We have nonqualified defined benefit retirement plans covering certain current and former employees that are funded as benefits are incurred. Expense related to the defined benefit retirement plans for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Expense related to the defined benefit retirement plans for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefit Plans
We provide certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to eligible retirees. Depending upon the plan, benefits are available to eligible employees who retire after meeting certain age and service requirements and were employed by Hexcel as of February 1996. Our funding policy for the postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans is generally to pay covered expenses as they are incurred. Net periodic benefit costs of our postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were not material.

Total debt $ 959.4 $ 993.0
On March 31, 2026, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to refinance its senior unsecured credit facility (the “Facility”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement the borrowing capacity remained at $750 million. The Facility matures on March 31, 2031. In connection with the refinancing, the Company incurred approximately $1.9 million in financing costs which were deferred and will be amortized over the term of the Facility. In addition, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $0.3 million in Other expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for closing costs related to the refinancing.
Borrowings under the Facility bear interest, at Hexcel’s option, for SOFR rate borrowings at (i) an Adjusted Term SOFR rate (subject to a 0.00% floor), where such “Adjusted Term SOFR” rate is equal to the Term SOFR rate for the applicable interest period, plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) for base rate borrowings, the greatest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, in each case plus the
8
Applicable Margin. The “Applicable Margin” initially was 1.125% for SOFR rate borrowings and 0.125% for base rate borrowings, and after the date on which the Agent received a compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026, can fluctuate, determined by reference to the more favorable to Hexcel of its (x) public debt rating and (y) consolidated leverage ratio, as specified in the Credit Agreement. Up to $50 million of the Facility may be used for letters of credit. The Credit Agreement enables Hexcel, from time to time, to add term loans or to increase the revolving credit commitment in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500 million.
As of June 30, 2026, total borrowings under the Facility were $265.0 million which approximated fair value. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowing under the Facility. As of June 30, 2026, there were no issued letters of credit under the Facility, resulting in undrawn availability under the Facility of $485.0 million. The weighted average interest rate for the Facility was 4.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2026.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company issued $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.9% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2031. The interest rate on these senior notes may be increased by 0.25% each time a credit rating applicable to the notes is downgraded. The maximum rate is 6.9%. Interest on the notes will be payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2026. The effective interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 5.1%. The issuance of these senior notes resulted in the Company incurring financing fees of $3.9 million that have been deferred and will be recognized over the term of the senior notes. Based on quoted prices, the fair value of the 4.9% Senior Unsecured Notes was $398.7 million at June 30, 2026.
In conjunction with the issuance of the 4.9% Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company redeemed the $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.95% Senior Unsecured Notes that were due in February 2027. The redemption of these senior notes resulted in debt extinguishment costs of $0.7 million which were recorded in Other expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2035. The interest rate on these senior notes may be increased by 0.25% each time a credit rating applicable to the notes is downgraded. The maximum rate is 7.875%. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 26 and August 26 of each year, beginning on August 26, 2025. The effective interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 6.0% inclusive of an approximately 0.10% benefit of treasury locks. The issuance of these senior notes resulted in the Company incurring financing fees of $3.9 million that have been deferred and will be recognized over the term of the senior notes. Based on quoted prices, the fair value of the 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes was $310.2 million at June 30, 2026.
In conjunction with the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company redeemed the $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.7% Senior Unsecured Notes that were due in August 2025. The redemption of these senior notes resulted in debt extinguishment costs of $0.4 million which were recorded in Other expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company entered into treasury lock agreements to protect against unfavorable movements in the benchmark treasury rate related to the issuance of our 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes. These hedges were designated as cash flow hedges, thus any change in fair value was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). As part of the issuance of our 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes, we net settled these derivatives for $3.6 million in cash and the deferred gains recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) will be released to interest expense over the life of the senior notes. The remaining balance of deferred gains as of June 30, 2026 was approximately $3.1 million. The effect of the settled treasury locks reduces the effective interest rate of the senior notes by approximately 0.10%.
During the second quarter of 2026, in conjunction with the redemption of the $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.95% Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company recognized a gain of $0.8 million which was recorded in Other (income) expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This amount related to the accelerated recognition of previously deferred gains for treasury lock agreements which the Company entered into to protect against unfavorable movements in the benchmark treasury rate related to the issuance of our 3.95% Senior Unsecured Notes in 2017. The deferred gains were being amortized over the life of the 3.95% Senior Unsecured Notes and recognized as a reduction to interest expense.
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
9
A number of our European subsidiaries are exposed to the impact of exchange rate volatility between the U.S. dollar and the subsidiaries’ functional currencies, being either the Euro or the British pound sterling. We have entered into contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for Euros and British pound sterling through December 2028. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $395.9 million and $403.4 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge a portion of the forecasted transactions of our European subsidiaries under long-term sales contracts with certain customers. These contracts are expected to provide us with a more balanced matching of future cash receipts and expenditures by currency, thereby reducing our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The effective portion of the hedges, losses of $1.5 million and $9.2 million were recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and gains of $27.9 million and $39.8 million were recorded for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. We recognized gains of $2.3 million and $6.1 million in gross margin during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and gains of $3.4 million and $1.8 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
In addition, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts which are not designated as hedges. These are used to provide an offset to transactional gains or losses arising from the remeasurement of non-functional monetary assets and liabilities such as accounts receivable. The change in the fair value of the derivatives is recorded in the Statement of Operations. There are no credit contingency features in these derivatives. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized net foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million and gains of $0.2 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized net foreign exchange losses of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The net foreign exchange impact recognized from these hedges offset the translation exposure of these transactions.
The change in fair value of our foreign currency forward exchange contracts under hedge designations recorded net of tax within accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 was as follows:
Quarters Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions) 2026 2025 2026 2025
Unrealized gains (losses) at beginning of period, net of tax $ 1.9 $ 2.1 $ 10.5 $ (7.9 )
(Gains) losses reclassified to net sales (2.1 ) (2.5 ) (5.1 ) (1.4 )
Increase (decrease) in fair value (0.6 ) 20.6 (6.2 ) 29.5
Unrealized (losses) gains at end of period, net of tax $ (0.8 ) $ 20.2 $ (0.8 ) $ 20.2
Unrealized gains of $0.9 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, less taxes of $0.2 million, as of June 30, 2026, are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months as the hedged sales are recorded.
Commodity Swap Agreements
We use commodity swap agreements to hedge against price fluctuations of raw materials, including propylene (the principal component of acrylonitrile). As of June 30, 2026, we had commodity swap agreements with a notional value of $18.4 million. The swaps mature monthly through May 2028. The swaps are accounted for as a cash flow hedge of our forward raw material purchases. To ensure the swaps are highly effective, all of the critical terms of the swap matched the terms of the hedged items.
The fair values of outstanding derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a hierarchy for observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value, into three broad levels, which are described below:
•Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
•Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider our own and counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.
We have no assets or liabilities that utilize Level 3 inputs.
For derivative assets and liabilities that utilize Level 2 inputs, we prepare estimates of future cash flows of our derivatives, which are discounted to a net present value. The estimated cash flows and the discount factors used in the valuation model are based on observable inputs and incorporate non-performance risk (the credit standing of the counterparty when the derivative is in a net asset position, and the credit standing of Hexcel when the derivative is in a net liability position). For further information on the fair value of our derivative financial instruments see Note 6, Derivative Financial Instruments. In addition, the fair value of these derivative contracts, which are subject to a master netting arrangement under certain circumstances, is presented on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Below is a summary of valuation techniques for all Level 2 financial assets and liabilities:
•Foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities — valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date.
•Commodity swap agreements — valued using quoted forward commodity prices at the reporting date.
Counterparties to the above contracts are highly rated financial institutions, none of which experienced any significant downgrades in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that would reduce the receivable amount owed, if any, to the Company.
Note 8 — Revenue
Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of inventory under long-term contracts with our customers. We have determined that individual purchase orders (“PO”), the terms and conditions of which are taken with a master agreement, create the ASC 606 contracts, which are generally short-term in nature. For those sales that are not tied to a long-term agreement, we generate a PO that is subject to our standard terms and conditions. In instances where our customers acquire our goods related to government contracts, the contracts are typically subject to terms similar, or equal to, the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 52.249-2. This regulation contains a termination for convenience clause (“T for C”), which requires that the customer pay for the cost of both the finished and unfinished goods at the time of cancellation plus a reasonable profit.
We recognize revenue over time for those agreements that have T for C, and where the products being produced have no alternative use. As our production cycle is typically nine months or less, it is expected that goods related to the revenue recognized over time will be shipped and billed within the next twelve months. Less than half of our agreements contain provisions which would require revenue to be recognized over time. All other revenue is recognized at a point in time.
We disaggregate our revenue based on market for analytical purposes. The following table details our revenue by market for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
Quarters Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions) 2026 2025 2026 2025
Consolidated Net Sales $ 529.3 $ 489.9 $ 1,030.8 $ 946.4

Revenue recognized over time gives rise to contract assets, which represent revenue recognized but unbilled. Contract assets are included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of current assets. The activity related to contract assets for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was as follows:
(In millions) Composite Material Engineered Products Total

Accounts receivable, net, includes amounts billed to customers where the right to payment is unconditional.
Note 9 — Segment Information
The financial results for our operating segments are prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which we internally segregate financial information for the purpose of assisting in making internal operating decisions. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on operating income, and generally account for intersegment sales based on arm’s length prices. Corporate and certain other expenses are not allocated to the operating segments, except to the extent that the expense can be directly attributable to the business segment.
We have two reportable segments: Composite Materials and Engineered Products. The Composite Materials segment is comprised of our carbon fiber, specialty reinforcements, resin systems, prepregs and other fiber-reinforced matrix materials, and honeycomb core product lines and pultruded profiles. The Engineered Products segment is comprised of lightweight high strength composite structures, radio frequency/electromagnetic interference (“RF/EMI”) and microwave absorbing materials, engineered core and specialty machined honeycomb products with added functionality.
Financial information for our operating segments for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in litigation, investigations and claims arising out of the normal conduct of our business, including those relating to commercial transactions, environmental, employment and health and safety matters. While it is impossible to predict the ultimate resolution of litigation, investigations and claims asserted against us, we believe, based upon our examination of currently available information, our experience to date, and advice from legal counsel, that, after taking into account our existing insurance coverage and amounts already provided for, the currently pending legal proceedings against us will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
We have been named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to the below and other hazardous waste disposal sites that we do not own or possess, which are included on, or proposed to be included on, the Superfund National Priority List of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or on equivalent lists of various state governments. Because the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”) allows for joint and several liability in certain circumstances, we could be responsible for all remediation costs at such sites, even if we are one of many PRPs. We believe, based on the amount and nature of the hazardous waste at issue, and the number of other financially viable PRPs at each site, that our liability in connection with such environmental matters will not be material.
Lower Passaic River Study Area
Hexcel, together with approximately 48 other PRPs that comprise the Lower Passaic Cooperating Parties Group (the “CPG”), are subject to a May 2007 Administrative Order on Consent (“AOC”) with the EPA requiring the CPG to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study of environmental conditions of a 17-mile stretch of the Passaic River in New Jersey (the “Lower Passaic River”). We were included in the CPG based on our operations at our former manufacturing site in Lodi, New Jersey.
In March 2016, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (“ROD”) setting forth the EPA’s selected remedy for the lower eight miles of the Lower Passaic River at an expected cost ranging from $0.97 billion to $2.07 billion. In August 2017, the EPA appointed an independent third-party allocation expert to make recommendations on the relative liability of approximately 120 identified non-government PRPs for the lower eight miles of the Lower Passaic River. In December 2020, the allocator issued its non-binding report on PRP liability (including Hexcel’s) to the EPA. In October 2021, the EPA released a ROD selecting an interim remedy for the upper nine miles of the Lower Passaic River at an expected additional cost ranging from $308.7 million to $661.5 million.
In October 2016, pursuant to a settlement agreement with the EPA, Occidental Chemical Corporation (“OCC”), one of the PRPs, commenced performance of the remedial design required by the ROD for the lower eight miles of the Lower Passaic River, reserving its right of cost contribution from all other PRPs. In June 2018, OCC filed suit against approximately 120 parties, including Hexcel, in the U.S. District Court of the District of New Jersey seeking cost recovery and contribution under CERCLA related to the Lower Passaic River. In July 2019, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. In August 2020, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment for certain claims. Discovery for the remaining claims has been stayed indefinitely based on agreement of the parties. On February 24, 2021, Hexcel and certain other defendants filed a third-party complaint against the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission and certain New Jersey municipalities seeking recovery of Passaic-related cleanup costs incurred by defendants, as well as contribution for any cleanup costs incurred by OCC for which the court deems the defendants
15
liable. In March 2023, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order (“UAO”) to OCC ordering OCC to commence remedial design work for the interim remedy for the cleanup of the upper nine miles of the Lower Passaic River. On March 24, 2023, OCC filed suit against Hexcel and approximately 38 other parties claiming cost recovery under CERCLA for future costs related to its compliance with the UAO. On January 5, 2024, the U.S. District Court stayed the foregoing claim initiated by OCC until the completion of the Passaic-related Consent Decree process.
On December 16, 2022, the EPA lodged a Consent Decree with the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey requesting court approval of a $150 million settlement of the EPA’s CERCLA claims against Hexcel and 83 other PRPs for costs related to alleged contamination of the upper and lower portions of the Lower Passaic River. The 84 PRPs have collectively placed $150 million in escrow, pending District Court approval of the Consent Decree. In December 2024, the District Court granted the issuance of the Consent Decree, however, this decision has been appealed. Briefing on the appeal was completed in January 2026.
Summary of Environmental Reserves
Our estimate of liability as a PRP and our remaining costs associated with our responsibility to remediate the Lower Passaic River and other sites are accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our aggregate environmental related accruals were $0.1 million. These amounts were included in non-current liabilities.
These accruals can change significantly from period to period due to such factors as additional information on the nature or extent of contamination, the methods of remediation required, changes in the apportionment of costs among responsible parties and other actions by governmental agencies or private parties, or the impact, if any, of being named in a new matter.
Product Warranty
We provide standard assurance-type warranties for our products, which cannot be purchased separately and do not meet the criteria to be considered a performance obligation. Warranty expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and accrued warranty cost, included in “accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were as follows:

Note 13 — Capital Stock
On February 19, 2024, the Board approved a $300 million share repurchase plan (the “2024 Share Repurchase Plan”). As of December 31, 2025, the 2024 Share Repurchase Plan was fully utilized. The repurchases of the Company’s common stock under the 2024 Share Repurchase Plan were made in open market transactions, block transactions, privately negotiated purchase transactions or other purchase techniques at the discretion of management based upon consideration of market, business, legal, accounting, and other factors.
On October 22, 2025, the Board approved an additional $600 million share repurchase plan (the "2025 Share Repurchase Plan"), and, as part of the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan, the Company entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (the "ASR") to purchase an aggregate of $350 million of the Company's common stock. On October 24, 2025, the Company paid Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (together with Bank of America, the “Counterparties”) an aggregate amount of $350 million and received an initial delivery of approximately 3.95 million shares of the Company's common stock, representing 80% of the shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR agreement, at a price of $70.95 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on October 24, 2025.
The final settlement under the ASR program with Bank of America occurred on February 27, 2026 and with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC on March 3, 2026, at which time we received additional shares of approximately 0.57 million. In total, we received 4.52 million shares under the ASR agreement. The total shares received were calculated based on a price per share of $77.38 per share which was based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreements, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreements.
During the second quarter of 2026, there were no repurchases of Company shares. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $380.6 million available for additional repurchases under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan.
