Segment Information

Note 18 Segment Information

We report two segments, Composite Materials and Engineered Products. Corporate and certain other expenses are not allocated to the segments, except to the extent that the expense can be directly attributable to the segment. Corporate & Other is shown to reconcile to Hexcel’s consolidated results. Hexcel’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Thomas C. Gentile III, is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision-Maker ("CODM"). He assesses the performance of the Company’s entire business, as well as the individual segments, and is the ultimate decision maker in allocating resources within the Company. The CODM has leadership teams, organized along the various functions/lines of our business, with whom he regularly reviews and assesses segment operations and performance.

The financial results for our 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 segments based on operating income, and generally account for intersegment sales based on arm’s length prices. Specifically, the CODM uses operating income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) and to make decisions such as whether and where to reinvest profits back into the business.

In addition to the product line-based segmentation of our business, we also monitor sales into our principal end markets as a means to understanding demand for our products.

The following tables present financial information on our segments as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and for the years then ended.
