Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Oct 22, 2018
|% Change Since: -4.05%
|Next Earnings Date:Jul 23, 2018
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
Hexcel delivered solid growth in revenue and cash flow, driven by strong performance in commercial aerospace and space & defense segments. However, challenges such as industrial sales decline and noncash charges related to divestitures offset some of the positive momentum. The company is strategically divesting non-core assets and focusing on its strengths in advanced materials, positioning itself for future growth.Company Guidance
During the Hexcel Corporation Q4 2024 earnings call, guidance for 2025 was provided, projecting sales between $1.95 billion and $2.05 billion, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) between $2.05 and $2.25, and free cash flow exceeding $220 million. The forecast anticipates high single-digit growth in Commercial Aerospace sales, driven by increasing demand and production rates for aircraft such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A320neo. Conversely, Industrial sales are expected to decline, impacted by the planned divestment of the Neumarkt, Austria facility. The company also plans to divest its Hartford, Connecticut 3D printing business in early 2025. Operationally, Hexcel aims to manage cost headwinds from elevated headcount and increased R&T spending, while leveraging existing capacity to support growing production rates, ultimately seeking to enhance operating margins through improved overhead leverage and productivity initiatives.Revenue Growth and Strong Cash Flow
Hexcel achieved a full-year sales of $1.903 billion, marking a 6.4% increase over 2023. The company generated a free cash flow of $202.9 million, showcasing robust financial health.

Improved Margins
