TRIUMPH GROUP REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2016 RESULTS


Net sales for first quarter fiscal year 2016 were $959.6 million

Operating income for first quarter fiscal year 2016 was $107.9 million and included a pension curtailment charge of $2.9 million. Excluding this charge, operating income was $110.7 million, reflecting an operating margin of 12%

Net income for first quarter fiscal year 2016 was $62.7 million, or $1.27 per diluted share. Excluding the curtailment charge noted above, earnings per share were $1.31 per diluted share

Cash flow utilization from operations for first quarter fiscal year 2016 was $148.5 million


BERWYN, Pa. - July 29, 2015 - Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE: TGI) today reported financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2016, which ended June 30, 2015.

“Our first quarter results demonstrated continued strong performance in our Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services Group, underscored by year over year increases in net sales and solid operating margins,” said Richard C. Ill, Triumph’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “While we are taking measures to drive performance in the Aerostructures segment, the results do not reflect the full potential of the business, notwithstanding the impact of certain sunsetting programs and other external factors. However, we are pleased with the progress on the Gulfstream wing programs as we continue to see improved labor and quality performance with cash burn lower than anticipated in the quarter.”

Mr. Ill continued, “Triumph has begun to identify and implement cost reduction measures that will benefit results in the near-term. Savings and efficiencies will come from areas including optimizing internal supply chain, enhancing sourcing practices, and reducing discretionary spending and personnel. Beyond these near-term tactical measures, we are also conducting a comprehensive review across all of our businesses, and the Aerostructures segment in particular, to identify opportunities for sustainable

growth and enhanced shareholder value. The review takes a holistic look at the portfolio and is focused on improving execution, increasing profitability, expanding margins, generating strong cash flow and leveraging the strength of our portfolio. While there is still more work to do on both tactical and strategic measures, we are operating with a sense of urgency and focus.”

For the fiscal first quarter of 2016, net sales were $959.6 million, a seven percent increase compared to fiscal first quarter 2015 net sales of $896.9 million. Organic sales for the quarter decreased ten percent compared to the fiscal first quarter 2015 primarily due to production rate reductions on key Aerostructures programs.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $62.7 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared to $128.2 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, for the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The quarter’s results included a one-time non-cash curtailment charge of approximately $2.9 million pre-tax ($0.04 per diluted share) related to an amendment to the Triumph Aerostructures pension plan included in the recently ratified UAW collective bargaining agreement. Excluding this charge, net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $64.6 million, or $1.31 per diluted share. The prior fiscal year’s quarter included a gain of $134.7 million pre-tax ($1.65 per diluted share), net of legal fees, related to the settlement of the Eaton litigation as well as non-recurring costs totaling $31.3 million ($0.38 per diluted share). Excluding these items, earnings per share for the prior fiscal year quarter were $1.19 per diluted share. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was 49.3 million shares.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, cash flow utilization from operations was $148.5 million, which reflected the earlier than expected receipt of certain customer payments during the fourth quarter fiscal year 2015 as well as the timing of spending on key development programs.

Segment Results

Aerostructures

The Aerostructures segment reported net sales of $611.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 compared to $612.2 million in the prior fiscal year period. Organic sales for the quarter declined fourteen percent primarily due to decreased production on the C-17, 747-8, A330 and G450/G550 programs. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $66.0 million, compared to operating income of $68.8 million for the prior year period and included $1.9 million of pre-tax costs related to initial facility consolidation actions. The segment’s operating results for the quarter included a net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustment on long-term contracts of $1.3 million. The segment’s operating margin for the quarter was eleven percent. Excluding the 747-8 program, the segment’s operating margin for the quarter was thirteen percent.

Aerospace Systems

The Aerospace Systems segment reported net sales of $277.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 compared to $219.9 million in the prior year period, an increase of twenty-six percent. Organic sales for the quarter declined three percent primarily due to order timing on certain military programs

and slower commercial rotorcraft demand. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $51.3 million compared to $37.4 million for the prior year period, an increase of thirty-seven percent, reflecting an operating margin of eighteen percent. Organic operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was nineteen percent as compared to seventeen percent for the prior year period.

Aftermarket Services

The Aftermarket Services segment reported net sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 of $74.7 million compared to $67.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of eleven percent. Organic sales were flat for the quarter. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $10.0 million compared to $10.5 million for the prior year period, reflecting an operating margin of thirteen percent.

Outlook

Based on current aircraft production rates, the company expects revenue for the fiscal year 2016 to be in the range of $3.9 to $4.0 billion and earnings per share, excluding the first quarter curtailment charge, for fiscal year 2016 to be $5.50 to $5.75 per diluted share. This guidance does not include costs associated with strategic actions that may be taken as a result of the ongoing comprehensive business review. Cash available for debt reduction, acquisitions and share repurchases for fiscal year 2016 is expected to be in the range of $125 to $150 million.

Mr. Ill continued, “We expect Triumph’s performance to strengthen as we move through fiscal year 2016, particularly in the second half of the year, driven by growth in Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services and the implementation of meaningful cost saving initiatives. Our full year guidance reflects our initial cost-savings assumptions, which we will update as we progress through the review process. We are confident that we will achieve our cash flow targets for the year by remaining focused on execution, controlling our costs and leveraging the strength of our portfolio.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosures
 
We prepare and publicly release quarterly unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") guidance on Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, we also disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures in our public releases. Currently, the non-GAAP financial measure that we disclose is Adjusted EBITDA, which is our net income before interest, income taxes, amortization of acquired contract liabilities, curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives, legal settlements, depreciation and amortization. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated and an operating segment basis in our earnings releases, investor conference calls and filings with the SEC. The non-GAAP financial measures that we use may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Also, in the future, we may disclose different non-GAAP financial measures in order to help our investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare our future results of operations to our previously reported results of operations.
 
We view Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure and, as such, we believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is net income. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude from net income the financial items that we believe should be separately identified to provide additional analysis of the financial components of the day-to-day operation of our business. We have outlined below the type and scope of these exclusions and the material limitations on the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as a result of these exclusions. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net income (loss), income from continuing operations, or as an indicator of any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for any GAAP financial measure, including net income (loss) or income from continuing operations. In addition, we urge investors and potential investors in our securities to carefully review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income set forth below,  in our earnings releases and in other filings with the SEC and to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Reports on Form 10-K that are filed with the SEC, as well as our quarterly earnings releases, and compare the GAAP financial information with our Adjusted EBITDA.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to internally measure our operating and management performance and by investors as a supplemental financial measure to evaluate the performance of our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. We have spent more than 15 years expanding our product and service capabilities partially through acquisitions of complementary businesses. Due to the expansion of our operations, which included acquisitions, our net income has included significant charges for depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes these charges and provides meaningful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from charges for depreciation and amortization. We believe the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our performance from quarter to quarter and from year to year. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of our ongoing operating performance because the isolation of non-cash income and expenses, such as amortization of acquired contract liabilities, depreciation and amortization, and non-operating items, such as interest and income taxes, provides additional information about our cost structure, and, over time, helps track our operating progress. In addition, investors, securities analysts and others have regularly relied on Adjusted EBITDA to provide a financial measure by which to compare our operating performance against that of other companies in our industry.
 
Set forth below are descriptions of the financial items that have been excluded from our net income to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and the material limitations associated with using this non-GAAP financial measure as compared to net income:
Legal settlements may be useful to investors to consider because they reflect gains or losses from disputes with third parties. We do not believe that these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives may be useful to investors to consider because it represents the current period impact of the change in defined benefit obligation due to the reduction in future service costs. We do not believe these charges (gains) necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosures (continued)

Amortization of acquired contract liabilities may be useful for investors to consider because it represents the non-cash earnings on the fair value of below market contracts acquired through acquisitions. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.

Amortization expenses may be useful for investors to consider because it represents the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of product rights and licenses. We do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash charges related to our operating cost structure.
 
Depreciation may be useful for investors to consider because they generally represent the wear and tear on our property and equipment used in our operations. We do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash charges related to our operating cost structure.
 
The amount of interest expense and other we incur may be useful for investors to consider and may result in current cash inflows or outflows. However, we do not consider the amount of interest expense and other to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business.
 
Income tax expense may be useful for investors to consider because it generally represents the taxes which may be payable for the period and the change in deferred income taxes during the period and may reduce the amount of funds otherwise available for use in our business.  However, we do not consider the amount of income tax expense to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business.
 
Management compensates for the above-described limitations of using non-GAAP measures by using a non-GAAP measure only to supplement our GAAP results and to provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.

Cash provided by operations, before pension contributions has been provided for consistency and comparability. We also use free cash flow available for debt reduction as a key factor in planning for and consideration of strategic acquisitions, stock repurchases and the repayment of debt. This measure should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to operating results presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles cash provided by operations, before pension contributions to cash provided by operations, as well as cash provided by operations to free cash flow available for debt reduction.
