TAT Technologies (NASDAQ:TATT) Issues Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.05 EPS

TAT Technologies (NASDAQ:TATT) posted its quarterly earnings results on Wednesday. The aerospace company reported $0.35 earnings per share for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $0.30 by $0.05, FiscalAI reports. TAT Technologies had a net margin of 9.27% and a return on equity of 9.47%. The business had revenue of $52.94 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $44.86 million.

Here are the key takeaways from TAT Technologies’ conference call:

• Record backlog and strong demand drove second-quarter revenue up nearly 23% year over year to $52.9 million, with backlog and long-term agreements reaching a record $650 million.
• The expanded Honeywell relationship makes TAT the sole global authorized distributor of spare parts for the 331-250 APU platform, extends the MRO license through 2036, and adds three 131-9A APUs to its trading and leasing business.
• Profitability improved despite supply-chain inefficiencies, with operating margin rising to 10.6% and gross margin remaining above 25%; management expects further operating leverage as revenue grows.
• Supply-chain constraints remain a risk, particularly in landing gear and APU parts, where lead times can exceed 12 months. The company is increasing inventory and paying higher procurement costs, which is pressuring margins and near-term cash flow.
• Net income benefited from a $4.3 million one-time gain, while operating cash flow was negative $0.6 million due to inventory investments and delayed collections. Management is evaluating a robust M&A pipeline, intending to maintain disciplined valuations and moderate leverage.
