Segment Results
Aerospace
Aerospace segment net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 were $408 million, compared to $377 million, an increase of 8 percent.
Both commercial OEM and aftermarket sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased due to higher OEM aircraft production rates, continued recovery in passenger traffic, and increasing aircraft utilization. Defense OEM sales were down compared to the prior year due to lower guided weapons sales, and defense aftermarket sales were lower due to supply chain disruptions.
Segment earnings for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $63 million, compared to $66 million. Segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales were 15.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 17.4 percent. The decrease in segment earnings was primarily the result of net inflationary impacts on material and labor costs, as well as increases in manufacturing costs related to supply chain disruptions and inefficiencies related to training recent hires, all partially offset by higher sales volume.
For fiscal 2022, Aerospace segment net sales were $1.52 billion, an increase of 8 percent compared to $1.40 billion. Segment earnings for fiscal 2022 were $231 million, or 15.2 percent of segment net sales, compared to $234 million, or 16.7 percent of segment net sales.
Industrial
Industrial segment net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 were $232 million, compared to $193 million, an increase of 20 percent.
The increase in industrial sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 was driven by higher marine sales from continued utilization of the in-service fleet as well as strong industrial turbomachinery sales supporting growing demand for power generation and process industries. The sales increase was partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $22 million in the quarter.
Industrial segment earnings for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $21 million, or 9.0 percent of segment net sales, compared to $21 million, or 10.7 percent of segment net sales. Industrial segment earnings were flat as the favorable impact from higher sales volumes was offset by the additional costs incurred due to supply chain disruptions, inefficiencies related to training recent hires, net inflationary impacts on material and labor costs, and unfavorable foreign currency effects.
For fiscal year 2022, Industrial segment net sales were $863 million, compared to $842 million, a 3 percent increase. Foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted industrial segment sales in fiscal 2022 by approximately $51 million. Industrial segment earnings for fiscal 2022 were $83 million, or 9.6 percent of segment net sales, compared to $109 million, or 12.9 percent of segment net sales.
Nonsegment
Nonsegment expenses were $17 million for both the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted nonsegment expenses1 for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $21 million, compared to $12 million.
Nonsegment expenses totaled $81 million for fiscal 2022, compared to $64 million. Adjusted nonsegment expenses were $78 million for fiscal 2022, compared to $59 million.
Cash Flow and Financial Position
Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2022 was $194 million, compared to $465 million. Payments for property, plant, and equipment for 2022 were $53 million, compared to $38 million. Free cash flow was $141 million for 2022 compared to $427 million of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in free cash flow for 2022 was primarily related to working capital increases as a result of production delays from supply chain disruptions as well as lower earnings.
Total debt was $777 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $735 million at September 30, 2021. Debt-to-EBITDA1 leverage at September 30, 2022 was 2.1 times EBITDA, compared to 1.7 times EBITDA at September 30, 2021.
During fiscal year 2022, $518 million was returned to stockholders in the form of $45 million of dividends and $473 million of repurchased shares.
Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook
Woodward’s fiscal 2023 outlook assumes improving operational and financial performance throughout the year while continuing to navigate a challenging industry-wide environment. The supply chain and labor disruptions are anticipated to begin to subside during fiscal year 2023, with the pace of improvement expected to increase in the second half of the year. However, the pace of improvement is uncertain and results could be negatively impacted if supply chain and labor disruptions do not improve as anticipated.
The strong demand environment is expected to continue, with price realization to ramp over the course of the year. Total net sales for fiscal 2023 are expected to be between $2.60 billion and $2.75 billion. Aerospace sales growth percentage is expected to be between 14 and 19 percent. Industrial sales growth percentage is expected to be flat to up 5 percent.
Aerospace segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales are expected to increase by approximately 150 to 200 basis points. Industrial segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales are expected to be flat.
EBIT is expected to include approximately $60 million of annual variable incentive compensation costs, an increase of approximately $50 million over fiscal year 2022.
The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 19 percent.
Free cash flow is expected to be between $200 million and $250 million, with an anticipated free cash flow conversion rate of greater than 100 percent. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $80 million.
Earnings per share is expected to be between $3.15 and $3.60 based on approximately 61 million of fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

1Adjusted and Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures: Adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted nonsegment expenses exclude, as applicable, (i) costs related to business development activities (ii) a charge related to a non-recurring matter unrelated to the ongoing operations of the business, and (iii) restructuring activities. Woodward believes that these items are short-term costs or charges and are otherwise not related to the ongoing operations of the business. Therefore, Woodward 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 payments for costs related to business development activities and restructuring activities. Management believes these adjustments to free cash flow better portray Woodward’s operating performance.
EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted net earnings, adjusted 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, EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, and adjusted 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, adjusted 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.
