Acquisition of Aerostrat

On August 11, 2025, we acquired the outstanding shares of Aerostrat Corp. (“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, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“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 offering 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 $5.0 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 Integrated Solutions segment. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of $0.5 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 intangible 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:

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 segment. The purchase price was paid at closing and was funded with debt financing.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.

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 includes closing our Garden City, New York component repair facility and relocating those operations to certain Product Support facilities. We expect to have the transition of the facility’s operations completed in fiscal 2026. Expenses recognized for integration activities, including facility closure costs, product line exits, severance, retention, and other related costs were $1.0 million and $1.5 million during the three-month periods ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Acquisition of Trax USA Corp.

On March 20, 2023, we acquired the outstanding shares of Trax USA Corp. (“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 purchase price was paid at closing except for $12.0 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 post-closing adjustments for working capital and indebtedness were finalized in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, resulting in a purchase price reduction of $1.8 million and the release of $3.0 million from escrow. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, an additional $4.4 million was released from escrow. The remaining escrow balance of $5.3 million is expected to be released in fiscal 2026.

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 also required certain of the former owners’ continued employment through December 31, 2024 and is treated as compensation expense within Selling, general and administrative expenses.

We recognized compensation expense of $1.5 million in the three-month period ended August 31, 2024. As of August 31, 2025, we had a contingent consideration liability of $8.1 million, which was classified as Accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We expect to finalize the contingent consideration in fiscal 2026.
