Butler National Corporation operates in the aerospace and professional services sectors, specializing in aircraft modification, maintenance, repair, and gaming management services.
In its first-quarter financial results for fiscal 2026, Butler National reported a 32% increase in operating income and a 1.5% rise in revenue, with earnings per share doubling from the previous year. The company attributes its strong performance to gains in its Aerospace Products segment and growth in sports wagering.
Key financial highlights include a 7% revenue increase in the Aerospace Products segment, driven by production efficiencies and increased deliveries, alongside a 5% decline in Professional Services revenue due to economic challenges and increased revenue share paid to the State of Kansas. The company also invested $0.6 million in new product development, resulting in FAA approvals for non-halon fire extinguishers in Learjets.
Looking ahead, Butler National remains committed to maximizing stockholder value through share repurchases and anticipates continued growth in its Aerospace Products segment, despite challenges in its Professional Services division.
