| And when I was at Raytheon, that was really the strength of our portfolio as the investments we made in platforms like Patriot and we've done enough now on that, that as we take out one of the five operating companies, there's the automatic gets smaller by that percent that you cited |
| Triumph's fundamentals remain strong as we continue to focus on our OEM components, IP-based spares and MRO business |
| Overall, I'm excited about Triumph's future and our ability to deliver expanding levels of profitability and cash flow |
| The strong recovery in airline financials is reflected in higher commercial transport aircraft orders Airbus finished 2023 with record net orders of 2,094 aircraft and Airbus production rate projections are largely holding as reflected in their supplier portal |
| We're going to enjoy good OEM margins because they're discriminated solutions and then they'll have good aftermarket |
| This is good news for Triumph as we have substantial twin aisle content |
| As summarized on Slide 3, the divestiture truly represents a win for both our shareholders and bondholders and it's entirely consistent with our strategic plan to focus on differentiated components and systems of our own design and to own our aftermarket tail |
| When combined with expanding free cash flow and earnings from our remaining operations, this transaction positions Triumph to enter a recursive cycle of financial improvement with higher free cash flow and lower debt to accelerate our growth and shareholder value creation |
| These are competitive businesses, which benefit from our lean transformation and diversity of customers and platforms |
| We are taking immediate steps to right-size the remaining company with an optimized cost structure that builds on the operational improvements implemented during our transformation and ensures we are well-positioned to achieve our long-term financial and operational targets |
| To be clear, we expect to continue our steady progress towards 20% EBITDAP margins and free cash flow conversion of 10% of sales or better over the medium term on the strength of Triumph's IP-based product portfolio |
| However, I'm pleased with our ability to generate seven consecutive quarters of organic sales growth and to achieve positive free cash flow |
| Triumph generated year-over-year organic sales growth of 13% and driven by increasing commercial OEM production rates |
| Even excluding our discontinued third-party MRO results, our aftermarket sales increased year-over-year with spares and repairs accounting for a robust 26% of our Q3 sales |
| MRO sales will continue to be a valuable financial driver for Triumph after the sale |
| We have a really strong leadership team that's not just focused on backlog execution, but they have a much stronger profit orientation looking at contracts, pricing, value claiming |
| Turning to Page 6 and looking ahead to our fiscal 2024 year-end, the combined tailwinds of deferred Q3 sales, inherent seasonality, incremental price increases and selected IP sales puts us on track to have a record Q4 that will translate into year-over-year margin expansion |
| In summary, third quarter results included solid organic revenue growth and positive cash generation, yet lower than planned EBITDAP and operating margin due to the impact of industry-wide supply chain constraints and inflation, both of which we are actively addressing |
| And not only the interest savings now, but I alluded to it in my comments, was with the improved credit profile when we go to refinance our remaining debt, we should get better rates and better terms for that with improved credit |
| January deliveries were solid with monthly sales of approximately $100 million, which supports our Q4 forecast |
| Triumph has embarked on a modular solutions approach whereby core products and engine controls, thermal cooling, actuation, and gearboxes, find application on both commercial and military platforms, often developed with customer funding, these core products will be the engine of growth over our planning horizon and a strong source of competitive advantage |
| Once qualified non-wing, we expect these core products to generate significant top and bottom-line growth in the years to come |
| Pro forma for the debt reduction interest savings, we continue to expect our continuing operations to be solidly cash positive in Q4, consistent with prior year seasonality driven by working capital liquidation on the fourth quarter sales surge, reduction in past-due backlog and increased inventory turns |
| So, in summary, if you combine steadily improving commercial OEM demand, with Triumph's strong position on next-gen military platforms, our high-margin aftermarket sales and improving balance sheet and cost takeout actions we initiated in Q3 and you've got a recipe for strong follow-through in Q4 in the years ahead |
| And then lastly, overhead absorption benefits from additional work we have been asked to take on from our competitors who are not supporting the OEM ramps, a sign of our customers' loyalty and Triumph's ready capacity |
| Commercial aftermarket sales of $39 million, grew 26% in the continuing business on strong demand for commercial aftermarket spares and repairs |
| Year-over-year, Triumph's fiscal 2024 revenue on the top four commercial aircraft programs is up 40% in aggregate while backlog rose another 32% even as shipments rise substantially |
| And there'll be a time when they get over it and then it's going to be, as Airbus has demonstrated, a steady progressive ramp and Triumph is going to benefit from both of those |
| Despite supply chain delays in our third quarter, my team and I are excited about the future for our company and are set up for a very strong Q4 |
| Boeing secured 1,314 net orders including the second highest year of 787 orders at 301 since program launch, which gives us confidence that rates of 10 a month or higher are increasingly likely |

| That said, Interiors profitability in the quarter and free cash flow continued to lag expectations in Q3 due to the previously mentioned headwinds of labor and material inflation and the peso exchange rate |
| While Q3 sales were strong, earnings and free cash flow came in below expectations as a result of delayed shipments due to a finite set of supply chain shortages and continued margin weakness in our Interiors business |
| Military aftermarket sales in the quarter were down 6% compared to last year on unfavorable timing for demand of spares and repairs |
| It was a disappointment |
| As I reflect on the third quarter that ended in December, there were clearly challenges |
| Military OEM sales were down 3% versus prior year as expected, lower sales on V-22, E-2D, and AH-64 were partially offset by growth on the CH-53K program |
| It's a difficult issue |
| That's what we're referring to in terms of the consolidated margins being down a little bit in the current year when you pull out Product Support |
| Well, that was driven by some electronic supplier shortages that are going to ship out in Q4 |
| And they're related to, for example, the one I was just looking at last night was military was down slightly |
| And then just you called out in the press release the revenue headwind |
| And there's so much volatility uncertainty around that program, particularly in the short-term |
| In many cases, we've already completed all Q4 products and are waiting on customer approvals to ship and collect |
| Slide 10 shows our military revenue, which is down slightly |
| And in Q3, we had some delay in shipments that were held up that were higher-margin deliveries |
| The remaining 1% of our revenue is non-aviation, which is profitable, represented about $3 million of sales in the quarter and is down slightly over last year |
| During the pandemic, when the aircraft fleet was stood down and military shot up and then now commercials resurging |
| The main issues I talked about on Interiors or external forces, Mexico has raised the minimum wage again |
| David Strauss Did you actually -- if you adjust for the divestiture, did you actually cut your EBITDA -- absolute EBITDA forecast for the year |
| In terms of where we're going as a company, we think that Triumph the value gap between Triumph and companies like Woodward and Moog is unjustified |
