Curtiss-Wright Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results; Raises Full-Year 2019 Guidance for Sales, Operating Income & Margin, EPS and Free Cash Flow
DAVIDSON, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2019--Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) reports financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
On March 18, 2019, Curtiss-Wright announced the acquisition of Tactical Communications Group, LLC (TCG), a leading supplier of tactical data link software solutions for critical military communication systems. In addition to our Reported results, we have included an Adjusted view (defined below) that excludes first year purchase accounting costs associated with this acquisition, as well as one-time transition and IT security costs associated with the relocation of the DRG business.
First Quarter 2019 Highlights:
·	Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.29, with Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.30 (defined below), up 32% and 33%, respectively, compared with the prior year;
·	Net sales of $578 million, up 6%;
·	Reported and Adjusted operating income of $72 million, up 12%;
·	Reported and Adjusted operating margin of 12.5%, up 70 basis points;
·	New orders of $747 million increased 23%, led by strong naval defense orders, while Backlog of $2.2 billion increased 7% from December 31, 2018; and
·	Share repurchases of approximately $12 million.
Full-Year 2019 Business Outlook (compared with Adjusted full-year 2018):
·	Increased Adjusted diluted EPS guidance by $0.20 to new range of $7.00 to $7.15, up 10-12%, due to expectations for higher sales and profitability in the Commercial/Industrial segment, contribution from the TCG acquisition (as Adjusted), exclusion of one-time costs associated with the relocation of the DRG business, and a slight reduction to share count;
·	Increased sales guidance to new range of 4-6% growth (previously up 3-5%) and Adjusted operating income guidance to new range of 6-9% growth (previously up 4-6%);
·	Increased Adjusted operating margin guidance to new range of 16.2% to 16.3%, up 40-50 basis points (previously 15.9% to 16.0%, up 10-20 basis points); and
·	Increased Reported free cash flow by $10 million to new range of $310 to $320 million and Adjusted free cash flow range to new range of $330 to $340 million, excluding a $20 million capital investment in the Power segment related to construction of and move to a new, state-of-the-art naval facility for the DRG business, generating a free cash flow conversion rate of approximately 110%.

“We delivered a strong start to the year, allowing us to increase our full-year guidance for sales, operating income, operating margin, diluted EPS and free cash flow,” said David C. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. “First quarter Adjusted diluted EPS was $1.30, as we delivered solid 6% top-line growth driven by strong defense market sales, as well as improved profitability led by a strong performance in the Power segment. Our results also reflected solid new order growth of 23%, primarily based on the timing of naval defense orders, which provides increased confidence in achieving our overall sales expectations.”
“Looking ahead to the remainder of 2019, we anticipate steady, sequential improvement in operating margin, diluted EPS and free cash flow. Further, the recently completed acquisition of TCG supports our objectives for long-term profitable growth and strong free cash flow generation. Overall, we continue to execute on our long-term strategy to deliver top-quartile financial performance, which will enable us to deliver significant value for our shareholders.”

·	Sales of $578 million, up $31 million, or 6%, compared with the prior year (2% organic, 5% acquisitions, 1% unfavorable foreign currency translation);
·	From an end market perspective, total sales to the defense markets increased 12%, or 3% organically, led by a 27% surge in naval defense revenues, while total sales to the commercial markets increased 2%, led by improved commercial aerospace and general industrial sales, compared with the prior year. Please refer to the accompanying tables for a breakdown of sales by end market;
·	Reported and Adjusted operating income of $72 million, up $8 million, or 12%, compared with the prior year, principally reflects higher organic revenues and the contribution from our DRG acquisition in the Power segment, partially offset by reduced operating income in the Defense segment;
·	Reported and Adjusted operating margin of 12.5%, up 70 basis points compared with the prior year, reflects favorable overhead absorption on higher naval defense revenues and increased profitability on the China Direct AP1000 program in the Power segment, as well as the benefits of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives, partially offset by unfavorable mix for our defense electronics products in the Defense segment, as expected; and
·	Non-segment expenses of $9 million were slightly lower compared with the prior year, principally due to lower environmental costs.

·	The effective tax rate (ETR) was 20.9%, a decrease from 28.4% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to additional tax expense associated with the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) for foreign withholding taxes recognized in the prior year period.

·	Sales of $294 million, down $3 million, or 1%, compared with the prior year (1% organic, 2% unfavorable foreign currency translation);
·	Lower naval defense market revenues principally reflects lower sales of valves on the CVN-80 aircraft carrier program, based on timing of production;
·	Commercial aerospace market sales were essentially flat, as higher OEM sales of sensors products were mainly offset by lower actuation revenues due to the delayed signing of a new supply agreement and lower FAA directives;
·	General industrial market sales growth was principally driven by solid demand for industrial valve and vehicle products; and
·	Reported operating income was $39 million, up 1% compared with the prior year, while reported operating margin increased 20 basis points to 13.4%, reflecting higher sales and favorable overhead absorption for industrial valve and sensors products, offset by lower sales and unfavorable overhead absorption for actuation products, while the benefits of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives were offset by the impact from tariffs.

·	Sales of $121 million, up $2 million, or 2%, compared with the prior year (3% organic, 1% unfavorable foreign currency translation);
·	Aerospace defense market sales were essentially flat, as higher sales on various helicopter programs, including the Apache platform, were offset by reduced sales on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programs;

·	Higher naval defense market revenues principally reflect higher sales of embedded computing equipment on the Virginia class submarine program;
·	Higher commercial aerospace market revenues principally reflect higher sales of avionics and electronics equipment on various domestic and international platforms;
·	Reported operating income was $18 million, with Reported operating margin of 14.6%; and
·	Adjusted operating income of $18 million, down $2 million, or 8%, compared with the prior year, while Adjusted operating margin decreased 170 basis points to 14.9%, driven by unfavorable mix for our defense electronics products, despite higher sales.

·	Sales of $164 million, up $32 million, or 24%, compared with the prior year (6% organic, 18% acquisition);
·	Strong naval defense market sales were driven by higher Virginia class submarine and CVN-80 aircraft carrier revenues, as well as solid DRG service center revenues;

·	Reported operating income was $24 million, up $9 million, or 58%, compared with the prior year, while Reported operating margin increased 320 basis points to 14.8%, reflecting favorable overhead absorption on higher naval defense revenues and increased profitability on the China Direct AP1000 program.

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. 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.

 Appendix  Non-GAAP Financial Results The company reports its financial performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). This press release refers to "Adjusted" amounts, which are Non-GAAP financial measures described below. We utilize a number of different financial measures in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, and in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance.  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 with this presentation. All per share amounts are reported on a diluted basis. The following definitions are provided: Adjusted Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Income and Diluted EPSThese 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.
