1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Triumph Group, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") 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 U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2017. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the fiscal 2016 audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 27, 2016.

The Company designs, engineers, manufactures, repairs and overhauls a broad portfolio of aerostructures, aircraft components, accessories, subassemblies and systems. The Company serves a broad, worldwide spectrum of the aviation industry, including original equipment manufacturers of commercial, regional, business and military aircraft and aircraft components, as well as commercial and regional airlines and air cargo carriers.

Effective April 1, 2016, the Company realigned into four reportable segments: Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures, Precision Components and Product Support segments (see Note 12).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are generally recognized in accordance with the contract terms when products are shipped, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. A significant portion of the Company’s contracts are within the scope of the Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts topic of the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-35 and revenue and costs on contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Accounting for the revenue and profit on a contract requires estimates of (1) the contract value or total contract revenue, (2) the total costs at completion, which is equal to the sum of the actual incurred costs to date on the contract and the estimated costs to complete the contract’s scope of work, and (3) the measurement of progress toward completion. Depending on the contract, the Company measures progress toward completion using either the cost-to-cost method or the units-of-delivery method of accounting, with the great majority measured under the units-of-delivery method of accounting.


•	Under the cost-to-cost method of accounting, progress toward completion is measured as the ratio of total costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion. Costs are recognized as incurred. Profit is determined based on estimated profit margin on the contract multiplied by the progress toward completion. Revenue represents the sum of costs and profit on the contract for the period.

•

Under the units-of-delivery method of accounting, revenue on a contract is recorded as the units are delivered and accepted during the period at an amount equal to the contractual selling price of those units. The costs recorded on a contract under the units-of-delivery method of accounting are equal to the total costs at completion divided by the total units to be delivered. As contracts can span multiple years, the Company often segments the contracts into production lots for the purposes of accumulating and allocating cost. Profit is recognized as the difference between revenue for the units delivered and the estimated costs for the units delivered.

(unaudited)

Adjustments to original estimates for a contract’s revenues, estimated costs at completion and estimated total profit are often required as work progresses under a contract, as experience is gained and as more information is obtained, even though the scope of work required under the contract may not change, or if contract modifications occur. These estimates are also sensitive to the assumed rate of production. Generally, the longer it takes to complete the contract quantity, the more relative overhead that contract will absorb. The impact of revisions in cost estimates is recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are made. Provisions for anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in the period in which they become evident (‘‘forward losses’’) and are first offset against costs that are included in inventory, with any remaining amount reflected in accrued contract liabilities in accordance with the Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts topic. Revisions in contract estimates, if significant, can materially affect results of operations and cash flows, as well as valuation of inventory. Furthermore, certain contracts are combined or segmented for revenue recognition in accordance with the Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts topic.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company discovered an immaterial error in its percentage-of-completion accounting for one of its contracts, which understated cost of sales and overstated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016, in the amount of $11,800 and $8,142, respectively and overstated retained earnings as of March 31, 2016, in the amount of $12,700. The Company assessed the materiality of this error on previously issued financial statements in accordance with the ASC 250, Presentation of Financial Statements, and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality. The Company concluded, based on a review of the quantitative and qualitative factors of the materiality of the amount, that the error was not material to any previously issued financial statements and the correction of the error in the three months ended September 30, 2016 was not material to that period’s financial statements. Accordingly, in order to correct this immaterial error, the Company has recorded a charge to "Cost of sales" in the amount of $24,500, which is presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the nine months ended December 31, 2016.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, cumulative catch-up adjustments from changes in estimates, inclusive of changes in forward loss estimates, increased operating income, net income and earnings per share by approximately $2,131, $1,762 and $0.04, net of tax, respectively. The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2016, included gross favorable adjustments of approximately $9,663 and gross unfavorable adjustments of approximately $(7,532). For the three months ended December 31, 2015, cumulative catch-up adjustments from changes in estimates decreased operating income, net income and earnings per share by approximately $(2,846), $(1,776) and $(0.04), net of tax, respectively.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, cumulative catch-up adjustments from changes in estimates, inclusive of changes in forward loss estimates and the correction of the error noted above, decreased operating income, net income and earnings per share by approximately $(6,290), $(4,522) and $(0.09), net of tax, respectively. The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, included gross favorable adjustments of approximately $50,180 and gross unfavorable adjustments of approximately $(56,470), which includes a reduction to the previously recognized forward losses on the 747-8 program of $41,300. For the nine months ended December 31, 2015, cumulative catch-up adjustments from changes in estimates decreased operating income, net income and earnings per share by approximately $(13,796), $(11,690) and $(0.24), net of tax, respectively.

Amounts representing contract change orders or claims are only included in revenue when such change orders or claims have been settled with the customer and to the extent that units have been delivered. Additionally, some contracts may contain provisions for revenue sharing, price re-determination, requests for equitable adjustments, change orders or cost and/or performance incentives. Such amounts or incentives are included in contract value when the amounts can be reliably estimated and their realization is reasonably assured.

Although fixed-price contracts, which extend several years into the future, generally permit the Company to keep unexpected profits if costs are less than projected, the Company also bears the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce profit or cause the Company to sustain losses on the contract. In a fixed-price contract, the Company must fully absorb cost overruns, notwithstanding the difficulty of estimating all of the costs the Company will incur in performing these contracts and in projecting the ultimate level of revenue that may otherwise be achieved.

As disclosed during fiscal 2016, the Company recognized a provision for forward losses associated with our long-term contract on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. There is still risk similar to what the Company has experienced on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. Particularly, the Company's ability to manage risks related to supplier performance, execution of

(unaudited)

cost reduction strategies, hiring and retaining skilled production and management personnel, quality and manufacturing execution, program schedule delays, potential need to negotiate facility lease extensions or alternatively relocate work and many other risks, will determine the ultimate performance of these programs.

Included in net sales of Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures and Precision Components is the non-cash amortization of acquired contract liabilities that were recognized as fair value adjustments through purchase accounting from various acquisitions. For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $29,206 and $34,425, respectively, into net sales on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $89,031 and $99,928, respectively, into net sales on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Product Support provides repair and overhaul services, of which a small portion of services are provided under long-term power-by-the-hour contracts. The Company applies the proportional performance method of accounting to recognize revenue under these contracts. Revenue is recognized over the contract period as units are delivered based on the relative value in proportion to the total estimated contract consideration. In estimating the total contract consideration, management evaluates the projected utilization of its customers’ fleet over the term of the contract, in connection with the related estimated repair and overhaul servicing requirements to the fleet based on such utilization. Changes in utilization of the fleet by customers, among other factors, may have an impact on these estimates and require adjustments to estimates of revenue to be realized.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s trade accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. However, the risk is limited due to the diversity of the customer base and the customer base’s wide geographical area. Trade accounts receivable from Boeing (representing commercial, military and space) represented approximately 11% and 18% of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Company had no other concentrations of credit risk of more than 10%.

Sales to Boeing for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, were $928,020, or 36% of net sales, of which $157,772, $427,960, $317,426 and $24,862 were from the Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures, Precision Components and Product Support, respectively. Sales to Boeing for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, were $1,068,313, or 38% of net sales, of which $146,882, $648,380, $247,579 and $25,472 were from the Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures, Precision Components and Product Support, respectively.

Sales to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, were $321,671, or 12% of net sales, of which $1,418, $311,207, $8,855 and $191 were from the Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures, Precision Components and Product Support, respectively. Sales to Gulfstream for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, were $366,710, or 13% of net sales, of which $2,665, $358,768, $5,264 and $13 were from the Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures, Precision Components and Product Support, respectively.

No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales. However, the loss of any significant customer, including Boeing and Gulfstream, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its operating subsidiaries.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based awards based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, was $2,163 and $737, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, was $6,140 and $1,908, respectively. The Company has classified share-based compensation within selling, general and administrative expenses to correspond with the same line item as the majority of the cash compensation paid to employees. Upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock, the Company first transfers treasury stock, then issues new shares.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company performed interim and annual assessments of the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company concluded the fair value of the Vought and Embee tradenames did not exceed their carrying value. Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. Additionally, the Company determined that the tradenames will be amortized over their estimated remaining useful life of 20 years.

Amortization expense for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, was $13,348 and $12,409, respectively. Amortization expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, was $40,565 and $42,819, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company has applied fair value measurements to its interest rate swap (see Note 4 and Note 6).

Warranty Reserves

A reserve has been established to provide for the estimated future cost of warranties on our delivered products. The Company periodically reviews the reserves and adjustments are made accordingly. A provision for warranty on products delivered is made on the basis of historical experience and identified warranty issues. Warranties cover such factors as non-conformance to specifications and defects in material and workmanship. The majority of the Company's agreements include a three-year warranty, although certain programs have warranties up to 20 years. The warranty reserves as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, were $108,287 and $112,937, respectively.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Fairchild Controls Corporation

Effective October 21, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Fairchild Controls Corporation ("Fairchild"). Fairchild is a leading provider of proprietary thermal management systems, auxiliary power generation systems, and related aftermarket spares and repairs. The acquired business operates as Triumph Thermal Systems-Maryland, Inc. and its results are included in Integrated Systems from the date of acquisition.

The purchase price for Fairchild was $57,130, including a working capital adjustment paid in January 2016. Goodwill in the amount of $14,695 was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized such as assembled workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company has also identified an intangible asset related to customer relationships valued at $18,000 with a weighted-average life of 12.0 years.

The following condensed balance sheet represents the amounts assigned to each major asset and liability caption in the aggregate from the acquisition of Fairchild, in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations:



	October 21, 2015
Cash	$	9,075
Accounts receivable	8,841
Inventory	15,069
Prepaid expenses	263
Property and equipment	6,632
Goodwill	14,695
Intangible assets	18,000
Deferred taxes	5,889
Total assets	$	78,464

Accounts payable	$	1,284

The Company finalized its estimates after it was able to determine that it had obtained all necessary information that existed as of the acquisition date related to these matters.

The Fairchild acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method and, accordingly, is included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition. The Company incurred $569 in acquisition-related costs in connection with the Fairchild acquisition.

4. DIVESTED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

In September 2016, the Company sold all of the shares of Triumph Aerospace Systems-Newport News, Inc. ("TAS-Newport News") for total cash proceeds of $9,000. As a result of the sale of TAS-Newport News, the Company recognized a loss of $4,774 which is presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as "Loss on divestiture and assets held for sale." The operating results of TAS-Newport News were included in Integrated Systems through the date of disposal.

In December 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest Triumph Air Repair, the Auxiliary Power Unit Overhaul Operations of Triumph Aviations Services - Asia, Ltd. and Triumph Engines - Tempe ("Engines and APU"). As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $14,350 on the expected sale which is presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as "Loss on divestiture and assets held for sale." For financial statement purposes, the assets and liabilities of these business have been segregated from those of the continuing operations and are presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities related to assets held for sale", respectively. The operating results of Engines and APU will be included in Product Support through the date of disposal. The transaction is expected to close in stages by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.

The disposal of these entities does not represent a strategic shift and is not expected to have a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results, as defined by ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations; as a result, the disposals do not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations.

To measure the amount of impairment, the Company compared the fair values of assets and liabilities at the evaluation dates to the carrying amounts at the end of the month prior to the respective evaluation dates. The sale of TAS-Newport News and Engines and APU assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The key assumption included the negotiated sales price of the assets and the assumptions of the liabilities (see Note 2 above for definition of levels).

5. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (average-cost or specific-identification methods) or market. The components of inventories are as follows:



	December 31, 2016			March 31, 2016
Raw materials	$	102,002		$	81,989
Work-in-process, including manufactured and purchased components	1,289,607			1,100,660
Finished goods	137,157			124,744
Rotable assets	54,622			51,952
Less: unliquidated progress payments	(109,334		)	(123,155		)
Total inventories	$	1,474,054		$	1,236,190

Work-in-process inventory includes capitalized pre-production costs on newer development programs. Capitalized pre-production costs include nonrecurring engineering, planning and design, including applicable overhead, incurred before production is manufactured on a regular basis. Significant customer-directed work changes can also cause pre-production costs to be incurred. These costs are typically recovered over a contractually determined number of ship set deliveries. The balance of development program inventory, comprised principally of capitalized pre-production costs, excluding progress

payments related to the Company's contracts with Bombardier for the Global 7000/8000 program ("Bombardier") and Embraer for the second generation E-Jet program ("Embraer") are as follows:



	December 31, 2016
	Inventory		Capitalized Pre-Production		Forward Loss Provision			Total Inventory, net
Bombardier	$	53,702	$	548,710	$	(399,758	)	$	202,654
Embraer	14,320		169,586		—			183,906
Total	$	68,022	$	718,296	$	(399,758	)	$	386,560

	March 31, 2016
	Inventory		Capitalized Pre-Production		Forward Loss Provision			Total Inventory, net
Bombardier	$	6,662	$	406,147	$	(399,758	)	$	13,051
Embraer	5,139		146,765		—			151,904
Total	$	11,801	$	552,912	$	(399,758	)	$	164,955

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded a $399,758 forward loss charge for the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 wing program. Under our contract for this program, the Company has the right to design, develop and manufacture wing components over the initial 300 ship sets. The Global 7000/8000 contract provides for fixed pricing and requires the Company to fund certain up-front development expenses, with certain milestone payments made by Bombardier.

The Global 7000/8000 program charge resulted in the impairment of previously capitalized pre-production costs due to the combination of cost recovery uncertainty, higher than anticipated non-recurring costs and increased forecasted costs on recurring production. The increases in costs were driven by several factors, including: changing technical requirements, increased spending on the design and engineering phase of the program, and uncertainty regarding cost reduction and cost recovery initiatives with our customer and suppliers.

The program has continued to incur costs since March 2016 in support of the development and transition to production and the Company is in commercial discussions with Bombardier regarding recovery of those costs.

Further cost increases, or an inability to meet revised recurring cost forecasts, or an inability to reach a favorable resolution of cost recovery on the Global 7000/8000 program will likely result in additional forward loss reserves in future periods, while improvements in future costs compared to current estimates or additional cost recovery may result in favorable adjustments if forward loss reserves are no longer required.

The Company is still in the pre-production stages for the Bombardier and Embraer programs, as these aircrafts are not scheduled to enter service until 2018, or later. Transition of these programs from development to recurring production levels is dependent upon the success of the programs at achieving flight testing and certification, as well as the ability of the Bombardier and Embraer programs to generate acceptable levels of aircraft sales. The failure to achieve these milestones and level of sales or significant cost overruns may result in additional forward losses.

Revolving Credit Facility

In October 2016, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement , among the Company, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent (the “Seventh Amendment” and the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Seventh Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). Specifically, the Existing Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) modify certain financial covenants to allow for the add-back of certain cash and non-cash charges, (ii) increase the maximum permitted total leverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio financial covenants commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2017, (iii) permit the sale of certain specified assets so long as the Company applies 65.0% of the net proceeds received from such sales to the outstanding term loan, pro rata across all maturities, (iv) establish a new higher pricing tier for the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing provisions, (v) increase the interest rate and letter of credit fee pricing provisions for several of the lower tiers of the pricing grid, (vi) establish the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing at the highest pricing tier until the Company delivers its compliance certificate for its fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017, and (vii) extend the period during which the increased minimum revolver availability threshold test and the decreased maximum senior secured leverage ratio threshold test are in effect in connection with the Company making certain permitted investments, certain additional permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of certain types of indebtedness to the date the Company delivers its compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017

In May 2016, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among the Company, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent (the “Sixth Amendment” and the Credit Facility, as amended by the Sixth Amendment, the “Credit Facility”), pursuant to which those lenders electing to enter into the Sixth Amendment extended the expiration date for the revolving line of credit and the maturity date for the term loan by five years to May 3, 2021. Lenders holding revolving credit commitments aggregating $940,000 elected to extend the expiration date for the revolving line of credit, and Lenders holding approximately $324,500 of term loans (out of an aggregate outstanding term loan balance of approximately $330,000) elected to extend the term loan maturity date. In connection with the amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company incurred $5,126 of financing costs. These costs, along with the $4,626 of unamortized financing costs prior to the amendment, are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.

(iv) establish the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing at the highest pricing tier until the Company delivers its compliance certificate for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, (v) increase the minimum revolver availability threshold test in connection with the Company making certain permitted investments, certain additional permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of certain types of indebtedness, and (vi) decrease the maximum senior secured leverage ratio threshold test in connection with the Company making certain permitted investments, certain permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of certain types of indebtedness during the period from the date of the Sixth Amendment until the Company delivers its compliance certificate for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.

In May 2014, the Company amended the Credit Facility with its lenders to (i) increase the maximum amount allowed for the receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”) and (ii) amend certain other terms and covenants.

In November 2013, the Company amended and restated its existing Credit Facility with its lenders to: (i) provide for a $375,000 Term Loan with a maturity date of May 14, 2019 (the "2013 Term Loan"); (ii) maintain a Revolving Line of Credit under the Credit Facility of $1,000,000 with a $250,000 accordion feature; (iii) extend the maturity date to November 19, 2018; and (iv) amend certain other terms and covenants.

The Company will repay the outstanding principal amount of the 2013 Term Loan in quarterly installments, on the first business day of each January, April, July and October, commencing April 2014.

The obligations under the Credit Facility and related documents are secured by liens on substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2013, among the administrative agent, the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto.

Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company can borrow, repay and re-borrow revolving credit loans, and cause to be issued letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1,000,000 outstanding at any time. The Credit Facility bears interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus between 1.38% and 2.50%; (ii) the prime rate; or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the Company. The applicable interest rate is based upon the Company’s 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 0.25% and 0.45% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

At December 31, 2016, there were $456,121 in borrowings and $27,888 in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit provisions of the Credit Facility, primarily to support insurance policies. At March 31, 2016, there were $140,000 in borrowings and $25,709 in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit provisions of the Credit Facility, primarily to support insurance policies. The level of unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Line of Credit provisions of the Credit Facility varies from time to time depending in part upon its compliance with financial and other covenants set forth in the related agreement. The Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on specified levels of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and interest coverage requirements, and includes limitations on, among other things, liens, mergers, consolidations, sales of assets, and incurrence of debt. If an event of default were to occur under the Credit Facility, the lenders would be entitled to declare all amounts borrowed under it immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility could also cause the acceleration of obligations under certain other agreements. The Company is currently in compliance with all such covenants. Although the Company does not anticipate any violations of the financial covenants, its ability to comply with these covenants is dependent upon achieving earnings and cash flow projections. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had borrowing capacity under this facility of $248,829 after reductions for borrowings, letters of credit outstanding under the facility and consideration of covenant limitations.

In connection with the Company amending and restating the Credit Facility to add the 2013 Term Loan, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement through November 2018 to reduce its exposure to interest on the variable rate portion of its long-term debt. On the date of inception, the Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge in accordance with FASB guidance on accounting for derivatives and hedges and linked the interest rate swap to the 2013 Term Loan. The Company formally documented the hedging relationship between the 2013 Term Loan and the interest rate swap, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument's effectiveness will be assessed and a description of the method of measuring the ineffectiveness. The

(unaudited)

Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on a quarterly basis, whether the derivative item is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows.

As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the interest rate swap agreement had a notional amount of $316,406 and $337,500, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the interest rate swap agreement had a fair value of $552 and $4,526, respectively, which is recorded in other noncurrent liabilities with an offset to other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes (Level 2). The interest rate swap settles on a monthly basis when interest payments are made. These settlements occur through the maturity date.

Receivables Securitization Facility

In November 2014, the Company amended its Securitization Facility, increasing the purchase limit from $175,000 to $225,000 and extending the term through November 2017. In connection with the Securitization Facility, the Company sells on a revolving basis certain trade accounts receivable to Triumph Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned special-purpose entity, which in turn sells a percentage ownership interest in the receivables to commercial paper conduits sponsored by financial institutions. The Company is the servicer of the trade accounts receivable under the Securitization Facility. As of December 31, 2016, the maximum amount available under the Securitization Facility was $225,000. Interest rates are based on LIBOR plus a program fee and a commitment fee. The program fee is 0.40% on the amount outstanding under the Securitization Facility. Additionally, the commitment fee is 0.40% on 100.00% of the maximum amount available under the Securitization Facility. At December 31, 2016, there was $140,300 outstanding under the Securitization Facility. In connection with amending the Securitization Facility, the Company incurred approximately $252 of financing costs. These costs, along with the $341 of unamortized financing costs prior to the amendment, are being amortized over the life of the Securitization Facility. The Company secures its trade accounts receivable, which are generally non-interest bearing, in transactions that are accounted for as borrowings pursuant to the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC 860. The Securitization Facility is classified within the current portion of long term debt on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016. The Securitization Facility's net availability is not impacted by the borrowing capacity of the Credit Facility.

The agreement governing the Securitization Facility contains restrictions and covenants, including limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

Capital Leases

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company financed $11,504 and $13, respectively, of property and equipment additions through capital leases. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, the Company obtained financing for existing fixed assets in the amount of $6,497.

Senior Notes Due 2021

On February 26, 2013, the Company issued $375,000 principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes"). The 2021 Notes were sold at 100% of principal amount and have an effective interest yield of 4.875%. Interest on the 2021 Notes accrues at the rate of 4.875% per annum and is payable semiannually in cash in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2013. In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $6,327 of costs, which are a direct deduction to the face amount of the note and are being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the 2021 Notes.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, to ensure that the Company had full access to our Credit Facility during fiscal 2017, the Company obtained approval from the holders of the 2021 Notes to amend the terms of the indenture to conform with the 2022 Notes (as defined below) which allows for a higher level of secured debt. Absent this consent, the Company would have been restricted as to the level of new borrowings under the Credit Facility during fiscal 2017. As part of obtaining the consent, the Company paid the holders of the 2021 Notes $5,466, which is being amortized on the effective interest method over the remaining term of the 2021 Notes.

Further, to mitigate the risk of failing to obtain the consent and to ensure the Company had adequate liquidity through fiscal 2017, the Company chose to make a significant draw on the Credit Facility in early April 2016, taking the outstanding balance to approximately $800,000. The Company paid down substantially all of the draw to the Credit Facility upon receiving consent from the holders of the 2021 Notes in May 2016.

Receivables Purchase Agreement

On March 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement ("Receivables Purchase Agreement") to sell certain accounts receivables to a financial institution without recourse. The Company is the servicer of the accounts receivable under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. As of March 31, 2016, the maximum amount available under the Receivables Purchase Agreement was $90,000. Interest rates are based on LIBOR plus 0.65% - 0.70%. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company sold $88,666 and $89,900, respectively, worth of eligible accounts receivable.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value because of their short maturities (Level 1 inputs). Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value in the financial statements are as follows:



	December 31, 2016				March 31, 2016
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt	$	1,658,380	$	1,623,888	$	1,417,320	$	1,354,961

The fair value of the long-term debt was calculated based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements, unless quoted market prices were available (Level 2 inputs).

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:



	Three Months Ended December 31,		Nine Months Ended December 31,
	(in thousands)		(in thousands)
	2016	2015	2016	2015
Weighted-average common shares outstanding – basic	49,329	49,228	49,294	49,213
Net effect of dilutive stock options and nonvested stock	111	—	127	99
Weighted-average common shares outstanding – diluted	49,440	49,228	49,421	49,312

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the Income Taxes topic of the ASC 740, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company has classified uncertain tax positions as noncurrent income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid in one year. Penalties and tax-related interest expense are reported as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties was $271 and $239, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $9,930 and $9,212, respectively, of which $9,930 and $9,212, respectively, would impact the effective rate, if recognized. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced in the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company has a valuation allowance against substantially all of its net deferred tax assets given insufficient positive evidence to support the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company intends to

Table of Contents

Triumph Group, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

continue maintaining a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. A reduction in the valuation allowance could result in a significant decrease in income tax expense in the period that the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the reduction in its valuation allowance is unknown at this time and will be subject to the earnings level the Company achieves during fiscal 2017 as well as the Company's projected income in future periods.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2016, was 17.3% as compared to 37.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2015. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the income tax provision reflected the partial reversal of previously established valuation allowance related to the capital loss generated from the divestiture of TAS-Newport News. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the income tax provision included the benefit from the retroactive reinstatement of the R&D tax credit of $3,034.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, was 28.1% as compared to 15.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the income tax provision includes the disallowed tax benefit of $1,277 related to the capital loss generated from the divestiture of TAS-Newport News. For the nine months ended December 31, 2015, the income tax provision included the benefit of $4,213 from a decrease to the state deferred tax rate, the benefit of $421 related to the effects of transfer pricing adjustments carried back to prior periods and the benefit from the retroactive reinstatement of the R&D tax credit of $3,034.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2011, state or local examinations for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2011, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2009.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company is subject to examination in one state jurisdiction. The Company has filed appeals in a prior state examination related to fiscal years ended March 31, 1999 through March 31, 2005. Because of net operating losses acquired as part of the acquisition of Vought, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations and various state jurisdictions for the years ended December 31, 2001, and after related to previously filed Vought tax returns. The Company believes appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

9. GOODWILL

The following is a summary of the changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment, from March 31, 2016 through December 31, 2016:

10. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees. Certain employee groups are ineligible to participate in the plans or have ceased to accrue additional benefits under the plans based upon their service to the Company or years of service accrued under the defined benefit pension plans. Benefits under the defined benefit plans are based on years of service and, for most non-represented employees, on average compensation for certain years. It is the Company’s policy to fund at least the minimum amount required for all qualified plans, using actuarial cost methods and assumptions acceptable under U.S. Government regulations, by making payments into a separate trust.

In addition to the defined benefit pension plans, the Company provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. Such benefits are unfunded. Employees achieve eligibility to participate in these contributory plans

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

upon retirement from active service if they meet specified age and years of service requirements. Election to participate for some employees must be made at the date of retirement. Qualifying dependents at the date of retirement are also eligible for medical coverage. Current plan documents reserve the right to amend or terminate the plans at any time, subject to applicable collective bargaining requirements for represented employees. From time to time, changes have been made to the benefits provided to various groups of plan participants. Premiums charged to most retirees for medical coverage prior to age 65 are based on years of service and are adjusted annually for changes in the cost of the plans as determined by an independent actuary. In addition to this medical inflation cost-sharing feature, the plans also have provisions for deductibles, co-payments, coinsurance percentages, out-of-pocket limits, schedules of reasonable fees, preferred provider networks, coordination of benefits with other plans and a Medicare carve-out.

In accordance with the Compensation – Retirement Benefits topic of ASC 715, the Company has recognized the funded status of the benefit obligation as of the date of the last remeasurement, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan’s assets and the pension benefit obligation or accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, of the plan. In order to recognize the funded status, the Company determined the fair value of the plan assets. The majority of the plan assets are publicly traded investments which were valued based on the market price as of the date of remeasurement. Investments that are not publicly traded were valued based on the estimated fair value of those investments based on our evaluation of data from fund managers and comparable market data.

•

In April 2015, the Company's largest union-represented group of employees ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. The agreement includes an amendment to the retirement plan, for which actively employed participants will no longer continue to accrue a benefit after 30 years of service. This change resulted in a curtailment charge of approximately $2,863 and is presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as "Curtailment charge."

Issuance of Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Options

Included in the employment agreement for the Company's CEO were restricted stock awards totaling 179,134 shares. The awards generally vest in full after four to seven years. The fair value of the awards is determined by the product of the number of shares granted, the grant date market price of the Company's stock and adjusted for the market conditions necessary to achieve the awards. Certain of these awards contain performance conditions, in addition to service conditions. The fair value of the awards is expensed over a graded vesting period of the requisite service period of four to seven years.

In addition the employment agreement included 150,000 stock options with an exercise price of $30.86, a contractual term of 10 years and vesting over a 4-year period.

12. SEGMENTS

Effective April 2016, the Company realigned into four reportable segments: the Integrated Systems, the Aerospace Structures, the Precision Components and the Product Support. The Company’s reportable segments are aligned with how the business is managed and views the markets that the Company serves. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM") evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon review of segment information. The CODM utilizes earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a primary measure of segment profitability to evaluate performance of its segments and allocate resources.

Integrated Systems consists of the Company’s operations that provides integrated solutions including design, development and support of proprietary components, subsystems and systems, as well as production of complex assemblies using external designs. Capabilities include hydraulic, mechanical and electro-mechanical actuation, power and control; a complete suite of aerospace gearbox solutions including engine accessory gearboxes and helicopter transmissions; active and passive heat exchange technology; fuel pumps, fuel metering units and Full Authority Digital Electronic Control fuel systems; hydro-mechanical and electromechanical primary and secondary flight controls; and a broad spectrum of surface treatment options.

Aerospace Structures consists of the Company’s operations that supply commercial, business, regional and military manufacturers with large metallic and composite structures. Products include wings, wing boxes, fuselage panels, horizontal and vertical tails and sub-assemblies such as floor grids. Inclusive of most of the former Vought Aircraft Division, Aerospace Structures also has the capability to engineer detailed structural designs in metal and composites.

Precision Components consists of the Company’s operations that produce close-tolerance parts primarily to customer designs and model-based definition, including a wide range of aluminum, hard metal and composite structure capabilities. Capabilities include complex machining, gear manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, forming, advanced composite and interior structures, joining processes such as welding, autoclave bonding and conventional mechanical fasteners and a variety of special processes including: super plastic titanium forming, aluminum and titanium chemical milling and surface treatments.

Product Support consists of the Company’s operations that provide full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional and military aircraft. The Company’s extensive product and service offerings include full post-delivery value chain services that simplify the MRO supply chain. Through its line maintenance, component MRO and postproduction supply chain activities, Product Support is positioned to provide integrated planeside repair solutions globally. Capabilities include fuel tank repair, metallic and composite aircraft structures, nacelles, thrust reversers, interiors, auxiliary power units and a wide variety of pneumatic, hydraulic, fuel and mechanical accessories.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses (less depreciation and amortization) identifiable with that segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs and any other costs not identifiable with one of the Company’s segments, including a loss on divestiture of $19,124 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.

13.	SELECTED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PARENT, GUARANTORS AND NON-GUARANTORS

The 2021 Notes and the 2022 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The total assets, stockholders' equity, revenue, earnings and cash flows from operating activities of the Guarantor Subsidiaries exceeded a majority of the consolidated total of such items as of and for the periods reported. The only consolidated subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors of the 2021 Notes and the 2022 Notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) are: (a) the receivables securitization special-purpose entity; and (b) the foreign operating subsidiaries. The following tables present condensed consolidating financial statements including the Company (the “Parent”), the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Such financial statements include summary Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, Condensed Consolidating Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On December 22, 2016, Triumph Aerostructures, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Triumph Aerostructures”), initiated litigation against Bombardier Inc. (“Bombardier”), a customer of Triumph Aerostructures, in the Quebec Superior Court, District of Montreal. The lawsuit relates to Bombardier’s failure to pay to Triumph Aerostructures certain non-recurring expenses incurred by Triumph Aerostructures during the development phase of a program pursuant to which Triumph Aerostructures agreed to design, manufacture, and supply the wing and related components for Bombardier’s Global 7000 business aircraft. The lawsuit seeks a monetary award of approximately US $340,000 (or CAD $455,000) resulting from Bombardier directed changes to the original wing requirements for the Global 7000 program, as well as Bombardier’s, delays, disruptions, acceleration and interference in connection with its contract with Triumph Aerostructures. In the meantime, Triumph Aerostructures continues to support the Global 7000 program and to seek a resolution of its disputes.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in disputes, claims and lawsuits with employees, suppliers and customers, as well as governmental and regulatory inquiries, that it deems to be immaterial. Some may involve claims or potential claims of substantial damages, fines, penalties or injunctive relief. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending or future litigation or proceeding and no assurances can be given, the Company does not believe that any pending matter will have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on its financial position or results of operations.

15. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Fiscal 2016 Restructuring

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company committed to a restructuring of certain of its businesses as well as the consolidation of certain of its facilities ("2016 Restructuring Plan"). The Company expects to reduce its footprint by approximately 3.5 million square feet and to reduce head count by 1,200 employees. Over the next few fiscal years, the Company estimates that it will record aggregate pre-tax charges of $150,000 to $160,000 related to these programs, which represent employee termination benefits, contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation and facility closure and other exit costs, and will result in future cash outlays. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded charges of $14,132 related to this program including, accelerated depreciation of $3,065 and severance of $551. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded charges of $38,476 related to this program including, accelerated depreciation of $10,296 and severance of $1,649.

The following table provides a summary of the Company's current aggregate cost estimates by major type of expense associated with the 2016 Restructuring Plan:



Type of expense:	Total estimated amount expected to be incurred
Termination benefits	$	26,000
Facility closure and other exit costs (1)	40,000
Contract termination costs	25,000
Accelerated depreciation charges (2)	34,000
Other (3)	30,000
	$	155,000

(1) Includes costs to transfer product lines among facilities and outplacement and employee relocation costs.

(2) Accelerated depreciation charges are recorded as part of Depreciation and amortization on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

(3) Consists of other costs directly related to the plan, including project management, legal and regulatory costs.

(The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.)

OVERVIEW

We are a major supplier to the aerospace industry and have four operating segments: (i) Integrated Systems, whose companies’ revenues are derived from integrated solutions including design, development and support of proprietary components, subsystems and systems, as well as production of complex assemblies using external designs; (ii) Aerospace Structures, whose companies supply commercial, business, regional and military manufacturers with large metallic and composite structures; (iii) Precision Components, whose companies produce close-tolerance parts primarily to customer designs and model-based definition, including a wide range of aluminum, hard metal and composite structure capabilities; and (iv) Product Support, whose companies provide full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional and military aircraft.

In December 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest Triumph Air Repair, the Auxiliary Power Unit Overhaul Operations of Triumph Aviations Services - Asia, Ltd. and Triumph Engines - Tempe ("Engines and APU"). As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $14,350 on the expected sale which is presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as "Loss on divestiture." For financial statement purposes, the assets and liabilities of these business have been segregated from those of the continuing operations and are presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities related to assets held for sale", respectively. The operating results of Engines and APU will be included in Product Support through the date of disposal. The transaction is expected to close in stages by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.

In September 2016, the Company sold all of the shares of Triumph Aerospace Systems-Newport News, Inc. ("TAS-Newport News) for total cash proceeds of $9,000. As a result of the sale of TAS-Newport News, the Company recognized a loss of $4,774, which is included in Corporate. The operating results of TAS-Newport News were included in Integrated Systems through the date of disposal.

Highlights for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 included:


•	Net sales for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 were $844.9 million, compared to $913.9 million for the prior year period.


•	Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $55.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $(126.3) million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016.


•	Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $29.3 million, compared to a net loss of $(88.6) million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016.


•	Backlog as of December 31, 2016 was $3.96 billion. Of our existing backlog of $3.96 billion, we estimate that approximately $1.78 billion will not be shipped by December 31, 2017.


•	Net income (loss) for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $0.59 per diluted common share, as compared to $(1.80) per diluted share in the prior year period.


•	We used $172.7 million of cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to cash used in operations of $174.7 million in the comparable prior year period.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company committed to a restructuring of certain of its businesses as well as the consolidation of certain of its facilities (the "2016 Restructuring Plan"). The Company expects to reduce its footprint by approximately 3.5 million square feet and to reduce head count by 1,200 employees. Over the next few fiscal years, the Company estimates that it will record aggregate pre-tax charges of $150.0 million to $160.0 million related to these programs, which represent employee termination benefits, contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation and facility closure and other exit costs, and will result in future cash outlays. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded charges of $38.5 million related to this program, including accelerated depreciation of $10.3 million and severance of $1.6 million.

We are currently performing work on several new programs, which are in various stages of development. Several of the these programs are expected to enter flight testing during our fiscal 2018, including the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 ("Bombardier"), and Embraer second generation E-Jet ("E2-Jets") and we expect to deliver revenue generating production units for these programs in late fiscal 2017 or early fiscal 2018. Historically, low-rate production commences during flight testing, followed by an increase to full-rate production, assuming that successful testing and certification are achieved. Accordingly, we anticipate that each of these programs will begin generating full-rate production level revenues between fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2021. We are still in the early development stages for the Gulfstream G500/G600 programs, as these aircraft are not expected to enter service until fiscal 2019. Transition of each of these programs from development to recurring production levels is dependent upon the success of each program at achieving flight testing and certification, as well as the ability of the OEM to generate acceptable levels of aircraft sales.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we incurred approximately $165.4 million in capitalized pre-production costs associated with the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 and the Embraer second generation E-Jet programs, for which we have not yet begun deliveries. We expect to incur additional costs related to these programs as they continue to develop. Inventory costs are evaluated for recoverability through their inclusion in the total costs used in the calculation of each contract's estimated profit margin. When the estimated total contract costs exceed total estimated contract revenues, an inventory reserve is established. We may incur additional costs related to these programs if there are further delays due to our customer or our capability to execute timely.

Fiscal 2016 was a challenging year for certain of our new programs. While work progressed on these development programs, we experienced difficulties in achieving estimated cost targets particularly in the areas of engineering and estimated recurring costs. We recorded a $399.8 million forward loss on our Bombardier wing contract in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2016. The Bombardier contract provides for fixed pricing and requires us to fund certain up-front development expenses, with certain milestone payments made by Bombardier.

The Bombardier program charge resulted in the impairment of previously capitalized pre-production costs due to the combination of cost recovery uncertainty, higher than anticipated non-recurring costs and increased forecasted costs on recurring production. The increases in costs were driven by several factors, including: changing technical requirements, increased spending on the design and engineering phase of the program and uncertainty regarding cost reduction and cost recovery initiatives with our customer and suppliers.

The program has continued to incur costs since March 2016 in support of development and transition to production and the Company is in commercial discussions with Bombardier regarding recovery of those costs.

On December 22, 2016, Triumph Aerostructures, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Triumph Aerostructures”), initiated litigation against Bombardier Inc. (“Bombardier”), a customer of Triumph Aerostructures, in the Quebec Superior Court, District of Montreal. The lawsuit relates to Bombardier’s failure to pay to Triumph Aerostructures certain non-recurring expenses incurred by Triumph Aerostructures during the development phase of a program pursuant to which Triumph Aerostructures agreed to design, manufacture, and supply the wing and related components for Bombardier’s Global 7000 business aircraft. The lawsuit seeks a monetary award of approximately US $340.0 million (or CAD $455.0 million) resulting from Bombardier directed changes to the original wing requirements for the Global 7000 program, as well as Bombardier’s, delays, disruptions, acceleration and interference in connection with its contract with Triumph Aerostructures. In the meantime, Triumph Aerostructures continues to support the Global 7000 program and to seek a resolution of its disputes.

Further cost increases or an inability to meet revised recurring cost forecasts, or an inability to reach a favorable resolution of cost recovery on the Bombardier program will likely result in additional forward loss reserves in future periods, while improvements in future costs compared to current estimates or additional cost recovery may result in favorable adjustments if forward loss reserves are no longer required.

Under our contract with Embraer, we have the exclusive right to design, develop and manufacture the center fuselage section III, rear fuselage section and various tail section components (rudder and elevator) for the E2-Jets over the initial 600 ship sets. The contract provides for funding on a fixed amount of non-recurring costs, which will be paid over a specified number of production units. Higher than expected spending on the E2-Jets program has resulted in a low single digit estimated profit margin percentage, with additional potential future cost pressures as well as opportunities for improved performance. While we still estimate positive margins for this contract, risks related to additional engineering as well as the recurring cost profile remains as this program enters flight testing.

We seek additional consideration for customer work statement changes throughout the development process as a standard course of business. The ability to recover or negotiate additional consideration is not certain and varies by contract. Varying market conditions for these products may also impact future profitability.

Although none of these new programs individually are expected to have a material impact on our net revenues, they do have the potential, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially and negatively impact our consolidated results of operations if future changes in estimates result in the need for a forward loss provision. Absent any such loss provisions, we do not anticipate that any of these new programs will significantly dilute our future consolidated margins.

In January 2016, Boeing announced a rate reduction to the 747-8 program, which lowers production to one plane every two months. We assessed the impact of the rate reduction and recorded an additional $161.4 million forward loss during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. Subsequently, in July 2016, Boeing announced that it was reasonably possible that they could end production on the 747-8 program if the demand for the program did not improve. If this were to occur, we could potentially claw-back a portion of the aforementioned forward loss. Additional costs associated with exiting the facilities where the 747-8 program is manufactured, such as asset impairment, supplier and lease termination charges, as well as severance and retention payments to employees and contractors have been included in the 2016 Restructuring Plan.

As previously disclosed, we recognized a provision for forward losses associated with our long-term contract on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. There is still risk similar to what we have experienced on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. Particularly, our ability to manage risks related to supplier performance, execution of cost reduction strategies, hiring and retaining skilled production and management personnel, quality and manufacturing execution, program schedule delays, potential need to negotiate facility lease extensions or alternatively relocate work and many other risks, will determine the ultimate performance of these long-term programs.

Recognition of additional forward losses in the future periods continues to be a risk and will depend upon several factors, including the impact of the above discussed production rate change, our ability to successfully perform under current design and manufacturing plans, achievement of forecasted cost reductions as we continue production and our ability to successfully resolve claims and assertions with our customers and suppliers.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we settled the strike and agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement with our union employees with IAM District 751 at our Spokane, Washington facility which had expired during the quarter, resulting in a charge of $15.7 million. Our union employees with UAW Local 848 at our Red Oak, Texas facility and UAW Local 952 at our Tulsa, Oklahoma facility are currently working without a contract. If we are unable to negotiate a contract with each of those workforces, our operations may be disrupted and we may be prevented from completing production and delivery of products from those facilities, which would negatively impact our results. Contingency plans have been developed that would allow production to continue in the event of an additional strike.

Effective October 21, 2015, the Company acquired the ownership of all of the outstanding shares of Fairchild Controls Corporation ("Fairchild"). Fairchild is a leading provider of proprietary thermal management systems, auxiliary power generation systems and related aftermarket spares and repairs. The acquired business operates as Triumph Thermal Systems-Maryland, Inc. and its results are included in Integrated Systems from the date of acquisition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following includes a discussion of our consolidated and business segment results of operations. The Company's diverse structure and customer base do not allow for precise comparisons of the impact of price and volume changes to our results. However, we have disclosed the significant variances between the respective periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare and publicly release quarterly unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") guidance on Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, we also disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures in our public releases. Currently, the non-GAAP financial measure that we disclose is Adjusted EBITDA, which is our income from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, amortization of acquired contract liabilities, curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives, legal settlements and depreciation and amortization. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA 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

Table Of Contents

(continued)

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 to our previously reported results of operations.

We view Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure and, as such, we believe that the U.S. GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is income from continuing operations. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude from income 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 is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net income (loss), income 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 as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure, including net income (loss) or income from continuing operations. In addition, we urge investors and potential investors in our securities to carefully review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income 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 GAAP financial information with our Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is 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 from continuing operations has included significant charges for depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes these charges and provides meaningful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from charges for depreciation and amortization. We believe the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our performance from quarter to quarter and from year to year. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of our ongoing operating performance because the isolation of non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, and non-operating items, such as interest and income taxes, 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 to provide a financial measure 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 from continuing operations to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and the material limitations associated with using this non-GAAP financial measure as compared to income from continuing operations:


•	Divestitures may be useful for investors to consider because they reflect gains or losses from sale of operating units. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.


•	Legal settlements 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.

•

Curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives may be useful for investors to consider because they represent the current period impact of the change in the defined benefit obligation due to the reduction in future service costs as well as the incremental cost of retirement incentive benefits paid to participants. 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 non-cash 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 (including intangible asset impairments) may be useful for investors to consider because it represents the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of product rights and licenses. We do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash charges related to our operating cost structure.

(continued)


•	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.


•	The amount of interest expense and other 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 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 only to supplement our U.S. GAAP results and to provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.

Net sales decreased by $69.0 million, or 7.6%, to $844.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, from $913.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Organic sales decreased $65.7 million, or 7.2%. The previously divested TAS - Newport News offset by the acquisition of Fairchild contributed $3.3 million in net sales to the comparative prior year period. Organic sales declined primarily due to production rate reductions by our customers on the 747-8, Gulfstream G450/550 and C-17 programs. Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2016, included $5.6 million in total non-recurring revenues, as compared to $3.5 million in non-recurring revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

Cost of sales decreased $38.6 million, or 5.6%, to $653.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, from $691.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Organic cost of sales decreased $29.8 million, or 4.0%. The previously divested TAS - Newport News offset by the acquisition of Fairchild contributed $8.2 million to cost of sales in the comparative prior year period. Organic cost of sales decreased due to the decrease in organic sales mentioned above and changes in sales mix. The comparable organic gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was 21.7%, as compared to 23.2 %.

Gross margin included net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on long-term contracts of $2.1 million. The cumulative catch-up adjustments to gross margin included gross favorable adjustments ($9.7 million) and gross unfavorable adjustments ($7.5 million). The cumulative catch-up adjustments for the three months ended December 31, 2016, was the result of increased unit pricing related to production rate changes. Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2015 included net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments ($2.8 million).

Segment operating income increased by $215.2 million, or 123.4%, to $93.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, from $(122.1) million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Organic segment operating income increased $215.9 million. The previously divested TAS - Newport News offset by the acquisition of Fairchild contributed $0.7 million to operating income in the comparative prior year period. The three months ended December 31, 2015 included the non-cash impairment charge to the Vought tradename of $229.2 million, legal settlement of $10.5 million and settlement of a customer dispute of $1.9 million. Organic operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2016 included decreased organic gross margins as noted above and included costs related to the 2016 Restructuring Plan of $4.8 million.

Corporate expenses were $37.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in corporate expenses of $33.8 million, or 815.3%, was impacted by the 2016 Restructuring Plan charges of $6.2 million, increase in compensation accruals as compared to prior year period of $8.0 million, increased consulting of $3.7 million and the loss assets held for sale of $14.4 million.

Interest expense and other increased by $3.9 million, or 24.7%, to $19.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, due to increased debt levels.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was 17.3% compared to 37.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, we recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all of our net deferred tax assets given the insufficient positive evidence to support the realization of our deferred tax assets. We

(continued)

intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. A reduction in the valuation allowance could result in a significant decrease in income tax expense in the period that the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the reduction in our valuation allowance are unknown at this time and will be subject to the earnings level we achieve during fiscal 2017 as well as our projected income in future periods. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the income tax provision reflected the partial reversal of previously established valuation allowance related to the capital loss generated from the divestiture of TAS-Newport News. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the income tax provision included the benefit from the retroactive reinstatement of the R&D tax credit ($3,034). For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 18.0% with opportunity to be reduced further through the release of the valuation allowance that is discussed further in Note 8.

Business Segment Performance - Three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to three months ended December 31, 2015

Effective April 1, 2016, we realigned the way we report our financial performance based on the following four reportable segments: the Integrated Systems, the Aerospace Structures, the Precision Components and the Product Support. The results of operations among our operating segments vary due to differences in competitors, customers, extent of proprietary deliverables and performance. For example, our Integrated Systems, which generally includes proprietary products and/or arrangements where we become the primary source or one of a few primary sources to our customers, where our unique manufacturing capabilities command a higher margin. Also OEMs are increasingly focusing on assembly activities while outsourcing more manufacturing and repair to third parties, and as a result, are less of a competitive force than in previous years. This compares to our Aerospace Structures, which generally includes long-term sole-source or preferred supplier contracts and the success of these programs provides a strong foundation for our business and positions us well for future growth on new programs and new derivatives. In contrast, our Product Support provides MRO services on components and accessories manufactured by third parties, with more diverse competition, including airlines, OEMs and other third-party service providers. In addition, variability in the timing and extent of customer requests performed in the Product Support can provide for greater volatility and less predictability in revenue and earnings than that experienced in the Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures and Precision Components segments.

Product Support consists of the Company’s operations that provides full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional and military aircraft. The Company’s extensive product and service offerings include full post-delivery value chain services that simplify the MRO supply chain. Through its line maintenance, component MRO and postproduction supply chain activities, Product Support is positioned to provide integrated planeside repair solutions globally.

Organic sales decreased $12.5 million, or 4.8%. The previously divested TAS - Newport News offset by the acquisition of Fairchild contributed $3.3 million in net sales to the comparative prior year period. Organic sales declined primarily due to decreased demand in the rotocraft market and the spares aftermarket and were impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates primarily due to changes in the British pound sterling, approximately $5.7 million.

Integrated Systems cost of sales decreased by $11.6 million, or 6.4%, to $169.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, from $181.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Organic cost of sales decreased $3.4 million, or 2.1%. The previously divested TAS - Newport News offset by the acquisition of Fairchild contributed $8.2 million to cost of sales in the comparative prior year period. The organic cost of sales declined due to the decrease in net sales noted above. The comparable organic gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was 33.7% compared with 33.0%

for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The improvement in the organic gross margin is indicative of our efforts in cost reduction initiatives.

Integrated Systems operating income decreased by $0.7 million, or 1.4%, to $51.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, from $52.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Operating income decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2016, due to the decreased sales as noted above. The previously divested TAS - Newport News offset by the acquisition of Fairchild contributed $0.7 million to operating income in the comparative prior year period. The Adjusted EBITDA year over year is comparable to the prior year period.

Integrated Systems operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased to 20.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to 19.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, due to the increase in organic gross margins. The Adjusted EBITDA margin year over year is comparable to the prior year period.

Aerospace Structures: Aerospace Structures net sales decreased by $42.4 million, or 12.2%, to $304.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, from $346.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Sales decreased primarily due to production rate reductions by our customers on the 747-8, Gulfstream G450/550 programs and partially offset by rate increases on 767/Tanker program. Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2016 included $5.6 million in total non-recurring revenues, as compared to $3.5 million in total non-recurring revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

Aerospace Structures cost of sales decreased by $35.4 million, or 12.2%, to $254.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, from $290.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

The cumulative catch-up adjustments to gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2016 included gross favorable adjustments ($9.7 million) and gross unfavorable adjustments ($7.5 million). The cumulative catch-up adjustments for the three months ended December 31, 2016, was the result of increased unit pricing related to production rate changes. Segment cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2015 included net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments ($2.8 million).

Aerospace Structures operating income increased by $234.8 million, or 111.3%, to $23.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, from $(210.9) million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Operating income increased for the three months ended December 31, 2016, since the prior year period included the non-cash impairment charge to the Vought tradename of $229.2 million and a legal settlement of $10.5 million, partially offset by the decreased sales as noted above for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Additionally, amortization increased ($1.9 million) due to the amortization of the Vought tradename. The Adjusted EBITDA year over year is comparable to the prior year period.

Aerospace Structures operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased to 7.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to (60.9)% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, due to the increase in operating income as noted above.

losses in the current year and the effect of the strike, the comparable organic gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was 21.7%, as compared to 22.9%.

Gross margin included net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on long-term contracts ($6.3 million). The cumulative catch-up adjustments to gross margin included gross favorable adjustments ($50.2 million) and gross unfavorable adjustments ($56.5 million). The cumulative catch-up adjustments for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 were mainly due to forward losses and includes the correction of an immaterial error in the amount of $12.7 million, offset by the reduction to the previously recognized forward losses on the 747-8 program of $41.3 million. Gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 included net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments ($13.8 million).

Segment operating income increased by $126.0 million, or 475.8%, to $253.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from $127.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Organic segment operating income increased $125.2 million, or 100.6%. The acquisition of Fairchild offset by the previously divested TAS - Newport News contributed $0.8 million to operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Organic operating income for the nine months December 31, 2016 increased since the comparative prior year period included the non-cash impairment charge of $229.2 million and legal settlements of $12.4 million, partially offset by the decrease in the gross margins as noted above and costs related to the 2016 Restructuring Plan charges of $12.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.

Corporate expenses were $81.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $35.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in corporate expenses of $45.3 million, or 126.3%, was due to the 2016 Restructuring Plan charges of $15.8 million, increase in compensation accruals as compared to the prior year period of $7.1 million, and the loss on divestiture and assets held for sale of $19.1 million in the current year.

Interest expense and other increased by $6.2 million, or 12.5%, to $55.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $49.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, due to increased debt levels.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was 28.1% compared to 15.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, we recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all of our net deferred tax assets given the insufficient positive evidence to support the realization of our deferred tax assets. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. A reduction in the valuation allowance could result in a significant decrease in income tax expense in the period that the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the reduction in our valuation allowance are unknown at this time and will be subject to the earnings level we achieve during fiscal 2017 as well as our projected income in future periods. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the income tax provision included the disallowed tax benefit of $1,277 related to the capital loss generated from the divestiture of TAS-Newport News. For the nine months ended December 31, 2015, the income tax provision included the benefit of $4,213 from a decrease to the state deferred tax rate, the benefit of $421 related to the effects of transfer pricing adjustments carried back to prior periods and the benefit from the retroactive reinstatement of the R&D tax credit of $3,034. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 18.0% with opportunity to be reduced further through the release of the valuation allowance that is discussed further in Note 8.

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA year over year is due to the same factors that decreased operating income.

Integrated Systems operating income as a percentage of segment sales decreased to 19.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to 19.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The Adjusted EBITDA margin year over year is comparable to the prior year period.

Aerospace Structures: Aerospace Structures net sales decreased by $171.1 million, or 15.2%, to $956.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from $1.13 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Sales decreased primarily due to production rate reductions by our customers on the 747-8, Gulfstream G450/550, C-17 programs and partially offset by rate increases on 767/Tanker program. Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 included $15.9 million in total non-recurring revenues, as compared to $17.7 million in total non-recurring revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

Aerospace Structures cost of sales decreased by $122.0 million, or 12.9%, to $820.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from $942.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The cost of sales were negatively impacted by the decreased sales as noted above and by a provision for forward losses of $38.6 million mainly on the UAS and A350 programs, offset by the reduction to the previously recognized forward losses on the 747-8 program of $41.3 million. The cost of sales also include the correction of an immaterial error in the amount of $12.7 million recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The comparable gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was 17.7% compared with 16.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

Aerospace Structures cost of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 included net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments ($6.3 million). The cumulative catch-up adjustments to gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 included gross favorable adjustments ($50.2 million) and gross unfavorable adjustments ($56.5 million). The cumulative catch-up adjustments for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, were mainly due to forward losses, the reduction to the previously recognized forward losses on the 747-8 program and correction of error mentioned above. Segment cost of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 included net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments ($13.8 million).

Aerospace Structures operating income increased by $190.4 million, or 143.7%, to $57.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from an operating loss of $(132.5) million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Operating income increased for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, since the prior year period included the non-cash impairment charge to the Vought tradename of $229.2 million and a legal settlement of $10.5 million, partially offset by the decreased sales and forward losses included in cost of sales noted above. Additionally, amortization increased ($3.8 million) due to the amortization of the Vought tradename. The Adjusted EBITDA year over year decreased since the prior year included the non-cash impairment charge and the legal settlement as noted above.

Aerospace Structures operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased to 6.1% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to (11.8)% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, due to the increase in operating income as noted above. These same factors noted above affecting the Adjusted EBIDA contributed to the increased Adjusted EBITDA margin year over year.

Precision Components: Precision Components net sales decreased by $40.9 million, or 5.2%, to $740.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from $781.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The decline in sales was primarily driven by production rate reductions on Boeing Commercial and Gulfstream G450/550 and price reductions due to changes in model mix, partially offset by increased production rates on the A350 program.

Precision Components cost of sales increased by $22.0 million, or 3.5%, to $644.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from $622.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The cost of sales increased due to the strike at our Spokane, Washington facility ($15.7 million), start-up costs related to the A350 and other new programs, a provision for forward losses of $5.0 million on an engine program, and changes in sales mix. Gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was 13.0%, compared with 20.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

Precision Components operating income decreased by $67.2 million, or 90.3%, to $7.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from $74.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Operating income decreased due to the decreased sales and the increased cost of sales as noted above. These same factors contributed to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA year over year.

Precision Components operating income as a percentage of segment sales decreased to 1.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to 9.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, due to the sales and cost of sales factors as noted above. These same factors contributed to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin year over year.

Product Support: Product Support net sales increased by $30.7 million, or 13.5%, to $257.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from $226.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Sales increased due to key wins with regional jet and commercial operators for components and accessories.

Product Support cost of sales increased by $23.0 million, or 14.1%, to $186.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from $163.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Cost of sales increased due to the increased sales noted above. Gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was 27.4% compared to 27.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

Product Support operating income increased by $11.5 million, or 36.4%, to $43.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, from $31.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Operating income increased due to sales factors as noted above and the prior year period included an increase to the bad debt reserve resulting from an international customer's declaration of bankruptcy ($1.1 million). These same factors contributed to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA year over year.

Product Support operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased to 16.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to 13.9% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, due to the increased sales noted above. These same factors contributed to the increased Adjusted EBITDA margin year over year.

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 months ended December 31, 2016, we used approximately $172.7 million of cash flows from operating activities, used approximately $9.9 million in investing activities and received approximately $198.6 million in financing activities.

Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 were $172.7 million, compared to cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 of $174.7 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was primarily due the timing of payments on accounts payable and other accrued expenses ($211.5 million) driven by pre-production costs, net spending on the G280 and G650 Programs discussed below and a $5.5 million payment related to a previously resolved legal settlement offset by increased receipts from customers ($206.6 million), as defined below.

We continue to invest in inventory for new programs which impacts our cash flows from operating activities. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, inventory build for capitalized pre-production costs on new programs excluding progress payments, including the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 program and the Embraer E-Jet, were $142.6 million and $22.8 million, respectively. Net spending on the G280 and G650 Programs for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was approximately $68.8 million. Additionally, the utilization of production inventory build, including build ahead on several programs subject to relocation, was approximately $7.4 million. Unliquidated progress payments netted against inventory decreased $13.8 million, primarily due to timing of receipts.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 decreased $105.6 million from the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, included capital expenditures ($33.1 million). Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, included the acquisition of Fairchild ($57.0 million) a payment to settle a working capital adjustment related to the GE acquisition ($6.0 million) and capital expenditures ($63.4 million).

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 were $198.6 million, compared to cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 of $298.7 million. Cash flows

provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, included additional borrowings on our Credit Facility (as defined below) to fund operations.

As of December 31, 2016, $248.8 million was available under our revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) after consideration of covenant limitations. On December 31, 2016, an aggregate amount of approximately $456.1 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, all of which was accruing interest at LIBOR plus applicable basis points totaling 2.0% per annum. Amounts repaid under the Credit Facility may be reborrowed.

At December 31, 2016, there was $140.3 million outstanding under our receivable securitization facility ("Securitization Facility"). Interest rates on the Securitization Facility are based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper, plus a program fee and a commitment fee. The Securitization Facility is classified within the current portion of long term debt on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016. The Securitization Facility's net availability is not impacted by the borrowing capacity of the Credit Facility.

In October 2016, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among the Company, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent (the “Seventh Amendment” and the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Seventh Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). Specifically, the Existing Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) modify certain financial covenants to allow for the add-back of certain cash and non-cash charges, (ii) increase the maximum permitted total leverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio financial covenants commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2017, (iii) permit the sale of certain specified assets so long as the Company applies 65% of the net proceeds received from such sales to the outstanding term loan, pro rata across all maturities, (iv) establish a new higher pricing tier for the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing provisions, (v) increase the interest rate and letter of credit fee pricing provisions for several of the lower tiers of the pricing grid, (vi) establish the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing at the highest pricing tier until the Company delivers its compliance certificate for its fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017, and (vii) extend the period during which the increased minimum revolver availability threshold test and the decreased maximum senior secured leverage ratio threshold test are in effect in connection with the Company making certain permitted investments, certain additional permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of certain types of indebtedness to the date the Company delivers its compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017.

On March 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement") to sell certain accounts receivables to a financial institution without recourse. The Company is the servicer of the accounts receivable under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. As of March 31, 2016, the maximum amount available under the Receivables Purchase Agreement was $90.0 million. Interest rates are based on LIBOR plus 0.65% - 0.70%. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the Company sold $88.7 million and $89.9 million, respectively, worth of eligible accounts receivable.

In May 2016, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among the Company, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent (the “Sixth Amendment” and the Credit Facility, as amended by the Sixth Amendment, the “Credit Facility”), pursuant to which those lenders electing to enter into the Sixth Amendment extended the expiration date for the revolving line of credit and the maturity date for the term loan by five years to May 3, 2021. Lenders holding revolving credit commitments aggregating $940.0 million elected to extend the expiration date for the revolving line of credit, and Lenders holding approximately $324.5 million of term loans (out of an aggregate outstanding term loan balance of approximately $330.0 million) elected to extend the term loan maturity date.

In addition, the Sixth Amendment amended the Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) modify certain financial covenants to allow for the add-back of certain cash and non-cash charges, (ii) amend the total leverage ratio financial covenant to provide for a gradual reduction in the maximum permitted total leverage ratio commencing with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, (iii) increase the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing provisions for the highest pricing tier, (iv) establish the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing at the highest pricing tier until the Company delivers its compliance certificate for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, (v) increase the minimum revolver availability threshold test in connection with the Company making certain permitted investments, certain additional permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of certain types of indebtedness, and (vi) decrease the maximum senior secured leverage ratio threshold test in connection with the Company making certain permitted investments, certain permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of certain types of indebtedness during the period from the date of the Sixth Amendment until the Company delivers its compliance certificate for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.

(continued)

The Company is currently in compliance with all such covenants. Although the Company does not anticipate any violations of the financial covenants, its ability to comply with these covenants is dependent upon achieving earnings and cash flow projections.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, to ensure that the Company had full access to our the Credit Facility during fiscal 2017, the Company obtained approval from the holders of the 2021 Notes to amend the terms of the indenture to conform with the 2022 Notes which allows for a higher level of secured debt. Absent this consent, the Company would have been restricted as to the level of new borrowings under the Credit Facility during fiscal 2017.

The expected future cash flows for the next five years for long-term debt, leases and other obligations are as follows:



	Payments Due by Period (in thousands)
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		More than 5 years
Debt principal (1)	$	1,670,873	$	187,731	$	100,513	$	1,072,449	$	310,180
Debt interest (2)	238,055		47,591		93,796		75,105		21,563
Operating leases	156,603		28,201		45,332		30,617		52,453
Purchase obligations	1,582,750		1,076,202		482,054		23,679		815
Total	$	3,648,281	$	1,339,725	$	721,695	$	1,201,850	$	385,011

(1) Included in the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2016.

(2) Includes fixed-rate interest only.

The above table excludes unrecognized tax benefits of $9.9 million as of December 31, 2016, since we cannot predict with reasonable certainty the timing of cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities.

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Company is not required to make minimum contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans under the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

We believe that cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for our current operations for the foreseeable future. However, we are continuously evaluating various acquisition and divestiture 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to our future operations and prospects, including statements that are based on current projections and expectations about the markets in which we operate, and our beliefs concerning future performance and capital requirements based upon current available information. Such statements are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. When used in this document, words like “may,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “potential,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from our current expectations. For example, there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be required or that additional capital, if required, will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, at such times and in such amounts as may be needed by us. In addition to these factors, among other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are uncertainties relating to the integration of acquired businesses, general economic conditions affecting our business, dependence of certain of our businesses on certain key customers as well as competitive factors relating to the aviation industry. For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors affecting us, see the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on May 27, 2016.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. There has been no material change in this information during the period covered by this report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of December 31, 2016, we completed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2016.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On December 22, 2016, Triumph Aerostructures, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Triumph Aerostructures”), initiated litigation against Bombardier Inc. (“Bombardier”), a customer of Triumph Aerostructures, in the Quebec Superior Court, District of Montreal. The lawsuit relates to Bombardier’s failure to pay to Triumph Aerostructures certain non-recurring expenses incurred by Triumph Aerostructures during the development phase of a program pursuant to which Triumph Aerostructures agreed to design, manufacture, and supply the wing and related components for Bombardier’s Global 7000 business aircraft. The lawsuit seeks a monetary award of approximately US $340.0 million (or CAD $455.0 million) resulting from Bombardier directed changes to the original wing requirements for the Global 7000 program, as well as Bombardier’s, delays, disruptions, acceleration and interference in connection with its contract with Triumph Aerostructures. In the meantime, Triumph Aerostructures continues to support the Global 7000 program and to seek a resolution of its disputes.
