Item 8.01 Other Events.
Triumph Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified on April 5, 2019 of production rate adjustments planned by The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) over the next several months on the 737 MAX from 52 to 42 airplanes per month. The Company noted that it does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial performance or forecasts, as the program historically has contributed a single digit percentage of annual revenue. The Company will work with its suppliers to actively manage internal and supplier delivery schedules. Given the shorter production spans of the component factories that support the 737 MAX, the rate adjustments can be accommodated with normal operational capacity with minimal adjustments to working capital, shop utilization, and overtime reductions. The Company will use the intervening months to derisk any supply chain areas of concern.
The Company provides landing gear, gearboxes and actuation systems as well as interior components and ducting for the 737 MAX.
