News Details

CURTISS-WRIGHT REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND REAFFIRMS FULL-YEAR 2023 GUIDANCE

May 03, 2023

Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) reports financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

first quarter 2023 highlights:

  • Reported and Adjusted sales of $631 million, up 13% year-over-year;
  • Reported operating income of $79 million, operating margin of 12.5%, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.48;
  • Adjusted operating income of $81 million, up 15%;
  • Adjusted operating margin of 12.9%, up 20 basis points;
  • Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.53, up 17%; and
  • New orders of $718 million, up 13%, reflected strong demand within our Aerospace & Defense (A&D) and Commercial markets, and a book-to-bill that exceeded 1.1x.

"Curtiss-Wright delivered strong first quarter 2023 results, highlighted by double-digit growth in new orders, sales, operating income and diluted EPS," said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "Higher sales in each of our end markets and our continued drive for commercial excellence enabled us to generate 20 basis points in operating margin expansion and achieve 17% growth in Adjusted diluted EPS. Sales in our Aerospace & Defense markets increased 13% during the quarter reflecting some stabilization within the defense electronics supply chain and another solid quarter for our engineered arresting systems business, while sales in our Commercial markets increased 12%, as we continue to benefit from strong demand in our commercial nuclear, process and general industrial markets."

“We are maintaining our full-year 2023 outlook and anticipate steady, sequential improvement in sales, operating margin, diluted EPS and free cash flow as we move through the year. Overall, we continue to successfully execute on our Pivot to Growth strategy, which will enable us to deliver significant long-term value for our stakeholders.”

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

  • Sales of $631 million, up $71 million, or 13% compared with the prior year, and included a $5 million or 1% headwind from unfavorable foreign currency translation, mainly within our Aerospace & Industrial segment;
  • Total A&D market sales increased 13%, while total Commercial market sales increased 12%;
  • In our A&D markets, our results reflected strong sales growth in our defense markets driven by some moderate easing of defense electronics supply chain headwinds, particularly in ground defense, and the contribution from the acquisition of our engineered arresting systems business, as well as strong mid-teens sales growth in the commercial aerospace market;
  • In our Commercial markets, we experienced strong growth in the power & process markets and higher sales in the general industrial market; and
  • Adjusted operating income of $81 million increased 15%, while Adjusted operating margin increased 20 basis points to 12.9%, principally driven by favorable overhead absorption on higher revenues in our Aerospace & Industrial and Naval & Power segments. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable mix on higher revenues in the Defense Electronics segment.

  • Sales of $202 million, up $11 million, or 6% overall, and included a $4 million or 2% headwind from unfavorable foreign currency translation;
  • Higher commercial aerospace market revenue reflected strong demand for sensors products and surface treatment services on narrowbody and widebody platforms;
  • Higher general industrial market revenue was principally driven by increased sales of industrial vehicle products serving on- and off-highway platforms, as well as higher sales of surface treatment services;
  • Aerospace defense market revenue declines reflected lower sales of actuation equipment on various fighter jet programs; and
  • Operating income was $27 million, up 7% from the prior year, while operating margin increased 10 basis points to 13.1%, mainly reflecting solid absorption on higher sales.

  • Strong revenue growth in the ground defense market reflected higher sales of tactical battlefield communications equipment; and
  • Operating income was $23 million, essentially flat compared with the prior year, while operating margin decreased 190 basis points to 14.4%, as favorable absorption on higher revenues was offset by unfavorable mix on defense electronics products and higher investment in research and development.

  • Adjusted sales of $266 million, up $41 million, or 18%;
  • Higher aerospace defense market revenues reflected a solid contribution from the arresting systems acquisition, including increased sales to international customers;
  • Naval defense market revenue increases principally reflected higher revenues on the Columbia-class submarine and CVN-81 aircraft carrier programs, partially offset by timing of revenues on the CVN-80 aircraft carrier program;
  • Strong double-digit revenue growth in the power & process market reflected solid growth in nuclear aftermarket revenues supporting the maintenance of existing operating reactors and higher industrial valve sales in the process market; and
  • Adjusted operating income was $41 million, up 24% from the prior year, while adjusted operating margin increased 80 basis points to 15.3%, driven by favorable absorption on higher organic revenues and a solid contribution from the arresting systems acquisition.

A reconciliation of Reported to Adjusted free cash flow is available in the Appendix.

  • Reported free cash flow of ($102) million increased $33 million, primarily due to higher cash earnings and improved working capital in part due to the collection of the remaining $20 million cash payment on the China Direct AP1000 program; Those increases were partially offset by higher tax payments;
  • Adjusted free cash flow of ($92) million increased $20 million; and
  • Capital expenditures were essentially flat compared with the prior year.

new orders and backlog

  • New orders of $718 million increased 13% compared with the prior year and generated an overall book-to-bill that exceeded 1.1x, principally driven by strong demand for defense electronics and actuation products within our A&D markets, and for industrial valve and commercial nuclear products within our Commercial markets; and
  • Backlog of $2.7 billion, up 3% from December 31, 2022, reflects higher demand in both our A&D and Commercial markets.

share repurchase and dividends

  • During the first quarter, the Company repurchased 73,152 shares of its common stock for approximately $12 million; and
  • The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.19 a share.

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 excludes: (i) payments associated with the Westinghouse legal settlement in both the current and prior year periods and (ii) executive pension payments in the prior year period. 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.
