Background and Basis of Presentation | 1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Triumph Group, Inc. ("Triumph") have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2021. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the fiscal 2020 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 28, 2020. Triumph is a Delaware corporation which, through its operating subsidiaries, designs, engineers, manufactures, and sells products for the global aerospace original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of aircraft and aircraft components and repairs and overhauls aircraft components and accessories for commercial airline, air cargo carrier and military customers on a worldwide basis. Triumph and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are organized based on the products and services that they provide. The Company has two reportable segments: Systems & Support and Aerospace Structures. Systems & Support consists of the Company’s operations that provide integrated solutions, including design; development; and support of proprietary components, subsystems and systems, as well as production of complex assemblies using external designs. Capabilities include hydraulic, mechanical and electromechanical actuation, power and control; a complete suite of aerospace gearbox solutions, including engine accessory gearboxes and helicopter transmissions; active and passive heat exchange technology; fuel pumps, fuel metering units and Full Authority Digital Electronic Control fuel systems; hydromechanical and electromechanical primary and secondary flight controls. Systems & Support also provides full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional and military aircraft. The Company’s extensive product and service offerings include full post-delivery value chain services that simplify the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) supply chain. Through its ground support equipment maintenance, component MRO and post-production supply chain activities, Systems & Support is positioned to provide integrated planeside repair solutions globally.

Standards Recently Implemented Adoption of ASU 2016-13 In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective April 1, 2020 , and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statement disclosures. Standards Issued Not Yet Implemented In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans Impact of Change in Accounting Principle Effective April 1, 2020, the Company changed its method of accounting for the determination of the market-related value of assets (“MRVA”) for a class of assets (fixed income securities) within the qualified U.S. defined benefit plan (the “Plan”) which is used in determining the expected return on asset component of net periodic benefit income. This class of assets is comprised solely of the fixed income securities asset class held in the portfolio for the Plan, which provides a natural hedge (liability-hedging assets) against the changes in the recorded amount of net periodic pension cost. Refer to Note 15 in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, for its fair value disclosure by asset classification. The Company’s previous method of accounting was to calculate the MRVA for all the Plan’s assets recognizing investment gains and losses into the MRVA over a five-year period. T he Company has changed its method of accounting and elected to use the fair value of our fixed income assets, which represent approximately 44% of the Plan’s assets, to determine the MRVA beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. This change in accounting principle is preferable as it results in an expected return on asset component of net periodic benefit income that more accurately reflects the changes in the fair values of the fixed income securities. No change is being made to the accounting principle for the other classes of pension assets, which represent the remaining 56% of the pension asset five-year The change in accounting principle requires retrospective application and prospective disclosure. The Company applied the change effective April 1, 2020, and recorded a cumulative adjustment to equity as of the earliest period presented. The tables below represent the impact of this change on the condensed consolidated statements of operations (including earnings per share) and the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the periods presented below. The change in accounting principle had no impact on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for these periods. The tables below represent the impact of the change in accounting principle on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020.
