Strategic Vision and Growth Plans

• Vision 2027 targets $950M+ revenue, 18% EBITDA margin, and engineered products at 25% of revenue, with defense-driven growth and a 6–7% CAGR from 2022–2027.

• Vision 2032 aims for $1.6–$1.7B revenue, 23% EBITDA margin (+600bps over 2026), engineered products at 40% of revenue, and aftermarket at 20%, with 7–8% organic CAGR and 10–11% total CAGR including acquisitions.

• Organic growth is prioritized in engineered products and aftermarket, supported by strong engineering teams and new product development.

• Missile and radar businesses are expected to grow at mid-teens CAGR, driven by major new orders and framework agreements.

• Commercial aerospace is projected to grow 6–7% organically, with increased content on key platforms like the 737 MAX and A320neo.

M&A Strategy and Financial Discipline

• M&A focus is on acquiring engineered product businesses with design IP, sole-source positions, and low capital intensity, with acquisition size capability expanded to $500M and a new $450M credit facility.

• M&A pipeline is active, with both tuck-in and larger platform deals expected; financing will favor debt but may include equity for transformative opportunities.

• Past acquisitions have delivered strong returns, reducing purchase multiples and achieving double-digit ROIC.

• The company is building out its M&A team and proprietary deal pipeline to accelerate execution.

• Strong cash generation and working capital improvements support M&A and organic growth.

Operational Excellence and Margin Expansion

• EBITDA margin has expanded by 700bps since 2016, reaching 17.2% in LTM Q2 2026, with gross margin up 900bps, driven by improved revenue mix and value-based pricing.

• Margin expansion will continue through engineered product growth, repricing of long-term agreements, and operating leverage from higher volumes.

• Minimal additional CapEx is required to support growth, as prior investments have established sufficient capacity.

• Proprietary processes and niche manufacturing capabilities provide pricing power and customer loyalty.

• Ongoing focus on operational efficiency, automation, and value pricing to sustain and grow margins.
