Acquisitions	Note 2 – Acquisitions ​ 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 maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“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. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of $21.0 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2024. ​ In connection with the acquisition, we secured commitments for a bridge financing facility (the “Bridge Facility”). No amounts were drawn under the Bridge Facility, which was terminated on March 1, 2024 upon securing permanent debt financing and closing the acquisition. We expensed $6.1 million within Interest expense in fiscal 2024 for the fees associated with the Bridge Facility. ​ 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. The amounts recorded for certain assets and liabilities are preliminary in nature and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about their acquisition date fair values. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and will likely change in future periods as fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are finalized, including those primarily related to working capital, rotable assets, property and equipment, and taxes. 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: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Accounts receivable $ 42.3 Contract assets ​ 19.1 Inventory ​ 68.3 Rotable assets ​ 21.0 Property & equipment ​ 40.7 Intangible assets ​ ​ 179.0 Investment in joint venture ​ ​ 17.9 Other assets ​ ​ 4.1 Accounts payable ​ ​ (21.6) Other liabilities ​ (14.8) Net assets acquired ​ 356.0 Goodwill ​ 364.0 Purchase price, net of cash acquired ​ $ 720.0 ​ Acquired amortizable intangible assets include customer relationships of $95.7 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 ongoing 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. During the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2024, we recognized $2.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of integration expenses, including facility closure costs, severance, retention and other costs. ​ 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 three-month period ended November 30, 2023, resulting in a purchase price reduction of $1.8 million. ​ 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 $0.6 million and $1.4 million in the three-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.1 million and $2.8 million in the six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of November 30, 2024, we have a contingent consideration liability of $10.7 million which was classified as Accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We expect to finalize the contingent consideration before the end of fiscal 2025.

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued Operations	Note 3 – Discontinued Operations ​ During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we decided to pursue the sale of our Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (“COCO”) business previously included in our Expeditionary Services segment. Due to this strategic shift, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of our COCO business have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to our continuing operations. ​ Following the sale of the last operating contract of the COCO business in 2020, our continuing involvement in the COCO business is limited to the lease of certain aircraft which is an obligation of the acquirer of the COCO business. The assets and liabilities of our discontinued operations are primarily comprised of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease-related liabilities. ​

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition	6 Months Ended
	Nov. 30, 2024
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition	Note 4 – Revenue Recognition ​ Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. ​ Our unit of accounting for revenue recognition is a performance obligation included in our customer contracts. A performance obligation reflects the distinct good or service that we must transfer to a customer. At contract inception, we evaluate if the contract should be accounted for as a single performance obligation or if the contract contains multiple performance obligations. In some cases, our contract with the customer is considered one performance obligation as it includes factors such as whether the good or service being provided is significantly integrated with other promises in the contract, whether the service provided significantly modifies or customizes another good or service or whether the good or service is highly interdependent or interrelated. If the contract has more than one performance obligation, we determine the standalone price of each distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation and allocate the transaction price based on their relative standalone selling prices. The transaction price of a contract, which can include both fixed and variable amounts, is allocated to each performance obligation identified. Some contracts contain variable consideration, which could include incremental fees or penalty provisions related to performance. Variable consideration that can be reasonably estimated based on current assumptions and historical information is included in the transaction price at the inception of the contract but limited to the amount that is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Variable consideration that cannot be reasonably estimated is recorded when known. ​ Our performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time based on transfer of control of products and services to our customers. The majority of our sales from products typically represent distinct performance obligations and are recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. In connection with certain sales of products, we also provide logistics services, which include inventory management, replenishment, and other related services. The price of such services is generally included in the price of the products delivered to the customer, and revenues are recognized upon delivery of the product, at which point the customer has obtained control of the product. We do not account for these services separate from the related product sales as the services are inputs required to fulfill part orders received from customers. ​ For our performance obligations that are satisfied over time, we measure progress in a manner that depicts the performance of transferring control to the customer. As such, we utilize the input method of cost-to-cost to recognize revenue over time as this depicts when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to date to the estimated total cost at completion of the performance obligation. ​ We are required to make certain judgments and estimates, including estimated revenues and costs, as well as inflation and the overall profitability of the arrangement. Key assumptions involved can include customer volume, future labor costs and efficiencies, repair or overhaul costs, overhead costs, and ultimate timing of product delivery. Differences may occur between the judgments and estimates made by management and actual program results. For contracts that are deemed to be loss contracts, we establish forward loss reserves for total estimated costs that are in excess of total estimated consideration in the period in which they become known. ​ We utilize the portfolio approach to estimate the amount of revenue to recognize for certain contracts which require over-time revenue recognition. Such contracts are grouped together either by revenue stream, customer or product line with each portfolio of contracts grouped together based on having similar characteristics. The portfolio approach is utilized only when the result of the accounting is not expected to be materially different than if applied to individual contracts. ​ We also may enter into offset agreements or conditions as part of obtaining orders for our products and services from certain government customers in foreign countries. These agreements are designed to enhance the social and economic environment of the foreign country by requiring the contractor to promote investment in the country. These agreements also may be satisfied through our use of cash or other means of providing financial support for in-country projects with local companies. The amounts ultimately applied against our offset agreements are based on negotiations with the customer and satisfaction of our offset obligations are included in the estimates of our total costs to complete the contract. When contracts are modified, we consider whether the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications that are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration with the original goods or services provided, are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract with the effect of the contract modification recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. When the modifications include additional performance obligations that are distinct, they are accounted for as a new contract and performance obligation, which are recognized prospectively. Certain contracts with customers have options for the customer to acquire additional goods or services. In most cases, the pricing of these options are reflective of the standalone selling price of the good or service. These options do not provide the customer with a material right and are accounted for only when the customer exercises the option to purchase the additional goods or services. If the option on the customer contract was not indicative of the standalone selling price of the good or service, the material right would be accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Under most of our U.S. government contracts, if the contract is terminated for convenience, we are entitled to payment for items delivered and fair compensation for work performed, the costs of settling and paying other claims, and a reasonable profit on the costs incurred or committed. ​ In the ordinary course of business, agencies of the U.S. and other governments audit our claimed indirect costs and conduct inquiries and investigations of our business practices with respect to government contracts to determine whether our operations are conducted in accordance with these requirements and the terms of the relevant contracts. U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), routinely audit our claimed indirect costs, for compliance with the Cost Accounting Standards and the Federal Acquisition Regulations. These agencies also conduct reviews and investigations and make inquiries regarding our accounting and other systems in connection with our performance and business practices with respect to our government contracts and subcontracts. ​ Costs to fulfill and obtain a contract are considered for capitalization based on contract specific facts and circumstances. The incremental costs to fulfill a contract, including setup and implementation costs prior to beginning the period of performance, may be capitalized when expenses are incurred prior to the start of satisfying a performance obligation. The capitalized costs are subsequently expensed over the contract’s period of performance. ​ We have elected to use certain practical expedients permitted under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ​ Cumulative Catch-up Adjustments ​ Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our arrangements accounted for using the cost-to-cost method are recorded using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. These changes are primarily adjustments to the estimated profitability for our long-term programs where we provide component inventory management, supply chain logistics programs, and/or repair services. ​ For the three-month period ended November 30, 2024, we recognized no cumulative Contract Assets and Liabilities ​ The timing of revenue recognition, customer billings, and cash collections results in a contract asset or contract liability at the end of each reporting period. For instances where we recognize revenue prior to having an unconditional right to payment, we record a contract asset or liability. When an unconditional right to consideration exists, we reduce our contract asset or liability and recognize an unbilled or trade receivable. When amounts are dependent on factors other than the passage of time in order for payment from a customer to be due, we record a contract asset which consists of costs incurred where revenue recognized over time using the cost-to-cost model exceeds the amounts billed to customers. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Certain customers make advance payments prior to the satisfaction of our performance obligations on the contract. These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such performance obligations are satisfied, either over time as costs are incurred or at a point in time when deliveries are made. Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract-by-contract basis. ​ Net contract assets and liabilities are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ November 30, ​ May 31, ​ ​ ​ ​ 2024 2024 Change Contract assets – current ​ $ 150.2 ​ $ 123.2 ​ $ 27.0 Contract assets – non-current ​ ​ 27.6 ​ ​ 24.6 ​ ​ 3.0 Contract liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Deferred revenue – current ​ ​ (25.7) ​ ​ (14.7) ​ ​ (11.0) Deferred revenue on long-term contracts ​ ​ (3.9) ​ (7.2) ​ 3.3 Net contract assets ​ $ 148.2 ​ $ 125.9 ​ $ 22.3 ​ Contract assets – non-current is reported within Other non-current assets, contract liabilities – current is reported within Accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue on long-term contracts is reported within Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing difference between our performance of services and payments from customers. ​ During fiscal 2024, we experienced delayed collections from one of our significant regional airline customers and issued the customer a Notice of Payment and Other Defaults during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 to request payment and reserve our rights under our agreements. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we terminated a power-by-the-hour (“PBH”) program with this customer which resulted in a net termination charge of $4.8 million. The charge included a reduction in contract assets and revenue of $7.8 million and the establishment ​ We currently expect full payment from the customer of all amounts due under the terminated agreement and all other agreements and do not believe a reserve for credit loss is warranted. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 30, 2024 included accounts receivable of $15.1 million, including $7.3 million past due, and contract assets of $13.3 million related to this customer. ​ During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our Mobility business received a stop-work order from our U.S. Government customer on the Next Generation Pallet contract as the program was terminated for convenience by the customer. Under the conditions for the termination for convenience, we have the right to submit a proposal for recovery of our incurred costs. In conjunction with the termination, we expensed equipment and inventory of $12.7 million and recognized a contract asset of $9.5 million reflecting the estimated recovery on our incurred costs. We expect to submit our proposal to the customer in early calendar year 2025. ​ Changes in our deferred revenue were as follows for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ​ ​ November 30, ​ November 30, ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 Deferred revenue at beginning of period ​ $ (28.2) ​ $ (37.1) ​ $ (21.9) ​ $ (32.4) Revenue deferred ​ ​ (85.6) ​ ​ (69.4) ​ (170.0) ​ (136.2) Revenue recognized ​ ​ 87.5 ​ ​ 81.3 ​ 161.7 ​ 142.4 Other (1) ​ ​ (3.3) ​ ​ (1.2) ​ 0.6 ​ (0.2) Deferred revenue at end of period ​ $ (29.6) ​ $ (26.4) ​ $ (29.6) ​ $ (26.4) (1) Other includes cumulative catch-up adjustments, foreign currency translation, and other adjustments. ​ Remaining Performance Obligations ​ As of November 30, 2024, we had approximately $670 million of remaining performance obligations, also referred to as firm backlog, which excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under our indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts. We expect that approximately 70% of this backlog will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months, an additional 25% of the backlog over the following 12 months, and the balance thereafter. The amount of remaining performance obligations that are expected to be recognized as revenue beyond 12 months primarily relates to our long-term programs where we provide component inventory management, supply chain logistics programs, and/or repair services. ​ Disaggregation of Revenue ​ Third-party sales across the major customer markets for each of our operating segments for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ November 30, November 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 Parts Supply: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial ​ $ 220.8 ​ $ 189.4 ​ $ 431.2 ​ $ 395.4 Government and defense ​ ​ 52.9 ​ ​ 38.2 ​ 92.2 ​ 69.0 ​ ​ $ 273.7 ​ $ 227.6 ​ $ 523.4 ​ $ 464.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Repair & Engineering: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial ​ $ 206.7 ​ $ 130.9 ​ $ 397.9 ​ $ 252.5 Government and defense ​ ​ 22.1 ​ ​ 14.5 ​ 48.5 ​ 30.4 ​ ​ $ 228.8 ​ $ 145.4 ​ $ 446.4 ​ $ 282.9 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Integrated Solutions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial ​ $ 72.0 ​ $ 63.4 ​ $ 142.0 ​ $ 126.2 Government and defense ​ ​ 91.4 ​ ​ 93.2 ​ 190.3 ​ 186.7 ​ ​ $ 163.4 ​ $ 156.6 ​ $ 332.3 ​ $ 312.9 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Expeditionary Services: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial ​ $ 0.7 ​ $ 1.5 ​ $ 2.0 ​ $ 3.6 Government and defense ​ ​ 19.5 ​ ​ 14.3 ​ 43.7 ​ 31.3 ​ ​ $ 20.2 ​ $ 15.8 ​ $ 45.7 ​ $ 34.9 ​ Consolidated sales by geographic region for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ ​ November 30, ​ November 30, ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 U.S./Canada $ 500.4 ​ $ 405.4 $ 973.8 ​ $ 814.3 Europe/Africa ​ ​ 108.8 ​ ​ 81.8 ​ ​ 217.6 ​ ​ 173.2 Asia/South Pacific ​ ​ 65.6 ​ ​ 44.9 ​ ​ 129.6 ​ ​ 86.1 Other ​ ​ 11.3 ​ ​ 13.3 ​ ​ 26.8 ​ ​ 21.5 ​ ​ $ 686.1 ​ $ 545.4 ​ $ 1,347.8 ​ $ 1,095.1 ​

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation	Note 6 – Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ​ Restricted Stock ​ In the three-month period ended August 31, 2024, as part of our annual long-term stock incentive compensation, we granted 124,200 shares of performance-based restricted stock and 72,955 shares of time-based restricted stock to eligible employees. The grant date fair value per share for these shares was $67.02 (the closing price per share of our common stock on the grant date). We also granted 19,010 shares of time-based restricted stock to members of the Board of Directors with a grant date fair value per share of $70.99 (the closing price per share of our common stock on the grant date). ​ Expenses charged to operations for restricted stock during the three-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 was $4.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and during the six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 was $8.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Stock Options ​ In the three-month period ended August 31, 2024, as part of our annual long-term stock incentive compensation, we granted 157,310 stock options to eligible employees at an exercise price per share of $67.02 and grant date fair value per share of $25.51.

(“Purchaser”) for the sale, from time to time, of certain accounts receivable due from certain customers (the “Purchase Agreement”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the maximum amount of receivables sold is limited to $150 million and Purchaser may, but is not required to, purchase the eligible receivables we offer to sell. The term of the Purchase Agreement runs through February 22, 2025, but, the Purchase Agreement may also be terminated earlier under certain circumstances. The term of the Purchase Agreement shall be automatically extended for annual terms unless either party provides advance notice that they do not intend to extend the term. ​ We have no retained interests in the sold receivables, other than limited recourse obligations in certain circumstances, and only perform collection and administrative functions for the Purchaser. We account for these receivable transfers as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing ​ During the six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, we sold $111.1 million and $72.6 million, respectively, of receivables under the Purchase Agreement and remitted $100.9 million and $71.7 million, respectively, to the Purchaser on their behalf. As of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, we had collected cash of $11.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which was not yet remitted to the Purchaser as of those dates and was classified as Restricted cash on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. ​ We recognize discounts on the sale of our receivables and other fees related to the Purchase Agreement in Other expense, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We incurred discounts on the sale of our receivables of $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the three-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Among other things, the Revolver Amendment (i) increased the aggregate commitments under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility to $825 million from $620 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) increased the maximum leverage ratio permitted under the financial covenants applicable to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and (iii) included an additional pricing level that will increase the applicable interest rate margins on the Amended Revolving Credit Facility to 250 basis points (in the case of secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”)) and 150 basis points (in the case of Base Rate loans as defined in the Revolver Amendment) if our Adjusted Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio as defined in the Revolver Amendment exceeds 3.75:1.00. ​ Under certain circumstances, we may request an increase to the lending commitments under the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount of up to $300 million, not to exceed $1,125 million in total. The Credit Agreement expires on December 14, 2027. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at an applicable variable rate based on SOFR plus 112.5 to 250 basis points based on certain financial measurements plus 10 basis points if a SOFR loan, or at the offered fluctuating Base Rate plus 12.5 to 150 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Base Rate loan. ​ Borrowings outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility at November 30, 2024 were $447.0 million and there were approximately $9.7 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduced the availability of this facility to $368.3 million. ​ Our Credit Agreement requires us to comply with leverage and interest coverage ratios and comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including those relating to financial reporting and notification, compliance with applicable laws, and limitations on additional liens, indebtedness, acquisitions, investments and disposition of assets. Our Credit Agreement also requires our significant domestic subsidiaries to provide a guarantee of payment under the Credit Agreement. ​ Senior Notes ​ On March 1, 2024, we issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of the Product Support business. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of March 1, 2024, between us and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”), as trustee, and a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 1, 2024 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among us, the Note Guarantors (as defined below) and the Trustee. ​ Our domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Amended Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, the “Note Guarantors”) guaranteed (the “Note Guarantees”) all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture. The Notes and the Note Guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). ​ The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year, payable semiannually in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2024. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2029. At any time prior to March 15, 2026, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date plus an applicable “make-whole” premium. At any time prior to March 15, 2026, the Company may also redeem up to 40% of the Notes with net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.75% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after March 15, 2026, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2026 103.375 % 2027 101.688 % 2028 and thereafter 100.000 % ​ The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of the Note Guarantors. The Notes and the Note Guarantees are the general unsecured obligations of us or each of the Note Guarantors and, as applicable, (i) rank equal in right of payment to all of our or such Note Guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) rank senior in right of payment to all of our or such Note Guarantor’s obligations that are, by their terms expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, (iii) are effectively subordinated to all of our or such Note Guarantor’s secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and (iv) in the case of the Note Guarantees, are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not Note Guarantors. ​ The Indenture contains customary covenants, including limitations on the ability of us and our restricted subsidiaries to (i) incur debt, certain disqualified stock and preferred stock, (ii) create liens, (iii) pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase equity, (iv) prepay subordinated debt or make certain investments, (v) transfer and sell assets, (vi) engage in consolidations, mergers or dispositions of all or substantially all of our or their assets, (vii) enter into agreements that restrict dividends, loans and other distributions from subsidiaries and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications described in the Indenture. In addition, the Indenture contains a number of customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Notes and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. ​ At November 30, 2024, our variable and fixed rate debt had a fair value that approximates their carrying values and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair values are determined based upon one or more significant unobservable inputs. ​ At November 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the financial and other covenants in our financing agreements.

We had also guaranteed 40% of the Indian joint venture’s debt and each of the partners in the Indian joint venture had a loan to the joint venture proportionate to its equity ownership. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we executed a Share Purchase Agreement with our Indian joint venture partners whereby we agreed to sell our equity to those partners for $0.1 million conditional on the repayment of our loan and the release of our guarantee of the Indian joint venture’s debt. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we were released from our debt guarantee obligations and de-recognized the related $9.4 million guarantee liability. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we received $2.1 million reflecting the principal value of our shareholder loan. In conjunction with these transactions, the Share Purchase Agreement, and transition services arrangements, we recognized a gain of $2.1 million related to our exit from the joint venture in the six months period ended November 30, 2024. Investment in AAR Sumisho Aviation Services (ASAS) Our investments in joint ventures include a 50% ownership interest in a joint venture to provide aviation aftermarket supply chain solutions to Japanese defense and global commercial markets. Each of the partners in the ASAS joint venture have provided financial guarantees to third-parties to guarantee the payments for ASAS’s financing arrangements, including inventory purchases. No liabilities have been recognized on the outstanding guarantees. We are unable to estimate our maximum exposure under these guarantees as they are largely dependent on the volume of inventory purchase orders outstanding. ​ Our sales to the ASAS JV, including service fees earned by us on providing support to the ASAS JV, were $1.2 million and $0.4 million during the three-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.9 million and $0.6 million during the six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. ​ Investments in Aircraft Joint Ventures ​ Under the terms of servicing agreements with certain of our aircraft joint ventures, we provide administrative services and technical advisory services, including aircraft evaluations, oversight and logistical support of the maintenance process and records management. We also provide evaluation and inspection services prior to the purchase of an aircraft and remarketing services with respect to the divestiture of aircraft by the joint ventures. During the three-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, we received $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for such services. During the six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, we received $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for such services.

Defined Benefit Pension Settlement	Note 13 – Defined Benefit Pension Settlement During the three-month period ended August 31, 2023, we settled all future obligations under our frozen U.S. defined benefit retirement plan (the “U.S. Retirement Plan”). The settlement included a combination of lump-sum payments to participants who elected to receive them and the transfer of the remaining benefit obligations to a third-party insurance company under group annuity contracts. The purchase of the group annuity contracts was funded directly by assets of the U.S. Retirement Plan and required no additional cash or asset contributions from us. As a result of the settlements, we recognized a non-cash, pre-tax pension settlement charge of $26.7 million ($16.1 million after-tax) related to the accelerated recognition of all unamortized net actuarial losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. ​ Surplus plan assets remained after the settlement and have been primarily used to fund certain contributions associated with one of our qualified 401(k) plans. Surplus plan assets not used for these 401(k) contributions would be subject to a 20% excise tax upon withdrawal. As of November 30, 2024, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included $3.5 million of remaining surplus plan assets, and we expect to utilize the assets over the next twelve months to fund our non-elective, discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan.

Business Segment Information	Note 15 – Business Segment Information ​ Our operating segments are comprised of: ​ ● Parts Supply, primarily consisting of our sales of used serviceable engine and airframe parts and components and distribution of new parts; ● Repair & Engineering, primarily consisting of our MRO services across airframes and components, including landing gear; ● Integrated Solutions, primarily consisting of our fleet management and operations of customer-owned aircraft, customized performance-based supply chain logistics programs in support of the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of State, and foreign governments, flight hour component inventory and repair programs for commercial airlines, and integrated software solutions, including Trax; and ● Expeditionary Services, primarily consisting of products and services supporting the movement of equipment and personnel by the U.S. and foreign governments and non-governmental organizations with sales derived from the engineering, design, integration, and manufacture of pallets, shelters, and containers. ​ The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2024. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of products, including material used in manufacturing operations, direct labor, and overhead. ​ The Company has not aggregated operating segments for purposes of identifying reportable segments. Inter-segment sales are recorded at fair value, which results in intercompany profit on inter-segment sales that is eliminated in consolidation. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses include centralized functions such as legal, finance, treasury and human resources with a portion of the costs allocated to our operating segments. ​ Selected financial information for each segment is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended November 30, 2024 ​ ​ Third-Party Inter-segment Total ​ ​ Sales ​ Sales ​ Sales Parts Supply $ 273.7 $ 2.7 $ 276.4 Repair & Engineering ​ 228.8 ​ 21.2 ​ 250.0 Integrated Solutions ​ 163.4 ​ 0.3 ​ 163.7 Expeditionary Services ​ 20.2 ​ — ​ 20.2 ​ ​ $ 686.1 ​ $ 24.2 ​ $ 710.3 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended November 30, 2023 ​ ​ Third-Party Inter-segment Total ​ ​ Sales ​ Sales ​ Sales Parts Supply $ 227.6 $ 1.8 $ 229.4 Repair & Engineering ​ 145.4 ​ 22.1 ​ 167.5 Integrated Solutions ​ 156.6 ​ (0.7) ​ 155.9 Expeditionary Services ​ 15.8 ​ — ​ 15.8 ​ ​ $ 545.4 ​ $ 23.2 ​ $ 568.6 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Six Months Ended November 30, 2024 ​ ​ Third-Party Inter-segment Total ​ ​ Sales ​ Sales ​ Sales Parts Supply ​ $ 523.4 ​ $ 5.2 ​ $ 528.6 Repair & Engineering ​ 446.4 ​ 43.8 ​ 490.2 Integrated Solutions ​ 332.3 ​ 0.6 ​ 332.9 Expeditionary Services ​ 45.7 ​ — ​ 45.7 ​ ​ $ 1,347.8 ​ $ 49.6 ​ $ 1,397.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Six Months Ended November 30, 2023 ​ ​ Third-Party Inter-segment Total ​ ​ Sales ​ Sales ​ Sales Parts Supply ​ $ 464.4 ​ $ 2.6 ​ $ 467.0 Repair & Engineering ​ 282.9 ​ 41.6 ​ 324.5 Integrated Solutions ​ 312.9 ​ 0.4 ​ 313.3 Expeditionary Services ​ 34.9 ​ — ​ 34.9 ​ ​ $ 1,095.1 ​ $ 44.6 ​ $ 1,139.7 ​ ​ The following table reconciles segment operating income (loss) to income (loss) before income taxes: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ November 30, November 30, ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 Segment operating income: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Parts Supply ​ $ 31.6 ​ $ 28.4 ​ $ 61.7 ​ $ 43.5 Repair & Engineering ​ ​ 22.8 ​ ​ 11.3 ​ ​ 43.9 ​ ​ 20.4 Integrated Solutions ​ ​ 6.5 ​ ​ 6.4 ​ ​ 14.2 ​ ​ 14.1 Expeditionary Services ​ ​ 2.2 ​ ​ 0.9 ​ ​ 0.5 ​ ​ 2.2 ​ ​ ​ 63.1 ​ ​ 47.0 ​ ​ 120.3 ​ ​ 80.2 Corporate and other ​ ​ (65.4) ​ ​ (8.7) ​ ​ (79.2) ​ ​ (16.6) Operating income (loss) ​ ​ (2.3) ​ ​ 38.3 ​ ​ 41.1 ​ ​ 63.6 Pension settlement charge ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ (26.7) Losses related to sale and exit of business ​ ​ (1.2) ​ ​ (0.9) ​ ​ (1.3) ​ ​ (1.6) Other expense, net ​ ​ (0.2) ​ ​ (0.1) ​ ​ (0.3) ​ ​ (0.1) Interest expense ​ ​ (19.3) ​ ​ (6.2) ​ ​ (38.1) ​ ​ (12.0) Interest income ​ ​ 0.5 ​ ​ 0.6 ​ ​ 1.0 ​ ​ 1.0 Income (Loss) before income taxes ​ $ (22.5) ​ $ 31.7 ​ $ 2.4 ​ $ 24.2 ​

Legal Proceedings

Legal Proceedings
Legal Proceedings	Note 16 – Legal Proceedings ​ We are involved in various claims and legal actions, including environmental matters, arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding (including any governmental or environmental proceeding) other than routine litigation incidental to our business except for the following: ​ Russian Bankruptcy Litigation ​ During calendar years 2016 and 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company purchased four engines from VIM-AVIA Airlines, LLC (“VIM-AVIA”), a company organized in Russia. Subsequent to the purchase of the engines, VIM-AVIA declared bankruptcy in Russian courts, and shortly thereafter the receiver of the VIM-AVIA bankruptcy estate (“Receiver”) and one of the major creditors of VIM-AVIA filed a claw-back action in the Arbitration Court of the Russian Republic of Tartarstan (the “Russian Trial Court”) against our subsidiaries alleging that the contracts entered into with VIM-AVIA in the 2016-2017 timeframe are invalid. The clawback action alleged that our subsidiaries owe the VIM-AVIA bankruptcy estate approximately $13 million, the alleged fair market value of the four engines at the time of sale. ​ On March 3, 2023, the Russian Trial Court awarded a $1.8 million judgment against the Company relating to one engine, and dismissed all the other claims against the Company relating to the three remaining engines. The Company recognized a corresponding charge of $1.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company thereafter appealed the $1.8 million judgment entered against it by the Russian Trial Court. The receiver and the creditor thereafter appealed to the Russian Trial Court’s judgment dismissing their claims relating to the remaining three engines. ​ On September 26, 2023, the Russian Eleventh Arbitration Court of Appeal (the “Russian Appellate Court”) issued an order (i) affirming the Russian Trial Court’s adverse judgment against the Company relating to one of the four engines; (ii) reversing the Russian Trial Court’s dismissal of the claims relating to the remaining three engines; and (iii) awarding a judgment against the Company in the total amount of $13.0 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recognized a charge for $11.2 million representing the judgment against the Company for the remaining three engines. ​ On October 25, 2023, the Company petitioned the Russian Court of Cassation for leave to obtain the Russian Court of Cassation’s appellate review of the Russian Appellate Court’s order of September 26, 2023. On November 13, 2023, the Russian Court of Cassation granted the Company’s petition. On January 31, 2024, the Russian Court of Cassation (i) reversed the Russian Appellate Court’s order of September 26, 2023; (ii) vacated in its entirety the judgment that had been entered by the Russian Appellate Court on September 26, 2023; and (iii) remanded the clawback action to the Russian Appellate Court to determine whether certain extraordinary circumstances specified by the Russian Cassation Court existed warranting the invalidation of the disputed contracts and the entry of an adverse judgment against the Company. ​ On July 11, 2024, the Russian Appellate Court issued its full ruling, similar to the adverse judgment it entered on September 26, 2023, invalidating the disputed contracts in the amount of approximately $13 million. ​ On August 9, 2024, the Company appealed the July 11, 2024 ruling to the Russian Court of Cassation. On October 11, 2024, the Russian Court of Cassation issued its ruling. In its ruling, the Russian Court of Cassation in effect: (i) affirmed the $1.8 million judgment against the Company relating to one of the four engines; and (ii) reversed the $11.2 million judgment against the Company relating to the remaining three engines. ​ On December 9, 2024, the Company filed an appeal to the Russian Supreme Court requesting the reversal of that portion of the Russian Court of Cassation’s October 11, 2024 ruling that affirmed the $1.8 million judgment against the Company. The Receiver of the VIM-AVIA bankruptcy estate also filed an appeal to the Russian Supreme Court requesting the reversal of that portion of the Russian Court of Cassation’s October 11, 2024 ruling that vacated the $11.2 million judgment that had been entered against the Company. The Russian Supreme Court may, in its discretion, accept or not accept either or both appeals for review. The deadline for the Russian Supreme Court to decide whether to accept either or both appeals for review is February 11, 2025. ​ The Company will continue to strongly dispute all claims asserted in the clawback action. The Company believes that the Russian Court’s affirmance of the $1.8 million judgment against the Company, which judgment concerns one of the four engines, was a result of, among other things, a hostile business and legal environment for foreign companies in Russia, which has been caused by developments in the Russia/Ukraine conflict, including the imposition of a range of sanctions and export controls on Russian entities and individuals by the U.S. and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies. The Company’s ability to satisfy the judgment, in whole or in part, or to otherwise settle the Receiver’s claims may be restricted by the Company’s obligation to comply with U.S. trade restrictions likely applicable to undisclosed creditors of the VIM-AVIA bankruptcy estate. Although there can be no assurances, the Company also believes it would have strong defenses to any attempt that may be made to recognize and enforce outside of Russia any adverse judgment that may be entered against it in further proceedings before the Russian courts. As of November 30, 2024, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included a liability for the matter of $13.0 million classified as long-term in Other liabilities. If the Russian Supreme Court declines to accept the appeals filed by the Receiver and the Company, the October 11, 2024 ruling and judgment of the Russian Cassation Court will become final, and the Company will expect to de-recognize $11.2 million of this $13.0 million liability. ​ Performance Guarantee ​ In conjunction with the fiscal 2021 sale of our Composites business, we retained a performance guarantee to a customer of the Composites business (the “Customer”) under an existing contract providing flap track fairings on the A220 aircraft (“A220 Contract”). The term of the A220 Contract and our performance guarantee extend for the duration that A220 aircraft are in service and the customer continues to maintain support for the A220 aircraft. The performance guarantee does not contain a financial cap. In March 2022, the buyer of the Composites business (the “Buyer”) filed for bankruptcy and moved to have the bankruptcy court reject the A220 Contract. The Customer also notified us that it believes the Buyer has failed to timely deliver products in accordance with the terms of the A220 Contract and that the Customer has incurred losses related to the asserted non-compliance that the Customer believes is covered by our performance guarantee. To date, the Customer has provided us with limited details in support of the extent of the Customer’s claimed losses with respect to the A220 Contract and its contention that we may be responsible under our performance guarantee to reimburse the Customer for any portion of its claimed losses. The Customer filed suit against us during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 claiming damages of at least $32 million. In this regard, while we are continuing to seek additional detail around the facts and legal basis underlying the claim for losses the Customer attributed to the A220 Contract and the Customer’s corresponding claim under the performance guarantee, we strongly disagree with the premise of the Customer’s claim based on the information available and known to us at this time, and we believe that we have numerous defenses available against this claim that we will vigorously pursue. While it is reasonably possible that we will incur a loss from the claim under the performance guarantee, we are unable to estimate the range of loss on this claim. There can be no assurance that the Customer’s claim under the performance guarantee will not have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial position and cash flows. ​ Self-Reporting of Potential Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Violations ​ As previously disclosed, in 2019, the Company retained outside counsel to investigate possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) relating to certain transactions in Nepal and South Africa that were signed in 2016 and 2017. Based on these investigations, in 2019, the Company self-reported these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the SEC, and the U.K. Serious Fraud Office. ​ On December 19, 2024, after cooperating with the DOJ’s and SEC’s investigations, the Company reached resolutions with the DOJ and the SEC regarding the aforementioned matters. ​ The Company agreed to the terms contained in a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the DOJ, dated December 19, 2024 (the “NPA”), for an 18-month term. Pursuant to the NPA, among other terms, the Company paid a penalty of $26.3 million and forfeiture of $18.6 million, the latter of which was credited in full against the disgorgement paid to the SEC as outlined below. The DOJ agreed that it will not prosecute the Company for conduct described in the NPA provided that the Company complies with the terms of the NPA for the 18-month term. ​ The SEC approved the Company’s Offer of Settlement and issued its Cease-and-Desist Order (the “SEC Order”) dated December 19, 2024 with respect to certain violations of the anti-bribery, books and records, and internal accounting controls provisions of the FCPA. Pursuant to the terms of the SEC Order, the Company paid disgorgement of $23.5 million and prejudgment interest of $5.8 million to the SEC and agreed to cease and desist any violations of the anti-bribery, books and records and internal accounting control provisions of the FCPA. ​ The total amount payable under the NPA and SEC Order is $55.6 million, which was recognized as a charge within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. ​ Enforcement Proceeding in Nepal ​ As previously disclosed, the Company became aware via news reports that Nepal’s Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (“CIAA”) apparently initiated a criminal proceeding in April 2024 against over 35 entities and individuals, including AAR International, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company. The charges alleged violations of Nepalese public procurement law and were related to the same transactions in Nepal in 2016 to 2017 that the Company previously self-reported to U.S. and U.K. authorities, as described above. The proceeding also named a former AAR International, Inc. employee, as well as John Holmes in his capacity as president of AAR International, Inc. at the time of the alleged conduct. Neither AAR International, Inc. nor Mr. Holmes were served personally by the CIAA, though a June 3, 2024 summons published in the Nepalese press purported to instruct all named individuals and entities to appear before the Special Court in Nepal within 30 days. ​ AAR International, Inc. does not accept or admit these charges, and neither AAR International, Inc. nor Mr. Holmes appeared before the Special Court for several reasons including because the Company believes that any proceedings before the Special Court lacks appropriate due process protections. ​ Based on news reports and a summary judgment from the Nepalese court, we understand that several defendants were convicted in connection with the charges, including AAR International, Inc. The conviction against AAR International, Inc. purportedly carries a fine of approximately $0.9 million as well as a prison sentence of 1.5 years. We understand that Mr. Holmes was not personally convicted, but because under Nepalese law it is the responsibility of the company’s principal business executive to accept the sentence of the company, Mr. Holmes has been assigned the company’s sentence by the court. The Company does not currently intend to participate in the proceedings, and does not intend to pay the fine, believing the proceedings and outcome lack due process. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, financial position, or cash flows. We have recognized a liability for the $0.9 million fine in the three-month period ended November 30, 2024.

Subsequent Event	Note 17 – Subsequent Event ​ On December 19, 2024, we entered into an agreement to divest our Landing Gear Overhaul (“LGO”) business to GA Telesis for $51 million subject to post-closing adjustments for working capital, cash, and debt. The sale is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2025, subject to customary and regulatory closing conditions. ​ In connection with the decision to exit the LGO business, the LGO business will be presented as held for sale beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. We will recognize a non-cash, pre-tax loss of approximately $60 million in the fiscal third quarter ending February 28, 2025 reflecting the adjustment of LGO’s carrying value to its fair value less costs to sell. As of November 30, 2024, we had not committed to a plan to sell the LGO business and significant uncertainty remained as to whether a sale would take place as of that date.
