This includes a forecast for revenue growth in the mid-teens (up from a previously forecast rate of low to mid-teens), with recurring operating income of \u20ac6.4-6.5 billion (previously \u20ac6.1-6.2 billion), and free cash flow forecast at \u20ac4.7-4.9 billion (previously \u20ac4.4-4.6 billion).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These numbers include an estimated \u20ac500 million negative impact from the French corporate surtax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analysts concurred with Safran\u2019s bullish assessment. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RBC Capital Markets noted that first-half revenue was around 1% above the consensus while the \u20ac3.2 billion EBIT was 6% above the market average, with margins beating consensus by 90 basis points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bernstein described the results as \u201cstellar.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robert Stallard of Vertical Research Partners noted that \u201cthese excellent results from Safran continue the pattern of strong momentum in the aero engine sector this quarter.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith continued tightness in new engine and MRO availability, we expect these conditions to continue, with increased work scopes being the icing on the cake,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safran\u2019s share price rose nearly 3% by mid-morning after the results were announced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/2026\/07\/23\/rtx-posts-strong-quarter-as-pws-geared-turbofan-saga-continues\/\">RTX<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/2026\/07\/16\/q2-2026-earnings-ge-aerospace-keeps-the-beat-despite-a-few-missed-notes\/\">GE Aerospace<\/a> reported similarly strong results earlier this month.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Strengthening demand for the LEAP engines<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insatiable demand for the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX families of narrowbody aircraft has proved a boon for CFM and its LEAP program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Production has exceeded \u200b500 units for a fourth consecutive quarter and CFM delivered 1,030 LEAP engines in the year\u2019s first half, up 41% year-over-year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That momentum was reflected last week at the Farnborough, where CFM announced a memorandum of understanding with Indian low-cost-carrier IndiGo for more than 1,000 LEAP-1A engines to power 510 Airbus A320neo family aircraft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The agreement was the largest single order ever placed for LEAP engines and a record for CFM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BOC Aviation Limited, the Singapore-based leasing company, also used the show to finalize a firm order for up to 200 LEAP-1A and 100 LEAP-1B engines to power Airbus A320neo family and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that BOC Aviation had previously ordered.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLEAP is expanding with a fast-growing number of visits, significant work scope increase, and more shop visits being performed by third-party maintenance, repair and overhaul shops,\u201d Andries said on the call.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50694\" style=\"width: 927px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0256555.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50694\" class=\"wp-image-50694\" src=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0256555-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"An A380 front axle. \" width=\"917\" height=\"611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0256555-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0256555-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0256555-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0256555-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0256555-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0256555.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-50694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>An A380 front axle. Photo: Adrien Daste \/ Safran<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the LEAP program, which celebrates its 18th birthday this summer, has only recently started turning a profit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pascal Bantegnie, Safran\u2019s chief financial officer, said that the combined program of installed and spare LEAP engines has been profitable for Safran for only about three years, but the company still takes a loss on each of its installed engines, while EBIT is \u201cstrongly positive\u201d on the spare side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Airframers eye production ramp ups<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One reason behind the positive outlook is a desire for the airframers to increase production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airbus and Boeing are both seeking to increase output: the former, to reach a capability of 75 A320neo family aircraft per month in 2027, and A350 output to 12 aircraft in 2028; the latter, to reach a target of 63 or even 70 737s per month in the coming years, from recently elevated target of 47.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andries told analysts the ramp up objectives of both Airbus and Boeing were \u201cvery good news for us and for our equipment division,\u201d especially regarding targets for A350 production, \u201cbecause in our equipment division we are more exposed to widebodies than in our engine division.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another area of growth is defense. Safran\u2019s military engine revenue increased year-over-year driven by M88 engine deliveries which reached 33 units, more than tripling last year\u2019s figure, plus a robust level of aftermarket demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safran\u2019s defense activities are varied and include inertial navigation systems, optronics, and the AASM Hammer, an air-to-surface stand-off weapon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bantegnie also said that Safran was continuing to look for acquisition opportunities. \u201cYou may have seen that we have missed one of them very recently,\u201d he said, referring to the failed attempt to acquire Exail Technologies, a French group specializing in maritime robotics, advanced navigation systems, aerospace, and photonics. \u201cSo, you can see that we continue to be active and disciplined [in pursuit of an acquisition]\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Headwinds persist<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While geopolitical instability has not yet dented Safran\u2019s output, associated headwinds still exist.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Paris-headquartered company has suffered from currency volatility with a weakening euro leading Safran to register a \u20ac188 million foreign exchange loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bantegnie said that the level of activity in the foreign exchange market observed in the first half meant it was \u201clikely that we will need to revise upward the volumes to be hedged for the remainder of the year and for future periods.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOverall,\u201d he added, \u201cour hedge portfolio continues to serve as a key protection mechanism, providing us with solid visibility on future dollar exposure, despite currency volatility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50695\" style=\"width: 941px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0288778.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50695\" class=\"wp-image-50695\" src=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0288778-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Seats on final assembly, Economy class, Safran.\" width=\"931\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0288778-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0288778-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0288778-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0288778-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SAF2018_0288778.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-50695\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Economy class seats on Safran\u2019s final assembly. Photo: Frank Rogozienski \/ CAPA Pictures \/ Safran<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another hurdle is aircraft seating. Both a certification logjam and the increasingly complex, bespoke nature of seating orders is leading to delays in aircraft deliveries. This is particularly prevalent for premium cabin seating where sliding doors and innovative designs require additional testing and approvals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Safran Vue seat, for instance, is destined for Delta\u2019s new Airbus A321neos. However, significant delays are reportedly leading the airline to consider alternatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commenting on the problem of aircraft seating delays more generally, Andries said: \u201cWe\u2019ve not yet turned the corner. It\u2019s an industry issue that is now well understood and identified by the airframers and by the airworthiness authorities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe airworthiness authorities have elevated their interpretation of pre-existing rules in a view that is creating roadblocks for the certification of seats and therefore for deliveries of seats. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not a Safran issue. It\u2019s an industry issue that we need to be tackled. I hope we will be able to turn the corner by the end of this year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- END .article -->\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free for nonsubscribers By Thomas Blackwood\u00a0 July 28, 2026, \u00a9 Leeham News: Safran delivered stronger-than-expected earnings results for the first half of the year, after robust demand in the civil engine aftermarket and a ramp up in LEAP engine deliveries drove record financial performance.
