2013 Summary • Sales increased 9.6% as compared to 2012 – sales increased in five of six segments • Operating profit and the related margin were impacted by the favorable effect of ongoing productivity initiatives and operating leverage gained on higher sales levels and gains from sale of property/business, but offset by a less favorable product sales mix in many of the businesses, costs related to acquisitions and growth initiatives, and facility consolidation and relocation projects • 2013 income(1) and EPS(1) increased 22.1% and 12.0%, respectively, primarily due to lower interest expense in 2013 as compared to 2012 – offset the impact of 9% higher weighted average shares outstanding in 2013 as compared to 2012 • Free Cash Flow(2) significantly ahead of 2012 • Total Debt down 27.6% as compared to December 31, 2012 8 (1) Defined as operating profit, excluding “Special Items,” and income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to TriMas Corporation, excluding “Special Items.” “Special Items” for each period are provided in the Appendix.
