Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2018 results including fourth quarter net sales of $561.0 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.82 per share.
Chairman, CEO and President Nick Stanage said: “We finished 2018 strongly, as we delivered record sales, earnings and free cash flow. Our markets continue to strengthen in all areas, as underscored by full year sales and adjusted diluted EPS increases of 11% and 14% respectively, reflecting our continued focus on innovation and execution. Importantly, our team delivered productivity and efficiency improvements across the business, which mitigated some of the unexpected headwinds we encountered throughout the year. We generated a record $237 million of free cash flow, an increase of 58% over 2017, further signaling our transition to a strong cash generation cycle. As we look forward, we remain confident in the outlook for Hexcel, and our guidance for 2019 demonstrates continued sales growth, margin expansion and free cash flow generation.”
Fourth Quarter 2018 Results
Sales of $561.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 were 9.6% higher (10.2% in constant currency) than the fourth quarter of 2017.
Commercial Aerospace
- Commercial Aerospace sales of $385.4 million increased 6.7% (7.1% in constant currency) for the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. New generation narrowbody and widebody commercial aircraft programs continued to strengthen with particularly strong growth from the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX where the Company benefited from both increased build rates and higher shipset content.
- Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,” which include regional and business aircraft, increased approximately 7% in constant currency for the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to 2017. The business jet category was the largest growth contributor of the various size classes in this market.
Space & Defense
- Space & Defense sales of $97.7 million increased 1.3% (1.9% in constant currency) for the quarter as compared to 2017. Growth was broad-based across a number of military and civil rotorcraft programs, and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program.
Industrial
- Total Industrial sales of $77.9 million in the fourth quarter were up 43.7% (46.7% in constant currency) compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.
- Wind energy sales (the largest submarket in Industrial) continue to experience substantial growth related to new generation wind turbines as more advanced composite material is adopted for blade production.
Consolidated Operations
- Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 26.8% compared to 27.8% in the prior year period. As previously reported at the end of the second and third quarters, the Company was impacted by headwinds related to acrylonitrile prices, wind energy resin prices and tariffs. Gross margin for the fourth quarter included an increase in depreciation of $4.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 as the Company continues to invest in growth capital.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter were lower than the prior year period primarily as a result of the Company maintaining tight cost controls. R&T costs increased approximately 18% in constant currency as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, as the Company continues to invest in advanced composite technology and innovation. A restructuring charge was taken related to a specific one-time action at a Company plant in Europe to improve operational efficiency and productivity. This charge was reversed out for reported Adjusted operating income discussed below and as reconciled in Table C.
- Adjusted operating income in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $103.5 million, or 18.4% of sales, compared to $93.2 million, or 18.2% of sales, in 2017. The impact of exchange rates in the fourth quarter of 2018 was neutral due to the hedging of foreign exchange exposure.
FY 2018 Results
Full year 2018 sales were $2,189.1 million, an increase of 10.3% in constant currency compared to 2017.
Commercial Aerospace (70% of YTD sales)
- Commercial Aerospace sales for the year of $1,525.0 million increased 8.1% in constant currency compared to 2017. Growth was driven by narrowbody build rate and shipset value increases, and the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 programs.
- Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,” which include regional and business aircraft customers, increased approximately 23% in 2018, driven by higher business jet sales.
Space & Defense (17% of YTD sales)
- Space & Defense sales for the year of $369.9 million increased 6.8% in constant currency compared to 2017. Strong sales across a broad range of rotorcraft programs as well as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter drove the increase, more than offsetting the previously announced Airbus A400M production rate reductions.
Industrial (13% of YTD sales)
- Total Industrial sales for the year of $294.2 million increased 29.3% in constant currency compared to 2017.
- The launch of a number of new wind turbine platforms utilizing the latest generation Hexcel composites led to an increase in wind energy sales of approximately 67% in constant currency compared to 2017. Our key Wind energy customer Vestas has a record backlog.
Consolidated Operations
- Gross margin for the year was 26.5% compared to 28.0% for 2017. Through the Company’s focus on Operational Excellence, previously communicated headwinds were partially mitigated. Those headwinds, which impacted gross margin throughout the year, included higher acrylonitrile costs, an indirect result of higher oil prices, wind energy resin prices and tariffs. The Company also incurred start-up costs for a new PAN and carbon fiber facility in France, which is now aerospace qualified and providing needed additional capacity. Depreciation expense for the year increased $18.6 million over 2017, reflecting continued capital investment for future expected growth.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year were approximately 5% lower in constant currency than the prior year as the Company maintained tight spending control. Research and technology expenses for the year increased approximately 11% in constant currency compared to 2017, reflecting continued investment in innovative composite products and solutions to support customers and next-generation applications.
- Adjusted operating income for 2018 was $378.9 million, or 17.3% of sales, compared to $350.6 million, or 17.8% of sales, in 2017. The year-over-year impact of exchange rates was neutral.
Cash and other
- The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 24.2% compared to minus 2.0% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The fourth quarter of 2017 was favorably impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (tax reform) legislation. The full year effective tax rate for 2018 was 18.8% compared to 13.2% in 2017. The adjusted effective tax rate included in the Company’s adjusted net income for 2018 was 22.0% compared to an adjusted rate of 24.8% for 2017.
- Free cash flow for the year was $237 million compared to $151 million in 2017. Working capital was a cash use of $31.2 million in 2018 as compared to a source of $20.3 million in 2017, primarily reflecting year over year sales growth. Cash used for capital expenditures was $184.1 million in 2018 compared to $278.1 million in 2017. Free cash flow is defined as cash generated from operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures.
- The Company used $75 million to repurchase shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of 2018 and used $358 million for share repurchases in 2018. The remaining authorization under the share repurchase program at December 31, 2018 was $385 million.
- As announced today, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share. The dividend will be payable to stockholders of record as of February 5, 2019, with a payment date of February 12, 2019.
2019 Guidance
Chairman, CEO and President Nick Stanage said: “As I look to 2019, the fundamentals of our business are extremely positive. We are forecasting double digit sales growth driven by strong commercial aerospace programs, continued growth in the F35 Joint Strike Fighter build rate plus another double digit step up in demand for our Wind energy products. The majority of the 2018 headwinds are now behind us, leading to solid incremental margins. This gives us confidence to forecast robust double digit EPS growth and another year of strong free cash flow generation. Demonstrating continued disciplined execution and our focus on Operational Excellence, I am confident that we will deliver our 2019 guidance provided below.”
Guidance is as follows:
- Sales of $2.375 billion to $2.475 billion.
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $3.38 to $3.52.
- Free cash flow greater than $250 million.
- Accrual basis capital expenditures of $170 million to $190 million.
- Underlying effective tax rate is estimated at 24.0%.
Market-Specific
- High single-digit sales growth in Commercial Aerospace.
- Double-digit sales growth in Space & Defense and Industrial.

NOTE: Management believes that adjusted operating incoming, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share, the adjusted tax rate and free cash flow (defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash payments for capital expenditures), which are non-GAAP measures, 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. The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of our non-GAAP guidance to the corresponding GAAP information because the GAAP measures that we exclude from our non-GAAP guidance are difficult to predict and are primarily dependent on future uncertainties.
