Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected by known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. We have summarized below the significant, known material risks to our business. Additional risk factors not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. AnyThese disclosures reflect our beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect us and our securities in the future.

Added

Our ability to make payments on our debt in the future and to fund planned capital expenditures and working capital needs will depend upon our ability to generate significant cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash is subject to economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that may be beyond our control.

Added

The terms of the 2025 Term Loan require us to make installment payments of 0.625% of the initial outstanding principal balance on a quarterly basis during years one and two, 1.250% during years three and four, and 1.875% during year five, on the last business day of each calendar quarter. In addition, the undrawn portion of the commitment of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.250%, based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio.

Added

As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance on the 2025 Credit Facilities (as defined below) was $305.0 million with an average interest rate of 6.10%. Should interest rates increase significantly, our debt service cost on the variable portion of our debt will increase. Any inability to generate sufficient cash flow could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. See Note 1, Note 3, and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further discussion.

InOn JulyNovember 2022,24, 2025, we completed a refinancing of our then existing debt by entering into a new term loan (“20222025 Term Loan”) and a new revolving credit facility (“20222025 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 20222025 Term Loan is a $250.0$200.0 million senior secured loan that matures in JulyNovember 2027.2030. The 20222025 Revolving Credit Facility is a $200.0$450.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures inon JulyNovember 2027.24, 2030. The 2025 Term Loan replaced the 2022 Term Loan (“2022 Term Loan”) which was a $250.0 million senior secured loan. The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility replaced the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility (“2022 Revolving Credit Facility”) which was a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The 2025 Term Loan and 20222025 Revolving Credit Facility, collectively are the new credit facilities (“20222025 Credit Facilities”). The terms of the 20222025 Term Loan require us to make installment payments of 0.625% of the initial outstanding principal balance on a quarterly basis during years one and two, 1.250% during years three and four, and 1.875% during year five, on the last business day of each calendar quarter. InThe addition,terms of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility do not require us to make installment payments.

At December 31, 2024,2025, we had a total of $243.2$305.0 million of outstanding long-term debt under the 20222025 Credit Facilities. The total long-term debt was primarily the result of our acquisitions, including Lightning Diversion Systems, LLC (“LDS”) in September 2017, Certified Thermoplastics Co., LLC (“CTP”) in April 2018, and Nobles Worldwide, Inc.

In April 2023, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of BLR for an initial purchase price of $115.0 million, net of cash acquired, all payable in cash. We paid a gross aggregate of $117.0 million in cash upon the closing of the transaction. We utilized the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility to complete the acquisition. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further discussion.

Removed

In July 2022, as a result of completing a refinancing of our existing debt, we were required to complete an amendment of all the forward interest rate swaps (“Amended Forward Interest Rate Swaps”) we entered into in November 2021 that were based on U.S. dollar-one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to be based on one month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as borrowings can only be based on SOFR. The Amended Forward Interest Rate Swaps, with an aggregate total notional amount of $150.0 million and all with a seven year tenor, became effective on January 1, 2024. The weighted average fixed rate of the Amended Forward Interest Rate Swaps was 1.7%. At December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance on the 2022 Credit Facilities was $243.2 million with an average interest rate of 7.25%. Should interest rates increase significantly, our debt service cost on the variable portion of our debt will increase. Any inability to generate sufficient cash flow could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. See Note 1, Note 4, and Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further discussion.

Removed

We require a considerable amount of cash to fund our anticipated voluntary principal prepayments on our Credit Facilities.

Removed

Our ability to reduce the debt outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facilities through voluntary principal prepayments will be a contributing factor to our ability to keep our interest rate towards the lower end of the interest rate range as defined in the 2022 Credit Facilities. Our ability to make such prepayments will depend upon our ability to generate significant cash in the future. We cannot ensure that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund any such prepayments.

Reworded

We are required to comply with a leverage covenant as defined in the 20222025 Credit Facilities. The leverage covenant is defined as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5.0 million,equivalents, divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and other adjustments. In addition, we are required to comply with a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio covenant. The Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is defined as consolidated EBITDA and other adjustments to consolidated interest charges paid in cash.

Reworded

At December 31, 2024,2025, we were in compliance with theall leverage covenantcovenants under the 20222025 Credit Facilities. However, there is no assurance that we will continue to be in compliance with all the leverage covenantcovenants in future periods.

Reworded

The 20222025 Credit Facilities’ agreements containscontain a number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit our ability, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness, to create liens, to make certain payments, to make certain investments, to engage in transactions with affiliates, to sell certain assets or enter into mergers.

Reworded

The level of trading activity of our common stock may vary daily and typically represents only a small percentage of outstanding shares. As a result, a stockholder who sells a significant amount of shares in a short period of time could negatively affect our share price.

We currently generate the majority of our revenues from customers in the aerospace and defense industry. Our business depends, in part, on the level of new military and commercial aircraft orders. As a result, we have significant sales to certain customers. Sales to The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), which now includes Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (“Spirit”), andbased Viasat,on Inc.Boeing’s (“Viasat”)December 8, 2025 announcement confirming the closing of its acquisition of all of Spirit’s Boeing-related commercial operations, comprise a significant portion of our commercial aerospace end-use market in 2024.2025. A significant portion of our net sales in our military and space end-use markets are made under subcontracts with original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), underpursuant to their prime contracts with the U. S. Government. We had significant sales in 2025 to Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed”), Northrop Grumman Corporation (“Northrop”), and RTX Corporation (f/k/a Raytheon Technologies Corporation) (“RTX”), inand 2024TransDigm Group Inc. (“TransDigm”), which completed its acquisition of the Simmonds Precision Products, Inc. business of Goodrich Corporation from RTX Corporation based on TransDigm’s announcement on October 6, 2025, in our defense technologies end-use market.

Boeing was one of our largest customers in 2024,2025, and the 737 MAX was one of our highest commercial end use market revenue platforms. In early January 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) initiated an investigation into Boeing’s quality control system.system, Thiswhich was followed by the FAAagency announcing actions to increase its oversight of Boeing as well as not approving production rate increases or additional production lines for the 737 MAX until it iswas satisfied that Boeing is inattained full compliance with required quality control procedures.

Revenue growth with our other commercial customers, including Airbus SE (“Airbus”), and continued solid demand from defense OEMs (also known as prime contractors) have helped to mitigate a significant portion of this risk for the time being. However, the industry remains vulnerable to various developments including fuel spikes, inflationary forces, supply chain issues, and elevated high interest rates.

Reworded

We derive a significant portion of our business from customers whose principal sales are to the U.S. Government. Accordingly, the success of our business depends upon government spending generally or for specific departments or agencies in particular.agencies. Such spending, among other factors, is subject to the uncertainties of governmental appropriations and national defense policies and priorities, constraints of the budgetary process, timing and potential changes in these policies and priorities, and the adoption of new laws or regulations or changes to existing laws or regulations.

Reworded

Further, the levels of U.S. Department of DefenseWar (“U.S. DoDDoW”) spending in future periods are difficult to predict and are impacted by numerous factors such as the political environment, U.S. foreign policy, macroeconomic conditions and the ability of the U.S. Government to enact relevant legislation such as the authorization and appropriations bills. For instance, on December 21, 2024,during the U.S. governmentGovernment shutdown between October 1, 2025 and November 12, 2025, the U.S. Government enacted a continuing resolution (“CR”) to keep the government funded through MarchJanuary 14,30, 20252026 at FY25 levels while the Congress works to enact full year fiscal year 20252026 (“FY25FY26”) legislation for the remaining appropriation bills orto anavoid additionalanother CRgovernment shutdown. Subsequently, on February 3, 2026, President Trump signed into law, a funding package to fundend the brief U.S. Government shutdown. The legislation will ensure full year funding for the federal government departmentsthrough andthe agenciesend afterof MarchSeptember 14,2026, 2025.with the lone exception of funding for the Department of Homeland Security. We, and a number of our customers rely on the U.S. governmentGovernment in various aspects of our defense and commercial businesses. In the event of a future shutdown, requirements to furlough employees in the U.S. DoDDoW or other government agencies could result in payment delays, the inability to obtain export licenses, impair our ability to perform work on existing contracts or otherwise impact our operations, negatively impact future orders, and/or cause other disruptions or delays.

Reworded

The U.S. governmentGovernment could experience a disruption to its operations and/or payments in 20252026 as a result of the U.S. Treasury exhausting extraordinary measures after reaching its debt limit. InFor addition,instance, the U.S. governmentGovernment discretionary spending in FY24 and FY25, including defense spending, was capped by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (“FRA23”). If a CR for FY25 is in place on April 30, 2025, it would trigger a sequester under the FRA23. These potential disruptions, and any other broader macroeconomic impacts, could affect our current programs and contracts and have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Reworded

We must comply with numerous laws and regulations relating to the export of some of our products before we are permitted to sell or manufacture those products outside the United States. Compliance often entails the submission and timely receipt of the necessary export approvals, licenses, or authorizations from the U.S. Government. Over the last several years, the U.S. export licensing environment for munitions has been adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the changing geopolitical environment and heightened tensions with other countries (which shift and evolve over time). Moreover, in the event Congress is unable to enact legislation to fund appropriations bills and avoid another government shutdown in the future, our ability to obtain required export licenses could be negatively impacted. Accordingly, we can give no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining, in a timely manner or at all, the approvals, licenses or authorizations we need to sell or manufacture our products outside the United States, which may result in the cancellation of orders and significant penalties to our customers if we do not make deliveries and fulfill our contractual commitments. Any significant delay in, or impairment of, our ability to sell products outside of the United States could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

Risks associated with existing and new tariffs imposed by the U.S. administration or foreign governments potentially impacting the operation and conduct of our business outside the United States, including our production facility in Mexico, and the sale of products to customers outside the United States.

Added

Since February 2025, the U.S. government has issued several executive orders (“Executive Orders”), under various statutes, imposing tariffs on imports from most countries with whom the U.S. engages in trade. As such, during 2025, the United States reached bilateral trade agreements that recognize tariff-free trade of products within the scope of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft with the United Kingdom, Japan, and the European Union. Moreover, the United States applies a diverse range of reciprocal tariffs to imports originating from countries that have not concluded bilateral trade agreements with the United States. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the sweeping tariffs that the U.S. government had imposed through the Executive Orders issued pursuant to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) of 1977. However, the U.S. government subsequently imposed a global tariff of 10% (which could potentially increase to 15%) that went into effect on February 24, 2026, and which would be effective for 150 days unless they are extended by the U.S Congress.

Added

If the imposition of current tariff levels is sustained, our profitability, cash flows and the estimates inherent in our financial statements could be negatively affected to the extent we are either unable to claim duty exemptions or are unable to pass on such incremental tariffs to our customers. The actual financial impacts of tariffs are dependent upon various factors, most notably, the scope of goods covered by tariffs, the value of our imports subject to tariffs, the rate of tariffs applied, the timing and duration of tariffs, the implementation of tariff and non-tariff countermeasures by countries subject to U.S. tariffs, and our ability to mitigate the impacts of tariffs by availing ourselves of applicable exemptions. Changes in any of these factors and actual tariff costs incurred could significantly affect the estimates inherent in our financial statements, including those used in our estimates-at-completion (“EACs”), and estimates supporting the recoverability of our inventories, contract assets, intangible assets, and goodwill, and could have a material effect on our results of operations and cash flows in the periods recognized and paid.

Added

The inability to obtain raw materials and equipment from suppliers could harm our business.

Added

We are affected by the availability and price of raw materials and equipment that we use to manufacture our products. Our ability to manage inventory and meet delivery requirements may be constrained by our suppliers’ ability to adjust delivery of long-lead time products, especially during times of volatile demand. Our supply chain could be disrupted by external events such as governmental actions pertaining to tariffs, legislative or regulatory changes, labor disputes, and pandemics. For example, tariffs, duties or other trade policy changes affecting the import or export of raw materials and equipment could increase costs or limit the availability of critical inputs to our business. As a result, our suppliers may fail to provide the raw materials and/or equipment we require to fulfill our customer contracts, which could result in reduced revenues and profits, contract penalties or terminations, and damage to our customer relationships and reputation. Further, if we are unable to pass along the increased costs to our customers, it could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Reworded

If the U.S. Government terminates a contract for convenience, the counterparty with whom we have contracted on a subcontract may terminate its contractsubcontract with us. As a result of any such termination, whether on a direct government contract or subcontract, we may recover only our incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If the U.S. Government terminates a direct contract with us for default, we may not even recover those amounts and instead may be liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered items and services from another source.

Reworded

In addition, the U.S. Government is typically required to open all programs to competitive bidding and, therefore, may not automatically renew any of its prime contracts. If one or more of our customers’ government prime or subcontracts is terminated or canceled, our failure to replace sales generated from such contracts would result in lower salesrevenues and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may not be successful in achieving expected operating efficiencies and sustaining or improving operating expense reductions, and may experience business disruptions associated with restructuring, performance centerfootprint consolidations, realignment, cost reduction, and other strategic initiatives.

Reworded

In recent years, we have implemented a number of restructuring, realignment, and cost reduction initiatives, including performance centerfootprint consolidations, organizational realignments, and reductions in our workforce. While we have realized some efficiencies from these actions, we may not realize the benefits of these initiatives to the extent we anticipated. Further, such benefits may be realized later than expected, and the ongoing difficulties in implementing these measures may be greater than anticipated, which could cause us to incur additional costs or result in business disruptions. In addition, if these measures are not successful or sustainable, we may have to undertake additional realignment and cost reduction efforts, which could result in significant additional charges. Moreover, if our restructuring and realignment efforts prove ineffective, our ability to achieve our other strategic and business plan goalsgoals, such as our VISION 2027 game plan for investors, may be adversely impacted.

Reworded

We may encounter difficulties as we execute our growth strategy to move up the value chain to become a more value added supplier of more complex assemblies. Difficulties we may encounter include, but are not limited to, the need for enhanced and expanded product design skills, enhanced ability to control and influence our suppliers, enhanced quality control systems and infrastructure, enhanced large-scale project management skills, and expanded industry certifications. Assuming incremental project design responsibilities would require us to assumebear additional risk in developing cost estimates and could expose us to increased risk of losses. ThereMoreover, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining the enhanced skills required to move up the value chain or that our customers will outsource such functions to us.

Additionally, many of our customers have the in-house capability to fulfill their manufacturing requirements.requirements, which could reduce the demand for our products. Our larger competitors may be able to compete more effectively for very large-scale contracts than we can by providing different or greater capabilities or benefits such as technical qualifications, past performance on large-scale contracts, geographic presence, price and availability of key professional personnel. If we are unable to successfully compete for new business, our net revenues growth and operating margins may decline.

Reworded

The future success of our business depends in large part upon our and our customers’ ability to maintain and enhance technological capabilities, develop and market manufacturing services that meet changing customer needs and successfully anticipate or respond to technological advances in manufacturing processes such as the incorporation of artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies on a cost-effective and timely basis, while meeting evolving industry and regulatory standards. To address these risks, we invest in product design and development,development and incur related capital expenditures. There can be no guarantee that our product design and development efforts will be successful, or that funds required to be invested in product design and development or incurred as capital expenditures will not increase materially in the future.future, or that our products and processes will satisfy evolving regulatory standards.

Certain of our manufacturing facilities and offices are leased and have lease terms that expire between 20252026 and 2034.2038. The majority of these leases provide renewalinclude options to extend at the fair market rental rate atupon the timeexpiration of renewal,their original terms, which, if renewed, could be significantly higher than our current rental rates. We may be unable to offset these cost increases by charging more for our products and services. Furthermore, continued economic conditions may continue to negatively impact and create greater pressure in the commercial real estate market, causing higher incidences of landlord default and/or lender foreclosure of properties, including properties occupied by us. While we maintain certain non-disturbance rights in most cases, it is not certain that such rights will in all cases be upheld and our continued right of occupancy in such instances could be potentially jeopardized. An occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Reworded

Additionally, if we choose to move any of our operations, those operations may be subject to additional relocation and recertification costs and associated risks of business interruption.

Added

From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are involved in various legal and other proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business. Any litigation, other legal proceedings or indemnity claims could result in an unfavorable judgment that may not be reversed upon appeal or in payments of substantial monetary damages or fines that may exceed our insurance coverage limits, or we may decide to settle on similarly unfavorable terms, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For instance, on October 17, 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) to resolve the Guaymas fire litigation (“Guaymas Fire Litigation”) against us. The Settlement Agreement provided for, among other things, the final dismissal of the Guaymas Fire Litigation with prejudice and a release of claims against us in exchange for the issuance of a payment of $150.0 million, $56.0 million of which was funded by our insurance carriers. We could also suffer an adverse impact on our reputation and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See Note 13 and Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further information.

Added

We face potential liability for property damage, personal injury, or death as a result of the failure of products designed or manufactured by us. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance (including aircraft product liability), any material product liability not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Reworded

The accuracy and appropriateness of certain costs and expenses used to substantiate our direct and indirect costs for the U.S. Government contracts are subject to extensive regulation and audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency, an arm of the U.S. DoD.DoW. Such audits and reviews could result in adjustments to our contract costs and profitability. However, we cannot ensure the outcome of any future audits and adjustments may be required to reduce net sales or profits upon the completion and final negotiation of such audits. If any audit or review were to uncover inaccurate costs or improper activities, we could be subject to penalties and sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from conducting future business with the U.S. Government. Any such outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Added

Prime contracts with our major customers that have contracts with various agencies of the U.S. Government are subject to numerous laws, regulations and certifications, which affect how we do business with our customers and may impose added costs to our operations. As a result, our business and contracts are subject to numerous extensive, complex, costly and evolving laws, regulations and restrictions, principally by the U.S. Government or its agencies. These laws, regulations and restrictions govern items including, but not limited to, the formation, administration and performance of U.S. Government contracts, disclosure of cost and pricing data, civil penalties for violations of false claims to the U.S. Government for payment, defining reimbursable costs, establishing ethical standards for the procurement process, controlling the import and export of defense articles and services, and cybersecurity requirements, such as Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (“CMMC”).

In addition, the U.S. Government may revise its procurement practices or adopt new contract rules and regulations at any time, including increased usage of fixed-price contracts, procurement reform, and compliance with cybersecurity requirements. Such changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or subcontracts or renew contracts or subcontracts under which we currently perform when those contracts expire and are subsequently opened for competitive bidding. Any new contracting methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us to implement and could adversely affect our future net revenues.

Added

In addition, our international operations subject us to numerous U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to import-export control, technology transfer restrictions, repatriation of earnings, exchange controls, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other similar antibribery laws, and the anti-boycott provisions of the U.S. Export Administration Act. Changes in regulations or political environments may affect our ability to obtain export licenses to deliver products to our international customers, and conduct business in foreign markets including investment, procurement and repatriation of earnings. Failure by us or our sales representatives or consultants to comply with these laws and regulations could result in certain liabilities and could possibly result in suspension or debarment from government contracts or suspension of our export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Reworded

We must comply with and are affected by laws and regulations relating to the award, administration and performance of U.S. Government contracts. Government contract laws and regulations affect how we do business with our customers and impose certain risks and costs on our business. A violation of specific laws and regulations,regulations by us, our employees, or others working on our behalf, such as a supplier or a venture partner, could harm our reputation and result in the imposition of fines and penalties, the termination of our contracts, suspension or debarment from bidding on or being awarded contracts, loss of our ability to export products or services and civil or criminal investigations or proceedings.

Removed

Prime contracts with our major customers that have contracts with various agencies of the U.S. Government are subject to numerous laws, regulations and certifications, which affect how we do business with our customers and may impose added costs to our business. As a result, our contracts and operations are subject to numerous extensive, complex, costly and evolving laws, regulations and restrictions, principally by the U.S. Government or their agencies. These laws, regulations and restrictions govern items including, but not limited to, the formation, administration and performance of U.S. Government contracts, disclosure of cost and pricing data, civil penalties for violations of false claims to the U.S. Government for payment, defining reimbursable costs, establishing ethical standards for the procurement process, controlling the import and export of defense articles and services, and cybersecurity requirements, such as Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (“CMMC”).

Removed

We are subject to various federal, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the use, storage, transport, discharge and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals and materials used and emissions generated during our manufacturing process. We do not carry insurance for these potential environmental liabilities. Any failure by us to comply with present or future regulations could subject us to future liabilities or the suspension of production, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Moreover, some environmental laws relating to contaminated sites can impose joint and several liability retroactively regardless of fault or the legality of the activities giving rise to the contamination. Compliance with existing or future environmental laws and regulations may require extensive capital expenditures, increase our cost or impact our production capabilities. Even if such expenditures are made, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply. We have been directed to investigate and take corrective action for groundwater contamination at certain sites and our ultimate liability for such matters will depend upon a number of factors. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further information.

Removed

From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are involved in various legal and other proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business. Any litigation, other legal proceedings or indemnity claims could result in an unfavorable judgment that may not be reversed upon appeal or in payments of substantial monetary damages or fines that may exceed our insurance coverage limits, or we may decide to settle on similarly unfavorable terms, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We could also suffer an adverse impact on our reputation and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See Note 14 and Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further information.

Removed

We face potential liability for property damage, personal injury, or death as a result of the failure of products designed or manufactured by us. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance (including aircraft product liability insurance), any material product liability not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Reworded

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances occur which could indicate potential impairment. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, management is required to make certain critical estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include projected salesrevenue levels, including the addition of new customers, programs or platforms and increased content on existing programs or platforms, improvements in manufacturing efficiency, and reductions in operating costs. Due to many variables inherent in the estimation of a business’s fair value and the relative size of our recorded goodwill, changes in estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on the results of our impairment analysis. If any of these or other estimates and assumptions are not realized in the future, or if market multiples decline, we may be required to record an impairment charge for goodwill.

Added

Removed

We expect to face increased costs and resources needed to comply with the SEC cybersecurity rule and cybersecurity threats.

Removed

The SEC adopted a rule, “Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance, and Incident Disclosure,” that enhances and standardizes disclosures regarding cybersecurity risk management and governance, as well as material cybersecurity incidents. Under this rule, public companies are required to make annual disclosures describing their processes for identifying and managing material cybersecurity risks, management’s role in assessing and managing such risks, and the Board of Directors’ oversight of cybersecurity risks. Companies also must disclose in a Form 8-K, the nature, scope, and timing of any material cybersecurity incidents identified and the material impact or reasonably likely material impact on the company within four business days of determining a cybersecurity incident is material. We expect to face increased costs to comply with this SEC cybersecurity rule, including increased costs for cybersecurity training, staffing, and management. In addition, the requirement to report cybersecurity incidents within such a short timeframe could mean there may not be sufficient time to halt a breach before having to report it, potentially giving the hackers an advantage.

Removed

Management has identified a material weakness in the past in our internal control over financial reporting which could, if not remediated, adversely impact the reliability of our financial reports, cause us to submit our financial reports in an untimely fashion, result in material misstatements in our financial statements and cause current and potential stockholders to lose confidence in our financial reporting, which in turn could adversely affect the trading price of our stock.

Removed

In our 2023 Form 10-K, we concluded there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, as we did not design and maintain effective controls over the accuracy of contract terms and the reasonableness of gross margin assumptions used to recognize revenue. Specifically, we did not verify that amendments to purchase orders and gross margin percentage assumptions used in our revenue recognition analysis were properly reviewed at a sufficient level of precision. The material weakness resulted in immaterial adjustments to net revenues and contract assets as of and for the quarterly and annual periods ending December 31, 2023. Thus, management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2023. This material weakness was remediated as of December 31, 2024.

Removed

Under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

WeDucommun differentiatedifferentiates ourselvesitself as a full-service solution-based provider, offering a wide range ofinnovative, value-added proprietary products and servicesmanufacturing solutions to our customers in our primary businesses of electronics, structures and integrated solutions. We operate through two primary business segments: Electronic Systems and Structural Systems, each of which is a reportable segment.

Economic Environment

Added

The Boeing Company

Added

In its 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) indicated that in 2025, global air traffic expanded to near historical trend rates on an annual basis. The growth occurred despite a lower than usual contribution from the North America market, which had stagnant demand, particularly in the low-cost space. International demand outpaced domestic demand on an annual basis as the international demand continue to build on the recovery momentum from 2024, including in China, lifting demand for wide-body airplanes. Based on these trends, both single-aisle and wide-body demand remain above current industry supply levels. Overall, Boeing is experiencing strong demand from their airplane customers globally.

Added

Boeing was one of our largest customers in 2025, and the 737 MAX was one of our highest commercial end use market revenue platforms. In early January 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) initiated an investigation into Boeing’s quality control system, which was followed by the agency announcing actions to increase its oversight of Boeing as well as not approving production rate increases or additional production lines for the 737 MAX until it was satisfied that Boeing attained full compliance with required quality control procedures. Subsequently, in July 2024, Boeing pleaded guilty to conspiracy fraud charges, which may result in additional external oversight on its manufacturing and quality control processes. More recently, Boeing announced that the FAA cleared Boeing’s plan to raise 737 MAX production from 38 airplanes to 42 airplanes per month.

Added

Since Boeing is one of our largest customers, if Boeing is unable to meet the full compliance of the FAA’s required quality control procedures, and/or recover from the impact of a labor strike, which extended from early August 2025 to mid-November 2025, in the near term, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Risk Factors included in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”).

Added

Airbus SE

Added

Airbus SE (“Airbus”) is aligned with Boeing’s view on international demand as its Global Services Forecast for Asia-Pacific (including China and India) anticipates that total services demand in the region will grow at a 5.2% compound annual growth rate through 2044, reaching an estimated market value of $138.7 billion. This sustained growth is expected to be underpinned by expanding air traffic and fleet growth. The region is also expected to remain the world’s fastest growing air travel market, with passenger traffic expected to rise by 4.4% annually, well above the global average of 3.6%.

Added

U.S. Government Tariffs

Added

Since February 2025, the U.S. government has issued several executive orders (“Executive Orders”), under various statutes, imposing tariffs on imports from most countries with whom the U.S. engages in trade. As such, during 2025, the United States reached bilateral trade agreements that recognize tariff-free trade of products within the scope of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft with the United Kingdom, Japan, and the European Union. Moreover, the United States applies a diverse range of reciprocal tariffs to imports originating from countries that have not concluded bilateral trade agreements with the United States. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the sweeping tariffs that the U.S. government had imposed through the Executive Orders issued pursuant to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) of 1977. However, the U.S. government subsequently imposed a global tariff of 10% (which could potentially increase to 15%) that went into effect on February 24, 2026, and which would be effective for 150 days unless they are extended by the U.S Congress.

Added

If the imposition of current tariff levels is sustained, our profitability, cash flows and the estimates inherent in our financial statements could be negatively affected to the extent we are either unable to claim duty exemptions or are unable to pass on such incremental tariffs to our customers. The actual financial impacts of tariffs are dependent upon various factors, most notably, the scope of goods covered by tariffs, the value of our imports subject to tariffs, the rate of tariffs applied, the timing and duration of tariffs, the implementation of tariff and non-tariff countermeasures by countries subject to U.S. tariffs, and our ability to mitigate the impacts of tariffs by availing ourselves of applicable exemptions. Changes in any of these factors and actual tariff costs incurred could significantly affect the estimates inherent in our financial statements, including those used in our estimates-at-completion (“EACs”), and estimates supporting the recoverability of our inventories, contract assets, intangible assets, and goodwill, and could have a material effect on our results of operations and cash flows in the periods recognized and paid.

Added

U.S. Government Budget

Added

On October 1, 2025, Congress failed to reach an agreement on funding the federal government, resulting in a shutdown until an agreement is reached. This resulted in the disruption of non-essential government services, with over hundreds of thousands of federal employees being furloughed or working without pay.

Added

On November 12, 2025, the U.S. Government enacted a continuing resolution (“CR”) to keep the government funded through January 30, 2026 while Congress works to enact full year fiscal year 2026 (“FY26”) remaining appropriation bills or an additional CR to fund government departments and agencies after January 30, 2026. In addition, on January 7, 2026, President Trump called for increasing the FY27 U.S. military budget to $1.5 trillion, significantly higher than the $901 billion approved by Congress for FY26. However, such increase in the military budget would require congressional authorization.

Added

On February 3, 2026, President Trump signed into law a funding package to end the brief U.S. Government shutdown. The legislation will ensure full year funding for the federal government through the end of September 2026, with the lone exception of funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Added

U.S. Taxation Legislation

Added

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which, among other things, provides a corporate tax provision change in reinstating the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development expenditures paid or incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further information.

Added

The OBBBA also provides a supplementary $156 billion to the DoW for obligations through 2029.

Added

Executive Order Regarding Modernizing Defense Acquisitions

Added

On April 9, 2025, the U.S. government issued an executive order requiring, among other things, a DoW review of its Major Defense Acquisition Programs to identify those programs that are 15% behind schedule, 15% over budget, unable to meet key performance parameters, or unaligned with the Secretary of Defense’s mission priorities for potential cancellation. Although Ducommun does not, at this time, believe the Executive Order will have a material impact on our business or results of operations, the longer-term ramifications, if any, to Ducommun will depend on a variety of factors including the formulation and implementation of the review criteria in the order, the review timeline, the Secretary of Defense’s mission priorities, and future budget determinations based on the results of such review.

Added

Guaymas Fire - Developments

Added

A neighboring, non-related manufacturing facility also suffered fire damage during the same time as the fire that severely damaged our Guaymas performance center in June 2020, and in November 2023, the occupant of the neighboring facility filed suit against us in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (the “District Court”) seeking unspecified amounts for damages relating to the fire (the “Guaymas Fire Litigation”). Subsequent to our quarter ended September 27, 2025, on October 17, 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve the Guaymas Fire Litigation against us. The Settlement Agreement provides for, among other things, the final dismissal of the Guaymas Fire Litigation against us with prejudice and a release of claims against us in exchange for us issuing a payment of $150.0 million, $56.0 million of which we expected at that time to be funded by our insurance carriers.

Added

On October 9, 2025, we also settled an ancillary subrogation claim related to the Guaymas fire for $1.4 million.

Added

Subsequent to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, on January 7, 2026, we entered into a binding confidential agreement (“Confidential Agreement”) to resolve an additional subrogation claim (“Additional Subrogation Claim”) against us related to the Guaymas fire. The Confidential Agreement provides for, among other things, the final dismissal of the Additional Subrogation Claim and a release of all claims against us, with prejudice, in exchange for us issuing a payment of $4.0 million. We do not believe there are any remaining subrogation or other claims relating to the Guaymas fire at this time other than by an insurer of the plaintiff in the Guaymas Fire Litigation based in Mexico for payments issued to its insured for damages allegedly incurred in the Guaymas fire, which we believe to be time barred.

Added

See Note 1 and Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further information.

In its 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) indicated that in 2024, global air traffic continue to expand beyond 2019 levels with domestic travel continuing to be the most robust and the single-aisle market following closely. International travel also surpassed pre-pandemic levels during 2024 and the wide-body market continues to improve with the international travel recovery. The transition in the international commercial market from recovery to normal market conditions is continuing to progress as China international travel remain below 2019 levels. For 2025, while both major large aircraft manufacturers, Boeing and Airbus SE, expect increases in build rates compared to 2024, the ramp up to date has been slower than initially expected and below pre-pandemic levels. In addition, Boeing, one of our largest customers, was notified by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) in early January 2024 that the FAA had initiated an investigation into Boeing’s quality control system. This notification was followed by the FAA announcing actions to increase its oversight of Boeing as well as not approving production rate increases or additional production lines for the 737 MAX until it is satisfied that Boeing is in full compliance with required quality control procedures. In July 2024, Boeing also pleaded guilty to conspiracy fraud charges, which may result in additional external oversight on its manufacturing and quality control process. Further, in September 2024, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751 voted to initiate a labor strike affecting more than 30,000 Boeing manufacturing employees primarily located in Washington state, and the manufacturing employees, after rejecting the contract offer in October, voted to approve the revised contract offer in November 2024. Since Boeing is one of our largest customers, if Boeing is unable to meet the full compliance of the FAA’s required quality control procedures, and/or recover from the impact of the labor strike in the near term, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Risk Factors included in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”).

Removed

SG&A expenses increased $18.9 million in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to BLR SG&A expenses of $4.7 million which did not exist for the full year in the prior year period, higher professional services fees of $6.3 million, of which $3.1 million was related to the unsolicited non-binding offer to acquire all the common stock outstanding of Ducommun Incorporated, higher compensation and benefits costs of $3.2 million, and higher stock-based compensation expense of $2.8 million.

Litigation Settlement and Related Costs, Net

Added

Litigation settlement and related costs, net increased $107.3 million in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to the litigation settlement with a neighboring, non-related manufacturing facility that also suffered fire damage during the same time as the fire that severely damaged our Guaymas performance center in June 2020 (“Guaymas Fire”). In addition, litigation settlement with two ancillary subrogation claims related to the Guaymas Fire. See Note 1 and Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further information.

Added

Interest expense decreased in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower interest rates along with a lower outstanding debt balance during the year, prior to the payments related to the litigation settlements during the three months ended December 31, 2025. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K for further information.

Removed

Interest expense decreased in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to the interest rate swaps that became effective as of January 1, 2024, along with a lower debt balance.

Reworded

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Added

We recorded an income tax benefit of $9.9 million (an effective tax rate of 22.5%) in 2025, compared to an income tax expense of $5.4 million (an effective tax rate of 14.7%) in 2024. The change to income tax benefit from income tax expense for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to a pre-tax loss, driven by litigation settlement and related costs, net of insurance recovery, in 2025 compared to a pre-tax income in 2024.

Added

The pre-tax loss in 2025 resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets for the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards to be recognized in future years. Based on our expectation of future taxable income, we expect to realize the deferred tax assets and, thus, did not record valuation allowances against them.

Removed

We recorded an income tax expense of $5.4 million (an effective tax rate of 14.7%) in 2024, compared to $0.5 million (an effective tax rate of 2.8%) in 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to higher pre-tax income for 2024 compared to 2023, which caused the research and development tax credits to have a lower income tax benefit impact on the effective tax rate. The lower income tax benefit on the effective tax rate was partially offset by lower income tax expense related to non-deductible book compensation expenses.

Reworded

Our unrecognized tax benefits were each$5.0 million and $4.5 million in 20242025 and 2023.2024, respectively. We record interest and penalty charges, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as a component of tax expense and unrecognized tax benefits. The amounts accrued for interest and penalty charges as of December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 were not significant. If recognized, $2.5$2.8 million would affect the effective income tax rate. As a result of statute of limitations set to expire in 2025, we expect decreases to our unrecognized tax benefits of $0.5 million in the next twelve months.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). Amongst other things, the OBBBA provides for several corporate tax provision changes including restoring the full expensing of qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025, reinstating the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development expenditures paid or incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and changes in the computations of U.S. taxation on international earnings for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. We completed the initial assessment of the OBBBA corporate tax provisions as they relate to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact to our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025. However, the OBBBA decreased our cash tax liability for 2025. We will continue to evaluate the full impact of the OBBBA corporate tax provision changes as additional guidance becomes available.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), which was signed into U.S. law in December 2017, eliminated the option to immediately deduct research and development expenditures in the year incurred under Section 174 effective January 1, 2022. The amended provision under Section 174 requires us to capitalize and amortize these expenditures over five years (for U.S.-based research). For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded an increase to income taxes payable of $8.1 million and an increase to net deferred tax assets of a similar amount. We are monitoring legislation for any further changes to Section 174 and the potential impact to our financial statements in 2025.

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

Since February 2025, the U.S. government has issued several executive orders (“Executive Orders”), under various statutes, imposing tariffs on imports from most countries with whom the U.S. engages in trade. As such, during 2025, the United States reached bilateral trade agreements that recognize tariff-free trade of products within the scope of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft with the United Kingdom, Japan, and the European Union. Moreover, the United States applies a diverse range of reciprocal tariffs to imports originating from countries that have not concluded bilateral trade agreements with the United States. OnIn February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the sweeping tariffs that the U.S. government had imposed through the Executive Orders issued pursuant to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) of 1977. However, the U.S. government subsequently imposed a global tariff of 10% (which could potentially increase to 15%) that went into effect on February 24, 2026, and which would be effective for 150 days unless they are extended by the U.SU.S. Congress. Additionally, in late July 2026, an Executive Order implementing tariffs under Section 304(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was issued imposing tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on non-exempt goods depending on the country of origin, and from which civil aircraft parts and components and goods qualifying under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement are exempt.

Boeing was one of our largest customers in 2025, and the 737 MAX was one of our highest commercial end use market revenue platforms. In early January 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) initiated an investigation into Boeing’s quality control system, which was followed by the agency announcing actions to increase its oversight of Boeing as well as not approving production rate increases or additional production lines for the 737 MAX until it was satisfied that Boeing attained full compliance with required quality control procedures. Subsequently, in July 2024, Boeing pleaded guilty to conspiracy fraud charges, which may result in additional external oversight on its manufacturing and quality control processes. More recently, Boeing announced that the FAA cleared Boeing’s plan to raise 737 MAX production from 3842 airplanes to 4247 airplanes per month. In addition, the FAA recently announced that Boeing can resume issuing airworthiness certificates for its 737 MAX aircraft.

A neighboring, non-related manufacturing facility, also suffered fire damage during the same time as the fire that severely damaged our Guaymas performance center and, in November 2023, the occupant of the neighboring facility filed suit against us in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California seeking unspecified amounts for damages relating to the fire. Subsequent to our quarter ended September 27, 2025, on October 3, 2025, we entered into a binding settlement term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) to resolve the Guaymas fire litigation against us. The Term Sheet provides for, among other things, the final dismissal of the Guaymas fire litigation against us with prejudice and a release of claims against us in exchange for us issuing a payment of $150.0 million, $56.0 million of which isat that time was expected to be funded by our insurance carriers.
