TRIUMPH REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2024 RESULTS

PROVIDES FISCAL YEAR 2025 GUIDANCE

RADNOR, Pa. – May 23, 2024 – Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE: TGI) ("TRIUMPH" or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal 2024, which ended March 31, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDAP of $58.3 million with Adjusted EBITDAP margin of 16.3%
Cash provided by operations of $77.7 million and free cash flow of $72.1 million

 

Fiscal 2024

Operating income of $86.5 million with operating margin of 7.3%; adjusted operating income of $114.9 million with adjusted operating margin of 9.6%
Net loss from continuing operations of ($34.5) million, or $(0.46) per share; adjusted net loss from continuing operations of ($4.4) million, or $(0.06) per share
Adjusted EBITDAP of $144.3 million with Adjusted EBITDAP margin of 12.1%
Cash provided by operations of $9.4 million and free cash use of ($12.4) million

 

Fiscal 2025 Guidance

Net sales of approximately $1.2 billion
Operating income of approximately $140.0 million, reflecting operating margin of 12%
Adjusted EBITDAP of approximately $182.0 million, reflecting Adjusted EBITDAP margin 15%
Earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.42
Cash flow from operations of $30.0 million to $50.0 million, free cash flow of $10.0 million to $25.0 million

 

“TRIUMPH took important strategic actions during fiscal 2024 to create a more streamlined, value-added and IP-based business with a much stronger balance sheet," said Dan Crowley, TRIUMPH's chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We completed the divestiture of our third-party Product Support MRO business during the fourth quarter and


retired over $550.0 million of debt with the sale proceeds to materially accelerate our de-leveraging as committed to our shareholders during our September 2023 Investor Day."

 

"We were pleased to report our eighth consecutive quarter of year over year organic growth as aftermarket volume grew rapidly in our remaining OEM businesses. While sales increased in our Interiors business in the fourth quarter, its profit and cash flow continued to lag due to external cost drivers. We expect these headwinds to abate as narrowbody aircraft rates recover. However, TRIUMPH generated positive free cash flow overall and achieved our strongest margins of the fiscal year due to benefits from higher overall sales and strong aftermarket mix."

 

Mr. Crowley continued, “TRIUMPH accelerated new business capture with a year-to-date book to bill rate of 1.28, lifting our backlog 22% year over year to the highest level since March 2020. Our fiscal 2025 guidance reflects the strength of TRIUMPH's portfolio, helping to offset short-term end market headwinds, while enabling improvement across our key financial metrics, notably an estimated 300 basis point expansion in Adjusted EBITDAP margins. With the anticipated market demand from the coming aerospace and defense upcycle, we expect to deliver top and bottom-line growth rates at or above the market as we benefit from a focus on OEM and related aftermarket product lines.”

Excluding impacts from divestitures and exited or sunsetting programs, Commercial OEM sales decreased ($1.5) million, or (1.1%) in the quarter primarily on a year-to-date adjustment to non-aviation revenue, offset by increases in production volumes on the Boeing 787 program.

Aftermarket sales include both repair and overhaul services as well as the sales of spare parts. Commercial Aftermarket sales increased $18.0 million, or 47.1%, driven by the continued improvement in overall air travel metrics, favorably impacting both spare part sales and repair and overhaul services. The impacts from divestitures and exited or sunsetting programs on Commercial aftermarket sales was not significant.

Military OEM sales decreased ($9.0) million, or (11.2%) in the quarter, as decreased sales on military rotorcraft such as V-22 were partially offset by volume on other military programs, including fixed wing platforms.

Military aftermarket sales increased $11.2 million, or 20.7% in the quarter, primarily on increased spares and repairs for military rotorcraft programs.

Non-aviation sales include a year-to-date true-up adjustment, primarily from Commercial OEM sales.

Fourth quarter operating income of $44.8 million includes $5.0 million of restructuring costs related to the $40.0 million in cost reduction actions noted last quarter and $6.0 million in legal contingencies loss related to updates in our previously disclosed arbitration in our legacy Structures business. Net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $5.5 million or $0.07 per diluted share. In addition to the adjustments impacting operating income, the company incurred $6.8 million in debt extinguishment loss related to the retirement of debt in the quarter.

 

 

The number of shares used in computing diluted income per share for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 77.8 million.

 

Backlog, which represents the next 24 months of actual purchase orders with firm delivery dates or contract requirements, was $1.9 billion up 22% from prior fiscal year end. This increase was primarily on commercial OEM platforms.

 

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, cash flow provided by operations was $77.7 million, which was in line with expectations previously provided.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosures

We prepare and publicly release annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") rules, we also disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures in our public filings and earning releases. Currently, the non-GAAP financial measures that we disclose are Adjusted EBITDA, which is our income (loss) from continuing operations before interest and gains or losses on debt extinguishment, income taxes, amortization of acquired contract liabilities, consideration payable to customer related to divestitures, legal contingencies loss, gains/loss on divestitures, gains/losses on warrant remeasurements and warrant-related transaction costs, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization (including impairment of long-lived assets), other non-recurring impairments, and the effects of certain pension charges such as curtailments, settlements, withdrawals, and other early retirement incentives; and Adjusted EBITDAP, which is Adjusted EBITDA, before pension expense or benefit (excluding pension charges already adjusted in Adjusted EBITDA). We disclose Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated and Adjusted EBITDAP on a consolidated and a reportable 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 with our previously reported results of operations.

 

We view Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP as operating performance measures and, as such, we believe that the U.S. GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measures is income (loss) from continuing operations. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP, we exclude from income (loss) from continuing operations 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 U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations, or as an indicator of any other measure of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDAP as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure, including income (loss) 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 income (loss) from continuing operations set forth below, in our earnings releases, and in other filings with the SEC and to carefully review the U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP financial information with our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP.

 

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 U.S. 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 income (loss) from continuing operations 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 disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP helps 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 noncash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, and nonoperating items, such as interest, income taxes, pension and other postretirement benefits, 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 and Adjusted EBITDAP to provide financial measures 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 income (loss) from continuing operations) to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP and the material limitations associated with using these non-GAAP financial measures as compared with income (loss) from continuing operations:

Gains or losses from sale of assets and businesses may be useful for investors to consider because they reflect gains or losses from sale of operating units or other assets. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Warrants remeasurement gains or losses and Warrant-related transaction costs may be useful for investors to consider because they reflect the mark-to-market changes in the fair value of our Warrants and the costs associated with Warrants issuance. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Consideration payable to a customer related to a divestiture may be useful for investors to consider because it reflects consideration paid to facilitate the ultimate sale of operating units. We do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Shareholder cooperation expenses may be useful for investors to consider because they represent certain costs of corporate governance that may be incurred periodically when reaching cooperative agreements with shareholders. We do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Legal loss contingencies, when applicable, may be useful for investors to consider because it reflects gains or losses from legal disputes with third parties. We do not believe these gains or losses reflect the current and ongoing earnings related to our operations.
Non-service defined benefit income or expense from our pension and other postretirement benefit plans (inclusive of certain pension related transactions such as curtailments, settlements, withdrawal, and early retirement or other incentives) may be useful for investors to consider because they represent the cost of postretirement 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 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 noncash earnings on the fair value of off-market contracts acquired through acquisitions. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Amortization expense and nonrecurring asset impairments (including goodwill and intangible asset impairments) may be useful for investors to consider because it represents the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of trade names, product rights, licenses, or, in the case of goodwill, other assets that are not individually identified and separately recognized under U.S. GAAP, or, in the case of nonrecurring asset impairments, the impact of unusual and nonrecurring events affecting the estimated recoverability of existing assets. 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 it generally represents 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.
Share-based compensation may be useful for investors to consider because it represents a portion of the total compensation to management and the board of directors. 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, as well as debt extinguishment gains or losses, 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 and debt extinguishment gains or losses 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.

 

The following table shows our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP reconciled to our income (loss) from continuing operations for the indicated periods (in thousands):

Adjusted Operating Income is defined as GAAP Operating Income, less expenses/gains associated with the Company's transformation, such as restructuring expenses, gains/losses on divestitures, impairments of goodwill and other assets. Management believes that this is useful in evaluating operating performance, but this measure should not be used in isolation. The following table reconciles our Operating income to Adjusted Operating income as noted above.
