STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hexcel Corporation (NYSE:HXL) today reported third quarter results reflecting diluted adjusted EPS of $0.71 on net sales of $491.5 million.

Chairman, CEO and President Nick Stanage said, “Through strong execution, we reported an adjusted EPS of $0.71 for the third quarter of 2017, bringing our cumulative adjusted EPS for the year to $1.98. Despite the short-term softness in our top line, we remained diligent in executing our operational excellence and cost-cutting initiatives, which drove solid operating and net income. Our cash performance continues to be robust, and we remain confident in meeting our goal to generate free cash flow of more than $100 million in 2017. We have a clear vision for the future centered on extending our leadership in advanced composites technology, which is supported by our continued investment in innovation and disciplined capital allocation strategies. We remain positive about the outlook for 2018 growth through aerospace, wind and automotive opportunities, and -- as we near the end of our current investment phase -- we expect to enter a period of record cash generation.”

2017 Outlook
As indicated following the second quarter, the Company expects Commercial Aerospace sales to be slightly lower compared to 2016. Space & Defense sales are better than initially expected and are now forecasted to be up low-single digits compared to 2016. However, this increase is not expected to fully offset lower wind energy sales. The Company expects wind energy sales in 2018 to exceed 2016 levels, as various legacy blades with lower composite content transition to longer, higher efficiency blades with higher composite content. Earlier this week, the Company announced that it has expanded its existing supply agreement and signed a multi-year contract with Vestas Wind Systems A/S to provide composite materials for new generation wind blades.

The Company’s full year 2017 sales guidance is now estimated to be just under $2.0 billion.

Mr. Stanage added, “Our consistent execution, disciplined cost control, and the benefits from tax initiatives should offset the impact of lower sales, and we are confident in achieving our narrowed 2017 guidance of adjusted diluted EPS of $2.64 to $2.72.”

Third Quarter Results

Sales for the third quarter of 2017 were 1.8% lower (2.4% less in constant currency) than the third quarter of 2016.

Commercial Aerospace

  • Commercial Aerospace sales of $352.6 million were 2.2% lower (2.5% in constant currency) for the quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2016. The sales decline in certain legacy widebody aircraft (i.e. A380, B777 and B747) slightly more than offset the growth of the A350 and the new narrowbody aircraft. 
  • Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,” which include regional and business aircraft customers, were down about 6% for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016.

Space & Defense

  • Space & Defense sales of $82.7 million increased 1.5% (0.7% in constant currency) for the quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2016. Rotorcraft sales comprise just over half of Space & Defense sales with strong military performance offset by weaker commercial rotorcraft sales.

Industrial

  • Total Industrial sales of $56.2 million for the third quarter of 2017 were 3.8% lower (6.5% in constant currency) than the third quarter of 2016.
  • Wind energy sales (the largest submarket in Industrial) are experiencing a challenging transition year and were more than 25% down for the quarter as compared to last year.         

Consolidated Operations

  • Gross margin for the third quarter was 27.6% compared to 27.1% in the third quarter of 2016 as both periods reflected strong operating performance.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter were lower than the prior year period as the Company maintained tight cost control.
  • Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2017 was $89.1 million, or 18.1% of sales, compared to $89.1 million, or 17.8% of sales, in 2016. The third quarter of 2017 was favorably impacted from exchange rates by about 40 basis points compared to 2016.

Year to Date 2017 Results

Sales for 2017 were 3.5% less in constant currency than the same period in 2016.

Commercial Aerospace (72% of YTD sales)

  • Commercial Aerospace sales for the first nine months of 2017 were 2.7% lower in constant currency than the same period in 2016. 
  • Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,” which include regional and business aircraft customers, were down about 7% year to date, driven by lower business jet sales.

Space & Defense (17% of YTD sales)

  • Space & Defense sales for the first nine months of $247.3 million were 2.6% higher in constant currency than the first nine months of 2016 sales. The increase was led by strong sales for the JSF program.

Industrial (11% of YTD sales)

  • Total Industrial sales for the first nine months of 2017 were $165.6 million, or 15.4% lower in constant currency, than the first nine months of 2016 sales.
  • For the first nine months of 2017, wind energy sales were down just over 30% as compared to last year.        

Consolidated Operations

  • Gross margin for the first nine months of 2017 was 28.0% compared to 28.2% for the first nine months of 2016, reflecting strong operating performance. As expected, the first nine months of 2017 included about $8.0 million of costs related to the startup and training for the new greenfield sites in France (ongoing) and Morocco (completed in Q3).
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months were 3% lower in constant currency than the prior year as the Company maintained tight cost control. Research and technology expenses for the first nine months of $36.5 million were about 7% higher in constant currency than the comparable 2016 period as the Company continues to invest in innovative composite products and solutions to support customers and next-generation products.
  • Adjusted operating income in the first nine months of 2017 of $257.4 million, or 17.6% of sales, was also favorably impacted from exchange rates by 50 basis points compared to 2016 periods. For the first nine months of 2017, depreciation and amortization expense was $8 million higher in constant currency than the comparable period for 2016.           

Cash and Other

  • The effective tax rate for the quarter was 16.5% compared to 19.3% in 2016, and the effective tax rate for the first nine months was 18.6% compared to 26.4% in 2016. The third quarter primarily benefitted from the impact of tax credits identified in the quarter, while both the quarter and the first nine months’ provision benefitted from deductions associated with share-based compensation payments. The third quarter provision included a non-recurring discrete benefit of $4.2 million ($0.05 per diluted share) from the reversal of provisions for uncertain tax positions. There was also a non-recurring discrete item in the first quarter of 2017 of $9.1 million. Excluding these non-recurring discrete items, the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2017 was 24.2% and the full year 2017 effective tax rate is now expected to be about 26%.   
  • Free cash flow for the first nine months of 2017 was a source of $87 million versus $55 million in 2016. Working capital generated cash of $5 million in the first nine months of 2017 as compared to a $38 million use in the first nine months of 2016. The primary driver was improvement in receivables through strong cash collections. Cash used for capital expenditures was $221 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $232 million in the 2016 period. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided from operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures.
  • On October 2, Hexcel completed the transaction to acquire Structil SA. This acquisition further enhances the Company’s technology portfolio with new adhesive, prepreg and pultrusion technologies. Revenues and earnings from Structil will be consolidated into the Company’s results from the beginning of the fourth quarter.
  • Year to date, the Company has used $122 million to repurchase shares of its common stock and has $271 million remaining under the authorized share repurchase program. 
  • As announced today, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share. The dividend will be payable to stockholders of record as of November 1, 2017, with a payment date of November 8.

2017 Guidance

  • Revised full year sales outlook to be just under $2.0 billion (guidance was previously to be around $2.0 billion).
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.64 to $2.72 (previously $2.64 to $2.76).
  • Free cash flow >$100 million (no change).
  • Accrual basis capital expenditures of $270 million to $290 million (no change).

  1. Non-operating expense is the accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs related to refinancing our credit facility in June 2016.   
     
  2. The 2017 three and nine months periods include benefits of $4.2 million and $9.1 million, respectively, related to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions and a valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction.  The 2016 nine month period includes a benefit of $6.6 million primarily related to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions.

NOTE: Management believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share and free cash flow (defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash payments for capital expenditures), which are non-GAAP measurements, are meaningful to investors because they provide a view of Hexcel with respect to ongoing 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. In addition, management believes that total debt, net of cash, which is also a non-GAAP measure, is an important measure of Hexcel’s liquidity. Such 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.
