"Building off our positive momentum from fiscal 2023, TRIUMPH generated its fifth consecutive quarter of organic sales growth driven by continued strong commercial aftermarket and improving OEM demand," said Dan Crowley, TRIUMPH's chairman, president, and chief executive officer. "Free cash use was in line with our expectations and was impacted by seasonality due to increased working capital necessary to support higher deliveries. We continue to expect free cash flow to improve over the course of the year. With a growing and profitable backlog, TRIUMPH is well positioned to continue to grow organically and improve profitability, while also benefitting from the positive trends across our end markets."

Mr. Crowley continued, "As TRIUMPH continues to focus on deleveraging and optimizing its capital structure, the company recently completed the successful redemption of its warrants, increasing cash by $85 million and reducing debt by $14 million. TRIUMPH remains on track to deliver profitable growth and achieve its full year guidance as the Company is executing on its financial and operational goals."

Note> Aftermarket sales include both repair & overhaul services and spare parts sales.

Excluding impacts from divestitures and exited or sunsetting programs, organic Commercial OEM sales increased $8.7 million, or 8.1% and included increased production volumes on Boeing 787 and 737 programs, offset by reductions across other commercial rotorcraft programs.

Military OEM sales increased $8.8 million, or 15.5%, all of which were organic, primarily due to increased sales related to the CH-53K, V-22, and UH-60 programs.

Commercial Aftermarket sales increased $24.5 million, or 38.7%. Excluding impacts from divestitures, organic Commercial Aftermarket sales increased $25.9 million, or 42.5%, driven by the continued improvement in overall air travel metrics, favorably impacting both repair and overhaul services and spare part sales on an equal basis.

Military aftermarket sales decreased $3.3 million, or 6.6%, all of which was organic, driven by reduced sales across several fixed wing platforms and reduced spares on rotorcraft platforms relative to the prior year, partially offset by increased repairs on rotorcraft platforms.

First quarter operating income of $18.7 million includes $1.9 million of shareholder cooperation costs and a $3.8 million reduction of the prior period gain on sale of assets and businesses. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was ($12.8) million or ($0.19) per share and includes $0.1 million in debt extinguishment losses.

The number of shares used in computing loss per share for the first quarter of 2024 was 66.3 million.

Backlog, which represents the next 24 months of actual purchase orders with firm delivery dates or contract requirements, was $1.74 billion, up 10% from prior fiscal year end. This increase was primarily on commercial narrow body platforms.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, cash flow used in operations was $63.7 million, which was in line with expectations previously provided and reflects seasonality due to increased working capital to support higher fiscal 2024 deliveries.

Potential Adjustments

We are currently evaluating the final accounting and process around the working capital components of recent legacy Aerospace Structures divestitures and related transition services agreements, which could result in non-cash adjustments to reported amounts, including gain or loss on sale of assets and businesses. At this time, we do not anticipate that potential adjustments would be material to the reported periods. We plan to provide an update upon completion of this evaluation process. These potential adjustments do not relate to previously disclosed indemnification claims related to the sale of the Stuart facility, which have been resolved in part at this time.
