Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Triumph Group, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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 six months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2013. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the fiscal 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012 filed in May 2012.

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.

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 - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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 towards 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.

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 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 Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts topic.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, cumulative catch-up adjustments from changes in estimates decreased operating income, net income and earnings per share by approximately $158, $100 and $0.00, respectively. The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 included gross favorable adjustments of approximately $15,115 and gross unfavorable adjustments of approximately $15,273. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, cumulative catch-up adjustments from changes in estimates decreased operating income, net income and earnings per share by approximately $(4,791), $(3,000) and $(0.06), respectively. The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2012 included gross favorable adjustments of approximately $14,989 and gross unfavorable adjustments of approximately $(19,780). For the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, cumulative catch-up adjustments from changes in estimates increased operating income, net income and earnings per share by approximately $7.3 million, $4.7 million and $0.09, 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.

Failure to anticipate technical problems, estimate delivery reductions, estimate costs accurately or control costs during performance of a fixed-price contract may reduce the profitability of a fixed-price contract or cause a loss. The Company believes that it has recognized adequate provisions in the financial statements for losses on fixed-price contracts, but cannot be certain that the contract loss provisions will be adequate to cover all actual future losses.

Included in net sales of the Aerostructures Group is the non-cash amortization of acquired contract liabilities recognized as fair value adjustments through purchase accounting of the acquisition of Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. ("Vought") on June 16, 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $6,563 and $5,770, respectively, into net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $13,555 and $13,510, respectively, into net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The Aftermarket Services Group provides repair and overhaul services, a small portion of which 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 The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) (representing commercial, military and space) represented approximately 41.2% and 37.1% of total trade accounts receivable as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The Company had no other concentrations of credit risk of more than 10%. Sales to Boeing for the six months ended September 30, 2012 were $899,302, or 49% of net sales, of which $847,982, $35,974 and $15,346 were from the Aerostructures segment, the Aerospace Systems segment and Aftermarket Services segment, respectively. Sales to Boeing for the six months ended September 30, 2011 were $745,957, or 46% of net sales, of which $702,331, $31,002 and $12,624 were from the Aerostructures segment, the Aerospace Systems segment and Aftermarket Services segment, 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, 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 September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1,631 and $1,199, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $3,162 and $2,397, 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 will issue new shares.

3.     ACQUISITIONS

Aviation Network Services, LLC

In October 2011, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Triumph Interiors, LLC, acquired the assets of Aviation Network Services, LLC ("ANS"), a leading provider of repair and refurbishment of aircraft interiors primarily for commercial airlines. ANS provides Triumph Interiors, LLC with additional capacity and expanded product offerings, such as the repair and refurbishment of passenger service units and other interior products. The results of Triumph Interiors, LLC are included in the Company's Aftermarket Services segment.

The purchase price for ANS of $9,180 included cash paid at closing and the estimated acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration. The estimated acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration relates to an earnout note contingent upon the achievement of certain earnings levels during the earnout period. The maximum amounts payable in respect of fiscal 2013, 2014 and 2015 are $1,100, $900 and $1,000, respectively. The estimated fair value of the earnout note at the acquisition date was $1,926, classified as a Level 3 liability in the fair value hierarchy. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired of $3,753 was recorded as goodwill. The Company has also identified intangible assets of $4,222 with a weighted-average life of 9.9 years. The Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

The following condensed balance sheet represents the amounts assigned to each major asset and liability caption in the aggregate for the acquisition of ANS:

	October 31, 2011
Trade and other receivables	$	625
Inventory	545
Prepaid expenses and other	12
Property and equipment	264
Goodwill	3,753
Intangible assets	4,222
Total assets	$	9,421
Accounts payable	$	79
Accrued expenses	44
Deferred income taxes	118
Other noncurrent liabilities	1,926
Total liabilities	$	2,167

The ANS acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The ANS acquisition was funded by the Company's long-term borrowings in place at the date of acquisition. The Company incurred $168 in acquisition-related costs in connection with the ANS acquisition.

4.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

In September 2007, the Company decided to sell Triumph Precision Castings Co., a casting facility in its Aftermarket Services segment that specializes in producing high-quality hot gas path components for aero and land-based gas turbines.

In July 2011, the Company completed the sale of Triumph Precision Castings Co. for proceeds of $3,902, plus contingent consideration, resulting in no gain or loss on the disposal.

Revenues of discontinued operations were $40 and $286 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011. The loss from discontinued operations was $76 and $765, net of income tax benefit $42 and $412 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011. Interest expense of $6 and $68 was allocated to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, based upon the actual borrowings of the operations, and such interest expense is included in the loss from discontinued operations.

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:

	September 30, 2012				March 31, 2012
Raw materials	$	64,271			$	53,103
Work-in-process, including manufactured and purchased components	920,467				887,686
Finished goods	45,555				41,617
Less: unliquidated progress payments	(138,940		)		(164,450		)
Total inventories	$	891,353			$	817,956

Work-in-process inventory includes capitalized pre-production costs. Capitalized pre-production costs include certain contract costs, including applicable overhead, incurred before a product is manufactured on a recurring 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 and the Company believes these amounts will be fully recovered. The balance of capitalized pre-production costs at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 was $36,555 and $19,385, respectively, related to the Bombardier wing program.

6.    LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consists of the following:

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 23, 2012, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with its lenders to (i) increase the availability under the Credit Facility to $1,000,000, with a $50,000 accordion feature, from $850,000, (ii) extend the maturity date to May 23, 2017, and (iii) amend certain other terms and covenants. In connection with the amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company incurred $2,066 of financing costs. These costs, along with the $6,955 of unamortized financing costs prior to the closing, are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.

On April 5, 2011, in connection with a prior amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, the Company extinguished its then-outstanding term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan”) at face value of $350,000, plus accrued interest. As a result, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $7,712 associated with the write-off of the remaining unamortized discount and deferred financing fees on the Term Loan included in Interest expense and other for the six months ended September 30, 2011.

The obligations under the Credit Facility and related documents are secured by liens on substantially all assets of the

6.    LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

Company and its domestic subsidiaries pursuant to a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2010, among the Company, and the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto. Such liens are pari passu to the liens securing the Company’s obligations under the Term Loan described below pursuant to an intercreditor agreement dated June 16, 2010 among the agents under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries that are borrowers and/or guarantors under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).

The Credit Facility bears interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus between 1.50% and 2.75%; (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 0.30% and 0.50% 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 September 30, 2012, there were $238,291 in borrowings and $31,002 in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility primarily to support insurance policies. At March 31, 2012, there were $320,000 in borrowings and $33,240 in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The level of unused borrowing capacity under 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. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had borrowing capacity under this facility of $730,707 after reductions for borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the facility.

Receivables Securitization Program

In June 2011, the Company amended its $175,000 receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”) extending the term through June 2014. 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 September 30, 2012, the Company had no availability under the Securitization Facility above the amount outstanding due to the level of receivables. Interest rates are based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper, plus a program fee and a commitment fee. The program fee is 0.55% on the amount outstanding under the Securitization Facility. Additionally, the commitment fee is 0.55% on 102.00% of the maximum amount available under the Securitization Facility. At September 30, 2012, there was $149,800 outstanding under the Securitization Facility. In connection with amending the Securitization Facility, the Company incurred approximately $351 of financing costs. These costs, along with the $831 of unamortized financing costs prior to the amendment, are being amortized over the life of the Securitization Facility. The Company securitizes 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 Accounting Standards Codification.

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

Equipment Leasing Facility and Other Capital Leases

During March 2009, the Company entered into a 7-year Master Lease Agreement (the “Leasing Facility”) creating a capital lease of certain existing property and equipment. The Leasing Facility bears interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 6.2% per annum.

During the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company entered into new capital leases in the amount of

6.    LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

$25 and $61, respectively, to finance a portion of the Company’s capital additions for the period. During the six months ended September 30, 2012, the Company obtained financing for existing fixed assets in the amount of $11,199.

Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2017

On November 16, 2009, the Company issued $175,000 principal amount of 8.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”).  The 2017 Notes were sold at 98.56% of principal amount and have an effective interest yield of 8.25%. Interest on the 2017 Notes is payable semiannually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. In connection with the issuance of the 2017 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $4,390 of costs, which were deferred and are being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the 2017 Notes.

The 2017 Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and rank subordinate to all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries (as defined below), including borrowings under the Credit Facility, and pari passu with the Company’s and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness. The 2017 Notes are guaranteed, on a full, joint and several basis, by each of the Company’s domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantees any of the Company’s debt or that of any of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries under the Credit Facility, and in the future by any domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee any of the Company’s debt or that of any of the Company’s domestic restricted subsidiaries incurred under any credit facility (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), in each case on a senior subordinated basis.  If the Company is unable to make payments on the 2017 Notes when they are due, each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries would be obligated to make such payments.

The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2017 Notes at any time prior to November 15, 2013 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes redeemed, plus an applicable premium set forth in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest, if any.  The 2017 Notes are also subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2013, at redemption prices equal to (i) 104% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes redeemed, if redeemed prior to November 15, 2014, (ii) 102% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes redeemed, if redeemed prior to November 15, 2015, and (iii) 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes redeemed, if redeemed thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest.  In addition, at any time prior to November 15, 2012, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes with the net cash proceeds of qualified equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, subject to certain limitations set forth in the indenture governing the 2017 Notes (the “2017 Indenture”).

Upon the occurrence of a change-of-control, the Company must offer to purchase the 2017 Notes from holders at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

The 2017 Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability, and the ability of any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, to (i) grant liens on its assets, (ii) make dividend payments, other distributions or other restricted payments, (iii) incur restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments, (iv) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (v) merge, consolidate, transfer or dispose of substantially all of their assets, (vi) incur additional indebtedness, (vii) use the proceeds from sales of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates. The Company is currently in compliance with all such covenants.

Senior Notes Due 2018

On June 16, 2010, in connection with the acquisition of Vought, the Company issued $350,000 principal amount of 8.63% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”). The 2018 Notes were sold at 99.27% of principal amount and have an effective interest yield of 8.75%. Interest on the 2018 Notes accrues at the rate of 8.63% per annum and is payable semiannually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. In connection with the issuance of the 2018 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $7,307 of costs, which were deferred and are being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the 2018 Notes.

The 2018 Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future subordinated

indebtedness. The 2018 Notes are guaranteed on a full, joint and several basis by each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The Company may redeem some or all of the 2018 Notes prior to July 15, 2014 by paying a “make-whole” premium. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2018 Notes on or after July 15, 2014 at specified redemption prices. In addition, prior to July 15, 2013, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 2018 Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.625% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, subject to certain limitations set forth in the indenture governing the 2018 Notes (the “2018 Indenture”).

The Company is obligated to offer to repurchase the 2018 Notes at a price of (a) 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as a result of certain change-of-control events and (b) 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in the event of certain asset sales. These restrictions and prohibitions are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.

The 2018 Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to (i) grant liens on its assets, (ii) make dividend payments, other distributions or other restricted payments, (iii) incur restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments, (iv) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (v) merge, consolidate, transfer or dispose of substantially all of their assets, (vi) incur additional indebtedness, (vii) use the proceeds from sales of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates. The Company is currently in compliance with all such covenants.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On September 18, 2006, the Company issued $201,250 in convertible senior subordinated notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the Company, and rank (i) junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness.

The Company received net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes of approximately $194,998 after deducting debt issuance expenses of approximately $6,252. The net proceeds from the sale were used for prepayment of the Company’s then outstanding senior notes, including a make-whole premium, fees and expenses in connection with the prepayment, and to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s then-existing credit facility. Debt issuance costs were fully amortized as of September 30, 2011.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.63% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1. During the period commencing on October 6, 2011 and ending on, but excluding, April 1, 2012 and for each six-month period from October 1 to March 31 or from April 1 to September 30 thereafter, the Company will pay contingent interest during the applicable interest period if the average trading price of a note for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant six-month period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The contingent interest payable per note in respect of any six-month period will equal 0.25% per annum, calculated on the average trading price of a note for the relevant five trading day period. The Company expects that this contingent interest will be payable beginning April 1, 2012 on principal that remains outstanding. This contingent interest feature represents an embedded derivative. The value of the derivative was not deemed material at September 30, 2012 due to overall market volatility, recent conversions by holders of the Convertible Notes, as well as the Company's ability to call the Convertible Notes at any time after October 6, 2011.

Prior to fiscal 2011, the Company paid $19,414 to purchase $22,200 in principal amounts of the Convertible Notes.

The Convertible Notes mature on October 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Company may redeem the Convertible Notes for cash, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 6, 2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to but not including the date of redemption. In addition, holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Convertible Notes on October 1, 2016 and 2021, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be

repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to, but not including, the date of repurchase. On September 2, 2011, the Company submitted a tender offer of repurchase to the holders of the Convertible Notes, expiring October 3, 2011, and no notes were tendered for repurchase. The Convertible Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a rate equal to 36.7948 shares per $1 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $27.17 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver to the holder surrendering the Convertible Notes for conversion, for each $1 principal amount of Convertible Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1 and the Company’s total conversion obligation and, to the extent that the Company’s total conversion obligation exceeds $1, at the Company’s election, cash or shares of the Company’s common stock in respect of the remainder.

The Convertible Notes are eligible for conversion upon meeting certain conditions as provided in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. For the periods from January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012, the Convertible Notes were eligible for conversion. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the Company settled the conversion of $50,395 in principal value of the Convertible Notes, as requested by the respective holders, with the principal settled in cash and the conversion benefit settled through the issuance of 772,438 shares. During the six months ended September 30, 2012, the Company settled the conversion of $18,907 in principal value of the Convertible Notes, as requested by the respective holders, with the principal settled in cash and the conversion benefit settled through the issuance of 386,936 shares. In October 2012, the Company received notice of conversion from holders of $10 in principal value of the Convertible Notes. These conversions were settled in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 with the principal settled in cash and the conversion benefit settled through the issuance of approximately 211 shares. In October 2012, the Company delivered a notice to holders of the Convertible Notes to the effect that, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days preceding September 30, 2012, the closing price of the Company's common stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of such notes on the last trading day. Under the terms of the Convertible Notes, the increase in the Company's stock price triggered a provision, which gave holders of the Convertible Notes a put option through December 31, 2012. Accordingly, the balance sheet classification of the Convertible Notes will be short term for as long as the put option remains in effect.

To be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the average price of the Company’s common stock for the quarter must exceed the conversion price per share of $27.17. The average price of the Company's common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $60.35 and $49.95, respectively. Therefore, as of the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were 2,258,303 and 2,518,045 additional shares, respectively, included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The average price of the Company’s common stock for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $60.42 and $47.63, respectively. Therefore, as of the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were 2,357,143 and 2,466,451 additional shares, respectively, included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any.

7.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the ASC, which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes 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

Level 3    Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

7.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

The following table provides the assets (liabilities) reported at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012:

Description		Level		September 30, 2012				March 31, 2012
Contingent consideration		3		$	(2,471	)		$	(2,019	)
Derivatives		2		152				212

The fair value of the contingent consideration at the date of the acquisition of ANS was $1,926, which was estimated using the income approach based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market. Key assumptions included a discount rate and probability assessments of each milestone payment being made. The assumptions used to develop the estimate were updated during the six months ended September 30, 2012, based on the underlying earnings projections exceeding initial assumptions.

Derivative liabilities included in the table above relate to derivative financial instruments that the Company uses to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to manage the exchange rate risk of forecasted foreign currency denominated cash payments. The foreign currency exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The classification of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of derivatives is dependent on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation. Adjustments to reflect changes in fair values of derivatives attributable to the effective portion of hedges that are considered highly effective hedges are reflected net of income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives that are attributable to the ineffective portion of the hedges, or of derivatives that are not considered to be highly effective hedges, if any, are immediately recognized in earnings. The aggregate notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts at September 30, 2012 was $6,736, with open settlement dates up to September 30, 2013.

The effect of derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of income is as follows:

			Amount of Gain (Loss) in OCI (Effective Portion) Period ended September 30,								Reclassification Adjustment Gain (Loss) Amount Period ended September 30,
	Reclassification Adjustment Gain (Loss) Location (Effective Portion)
Cash Flow Hedges			2012				2011				2012				2011
Derivatives	Interest expense and other		$	(37	)		$	232			$	85			$	(232	)

The amount of ineffectiveness on derivatives is not significant. The Company estimates that approximately $94 of losses presently in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.

The following table represents a rollforward of the balances of our liabilities recorded at fair value that are valued using Level 3 inputs:

	March 31, 2012 Balance				Net Purchases (Sales), Issues (Settlements)				Net Realized Appreciation (Depreciation)				Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)				September 30, 2012 Balance
Contingent consideration	$	(2,019	)		$	—			$	(452	)		$	—			$	(2,471	)

	March 31, 2011 Balance				Net Purchases (Sales), Issues (Settlements)				Net Realized Appreciation (Depreciation)				Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)				September 30, 2011 Balance

The following table presents quantitative information for liabilities recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs:

	September 30, 2012 Balance				Valuation Technique		Unobservable input		Range
Contingent consideration	$	(2,471	)		Discounted cash flow		Earnings of acquired company		$0 - $3,000

The Financial Instruments topic of the ASC requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments. These estimated fair values as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of alternative market assumptions and estimation methodologies could have had a material effect on these estimates of fair value.

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:

	September 30, 2012								March 31, 2012
	Carrying Value				Fair Value				Carrying Value				Fair Value
Long-term debt	$	1,092,690			$	1,291,245			$	1,158,862			$	1,385,264

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).

Except for long-term debt, the Company's financial instruments are highly liquid or have short-term maturities. Therefore, the recorded value is approximately equal to the fair value. The financial instruments held by the Company could potentially expose it to a concentration of credit risk. The Company invests its excess cash in money market funds and other deposit instruments placed with major banks and financial institutions. The Company has established guidelines related to diversification and maturities to maintain safety and liquidity.

8.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company follows the Income Taxes topic of the ASC, 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 de-recognition, 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 September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties was $239.

As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $7,199, of which $5,415, 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.

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was 36.5% as compared to 35.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was 37.4% as compared to 35.5% for the six months ended September 30, 2011. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, the income tax provision included $2,219 of tax expense due to the recapture of domestic production deductions taken in earlier years associated with a refund claim expected to be filed in the second quarter. The Company filed a refund claim during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 for approximately $25,158 as a result of carrying back tax losses to prior years.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2009, state or local examinations for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2007, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2008.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company was subject to examination in two state jurisdictions for fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2011. 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, 2004 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.

10.    GOODWILL

11.     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 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 the ASC, the Company has recognized the funded status of the benefit obligation as of the date of the last remeasurement, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan’s assets and the PBO 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.

11.     PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

The Company periodically experiences events or makes changes to its benefit plans that result in special charges. Some require remeasurements. The following summarizes the key events whose effects on net periodic benefit costs are included in the tables above:

•

In April 2012, the Company completed an early retirement incentive offer with a portion of its second largest union-represented group of production and maintenance employees. The early retirement incentive offer provided for an increase in the pension benefits payable to covered employees who retire no later than November 30, 2012. This early retirement incentive resulted in a special termination benefit expense of $1,150 and is presented on the accompanying consolidated statement of income as "Early retirement incentive expense".

•

In July 2012, the Company completed a similar early retirement incentive offer to its non-represented employee participants. This early retirement incentive provided for an increase in the termination benefits payable through the pension plan to covered employees who retire no later than November 30, 2012. This early retirement incentive resulted in a special termination benefit expense of $1,957 and is presented on the accompanying consolidated statement of income as "Early retirement incentive expense", as well as severance charges of $1,182 included in "Acquisition and integration expenses" on the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

In October 2012, the Company completed an early retirement incentive offer with a portion of its largest union-represented group of production and maintenance employees. The early retirement offer provided for an increase in the pension benefits to covered employees who retire no later than March 31, 2013. This early retirement incentive is expected to result in a special termination benefit expense of approximately $2,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2012.

12.     SEGMENTS

The Company has three reportable segments: the Aerostructures Group, the Aerospace Systems Group and the Aftermarket Services Group. The Company’s reportable segments are aligned with how the business is managed and the markets that the Company serves are viewed. 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 (“EBITDA”) as a primary measure of segment profitability to evaluate performance of its segments and allocate resources.

The Aerostructures segment consists of the Company’s operations that manufacture products primarily for the aerospace original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") market. The Aerostructures segment’s revenues are derived from the design, manufacture, assembly and integration of metallic and composite aerostructures and structural components, including aircraft wings, fuselage sections, tail assemblies, engine nacelles, flight control surfaces as well as helicopter cabins. Further, the segment’s operations also design and manufacture composite assemblies for floor panels and environmental control system ducts. These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s operations that also manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market, as well as the related aftermarket. The segment’s operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators, mechanical control cables and non-structural cockpit components. These products are sold primarily to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.

The Aftermarket Services segment consists of the Company’s operations that provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services to both commercial and military markets on components and accessories manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenues are derived from services on auxiliary power units, airframe and engine accessories, including constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic drive units. In addition, the segment’s operations repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components and flight control surfaces. The segment’s operations also perform repair and overhaul services and supply spare parts for various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines on a worldwide basis.

Segment 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 early retirement incentives, such as the $1,957 and $3,107 of special termination benefit expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company does not accumulate net sales information by product or service or groups of similar products and services and, therefore, the Company does not disclose net sales by product or service because to do so would be impracticable. Selected financial information for each reportable segment and the reconciliation of EBITDA to operating income is as follows:

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

The 2017 Notes and the 2018 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 2017 Notes and the 2018 Notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) are: (a) the receivables securitization special-purpose entity; and (b) the international 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 consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, condensed consolidating statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

14.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Trade Secret Litigation over Claims of Eaton Corporation

On July 9, 2004, Eaton Corporation and several of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Eaton”) sued the Company, a subsidiary and certain employees of the Company and the subsidiary on claims alleging misappropriation of trade secrets and intellectual property allegedly belonging to Eaton relating to the design and manufacture of hydraulic pumps and motors used in military and commercial aviation.  The subsidiary and the individual engineer defendants answered Eaton's claims and filed counterclaims, while the Company and an officer of the Company moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. In the course of discovery in the suit, the court began an investigation of allegations of wrongdoing by Eaton in its conduct of the litigation. Eaton denied, and continues to deny, these allegations. On December 22, 2010, however, the court dismissed all of Eaton's claims with prejudice based on the court's conclusion that a fraud had been perpetrated on the court by counsel for Eaton of which Eaton was aware or should have been aware. Meanwhile, the Company, several subsidiaries, and the employees sued by Eaton are now pursuing claims (including antitrust claims) and counterclaims against Eaton based on the Eaton misconduct that led to the dismissal of Eaton's claims. Given the court's dismissal of Eaton's claims, we cannot conclude that a loss arising from Eaton's claims is probable. However, given the unusual nature and complexity of the case, we also cannot conclude that the probability of loss is remote, nor can we reasonably estimate the possible loss, or range of loss, that could be incurred by the Company if Eaton were to prevail on appeal and in the litigation that would follow. Even if Eaton were to prevail on appeal, however, we believe we have substantial defenses and would expect to defend the claims vigorously.

Other

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is also involved in disputes, claims, lawsuits, and governmental and regulatory inquiries that it deems to be immaterial. Some may involve claims or potential claims of substantial damages, fines or penalties. 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

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

OVERVIEW

We are a major supplier to the aerospace industry and have three operating segments: (i) Triumph Aerostructures Group, whose companies’ revenues are derived from the design, manufacture, assembly and integration of metallic and composite aerostructures and structural components for the global aerospace original equipment manufacturers, or OEM, market; (ii) Triumph Aerospace Systems Group, whose companies design, engineer and manufacture a wide range of proprietary and build-to-print components, assemblies and systems also for the OEM market and the related aftermarket; and (iii) Triumph Aftermarket Services Group, whose companies serve aircraft fleets, notably commercial airlines, the U.S. military and cargo carriers, through the maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft components and accessories manufactured by third parties.

Highlights for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 included:

•	Net sales for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 increased 18.7% over the prior year period to $938.2 million.

•	Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 31.8% over the prior year period to $142.9 million.

•	Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 36.9% over the prior year period to $80.2 million.

•	Backlog as of September 30, 2012 increased 7.5% year over year and 3.5% from the prior fiscal year end to $4.04 billion, and includes expected milestone payments on development contracts. Of our existing backlog of $4.04 billion, we estimate that approximately $1.55 billion will not be shipped by September 30, 2013.

•	Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $1.53 per diluted common share, as compared to $1.13 per diluted share in the prior year period.

•	We generated $132.9 million of cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012, after $56.0 million in pension contributions, as compared to $61.1 million in the prior year period.

The Budget Control Act of 2011 (the "Budget Act") has two primary parts. The first mandates a $487 billion reduction to previously planned defense spending over the next decade. The second part is a sequester mechanism that would impose an additional $500 billion of cuts on defense funding between the government's fiscal year 2013 (ending September 30) and fiscal year 2021 if Congress does not identify a means to reduce the U.S. deficit by $1.2 trillion. As of November 5, 2012, Congress has not identified these required savings. If Congress does not identify the required reduction, defense spending would likely sustain further cuts. For fiscal year 2013, the President has requested total defense funding of $525 billion, including $168 billion for investment accounts. In accordance with the first part of the Budget Act, the Department of Defense’s five-year spending plan submitted with the fiscal year 2013 funding request incorporates $259 billion of cuts when compared with the previous five-year plan. However, the spending plan does not include the impact of sequestration, the second part of the Budget Act. Due to the planned reductions in defense spending under the Budget Act, we expect the declining trend in the military end market to continue.

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 provide 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 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 measures that we disclose are EBITDA, which is our income from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, amortization of acquired contract liabilities, early retirement incentives, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA adjusted for acquisition-related costs associated with the acquisition of Vought. We disclose EBITDA and

23

Table Of Contents

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(continued)

Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated and an operating 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 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 EBITDA as an operating performance measure and as such we believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is income from continuing operations. In calculating 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. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under 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 GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on EBITDA as a substitute for any 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 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 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 EBITDA.

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 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 15 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. 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 EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our performance from quarter to quarter and from year to year. We also believe EBITDA is a measure of our ongoing operating performance because the isolation of noncash income and expenses, such as amortization of acquired contract liabilities, depreciation and amortization, and nonoperating 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 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 EBITDA and the material limitations associated with using this non-GAAP financial measure as compared to income from continuing operations:

 

•	Early retirement incentives may be useful to investors to consider because it represents the current period impact of the change in defined benefit obligation due to the reduction in future service costs. We do not believe these charges (gains) 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 noncash earnings on the fair value of below-market contracts acquired through the acquisition of Vought Aircraft Industries, inc. (Vought). We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.

•	Amortization expense 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.

•	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 by using a non-GAAP measure only to supplement our GAAP results and to provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.

Net sales increased by $147.7 million or 18.7% to $938.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $790.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Organic sales increased $144.9 million, or 18.3%, due to the increases in our customers' production rates on existing programs and new product introduction. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 included $15.0 million in total non-recurring revenues, as compared to $10.4 million in non-recurring revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The prior year period was negatively impacted by Boeing's delay with the 747, along with declines in non-recurring work related to the 747 program. While we expect to see continued net sales growth, we project our fiscal third quarter net sales to be lower than our fiscal second quarter due to some significant deferral requests by certain customers from our fiscal third quarter to our fiscal fourth quarter and to a lesser extent, some customer driven acceleration of net sales into our quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Cost of sales increased by $112.4 million, or 19.0%, to $703.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $591.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due to increased sales. Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was 25.0% as compared to 25.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. This change included unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments and forward loss provisions noted below.

Segment operating income increased by $35.7 million, or 29.2%, to $157.9 million for the quarter ended September 30,

2012 from $122.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The segment operating income increase was a direct result of the sales volume increases and continued realization from synergies from the acquisition of Vought, offset by net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on long-term contracts ($0.2 million), forward loss provisions on initial production lots of early stage programs ($2.0 million) and increased legal fees ($0.8 million). The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income included gross favorable adjustments of $15.1 million and gross unfavorable adjustments of $15.3 million. The cumulative catch-up adjustments for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were due to provisions for technical problems on production lots on early stage programs and revisions in our mix of various material and labor costs related to our efforts to gain efficiencies through expansion of our in-sourcing capabilities. Segment operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $7.3 million.

Corporate expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 8.9%, to $14.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $13.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. This increase was due to $2.0 million special termination benefit for an early retirement incentive offered to a portion of our non-represented employee pension plan participants and $0.5 million additional equity compensation, offset by improved efficiencies in our Mexican facility.

Interest expense and other decreased by $1.0 million, or 5.7%, to $16.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $17.7 million for the prior year period. Interest expense and other for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included an additional $1.1 million for amortization of discount on the convertible senior subordinated notes ("Convertible Notes"). The discount on the Convertible Notes was fully amortized as of September 30, 2011.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was 36.5% compared to 35.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 36.5%, reflecting the expiration of the research and development tax credit as of December 31, 2011 and the absence of the domestic production deduction due to the Company's net operating loss position.

In July 2011, the Company completed the sale of Triumph Precision Castings Co. for proceeds of $3.9 million, resulting in no gain or loss on the disposition. As a result, loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was zero for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared with a loss from discontinued operations before income taxes of $0.1 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Business Segment Performance

We report our financial performance based on the following three reportable segments: the Aerostructures Group, the Aerospace Systems Group and the Aftermarket Services Group. The results of operations among our operating segments vary due to differences in competitors, customers, extent of proprietary deliverables and performance. For example, our Aerostructures segment 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. This compares to our Aerospace Systems segment 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. In contrast, our Aftermarket Services segment 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 Aftermarket Services segment can provide for greater volatility and less predictability in revenue and earnings than that experienced in the Aerostructures and Aerospace Systems segments.

The Aerostructures segment consists of the Company’s operations that manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The Aerostructures segment’s revenues are derived from the design, manufacture, assembly and integration of metallic and composite aerostructures and structural components, including aircraft wings, fuselage sections, tail assemblies, engine nacelles, flight control surfaces as well as helicopter cabins. Further, the segment’s operations also design and manufacture composite assemblies for floor panels and environmental control system ducts. These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s operations that also manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The segment’s operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as

hydraulic systems, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators, mechanical control cables and non-structural cockpit components. These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis and the related aftermarket.

The Aftermarket Services segment consists of the Company’s operations that provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services to both commercial and military markets on components and accessories manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenues are derived from services on auxiliary power units, airframe and engine accessories, including constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic drive units. In addition, the segment’s operations repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components and flight control surfaces. The segment’s operations also perform repair and overhaul services and supply spare parts for various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines on a worldwide basis.

We currently generate a majority of our revenue from clients in the commercial aerospace industry, the military, the business jet industry and the regional airline industry. Our growth and financial results are largely dependent on continued demand for our products and services from clients in these industries. If any of these industries experiences a downturn, our clients in these sectors may conduct less business with us. The following table summarizes our net sales by end market by business segment. The loss of one or more of our major customers or an economic downturn in the commercial airline or the military and defense markets could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Total Aftermarket Services net sales	8.1	%		8.9	%
Total Consolidated net sales	100.0	%		100.0	%

We continue to experience a higher proportion of our sales mix in the commercial aerospace end market. We recently have experienced a slight decrease in our military end market. Due to our continued expected growth in the commercial aerospace end market and the planned reductions in defense spending under the Budget Act, we expect the declining trend in the military end market to continue.

Aerostructures: The Aerostructures segment net sales increased by $126.0 million, or 21.4%, to $714.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $588.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The increase was entirely organic and was due to the increases in our customers' production rates on existing programs and new product introduction. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 included $15.0 million in total non-recurring revenues, as compared to $10.4 million in non-recurring revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. While we expect to see continued net sales growth, we project our fiscal third quarter net sales to be lower than our fiscal second quarter due to some significant deferral requests by certain customers from our fiscal third quarter to our fiscal fourth quarter and to a lesser extent, some customer driven acceleration of net sales into our quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Aerostructures segment operating income increased by $28.9 million, or 31.2%, to $121.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $92.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 included net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on long-term contracts ($0.2 million) and forward loss provisions on initial production lots of early stage programs ($2.0 million), offset by lower pension and other postretirement benefit expenses ($3.6 million). Segment operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $7.3 million. Segment operating income also improved due to increased sales

volume, improved efficiencies and increased realization from synergies from the acquisition of Vought. These same factors contributed to the increase in EBITDA year over year.

Aerostructures segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased to 17.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 15.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, due to the increased sales volume driving improved efficiencies as well as lower pension and other postretirement benefit expenses discussed above, which also caused the improvements in EBITDA margin.

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $16.4 million, or 12.2%, to $150.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $133.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Net sales increased due to increases in our customers' production rates on commercial programs and market share gains.

Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $3.1 million, or 13.5%, to $25.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $22.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Operating income increased primarily due to increased sales and increased efficiencies in production associated with higher volume of work, offset by $1.2 million of expenses associated with GECI Aviation (Sky Aircraft) bankruptcy and increased legal fees ($0.6 million) associated with the trade secret litigation. These same factors contributed to the increase in EBITDA year over year.

Aerospace Systems segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased slightly to 17.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 16.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

 

Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $5.5 million, or 7.8%, to $76.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $70.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The acquisition of Aviation Network Services, LLC ("ANS") contributed $2.8 million in net sales and organic sales increased $2.7 million, or 3.8%. Organic net sales increased primarily due to higher military sales and market share gains.

Aftermarket Services segment operating income increased by $3.8 million, or 53.5%, to $10.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $7.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Operating income increased due to contributions from the acquisition of ANS ($1.5 million) and to the increase in organic net sales volume. The sales volume increases improved our production efficiencies by increasing organic gross margins to 25.3% from 22.8% in the prior year period. These same factors contributed to the increase in EBITDA year over year.

Aftermarket Services segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased to 14.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared with 9.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, due to the increase in sales volume and related efficiencies and the contributions from the acquisition of ANS noted above, which also caused the improvement in EBITDA margin.

Net sales increased by $190.3 million, or 11.6%, to $1.83 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $1.64 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2011. Organic sales increased $184.3 million, or 11.3%, due to the increases in our customers' production rates on existing programs and new product introduction. Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2012 included $40.6 million in total non-recurring revenues, including a $20.0 million non-recurring termination claim settlement, as compared to $16.6 million in non-recurring revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The prior year period was negatively impacted by Boeing's delay with the 747, along with declines in non-recurring work related to the 747 program.

Cost of sales increased $114.9 million, or 9.3%, to $1.35 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $1.24 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due to increased sales. Gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was 25.8%, as compared to 24.2% for the prior year period. This change was impacted by improved execution, increased realization from synergies from the acquisition of Vought, changes in the overall sales mix, as well as the margin on a non-recurring termination claim settlement ($7.0 million), and lower pension benefit expenses.

Segment operating income increased by $73.8 million, or 30.8%, to $313.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $239.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The segment operating income increase was a direct result of the gross margin improvements noted above, which included improved execution, increased realization from synergies from the acquisition of Vought, lower pension and other postretirement benefit expenses ($7.3 million) offset by net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on long-term contracts ($4.8 million). The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income included gross favorable adjustments of $15.0 million and gross unfavorable adjustments of $19.8 million. The cumulative catch-up adjustments for the six months ended September 30, 2012 were due primarily to increased costs from suppliers on the C-17 and 747-8 programs. Segment operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2011 included net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $7.3 million. Offsetting the improvements in gross margin, segment operating income was negatively impacted by increased legal fees ($2.3 million).

Corporate expenses increased by $3.7 million, or 14.5%, to $29.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $25.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was due to $3.1 million special termination benefits for an early retirement incentive offered to a portion of our second largest union-represented group of production and maintenance employees and our non-represented employee participants, as well as $1.5 million additional compensation and benefits expense due to increased head count as compared to the prior year period and increased equity compensation, offset by improved efficiencies in our Mexican facility.

Interest expense and other decreased by $10.2 million, or 23.2%, to $33.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $44.1 million for the prior year period. Interest expense and other for the six months ended September 30, 2011 included the write-off of $7.7 million of unamortized discounts and deferred financing fees associated with the extinguishment of the term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan”) in April 2011 and an additional $2.5 million for amortization of discount on the Convertible Notes. The discount on the Convertible Notes was fully amortized as of September 30, 2011.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was 37.4% compared to 35.5% for the six months ended September 30, 2011. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, the income tax provision included $2.2 million of tax expense due to the recapture of domestic production deductions taken in earlier years associated with a refund claim of $25.2 million filed in the second quarter. The refund claim receivable is included in "Other, net" in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 36.5%, reflecting the expiration of the research and development tax credit as of December 31, 2011 and the absence of the domestic production deduction due to the Company's net operating loss position.

In July 2011, the Company completed the sale of Triumph Precision Castings Co. for proceeds of $3.9 million, resulting in no gain or loss on the disposition. As a result, loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was zero for the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared with a loss from discontinued operations before income taxes of $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The benefit for income taxes was zero for the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a benefit of $0.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011.

Segment operating income also improved due to improved execution, increased realization from synergies from the acquisition of Vought and changes in the overall sales mix. These same factors contributed to the increase in EBITDA year over year.

Aerostructures segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased to 17.5% for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 14.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2011, due to the non-recurring termination claim settlement and lower pension and other postretirement benefit expenses discussed above, which also caused the improvements in EBITDA margin.

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $23.9 million, or 8.9%, to $290.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $266.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. Net sales increased due to continued improvements in the broader market and benefits from large outsourcing programs.

 

Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $4.1 million, or 9.1%, to $49.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $45.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. Operating income increased due to increases in gross margin ($1.4 million) due to sales mix and increased efficiencies in production associated with higher volume of work and increased sales ($7.8 million), offset by increased development costs ($2.8 million), legal fees ($1.9 million) and bad debts ($0.7 million). These same factors contributed to the increase in EBITDA year over year.

Aerospace Systems segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales remained flat at 16.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 16.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2011, due to the improvements in gross margin noted above, offset by the increased operating expenses such as development costs, legal fees and bad debt expense. These same factors contributed to the consistency in EBITDA margin year over year.

Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $15.1 million, or 10.7%, to $156.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $140.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The acquisition of ANS contributed $6.0 million in net sales and organic sales increased $9.1 million, or 6.5%. Organic net sales increased primarily due to higher military sales and market share gains.

Aftermarket Services segment operating income increased by $8.6 million, or 61.5%, to $22.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $14.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. Operating income increased primarily due to increased sales volume as described above, as well as increases in gross margin as a result of increased efficiencies in production associated with the higher volume of work. These same factors contributed to the increase in EBITDA year over year.

Aftermarket Services segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased to 14.5% for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with 9.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2011, due to the increase in sales volume and related efficiencies noted above, which also caused the improvements in EBITDA margin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit and leasing arrangements. During the six months ended September 30, 2012, we generated approximately $132.9 million of cash flows in operating activities, used approximately $58.7 million in investing activities and used approximately $73.3 million in financing activities.

Cash flows from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2012 increased $71.8 million, or 117.5%, from the six months ended September 30, 2011. Our cash flows from operations increased due to an increase in net income of $47.8 million and an increase of $27.9 million in noncash charges such as the utilization of the net operating loss carryforward acquired in the acquisition of Vought.

These increases were offset in part by a decrease of $2.0 million in net working capital changes. Net working capital changes included increased cash uses for inventories of $73.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to cash uses of $36.7 million in the prior year period due to production buildup and increases in capitalized pre-production costs related to the Bombardier wing program and decreases in unliquidated progress payments, which are netted against inventory. Capitalized pre-production costs are expected to continue to increase, while our production buildup is expected to moderate over the next few quarters. In addition, net working capital changes includes increased cash uses for accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $60.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $24.5 million in the prior year period due to timing; offset by increased cash provided from trade and other receivables of $41.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to cash uses of $10.8 million in the prior year period due to increased cash collections.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012 increased $51.4 million from the six months ended September 30, 2011. Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012, included $18.6 million in capital expenditures associated with our new facility in Red Oak, Texas. Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $15.2 million from the six months ended September 30, 2011. Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012 included the redemption of certain Convertible Notes of $18.9 million, as compared to $28.4 million in the prior year period. Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2011 also included the extinguishment of the Term Loan ($350.0 million).

As of September 30, 2012, $730.7 million was available under our revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).  On September 30, 2012, an aggregate amount of approximately $238.3 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, all of

which was accruing interest at LIBOR plus applicable basis points totaling 1.50% per annum. Amounts repaid under the Credit Facility may be reborrowed.

On May 23, 2012, the Company amended the Credit Facility with its lenders to (i) increase the availability under the Credit Facility to $1.00 billion, with a $50.0 million accordion feature, from $850.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date to May 23, 2017 and (iii) amend certain other terms and covenants.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company extinguished its Term Loan at face value of $350.0 million, plus accrued interest using availability under the Credit Facility. The Company recorded a pretax loss of approximately $7.7 million associated with these transactions during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 due to the write-off of unamortized discounts and deferred financing fees on the Term Loan.

At September 30, 2012, there was $149.8 million outstanding under our receivable securitization facility (the “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.

In June 2010, the Company issued the Senior Notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes") for $350.0 million in principal amount. The 2018 Notes were sold at 99.27% of principal amount for net proceeds of $347.5 million, and have an effective interest yield of 8.75%. Interest on the 2018 Notes is payable semiannually in cash in arrears on January 15 and May 15 of each year. We used the net proceeds as partial consideration of the acquisition of Vought. In connection with the issuance of the 2018 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $7.3 million of costs, which were deferred and are being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the notes.

In November 2009, the Company issued the Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2017 (the "2017 Notes") for $175.0 million in principal amount.  The 2017 Notes were sold at 98.56% of principal amount for net proceeds of $172.5 million, and have an effective interest yield of 8.25%. Interest on the 2017 Notes is payable semiannually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included debt reduction, including repayment of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, without any permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder. In connection with the issuance of the 2017 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $4.4 million of costs, which were deferred and are being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the notes.

In September 2006, the Company issued the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the Company, and rank (i) junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Notes mature on October 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Company may redeem the Convertible Notes for cash, either in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 6, 2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to but not including the date of redemption. Prior to fiscal 2011, the Company paid $19.4 million to purchase $22.2 million in principal amounts of the Convertible Notes. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the Company settled the conversion of $50.4 million in principal value of the Convertible Notes, as requested by the respective holders, with the principal settled in cash and the conversion benefit settled through the issuance of 772,438 shares. During the six months ended September 30, 2012, the Company settled the conversion of $18.9 million in principal value of the Convertible Notes, as requested by the respective holders, with the principal settled in cash and the conversion benefit settled through the issuance of 386,936 shares. In October 2012, the Company received notice of conversion from holders of $10.0 thousand in principal value of the Convertible Notes. These conversions will settle in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 with the principal settled in cash and the conversion benefit settled through the issuance of approximately 211 shares. In October 2012, the Company delivered a notice to holders of the Convertible Notes to the effect that, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days preceding September 30, 2012, the closing price of the Company's common stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of such notes on the last trading day. Under the terms of the Convertible Notes, the increase in the Company's stock price triggered a provision, which gave holders of the Convertible Notes a put option through December 31, 2012.

Capital expenditures were approximately $61.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012, primarily for the construction of our facility in Red Oak, Texas and manufacturing machinery and equipment. We funded these expenditures through cash generated from operations. We expect capital expenditures and investments in new major programs of approximately $140.0 million to $160.0 million for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, of which $50.0 million will be

reflected in inventory. The expenditures are expected to be used mainly to expand capacity or replace old equipment at several facilities.

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 (dollars in thousands)
Contractual Obligations	Total				Less than 1 year				1-3 years				3-5 years				More than 5 years
Debt principal (1)	$	1,096,493			$	125,201			$	177,553			$	255,388			$	538,351
Debt interest (2)	261,179				51,081				92,677				90,104				27,317
Operating leases	89,623				20,172				42,188				12,713				14,550
Contingent payments (3)	29,000				27,100				1,900				—				—
Purchase obligations	1,588,148				936,104				632,753				18,980				311
Total	$	3,064,443			$	1,159,658			$	947,071			$	377,185			$	580,529

(1) Included in the Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2012, plus discounts on the 2017 Notes and the 2018 Notes of $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, being amortized to expense through November 2017 and July 2018, respectively.

(2) Includes fixed-rate interest only.

(3) Includes unrecorded contingent payments in connection with the fiscal 2009 acquisitions.

The above table excludes unrecognized tax benefits of $7.2 million as of September 30, 2012 since we cannot predict with reasonable certainty the timing of cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities.

The table also excludes our pension benefit obligations. We made contributions to our defined benefit pension plans of $122.2 million and $135.1 million in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. We expect to make total pension and postretirement plan contributions of $113.2 million to our benefit plans during fiscal 2013. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, the Company made pension contributions of $56.0 million. One of our major actions related to the synergies from the acquisition of Vought will result in the closure of a portion of our Dallas facility, which we expect will create a pension curtailment loss in a future quarter. The Company is required to make minimum contributions to its defined benefit pension plans under the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 and the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

We are continuing to negotiate an acceptable lease with the new landlord of our largest facility, occupied by Triumph Aerostructures-Vought Aircraft Division, while developing alternative plans to relocate our operations. Any relocation from this facility would involve a significant investment in capital and expense, but would be expected to produce significant long term savings to the Company. We expect to make a decision in our third quarter of fiscal 2013.

We believe that cash generated by operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for our current operations for the foreseeable future. However, we have a stated policy to grow through acquisitions and are continuously evaluating various acquisition opportunities. As a result, we currently are pursuing the potential purchase of a number of candidates. In the event that more than one of these transactions are successfully consummated, the availability under the Credit Facility might be fully utilized and additional funding sources may be needed. There can be no assurance that such funding sources will be available to us on terms favorable to us, if at all.

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, 2012, filed with the SEC in May 2012.

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, 2012. 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 Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’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 September 30, 2012, 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 September 30, 2012.

(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.
