Chief Executive Johannes Bussmann pointed to consistently high demand for products and services as the primary driver for the second upward revision of the company's cash conversion rate this year, now set at 55% to 60%. The firm, a critical partner for Airbus and Boeing, remains a fixture in global aviation, with its components powering one-third of the world’s commercial fleet.

Third-quarter sales reached 2.42 billion euros, outpacing the 2.37 billion euros forecast by market analysts. Commercial maintenance operations proved the most lucrative segment, generating 1.72 billion euros alone. Despite the top-line strength, net profit dipped to 227 million euros from 250 million euros a year ago. Investors focused instead on adjusted net profit, which climbed to 249 million euros, though this still fell slightly short of the 252 million euros consensus estimate. MTU maintained its annual adjusted EBIT target, holding steady in the range of 1.35 billion to 1.45 billion euros.
