Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2017 EPS and Cash Guidance

BERWYN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE:TGI) (“Triumph” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2017, which ended September 30, 2016.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results

• Net sales were $874.8 million.
• Operating income was $70.5 million; excluding adjustments of $19.0 million, operating income was $89.5 million, reflecting an operating margin of 10.2%.
• Net income was $34.8 million, or $0.70 per diluted share; excluding the aforementioned adjustments, net income was $49.4 million, or $1.00 per diluted share.
• Cash used in operations was $47.2 million, an improvement from $84.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
• Free cash flow use was $49.3 million, an improvement from $95.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
• Updates fiscal 2017 revenue guidance to $3.5 to $3.6 billion from $3.6 to $3.7 billion.
• Reaffirms earnings per diluted share guidance of $3.15 to $3.45 and cash use guidance of $100.0 million to $120.0 million.

“Triumph Group’s adjusted second quarter results were in line with our expectations and reflected improved sequential cash performance and continued strong operating margins in Integrated Systems and Product Support,” stated Daniel J. Crowley, Triumph’s president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter, our pipeline and backlog grew, and we continued to strengthen our business development efforts to drive organic growth.”

“We made significant progress on our One Triumph transformation strategy initiatives during the quarter. We have achieved $22.0 million savings year-to-date towards our total year target of $44.0 million. Additionally, we initiated all five of the planned fiscal year 2017 plant consolidations to reduce support costs and decreased our facility footprint by approximately 400,000 square feet. We are right-sizing our workforce to be in line with both the business base and our productivity gains, and are on track to our target of 1,200 headcount reductions for the fiscal year. These are difficult steps to take, but we believe that they are ultimately in the best interest of our Company and our shareholders. Finally, we successfully divested one business in the second quarter and are on track for our portfolio optimization actions.”

“We continue to stabilize our performance towards our imperative of becoming predictably profitable. We are confident in the strategy we’ve laid out and our entire organization is focused on its execution to deliver value to our shareholders.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Overview

Net sales for the fiscal second quarter of 2017 declined 8.4% from the prior year quarter, including $9.5 million of incremental sales from the October 2015 acquisition of Fairchild Controls. On an organic basis, sales were down 9.4% primarily due to production rate reductions by customers on the 747-8, G450/550 and C-17 programs, price reductions due to change in model mix, decreased demand in commercial rotorcraft and spares aftermarket and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These factors were partially offset by increased production rates on the A350 program and stronger sales in the Product Support segment resulting from increased demand from regional jet and cargo customers.

Operating income included $14.2 million of restructuring costs and a $4.8 million loss on divestiture. Cumulative catch-up adjustments on long term contracts were balanced between positive and negative variances compared to a net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment of $28.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 was $34.8 million, or $0.70 per diluted share. Triumph’s results included the following:

($ million except EPS)	Pre-Tax		After Tax		Diluted EPS
Income from Operations (GAAP)	$	52.6	$	34.8	$	0.70
Adjustments:
Loss on Divestiture		4.8		4.8		0.10
Restructuring Costs (non-cash)		3.7		2.6		0.05
Restructuring Costs (cash)		10.5		7.2		0.15
Adjusted Income from Operations (Non GAAP)	$	71.6	$	49.4	$	1.00

The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 was 49.4 million.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, cash used in operations was $47.2 million, which reflected continued investment in key development programs and restructuring efforts.

Outlook

Based on current aircraft production rates, Triumph is adjusting its fiscal year 2017 revenue guidance to a range of $3.5 to $3.6 billion from $3.6 to $3.7 billion.

The Company reaffirmed its full year earnings per diluted share guidance of $3.15 to $3.45, which reflects an effective tax rate of 18%. Triumph also continues to expect free cash use of approximately $100.0 million to $120.0 million. This guidance includes restructuring costs and benefits but does not take into account any future divestitures.

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:

• 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 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.
• 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.
