MTU Aero Engines has reported adjusted operating profit of more than €1 billion for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, surpassing this threshold for the first time. The Munich-based engine manufacturer increased its adjusted revenue by 13% to €7.1 billion. Its commercial maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) business once again delivered particularly strong growth, with revenue rising 19% to €5.1 billion.
The financial results show that demand for aircraft engine maintenance and overhaul services remains high. Geared turbofan maintenance is a major contributor to this growth, now accounting for approximately 45% of MTU’s commercial MRO revenue. Despite the increase in operating profit, the company’s adjusted EBIT margin declined from 15.9% to 14.6%.
Demand for MTU Products and Services Remains Strong
MTU CEO Dr. Johannes Bussmann highlighted the company’s continued strong performance and sustained demand for its products and services. Against this backdrop, MTU has updated its revenue guidance and raised its cash conversion rate outlook for the second time this year.
