(Reuters) - Curtiss-Wright Corp (CW.N) cut its second-quarter and full-year earnings outlook, citing costs related to the restructuring of a segment and unanticipated investments in China, sending its shares sliding 7 percent before the bell.
The aerospace and defense component maker said it will take second-quarter non-cash charges of about 8 cents per share related to the restructuring of its metal treatment segment.
The company also expects unanticipated investments in a China program to hurt earnings by 8 cents per share in the quarter.
Higher labor costs for painting, disassembly, inspection and packaging have pushed up investments in China.
The Parsippany, New Jersey-based company now expects second-quarter earnings of 44 cents to 48 cents per share, down from its prior outlook of 60 cents to 64 cents.
Curtiss-Wright cut its full-year earnings outlook to $2.50 to $2.60 per share, from $2.58 to $2.68 per share.
Curtiss-Wright shares were down 7 percent in trading before the bell. They closed at $30.66 on Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange.
