Monitor the closing of the MRO Holdings acquisition and the integration timeline; the pro forma financials show significant leverage increase and modest near-term EPS accretion. Watch for the final pricing of the notes and any updates to the purchase price allocation.

Executive Summary
AAR CORP. disclosed excerpts from its preliminary offering memorandum for a $1.915 billion senior notes offering ($955M due 2031, $960M due 2034) to help finance its pending $4.0 billion enterprise value acquisition of a 65% controlling interest in MRO Holdings. The filing includes MRO Holdings' historical IFRS financials, preliminary estimated financial data, and pro forma combined financials showing the combined entity would have had pro forma net income of $5.6M for the three months ended August 31, 2026 and $135.2M for the year ended May 31, 2026.
Key Facts
- AAR launched a $955M senior notes offering due 2031 and a $960M senior notes offering due 2034, totaling $1.915 billion.
- Proceeds will finance the pending acquisition of a 65% controlling interest in MRO Holdings at an implied enterprise value of approximately $4.0 billion.
- Additional financing includes a $231.6M PIPE offering (2,215,791 shares at $104.50/share), a $230.0M draw on the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, and $780.8M in Series A Preferred Stock as partial consideration.
- MRO Holdings reported IFRS net income of $90.2M for FY2025 and $38.1M for H1 2026; adjusted EBITDA was $308.0M and $141.8M, respectively.
- Pro forma combined net income attributable to AAR would have been $5.6M for Q3 FY2026 and $135.2M for FY2026, with basic EPS of $0.12 and $2.92, respectively.
- Pro forma combined long-term debt would be $3.003 billion, up from AAR's standalone $879.6 million.
- The offering is unregistered under Rule 144A and Regulation S; notes will be escrowed if the acquisition closes later.
Financial Impact
Debt increase of $1.915B from notes, plus $230M revolver draw and $231.6M equity PIPE; pro forma combined long-term debt of $3.003B vs AAR standalone $879.6M. Pro forma combined net income of $5.6M (Q3) and $135.2M (FY) vs AAR standalone $40.1M and $187.7M.
Risk Factors
- MRO Holdings' financials are prepared under IFRS, not GAAP, and the U.S. GAAS audit is not yet complete, creating potential for material revisions.
- The Intercompany Loan structure may require AAR to provide additional funding to MRO Holdings, with a portion potentially distributed to the seller's noncontrolling interest.
- Pro forma financials are preliminary and subject to change; the purchase price allocation is not finalized.
- Significant increase in leverage from $879.6M to $3.003B in long-term debt could pressure credit ratings and interest coverage.
