Filing Explained

Q2 capital returns included $15 million of repurchases and a $0.26 dividend, with at least $60 million of 2026 repurchases targeted.

The Form 8-K adds completed Q2 capital-return actions: the company repurchased $15 million of common stock and declared a $0.26 quarterly dividend, directly affecting distributions and share ownership for common holders.

The presentation also states a minimum $60 million share-repurchase amount for 2026 to offset dilution; that is a stated target, not a completed transaction.

At June 30, 2026, the company reported cash and cash equivalents of $477,149 thousand, alongside $200 million of current debt and $757,387 thousand of long-term debt.

The stated $200 million of 4.24% senior notes due in December 2026 is the named financing milestone to track alongside execution of the 2026 repurchase target.

5 terms

free cash flow conversion financial

"Free cash flow (FCF) of $160 million, generating 116% FCF conversion."

Free cash flow conversion measures how effectively a company turns its reported profits into actual cash that can be used for growth, debt repayment, or dividends. It compares the cash generated after expenses to the company's net income, similar to how a person might compare their savings to their paycheck. High conversion indicates the company is efficient at translating profits into cash, which is important for investors assessing its financial health and flexibility.

book-to-bill financial

"New orders of $1.1 billion, up 8%, reflecting a 1.16x book-to-bill;"

The book-to-bill ratio compares new orders a company has received (bookings) to the products or services it has invoiced or shipped (billings) over the same period. It matters to investors because a ratio above 1 means demand is outpacing fulfillment and the company may grow revenue or build backlog, while a ratio below 1 suggests slowing demand and possible future revenue weakness — think of it as new customer orders versus what the company actually sold.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) financial

"2026 Adjusted Non-GAAP Guidance (Current)"

Adjusted (non-GAAP) numbers are company-reported financial figures that start with standard accounting results and then add back or remove certain items—like one-time costs, stock-based pay, or restructuring charges—to present a different view of performance. Investors care because these adjustments can make underlying trends clearer, like cleaning a blurry photo to see the subject, but they can also be used to make results look better than the standard figures, so scrutiny is needed.

Small modular reactors (SMRs) technical

"next-generation advanced reactors (SMRs transitioning to initial prototype phases)"

Small modular reactors are compact nuclear power plants produced in factory-built modules that can be shipped to a site and assembled piece by piece rather than built all at once on location. They matter to investors because they aim to reduce upfront cost and construction risk, allow capacity to be added like stacking building blocks, and influence companies through potential contracts, regulatory approvals, operating revenue, and long-term energy supply and price dynamics.

"Growth on dFMS programs (embedded computing, flight data recorders, sensors)"

Use and Definitions 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 Adjusted (non-GAAP) measures provide investors with improved transparency in order to better measure Curtiss-Wright’s ongoing operating and financial performance and provide more relevant comparisons of our key financial metrics to our peers. 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. Reconciliations of “Reported” GAAP amounts to “Adjusted” non-GAAP amounts are furnished within this release.

The following definitions are provided:

Adjusted Sales, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted EPS

These Adjusted financials are defined as Reported Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share under GAAP excluding: (i) the impact of first year purchase accounting costs associated with acquisitions, specifically one-time inventory step-up, backlog amortization, deferred revenue adjustments, transaction costs, and gains/losses on equity securities held for investment purposes; (ii) costs associated with the Company's 2026 Restructuring Program in the current period and the Company's 2024 Restructuring Program in the prior period, as applicable; and (iii) a current period gain on equity securities held for investment purposes.

10 | August 6, 2026 | Proprietary | © 2026 Curtiss-Wright 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 Adjusted (non-GAAP) measures provide investors with improved transparency in order to better measure Curtiss-Wright’s ongoing operating and financial performance and provide more relevant comparisons of our key financial metrics to our peers. 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. Reconciliations of “Reported” GAAP amounts to “Adjusted” non-GAAP amounts are furnished within the Company’s earnings press release. The following definitions are provided: Adjusted Sales, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted EPS These Adjusted financials are defined as Reported Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share under GAAP excluding: (i) the impact of first year purchase accounting costs associated with acquisitions, specifically one-time inventory step-up, backlog amortization, deferred revenue adjustments, transaction costs, and gains/losses on equity securities held for investment purposes; (ii) costs associated with the Company's 2026 Restructuring Program in the current period and the Company's 2024 Restructuring Program in the prior period, as applicable; and (iii) a current period gain on equity securities held for investment purposes. Organic Sales and Organic Operating Income The Corporation discloses organic sales and organic operating income because the Corporation believes it provides investors with insight as to the Company’s ongoing business performance. Organic sales and organic operating income are defined as sales and operating income, excluding contributions from acquisitions and results of operations from divested businesses or product lines during the last twelve months, costs associated with the Company's 2026 Restructuring Program in the current period and the Company's 2024 Restructuring Program in the prior period, and foreign currency fluctuations. Free Cash Flow (FCF) 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 net cash provided by operating activities less net 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 adjusted net earnings.
