Astronics Corporation is reporting sales growth in the second quarter of the year

Astronics Corporation (Astronics) is reporting financial results for the three and six month-periods ending July 4. Financial results include the acquisition of Bühler Motor Aviation (BMA) on October 13, 2025.

Peter J. Gundermann, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We had a very strong second quarter, with record sales, operating income, bookings and backlog. Our adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.8 percent was a multi-year high. We see continued strength across our range of markets and products, resulting in another step up in our forecasted 2026 revenue level. We expect momentum to build during the second half of the year. It is an exciting time for our Company.”

The company reports that second quarter sales increased 27.0 percent to a record $260.0 million while record operating income was $40.5 million, or 15.6 percent of sales.

Astronics is also reporting record Aerospace sales of $237.3 million drove Aerospace operating margin of 20.3 percent; adjusted Aerospace operating margin was 21.4 percent. The full report is available online. 

    Astronics expects to set another annual sales record this year with revenue estimated to be $1.02 billion to $1.04 billion for the year, with third quarter sales of $265 million to $275 million. Record backlog at the end of the second quarter was $780.6 million, of which approximately 82 percent is expected to drive revenue over the next twelve months.

    Gundermann said, “We expect to set yet another quarterly sales record in the third quarter, with revenue in the fourth quarter to improve modestly from there. Given our record backlog and the continued strength in our order book, we believe we are well situated to deliver growth for the foreseeable future.”
