TRIUMPH GROUP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2019 RESULTS

Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2019 Net Sales, EPS and Cash Guidance

Reports Second Consecutive Quarter of Organic Sales Growth

Completes Divestiture of Long and Large Operations

BERWYN, Pa. - November 8, 2018 - Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE: TGI) (“Triumph” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2019, which ended September 30, 2018.

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights

Net sales were $855.1 million.
Operating loss was ($2.0) million. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $35.2 million
Net loss was ($14.7) million, or ($0.30) per share. On an adjusted basis, net income was $20.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share.
Cash used in operations was ($131.5) million, and free cash use was ($143.5) million.
Management reaffirms guidance for fiscal year 2019 net sales, EPS and cash usage.
“Triumph made important progress against key operational and financial objectives during the second quarter and results were consistent with our expectations, keeping us on track to achieve our fiscal 2019 financial targets,” stated Daniel J. Crowley, Triumph’s president and chief executive officer. “All three of our segments generated organic sales growth on both a year-over-year and sequential basis as we ramped up production on various development and narrow-body programs. As expected, several new, high-quality wins fueled order momentum during the quarter, positioning us to maintain our top-line growth trajectory.”
Mr. Crowley continued, “While our second quarter cash usage increased relative to the first quarter as anticipated, we expect to reverse this trend in the second half of the fiscal year as we advance further towards resolutions on certain cash-intensive Aerospace Structures programs. We reaffirm cash guidance for fiscal 2019, reflecting our confidence that Triumph will meet its stated goal of being cash flow positive in the fourth quarter.”

Mr. Crowley continued, “We remain focused on de-risking the portfolio and strengthening our backlog. During the quarter we closed on a previously announced divestiture in Aerospace Structures and identified other potential opportunities and we are on track to meet our goal of divesting businesses with approximately $300 million of revenue across the portfolio. We are confident that these actions will position Triumph for improved profitability and cash flow during the second half of the fiscal year. With momentum building and a clear path forward, we are well positioned to complete our turnaround and accelerate our objectives of delivering profitable growth and positive cash flow for shareholders.”


Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 Overview

After accounting for divestitures and the impact of the adoption of ASC 606, sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 were up 12% organically from the comparable prior year period. Sales growth was driven by increased shipments for narrow body programs such as the 737 and A320, military platforms such as aftermarket services on the KC-10 and C-17 and, development programs transitioning to production.
Second quarter operating loss of ($2.0) million included a $13.1 million loss on divestitures, $11.8 million of restructuring costs and $19.9 million related to a forward loss charge on the Global 7500 program, partially offset by a $7.6 million forward loss reduction related to a Gulfstream program in Aerospace Structures. Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 was ($14.7) million, or ($0.30) per share. On an adjusted basis, net income was $20.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. Triumph’s results included the following:

The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 was 49.6 million.
Backlog was $4.3 billion, a 1% increase from the prior year period and down slightly on a sequential basis reflecting increased selectivity in pursuing new awards based on projected profitability and cash flow and the impact of divestitures in Aerospace Structures.

For the six-months ended September 30, 2018, cash flow used in operations was ($197.2) million, reflecting approximately ($132.0) million for the liquidation of customer advances and approximately ($173.0) million of cash used on the Global 7500 program.

Outlook

Based on anticipated aircraft production rates and completed divestitures, the Company continues to expect that net sales for fiscal year 2019 will be approximately $3.3 to $3.4 billion, up from fiscal 2018 as development programs enter production, and sales from continuing programs along with new wins offset waning programs.

The Company expects fiscal year 2019 earnings per share to be ($0.55) to $0.15, or $1.50 to $2.10 per diluted share, adjusted for pension accounting changes, certain forward loss charges (reductions), transformation related costs and loss on divestitures.

The Company expects fiscal year 2019 cash used in operations of ($150.0) to ($190.0) million, and free cash flow use of ($200.0) to ($250.0) million.

The Company’s current outlook reflects adjustments detailed in the attached tables but excludes the impact of any potential future divestitures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosures
 
We prepare and publicly release quarterly unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 measures that we disclose are Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP. Adjusted EBITDA is our net income before interest, income taxes, amortization of acquired contract liabilities, curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives, legal settlements, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDAP is Adjusted EBITDA less pension & other post-retirement benefits. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP on a consolidated basis and Adjusted EBITDAP on 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 and Adjusted EBITDAP as operating performance measures and, as such, we believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is net income. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP, 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 and Adjusted EBITDAP are not measurements 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 or Adjusted EBITDAP as substitutes for any GAAP financial measures, 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 and Adjusted EBITDAP 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 and Adjusted EBITDAP are 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 20 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 and Adjusted EBITDAP exclude these charges and provide meaningful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from charges for depreciation and amortization. We believe the disclosures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP help investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our performance from quarter to quarter and from year to year. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP are measures 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 Adjusted EBITDAP and the material limitations associated with using this non-GAAP financial measure as compared to net income:
Divestitures may be useful for investors to consider because they reflect gains or losses from sale of operating units. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.

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.
Non-service defined benefit income (inclusive of the adoption of ASU 2017-07) may be useful to investors to consider because they represent the cost of post-retirement benefits to plan participants, net of the assumption of returns on the plan's assets and are not indicative of the cash paid for such benefits. We do not believe these earnings (expenses) necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
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, is provided for consistency and comparability. We also use free cash flow as a key factor in planning for and consideration of strategic acquisitions 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 to free cash flow.
