Hexcel Corporation (NYSE:HXL) today reported second quarter 2023 results including net sales of $454 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.50 per share.

Chairman, CEO and President Nick Stanage said, "Hexcel's second quarter demonstrated strong execution and delivered a 16% year-over-year increase in sales and a more than 50% increase in adjusted earnings per share. Global demand for our lightweight composite materials, delivering sustainable solutions continues to be robust, and our focus remains on staying agile and aligned with our customers to meet their requirements, as well as collaborating on next-generation innovations. Based on our confidence for the remainder of the year, we are now raising our guidance for Sales and Adjusted EPS."

Mr. Stanage continued, "During May we completed our Morocco engineered products facility expansion that doubled our capacity to support the growing demand for lightweight composite engineered core in the region. We also made the strategic decision to acquire the site in Amesbury near Boston, Massachusetts, that is home to our highly specialized engineered products business acquired in 2019, thus ensuring our flexibility as we grow and expand that business going forward. Hexcel is well-positioned globally to support the expected production rate ramps of our customers as well as to pursue the significant secular growth opportunities for lightweight composite solutions."

		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.
