The earnings call revealed strong growth in the commercial aerospace segment and proactive stock repurchase efforts. However, this was tempered by ongoing supply chain disruptions, the withdrawal of midterm guidance due to uncertainty, flat performance in Space & Defense, and a decline in industrial sales.
Company Guidance
In the Hexcel Q3 2024 earnings call, the company reported robust performance with sales reaching $456.5 million, marking an 8% year-over-year increase. Commercial Aerospace sales, a significant segment constituting 65% of total sales, surged by 17%, driven by strong performance in key programs like Airbus A350, A320neo, and Boeing 787. Space & Defense sales remained flat at $128.2 million, comprising 28% of total sales, while Industrial sales, representing 7%, saw a decline of 17.3%. Hexcel's adjusted EPS improved by over 20% to $0.47, supported by tax planning that lowered the effective tax rate to 19%. The company withdrew its midterm guidance due to ongoing supply chain challenges, although it remains optimistic about the long-term growth trajectory, especially in the commercial aerospace sector. Hexcel also highlighted strategic changes, including exploring options for its Austrian plant, which does not align with its core strategic priorities.
Commercial Aerospace Sales Growth
Hexcel's commercial aerospace sales reached $296 million, marking a 17% increase year-over-year in constant currency.
