"Triumph Group delivered strong third quarter results, in line with our expectations," stated Daniel J. Crowley, Triumph's president and chief executive officer. "Organic revenue was up year-over-year across all three of our business segments, driven by increased volume on Airbus commercial programs and aftermarket demand for military rotorcraft components and engine mounted accessories. Integrated Systems margins were driven by increases in MRO and spares sales, as well as improved operational efficiencies and cost reduction initiatives. Aerospace Structures continued to execute its plan, divesting the Nashville large structures business and exiting legacy programs. We expect these actions to benefit margins in future quarters."

Mr. Crowley continued, "Free cash flow was positive for the quarter and year to date, and we remain on track to deliver positive free cash flow for fiscal year 2020 as we guided. Triumph is a more predictable business as we de-risk our portfolio and backlog and stabilize our cash flows."

Mr. Crowley concluded, "We are focused on our core and I remain confident in Triumph\'s ability to compete, win and create value over the long term for our stakeholders."
