Curtiss-Wright Corporation, Page 1               Exhibit 99.1 NEWS RELEASE CURTISS-WRIGHT REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND RAISES FULL-YEAR 2024 GUIDANCE DAVIDSON, N.C. – August 7, 2024 – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) reports financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. Second Quarter 2024 Highlights: • Reported sales of $785 million, up 11% ; • Reported operating income of $129 million, operating margin of 16.4%, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.58; • Adjusted operating income of $133 million, up 16%; • Adjusted operating margin of 17.0%, up 60 basis points; • Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.67, up 24%; • New orders of $995 million, up 18%, reflected a book-to-bill of approximately 1.3x driven by strong demand within our Aerospace & Defense (A&D) markets; • Backlog of $3.2 billion, up 13% year-to-date; and • Free cash flow (FCF) of $100 million, generating 97% Adjusted FCF conversion. Raised Full-Year 2024 Adjusted Financial Guidance: • Sales increased to new range of 6% to 8% growth (previously 5% to 7%), driven by strong growth in our A&D markets; • Operating income increased to new range of 6% to 9% growth (previously 5% to 8%); • Maintained operating margin range of 17.4% to 17.6%, flat to up 20 basis points compared with the prior year; • Diluted EPS increased to new range of $10.40 to $10.65, up 11% to 14% (previously $10.10 to $10.40, up 8% to 11%); • Reduced effective tax rate by 100 bps to 22.5% following consolidation of U.K. legal entity structure, and • Free cash flow increased to new range of $425 to $445 million, up 3% to 8% (previously $415 to $435 million, up 0% to 5%), and continues to reflect greater than 105% FCF conversion. "Curtiss-Wright delivered strong second quarter results, highlighted by mid-teens revenue growth in our A&D end markets, continued operating margin expansion, and 24% growth in Adjusted diluted EPS," said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "We once again demonstrated robust order activity, as bookings increased 18% year over year, yielding a book-to-bill of 1.3x. Based on the strong first half results and our outlook for the remainder of 2024, we have increased our full-year Adjusted guidance for sales, operating income, diluted EPS and free cash flow." "A s we discussed at our Investor Day event in May, we continue to build momentum through the execution of our Pivot to Growth strategy. We remain focused on accelerating operational excellence to drive margin expansion and generate funding to reinvest into the business. As part of this strategy, we recently launched restructuring actions to support volume increases, improve efficiencies and further optimize our operations. These actions are expected to produce both recurring operational savings and increased free cash flow." Curtiss-Wright Corporation, Page 2 2024 Restructuring Program and Other Cost Savings Initiatives • During the second quarter of 2024, the Company initiated restructuring actions across all three segments, principally within the Aerospace & Industrial segment. These initiatives are expected to result in approximately $15 million in restructuring costs in 2024, and are expected to yield initial savings in 2024, as well as approximately $10 million in annualized savings in 2025; and • Curtiss-Wright launched a U.K. legal entity consolidation program anticipated to facilitate more efficient cash repatriation. This initiative is expected to generate approximately $5 million in annualized savings, based on a 100 basis point reduction in the effective tax rate, and approximately $5 million in annual recurring free cash flow. Acquisition of Ultra Energy • On June 3, 2024, the Company announced the acquisition of Ultra Nuclear Limited and Weed Instrument Co., Inc. (“Ultra Energy”) for $200 million in cash. • Ultra Energy is a leading global provider of safety-critical monitoring systems, temperature and pressure sensors, and reactor protection and control systems principally to the commercial nuclear and A&D markets; • The business is expected to be accretive to Curtiss-Wright's adjusted diluted earnings per share in its first full year of ownership, excluding first year purchase accounting costs, and produce a free cash flow conversion rate in excess of 100%; and • The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024, subject to U.K. regulatory approval, and the acquired business will operate within Curtiss-Wright's Naval & Power segment.

Curtiss-Wright believes that these Adjusted (non-GAAP) measures provide investors with improved transparency in order to better measure Curtiss-Wright’s ongoing operating and financial performance and better comparisons of our key financial metrics to our peers.

Curtiss-Wright encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Reconciliations of “Reported” GAAP amounts to “Adjusted” non-GAAP amounts are furnished within this release. The following definitions are provided: Adjusted Sales, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted EPS These Adjusted financials are defined as Reported Sales, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share under GAAP excluding: (i) the impact of first year purchase accounting costs associated with acquisitions, specifically one-time inventory step-up, backlog amortization, deferred revenue adjustments and transaction costs; (ii) costs associated with the Company's 2024 Restructuring Program; and (iii) the sale or divestiture of a business or product line, as applicable.
