“Early in the third quarter we moved quickly to align our operations and cost structure to mitigate the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. Aerospace continues to benefit from a strong defense market, which softened the significant impact of the rapid reduction in passenger traffic and aircraft production rates. While Industrial results were also affected by the economic slowdown, the completed divestiture of our renewables portfolio enhanced the profitability of the segment,” said Thomas A. Gendron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Woodward. “We continue to monitor our markets, customers and suppliers, while maintaining flexibility to ensure we remain well-positioned to meet near- and long-term customer demand. As an organization, we have a strong track record of managing through the cycles of our business, and we believe we have the right team, operational focus and strategy to ensure we emerge stronger when end market demand improves.”
Third Quarter Company Results
Net sales were $524 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $752 million for the prior year quarter. Net earnings for the third quarter were $38 million, or $0.61 per share, compared to $66 million, or $1.02 per share, for the prior year quarter. Excluding renewable power systems and related businesses (“RPS”), which were divested on April 30, 2020, net sales for the third quarter would have been $516 million, compared to $729 million for the prior year quarter. The impact of the divestiture of RPS on net earnings for the third quarters of both 2020 and 2019 was immaterial.
Adjusted net earnings, which excludes primarily the gain resulting from the resetting of certain cross currency interest rate swaps and the impacts of restructuring charges related to COVID-19, were $31 million, or $0.48 per share, compared to $84 million, or $1.30 per share, for the prior year quarter.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was 14.6 percent, compared to 28.4 percent in the prior year. The adjusted effective tax rate1 was 29.1 percent for the quarter, compared to 25.5 percent for the third quarter of 2019.
Segment Results
Aerospace
Aerospace segment net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 were $306 million, compared to $499 million for the third quarter a year ago, a 39 percent decrease.
The decline in Aerospace segment sales in the third quarter was primarily driven by lower commercial sales due to the secular decline in global passenger traffic and OEM production rates, plant closures and furloughs, all as a result of the global pandemic. Compared to very strong defense sales in the third quarter of 2019, defense OEM sales were lower in the third quarter of 2020, partially offset by higher defense aftermarket sales.
Segment earnings for the third quarter of 2020 were $41 million, compared to $103 million for the same quarter last year. Segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales were 13.4 percent for the third quarter of 2020, compared to 20.7 percent in the same quarter of the prior year. Segment earnings were primarily impacted by the significantly lower sales volume in the quarter, partially offset by cost reduction initiatives.
Industrial
Industrial segment net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 were $217 million, compared to $253 million for the third quarter a year ago, a 14 percent decrease. Excluding RPS, sales for the third quarter would have been $210 million, compared to $230 million for the third quarter a year ago, a 9 percent decrease.
Industrial segment net sales for the third quarter of 2020 declined due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 across our markets, continued weakness in oil and gas, and the divestiture of RPS.
Industrial segment earnings and adjusted Industrial segment earnings1 for the third quarter of 2020 were $27 million, or 12.6 percent of segment net sales, compared to Industrial segment earnings of $26 million, or 10.4 percent of segment net sales, for the same period last year. Adjusted Industrial segment earnings for the third quarter of 2019 were $29 million, or 11.4 percent of segment net sales. The decrease in adjusted Industrial segment earnings was primarily due to the lower sales volume, partially offset by cost reduction initiatives.
Excluding RPS, Industrial segment earnings and adjusted Industrial segment earnings1 for the third quarter of 2020 would have been $27 million, or 13.0 percent of segment net sales, compared to Industrial segment earnings of $27 million, or 11.9 percent of segment net sales, and adjusted Industrial segment earnings of $30 million, or 13.0 percent of segment net sales, for the third quarter of 2019.
Nonsegment
Nonsegment expenses totaled $15 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $27 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted nonsegment expenses1 for the third quarter of 2020 were $19 million, compared to $20 million for the same quarter last year. Adjusted nonsegment expenses for the third quarter of 2020 excludes primarily the gain resulting from the resetting of certain cross currency interest rate swaps and the impacts of restructuring charges related to COVID-19. Adjusted nonsegment expenses for the third quarter of 2019 exclude Duarte move related costs. Reported and adjusted nonsegment expenses for the third quarter of 2020 benefited from cost reduction initiatives.
Year-to-Date Results
Net sales for the first nine months of 2020 were $1.96 billion, compared to $2.16 billion for the same period last year. Net earnings for the first nine months of 2020 were $183 million, or $2.85 per share, compared to $193 million, or $2.99 per share, for the same period of last year. Excluding RPS, net sales for the first nine months of 2020 would have been $1.90 billion, compared to $2.10 billion for the same period of the prior year. The impact of the divestiture of RPS on net earnings for the first nine months of both 2020 and 2019 was immaterial.

Industrial segment net sales for the first nine months of 2020 were $710 million, compared to $789 million for the same period last year, a decrease of 10 percent. Excluding RPS, sales for the first nine months would have been $642 million, compared to $724 million for the first nine months a year ago, an 11 percent decrease.
Industrial segment earnings and adjusted Industrial segment earnings for the first nine months of 2020 were $82 million, or 11.5 percent of segment net sales, compared to Industrial segment earnings of $83 million, or 10.5 percent of segment net sales, for the same period last year. Adjusted Industrial segment earnings for the first nine months of 2019 were $104 million, or 13.1 percent of segment net sales.
Excluding RPS, Industrial segment earnings and adjusted Industrial segment earnings for the first nine months of 2020 were $78 million, or 12.2 percent of segment net sales, compared to Industrial segment earnings of $86 million, or 11.9 percent of segment net sales, and adjusted Industrial segment earnings of $108 million, or 14.9 percent of segment net sales, for the same period last year.
Nonsegment expenses totaled $94 million for the first nine months of 2020, compared to $83 million a year ago. Adjusted nonsegment expenses were $57 million for the first nine months of 2020, compared to adjusted nonsegment expenses of $60 million for the first nine months of the prior year.
Cash Flow and Financial Position
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was $212 million, compared to $219 million for the same period of the prior year. Payments for property, plant, and equipment for the first nine months of 2020 were $39 million, compared to $78 million for the same period of 2019. Free cash flow for the first nine months of 2020 was $173 million, compared to free cash flow of $141 million for the first nine months of 2019. Adjusted free cash flow was $169 million for the first nine months of 2020. The increase in adjusted free cash flow for the first nine months of 2020, compared to free cash flow for the same period of the prior year, was primarily the result of lower capital expenditures, aggressive cost control and effective working capital management.
Total debt was $929 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $1.08 billion at September 30, 2019. Debt-to-EBITDA1 leverage at June 30, 2020 was 1.8 times EBITDA, compared to 2.1 times EBITDA at September 30, 2019.
Fiscal Year 2020 Outlook
The global economic effects associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have been unprecedented in their scope and depth. We continue to see severe volatility in our markets making even short-term forecasts challenging. With that uncertainty, we will not be providing specific financial guidance for fiscal 2020; however we anticipate our fourth quarter financial results to be similar to our third quarter.

1Adjusted and Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures: Adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted Industrial segment earnings, adjusted EBIT and EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted nonsegment expenses exclude, as applicable, (i) the gain on sale of assets associated with the sale of the Company’s Duarte real estate, (ii) the charge from the impairment of assets held for sale, and the losses, associated with the Company’s divestiture of its renewable power systems and related businesses (collectively, the “disposal group”), (iii) Duarte move related costs, (iv) the purchase accounting impacts related to the amortization of the backlog intangible acquired in connection with the acquisition of Woodward L’Orange on June 1, 2018 (the “L’Orange Acquisition”), (v) the transition impacts of the change in U.S. federal tax legislation in December 2017, (vi) costs associated with the previously proposed merger with Hexcel Corporation, which merger agreement was terminated on April 5, 2020, and (vii) transaction costs associated with the completed divestiture of our renewable power systems and related businesses, (viii) restructuring charges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, (ix) acceleration of stock compensation expense related to restructuring activities, and (x) the net gain on settlement of cross-currency interest rate swaps. Woodward believes that these items are short-term costs or are otherwise not related to the ongoing operations of the business and therefore, uses them to illustrate more clearly how the underlying business of Woodward is performing. Adjusted free cash flow is free cash flow (defined below) plus the cash proceeds from the sale of real property at our former Duarte operations and cash payments added back for merger and divestiture transaction costs, cash payments for restructuring activities, and excluding cash proceeds from the settlement of our cross-currency interest rate swaps. Management believes the inclusion of these proceeds in free cash flow better portrays the net cash impact of relocating the Duarte, CA operations to the Drake Campus in Fort Collins, CO and excludes the unusual or infrequent cash payments for merger and divestiture transaction costs not indicative of Woodward’s operating performance for the period.
EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), adjusted cash flow from operating activities, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted net earnings, adjusted Industrial segment net earnings, adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted nonsegment expenses are financial measures not prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Management uses EBIT and adjusted EBIT to evaluate Woodward’s operating performance without the impacts of financing and tax related considerations. Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in evaluating Woodward’s operating performance, making business decisions, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, forecasting future periods, and evaluating capital structure impacts of various strategic scenarios. Management also uses free cash flow, which is derived from net cash provided by or used in operating activities less payments for property, plant, and equipment, as well as adjusted free cash flow (as described above), in reviewing the financial performance of Woodward’s various business segments and evaluating cash generation levels. Securities analysts, investors, and others frequently use EBIT, EBITDA and free cash flow in their evaluation of companies, particularly those with significant property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets that are subject to amortization. The use of any of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because EBIT and EBITDA, and adjusted EBIT and EBITDA, exclude certain financial information compared with net earnings, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the information that is excluded. Free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Management’s calculations of EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBIT and EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted nonsegment expenses, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
