Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Basis of Presentation

TriMas Corporation ("TriMas" or the "Company"), and its consolidated subsidiaries, designs, engineers and manufactures innovative products under leading brand names for customers primarily in the consumer products, aerospace & defense, and industrial markets.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from such estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty and volatility in the current economic environment due to input cost inflation, supply chain disruptions, and shortages in global markets for commodities, logistics and labor. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

  1. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires enhanced jurisdictional disclosures for income taxes paid and requires the use of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold.

Credit Agreement

In March 2025, the Company amended its existing credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") to extend the maturity date. The Company incurred fees and expenses of $1.3 million related to the amendment, all of which was capitalized as debt issuance costs. The Company also recorded $0.1 million of non-cash expense related to the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing fees.

Below is a summary of key terms under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025, compared to the key terms prior to the amendment (showing gross availability):

InstrumentAmount ($ in millions)Maturity Date
Credit Agreement (as amended)
Senior secured revolving credit facility$250.03/31/2030
Credit Agreement (prior to amending)
Senior secured revolving credit facility$300.03/29/2026

The Credit Agreement is subject to benchmark interest rates determined based on the currency denomination of borrowings, with British pound sterling borrowings subject to the Sterling Overnight Index Average, Euro borrowings to the Euro InterBank Offered Rate and U.S. dollar borrowings subject to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, each plus a spread that ranges from 1.375% to 2.00% based upon the leverage ratio, as defined, as of the most recent determination date. The Company's revolving credit facility allows for the issuance of letters of credit, not to exceed $40.0 million in aggregate.

The Credit Agreement also provides incremental revolving credit facility commitments in an amount not to exceed the greater of $200.0 million and an amount such that, after giving effect to such incremental commitments and the incurrence of any other indebtedness substantially simultaneously with the making of such commitments, the senior secured net leverage ratio, as defined, is no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. The terms and conditions of any incremental revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the existing credit facility.

At June 30, 2025, the Company had $28.6 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $215.1 million potentially available after giving effect to $6.3 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2024, the Company had $1.5 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $292.2 million potentially available after giving effect to $6.3 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. The Company's borrowing capacity was not reduced by leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025. After consideration of leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had $216.7 million of borrowing capacity available for general corporate purposes.

The debt under the Credit Agreement is an obligation of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the assets of such parties. Borrowings under the $125.0 million (equivalent) foreign currency sub limit of the $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a cross-guarantee amongst, and a pledge of the assets of, the foreign subsidiary borrowers that are a party to the agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains various negative and affirmative covenants and other requirements affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, including the ability, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, to incur debt, liens, mergers, investments, loans, advances, guarantee obligations, acquisitions, asset dispositions, sale-leaseback transactions, hedging agreements, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements and amendments to charters, bylaws, and other material documents. The terms of the Credit Agreement also require the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to meet certain restrictive financial covenants and ratios computed quarterly, including a maximum total net leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness plus outstanding amounts under any accounts receivable securitization facility, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA, as defined, over the sum of consolidated cash interest expense, as defined, and preferred dividends, as defined). At June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

  1. Derivative Instruments

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company uses cross-currency swap contracts to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated assets against future volatility in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. By doing so, the Company synthetically converts a portion of its U.S. dollar-based long-term debt into Euro-denominated long-term debt.

In June 2024, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement effective as of June 27, 2024, with a notional amount of $75.0 million and a contract period end date of October 15, 2027. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is to receive net interest payments at a fixed rate of approximately 1.43% of the notional amount. At inception, the cross-currency swap was designated as a net investment hedge.

In February 2024, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement effective as of April 15, 2024, with a notional amount of $75.0 million and a contract period end date of April 15, 2029. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is to receive net interest payments at a fixed rate of approximately 1.06% of the notional amount. At inception, the cross-currency swap was designated as a net investment hedge. At designation, the cross currency swap had an inception date non-zero fair value equal to a $4.9 million liability, which offset the inception date non-zero fair value of a $75.0 million foreign currency exchange forward contract entered into on the same date. The non-zero fair value of the cross currency swap was recognized in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of income during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

In February 2024, immediately prior to entering into the new cross-currency swap agreement, the Company voluntarily discontinued hedge accounting for its existing cross-currency swap agreement, de-designating the swap as a net investment hedge. The de-designated agreement had a notional amount of $75.0 million and a contract period end date of April 15, 2024. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received net interest payments at a fixed rate of approximately 2.4% of the notional amount. At contract settlement, the cross currency swap agreement had a fair value equal to a $3.8 million liability, which was offset by the settlement of the $75.0 million foreign currency exchange forward contract that ended on the same date, both of which were classified as an investing activity in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value carrying amount of the Company's derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recorded as follows (dollars in thousands):

Over the next 12 months, the Company doesnot expect to reclassify any pre-tax deferred amounts from AOCI into earnings.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

As of June 30, 2025, the Company was party to foreign currency exchange forward contracts to economically hedge changes in foreign currency rates with notional amounts of $128.2 million. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk associated with fluctuations in currency rates impacting cash flows related to certain of its receivables, payables and intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign exchange contracts primarily mitigate currency exposures between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and the Mexican peso, as well as between the Euro and British pound, and have various settlement dates through September 2025. These contracts are not designated as hedge instruments; therefore, gains and losses on these contracts are recognized each period directly into the consolidated statement of income.

The following table summarizes the effects of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments on the Company's consolidated statement of income (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value of Derivatives

The fair value of the Company's derivatives are estimated using an income approach based on valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single, discounted amount. Estimates of the fair value of the Company's cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts use observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves and forward currency exchange rates.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Asbestos

As of June 30, 2025, the Company was a party to 532 pending cases involving an aggregate of 4,984 claimants primarily alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos containing materials formerly used in gaskets (both encapsulated and otherwise) manufactured or distributed by its former Lamons division and certain other related subsidiaries for use primarily in the petrochemical, refining and exploration industries. The following chart summarizes the number of claims, number of claims filed, number of claims dismissed, number of claims settled, the average settlement amount per claim and the total defense costs, at the applicable date and for the applicable periods:

Claimspending atbeginning ofperiodClaims filedduringperiodClaimsdismissedduringperiodClaimssettledduringperiodClaimspending atend ofperiodAveragesettlementamount perclaim duringperiodTotal defensecosts duringperiod
Six Months Ended June 30, 20254,968155115244,984$9,979$795,000
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 20244,863269131334,968$20,083$1,750,000

In addition, the Company acquired various companies to distribute its products that had distributed gaskets of other manufacturers prior to acquisition. The Company believes that many of its pending cases relate to locations at which none of its gaskets were distributed or used.

The Company may be subjected to significant additional asbestos-related claims in the future, and will aggressively defend or reasonably resolve, as appropriate. The cost of settling cases in which product identification can be made may increase, and the Company may be subjected to further claims in respect of the former activities of its acquired gasket distributors. The cost of claims varies as claims may be initially made in some jurisdictions without specifying the amount sought or by simply stating the requisite or maximum permissible monetary relief, and may be amended to alter the amount sought. The large majority of claims do not specify the amount sought. Of the 4,984 claims pending at June 30, 2025,36 set forth specific amounts of damages (other than those stating the statutory minimum or maximum). At June 30, 2025, of the 36 claims that set forth specific amounts, there were no claims seeking more than $5 million for punitive damages. Below is a breakdown of the compensatory damages sought for those claims seeking specific amounts:

Compensatory
Range of damages sought (dollars in millions)$0.0 to $0.6$0.6 to $5.0$5.0+
Number of claims—531

Relatively few claims have reached the discovery stage and even fewer claims have gone past the discovery stage. Total settlement costs (exclusive of defense costs) for all such cases, some of which were filed over 30 years ago, have been $14 million. All relief sought in the asbestos cases is monetary in nature. Based on the settlements made to date and the number of claims dismissed or withdrawn for lack of product identification, the Company believes that the relief sought (when specified) does not bear a reasonable relationship to its potential liability.

The Company records a liability for asbestos-related claims, which includes both known and unknown claims, based on a study from the Company’s third-party actuary, the Company's review of the study, as well as the Company’s own review of asbestos claims and claim resolution activity.

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company commissioned its actuary to update the study, based on data as of May 31, 2024, which yielded a range of possible future liability of $31.0 million to $39.8 million, before consideration of any potential insurance recoveries. The Company did not believe any amount within the range of potential outcomes represented a better estimate than another given the many factors and assumptions inherent in the projections, and therefore recorded a pre-tax charge of $5.5 million to increase the liability estimate to $31.0 million, at the low-end of the range. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s total asbestos-related liability was $28.5 million and $29.7 million, respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s primary insurance, which covered approximately 40% of historical costs related to settlement and defense of asbestos litigation, expired in November 2018, upon which the Company became solely responsible for defense costs and indemnity payments. The Company is party to a coverage-in-place agreement (entered into in 2006) with its first level excess carriers regarding the coverage to be provided to the Company for asbestos-related claims. The coverage-in-place agreement makes asbestos defense costs and indemnity insurance coverage available to the Company that might otherwise be disputed by the carriers and provides a methodology for the administration of such expenses. Prior to the commencement of coverage under this agreement, the Company was solely responsible for defense costs and indemnity payments. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reached the threshold of qualified future settlements required to commence excess carrier insurance coverage under the coverage-in-place agreement. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in the process of transitioning the administration and settlement of asbestos defense costs and indemnity payments to the insurance carriers under the coverage-in-place agreement. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not recognized an asbestos-related insurance recovery asset corresponding to its asbestos-related liability. The Company will continue to reassess its estimate of insurance recoveries and corresponding accounting for any such recoveries as the facts and circumstances change.

Based upon the Company's experience to date, including the trend in annual defense and settlement costs incurred to date, and other available information (including the availability of excess insurance), the Company does not believe these cases will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Claims and Litigation

The Company is subject to other claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business, but does not believe that any such claim or litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental

The Company is responsible for environmental remediation at currently or previously owned facilities and waste sites, including sites defined under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, commonly referred to as “Superfund” for which the Company has been named a potential responsible party. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded no charges related to environmental remediation costs. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s total environmental remediation obligation was $3.3 million. The accrual is primarily based on environmental cost estimates provided by third parties and represents the best estimate of the Company’s proportionate share of costs to be incurred for site remediation efforts. Actual costs incurred resulting from the ultimate resolution of these uncertainties could exceed the amount accrued.

  1. Segment Information

The Company defines its segments consistent with how internally reported financial information is regularly reviewed by TriMas'President and Chief Executive Officer (chief operating decision maker) to analyze financial performance, make decisions, and allocate resources. TriMas reports its operations in three segments: Packaging, Aerospace and Specialty Products. Each of these segments has discrete financial information that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker uses segment adjusted operating profit when assessing segment performance, determining resource and capital allocation and developing overall strategic direction of the Company. The chief operating decision maker analyzes segment adjusted operating profit on a monthly basis by comparing actual results to forecasted and budgeted expectations to assess performance. Segment adjusted operating profit is also used in compensation related decision-making under certain employee incentive programs. Segment adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit excluding Special Items. Special Items include: realignment and severance costs, purchase accounting charges related to the step-up of inventory to fair value, and mergers, acquisitions, diligence and transaction costs.

  1. Equity Awards

Stock Options

The Company granted 900,000 stock option awards during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company estimated the grant-date fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.1%, expected volatility of 33.0%, annual dividend payment of $0.16, and an expected term of 6.5 years. Information related to stock options at June 30, 2025 is as follows:

Number of Stock OptionsWeighted Average Option PriceAverage Remaining Contractual Life (Years)Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2025—$—
Granted900,00041.11
Outstanding at June 30, 2025900,000$41.1110.0$—

As of June 30, 2025, there was $6.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that is expected to be recorded over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.

The Company recognized approximately $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 andno stock-based compensation expense related to stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company awarded the following restricted stock units ("RSUs") during the six months ended June 30, 2025:

Granted 457,504 RSUs to certain employees, which are subject only to a service condition and vest ratably overone, two, orthree years so long as the employee remains with the Company;

Granted 36,396 RSUs to its non-employee independent directors, which fully vestone year from date of grant so long as the director and/or Company does not terminate the director's service prior to the vesting date;

Issued 81 RSUs to certain employees related to dividend equivalent rights on existing equity awards; and

Issued 1,242 RSUs related to director fee deferrals as certain of the Company's directors elected to defer all or a portion of their director fees and to receive the amount in Company common stock at a future date.

During 2025, the Company also awarded 95,023 performance-based RSUs to certain Company key employees which vest three years from the grant date as long as the employee remains with the Company. These awards are initially earned 50% based upon the Company's achievement of an earnings per share compound annual growth rate ("EPS CAGR") metric and 50% based upon the Company's cash return on net assets ("Cash RONA") metric over a period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2027. The total EPS CAGR and Cash RONA performance-based RSUs initially earned shall be subject to modification based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of the common stock of a pre-defined industry peer-group, measured over the performance period. TSR is calculated as the Company's average closing stock price for the 20 trading days at the end of the performance period plus Company dividends, divided by the Company's average closing stock price for the 20 trading days prior to the start of the performance period. The Company estimates the grant-date fair value subject to a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model, using the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free rate of 4.00% and annualized volatility of 30.8%. Depending on the performance achieved for these two metrics, the amount of shares earned, if any, can vary for each metric from 0% of the target award to a maximum of 250% of the target.
