AAR Corp. (NYSE: AIR) announced that Dylan Wolin will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer effective February 23, 2026. Wolin returns to the company after serving as President of the Elgin, Trackless, and Vactor divisions at Federal Signal Corporation from 2024 to 2026, and previously led AAR’s strategic and corporate development, treasury, and investor relations functions from 2017 to 2024.
Wolin’s experience spans corporate development at Boeing, a vice‑presidency in Deutsche Bank’s Global Industrials Group, and a decade of leadership at AAR, where he helped execute the company’s portfolio repositioning and the acquisitions of Trax and Triumph Product Support. His return is intended to reinforce AAR’s financial stewardship as the company continues to pursue margin expansion and strategic growth through acquisitions.
AAR’s recent financial performance underscores the importance of the CFO role. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the company reported sales of $795 million, up 16% year‑over‑year, and an adjusted diluted EPS of $1.18, a 31% increase from the prior year. Adjusted operating margin improved to 10.2% in that quarter, driven by higher mix in high‑margin segments and the accretive impact of the Triumph Product Support acquisition. The CFO’s focus on cost discipline and capital allocation will support continued margin gains and the execution of the company’s growth strategy.
John M. Holmes, AAR’s Chairman, President and CEO, said, “I worked very closely with Dylan during his seven years at AAR. He was instrumental in developing the strategy we are executing today. I am thrilled he is rejoining our senior leadership team, bringing valuable additional operational and strategic experience.” Wolin added, “AAR’s strong team, unique customer value proposition, and exciting additional growth opportunities underscore the Company’s compelling future. I am eager to partner with John and the rest of the AAR team to drive continued execution of AAR’s growth strategy.”
