2. Results of Operations
A discussion of Magellan’s operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026

The Corporation reported revenue in the first quarter of 2026 of $285.1 million, a $24.2 million or 9.3% increase from the first quarter of 2025 revenue of $260.9 million. Gross profit and net income for the first quarter of 2026 were $40.6 million and $16.5 million, respectively, in comparison to gross profit of $33.7 million and net income of $10.8 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Consolidated Revenue

Revenues in Canada increased 2.7% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to higher casting product and engine part revenues offset in part by lower propulsion product revenues.

Revenues in the United States increased 6.5% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, mainly due to higher narrow body and wide body aircraft part revenues, offset in part by lower engine shaft revenues and unfavourable foreign exchange impacts due to the weakening of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar. On a currency neutral basis, revenues in the United States increased by 11.4% in the first quarter of 2026 over the same period in 2025.

European revenues in the first quarter of 2026 increased 20.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2025 primarily driven by higher revenues for narrow body and wide body aircraft parts, higher maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) revenues and favourable foreign exchange impacts due to the strengthening of the British Pound relative to the Canadian dollar. On a currency neutral basis, revenues in Europe increased by 17.4% in the first quarter of 2026 over the same period in 2025.

Gross Profit

Gross profit of $40.6 million for the first quarter of 2026 was $6.9 million higher than the $33.7 million gross profit for the first quarter of 2025, and gross profit as a percentage of revenues of 14.2% for the first quarter of 2026 increased from the 12.9% recorded in the same period in 2025. The gross profit in the current quarter increased from the same quarter in the prior year as a result of volume and price increases and favourable product mix, offset in part by price increases on purchased materials and supplies.

Administrative and General Expenses

Administrative and general expenses as a percentage of revenues of 6.1% for the first quarter of 2026 were higher on a nominal basis than the same period of 2025, and were also higher as a percentage of revenues. Administrative and general expenses increased $2.2 million or 14.1% to $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $15.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 mainly due to higher salary and benefit costs, including long-term incentive bonuses and increased information technology spending.

Other Expense

Other expense for the first quarter of 2026 included a $2.2 million foreign exchange gain compared to a $2.9 million foreign exchange loss in the first quarter of the prior year. The movements in balances denominated in foreign currencies and the fluctuations of the foreign exchange rates impact the net foreign exchange gain or loss recorded in a quarter.

Other expense in the first quarter of 2026 also included $3.2 million of costs mainly related to legal defence costs of subsidiaries of the Corporation surrounding environmental claims and orders for former sites of such subsidiary companies, compared to a Nil amount in the first quarter of the prior year. Refer to the “Legal Proceedings and Environmental Orders” section under Liquidity and Capital Resources for more information.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 was slightly higher compared to the first quarter of 2025 mainly due to lower net interest income on cash, bank indebtedness and long-term debt.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4.9 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 23.0%, compared to 27.8% for the same period of 2025. The change in effective tax rate and current and deferred income tax expenses year over year was primarily due to the change in mix of income and loss across the different jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates and the reversal of temporary differences.

3. Selected Quarterly Financial Information
A summary view of Magellan’s quarterly financial performance

Revenues and net income in the quarter were impacted by the movements of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar and British pound, when the Corporation translates its foreign operations to Canadian dollars. Further, the movements in the United States dollar relative to the British pound impact the Corporation’s United States dollar exposures in its European operations. During the periods reported, the average quarterly exchange rate of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar fluctuated between a high of 1.4350 in the first quarter of 2025 and a low of 1.3637 in the third quarter of 2024. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the Canadian dollar reached a high of 1.8573 in the third quarter of 2025 and hit a low of 1.7272 in the second quarter of 2024. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the United States dollar reached a high of 1.3483 in the third quarter of 2025 and hit a low of 1.2600 in the first quarter of 2025.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 of $285.1 million was higher than that in the first quarter of 2025. The average quarterly exchange rate of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar in the first quarter of 2026 was 1.3715 versus 1.4350 in the same period of 2025. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the Canadian dollar moved from 1.8081 in the first quarter of 2025 to 1.8490 during the current quarter. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the United States dollar increased from 1.2600 in the first quarter of 2025 to 1.3482 in the current quarter.

Since the second quarter of 2024, the Company has seen a general, but uneven, growth trend in quarterly revenues.

4. Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
A description and reconciliation of certain non-IFRS measures used by management

In addition to the primary measures of earnings and earnings per share (basic and diluted) in accordance with IFRS, the Corporation includes EBITDA (net income before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-operational items related to former sites of subsidiary companies) in this news release.

The Corporation has provided these measures because it believes this information is used by certain investors to assess financial performance and that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Corporation’s principal business activities prior to consideration of how these activities are financed and how the results are taxed in the various jurisdictions. Each component of these measures is calculated in accordance with IFRS, but EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measures under IFRS, and the Corporation’s method of calculation may not be comparable with that of other companies. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as an alternative to net income as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to cash provided by or used in operations.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2026 increased $9.6 million or 35.4% to $36.9 million in comparison to $27.3 million in the same quarter of 2025 mainly as a result of gross margin improvements and higher foreign exchange income movements offset in part by higher administrative and general expenses.

5. Liquidity and Capital Resources
A discussion of Magellan’s cash flow, liquidity, credit facilities and other disclosures

The Corporation’s liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources including cash on hand, cash provided by operations, short-term borrowings from its credit facility and accounts receivable securitization program, and long-term debt and equity capacity. Principal uses of cash are for operational requirements, capital expenditures, common share repurchases and dividend payments. Based on current funds available and expected cash flow from operating activities, management believes that the Corporation has sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. However, if cash from operating activities is lower than expected or capital projects exceed current estimates, or if the Corporation incurs major unanticipated expenses, it may be required to seek additional capital in the form of debt or equity or a combination of both.

Cash Flow from Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, operating activities used $1.8 million of cash compared to providing cash of $21.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. Changes in non-cash working capital items used cash of $30.3 million, $29.6 million higher when compared to the cash used from working capital of $0.7 million in the prior year. This working capital decrease is largely attributable to increases in accounts receivables from timing of customer payments, increases in contract assets due to higher in-process unbilled work, increases in prepaid expenses and other due to timing of vendor deposits and decreases in contract liabilities due to timing of customer deposits. These increases were offset in part by increases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions primarily driven by timing of material purchases and supplier payments.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Investing activities used $15.5 million of cash in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $13.2 million of cash used in the same quarter of the prior year, an increase of $2.3 million. The increase in cash usage was primarily due to higher levels of investment in property, plant and equipment.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Financing activities provided $4.4 million of cash in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $9.0 million of cash used in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by increases in bank indebtedness and increases in long-term debt.

Financing Matters
On June 24, 2025, the Corporation extended its 2023 Credit Facility with a syndicate of lenders for an additional two-year period expiring on June 30, 2027. The 2025 Credit Facility provides for a multi-currency global operating credit facility to be available to the Corporation in a maximum aggregate amount of $75 million. Interest applicable to the facility is at adjusted term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) rates or adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing (“SOFR”) rates plus a spread of 1.00%. The facility also includes a $75 million uncommitted accordion provision, which provides the Corporation with the option to increase the size of the operating credit facility to $150 million. Extensions of the 2025 Credit Facility are subject to mutual consent of the syndicate of lenders and the Corporation. A fixed and floating charge on accounts receivable, inventories and property, plant and equipment are pledged as collateral for the operating credit facility.

In March 2026, the Corporation received an $8,000 interest free government loan which is repayable over a five year period commencing in 2029 and is conditional on the achievement of certain terms in the agreement. The fair value of the loan was determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using a current rate for debt with similar terms and maturities. The difference between the fair value of the loan and the cash received has been recorded as a reduction in property, plant and equipment.

Legal Proceedings and Environmental Orders
A subsidiary of the Corporation is a defendant in a legal action related to the environmental remediation of a former operating site in Torrance, California. In the first quarter of 2026, the trial commenced and arguments by the plaintiff and the defendants were presented. At this time, management cannot predict with certainty the extent of the subsidiary’s liability, if any, the total costs of remediation, the subsidiary’s share of the total cost, the extent to which contributions will be available from other parties, the amount of time necessary to complete the remediation or the insurance coverage available to it.

Commitments
As at March 31, 2026, the Corporation had contractual commitments to purchase $20.0 million of capital assets.

Dividends
During the first quarter of 2026, the Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share and paid dividends of $2.9 million.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common shares of $0.05 per common share. The dividend will be payable on June 30, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 16, 2026. The Board of Directors of the Corporation continues to review its dividends on a quarterly basis to ensure that the dividend declared balances the return of capital to shareholders while maintaining adequate financial flexibility and funds available for growth initiatives.

Normal Course Issuer Bid
On June 11, 2025, the Corporation extended its previous normal course issuer bid (“2025 NCIB”). The 2025 NCIB allows the Corporation to purchase up to 2,856,929 common shares, over a 12-month period commencing June 13, 2025, and ending June 12, 2026.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Corporation did not purchase any common shares for cancellation. During the same period in the prior year, the Corporation purchased 400 common shares for cancellation at a cost of $4 thousand.

Outstanding Share Information
The authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of preference shares, issuable in series, and an unlimited number of common shares. As at May 8, 2026, 57,079,054 common shares were outstanding and no preference shares were outstanding.

7, Outlook
The outlook for Magellan’s business in 2026

Commercial Aerospace Market

The industry outlook continues to be cautiously optimistic based on aircraft deliveries from Airbus and Boeing. The following commercial aircraft orders, backlog and delivery data was extracted from Forecast International’s (“FI”) Flight Plan publication dated April 22, 2026 and verified with Airbus and Boeing official first quarter 2026 delivery announcements.

Boeing’s gross order intake for the first quarter of 2026 was 161 aircraft of which 105 orders were for the 737 aircraft. This compares to gross orders of 408 aircraft for Airbus of which 336 of the aircraft orders were for the A320 family. The backlog at the end of the quarter was reported at 6,719 aircraft for Boeing and 9,031 aircraft for Airbus. The majority of the combined backlog of Boeing and Airbus of 15,750 aircraft is for narrowbody aircraft with the A220, A320, and 737 making up 12,718 aircraft of the total combined amount. Over 60% of the narrowbody backlog is with Airbus.

Deliveries in the first quarter of 2026 totaled 143 aircraft for Boeing and 114 aircraft for Airbus. While Airbus was able to deliver 60 aircraft in March, deliveries continue to be limited by the supply of engines.

Defence Aerospace Market

The defence market is expected to be positioned for sustained growth in 2026 and beyond in response to rising threat perceptions and geopolitical tensions. In a February 2026 article, BNN Bloomberg reported the rise in global defence spending is being seen as governments adapt to new deterrence strategies and modern warfare technologies with an increased focus on missile defence, autonomous systems and advanced defence technology.

The Government of Canada announced in early June 2025 a firm commitment of over $9 billion in 2025-2026 funding to accelerate the achievement of the then North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) goal of 2% gross domestic product (“GDP”) for defence, and subsequently announced a new defence spending goal of 5% GDP to be achieved by 2035. In a March 26, 2026 news release, the Government of Canada announced that it has officially achieved the NATO defence spending target of 2% of GDP for its 2025–26 fiscal year.

Overall Aerospace Market Outlook

The overall positive outlook for demand in the commercial and defense aerospace markets is tempered by common challenges. Global supply chain vulnerabilities tied to raw materials and skilled labor shortages remain a concern in both the commercial and defence sections. Growing geopolitical security and tariff policy issues add to these concerns as these forces work by reducing the interconnectivity of the global supply chain in the aerospace markets.

As we move further into 2026, the industry outlook remains one of caution, in spite of all the demand related tailwinds. As military events in the Middle East continue, the potential to disrupt the aerospace industry through tightening jet fuel supplies, significant airspace closures and flight cancellations increases. It remains to be seen what magnitude these events will have on the aerospace industry as a whole, and on the broader global economy.
