“We're expecting double-digit removals this year from engines that have already flown.”

In context

“e parts first, our delinquency when we ended 2025 was up 50% over where we ended 2024. So as Larry mentioned, strong demand environment. As you think about the spare parts growth, it's gonna be primarily driven by narrow body. That's coming as the LEAP external channel continues to grow, and more than 15% of the LEAP shop visits are now performed by a third-party channel partner. CFM56 continues to be strong as well. Larry mentioned in his prepared remarks about how we ended 2025 retirements, which were similar to 2024. As we think about 2026, we expect retirements to be in the 2% range. Our prior expectations were in the 2% to 3% range, so trending a little bit better, and that puts CFM shop visits in the 2,300 to 2,400 range between 2026 and 2028. External demand environment looks good. We're expecting double-digit removals this year from engines that have already flown. Plus, the work scope continues to increase a little bit of price. All of that leads to that 15% growth that we mentioned on shop visit. Overall, we feel good about the services outlook for 2026. Operator: The next question comes from Myles Walton with Wolfe Research. Your line is now open. Myles Walton: Good morning. Larry Culp: Good morning, Myles. Myles Walton: I was wondering about the LEAP breakeven or LEAP profitability on the original equipment side. Are we crossing the root count of profit or breakeven in '26 still? Larry, you must be feeling a lot better about the trajectory to get output on a LEAP to 2,500 by 2028. What, if anything, is required from investment within the supply chain, not the MRO network, but more the OE side of the supply chain still to get to where manufacture”
