Additionally, gross margin increased more than 200 basis points over 2022, and operating cash flow exceeded $53 million, which was used to grow our business and reduce debt. Our strong performance is a testament to the hard work of our teams and strong positioning in the market of our portfolio of brands,” said Matthew V.

Our net sales and income in the fourth quarter of 2023 were negatively impacted by the United Auto Workers (“UAW”) strike in September-October 2023, which negatively impacted several OEM customer plants and reduced our net sales and EPS by approximately $25 million and approximately $0.20 per diluted share, respectively. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations to adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations. Full year 2023 net sales were $1.7 billion compared to $1.5 billion in 2022, an increase of 11%.

Gross margin increased 230 basis points in 2023 compared to 2022. Income from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in 2023 was $34.0 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, compared to $10.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share in 2022.

Please refer to the tables that follow for a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to adjusted income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders to EBITDA, as defined. FOURTH QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS In our Supply Technologies segment, net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $177.5 million, a decrease of 2% compared to $181.0 million in the fourth quarter a year ago, driven by the impact of the UAW strike and lower demand primarily in the heavy-duty truck end market. Our net sales in the quarter were impacted by the UAW strike affecting several OEM vehicle assembly plants. Segment operating income was $14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $10.3 million in the fourth quarter 2022. Operating income margin was 220 basis points higher in the 2023 fourth quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago due primarily to customer price increases and other profit-enhancement actions. For the full year 2023, net sales increased 7% to a record $763.4 million, as we benefited from strong demand in most key end markets, most notably in power sports, heavy-duty truck, and commercial aerospace, and increased demand for our proprietary fastener products. Operating margin improved 130 basis points to 7.7%, driven by the higher sales and the impact of profit-enhancement actions, including increased product pricing. In Assembly Components, which excludes the Aluminum Products business for all periods presented, net sales were $97.0 million, up 3% compared to $94.6 million in the 2022 fourth quarter. Our net sales in the quarter were impacted by the UAW strike affecting several OEM vehicle assembly plants. Segment operating income was $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $0.4 million in the 2022 quarter. On an adjusted basis excluding special charges in the 2022 period related to plant consolidation, operating income was $6.5 million in the 2023 period compared to $1.8 million in the 2022 period. The improvement in segment operating results in the 2023 period compared to the same period a year ago was driven by the benefit of profit-improvement initiatives implemented over the past two years, including increased product pricing and plant consolidation actions, and the profit flow-through from the higher sales levels. For the full year 2023, net sales increased 10% to a record $427.8 million, driven by increased customer pricing and new programs implemented during the year. Operating margin improved 750 basis points to 7.8%, driven by the benefit of profit-improvement initiatives implemented over the past two years, including increased product pricing, and the higher sales levels. In Engineered Products, net sales were $114.8 million in the 2023 fourth quarter, up 8% compared to $106.0 million in last year's fourth quarter, driven by strong demand in both our capital equipment business and our forged and machined products business. In our capital equipment business, new equipment backlog totaled $162 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $163 million at December 31, 2022. Bookings of new equipment in 2023 totaled $175 million compared to $201 million in 2022. Aftermarket net sales continued to be strong and were $40.5 million in the 2023 fourth quarter, up 12% compared to $36.1 million in last year’s fourth quarter. In our forged and machined products business, fourth quarter 2023 sales were up 12% compared to the same quarter a year ago, driven by continued strong demand in certain key end markets, primarily rail and aerospace and defense. Segment operating income in the 2023 fourth quarter was $3.8 million compared to $0.1 million in the 2022 quarter. On an adjusted basis excluding special charges in 2022 related to plant consolidation, segment operating income was $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $5.6 million in the 2022 period. Excluding special charges, the profitability decline in the 2023 fourth quarter was driven by lower profitability in our forged and machined products business, which more than offset the strong performance in our capital equipment business. For the full year 2023, net sales increased 19% to a record $468.5 million, driven by our backlogs at the start of the year and higher customer demand in both our capital equipment business and our forged and machined products business. Operating margin improved 30 basis points to 4.1%, driven by profit flow-through from the higher sales levels and implemented operational improvements, which more than offset the lower margins in forged and machined products. LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW At December 31, 2023, our total liquidity was $166 million, which included cash on hand of $54.8 million and $111.2 million of unused borrowing availability under our credit arrangements. In 2023, operating cash flows were $53.4 million and free cash flow was $25.2 million, up significantly compared to 2022. SALE OF ALUMINUM PRODUCTS BUSINESS Effective December 29, 2023, the Company completed the divestiture of its Aluminum Products business to Angstrom Automotive Group (the “Buyer”) for approximately $50 million in cash and promissory notes, plus the assumption of approximately $3 million of finance lease obligations by the Buyer. The loss on sale of the Aluminum Products business was $23.6 million. In 2023, the business generated an EBITDA loss of $0.2 million and negative free cash flow of $6.8 million. The sale proceeds, which were and will be used to repay a portion of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, consisted of a cash down payment of $20.0 million paid to the Company in December 2022; cash of $15.5 million paid to the Company at closing; and promissory notes totaling $15 million payable to the Company on December 31, 2024, of which $10 million is contingent on the Aluminum Products business attaining certain purchase commitments during 2024. 2024 OUTLOOK - CONTINUING OPERATIONS For 2024, we expect revenue growth in the mid-single digit range year-over-year, driven by continued strong demand expected in most end markets in Supply Technologies and Assembly Components and the strength of our backlog in Engineered Products. In addition, we expect year-over-year improvement in EPS and EBITDA. SUBSEQUENT EVENT – ACQUISITION OF EMA INDUTEC GmbH Effective February 29, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of EMA Indutec GmbH (“EMA”), headquartered in Meckesheim, Germany, from the Aichelin Group, headquartered in Modling, Austria.

Additionally, EBITDA, as defined is a measure used under the Company's revolving credit facility to determine whether the Company may incur additional debt under such facility.

ParkOhio Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results and the Acquisition of EMA Indutec GmbH By: Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. via Business Wire March 05, 2024 at 16:10 PM EST Fourth quarter: Net sales from continuing operations of $389 million, up 2% year-over-year GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $0.54 per diluted share, up from a loss of $(0.58) per diluted share a year ago Q4 results impacted by United Auto Workers strike at light vehicle and heavy truck plants Strong Q4 operating cash flows of $29 million and free cash flow of $22 million Completed sale of Aluminum Products business Full year: Record net sales from continuing operations of $1.7 billion, up 11% YOY, and record net sales in each business segment GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $2.72 per diluted share compared to $0.83 in 2022 Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $3.07 per diluted share, up 74% compared to $1.76 per diluted share in 2022 EBITDA from continuing operations improved 33% to $134 million in 2023 Strong full year operating cash flows of $53 million and free cash flow of $25 million 2024 Outlook: Revenues expected to grow in the mid-single digit range year-over-year, driven primarily by continued strong demand expected in Supply Technologies and strong backlogs in Engineered Products Expected year-over-year improvement in EPS and EBITDA Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023. “Our team delivered strong growth of 11% during 2023 even with the adverse impact of the UAW strikes during the fourth quarter. These results represented record revenue for our business in total and for every business segment. Additionally, gross margin increased more than 200 basis points over 2022, and operating cash flow exceeded $53 million, which was used to grow our business and reduce debt. Our strong performance is a testament to the hard work of our teams and strong positioning in the market of our portfolio of brands,” said Matthew V. Crawford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “While we expect our sales growth to moderate during 2024, we will use this opportunity to build on our progress in 2023 to further improve our operating execution and drive further improvements in profitability and cash flow.” FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS In the fourth quarter of 2023, net sales from continuing operations were $389.3 million compared to $381.6 million in the 2022 period, an increase of 2%. Gross margin increased 200 basis points in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period. Income from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $6.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $7.0 million, or $0.58 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding special items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $0.54 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $0.09 per diluted share in the 2022 period. Our net sales and income in the fourth quarter of 2023 were negatively impacted by the United Auto Workers (“UAW”) strike in September-October 2023, which negatively impacted several OEM customer plants and reduced our net sales and EPS by approximately $25 million and approximately $0.20 per diluted share, respectively. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations to adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations. Full year 2023 net sales were $1.7 billion compared to $1.5 billion in 2022, an increase of 11%. Our 2023 net sales performance was a record for our continuing operations on a consolidated basis, and a record in each of our three individual business segments. Gross margin increased 230 basis points in 2023 compared to 2022. Income from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in 2023 was $34.0 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, compared to $10.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share in 2022. Excluding special items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $3.07 per diluted share in 2023, an increase of 74% compared to $1.76 per diluted share in 2022. EBITDA, as defined in 2023 was $134.2 million, an increase of 33% compared to $101.0 million in 2022. Please refer to the tables that follow for a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to adjusted income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders to EBITDA, as defined. FOURTH QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS In our Supply Technologies segment, net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $177.5 million, a decrease of 2% compared to $181.0 million in the fourth quarter a year ago, driven by the impact of the UAW strike and lower demand primarily in the heavy-duty truck end market. Our net sales in the quarter were impacted by the UAW strike affecting several OEM vehicle assembly plants. Segment operating income was $14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $10.3 million in the fourth quarter 2022. Operating income margin was 220 basis points higher in the 2023 fourth quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago due primarily to customer price increases and other profit-enhancement actions. For the full year 2023, net sales increased 7% to a record $763.4 million, as we benefited from strong demand in most key end markets, most notably in power sports, heavy-duty truck, and commercial aerospace, and increased demand for our proprietary fastener products. Operating margin improved 130 basis points to 7.7%, driven by the higher sales and the impact of profit-enhancement actions, including increased product pricing. In Assembly Components, which excludes the Aluminum Products business for all periods presented, net sales were $97.0 million, up 3% compared to $94.6 million in the 2022 fourth quarter. Our net sales in the quarter were impacted by the UAW strike affecting several OEM vehicle assembly plants. Segment operating income was $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $0.4 million in the 2022 quarter. On an adjusted basis excluding special charges in the 2022 period related to plant consolidation, operating income was $6.5 million in the 2023 period compared to $1.8 million in the 2022 period. The improvement in segment operating results in the 2023 period compared to the same period a year ago was driven by the benefit of profit-improvement initiatives implemented over the past two years, including increased product pricing and plant consolidation actions, and the profit flow-through from the higher sales levels. For the full year 2023, net sales increased 10% to a record $427.8 million, driven by increased customer pricing and new programs implemented during the year. Operating margin improved 750 basis points to 7.8%, driven by the benefit of profit-improvement initiatives implemented over the past two years, including increased product pricing, and the higher sales levels. In Engineered Products, net sales were $114.8 million in the 2023 fourth quarter, up 8% compared to $106.0 million in last year's fourth quarter, driven by strong demand in both our capital equipment business and our forged and machined products business. In our capital equipment business, new equipment backlog totaled $162 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $163 million at December 31, 2022. Bookings of new equipment in 2023 totaled $175 million compared to $201 million in 2022. Aftermarket net sales continued to be strong and were $40.5 million in the 2023 fourth quarter, up 12% compared to $36.1 million in last year’s fourth quarter. In our forged and machined products business, fourth quarter 2023 sales were up 12% compared to the same quarter a year ago, driven by continued strong demand in certain key end markets, primarily rail and aerospace and defense. Segment operating income in the 2023 fourth quarter was $3.8 million compared to $0.1 million in the 2022 quarter. On an adjusted basis excluding special charges in 2022 related to plant consolidation, segment operating income was $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $5.6 million in the 2022 period. Excluding special charges, the profitability decline in the 2023 fourth quarter was driven by lower profitability in our forged and machined products business, which more than offset the strong performance in our capital equipment business. For the full year 2023, net sales increased 19% to a record $468.5 million, driven by our backlogs at the start of the year and higher customer demand in both our capital equipment business and our forged and machined products business. Operating margin improved 30 basis points to 4.1%, driven by profit flow-through from the higher sales levels and implemented operational improvements, which more than offset the lower margins in forged and machined products. LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW At December 31, 2023, our total liquidity was $166 million, which included cash on hand of $54.8 million and $111.2 million of unused borrowing availability under our credit arrangements. In 2023, operating cash flows were $53.4 million and free cash flow was $25.2 million, up significantly compared to 2022. SALE OF ALUMINUM PRODUCTS BUSINESS Effective December 29, 2023, the Company completed the divestiture of its Aluminum Products business to Angstrom Automotive Group (the “Buyer”) for approximately $50 million in cash and promissory notes, plus the assumption of approximately $3 million of finance lease obligations by the Buyer. The loss on sale of the Aluminum Products business was $23.6 million. In 2023, the business generated an EBITDA loss of $0.2 million and negative free cash flow of $6.8 million. The sale proceeds, which were and will be used to repay a portion of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, consisted of a cash down payment of $20.0 million paid to the Company in December 2022; cash of $15.5 million paid to the Company at closing; and promissory notes totaling $15 million payable to the Company on December 31, 2024, of which $10 million is contingent on the Aluminum Products business attaining certain purchase commitments during 2024. 2024 OUTLOOK - CONTINUING OPERATIONS For 2024, we expect revenue growth in the mid-single digit range year-over-year, driven by continued strong demand expected in most end markets in Supply Technologies and Assembly Components and the strength of our backlog in Engineered Products. In addition, we expect year-over-year improvement in EPS and EBITDA. SUBSEQUENT EVENT – ACQUISITION OF EMA INDUTEC GmbH Effective February 29, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of EMA Indutec GmbH (“EMA”), headquartered in Meckesheim, Germany, from the Aichelin Group, headquartered in Modling, Austria. EMA, a leading manufacturer of induction heating equipment and converters, operates through its two locations in Meckesheim, Germany and Beijing, China. The acquisition strengthens our global induction heating expertise throughout Europe and expands our portfolio of induction equipment brands and our aftermarket service capabilities. The cash purchase price was approximately $14 million. Mr. Crawford stated, “The strategic acquisition of EMA will expand our leading global induction business throughout Germany and will be immediately accretive to our margins. We expect revenues from EMA over the next twelve months to exceed $30 million."

Adjusted earnings (loss) from continuing operations is income (loss) from continuing operations calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), adjusted for special items. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because management uses adjusted earnings (loss) from continuing operations to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis over multiple periods because they remove the impact of certain significant non-cash credits or charges and certain infrequent items impacting income (loss). Adjusted earnings (loss) is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, income (loss) from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP.

AND SUBSIDIARIES SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED) EBITDA, as defined is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company is providing in this press release. EBITDA, as defined reflects income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes certain charges and corporate-level expenses as defined in the Company's current revolving credit facility. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because management uses EBITDA, as defined to assess the Company's performance and believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indication of the Company's compliance with its Debt Service Ratio covenant in its revolving credit facility. Additionally, EBITDA, as defined is a measure used under the Company's revolving credit facility to determine whether the Company may incur additional debt under such facility. EBITDA, as defined is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net loss or cash flow information calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023. “Our team delivered strong growth of 11% during 2023 even with the adverse impact of the UAW strikes during the fourth quarter. These results represented record revenue for our business in total and for every business segment. Additionally, gross margin increased more than 200 basis points over 2022, and operating cash flow exceeded $53 million, which was used to grow our business and reduce debt. Our strong performance is a testament to the hard work of our teams and strong positioning in the market of our portfolio of brands,” said Matthew V. Crawford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “While we expect our sales growth to moderate during 2024, we will use this opportunity to build on our progress in 2023 to further improve our operating execution and drive further improvements in profitability and cash flow.” FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS In the fourth quarter of 2023, net sales from continuing operations were $389.3 million compared to $381.6 million in the 2022 period, an increase of 2%. Gross margin increased 200 basis points in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period. Income from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $6.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $7.0 million, or $0.58 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding special items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $0.54 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $0.09 per diluted share in the 2022 period. Our net sales and income in the fourth quarter of 2023 were negatively impacted by the United Auto Workers (“UAW”) strike in September-October 2023, which negatively impacted several OEM customer plants and reduced our net sales and EPS by approximately $25 million and approximately $0.20 per diluted share, respectively. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations to adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations. Full year 2023 net sales were $1.7 billion compared to $1.5 billion in 2022, an increase of 11%. Our 2023 net sales performance was a record for our continuing operations on a consolidated basis, and a record in each of our three individual business segments. Gross margin increased 230 basis points in 2023 compared to 2022. Income from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in 2023 was $34.0 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, compared to $10.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share in 2022. Excluding special items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $3.07 per diluted share in 2023, an increase of 74% compared to $1.76 per diluted share in 2022. EBITDA, as defined in 2023 was $134.2 million, an increase of 33% compared to $101.0 million in 2022. Please refer to the tables that follow for a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to adjusted income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders to EBITDA, as defined. FOURTH QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS In our Supply Technologies segment, net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $177.5 million, a decrease of 2% compared to $181.0 million in the fourth quarter a year ago, driven by the impact of the UAW strike and lower demand primarily in the heavy-duty truck end market. Our net sales in the quarter were impacted by the UAW strike affecting several OEM vehicle assembly plants. Segment operating income was $14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $10.3 million in the fourth quarter 2022. Operating income margin was 220 basis points higher in the 2023 fourth quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago due primarily to customer price increases and other profit-enhancement actions. For the full year 2023, net sales increased 7% to a record $763.4 million, as we benefited from strong demand in most key end markets, most notably in power sports, heavy-duty truck, and commercial aerospace, and increased demand for our proprietary fastener products. Operating margin improved 130 basis points to 7.7%, driven by the higher sales and the impact of profit-enhancement actions, including increased product pricing. In Assembly Components, which excludes the Aluminum Products business for all periods presented, net sales were $97.0 million, up 3% compared to $94.6 million in the 2022 fourth quarter. Our net sales in the quarter were impacted by the UAW strike affecting several OEM vehicle assembly plants. Segment operating income was $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $0.4 million in the 2022 quarter. On an adjusted basis excluding special charges in the 2022 period related to plant consolidation, operating income was $6.5 million in the 2023 period compared to $1.8 million in the 2022 period. The improvement in segment operating results in the 2023 period compared to the same period a year ago was driven by the benefit of profit-improvement initiatives implemented over the past two years, including increased product pricing and plant consolidation actions, and the profit flow-through from the higher sales levels. For the full year 2023, net sales increased 10% to a record $427.8 million, driven by increased customer pricing and new programs implemented during the year. Operating margin improved 750 basis points to 7.8%, driven by the benefit of profit-improvement initiatives implemented over the past two years, including increased product pricing, and the higher sales levels. In Engineered Products, net sales were $114.8 million in the 2023 fourth quarter, up 8% compared to $106.0 million in last year's fourth quarter, driven by strong demand in both our capital equipment business and our forged and machined products business. In our capital equipment business, new equipment backlog totaled $162 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $163 million at December 31, 2022. Bookings of new equipment in 2023 totaled $175 million compared to $201 million in 2022. Aftermarket net sales continued to be strong and were $40.5 million in the 2023 fourth quarter, up 12% compared to $36.1 million in last year’s fourth quarter. In our forged and machined products business, fourth quarter 2023 sales were up 12% compared to the same quarter a year ago, driven by continued strong demand in certain key end markets, primarily rail and aerospace and defense. Segment operating income in the 2023 fourth quarter was $3.8 million compared to $0.1 million in the 2022 quarter. On an adjusted basis excluding special charges in 2022 related to plant consolidation, segment operating income was $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $5.6 million in the 2022 period. Excluding special charges, the profitability decline in the 2023 fourth quarter was driven by lower profitability in our forged and machined products business, which more than offset the strong performance in our capital equipment business. For the full year 2023, net sales increased 19% to a record $468.5 million, driven by our backlogs at the start of the year and higher customer demand in both our capital equipment business and our forged and machined products business. Operating margin improved 30 basis points to 4.1%, driven by profit flow-through from the higher sales levels and implemented operational improvements, which more than offset the lower margins in forged and machined products. LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW At December 31, 2023, our total liquidity was $166 million, which included cash on hand of $54.8 million and $111.2 million of unused borrowing availability under our credit arrangements. In 2023, operating cash flows were $53.4 million and free cash flow was $25.2 million, up significantly compared to 2022. SALE OF ALUMINUM PRODUCTS BUSINESS Effective December 29, 2023, the Company completed the divestiture of its Aluminum Products business to Angstrom Automotive Group (the “Buyer”) for approximately $50 million in cash and promissory notes, plus the assumption of approximately $3 million of finance lease obligations by the Buyer. The loss on sale of the Aluminum Products business was $23.6 million. In 2023, the business generated an EBITDA loss of $0.2 million and negative free cash flow of $6.8 million. The sale proceeds, which were and will be used to repay a portion of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, consisted of a cash down payment of $20.0 million paid to the Company in December 2022; cash of $15.5 million paid to the Company at closing; and promissory notes totaling $15 million payable to the Company on December 31, 2024, of which $10 million is contingent on the Aluminum Products business attaining certain purchase commitments during 2024. 2024 OUTLOOK - CONTINUING OPERATIONS For 2024, we expect revenue growth in the mid-single digit range year-over-year, driven by continued strong demand expected in most end markets in Supply Technologies and Assembly Components and the strength of our backlog in Engineered Products. In addition, we expect year-over-year improvement in EPS and EBITDA. SUBSEQUENT EVENT – ACQUISITION OF EMA INDUTEC GmbH Effective February 29, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of EMA Indutec GmbH (“EMA”), headquartered in Meckesheim, Germany, from the Aichelin Group, headquartered in Modling, Austria. EMA, a leading manufacturer of induction heating equipment and converters, operates through its two locations in Meckesheim, Germany and Beijing, China. The acquisition strengthens our global induction heating expertise throughout Europe and expands our portfolio of induction equipment brands and our aftermarket service capabilities. The cash purchase price was approximately $14 million. Mr. Crawford stated, “The strategic acquisition of EMA will expand our leading global induction business throughout Germany and will be immediately accretive to our margins. We expect revenues from EMA over the next twelve months to exceed $30 million."

AND SUBSIDIARIES SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED) Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company is providing in this press release. Adjusted operating income is calculated as operating income (loss) plus adjustments for plant closure and consolidation, severance and other. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because management uses adjusted operating income to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis over multiple periods because they remove the impact of certain significant non-cash credits or charges and certain infrequent items impacting income (loss). Adjusted operating income is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, earnings in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted operating income herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
