o Total Number of Employees

At the end of the reporting period, the total number of employees was 1.879.

The purpose of this report is to inform investors regarding the changes in the company's position and performance that occurred during the reporting period January–September 2025, as well as to provide insight into foreseeable developments in the aerospace and defence industry and into the company's development opportunities.

During the period January–September 2025, the aerospace industry continued to be affected by economic volatility, geopolitical pressures, and operational constraints, despite a growing global demand for air transport and military equipment. The pace of recovery remains uneven, and companies within the sector are required to adapt swiftly to new market realities.

In this context, Aerostar S.A. has maintained its strategic focus on strengthening its position in the global market and on pursuing sustainable growth.

o Evolution of the Market and Trends in the Aerospace Sector

Market Evolution - Persistent Gaps

The major aircraft manufacturers – Airbus and Boeing – have reported that delivery rates remained below projected levels, despite rising global demand. According to official data, Airbus continued to produce in line with its plans; however, deliveries were backloaded – concentrated toward the end of the scheduled period – due to ongoing engine supply issues for the A320 program.

Boeing also reported difficulties in its supply chain and production capacity, particularly for the 787 and 777 models.

These delays have put additional pressure on airline operators, who rely on modernized fleets for operational efficiency and compliance with environmental regulations. Moreover, maintenance and aviation component suppliers have been affected by rescheduled delivery timelines and the lack of predictability in supply flows.

Supply Chain Disruptions

Supply chains in the aerospace industry remain under strain, with difficulties in the delivery of critical components – especially engines, electronic systems, composite materials, and industrial materials (aluminium, titanium, and bronze) – whose prices have fluctuated significantly due to global demand and high energy costs. Instability in international transport has also contributed to delays in deliveries to integrators and subcontractors.

In this context, aerospace companies have been compelled to revise contractual schedules, adopt preventive stock management strategies, and invest in diversifying supply sources to reduce dependence on vulnerable global supply chains.

Additionally, a shortage of skilled personnel in maintenance and production continues to constrain the companies' capacity to respond effectively.

Green Transition – Challenges and Constraints

The adoption of sustainable technologies in aviation remains a strategic priority, yet implementation continues to be hindered by the high costs of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and insufficient infrastructure.

European regulations set ambitious emission reduction targets, compelling companies in the industry to accelerate investments in environmentally friendly solutions and operational efficiency.

International Demand Volatility

International demand has been affected by regional conflicts, geopolitical instability, and shifts in consumer behaviour, particularly in the Black Sea region and the Middle East. The closure of certain airspaces and the reconfiguration of commercial routes have led to additional costs and planning uncertainties.

Emerging markets play an increasingly important role; nevertheless, demand volatility requires flexible planning and investments in additional production capacities.

Human Resources – Challenges in Recruitment and Retention

Demand for certified technicians and specialised engineers has increased, while the slow pace of vocational and professional training continues to create difficulties in meeting workforce needs.

Companies are compelled to adopt proactive retention policies and establish educational partnerships to ensure business continuity.

Conversion of Civil Aviation Companies to the Military Segment

Amid the apparent increase in defence budgets and NATO interoperability requirements, an increasing number of aerospace companies are diversifying their activities into the military segment.

This strategic reorientation has intensified competition within the defence sector, leading to greater competitive pressure in tenders and strategic partnerships, as well as to the need for strengthened production capabilities and military certifications in order to remain relevant within the supply chains of major integrators.

Geopolitical and Economic Context

During the reporting period, international instability persisted, with regional conflicts and reconfigured trade routes generating planning uncertainties.

Despite inflationary pressures, Aerostar S.A. demonstrated adaptability, maintaining positive turnover growth and consolidating its position in foreign markets.

Climate Change

Climate change did not have any direct impact on the company's assets during the reporting period. Aerostar continues to monitor environmental risks and opportunities associated with its operations.

Internal Environment and Workforce

The shortage of skilled personnel remains a major challenge in the aerospace industry. High competency and experience requirements, combined with workforce migration to better-paying markets, increase pressure on recruitment and retention.

AEROSTAR continues to invest in professional training for organizational development and talent acquisition. Collaborative initiatives with educational institutions and programs for integrating young professionals contribute to strengthening human capital and maintaining competitiveness.

AEROSTAR OPERATES IN THE GLOBAL AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MARKET AS AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY.

TODAY, WE ARE A NATIONAL MARKET LEADER AND AN INTEGRATED SUPPLIER IN THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS OF MAJOR COMPANIES IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY.

Financial Statement – Summary – 9 months 2025

AEROSTAR prepares its company financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

o Financial Performance

o Financial Position

During the analysed period, the company's sales reached 438 thousand lei (88 million euro), up 4,6% compared to the same period last year. The positive growth was driven by a 13,85% increase in sales of manufactured products.

Sales of commercial aircraft maintenance services remained roughly at the same level as last year, while sales of defence systems services declined by 5,4%, contrary to statements issued by European policymakers.

o Financial Performance and Position

Although the company's sales increased by 4,6%, operating revenues remained approximately at the same level as in 2024.

A stronger growth in operating revenues is expected in the fourth quarter of this year. Operating expenses decreased by approximately 4%, resulting in an operating profit of 73,913 thousand lei, up 33,6% compared to the same period last year.

It is noteworthy that, although material expenses and employee benefits increased by 1% and 5% respectively, these increases were fully offset by a corresponding decrease in external service expenses. The increase in operating profit is almost entirely attributable to net gains from provisions and adjustments on current assets.

Financial activities generated a profit of 8,5 million lei, down by approximately 30% compared to last year, primarily due to the impact of the dollar depreciation and lower interest rates.

The net result for the period (profit) was 70,8 million lei, an increase of 20% compared to 2024.

Comparative analysis indicates a positive trend in key financial indicators compared to the same period last year.

The increase in turnover, financial profitability, and in the returns on resources EBITDA, EBIT, and net profit, as well as the improvement in liquidity and solvency, reflect a consolidated financial performance. Total asset and liability turnover ratios remained relatively stable, suggesting stable capital management.

Thus, the company's financial position has strengthened compared to the previous year, remaining solid with growing equity, meeting the expectations of over 6500 shareholders. At the end of the reporting period, the Price-to-Earnings ratio stood at 15,11.

Total revenues for the period amounted to 469,4 million lei, while total expenses were 386,9 million lei, resulting in a net profit margin of 15%, compared to 12, 6% in the previous year.

o Comparative Sales Evolution by Business Lines (K lei)

o Comparative Sales Evolution by Markets (K lei)

For the analysed period, sales evolved differently across the three business lines, as follows:

o Aeronautical Products Manufacturing Business Line

In the analysed period, sales increased by approximately 14%, supported by growing demand for aeronautical products, the adoption of new production programs, and maintaining an efficient operational flow by adhering to delivery deadlines and quality requirements.

o Civil Aircraft Maintenance Business Line

Activity in this business line remained stable, supported by a dynamic operational pace in the maintenance centres, as well as the strengthening commercial relationships with existing partners and attracting new customers.

o Defence Systems Business Line

Activity in this business line recorded a decrease of 5,4%, influenced by the completion of projects that were ongoing in the previous period. At the same time, ongoing programs, such as maintenance for F-16 aircraft or Black Hawk helicopters, are at an early stage, with a low frequency of work, which contributed to the reduction of operational volume.

3. Aerostar's Presence in the Domestic Market, Foreign Markets, and Sustainable Development

In the first nine months of 2025, Aerostar S.A. consolidated its position in foreign markets, with export sales accounting for 87% of total turnover, an increase compared to the same period last year, supported by an expanded customer portfolio and a high level of competitiveness ensured through compliance with technical and quality standards.

In the first nine months of 2025, monitoring of emissions into water, air, and noise was conducted. Reports requested by APM Bacău were submitted through the Integrated Environmental System, along with the Annual Environmental Report for activities in Bacău and for those at the MRO Centre in Iași. During this period, three inspections were carried out by the Environmental Guard, resulting in two general measures with permanent applicability.

In June 2025, a surveillance audit of the environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001:2015 was performed by the DQS team. The audit concluded with no non-conformities. Recommendations for improvement were reviewed, and the actions planned for their implementation were approved and communicated.

Employee training to raise awareness of compliance with environmental requirements remains a continuous priority within the company.

All waste generated from the company's activities is stored selectively in appropriate containers and subsequently handed over to authorized operators for collection, recovery, or disposal.

During the reporting period, the amount of waste generated was 32,15% lower than in the same period of 2024, and hazardous waste was 51,45% lower. Additionally, recoverable waste accounted for approximately 77% of the total waste generated.

We are certified in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001, the ISO 14001 environmental management standard, and the ISO 45001 standard for occupational health and safety.

During the reporting period, AEROSTAR maintained all its certifications and authorizations, demonstrating ongoing compliance with applicable international standards in the aerospace sector. These certifications reflect the company's commitment to quality, safety, environmental protection, and information security.

Additionally, during the reporting period, AEROSTAR obtained certification according to the SR EN ISO/IEC 27001:2023 standard, attesting to the implementation of the Information Security Management System (SMSI).

o Risk Management

AEROSTAR operates in a complex, regulated, and competitive environment specific to the aerospace and defence industry. Risk management is integrated into both decision-making and operational processes, in accordance with international standards.

Compliance also represents a strong commitment by the company to adhere to applicable legislation, international regulations, and the highest standards of business ethics and integrity. AEROSTAR continuously monitors changes in legislation and regulatory frameworks, ensuring the adaptation of internal processes and the proper training of personnel.

AEROSTAR aims to ensure the sustainable continuity of its operations over the medium and long term and to reduce the uncertainty associated with its strategic and financial objectives.

The risk management processes carried out ensure the identification, analysis, evaluation, and management of risks in order to minimize their effects to an agreed level.

The company is exposed to a wide range of risks and uncertainties that may affect its financial performance. There may be additional risks and uncertainties beyond those presented below, which are currently unknown or considered insignificant, but which could impact AEROSTAR's business lines in the future.

Operational Risk

Operational risk refers to the risk of incurring losses or failing to achieve estimated sales and profits, arising from:

  • the use of inadequate processes, systems, or human resources, or their failure to properly perform their functions;
  • external events and actions, such as the deterioration of global economic conditions, natural disasters, or other occurrences that may affect AEROSTAR's assets.

Amid ongoing global political unrest, the potential for new categories of risk is increasing. AEROSTAR is proactively observing critical conflict regions to assess any developments that could impact its operations or assets.

Legal Risk is also considered a component of Operational Risk, defined as the risk of loss resulting both from fines, penalties, and sanctions that AEROSTAR may incur due to non-compliance or improper application of legal or contractual provisions, as well as from improperly defined contractual rights and obligations of AEROSTAR and/or its business partners.

Monitoring and eliminating the effects of legal risk is carried out through a continuous system of information regarding legislative changes, as well as through the organization of a system for analysing, reviewing, and approving the terms and conditions included in commercial contracts.

AEROSTAR allocates and will continue to allocate funds for investments and other operational expenses aimed at preventing and managing operational risk.

In addition, AEROSTAR seeks to maintain internal funding to cover its exposure to risks by establishing provisions for such risks and related expenses.

Furthermore, in order to mitigate operational risk, AEROSTAR annually renews, with top-tier insurance and reinsurance companies, a civil liability insurance policy covering its main lines of business (aerospace product manufacturing and commercial aircraft maintenance).

Credit Risk refers to the risk that AEROSTAR may incur a financial loss due to a business partner's failure to meet contractual obligations, and is mainly determined by sight and term deposits held with banks and trade receivables.

Deposits are placed only with top-tier banking institutions (top 5 by asset size), which are considered to have high solvency.

Credit risk, including the country risk associated with the client's operating location, is managed on a perpartner basis. When considered necessary, specific instruments are requested to mitigate credit risk (such as advance payments, bank payment guarantees, or confirmed export letters of credit).

AEROSTAR does not have significant exposure to any single business partner and does not record a significant concentration of revenue in any single geographic region.

However, there is some exposure to the global Airbus program market, as a large proportion of the company's products are integrated into Airbus aircraft.

A detailed presentation of the quantitative information regarding AEROSTAR's exposure to credit risk can be found in Note 18 (Financial Instruments) of the Financial Statements.

Liquidity Risk refers to the risk that AEROSTAR may encounter difficulties in meeting its debt obligations as they become due.

To manage liquidity risk, cash flows are monitored and analysed on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis to assess the estimated level of net liquidity changes. This analysis forms the basis for financing decisions and capital commitments.

To mitigate liquidity risk, AEROSTAR maintains an annual liquidity reserve in the form of a Credit Line structured as an overdraft facility granted by banks, amounting to USD 2.500 thousand.

During the reporting period, AEROSTAR did not utilize this Credit Line, as all operations were financed from internal resources.

Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices.

Market risk includes price risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk.

AEROSTAR is primarily exposed to price risk, driven by fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and supplies used in the production processes, caused by exceptional events, the imposition of international sanctions that limit the ability to secure parts and materials, or increased costs related to specific import/export tariffs for metal products to and from the United States.

This risk is managed through:

  • diversification of the supplier portfolio, which provides greater negotiation leverage in the event of price increases from certain suppliers.
  • signing long-term contracts that include fixed-price clauses.

AEROSTAR is exposed to foreign exchange risk, as 87% of its revenue is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant portion of its operating expenses is in LEI. Consequently, the company is exposed to the risk that exchange rate fluctuations may impact both its net income and financial position as reported in LEI.

AEROSTAR has opted not to engage in foreign exchange hedging instruments (such as options or forward contracts), due to their relatively high upfront costs and the potential opportunity loss in the event of a RON depreciation against major currencies (USD, EUR).

A detailed analysis of AEROSTAR's sensitivity to foreign exchange rate fluctuations is provided in Note 18 (Financial Instruments) of the Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 - ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS

2.1. Estimates

The preparation and presentation of the company financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies as well as the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses.

Estimates and judgments are made based on historical experience, as well as factors deemed appropriate and reasonable. Accounting estimates and judgments are continuously updated and take into account reasonable expectations regarding probable future events. The reported carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that cannot be determined or obtained from other sources are based on these estimates, which are considered appropriate by the company's management.

Estimates, as well as the judgments and assumptions underlying them, are reviewed periodically, and the results of these reviews are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised.

Any changes in accounting estimates are recognized prospectively by including them in the results of:

  • the period in which the change occurs, if it affects only that period; or
  • the period in which the change occurs and future periods, if the change also affects them.

The company uses estimates to determine:

  • uncertain customers and impairment allowances for trade receivables;
  • the value of the provisions for risks and expenses to be recognized at the end of the period (month, quarter, year) for litigation, decommissioning of property, plant and equipment, warranties granted to customers, employee obligations, and other obligations;
  • the impairment adjustments for property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets. At the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there are indications of impairment. If such indications exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the amount of impairment (if any);
  • the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets. The company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets at least at the end of each financial year to determine their appropriateness;
  • inventories of raw materials and supplies that require creation of impairment adjustments;
  • deferred taxes.

Presentation of Information

To the extent possible, the company discloses the nature and amount of a change in an accounting estimate that has an impact on the current period and/or future periods.

2.2. Errors

Errors may occur in relation to the recognition, evaluation, presentation, or disclosure of items in the financial statements.

The company retroactively corrects material prior period errors in the first set of financial statements approved for issue after their identification, by:

  • restating the comparative amounts for the prior period in which the error occurred, or
  • if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening balances of assets, liabilities, and equity for the earliest prior period presented.

When an error is identified, the company discloses the following information:

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 2 - ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS (continued)

  • the nature of the prior period error;
  • for each prior period presented, to the extent possible, the amount of the correction:
  • for each affected item-line in the financial statements;
  • for basic and diluted earnings per share.
  • the value of the correction at the beginning of the earliest prior period presented;
  • if retrospective restatement is not possible for a particular prior period, the circumstances that led to the existence of that condition and a description of how and from when the error has been corrected.

2.3. Change in Accounting Policies

A change in accounting policies is permitted only if it is required by IFRS or if it results in financial information that is more relevant or more reliable in relation to the company's operations. The company changes an accounting policy only if the change:

  • is required by an IFRS; or
  • results in financial statements that provide reliable and more relevant information about the effects of transactions, other events, or conditions on the entity's financial position, financial performance, or cash flows.

Application of changes in accounting policies:

  • The entity shall account for a change in accounting policy resulting from the initial application of an IFRS in accordance with the specific transitional provisions, if any, of that IFRS; and
  • When the initial application of an IFRS does not include specific transitional provisions.

Presentation of Information

When the initial application of an IFRS has an effect on the current period or on prior periods, the company discloses in the explanatory notes the following:

  • the title of the IFRS;
  • the nature of the change in accounting policy;
  • when applicable, the fact that the change has been made in accordance with transitional provisions and a description of those provisions;
  • for the current period and each prior period presented, the amount of the adjustment for each affected item in the statement of financial position, to the extent possible.

When it is impossible to determine the specific effects for one or more prior periods presented, the company shall apply the new accounting policy to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for the first period for which retrospective application is possible, which may be the current period.

When a voluntary change in accounting policy has an effect on the current period or any prior period, the company discloses in the explanatory notes the following:

  • the nature of the change in accounting policy;
  • the reasons why applying the new accounting policy provides reliable and more relevant information;
  • for the current period and each prior period presented, the estimated amount of the adjustment for each affected item in the statement of financial position, to the extent possible.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES

3.1. Basis for the preparation and presentation of financial statements

The company financial statements of AEROSTAR S.A. have been prepared in accordance with the following provisions:

  • The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union;
  • The Accounting Law no. 82/1991, republished, as subsequently amended and supplemented;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 881/2012 on the application by companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market of the International Financial Reporting Standards;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 2.844/2016 approving the Accounting Regulations compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards, as subsequently amended and supplemented;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 2.861/2009 approving the Rules on the organization and performance of the inventory of assets, liabilities and equity items;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 1.826/2003 approving the Explanatory Notes regarding certain measures on the organization and conduct of management accounting;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 2.634/2015 on financial and accounting documents, as subsequently amended and supplemented;
  • Law no. 24/2017, republished, on issuers of financial instruments and market operations.

The accounting records are maintained in the Romanian language and in the national currency.

The accounting records of transactions carried out in foreign currencies are maintained both in the national currency and in the respective foreign currency.

The financial year is the calendar year.

The financial statements are prepared and presented in thousands of Romanian lei, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand lei. Due to rounding, figures presented may not always precisely sum to the totals provided, and percentages may not accurately reflect absolute figures.

The financial statements are prepared based on historical cost.

The financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The company has chosen to present the statement of financial position by nature and liquidity, and the statement of profit or loss by nature of income and expenses, considering that these presentation methods provide information that is relevant to the company's situation.

3.2. Applied Accounting Policies

AEROSTAR S.A. discloses the accounting policies applied in the notes to the company financial statements and avoids repeating the text of the standards, except where such repetition is considered relevant for understanding the content of the note. Compared to the disclosures at the end of the 2024 financial year, there are no changes in the accounting principles, methods, policies, or procedures applied.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 4 - FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

AEROSTAR considers the Romanian leu as its functional currency, and the financial statements are presented in thousands of lei.

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate of the functional currency on the transaction date.

At the Statement of Financial Position date, financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are evaluated in the functional currency using the market exchange rate published by the National Bank of Romania, valid at the end of the reporting period:

Average rate
Currency 30.09.2025 9 months 2025 31.12.2024
1 EUR 5,0811 lei 5,0259 lei 4,9741 lei
1 USD 4,3247 lei 4,5029 lei 4,7768 lei
1 GBP 5,8159 lei 5,9101 lei 5,9951 lei

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the settlement of financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss for the financial year in which they occur.

Given that 87% of the turnover recorded during the reporting period is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant portion of operating expenses is denominated in RON, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will affect both the Company's net revenues and its financial position as expressed in the functional currency.

During the reporting period, the net foreign exchange exposure, resulting from the difference between the inflows from financial assets and the outflows for financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, is presented as follows:

January - September 2025 K EUR K USD K GBP
Inflows from Financial Assets 22.129 57.603 -
Outflows of Financial Liabilities (10.372) (25.255) (255)
Net Foreign Exchange Exposure 11.757 32.348 (255)

AEROSTAR has decided not to use foreign currency hedging instruments (options, forwards) due to the relatively high initial costs and the potential loss of opportunities in the event of a depreciation of the Romanian Leu (RON) against the main currencies (USD, EUR).

The revaluation of financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as of 30.09.2025 resulted in the recognition of a financial loss from negative foreign exchange differences amounting to 5.280 thousand lei.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 6 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

Property, plant and equipment are measured at acquisition or production cost, minus accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The depreciation method applied to property, plant and equipment is the straight-line method.

Depreciation expenses are recognized in the profit or loss account.

The following useful lives are assumed for property, plant and equipment:

- constructions 30-50 years
- technological equipment 2-25 years
- vehicles 4-18 years
- other property, plant and equipment 2-18 years
- investment property 25-50 years

Useful lives are determined by committees consisting of the company's specialists. Fiscal depreciation periods of the property, plant and equipment are regulated by applicable tax legislation.

The company has not acquired assets through business combinations and has not classified any assets as held for sale.

Investment property comprises 13 real estate assets – buildings leased to third parties under lease agreements.

The value of rental income for this category of assets amounted to 2.432 thousand lei.

At the date of transition to IFRS, the company estimated and included in the cost of property, plant and equipment the estimated decommissioning costs at the end of their useful lives.

These costs are reflected through the recognition of a provision, which is recognized in profit or loss over the life of the related assets, by inclusion in depreciation expense. This expense is not deductible for tax purposes.

Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and ceases when the asset is reclassified to another category or derecognized.

Depreciation does not cease when the asset is not in use.

Land and buildings are separable assets and are accounted for separately, even when acquired together.

Land has an indefinite useful life and, therefore, is not depreciated.

The value of land in Aerostar S.A.'s assets is presented at acquisition cost, or at the assumed cost recorded at the date of transition to IFRS.

In accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets", the company has identified indicators of impairment of property, plant and equipment, considering both internal and external sources of information.

Internal sources of information:

The economic performance of assets is good, and all assets in use provide benefits to the company.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei) NOTE 6 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

External Source of Information:

The indicator that provides information on investor interest in companies listed on the capital market is the market capitalization-to-equity ratio (MBR).

indicator MBR-Market to book ratio 30.09.2025
market capitalization/ equity 2,15

A value of the MBR ratio above one is achieved by performing companies on the capital market that attract investor interest.

Property, plant and equipment held in the balance sheet as at 30.09.2025 are not impaired, and no significant indicators of impairment have been identified.

The gross accounting value of fully depreciated property, plant and equipment still in use as at 30 Septembrie 2025 is 105.982 thousand lei.

As at 30.09.2025, no mortgages have been established on the real estate assets owned by Aerostar S.A.

Inflows of Property, Plant and Equipment: 17.866 K lei

  • commissioning of technological equipment, hardware, and measurement & control equipment 7.730 k lei
  • modernization works on constructions 1.224 k lei

property, plant and equipment under construction completed during the period

8.902 k lei

reclassification of a building to investment property

10 k lei

Outflows of Property, Plant and Equipment: 9.281 k lei

transfer of assets under construction to property, plant and equipment upon commissioning 8.953 k lei

328 k lei

derecognition of certain property, plant and equipment (constructions and technological equipment) as the company no longer expects future economic benefits from their use.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

Aerostar accounts for its shareholdings at fair value through other comprehensive income, in accordance with IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".

Gains or losses on these equity instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for dividend income.

  • 100% of overdue receivables if the delay exceeds 180 days. As at 30 September 2025, the company recorded impairment adjustments of this nature amounting to 87 thousand lei.

When determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, changes in the customer's creditworthiness from the date the credit was granted until the reporting date were taken into account.

Outstanding supplier balances as at 30 September 2025, amounting to 3.991 thousand lei, are due for settlement in 2025.

Receivables denominated in foreign currency were evaluated at the market exchange rate provided by the National Bank of Romania for the closing of September 2025.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from differences between the market exchange rate at which foreign currency receivables are recorded and the market exchange rate provided by the National Bank of Romania for the closing of September 2025 were recorded in the corresponding income or expense accounts

Adjustments for impairment of production in progress 2.957 4.579 6.499 4.877

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price of inventories, less all estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The cost of inventories includes acquisition costs, conversion costs, and other costs incurred to bring the inventories to their present condition and location.

Impairment adjustments are made periodically, based on the findings of the inventory committees and/or the module managers, in order to present inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Within the company, goods are considered impaired if their storage period exceeds the time limits set by an internal decision of the Board of Directors.

According to the Accounting Policies Manual, at Aerostar SA, impairment adjustments for inventories are established as follows:

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 10 – INVENTORIES (continued)

  • For raw material, consumable materials, semi-finished goods and spare parts, different storage periods are established for each profit centre;
  • For inventories of finished goods and work in progress, impairment adjustments are recognized at each reporting period, as follows:
  • a) 100% of their value for inventories of this type that are not covered by customer contracts;
  • b) variable percentages, agreed with the relevant profit centres, for inventories of finished goods not delivered within contractual deadlines.

The value of material expenses recognized as an expense during the period amounts to 180.909 thousand lei, consisting of:

  • 170.914 thousand lei representing expenses related to inventory materials;
  • 9.179 thousand lei representing expenses related to water, gas, and electricity consumption;
  • 816 thousand lei representing expenses related to non-inventoried materials.

Aerostar S.A. holds inventories of finished goods (safety stock) at the levels agreed upon in contracts with customers.

Aerostar S.A. does not have pledged inventories.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 11 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash includes:

  • cash on hand (cash held at Aerostar's cashier);
  • demand deposits held with banks (current bank accounts).

Cash equivalents include:

  • term deposits held with banks;
  • cheques deposited with banks for collection.

At the end of the reporting period, cash and cash equivalents consisted of:

30.09.2025 31.12.2024 30.09.2024
Cash in the cashier 28 30 41
Demand deposits held with banks 27.037 31.170 66.128

Cash and cash equivalents 300.835 260.403 259.289

There are no restrictions on current bank accounts or deposits held with banks.

The value of the credit line available in the form of an overdraft facility, available for future operating activity, is USD 2.500 thousand (equivalent to 10.812 thousand lei). The Credit Line was not used during the reporting period.

AEROSTAR's policy is to deposit cash corresponding to the amount of provisions recognised. The balance of provisions as at 30.09.2025 is 67.067 thousand lei.

Term deposits are made for short maturities (up to 6 months), as AEROSTAR prefers to maintain easy access to liquidity. Consequently, alternative options for saving surplus cash, such as investments in mutual funds, are not pursued due to the investment risks involved. Such placements may experience significant short-term fluctuations driven by various conjunctural factors.

AEROSTAR's choice to rely exclusively on short-term bank deposits is primarily influenced by global political and economic uncertainties, as well as the deterioration of supply chains. Unexpected events may arise at any moment, requiring the prompt purchase of raw materials and other inputs to secure safety stocks.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 12 – COMPANY'S EQUITY

The company's equity as at 30 September 2025 is 665.716 thousand lei. The company's equity increased by 45.383 thousand lei in 2025 compared to the end of 2024.

The Company has no outstanding liabilities to the state budget, the social security budget, or the local budgets.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 17 - DEFERRED INCOME TAX

The deferred tax is determined based on temporary differences occurring between the tax base of the assets and liabilities and their accounting base. The deferred tax is calculated at a tax rate of 16% applicable to the temporary differences.

The Company has estimated and registered deferred tax liabilities related to fixed assets (arising from differences between accounting and tax values, differing useful lives, etc.) and provisions, and has recognized deferred tax assets related to investment securities (shares), inventories, and trade receivables that have been subject to impairment adjustments, warranties provisions granted to customers, and other provisions.

Structure of the deferred tax registered as at 30.09.2025:

Deferred tax liabilities
1. Deferred tax liabilities generated from differences between higher accounting bases
(higher) and the fiscal ones (lower) of non-current assets 715
2. Deferred tax liabilities related to legal reserves 1.559
3. Deferred tax liabilities related to reserves from fiscal facilities 26.247
4. Deferred tax liabilities related to retained earnings representing realised surplus from
revaluation reserves 61
5.
Deferred tax liabilities related to non-current equity investments (shares)
3.423
Total deferred tax liabilities 32.005
Deferred Tax Assets
1. Deferred tax assets related to other provisions 340
2. Deferred tax assets related to provisions for warranties granted to customers 4.079
3. Deferred tax assets related to provisions for employee benefits 72
4. Deferred tax assets related to inventory impairment adjustments 13.127
5. Deferred tax assets related to impairment adjustments of trade receivables 537
Total Deferred Tax Assets 18.155
Balance – Net Deferred Tax Liabilities 13.850

The Company did not recognize deferred tax assets related to other provisions for industry-specific aviation risks, as there is uncertainty regarding the tax deductibility of expenses that may arise from the settlement of obligations in future periods. Therefore, the differences between the tax base and the accounting base would be considered nil.

During the period 1 January 2025 - 30 September 2025, the Company recognized deferred tax income in the amount of 4.240 thousand lei and deferred tax expense in the amount of 6.110 thousand lei, resulting in a net impact on financial performance of (1.870) thousand lei.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 17 - DEFERRED INCOME TAX (continued)

Deferred income tax recognised in equity, amounting to 30.889 thousand lei, comprises deferred tax liabilities in the amount of 31.229 thousand lei and deferred tax assets of 340 thousand lei.

The deferred tax liabilities consist of:

  • deferred tax liabilities related to legal reserves: 1.559 thousand lei
  • deferred tax liabilities related to tax incentive reserves: 26.247 thousand lei
  • deferred tax liabilities related to equity investments (shares): 3.423 thousand lei;

Deferred tax assets, in the amount of 340 thousand lei, relate to provisions for risks and charges established prior to the date of transition to IFRS.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 18 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A financial instrument is any contract generating simultaneously a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or an equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when AEROSTAR becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

AEROSTAR's financial assets include:

  • sight and term deposits held with banks;
  • trade receivables;
  • Evergent Investments S.A. shares (stock symbol: EVER);
  • non-current receivables (guarantees lodged with third parties)

AEROSTAR's financial liabilities include:

  • trade liabilities;

As at the reporting date, AEROSTAR has no financial liabilities related to bank overdrafts or longterm bank loans.

The main types of risks generated by the financial instruments held, to which AEROSTAR is exposed, are:

  • a) credit risk;
  • b) liquidity risk;
  • c) foreign exchange risk;
  • d) interest rate risk;
  • e) market risk.

a) Credit Risk

The credit risk is the risk that one party involved in a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the other party by failing to fulfil a contractual obligation, related mainly to:

  • sight and term deposits held with banks
  • trade receivables;

Sight and term deposits are held exclusively with top-tier banking institutions (top 5 by assets level), with credit ratings that indicate the lowest level of risk.

In certain cases, specific trade credit risk mitigation instruments are required (advance payments, bank payment guarantees, and confirmed export letters of credit).

AEROSTAR has no significant exposure to any single partner and does not record a significant concentration of receivables in any single geographical area.

Credit Risk Exposure

The accounting value of the financial assets, net of impairment adjustments, represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

The maximum credit risk exposure as at the reporting date is presented in the table below:

Balance as at 30 September 2.778 647

As at 30.09.2025, 94% of the balance of trade receivables as related to customers with a good payment history.

b) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that AEROSTAR may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash.

AEROSTAR's policy regarding liquidity risk is to maintain an optimal level of liquidity in order to meet its obligations as they fall due.

To assess liquidity risk, the treasury cash flows from operating, investments and financing activities are monitored and analysed on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis to determine the estimated level of net liquidity modifications.

Additionally, specific liquidity indicators (current ratio, quick ratio, and overall solvency ratio) are analysed monthly and compared to budgeted levels.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 18 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Additionally, to reduce liquidity risk, AEROSTAR maintains an annual liquidity buffer through a Credit Facility (available as an overdraft) granted by banks up to a limit of USD 2.500 thousand.

The time intervals used for the analysis of the contractual due dates of financial liabilities, in order to present the timing of cash flows, are shown in the table below:

The cash flows included the analysis of the due dates are not expected to take place earlier or at significantly different amounts.

As at 30.09.2025, AEROSTAR did not record any overdue liabilities.

c) Foreign Currency Risk

The foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Exposure to Foreign Currency Risk

AEROSTAR is exposed to foreign currency risk as 87% of the turnover recorded during the reporting period is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant portion of its operating expenses is denominated in lei.

As a result, AEROSTAR is exposed to the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates may affect both its net income and financial position as expressed in lei.

However, AEROSTAR has decided not to access foreign currency hedging instruments (options or forward contracts), due to the relatively high initial costs and the potential loss of opportunities in the event of a depreciation of the RON against major currencies (USD, EUR).

The net exposure to foreign currency risk of financial assets and liabilities is presented below, based on the carrying amounts denominated in foreign currencies recorded at the end of the reporting period:

30.09.2025 k EUR k USD k GBP
Sight and term deposits held with banks 1.812 3.583 53
Trade receivables 3.471 11.813 -
Trade liabilities (1.016) (2.549) (32)
Net exposure, in original currency 4.267 12.847 21

Sensitivity Analysis

Based on the net exposure presented in the table above, AEROSTAR is mainly exposed to foreign currency risk arising from fluctuations in the USD/LEU and EUR/LEU exchange rates.

Taking into account the evolution of the USD/LEU and EUR/LEU exchange rates in recent years, a high volatility of ±10% has been observed for the USD/LEU rate and a low volatility of ±2% for the EUR/LEU rate. Accordingly, a reasonably possible variation of ±10% for USD/LEU and ±2% for EUR/LEU as at the reporting date is considered.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 18 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

The effect of the reasonably possible variation in the EUR/LEU and USD/LEU exchange rates on AEROSTAR's financial result is presented in the following table:

d) Interest Rate Risk

During the reporting period, AEROSTAR had access to a multi-product Credit Facility totalling USD 7.000 thousand, intended to finance operating activities, consisting of:

  • USD 2.500 thousand available as an overdraft,
  • maximum USD 7.000 thousand available for issuing guarantee instruments (bank guarantees and import letters of credit), provided the overdraft facility is not utilized.

Bank interest is charged only on the overdraft.

Since the overdraft facility was not utilized during the reporting period, revenues and cash flows are not affected by fluctuations in market interest rates.

As at 30.09.2025, the level of guarantees granted under commercial contracts through bank guarantees and import letters of credit amounts to 4.396 thousand lei (equivalent to USD 1.016 thousand).

As at 30.09.2025, no mortgages have been established on the real estate assets owned by AEROSTAR.

e) Market risk, is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial asset will fluctuate due to changes in market prices.

The maximum exposure to market risk at the reporting date is presented in the following table:

NOTE 27 - INFORMATION REGARDING THE CASH FLOW

The method used for presenting the Cash Flow Statement is the direct method. The Cash Flow Statement presents cash and cash equivalent movements classified by operating, investing, and financing activities, thus highlighting how AEROSTAR generates and uses cash and cash equivalents.

In the context of preparing the Cash Flow Statement:

  • cash flows represent receipts and payments of cash and cash equivalents;
  • cash includes cash on hand and sight deposits held with banks (i.e., balances in current bank accounts);
  • cash equivalents comprise term deposits held with banks.

Cash flows arising from transactions conducted in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional currency (LEU) by applying the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date the cash flow occurs (i.e., the date of payment or receipt). Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates are not classified as cash flows. However, the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents held in foreign currency is reported separately in the Cash Flow Statement, apart from cash flows arising from operating, investing, and financing activities, to reconcile cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the reporting period.

A summary of cash flows for the period January–September 2025 is presented in the table below:

Cash Flows Value %
Total receipts, of which: 483.684 100%
Receipts from operating activities 460.457 95%
Receipts from investing activities 23.227 5%
Receipts from financing activities - 0%
Total payments, of which: (439.978) 100%
Payments from operating activities (395.076) 90%
Payments from investing activities (9.802) 2%
Payments from financing activities (35.100) 8%
Net increase in cash and cash
equivalents
43.706
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of
the period
300.835

The operating activity is AEROSTAR's main cash-generating activity:

  • cash receipts from customers amounted to 457.128 thousand lei;
  • cash receipts from the State Budget totalled 3.329 thousand lei, of which 2.936 thousand lei represented recoveries of VAT, excise duties, and other social receivables, and 393 thousand lei were operating subsidies;
  • payments to suppliers and employees amounted to 323.409 thousand lei, of which 230.559 thousand lei were payments to suppliers and 92.850 thousand lei were salary payments to employees;
  • payments of taxes and duties to the State Budget amounted to 71.667 thousand lei, of which 60.377 thousand lei were payroll taxes, 6.997 thousand lei were profit tax, 1.900 thousand lei VAT, and 2.393 thousand lei local taxes and duties.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 27 - INFORMATION REGARDING THE CASH FLOW (continued)

The operating activity generated a net cash of 65.381 thousand lei, representing an increase of 17.292 thousand lei compared to the same period of the previous year.

Investing activity includes:

  • interest income from bank deposits amounting to 13.210 thousand lei;
  • dividends received from Evergent Investments S.A. amounting to 2.989 thousand lei;
  • proceeds from the sale of Evergent shares (stock ticker: EVER) totalling 6.443 thousand lei.
  • The purchased shares are held both for the purpose of collecting dividends and for gains from their sale. As at 30.09.2025, the sale of EVER shares generated a gross gain of 1.279 thousand lei;
  • dividends received from affiliated entities (Airpro Consult SRL, Foar SRL) totalling 585 thousand lei;
  • payments for the acquisition of tangible and intangible fixed assets amounting to 9.697 thousand lei;
  • payments for the acquisition of financial assets (Evergent shares) amounting to 105 thousand lei.

The value of cash flow allocated to increase operating capacity represents 2% of the total aggregate cash used in operating, investing, and financing activities.

Within financing activity, an amount of 35.100 thousand lei was paid, representing dividends due to AEROSTAR's shareholders.

The level of cash and cash equivalents as at 30.09.2025 was 300.835 thousand lei, representing an increase of 40.432 thousand lei compared to the beginning of the year.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 30 - RISK MANAGEMENT

AEROSTAR is exposed to a wide range of risks and uncertainties that may affect its financial performance. The business lines operated by AEROSTAR, its operational results, or financial position could be impacted by the materialisation of the risks described below.

AEROSTAR seeks to ensure the medium- and long-term sustainability of its operations and to reduce the uncertainty associated with its strategic and financial objectives.

The risk management processes ensure the identification, analysis, evaluation, and mitigation of risks in order to minimise their effects to an agreed level.

However, there may be additional risks and uncertainties beyond those described below which are currently unknown or considered insignificant, but which could, in the future, affect AEROSTAR's business lines.

Operational Risk

Operational risk refers to the risk of incurring losses or failing to achieve estimated sales and profits, arising from:

  • the use of inadequate processes, systems, or human resources, or their failure to perform their functions properly;
  • external events and actions, such as the deterioration of global economic conditions, natural disasters, or other occurrences that may affect AEROSTAR's assets.

In view of the current global political instability, there is potential for new categories of risks to emerge. AEROSTAR closely monitors major conflict areas to assess any developments that could impact its operations or assets.

Legal Risk is considered a component of operational risk and is defined as the risk of loss arising from fines, penalties, or sanctions AEROSTAR may face due to non-compliance or improper application of legal or contractual provisions, as well as from inadequately defined contractual rights and obligations of AEROSTAR and/or its business partners.

The monitoring and mitigation of legal risk are ensured through a permanent system for tracking legislative changes, as well as through the implementation of a structured process for analysing, endorsing, and approving the terms and conditions included in commercial contracts.

AEROSTAR allocates, and will continue to allocate, funds for investments and other operating expenses aimed at preventing and managing operational risk.

In addition, AEROSTAR seeks to ensure the availability of its own funds to cover exposure to risks by establishing provisions for such risks and related expenses.

Furthermore, to mitigate operational risk, AEROSTAR annually renews, with top-tier insurance and reinsurance companies, a civil liability insurance policy covering its main lines of business (aerospace product manufacturing and commercial aircraft maintenance).

Credit risk represents the risk that AEROSTAR may incur a financial loss as a result of a business partner's failure to fulfil its contractual obligations, and it mainly arises from sight and term deposits held with banks as well as from trade receivables.

Deposits are placed only with top-tier banking institutions (top five by total assets), which are considered to have a high degree of solvency.

Credit risk, including the country risk associated with the customer's operating location, is managed individually for each business partner. When deemed necessary, specific instruments are requested to mitigate credit risk, such as advance payments, bank payment guarantees, or confirmed export letters of credit.

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousands of lei)

NOTE 30 - RISK MANAGEMENT(continued)

AEROSTAR does not have significant exposure to any single business partner, nor does it record a significant concentration of revenue in any single geographic region.

However, the company has some exposure to the global Airbus program market, as a large proportion of its products are incorporated into Airbus aircraft.

A detailed presentation of quantitative information regarding AEROSTAR's exposure to credit risk is provided in Note 18 (Financial Instruments) of the Financial Statements.

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that AEROSTAR may experience difficulties in meeting its debt obligations as they fall due.

To manage liquidity risk, cash flows are monitored and analysed on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis to assess the estimated net changes in liquidity. This analysis provides the basis for financing decisions and capital commitments.

To mitigate liquidity risk, AEROSTAR maintains an annual liquidity reserve in the form of a credit line structured as an overdraft facility granted by banks, amounting to USD 2.500 thousand. During the reporting period, AEROSTAR did not utilise this credit line, as all activities were financed from its own resources.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices.

Market risk comprises price risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk.

AEROSTAR is primarily exposed to price risk, arising from fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and supplies used in production, caused by exceptional events, the imposition of international sanctions that restrict the supply of parts and materials, or increased costs related to specific import/export tariffs on metal products to and from the United States.

This risk is managed through:

  • diversification of the supplier portfolio, providing greater negotiation leverage in the event of price increases from certain suppliers.
  • signing long-term contracts that include fixed-price clauses.

AEROSTAR is exposed to foreign exchange risk, as 87% of its revenue is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant portion of its operating expenses is in LEI. Consequently, the company is exposed to the risk that exchange rate fluctuations may affect both its net income and financial position as reported in LEI.

AEROSTAR has opted not to utilise foreign exchange hedging instruments (such as options or forward contracts) due to their relatively high upfront costs and the potential opportunity loss in the event of a RON depreciation against major currencies (USD, EUR).

A detailed analysis of AEROSTAR's sensitivity to foreign exchange rate fluctuations is provided in Note 18 (Financial Instruments) of the Financial Statements.

Regarding interest rate risk, since AEROSTAR did not utilise the contracted Credit Line during the reporting period, its revenues and cash flows were unaffected by fluctuations in market interest rates.

Other aspects of risk management are presented in the chapter "RISK AND OPPORTUNITY MANAGEMENT" within the Report of the Board of Directors.

As at 30 September 2025, Aerostar had not recognized any long-term deferred income. The category of short-term deferred income includes the value of goods delivered and services rendered, for which the income recognition criteria under IFRS 15 have not yet been met (i.e. control over the goods/services has not yet been transferred to the customer).
