Reaffirms Full Year 2024 Guidance
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%, andTriMas 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
"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.

Outlook
The Company reaffirms its full year 2024 outlook provided on
"As we begin the second quarter, we anticipate a continued gradual recovery in the consumer goods and industrial markets served by
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)

TriMas will host its first quarter 2024 earnings conference call today,
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; 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 tensions between
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. |
