Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) today reported first quarter 2025 results including net sales of $457 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.37 per share.

"The underlying value proposition of Hexcel remains robust, driven by the demand for our innovative lightweight composites, which will generate strong cyclical and secular sales growth over time," said Tom Gentile, Chairman, CEO and President, Hexcel Corporation. "Hexcel’s value proposition is fortified by our extensive intellectual property, scale, and deep customer relationships globally. With a strong balance sheet and a compelling multi-year cash generation profile, Hexcel is well-positioned to navigate the current environment and for the future. However, as a result of continued supply chain driven delays in commercial aircraft production rate ramps, particularly on the Airbus A350 program, our 2025 growth will not be what we initially forecasted. As a result, we are revising our 2025 guidance."
