Article content

This news release contains certain forward-looking statements that reflect the current views and/or expectations of the Corporation with respect to its performance, business and future events. Such statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied. The Corporation assumes no future obligation to update these forward-looking statements except as required by law.

This news release presents certain non-IFRS financial measures to assist readers in understanding the Corporation’s performance. Non-IFRS financial measures are measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Throughout this news release, reference is made to EBITDA (defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA (defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-operational items related to former sites of subsidiary companies) which the Corporation considers to be indicative measures of operating performance and metrics to evaluate profitability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not generally accepted earnings measures and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined in accordance with IFRS. As there is no standardized method of calculating this measure, the Corporation’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Revenue in the United States increased by 32.4% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, mainly due to higher casting and narrow body and wide body aircraft part revenues offset in part by lower engine shaft revenues.

Article content

European revenue in the second quarter of 2026 increased 23.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2025 primarily driven by higher revenues for narrow body and wide body aircraft parts, higher MRO revenues and favourable foreign exchange impacts due to the strengthening of the British Pound relative to the Canadian dollar.

1 Non-GAAP financial measure. A non-GAAP financial measure is not a standardized financial measure under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the Corporation’s financial statements and might not be comparable to similar financial measures used by other issuers. Please see Section 4 the “Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for more information.

Article content

Revenues and net income in the quarter were impacted by the movements of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar and British pound, when the Corporation translates its foreign operations to Canadian dollars. Further, the movements in the United States dollar relative to the British pound impact the Corporation’s United States dollar exposures in its European operations. During the periods reported, the average quarterly exchange rate of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar fluctuated between a high of 1.4350 in the first quarter of 2025 and a low of 1.3637 in the third quarter of 2024. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the Canadian dollar reached a high of 1.8582 in the second quarter of 2026 and hit a low of 1.7741 in the third quarter of 2024. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the United States dollar reached a high of 1.3483 in the third quarter of 2025 and hit a low of 1.2600 in the first quarter of 2025.

Article content

Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 of $305.6 million was higher than that in the second quarter of 2025. The average quarterly exchange rate of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar in the second quarter of 2026 was 1.3838 versus 1.3841 in the same period of 2025. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the Canadian dollar moved from 1.8485 in the second quarter of 2025 to 1.8582 during the current quarter. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the United States dollar increased from 1.3357 in the second quarter of 2025 to 1.3429 in the current quarter. Had the foreign exchange rates remained at levels experienced in the second quarter of 2025, reported revenues in the second quarter of 2026 would have been lower by $0.8 million.

Article content

Since the third quarter of 2024, the Company has seen a general, but uneven, growth trend in quarterly revenues.

Article content

4. Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA

Article content

A description and reconciliation of certain non-IFRS measures used by management

Article content

In addition to the primary measures of earnings and earnings per share (basic and diluted) in accordance with IFRS, the Corporation includes EBITDA (net income before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA (net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-operational items related to former sites of subsidiary companies) in this news release.

Article content

The Corporation has provided these measures because it believes this information is used by certain investors to assess financial performance and that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Corporation’s principal business activities prior to consideration of how these activities are financed and how the results are taxed in the various jurisdictions. Each component of these measures is calculated in accordance with IFRS, but EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measures under IFRS, and the Corporation’s method of calculation may not be comparable with that of other companies. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as an alternative to net income as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to cash provided by or used in operations.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2026 increased $21.9 million to $43.0 million in comparison to $21.1 million in the same quarter of 2025 mainly as a result of gross margin improvements and higher foreign exchange income movements offset in part by higher administrative and general expenses.

Article content

5. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Article content

A discussion of Magellan’s cash flow, liquidity, credit facilities and other disclosures

Article content

Article content

The Corporation’s liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources including cash on hand, cash provided by operations, short-term borrowings from its credit facility and accounts receivable securitization programs, and long-term debt and equity capacity. Principal uses of cash are for operational requirements, capital expenditures, common share repurchases and dividend payments. Based on current funds available and expected cash flow from operating activities, management believes that the Corporation has sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. However, if cash from operating activities is lower than expected or capital projects exceed current estimates, or if the Corporation incurs major unanticipated expenses, it may be required to seek additional capital in the form of debt or equity or a combination of both.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, operating activities provided $6.1 million of cash compared to providing cash of $25.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. Changes in non-cash working capital items used cash of $25.6 million, $35.3 million higher when compared to the cash provided by working capital of $9.7 million in the prior year. This working capital decrease is largely attributable to increases in accounts receivables from timing of customer payments, increases in contract assets due to higher in-process unbilled work and increases in inventory due to timing of production and shipment. These increases were offset in part by decreases in prepaid expenses and other, increases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions primarily driven by timing of material purchases and supplier payments and increases in contract liabilities due to timing of customer deposits.

The increase in cash usage was primarily due to higher levels of investment in property, plant and equipment offset in part by lower spending on intangible assets.

Financing activities used $3.7 million of cash in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $9.0 million of cash provided in the same quarter of the prior year, a decrease of $12.7 million. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by decreases in cash provided from bank indebtedness.

Financing Matters

Article content

On June 24, 2025, the Corporation extended its 2023 Credit Facility with a syndicate of lenders for an additional two-year period expiring on June 30, 2027. The 2025 Credit Facility provides for a multi-currency global operating credit facility to be available to the Corporation in a maximum aggregate amount of $75 million. Interest applicable to the facility is at adjusted term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) rates or adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing (“SOFR”) rates plus a spread of 1.00%. The facility also includes a $75 million uncommitted accordion provision, which provides the Corporation with the option to increase the size of the operating credit facility to $150 million. Extensions of the 2025 Credit Facility are subject to mutual consent of the syndicate of lenders and the Corporation. A fixed and floating charge on accounts receivable, inventories and property, plant and equipment are pledged as collateral for the operating credit facility.

Article content

In March 2026, the Corporation received an $8,000 interest free government loan which is repayable over a five year period commencing in 2029 and is conditional on the achievement of certain terms in the agreement. The fair value of the loan was determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using a current rate for debt with similar terms and maturities. The difference between the fair value of the loan and the cash received has been recorded as a reduction in property, plant and equipment.

Legal Proceedings and Environmental Orders

Article content

Middletown is a defendant in a legal action related to the environmental remediation of a former operating site in Torrance, California. The trial that commenced in March 2026 concluded in May 2026, however a final judgement has not been entered. At this time, management cannot predict with certainty the extent of Middletown’s liability, if any, the total costs of remediation, Middletown’s share of the total cost, the extent to which contributions will be available from other parties, the amount of time necessary to complete the remediation or the insurance coverage available to it. Refer to “Chapter 11 Proceedings” for more information.

Article content

Middletown is also involved in an investigation for soil vapour intrusion at a former site in San Diego, California. Middletown was made aware of this investigation in February 2026 and an environmental order was subsequently issued to Middletown for mitigation, investigation and remedial-feasibility work. At this time, the actual liability to Middletown remains highly uncertain due to the recent timing of this claim, the unknown history of the contamination, and the unknown scope of remediation costs involved. Refer to “Chapter 11 Proceedings” for more information.

Chapter 11 Proceedings

Article content

On July 22, 2026, Middletown filed for voluntary Chapter 11 relief in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio (the “Filing”). Middletown will continue to operate as a debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Article content

The Filing resulted from the decline of Middletown’s core business activities compounded by escalating legal defence and environmental program spending related to legacy environmental liabilities impacting Middletown’s liquidity. Refer to “Legal Proceedings and Environmental Orders” for more information. At the time of Filing, Middletown had no secured debt. As a result of the Filing, all pre-petition liabilities are subject to compromise and pre-petition legal proceedings are stayed by court order. Concurrent with the Filing, Middletown entered into a DIP financing agreement with Magellan Aerospace, USA, Inc. to provide a debtor-in-possession revolving credit facility of up to USD $20 million to support ongoing operations.

Article content

Article content

Middletown intends to use the Filing to preserve its business as a going concern while addressing its legacy liabilities and has not yet determined whether it will pursue a standalone plan of reorganization, a sale under section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or another strategic transaction. The outcome of the Filing process is uncertain and depends on court decisions, negotiations with creditors, and the successful development and confirmation of a plan of reorganization.

Derivative Contracts

Article content

The Corporation operates internationally, which gives rise to a risk that its income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises because the amount of the local currency receivable or payable for transactions denominated in foreign currencies may vary due to changes in exchange rates and because the non-Canadian dollar denominated financial statements of the Corporation’s subsidiaries may vary on consolidation into the reporting currency of Canadian dollars. The Corporation from time to time may use derivative financial instruments to help manage foreign exchange risk with the objective of reducing transaction exposures and the resulting volatility of the Corporation’s earnings. The Corporation does not trade in derivatives for speculative purposes. Under these contracts (forwards and/or collars), the Corporation is obligated to purchase specified amounts of currency – generally either United States dollars (“USD”) or British Pounds (“GBP”) – at predetermined dates and exchange rates if certain conditions are met. The counterparties to the foreign currency contracts are all major financial institutions with high credit ratings.

Article content

As at June 30, 2026, foreign exchange contracts of GBP 23.5 million were outstanding and the Corporation has recorded $0.2 million of derivative liabilities as the fair value of its derivative contracts [December 31, 2025 – $0.2 million] in Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions on the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

Article content

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Article content

The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or reasonably are likely to have a material effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. As a result, the Corporation is not exposed materially to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if it had engaged in these arrangements.

Commercial Aerospace Market

Article content

The industry outlook remains cautiously optimistic, supported by strong commercial aircraft demand and an unprecedented order backlog at both Airbus and Boeing. While aircraft production continues to recover, global supply chain constraints—including shortages of aero engines, castings and forgings, titanium, electronic components, and skilled labour—continue to limit manufacturers’ ability to increase production rates. The following commercial aircraft orders, backlog and delivery data was extracted from Forecast International’s (“FI”) Flight Plan publication dated July 22, 2026 and verified with Airbus and Boeing official first half 2026 announcements.

Article content

During the first half of 2026, Boeing delivered 314 commercial aircraft, representing its strongest first-half delivery performance since 2018. Deliveries included 243 Boeing 737 aircraft, 40 Boeing 787 aircraft, 16 Boeing 767 aircraft and 15 Boeing 777 aircraft. Boeing continues to focus on increasing production rates and improving manufacturing stability as it works through a commercial backlog approaching 7,000 aircraft.

Article content

Airbus delivered 351 commercial aircraft during the first six months of 2026, a 15% increase over the same period in 2025, including a particularly strong June with 89 aircraft delivered. Airbus remains on track to achieve its official full-year delivery target of 870 aircraft, with company leadership indicating that improving engine availability has supported a stronger production ramp-up during the second quarter. Airbus continues to maintain the industry’s largest commercial aircraft backlog, exceeding 8,700 aircraft, with the A320neo Family representing the majority of outstanding orders.

Article content

Article content

The combined Airbus and Boeing commercial backlog remains well above 15,000 aircraft, representing many years of production at current manufacturing rates. Narrowbody aircraft continue to dominate future demand, with the Airbus A220/A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft families accounting for the overwhelming majority of outstanding orders. This sustained backlog provides long-term production visibility across the global aerospace supply chain.

Article content

Defence Aerospace Market

Article content

The defence market is positioned for sustained growth through the remainder of the decade. Rising geopolitical tensions, continued conflict in Ukraine, instability in the Middle East, increasing Indo-Pacific security concerns, and NATO’s expanded defence spending commitments continue to drive record investment in military capability. Per a February 2026 publication in the Military Balance, global military expenditures reached USD $2.63 trillion in 2025, with industry forecasts projecting continued growth throughout 2026 and beyond as governments accelerate modernization programs, missile defence, autonomous systems, space capabilities, and advanced aerospace technologies.

Article content

Canada’s new Defence Investment Agency (“DIA”) continues to advance implementation as part of the federal government’s broader defence procurement transformation. The DIA is intended to modernize defence procurement, accelerate project delivery, strengthen Canada’s domestic industrial base, and improve collaboration with industry. Together with the newly established Defence Procurement Agency framework, these reforms are expected to provide more agile acquisition authorities and significantly improve the delivery of major defence capabilities.

Article content

In the United States, defence spending continues to grow under the current Administration, with continued emphasis on missile defence, next-generation aircraft, munitions production, shipbuilding, autonomous systems, and industrial base expansion. The U.S. Department of Defense continues to prioritize accelerating acquisition timelines and strengthening domestic and allied supply chains, creating significant opportunities for aerospace and defence manufacturers throughout North America.

Article content

Across Europe, defence modernization continues at an unprecedented pace. The European Union’s ReArm Europe initiative is expected to mobilize approximately €800 billion in defence investment over the coming years through joint procurement, industrial expansion, and enhanced defence cooperation. This represents one of the largest coordinated defence industrial investments in European history and creates substantial opportunities for allied suppliers, including Canadian companies participating through the Canada-EU Security and Defence Partnership.

Overall Aerospace Market Outlook

Article content

The overall positive outlook for both the commercial and defence aerospace markets is tempered by common structural challenges. Persistent shortages of skilled labour, constrained availability of raw materials and specialized aerospace components, and ongoing supply chain bottlenecks remain the principal constraints on production growth. As commercial production rates continue to increase while defence procurement accelerates globally, competition for critical materials, manufacturing capacity, and skilled workers is expected to intensify. Growing geopolitical security and tariff policy issues add to these concerns as these forces work by reducing the interconnectivity of the global supply chain in the aerospace markets. Industry research—including recent KPMG aerospace outlooks—continues to identify supply chain resilience, workforce development, and domestic industrial capacity as among the most significant strategic risks facing the global aerospace sector over the coming decade.

Article content

As we move through 2026 and military events in the Middle East continue, it remains to be seen what the net impact will be on the aerospace industry as a whole. On the defence side, the conflict reinforces government focus on military readiness and accelerates defence procurement. On the commercial side, the impact is more challenging to assess with potential impacts including tightening jet fuel supplies, airspace closures, flight cancellations or supply chain disruptions. To date, the commercial side of the industry has remained resilient through it all.
