Successful Acquisition of FLYHT

Strong Aerospace Business Performance
Aerospace segment sales were up $5.2 million or 53% from Q1 last year, boosted by the acquisition of FLYHT and recovery from the previous year's strike at the Aerospace-Toronto facility.
Expansion into New Markets
FTG announced plans to open an aerospace facility in Hyderabad, India, to support strategic growth and expand market presence. This initiative will help mitigate potential tariff impacts and tap into India's growing aerospace market.
Improved Gross Margin
FTG achieved a gross margin of $13.3 million or 31% in Q1 2025 compared to $8.9 million or 25.5% in Q1 2024, driven by organic sales growth, improved operating performance, and favorable foreign exchange rates.
