• Raised FY2026 outlook: Management increased full-year guidance with midpoint revenue now at $9.94 billion (?+13% YoY) and midpoint EBITDA as-defined at $5.21 billion (?+9%), and adjusted EPS midpoint of $38.38, excluding pending acquisitions.
• Strong cash generation and liquidity: Q1 operating cash flow topped $830 million, free cash flow was just under $900 million, ending cash of >$2.5 billion, and unchanged FY26 FCF guidance of ?$2.4 billion; management also repurchased >$100 million of stock.
• Active, disciplined M&A that fits the model — announced purchases of Stellent (~$960M) and Jet Parts Engineering + Victor Sierra (~$2.2B); pro forma M&A capacity remains substantial (management cites ~$10 billion).
• High-margin performance — Q1 EBITDA as-defined margin was 52.4% (including ~200 bps dilution from recent deals), and management says margins in base businesses improved more than expected, though they remain conservatively guided for the year.
• Demand and bookings are strong but uneven: Q1 bookings outpaced sales across commercial OEM (pro forma +17%), commercial aftermarket (+7%), and defense (+7%), yet management flags OEM recovery as “bumpy” and aftermarket growth lags peers by ~5–6 points due to lower engine exposure and distributor/airline lumpiness.
