CURTISS-WRIGHT REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND RAISES FULL-YEAR 2026 GUIDANCE

DAVIDSON, N.C. – August 5, 2026 – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) reports financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights:

•Reported sales of $924 million, up 5%, operating income of $179 million, operating margin of 19.3%, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $4.07;

•Adjusted operating income of $179 million, up 12%;

•Adjusted operating margin of 19.4%, up 110 basis points;

•Adjusted diluted EPS of $3.72, up 15%;

•New orders of $1.1 billion, up 8%, reflecting a 1.16x book-to-bill; and

•Free cash flow (FCF) of $160 million, generating 116% FCF conversion.

Raised Full-Year 2026 Adjusted Financial Outlook:

•Sales increased to new range of 8% to 9% growth (previously 7% to 8%), reflecting growth in the majority of Curtiss-Wright's end markets;

•Operating income increased to new range of 11% to 13% growth (previously 9% to 12%);

•Operating margin increased to new range of 19.1% to 19.3% (previously 19.0% to 19.2%), representing an increase of 50 to 70 basis points compared with the prior year;

•Diluted EPS increased to new range of $15.10 to $15.40, now up 14% to 16% (previously $14.90 to $15.30, up 13% to 16%); and

•FCF increased by $5 million to new range of $585 to $605 million, which continues to reflect greater than 105% FCF conversion.

"Curtiss-Wright delivered strong second quarter results, highlighted by mid-single digit revenue growth, operating margin expansion in all three segments, mid-teens growth in Adjusted diluted EPS, and better-than-expected free cash flow generation," said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "The momentum continues to build in our order book, underscored by record demand for our defense electronics products. Overall, we experienced strong order growth in both our A&D and Commercial markets, as total orders increased 8% year-over-year and resulted in an overall book-to-bill of 1.16x."

"Based on our strong first-half execution and our outlook for the remainder of the year, we are confidently raising our full-year outlook for sales, operating income, operating margin, diluted EPS and free cash flow. Curtiss-Wright remains strategically aligned with many favorable secular trends and embedded growth vectors across our A&D and Commercial markets. Overall, the team is successfully executing on our Pivot to Growth strategy, which will enable us to continue to deliver significant long-term profitable growth for Curtiss-Wright stakeholders."

•Sales of $924 million increased 5% compared with the prior year period;

•Total Aerospace & Defense (A&D) market sales increased 6%, while total Commercial market sales increased 5%;

•In our A&D markets, we experienced solid growth in the defense markets, principally driven by higher naval defense revenues, overall higher sales of electromechanical actuation equipment and continued strong OEM sales growth in the commercial aerospace market;

•Adjusted operating income of $179 million increased 12%, while Adjusted operating margin increased 110 basis points to 19.4%. This performance was driven by favorable absorption on higher revenues, favorable mix in the Aerospace & Industrial and Defense Electronics segments, and the benefits of the Company's restructuring initiatives, partially offset by higher investment in research and development.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)

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 provide more relevant 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 this release.

The following definitions are provided:

Adjusted Sales, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted EPS

These Adjusted financials are defined as Reported 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, specifically one-time inventory step-up, backlog amortization, deferred revenue adjustments, transaction costs, and gains/losses on equity securities held for investment purposes; (ii) costs associated with the Company's 2026 Restructuring Program in the current period and the Company's 2024 Restructuring Program in the prior period, as applicable; and (iii) a current period gain on equity securities held for investment purposes.

10 | August 6, 2026 | Proprietary | © 2026 Curtiss-Wright 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 provide more relevant 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 EPS These Adjusted financials are defined as Reported 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, specifically one-time inventory step-up, backlog amortization, deferred revenue adjustments, transaction costs, and gains/losses on equity securities held for investment purposes; (ii) costs associated with the Company's 2026 Restructuring Program in the current period and the Company's 2024 Restructuring Program in the prior period, as applicable; and (iii) a current period gain on equity securities held for investment purposes. 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 and results of operations from divested businesses or product lines during the last twelve months, costs associated with the Company's 2026 Restructuring Program in the current period and the Company's 2024 Restructuring Program in the prior period, 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 net capital expenditures. The Corporation discloses free cash flow conversion because it measures the proportion of net earnings converted into free cash flow and is defined as free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.
