SEC filingQ2 delivered modest revenue growth from commercial aftermarket strength, offset by military sales disruption from F-16 production transition, with profitability pressured by higher amortization and investments despite strong cash generation.
Net sales increased principally due to growth in commercial aftermarket product sales and business aviation, partially offset by lower military product sales from the transition of F-16 production into the Exton facility. This dynamic drove revenue up 2.0% to $22.4 million, reflecting resilience in commercial channels amid military program shifts that temporarily disrupted volumes.
Gross profit grew 1.5% to $11.4 million, maintaining a solid 51.1% margin despite a slight decrease principally from higher amortization expense on intangible and other long-term assets. This was partially offset by improved absorption of fixed costs thanks to the higher sales base, demonstrating operational leverage even as acquisition-related intangibles weighed on profitability.
Cash generation remained robust, with net cash from operating activities rising sharply to $10.5 million from $3.1 million prior year, after $2.7 million in capex (up from $1.8 million), producing $7.7 million in free cash flow. This liquidity supports the company's growth strategy, enhanced by new credit facilities that provide expanded flexibility for capital allocation and long-term value creation.
