Triumph Group, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars in thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1997. The Company's income per share and share data in the financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the 65-for-1 stock split declared in connection with the initial public offering by the Company of its common stock in October 1996. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION The Company's aviation segment designs, engineers, manufactures, repairs and overhauls aircraft components for commercial airlines, air cargo carriers, and original equipment manufacturers on a worldwide basis. The Company's metals segment manufactures, machines, processes, and distributes metal products to customers in the computer, construction, container, farm equipment, and office furniture industries, primarily within North America. EARNINGS PER SHARE In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 128, Earnings per Share. Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements. Share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the 65-for-1 stock split effected in conjunction with the Company's initial public offering. 6
Triumph Group, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". Both Statements become effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 1997, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effects these statements will have on its financial reporting and disclosures. The Statements are expected to have no material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, capital resources or liquidity. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. ACQUISITION On October 29, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Stolper-Fabralloy Company, LLC ("Stolper"). Stolper fabricates sheet metal from high temperature alloys, which is used primarily in the hot section of jet engines. Stolper also provides repair and overhaul services to aerospace end-users. Stolper operates facilities in Brookfield, Wisconsin and Phoenix, Arizona. The cash portion of the purchase price was approximately $33.6 million. The excess of the purchase price over net assets acquired of $19.3 million was recorded as excess of cost over net assets acquired and is being amortized over 30 years on a straight line basis. On September 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Hydro-Mill Company ("Hydro-Mill"), based in Chatsworth, California for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $42.2 million. The purchase price includes cash paid at closing, a note to the former owner, the assumption of certain liabilities, and direct costs of the acquisition. Hydro-Mill manufactures precision machined structural parts and assemblies for the aerospace industry. The excess of the purchase price over net assets acquired of $20.2 million was recorded as excess of cost over net assets acquired and is being amortized over thirty years on a straight line basis. As of April 30, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of J. D. Chapdelaine Co. ("JDC") based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for an aggregate purchase price of $5.2 million. The purchase price includes cash paid at closing, a long-term liability related to a covenant not-to-compete contract, the assumption of certain liabilities and direct costs of the acquisition. JDC specializes in the repair, overhaul and exchange of electromechanical aircraft instruments. The excess of the purchase price over net assets acquired of $1.7 million was recorded as excess of cost over net assets acquired and is being amortized over twenty-five years on a straight-line basis. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method and accordingly, are included in the consolidated financial statements from their dates of acquisition. Changes in purchase accounting estimates may result in a reallocation of the purchase price within one year of the acquisitions. The acquisitions were funded through the Company's long-term borrowings. 7
Triumph Group, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in Thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared assuming the purchases of Hydro-Mill, JDC, and Stolper had taken place on April 1, 1996: <TABLE> <CAPTION> NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------------------- 1996 1997 --------- --------- <S> <C> <C> Net Sales..................................................................... 228,231 265,661 Income before extraordinary item.............................................. 9,723 17,001 Income before extraordinary item per share (diluted).......................... 1.02 1.58 Net income.................................................................... 8,245 17,611 Net income per share (diluted)................................................ .82 1.64 The unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments for interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the purchases, additional depreciation based on the estimated fair market value of the property, plant and equipment acquired, and the amortization of the intangible assets arising from the transactions. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transactions been effected on April 1, 1996. </TABLE> 4. DIVESTITURE On July 31, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its Seattle, Washington based division, Air Lab, to Sextant Avionique, Inc. for approximately $5.9 million in cash and the assumption by the purchaser of certain liabilities. The reported results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 include the gain of $1.3 million on the sale of the Air Lab assets. For the nine months ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, Air Lab had net sales of $4.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and operating income of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. 5. INVENTORIES The components of inventories are as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, 1997 1997 ----------- --------------- <S> <C> <C> Raw materials...................................................................... $ 15,863 25,724 Work-in-process.................................................................... 17,295 24,504 Finished goods..................................................................... 21,694 26,041 ----------- ------- Total inventories at current FIFO cost............................................. 54,852 76,269 Less allowance to reduce certain current FIFO costs to LIFO basis.................. 542 542 ----------- ------- Total inventories.................................................................. $ 54,310 $ 75,727 ----------- ------- ----------- ------- </TABLE> Approximately 12% and 13% of the inventory is valued using the LIFO method at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1997, respectively. 8
Triumph Group, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in Thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) 6. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following: <TABLE> <CAPTION> MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, 1997 1997 ----------- --------------- <S> <C> <C> Revolving credit facility.......................................................... $ 8,707 $ 14,585 Subordinated promissory notes...................................................... 14,246 6,786 Junior subordinated promissory notes............................................... 407 436 Other debt and capital lease obligations........................................... 1,032 5,595 ----------- ------- 24,392 27,402 Less current portion............................................................... 399 335 ----------- ------- $ 23,993 $ 27,067 ----------- ------- ----------- ------- </TABLE> On October 24, 1997, the Company amended its existing credit agreement with its lenders to provide for an additional $40 million in borrowing capacity. The amended credit agreement increases the revolving credit facility to $125 million and is similar in form and substance to the $85 million credit agreement dated March 31, 1997. On September 15, 1997, the Company retired the remaining $8 million subordinated note payable to IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (formerly Alco Standard Corporation). The terms of the note provide for a $1 million discount in the event the note was repaid by October 1, 1997. The cash payment of $7 million was funded by the Company's long-term borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The early extinguishment of this debt resulted in an extraordinary gain of $0.6 million, net of income taxes of $0.4 million. In July 1997, the Company entered into a $10 million discretionary line of credit ("Line of Credit"). The Line of Credit bears interest at the current rate offered by the lender. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are payable on the last day of the applicable interest period or on demand. The Line of Credit expires in July 1998 and may be continued or renewed at that time. On May 5, 1997 the Company entered into a loan agreement with the City of Shelbyville, Indiana related to the City of Shelbyville, Indiana Adjustable Rate Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1997 (the "Bonds"). The proceeds of the Bonds of $5.0 million are being used to fund the expansion of the Company's K-T Corporation facility. The Bonds are due to mature on May 1, 2012 and are secured by an irrevocable letter of credit issued by PNC Bank, N.A.. The Bonds bear interest at a variable weekly rate. 9
Triumph Group, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in Thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Certain of the Company's business operations and facilities are subject to a number of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. The Company is indemnified for environmental liabilities related to assets purchased from IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (formerly Alco Standard Corporation) which existed prior to the acquisition of the assets and any unidentified environmental liabilities which arise subsequent to the date of settlement through July 22, 2000, arising from conditions or activities existing at these facilities prior to the acquisition. In the opinion of management, there are no significant environmental concerns which would have a material effect on the financial condition or operating results of the Company which are not covered by such indemnification. The Company is involved in certain litigation matters arising out of its normal business activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such litigation will not have a material effect on the financial condition or operating results of the Company. 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: <TABLE> <CAPTION> THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, -------------------- -------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> 1996 1997 1996 1997 --------- --------- --------- --------- NUMERATOR: Income before extraordinary item.......................................... $ 3,724 $ 5,877 $ 8,163 $ 16,064 Preferred stock dividends and accretion...................................

Triumph Group, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in Thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) 9. COMMON STOCK OFFERING In November 1997, the company completed the sale of 2,000,845 shares of its Common Stock for $33.00 a share through an underwritten public offering. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters of its public offering a 30 day option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments. In December 1997, the Underwriters excercised the over-allotment option and the Company sold an additional 143,100 shares of its Common Stock. The net proceeds from the sales of $66,813, were used to repay long-term debt. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On February 11, 1998, the Company agreed to acquire Frisby Aerospace ("Frisby") which designs, manufactures, assembles and tests precision aircraft components and subsystems. Frisby operates facilities in Freeport, New York and Clemmons, North Carolina. The cash portion of the purchase is approximately $14.0 million and will be funded by borrowings under the Credit Facility. The transaction is expected to close in February 1998. 11
Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULT OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 increased 33.2% to $86.2 million from $64.7 million for the three month period ended December 31, 1996. Net sales for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997 increased 26.9% to $233.2 million from $183.8 million for the nine month period ended December 31,1996. The Aviation Group's sales increased 42.1% to $63.8 million from $44.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and increased 37.1% to $166.6 million from $121.5 million for nine months ended December 31, 1997. This increase in net sales reflects the Aviation Group's acquisitions of Advanced Materials Technologies, Inc. ("AMTI"), JDC Company ("JDC"), Hydro-Mill Co. ("Hydro-Mill") and Stolper-Fabralloy Company ("Stolper"). These acquisitions contributed an aggregate of $24.1 million and $6.7 million in net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was primarily due to the inclusion of an aggregate of $43.9 million and $11.2 million in net sales for the nine months ended December 31,1997 and 1996, respectively for AMTI, JDC, Hyrdo-Mill and Stolper. The increase is partially offset by a reduction in sales due to the sale of Air Lab in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. Air Lab had sales of $1.4 and $4.0 million for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 1996, respectively, and sales of $2.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1997. The remaining operating divisions and subsidiaries in the Aviation Group experienced an 8.1% and 13.4% increase in net sales over the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996, respectively. The increase in the Aviation Group was due to increased demand for overhaul and repair services from the commercial airline and air cargo carriers, as well as increased orders of aircraft components from OEMs. Net sales for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 in the Metals Group increased 13.0% to $22.4 million from $19.8 million for the three month period ended December 31, 1996. Net sales for the nine month period ended December 31,1997 in the Metals Group increased 6.9% to $66.6 million from $62.3 million for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997. The increase in the Metals Group was primarily due to increased volume over the prior year. Cost of goods sold for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 was 71.2% of sales compared to 67.6% for the three month period ended December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of an aggregate of $16.2 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, in cost of products sold associated with the net sales generated by AMTI, JDC, Hydro-Mill and Stolper. Cost of goods sold for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997 was 70.8% compared to 69.9% for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of an aggregate of $28.2 million and $5.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, in cost of products sold associated with the net sales generated by AMTI, JDC, Hydro-Mill and Stolper. Gross profit increased by $12.6 million, or 22.8%, to $68.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 from $55.4 million for the nine months ended December 31,1996. Of this increase, $9.5 million was a result of the inclusion of gross profit on the net sales generated by AMTI, JDC, Hydro-Mill and Stolper. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 29.2% and 30.1% for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 decreased $0.5 million to $11.3 million from $11.8 million for the three month period ended December 31, 1996. For the nine month period ended December 31, 1997 these expenses increased $1.8 million to $33.3 million from $31.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of an aggregate of $5.0 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses of AMTI, JDC, and Hydro-Mill, and Stolper. Depreciation and amortization for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 increased $1.0 million to $2.5 million from $1.6 million for the three month period ended December 31 1996. Depreciation and amortization for the nine month period ended December 30, 1997 increased $2.0 million to $6.4 million 12
from $4.4 million for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to the depreciation and amortization on the increased asset base related to the inclusion of the Aviation Group's acquisitions of AMTI, JDC, Hydro-Mill and Stolper. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased from 11.7% for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 to 12.7% for the three month period ended December 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of an aggregate of $4.5 million and $1.4 million in operating income for AMTI, JDC, Hydro-Mill and Stolper for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively, accounting for $3.1 million of the increase. Similarly, operating income as a percentage of sales increased from 10.6% for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996 to 12.7% for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997. The increase for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was primarily due to the inclusion of an aggregate of $8.5 million and $2.4 million in operating income for AMTI, JDC, Hydro-Mill and Stolper for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The remaining increase was related to a $1.3 million gain on the sale of Air Lab, a $1.5 million, improvement in the operating income of the remaining operating divisions and subsidiaries in the Aviation Group and $1.3 million improvement in the operating income of the Metals Group. Interest expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31,1997 is unchanged from the three month period ended December 31, 1996. For the nine month period ended December 31, 1997 interest expense decreased $2.5 million to $3.2 million. This decrease from the prior year was primarily due to reduced debt levels associated with the application of the proceeds from the public offerings of the Company's common stock and proceeds from the sale of Air Lab, which was partially offset by the acquisitions of AMTI, JDC, Hydro-Mill, and Stolper, the cash portions of which were financed by borrowings under the Credit Agreement. An extraordinary gain for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 of $0.6 million (net of tax of $0.4 million) relates to a discount realized on the prepayment of a subordinated note payable to IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (formerly Alco Standard Corporation). An extraordinary loss for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 relates to prepayment premiums and the related write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs due to the retirement of 11% senior subordinated notes, senior term loans and the revolving credit facility. 13
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows from operations and borrowings under its credit arrangements. The Company generated approximately $4.3 million of cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1997. The Company used approximately $71.1 million in investing activities, while providing $70.5 million in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1997, $109.1 million was available under the $125.0 million credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). On October 24, 1997, the Company amended the Credit Facility, increasing it to $125.0 million from $85.0 million. The Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2002 and bears interest, at the option of the Company, at the fluctuating prime rate or LIBOR, plus applicable points. On December 31, 1997, an aggregate amount of approximately $14.6 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, $10.0 million of which was accruing interest at LIBOR (plus applicable basis points) of 6.65% per annum, and $4.6 million of which was accruing at the prime rate of 8.5% per annum. Amounts repaid under the Credit Facility may be reborrowed. On September 15, 1997, the Company retired the remaining $8 million subordinated note payable to IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (formerly Alco Standard Corporation). The terms of the note provided for a $1 million discount in the event the note was repaid by October 1, 1997. The cash payment of $7 million was funded by the Company's long-term borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The early extinguishment of this debt resulted in an extraordinary gain of $0.6 million net of income taxes of $0.4 million. In July, 1997, the Company entered into a $10 million discretionary line of credit ("Line of Credit"). The Line of Credit bears interest at the current rate offered by the lender. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are payable on the last day of the applicable interest period or on demand. The Line of Credit expires in July, 1998 and may be continued or renewed at that time. On May 5, 1997 the Company entered into a loan agreement with the City of Shelbyville, Indiana related to the City of Shelbyville, Indiana Adjustable Rate Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1997 (the "Bonds"). The proceeds of the Bonds of $5.0 million are being used to fund the expansion of the Company's K-T Corporation facility. The Bonds are due to mature on May 1, 2012 and are secured by an irrevocable letter of credit issued by PNC Bank, N.A.. The Bonds bear interest at a variable weekly rate. Capital expenditures were approximately $10.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 primarily for manufacturing machinery and equipment for the Aviation Group. The Company funded these expenditures through borrowings under its Credit Facility and from the proceeds from the Bonds. The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $15.0 million for its fiscal year ending March 31, 1998. The expenditures are expected to be used primarily to expand capacity at several facilities in the Aviation Group. On February 11, 1998 the company agreed to acquire Frisby Aerospace ("Frisby") which designs, manufactures, assembles and tests precision aircraft and subsystems. Frisby operates facilities in Freeport, New York and Clemmons, North Carolina. The cash portion of the purchase is approximately $14.0 million and will be funded by borrowings under the Credit Facility. The transaction is expected to close in February 1998. On October 29, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Stolper-Fabralloy Company ("Stolper"). The transaction was funded by borrowings under the Credit Facility. Stolper fabricates sheet metal from high temperature alloys, which is used primarily in the hot section of jet engines. Stolper also provides repair and overhaul services to aerospace end users. Stolper operates facilities in Brookfield, Wisconsin and Phoenix, Arizona. The cash portion of the purchase price was approximately $33.6 million. On September 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Hydro-Mill in a cash transaction. The transaction was funded by borrowings under the Credit Facility. Hydro-Mill, based in Chatsworth, California, specializes in the manufacture of precision machined structural parts and assemblies for the aerospace industry. The cash purchase price was approximately $31.5 million. 14
On July 31, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its Seattle, Washington based facility, Air Lab, to Sextant Avionique, Inc. for approximately $5.9 million in cash and the assumption by the purchaser of certain liabilities. In connection with the sale of AirLab, the Company and Sextant entered into a five year marketing and service agreement pursuant to which A. Biederman, a division of the Company, will serve as an authorized warranty and non warranty repair station for certain products of Sextant and as an authorized distributor for spare parts of Sextant. The Company believes that such a marketing and service agreement will enhance customer service and increase its market share in instrument repair and distribution. As of April 30, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of JDC in a cash transaction. The transaction was funded by borrowings under the Credit Facility. JDC, based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, specializes in the repair, overhaul and exchange of electromechanical aircraft instruments. The cash purchase price was approximately $2.1 million. In November 1997, the Company completed the sale of 2,000,845 shares of its Common Stock for $33.00 a share through an underwritten public offering. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters of its public offering a 30 day option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments. In December 1997, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option and the Company sold an additional 143,100 shares of its Common Stock. The net proceeds from the sales of $66,813, were used to repay long-term debt. The Company believes that cash generated by operations, borrowings under the Credit Facility, and proceeds from the Bonds will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for its current operations. However, the Company has a stated policy to grow through acquisition and is continuously evaluating various acquisition opportunities. As a result, the Company currently is pursuing the potential purchase of a number of candidates. In the event that more than one of these transactions were successfully consummated, the availability under the Credit Facility might be fully utilized and additional funding sources may be needed. There can be no assurance that such funding sources will be available to the Company. 15
