Fiscal 2026 Outlook
While increasing full-year guidance, we recognize there is uncertainty in the broader aerospace environment which, depending on the duration, may impact our markets, specifically commercial aftermarket. Based on the strong performance to date as well as our near-term outlook, we shifted our market channel guidance upward. This guidance excludes any contribution from the pending acquisition of Stellant.
The current environment is very dynamic and we will continue to monitor the markets closely as the year progresses."
- Net sales are anticipated to be in the range of
$10,300 million to$10,420 million compared with$8,831 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of 17.3% at the midpoint (an increase of$420 million at the midpoint from prior guidance); - Net income is anticipated to be in the range of
$2,026 million to$2,106 million compared with$2,074 million in fiscal 2025, a decrease of 0.4% at the midpoint primarily due to additional interest expense relating to the financing activities completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (an increase of$58 million at the midpoint from prior guidance); - Earnings per share is expected to be in the range of
$33.91 to$35.29 per share based upon weighted average shares outstanding of 58.0 million shares, compared with$32.08 per share in fiscal 2025, which is an increase of 7.9% at the midpoint (an increase of$1.17 per share at the midpoint from prior guidance); - EBITDA As Defined is anticipated to be in the range of
$5,370 million to$5,470 million compared with$4,760 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of 13.9% at the midpoint (an increase of$210 million at the midpoint from prior guidance and corresponding to an EBITDA As Defined margin guide of approximately 52.3% for fiscal 2026); - Adjusted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of
$38.83 to$40.21 per share compared with$37.33 per share in fiscal 2025, an increase of 5.9% at the midpoint compared to prior year (an increase of$1.14 per share at the midpoint from prior guidance); and - Fiscal 2026 outlook is based on the following market growth assumptions:
- Commercial OEM revenue growth in the low double-digit to mid-teens percentage range;
- Commercial aftermarket revenue growth in the high single-digit to low double-digit percentage range; and
- Defense revenue growth in the high single-digit percentage range.

About
Non-GAAP Supplemental Information
EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release as supplemental disclosures to net income and reported results.
None of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined margin, adjusted net income or adjusted earnings per share is a measurement of financial performance under
Although we use EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined as measures to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider any of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with
- neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness;
- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;
- the omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined;
- neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations; and
- EBITDA As Defined excludes the cash expense we have incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, which is a necessary element of certain of our acquisitions.
