TRIMAS CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Company Reports 100% Increase in Diluted EPS on 22.5% Sales Growth
Company Raises Outlook for 2011
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Michigan, April 28, 2011 TriMas Corporation (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The Company reported quarterly net sales from continuing operations of $269.7 million, an increase of 22.5% compared to first quarter 2010. First quarter 2011 income from continuing operations was $11.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $5.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, during first quarter 2010.
TriMas Highlights
· Reported 22.5% net sales growth in first quarter 2011, as compared to 2010, due to overall improved economic conditions, positive results from 2010 bolt-on acquisitions and the successful execution of numerous key growth initiatives.
· Cequent Consumer Products, part of the Cequent North America segment, achieved market share gains for its cargo management products at a large retailer.
· Lamons, part of the Energy segment, successfully integrated South Texas Bolt & Fitting, acquired in fourth quarter 2010, and achieved incremental bolt revenue during the quarter by leveraging Lamons extensive sales and service center network.
· Improved both income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations by approximately 100%, compared to first quarter 2010.
· Decreased operating working capital as a percentage of last twelve months (LTM) sales from 17.5% in first quarter 2010 to 17.3% in first quarter 2011.
Building upon the positive momentum of the past year, 2011 is off to a great start, said David Wathen, TriMas President and Chief Executive Officer. We achieved higher than expected sales growth of 22.5% during the first quarter, resulting from successful execution of our strategic growth initiatives including product innovation, market share gains, geographic expansion and bolt-on acquisitions, and improved end markets. Our disciplined investment in these initiatives, including our commitment to emerging markets, will continue to be funded by the savings generated from our productivity and lean programs.
Wathen continued, Despite rapidly rising commodity inflation, the majority of our businesses were able to hold or improve their operating profit margins compared to first quarter 2010. We experienced a slight decline in operating profit margin overall, largely due to sales mix shift, as segments with lower margins, such as Engineered Components and Cequent North America, had significant sales increases in first quarter 2011. However, given our strong sales growth, continued focus on productivity and effective management of the capital structure, first quarter 2011 diluted earnings per share improved approximately 100% to $0.34, as compared to first quarter 2010.
Based on our first quarter results and current expectations, we expect to deliver continued strong results in line with our strategic aspirations. We are now estimating 2011 top-line growth of 8% to 11%, compared to 2010, with full-year 2011 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations expected to range between $1.45 and $1.60 per share. We continue to be confident in our ability to grow the top-line faster than the economy, create sustainable operating leverage and generate strong cash flow, Wathen concluded.
First Quarter Financial Results From Continuing Operations
· TriMas reported first quarter net sales of $269.7 million, as compared to $220.1 million in first quarter 2010, led by double-digit percentage increases in the Energy, Engineered Components and Cequent North America segments. Sales increased due to improved volumes resulting from the continued economic
recovery, as well as additional sales from bolt-on acquisitions transacted in 2010, market share gains, new product introductions and geographic expansion. In addition, net sales were favorably impacted by approximately $2.7 million as a result of currency exchange.
· The Company reported operating profit of $30.0 million in first quarter 2011, as compared to operating profit of $25.1 million during first quarter 2010, primarily as a result of higher sales levels. First quarter 2011 operating profit margin was 11.1%, compared to 11.4% in first quarter 2010. This slight decline in operating margin was primarily due to a sales mix shift, as reportable segments with lower margins, Engineered Components and Cequent North America, comprised a greater percentage of sales in first quarter 2011. The Company continued to generate significant savings from productivity and lean initiatives which continued to fund investment in growth initiatives and offset economic cost increases.
· First quarter 2011 income from continuing operations was $11.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, an increase of approximately 100% compared to an income from continuing operations of $5.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, during first quarter 2010.
· The Company reported a Free Cash Flow (defined as Cash Flow from Operating Activities less Capital Expenditures) use of $33.8 million for first quarter 2011, compared to a use of $6.7 million in first quarter 2010. Operating working capital as a percentage of last twelve months (LTM) sales continued to improve, declining from 17.5% in first quarter 2010 to 17.3% in first quarter 2011. The Company expects to generate $50 to $60 million in Free Cash Flow for 2011.
Financial Position
TriMas reported total indebtedness of $495.6 million as of March 31, 2011, as compared to $494.7 million as of December 31, 2010, and $518.5 million as of March 31, 2010. TriMas ended first quarter 2011 with $156.4 million of cash and aggregate availability under its revolving credit and accounts receivable facilities.
Business Segment Results From Continuing Operations
Packaging (Consists of Rieke Corporation including its foreign subsidiaries of Englass, Rieke Germany, Rieke Italia and Rieke China)
Net sales for first quarter were relatively flat compared to the year ago period, as an increase in industrial closure product sales was substantially offset by lower specialty dispensing sales due to H1N1 flu virus product sales and two new product pipeline fills in first quarter 2010 that did not recur in first quarter 2011. Operating profit for the quarter was relatively flat, as increases in gross profit generated by capital, productivity and lean initiatives were essentially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative costs in support of growth initiatives. The Company continues to diversify its product offering by developing specialty dispensing product applications for growing end markets, including pharmaceutical, personal care and food/beverage, and expanding geographically to generate long-term growth.
Energy (Consists of Lamons)
First quarter net sales increased 26.7% compared to the year ago period due to increased sales of gaskets and related bolts and fasteners resulting from higher levels of turn-around activity at petrochemical refineries and increased demand from the chemical industry. This segment also benefited from incremental sales as a result of the acquisition of South Texas Bolt & Fitting completed in the fourth quarter of 2010, as well as sales resulting from newly opened branch facilities. Operating profit for the quarter increased due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative costs in support of sales growth initiatives. The Company continues to grow its sales and service branch network, capitalize on synergies related to the acquisition of South Texas Bolt & Fitting and expand its lines of complementary products.
Aerospace & Defense (Consists of Monogram Aerospace Fasteners and NI Industries)
Net sales for the first quarter increased 8.3% compared to the year ago period, due primarily to improved demand from aerospace distribution customers. Operating profit declined slightly, attributable to a less profitable product sales mix between years, largely offset by increased gross profit and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Given the long-term prospects for its aerospace business, the Company continues to
invest in this high-margin segment by developing and marketing highly-engineered products for aerospace applications, as well as expanding its offerings to military and defense customers.
Engineered Components (Consists of Arrow Engine, Hi-Vol Products, KEO Cutters, Norris Cylinder and Richards Micro-Tool)
First quarter net sales increased 57.8% compared to the year ago period, primarily due to increased international demand for industrial cylinders, new cylinder applications and the positive impact of the cylinder asset acquisition completed during second quarter 2010, as well as improved demand for engines, other well-site content and compression products. The specialty fittings and precision cutting tools businesses also experienced improved demand, primarily resulting from the upturn in the domestic economy and new product offerings. First quarter operating profit improved substantially and related margins improved 400 basis points compared to the prior year period, due to higher sales levels, increased absorption of fixed costs, and productivity and cost reduction efforts, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses supporting the increased sales levels. The Company continues to develop new products and expand its international sales efforts.
Cequent Asia Pacific (Consists of Cequent Australia/Asia Pacific)
Net sales for the first quarter decreased 2.4% compared to first quarter 2010 due to reduced demand resulting from lower consumer spending levels in Australia compared to higher levels experienced in first quarter 2010 which were boosted by government incentive programs. Recent natural disasters in Australia also impacted end market sales demand in the quarter, partially offset by the favorable impact of currency exchange. Operating profit and related margins decreased due to lower sales levels and higher selling, general and administrative costs in support of the Companys growth initiatives, partially offset by the impact of favorable currency exchange. The Company continues to reduce fixed costs and leverage Cequents strong brand positions to capitalize on growth opportunities in expanding markets.
Cequent North America (Consists of Cequent Performance Products and Cequent Consumer Products)
Net sales for first quarter increased 29.0% compared to the year ago period, resulting from increased sales within the retail, original equipment, aftermarket and industrial channels. Sales increases were the result of improved customer demand, market share gains and new product introductions. First quarter operating profit increased substantially with a margin improvement of 100 basis points compared to first quarter 2010, due to improved sales levels, cost reduction actions, improved sourcing and productivity initiatives, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs in support of the Companys growth initiatives. The Company continues to reduce fixed costs, minimize its investment in working capital and leverage Cequents strong brand positions and new products for increased market share.
2011 Outlook
The Company raised its outlook for full-year 2011 diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations to be between $1.45 and $1.60 per share, excluding any future events that may be considered Special Items. The Company previously provided an outlook for 2011 EPS to be between $1.40 and $1.50 per share. The Company also raised its 2011 sales outlook from an increase of 6% to 9% to a range of 8% to 11% compared to 2010. In addition, the Company expects 2011 Free Cash Flow, defined as Cash Flow from Operating Activities less Capital Expenditures, to be between $50 million and $60 million.

Segment Highlights |
Packaging Results: Q1 2011 sales were relatively flat due to improved demand for industrial closures, offset by a decline in specialty dispensing sales Excluding $3.7 M of specialty dispensing H1N1-related sales in Q1 2010 that did not recur in Q1 2011, Q1 2011 sales would have increased 10% Gross profit margin increased 250 basis points as a result of capital, productivity and lean initiatives, despite rising commodity costs Operating profit was relatively flat, as increases in gross profit were essentially offset by increases in SG&A in support of growth initiatives ($ in millions) Key Initiatives: Target specialty dispensing products in higher growth end markets Pharmaceutical and medical Food and beverage Personal care Increase geographic coverage efforts in Europe and Asia Increase low-cost country sourcing and manufacturing Consider complementary bolt-on acquisitions Ensure new products continue to have barriers to entry 14 |
Energy ($ in millions) Results: Sales increased due to improved demand for specialty gaskets and fasteners, incremental sales from newer branch facilities and the acquisition of South Texas Bolt & Fitting (STB&F) The results generated by the acquisition of STB&F are exceeding expectations Operating profit increased due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by higher SG&A in support of growth Q1 2011 operating profit margin remained flat as compared to Q1 2010 Key Initiatives: Faster expansion of business with major customers globally Capitalize on synergies related to acquisition of STB&F Increase sales of specialty gaskets and bolts Capture larger share of new markets such as OEM, Engineered & Construction, Power Generation and Pulp/Paper Continue to reduce costs and improve working capital turnover 15 |
Aerospace & Defense Key Initiatives: Expand aerospace fastener product lines to increase content and applications per aircraft Drive ongoing lean initiatives to lower working capital and reduce costs Leverage and further develop existing defense customer relationships Consider complementary bolt-on acquisitions ($ in millions) Results: Q1 2011 sales increased due to improved demand from aerospace distribution customers continuing trend that began in Q3 2010 of higher order activity Operating profit was negatively impacted by a less profitable sales mix, largely offset by lower levels of SG&A Expectations for continued ramp-up of large frame, composite aircraft 16 |
Engineered Components ($ in millions) Key Initiatives: Expand complementary product lines at well-site and grow natural gas compression products Capitalize on shale and natural gas opportunities Develop additional capabilities of cylinder business to capture new markets Continue to reduce costs and improve working capital turnover Continue to expand product offering and geographies Expand specialty products for existing component and tooling markets Results: Q1 sales increased due to improved demand for industrial cylinders in international markets, engines and other well-site content, compressors, specialty fittings and precision cutting tools Positive impact of Q2 2010 cylinder asset acquisition and new product launches/applications enhanced growth Operating profit increased due to higher sales volumes, increased absorption of fixed costs and productivity efforts, partially offset by higher SG&A supporting the increased sales levels Q1 2011 operating profit margin improved approximately 400 basis points compared to Q1 2010 17 |
Cequent (Asia Pacific & North America) ($ in millions) $46.4 Results: Q1 sales in North America improved due to increased sales within the retail, original equipment, aftermarket and industrial channels North American operating profit improved substantially with a margin improvement of 100 bps Asia Pacific sales declined when compared to Q1 2010, which benefited from Australian government incentive programs; recent Australian natural disasters also had a negative impact, partially offset by the favorable impact of currency exchange Asia Pacific operating profit declined due to lower sales levels and higher SG&A in support of growth initiatives Key Initiatives: Continue to reduce fixed costs and simplify the business Improve processes for better customer service and support Leverage strong brands for additional market share and cross-selling Expand sales to newer geographies Continue to reduce working capital requirements Asia Pacific North America 18 Asia Pacific North America |
