FACC Reports Earnings and Revenue Growth in Q1 2026
Aerospace component manufacturer FACC AG announced a strong first quarter for fiscal year 2026, with revenue increasing 11.8% and operating profit more than doubling.
Austria-based aerospace component manufacturer FACC AG reported a significant increase in both revenue and earnings for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. Revenue rose by 11.8% to EUR 258.2 million, up from EUR 231 million in the prior-year period. The company's operating profit (EBIT) more than doubled, reaching EUR 9.7 million, a substantial increase of 125.6% from EUR 4.3 million in Q1 2025.
FACC stated that all divisions performed positively and the company's headcount grew to 4,017 full-time equivalents. Despite the positive financial results, FACC acknowledged ongoing challenges in the dynamic market environment, including disruptions in international supply chains and high material and personnel costs. The geopolitical situation in the Middle East also required increased coordination with global customers.
In addition to its operational performance, FACC achieved several strategic milestones. The company plans to expand its production capacity in Upper Austria with a new plant, representing an investment of approximately EUR 120 million. FACC also secured a new cabin contract with Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer and was recognized as Embraer's "Supplier of the Year" for the third consecutive year.
The company reaffirmed its outlook for the full fiscal year 2026, expecting revenue growth between 5% and 15% and a further improvement in operating profit. FACC is benefiting from the overall robustness of the global aviation industry, which shows a substantial backlog of over 17,700 aircraft, driving increased production rates.
