Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) today reported second quarter 2021 results including net sales of $320 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.08 per share.

Chairman, CEO and President Nick Stanage said, “I am pleased to report a positive quarter for Hexcel as we begin to return to top line growth. Sales in the second quarter were in line with our expectations, and we delivered solid margin performance supported by favorable mix from higher fiber sales, which combined with planned reductions in our overhead cost base, resulted in 8 cents of adjusted EPS for the quarter. Looking forward, we expect the majority of commercial aerospace supply chain destocking to be largely behind us with a small amount remaining in the second half of the year.”

Mr. Stanage continued, “We are encouraged that airlines are placing new orders with the commercial aerospace OEMs, leading once again to a growing aircraft backlog as passenger numbers continue to increase steadily around the world. Our team is prepared and focused on ramping up production levels to meet growing customer demand, particularly as aircraft operators seek more aerodynamic, lightweight aircraft that improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. I am excited about the path ahead with significant Hexcel sales growth expected in 2022, 2023 and beyond as we drive strong incremental profits, generate robust positive cash flow and deliver increasing shareholder returns.”

Markets

Sales in the second quarter of 2021 were $320.3 million compared to $378.7 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Commercial Aerospace

• Commercial Aerospace sales of $153.7 million decreased 24.6% (24.8% in constant currency) for the quarter compared to the second quarter of 2020. Narrowbody demand is recovering with sales in the second quarter of 2021 reaching their highest level since the first quarter of 2020 when the pandemic was just beginning.
• Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,” which include regional and business aircraft, fell by 26.6% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. Business jets is the largest market within Other Commercial Aerospace and sales continued to recover sequentially in the second quarter of 2021 however remained below prior year levels.

Space & Defense

• Space & Defense sales of $106.9 million decreased 1.4% (2.7% in constant currency) for the quarter as compared to 2020. This nominal decrease reflected temporary pandemic-induced disruptions within select space and defense platforms globally, while overall the space and defense outlook remains robust.

Industrial

• Total Industrial sales of $59.7 million in the second quarter were down 10.1% (15.1% in constant currency) compared to the second quarter of 2020. Solid sales in other industrial markets including automotive and recreation helped offset some of the reduced wind energy sales.
• Wind energy sales (the largest submarket in Industrial), experienced a decline of 43.9% in constant currency compared to the second quarter of 2020 reflecting the continued lower demand and cessation of sales in North America.

Consolidated Operations

Gross margin for the second quarter was 19.3% compared to 14.5% in the prior year period reflecting a step up in carbon fiber production and sales resulting in a strong margin mix as well as the lower operating overhead cost base. Selling, general and administrative and R&T expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were 20% higher than the prior year, however 21% lower than Q2 2019. Other operating expenses included restructuring costs. Adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2021 was $19.3 million, or 6.0% of sales, compared to $19.5 million, or 5.1% of sales in 2020. The impact of exchange rates on operating income as a percent of sales was favorable by approximately seventy basis points in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020.

NOTE: Management believes that adjusted operating income, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share, the adjusted tax rate, 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.
