Fellow Shareholders:

per diluted common share, down from $19.4 million,
or $1.22 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2004.
Net income for fiscal 2005 was $11.4 million, or
$0.72 per diluted common share, compared with
$18.2 million, or $1.14 per diluted common share, 
for the prior year.

Your senior management team views the past year 
as a transitional one, but more important, feels the
restructuring that characterized this transitional
period is at an end. Our refocused business model,
strong balance sheet and outstanding workforce,
combined with an industry that is once again
expanding, with higher build rates and growth in
available seat miles, position us for accelerated
growth during the next several years.

Our optimism also stems from the engineering,
operating, marketing, service and support strengths
exhibited by our two segments: Triumph Aerospace
Systems Group and Triumph Aftermarket Services
Group. As seen in fiscal 2005, both segments are
experiencing strong sales growth. Excluding the
Other segment, which was disposed of or shut down
this year, sales in Triumph Aerospace Systems were
up 18% for the year; sales in Triumph Aftermarket
Services were up 17%. 

Underlying Strengths
Fueling that growth are several important factors.
One is that Triumph Group companies continue 
to develop deeper and more extensive customer
relationships. This means that we are working more
closely with customers earlier in the design and
development process; engaging in collaborative
efforts that go beyond the design/build of
components to encompass delivery of entire systems
for commercial and military aircraft. The role of
systems supplier brings with it not only higher
revenue and profit potential, but places Triumph 
on the short list of preferred suppliers in whom
customers place an extra measure of trust and value. 

Within our core aerospace businesses, fiscal 2005 was
a year of solid growth and profitability for Triumph
Group. Sales for fiscal 2005 rose 13% to $688.5
million while cash flow from operations increased 42%
to $65.0 million. And at year end, the Company’s
backlog of work on order was $598 million, a 17%
increase over the same point last year. Additionally,
proceeds from the sale of our Metals business and
assets of our Industrial Gas Turbine (IGT) business
along with strong cash flow from operations, allowed us
to pay down $68 million in debt, reducing our debt-to-
capital ratio to 23%. With the sale of the Metals
Operations and, even more important, our exit from the
IGT business, Triumph Group resources, energy and
innovation can now be channeled exclusively to
aerospace systems and services. 

That being said, the Company did not achieve its
financial goals in fiscal 2005 due to the costs
associated with winding down the IGT business,
which had a material effect on earnings in fiscal 2005.
Operating losses in IGT and expenses related to the
divestiture, combined with two other unusual expense
items – litigation and non-recurring charges related to
Sarbanes-Oxley compliance – reduced net income
from continuing operations by $0.80 a share. As a
result, income from continuing operations for fiscal
2005 for Triumph Group was $15.8 million, or $0.99

Another equally important factor is the increasingly
integrated delivery of Triumph Group products 
and services. Although we continue to rely on a
decentralized management approach and the
entrepreneurial instincts of local managers, we are also
making it easier to do business with the Triumph Group
by providing a single point of customer contact within
our Company. At the same time, this coordinated 
group marketing significantly increases our ability to
cross-sell other Triumph Group capabilities. 

Many of the major contract wins we had in fiscal
2005 reflect our move up the supplier food chain.
Triumph Composite Systems was awarded a contract
to design and manufacture the floor panel system 
for the new A380 Airbus freighter. The contract
required that we participate in the joint definition
phase of the aircraft’s design. A good example of 
our customers placing a high degree of trust in our
companies was Triumph Gear Systems’ being
awarded a contract to continue to supply General
Electric with the inlet gearbox and related spare
parts for the life of the CFM56 engine program.
These multi-year and other contracts not only add 
to the predictability of our revenue and earnings
stream, they presage opportunities for future sales 
to these important customers.

A Winning Course
Since becoming a public company in 1996, the
management of Triumph Group, Inc. has followed the
same strategic course; namely: we continually add
new products and services; we expand our operating
capacity; we acquire aggressively and accretively; we
market our complete capabilities; and we increase
our international presence. Because we embrace
change as a matter of business practice, we are well
positioned to capitalize on the shifting dynamics in
today’s aerospace industry. 

Our lean enterprise efforts will ensure that we remain
competitive in all aspects of our businesses. Our
focus over the past year has been on developing four

“model” sites that will provide our customers with
unparalleled levels of products, services and support,
while serving as world class lean learning centers for
our 3,800 plus employees. This focus will continue
for the foreseeable future. Concurrently, we are
engaged in extensive lean transformations at nearly
every one of our other operating companies, many of
which are using the lessons learned from our Lean
University in Spokane, WA and from participating in
lean events at their facilities and Triumph’s model
sites. All of this is being done to ensure that Triumph
is extremely well positioned to take advantage of the
changes and growth in our industry.

These changes include airframe manufacturers
concentrating on the integration and assembly of
aircraft and outsourcing the design/manufacturing of
an increasingly large number of parts and systems to
cost-effective suppliers like Triumph. Airlines, always
driving for that extra measure of efficiency, are
outsourcing more of their maintenance to third parties,
few of which have the breadth of capabilities offered
by Triumph. They are also moving to smaller, more
efficient regional jets. Because we anticipated this
trend several years ago, we know these aircraft
components well and are able to service and refurbish
them with a level of speed, agility and quality that
few, if any, of our competitors can match. 

Our restructuring has positioned us for success and
reinforced what was already a strong financial
foundation. We are confident that through the
dedication of our people and commitment to our
customers, we will be successful in reaching our
primary financial objectives and creating greater wealth
for our shareholders. We are prepared operationally,
strategically and financially to take full advantage of
the robust and expanding aerospace industry.
