On April 25, 2023, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to refinance its senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement the borrowing capacity is $750.0 million. The Facility matures in April 2028. In connection with the refinancing, the Company incurred approximately $2.5 million in financing costs which were deferred and are amortized over the life of the Facility.

Borrowings under the Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, for Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") 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 0.10%, 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 Applicable Margin. The “Applicable Margin” initially was 1.125% for SOFR rate borrowings and 0.125% for base rate borrowings, and after September 30, 2023, can fluctuate, determined by reference to the more favorable to the Company of its (i) public debt rating and (ii) consolidated leverage ratio, as specified in the Credit Agreement. Up to $50.0 million of the Facility may be used for letters of credit. The Credit Agreement enables the Company, from time to time, to add term loans or to increase the revolving credit commitment in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500.0 million.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that place restrictions on, among other things, the incurrence of debt by any subsidiaries of the Company, granting of liens and sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

As of September 30, 2024, total borrowings under the Facility were $105.0 million, which approximated fair value. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowing under the Facility. As of September 30, 2024, there were no issued letters of credit under the Facility, resulting in undrawn availability under the Facility of $645.0 million. The weighted average interest rate for the Facility was 6.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

In 2017, the Company issued $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.95% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2027. 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 5.95%. The effective interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 4.0% inclusive of an approximately 0.25% benefit of treasury locks. Based on quoted prices the fair value of th e senior unsecured notes due in 2027 was $392.7 million at September 30, 2024.

In 2015, the Company issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.7% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2025. In accordance with ASC 470-10-45-14, the Company classified the 4.7% Senior Unsecured Notes due in August 2025 as long-term debt at September 30, 2024 due to the Company’s intent to refinance the senior notes on a long term basis and the Company’s ability to consummate such refinancing as the Company has the ability to draw on the Credit Agreement for the full amount of the Company’s obligations under the senior notes. Such borrowings would be on terms exceeding one year as the Credit Agreement matures in April 2028 and the Credit Agreement is not unilaterally cancellable by the lender. 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 6.7%. The effective interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 4.9%. Based on quoted prices, the fair value of the senior unsecured notes due in 2025 was $299.6 million at September 30, 2024.

Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swap and Interest Lock Agreements

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no interest rate swap agreements outstanding.

The Company had treasury lock agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, to protect against unfavorable movements in the benchmark treasury rate related to the issuance of our senior unsecured notes. As part of the issuance of our senior notes, we net settled these derivatives for $10 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 effect of these settled treasury locks reduces the effective interest rate on the senior notes by approximately 0.25%.

Cross Currency and Interest Rate Swap Agreements

In November 2020, we entered into a cross currency and interest rate swap, which is designated as a cash flow hedge of a €270 million, 5-year amortizing, intercompany loan between one of our European subsidiaries and the U.S. parent company. Changes in the spot exchange rates are recorded to the general ledger and offset the fair value re-measurement of the hedged item. The net difference in the interest rates coupons is recorded as a credit to interest expense. The derivative swaps €270 million bearing interest at a fixed rate of 0.30% for $319.9 million at a fixed rate interest of 1.115%. The interest coupons settle semi-annually. The principal will amortize each year on November 15, as follows: for years 1 through 4, beginning November 15, 2021, €50 million versus $59.2 million, and a final settlement on November 15, 2025 of €70 million versus $82.9 million.

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts

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 March 2027. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $368.6 million and $393.3 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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

10

reducing our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The effective portion of the hedges, gains of $13.4 million and $4.3 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and losses of $12.8 million and $4.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). We recognized losses of $0.2 million and $2.2 million in gross margin during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and losses of $1.5 million and $7.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized net foreign exchange gains of $1.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized net foreign exchange losses of $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The net foreign exchange impact recognized from these contracts offsets 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 income (loss) for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was as follows:

|  | Quarter Ended September 30, |  |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
(In millions) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Unrealized gains (losses) at beginning of period, net of tax |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 0.4 |  |  | $ | 5.3 |  |  | $ | (10.5 | )
Losses reclassified to net sales |  |  | 0.1 |  |  |  | 1.1 |  |  |  | 1.6 |  |  |  | 5.8 |
Increase (decrease) in fair value |  |  | 10.0 |  |  |  | (9.5 | ) |  |  | 3.2 |  |  |  | (3.3 | )
Unrealized gains (losses) at end of period, net of tax |  | $ | 10.1 |  |  | $ | (8.0 | ) |  | $ | 10.1 |  |  | $ | (8.0 | )

Unrealized gains of $10.1 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, less taxes of $2.6 million, as of September 30, 2024, 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 September 30, 2024, we had commodity swap agreements with a notional value of $18.2 million. The swaps mature monthly through September 2026. 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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.

11

We have no assets or liabilities that utilize Level 1 inputs. However, we have derivative instruments classified as liabilities and assets which utilize Level 2 inputs, and one liability that utilizes 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:

•
Cross Currency and Interest Rate Swap Agreements — valued using the USD Secured Overnight Financing Rate curves and quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date.
•
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 September 30, 2024 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

|  | Quarter Ended September 30, |  |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
(In millions) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Consolidated Net Sales |  | $ | 456.5 |  |  | $ | 419.5 |  |  | $ | 1,429.2 |  |  | $ | 1,331.5 |

Industrial |  |  | 32.4 |  |  |  | 38.8 |  |  |  | 107.1 |  |  |  | 138.3 |

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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:

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.

Note 11 — Commit ments 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 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. Hexcel is unable to estimate when or if the District Court will approve the Consent Decree.

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our aggregate environmental related accruals were $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, and accrued warranty cost, included in “accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were as follows:

Sales by Segment

Composite Materials: Net sales of $367.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 increased by $27.1 million or 8.0% from the prior year quarter driven by Commercial Aerospace sales which increased $37.6 million or 17.7%. Net sales of $1,155.7 million for the first nine months of 2024 increased 5.3% compared to the same period last year also driven by strong sales in Commercial Aerospace.

Engineered Products: For the third quarter of 2024, net sales of $88.9 million increased $9.9 million or 12.5% as compared to the prior year quarter. Net sales of $273.5 million for the first nine months of 2024 increased 16.7% compared to the same period last year. The increase for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 over the respective periods in the prior year was driven by higher Commercial Aerospace and Space & Defense sales.

Sales by Market

For the third quarter of 2024, Commercial Aerospace sales of $295.9 million increased 17.5% (17.0% in constant currency) compared to the third quarter of 2023. Airbus programs drove the sales growth including the A350 and A320neo. Boeing 787 sales also increased. Other Commercial Aerospace sales for the third quarter of 2024 increased 9.1% compared to the third quarter of 2023 with growth led by the latest-generation business jet sales. Sales of $915.9 million increased 14.4% (14.3% in constant currency) for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023. Growth was led by the A350, 787, and A320neo. Other Commercial Aerospace increased 5.8% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 supported by the latest-generation business jets.

Space & Defense sales of $128.2 million were relatively flat (0.9% lower in constant currency) for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023. Strength in the CH-53K and Black Hawk was offset by lower V-22 and Space sales, as well as, softer launcher, satellite and rocket motor sales. For the first nine months of 2024, Space & Defense sales of $406.2 million increased 3.5% (3.4% in constant currency) as compared to the first nine months of 2023. Key program growth including the F-35, CH-53K, Black Hawk and European military helicopter programs were partially offset by the wind down of V-22 production, and lower civilian helicopter and satellite sales.

Total Industrial sales of $32.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 decreased 16.5% (17.3% in constant currency) compared to the third quarter of 2023. Total Industrial sales of $107.1 million in the first nine months of 2024 decreased 22.6% (22.8% in constant currency) compared to the first nine months of 2023. T he decreases for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023 was due to declines in all sub-markets.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 23.3% compared to 21.8% in the third quarter of 2023 and 24.6% and 24.8% for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The third quarter 2024 improvement in gross margin as compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to favorable cost leverage from higher sales. The higher gross margin percentage in the first nine months of 2023 benefitted from favorable margin absorption and sales mix in the initial three months of the year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were higher for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 as compared to the respective periods in 2023. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by higher employee-related expenses. Research and technology expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 increased slightly compared to the same periods in 2023. The increases in both periods were due primarily to higher employee-related costs as well as expenses related to development projects.

Financial Condition

Liquidity: Cash on hand at September 30, 2024 was $98.2 million as compared to $227.0 million at December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, total debt was $805.2 million as compared to $699.5 million at December 31, 2023.

Under the Facility, total borrowings at September 30, 2024 were $105.0 million, which approximated fair value. The Facility agreement permits us to issue letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2024, there were no issued letters of credit under the Facility, resulting in undrawn availability under the Facility of $645.0 million. The weighted average interest rate for the Facility was 6.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For further information regarding our Facility, see Note 5, Debt, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements (including capital expenditures) through net cash from operating activities, cash on hand and the Facility, as well as access to capital markets. As of September 30, 2024, long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of obligations under our long-term debt obligations.

The remaining authorization under the share repurchase program at September 30, 2024 was $234.9 million. On October 21, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share payable to stockholders of record as of November 1, 2024, with a payment date of November 8, 2024.

Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2024 was $127.3 million compared to $98.1 million for the same period last year. Working capital was a cash use of $93.1 million for the first nine months of 2024 as compared to a use of $112.1 million in the same period in 2023 with the variance primarily attributable to higher payables and accruals in 2024.

Investing Activities: Net cash used for investing activities was $68.4 million and $81.6 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2024 were $68.4 million as compared to $94.4 million for the same period last year, which also included approximately $38.0 million for the acquisition of the land and building at our Amesbury, Massachusetts facility. The nine months ended September 30, 2023, also included proceeds of $10.3 million from the sale of the Windsor facility.

Financing Activities: Net cash used for financing activities was $187.8 million for first nine months of 2024 compared to a net cash use of $29.7 million in the same period in 2023. Borrowings under the credit facilities during the first nine months of 2024 were $160.0 million compared to $163.0 million in the prior year period. Repayments were $55.0 million during the first nine months of 2024 compared to $133.0 million in the prior year period. Quarterly dividend payments to shareholders were $37.2 million during the first nine months of 2024 compared to $31.7 million in the prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, repurchases of common stock totaled $252.2 million compared to $30.1 million in the same period in 2023.

Financial Obligations and Commitments: The next significant scheduled debt maturity will occur in August 2025 when our 4.7% Senior Unsecured Notes are due. Certain sales and administrative offices, data processing equipment and manufacturing facilities are leased under operating leases.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments

21

that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors management believes to be relevant at the time our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results may differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

We describe our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

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. We estimate and accrue our liabilities resulting from such matters based upon a variety of factors, including the stage of the proceeding; potential settlement value; assessments by internal and external counsel; and assessments by environmental engineers and consultants of potential environmental liabilities and remediation costs. We believe we have adequately accrued for these potential liabilities; however, facts and circumstances may change, such as new developments, or a change in approach, including a change in settlement strategy or in an environmental remediation plan, or in our existing insurance coverage, that could cause the actual liability to exceed the estimates, or may require adjustments to the recorded liability balances in the future. For further discussion, see Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including sales and expenses measured in constant dollars (prior year sales and expenses measured at current year exchange rates); operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share adjusted for items included in operating expense and non-operating expenses; and free cash flow. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are meaningful to investors because they provide a view of Hexcel with respect to ongoing operating results and comparisons to prior periods. These adjustments can represent significant charges or credits that we believe are important to an understanding of Hexcel’s overall operating results in the periods presented. Such non-GAAP measures are not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be viewed in isolation or as an alternative to or substitutes for GAAP measures of performance. Our calculation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and the measures exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Reconciliations to adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share and free cash flow are provided below.
