Curtiss-Wright Reports Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results and Updates Full-Year Guidance

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW) reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Divestitures

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company reclassified several non-core businesses across its segments as assets held for sale, including:

• Energy segment - the downstream refining (large projects) and upstream processing businesses serving the oil and gas market;
• Defense segment - an engineered packaging business serving defense markets and an aviation ground support equipment business serving the commercial aerospace market; and
• Commercial/Industrial segment - two surface treatment facilities.

The above resulted in:

• 80 basis point improvement in operating margin
• 120 basis point improvement in Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

All figures presented below, unless stated otherwise, reflect results from continuing operations and exclude the impact of second quarter divestitures and the businesses mentioned above.

Third Quarter 2014 Operating Highlights from Continuing Operations

• Net sales increased 9% to $559 million, from $512 million in 2013;
• Operating income increased 13% to $74 million, from $66 million in 2013;
• Operating margin increased 50 basis points to 13.3%, from 12.8% in 2013;
• Net earnings from continuing operations increased 17% to $44 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, from $38 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, in 2013;
• New orders totaled $590 million, up 17% from 2013, primarily due to higher demand within the aerospace and ground defense markets;
• Backlog grew to approximately $1.74 billion, up 9% from December 31, 2013; and
• Company updates full-year guidance for sales, operating income and diluted EPS, expanding operating margin range to 12.2% - 12.4%.

"We were very pleased with our third quarter results, as we generated solid increases in both organic sales and operating income that well exceeded our expectations," said David C. Adams, President and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "Higher sales volume and the benefit of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives, particularly our recently announced divestitures, contributed to increased profitability as we remain keenly focused on executing our long-term strategy.

"As a result, we raised our operating margin guidance range by 110 basis points and now expect to achieve between 12.2% and 12.4% for full-year 2014, reflecting a one-year increase of 300 basis points over 2013 reported results. This continued progress also resulted in an additional 120 basis point improvement in our Return on Invested Capital in the quarter, yielding a one-year increase of 250 basis points from our 2013 results. Overall, these divestiture actions will position Curtiss-Wright as a less complex, leaner, more focused and more profitable enterprise.

"Finally, as we continue to demonstrate, we remain dedicated to enhancing shareholder value through our focus on expanding operating margins, generating strong free cash flow and maintaining a balanced capital allocation strategy. As a sign of confidence in our strategy, the Board of Directors recently authorized a new $300 million share repurchase program to begin in 2015, part of our ongoing commitment to provide significant distributions to our shareholders."

Third Quarter 2014 Operating Results from Continuing Operations

(In thousands)	3Q-2014	3Q-2013	% Change
Sales	$ 559,494	$ 512,409	9%
Operating income	74,140	65,630	13%
Operating margin	13.3%	12.8%	50 bps

Sales

Sales of $559 million in the third quarter increased $47 million, or 9%, compared to the prior year period, driven by a solid combination of organic growth and acquisitions.

From a market perspective, third quarter sales to the commercial markets were up 8% compared to the prior year period, while sales to the defense markets increased 11%. Refer to the table on page 10 for a full breakdown of sales by end market.

Operating Income

Operating income in the third quarter was $74 million, an increase of 13% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by solid organic growth (excluding effects of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures), most notably in the Commercial/Industrial segment. Acquisitions contributed $3 million to operating income in the current quarter.

Operating margin was 13.3%, an increase of 50 basis points over the prior year period. Our results reflect ongoing margin improvement initiatives across each of our segments, which included lower corporate overhead costs resulting from our organizational realignment.

Non-segment operating expense

Non-segment costs were higher by approximately $4 million as compared with the prior year period, primarily due to higher foreign currency exchange losses in the current quarter.

Net Earnings

Third quarter net earnings increased 17% from the comparable prior year period. Interest expense of approximately $9 million decreased by nearly $1 million compared to the prior year period, due to lower average debt levels and lower average interest rates. Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was 31.8%, essentially flat compared to the prior year period.

Free Cash Flow

(In thousands)	3Q-2014	3Q-2013
Net cash generated from operating activities	$ 68,756	$ 73,585
Capital expenditures	(18,484)	(25,750)
Free cash flow	$ 50,272	$ 47,835

Free cash flow was $50 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $48 million in the prior year period, or an increase of approximately $2 million. Net cash generated from operating activities decreased by $5 million from the prior year period as higher net cash earnings of $17 million were offset by the timing of cash collections. Capital expenditures decreased $7 million to $18 million, as the prior year period included investments in several facility expansions that did not recur. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.

Other Items – Discontinued Operations

As a result of the divestiture actions mentioned on page 1, all of the aforementioned businesses are reflected as discontinued operations, and accordingly have been removed from our prior actual results and future financial guidance. The divestitures resulted in a $0.03 loss to diluted earnings per share, and an after-tax loss on assets held for sale of approximately $13 million, or $0.25 per diluted share in the third quarter, primarily related to its downstream oil and gas and aviation ground support divestitures.

In addition, the Company recorded an after-tax net book loss on the sale of its Vessels business of approximately $5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in the third quarter.

Other Items – Share Repurchase

The Company repurchased approximately 308,000 shares of its common stock during the third quarter at an average price of $67.03 for approximately $21 million. Year-to-date, the Company has repurchased 674,800 shares for approximately $45 million.

Third Quarter 2014 Segment Performance

Commercial/Industrial

(In thousands)	3Q-2014	3Q-2013	% Change
Sales	$ 273,107	$ 240,184	14%
Operating income	40,096	31,145	29%
Operating margin	14.7%	13.0%	170 bps

Sales for the third quarter were approximately $273 million, an increase of $33 million, or 14%, over the comparable prior year period, aided by the contribution from acquisitions and solid 6% organic growth. Acquisitions contributed approximately $17 million to sales in the current quarter, primarily due to the acquisition of Arens Controls serving the general industrial market, while favorable foreign currency translation added approximately $2 million to current quarter sales. Within the commercial aerospace market, we experienced a solid 9% increase in sales, as our business continues to benefit from the ramp up in OEM production rates, particularly on the Boeing 787 program, as well as solid demand for our sensors and controls products. Growth was also driven by higher sales of shot peening and engineered coatings services to the aerospace and general industrial markets. 

Operating income in the third quarter was $40 million, an increase of $9 million, or 29%, from the comparable prior year period, while operating margin increased 170 basis points to 14.7%. We experienced strong organic growth of 23% in operating income, while acquisitions contributed $2 million, or 6%, to operating income in the current quarter. This improvement in operating income and operating margin was driven by higher sales volumes related to industrial vehicle products, surface treatment services and industrial valve products, as well as improved profitability resulting from our ongoing margin improvement initiatives.

Defense

(In thousands)	3Q-2014	3Q-2013	% Change
Sales	$ 182,790	$ 175,728	4%
Operating income	26,974	25,521	6%
Operating margin	14.8%	14.5%	30 bps

Sales for the third quarter were $183 million, an increase of $7 million, or 4%, over the comparable prior year period, as strong growth in the defense markets of 11% was offset by lower sales to the power generation market. Within the defense markets, we experienced strong aerospace sales, primarily due to higher demand on helicopter programs, as well as solid naval sales driven by increased production of pumps and generators on the Virginia-class submarine program. In addition, the Parvus acquisition contributed approximately $6 million to sales in the current quarter, primarily to the aerospace and ground defense markets. Meanwhile, within the power generation market, our results reflect lower revenues on the domestic and China AP1000 programs compared to the prior year period.  

Operating income in the third quarter was $27 million, an increase of approximately $1 million, or 6%, compared to the prior year period, while operating margin increased 30 basis points to 14.8%. Acquisitions contributed $1 million of operating income to the current year quarter.  Higher operating margin was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in our embedded computing business serving the defense market, as well as the benefits of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives. Those increases were partially offset by an increase in costs on the AP1000 program in the current period.  

Energy

(In thousands)	3Q-2014	3Q-2013	% Change
Sales	$ 103,597	$ 96,497	7%
Operating income	17,491	15,102	16%
Operating margin	16.9%	15.7%	120 bps

Sales for the third quarter were approximately $104 million, an increase of approximately $7 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year period. Higher sales to the oil and gas market were driven by strong global aftermarket demand for severe-service industrial and pressure relief valves. Within the power generation market, we experienced lower domestic aftermarket sales supporting existing nuclear reactors, as lower demand and increased regulatory requirements have led to deferred spending on maintenance and upgrades.

Operating income in the third quarter was $17 million, a 16% increase from the comparable prior year period, while operating margin increased 120 basis points to 16.9%. This improvement in operating income and operating margin was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in the oil and gas market as well as the benefit of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives.  This growth was partially offset by lower profitability in the power generation market due to the aforementioned slower sales.

Conference Call Information

The Company will host a conference call to discuss the third quarter 2014 results and guidance at 9:00 a.m. EDT on Thursday, October 30, 2014. A live webcast of the call and the accompanying financial presentation will be made available on the internet by visiting the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.curtisswright.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Corporation supplements our financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial information. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the company's ongoing business performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. The following definitions are provided:

Organic Revenue and Organic Operating income              

The Corporation discloses organic revenue and organic operating income because the Corporation believes it provides investors with insight as to the Company's ongoing business performance.  Organic revenue and organic operating income are defined as revenue and operating income excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and contributions from acquisitions made during the last twelve months.

Free Cash Flow

The Corporation discloses free cash flow because the Corporation believes it measures cash flow available for investing and financing activities. Free cash flow is defined as net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow represents cash generated after paying for interest on borrowings, income taxes, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements, but before repaying outstanding debt and investing cash or utilizing debt credit lines to acquire businesses and make other strategic investments.
