STAMFORD, CT, July 20, 2001 - Hexcel Corporation (NYSE/PCX: HXL) today reported results for the second quarter of 2001. Net loss for the 2001 second quarter was $12.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. The net loss for the second quarter 2001, before the extraordinary loss of $3.1 million arising from the early retirement of debt, was $9.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $50.4 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2000. The quarter's results include a number of one-time charges detailed below. Excluding these items and business consolidation expenses, the Company's pretax income was $1.6 million. The second quarter 2000 results included a net after-tax gain from the sale of the Bellingham aircraft interiors business of approximately $44.0 million, or $0.97 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2001 was $33.4 million versus $38.8 million for the second quarter of 2000 and $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2000 on a pro forma basis. Adjusted EBITDA for 2001 year to date was $72.3 million versus $75.9 million for 2000 year to date on a pro forma basis. Pro forma results give effect to the April 26, 2000 sale of the Bellingham aircraft interiors business as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2000.
Revenue Trends
Year on year revenue grew by $14.6 million, on an aggregate basis, in Hexcel's aerospace and industrial segments. However, this growth could not offset the $30.3 million decline in revenues from the Company's electronics segment for the same period. As a result, consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2001 of $253.5 million was 6% lower than 2000 second quarter pro forma revenue of $269.2 million. Had the same U.S. dollar, British pound and Euro exchange rates applied in the second quarter of 2001 as in the second quarter of 2000, revenue for the 2001 quarter would have been $259.3 million or 4% lower than the pro forma revenue for the second quarter of 2000.
- Commercial Aerospace. Sales of composite materials and engineered products to Airbus, Boeing and regional aircraft producers remained robust during the quarter. Revenue for the 2001 second quarter was $141.0 million, 10.5% higher than 2000 second quarter pro forma revenue of $127.6 million. The increase in 2001 second quarter revenue as compared to the same period a year ago resulted primarily from higher aircraft build rates.
- Space & Defense. Revenue for the 2001 second quarter of $32.1 million was $2.0 million or 6% lower than revenue for the second quarter of 2000. While revenues may vary quarter to quarter, sales associated with military aircraft and helicopters continue to trend upwards as the new generation of military aircraft in the United States and Europe ramp up in production.
- Electronics. Sales for the 2001 second quarter were $16.5 million, down 65% from the second quarter of 2000. The 2001 second quarter reflected the full impact of the severe industry downturn and inventory correction working through the global electronics market. The sharp reduction in demand for woven electronic glass fabrics seen towards the end of the first quarter in the United States continued throughout the second quarter. Hexcel's wholly-owned electronics operations in Europe as well as its Asian joint venture also experienced lower demand in the second quarter. In response to these market conditions, Hexcel has idled manufacturing capacity, cut non-essential expenditures, laid off some production employees while furloughing others.
- Industrial Markets. Sales were $63.9 million in the 2001 second quarter compared to $60.7 million in the second quarter 2000 and $62.1 million in the first quarter 2001. The 5% and 3% increase in revenue year over year and quarter over quarter, respectively, were evident in both the Company's reinforcement products and composite materials segments and reflect the continued strength in the soft body armor market and steady volume increases in wind energy and automotive components. The weak Euro reduced the growth in dollar terms of the European revenues for applications such as wind energy.
Chief Financial Officer Comments
Commenting on Hexcel's second quarter results, Mr. Stephen Forsyth, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, "2001 continues to be a year of strong contrasts in performance. The Company's revenues from commercial aerospace, space & defense and industrial markets are growing year over year. The benefit of this growth is evident in the increased profitability and operating margins of our composite materials business. The performance of our engineered products business is improving each quarter in line with our expectations. In sharp contrast, like most suppliers to the electronics industry, we are being adversely impacted by an unprecedented downturn and inventory adjustment working its way through the electronics industry."
Mr. Forsyth continued, "In April, Europe and Asia experienced steep reductions in electronics demand similar to those we started to experience in March in the United States. Customer requirements have generally remained at these much-reduced levels throughout the second quarter. Like all electronics suppliers, we continue to look for signs of improving demand and the end of the inventory correction. However, there remains limited visibility down the electronics supply chain. We are continuing to focus on additional operating cost reductions to partially offset the impact of reduced electronics demand, without jeopardizing the current and future growth in the other markets we serve."
Mr. Forsyth noted, "The third quarter is generally Hexcel's weakest quarter due to the impact of summer vacations in Europe, where Hexcel derives over 40% of its revenues. Nevertheless, we expect Hexcel's aerospace and industrial businesses to continue to reflect improved year on year performance in the quarter."
Mr. Forsyth concluded, "The increase of about $31.5 million in net debt during the quarter resulted from factors including the downturn in the electronics market and the cash costs of about $6.5 million associated with issuing additional senior subordinated notes and the subsequent retirement of other debt. We remain focused on increasing cash flow and driving debt back down over the balance of the year."
Second Quarter Net Loss
The second quarter 2001 results contained a number of non-recurring expenses that contributed to the loss for the quarter:
- In April 2001, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. John J. Lee retired due to disability. As a result, in the second quarter 2001, the Company recorded a non-recurring compensation expense of $4.7 million.
- The second quarter 2001 extraordinary expense of $3.1 million represents a non-recurring charge resulting from the early retirement of the Company's Increasing Rate Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2003 and a portion of the Company's 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2003. No tax benefit was recognized on this extraordinary expense.
- In May, the Company obtained an amendment to certain of its financial covenants under its Senior Credit Facility. As a result of fees and expenses associated with the amendment, interest expense for the second quarter 2001 was increased by about $1 million.
- The Company has reduced the tax benefit for U.S. operating losses.
With the adjustments in the Company's tax accounting, it is not possible to objectively quantify the per share impacts of these expenses. However, if these items and the business consolidation expenses were excluded from the quarter's results, the Company's pre-tax income would have been about $1.6 million.
Taxes
Since 1999, Hexcel has generated taxable profits in Europe offset by net operating losses in the United States. During the same period, Hexcel's U.S. operations have generated losses, in part, because most of Hexcel's interest expense and goodwill amortization are serviced in the United States. The Company has recorded the benefit of these net operating losses by increasing the deferred tax asset carried on its balance sheet. As of March 31, 2001, the deferred tax asset balance was $42.9 million. The sharp decline in electronics revenues and the recognition of the non-recurring charges outlined above have significantly increased U.S. net operating losses in 2001. Rather than continue to build deferred tax assets, the Company has determined to establish a valuation allowance against the benefits of net operating losses it now incurs until such time as the U.S. operations have returned to consistent profitability. As a result, the Company's tax provision of $3.8 million for the second quarter 2001 includes a European tax provision and a tax benefit on a portion of its U.S. net operating loss. Further, the Company did not recognize any tax benefit on the $3.1 million extraordinary loss recorded in the second quarter of 2001. Going forward, the Company will continue to reflect a tax provision on its European earnings. As a result, the Company's effective tax rate may change from quarter to quarter based on relative U.S. and European profitability. These adjustments in tax accounting do not change the Company's cash flows.
Equity In Earnings
The equity in earnings of affiliated companies was $0.2 million for the second quarter 2001, reflecting the initial impact of the electronics market decline on the Company's Asian reinforcement products joint venture and anticipated start-up losses associated with the engineered products ventures in China and Malaysia. The earnings contribution from the Asian reinforcement products joint venture is anticipated to show a further decline in the third quarter, that when combined with the start-up losses of the two engineered products joint ventures, will result in the Company reporting a loss for its joint venture interests in the third quarter. These changes in performance do not affect the Company's cash flows.
9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2009
On June 29, 2001, the Company issued $100.0 million of 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2009 at a price of 98.5%. Net proceeds from the offering were used to redeem $67.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's outstanding 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2003 and to pay the entire principal amount of $25.0 million of the Increasing Rate Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2003. The refinancing significantly reduced the Company's 2003 debt maturities. The net impact of the offering is estimated to increase quarterly interest expense by approximately $0.6 million before tax. The cash costs associated with these financing actions amounted to $6.5 million.
