TriMas (NASDAQ:TRS) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"We finished 2025 with a solid performance at the upper end of our earnings per share guidance range, supported by continued strong top-line growth and disciplined execution across our businesses," said Thomas Snyder, TriMas President and Chief Executive Officer. "Since stepping into the CEO role last June, my focus has been on building momentum and positioning TriMas for its next chapter. Our previously announced Aerospace transaction continues to progress as planned, with completion expected in mid-to-late March. In parallel, we are realigning TriMas for the future, streamlining our operating structure, executing cost-out initiatives and creating a more agile, customer-centric organization. The proceeds of the Aerospace divestiture will enable us to invest in our business, expand further into attractive packaging and life sciences opportunities, accelerate value creation and deliver compelling long-term returns for our shareholders."

Total Company Results (Before Consideration of Discontinued Operations)

TriMas reported full year 2025 total company net sales of $1,042.2 million, up 12.7% from 2024, with growth in the Packaging and Aerospace groups. Operating profit increased to $108.3 million, compared to $47.2 million in 2024. Adjusting for Special Items⁽¹⁾, operating profit was $106.7 million, a 28.8% increase over $82.8 million in the prior year. TriMas total company full year 2025 net income was $120.1 million, or $2.95 per diluted share, compared to $24.3 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in 2024. Total company 2025 adjusted net income⁽²⁾ was $85.3 million, up from $67.7 million in 2024. As a result, adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽²⁾ increased 26.7% to $2.09, compared to $1.65 in the prior year, driven primarily by higher sales levels and continued operational improvement initiatives.

For fourth quarter 2025, total company net sales were $256.5 million, up 12.5% from $228.1 million in fourth quarter 2024. Fourth quarter 2025 operating profit was $42.8 million, compared to $8.6 million in fourth quarter 2024.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽²⁾ was $0.40, compared to $0.43 in fourth quarter 2024, primarily reflecting the timing and levels of incentive compensation between periods.

TriMas Aerospace Divestiture Update and Discontinued Operations

The previously announced sale of TriMas Aerospace (the "Transaction") to an affiliate of Tinicum L.P. and funds managed by Blackstone under the definitive agreement entered into on November 4, 2025, remains on track for completion. TriMas Aerospace is expected to be sold for approximately $1.45 billion in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, resulting in estimated net after-tax proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion. The Company currently expects to use the proceeds to support organic growth investments, pursue strategically aligned acquisition opportunities and repurchase shares. The Company also plans to repay the borrowings outstanding on its revolving credit facility resulting from the recent share repurchase activity and hold the remaining proceeds in interest‑bearing accounts until deployed.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company began reporting the quarterly and full year results of TriMas Aerospace, previously included in the Aerospace segment, as Discontinued Operations. In addition, at closing, the parties will enter into a customary transition services agreement covering certain support services. Following completion of the Transaction, TriMas will operate in two segments: Packaging, representing the TriMas Packaging business, and the Specialty Products segment, which includes Norris Cylinder.

To provide historical information on a basis that reflects the planned sale of TriMas Aerospace, the Company has recast certain historical results, included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Form 8-K being filed today.

Results from Continuing Operations

For full year 2025, TriMas reported net sales from continuing operations of $645.7 million, an increase of 2.4% compared to 2024, as sales growth in the Packaging group was partially offset by a 7.0% decline in Specialty Products due to the Arrow Engine sale. Full year 2025 income from continuing operations was $72.3 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $2.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in 2024. Adjusting for Special Items⁽¹⁾, full year 2025 adjusted income⁽²⁾ from continuing operations was $22.4 million, compared to $31.6 million in 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽²⁾ from continuing operations was $0.55, compared to $0.77 in the prior year, primarily reflecting the differences in timing and levels of incentive compensation between periods, as well as the lower operating profit related to the sale of Arrow Engine in early 2025.

For fourth quarter 2025, TriMas reported fourth quarter 2025 net sales from continuing operations of $155.5 million, an increase of 3.8% over $149.7 million in fourth quarter 2024, driven by continued growth in the Packaging group. TriMas reported income from continuing operations of $72.9 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $3.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in fourth quarter 2024. Adjusting for Special Items⁽¹⁾, adjusted income⁽²⁾ from continuing operations was $1.6 million, compared to $7.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽²⁾ from continuing operations was $0.04, compared to $0.17 in fourth quarter 2024.

Share Repurchases

During 2025, TriMas repurchased 3,124,866 shares of its outstanding common stock for $103.3 million, with more than three million of these shares repurchased since the announcement of the Aerospace divestiture. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $48.9 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization and approximately 37.6 million shares outstanding.

Today, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has increased its common stock share repurchase authorization to a total of up to $150 million, adding to the $48.9 million remaining under the previous authorization. The Board will continue to assess adding to the Company's existing share repurchase authorization.

Financial Position

The Company generated $41.5 million of net cash provided by operating activities in fourth quarter 2025, compared to $27.1 million in fourth quarter 2024. As a result, total company Free Cash Flow⁽³⁾ for the quarter was $43.3 million, up from $16.8 million in fourth quarter 2024. On a full year basis, TriMas reported net cash provided by operating activities of $117.5 million, compared to $63.8 million for 2024. As a result, total company full year Free Cash Flow⁽³⁾ was $87.2 million, an increase of 197.6% from $29.3 million in 2024, driven by improved operating performance and continued working capital discipline. Please see Appendix I for further details.

TriMas ended 2025 with $30.0 million of cash on hand, $205.2 million of cash and available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, and a net leverage ratio of 2.7x as defined in its credit agreement. As of December 31, 2025, TriMas reported total debt of $469.2 million and Net Debt⁽⁴⁾ of $439.2 million, including borrowings of $72.8 million under its revolving credit facility used primarily to fund share repurchases. As noted above, the Company expects to receive approximately $1.2 billion in net after‑tax proceeds upon completion of the sale of TriMas Aerospace, which will significantly enhance liquidity and financial flexibility.

Fourth Quarter Segment Results

TriMas Packaging group reported fourth quarter net sales of $129.3 million, a 5.0% increase compared to fourth quarter 2024. Growth was primarily driven by higher demand for products for industrial and life science markets, and the benefit of favorable foreign currency exchange, partially offset by continued softer demand for closures and flexible packaging products used in food and beverage applications. Fourth quarter operating profit and margins declined year-over-year, primarily as a result of a less favorable sales mix.

TriMas' Specialty Products group reported fourth quarter net sales of $26.2 million, a slight decline of 1.4% compared to fourth quarter 2024, as a 13.8% year-over-year sales increase at Norris Cylinder was more than offset by the loss of sales related to the Arrow Engine divestiture in January 2025. Fourth quarter operating profit and margins improved over the prior year period, driven by the benefit of prior restructuring actions at Norris Cylinder, which helped offset the profit loss from the Arrow Engine sale.

TriMas Aerospace group, which is now reported in Discontinued Operations, generated fourth quarter net sales of $101.0 million, an increase of 28.9% compared to fourth quarter 2024. This strong growth was primarily driven by higher industry build rates, new contract awards, commercial actions and the first‑quarter 2025 acquisition of TriMas Aerospace Germany (TAG). Fourth quarter operating profit and margins increased significantly over the prior year period, driven by improved sales conversion, commercial actions and operational excellence initiatives, even with incremental allocations related to the pending sale of the business.

Realignment and Cost-Out Initiatives

TriMas executed a comprehensive organizational realignment to streamline operations, strengthen customer responsiveness and drive sustainable cost savings. The realignment integrates select corporate and business functions to simplify the structure, eliminates duplication and improves operational efficiency. These initiatives are expected to generate more than $10 million in savings in 2026 and approximately $15 million on an annualized basis, with additional cost-reduction initiatives underway.

As part of this effort, TriMas Packaging is restructuring its commercial and operational model to eliminate silos, accelerate decision‑making, and deliver more integrated customer solutions. The changes include unifying sales teams, standardizing operations across facilities and reducing management layers to improve speed, accountability and innovation. Key initiatives include brand unification, expanded operational excellence programs, technology implementations and manufacturing footprint optimization. Collectively, these actions are expected to strengthen TriMas' operating model, enhance customer satisfaction and support sustainable long‑term value creation.

2026 Outlook

For 2026, the Company expects sales growth of 3% to 6% year-over-year across the combined Packaging and Specialty Products businesses. In addition, TriMas anticipates more than 300 basis points of adjusted operating profit margin improvement, driven by the cost reduction and organizational realignment initiatives underway. Additional assumptions and modeling considerations will be discussed on the earnings call later this morning.

"As we prepare to complete the sale of TriMas Aerospace, we are excited about the future of TriMas as a more focused and agile company. This transaction allows us to intensify our attention on our Packaging and Specialty Products businesses, both of which are well-positioned for continued growth and operational improvement. Our realignment and cost‑out initiatives are already creating a stronger and more efficient foundation, and we expect these actions to drive meaningful margin expansion as we progress through 2026. We also look forward to deploying the Aerospace sale proceeds in ways that enhance long‑term value for our shareholders, employees and customers. Consistent with this approach, we expect to use the proceeds to support organic growth investments, pursue strategically aligned acquisition opportunities and repurchase shares," continued Snyder.

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.
