SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY
In connection with the acquisition of the industrial fabrics business of
Clark-Schwebel, Inc. on September 15, 1998, Hexcel obtained a new global credit
facility (the "Senior Credit Facility") to: (a) fund the purchase of the
industrial fabrics business; (b) refinance the Company's existing revolving
credit facility; and (c) provide for ongoing working capital and other financing
requirements of the Company. The Senior Credit Facility was subsequently amended
on January 21, 1999, August 13, 1999 and March 7, 2000, to accommodate among
other things, the issuance of $240.0 of 9.75% senior subordinated notes and the
impact of the decline in the Company's operating results on certain financial
covenants.
Effective with the March 7, 2000, amendment, the Senior Credit Facility
provides Hexcel with approximately $516.5 of borrowing capacity, subject to
certain limitations. Interest on outstanding borrowings ranges from 0.75% to
3.00% in excess of the applicable London interbank rate, or at the option of the
Company, from 0.0% to 2.00% in excess of the base rate of the administrative
agent for the lenders. Prior to March 2000, the upper limits of these interest
ranges were 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively. In addition, the Senior Credit
Facility is subject to a commitment fee that ranges from 0.23% to 0.50% per
annum of the total facility. The Senior Credit Facility is secured by a pledge
of shares of certain of Hexcel's subsidiaries, as well as a security interest in
certain U.S. accounts receivable, inventories, and machinery and equipment.
Further, under certain defined circumstances, the Company has agreed to provide
the lenders with a security interest in certain additional U.S. accounts
receivable, inventories, machinery and equipment, and land and buildings on
September 30, 2000. The Company is subject to various financial covenants and
restrictions under the Senior Credit Facility, including a limitation on the
redemption of capital stock and a general prohibition against the payment of
dividends.
As further discussed in Note 9, Hexcel completed the sale of its Bellingham
aircraft interiors business on April 26, 2000, and used approximately $111.6 of
net proceeds from the sale to repay outstanding term debt under the Senior
Credit Facility. As a result of this repayment, the total borrowing capacity
available to the Company under the Senior Credit Facility was reduced from
approximately $516.5 to approximately $405. Outstanding borrowings under the
Senior Credit Facility totaled $212.8 on April 26, 2000, and unused borrowing
capacity was approximately $182.1 at that date. The Senior Credit Facility is
scheduled to expire in September 2004, except for approximately $59 which is due
for repayment in September 2005.
SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2009
On January 21, 1999, the Company issued $240.0 of 9.75% senior subordinated
notes due 2009. The senior subordinated notes are general unsecured obligations
of Hexcel.
6
SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE PAYABLE TO A RELATED PARTY
The senior subordinated notes payable to a related party, are payable to a
significant shareholder and subsidiaries of the shareholder, and are general
unsecured obligations of Hexcel. Effective February 2000, these notes bear
interest at a rate of 11.0% per annum, a rate which will increase by 0.5% per
annum each February thereafter until the notes mature in 2003. Prior to February
2000 and February 1999, these notes bore interest at a rate of 10.5% and 7.5%
per annum, respectively.

SEPTEMBER 1999 PROGRAM
On September 27, 1999, Hexcel announced a business consolidation program
that entails a rationalization of manufacturing facilities for certain product
lines. The objectives of this program are to eliminate excess capacity and
overhead, improve manufacturing focus and yields, and create additional centers
of manufacturing excellence. Specific actions contemplated by this program
include consolidating the production of certain product lines, including moving
equipment and requalifying the respective product lines; vacating certain leased
facilities; and consolidating the Company's Composite materials business
segment's U.S. marketing, research and technology, and administrative functions
into one location. The consolidation program calls for the elimination of
approximately 400 positions (primarily manufacturing), and a total reduction in
occupied floor space of over 250,000 square feet. Total expenses and cash
expenditures for this program are expected to approximate $33 and $27
respectively. Expected cash expenditures include $6.0 of capital expenditures.
Accrued business consolidation expenses as of March 31, 2000, and related
activity for this program since December 31, 1999, were as follows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------
EMPLOYEE FACILITY &
SEVERANCE & EQUIPMENT
SEPTEMBER 1999 PROGRAM RELOCATION RELOCATION TOTAL
- --------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------
BALANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1999 $ 2.5 $ 0.6 $ 3.1
Business consolidation expenses 0.4 0.8 1.2
Cash expenditures (0.5) (1.1) (1.6)
- --------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ------------ ---- ----------- ------ ----------
BALANCE AS OF MARCH 31, 2000 $ 2.4 $ 0.3 $ 2.7
- --------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ------------ ---- ----------- ------ ----------
For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, Hexcel recognized $1.2 of business
consolidation expenses for this program. As of December 31, 1999 and March 31,
2000, accrued expenses for this program primarily reflected accrued severance
and costs for early termination of certain leases. The Company's policy is to
pay severance over a period of time rather than in a lump-sum amount.
7
DECEMBER 1998 PROGRAM
In December 1998, Hexcel announced consolidation actions within its
Reinforcement Products and Composite Materials business segments. These actions
included the integration of the Company's existing fabrics business with the
U.S. operations of the acquired industrial fabrics business, and the combination
of the Company's U.S., European and Pacific Rim composite materials businesses
into a single global business unit. The objectives of these actions were to
eliminate redundancies, improve manufacturing planning, and enhance customer
service. The Company substantially completed these actions in the first quarter
of 1999, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 100 operating,
sales, marketing and administrative positions.
On March 16, 1999, the Company expanded its actions relating to the
integration of the acquired industrial fabrics business with the announcement of
the closure of its Cleveland, Georgia, facility, which at that time employed
approximately 100 manufacturing positions. This facility produced fabrics for
the electronics market, and the majority of its production equipment was
relocated to the Company's Anderson, South Carolina facility. The closure of
this facility, which was completed on September 3, 1999, was the result of
competitive conditions in the global market for electronic fiberglass materials,
and was not expected at the time of the acquisition of the industrial fabrics
business.
Accrued business consolidation expenses at December 31, 1999 and March 31,
2000 for this program were $1.0 and $0.6, respectively, all of which related to
accrued employee severance for terminated employees, and there were no business
consolidation expenses incurred for this program during the first quarter of
2000. As of March 31, 2000, the December 1998 business consolidation program
was substantially completed, except for the accrued severance of $0.6, which
will be paid over the next two years.

The convertible subordinated notes, due 2003, and the convertible

computations of diluted net income per share, as they were antidilutive. For the
quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, substantially all of the Company's
outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net
income per share. The exercise price for these stock options ranged from
approximately $5.75 to $30.68, with the weighted average price being
approximately $11.18 in 2000 and $12.55 in 1999.

NOTE 7 -- SEGMENT INFORMATION
Hexcel evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on
adjusted income before business consolidation expenses, interest, taxes and
equity in income of affiliated companies ("Adjusted EBIT"), and generally
accounts for intersegment sales based on arm's length prices. Corporate and
certain other expenses are not allocated to the operating segments, except to
the extent that the expense can be directly attributable to the business
segment.
Financial information for the Company's operating segments for the quarters
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, is as follows:

On April 26, 2000, Hexcel completed the sale of its Bellingham aircraft
interiors business to Britax Cabin Interiors, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Britax International plc, for cash proceeds of $115.4, subject to certain
further post-closing adjustments. Net proceeds from the sale were used to repay
approximately $111.6 of the Company's term debt outstanding under its Senior
Credit Facility. The Company expects to recognize a pre-tax gain from the sale
of the Bellingham business of between $65 and $75 in the second quarter of
2000.

SALE OF BELLINGHAM AIRCRAFT INTERIORS BUSINESS
On April 26, 2000, Hexcel completed the sale of its Bellingham aircraft
interiors business to Britax Cabin Interiors, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Britax International plc, for cash proceeds of $115.4 million, subject to
certain further post-closing adjustments. Net proceeds from the sale were used
to repay approximately $111.6 million of the Company's term debt outstanding
under its senior credit facility. The Company expects to recognize a pre-tax
gain from the sale of the Bellingham business of approximately $65 million to
$75 million in the second quarter of 2000.
Pro forma net sales, net income and net income per share, after giving
effect to the sale of the Bellingham division as if the transaction had occurred
at the beginning of 2000, were $263.2 million, $3.4 million and $0.09 per share,
respectively. Pro forma net sales, net income and net income per share for the
same period in 1999, were $304.7 million, $5.9 million and $0.16 per share,
respectively. All of Bellingham's net sales were made to the commercial
aerospace market. Hexcel continues to evaluate strategic alternatives for its
aircraft structures and interiors businesses in Kent, Washington, which is the
remaining component of the Company's Engineered Products business segment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES: Net sales for the first quarter of 2000 decreased 12% to $279.8
million, compared with $316.2 million for the first quarter of 1999, primarily
as a result of lower commercial aerospace sales due to a reduction in The Boeing
Company's ("Boeing") commercial aircraft build rates. First quarter 2000 net
sales were also reduced by certain space and defense contracts which concluded
in the second half of 1999. Further, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar
against the Euro in the last twelve months has reduced revenues in U.S. dollar
terms by approximately $9 million compared to the first quarter of 1999.

Commercial aerospace net sales decreased 17% to $151.9 million for the
first quarter of 2000, from $183.9 million for the first quarter of 1999. The
decline in sales primarily reflects the impact of the decrease in aircraft
production rates by Boeing that commenced last year, in anticipation of lower
aircraft deliveries in 2000. Approximately 28% and 10% of Hexcel's 1999 net
sales were identifiable as sales to Boeing and related subcontractors, and
Airbus Industrie ("Airbus") and related subcontractors, respectively. Planned
deliveries of commercial aircraft by Boeing declined from 620 aircraft in 1999,
to 490 aircraft in 2000. Hexcel's first quarter 1999 net sales reflected the
peak of Boeing's commercial aircraft production, as the Company delivers its
products on average six to nine months ahead of the delivery of an aircraft.
Boeing has publicly indicated that it may be able to sustain aircraft
production at the current level of 490 per year, due in part to the continued
economic recovery in Asia, while Airbus is projecting a modest increase in
aircraft deliveries to more than 300 per year. At the same time, independent
forecasts indicate continued growth in the production of regional and business
aircraft.
Space and defense net sales for the first quarter of 2000 decreased 31% to
$26.4 million, from $38.4 million for the first quarter of 1999. This decrease
primarily reflects the conclusion of certain space and defense contracts in the
second half of 1999, as well as the impact of declining demand for satellites
and satellite launch vehicles in response to recent launch failures and concerns
about the financial viability of certain satellite ventures. However, Hexcel is
currently qualified to supply materials to a broad range of military aircraft
and helicopters scheduled to enter full-scale production in the near future.
These programs include the V-22 (Osprey) tilt-rotor, the F/A-18E/F (Hornet), the
F-22 (Raptor), the European Fighter Aircraft (Typhoon), and the RAH-66
(Comanche) and NH90 helicopters.
Electronics net sales increased 3% to $43.6 million for the first quarter
of 2000, from $42.3 million for the first quarter of 1999. The increase in sales
reflects sales volume growth for Hexcel's lightweight fiberglass fabrics used in
electronic applications, partially offset by a decrease in sales of heavyweight
electronic fabrics. The increase in sales of lightweight fiberglass fabrics
reflects both the growing use of electronic devices throughout the world, as
well as the Company's success in securing additional business from a major
producer of high-quality printed circuit board laminates.
13
Demand for lightweight fiberglass fabrics continues to grow and global
manufacturing capacity appears to be tightening. During the first quarter of
2000, Hexcel started to switch some of its heavyweight fabric production
capacity to meet lightweight fabric demand. In addition, the Company plans to
install additional lightweight fabric looms by the end of the year to meet the
expected continuing growth in demand, and is evaluating how it may further
expand its lightweight fabric manufacturing capacity to support market growth.
Industrial net sales for the first quarter of 2000 increased 12% to $57.9
million, from $51.6 million for the first quarter of 1999, primarily reflecting
growth in sales for wind energy applications and increased sales of composite
materials to the automotive industry.
GROSS MARGIN: Gross margin for the first quarter of 2000 was $62.2 million,
or 22.2% of net sales, compared with $70.8 million, or 22.4% of net sales, for
the first quarter of 1999. The decline in gross margin dollars, relative to the
first quarter of 1999, reflects lower sales levels, while the maintenance of a
comparable gross margin percentage reflects the beneficial impact of the
Company's cost reduction activities.
OPERATING INCOME: Operating income was $21.8 million in the first quarter
of 2000, or 7.8% of net sales, compared with $27.1 million in the first quarter
of 1999, or 8.6% of net sales. Excluding business consolidation expenses,
operating income in the first quarter of 2000 was $23.0 million or 8.2% of net
sales, compared with $29.9 million, or 9.5% of net sales, in the first quarter
of 1999. The aggregate decrease in operating income, excluding business
consolidation expenses, reflects the decrease in net sales, partially offset by
a reduction in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses over the
first quarter of 1999. SG&A expenses were $32.9 million, or 11.8% of net sales
for the first quarter of 2000 compared with $34.4 million, or 10.9% of net sales
for the first quarter of 1999. Research and technology expenses were $6.3
million, or 2.3% of net sales for the first quarter of 2000 compared with $6.5
million, or 2.1% of net sales for the first quarter of 1999.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY
In connection with the acquisition of the industrial fabrics business of
Clark-Schwebel, Inc. on September 15, 1998, Hexcel obtained a new global credit
facility (the "Senior Credit Facility") to: (a) fund the purchase of the
industrial fabrics business; (b) refinance the Company's existing credit
facility; and (c) provide for ongoing working capital and other financing
requirements of the Company. The Senior Credit Facility was subsequently amended
on January 21, 1999, August 13, 1999 and March 7, 2000, to accommodate, among
other things, the issuance of $240.0 million of 9.75% senior subordinated notes
and the impact of the decline in the Company's operating results on certain
financial covenants.
14
Effective with the March 7, 2000, amendment, the Senior Credit Facility
provides Hexcel with approximately $516.5 million of borrowing capacity, subject
to certain limitations. Interest on outstanding borrowings ranges from 0.75% to
3.00% in excess of the applicable London interbank rate, or at the option of the
Company, from 0.0% to 2.00% in excess of the base rate of the administrative
agent for the lenders. Prior to March 2000, the upper limits of these interest
ranges were 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively. In addition, the Senior Credit
Facility is subject to a commitment fee that ranges from 0.23% to 0.50% per
annum of the total facility. The Senior Credit Facility is secured by a pledge
of shares of certain of Hexcel's subsidiaries, as well as a security interest in
certain U.S. accounts receivable, inventories, and machinery and equipment.
Further, under certain defined circumstances, the Company has agreed to provide
the lenders with a security interest in certain additional U.S. accounts
receivable, inventories, machinery and equipment, and land and buildings on
September 30, 2000. The Company is subject to various financial covenants and
restrictions under the Senior Credit Facility, including a limitation on the
redemption of capital stock and a general prohibition against the payment of
dividends.
Hexcel completed the sale of its Bellingham aircraft interiors business on
April 26, 2000, and used approximately $111.6 million of net proceeds from the
sale to repay outstanding term debt under the Senior Credit Facility. As a
result of this repayment, the total borrowing capacity available to the Company
under the Senior Credit Facility was reduced from approximately $516.5 million
to approximately $405 million. Outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit
Facility totaled $212.8 million on April 26, 2000, and unused borrowing
capacity was approximately $182.1 million at that date.
The Company expects that the Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to
fund its worldwide operations for the foreseeable future. The Senior Credit
Facility is scheduled to expire in September 2004, except for approximately $59
million which is due for repayment in September 2005. Further discussion of the
Company's financial resources is contained in Note 3 to the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures totaled $4.4 million for the first three months of
2000 compared to $9.4 million for the first three months of 1999. The Company
expects total capital expenditures for 2000 of approximately $40 million.
ADJUSTED EBITDA, CASH FLOWS AND RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
FIRST QUARTER, 2000: Earnings before business consolidation expenses,
interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and equity in income of affiliated
companies ("Adjusted EBITDA") for the first quarter of 2000 was $38.0 million.
Net cash used for operating activities was $6.1 million, as working capital
changes of $18.0 million and deferred income taxes of $4.5 million more than
offset $2.6 million of net income, $15.0 million of depreciation and
amortization and cash provided by all other operating activities.
Net cash used for investing activities was $7.8 million, reflecting the
Company's capital expenditures and investments in affiliated companies for the
quarter. Net cash provided by financing activities was $17.8 million.
FIRST QUARTER, 1999: Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 1999 was
$45.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.3 million, as
$5.2 million of net income and $15.6 million of non-cash depreciation and
amortization more than offset cash used by all other operating activities.
Net cash used for investing activities was $9.4 million, reflecting the
Company's capital expenditures for the quarter. Net cash used for financing
activities was $12.4 million, primarily reflecting $9.0 million of debt issuance
costs pertaining to the issuance of the Company's senior subordinated notes.
Adjusted EBITDA has been presented to provide a measure of Hexcel's
operating performance that is commonly used by investors and financial analysts
to analyze and compare companies. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
similarly titled financial measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA does not
represent alternative measures of the Company's cash flows or operating income,
and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of
performance presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
15
Reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the
quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, are as follows:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- ----------------

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the quarters ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, were 1.2x and 1.4x, respectively. The calculation of earnings to
fixed charges assumes that one-third of the Company's rental expense is
attributable to interest expense.

SEPTEMBER 1999 PROGRAM
On September 27, 1999, Hexcel announced a business consolidation program
that entails a rationalization of manufacturing facilities for certain product
lines. The objectives of this program are to eliminate excess capacity and
overhead, improve manufacturing focus and yields, and create additional centers
of manufacturing excellence. Specific actions contemplated by this program
include consolidating the production of certain product lines, including moving
equipment and requalifying the respective product lines; vacating certain leased
facilities; and consolidating the Company's Composite materials business
segment's U.S. marketing, research and technology, and administrative functions
into one location. The consolidation program calls for the elimination of
approximately 400 positions (primarily manufacturing), and a total reduction in
occupied floor space of over 250,000 square feet. Total expenses and cash
expenditures for this program are expected to approximate $33 million and $27
million respectively. Expected cash expenditures include $6.0 million of capital
expenditures.
16
Accrued business consolidation expenses as of March 31, 2000, and
related activity for this program since December 31, 1999, were as follows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------

- --------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ------------ ---- ----------- ------ ----------
BALANCE AS OF MARCH 31, 2000 $ 2.4 0.3 2.7
- --------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ------------ ---- ----------- ------ ----------
For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, Hexcel recognized $1.2 million of
business consolidation expenses for this program. As of December 31, 1999 and
March 31, 2000, accrued expenses for this program primarily reflected accrued
severance and costs for early termination of certain leases. The Company's
policy is to pay severance over a period of time rather than in a lump-sum
amount.
DECEMBER 1998 PROGRAM
In December 1998, Hexcel announced consolidation actions within its
Reinforcement Products and Composite Materials business segments. These actions
included the integration of the Company's existing fabrics business with the
U.S. operations of the acquired industrial fabrics business, and the combination
of the Company's U.S., European and Pacific Rim composite materials businesses
into a single global business unit. The objectives of these actions were to
eliminate redundancies, improve manufacturing planning, and enhance customer
service. The Company substantially completed these actions in the first quarter
of 1999, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 100 operating,
sales, marketing and administrative positions.
On March 16, 1999, the Company expanded its actions relating to the
integration of the acquired industrial fabrics business with the announcement of
the closure of its Cleveland, Georgia, facility, which at that time employed
approximately 100 manufacturing positions. This facility produced fabrics for
the electronics market, and the majority of its production equipment was
relocated to the Company's Anderson, South Carolina facility. The closure of
this facility, which was completed on September 3, 1999, was the result of
competitive conditions in the global market for electronic fiberglass materials,
and was not expected at the time of the acquisition of the industrial fabrics
business.
Accrued business consolidation expenses at December 31, 1999 and March 31,
2000 for this program, were $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, all of
which related to accrued employee severance for terminated employees, and there
were no business consolidation expenses incurred for this program during the
first quarter of 2000. As of March 31, 2000, the December 1998 business
consolidation program was substantially completed, except for the accrued
severance of $0.6 million, which will be paid over the next two years.
17
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition," which
provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in
financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria
that must be met in order to recognize revenue, and provides guidance for
disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. In March 2000, the SEC
issued SAB 101A, "Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which
extends the effective date of SAB 101 to the second quarter of 2000. At this
time, management is still assessing the impact of SAB 101 on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"). This Statement requires companies to record derivatives on the balance
sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses
resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for
depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge
accounting. SFAS 133, which will be adopted on January 1, 2001, is not expected
to have a material impact on Hexcel's consolidated financial statements.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
Certain statements contained in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," that are not of historical fact,

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
On April 26, 2000, Hexcel completed the sale of its Bellingham aircraft
interiors business to Britax Cabin Interiors, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Britax International plc, for cash proceeds of $115.4 million, subject to
certain further post-closing adjustments. Net proceeds from the sale were used
to repay $111.6 million of the Company's term debt outstanding under its
variable rate Senior Credit Facility. Assuming a 10% favorable and unfavorable
change in the underlying weighted average interest rates of the Company's
variable rate debt, the 1999 pro forma net loss would have been as follows:
