Net sales for the quarter increased 23%, or $504 million, to $2,741 million from $2,237 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. Organic sales growth as a percentage of net sales was 13%. Net income for the quarter increased $47 million, or 10%, to $540 million from $493 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase in net income primarily reflects the increase in net sales described above and the application of our value-driven operating strategy. The increase was partially offset by higher selling and administration expense and higher interest expense. Adjusted net income for the quarter increased 12% to $624 million, or $10.87 per share, from $558 million, or $9.60 per share, in the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA for the quarter increased 20% to $1,345 million from $1,123 million for the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the quarter increased 19% to $1,447 million compared with $1,217 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 52.8% compared with 54.4% in the comparable quarter a year ago.
"Our team executed another strong quarter, and we are very pleased with our results," stated Mike Lisman, TransDigm Group's CEO. "All three of our major market channels again delivered double-digit growth compared to the prior year's third quarter. Commercial aftermarket growth of 17% remained strong this quarter. Commercial OEM grew nicely as well as the aircraft OEMs continue to increase build rates. Meanwhile, Defense saw another quarter of consistent growth and also built sizable backlog. Our reported EBITDA As Defined margin for the quarter was 52.8%. Adjusting for acquisition dilution, our base businesses continued to expand EBITDA margins on a year-over-year basis as the team executes on our value drivers. After the quarter ended, we announced the acquisition of Prince & Izant for approximately $1.07 billion. Prince & Izant's highly engineered, proprietary products are sold primarily into the aerospace and defense, aeroderivative turbine, and transportation end markets, and we believe the business will be an excellent fit within TransDigm. Additionally, during the third quarter, we returned capital of approximately $1.0 billion to our shareholders through share repurchases bringing our year-to-date repurchases of our common stock to over $1.8 billion. As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2026, we have significant liquidity and financial flexibility to address any likely range of capital requirements and remain highly focused on our capital allocation. As always, we remain committed to our operating strategy and the TransDigm value drivers. We look forward to the opportunity to continue creating value for our shareholders as we finish our fiscal 2026."
