What the filing says
AAR Corp is offering $955M of senior notes due 2031 and $960M due 2034 (totaling $1.915B) to finance its acquisition of a 65% controlling stake in MRO Holdings, Inc. at an implied enterprise value of ~$4.0B. Financing sources include the debt offering, $231.6M from a PIPE equity placement (2.2M shares at $104.50), ~$230M revolving credit draw, and ~$780.8M in Series A Preferred Stock issuance. MRO Holdings generated $943.7M revenue and $291.4M Adjusted EBITDA in the twelve months ended June 30, 2026; it carries $1.389B total debt. Proceeds will also refinance MRO's existing $1.389B debt and cover transaction costs (~$53M).
Why this rating
Transformational acquisition at 125% of AAR's market cap; meaningful revenue and EBITDA boost; but substantial leverage increase and MRO accounting complexities create execution risk.
