Forward - looking statements 1 © 2024 AAR CORP. All rights reserved worldwide. Note: All results and expectations in the presentation reflect continuing operations unless otherwise noted. This presentation contains certain statements relating to future results, which are forward - looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect management’s expectations about future conditions, including, but not limited to continued demand in the commercial aviation market, the life and utilization of current generation aircraft, anticipated activities and benefits under extended, expanded and new services, supply and distribution agreements, opportunities for capital deployment and margin improvement, earnings performance, contributions from our recent acquisitions, the expansion of capacity in our hangars, expectations for our USM and parts supply businesses, and our 3 - 5 year organic targets. Forward - looking statements often address our expected future operating and financial performance and financial condition, or targets, goals, commitments, and other business plans, and often may also be identified because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. These forward - looking statements are based on the beliefs of Company management, as well as assumptions and estimates based on information available to the Company as of the dates such assumptions and estimates are made, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated, depending on a variety of factors, including: (i) factors that adversely affect the commercial aviation industry; (ii) adverse events and negative publicity in the aviation industry; (iii) a reduction in sales to the U.S. government and its contractors; (iv) cost overruns and losses on fixed - price contracts; (v) nonperformance by subcontractors or suppliers; (vi) a reduction in outsourcing of maintenance activity by airlines; (vii) a shortage of skilled personnel or work stoppages; (viii) competition from other companies; (ix) financial, operational and legal risks arising as a result of operating internationally; (x) inability to integrate acquisitions effectively and execute operational and financial plans related to the acquisitions, such as the acquisition of Trax USA Corp. and the Product Support Business of Triumph Group Inc.; (xi) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; (xii) circumstances associated with divestitures; (xiii) inability to recover costs due to fluctuations in market values for aviation products and equipment; (xiv) cyber or other security threats or disruptions; (xv) a need to make significant capital expenditures to keep pace with technological developments in our industry; (xvi) restrictions on use of intellectual property and tooling important to our business; (xvii) inability to fully execute our stock repurchase program and return capital to stockholders; (xviii) limitations on our ability to access the debt and equity capital markets or to draw down funds under loan agreements; (xix) non - compliance with restrictive and financial covenants contained in our debt and loan agreements; (xx) changes in or non - compliance with laws and regulations related to federal contractors, the aviation industry, international operations, safety, and environmental matters, and the costs of complying with such laws and regulations; and (xxi) exposure to product liability and property claims that may be in excess of our liability insurance coverage. Should one or more of those risks or uncertainties materialize adversely, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described. Those events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond our control. For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10 - K, Part I, “Item 1A, Risk Factors” and our other filings filed from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update any forward - looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Non - GAAP Financial Measures: This presentation includes certain non - GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the Appendix for additional information on these non - GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measures. Unless otherwise noted, the statements included and the information provided in this presentation are made as of September 23 , 2024.

Non - GAAP financial measures 8 © 2024 AAR CORP. All rights reserved worldwide. This presentation includes financial results for the Company with respect to adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted sales, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income, which are “non - GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We believe these non - GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful for investors as they illustrate our actual operating performance unaffected by the impact of certain items. When reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe these non - GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business and provide a means by which to compare our operating performance against that of other companies in the industries we compete. These non - GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is income from continuing operations before interest income (expense), other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock - based compensation, and items of an unusual nature including but not limited to business divestitures and acquisitions, workforce actions, COVID - related subsidies and costs, impairment and exit charges, facility consolidation and repositioning costs, investigation and remediation compliance costs, equity investment gains and losses, pension settlement charges, legal judgments, acquisition, integration and amortization expenses from recent acquisition activity, and significant customer events such as early terminations, contract restructurings, forward loss provisions, and bankruptcies. Adjusted operating income is adjusted EBITDA gross of depreciation and amortization and stock - based compensation. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G of the Exchange Act, we provide tables that reconcile the above - mentioned non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the Appendix at the end of this presentation. The Company is not providing a reconciliation of forward - looking adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted EPS growth to the most directly comparable forward - looking GAAP measure because the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. Each of the adjustments has not occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For this reason, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
