Hexcel management has prepared and is responsible for the consolidated financial statements and the related financial data contained in this report. These financial statements, which include estimates, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that such statements reflect fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the company.

Hexcel maintains accounting and other control systems, which management believes provide reasonable assurance that financial records are reliable for purposes of preparing financial statements and that assets are safeguarded and accounted for properly. Underlying this concept of reasonable assurance is the premise that the cost of control should not exceed benefits derived from control.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews and monitors the financial reports and accounting practices of Hexcel. These reports and practices are reviewed regularly by management and by the company’s independent accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, in connection with the audit of the company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee, composed solely of outside directors, meets periodically, separately and jointly, with management and the independent accountants.
