RADNOR, Pa., Aug. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE:TGI) ("TRIUMPH" or the "Company") today reported preliminary financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2024, which ended June 30, 2023.

First Quarter Fiscal 2024

Net sales of $327.1 million; Organic sales growth of 14%
Operating income of $18.7 million with operating margin of 5.7%; adjusted operating income of $24.4 million with adjusted operating margin of 7.5%
Net loss of ($12.8) million, or ($0.19) per share; adjusted net loss of ($7.0) million, or ($0.10) per diluted share
Adjusted EBITDAP of $35.6 million with Adjusted EBITDAP margin of 10.9%

Fiscal 2024 Guidance

Reaffirmed expected net sales of $1.39 billion to $1.43 billion, reflecting 7 - 10% organic growth
Updated operating income of $159.0 million to $174.0 million, reflecting operating margin of 11 - 12%
Reaffirmed adjusted EBITDAP of $210.0 million to $225.0 million, reflecting Adjusted EBITDAP margin of 15 - 16%
Reaffirmed expected cash flow from operations of $60.0 million to $80.0 million; free cash flow of $35.0 million to $50.0 million

"Building off our positive momentum from fiscal 2023, TRIUMPH generated its fifth consecutive quarter of organic sales growth driven by continued strong commercial aftermarket and improving OEM demand," said Dan Crowley, TRIUMPH's chairman, president, and chief executive officer. "Free cash use was in line with our expectations and was impacted by seasonality due to increased working capital necessary to support higher deliveries. We continue to expect free cash flow to improve over the course of the year. With a growing and profitable backlog, TRIUMPH is well positioned to continue to grow organically and improve profitability, while also benefitting from the positive trends across our end markets."

Mr. Crowley continued, "As TRIUMPH continues to focus on deleveraging and optimizing its capital structure, the company recently completed the successful redemption of its warrants, increasing cash by $85 million and reducing debt by $14 million. TRIUMPH remains on track to deliver profitable growth and achieve its full year guidance as the Company is executing on its financial and operational goals."

Total Net Sales*	$	327.1	$	349.4
* Differences due to rounding
Note> Aftermarket sales include both repair & overhaul services and spare parts sales.

Excluding impacts from divestitures and exited or sunsetting programs, organic Commercial OEM sales increased $8.7 million, or 8.1% and included increased production volumes on Boeing 787 and 737 programs, offset by reductions across other commercial rotorcraft programs.

Military OEM sales increased $8.8 million, or 15.5%, all of which were organic, primarily due to increased sales related to the CH-53K, V-22, and UH-60 programs.

Commercial Aftermarket sales increased $24.5 million, or 38.7%. Excluding impacts from divestitures, organic Commercial Aftermarket sales increased $25.9 million, or 42.5%, driven by the continued improvement in overall air travel metrics, favorably impacting both repair and overhaul services and spare part sales on an equal basis.

Military aftermarket sales decreased $3.3 million, or 6.6%, all of which was organic, driven by reduced sales across several fixed wing platforms and reduced spares on rotorcraft platforms relative to the prior year, partially offset by increased repairs on rotorcraft platforms.

First quarter operating income of $18.7 million includes $1.9 million of shareholder cooperation costs and a $3.8 million reduction of the prior period gain on sale of assets and businesses. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was ($12.8) million or ($0.19) per share and includes $0.1 million in debt extinguishment losses.

TRIUMPH's results included the following:

*($ millions except EPS)*	Pre-tax		After-tax		Diluted EPS
Loss from Continuing Operations - GAAP	$	(11.0)	$	(12.8)	$	(0.19)
Adjustments
Loss on sale of assets and businesses, net		3.8		3.8		0.06
Shareholder cooperation expenses		1.9		1.9		0.03
Debt extinguishment losses		0.1		0.1		0.00
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations - non-GAAP	$	(5.2)	$	(7.0)	$	(0.10)

The number of shares used in computing loss per share for the first quarter of 2024 was 66.3 million.

Backlog, which represents the next 24 months of actual purchase orders with firm delivery dates or contract requirements, was $1.74 billion, up 10% from prior fiscal year end. This increase was primarily on commercial narrow body platforms.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, cash flow used in operations was $63.7 million, which was in line with expectations previously provided and reflects seasonality due to increased working capital to support higher fiscal 2024 deliveries.

Potential Adjustments

We are currently evaluating the final accounting and process around the working capital components of recent legacy Aerospace Structures divestitures and related transition services agreements, which could result in non-cash adjustments to reported amounts, including gain or loss on sale of assets and businesses. At this time, we do not anticipate that potential adjustments would be material to the reported periods. We plan to provide an update upon completion of this evaluation process. These potential adjustments do not relate to previously disclosed indemnification claims related to the sale of the Stuart facility, which have been resolved in part at this time.

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 net income (loss) before interest and gains or losses on debt extinguishment, income taxes, amortization of acquired contract liabilities, consideration payable to customer related to divestitures, legal judgments and settlements, 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 net income (loss). In calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP, we exclude from net income (loss) 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 net income (loss), 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 net income (loss). 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 (loss) 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 net income (loss) 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.

(dollars in thousands)

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 these non-GAAP financial measures as compared with net income 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 or settlement. 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 judgments and settlements, when applicable, may be useful for investors to consider because it reflects gains or losses from disputes with third parties. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash 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, intangible asset impairments, and nonrecurring rotable inventory 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 net income for the indicated periods (in thousands):

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosures (continued)

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.
