TRIUMPH REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2024 RESULTS

Rhea-AI Summary

Triumph Group, Inc. reported financial results for Q3 of fiscal 2024, with net sales of $285.0 million and operating income of $19.7 million. The company updated its fiscal 2024 guidance, reflecting 11 - 14% organic growth in net sales and operating income in the range of $100.0 million to $110.0 million. The sale of the Product Support business is expected to accelerate deleveraging progress.

Positive

• Organic sales growth of 13%
• Adjusted EBITDAP margin of 9.8%
• Year-to-date book to bill rate of 1.34
• Backlog of $1.87 billion, up 18% from prior fiscal year end

Negative

• Net loss from continuing operations of ($11.9) million
• Adjusted net loss from continuing operations of ($12.9) million
• Debt extinguishment gain of $1.0 million

Insights

Financial Analyst

The recent update from Triumph Group, Inc. signals a robust organic sales growth of 13%, which is a strong indicator of the company's core business health and market demand. The adjusted operating income and margin remaining consistent at 6.9% reflect a stable cost management strategy. However, the reported net loss from continuing operations suggests challenges in profitability that need to be scrutinized.

The projected net sales growth of 11-14% and the reaffirmed cash flow guidance demonstrate confidence in the company's future performance, although the net leverage of 4.0x net debt to Adjusted EBITDAP indicates a relatively high debt load, which could be a concern for debt servicing and future financial flexibility. The sale of the Product Support business could be a strategic move to streamline operations and reduce leverage, but it also requires a close analysis of the impact on the company's overall product portfolio and revenue streams.

Market Research Analyst

Triumph Group's focus on OEM components and aftermarket services aligns with industry trends towards vertical integration and extended service offerings. The reported year-over-year backlog increase of 20% to the highest level since March 2020 is a positive sign for sustained revenue potential, especially in the commercial OEM sector where Triumph has seen significant sales growth due to increased production volumes on Boeing programs.

The mention of supply chain constraints impacting deliveries is a critical aspect that requires ongoing monitoring, as it could affect the company's ability to meet demand and maintain positive free cash flow. The expected strong fourth quarter, based on deferred deliveries and historical seasonality, suggests a potential rebound, but this will depend on the resolution of the supply chain issues.

Aerospace Industry Analyst

The aerospace sector is characterized by long development cycles and high barriers to entry, which makes Triumph Group's consistent organic sales growth and backlog increase particularly noteworthy. The focus on Boeing 737 and 787 programs could be seen as a strategic alignment with the expected recovery in the commercial aviation market post-pandemic. However, the decrease in military OEM sales, particularly in rotorcraft, could signal a shift in defense spending priorities or competition dynamics that may have longer-term implications for the company's military segment.

The aftermarket segment's growth is a testament to the recovery in air travel and the importance of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, as well as spare parts sales in generating recurring revenue. The company's ability to grow in this area will be critical to offsetting any potential volatility in OEM sales.

UPDATING GUIDANCE FOR PRODUCT SUPPORT SALE

RADNOR, Pa., Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE: TGI) ("TRIUMPH" or the "Company") today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2024, which ended December 31, 2023.

• Operating income of $19.7 million with operating margin of 6.9%; adjusted operating income of $19.8 million with adjusted operating margin of 6.9%
• Net loss from continuing operations of ($11.9) million, or $(0.15) per share; adjusted net loss from continuing operations of ($12.9) million, or ($0.16) per share
• Adjusted EBITDAP of $27.7 million with Adjusted EBITDAP margin of 9.8%
• Adjusted EBITDAP for the remaining Systems and Support business of $39.4 million with an Adjusted EBITDAP margin of 16.4%
• Cash provided by operations of $27.6 million and free cash flow of $22.4 million

Fiscal 2024 Guidance

• Updating net sales to a range of $1.17 billion to $1.20 billion, reflecting 11 - 14% organic growth
• Updating operating income to a range of $100.0 million to $110.0 million, reflecting operating margin of 9%
• Updating adjusted EBITDAP to a range of $157.0 million to $167.0 million, reflecting Adjusted EBITDAP margin of 13-14%
• Reaffirmed cash flow from operations of $65.0 million to $85.0 million, free cash flow of $40.0 million to $65.0 million, subject to the timing of closing of the sale of Product Support
• Pro forma net leverage of 4.0x net debt to Adjusted EBITDAP

"The announced sale of our Product Support business will be transformative for our balance sheet and is on track for closure this quarter which will meaningfully accelerate our deleveraging progress," said Dan Crowley, TRIUMPH's chairman, president and chief executive officer.  "Following the divestiture, we are right sizing our cost structure to achieve our multi-year profit margin and cash flow targets.  By strengthening our balance sheet and focusing on our OEM component, spares and IP-based aftermarket business, TRIUMPH will further improve its capacity to win and profitably grow in the expanding markets we serve."

"TRIUMPH generated its seventh consecutive quarter of year over year organic sales growth benefiting from increased commercial OEM production rates.  TRIUMPH generated positive free cash flow in the quarter, although earnings and cash were lower than planned due to a finite set of industry-wide supply chain constraints which impacted deliveries in the quarter.  We expect a very strong fourth quarter that benefits from deferred deliveries, historical seasonality, improving mix and incremental price improvements as well as working capital investments we made in the first half of the year."  

Mr. Crowley continued, "TRIUMPH accelerated new business capture with a year-to-date book to bill rate of 1.34, lifting our backlog 20% year over year to the highest level since March 2020.  Going forward, the new TRIUMPH will 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."

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 $30.7 million, or 27.5% primarily on production volumes on Boeing 737 and 787 programs.

Military OEM sales decreased from prior year as decreased sales on military rotorcraft were partially offset by increased volume on other military programs, including fixed wing platforms.

Aftermarket sales include both repair and overhaul services as well as the sales of spare parts. Commercial Aftermarket sales increased $4.2 million, or 13.8%, driven by the continued improvement in overall air travel metrics, favorably impacting both repair and overhaul services and spare part sales. The impacts from divestitures and exited or sunsetting programs on Commercial aftermarket sales was not significant.

Military aftermarket sales decreased primarily on reduced repair and overhaul sales on the UH-60 platform.

TRIUMPH's results included the following:

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 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 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 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 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.
