Transdigm Group (NYSE:TDG) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.23 EPS

Transdigm Group (NYSE:TDG) issued its earnings results on Tuesday. The aerospace company reported $12.44 earnings per share for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $12.21 by $0.23, FiscalAI reports. Transdigm Group had a negative return on equity of 23.65% and a net margin of 19.69%. The business had revenue of $2.99 billion for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $2.95 billion. During the same period last year, the company posted $10.82 EPS. The business’s quarterly revenue was up 22.6% on a year-over-year basis. Transdigm Group updated its FY 2027 guidance to 47.090-47.940 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Transdigm Group’s conference call:

• TransDigm reported broad-based strength in fiscal 2026: all three major end markets grew at double-digit rates in Q4 and for the full year, and revenue and EBITDA exceeded the company’s latest guidance. Q4 EBITDA margin reached 53%, its highest of the year.
• Fiscal 2027 guidance calls for revenue of about $12.05 billion, up approximately 14%, and EBITDA of about $6.27 billion, up approximately 13%. The company expects high-single-digit or better growth across commercial OEM, commercial aftermarket, and defense.
• Commercial OEM momentum is supported by higher Boeing and Airbus production, while defense enters the new year with a healthy backlog and bookings well above the prior year. Management also expects underlying margin improvement of 1%–1.5%, though recent acquisitions are expected to dilute fiscal 2027 reported margins by about two percentage points.
• Commercial aftermarket demand remained healthy despite elevated oil prices and weaker-than-forecast RPKs, with bookings exceeding sales for the year. However, fiscal 2027 aftermarket growth guidance of high single digits is below fiscal 2026’s 14% growth, and management cited continued uncertainty around travel demand.
• The company repurchased $2.75 billion of shares and deployed about $4.4 billion in acquisitions during fiscal 2026, while ending the year at 5.9 times net debt to EBITDA. Management expects leverage to fall below 5 times by fiscal 2027 year-end, assuming no additional acquisitions, buybacks, or dividends.
