How large is the new buyback, and how does it change the company's 2026 repurchase total?

The new program adds $100 million, which raises expected 2026 share repurchases to $260 million. The $100 million is executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan that the company expects to complete by the end of August 2026.

What repurchase authorization remains after this program?

The company had $390 million of total authorization available before the plan. It expects $290 million to remain once the $100 million plan and the existing $60 million program initiated in January 2026 are completed.

What is a Rule 10b5-1 plan and why does it matter here?

A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a pre-arranged trading program that lets a company repurchase shares through a broker under set terms. It can allow buybacks during periods when the company would otherwise be restricted by self-imposed blackout windows or insider trading considerations.

Does the buyback signal anything about the company's financial condition or outlook?

Management attributed the expansion to confidence in the Pivot to Growth strategy, a healthy balance sheet, and the long-term financial outlook. The filing does not include new financial results, so investors should evaluate this statement alongside the company's periodic reports and its capital investment plans.

Where can investors find detailed information on the repurchases?

The company says repurchase information will be included in its periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K as required by SEC rules. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K.

CW 8-K SEC Disclosure — Aug 19, 2026

01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed August 19, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

On August 18, 2026, Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) announced a $100 million^a expansion of its 2026 share repurchase program, raising expected 2026 repurchases to $260 million.

The company adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan on August 18 to execute the $100 million^b purchase. Purchases cannot begin before August 18 and are expected to be completed by the end of August 2026. Daily purchase volumes are capped at the Rule 10b-18 maximum daily target volume, and a broker selected by the company executes the trades under the plan's terms.

The filing says the company had $390 million^c of total repurchase authorization available before the plan. After the new $100 million plan is completed, it expects $290 million of authorization to remain. That remaining figure also reflects the existing $60 million program initiated in January 2026, which management expects to finish this year.

The 10b5-1 structure lets the company buy back shares during periods when it would otherwise be restricted by self-imposed blackout windows or insider trading considerations. Management framed the expansion as reflecting confidence in the company's "Pivot to Growth" strategy, its healthy balance sheet, and its long-term financial outlook. The filing is a disclosure of capital allocation intent and does not include new financial results.

Investors should weigh the buyback against the company's broader capital needs, since the filing notes that unplanned changes in capital investment requirements could affect repurchase activity. Detailed repurchase data will appear in future Forms 10-Q and 10-K.
