Q3 2025 earnings summary27 Oct, 2025

Executive summary

  • Achieved record Q3 2025 revenue of $283 million, up 39% year-over-year, driven by strong aviation aftermarket demand, acquisitions, and new distribution contracts.

  • GAAP net income fell to $3.6 million due to a $23 million non-cash fair value adjustment related to the Fleet segment earn-out.

  • Announced and completed major acquisitions, including Aero3 for $350 million and Turbine Weld for $49.9 million, enhancing MRO and distribution capabilities.

  • Integration of acquisitions and OEM-licensed program implementation are progressing ahead of schedule, with synergy capture targeted for mid-2026.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
