Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE:TGI) today reported that net sales for
the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 totaled
$316.1 million, a one percent decrease from last year’s first quarter
net sales of $320.6 million. Income from continuing operations for the
first quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $21.5 million, or $1.30 per
diluted share, versus $25.1 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, for the
first quarter of the prior year. Net income for the first quarter of
fiscal year 2010 was $18.0 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, versus
$23.9 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, for the first quarter of the
prior year. The loss from discontinued operations for the quarter
included an impairment charge of $2.5 million. The number of shares used
in computing diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2010 was 16.6 million shares. During the quarter, the company
generated $32.5 million of cash flow from operations. The results for
the quarter included $1.5 million of incremental non-cash interest
expense associated with the adoption of APB 14-1, which required a
change in the accounting for convertible debt interest, and
approximately $1.0 million of start up costs related to the Mexican
facility. Prior year period results were also restated to reflect the
adoption of APB 14-1, resulting in an incremental $1.5 million of
interest expense over the previously reported amount.
Aerospace Systems
The Aerospace Systems segment reported net sales for the quarter of
$260.0 million compared to $258.2 million in the prior year period, an
increase of one percent. Organic sales decreased nine percent over the
prior year due to the reduction in demand for business jets, the
softening of the regional jet market and program delays on the 747-8 and
787 aircraft. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010
was $41.8 million, compared to $46.1 million for the prior year period.
Operating income for the quarter included $1.1 million of legal expenses
associated with the ongoing trade secret litigation.
Aftermarket Services
The Aftermarket Services segment reported net sales for the quarter of
$57.8 million compared to $63.0 million in the prior year, a decrease of
eight percent primarily due to lower passenger and freight traffic
combined with airline inventory de-stocking. Operating income for the
first quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $2.4 million, compared to $3.9
million for the prior year period. While operating performance at the
Phoenix APU businesses greatly improved during the quarter, their
results continued to be dilutive to the segment’s results. In addition,
the quarter included $0.3 million of expenses incurred to shut down a
service facility in Austin, Texas.
Outlook
Commenting on the company’s performance and its outlook, Richard C. Ill,
Triumph’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are proud of
the results we achieved this quarter despite weak global economic
conditions. While some of our end markets, particularly business jets,
were clearly challenged, our commercial and military sales continued to
grow and the operating margin in our Aerospace Systems Group remained
strong. In addition, our cash flow was outstanding and our working
capital management continued to improve. These key elements position us
well to capitalize on new opportunities, such as the recently announced
award of the Bell Helicopter 429 transmission program.”
"Based on current projected aircraft production rates, we are
maintaining our prior guidance that earnings per share from continuing
operations for the fiscal year will be approximately $5.00 per diluted
share.”
As previously announced, Triumph Group will hold a conference call
tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. (ET) to discuss the fiscal year 2010 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 30th
until August 6th by calling (888) 266-2081 (Domestic) or
(703) 925-2533 (International), passcode #1378637.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
|
|
|
|
This press release includes a discussion of Earnings before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA”), which is
a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes this non-GAAP
financial measure provides additional important supplemental
information to investors. This non-GAAP financial measure reflects
an additional way of viewing aspects of Triumph’s operations that,
when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying
reconciliation to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides a
meaningful comparison to operations in prior periods and a more
detailed understanding of factors and trends affecting Triumph’s
business and results of operations. The Company does not intend for
this non-GAAP financial measure to be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for the related GAAP measures.
|
|
|
|
Investors, prospective investors, rating agencies, and securities
analysts regularly request EBITDA as a supplemental analytical
measure to, and in conjunction with, our GAAP financial data. We
understand that these investors use EBITDA, among other things, to
assess our ability to service our existing debt and to incur debt in
the future, to assess our ability to fund capital expenditures, to
assess our ability to fund future acquisitions, and to gain insight
into the manner in which the Company’s management and board of
directors analyze our performance. The items excluded from EBITDA,
but included in the calculation of reported net income, are
significant components of the consolidated statement of income, and
must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of our
results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the Company
expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP
adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from the
Company's non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference
that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
Management believes that EBITDA provides useful information to the
investment community about the Company's financial performance when
compared to the companies within the industry since EBITDA is a
generally recognized standard for reporting operating performance.
|
|
|
|
Our management and board of directors also use EBITDA as a
supplemental measure to our GAAP financial data for purposes
broadly similar to our investors. Management believes EBITDA
provides useful information for measuring its overall operating
performance, assessing debt service capacity and ability to fund
capital expenditures because it assists in comparisons of the
Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis by removing
non-operating items and the impact of significant non-cash items,
and items that are incurred in connection with the financing
activities of a business. Company management also uses this
information to evaluate operating performance in relation to
Triumph's competitors and as a basis for measuring operating
performance for management compensation purposes. The Company’s
credit facility uses EBITDA to measure compliance with covenants
such as interest coverage and debt incurrence. EBITDA is also used
by us to evaluate and is the basis for the valuation of potential
and recent acquisition candidates; as an input in determining the
fair value of our reporting units as part of our annual test of
impairment of goodwill; for planning purposes, including the
preparation of internal budgets, allocating resources to enhance
financial performance, evaluating the effectiveness of operational
strategies; and, for evaluating the Company's capacity to fund
capital expenditures and expand its business.
|
|
|
|
EBITDA excludes, among other things, the effect of the non-cash
charges of depreciation and amortization, which is a significant
component of our reported GAAP results. Depreciation and
amortization expenses limit the comparability of the results of our
consolidated and segment operations to prior years and to other
companies, since the Company has been highly acquisitive in recent
years having completed four acquisitions in March 2009. Furthermore,
the depreciation and amortization expenses may limit the
comparability to future periods as well since acquisition and
capital investment may vary significant from period to period. This
comparability is limited further because companies utilize
productive assets of different ages and use different methods of
both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. Differences in
acquisition activity and capital assets can result in considerable
variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the
depreciation and amortization expense among companies. The earnings
before depreciation and amortization expense could be reinvested in
the operations or, in the Company’s discretion, could be utilized
for other purposes (e.g., acquisition and debt service). EBITDA also
excludes interest expense, which can vary significantly from period
to period and among companies due in part to (i) variations in
hedging strategy of debt, (ii) variability in the mix of fixed rate
and floating rate debt, (iii) differences in the capital structure
among periods and companies, and (iv) the creditworthiness of
borrowers. Finally, EBITDA excludes income tax expense, which can
also vary significantly from period to period and among other
companies within the industry. Historically, the Company's income
tax expense has been significantly greater than income taxes paid,
principally due to higher deductible depreciation expense for tax
purposes. Additionally, the amount of the deferred tax provisions
can vary significantly from period to period and among other
companies in the industry, since the Company's significant
historical acquisitions have resulted in tax deductions for
amortization of intangible recognized in business combinations that
are deductible for tax purposes but not for financial statement
purposes. Accordingly and for reasons noted herein, EBITDA may be
useful as a supplemental measure to GAAP financial data for
assessing profitability, demonstrating liquidity and comparing
results among periods and industry competitors.

Non-GAAP Disclosures (continued)

|
|
However, when analyzing the Company’s operating performance,
management uses EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative
for, net income determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA has
limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in
isolation. Some of these limitations are: (a) EBITDA does not
reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working
capital needs; (b) EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest
expense, or cash requirements necessary to service interest or
principal payments, on the Company’s debts; and (c) although
depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the asset being
depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and
EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital
expenditures.
|
|
|
|
Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a
measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of
Triumph’s business or as a measure of cash that will be available to
Triumph to meet its obligations. Because of these limitations,
management relies primarily on Triumph’s GAAP results and uses
EBITDA only supplementally.
