Item 8.01 Other Events

On September 10, 2025, Curtiss-Wright Corporation (the “Company”) adopted a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company implemented this written trading plan in connection with its previously announced share repurchase programs, under which the total amount available for repurchases under current authorizations is $334 million.

The trading plan will include purchases in the total amount of $200 million. This written trading plan will not be effective before September 10, 2025, and will cease upon full use of the $200 million, which is expected to conclude in the fourth quarter of 2025. Following completion of this plan, the Company expects to have $134 million in authorization remaining.

Adopting a trading plan that satisfies the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 allows a company to repurchase its shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so due to self-imposed trading blackout periods or pursuant to insider trading laws. A broker selected by the Company will have the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the plan to repurchase shares on the Company’s behalf in accordance with the terms of the plan. After the expiration of the current trading plan, the Company may from time to time enter into subsequent trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to its share repurchase program.

Information regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

This report contains forward-looking information, as that term is defined under the Exchange Act, including information regarding purchases by the Company of its common stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan. By their nature, forward-looking information and statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and contingencies, including changes in price and volume and the volatility of the Company’s common stock; adverse developments affecting either or both of prices and trading of exchange-traded securities, including securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange; and unexpected or otherwise unplanned or alternative requirements with respect to the capital investments of the Company. The Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2025, as well as our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter, includes information regarding other risk factors and cautionary information. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements or information, including those contained in this report.

On September 10, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the above-described transaction. A copy of the press release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
