Reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as well as the directly comparable GAAP measures, are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity of the charges and other components excluded from the non-GAAP measures – for further detail, see “2023 Guidance” below.

Key Announcements

  • In the first quarter 2023, the Company redeemed $150 million and additionally repurchased approximately $26 million of the aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Notes due 2024 (“2024 Notes”). These combined actions reduced the outstanding principal amount of the 2024 Notes by $176 million and reduce annualized interest expense by approximately $9 million.
  • In the first quarter 2023, Howmet Aerospace repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock for $25 million at an average per share price of $43.36. As of May 1, 2023, total share repurchase authorization available was $922 million.

Howmet Aerospace (NYSE: HWM) today reported first quarter 2023 results. The Company reported first quarter revenue of $1.60 billion, up 21% year over year, primarily driven by growth in the commercial aerospace market of 29%.

Howmet Aerospace reported net income of $148 million, or $0.35 per share, in the first quarter 2023 versus $131 million, or $0.31 per share, in the first quarter 2022. Net income excluding special items was $175 million, or $0.42 per share, in the first quarter 2023, versus $132 million, or $0.31 per share, in the first quarter 2022. Adjusted earnings per share excluding special items grew 35% year over year. Net income included approximately $25 million in net charges from special items, principally related to an approximately $20 million charge for a tax reserve established in France and costs associated with past plant fires. Operating income margin was up approximately 40 basis points year over year at 17.8% in the first quarter 2023.

First quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $360 million, up 20% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by volume growth in the commercial aerospace market. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was down approximately 20 basis points year over year at 22.5% and included approximately $35 million of additional inflationary cost pass through year over year. Excluding year over year inflationary cost pass through, Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was 23.0%.

Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, “Howmet Aerospace delivered a solid start to 2023. First quarter 2023 revenue grew 21% year over year and exceeded the high end of our guidance range. Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted Earnings Per Share* also exceeded the high end of guidance and grew 20% and 35% year over year, respectively, demonstrating continued healthy operational execution as the aerospace recovery continues.”

Mr. Plant continued, “The demand picture continues to be strong for commercial aerospace, with higher aircraft production rates underpinned by continued growth in air traffic. We are encouraged by progress at aircraft OEM customers to meet their higher build rate targets. Given our strong first quarter and improving aerospace backcloth, we are increasing full year 2023 guidance for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA*, Adjusted Earnings Per Share*, and Free Cash Flow.”

“The Company’s balance sheet remains strong, further enhanced by $176 million of debt reduction in the first quarter 2023. Howmet Aerospace also continued to return cash to shareholders through $25 million in share repurchases in addition to the common stock dividend. A healthy free cash flow outlook supports continued capital allocation actions.”

Reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as the directly comparable GAAP measures, are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity of the charges and other components excluded from the non-GAAP measures, such as the effects of foreign currency movements, gains or losses on sales of assets, taxes, and any future restructuring or impairment charges. In addition, there is inherent variability already included in the GAAP measures, including, but not limited to, price/mix and volume. Howmet Aerospace believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Howmet Aerospace expects higher Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items to drive growth in Adjusted Earnings per Share excluding special items in full year 2023. The Company expects the impact of higher non-cash pension expense to be offset by capital allocation actions. Capital allocation to common stock repurchases and/or debt reduction depends on market conditions, profitability, and cash generation, among other factors.

Howmet Aerospace will hold its quarterly conference call at 10:00 AM Eastern Time on Tuesday, May 2, 2023. The call will be webcast via www.howmet.com. The press release and presentation materials will be available at approximately 7:00 AM ET on May 2, via the “Investors” section of the Howmet Aerospace website. A link to the press release will also be available via Howmet Aerospace’s Twitter handle @HowmetAerospace at https://twitter.com/howmetaerospace.

Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to the Company's operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Howmet’s definition of Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges, are excluded from net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Corporate expense included $5 of costs related to fires at two plants and ($3) of reimbursement related to legal and advisory charges. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, Corporate expense included $2 of costs related to fires at two plants and $1 of costs associated with closures, shutdowns, and other items. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, Corporate expense included $25 of costs related to fires at three plants and $1 of costs associated with closures, shutdowns, and other items. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company’s cast house in Barberton, Ohio, which produces aluminum ingot used in the production of wheels for the North American commercial transportation market, experienced a mechanical failure resulting in substantial heat and fire-related damage to equipment. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Corporate expense included $4 of costs related to fires at three plants, net of reimbursement, and $1 of costs associated with closures, shutdowns, and other items. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Corporate expense included $4 of costs related to fires at two plants and $1 of costs associated with closures, shutdowns, and other items.

The Accounts Receivable Securitization program remains unchanged at $250 outstanding.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures (due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand the Company's asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations). It is important to note that Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.

Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of the Company excluding the impacts of Restructuring and other charges, Discrete tax items, and Other special items (collectively, “Special items”). There can be no assurances that additional Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Net income determined under GAAP as well as Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items.

(1)

Discrete tax items for each period included the following:

 

  • for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, a net benefit for other small items ($2);
  • for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, a charge to record a valuation allowance related to U.S. foreign tax credits $12, a benefit related to a tax depreciation accounting method change in the U.S. ($5), and a net benefit for other small items ($4); and
  • for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, a charge for a tax reserve established in France $20 and a net charge for other small items $1.

(2)

The Tax impact on Special items is based on the applicable statutory rates whereby the difference between such rates and the Company’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate is itself a Special item.
