October 30, 2019
DAVIDSON, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) reports financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
third quarter 2019 highlights:
- Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.92, with Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.95 (defined below), each up 14% compared to the prior year;
- Net sales of $615 million, up 3%;
- Reported operating income of $106 million, up 9%, with Reported operating margin of 17.2%, up 90 basis points;
- Adjusted operating income of $107 million, up 9%, with Adjusted operating margin of 17.4%, up 90 basis points;
- Reported free cash flow of $102 million, with Adjusted free cash flow of $107 million;
- New orders of $647 million, up 26%; and
- Share repurchases of approximately $13 million.
full-year 2019 adjusted guidance (compared to adjusted full-year 2018):
- Narrowed sales growth to new range of 4% - 5%;
- Reaffirmed Adjusted operating income growth of 6% - 9%;
- Increased Adjusted operating margin by 10 basis points to new range of 16.3% to 16.4%, up 50 - 60 basis points;
- Increased Adjusted diluted EPS guidance by $0.10 to $0.15 to new range of $7.15 to $7.25, up 12% - 14%; and
- Increased Adjusted free cash flow by $10 million to new range of $340 to $350 million, representing an Adjusted free cash flow conversion rate of approximately 111%.
“We generated solid third quarter results which exceeded our expectations, led by strong 17% sales growth in our defense markets and improved profitability in the Commercial/Industrial and Defense segments,” said David C. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
“We are pleased to announce the conclusion of the root cause analysis of the reactor coolant pump (RCP) matter at the Sanmen 2 nuclear power plant in China, which was determined to be isolated to a single RCP. As a result, the net impact to Curtiss-Wright’s full-year 2019 operating performance was immaterial. Further, the remaining three Sanmen 2 RCPs were inspected and it was determined that they do not have this problem, and the remaining 12 RCPs supporting additional plants in China have continued to operate successfully.”
“Based on our solid year-to-date results and outlook for the remainder of 2019, we increased our full-year Adjusted guidance for operating margin, diluted EPS and free cash flow. Overall, we anticipate delivering another solid operational performance this year led by strong margin expansion and solid free cash flow generation. We are in a strong position to continue to deliver significant long-term value to our shareholders and remain on track to achieve our 2021 financial targets.”

(1) Adjusted results exclude one-time inventory step-up, backlog amortization and transaction costs for current and prior year acquisitions of TCG in 2019 (Defense segment) and DRG in 2018 (Power segment), respectively, and one-time transition and IT security costs associated with the relocation of our DRG business (Power segment). |
- Sales of $615 million, up $19 million, or 3%, compared to the prior year (3% organic, 1% acquisitions, 1% unfavorable foreign currency translation);
- From an end market perspective, total sales to the defense markets increased 17% (16% organic), led by strong growth in aerospace and naval defense, while total sales to the commercial markets decreased 6%, as higher commercial aerospace sales were more than offset by reduced power generation and general industrial sales, compared to the prior year. Please refer to the accompanying tables for an overall breakdown of sales by end market;
- Reported operating income was $106 million, up 9% compared to the prior year, while reported operating margin increased 90 basis points to 17.2%;
- Adjusted operating income of $107 million, up 9% compared to the prior year, principally reflects higher profitability on strong defense revenues in all three segments and lower non-segment expenses, partially offset by lower China Direct AP1000 revenues in the Power segment;
- Adjusted operating margin of 17.4%, up 90 basis points compared to the prior year, primarily reflects higher operating income and favorable absorption in the Commercial/Industrial and Defense segments, partially offset by reduced profitability on lower power generation revenues in the Power segment; and
- Non-segment expenses of $7 million decreased by $3 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower environmental expenses.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)
The Corporation supplements its financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial information. Curtiss-Wright believes 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. Curtiss-Wright encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
The Company has elected to change the presentation of its financials and guidance to include an Adjusted (non-GAAP) view that excludes first year purchase accounting costs associated with its acquisitions, as well as one-time transition and IT security costs specifically associated with the relocation of the DRG business in the Power segment. Transition costs include relocation of employees and equipment as well as overlapping facility and labor costs associated with the relocation. We believe this Adjusted view will provide improved transparency to the investment community in order to better measure Curtiss-Wright’s ongoing operating and financial performance and better comparisons of our key financial metrics to our peers. Reconciliations of “Reported” GAAP amounts to “Adjusted” non-GAAP amounts are furnished within this release.
The following definitions are provided:
Adjusted Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Income and Diluted EPS
These Adjusted financials are defined as Reported Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Income and Diluted EPS under GAAP excluding the impact of first year purchase accounting costs associated with acquisitions for current and prior year periods, specifically one-time inventory step-up, backlog amortization and transaction costs, as well as one-time transition and IT security costs associated with the relocation of a business in the current year period.
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 and Free Cash Flow Conversion
The Corporation discloses free cash flow because it measures cash flow available for investing and financing activities. Free cash flow represents cash available to repay outstanding debt, invest in the business, acquire businesses, return capital to shareholders and make other strategic investments. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow excludes a capital investment in the Power segment related to the new, state-of-the-art naval facility principally for DRG, and a voluntary contribution to the Company’s corporate defined benefit pension plan made in the first quarter of 2018. The Corporation discloses free cash flow conversion because it measures the proportion of net earnings converted into free cash flow and is defined as free cash flow divided by net earnings from continuing operations.
