Insights

Woodward delivered mixed Q2 results with strong Aerospace growth offsetting Industrial weakness; raised low-end guidance despite tariff concerns.

Woodward reported Q2 revenue of $884 million, up 6% year-over-year, with net earnings of $109 million increasing 12%. Earnings per share grew 14% to $1.78. However, free cash flow declined 28% to $59 million, indicating some disconnection between profit growth and cash generation.

The company's performance shows stark segment divergence. Aerospace was the standout performer with 13% revenue growth, driven by a remarkable 52% increase in defense OEM sales and 23% growth in commercial aftermarket. This strength propelled Aerospace margins to 22.2%, up 240 basis points. The robust commercial aftermarket growth signals healthy utilization of legacy aircraft fleets.

Conversely, the Industrial segment struggled with a 5% revenue decline, primarily due to an anticipated 18% drop in transportation revenue from lower China on-highway natural gas truck sales. This weakness substantially impacted profitability, with Industrial margins contracting 500 basis points to 14.3%. The segment did see bright spots with 21% growth in oil and gas markets.

Management has raised the low end of full-year guidance, now projecting sales of $3,375-$3,500 million and adjusted EPS of $5.95-$6.25. This cautiously optimistic outlook factors in announced tariff levels but explicitly excludes potential further escalation, suggesting remaining uncertainty.

The balance sheet shows increasing leverage, with total debt of $912 million resulting in EBITDA leverage of 1.5x, up from 1.2x. Despite this increase, the company continued share repurchases of $44 million during the quarter, indicating management confidence in long-term fundamentals.

~Results in Line with Expectations, on Track to Deliver Full-Year Guidance~

FORT COLLINS, Colo., April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Woodward, Inc. (NASDAQ: WWD) today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

All amounts are presented on an as reported (U.S. GAAP) basis unless otherwise indicated. All per share amounts are presented on a fully diluted basis. All references to years are references to the Company’s fiscal year unless otherwise stated. All comparisons are made to the same period of the prior year unless otherwise stated.

Second Quarter Overview

	Second Quarter 2025	Year to Date – Fiscal Year 2025
Net sales	$884M, 6%	$1,656M, 2%
Net earnings	$109M, 12%	$196M, 5%
Adjusted net earnings¹	$103M, 3%	$186M, -3%
Earnings per share (EPS)	$1.78, 14%	$3.20, 6%
Adjusted EPS¹	$1.69, 4%	$3.04, -1%
Cash from operations	$78M, -20%	$112M, -22%
Free cash flow¹	$59M, -28%	$60M, -31%

"Our strong second quarter results were in line with our expectations, reflecting the dedication of our members in a volatile environment,” said Chip Blankenship, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Aerospace segment growth was driven by continued strong demand for smart defense, and robust commercial aftermarket activity fueled by high utilization of legacy aircraft. This was partially offset by lower commercial OEM and defense aftermarket activity. Our Industrial business delivered double-digit sales growth in power generation, oil and gas, and marine transportation combined. This was offset by an anticipated decline in China on-highway natural gas truck sales.”

“Based on what we know today, we are confident in Woodward’s ability to manage the announced tariff levels and current operating environment in the second half of the fiscal year. We are raising the low end of our sales and earnings guidance and reaffirming the other elements of our full-year outlook. Our long-term value proposition remains intact, and we are committed to achieving sustainable growth and enhancing shareholder value.”

¹Adjusted and Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures: Adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted nonsegment expenses exclude, as applicable (i) product rationalization, (ii) a non-recurring gain related to a previous acquisition, (iii) costs related to business development activities, and (iv) certain non-restructuring separation costs. The product rationalization adjustment pertains to gains related to the elimination of certain product lines. The Company believes that these excluded items are short‐term in nature, not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business, and therefore, the exclusion of them illustrates more clearly how the underlying business of Woodward is performing. Guidance with respect to non-U.S. GAAP measures as provided in this release excludes, as applicable, (i) product rationalization, and (ii) business development activities.

EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), free cash flow, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted nonsegment expenses are financial measures not prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Management uses EBIT and adjusted EBIT to evaluate Woodward’s operating performance without the impacts of financing and tax related considerations. Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in evaluating Woodward’s operating performance, making business decisions, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, forecasting future periods, and evaluating capital structure impacts of various strategic scenarios. Management also uses free cash flow, which is derived from net cash provided by or used in operating activities less payments for property, plant, and equipment in reviewing the financial performance of Woodward’s various business segments and evaluating cash generation levels. Securities analysts, investors, and others frequently use EBIT, EBITDA, and free cash flow in their evaluation of companies, particularly those with significant property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets that are subject to amortization. The use of any of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, and adjusted EBITDA exclude certain financial information compared with net earnings, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the information that is excluded. Free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Woodward’s calculations of EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted nonsegment expenses, and free cash flow may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
