© 2026 AAR CORP. All rights reserved worldwide 13 This presentation includes financial results for the Company with respect to adjusted sales, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA , adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA margin, and net leverage which are “non - GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended (the “Exchange Act”) . We believe these non - GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful for investors as they illustrate our actual operating performance unaffected by the impact of certain items . When reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe these non - GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business and provide a means by which to compare our operating performance against that of other companies in the industries we compete . These non - GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP . Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest income (expense), other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock - based compensation, and items of an unusual nature including but not limited to business divestitures and acquisitions, workforce actions, COVID - related subsidies and costs, impairment and exit charges, facility consolidation and repositioning costs, FCPA investigation settlement and related costs, equity investment gains and losses, pension settlement charges, legal judgments, acquisition, integration and amortization expenses from recent acquisition activity, and significant customer events such as early terminations, contract restructurings, forward loss provisions, and bankruptcies . Adjusted operating income is adjusted EBITDA gross of depreciation and amortization and stock - based compensation . Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G of the Exchange Act, we provide tables that reconcile the above - mentioned non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the Appendix at the end of this presentation . The Company is not providing a reconciliation of forward - looking adjusted operating margin to the most directly comparable forward - looking GAAP measure because the information is not available without unreasonable effort . This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance . Each of the adjustments has not occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted . For this reason, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information . Non - GAAP Financial Measures
