  • Commercial services revenue and total engine deliveries both increased over 35% year-over-year, with major engine wins from American, United, Delta, and Ryanair.

  • Robust backlog over $210B provides multi-year demand visibility, with RPO up 11% to $211.3B since year-end.

  • Operational improvements, including AI-driven efficiencies and expanded U.S. manufacturing, contributed to output growth and reduced turnaround times.

  • Supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures are expected to persist, but ongoing mitigation actions are in place.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
