Tom brings with him nearly 35 years of experience in the packaging industry, including a distinguished track record of leadership at Silgan. Most recently, he served as President of Silgan Containers, where he led a business generating nearly $3 billion in annual sales. Under his leadership, the company achieved significant growth in sales, earnings, and cash flow. We're thrilled to welcome Tom to the TriMas team. In just a short time, he's already been actively engaging across the organization and laying the groundwork for the next chapter of growth. I'm confident you'll appreciate his insights. At this point, I'll turn the call over to Tom. Tom? Thank you, Sherry. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. As I join you for my first earnings call as CEO, I want to begin by expressing how truly excited and honored I am to lead this company. TriMas has a strong foundation, a proud history, and a commitment to continuous improvement, and I'm energized by the opportunity to help shape its next chapter. Since stepping into this role over a month ago, I've made it a priority to listen, learn, and engage deeply with all employees at all levels across the organization. Over the past 30+ days, I've had the opportunity to immerse myself in the business, and I'd like to take a few moments to share some of my early impressions and the key areas I've been focused on. Let's begin on slide four. First, let me walk you through what I've been focused on since stepping into this role. I've made it a priority to get out into the field and see our operations up close. Over the past month, I visited 10 of our manufacturing sites across the United States and Europe, including several packaging and aerospace facilities here in the U.S., as well as packaging sites in the U.K., the Netherlands, and Italy. These plants gave me invaluable insight into our day-to-day operations, the strength of our local teams, and the pride that our employees take in delivering high-quality products. I was impressed by the flexibility and diverse capabilities of our facilities, as well as the deep technical expertise embedded in our processes and with our people. I've also spent significant time with our business leadership teams, engaging in strategic discussions around what's driving our success today and what we need to do to build upon that success to accelerate our plans to stay ahead of potential market changes. These conversations have been candid, insightful, and energizing, and they've helped me quickly get up to speed on the unique strengths and opportunities across each of our businesses. In parallel, I've reviewed our current business plans and financial outlook. Working closely with our senior leaders, we've begun the early discussions of identifying both near-term actions and longer-term initiatives that can enhance our performance, whether through operational improvements, cost efficiencies, or growth through internal or external investments. From these early engagements, a few key observations stand out. First, we have an incredibly talented, dedicated, and focused team across the organization. Whether on the shop floor in engineering or within our commercial and support functions, I've seen a strong sense of ownership, engagement, and pride in the work being done. Second, our products and processes are often innovative and proprietary, driven by strong engineering capabilities and a culture of continuous improvement. Third, our manufacturing facilities have tremendous flexibility with capabilities well positioned for future growth. Finally, we benefit from longstanding strategic relationships with market-leading customers who value our ability to deliver quality and reliability. We listen to our customers and develop key account plans to drive high-performance results. Looking ahead, my focus will be on building upon these strengths while driving further alignment and execution across the enterprise. Although early in my tenure, I do see a few opportunities for improvement. Specifically, I plan to prioritize driving greater standardization across our global footprint and our processes, systems, and operating practices. This will allow us to scale more efficiently, reduce complexity, and ensure we're leveraging the best practices across those locations. It's about creating a more agile and integrated enterprise that can respond even faster and operate smarter. Next, I believe there's an opportunity to focus on the seamless integration of some of our recent acquisitions. These businesses bring valuable capabilities and customer relationships, and we're committed to unlocking their full potential. By aligning them with our systems and priorities, I believe we can accelerate synergies, expand our market reach, and drive additional profitable growth. Finally, we continue to invest in automation and tools to enhance productivity, provide critical business data, and increase responsiveness. These investments will help us reduce costs, improve consistency, and free up our teams to focus on higher value activities. In short, I see tremendous opportunity ahead for growth and margin expansion. I am committed to working with the teams to identify opportunities and implement actions to drive improved performance. Shifting gears, I'd like to turn your attention to slide five and take a moment to highlight our strong second quarter performance. We delivered solid results across the board with year-over-year sales growth in all three of our groups: packaging, aerospace, and Norris Cylinder. We also achieved notable margin improvement led by our aerospace group. This margin expansion contributed meaningfully to our growth in operating income and earnings per share, both of which came in ahead of expectations. Thank you to the TriMas team for making my first earnings call an easier one. The strong results this quarter are a direct reflection of your hard work and focus. With that, I'll turn it over to Teresa to walk through our financial and segment results for the quarter. Teresa. Thank you, Tom. Let's turn to slide six, highlighting our second quarter 2025 financial performance. We delivered another strong quarter with consolidated net sales of $275 million, up more than 14% year-over-year. Excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions and dispositions, organic growth was more than 13% for the quarter. Quarter two acquisition-related sales were $6.7 million related to the acquisition of GMP Aerospace, now known as TriMas Aerospace Germany or TAG, more than making up for the loss of $5.4 million in sales related to the divestiture of AeroEngine in the specialty product segment. Consolidated operating profit increased by more than 50% compared to Q2 2024, or $11 million, reflecting the strong revenue growth and expanded operating margin of 300 basis points with improvements in all segments led by aerospace. This correlated to a meaningful increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA, which was up 31% to nearly $48 million, and a margin improvement of 220 basis points to 17.4%. Our adjusted earnings per share increased to $0.61, representing 42% growth year-over-year. All of our businesses contributed to these results with a strong focus across the organization on operational efficiency initiatives, revenue quality, and providing innovative solutions for our customers. Turning to the balance sheet and our capital position on slide seven, we continue to manage a strong and flexible balance sheet supported by low interest rates and a long-term debt with no maturities due until 2029. Net debt declined sequentially from Q1 2025 as we continued to pay down the increase resulting from the GMP Aerospace acquisition. As a result of the higher earnings and efforts to pay down debt, our net leverage as of June 30, 2025 decreased to 2.4 x as compared to 2.6 x at the end of 2024. Q2 free cash flow improved to $16.9 million, bringing our year-to-date free cash flow to $17.5 million as compared to a use of cash of $2.8 million during the same period of 2024. This improvement reflects our enhanced operating performance and disciplined working capital management. Overall, we believe our capital structure is well positioned to support both near-term operations and future strategic investments. I will now shift gears to provide additional color on our Q2 segment performance, starting with packaging on slide eight. In our packaging segment, we achieved organic sales growth after adjusting for currency effects of nearly 8%, reflecting continued demand strength for dispensers for the beauty and personal care market. This growth was partially offset by slower growth in our closures and flexibles product lines due to some weakness in the food and beverage markets. Second quarter operating profit margin improved 30 basis points to 14.3%, while adjusted EBITDA margin improved 70 basis points to 20.9%, driven by sales leverage, operational efficiencies, and continued cost management. Our teams also successfully navigated direct tariff impacts through proactive commercial actions, including strategic pricing adjustments and supplier negotiations. Looking ahead, we remain confident in the trajectory of our packaging business. For the full year 2025, we continue to expect GDP plus sales growth supported by recent customer wins and steady demand across most end markets. We also anticipate modest margin expansion compared to 2024 as we continue to drive operational discipline and leverage efficiencies. During the second half of 2025, the most significant external factor we are monitoring, like many in the packaging industry, is the evolving global tariff environment. In the near term, we are actively working with both suppliers and customers to mitigate exposure and manage cost impacts through strategic sourcing and commercial actions. Overall, we are encouraged by the progress made in the packaging segment this quarter and remain optimistic about its long-term growth potential. Turning to slide nine, I'll review our aerospace segment. During Q2, our aerospace group had a record sales quarter of about $100 million in revenue with a growth rate of 32%+. This was driven by continued increasing demand in the aerospace and defense market, improved throughput against a strong order book, successful contract management, and acquisition-related sales of $6.7 million related to the acquisition of TAG. Our operating profit nearly doubled year-over-year with margin expansion of 650 basis points, and our LTM adjusted EBITDA margin now exceeds 21%, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. This outstanding performance was largely driven by the aerospace team's execution, including accelerated factory floor and operational excellence improvements, procurement initiatives, and our ability to capitalize on market opportunities by delivering innovative solutions to our customers. As a result of the strong first half performance, we now expect organic sales growth of 20%+ for the full year 2025, with an improvement in margin of 400+ basis points compared to 2024. We also remain excited about the longer-term growth outlook given our backlog and continued focus on customer solutions, which we expect will drive growth in 2026 and beyond. We continue to prioritize incremental capital investments to support this growth and to accelerate further operational improvements for TriMas Aerospace. If we turn to slide 10, I will now cover our specialty product segment. Norris Cylinder delivered 13% year-over-year sales growth, reflecting solid underlying demand and quarterly year-over-year sales growth for the first time since the third quarter of 2023. However, this was more than offset by the $5.4 million reduction in sales resulting from the January 2025 divestiture of AeroEngine. As a result, the specialty product segment experienced overall sales down 6.8% year-over-year. Despite the impact of the divestiture, operating profit more than doubled and improved 250 basis points year-over-year, driven by higher sales and absorption of fixed costs and the benefits of previous cost reduction initiatives at Norris Cylinder, offsetting the unfavorable inventory capitalization changes in the quarter. We expect these unfavorable impacts to subside as we continue to work through absorbed manufacturing overhead from the prior year period. With that said, we expect mid-single-digit sales growth for Norris Cylinder for the full year 2025, with margins relatively flat to slightly up year-over-year. As a result of improving order intake, combined with prior cost restructuring actions, we expect to accelerate Norris Cylinder's recovery performance as we move through the second half of the year. I will now turn the call back to Tom to provide further details on our outlook. Thank you, Teresa. Let's now turn to slide 11. As highlighted in our press release this morning, we are raising our 2025 outlook. Following a strong first half of the year, we are increasing both our full-year sales and earnings per share guidance, supported by continued strength in our aerospace business and positive trends within specialty products. We now expect full-year sales growth of 8% - 10% compared to 2024 and full-year adjusted earnings per share of $1.95 - $2.10. At the midpoint of our new guidance, we are now driving toward a 25% increase in earnings per share compared to $1.65 for full year 2024. While we expect much of our positive momentum to continue, the changing tariff environment continues to present uncertainty in customer order patterns and consumer demand, which we continue to monitor. With that said, we continue to take proactive steps to mitigate the impact and remain focused on driving ongoing performance improvement. Before turning to Q&A, I would like to once again state how pleased I am to be at TriMas and how excited I am about the company's future potential. While each business is at a different phase in their respective cycle, TriMas Packaging, TriMas Aerospace, and Norris Cylinder are all well positioned to deliver a bright future. I'm excited about what we can accomplish together, and I look forward to working with our teams, our customers, and all of our investors to deliver long-term value. Thank you, and with that, I will turn the call back to Sherry. Thanks, Tom. At this point, we would like to open up the call to questions from our analysts. Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment, please, while we pull for questions. Thank you. Our first question comes from a line of Ken Newman with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question. Hi, good morning, guys. Hi. Good morning. Morning. Hi, Tom. Congrats on the new position. Thank you very much. Of course, I appreciate all the prepared comments on your key focus areas coming into the organization. I know you've only been there for a little over a month now, but I think the biggest question that I get from investors, particularly recently, is what does the portfolio kind of look like over the intermediate to longer term? Coming in, I'm sure you saw a lot of great things out of the packaging segment, but I'm curious how you think about the portfolio as it is today, and if you have any comments or thoughts on what that portfolio could look like, and maybe aerospace in particular, whether you think that is a longer-term pillar of the growth strategy in coming years. Thank you for the question. I forgot to mention that I was going to ask you guys to be easy on me. Anyways, the portfolio today, what we're focused on is maximizing that portfolio. We're looking at three really good businesses, and we're working on operational improvements. We're working on how we can take costs out of those businesses and how we can expand our positions commercially with our customers. We have businesses that have not been, let's say, fully integrated or maximized. That's been kind of my focus as I've gone through these different plants, and I've seen a lot of them, as I said, over the last couple of weeks. I see the potential there. We're in the process of figuring out how we're going to maximize the current portfolio that we have. As you know, we've engaged in that process to study that and figure out what's best long term. We're continuing to work on that. In the meantime, we're going to continue to focus on doing what we do and do it the best we can. Understood. That's helpful. Maybe just switching over to the guidance. First, on aerospace, Teresa, it does seem like the implied operating margins for Aero maybe step down from the first half or from Q2 levels into the back half. One, is that kind of the right way to think about it? If so, just any help on what's kind of driving the moderation in the operating leverage there? Is that just some pullback on the volumes? Is there a mixed impact there? Yes, thanks, Ken. Yes, you've got it right. There is some pullback in Q3 and Q4. Most of that is due to our seasonal trends, both for aerospace and packaging. I would say that both businesses also had some unique, one-time customer benefits and growth in Q4 that we don't plan on repeating. It is a bit more moderated in the back end, but we're confident on our expectations on the range and what we've got going on in both those businesses. Yeah, that's helpful. Maybe just one last one, and I'll jump back into the queue. You talk about ramping up on the capital investment for the Airbus contract starting in 2026. Is there any way to help? I know you're not ready to guide to 2026 yet, but is there any way to help us size the revenue opportunity for Aero in particular, just from that contract, or putting some barriers around sizing what top line could look like just from the contract as it ramps up? I think we'll defer that for 2026 guidance. As we've previously discussed with the Airbus, we look at ramping up in 2026, the phase-in, phase-out program. We'll have a larger step increase in 2027. It's going to be a several-year process. We're really excited about that commercial deal, and margins will be strong. We'll probably be able to guide you a little bit better as we get into 2026 planning. Understood. Thanks. Our next question comes from a line of Hamed Khorsand with BWS Financial. Please proceed with your question. Good morning. I was just going to start off with the aerospace. If I could, the growth that you're seeing, how much of that was coming from the loss of capacity at your competitor? How much of that is coming from you picking up market share? How are you adjusting the business for capacity so you can still continue to grow? Thank you, Hamed, for the question. I would say the competitive issues that took place earlier in the year are really insignificant in terms of our overall growth. We are looking long-term at opportunities to position ourselves with customers for our unique product set. I would say more of this is really, you know, across the board, market penetration, new customers that we've gained, that we're really focused on new product and customer product innovations. We certainly have a strong market that we're playing in, and, you know, along with that is, you know, some really healthy margin expansion. I would credit that event to be less of our growth story. On the capacity, you know, we have plenty of machine capacity. That's really, you know, our challenge is more on the people side, ensuring that we can bring on the right skills and resources at the right pace to drive the overall production efficiencies. You know, we could do third shifts. We're kind of, some of that would be extra cost, but frankly, we're challenged and we'll continue to be challenged to figure out how we can bring in even more opportunity because the demand is strong and the demand is looking good for the next couple of years. Great. On the packaging side, are you done with bottleneck issues and trying to maximize the efficiencies in this segment? We've got, I'll defer to Tom because he spent a lot of time in packaging, but we see a lot of opportunity to continue to work on our packaging segment. We've got certainly a number of initiatives and things in place. We've got some new accounts coming on, but there's work to do to get us to that margin expansion that we were hoping for this year. We look forward to more activities that will help us with that. Yeah, I would just add, you know, going around and looking at those facilities, and I mentioned it earlier in my remarks that these companies, businesses are at different phases, you know, let's say in their integration and their approach to continuous improvement. Aerospace is pretty advanced on that side. On the packaging side, you know, we have some great platforms that we can continue to build on. I see great capabilities, great machinery, great resources, but they're lagging a bit on the integration side, and they're lagging on the standardization side. I see that not from a disappointed perspective, but I see that as an opportunity for us to maximize these businesses. I've got a lot of experience in that particular area. It didn't scare me at all. In fact, I was energized as I walked away from those and said we have some great opportunities to build on for the future. Hamed, I would just add that on the revenue side of that equation, there are certainly some opportunities to rationalize our products going forward and ensure that we are positioning ourselves in the marketplace with the highest margin and best return type products. You'll hear more about that as we move forward. Okay. Just the last question, what is going to be the, you know, the new accounts receivable run rate? Should we expect this to go down, or is it because the sales are now going to be at a higher rate? You know, your receivables are going to stay at this kind of number. Yeah, I think it's a little on the high side today. We should see some improvements over time. We've had a few, you know, every quarter there seems to be a few special customer type arrangements. Underlying that, we're making good progress on those areas. Okay, thank you. Our next question is a follow-up from Ken Newman with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question. Hi, thanks for the follow-up. Teresa, Tom, maybe give you the opportunity to see if you want to quantify at all what the opportunity is from self-help initiatives in packaging today, and just also help us frame up the magnitude of those expected benefits. Is this something where you think EBIT margins in packaging could get back to that, call it low 20% range, you know, in 2026, or is that too much of a hurdle? Yeah, I'll answer first and let Tom jump in on what he's seeing. We've got room to improve overall margins in the packaging business. I think some of that's going to tie into what our product set is going forward and the customer segments that we're going after. We're making some shifts in our approach to customers today. I do think that there's some upside. I'm not ready to comment on what that range will be. I think it gave us a little more time to give Tom a little more time to do some magic and work with the team. I think we will be able to guide more specifically, I think, in 2026, at least on the range for that year. I would just say I don't know what the potential is yet. Our business is different. Let's say the mix of it is different than it was historically, but we do think that our EBITDA rate against our peer group is strong. We're not ashamed of anything on that front. There's always opportunity for improvement. We'll work on right-sizing our cost structure, our SG&A, our capacity, footprint utilization, etc. We'll improve it. I just don't know what that upper limit is. Sorry to be so vague. Yeah, no, it makes sense. Tom, I do want to go back to just the standardization comments you made before, though. Typically when I think about TriMas, as Rieke's business in particular, I think about their ability to do a lot of highly customized designs and that kind of being a primary pillar of the outsized margin performance versus the peers. Can you talk a little bit about where the opportunities are to standardize processes there and how that doesn't necessarily impact the competitive nature of that business? First, I want to say that the historical Rieke business does a great job. It's more of a mature business. We understand that. We have a lot of acquisitions, as you know, that we've bolted onto this business over the past few years. What we need to do is look at best practices across all of those operating platforms, and we need to figure out how we adopt and standardize across that. They do a great job collectively with respect to the importance of meeting customer expectations and quality and service. We all have our own way of doing things, and that I've seen, and that's less efficient than it could otherwise be. My experience in the past, you look at best practices, you figure out, you don't have any pride when you acquire businesses and you look at the one you're acquiring, you look at the one you have and you say, okay, what's best, and then you standardize on that one. That process hasn't happened yet that I can see, maybe to some extent, but there's still a lot of room to go there. That's good, though. We can look at those best practices and we can figure out how to standardize it. You got to be standardized really before you can start building really good improvements on top of that. In a nutshell, that's where we're at. Ken, I would just also add that we have made a number of IT investments, especially this year, ERP platforms that will enable us, from an IT systems perspective, to certainly standardize and to gain some of the synergies out of those businesses. We look forward to, as we deploy these systems, capitalizing on those as we move forward. That is a big piece of it. I am really looking forward to getting that under our belt. Yep. That makes sense. Maybe last one from me. Teresa, you mentioned the expectation for margins to continue to improve even into 2026, especially with the volume outlook here in the near term. Is there a way to think about what you think is a normalized incremental margin through an upcycle for aerospace today? We like where we are. These margins, certainly, that we've achieved now, certainly, there's likely a little bit more upside, but frankly, our focus is really to drive revenue through this model now. Focus on growth over maximizing margin. I think that that will give us the better returns over time. We like where we're at. Is there some upside? Yeah, we'll probably guide a little bit more of the range based on what we see in 2026. Just to clarify, I think the implied back cap incremental on average is, maybe call it mid-20s on EBIT. When you say like where we're at, is that kind of more in line with what you've seen in the first half on the incremental margin through an upcycle? This is more of like an upcycle average than looking for a specific quarter or anything like that. Yeah, I think that's fair, Ken. I mean, there could be a little bit of upside on the incremental compared to the first half because we've been obviously performing month after month has gotten better. I think that's a fair assumption. Got it. Thanks, guys. We have no further questions at this time. I'd like to turn the floor back over to management for closing comments. Once again, thank you for joining us today and for your continued interest in TriMas. We appreciate your time and engagement, and we look forward to sharing our progress and updates with you on the next earnings call. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's teleconference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation and have a wonderful day.
