RBC Bearings Reports Strong Q2 2027 Results Driven by Aerospace and Industrial Growth
RBC Bearings (RBC) delivered robust second-quarter fiscal 2027 results, reporting net sales of $524.6 million, a 15.2% increase year-over-year. The growth was fueled by double-digit gains in both the Aerospace & Defense and Industrial segments. Adjusted EPS rose significantly to $3.74, representing nearly 30% growth compared to the previous year, while adjusted EBITDA reached $175 million with a healthy 33.4% margin. The company's order backlog saw substantial expansion, reaching $2.4 billion from $1.6 billion a year ago. Despite strong demand in commercial aerospace and defense—specifically regarding missile programs like Tomahawk—management noted that production capacity constraints and supply chain difficulties have hindered the ability to meet all customer requests for accelerated deliveries. Financially, RBC Bearings demonstrated disciplined capital management by retiring $96 million in debt, including the full repayment of a term loan ahead of schedule. Looking forward, the company provided Q3 revenue guidance between $520 million and $525 million.
