TRIMAS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Michigan, July 27, 2023 - TriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
TriMas Highlights
Increased second quarter net sales in TriMas Specialty Products and TriMas Aerospace groups by 33.7% and 26.2%, respectively, while maintaining strong order backlogs in both groups
Achieved three sequential months of strengthening order backlogs during second quarter within TriMas Packaging group, although overall market demand recovery not yet at previously anticipated levels
Reduced net outstanding shares through six months by 0.7%, as a result of repurchasing more than 450,000 shares of common stock
Published updated Sustainability Report highlighting progress achieved in 2022
Second Quarter 2023
TriMas reported second quarter 2023 net sales of $233.2 million, a decrease of 1.9% compared to $237.7 million in second quarter 2022, as organic growth in the TriMas Specialty Products and TriMas Aerospace groups, and acquisition-related sales, were more than offset by lower market demand for TriMas Packaging dispenser and closure products used in personal care, food and industrial applications. The Company reported operating profit of $20.1 million in second quarter 2023, compared to $29.9 million in second quarter 2022. Adjusting for Special Items(1), second quarter 2023 adjusted operating profit was $27.3 million, compared to $32.1 million in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the impact of lower volumes within TriMas Packaging.
The Company reported second quarter 2023 net income of $11.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $19.9 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in second quarter 2022, and $4.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in first quarter 2023. Adjusting for Special Items(1), second quarter 2023 adjusted net income(2) was $17.5 million, compared to $21.8 million in second quarter 2022, primarily as a result of lower operating profit in second quarter 2023. Second quarter 2023 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) was $0.50, compared to $0.60 in the prior year period, and $0.30 in first quarter 2023.
"We delivered strong performance within our TriMas Specialty Products group, as we continued to leverage our previous manufacturing improvements, coupled with a robust U.S. industrial market and a renewed focus on locally manufactured sourcing," said Thomas Amato, TriMas President and Chief Executive Officer. "While we still have meaningful opportunities to improve within our TriMas Aerospace group, we are beginning to experience the positive effects of bringing supply, labor and production into better synchronization with the demand recovery within the aerospace end market. Given the actions taken by our dedicated TriMas Aerospace team members, we anticipate our performance will continue to improve, positioning us well for 2024."
"Within our TriMas Packaging group, we have experienced three sequential months of backlog improvement, which is typically a positive indicator of the beginning of a market recovery. While we are encouraged, order rates have not increased to the level assumed in our planning models earlier this year. We continue to believe the packaging market softness primarily relates to certain customers’ overstock positions, cautious purchasing behaviors and lingering consumer inflationary concerns. In response to these challenges, we have taken actions to streamline our manufacturing footprint, and accelerated purchasing and other cost savings initiatives to better position the TriMas Packaging group for 2024," Amato concluded.
Financial Position
During the first six months of 2023, the Company paid cash of $71.8 million for acquisitions and repurchased 451,882 shares of its outstanding common stock for $13.1 million. TriMas also paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share of TriMas Corporation stock on March 9, 2023, and May 11, 2023, as well as declared a $0.04 per share dividend to be payable on August 10, 2023.

TriMas ended second quarter 2023 with $41.9 million of cash on hand, $253.4 million of cash and available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, and a net leverage ratio of 2.6x as defined in the Company's credit agreement. The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet and remains committed to utilizing cash generated to invest in its businesses, manage debt levels, return capital to shareholders through both share buybacks and dividends, and make programmatic bolt-on acquisitions. TriMas reported total debt of $417.0 million and Net Debt(3) of $375.1 million as of June 30, 2023.
The Company reported net cash provided by operating activities of $16.5 million for second quarter 2023, compared to $22.0 million in second quarter 2022. As a result, the Company reported Free Cash Flow(4) of $11.0 million for second quarter 2023, compared to $15.5 million in second quarter 2022. Please see Appendix I for further details.
Second Quarter Segment Results
TriMas Packaging group's net sales for the second quarter were $117.3 million, a decrease of 20.9% compared to the year ago period, as sales from the recent acquisition were more than offset by lower market demand, as anticipated, primarily for dispensers and closures used in personal care, food and industrial applications. Second quarter operating profit and the related margin percentage declined, primarily as a result of lower sales levels and the related under-absorption of fixed costs. The Company continues to actively engage with its customers to better evaluate longer-term demand requirements and take appropriate actions to implement cost savings initiatives.
TriMas Aerospace group's net sales for the second quarter were $59.8 million, an increase of 26.2% compared to the year ago period, primarily driven by increased aerospace production demand and acquisition-related sales. Second quarter operating profit increased, while the related margin decreased slightly. Although showing sequential improvement compared to first quarter 2023, margins continue to be impacted by a temporary imbalance between supply and production due to the accelerated rate of demand recovery in the aerospace and defense end markets. In addition, the Company completed the acquisition of Weldmac Manufacturing Company, a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance, complex metal fabricated components and assemblies for the aerospace, defense and industrial end markets, during the second quarter.
TriMas Specialty Products group's net sales were $56.1 million, an increase of 33.7% compared to the year ago period, primarily due to higher demand for packaged gas steel cylinders used in construction and HVAC applications, as well as increased sales of stationary power generation and compressor units, as demand for locally-provided products has increased in certain U.S. industrial markets. Second quarter operating profit increased, and the related margin was at a record quarterly level of 21.6%, as a result of prior operational excellence actions, combined with a robust demand environment.
Outlook
As a result of what appears to be a more gradual demand recovery than originally modeled within the packaging end markets where TriMas participates, the Company is revising its full year 2023 outlook provided on February 23, 2023. The Company is now expecting to generate full year 2023 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) in the range of $1.80 to $1.95, based on revised consolidated sales growth of 5% to 10% compared to 2022. In addition, the Company continues to target its full year 2023 Free Cash Flow(4) to be greater than 100% of net income.
"While our second quarter adjusted EPS results were in line with expectations, the rate of demand recovery and orders in TriMas Packaging have not materialized to the levels our planning models were originally based upon. While we believe certain customers have progressed in working through overstocked positions, some are taking advantage of shorter lead times and maintaining reduced inventory levels, rather than opting for a larger pipeline fill. We will continue to take the appropriate steps within TriMas Packaging to optimize our cost structure, positioning us well to capitalize on operating leverage gains in 2024 and beyond," 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)

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 the United States and China; government and regulatory actions, including, without limitation, climate change legislation and other environmental regulations, as well as the impact of tariffs, quotas and surcharges; changes to fiscal and tax policies; intellectual property factors; uncertainties associated with our ability to meet customers’ and suppliers’ sustainability and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) goals and achieve our sustainability and ESG goals in alignment with our own announced targets; litigation; contingent liabilities relating to acquisition activities; interest rate volatility; our leverage; liabilities imposed by our debt instruments; labor disputes and shortages; the disruption of operations from catastrophic or extraordinary events, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts and public health crises, such as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic; the amount and timing of future dividends and/or share repurchases, which remain subject to Board approval and depend on market and other conditions; our future prospects; and other risks that are detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The risks described are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations or cash flows. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made herein are based on information currently available, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
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.
