Forward-Looking Statements
This report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 about our financial condition, results of operations and business. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “target,” “plan” or other comparable words, or by discussions of strategy that may involve risks and uncertainties.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results including, but not limited to: the severity and duration of the ongoing corona viruscoronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our operations, customers and suppliers, as well as related actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response, each of which is uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict; general economic and currency conditions; material and energy costs; risks and uncertainties associated with intangible assets, including goodwill or other intangible asset impairment charges; competitive factors; future trends; our ability to realize our business strategies; our ability to identify attractive acquisition candidates, successfully integrate acquired operations or realize the intended benefits of such acquisitions; information technology and other cyber-related risks; the performance of our subcontractors and suppliers; supply constraints; market demand; intellectual property factors; litigation; government and regulatory actions, including, without limitation, climate change legislation and other environmental regulations, as well as the impact of tariffs, quotas and surcharges; our leverage; liabilities imposed by our debt instruments; labor disputes; changes to fiscal and tax policies; contingent liabilities relating to acquisition activities; the disruption of operations from catastrophic or extraordinary events, including natural disasters orand public health crises; the potential impact of Brexit; tax considerations relating to the Cequent spin-off; our future prospects; and other risks that are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 and elsewhere in this report. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this report are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations or cash flows.
The cautionary statements set forth above should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts' expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations implied by our forward-looking statements under Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this report. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributed to us or persons acting on our behalf. When we indicate that an event, condition or circumstance could or would have an adverse effect on us, we mean to include effects upon our business, financial and other conditions, results of operations, prospects and ability to service our debt.

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.
In the second quarter of 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 has been reflected as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies," for further information on this change.
In the first quarter of 2020, TriMas began reporting its machined components operations, located in Stanton, California and Tolleson, Arizona, as part of its Aerospace segment. The operations were previously reported in the Specialty Products segment. The move of these operations into TriMas Aerospace facilitates a more rapid approach to achieving anticipated synergies from the recent RSA Engineered Products ("RSA") acquisition, allowing the Company to better leverage the machining competencies and resources across its aerospace businesses. See Note 16, "Segment Information," for further information on each of the Company's reportable segments.
In addition, on December 20, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Lamons division (“Lamons”), a transaction entered into with an investment fund sponsored by First Reserve on November 1, 2019. Lamons was sold for approximately $135 million in cash. The financial results of Lamons were previously reported within the Company's Specialty Products segment, and are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the financial statements attached hereto. See Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," for further information on the sale of Lamons and its historical financial results.
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 also 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 a new strain 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, and certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASU 2019-12"), which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, simplifies the accounting for income taxes and provides clarification of certain aspects of current guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20)" ("ASU 2018-14"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers who sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2018-14 is to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"), which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure the amount of goodwill impairment. Instead, under ASU 2017-04, the goodwill impairment is the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020. See Note 8, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for further information on the Company's third quarter 2020 interim goodwill impairment assessment.
3. Discontinued Operations
On December 20, 2019, the Company completed the sale of Lamons to two wholly-owned subsidiaries of an investment fund sponsored by First Reserve, pursuant to an Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 1, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”), for a purchase price of $135 million, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price was finalized in the first quarter of 2020 and resulted in a $1.8 million payment to the Company.

See Note 11, "Long-term Debt," for further information on its credit agreement.
8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The Company assesses goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1, and more frequently if there are changes in the business climate or as a result of a triggering event taking place. During the third quarter of 2020, as a result of a decline in its aerospace-related business' financial results, a significant reduction in its financial projections for the remainder of 2020 compared with prior projections, and uncertainty around the duration and magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future financial results given their dependence on future levels of air travel and new aircraft builds, the Company determined there was a triggering event requiring an interim quantitative goodwill impairment assessment of each of its two aerospace-related reporting units: Aerospace Fasteners and Aerospace Engineered Products.
In preparing the quantitative analysis, the Company utilized both income and market-based approaches. The income-based approach was conducted using the discounted cash flow method, for which management updated its internal five-year forecast, and reflected its current best estimates of when, and at what level, a recovery of air travel, new aircraft builds, and resulting customer orders would occur and the related impact on each reporting unit's future sales, earnings and cash flows. Assumptions in estimating the future cash flows were based on Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The Company also selected appropriate terminal growth rates as well as discount rates, which considered various factors including the level of inherent risk in achieving the forecast based on prior history and current market conditions. The market-based approach considered potentially comparable publicly traded companies and transactions within the aerospace industry and applied their trading multiples to management's forecast estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(unaudited)
Upon completion of the quantitative goodwill impairment tests, the Company determined that the carrying values of the Aerospace Fasteners6. Goodwill and Aerospace Engineered Products reporting units exceeded their fair values, resulting goodwill impairment charges of approximately $70.8 million in its Aerospace Fasteners reporting unit and approximately $56.0 million in its Aerospace Engineered Products reporting unit during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020. Following the impairment charges, the Aerospace Fasteners reporting unit has $62.9 million of remaining goodwill, while the Aerospace Engineered Products reporting unit has 0 remaining goodwill. The Company notes that a 1% change in the discount rate would have impacted the total goodwill impairment charge by approximately $20 million, while a 0.5% change in the terminal growth rate would have impacted the total goodwill impairment charge by approximately $5 million. If the future financial results of the aerospace-related businesses significantly differ from the assumptions inherent in this analysis, the Company may be subject to further impairment charges.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company began reporting its machined components operations within the Aerospace segment. These operations were previously reported in the Company's Specialty Products segment. As a result of the reporting structure change, goodwill of approximately $12.7 million was reassigned from the Specialty Products segment to the Aerospace segment.Other Intangible Assets

Other Intangible Assets
As a result of the significant forecast reduction in the Company's aerospace-related businesses, the Company also performed an interim quantitative assessment for the indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Aerospace segment, using the relief-from-royalty method. Significant management assumptions used under the relief-from-royalty method reflected the Company's current assessment of the risks and uncertainties associated with the aerospace industry. Upon completion of the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined that certain of the Company's aerospace-related trade names had carrying values that exceeded their fair values, and therefore recorded impairment charges of approximately $7.8 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020.

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 4,6934,725 claims pending at SeptemberJune 30, 2020, 562021, 33 set forth specific amounts of damages (other than those stating the statutory minimum or maximum). At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, of the 5633 claims that set forth specific amounts, there were no claimswas one claim seeking specific amountsmore than $5 million for punitive damages. Below is a breakdown of the compensatory damages sought for those claims seeking specific amounts:

Number of claimsNumber of claims01046Number of claims0627
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 $9.9$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. In the past three years,From 2017 to 2019, however, the number of new claim filings, and costs to defend, havehad 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 has beenwas reflected as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. In connection with this second quarter 2020 change, the Company recorded a non-cash, pre-tax charge for asbestos-related costs of approximately $23.4 million, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
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 thea non-cash, pre-tax charge of $23.4 million chargein 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s total asbestos-related liability is $29.4$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.
While the Company recorded a significant non-cash charge in the six months ended June 30, 2020 in connection with its change in accounting policy, basedBased 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.

During 2020,2021, the Company awarded 113,14672,962 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, 20202021 and ending December 31, 2022.2023. 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 0.56%0.28% and annualized volatility of 26.2%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.
In addition, For similar performance-based RSUs awarded in 2018, the Company awarded 87,034 performance-based RSUs to certain Company key divisional employees which vest three years from the grant date as long as the employee remains with the Company. These awards are earned based upon the Company's stock price performance over the period from January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2022. The stock price achievement is calculated based on the Company's average closing stock price for each quarter end for the 20 trading days up to and including March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2022, respectively. 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 0.85% and annualized volatility of 25.2%. Depending on the performance achieved for this metric, the amount of shares earned if any, can vary from 0%attained 126.2% of the target award toon a maximum of 160% of the target award, although it automatically is earned at the target award level if the Company's stock price is equal to or greater than a specified stock price for either five consecutive trading days or 20 total trading days during the performance period.
During 2017, the Company awarded performance-based RSUs to certain Company key employees which were earned based upon the Company's TSR relative to the TSR of the common stock of a pre-defined industry peer-group and measured over a period beginning January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2019.

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, 2019.2020.
Introduction
We are a diversified global 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.
In December 2019, we completed the sale of our Lamons division ("Lamons"), a manufacturer and distributor of industrial sealing, fastening and specialty products primarily used in the petrochemical and petroleum-refining industries, to two wholly-owned subsidiaries of an investment fund sponsored by First Reserve. The sale of Lamons was an important strategic step for TriMas, in streamlining our portfolio of businesses, as it significantly reduced our exposure to the oil and gas market from over 20% of net sales in 2019 to less than 2% in third quarter 2020, and allowed us to further invest in our Packaging and Aerospace segments. We received net after-tax proceeds from the sale of approximately $110.9 million in 2019, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement which were finalized in the first quarter of 2020, resulting in a $1.8 million payment to us. The financial results of Lamons were previously reported within our Specialty Products segment. The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Lamons are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented through the date of disposition.
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 have 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 first quarter 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 productionmanufacturing inefficiencies relateddue to elevated levels of absenteeism, as well as have led toresulting in less efficient manufacturingproduction 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 third quarter and year-to-date results.results since early 2020.

Overall, our thirdsecond quarter 20202021 net sales increased approximately $19.4 million, or 9.7%,compared to thirdsecond quarter 2019,2020, primarily as a result of robust organic sales growthacquisitions in our Packaging segment particularly forand 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 andcontinue at very high levels, but, as expected, lower than second quarter 2020 levels when there was a result of acquisitions. These increases more than offset declinessignificant spike in sales in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments, primarily related todemand at the effectsonset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The most significant drivers of change inaffecting our results of operations and our financial position in thirdsecond quarter 2021 compared with second quarter 2020, compared with third quarter 2019, other than as directly impacted by demand level changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, were goodwill and intangible asset impairment chargesa change in accounting policy for asbestos-related defense costs in second quarter 2020, the refinancing of our Aerospace segment, andlong-term debt agreements in 2021, the impact of our recent acquisitions.
During the third quarter of 2020, we determined there was a triggering event requiring an interim quantitative impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets within our Aerospace segment. While third quarter operating results were below pre-pandemic projected levels, the larger driver of the triggering event was a significant reductionacquisitions, increases in the July financial projection update for the remainder of 2020 compared with prior projections, and uncertainty around the duration and magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future financial results given the dependence of our Aerospace segment reporting units on future levels of air travel and new aircraft builds. We determined the carrying value of both of our Aerospace reporting units, as well ascost of certain trade names, exceeded the fair value, resulting in non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges of approximately $126.8 million to goodwillraw materials, our realignment actions, and $7.8 million to indefinite lived intangible assets.
The techniques useda decrease in our interim impairment tests incorporatedeffective tax rate primarily as a numberresult of assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and to reflect the current market conditions. Assumptions in estimating future cash flows and earnings were based on Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy and were primarily related to customer demand and revenue growth, and associated profitability and cash flows, all as part of an aerospace industry recovery post-pandemic. Data from aerospace publications and public companies was used to assess the reasonableness of management’s assumptions regarding the timing and extent of the industry recovery. To provide a level of sensitivity analysis, a 1% change in the discount rate would have impacted the total goodwill impairment charge by approximately $20 million, while a 0.5% change in the terminal growth rate would have impacted the total goodwill impairment charge by approximately $5 million.
Changes in future results, assumptions, and estimates from the interim impairment test may lead to an outcome where additional impairment charges would be required in future periods. Specifically, actual results may vary from management's forecasts and such variations may be material and unfavorable, thereby triggering the need for future impairment tests where the conclusions may differ in reflection of prevailing market conditions. Further, continued adverse or worsening market conditions could result in the recognition of additional impairment if we determine that the fair valuedeferred tax benefits in Italy.

Table of our Aerospace Fasteners reporting unit has fallen below its carrying value. Certain circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and impact the estimated fair value of the Company’s Aerospace Fastener reporting unit may include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, due to the pandemic adversely impacting the aerospace industry longer or more deeply than currently estimated, (ii) inability to achieve the sales targeted as part of the Company’s strategic growth initiatives, and (iii) inability to efficiently leverage the projected sales growth at expected margin rates.Contents
In April 2020, we acquired the Rapak brand, including certain bag-in-box product lines and assets ("Rapak") for an aggregate amount of approximately $11.4 million. Rapak, which is reported in our Packaging segment, has three manufacturing locations in the United States. Rapak contributed approximately $4.9 million of net sales during the third quarter within our Packaging segment, although it is performing below break-even operating profit as demand for its products, particularly those used in quick service restaurant applications, has significantly declined from pre-acquisition levels in 2019 due to the impact of COVID-19.
In February 2020, we completed the acquisition of RSA Engineered Products ("RSA"), a provider of highly-engineered and proprietary components for air management systems used in critical flight applications, for an aggregate amount of approximately $83.7 million, net of cash acquired. RSA is located in Simi Valley, California and designs, engineers and manufactures highly-engineered components, including air ducting products, connectors and flexible joints, predominantly used in aerospace and defense engine bleed air, anti-icing and environmental control system applications. RSA contributed approximately $4.7 million of net sales during the third quarter within our Aerospace segment.
On a year-to-date basis, there were two additional significant drivers of year-over-year change in our results of operations. First, in the second quarter of 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 in second quarter 2020 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.

TableIn March 2021, we refinanced our long-term debt, issuing $400 million principal amount of Contents4.125% 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 addition, duringApril 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 and third quarters of 2021.
In December 2020, we undertookcompleted 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 primarily in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments, in response to reducedreductions in current and expected future end market demand following the outbreakonset of COVID-19. Wethe 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 in second quarter 2020 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 $2.3$2.2 million related to certain production equipment removed from service given reduced demand levels. In addition, welevels and reduced our employment levels given lower customer demand, incurring approximately $3.6$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
TheWe expect the COVID-19 pandemic impacted our third quarter results, and we expect it 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 that fightwill continue, as we believe there is a positive secular trend focused on consumers' desire to stop the spread of germs will continue.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. We believe industrialIndustrial demand in North America will continuewas lower in 2020 compared to be lower thanprevious levels, and while demand levels increased in 2019, andsecond quarter 2021, we are uncertain how and at what level demand will be impacted as many of the shelter-in-place ordersgovernmental, travel or other restrictions are adjusted or lifted, particularly in North America, where orders for our industrial cylinders, for example, are heavily influenced by the levels of construction and HVAC activity, which has yet to occur at historical levels during 2020.activity. We expect the aerospace market to continue to experience the most severe dislocation going forward.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 now significantly slowed production, and since late second quarter 2020 we have experienced a significant drop in aerospace-related sales related to new commercial airplane builds compared to prior year levels. We expect, this trendexcept 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 insince the second and third quarteronset of 2020,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 asif 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, and weeven more so following our 2021 debt refinancing. We have ample cash and available liquidity under our revolving credit facility sufficient 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 widespreadnormalized 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.

Our largest raw material purchases are for resins (such as polypropylene and polyethylene), steel, aluminum and other oil and metal-based purchased components. While material cost changes did not have a significant impact inIn addition to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019,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. As needed, we have taken actions, andWe 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.
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 TBM,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 first quarter 2020, our Board of Directors increased the authorization of share repurchases to a cumulative amount of $250 million. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,During second quarter 2021, we purchased 188,028 and 1,441,678358,047 shares of our outstanding common stock for approximately $4.5$11.6 million and $36.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we purchased 196,128 and 723,528 shares of our outstanding common stock for approximately $5.7 million and $21.1 million, respectively.
. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we havehad approximately $165.1$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.

Results of Operations
The principal factors impacting us during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, compared with the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, were:
approximately $134.6 million of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges in third quarter 2020 in our Aerospace segment, primarily as a result of lower current and expected future financial results due to uncertainty around the duration and magnitude of the impact on global business activity of the COVID-19 pandemic;
increasesa change in our Packaging segment's organic sales and related operating profit as a result of significantly higher demand, primarilyaccounting policy for our products usedasbestos-related defense costs in applications to help fight the spread of germs;second quarter 2020;
reduced sales and related profit withinthe impact of our Specialty Products and Aerospace reportable segments, primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; anddebt refinancing activities;
the impact of our recent acquisitions, primarily RSAAffaba & Ferrari in February 2020, and Rapak in April 2020.December 2020;
the impact of material cost increases, primarily resin-related;

the impact of our realignment actions; and
a decrease in our effective tax rate from the recognition of certain discrete tax items in second quarter 2021.

Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 Compared with Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020
Overall, net sales increased approximately $11.1$19.4 million, or 5.9%9.7%, to $199.5$219.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, as compared with $188.4$199.6 million in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, driven by our recent2020. Our acquisitions which contributedadded approximately $9.6$9.9 million of inorganic sales. Organic sales, excluding the impact of currency exchange and acquisitions, increased approximately $0.8$4.9 million, as sales increases of $24.1 millionin 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 dispenserresin-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 were mostly offsetdecreased by $16.1approximately $4.7 million, as demand in the second quarter of 2021, while still above historical levels, was lower salesthan demand in our Aerospace segment and $7.2 million in our Specialty Products segment, both primarily due to lower demand as a resultsecond quarter 2020, which we believe was at peak levels following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, netNet sales also increased by approximately $0.7$4.6 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were favorably impacted as a result of the strongerweakening 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.

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):

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 26.0%25.7% and 21.9% for each of the three month periodssix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019. While grossrespectively. Gross profit margin remained relatively flat, gross profit dollars increased as a resultprimarily due to the impact of higher sales within our Packaging segment, whichrealignment 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 lower gross profitan increase in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments as a resultmaterial costs in the first half of lower sales levels2021, primarily for resin-based materials. We estimate that due to the COVID-19 pandemic.lag in timing between incurring the material cost increases and recovering via commercial actions, our gross profit was negatively impacted by approximately $6 million.

Operating profit margin and dollars increased primarily as a result of a non-cash, pre-tax charge for asbestos-related costs of approximately $108.3$23.4 million in the three months ended September 30,second quarter of 2020 fromdue 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 operating profit ofincrease in material costs.
Interest expense decreased approximately $23.6$0.1 million, to $7.7 million, for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily a result of approximately $134.62021, as compared to $7.8 million of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges within our Aerospace segment infor the third quarter of 2020. In addition, increased operating profit in our Packaging segment, primarily due to higher sales levels, slightlysix months ended June 30, 2020, as lower weighted average borrowings more than offset decreases in operating profitan increase in our Aerospace (excluding the impairment charges) and Specialty Products segments.
Interest expense remained flat at approximately $3.5interest rates. We drew $150 million for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, as we did not require significant borrowings under theon our revolving credit facility in either period duefirst quarter 2020 to ampleensure 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 fund operational needs.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 $1.8$1.3 million, to $1.2$0.3 million of other expense net, for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, as compared to $0.62021, from $1.1 million of other income, net for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, primarily due to ana year-over-year increase in losses on transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
The effective income tax rate for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020 was 11.8% and 2019 was 10.7% and 26.2%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 $12.1$2.5 million for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 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 comparedwell 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 tax expensenet income of approximately $5.4$24.9 million for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. The third quarter 2020 effective tax rate was significantly impacted by the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, a portion of which was non-tax deductible. The tax benefit associated with the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges was treated as a discrete item in determining the tax expense for the quarter.
Income (loss) from continuing operations decreased approximately $116.1 million,2021, compared to a net loss of $100.9$2.6 million for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, as compared to net income of $15.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.2020.

RSA, acquired in February 2020, contributed approximately $4.7 million of sales. Sales of our fastener and machined components products declined by approximately $13.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, both due to lower demand resulting from reduced aircraft production following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with fastener sales also lower than third quarter 2019, as expected, due to the 737 Max grounding.
Gross profit decreased approximately $6.9 million to $6.9 million, or 17.7% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2020, from $13.8$74.4 million, or 27.4% of sales, in the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, due primarily2021, as compared to the decrease in sales levels and related lower fixed cost absorption and production inefficiencies due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross profit further declined by approximately $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to an updated estimate of a pre-acquisition contingent liability, and by approximately $0.4 million due to realignment actions executed in responses to the pandemic, primarily related to severance as we further reduced our employment levels.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.2 million to approximately $5.8$66.5 million, or 14.9%29.1% of sales, in the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, as compared to $6.0 million, or 11.9% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to cost reduction efforts to mitigate the impact of lower sales levels, partially offset by higher ongoing selling, general and administrative costs associated with our acquisition of RSA.
Operating profit (loss) decreased approximately $141.3 million to an operating loss of $133.5 million, or 341.2% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to an operating profit of $7.8 million, or 15.4% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2019. Operating profit and related margin decreased primarily due to approximately $134.6 million of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges in the third quarter of 2020. Operating profit also declined due to lower sales levels, which resulted in lower fixed cost absorption and higher production inefficiencies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the updated pre-acquisition contingent liability charge and the impact of realignment charges.
Specialty Products.   Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased approximately $7.2 million, or 22.1%, to $25.2 million, as compared to $32.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. Sales of our cylinder products decreased approximately $4.5 million, due to lower demand for steel cylinders used in construction and industrial packaged gases in North America, which was partially offset by sales of cylinders used in oxygen and other medical applications.Sales of engines, compressors and related parts used in upstream oil and gas applications decreased by approximately $2.7 million, primarily as a result of lower oil-field activity in North America and continued historic low rig counts.
Gross profit decreased approximately $0.8 million to gross profit of $4.8 million, or 18.9% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $5.6 million, or 17.2% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to the decrease inincreased sales levels and related lower fixed cost absorption and production inefficiencies as a result of the pandemic.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.6 million to $1.4 million, or 5.4% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $2.0 million, or 6.1% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to lower employment and spending levels to align with the decline in sales levels.
Operating profit decreased approximately $0.2 million to $3.4 million, or 13.4% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $3.6 million, or 11.2% of sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the impact of lower sales and related lower fixed cost absorption and production inefficiencies.

Corporate expenses decreased approximately $1.4 million to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of reduced legacy expenses following the change in our accounting policy for asbestos-related defense costs in second quarter 2020, as well as lower corporate operating expenses which have been reduced in response to the pandemic.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Overall, net sales increased approximately $29.2 million, or 5.3%, to $581.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared with $552.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, driven by our recent acquisitions, which contributed approximately $33.1$2.5 million of inorganic sales growth. Organic sales, excluding the impact of currency exchange, decreased approximately $1.2 million, as approximately $48.9 million of sales increases in our Packaging segment, primarily for products used in applications that help fight the spread of germs, were more than offset by approximately $28.6 million lower sales in our Aerospace segment and $21.5 million lower sales in our Specialty Products segment, both primarily due to lower demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, net sales were lower by approximately $2.7 million due to unfavorable currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were negativelyfavorably impacted as a result of the strongerweakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.
Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 23.3% and 27.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross profit margin decreased, as the impact of higher sales levels was more than offset by the impact of approximately $16.4 million of realignment expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, $14.3 million of which were non-cash and $2.1 million of which were cash expenses, primarily in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments, where we executed actions to lower our cost structure in response to reduced end market demand following the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we recorded approximately $2.8 million of non-cash purchase accounting charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for the step-up of inventory to fair value and subsequent amortization related to our RSA and Rapak acquisitions as compared to approximately $0.3 million of such charges for our 2019 acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our gross profit margin in the first nine months of 2020 was also negatively impacted by approximately $2.0 million for an updated estimate of a pre-acquisition contingent liability within our Aerospace segment, as well as lower fixed cost absorption and higher production inefficiencies due primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Operating profit (loss) margin (operating profit as a percentage of sales) approximated (18.3)% and 12.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operating profit (loss) decreased approximately $177.1 million, or 251.4%, to $106.6 million of operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $70.4 million of operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily a result of approximately $134.6 million of non-cash goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges within our Aerospace segment and an approximate $23.4 million non-cash charge due to a change in accounting policy, both in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Operating profit further decreased due to approximately $19.1 million of realignment expenses recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, of which $15.5 million were non-cash and $3.6 million were cash expenses, primarily in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments, where we executed actions to lower our cost structure in response to reduced end market demand following the outbreak of COVID-19. Operating profit (loss) also decreased as a result of increased purchase accounting expenses and as a result of unfavorable currency exchange.
Interest expense increased approximately $0.8 million, to $11.3 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of increased weighted average borrowings from approximately $335.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to approximately $387.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 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.

Other income (expense), net decreased approximately $1.4 million, to $0.2 million of other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $1.3 million of other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a year-over-year increase in losses on transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 12.4% and 20.8%, respectively. We recorded a tax benefit of approximately $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to tax expense of approximately $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by a decrease in profitability resulting from various one-time charges, including a change in the Company’s accounting policy for asbestos-related defense costs and impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. These charges were treated as discrete items in determining tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, we recognized discrete items that occurred during the first nine months of 2019, including the reversal of uncertain tax benefits for which the statute of limitations expired, excess tax benefits related to share based compensation that vested in 2019, and a reduction in deferred tax liabilities resulting from the implementation of state tax planning initiatives.
Income (loss) from continuing operations decreased by approximately $152.0 million, to a loss of $103.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to income of $48.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was the result of a decrease in operating profit (loss) of approximately $177.1 million, a decrease in other income (expense), net and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in income tax benefit (expense) of approximately $27.3 million.
See below for a discussion of operating results by segment.
Packaging.   Net sales increased approximately $65.7 million, or 22.0%, to $364.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $298.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Acquisition-related growth was approximately $19.5 million, comprised of approximately $9.4 million of sales from our April 2020 acquisition of Rapak as well as $10.1 million of January through April 2020 sales for Taplast, which was acquired in late April 2019. Sales of dispensing products used in beauty and personal care and home care applications increased by approximately $33.7 million, primarily as demand increased for personal hygiene applications due to heightened awareness of reducing the spread of germs following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales of products used in food and beverage markets increased by approximately $11.5 million, primarily due to higher sales of beverage dispensers, including pumps and related products, in North America. Sales of products used in industrial markets increased by approximately $1.4 million, primarily due to higher demand within North America, some of which we believe is attributable to higher sales of products used in the transportation of bulk sanitizer and industrial cleaning solutions. These increases were partially offset by approximately $2.7 million of unfavorable currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were negatively impacted as a result of the stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.
Packaging's gross profit increased approximately $16.5 million to $106.8 million, or 29.3% of sales, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $90.3 million, or 30.3% of sales, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to increased sales levels. In addition, the first three quarters of 2019 included approximately $1.7 million of freight and logistics costs to expedite shipments to fulfill customer demand which did not repeat in 2020. These increases were partially offset by approximately $0.9 million in non-cash realignment costs during the first three quarters of 2020 primarily related to the disposal of certain equipment which was taken out of service and approximatelyapproximate $0.8 million for a purchase accounting non-cash charge related to the step-up of Rapak's inventory to fair value and subsequent amortization. Gross profit margin was lower than third quarter 2019 due to a less favorable product sales mix and generally lower production efficiencies, as well as Rapak generating low gross profit at current demand levels, all as a result ofamortization during the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross profit and marginthree months ended June 30, 2020 that did not repeat in 2021. These increases were also impactedpartially offset by approximately $0.7$6 million of unfavorable currency exchange,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 our reported resultscompared to $0.9 million of realignment costs in U.S. dollars were negatively impacted as a resultthe second quarter of 2020, primarily related to the stronger U.S. dollar relativedisposal of certain equipment removed from service. In addition, we recognized an approximate $0.8 million purchase accounting non-cash charge related to foreign currencies.the step-up of Affaba & Ferrari's inventory to fair value and subsequent amortization in the first half of 2021.

Cash Flows
Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $79.1$42.7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, as compared to approximately $60.6$30.8 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. Significant changes in cash flows provided by operating activities and the reasons for such changes were as follows:
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company generated approximately $82.7$72.3 million of cash, based on the reported net lossincome of approximately $103.5$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 asbestos-related change in liability estimate, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and other operating activities. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company generated approximately $91.5$52.1 million in cash flows based on the reported net income from continuing operationsloss of approximately $48.5$2.6 million and after considering the effects of similar non-cash items.items and the asbestos-related change in liability estimate.
Increases in accounts receivable resulted in a use of cash of approximately $6.2$22.6 million and $8.4$12.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The increased use of cash for each of the ninesix month periods is due primarily to the timing of sales and collection of cash related thereto within the periods. Days sales outstanding of receivables decreased by approximately three days compared to third quarter 2019.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 $4.5$5.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, while we increased our investment in inventory by approximately $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020. Our days sales in inventory decreased by approximately 12ten days in 2021 through the nine months ended September 30,solid inventory management even as our 2021 net sales increased above 2020 andlevels. Our days sales in inventory also decreased by approximately threeten days asin 2020 compared to third quarterwith 2019 primarily as a result of thesecond quarter 2020 realignment actions to reduce inventory, primarily related to our strategic decision in our Arrow Engine division to streamline its product line offering. We continue to moderate inventory levels in line with sales levels.
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 $5.5$0.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and of approximately $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020. These changes were primarily a result of the timing of payments made for income taxes and certain operating expenses.
DecreasesAn 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 $7.4 million and $26.8$14.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily as a result of the timing of payments made to suppliers and the mix of vendors and related terms.

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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, weexceed $40.0 million in aggregate. We placed approximately $10.5 million of restricted cash on deposit with a financial institution to be held as cash collateral for our outstanding letters of credit; therefore, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no letters of credit issued against our revolving credit facility. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and had approximately $300.0 million potentially available after giving effect to letters of credit issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2019,2020, we had no$50.5 million amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and had approximately $283.9$249.5 million potentially available after giving effect to approximately $16.1 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. TheOur 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.
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 ninesix months of 20202021 approximated $387.7$403.7 million, compared to approximately $335.3$413.6 million during the first ninesix months of 2019, due to our2020. In March 2020, proactivewe proactively drew $150 million draw 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, during second quarter 2020, 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, in the third quarter of 2020, choosing to further invest in capital expenditures for our businesses and resume purchasing shares of our common stock.
With more than halfThe majority of our cash on hand as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 is located within the U.S., and given available funding under our revolving credit facility of $300.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 (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 SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 1-Month LIBOR approximated 0.15%0.10%. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 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 $7.5$9.4 million in 2019.2020. 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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we purchased 188,028358,047 and 1,441,678440,218 shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.5$11.6 million and $36.0$14.2 million, respectively. Since the initial authorization through SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 we have purchased 3,114,3603,694,949 shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $84.9$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 SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we were party to foreign exchange forward and swap contracts to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates with notional amounts of approximately $63.5$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 12,10, "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. We have historically used interest rate swap agreements to fix the variable portion of our debt to manage this risk. See Note 11,9, "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.

We and certain of our outstanding debt obligations are rated by Standard & Poor's and Moody's. On June 12, 2020,March 24, 2021, Moody's affirmedassigned a Ba3 rating to our 2029 Senior Notes, as presented inNotes.

On February 12, 2020,March 15, 2021, Standard & Poor's affirmedassigned a BB- rating to our senior unsecured debt,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
ThroughIt has now been more than one year since the first nine monthsonset of 2020,the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has significantly affected each of our businesses and how we experienced year-over-year overall growthoperate, albeit in sales, driven by robust organic growthdifferent ways and magnitudes. Sales in our Packaging segment and from acquisitions, which were partially offset by sales decreases in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments. We expect these general segment trends for sales will continue through the remainder of 2020 compared with 2019, with Packaging likely to continue to experience higher demand, particularly for dispensing and closure products we supply that helpare used in applications to fight the spread of germs whilecontinue 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 salessegment 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 2019 unless industrial activity beginshistorical 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 recover.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 expect our Aerospace segment'staking 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 to further declinelevels during second quarter 2021, as compared to 2019, as customer orders are significantly lower than prior year as aircraft manufacturers slow or halt productionthe same period in response2020, we believe there will be a continued period of uncertainty related to low demand for new planes following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we have taken realignment actions to somewhat mitigate the impact of the lower demand levels a clear picture for our business has yet to emerge, and we are unable to predict the full extentother products, whether it be when new aircraft builds will ramp-up that require our fasteners or duration of these impacts at this time.
We are continuing to manage production capacity to prevailingengineered products or whether industrial demand conditions where practical and have taken steps to reduce controllable costs. As wewill continue to navigate through this uncertain period, our goal will beimprove toward pre-pandemic levels. We expect to continue to mitigate, as much as practical, the impact of lowerlow volumes and execute strategic manufacturing footprintin the most challenged end markets, executing realignment actions for our businesses experiencing decreased end-market demand,as necessary so we are positioned to gain operating leverage when certainthese end markets beginrecover. We believe we remain well positioned to recover. For those endcapitalize on the recovery of the aerospace and industrial markets, where demand may increase, such as for our Packaging segment's dispensers and closures used in applications that help fightwell as available market growth opportunities. We believe the continued effectiveness of vaccines, as well as continued measures intended to control the spread of germs, improve personal hygiene,the virus and advance home and industrial cleaning, we will continue to collaborate withfuture variants thereof, are among the most significant factors that could impact demand for our customers and strategic supply partners to ensure availability of capacity to fulfill requisite orders, while also investing in localizing supply where necessary.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 practically estimate the extent or amount of any such potential cash and non-cash charges.
DespiteFollowing the expected pressure to future demand levelsissuance of our 2029 Senior Notes and results of operations inamending our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments, at present,Credit Agreement, we believe our capital structure is in a solid position. We believeremains 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 theour 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, 2020, the Company changed its accounting policy for asbestos-related matters, for which the new policy is described below.
Asbestos-related Matters
We accrue loss reserves for asbestos-related matters based upon an estimate of the ultimate liability for claims incurred, whether reported or not, including an estimate of future settlement costs and costs to defend. We utilize known facts and historical trends for Company-specific and general market asbestos-related activity, as well as an actuarial valuation in determining estimated required reserves which we believe are probable and reasonably estimable. Asbestos-related accruals are assessed at each balance sheet date to determine if the liability remains reasonably stated. Accruals for asbestos-related matters are included in the consolidated balance sheet in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities.”

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on the Company's operations andwhich could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
Since late January 2020, we There have been managing matters related to the global COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts to our operations and strategic supplier-partners in Asia, and, more recently, our manufacturing operations in Europe and North America. As a result of COVID-19, we have experienced temporary disruptions in the operation and workforce staffing of certain of our manufacturing facilities, as we were early adopters of many of the workplace guidelines recently published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") and took precautionary measures when necessary. COVID-19 has also affected our customers and suppliers, and we are collaborating with them to minimize supply chain disruptions. In response to the pandemic and related mitigation measures, we also implemented pandemic and business continuity plans, as well as other precautionary measures on behalf of our customers and employees, including supporting remote work opportunities for certain of our employees. While we believe that all these measures have been necessary or appropriate, they have resulted in additional costs and may adversely impact our business and financial performance in the future or expose us to additional unknown risks.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our results of operations, and we expect it will continue to impact us in the future at varying levels. For example, due in part to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, sales for our dispensing and closure products increased, while salesno significant changes in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments decreased, in the second and third quarters of 2020. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19, including on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows, such impacts that may be material include, but are not limited to: (i) shifting customer demand for many of our products, including those used in cosmetic, personal care, pharmaceutical, household product, food and beverage, and industrial markets,risk factors as well as aerospace markets; (ii) increased credit risk, including increased failure by customers experiencing business disruptions to make timely payments; (iii) reduced availability and productivity of employees, as well as increased costs associated with our high-deductible medical insurance plan if our employees become ill; (iv) increased operational risks as a result of manufacturing facility disruptions or remote work arrangements, including the potential effects on internal controls and procedures, as well as cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, information technology disruptions and other similar events; (v) delays and disruptions in the availability of and timely delivery of materials and components useddisclosed in our operations, as well as increased costs for such materials and components; (vi) customer requirements to accelerate the relocation of certain of our production lines to North America, which may increase our capital investment needs and launch costs; (vii) a negative impact on liquidity position; (viii) any impairment in value of tangible or intangible assets which could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions; and (ix) increased costs and less ability to access funds under our existing credit facility and the capital markets.
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 pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, and the resumption of widespread economic activity. In addition, because we cannot predict the impact that COVID-19 will ultimately have, the actual impact may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, any of which could have a material effect on us.
