CURTISS-WRIGHT REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND RAISES FULL-YEAR 2026 GUIDANCE FOR SALES, OPERATING MARGIN, EPS AND FREE CASH FLOW

DAVIDSON, N.C. – May 6, 2026 – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights:

•Reported sales of $914 million, up 13%, operating income of $160 million, up 23%, operating margin of 17.5%, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.46;

•Adjusted operating income of $160 million, up 20%;

•Adjusted operating margin of 17.6%, up 100 basis points;

•Adjusted diluted EPS of $3.48, up 23%; and

•New orders of $1.2 billion, up 16%, reflecting a 1.3x book-to-bill.

Raised Full-Year 2026 Adjusted Financial Outlook:

•Sales guidance increased to new range of 7% to 8% growth (previously 6% to 8%), which continues to reflect growth in the majority of Curtiss-Wright's end markets;

•Operating income guidance increased to new range of 9% to 12% growth (previously 8% to 11%);

•Operating margin guidance range increased to new range of 19.0% to 19.2%, representing an increase of 40 to 60 basis points compared with the prior year;

•Diluted EPS guidance increased to new range of $14.90 to $15.30, now up 13% to 16% (previously $14.70 to $15.15, or 11% to 15%); and

•Free cash flow (FCF) guidance range increased by $5 million to $580 million to $600 million, which continues to reflect greater than 105% FCF conversion.

"Curtiss-Wright delivered strong first quarter 2026 results, exceeding our overall expectations, highlighted by double-digit sales growth in both our total A&D and Commercial end markets, significant operating margin expansion, 23% growth in adjusted diluted EPS, and better-than-expected free cash flow generation," said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "We also achieved strong momentum in orders, up 16% year-over-year, which resulted in a 1.3x book-to-bill, underpinned by heightened demand across our defense, commercial nuclear and industrial markets."

"Based upon our overall strong start to the year, we have confidently increased our full-year 2026 guidance ranges for sales, operating income, operating margin, diluted EPS and free cash flow. Additionally, as we successfully execute on our Pivot to Growth strategy, we continue to maintain an efficient balance sheet, with ample liquidity, to support our disciplined capital allocation strategy. Overall, Curtiss-Wright remains strategically aligned with many favorable secular growth trends across our markets and well positioned to deliver long-term profitable growth for our shareholders."

•Total Aerospace & Defense (A&D) market sales increased 14%, while total Commercial market sales increased 12%;

•Commercial aerospace market revenue growth principally reflected higher sales of aerospace instrumentation equipment to OEM customers; and

•Adjusted operating income was $72 million, up 7% from the prior year, while Adjusted operating margin increased 60 basis points to 28.1%, primarily due to favorable absorption on higher revenues, mix of products, and the benefits of the Company's restructuring initiatives, partially offset by higher investment in research and development and unfavorable foreign currency translation.

•Higher revenue in the aerospace defense market reflected increased sales of arresting systems equipment supporting international customers;

•Higher power & process market revenues reflected higher sales of commercial nuclear solutions supporting both the maintenance of existing operating reactors globally, as well as next-generation advanced reactors, as these projects begin to transition from development to the initial prototype stage; and

•Adjusted operating income was $60 million, up 33% from the prior year, while Adjusted operating margin increased 140 basis points to 14.9%, primarily due to favorable absorption on higher revenues, mix of products, 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; and (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.

10 | May 7, 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 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 Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share (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; and (ii) costs associated with the Company's 2026 Restructuring Program in the current period and Company's 2024 Restructuring Program in the prior period, 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 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 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 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.
