Standards Issued Not Yet Implemented
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”, “ASC 606”), which requires recognition of revenue to depict the transfer 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 so using the modified retrospective method.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we established a cross-functional team to assess and prepare for implementation of the new standard. We are analyzing the impact of the new standard on the Company’s revenue contracts, comparing our current accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard, and identifying potential differences that would result from applying the new standard to our contracts, as well as any potential impacts.
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 willstatements include the establishmentaccounts of contract assetsTriumph and liabilities for billings that are lower than, or in excess of, revenue that hasits wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been recognized.
The adoption of ASC 606 will not changeeliminated from 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, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 amends ASC 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits, to require employers that present a measure 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. Employers that do not present a measure of operating income are required to include the service cost component in the same line item as other employee compensation costs. Employers are required to include all other components of net benefit cost in a separate line item(s). The line item(s) in which the components of net benefit cost other than the service cost are included need to be identified as such on the income statement or in the disclosures. ASU 2017-07 also stipulates that only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. ASU 2017-07 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently performing its assessment of the impact of adopting the guidance; however based on its expectations for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, the Company believes it will likely have a material impact due to the reclassification of certain components of pension and OPEB income from capitalized costs (Operating Income) to Other Income. The Company will adopt the new standard on April 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the cumulative affect, approximately $130,000 to $150,000 will be recorded as a current period charge to earnings in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. Excluding the service costs, the net periodic pension benefit for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 is expected to be $67,000.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). This update requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet of lessees. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires a

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 and Contract Balances

The Company's revenue is principally from contracts with customers to provide design, development, manufacturing, and support services associated with specific customer programs. The Company regularly enters into long-term master supply agreements

that establish general terms and conditions and may define specific program requirements. Many agreements include clauses that provide sole supplier status to the Company for the duration of the program’s life. Purchase orders (or authorizations to proceed) are generally recognized in accordance withissued pursuant to 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 portionmaster supply agreements. Additionally, a majority of the Company’s contracts are withinagreements with customers include options for future purchases. Such options primarily reduce the scopeadministrative effort of issuing subsequent purchase orders and do not represent material rights granted to customers. The Company generally enters into agreements directly with its customers and is the principal in all current contracts.

The identification of a contract with a customer for purposes of accounting and financial reporting requires an evaluation of the Revenue Recognition - Construction-Typeterms and Production-Type Contracts topicconditions 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 Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-35business 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 distinct 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 OEMs.

The transaction price for a contract reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for fully satisfying the performance obligations in the contract. Typically, the transaction price consists solely of fixed consideration but may include variable consideration for contractual provisions such as unpriced contract modifications, cost-sharing provisions, and other receipts or payments to customers. The Company identifies and estimates variable consideration, typically at the most likely amount the Company expects to receive from its customers. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for the contract will not occur, or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company's contracts with customers generally require payment under normal commercial terms after delivery with payment typically required within 30 to 120 days of delivery. However, a subset of the Company’s current contracts 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 onare typically derived from the available periodic forecast information.

Revenue is recognized when or as control of promised products or services transfers to a customer and is recognized at the amount allocated to each performance obligation associated with the transferred products or services. Service sales, principally representing repair, maintenance, and engineering activities are recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered. Sales under long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time are recognized using either an input or output method. The Company recognizes revenue over time as it performs on these contracts because of the percentage-of-completion methodcontinuous transfer of accounting.

customer that occurs as work progresses. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of accounting, progress toward completion is measured asbased on the ratioproportion 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 equaldate 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 of the performance obligation. The Company reviews its cost estimates on contracts on a periodic basis, or when circumstances change and estimated total profit are often required as work progresses underwarrant a contract, as experience is gained and as more information is obtained, even though the scope of work required under the contract may not change, or if contract modifications occur.

Provisionscumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion.

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 order to correct this immaterial error, the Company recorded a charge to "Cost of sales" in the amount of $24,500, which is presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statementscondensed consolidated balance sheets.

There is still risk similar 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.

Product Support provides repair and overhaul services, of which a small portion of services are provided under long-term power-by-the-hour contracts. The Company applies the proportional performance method of accounting to recognize revenue under these contracts. Revenue is recognized over the contract period as units are deliveredeach respective acquisition, based on the relativepresent value of the difference between the contractual cash flows of the executory contracts and the estimated cash flows had the contracts been executed at the acquisition date. The liabilities principally relate to long-term contracts that were initially executed several years prior to the respective acquisition. The Company measured these net liabilities in proportionthe year they were acquired under the measurement provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, which is based on the price to transfer the obligation to a market participant at the measurement date, assuming that the net liabilities will remain outstanding in the marketplace. The portion of the Company's revenue resulting from transactions other than contracts with customers pertains to the amortization of these acquired contract liabilities as the related contractual performance obligations are satisfied.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s trade and other 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% of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. Trade accounts receivable from Gulfstream (representing commercial, military and space) represented approximately 14% and 3%23% of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 20172021 and March 31, 2017,2021, respectively.

Sales to Boeing for the nine months ended December 31, 2017, were $743,271, or 32% of net sales, of which $151,803, $302,980, $282,068 and $6,420 were from the Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures, Precision Components and Product Support, respectively. Sales to Boeing for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, were $928,020, or 36% of net sales, of which $157,772, $427,960, $317,426 and $24,862 were from the Integrated Systems, Aerospace Structures, Precision Components and Product Support, respectively.

Sales to Gulfstream for the nine months ended December 31, 2017,2021, were $304,157,$376,413, or 13%35% of net sales, of which $897, $293,749, $9,203$121,057 and $308$255,357 were from the Integrated Systems & Support and Aerospace Structures, Precision Components and Product Support, respectively.

No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales. However, the loss of any significant customer, including Boeing, and Gulfstream, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its operating subsidiaries.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based awards based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, was $2,719 and $2,163, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, was $6,137 and $6,140, respectively. The Company has classified share-based compensation within selling, general and administrative expenses to correspond with the same line item as the majority of the cash compensation paid to employees. Upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock, the Company first transfers treasury stock, then issues new shares.

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 or disclosed 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 when comparing the carrying value of assets held for sale with the related fair value less cost to sell (see Note 3) and to its divestiturespension and interest rate swappostretirement plan assets (see Note 3 and Note 5)9).

In November 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) under the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection Program (“AMJP”) for a grant of up to provide for the estimated future cost of warranties on our delivered products.$21,259. The Company periodically reviewsreceived the reserves and adjustmentsfirst installment of $10,630 under the grant in November 2021. The Company expects to receive additional funds from the DOT as costs are made accordingly. A provision for warranty on products delivered is made onincurred over the basisremainder of historical experience and identified warranty issues. Warranties cover such factors as non-conformancethe service period with final installment to specifications and defects in material and workmanship. The majoritybe received upon final confirmation from the DOT of the Company's agreements includecompliance with the terms of the agreement. The receipt of the full award is primarily conditioned upon the Company committing to not furlough or lay off a three-year warranty, although certain programs have warranties updefined group of employees during the six-month period of performance between November 2021 and May 2022.

As of December 31, 2017,Rayong, Thailand. In August 2020, the Company remains able to purchase an additional 2,277,789 shares underentered into a definitive agreement with the existing stock repurchase program. However, there are certain restrictions placed on the repurchase program by the Company's lenders that prevent any repurchases at this time.
3.     DIVESTED OPERATIONS
In September 2017, the Company sold allbuyer of the shares of Triumph Processing - Embee Division, Inc. ("Embee") for total cash proceeds of $64,986. As a result of the sale of Embee, the Company recognized a loss of $17,857 which is presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Loss on divestiture." The operating results of Embee were includedcomposites manufacturing operations in Integrated Systems through the date of disposal.
Georgia and Thailand. 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 presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Loss on divestiture." The operating results of Newport News were included in Integrated Systems through the date of disposal.
In December 2016,February 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest Triumph Air Repair,sell its large structure manufacturing operations in Red Oak, Texas, to the Auxiliary Power Unit Overhaul Operationssame buyer of Triumph Aviation Services - Asia, Ltd.the Milledgeville and Triumph Engines - Tempe ("Engines and APU"). As a result,Rayong composites manufacturing operations. These transactions closed in May 2021. In the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company adjusted the carrying amount of these assets held for sale to its estimated fair value less cost to sell and recognized a loss of $14,263 on the sale.approximately $102,500. The operating resultsestimate of Engines and APU were included in Product Support through the date of disposal. The transaction closed during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

The disposal of these entities does not represent a strategic shift andfair value is not expected to have a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results, as defined by ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations; as a result, the disposals do not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations.
To measure the amount of impairment related to the divestitures, the Company compared the fair values of assets and liabilities at the evaluation dates to the carrying amounts at the end of the month prior to the respective evaluation dates. The sale of Embee, Newport News and Engines and APU assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The key assumption includedassumptions used in the estimate of fair value were the negotiated sales price of the assets and the assumptionsassumption of the disposal group’s liabilities.

In May 2021, upon the completion of the sale of composites and large structure manufacturing operations, the Company received proceeds of approximately $155,000 net of the purchase of a facility related to the divestiture and other transaction costs and recognized an additional loss of approximately $6,000, which is presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations within loss on sale of assets and businesses. The additional loss was primarily the result of changes in the working capital balances of the disposal group from March 31, 2021, to the date of divestiture, the final amount of which will be subject to any adjustments in the purchase price as a result of routine closing working capital adjustments and may be further adjusted as a result of closing working capital settlement. The operating results of these related operations are included within the Aerospace Structures reportable segment through the date of divestiture. As disclosed in Note 9, as a result of the completed sale of these manufacturing operations, the Company recognized a curtailment loss of approximately $16,000.

In January 2021, the Company announced the shutdown of its composites manufacturing operations located in Spokane, Washington, and began to execute the strategic exit of these facilities. The Company has entered into agreements to sell certain asset groups within the related manufacturing operations. These transactions have not been completed and certain of the related asset groups have not yet met the relevant criteria for derecognition and therefore have been classified as held for sale as of the balance sheet date. Losses for some asset groups arising from adjustments to the carrying amounts to their estimated fair value less cost to sell were insignificant, and other asset groups are expected to result in insignificant gains upon derecognition. The total purchase price associated with these transactions is approximately $11,000, of which approximately $7,500 has been received as of December 31, 2021.

In August 2021, the Company's Board of Directors committed to a plan to sell and license certain legacy product lines of the Company's Staverton, United Kingdom operations. The transaction includes the existing facility and select product lines associated with the site. The transaction closed in October 2021 for net proceeds of approximately $34,000, and the effect on earnings was insignificant. The operating results of the Staverton, United Kingdom, manufacturing operations were included within the Systems & Support reportable segment through the date of divestiture.

As a result of the transactions described above, including routine closing working capital adjustments, the Company recognized approximately $13,600 in additional net losses on divestiture of assets and businesses in the nine months ended December 31, 2021, largely comprising changes in working capital balances of disposal groups and related routine working capital adjustments that could be further adjusted as a result of closing working capital settlements.

Fiscal 2021 Divestitures

In August 2020, the Company completed the transfer of the assets and certain liabilities (seeassociated with its Gulfstream G650 wing supply chain activities for cash proceeds net of transaction costs of approximately $51,000. The Company recognized a loss of approximately $819. The operating results associated with the G650 wing supply chain activities were included within Aerospace Structures through the date of transfer.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied or partially satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. This typically occurs when revenue is recognized over time but the Company's contractual right to bill the customer and receive payment is conditional upon the satisfaction of levels)additional performance obligations in the contract, such as final delivery of the product. Contract assets are typically derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company pools contract assets that share underlying risk characteristics and records an allowance for expected credit losses based on a combination of prior experience, current economic conditions and management’s expectations of future economic conditions, and specific collectibility matters when they arise. Contract assets are presented net of this reserve

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, credit loss expense and write-offs related to contract assets were immaterial.

Contract liabilities are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations to be satisfied over a period of time. Contract liabilities other than those pertaining to forward loss reserves are derecognized when or as revenue is recognized.

Contract modifications can also impact contract asset and liability balances. When contracts are modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements, 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 distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration with the original good or service provided, are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification to an existing contract on the transaction price and the Company's measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. When the modifications include additional performance obligations that are distinct and at relative stand-alone selling price, they are accounted for as a new contract and performance obligation and are recognized prospectively.

Contract balances are classified as assets or liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The following table summarizes the Company's contract assets and liabilities balances:

During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue due to changes in estimates associated with performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods of $5,340. The change in contract assets is the result of revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The change in contract liabilities is the result of revenue recognized in excess of the receipt of additional customer advances as well as certain customer advance repayments settled during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $68,083 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. Noncurrent contract assets presented in other, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, were $4,529 and $5,299, respectively. Noncurrent contract liabilities presented in other noncurrent liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, were $25,990 and $100,737, respectively.

Performance Obligations

Customers generally contract with the Company for requirements in a segment relating to a specific program, and the Company’s performance obligations consist of a wide range of engineering design services and manufactured components, as well as spare parts and repairs for OEMs. A single contract may contain multiple performance obligations consisting of both recurring and nonrecurring elements.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has the following unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, performance obligations that are expected to be recognized in the future as noted in the table below. The Company expects options to be exercised in addition to the amounts presented below.

6.LONG-TERM DEBT

Work-in-process inventory includes capitalized pre-production costs on newer development programs. Capitalized pre-production costs include nonrecurring engineering, planning and design, including applicable overhead, incurred before production is manufactured on a regular basis. Significant customer-directed work changes can also cause pre-production costs to be incurred. These costs are typically recovered over a contractually determined number

Long-term debt consists of ship set deliveries. The balance of development program inventory, comprised principally of capitalized pre-production costs, excluding progress payments related to the Company's contracts with Bombardier for the Global 7000/8000 program ("Bombardier") and Embraer for the second generation E-Jet program ("Embraer") are as follows:

Under our contract for the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 wing program ("Global 7000"), the Company has the right to design, develop and manufacture wing components for the Global 7000 program. The Global 7000 contract provides for fixed pricing and requires the Company to fund certain up-front development expenses, with certain milestone payments made by Bombardier.

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.

In connection with the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $633 of financing costs. These costs, along with the $13,226 of unamortized financing costs subsequent to the amendment, are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. In accordance with the reduction in the capacity of the Credit Agreement, the Company wrote-off a proportional amount of unamortized financing fees prior to the amendment.

In May 2017, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, 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 $850,000 from $1,000,000, (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 obligations under the Credit Facility and related documents are secured by liens on substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2013, among the administrative agent, the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto.
Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company can borrow, repay and re-borrow revolving credit loans, and cause to be issued letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $800,000 outstanding at any time. The Credit Facility bears interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus between 1.50% and 3.50%; (ii) the prime rate; or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the Company. The applicable interest rate is based upon the Company’s ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
At December 31, 2017, there were $50,000 in borrowings and $30,152 in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit provisions of the Credit Facility, primarily to support insurance policies. At March 31, 2017, there were $29,999 in borrowings and $27,240 in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit provisions of the Credit Facility, primarily to support insurance policies. The level of unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Line of Credit provisions of the Credit Facility varies from time to time depending in part upon its compliance with financial and other covenants set forth in the related agreement. The Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on specified levels of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and interest coverage requirements, and includes limitations on, among other things, liens, mergers, consolidations, sales of assets, and incurrence of debt. If an event of default were to occur under the Credit Facility, the lenders would be entitled to declare all amounts borrowed under it immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility could also cause the acceleration of obligations under certain other agreements. 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. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had borrowing capacity under thisCompany's receivables securitization facility of $719,848 after reductions for borrowings, letters of credit outstanding under the facility and consideration of covenant limitations.
The Credit Facility also provided for a variable rate term loan (the "2013 Term Loan""Securitization Facility"). 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).
The Company previously maintained an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to interest on the variable rate portion of its long-term debt. In conjunction with the repayment of the 2013 Term Loan, the Company terminated the interest rate swap receiving $280 upon settlement which is included in Interest expense and other on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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

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 hasaccumulated other comprehensive income have 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 does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced in the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2017,2021, 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 2018 as well as the Company's income2022 and future periods.

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. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees. Certain employee groupsMost employees 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. governmentGovernment 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 fromNo active service if they meet specified age and years of service requirements. Election to participate for some employees must be made at the date of retirement. Qualifying dependents at the date of retirement are also eligible for these benefits. The vast majority of eligible retirees receive a fixed-dollar benefit they can use to purchase healthcare services. A small number of eligible retirees receive traditional retiree medical coverage.benefits for which the company pays all premiums. All retirees who are eligible for these traditional benefits are Medicare-eligible. 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 ourthe Company's evaluation of data from fund managers and comparable market data.

The Company recognized net periodic benefit income from its other postretirement benefits plan of approximately $2,349 and $7,047 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

Upon the completion of the sale of the composites and large structure manufacturing operations as disclosed in Note 3, the expected future service of certain defined benefit pension plan participants was curtailed and certain participants became eligible for subsidized early retirement benefits under the terms of the relevant plan. As a result, the Company performed an interim remeasurement and recognized a onetime pension curtailment charge of approximately $16,024 which is presented in non-service defined benefit income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for nine months ended December 31, 2021

Effective August 31, 2021, the Company settled the fully-funded pension obligation it had retained subsequent to its fiscal year 2019 divestiture of Triumph Geared Solutions - Toronto. The settlement resulted in the recognition of prior noncash actuarial losses of approximately $3,826 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The settlement's impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets was insignificant as the plan's assets were materially consistent with the pension obligation.

In November 2017, the Company announced an amendment to the retirement plan of its non-represented employee participants. Effective November 30, 2017, the Company eliminated and reduced certain welfare benefits for retirees. Those changes resulted in a decrease in the projected OPEB obligation of $17,652 and a related curtailment gain of $15,099 included in "Curtailment and settlement gain, net" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017.

12.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in disputes, claimsdisputes; claims; and lawsuits with employees, suppliers, and customers,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.

As the Company completes its restructuring plans as disclosed in Note 13, 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. For example, the Company participates in a multiemployer pension plan for the benefit of certain represented employees at its Spokane, Washington, composites manufacturing operations. Under the terms of the multiemployer pension plan, it is reasonably possible that the Company will trigger a withdrawal liability related to the exit of the related facilities and termination of the affected employees. The amount of this potential liability is determined based on the funded status of the plan at the time of withdrawal from the plan. The funded status of the plan is measured by estimating the value of the plan's assets and liabilities, and these values can change significantly based on market conditions and changes in actuarial assumptions made by the plan sponsor. If a withdrawal liability is triggered, the obligation would likely be satisfied through annual payments over a period of at least ten years.

13.RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During

As disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company committed to a restructuring ofplans involving certain of its businesses, as well as the consolidation of certain of its facilities ("2017 Restructuring Plan")facilities. With the exception of certain consolidations to be completed in future years, these plans were substantially complete as of March 31, 2020. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred costs of $1,153, $11,447, and $432, within Systems & Support, Aerospace Structures, and its corporate headquarters, respectively, for total restructuring costs of $13,031. The Company expects to reduce its footprint by approximately 1.0 million square feet, to reduce head count by approximately 100 employeesrestructuring costs represent third-party facility closures, third-party consulting costs, and to amend certain contracts. Over the next few fiscal years, theseverance. The Company estimates that it will record aggregate pre-tax chargesincur consolidated restructuring costs of $55,000 to $60,000 related to these programs, which represent employee termination benefits, contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation and facility closure and other exit costs, and will result in future cash outlays.

Duringapproximately $15,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016,2022, with the majority of the remaining costs associated with Aerospace Structures facility closures.

14.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its manufacturing operations located in Stuart, Florida. The Stuart operations specialize in the assembly of large, complex metallic structures such as wing and fuselage assemblies. Specific terms and conditions of the sale are still being finalized. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2022 and result in a gain. The operating results of the Stuart, Florida, operations are included within the Aerospace Structures reportable segment. As of December 31, 2021, the Board of Directors had not committed to a restructuring of certain of its businessesplan to sell the Stuart operations due to uncertainty pertaining to specific terms and conditions, and therefore the transaction did not meet the requirements for the related assets and liabilities to be classified as well as the consolidation of certain of its facilities ("2016 Restructuring Plan"). The Company expects to reduce its footprint by approximately 3.5 million square feet and to reduce head count by approximately 1,200 employees. Over the next few fiscal years, the Company estimates that it will record aggregate pre-tax charges of $140,000 to $150,000 related to these programs, which represent employee termination benefits, contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation and facility closure and other exit costs, and will result in future cash outlays.

The following table provides a summary of the Company's current aggregate cost estimates by major type of expense associated with the restructuring plans noted above:
Type of expense: Total estimated amount expected to be incurred
Termination benefits $21,000
Facility closure and other exit costs (1) 44,000
Contract termination costs 18,000
Accelerated depreciation charges (2) 37,000
Other (3) 89,000
  $209,000
(1) Includes costs to transfer product lines among facilities and outplacement and employee relocation costs.
(2) Accelerated depreciation charges are recorded as part of Depreciation and amortizationheld for sale on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(3) Consists of other costs directly related to the plan, including project management, legal, regulatory costs and other transformation related costs, such as costs to amend certain contracts.
The restructuring charges recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, by type and by segment consisted of the following:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations




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


(Operations

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


OVERVIEW

Business

We are a major supplier to the aerospace industry and have four operatingtwo reportable segments: (i) Integrated Systems & Support, 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;designs, as well as full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional, and military aircraft; and (ii) Aerospace Structures, whose companies supply commercial, business, regional and militaryregional manufacturers with large metallic structures and composite structures; (iii) Precision Components, whose companies 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.

Divestitures

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, we divested of a number of our assets and (iv) Product Support, whose companies provide full life cycle solutions for commercial, regionaloperations, including the transfer of the assets and military aircraft.

Effective January 1, 2018, we combinedcertain liabilities associated with our Gulfstream G650 wing supply chain activities. The operating results associated with the G650 wing supply chain activities were included within Aerospace Structures through the date of transfer. We recognized a net loss of approximately $0.8 million upon the completion of the transfer of the G650 wing supply chain activities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

As disclosed in Note 3, in May 2021 we completed the divestiture of our composites manufacturing operations located in Milledgeville, Georgia, and Precision Components reporting segments into one reporting segment, Aerospace Structures.Rayong, Thailand, as well as our large structure manufacturing operations located in Red Oak, Texas. The related assets and liabilities associated with these divestitures were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2021, and we recognized combined net losses of approximately $102.5 million in the year ended March 31, 2021. Upon the completion of the divestiture, we recognized an additional loss of approximately $6.0 million primarily as a result of changes in working capital balances. These losses are presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations within loss on sale of assets and businesses. The operating results associated with the composites and large structure manufacturing operations were included within Aerospace Structures through the date of divestiture.

As disclosed in Note 14, subsequent to December 31, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our manufacturing operations located in Stuart, Florida. The Stuart operations specialize in the assembly of large, complex metallic structures such as wing and Precision Components share many of 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, the Company sold all of the shares of Triumph Processing - Embee Division, Inc. ("Embee") for total cash proceeds of $64,986. As a resultfuselage assemblies. Upon closing of the sale of Embee,the Stuart operations, we will have exited our structures business and reshaped our portfolio of companies to consist of businesses providing systems and aftermarket services. Closing is expected to occur in the first half of calendar year 2022. The operating results associated with the Stuart operations are included within Aerospace Structures.

Refer to Note 3 for a discussion of other less significant divestitures occurring through December 31, 2021. Including the $6.0 million loss referred to above, in the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a losstotal losses on the sale of $17,857, which is included in Corporate. The operatingassets and businesses of approximately $13.6 million.

Summary of Significant Financial Results

Significant financial results of Embee were included in Integrated Systems through the date of disposal.

Highlights for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 included:
Net sales for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 20182022, include:

Net sales were $775.2$319.2 million compared to $844.9with $426.0 million for the prior year period.
Operating loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2018income was $(119.7) million and included a non-cash impairment charge of $190.2$28.2 million compared to $55.2with an operating loss of $35.0 million for the third quarterprior year period.
Net income was $7.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share, compared with a net loss of fiscal 2017.
Net loss$68.1 million, or ($1.30) per diluted common share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $113.3 million, compared to net income of $29.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2017.prior year period.
Backlog as of December 31, 20172021, was $4.36 billion. Of our existing backlog$1.95 billion, of $4.36 billion,which, we estimate that approximately $1.72$1.13 billion will not be shipped by December 31, 2018.2022.
Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $2.29 per diluted common share, as compared to net income of $0.59 per diluted share in the prior year period.
We used $198.3$170.0 million of cash flow fromin operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2017,2021, as compared towith cash used in operations of $172.7$195.9 million in the comparable prior year period.

Restructuring

We have committed to several plans that incorporateincorporated the restructuring of certain of our businesses as well asbusinesses. As of March 31, 2021, with the consolidationexception of certain of our facilities. We expecttwo pending facility closures 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),2022 or 2023, we estimate that we will record aggregate pre-tax charges of $195.0 million to $210.0 million related tohave substantially completed 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.plans. For the nine months ended December 31, 20172021 and 2016,2020, we recorded charges of $33.8incurred $13.0 million and $28.2$32.7 million respectively, related to these plans.

Our 2016 and 2017in restructuring plans and related activities were anticipated to generate annualized savings of approximately $300 million per year on a consolidated basis bycosts, respectively. Full fiscal year 2019 from facility consolidations, headcount reductions, operational efficiencies, and supply chain optimization. These anticipated savings were2022 restructuring costs are expected to come from our reportable segments approximately as follows: Integrated Systems - 23%; Aerospace Structures - 46%; Precision Components -

COVID-19 Pandemic Response

We are unable at this time to reasonably estimate potential future additional financial impacts or a range of loss, if any, due to continued uncertainties related to the impacts of the anticipated savings are expected to be reinvested in business development, research & development and capital improvements to help drive organic growth. Through December 31, 2017, the Company isCOVID-19 pandemic on target for its consolidated anticipated savings goals, however the nature of those savings has shifted over time to be more weighted towards our operations, supply chain, optimization and operational efficiencies than previously anticipated, offsetcustomers. Any such impacts, including any changes in our estimates, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Key factors determining the potential impacts include the severity and duration of the pandemic which could be impacted by reduced expectations associatedthe emergence and circulation of new variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19; governmental, business, and individuals' actions in response to the pandemic; and the development, availability, and public acceptance of effective treatments and vaccines. These factors are not within our control. In response to the continued uncertainties arising from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have maintained certain of the cost reduction initiatives originally implemented in late fiscal 2020.

Pursuant to the Biden Administration’s Executive Order 14042, all U.S. based employees of Triumph and certain of its suppliers, industry partners, and contractors working directly or indirectly on covered government contracts, or working at a facility where those contracts are performed, administered, or otherwise supported, must be fully vaccinated, or have an approved medical or religious accommodation. This includes employees who telework. A majority of our workforce is already fully vaccinated. While we are in the process of complying with the facility consolidationsrequirements of this executive order across our workforce 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 assessmentactively taking steps to assess and mitigate risks arising from vaccine requirements, we continue to monitor court rulings with regard to certain of the fair value oflegal challenges that have been raised in response to Executive Order 14042. If the vaccine mandate is upheld by court ruling, it is uncertain to what extent compliance with the vaccine mandate may result in workforce attrition for us or our goodwill duecustomers and suppliers. If attrition is significant, our operations and ability to execute on 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 thatcontracts could be indicatorsadversely affected.

Significant Developments in Key Programs

Discussion of goodwill impairment. A change in a company's reporting unit structuresignificant developments on key programs is oneincluded below.

Boeing 787

The Boeing 787 program represented approximately 6% 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-Krevenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, we performed2021. During 2020, Boeing experienced significant reductions in deliveries due to 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" portionimpacts 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,COVID-19 pandemic as well as a provisional tax liabilityproduction issues and associated rework. Boeing expanded the scope 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 impactits production inspections, and those inspections and associated rework have and continue to delay scheduled deliveries. While Boeing resumed deliveries of the Act787 aircraft in March, Boeing announced in July 2021 that additional rework requirements on undelivered 787 aircraft had been identified and has recordedthat, based on their assessment of the provisional impact (SAB 118) as discrete adjustments noted abovetime required to complete the tax provisionrework, the 787 production rate would temporarily be reduced to two per month, gradually returning to a higher rate. In January 2022, Boeing announced that the rework activities will take longer than previously expected and that program production rates remain low. Boeing also disclosed that China is a significant market for the three months ended December 31, 2017. While787 program, and if the Company believes these are reasonable estimates of the impact of the Act, additional timeprogram is neededunable 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 guidanceobtain orders 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 differencesChina in future quarters, Boeing may be required but due to adjust production rate assumptions further.

Boeing 767

Boeing's 767 program includes the legislative uncertainty aroundcommercial program and a derivative to support the withholding taxes on distributions under the act, no estimaterelated tanker program. The 767 currently has been recordeda production rate of three aircraft per month. Of our $1.95 billion in backlog as of December 31, 2017. This will be analyzed within2021, approximately 22% relates to the proscribed measurement period. The Company continues to review767 production from our Stuart, Florida, operations, the anticipated impacts around the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) and the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”)results of which are not effective until the year ended March 31, 2019.

We are currently performing work 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. Historically, low-rate production commences during flight testing, followed by an increase to full-rate production, assuming that successful testing and certification are achieved. Accordingly, we anticipate that each of these programs will begin generating full-rate production level revenues between calendar 2019 and fiscal 2021. We are still in the early development stages for the Gulfstream G500/G600 programs, as these aircraft are not expected to enter service until fiscal 2019. Transition of each of these programs from development to recurring production levels is dependent upon the success of each program at achieving flight testing and certification, as well as the ability of the OEM to generate acceptable levels of aircraft sales.
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 programs may result in additional forward loss reserves in future periods, while improvements in future costs comparedcost to current estimates or additional cost recovery may result in favorable adjustments if forward loss reserves are no longer required.

Management's Discussion and Analysisexit of
Financial Condition and Resultsapproximately $1.0 million through the first fiscal quarter of Operations
(continued)

We seek additional consideration for customer work statement changes throughout our contract life as a standard course of business.  We recently reached a preliminary agreement with Gulfstream across many programs we support, including but not limited to, the G650 wing program. We are also currently engaged with other customers in similar negotiations.  The ability to recover or negotiate additional consideration is not certain and varies by contract.  Varying market conditions for these products may also impact future profitability.
2023.

Although none of these newthe 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

28


Management's Discussion and Analysis of

(continued)

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 onmargins, although 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 theprolonged 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 includedCOVID-19 pandemic could result 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 losseschanges 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'sOur diverse structure and customer base do not allowprovide for precise comparisons of the impact of price and volume changes to our results. However, we have disclosed the significant variances between the respective periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare and publicly release annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") guidance on Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations,rules, we

also disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures in our public filings and earning releases. Currently, the non-GAAP financial measuremeasures that we disclose isare Adjusted EBITDA, which is our income from continuing operationsnet loss before interest, income taxes, amortization of acquired contract liabilities, legal settlements, loss on divestitures, depreciation and amortization; and Adjusted EBITDAP, which is Adjusted EBITDA, before pension expense or benefit, including the effects of curtailments, settlements, and other early retirement incentives, 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. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP, we exclude from net income from continuing operations the financial items that we believe should be separately identified to provide additional analysis of the financial components of the day-to-day operation of our business. We have outlined below the type and scope of these exclusions and the material limitations on the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as a result of these exclusions. 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.income. 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 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 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-cashnoncash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, and non-operatingnonoperating 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 to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAP and the material limitations associated with using thisthese non-GAAP financial measuremeasures as compared towith net income from continuing operations:

Amortization of acquired contract liabilities may be useful for investors to consider because it represents the non-cashnoncash earnings on the fair value of off-market contracts acquired through acquisitions. We do not believe these earnings necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash earnings related to our operations.

Amortization expense and nonrecurring asset impairments (including goodwill, intangible asset impairments, and nonrecurring rotable inventory impairments) may be useful for investors to consider because it represents the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of trade names, product rights, licenses, or, in the case of goodwill, other assets that are not individually identified and licenses.separately recognized under U.S. GAAP, or, in the case of nonrecurring asset impairments, the impact of unusual and nonrecurring events affecting the estimated recoverability of existing assets. 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.
Share-based compensation may be useful for investors to consider because it represents a portion of the total compensation to management and the board of directors. 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 ofby 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.

Beginning in the current quarter, we began excluding share-based compensation from net income when calculating Adjusted EBITDAP in order to improve comparability with certain of our peers that have similar adjustments and measurements and to more closely align the calculation with Adjusted EBITDAP as defined in certain of our debt agreements.

Organic segment operating income decreased $16.6increased by $22.9 million, or 18.9%.264.2%, primarily due to the increased margins described above, as well as decreased depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $2.0 million and decreased administrative compensation cost of $2.0 million. The fiscal 2017divestitures and Embee divestitures contributed $5.4 millionsunsetting programs resulted in decreases to operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Organic operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2017of approximately $9.3 million.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expenses decreased primarily due to the decline in organic sales noted above and the previously mentioned goodwill impairment charge of $190.2 million and included costs related to our restructuring plans of $3.8 million.

Corporate expenses were $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $37.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in corporate expenses of $37.3 million, or 98.5%, was impacted by the OPEB settlement gain of $15.1 million, decreased consulting costs of $6.0 million and restructuring charges of $3.8 million.

For the three months ended December 31, 2017,2021, the effective tax rate reflected a $22.4 millionlimitation on the recognition of tax benefit relatedbenefits due to the Act, a $4.8 million tax benefit related to the return to provision true up adjustment, the impact of the non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment, and the partial reversal of previously establishedfull valuation allowance related to the current year activity. For theallowance.

Business Segment Performance — Three months ended December 31, 2021, compared with three months ended December 31, 2016, the income tax provision reflected the partial reversal of previously established valuation allowance related to the capital loss generated from the divestiture of TAS-Newport News.

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 1.0% with opportunity to be reduced further through the release of the valuation allowance that is discussed further in Note 7.

Business Segment Performance - Three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to three months ended December 31, 2016
2020

We report our financial performance based on the following fourtwo reportable segments: Integrated Systems & Support and Aerospace Structures, Precision ComponentsStructures. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") utilizes Adjusted EBITDAP as a primary measure of profitability to evaluate performance of its segments and Product Support. allocate resources.

The results of operations among our operatingreportable segments vary due to differences in competitors, customers, extent of proprietary deliverables and performance. For example, Integrated Systems & Support, 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 engineering and 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 towith Aerospace Structures, which generally includes long-term sole-source or preferred supplier contractscontracts.

Refer to Note 1 for further details regarding the operations and the successcapabilities of these programs provides a strong foundation foreach of our businessreportable segments.

Operations

(continued)

We currently generate a majority of our revenue from clients 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 clients in these industries. If any of these industries experiences a downturn, our clients in these sectors may conduct less business with us. The following table summarizes our net sales by end market by business segment. The loss of one or more of our major customers or an economic downturn in the commercial airline or the military and defense markets could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Interest expense and other increased by $16.5 million, or 29.6%, to $72.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $55.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, due to higher interest rates, the impairment of deferred financing fees due to the amendment to the Credit Facility and the extinguishment of the Term Loan of approximately $5.2 million and the unfavorable net change in foreign exchange rate gain/loss of approximately $8.1 million compared to the prior year period.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 was 22.1% compared to 28.1% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. For the nine months ended December 31, 2017, the effective tax rate reflected a $22.4 million tax benefit from the Tax Act, a $4.8 million tax benefit from the return to provision true up adjustment, the impact of the non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment, the partial reversal of previously established valuation allowance related to the current year activity, as well as the disallowed capital loss generated from the divestiture of Embee. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the income tax provision reflected the disallowed tax benefit of $1.3 million related to the capital loss generated from the divestiture of Newport News.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 1.0% with opportunity to be reduced further through the release of the valuation allowance that is discussed further in Note 7.

We continue to experience a higher proportion of our sales mix in the commercial aerospace end market for Integrated Systems and Precision Components due to the 737, 777, 787, A320 and A350 programs. We have experienced a decline in the commercial aerospace end market for Aerospace Structures due to lower production rates of the 747-8 and a decrease in our military end market due to the wind-down of the C-17 program. We expect to see continued growth in our Business Jet end market sales as the Bombardier Global 7000 program begins to deliver production units, although there can be no assurance to that effect.

Net Sales

Organic sales adjusted for intersegment sales increased $12.7 million, or 1.3%, offset by declines from the composites and large structure manufacturing operations, G650, and Staverton, United Kingdom, divestitures of $242.3 million and sunsetting programs (i.e., 747-8 and G280) of $100.0 million. Organic sales increased primarily due to increased repair and overhaul services, increased production rates on commercial narrow body platforms, and $4.0 million recognized as a result of a nonrecurring licensing transaction, partially offset by decreased Adjusted EBITDAvolume on the 787 as a result of an announced production pause and decreased volume as a result of the exit of our Spokane, Washington, operations. Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, included $21.1 million in total nonrecurring revenues, as compared with $38.5 million in total nonrecurring revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Organic cost of sales adjusted for intersegment sales decreased $34.6 million, or 4.4%, with additional declines from the composites and large structure manufacturing operations, G650, and Staverton, United Kingdom, divestitures of $194.8 million and sunsetting programs of $98.9 million. Organic cost of sales decreased primarily due to the prior period impairment of rotable inventory of $23.7 million impairment, decreased volume as a result of the exit of our Spokane, Washington, operations, and changes in sales mix. Organic gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, was 25.9% compared with 21.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, increased primarily as a result of the prior period impairment of rotable inventory and the licensing transaction described above and the change in sales mix.

Gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, included net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on long-term contracts of $13.1 million. The favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income included gross favorable adjustments of $24.0 million and gross unfavorable adjustments of $10.9 million. Gross margins for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, included net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $19.3 million.

Segment Operating Income

Organic segment operating income increased by $341.6 million, or 145.0%, primarily due to long-lived asset impairment charges of $252.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the increased margins described above, as well as decreased depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $32.8 million, decreased credit losses of approximately $4.7 million, decreased rent expense of approximately $3.5 million, and decreased administrative compensation cost of approximately $3.0 million. The divestitures and sunsetting programs resulted in additional decreases to operating income of approximately $35.9 million.

Corporate Expense

The corporate expenses increased primarily due to decreased loss on sale of assets and businesses of $32.4 million, decreased legal and consulting expense of approximately $5.1 million, and decreased compensation cost of approximately $3.0 million on lower headcount.

Interest Expense and Other

Interest expense and other decreased due to lower relative debt levels as a result of current period redemptions as well as favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $8.0 million.

Non-service Defined Benefit Income

Non-service defined benefit income decreased primarily due the recognition of curtailment and settlement losses of approximately $20.0 million in the aggregate upon the completion of the composites and large structure manufacturing divestitures and the settlement of the fully-funded pension obligation it had retained subsequent to its fiscal year over year.

The remainder of financing activities forcash flows pertain primarily to borrowings and payments under finance leases and the repurchase of common stock to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations resulting from equity compensation. As of December 31, 2021, we had $206.1 million of cash on hand and $75.4 million was available under our Securitization Facility (subject to any additional constraints arising from the balance of eligible receivables at that time) after giving effect to approximately $24.6 million in outstanding letters of credit, all of which were accruing interest at 1.25% per annum.

As disclosed in Note 12, the exit of our composites manufacturing operations in Spokane, Washington could trigger a multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligation that, if incurred, would likely be satisfied through annual payments over a period of at least ten years.

With the redemption of the 2022 Notes in 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, $719.8 million was available under our revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) after consideration of covenant limitations.  On December 31, 2017, an aggregate amount of approximately $50.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, all of which was accruing interest at LIBOR plus applicable basis points totaling 3.50% per annum. Amounts repaid under the Credit Facility may be reborrowed.
At December 31, 2017, there was $109.2 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 impacted 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 on2021, 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'sour senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of itsour other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of itsour existing and future subordinated indebtedness.
