New York, NY - February 13th, 2026 - JCA, a leading provider of advanced materials and solutions for the aerospace and defense industries, today unveiled its revenue targets for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, alongside a suite of strategic initiatives designed to accelerate growth and broaden its market reach. The company is forecasting substantial revenue gains driven by existing contracts, a robust order backlog, and planned strategic acquisitions.

JCA projects $1.85 billion in revenue for FY26, representing a 12% increase over the previous fiscal year. Building on this momentum, the company anticipates further growth to $2.2 billion in FY27. These ambitious targets are anchored in the successful completion of key defense contracts - notably the ongoing 'Project Nightingale' supplying advanced composite materials for next-generation fighter jets - and the anticipated closure of two targeted acquisitions in the advanced ceramics sector.

"We are confident in our ability to deliver on these financial goals," stated Amelia Hernandez, Chief Financial Officer at JCA. "Our investments in cutting-edge materials science, coupled with a disciplined approach to operational efficiency, position us for sustained, profitable growth. The rising demand for lightweight, high-performance materials in both the aerospace and defense sectors provides a strong tailwind for our business."

Key areas of strategic focus for JCA include expanding its portfolio of high-temperature alloys, developing next-generation ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) for turbine engine components, and significantly bolstering its presence in the burgeoning Asian-Pacific defense market. The company intends to achieve these objectives through a multi-pronged approach:

• Strategic Acquisitions: JCA is actively pursuing acquisitions that complement its existing capabilities and expand its technological footprint. The two aforementioned deals, expected to finalize in Q2 and Q3 of 2026, will add significant expertise in ceramic materials and processing, allowing JCA to offer a more comprehensive suite of solutions to its customers.
• Increased R&D Investment: JCA plans to increase its research and development spending by 15% in FY26 and FY27, focusing on the development of novel materials with enhanced performance characteristics. This investment will be directed toward projects exploring self-healing materials, advanced coatings, and additive manufacturing techniques.
• International Expansion: The company is prioritizing growth in the Asia-Pacific region, establishing a new engineering and sales office in Singapore to better serve customers in the region. This expansion will also facilitate collaborations with leading research institutions in the area.
• Supply Chain Resilience: Recognizing the importance of a robust and resilient supply chain, JCA is diversifying its sourcing of critical raw materials and investing in advanced supply chain management technologies. This initiative is designed to mitigate risks associated with geopolitical instability and ensure uninterrupted production.
• Sustainability Initiatives: JCA is also committing to reduce its carbon footprint by 20% by 2028, integrating more sustainable manufacturing practices and exploring the use of recycled materials.

The announcement has been met with positive investor sentiment, with JCA's stock price climbing 3.5% in pre-market trading. Analysts at Goldman Sachs upgraded JCA from 'Neutral' to 'Buy', citing the company's strong growth prospects and strategic positioning in a rapidly evolving market. However, some analysts have expressed caution, pointing to potential challenges associated with integrating acquired companies and navigating fluctuating commodity prices.

"We see JCA as a bellwether for the advanced materials sector," noted Sarah Chen, Senior Aerospace Analyst at JP Morgan. "Their commitment to innovation and strategic expansion positions them well to capitalize on the increasing demand for lightweight, durable materials in aerospace and defense."
