Analysis · AVEX · Manufacturing
A breakout quarter for AEVEX: revenue surged 99.5% to $201.8 million, flipping the bottom line to a $6.7 million net profit from a year-ago loss. Adjusted EBITDA climbed to $28.1 million from $3.6 million, powered by the Tactical Systems segment where revenue more than doubled. Management raised full-year guidance to $700-$720 million in revenue and $105-$111.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA, signaling confidence in sustained demand for its autonomous systems. The results arrive alongside the announced acquisition of BlackSea Technologies, expected to further broaden the portfolio. The only soft spot is funded backlog, which fell to $259.8 million from $503.1 million at year-end, though the company expects to convert 95% of it to revenue within 12 months.
