Focused on delivering on customer commitments, becoming predictably profitable and driving organic growth

BERWYN, Pa. - May 4, 2016 - Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE: TGI) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 and provided an update on the company’s implementation of the ‘One Triumph’ transformation strategy.

“During the fourth quarter and early April, we completed our comprehensive review of the company as planned, which focused on improving operational performance, identifying organic growth opportunities, assessing end-market attractiveness and improving our facility footprint and utilization,” said Daniel J. Crowley, Triumph’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “As part of our assessment, we also reviewed each business’ ability to compete and win, and we’re confident that through the implementation of our transformation strategy, Triumph has a strong base from which to grow and deliver the performance shareholders and customers expect. Last month we took a critical step forward in implementing the first phase of Triumph’s transformation by consolidating from six to four market-focused business units, substantially reducing the number of operating companies and locations and launching the Triumph Operating System.”

Mr. Crowley continued, “Our actions to simplify our company and operate as One Triumph Team reflect a commitment to our shareholders, customers and employees to sharpen Triumph’s focus, improve performance, generate organic growth and deliver predictable profitability. We are moving immediately to begin realizing the benefits of our transformation strategy. We expect improved performance in fiscal year 2017 and follow through in fiscal years 2018 and 2019.”

Commenting on the quarter and fiscal year results, Mr. Crowley added, “Triumph’s full year and adjusted fourth quarter results reflect strong operating margins in the Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services segments as we reduce costs, integrate our supply chain and strengthen our customer relationships. Additionally, we generated a significant amount of cash during the quarter. Continuing our cost discipline and performance improvement efforts will yield consistent cash generation going forward.”

Operating results were impacted by several significant adjustments. The write-off of previously incurred development costs on the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 program will substantially reduce the risk the Bombardier program poses to future earnings as it transitions from development to production.
 

‘One Triumph’ Transformation Strategy
As part of its transformation strategy, Triumph has taken the initial actions necessary to enable the company to operate as One Triumph Team and leverage its scale in support of delivering predictable profitability:
Realigning business units. On April 12, 2016, Triumph established four market-focused business units (Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures, Precision Components, and Product Support) to better support its go-to-market strategies and allow the company to more effectively satisfy the needs of its customers while continuing to deliver on its commitments. Triumph expects to immediately realize approximately $10.0 million in annual savings as a result of the realigned structure. As previously announced, Triumph will report its financial performance in four segments, consistent with its realigned business unit structure, effective with the company’s first fiscal quarter of 2017.
Reducing the number of operating companies from 47 to 22 businesses. Triumph has grown through acquisitions that have significantly expanded the company’s platforms and capabilities, making it a critical supplier and partner to the leading Tier 1 aerospace and defense OEMs. Triumph will rationalize its structure and combine operating companies with closely-related products, capabilities and customers to eliminate redundancies, better align talent, enhance supply chain economies, and drive value through a consolidated functional support structure.
Optimize portfolio. As part of its strategic review of the business, the company continues to review its portfolio to enhance its capabilities and reduce debt.
Consolidating facilities. Following an evaluation of its facility footprint, utilization, and cost structure, Triumph plans to reduce its overall footprint by approximately 3.5 million square feet, or 24% percent of total square footage. Although the consolidations benefit all business segments, the majority will occur in the Aerostructures segment. The facility consolidations are expected to result in workforce reductions of approximately eight percent over the next year. Individual consolidations will be announced and implemented on a time-phased basis and, once completed, will generate approximately $55.0 million in annualized pre-tax cost savings.

Strengthening leadership team. Triumph has hired and promoted several executives to fill key leadership roles and strengthen its shared services functions in support of the company’s business unit realignment and overall transformation efforts.

Standardizing operating procedures and providing oversight for the Transformation. In support of Triumph’s transformation and objective to operate as a more unified enterprise, the company will deploy the Triumph Operating System (TOS), a business management system that emphasizes lean operations through standard, repeatable practices. This operating system will be instrumental in driving growth, innovation, and execution across all of the company’s businesses. The company has also created the Transformation Delivery Office (TDO), which is responsible for driving the successful realization of the transformation plan and execution of the ‘One Triumph’ strategy and Triumph Operating System. The TDO will govern and drive the implementation of critical projects needed to achieve breakthrough value and attain full potential results.

In connection with the facility consolidation efforts and other fourth quarter activities, Triumph incurred approximately $75.6 million in pre-tax restructuring charges during the fourth quarter fiscal year 2016 of which approximately $21.2 million was non-cash. The company expects to incur an additional $77.3 million of restructuring charges in fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2018, of which $15.6 million are estimated to be non-cash.

Mr. Crowley continued, “We are now implementing our transformation as we take decisive action to improve execution, reduce costs and operate as an integrated enterprise as part of an overall effort to drive value. We remain confident in our strategic plan and the path we are taking to position Triumph for long-term success.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016, net sales were $1.058 billion, a two percent decrease from fiscal fourth quarter 2015 net sales of $1.080 billion. Organic sales for the quarter decreased three percent primarily due to rate reductions on key Aerostructures programs.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 was ($1.080) billion, or ($21.93) per diluted share, compared to $82.8 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 was $65.3 million or $1.32 per diluted share and included the net charges noted below. In addition, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 also included a ($142.1 million), or ($2.88) per share, negative impact due to the establishment of a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. These results compare to earnings per share for the prior fiscal year’s fourth quarter of $1.71 per diluted share, excluding restructuring charges. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 was 49.3 million shares.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the company generated $257.8 million of cash flow from operations.

The company has extended the maturity date of the existing $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) and $337.5 million term loan (“Term Loan,” and together with the Revolver, the “Credit Facilities”) to April 2021. In addition, the covenants of the Credit Facilities were amended to reflect the fourth quarter charges and the restructuring costs to be recognized in fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2018. The amendment and extension provides the company with liquidity and the flexibility to proceed with its transformation plan while remaining in compliance with its bank covenants.

Full Fiscal Year 2016 Results

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, net sales totaled $3.886 billion, a slight decrease compared to fiscal year 2015 net sales of $3.889 billion. Organic sales for the fiscal year decreased ten percent, partially offset by the acquisition of Triumph Thermal Systems-Maryland.

Net loss for fiscal year 2016 was ($1.044) billion, or ($21.21) earnings per share compared to $238.7 million or $4.68 per diluted share for fiscal year 2015. Adjusted net income for fiscal year 2016 was $263.3 million or $5.34 earnings per diluted share and included the adjustments noted below. This compares to adjusted net income for the prior fiscal year of $292.1 million or $5.73 earnings per diluted share, excluding adjustments during the 2015 fiscal year period. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year 2016 was 49.3 million shares.

Segment Results

Aerostructures

The Aerostructures segment reported net sales of $657.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 compared to $705.4 million in the prior fiscal year period.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, operating loss was ($1.221) billion, compared to operating income of $86.4 million for the prior year period, and included previously noted pre-tax charges totaling $1.279 billion.

Outlook

Based on current aircraft production rates, Triumph expects revenue for fiscal year 2017 to be approximately $3.6 to $3.7 billion.

The company expects to generate sufficient free cash flow to fund restructuring efforts during fiscal year 2017.

Commenting on the outlook, Mr. Crowley said, “In fiscal year 2017, we are primarily focused on driving free cash flow and operating margins, funding and implementing our strategic plan and prudently managing the balance sheet to ensure that Triumph is well positioned to drive significant value in the future.”

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 gains or losses 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 (including impairments) 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.
Modified Adjusted EBITDA is included to adjust for the impacts of our Restructuring plan, inventory charges associated with developmental programs, our provision for forward losses on our 747-8 long-term contract and relocation from our Jefferson Street Facility, in order to show the more comparable results period to period.

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.
