"Curtiss-Wright concluded a record-setting year with a strong fourth quarter financial performance that was highlighted by double-digit organic sales growth, adjusted operating margin of 19.7%, mid-teens growth in adjusted diluted EPS, and record quarterly free cash flow generation," said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
"Our full-year 2025 performance reflected the continued momentum that we are generating under our Pivot to Growth strategy. We delivered record-high sales and operating income, 110 basis points in operating margin expansion, and 21% growth in adjusted diluted EPS, as we maintained our commitment to operational excellence and targeted investments across the portfolio. In addition, we achieved record free cash flow of $554 million, which reflected our overall growth in profitability and the team’s relentless focus on reducing working capital. We also experienced strong demand across our A&D and Commercial Nuclear markets, which enabled the team to drive record new orders of $4.1 billion, providing continued confidence in our future top-line growth."
Curtiss-Wright Corporation, Page 2
"Looking ahead, our strong backlog entering the year, combined with the alignment of our technologies to favorable secular growth trends, underpins our expectation to deliver total organic sales growth of 6% to 8% and another strong operational performance in 2026. Additionally, we anticipate operating margin expansion of 30 to 60 basis points to a range of 18.9% to 19.2%, diluted EPS growth of 11% to 15%, and strong free cash flow generation, while continuing to increase both R&D and capital investments. This outlook reinforces our confidence in achieving the three-year financial targets that we communicated at our 2024 Investor Day and in our ability to drive long-term shareholder value."

•Sales of $947 million increased 15% compared with the prior year;
•Total A&D market sales increased 16%, while total Commercial market sales increased 13%;
•In our A&D markets, we experienced mid-teens growth in our defense markets, driven by an acceleration of revenues in ground and naval defense, higher sales of international arresting systems equipment in aerospace defense, and strong OEM sales growth in the commercial aerospace market;
•In our Commercial markets, strong growth in the power & process market reflected the contribution from our prior-year acquisition, higher organic sales of commercial nuclear solutions and strong growth in industrial valve sales in the process market, while sales in the general industrial market were essentially flat; and
•Adjusted operating income of $187 million increased 14%, while Adjusted operating margin of 19.7% was essentially flat compared with the prior-year period, as favorable overhead absorption on higher revenues in all three segments and the benefits of the Company's ongoing operational excellence initiatives were offset by unfavorable mix in both the Aerospace & Industrial and Naval & Power segments.

•Growth in our defense markets was principally driven by higher sales of electromechanical actuation equipment in the ground defense market;

•Aerospace defense market revenues were essentially flat, as increased sales of embedded computing and flight test instrumentation equipment to various international customers was offset by the timing of revenues on various domestic fighter jet and UAV programs;

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 2024 Restructuring Program, as applicable.

10 | February 12, 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 2024 and 2026 Restructuring Programs, 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 2024 and 2026 Restructuring Programs, 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.
