STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hexcel Corporation (NYSE:HXL) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2017 results.
Chairman, CEO and President Nick Stanage said, “2017 was a strong year for Hexcel. Our adjusted EPS was in line with expectations and higher than in 2016, with full year sales below our earlier guidance range. Our results reflect disciplined execution to drive operational excellence, new product developments and new process innovations, all of which strengthen our leadership position in the markets we serve. We exceeded our expectations on free cash flow by generating $151 million, which is about 50% above our targeted levels and reflects the beginning of the transition in our business from a period of cash investment to one of cash generation.” Mr. Stanage said, “As we enter 2018, we remain focused on driving increased shareholder value by executing our strategic priorities to partner with our customers on next-generation solutions to position the company for sustained long-term growth and robust cash flow generation.”
Fourth Quarter Results
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2017 were a record $511.7 million, an increase of 5.8% (4.1% in constant currency) over the fourth quarter of 2016, with adjusted diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2017 increasing 9.4% year-over-year to $0.70.
Commercial Aerospace
- Commercial Aerospace sales of $361.1 million increased 3.2% (2.2% in constant currency) for the fourth quarter of 2017 as compared to the prior year period. Sales growth of narrowbody aircraft more than offset reductions in some widebody aircraft sales.
- Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace,” (accounts for about 11% of our Commercial Aerospace sales), which includes regional and business aircraft customers, were up about 6.5% for the fourth quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016.
Space & Defense
- Space & Defense sales of $96.4 million increased 21.9% (19.6% in constant currency) for the quarter as compared to the soft fourth quarter of 2016. Rotorcraft sales, which comprise around half of Space & Defense sales, contributed significantly to the improvement.
Industrial
- Total Industrial sales of $54.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 decreased 0.6% (6.2% lower in constant currency) as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Wind energy sales (the largest submarket in Industrial) experienced a challenging transition year in 2017, and were down more than 20% in the fourth quarter of 2017 as compared to the prior year period.
Consolidated Operations
- Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2017 was 27.8% compared to 28.0% in the fourth quarter of 2016, reflecting strong underlying performance while being impacted by start up costs related to our new manufacturing operations in France.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter were slightly lower than the prior year period, as the Company continued to focus on controlling cost and driving productivity.
- Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2017 was $93.2 million, or 18.2% of sales, compared to $87.0 million, or 18.0% of sales, in 2016. Exchange rates unfavorably impacted the fourth quarter of 2017 by about 10 basis points compared to 2016.
Full Year 2017 Results
Full year 2017 sales were $1,973.3 million, a decline of 1.5% (-1.6% in constant currency) as compared to 2016. However, adjusted diluted EPS increased 3.9% to $2.68.
Commercial Aerospace (72% of 2017 sales)
- Commercial Aerospace sales of $1,409.8 million declined 1.4% (-1.5% in constant currency) as compared to 2016.
- Sales to “Other Commercial Aerospace” were down approximately 4.2% in 2017, driven by business jet sales.
Space & Defense (17% of 2017 sales)
- Space & Defense sales of $343.7 million increased 6.8% (6.9% in constant currency) as compared to 2016. The increase was driven largely by strong sales for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, V-22 Osprey and Black Hawk helicopter programs.
Industrial (11% of 2017 sales)
- Total Industrial sales of $219.8 million decreased 13.2% (-13.3% in constant currency) as compared to 2016. Wind energy sales, the largest submarket, were down just over 30% in 2017 as compared to the prior year.
Consolidated Operations
- Gross margin for 2017 was 28.0% compared to 28.2% for 2016, reflecting strong operating performance across the company while offsetting about $10 million in costs related to the startup and training for the greenfield sites in France (ongoing) and Morocco (completed in Q3).
- Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 3.7% in 2017 (3% lower in constant currency) compared to the prior year as we maintained tight control over discretionary spending. Research and technology expenses increased 5.5% in 2017 (6% in constant currency) as we continued to invest in innovative new composite products and solutions to support customers and next-generation programs.
- Adjusted operating income of $350.6 million in 2017 declined 2.6% as compared to 2016. Adjusted operating income margin was 17.8% of sales in 2017 compared to 18.0% in 2016. The 2017 margin was favorably impacted from exchange rates by about 40 basis points as compared to 2016. For 2017, depreciation and amortization expense increased by about $11 million over 2016 in constant currency.
Cash and Other
- The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2017 was minus 2.0% compared to 27.9% in the fourth quarter of 2016, and the effective tax rate for full year 2017 was 13.2% compared to 26.8% in 2016.
The fourth quarter was significantly impacted by adjustments made in relation to the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. These adjustments resulted in a net benefit to the fourth quarter tax provision of $22.1 million (a positive impact of $0.24 on our GAAP EPS). The impact was primarily comprised of a revaluation benefit of our deferred tax liabilities worth approximately $70 million, offset by a charge for the repatriation transition tax of approximately $50 million, plus some other adjustments. We believe that most of the impact of the new tax law for Hexcel has been taken in the fourth quarter of 2017, but there could be true-ups and further adjustments in the coming quarters as the relevant authorities continue to provide guidance to help taxpayers understand the impact of the new tax law.
The fourth quarter also included other tax benefits, including deductions associated with share-based compensation payments as well as a non-recurring discrete benefit of $2.3 million ($0.02 per diluted share) from the reversal of provisions for uncertain tax positions. The first nine months of 2017 included an additional $13.3 million of non-recurring discrete benefits. Excluding these non-recurring discrete items and the impact of the new tax law, the effective tax rate for 2017 included in our adjusted net income was 24.8%.
Based on our initial reviews we estimate the effective tax rate (ETR) for 2018 will be about 25%. Our EPS guidance issued in December was based on an ETR of 29%. Our revised 2018 EPS guidance based on a 25% ETR is provided below.
- Free cash flow generated in 2017 was $150.6 million, more than doubling the free cash flow of $73.5 million generated in 2016. Working capital was a source of $20.3 million in 2017 as compared to a $18.6 million use in 2016. The primary driver of the working capital improvement was lower receivables through strong cash collections. Capital expenditures (accrual basis) were $284.4 million in 2017 compared to $320.2 million in 2016. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided from operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures.
- In 2017, the Company used $150.3 million to repurchase shares of its common stock and has $242.5 million remaining under the authorized share repurchase program.
- As announced today, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share payable to stockholders of record as of February 6, 2018, with a payment date of February 13, 2018.
2018 Guidance
- Sales of $2.10 billion to $2.20 billion (unchanged)
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.96 to $3.10 – based on an effective tax rate (ETR) of 25%. (Previously $2.80 - $2.94 based on an ETR of 29%.)
- Free cash flow greater than $230 million (unchanged)
- Accrual basis capital expenditures of $170 million to $190 million (unchanged)

Disclaimer on Forward Looking Statements
This news 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 the startup or ramp-ups of new aircraft programs, the outlook for space & defense revenues and the trend in wind energy and other industrial applications, including whether certain programs might be curtailed or discontinued or customers’ inventory levels reduced); our ability to maintain and improve margins in light of the 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 availability under its credit facilities to cover any shortfalls; and the impact of the above factors on our expectations of all financial results for 2018 and beyond. The loss of, or significant reduction in purchases by Airbus, Boeing, 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, uncertainty regarding the exit of the U.K. from the European Union, unforeseen vulnerability of our network and systems to interruptions or failures and changes in or unexpected issues related to environmental regulations, legal matters, interest rates and tax codes.

NOTE: Management believes that an 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 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.
