Opening Remarks • 2015 sales of approximately $864 million – significant external headwinds – Organic initiatives and acquisition growth were able to offset impact of lower oil prices and currency during first nine months of 2015 – Energy-facing and industrial markets weakened in Q4, resulting in 14% sales decline in Q4, and nearly 3% sales decline for 2015 • Achieved 2015 EPS(1) of $1.29 – high-end of previously provided guidance range • Achieved Free Cash Flow(2) of $50.8 million – within previously provided guidance range • Improved operating profit margin(1), despite top-line pressure, driven by Aerospace improvements and reduction in corporate expense • Increased Financial Improvement Plan to offset impact of continued top-line weakness 4 Continue to implement actions to mitigate external headwinds and drive improved performance. (1) Defined as diluted earnings per share and operating profit margin from continuing operations, excluding “Special Items.” “Special Items” are provided in the Appendix. (2) Free Cash Flow is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of Continuing Operations, excluding the cash impact of the Financial Improvement Plan, less Capital Expenditures.


 
External Headwinds and Tailwinds Headwinds • Macroeconomic conditions ‒ Industrial activity continues to slow ‒ Interest rate environment • Low oil and commodity prices ‒ Drilling and well completion activity ‒ Capex deferrals and reductions ‒ Resin and specialty steel prices • Inventory reductions at distributors ‒ Large aerospace distributors ‒ Overall supply chain reductions • Strength of U.S. dollar – Translation and transaction impacts – Exports in Engineered Components – Imports more competitive 5 Tailwinds • Commercial aircraft build rates and backlog – expect slight increase in 2016, with greater growth in 2017 • Asia still growing, albeit at lower rates – Uncertainty around China • Consumer spend remains solid – outpacing economic conditions Continued pressure on the top-line and margin – ongoing actions to mitigate.


 
Financial Improvement Plan Update • Recently increased target from $15 million to $22 million of annual savings on a full run-rate basis as top-line pressures intensified in fourth quarter • Includes reductions in fixed overhead and SG&A costs – all businesses and corporate included • Recognized savings of approximately $3.5 million during fourth quarter 2015 • Expect to realize incremental savings each quarter throughout 2016 – expected to help mitigate the impact of top-line weakness • Continue to evaluate throughout the year in response to top-line and conversion pressures • Focused on improving free cash flow conversion – targeting 100% of net income 6 Focused on the aspects of our business within our control.


 
Other Key Business Initiatives 7 Initiatives remain consistent to achieve profitable growth and increased margins – balancing short and long-term objectives. • Packaging – Leverage global, end market focused sales force to drive incremental sales – Add lower-cost capacity to support global customers and growth • Aerospace – Leverage one aerospace platform – Achieve growth and cost synergies from acquisitions • Energy – Restructure global footprint and supply chain – Improve operational efficiency at all locations • Engineered Components – Continue to expand product lines for diversification – Expand long-term cylinder capacity to capitalize on North American market position


 
Financial Highlights


 
Fourth Quarter Summary • Q4 sales declined 13.7% as compared to Q4 2014 – increased weakness in the energy-facing and industrial end markets and unfavorable currency exchange more than offset organic initiatives and the results of acquisitions • Q4 operating profit dollars and margin percentage decreased as the impact of reduced sales and the related lower fixed cost absorption more than offset the positive impact of the Financial Improvement Plan, reductions in corporate expense and productivity initiatives • Income and diluted EPS both decreased due to lower operating profit and higher tax rate • Achieved Free Cash Flow(2) and EPS as planned • Total debt decreased as compared to Q4 2014 – used the cash distribution from Horizon Global in conjunction with the spin-off of the Cequent businesses to reduce outstanding borrowings 9 (1) “Special Items” for each period are provided in the Appendix. (2) Free Cash Flow is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of Continuing Operations, excluding the cash impact of the Financial Improvement Plan, less Capital Expenditures. (Dollars in millions, except per share amounts) Achieved EPS as planned, despite intensified top-line pressures from external headwinds.
