Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:HWM) today reported fourth quarter 2022 and full year 2022 results. The Company reported fourth quarter 2022 revenues of $1.5 billion, up 18% year over year, primarily driven by growth in the commercial aerospace market of 29%.
Howmet Aerospace reported net income of $111 million, or $0.26 per share, in the fourth quarter 2022 versus net income of $77 million, or $0.18 per share, in the fourth quarter 2021. Net income excluding special items was $160 million, or $0.38 per share, in the fourth quarter 2022, versus $130 million, or $0.30 per share, in the fourth quarter 2021.

Fourth quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $336 million, up 14% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by volume growth in the commercial aerospace market. Adjusted EBITDA margin, excluding special items, was down approximately 80 basis points year over year at 22.2% while passing through approximately $55 million of additional material costs year over year. Excluding material cost pass through, adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was 23.0%.

Full year 2022 revenues were $5.7 billion, up 14% year over year, primarily driven by growth in the commercial aerospace market of 28%. Net income of $469 million, or $1.11 per share, in the full year 2022 was up versus net income of $258 million, or $0.59 per share, in the full year 2021. Net income excluding special items was $593 million, or $1.40 per share, in the full year 2022, versus $442 million, or $1.01 per share, in the full year 2021. Operating income margin was up approximately 120 basis points year over year at 16.2% in the full year 2022.
Full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $1.3 billion, up 12% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by volume growth in the commercial aerospace market. Adjusted EBITDA margin, excluding special items, was down approximately 30 basis points year over year at 22.5% while passing through approximately $225 million of additional material costs year over year. Excluding material cost pass through, adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was 23.5% and year-over-year flow through of incremental revenue to Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was strong at approximately 30%.
Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, “Howmet Aerospace delivered a solid finish to 2022. The team drove strong revenue growth and improved profitability in 2022 against a choppy backcloth with uneven aircraft and engine build rate increases and inflationary pressures. The fourth quarter 2022 marks the sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue, Adjusted EBITDA^2^, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share^2^ growth. Fourth quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA margin^2^ was a healthy 22.2%, while Adjusted Earnings Per Share^2^ matched the midpoint of guidance and grew 27% year over year.”
Mr. Plant continued, “Turning to full year 2023, currently, air travel conditions are very favorable, and airlines are experiencing strong growth, demanding new, more fuel-efficient aircraft. While industry demand is expected to be robust, Howmet Aerospace relies on aircraft and engine builds by the major OEMs, and the Company is taking a conservative view of 2023 until we see consistent build rate increases. Underpinning full year 2023 guidance are assumed monthly build rates of approximately 30 for the Boeing 737-MAX and 53 to 54 for the Airbus A320 family, and approximately 30 Boeing 787 builds and 65 to 70 Airbus A350 builds for the year.”
“Cash generation in full year 2022 was strong, supporting $400 million in common stock repurchases, $44 million in dividends paid, and $69 million in debt repurchases. Howmet Aerospace ended the year with $792 million in cash, and total debt less cash in the fourth quarter was a record low since Separation. The Company’s balance sheet has never been stronger, and continued healthy free cash flow generation supports additional capital allocation actions.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Segment Performance
Engine Products
Engine Products reported revenue of $732 million, an increase of 21% year over year, due to growth in the commercial aerospace, defense aerospace and oil and gas markets, and an increase in material cost pass through. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $191 million, up 26% year over year, driven by commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and oil and gas volumes, as well as strong productivity gains.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin increased approximately 110 basis points year over year to 26.1%.
Fastening Systems
Fastening Systems reported revenue of $285 million, an increase of 11% year over year due to growth in the commercial aerospace market with narrow body recovery as well as an increase in material cost pass through.

Howmet Aerospace believes such<br> reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. |
Full Year 2023 Guidance assumes the following aircraft build rates:
- Boeing 737-MAX: approximately 30 builds per month on average
- Airbus A320 family: approximately 53-54 builds per month on average
- Boeing 787: approximately 30 builds for the year
- Airbus A350: approximately 65-70 builds for the year

Howmet Aerospace expects higher Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items to drive growth in Adjusted Earnings per Share excluding special items in full year 2023. The Company expects the impact of higher non-cash pension expense to be offset by capital allocation actions. Capital allocation to common stock and/or debt repurchases depends on market conditions, profitability, and cash generation, among other factors.
Howmet Aerospace will hold its quarterly conference call at 10:00 AM Eastern Time on Tuesday, February 14, 2023. The call will be webcast via www.howmet.com. The press release and presentation materials will be available at approximately 7:00 AM ET on February 14, via the “Investors” section of the Howmet Aerospace website.

| Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect<br> to the Company's operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Howmet’s definition<br> of Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of<br> goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges, are excluded from net margin<br> and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after<br> taking into consideration capital expenditures (due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand the Company's asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations). It is<br> important to note that Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from<br> the measure. |

There can be no assurances that additional<br> Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Net income determined under GAAP as well as Net income excluding Special items and Diluted<br> EPS excluding Special items. | |||||||||||||||

| Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items are non-GAAP financial measures.

There can be no assurances that additional<br> Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Net income determined under GAAP as well as Net income excluding Special items and Diluted<br> EPS excluding Special items. |
