free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow was $51.8 million in the first six months of 2026"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
constant currency financial
"Net sales change in constant currency ... 8.1 %"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
adjusted operating income financial
"Adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2026 was $73.6 million"
Adjusted operating income is a company's profit from its main activities, excluding certain one-time or unusual costs and gains. It helps investors see how well the business is performing in its normal operations, without distractions from rare events or expenses. This way, they get a clearer picture of the company’s true profitability.
senior notes financial
"the Company issued $400 million of 4.9% unsecured senior notes due in May 2031"
Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.
treasury lock agreements financial
"gains for the recognition of deferred hedging gains on treasury lock agreements"
Treasury lock agreements are contracts that let a borrower lock in the U.S. Treasury yield used to price future debt, effectively guaranteeing the base interest rate for an upcoming bond issue. For investors, these locks matter because they fix expected borrowing costs and introduce potential mark-to-market gains or losses and counterparty exposure before the debt is issued—like agreeing a fuel price ahead of a long trip to avoid surprises but risking a better deal if prices fall.
Net sales $529.3 million up 8.0% from $489.9 million in Q2 2025
GAAP diluted EPS $0.64 up 276.5% from $0.17 in Q2 2025
Adjusted diluted EPS $0.66 up 32.0% from $0.50 in Q2 2025
Net cash from operating activities (H1 2026) $96.7 million vs $(5.2) million in the first six months of 2025
Free cash flow (H1 2026) $51.8 million vs $(46.6) million in the first six months of 2025
Guidance

For 2026, the company guides sales to $2.025–$2.125 billion (previously $2.0–$2.1 billion), adjusted diluted EPS to $2.30–$2.40 (previously $2.10–$2.30), free cash flow of greater than $195 million, and capital expenditures of less than $100 million.

STAMFORD, Conn. July 29, 2026 – Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) today reported second quarter 2026 results including net sales of $529.3 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.66 per share.

 

Chairman, CEO and President Tom Gentile said, “Rising build rates at our commercial aerospace customers drove strong sales growth this quarter. Sales growth was particularly strong for both the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 programs, with quarterly sales for these two platforms reaching their highest levels since before the pandemic. The increase in total sales generated meaningful operating leverage that contributed to solid earnings for the quarter with adjusted EPS of $0.66 per share.”

 

Mr. Gentile continued, “Last year, we intentionally lagged adding headcount as we sought greater certainty around customer demand. With the commercial aerospace recovery taking hold and improving visibility to future rates, we are now adding headcount and accelerating the restart of previously idle assets. Our focus remains on execution as we position Hexcel to benefit from a multi-year growth cycle under existing contracts and from the growing adoption of advanced, lightweight composites across aerospace platforms. Given the strengthening demand signals from our customers, we are increasing our 2026 sales and adjusted EPS guidance. As we generate cash this year, we will continue to pay down debt following the borrowing for the accelerated share repurchase executed in late 2025.”

Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the extent of the impact of macroeconomic factors or geopolitical issues or conflicts, including U.S. trade policy and retaliatory actions taken in response and the Middle East conflict; reductions in sales to any significant customers, particularly Airbus or Boeing, including related to regulatory activity or public scrutiny impacting the Boeing 737 MAX; our ability to effectively adjust production and inventory levels to align with customer demand; our ability to effectively motivate, retain and hire the necessary workforce; the availability and cost of raw materials, including the impact of supply disruptions, inflation, tariffs and the Middle East conflict; our ability to successfully implement or realize our strategic initiatives, including our sustainability goals and any restructuring or alignment activities in which we may engage; changes in sales mix; changes in current pricing due to cost levels; changes in aerospace build or delivery rates; any impact from a prolonged shutdown of the U.S. federal government; changes in government defense procurement or investment budgets; timely new product development or introduction; our ability to install, staff and qualify necessary capacity or complete capacity expansions to meet customer demand; our ability to execute future share repurchases or dividends and the source of funds used for such repurchases or dividends; cybersecurity-related risks, including the potential impact of breaches or intrusions; currency exchange rate fluctuations; uncertainty related to governmental actions and changes in political, social and economic conditions, including the effect of change in global trade policies, tariff rates, economic sanctions and embargoes; work stoppages or other labor disruptions; our ability to successfully complete any strategic acquisitions, investments or dispositions; compliance with environmental, health, safety and other related laws and regulations, including those related to climate change; the effects of natural disasters or other severe weather events, which may be worsened by the impact of climate change, and other severe catastrophic events, including any public health crisis; and the unexpected outcome of legal matters or impact of changes in laws or regulations.

(a)
To assist in the analysis of the Company’s net sales trend, total net sales and sales by market for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 have been estimated using the same U.S. dollar, British pound and Euro exchange rates as applied for the respective periods in 2026 and are referred to as “constant currency” sales.
(b)
FX effect is the estimated impact on “as reported” net sales due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

NOTE: Management believes that adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures, are meaningful to investors because they provide a view of Hexcel with respect to the underlying operating results excluding special items. Special items represent significant charges or credits that are important to an understanding of Hexcel’s overall operating results in the periods presented. Non-GAAP measurements are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
