Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(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 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals, except for the preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the Company’s acquisition of Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. (“Vought”) completed on June 16, 2010 (see Note 3)) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

 

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.

 

As discussed in Note 3, on June 16, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Vought.  The Company’s fiscal 2011 consolidated financial statements are inclusive of Vought’s operations from June 16, 2010 through September 30, 2010.  Management believes that the acquisition of Vought significantly advances its technical capabilities and enhances its ability to offer aerostructure systems solutions to its customers. The integration of Vought with Triumph creates a leading Tier One Capable supplier with strong positions in commercial and military platforms.  Strategically, the acquisition of Vought provides further diversification across customers and programs, as well as exposure to new growth platforms.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts in order to conform to the current-year presentation.

 

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 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, with the majority measured under the units of delivery method.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

·                 Under the cost-to-cost method, 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 progress toward completion.  Revenue represents the sum of costs and profit on the contract for the period.

·                 Under the units-of-delivery method, 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 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 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 and Production-Type Contracts topic.

 

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, not withstanding 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. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized $8,722 and $9,581, respectively, into net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

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 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 customer’s 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.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable include amounts billed and currently due from customers, amounts currently due but unbilled, certain estimated contract changes and amounts retained by the customer pending contract completion.  Unbilled amounts are generally billed and collected within one year.  The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from customers.

 

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 34% and 26% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The Company had no other significant concentrations of credit risk. Sales to Boeing for the six months ended September 30, 2010 were $494,518, or 42.1% of net sales, of which $447,597, $29,216 and $17,705 were from the Aerostructures segment, the Aerospace Systems segment and Aftermarket Services segment, respectively. Sales to Boeing for the six months ended September 30, 2009 were $184,217, or 29% of net sales, of which $128,689, $35,337 and $22,673 were from the Aerostructures segment, 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.

 

Inventories

 

Inventoried costs primarily relate to work in process under fixed-price contracts.  They represent accumulated contract costs less the portion of such costs allocated to delivered items.  Accumulated contract costs include direct production costs, manufacturing and engineering overhead, and production tooling costs.

 

Advance Payments and Progress Payments

 

Advance payments and progress payments received on contracts-in-process are first offset against related contract costs that are included in inventory, with any remaining amount reflected in current liabilities under the Accrued expenses caption.

 

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, 2010 and 2009 was $841 and $814, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,482 and $1,694, respectively. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expenses were $251 and $98 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, 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.

Company as a leading global manufacturer of aerostructures for commercial, military and business jet aircraft.  Products include fuselages, wings, empennages, nacelles and helicopter cabins.  Vought’s customer base is comprised of the leading global aerospace original equipment manufacturers or OEMs and over 80% of its revenue is from sole source, long-term contracts.  Vought’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $1.9 billion and Vought employed approximately 5,900 people. The Company incurred $18,650 in acquisition-related expenses in connection with the acquisition of Vought, including $4,583 of bridge financing fees on undrawn commitments. Such commitments expired upon closing of the acquisition of Vought.

Recording of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Certain estimated values are not yet finalized (see below) and are subject to change. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as the information necessary to complete the analyses is obtained. The Company expects to finalize these amounts during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2011. Under U.S. GAAP, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Deferred taxes: The Company provided deferred taxes and recorded other adjustments as part of the accounting for the acquisition primarily related to the estimated fair value adjustments for acquired intangible assets, as well as the elimination of previously recorded valuation allowance associated with Vought’s historical operating losses.

 

Debt: Simultaneously with the closing of the acquisition of Vought, the Company repaid $603,111 of Vought’s debt and accrued interest in connection with the closing, including $270,000 in 8% senior notes, $320,710 in senior credit facilities and $12,401 in accrued but unpaid interest.

 

Pension obligations: The Company assumed several defined benefit pension plans covering some of Vought’s 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 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 trust separate from the Company. The Company also assumed certain other post-retirement benefit plans (OPEB), namely healthcare and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees, which are unfunded.

 

The following is an estimate of the funded position of the assumed pension and OPEB plans as of the acquisition date, as well as the associated weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations:

The pension plan assets are invested in various asset classes that are expected to produce a sufficient level of diversification and investment return over the long-term. The investment goals are to exceed the assumed actuarial rate of return over the long-term within reasonable and prudent levels of risk and to preserve the real purchasing power of assets to meet future obligations.  The allocation guidelines of the pension plan assets are as follows: public equity - 53% to 61%; alternative investment funds - 2% to 12%; fixed income investments - 28% to 34% and real estate funds - 3% to 7%.

 

Goodwill: Goodwill in the amount of $1,013,759 was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Specifically, goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition of Vought includes:

 

·                 the expected synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining the operations of Vought with the operations of Triumph;

·                 any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as assembled workforce; and

·                 the value of the going-concern element of Vought’s existing businesses (the higher rate of return on the assembled collection of net assets versus acquiring all of the net assets separately).

 

The Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

 

The recorded amounts for assets and liabilities are provisional and subject to change. The measurement period adjustments recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income, balance sheet, or cash flows. The following items still are subject to change:

·                 amounts for intangibles pending finalization of valuation efforts;

·                 amounts for acquired contract liabilities pending finalization of valuation efforts;

·                 amounts for contingent liabilities pending completion of the assessment of these matters; and

·                 amounts for income tax assets, receivables and liabilities pending the filing of Vought’s pre-acquisition tax returns and the receipt of information from the taxing authorities which may change certain estimates and assumptions used.

 

A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. Judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as asset lives can materially impact results of operations.

FISCAL 2010 ACQUISITIONS

 

Acquisition of DCL Avionics, Inc.

 

Effective January 29, 2010, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Triumph Instruments — Burbank, Inc. acquired the assets and business of DCL Avionics, Inc. (“DCL”). DCL operated a Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) approved avionics repair station and components dealership. DCL provides Triumph Instruments—Burbank, Inc. with additional capacity as well as a strategic location on the Van Nuys, California, airport. The results for Triumph Instruments — Burbank, Inc. continue to be included in the Company’s Aftermarket Services segment.

 

Acquisition of Fabritech, Inc.

 

Effective March 1, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Fabritech, Inc. (“Fabritech”), renamed Triumph Fabrications — St. Louis, Inc. Triumph Fabrications — St. Louis, Inc. is a component manufacturer and repair station for critical military rotary-wing platforms. Fabritech provides the Company with high-end maintenance and manufactured solutions focused on aviation drive train, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical hardware items including gearboxes, cargo hooks and vibration absorbers. The results for Triumph Fabrications — St. Louis, Inc. were included in the Company’s Aftermarket Services segment as of March 31, 2010 and have been reclassified to the Company’s Aerospace Systems segment as of and during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

3.  ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

 

The acquisitions of DCL and Fabritech are herein referred to as the “fiscal 2010 acquisitions.”  The combined purchase price for the fiscal 2010 acquisitions of $33,913 includes cash paid at closing, deferred payments and estimated contingent payments.  The estimated contingent payments represent an earnout contingent upon the achievement of certain earnings levels during the earnout period.  The maximum amounts payable in respect of fiscal 2011, 2012 and 2013 are $6,400, $5,000 and $4,600, respectively.  The estimated fair value of the earnout note at the date of acquisition of $10,500 is classified as a Level 3 liability in the fair value hierarchy (Note 8). The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired of $22,636 was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company has also identified intangible assets valued at approximately $4,100 with a weighted-average life of 10.0 years.  The Company is awaiting final appraisal of tangible and intangible assets related to the fiscal 2010 acquisitions. Accordingly, the Company has recorded its best estimate of the value of intangible assets, property and equipment and contingent consideration. Therefore, the allocation of purchase price for the fiscal 2010 acquisitions is not complete.

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.   The Company recognized a pretax loss of $3,500 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 based upon a write-down of the carrying value of the business to estimated fair value less costs to sell.  The write-down was applied to inventory and long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment.

 

Due to failed negotiations with certain potential buyers of the business occurring during fiscal 2010, the Company reassessed its estimated fair value of the business based on current viable offers to purchase the business, recent performance results and overall market conditions, resulting in a write-down, which was applied to accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment. The Company recognized a pretax loss of $17,383 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  Included in the loss from discontinued operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 is an impairment charge of $2,512 recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

Revenues of discontinued operations were $478 and $958, and $508 and $1,494 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The loss from discontinued operations was $281 and $489, and $1,267 and $4,749, net of income tax benefit of $152 and $263, and $682 and $2,557 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Included in the loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2009 is an impairment charge of $2,512. Interest expense of $64 and $127, and $800 and $1,605 was allocated to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, based upon the actual borrowings of the operations, and such interest expense is included in the loss from discontinued operations.

The Credit Facility became available on June 16, 2010 in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of Vought.  The obligations under the Credit Facility and related documents are secured by liens on substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries pursuant to a 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”). In connection with entering into the Credit Facility, the Company incurred approximately $2,666 of financing costs. These costs, along with the $3,763 of unamortized financing costs prior to the closing, are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility replaced and refinanced the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 14, 2009 (the “2009 Credit Agreement”), which agreement was terminated and all obligations thereunder paid in full upon the consummation of the acquisition of Vought.

 

Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company can borrow, repay and re-borrow revolving credit loans, and cause to be issued letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $535,000 outstanding at any time. The comparable limit under the 2009 Credit Agreement was $485,000. Approximately $148,600 in loans were drawn under the Credit Facility in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of Vought. The Credit Facility bears interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus between 2.25% and 3.50%; (ii) the prime rate; or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the Company. The applicable interest rate is based upon the Company’s ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.300% and 0.500% 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, 2010, there were $97,145 in borrowings and $47,898 in letters of credit outstanding under the facility.  At March 31, 2010, there were no borrowings and $6,123 in letters of credit outstanding under the 2009 Credit Agreement.  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 Company is currently in compliance with all such covenants.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company had borrowing capacity under this facility of $389,957 after reductions for borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the facility.

 

Receivables Securitization Program

 

In June 2010, the Company entered into an amended receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”), increasing the purchase limit from $125,000 to $175,000.  In connection with the Securitization Facility, the Company sells on a revolving basis certain 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 accounts receivable under the Securitization Facility.  As of September 30, 2010, the maximum amount available under the Securitization Facility was $134,800. The Securitization Facility is due to expire in June 2011 and is subject to annual renewal through August 2013.  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 0.50% on the amount outstanding under the Securitization Facility.  Additionally, the commitment fee is 0.65% on 102% of the maximum amount available under the Securitization Facility.  At September 30, 2010, there was $75,000 outstanding under the Securitization Facility.  In connection with amending the Securitization Facility, the Company incurred approximately $639 of financing costs. These costs, along with the $540 of unamortized financing costs prior to the amendment, are being amortized over the life of the Securitization Facility.  The Company securitizes its accounts receivable, which are generally non-interest bearing, in transactions that are accounted for as borrowings pursuant to the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC.

 

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, resulting in net proceeds of $58,546 after deducting debt issuance costs of approximately $188. During June 2009, the Company added additional

capital leases resulting in proceeds of $6,669.  The net proceeds from the Leasing Facility were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s then existing credit facility. The debt issuance costs have been recorded as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized over the term of the Leasing Facility. The Leasing Facility bears interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 6.2% per annum.

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company entered into new capital leases in the amount of $6,845 to finance a portion of the Company’s capital additions for the period.

 

Term Loan Credit Agreement

 

The Company entered into a term loan credit agreement dated as of June 16, 2010 (the “Term Loan”), which proceeds were used to partially finance the acquisition of Vought. The Term Loan provides for a six-year term loan in a principal amount of $350,000, repayable in equal quarterly installments at a rate of 1.00% of the original principal amount per year, with the balance payable on the final maturity date. The proceeds of the loans under the Term Loan, which were 99.500% of the principal amount, were used to consummate the acquisition of Vought. In connection with the closing on the Term Loan, the Company incurred approximately $7,133 of costs, which were deferred and are being amortized into expense over the term of Term Loan.

 

The obligations under the Term Loan are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets pursuant to a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Term Loan Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) and certain other collateral agreements, in each case subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the base rate (subject to a 2.50% floor), plus a margin between 1.750% and 2.000%, or at the Eurodollar Rate (subject to a 1.50% floor), plus a margin driven by net leverage between 2.750% and 3.000%.

 

The Term Loan contains certain covenants, restrictions and events of default, in each case substantially similar to those under the Credit Facility including, but not limited to, a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior leverage ratio, and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Company is currently in compliance with all such covenants. In addition, the Term Loan provides for mandatory principal prepayments on the term loans outstanding thereunder under certain circumstances.

 

Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2017

 

On November 16, 2009, the Company issued $175,000 principal amount of 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”).  The 2017 Notes were sold at 98.558% 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 $4,410 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 subordinated to all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries (as defined below), including borrowings under the Company’s existing 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 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.  This change of control feature represents an embedded derivative. Since it is in the control of the Company to call the 2017 Notes at any time after November 15, 2013, the value of the derivative was determined to be de minimis. Accordingly, no value has been assigned at issuance or at September 30, 2010.

 

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.

 

Senior Notes due 2018

 

On June 16, 2010, in connection with the acquisition of Vought, the Company issued $350,000 principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”). The 2018 Notes were sold at 99.270% of principal amount and have an effective interest yield of 8.75%. Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 8.625% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2011. In connection with the issuance of the 2018 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $7,282 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. This change of control feature represents an embedded derivative. Since it is in the control of the Company to call the 2018 Notes at any time after July 15, 2014, the value of the derivative was determined to be de minimis. Accordingly, no value has been assigned at issuance or at September 30, 2010.

 

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.

 

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

 

On September 18, 2006, the Company issued $201,250 in convertible senior subordinated notes (the “Notes”). The 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.  During fiscal 2009, the Company paid $15,420 to purchase $18,000 in principal amount of the Notes, resulting in a reduction in the carrying amount of the Notes of $16,283 and a gain on extinguishment of $880.

 

The Company received net proceeds from the sale of the Notes of approximately $194,998 after deducting debt issuance expenses of approximately $6,252. The use of the net proceeds from the sale was for prepayment of the Company’s 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 have been recorded as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized over a period of five years.

 

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.625% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually 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 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. This contingent interest feature represents an embedded derivative. Since it is within the control of the Company to call the Notes at any time after October 6, 2011, the value of the derivative was determined to be de minimis. Accordingly, no value has been assigned at issuance or at September 30, 2010.

 

The Notes mature on October 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Company may redeem the 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 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 Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes on October 1, 2011, 2016 and 2021, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 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. The Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a rate equal to 18.3655 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $54.45 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver to the holder surrendering the Notes for conversion, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the Company’s total conversion obligation and, to the extent that the Company’s total conversion obligation exceeds $1,000, at the Company’s election, cash or shares of the Company’s common stock in respect of the remainder.

 

The Notes are eligible for conversion upon meeting certain conditions as provided in the indenture governing the Notes. For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, the Notes were not eligible for conversion.  Accordingly, the Company has classified the Notes as long-term as of September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

 

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 $54.45. The average price of the Company’s common stock for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was $70.75 and $42.20, respectively.  Therefore, 757,597 and zero additional shares were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.  The average price of the Company’s common stock for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was $70.56 and $41.56, respectively. Therefore, as of the six months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, there were 750,782 and zero additional shares, respectively, included in the diluted earnings per share. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, holders of the Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any.

 

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company changed its method of accounting for its convertible debt instruments in order to separately account for the liability and equity components of the Notes in a manner that reflects the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest and amortization cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount has been recognized as debt discount and amortized using the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2010, the remaining discount of $6,270 will be amortized on the effective interest method through October 1, 2011. The debt and equity components recognized for the Notes as of September 30, 2010 were as follows:

7.             DERIVATIVES

 

Interest Rate Swap

 

The Company follows the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the ASC to account for its interest rate swaps, which requires that all derivatives be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.  The standards also require that changes in the fair value be recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on the effectiveness of the hedge transaction.  Interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.  Changes in the fair value of a cash flow hedge, to the extent the hedge is effective, are recorded, net of tax, in other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity, until earnings are affected by the variability of the hedged cash flows.  Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness, defined as the extent that the changes in the fair value of the derivative exceed the variability of cash flows of the forecasted transaction, is recorded currently in earnings.

 

In March 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”), maturing June 2011 involving the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement, without exchange of the underlying principal amount.  Under the Swap, the Company receives interest equivalent to the one-month LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of interest of 2.925 percent with settlements occurring monthly.  The objective of the hedge is to eliminate the variability of cash flows in interest payments for $85,000 of floating rate debt.  To maintain hedge accounting for the Swap, the Company is committed to maintaining at least $85,000 in borrowings at an interest rate based on one-month LIBOR, plus an applicable margin, through June 2011.

 

In December 2009, the Company elected to de-designate the Swap as a hedge prospectively. As a result, changes in fair value from the date of de-designation are recognized through interest expense and other in the consolidated statement of income. For the six months ended September 30, 2010, $837 was recognized as a reduction to interest expense and other for the change in fair value of the Swap.

 

As of September 30, 2010, the total notional amount of the Company’s receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate swap was $85,000.  For the six months ended September 30, 2010, $594 of losses were reclassified into earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

The fair value of the interest rate swap of $1,695 and $2,527 as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively, were included in Other noncurrent liabilities.

8.             FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company follows the Fair Value Measurement 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

 

The following table provides the assets reported at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2010:

The fair value of the interest rate swap contract is determined using observable current market information as of the reporting date such as the prevailing LIBOR-based interest rate.  The fair value of the contingent earnout at the date of acquisition was $10,500 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 have not changed since the date of acquisition, with the exception of the present value factor.

 

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, 2010 and March 31, 2010 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.

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.

 

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.

10.          INCOME TAXES

 

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 derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

10.          INCOME TAXES (Continued)

 

The Company has classified uncertain tax positions as non-current 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, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties was $187 and $403, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $6,525 and $4,434, respectively, of which $6,566 and $3,331, respectively, would impact the effective rate, if recognized.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $2,232 as a result of the resolution of prior years tax examinations.  The Company increased unrecognized tax benefits by $1,783 as of  September 30, 2010 in connection with purchase accounting adjustments associated with the acquisition of Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc.  The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced due to the expiration of statutes of limitation for various tax issues in the next 12 months.

 

The Company has filed appeals in a prior state tax examination jurisdiction related to fiscal years ended March 31, 1999 through March 31, 2005.  The fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company believes appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

 

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was 36.2% reflecting the non-deductibility of certain acquisition-related expenses in the first quarter, as well as the absence of the Research and Development tax credit, which expired December 31, 2009.

 

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, 2006, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2007. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company was notified of an income tax examination by one state for the tax years ended March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2009.

12.          PENSION AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT 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 trust separate from us.

 

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 as of September 30, 2010. 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.

In October 2010, our largest union-represented group of production and maintenance employees ratified a new collective bargaining agreement.  The agreement provides for an increase in the pension benefits payable to covered employees who retire on or after November 1, 2010. The aforementioned changes will require remeasurement of affected plan’s assets and obligations, which will be completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Pension Plan Funding

 

We estimate that our total pension plan contributions during the remainder of fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 will be approximately $84,200.  This amount reflects the effects of relevant pension legislation.  No plan assets are expected to be returned to us in fiscal 2011.

 

13.          SEGMENTS

 

As further described below, beginning with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has modified its segment reporting in accordance ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting.

 

Through the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company had been organized based on the products and services that it provided. Under this organizational structure, the Company had two reportable segments: the Aerospace Systems Group and the Aftermarket Services Group. The Company evaluated performance and allocated resources based on operating income of each reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluated performance and allocated resources based upon review of segment information. The CODM utilized operating income as a primary measure of profitability.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company implemented certain internal organizational changes in an effort to align the operations reporting units.  Our reportable segments are aligned with how we manage the business and view the markets we serve. We now report our financial performance based on the following three reportable segments: the Aerostructures Group, the Aerospace Systems Group and the Aftermarket Services Group.  These changes affected how results are reported internally for management

review, but did not change any of the chief operating decision makers. As required by ASC Topic 280, all prior period information has been recast to reflect the realignment of reportable segments.

 

The Company’s Aerostructures Group consists of 22 operating locations, the Aerospace Systems Group segment consists of 23 operating locations and the Aftermarket Services segment consists of 13 operating locations at September 30, 2010.

 

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.

 

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 operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses identifiable with that segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs and any other costs not identifiable with one of the Company’s segments.  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.

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 (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.

 

On June 16, 2010, we announced the completion of the acquisition of Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. (“Vought”) from The Carlyle Group.  The acquired business is operating as Triumph Aerostructures-Vought Commercial Division and Triumph Aerostructures-Vought Integrated Programs Division.

 

Financial highlights for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 include:

 

·                  Net sales for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 increased 145.6% to $769.1 million, including 7.0% increase due to organic growth as compared to the prior year.

 

·                  Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 131.9% to $86.1 million, which included 19.0% increase due to organic growth, offset by $1.3 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of Vought.

 

·                  Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 101.9% to $41.8 million.

 

·                  Backlog increased to $4.04 billion due to the acquisition of Vought, having an organic increase of 15% from the prior year, and an organic increase of 5% sequentially from the prior quarter.

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, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA adjusted for acquisition-related costs associated with the acquisition of Vought. We disclose EBITDA and 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 measurement 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 non-cash income and expenses, such as amortization of acquired contract liabilities, depreciation and amortization, and non-operating items, such as interest and income taxes, provides additional information about our cost structure, and, over time, helps track our operating progress. In addition, investors, securities analysts and others have regularly relied on 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:

 

·                  Amortization of acquired contract liabilities may be useful for investors to consider because it represents the non-cash earnings on the fair value of below market contracts acquired through the acquisition of 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.

Table of Contents

 

·                  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 $455.9 million, or 145.6%, to $769.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $313.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The acquisition of Vought along with

Table of Contents

 

the acquisitions of Fabritech, Inc. (now Triumph Fabrications — St. Louis) and DCL Avionics, Inc. (now part of Triumph Instruments — Burbank), collectively, the “fiscal 2010 acquisitions,” contributed $433.9 million of the net sales increase.  Excluding the effects of the acquisition of Vought and the fiscal 2010 acquisitions, organic sales increased $22.0 million, or 7.0%. The prior year period was negatively impacted by the reduction in demand for business jets, major program delays (particularly in the 747-8 and 787 programs), the decline in the regional jet market due to the overall economy, lower passenger and freight traffic and airline inventory de-stocking. The current year continues to be negatively impacted by the decreased demand for business jets and regional jets as well as commercial rate reductions (particularly in the 777 program).

 

Cost of sales increased by $370.6 million, or 165.8%, to $594.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $223.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This increase includes the impact of the acquisition of Vought and the fiscal 2010 acquisitions noted above, which contributed $357.8 million. Excluding the effects of these acquisitions, gross margin was 29.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared with 28.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Organic gross margin improved due to a favorable settlement of a retroactive price agreement during the quarter, as well as increased sales in our Aftermarket Services segment, offset by increased warranty expenses.

 

Segment operating income increased by $52.7 million, or 123.8%, to $95.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $42.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  The segment operating income increase was a direct result of contributions from the acquisition of Vought and the fiscal 2010 acquisitions ($43.0 million), as well as improvement in organic gross margin ($3.0 million), decreased salaries and benefits due to lower headcounts for organic businesses ($1.4 million) and decreased legal expenses ($1.0 million). In addition, the prior year period was negatively impacted by the events described above.

 

Corporate expenses increased by $3.7 million, or 68.4%, to $9.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $5.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  The corporate expense increase was impacted by integration costs associated with the acquisition of Vought ($1.3 million), increased compensation and benefits ($1.0 million) due to increased corporate head count as compared to the prior year period, increases in workers compensation expense ($1.0 million) and an increase of $0.2 million of start up costs related to the Mexican facility compared to the prior year period.

 

Interest expense and other increased by $18.0 million, or 326.4%, to $23.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $5.5 million for the prior year period.  This increase was due to higher average debt outstanding during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 mostly due to the acquisition of Vought as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009, including the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”), the Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and the Term Loan, along with higher interest rates on our revolving credit facility.

 

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was 33.3% compared to 34.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  The effective income tax rate is impacted by reductions to unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the resolution of prior years’ tax examinations. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, the Company expects its effective income tax rate to be approximately 36%.

 

Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared with a loss from discontinued operations before income taxes of $1.3 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The loss from discontinued operations improved versus the prior year due to decreased headcount. The benefit for income taxes was $0.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to a benefit of $0.7 million in the prior year period.

 

Business Segment Performance

 

As further described below, beginning with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has modified its segment reporting in accordance ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting.

 

42



Table of Contents

 

Through the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company had been organized based on the products and services that it provided. Under this organizational structure, the Company had two reportable segments: the Aerospace Systems Group and the Aftermarket Services Group. The Company evaluated performance and allocated resources based on operating income of each reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluated performance and allocated resources based upon review of segment information. The CODM utilized operating income as a primary measure of profitability.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company implemented certain internal organizational changes in an effort to align the operations reporting units.  Our reportable segments are aligned with how we manage the business and view the markets we serve. We now report our financial performance based on the following three reportable segments: the Aerostructures Group, the Aerospace Systems Group and the Aftermarket Services Group.  These changes affected how results are reported internally for management review, but did not change any of the chief operating decision makers. As required by ASC Topic 280, all prior period information has been recast to reflect the realignment of reportable 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 thermal acoustic insulation systems.

 

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s operations that also manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The Aerospace Systems segment’s operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems and components, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators and mechanical control cables. Further, the segment’s operations also design and manufacture environmental control system ducts and non-structural cockpit components.

 

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 Aftermarket Services segment’s operations repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components and flight control surfaces. The Aftermarket Services 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, and the business jet 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.

The increase in our percentage of net sales of commercial aerospace and business jets was attributable to the acquisition of Vought, while the business jet and regional jet end-markets continue to decline in the current economy.  We continue to experience an increase in the mix of the commercial aerospace end-market. We also continue to experience growth in the military end-market.

Aerostructures: The Aerostructures segment net sales increased by $439.0 million, or 314.5% to $578.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $139.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to additional sales associated with the acquisition of Vought of $431.0 million, in addition to organic sales growth of $8.0 million. The prior year period was negatively impacted by reductions in the business jet and regional jet markets due to the overall economic conditions and major program delays (particularly in the 787 and 747-8 programs). The current year continues to be negatively impacted by the decreased demand for business jets and regional jets as well as commercial rate reductions (particularly in the 777 program).  On a pro forma basis assuming the acquisition of Vought occurred in the prior period, the current year was also negatively impacted by rate reductions to the C-17 program and decreased non-recurring sales associated with the transition to the 747-8 program.

 

Aerostructures segment operating income increased by $49.7 million, or 245.3% to $70.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $20.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Operating income increased due to contributions from the acquisition of Vought ($43.0 million), as well as improved gross margins on organic sales ($6.0 million) and decreases in salaries and benefits due to lower headcounts for organic businesses ($0.8 million). On a pro forma basis, operating income was negatively impacted by rate reductions to the C-17 program and decreased non-recurring sales associated with the transition to the 747-8 program.

 

Aerostructures segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales decreased to 12.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 14.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, due to lower margins contributed by the acquisition of Vought.

 

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $5.5 million, or 4.7%, to $123.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $118.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the additional sales associated with the acquisition of Fabritech of $2.9 million, in addition to organic sales growth of $2.6 million.

 

Aerospace Systems segment operating income decreased by $1.7 million, or 8.9%, to $17.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $18.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Operating income decreased due to increases in warranty reserves ($2.1 million), offset by contributions from the acquisition of Fabritech, as well as decreases in litigation ($1.1 million).

 

Aerospace Systems segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales decreased to 13.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 16.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, due to the lower margins contributed by the acquisition of Fabritech, as well as the net increases  in expenses discussed above.

 

Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $11.4 million, or 19.8%, to $68.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $57.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The prior year period was negatively impacted by a decline in global commercial air traffic and airline inventory de-stocking resulting in lower demand for the repair and overhaul of auxiliary power units and the brokering of similar units. While we expect segment net sales to continue to experience growth over our prior year, it is uncertain whether it will continue at the current growth rates.

 

Aftermarket Services segment operating income increased by $4.7 million, or 134.5%, to $8.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Operating income increased primarily due to increased sales volume as described above, as well as the gain on sale of certain intellectual property ($0.7 million) and decreased salaries and benefits ($0.5 million) due to lower headcounts. The results of our Phoenix, Arizona APU operations were accretive to the segment’s results.

Net sales increased by $546.1 million, or 86.8%, to $1.2 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $629.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  The Vought and fiscal 2010 acquisitions contributed an increase of $517.5 million to net sales. Excluding the effects of the Vought and fiscal 2010 acquisitions, organic sales increased $28.6 million, or 4.6%. The prior year period was negatively impacted by the reduction in demand for business jets, major program delays (particularly in the 747-8 and 787 programs), the decline in the regional jet market due to the overall economy, lower passenger and freight traffic and airline inventory de-stocking. The current year continues to be negatively impacted by the decreased demand for business jets and regional jets as well as commercial rate reductions (particularly in the 777 program).

 

Cost of sales increased $444.1 million or 99.2% to $891.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010, from $447.8 million for the six months ended September 31, 2009. This increase includes the impact of the Vought and fiscal 2010 acquisitions noted above, which contributed $427.7 million. Gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was 24.1%, as compared to 28.8% for the prior year period. Excluding the effects of the Vought and fiscal 2010 acquisitions, gross margin was 29.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2010, compared with 28.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

 

Segment operating income increased by $67.0 million, or 77.1%, to $153.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $86.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  Operating income increase was due to the contribution from the Vought and fiscal 2010 acquisitions ($51.4 million) and favorable settlements of retroactive pricing agreements, offset by costs related to the signing of a collective bargaining agreement.

 

Corporate expenses increased by $23.0 million, or 194.4%, to $34.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $11.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  Corporate expenses included $18.7 million of non-recurring acquisition-related transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Vought. Corporate expenses increased primarily due to increased compensation and benefits ($2.9 million) due to increased corporate head count as compared to the prior year period, increases in workers compensation expense ($1.0 million) and an increase of $0.5 million of start up costs related to the Mexican facility compared to the prior year period.

Interest expense and other increased by $24.4 million, or 225.6%, to $35.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $10.8 million for the prior year period.  This increase was due to higher average debt outstanding during the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2009, including the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”), the Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and the Term Loan, along with higher interest rates on our revolving credit facility.

 

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was 36.2% compared to 34.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  The effective income tax rate is impacted by the $18.5 million in acquisition-related expenses, which were only partially deductible for tax purposes, as well as the absence of the Research and Development tax credit, which expired December 31, 2009. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 36.0%.

 

Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was $0.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 compared with a loss from discontinued operations before income taxes of $4.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009, which included an impairment charge of $2.5 million from the first quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The loss from discontinued operations also improved versus the prior year due to decreased headcount. The benefit for income taxes was $0.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a benefit of $2.6 million in the prior year period.

Aerostructures: The Aerostructures segment net sales increased by $527.0 million, or 186.9%, to $809.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $282.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Vought ($513.0 million), in addition to an increase in organic sales of $14.0 million. The prior year period was negatively impacted by reductions in the business jet and regional jet markets due to the overall economic conditions and major program delays (particularly in the 787 and 747-8 programs). The current year continues to be negatively impacted by the decreased demand for business jets and regional jets as well as commercial rate reductions (particularly in the 777 program).  On a pro forma basis assuming the acquisition of Vought occurred in the prior period, the current year was also negatively impacted by rate reductions to the C-17 program and decreased non-recurring sales associated with the transition to the 747-8 program.

 

Aerostructures segment operating income increased by $62.3 million, or 142.3%, to $106.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $43.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Operating income increased due in part to the increase in organic sales, contributions from the acquisition of Vought ($43.0 million), improved gross margins on organic sales ($7.7 million) and decreased salaries and benefits due to lower headcounts for organic businesses ($1.4 million). On a pro forma basis, operating income was negatively impacted by rate reductions to the C-17 program and decreased non-recurring sales associated with the transition to the 747-8 program.

 

Aerostructures segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales decreased to 13.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 15.5% for the six months ended September 30, 2009, due to lower margins contributed by the acquisition of Vought.

 

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $3.9 million, or 1.7%, to $240.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $237.0 million for the six months ended

September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the additional sales associated with the Fabritech acquisition of $4.4 million, offset by slight decreases in organic sales of $0.5 million.

 

Aerospace Systems segment operating income decreased by $1.7 million, or 4.5%, to $35.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $37.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Operating income decreased due to decreases in organic gross margin ($4.4 million) due in part to increased warranty reserves and increases in salaries and benefits ($1.2 million), offset by decreased legal fees ($3.2 million).

 

Aerospace Systems segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales decreased to 14.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 15.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2009, due to the decrease in organic gross margin as discussed above.

 

Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $13.4 million, or 11.6%, to $128.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $115.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The prior year period was negatively impacted by a decline in global commercial air traffic and airline inventory de-stocking resulting in lower demand for the repair and overhaul of auxiliary power units and the brokering of similar units. While we expect segment net sales to continue to experience growth over our prior year, it is uncertain whether it will continue at the current growth rates.

 

Aftermarket Services segment operating income increased by $6.4 million, or 108.1%, to $12.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $5.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Operating income increased primarily due to decreased sales volume as described above, as well as $0.3 million in expenses incurred to shut down a service facility in Austin, Texas in the prior period.

 

Aftermarket Services segment operating income as a percentage of segment sales increased to 9.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared with 5.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2009, due to decline in sales volume offset by improved results at the Phoenix APU operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit arrangements and leasing arrangements.  During the six months ended September 30, 2010, we generated approximately $117.7 million of cash flows in operating activities, used approximately $387.4 million in investing activities and received approximately $169.6 million in financing activities.

 

Cash flows from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2010 increased $44.5 million, or 60.7% from the six months ended September 30, 2009. Our cash flows from operations increased due to an increase of $15.4 million in net income, which included $18.7 million in acquisition-related expenses for the acquisition of Vought. The increase in cash flows was also driven by continued improvements in cash collection efforts resulting in a $35.3 million improvement as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2009 as well as increases in accrued liabilities due to timing, offset by pension and other post-retirement benefit funding in excess of expense of $67.7 million, and $12.4 million of interest paid at closing on assumed debt from the acquisition of Vought.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2010 increased $368.0 million from the six months ended September 30, 2009.  Our cash flows used in investing activities increased due to the acquisition of Vought ($333.1 million), as well as increased capital expenditures of $27.2 million for our Mexican facility and Vought. Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2010 increased $211.7 million from the six months ended September 30, 2009 in order to finance the acquisition of Vought.

As of September 30, 2010, $390.0 million was available under our revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).  On September 30, 2010, an aggregate amount of approximately $97.1 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, all of which was accruing interest at LIBOR plus applicable basis points totaling 3.01% per annum.  Amounts repaid under the Credit Facility may be reborrowed.

 

At September 30, 2010, there was $75.0 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 2018 Notes for $350.0 million in principal amount.  The 2018 Notes were sold at 99.270% 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 semi-annually 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 $7.1 million of costs, which were deferred and are being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the notes.

 

Also in June 2010, the Company entered into a six-year Term Loan for $350.0 million in principal amount. The proceeds of the Term Loan, which were 99.500% of the principal amount, were used to consummate the acquisition of Vought. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the base rate (subject to a 2.50% floor), plus a margin between 1.750% and 2.000%, or at the Eurodollar Rate (subject to a 1.50% floor), plus a margin driven by net leverage between 2.750% and 3.000%. In connection with the closing on the Term Loan, the Company incurred approximately $7.5 million of costs, which were deferred and are being amortized into expense over the term of the Term Loan.

 

In November 2009, the Company issued the 2017 Notes for $175.0 million in principal amount.  The 2017 Notes were sold at 98.558% 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 semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which includes 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 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, resulting in net proceeds of $58.5 million after deducting debt issuance costs of approximately $0.2 million. In June 2009, the Company added additional capital leases resulting in proceeds of $6.7 million.  The net proceeds from the Leasing Facility were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s then existing credit facility. The debt issuance costs have been recorded as other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized over the term of the Leasing Facility. The Leasing Facility bears interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 6.2% per annum.

 

Also in March 2009, we announced that we would establish a new manufacturing facility in Zacatecas, Mexico to complement our existing manufacturing sites.  For the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company expensed $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in start up costs related to this Mexican facility.  Our investment will involve a significant number of our operating companies and a wide range of capabilities and technologies.

 

Capital expenditures were approximately $41.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010, primarily for manufacturing machinery and equipment.  We funded these expenditures through cash generated from operations.  We expect capital expenditures of approximately $90.0 million for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, including capital additions at our Mexican facility.  The expenditures are expected to be used mainly to expand capacity or replace old equipment at several facilities.

(1) Included in the Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2010, plus discounts on Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes, Term Loan, 2017 Notes and 2018 Notes of $6.3 million, $1.7 million, $2.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, being amortized to expense through September 2011, July 2016, 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 $6.6 million as of September 30, 2010 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 $1.5 million and $0.3 million in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.  As a result of the acquisition of Vought, we expect to make total pension and post-retirement plan contributions of $165.7 million to our defined benefit plans during fiscal 2011.  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, the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 and the Pension Protection Act of 2006. On June 25, 2010, the Preservation of Access to Care for Medical Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010 (the “Relief Act”), was signed into law. The Relief Act provides for temporary, targeted funding relief (subject to certain terms and conditions) for single employer and multiemployer pension plans that suffered significant losses in asset value due to the steep market slide in 2008. The Relief Act could have a significant impact on plan contributions beyond fiscal 2011.

 

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.

the Company’s critical accounting policies or in the assumptions or estimates used to prepare the financial information appearing in this report.

 

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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2010.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see “Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  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, 2010, 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, 2010.

 

(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.
