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 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On March 16, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its Aerospace segment ("Aerospace"), a transaction entered into with an affiliate of Tinicum L.P., and funds managed by Blackstone, Inc. on November 4, 2025. Aerospace was sold for approximately $1,456.9 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The financial results of Aerospace were previously reported within the Company's Aerospace reportable segment, and are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the financial statements attached hereto.

  1. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"), which modernizes the accounting for software costs by removing references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. Under ASU 2025-06 an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-06 in the first quarter of 2026 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU 2025-05"), which provides a practical expedient that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged when developing forecasts for estimating expected credit losses. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose that it has elected to use the practical expedient and the election should be applied prospectively. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 in the first quarter of 2026 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued 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.

  1. Discontinued Operations

On March 16, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced sale of Aerospace to an affiliate of Tinicum L.P., and funds managed by Blackstone, Inc., pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of November 4, 2025 (the "Purchase Agreement"), for a purchase price of approximately $1,456.9 million, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement which the Company expects to be finalized during 2026.

The Company recognized net proceeds of $1,241.8 million, which represents the purchase price, less estimated tax payments of approximately $194.5 million, and transaction costs of $20.2 million.

The Company's liability for estimated tax payments is included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s net cash proceeds were invested in highly liquid instruments, including U.S. Treasury‑backed money market funds and cash deposits with high‑credit‑quality financial institutions designated as Globally Systemically Important Banks. These investments are available on a same‑day basis, earn interest at a rate of approximately 3.5%, and qualify as permitted investments under the Company’s credit agreement. The Company intends to maintain these investments until they are deployed for organic growth initiatives, strategically aligned acquisition opportunities, share repurchases, or a combination thereof.

The historical results for Aerospace are reported in the accompanying consolidated statement of income as a discontinued operation and the assets and liabilities have been retrospectively reclassified to assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

The Company has contract assets and contract liabilities primarily related to in-process tooling projects for long-term supply arrangements with a contractual guarantee for reimbursement by the customer. Contract assets primarily consist of capitalized costs related to customer-owned tooling contracts, wherein the Company has not yet met performance obligations. Contract liabilities include deferred tooling revenue, where the performance obligation was not met. The performance obligation is satisfied and cost of goods sold is recognized and released from the balance sheet when control of the tooling is transferred to the customer.

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows (dollars in thousands):

March 31, 2026December 31, 2025
Contract asset$5,020$8,010
Contract liabilities6,73011,610

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, $5.1 million of revenue was recognized that was recorded as a contract liability as of December 31, 2025. The remainder of the change in the contract liability balance was driven by additional deferrals, primarily from new billings, partially offset by a decrease in the balance resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and revenue recognized on current year deferrals.

Senior Notes

In March 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due April 15, 2029, ("Senior Notes") at par value in a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"). The Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15. The payment of principal and interest is jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Senior Notes arepari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Beginning April 15, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at par (100% of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

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 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 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 in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Credit Agreement consists of a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which permits borrowings denominated in specific foreign currencies, subject to a $125.0 million sub limit, maturing on March 31, 2030.

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 March 31, 2026, the Company hadno amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $243.8 million available after giving effect to $6.2 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2025, the Company had $72.8 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $171.2 million available after giving effect to $6.0 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. After consideration of leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement, as of March 31, 2026, the Company had $190.1 million of borrowing capacity available for general corporate purposes. The Company's borrowing capacity was not reduced by leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025.

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). In December 2025 and March 2026, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to update certain definitions used in ratio and indebtedness calculations due to the sale of the Aerospace segment. At March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

Other Revolving Loan Facility

In May 2021, the Company, through one of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, entered into a revolving loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $4 million. The facility is guaranteed by TriMas Corporation. There wereno borrowings outstanding on this loan facility as of March 31, 2026, or December 31, 2025.

  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.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2026, the Company was party to foreign currency exchange forward contracts to economically hedge changes in foreign currency rates with notional amounts of $108.3 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 Euro and British pound, U.S. dollar and Mexican peso, U.S. dollar and Chinese yuan, as well as between the Brazilian Real and the British pound, and have various settlement dates through June 2026. 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.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company was a party to 627 pending cases involving an aggregate of 5,143 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:

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 20254,968302157335,080$18,091$1,580,000

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 5,143 claims pending at March 31, 2026,38 set forth specific amounts of damages (other than those stating the statutory minimum or maximum). At March 31, 2026, of the 38 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—632

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 $14.4 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 2025, the Company commissioned its actuary to update the asbestos study based on data as of July 31, 2025, which yielded a range of possible future liability of $36.6 million to $48.9 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 $8.0 million to increase the liability estimate to $36.6 million, at the low end of the range. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company’s total asbestos-related liability was $35.1 million and $35.5 million, respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. It is reasonably possible that a change in the estimate could occur in the near term.

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 (CIP) 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 CIP 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 2025, the Company reached the threshold of qualified future settlements required to commence excess carrier insurance coverage under the CIP agreement and began transitioning the administration and settlement of asbestos defense costs and indemnity payments to the insurance carriers. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company reassessed the facts and circumstances surrounding the CIP agreement with the consortium of insurance companies and deemed the realization of the claim for loss recovery probable and reasonably estimable and recognized an insurance recovery asset of $35.8 million, which was commensurate with the assumptions used to calculate the asbestos liability. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company's total insurance recovery asset was $34.3 million and $34.7 million. The Company will continue to reassess its estimate of insurance recoveries and corresponding accounting for any such recoveries as the facts and circumstances change.

Changes in the carrying amount of the asbestos liability and insurance recovery asset for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

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 three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, the Company recorded no charges related to environmental remediation costs. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company’s total environmental remediation obligation was $9.3 million and $9.4 million, respectively, which is primarily recorded within other long-term liabilities within the accompanying balance sheet. 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 intwo segments: Packaging 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 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 operating profit on a monthly basis by comparing actual results to forecasted and budgeted expectations to assess performance.

See below for more information regarding the types of products and services provided within each reportable segment:

Restricted Stock Units

The Company awarded the following restricted stock units ("RSUs") during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Granted 82,145 RSUs to certain employees, which are subject only to a service condition and vest ratably overtwo orthree years so long as the employee remains with the Company;

Granted 22,824 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; and

Issued 10 RSUs to certain employees related to dividend equivalent rights on existing equity awards.

During 2026, the Company also awarded 39,379 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 ("EPS") metric and 50% based upon the Company's return on invested capital ("ROIC") metric over a period beginning January 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2028. The total EPS and ROIC 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 3.74% and annualized volatility of 29.5%. 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 220% of the target.

The following disclosures related to restricted stock units include both continuing and discontinued operations.

Information related to RSUs at March 31, 2026 is as follows:
