Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

AAR CORP. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein collectively as “AAR,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” unless the context indicates otherwise. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of AAR and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

We have prepared these statements without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 31, ~~2019~~2020 has been derived from audited financial statements. To prepare the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in comprehensive financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the SEC. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of AAR CORP. and its subsidiaries as of ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the ~~three- and nine-month~~three-month periods ended ~~February 29/28,~~August 31, 2020 and 2019, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the ~~nine-month~~three-month periods ended ~~February 29/28,~~August 31, 2020 and 2019, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the ~~three- and nine-month~~three-month periods ended ~~February 29/28,~~August 31, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

New Accounting Pronouncements ~~Adopted~~

~~In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases~~ (“ASC 842”), which amended the existing accounting standards for lease accounting. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements, including those classified as operating leases. In addition, ASC 842 requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about our leasing activities.

We adopted ASC 842 on June 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach. Under that approach, prior periods have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. A discussion of our revised accounting policy for leases is included in Note 10.

~~We have elected the package of practical expedients,~~ which must be elected as a package and applied consistently to all leases. This package permits us to not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, we have elected the practical expedients to not separate lease and non-lease components for both lessee and lessor relationships and to not apply the recognition requirements to leases with terms of less than twelve months.

Upon adoption of ASC 842 on June 1, 2019, we recognized operating lease ROU assets of $123.2 million and operating lease liabilities of $116.8 million on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These amounts included operating lease ROU assets of $26.6 million and operating lease liabilities of $25.3 million related to our discontinued operations. In addition, we recognized the remaining unamortized deferred gains of $2.5 million, net of tax, associated with sale-leaseback transactions as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of June 1, 2019.

~~The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows.~~

~~In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,~~ ~~Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income~~. This ASU permits the reclassification of tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) to retained earnings. The FASB made the reclassification optional and we did not exercise the option to reclassify the stranded tax effects caused by the Tax Reform Act.

~~New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted~~

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires a change in the measurement approach for credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis from an incurred loss method to an expected loss method, thereby eliminating the requirement that a credit loss be considered probable to impact the valuation of a financial asset measured on an amortized cost basis. This ASU also requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast of the collectability of the related financial asset. ~~We continue to evaluate the impact~~

Our adoption of ~~this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and expect to adopt~~ this ASU on June 1, ~~2020.~~2020 did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 – Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we decided to pursue the sale of our Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (“COCO”) business previously included in our Expeditionary Services segment. Due to this strategic shift, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of our COCO business have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

During fiscal 2019, we signed an agreement to sell our U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) contracts and certain assets of our COCO business. In conjunction with this agreement and other expected asset sales, we recognized an impairment charge in discontinued operations of $74.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 reflecting the expected net proceeds to be received upon the completion of the sale transactions.

In fiscal 2020, we signed an agreement to sell the remaining operating contract of the COCO business and recognized an impairment charge of $11.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 related to the disposal of the remaining COCO assets. The sale of the DoD contracts and related assets was completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and the sale of the remaining operating contract was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 shortly after government approval.

~~NaN amounts for general corporate overhead or~~ ~~interest~~ ~~expense were allocated to discontinued operations during the periods presented.~~ Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to our continuing operations.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we completed the sale of the last operating contract of the COCO business shortly after government approval. Our continuing involvement in the COCO business is limited to the lease of certain aircraft which is an obligation of the acquirer of this contract. The assets and liabilities of our discontinued operations are primarily comprised of right-of-use assets and lease-related liabilities.

On August 31, 2020, we completed the sale of our aerostructures and aerospace products operations located in Clearwater, Florida and Sacramento, California (“Composites”). The Composites business was formerly included in our Expeditionary Services segment. The sale of Composites is consistent with our multi-year strategy to focus our portfolio on our core services offerings and the transaction will allow us to further prioritize our efforts in our principal businesses.

We recognized a loss on the sale of the Composites business of $19.5 million which included consideration of $2.3 million. Consideration from the sale is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment and includes contingent consideration of up to $6.5 million based on the achievement of sales targets over the next three years. Consideration included in the loss on sale was $2.3 million which was comprised of net cash received of $1.0 million and the fair value of the earn-out consideration of $1.3 million.

Note 34 – Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. ~~The Company recognizes~~We recognize revenue when ~~it satisfies~~we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.

Our unit of accounting for revenue recognition is a performance obligation included in our customer contracts. A performance obligation reflects the distinct good or service that we must transfer to a customer. At contract inception, we evaluate if the contract should be accounted for as a single performance obligation or if the contract contains multiple performance obligations. In some cases, our contract with the customer is considered one performance obligation as it includes factors such as the good or service being provided is significantly integrated with other promises in the contract, the service provided significantly modifies or customizes another good or service or the good or service is highly interdependent or interrelated. If the contract has more than one performance obligation, the Company determines the standalone price of each distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation and allocates the transaction price based on their relative standalone selling prices.

The transaction price of a contract, which can include both fixed and variable amounts, is allocated to each performance obligation identified. Some contracts contain variable consideration, which could include incremental fees or penalty provisions related to performance. Variable consideration that can be reasonably estimated based on current assumptions and historical information is included in the transaction price at the inception of the contract but limited to the amount that is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Variable consideration that cannot be reasonably estimated is recorded when known.

Our performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time based on transfer of control of products and services to our customers. The majority of our sales from products are recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. In connection with certain sales of products, we also provide logistics services, which include inventory management, replenishment, and other related services. The price of such services is generally included in the price of the products delivered to the customer, and revenues are recognized upon delivery of the product, at which point the customer has obtained control of the product. We do not account for these services separate from the related product sales as the services are inputs required to fulfill part orders received from customers.

For our performance obligations that are satisfied over time, we measure progress in a manner that depicts the performance of transferring control to the customer. As such, we utilize the input method of cost-to-cost to recognize revenue over time as this depicts when control of the promised goods or services ~~are~~is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to date to the estimated total cost at completion of the performance obligation. We are required to make certain judgments and estimates, including estimated revenues and costs, as well as inflation and the overall profitability of the arrangement. Key assumptions involved include future labor costs and efficiencies, overhead costs, and ultimate timing of product delivery. Differences may occur between the judgments and estimates made by management and actual program results. For contracts that are

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

deemed to be loss contracts, we establish forward loss reserves for total estimated costs that are in excess of total estimated consideration in the period in which they become known.

When contracts are modified, we consider whether the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications that are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration with the original goods or services provided, are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract with the effect of the contract modification recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. When the modifications include additional performance obligations that are distinct, they are accounted for as a new contract and performance obligation, which are recognized prospectively.

Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our arrangements accounted for using the cost-to-cost method are recorded using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. These changes are primarily adjustments ~~relate~~ to the estimated profitability for our long-term ~~power-by-the-hour (“PBH”)~~ programs where we provide component inventory management ~~and~~and/or repair ~~services and certain long-term government programs.~~

services. For the three-month period ended ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020, ~~we recognized favorable and unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $4.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For the three-month period ended February 28, 2019,~~ we recognized favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of ~~$0.8 million, respectively. When considering these adjustments on a net basis, we recognized net favorable adjustments~~$0.3 million. In the first quarter of ~~$2.5 million and $0.8 million in the three-month periods ended February 29/28, 2020 and 2019, respectively.~~

~~For the nine-month period ended February 29,~~fiscal 2020, we ~~recognized~~did not have any favorable ~~and~~or unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $6.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For the nine-month period ended February 28, 2019, we recognized favorable and unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $4.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. When considering these adjustments on a net basis, we recognized net favorable adjustments of $4.4 million and $4.1 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29/28, 2020 and 2019, respectively.adjustments.

Under most of our U.S. government contracts, if the contract is terminated for convenience, we are entitled to payment for items delivered and fair compensation for work performed, the costs of settling and paying other claims, and a reasonable profit on the costs incurred or committed.

We have elected to use certain practical expedients permitted under ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in ~~cost~~Cost of sales inon our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, and are not considered a performance obligation to our customers. Our reported sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations are net of any sales or related non-income taxes. We also utilize the “as invoiced” practical expedient in certain cases where performance obligations are satisfied over time and the invoiced amount corresponds directly with the value we are providing to the customer.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The timing of revenue recognition, customer billings, and cash collections results in a contract asset or contract liability at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets consist of ~~unbilled receivables or~~ costs incurred where revenue recognized over time

using the cost-to-cost model exceeds the amounts billed to customers. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Certain customers make advance payments prior to the satisfaction of our performance obligations on the contract. These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such performance obligations are satisfied, either over time as costs are incurred or at a point in time when deliveries are made. Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract-by-contract basis.

Net contract assets and liabilities are as follows:

	2020		2019		Change		2020		2020		Change

Contract assets – non-current is reported within Other non-current assets, and Contract liabilities – current is reported within Accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing difference between our performance of services and payments from customers.

During the ~~three-month period ended February 29, 2020,~~first quarter of fiscal 2021, we terminated a commercial power-by-the-hour ("PBH") customer contract ~~with~~which resulted in a ~~commercial PBH customer and restructured contracts with two other PBH customers. After the restructuring, those two contracts were deemed loss contracts requiring the establishment~~charge of $2.2 million. During fiscal 2020, we established forward loss reserves for ~~the~~a certain PBH contract where total estimated costs ~~that~~ are in excess of the total estimated consideration over the remainder of the ~~contracts. The impact from these actions resulted in a charge~~contract. As of ~~$24.7 million during the three-month period ended February 29,~~August 31, 2020, ~~which~~our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included ~~a reduction in contract assets and revenue of $9.8 million and the establishment of~~remaining forward loss reserves of $3.5 million with $1.6 million classified as current in Accrued liabilities and ~~other related charges of $14.9 million.~~$1.9 million classified as long-term in Other liabilities.

Changes in our deferred revenue ~~after adoption of ASC 606 on June 1, 2018,~~ were as follows for the ~~three- and nine-month~~three-month periods ended ~~February 29/28,~~August 31, 2020 and 2019:

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020, we had approximately ~~$1.1~~$1.0 billion of remaining performance obligations, also referred to as firm backlog, which excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under our indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts. We expect that approximately ~~40%~~60% of this backlog will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months with the majority of the remainder recognized over the next three years. The amount of remaining performance obligations ~~which is~~that are expected to be recognized as revenue beyond 12 months, primarily relates to our long-term ~~power-by-the-hour~~ programs where we provide component inventory management and /or repair services.

Note 45 – Accounts Receivable

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of market or credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. While our trade receivables are diverse and represent a number of entities and geographic regions, the majority are with the U.S. government and its contractors and entities in the aviation industry.

Note 6 – Restructuring and Impairment Costs

During the three-month period ended August 31, 2020, we incurred severance and furlough-related costs of $6.0 million which were included as a component of Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our liability for severance costs, inclusive of charges in prior periods which have not yet been paid, was $7.3 million as of August 31, 2020 and is included in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, we are required to test for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows. We utilize certain assumptions to estimate future undiscounted cash flows, including demand for our services, future market conditions and trends, business development pipeline of opportunities, current and future lease rates, lease terms, and residual

In light of recent declines in commercial airline volumes and commercial program contract terminations, we evaluated future cash flows related to certain rotable assets supporting long-term programs and recognized asset impairment charges of $5.8 million in the three-month period ended August 31, 2020.

Note 57 – Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock

In the three-month period ended August 31, ~~2019,~~2020, as part of our annual long-term stock incentive compensation, we granted ~~52,475 shares of performance-based restricted stock and 56,535~~141,615 shares of time-based restricted stock to eligible employees.

Note 810 – Sale of Receivables

On February 23, 2018, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Citibank N.A. (“Purchaser”) for the sale, from time to time, of certain accounts receivable due from certain customers (the “Purchase Agreement”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the maximum amount of receivables sold is limited to $150 million and Purchaser may, but is not required to, purchase the eligible receivables we offer to sell. The term of the Purchase Agreement runs through February 22, 2021, however, the Purchase Agreement may also be terminated earlier under certain circumstances. The term of the Purchase Agreement shall be automatically extended for annual terms unless either party provides advance notice that they do not intend to extend the term.

We have 0 retained interests in the sold receivables, other than limited recourse obligations in certain circumstances, and only perform collection and administrative functions for the Purchaser. We account for these receivable transfers as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and de-recognize the sold receivables from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During the ~~nine-month period~~three-month periods ended ~~February 29/28,~~August 31, 2020 and 2019, we sold ~~$588.8~~$129.0 million and ~~$547.6~~$199.0 million, respectively, of receivables under the Purchase Agreement and remitted ~~$589.4~~$147.6 million and ~~$519.8~~$199.0 million, respectively, to the Purchaser on their behalf. As of ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020 and May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had collected cash of ~~$27.9~~$6.4 million and ~~$19.8~~$20.0 million, respectively, which was not yet remitted to the Purchaser as of those dates and was classified as Restricted cash on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We recognize discounts on the sale of our receivables and other fees related to the Purchase Agreement in Other expense, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We incurred discounts on the sale of our receivables of ~~$0.4~~$0.1 million and $0.6 million during the three-month periods ended ~~February 29/28, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.5 million and $1.6 million during the nine-month periods ended February 29/28,~~August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 11 – Government Subsidies

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in the U.S. in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carrybacks, and other areas. The payroll tax deferral requires that the deferred payroll taxes be paid over two years, with half of the amount required to be paid by December 31, 2021 and the other half by December 31, 2022. As of August 31, 2020, we deferred $7.4 million of payroll taxes which are included in Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During the three-month period ended August 31, 2020, we received $57.2 million from the U.S. Treasury Department through the Payroll Support Program under the CARES Act. This funding included a $48.5 million cash grant which is to be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of employee wages, salaries and benefits for employees of certain maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“ MRO”) facilities. The grant is being recognized as contra-expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as the eligible wages, salaries and benefits are incurred. During the three-month period ended August 31, 2020, we recognized contra-expense within Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expenses of $7.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The remaining funding of $8.7 million is a low interest 10-year senior unsecured promissory note (“Promissory Note”) which bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) 1.0% for the first five years, and the applicable secured overnight financing rate plus 2.0% in years six through ten plus (ii) in kind interest of 3.0% for the first five years and increasing by 1.0% each year over the remaining term. The Promissory Note is pre-payable at par at any time. Certain corporate restrictions apply to us for approximately the next two years which include restrictions on dividends, stock repurchases, employee compensation, and certain workforce actions.

Other countries have enacted similar legislation to provide relief and stimulus measures to assist companies in mitigating the financial impact from COVID-19 and supporting their employees. During the three-month period ended August 31, 2020, our foreign

At ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020, our ~~variable rate~~ debt had a fair value that approximates its carrying value and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

On October 18, 2017, we entered into a Credit Agreement with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as lender (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided a Canadian $31 million term loan with the proceeds used to fund the acquisition of 2 ~~maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”)~~MRO facilities in Canada from Premier Aviation. The term loan is due in full at the expiration of the Credit Agreement on November 1, 2021 unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable monthly on the term loan at the offered fluctuating Canadian Dollar Offer Rate plus 125 to 225 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Bankers’ Acceptances loan, or at the offered fluctuating Prime Rate plus 25 to 125 basis points based on certain financial measurements, if a Prime Rate loan.

~~On September 25, 2019, we entered into an amendment to our~~We maintain a Revolving Credit Facility ~~that extended~~with various financial institutions, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the ~~maturity of~~lenders, which provides the ~~Revolving Credit Facility to September 25, 2024, increased the~~Company an aggregate revolving credit commitment toof $600 million and ~~modified certain other provisions.~~matures September 25, 2024. Under certain circumstances, we have the ability to request, but our lenders are not required to grant, an increase to the revolving credit commitment by an aggregate amount of up to ~~$300~~$300 million, not to exceed $900 million in total. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the offered Eurodollar Rate plus 87.5 to 175 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Eurodollar Rate loan, or at the offered fluctuating Base Rate plus 0 to 75 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Base Rate loan.

Our financing arrangements also require us to comply with leverage and interest coverage ratios, maintain a minimum net working capital level, and comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including those relating to financial reporting and notification, payment of indebtedness, cash dividends, taxes and other obligations, compliance with applicable laws, and limitations on additional liens, indebtedness, acquisitions, investments and disposition of assets. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires our significant domestic subsidiaries, and any subsidiaries that guarantee our other indebtedness, to provide a guarantee of payment under the Revolving Credit Facility. At ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the financial and other covenants in our financing agreements.

Note 1013 – ~~Leases~~Other Non-current Assets

We lease facilities, offices, vehicles, and equipment. We determine at inception whether an arrangement that provides us control over the use of an asset is a lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Our lease agreements do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate nor is it available to us from our lessors. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement in order to discount lease payments to present value.

~~(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)~~

Our lease costs are allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis unless another systematic or rational basis is more representative of the pattern in which the underlying asset is expected to be used. ROU assets are evaluated for impairment in a manner consistent with the treatment of other long-lived assets.

Certain leases include options to renew or extend the terms of the lease, which are included in the determination of the ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Our leases may also include variable lease payments such as escalation clauses based on consumer price index rates, maintenance costs and utilities. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the determination of ROU assets and lease liabilities using the index or rate at the lease commencement date, whereas variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

License Fees

In June 2011, we entered into a ten-year agreement with Unison Industries (“Unison”) to be the exclusive worldwide aftermarket distributor for Unison’s electrical components, sensors, switches and other systems for aircraft and industrial uses. In June 2020, we entered into an extension and expansion of our agreement with Unison including a new termination date of December 31, 2031, an initial $25.0 million license fee paid in June 2020 to Unison, and annual license fees at a fixed percentage of our net sales of Unison products. The June 2020 payment of $25.0 million was capitalized and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the new agreement.

Note 1214 – Earnings per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to stock options and shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock awards.

In accordance with ASC 260-10-45, Share-Based Payment Arrangements and Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method, our unvested restricted stock awards are deemed participating securities since these shares are entitled to participate in dividends declared on common shares. During periods of net income, the calculation of earnings per share for common stock excludes income attributable to unvested restricted stock awards from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those shares from the denominator. During periods of net loss, 0 effect is given to the participating securities because they do not share in the losses of the Company.

Note 1416 – Business Segment Information

Consistent with how our chief operating decision making officer (Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance and the way we are organized internally, we report our activities in 2 ~~operating~~reportable segments: Aviation Services comprised of supply chain and MRO activities and Expeditionary Services comprised of manufacturing activities.

The Aviation Services segment consists of aftermarket support and services offerings that provide spare parts and maintenance support for aircraft operated by our commercial and government/defense customers. Sales in the Aviation Services segment are derived from the sale and lease of a wide variety of new, overhauled and repaired engine and airframe parts and components to the commercial aviation and government and defense markets. We provide customized inventory supply chain management, performance-based logistics programs, customer fleet management and operations, and aircraft component repair management services. The segment also includes repair, maintenance and overhaul of aircraft, landing gear and components. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product, direct labor, and overhead.

The Expeditionary Services segment consists of primarily manufacturing operations with sales derived from the design and manufacture of pallets, shelters, and containers used to support the U.S. military’s requirements for a mobile and agile force including engineering, design, and system integration services for specialized command and control systems. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of material to manufacture products, direct labor and overhead.

The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2020.

Our chief operating decision making officer (Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance based on our segments and utilizes gross profit as a primary profitability measure. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting cost of sales from sales. The assets and certain expenses related to corporate activities are not allocated to the segments.

Note 1517 – Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding (including any governmental or environmental proceeding) other than routine litigation incidental to our business except for the following:

Department of Justice Investigation

The U.S. Department of Justice (“DoJ”), acting through the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Illinois, is conducting an investigation of AAR Airlift Group, Inc. (“Airlift”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAR CORP., under the federal civil False Claims Act (“FCA”). The investigation relates to Airlift’s performance of several contracts awarded by the U.S. Transportation Command concerning the operations and maintenance of rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft in Afghanistan and Africa, as well as several U.S. Navy contracts. In June 2018, the DoJ informed Airlift that part of the investigation was precipitated by a lawsuit filed under the qui tam provisions of the FCA by a former employee of Airlift. That lawsuit remains under seal.

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Airlift is cooperating with the DoJ investigation. In order to explore whether a negotiated resolution of the matter is possible, and in an effort to minimize continuing legal defense costs, Airlift has entered into settlement discussions with the DoJ. Airlift believes it has meritorious defenses and counter-arguments to the concerns raised by the DoJ; however, there is no assurance that any settlement will be achieved. If no settlement is reached, the DoJ and the qui tam plaintiff could pursue civil litigation under the FCA, which provides for the recovery of, among other amounts, treble damages and penalties.

While we believe that it is probable that we will incur a loss from this matter, we cannot yet reasonably estimate the maximum amount of potential loss, nor can we provide any assurance that the ultimate resolution of the remaining exposure for this matter will not be material.

Self-Reporting of Potential Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Violations

The Company retained outside counsel to investigate possible violations of the Company’s Code of Conduct, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and other applicable laws, relating to the Company’s activities in Nepal and South Africa. Based on these investigations, in fiscal 2019, we self-reported these matters to the DoJ, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the UK Serious Fraud Office. The Company is fully cooperating with the reviews by these agencies, although we are unable at this time to predict what action, if any, they may take.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Dollars in millions)

General Overview

We report our activities in two ~~operating~~reportable segments: Aviation Services comprised of supply chain and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) activities and Expeditionary Services comprised of manufacturing activities.

The Expeditionary Services segment consists of primarily manufacturing operations with sales derived from the design and manufacture of pallets, shelters, and containers used to support the U.S. military’s requirements for a mobile and agile force including engineering, design, and system integration services for specialized command and control systems. ~~This segment also designs and manufactures advanced composite materials for commercial, business and military aircraft.~~ Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of material to manufacture products, direct labor and overhead.

Our chief operating decision making officer (Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance based on ~~the operating~~our segments and utilizes gross profit as a primary profitability measure. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting cost of sales from sales. The assets and certain expenses related to corporate activities are not allocated to the segments.

The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019 except for our revised accounting policy for leases. On June 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, which amended the existing accounting standards for lease accounting. Prior periods have not been restated for ASC 842 and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. A discussion of our revised accounting policy for leases is included in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.2020.

Business Trends and Outlook

In late fiscal 2020, we began to see the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the commercial aviation industry. In response to the impact from COVID-19, we implemented significant actions to reduce fixed costs and overhead which included a freeze on new hiring, reducing or eliminating all non-essential spend, reducing compensation and benefits, furloughs, a reduction in force, and closure of an airframe maintenance facility. We have also exited underperforming contracts and assets across our operations and decided to exit our joint venture investment in a Malaysian landing gear wheel and brake facility.

Additionally, we sold our composites manufacturing business in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 which resulted in a charge of $19.5 million. The sale of Composites is consistent with our multi-year strategy to focus our portfolio on our core services offerings and the transaction will allow us to further prioritize our efforts in our principal operations.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted in the U.S. in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we received $57.2 million from the U.S. Treasury Department through the Payroll Support Program under the CARES Act. This funding included a $48.5 million cash grant which is to be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of employee wages, salaries and benefits for employees of certain MRO facilities and a low interest 10-year senior unsecured promissory note of $8.7 million. The grant is being recognized as contra-expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as the eligible wages, salaries and benefits are incurred, with $7.7 million recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Consolidated sales for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of fiscal 2020 ~~increased $166.4~~decreased $140.7 million or ~~11.2% over~~26.0% from the prior year quarter primarily due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in sales of ~~$175.5~~$148.2 million or ~~12.5%~~29.0% in our Aviation Services segment. ~~While we are uncertain of the magnitude and length of any impact~~Consolidated sales to commercial customers decreased $160.9 million or 47.9% from the ~~coronavirus (“COVID-19”)~~prior year quarter due to the continued impact of COVID-19 and the slow recovery in commercial passenger air traffic. Our consolidated sales to government customers increased $20.2 million or 9.8% driven by execution on recent government contract awards including the ~~aviation industry,~~U.S. Air Force pallet contract award in our Mobility business.

Table of Contents

Over the long-term, we expect to see continued strength in our Aviation Services segment ~~over the long-term~~ given its offerings of value-added services to both commercial and government and defense customers. We believe long-term commercial aftermarket growth trends are ~~favorable. However, our~~favorable although there is uncertainty in certain fleet types as commercial operators re-evaluate their structure. Our results of operations are affected by the amount of commercial aircraft flying and flight hours. The current COVID-19 pandemic has decreased the amount of commercial aircraft flying and flight hours and has created significant economic disruption.

We believe the impact of COVID-19 will negatively affect our revenues and results of operations. However, in the fourth quarter, we will be taking actions to reduce our fixed costs and overhead by consolidating facilities with the goal to improve our operating efficiencies. Further, in response to the impact of COVID-19, we have taken actions including reducing executive compensation, freezing new hiring, reducing or eliminating all non-essential spend, furloughs and, unfortunately, reducing our workforce. We expect the cost of these fourth quarter actions to be approximately $15 to $20 million with the payback of these actions realized within one year. We remain prepared to take additional action as warranted to respond to the evolving airline demand environment.

Our cash on hand plus unused capacities on our Revolving Credit Facility was $432 million at February 29, 2020. In addition, we had availability of $92 million under our uncommitted accounts receivable financing program at that date.

Aviation Services Segment

Sales in the Aviation Services segment ~~increased $33.0~~decreased $148.2 million or ~~6.6% over~~29.0% from the prior year period due to a ~~$30.1~~$160.9 million or ~~20.5% increase~~48.7% decrease in sales to commercial customers. The decrease in sales to commercial customers was attributable to the impact of COVID-19 on commercial passenger air traffic which significantly reduced our volumes in our supply chain and MRO activities.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, sales in this segment to government and defense ~~customers. The~~customers increased $12.7 million or 7.0% over the prior year period. This increase ~~in sales to government and defense customers~~ was primarily attributable to growth from new contracts recently awarded.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, sales in this segment to commercial customers increased $2.9 million or 0.8% over the prior year period. Sales were reduced by $9.8 million related to the impact of restructuring actions, which included the exit of one customer contract and restructuring of two other customer contracts.

Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our arrangements accounted for using the cost-to-cost method are recorded using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we had net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $2.5 million. In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we recognized favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $0.8 million. These adjustments primarily relate to our long-term, power-by-the-hour programs where we provide component inventory management and repair services and certain long-term government programs.

Cost of sales in Aviation Services ~~increased $49.5~~decreased $112.8 million or ~~11.9% over~~26.1% from the prior year period primarily related to ~~contract loss provisions and related costs of $14.9 million for~~ the ~~restructuring activities impacting certain contracts.~~impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit in the Aviation Services segment decreased ~~$16.5~~$35.4 million or ~~20.2%~~44.3% from the prior year period. Gross profit on sales to commercial customers decreased ~~$19.7~~$37.2 million or ~~37.5%~~69.5% from the prior year period primarily due to the ~~restructuring~~

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations was ~~7.1%~~21.5% for the ~~third~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~an income tax benefit~~16.6% in the prior year period. The ~~current~~prior year quarter included excess tax benefits from stock ~~options exercises~~compensation of ~~$0.6~~$1.4 million which favorably impacted the effective tax rate. The prior year quarter included a tax benefit of $4.7 million related to the recognition of previously unrecognized uncertain tax positions and a tax benefit of $1.8 million related to tax provision to federal income tax return filing differences.

~~Nine Month Period Ended February 29, 2020~~

~~Aviation Services Segment~~

Sales in the Aviation Services segment increased $175.5 million or 12.5% over the prior year period primarily due to a $104.7 million or 25.2% increase in sales to government and defense customers. The increase in sales to government and defense customers was primarily attributable to new contracts awarded recently, including the $118 million contract for the procurement, modification and delivery of two C-40 aircraft we received in early fiscal 2020.

During the nine-month period ended February 29, 2020, sales in this segment to commercial customers increased $70.8 million or 7.2% over the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes in our MRO activities as our actions to attract and retain the necessary skilled labor have allowed us to capture the customer demand for these services.

Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our arrangements accounted for using the cost-to-cost method are recorded using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. During the nine-month period ended February 29, 2020, we had net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $4.4 million. During the nine-month period ended February 28, 2019, we recognized net favorable and unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $4.1 million. These adjustments primarily relate to our long-term, power-by-the-hour programs where we provide component inventory management and repair services and certain long-term government programs.

Cost of sales in Aviation Services increased $168.3 million or 14.3% over the prior year period, which was primarily related to the higher volumes in our MRO activities partially offset by the contract restructuring charges.

~~Table of Contents~~

Gross profit in the Aviation Services segment increased $7.2 million or 3.2% over the prior year period. Gross profit on sales to government and defense customers increased $5.9 million or 7.2% over the prior year primarily driven by the new government contract awards. Gross profit margin on sales to government and defense customers decreased to 16.9% from 19.7% as the gross profit margin on these recent contract awards is lower than our existing government and defense activity.

Gross profit on sales to commercial customers increased $1.3 million or 0.9% over the prior year period primarily due to the increased volume and improved profitability in our MRO activities partially offset by the contract restructuring charges across three commercial program customers. The gross profit margin on sales to commercial customers decreased to 13.6% from 14.4% primarily from the increased profitability in our MRO activities partially offset by the reduced gross profit margin in our commercial program activities.

~~Expeditionary Services Segment~~

Sales in the Expeditionary Services segment decreased $9.1 million or 10.1% from the prior year period primarily due to the timing of contract awards. Gross profit in the Expeditionary Services segment decreased $9.2 million or 82.9% from the prior period primarily due to operational challenges impacting profitability in the current year. Gross profit margin decreased to 2.3% from 12.3% primarily as a result of these operational challenges.

~~Provision for Doubtful Accounts~~

In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we recognized a provision for doubtful accounts of $12.4 million related to the bankruptcy of a European airline customer. The provision included impairment of non-current contract assets of $7.6 million, allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.3 million, and other liabilities of $1.5 million.

~~Selling, General and Administrative Expenses~~

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $21.2 million or 13.9% over the prior year period. As a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 10.5% from 10.2% in the prior year period. The increase as a percent of sales is primarily attributable to increased investigation and remediation compliance costs of $6.6 million.

~~Income Taxes~~

Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 19.4% for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2020 compared to 7.6% for the prior year period. The prior year period included a tax benefit of $4.7 million related to the recognition of previously unrecognized uncertain tax positions and a tax benefit of $1.8 million related to tax provision to federal income tax return filing differences.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position

Our operating activities are funded and commitments met through the generation of cash from operations. In addition to operations, our current capital resources include an unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and an accounts receivable financing program. Periodically, we may also raise capital through common stock and debt financings in the public or private markets. We continually evaluate various financing arrangements, including the issuance of common stock or debt, which would allow us to improve our liquidity position and finance future growth on commercially reasonable terms. Our continuing ability to borrow from our lenders and issue debt and equity securities to the public and private markets in the future may be negatively affected by a number of factors, including the overall health of the credit markets, general economic conditions, airline industry conditions, geo-political events, and our operating performance. Our ability to generate cash from operations is influenced primarily by our operating performance and changes in working capital.

At ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020, our liquidity and capital resources included cash of ~~$37.0~~$107.7 million and working capital of ~~$672.8~~$679.9 million.

We maintain a Revolving Credit Facility with various financial institutions, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the ~~lenders. On September 25, 2019, we entered into~~lenders, which provides the Company an ~~amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility which extended the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to September 25, 2024, increased the~~aggregate revolving credit commitment toof $600

million and ~~modified certain other provisions.~~matures September 25, 2024. Under certain circumstances, we have the ability to request, but our lenders are not required to grant, an increase to the revolving credit commitment by an aggregate amount of up to $300 ~~million.~~million, not to exceed $900 million in total.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the offered Eurodollar Rate plus 87.5 to 175 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Eurodollar Rate loan, or at the offered fluctuating Base Rate plus 0 to 75 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Base Rate loan.

Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020 were ~~$185.0~~$224.5 million and there were approximately ~~$20.3~~$20.6 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduced the availability of this facility to ~~$394.7~~$354.9 million. There are no other terms or covenants limiting the availability of this facility. ~~Subsequent to~~

In the ~~end~~fourth quarter of ~~the quarter,~~fiscal 2020, we elected to draw down ~~on the~~our Revolving Credit Facility ~~in an amount equal to $165 million with the majority of that draw remaining in our cash accounts. We elected to borrow such amounts~~ as a precautionary measure in light of economic and market uncertainty presented by COVID-19. We have elected to repay these additional funds in early fiscal 2021 and return to our normal level of cash on hand.

Table of Contents

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we received $57.2 million from the U.S. Treasury Department through the Payroll Support Program under the CARES Act. This funding included a $48.5 million cash grant which is to be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of employee wages, salaries and benefits for employees of certain MRO facilities and a low interest 10-year senior unsecured promissory note of $8.7 million.

As of ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020, we also had other financing arrangements that did not limit our availability on the Revolving Credit Facility, including outstanding letters of credit of $11.6 million and foreign lines of credit of ~~$9.5~~$10.0 million.

We maintain a Purchase Agreement with Citibank N.A. (“Purchaser”) for the sale, from time to time, of certain accounts receivable due from certain customers (the “Purchase Agreement”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the maximum amount of receivables sold is limited to $150 million and Purchaser may, but is not required to, purchase the eligible receivables we offer to sell. The term of the Purchase Agreement runs through February 22, 2021, however, the Purchase Agreement may also be terminated earlier under certain circumstances. The term of the Purchase Agreement shall be automatically extended for annual terms unless either party provides advance notice that they do not intend to extend the term.

We have no retained interests in the sold receivables, other than limited recourse obligations in certain circumstances, and only perform collection and administrative functions for the Purchaser. We account for these receivable transfers as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and de-recognize the sold receivables from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During the three-month periods ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, we sold $129.0 million and $199.0 million, respectively, of receivables under the Purchase Agreement and remitted $147.6 million and $199.0 million, respectively, to the Purchaser on their behalf. As of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, we had collected cash of $6.4 million and $19.8 million, respectively, which was not yet remitted to the Purchaser as of those dates and was classified as Restricted cash on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020, we complied with all financial and other covenants under our financing arrangements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities–continuing operations was ~~$0.5~~$39.8 million in the ~~nine-month~~three-month period ended ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020 compared to a use of cash ~~provided~~ of ~~$16.4~~$30.1 million in the prior year period. The increase from the prior period of $69.9 million was primarily attributable to a reduction in inventory levels and the proceeds of a $48.5 million grant from the Payroll Support Program of the CARES Act. These items were partially offset by a $25 million license fee paid to Unison Industries for our expanded and extended exclusive distribution agreement.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities–continuing operations was $1.7 million during the three-month period ended August 31, 2020 compared to $3.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease from the prior period ~~of $16.9 million was primarily attributable to working capital changes, including customer invoice collection timing.~~

~~Cash Flows from Investing Activities~~

Net cash used in investing activities–continuing operations was $20.0 million during the nine-month period ended February 29, 2020 compared to $13.3 million in the prior year period. The increase from the prior period was primarily related to ~~higher expenditures for property and equipment in~~net proceeds of $1.6 million from the ~~current year period.~~sale of our Composites business.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash ~~provided from~~used in financing activities–continuing operations was ~~$52.6~~$347.9 million during the ~~nine-month~~three-month period ended ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020 compared to cash ~~used~~provided from financing activities-continuing operations of ~~$0.4~~$52.8 million in the prior year period. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily related to the repayment of our additional ~~borrowings in fiscal 2020~~draw down on our Revolving Credit Facility. These funds were was originally drawn in late fiscal 2020 as a precautionary measure in light of the economic and market uncertainty presented by COVID-19.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

We make a number of significant estimates, assumptions and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of

our critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes to the application of our critical accounting policies during the ~~third~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2020.~~2021.

~~Table of Contents~~

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions and estimates based on information available to us as of the dates such assumptions and estimates are made, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated, depending on a variety of factors, including those factors set forth under Part ~~II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under Part~~ I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Should one or more of those risks or uncertainties materialize adversely, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described. Those events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond our control. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk includes fluctuating interest rates under our credit agreements, changes in foreign exchange rates, and credit losses on accounts receivable. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, ~~2019~~2020 for a discussion of accounts receivable exposure.

Foreign Currency Risk. Revenues and expenses of our foreign operations are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and balance sheet accounts are translated at period-end exchange rates. Balance sheet translation adjustments are excluded from the results of operations and are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. A hypothetical 10 percent devaluation of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies would not have had a material impact on our financial position or continuing operations for the quarter ended ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020.

Interest Rate Risk. Refer to the section Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, ~~2019.~~2020. There were no significant changes during the quarter ended ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Therefore, effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures ~~were not~~are effective as of ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020, ~~due~~ensuring that information required to ~~the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were~~be disclosed in ~~our Annual Report on Form 10-K for~~ the ~~year ended May 31, 2019.~~reports that are filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner.

~~Remediation~~

We have executed against the remediation plan previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019 related to the material weakness related to our controls over inventory cycle counts. We have designed and implemented controls to ensure that all inventory stocking locations are counted within a reasonable timeframe. This remediation plan included our completion of physical counts in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 of all inventory stocking locations not previously counted in fiscal 2019. No material inventory adjustmentsThere were ~~identified from these counts.~~

We continue to implement measures designed to remediate the internal control deficiencies related to information technology general controls and controls over changes to vendor data master files. These actions include additional training and expanded controls over end-user and privileged access to IT applications and files. We anticipate completing our remediation of the internal control deficiencies by the end of fiscal 2020.

~~Table of Contents~~

The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

~~Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting~~

Effective June 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, which amended the existing accounting standards for lease accounting. We have implemented certain changes to our internal controls over financial reporting to support the reporting and disclosure requirements of the new lease standard. Other than changes related to our remediation efforts and the new accounting processes, systems, and controls for lease accounting, there were no ~~other~~ changes in our internal control over financial reporting during ~~fiscal~~the quarter ended August 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

~~Our~~The information in Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ~~for the quarter ended February 29, 2020~~ contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information on legal proceedings in Note 15 that constitute material contingencies for financial reporting purposes that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or liquidity if they were resolved in a manner that is ~~adverse to us. This item should be read in conjunction with Note 15 for information regarding the following material legal proceedings~~

incorporated herein by reference. There are no matters which constitute material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party other than those incorporated into this item by reference from Note 1517 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended ~~February 29,~~August 31, 2020 contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A — Risk Factors

There is no material change in the information reported under ~~"Part~~Part I-Item ~~1A-Risk~~1A “Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, ~~2019 with the exception of the following:~~

~~The coronavirus pandemic could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and liquidity.~~

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Several countries, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict air travel, and many companies have adopted policies prohibiting non-essential business travel by their employees. Even in the absence of formal restrictions and prohibitions, contagious illness and fear of contagion could adversely affect travel demand or travel behavior. Moreover, if the COVID-19 pandemic results in decreased worldwide commercial activity, it could also adversely affect the demand for airline cargo services. Reduced numbers of aircraft flying or flight hours negatively impacts the demand for our services, and any prolonged reduction could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, and liquidity.

In addition, we source parts and components for our business from various suppliers around the world. Disruptions to our supply chain and business operations, or to our suppliers’ or customers’ supply chains and business operations, could have adverse ripple effects on our ability to provide aftermarket support and services. Moreover, a prolonged epidemic or pandemic, or the threat thereof, could result in worker absences, lower productivity, voluntary closure of our offices and facilities, travel restrictions for our employees and other disruptions to our business. Any of these could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
