Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Triumph Group, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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-month periods ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, designs, engineers and manufactures products for original equipment manufacturers of aircraft and aircraft components and repairs and overhauls aircraft components and accessories for commercial airline, air cargo carrier and military customers on a worldwide basis.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
The Company has a number of stock-related compensation plans, including stock option and restricted stock plans, which are described in Note 2, Note 8, Note 10 and Note 20 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
The Company uses the interim financial statement disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company continues to use the accounting method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, generally, when the exercise price of the Companys employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation cost is recognized.
In April 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors approved the granting of restricted stock to several of its senior executives and employees, the number of shares of which is to be determined based upon the Companys financial performance during fiscal 2006. Up to 80,595 shares may be earned and issued. The amount of shares will be determined following the determination of net earnings per share for fiscal 2006. The restricted shares are subject to forfeiture should the grantees employment be terminated prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. Also on the same date, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted to the same group of executives and employees options to purchase 113,750 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $30.74 per share.
Also in April 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the acceleration of vesting of underwater unvested stock options held by certain current employees, including executive officers. Options to purchase 238,250 shares were subject to such acceleration. Stock options held by non-employee directors were not included in the acceleration. A stock option was considered underwater if the option exercise price was greater than $30.74 per share, the market price on the date of the acceleration. The pro forma net income reflecting the grant of the restricted shares, the grant of the stock options and the acceleration of the vesting of certain stock option grants is included in the table below.
The fair value of the Companys stock options granted in fiscal 2006 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.0%; no dividends; a volatility factor of the expected market price of the Companys Common stock of .42; and an expected life of the options of 6 years. The fair value of the Companys stock options granted in fiscal 2005 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.8%; no dividends; a volatility factor of the expected market price of the Companys Common stock of .41; and an expected life of the options of 6 years.
For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the fair value of the options ($14.25 for the options granted in fiscal 2006 and $15.04 for the options granted in fiscal 2005) is amortized to expense over the options assumed vesting period. Pro forma disclosure, as required by SFAS No. 148, regarding net income and earnings per share has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets cost and accumulated amortization at December 31, 2005 were $83,077 and $32,250, respectively. Intangible assets cost and accumulated amortization at March 31, 2005 were $83,077 and $26,850, respectively. Intangible assets consists of two major classes: (i) product rights and licenses, which at December 31, 2005 had a weighted-average life of 11.6 years, and (ii) non-compete agreements, customer relationships and other, which at December 31, 2005 had a weighted-average life of 13.4 years. Gross cost and accumulated amortization of product rights and licenses at December 31, 2005 were $69,232 and $23,041, respectively, and at March 31, 2005 were $69,232 and $18,325, respectively. Gross cost and accumulated amortization of noncompete agreements, customer relationships and other at December 31, 2005 were $13,845 and $9,209, respectively, and at March 31, 2005 were $13,845 and $8,525, respectively. Amortization expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2005 was $1,782 and $5,400, respectively. Amortization expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and the succeeding five fiscal years by year is expected to be as follows: 2006: $7,146; 2007: $6,944; 2008: $6,901; 2009: $6,763; 2010: $6,528; 2011: $4,737.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation.

3. ACQUISITIONS
The purchase price of the acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 of Rolls-Royce Gear Systems, Inc., renamed Triumph Gear Systems, Inc., may be adjusted pending the outcome of the remaining open items associated with the continuing negotiation of the long-term supply agreements that were assumed in the transaction. The Company has recorded its best estimate of the liability under the long-term supply agreements.

Less current portion
On July 27, 2005, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement (as amended and restated, the Credit Facility) with its lenders to reduce the Credit Facility to $250,000 from $265,000, extend the maturity date to July 27, 2010 and amend certain other terms and covenants. The Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) LIBOR plus between 0.75% and 1.75% or (ii) the prime rate (or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% if greater) plus up to 0.25% or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the Company. The applicable interest rate is based upon the Companys ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.175% and 0.375% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Company may allocate up to $30,000 of the available Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The Companys obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Companys subsidiaries.
On July 27, 2005, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of November 21, 2002. The amendment reaffirms the Companys covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement.
10
On November 29, 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the City of Shelbyville, Indiana related to the City of Shelbyville, Indiana Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 2005 (the 2005 Bonds). The proceeds of the 2005 Bonds of up to $6,300 are being used to fund the expansion of one of the Companys subsidiarys facility and to retire the remaining outstanding bonds from the loan agreement dated May 5, 1997 with the City of Shelbyville, Indiana relating to the City of Shelbyville, Indiana Adjustable Rate Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1997. The 2005 Bonds are due to mature on October 1, 2020 and bear interest at a variable rate equal to approximately ninety percent of the three-month LIBOR rate (the effective rate was 3.97% at December 31, 2005).
6. INCOME TAXES
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company adjusted its state effective income tax rate at which reversals of temporary differences will be taxed. The state effective income tax rate was reduced as a result from the implementation of certain tax planning strategies, which resulted in a change in the mix of taxable income across the different state taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The adjustment resulted in a reduction of income tax expense of $1,950 during the quarter ended December 31, 2005.
7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following is a reconciliation between the weighted average outstanding shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Options to purchase 416,450 shares of common stock, at prices ranging from $38.35 per share to $44.91 per share, were outstanding during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. These options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2005 and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.

9. SEGMENTS
The Company has two reportable segments: Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services. The Companys Aerospace Systems segment consists of 25 operating locations and the Aftermarket Services segment consists of 15 operating locations at December 31, 2005.
The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Companys operations which manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The segments operations design and engineer hydraulic, mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as high-lift actuation systems, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators and mechanical cables. The segments revenues are also derived from stretch forming, die forming, milling, bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication on aircraft wings, fuselages and various structural components. The segments operations also manufacture metallic and composite bonded honeycomb assemblies for floor panels, fuselages, wings and flight control surface parts. These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.
The Aftermarket Services segment provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services to both commercial and military markets on components and accessories manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenues are derived from services on auxiliary power units, constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic drive units. In addition, the segment repairs and overhauls thrust reversers, nacelle components and other aerostructures. The segments operations also perform repair and overhaul services, and supply spare parts, for various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines on a worldwide basis.
As of March 31, 2005, the Other segment operations ceased and any residual assets that were not sold were transferred to other Company facilities. The Other segments operations, which were primarily comprised of the industrial gas turbine businesses, manufactured or repaired and overhauled industrial gas turbine components, primarily for OEMs and power generation equipment operators and applied high temperature coatings for both internal and external customers.
Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses identifiable with that segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs and any other costs not identifiable with one of the Companys segments.
12
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating income of each reportable segment, rather than at the operating location level. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2).

Income from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 increased 115.4% to $23.6 million, or $1.47 per diluted common share, compared to income from continuing operations of $10.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share in the prior year period. During the nine months, we generated $26.3 million of cash flow from operations.
Realignment
During fiscal 2005, we exited the Industrial Gas Turbine (IGT) business, which had been included in the Other segment through March 31, 2005. Effective March 31, 2005, any residual assets that were not sold were transferred to other facilities in our two remaining segments.

Changes in net sales and segment operating income are discussed within the Business Segment Performance section below.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 21.5%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to increases in compensation expense, healthcare and other costs associated with acquisitions that we pursued but did not complete.
Interest expense and other decreased by $0.1 million, or 3.2%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $3.2 million for the prior year period. Lower average borrowings outstanding and lower foreign exchange transaction losses were mostly offset by increased interest rates on our variable rate debt.
The effective tax rate was 7.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 30.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The effective tax rates of 7.6% and 30.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, vary from the federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to benefits realized from the research and development tax credit and the Extraterritorial Income (ETI) Exclusion. Additionally, the third quarter of fiscal 2006 includes a $2.0 million reduction of income tax expense resulting from adjusting the income tax rate at which reversals of temporary differences will be taxed.
The discontinued operations were sold during fiscal 2005. Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was $9.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The benefit for income taxes for discontinued operations was $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004.
We have two reportable segments: Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services. The Aerospace Systems segment consists of our operations which manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The segments operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems, high-lift actuation systems, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators and mechanical control cables. The segments revenues are also derived from stretch forming, die forming, milling, bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication of various structural components used in aircraft wings, fuselages and other significant assemblies. Further, the segments operations also manufacture metallic and composite bonded honeycomb assemblies for floor panels, fuselages, wings and flight control surface parts. These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.
The Aftermarket Services segment provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services to both commercial and military markets on components and accessories manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenues are derived from services on auxiliary power units and aircraft accessories, including constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic drive units. In addition, the segments operations repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components and other aerostructures. The segments operations also perform repair and overhaul services, and supply spare parts, for various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines on a worldwide basis.

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $20.4 million, or 16.9%, to $141.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $121.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase was due to the increased sales of large structural precision components and assemblies for the aerospace and defense markets and cabin windows for the general aviation and corporate jet markets resulting from increased production of both commercial and military aircraft.
Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $4.0 million, or 29.4%, to $17.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $13.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Operating income increased due to higher sales volume as described above and improved sales mix, primarily for structural precision components partially offset by an increase in staffing, depreciation and amortization expenses, incentive compensation expenses and litigation costs.
Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $1.2 million, or 2.8%, to $46.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $44.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to growth in global commercial air traffic and U.S. military maintenance demand resulting in increased demand for the repair and overhaul of auxiliary power units as well as the brokering of similar units, offset by the loss of specific repair and overhaul business which is now being performed in-house by the customer.
Aftermarket Services segment operating income decreased by $2.7 million, or 104.9%, to a loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The core growth in repair and overhaul service companies has been offset by increases in compensation expense, development costs incurred by the castings facility and new aerospace-related business associated with the Phoenix operations.
17
Other Segment: Effective March 31, 2005, we no longer have Other as a reportable segment. As of March 31, 2005 the Other segment operations had ceased and any residual assets were transferred to other Company facilities. During the three months ended December 31, 2004, the Other segment had sales primarily related to its IGT operations of $6.4 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2004, the Other segment incurred an operating loss of $3.9 million primarily as a result from falling sales to both OEMs and power generation equipment operators in the IGT market.

Net Income
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 11.9%, to $10.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $9.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to rent expense and other costs associated with idle facilities as well as increased staffing, incentive compensation expense and costs associated with acquisitions that we pursued but did not complete, partially offset by decreased legal and regulatory costs.
Interest expense and other decreased by $0.2 million, or 2.2%, to $9.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $9.7 million for the prior year period. This decrease was due to lower average borrowings outstanding and lower foreign exchange transaction losses mostly offset by increased interest rates on our variable rate debt.
The effective tax rate was 23.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 29.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The effective tax rates of 23.3% and 29.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, vary from the federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to benefits realized from the research and development tax credit and the Extraterritorial Income (ETI) Exclusion. The first nine months of fiscal 2006 also includes a $2.0 million reduction of income tax expense resulting from adjusting the income tax rate at which reversals of temporary differences will be taxed.
The discontinued operations were sold during fiscal 2005. Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was $7.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The benefit from income taxes for discontinued operations was $2.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $53.4 million, or 14.7%, to $416.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $362.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase was due to the increased sales of large structural precision components and assemblies for the aerospace and defense markets and cabin windows for the general aviation and corporate jet markets resulting from increased production of both commercial and military aircraft.
Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $11.5 million, or 29.2%, to $50.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $39.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. Operating income increased due to higher sales volume as described above and improved sales mix, primarily for structural precision components partially offset by an increase in staffing, depreciation and amortization expenses, incentive compensation expense and increased investments in research and development costs.
Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $7.3 million, or 5.7%, to $134.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $127.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to growth in global commercial air traffic and U.S. military maintenance demand resulting in increased demand for our repair and overhaul services.
Aftermarket Services segment operating income decreased by $6.1 million, or 100%, to $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $6.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The sales increases as discussed above have been offset by an increase in staffing, depreciation expense, losses associated with customer bankruptcies, compensation expense and costs incurred in developing products associated with new aerospace programs.

Other Segment:Effective March 31, 2005, we no longer have Other as a reportable segment. As of March 31, 2005 the Other segment operations had ceased and any residual assets were transferred to other Company facilities. During the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Other segment had sales primarily related to its IGT operations of $21.6 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Other segment incurred an operating loss of $10.8 million primarily as a result from falling sales to both OEMs and power generation equipment operators in the IGT market.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit arrangements. During the nine month period ended December 31, 2005, we generated approximately $26.3 million of cash flows from operating activities, used approximately $29.9 million in investing activities and generated approximately $3.6 million from financing activities.
On July 27, 2005, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement (as amended and restated, the Credit Facility) with its lenders to reduce the Credit Facility to $250.0 million from $265.0 million, extend the maturity date to July 27, 2010 and amend certain other terms and covenants. The Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) LIBOR plus between 0.75% and 1.75% or (ii) the prime rate (or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% if greater) plus between 0.00% and 0.25% or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the Company. The applicable interest rate is based upon the Companys ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.175% and 0.375% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Company may allocate up to $30.0 million of the available Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The Companys obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Companys subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2005, $208.6 million was available under our Credit Facility. On December 31, 2005, an aggregate amount of approximately $34.5 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, $20.0 million of which was accruing interest at LIBOR plus applicable basis points totaling 5.6% per annum, and $14.5 million of which was accruing interest at the overnight interest rate of 5.6% per annum. Amounts repaid under the Credit Facility may be reborrowed.
On November 29, 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the City of Shelbyville, Indiana related to the City of Shelbyville, Indiana Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 2005 (the 2005 Bonds). The proceeds of the 2005 Bonds of up to $6.3 million are being used to fund the expansion of one of the Companys subsidiarys facility and to retire the remaining outstanding bonds from the loan agreement dated May 5, 1997 with the City of Shelbyville, Indiana relating to the City of Shelbyville, Indiana Adjustable Rate Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1997. The 2005 Bonds are due to mature on October 1, 2020 and bear interest at a variable rate equal to approximately ninety percent of the three-month LIBOR rate (the effective rate was 3.97% at December 31, 2005).
Capital expenditures were approximately $17.3 million for the nine month period ended December 31, 2005 and were primarily for manufacturing machinery and equipment. We funded these expenditures through borrowings under our Credit Facility. We expect capital expenditures to be up to $30.0 million for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. The expenditures are expected to be used mainly to expand capacity or replace old equipment at several facilities.

We believe that cash generated by operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for our current operations. However, we have a stated policy to grow through acquisition and are continuously evaluating various acquisition opportunities. As a result, we currently are pursuing the potential purchase of a number of candidates. In the event that more than one of these transactions are 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 us on terms favorable to us, if at all.
