Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) today reported second quarter 2024 results including net sales of $500 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.60 per share.

CEO and President Tom Gentile said, “Our Hexcel team delivered a solid financial performance in the second quarter with strong overall revenue growth that drove continued recovery in margins. We are well-positioned and ready to support our customers’ rate increases and remain excited about the medium-term outlook and opportunity. In the near term, aircraft delivery levels and public comments by our customers on production plans warrant a more cautious stance, which we are reflecting in our revised 2024 guidance. We remain strongly positioned for growth with available plant capacity, and we continue employee training and operational optimization for the production ramp ahead. Reflecting our continued confidence in Hexcel’s future, we repurchased another $100 million of Hexcel common stock during the second quarter, bringing the total 2024 share repurchases to $200 million.”

Mr. Gentile continued, “Since joining Hexcel earlier this year, I have had the chance to visit more than half of our manufacturing sites, which has accelerated my learning about our products and capabilities. Hexcel’s broad portfolio of lightweight materials is helping current programs reduce carbon emissions and suppress noise, and our R&T team is advancing technologies that will help next generation products drive more efficient and sustainable aviation.”

(a)

To assist in the analysis of the Company’s net sales trend, total net sales and sales by market for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 have been estimated using the same U.S. dollar, British pound and Euro exchange rates as applied for the respective periods in 2024 and are referred to as “constant currency” sales.

(b)

FX effect is the estimated impact on “as reported” net sales due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

(a) The quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included restructuring costs.

 

NOTE: Management believes that adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures, are meaningful to investors because they provide a view of Hexcel with respect to the underlying operating results excluding special items. Special items represent significant charges or credits that are important to an understanding of Hexcel’s overall operating results in the periods presented. Non-GAAP measurements are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
