TD Cowen 47th Annual Aerospace & Defense Conference summary
12 Feb, 2026Strategic transformation and operational initiatives
Leadership implemented an 80/20 initiative to improve margins, focusing on pricing, simplification, and portfolio shaping since 2023.
Rationalized manufacturing footprint, divested non-core businesses, and created focused factories to streamline operations.
80/20 analysis led to customer and product stratification, prioritizing high-value customers and products for growth and resource allocation.
Over 80% of revenue now managed under the 80/20 framework, with ongoing efforts to embed this approach into management processes.
Continuous improvement is emphasized, integrating Lean and other tools to sustain operational gains.
Customer and product rationalization outcomes
Customers are now tiered (platinum to tin), with differentiated service levels and incentives for higher engagement.
Product lines that are unprofitable or at end-of-life are repriced or discontinued, with some transitioned to distributors.
Enhanced focus on top-tier customers has resulted in significant new and repeat orders, such as $100M+ contracts with Lockheed Martin.
Operational excellence recognized by customers, including awards for on-time delivery and quality.
The company is positioned on multiple high-growth missile programs, supporting future revenue expansion.
Capacity, growth, and capital investment
Missile-related business expected to grow from $200M in FY25 to $250M in FY26, with 20%+ growth rate.
Facility in Salt Lake City has capacity for 4x production rate increases without expansion, with new investments planned.
CapEx has been double that of peers, supporting readiness for increased demand across multiple sites.
