TriMas Announces Increased Share Repurchase Authorization to $150 Million

TriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced that its Board of Directors increased the Company’s common stock share repurchase authorization to $150 million. The previous authorization, approved in February 2019, authorized up to $75 million in share repurchases.

“This increase demonstrates our continued confidence in our ability to grow and generate strong cash flow, and our commitment to deliver value to our shareholders,” said Thomas Amato, TriMas President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our capital allocation priorities remain to invest in projects to grow our businesses through innovation and strategic acquisitions, and to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases, all while maintaining a strong balance sheet.”

Since initiating share repurchases under this program in May 2018, the Company has purchased approximately 1.2 million shares, or 2.6%, of its outstanding common stock, for $33.2 million through September 2019. At the end of the third quarter, the Company had $41.8 million remaining under its existing share repurchase authorization. The increased share repurchase authorization of up to $150 million includes the value of shares already repurchased under the previous authorization.

The extent to which TriMas repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, share price, regulatory requirements, other available uses of capital and other corporate considerations. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
