CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 18, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2014.
Fourth Quarter 2014 Operating Highlights from Continuing Operations
Full-Year 2014 Operating Highlights from Continuing Operations
"We were pleased with our fourth quarter results as we continue to drive solid operating margin expansion and free cash flow generation that produced $0.94 in diluted earnings per share and free cash flow conversion of 360%," said David C. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "Our full-year 2014 results reflect robust improvements in operating income, operating margin, diluted EPS and free cash flow, and are a testament to all that we have accomplished under the first year of the 'One Curtiss-Wright' vision. Full-year operating margin of 12.6% represents a one-year increase of more than 300 basis points over 2013 reported results.
"We are delivering on our long-term strategy and have made great strides in our pursuit of upper quartile metrics compared to our peer group. Our operational teams remain intensely focused on driving efficiencies throughout the business, enabling CW to become leaner and more profitable, while also increasing our long-term value to customers and shareholders. As a result, we are forecasting operating margin of 13.3% to 13.4%, diluted EPS of $3.80 to $3.90, and free cash flow of $245 to $265 million in 2015.
"Furthermore, following the Board's re-initiation of our share repurchase program in early 2014 and our commitment to a balanced capital allocation strategy, we returned more than $90 million to our shareholders through consistent share repurchases and dividend distributions in 2014. For 2015, we are actively repurchasing shares under our new buyback program and expect to repurchase at least $200 million this year.
"Overall, we remain dedicated to enhancing shareholder value by improving profitability, generating strong free cash flow and maintaining a balanced capital allocation strategy."
Fourth Quarter 2014 Operating Results from Continuing Operations
| (In thousands) | 4Q-2014 | 4Q-2013 | % Change |
| Sales | $ 572,586 | $ 588,167 | (3%) |
| Operating income | 74,931 | 71,529 | 5% |
| Operating margin | 13.1% | 12.2% | 90 bps |
Sales
Sales of $573 million in the fourth quarter decreased $16 million, or 3%, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower organic growth in the Defense segment, partially offset by gains in the Commercial/Industrial and Energy segments.
From a market perspective, fourth quarter sales to the commercial markets decreased 2% compared to the prior year period, while sales to the defense markets decreased approximately 5%. Please refer to the table on page 10 for a full breakdown of sales by end market.
Operating Income
Operating income in the fourth quarter was $75 million, an increase of 5% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by solid organic growth (excluding effects of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures) in the Commercial/Industrial and Energy segments and reduced corporate expenses.
Operating margin was 13.1%, an increase of 90 basis points over the prior year period reflecting higher operating income in the Commercial/Industrial and Energy segments. Our results continue to reflect the ongoing margin improvement initiatives benefiting each of our segments, which included lower corporate costs resulting primarily from our organizational realignment.
Non-segment operating expense
Non-segment costs were lower by $8 million as compared with the prior year period, primarily due to lower pension costs and other corporate expenses in the current quarter.
Net Earnings
Fourth quarter net earnings increased 3% from the comparable prior year period. Interest expense of approximately $9 million decreased slightly compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower average debt levels. Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was 30.8%, an increase from 28.3% in the prior year period, which had benefitted from favorable adjustments to certain tax valuation allowances and state tax return filing true-ups.
Free Cash Flow
| (In thousands) | 4Q-2014 | 4Q-2013 |
| Net cash generated from operating activities | $ 178,593 | $ 103,441 |
| Capital expenditures | (12,635) | (14,366) |
| Free cash flow | $ 165,958 | $ 89,075 |
Free cash flow was $166 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $89 million in the prior year period, or an increase of approximately $77 million. Net cash generated from operating activities increased by $75 million from the prior year period primarily due improvements in working capital as it relates to cash collections and the timing of vendor payments. Capital expenditures of $13 million were more than $1 million lower than the prior year period. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.
Other Items – Update on Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its upstream oil and gas business (Cimarron) for $100 million in cash.
In addition, during the first quarter of 2015, the Company completed the sale of its aviation ground support equipment business (Douglas) serving the commercial aerospace market for approximately $5 million in cash.
Other Items – Share Repurchase
The Company repurchased approximately 301,000 and 975,500 shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter and year-to-date periods, for approximately $21 million and $65 million, respectively.
Beginning in January 2015, the Company began to repurchase shares under its previously announced $200 million share repurchase program, which it expects to complete by year-end.
Other Items – Segment Realignment
As a result of the previously announced discontinued operations, the Corporation is realigning certain segments and businesses, as follows:

*Adjusted free cash flow excludes the aforementioned pension contribution of $145 million.
Fourth Quarter 2014 Segment Performance
Commercial/Industrial
| (In thousands) | 4Q-2014 | 4Q-2013 | % Change |
| Sales | $ 265,462 | $ 254,590 | 4% |
| Operating income | 35,743 | 28,992 | 23% |
| Operating margin | 13.5% | 11.4% | 210 bps |
Sales for the fourth quarter were approximately $265 million, an increase of $11 million, or 4%, over the comparable prior year period. Within the commercial aerospace market, higher sales were driven by the ramp up in OEM production rates, particularly on the Boeing 737 and 787 programs, as well as solid demand for our sensors and controls products. Higher industrial valve sales to the naval defense market were partially offset by lower sales of shot peening and engineered coatings services to the automotive industry within the general industrial market. The 2014 acquisition of CCRS contributed approximately $3 million to sales in the current quarter, primarily related to coating and repair services for industrial gas turbines in the power generation market, which was offset by $3 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Operating income in the fourth quarter was $36 million, an increase of $7 million, or 23%, from the comparable prior year period, while operating margin increased 210 basis points to 13.5%. The improvement in operating income and operating margin was driven by higher sales volumes related to industrial valve products, surface treatment services and industrial vehicle products, as well as improved profitability resulting from our ongoing margin improvement initiatives.
Defense
| (In thousands) | 4Q-2014 | 4Q-2013 | % Change |
| Sales | $ 199,658 | $ 232,877 | (14%) |
| Operating income | 28,757 | 44,890 | (36%) |
| Operating margin | 14.4% | 19.3% | (490 bps) |
Sales for the fourth quarter were approximately $200 million, a decrease of $33 million, or 14%, over the comparable prior year period. Within the defense markets, we experienced lower naval sales, primarily due to decreased production on the Ford-class aircraft carrier and DDG-51 destroyer programs, which more than offset higher sales of pumps and generators supporting the Virginia-class submarine program. Within the power generation market, our results primarily reflect lower revenues on the domestic and China AP1000 programs compared to the prior year period. We also experienced lower quarter-over-quarter revenues related to the licensing of certain non-strategic products within the commercial aerospace market.
Operating income in the fourth quarter was $29 million, a decrease of approximately $16 million, or 36%, compared to the prior year period, while operating margin declined 490 basis points to 14.4%. Our results were primarily impacted by an increase in costs on the AP1000 program as well as the reduced benefit of product licensing agreements. Those decreases were partially offset by the benefits of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives.
Energy
| (In thousands) | 4Q-2014 | 4Q-2013 | % Change |
| Sales | $ 107,466 | $ 100,700 | 7% |
| Operating income | 16,343 | 11,621 | 41% |
| Operating margin | 15.2% | 11.5% | 370 bps |
Sales for the fourth quarter were approximately $107 million, an increase of approximately $7 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year period. In the oil and gas market, higher sales were driven by strong global aftermarket demand for severe-service industrial and pressure relief valves. Within the power generation market, we experienced lower aftermarket sales supporting domestic nuclear operating reactors, as a result of ongoing deferred spending on maintenance and upgrades, which more than offset higher sales supporting international reactors.
Operating income in the fourth quarter was $16 million, a 41% increase from the comparable prior year period, while operating margin increased 370 basis points to 15.2%. This improvement in operating income and operating margin was primarily driven by higher sales volumes for severe-service valves in the oil and gas market as well as the benefit of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives.
Conference Call Information
The Company will host a conference call to discuss the fourth quarter and full-year 2014 financial results and expectations for 2015 guidance at 9:00 a.m. EST on Thursday, February 19, 2015. 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.
