• Packaging margins expanded to 14.8% despite essentially flat sales, and management expects sequential margin improvement in the third quarter as resin-cost recovery improves and the Atkins facility consolidation generates additional savings. Food and beverage sales were temporarily disrupted by the consolidation, while beauty and personal care is expected to normalize in the second half.
• Specialty Products’ sales increased 10.2% on strong Norris Cylinder demand, but operating margin fell to 2.2% from 4.4% because of temporary labor, overtime, overhead, and production inefficiencies. Management is resizing staffing and improving scheduling, but now expects full-year margins of only 6%–8% despite raising sales-growth guidance to 6%–9%.
• TriMas ended the quarter with more than $1.2 billion of cash and $846 million of net cash, while repurchasing $175 million of shares since the aerospace divestiture.
