Aerospace components total EBITDA As Defined margin measures TransDigm total company EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of consolidated net sales.

TransDigm reported a 52.8% EBITDA As Defined margin in the fiscal third quarter of 2026, down from 54.4% a year earlier.

Acquisition dilution affected the reported result

Management said base-business EBITDA margins expanded year over year after adjusting for acquisition dilution.

The reported margin therefore should not be read as evidence that underlying profitability necessarily weakened across the existing portfolio.

EBITDA As Defined is issuer-specific

TransDigm states that EBITDA As Defined is not a U.S. GAAP measure and may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Read it with commercial aftermarket sales mix and Power & Control EBITDA As Defined margin.
