Investor Day 2024Investor Day 2 APPENDIX 97


 
Investor Day 2024 NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION 98 The Corporation supplements its financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial information. Curtiss-Wright believes that these Adjusted (non-GAAP) measures provide investors with improved transparency in order to better measure Curtiss-Wright’s ongoing operating and financial performance and better comparisons of our key financial metrics to our peers. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. Curtiss-Wright encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Reconciliations of “Reported” GAAP amounts to “Adjusted” non-GAAP amounts are furnished within the Company’s earnings press release. The following definitions are provided: Adjusted Sales, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) These Adjusted financials are defined as Reported Sales, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share under GAAP excluding: (i) the impact of first year purchase accounting costs associated with acquisitions in the prior year, specifically one-time inventory step-up, backlog amortization, deferred revenue adjustments and transaction costs; (ii) the sale or divestiture of a business or product line; (iii) one-time transition and IT security costs associated with the relocation of our Steam & Air Solutions business; (iv) the non-cash impairment of capitalized development costs related to a commercial aerospace program; (v) restructuring expenses associated with the Corporation’s FY20 restructuring plan; (vi) pension settlement charges; and (vii) significant legal settlements, impairment costs, and costs associated with shareholder activism, as applicable. Organic Sales and Organic Operating Income The Corporation discloses organic sales and organic operating income because the Corporation believes it provides investors with insight as to the Company’s ongoing business performance. Organic sales and organic operating income are defined as sales and operating income, excluding contributions from acquisitions made during the last twelve months, loss on divestiture of the German valves business, and foreign currency fluctuations. Free Cash Flow (FCF) and Free Cash Flow Conversion The Corporation discloses free cash flow because it measures cash flow available for investing and financing activities. Free cash flow represents cash available to repay outstanding debt, invest in the business, acquire businesses, return capital to shareholders and make other strategic investments. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow excludes: (i) payments associated with the Westinghouse legal settlement in both 2022 and 2023; (ii) executive pension payments in 2022; (iii) voluntary contributions to the Company’s corporate defined benefit pension plan in 2020; (iv) the cash impact from restructuring in 2020; and (v) a capital investment in a state-of-the- art naval facility in 2020. The Corporation discloses adjusted free cash flow conversion because it measures the proportion of net earnings converted into free cash flow and is defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings. EBITDA The Corporation discloses EBITDA because it is useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance. EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Leverage Ratios Adjusted Net Debt defined as Adjusted Debt less Cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted Net Debt / EBITDA defined as Adjusted Net Debt divided by LTM EBITDA.


 
Investor Day 2024 NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS 99 ADJUSTED SALES1 ADJUSTED DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE1 ADJUSTED OPERATING MARGIN1 ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW 1The adjusted amounts in 2020 and 2021 do not reflect the immaterial restatement described in the Company's Q3 2023 Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 2, 2023.
