SEC filingQ1 delivered robust revenue growth of 8.7% and exceptional operating income expansion of 25.6%, driven by higher defense program volumes and commercial aftermarket strength, achieving 11.6% operating margin despite tariff pressures.
These operational improvements flowed through to the bottom line, with net income rising 34.1% to $2.1 billion and diluted EPS climbing 32.5% to $1.51.
