Wayne, PA – July 25, 2007 – Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE: TGI) today reported that net sales from continuing operations for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 totaled $275.0 million, a twenty-six percent increase from last year’s first quarter net sales of $218.0 million.  Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 increased seventy percent to $17.8 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, versus $10.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the first quarter of the prior year.  Net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 increased forty-eight percent to $13.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, versus $9.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the first quarter of the prior year.  During the quarter, the company used $10.8 million of cash flow from operations.

Effective June 30, 2007, the company designated Triumph Precision Castings, its castings facility included in the Aftermarket Services Group, and Triumph Precision, a build to specification manufacturer and supplier of ultra-precision machined components and assemblies in its Aerospace

Systems Group, as discontinued operations.  The company expects to complete the sale of these businesses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.  For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the loss from discontinued operations was $3.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, which included an impairment charge of $2.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.

Richard C. Ill, Triumph’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are very proud of the results achieved during the first quarter driven by strong growth in revenue and improvement in operating margins in both the Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services segments.  While we continued to make progress in transitioning the casting facility to a profitable operation, we believe that the decision to sell the operations will allow us to better focus on our core aftermarket business going forward.”

The Aerospace Systems segment reported net sales for the quarter of $217.3 million compared to $172.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of twenty-six percent.  Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $30.3 million, compared to $20.3 million for the prior year period, a forty-nine percent increase.  Operating margin for the quarter improved to 14% from 12% in the prior year period.  Organic sales growth for the quarter was twenty-three percent.

The Aftermarket Services segment reported net sales for the quarter of $58.3 million compared to $46.4 million in the prior year period, a twenty-six percent increase.  Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $5.7 million, compared to $3.0 million for the prior year period, a ninety-two percent increase.  Operating margin for the quarter improved significantly to 10% from 6% in the prior year period.  Organic sales growth for the quarter was nine percent.

“Based on our robust backlog, the strength of our markets and our ability to execute, we are confident that we will continue to generate significant revenue growth and enhanced operating earnings and profitability for the balance of the fiscal year,” Mr. Ill continued.  “Our first quarter results delivered on our commitment to improve the operating margin of our Aftermarket Services Group.  In addition, our Aerospace Systems Group also delivered a meaningful improvement in its margins.  As a result, we expect that earnings per share from continuing operations for the fiscal year will be in the range of $3.85 to $4.00.”

As previously announced, Triumph Group will hold a conference call tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. (ET) to discuss the fiscal year 2008 first quarter results.  The conference call will be available live and archived on the company’s website at http://www.triumphgroup.com.  A slide presentation will be included with the audio portion of the webcast.  An audio replay will be available from July 26th until August 2nd by calling (888) 266-2081 (Domestic) or (703) 925-2533 (International), passcode #1113153.
