SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - StandardAero, Inc. (NYSE: SARO), a $10 billion market cap provider of aerospace engine aftermarket services with annual revenues exceeding $5.4 billion, has announced that two of its stockholders, affiliates of The Carlyle Group Inc. and GIC, plan to sell 30 million shares of common stock in a secondary offering. The company’s stock has shown strong momentum, delivering a 21% return year-to-date. The sale is to be conducted under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The company has stated that all net proceeds from the offering will go to the selling stockholders, and no new shares are being offered by StandardAero itself. The selling stockholders are also expected to grant underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 4.5 million shares. According to InvestingPro data, StandardAero maintains a healthy financial position with a strong current ratio of 2.0 and operates with a moderate level of debt.

The joint lead book-running managers for the offering include J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, RBC Capital Markets, BofA Securities, UBS Investment Bank, and Jefferies, with Carlyle acting as co-manager.

The offering will be made through a prospectus supplement and an accompanying prospectus. Interested parties can obtain these documents from J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. The registration statement has been filed publicly but is not yet effective, and as such, the securities may not be sold nor offers to buy accepted until it becomes effective.

The completion of the offering is subject to market conditions, and there is no assurance as to the timing or size of the offering.
