ParkOhio Announces First Quarter 2021 Results

•Revenue of $360 million

•GAAP EPS of $0.45; Adjusted EPS of $0.53

•Operating Cash Flows of $10 million

•Increased Liquidity to $264 million at March 31, 2021

•Completed the Acquisition of NYK Component Solutions

CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 4, 2021 — Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH) today announced its results for the first quarter of 2021.

FIRST QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net sales were $359.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to net sales of $366.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. Net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders was $5.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020. Results in 2020 included an effective income tax rate of 81% driven by deductions and foreign tax credits that could not be claimed in 2020 or carried forward. The impact of these items on our first quarter 2020 income tax expense was an increase of $3.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis, net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders was $0.53 per diluted share in the 2021 first quarter compared to $0.13 per diluted share in the 2020 first quarter. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of net income to adjusted earnings.

Matthew V. Crawford, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, “Our business rebounded strongly during the first quarter returning to pre-pandemic levels. Robust demand in most markets accelerated throughout the quarter, and while the COVID-19 pandemic continues to provide an uncertain backdrop to the economy, we anticipate improvement throughout the year. Additionally, we are pleased with the substantial reduction in debt compared to a year ago. Finally, we are excited to have completed the strategic acquisition of NYK for our Apollo Aerospace division of Supply Technologies.”

We generated $9.9 million of operating cash flows and $3.3 million of free cash flow in the quarter. At March 31, 2021, our liquidity was $264.4 million, which included cash on-hand of $58.9 million and $205.5 million of unused borrowing capacity under our various banking arrangements.

QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND

-more-

The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share on the common stock outstanding, to be paid on May 21, 2021, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 7, 2021.

FIRST QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

In Supply Technologies, net sales were $157.7 million, up 12% year-over-year driven by strong customer demand in the majority of our end markets, including power sports, heavy-duty truck, medical, automotive and defense. Our average daily sales in our supply chain management business increased 14% year-over-year and 11% sequentially despite continued slow recovery in the commercial aerospace end market. Operating income in this segment increased by $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter a year ago, and operating margins increased by 120 basis points, both driven by the higher sales levels and the favorable impact of cost-reduction actions implemented in 2020, despite higher levels of premium freight caused by global supply chain constraints. We expect the strong overall customer demand to continue throughout 2021 as the majority of our end markets fully recover from the global pandemic.

In Assembly Components, net sales were $126.0 million compared to $128.2 million the same quarter a year ago. While sales levels continue their steady recovery from pandemic lows of $55 million in the second quarter of 2020, they were negatively impacted in the first quarter of 2021 by temporary customer plant shut-downs caused by weather-related issues and demand volatility caused by semiconductor chip shortages affecting certain automotive platforms. Segment operating income was $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, up slightly compared to the first quarter a year ago, and operating margin increased by 20 basis points in spite of the lower sales levels in the 2021 quarter. The improvement in profitability in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same quarter a year ago was driven by benefits of cost reduction actions, which more than offset higher manufacturing costs caused by demand volatility and one-time charges of $0.6 million to close and consolidate certain facilities. Also, we continue to launch several new products that we expect will positively impact sales in future quarters, primarily in our fuel and extruded products businesses. The global semiconductor chip shortage, which caused many of our customers’ plants to shut-down in the first quarter, is expected to continue. Although it is difficult to project the full year impact at this time, we estimate that the sales impact in the second quarter will be approximately $10 million based on current customer shut-down schedules.

In Engineered Products, net sales were $75.9 million compared to $97.3 million in last year's first quarter and $86.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The first quarter results in this segment continued to be affected by the slow recovery in our key end markets, most notably in our forged and machined products group, which supplies products to the aerospace, oil and gas, steel and rail end markets. We incurred an operating loss of $1.3 million in the 2021 quarter, compared to operating income of $3.8 million in last year’s first quarter, which was driven by the lower sales levels and one-time charges of $0.7 million to consolidate certain facilities. We expect volumes to improve throughout the remainder of 2021 as markets we serve recover from pandemic lows. In our industrial equipment business, order activity continues to strengthen. In the first quarter, new orders increased 38% over fourth quarter 2020 levels.

ACQUISITION OF NYK COMPONENT SOLUTIONS LIMITED

On April 1, 2021, the Company acquired NYK Component Solutions Limited (“NYK”). NYK, which will be included in our Supply Technologies segment, is headquartered in Southampton, United Kingdom and is a leading distributor of circular connectors and accessories for use in aerospace, defense, and other industrial applications. NYK will provide complementary product lines and new customer opportunities throughout Europe and North America. We expect annual sales from NYK to exceed $10 million and the acquisition to be immediately accretive to earnings.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

Adjusted income is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company is providing in this press release. Adjusted income is net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), adjusted for special items.

Adjusted income is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted income herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles net income to adjusted income:
