Hexcel Corporation (NYSE:HXL), today reported results for the
third quarter of 2012. Net sales during the quarter were $391.6
million, 11.3% higher than the $351.8 million reported for the
third quarter of 2011. Operating income for the period was $60.0
million, compared to $46.0 million last year, while net income for
the third quarter of 2012 was $39.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted
share, compared to $32.2 million or $0.32 per diluted share in
2011. Excluding the impact of items in Table C, adjusted diluted
net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $0.39 per share
compared to $0.34 per share in 2011.
Chief Executive Officer
Comments
Mr. Berges commented, “Hexcel’s results continue to be strong,
as solid execution and increased sales combined to yield another
quarter with excellent performance. For the quarter, adjusted
operating income grew 23% over the same period last year on 13%
constant currency revenue growth, resulting in a 150 basis point
improvement in operating margins.”
Looking ahead, Mr. Berges said, “As we expect continued year
over year sales growth and operational performance, we are
increasing our 2012 guidance for adjusted diluted EPS to $1.54 to
$1.59 (from $1.45 to $1.55). We are also narrowing the sales range
to $1.56 billion to $1.59 billion (from $1.55 billion to $1.65
billion). Additionally, we have revised our capital spending plan
to incorporate recent yield and productivity improvements, reduced
cycle time to replicate and qualify new lines, and our latest
demand model. We are lowering our 2012 accrued capital expenditure
guidance to $230 million to $250 million (from $250 million to $275
million) and expect 2013 to be around $200 million.”
Markets
Commercial Aerospace
- Commercial Aerospace sales of $234.1
million increased 12.9% (13.6% in constant currency) for the
quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2011. Revenues
attributed to new aircraft programs (A380, A350, B787, B747-8)
increased more than 30% versus the same period last year and
comprise about 30% of Commercial Aerospace sales. Sales for Airbus
and Boeing legacy aircraft comprise more than half of commercial
aerospace sales and were up about 9% compared to the third quarter
of 2011.
- Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,”
which include regional and business aircraft customers, were about
the same as the third quarter of 2011, though about 10% lower than
first half levels.
Space & Defense
- Space & Defense sales of $90.6
million were 12.0% higher (14.4% in constant currency) than the
third quarter of 2011. We continue to benefit from civil and
military rotorcraft growth across all regions.
Industrial
- Total Industrial sales of $66.9 million
for the third quarter of 2012 were 5.4% higher (11.5% in constant
currency) than the third quarter of 2011. Sales to wind turbine
manufacturers were up significantly from last year’s third quarter,
but were down almost 20% versus the second quarter of 2012, as we
begin to see the impact of a U.S. slowdown. Third quarter sales
from our U.S. wind facility were less than 30% of our global wind
sales.
Tax
- The tax provision was $18.0 million for
the third quarter of 2012, an effective tax rate of 31.1%,
reflecting the reduction in our year to date rate to 31.6%. Last
year’s third quarter tax provision was $12.0 million, an effective
tax rate of 27.4%, as last year benefited from a release of $1.0
million of reserves for uncertain tax positions and a reduction in
our estimated tax rate for 2011 to 31%.
Cash and other
- Free cash flow (defined as cash
provided from operating activities less cash paid for capital
expenditures) for the first nine months of 2012 was a use of $58.4
million versus a source of $11.5 million in the first nine months
of 2011, reflecting increased capital expenditures partially offset
by $48.6 million increase in adjusted EBITDA (see Table C) for the
comparable period. Cash paid for capital expenditures was $208.9
million in the first nine months of 2012 compared to $99.5 million
in the first nine months of 2011. Accrued capital expenditures were
$174.7 million for the first nine months of 2012.
- Total debt, net of cash as of September
30, 2012 was $253.2 million, a decrease of $14.1 million from June
30, 2012.
- Foreign exchange rates contributed
about 30 basis points to the higher operating income percentage in
the third quarter of 2012 as compared to 2011.
2012 Outlook
We have updated our 2012 outlook:
- Sales to be in the range of $1.56
billion to $1.59 billion (previously the range was $1.55 billion to
$1.65 billion). The strengthening of the dollar against the Euro
and the GBP results in a reduction of our reported sales. At
today’s exchange rates, our reported sales for the full year will
be $35 million to $40 million less than at the rates forecasted at
the beginning of the year.
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share to
be in the range of $1.54 to $1.59 (versus prior guidance of $1.45
to $1.55).
- Accrual basis capital expenditures to
be in the range of $230 million to $250 million (versus prior
guidance of $250 million to $275 million). We expect our capital
spending to be funded by our cash from operating activities and our
existing credit facilities. We expect free cash flow for the year
to be a use of cash in the range of $40 million to $60 million
(improved from a use of $50 million to $75 million in prior
guidance).

Disclaimer on Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains statements that are forward looking,
including statements relating to anticipated trends in constant
currency for the market segments we serve (including changes in
commercial aerospace revenues, the estimates and expectations based
on aircraft production rates made publicly available by Airbus and
Boeing, 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 changes in product
mix, efficiency improvements, continued cost reduction efforts and
the current economic environment; outcome of legal matters; the
magnitude and timing of capital expenditures in relation to market
demand; and the impact of the above factors on our expectations of
2012 financial results. 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 changing market
conditions, increased raw material costs, competition, product mix,
inability to achieve planned manufacturing improvements and cost
reductions, supply chain disruptions, conditions in the financial
markets and changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates,
governmental and environmental regulations 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.

(b) Non-operating expense is the accelerated amortization of
deferred financing costs and expensing of the call premium from
redeeming $73.5 million in June 2012 and $150 million in February
2011 of the Company’s 6.75% senior subordinated notes.
(c) Tax benefit from the release of $5.5 million of reserves
primarily for uncertain tax positions as a result of an audit
settlement.
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.
