TransDigm executed a major balance sheet restructuring, substantially reducing current liabilities and cash while increasing total debt by $4.9 billion to $29.3 billion.

The dramatic reduction in current liabilities alongside the cash decrease and debt increase suggests TDG completed a significant financing transaction, likely involving debt refinancing or a major capital return to shareholders. The company maintained strong operational performance with net income growing 21% and operating income expanding 18%, indicating the financial restructuring occurred from a position of operational strength rather than distress.
