Chief Executive Officer Comments

Mr. Berges commented, “This was another strong quarter for Hexcel, as solid execution combined with increased sales to yield excellent results. For the quarter, our adjusted diluted EPS of $0.48 was 14% higher than last year on a 5% increase in constant currency sales. We are also particularly pleased that our adjusted operating income was 17.0% of net sales for the quarter, 90 basis points better than last year. This quarter also marked the first flight of the A350 XWB the newest Airbus offering with over 50% composite structure. The A350 XWB will be a key contributor to Hexcel’s future and involves shipments to over 40 customers in 14 different countries.”

Looking ahead, Mr. Berges said, “Assuming the scheduled ramp-up of the Boeing 787 is sustained, we expect aerospace sales (both Commercial Aerospace and Space & Defense) to continue their steady growth trend. Though seasonal effects typically result in slightly lower margins in the second half, and our industrial markets remain challenged, strong operational performance allows us to reaffirm our 2013 earnings guidance.”

Markets

Commercial Aerospace

  • Commercial Aerospace sales of $270.0 million increased 15.6% (15.1% in constant currency) for the quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2012. Combined revenues attributed to new aircraft programs (A380, A350, B787, B747-8) increased over 20% versus the same period last year and comprise over 30% of Commercial Aerospace sales.

  • Sales for Airbus and Boeing legacy aircraft were up over 10% compared to the second quarter of 2012, and were just lower than the first quarter of 2013.

  • Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,” which include regional and business aircraft customers, were down about 5% compared to the same period last year.

Space & Defense

  • Space & Defense sales of $96.7 million were 9.8% higher (9.3% in constant currency) than the second quarter of 2012. Growth was again led by rotorcraft, which accounted for nearly 60% of Space & Defense sales for the quarter.

Industrial

  • Total Industrial sales of $55.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 were 28.0% lower (28.8% in constant currency) than the second quarter of 2012, but up sequentially versus the first quarter of 2013. As expected, wind sales were down over 35% from the record level in the second quarter of 2012.

Tax

  • The tax provision was $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2013 resulting in an effective tax rate of 30%. Last year’s second quarter tax provision was $22.1 million, an effective tax rate of 31.7%. We expect our effective tax rate for the rest of the year to be about 30.5%.

2

Cash and other

  • As previously announced, in June 2013, we entered into a new $600 million senior secured revolving credit facility which matures in June 2018. The new facility replaces the Company’s previous senior secured facility ($82.5 million term loan and $360 million revolving loan) that would have expired in July 2015. The new loan has an initial rate 50 basis points less than the previous facility, and at our current leverage ratio will decrease an additional 25 basis points after September 30, 2013. As a result of the refinancing, the Company accelerated certain unamortized financing costs of the credit facility being replaced and the deferred expense on related interest rate swaps and incurred a pretax charge of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2013.

  • Free cash flow (defined as cash provided from operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures) for the first half of 2013 was a source of $16.2 million versus a use of $70.6 million in the first half of 2012, reflecting lower capital expenditures and better working capital usage.

  • During the quarter, the Company invested $35 million and completed its $50 million authorized share repurchase program. Total shares bought back under the program were 1,573,588 shares. On July 22, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $150 million of the Company’s common stock. Under the program, the Company may purchase its common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchases will be funded from cash from operating activities and, if needed, the existing credit facilities. The amount and timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors including the price and availability of shares of common stock, trading volume and general market conditions.

  • Total debt, net of cash as of June 30, 2013 was $257.3 million, an increase of $33.3 million from December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, our available borrowing capacity was $288.4 million.

2013 Outlook

We now expect free cash flow for the year to be in the range of $40 million to $80 million (previously it was $20 million to $60 million).

We reaffirm the rest of our 2013 outlook:

  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.73 to $1.83

  • Our sales outlook is $1,640 million to $1,740 million with strong aerospace markets offsetting the weakness in the industrial market


Hexcel will host a conference call at 10:00 A.M. ET, tomorrow, July 23, 2013 to discuss the second quarter results and respond to analyst questions. The telephone number for the conference call is (719) 325-2469 and the confirmation code is 9152997. The call will be simultaneously hosted on Hexcel’s web site at www.hexcel.com/investors/index.html. Replays of the call will be available on the web site for approximately three days.

Disclaimer on Forward Looking Statements

3

This press release contains statements that are forward looking, including statements relating to anticipated trends in constant currency for the markets we serve (including changes in commercial aerospace revenues, the estimates and expectations based on aircraft production rates provided or publicly available by Airbus, Boeing and others, the revenues we may generate from an aircraft model or program, the impact of delays in new aircraft programs, the outlook for space & defense revenues and the trend in wind energy, recreation and other industrial applications); our ability to maintain and improve margins in light of the current economic environment; the success of particular applications as well as the general overall economy; our ability to manage cash from operating activities and capital spending in relation to future sales levels such that the company funds its capital spending plans from cash flows from operating activities, but, if necessary, maintains adequate borrowings under its credit facilities to cover any shortfalls; and the impact of the above factors on our expectations of financial results for 2013 and beyond. The loss of, or significant reduction in purchases by, Boeing, EADS, Vestas, or any of our other significant customers could materially impair our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward looking statements due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to changes in currency exchange rates, changing market conditions, increased competition, inability to install, staff and qualify necessary capacity or achievement of planned manufacturing improvements, conditions in the financial markets, product mix, achieving expected pricing and manufacturing costs, availability and cost of raw materials, supply chain disruptions, work stoppages or other labor disruptions and changes in or unexpected issues related to environmental regulations, legal matters, interest expense and tax codes. Additional risk factors are described in our filings with the SEC. We do not undertake an obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect future events.

(a) Other operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 includes income from a $9.6 million business interruption insurance settlement related to a prior year claim, a $4.9 million gain on the sale of land and a $5.0 million charge for additional environmental reserves primarily for remediation of a manufacturing facility sold in 1986.

(b) Non-operating expense is the accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs and the deferred expense on interest rate swaps related to repaying the term loan and refinancing our revolving credit facility in June 2013. Non-operating expense in 2012 is the accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs and expensing of the call premium from redeeming $73.5 million in June 2012 of the Company’s 6.75% senior subordinated notes.

Management believes that adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income 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.
