Insights
The reported growth in TriMas' Packaging and Aerospace segments during the fourth quarter indicates a strategic pivot towards sectors with higher demand, which could be a positive sign for investors. The sale of Arrow Engine suggests a divestment from less profitable or non-core segments, potentially streamlining operations and focusing on more lucrative areas. However, the decline in operating profit year-over-year, even after adjusting for non-recurring gains from property divestiture, may raise concerns about the company's ability to manage costs effectively amidst market challenges.
Investors should note the company's use of capital for acquisitions and share buybacks, which reflects a confidence in its long-term strategy but also warrants scrutiny on whether these actions will deliver the expected shareholder value. The net leverage ratio of 2.4x is within reasonable limits, suggesting a balanced approach to debt management. The forecast for 2024, with an expected increase in consolidated sales, could be encouraging, but it is essential to monitor how the company navigates the anticipated recovery in consumer spending and sustained demand in aerospace.
The reported increase in net sales for TriMas' Packaging and Aerospace groups is indicative of robust performance in specific sectors, likely reflecting a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions. The packaging industry, particularly in life sciences and personal care, is experiencing a surge due to increased health awareness and hygiene concerns. The aerospace sector's growth aligns with the broader industry trend of recovering demand post-pandemic.
However, the Specialty Products group's significant sales drop highlights the variability in industrial demand, which could be a result of broader economic factors affecting capital expenditure decisions. The company's proactive stance on cost management and operational improvements, such as restructuring and engaging in cost-saving actions, is a response to these market dynamics. The anticipated recovery in consumer goods and industrial markets in 2024, coupled with strong aerospace and defense demand, suggests potential for improved performance, but it will be critical to track how these projections align with actual market conditions.
TriMas' financial results reflect underlying economic currents, such as the softening demand in the Specialty Products businesses, which may be symptomatic of broader industrial reticence in the face of uncertain economic conditions. The company's strategic response, including the divestment from the oil and gas sector, aligns with a shift in economic sentiment towards more sustainable and resilient industries, such as aerospace and packaging for essential goods.
The company's capital allocation strategy, including returning capital to shareholders and investing in organic growth, suggests a balanced approach to creating shareholder value in the context of macroeconomic challenges. The projected 5% to 8% sales growth for 2024 reflects cautious optimism but must be balanced against the backdrop of an unpredictable global economic landscape, which includes factors such as fluctuating consumer spending patterns and potential supply chain disruptions.

-
Delivered an approximate
2.2% return of capital to shareholders through share buybacks and dividends in 2023
"As we concluded 2023, we were pleased by the ongoing upward trend in our order intake, sales and conversion within our TriMas Aerospace group, and also by our TriMas Packaging group's gains in order intake momentum," said Thomas Amato, TriMas President and Chief Executive Officer. "While this positive momentum in our two largest segments was encouraging, demand in our Specialty Products businesses softened well beyond our expectations, as customers postponed their capital expenditure purchases to rebalance inventory levels toward year end."
"Although we encountered a challenging macro demand environment in 2023, our intense focus on cost management and operational improvements establishes a promising foundation for 2024. We addressed many of the critical sub-supply constraints to meet heightened demand in TriMas Aerospace, and rationalized our manufacturing and distribution footprint in TriMas Packaging. Throughout the year, we also continued to invest in the capabilities essential for our future growth, prioritizing innovation, sustainable solutions and digital transformation."
"Looking ahead to 2024 and beyond, we believe that TriMas’ strong balance sheet and cash generation will consistently afford us opportunities to invest in organic growth, pursue bolt-on acquisitions, pay a dividend and repurchase shares. We are dedicated to delivering long-term value for our shareholders, and remain confident in the strength of our market positions and underlying businesses," concluded Amato.

Outlook
The Company expects TriMas' 2024 consolidated sales to increase
"After a year of proactively managing through demand weakness in the consumer goods and industrial markets within TriMas' Packaging group, we anticipate the beginning of a gradual recovery within both of these end markets in 2024, with consumer spending leading the way in the early part of the year. We also anticipate that demand in the aerospace and defense end market will continue to remain strong in 2024. As we start the year, we remain optimistic about our future prospects, and believe our strategy to deploy our cash generation to augment TriMas' core growth with acquisitions will continue to drive long-term value for our shareholders. We continue to plan to opportunistically repurchase our shares given our confidence in the outlook for our business and long-term strategy," commented Amato.
The above outlook includes the impact of all announced acquisitions. 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) Please see Appendix I for further details related to the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, including the reconciliation of diluted earnings per share (GAAP) to adjusted diluted earnings per share for full year 2024 outlook.

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 diluted earnings per share as net income (per GAAP), plus or minus the after-tax impact of Special Items(1), 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. |

These amounts relate to acquisitions announced as of February 29, 2024. The Company is unable to provide forward-looking estimates of future acquisitions, if any, that have not yet been consummated. |
|
(2) |
Effective first quarter 2024, the Company will be modifying the definitions of adjusted net income by adding back amortization of acquisition-related intangibles assets and non-cash compensation expense and adjusted earnings per share by adding back non-cash compensation expense. To provide historical information on a basis consistent with this modification, the Company has recast information for the quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2023 in Exhibit 99.2 of the Form 8-K filed today. |
|
(3) |
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. |
