MEDIA RELEASE
TRIMAS CORPORATION REPORTS
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICH. – March 29, 2005 – TriMas Corporation today reported sales of $227.4 million, operating profit of $8.8 million and a loss from continuing operations of $9.4 million, or $0.47 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the prior year fourth quarter sales of $214.0 million, operating profit of $4.7 million and a loss from continuing operations of $6.8 million, or $0.34 per share.
In connection with the Company's decision to sell its industrial fastener business, the results of these operations are excluded from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the Company's financial information for the three months and year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The loss from discontinued operations, net of related tax effects for the fourth quarter 2005 was $42.9 million, or $2.14 per share.
The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2005, including the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $52.7 million, or $2.63 per share compared to a net loss of $15.5 million or $0.78 per share in the same period a year ago.
Full Year 2005 Highlights
"In 2005 we saw our material margins decline approximately $41 million principally as a result of steel, resin and other material cost increases," said Grant Beard, TriMas' President and Chief Executive Officer. "In response, we aggressively reduced costs wherever possible and focused on increasing sales through market share gains. This combination of efforts enabled us to recover all but approximately $5 million of the impact to operating profit."
"Cequent, which experienced a tough first half in 2005, essentially broke even with the prior year's fourth quarter performance" Beard further commented. "The fourth quarter saw us regain positive year-over-year earnings expansion as measured by operating profit and EBITDA, with Monogram and our Industrial Specialties group of companies leading the way with significant earnings increases."
"Our focus within TriMas, as we move through 2006, will be to continue to drive earnings growth across each of the businesses within our portfolio in order to improve cash flow and enable further debt reduction," Beard said.
Results of Continuing Operations
| |
| • | Net sales improved 7.5 % in 2005 to $1,010.1 million from $939.7 million in 2004 as we experienced sales increases of 3.7%, 19.9%, and 24.3% within our Rieke Packaging Systems, Industrial Specialties, and Fastening Systems segments, respectively. Sales within our Cequent Transportation Accessories segment were essentially flat between years after consideration of the favorable effects of currency exchange. |
| |
| • | Operating profit decreased 5.2% or $4.6 million in 2005 to $84.1 million from $88.7 million in 2004. Increased margin earned on incremental sales of approximately $24 million, lower spending related to consolidation and restructuring activities of approximately $5 million and reduced variable and fixed overhead spending of approximately $7 million were more than offset by lower material margins of approximately $41 million. In 2005, operating profit also included an |

| |
| impairment loss of approximately $3.0 million associated with the shutdown of two operating facilities in Elkhart, IN and Sheffield, PA within our Cequent Transportation Accessories segment, while operating income in 2004 included an impairment loss of $2.4 million related primarily to the completion of the planned consolidation of operating facilities within our Industrial Specialties segment. |
| |
| • | The Company reported income from continuing operations of $0.9 million, or $0.04 per share in 2005, compared to income from continuing operations of $14.0 million or $0.70 per share in the year ago period. Increased interest costs ($7.6 million), higher expense associated with increased use of our receivables securitization facility and costs associated with its renewal in July 2005 ($1.7 million), unfavorable impacts of currency exchange losses which were not considered in operating profit ($2.9 million), and a higher effective tax rate on income from continuing operations resulted in the decline between years. The higher effective tax rate in 2005 is due in part to $0.4 million of additional taxes recorded by the Company in connection with the dividend repatriation of $55.8 million under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. |
| |
| • | Cequent Transportation Accessories substantially completed its profit improvement initiatives in the last half of 2005 to reduce its fixed cost base, through reduction of selling, general and administrative costs, shrinking of its manufacturing and distribution footprint and lowering variable cost through offshore purchasing initiatives. |
Results of Discontinued Operations
| |
| • | Sales from discontinued operations in 2005 were $98.9 million, a decrease of $6.6 million from $105.5 million in the same period a year ago, due to overall lower market demand and as a result of major industrial customers adjusting inventory levels. The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax benefits recorded was $46.3 million and $16.2 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in the 2005 results is a non-cash impairment charge, net of related tax effects of $41.6 million which was recorded to reduce the carrying value of net assets, used in the industrial fasteners operations, to their estimated fair value. |
Fourth Quarter Highlights
Results of Continuing Operations
| |
| • | The Company's 2005 fourth quarter net sales increased 6.3% to $227.4 million from $214.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Sales increased 31.1% and 16.9% within our Fastening Systems and Industrial Specialties segments, respectively. Sales were essentially flat between years in our Cequent Transportation Accessories segment and declined 2.2% within our Rieke Packaging Systems segment. After consideration of the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates in fourth quarter 2005 compared to a year ago, sales within our Rieke Packaging Systems segment were essentially flat between years. |
| |
| • | As highlighted in the Fourth Quarter Financial Summary, operating profit improved $4.1 million to $8.8 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2005, compared to an operating profit of $4.7 million in the same period a year ago. Additional margin earned on incremental sales of approximately $4 million and reduced selling and administrative expenses of approximately $2 million were partially offset by higher overhead spending of approximately $2 million. Operating profit reported in the fourth quarter 2005 also included an asset impairment charge of $3.0 million associated with the shutdown of an assembly / distribution center (Sheffield, PA) and a small accessory manufacturing location (Elkhart, IN) in our Cequent Transportation Accessories segment. In fourth quarter 2004, operating profit included an asset impairment charge of $2.4 million related to the completed relocation and consolidation of operations in our Industrial Specialties (Netcong, NJ) segment. Further, the Company increased its reserves for asbestos-related defense costs $1.5 million and $2.7 million in the quarters ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Also in the fourth quarter 2004, the Company expensed $1.1 million of costs previously deferred related to its proposed offering of equity securities because the offering had been delayed in excess of 90 days. |

| |
| • | The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $9.4 million, or $0.47 per share compared to a loss from continuing operations of $6.8 million or $0.34 per share in the fourth quarter 2004. The improvement in operating profit between years, was more than offset by increased interest costs and higher expense associated with increased use of our receivables securitization facility ($2.0 million) and a lower tax benefit ($4.6 million) recorded in fourth quarter 2005 compared to the year ago period. |
| |
| • | The Company spent approximately $0.6 million and $1.1 million during fourth quarter 2005 and 2004, respectively, in consolidation, restructuring, and integration efforts, principally in its Cequent Transportation Accessories segment. |
Results of Discontinued Operations
| |
| • | Sales from discontinued operations declined $5.8 million or approximately 19.8%, from $29.0 million in fourth quarter 2004 to $23.2 million in fourth quarter 2005, as sales in the year ago period benefited from working down a significant sales backlog which resulted from the restructuring and consolidation activities that occurred through the first nine months of 2004. The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax benefits recorded was $42.9 million and $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in the 2005 amount is the previously discussed net of tax impairment charge of $41.6 million, which reduced the carrying value of net assets used in discontinued operations to their estimated fair value. |
Grant Beard, TriMas' President and Chief Executive Officer further commented, "In the fourth quarter, we reached the decision and initiated actions to sell our industrial fasteners business, consistent with our previously communicated strategy to strengthen our balance sheet, reduce debt, and sell non-core assets from our portfolio. This process is well underway and we will communicate specifics of any planned transaction as they become available."

Segment Results – Continuing Operations
Rieke Packaging Systems
In the fourth quarter 2005, net sales decreased 2.2% to $30.4 million from $31.1 million in sales reported in the year ago period, while operating profit increased 4.3% to $6.1 million (20.2% of sales) from $5.9 million (18.9% of sales). Excluding the impacts of changes in currency exchange rates, operating profit increased 6.6% between years, while sales were approximately flat as a decline in the sales of core products of $2.7 million was approximately offset by increased sales of new specialty dispensing products.
Cequent Transportation Accessories
Cequent's 2005 fourth quarter sales of $105.5 million decreased slightly from sales reported in the year ago period of $106.1 million. Operating profit declined $4.0 million between years from an operating profit of $2.2 million to an operating loss of $1.8 million due principally to non-cash asset impairment charges of $3.0 million related to the consolidation and shutdown of an assembly / distribution center (Sheffield, PA) within our Consumer Products business and a small accessory manufacturing location (Elkhart, IN) within our Towing Products business. Although operating profit declined in the quarter as a result of essentially flat market demand, we have continued our earnings improvement focus within Cequent to: (1) reduce its fixed cost base, through the continued reduction of SG&A costs and shrinking of its manufacturing and distribution footprint; (2) lower variable cost through offshore purchasing initiatives and reduction in SKU complexity; and (3) drive customer performance through improved order fill.
4
Industrial Specialties
Sales within our Industrial Specialties segment increased a solid $10.9 million or 16.9% to $75.5 million during the fourth quarter 2005 as the group's six businesses continued to experience strong demand as compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. Operating profit in the fourth quarter 2005 was $6.9 million or 9.2% of sales, and included a charge for asbestos-related defense costs of $1.5 million. Operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2004 was $0.2 million and included a non-cash asset impairment charge of $2.4 million, increased asbestos-related defense costs of $2.7 million and other charges of $0.7 million due to the completion of Compac's move to the Hackettstown, NJ plant during the quarter.
Fastening Systems
Sales within the Fastening Systems segment in fourth quarter 2005 increased approximately $3.8 million or 31.1%, to $16.0 million as compared to sales of $12.2 million in the fourth quarter 2004, as sales of Monogram's aerospace fasteners continued to benefit from a strong industry plane build and due to solid demand for specialty automotive fasteners. Operating profit in fourth quarter 2005 increased $1.1 million, or 41.6 % as this segment benefited from strong demand.
Financial Position
TriMas ended the year with total assets of $1,428.5 million, debt of $727.7 million and $37.3 million outstanding under its receivables securitization facility. Net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $29.9 million and $42.6 million, respectively. In 2005, net cash provided by operating activities was reduced $9.6 million due to decreased use of our receivables securitization facility, which is included in cash flows from operating activities. In 2004, net cash provided by operating activities benefited as a result of increased activity on our receivables securitization facility of approximately $48.0 million.
