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."

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.
