•Adjusted operating margin of 18.3%, up 130 basis points;
•Adjusted diluted EPS of $3.23, up 21%;

•Free cash flow (FCF) of $117 million.
Raised Full-Year 2025 Adjusted Financial Outlook:
•Sales guidance increased to new range of 9% to 10% growth (previously 8% to 9%), which continues to reflect growth in the majority of Curtiss-Wright's end markets;
•Operating income guidance increased to new range of 15% to 18% growth (previously 13% to 16%);
•Operating margin guidance range increased by 20 basis points to 18.5% to 18.7%, now up 100 to 120 basis points compared with the prior year;

"Curtiss-Wright delivered a strong second quarter, highlighted by double-digit revenue growth in both our total A&D and Commercial markets, significant operating margin expansion, greater than 20% growth in Adjusted diluted EPS, and better-than-expected free cash flow generation," said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "Our results also reflected the benefits of the Company's ongoing restructuring and operational excellence initiatives, and our dedication to making continued investments that drive profitable growth."
"Based on the strong first-half results and our outlook for the remainder of 2025, we have increased our full-year Adjusted guidance for sales, operating income, diluted EPS and free cash flow. We are successfully executing our Pivot to Growth strategy and building strong momentum to compound sustained profitable growth. In addition, we remain extremely well aligned to many favorable secular growth trends across our markets, today and well into the future."

•Sales of $877 million increased 12% compared with the prior year period;
•Total A&D market sales increased 12%, while total Commercial market sales increased 10%;
•In our A&D markets, stronger than expected growth in the defense markets was driven by higher submarine revenues in naval defense and increased sales of defense electronics products, as well as higher OEM sales in the commercial aerospace market;
•In our Commercial markets, strong growth in the power & process market was principally driven by the contribution from our Ultra Energy acquisition and higher organic sales of commercial nuclear products, while sales in the general industrial market were flat; and
•Adjusted operating income of $160 million increased 20%, while Adjusted operating margin increased 130 basis points to 18.3%, driven by favorable overhead absorption on higher revenues in all three segments, the benefits of the Company's restructuring and operational excellence initiatives, favorable mix in the Naval & Power segment, and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by higher investment in research and development.

•Sales of $384 million, up $61 million, or 19%;
•Revenue growth in the naval defense market was principally driven by our strong order book and the timing of revenues on the Columbia-class submarine program, in addition to increased revenues supporting next-generation submarine development and higher sales of aircraft handling systems equipment to international customers;
•Higher power & process market revenues mainly reflected the contribution from our prior year acquisition to our commercial nuclear and process markets, as well as higher organic sales of commercial nuclear products supporting the maintenance of existing operating reactors and the development of next-generation advanced reactors; and
•Adjusted operating income was $64 million, up 36% from the prior year, while adjusted operating margin increased 210 basis points to 16.5%, due to favorable absorption on higher revenues and favorable mix of products, 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 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 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.

Q2 2025 Earnings Presentation NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION 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 Restructuring Program, 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 Restructuring Program, 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. 11
