Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Amounts in thousands, except per share data) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of SIFCO Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s operations in the United States (“U.S.”) and its non-operating, non-U.S. subsidiaries. For these operations, all gains and losses from completed currency transactions are included in income (loss). These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheet contained in these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements was derived from the audited financial statements and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. B. Accounting Policies A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. C. Net Earnings (Loss) per Share The Company’s net earnings (loss) per basic share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. During a period of net loss, zero restricted and performance shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. In a period of net income, the net income per diluted share reflects the effect of the Company’s outstanding restricted shares and performance shares under the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Income (loss) from continuing operations $ ( 40 ) 3,302 $ 4,401 ( 442 ) (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax — 106 — 142 Net income (loss) $ ( 40 ) $ 3,408 $ 4,401 $ ( 300 ) Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic) 6,131 6,068 6,113 6,050 Effect of dilutive securities: Restricted shares — 58 70 — Performance shares — 12 3 — Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted) 6,131 6,138 6,186 6,050 Net earnings (loss) per share – basic: Continuing operations $ ( 0.01 ) $ 0.54 $ 0.72 $ ( 0.07 ) Discontinued operations — 0.02 — 0.02 Net earnings (loss) per share $ ( 0.01 ) $ 0.56 $ 0.72 $ ( 0.05 ) Net earnings (loss) per share – diluted: Continuing operations $ ( 0.01 ) $ 0.54 $ 0.71 $ ( 0.07 ) Discontinued operations — 0.02 — 0.02 Net earnings (loss) per share $ ( 0.01 ) $ 0.56 $ 0.71 $ ( 0.05 ) Anti-dilutive weighted-average common shares excluded from calculation of diluted earnings per share 82 69 6 148 8 D. Recent Accounting Standards Adopted In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-01, “Compensation—Stock Compensation - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards,” which provides illustrative guidance to help entities determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements within the scope of Topic 718 or another accounting standard. The Company adopted the ASU during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. E. Impact of Newly Issued Accounting Standards Accounting Pronouncements - Issued and Not Effective In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements,” which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU No. 2025-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated condensed financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2025-01 outlines the effective date of ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), as the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is still permitted. ASU 2024-03 requires both interim and annual disclosures pertaining to expense captions on the face of the income statement within continuing operations containing the following amounts: (i) purchases of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization, and (v) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. This disaggregated information will be required to be disclosed with other disaggregated amounts under other U.S. GAAP guidance, such as revenue and income taxes. Additionally, a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and total selling expenses and a definition of such costs (in annual reporting periods only) should be disclosed. More granular information about cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) would assist a reader of the Company's consolidated financial statements in better understanding an entity’s cost structure and forecasting future cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated condensed financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in ASU 2023-09 prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will first apply this guidance, on an annual basis, for the current fiscal year. This guidance will expand our annual income tax disclosures, but will not affect our consolidated condensed financial statements. F. Employee Retention Credit Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) is a refundable payroll tax credit available to eligible businesses and tax-exempt organizations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses qualified if they experienced a full or partial government-ordered suspension of operations or a "significant" decline in gross receipts. The Company, having reasonably assured eligibility, submitted and received approval for ERC refunds. In the absence of specific U.S. GAAP guidance on accounting for such credits, the Company adopted International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 20 – Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. Under IAS 20, the credit can be presented as other income or as a reduction of related expense. The Company elected to reduce the expense categories in which the original payroll taxes were incurred. No ERC related income or expense was recognized during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026. 9 During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a total gross benefit of $ 3,373 , consisting of $ 2,859 ERC refund and $ 514 in interest income. The credit was allocated as follows: • $ 2,406 to cost of goods sold (“COGS”), • $ 453 to selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”), and • $ 514 to other (income) expense, net. The Company also recognized $ 675 of professional fees related to the ERC within SGA expenses during both the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2025. 2. Discontinued Operations The Company committed to sell CBlade in August 2024 in order to streamline operations and refocus on its core aerospace forging entities. On August 1, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and authorized the execution of a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”), under which SIFCO Irish Holdings, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement to sell 100 % of the share capital of CBlade to TB2 S.r.l. (the “Buyer”) at an enterprise value of € 20,000 , less debt, for cash consideration of € 13,800 in net equity value at closing, subject to adjustments for changes in working capital and certain other items (the “CBlade Sale”). The Company determined that CBlade met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and discontinued operations upon the aforementioned events, and, based on the significance of the disposed operations (i.e., strategic shift), CBlade represented discontinued operations upon classification of the CBlade assets and liabilities as held for sale. In October 2024, upon regulatory approval, the Company completed the CBlade Sale and received cash consideration of approximately $ 14,408 , net of transaction costs of $ 530 . The Company has not had any significant involvement with CBlade after the sale. All operating activities prior to the disposal date were included in the Company's financial statements separately as discontinued operations, including income before income tax provision, gain from the sale CBlade (i.e., cash proceeds received less net assets transferred), and the release of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to the Company's European operations. Due to the CBlade Sale, the Company ceased manufacturing operations within the European market, as CBlade represented the last remaining facility in this region. Prior to the transaction, CBlade was directly owned by SIFCO Irish Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Ireland (“Irish Holdings”), which historically acted as the holding company for the Company's international operations. With the disposal of CBlade, the Company determined that its European operations represented a substantially complete liquidation. Therefore, $ 5,851 of cumulative translation adjustment loss attributable to these operations (related to Irish Holdings) was recognized in the statement of operations as a component of the gain on sale of discontinued operations upon the loss of a controlling financial interest in CBlade, which represented in excess of 90 % of the assets of the Company's European operations. A summary of the operating results for the discontinued operations is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net sales $ — $ — $ — $ 622 Cost of sales — — — 348 Interest expense, net — — — 15 Income from discontinued operations before income tax (benefit) expense and loss on sale — — — 214 Loss on sale of discontinued operations before income tax expense — — — ( 11 ) Income tax (benefit) expense from discontinued operations — ( 106 ) — 61 Income from discontinued operations, net of tax $ — $ 106 $ — $ 142 10 3. Inventories Inventories consist of: June 30, 2026 September 30, 2025 Raw materials and supplies $ 5,637 $ 1,416 Work-in-process 2,891 1,325 Finished goods 1,538 1,451 Total inventories, net $ 10,066 $ 4,192 For a portion of the Company’s inventory, cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Approximately 74 % and 40 % of the Company’s inventories as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively, use the LIFO method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs existing at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on year-to-date changes in inventory levels. In performing these calculations, the Company excludes the effects of any decrements expected to be reinstated by year-end. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used for the remainder of the inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”). If the FIFO method had been used for the inventories for which cost is determined using the LIFO method, inventories would have been $ 14,897 and $ 10,897 higher than reported as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company estimates net realizable value, excess and obsolescence and shrink reserves for its inventory based upon historical experience, historical and projected sales trends and the age of inventory on hand. As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the inventory valuation allowances were $ 4,549 and $ 5,919 , respectively. 4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The components of accumulated other comprehensive income are as follows: June 30, 2026 September 30, 2025 Retirement plan liability adjustment, net of tax 1,710 1,661 Total accumulated other comprehensive income $ 1,710 $ 1,661 During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reclassified $ 5,554 from foreign currency translation adjustment to income from discontinued operations in the consolidated condensed statements of operations concurrent with the disposition of CBlade and the substantially complete liquidation of operations in Europe. 5. Debt Debt consists of: June 30, 2026 September 30, 2025 Revolving credit agreement $ 4,845 $ 7,969 Term loan, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 28 and $ 50 , respectively 1,972 2,400 Finance lease obligations 62 97 Other 163 146 Total debt 7,042 10,612 Less — current maturities ( 7,027 ) ( 10,561 ) Total long-term debt $ 15 $ 51 Loan and Security Agreement On October 17, 2024, the Company and Quality Aluminum Forge, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“QAF”, and together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) among the Company and QAF, as borrowers, Siena Lending Group LLC, as Lender (“Siena”), and each of the affiliates of the borrowers signatory to the Loan Agreement from time to time as guarantors. The Loan Agreement provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a term of three years in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $ 20,000 (the “Revolver”) and a term loan in the original principal amount of $ 3,000 (the “Term Loan”). 11 The Loan Agreement also provided for a $ 2,500 letter of credit sub-facility (the “Letter of Credit Sub-facility,” and collectively with the Revolver and the Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures on October 17, 2027. Borrowings under the Revolver and the Letter of Credit Sub-facility will bear interest at an annual rate of 4.5 % plus the adjusted term SOFR (or, if the base rate is applicable, an annual rate of 3.5 % plus the base rate). Borrowings under the Term Loan will bear interest at an annual rate of 5.5 % plus the adjusted term SOFR (or, if the base rate is applicable, 4.5 % plus the base rate) and shall be repaid in equal consecutive monthly installments of $ 50 commencing November 1, 2024, with the entire unpaid balance due and payable on the maturity date. Letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Sub-facility will have an interest rate equal to 4.5 % plus adjusted term SOFR per annum of the face amount of such letter of credit. The Letter of Credit Sub-facility requires the Company to maintain compensating balances in a money market account in support of any issuances. The Company may withdraw funds from this account at its discretion; however, availability under the Letter of Credit Sub-facility will be dependent upon the maintenance of such compensating balances. As of the reporting date, the Company had no outstanding letters of credit issued under this Loan Agreement. The Company had outstanding letters of credit issued by another financial institution, which are fully secured by cash compensating balances. As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company maintained compensating balances of $ 1,081 and $ 1,553 , respectively, which were included in restricted cash in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. In consideration of the execution and delivery by Siena of the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed pursuant to the fee letter to pay a closing fee in the amount of $ 230 (of which $ 115 was paid on the closing date and $ 115 was paid on the first anniversary of the closing date, with the remaining amount (if any) of the closing fee to be paid in full on the maturity date). The fee letter provides for a collateral monitoring fee in the amount of $ 126 , which fee shall be paid in installments as follows: (a) equal payments of approximately $ 4 shall be payable on the closing date and on the first day of each month thereafter and (b) the remaining amount of such fee (if any) shall be paid in full on the maturity date. In addition, an unused line fee accrues with respect to the unused amount of the Revolver at an annual rate of 0.5 %. All fees that are payable in future installments or in full at maturity were recognized within accrued liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2026. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by (a) a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in and to substantially all of the assets of the Company and other loan parties identified therein; and (b) a continuing first priority pledge of the pledged equity. The obligations of the Borrowers are guaranteed by each guarantor on the terms set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement includes a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") of 1.0 to 1.0, in accordance with the Loan Agreement, once the availability block has been released. The Loan Agreement contains a $ 2,000 availability block that reduces the borrowing base until the later of the (i) the first anniversary date of the closing date and (ii) date on which the Company achieves a FCCR of at least 1.05 to 1.00, measured on a trailing twelve-month basis, at which point the availability block is eliminated. The Loan Agreement also contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations on certain other indebtedness, loans and investment, liens, mergers, asset sales, and transactions with affiliates, as well as customary events of default for financings of this type. Additionally, the Loan Agreement contains provisions for a lockbox arrangement and a subjective acceleration clause related to the appraised value of collateralized property, plant, and equipment; hence, the Term Loan and the Revolver were each classified as current maturities of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its FCCR covenant. As of June 30, 2026, total availability under the Revolver was $ 15,156 , and no letters of credit were outstanding. As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company had effective interest rates of 13.9 % and 9.8 %, respectively, under its revolving credit agreements. The effective interest rate for the current period presented was impacted by a provision in the Loan Agreement requiring interest to be calculated on a specified minimum borrowing level, regardless of actual outstanding borrowings. As a result, the Company incurred interest expense on amounts in excess of its actual borrowings, which increased the effective interest rate. Debt issuance costs As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company had debt issuance costs related to its outstanding revolving credit agreement of $ 556 , which is included in the consolidated condensed balance sheets as a deferred charge in other current assets, net of amortization of $ 309 and $ 170 , respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company had debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan of $ 83 , which are included net of debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, net of amortization of $ 55 and $ 33 , respectively. 12 First Energy In April 2019, the Company entered into an economic development loan in the amount of $ 864 with FirstEnergy Corporation (“FirstEnergy”) through its Ohio Electric Security Plan (“ESP”) in effect at that time (the “ED Loan”). The ED Loan matures in five years and requires quarterly payments at an interest rate of zero percent per annum for the first twenty-four months and 2.0 % per annum for the remainder of the term. Any unpaid balance after the initial term will convert to the U.S. Prime Rate plus 1.0 %. As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company had outstanding balances under the ED Loan of $ 163 and $ 147 , respectively. Beginning on October 1, 2019, FirstEnergy invoiced the Company on a quarterly basis and payments were made accordingly. The Company has not received an invoice from First Energy since October 2023, and attempts to contact the lender have been unsuccessful. 6. Income Taxes For each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate it expects to be applicable for the full fiscal year for its operations. This estimated effective rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Company’s effective tax rate through the first nine months of fiscal 2026 was 2.7 %, compared with ( 37.2 )% for the same period of fiscal 2025. The increase in the effective rate was primarily attributable to changes in jurisdictional mix of income in fiscal 2026 compared with the same period of fiscal 2025 along with the Company's transition from a pre-tax loss to a pre-tax income position. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to the valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and income in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at different rates than the U.S. statutory tax rate. The Company analyzes the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis and has determined that a full valuation allowance on the U.S. net deferred tax assets as of the third quarter of fiscal 2026 is appropriate. It is reasonably possible that sufficient positive evidence required to release all, or a portion of the U.S valuation allowance will exist within the next 12 months. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Ireland, and various state and local jurisdictions. 7. Retirement Benefit Plans The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees. The components of the net periodic benefit cost of the Company’s defined benefit plans are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Service cost $ 32 $ 43 $ 95 $ 130 Interest cost 232 236 696 708 Expected return on plan assets ( 265 ) ( 264 ) ( 794 ) ( 793 ) Amortization of net loss 16 23 49 68 Net periodic pension cost $ 15 $ 38 $ 46 $ 113 During the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company made $ 310 and $ 175 in cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans. The Company anticipates making $ 80 in cash contributions to fund its defined benefit pension plans for the balance of fiscal 2026. The Company does not anticipate making cash contributions above the minimum funding requirement to fund its defined benefit pension plans during the balance of fiscal 2026. 8. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has outstanding equity awards under the Company’s 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and the Company’s 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of November 16, 2016) (as further amended, the “2016 Plan”), and awards performance and restricted shares under the 2016 Plan. In the first nine months of fiscal 2026, the Company granted 47 ti me-based restricted shares under the 2016 Plan to non-employee directors with a grant date fair value of $ 6.50 per share. The awards vest over one year . In the first nine months of fiscal 2026, the Company granted two separate awards under the 2016 Plan to certain key employees, 50 time-based restricted shares with a grant date fair value of $ 6.73 per share and 10 time-based restricted shares with a grant date fair value of $ 5.76 per share. The awards vest over three years . There were 35 shares forfeited during the nine months ended June 30, 2026. No performance-based shares were granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2026. 13 If all outstanding share awards are ultimately earned and vest at the target number of shares, there are approximately 303 shares that remain available for award as of June 30, 2026. Stock-based compensation expense under the 2016 Plan was $ 257 and $ 135 during the first nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $ 114 and $ 47 during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, within selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated condensed statements of operations. As of June 30, 2026, there was $ 457 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the performance shares and restricted shares awarded under the 2016 Plan. The Company expects to recognize this cost over the next 1.4 years. 9. Revenue The Company produces forged components for (i) turbine engines that power commercial, business and regional aircraft as well as military aircraft and other military applications; (ii) airframe applications for a variety of aircraft; (iii) industrial gas and steam turbine engines for power generation units; and (iv) commercial space, semiconductor and other commercial applications. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contract with a customer of the Company are satisfied. A portion of the Company’s contracts are from purchase orders (“PO’s”), which continue to be recognized as of a point in time when products are shipped from the Company’s manufacturing facilities or at a later time when control of the products transfers to the customer. Under the revenue standard, the Company recognizes certain revenue over time as it satisfies the performance obligations because the conditions of transfer of control to the applicable customer are as follows: • Certain military contracts, which relate to the provisions of specialized or unique goods to the U.S. government with no alternative use, include provisions within the contract that are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”). The FAR provision allows the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience and requires the customer to pay the Company for costs incurred plus reasonable profit margin and take control of any work in process. • For certain commercial contracts involving customer-specific products with no alternative use, the contract may fall under the FAR clause provisions noted above for military contracts or may include certain provisions within their contract that the customer controls the work in process based on contractual termination clauses or restrictions of the Company’s use of the product and the Company possesses a right to payment for work performed to date plus reasonable profit margin. As a result of control transferring over time for these products, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products to be provided. The Company elected to use the cost to cost input method of progress based on costs incurred for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of goods to the customer based on incurring costs on the contracts. Under this method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. The following table represents a breakout of total revenue by customer type: Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026 2026 2025 2026 2025 Commercial revenue $ 6,984 $ 8,688 $ 24,100 $ 28,166 Military revenue 19,161 13,407 52,462 33,839 Total $ 26,145 $ 22,095 $ 76,562 $ 62,005 The following table represents revenue by end market: Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Aerospace components for: Fixed wing aircraft $ 12,676 $ 13,206 $ 39,484 $ 40,432 Rotorcraft 7,638 5,215 24,137 11,538 Commercial space 114 1,173 2,089 4,214 Energy components for power generation units 10 334 449 2,048 Commercial product and other revenue 5,707 2,167 10,403 3,773 Total $ 26,145 $ 22,095 $ 76,562 $ 62,005 14 All revenue based on selling locations originated from the Company’s U.S. operations. In addition to the disaggregated revenue information provided above, approximately 67 % and 61 % of total net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, was recognized on an over-time basis because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer, with the remainder recognized at a point in time. Contract Balances The following table contains a roll forward of contract assets and contract liabilities for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Contract assets — beginning balance $ 10,560 $ 10,745 Additional revenue recognized over-time 51,996 37,616 Less amounts billed to the customers ( 50,712 ) ( 35,680 ) Contract assets — ending balance $ 11,844 $ 12,681 June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Contract liabilities — beginning balance $ 1,784 $ 2,879 Payments received in advance of performance obligations 6,618 2,898 Performance obligations satisfied ( 4,772 ) ( 3,716 ) Contract liabilities — ending balance $ 3,630 $ 2,061 During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $ 94 and $ 751 , respectively, that were included in contract liabilities at the beginning of fiscal year 2026.

Remaining performance obligations As of June 30, 2026, the Company has $ 164,160 of remaining performance obligations, of which $ 99,184 are anticipated to be complete within the next 12 months, and the remaining thereafter. 10. Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in ordinary, routine legal actions. The Company cannot reasonably estimate future costs, if any, related to these matters; however, it does not anticipate any material impact on its financial condition or results of operations from these matters. The Company maintains various liability insurance coverages to protect its assets from losses arising out of or involving activities associated with ongoing and normal business operations; however, it is possible that the Company’s future operating results could be affected by future costs of litigation. The Company may be subject to late shipping charges under certain customer arrangements if delivery timelines are not met. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has not accrued any amounts related to such potential charges, as the likelihood of incurring material penalties is not considered probable. The Company will continue to monitor this matter and will record an accrual if and when it becomes probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental Compliance Matter - Orange, California Facility On October 3, 2025, the Company received written notice of potential violations of the Clean Water Act and California’s General Industrial Storm Water Permit occurring at Quality Aluminum Forge, LLC’s facilities located at 820 North Cypress Street & 794 North Cypress Street, Orange, California 92867.

The Company is evaluating the notices and the related lawsuit, validating the violations alleged therein, and, to the extent applicable, determining the extent of remediation efforts that may be required in connection therewith. The Company has engaged an environmental consultant to assist with potential remediation requirements, as well as estimating potential fines, penalties and legal costs. While the Company records reserves for legal disputes and regulatory matters in accordance to U.S. GAAP, the ultimate resolution of such matters are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ significantly from current estimates. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company settled one of the notices for $ 65 . Based on the information currently available the Company has recorded an accrual of $ 175 for its estimated remaining contingent liabilities, which is included within accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2026.
