Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) today reported second quarter 2022 results including net sales of $393 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.33 per share.

Chairman, CEO and President Nick Stanage said, “The second quarter demonstrated our continued ability to deliver solid results and to perform consistently in the face of supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, which we expect to be present at least through the end of 2022. We remain encouraged by the ongoing recovery in air travel that is supporting growth in the commercial aerospace market, as well as the strength in Space and Defense and the success that our Industrial team is achieving in both existing and new markets. We continue to tightly manage our cost base and focus strongly on working capital as our business grows. Our key priorities continue to be meeting the needs of our customers, optimizing incremental margins, and driving innovation to support the global drive for fuel efficiency and emissions reduction from composite lightweighting.”

Markets

Sales in the second quarter of 2022 were $393.0 million compared to $320.3 million in the second quarter of 2021.

Commercial Aerospace

• Commercial Aerospace sales of $227.6 million increased 48.1% (49.5% in constant currency) for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 led by growth in the A350, A320neo and 737 MAX programs. The sub-category Other Commercial Aerospace, which includes business jets and regional aircraft, increased 75.4% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Space & Defense

• Space & Defense sales of $111.9 million increased 4.7% (7.0% in constant currency) for the quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2021 with growth in Space, CH-53K heavy lift helicopter and a number of international programs.

Industrial

• Total Industrial sales of $53.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 decreased 10.4% (3.5% in constant currency) compared to the second quarter of 2021 as lower wind energy sales and the negative impact of foreign exchange, was only partially offset by growth in automotive, recreation and other industrial sales.

Consolidated Operations

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 22.8% compared to 19.3% in the second quarter of 2021 as higher sales volume drove favorable operating leverage. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative and R&T expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were 11.4% compared to 13.3% for the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2022 was $44.7 million or 11.4% of sales, compared to $19.3 million, or 6.0% of sales in 2021. Other operating income for the second quarter of 2022 included a pre-tax net gain of $19.4 million from the sale of our Dublin, California site as we transfer our R&T laboratory from Dublin to a new, flagship Center of Research & Technology Excellence at our Salt Lake City site in Utah. The impact of exchange rates on operating income as a percent of sales was favorable by approximately 30 basis points in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Year-to-Date 2022 Results

Sales for the first six months of 2022 were $783.6 million compared to $630.6 million for the same period in 2021.

Commercial Aerospace (57% of YTD sales)

• Commercial Aerospace sales of $446.5 million increased 48.2% (49.2% in constant currency) for the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 on stronger narrowbody and A350 sales, whereas sales in the prior year period were impacted by channel destocking.

Space & Defense (29% of YTD sales)

• Space & Defense sales of $230.1 million increased 5.3% (7.0% in constant currency) for the first six months of 2022 as compared to the first six months of 2021, led by growth in Space and the CH-53K program.

Industrial (14% of YTD sales)

• Total Industrial sales of $107.0 million in the first six months of 2022 decreased 3.3% (increased 2.6% in constant currency) compared to the first six months of 2021 as growth in automotive, recreation and other industrial markets was not enough to offset the negative impact of foreign exchange rates and lower wind energy sales.

Consolidated Operations

Gross margin for the first six months of 2022 was 22.5% compared to 18.2% in the prior year period as higher sales and greater capacity utilization led to improved cost absorption. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative and R&T expenses for the first six months of 2022 were 12.8% compared to 14.9% for the first six months of 2021. Adjusted operating income for the first six months of 2022 was $75.8 million or 9.7% of sales, compared to $21.2 million, or 3.4% of sales in 2021. Other operating income for the first six months of 2022 included a pre-tax net gain of $19.4 million from the Dublin property sale, partially offset by restructuring costs. The impact of exchange rates on operating income as a percent of sales was favorable by approximately 25 basis points in the first six months of 2022 compared to 2021.

Cash and other

• The second quarter 2022 tax expense was $12.7 million. The tax expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $4.0 million and included a discrete tax charge of $2.7 million related to the remeasurement of the net deferred tax liability in a foreign jurisdiction. The tax expense for the first six months of 2022 was $17.4 million. The tax benefit for the first six months of 2021 was $3.5 million and included a discrete tax benefit of $3.2 million for the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities related to a favorable U.S. state tax law change in addition to the discrete tax charge of $2.7 million mentioned above. The underlying effective tax rate for 2022 continues to be 23%.
• Net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2022 was $18.3 million, compared to $38.9 million for the first six months of 2021. Working capital was a cash use of $95.1 million for the first six months of 2022 and a use of $19.6 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase in working capital supports growing sales. Capital expenditures on a cash basis were $37.9 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $9.2 million for the first six months of 2021 with the increase reflecting two previously announced ongoing construction projects; the construction of a research and technology innovation center in Salt Lake City, Utah and the expansion of Hexcel’s engineered core operations in Morocco. Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included the net proceeds of $21.2 million received from the sale of our facility in Dublin, California. Free cash flow was ($19.6) million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $29.7 million in the first six months of 2021. Free cash flow is defined as cash generated from operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures on an accrual basis were $28.3 million and $7.8 million for the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
• The Company did not repurchase any common stock during the second quarter of 2022. The remaining authorization under the share repurchase program at June 30, 2022, was $217 million.
• As announced today, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share payable to stockholders of record as of August 5, 2022, with a payment date of August 12, 2022.

(a) The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 included the net gain of $19.4 million from the sale of the Dublin, California facility, partially offset by restructuring costs. The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 includes restructuring costs. (b) The quarter ended June 30, 2021 included a discrete tax charge of $2.7 million related to the remeasurement of the net deferred tax liability in a foreign jurisdiction as a result of a change in tax rate. The six month ended June 30, 2021 also included a discrete tax benefit from the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities related to a favorable U.S. state tax law change.

NOTE: Management believes that adjusted operating income (loss), 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.
