The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from such estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus and related variants (“COVID-19”). While the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, the Company has made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

3. Realignment Actions

2021 Realignment Actions

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company executed certain realignment actions in response to reductions in current and expected future end market demand.

The Company also realigned its Aerospace segment footprint, consolidating certain activities previously in its Stanton, California facilities into its Tolleson, Arizona facility. In addition, the Company also reorganized its corporate office legal and finance groups. The Company recorded pre-tax realignment charges of approximately $4.2 million and $8.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Of these costs, approximately $0.7 million and $2.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to facility consolidations, and approximately $3.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively, were for employee separation costs.

2020 Realignment Actions

In the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company executed certain realignment actions, primarily in its Aerospace and Specialty Products segments, in response to reductions in current and expected future end market demand. The Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $13.2 million related to inventory reductions, primarily as a result of a strategic decision in its Arrow Engine division to narrow its product line focus. The Company also recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $2.2 million related to certain production equipment removed from service given reduced demand levels.

Senior Notes due 2029

In March 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due April 15, 2029 ("2029 Senior Notes") at par value in a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"). The Company used the proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes offering to pay fees and expenses of approximately $5.1 million related to the offering and pay fees and expenses of $1.1 million related to amending its existing credit agreement. In connection with the issuance, during the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed the redemption of its outstanding 4.875% senior notes due October 15, 2025 ("2025 Senior Notes"), paying $300.0 million to retire the outstanding principal amount plus $7.3 million as a redemption premium. The remaining cash proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including repaying all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings. The $5.1 million of fees and expenses related to the 2029 Senior Notes were capitalized as debt issuance costs, while the $7.3 million redemption premium, as well as approximately $3.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2025 Senior Notes, were included in debt financing and related expenses in the accompanying statement of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The 2029 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 2021. The payment of principal and interest is jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company (each a "Guarantor" and collectively the "Guarantors"). The 2029 Senior Notes are pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 104.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings provided that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such equity offering. In addition, prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a "make whole" premium. On or after April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Senior Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below:

Senior Notes due 2025

In September 2017, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Senior Notes at par value in a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, and in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding 2025 Senior Notes, as permitted under the indenture, at a price of 102.438% of the principal amount.

Credit Agreement

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company amended its credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes to extend the maturity date. The Company incurred fees and expenses of approximately $1.1 million related to the amendment, all of which was capitalized as debt issuance costs. The Company also recorded approximately $0.2 million of non-cash expense related to the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing fees. The Credit Agreement consists of a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which permits borrowings denominated in specific foreign currencies, subject to a $125.0 million sub limit, maturing on March 29, 2026 and is subject to interest at London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.50%. The interest rate spread is based upon the leverage ratio, as defined, as of the most recent determination date.

The Credit Agreement also provides incremental revolving credit facility commitments in an amount not to exceed the greater of $200.0 million and an amount such that, after giving effect to such incremental commitments and the incurrence of any other indebtedness substantially simultaneously with the making of such commitments, the senior secured net leverage ratio, as defined, is no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. The terms and conditions of any incremental revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the existing credit facility.

The Company's revolving credit facility allows for the issuance of letters of credit, not to exceed $40.0 million in aggregate. The Company places cash on deposit with a financial institution to be held as cash collateral for the Company's outstanding letters of credit; therefore, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no letters of credit issued against its revolving credit facility. See Note 5, "Cash and Cash Equivalents," for further information on its cash deposit. At June 30, 2021, the Company had no amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $300.0 million available. At December 31, 2020, the Company had $50.5 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had approximately $249.5 million available. The Company's borrowing capacity was not reduced by leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The debt under the Credit Agreement is an obligation of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the assets of such parties. Borrowings under the $125.0 million (equivalent) foreign currency sub limit of the $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a cross-guarantee amongst, and a pledge of the assets of, the foreign subsidiary borrowers that are a party to the agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains various negative and affirmative covenants and other requirements affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, including the ability, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, to incur debt, liens, mergers, investments, loans, advances, guarantee obligations, acquisitions, assets dispositions, sale-leaseback transactions, hedging agreements, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements and amendments to charters, bylaws, and other material documents. The terms of the Credit Agreement also require the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to meet certain restrictive financial covenants and ratios computed quarterly, including a maximum total net leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness plus outstanding amounts under the accounts receivable securitization facility, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined), a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio (total consolidated senior secured indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA, as defined, over the sum of consolidated cash interest expense, as defined, and preferred dividends, as defined). At June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

Other Revolving Loan Facility

In May 2021, the Company, through one of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, entered into a revolving loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $4 million. The facility is guaranteed by TriMas Corporation. There were no borrowings on this loan facility during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

10. Derivative Instruments

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company uses cross-currency swap contracts to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated assets against future volatility in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. By doing so, the Company synthetically converts a portion of its U.S. dollar-based long-term debt into Euro-denominated long-term debt. At inception, the Company designates its cross-currency swaps as net investment hedges.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cross-currency swap agreements at notional amounts totaling $250.0 million, which declines to $25.0 million over various contract periods ending between April 15, 2022 and April 15, 2027. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is to receive net interest payments at fixed rates ranging from approximately 0.8% to 2.9% of the notional amounts.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value carrying amount of the Company's derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recorded as follows (dollars in thousands):

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

As of June 30, 2021, the Company was party to foreign currency exchange forward contracts to economically hedge changes in foreign currency rates with notional amounts of approximately $126.5 million. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk associated with fluctuations in currency rates impacting cash flows related to certain of its receivables, payables and intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign exchange contracts primarily mitigate currency exposures between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, Mexican peso and the Chinese yuan, and have various settlement dates through December 2021. These contracts are not designated as hedge instruments; therefore, gains and losses on these contracts are recognized each period directly into the consolidated statement of operations.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Asbestos

As of June 30, 2021, the Company was a party to 374 pending cases involving an aggregate of 4,725 claimants primarily alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos containing materials formerly used in gaskets (both encapsulated and otherwise) manufactured or distributed by its former Lamons division and certain other related subsidiaries for use primarily in the petrochemical, refining and exploration industries. The following chart summarizes the number of claims, number of claims filed, number of claims dismissed, number of claims settled, the average settlement amount per claim and the total defense costs, at the applicable date and for the applicable periods:


	Claims pending at beginning of period	Claims filed during period	Claims dismissed during period	Claims settled during period	Claims pending at end of period	Average settlement amount per claim during period		Total defense costs during period
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021	4,655	143	55	18	4,725	$	15,228	$	1,060,000
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2020	4,759	219	287	36	4,655	$	18,314	$	2,130,000

In addition, the Company acquired various companies to distribute its products that had distributed gaskets of other manufacturers prior to acquisition. The Company believes that many of its pending cases relate to locations at which none of its gaskets were distributed or used.

The Company may be subjected to significant additional asbestos-related claims in the future, and will aggressively defend or reasonably resolve, as appropriate. The cost of settling cases in which product identification can be made may increase, and the Company may be subjected to further claims in respect of the former activities of its acquired gasket distributors. The cost of claims varies as claims may be initially made in some jurisdictions without specifying the amount sought or by simply stating the requisite or maximum permissible monetary relief, and may be amended to alter the amount sought. The large majority of claims do not specify the amount sought. Of the 4,725 claims pending at June 30, 2021, 33 set forth specific amounts of damages (other than those stating the statutory minimum or maximum). At June 30, 2021, of the 33 claims that set forth specific amounts, there was one claim seeking more than $5 million for punitive damages. Below is a breakdown of the compensatory damages sought for those claims seeking specific amounts:

Compensatory

Range of damages sought (dollars in millions)

$0.0 to $0.6

$0.6 to $5.0

$5.0+

Number of claims

—

Relatively few claims have reached the discovery stage and even fewer claims have gone past the discovery stage. Total settlement costs (exclusive of defense costs) for all such cases, some of which were filed over 25 years ago, have been approximately $10.3 million. All relief sought in the asbestos cases is monetary in nature. Based on the settlements made to date and the number of claims dismissed or withdrawn for lack of product identification, the Company believes that the relief sought (when specified) does not bear a reasonable relationship to its potential liability.

There has been significant volatility in the historical number of claim filings and costs to defend, with previous claim counts and spend levels much higher than current levels. Management believes this volatility was associated more with tort reform, plaintiff practices and state-specific legal dockets than the Company’s underlying asbestos-related exposures. From 2017 to 2019, however, the number of new claim filings, and costs to defend, had become much more consistent, ranging between 143 to 173 new claims per year and total defense costs ranging between $2.2 million and $2.3 million.

The higher degree of consistency in census data and spend levels, as well as lower claim activity levels and an evolving defense strategy, has allowed the Company to more effectively and efficiently manage claims, making process or local counsel arrangement improvements where possible. Given the consistency of activity over a multi-year period, the Company believed a trend may have formed where it could be possible to reasonably estimate its future cash exposure for all asbestos-related activity with an adequate level of precision. As such, the Company commissioned an actuary to help evaluate the nature and predictability of its asbestos-related costs, and provide an actuarial range of estimates of future exposures. Based upon its review of the actuarial study, which was completed in June 2020 using data as of December 31, 2019 and which projected spend levels through a terminal year of 2064, the Company affirmed its belief that it now has the ability to reasonably estimate its future asbestos-related exposures for pending as well as unknown future claims.

During the second quarter 2020, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for asbestos-related defense costs from accruing for probable and reasonably estimable defense costs associated with known claims expected to settle to accrue for all future defense costs for both known and unknown claims, which the Company now believes are reasonably estimable. The Company believes this change is preferable, as asbestos-related defense costs represent expenditures related to legacy activities that do not contribute to current or future revenue generating activities, and recording an estimate of the full liability for asbestos-related costs, where estimable with reasonable precision, provides a more complete assessment of the liability associated with resolving asbestos-related claims. This accounting change was reflected as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle.

Following the change in accounting estimate, the Company’s liability for asbestos-related claims will be based on a study from the Company’s third-party actuary, the Company's review of the study, as well as the Company’s own review of asbestos claims and claim resolution activity. The study from the Company’s actuary, based on data as of December 31, 2019, provided for a range of possible future liability from $31.5 million to $43.3 million. The Company did not believe any amount within the range of potential outcomes represented a better estimate than another given the many factors and assumptions inherent in the projections, and therefore recorded a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $23.4 million in second quarter 2020 to increase the liability estimate to $31.5 million, at the low-end of the range. This charge is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s total asbestos-related liability is $27.3 million, and is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s primary insurance, which covered approximately 40% of historical costs related to settlement and defense of asbestos litigation, expired in November 2018, upon which the Company became solely responsible for defense costs and indemnity payments. The Company is party to a coverage-in-place agreement (entered into in 2006) with its first level excess carriers regarding the coverage to be provided to the Company for asbestos-related claims. The coverage-in-place agreement makes asbestos defense costs and indemnity insurance coverage available to the Company that might otherwise be disputed by the carriers and provides a methodology for the administration of such expenses. The Company will continue to be solely responsible for defense costs and indemnity payments prior to the commencement of coverage under this agreement, the duration of which would be subject to the scope of damage awards and settlements paid. Based upon the Company’s review of the actuarial study, the Company does not believe it is probable that it will reach the threshold of qualified future settlements required to commence excess carrier insurance coverage under the coverage-in-place agreement.

Based upon the Company's experience to date, including the trend in annual defense and settlement costs incurred to date, and other available information (including the availability of excess insurance), the Company does not believe these cases will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Claims and Litigation

The Company is subject to other claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business, but does not believe that any such claim or litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

TSR is calculated as the Company's average closing stock price for the 20 trading days at the end of the performance period plus Company dividends, divided by the Company's average closing stock price for the 20 trading days prior to the start of the performance period. The Company estimates the grant-date fair value subject to a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model, using the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free rate of 0.28% and annualized volatility of 35.5%. Depending on the performance achieved for these two metrics, the amount of shares earned, if any, can vary for each metric from 0% of the target award to a maximum of 200% of the target award. For similar performance-based RSUs awarded in 2018, the Company attained 126.2% of the target on a weighted average basis, resulting in an increase of 25,993 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, there was approximately $9.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs that is expected to be recorded over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of approximately $3.2 million and $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and approximately $5.7 million and $4.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

16. Earnings per Share

Net income is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period to calculate basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to stock options and RSUs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, no restricted shares or options to purchase shares were included in the computation of net income (loss) per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the dilutive effect of RSUs and options to purchase common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:


	Three months ended June 30,		Six months ended June 30,
	2021	2020	2021	2020
Weighted average common shares—basic	43,110,191	43,463,235	43,147,599	43,832,144
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units	198,165	—	299,425	—
Dilutive effect of stock options	—	—	24,592	—
Weighted average common shares—diluted	43,308,356	43,463,235	43,471,616	43,832,144

In March 2020, the Company announced its Board of Directors had authorized the Company to increase the purchase of its common stock up to $250 million in the aggregate. The initial authorization, approved in November 2015, authorized up to $50 million of purchases in the aggregate of its common stock. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company purchased 358,047 and 440,218 shares of its outstanding common stock for approximately $11.6 million and $14.2 million, respectively. The Company purchased no shares during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 1,253,650 shares of its outstanding common stock for approximately $31.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has approximately $147.5 million remaining under the repurchase authorization.

19. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was (0.3)% and 26.1%, respectively. The rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is lower than in the prior year primarily as a result of the recognition of approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax benefits in Italy, the majority of which related to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities in connection with certain tax incentives.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 11.8% and 49.2%, respectively. The rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is lower than in the prior year primarily as a result of the recognition of approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax benefits in Italy, the majority of which related to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities in connection with certain tax incentives. The rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by a decrease in profitability resulting from various realignment charges as well as an expense for a change in the Company’s accounting policy for asbestos-related defense costs.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition contains forward-looking statements regarding industry outlook and our expectations regarding the performance of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements," at the beginning of this report. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion together with the Company's reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Introduction

We are a diversified manufacturer and provider of products for customers primarily in the consumer products, aerospace & defense and industrial markets. Our wide range of innovative products are designed and engineered to solve application-specific challenges that our customers face. We believe our businesses share important and distinguishing characteristics, including: well-recognized and leading brand names in the focused markets we serve; innovative product technologies and features; a high-degree of customer approved processes and qualifications; established distribution networks; relatively low ongoing capital investment requirements; strong cash flow conversion and long-term growth opportunities. While the majority of our revenue is in the United States, we manufacture and supply products globally to a wide range of companies. We report our business activity in three segments: Packaging, Aerospace and Specialty Products.

Key Factors Affecting Our Reported Results

Our businesses and results of operations depend upon general economic conditions. We serve customers in industries that are highly competitive, cyclical and that may be significantly impacted by changes in economic or geopolitical conditions.

In March 2020, the President of the United States declared the coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak a national emergency, as the World Health Organization determined it was a pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal, provincial, state, county and local governments and public health organizations or authorities around the world implemented a variety of measures intended to control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, "shelter-in-place" or "stay-at-home" and similar orders, travel restrictions, business curtailments and closures, social distancing, personal hygiene requirements, and other measures.

We have been, and continue to be, focused on making sure the working environments for our employees are safe so our operations have the ability to deliver the products needed to support efforts to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly all of our manufacturing sites have been deemed essential operations and remained open during the pandemic, at varying levels of capacity and efficiency, experiencing only temporary shutdowns due to country-specific government mandates or for thorough cleaning as a result of suspected COVID-19 cases. The health of our employees, and the ability of our facilities to remain operational in the current regulated environment, will be critical to our future results of operations.

Our divisions were impacted in 2020 at differing levels and times, beginning with our Asian facilities and strategic supply network, both primarily in China, in late January, followed by our European (primarily Italy) and North American facilities in February and March. We implemented new work rules and processes, which promote social distancing and increased hygiene to ensure the safety of our employees, particularly at our production facilities. These measures, while not easily quantifiable, have increased the level of manufacturing inefficiencies due to elevated levels of absenteeism, resulting in less efficient production scheduling and, in certain cases, short-term idling of production. We expect that we will continue to operate with these protocols in place, which have impacted our results since early 2020.

Overall, our second quarter 2021 net sales increased approximately $19.4 million, or 9.7%, compared to second quarter 2020, primarily as a result of acquisitions in our Packaging segment and as a result of increased industrial demand in our Specialty Products segment. Sales in our Packaging segment related to dispensing and closure products we supply that are used in applications to fight the spread of germs continue at very high levels, but, as expected, lower than second quarter 2020 levels when there was a significant spike in demand at the onset of the pandemic.

The most significant drivers affecting our results of operations and our financial position in second quarter 2021 compared with second quarter 2020, other than as directly impacted by demand level changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, were a change in accounting policy for asbestos-related defense costs in second quarter 2020, the refinancing of our long-term debt agreements in 2021, the impact of our recent acquisitions, increases in the cost of certain raw materials, our realignment actions, and a decrease in our effective tax rate primarily as a result of the recognition of deferred tax benefits in Italy.

Table of Contents

In second quarter 2020, we elected to change our accounting policy for asbestos-related defense costs from accruing for probable and reasonably estimable defense costs associated with known claims expected to settle to accruing for all future defense costs for both known and unknown claims, which we now believe can be reasonably estimated. This accounting change has been reflected as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. We recorded a non-cash, pre-tax charge for asbestos-related costs of approximately $23.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

In March 2021, we refinanced our long-term debt, issuing $400 million principal amount of 4.125% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2029 ("2029 Senior Notes") at par value in a private placement offering, and amending our existing credit agreement ("Credit Agreement"), extending the maturity to March 2026. We used the proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes offering to pay fees and expenses of approximately $5.1 million related to the offering and approximately $1.1 million related to amending the Credit Agreement. The remaining cash proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including repaying all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings. In April 2021, we completed the refinancing, redeeming all of our outstanding senior notes due October 2025 ("2025 Senior Notes"), paying cash for the entire $300.0 million outstanding principal amount plus $7.3 million as a redemption premium. The $5.1 million of fees and expenses related to the 2029 Senior Notes were capitalized as debt issuance costs, while the $7.3 million redemption premium as well as approximately $3.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2025 Senior Notes were expensed in the second quarter of 2021.

In December 2020, we completed the acquisition of Affaba & Ferrari Srl ("Affaba & Ferrari"), which specializes in the design, development and manufacture of precision caps and closures for food & beverage and industrial product applications, for an aggregate amount of approximately $98.4 million, net of cash acquired, subject to normal course adjustments, which are expected to be completed in third quarter 2021. Affaba & Ferrari, which is reported in the Company's Packaging segment, operates out of a highly automated manufacturing facility and support office located in Borgo San Giovanni, Italy. Affaba & Ferrari contributed approximately $9.9 million of net sales during second quarter 2021.

In first quarter 2021, we began experiencing an increase in material costs compared with 2020 levels, primarily for resin-based raw materials and components, as well as for certain types of steel. These material costs further increased during second quarter 2021. We have escalator/de-escalator clauses in our commercial contracts with certain of our customers, or can modify prices based on market conditions, and we have been taking actions to recover the increased cost of raw materials. We estimate that due to the lag in timing between incurring the cost increases and recovering via commercial actions, our operating profit was negatively impacted by approximately $4 million and $6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared with 2020, primarily in our Packaging segment.

Since second quarter 2020, we have been executing certain realignment actions in response to reductions in current and expected future end market demand following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In second quarter 2021, we continued our facility consolidation initiatives within our Packaging and Aerospace segments and also reorganized our corporate office finance group. As a result of these realignment efforts, we recorded pre-tax facility consolidation and employee separation costs of approximately $0.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, during second quarter 2021. In second quarter 2020, we recorded non-cash charges of approximately $13.2 million related to inventory reductions, primarily as a result of a strategic decision in our Arrow Engine division to streamline its product line offering. We also recorded charges of approximately $2.2 million related to certain production equipment removed from service given reduced demand levels and reduced our employment levels given lower customer demand, incurring approximately $3.1 million in severance charges.

Our effective tax rate in second quarter 2021 was (0.3)%, compared to 26.1% in second quarter of 2020. The rate for the second quarter 2021 is lower than in the prior year primarily as a result of the recognition of approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax benefits in Italy, the majority of which related to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities in connection with certain tax incentives.

Additional Key Risks that May Affect Our Reported Results

We expect the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact us in the future at varying degrees. We expect the robust customer demand, compared with pre-pandemic demand levels, for our Packaging segment's dispensing pumps and closure products used in personal care and home care applications will continue, as we believe there is a positive secular trend focused on consumers' desire to stop the spread of germs and improve personal hygiene. We are actively collaborating with our customers and strategic supply partners to manage production capacity and supply chain availability as efficiently as possible. Industrial demand in North America was lower in 2020 compared to previous levels, and while demand levels increased in second quarter 2021, we are uncertain how and at what level demand will be impacted as governmental, travel or other restrictions are lifted, particularly in North America, where orders for our industrial cylinders, for example, are heavily influenced by the levels of construction and HVAC activity. We expect the aerospace market to continue to experience severe dislocation going forward, as except for the significant stocking order for certain of our products received during 2021, our sales levels would be significantly lower than historical levels. With the current travel restrictions and significant drop in passenger miles, aircraft manufacturers have slowed production, and since second quarter 2020 we have experienced a significant drop in aerospace-related sales related to new commercial airplane builds compared to prior levels. We expect, except as favorably impacted by the customer stocking orders in 2021, lower levels of sales and related production to continue for the foreseeable future.

We have executed significant realignment actions since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments, and also in certain Packaging product areas where demand has fallen, such as in the quick service and restaurant applications, to protect against the uncertain end market demand. We will continue to assess further actions if required. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on global economic activity, and the continued potential impact to our future results of operations, as well if there is an impact to TriMas' market capitalization, we may record additional cash and non-cash charges related to incremental realignment actions, as well as for uncollectible customer account balances, excess inventory and idle production equipment.

Despite the potential decline in future demand levels and results of operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, at present, we believe our capital structure is in a solid position, even more so following our 2021 debt refinancing. We have ample cash and available liquidity under our revolving credit facility to meet our debt service obligations, capital expenditure requirements and other short-term and long-term obligations for the foreseeable future.

The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on our operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future

developments, which cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. Future developments include the duration, scope and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, timing of widespread vaccine availability, and the resumption of normalized global economic activity. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, we are unable to predict with any confidence the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

Beyond the unique risks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, other critical factors affecting our ability to succeed include: our ability to create organic growth through product development, cross-selling and extending product-line offerings, and our ability to quickly and cost-effectively introduce and successfully launch new products; our ability to acquire and integrate companies or products that supplement existing product lines, add new distribution channels or customers, expand our geographic coverage or enable better absorption of overhead costs; our ability to manage our cost structure more efficiently via supply base management, internal sourcing and/or purchasing of materials, selective outsourcing and/or purchasing of support functions, working capital management, and greater leverage of our administrative functions.

Our overall business does not experience significant seasonal fluctuation, other than our fourth quarter, which has tended to be the lowest net sales quarter of the year due to holiday shutdowns at certain customers or other customers deferring capital spending to the following year. Given the short-cycle nature of most of our businesses, we do not consider sales order backlog to be a material factor. A growing amount of our sales is derived from international sources, which exposes us to certain risks, including currency risks.

We are sensitive to price movements and availability of our raw materials supply. Our largest raw material purchases are for resins (such as polypropylene and polyethylene), steel, aluminum and other oil and metal-based purchased components. In addition to the factors affecting our second quarter 2021 results, there has been some volatility over the past two years as a direct and indirect result of foreign trade policy, where tariffs on certain of our commodity-based products sourced from Asia have been instituted, and certain North American suppliers have opportunistically increased their prices. We will continue to take actions, to mitigate such increases, including implementing commercial pricing adjustments, resourcing to alternate suppliers and insourcing of previously sourced products to better leverage our global manufacturing footprint. Although we believe we are generally able to mitigate the impact of higher commodity costs over time, we may experience additional material costs and disruptions in supply in the future and may not be able to pass along higher costs to our customers in the form of price increases or otherwise mitigate the impacts to our operating results.

Table of Contents

Although we have escalator/de-escalator clauses in commercial contracts with certain of our customers, or can modify prices based on market conditions to recover higher costs, our price increases generally lag the underlying material cost increase, and we cannot be assured of full cost recovery in the open market.

Our Arrow Engine business in our Specialty Products segment is sensitive to the demand for natural gas and crude oil in North America. For example, demand for engine, pump jack and compressor products are impacted by active oil and gas rig counts and wellhead investment activities. Separately, oil-based commodity costs are a significant driver of raw materials and purchased components used within our Packaging segment.

Each year, as a core tenet of the TriMas Business Model, our businesses target cost savings from Kaizen and continuous improvement initiatives in an effort to reduce, or otherwise offset, the impact of increased input and conversion costs through increased throughput and yield rates, with a goal of at least covering inflationary and market cost increases. In addition, we continuously review our operating cost structures to ensure alignment with current market demand.

We continue to evaluate alternatives to redeploy the cash generated by our businesses, one of which includes returning capital to our shareholders. In 2020, our Board of Directors increased the authorization of share repurchases to a cumulative amount of $250 million. During second quarter 2021, we purchased 358,047 shares of our outstanding common stock for approximately $11.6 million. As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $147.5 million remaining under the repurchase authorization. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to return capital to shareholders through the purchase of our common stock, depending on market conditions and other factors.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2020

Overall, net sales increased approximately $19.4 million, or 9.7%, to $219.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared with $199.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our acquisitions added approximately $9.9 million of sales. Organic sales, excluding the impact of currency exchange and acquisitions, increased approximately $4.9 million, as increases in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments were partially offset by the expected decline in organic sales in our Packaging segment as the high demand levels for products that help fight the spread of germs decreased compared with the record-high levels in prior year. In addition, net sales increased by approximately $4.6 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were favorably impacted as a result of a weakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.

Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 26.5% and 18.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gross profit margin increased primarily due to the impact of higher realignment costs of $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2021, the impact of a non-cash purchase accounting charge in the second quarter of 2020 that did not repeat in 2021, as well as favorable foreign currency exchange. These increases were partially offset by an increase in material costs in the second quarter of 2021, primarily for resin-based materials. We estimate that due to the lag in timing between incurring the material cost increases and recovering via commercial actions, our gross profit was negatively impacted by approximately $4 million.

Operating profit (loss) margin (operating profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 11.7% and (9.1)% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Operating profit (loss) increased approximately $43.7 million to an operating profit of approximately $25.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, from an operating loss of approximately $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Operating profit margin and dollars increased primarily as a result of a non-cash, pre-tax charge for asbestos-related costs of approximately $23.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 due to a change in accounting policy that did not repeat in 2021, as well as due to higher realignment costs of $14.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2021 and higher sales levels. These increases were partially offset by an increase in material costs.

Interest expense decreased approximately $0.1 million, to $4.1 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as lower weighted average borrowings more than offset an increase in our interest rates.

We incurred approximately $10.3 million of debt financing and related expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 related to expenses incurred associated with the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes.

Other income decreased approximately $0.5 million to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in foreign currency gains.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was (0.3)% and 26.1%, respectively. We recorded nominal income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to approximately $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is lower than in the prior year primarily as a result of the recognition of approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax benefits in Italy, the majority of which related to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities in connection with certain tax incentives.

Net income (loss) increased approximately $27.5 million, to net income of $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to a net loss of $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in operating profit (loss) of approximately $43.7 million, partially offset by debt financing and related expenses of approximately $10.3 million, a decrease in the income tax benefit of approximately $5.5 million and a decrease in other income of approximately $0.5 million.

See below for a discussion of operating results by segment.

Packaging. Net sales increased approximately $10.8 million, or 8.4%, to $139.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $128.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Affaba & Ferrari, acquired in December 2020, contributed approximately $9.9 million of sales in the second quarter of 2021. Sales of dispensing products used in applications that help fight the spread of germs decreased by approximately $4.7 million, as demand in the second quarter of 2021, while still above historical levels, was lower than demand in second quarter 2020, which we believe was at peak levels following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales also increased by approximately $4.6 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were favorably impacted as a result of the weakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.

Gross profit increased approximately $2.6 million to $40.5 million, or 29.0% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $37.9 million, or 29.4% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to increased sales levels and approximately $1.5 million of currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were favorably impacted as a result of the weakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies. During the second quarter of 2021, we recognized approximately $0.3 million of realignment costs primarily related to the closure of our Union City, California manufacturing facility and consolidation into our Indianapolis, Indiana and Woodridge, Illinois facilities as compared to $0.9 million of realignment costs in the second quarter of 2020, primarily related to the disposal of certain equipment removed from service. In addition, we recognized an approximate $0.8 million purchase accounting non-cash charge related to our 2020 acquisition of Rapak for the step-up of inventory to fair value and subsequent amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that did not repeat in 2021. These increases were partially offset by approximately $4 million of higher material costs (primarily resin) than were recovered via sales price increases in the second quarter of 2021, and a less favorable product sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $1.2 million to $12.6 million, or 9.1% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $13.8 million, or 10.7% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to approximately $1.4 million in charges associated with second quarter 2020 realignment actions, primarily for severance, that did not repeat in 2021.

Operating profit increased approximately $3.8 million to $27.9 million, or 19.9% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $24.0 million, or 18.7% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to higher sales levels, favorable currency exchange, lower realignment costs, and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments in the second quarter of 2020 that did not repeat in 2021. These increases were partially offset by the impact of higher material costs and a less favorable product sales mix.

Aerospace. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased approximately $2.0 million, or 4.6%, to $44.6 million, as compared to $42.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Sales of our engineered components increased by approximately $1.1 million primarily due to timing of end market demand. Sales of our fasteners products increased by approximately $0.9 million, as the impact of stocking orders for specialized fasteners of approximately $7.9 million was mostly offset by a decline in overall market-related demand resulting from current and expected future reduced air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit increased approximately $6.6 million to $9.3 million, or 20.9% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $2.7 million, or 6.3% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, due primarily to realignment actions taken in the second quarter of 2020 to protect against uncertain end market demand and other adverse effects following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in charges of approximately $4.2 million related to inventory reductions, approximately $1.7 million related to severance and approximately $0.3 million related to production equipment removed from service. Gross profit also improved due to a more favorable product sales mix and the impact of an approximate $1.5 million purchase accounting non-cash charge related to our 2020 acquisition of RSA Engineered Products ("RSA") for the step-up of inventory to fair value and subsequent amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that did not repeat in 2021. Partially offsetting these year-over-year improvements was a decline in gross profit due to lower absorption of fixed costs and production inefficiencies driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as approximately $0.6 million of realignment actions taken related to facility consolidations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.3 million to approximately $7.2 million, or 16.1% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $6.9 million, or 16.1% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to higher third party expenses.

Operating profit (loss) increased approximately $6.3 million to an operating profit of approximately $2.1 million, or 4.8% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to an operating loss of $4.2 million, or 9.9% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to lower year-over-year realignment charges, a more favorable product sales mix and the recognition of a purchase accounting adjustment related to RSA's step-up to fair value and subsequent amortization during the second quarter of 2020 that did not repeat in 2021, partially offset by lower absorption of fixed costs, production inefficiencies and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

Specialty Products. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased approximately $6.7 million, or 23.8%, to $34.8 million, as compared to $28.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Sales of our cylinder products increased approximately $5.0 million, due to higher demand for steel cylinders in North America as industrial activity begins to increase following the previous lower levels a year ago as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales of engines, compressors and related parts used in upstream oil and gas applications increased by approximately $1.7 million, primarily as a result of higher oil-field activity in North America. The second quarter of 2020 included approximately $0.7 million of sales related to the liquidation of non-core inventory following our strategic decision to streamline Arrow Engine's product line offering.

Table of Contents

Gross profit increased approximately $11.5 million to $8.2 million, or 23.6% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $3.3 million, or 11.7% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, we executed certain realignment actions in response to reduced end market demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in approximately $9.0 million of non-cash charges, primarily related to Arrow Engine streamlining its product line offering and liquidating the non-core inventory, which did not repeat in 2021. In addition, gross profit increased in the second quarter of 2021 due to higher sales levels, while margins further improved due to favorable product sales mix and leveraging the previous realignment actions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.4 million to $2.2 million, or 6.4% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $2.7 million, or 9.4% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, as we incurred selling, general and administrative realignment expenses of approximately $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 related to severance as we reduced our employment levels.

Operating profit (loss) increased approximately $12.0 million to an operating profit of $6.0 million, or 17.3% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to an operating loss of $5.9 million, or 21.1% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the impact of the second quarter 2020 realignment costs that did not repeat in 2021, as well as higher sales and related profit conversion leveraging the 2020 realignment actions.

Corporate. Corporate expenses consist of the following (dollars in millions):


	Three months ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Corporate operating expenses	$	6.6	$	5.6
Non-cash stock compensation	3.3		2.8
Legacy expenses	0.5		23.6
Corporate expenses	$	10.4	$	32.0

Corporate expenses decreased approximately $21.6 million to approximately $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from approximately $32.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the $23.4 million non-cash charge recorded in second quarter 2020 due to the change of our accounting policy for asbestos-related defense costs. Corporate operating expenses increased primarily as a result of realignment charges recorded in the second quarter 2021 relating to the corporate office finance group reorganization.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Overall, net sales increased approximately $43.4 million, or 11.3%, to $425.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared with $382.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of acquisitions, which added approximately $27.6 million of sales. Organic sales, excluding the impact of currency exchange and acquisitions, increased approximately $8.4 million, as a sales increase of $12.1 million in our Packaging segment, primarily for dispensing products used in applications that help fight the spread of germs, and an increase of $2.9 million in our Specialty Products segment, primarily for steel cylinders used in industrial applications in North America, were partially offset by $6.6 million lower sales in our Aerospace segment, primarily due to lower demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, net sales increased by approximately $7.4 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were favorably impacted as a result of a weakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.

Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 25.7% and 21.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gross profit margin increased primarily due to the impact of higher realignment costs of $13.3 million in the first half of 2020 as compared to 2021, the impact of non-cash purchase accounting charges in the first half of 2020 that did not repeat in 2021, as well as favorable foreign currency exchange. This increase was partially offset by an increase in material costs in the first half of 2021, primarily for resin-based materials. We estimate that due to the lag in timing between incurring the material cost increases and recovering via commercial actions, our gross profit was negatively impacted by approximately $6 million.

Table of Contents

Operating profit margin (operating profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 11.0% and 0.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Operating profit increased approximately $45.0 million, to $46.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Operating profit margin and dollars increased primarily as a result of a non-cash, pre-tax charge for asbestos-related costs of approximately $23.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 due to a change in accounting policy that did not repeat in 2021, as well as due to higher realignment costs of $10.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2021 and higher sales levels. These increases were partially offset by an increase in material costs.

Interest expense decreased approximately $0.1 million, to $7.7 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as lower weighted average borrowings more than offset an increase in our interest rates. We drew $150 million on our revolving credit facility in first quarter 2020 to ensure availability of cash on hand, but subsequently repaid this amount late in second quarter 2020.

We incurred approximately $10.5 million of debt financing and related expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021, of which approximately $10.3 million was related to expenses incurred associated with the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes and approximately $0.2 million related to the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing fees associated with our Credit Agreement.

Other income (expense), net decreased approximately $1.3 million, to $0.3 million of other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $1.1 million of other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a year-over-year increase in losses on transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 11.8% and 49.2%, respectively. We recorded tax expense of approximately $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to a tax benefit of approximately $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is lower than in the prior year primarily as a result of the recognition of approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax benefits in Italy, the majority of which related to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities in connection with certain tax incentives. The rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by a decrease in profitability resulting from various realignment charges as well as an expense for a change in the Company’s accounting policy for asbestos-related defense costs.

Net income increased by approximately $27.5 million, to net income of $24.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in operating profit of approximately $45.0 million, partially offset by debt financing and related expenses of approximately $10.5 million, an increase in the income tax benefit (expense) of approximately $5.8 million and a decrease in other income (expense) of approximately $1.3 million.

See below for a discussion of operating results by segment.

Packaging. Net sales increased approximately $42.8 million, or 18.7%, to $271.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $228.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Acquisition-related sales growth was approximately $23.3 million, comprised of $18.0 million of sales from our December 2020 acquisition of Affaba & Ferrari and $5.3 million resulting from the January through March 2021 sales of our April 2020 acquisition of Rapak. Sales of dispensing products used in beauty and personal care and home care applications that help fight the spread of germs increased by approximately $4.1 million, primarily for personal hygiene applications, as demand rose, in part, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales of products used in industrial markets increased by approximately $3.2 million, primarily as a result of higher demand from the drums and metal closure markets in North America. Sales of products used in food and beverage markets increased by approximately $2.0 million, as the sub-markets in which many of these products are used, such as vending machines in exercise facilities, began to rebound from prior pandemic-related shutdowns. Net sales also increased by approximately $7.4 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were favorably impacted as a result of the weakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.

Packaging's gross profit increased approximately $7.8 million to $74.4 million, or 27.4% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $66.5 million, or 29.1% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to increased sales levels and approximately $2.5 million of currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were favorably impacted as a result of the weakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies. In addition, we recognized an approximate $0.8 million purchase accounting non-cash charge related to the step-up of Rapak's inventory to fair value and subsequent amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that did not repeat in 2021. These increases were partially offset by approximately $6 million of higher material costs (primarily resin) than were recovered via sales price increases in the first half of 2021. During the first half of 2021, we recognized approximately $1.6 million of realignment costs primarily related to the closure of our Union City, California manufacturing facility and consolidation into our Indianapolis, Indiana and Woodridge, Illinois facilities as compared to $0.9 million of realignment costs in the second quarter of 2020, primarily related to the disposal of certain equipment removed from service. In addition, we recognized an approximate $0.8 million purchase accounting non-cash charge related to the step-up of Affaba & Ferrari's inventory to fair value and subsequent amortization in the first half of 2021.

Packaging's operating profit increased approximately $6.8 million to $49.2 million, or 18.1% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $42.3 million, or 18.5% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to higher sales levels and favorable currency exchange. These increases were partially offset by the impact of higher material costs, incremental realignment charges and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

Aerospace. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased approximately $2.4 million, or 2.6%, to $89.2 million, as compared to $91.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. RSA, acquired in February 2020, added approximately $4.3 million of sales for January and February 2021. While sales of our fastener products benefited from approximately $13.9 million of customers' stocking orders for specialized fasteners in the first six months of 2021, sales of our fastener and engineered components products declined by approximately $4.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, both due to the lower demand resulting from current and expected future reduced air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit within Aerospace increased approximately $5.7 million to $20.3 million, or 22.7% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $14.6 million, or 15.9% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, due primarily to realignment actions taken in the second quarter of 2020 to protect against uncertain end market demand and other adverse effects following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in charges of approximately $4.2 million related to inventory reductions, approximately $1.7 million related to severance and approximately $0.3 million related to production equipment removed from service. Gross profit also improved due to a more favorable product sales mix and the impact of an approximate $2.0 million purchase accounting non-cash charge related to the step-up of RSA's inventory to fair value and subsequent amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that did not repeat in 2021. Partially offsetting these improvements was a decline in gross profit due to lower absorption of fixed costs and production inefficiencies driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and by approximately $1.1 million due to realignment actions taken related to facility consolidations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses was flat at $13.7 million, or 15.3% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $13.7 million, or 15.0% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, as the impact of higher ongoing selling, general and administrative costs associated with our acquisition of RSA was offset by cost reduction efforts to mitigate the impact of lower sales levels

Operating profit (loss) within Aerospace increased approximately $5.8 million to an operating profit of $6.6 million, or 7.4% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to an operating loss of $0.9 million, or 1.0% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to lower realignment charges, a more favorable product sales mix and the recognition of a purchase accounting adjustment related to RSA's step-up to fair value and subsequent amortization during the first half of 2020 that did not repeat in 2021, partially offset by lower fixed cost absorption and production inefficiencies.

Specialty Products. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased approximately $2.9 million, or 4.7%, to $64.8 million, as compared to $61.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Sales of our cylinder products increased approximately $1.9 million, due to higher demand for steel cylinders in North America as industrial activity began to increase in second quarter 2021 following the previous lower levels in 2020 as a result of the pandemic. Sales of engines, compressors and related parts used in upstream oil and gas applications increased by approximately $1.0 million, primarily as a result of higher oil-field activity in North America. Our sales in the first six months of 2020 included approximately $0.7 million related to the liquidation of non-core inventory following our strategic decision to streamline Arrow Engine's product line offering.

Table of Contents

Gross profit within Specialty Products increased approximately $12.2 million to $14.7 million, or 22.7% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $2.5 million, or 4.0% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we executed certain realignment actions in response to reduced end market demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in approximately $9.0 million of non-cash charges, primarily related to Arrow Engine streamlining its product line offering and liquidating the non-core inventory, which did not repeat in 2021. In addition, gross profit increased in the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to higher sales levels, while margins further improved due to favorable product sales mix and leveraging the previous realignment actions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses within Specialty Products decreased approximately $0.8 million to $4.2 million, or 6.5% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $5.0 million, or 8.1% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, as we incurred selling, general and administrative realignment expenses of approximately $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to severance as we reduced our employment levels.

Operating profit (loss) within Specialty Products increased approximately $13.0 million to an operating profit of $10.5 million, or 16.2% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to an operating loss of $2.5 million of operating profit, or 4.1% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the impact of the first half 2020 realignment costs that did not repeat in 2021, as well as higher sales and related profit conversion leveraging the 2020 realignment actions without the need to add incremental fixed costs.

Corporate. Corporate expenses, net consist of the following (dollars in millions):


	Six months ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Corporate operating expenses	$	13.0	$	10.9
Non-cash stock compensation	5.7		4.7

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $42.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to approximately $30.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Significant changes in cash flows provided by operating activities and the reasons for such changes were as follows:

•For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company generated approximately $72.3 million of cash, based on the reported net income of approximately $24.9 million and after considering the effects of non-cash items related to depreciation, amortization, loss on dispositions of assets, changes in deferred income taxes, debt financing and related expenses, stock-based compensation and other operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company generated approximately $52.1 million in cash flows based on the reported net loss of approximately $2.6 million and after considering the effects of similar non-cash items and the asbestos-related change in liability estimate.

•Increases in accounts receivable resulted in a use of cash of approximately $22.6 million and $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increased use of cash for each of the six month periods is due primarily to the timing of sales and collection of cash related thereto within the periods. Days sales outstanding of receivables remained relatively consistent during these periods.

•We increased our investment in inventory by approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and decreased our investment in inventory by approximately $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our days sales in inventory decreased by approximately ten days in 2021 through solid inventory management even as our 2021 net sales increased above 2020 levels. Our days sales in inventory also decreased by approximately ten days in 2020 compared with 2019 as a result of second quarter 2020 realignment actions to reduce inventory, primarily related to our strategic decision in our Arrow Engine division to streamline its product line offering.

•Increases in prepaid expenses and other assets resulted in a use of cash of approximately $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets resulted in a source of cash of approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. These changes were primarily a result of the timing of payments made for income taxes and certain operating expenses.

•An increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in a source of cash of approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, while a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in a use of cash of approximately $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Days accounts payable on hand decreased by approximately two days in 2021 compared with a decrease of approximately nine days in 2020, primarily as we paid certain key Packaging vendors more quickly in 2020 to ensure our orders remained a top priority for them given our robust demand levels and minimal available capacity in the marketplace in 2020.

Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $18.2 million and $102.3 million, respectively. During the first six months of 2021, we invested approximately $18.3 million in capital expenditures, as we continued our investment in growth, capacity and productivity-related capital projects. During the first six months of 2020, we invested approximately $9.3 million in capital expenditures and paid approximately $95.2 million, net of cash acquired, to acquire RSA and Rapak. We also received proceeds from disposition of business, property and equipment of approximately $2.1 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $19.0 million, while net cash used for financing activities was approximately $35.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. During the first six months of 2021, we issued $400.0 million principal amount of senior notes, made net repayments of approximately $48.6 million on our revolving credit facilities, and redeemed $300.0 million principal amount of senior notes. In connection with refinancing our long-term debt, we paid approximately $13.6 million of debt financing fees and redemption premium. We also purchased approximately $14.2 million of outstanding common stock and used a net cash amount of approximately $4.6 million related to our stock compensation arrangements. During the first six months of 2020, we borrowed approximately $1.6 million, net of repayments, on our revolving credit facilities. We also purchased approximately $31.6 million of outstanding common stock and used a net cash amount of approximately $2.6 million related to our stock compensation arrangements.

Our Debt and Other Commitments

In March 2021, we issued the 2029 Senior Notes in a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We used the proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes offering to pay fees and expenses of approximately $5.1 million related to the offering and pay fees and expenses of $1.1 million related to amending our Credit Agreement. In connection with the issuance, during the second quarter of 2021, we completed the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes, paying $300.0 million to retire the outstanding principal amount plus $7.3 million as a redemption premium. The remaining cash proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including repaying all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings. The $5.1 million of fees and expenses related to the 2029 Senior Notes were capitalized as debt issuance costs, while the $7.3 million redemption premium as well as approximately $3.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2025 Senior Notes were recorded as expense within debt financing and related expenses in the accompanying statement of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The 2029 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, commencing October 15, 2021. The payment of principal and interest is jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company (each a "Guarantor" and collectively the "Guarantors"). The 2029 Senior Notes are pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Prior to April 15, 2024, we may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 104.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings provided that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such equity offering. In addition, prior to April 15, 2024, we may redeem all or part of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a "make whole" premium.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our consolidated subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2029 Senior Notes represented approximately 28% of the total of guarantor and non-guarantor net sales, treating each as a consolidated group and excluding intercompany transactions between guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, our non-guarantor subsidiaries represented approximately 37% and 49% of the total guarantor and non-guarantor assets and liabilities, respectively, as of June 30, 2021, treating the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries each as a consolidated group.

In March 2021, we amended our Credit Agreement in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes to extend the maturity date. We incurred fees and expenses of approximately $1.1 million related to the amendment, all of which were capitalized as debt issuance costs. We also recorded approximately $0.2 million of non-cash expense related to the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing fees. The Credit Agreement consists of a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which permits borrowings denominated in specific foreign currencies, subject to a $125.0 million sub limit, maturing on March 29, 2026 and is subject to interest at London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.50%. The interest rate spread is based upon the leverage ratio, as defined, as of the most recent determination date.

The Credit Agreement provides for incremental revolving credit commitments in an amount not to exceed the greater of $200.0 million and an amount such that, after giving effect to such incremental commitments and the incurrence of any other indebtedness substantially simultaneously with the making of such commitments, the senior secured net leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. The terms and conditions of any incremental revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the existing credit facility.

Table of Contents

Amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility fluctuate daily based upon our working capital and other ordinary course needs. Availability under our revolving credit facility depends upon, among other things, compliance with our Credit Agreement's financial covenants. Our Credit Agreement contains various negative and affirmative covenants and other requirements affecting us and our subsidiaries, including the ability to, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, incur debt, liens, mergers, investments, loans, advances, guarantee obligations, acquisitions, asset dispositions, sale-leaseback transactions, hedging agreements, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements and amendments to charters, bylaws, and other material documents. The terms of our Credit Agreement require us and our subsidiaries to meet certain restrictive financial covenants and ratios computed quarterly, including a maximum total net leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness plus outstanding amounts under the accounts receivable securitization facility, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined), a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio (total consolidated senior secured indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA, as defined, over the sum of consolidated cash interest expense, as defined, and preferred dividends, as defined). Our permitted total net leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement is 4.00 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2021. If we were to complete an acquisition which qualifies for a Covenant Holiday Period, as defined in our Credit Agreement, then our permitted total net leverage ratio cannot exceed 4.50 to 1.00 during that period. Our actual total net leverage ratio was 1.79 to 1.00 at June 30, 2021. Our permitted interest expense coverage ratio under the Credit Agreement is 3.00 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2021. Our actual interest expense coverage ratio was 12.83 to 1.00 at June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.

Our revolving credit facility allows for the issuance of letters of credit, not to exceed $40.0 million in aggregate. We placed restricted cash on deposit with a financial institution to be held as cash collateral for our outstanding letters of credit; therefore, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no letters of credit issued against our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2021, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and had approximately $300.0 million available after giving effect to letters of credit issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2020, we had $50.5 million amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and had approximately $249.5 million available after giving effect to letters of credit issued and outstanding. Our letters of credit, or corresponding restricted cash deposits, are used for a variety of purposes, including support of certain operating lease agreements, vendor payment terms and other subsidiary operating activities, and to meet various states' requirements to self-insure workers' compensation claims, including incurred but not reported claims. Our borrowing capacity was not reduced by leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

We rely upon our cash flow from operations and available liquidity under our revolving credit facility to fund our debt service obligations and other contractual commitments, working capital and capital expenditure requirements. At the end of each quarter, we have historically used cash on hand from our domestic and foreign subsidiaries to pay down amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility, as applicable.

Our weighted average borrowings during the first six months of 2021 approximated $403.7 million, compared to approximately $413.6 million during the first six months of 2020. In March 2020, we proactively drew $150 million on our revolving credit facility to ensure availability of cash on hand given the potential uncertainty surrounding the financial markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We repaid the $150 million during second quarter 2020.

In May 2021, we, through one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, entered into a revolving loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $4 million. The facility is guaranteed by TriMas Corporation. There were no borrowings on this loan facility during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Cash management related to our revolving credit facility is centralized. We monitor our cash position and available liquidity on a daily basis and forecast our cash needs on a weekly basis within the current quarter and on a monthly basis outside the current quarter over the remainder of the year. Our business and related cash forecasts are updated monthly.

In considering the economic uncertainty surrounding the potential business impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to our operations, supply chains, distribution channels, and end-market customers, we have taken certain defensive actions as we monitor our cash position and available liquidity. These actions have included suspending our repurchase of our common stock, borrowing on our revolving credit facility, tightening our capital expenditures, advanced monitoring of our accounts receivable balances and flexing cost structures of operations expected to be most impacted by COVID-19. Given strong cash generation and our current liquidity position, we have subsequently relaxed certain of these actions, choosing to further invest in capital expenditures for our businesses and resume purchasing shares of our common stock.

The majority of our cash on hand as of June 30, 2021 is located within the U.S., and given available funding under our revolving credit facility of $300.0 million at June 30, 2021 (after consideration of the aforementioned leverage restrictions) and based on forecasted cash sources and requirements inherent in our business plans, we believe that our liquidity and capital resources, including anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our debt service, capital expenditure and other short-term and long-term obligations for the foreseeable future.

We are subject to variable interest rates on our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2021, 1-Month LIBOR approximated 0.10%. At June 30, 2021, we had no amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility and, therefore, no variable rate-based borrowings outstanding.

Table of Contents

In addition to our long-term debt, we have other cash commitments related to leases. We account for these lease transactions as operating leases, and annual rent expense for continuing operations related thereto approximated $9.4 million in 2020. We expect leasing will continue to be an available financing option to fund future capital expenditure requirements.

In March 2020, we announced our Board of Directors had authorized us to increase the purchase of our common stock up to $250 million in the aggregate, an increase of $100 million from the prior authorization. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we purchased 358,047 and 440,218 shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.6 million and $14.2 million, respectively. Since the initial authorization through June 30, 2021 we have purchased 3,694,949 shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $102.5 million. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to return capital to shareholders through the purchase of our common stock, depending on market conditions, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors.

Market Risk

We conduct business in various locations throughout the world and are subject to market risk due to changes in the value of foreign currencies. The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are primarily the local currency in the country of domicile. We manage these operating activities at the local level and revenues and costs are generally denominated in local currencies; however, results of operations and assets and liabilities reported in U.S. dollars will fluctuate with changes in exchange rates between such local currencies and the U.S. dollar.

We use derivative financial instruments to manage currency risks associated with our procurement activities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries and the impact of currency rate volatility on our earnings. As of June 30, 2021, we were party to foreign exchange forward and swap contracts to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates with notional amounts of approximately $126.5 million. We also use cross-currency swap agreements to mitigate currency risks associated with the net investment in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. See Note 10, "Derivative Instruments," included in Part 1, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements," within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

We are also subject to interest risk as it relates to our long-term debt. See Note 9, "Long-term Debt," included in Part 1, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements," within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Common Stock

TriMas is listed in the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Our stock trades under the symbol "TRS."

Credit Rating

We and certain of our outstanding debt obligations are rated by Standard & Poor's and Moody's. On March 24, 2021, Moody's assigned a Ba3 rating to our 2029 Senior Notes. See Note 9, "Long-term Debt" included in Part I, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Moody's also affirmed a Ba2 Corporate Family Rating and maintained its outlook as stable. On March 15, 2021, Standard & Poor's assigned a BB- rating to our 2029 Senior Notes. On February 26, 2021, Standard & Poor's affirmed a BB corporate credit rating and maintained its outlook as stable. If our credit ratings were to decline, our ability to access certain financial markets may become limited, our cost of borrowings may increase, the perception of us in the view of our customers, suppliers and security holders may worsen and as a result, we may be adversely affected.

Outlook

It has now been more than one year since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has significantly affected each of our businesses and how we operate, albeit in different ways and magnitudes. Sales in our Packaging segment for dispensing and closure products we supply that are used in applications to fight the spread of germs continue to be much stronger than before the pandemic, although, as expected, have declined from peak levels in second quarter 2020 at the onset of the pandemic. Sales in our Specialty Products segment have been depressed by low levels of industrial activity in the U.S., but began to rebound in second quarter 2021. Sales in our Aerospace segment are expected to be lower than historical levels for an indefinite period as a result of low new commercial aircraft builds, but have been boosted by a customer's stocking orders during the first half of 2021.

We believe our financial results demonstrate our ability to effectively leverage our TriMas Business Model, working across our businesses with a high degree of connectivity to respond to changing market conditions, including the ongoing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have capitalized on opportunities where market demand was high, while also taking swift actions where market demand was sharply reduced. We have continued to take proactive realignment actions to mitigate the effects of lower demand from the pandemic as much as practical.

While we experienced increased sales levels during second quarter 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, we believe there will be a continued period of uncertainty related to demand levels for our other products, whether it be when new aircraft builds will ramp-up that require our fasteners or engineered products or whether industrial demand will continue to improve toward pre-pandemic levels. We expect to continue to mitigate, as much as practical, the impact of low volumes in the most challenged end markets, executing realignment actions as necessary so we are positioned to gain operating leverage when these end markets recover. We believe we remain well positioned to capitalize on the recovery of the aerospace and industrial markets, as well as available market growth opportunities. We believe the continued effectiveness of vaccines, as well as continued measures intended to control the spread of the virus and future variants thereof, are among the most significant factors that could impact demand for our products.

As a result of continued uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and their potential impact to our future results of operations, as well as to TriMas' market capitalization, we may record additional cash and non-cash charges related to further realignment actions, as well for uncollectible customer account balances, excess inventory and idle production equipment. At this time, we are not able to estimate the extent or amount of any such potential cash and non-cash charges.

Following the issuance of our 2029 Senior Notes and amending our Credit Agreement, we believe our capital structure remains strong and that we have sufficient headroom under our financial covenants, and ample cash and available liquidity under our revolving credit facility, to meet our debt service, capital expenditure and other short-term and long-term obligations for the foreseeable future.

We expect to continue to leverage the tenets of our TriMas Business Model to manage our multi-industry businesses and address the ongoing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, and on a longer-term basis, achieve our growth plans, execute continuous improvement initiatives to offset inflationary pressures, and seek lower-cost sources for input costs, all while continuously assessing the appropriateness of our manufacturing footprint and fixed-cost structure.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

See Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements," included in Part 1, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements," within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions used in calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, our evaluation of business and macroeconomic trends, and information from other outside sources, as appropriate.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, there were no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We are also subject to interest risk as it relates to long-term debt. See Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," for details about our primary market risks, and the objectives and strategies used to manage these risks. Also see Note 9, "Long-term Debt," and Note 10, "Derivative Instruments," in Part I, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements," included within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of June 30, 2021, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that they will meet their objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2021, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that they would meet their objectives.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have required certain employees, some of whom are involved in the operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, to work from home. Despite this change, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to minimize any impact it may have on their design and operating effectiveness.
