Opening Remarks • First quarter sales of approximately $203 million – external headwinds continued – Organic initiatives and acquisition growth were more than offset by the impact of lower oil prices, lower aerospace distributor sales and unfavorable currency exchange – Sequential sales improvement in three out of four segments • Achieved Q1 EPS(1) of $0.27 – top of previously provided guidance range • Margin improvement in Packaging and Engineered Components offset by declines in Aerospace and Energy, as compared to first quarter 2015 • Aerospace experienced short-term production and acquisition integration costs and inefficiencies • Completed majority of the cost actions related to the $22 million Financial Improvement Plan – helped mitigate impact of continued top-line pressure 4 Overall earnings in quarter as expected; encouraged by results in three out of four segments, as well as reduced corporate costs. (1) Defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding “Special Items.” “Special Items” are provided in the Appendix.

External Headwinds and Tailwinds Headwinds • Macroeconomic conditions ‒ Low industrial activity levels ‒ Interest rate environment • Low oil and commodity prices ‒ Drilling and well completion activity ‒ Capex deferrals and reductions ‒ Resin and specialty steel prices • Inventory reductions at distributors ‒ Large aerospace distributors ‒ Overall supply chain reductions • Strength of U.S. dollar – Translation and transaction impacts – Exports in Engineered Components – Imports more competitive 5 Tailwinds • Commercial aircraft build rates and backlog – expect slight increase in 2016, with greater growth in 2017 • Asia still growing, albeit at lower rates – Uncertainty around China • Consumer spend remains solid – outpacing economic conditions No significant change – focused on execution to mitigate headwinds.

Key Business Initiatives 6 Initiatives remain consistent to achieve profitable growth and increased margins – balancing short and long-term objectives. • Packaging – Build out global marketing and sales force to align with end markets and customers – Add lower-cost capacity to support global customers and growth – Accelerate new product development with technology center in Asia • Aerospace – Improve throughput and production efficiencies to increase sales and margins – Achieve growth and cost synergies from acquisitions, including integration of new machined components facility • Energy – Hired Marc Roberts to lead business and drive improved performance – Leverage benefits of business restructuring and capitalize on end market opportunities • Engineered Components – Expand long-term cylinder capacity to capitalize on North American market position – Continue to “right size” the oil field engine and compressor business to reflect current market demand

Financial Highlights

First Quarter Summary • Q1 sales declined 9.5% as compared to Q1 2015 – weakness in the oil-related and industrial end markets, and unfavorable currency exchange more than offset organic initiatives and the results of a recent acquisition • Q1 operating profit dollars and margin percentage decreased as the impact of reduced sales and the related lower fixed cost absorption more than offset the positive impact of the Financial Improvement Plan, reductions in corporate expense and productivity initiatives • Income and diluted EPS both decreased due to lower operating profit • Total debt decreased as compared to Q1 2015 – used the cash distribution from Horizon Global in conjunction with the spin-off of the Cequent businesses to reduce outstanding borrowings 8 (1) “Special Items” for each period are provided in the Appendix.
