Delivered another record quarter driven by record performance in new parts distribution activities and the Triumph Product Support acquisition.
Commercial sales increased 20% due to the acquisition of the Product Support business and strong demand for new parts distribution activities.
Government sales increased 15% primarily due to increased order volume for new parts distribution activities and improved performance across government program activities.
Adjusted operating margin increased from 7.8% in the prior year quarter to 9.3% in the current year quarter.
We believe demand will remain robust as the life and high utilization of current generation aircraft continue to extend, which we expect will lead to another year of sales and earnings growth as we leverage our stronger market position.
