[{"type":"text","content":"\nAccelerated Organic Sales Growth in its Two Largest Segments\n\n\n BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nTriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.\n\n\nTriMas Second Quarter Highlights\n\n\n\nAchieved organic sales growth within its Packaging and Aerospace segments of 13.0% and 27.6%, respectively\n\n\n\nIncreased net sales by 3.1%, as its two largest segments offset decreased demand within Specialty Products\n\n\n\nImproved adjusted operating profit margin within its Aerospace segment by 730 basis points year-over-year\n\n\n\nReduced net shares outstanding by approximately 1.3% year-to-date through common stock repurchases\n\n\n\n\"Overall, our sales growth for the second quarter, as well as on a year-to-date basis, has exceeded our internal planning model for TriMas Packaging and TriMas Aerospace, our two largest groups,\" said Thomas Amato, TriMas President and Chief Executive Officer. \"Although these two groups account for nearly 85% of TriMas’ sales over the past twelve months, our Specialty Products segment has not yet experienced a meaningful reversion in demand, which was expected to occur during the second quarter.\"\n\n\n\"Within our TriMas Aerospace group, we continue to sequentially benefit from the continuous improvement actions we initiated last year. These actions have enabled us to bring our production into better balance in light of the continued robust demand and constrained supply network in the aerospace and defense end market. Within our TriMas Packaging group, we are highly encouraged by the rate of organic sales growth and are working through challenges associated with customer demand rates at peak capacity in certain product lines, similar to what we have experienced in other businesses emerging from a demand trough. We expect some of these items, such as expedited freight and capacity constraints, to recede as we move through the year. With respect to Specialty Products, specifically our Norris Cylinder business, we have implemented additional cost restructuring actions to better align with the current demand levels. We expect these steps will improve performance during the second half of the year, albeit on a lower sales base than anticipated,\" commented Amato.\n\n\nSecond Quarter 2024\n\n\nTriMas reported second quarter 2024 net sales o...
