· Net sales for the first quarter fiscal 2007 increased 25% to $222.8 million
· Operating income for the first quarter fiscal 2007 increased 33% to $18.3 million
· Net income for the first quarter fiscal 2007 increased 32% to $9.4 million

Wayne, PA—July 26, 2006—Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE: TGI) today reported that net sales for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 totaled $222.8 million, a twenty-five percent increase from last year’s first quarter net sales of $177.7 million. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 increased thirty-two percent to $9.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share, versus $7.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted common share for the first quarter of the prior year. During the quarter, the company generated $1.1 million of cash flow from operations. Results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 also reflected a $0.02 per share charge related to stock compensation expense including the impact of adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R as of April 1, 2006.
Prior year period segment results have been restated to classify certain revenue and costs from the Aftermarket Services segment to the Aerospace Systems segment for the operations of Triumph Fabrications-Phoenix and Triumph Fabrications-Fort Worth due to the fact that most of their product line has been transitioned to aerospace OEM products. The restatement shifted approximately $4.4 million in revenue and $0.8 million in operating loss, previously reported in the Aftermarket Services segment, to the Aerospace Systems segment’s results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2006.
The Aerospace Systems segment reported net sales for the quarter of $174.2 million compared to $138.6 million in the prior year period, as restated, an increase of twenty-six percent. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $20.3 million, compared to $15.4 million for the prior year period, as restated, a thirty-two percent increase. Excluding the recently announced

acquisition of Triumph Structures-Wichita (formerly, Excel Manufacturing, Inc.), organic sales growth for the quarter was nineteen percent.
The Aftermarket Services segment reported net sales for the quarter of $49.5 million, compared to $39.8 million in the prior year period, as restated, a twenty-four percent increase. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $2.1 million, compared to $2.2 million for the prior year period, as restated. Excluding the recently announced acquisition of Triumph Interiors (formerly Air Excellence International, Inc.), organic sales growth for the quarter was eighteen percent. Operating results for the quarter reflected $0.6 million of start up costs associated with the new Thailand maintenance and repair facility which was not included in the prior year period.
Richard C. Ill, Triumph’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are very pleased with the first quarter results and with the strong operational and financial performance across our businesses. As we expected, our recent acquisitions are making a positive contribution, but the fundamental driver behind our strong performance was organic revenue growth combined with enhanced operating leverage. Based on the strength of our markets and our robust backlog, we are optimistic that we will continue to generate sales growth and improved profitability for the balance of the year.”
Commenting on the outlook for the year, Mr. Ill stated, “Based upon the performance in sales and earnings for the first quarter, we now expect that fiscal year 2007 sales will be toward the upper end of the previously announced range of $875 million to $925 million and earnings per share for the fiscal year to be toward the upper end of the previously announced range of $2.40 to $2.70.”
