EX-99.1 2 a5386226ex99_1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Hexcel Reports 2007 First Quarter Results STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 2007--Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL): First Quarter 2007 Highlights -- Sales from continuing operations of $328.7 million up $27.5 million or 9.1% year-on-year (up $19.2 million or 6.2% in constant currency) -- Net income from continuing operations of $16.5 million ($0.17 per diluted share), a 17.9% increase year on year -- Net income from discontinued operations of $7.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, includes an after-tax gain of $6.8 million on the sale of the Company's Architectural business See Statements of Operations and Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures (Table F) for profitability comparisons for the quarter. Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL), today reported results for the first quarter of 2007. Net sales for the quarter were $328.7 million, 9.1% higher than the $301.2 million reported for the first quarter of 2006. Operating income for the first quarter was $33.7 million compared to $29.1 million for the same quarter last year. Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2007 was $16.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share compared to $14.0 million or $0.14 per diluted common share in 2006. Net income was $23.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share compared to $14.5 million or $0.15 per diluted common share in 2006. Net income includes net income from discontinued operations of $7.0 million after reflecting a $6.8 million gain on the sale of Hexcel's architectural business. Chief Executive Officer Comments Mr. Berges commented, "The quarter was a good start to the year for Hexcel despite the significant impact of the A380 delay. Space & Defense revenues rebounded even more strongly than anticipated with revenues up 16.6% (14.6% in constant currency). Commercial Aerospace sales growth was in line with our expectations and reflected solid growth from Boeing and their subcontractors, as well as from sales to regional aircraft, engines and nacelle applications." "We again demonstrated healthy gross margin leverage of 30% from the year over year incremental sales, and expanded operating income despite a $2 million increase in R&T for critical new program qualifications. We still expect our portfolio actions, restructuring program and increased carbon fiber capacity to contribute to good margin expansion this year. "We completed the sale of our Architectural business in France during the quarter and received $25 million in gross cash proceeds. We still target a conclusion on the remaining elements of the portfolio review this quarter." In closing, Mr. Berges noted, "Following our reorganization into a single business we have made changes in the reporting of our operating and market segments. In addition, in response to requests from our investors and analysts, we are providing additional details of the drivers of our segment performance as well as new aircraft program information in this release. We hope this will be useful in understanding both our performance and our prospects." Operating Segments and Markets -- With effect from January 1, 2007, Hexcel has revised its operating segments to reflect its strategic and operational realignment and focus on advanced structural materials. Hexcel has eliminated its three former global business units and consolidated all our composites related activities into a single organization. The reinforcement product lines, for which the Company is exploring its strategic alternatives, including potential divestiture, are being managed as a separate business. Hexcel will now report three operating segments: -- Composite Materials. The development, manufacture and sale of advanced composite materials including carbon fiber, reinforcements for composites, honeycomb and matrix (prepregs and other polymer systems) products. The segment is more capital intensive and typically has long product development and qualification cycles. Operating income margin for the first quarter was 15.4% compared to 15.0% for the same quarter last year. -- Engineered Products. The development and fabrication of finished and semi-finished structures manufactured from composite materials. This segment includes machined and shaped honeycomb core, structural products for helicopter blades and aircraft, finishing operations for products from our Asian joint ventures as well as our new AcoustiCap(TM) noise dampening system and our new HexMC(R) parts product lines. This segment is more labor and inventory intensive. In the near term, we expect an increased level of spending on R&T and tooling in response to the strong market acceptance of our new products in this segment. Operating income margin for the quarter was 9.2%, down from 11.8% last year primarily due to increased R&T spending on qualifications for the Boeing 787. -- EBGI Reinforcements. This segment captures Hexcel's U.S. operations related to its electronics, ballistics and general industrial reinforcement product lines. This business is being reported as a separate segment called EBGI Reinforcements. The segment is characterized by high material content, short term pricing and volume swings. Operating income of 8.1% was up from 3.1% last year due to the effects of restructuring activities and increased sales of ballistic reinforcement fabrics. -- In integrating its business operations, the Company has reclassified certain of its reinforcement for composites product sales between its market segments to reflect improvements in the tracking of sales to market applications. The comparisons of sales by market provided below and in Table A reflect these reclassifications. Details of the revised operating segments and the reclassified sales by market for the calendar years of 2005 and 2006 have been provided in Table B. Details for 2006 by calendar quarter have been posted to the investor news section of Hexcel's web site. Commercial Aerospace -- Commercial aerospace sales grew for the quarter by 5.5% (3.3% in constant currency). The growth during the quarter was led by revenues to Boeing and their subcontractors, reflecting increased aircraft production, growth in demand by aircraft engine and nacelle manufacturers, as well as the new 787. Sales to Boeing commercial aircraft have exceeded sales to Airbus commercial aircraft for both of the last two quarters. -- Sales to the A380 program were at the lowest quarterly level in over two years. As a result, total sales to Airbus and its subcontractors were lower in the first quarter of 2007 than in the first quarter of 2006. The A380 delay is expected to effect year-on-year revenue comparisons for much of 2007. However, we expect other Airbus build rate increases and the start of development materials for the A350 XWB to mitigate the impact. -- The reclassification of certain reinforcement for composite revenues resulted in the movement of about $17 million of commercial aerospace sales to industrial and space & defense markets for first quarter of 2006. This reclassification did not impact our previously reported Airbus and Boeing commercial aircraft sales. The remaining portion of our commercial aerospace sales, which includes sales to regional and business aircraft, represented 25% of the segment and saw mid-teen growth in the quarter. Industrial -- Industrial sales were up 9.9% for the quarter (5.6% constant currency) led by growth in revenues from wind energy applications and increased demand for ballistic reinforcement fabrics used in the production of soft body armor. -- Revenues from the EBGI Reinforcements segment are related to the Industrial market. EBGI sales were 12.7% higher compared to the first quarter of 2006, reflecting the benefit of increased ballistics sales. -- Sales from auto, recreation and other industrial markets were slightly lower in the first quarter of 2007 compared to last year. Space & Defense -- Space & Defense sales for the quarter were up 16.6% over last year (14.6% in constant currency) Demand from military fixed wing and rotor craft applications was strong, and the inventory corrections noted last year appear to have been completed. Operations -- Gross margins increased to 23.8% in the quarter compared to 23.2% in the first quarter of 2006. The gross margin on the incremental sales of $27.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2006 was 30%, consistent with prior trends. -- As previously announced, the Company completed its expansion of a precursor line and the first of two new carbon fiber lines ahead of schedule. Full design capability has now been demonstrated and sales of production essentially offset the initial startup costs. We expect to reach full rate production by the end of the second quarter and have also begun the aerospace qualification process. -- SG&A expenditures in the quarter of $33.4 million were $3.1 million higher than the first quarter of 2006. Non-cash stock compensation expense was up $1.5 million for the quarter but is expected to be in line with our guidance for the full year of 2007. SG&A expenses for the quarter also included $0.3 million of transaction costs that are being expensed as incurred related to our divestiture activities. -- R&T spending increased $2.0 million in the quarter reflecting expenditures related to new product development and qualification efforts for new aircraft programs. Most of the increase was within our Engineered Products operating segment as a result of certification testing of Boeing 787 components made from our new HexMC system. -- Operating income for the quarter, excluding business consolidation and restructuring expense and transaction costs related to the divestitures, was $35.6 million or 10.8% of sales (see Table F). Program Activities -- Boeing 787 revenue potential for Hexcel is expected to average between $1.0 to $1.3 million per aircraft on early versions of the aircraft. The engine selected by the ordering airline will influence the revenue we generate from each aircraft sale - the GE engine offering has a significantly higher composite content. An extensive range of Hexcel products such as prepregs, specialty reinforcements, honeycomb core, resin systems, structural components, including HexMC(R) products, have been selected by a diverse group of suppliers to the aircraft. Active weight reduction programs and new products provide the opportunity for increased participation on future variants of the aircraft. At anticipated full production rates, Hexcel annual revenues for the Boeing 787 are likely to approximate the annual revenues Hexcel will realize from the A380. -- Airbus A350 XWB carbon fiber composite system selection process is well underway given the long cycle for primary structure development. The final selection, manufacturing trials, engineering testing, freezing of the specification definition and qualification activities may take many months and may involve competing products. We expect development trial materials will result in Hexcel sales this year. Income Taxes -- As of January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. -- The Company's effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2007 was 41.5%, as compared to 39.4% for the first quarter of 2006. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily as a result of the adoption of FIN 48. It is expected that FIN 48 will increase the volatility of the effective tax rate. Total Debt, Net of Cash -- Total debt, net of cash increased by $1.5 million in the quarter to $388.1 million as of March 31, 2007. During the quarter, the Company received $25.0 in gross cash proceeds from the sale of its Architectural business. -- Inventories as of March 31, 2007 grew by $17 million in constant currency compared to December 31, 2006 and $31 million in constant currency compared to March 31, 2006. -- The growth in inventories has been driven by a number of factors, including building tooling to mold finished parts using the new HexMC(R) materials and processes for the 787, bridge inventory for the closure of the Livermore, CA plant, increases in aircraft production and normal seasonality. Despite these requirements for additional inventory, Hexcel continues to seek opportunities to improve its inventory turnover. Portfolio Review Update -- On February 28, 2007, Hexcel completed the sale of its Architectural business and recorded an after-tax gain of $6.8 million or about $0.07 per diluted common share. -- The remaining non-core assets under review and subject to potential divestiture are the Company's electronics, ballistics and general industrial reinforcement product sales now reported under the EBGI Reinforcements operating segment. The external revenues for this segment in the first quarter of 2007 were $46.1 million compared to $40.9 million for the first quarter of 2006.
