Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing a decline in earnings per share (EPS) and sales compared to the same period last year. The company's GAAP diluted EPS for the quarter was $0.17, down from $0.60 in Q2 2024. However, the adjusted diluted EPS stood at $0.50, a decrease from $0.60 in the prior year [2].

The company's net sales for Q2 2025 were $490 million, representing a 2.1% year-over-year (YoY) decrease from $500.4 million in Q2 2024. The company attributed this decline to reduced production rates and destocking in the supply chain, particularly for the Airbus A350 program [2].

Hexcel also returned $64 million to stockholders through share repurchases and dividends during the quarter. The company's full-year 2025 guidance remains unchanged, with expected sales ranging from $1.88 billion to $1.95 billion, adjusted diluted EPS of $1.85 to $2.05, and free cash flow of approximately $190 million [2].

Chairman, CEO, and President Tom Gentile stated, "Hexcel delivered sales and adjusted EPS in line with expectations for the second quarter of 2025, based on modest sequential growth in three of our four major commercial aerospace programs, with the exception being softness in the Airbus A350 as expected and previously communicated due to production rate decreases announced by Airbus and destocking of excess inventory in the supply chain. There was continued growth in the Other Commercial Aerospace market, and we were pleased to see Defense, Space and Other providing robust growth yet again with a high single digit step-up over the second quarter of 2024" [2].
