Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:HWM) today reported third quarter 2024 results. The Company reported third quarter 2024 revenue of $1.84 billion, up 11% year over year, primarily driven by growth in the commercial aerospace market of 17%, partially offset by declines in the commercial transportation market of 12%.
Howmet Aerospace reported net income of $332 million, or $0.81 per share, in the third quarter 2024 versus $188 million, or $0.45 per share, in the third quarter 2023. Net income included approximately $42 million in net benefits from special items in the third quarter 2024. Third quarter 2024 operating income was $421 million, up 37% year over year. Operating income margin was 22.9%, up approximately 440 basis points year over year.
Howmet Aerospace reported adjusted net income excluding special items of $290 million, or $0.71 per share, in the third quarter 2024 versus $192 million, or $0.46 per share, in the third quarter 2023. Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $487 million, up 27% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong growth in the commercial aerospace market. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was up approximately 350 basis points year over year at 26.5%. Third quarter 2024 adjusted operating income excluding special items was $419 million, up 33% year over year. Adjusted operating income margin excluding special items was 22.8%, up approximately 390 basis points year over year.
Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, “The Howmet team delivered a healthy set of results in the third quarter 2024. The results exceeded the high end of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA*, Adjusted EBITDA margin* and Adjusted earnings per share*. Revenue growth of 11% year over year took account of actions which restricted volumes shipped to the Boeing Company and notably weaker Europe market conditions impacting Forged Wheels. We are pleased that the Boeing strike was settled on November 4th, and we look forward to Boeing’s gradual production recovery. Engines spares volumes increased again in the quarter and are expected to be approximately $1.25 billion for the full year. Adjusted EBITDA* grew faster than revenue, up 27% year over year, resulting in margins up approximately 350 basis points to 26.5%. Adjusted earnings per share* grew 54%, while free cash flow was a third quarter record at $162 million.”
Mr. Plant continued, “Turning to 2025, the demand outlook for commercial aerospace remains robust, driven by healthy air traffic growth. The under-production of aircraft in recent years has resulted in a very large order backlog which, combined with the significant needs for additional engine spare parts, is supportive of future revenue growth. We expect above-trend growth in commercial aerospace to continue in 2025, while we continue to take a cautious approach to the assumed pace of new aircraft builds. We expect growth in 2025 in our defense aerospace and industrial end markets, while we assume that the commercial transportation end market will remain soft until the second half 2025. Our 2025 outlook envisions total revenue growth of approximately 7.5% year over year.”
“Howmet Aerospace’s balance sheet remains a source of strength, with leverage at a record low and free cash flow generation of approximately $600 million year to date through the third quarter 2024. Debt actions year to date will reduce annualized interest expense by approximately $33 million. The Company repurchased $100 million of common stock in the third quarter 2024 and repurchased an additional $90 million in October 2024, bringing October year-to-date repurchases to $400 million. Subject to Board approval, we also expect to increase the common stock dividend by 25% in the first quarter 2025 to $0.10 per share.”

* Excluding Special Items
1 Reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as the directly comparable GAAP measures, are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity of the charges and other components excluded from the non-GAAP measures, such as the effects of foreign currency movements, gains or losses on sales of assets, taxes, and any future restructuring or impairment charges. In addition, there is inherent variability already included in the GAAP measures, including, but not limited to, price/mix and volume. Howmet Aerospace believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. |

| (1) |
In order to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share, preferred stock dividends declared of less than $1 for the quarters presented need to be subtracted from Net income. |
|
| (2) |
For the quarters presented, the difference between the diluted average number of shares and the basic average number of shares relates to share equivalents associated with outstanding restricted stock unit awards and employee stock options. |
|
| (3) |
As average shares outstanding are used in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share, the full impact of share repurchases is not fully realized in earnings per share (“EPS”) in the period of repurchase since share repurchases may occur at varying points during a period. |

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 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 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 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 (credits), are excluded from net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate. |

The Accounts Receivable Securitization program remains unchanged at $250 outstanding.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after 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 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 the measure. |

Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of the Company excluding the impacts of Restructuring and other charges (credits), Discrete tax items, and Other special items (collectively, “Special items”). There can be no assurances that additional Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Net income and Diluted EPS determined under GAAP as well as Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items. |

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding Special items, Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding Special items, Third-party sales, and Incremental margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures are meaningful to investors because they provide additional information with respect to the Company’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company’s definition of 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 goods sold, Selling, general administrative, and other expenses, Research and development expenses, and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other are charges (credits), are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. |
