First Quarter 2023
TriMas reported first quarter 2023 net sales of
The Company reported first quarter 2023 net income of
"Our first quarter results came in largely as anticipated, with pockets of strength and strong backlogs in certain of our end markets," said
"Looking ahead to the remainder of 2023, notwithstanding a more cautious near-term outlook, our ability to generate compelling annual cash flow allows us to continue to invest in innovation, pay a dividend, opportunistically repurchase shares and pursue acquisitions. Additionally, we have made significant strides in our ESG journey, and remain committed to continuously enhancing our sustainability strategy and maximizing our positive impact. We are confident that TriMas’ diversified end market model, focus on innovation, cash generation profile and dedicated global workforce will continue to provide value-creating opportunities," Amato concluded.
Financial Position
During first quarter 2023, the Company used
TriMas ended first quarter 2023 with
The Company reported net cash provided by operating activities of
First Quarter Segment Results
TriMas' Specialty Products segment net sales increased 19.2% compared to the year ago period, primarily due to higher demand for cylinders used in construction and HVAC applications, as well as increased sales of stationary power generation and compressor units, as demand has increased in North American energy markets. First quarter operating profit and the related margin level increased, as a result of higher sales and the positive impact of prior factory floor investments and improvement actions.
Outlook
The Company reaffirms its full year 2023 outlook provided on
"Our first quarter results were largely in line with our expectations, and we continue to expect a demand recovery within
"Based on our current order book and visibility, we anticipate second quarter EPS to improve sequentially from the first quarter, albeit still significantly lower than the prior year quarter. We expect the second half of the year to be markedly improved compared to the first half, as we lap the year-over-year impact of customer inventory rebalancing, and expect a return to a more normalized seasonal selling period. We believe our strategy will continue to drive long-term value for our shareholders, and remain confident in our prospects for the future," commented Amato.
The above outlook includes the impact of all announced acquisitions. All of the above amounts considered as 2023 guidance are after adjusting for any current or future amounts that may be considered Special Items, and in the case of adjusted diluted earnings per share, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense for deals that have not yet been consummated. The inability to predict the amount and timing of the impacts of these Special Items makes a detailed reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures impracticable.(1)

TriMas will host its first quarter 2023 earnings conference call today,
Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Any "forward-looking" statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, contained herein, including those relating to TriMas’ business, financial condition or future results, involve risks and uncertainties with respect to, including, but not limited to: general economic and currency conditions; the severity and duration of the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic; competitive factors; market demand; our ability to realize our business strategies; our ability to identify attractive acquisition candidates, successfully integrate acquired operations or realize the intended benefits of such acquisitions; pressures on our supply chain, including availability of raw materials and inflationary pressures on raw material and energy costs, and customers; the performance of our subcontractors and suppliers; risks and uncertainties associated with intangible assets, including goodwill or other intangible asset impairment charges; risks associated with a concentrated customer base; information technology and other cyber-related risks; risks related to our international operations, including, but not limited to, risks relating to rising tensions between
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, certain non-GAAP financial measures are used. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure may be found in Appendix I at the end of this release. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors by helping them identify underlying trends in the Company’s businesses and facilitating comparisons of performance with prior and future periods and to the Company’s peers. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided only for the expected impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets for completed acquisitions, as the Company is unable to provide estimates of future Special Items(1) or amortization from future acquisitions without unreasonable effort, due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the financial impact of such items impacting comparability and the periods in which such items may be recognized. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Additional information is available at www.trimascorp.com under the “Investors” section.
|
(1) |
Appendix I details certain costs, expenses and other amounts or charges, collectively described as "Special Items," that are included in the determination of net income, earnings per share and/or cash flows from operating activities under GAAP, but that management believes should be separately considered when evaluating the quality of the Company’s core operating results, given they may not reflect the ongoing activities of the business. |
|
(2) |
The Company defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as net income (per GAAP), plus or minus the after-tax impact of Special Items(2), plus the after-tax impact of non-cash acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense. While the acquisition-related intangible assets aid in the Company’s revenue generation, the Company adjusts for the non-cash amortization expense because the Company believes it (i) enhances management’s and investors’ ability to analyze underlying business performance, (ii) facilitates comparisons of financial results over multiple periods, and (iii) provides more relevant comparisons of financial results with the results of other companies as the amortization expense associated with these assets may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the timing, size, nature, and number of acquisitions. |
|
(3) |
The Company defines Net Debt as Total Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents. Please see Appendix I for additional details. |
|
(4) |
The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Net Cash Provided by/Used for Operating Activities, excluding the cash impact of Special Items, less Capital Expenditures. Please see Appendix I for additional details. |
