Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Net sales during the third quarter of 1994 equaled $133.6 million,
exceeding last year's third quarter sales by 21.8 percent. Sales during 1994's
first nine months increased 23.8 percent over the comparable period in 1993 to
$415.0 million. Both third quarter and year-to-date sales represent records for
the relevant periods as all four of the Company's reporting segments experienced
increases in sales over the corresponding periods of 1993. Operating results
during 1994 include those of Lamons Metal Gasket Co., acquired in November,
1993.
Net sales of the Towing Systems segment increased 9.8 percent in the third
quarter of 1994, and 15.7 percent in the first nine months of 1994. Sales for
this segment reached $40.8 million for the third quarter of 1994, and $136.2
million for the first nine months of 1994. Factors contributing to these sales
increases include a stronger automotive sales cycle, particularly sales of light
trucks and sport utility vehicles which are more apt to use towing system
products, strong demand for marine OEM and aftermarket products, and continuing
new product introductions. Because of the seasonality of the demand for the
products provided by this segment, its sales are concentrated in the second and
third quarters of each year.
Third quarter 1994 sales by the Specialty Fasteners segment increased 11.0
percent over 1993's level to $34.0 million. For the first nine months of the
year, sales increased 13.9 percent to $105.0 million. Increased sales to heavy-
duty truck, distribution, and other original equipment industrial markets have
favorably impacted the operating results of this segment. As customers in these
markets have continued to consolidate their vendor bases,
5
preferred suppliers like the TriMas Specialty Fasteners companies have increased
their market shares.
Sales of the Specialty Container Products segment for the third quarter
1994 were $40.9 million, a 57.7 percent increase over the comparable period in
1993. For the first nine months of the year, sales increased 55.2 percent to
$122.3 million. In addition to the impact of the Lamons Metal Gasket
acquisition which is reflected in 1994's results, sales of specialty container
closures and compressed gas cylinders improved as the industrial and commercial
markets requiring these products strengthened along with the general economy.
Corporate Companies segment sales were $17.9 million during the 1994 third
quarter, an 11.9 percent increase over 1993's third quarter. Sales for the
first nine months of 1994 increased 10.6 percent to $51.5 million. Strong
demand for cutting tools, specialty industrial tape products and vapor barrier
products used in construction applications contributed to the improved
performance of this segment.
The Company's consolidated gross margin for the third quarter of 1994 was
32.6 percent compared to 31.9 percent for the third quarter of 1993. For the
first nine months of 1994 and 1993, the gross margins were 32.3 percent and 31.6
percent, respectively. The volume sensitive nature of the Company's operations
results in improved gross margins as sales increase. Maintaining high gross
margins is an important operating strategy of the Company as it helps maximize
earnings growth as a result of sales increases.
The Company's consolidated operating profit for the third quarter of 1994
was $22.9 million, a 32.7 percent increase over the similar period of 1993. The
operating margins for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 were
17.1 percent and 15.7 percent, respectively. For the first nine
6
months of 1994, operating profit increased 32.1 percent to $70.7 million and
represented an operating margin of 17.0 percent, compared to operating profit of
$53.5 million or 16.0 percent of net sales in 1993. All four of the Company's
segments reported an increase in operating profit for the third quarter and the
first nine months of 1994. This improvement in profit is primarily the result
of successful cost reduction programs employed by the operating units, as well
as the previously discussed increased sales volumes including the effect of the
Lamons acquisition.
Interest expense increased in both the third quarter and first nine months
of 1994 compared to last year principally because of the borrowings associated
with the Lamons acquisition and higher prevailing interest rates. Higher
interest rates and increased average cash balances resulted in more interest
income, the major component of other income, in both 1994 periods.
Earnings available for common stock for the nine months and three months
ended September 30, 1994 were $38.1 million and $12.4 million respectively,
compared to $24.3 million and $7.7 million respectively, after provisions for
preferred stock dividends, in last year's comparable periods. Primary earnings
per common share equalled $1.03 on 37.0 million shares for the first nine months
of 1994 compared to 1993's primary earnings per common share of $.83 on 29.2
million shares. The increase in common shares outstanding was the result of the
conversion of the Company's $100 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock in
December, 1993. Fully diluted earnings per common share were $.97 on 42.1
million shares versus $.79 on 38.0 million shares for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in fully diluted shares
was the result of the issuance of 5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures in
August, 1993. Primary and fully diluted earnings per common share for the third
quarter of 1994 were $.33 and $.32, compared to $.26 and $.25 in 1993's third
quarter.

Liquidity, Working Capital and Cash Flows
The Company's financial strategies include maintaining a relatively high
level of liquidity. Historically, TriMas Corporation has generated sufficient
cash flows from operating activities to fund capital expenditures, debt service
and dividends, while maintaining its strategic level of liquidity. At September
30, 1994 the current ratio was 4.5 to 1 and working capital equalled $197.5
million, including $96.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. At December 31,
1993 the current ratio was 4.2 to 1 and working capital equalled $163.8
million. At September 30, 1994, the Company had available credit of $228.0
million under its revolving credit facility.
Cash flows from operations provided $47.0 million and $38.0 million during
the first nine months of 1994 and 1993, respectively. These operating cash
flows were net of increases in receivables of $12.3 million in 1994 and $12.4
million in 1993. This increase in receivables during the first nine months of
each year is due mainly to the seasonality of the Towing Systems segment, and
increased sales volumes. Capital expenditures equalled $16.7 million and $16.1
million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The conversion of the Company's
Preferred Stock in December, 1993 and an increase in the dividend rate resulted
in common stock dividends paid in 1994 of $3.7 million versus $2.3 million in
1993. No preferred stock dividends have been paid in 1994 compared to $10.5
million paid in the first nine months of 1993.
The Company believes its cash flows from operations, along with its
borrowing capacity and access to financial markets, are adequate to fund its
strategies for future growth, including working capital, expenditures for
manufacturing expansion and efficiencies, market share initiatives, and
corporate development activities.
