(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation
TriMas Corporation ("TriMas" or the "Company"), and its consolidated subsidiaries, designs, engineers and manufactures innovative products under leading brand names for customers primarily in the consumer products, aerospace & defense, and industrial markets.
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”) as well as input cost inflation, supply chain disruptions, and shortages in global markets for commodities, logistics and labor. 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ASU 2021-10 is effective for annual filings in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted.

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 consolidated statement of income.
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. The payment of principal and interest is jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company. 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 second quarter of 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
In March 2021, the Company amended its existing 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.
In November 2021, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with a benchmark interest rate determined based on the currency denomination of borrowings. Effective January 1, 2022, the amendment replaced the reference rate terms for U.S. dollar LIBOR borrowings to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), British pound sterling LIBOR borrowings to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") and Euro LIBOR borrowings to the Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), all plus a spread of 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 December 31, 2021, the Company had no letters of credit issued against its revolving credit facility. See Note 6, "Cash and Cash Equivalents," for further information on its cash deposit. At June 30, 2022, the Company had no amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $295.1 million potentially available after giving effect to approximately $4.9 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2021, the Company had no amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $300.0 million potentially available. The Company's borrowing capacity was not reduced by leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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, 2022, 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 outstanding on this loan facility as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Fair Value of Debt
The valuations of the Senior Notes and revolving credit facility were determined based on Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as defined. The carrying amounts and fair values were as follows (dollars in thousands):

11. 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, 2022, 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 October 15, 2023 and October 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, 2022, the Company was party to foreign currency exchange forward contracts to economically hedge changes in foreign currency rates with notional amounts of approximately $130.4 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, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and the Mexican peso, as well as between the Euro and British pound, and have various settlement dates through December 2022. 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 income.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Asbestos
As of June 30, 2022, the Company was a party to 425 pending cases involving an aggregate of 4,796 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:

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 20214,655 265 134 32 4,754 $16,819 $1,950,000 
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 4,796 claims pending at June 30, 2022, 45 set forth specific amounts of damages (other than those stating the statutory minimum or maximum). At June 30, 2022, of the 45 claims that set forth specific amounts, there were zero claims 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—342
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 30 years ago, have been approximately $10.6 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.
The Company records a liability for asbestos-related claims, which includes both known and unknown claims, 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.

TRIMAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(unaudited)
In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company commissioned its actuary to update the study, based on data as of September 30, 2021, which yielded a range of possible future liability of $28.2 million to $38.6 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 $1.5 million to increase the liability estimate to $28.2 million, at the low-end of the range. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s total asbestos-related liability is $26.3 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.
15. Segment Information
TriMas reports its operations in three segments: Packaging, Aerospace, and Specialty Products.

Restricted Stock Units
The Company awarded the following restricted stock units ("RSUs") during the six months ended June 30, 2022:
•granted 195,398 RSUs to certain employees, which are subject only to a service condition and vest ratably over three years so long as the employee remains with the Company;
•granted 22,554 RSUs to its non-employee independent directors, which fully vest one year from date of grant so long as the director and/or Company does not terminate the director's service prior to the vesting date;
•issued 337 RSUs related to director fee deferrals as certain of the Company's directors elected to defer all or a portion of their directors fees and to receive the amount in Company common stock at a future date; and
•issued 126 RSUs to certain employees related to dividend equivalent rights on existing equity awards.
During 2022, the Company also awarded 85,156 performance-based RSUs to certain Company key employees which vest three years from the grant date as long as the employee remains with the Company. These awards are earned 50% based upon the Company's achievement of an earnings per share compound annual growth rate ("EPS CAGR") metric over a period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2024. The remaining 50% of the awards are earned based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of the common stock of a pre-defined industry peer-group, measured over the performance period. 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 1.88% and annualized volatility of 36.5%. 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 2019, the Company attained 65.4% of the target on a weighted average basis, resulting in a decrease of 24,975 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

20. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 25.5% and (0.3)%, respectively. The rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is higher than in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the recognition of approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax benefits in Italy during the three months ended June 30, 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021 was 24.2% and 11.8%, respectively. The rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is higher than in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the recognition of approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax benefits in Italy during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the majority of which related to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities in connection with certain tax incentives.
21. Subsequent Events
On July 21, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per share of TriMas Corporation common stock, which will be payable on August 11, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 4, 2022.
On July 26, 2022, the Company initiated steps to terminate all of its existing $250 million notional amount cross-currency swaps, as well as to enter into new cross-currency swaps with notional amounts totaling $150 million which are subject to various contract periods through 2024. The Company expects to receive cash proceeds from the termination of the swaps of approximately $27 million.

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, 2021.

Introduction
TriMas designs, develops and manufactures a diverse set of products primarily for the consumer products, aerospace & defense and industrial markets through its TriMas Packaging, TriMas Aerospace and Specialty Products groups. 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.
Over the past two years, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") 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 used in applications to fight the spread of germs experienced significant increases in demand, while sales of our industrial and aerospace-related products were significantly depressed from historical levels. Our aerospace-related product sales continue to be depressed while industrial product sales have recovered to pre-pandemic levels. The pandemic has also led to increased uncertainty and inflation in the global business environment, and we have experienced increases in input costs (raw materials, wage rates, energy and freight), supply chain disruptions and delays, as well as labor availability challenges, all pressuring our ability to operate efficiently and at the margin levels previously experienced.
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. 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. While these increased costs and inefficiencies began in second quarter 2020, they continue to persist into 2022. We expect that we will continue to operate with these protocols in place, and that labor-related availability and inefficiencies will be an ongoing challenge.
We continue to actively monitor the spread of certain variants of the virus, and plan for potential future impacts. While conditions related to the pandemic generally have improved compared to 2021, we anticipate conditions will continue to vary by industry as well as geography. Late in first quarter 2022, and continuing in second quarter, an increase of COVID-19 related cases in certain parts of China resulted in widespread shut-downs and restrictions (in light of China's zero-covid policy), including the re-institution of stay-at-home and quarantine mandates. While these restrictions have not yet had a significant impact on our overall financial results, and started to ease in June 2022, further restrictions could have a more significant impact in the second half of 2022 and beyond.
Overall, our second quarter 2022 net sales increased approximately $18.7 million, or 8.5%, compared to second quarter 2021, primarily as a result of increased industrial demand in our Specialty Products segment, the impact of our recent acquisitions in our Packaging and Aerospace segments and increased sales of products used in food and beverage markets and industrial markets within our Packaging segment. These factors more than offset unfavorable currency exchange and the expected decline in sales of our Packaging segment's dispensing and closure products that are used in applications to fight the spread of germs, which reached record-high levels in 2020 and first half of 2021 when there was a significant spike in demand following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but now have abated to what we believe is a new, and higher, normalized level.

Table of Contents
The most significant drivers affecting our results of operations in second quarter 2022 compared with second quarter 2021, other than as directly impacted by demand level changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, were the impact of our recent acquisitions, our continued realignment actions in response to reduced certain end-market demand following the outbreak of COVID-19, the impact of higher energy costs, the refinancing of our long-term debt agreements in 2021, and an increase in our effective tax rate primarily as a result of the recognition of deferred tax benefits in Italy in second quarter 2021.
In February 2022, we acquired Intertech Plastics LLC and related companies (collectively, "Intertech"), a manufacturer of custom injection molded products used in medical applications, as well as products and assemblies for consumer and industrial applications, for an aggregate amount of approximately $64.1 million, net of cash acquired. Intertech, which is reported in the Company's Packaging segment, has two manufacturing facilities located in the Denver, Colorado area. Intertech contributed approximately $8.8 million of net sales during second quarter 2022.
In December 2021, we completed the acquisition of Omega Plastics ("Omega"), which specializes in manufacturing custom components and devices for drug delivery, diagnostic and orthopedic medical applications, as well as components for industrial applications, for an aggregate amount of approximately $22.5 million, net of cash acquired. Omega, which is reported in the Company's Packaging segment, is located in Clinton Township, Michigan. Omega contributed approximately $5.6 million of net sales during second quarter 2022.
In December 2021, we acquired TFI Aerospace ("TFI"), a manufacturer and supplier of specialty fasteners used in a variety of applications, predominately for the aerospace end market, for an aggregate amount of approximately $11.8 million, with additional contingent consideration ranging from zero to approximately $12.0 million to be paid based on 2023 and 2024 earnings per the purchase agreement. TFI, which is reported in the Company's Aerospace segment, is located near Toronto, Canada. TFI contributed approximately $1.4 million of net sales during second quarter 2022.
Beginning in second quarter 2020, we have been executing certain realignment actions in response to current and expected future end market demand following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as for the move to our new facility in New Albany, Ohio. We recorded pre-tax facility move/consolidation and employee-related costs of approximately $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2022. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded pre-tax facility consolidation and employee separation costs of approximately $0.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
We also experienced a significant increase in the cost of energy in second quarter 2022 compared with second quarter 2021, primarily in our Europe-based operations. Energy costs began to rise during late 2021, and have further increased into 2022, which we believe is primarily due to geopolitical tensions associated with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as realized and expected energy supply constraints. We expect there could be additional cost and supply chain pressures going forward in 2022 as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the conflict in Eastern Europe.
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.
Our effective tax rate in second quarter 2022 was 25.5%, compared to (0.3)% in second quarter of 2021. The rate for the second quarter 2022 is higher primarily as a result of the recognition of approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax benefits in Italy in second quarter 2021, 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 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. 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.

Table of Contents
Despite the potential for declines in future demand levels and results of operations, at present, we believe our capital structure is in a strong position. We have sufficient 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 and acceptance 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 chain 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; and our ability to absorb, or recover via commercial actions, inflationary or other cost increases.
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 2021 and 2022 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.
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. If input costs increase at rapid rates, as they did during 2021, our ability to recover cost increases on a timely basis is made more difficult by the lag nature of these contracts.
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 2022, we purchased 645,984 shares of our outstanding common stock for approximately $18.8 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $114.7 million remaining under the repurchase authorization.

In addition, in second quarter 2022, we declared dividends of $0.04 per share of common stock and we paid dividends of $1.7 million. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to return capital to shareholders through the purchase of our common stock, as well as dividends, depending on market conditions and other factors.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Overall, net sales increased approximately $18.7 million, or 8.5%, to $237.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with $219.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of our Intertech, Omega and TFI acquisitions, which collectively added approximately $15.8 million of sales. Organic sales, excluding the impact of currency exchange and acquisitions, increased approximately $7.7 million, as increases in our Specialty Products segment as well as for food and beverage and industrial products in our Packaging segment were partially offset by declines in dispensing products that help fight the spread of germs in our Packaging segment, as demand for these products abated from peak levels in 2020 and the first half of 2021. In addition, net sales decreased by approximately $4.8 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were unfavorably impacted as a result of a strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.
Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 25.5% and 26.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross profit margin decreased due to a less favorable sales mix, primarily as a result of lower sales of Aerospace segment customers' stocking orders for highly-engineered fasteners during the three months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, improved recovery of resin costs in our Packaging segment was offset by higher energy costs, primarily in our Packaging segment's European facilities, higher steel costs in our Specialty Products segment, and unfavorable currency exchange.
Operating profit margin (operating profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 12.6% and 11.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating profit increased approximately $4.3 million to approximately $29.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, from approximately $25.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher sales levels, improved recovery of resin costs and approximately $2.7 million of lower realignment costs. These increases were partially offset by a less favorable product sales mix and higher energy and steel costs, as well as unfavorable currency exchange.
Interest expense decreased approximately $0.6 million, to approximately $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to a lower effective interest rate and a decrease in our weighted average borrowings.
In the three months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred approximately $10.3 million of debt financing and related expenses associated with the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes.
Other income decreased approximately $0.4 million to approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to lower foreign currency transactions gains.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 25.5% and (0.3)%, respectively. We recorded income tax expense of approximately $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to nominal income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is higher than in the prior year period, primarily as a result of recognizing approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax benefits in Italy during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the majority of which related to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities in connection with certain tax incentives.
Net income increased approximately $8.0 million, to $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of a decrease in debt financing and related expenses of $10.3 million, an increase in operating profit of approximately $4.3 million, and a decrease in interest expense of $0.6 million, partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of approximately $6.8 million and a decrease in other income of approximately $0.4 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $27.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to approximately $42.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. 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, 2022, the Company generated approximately $73.1 million in cash flows, based on the reported net income of approximately $34.0 million and after considering the effects of non-cash items related to depreciation, amortization, loss on dispositions of assets, changes in deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation and other operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company generated approximately $72.3 million in cash flows based on the reported net income of approximately $24.9 million and after considering the effects of similar non-cash items and debt financing and related expenses.
•Increases in accounts receivable resulted in a use of cash of approximately $29.4 million and $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 increased approximately four days through the six months ended June 30, 2022 , and remained relatively consistent through the six months ended June 30, 2021.
•We increased our investment in inventory by approximately $7.9 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the first half of 2022 is primarily a result of proactively investing in certain raw materials and purchased components to protect against supply chain disruptions.
•Decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets resulted in a source of cash of approximately $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. 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. These changes were primarily a result of the timing of payments made for income taxes and certain operating expenses.
•A decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in a use of cash of approximately $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, while 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. Days accounts payable on hand decreased by one day through the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with a decrease of approximately two days in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our days accounts payable on hand fluctuate primarily as a result of the timing of payments made to suppliers and the mix of vendors and related terms.
Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $85.7 million and $18.2 million, respectively. During the first six months of 2022, we invested approximately $21.7 million in capital expenditures, as we continued our investment in growth, capacity and productivity-related capital projects, and paid approximately $64.1 million, net of cash acquired, to acquire Intertech. During the first six months of 2021, we invested approximately $18.3 million in capital expenditures.
Net cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $33.6 million, while net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we purchased approximately $27.9 million of outstanding common stock, used a net cash amount of approximately $2.3 million related to our stock compensation arrangements and paid dividends of approximately $3.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we issued $400.0 million principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes, made net repayments of approximately $48.6 million on our revolving credit facilities, and redeemed $300.0 million principal amount of the 2025 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.

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, 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 consolidated statement of operations.
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. The payment of principal and interest is jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company. 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, 2022, our consolidated subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2029 Senior Notes represented approximately 25% 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 36% and 13% of the total guarantor and non-guarantor assets and liabilities, respectively, as of June 30, 2022, 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.
In November 2021, we amended the Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with a benchmark interest rate determined based on the currency denomination of borrowings. Effective January 1, 2022, the amendment replaced the reference rate terms for U.S. dollar LIBOR borrowings to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), British pound sterling LIBOR borrowings to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") and Euro LIBOR borrowings to the Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), all plus a spread of 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.

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) 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, 2022. 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 1.99 to 1.00 at June 30, 2022. Our permitted interest expense coverage ratio under the Credit Agreement is 3.00 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2022. Our actual interest expense coverage ratio was 14.39 to 1.00 at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.
The following is a reconciliation of net income, as reported, which is a GAAP measure of our operating results, to Consolidated Bank EBITDA, as defined in our Credit Agreement, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 (dollars in thousands). We present Consolidated Bank EBITDA to show our performance under 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 December 31, 2021, we had no letters of credit issued against our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2022, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and had $295.1 million potentially available after giving effect to approximately $4.9 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2021, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and had $300.0 million potentially available. 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
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 2022 approximated $400.1 million, compared to approximately $403.7 million during the first six months of 2021, primarily due to a higher aggregate principal balance on our senior notes due to the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes and the redemption of the 2025 Senior Notes during the first half of 2021.
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 as of June 30, 2022.
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.
While more than half of our cash on hand as of June 30, 2022 is located outside the U.S., given available funding under our revolving credit facility of $300.0 million at June 30, 2022 (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, as well as dividends and share repurchases.

We are subject to variable interest rates on our revolving credit facility, which is subject to a benchmark interest rate determined based on the currency denomination of borrowings. At June 30, 2022, we had no amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility and, therefore, no variable rate-based borrowings outstanding.
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 $11.0 million in 2021. 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, 2022, we purchased 645,984 and 927,987 shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18.8 million and $27.9 million, respectively. Since the initial authorization through June 30, 2022, we have purchased 4,778,802 shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $135.3 million. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to return capital to shareholders through the purchase of our common stock and the payment of dividends, 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, 2022, we were party to foreign exchange forward and swap contracts to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates with notional amounts of approximately $130.4 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 11, "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 10, "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 29, 2022, Moody's affirmed a Ba3 rating to our 2029 Senior Notes. See Note 10, "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 May 12, 2022, Standard & Poor's affirmed a BB- rating to our 2029 Senior Notes. Standard & Poor also 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
We believe our second quarter 2022 financial results continue to 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, whether they be related to the COVID-19 pandemic, volatile commodity costs or the supply chain and energy cost impacts from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. 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 external pressures as much as practical, while at the same time growing our businesses through organic new products as well as via bolt-on acquisitions.

Table of Contents
Looking forward, we believe there will be a continued period of uncertainty related to demand levels for our products, whether it be if production rates for new aircraft builds, which require our fasteners and engineered products, will continue to increase as we experienced in the second quarter of 2022, or whether general industrial activity will continue to its upward trajectory through the balance of the year. 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 market, just as we have with the improvement in the industrial markets, as well as capture available market growth opportunities.
Following our recent acquisitions, we continue to believe our capital structure remains strong and that we have sufficient headroom under our financial covenants, and sufficient 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 at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter, as well as dividends and share repurchases.
We expect to continue to leverage the tenets of our TriMas Business Model to manage our multi-industry businesses 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, 2022, 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, 2021.

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 10, "Long-term Debt," and Note 11, "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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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, 2022 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.
