Ill, President and Chief Executive Officer Fellow Shareholders During Fiscal 2003, the environment for our three major industries was the most challenging in our ten-year history. In this, our seventh year as a public company, we saw a significant downturn in the commercial air transport, regional and business jet build rates, further challenges for the troubled airline industry, and a decline in the industrial gas turbine market. Given the worldwide economic outlook and the continued weakness of the world’s airlines, we do not see a short-term change in this environment. Despite this outlook, we remain optimistic about Triumph’s future. There are several reasons why we believe your company will continue to prosper despite the difficult environment for our core industries. First, we continue to be guided by our philosophy of protecting the integrity of our individual companies and the products and services they provide, while offering each company the advantages of being part of a larger entity. This philosophy allows us to maintain the entrepreneurial spirit necessary to succeed in the current market conditions, while driving costs out of our system through a group-wide focus. Second, we maintain our unwavering commitment to the strategies presented in our first annual report, which continue to serve us well: to add products and services; to expand operating capacity; to acquire aggressively; to market our complete capabilities; to increase our international presence. Finally, we are confident we can continue to achieve our strategic goals because our employees remain dedicated to our company and the fulfillment of our ambitious goals. More Integrated Products, Services and Systems With 30 operating companies, 3,800 employees and representative offices throughout the world, Triumph continually assesses ways to respond to our customers, provide solutions and implement our core strategies. Our customers are changing. Aircraft manufacturers are implementing aircraft systems integration and the airlines are focusing on flying passengers rather than performing component maintenance. Triumph is ideally, and in some markets uniquely, positioned to respond to these changes and is one of the few companies worldwide that can offer a total solution of products, services and systems to the largest aerospace and airlines companies in the industry. 2 In April 2003, to meet these changing needs and to provide a more simplified operating structure, Triumph realigned our five aviation groups into three groups, each with a Group President and Group Controller: (cid:1) Triumph Aerospace Systems Group - With the Structural Components Group and the Control Systems Group combined under the direction of Jeffry D. Frisby, this group is now a single source solution for structural components and higher-level assemblies, and mechanical, electromechanical and hydraulic system design, development, manufacture and repair. (cid:1) Triumph Components Group – Comprised of the Operational Components and the Gas Turbine Services Groups, Triumph Components Group will be led by William J. Hinz. The Group performs advanced manufacturing functions and fabrication processes, coating and processing functions to deliver precision detail parts and complete component assemblies. This group also focuses on the power generation industry by offering repair services, aftermarket parts and services to utility operators, independent power producers and third-party overhaul facilities. (cid:1) Triumph Aftermarket Services Group - Now unified under the direction of John M. Brasch, this group provides FAA-certified overhaul and repair services for various components, accessories and instruments. The group offers proprietary repair solutions, as well as FAA-certified PMA parts, that reduce the operating costs of our airline customers. Acquisitions With four successful, accretive acquisitions during the past year, we again increased the breadth of our products and services. The Ozone Industries, Inc. acquisition was integrated into HTD Aerospace and provides the Aerospace Systems Group with two important hydraulic product line additions: military aircraft nose wheel steering motors and helicopter blade lag dampers. Furst Aircraft and Instrument (now Furst Aircraft) affords the Aftermarket Services Group expanded access to the high-end business jet market. The Aerocell Structures, Inc. acquisition significantly accelerates Airborne Nacelle Services, Inc.’s growth by broadening its product line to include the repair and overhaul of flight control surfaces. Lastly, the purchase of Boeing’s Spokane Fabrication Operation, renamed Triumph Composite Systems, is Triumph’s largest acquisition (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) to date.Triumph Composite Systems expands our product portfolio by adding interior, non-structural composite products, including a large airline aftermarket opportunity for floor panels, and a higher level of visibility within Boeing Commercial Airplanes for our Aerospace Systems Group. Effective March 31, 2003, we discontinued our Metals segment and are now evaluating our strategic alternatives. This segment accounted for 7% of sales. Given the strength of our balance sheet and our growing presence in the industry, we believe that the coming year will provide Triumph with a unique opportunity to grow our three groups while strictly adhering to our corporate philosophy that an acquisition provide new products or services to our customers, expand the capabilities of the Triumph Group or the markets we serve, and be immediately accretive to earnings per share. Diversification Triumph’s diversification – the OEM, aftermarket and military sectors each comprise approximately one-third of our business – has allowed us to weather and even capitalize on these challenging times. The military market is now 32% of our business, up from only 4% seven years ago. It continues to show strong growth, with the F/A-18 and C-17 among our top programs. Triumph is also well positioned to play an important role in the growing regional jet market. Airlines are moving to lower operations cost models and are utilizing more regional jets in their route structure. This diversified customer base, coupled with ever broadening product offerings, will clearly benefit our company in the future. I regret to report that on February 18, 2003, we lost a most valued member of the Triumph Group family – Robert E. Perry, Group President, Triumph Structural Components. He was respected and admired by us all and will be greatly missed. Triumph closes its first decade and commences its second at a time of uncertainty for the industry. These are demanding times, yet the fundamentals of our business are sound and through our commitment to our strategies and philosophy we will grow our Company to over $1 billion in sales. It is my belief that through the dedication of our people and commitment to our customers, Triumph is well positioned to prosper in the years and decades to come.
