Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) today reported second quarter 2025 results including net sales of $490 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.50 per share.

Chairman, CEO and President Tom Gentile said, “Hexcel delivered sales and adjusted EPS in line with expectations for the second quarter of 2025, based on modest sequential growth in three of our four major commercial aerospace programs, with the exception being softness in the Airbus A350 as expected and previously communicated due to production rate decreases announced by Airbus and destocking of excess inventory in the supply chain. There was continued growth in the Other Commercial Aerospace market, and we were pleased to see Defense, Space and Other providing robust growth yet again with a high single digit step-up over the second quarter of 2024. Overall production levels and reduced capacity utilization, along with actions to reduce inventory meant gross margin remained subdued. The opportunity for significant margin leverage and cash flow generation remains strong, and we are encouraged by the more positive tones and progress conveyed by the commercial airframe and engine OEM’s in recent months.”

Mr. Gentile continued, “We also completed the previously announced closure of our Welkenraedt, Belgium facility resulting in restructuring charges of $24.2 million. Combined with the announced strategic review of our Neumarkt, Austria facility, and our recent divestiture of our US additive printing business, we continue to streamline our operations and focus on upcoming aircraft production rate ramps. Hexcel also participated in the Paris Air Show last month where we reinforced existing relationships, announced some new relationships, and highlighted recent advances with our innovative technology. We forecast a compelling growth trajectory for the business as production rates on all commercial and military programs continue to increase. Based on this confidence, we continued to repurchase stock with another $50 million of repurchases executed in the second quarter. We have repurchased stock in five of the past six quarters and have now repurchased almost six percent of the shares outstanding since the beginning of 2024.”

Markets

Sales in the second quarter of 2025 were $489.9 million compared to $500.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. Beginning with the first quarter of 2025, sales are being reported for two markets, including Commercial Aerospace, unchanged from past practice, and Defense, Space & Other, which combines the previous Space & Defense market and Industrial market. Prior period sales amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

Commercial Aerospace

  • Commercial Aerospace sales of $293.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 decreased 8.6% (8.9% in constant currency) compared to the second quarter of 2024. Sales decreased year over year for each of the four major programs including the Airbus A350 and A320neo and the Boeing 787 and 737 MAX. Other Commercial Aerospace increased 5.1% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

Defense, Space & Other

  • Defense, Space & Other sales of $196.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 increased 9.5% (7.6% in constant currency) for the quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2024. Growth was driven by Sikorsky CH-53K, two international fighter programs and space programs including launchers, rocket motors and satellites.

Consolidated Operations

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 22.8% compared to 25.3% in the second quarter of 2024 as lower sales and inventory reduction actions drove unfavorable cost leverage. We are also now beginning to feel the impact of tariffs. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were 8.8% compared to 8.0% for the second quarter of 2024. R&T expenses as a percentage of sales were 2.9% in the second quarter of 2025, unchanged from the comparable prior year period. Adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2025 was $54.2 million or 11.1% of sales, compared to $72.0 million, or 14.4% of sales in the second quarter of 2024. Other operating expense in the second quarter of 2025 included restructuring charges of $24.2 million related to the previously announced closure of the Welkenraedt, Belgium facility, which is reported within the Engineered Products segment. The impact of exchange rates on operating income as a percent of sales was favorable by approximately 10 basis points in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

Year-to-Date 2025 Results

Sales for the first six months of 2025 were $946.4 million compared to $972.7 million, a 2.7% decrease from the same period in 2024.

Commercial Aerospace (61% of YTD sales)

  • Commercial Aerospace sales of $573.2 million decreased 7.5% (7.7% in constant currency) for the first six months of 2025 compared to the first six months of 2024 as sales to all four major programs were lower, led by the 787 and A350. Other Commercial Aerospace increased 6.0% for the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Defense, Space & Other (39% of YTD sales)

  • Defense, Space & Other sales of $373.2 million increased 5.8% (5.2% in constant currency) for the first six months of 2025 as compared to the first six months of 2024. Growth was broad based including military helicopters, fighters and space programs.

Consolidated Operations

Gross margin for the first six months of 2025 was 22.6% compared to 25.2% in the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2025 were 9.1%, unchanged from the comparable prior year period. R&T expenses as a percentage of sales were 3.0% in the first six months of 2025 compared to 3.1% in the first six months of 2024. Adjusted operating income for the first six months of 2025 was $99.5 million or 10.5% of sales, compared to $126.1 million or 13.0% of sales in 2024. Other operating expense for the first six months of 2025 included restructuring charges of $25.3 million related to the previously announced closure of the Belgium facility and the divestiture of the Hartford, Connecticut business. Other operating expense of $1.4 million for the first six months of 2024 included restructuring costs. The impact of exchange rates on operating income as a percent of sales was favorable by approximately 30 basis points in the first six months of 2025 compared to the first six months of 2024.

Cash and other

  • Net cash used for operating activities in the first six months of 2025 was $5.2 million, compared to net cash provided of $37.2 million for the first six months of 2024. Working capital was a cash use of $124.5 million for the first six months of 2025 and a use of $118.3 million for the comparable period in 2024. Capital expenditures on a cash basis were $41.4 million for the first six months of 2025. For the first six months of 2024, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $51.6 million. Free cash flow was ($46.6) million in the first six months of 2025 compared to ($14.4) million in the first six months of 2024. Free cash flow is defined as cash generated from operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures on an accrual basis were $31.8 million and $41.1 million for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
  • The Company used $50.5 million to repurchase shares of its common stock during the second quarter of 2025 and $100.9 million during the first six months of 2025. The aggregate remaining authorization under the share repurchase program as of June 30, 2025 was approximately $134 million.
  • As announced today, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share payable to stockholders of record as of August 8, 2025, with a payment date of August 15, 2025.

2025 Guidance (Unchanged – tariff impact not included)

  • Sales of $1.88 billion to $1.95 billion
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.85 to $2.05
  • Free cash flow of approximately $190 million
  • Capital expenditures less than $90 million
  • Effective tax rate of 21.0%, excluding discrete tax items and subject to final review of the OBBB (One Big Beautiful Bill)

To assist in the analysis of the Company’s net sales trend, total net sales and sales by market for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 have been estimated using the same U.S. dollar, British pound and Euro exchange rates as applied for the respective periods in 2025 and are referred to as “constant currency” sales.

(b)

FX effect is the estimated impact on “as reported” net sales due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 included restructuring charges of $24.2 million related to the closure of the Welkenraedt facility in Belgium. The six months ended June 30, 2025 also included a loss of $1.1 million for the divestiture of the Hartford, Connecticut business. The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 included restructuring costs.

(b)

The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 included a gain of $0.9 million related to a lump-sum pension settlement. The six months ended June 30, 2025 also included debt extinguishment costs.

(c)

The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 included a tax charge of $3.4 million for a valuation allowance related to the closure of the Welkenraedt facility.
NOTE: Management believes that adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share 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.
