CW Curtiss Wright Corp

Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW) today announced that it has sold its Cimarron Energy, Inc. ("Cimarron") business to Turnbridge Capital, LLC for $100 million in cash.

"This transaction is consistent with our stated objective to divest non-core operations in support of our operating margin improvement initiatives and our drive to become a top quartile performer in our peer group," said David C. Adams, President and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "Despite Cimarron's solid track record serving the upstream oil and gas market, we did not possess enough scale or critical mass to ensure that we would capture a leading position. As a result, we believe that these assets will be a better strategic fit with a new owner that is more strategically aligned with the oil and gas market. Overall, Curtiss-Wright remains committed to our long-term goals of generating significant free cash flow and operating margin expansion."

Cimarron provides production, processing and environmental equipment and solutions essential to the production of oil and gas. Its energy production and processing equipment includes separators, combination separator/hydrator units, flow back and oil treating equipment. Cimarron also manufactures a full suite of environmental solutions that control toxic well site emissions, provide improved equipment energy efficiency and enable remote monitoring of equipment functions. Products include emission control devices, burner management systems and vapor recovery towers, as well as re-manufactured and repaired production and processing equipment and related parts.
