Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you elaborate on the MRO acceleration comments? Is the recovery broad-based or specific to certain markets? A: (Unidentified_2, CEO) The MRO market is experiencing volatility similar to past trends. Airlines initially reduce MRO work to save cash, leveraging spare inventory. However, as aircraft continue flying, especially older fleets, demand eventually rebounds. This recovery is not specific to any market but is a general trend observed over time.
Q: What drove the strong cash flow in the quarter, and how do you view working capital growth going forward? A: (Unidentified_2, CEO) The company has focused on revenue growth, profitability, and now cash flow management. Improved collections and tighter controls have contributed to positive cash flow. We are well-positioned with the right inventories to support market demand and will continue to manage cash flow effectively.
Q: How is the APU strategy progressing, particularly with smaller deals and moving upmarket? A: (Unidentified_2, CEO) The APU strategy is progressing well. We are capturing more market share in historical fleets and winning smaller RFPs on new platforms. This approach is promising and reflects in the growth of our backlog and long-term agreements.
Q: Can you provide more color on the current dynamics in the APU market, especially regarding spares and maintenance? A: (Unidentified_2, CEO) The APU market is global, with airlines maintaining spare engines to manage short-term needs. Typically, airlines do not perform minimal repairs but wait until spare pools are low before sending engines for full repair. This behavior leads to fluctuations in demand.
Q: Regarding M&A, are there specific capabilities or products you are targeting to expand your portfolio? A: (Unidentified_2, CEO) We aim to stay close to our existing capabilities while expanding into more mechanical systems and components. Our strategy focuses on being meaningful to customers by consolidating vendor lists and adding capabilities, particularly in MRO and OEM areas.
