| Acquisitions | 2. Acquisitions Acquisition of the Aircraft Reconfig Technologies Business On April 24, 2026, we acquired the outstanding shares of Aircraft Reconfig Technologies (“ART”), a leading aircraft interiors engineering company for $36.0 million subject to customary post-closing adjustments for cash, working capital, and indebtedness. We accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method and included the results of ART’s operations in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. ART’s results are reported within our Repair, Engineering, and Software segment. The base purchase price was paid at closing and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of $1.1 million were expensed as incurred during fiscal 2026. The purchase price was allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities based on information available at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and will potentially change in future periods as fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are finalized, including those related to working capital, intangible assets, property and equipment, leases, and indemnification assets. The final determination of the fair values will be completed within the one-year measurement period. The preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
Acquisition of HAECO Americas On November 3, 2025, we acquired the outstanding shares of HAECO Americas, LLC and its subsidiary HAECO Airframe Services, LLC (together, “HAECO Americas”) from HAECO USA, Inc. for a purchase price of $78.0 million, which includes estimated post-closing adjustments for cash, working capital, and indebtedness. HAECO Americas provides heavy aircraft MRO and modification services across its hangars located in Greensboro, North Carolina and Lake City, Florida. We accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method and included the results of HAECO Americas’ operations in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. HAECO Americas’ results are reported within our Repair, Engineering, and Software segment. The base purchase price was paid at closing and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of $3.3 million were expensed as incurred in fiscal 2026. The purchase price was allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities based on information available at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and will potentially change in future periods as fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are finalized, including those primarily related to working capital. The preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired exceeded the total purchase price resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $29.5 million, which we recognized in fiscal 2026. We believe the acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain as the seller was highly motivated to divest the business as part of its long-term strategies. The final determination of the fair values will be completed within the one-year measurement period. The preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
As part of our integration activities, we are consolidating our facility footprint, which includes closing our Indianapolis, Indiana airframe maintenance facility and relocating the majority of those operations to the Greensboro, North Carolina facility. Expenses incurred for integration activities during fiscal 2026 were $11.1 million. Acquisition of ADI On September 25, 2025, we acquired the outstanding shares of ADI, including ADI American Distributors, LLC and other of ADI’s subsidiaries, for an initial purchase price of $137.1 million. The post-closing adjustments for cash, working capital and indebtedness were resolved in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 resulting in a $0.6 million reduction in the purchase price. ADI is a leading distributor of electronic components and assemblies to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) across the aerospace and defense industry. The initial purchase price was paid at closing except for $4.5 million, which was placed on deposit with an escrow agent to secure potential indemnification obligations and fund post-closing adjustments for working capital and indebtedness. During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the post-closing adjustments were finalized resulting in the release of $1.0 million from the escrow. We accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method and included the results of ADI’s operations in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. ADI’s results are reported within our Parts Supply segment. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of $4.1 million were expensed as incurred. The purchase price was allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities based on information available at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and will potentially change in future periods as fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are finalized, including those related to working capital and leases. The final determination of the fair values will be completed within the one-year measurement period. The preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
Acquired amortizable intangible assets include customer relationships of $43.3 million and backlog of $16.4 million, which are being amortized over 12.5 years and 3 years, respectively. We also recognized indefinite-lived trademarks of $16.1 million. The goodwill associated with the ADI acquisition is deductible for tax purposes and is primarily attributable to the benefits we expect to derive from expected synergies including complementary product lines, cross-selling opportunities, operational efficiencies, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as their assembled workforce. Expenses incurred for integration activities during fiscal 2026 were $0.3 million. Acquisition of Aerostrat On August 11, 2025, we acquired the outstanding shares of Aerostrat for a base purchase price of $15.0 million plus contingent consideration of up to $5.0 million. Aerostrat is a leading long-range maintenance planning software provider used by airlines, MRO facilities, and cargo companies to automate complex scheduling, ensure production capacity, and simplify aircraft allocation. The base purchase price was paid at closing except for $3.1 million, which was placed on deposit with an escrow agent to secure potential indemnification obligations and fund post-closing adjustments for working capital and indebtedness. The contingent consideration includes $1.0 million subject to the successful launch of certain product offerings by December 31, 2026 and up to $4.0 million based on the achievement of adjusted revenue targets by August 1, 2028. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $4.0 million at the acquisition date and has been included in the purchase price. We accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method and included the results of Aerostrat’s operations in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. Aerostrat’s results are reported within our Repair, Engineering, and Software segment. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of $0.5 million were expensed as incurred in fiscal 2026. The final fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
Acquired amortizable intangible assets include customer relationships of $4.7 million and developed technology of $4.9 million, which are being amortized over 10 years and 20 years, respectively. Intangible assets also include tradenames of $0.7 million which are indefinite-lived. The goodwill associated with the Aerostrat acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes and is primarily attributable to the benefits we expect to derive from expected synergies including complementary products and services, cross-selling opportunities and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as their assembled workforce. Acquisition of Triumph Group’s Product Support Business On March 1, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Triumph Group, Inc.’s Product Support business (“Product Support”) for an initial purchase price of $725.0 million. The post-closing adjustments for cash, working capital and indebtedness were resolved in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 resulting in a $2.9 million reduction in the purchase price. Product Support is a leading global provider of specialized MRO capabilities for critical aircraft components in the commercial and defense markets, providing MRO services for structural components, engine and airframe accessories, interior refurbishment and wheels and brakes. Product Support also designs proprietary designated engineering representative repairs and parts manufacturer approval parts. Product Support’s results are reported within our Repair, Engineering, and Software segment. The purchase price was paid at closing and was funded with debt financing. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of $21.0 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2024. In connection with the acquisition, we secured commitments for a bridge financing facility (the “Bridge Facility”). No amounts were drawn under the Bridge Facility, which was terminated on March 1, 2024 upon securing permanent debt financing and closing the acquisition. During fiscal 2024, we expensed $6.1 million within Interest expense for the fees associated with the Bridge Facility. We accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method and included the results of Product Support’s operations in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. The final fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
Acquired amortizable intangible assets include customer relationships of $96.1 million and developed technology of $83.3 million which are being amortized over 12.5 years and 20 years, respectively. The goodwill associated with the Product Support acquisition is deductible for tax purposes and is primarily attributable to the benefits we expect to derive from expected synergies including facility rationalization, complementary products and services, cross-selling opportunities, in-sourcing repair services and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as their assembled workforce. As part of our integration activities, we are consolidating our facility footprint which included the closure of our Garden City, New York leased component repair facility and relocating those operations to certain Product Support facilities. In conjunction with the facility exit, environmental remediation obligations were identified and we recognized a liability for $1.1 million in fiscal 2026 as our estimate of the future costs associated with the remediation. The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors, including the nature and extent of contamination, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. In addition to the liability for the environmental remediation obligations, we also recognized a liability of $0.5 million which represents our estimated settlement cost for a related landlord dispute. Expenses recognized for integration activities, including facility closure costs, severance, retention, and other related costs were $2.5 million, $7.5 million, and $0.5 million in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Acquisition of Trax On March 20, 2023, we acquired the outstanding shares of Trax for a purchase price of $120.0 million plus contingent consideration of up to $20.0 million based on Trax’s adjusted revenue in calendar years 2023 and 2024. Trax is a leading provider of aircraft MRO and fleet management software supporting a broad spectrum of maintenance activities for a diverse global customer base of airlines and MROs. The contingent consideration is based on an adjusted cumulative revenue target across calendar years 2023 and 2024. The adjusted cumulative revenue target is based on revenue recognized under U.S. GAAP adjusted for certain events related to deferred revenue, customer commitments, and other adjustments. The contingent consideration is treated as compensation expense within Selling, general and administrative expenses. Compensation expense recognized in fiscal 2025 and 2024 were $0.7 million and $6.3 million, respectively. No compensation expense was recognized in fiscal 2026. As of May 31, 2026, we have a contingent consideration liability of $8.1 million, which was classified as Other accrued liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In November 2025, Trax’s former owners filed a demand for arbitration contesting the determination of the contingent consideration and certain tax matters. We strongly disagree with the claims by Trax’s former owners and we believe we have adequate support for our determination of the contingent consideration and our positions on the tax matters. We expect to finalize the contingent consideration in fiscal 2027. |
