TransDigm Group Inc. Achieves Strong Q2 2025 Results as Kevin Stein Announces Retirement

TransDigm Group Inc., a leading aerospace company, has reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2025, with revenue and earnings exceeding expectations. In a conference call on July 31, 2025, CEO Kevin Stein announced his retirement, effective October 1, 2025, and named Co-COO Mike Lisman as his successor.

During the call, Stein highlighted the company's unique strategy, which has enabled it to deliver consistent value creation for shareholders. "We believe we are unique in the industry in both the consistency of our strategy in both good times and bad as well as our steady focus on intrinsic shareholder value creation through all phases of the aerospace cycle," he said.

Stein noted that approximately 90% of TransDigm's net sales come from proprietary products, which have higher margins and provide stability during downturns. The company's decentralized organizational structure and unique compensation system also contribute to its ability to deliver long-term value creation.

Mike Lisman, who will take over as CEO on October 1, 2025, has been with the company for several years and has held various leadership roles. "Mike understands our unique culture and process and embraces our long-term value-generating strategy," Stein said. "He has contributed substantially to the value that TransDigm has created over his tenure."

TransDigm's Q2 2025 results showed revenue growth of [insert percentage] compared to the same period last year, with earnings per share (EPS) increasing by [insert percentage]. The company's aftermarket revenues, which have higher margins than its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sales, continued to drive profitability.

"Our consistent long-term strategy and focus on intrinsic shareholder value creation have allowed us to deliver strong results even in challenging times," Stein said. "We are confident that Mike will continue this momentum as our new CEO."

Under Stein's leadership, TransDigm has achieved significant growth and expanded its presence in the aerospace industry. As he prepares to retire, the company is poised for continued success under Lisman's guidance.

"I am proud of what we have accomplished at TransDigm," Stein said. "I am confident that Mike will lead the company to even greater heights."
