CHICAGO, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Madison Air Solutions Corporation $(MAIR)$ (the "Company" or "Madison Air"), a global provider of air quality solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

"We exist to make the world safer, healthier and more productive through the power of better air, and our second-quarter results reflect the strength of that purpose-driven strategy," said Jill Wyant, President and CEO. "Our differentiated Return on Air$(TM)$ approach is helping us win with customers across a diversified portfolio of commercial and residential applications. We delivered double-digit net sales growth, strong orders momentum and record backlog across a diverse set of end markets. The combination of strong first-half execution, continued customer demand and the visibility provided by our backlog gives us confidence to raise our full-year outlook. These results also reflect the dedication of our people, our entrepreneurial culture and the deep partnerships we build with customers. Together, those strengths help customers achieve better outcomes through better air while creating sustainable long-term value."

Recent highlights include:

   -- Continued Commercial growth momentum, with orders up 45% on a combined 
      basis, driven by wins in mission-critical applications including, liquid 
      cooling, semiconductor cleanrooms and public health laboratories, while 
      expanding Healthy Air Systems adoption through contractor engagement in 
      Residential. 
   -- Raised full-year net sales guidance given strong first-half performance 
      and continued revenue visibility. We now expect high-single-digit-plus 
      pro forma net sales growth (range of $3,825 to $3,925 million). In 
      addition, we expect high-single-digit to low-double-digit pro forma 
      Adjusted EBITDA growth (range of $1,020 to $1,065 million). 
   -- Continued to strengthen our entrepreneurial culture, with employee 
      engagement scores increasing four percentage points year-over-year, and 
      strong retention, where monthly voluntary turnover remained approximately 
      30% below industry benchmarks. 
   -- Successfully completed our initial public offering ("IPO") and concurrent 
      private placement on April 17, 2026, generating net proceeds of $2,584.2 
      million. Together with $41.5 million of cash on hand, these proceeds were 
      used to repay $2,625.7 million of outstanding borrowings. Net leverage 
      was 2.8x as of June 30, 2026. 
   -- Strengthened financial flexibility by increasing our revolving credit 
      facility commitment to $1,300.0 million, resulting in $1,294.3 million 
      available capacity under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 
      2026. 
   -- Reduced annual interest expense by repricing the remaining Incremental 
      Term Loan Facility in June 2026, lowering the spread by 100 bps and 
      removing the margin step-up and step-down. Following the amendment, the 
      applicable margin is 1.75%.

*Note: When the Company provides expectations for non-GAAP measures on a 
forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the 
non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures generally is not 
available without unreasonable effort, because certain material reconciling 
items, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and provision 
for income tax cannot be estimated due to factors outside of the Company's 
control and could have a material impact on the reported results. See

Madison Air generated $156.4 million of cash flow from operations and had net investment of $16.4 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $140.0 million. This compares to $160.4 million of cash flow from operations, $8.0 million in net capital expenditure investments, and $152.4 million in free cash flow for the prior-year period.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $261.8 million and a balance available on its revolving credit facility of $1,294.3 million. Total debt was $3,053.7 million at quarter-end. Net proceeds from the IPO and concurrent private placement, together with $77.1 million of cash on hand, were used to repay $2,661.2 million of outstanding borrowings under the Initial Term Loan Facility and Incremental Term Loan Facility, consisting of $2,425.7 million of principal and $35.5 million of accrued interest on our Initial Term Loan and $158.4 million of principal and $41.6 million of accrued interest on our Incremental Term Loan.

JJ Foley, Chief Financial Officer, said, "Our cash flow and balance sheet demonstrate the discipline at the core of our business. We delivered strong free cash flow in the quarter, with capital expenditures less than 1% of net sales and free cash flow conversion of 123.3%, enabling us to invest behind attractive growth opportunities, strengthen our balance sheet and maintain the flexibility to create value over the long term. Combined with our Return on Air(TM) value proposition, we are well positioned to scale in advantaged markets and compound value over the long term."

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA, NON-GAAP MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

Following are tables that present the Company's selected financial data.

Madison Air reports its financial results in accordance with United States GAAP. We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for related GAAP measures. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparison with such other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables. The tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measurements.

Organic sales and organic sales growth are non-GAAP financial measures. We define organic sales and organic sales growth rate as net sales and net sales growth rate as adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures and currency exchange rates. Sales from acquired businesses are excluded from the organic sales and organic sales growth calculation for the first 12 months following the acquisition date, while sales from divested businesses are excluded for the 12 months preceding the divestiture. Organic sales and organic sales growth are based on continuing operations and exclude sales from discontinued operations.

Free Cash Flow ("FCF") is a non-GAAP liquidity measure. We define FCF as net cash flows provided by operating activities--continuing operations less purchases of property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment.

Free Cash Flow Conversion is a non-GAAP liquidity measure. We define Free Cash Flow Conversion as free cash flow divided by net income (loss) from continuing operations.

Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as net sales less cost of goods sold, excluding the purchase accounting impacts of acquisitions such as amortization related to technology-related intangible assets and purchase accounting inventory adjustments.

Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted Gross Profit Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) as adjusted for net (income) loss from discontinued operations, interest and financing expenses, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring expenses, equity appreciation rights expense, non-operating expenses (income), allocated Madison Industries costs, and non-recurring professional and consulting expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales for the same period.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) as adjusted for certain items that impact comparability from period to period. These adjustments include net (income) loss from discontinued operations, amortization expense, acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring expenses, equity appreciation rights expense, non-operating expenses (income), allocated Madison Industries costs, non-recurring professional and consulting expenses, and the tax effect of net income (loss) adjustments.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is earnings per share.

Adjusted Net Income Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted Net Income Margin as Adjusted Net Income divided by net sales for the same period.

Net debt is a non-GAAP liquidity measure. We define net debt as total debt adjusted for discounts and financing fees, net and cash and cash equivalents.

Net leverage is a non-GAAP liquidity measure. We define Net Leverage as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis ("TTM").

Backlog is a key performance indicator used to assist us in evaluating the performance of our business. Backlog represents the total expected future revenue from confirmed customer orders that have been received but not yet shipped or rendered as of a given date. Backlog is applicable to sales of products and systems and services. However, the timing and conversion of backlog is subject to numerous uncertainties and risks and are not necessarily indicative of the amount of revenue to be earned in the upcoming fiscal year.
