AIR Global reported a 3.7% revenue increase to $206.9 million in H1 2026 despite severe supply chain disruption from the Strait of Hormuz closure, leveraging 14% price mix growth to offset volume declines. Adjusted EBITDA remained flat at $71.7 million while reported results showed a net loss due to IPO-related expenses; regional variations included strong US market share gains but challenges from European excise tax hikes and logistics issues in the Middle East and Africa.
