FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TRIMAS CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER
SALES AND EARNINGS

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — November 6, 2007 — TriMas Corporation (NYSE: TRS) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Sales and earnings performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 represented a third quarter record for the Company.

Third Quarter Highlights

                  Sales for the third quarter were up 7.2% to $262.2 million, as compared to $244.6 million in the third quarter of 2006.

                  Operating profit improved 6.1% to $27.3 million, as compared to $25.7 million in the third quarter of 2006.

                  Adjusted EBITDA(1) from continuing operations for third quarter 2007 increased 8.4% to $37.1 million, as compared to $34.2 million in the third quarter of 2006.

                  Income from continuing operations increased to $6.6 million, or $0.20 per share on a fully-diluted basis, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $2.3 million, or $0.11 per share on a fully-diluted basis in third quarter 2006. The results from third quarter 2006 included a non-cash, after-tax charge of $5.4 million, or $0.26 per share, related to the Company’s successful refinancing of its bank debt.

“The third quarter of 2007 represents the eighth consecutive quarter of improved year-over-year operating performance,” said Grant Beard, TriMas’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “With 7.2% sales growth for the quarter, we are seeing the positive results of our growth strategies and our business model as a diversified industrial company. Industrial Specialties continued its strong performance as sales and operating profit increased 22.3% and 19.8%, respectively, compared to the year ago period as this segment benefited from product expansion and market share gains. We are also pleased with the quarterly performance of our RV & Trailer Products and Recreational Accessories business segments which increased both sales and operating profit against a back drop of weak end markets.”

Beard continued, “While we are feeling the impact of the recent challenges facing some of the end markets of our Packaging Systems and Energy Products business segments, we still firmly believe in the long-term growth prospects for these segments. We will continue to drive organic growth through new product development and international expansion initiatives, while continuing to focus on improving our operational efficiency.”

Third Quarter Segment Results

Packaging Systems - Sales decreased 3.1% primarily due to reduced sales of the core industrial closure products resulting from lower end market demand in portions of the industrial chemical, paint and construction markets. Overall, this product group’s margins exceed the margins of the tapes, laminates and consumer dispensing products, which experienced relatively flat sales in the quarter.  Operating profit declined due to the decrease in sales levels, increases in steel and resin costs not able to be recovered from customers and additional labor, overhead and selling costs associated with new product growth initiatives. The Company is focused on developing specialty product applications for growing end markets and expanding geographically to generate long-term growth, while recovering increases in raw material costs in the near-term.

 

 

2



 

Energy Products - Sales increased 4.8% due to continued strong growth of specialty gasket sales to the refinery and petrochemical industries. The increase in gasket sales was partially offset by a decline in the sales of compressor engines and repair parts resulting from the lower levels of natural gas drilling activity in Western Canada. Operating profit declined primarily due to the change in product sales mix, specifically volume declines in the engine and repair parts business. While the timing of the recovery of the natural gas market in Canada remains uncertain, the Company plans to continue to launch new products to complement its engine business, while expanding its gasket business internationally.

Industrial Specialties - Sales increased 22.3% due to continued strong market demand and product expansion in the Company’s aerospace fastener, industrial cylinder, defense and precision cutting tool businesses. The segment also benefited from the August 2007 acquisition of a medical device manufacturer.   Operating profit increased in line with revenue growth. The Company plans to leverage its successful growth strategies by continuing to develop specialty products for growing end markets and expand international sales efforts.

RV & Trailer Products - Sales increased 6.0% primarily due to new product sales in the electrical products business, partially offset by weak end market demand in the trailer products business. Operating profit improved due to the increased sales of electrical products and margin improvement in the Company’s Australian business. The Company’s focus is to continue to leverage strong brand positions for increased market share, cross-sell the product portfolio into all channels and expand internationally, while continuing to proactively manage costs and operational efficiency.

Recreational Accessories - Sales increased 7.4% due to the introduction of new programs and market share gains, despite a weak end market. Operating profit continued to improve as a result of full run-rate savings from sourcing initiatives and productivity improvements implemented throughout 2006. The Company plans to continue to increase market share in the United States and Canada and pursue new market opportunities in select international markets.

Financial Position

TriMas ended the quarter with total debt of $624.5 million and funding under receivables securitization of $44.3 million for a total of $668.8 million. Total debt and receivables securitization decreased by $85.4 million when compared to the year ago period, due primarily to the retirement of $100 million face value of senior subordinated notes with proceeds from the Company’s Initial Public Offering in the second quarter of 2007. TriMas ended the quarter with cash of $4.2 million and $112.5 million of availability under its existing revolving credit and receivables securitization facilities.

Acquisitions

On August 1, 2007, TriMas acquired DEW Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of specialty, high-precision spinal and trauma implant products serving the orthopedic device industry. The addition of DEW Technologies provides the Company access to new markets and broadens its product portfolio into the medical industry, a market with significant growth opportunities. DEW Technologies operates as part of the Industrial Specialties business segment. On July 12, 2007, the Company also acquired the “Fifth Gear” product line from Quest Technologies LLC to complement the Recreational Accessories segment’s product portfolio, targeting the recreational vehicle market.

Manufacturing Consolidation

As previously announced on October 4, 2007, TriMas plans to close its Huntsville, Ontario, Canada plant that manufactures trailer hitches and related accessories for the automobile and light-duty truck aftermarket. The Huntsville plant operations, included in the Recreational Accessories business segment, will be phased out by December 2007 and consolidated into the Company’s Goshen, Indiana facility. This action, which was enabled by significant productivity gains at the Goshen facility, is expected to result in annual pre-tax savings of approximately $2 to $3 million. TriMas will record an estimated pre-tax charge of approximately $11 million, of which $10 million will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007, when management approved this action. The remaining amount will be recognized in 2008. Approximately $4 million of the fourth quarter 2007 charge will represent non-cash charges related to accelerated depreciation on property and equipment.

Outlook

In its August 2, 2007 second quarter earnings release, TriMas provided full year 2007 Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations guidance of $148 million to $156 million, compared to $138 million in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations earned in 2006. This range excludes approximately $14 million of costs and expenses related to the use of IPO proceeds and the estimated fourth quarter charges associated with the Huntsville plant closure.

As a result of weakness in certain end markets, most notably the paint and construction industries, and continued low levels of natural gas drilling activity in Western Canada, the Company now expects to be at the low-end of the previously disclosed Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations range of $148 million to $156 million.

The above outlook does not include the impact of any future unidentified restructuring charges and sales or acquisitions of operating assets that may occur from time to time due to management decisions and changing business circumstances. The outlook above also does not include the impact of any potential future non-cash impairment charges of goodwill, intangibles and fixed assets. The Company is currently unable to forecast the likelihood of occurrence, timing and/or magnitude of any such amounts or events. See also “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-looking Statements” on page 5 of this release.

TriMas will broadcast its third quarter earnings conference call today, Tuesday, November 6, 2007, at 11:00 a.m. EST.

(1)          The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash asset and goodwill impairment write-offs, and non-cash losses on sale-leaseback of property and equipment.  Lease expense and non-recurring charges are included in Adjusted EBITDA and include both cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring and integration expenses.  In evaluating our business, management considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key indicator of financial operating performance and as a measure of cash generating capability.  Management believes this measure is useful as an analytical indicator of leverage capacity and debt servicing ability, and uses it to measure financial performance as well as for planning purposes.  However, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an indicator of operating performance.  The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.

This document contains “forward-looking” statements, as that term is defined by the federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations and business. Forward-looking statements include certain anticipated, believed, planned, forecasted, expected, targeted and estimated results along with TriMas’ outlook concerning future results. The words “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends and data are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties and accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. The cautionary statements set forth above should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included in this document include general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate and industry-based factors such as: technological developments that could competitively disadvantage us, increases in our raw material, energy, and healthcare costs, our dependence on key individuals and relationships, exposure to product liability, recall and warranty claims, work stoppages at our facilities, or our customers or suppliers, risks associated with international markets, protection of or liability associated with our intellectual property, lower cost foreign manufacturers, compliance with environmental and other regulations, and competition within our industries. In addition, factors more specific to us could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included in this document such as our substantial leverage, limitations imposed by our debt instruments, our ability to successfully pursue our stated growth strategies and opportunities, including our ability to identify attractive and other strategic acquisition opportunities and to successfully integrate acquired businesses and complete actions we have identified as providing cost-saving opportunities.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure Adjusted EBITDA (1) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash asset and goodwill impairment write-offs, non-cash losses on sale-leaseback of property and equipment. Lease expense and non-recurring charges are included in Adjusted EBITDA and include both cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring and integration expenses. In evaluating our business, management considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key indicator of financial operating performance and as a measure of cash generating capability. Management believes this measure is useful as an analytical indicator of leverage capacity and debt servicing ability, and uses it to measure financial performance as well as for planning purposes. However, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an indicator of operating performance. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.
