Reaffirms Full Year 2024 Guidance
TriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced financial results for the
first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
TriMas First Quarter
Highlights
- Achieved quarterly net sales growth of 5.4% to $227.1
million
- Increased net sales within TriMas Packaging, its largest
segment, by 9.3%, and TriMas Aerospace by 34.7%
- Diluted EPS was in line with the prior year quarter, and
adjusted diluted EPS(2) increased 5.7% to $0.37
- Repurchased 540,037 shares of common stock, reducing net shares
outstanding by approximately 1.0%
"Our overall first quarter results came in as anticipated, with
pockets of demand strength as certain of our end markets continued
to recover," said Thomas Amato, TriMas President and Chief
Executive Officer. "We are encouraged by the ongoing upward trend
in our order intake, sales and conversion rates within our TriMas
Packaging and Aerospace groups, our two largest segments. While
this positive momentum drove our results for the quarter, market
demand in our Specialty Products businesses remained soft, as
customers continued working through higher inventory levels built
up in 2023."
"Last year, we navigated through cyclical demand troughs in
certain of our packaging end markets and disruptions in sub-supply
and labor availability in our Aerospace group, which we believe are
largely behind us as we progress through 2024. Therefore, despite a
soft start to the year in our Specialty Products group, we remain
optimistic about our 2024 performance, as well as our future
prospects. We are dedicated to delivering long-term value for our
shareholders, and remain confident in the strength of our market
positions, underlying businesses and balance sheet to deliver this
outcome," concluded Amato.
First Quarter 2024
TriMas reported first quarter 2024 net sales of $227.1 million,
an increase of 5.4% compared to $215.5 million in first quarter
2023, as organic growth in certain packaging and aerospace product
lines, as well as acquisition-related sales, more than offset lower
market demand for products used in certain industrial, and oil and
gas applications. The Company reported operating profit of $12.4
million in first quarter 2024, an increase of 24.5% compared to
$10.0 million in first quarter 2023. Adjusting for Special
Items(1), first quarter 2024 adjusted operating profit was $16.3
million, an increase of 4.7% compared to $15.5 million in the prior
year period, as the impact of higher sales volumes, recent
acquisitions and operational improvements more than offset the
impact of lower absorption within Specialty Products and higher
non-cash stock compensation.
The Company reported first quarter 2024 net income of $5.1
million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $4.9 million, or
$0.12 per diluted share, in first quarter 2023. Adjusting for
Special Items(1), first quarter 2024 adjusted net income(2) was
$15.1 million, an increase of 3.2% compared to $14.6 million in
first quarter 2023, primarily as a result of higher sales and
operating profit in first quarter 2024. First quarter 2024 adjusted
diluted earnings per share(2) was $0.37, an increase of 5.7%
compared to $0.35 in the prior year period, as higher operating
profit more than offset the impact of higher interest and tax
expenses in the quarter.
Financial Position
During the first three months of 2024, the Company repurchased
540,037 shares of its outstanding common stock for $13.3 million,
further reducing net shares outstanding by approximately 1.0%. The
Company's rate of share repurchasing increased in the first quarter
of 2024, as compared to the prior year quarter, given what the
Company believes to be a dislocation in value. As of March 31,
2024, the Company had $73.6 million remaining under the repurchase
authorization. TriMas also paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04
per share of TriMas Corporation stock in first quarter 2024, as
well as declared a $0.04 per share dividend to be payable on May
14, 2024.
TriMas ended first quarter 2024 with $30.5 million of cash on
hand, $257.4 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. As of March 31, 2024,
TriMas reported total debt of $424.9 million and Net Debt(3) of
$394.5 million. The Company continues to maintain a strong balance
sheet and remains committed to its capital allocation strategy of
investing in its businesses, returning capital to shareholders
through both share buybacks and dividends, and augmenting organic
growth through programmatic bolt-on acquisitions.
The Company reported net cash used for operating activities of
$3.7 million for first quarter 2024, compared to net cash provided
by operating activities of $9.7 million in first quarter 2023. As a
result, the Company reported a Free Cash Flow(4) use of $14.2
million for first quarter 2024, compared to a use of $3.1 million
in first quarter 2023. Please see Appendix I for further
details.
First Quarter Segment
Results
TriMas Packaging group's net sales for the first quarter were
$127.0 million, an increase of 9.3% compared to the year ago
period, as organic growth within the personal care, beauty and
industrial end markets, and sales from a recent acquisition, more
than offset the softer demand levels in certain beverage-related
applications. First quarter operating profit and the related margin
percentage improved, as higher sales and prior structural cost
reductions more than offset the impact of the allocation of certain
information technology costs to the group. The Company continues to
actively engage with its customers to confirm longer-term demand
requirements as order intake continues to build momentum.
TriMas Aerospace group's net sales for the first quarter were
$67.3 million, an increase of 34.7% compared to the year ago
period, primarily driven by increased aerospace production demand,
reduced production constraints and acquisition-related sales. First
quarter operating profit increased, and the related margin
percentage expanded approximately 770 basis points, primarily due
to operational excellence initiatives and higher conversion rates.
The Company remains focused on continuing to invest in operational
efficiencies and adding capacity in certain operations, through
both equipment and skilled labor, to further enhance conversion on
anticipated future higher demand.
TriMas Specialty Products group's net sales were $32.7 million,
a decrease of 33.5% compared to the year ago period. This decline
was greater than expected as most industrial customers continued to
rebalance inventories as a result of higher ordering rates during
2023. First quarter operating profit and the related margin
percentage decreased, as a result of the lower sales levels and the
related lower absorption of costs. In addition, as previously
disclosed, the Company has initiated a sale process for its Arrow
Engine business, which when successfully completed, would
facilitate an exit of its presence in the oil and gas end
market.
Outlook
The Company reaffirms its full year 2024 outlook provided on
February 29, 2024. The Company expects full year 2024 adjusted
diluted earnings per share(2) to be between $1.95 to $2.15 per
share.
"As we begin the second quarter, we anticipate a continued
gradual recovery in the consumer goods and industrial markets
served by TriMas' Packaging group. We also expect that demand in
the aerospace and defense end market will continue to remain robust
through 2024. The anticipated better than originally planned
performance within our TriMas Packaging and TriMas Aerospace groups
is expected to overcome any softer demand within the Specialty
Products businesses for the year," commented Amato.
The above outlook includes the impact of all announced
acquisitions. As previously communicated, effective as of the first
quarter of 2024, the Company is adding back non-cash compensation
expense to its adjusted diluted earnings per share calculation. The
outlook provided assumes no detrimental impact related to input
costs or end market demand associated with escalating global
conflicts. All of the above amounts considered as 2024 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)

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.trimas.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 net income
(and on a per diluted share basis, adjusted diluted earnings per
share) as net income (per GAAP), plus or minus the after-tax impact
of Special Items(1), plus the after-tax impacts of non-cash
acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and non-cash
compensation expense. While the acquisition-related intangible
assets aid in the Company’s revenue generation, the Company adjusts
for the non-cash amortization expense and non-cash compensation
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.

adjustments is calculated on an item-by-item basis, utilizing the
statutory income tax rate in the jurisdiction where the adjustments
occurred. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and
2023, the income tax effect on the cumulative net income
adjustments varied from the tax rate inherent in the Company's
reported GAAP results, primarily as a result of certain discrete
items that occurred during the period for GAAP reporting
purposes.

not yet been consummated.
(2)
The Company is unable to provide
forward-looking estimates of Special Items without unreasonable
effort, due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of
predicting the occurrence and the financial impact of such items
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.
