Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Hexcel Corporation and its subsidiaries (herein referred to as “Hexcel”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), is a leading advanced composites company. We develop, manufacture, and market lightweight, high-performance structural materials, including carbon fibers, specialty reinforcements, prepregs and other fiber-reinforced matrix materials, honeycomb, adhesives, engineered honeycomb and composite structures, for use in Commercial Aerospace, Space & Defense and Industrial Applications. Our products are used in a wide variety of end applications, such as commercial and military aircraft, space launch vehicles and satellites, wind turbine blades, automotive, a wide variety of recreational products and other industrial applications. We serve international markets through manufacturing facilities, sales offices and representatives located in the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa. We are also a partner in a joint venture in Malaysia, which manufactures composite structures for commercial aerospace applications. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hexcel Corporation and its subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts, transactions and profits. We have a 50% equity ownership investment in an Asian joint venture Aerospace Composites Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“ACM”). We also had a 50% equity investment in Formax U.K. Limited (“Formax”) in 2015. These investments were accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We acquired the remaining 50% of Formax in January 2016, as discussed in Note 21. Use of Estimates Preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. Our cash equivalents are held in prime money market investments with strong sponsor organizations which are monitored on a continuous basis. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the average cost methods. Inventory is reported at its estimated net realizable value based upon our historical experience with inventory becoming obsolete due to age, changes in technology and other factors. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest applicable to major project expenditures, is recorded at cost. Asset and accumulated depreciation accounts are eliminated for dispositions, with resulting gains or losses reflected in earnings. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets. The estimated useful lives range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and from 3 to 25 years for machinery and equipment. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company’s annual test for goodwill impairment was performed in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units were not less than their carrying values and it was not necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. We amortize the cost of other intangibles over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. The Company has indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of purchased emissions credits. These indefinite lived intangibles are tested annually for impairment as of November 30th, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. If the carrying amount of the indefinite lived intangible exceeds the fair value, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value is calculated using discounted cash flows. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts are not recoverable. These indicators include, but are not limited to: a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is used or its physical condition, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset, a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of losses associated with a long-lived asset and a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated life. Software Development Costs Costs incurred to develop software for internal-use are accounted for under ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software.” Debt Financing Costs Debt financing costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, deferred debt financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $4.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Share-Based Compensation The fair value of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) is equal to the market price of our stock at date of grant and is amortized to expense ratably over the vesting period. Performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) are a form of RSUs in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the extent to which we achieve a specified performance target. The fair value of the PRSU is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is amortized straight-line over the total vesting period. A change in the performance measure expected to be achieved is recorded as an adjustment in the period in which the change occurs. We use the Black-Scholes model to value compensation expense for all option-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. The value of RSU’s, PRSU’s and non-qualifying options awards for retirement eligible employees is expensed on the grant date as they are fully vested. Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Cumulative currency translation adjustments are included in “accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Stockholders’ Equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are not material. Revenue Recognition Our revenue is predominately derived from sales of inventory, and is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss passes to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. However, from time to time we enter into contractual arrangements for which other specific revenue recognition guidance is applied. Revenues derived from design and installation services are recognized when the service is provided. Revenues derived from long-term construction-type contracts are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, and progress is measured on a cost-to-cost basis. If at any time expected costs exceed the value of the contract, the loss is recognized immediately. Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred in connection with products sold are recorded in cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Product Warranty We provide for an estimated amount of product warranty at the point a claim is probable and estimable. This estimated amount is provided by product and based on current facts, circumstances and historical warranty experience. Research and Technology Significant costs are incurred each year in connection with research and technology (“R&T”) programs that are expected to contribute to future earnings. Such costs are related to the development and, in certain instances, the qualification and certification of new and improved products and their uses. R&T costs are expensed as incurred. Income Taxes We provide for income taxes using the asset and liability approach . Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. Two customers and their related subcontractors accounted for more than 65% our annual net sales in 2016, 2015 and 60% in 2014. Refer to Note 16 for further information on significant customers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition but generally do not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other financial information. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Bad debt expense was immaterial for all years presented. Derivative Financial Instruments We use various financial instruments, including foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements, to manage our exposure to market fluctuations by generating cash flows that offset, in relation to their amount and timing, the cash flows of certain foreign currency denominated transactions or underlying debt instruments. We mark our foreign exchange forward contracts to fair value. The change in the fair value is recorded in gross margin in current period earnings. When the derivatives qualify, we designate our foreign currency forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges against forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions and report the effective portions of changes in fair value of the instruments in “accumulated other comprehensive loss” until the underlying hedged transactions affect income. We designate our interest rate swap agreements as fair value or cash flow hedges against specific debt instruments and recognize interest differentials as adjustments to interest expense as the differentials may occur; the fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded in other assets or other long-term liabilities with a corresponding amount to “accumulated other comprehensive loss”. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In accordance with accounting guidance, we recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on our balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Self-insurance We are self-insured up to specific levels for certain medical and health insurance and workers’ compensation plans. Accruals are established based on actuarial assumptions and historical claim experience, and include estimated amounts for incurred but not reported claims. New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases In March of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (ASU 2016-09) "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" The Company early adopted ASU 2016-09 effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. As a result of the adoption, tax benefits of $2.4 million were recorded in 2016 reflecting the excess tax benefits. The adoption was on a prospective basis and therefore had no impact on prior years. The Company also recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings of $0.3 million to recognize U.S. net operating loss carryforwards attributable to excess tax benefits on stock compensation that had not been previously recognized to APIC because they did not reduce income taxes payable. In August of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 (ASU 2016-15) "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets	Note 4 — Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets Changes in the carrying amount of gross goodwill and other purchased intangibles for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, by segment, are as follows: (In millions) Composite Engineered Total Balance as of December 31, 2014 $ 43.7 $ 16.1 $ 59.8 Amortization expense (0.3 ) — (0.3 ) Currency translation adjustments and other (0.6 ) — (0.6 ) Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 42.8 $ 16.1 $ 58.9 Amortization expense (0.3 ) — (0.3 ) Additions 18.1 — 18.1 Currency translation adjustments and other (4.5 ) — (4.5 ) Balance as of December 31, 2016 $ 56.1 $ 16.1 $ 72.2 We performed our annual impairment review of goodwill as of November 30, 2016 and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units are above their carrying values. The goodwill and intangible asset balances as of December 31, 2016 include $3.5 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, $2.1 million of a definitive-lived intangible asset and $66.6 million of goodwill. The increase in goodwill is primarily due to the Formax acquisition in early 2016.

The maturity of the Facility was extended from September 2019 to June 2021. The amendment provided for a modest reduction in interest costs, as well as less restrictive covenants. The interest rate for the revolver at December 31, 2016 is LIBOR + 1.125%. The interest rate ranges from LIBOR + 0.875% to a maximum of LIBOR + 1.875%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio. At December 31, 2016 total borrowings under the Facility were $365 million, which approximates fair value using level 2 inputs under the market approach. During 2016, the Company utilized its Facility at various borrowing levels with $524 million representing the highest amount borrowed within the year. The Facility permits us to issue letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $40 million. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowing under our revolving loan. As of December 31, 2016, we had issued letters of credit under the Facility totaling $2.1 million, resulting in undrawn availability under the Facility as of December 31, 2016 of $332.9 million. The Facility contains financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the incurrence of debt and the granting of liens, as well as the maintenance of an interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. In accordance with the terms of the Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.50 (based on the ratio of EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to interest expense) and may not exceed a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 (based on the ratio of total debt to EBITDA) throughout the term of the Facility. In addition, the Facility contains other terms and conditions such as customary representations and warranties, additional covenants and customary events of default. In 2014, we entered into the original $700 million Facility which was scheduled to mature in September 2019. The Facility replaced the Company’s previous senior secured credit facility (a $600 million revolving loan). As a result of the refinancing, the Company accelerated certain unamortized financing costs of the credit facility being replaced incurring a pretax charge of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2014. At December 31, 2015, the outstanding borrowings of $280 million from the Facility approximates fair value using level 2 inputs under the market approach. 4.7% Senior Notes In 2015, the Company issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.7% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2025. 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% and the rate at December 31, 2016 remained at 4.7%. The net proceeds of approximately $296.4 million were initially used to repay, in part, our Facility. The conditions and covenants related to the senior notes are less restrictive than those of our Facility. The effective interest rate for 2016 was 4.76%. The fair value of the senior notes based on quoted prices utilizing level 2 inputs was $307.9 million at December 31, 2016. The balance for unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount related to the senior notes was $3.2 million at December 31, 2016 and $3.5 million at December 31, 2015. Other Credit Facilities In June 2016 we also entered into a € € € € We have a $10.0 million revolving credit line for working capital needs of our Chinese entity with no outstanding balance at December 31, 2016. These funds can only be used locally. The facility is guaranteed by Hexcel Corporation, but is uncommitted and cancellable by the lender at any time. Aggregate Maturities of Debt We have $365 million of debt maturing in 2021 and another $300 million of debt maturing in 2025. The Euro term loan is repayable in seven equal installments of $3.76 million each June 30 beginning June 30, 2017 with a final maturity on June 30, 2023.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans And Defined Benefit Postretirement Plans Disclosure [Abstract]
Retirement and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans	Note 7 — Retirement and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans We maintain qualified defined benefit retirement plans covering certain current and former European employees, as well as nonqualified defined benefit retirement plans and retirement savings plans covering certain eligible U.S. and European employees, and participate in a union sponsored multi-employer pension plan covering certain U.S. employees with union affiliations. In addition, we provide certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to eligible U.S. retirees. Accounting standards require the use of certain assumptions, such as the expected long-term rate of return, discount rate, rate of compensation increase, healthcare cost trend rates, and retirement and mortality rates, to determine the net periodic costs of such plans. These assumptions are reviewed and set annually at the beginning of each year. In addition, these models use an “attribution approach” that generally spreads individual events, such as plan amendments and changes in actuarial assumptions, over the service lives of the employees in the plan. That is, employees render service over their service lives on a relatively smooth basis and therefore, the income statement effects of retirement and postretirement benefit plans are earned in, and should follow, the same pattern. We use our actual return experience, future expectations of long-term investment returns, and our actual and targeted asset allocations to develop our expected rate of return assumption used in the net periodic cost calculations of our funded European defined benefit retirement plans. Due to the difficulty involved in predicting the market performance of certain assets, there will be a difference in any given year between our expected return on plan assets and the actual return. Following the attribution approach, each year’s difference is amortized over a number of future years. Over time, the expected long-term returns are designed to approximate the actual long-term returns and therefore result in a pattern of income and expense recognition that more closely matches the pattern of the services provided by the employees. We annually set our discount rate assumption for retirement-related benefits accounting to reflect the rates available on high-quality, fixed-income debt instruments. The rate of compensation increase for nonqualified pension plans, which is another significant assumption used in the actuarial model for pension accounting, is determined by us based upon our long-term plans for such increases and assumed inflation. For the postretirement health care and life insurance benefits plan, we review external data and its historical trends for health care costs to determine the health care cost trend rates. Retirement and termination rates are based primarily on actual plan experience. The mortality table used for the U.S. plans is based on the RP-2014 White Collar Healthy Annuitant Mortality Table with Improvement Scale MP-2015 and for the U.K. Plan the S2PXA table with future improvements in line with the CMI 2014 projection model with a long term trend rate of 1.5% p.a. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect the net periodic costs and recorded obligations in such future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant changes in economic or other conditions, employee demographics, retirement and mortality rates, and investment performance may materially impact such costs and obligations. U.S. Defined Benefit Retirement Plans We have nonqualified defined benefit retirement plans covering certain current and former U.S. employees that are funded as benefits are incurred. Under the provisions of these plans, we expect to contribute approximately $1.1 million in 2017 to cover unfunded benefits. Multi-Employer Plan The Company is party to a multi-employer pension plan covering certain U.S. employees with union affiliations. The plan is the Western Metal Industry Pension Fund, (“the Plan”). The Plan’s employer identification number is 91-6033499; the Plan number is 001. In 2016, 2015 and 2014 the Plan reported Hexcel Corporation as being an employer that contributed greater than 5% of the Plan’s total contributions. The expiration date of the collective bargaining agreement is September 30, 2020. The Plan has been listed in “critical status” and has been operating in accordance with a Rehabilitation Plan since 2010. The Plan, as amended under the Rehabilitation Plan, reduced the adjustable benefits of the participants and levied a surcharge on employer contributions. The Company contributed $2.1 million in 2016, $2.2 million in 2015 and approximately $1.8 million in 2014. We expect the Company’s contribution to be about $2.0 million in 2017 and remain at that level over the next few years. U.S. Retirement Savings Plan Under the retirement savings plan, eligible U.S. employees can contribute up to 75% of their annual compensation to an individual 401(k) retirement savings account. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 50% of employee contributions, not to exceed 3% of employee compensation each year. We also contribute an additional 2% to 4% of each eligible U.S. employee’s salary to an individual 401(k) retirement savings account. This increases the maximum contribution to individual U.S. employee savings accounts to between 5% and 7% per year, before any profit sharing contributions that are made when we meet or exceed certain performance targets that are set annually. These profit sharing contributions are made at the Company’s discretion and are targeted at 3% of an eligible U.S. employee’s pay, with a maximum of 4.5%. U.S. Postretirement Plans In addition to defined benefit and retirement savings plan benefits, we also provide certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to eligible U.S. retirees. Depending upon the plan, benefits are available to eligible employees who retire after meeting certain age and service requirements and were employed by Hexcel as of February 1996. Our funding policy for the postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans is generally to pay covered expenses as they are incurred. Under the provisions of these plans, we expect to contribute approximately $0.5 million in 2017 to cover unfunded benefits. European Defined Benefit Retirement Plans We have defined benefit retirement plans in the United Kingdom, Belgium, France and Austria covering certain employees of our subsidiaries in those countries. The defined benefit plan in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Plan”), the largest of the European plans, was terminated in 2011 and replaced with a defined contribution plan. As of December 31, 2016, 32% of the total assets in the U.K. Plan were invested in equities and 24% of the total assets were invested in diversified growth funds and 21% were invested in liability driven investments. Equity investments and growth fund investments are made with the objective of achieving a return on plan assets consistent with the funding requirements of the plan, maximizing portfolio return and minimizing the impact of market fluctuations on the fair value of the plan assets. Liability driven investments are made to reduce balance sheet volatility. As a result of an annual review of historical returns and market trends, the expected long-term weighted average rate of return for the U.K. Plan for the 2017 plan year will be 4.75% and 3.0% for the other European plans as a group. U.K. Defined Contribution Pension Plan Under the Defined Contribution Section, eligible U.K. employees can belong to the Deferred Contribution Plan on a non-participatory basis or can elect to contribute 3%, 5% or 7% of their pensionable salary. The Company will contribute 5%, 9% and 13% respectively. The plan also provides life insurance and disability insurance benefits for members. Retirement and Other Postretirement Plans - France The employees of our French subsidiaries are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon retirement subject to certain service conditions under the provisions of the national chemicals and textile workers collective bargaining agreements. The amounts attributable to the French plans have been included within the total expense and obligation amounts noted for the European plans.

The total accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) for the U.S. defined benefit retirement plans was $17.9 million and $16.4 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Excluding the U.K. Plan, the European plans’ ABO exceeded plan assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, by $12.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively. These plans’ ABO was $17.7 million and $17.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The U.K. Plan is overfunded; the ABO of this plan was $141.8 million and $141.2 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The fair value of the U.K. Plan assets was $165.7 million and $154.8 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the accrued benefit costs for the defined benefit retirement plans and postretirement benefit plans included within “accrued compensation and benefits” was $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and within “other non-current liabilities” was $38.8 million and $37.3 million, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Equity funds are split 40/60 between U.K. and overseas equity funds (North America, Japan, Asia Pacific and Emerging Markets). The asset management firm uses quoted prices in active markets to value the assets. Diversified growth funds are invested in a broad spectrum of return seeking asset classes with reduced dependency on any particular asset class. This approach targets growth asset returns with lower risk resulting from the diversification across different asset classes. The index-linked gilt allocation provides a partial interest rate and inflation rate hedge against the valuation of the liabilities. The liability driven investments’ allocation aims to hedge against the exposure to interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swaps. The Bond Allocation is invested in a number of Active Corporate Bond funds which are pooled funds. The Corporate Bond funds primarily invest in corporate fixed income securities denominated in British pounds sterling with credit ratings of BBB- and above. We use quoted prices in active markets to value the assets. Insurance contracts contain a minimum guaranteed return. The fair value of the assets is equal to the total amount of all individual technical reserves plus the non-allocated employer’s financing fund reserves at the valuation date. The individual technical and financing fund reserves are equal to the accumulated paid contributions taking into account the insurance tarification and any allocated profit sharing return. The diversified investment funds represent plan assets invested in a Pensionskasse (an Austrian multi-employer pension fund). The main holdings consist of equity, bonds, real estate and bank deposits. The actual allocations for the pension assets at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and target allocations by asset class, are as follows: Percentage Target Percentage Target Asset Class 2016 2016 2015 2015 Diversified growth funds 24.1 % 29.0 % 27.6 % 27.0 % Index linked gilts 21.1 13.0 5.3 5.0 Liability driven investments 20.1 24.0 22.3 22.0 All Other Regions Equity Fund 18.7 34.0 19.3 20.0 U.K. Equity Fund 12.6 — 13.0 15.0 Diversified Investment Funds 1.2 — 1.3 — Insurance Contracts 2.1 — 2.2 2.0 Active Corporate Bond Funds — — 8.7 9.0 Cash and cash equivalents 0.1 — 0.3 — Total 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 % Assumptions The assumed discount rate for pension plans reflects the market rates for high-quality fixed income debt instruments currently available. The Conduent Standard Yield Curve was used for the U.S. non-qualified and postretirement plans. For the U.K. plan, cash flows were not available and therefore we considered the derived yield to market on a representative bond of suitable duration taken from Conduent’s synthetic bond yield curve. We believe that the timing and amount of cash flows related to these instruments is expected to match the estimated defined benefit payment streams of our plans. The assumed discount rate for the U.S. non-qualified plans uses individual discount rates for each plan based on their associated cash flows. Salary increase assumptions are based on historical experience and anticipated future management actions. For the postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans, we review external data and our historical trends for health care costs to determine the health care cost trend rates. Retirement rates are based primarily on actual plan experience and on rates from previously mentioned mortality tables. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect the net periodic costs and recorded obligations in such future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant changes in economic or other conditions, employee demographics, retirement and mortality rates, and investment performance may materially impact such costs and obligations. Assumptions used to estimate the actuarial present value of benefit obligations at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 are shown in the following table. These year-end values are the basis for determining net periodic costs for the following year. 2016 2015 2014 U.S. defined benefit retirement plans: Discount rates 3.1% - 3.6% 3.2% - 3.7% 3.2% - 3.4% Rate of increase in compensation 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets N/A N/A N/A European defined benefit retirement plans: Discount rates 1.25% - 2.95% 1.8% - 3.9% 1.9% - 3.7% Rates of increase in compensation 2.75% - 3.0% 2.8% - 3.0% 2.8% - 3.0% Expected long-term rates of return on plan assets 3.0% – 4.75% 3.0% – 5.25% 3.25% – 5.2% Postretirement benefit plans: Discount rates 3.3% 3.4% 3.2% The following table presents the impact that a one-percentage-point increase and a one-percentage-point decrease in the expected long-term rate of return and discount rate would have on the 2017 pension expense, and the impact on our retirement obligation as of December 31, 2016 for a one-percentage-point change in the discount rate: Non-Qualified Retiree Medical U.K. Retirement (In millions) Pension Plans Plans Plan Periodic pension expense One-percentage-point increase: Expected long-term rate of return $ N/A $ N/A $ (1.7 ) Discount rate $ (0.1 ) $ — $ 0.5 One-percentage-point decrease: Expected long-term rate of return $ N/A $ N/A $ 1.7 Discount rate $ 0.2 $ — $ 0.2 Retirement obligation One-percentage-point increase in discount rate $ (1.1 ) $ (0.2 ) $ (22.3 ) One-percentage-point decrease in discount rate $ 1.2 $ 0.3 $ 28.5 The annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits is assumed to be 7.5% for medical and 5.0% for dental and vision for 2016. The medical rates are assumed to gradually decline to 4.75% by 2028, whereas dental and vision rates are assumed to remain constant at 5.0%. A one-percentage-point increase and a one-percentage-point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend would have an insignificant impact on the total of service and interest cost components, and would have an immaterial impact on the postretirement benefit obligation for both 2016 and 2015.

Principal components of deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are: (In millions) 2016 2015 Assets Net operating loss carryforwards $ 58.9 $ 60.6 Unfunded pension liability and other postretirement obligations 5.6 4.8 Advanced payments from foreign affiliates — 23.0 Tax credit carryforwards 13.0 5.0 Stock based compensation 16.2 16.1 Other comprehensive income 4.6 8.8 Reserves and other 20.8 21.2 Subtotal 119.1 139.5 Valuation allowance (58.9 ) (57.8 ) Total assets $ 60.2 $ 81.7 Liabilities Accelerated depreciation (160.6 ) (118.0 ) Accelerated amortization (12.9 ) (12.0 ) Other (0.4 ) (0.3 ) Total liabilities $ (173.9 ) $ (130.3 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (113.7 ) $ (48.6 ) Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as presented in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows and are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, deferred tax assets, other accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets: (In millions) 2016 2015 Long-term deferred tax assets, net 8.9 15.7 Long-term deferred tax liability, net (122.6 ) (64.3 ) Net deferred tax (liabilities) assets $ (113.7 ) $ (48.6 ) During November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes Although realization is not assured, we have concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets, for which a valuation allowance was determined to be unnecessary, will be realized in the ordinary course of operations based on the available positive and negative evidence, including scheduling of deferred tax liabilities and projected income from operating activities. The amount of the net deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if actual future income or income tax rates are lower than estimated, or if there are differences in the timing or amount of future reversals of existing taxable or deductible temporary differences. Net Operating Loss & Tax Credit Carryforwards At December 31, 2016, we had tax credit carryforwards for U.S. tax purposes of $14.1 million available to offset future income taxes. These credits will begin to expire if not utilized in 2017. We also had net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. and foreign income tax purposes of $17.2 million and $222.1 million, respectively, for which there were foreign valuation allowances of $220.6 million as of December 31, 2016. Our foreign net operating losses can be carried forward without limitation in Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain and the U.K. The carryforward period in China is limited to 5 years. We have a full valuation allowance against certain foreign net operating losses for which the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the net operating losses will be utilized. Uncertain Tax Positions Our unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2016, relate to various Foreign and U.S. jurisdictions. The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits: Unrecognized Tax Benefits (In millions) 2016 2015 2014 Balance as of January 1, $ 25.3 $ 43.1 $ 42.7 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 7.3 1.7 3.2 (Reductions) additions for tax positions of prior years (11.1 ) (16.6 ) (0.4 ) Expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes (4.2 ) (0.6 ) (0.4 ) Other, including currency translation (0.6 ) (2.3 ) (2.0 ) Balance as of December 31, $ 16.7 $ 25.3 $ 43.1 Included in the unrecognized tax benefits of $16.7 million at December 31, 2016 was $16.7 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact our annual effective tax rate. In addition, we recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense and penalties as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized $1.1 million, $0.6 million, $1.5 million of interest expense and penalties related to the above unrecognized tax benefits in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company had accrued interest of approximately $2.1 million and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During 2016, we reversed $1.1 million of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits. We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. tax returns have been audited through 2012. Foreign and U.S. state jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from 3 to 5 years. Years still open to examination by the U.S. (2013 onward) and foreign tax authorities in major jurisdictions include Austria (2012 onward), Belgium (2014 onward), France (2014 onward), Spain (2004 onward) and the U.K. (2014 onward). We are currently under examination in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2016, we had uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change over the next year. These uncertain tax positions relate to our tax returns from 2004 onward, some of which are currently under examination by certain U.S. and European tax authorities. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits disclosed as of December 31, 2016 may decrease approximately $2 to $3 million in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. Such possible decrease primarily relates to audit settlements and the expiration of statutes of limitation.

Stock-Based Compensation	Note 10 — Stock-Based Compensation The following table details the stock-based compensation expense by type of award for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014: Year Ended December 31, (In millions, except per share data) 2016 2015 2014 Non-qualified stock options $ 3.6 $ 3.3 $ 3.6 Restricted stock, service based (“RSUs”) 5.8 6.4 6.0 Restricted stock, performance based (“PRSUs”) 6.3 7.9 7.4 Employee stock purchase plan 0.4 0.3 0.2 Stock-based compensation expense $ 16.1 $ 17.9 $ 17.2 Tax benefit from stock exercised and converted during the period $ 2.8 $ 9.2 $ 5.8 Non-Qualified Stock Options Non-qualified stock options (“NQOs”) have been granted to our employees and directors under our stock compensation plan. Options granted generally vest over three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. A summary of option activity under the plan for the three years ended December 31, 2016 is as follows: Number of Options (In millions) Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) Outstanding at December 31, 2013 3.0 $ 17.30 5.96 Options granted 0.2 $ 43.01 Options exercised (0.4 ) $ 14.66 Outstanding at December 31, 2014 2.8 $ 19.12 4.95 Options granted 0.2 $ 43.96 Options exercised (0.7 ) $ 12.77 Outstanding at December 31, 2015 2.3 $ 23.75 5.39 Options granted 0.3 $ 41.71 Options exercised (0.3 ) $ 20.17 Outstanding at December 31, 2016 2.3 $ 26.08 5.20 Year Ended December 31, (In millions, except weighted average exercise price) 2016 2015 Aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options $ 57.2 $ 51.7 Aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options $ 53.2 $ 48.7 Total intrinsic value of options exercised $ 6.7 $ 26.0 Total number of options exercisable 1.8 1.8 Weighted average exercise price of options exercisable $ 21.99 $ 19.83 Total unrecognized compensation cost on nonvested options (a) $ 1.1 $ 1.2 (a) Unrecognized compensation cost relates to nonvested stock options and is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period ranging from one year to three years. The following table summarizes information about non-qualified stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2016: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Prices Number of Options Outstanding (a) Weighted Average Remaining Life (in Years) Weighted Average Exercise Price Number of Options Exercisable (a) Weighted Average Exercise Price $ 7.83 – 19.02 0.9 3.24 $ 14.13 0.8 $ 14.13 $ 20.76 – 28.27 0.8 4.92 $ 25.57 0.8 $ 25.57 $ 41.71 – 43.96 0.6 8.22 $ 42.84 0.2 $ 43.40 $ 7.83 – 43.96 2.3 5.20 $ 26.08 1.8 $ 21.99 (a) in millions Valuation Assumptions in Estimating Fair Value We estimated the fair value of stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014: 2016 2015 2014 Risk-free interest rate 1.62 % 1.56 % 2.17 % Expected option life (in years) Executive 6.77 6.84 6.88 Expected option life (in years) Non-Executive 4.72 6.09 6.18 Dividend yield 1.0 % 1.0 % — % Volatility 38.41 % 35.59 % 37.52 % Weighted-average fair value per option granted $ 14.65 $ 14.95 $ 17.91 We determine the expected option life for each grant based on ten years of historical option activity for two separate groups of employees (executive and non-executive). The weighted-average expected life (“WAEL”) is derived from the average midpoint between the vesting and the contractual term and considers the effect of both the inclusion and exclusion of post-vesting cancellations during the ten-year period. Expected volatility is calculated based on a blend of both historic volatility of our common stock and implied volatility of our traded options. We weigh both volatility inputs equally and utilize the average as the volatility input for the Black-Scholes calculation. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and corresponding to the expected term. No dividends were paid in 2014. Restricted Stock Units — Service Based As of December 31, 2016, a total of 508,395 shares of service based restricted stock (“RSUs”) were outstanding, which vest based on years of service under the 2003 and 2013 incentive stock plans. RSUs are granted to key employees, executives and directors of the Company. The fair value of the RSU is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is amortized on a straight line basis over the requisite service period. The stock-based compensation expense recognized is based on an estimate of shares ultimately expected to vest, and therefore it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The stock based compensation expense related to awards granted to retirement-eligible employees is expensed on the grant date. The table presented below provides a summary of the Company’s RSU activity for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014: Number of RSUs (In millions) Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 31, 2013 0.6 $ 23.79 RSUs granted 0.1 $ 42.76 RSUs issued (0.2 ) $ 24.13 Outstanding at December 31, 2014 0.5 $ 27.76 RSUs granted 0.1 $ 43.96 RSUs issued (0.1 ) $ 28.95 Outstanding at December 31, 2015 0.5 $ 31.73 RSUs granted 0.1 $ 42.05 RSUs issued (0.1 ) $ 37.01 Outstanding at December 31, 2016 0.5 $ 33.72 As of December 31, 2016, there was total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSUs of $4.6 million, which is to be recognized over the remaining vesting period ranging from one year to three years. Restricted Stock Units — Performance Based As of December 31, 2016, a total of 375,375 shares of performance based restricted stock (“PRSUs”) were outstanding under the 2003 and 2013 incentive stock plans. The total amount of PRSUs that will ultimately vest is based on the achievement of various financial performance targets set forth by the Company’s Compensation Committee on the date of grant. PRSUs are based on a three-year performance period. The stock based compensation expense related to awards granted to retirement-eligible employees is expensed on the grant date and is trued up as projections change. Based on current projections and performance targets, it is estimated that an additional 0.2 million performance shares may be issuable for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 awards. The fair value of the PRSU is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is amortized straight-line over the total three- year period. A change in the performance measure expected to be achieved is recorded as an adjustment in the period in which the change occurs. The table presented below provides a summary, of the Company’s PRSU activity, at original grant amounts, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014: Number of PRSUs (In millions) Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 31, 2013 0.5 $ 24.60 PRSUs granted 0.1 $ 43.01 PRSUs additional performance shares 0.1 $ 19.02 PRSUs issued (0.3 ) $ 19.01 Outstanding at December 31, 2014 0.4 $ 31.68 PRSUs granted 0.1 $ 43.96 PRSUs additional performance shares 0.1 $ 42.23 PRSUs issued (0.2 ) $ 24.95 Outstanding at December 31, 2015 0.4 $ 36.59 PRSUs granted 0.2 $ 43.96 PRSUs additional performance shares 0.1 $ 28.09 PRSUs issued (0.3 ) $ 28.15 Outstanding at December 31, 2016 0.4 $ 42.66 As of December 31, 2016, there was total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested PRSUs of $2.0 million, which is to be recognized over the remaining vesting period ranging from one year to three years. The final amount of compensation cost to be recognized is dependent upon our financial performance. Stock-Based Compensation Cash Activity During 2016, cash received from stock option exercises and from employee stock purchases was $5.3 million. We used $6.4 million in cash related to the shares withheld to satisfy employee tax obligations for RSUs and PRSUs converted during the year ended December 31, 2016. We classify the cash flows resulting from these tax benefits as financing cash flows. We either issue new shares of our common stock or utilize treasury shares upon the exercise of stock options or the conversion of stock units. Shares Authorized for Grant As of December 31, 2016, an aggregate of 2.3 million shares were authorized for future grant under our stock plan, which covers stock options, RSUs, PRSUs and at the discretion of Hexcel, could result in the issuance of other types of stock-based awards. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) The Company offers an ESPP, which allows for eligible employees to contribute up to 10% of their base earnings, to a maximum of $25,000 in a calendar year, toward the quarterly purchase of our common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock. There were 47,952 and 34,468 ESPP shares purchased in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments Interest Rate Swap Agreements As of December 31, 2016, the Company had two agreements to swap $50 million of floating rate obligations for fixed rate obligations at an average of 0.878% and 1.087% against LIBOR in U.S. dollars. Of the total of $100 million of swaps outstanding at December 31, 2016, $50 million matures on each of March 2017 and September 2019. Each of the swaps was accounted for as a cash flow hedge of our floating rate bank loans. To ensure the swaps were highly effective, all the principal terms of the swaps matched the terms of the bank loans. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was an asset of $0.7 million at December 31, 2016 and a liability of $0.1 million at December 31, 2015. In December 2016 we swapped €25.0 million of floating rate obligations for fixed rate obligations at a rate of 0.365% against EURIBOR in Euros. The swap amortizes over seven equal annual installments beginning June 30, 2017 until the final maturity on June 30, 2023. The derivative is accounted for as a cash flow hedge of the floating rate French term loan. To ensure the swap is highly effective, all the principal terms of the swap matched the terms of the bank loan. The fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $0.1 million at December 31, 2016. The Company also uses treasury locks to protect against unfavorable movements in the benchmark treasury rate related to forecasted debt issuances. On September 22, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate treasury lock agreement with a notional value of $150 million for a forecasted 2017 debt issuance, in order to increase available debt capacity and for general corporate purposes. We account for this interest rate treasury lock as a cash flow hedge so any change in fair value is recorded into other comprehensive income and then amortized into interest expense over the life of the debt upon issuance. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of this the treasury lock was $10.3 million pre-tax and is recorded in current assets and other comprehensive income, net of tax. The interest rate lock had no impact on net income or cash flows from operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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 entered into contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for Euros and British pound sterling through June 2019. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $423.8 million and $417.5 million at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge a portion of the forecasted transactions of 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 reducing our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The effective portion of the hedges was a loss of $32.2 million; $26.7 million and $18.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are recorded in other comprehensive income . At December 31, 2016, $33.9 million of the carrying amount of these contracts was classified in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and $0.9 million in other assets and $22.1 million classified in other liabilities at December 31, 2015. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recognized a net loss of $19.4 million, a net loss of $17.8 million and a net gain of $4.6 million, respectively, recorded in sales. For the three years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial. 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 years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recognized net foreign exchange losses of $0.9 million, $14.9 million, and $16.3 million, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. The carrying amount of the contracts for asset and liability derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was $1.0 million classified in other assets and $0.3 million in other liabilities and $0.4 million classified in other assets and $0.4 million in other liabilities on the December 31, 2016 and 2015 consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The activity, net of tax, in “accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency forward exchange contracts for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was as follows: (In millions) 2016 2015 2014 Unrealized (losses) gains at beginning of period, net of tax $ (15.0 ) $ (9.2 ) $ 7.2 Losses (gains) reclassified to net sales 14.4 11.8 (3.2 ) Decrease in fair value (25.3 ) (17.6 ) (13.2 ) Unrealized losses at end of period, net of taxes $ (25.9 ) $ (15.0 ) $ (9.2 ) Unrealized losses of $18.7 million recorded in “accumulated other comprehensive income,” net of tax of $3.3 million, as of December 31, 2016 are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months as the hedged sales are recorded. The impact of credit risk adjustments was immaterial for the three years.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 13 — 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 on 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. Such estimates are not discounted to reflect the time value of money due to the uncertainty in estimating the timing of the expenditures, which may extend over several years. While it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to certain contingent liabilities and claims, we believe, based upon our examination of currently available information, our experience to date, and advice from legal counsel, that the individual and aggregate liabilities resulting from the ultimate resolution of these contingent matters, after taking into consideration our existing insurance coverage and amounts already provided for, will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Environmental Matters We are subject to various U.S. and international federal, state and local environmental, and health and safety laws and regulations. We are also subject to liabilities arising under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”), the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and similar state and international laws and regulations that impose responsibility for the control, remediation and abatement of air, water and soil pollutants and the manufacturing, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and waste. We have been named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to several 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 CERCLA 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 our waste, and the number of other financially viable PRPs, that our liability in connection with such matters will not be material. Lodi, New Jersey Site Pursuant to the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, Hexcel entered into an Administrative Consent Order for the environmental remediation of a manufacturing facility we own and formerly operated in Lodi, New Jersey. Hexcel has completed all active investigation and remediation activities, including restoration of the river embankment and installation of a barrier to prevent contaminant migration and have received a Response Action Outcome. Hexcel is in the process of monitoring contaminant levels to support a Monitored Natural Attenuation program and therefore we believe the spending on this program is largely complete. Lower Passaic River Study Area Hexcel and a group of approximately 52 other PRPs comprise the Lower Passaic Cooperating Parties Group (the “CPG”). Hexcel and the CPG are subject to a May 2007 Administrative Order on Consent (“AOC”) to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) of environmental conditions in the Lower Passaic River watershed. 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 river in addition to a “no action” option. The ROD calls for capping and dredging of the lower eight miles of the Passaic River, with the placement of an engineered cap over the entire eight miles, at an expected cost ranging from $0.97 billion to $2.07 billion, according to the EPA. Because the EPA has not yet selected a remedy for the upper nine miles of the Lower Passaic River, this estimate range does not include any costs related to a future remedy for the upper portion of the river. Now that it has issued the final ROD, the EPA will seek to hold some combination of the PRPs liable to perform the work selected through the ROD. At this point, we have not yet determined our allocable share of performing the selected remedy. However, based on a review of the Company’s position, and as no point within the range is a more probable outcome than any other point, the Company has determined that its accrual is sufficient at this time. The total accrued liability related to this matter was $2.1 million at December 31, 2016 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2015. Despite the issuance of the final ROD, there continue to be many uncertainties associated with the selected remedy and the Company’s allocable share of the remediation. Given those uncertainties, the amounts accrued may not be indicative of the amounts for which the Company is ultimately responsible and will be refined as events in the remediation process develop. Kent, Washington Site We were party to a cost-sharing agreement regarding the operation of certain environmental remediation systems necessary to satisfy a post-closure care permit issued to a previous owner of our Kent, Washington site by the EPA. Under the terms of the cost-sharing agreement, we were obligated to reimburse the previous owner for a portion of the cost of the required remediation activities. The previous owner, who also continues to own an adjacent site, has installed certain remediation and isolation technologies on its upgradient site and is operating those pursuant to an order agreed with the State of Washington. We and the Washington Department of Ecology have reached an agreed order to perform certain cleanup activities on our site by certain deadlines, and we are in full compliance with the order. The Department of Ecology has recently approved a reduced number of wells and a reduced pumping volume for Hexcel’s wells on its property and agreed with a plan for more active remediation going forward. The total accrued liability related to this matter was $0.3 million at December 31, 2016 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2015. Omega Chemical Corporation Superfund Site, Whittier, California We are a PRP at a former chemical waste site in Whittier, California. The PRPs at Omega have established a PRP Group, the “Omega PRP Group”, and are currently investigating and remediating soil and groundwater at the site pursuant to a Consent Decree with the EPA. The Omega PRP Group has attributed approximately 1.07% of the waste tonnage sent to the site to Hexcel. In addition to the Omega site specifically, the EPA is investigating the scope of regional groundwater contamination in the vicinity of the Omega site and issued a Record of Decision; the Omega PRP Group members have been noticed by the EPA as PRPs who will be required to be involved in the remediation of the regional groundwater contamination in that vicinity as well. As a member of the Omega PRP Group, Hexcel will incur costs associated with the investigation and remediation of the Omega site and the regional groundwater remedy, although our ultimate liability, if any, in connection with this matter cannot be determined at this time. The total accrued liability relating to potential liability for both the Omega site and regional groundwater remedies was $0.6 million at December 31, 2016 and $0.3 million at December 31, 2015. Environmental remediation reserve activity for the three years ended December 31, 2016 was as follows: For the year ended December 31, (In millions) 2016 2015 2014 Beginning remediation accrual balance $ 2.9 $ 5.0 $ 3.9 Current period expenses 1.2 0.5 6.0 Cash expenditures (0.9 ) (2.6 ) (4.9 ) Ending remediation accrual balance $ 3.2 $ 2.9 $ 5.0 Environmental Summary Our estimate of liability as a PRP and our remaining costs associated with our responsibility to remediate the Lower Passaic River, New Jersey; Kent, Washington; and other sites are accrued in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, our aggregate environmental related accruals were $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, were included in current other accrued liabilities, with the remainder included in other non-current liabilities. As related to certain environmental matters, the accruals were estimated at the low end of a range of possible outcomes since no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. If we had accrued, for those sites where we are able to estimate our liability, at the high end of the range of possible outcomes, our accrual would have been $16 million higher at December 31, 2016 and 2015. 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. Environmental remediation spending charged directly to our reserve balance was $0.7 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, our operating costs relating to environmental compliance charged directly to expense were $10.1 million and $10.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Product Warranty Warranty expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and accrued warranty cost, included in “other accrued liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows: (In millions) Product Warranties Balance as of December 31, 2013 $ 4.5 Warranty expense 10.3 Deductions and other (3.5 ) Balance as of December 31, 2014 $ 11.3 Warranty expense 3.5 Deductions and other (8.7 ) Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 6.1 Warranty expense 5.1 Deductions and other (5.7 ) Balance as of December 31, 2016 $ 5.5

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Note 16 — 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. 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. 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. Therefore, for each segment, we have also reported disaggregated sales by end market. The following table presents financial information on our segments as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and for the years then ended. (In millions) Composite Materials Engineered Products Corporate & Other Total Third-Party Sales 2016 $ 1,610.0 $ 394.3 $ — $ 2,004.3 2015 1,458.7 402.5 — 1,861.2 2014 1,420.9 434.6 — 1,855.5 Intersegment sales 2016 $ 67.6 $ 0.1 $ (67.7 ) $ — 2015 70.4 8.5 (78.9 ) — 2014 66.7 1.8 (68.5 ) — Operating income (loss) 2016 $ 368.3 $ 50.0 $ (58.2 ) $ 360.1 2015 336.2 55.8 (59.6 ) 332.4 2014 308.8 67.0 (70.0 ) 305.8 Depreciation 2016 $ 86.0 $ 7.2 $ 0.1 $ 93.3 2015 70.0 6.1 0.3 76.4 2014 65.5 5.5 0.2 71.2 Equity in earnings from affiliated companies 2016 $ — $ 2.5 $ — $ 2.5 2015 0.2 1.8 — 2.0 2014 — 1.4 — 1.4 Other expense (income), net 2014 $ — $ — $ 6.0 $ 6.0 Segment assets 2016 $ 2,127.2 $ 220.7 $ 52.7 $ 2,400.6 2015 1,892.0 239.4 56.0 2,187.4 2014 1,600.7 241.1 194.6 2,036.4 Investments in affiliated companies 2016 $ — $ 23.1 $ 30.0 $ 53.1 2015 10.1 20.3 — 30.4 2014 10.2 24.0 — 34.2 Accrual basis additions to property, plant and equipment 2016 $ 305.2 $ 14.9 $ 0.1 $ 320.2 2015 276.0 13.0 — 289.0 2014 260.1 10.1 — 270.2 Geographic Data Net sales and long-lived assets, by geographic area, consisted of the following for the three years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014: (In millions) 2016 2015 2014 Net sales by Geography (a): United States $ 957.8 $ 955.4 $ 933.2 International France 335.2 320.6 346.9 Spain 219.7 217.8 183.4 Germany 169.5 83.2 69.8 United Kingdom 154.2 125.1 135.8 Austria 92.8 93.1 112.6 Other 75.1 66.0 73.8 Total international 1,046.5 905.8 922.3 Total consolidated net sales $ 2,004.3 $ 1,861.2 $ 1,855.5 Net Sales to External Customers (b): United States $ 833.1 $ 850.1 $ 834.5 International Germany 210.5 163.7 154.8 Spain 204.4 149.7 155.3 France 153.8 140.3 159.1 United Kingdom 95.5 84.2 95.6 Other 507.0 473.2 456.2 Total international 1,171.2 1,011.1 1,021.0 Total $ 2,004.3 $ 1,861.2 $ 1,855.5 Long-lived assets (c): United States $ 1,213.8 $ 1,109.9 $ 990.1 International France 217.2 112.1 68.7 United Kingdom 130.8 133.4 116.2 Spain 56.2 59.8 68.5 Other 79.8 69.3 88.8 Total international 484.0 374.6 342.2 Total consolidated long-lived assets $ 1,697.8 $ 1,484.5 $ 1,332.3 (a) Net sales by geography based on the location in which the product sold was manufactured. (b) Net sales to external customers based on the location to which the product sold was delivered. (c) Long-lived assets primarily consist of property, plant and equipment, net and goodwill. Significant Customers and Suppliers Approximately 41%, 35% and 31% of our 2016, 2015 and 2014 net sales, respectively, were to Airbus and its subcontractors. Of the 41% of overall sales to Airbus and its subcontractors in 2016, 37% related to Commercial Aerospace market applications and 4% related to Space & Defense market applications. Approximately 28%, 31% and 32% of our 2016, 2015 and 2014 net sales, respectively, were to Boeing and related subcontractors. Of the 28% of overall sales to Boeing and its subcontractors in 2016, 26% related to Commercial Aerospace market applications and 2% related to Space & Defense market applications. In the Composite Materials segment approximately 17%, 21% and 20% of sales for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were to Boeing and its subcontractors. Approximately 48%, 42% and 39% of sales for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively were to Airbus and its subcontractors. In the Engineered Products segment approximately 69%, 71% and 71% of sales for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively were to Boeing and its subcontractors. A significant decline in business with Airbus or Boeing could materially impact our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Certain key raw materials we consume are available from relatively few sources, and in many cases the cost of product qualification makes it impractical to develop multiple sources of supply. The lack of availability of these materials could under certain circumstances materially impact our consolidated results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	12 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 19 — Fair Value Measurements The fair values of our financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. • Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in 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. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, we did not have any assets or liabilities that utilize 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). The fair value of these assets and liabilities was approximately $12.0 million and $34.3 million, and approximately $1.3 million and $22.6 million respectively at December 31, 2016 and 2015. 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 consolidated balance sheet. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for all Level 2 financial assets and liabilities: • Interest rate swap — valued using LIBOR yield curves at the reporting date. The fair value of assets and liabilities was $0.7 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2016. • T-Locks-valued using UST yield curves at the reporting date. The fair value of assets was $10.3 million at December 31, 2016. • Foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities — valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. The fair value of assets and liabilities at December 31, 2016 was $1.0 million and $34.2 million, respectively. Counterparties to the above contracts are highly rated financial institutions, none of which experienced any significant downgrades in 2016 that would reduce the receivable amount owed, if any, to the Company.

Business Acquisition and Investments in Affiliates	Note 21 – Business Acquisition and Investments in Affiliates In 2016, we invested $15.0 million in Oxford Performance Materials (“OPM”). , if OPM achieves certain milestones within an 18-month period or at Hexcel’s discretion, the Company will invest an additional $10 million. Luminati Aerospace LLC (“Luminati”), in the amount of $10 million. Luminati is an aerospace technology company focusing on research, development, testing, and manufacturing of next generation solar-electric unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. The note matures in 2023 and the principal and interest are convertible into Luminati stock. The note will convert upon Luminati achieving certain milestones or at Hexcel’s discretion. We also invested $5 million in Carbon Conversions Incorporated (“CCI”). CCI is a leader in carbon fiber recycling and repurposing. On January 5, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Formax UK Limited (“Formax”) by purchasing the remaining 50% at a price of $12 million, of which $9 million was paid on closing and the remaining will be paid in installments over the next four years. The Company previously acquired a 50% interest in the privately-owned company in December 2014. Formax is a leading manufacturer of composite reinforcements, specializing in the production of lightweight carbon fiber multi-axials and highly engineered glass fiber, carbon fiber and aramid fiber fabrics. Located in Leicester, U.K., Formax is a leading manufacturer of composite reinforcements, specializing in the production of lightweight carbon multi-axials and highly engineered glass fiber and aramid fiber fabrics. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired and including the 50% interest acquired in December 2014, was $22 million and the assumption of long-term debt of $8.2 million. The step acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting with the Company treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition has been recorded to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The Company engaged a third party to assist with the valuation of assets including property plant and equipment and intangible assets. The fair value of the property, plant and equipment was based upon the assessed value of the land, which was determined to approximate fair value, as well as the income approach in determining the fair value of building improvements and equipment. The carrying values for current assets and liabilities were deemed to approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, of $10.2 million was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable to expected revenue synergies generated by the integration of our products and technologies with those of Formax, costs synergies resulting from the consolidation or elimination of certain functions, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the assembled workforce of Formax.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hexcel Corporation and its subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts, transactions and profits. We have a 50% equity ownership investment in an Asian joint venture Aerospace Composites Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“ACM”). We also had a 50% equity investment in Formax U.K. Limited (“Formax”) in 2015. These investments were accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We acquired the remaining 50% of Formax in January 2016, as discussed in Note 21.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates Preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. Our cash equivalents are held in prime money market investments with strong sponsor organizations which are monitored on a continuous basis.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the average cost methods. Inventory is reported at its estimated net realizable value based upon our historical experience with inventory becoming obsolete due to age, changes in technology and other factors.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest applicable to major project expenditures, is recorded at cost. Asset and accumulated depreciation accounts are eliminated for dispositions, with resulting gains or losses reflected in earnings. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets. The estimated useful lives range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and from 3 to 25 years for machinery and equipment. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company’s annual test for goodwill impairment was performed in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units were not less than their carrying values and it was not necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. We amortize the cost of other intangibles over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. The Company has indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of purchased emissions credits. These indefinite lived intangibles are tested annually for impairment as of November 30th, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. If the carrying amount of the indefinite lived intangible exceeds the fair value, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value is calculated using discounted cash flows.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts are not recoverable. These indicators include, but are not limited to: a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is used or its physical condition, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset, a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of losses associated with a long-lived asset and a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated life.
Software Development Costs	Software Development Costs Costs incurred to develop software for internal-use are accounted for under ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software.”
Debt Financing Costs	Debt Financing Costs Debt financing costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, deferred debt financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $4.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation The fair value of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) is equal to the market price of our stock at date of grant and is amortized to expense ratably over the vesting period. Performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) are a form of RSUs in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the extent to which we achieve a specified performance target. The fair value of the PRSU is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is amortized straight-line over the total vesting period. A change in the performance measure expected to be achieved is recorded as an adjustment in the period in which the change occurs. We use the Black-Scholes model to value compensation expense for all option-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. The value of RSU’s, PRSU’s and non-qualifying options awards for retirement eligible employees is expensed on the grant date as they are fully vested.
Currency Translation	Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Cumulative currency translation adjustments are included in “accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Stockholders’ Equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are not material.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Our revenue is predominately derived from sales of inventory, and is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss passes to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. However, from time to time we enter into contractual arrangements for which other specific revenue recognition guidance is applied. Revenues derived from design and installation services are recognized when the service is provided. Revenues derived from long-term construction-type contracts are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, and progress is measured on a cost-to-cost basis. If at any time expected costs exceed the value of the contract, the loss is recognized immediately. Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred in connection with products sold are recorded in cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Product Warranty	Product Warranty We provide for an estimated amount of product warranty at the point a claim is probable and estimable. This estimated amount is provided by product and based on current facts, circumstances and historical warranty experience.
Research and Technology	Research and Technology Significant costs are incurred each year in connection with research and technology (“R&T”) programs that are expected to contribute to future earnings. Such costs are related to the development and, in certain instances, the qualification and certification of new and improved products and their uses. R&T costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We provide for income taxes using the asset and liability approach .
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. Two customers and their related subcontractors accounted for more than 65% our annual net sales in 2016, 2015 and 60% in 2014. Refer to Note 16 for further information on significant customers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition but generally do not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other financial information. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Bad debt expense was immaterial for all years presented.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments We use various financial instruments, including foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements, to manage our exposure to market fluctuations by generating cash flows that offset, in relation to their amount and timing, the cash flows of certain foreign currency denominated transactions or underlying debt instruments. We mark our foreign exchange forward contracts to fair value. The change in the fair value is recorded in gross margin in current period earnings. When the derivatives qualify, we designate our foreign currency forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges against forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions and report the effective portions of changes in fair value of the instruments in “accumulated other comprehensive loss” until the underlying hedged transactions affect income. We designate our interest rate swap agreements as fair value or cash flow hedges against specific debt instruments and recognize interest differentials as adjustments to interest expense as the differentials may occur; the fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded in other assets or other long-term liabilities with a corresponding amount to “accumulated other comprehensive loss”. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In accordance with accounting guidance, we recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on our balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
Self-insurance	Self-insurance We are self-insured up to specific levels for certain medical and health insurance and workers’ compensation plans. Accruals are established based on actuarial assumptions and historical claim experience, and include estimated amounts for incurred but not reported claims.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases In March of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (ASU 2016-09) "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" The Company early adopted ASU 2016-09 effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. As a result of the adoption, tax benefits of $2.4 million were recorded in 2016 reflecting the excess tax benefits. The adoption was on a prospective basis and therefore had no impact on prior years. The Company also recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings of $0.3 million to recognize U.S. net operating loss carryforwards attributable to excess tax benefits on stock compensation that had not been previously recognized to APIC because they did not reduce income taxes payable. In August of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 (ASU 2016-15) "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
