StandardAero Announces Upgraded S&P Rating

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StandardAero, Inc. (NYSE: SARO) (“StandardAero” or the “Company”), a leading independent pure-play provider of aerospace engine aftermarket services including engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and engine component repair, announced today that S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) recently upgraded the Company’s credit ratings based on its investments in strategic expansion, stable margin profile, consistent top line growth as well as positive cash flow expansion.

S&P raised its issuer credit rating on StandardAero to ‘BB’ from ‘BB-,’ while simultaneously raising its issue-level ratings on the Company’s senior secured debt to ‘BB’ from ‘BB-.’

“S&P Global Ratings’ recent upgrade reflects the strength of our competitive positioning and the sustained demand we are seeing across our global MRO ecosystem,” said Dan Satterfield, Chief Financial Officer for StandardAero. “Amid ongoing capacity constraints within the industry and sustained customer demand, our differentiated platform portfolio positions us to drive long-term growth, expand profitability, and deliver robust cash generation.”

The S&P credit rating upgrade follows Moody’s announcement in May 2026 that it was upgrading StandardAero’s corporate family rating, senior secured first lien term loan B1 and B2, and senior secured revolving credit facility.
