Insights

Financial Analyst

StandardAero's Q3 2024 results demonstrate robust financial performance with $1.24 billion in revenue, up 13.2% year-over-year. Key metrics show significant improvement:

• Adjusted EBITDA grew 26% to $168.4 million
• EBITDA margin expanded 137 basis points to 13.5%
• Successful $1.7 billion IPO enabling $130 million annual interest savings

The acquisition of ATI for up to $141 million strengthens their component repair capabilities. Post-IPO debt restructuring significantly improves the company's financial flexibility. Strong growth in commercial aerospace (20%) and business aviation (15%) segments offset military market softness. The strategic debt reduction and margin expansion trajectory position the company favorably for sustained growth.

Aerospace Industry Analyst

The results reflect the robust recovery in commercial aviation maintenance demand. The expansion into LEAP-1A/-1B programs and new CFM56 Center of Excellence shows strategic positioning in next-generation engine platforms. The ATI acquisition adds critical military platform capabilities and repair certifications, diversifying revenue streams. The temporary V-22 Osprey fleet grounding impact demonstrates the importance of military program diversification. The 13.2% revenue growth outpaces industry averages, indicating market share gains. Component repair services growth of 15.2% suggests strong aftermarket demand across platforms. The greenfield facility investment in Dallas positions StandardAero for increased market penetration in high-demand engine types.

Growth Driven By Solid Execution & Strength Across End Markets

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- StandardAero (NYSE: SARO) announced results today for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024 (“Third Quarter 2024”).

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights

• Revenue increased 13.2% year-over-year to $1,244.6 million
• Net Income was $16.4 million; Net Income Margin was 1.3%
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 26.0% year-over-year to $168.4 million
• Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 13.5%, an increase of 137 basis points compared to the prior year’s quarter
• Capital expenditures were $25.3 million, reflecting continued investment in growth initiatives including the LEAP-1A/-1B program and the CFM56 Center of Excellence greenfield facility in Dallas
• Acquired Aero Turbine Inc. (“ATI”) to expand component repair capabilities and add complementary military platforms

Post-Quarter Highlights

• Completed $1.7 billion initial public offering (“IPO”), with $1.2 billion net primary proceeds used to pay down debt and significantly de-lever the business
• Refinanced capital structure with new term loan and revolving credit facility that increase liquidity, extend maturities, and are expected to result in over $130 million in annual interest savings compared to pre-IPO levels

“We are very pleased to report strong results following our recent initial public offering. Our quarterly performance reflects strong growth from higher volumes and solid execution, particularly within the commercial aerospace and business aviation markets where we continue to see robust demand,” said Russell Ford, StandardAero’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Furthermore, following our successful IPO, we significantly delevered the balance sheet, providing increased financial flexibility as we pursue our strategic initiatives. With a clear leadership position in the aerospace engine aftermarket, strong team, and a winning strategy to create value for our stakeholders, we are confident in our ability to continue to grow and execute in the years to come.”

Third Quarter 2024 Consolidated Results

StandardAero reported Third Quarter 2024 revenue of $1,244.6 million, an increase of 13.2% compared to $1,099.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by both the Engine Services and Component Repair Services segments, with particular strength in the commercial aerospace and business aviation end markets, which increased 20% and 15%, respectively, compared to the prior year period. This growth was partially offset by a 3% decline in the military and helicopter end market, primarily attributable to the temporary grounding of the US Navy’s V-22 Osprey fleet earlier this year, which has since returned to service.

Net income was $16.4 million for the Third Quarter 2024, as compared to net loss of $17.9 million for the prior year period. Net income for the quarter remained impacted by the Company’s higher leverage and interest expense associated with its pre-IPO capital structure, as well as expenses associated with the Company’s IPO, the acquisition of ATI during the quarter, and other non-recurring activities. Net income margin was 1.3%, an increase of 3.0 percentage points compared to (1.6)% for the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 26.0% to $168.4 million for the Third Quarter 2024, as compared to $133.7 million for the prior year period. The increase reflects revenue growth in both segments and continued margin expansion from operating leverage, positive mix, and pricing and cost initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 137 basis points to 13.5%, as compared to 12.2% for the prior year period.

Capital expenditures were $25.3 million, or 2.0% of revenue, for the Third Quarter 2024, as compared to $13.9 million for the prior year period. The increase reflects continued investments in growth initiatives, including the LEAP-1A/-1B program and the new CFM56 Center of Excellence greenfield facility in Dallas, Texas, which collectively accounted for $14.8 million of capital expenditures during the quarter.

Third Quarter 2024 Segment Results

Engine Services Segment

Engine Services segment revenue increased $124.9 million, or 12.9%, to $1,090.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Revenue generated from our commercial aerospace end market increased 20%, primarily driven by higher engine maintenance demand. Revenue generated from our business aviation end market increased 15%, primarily attributable to the demand on the platforms that we service. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our military and helicopter end market of 7% primarily attributable to the temporary grounding of the US Navy’s V-22 Osprey fleet.

Engine Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $24.9 million, or 20%, to $147.4 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $122.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by increases in revenue and positive mix benefit from higher margin work scopes on the engines that we serviced.

Component Repair Services Segment

Component Repair Services segment revenue increased $20.4 million, or 15.2%, to $154.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Revenue generated from our commercial aerospace end market increased 13%, primarily driven by the increases in engine maintenance and higher component usage. Revenue generated in our military and helicopter and other end markets increased 19%, primarily attributable to increased demand for component repairs as well as the acquisition of ATI.

Component Repair Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.1 million, or 21%, to $40.8 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $33.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to increased revenue and improved productivity.

Year-to-Date Results

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $3,827.5 million, an increase of 12.4% compared to $3,405.5 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by both the Engine Services and Component Repair Services segments. The commercial aerospace and business aviation end markets increased 21% and 7%, respectively, compared to the prior year period, which were partially offset by a decrease in the military and helicopter end market of 2%, primarily attributable to the temporary grounding of the US Navy’s V-22 Osprey fleet, partially offset by the acquisition of ATI.

Net income was $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net loss of $30.5 million for the prior year period. Net income for the year-to-date period was impacted by the Company’s higher leverage and interest expense associated with its pre-IPO capital structure, as well as expenses associated with the Company’s IPO, the acquisition of ATI during the quarter, and other non-recurring activities. Net income margin was 0.7%, an increase of 1.5 percentage points compared to (0.9)% for the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $504.4 million, an increase of 18.6% as compared to $425.4 million for the prior year period. The increase reflects strong revenue growth in both segments and continued margin expansion from operating leverage, positive mix, pricing and cost initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 69 basis points to 13.2%, as compared to 12.5% for the prior year period.

Acquisition Activities

On August 23, 2024, StandardAero announced the acquisition of Aero Turbine, Inc. (“ATI”), a provider of engine component repair and other value-added engine aftermarket services for U.S. and international customers, for a total purchase price of up to $141.0 million, consisting of $120.0 million of upfront purchase price and up to $21.0 million of contingent consideration payable based on the achievement of certain earnings targets through year-end 2026. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company’s ABL Credit Facility, which was repaid on September 6, 2024, with incremental borrowings from the 2024 Term Loan B-1 Facility and the 2024 Term Loan B-2 Facility.

“We are very excited to acquire a highly reputable and differentiated business in Aero Turbine,” said Russell Ford. “ATI brings coveted component repair capabilities and military Source Approval Request expertise, an attractive and complementary suite of military engine platform positions and customer relationships, and compelling synergy opportunities. We look forward to continuing to deliver the highest level of service performance to ATI’s customer base while collaborating to accelerate growth at both businesses.”

ATI will be reported as part of StandardAero’s Component Repair Services segment and is expected to contribute $25 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2025.

IPO and Capital Structure Update

On October 2, 2024, the Company completed its IPO of common stock at a public offering price of $24.00 per share. The offering included 69 million shares of common stock, of which the Company issued and sold 53.25 million shares and the selling stockholders sold 15.75 million shares. The IPO generated net proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,202.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $67.1 million and estimated offering expenses of approximately $8.1 million, which were used to repay all of StandardAero’s $475.5 million of outstanding 10.0% Senior Notes, plus accrued interest, and repay $726.1 million of StandardAero’s outstanding 2024 Term Loan Facilities, plus accrued interest.

Additionally, on October 31, 2024, the Company refinanced its remaining debt, entering into a new credit agreement providing for $2,250.0 million of new term loan facilities due October 31, 2031, bearing interest at Term SOFR + 2.25% and a new $750.0 million 2024 revolving credit facility due October 31, 2029, bearing interest at Term SOFR + 2.00%. The applicable margins on the new facilities are subject to adjustment based on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the new credit agreement) as of the preceding fiscal quarter end. The Company used the proceeds raised from the new term loan facilities and the new revolving credit facility, net of fees, to repay in full and terminate its existing debt facilities.

The interest rate of the new term loan facilities reflects a 1.25% reduction from our previous interest rate and the interest rate of the new revolving credit facility reflects a 1.50% reduction from our previous interest rate, in each case, prior to our IPO. Combined, the IPO and the refinancing transactions result in a significantly de-leveraged capital structure and improved cash flow profile, with annual interest savings of greater than $130 million as compared to pre-IPO levels under current interest rates.

Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our business operations,

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release 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 of our non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures included in this press release and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), 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, refinance 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.
