Item 2.02                Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 25, 2007, Triumph Group, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 and conducted a conference call to further discuss the financial results.  The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

On the conference call, in addition to reviewing the information contained in the press release, the executive officers also discussed the following financial information:

·                                          Export sales for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 were 22% of revenue.  For the year to date as of December 31, 2006, sales mix was as follows:  commercial was 43% (compared to 45% in the prior full fiscal year), military was 33% (same as in the prior full fiscal year), regional jets were 5% (compared to 6% in the prior full fiscal year), business jets were 11% (compared to 9% in the prior full fiscal year) and other was 8% (compared to 7% in the prior full fiscal year).

·                                          The top ten programs represented in the backlog were the 737NG, 777, A320, CH47, V22, UH60, 787, 747, C17 and 767 programs, respectively.

·                                          For the year to date as of December 31, 2006, Boeing commercial, military and space accounted for 22% of net sales.

·                                          The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was 30.1%, which reflects a $0.06 per share benefit from the renewal of the Research and Experimentation tax credit in December, 2006.  The company expects its full year effective tax rate to 33.5%.
