"Triumph Group's fourth quarter capped off a year of significant progress for our Company as we delivered on key transformation objectives, including de-risking the portfolio and meeting net sales, earnings per share and positive free cash flow targets," stated Daniel J. Crowley, Triumph's president and chief executive officer. "Our core Integrated Systems and Product Support segments achieved year-over-year organic growth for the fifth consecutive quarter and continued to generate solid operating margins. Further, our Aerospace Structures segment delivered year-over-year margin expansion, reflecting the impact of core program performance and strategic divestitures."

Mr. Crowley continued, "Losses in the quarter were primarily attributed to Path to value actions in our Structures business which included the completion of our Machining and Fabrication divestitures, the assignment of the E2 contract to ASTK and the transition of our G280 wing manufacturing activities to IAI.   These recent actions, along with our prior divestitures, significant cost reductions and operational improvement initiatives substantially complete our restructuring and position Triumph for the future."

Mr. Crowley concluded, "Moving into fiscal 2020, we now have an increased level of stability across our three business units and believe there is more room to enhance profitability through lean initiatives and smart portfolio optimization. We remain focused on delivering predictable profitability, continued positive free cash flow and increased value for our stockholders."

Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 Overview

After accounting for divestitures and the impact of the adoption of ASC 606, sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 were essentially flat organically from the comparable prior year period.  Increased shipments for narrow body programs such as the 737, 787 and A320, military platforms, aftermarket accessory services and development programs transitioning to production were offset by declines in business jet volumes.

Fourth quarter operating loss of ($189.2) million included a $217.5 million loss on divestitures, $12.9 million of restructuring costs, a forward loss charge of $26.5 million on the G280 program and a forward loss reduction of ($3.7) million on the E2 Jet program.  Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 was ($199.6) million, or ($4.01) per share.  On an adjusted basis, net income was $49.6 million, or $1.15 per diluted share.  Triumph's results included the following:

The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2019 was 50.0 million.

Backlog was $3.8 billion, up 4% organically compared to the prior year period and flat on a sequential basis reflecting increased selectivity in pursuing new awards based on projected profitability and cash flow, growth in our Integrated Systems business and the impact of divestitures in Aerospace Structures. 

For the three-months ended March 31, 2019, cash flow from operations was $18.8 million, reflecting approximately ($24.0) million of cash used on the Global 7500 program.     

Outlook

Based on anticipated aircraft production rates and including the impacts of pending program transfers, the Company expects that net sales for fiscal year 2020 will be approximately $2.8 to $2.9 billion.

The Company expects fiscal year 2020 earnings per share to be $2.35 to $2.95, per diluted share.

The Company expects fiscal year 2020 cash provided from operations of $50.0 to $110.0 million, and free cash flow of $0 to $50.0 million.

The Company's current outlook reflects adjustments detailed in the attached tables but excludes the impact of any potential future divestitures.
