CURTISS-WRIGHT REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS
July 29, 2015
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 29, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW) reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015.
second quarter 2015 highlights
- The Company reaffirms expectations for operating margin of 13.3% to 13.4%, diluted EPS of $3.80 to $3.90 and adjusted free cash flow of $245 million to $265 million;
- Net sales decreased 4% to $545 million, from $569 million in 2014; Organic sales down 2%;
- Operating income decreased 9% to $65 million, from $72 million in 2014, due primarily to higher AP1000 testing costs, as expected;
- Operating margin for the second quarter decreased 70 basis points to 12.0%, from 12.7% in 2014, while year-to-date operating margin increased 70 basis points to 12.7%;
- Net earnings from continuing operations decreased 7% to $40 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, from $43 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, in 2014;
- Sale of non-core assets essentially complete, most notably the sale of our downstream oil and gas business; and
- Invested $50M in share repurchases as part of the Company's balanced capital allocation strategy.
"Our second quarter results were ahead of our expectations, as we generated $0.83 in diluted earnings per share and continue to return significant value to our shareholders despite challenging market conditions," said David C. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "Within the Defense segment, we produced solid profitability with strong gains in aerospace and ground defense, including the receipt of a new order for our turret drive stabilization system. We generated higher margins in both our Commercial/Industrial and Defense segments, though as expected, this performance was offset by investments in the AP1000 program, as we near the conclusion of the development phase of our first-of-a-kind reactor coolant pumps.
"Looking to the balance of 2015, we continue to anticipate further margin expansion as we accelerate toward top-quartile performance in profitability. As a result, we are maintaining our full-year diluted EPS guidance of $3.80 to $3.90, although we modified our sales outlook based on slowing conditions affecting some of our industrial businesses, particularly those with exposure to the energy markets.
"Furthermore, underscoring our commitment to return capital to shareholders, thus far in 2015, we have returned more than $100 million through consistent share repurchases and dividend distributions. We continue to actively repurchase shares under our buyback program and expect to repurchase at least $200 million this year, with the potential for an additional $100 million in opportunistic repurchases, following the recently announced expansion of our share repurchase program to $300 million. Overall, we remain committed to enhancing shareholder value by improving profitability, generating strong free cash flow and maintaining a balanced capital allocation strategy."
second quarter 2015 operating results from continuing operations
(In thousands) | 2Q-2015 | 2Q-2014 | % Change |
Sales | $ 545,194 | $ 569,198 | (4%) |
Operating income | 65,442 | 72,159 | (9%) |
Operating margin | 12.0% | 12.7% | (70 bps) |
sales
Sales of $545 million in the second quarter decreased $24 million, or 4%, compared to the prior year, driven by unfavorable foreign currency translation and a 2% decline in organic growth (excluding effects of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures). Within the segments, 5% organic growth in the Defense segment was more than offset by lower organic sales in the Power segment.
From an end market perspective, sales to the commercial markets decreased 11%, while sales to the defense markets increased 9%, compared to the prior year. Please refer to the accompanying tables for a breakdown of sales by end market.
OPERATING INCOME
Operating income in the second quarter was $65 million, a decrease of $7 million, or 9%, compared to the prior year. This performance was primarily driven by reduced operating income in the Power segment, partially offset by solid organic growth and the benefit of favorable foreign currency translation in the Defense segment.
Operating margin was 12.0%, a decrease of 70 basis points over the prior year, reflecting lower segment operating income, partially offset by the benefits of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives.
non-segment expense
Non-segment expenses were lower as compared with the prior year, primarily due to lower pension and corporate costs, partially offset by higher foreign exchange transactional losses.
NET EARNINGS
Second quarter net earnings decreased 7% from the comparable prior year period. Interest expense of $9 million was in-line with the prior year period. Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was 28.9%, a decrease from 31.9% in the prior year, driven by increased foreign R&D tax benefits and a reversal of tax valuation allowance.
free CASH FLOW
(In thousands) | 2Q-2015 | 2Q-2014 |
Net cash generated from operating activities | $ 59,821 | $ 99,010 |
Capital expenditures | (6,593) | (17,631) |
Free cash flow | $ 53,228 | $ 81,379 |
Free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, was $53 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $81 million in the prior year period, or a decrease of approximately $28 million. Net cash generated from operating activities decreased $39 million to $60 million, primarily due to lower deferred revenues, as the prior year period included significant advanced payments related to naval defense orders. Capital expenditures decreased $11 million to $7 million, as the prior year period included investments in several facility expansions that did not recur.
New orders and backlog
New orders in the second quarter were $525 million, a decrease of 24% compared to the prior year, due to the timing of significant orders within the naval defense market. Backlog of $1.64 billion decreased 2% from December 31, 2014, but was 2% higher excluding the reduction resulting from the Progress Energy termination change order received in the first quarter of 2015.
Nother items - share repurchase
During the second quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 679,600 shares of its common stock for approximately $50 million. Year-to-date through June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares of its common stock for approximately $97 million.
Nother items - discontinued operations
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an after-tax book charge on its discontinued operations of approximately $11 million, or $0.23 diluted earnings per share.

second quarter 2015 segment performance
Commercial/Industrial
(In thousands) | 2Q-2015 | 2Q-2014 | % Change |
Sales | $ 304,465 | $ 313,798 | (3%) |
Operating income | 45,253 | 45,750 | (1%) |
Operating margin | 14.9% | 14.6% | 30 bps |
Sales for the second quarter were $304 million, a decrease of $9 million, or 3%, over the comparable prior year period. Organic sales were flat compared to the prior year period, excluding $12 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation, primarily within the general industrial market, and a $2 million benefit from acquisitions. Within the commercial aerospace market, sales were flat as OEM production levels remained essentially in-line with prior year levels. In the general industrial market, we experienced lower international project sales of severe-service valves serving the energy markets as well as decreased sales of industrial vehicle products. Those reductions were partially offset by higher valve sales supporting the Virginia-class submarine program in the naval defense market.
Operating income in the second quarter was $45 million, down 1% from the comparable prior year period, while operating margin increased 30 basis points to 14.9%. Our results were principally aided by higher sales volumes of sensors and controls products, as well as the benefit of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives. We also experienced higher profitability for industrial vehicle products, despite lower sales volumes, due to ongoing margin improvement initiatives. Those improvements in operating income and margin were offset by lower sales of industrial valves and surface treatment services, as well as $1 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Defense
(In thousands) | 2Q-2015 | 2Q-2014 | % Change |
Sales | $ 119,651 | $ 118,507 | 1% |
Operating income | 24,391 | 18,002 | 35% |
Operating margin | 20.4% | 15.2% | 520 bps |
Sales for the second quarter were $120 million, an increase of $1 million, or 1%, over the comparable prior year period. Organic sales increased 5% over the prior year period, excluding $4 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation. Our results reflect higher ground defense sales, driven by continued strong demand for turret drive stabilization systems, including a new award in the current quarter on the U.K. Scout program. In aerospace defense, we experienced improved sales of embedded computing products serving various fighter jet and UAV programs, most notably the JSF and Global Hawk programs. These increases were partially offset by lower quarter-over-quarter revenues related to avionics and flight test equipment within the commercial aerospace market.
Operating income in the second quarter was $24 million, an increase of $6 million, or 35%, compared to the prior year period, while operating margin improved 520 basis points to 20.4%. On an organic basis, operating income improved 21% and operating margin increased 240 basis points as compared to the prior year, excluding $3 million in favorable foreign currency translation. This strong improvement in operating income and operating margin was driven by higher sales of turret drive stabilization systems and embedded computing products, as well as the benefits of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives.
Power
(In thousands) | 2Q-2015 | 2Q-2014 | % Change |
Sales | $ 121,078 | $ 136,893 | (12%) |
Operating income | 1,454 | 14,865 | (90%) |
Operating margin | 1.2% | 10.9% | (970 bps) |
Sales for the second quarter were $121 million, a decrease of $16 million, or 12%, compared to the prior year period. 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 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. Naval defense market sales were essentially flat, as higher sales of pumps and generators supporting the Virginia-class submarine program were mainly offset by decreased production on the Ford-class aircraft carrier program.
Operating income in the second quarter was $1 million, a 90% decrease from the comparable prior year period, while operating margin declined 970 basis points to 1.2%. Our results, as expected, were primarily impacted by higher costs relative to the engineering and endurance testing, as well as additional costs relative to final modifications to our reactor coolant pumps on the AP1000 program. Current quarter profitability was also impacted by lower aftermarket sales volumes in the power generation market.

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.
