Standards Recently Implemented
In MarchFebruary 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective April 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Standards Issued Not Yet Implemented
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contractsrequires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”, “ASC 606”corresponding right-of-use ("ROU"), which requires recognition of revenue to depict assets.  The Company adopted the transferstandard as of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has issued several updates to ASU 2014-09 which must be adopted concurrently with ASU 2014-09.
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services transfers to a customer and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The major provisions include determining enforceable rights and obligation between parties, defining performance obligations as the units of accounting under contract, accounting for variable consideration, and determining whether performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point of time. Additionally, ASC 606 requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
ASC 606 will be effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2018. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (the “full retrospective method”), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 recognized at the date of initial application (the "modified retrospective method”). The Company is adopting ASC 606 effective April 1, 2018 and the Company expects to do so2019, using the modified retrospective method.approach and applying the standard’s transition provisions at the adoption date.

Duringor after April 1, 2019, are presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases. Prior periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous accounting standards. The Company elected the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we established a cross-functional teampackage of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allows us to assess and prepare for implementation ofcarryforward the new standard. We are analyzing the impacthistorical lease classification.
Adoption of the new standard onresulted in the Company’s revenue contracts, comparing our current accounting policiesrecognition of operating lease ROU assets and practiceslease liabilities of $76,444 and $84,663, respectively, with the difference due to prepaid and deferred rent that were reclassified to the requirementsROU asset value. An adjustment to opening retained earnings of the new$225 was also recognized. The standard and identifying potential differences that would result from applying the new standard todid not materially affect our contracts, as well as any potential impacts.consolidated net income or cash flows. See Note 5 for further details.
While further analysis of ASC 606 and a review of all material contracts is underway, the adoption of ASC 606 will impact the amount and timing of revenue recognition and the accounting treatment of capitalized pre-production costs for certain of our contracts. Under ASC 606, the units-of-delivery method is no longer viable and some performance obligations may be satisfied over time which will change the timing of recognition of revenue and associated production costs for certain contracts.
ASC 606 is applied by analyzing each contract, or a combination of contracts, to determine if revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time. The Company has determined that some of its contracts will have performance obligations that are satisfied over time and some at a point in time based on when control of goods and services transfers to the customer.
For performance obligations that are satisfied over time, the Company will most likely use an input method as the basis for recognizing revenue. Input methods recognize revenue on the basis of an entity’s efforts or inputs toward satisfying a performance obligation (for example, resources consumed, labor hours expended, costs incurred, time lapsed, or machine hours used) relative to the total expected inputs to satisfy the performance obligation. Performance obligations that are not recognized over time will be recognized at a point in time.
ASC 606 requires the Company to record performance obligations for material rights granted to the customer when contracts offer the customer future purchase options at an incremental discount. The Company is evaluating whether performance obligations for material rights exist for certain contracts which may result in deferral of revenues attributable to such rights. When the material rights are identified, the revenue recognized under ASC 606 results in a different revenue recognition pattern when compared to the revenue recognized under legacy GAAP. However, the Company’s operating cash flows from our contracts with customers will not change. The Transition Adjustment will include the establishment of contract assets and liabilities for billings that are lower than, or in excess of, revenue that has been recognized.
The adoption of ASC 606 will not change the Company's accounting method for forward losses. Forward losses relating to unfulfilled contracts and options will continue to be recorded consistent with historical accounting policies.
Under ASC 606, production costs are generally expensed as incurred and not deferred. Additionally, ASC 340-40 is to be applied if existing guidance is not applicable. The Company’s accounting for preproduction, tooling, and certain other costs is expected to continue under existing guidance since they generally do not fall within the scope of ASC 340-40. The Company typically does not incur costs for obtaining contracts that would be capitalized under ASC 340-40.
In March 2017,February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

ASU 2017-07 amends ASC 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits, on items within AOCI to require employers that present a measureretained earnings. We adopted the provisions of operating income in their statement of income to include only the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in operating expenses (together with other employee compensation costs). The other components of net benefit cost, including amortization of prior service cost/credit, and settlement and curtailment effects, are to be included in nonoperating expenses.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Use of Estimates


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition

Revenues are generally recognized in accordance with the contract terms when products are shipped, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. A significant portion of the Company’s contracts are within the scope of the Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts topic of the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-35 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 toward completion. Depending on the contract, the Company measures progress toward completion using either the cost-to-cost method or the units-of-delivery method of accounting, with the great majority measured under the units-of-delivery method of accounting.

Under the cost-to-cost method of accounting, progress toward completion is measured as the ratio of total costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion. Costs are recognized as incurred. Profit is determined based on estimated profit margin on the contract multiplied by the progress toward completion. Revenue represents the sum of costs and profit on the contract for the period.
Under the units-of-delivery method of accounting, revenue on a contract is recorded as the units are delivered and accepted during the period at an amount equal to the contractual selling price of those units. The costs recorded on a contract under the units-of-delivery method of accounting are equal to the total costs at completion divided by the total units to be delivered. As contracts can span multiple years, the Company often segments the contracts into production lots for the purposes of accumulating and allocating cost. Profit is recognized as the difference between revenue for the units delivered and the estimated costs for the units delivered.

Adjustments to original estimates for a contract’s revenues, estimated costs at completion and estimated total profit are often required as work progresses under a contract, as experience is gained and as more information is obtained, even though the scope of work required under the contract may not change, or if contract modifications occur. These estimates are also sensitive to the assumed rate of production. Generally, the longer it takes to complete the contract quantity, the more relative overhead that contract will absorb. The impact of revisions in cost estimates is recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are made. Provisions for anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in the period in which they become evident (‘‘forward losses’’) and are first offset against costs that are included in inventory, with any remaining amount reflected in accrued contract liabilities in accordance with the Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts topic. Revisions in contract estimates, if significant, can materially affect results of operations and cash flows, as well as valuation of inventory. Furthermore, certain contracts are combined or segmented for revenue recognition in accordance with the Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts topic.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company discovered an immaterial error in its percentage-of-completion accounting for one of its contracts, which understated cost of sales and overstated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016, in the amount of $11,800 and $8,142, respectively, and overstated retained earnings as of March 31, 2016 in the amount of $12,700. The Company assessed the materiality of this error on previously issued financial statements in accordance with the ASC 250, Presentation of Financial Statements, and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality. The Company concluded, based on a review of the quantitative and qualitative factors of the materiality of the amount, that the error was not material to any previously issued financial statements and that the correction of the error in the three months ended September 30, 2016 was not material to that period’s financial statements.

Accordingly, in orderRevenue Recognition
The Company's revenue is principally from contracts with customers to correct this immaterial error,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 recordedfor the duration of the program’s life. Purchase orders (or authorizations to proceed) are issued pursuant to the master supply agreements. Additionally, a chargemajority 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 "Costcustomers. The Company generally enters into agreements directly with its customers and is the principal in all current contracts.
The identification of sales"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 management 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 a 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 $24,500,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 includes 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 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 presentedrecognized 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 cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the proportion of costs incurred to date to the total 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 warrant a modification to a previous estimate. Cost estimates are largely based on negotiated or estimated purchase contract terms, historical performance trends and other economic projections. Significant factors that influence 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 are 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 the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion.

Amounts representing contract change orders or claimsRevenues for performance obligations that are only includednot recognized over time are recognized at the point in revenuetime when such change orders or claims have been settled withcontrol transfers to the customer. For performance obligations that are 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 the extent that units have been delivered. Additionally, some contracts may contain provisions for revenue sharing, price re-determination, requests for equitable adjustments, change orders or cost and/orcustomers. 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 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 allThe portion of the costs the Company 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, the Company recognized provisions for forward losses associated with our long-term contracts on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. There is still risk similarcustomers pertains to what the Company has experienced on the 747-8 and Bombardier programs. Particularly, the Company's 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, potential need to negotiate facility lease extensions or alternatively relocate work and many other risks, will determine the ultimate performance of these programs.
Included in net sales of Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures and Precision Components, is the non-cash amortization of acquired contract liabilities that were recognized as fair value adjustments through purchase accounting from various acquisitions. For
Leases
The Company leases office space, manufacturing facilities, land, vehicles, and equipment. The Company determines if an agreement is or contains a lease at the threelease inception date and recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date. A ROU asset and corresponding lease liability are not recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months ended December 31, 2017or less (short-term leases).

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and 2016,lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The determination of the length of lease terms is affected by options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The existence of significant economic incentive is the primary consideration when assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain of exercising an option in a lease. Both finance and operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized $34,492at commencement date and $29,206, respectively, into net salesmeasured as the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. As the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily available for most of the Company's leases, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The estimated incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date. The lease ROU asset recognized at commencement is adjusted for any lease payments related to initial direct costs, prepayments, and lease incentives.
For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, lease expense comprises the amortization of the ROU assets recognized on a straight-line basis generally over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the underlying asset and interest on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statementslease liability. Variable lease payments not dependent on a rate or index are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement upon which those payments are contingent is probable of Income.

The Company applies the proportional performance method of accounting to recognize revenue under these contracts. Revenue is recognized over the contract period as unitshas lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are delivered based on the relative value in proportion to the total estimated contract consideration. In estimating the total contract consideration, management evaluates the projected utilization of its customers’ fleet over the term of the contract, in connectioncombined with the related estimated repairlease components and overhaul servicing requirements to the fleet based on such utilization. Changes in utilizationaccounted for as lease components for all classes 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.underlying assets.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s trade accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. However, the risk is limited due to the diversity of the customer base and the customer base’s wide geographical area. Trade accounts receivable from The Boeing Company ("Boeing") (representing commercial, military and space) represented approximately 11%17% and 5%18% of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2017,2019, respectively. Trade accounts receivable from Gulfstream (representing commercial, military and space)Aerospace Corporation ("Gulfstream") represented approximately 14%7% and 3%11% of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2017,2019, respectively. Trade accounts receivable from Bombardier Inc. ("Bombardier") represented approximately 14% and 13% as of September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The Company had no other concentrations of credit risk of more than 10%.

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 divestitures and interest rate swap (see Note 3 and Note 5)3).
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-year3-year warranty, although certain programs have warranties up to 20twenty years. The warranty reserves as of December 31, 2017September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2017,2019, were $85,516$60,207 and $107,088,$58,395, respectively. The decrease in warranty reserves during the first nine months of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, were offset by a corresponding decrease to the related indemnification asset, which is included in other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 representbeen 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 period ended September 30, 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 strategic shiftperiod 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 isliability balances. When contracts are modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements, the Company considers 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 expecteddistinct from the existing contract, due to havethe 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 major effectcontract modification to an existing contract on the Company's operationstransaction 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 financial results, as defined by ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations;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 result, the disposals do not meet the criteria to benew contract and performance obligation, which are recognized prospectively.
Contract balances are classified as discontinued operations.
To measure the amount of impairment related to the divestitures, the Company compared the fair values of assets andor liabilities at the evaluation dates to the carrying amountson a contract-by-contract basis at the end of the month prior to the respective evaluation dates.each reporting period.

The Global 7000 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 phase of the program, and uncertainty regarding cost reduction and cost recovery initiatives with our customer and suppliers.
The Global 7000 program has continued to incur costs since March 2016 in support of the development and transition to production.
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 the Global 7000 business aircraft. The settlement resets the commercial relationship between the companies and allows each company to better achieve its business objectives going forward.
Further cost increases or an inability to meet revised recurring cost forecasts on the Global 7000 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.
The Company is still in the pre-production stages for the Bombardier and Embraer programs, as these aircrafts are not scheduled to enter service until calendar year 2018, or later. 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 Bombardier and Embraer programs to generate acceptable levels of aircraft sales. The failure to achieve these milestones and level of sales or significant cost overruns may result in additional forward losses.

7.9.    INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the Income TaxesTaxes topic of ASC 740, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition,de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

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 introduces tax reform that reduces 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

15


Table of Contents

(unaudited)

impact of these changes on the Company. The Company has recorded a provisional tax benefit of $24,573 related to the impact of the Act’s reduction in the statutory tax rate on its net deferred tax liability, as well as a provisional tax liability of $2,175 imposed on unremitted foreign earnings under the Act’s mandatory repatriation provisions. The Company has prepared a reasonable estimate around the impact of the Act and has recorded the provisional impact (as described in SAB 118)as discrete adjustments noted above to the tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2017. While the Company believes these are reasonable estimates of the impact of the Act, additional time is needed to finalize these estimates. While the Company has computed and recorded these provisional amounts, these will be finalized within the established measurement period (not to exceed one year) as additional data and information is gathered. The Company determined that the amounts recorded are provisional as adjustments may occur due to additional guidance from the IRS, the earnings and profit at March 31, 2018, and as certain tax positions are finalized when the Company files its 2018 tax returns.

Due to the legislative changes aforementioned, companies need to continually reevaluate their indefinite assertion. Additional withholding taxes and/or deferred tax liability associated with basis differences may be required, but due to the legislative uncertainty around the withholding taxes on distributions under the act, no estimate has been recorded as of December 31, 2017. This will be analyzed within the proscribed measurement period. The Company continues to review the anticipated impacts around the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) and the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) which are not effective until the year ended March 31, 2019. The Company has not recorded any impact of these provisions as of December 31, 2017, but plans to perform a full analysis within the proscribed measurement period.
The Company has classified uncertain tax positions as noncurrent income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid in one year. Penalties and tax-related interest expense are reported as a component of income tax expense. expense and are not significant.

As of December 31, 2017September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2017, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties was $312 and $282, respectively.

As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017,2019, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $11,403$19,446 and $10,266,$19,152, respectively, most of which$11,403 and $10,266, respectively, would impact the effective rate, if recognized. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced in the next 12 months.
As of December 31, 2017,September 30, 2019, the Company has a valuation allowance against principally all of its net deferred tax assets given insufficient positive evidence to support the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets.  The Company intends to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on its 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 its valuation allowance is unknown at this time and will be subject to the earnings level the Company achieves during fiscal 20182020 as well as the Company's income in future periods.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2017,September 30, 2019, was 22.2%21.0% as compared to 17.3%with (2.2)% for the three months ended December 31, 2016.September 30, 2018.

The Company's most recent annual goodwill impairment test was performed for all reporting units as of February 1, 2017. The Company also performs 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. The Company performed an interim assessment of the fair value of its goodwill due to the Company's decision to combine the Aerospace Structures and Precision Components reporting segments into one reporting segment as noted above. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35-3C, there are several potential events and circumstances that could be indicators of goodwill impairment. A change in a company's reporting unit structure is one of these events, and when this does occur, a company must perform a "before and after" test of the reporting units (see Note 1). 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 described in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the Company performed the goodwill impairment test which includes using a combination of both the market and income approaches to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit.
After performing the "before" portion of the test of the reporting units and concluded that the Precision Component's reporting unit had a fair value that was lower then its carrying value by an amount of $(190,227). Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 of $(190,227), 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 test of the reporting units and concluded that the new reporting unit of Aerospace Structure's goodwill had a fair value that was lower then its carrying value by an amount that exceeded the remaining goodwill for the 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 will record a non-cash impairment charge during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 of $345,001, which will be presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Impairment of intangible assets” for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. 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 (See Note 2 for definition of fair value levels).
As of December 31, 2017, Aerospace Structures has goodwill of $863,901, which was fully impaired and the Precision Components' impairment charge noted above represents its accumulated impairment charges.

9.11.     PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees. Certain employee groups are ineligible to participate in the plans or have ceased to accrue additional benefits under the plans based upon their service to the Company or years of service accrued under the defined benefit pension plans. Benefits under the defined benefit plans are based on years of service and, for most non-represented employees, on average compensation for certain years. It is the Company’s policy to fund at least the minimum amount required for all qualified plans, using actuarial cost methods and assumptions acceptable under U.S. government regulations (and for non-U.S. plans, acceptable under local regulations), by making payments into a separate trust.
In addition to the defined benefit pension plans, the Company provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. Such benefits are unfunded. Employees achieve eligibility to participate in these contributory plans upon retirement from active service if they meet specified age and years of service requirements. Election to participate for some employees must be made at the date of retirement. Qualifying dependents at the date of retirement aremay also be eligible for medical coverage. Current plan documents reserve the right to amend or terminate the plans at any time, subject to applicable collective bargaining requirements for represented employees. From time to time, changes have been made to the benefits provided to various groups of plan participants. Premiums charged to most retirees for medical coverage prior to age 65 are based on years of service and are adjusted annually for changes in the cost of the plans as determined by an independent actuary. In addition to this medical inflation cost-sharing feature, the plans also have provisions for deductibles, co-payments, coinsurance percentages, out-of-pocket limits, schedules of reasonable fees, preferred provider networks, coordination of benefits with other plans and a Medicare carve-out.
In accordance with the Compensation – Retirement Benefits topic of ASC 715, the Company has recognized the funded status of the benefit obligation as of the date of the last remeasurement,re-measurement, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.condensed consolidated balance sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan’s assets and the pension benefit obligation or accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, of the plan. In order to recognize the funded status, the Company determined the fair value of the plan assets. The majority of the plan assets are publicly traded investments, which were valued based on the market price as of the date of remeasurement.re-measurement. 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.

13.15.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is 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 injunctive relief. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending or future litigation or proceeding and no assurances can be given, the Company does not believe that any pending matter will have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on its financial position or results of operations. In the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company was awarded $5,400 in a legal judgment associated with a longstanding litigation matter arising from a prior acquisition. The Company expects to receive an additional $3,000 to $5,000 from this matter as reimbursement of legal expenses.
As the Company completes its restructuring plans as disclosed in Note 16, including the disposal of certain facilities, the Company may be exposed to additional costs such as environmental remediation obligations, lease termination costs, or supplier claims which may have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations when such matters arise and a reasonable estimate of the costs can be made.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations






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


(The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein.)


OVERVIEW
We are a major supplier to the aerospace industry and have fourthree operating segments: (i) Integrated Systems, whose companies’ revenues are derived from integrated solutions, including design, development and support of proprietary components, subsystems and systems, as well as production of complex assemblies using external designs; (ii) Aerospace Structures, whose companies supply commercial, business, regional and military manufacturers with large metallic and composite structures; (iii) Precision Components, whose companiesstructures and produce close-tolerance parts primarily to customer designs and model-basedmodel based definition, including a wide range of aluminum, hard metal and composite structure capabilities; and (iv)(iii) Product Support, whose companies provide full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional and military aircraft.
Effective January 1, 2018, we combined our Aerospace Structures and Precision Components reporting segments into one reporting segment, Aerospace Structures. Aerospace Structures and Precision Components share many ofDuring the same customers and suppliers and have substantial inter-company work on common programs. As a single operating segment, we believe we will be able to leverage their combined resources to make it more cost competitive and enhance performance. The newly formed operating segment will also be a reportable segment. As a result, effective January 1, 2018, we will have three reporting segments for future financial reporting purposes - Integrated Systems, Product Support and Aerospace Structures.
In September 2017,fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company solddivested of a number of its assets and operations, including (i) selling all of the shares of Triumph Structures - East Texas, Inc. and all of the shares of Triumph Structures - Los Angeles, Inc. and Triumph Processing, Inc. (collectively, the "Long & Large"), (ii) transitioning the responsibility for the Bombardier Global 7500 ("Global 7500") wing program manufacturing operations of Aerospace Structures to Bombardier, (iii) selling all of the shares of Triumph Fabrications - EmbeeSan Diego, Inc. and Triumph Fabrications - Ft. Worth, Inc. (together, "Fabrications"), (iv) selling all of the shares of Triumph Structures – Kansas City, Inc., Triumph Structures – Wichita, Inc., Triumph Gear Systems – Toronto, ULC and Triumph Northwest (The Triumph Group Operations, Inc.) (together, "Machining"), and (v) selling all of the shares of Triumph Aviation Services - NAAS Division, Inc. ("Embee"NAAS") for total cash proceeds of $64,986. As a result of. Collectively, these transactions are referred to as the sale of Embee, the"fiscal 2019 divestitures." The Company recognized acombined 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 $17,857, which isNAAS, the operating results for the fiscal 2019 divestitures are included in Corporate.Aerospace Structures ("fiscal 2019 Aerospace Structures Divestitures") through the respective dates of divestiture. The operating results of Embee werefor NAAS are included in Integrated SystemsProduct Support through the date of disposal.divestiture.
Highlights for the thirdsecond quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 20182020, included:
Net sales for the thirdsecond quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 20182020, were $775.2$772.1 million, compared to $844.9with $855.1 million for the prior year period.
Operating lossincome in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20182020 was $(119.7) million and included a non-cash impairment charge of $190.2$61.0 million, compared to $55.2with operating loss of $2.0 million for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017.2019.
Net lossincome for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20182020 was $113.3$42.7 million, compared towith a net incomeloss of $29.3$14.7 million for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017.2019.
Backlog as of December 31, 2017September 30, 2019, was $4.36$3.66 billion. Of our existing backlog of $4.36$3.66 billion, we estimate that approximately $1.72$1.41 billion will not be shipped by December 31, 2018.September 30, 2020.
Net lossincome for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20182020 was $2.29$0.85 per diluted common share, as compared towith a net incomeloss of $0.59$0.30 per diluted share in the prior year period.
We used $198.3$10.6 million of cash flow from operating activities for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2017,September 30, 2019, as compared towith cash used in operations of $172.7$197.2 million in the comparable prior year period.
WeThe Company has committed to several plans (which were initiated in fiscal 2016) that incorporateincorporated the restructuring of certain of ourits businesses as well as the consolidation of certain of ourits facilities. We expectWith the exception of certain consolidations and related shutdowns to reduce our footprint by approximately 4.5 million square feet and to reduce head count by 1,300 employees. Over the course of the plans (which were initiatedbe completed in fiscal 2016), we estimate that we will record aggregate pre-tax charges of $195.0 million to $210.0 million related tofuture years, these plans which represent employee termination benefits, contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation and facility closure and other exit costs, and will result in future cash outlays.were substantially complete as of March 31, 2019. For the ninesix months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2019 and 2016, we recorded charges of $33.82018, the Company incurred $8.7 million and $28.2$15.9 million respectively, relatedin restructuring costs, respectively. As disclosed in Note 15, the Company may be exposed to these plans.additional costs that are not yet known or reasonably estimable which may have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations when such matters are identified and become reasonably estimable.
Our 2016 and 2017 restructuring plans and related activities were anticipated to generate annualized savings of approximately $300 million per year on a consolidated basis by fiscal year 2019 from facility consolidations, headcount reductions, operational efficiencies, and supply chain optimization. These anticipated savings were expected to come from our reportable segments approximately as follows: Integrated Systems - 23%; Aerospace Structures - 46%; Precision Components -

(continued)


26% and Product Support - 5%. A significant portion of the anticipated savings are expected to be reinvested inFrom fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2019, our Aerospace Structures business development, research &unit had been performing design, development and capital improvements to help drive organic growth. Through December 31, 2017, the Company is on target for its consolidated anticipated savings goals, however the nature of those savings has shifted over time to be more weighted towards our supply chain optimization and operational efficiencies than previously anticipated, offset by reduced expectations associated with the facility consolidations and headcount reductions.
Our most recent annual goodwill impairment test was performed for all reporting units as of February 1, 2017. We also perform 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. We performed an interim assessment of the fair value of our goodwill due to our decision to combine the Aerospace Structures and Precision Components reporting segments into one reporting segment as noted above. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35-3C, there are several potential events and circumstances that could be indicators of goodwill impairment. A change in a company's reporting unit structure 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 our policy described in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, we performed the goodwill impairment test, which includes using a combination of both the market and income approaches to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit.
After performing the "before" portion of the test of the reporting units and concluded that the Precision Component's goodwill had a fair value that was lower then its carrying value by an amount of $190.2 million. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge during the 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 test of the reporting units and concluded that the new reporting unit of Aerospace Structure's goodwill had a fair value that was lower then its carrying value by an amount that exceeded the remaining goodwill for the reporting unit. Following the applicable accounting guidance, this impairment charge is deemed to have occurred during the Company's fiscal fourth quarter. Therefore, we will record a non-cash impairment charge during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 of $345.0 million, which will be presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Impairment of intangible assets” for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. 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 (See Note 2 for definition of fair value levels).
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 introduces tax reform that reduces 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 recorded a provisional tax benefit of $24.6 million related to the impact of the Act’s reduction in the statutory tax rate on its net deferred tax liability, as well as a provisional tax liability of $2.2 million imposed on unremitted foreign earnings under the Act’s mandatory repatriation provisions. The Company has prepared a reasonable estimate around the impact of the Act and has recorded the provisional impact (SAB 118) as discrete adjustments noted above to the tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2017. While the Company believes these are reasonable estimates of the impact of the Act, additional time is needed to finalize these estimates. While the Company has computed and recorded these provisional amounts, these will be finalized within the established measurement period (not to exceed one year) as additional data and information is gathered. The Company determined that the amounts recorded are provisional as adjustments may occur due to additional guidance from the IRS, the earnings and profit at March 31, 2018, and as certain tax positions are finalized when the Company files its 2018 tax returns.

Due to the legislative changes aforementioned, companies need to continually reevaluate their indefinite assertion. Additional withholding taxes and/or deferred tax liability associated with basis differences may be required, but due to the legislative uncertainty around the withholding taxes on distributions under the act, no estimate has been recorded as of December 31, 2017. This will be analyzed within the proscribed measurement period. The Company continues to review the anticipated impacts around the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) and the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) which are not effective until the year ended March 31, 2019. The Company has not recorded any impact of these provisions as of December 31, 2017, but plans to perform a full analysis within the proscribed measurement period.

We are currently performing workinitial manufacturing on several new programs, which are in various stages of development. Several of the these programs are expected to enter flight testing during calendar 2018, including the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 ("Bombardier"), and Embraer second generation E-Jet ("E2-Jets") and we expect to deliver revenue generating production units for these programs in calendar 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,While work progressed on these development programs, we anticipate thathave experienced difficulties in achieving estimated cost targets particularly in the areas of engineering and estimated recurring costs which resulted in forward losses. Additionally, from fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2019, our Aerospace Structures business unit experienced operating and forward losses on its production of 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.
E2-Jets
Under our contract with Embraer, we had 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 provided for funding on a fixed amount of these programsnonrecurring costs, to be paid over a specified number of production units. Higher than expected spending on the E2-Jets program resulted in a near break-even estimated profit margin percentage, with additional potential future cost pressures as well as opportunities for improved performance. Risks related to additional engineering as well as the recurring cost profile remain 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 begin generating full-rate production level revenues between calendarbuild 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 completed the assignment of our contract during the three months ended September 30, 2019, and fiscal 2021. recognized a gain of approximately $10,000 included in our Aerospace Structures operating income.
G500/G600
We are still in the earlyfinal development stages for the Gulfstream G500/G600 programs, as these aircraft are not expected to enter service untilin fiscal 2019.2020. 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.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we incurred approximately $86.5 million in capitalized pre-production costs associated with the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 and the Embraer second generation E-Jet programs, for which we have not yet begun deliveries. We expect to incur additional costs related to these programs as they continue to develop. Inventory costs are evaluated for recoverability through their inclusion in the total costs used in the calculation of each contract's estimated profit margin. When the estimated total contract costs exceed total estimated contract revenues, a forward loss is established. We may incur additional costs related to these programs if there are further delays due to our customer or our capability to execute timely.
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 resulting in previously recorded forward loss provisions. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded a $399.8 million forward loss on our Global 7000/8000 wing contract. 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 provision for forward losses on the Global 7000/8000 program 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 phase of the program and uncertainty regarding cost reduction and cost recovery initiatives with our customer and suppliers.
The program has continued to incur costs since March 2016 in support of development and transition to production.
On December 22, 2016, Triumph Aerostructures, LLC, the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that is party to the Global 7000/8000 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 non-recurring 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 7000 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 7000/8000 business aircraft. The settlement resets the commercial relationship between the companies and allows each company to better achieve its business objectives going forward.
 Under our contract with Embraer, we have 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. The contract provides for funding on a fixed amount of non-recurring costs, which will be paid over a specified number of production units. Higher than expected spending on the E2-Jets program has resulted in a near breakeven estimated profit margin percentage, with additional potential future cost pressures as well as opportunities for improved performance. Risks related to additional engineering as well as the recurring cost profile remains as this program completes flight testing.
Further cost increases or an inability to meet revised recurring cost forecasts on the Global 7000/8000 and Embraer programsG500/G600 program may result in additional forward loss reserves in future periods, while improvements in future costs compared towith 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 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 work statement changes throughout our$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 life as a standard coursewith IAI will terminate upon completion of business.  We recentlythe 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 a preliminaryan agreement with Gulfstream across many programs we support, including but not limited to optimize the supply chain on the Company's G650 work scope. The G650 wing program. Webox and wing completion work, which had been co-produced across three facilities at both companies, are also currently engagedbeing consolidated into Gulfstream’s facilities in Savannah, Georgia. The Company completed the manufacturing of its final wing box in July 2019. The Company maintains its role as the supply chain integrator on the program and has since returned this contract to modest profitability.
In September 2017, the Company reached an agreement with other customersBoeing to supply the wing, vertical tail and horizontal tail structures for the new Advanced Pilot Training program for the U.S. Air Force. In September 2018, the U.S. Air Force awarded the contract to Boeing. In fiscal 2019, the Company initiated supply chain analysis in similar negotiations.  The abilitysupport of Boeing's preliminary design. Risks related to recover or negotiate additional consideration is not certaindevelopment and varies by contract.  Varying market conditions for these products may also impactrecurring productions costs are possible and could result in future profitability.forward losses.
Although none of these newthe development or production programs noted above individually isare 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 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 provides 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.
As disclosed during fiscal 2016, Boeing announced a rate reduction to the 747-8 program, which lowers production to one plane every two months. We assessed the impact of the rate reduction and recorded an additional $161.4 million forward loss during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. 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 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, potential need to negotiate facility lease extensions or alternatively relocate work and many other risks, will determine the ultimate performance of these long-term programs.
Recognition of additional forward losses in the future periods continues to be a risk and will depend upon several factors, including the impact 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 and our ability to successfully resolve claims and assertions with our customers and suppliers.
In December 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest Triumph Air Repair, the Auxiliary Power Unit Overhaul Operations of Triumph Aviation Services - Asia, Ltd. and Triumph Engines - Tempe ("Engines and APU"). As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $14,263 on the sale. The operating results of Engines and APU were included in Product Support through the date of disposal. The transaction closed during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
In September 2016, the Company sold all of the shares of Triumph Aerospace Systems-Newport News, Inc. ("Newport News) for total cash proceeds of $9,000. As a result of the sale of Newport News, the Company recognized a loss of $4,774, which is included in Corporate. The operating results of Newport News were included in Integrated Systems through the date of disposal.
The divestitures of Engines and APU and Newport News are subsequently referred to as the "fiscal 2017 divestitures."
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 allow 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 the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") guidance on Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations,, we

also disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures in our public filings and earning releases. Currently, the non-GAAP financial measuremeasures that we disclose isare Adjusted EBITDA, which is our net income from continuing operations(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, legal settlements 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 net income.income (loss). In calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP, we exclude from 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 income (loss), income from continuing operations, 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 income (loss) or income from continuing operations.. In addition, we urge investors and potential investors in our securities to carefully review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP to net income (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 net income from continuing operations(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 net income (loss) to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP and the material limitations associated with using thisthese non-GAAP financial measuremeasures as compared towith net income (loss) or income from continuing operations:
DivestituresGains 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 they 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.

(continued)

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 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.

Business Segment Performance - Three months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2019, compared towith three months ended December 31, 2016September 30, 2018
We report our financial performance based on the following fourthree reportable segments: Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures, Precision Components and Product Support. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") utilizes Adjusted EBITDAP 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, Integrated Systems, which generally includes proprietary products and/or arrangements in whichwhere we become the primary source or one of a few primary sources to our customers, whereby 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. This compares to Aerospace Structures, which 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. In contrast, Product Support provides MRO services on components and accessories manufactured by third parties, with more diverse competition, including airlines, OEMs and other third-party service providers. In addition, variability in the timing and extent of customer requests performed in Product Support can provide for greater volatility and less predictability in revenue and earnings than that experienced in Integrated Systems and Aerospace Structures and Precision Components segments.
Integrated Systems consists of the Company’s operations that providesprovide 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-mechanicalelectromechanical 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-mechanicaland hydromechanical and electromechanical primary and secondary flight controls; and a broad spectrum of surface treatment options.controls.
Aerospace Structures consists of the Company’s operations that supply commercial, business, regional and military manufacturers with large metallic and composite structures.structures and aircraft interior systems, including air ducting and thermal acoustic insulations systems. Products include wings, wing boxes, fuselage panels, horizontal and vertical tails, and sub-assembliessubassemblies such as floor grids. Inclusive of most of the former Vought Aircraft Division,grids, and aircraft interior systems, including air ducting and thermal acoustic insulations systems. Aerospace Structures also has the capability to engineer detailed structural designs in metal and composites.
Precision Components consists of the Company’s operations that produce close-tolerance parts primarily to customer designs and model-based definition, including a wide range of aluminum, hard metal and composite structure capabilities. Capabilities include complex machining, gear manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, forming, advanced composite and interior structures, joining processes such as welding, autoclave bonding and conventional mechanical fasteners and a variety of special processes, including: super plastic titanium forming, aluminum and titanium chemical milling, surface treatments, and surface treatments.integrated testing and certification services.
Product Support consists of the Company’s operations that providesprovide full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional and military aircraft. The Company’s extensive product and service offerings include full post-delivery value chain services that simplify the MRO supply chain. Through its lineground support equipment maintenance, component MRO and postproductionpost-production supply chain activities, Product Support is positioned to provide integrated planeside repair solutions globally. Capabilities include fuel tank repair, metallic and composite aircraft structures, nacelles,structures; nacelles; thrust reversers, interiors,reversers; interiors; auxiliary power unitsunits; and a wide variety of pneumatic, hydraulic, fuel and mechanical accessories.
We currently generate a majority of our revenue from clientscustomers in the commercial aerospace industry, the military, the business jet industry and the regional airline industry. Our growth and financial results are largely dependent on continued demand for our products and services from clientscustomers in these industries. If any of these industries experiences a downturn, our clientscustomers in these sectors may conduct less business with us. The following table summarizes our net sales by end market by business segment. The loss of one or more of our major customers or an economic downturn in the commercial airline or the military and defense markets could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The increase was primarily due to increased volumes on aftermarket spare part sales as well as approximately $5.0 million in a nonrecurring licensing transaction.
Integrated Systems cost of sales increased by $7.8 million, or 4.2%, to $192.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $184.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was driven by the increased sales volume noted above partially offset by the reversal of $5.3 million in acquired contract reserves due to contract modifications.
The gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was 32.6% compared with 29.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2019, is the result of a change in sales mix, the nonrecurring licensing transaction, and the reversal of the acquired contract reserve note above.

Aerospace Structures operating increased by $128.2 million, or 125.3%, to $25.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared with an operating loss of $102.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018. The organic operating income increased $77.3 million or 150.4%. Operating income increased as a result of the fiscal 2019 Aerostructures divestitures prior period operating losses of $51.0 million. Organic operating income increased for the same reasons noted above for gross margin as well as lower compensation due to decreased severance and headcount and the approximately $10.0 million gain recognized as a result of the transfer of the E-2 Jets program to ASTK. The increase in Adjusted EBITDAP year over year is due to the same factors that increased operating income.

provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, included the proceeds from the issuance of our Senior Notes due 2025 of $500.0 million, offset by repayment of the 2013 Term Loan of $302.3 million, payment of financing fees $17.7 million and additional borrowings on our Credit Facility (as defined below).
As of December 31, 2017, $719.8September 30, 2019, $393.3 million was available under our revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) after consideration of covenant limitations.  On December 31, 2017,September 30, 2019, an aggregate amount of approximately $50.0$67.4 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, all of which was accruing interest at LIBOR plus applicable basis points totaling 3.50% per annum.

We believe that cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for our current operations for the foreseeable future. However, we are continuously evaluating various acquisition and divestiture opportunities. In the event that such a transaction occurs, the availability under the Credit Facility may change or be fully utilized and additional funding sources may be needed. There can be no assurance that such funding sources will be available to us on terms favorable to us, if at all.
At December 31, 2017,September 30, 2019, there was $109.2$65.9 million outstanding under our receivable securitization facility ("Securitization Facility"). Interest rates on the Securitization Facility are based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper, plus a program fee and a commitment fee. The Securitization Facility's net availability is not impactedaffected by the borrowing capacity of the Credit Facility.
In July 2017, the Company entered into a Ninth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment” and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Ninth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party thereto to, among other things, (i) permit the Company to incur High Yield Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million, subject to the Company’s obligations to apply the net proceeds from this offering to repay the outstanding principal amount of the term loans in full, (ii) limit the mandatory prepayment provisions to eliminate the requirement that net proceeds received from the incurrence of Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement), including the High Yield Indebtedness, be applied to reduce the revolving credit commitments once the revolving credit commitments have been reduced to $800.0 million, (iii) amend certain covenants and other terms and (iv) modify the current interest rate and letter of credit pricing tiers.
The Credit Facility also provided for a variable rate term loan (the "2013 Term Loan"). The Company repaid the outstanding principal amount of the 2013 Term Loan in quarterly installments, on the first business day of each January, April, July and October. The 2013 Term Loan was paid in full with the proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2025 (see below).
In May 2017, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment Effective Date”), among the Company and its lenders to, among other things, (i) eliminate the total leverage ratio financial covenant, (ii) increase the maximum permitted senior secured leverage ratio financial covenant applicable to each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, and to revise the step-downs applicable to such financial covenant, (iii) reduce the aggregate principal amount of commitments under the revolving line of credit to $800.0 million from $1.0 billion, (iv) modify the maturity date of the term loans so that all of the term loans will mature on March 31, 2019, and (v) establish a new higher pricing tier for the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing provisions.
The Company is currently in compliance with all such covenants. Although the Company does not anticipate any violations of the financial covenants, its ability to comply with these covenants is dependent upon achieving earnings and cash flow projections.
On August 17, 2017, the Company issued $500.0 million principal amount of 7.750% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The 2025 Notes were sold at 100% of principal amount and have an effective interest yield of 7.750%. Interest on the 2025 Notes accrues at the rate of 7.750% per annum and is payable semiannually in cash in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2018.
The 2025 Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The 2025Senior Notes are guaranteed on a full, joint and several basis by each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The Company may redeem some or all of the 2025its Senior Notes prior to August 15, 2020 by paying a "make-whole" premium.

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

For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors affecting us, see the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017,2019, filed with the SEC on May 24, 2017.
