TriMas Corp. (TRS) Misses Q1 EPS by 2c, Lowers FY Sales Guidance

TriMas Corp. (NASDAQ: TRS) reported Q1 EPS of $0.41, $0.02 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.43. Revenue for the quarter came in at $366.5 million versus the consensus estimate of $378.8 million.

2015 Outlook

The Company updated its 2015 outlook previously provided on February 25, 2015. Due to increased headwinds related to continued low oil prices and the stronger U.S. dollar, as well as lower than expected macroeconomic growth, the Company is estimating that 2015 sales will increase 1% to 3% on a year-over-year basis, a reduction from the 3% to 5% previously provided. The Company reaffirmed its full-year 2015 diluted earnings per share outlook to be between $2.10 and $2.20 per share, excluding any future events that may be considered Special Items. In addition, the Company expects 2015 Free Cash Flow, defined as Cash Flow from Operating Activities, excluding the cash impact of Cequent separation costs, less Capital Expenditures, to be between $60 million and $70 million.

The above guidance is reflective of a full year of TriMas Corporation as it operates today; if and when the proposed spin transaction of Cequent is completed, management will update guidance accordingly.
