             This press release contains certain
              statements relating to future
              results, which are forward-looking
              statements as that term is defined
              in the Private Securities
              Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
              These forward-looking statements
              are based on beliefs of Company
              management, as well as assumptions
              and estimates based on information
              currently available to the Company,
              and are subject to certain risks
              and uncertainties that could cause
              actual results to differ materially
              from historical results or those
              anticipated, including those
              factors discussed under Item 1A,
              entitled "Risk Factors", included
              in the Company's Form 10-K for the
              fiscal year ended May 31, 2018.
              Should one or more of these risks
              or uncertainties materialize
              adversely, or should underlying
              assumptions or estimates prove
              incorrect, actual results may vary
              materially from those described.
              These events and uncertainties are
              difficult or impossible to predict
              accurately and many are beyond the
              Company's control. The Company
              assumes no obligation to update any
              forward-looking statements to
              reflect events or circumstances
              after the date of such statements
              or to reflect the occurrence of
              anticipated or unanticipated
              events. For additional information,
              see the comments included in AAR's
