Quarter Highlights
Net sales increased, reflecting robust growth across all four segments.
Operating margin and adjusted operating margin increased, reflecting profitable sales growth, pricing and operational performance, partially offset by tariff pressure.
Diluted net earnings per share and adjusted diluted net earnings per share, both at record levels, were driven by higher operating margin and higher sales, offset partially by tariff pressure.
Free cash flow improved significantly, driven by strong earnings and working capital management.
Twelve-month backlog increased 33% to a record $3.3 billion, reflecting continued demand across our markets.
Segment Results
Sales in the second quarter of 2026 increased 13% to $1.1 billion. Space and Defense sales increased 16% to $314 million, reflecting broad-based defense demand. Demand was particularly strong for space vehicles and missile controls. Commercial Aircraft sales increased 15% to $247 million, driven by increased volume and pricing on certain major production programs. Military Aircraft sales increased 10% to $235 million, driven by higher activity on the MV-75 program. Industrial sales increased 9% to $256 million, driven by strong demand for data center cooling pumps, as well as favorable foreign currency translation.
Operating margin in the second quarter of 2026 increased 140 basis points to 13.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. Military Aircraft operating margin increased 260 basis points to 13.7%, driven by profitable sales growth. Space and Defense operating margin increased 170 basis points to 13.8%, driven by profitable sales growth, partially offset by increased investments for product development, business capture and operational readiness. Industrial operating margin increased 130 basis points to 12.9%, driven by lower charges associated with simplification initiatives and the benefits from business optimization, partially offset by tariff pressure. Commercial Aircraft operating margin increased 10 basis points to 11.9%, driven by pricing benefits, partially offset by tariff pressure.
Adjusted operating margin excludes $3 million and $7 million of charges primarily associated with simplification initiatives in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Industrial adjusted operating margin decreased 20 basis points to 13.2% in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the second quarter of 2025, as tariff pressure offset simplification benefits.
Free Cash Flow Results
Free cash flow for the quarter was $98 million. Strong earnings contributed to cash generation, while working capital remained relatively constant despite strong sales growth. Inventory growth to support higher sales was largely offset by customer advances. Capital expenditures were $32 million, reflecting continued investment to support future growth.
Fiscal 2026 Financial Guidance
“We had an outstanding second quarter and expect an even stronger business performance in the second half of 2026," said Jennifer Walter, CFO. “We're increasing our 2026 guidance for sales and adjusted earnings per share, and reaffirming our guidance for adjusted operating margin and free cash flow conversion.”

Cautionary Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which can be identified by words such as: “may,” “will,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “expected,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “approximate,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “anticipates,” “presume,” “assume” and other words and terms of similar meaning (including their negative counterparts or other various or comparable terminology). These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are neither historical facts nor guarantees of future performance and are subject to several factors, risks and uncertainties, the impact or occurrence of which could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in the forward-looking statements.
Although it is not possible to create a comprehensive list of all factors that may cause our actual results to differ from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements or that may affect our future results, some of these factors and other risks and uncertainties are described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include, but are not limited to, risks relating to: (i) our operation in highly competitive markets with competitors who may have greater resources than we possess; (ii) our operation in cyclical markets that are sensitive to domestic and foreign economic conditions and events; (iii) current and future geopolitical conditions and events, including wars, armed conflicts, sanctions, trade restrictions and related disruptions to global markets and supply chains; (iv) our heavy dependence on government contracts that may not be fully funded, delayed or terminated; (v) our ability to remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures; (vi) supply chain constraints and inflationary impacts on prices for raw materials and components used in our products; (vii) failure of our subcontractors or suppliers to perform their contractual obligations; (viii) risks related to information systems interruptions, intrusions, cybersecurity threats or new software implementations; and (ix) our accounting estimates for over-time contracts and any changes we may need to make thereto. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this press release in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
While we believe we have identified and discussed in our SEC filings the material risks affecting our business, there may be additional factors, risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial that may affect the forward-looking statements we make herein. Given these factors, risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement made in this press release, except as required by applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The press release also includes certain financial information that is not presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, “Adjusted Operating Margin,” “Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share,” “Adjusted Net Earnings,” “Adjusted Effective Tax Rate,” “Free Cash Flow” and “Free Cash Flow Conversion.” While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating our financial condition and results of operations, this information should be considered supplemental and is not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to operating profit and margin and net earnings per share have included restructuring charges; acquisition- and integration-related costs; gains or losses on investments; asset impairments; litigation and regulatory matters; discrete tax items; changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; foreign exchange gains or losses; and other non-recurring or non-cash items. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying materials.
The press release also includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial guidance, including, but not limited to, “Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings per Share,” “Adjusted Operating Margin” and “Free Cash Flow Conversion". The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because certain items that are material to the comparable GAAP measures are not available and cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty. These items are dependent on future events that are difficult to predict and outside the Company’s control. These items may include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges; acquisition- and integration-related costs; gains or losses on investments; asset impairments; litigation and regulatory matters; discrete tax items; changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; foreign exchange gains or losses; and other non-recurring or non-cash items. The timing and amount of these items may vary significantly from period to period and could have a material impact on the Company’s GAAP results, including, but not limited to, “Diluted Net Earnings per Share” and “Operating Margin”.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities, less purchase of property, plant and equipment, less the benefit from the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings. Free cash flow and free cash flow conversion are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures as used by other companies. However, management believes these adjusted financial measures may be useful in evaluating the liquidity, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Why Smart Money Is Chasing This Defense Tech ShiftFebruary 2, 2026 9:25 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Issued on behalf of VisionWave Holdings, Inc.VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – The global defense playbook is being rewritten in real-time. Sovereign security isn't just about hardware anymore; it relies entirely on the AI systems running the show. This shift is funneling massive capital into a specific sector sweet spot. U.S. Defense tech spending is projected to hit $384 billion in fiscal 2026, a massive 71% jump from 2020 levels as funds rush toward advanced digital platforms[1]. This creates a high-conviction setup for the software backbone: Electronic Design Automation (EDA). This market is expected to reach $33.5 billion by 2033, driven by the AI workflows that cut design cycles from months to weeks[2]. This intersection creates asymmetric upside for the physical technology stack, including VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV), Leidos (NYSE: LDOS), Moog (NYSE: MOG.A, MOG.B), GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE), and Tenable (NASDAQ: TENB).
The momentum extends beyond the battlefield into mission-critical commercial infrastructure. We are watching the hybrid electric aircraft market aggressively scale, projected to surge to $6.74 billion by 2030 as propulsion innovation becomes mandatory for cost reduction[3]. Simultaneously, the regulatory landscape is locking in these gains. The new NIST Cybersecurity Framework Profile for AI has effectively established automated exposure management as the primary value driver for government contractors navigating the 2026 cycle[4]. These structural tailwinds signal a pivotal moment for the companies building the digital architecture of the next decade.VisionWave Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV) just announced a major execution milestone in its joint venture with Boca Jom Ltd., completing the transfer of three comprehensive intellectual property portfolios covering Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. These aren't just patents on paper. The transferred IP includes complete system architectures, source code, algorithm definitions, technical diagrams, detailed development methodologies, and structured development roadmaps that management believes will enable the joint venture to move directly into final development, testing, and integration phases.The IP supports three advanced semiconductor design tools addressing critical bottlenecks in chip manufacturing: AstraDRC for automated design rule corrections, VerityLVS for layout verification, and RelianceRV for reliability testing at advanced manufacturing nodes. As chips get smaller and more complex, manually checking designs for errors becomes increasingly impractical. These tools automate workflows that semiconductor companies currently struggle to handle efficiently, potentially accelerating layout closure and reducing costly design mismatches.Simultaneously, VisionWave assembled a specialized team of RF experts to advance its VisionRF platform, a radio-frequency imaging system designed to provide real-time situational awareness through walls and other visual obstructions. The team brings decades of combined experience in RF engineering, antenna design, radar systems, and advanced signal processing. Management is targeting a proof-of-concept demonstration with potential applications spanning emergency response, security, surveillance, reconnaissance, and tactical military operations.This development builds on VisionWave's recent strategic exchange agreement with Israeli tech company SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVRE) in a three-stage deal worth $7.0 million. VisionWave could control roughly 51% of SaverOne on a fully diluted basis if milestones are achieved and shareholders approve. The partnership combines VisionWave's RF sensing and AI analytics with SaverOne's Vulnerable Road User platform to detect concealed threats where traditional optical cameras and LiDAR systems fail.The company also acquired the qSpeed computational acceleration engine, independently valued at $99.6 million, which shrinks computation cycles from minutes to seconds for time-critical threat response systems. U.S. Patent No. 12,499,578 secures enforceable protection for the RF sensing and AI architecture underlying both its Argus counter-drone technology and SkyWeave communications backbone.VisionWave is also expanding into Southern Europe through its Solar Drone Ltd. subsidiary, securing distribution agreements for Italy and Spain covering critical infrastructure maintenance markets. The company plans to deploy up to $10 million in U.S.-based development over the next six to twelve months to accelerate commercialization timelines across its technology platform.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for VisionWave Holdings at:
https://equity-insider.com/2025/09/25/the-ai-defense-technology-developments-on-the-rise-in-2025-26/Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) announced a partnership with OpenAI to deploy artificial intelligence supporting national priorities including boosting government agency efficiency and effectiveness. The companies plan to integrate OpenAI-powered generative and agentic AI into core workflows of customers in strategic markets including digital modernization, health services, national security and infrastructure, and defense as foundations of Leidos' NorthStar 2030 growth strategy."Leidos and OpenAI are harnessing the transformative power of AI to help improve how federal agencies operate," said Ted Tanner, Leidos Chief Technology Officer. "With OpenAI's most powerful models in a secure configuration designed to protect Leidos and customer data, we're working together to enhance productivity and accelerate product development and delivery."In addition to building OpenAI innovation into core operational systems, every Leidos customer will benefit from Leidos' internal automation and accelerated product design and delivery through thousands of Leidos employees leveraging OpenAI's ChatGPT and API Platform daily. Leidos reported annual revenues of approximately $16.7 billion for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025.Moog (NYSE: MOG.A, MOG.B) reported record fiscal first quarter 2026 results with net sales of $1.1 billion representing 21% growth and adjusted diluted net earnings per share of $2.63 reflecting strong execution and continued progress against long-term financial objectives. Operating margin increased 90 basis points to 12.3% while adjusted operating margin reached 13.0%, both up 90 basis points compared to first quarter 2025."We delivered an outstanding start to fiscal 2026," said Pat Roche, CEO of Moog. "Our customer focus has resulted in exceptionally strong orders that further secures our future growth."Bookings totaled $2.3 billion driven primarily by future growth in Commercial Aircraft and new awards in Space and Defense while twelve-month backlog increased 30% to a record $3.3 billion. Space and Defense sales increased 31% to $324 million driven by broad-based defense demand with particular strength in missile controls and satellite components while Military Aircraft sales increased 16% to $247 million.GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) successfully demonstrated a narrowbody hybrid electric engine system in ground testing, completing a modified Passport engine demonstration in 2025 at Peebles Test Operation as part of NASA's Turbofan Engine Power Extraction Demonstration project. Testing exceeded NASA's technical performance benchmarks while advancing understanding of hybrid electric engine system integration and controls beyond standalone components."Hybrid electric propulsion is central to how GE Aerospace is redefining the future of flight," said Arjan Hegeman, vice president of future of flight for GE Aerospace. "Our latest milestone successfully demonstrated a narrowbody hybrid electric engine architecture that doesn't require energy storage to operate."The demonstration represents GE Aerospace's first ground test of a commercial hybrid electric engine demonstrator, showcasing power transfer, extraction, and injection capabilities in a high-bypass commercial turbofan engine. GE Aerospace is developing the architecture through the CFM International RISE program, which has completed more than 350 tests and 3,000 endurance cycles targeting more than 20% better fuel burn compared to commercial engines in service today.Tenable (NASDAQ: TENB) announced general availability of Tenable One AI Exposure, unifying AI protection, discovery and usage governance across enterprises including SaaS platforms, cloud services, APIs and agents within the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. The platform addresses the AI Exposure Gap, a largely invisible form of exposure emerging across applications, infrastructure, identities, agents and data that most security teams are not equipped to manage."Tenable One brings AI exposure out of silos and into a unified operational model for cyber risk where it can be seen, understood and reduced," said Eric Doerr, Chief Product Officer at Tenable. "By connecting the dots between AI risk and the larger business risk, Tenable delivers the visibility and context security leaders need for informed proactive defense."Tenable provides comprehensive exposure management for AI-related risk bringing AI exposure into the unified approach organizations already use to manage cyber risk across attack surfaces. Gartner recently named Tenable the company to beat for AI-Powered Exposure Assessment and a Leader in the first-ever 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Exposure Assessment Platforms, positioned highest for Ability to Execute and furthest right for Completeness of Vision.Article Sources: https://equity-insider.com/2025/09/25/the-ai-defense-technology-developments-on-the-rise-in-2025-26/CONTACT:Equity Insider

Quarter Highlights
Record net sales in each of our segments.
Operating margin and adjusted operating margin increased, reflecting operational strength, partially offset by tariff pressure.
Record diluted net earnings per share and adjusted diluted net earnings per share, driven by higher operating margin and sales level, offset partially by tariff pressure.
Free cash flow was a use of cash, driven by cash used by trade net working capital.
Bookings totaled $2.3 billion, driven primarily by future growth in Commercial Aircraft and new awards in Space and Defense.
Twelve-month backlog increased 30% to a record $3.3 billion, reflecting continued demand across all of our markets.
Segment Results
Sales in the first quarter of 2026 increased 21% to $1.1 billion. Space and Defense sales increased 31% to $324 million, driven by broad-based defense demand, with particular strength in missile controls and satellite components. Commercial Aircraft sales increased 23% to $268 million, driven by higher volume on major production programs, increased aftermarket activity associated with strong fleet utilization, and pricing. Military Aircraft sales increased 16% to $247 million, driven by a significant V-22 spares order and continued ramp-up activity on the MV-75 program. Industrial sales increased 14% to $261 million, driven by strong demand for data center cooling pumps, other industrial automation products, and enteral feeding and IV sets.
Operating margin in the first quarter of 2026 increased 90 basis points to 12.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2025. Space and Defense operating margin increased 160 basis points to 13.2%, driven by profitable sales growth, partially offset by investments in product development, business capture and charges associated with acquisition activity. Military Aircraft operating margin increased 30 basis points to 11.4%, driven primarily by a favorable sales mix. Commercial Aircraft operating margin decreased 120 basis points to 10.6%, driven by tariff pressure, partially mitigated by increased volume and pricing benefits. Industrial operating margin increased 270 basis points to 13.9%, reflecting benefits from business optimization and sales growth, partially pressured by tariffs.
Adjusted operating margin in the first quarter of 2026 increased 90 basis points to 13.0%, compared to the first quarter of 2025. The only segment with material adjustments in the first quarter of 2026 was Space and Defense, where adjusted operating margin increased 280 basis points to 14.8%, reflecting higher sales and incremental profit, partially offset by investments in product development and business capture.
Free Cash Flow Results
Free cash flow in the first quarter was a use of $79 million, driven primarily by cash used by physical inventories to support growth and the timing of payments, including the normal timing of compensation payments. Capital expenditures totaled $34 million, as the company continued to invest to support future growth.
Fiscal 2026 Financial Guidance
“We've had an incredible start to the year with our strong first quarter financial performance, and we'll continue to build our financial strength in 2026,” said Jennifer Walter, CFO. “We're increasing our 2026 guidance for sales and adjusted earnings per share, and we're affirming our guidance on adjusted operating margin and free cash flow conversion."

Cautionary Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which can be identified by words such as: “may,” “will,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “expected,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “approximate,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “anticipates,” “presume,” “assume” and other words and terms of similar meaning (including their negative counterparts or other various or comparable terminology). These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are neither historical facts nor guarantees of future performance and are subject to several factors, risks and uncertainties, the impact or occurrence of which could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in the forward-looking statements.
Although it is not possible to create a comprehensive list of all factors that may cause our actual results to differ from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements or that may affect our future results, some of these factors and other risks and uncertainties are described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include, but are not limited to, risks relating to: (i) our operation in highly competitive markets with competitors who may have greater resources than we possess; (ii) our operation in cyclical markets that are sensitive to domestic and foreign economic conditions and events; (iii) our heavy dependence on government contracts that may not be fully funded or may be terminated; (iv) supply chain constraints and inflationary impacts on prices for raw materials and components used in our products; (v) failure of our subcontractors or suppliers to perform their contractual obligations; and (vi) our accounting estimations for over-time contracts and any changes we need to make thereto. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this press release in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
While we believe we have identified and discussed in our SEC filings the material risks affecting our business, there may be additional factors, risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial that may affect the forward-looking statements we make herein. Given these factors, risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement made in this press release, except as required by applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The press release also includes certain financial information that is not presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, “Adjusted Operating Margin,” “Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Free Cash Flow” and “Free Cash Flow Conversion.” While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating our financial condition and results of operations, this information should be considered supplemental and is not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to operating profit and margin and net earnings per share have included restructuring charges; acquisition- and integration-related costs; gains or losses on investments; asset impairments; litigation and regulatory matters; discrete tax items; changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; foreign exchange gains or losses; and other non-recurring or non-cash items. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying materials.
The press release also includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial guidance, including, but not limited to, “Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings per Share” and “Adjusted Operating Profit.” The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because certain items that are material to the comparable GAAP measures are not available and cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty. These items are dependent on future events that are difficult to predict and outside the Company’s control. These items may include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges; acquisition- and integration-related costs; gains or losses on investments; asset impairments; litigation and regulatory matters; discrete tax items; changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; foreign exchange gains or losses; and other non-recurring or non-cash items. The timing and amount of these items may vary significantly from period to period and could have a material impact on the Company’s GAAP results, including, but not limited to, “Diluted Net Earnings per Share” and “Operating Profit.”

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities, less purchase of property, plant and equipment, less the benefit from the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings. Free cash flow and free cash flow conversion are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures as used by other companies. However, management believes these adjusted financial measures may be useful in evaluating the liquidity, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This information should be considered supplemental and is not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
