPO have reflected and will continue to reflect the impact of these expenses. See “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Management and Employees—The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, increase our costs, divert management’s attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP key performance indicators to evaluate our business operations, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report are supplemental measures of our performance that we believe help investors 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. 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.
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 below and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, 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, refinancing fees, business transformation costs and other discrete expenses, when applicable. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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.

Key Components of Results of Operations
The following discussion provides a brief description of certain items that appear in our consolidated financial statements and the general factors that impact these items.
Revenue consists of gross sales principally resulting from the engine and component repair services that we perform for commercial, military and business aviation fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft engines, as well as aeroderivative engines for the land and marine and other markets. Within these end markets, our Engine Services segment primarily provides a variety of value-added services in support of the maintenance, repair, testing and recertification of aerospace and aeroderivative engines. Our Component Repair Services segment supports commercial aerospace, military aerospace, land and marine and other markets with engine piece part repair and accessory repair.
Cost of revenue primarily consists of direct costs required to provide our services. These costs include the cost of materials, direct labor for inspection and disassembly, assembly and repair, rental engines, subcontracted services and overhead costs directly related to the performance of aftermarket services. Overhead costs include the cost of our facilities, engineering, quality and production management, including indirect labor supporting production, depreciation of equipment and facilities and amortization of the costs associated with OEM authorizations and licenses. The cost of materials accounts for the largest portion of our cost of revenue.
36
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense primarily consists of expenses related to the selling of our services to our customers and maintaining a global sales support network, including salaries of our direct sales force. General costs to support the administrative requirements of the business such as finance, accounting, information technology, human resources and general management are also included.
Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life for customer relationships, trademarks and technology and other assets.
Interest expense primarily consists of interest on our debt obligations, including the amortization of debt discount and deferred finance charges. Interest expense also includes the portion of the gain or loss on our interest-rate swap and interest-rate cap agreements that is reclassified into earnings.
Refinancing costs primarily consists of costs incurred in the prior year for an amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement in March 2024.
Loss on debt extinguishments
Loss on debt extinguishments incurred in the prior year primarily consists of the write-off of unamortized charges related to the extinguished portions of the Prior 2023 Term Loan Facilities and the redeemed portions of the Prior Senior Notes.
Our provision for income tax expense is based on permanent book/tax differences and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining the provision for income taxes.

Revenue. Revenue increased $181.7 million, or 13.5%, to $1,528.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1,347.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. 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 13.7% and 8.9%, respectively, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The military and helicopter end market increased 11.7% compared to the prior year period, driven by the contribution of the acquisition of Aero Turbine on August 23, 2024, during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
37
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue increased $130.2 million, or 11.2%, to $1,292.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1,162.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was driven by a growth in volumes, which drove higher material and direct labor expenses, as well as increased other overhead costs directly related to the performance of aftermarket services, in addition to the cost of revenue attributable to the acquisition of Aero Turbine on August 23, 2024.
The following table sets forth our total cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Total cost of revenue
Selling, general and administrative expense. SG&A expense was $76.0 million and $56.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was 5.0% and 4.2% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $19.8 million increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to a $7.5 million increase in personnel costs largely attributable to our transition to a public company, in addition to $3.8 million in stock compensation expense and a $3.5 million loss on disposals in the current period with no similar charges incurred in the prior year period, and a one time legal settlement in the prior year period with a benefit of $4.0 million.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $24.6 million and $23.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $1.3 million, or 5.6%, was primarily driven by the intangible assets allocated to customer relationships resulting from the Aero Turbine acquisition on August 23, 2024.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $34.2 million or 43.8% from $78.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $43.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease in interest expense was largely driven by (i) the repayment of the Prior Senior Notes in full on October 3, 2024 concurrent with the Company’s IPO, and (ii) entrance into the New Credit Agreement on October 31, 2024 providing for the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities and the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and the use of the proceeds to repay in full amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement and the Prior ABL Credit Agreement, terminating each of the debt facilities thereunder, and resulting in a weighted average interest rate of borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of 6.8% compared to 8.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion of our debt and financing activities.
Refinancing costs. Refinancing costs of $0.7 million associated with the modified portion of the Prior Credit Agreement amendment were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024 with no similar charges in the current year.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $24.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $21.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This was an increase of $3.0 million, or 14.6%. This increase in tax expense was due to the mix of forecasted earnings, which in 2025 resulted in full year forecasted U.S. pre-tax income, as opposed to a U.S. forecasted pre-tax loss in 2024.The tax expense, and corresponding effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were higher than the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the Global Intangible Low-taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision which was enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Further, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, the partial valuation allowance recorded against our interest expense carryforward deferred tax asset under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code also was a driver of the effective tax rate exceeding the statutory rate.

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 15.8% and 10.8%, respectively, compared to the prior year period. The military and helicopter end market increased 10.9% compared to the prior year period, driven by the contribution of the acquisition of Aero Turbine on August 23, 2024, which was partially offset by timing of lighter work scope shop visits during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue increased $293.7 million, or 13.2%, to $2,510.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $2,216.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was driven by a growth in volumes, which drove higher material and direct labor expenses, as well as increased other overhead costs directly related to the performance of aftermarket services, in addition to the cost of revenue attributable to the acquisition of Aero Turbine on August 23, 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expense. SG&A expense was $140.5 million and $108.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was 4.7% and 4.2% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $31.6 million increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to a $12.0 million increase in personnel costs and a $4.0 million increase in professional fees largely attributable to our transition to a public company, in addition to $5.9 million in stock compensation expense and a $3.5 million loss on disposals in the current period with no similar charges incurred in the prior year period, and a one time legal settlement in the prior year period with a benefit of $4.0 million.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $48.9 million and $46.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $2.3 million, or 5.0%, was primarily driven by the intangible assets allocated to customer relationships resulting from the Aero Turbine acquisition on August 23, 2024.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $68.0 million, or 43.7%, from $155.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $87.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease in interest expense was largely driven by (i) the repayment of the Prior Senior Notes in full on October 3, 2024 concurrent with the Company’s IPO, and (ii) entrance into the New Credit Agreement on October 31, 2024 providing for the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities and the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and the use of the proceeds to repay in full amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement and the Prior ABL Credit Agreement, terminating each of the debt facilities thereunder, and, resulting in a weighted average interest rate of borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of 6.9% compared to 8.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion of our debt and financing activities.
39
Refinancing costs. Refinancing costs of $4.9 million associated with the modified portion of the Prior Credit Agreement amendment were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024 with no similar charges incurred in the current year.
Loss on debt extinguishments. A $3.6 million loss on debt extinguishments was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance charges and debt discount related to the extinguished portion of the Prior 2023 Term Loan Facilities and redeemed portion of the Prior Senior Notes related to the refinancing activity with no similar charges incurred in the current year.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $46.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was an increase $8.3 million, or 22.0%. This increase in tax expense was due to the mix of forecasted earnings, which in 2025 resulted in full year forecasted U.S. pre-tax income, as opposed to a U.S. forecasted pre-tax loss in 2024. Additionally, year to date income before taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $176.9 million as compared to $46.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The tax expense, and corresponding effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were higher than the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the GILTI provision which was enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Further, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the partial valuation allowance recorded against our interest expense carryforward deferred tax asset under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code was also a driver of the effective tax rate exceeding the statutory rate.

For a discussion of Segment Adjusted EBITDA, see Note 19, "Segment Information" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 Engine Services
Engine Services segment revenue increased $139.2 million, or 11.5%, to $1,350.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to robust aftermarket activity across key established platforms and an accelerating production ramp on growth programs in commercial aerospace, as well as strong performance in business aviation.
Engine Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $24.8 million, or 16.2%, to $178.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $153.7 million for the prior year period. The increase in Engine Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by favorable product mix, volume growth, pricing and improved productivity.
Component Repair Services segment revenue increased $42.5 million, or 31.3%, to $178.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior year period. The revenue increase was primary attributable to our growth platforms, our Land & Marine business, the contribution of $27.3 million from the Aero Turbine acquisition, and robust underlying demand across our served platforms.
Component Repair Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $17.1 million, or 49.6%, to $51.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $34.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase reflects continued margin expansion from the Aero Turbine acquisition, as well as volume, pricing and favorable mix.
40
Engine Services segment revenue increased $310.1 million, or 13.4%, to $2,618.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue increases in our commercial aerospace and business aviation end markets were driven by robust aftermarket activity across key established platforms and an accelerating production ramp on growth programs in commercial aerospace, as well as strong performance in business aviation.
Engine Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $48.8 million, or 16.1%, to $352.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $303.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in Engine Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by favorable product mix, volume growth, pricing and improved productivity.
Component Repair Services segment revenue increased $71.5 million, or 26.1%, to $345.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to six months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue growth was primarily attributable to our growth platforms, our Land & Marine business, the contribution of $49.2 million of revenue attributable to the acquisition of Aero Turbine on August 23, 2024, as well as volume and favorable mix. This growth was partially offset by facility consolidations and the timing of customer shipments during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Component Repair Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $28.7 million, or 40.8%, to $99.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $70.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to continued margin expansion from the Aero Turbine acquisition, as well as volume, pricing and favorable mix.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes select financial data relevant to our liquidity and capital resources as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
Net working capital (total current assets less total current liabilities)
1,483,787
1,211,590
Total debt (including current portion) (1)
2,231,426
Our principal historical cash requirements have been to fund working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions and to service our indebtedness. As of June 30, 2025, we had $715.5 million of available liquidity, consisting of $91.5 million cash on hand and, $639.0 million available under the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. Based on our current operations, we believe that our current sources of liquidity, including cash on hand and the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, are adequate to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. See Note 8, “Long-Term Debt” for further discussion of the New Credit Agreement and New Senior Secured Credit Facilities. However, our ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest, refinance our debt, comply with the financial covenants under our debt agreements and fund our other liquidity requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Any
41
future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions may require additional capital and there can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our debt outstanding consisted of the following:
As of June 30, 2025, we had the following debt agreements:
New Credit Agreement Covenant Compliance
The New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a springing financial covenant, which requires us to maintain a maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio that is tested quarterly, at the end of any fiscal quarter, when more than 40% of the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility (excluding, among other things, all letters of credit incurred under the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility (whether or not cash collateralized) and adjusted cash and cash equivalents of the Borrowers and their restricted subsidiaries) is utilized on such date. See our 2024 Form 10-K, “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—New Credit Agreement” for further discussion of the New Credit Agreement and New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
The New Credit Agreement contains certain financial reporting covenants that require us to present periodic financial metrics to our lenders. One such financial reporting metric is Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the New Credit Agreement. The definition of Consolidated EBITDA utilized for these debt reporting covenants differs from the definition of Adjusted EBITDA presented in this Quarterly Report in that it represents Adjusted EBITDA as further adjusted for certain additional items as defined in the New Credit Agreement. The table below highlights the differences between Adjusted EBITDA presented in this Quarterly Report and Consolidated EBITDA presented to our creditors:
Increases from Adjusted EBITDA to Consolidated EBITDA
Amount
Last twelve months ended June 30, 2025
10,405
Last twelve months ended June 30, 2024
5,288
Compliance with these covenants is essential to our ability to continue to meet our liquidity needs, as a failure to comply under the New Credit Agreement could result in a default under the New Credit Agreement and permit the senior lenders to accelerate the maturity of our indebtedness. Such an acceleration of our indebtedness would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, including our ability to make payments on our other indebtedness and our ability to operate our business.
As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants in the New Credit Agreement.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
Consolidated statements of cash flows data:
Cash at beginning of period
Cash at end of period
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $21.1 million. The factors affecting our operating cash flows during the period included net income of $130.7 million and non-cash charges of $99.5 million, partially offset by a $251.3 million change in our operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of $97.2 million in depreciation and amortization and $5.9 million in stock compensation expense, partially offset by a $11.6 million decrease in deferred income taxes. The increase in our net working capital was primarily due to the increase in trade working capital driven by continued growth in the business.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $72.4 million primarily consisted of $47.3 million of purchases of property, plant and equipment, rental engines and $30.0 million in payment of our licensing agreement acquired during the year ended December 2024.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $81.7 million was primarily attributable to the proceeds from long-term debt of $345.0 million, offset by $261.8 million in repayments of long-term debt.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $18.2 million. The factors affecting our operating cash flows during the period included net income of $8.6 million, offset by non-cash charges of $96.3 million and a $123.1 million change in our operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of $92.9 million in depreciation and amortization and a $6.9 million decrease in deferred income taxes.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $44.8 million primarily consisted of $45.1 million of purchases of property, plant and equipment and rental engines.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $65.9 million was primarily attributable to the proceeds from long-term debt of $436.0 million, offset by $368.4 million in repayments of long-term debt.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures during the period. We evaluate our significant estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows will be affected.
Our accounting estimates discussed below are important to the presentation of our results of operations and financial condition and require the application of judgment by our management in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates are based on our previous experience, trends in the industry, the terms of existing contracts and information available from other outside sources and factors. Adjustments to our financial statements are recorded when our actual experience differs from the expected experience underlying these assumptions. These adjustments could be material if our experience is significantly different from our assumptions and estimates. Below are those policies applied in preparing our financial statements that management believes are the most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions.

We describe our critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” in our 2024 Form 10-K. We consider the following policies to be our most critical accounting policies because they involve critical accounting estimates and a significant degree of management judgment:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
The New Credit Agreements are subject to interest rate risk. Borrowings under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate per annum which can be, at our option:
The applicable margin for the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities is subject to adjustments based on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) as of the preceding fiscal quarter end, with (x) one 25.0 basis point ratio-based step down, in the case of the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities, and (y) two 25.0 basis point ratio-based step downs, in the case of the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility.
On March 15, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap contract, effective March 31, 2023, for a notional amount for $400.0 million. The swap provides an effective fixed SOFR rate of 3.71%, maturing on December 31, 2025. Additionally, we have entered into an interest rate cap contract to limit the exposure against the risk of rising interest rates. The interest rate cap contract, effective on March 31, 2023, provides a capped SOFR rate of 4.45% and matures on September 30, 2025. This interest rate cap contract began with a notional amount of $500.0 million, increased to $1,000.0 million on March 31, 2023, and to $1,500.0 million on March 28, 2024. On November 14, 2023, we entered into another interest rate cap contract, effective September 30, 2025, to continue to limit the exposure of the interest rates on our variable term loans to a capped SOFR rate of 5.00% on a notional amount of $1,500.0 million, maturing on December 31, 2026.
Inflation Risk
Inflation generally affects our costs of labor, equipment, raw materials, freight and utilities. We strive to offset these items by price increases, operating improvements and other cost-saving initiatives and through contractual provisions that allow us to pass along material and other cost increases to customers. In certain end markets, implementing price increases may be difficult and there is no assurance that we will be successful. From time to time, we may encounter difficulties in obtaining certain raw materials or components necessary for production due to supply chain constraints and logistical challenges, which may also negatively impact the pricing of materials and components sourced or used in our services.
Currency Risk
Our assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the period-end rate. Exchange differences arising from this translation are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. In addition, currency exposures can arise from revenue and purchase transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Generally, transactional currency exposures are naturally hedged (i.e., revenue and expenses are approximately matched), but where appropriate, we use foreign exchange contracts. On April 7, 2025, we entered into a foreign currency contract at a notional value of GBP 39.5 million and CAD 136.5 million maturing on December 31, 2025. Approximately $37.7 million, or 2.5%, and $33.7 million, or 2.5%, of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $72.7 million, or 2.4%, and $79.5 million, or 3.1% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was attributable to non-U.S. Dollar currencies. Gains or losses due to transactions in foreign currencies included in our consolidated statements of operations was a $0.1 million loss and a $0.3 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and a $0.4 million loss and a $1.0 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A hypothetical 10% change in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies during any of the periods presented would not have had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As we have previously been a privately held company, we were not subject to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404”), to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As previously reported in our 2024 Form 10-K, in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The following are our material weaknesses:
These material weaknesses resulted in immaterial corrections, as well as immaterial unrecorded errors to various accounts and disclosures in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and condensed consolidated financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. These material weaknesses could also result in a misstatement of substantially all of our account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Management’s Remediation Efforts
Management is committed to implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to ensure that the control deficiencies that contributed to the material weaknesses are remediated. To address our material weaknesses, we are in the process of planning to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the control deficiencies that led to the material weaknesses. These measures include (i) hiring additional accounting and IT personnel to ensure the effectiveness of our processes and controls; (ii) devoting proper time by those personnel to perform a comprehensive review of procedures to assess and
identify risks; (iii) developing monitoring controls and protocols that will allow us to timely assess the design and operating effectiveness of controls; (iv) designing effective information and communication controls between various functions within the Company to verify complete and accurate financial reporting; (v) implementing additional procedures to support a sufficient level of management review over complex estimates and judgmental areas of accounting and financial reporting; and (vi) improving the design and testing of IT controls for IT systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements, including with respect to program and data changes, user access controls, and computer operations controls.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are taking actions to remediate the material weaknesses relating to our internal controls over financial reporting, as described above. Except as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act) identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are and may become involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. These proceedings primarily involve commercial claims, product liability claims, personal injury claims and worker’s compensation claims. Consistent with GAAP, we have established reserves when the liability is probable, and the loss is capable of being reasonably estimated. We cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims with certainty. For further discussion please see Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies" to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
