Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Consolidated net sales during the third quarter of 1995 equaled $131.9
million. Sales volumes in the quarter continued to reflect the softness, which
began during the second quarter, in the general economy and in certain markets
served by the Company's products. Current quarter sales declined 1.3 percent
compared to last year's third quarter sales of $133.6 million. Sales during the
first three quarters of 1995 were $431.4 million, an increase of 4.0 percent
over the comparable period in 1994, and represent the highest total in Company
history for the first nine months.
Sales by the Towing Systems segment increased modestly during the current
quarter to $41.5 million compared to $40.7 million during last year's third
quarter. Consumers remain cautious on discretionary purchases, including
recreational products, which has caused some segment customers to limit their
purchases. Segment sales for the current year-to-date period of $144.8 million
increased 6.3 percent over last year's comparable period. Because of the
seasonality of the demand for the products provided by this segment, its sales
are concentrated in the first half of each year.
Third quarter 1995 sales by the Specialty Fasteners segment decreased
modestly to $33.3 million compared to $34.0 million during the corresponding
period of a year ago. Demand for aerospace fasteners, which remains stronger
than it was a year ago, was offset by the effects of current softness in demand
for fasteners from appliance manufacturers and from customers for heat treating
services. Segment sales during the first nine months of 1995 increased 4.3
percent to $109.5 million compared to $104.9 million one year ago.
5
Sales by the Specialty Container Products segment equaled $39.2 million
during the current quarter compared to $40.9 million during last year's third
quarter. Lower demand from the subsegments of the construction, chemical and
industrial maintenance markets served by this segment affected performance.
Year-to-date sales increased 1.0 percent to $123.5 million compared to $122.3
million in 1994. Current quarter sales by the Corporate Companies segment were
flat compared to 1994, both equaled $17.9 million. During the first nine months
sales were up 4.0 percent to $53.6 million compared to $51.5 million during
1994's corresponding period.
The Company's consolidated gross margin for the third quarter of 1995 was
32.2 percent compared to 32.6 percent for the third quarter of 1994, reflecting,
in part, the reduced sales volumes in segments where fixed costs are a greater
percentage of total cost. For the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, the gross
margins were 32.6 percent and 32.3 percent, respectively. Maintaining high
gross margins remains an important operating strategy of the Company.
The Company's consolidated operating profit for the current third quarter
was $23.0 million compared to $22.9 million in 1994. The operating margin
achieved during the current quarter increased to 17.5 percent from 17.1 percent
in 1994's third quarter. Successful cost reduction programs continue to have a
positive effect on the operating margin. During the first nine months of 1995
operating profit increased 8.8 percent to $76.9 million and represented an
operating margin of 17.8 percent, compared to operating profit of $70.7 million
or 17.0 percent of net sales in 1994.
During the latter part of the third quarter of 1995 the Company used
excess cash to retire $50 million of long-term revolving credit borrowings. The
effect of this retirement was offset by higher prevailing interest rates
resulting in interest expense during the current quarter equalling that
6
incurred during the 1994 third quarter. Interest expense during the first nine
months of 1995 increased because of higher rates. Higher interest rates and
increased average cash balances resulted in more interest income, the major
component of other income, in both 1995 periods.
Net income for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1995
was $43.2 million and $13.2 million respectively, compared to $38.1 million and
$12.4 million in last year's comparable periods. Primary earnings per common
share increased 13.6 percent to $1.17 for the first nine months of 1995 compared
to 1994's primary earnings per common share of $1.03. Fully diluted earnings
per common share increased 12.4 percent to $1.09 versus $.97 last year. Primary
and fully diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 1995 were
$.36 and $.34, compared to $.33 and $.32 last year.
Liquidity, Working Capital and Cash Flows
The Company's financial strategies include maintaining a relatively high
level of liquidity. Historically, TriMas Corporation has generated sufficient
cash flows from operating activities to fund capital expenditures, debt service
and dividends, while maintaining its strategic level of liquidity. During the
latter part of the third quarter of 1995 the Company used excess cash to retire
$50 million of long-term revolving credit borrowings. At September 30, 1995 the
current ratio was 4.3 to 1 and working capital equaled $185.9 million, including
$80.9 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company had available credit of
$278.0 million under its revolving credit facility at September 30, 1995.
Cash flows from operations provided $44.2 million and $47.0 million
during the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, respectively. These operating
7
cash flows were net of increases in receivables of $11.0 million in 1995 and
$12.3 million in 1994. These increases in receivables during the first nine
months of each year were due mainly to the seasonality of the Towing Systems
segment, and increased sales volumes. Historically, the cash flow provided by
the seasonal increase in receivables is realized later in the year. Increases
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities provided $.7 million and $5.6
million in the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, respectively. Capital
expenditures during the first nine months equaled $14.8 million in 1995 and
$16.7 million in 1994. The retirement of the revolving credit borrowings and an
increase in the common dividend rate are reflected in the increase in cash used
for financing activities during the first nine months of 1995.
The Company believes its cash flows from operations, along with its
borrowing capacity and access to financial markets, are adequate to fund its
strategies for future growth, including working capital, expenditures for
manufacturing expansion and efficiencies, market share initiatives, and
corporate development activities.
