Guidance Update
Share Buyback
  • Hexcel reported Q3 2025 sales of $456.2 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.37, with gross margin decreasing to 21.9% from 23.3% in Q3 2024 due to sales mix, tariffs, and inventory reduction actions.
  • The company revised its 2025 guidance, narrowing sales expectations to the bottom of the prior range and reducing EPS guidance, primarily due to lingering OEM destocking in Q4 and the incorporation of tariffs. Commercial aerospace sales are now forecasted to be down mid to upper single digits, while defense, space, and other sales are expected to be higher by mid to upper single digits.
  • Hexcel expressed growing confidence in a sustained ramp-up in aerospace production rates, with the commercial aircraft backlog exceeding 15,000 units and key programs like the A350, A320, 737 MAX, and 787 targeting increased build rates in the coming years. The company expects to exit 2025 aligned with customer build rates and positioned for growth in 2026 and beyond.
  • The Board authorized an additional $600 million share repurchase program and announced a $350 million accelerated share repurchase (ASR), funded by its revolver, with a commitment to repay the revolver and return to target leverage ratios in 2026. Hexcel forecasts generating over $1 billion in cumulative free cash flow from 2025 to 2028.
  • Patrick Winterlich, EVP and CFO, announced his departure from Hexcel after 27 years.
