Certain financial information about our three segments is set forth in Note 212 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."
Effective April 2016, the Company announced that it is realigning into four business units to better meet the evolving needs of its customers. The new structure better supports our go-to-market strategies and will allow us to more effectively satisfy the needs of our customers while continuing to deliver on our commitments, accelerate organic growth and drive predictable profitability. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, our segment financial performance information will be presented in accordance with these new four business units.
The four business units are as follows:
Integrated Systems. Provides integrated solutions including design, development and support of proprietary components, subsystems and systems, as well as production of complex assemblies using external designs. Capabilities include hydraulic, mechanical and electro-mechanical actuation, power and control; a complete suite of aerospace gearbox solutions including engine accessory gearboxes and helicopter transmissions; active and passive heat exchange technology; fuel pumps, fuel metering units and Full Authority Digital Electronic Control fuel systems; hydro-mechanical and electromechanical primary and secondary flight controls; and a broad spectrum of surface treatment options.

Provides full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional and militaryaircraft.Triumph’s extensive product and service offerings include full post-delivery value chain services that simplify the MRO supply chain. Through its line maintenance, component MRO and postproduction supply chain activities, Triumph’s Product Support group is positioned to provide integrated planeside repair solutions globally. Capabilities include fuel tank repair, metallic and composite aircraft structures, nacelles, thrust reversers, interiors, auxiliary power units and a wide variety of pneumatic, hydraulic, fuel and mechanical accessories.
Proprietary Rights
We benefit from our proprietary rights relating to designs, engineering and manufacturing processes, and repair and overhaul procedures. For some products, our unique manufacturing capabilities are required by the customer's specifications or designs, thereby necessitating reliance on us for the production of such specially designed products.
We view our name and mark, as well as the Vought and Embee tradenames,trademark as significant to our business as a whole. Our products are protected by a portfolio of patents, trademarks, licenses or other forms of intellectual property that expire at various dates in the future. We continually develop and acquire new intellectual property and consider all of our intellectual property to be valuable. However, based on the broad scope of our product lines, management believes that the loss or expiration of any single intellectual property right would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, our financial position, or our business segments. Our policy is to file applications and obtain patents for our new products as appropriate, including product modifications and improvements. While patents generally expire 20 years after the patent application filing date, new patents are issued to us on a regular basis.
In our overhaul and repair businesses, OEMs of equipment that we maintain for our customers often include language in repair manuals that relate to their equipment, asserting broad claims of proprietary rights to the contents of the manuals used in our operations. There can be no assurance that OEMs will not try to enforce such claims, including the possible use of legal proceedings. In the event of such legal proceedings, there can be no assurance that such actions against the Company will be unsuccessful. However, we believe that our use of manufacture and repair manuals is lawful.
Raw Materials and Replacement Parts
We purchase raw materials, primarily consisting of extrusions, forgings, castings, aluminum and titanium sheets and shapes, and stainless steel alloys, from various vendors. We also purchase replacement parts, which are utilized in our various repair and overhaul operations. We believe that the availability of raw materials to us is adequate to support our operations.
Sales, Marketing and Engineering
While each of our operating companies maintains responsibility for selling and marketing its specific products, we have developed two marketing teams at the group level who are focused on cross-selling our broad capabilities. One team supports the AerostructuresIntegrated Systems and Aerospace Systems GroupsStructures and the other the Aftermarket Services Group.team supports Product Support. These teams are responsible for selling systems, integrated assemblies and repair and overhaul services, reaching across our operating companies, to our OEM, military, airline and air cargo customers. In certain limited cases, we use independent, commission-based representatives to serve our customers' changing needs and the current trends in some of the markets and geographic regions in which we operate.
The two group-level marketing teams operate as the front-end of the selling process, establishing or maintaining relationships, identifying opportunities to leverage our brand, and providing service for our customers. Each individual operating company is responsible for its own technical support, pricing, manufacturing, and product support. Also, within the Aerospace Systems Group,Product Support, we have created a group engineering function to provide integrated solutions to meet our customer needs by designing systems that integrate the capabilities of our companies.
Also, we are increasingly meeting our customers' needs by designing systems that integrate the extended capabilities of our companies.
A significant portion of our government and defense contracts are awarded on a competitive bidding basis. We generally do not bid or act as the primary contractor but will typically bid and act as a subcontractor on contracts on a fixed-price basis. We generally sell to our other customers on a fixed-price, negotiated contract, or purchase order basis.
When subcontracting, there is a risk of nonperformance by our subcontractors which could lead to disputes regarding quality, cost or impacts to production schedules. Additionally, economic environment changes, including Brexit, trade sanctions, tariffs, and budgetary constraints affecting the prime contractor and our subcontractors may adversely affect their ability to meet or support our performance requirements.
Backlog
We have a number of long-term agreements with several of our customers. These agreements generally describe the terms under which the customer may issue purchase orders to buy our products and services during the term of the agreement. These terms typically include a list of the products or repair services customers may purchase, initial pricing, anticipated quantities and, to the extent known, delivery dates. In tracking and reporting our backlog, however, we only include amounts for which we have actual purchase orders with firm delivery dates or contract requirements generally within the next 24 months, which primarily relate to sales to our OEM customer base. Purchase orders issued by our aftermarket customers are usually completed within a short period of time. As a result, our backlog data relates primarily to the OEM customers. The backlog information set forth below does not include the sales that we expect to generate from long-term agreements for which we do not have actual purchase orders with firm delivery dates.
As of March 31, 20162019, we had outstanding purchase orders representing an aggregate invoice price of approximately $4.15$3.74 billion,, of which $2.96$1.45 billion, $1.15$2.28 billion and $37$22 million relate related to the Aerostructures Group, theIntegrated Systems, Aerospace Systems GroupStructures and the Aftermarket Services Group,Product Support, respectively. As of March 31, 2015,2018, our continuing operations had outstanding purchase orders representing an aggregate invoice price of approximately $5.03$4.50 billion, of which $3.74$1.34 billion, $1.24$3.13 billion and $42$27 million related to the Aerostructures Group, theIntegrated Systems, Aerospace Systems GroupStructures and the Aftermarket Services Group,Product Support, respectively. The sharp decline in backlog was due to the production rate reductions on key programs such as Boeing 747-8, 777 and G450/G550. Of the existing backlog of $4.15$3.74 billion, approximately $1.50$1.45 billion will not be shipped by March 31, 2017.2020.
Dependence on Significant Customers
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 20152019, 2018, and 20142017, the Boeing Company ("Boeing") represented approximately 38%31%, 42%31% and 45%35%, respectively, of our net sales, covering virtually every Boeing plant and product.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 20152019, 2018, and 2014,2017, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation ("Gulfstream") represented approximately 12%11%, 9%13% and 8%12%, respectively, of our net sales, covering several of Gulfstream's products.
A significant reduction in sales to Boeing and/or Gulfstream wouldmay have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
United States and International Operations
Our revenues from customers in the United States for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 ,were approximately $3,088 million, $3,136 million, and $3,142 million, respectively. Our revenues from customers in all other countries for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, were approximately $798 million, $753 million, and $622 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, our long-lived assets located in the United States were approximately $2,746 million and $3,683 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, our long-lived assets located in all other countries were approximately $347 million and $367 million, respectively.
Competition
We compete primarily with Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerostructures manufacturers, systems suppliers and component manufacturers, some of which are divisions or subsidiaries of other large companies, in the manufacture of aircraft structures, systems components, subassemblies and detail parts. OEMs are increasingly focusing on assembly and integration activities while outsourcing more manufacturing and, therefore, are less of a competitive force than in previous years.
Competition for the repair and overhaul of aviation components comes from four primary sources, some of whom possess greater financial and other resources than we have: OEMs, major commercial airlines, government support depots, and other independent repair and overhaul companies. Some major commercial airlines continue to own and operate their own service centers, while others have begun to sell or outsource their repair and overhaul services to other aircraft operators or third parties. Large domestic and foreign airlines that provide repair and overhaul services typically provide these services not only for their own aircraft but for other airlines as well. OEMs also maintain service centers which provide repair and overhaul services for the components they manufacture. Many governments maintain aircraft support depots in their military organizations that maintain and repair the aircraft they operate. Other independent service organizations also compete for the repair and overhaul business of other users of aircraft components.
Participants in the aerospace industry compete primarily on the basis of breadth of technical capabilities, quality, turnaround time, capacity and price.
Government Regulation and Industry Oversight
The aerospace industry is highly regulated in the United States by the FAAFederal Aviation Administration ("FAA") and in other countries by similar agencies. We must be certified by the FAA and, in some cases, by individual OEMs, in order to engineer and service parts and components used in specific aircraft models. If material authorizations or approvals were revoked or suspended, our operations would be adversely affected. New and more stringent government regulations may be adopted, or industry oversight heightened, in the future and these new regulations, if enacted, or any industry oversight, if heightened, may have an adverse impact on us.
We must also satisfy the requirements of our customers, including OEMs, that are subject to FAA regulations, and provide these customers with products and repair services that comply with the government regulations applicable to aircraft components used in commercial flight operations. The FAA regulates commercial flight operations and requires that aircraft components meet its stringent standards. In addition, the FAA requires that various maintenance routines be performed on aircraft components, and we currently satisfy these maintenance standards in our repair and overhaul services. Several of our operating locations are FAA-approved repair stations.
Generally, the FAA only grants licenses for the manufacture or repair of a specific aircraft component, rather than the broader licenses that have been granted in the past. The FAA licensing process may be costly and time-consuming. In order to obtain an FAA license, an applicant must satisfy all applicable regulations of the FAA governing repair stations. These regulations require that an applicant have experienced personnel, inspection systems, suitable facilities and equipment. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate a need for the license. Because an applicant must procure manufacturing and repair manuals from third parties relating to each particular aircraft component in order to obtain a license with respect to that component, the application process may involve substantial cost.
The license approval processes for the European Aviation Safety Agency ("EASA"), which regulates this industry in the European Union,Union; the Civil Aviation Administration of China,China; and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities are similarly stringent, involving potentially lengthy audits. EASA was formed in 2002 and is handling most of the responsibilities of the national aviation authorities in Europe, such as the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority.
Our operations are also subject to a variety of worker and community safety laws. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 or OSHA,("OSHA"), mandates general requirements for safe workplaces for all employees in the United States. In addition, OSHA provides special procedures and measures for the handling of hazardous and toxic substances. Specific safety standards have been promulgated for workplaces engaged in the treatment, disposal or storage of hazardous waste. We believe that our operations are in material compliance with OSHA's health and safety requirements.
Environmental Matters
Our business, operations and facilities are subject to numerous stringent federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulation by government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). Among other matters, these regulatory authorities impose requirements that regulate the emission, discharge, generation, management, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, pollutants and contaminants, govern public and private response actions to hazardous or regulated substances which may be or have been released to the environment, and require us to obtain and maintain licenses and permits in connection with our operations. This extensive regulatory framework imposes significant compliance burdens and risks on us. Although management believes that our operations and our facilities are in material compliance with such laws and regulations, future changes in these laws, regulations or interpretations thereof or the nature of our operations or regulatory enforcement actions which may arise, may require us to make significant additional capital expenditures to ensure ongoing compliance or engage in the future.remedial actions.
Certain of our facilities, including facilities acquired and operated by us or one of our subsidiaries have at one time or another been under active investigation for environmental contamination by federal or state agencies when acquired, and at least in some cases, continue to be under investigation or subject to remediation for potential environmental contamination.remediation. We are frequently indemnified by prior owners or operators and/or present owners of the facilities for liabilities which we incur as a result of these investigations and the environmental contamination found which pre-dates our acquisition of these facilities, subject to certain limitations. We also maintain a pollution liability policy that provides coverage for certain material liabilities associated with the clean-up of on-site pollution conditions, as well as defense and indemnity for certain third-party suits (including Superfund liabilities at third-party sites), in each case, to the extent not otherwise indemnified. This policy applies to all of our manufacturing and assembly operations worldwide. Also, as we proceed with our plans to exit certain facilities as part of restructuring and related initiatives, the need for remediation for potential environmental contamination could be
identified. If we are required to pay the expenses related to environmental liabilities because neither indemnification nor insurance coverage is available, these expenses could have a material adverse effect on us.
Employees
As of March 31, 2016,2019, we employed 14,60210,776 persons, of whom 3,4652,539 were management employees, 12574 were sales and marketing personnel, 782502 were technical personnel, 889383 were administrative personnel and 9,3417,278 were production workers. Our segments were composed of the following employees: Aerostructures GroupIntegrated Systems - 9,5952,894 persons, Aerospace Systems GroupStructures - 3,5676,962 persons, Aftermarket Services GroupProduct Support - 1,311751 persons, and Corporate - 129169 persons.
Several of our subsidiaries are parties to collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. Under those agreements, we currently employ approximately 1,9072,101 full-time employees. Currently, approximately 13%19% of our permanent employees are represented by labor unions and approximately 51%63% of net sales are derived from the facilities at which at least some employees are unionized. The collective bargaining agreement with our union employees with International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("IAM") District 751 at our Spokane, Washington facility has expired. As of May 11, 2016, the workforce in Spokane of approximately 400 employees has elected to strike. While we are currently in negotiations with the workforce, we have implemented plans to continue production in Spokane with support from other locations. Of the 1,9072,101 employees represented by unions, 591no employees are working under contracts that have expired or will expire within oneexpired.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Stuart, Florida facility production and 475maintenance employees elected the United Autoworkers of America, Local #2505, to represent them in our Red Oak, Texascollective bargaining with the Company. As of March 31, 2019, the union and 386 employeesthe Company were still engaged in our Tulsa, Oklahoma facilities have not yet negotiated initial contracts. contract discussions.
Our inability to negotiate an acceptable contract with any of theseour labor unions could result in strikes by the affected workers and increased operating costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members. If the unionized workers were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage, or other employees were to become unionized, we could experience a significant disruption of our operations and higher ongoing labor costs, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Research and Development Expenses
Certain information about our research and development expenses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is available in Note 2 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."

Factors that have an adverse impact on the aerospace industry may adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.
A substantial percentage of our gross profit and operating income derivesresults derive from commercial aviation. Our operations have been focused on designing, engineering, manufacturing, repairing and overhauling a broad portfolio of aerostructures, aircraft components, accessories, subassemblies and systems. Therefore, our business is directly affected by economic factors and other trends that affect our customers in the aerospace industry, including a possible decrease in outsourcing by OEMs and aircraft operators or projected market growth that may not materialize or be sustainable. We are also significantly dependent on sales to the commercial aerospace market, which has been cyclical in nature with significant downturns in the past. When these economic and other factors adversely affect the aerospace industry, they tend to reduce the overall customer demand for our products and services, which decreases our operating income. Economic and other factors that might affect the aerospace industry may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and liquidity. We have credit exposure to a number of
commercial airlines, some of which have encountered financial difficulties. In addition, an increase in energy costs and the price of fuel to the airlines could result in additional pressure on the operating costs of airlines. The market for jet fuel is inherently volatile and is subject to, among other things, changes in government policy on jet fuel production, fluctuations in the global supply of crude oil and disruptions in oil production or delivery caused by hostility in oil-producing areas. Airlines are sometimes unable to pass on increases in fuel prices to customers by increasing fares due to the competitive nature of the airline industry, and this compounds the pressure on operating costs. Other events of general impact such as natural disasters, war, terrorist attacks againstaffecting the industry or pandemic health crises may lead to declines in the worldwide aerospace industry that could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
In addition, demand for our maintenance, repair and overhaul services is strongly correlated with worldwide flying activity. A significant portion of the MRO activity required on commercial aircraft is mandated by government regulations that limit the total time or number of flights that may elapse between scheduled MRO events. As a result, although short-term deferrals are possible, MRO activity is ultimately required to continue to operate the aircraft in revenue-producing service. Therefore, over the intermediate and long-term, trends in the MRO market are closely related to the size and utilization level of the worldwide aircraft fleet, as reflected by the number of available seat miles, commonly referred to as ASMs, and cargo miles flown. Consequently, conditions or events which contribute to declines in worldwide ASMs and cargo miles flown, such as those mentioned above, could negatively impact our MRO business.
We may not be successful in achieving expected operating efficiencies and sustaining or improving operating expense reductions, and may experience business disruptions associated with restructuring, facility consolidations, realignment, cost reduction and other strategic initiatives.
Over the past several years we have implemented a number of restructuring, realignment and cost reduction initiatives, including facility consolidations, organizational realignments and reductions in our workforce. While we have realized some efficiencies from these actions, we may not realize the benefits of these initiatives to the extent we anticipated. Further, such benefits may be realized later than expected, and the ongoing difficulties in implementing these measures may be greater than anticipated, which could cause us to incur additional costs or result in business disruptions. In addition, if these measures are not successful or sustainable, we may be compelled to undertake additional realignment and cost reduction efforts, which could result in significant additional charges. Moreover, if our restructuring and realignment efforts prove ineffective, our ability to achieve our other strategic and business plan goals may be adversely affected.
Changes in levels of U.S. Government defense spending or overall acquisition priorities could negatively impact our financial position and results of operations.
We derive a substantialsignificant portion of our revenue from the U.S. Government, primarily from defense relateddefense-related programs with the U.S. Department of Defense ("U.S. DoD"). Levels of U.S. defense spending in future periods are very difficult to predict and subjectmay be impacted by numerous factors such as the political environment, U.S. foreign policy, macroeconomic conditions and the ability of the U.S. Government to significant risks. enact relevant legislation such as authorization and appropriations bills.
In addition, significant budgetary delays and constraints have already resulted in reduced spending levels, and additional reductions may be forthcoming. In August 2011, theThe Budget Control Act (the "Act")of 2011 established limits on U.S. Government discretionary spending, including a reduction of defense spending by approximately $490 billion between the 2012 and 2021 U.S. Government fiscal years. The Act also provided that the defense budget would face “sequestration” cuts of up to an additional $500 billion during that same period to the extent that discretionary spending limits are exceeded. The impact of sequestration cuts has been reduced with respect to FY2016 and FY2017 following the enactment of The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 in November 2015. However,Accordingly, long-term uncertainty remains with respect to overall levels of defense spending and it is likely that U.S. Government discretionary spending levels will continue to be subject to significant pressure, including risk of future sequestration cuts.pressure.
In addition, there continues to be significant uncertainty with respect to program-level appropriations for the U.S. DoD and other government agencies (including NASA) within the overall budgetary framework described above. While the FY2016 appropriations enacted December 2015House and Senate
Appropriations committees included funding for Boeing’s major military programs in fiscal year 2019, such as F/A-18, CH-47 Chinook, AH-64 Apache, KC-46A Tanker, UH-60 Black Hawk, Northrop Grumman Global Hawk and P-8V-22 Osprey programs, uncertainty remains about how defense budgets in FY2017fiscal year 2020 and beyond will affect Boeing’sthese programs. We also expect that ongoing concerns regarding the U.S. national debt will continue to place downward pressure on DoD spending levels. Future budget cuts, including cuts mandated by sequestration, or future procurement decisions associated with the authorizations and appropriations process could result in reductions, cancellations, and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations, financial position and/or cash flows.
In addition, as a result of the significant ongoing uncertainty with respect to both U.S. defense spending levels and the nature of the threat environment, we expect the U.S. DoD to continue to emphasize cost-cutting and other efficiency initiatives in its
procurement processes. If we can no longer adjust successfully to these changing acquisition priorities and/or fail to meet affordability targets set by the U.S. DoD customer, our revenues and market share would be further impacted.
Cancellations, reductionsOur business could be negatively affected by cyber or delays in customer orders may adversely affect our results of operations.other security threats or other disruptions.
Our overall operating results are affected by many factors,businesses depend heavily on information technology and computerized systems to communicate and operate effectively. The Company's systems and technologies, or those of third parties on which we rely, could fail or become unreliable due to equipment failures, software viruses, cyber threats, terrorist acts, natural disasters, power failures or other causes. These threats arise in some cases as a result of our role as a defense contractor. Our customers, including the timing of orders from large customersU.S. Government, are increasingly requiring cybersecurity protections and the timing of expenditures to manufacture parts and purchase inventorymandating cybersecurity standards in anticipation of future sales ofour products and services. A large portionwe may incur additional cost to comply with such demands.
Cybersecurity threats are evolving and include, but are not limited to, malicious software; attempts to gain unauthorized access to our sensitive information, including that of our operating expenses are relatively fixed. Because severalcustomers, suppliers, subcontractors, and joint venture partners; and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in mission critical systems, unauthorized release of our operating locations typically doconfidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data.
Although we utilize various procedures and controls to monitor and mitigate these threats, there can be no assurance that these procedures and controls will be sufficient to prevent security threats from materializing. If any of these events were to materialize, the costs related to cyber or other security threats or disruptions may not obtain long-term purchase ordersbe fully insured or commitments from our customers, they must anticipate the future volume of orders based upon the historic purchasing patterns of customersindemnified and upon our discussions with customers as to their anticipated future requirements. These historic patterns may be disrupted by many factors, including changing economic conditions, inventory adjustments, or work stoppages or labor disruptions at our customers' locations. Cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by a customer or group of customers could have a material adverse effect on our business,reputation, operating results and financial condition and results of operations.condition.
Our acquisition strategy exposes us to risks, including the risk that we may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses.
We have a consistent strategy to grow, in part, through the acquisition of additional businesses in the aerospace industry and are continuously evaluating various acquisition opportunities, including those outside the United States and those that may have a material impact on our business. Our ability to grow by acquisition is dependent upon, among other factors, the availability of suitable acquisition candidates. Growth by acquisition involves risks thatsubstantial debt could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to operate and grow our business. The terms of our indentures governing our Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility impose significant operating results, including difficulties in integratingand financial restrictions on the operationsCompany and personnel of acquired companies, the risk of diverting the attention of senior managementour subsidiaries, which could also adversely affect our operating flexibility and put us at a competitive disadvantage by preventing us from our existing operations, the potential amortization of acquired intangible assets, the potential impairment of goodwillcapitalizing on business opportunities and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. Weadditional financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us.
The terms of our indentures governing our Senior Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and Securitization Facility (each as defined in Note 10 of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements”) impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, which limit our ability to incur liens, sell assets and enter into certain transactions, among other things. In addition, our debt instruments require us to maintain compliance with financial covenants.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate acquisitions on satisfactory termsmaintain compliance with the covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness in the future or, if any acquisitions are consummated, successfully integratewe fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders or amend the covenants. Failure to maintain compliance with these acquired businesses.

Our access to the debt capital markets and Space, represented approximately 38%the cost of borrowings are affected by a number of factors, including market conditions and the strength of our net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, covering virtually every Boeing plantcredit ratings. If we cannot obtain adequate sources of credit on favorable terms, or at all, our business, operating results, and product. Gulfstream represented approximately 12% of our net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, covering several Gulfstream plants and products. As a result, a significant reduction in purchases by Boeing and/or Gulfstreamfinancial condition could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, some of our other group companies rely significantly on particular customers, the loss of which could have an adverse effect on those businesses.be adversely affected.
The profitability of certain development and production programs depends significantly on the assumptions surrounding satisfactory settlement of claims and assertions.
For certain of our new development programs, we regularly commence work or incorporate customer-requested changes prior to negotiating pricing terms for engineering work or the product which has been modified. We typically have the legal right to negotiate pricing for customer-directed changes. In those cases, we assert to our customers our contractual rights to obtain the additional revenue or cost reimbursement we expect to receive upon finalizing pricing terms. An expected recovery value of these assertions is incorporated into our contract profitability estimates when applying contract accounting. Our inability to recover these expected values, among other factors, could result in the recognition of a forward loss on these programs or a lower than expected profit margin and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In
addition, negotiations over our claims may lead to disputes with our customers that would result in litigation and its associated costs and risks of damages, penalties and injunctive relief, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We incur risk associated with new programs.programs with new technologies.
New programs with new technologies typically carry risks associated with design responsibility, development of new production tools, hiring and training of qualified personnel, increased capital and funding commitments, ability to meet customer specifications, delivery schedules and unique contractual requirements, supplier performance, subcontractor performance, ability of the customer to meet its contractual obligations to us, and our ability to accurately estimate costs associated with such programs. In addition, any new aircraft program may not generate sufficient demand or may experience technological problems or significant delays in the regulatory certification or manufacturing and delivery schedule. If we were unable to perform our obligations under new programs to the customer's satisfaction or manufacture products at our estimated costs, if we were to experience unexpected fluctuations in raw material prices or supplier problems leading to cost overruns, if we were unable to successfully perform under revised design and manufacturing plans or successfully and equitably resolve claims and assertions, or if a new program in which we had made a significant investment was terminated or experienced weak demand, delays or technological problems, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. This risk includes the potential for
default, quality problems, or inability to meet weight requirements and could result in low margin or forward loss contracts, and the risk of having to write-off inventory or contract assets if itthey were deemed to be unrecoverable over the life of the program. In addition, beginning new work on existing programs also carries risks associated with the transfer of technology, knowledge and tooling.
In order to perform on new programs, we may be required to construct or acquire new facilities requiring additional up-front investment costs. In the case of significant program delays and/or program cancellations, we could be required to bear certain unrecoverable construction and maintenance costs and incur potential impairment charges for the new facilities. Also, we may need to expend additional resources to determine an alternate revenue generating use for the facilities. Likewise, significant delays in the construction or acquisition of a plant site could impact production schedules.
Future volatilityVolatility in the financial markets may impede our ability to successfully access capital markets and ensure adequate liquidity and may adversely affect our customers and suppliers.
Future turmoilTurmoil in the capital markets may impede our ability to access the capital markets when we would like, or need, to raise capital or may restrict our ability to borrow money on favorable terms. Such market conditions could have an adverse impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions and on our ability to fund our operations and capital expenditures in the future. In addition, interest rate fluctuations, financial market volatility, or credit market disruptions may also negatively affect our customers' and our suppliers' ability to obtain credit to finance their businesses on acceptable terms. As a result, our customers' need for and ability to purchase our products or services may decrease, and our suppliers may increase their prices, reduce their output or change their terms of sale. If our customers' or suppliers' operating and financial performance deteriorates, or if they are unable to make scheduled payments or obtain credit, our customers may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable owed to us, and our suppliers may restrict credit or impose different payment terms. Any inability of customers to pay us for our products and services or any demands by suppliers for different payment terms may adversely affect our earnings and cash flow.
Cancellations, reductions or delays in customer orders may adversely affect our results of operations.
Our overall operating results are affected by many factors, including the timing of orders from large customers and the timing of expenditures to manufacture parts and purchase inventory in anticipation of future sales of products and services. A large portion of our operating expenses are relatively fixed. Because several of our operating locations typically do not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments from our customers, they must anticipate the future volume of orders based upon the historic purchasing patterns of customers and upon our discussions with customers as to their anticipated future requirements. These historic patterns may be disrupted by many factors, including changing economic conditions, inventory adjustments, or work stoppages or labor disruptions at our customers' locations. Cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by a customer or group of customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant decline in business with a key customer could have a material adverse effect on us.
Boeing, or Boeing Commercial, Military and Space, represented approximately 31% of our net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, covering virtually every Boeing plant and product. Gulfstream represented approximately 11% of our net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, covering several Gulfstream plants and products. As a result, a significant reduction in purchases by Boeing and/or Gulfstream could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, some of our individual companies rely significantly on particular customers, the loss of which could have an adverse effect on those businesses. The Company was notified on April 5, 2019 of production rate adjustments planned by Boeing over the next several months on the 737 MAX from 52 to 42 airplanes per month. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial performance or forecasts, as the program historically has contributed a single digit percentage of annual revenue.
Our international sales and operations are subject to applicable laws relating to trade, export controls and foreign corrupt practices, the violation of which could adversely affect our operations.
We must comply with all applicable export control laws and regulations of the United States and other countries. United States laws and regulations applicable to us include the Arms Export Control Act, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR"), the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR") and the trade sanctions laws and regulations administered by the United States Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"). EAR restricts the export of dual-use products and technical data to certain countries, while ITAR restricts the export of defense products, technical data and defense services. The U.S. Government agencies responsible for administering EAR and ITAR have significant discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of these regulations. We cannot provide services to certain countries subject to United States trade sanctions unless we first obtain the necessary authorizations from OFAC. In addition, we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which generally bars bribes or unreasonable gifts to foreign governments or officials.
Violations of these laws or regulations could result in significant additional sanctions, including fines, more onerous compliance requirements, more extensive debarments from export privileges, loss of authorizations needed to conduct aspects of our international business and criminal penalties and may harm our ability to enter into contracts with the U.S. Government. A future violation of ITAR or the other regulations enumerated above could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any significant disruption from key suppliers of raw materials and key components could delay production and decrease revenue.
We are highly dependent on the availability of essential raw materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum and titanium, and purchased engineered component parts from our suppliers, many of which are available only from single customer-approved sources. Moreover, we are dependent upon the ability of our suppliers to provide raw materials and components that meet our specifications, quality standards and delivery schedules. Our expansionsuppliers' failure to provide expected raw materials or component parts could require us to identify and enter into international markets may increase credit, currency and other risks,contracts with alternate suppliers that are acceptable to both us and our current operationscustomers, which could result in international markets expose ussignificant delays, expenses, increased costs and management distraction and adversely affect production schedules and contract profitability.
We have from time to such risks.time experienced limited interruptions of supply, and we may experience a significant interruption in the future. Our continued supply of raw materials and component parts are subject to a number of risks, including:
As we pursue customers in Asia, South America and other less developed aerospace markets throughout availability of capital to our suppliers;
the world, our inability to ensure the creditworthinessdestruction of our customers in these areas could adversely impactsuppliers' facilities or their distribution infrastructure;
a work stoppage or strike by our overall profitability. In addition,suppliers' employees;
the failure of our suppliers to provide raw materials or component parts of the requisite quality;
the failure of essential equipment at our suppliers' plants;
the failure or shortage of supply of raw materials to our suppliers;
contractual amendments and disputes with operations in Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Thailandour suppliers;
reduction to credit terms; and the United Kingdom, and customers throughout the world, we will be subject to the legal, political, social and regulatory requirements and economic conditions of other jurisdictions. In the future, we may also make additional international capital investments, including further acquisitions of companies outside the United States or companies having operations outside the United States. Risks inherent to international operations include, but are not limited to, the following:
difficulty in enforcing agreements in some legal systems outside the United States;
imposition of additional withholding taxes or other taxes on our foreign income, tariffs or other restrictions on foreign trade and investment, including currency exchange controls;
fluctuations in exchange rates which may affect demand for our products and services and may adversely affect our profitability in U.S. dollars;
inability to obtain, maintain or enforce intellectual property rights;
changes in general economic and politicalgeopolitical conditions in the countriesglobal supply base.
In addition, some contracts with our suppliers for raw materials, component parts and other goods are short-term contracts, which are subject to termination on a relatively short-term basis. The prices of our raw materials and component parts fluctuate depending on market conditions, and substantial increases in prices could increase our operating costs, which, we operate;
unexpected adverse changes in the laws or regulatory requirements outside the United States, including those with respect to environmental protection, export duties and quotas;
failure byas a result of our employees or agents to comply with U.S. laws affecting the activities of U.S. companies abroad;
difficulty with staffing and managing widespread operations; and
difficulty of and costs relating to compliance with the different commercial and legal requirements of the countries in whichfixed-price contracts, we operate.
We may need additional financing for internal growth and acquisitions and capital expenditures and additional financing may not be available on terms acceptableable to us.
A key elementrecoup through increases in the prices of our strategy has been, and continuesproducts.
Due to be, internal growth supplemented by growth through the acquisition of additional aerospace companies and product lines. In order to grow internally,economic difficulty, we may needface pressure to make significant capital expenditures, such as investingrenegotiate agreements resulting in facilities in low-cost countries, andlower margins. Our suppliers may need additional capitaldiscontinue provision of products to do so. Our ability to grow is dependent upon, and may be limited by, among other things, access to markets and conditions of markets, availability under the Credit Facility and the Securitization Facility (each as defined in Note 10 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements") and by particular restrictions contained in the Credit Facility and our other financing arrangements. In that case, additional funding sources may be needed,us at attractive prices or at all, and we may not be able to obtain such products in the additional capital necessary to pursue our internal growthfuture from these or other providers on the scale and acquisition strategywithin the time periods we require. Furthermore, substitute raw materials or if we can obtain additional financing, the additional financingcomponent parts may not meet the strict specifications and quality standards we and our customers demand, or that the U.S. Government requires. If we are not able to obtain key products on a timely basis and at an affordable cost, or we experience significant delays or interruptions of their supply, revenues from sales of products that use these supplies will decrease.
Significant consolidation by aerospace industry suppliers could adversely affect our business.
The aerospace industry continues to experience consolidation among suppliers and customers, primarily as it pertains to the airlines. Suppliers have consolidated and formed alliances to broaden their product and integrated system offerings and achieve critical mass. This supplier consolidation is in part attributable to aircraft manufacturers more frequently awarding long-term sole-source or preferred supplier contracts to the most capable suppliers, thus reducing the total number of suppliers. This consolidation could cause us to compete against certain competitors with greater financial resources, market penetration and purchasing power. When we purchase component parts and services from suppliers to manufacture our products, consolidation reduces price competition between our suppliers, which could diminish incentives for our suppliers to reduce prices. If this consolidation continues, our operating costs could increase and it may become more difficult for us to be on financial terms that are satisfactory to us.successful in obtaining new customers.
Competitive pressures may adversely affect us.
We have numerous competitors in the aerospace industry. We compete primarily with the top-tier systems integrators and the manufacturers that supply them, some of which are divisions or subsidiaries of OEMs and other large companies that manufacture aircraft components and subassemblies. Our OEM competitors, which include Boeing, Airbus, Bell Helicopter, Bombardier, Cessna, General Electric, Gulfstream, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Rolls Royce and Sikorsky, may choose not to outsource production of aerostructures or other components due to, among other things, their own direct labor and overhead considerations, capacity utilization at their own facilities, and desire to retain critical or core skills. Consequently, traditional factors affecting competition, such as price and quality of service, may not be significant determinants when OEMs decide whether to produce a part in-house or to outsource. We also face competition from non-OEM component manufacturers, including Alenia Aeronautica, Fokker Technologies, Fuji Heavy Industries, GKN Westland Aerospace (U.K.), Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Spirit AeroSystems and UTC Aerospace Systems. Competition for the repair and overhaul of aviation components comes from three primary sources: OEMs, major commercial airlines and other independent repair and overhaul companies.
We may need to expend significant capital to keep pace with technological developments in our industry.
The aerospace industry is constantly undergoing development and change and it is likely that new products, equipment and methods of repair and overhaul service will be introduced in the future. In order to keep pace with any new developments, such as additive technology, we may need to expend significant capital to purchase new equipment and machines or to train our employees in the new methods of production and service.
The construction of aircraft is heavily regulated and failure to comply with applicable laws could reduce our sales or require us to incur additional costs to achieve compliance, and we may incur significant expenses to comply with new or more stringent governmental regulation.
The aerospace industry is highly regulated in the United States by the FAA and in other countries by similar agencies. We must be certified by the FAA and, in some cases, by individual OEMs in order to engineer and service parts, components and aerostructures used in specific aircraft models. If any of our material authorizations or approvals were revoked or suspended, our operations would be adversely affected. New or more stringent governmental regulations may be adopted, or industry oversight heightened in the future, and we may incur significant expenses to comply with any new regulations or any heightened industry oversight.
Our business could be materially adversely affected by product warranty obligations.
Our operations expose us to potential liability for warranty claims made by customers or third parties with respect to aircraft components that have been designed, manufactured, or serviced by us or our suppliers. Material product warranty obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not realize our anticipated return on capital commitments made to expand our capabilities.
We continually make significant capital expenditures to implement new processes and to increase both efficiency and capacity. Some of these projects require additional training for our employees and not all projects may be implemented as
anticipated. If any of these projects do not achieve the anticipated increase in efficiency or capacity, our returns on these capital expenditures may be lower than expected.
We may not be successful in achieving expected operating efficiencies and sustaining or improving operating expense reductions, and may experience business disruptions associated with restructuring, facility consolidations, realignment, cost reduction and other strategic initiatives.
Over the past several years, we have implemented a number of restructuring, realignment and cost-reduction initiatives, including facility consolidations, organizational realignments and reductions in our workforce. While we have realized some efficiencies from these actions, we may not realize the benefits of these initiatives to the extent we anticipated. Further, such benefits may be realized later than expected, and the ongoing difficulties in implementing these measures may be greater than anticipated, which could cause us to incur additional costs or result in business disruptions. In addition, if these measures are not successful or sustainable, we may be compelled to undertake additional realignment and cost reduction efforts, which could result in significant additional charges. Moreover, if our restructuring and realignment efforts prove ineffective, our ability to achieve our other strategic and business plan goals may be adversely affected.
Any product liability claims in excess of insurance may adversely affect our financial condition.
Our operations expose us to potential liability for personal injury or death as a result of the failure of an aircraft component that has been serviced by us or the failure of an aircraft component designed or manufactured by us. While we believe that our liability insurance is adequate to protect us from these liabilities, our insurance may not cover all liabilities. Additionally, as the number ofshould insurance companies providingmarket conditions change, general aviation product liability, insurance coverage has decreased in recent years, insurance coverage may not be available in the future at a cost acceptable to us. Any material liability not covered by insurance or for which third-party indemnification is not available could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
The lack of available skilled personnel may have an adverse effect on our operations.
From time to time, some of our operating locations have experienced difficulties in attracting and retaining skilled personnel to design, engineer, manufacture, repair and overhaul sophisticated aircraft components. Our ability to operate successfully could be jeopardized if we are unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of skilled personnel to conduct our business.
Our fixed-price contracts may commit us to unfavorable terms.
A significant portion of our net sales are derived from fixed-price contracts under which we have agreed to provide components or aerostructures for a price determined on the date we entered into the contract. Several factors may cause the costs we incur in fulfilling these contracts to vary substantially from our original estimates, and we bear the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profit or cause us to sustain losses on these contracts. In a fixed-price contract, we must fully absorb cost overruns, notwithstanding the difficulty of estimating all of the costs we will incur in performing these contracts. Because our ability to terminate contracts is generally limited, we may not be able to terminate our performance requirements under these contracts at all or without substantial liability and, therefore, in the event we are sustaining reduced profits or losses, we could continue to sustain these reduced profits or losses for the duration of the contract term. Our failure to anticipate technical problems, estimate delivery reductions, estimate costs accurately or control costs during performance of a fixed-price contract may reduce our profitability or cause significant losses on programs similar in nature to the forward losses incurred on the Boeing 747-8 ("747-8 program") and Bombardier Global 7000/80007500 contracts.
Due to the size and long-term nature of many of our contracts, we are required by GAAP to estimate sales and expenses relating to these contracts in our financial statements, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated under different assumptions or conditions.
Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These principles require our management to make estimates and assumptions regarding our contracts that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Contract accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract sales and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total sales and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. While we base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time made, actual results may differ materially from those estimated.
Any exposure to environmental liabilities may adversely affect us.
Our business, operations and facilities are subject to numerous stringent federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, and we are subject to potentially significant fines or penalties, including criminal sanctions, if we fail to comply with these requirements. In addition, we could be affected by future laws and regulations, including those imposed in response to climate change concerns and other actions commonly referred to as "green initiatives." Compliance with current and future environmental laws and regulations currently requires and is expected to continue to require significant operating and capital costs.
Pursuant to certain environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of a contaminated site may be held liable for the entire cost of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous materials at such property, whether orproperty. Innocent Landowner Regulations require an Environmental Site Assessment prior to acquisition to prevent unknowingly acquiring impaired
property. Once identified, if the transaction continues, the impairment is not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of any hazardous materials.covered by insurance. Although management believes that our operations and facilities are in material compliance with such laws and regulations, future changes in such laws, regulations or interpretations thereof or the nature of our operations or regulatory enforcement actions which may arise, may require us to make significant additional capital expenditures to ensure compliance in the future. Certain of our facilities, including facilities acquired and operated by us or one of our subsidiaries, have at one time or another been under active investigation for environmental contamination by federal or state agencies when acquired and, at least in some cases, continue to be under
investigation or subject to remediation for potential or identified environmental contamination.remediation. Lawsuits, claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue tomay arise in the future. Individual facilities of ours have also been subject to investigation on occasion for possible past waste disposal practices which might have contributed to contamination at or from remote third-party waste disposal sites. In some instances, we are indemnified by prior owners or operators and/or present owners of the facilities for liabilities which we incur as a result of these investigations and the environmental contamination found which pre-dates our acquisition of these facilities, subject to certain limitations, including, but not limited to specified exclusions, deductibles and limitations on the survival period of the indemnity. We also maintain a pollution liability policy that provides coverage, subject to specified limitations, for specified material liabilities associated with the clean-up of certain on-site pollution conditions, as well as defense and indemnity for certain third-party suits (including Superfund liabilities at third-party sites), in each case, to the extent not otherwise indemnified. Also, as we proceed with our plans to exit certain facilities as part of restructuring and related initiatives, the need for remediation for potential environmental contamination could be identified. However, if we are required to pay the expenses related to environmental liabilities because neither indemnification nor insurance coverage is available, these expenses could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our expansion into international markets may increase credit, currency and other risks, and our current operations in international markets expose us to such risks.
As we pursue customers in Asia, South America and other less developed aerospace markets throughout the world, our inability to ensure the creditworthiness of our customers in these areas could adversely impact our overall profitability. In addition, with operations in China, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Thailand and the United Kingdom, and customers throughout the world, we are subject to the legal, political, social and regulatory requirements, and economic conditions of other jurisdictions. In the future, we may also make additional international capital investments, including further acquisitions of companies outside the United States or companies having operations outside the United States. Risks inherent to international operations include, but are not limited to, the following:
difficulty in enforcing agreements in some legal systems outside the United States;
imposition of additional withholding taxes or other taxes on our foreign income, tariffs or other restrictions on foreign trade and investment, including currency exchange controls;
fluctuations in exchange rates which may affect demand for our products and services and may adversely affect our profitability in U.S. dollars;
inability to obtain, maintain or enforce intellectual property rights;
changes in general economic and political conditions in the countries in which we operate;
unexpected adverse changes in the laws or regulatory requirements outside the United States, including those with respect to environmental protection, export duties and quotas;
failure by our employees or agents to comply with U.S. laws affecting the activities of U.S. companies abroad;
difficulty with staffing and managing widespread operations; and
difficulty of and costs relating to compliance with the different commercial and legal requirements of the countries in which we operate.
Due to the size and long-term nature of many of our contracts, we are required by GAAP to estimate sales and expenses relating to these contracts in our financial statements, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated under different assumptions or conditions.
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These principles require our management to make estimates and assumptions regarding our contracts that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Accounting for revenue recognized over time requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract sales and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total sales and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. While we base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time made, actual results may differ materially from those estimated.
We could become involved in intellectual property litigation, which could have a material and adverse impact on our profitability.
We and other companies in our industry possess certain proprietary rights relating to designs, engineering, manufacturing processes, and repair and overhaul procedures. In the event that we believe that a third party is infringing upon our proprietary rights, we may bring an action to enforce such rights. In addition, third parties may claim infringement by us with respect to their proprietary rights and may initiate legal proceedings against us in the future. The expense and time of bringing an action to enforce such rights or defending against infringement claims can be significant. Intellectual property litigation involves complex legal and factual questions which makes the outcome of any such proceedings subject to considerable uncertainty. Not only can such litigation divert management's attention, but it can also expose the Company to damages and potential injunctive relief which, if granted, may preclude the Company from making, using, or selling particular products or technology. The expense and time associated with such litigation may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability.
Our acquisition strategy exposes us to risks, including the risk that we may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses.
We have historically had a strategy to grow, in part, through the acquisition of additional businesses in the aerospace industry and are continuously evaluating various acquisition opportunities, including those outside the United States and those that may have a material impact on our business. Our ability to grow by acquisition is dependent upon, among other factors, the availability of suitable acquisition candidates. Growth by acquisition involves risks that could adversely affect our operating results, including difficulties in integrating the operations and personnel of acquired companies, the risk of diverting the attention of senior management from our existing operations, the potential amortization of acquired intangible assets, the potential impairment of goodwill and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. We may not be able to consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms or, if any acquisitions are consummated, successfully integrate these acquired businesses.
We do not own certain intellectual property and tooling that is important to our business.
In our overhaul and repair businesses, OEMs of equipment that we maintain for our customers include language in repair manuals relating to their equipment asserting broad claims of proprietary rights to the contents of the manuals used in our operations. Although we believe that our use of manufacture and repair manuals is lawful, there can be no assurance that OEMs will not try to enforce such claims, including through the possible use of legal proceedings, or that any such actions will be unsuccessful.
Our business also depends on using certain intellectual property and tooling that we have rights to use pursuant to license grants under our contracts with our OEM customers. These contracts contain restrictions on our use of the intellectual property and tooling and may be terminated if we violate certain of these restrictions. Our loss of a contract with an OEM customer and the related license rights to use an OEM's intellectual property or tooling would materially adversely affect our business.
Any significant disruption from key suppliers of raw materials and key components could delay production and decrease revenue.
We are highly dependent on the availability of essential raw materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum and titanium, and purchased engineered component parts from our suppliers, many of which are available only from single customer-approved sources. Moreover, we are dependent upon the ability of our suppliers to provide raw materials and components that meet our specifications, quality standards and delivery schedules. Our suppliers' failure to provide expected raw materials or component parts could require us to identify and enter into contracts with alternate suppliers that are acceptable to both us and our customers, which could result in significant delays, expenses, increased costs and management distraction and adversely affect production schedules and contract profitability.
We have from time to time experienced limited interruptions of supply, and we may experience a significant interruption in the future. Our continued supply of raw materials and component parts are subject to a number of risks including:
availability of capital to our suppliers;
the destruction of our suppliers' facilities or their distribution infrastructure;
a work stoppage or strike by our suppliers' employees;
the failure of our suppliers to provide raw materials or component parts of the requisite quality;
the failure of essential equipment at our suppliers' plants;
the failure or shortage of supply of raw materials to our suppliers;
contractual amendments and disputes with our suppliers; and
geopolitical conditions in the global supply base.
In addition, some contracts with our suppliers for raw materials, component parts and other goods are short-term contracts, which are subject to termination on a relatively short-term basis. The prices of our raw materials and component parts fluctuate depending on market conditions, and substantial increases in prices could increase our operating costs, which, as a result of our fixed-price contracts, we may not be able to recoup through increases in the prices of our products.
Due to economic difficulty, we may face pressure to renegotiate agreements resulting in lower margins. Our suppliers may discontinue provision of products to us at attractive prices or at all, and we may not be able to obtain such products in the future from these or other providers on the scale and within the time periods we require. Furthermore, substitute raw materials or component parts may not meet the strict specifications and quality standards we and our customers demand, or that the U.S. Government requires. If we are not able to obtain key products on a timely basis and at an affordable cost, or we experience significant delays or interruptions of their supply, revenues from sales of products that use these supplies will decrease.
Our operations depend on our manufacturing facilities, which are subject to physical and other risks that could disrupt production.
Our manufacturing facilities or our customers' facilities could be damaged or disrupted by a natural disaster, war, or terrorist activity. We maintain property damage and business interruption insurance at the levels typical in our industry or for our customers and suppliers, however, a major catastrophe, such as an earthquake, hurricane, fire, flood, tornado or other natural disaster at any of our sites, or war or terrorist activities in any of the areas where we conduct operations could result in a prolonged interruption of our business. Any disruption resulting from these events could cause significant delays in shipments of products and the loss of sales and customers and we may not have insurance to adequately compensate us for any of these events. For leased facilities, timely renewal of leases and risk mitigation from the sale of our leased facilities is required to avoid any business interruption.
Our reputation; our ability to do business; and our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows may be impacted by the improper conduct of employees, agents, subcontractors, suppliers, business couldpartners or joint ventures in which we participate.
We have implemented policies, procedures, training and other compliance controls, and have negotiated terms designed to prevent misconduct by employees, agents or others working on our behalf or with us that would violate the applicable laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including laws governing improper payments to government officials, the protection of export controlled or classified information, cost accounting and billing, competition and data privacy. However, we cannot ensure that we will prevent all such misconduct committed by our employees, agents, subcontractors, suppliers, business partners or others working on our behalf or with us, and this risk of improper conduct may increase as we expand globally. In the ordinary course of our business we form and are members of joint ventures. We may be negatively affected by cyberunable to prevent misconduct or other security threatsviolations of applicable laws by these joint ventures (including their officers, directors and employees) or other disruptions.
Our businesses depend heavily on information technology and computerized systems to communicate and operate effectively. The Company's systems and technologies,our partners. Improper actions by those with whom or those of third parties on whichthrough whom we rely, could fail or become unreliable due to equipment failures, software viruses, cyber threats, terrorist acts, natural disasters, power failures or other causes. These threats arise in some cases as a result ofdo business (including our role as a defense contractor.
Cybersecurity threats are evolving and include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to our sensitive information, including that of our customers,employees, agents, subcontractors, suppliers, subcontractors,business partners and joint venture partners,ventures) could subject us to administrative, civil or criminal investigations and other electronic security breaches thatmonetary and non-monetary penalties, including suspension and debarment, which could leadnegatively impact our reputation and ability to disruptions in mission critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information, and corruption of data.
Although we utilize various procedures and controls to monitor and mitigate these threats, there can be no assurance that these procedures and controls will be sufficient to prevent security threats from materializing. If any of these events were to materialize, the costs related to cyber or other security threats or disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnifiedconduct business and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, operatingfinancial position, results and financial condition.
Significant consolidation by aerospace industry suppliers could adversely affect our business.
The aerospace industry continues to experience consolidation among suppliers and customers, primarily the airlines. Suppliers have consolidated and formed alliances to broaden their product and integrated system offerings and achieve critical mass. This supplier consolidation is in part attributable to aircraft manufacturers more frequently awarding long-term sole-source of operations and/or preferred supplier contracts to the most capable suppliers, thus reducing the total number of suppliers. This consolidation could cause us to compete against certain competitors with greater financial resources, market penetration and purchasing power. When we purchase component parts and services from suppliers to manufacture our products, consolidation reduces price competition between our suppliers, which could diminish incentives for our suppliers to reduce prices. If this consolidation continues, our operating costs could increase and it may become more difficult for us to be successful in obtaining new customers.
cash flows.
We may be subject to work stoppages at our facilities or those of our principal customers and suppliers, which could seriously impact the profitability of our business.
At March 31, 20162019, we employed 14,60210,776 people, of which 13.1%19.5% belonged to unions. Our unionized workforces and those of our customers and suppliers may experience work stoppages. For example, Theduring the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we settled a strike and agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement with our union employees with the IAM District 751 at our Spokane, Washington facility has expired. As of May 11, 2016,which had expired during the workforce in Spokane of approximately 400 employee has elected to strike.quarter. While we are currentlywere in negotiations with the workforce, we have implementedwere able to implement plans that allowed us to continue production in Spokane with the support from our other locations. Our union employees with Local 848 at our Red Oak, Texas and Local 952 at our Tulsa, Oklahoma, facilities of the United Auto Workers ("UAW") are currently working without a contract. If we are unable to negotiate a contract with those workforces, our operations may be disrupted and we may be prevented from completing production and delivery of products from those facilities, which would negatively impact our results. Contingency plans have been developed that would allow production to continue in the event of a strike.
Many aircraft manufacturers, airlines and aerospace suppliers have unionized workforces. Strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns experienced by aircraft manufacturers, airlines or aerospace suppliers could reduce our customers' demand for our products or prevent us from completing production. In turn, this may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Financial market conditions may adversely affect the benefit plan assets for our defined benefit plans, increase funding requirements and materially impact our statements of financial position and cash flows.
Our benefit plan assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of investments in both the equity and debt categories, as well as limited investments in other alternative investments. The current market values of all of these investments, as well as the related benefit plan liabilities are impacted by the movements and volatility in the financial markets. In accordance with the Compensation—Retirement Benefits topic of the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), we have recognized the over-fundedoverfunded or under-fundedunderfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability on our balance sheet, and will recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan's assets and the projected benefit obligation. A decrease in the fair value of these plan assets or a decrease in interest rates resulting from movements in the financial markets will increase the under-fundedunderfunded status of the plans recorded on our statement of financial positionconsolidated balance sheets and result in additional cash funding requirements to meet the minimum required funding levels.
The U.S. Government is a significant customer of our largest customers, and we and they are subject to specific U.S. Government contracting rules and regulations.
The military aircraft manufacturers' business, and by extension, our business, is affected by the U.S. Government's continued commitment to programs under contract with our customers. The terms of defense contracts with the U.S. Government generally permit the government to terminate contracts partially or completely, either for its convenience or if we default by failing to perform under the contract. Termination for convenience provisions provide only for our recovery of unrecovered costs incurred or committed, settlement expenses and profit on the work completed prior to termination. Termination for default provisions provide for the contractor to be liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered items from another source. On contracts where the price is based on cost, the U.S. Government may review our costs and performance, as well as our accounting and general business practices. Based on the results of such audits, the U.S. Government may adjust our contract-related costs and fees, including allocated indirect costs. In addition, under U.S. Government purchasing regulations, some of our costs, including most financing costs, portions of research and development costs, and certain marketing expenses may not be subject to reimbursement.
We bear the potential risk that the U.S. Government may unilaterally suspend our customers or us from new contracts pending the resolution of alleged violations of procurement laws or regulations. Sales to the U.S. Government are also subject to changes in the government's procurement policies in advance of design completion. An unexpected termination of, or suspension from, a significant government contract, a reduction in expenditures by the U.S. Government for aircraft using our products, lower margins resulting from increasingly competitive procurement policies, a reduction in the volume of contracts awarded to us, or substantial cost overruns could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are subject to the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual for facility security clearance, which is a prerequisite for our ability to perform on classified contracts for the U.S. Government.
U.S. DoD facility security clearance is required in order to be awarded and be able to perform on classified contracts for the U.S. DoD and certain other agencies of the U.S. Government, which is a significant part of our business. We have obtained clearance at
appropriate levels that require stringent qualifications, and we may be required to seek higher level clearances in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our security clearance. If for some reason our security clearance is invalidated or terminated, we may not be able to continue to perform our present classified contracts or be able to enter into new classified contracts, which could affect our ability to compete for and capture new business.
New regulationsRegulations related to conflict minerals have and will continue to force us to incur additional expenses, may make our supply chain more complex, and could adversely impact our business.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 contains provisions to improve transparency and accountability concerning the supply of certain minerals and metals, known as conflict minerals, originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (the "DRC") and adjoining countries. As a result, in August 2012, the SEC adopted annual investigation, disclosure and reporting requirements for those companies that manufacture or contract to manufacture products that contain conflict minerals that originated from the DRC and adjoining countries. We have and will continue to incur compliance costs, including costs related to determining the sources of conflict minerals used in our products and other potential changes to processes or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities. The implementation of these rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in certain of our products. As there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering "conflict free" minerals, we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain necessary conflict-free minerals from such suppliers in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Also, we may face reputational challenges if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not determined to be conflict free.
Our business is subject to regulation in the United States and internationally.
The manufacturing of our products is subject to numerous federal, state and foreign governmental regulations. The number of laws and regulations that are being enacted or proposed by various governmental bodies and authorities are increasing. Compliance with these regulations is difficult and expensive. If we fail to adhere, or are alleged to have failed to adhere, to any applicable federal, state or foreign laws or regulations, or if such laws or regulations negatively affect sales of our products, our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows may be adversely affected. In addition, our future results could be adversely affected by changes in applicable federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, including those relating to manufacturing processes, product liability, government contracts, trade rules and customs regulations, intellectual property, consumer laws, privacy laws, as well as accounting standards and taxation requirements (including tax-rate changes, new tax laws or revised tax law interpretations).
Brexit may have short-term and long-term adverse impacts on the Company's operations in the United Kingdom.
The Company’s United Kingdom operations represented approximately 4% of consolidated net sales for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. The outcome of Brexit could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In the short-term, volatility in the British pound sterling could continue as the United Kingdom negotiates its anticipated exit from the European Union. In the longer term, any impact from Brexit on the Company’s United Kingdom operations will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory, and other negotiations.

On May 25, 2016, the reported closing price for our common stock was $37.78. As of May 25, 2016,17, 2019, there were approximately 102150 holders of record of our common stock and we believe that our common stock was beneficially owned by approximately 30,00017,000 persons.
Dividend Policy
During fiscal 20162019 and 20152018, we paid cash dividends of $0.16 per share and $0.16 per share, respectively. However, our declaration and payment of cash dividends in the future and the amount thereof will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, limitations imposed by credit agreements or indentures governing debt securities and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. No assurance can be given that cash dividends will continue to be declared and paid at historical levels or at all. Certain of our debt arrangements, including the Credit Facility, restrict our paying dividends and making distributions on our capital stock, except for the payment of stock dividends and redemptions of an employee's shares of capital stock upon termination of employment. On May 2, 2016,The Company currently has an accumulated deficit which could limit or restrict our ability to pay dividends in the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share on its outstanding common stock. The dividend is next payable on June 15, 2016, to stockholders of record as of May 31, 2016.future.
Repurchases of Stock
In December 1998, we announced a program to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock. In February 2008, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company's existing stock repurchase program by up to an additional 500,000 shares of its common stock. In February 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company's existing stock repurchase program by up to an additional 5,000,000 shares of its common stock. During the fiscal yearyears ended March 31, 2016,2019, 2018, and 2017, we did not repurchase any shares. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we repurchased 2,923,011 and 300,000 shares, respectively, for a purchase price of $184.4 million and $19.1 million, respectively. From the inception of the program through March 31, 2013, we repurchased 499,200 shares (prior to the fiscal 2012 stock split) for a purchase price of $19.2 million. Repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, block purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at prevailing prices. No time limit has been set for completion of the program. As a result, as of May 27, 2016,23, 2019, the Company remains able to purchase an additional 2,277,789 shares.

Collectively, these transactions are referred to as the "fiscal 2019 divestitures". The Company recognized combined net losses of $235.3 million associated with the fiscal 2019 divestitures, which are presented on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations within loss on divestitures. With the exception of NAAS, the operating results for the fiscal 2019 divestitures are included in Aerospace Systems Group fromStructures ("fiscal 2019 Aerospace Structures Divestitures") through the respective dates of divestiture. The operating results for NAAS are included in Product Support through the date of acquisition.divestiture.

Our working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit arrangements. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016,2019, we generated$83.9used $174.4 million of cash flows from operating activities, used$128.0received $200.5 million in from investing activities and received$32.5 $32.5 million in from financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities in fiscal year 2015 was $467.3 million and included $112.3 million in pension contributions.2018 were $(288.9) million.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, theThe Company has committed to aseveral plans (which were initiated in fiscal 2016) that incorporated the restructuring of certain of its businesses as well as the consolidation of certain of its facilities ("facilities. As of March 31, 2019, with the exception of two remaining facility consolidations to be completed in fiscal 2020 and three pending facility closures to be completed in fiscal 2021 or 2022, the Company has substantially completed these plans. As a result, since fiscal 2016, Restructuring Plan"). Thethe Company expects to reducehas reduced its footprint by approximately 3.52.0 million square feet to date, with the reduction of an additional 2.0 million square feet to be upon completion of the 747-8 contract, and to reduce head countreduced headcount by 1,200approximately 2,500 employees. Over the next few fiscal years,course of these cost-reducing programs, the Company estimatesestimated that it willwould record aggregate pre-taxrelated pretax charges of $150.0$195.0 million to $160.0$210.0 million, related to these programs, which representrepresented employee termination benefits, contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation and facility closure and other exit costs, and will result in future cash outlays.costs. For the fiscal yearyears ended March 31, 2016,2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company recorded charges of $81.0$31.1 million, $43.1 million and $53.0 million, respectively, related to this program, including accelerated depreciationthese programs.
Our restructuring plans and related activities generate annualized savings of $22.4approximately $300 million per year on a consolidated basis from facility consolidations, headcount reductions, operational efficiencies, and severancesupply chain optimization. These savings resulted from our reportable segments approximately as follows: Integrated Systems - 23%; Aerospace Structures - 72% and Product Support - 5%. A significant portion of $16.3 million.the savings were reinvested in business development, research and development and capital improvements to help drive organic growth or to offset price reductions to customers.
We are currentlyFrom fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2019, our Aerospace Structures business unit had been performing workdesign, development and initial manufacturing on several new programs, which are in various stages of development. Several of the these programs are expected to enter flight testing during our fiscal 2017, including the Bombardier Global 7000/8000, and7500, the Embraer second generation E-Jet ("E2-Jets") and we expect to deliver revenue generating production units for these programs in late fiscal 2017, or early fiscal 2018.more recently, the Gulfstream G500/G600 programs. Historically, low-rate production commences during flight testing, followed by an
increase to full-rate production, assuming that successful testing and certification are achieved. Accordingly, we anticipate that each of these programs will begin generating full-rate production level revenues between fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2021. We are still in the early development stages for the Gulfstream G500/G600 programs, as these aircraft are not expected to enter service until fiscal 2019. Transition of each of these programs from development to recurring production levels is dependent upon the success of each program at achieving flight testing and certification, as well as the ability of the OEM to generate acceptable levels of aircraft sales.
Fiscal 2016 was a challenging year for certain of our new programs. While work progressed on these development programs, we have experienced difficulties in achieving estimated cost targets particularly in the areas of engineering and estimated recurring costs. As describedcosts which resulted in more detailforward losses. Additionally, from fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2019, our Aerospace Structures business unit experienced operating and forward losses on its production of the the Boeing 747-8 fuselage for Boeing, Gulfstream G280 wing for Israel Aerospace Industries, Ltd ("IAI") and Gulfstream G650 wing for Gulfstream. Further discussion is included below regarding each program's impact on operations over the past three fiscal years.

The initial provision for forward losses recorded in “Results of Operations”, we recorded a $399.8 million forward lossfiscal 2016 on our Bombardier Global 7000/8000 wing contract in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Global 7000/8000 contract provides for fixed pricing and requires us to fund certain up-front development expenses, with certain milestone payments made by Bombardier. The Global 7000/8000 program charge7500 resulted in the impairment of previously capitalized pre-production costs due to the combination of cost recovery uncertainty, higher than anticipated non-recurringnonrecurring costs and increased forecasted costs on recurring production. The increases in costs were driven by several factors, including: changing technical requirements, increased spending on the design and engineering phase of the program and uncertainty regarding cost reduction and cost recovery initiatives with our customer and suppliers. Further cost increases or an inability
On December 22, 2016, Triumph Aerostructures, LLC, the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was party to meet revised recurring cost forecaststhe Global 7500 contract with Bombardier (“Triumph Aerostructures”), initiated litigation against Bombardier in the Quebec Superior Court, District of Montreal. The lawsuit related to Bombardier’s failure to pay to Triumph Aerostructures certain nonrecurring expenses incurred by Triumph Aerostructures during the development phase of a program pursuant to which Triumph Aerostructures agreed to design, manufacture, and supply the wing and related components for Bombardier’s Global 7500 business aircraft.
In May 2017, Triumph Aerostructures and Bombardier entered into a comprehensive settlement agreement that resolved all outstanding commercial disputes between them, including all pending litigation, related to the design, manufacture and supply of wing components for Bombardier’s Global 7000 business aircraft. The settlement reset the commercial relationship between the companies and allowed each company to better achieve its business objectives going forward.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company continued to experience increase in costs on the Global 7000/8000 program may resultcompletion of the flight testing and anticipated ongoing production costs that resulted in additional forward loss reserves in future periods, while improvements in future costs comparedcharges of $60.4 million. In February 2019, the Company transitioned responsibility for the Global 7500 wing program
manufacturing operations of Aerospace Structures to current estimates may result in favorable adjustments if forward loss reserves are no longer required.Bombardier at which point Bombardier assumed the program’s assets and obligations.
E2-Jets
Under our contract with Embraer, we havehad the exclusive right to design, develop and manufacture the center fuselage section III, rear fuselage section and various tail section components (rudder and elevator) for the E2-Jets over the initial 600 ship sets. The contract providesprovided for funding on a fixed amount of non-recurringnonrecurring costs, which willto be paid over a specified number of production units. Higher than expected spending on the E2-Jets program has resulted in a low single digitnear break-even estimated profit margin percentage, with additional potential future cost pressures as well as opportunities for improved performance. While we still estimate positive margins for this contract, risksRisks related to additional engineering as well as the recurring cost profile remainsremain on this program.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with AeroSpace Technologies of Korea Inc. ("ASTK") to optimize the supply chain under our portion of the E2 program. Under this agreement, ASTK will build and transport fuselage shipsets to Embraer and establish a facility in Brazil to manage stock and repairs locally. At the time, the Company maintained its role as the supply chain integrator on the program.
In April 2019, we announced an agreement to assign our contract with Embraer for the manufacture of structural components for their program to ASTK. Under this agreement, we will remain a supplier to ASTK for the rudder and elevator components. We anticipate completion of the assignment to ASTK in the second half of fiscal 2020.
G500/G600
We are in the final development stages for the Gulfstream G500/G600 programs, as these aircraft are expected to enter service in fiscal 2020. Transition of each of these programs from development to recurring production levels is dependent upon the success of each program entersat achieving flight testing.testing and certification, as well as the ability of the OEM to generate acceptable levels of aircraft sales.
Further cost increases or an inability to meet revised recurring cost forecasts on the G500/G600 program may result in additional forward loss reserves in future periods, while improvements in future costs compared to current estimates or additional cost recovery may result in favorable adjustments if forward loss reserves are no longer required.
Boeing 747-8
As disclosed during fiscal 2016, Boeing announced a rate reduction to the 747-8 program, which lowered production to one plane every two months. The impact of the rate reduction resulted in additional forward loss during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.
In March 2017, the Company settled several outstanding change orders and open pricing on a number of its programs with Boeing. The agreement included pricing settlements, advanced payments, delivery schedule adjustments and the opportunity to extend the mutual relationship on future programs. The agreement also provided for continued build ahead on the 747-8 program through the end of the existing contract, resulting in a reduction to the previously recognized forward losses on the 747-8 program.
This program has stabilized with no additional forward losses being recognized in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 or 2018 and is anticipated to complete production by mid-fiscal 2021.
G280
We seek additional considerationacquired both the G280 and G650 wing programs in fiscal 2015 and received proceeds for customer$160.0 million as both contracts were operating at a loss. While operations have improved on the G650 since acquisition as noted further below, the cost profile of the G280 wing program has continued to result in forward loss charges, including $29.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
In April 2019, the Company and IAI reached an agreement to transition the manufacture of the G280 wing to IAI. The two companies have developed detailed transition plans to enable a seamless transition of work. Our contract with IAI will terminate upon completion of the transition of work. Our forward loss recognized in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, noted above includes the cost to transition, which is estimated to be completed in mid-fiscal 2021.
G650
In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company reached an agreement with Gulfstream to optimize the supply chain on the Company's G650 work statement changes throughoutscope. The G650 wing box and wing completion work, which had been co-produced across three facilities at both companies, are being consolidated into Gulfstream’s facilities in Savannah, Georgia. The Company maintains its role as the development process as a standard course of business. The abilitysupply chain integrator on the program and has since returned this contract to recover or negotiate additional consideration is not certain and varies by contract. Varying market conditions for these products may also impact futuremodest profitability.
Although none of these newthe development or production programs noted above individually are expected to have a material impact on our net revenues, they do have the potential, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially and negatively impact our consolidated results of operations if future changes in estimates result in the need for a forward loss provision. Absent any such loss provisions, we do not anticipate that any of these new programs will significantly dilute our future consolidated margins.
In January 2016, Boeing announced a rate reduction to the 747-8 program, which lowers production to one plane every two months. We have assessed the impact of the rate reduction and have recorded an additional $161.4 million forward loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. This announcement follows the September 2015 decision by Boeing to in-source production of the 747-8 program beginning in the second half of fiscal 2019, effectively terminating this program with us after our current contract. Additional costs associated with exiting the facilities where the 747-8 program is manufactured, such as asset impairment, supplier and lease termination charges, as well as severance and retention payments to employees and contractors have been included in the 2016 Restructuring Plan.
As disclosed during fiscal 2015, we also recognized a provision for forward losses associated with our long-term contract on the 747-8 program. There is still risk similar to what we have experienced on the 747-8 program. Particularly, our ability to manage risks related to supplier performance, execution of cost reduction strategies, hiring and retaining skilled production and management personnel, quality and manufacturing execution, program schedule delays and many other risks, will determine the ultimate performance of these long-term programs.
Consistent with ourthe Company's policy described in our Critical Accounting Policies here within, we performed Step 1 ofNote 2, the goodwill impairment testCompany performs an annual assessment in its fiscal fourth quarter and on an interim basis upon the occurrence of events or substantive changes in circumstances that indicate a reporting unit's faircarrying value may be less than its carryingfair value. During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, weyear ended March 31, 2018, the Company performed an interim assessment of the fair value of ourits goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets due to the Company's decision to combine the Aerospace Structures and Precision Components reporting segments into one reporting segment. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35-3C, there are several potential events and circumstances that could be indicators of impairment related to the continued declinegoodwill impairment. A change in our stock price during the third quarter.
Our assessment focused on the Aerostructuresa company's reporting unit sincestructure is one of these events, and when this does occur, a company must perform a "before and after" test of the reporting units. Additionally, the Company's enhanced visibility into its future cash flows based on its annual planning process was also an indicator. Consistent with the Company's policy, it had significant changes in its economic indicators and adjusted for select changes inperformed the risk adjusted discount rate to considergoodwill impairment test which includes using a combination of both the current return requirements of the market and the risks inherent in the reporting unit, expected long-term growth rate and cash flow projectionsincome approaches to determine if any decline inestimate the estimated fair value of aeach reporting unit could result in a goodwill impairment. Weunit.
After performing the "before" portion of the test of the reporting units the Company concluded that the goodwillformer Precision Components' reporting unit had a fair value that was not impairedlower than its carrying value by an amount of $190.2 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017, of $190.2 million, which is presented on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as impairment of intangible assets. The decline in fair value is the result of declining revenues from production rate reductions on sun-setting programs and the slower than previously projected ramp in our development programs and the timing of associated earnings and cash flows.
The Company then performed the "after" portion of the interim impairment assessment date. However, the excesstest of the reporting units and concluded that the new reporting unit of Aerospace Structures' goodwill had a fair value over thethat was lower than its carrying value was within 5%by an amount that exceeded the remaining goodwill for the Company's Aerostructures reporting unit. Following the applicable accounting guidance, this impairment charge is deemed to have occurred during the Company's fiscal fourth quarter. Therefore, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018, of $345.0 million, which is presented on the consolidated statements of operations as impairment of intangible assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The amountdecline in fair value is the result of goodwilldeclining revenues from production rate reductions on sun-setting programs and the slower than previously projected ramp in our development programs and the timing of associated earnings and cash flows (See Note 2 for our Aerostructures reporting unit amounted to $1.42 billion asdefinition of the interim testing date.fair value levels).
DuringIn the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, consistent with our policy described herein,2017, we performed our annual assessment of the fair value of our goodwill for each of our three reporting units. We concluded that the goodwill of our Aerostructuresrelated to the Aerospace Structures reporting unit was impaired as of the annual testing date. We concluded that the goodwill had an implied fair value of $822.8 million (Level 3) compared to a carrying value of $1.42 billion. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fourth quarter of the fiscal 2016year ending March 31, 2017, of $597.6$535.2 million, which is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statementsconsolidated statements of Operationsoperations as "Impairmentimpairment of intangible assets". The decline in fair value is the result of continued declines in stock price and related market multiples for stock price to EBITDA of both the Company and our peer group. Going forward, we will continue to monitor the performance of this reporting unit in relation to the key assumptions in our analysis.
In the event that market multiples for stock price to EBITDA in the aerospace and defense markets decrease, or the expected EBITDA and cash flows for our reporting units decreases, an additional goodwill impairment charge may be required, which would adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. If management determines that impairment exists, the impairment will be recognized in the period in which it is identified.assets.
During the third quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we performed an interim assessment of fair value on our indefinite-lived intangible assets due to potential indicators of impairment related to the continued decline in our stock price during the fiscal third quarter. We estimated the fair value2017, as part of the tradenames using the relief-from-royalty method, which uses several significant assumptions, including revenue projections that consider historical and estimated future results, general economic and market conditions, as well as the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The following estimates and assumptions were also used in the relief-from-royalty method:
•Royalty rates between 2% and 4% based on market observed royalty rates and profit split analysis; and
•Discount rates between 12% and 13% based on the required rate of return for the tradename assets.
Based on our evaluation, we concluded that the Vought tradename had a fair value of $195.8 million (Level 3) compared to a carrying value of $425.0 million. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, of $229.2 million, which is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Impairment of intangible assets". The decline in fair value compared to carrying value of the Vought tradename is the result of declining revenues from production rate reductions and the slower than previously projected ramp in Bombardier Global 7000/8000 and the timing of associated earnings.
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we performed ourCompany's annual assessment, of fair value on our indefinite-lived intangible assets. We estimated the fair value of the tradenames using the relief-from-royalty method, which uses several significant assumptions, including revenue projections that consider historical and estimated future results, general economic and market conditions, as well as the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The following estimates and assumptions were also used in the relief-from-royalty method:
•Royalty rates between 2% and 4% based on market observed royalty rates and profit split analysis; and
•Discount rate of 14% based on the required rate of return for the tradename assets, which increased from our interim assessment driven by increased risk due to continued declines in stock price and related market multiples for stock price to EBITDA of both the Company and our peer group and increased interest rates.
Based on our evaluation of indefinite-lived assets, including the tradenames, we concluded that the Vought and Embee tradenames had a fair value of $163.0 million (Level 3) compared to a carrying value of $209.2 million. The decline in fair value compared to carrying value of the tradenames is the result of the increase in discount rate during the fourth quarter, which required the Company to assess whether events and/or circumstances have changed regarding the indefinite-life conclusion. Accordingly, we revalued both the tradenames as if these intangible assets were no longer indefinite and recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, of $46.2 million, which is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Impairment of intangible assets". Additionally, we determined that the tradenames will be amortized over their remaining estimated useful life for the Vought tradename should be reduced from a useful life of 20 years.
years to a useful life of 10 years, as it better represents the expected period of benefit to the Company's financial performance.
In the event of significant loss of revenues and related earnings associated with the Vought and Embee tradenames,tradename, further impairment charges may be required, which would adversely affect our operating results.

Aswhich had expired during the quarter, resulting in a charge of May 11, 2016,$15.7 million due to disruption costs. During the workforce in Spokane of approximately 400 employees has elected to strike.

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 annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") guidance on Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations,rules, we also disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures in our public filings and earning releases. Currently, the non-GAAP financial measuremeasures that we disclose isare Adjusted EBITDA, which is our (loss) income from continuing operationsnet loss before interest, income taxes, amortization of acquired contract liabilities, legal settlements, loss on divestitures, depreciation and amortization; and Adjusted EBITDAP, which is Adjusted EBITDA, before pension expense or benefit, including the effects of curtailments, settlements, and other early retirement incentives and depreciation and amortization.incentives. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated and Adjusted EBITDAP on a consolidated and a reportable 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 towith our previously reported results of operations.
We view Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP as an operating performance measuremeasures and, as such, we believe that the U.S. GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to itsuch measures is income from continuing operations.net loss. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP, we exclude from (loss) income from continuing operationsnet loss 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. Adjusted EBITDA isand Adjusted EBITDAP are not a measurementmeasurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net (loss) income, (loss) income from continuing operations,loss, or as an indicator of any other measure of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDAP as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure, including net (loss) income or (loss) income from
continuing operations.loss. In addition, we urge investors and potential investors in our securities to carefully review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP to (loss) income from continuing operationsnet loss set forth below, in our earnings releases and in other filings with the SEC and to carefully review the U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP financial information with our Adjusted EBITDA.EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP.
Adjusted EBITDA isand Adjusted EBITDAP are 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 U.S. 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 20 years expanding our product and service capabilities, partially through acquisitions of complementary businesses. Due to the expansion of our operations, which included acquisitions, our (loss) income from continuing operationsnet loss has included significant charges for depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludesand Adjusted EBITDAP exclude these charges and providesprovide meaningful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from charges for depreciation and amortization. We believe the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our performance from quarter to quarter and from year to year. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is a measureand Adjusted EBITDAP are measures of our ongoing operating performance because the isolation of non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, and non-operating items, such as interest, and income taxes, pension and other postretirement benefits, 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 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP to provide a financial measuremeasures 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 (loss)net income from continuing operations to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP and the material limitations associated with using thisthese non-GAAP financial measuremeasures as compared to (loss)with net loss or income from continuing operations:
Gains or losses from divestitures may be useful for investors to consider because they reflect gains or losses from sale of operating units. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Legal settlements, when applicable, may be useful for investors to consider because it reflects gains or losses from disputes with third parties. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Curtailments,Non-service defined benefit income or expense from our pension and other postretirement benefit plans (inclusive of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 and certain pension related transactions such as curtailments, settlements, and early retirement incentivesincentives) may be useful for investors to consider because it representsthey represent the current period impactcost of postretirement benefits to plan participants, net of the change inassumption of returns on the defined benefit obligation due toplan's assets and are not indicative of the reduction in future service costs as well as the incremental cost of retirement incentive benefitscash paid to participants.for such benefits. We do not believe these earnings (expenses) necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Amortization of acquired contract liabilities may be useful for investors to consider because it represents the non-cash earnings on the fair value of off-market contracts acquired through acquisitions. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.
Amortization expense (including intangible asset impairments) may be useful for investors to consider because it represents the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of product rights and licenses. We do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash charges related to our operating cost structure.
Depreciation may be useful for investors to consider because it generally represents the wear and tear on our property and equipment used in our operations. We do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash charges related to our operating cost structure.
The amount of interest expense and other we incur may be useful for investors to consider and may result in current cash inflows or outflows. However, we do not consider the amount of interest expense and other to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business.
Income tax expense may be useful for investors to consider because it generally represents the taxes which may be payable for the period and the change in deferred income taxes during the period and may reduce the amount of funds otherwise available for use in our business. However, we do not consider the amount of income tax expense to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business.
Management compensates for the above-described limitations of using non-GAAP measures by using a non-GAAP measure only to supplement our U.S. GAAP results and to provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.

Net sales increases included the production ramp on Global 7500 of $232.5 million prior to transition. Organic sales adjusted for inter-segment sales increased $34.9 million, or 1.3%. The acquisition of Fairchildfiscal 2018 divestitures and fiscal 2019 divestitures, excluding the Global 7500 transition contributed $101.4 million to the net sales decrease as compared with the prior fiscal 2015 acquisitions contributed $355.3 million.year. Organic sales decreased $352.7 million, or (9.8)%, due to production rate cuts by our customers on the 747-8, V-22, G450/G550 and C-17 programs. The prior fiscal year was negatively impacted by our customers' decreased production rates on existing programs and decreased military sales.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded a $399.8 million forward loss charge for the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 wing program. Under our contract for this program, we have the right to design, develop and manufacture wing components over the initial 300 ship sets. The Global 7000/8000 contract provides for fixed pricing and requires us to fund certain up-front development expenses, with certain milestone payments made by Bombardier. The Global 7000/8000 program charge resulted in the impairment of previously capitalized pre-production costsincreased primarily due to the combination of cost recovery uncertainty,rate increases on key commercial programs and higher than anticipated non-recurring costs and increased forecasted costsvolumes on recurring production. The increasesmilitary programs in costs were driven by several factors, including: changing technical requirements, increased spending on the design and engineering phase of the program and uncertainty regarding cost reduction and cost recovery initiatives with our customer and suppliers. Further cost increases or an inability to meet revised recurring cost forecasts on the Global 7000/8000 program may result in additional forward loss reserves in future periods, while improvements in future costs compared to current estimates may result in favorable adjustments if forward loss reserves are no longer required.
In January 2016, Boeing announced a rate reduction to the 747-8 program, which lowers production to one plane every two months. We have assessed the impact of the rate reduction and have recorded an additional $161.4 million forward loss. This announcement follows the September 2015 decision by Boeing to in-source production of the 747-8 program beginning in the second half of fiscal 2019, effectively terminating this program with us after our current contract. Additional costs associated with exiting the facilities where the 747-8 program is manufactured, such as asset impairment, supplier and lease termination charges,Integrated Systems, as well as severance and retention payments to employees and contractors have been includedincreased demand for structural component repair in the 2016 Restructuring Plan.
Recognition of additional forward losses in the future periods continues to be a risk and will depend upon several factors, including the impactProduct Support, offset by decreased business jet sales from reduced scope of the above discussed production rate change, our ability to successfully perform under current design and manufacturing plans, achievement of forecasted cost reductions as we continue production, our ability to successfully resolve claims and assertions with our customers and suppliers and our customers' ability to sell their products.G650 wing.

Additionally, the adoption of which $561.2 million was relatedASU 2017-07 resulted in a change in estimates due to forward losses associated with the Bombardier and 747-8 programs. Excluding the aforementioned forward losses, the cumulative catch-up adjustments for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, reflected increased labor and supplier costs on other programs.a change in accounting principles of $87.2 million. Gross margins for fiscal 20152018 included net unfavorablefavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $156.0 million, of which $152.0 million was related to the forward losses on the 747-8 program.$19.7 million.

The decreasedan operating income is directly related to the provisions for forward losses and gross margin changes noted above and the previously mentioned goodwill and tradename impairment charges.
Corporate operations incurred expenses of $57.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, as opposed to income of $81.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. The fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, included the legal settlement between the Company and Eaton, which resulted in a net gain of $134.7 million.

Non-service defined benefit income decreased by $41.1 million, or 39.8%, to $62.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, compared with $103.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to nonrecurring income recognized in fiscal year 2018 from a curtailment of other post employment benefits of $26.3 million and changes in actuarial assumptions and experience which reduced income for fiscal year 2019 by $6.0 million.
The income tax benefit was $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, reflecting an effective tax rate of 1.7%. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company adjusted the valuation allowance of $155.8 million against the consolidated net deferred tax assets. Based onasset by $252,243 primarily due to an evaluationincrease in the net operating loss and changes to temporary differences related to ASC 606. As of both the positive and negative evidence available, weMarch 31, 2019, management determined that it was necessary to establishmaintain a valuation allowance against principally all of its net deferred tax assets.
As of March 31, 2019, we have a valuation allowance against substantially all of our net deferred tax assets forgiven the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.
Ainsufficient positive evidence to support the realization of our deferred tax assets. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance if needed, reduceson our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. A reduction in the valuation allowance could result in a significant decrease in income tax expense in the period that the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the reduction in our valuation allowance are unknown at this time and will be subject to the amount expected to be realized. When determining the amount of net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, expectedlevel we achieve as well as our projected income in future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods and the feasibility of ongoing tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent the evidence may be objectively verified. As such, it is generally difficult for positive evidence regarding projected future taxable income exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences to outweigh objective negative evidence of recent financial reporting losses.
Based on these criteria and the relative weighting of both the positive and negative evidence available, and in particular the activity surrounding the Company's prior earnings history, including the forward losses and intangible impairments previously recognized, management determined that it was necessary to establish a valuation allowance against principally all of its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2016. Given the objectively verifiable negative evidence of a three-year cumulative loss and the weighting of all available positive evidence, the Company excluded projected taxable income (aside from reversing taxable temporary differences) from the assessment of income that could be used as a source of taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets.
The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, was 31.7% and included the release of previously reserved for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.1 million, the benefit of $2.8 million from a decrease of the state deferred tax rate and the benefit of $6.0 million from the retroactive reinstatement of the R&D tax credit to January 1, 2014.

Business Segment Performance
We report our financial performance based on the following three reportable segments: the Aerostructures Group, theIntegrated Systems, Aerospace Systems GroupStructures, and the Aftermarket Services Group.Product Support. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure of profitability to evaluate performance of its segments and allocate resources.
The results of operations among our reportable segments, as well as our operating segments, vary due to differences in competitors, customers, extent of proprietary deliverables and performance. For example, our Aerostructures segment generally includes long-term sole-source or preferred supplier contracts and the success of these programs provides a strong foundation for our business and positions us well for future growth on new programs and new derivatives. This compares to our AerospaceIntegrated Systems, segment which generally includes proprietary products and/or arrangements where we become the primary source or one of a few primary sources to our customers, where our unique manufacturing capabilities command a higher margin. Also OEMs are increasingly focusing on assembly activities while outsourcing more manufacturing and repair to third parties, and as a result, are less of a competitive force than in previous years.

The level of unused borrowing capacity under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility varies from time to time depending in part upon its compliance with financial and other covenants set forth in the related agreement. The Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on specified levels of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and interest coverage requirements, and includes limitations on, among other things, liens, mergers, consolidations, sales of assets, payment of dividends and incurrence of debt.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015,2018, we had a net cash inflowoutflow of $467.3$288.9 million from operating activities, an inflow increasedecrease of $332.2$570.4 million, compared towith a net cash inflow of $135.1$281.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.2017. During fiscal 2015,2018, the increase in net cash provided byused in operating activities was primarily dueattributable to the cash received from legal settlement ($134.7 million), increaseddecreased receipts from customers and others relating to additional sales from fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 acquisitions ($110.4873.1 million), an income tax refund ($26.0 million), and decreased disbursements to employees, suppliers and others ($114.9 million) due to timing, offset by increased pension contributionsthe timing of payments on accounts payable and other accrued expenses driven by decreased pre-production costs, and net spending on the G280 and G650 Programs ($66.0407.2 million).
We investedcontinue to invest in inventory for new programs, and additional production costs for ramp-up activities in support of increasing build rates on several programs and build ahead for the relocationwhich impacts our cash flows from our largest facilities.operating activities. During fiscal 2015,2018, expenditures for inventory build for capitalized pre-production costs on new programs, excluding progress payments, including the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 and the Embraer E-Jet programs, were $127.0$384.9 million and $48.7$35.1 million, respectively. Offsetting thisAdditionally, inventory for mature programs declined due to decreased production rates and the utilization of build was a provision for forward losses on our long-term contract on the 747-8 program of $152.0ahead inventory, by approximately $144.4 million. Unliquidated progress payments netted against inventory increased $24.9$162.5 million due to timing of receipts. Capitalized pre-production costs are expected to continue to increase, while our production is expected to remain consistent overreceipts and resolution of open assertions.
Cash flows provided by investing activities for the next few quarters.
fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, increased $3.9 million from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. Cash flows provided by investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, included cash from the divestitures of TS-LI and Embee of $83.1 million offset by capital expenditures of $42.1 million. Cash flows used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, decreased by $178.8 million2017, included cash from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Cash flows used in investing activities included the cash received from the acquisitiondivestitures of Tulsa Programs ($160.0 million)TAS - Newport News and Engines and APU of $86.2 million, offset by the acquisitions of GE ($65.0 million) and NAAS ($43.7 million) and the working capital finalization of the acquisition of Primus ($13.0 million). The fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, included the fiscal 2014 acquisitions of $94.5 million and capital expenditures of $86.6 million associated with our new facilities in Red Oak, Texas.
Cash flows used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, were $395.2 million, compared to cash flows provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, of $103.2$51.8 million. Cash flows used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, included the redemption of the 2018 Notes, settlement of the Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes ("Convertible Notes") redemptions and the purchase of our common stock ($184.4 million), offset by the issuance of the 2022 Notes.
At March 31, 2016, $19.2 million of cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries and were primarily denominated in foreign currencies. If these amounts would be remitted as dividends, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. taxes, net of allowable foreign tax credits. We currently expect to utilize the balances to fund our foreign operations.
Subsequent to year end, to ensure that we had full access to our Revolving Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") during fiscal 2017, we obtained approval from the holders of the 2021 Notes to amend the terms of the indenture to conform with the 2022 Notes which allows for a higher level of secured debt. Absent this consent, we would have been restricted as to the level of new borrowings under the Credit Facility during fiscal 2017.
Further, to mitigate the risk of failing to obtain the consent and to ensure we had adequate liquidity through fiscal 2017, we chose to make a significant draw on the Credit Facility in early April 2016, taking the outstanding balance to approximately $800,000. We paid down substantially all of the draw to the Credit Facility upon receiving consent from the holders of the 2021 Notes in May 2016.
In May 2016, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among the Company, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent (the “Sixth Amendment” and the Credit Facility, as amended by the Sixth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which those lenders electing to enter into the Sixth Amendment extended the expiration date for the revolving line of credit and the maturity date for the term loan by five years to May 3, 2021. Lenders holding revolving credit commitments aggregating $940.0 million elected to extend the expiration date for the revolving line of credit, and Lenders holding approximately $324.5 million of term loans (out of an aggregate outstanding term loan balance of approximately $330.0 million) elected to extend the term loan maturity date.
In addition, the Sixth Amendment amended the Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) modify certain financial covenants to allow for the add-back of certain cash and non-cash charges, (ii) amend the total leverage ratio financial covenant to provide for a gradual reduction in the maximum permitted total leverage ratio commencing with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, (iii) increase the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing provisions for the highest pricing tier, (iv) establish the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing at the highest pricing tier until the Company
delivers its compliance certificate for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, (v) increase the minimum revolver availability threshold test in connection with the Company making certain permitted investments, certain additional permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of certain types of indebtedness, and (vi) decrease the maximum senior secured leverage ratio threshold test in connection with the Company making certain permitted investments, certain permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of certain types of indebtedness during the period from the date of the Sixth Amendment until the Company delivers its compliance certificate for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.
Capital expenditures were $80.0$47.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.2019. We funded these expenditures through cash from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility. We expect capital expenditures of approximately $80.0 million to $100.0 million and net investments in new major programs of $50.0 million
to $60.0 million of which will be reflected in inventory for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.2020. The expenditures are expected to be used mainly to expand capacity or replace old equipment at several facilities.

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.at least the next twelve months.
Loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, by reference to a base rate or a rate based on LIBOR, in either case plus an applicable margin determined quarterly based on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility for each fiscal quarter and fees in connection with the issuance of letters of credit. All outstanding principal and interest under the Credit Facility will be due and payable on the maturity date.
The Credit Facility contains representations, warranties, events of default and covenants customary for financings of this type, including, without limitation, financial covenants under which the Company is obligated to maintain on a consolidated basis, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, a certain minimum Interest Coverage Ratio maximum Total Leverage Ratio and maximum Senior Leverage Ratio (in each case as defined in the Credit Facility).
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that can have a significant impact on the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require the use of complex and subjective estimates based upon past experience and management's judgment. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. Below are those policies applied in preparing our consolidated financial statements that management believes are the most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions. For additional accounting policies, see Note 2 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. In determining the appropriate allowance, we consider a combination of factors, such as industry trends, our customers' financial strength and credit standing, and payment and default history. The calculation of the required allowance requires a judgment as to the impact of these and other factors on the ultimate realization of our trade receivables. We believe that these estimates are reasonable and historically have not resulted in material adjustments in subsequent periods when the estimates are adjusted to actual amounts.
Inventories
The Company records inventories at the lower of cost (average-cost or estimated net realizable value. Costs on long-term contracts and programs in progress represent recoverable costs incurred for productionspecific-identification methods) or contract-specific facilities and equipment, allocable operating overhead and advances to suppliers. Pursuant to contract provisions, agencies of the U.S. Government and certain other customers have title to, or a security interest in, inventories related to such contracts as a result of advances, performance-based payments, and progress payments. The Company reflects those advances and payments as an offset against the related
inventory balances.market. The Company expenses general and administrative costs related to products and services provided essentially under commercial terms and conditions as incurred. The Company determines the costs of inventories by the first-in, first-out or average cost methods.
Advance payments and progress payments received on contracts-in-process are first offset against related contract costs that are included in
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, work-in-process inventory with any remaining amount reflected in current liabilities.
Work-in-process inventory includeswas capitalized as pre-production costs. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 changes the Company's accounting for these pre-production costs.
Revenue Recognition and Contract Balances
The Company's revenue is principally from contracts with customers to provide design, development, manufacturing, and support services associated with specific customer programs. The Company policy allowsregularly enters into long-term master supply agreements that establish general terms and conditions and may define specific program requirements. Many agreements include clauses that provide sole supplier status to the Company for the capitalizationduration of pre-production costs after it establishesthe program’s life. Purchase orders (or authorizations to proceed) are issued pursuant to the master supply agreements. Additionally, a contractual arrangementmajority of the Company’s agreements with customers include options for future purchases. Such options primarily reduce the administrative effort of issuing subsequent purchase orders and do not represent material rights granted to customers. The Company generally enters into agreements directly with its customers and is the principal in all current contracts.
The identification of a contract with a customer for purposes of accounting and financial reporting requires an evaluation of the terms and conditions of agreements to determine whether presently enforceable rights and obligations exist. Management considers a number of factors when making this evaluation that include, but are not limited to, the nature and substance of the business exchange, the specific contractual terms and conditions, the promised products and services, the termination provisions in the contract, as well as the nature and execution of the customer’s ordering process and how the Company is authorized to perform work. Generally, presently enforceable rights and obligations are not created until a purchase order is issued by a customer for a specified number of units of product or services. Therefore, the issuance of a purchase order is generally the point at which a contract is identified for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
Management identifies the promises to the customer. Promises are generally explicitly statesstated in each contract, but managements also evaluates whether any promises are implied based on the terms of the agreement, past business practice, or other facts and circumstances. Each promise is evaluated to determine if it is a performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service. The Company considers a number of factors when determining whether a promise is contractual performance obligation, including whether the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, whether the Company provides a significant service of integrating goods or services to deliver a combined output to the customer, or whether the goods or services are highly interdependent. The Company’s performance obligations consist of a wide range of engineering design services and manufactured components, as well as spare parts and repairs for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
The transaction price for a contract reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for fully satisfying the performance obligations in the contract. Typically, the transaction price consists solely of fixed consideration but may include variable consideration for contractual provisions such as unpriced contract modifications, cost-sharing provisions, and other receipts or payments to customers. The Company identifies and estimates variable consideration, typically at the most likely amount the Company expects to receive from its customers. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for the contract will not occur, or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company's contracts with customers generally require payment under normal commercial terms after delivery with payment typically required within 30 to 120 days of delivery. However, a subset of the Company’s current contracts include significant financing components because the timing of the transfer of the underlying products and services under contract are at the customers’ discretion. For these contracts, the Company adjusts the transaction price to reflect the effects of the time value of money.
The Company generally is not subject to collecting sales tax and has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the transaction price any sales and other similar taxes collected from customers. As a result, any such collections are accounted for on a net basis.
The total transaction price is allocated to each of the identified performance obligations using the relative stand-alone selling price. The objective of the allocation is to reflect the consideration that the cost of recovery of pre-productionCompany expects to receive in exchange for the products or services associated with each performance obligation. Stand-alone selling price is the price at which the Company would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. Stand-alone selling prices are established at contract inception, and subsequent changes in transaction price are allocated on the same basis as at contract inception. When stand-alone selling prices for the Company’s products and services are not observable, the Company uses either the “Expected Cost Plus a Margin” or "Adjusted Market Assessment" approaches to estimate stand-alone selling price.

Capitalized pre-production costs include nonrecurring engineering, planning and design, including applicable overhead, incurred before production is manufactured on a regular basis. Significant customer-directed work changes can also cause pre-production costs to be incurred (see Note 5 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further discussion).
Revenue is recognized when or as control of promised products or services transfers to a customer and Profit Recognition
Revenuesis recognized at the amount allocated to each performance obligation associated with the transferred products or services. Service sales, principally representing repair, maintenance, and engineering activities are recognized in accordanceover the contractual period or as services are rendered. Sales under long-term contracts with the contract terms when products are shipped, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
A significant portion of our contracts are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-35, Revenue Recognition —Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and revenue and costs on contractsperformance obligations satisfied over time are recognized using either an input or output method. The Company recognizes revenue over time as it performs on these contracts because of the percentage-of-completion methodcontinuous transfer of accounting. Accountingcontrol to the customer as represented by contractual terms that entitle the Company to the reimbursement of costs plus a reasonable profit for work performed to manufacture products for which the revenue and profitCompany has no alternate use or for work performed on a contract requires estimates of (1) the contract value or total contractcustomer-owned asset.
With control transferring over time, revenue (2) the total costs at completion, which is equal to the sum of the actual incurred costs to daterecognized based on the contract and the estimated costs to complete the contract's scopeextent of work and (3) the measurement of progress towards completion. Depending on the contract, we measure progress toward completion using eitherof the performance obligation. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost input method of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as work progresses. Under the cost-to-cost method, or the units-of-delivery method, with the great majority measured under the units-of-delivery method.
Under the cost-to-cost method,extent of progress toward completion is measured asbased on the ratioproportion of total costs incurred to our estimate of total costs at completion. We recognize costs as incurred. Profit is determined based on our estimated profit margin on the contract multiplied by our progress toward completion. Revenue represents the sum of our 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 equaldate 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 our contracts can span multiple years, we often segment 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 of the performance obligation. The Company reviews its cost estimates on significant contracts on a periodic basis, or when circumstances change and estimated total profit are often required as work progresses underwarrant 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. Thesemodification to a previous estimate. Cost estimates are also sensitive to the assumed rate of production. Generally, the longer it takes to complete thelargely based on negotiated or estimated purchase contract quantity, the more relative overheadterms, historical performance trends and other economic projections. Significant factors that contract will absorb. The impact of revisions ininfluence these estimates include inflationary trends, technical and schedule risk, internal and subcontractor performance trends, business volume assumptions, asset utilization, and anticipated labor agreements.
Revenue and cost estimates isare regularly monitored and revised based on changes in circumstances. Impacts from changes in estimates of net sales and cost of sales are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period in which the revisions are made. Provisionscumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion. Forward loss reserves for anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in the period in which theyfull when such losses become evident, ("forward losses")to the extent required, and are first offset against costs that are included in inventory, with any remaining amount reflected in accrued contract liabilities in accordance with ASC 605-35. Revisions in contract estimates, if significant, can materially affect our results of operations and cash flows, as well as our valuation of inventory. Furthermore, certain contracts are combined or segmented for revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 605-35.on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016,2019, cumulative catch-up adjustments resulting from changes in contract values and estimated costs that arose during the fiscal year increased net sales, decreased operating (loss) income,loss, net (loss) incomeloss and earnings per share by approximately $(596.2)$7.9 million,, $(539.0) $(68.7) million, $(68.7) million and $(10.95)$(1.38), respectively. The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016,2019, included gross favorable adjustments of approximately $33.0$46.1 million and gross unfavorable adjustments of approximately $629.2$114.8 million. These cumulative catch-up adjustments do not include a non-cash charge the Company recorded as a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 of $87.2 million due to a change in estimate from a change in accounting principles, which includes provisions of $561.2 million for forward lossesis presented on the Bombardier and 747-8 programs.accompanying consolidated statements of operations within cost of sales.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015,2018, cumulative catch-up adjustments resulting from changes in estimates decreased operating loss, net loss and earnings per share by approximately $19.7 million, $13.5 million and $0.27, respectively. The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, included gross favorable adjustments of approximately $85.8 million and gross unfavorable adjustments of approximately $66.2 million.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, cumulative catch-up adjustments resulting from changes in estimates decreased operating income, net income and earnings per share by approximately $(156.0)$57.2 million,, $(106.6) $52.6 million and $(2.09),$1.07, respectively. The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015,2017, included
gross favorable adjustments of approximately $4.7$163.3 million and gross unfavorable adjustments of approximately $160.7$106.1 million, which includes a provision of $152.0 million forreduction to the previously recognized forward losses onof $131.4 million for the 747-8 program.

The cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, included gross favorable adjustments of approximately $14.3 million and gross unfavorable adjustments of approximately $67.5 million.
Amounts representing contract change orders or claims are only included in revenuetime when such change orders or claims have been settled with our customer andcontrol transfers to the extentcustomer. For performance obligations 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/orare satisfied at a point in time, the Company evaluates the point in time when the customer can direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the products and services. Generally, the shipping terms determine the point in time when control transfers to customers. Shipping and handling activities are not considered performance incentives. Such amounts or incentivesobligations and related costs are included in cost of sales as incurred.

Although fixed-price contracts, which extend several years into the future, generally permit us to keep unexpected profits if costs are less than projected, we also bear the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profit or cause the Company to sustain losses on the contract. In a fixed-price contract, we must fully absorb cost overruns, notwithstanding the difficulty of estimating allThe portion of the costs we will incur in performing theseCompany's revenue resulting from transactions other than contracts and in projecting the ultimate level of revenue that may otherwise be achieved.
As previously disclosed, we recognized a provision for forward losses associated with our long-term contract on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. There is still risk similar to what we have experienced on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. Particularly, our ability to manage risks related to supplier performance, execution of cost reduction strategies, hiring and retaining skilled production and management personnel, quality and manufacturing execution, program schedule delays and many other risks, will determine the ultimate performance of these long-term programs.
The Aftermarket Services Group provides repair and overhaul services, certain of which are provided under long-term power-by-the-hour contracts, comprising approximately 6% of the segment's fiscal 2016 net sales. 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 proportioncustomers pertains to the total estimatedamortization of acquired 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.liabilities discussed above.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. Under ASC 350, purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; rather, they are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Additionally, intangibleIntangible assets with finite lives continue to beare amortized over their useful lives. Upon acquisition, critical estimates are made in valuing acquired intangible assets, which include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from customer contracts, customer lists, and estimating cash flows from projects when completed; tradename and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time that customer relationships will continue; and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from the assumptions used in determining the fair values.
The Company's operating segments of Aerostructures,Integrated Systems, Aerospace SystemsStructures and Aftermarket ServicesProduct Support are also its reporting units under ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.units. The Chief Executive Officer is the Company's CODM.Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Company's CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon review of segment information. Each of the operating segments is comprisedcomposed of a number of operating units which are considered to be components under ASC 350.components. The components, for which discrete financial information exists, are aggregated for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.testing into three reporting units. The Company's acquisition strategy is to acquire companies that complement and enhance the capabilities of the operating segments of the Company. Each acquisition is assigned to either the AerostructuresIntegrated Systems reporting unit, the Aerospace SystemsStructures reporting unit or the Aftermarket ServicesProduct Support reporting unit. The goodwill that results from each acquisition is also assigned to the reporting unit to which the acquisition is allocated, because it is that reporting unit which is intended to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
The Company assesses whether goodwill impairment exists using both the qualitative and quantitative assessments. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If based on this qualitative assessment the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if
the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed using a two-step approachas required by ASC 350 to determine whether a goodwill impairment exists at the reporting unit.
The first step of the quantitative test is used to compare the carrying amount of the reporting unit's assets to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further workevaluation is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, then an impairment loss occurs. The impairment is measured by using the second step is required to be completed,amount by which involves allocatingthe carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unitnot to each asset and liability, with the excess being applied to goodwill. An impairment loss occurs ifexceed the amount of the recorded goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill. The determination of the fair value of our reporting units is based, among other things, on estimates of future operating performance of the reporting unit being valued. We are required to complete an impairment test for goodwill and record any resulting impairment losses at least annually. Changes in market conditions, among other factors, may have an impact on these estimates and require interim impairment assessments.
When performing the two-step quantitative impairment test, the Company's methodology includes the use of an income approach which discounts future net cash flows to their present value at a rate that reflects the Company's cost of capital, otherwise known as the discounted cash flow method ("DCF"). These estimated fair values are based on estimates of future cash flows of the businesses. Factors affecting these future cash flows include the continued market acceptance of the products and services offered by the businesses, the development of new products and services by the businesses and the underlying cost of development, the future cost structure of the businesses, and future technological changes. The Company also incorporates market multiples for comparable companies in determining the fair value of our reporting units. Any such impairment would be recognized in full in the reporting period in which it has been identified.
InConsistent with the Company's policy, the Company performs an annual assessment in its fiscal fourth quarter of fiscal 2016,and on an interim basis upon the Company performed the quantitative assessment, in lieuoccurrence of the qualitative assessment for each of the Company's three reporting units, which indicated that the fair value of goodwill for the Aerostructures reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amount. As a result we incurred an $597.6 million impairment of goodwill to the Aerostructures reporting unit. The assessment for the Company's Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services reporting units indicated that the fair value of their respective goodwill exceeded the carrying amount. We incurred no impairment of goodwill as a result of our annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal 2015 or 2014 (see Note 7 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further discussion).
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a $438.4 million indefinite-lived intangible asset associated with the Vought and Embee tradenames. The Company assesses whether indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment exists using both the qualitative and quantitative assessments. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or substantive changes in circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the faira reporting unit's carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset ismay be less than its carrying amount. If based on this qualitative assessmentfair value. No goodwill impairment was identified in the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed to determine whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment exists. We test the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value based on current revenue projections of the related operations, under the relief from royalty method. Any excess carry value over the amount of fair value is recognized as an impairment.year.
During the third quarter of theIn fiscal year ended March 31, 2016,2018, as required by ASC 350-20-35-3C, the Company performed an interim assessment of fair value on our indefinite-lived intangible assets due to potential indicators of impairment related to the continued decline in our stock price during the fiscal third quarter. Based on the Company's evaluation of indefinite-lived assets, including the tradenames, the Company concluded that the Vought tradename had a fair value of $195.8 million (Level 3) comparedits goodwill due to the Company's decision, effective January 1, 2018, to combine the Aerospace Structures and Precision Components reporting segments into one reporting segment. As a carryingresult of the change, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test which included using a combination of both the market and income approaches to estimate the fair value of $425.0 million. Accordingly,each reporting unit. As a result of the impairment test of each reporting unit, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016,2018, of $229.2$190.2 million, which is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statementsconsolidated statements of Operations as "Impairmentoperations within impairment of intangible assets".assets. The Company performed an impairment test of the new reporting unit of Aerospace Structure and recognized an impairment of $345.0 million, which is presented on the
consolidated statements of operations within impairment of intangible assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The decline in fair value is the result of declining revenues from sustained production rate reductions and sun-setting programs and the slower than previously projected ramp in our development programs and the timing of associated earnings and cash flows. The assessment for the Company's Integrated Systems and Product Support reporting units indicated that their fair value exceeded their carrying amounts.
In the fourth quarter of the fiscal 2016,year ended March 31, 2017, consistent with the Company's policy, the Company performed its annual impairment test for eachassessment of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets, which indicatedfair value of goodwill. The Company concluded that the Vought and Embee tradenamesgoodwill related to the Aerospace Structures reporting unit was impaired as of the annual testing date. The Company concluded that the goodwill had a fair value of $163.0 million (Level 3) compared to athat was lower than its carrying value by an amount that exceeded the remaining goodwill for the reporting unit. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fourth quarter of $209.2 million.the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, of $266.3 million, which is presented on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as impairment of intangible assets. The decline in fair value of the tradenames is the result of declining revenues from production rate reductions on sun-setting programs and the increaseslower than previously projected ramp in discount rate duringour development programs and the fourth quarter, which required the Company to assess whether events and/or circumstances have changed regarding the indefinite-life conclusion. As a result we incurred a non-cash impairment chargetiming of $46.2 million presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Impairment of intangible assets" to the Voughtassociated earnings and Embee tradenames. Additionally, it was determined that the tradenames will be amortized over their remaining estimated useful life of 20 years. We incurred no impairment of indefinite-lived assets as a result of our annual indefinite-lived assets impairment tests in fiscal 2015 or 2014 (see Note 7 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further discussion).cash flows.
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives ranging from 37 to 3230 years. WeThe Company continually evaluateevaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that would indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives of our long-lived
assets, including intangible assets, may warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are evaluated for indicators of impairment. When factors indicate that long-lived assets, including intangible assets, should be evaluated for possible impairment, an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the long-lived assets, including intangible assets, is used to measure recoverability.recoverability based on the primary asset of the asset group. Some of the more important factors we considermanagement considers include ourthe Company's financial performance relative to our expected and historical performance, significant changes in the way we manage ourthe Company manages its operations, negative events that have occurred, and negative industry and economic trends. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value,amount, measurement of the impairment will be based on the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the asset group, generally determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the use of the asset.
Acquired Contract Liabilities, net
In connection with several of our acquisitions, we assumed existing long-term contracts. Based on our review of these contracts, we concluded that the terms of certain contracts to be either more or less favorable than could be realized in market transactions as of the date of the acquisition. As a result, we recognized acquired contract liabilities, net of acquired contract assets as of the acquisition date of each respective acquisition, based on the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows of the executory contracts and the estimated cash flows had the contracts been executed at the acquisition date. The liabilities principally relate to long-term life of program contracts that were initially executed at several years prior to the respective acquisition (see Note 3 of "Notesnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements"consolidated financial statements for further discussion).
The acquired contract liabilities, net, are being amortized as non-cash revenues over the terms of the respective contracts. The Company recognized net amortization of contract liabilities of approximately $132.4$67.3 million,, $75.7 $125.1 million and $42.6$121.0 million in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 20152019, 2018, and 2014,2017, respectively, and such amounts have been included in revenues in our results of operations. The balance of the liability as of March 31, 2016,2019, is approximately $522.7$184.6 million and, based on the expected delivery schedule of the underlying contracts, the Company estimates annual amortization of the liability as follows 2017—$125.2 million; 2018—$117.5 million; 2019—$78.0 million; 2020—$59.7 million;68.5 million; 2021—$64.6 million; $59.7 million2022;—$23.7 million; 2023—$6.8 million; 2024—$7.5 million; Thereafter—$82.6 million.13.4 million.
Postretirement Plans
The liabilities and net periodic cost of our pension and other postretirement plans are determined using methodologies that involve several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate, the expected long-term rate of asset return and rate of growth for medical costs. The actuarial assumptions used to calculate these costs are reviewed annually or when a remeasurementre-measurement is necessary. Assumptions are based upon management's best estimates, after consulting with outside investment advisors and actuaries, as of the measurement date.
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we changed the method we use to estimateThe Company estimates the service and interest componentscost of net periodic benefit cost for ourits pension and other postretirement benefit plans. This new estimation approach discounts the individual expected cash flows underlying the service cost and interest costplans by applyingusing the specific spot rates derived from the yield curve used to discount the cash flows reflected in the measurement of the benefit obligation. Historically, we estimated these service and interest cost components utilizingThe Company believes this approach provides a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period.
We made this change to provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improvingdue to the correlation between projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates. We have accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate that is inseparable from a change in accounting principle pursuant to ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and accordingly have accounted for it prospectively. While the benefit obligation measured under this approach is unchanged from that determined under the prior approach, the more granular application of the spot rates will reduce the service and interest cost for the pension and OPEB plans for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, by approximately $20.0 million. The spot rates used to determine service and interest costs for the U.S. plans ranged from 0.60% to 9.75%. Under the Company’s prior methodology, these rates would have resulted in weighted-average rates for service cost and interest cost of 3.86% for the U.S. pension plans and 3.73% for the OPEB plans. The new approach will be used to measure the service cost and interest cost for our pension and OPEB plans for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.
Effective April 1, 2015, the Company changed the period over whichamortizes actuarial gains and losses are being amortized for its U.S. pension plans from the average remaining future service period of active plan participants toover the average life expectancy of inactive plan participants. This change was madeparticipants because the Company has determined that as of that date almost all plan participants are inactive.
The accounting corridor is a defined range within which amortization of net gains and losses is not required. The discount rates at March 31, 2016,2019, ranged from 3.252.54 - 3.93%3.88% compared towith a weighted-average of 3.78%2.65 - 4.01% at March 31, 2015.2018.
The assumed expected long-term rate of return on assets is the weighted-average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the Projected Benefit Obligation ("PBO"). The expected average long-term rate of return on assets is based on several factors, including actual historical market index returns, anticipated long-term performance of individual asset classes with consideration given to the related investment strategy, plan expenses and the potential to outperform market index returns. This rate is utilized principally in calculating the expected return on plan assets component of the annual pension expense. To the extent the actual rate of return on assets realized over the course of a year differs from the assumed rate, that year's annual pension expense is not affected. The gain or loss reduces or increases future pension expense over the average remaining life expectancy of inactive plan participants. The expected long-term rate of return for fiscal 2016, 20152019, 2018 and 2014,2017, was 6.505.00 - 8.25%8.00%. The expected long-term rate of return for fiscal 20172020 will be 5.00 - 8.00%.
In addition to our defined benefit pension plans, we provide certain healthcarehealth care and life insurance benefits for some retired employees. Such benefits are unfunded as of March 31, 2016.2019. 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 eligible 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 our right to amend or terminate the plans at any time, subject to applicable collective bargaining requirements for represented employees. From time to time, we have made changes 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 ASC 715, Compensation—Retirement Benefits, we recognized the funded status of our benefit obligation. This funded status is remeasured as of our annual remeasurement date. 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, we determined the fair value of the plan assets. The majority of our 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 as of the remeasurement date based on our evaluation of data from fund managers and comparable market data.
The Company periodically experiences events or makes changes to its benefit plans that result in curtailment or special charges. Curtailments are recognized when events occur that significantly reduce the expected years of future service of present employees or eliminates the benefits for a significant number of employees for some or all of their future service.
Curtailment losses are recognized when it is probable the curtailment will occur and the effects are reasonably estimable. Curtailment gains are recognized when the related employees are terminated or a plan amendment is adopted, whichever is applicable.
As required under ASC 715, the Company remeasures plan assets and obligations during an interim period whenever a significant event occurs that results in a material change in the net periodic pension cost. The determination of significance is based on judgment and consideration of events and circumstances impacting the pension costs.
See Note 15 of "Notesnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements"consolidated financial statements for a summary of the key events that affected our net periodic benefit cost and obligations that occurred during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 20152019, 2018, and 2014.2017.
Pension income, excluding curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits (early retirement incentives) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016,2019, was $57.2$51.5 million compared with pension income of $52.4$61.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015,2018, and $35.0$66.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.2017. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017,2020, the Company expects to recognize pension income of approximately $66.5$44.2 million.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). The guidance in ASU 2018-02 allows an entity to elect to reclassify the stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) from accumulated other comprehensive income into retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2018-02 effective April 1, 2019, and have elected not to reclassify any amounts recognized in other comprehensive income into accumulated deficit.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"), which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements and expands disclosures about leasing arrangements for both lessees and lessors, among other items. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which makes the new standard effective for us on April 1, 2019. The Company may apply the transition provisions of ASU 2016-02, as amended, either at the beginning of the earliest period presented in our fiscal year 2020 Form 10-K, which would be April 1, 2018, or on the effective date of adoption, which would be April 1, 2019. Among other requirements, the transition provisions require the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and liability for most existing lease arrangements on the date the transition provisions are applied. The Company has elected to apply the transition provisions of this new standard on April 1, 2019. Therefore, periods prior to the effective date of adoption will continue to be reported using current GAAP.
The Company has identified and evaluated the key terms of all of its active leases as of the adoption date and has designed and implemented the appropriate controls to comply with the adoption requirements of ASC 842. The Company is in the process of designing and implementing controls to comply with the prospective accounting and financial reporting requirements of ASC 842 and will complete implementation during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is the lessee in substantially all of its lease arrangements. The Company adopted the standard by applying the "package of practical expedients" provided by ASC 842 and did not elect to apply the practical expedient pertaining to the use of hindsight. The Company will also make certain accounting policy elections that are available under ASC 842, including (i) the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning that for these leases, the Company would not recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets or lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and (ii) the election to use the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for certain classes of assets, meaning that for these leases, the cash flows related to certain non-lease components are included in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability balances on its consolidated balance sheets.

footnotes. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Full retrospective application is prohibited.

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 management's beliefs concerning future performance and capital requirements based upon current available information. Such statements are based on management's beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. 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 management's 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 segments, dependence of certain of our businesses on certain key customers, the risk that we will not realize all of the anticipated benefits from acquisitions as well as competitive factors relating to the aerospace industry. For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors affecting us, see the risk factors described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors."

| Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Commodity Price Risk
Some contracts with our suppliers for raw materials, component parts and other goods are short-term contracts, which are subject to termination on a relatively short-term basis. The prices of our raw materials and component parts fluctuate depending on market conditions, and substantial increases in prices could increase our operating costs, which, as a result of our fixed-price contracts, we may not be able to recoup through increases in the prices of our products. We generally do not employ forward contracts or other financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk, although we continue to review a full range of business options focused on strategic risk management for all material commodities.
Any failure by our suppliers to provide acceptable raw materials, components, kits or subassemblies could adversely affect our production schedules and contract profitability. We assess qualification of suppliers and continually monitor them to control risk associated with such supply base reliance.
To a lesser extent, we also are exposed to fluctuations in the prices of certain utilities and services, such as electricity, natural gas, chemicals and freight. We utilize a range of long-term agreements to minimize procurement expense and supply risk in these areas.
Foreign Exchange Risk
In addition, even when revenues and expenses are matched, we must translate foreign denominated results of operations, assets and liabilities for our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars in our consolidated financial statements. Consequently, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the respective foreign currencies will affect our reported results of operations and the value of our assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet,sheets, even if our results of operations or the value of those assets and liabilities has not changed in its original currency. These transactions could significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods and/or result in significant changes to the carrying value of our assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity.
We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk relating to receipts from customers and payments to suppliers in foreign currencies. We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the price risk associated with forecasted foreign denominated payments related to our ongoing business. Foreign currency forward contracts are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. At March 31, 20162019, a 10% change in the exchange rate in our portfolio of foreign currency contracts would not have material impact on our unrealized gains. Consistent with the use of these contracts to neutralize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations, such unrealized losses or gains would be offset by corresponding gains or losses, respectively, in the remeasurement of the underlying transactions being hedged. When taken together, these forward currency contracts and the offsetting underlying commitments do not create material market risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings. An increase in interest rates would adversely affect our operating results and the cash flow available after debt service to fund operations and expansion. In addition, an increase in interest rates would adversely affect our ability to pay dividends on our common stock, if permitted to do so under certain of our debt arrangements, including the Credit Facility. We manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations by optimizing the use of fixed and variable rate debt. As of March 31, 20162019, approximately 77%81% of our debt was fixed-rate debt. Our financing policy states that we generally maintain between 50% and 75% of our debt as fixed-rate debt however,on a portion of our variable debt is fixed through an interest rate swap.fully leveraged basis. The information below summarizes our market risks associated with debt obligations and should be read in conjunction with Note 10 of "Notesnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements."consolidated financial statements.
The following table presents principal cash flows and the related interest rates. Fixed interest rates disclosed represent the weighted-average rate as of March 31, 20162019.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Standards Recently Implemented
Adoption of ASU 2017-07
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to report the service cost component of net periodic pension benefit cost in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period, with other cost components presented separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations. ASU 2017-07 also allows only the service cost component of net periodic pension benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. ASU 2017-07 was effective for years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on April 1, 2018, applying the presentation requirements retrospectively. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient, which allows it to reclassify amounts disclosed previously in the employee benefit plans note as the basis for applying retrospective

presentation for comparative periods as it is impracticable to determine the disaggregation of the cost components for amounts capitalized and amortized in those periods. Provisions related to presentation of the service cost component eligibility for capitalization were applied prospectively.
The effect of the retrospective presentation change related to the net periodic benefit cost of our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans on our consolidated statements of operations was as follows:

During the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a non-cash charge related to the adoption of ASU 2017-07 of $87,241 due to an inseparable change in estimate from a change in accounting principles, increasing loss per share by $1.76. This charge is presented on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations within "Cost of sales." In the Company's segment reporting presented in Note 21, this charge is included in Aerospace Structures operating income and is excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDAP.
Adoption of ASU 2017-12
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”), which expands component and fair value hedging, specifies the presentation of the effects of hedging instruments, and eliminates the separate measurement and presentation of hedge ineffectiveness. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 as of April 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Standards Issued Not Yet Implemented
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). The guidance in ASU 2018-02 allows an entity to elect to reclassify the stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) from accumulated other comprehensive income into retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2018-02 effective April 1, 2019, and have elected not to reclassify any amounts recognized in other comprehensive income into accumulated deficit.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"), which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements and expands disclosures about leasing arrangements for both lessees and lessors, among other items. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which makes the new standard effective for us on April 1, 2019. The Company may apply the transition provisions of ASU 2016-02, as amended, either at the beginning of the earliest period presented in our fiscal year 2020 Form

10-K, which would be April 1, 2018, or on the effective date of adoption, which would be April 1, 2019. Among other requirements, the transition provisions require the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and liability for most existing lease arrangements on the date the transition provisions are applied. The Company has elected to apply the transition provisions of this new standard on April 1, 2019. Therefore, periods prior to the effective date of adoption will continue to be reported using current GAAP.
The Company has identified and evaluated the key terms of all of its active leases as of the adoption date and has designed and implemented the appropriate controls to comply with the adoption requirements of ASC 842. The Company is in the process of designing and implementing controls to comply with the prospective accounting and financial reporting requirements of ASC 842 and will complete implementation during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is the lessee in substantially all of its lease arrangements. The Company adopted the standard by applying the "package of practical expedients" provided by ASC 842 and did not elect to apply the practical expedient pertaining to the use of hindsight. The Company will also make certain accounting policy elections that are available under ASC 842, including (i) the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning that for these leases, the Company would not recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets or lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet and (ii) the election to use the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for certain classes of assets, meaning that for these leases, the cash flows related to certain non-lease components are included in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability balances on its consolidated balance sheet.
The adoption of this new accounting standard will result in an increase in the recognition of lease liabilities associated with the Company's operating leases in the range of approximately $85,000 to $95,000, for which the majority pertain to real estate leases. Right-of-use assets will also be recognized with a balance comparable to the lease liabilities, adjusted for prepaid and deferred rent balances as of the adoption date. As disclosed in Note 10, the Company has a capital lease liability of $31,292 as of March 31, 2019. The Company does not expect the impact on the results of operations or cash flows to be material.

Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Fair value of cash equivalents approximates carrying value.
Trade and Other Receivables, net
Trade and other receivables are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade and other receivables 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 performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company records the allowance for doubtful accounts based on prior experience and for specific collectibility matters when they arise. The Company writes off balances against the reserve when collectibility is deemed remote. The Company's trade and other receivables are exposed to credit risk; however, the risk is limited due to the diversity of the customer base.

Inventories
The Company records inventories at the lower of cost (average-cost or specific-identification methods) or market. Costs on long-term contracts and programs in progress represent recoverable costs incurred for production or contract-specific facilities and equipment, allocable operating overhead and advances to suppliers. Pursuant to contract provisions, agencies of the U.S. Government and certain other customers have title to, or a security interest in, inventories related to such contracts as a result of advances, performance-based payments, and progress payments. The Company reflects those advances and payments as an offset against the related inventory balances. The Company expenses general and administrative costs related to products and services provided essentially under commercial

consolidated balance sheets.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, which includesinclude equipment under capital lease and leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, or the lease term if shorter in the case of leasehold improvements, byusing the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over a period of 15 to 39.5 years, and machinery and equipment are depreciated over a period of 7 to 15 years (except for furniture, fixtures and computer equipment which are depreciated over a period of 3 to 10 years).
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. Under ASC 350, purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; rather, they are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Upon acquisition, critical estimates are made in valuing acquired intangible assets, which include, but are not limited to:to, future expected cash flows from customer contracts, customer lists, and estimating cash flows from projects when completed; tradename and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time that customer relationships will continue; and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from the assumptions used in determining the fair values.
The Company's operating segments of Aerostructures,Integrated Systems, Aerospace SystemsStructures, and Aftermarket ServicesProduct Support are also its reporting units. The Chief Executive Officer is the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Company's CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon review of segment information. Each of the operating segments is comprisedcomposed of a number of operating units, which are considered to be components. The components, for which discrete financial information exists, are aggregated for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.testing into three reporting units. The Company's acquisition strategy is to acquire companies that complement and enhance the capabilities of the operating segments of the Company. Each acquisition is assigned to eitherone of the AerostructuresCompany's reporting unit, the Aerospace Systems reporting unit or the Aftermarket Services reporting unit.units. The goodwill that results from each acquisition is also assigned to the reporting unit to which the acquisition is allocated, because it is that reporting unit which is intended to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
The Company assesses whether goodwill impairment exists using both the qualitative and quantitative assessments. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If based on this qualitative assessment the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed using a two-step approachas required by ASC 350 to determine whether a goodwill impairment exists at the reporting unit.
The first step of the quantitative test is used to compare the carrying amount of the reporting unit's assets to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further evaluation is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, then an impairment loss occurs. The impairment is measured by using the second step is required to be completed,amount by which involves allocatingthe carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unitnot to each asset and liability using the guidance in ASC 805, with the excess being applied to goodwill. An impairment loss occurs ifexceed the amount of the recorded goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill. The determination of the fair value of our reporting units is based, among other things, on estimates of future operating performance of the reporting unit being valued. We areThe Company is required to complete an impairment test for goodwill and record any resulting impairment losses at least annually. Changes in market conditions, among other factors, may have an impact on these estimates and require interim impairment assessments.
When performing the two-step quantitative impairment test, the Company's methodology includes the use of an income approach which discounts future net cash flows to their present value at a rate that reflects the Company's cost of capital, otherwise known as the discounted cash flow method ("DCF"). These estimated fair values are based on estimates of future cash flows of
TRIUMPH GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
the businesses. Factors affecting these future cash flows include the continued market acceptance of the products and services offered by the businesses, the development of new products and services by the businesses and the underlying cost of development, the future cost structure of the businesses and future technological changes. The Company also incorporates market multiples for comparable companies in determining the fair value of our reporting units. Any such impairment would be recognized in full in the reporting period in which it has been identified.
DuringConsistent with the thirdCompany's policy, the Company performs an annual assessment in its fiscal fourth quarter and on an interim basis upon the occurrence of events or substantive changes in circumstances that indicate a reporting unit's carrying value may be less than its fair value. No goodwill impairment was identified in the current year.
In fiscal 2016,year 2018, as required by ASC 350-20-35-3C, the Company performed an interim assessment of the fair value of ourits goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets due to potential indicators of impairment related to the continued decline in our stock price during the third quarter. The Company's assessment focused on the Aerostructures reporting unit since it had significant

changes in its economic indicators and adjusted for select changes in the risk adjusted discount rate to consider both the current return requirements of the market and the risks inherent in the reporting unit, expected long-term growth rate and cash flow projections to determine if any decline in the estimated fair value of a reporting unit could result in a goodwill impairment. We concluded that the goodwill was not impaired as of the interim impairment assessment date. However, the excess of the fair value over the carrying value was within 5% for the Company's Aerostructuresdecision, effective January 1, 2018, to combine the Aerospace Structures and Precision Components reporting unit. The amount of goodwill for our Aerostructuressegments into one reporting unit amounted to $1,420,195 as of the interim testing date.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company performed the quantitative assessment for each of the Company's three reporting units, which indicated that the fair value of goodwill for the Aerostructures reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amount. After evaluating whether other assets within the reporting unit were impaired in accordance with ASC 350, we concluded on the implied goodwill under Step 2 resulting in a $597,603 impairment of goodwill to Aerostructures reporting unit. The assessment for the Company's Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services reporting units indicated that the fair value of their respective goodwill exceeded the carrying amount. We incurred no impairment of goodwill assegment. As a result of our annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal 2015 or 2014 (see Note 7 for further discussion).
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a $438,400 indefinite-lived intangible asset associated with the tradenames acquired in the acquisitions of Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. ("Vought") and Embee, Inc. ("Embee"). The Company assesses whether indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment exists using both the qualitative and quantitative assessments. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If based on this qualitative assessment, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed to determine whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment exists. We test the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value based on current revenue projections of the related operations, under the relief from royalty method. Any excess of the carrying value over the amount of fair value is recognized as an impairment.

Accordingly,the impairment test of each reporting unit, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016,2018, of $229,200,$190,227, which is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statementsconsolidated statements of Operations as "Impairmentoperations within impairment of intangible assets".assets. The Company performed an impairment test of the new reporting unit of Aerospace Structure and recognized an impairment of $345,000, which is presented on the consolidated statements of operations within impairment of intangible assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The decline in fair value comparedis the result of declining revenues from sustained production rate reductions and sun-setting programs and the slower than previously projected ramp in our development programs and the timing of associated earnings and cash flows. The assessment for the Company's Integrated Systems and Product Support reporting units indicated that their fair value exceeded their carrying amounts.
In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, consistent with the Company's policy, the Company performed its annual assessment of the fair value of goodwill. The Company concluded that the goodwill related to the Aerospace Structures reporting unit was impaired as of the annual testing date. The Company concluded that the goodwill had a fair value that was lower than its carrying value by an amount that exceeded the remaining goodwill for the reporting unit. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fourth quarter of the Vought tradenamefiscal year ending March 31, 2017, of $266,298, which is presented on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as impairment of intangible assets. The decline in fair value is the result of declining revenues from production rate reductions on sun-setting programs and the slower than previously projected ramp in Bombardier Global 7000/8000our development programs and the timing of associated earnings.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company performed its annual impairment test for each of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets, which indicated that the Voughtearnings and Embee tradenames had a fair value of $163,000 (Level 3) compared to a carrying value of $209,200. The decline in fair value of the tradenames is the result of the increase in discount rate during the fourth quarter, which required the Company to assess whether events and/or circumstances have changed regarding the indefinite-life conclusion. As a result the Company incurred a non-cash impairment charge of $46,200 presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Impairment of intangible assets" to the Vought and Embee tradenames. Additionally, it was determined that the tradenames will be amortized over their remaining estimated useful life of 20 years. The Company incurred no impairment of indefinite-lived assets as a result of our annual indefinite-lived assets impairment tests in fiscal 2015 or 2014.cash flows.
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives ranging from 37 to 3230 years. The Company continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that would indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, may warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are evaluated for indicators of impairment. When factors indicate that long-lived assets, including intangible assets, should be evaluated for possible impairment, an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the long-lived assets, including intangible assets, is used to measure recoverability.recoverability based on the primary asset of the asset group. Some of the more important factors management considers include the Company's financial performance relative to expected and historical performance, significant changes in the way the Company manages its operations, negative events that have occurred, and negative industry and economic trends. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount, measurement of the impairment will be based on the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the asset group, generally determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the use of the asset.

Acquired Contract Liabilities, netNet
In connection with several of our acquisitions, we assumed existing long-term contracts. Based on our review of these contracts, we concluded that the terms of certain contracts to be either more or less favorable than could be realized in market transactions as of the date of the acquisition. As a result, we recognized acquired contract liabilities, net of acquired contract assets as of the acquisition date of each respective acquisition, based on the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows of the executory contracts and the estimated cash flows had the contracts been executed at the acquisition date. The liabilities principally relate to long-term life of program contracts that were initially executed at several years prior to the respective acquisition (see Note 3 for further discussion).
acquisition. The Company measured these net liabilities in the year they were acquired under the measurement provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value MeasurementsMeasurement, which is based on the price to transfer the obligation to a market participant at the measurement date, assuming that the net liabilities will remain outstanding in the marketplace. Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each long-term contracts can materially impact our results of operations.
Included in the net sales of the AerostructureIntegrated Systems and Aerospace Systems groupsStructures is the non-cash amortization of acquired contract liabilities recognized as fair value adjustments through purchase accounting from various acquisitions. The Company recognized net amortization of contract liabilities of $132,363, $75,733$67,314, $125,148 and $42,629$121,004 in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 20152019, 2018, and 20142017, respectively, and such amounts have been included in revenues in results of operations. The balance of the liability as of March 31, 20162019, is $522,680184,612 and, based on the expected delivery schedule of the underlying contracts, the Company estimates annual amortization of the liability as follows: 2017—2020—$125,241; 2018—68,529; 2021—$117,544; 2019—64,641; 2022—$77,990; 2020—23,701; 2023—$59,660; and 2021—6,821; 2024—$59,659.7,522; Thereafter $13,398.
Revenue Recognition and Contract Balances
RevenuesThe Company's revenue is principally from contracts with customers to provide design, development, manufacturing, and support services associated with specific customer programs. The Company regularly enters into long-term master supply agreements that establish general terms and conditions and may define specific program requirements. Many agreements include clauses that provide sole supplier status to the Company for the duration of the program’s life. Purchase orders (or authorizations to proceed) are issued pursuant to the master supply agreements. Additionally, a majority of the Company’s agreements with customers include options for future purchases. Such options primarily reduce the administrative effort of issuing subsequent purchase orders and do not represent material rights granted to customers. The Company generally enters into agreements directly with its customers and is the principal in all current contracts.
The identification of a contract with a customer for purposes of accounting and financial reporting requires an evaluation of the terms and conditions of agreements to determine whether presently enforceable rights and obligations exist. Management considers a number of factors when making this evaluation that include, but are not limited to, the nature and substance of the business exchange, the specific contractual terms and conditions, the promised products and services, the termination provisions in the contract, as well as the nature and execution of the customer’s ordering process and how the Company is authorized to perform work. Generally, presently enforceable rights and obligations are not created until a purchase order is issued by a customer for a specified number of units of product or services. Therefore, the issuance of a purchase order is generally the point at which a contract is identified for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
Management identifies the promises to the customer. Promises are generally explicitly stated in each contract, but managements also evaluates whether any promises are implied based on the terms of the agreement, past business practice, or other facts and circumstances. Each promise is evaluated to determine if it is a performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service. The Company considers a number of factors when determining whether a promise is contractual performance obligation, including whether the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, whether the Company provides a significant service of integrating goods or services to deliver a combined output to the customer, or whether the goods or services are highly interdependent. The Company’s performance obligations consist of a wide range of engineering design services and manufactured components, as well as spare parts and repairs for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
The transaction price for a contract reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for fully satisfying the performance obligations in the contract. Typically, the transaction price consists solely of fixed consideration but may include variable consideration for contractual provisions such as unpriced contract modifications, cost-sharing provisions, and other receipts or payments to customers. The Company identifies and estimates variable consideration, typically at the most likely amount the Company expects to receive from its customers. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized in accordancefor the contract will not occur, or when the uncertainty associated with the contract terms when products are shipped, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, pricingvariable consideration is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.resolved. The Company's policycontracts with respectcustomers generally require payment under normal commercial terms after delivery with payment typically required within 30 to sales returns and allowances generally provides that the customer may not return products or be given allowances, except at the Company's option. Accruals for sales returns, other allowances and estimated warranty costs are provided at the time120 days of shipment based upon past experience.
A significant portiondelivery. However, a subset of the Company'sCompany’s current contracts are withininclude significant financing components because the scopetiming of ASC 605-35, Revenue Recognition —Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and revenue and costs on contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Accounting for the revenue and profit on a contract requires estimates of (1) the contract value or total contract revenue, (2) the total costs at completion, which is equal to the sum of the actual incurred costs to date on the contract and the estimated costs to complete the contract's scope of work and (3) the measurement of progress towards completion. Depending on the contract, the Company measures progress toward completion using either the cost-to-cost method or the units-of-delivery method, with the great majority measured under the units-of-delivery method.
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.

transfer of the underlying products and services under contract are at the customers’ discretion. For these contracts, the Company adjusts the transaction price to reflect the effects of the time value of money.
The Company generally is not subject to collecting sales tax and has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the transaction price any sales and other similar taxes collected from customers. As a result, any such collections are accounted for on a net basis.
The total transaction price is allocated to each of the identified performance obligations using the relative stand-alone selling price. The objective of the allocation is to reflect the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the products or services associated with each performance obligation. Stand-alone selling price is the price at which the Company would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. Stand-alone selling prices are established at contract inception, and subsequent changes in transaction price are allocated on the same basis as at contract inception. When stand-alone selling prices for the Company’s products and services are not observable, the Company uses either the “Expected Cost Plus a Margin” or "Adjusted Market Assessment" approaches to estimate stand-alone selling price. Expected costs are typically derived from the available periodic forecast information.
Revenue is recognized when or as control of promised products or services transfers to a customer and is recognized at the amount allocated to each performance obligation associated with the transferred products or services. Service sales, principally representing repair, maintenance, and engineering activities are recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered. Sales under long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time are recognized using either an input or output method. The Company recognizes revenue over time as it performs on these contracts because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer as represented by contractual terms that entitle the Company to the reimbursement of costs plus a reasonable profit for work performed to manufacture products for which the Company has no alternate use or for work performed on a customer-owned asset.
With control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress toward completion of the performance obligation. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost input method of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as work progresses. Under the units-of-deliverycost-to-cost method, revenuethe extent of progress toward completion is measured based on a contract is recorded as the units are delivered and accepted during the period at an amount equalproportion of costs incurred to the contractual selling price of those units. The costs recorded on a contract under the units-of-delivery method are equaldate 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 of the performance obligation. The Company reviews its cost estimates on significant contracts on a periodic basis, or when circumstances change and estimated total profit are often required as work progresses underwarrant 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.

Additionally, some contracts may contain provisions for revenue sharing, price re-determination, requests for equitable adjustments, change orders or cost and/or performance incentives. Such amounts or incentives are included in contract value when the amounts can be reliably estimated and their realization is reasonably assured.
Although fixed-price contracts, which extend several years into the future, generally permit the Company to keep unexpected profits if costs are less than projected, the Company also bears the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce profit or cause the Company to sustain losses on the contract. In a fixed-price contract, the Company must fully absorb cost overruns, notwithstanding the difficulty of estimating all of the costs the Company will incur in performing these contracts and in projecting the ultimate level of revenue that may otherwise be achieved.
The Companypreviously recognized a provision for forward losses associated with our long-term contractsof $131,400 on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. There is still risk similar to what we have experienced on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. Particularly, our ability to manage risks related to supplier performance, execution of cost reduction strategies, hiring and retaining skilled production and management personnel, quality and manufacturing execution, program schedule delays and many other risks, will determine the ultimate performance of these long-term programs.
The Aftermarket Services Group provides repair and overhaul services, certain of which services are provided under long-term power-by-the-hour contracts, comprising approximately 6% of the segment's net sales. 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,program.

Research and development ("R&D") expense (which includes certain amounts subject to reimbursement from customers) was approximately $103,031, $108,062$49,895, $72,763 and $82,494$112,418 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 20152019, 2018, and 20142017, respectively.
Retirement Benefits
Defined benefit pension plans are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on an actuarial basis. A significant element in determining the Company's pension income (expense) is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. This expected return is an assumption as to the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected pension benefit obligation. The Company applies this assumed long-term rate of return to a calculated value of plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value of plan assets in a systematic manner over five years. This produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in pension income (expense). The difference between this expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred. The net deferral of past asset gains (losses) affects the calculated value of plan assets and, ultimately, future pension income (expense).
The Company periodically experiences events or makes changes to its benefit plans that result in curtailment or special charges. Curtailments are recognized when events occur that significantly reduce the expected years of future service of present employees or eliminates the benefits for a significant number of employees for some or all of their future service.
Curtailment losses are recognized when it is probable the curtailment will occur and the effects are reasonably estimable. Curtailment gains are recognized when the related employees are terminated or a plan amendment is adopted, whichever is applicable.
As required under ASC 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits, the Company remeasures plan assets and obligations during an interim period whenever a significant event occurs that results in a material change in the net periodic pension cost. The determination of significance is based on judgment and consideration of events and circumstances impacting the pension costs.
At March 31 of each year, the Company determines the fair value of its pension plan assets as well as the discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of plan liabilities. The discount rate is an estimate of the interest rate at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. In estimating the discount rate, the Company looks to rates of return on high-quality, fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefits. The Company uses a portfolio of fixed-income securities, which receive at least the second-highest rating given by a recognized ratings agency.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has 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; and Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company has applied fair value measurements to its interest rate swapdivestitures (refer to Note 3), when measuring goodwill impairment in fiscal year 2018 (see Note 10)8), and to its pension and postretirement plan assets (see Note 15).

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred taxes if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in relation to an uncertain tax position. The Company uses a two-step process to evaluate tax positions. The first step requires an entity to determine whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50% chance) that the tax position will be sustained. The second step requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition criterion. The amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of issues raised by taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued and may materially impact the financial statements of the Company in future periods.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Subtopic 740-10): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires companies to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is allowed for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Entities may elect to adopt the guidance either prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods (i.e., the balance sheet for each period is adjusted). Effective December 1, 2015, the Company adopted this standard retrospectively to all prior periods and resulting in a reclass of $145,352 from a current deferred tax asset to a noncurrrent deferred tax liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations(Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 requires companies to present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods. Effective April 1, 2015, the Company adopted this standard. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In accordance with ASC 2015-15, the Company has excluded debt issuance costs relating to revolving debt instruments as a direct deduction to debt.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The objective of ASC 606 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. The principle of ASC 606 is that an entity will recognize revenue at the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled. ASC 606 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and can be adopted by the Company using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating ASC 606 and has not determined the impact it may have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows nor decided on the method of adoption.
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 fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2,657, $1,272 and $4,653, 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 (seeshares. Refer to Note 16 for further details).details.
During fiscal year 2019, the Company reviewed the accounting treatment of the issuance of treasury stock to settle share-based compensation arrangements with its employees. As a result of this review, the Company determined that the difference between the historical cost of treasury shares and the consideration received in exchange for those shares upon stock option exercise or vesting should be recognized as a reduction to retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, to capital in excess of par. The Company reclassified $25,474 to retained earnings representing differences in certain treasury stock transactions occurring prior to April 1, 2018, that had previously been recorded as reductions to capital in excess of par. The Company also refined its calculations of the historical cost of treasury stock, resulting in a reduction of treasury stock of $4,406 which also impacted the reclassification to retained earnings. Beginning in fiscal year 2019, the Company now has an accumulated deficit and therefore records the difference as a reduction of capital in excess of par.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company received $4,701 as income tax refunds, net of taxes paid. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 20162018 and 2014,2017, the Company paid $4,887$11,190 and $4,157,$7,930 respectively, for income tax,taxes, net of income tax refunds received. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Company received $22,241 for income tax refunds, net of payments. The Company made interest payments of $62,325, $82,425 and $81,100 for fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company financed $188, $52 and $36 of property and equipment additions through capital leases, respectively. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 2,290,755 shares in connection with certain redemptions of convertible senior subordinated notes (see Note 10).
Warranty Reserves
A reserve has been established to provide for the estimated future cost of warranties on our delivered products. The Company periodically reviews the reserves and adjustments are made accordingly. A provision for warranty on products delivered is made on the basis of historical experience and identified warranty issues. Warranties cover such factors as non-conformance to specifications and defects in material and workmanship. The majority of the Company's agreements include a three-year warranty, although certain programs have warranties up to 20 years. Warranty reserves are included in accrued expenses and other noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.consolidated balance sheets.

The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company has also identified an intangible asset related to customer relationships valued at $18,000 with a weighted-average life of 12.0 years.
The accounting for the business combination is provisional and dependent upon valuations and other information for certain assets and liabilities which have not yet been identified, completed or obtained to a point where definitive estimates can be made. The process for estimating the fair values of identified intangible assets, certain tangible assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions.
As the Company finalizes estimates of the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the purchase price allocation for Fairchild is provisional. Additional purchase price adjustments will be recorded during the measurement period, not to exceed one year beyond the acquisition date. These adjustments may have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.
The table below presents the provisional estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date based on the best information the Company has received to date, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805").

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Adoption of ASU 2014-09
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09” or "ASC 606") that supersedes Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605 (“legacy GAAP”). Subsequently, the FASB issued several updates to ASU 2014-09, codified in ASC 606. ASU 2014-09 includes new guidance on costs related to a contract, which is codified in ASC Subtopic 340-40. The acquired business operatesCompany adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method (“method”) effective as Triumph Actuation Systems-Yakima and Triumph Actuation Systems-UK & IOM and its results are included in Aerospace Systems Group fromof April 1, 2018 (“date of initial application”). Under this method, the cumulative effect of the adoption of ASC 606 is recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings on the date of acquisition.initial application (“Transition Adjustment”), and the comparative financial statements for prior periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported under legacy GAAP. The Transition Adjustment was a decrease to retained earnings of $585,015. Financial information for fiscal years 2019 and 2018 is presented under ASC 606 and under legacy GAAP, respectively. The tables below reflect adjusted fiscal year 2019 financial statement amounts as if the Company had been reporting under legacy GAAP for items that are materially different.
The purchase priceadoption of ASC 606 does not impact the Company's cash flows or the underlying economics of the Company's contracts with customers. However, the pattern and timing of revenue and profit recognition, as well as financial statement presentation and disclosures, has changed.
The significant changes and the qualitative and quantitative impact of the adoption of ASC 606 are noted below:
a.Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Generally, the Company no longer uses the units-of-delivery method, and the historical use of contract blocks to define contracts for accounting purposes has been replaced by accounting contracts as identified under ASC 606. The Company's accounting contracts under ASC 606 are for the GE acquisitionspecific number of units for which orders have been received, which is typically for fewer units than what was $75,609,used to define contract blocks under legacy GAAP. In most of the Company's contracts, the customer has options or requirements to purchase additional products and services that do not represent material rights since the options are at their stand-alone pricing.
The primary effect of the Company’s adoption of ASC 606 (outside of the Aerospace Structures segment) was to recognize revenue over time for certain of its contracts, which is a change from recognition based on shipping terms under the legacy GAAP accounting policy.
b.Capitalized Preproduction Costs
Under legacy GAAP, certain capitalized preproduction costs were deferred over the life of the contract block; in certain situations this is not permitted under ASC 606. Accordingly, capitalized preproduction costs of $865,843 (pre-tax), net of previously recognized forward loss reserves of $343,983 (pretax), were eliminated, which was included cash paid at closing, working capital adjustments,in the Transition Adjustment.
c.Contract Assets and deferred payments of $6,000 paid in fiscal 2016. GoodwillContract Liabilities
Contract assets primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. Contract assets in the amount of $150,772 was$565,414 were established in the Transition Adjustment.
Contract liabilities primarily represent cash received that is in excess of revenues recognized for this acquisition and is calculated ascontingent upon the excesssatisfaction of consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized such as assembled workforce. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

To measure the amount of loss related to Triumph Instruments, the Company compared the fair value of assets and liabilities at the evaluation date to the carrying amount at the end of the month prior to the evaluation date. The sale of the Triumph Instruments assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The key assumption included the negotiated sales price of the assets and the assumptions of the liabilities (see Note 2 for definition of levels).

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied or partially satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. This typically occurs when revenue is recognized over time but the Company's contractual right to bill the customer and receive payment is conditional upon the satisfaction of additional performance obligations in the contract, such as final delivery of the product. Contract assets are recognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of the potential impairment of its contract assets based on prior experience and specific matters when they arise. No impairments to contract assets were recorded for the year ended March 31, 2019.
Contract liabilities are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations to be satisfied over a period of time. Contract liabilities other than those pertaining to forward loss reserves are derecognized when or as revenue is recognized.
Contract modifications can also impact contract asset and liability balances. When contracts are modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements, we consider whether the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications that are for goods or services that are not distinct from the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
existing contract, due to the significant integration with the original good or service provided, are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification to an existing contract on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. When the modifications include additional performance obligations that are distinct and at relative stand-alone selling price, they are accounted for as a new contract and performance obligation, which are recognized prospectively.
Contract balances are classified as assets or liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The following table summarizes our contract assets and liabilities balances:

| | March 31, 2019 | | March 31, 2018 | | Change |

| Net contract asset | $ | (123,384 | ) | | $ | (353,515 | ) | | $ | 230,131 |

The increase in contract assets reflects the effect of the adoption of ASC 606 of approximately $565,000 as well as revenue recognized during the period from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods of $7,944. Additionally, $196,764 in contract assets were derecognized and included in the gain/(loss) calculations associated with the divestitures described in Note 3. The remainder of the current change in contract assets is the result of current year billings on contract assets established in the Transition Adjustment, net of any contract assets originating subsequent to the ASC 606 Transition Adjustment. The increase in contract liabilities reflects the effect of the adoption of ASC 606 of approximately $288,000 and the net impact of revenue recognized in excess of additional customer advances during the period. For the period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $178,400 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. Noncurrent contract liabilities presented in other noncurrent liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, were $156,332 and $69,897 respectively.
Performance Obligations
Customers generally contract with the Company for requirements in a segment relating to a specific program, and the Company’s performance obligations consist of a wide range of engineering design services and manufactured components, as well as spare parts and repairs for OEMs. A single contract may contain multiple performance obligations consisting of both recurring and nonrecurring elements.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company has the following unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, performance obligations that are expected to be recognized in the future as noted in the table below. The Company expects options to be exercised in addition to the amounts presented below.

In March 2019, the fourth quarterCompany entered into a definitive agreement to assign the contracts associated with the Embraer programs to one of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we recordedCompany's subcontractors. The Company will continue to participate in the Embraer programs as a $399,758 forward loss chargesubcontractor for the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 wing program. Under our contract for this program, we have the right to design, develop and manufacture wing components over the initial 300 ship sets . The Global 7000/8000 contract provides for fixed pricing and requires us to fund certain up-front development expenses, with certain milestone payments made by Bombardier. The Global 7000/8000 program charge resulted in the impairment of previously capitalized pre-production costs due to the combination of cost recovery uncertainty, higher than anticipated non-recurring costs and increased forecasted costs on recurring production. The increases in costs were driven by several factors, including: changing technical requirements, increased spending on the design and engineering phaseproduction of the programrudder and uncertainty regarding cost reduction and cost recovery initiatives with our customer and suppliers. Further cost increases or an inability to meet revised recurring cost forecasts on the Global 7000/8000 program may result in additional forward loss reserves in future periods, while improvements in future costs compared to current estimates may result in favorable adjustments if forward loss reserveselevator structures. The Embraer programs are no longer required.
The Company is still in the pre-productionearly production stages, for the Bombardier and Embraer programs, as these aircrafts are not scheduled to enter service until 2018, or later.in 2019. Transition of these programs from development to recurring production levels is dependent upon the success of the programs achieving flight testing and certification, as well as the ability of the Embraer programs to generate acceptable levels of aircraft sales. While the Company has reduced its exposure pertaining to these programs as a result of the contract assignment, the failure to achieve these milestones and level of sales or significant cost overruns may result in additional forward losses.

Consistent with the Company's policy described here within, the Company performs Step 1As of the goodwill impairment test on an interim basis upon the occurrence of events or substantive changes in circumstances that indicate a reporting unit's carrying value may be less than its fair value. During the third quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company performed an interim assessment2019 and 2018, Aerospace Structures had goodwill of the fair value of its goodwill$1,246,454 and indefinite-lived intangible assets due to indicators of impairment related to the continued decline in the Company's stock price during the third quarter. The Company performed Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test$1,399,128, respectively, which included using a combination of both the market and income approaches to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit.was fully impaired.

The Company's assessment focused on the Aerostructures reporting unit since it had significant changes in its economic indicators and adjusted for select changes in the risk adjusted discount rate to consider both the current return requirements of the market and the risks inherent in the reporting unit, expected long-term growth rate and cash flow projections to determine if any decline in the estimated fair value of a reporting unit could result in a goodwill impairment. The decline in fair value compared to carrying value of the goodwill is the result of declining revenues from production rate reductions and the slower than previously projected ramp in Bombardier Global 7000/8000 and the timing of associated earnings. The Company concluded that the goodwill was not impaired as of the interim impairment assessment date. However, the excess of the fair value over the carrying value was within 5% for the Aerostructures reporting unit. The amount of goodwill for the Aerostructures reporting unit amounted to $1,420,195 at December 31, 2015.
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, consistent with the Company's policy described here within, the Company performed its annual assessment of the fair value of goodwill. The Company concluded that the goodwill related to the Aerostructures reporting unit was impaired as of the annual testing date. The Company concluded that the goodwill had an implied fair value of $822,801 (Level 3) compared to a carrying value of $1,420,195. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, of $597,603, which is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Impairment of intangible assets". The decline in fair value is the result of continued declines in stock price and related market multiples for stock price to EBITDA of both the Company and our peer group. Going forward, the Company will continue to monitor the performance of this reporting unit in relation to the key assumptions in our analysis.
In the event that market multiples for stock price to EBITDA in the aerospace and defense markets decrease, or the expected EBITDA and cash flows for the Company's reporting units decreases, an additional goodwill impairment charge may be required, which would adversely affect the Company's operating results and financial condition. If management determines that impairment exists, the impairment will be recognized in the period in which it is identified.

During the third quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company performed an interim assessment of fair value on our indefinite-lived intangible assets due to indicators of impairment related to the continued decline in our stock price during the fiscal third quarter. The Company estimated the fair value of the tradenames using the relief-from-royalty method, which uses several significant assumptions, including revenue projections that consider historical and estimated future results, general economic and market conditions, as well as the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The following estimates and assumptions were also used in the relief-from-royalty method:

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
•Royalty rates between 2% and 4% based on market observed royalty rates and profit split analysis; and
•Discount rates between 12% and 13% based on the required rate of return for the tradename assets.
Based on the Company's evaluation of indefinite-lived assets, including the tradenames, the Company concluded that the Vought tradename had a fair value of $195,800 (Level 3) compared to a carrying value of $425,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the third quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, of $229,200, which is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Impairment of intangible assets". The decline in fair value compared to carrying value of the Vought tradename is the result of declining revenues from production rate reductions and the slower than previously projected ramp in Bombardier Global 7000/8000 and the timing of associated earnings.
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company performed its annual assessment of fair value on our indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company estimated the fair value of the tradenames using the relief-from-royalty method, which uses several significant assumptions, including revenue projections that consider historical and estimated future results, general economic and market conditions, as well as the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The following estimates and assumptions were also used in the relief-from-royalty method:
•Royalty rates between 2% and 4% based on market observed royalty rates and profit split analysis; and
•Discount rate of 14% based on the required rate of return for the tradename assets,which increased from our interim assessment driven by increased risk due to continued declines in stock price and related market multiples for stock price to EBITDA of both the Company and our peer group and increased interest rates.
Based on the Company's evaluation of indefinite-lived assets, including the tradenames, the Company concluded that the Vought and Embee tradenames had a fair value of $163,000 (Level 3) compared to a carrying value of $209,200. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 of $46,200, which is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Impairment of intangible assets". The decline in fair value of the Vought and Embee tradenames is the result of declining revenues from production rate reductions and the slower than previously projected ramp in Bombardier Global 7000/8000 and the timing of associated earnings. Additionally, it was determined that the tradenames will be amortized over their remaining estimated useful life of 20 years.
In the event of significant loss of revenues and related earnings associated with the Vought and Embee tradenames, further impairment charges may be required, which would adversely affect our operating results. |

Absent this consent, the Company would have been restricted as to the level of new borrowings under the Credit Facility during fiscal 2017.
Further, to mitigate the risk of failing to obtain the consent and to ensure the Company had adequate liquidity through fiscal 2017, the Company chose to make a significant draw on the Credit Facility in early April 2016, taking the outstanding balance to approximately $800,000. The Company paid down substantially all of the draw to the Credit Facility upon receiving consent from the holders of the 2021 Notes in May 2016.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Government enacted comprehensive tax legislation referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The Act introduced tax reform that reduced the current corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, among other changes. The Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, and it will take time to fully evaluate the impact of these changes on the Company. The Company has completed its analysis of the Act and has recorded an additional tax liability of $1,646 resulting from an increase to the previous estimate of the transition tax on unremitted earnings of our foreign businesses; this liability was offset by available foreign tax credits. The Company has elected to treat the Act’s global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as a period expense and has included estimated GILTI tax related to current year operations in the Company's annualized effective tax rate.
A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. When determining the amount of net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods and the feasibility of ongoing tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent the evidence may be objectively verified. As such, it is generally difficult for positive evidence regarding projected future taxable income exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences to outweigh objective negative evidence of recent financial reporting losses.
Based on these criteria and the relative weighting of both the positive and negative evidence available, and in particular the activity surrounding the Company's prior earnings history, including the forward losses and intangible impairments previously recognized, management determined that it was necessary to establish a valuation allowance against principally all of its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2016.assets. Given the objectivityobjective verifiable negative evidence of a three-year cumulative loss and the weighting of all available positive evidence, the Company excluded projected taxable income (aside from reversing taxable

The Company has been granted income tax holiday as an incentive to attract foreign investment by the Government of Thailand. The tax holidays expire in various years through 2026. We do not have any other tax holidays in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The income tax benefit attributable to the tax status of our subsidiaries in Thailand was approximately $(439)2,160 or $(0.01)$0.04 per diluted share in fiscal 20162019, $1,9301,530 or $0.040.03 per diluted share in fiscal 20152018 and $347928 or $0.010.02 per diluted share in fiscal 20142017.

The Company anticipates that total unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by $0zero in the next 12 months.

In March 2019, the Company adopted a tax benefits preservation plan (the "Plan") designed to preserve Triumph’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes (collectively, "Tax Benefits"). The Plan is similar to plans adopted by other public companies with significant Tax Benefits. The Company intends to submit the Plan for stockholder approval at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders. At the meeting, the Company will also seek stockholder approval to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in order to permit issuance of Rights (as defined below) relating to preferred stock (the "Stockholder Approval").
Under the Plan, Triumph is declaring a dividend distribution of one right (a Right) for each share of its common stock outstanding at the close of business on March 25, 2019. The Rights will trade with Triumph’s common shares and will expire on March 13, 2020, unless the Plan is approved by the stockholders until March 13, 2022, at a stockholder meeting held before March 13, 2020. The Rights also will expire: (i) if the Rights are redeemed or exchanged as provided in the Plan; (ii) if the Board determines that the Plan is no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of the Tax Benefits; or (iii) if the Board determines that no Tax Benefits, once realized, as applicable, may be carried forward (in which case, the Rights will expire on the first date of the relevant taxable year for which such determination is made).
Pursuant to the Plan, if a stockholder (or group) becomes a 5% stockholder after adoption of the Plan without meeting certain customary exceptions, the Rights would become exercisable and entitle stockholders (other than the 5% stockholder or group causing the rights to become exercisable) to purchase additional shares of Triumph at a significant discount, resulting in significant dilution in the economic interest and voting power of the 5% stockholder or group causing the Rights to become exercisable. Stockholders owning five percent or more of Triumph’s outstanding shares at the time of adoption of the Plan are grandfathered and will only cause the Rights to distribute and become exercisable if they acquire an additional one percent or more of Triumph’s outstanding shares. Under the Plan, the Board has the ability to determine in its sole discretion that any person shall not be deemed an acquiring person and therefore that the Rights shall not become exercisable if such person becomes a 5% stockholder. The adoption of the Plan and the dividend distribution did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company's existing stock repurchase program by up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock in addition to the 500,800 shares authorized under prior authorizations. During the fiscal years endedAs of March 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 2,923,011 of its common stock for $184,380. As a result, as of May 27, 2016,2019, the Company remains able to purchase an additional 2,277,789 shares. Repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, block purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at prevailing prices. No time limit has been set for completion of the program.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Company settled the conversion of $12,834, in principal value of the Convertible Notes, as requested by the respective holders, with the principal and the conversion benefit settled in cash.
The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders of Triumph.
The Company has preferred stock of $0.01 par value, 250,000 shares authorized. At March 31, 20162019 and 2015,2018, zero shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees. Most employees are ineligible to participate in the plans or have ceased to accrue additional benefits under the 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 applicable government regulations, by making payments into a trust separate from us.
In addition to the defined benefit pension plans, the Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. Such benefits are unfunded as of March 31, 20162019. 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 of eligible retirees 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 paid by the Company for most retirees for medical coverage prior to age 65 are capped and are based on years of service. Overall premiums 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.
The Company also sponsors an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP") that provides retirement benefits to certain key employees. Benefits under this plan have been frozen.
In accordance with ASC 715, the Company has recognized the funded status of the benefit obligation as of March 31, 20162019 and 2015, in2018, on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.consolidated balance sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plans' assets and the PBO or accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of the plan. The majority of the plan assets are publicly traded investments which were valued based on the market price as of the measurement date. 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.
The following table sets forth the Company's consolidated defined benefit pension plans for its union and non-union employees and its SERP as of March 31, 20162019 and 20152018, and the amounts recorded inon the Consolidated Balance Sheetsconsolidated balance sheets at March 31, 20162019 and 20152018. Company contributions include amounts contributed directly to plan assets and indirectly as benefits are paid from the Company's assets. Benefit payments reflect the total benefits paid from the plans and the Company's assets. Information on the plans includes both the domestic qualified and nonqualified plans and the foreign qualified plans.

The discount rate is determined annually as of each measurement date, based on a review of yield rates associated with long-term, high-quality corporate bonds. At the end of each year, the discount rate is primarily determined using the results of bond yield curve models based on a portfolio of high-quality bonds matching notional cash inflows with the expected benefit payments for each significant benefit plan.
The expected return on plan assets is determined based on a market-related value of plan assets, which is a smoothed asset value. The market-related value of assets is calculated by recognizing investment performance that is different from that expected on a straight-line basis over five years. Actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of inactive participants for plans that are predominantly inactive and over the expected future service for active participants for other plans, but only to the extent unrecognized gains or losses exceed a corridor equal to 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or market-related value of assets.
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, theThe Company changed the method it uses to estimateestimates the service and interest componentscost of net periodic benefit cost for the Company’sits pension and other postretirement benefit plans. This new estimation approach discounts the individual expected cash flows underlying the service cost and interest costplans by applyingusing the specific spot rates derived from the yield curve used to discount the cash flows reflected in the measurement of the benefit obligation. Historically, the Company estimated these service and interest cost components utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period.
The Company madebelieves this change to provideapproach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improvingdue to the correlation between projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates. The Company has accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate that is inseparable from a change in accounting principle pursuance to ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and accordingly have accounted for it prospectively. While the benefit obligation measured under this approach is unchanged from that determined under the prior approach, the more granular application of the spot rates will reduce the service and interest cost for the pension and OPEB plans for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, by approximately $20,000. The spot rates used to determine service and interest costs the U.S. plans ranged from 0.60%to 9.75%. Under the Company’s prior methodology, these rates would have resulted in weighted-average rates for service cost and interest

cost of 3.86% for the U.S. Pension plans and 3.73% for the OPEB plans. The new approach will be used to measure the service cost and interest cost for our pension and OPEB plans for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.
Effective April 1, 2015, the Company changed the period over whichamortizes actuarial gains and losses are being amortized for its U.S. pension plans from the average remaining future service period of active plan participants toover the average life expectancy of inactive plan participants. This change was madeparticipants because the Company has determined that as of that date almost all plan participants are inactive.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015,2019, the Society of Actuaries released a new mortality tablesprojection scale that reflect increased life expectancyreduced expected future mortality improvements for participants of U.S. pension plans. The Company has reflected these new tables, along with an updatedthis projection scale of mortality improvements, in the measurement of our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans as of March 31, 2015.2019. This change resulted in an increasea decrease in the benefit obligation.
The Company periodically experiences events or makes changes to its benefit plans that result in curtailment or special charges. Curtailments are recognized when events occur that significantly reduce the expected years of future service of present employees or eliminates the benefits for a significant number of employees for some or all of their future service.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Curtailment losses are recognized when it is probable the curtailment will occur and the effects are reasonably estimable. Curtailment gains are recognized when the related employees are terminated or a plan amendment is adopted, whichever is applicable.
As required under ASC 715, the Company remeasures plan assets and obligations during an interim period whenever a significant event occurs that results in a material change in the net periodic pension cost. The determination of significance is based on judgment and consideration of events and circumstances impacting the pension costs.
The following summarizes the key events whose effects on net periodic benefit cost and obligations are included in the tables above:
In February 2019, the Company transferred its Global 7500 wing manufacturing operations to Bombardier. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company provided special termination pension benefits to certain pension participants who transferred employment from Triumph to Bombardier. This change resulted in the recognition of a charge of $4,032 for special termination benefits.
In March 2016, one of2018, the Company's union-represented groups of employeesCompany ratified a new collective bargaining agreement with a group of union-represented employees, who were working without an agreement. The agreement includes an amendment to the other postretirement benefits plan, for which participants will no longer receive a benefit after the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. This change resulted in the termination of the plan and as a result, the plan's liability was eliminated as of March 31, 2016 and the Company recognized a credit of approximately $2,297. Additionally, the agreement includes an amendment to the pension plan, under which participants will no longer continue to accrue a benefit after the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. This change resulted in a curtailment gain of approximately $1,516 and is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations within "Curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives."
In February 2016,amendments for one of the Company's union-represented groups of employees ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. The agreement includes an amendment to theour pension plan, under which effective January 1, 2017, actively accruing participants will no longer accrue benefits once they reach 30 years ofplans and our postretirement welfare benefit plan. These amendments eliminated future service under the plans and generated curtailments, which accelerated $11,146 of prior service credits for the postretirement welfare benefits plan and accelerates $29 of prior service costs for the pension plan. This change resultedThese amounts were included in a curtailment and settlement gain, of approximately $3,314 and is presentednet on the accompanying Consolidated Statementsconsolidated statement of Operations within "Curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives."operations.
In May 2015 and February 2016 the Company offered enhanced retirement benefits to employees of one of its union-represented groups. In order to receive these enhanced benefits, eligible employees had to agree to retire within a special window period. This change resulted in a special termination charge of approximately $724 and is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations within "Curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives."
In April 2015, the Company's largest union-represented group of employees ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. The agreement includes an amendment to the pension plan, under which participants will no longer accrue benefits after 30 years of service under the plan. This change resulted in a curtailment gain of approximately $2,863 and is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations within "Curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives."
In March 2014,November 2017, the Company announced an amendment to the retirementpostretirement welfare benefits plan offor its non-represented employee participants. Effective MarchJanuary 1, 2015, actively accruing participants with 30 years of service will no longer continue to accrue a benefit.2018, the Company eliminated and reduced certain welfare benefits for non-represented retirees and active participants.

In March 2014, in connection with the Company's relocation plan, the Company has restructured the remaining workforce resulting in the termination of a number of defined benefit plan participants. The Company concluded that these terminations will result in a significant reduction in the remaining service period and recorded a curtailment loss of $8,031 and is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Curtailment, settlements and early retirement incentives". This curtailment loss included an increase in the projected pension obligation of $6,503. Additionally, as part of the layoffs, the Company recorded an early retirement incentive severance charge of $916 and is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in "Curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives."
In December 2013, the Company completed an incentive offer in the form of lump-sum payments to non-represented deferred vested employees who were not of retirement age in lieu of any future benefits. In addition, cumulative lump-sum payments to union-represented plan participants for previously offered early retirement incentives exceeded the service and interest costs of the respective plan. The aforementioned changes led to a remeasurement of the affected plan's assets and obligations as of December 2013, which resulted in a $118,391 decrease in projected benefit obligation. Additionally, these distributions resulted in settlement charges of $1,561 and are presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations within "Curtailments, settlements and early retirement incentives."operations.

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 risks and to meet future obligations.
Asset/liability studies are conducted on a regular basis to provide guidance in setting investment goals for the pension portfolio and its asset allocation. The asset allocation aims to prudently achieve a strong, risk-adjusted return while seeking to minimize funding level volatility and improve the funded status of the plans. The pension plans currently employ a liability-driven investment ("LDI") approach, where assets and liabilities move in the same direction. The goal is to limit the volatility of the funding status and cover part, but not all, of the changes in liabilities. Most of the liabilities' changes are due to interest rate movements.
To balance expected risk and return, allocation targets are established and monitored against acceptable ranges. All investment policies and procedures are designed to ensure that the plans' investments are in compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Guidelines are established defining permitted investments within each asset class. Each investment manager has contractual guidelines to ensure that investments are made within the parameters of their asset class or in the case of multi-asset class managers, the parameters of their multi-asset class strategy. Certain investments are not permitted at any time, including investment directly in employer securities and uncovered short sales.
The tables below provide the fair values of the Company's plan assets at March 31, 20162019 and 20152018, by asset category. The table also identifies the level of inputs used to determine the fair value of assets in each category (see(refer to Note 2 for definition of levels).

Cash equivalents and other short-term investments are primarily held in registered short-term investment vehicles which are valued using a market approach based on quoted market prices of similar instruments.
Public equity securities, including common stock, are primarily valued using a market approach based on the closing fair market prices of identical instruments in the principal market on which they are traded. Commingled funds that are open-ended mutual funds for which the fair value per share is determined and published by the respective mutual fund sponsor and is the basis for current observable transactions are categorized as Level 1 fair value measures. All other
Investments in commingled investment funds for which the Company uses NAVand private equity and infrastructure funds are carried at net asset value ("NAV") as a practical expedient to estimate fair value per unit are categorized as Level 2 as long as they do not have redemption restrictions as of the measurement date. All commingled investment funds with redemption restrictions as of the measurement date are categorized as Level 3, if any.value. The NAV is the total value of the fund divided by the number of shares outstanding. Adjustments to NAV, if any, are determined based on evaluation of data provided by fund managers, including valuation of the underlying investments derived using inputs such as cost, operating results, discounted future cash flows and market-based comparable data. In accordance with ASC 820-10, investments that are measured at NAV practical expedient are not classified in the fair value hierarchy; however, their fair value amounts are presented in these tables to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total plan assets disclosed in this footnote.

Assumptions and Sensitivities
The discount rate is determined as of each measurement date, based on a review of yield rates associated with long-term, high-quality corporate bonds. The calculation separately discounts benefit payments using the spot rates from a long-term, high-quality corporate bond yield curve.
The effect of a 25 basis-point change in discount rates as of March 31, 2016,2019, is shown below:

The long-term rate of return assumption represents the expected average rate of earnings on the funds invested to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligations. The long-term rate of return assumption is determined based on a number of factors, including historical market index returns, the anticipated long-term asset allocation of the plans, historical plan return data, plan expenses and the potential to outperform market index returns. For fiscal 20116,2019, the expected long-term rate of return on assets was 6.505.00 - 8.25%8.00%. For fiscal 2017,2020, the expected long-term rate of return is 6.505.00 - 8.00%.
A significant factor used in estimating future per capita cost of covered health care benefits for our retirees and us is the health care cost trend rate assumption. The rate used at March 31, 2016,2019, was 6.60%6.20% and is assumed to decrease gradually to 4.50% by fiscal 2027 and remain at that level thereafter. The effect of a one-percentage-point change in the healthcarehealth care cost trend rate in each year is shown below:

Real Estate Lease Litigation over Claims of American Brownfield MCIC, LLC
As previously disclosed, on June 13, 2013, American Brownfield MCIC, LLC (“American Brownfield”) filed suit (the “Lawsuit”) in the 298th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas against Triumph Aerostructures, LLC (“Triumph Aerostructures”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for amounts allegedly owed pursuant to a lease dated October 24, 2007, covering the use and occupancy of approximately 314 acres of land and improvements in Dallas, Texas, previously known as the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant (the “Jefferson Street Facility”). Triumph Aerostructures, the Company, and American Brownfield agreed to a mediated settlement of the Lawsuit, effective November 18, 2015. Under the terms of the settlement, American Brownfield was paid $5,000 on November 23, 2015, which is included in Legal settlement charge (gain), net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and is entitled to a second payment of $5,500 on or before May 20, 2016. The Lawsuit has been administratively closed, and will be dismissed with prejudice upon receipt by American Brownfield of the second payment. Also as part of the settlement, the Company has leased 272,683 square feet of space at the Jefferson Street Facility for a 15 year term beginning December 1, 2015, for annual base rent of $1,250.
Trade Secret Litigation over Claims of Eaton Corporation
On June 18, 2014, the Company announced it had settled all pending litigation involving the Company, its subsidiary, the employees and Eaton Corporation and several of its subsidiaries ("Eaton"). As it pertained to the lawsuit by Eaton claiming alleged misappropriation of trade secrets and intellectual property allegedly belonging to Eaton relating to the design and manufacture of hydraulic pumps and motors used in military and commercial aviation. As part of the settlement, Eaton agreed to pay the Company $135,300 in cash. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Company received payment representing a gain on legal settlement, net of expense, of $134,693, which is included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other
Certain of the Company's business operations and facilities are subject to a number of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. Former owners generally indemnify the Company for environmental liabilities related to the assets and businesses acquired which existed prior to the acquisition dates. In the opinion of management, there are no significant environmental contingent liabilities which would have a material effect on the financial condition or operating results of the Company which are not covered by such indemnification.
The Company's risk related to pension projected obligations as of March 31, 2016,2019, is significant. This amount is currently in excess of the related plan assets. Benefit plan assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of investments in both the equity and debt categories, as well as limited investments in real estate and other alternative investments. The market value of all of these investment categories may be adversely affected by external events and the movements and volatility in the financial markets, including such events as the current credit and real estate market conditions. Declines in the market values of our plan assets could expose the total asset balance to significant risk which may cause an increase to future funding requirements. The Company's potential risk related to OPEB projected obligations as of March 31, 2016,2019, is also significant.
Some raw materials and operating supplies are subject to price and supply fluctuations caused by market dynamics. The Company's strategic sourcing initiatives seek to find ways of mitigating the inflationary pressures of the marketplace. In recent years, these inflationary pressures have affected the market for raw materials. However, the Company believes that raw material prices will remain stable through the remainder of fiscal 20172020 and after that, experience increases that are in line with inflation. Additionally, the Company generally does not employ forward contracts or other financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk.
The Company's suppliers' failure to provide acceptable raw materials, components, kits and subassemblies would adversely affect production schedules and contract profitability. The Company maintains an extensive qualification and performance surveillance system to control risk associated with such supply base reliance. The Company is dependent on third parties for certain information technology services. To a lesser extent, the Company is also exposed to fluctuations in the prices of certain utilities and services, such as electricity, natural gas, chemical processing and freight. The Company utilizes a range of long-term agreements and strategic aggregated sourcing to optimize procurement expense and supply risk in these categories.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is also involved in disputes, claims and lawsuits with employees, suppliers and customers, as well as governmental and regulatory inquiries, that it deems to be immaterial. Some may involve claims or potential claims of substantial damages, fines, penalties or penalties.injunctive relief.

The Company reports financial performance based on the following three reportable segments: Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures and Product Support. The Company’s reportable segments are aligned with how the Aerostructures Group, the Aerospace Systems Groupbusiness is managed, and the Aftermarket Services Group.Company's views of the markets it serves. The Company'sChief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM") evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon review of segment information. The CODM utilizes earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and pension (“Adjusted EBITDAEBITDAP”) as a primary measure of segment profitability to evaluate performance of its segments and allocate resources.
The Aerostructures segment consists of the Company's operations that manufacture products primarily for the aerospace 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. Effective April 1, 2015, the results for Triumph Group Mexico are included in the Aerostructures segment, as doing so better represents the type of work Triumph Group Mexico is performing. Previously, Triumph Group Mexico's results were included in Corporate.
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, engine control systems, 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 Adjusted EBITDAEBITDAP is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses (less depreciation and amortization) identifiable with that segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs and any other costs not identifiable with one of the Company'sCompany’s segments, including restructuringloss on divestitures of $10,347$235,301 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.
Effective April 2016, the Company announced that it is realigning into four business units to better meet the evolving needs of its customers. The new structure better supports our go-to-market strategies and will allow us to more effectively satisfy the needs of our customers while continuing to deliver on our commitments, accelerate organic growth and drive predictable profitability.2019.
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.

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 SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal 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 March 31, 20162019, we completed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 20162019.
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Triumph Group, Inc. ("Triumph") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Triumph's internal control system over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| |
| (i) | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
| |
| (ii) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
| |
| (iii) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in condition, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Triumph's management assessed the effectiveness of Triumph's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 20162019. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) ("COSO") in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on management's assessment and those criteria, management believes that Triumph maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 20162019.
Management's assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of Triumph's internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Triumph Thermal Systems - Maryland, which was acquired in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. The acquisition, which is more fully discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2016, is included in the fiscal 2016 consolidated financial statements of Triumph Group, Inc. and represented total assets of approximately $61 million or 1% at March 31, 2016, and revenues of approximately $18 million or 0.5% for the year ended March 31, 2016. Under guidelines established by the SEC, companies are allowed to exclude acquisitions from their first assessment of internal control over financial reporting following the date of acquisition.
Triumph's independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has audited Triumph's effectiveness of Triumph's internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on the following page.
