Last earnings call, Aug 5, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Curtiss-Wright reported a strong second quarter 2026 with sales of $924 million (up ~5% YoY), operating income up 12% and diluted EPS up 15%. Free cash flow was $160 million (up 37% YoY) with a 115% cash conversion rate. Management emphasized record backlog and strong order growth (orders +8% overall; Defense Electronics orders up ~47% YoY and order book up ~30% YTD), and raised full-year earnings and sales guidance. Segment highlights: Aerospace & Industrial (A&I) sales +12% with margin expansion driven by aerospace defense actuation/sensors and OEM commercial aerospace; Defense Electronics sales modestly down but orders very strong and margins expanded to ~28%. Management reiterated confidence in the ‘pivot to growth’ strategy, highlighted an $80 million multiyear Chesapeake facility expansion supported in part by maritime industrial base funding (~$95M awarded to Curtiss-Wright), and emphasized continued R&D investment. Supply chain pressures (chips, some rare earths) were acknowledged but described as managed, with priority allocations (Micron) and inventory actions. Management described near-term lumpiness in Defense Electronics revenue due to order timing (flat to down in Q3, large Q4 expected) but sees sustained demand across defense, commercial aerospace ramp, and improving industrial vehicle markets. M&A remains a top capital priority but management is disciplined given high market multiples.
- Guidance
- Management raised full-year earnings guidance (exact revised EPS not disclosed on the call) and lifted sales guidance by approximately $15–$17 million. They reiterated a full-year commercial aerospace sales growth guide of ~10–12% and noted A&I margin expansion expected in the second half (management referenced ~20% second-half margin for A&I in Q&A context). Defense Electronics: management expects relatively flat-to-down revenue in Q3 due to timing and a very strong Q4. Management expects continued strong order momentum into Q3 and Q4 and anticipates the first AP1000 (commercial nuclear) order this year.
- Risks flagged
- Supply chain pressures (semiconductor availability and some rare earth/material constraints), timing/lumpiness of Defense Electronics orders (CR-related delays earlier in the year), macro/market uncertainty impacting M&A (frothy valuations), and general industry cyclicality. These were cited as headwinds that could affect near-term revenue timing and margins.
