Loar Holdings Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization

Prior to April 16, 2024, Loar Holdings Inc. (the Company) operated as a Delaware limited liability company under the name Loar Holdings, LLC. On April 16, 2024, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Loar Holdings Inc. (the Corporate Conversion). In the Corporate Conversion, all of the equity interests of the Company outstanding as of the date thereof were converted into shares of common stock. Specifically, holders of Loar Holdings, LLC units received 377,450.980392157 shares of common stock of Loar Holdings Inc. for each unit of Loar Holdings, LLC. The purpose of the Corporate Conversion was to reorganize the Company’s structure in advance of the public offering of common stock so that the entity offering the common stock to the public in the offering was a corporation rather than a limited liability company, so that the existing investors and new investors in the offering would own the Company’s common stock rather than equity interests in a limited liability company.

The registration statement related to the Company’s initial public offering (IPO) was declared effective on April 24, 2024, and the
Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on April 25, 2024. On April 29, 2024, the Company
completed its IPO for the sale of 12.6 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a public offering price of $28.00
per share. The Company received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $325.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering costs of $28.8 million.

On December 12, 2024, the Company completed a follow-on offering in which it issued 3,852,500 shares of common stock at a price of $85.00 per share (Follow-on Offering). The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $311.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering costs of $16.0 million.

2. Basis of Presentation

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless expressly stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Loar,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Loar Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries, collectively.

Principles of Consolidation

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in Loar Holdings Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2025. As disclosed therein, the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from Loar Holdings Inc.’s audited financial statements for the year then-ended. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Reclassifications

A reclassification has been made to the prior year's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform with the current year's presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or operating or total cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires a public business entity to disclose specific categories in its annual effective tax rate reconciliation and provide disaggregated information about significant reconciling items by jurisdiction and by nature. The ASU also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds) to international, federal, and state and local jurisdictions. The standard makes several other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows, and the Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Sub Topic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses . The guidance requires disaggregated information about certain income statement costs and expenses for public entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity

presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories within the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisition

Applied Avionics, Inc.

On August 26, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Applied Avionics, LLC, a Delaware LLC (AAI), which was formerly known as Applied Avionics, Inc. from AAI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (AAI Parent) for $383.5 million in cash. AAI Parent is owned by certain individual shareholders thereof, including certain members of AAI’s management team. Incorporated in 1968, AAI designs, develops and manufactures highly engineered avionics interface solutions.

The total purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the transaction date (in thousands):


Assets acquired:
Current assets	$	7,169
Property, plant and equipment		6,996
Intangible assets		152,100
Goodwill		219,753
Deferred income taxes		1,574
Total assets acquired		387,592
Liabilities assumed:
Current liabilities		4,043
Total liabilities assumed		4,043
Net assets acquired	$	383,549

Inventory was recorded at its estimated fair value, which represented an amount equivalent to estimated selling price less fulfillment costs and a normative selling profit. The increase in fair value of inventory from the acquisition was approximately $1.1 million, which was recognized in cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no amounts recognized in cost of goods sold related to AAI.

Goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expected synergies with other acquired companies, combined with the industry operating expertise of management. These are among the factors that contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The results of operations of AAI are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition.

Pro forma financial information

Had the acquisition of AAI occurred as of January 1, 2023, net sales on a pro forma basis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 would have been $102.1 million. Additionally, loss before income taxes on a pro forma basis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 would have been $4.0 million. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition been effective January 1, 2023, nor are they intended to be indicative of results that may occur in the future. The underlying pro forma information includes the historical financial results of the Company and the acquired business adjusted for certain items. The pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2024 includes $2.4 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets resulting from the preliminary purchase price allocation. Interest expense has been adjusted as though the debt incurred to finance the AAI acquisition had been outstanding at January 1, 2023. The pro forma interest expense adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $9.2 million. The pro forma information does not include the effects of any synergies, cost reduction initiatives or anticipated integration costs related to the acquisition.

4. Revenue Recognition

All revenue recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.

Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers is recognized at a point in time, which is generally upon shipment of goods to the customer.

The Company sells specialty aerospace components based on a customer purchase order, which generally includes a fixed price per unit. The Company satisfies the single performance obligation generally upon shipment of the goods, as this is when contractual control transfers to the customer and recognizes revenue at that point in time. Total revenues do not include taxes, such as sales tax or value-added tax, which are assessed by governmental authorities and collected by the Company.

Products are covered by a standard assurance warranty, generally extended for a period of 25 days to two years depending on the customer, which promises that delivered products conform to contract specifications. The Company does not offer refunds or accept returns, unless related to a defect or warranty related matter. The Company does not sell extended warranties and does not provide warranties outside of fixing defects that existed at the time of sale. As such, warranties are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees and not as a separate performance obligation.

Customers generally have payment terms between 30 and 90 days from the satisfaction of the performance obligations. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the amount of consideration for a financing component, as the period between the transfer of goods or services and the customer’s payment is, at contract inception, expected to be one year or less.

On March 26, 2024, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the termination date of the delayed draw term loan commitment by approximately nine months, extending it from April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

On April 10, 2024, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to permit certain non-pro rata open market purchases of term loans pursuant to open market purchases. In addition, the Company also entered into that certain Master Open Market Purchase Agreement, by and between affiliates of lender and the Company (Master Open Market Purchase Agreement) to repurchase term loans on a non-pro rata basis subject to certain conditions as set forth therein.

The Company also increased the existing availability under its delayed draw term loan commitment to $100 million, which terminates if not drawn upon by May 10, 2026. In addition, the existing revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement was replaced with a new revolving credit commitment of $50 million. The unused portion of the revolving line of credit carries a commitment fee of 0.375%. Loans outstanding under the revolving line of credit, if any, mature on May 10, 2029.

On August 26, 2024, the Credit Agreement was amended to make available to the Company an incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $360 million for purposes of (i) paying a portion of the consideration payable by it pursuant to the terms of that certain purchase agreement (Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from AAI Parent all the issued and outstanding equity interests of AAI, (ii) paying fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, and (iii) otherwise to fund working capital and general corporate purposes.

On December 17, 2024, the Company used the net proceeds from its Follow-on Offering and cash from operations to repay $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of term loans under its Credit Agreement plus accrued interest of $1.5 million. The Company wrote-off $4.8 million in unamortized debt issuance costs.

The Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of a quarterly leverage ratio. There are also certain non-financial covenants in place limiting us from, among other things, incurring other indebtedness, creating any liens on our properties, entering into merger or consolidation transactions, disposing of all or substantially all of our assets and payment of certain dividends and distributions. The Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants of the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2025.

The Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments of the principal amount if there is excess cash flow, as defined, during a calendar year.

The Credit Agreement permits voluntary principal prepayments, in whole or in part, with no premium for any prepayments made. Any voluntary loan prepayments are applied to reduce future scheduled installments of principal in the order specified by the Company, or if the Company does not specify, the prepayment is applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company made voluntary prepayments of $614.6 million. The prepayments exceeded the quarterly mandatory principal payments for the remainder of the term loan. Accordingly, the next term loan principal payment is due on May 10, 2030. There were no voluntary prepayments made under the Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

At March 31, 2025, there was $281.4 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and there remained availability of $100.0 million in delayed draw term loan commitments and $50.0 million in revolving line of credit.

On March 7, 2025, in connection with the pending LMB acquisition expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, the Company entered into the Commitment Letter pursuant to which Blackstone Credit has committed, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, to provide the Company with the Incremental Loan Facility in an amount equal to the U.S. dollar equivalent of €400.0 million. The loans under the Incremental Loan Facility will mature on the same date, will amortize, and will bear the same interest rate as the existing term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, finance leases and debt. The carrying amounts of all financial instruments reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are considered to approximate fair value either due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of these financial instruments and their expected realization, or the interest rates associated with the debt obligations approximate current market rates.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company incidental to its business. Although the final results in such suits and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pending Acquisition

On March 7, 2025, following completion of the works council consultation process required under French Law, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of LMB Fans & Motors (LMB) for €365 million plus the assumption of net debt (estimated to be €44.3 million). Net debt is payable in cash at closing. LMB is a global specialty player in the design and production of customized high-performance fans and motors. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025 shortly after receiving requisite regulatory approvals and is subject to customary closing conditions.

The acquisition will be financed through additional borrowings under the Company's existing Credit Agreement and cash on hand. In connection with the acquisition, we entered into an incremental term facility commitment letter with Blackstone Credit (the Commitment Letter), pursuant to which Blackstone Credit has committed, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, to provide us with an incremental term loan facility in an amount equal to the U.S. dollar equivalent of €400.0 million (the Incremental Loan Facility). The loans under the Incremental Loan Facility will mature on the same date, will amortize, and will bear the same interest rate as the existing term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

11. Net Income per Common Share and Common Unit

Net income per common share and common unit was computed as follows (in thousands, except net income per common share and common unit amounts):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

12. Income Taxes

At the end of each quarter, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. The estimate used in the year-to-date period may change in subsequent periods.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 22.2% and 37.9%, respectively. The 2025 effective tax rate decreased when compared to 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax asset for its disallowed interest carryforward.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements including the related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains both historical information and, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, in particular, the statements about our plans, objectives, strategies and prospects regarding, among other things, our financial condition, results of operations and business. We have identified some of these forward-looking statements with words like “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” and other words and terms of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements may be contained throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to, among other things, our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Many factors mentioned in our discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors,” will be important in determining future results. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether our expectations will prove correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements, we cannot give any assurance that any of the events anticipated by these forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them does occur, what impact they will have on our business, results of operations and financial condition. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or the risk factors contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to reflect new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under federal securities laws.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include but are not limited to: the almost exclusive focus of our business on the aerospace and defense industry; our reliance on certain customers; failure to complete or successfully integrate acquisitions; the sensitivity of our business to the number of flight hours that our customers’ planes spend aloft and our customers’ profitability, both of which are affected by general economic conditions; future geopolitical or other worldwide events; cyber-security threats and natural disasters; the U.S. defense budget and risks associated with being a government supplier including government audits and investigations; failure to maintain government or industry approvals; tariffs on certain imports to the United States and other potential changes to U.S. tariff and import/export regulations; our indebtedness; potential environmental liabilities; liabilities arising in connection with litigation; increases in raw material costs, taxes and labor costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing; risks and costs associated with our international sales and operations; and other factors. Refer to Part II, Item 1A included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and to Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the foregoing factors that may affect our business.

Overview

We specialize in the design, manufacture, and sale of niche aerospace and defense components that are essential for today’s aircraft and aerospace and defense systems. We focus on mission-critical, highly engineered solutions with high intellectual property content. Furthermore, our products have significant aftermarket exposure, which has historically generated predictable and recurring revenue.

The products we manufacture cover a diverse range of applications supporting nearly every major aircraft platform in use today and include auto throttles, lap-belt airbags, two- and three-point seat belts, water purification systems, fire barriers, polyimide washers and bushings, latches, hold-open and tie rods, temperature and fluid sensors and switches, carbon and metallic brake discs, fluid and pneumatic-based ice protection, RAM air components, sealing solutions and motion and actuation devices, customized edge-lighted panels and knobs and annunciators for incandescent and LED illuminated pushbutton switches, among others.

We primarily serve three core end markets: commercial, business jet and general aviation, and defense, which have long historical track records of consistent growth. We also serve a diversified customer base within these end markets where we maintain long-standing customer relationships. We believe that the demanding, extensive and costly qualification process for new entrants, coupled with our history of consistently delivering exceptional solutions for our customers, has provided us with leading market positions and created significant barriers to entry for potential competitors. By utilizing differentiated design, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities, along with a highly targeted acquisition strategy, we have sought to create long-term, sustainable value with a consistent, global business model.

As a specialized supplier in the aerospace and defense component industry, we believe we are well positioned to deliver innovative, mission-critical solutions to a wide array of aerospace and defense customers. Our key competitive strengths support our ability to offer differentiated solutions to our customers. We have a portfolio of mission-critical, niche aerospace and defense components that we believe hold leading market positions. We have intellectual property-driven proprietary products and expertise in an industry with high barriers to entry. We are strategically focused on higher-margin aftermarket content. We have highly diversified revenue streams, and our diversification stretches across end-markets, customers, platforms, and product category or application. We have an established business model with a lean, entrepreneurial structure. We have a disciplined and strategic approach to acquisitions with a history of successful integration. We have a track record of strong growth, margins and cash flow generation.

Recent Developments

On March 7, 2025, following completion of the works council consultation process required under French Law, we entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of LMB for €365 million plus the assumption of net debt (estimated to be €44.3 million). Net debt is payable in cash at closing. LMB is a global specialty player in the design and production of customized high-performance fans and motors. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025 shortly after receiving requisite regulatory approvals and is subject to customary closing conditions.

The acquisition will be financed through additional borrowings under our existing Credit Agreement and cash on hand. In connection with the acquisition, we entered into the Commitment Letter, pursuant to which Blackstone Credit has committed, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, to provide us with an Incremental Loan Facility in an amount equal to the U.S. dollar equivalent of €400.0 million. The loans under the Incremental Loan Facility will mature on the same date, will amortize, and will bear the same interest rate as the existing term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Blackstone Credit is a lender under the Credit Agreement and owns approximately 13% of our common stock.

Outlook

As we look to the remainder of 2025, we anticipate net sales growth to be driven by organic growth, in particular the conversion of high levels of backlog of our existing products, and the impact from strategic acquisitions. Backlog primarily consists of firm orders for products that have not yet shipped. Continued inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions may lead to higher material and labor costs although these pressures and disruptions have not had a material effect on our year-to-date results of operations or capital resources, and we do not expect them to materially affect our outlook or business goals. So far in 2025, we have continued and plan to continue our commitment to develop new products and services, further market penetration, and pursue an aggressive acquisition strategy while seeking to maintain our financial strength and flexibility.

Financial and Operational Highlights

Three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with three months ended March 31, 2024

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $22.8 million, or 24.8%, to $114.7 million as compared to $91.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net organic sales represent net sales from our existing businesses for comparable periods and exclude net sales from acquisitions. We include net sales from new acquisitions in net organic sales from the 13th-month after the acquisition on a comparative basis with the prior period. Net acquisition sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 represent net sales from acquisitions that were completed in 2024 and 2025 for which there are no comparable net sales during the prior year. We believe this measure provides an understanding of underlying sales trends as it provides net sales comparisons on a consistent basis. We do not believe our net sales are subject to significant seasonal variations. See Note 3, Acquisition and Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s acquisition activities.

Net Organic Sales

Net organic sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $10.2 million, or 11.1%, to $102.0 million as compared to $91.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net organic sales was primarily related to increases in defense sales ($5.4 million, an increase of 32.6%), aftermarket total commercial sales ($4.3 million, an increase of 12.3%), and OEM total commercial sales ($2.2 million, an increase of 6.8%), partially offset by a decline in sales of non-aerospace products ($1.7 million, a decrease of 20.6%). The increase in defense sales was primarily driven by increased market share due to new product launches and an increased demand environment for defense products globally. The increase in aftermarket total commercial sales was primarily due to the continuing recovery in commercial air travel demand. The increase in OEM total commercial sales was driven by increases in demand to support aircraft production for general aviation, wide-body and narrow-body aircraft, as an improving supply chain has allowed us to deliver parts that were previously held because our customers were experiencing bottlenecks in other areas of their supply chains.

Net Acquisition Sales

Net acquisition sales of $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is made up of AAI which was acquired on August 26, 2024. This represents 13.7% of the increase in total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Gross Profit and Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $7.5 million, or 15.9%, to $54.9 million compared to $47.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Cost of sales and the related percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands except for percentages):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025			2024			Change			% Change
Cost of sales - excluding costs below	$	53,262		$	45,756		$	7,506			16.4	%
% of net sales		46.4	%		49.8	%
Amortization of intangible and other long-term assets		1,152			855			297			34.7	%
% of net sales		1.0	%		0.9	%
Acquisition and facility integration costs		539			800			(261	)		(32.6	)%
% of net sales		0.5	%		0.9	%
Total cost of sales	$	54,953		$	47,411		$	7,542			15.9	%
% of net sales		47.9	%		51.6	%
Gross profit (Net sales less Total cost of sales)	$	59,706		$	44,433		$	15,273			34.4	%
Gross profit percentage (Gross profit / Net sales)		52.1	%		48.4	%

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased 3.7% as a percentage of net sales to 47.9% from 51.6% in the comparable period last year. This decrease in cost of sales is primarily attributable to our operating leverage and execution of strategic value drivers, partially offset by higher amortization expense for intangible and other long-term assets.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $10.2 million to $33.1 million, or 28.9% as a percentage of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $22.9 million, or 24.9% as a percentage of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses and the related percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (amounts in thousands except for percentages):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025			2024			Change			% Change
Selling, general and administrative expenses - excluding costs below	$	18,246		$	13,706		$	4,540			33.1	%
% of net sales		15.9	%		14.9	%
Amortization of intangible and other long-term assets		8,408			6,411			1,997			31.1	%
% of net sales		7.3	%		7.0	%
Stock-based compensation expense		3,089			87			3,002		NM (1)
% of net sales		2.7	%		0.1	%
Acquisition and facility integration costs		443			667			(224	)		(33.6	)%

Research and development expenses		2,916			2,029			887			43.7	%
% of net sales		2.6	%		2.2	%
Total selling, general and administrative expenses	$	33,102		$	22,900		$	10,202			44.6	%
% of net sales		28.9	%		24.9	%

(1) NM - not meaningful.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 4.0% as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024. This was primarily driven by stock-based compensation expense, research and development expenses, amortization of intangible and other long-term assets, and infrastructure costs related to being a public company.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Transaction costs can fluctuate depending on the size and number of acquisitions in each year.

Operating Income

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $26.1 million, or 22.8% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $21.4 million, or 23.3% as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in operating income is due to the factors discussed above.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $11.3 million, or 63.6%, to $6.5 million compared to $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was attributable to the repayment of $284.6 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's Credit Agreement debt in May 2024 with a portion of the proceeds from our IPO and lower interest rates, partially offset by interest on the August 26, 2024 borrowing of the $360.0 million incremental term loan for the acquisition of AAI, of which $330.0 million of the outstanding term loans were repaid on December 15, 2024 with the proceeds from our Follow-on Offering and our cash from operations.

Income Tax Provision

The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $4.4 million compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in income tax provision was primarily driven by an increase in the Company's earnings in 2025 compared to 2024.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $15.3 million, or 13.4% as a percentage of net sales, compared to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $2.2 million, or 2.4% as a percentage of net sales. The improvement in results is primarily due to the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our capitalization as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands, unless otherwise indicated):


	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	80,498		$	54,066
Debt:
Credit Agreement debt (including current portion)		281,366			281,366

Total capitalization (debt plus equity)		1,387,488			1,369,200
Total debt to total capitalization		20	%		21	%

Our principal historical liquidity requirements have been for acquisitions, capital expenditures, servicing indebtedness and working capital needs. We fund our investing activities primarily from cash provided by our operating and financing activities. As of March 31, 2025, we had availability of $100 million of a delayed draw term loan commitment and a $50 million revolving line of credit. Based on our current outlook, we believe that net cash provided by operating activities and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. As we continue to expand our business, including by any acquisitions we may make, we may in the future require additional working capital for increased costs. See “Credit Agreement” (below) for additional detail regarding our financing activities.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $28.4 million and $10.8 million, respectively. The $17.5 million increase was primarily driven by an increase in net income of $13.1 million. Changes in certain other working capital accounts drove the remainder of the increase for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 of $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $0.1 million related to financing leases. Net cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was principally related to payments on our Credit Agreement of $1.7 million.

Credit Agreement

The Company’s long-term debt consists primarily of borrowings under its Credit Agreement.

On May 3, 2024, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from its IPO to repay $284.6 million aggregate principal amount of
term loans under its Credit Agreement plus accrued interest of $0.3 million. The Company wrote-off $0.8 million in unamortized debt issuance costs and expensed $0.8 million in refinancing costs associated with the amendment of the Credit Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

On August 26, 2024, the Credit Agreement was amended to make available to the Company an incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $360 million for purposes of (i) paying a portion of the consideration payable by it pursuant to the terms of that certain purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from AAI Parent all the issued and outstanding equity interests of AAI, (ii) paying fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, and (iii) otherwise to fund working capital and general corporate purposes.

In connection with the pending LMB acquisition expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, we entered into the Commitment Letter. See above under “—Recent Developments.”

Other Obligations and Commitments

We have future obligations under various contracts relating to debt and interest payments, finance and operating leases and our post-retirement benefit plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to these obligations, other than the pending LMB acquisition discussed under “—Recent Developments”. For a description of our other obligations and commitments, see our December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed on March 31, 2025.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Regulation S-K, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial statements and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Often, management’s judgment is needed in the selection and application of certain accounting policies and methods. However, investors are cautioned that the sensitivity of financial statements to these methods, assumptions and estimates could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions.

A complete and comprehensive discussion of our most critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain was included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations– Critical Accounting Estimates disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 which was filed on March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 2, Basis of Presentation, of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for updates to disclosures of accounting standards recently adopted or required to be adopted in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present below certain financial information based on our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. References to “EBITDA” mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, references to “Adjusted EBITDA” mean EBITDA plus, as applicable for each relevant period, certain adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and references to “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” refer to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because we believe they are useful indicators for evaluating operating performance. In addition, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to review and assess the performance of the management team in connection with employee incentive programs and to prepare its annual budget and financial projections. Moreover, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA of target companies to evaluate acquisitions.

Although we use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as measures to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, the use of 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 U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect 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 the cash requirements for such replacements are not reflected in EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin;

•

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin exclude the cash expense we have incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, which is a necessary element of certain of our acquisitions;

•

the omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin; and

•

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not include the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered as measures of cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing EBITDA,

Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in isolation and specifically by using other U.S. GAAP measures, such as net sales and operating profit, to measure our operating performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and they should not be considered as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to the calculations of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands unless otherwise indicated):

JOBS Act Election

We are currently an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Though we will be required to disclose material changes made to our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to make our first assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 until our second annual report on Form 10-K after we became a public company.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
