BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Michigan, October 28, 2025 - TriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company reported third quarter 2025 net income of $9.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $2.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in third quarter 2024. Adjusting for Special Items(1), third quarter 2025 adjusted net income(2) was $25.1 million, compared to $17.7 million in third quarter 2024. Third quarter 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) was $0.61, an increase of 41.9% compared to $0.43 in the prior year period.

TriMas reported third quarter 2025 net sales of $269.3 million, a 17.4% increase compared to $229.4 million in third quarter 2024, with growth across all three business segments, led by continued strong performance in Aerospace. The Company reported operating profit of $16.6 million in third quarter 2025, compared to $8.3 million in third quarter 2024. Adjusting for Special Items(1), third quarter 2025 adjusted operating profit was $30.3 million, a 33.9% increase compared to $22.7 million in the prior year period, driven by stronger sales and the successful execution of commercial and operational improvement initiatives within TriMas Aerospace.

“We delivered another strong quarter, led by robust performance in our Aerospace group and top-line growth across all three of our businesses," said Thomas Snyder, TriMas President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we close out the year and lay the groundwork for the future, we remain committed to operational excellence and disciplined commercial execution to drive sustained growth that will deliver long-term value for our stakeholders. Given our strong performance to date, we are raising our full-year 2025 earnings outlook. Looking ahead, we remain confident in the growth potential of our two largest segments, Aerospace and Packaging, and are encouraged by the ongoing recovery in our Specialty Products business.”

The Company reported net cash provided by operating activities of $36.5 million for third quarter 2025, compared to $22.0 million in third quarter 2024, driven by improved performance and continued working capital management. As a result, the Company reported Free Cash Flow(3) of $26.4 million for third quarter 2025, compared to $15.4 million in third quarter 2024. On a year-to-date basis, the Company reported net cash provided by operating activities of $75.9 million through third quarter 2025, compared to $36.7 million through third quarter 2024. As a result, the Company reported year-to-date Free Cash Flow(3) of $43.9 million for third quarter 2025, compared to $12.6 million for third quarter 2024.

TriMas ended third quarter 2025 with $33.6 million of cash on hand, $270.7 million of cash and available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, and a net leverage ratio of 2.3x as defined in the Company's credit agreement. As of September 30, 2025, TriMas reported total debt of $407.1 million and Net Debt(4) of $373.4 million. With a solid balance sheet and no near-term debt maturities, the Company remains committed to its capital allocation priorities of investing in business growth and consistently returning capital to shareholders.

TriMas Packaging group's net sales for the third quarter were $135.7 million, an increase of 4.2% compared to third quarter 2024, primarily driven by growth in beauty and personal care dispensers and the impact of favorable currency exchange, partially offset by softer demand for closures and flexible packaging products for food and beverage applications. Third quarter operating profit and margin declined slightly, primarily due to a challenging year-over-year comparison related to gains on the sale of non-core properties of $1.1 million in Q3 2024 that did not recur.

TriMas Aerospace group's net sales for the third quarter were $103.2 million, an increase of 45.8% compared to third quarter 2024, primarily due to an increase in industry build rates, new awards, commercial actions and the acquisition of TriMas Aerospace Germany (TAG) during first quarter 2025. Third quarter 2025 adjusted operating profit margin increased 860 basis points over the same period in 2024, primarily driven by improved sales conversion, commercial actions and operational excellence initiatives. The year-over-year increases also reflect the absence of a work stoppage at a manufacturing facility that impacted results in the third quarter of 2024.

TriMas Specialty Products group's net sales for the third quarter were $30.3 million, an increase of 7.2% compared to third quarter 2024, as a 31.3% year-over-year sales increase for Norris Cylinder more than offset the loss of sales related to the divestiture of Arrow Engine in January 2025. Third quarter operating profit and margins were relatively flat as compared to the same period in 2024, as higher absorption of fixed costs and previous restructuring actions at Norris Cylinder offset most of the profit lost related to the divestiture of Arrow Engine.

The above outlook includes the impact of all announced acquisitions. The outlook provided assumes no detrimental impact related to input costs or end market demand associated with global conflicts or geopolitical actions. All of the above amounts considered as 2025 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)

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; government and regulatory actions, including, without limitation, the impact of current and future tariffs and reciprocal tariffs, quotas and surcharges, as well as climate change legislation and other environmental regulations; 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 the United States and China; changes to fiscal and tax policies; intellectual property factors; uncertainties associated with our ability to meet customers’ and suppliers’ sustainability and environmental, social and governance ("ESG") goals and achieve our sustainability and ESG goals in alignment with our own announced targets; litigation; contingent liabilities relating to acquisition and disposition activities; interest rate volatility; our leverage; liabilities imposed by our debt instruments; labor disputes and shortages; the disruption of operations from catastrophic or extraordinary events, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts and public health crises; the amount and timing of future dividends and/or share repurchases, which remain subject to Board approval and depend on market and other conditions; our future prospects; and other risks that are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-

K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations or cash flows. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made herein are based on information currently available, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

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.

(2) The Company defines adjusted net income (and on a per diluted share basis, 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 impacts of non-cash acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and non-cash compensation expense. While the acquisition-related intangible assets aid in the Company’s revenue generation, the Company adjusts for the non-cash amortization expense and non-cash compensation 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.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the income tax effect on the cumulative net income adjustments varied from the tax rate inherent in the Company's reported GAAP results, primarily as a result of certain discrete items that occurred during the period for GAAP reporting purposes.
