Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) today reported third quarter 2021 results including net sales of $334 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.13 per share.

Chairman, CEO and President Nick Stanage said, "We are pleased to report another quarter demonstrating steady and continued growth in sales and earnings which we are confident will extend for many quarters to come. Sales of $334 million are another positive step-up sequentially and year over year with supply chain destocking now largely behind us. Adjusted EPS of 13 cents in the quarter reflects our on-going commitment to deliver productivity improvements through Operational Excellence, our relentless focus on controlling costs following the decisive cost alignment actions taken early in the pandemic and a positive sales mix. We are well positioned and ready to support increasing aircraft build rates in the months and years ahead.”

Mr. Stanage continued, “We are closely monitoring our supply chain and have our global supply chain team focused on managing the continued availability of raw materials through these challenging times. Thanks to our long-term supply contracts and commodity hedging, we did not experience any noticeable cost inflation during the third quarter, yet we remain vigilant. Our balance sheet remains strong as we continue to de-leverage. As a team, we are excited about the aerospace recovery as we prepare for a significant step-up in demand in 2022 and continued growth ahead, supported by the secular adoption of composite lightweighting and Hexcel’s broad and expanding product portfolio, and deep customer relationships.”

Markets

Sales in the third quarter of 2021 were $333.8 million compared to $286.9 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Commercial Aerospace

  • Commercial Aerospace sales of $167.2 million increased 29.8% (also 29.8% in constant currency) for the quarter compared to the third quarter of 2020 on strengthening narrowbody sales.
  • Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,” which include regional and business aircraft, increased 9.4% for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020, led by business jet sales growth.

Space & Defense

  • Space & Defense sales of $110.4 million increased 1.5% (1.4% in constant currency) for the quarter as compared to 2020. F-35, CH-53K, civil helicopters in Europe and unmanned aerial vehicles in the U.S. were areas of strength in the third quarter.

Industrial

  • Total Industrial sales of $56.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 increased 14.0% (11.7% in constant currency) compared to the third quarter of 2020. The automotive and recreation markets both grew strongly year-over-year. Additionally, sales growth was supported by actions to direct carbon fiber capacity to industrial markets.
  • Wind energy sales (the largest submarket in Industrial), experienced a decline of 31.6% in constant currency compared to the third quarter of 2020 as wind energy demand remains subdued and from the cessation of sales in North America.

Consolidated Operations

Gross margin for the third quarter was 19.8% compared to 4.7% in the prior year period due to a favorable sales mix oriented towards carbon fiber combined with the benefits of prior cost reduction actions that reduced the overhead cost base. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative and R&T expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were 12.7% compared to 12.3% for the third quarter of 2020. Other operating expenses included restructuring costs. Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2021 was $23.6 million or 7.1% of sales, compared to an adjusted operating loss of $21.8 million, or (7.6%) of sales in 2020. The impact of exchange rates on operating income as a percent of sales was favorable by approximately one hundred basis points in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 2020.

Year-to-Date 2021 Results

Sales of $964.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 decreased 20.1% (21.1% in constant currency) compared to the same period in 2020.

Commercial Aerospace (49% of YTD sales)

  • Commercial Aerospace sales of $468.5 million decreased 32.6% (33.0% in constant currency) compared to the first nine months of 2020. Sales were higher in the prior year period as the impact of production cuts and destocking due to the pandemic did not begin until the second quarter of 2020.
  • Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,” which include regional and business aircraft customers, decreased 28.6% year to date.

Space & Defense (34% of YTD sales)

  • Space & Defense sales of $329 million were unchanged (0.8% lower in constant currency) compared to the first nine months of 2020.

Industrial (17% of YTD sales)

  • Total Industrial sales of $166.9 million decreased 8.4% (12.4% in constant currency) compared to the first nine months of 2020.
  • For the first nine months of 2021, wind energy sales decreased 40.3% in constant currency compared to last year reflecting lower demand and the cessation of sales in North America.

Consolidated Operations

Gross margin for nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 18.8% compared to 17.3% in the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative and R&T expenses for the first nine months of 2021 increased approximately 4% compared to the prior year period; however, were 18.0% lower than the comparable period in 2019. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $16.0 million and included expense primarily related to severance and restructuring. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $43.6 million and included expenses related to severance and the terminated merger with Woodward, Inc. Adjusted operating income for the first nine months of 2021 was $44.8 million, or 4.6% of sales, compared to $78.1 million, or 6.5% of sales in 2020. The impact of exchange rates on operating income as a percent of sales for the first nine months of 2021 was favorable by approximately forty basis points compared to 2020.

Cash, 2021 Guidance Update and other

  • The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was 38.3% and included a discrete tax charge of $1.3 million primarily related to the remeasurement of the net U.S. state deferred tax liabilities. The tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1.6 million and included a net discrete tax charge of $0.8 million primarily resulting from the revaluation of U.S. and foreign deferred tax liabilities. The tax benefit for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $56.9 million and included a $46.2 million benefit primarily due to the release of a valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction due to a legal entity rationalization and treasury realignment initiative. The tax benefit of $48.7 million for the first nine months of 2020 also included a $2.7 million benefit primarily for the release of reserves of unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax audit settlements. The expected underlying effective tax rate for the remainder of 2021 continues to be 23%.
  • Net cash generated from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $64.2 million, compared to $157.0 million for the comparable period in 2020. Capital expenditures on a cash basis were $15.0 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $47.8 million for the first nine months of 2020. Free cash flow was $49.2 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $109.2 million for the first nine months of 2020. Working capital was a cash use of $46.0 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to a source of $28.7 million for the first nine months of 2020. Free cash flow is defined as cash generated from operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures.
  • Share repurchases are restricted per the second amendment to the Revolver facility that was executed in January 2021. The remaining authorization under the share repurchase program at September 30, 2021 was $217 million. The quarterly dividend remains temporarily suspended. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate capital allocation strategies on at least a quarterly basis.
  • The Company continues to withhold financial guidance due to continuing market uncertainties arising from the global pandemic.

To assist in the analysis of the Company’s net sales trend, total net sales and sales by market for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 have been estimated using the same U.S. dollar, British pound and Euro exchange rates as applied for the respective period in 2021 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.

(a)

 

The quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 included restructuring costs primarily related to severance. The nine months ended September 30, 2021 also included a benefit related to the reduction of a contingent liability. The quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included restructuring costs. The nine months ended September 30, 2020 also included costs related to the terminated merger with Woodward, Inc.

(b)

 

The quarter ended September 30, 2021 included a $1.3 million discrete tax charge related to the remeasurement of net U.S. state deferred tax liabilities. The nine months ended September 30, 2021 included a discrete tax benefit of $3.2 million from the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities related to a favorable U.S. state tax law change and a $2.7 million discrete tax charge related to the remeasurement of the deferred tax liability in a foreign jurisdiction. The tax benefit for the third quarter of 2020 reflects a discrete tax benefit of $46.2 million due to the release of a valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction as a result of a legal entity rationalization and treasury realignment initiative. The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 also included a $2.7 million benefit, primarily for the release of reserves of unrecognized tax benefits, as a result of tax audit settlements in the second quarter of 2020.

NOTE: Management believes that adjusted operating income, 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.
