BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TriMas Corporation (NYSE: TRS) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company reported quarterly net sales from continuing operations of $208.6 million, a decrease of 26.2% from the second quarter of 2008. Second quarter 2009 income from continuing operations was $9.3 million, a 3.9% decrease from the prior year second quarter. The Company reported second quarter 2009 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.28, in comparison to $0.29 during the second quarter of 2008, including a ($0.04) per diluted share impact of severance and business restructuring costs in both periods and identified as "Special Items,"(1) and a $0.22 per diluted share gain on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter 2009. The Company reduced total indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under its receivables securitization facility, by $37.8 million compared to March 31, 2009 and by $102.0 million compared to June 30, 2008.
Second Quarter Business Highlights
During the second quarter of 2009, TriMas:
-- Generated positive cash flow and reduced inventory levels compared to
the prior quarter end in all business segments.
-- Grew specialty dispensing product sales at Rieke Packaging and titanium
screw sales at Monogram Aerospace, increasing content on certain
aircraft.
-- Opened new Lamons Sales and Service Centers in Rotterdam, The
Netherlands, and Salt Lake City, Utah, to enhance service to key global
customers.
-- Completed integration of Cequent's Towing, Trailer and Electrical
Products businesses, including a consolidated ERP system, cross- trained
customer service team and centralized distribution center.
-- Realigned its operating companies within five business segments as a
result of recent management reporting and business consolidation
changes.
"Despite the challenging market conditions across the majority of our end markets, I am pleased with the execution of our key initiatives during the second quarter," said David Wathen, TriMas President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our free cash flow to income from continuing operations conversion rate was over 200%, driven by considerable reductions in working capital. All of our business segments were cash flow positive during the quarter and we reduced total debt by over $100 million during the past year."
Wathen continued, "While we aggressively implement our cost reduction and productivity improvement initiatives across the Company, we are also allocating some resources to key growth initiatives aimed at expanding end markets and geographies. We remain focused on using our strong brands, talented teams and broad product portfolio to gain market share during this down market. These initiatives will enhance our position for the balance of 2009 and beyond."
"As we move forward over the remainder of 2009, we have not planned for any improvements in the end markets we serve, although we have seen some stabilization at these weak levels. We believe our 2009 sales levels will be down 20% to 25% in comparison to 2008, although we are expanding our efforts to drive new sales opportunities for the future. We remain focused on cash flow and available liquidity during these uncertain times, and are pleased to have again exceeded our forecast on both during the quarter. We are committed to maintaining adequate cushion on our bank covenants, delevering TriMas and ensuring adequate liquidity for our future endeavors," Wathen concluded.
Second Quarter Financial Results - From Continuing Operations
-- TriMas reported second quarter net sales of $208.6 million, a decrease
of 26.2% in comparison to $282.8 million in the second quarter 2008.
Sales in all five segments declined in comparison to the prior year
second quarter, primarily due to reductions in volume as a result of
continued weak global economic activity and reduced consumer
discretionary spending. Net sales were also negatively impacted by
approximately $6.7 million due to currency exchange, as reported results
in U.S. dollars were impacted by weaker foreign currencies.
-- The Company reported operating profit of $15.6 million for the second
quarter 2009, a decrease of 48.5% in comparison to operating profit of
$30.3 million in the second quarter 2008.
-- Adjusted EBITDA(2) for the second quarter 2009 decreased 3.2% to $38.1
million, as compared to $39.4 million in the second quarter 2008.
Excluding the pre-tax impact of Special Items related to severance and
business restructuring charges and the gain on extinguishment of debt,
second quarter 2009 Adjusted EBITDA would have been $26.8 million,
compared to $41.6 million during the second quarter of 2008.
-- Income from continuing operations for the second quarter 2009 decreased
3.9% to $9.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to income
from continuing operations of $9.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share,
in the second quarter 2008. These results include the after-tax impacts
of Special Items of $1.3 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, and gain
on extinguishment of debt of $7.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share,
in the second quarter of 2009 and the after-tax impact of Special Items
of $1.4 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, in the second quarter of
2008.
-- Free Cash Flow(2) for second quarter 2009 was $23.3 million, driven by
improvements in net working capital resulting from reduced inventory
levels. All five business segments generated positive free cash flow
during second quarter 2009.
-- The Company continued to focus on its Profit Improvement Plan (PIP) to
achieve $30 million in cost savings during 2009. TriMas is on plan to
achieve these savings in 2009 and continues to pursue additional fixed
and variable cost saving actions and productivity initiatives. TriMas
realized approximately $8 million in cost reductions and incurred
approximately $2 million in charges related to its PIP during the second
quarter of 2009.
Financial Position
TriMas ended the quarter with cash of $5.4 million and $147.1 million of aggregate availability under its revolving credit and receivables securitization facilities. The Company reduced total indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under its receivables securitization facility, by $37.8 million during second quarter 2009, and by $102.0 million as compared to June 30, 2008. TriMas ended the quarter with debt of $537.4 million and funding under its receivables securitization facility of $10.0 million, and reported total indebtedness of $547.4 million. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company retired approximately $31.4 million face value of the Company's senior subordinated notes in open market transactions for approximately $19.1 million.
The Company does not have any significant debt maturities under its credit agreement or subordinated notes until 2012. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
Business Segment Results - From Continuing Operations
The Company realigned its operating companies within five business segments as a result of recent management reporting and business consolidation changes. Following this realignment, the Company reports the following five segments: Packaging, Energy, Aerospace & Defense, Engineered Components and Cequent. All prior year information and comparisons have been restated to reflect this change.
Packaging - (Consists of Rieke Corporation including its foreign subsidiaries of Englass, Rieke Germany and Rieke Italia; 2008 Revenue $161.3 million)
Sales for the second quarter decreased 18.8% compared to the year ago period, due primarily to a decline in industrial closure product sales resulting from the overall economic slowdown, partially offset by an increase in specialty dispensing product sales and other new product introductions. Sales were also negatively impacted by the unfavorable effects of currency exchange. Operating profit for the quarter decreased due to the decline in industrial product sales and the unfavorable effects of currency exchange, which were partially offset by lower material costs and reduced selling, general and administrative costs associated with the Company's cost reduction plans. Operating profit as a percentage of sales improved 280 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2008. The Company continues to diversify its product offering by developing specialty dispensing product applications for growing end markets, including pharmaceutical, personal care and food/beverage markets, and expanding geographically to generate long-term growth.
Energy - (Consists of Arrow Engine and Lamons Gasket; 2008 Revenue $213.8 million)
Second quarter sales decreased 34.2% compared to the year ago period due to reduced demand for engines and other well-site content, resulting from a reduction in drilling activity and the deferred completion of previously drilled wells in North America and lower sales of specialty gaskets and related fastening hardware, as a result of lower levels of turn-around activity at petrochemical refineries and reduced demand from the chemical industry. Operating profit for the quarter decreased as a result of lower sales volumes and related lower absorption of fixed costs, partially offset by reductions in discretionary spending. The Company continues to launch new well-site products to complement its engine business, while continuing to expand its sales and service branch network for the specialty gasket business.
Aerospace & Defense - (Consists of Monogram Aerospace Fasteners and NI Industries; 2008 Revenue $95.3 million)
Sales for the second quarter decreased 15.6% compared to the year ago period due primarily to lower blind-bolt fastener sales resulting from program delays at commercial airframe manufacturers and inventory reductions at distribution customers, partially offset by sales of new products which increased the Company's content on certain aircraft. Sales in the defense business were also lower compared to the year ago period. Operating profit for the quarter decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by a more favorable product sales mix and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating profit as a percentage of sales improved 250 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2008. The Company continues to develop and market highly-engineered products for the aerospace market.
Engineered Components - (Consists of DEW Technologies, Hi-Vol Products, KEO Cutters, Norris Cylinder and Richards Micro-Tool; 2008 Revenue $126.5 million)
Second quarter sales declined 54.6% compared to the year ago period due to demand declines in the Company's industrial cylinder, precision cutting tools, specialty fittings and medical device businesses, primarily as a result of the current economic downturn. Operating profit for the quarter decreased due to lower sales volumes and lower absorption of fixed costs, which were partially offset by reduced selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company continues to develop specialty products for growing end markets such as medical and expand its international sales efforts.
Cequent - (Consists of Cequent Performance Products, Cequent Consumer Products and Cequent Australia/Asia Pacific; 2008 Revenue $424.4 million)
Sales decreased 19.7% for the second quarter compared to the year ago period. The Company continued to experience weak consumer demand for heavy-duty towing, trailer and electrical products, as a result of the uncertain economic conditions and reductions in consumer discretionary spending, and the unfavorable effects of currency exchange, partially offset by a slight increase in sales to the retail channel. Operating profit for the quarter declined as a result of lower sales volumes, unfavorable foreign currency exchange and lower absorption of fixed costs, partially offset by cost reductions implemented as part of the Company's Profit Improvement Plan. The segment was also negatively impacted by $2.1 million in costs associated with the closure of its Mosinee, Wisconsin manufacturing facility and other business restructuring costs. The Company continues to aggressively reduce fixed costs, decrease working capital and leverage strong brand positions for increased market share.

(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.
(2)The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA from continuing
operations, plus Special Items and net proceeds from sale of businesses,
less cash paid for interest, taxes and Special Items, capital
expenditures, changes in operating working capital and non-cash (gains)
losses on debt extinguishment. As detailed in Appendix I, for purposes of
determining Free Cash Flow, Special Items, net, include those one- time
costs, expenses and other charges incurred on a cash basis that are
included in the determination of net income (loss) under GAAP and are not
added back to net income (loss) in determining Adjusted EBITDA, but that
management would consider important in evaluating the quality of the
Company's Free Cash Flow, as defined.
