RADNOR, PA — Triumph Group, Inc., a titan in the aerospace and defense industry, recently released its third quarter fiscal year 2024 financial results. The Pennsylvania-based corporation revealed encouraging developments that included organic sales growth of 13% and net sales reaching a robust $285 million.
Despite wider industry challenges, Triumph Group continues to stride forward. The company’s operating income stood at $19.7 million, marking an operating margin of 6.9%. Moreover, when adjusted, the operating income slightly improved to $19.8 million, with the adjusted operating margin remaining consistent.
However, the firm noted a net loss from continuing operations coming in at $11.9 million or $0.15 per share. An adjustment sees the net loss from continuing operations increase to $12.9 million, translating to $0.16 per share. Triumph’s Adjusted EBITDAP reached $27.7 million, with an Adjusted EBITDAP margin of 9.8%.
Looking ahead, Triumph Group has updated its fiscal 2024 guidance. It anticipates net sales ranging from $1.17 billion to $1.20 billion, reflecting an organic growth of 11-14%. The company forecasts operating income in a range of $100.0 million to $110.0 million, signifying an operating margin of 9%.
The forthcoming sale of its Product Support business is predicted to bolster Triumph’s balance sheet significantly. CEO, Dan Crowley, stated that the sale is set to close this quarter, promising a substantial boost towards the company’s deleveraging efforts.
Steered by the divestiture, the company is refocusing its cost structure to reach its multi-year profit margin and cash flow targets. Triumph is channeling its efforts into its OEM component, spares, and IP-based aftermarket business.
Despite facing industry-wide supply chain constraints which affected deliveries in the quarter, Triumph reflects buoyant performance with seven consecutive quarters of year-over-year organic sales growth. The company anticipates a robust fourth quarter, propelled by deferred deliveries, historical seasonality, improving mix, and incremental price improvements.
A key highlight is Triumph’s year-to-date book to bill rate of 1.34. This has uplifted the company’s backlog by 20% year over year reaching its highest level since March 2020.
In the next phases, Triumph aims to deliver top and bottom-line growth rates at or above the market, benefiting from a focus on OEM and related aftermarket product lines.
For shareholders and prospective investors, this promising performance and increased backlog demonstrate Triumph’s resilience and ability to adapt to market conditions. The company remains committed to executing its strategic initiatives, including investment in new technologies and products, expanding its global footprint, and pursuing targeted acquisitions.
Market watchers have also taken notice of Triumph’s impressive performance, with several analysts upgrading the company’s stock rating and target price. This is a testament to Triumph’s strong leadership team and their successful efforts in improving operational efficiencies and driving innovation.
As the aerospace and defense industry navigates challenging times, Triumph Group’s results offer a beacon of resilience and adaptability. With renewed focus and strategic recalibration, the company is poised to continue its upward trajectory and capitalize on expanding markets within the sector.
