August 03, 2022

Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) reports financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights:

  • Reported sales of $609 million, operating income of $98 million, operating margin of 16.1%, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.83;
  • Adjusted operating margin of 16.1%, up 50 basis points;
  • Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.83, up 18%;
  • New orders of $776 million, up 13%, reflecting strong Aerospace & Defense (A&D) market demand, and book-to-bill of 1.27;
  • Backlog of $2.4 billion, up 9% year-to-date;
  • Reported free cash flow (FCF) of $22 million; and
  • Share repurchases of approximately $12 million.

Full-Year 2022 Adjusted Guidance:

  • Full-year 2022 guidance updated to include the acquisition of the Safran aerospace arresting systems business (SAA) that was completed on June 30, 2022; the business is expected to generate partial year sales of approximately $40 million within the Naval & Power segment and also be accretive to full-year Adjusted diluted EPS;
  • Sales increased to new range of 4% to 6% growth (previously 3% to 5%);
  • Adjusted operating income increased to new range of 5% to 7% growth (previously 3% to 6%) to reflect organic improvements and the contribution from SAA;
  • Maintained Adjusted operating margin range of 17.1% to 17.3%, up 10 to 30 basis points compared with the prior year;
  • Adjusted diluted EPS increased by $0.05 to new range of $8.10 to $8.30, up 10% to 13%; and
  • Maintained free cash flow range of $345 to $365 million, reflecting greater than 110% FCF conversion.

"Curtiss-Wright delivered solid second quarter results, as overall sales were in-line with our expectations and our ongoing focus on operational execution enabled us to generate 50 basis points in operating margin expansion. As a result, Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.83 exceeded our expectations in the second quarter," said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "We also experienced strong order activity, as bookings increased 13% year over year, yielding a book-to-bill of 1.27, driven by increased demand in our defense and commercial aerospace markets."

"Looking ahead to the remainder of 2022, although near-term headwinds from ongoing supply chain disruption continue to impact the timing of revenue within our defense markets, we are encouraged by the improving trends in our commercial markets which provides confidence in achieving our full-year outlook. We raised our full-year 2022 guidance for total sales growth to a new range of 4% to 6% to reflect the contribution of the recently completed SAA acquisition, and we continue to anticipate solid organic growth of 3% to 5% in our A&D and Commercial markets. We also expect continued operating margin expansion and double-digit Adjusted diluted EPS growth of 10% to 13%, as we successfully execute on our Pivot to Growth strategy to drive long-term shareholder value.”

Financing of $300 Million in Senior Notes:

  • On July 29, 2022, the Company priced a private placement debt offering of $300 million for senior notes, consisting of $200 million 4.49% notes due 2032 and $100 million 4.64% notes due 2034; The offering is expected to close in the fourth quarter; and
  • Curtiss-Wright maintains a flexible and conservative capital structure, and has significant capacity for acquisitions, returns to shareholders and other corporate needs.

  • Adjusted sales of $609 million were flat compared with the prior year;
  • Total A&D market sales decreased 3%, while total Commercial market sales increased 6%;
  • In our A&D markets, we experienced reduced sales in our defense markets due to ongoing supply chain headwinds principally for defense electronics components and the timing of naval defense revenues, which were partially offset by modest growth in the commercial aerospace market;
  • In our Commercial markets, we experienced solid sales growth within the power & process market, despite the wind down on the China Direct AP1000 program, as well as solid mid-single-digit growth in the general industrial market; and
  • Adjusted operating income of $98 million increased 3%, while Adjusted operating margin increased 50 basis points to 16.1%, principally driven by increased profitability in the Naval & Power segment, as well as the benefits of our ongoing company-wide operational excellence initiatives; These increases were partially offset by unfavorable overhead absorption on lower revenues in our Defense Electronics segment.

  • Adjusted sales of $209 million, up $15 million, or 8%;
  • Higher commercial aerospace market revenue reflected strong demand for actuation and sensors products, as well as surface treatment services, on numerous narrowbody and widebody platforms;
  • Higher general industrial market revenue was driven by increased sales of industrial vehicle products, principally serving off-highway and specialty platforms;
  • Lower aerospace defense market revenue principally reflected reduced sales of actuation and sensors products on various fighter jet programs; and
  • Adjusted operating income was $32 million, up 7% from the prior year, while Adjusted operating margin decreased 10 basis points to 15.6%, as favorable absorption on strong Commercial market sales and the benefits of our ongoing operational excellence initiatives were offset by higher research and development investments.

  • Higher naval defense market revenue primarily reflected increased revenues on the Virginia-class submarine program;
  • Lower commercial aerospace market revenue reflected decreased sales of avionics and flight test equipment on various domestic and international platforms; and
  • Adjusted operating income was $24 million, down 21% from the prior year, while adjusted operating margin decreased 250 basis points to 16.4%, primarily reflecting unfavorable absorption on lower A&D revenues.

Reconciliations of Reported to Adjusted operating results are available in the Appendix.

  • Adjusted sales of $251 million were essentially flat compared with the prior year period;
  • Naval defense market revenue declines primarily reflected lower revenues on the CVN-80 aircraft carrier and Virginia-class submarine programs, partially offset by higher revenues on the CVN-81 aircraft carrier and Columbia-class submarine programs;
  • Higher power & process market revenues reflected strong growth in industrial valve sales in the process market as well as higher nuclear aftermarket revenues supporting the maintenance of existing operating reactors; Those increases were partially offset by the timing of production on the China Direct AP1000 program; and
  • Adjusted operating income was $50 million, up 15% from the prior year, while adjusted operating margin increased 270 basis points to 19.9%, primarily driven by favorable mix in the naval defense and process markets, as well as the benefits of our ongoing operational excellence initiatives.

  • Adjusted free cash flow of $22 million; and
  • Capital expenditures were essentially flat compared with the prior year.

New Orders and Backlog

  • New orders of $776 million increased 13% and generated a strong book-to-bill of 1.27, principally driven by strong demand for naval defense and commercial aerospace products within our A&D markets, and for nuclear aftermarket and process products within our Commercial markets; and
  • Backlog of $2.4 billion, up 9% from December 31, 2021, reflects higher demand in both our A&D and commercial markets.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)

The Corporation supplements its financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial information. Curtiss-Wright believes that these Adjusted (non-GAAP) measures provide investors with improved transparency in order to better measure Curtiss-Wright’s ongoing operating and financial performance and better comparisons of our key financial metrics to our peers. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. Curtiss-Wright encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Reconciliations of “Reported” GAAP amounts to “Adjusted” non-GAAP amounts are furnished within this release.

The following definitions are provided:

Adjusted Sales, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted EPS

These Adjusted financials are defined as Reported Sales, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share under GAAP excluding: (i) the impact of first year purchase accounting costs associated with acquisitions, specifically one-time inventory step-up, backlog amortization, deferred revenue adjustments and transaction costs; (ii) the sale or divestiture of a business or product line; (iii) pension settlement charges; and (iv) significant legal settlements, impairment costs, and costs associated with shareholder activism, as applicable.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion

The Corporation discloses free cash flow because it measures cash flow available for investing and financing activities. Free cash flow represents cash available to repay outstanding debt, invest in the business, acquire businesses, return capital to shareholders and make other strategic investments. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow for 2022 excludes: (i) payments associated with the Westinghouse legal settlement and (ii) executive pension payments. The Corporation discloses adjusted free cash flow conversion because it measures the proportion of net earnings converted into free cash flow and is defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.
