Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

NOTE 1 — Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our” or the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company corrected its classification of the second quarter 2018 gain on sale of assets from non-operating to operating income. This reclassification was deemed immaterial and had no impact on net income.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” a new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that supersedes previous guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Our implementation efforts included identification of revenue within the scope of the standard, evaluation of revenue contracts under the guidance, and an assessment of the impacts of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. This method allowed companies to record a one-time adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 for the cumulative effect that the standard had on open contracts at the date of adoption. During our implementation, we identified certain contracts that now require over time recognition under the new standard, either as goods are manufactured or services are performed, rather than at the time of shipment or completion as recorded under previous guidance. Upon adoption, we recorded previously unrecognized revenue of $13.6 million, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment of $2.6 million to our 2018 beginning retained earnings. See Note 3 for further details.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” The ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. Other components of

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

pension income and other postretirement benefits expense, net includes all amounts other than the service cost component. Such amounts are included on a separate line below operating income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The new standard requires a retrospective application and allows a practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension footnote for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation. This resulted in the reclassification of the following amounts from previously-reported Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017:



	Three Months Ended September 30, 2017			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017
	(In millions)
Reclassification of expense to Cost of sales	$	0.5		$	1.5
Reclassification of income to Other components of pension income and other postretirement benefits expense, net	$	(1.7	)	$	(4.7	)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This accounting standard requires that a lessee recognize a lease asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 will require additional disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance which allows an additional transition method to adopt the new leases standard at the adoption date, rather than as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company expects to elect this transition method at the date of adoption. The Company’s implementation team is currently evaluating our lease portfolio, implementing a third-party lease accounting software solution to assist in our analysis, and updating our accounting policies and internal controls that will be impacted by the new standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 and an estimate of the impact on the consolidated financial statements cannot be made at this time.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The ASU affects any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income,” and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard requires a retrospective application to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

No other recently issued ASUs are expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

NOTE 3 - Revenue

As discussed above in Note 2, effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Substantially all of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer products to or, in limited cases, perform services for the customer. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when its obligations under the contract terms are satisfied and control transfers to the customer. Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the good or service, including estimated provisions for rebates, discounts, returns and allowances. The Company sells its products both directly to customers, and in limited cases, through distributors, generally under agreements with payment terms between 30-90 days; the Company has no financing components.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts (i) with an original contract length of one year or less, or (ii) for which it recognizes revenue at the amount at which it has the right to invoice as products or services are delivered. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to disclose the value of remaining performance obligations associated with these types of contacts.

The Company also has certain contracts which contain performance obligations that are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to assess whether these promised goods or services are performance obligations.

Assembly Components designs, develops and manufactures aluminum products and highly efficient, high pressure Direct Fuel Injection fuel rails and pipes; fuel filler pipes that route fuel from the gas cap to the gas tank; flexible multi-layer plastic and rubber assemblies used to transport fuel from the vehicle's gas tank and then, at extreme high pressure, to the engine's fuel injector nozzles. Within this segment, contracts routinely consist of a long-term agreement or master service agreement with quantity and pricing specified through individual purchase orders. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, which is at the shipping point, as that is when control transfers to the customer.

Engineered Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of highly-engineered products, including induction heating and melting systems, pipe threading systems and forged and machined products. Engineered Products also produces and provides services and spare parts for the equipment it manufactures. In this segment, revenue is recognized for certain revenue streams at a point in time, and over time for other revenue streams. For point in time arrangements, revenue is recognized at the shipping point, as that is when control transfers to the customer. For over time arrangements, revenue is recognized over the time during which products are manufactured or services are performed, as control transfers under these arrangements over a period of time. Over time arrangements represent 16% of the Company's total consolidated sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company uses the input method to calculate the contract revenues to be recognized, which utilizes costs incurred to date in relation to total expected costs to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract. Incurred costs represent work performed and therefore best depict the transfer of control to the customer.

For over time arrangements, contract liabilities primarily relate to advances or deposits received from the Company’s customers before revenue is recognized. These amounts, which totaled $37.2 million and $23.0 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, are recorded as deferred revenue and included in accrued expenses and other in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

For over time arrangements, contract assets primarily relate to revenue recognized in advance of billings to customers under long-term contracts accounted for under percentage of completion. These amounts, which totaled $58.1 million and $40.1 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, are recorded as unbilled contract revenue and included in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The adoption of ASU 2014-09 had the impact of increasing unbilled contract revenue by $13.6 million, reducing inventory by $10.1 million, increasing accrued income taxes by $0.9 million and increasing beginning retained earnings by $2.6 million as of January 1, 2018.

The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer its products. As such, shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in Net sales, and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in Cost of sales. The Company has elected to exclude from Net sales any value-added, sales or other taxes which it collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities. These accounting policy elections are consistent with the manner in which the Company historically recorded shipping and handling fees and expenses.

NOTE 4 — Segments

Our operating segments are defined as components of the enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance.

For purposes of measuring business segment performance, the Company utilizes segment operating income, which is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the product lines within each segment. The Company does not allocate items that are non-operating; unusual in nature; or are corporate costs, which include but are not limited to executive and share-based compensation and corporate office costs. Segment operating income reconciles to consolidated income before income taxes by deducting corporate costs; certain non-cash and/or non-operating items; Other components of pension income and other postretirement benefits expense, net; and interest expense.

Results by business segment were as follows:

NOTE 8 — Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, in each period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimated annual effective income tax rate, and if the estimated rate changes, a cumulative catch-up adjustment is made.

September 30, 2018

The effective income tax rates for the third quarter of 2018 and 2017 were 17.8% and 20.9%, respectively. The 2018 rate includes a $0.9 million benefit related to an adjustment of the Company’s estimated transition tax liability under the Tax Act. The transition tax liability, which was originally recorded as a provisional amount at December 31, 2017, was adjusted by the Company in the third quarter of 2018 in connection with completion of its 2017 federal income tax return. Excluding this Tax Act impact, the effective rate in the third quarter 2018 would have been 23.0%. This rate includes a benefit of approximately $2.0 million related to reversals of previously-recorded valuation allowances in certain foreign tax jurisdictions, partially offset by withholding tax expense of $0.4 million on repatriation of cash and tax expense of $0.5 million for a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the Company’s estimate of its 2018 annual effective rate. The effective rate in 2017 includes a benefit from the reversal of various income tax accruals totaling approximately $1.4 million relating to previous uncertain tax positions for which the statutes of limitations expired.

The effective income tax rates for the first nine months of 2018 and 2017 were 26.6% and 28.6%, respectively. The 2018 rate is lower than the corresponding rate in 2017 due primarily to the valuation allowance reversal benefit and withholding tax expense described above. The effective rate in 2017 includes the $1.4 million income tax accrual reversal described above.

As a result of the application of Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, the Company has recorded provisional amounts related to the reduction of its deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the statutory tax rate reduction and for the one-time transition tax provided for by the Tax Act at December 31, 2017. The Company adjusted the transition tax as of September 30, 2018 as described above, and continues to gather additional information to more precisely compute and finalize the impacts of these tax law changes during 2018. The Company expects to finalize its calculations and adjustments to provisional amounts, if any, in the fourth quarter of 2018.

For 2018, the Company is subject to several provisions of the Tax Act, including Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”), Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”), Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (“BEAT”), and the interest limitation rules. Due to the complexity of the GILTI tax rules, the Company is continuing to evaluate this provision and the application of ASU 740, “Income Taxes.” U.S. GAAP permits the Company to make an accounting policy choice of either: (i) recognizing deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years, or (ii) providing for the tax expense related to GILTI as a period expense in the year the tax is incurred. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, the Company has not made a policy decision regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI or to treat the tax expense as a period expense. However, the Company has included an estimate of the 2018 current GILTI impact in the annual effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. For the FDII and interest limitation provisions, the Company has also included an estimate of these provisions in the annual effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. For the BEAT provision, the Company has not included an estimate of this provision in the annual effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 because the Company currently estimates that this provision will not apply in 2018.

NOTE 11 — Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation Settlement

The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability for loss contingencies in the consolidated financial statements when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Our provisions are based on historical experience, current information and legal advice, and they may be adjusted in the future based on new developments. Estimating probable losses requires the analysis of multiple forecasted factors that often depend on judgments and potential actions by third parties. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome or cost of these matters, the Company believes they will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

During 2017, the Company settled a claim related to equipment provided to a customer in our Engineered Products segment. As of the settlement date, the Company had $7.3 million accrued for this matter. The Company reversed the excess liability and recognized $3.3 million in income in the first quarter of 2017.

Our subsidiaries are involved in a number of contractual and warranty-related disputes. We believe that appropriate liabilities for these contingencies have been recorded; however, actual results may differ materially from our estimates.

In August 2013, the Company received a subpoena from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the staff’s investigation of a third party. At that time, the Company also learned that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) is conducting a criminal investigation of the third party. In connection with its initial response to the staff’s subpoena, the Company disclosed to the staff of the SEC that, in November 2007, the third party participated in a payment on behalf of the Company to a foreign tax official that implicates the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Board of Directors of the Company formed a special committee to review the Company’s transactions with the third party and to make any recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect thereto. The Company intends to cooperate fully with the SEC and the DOJ in connection with their investigations of the third party and with the SEC in light of the Company’s disclosure. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or impact of the special committee’s investigation or the length, scope or results of the SEC’s review or the impact on its results of operations.

* Calculation not meaningful

Net Sales

Net sales increased 17.6%, to $414.3 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $352.2 million in the same period in 2017, due primarily to organic growth of 7% driven by higher end-market demand for our products in all three of our business segments and sales from the 2018 acquisition of CDF and the fourth quarter 2017 acquisitions of Heads and All Threads (“HAT”) and an injection molding business, which aggregated $36.8 million in the third quarter of 2018.

The factors explaining the changes in segment net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the corresponding 2017 period are contained within the “Segment Results” section below.

Table of Contents

Cost of Sales & Gross Profit

Cost of sales increased to $348.4 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $295.5 million in the same period in 2017. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in net sales for the 2018 period compared to the third quarter of 2017.

Gross margin was 15.9% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 16.1% in the same period in 2017. The decrease was due to the impact of sales mix, as well as lower margins in our Assembly Components segment as explained more fully in the “Segment Results” section below.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses increased to $41.1 million, or 9.9% of sales, in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $37.7 million, or 10.7% of sales, in the same period in 2017. The increase in SG&A expenses on a dollar basis was due primarily to SG&A expenses of CDF and the acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2017, as well as higher sales and profit in 2018. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to fixed SG&A expenses spread over a higher sales base.

Other Components of Pension Income and Other Postretirement Benefits Expense, Net

In accordance with the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 2017-07, as of January 1, 2018, the Company revised its presentation of total pension income and other postretirement benefit (“OPEB”) expense, net of $1.1 million. Third quarter 2018 pension and OPEB service cost of $0.9 million is included in operating income, and Other components of pension income and OPEB expense, net totaling $2.0 million of income is included on a separate line in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The corresponding amounts for third quarter of 2017, which were pension and OPEB service cost of $0.6 million and other components of pension income and OPEB expense, net of $1.7 million of income, have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was higher in the third quarter of 2018 due primarily to higher outstanding borrowings in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017. The higher borrowings were primarily under the Company’s revolving credit facility to fund the acquisition of CDF in 2018 and the 2017 acquisitions, and higher working capital due to higher sales levels. The impact of the higher outstanding borrowings on our interest expense was partially offset by lower effective borrowing rates in the 2018 period compared to the comparable 2017 period, due primarily to the Company’s debt refinancing in April 2017.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rates were 17.8% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 20.9% in the corresponding period in 2017. The 2018 rate includes a $0.9 million benefit related to an adjustment of the Company’s estimated transition tax liability under the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). Excluding this Tax Act impact, the effective rate in the third quarter 2018 would have been 23.0%. This rate includes a benefit of approximately $2.0 million related to reversals of previously-recorded valuation allowances in certain foreign tax jurisdictions, partially offset by withholding tax expense of $0.4 million on repatriation of cash and tax expense of $0.5 million for a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the Company’s estimate of its 2018 annual effective rate. The effective rate in 2017 includes a benefit from the reversal of various income tax accruals totaling approximately $1.4 million relating to previous uncertain tax positions for which the statutes of limitations expired.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 19.6%, to $1,252.2 million in the first nine months of 2018, compared to $1,046.9 million in the same period in 2017, due primarily to organic growth of 10% driven by higher end-market demand for our products in all three of our business segments and sales from the 2018 acquisition of CDF and acquisitions completed in 2017, which aggregated $105.3 million in the first nine months of 2018.

The factors explaining the changes in segment net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the corresponding 2017 period are contained in the “Segment Results” section below.

Table of Contents

Cost of Sales & Gross Profit

Cost of sales increased to $1,048.1 million in the first nine months of 2018, compared to $875.4 million in the same period in 2017. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in net sales during the 2018 period compared to the same period in 2017.

Gross margin was comparable year-over-year at 16.3% in the first nine months of 2018 and 16.4% in the first nine months of 2017.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses increased to $131.9 million in the first nine months of 2018, compared to $112.5 million in the same period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to the SG&A expenses of CDF and the acquisitions completed in 2017, as well as higher sales and profit in 2018. SG&A expenses as a percent of sales was comparable year-over-year at 10.5% in the first nine months of 2018 and 10.7% in the first nine months of 2017.

Gain on Sale of Assets

During the first nine months of 2018, the Company sold land to a third party, resulting in cash proceeds of $2.8 million and a pre-tax gain on sale of $1.9 million.

Litigation Settlement Gain

During the first nine months of 2017, the Company paid $4.0 million to settle litigation. In connection with the settlement, the Company recognized $3.3 million of income related to the reversal of its excess litigation liability.

Other Components of Pension Income and Other Postretirement Benefits Expense, Net

In accordance with the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 2017-07, as of January 1, 2018, the Company revised its presentation of total pension income and OPEB expense, net of $3.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, pension and OPEB service cost of $2.9 million is included in operating income, and Other components of pension and OPEB expense, net totaling $6.4 million of income is included on a separate line in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The corresponding amounts for the first nine months of 2017, which were pension and OPEB service cost of $1.9 million and other components of pension income and OPEB expense, net of $4.7 million of income, have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was higher in the 2018 period due primarily to higher outstanding borrowings in the first nine months of 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. The higher borrowings were primarily under the Company’s revolving credit facility to fund the acquisition of CDF in 2018 and the 2017 acquisitions, and higher working capital due to higher sales levels. The impact of the higher outstanding borrowings on our interest expense was partially offset by lower effective borrowing rates in the 2018 period compared to the comparable 2017 period, due primarily to the Company’s debt refinancing in April 2017.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the first nine months of 2017, we incurred $11.0 million of expenses related to our debt refinancing activities. Such expenses included tender premiums, bank and other fees and accelerated amortization of certain debt issuance costs previously capitalized related to our former borrowings.

Table of Contents

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rates were 26.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 28.6% in the corresponding period in 2017. The 2018 rate is lower than the corresponding rate in 2017 due primarily to the valuation allowance reversal benefit and withholding tax expense described in the three-month discussion above. The effective rate in 2017 includes a benefit from the reversal of various income tax accruals totaling approximately $1.4 million relating to previous uncertain tax positions for which the statutes of limitations expired.

SEGMENT RESULTS

For purposes of business segment performance measurement, the Company utilizes segment operating income, which is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the product lines within each segment. The Company does not allocate items that are non-operating or unusual in nature or are corporate costs, which include but are not limited to executive and share-based compensation and corporate office costs. Segment operating income reconciles to consolidated income before income taxes by deducting corporate costs; certain non-cash and/or non-operating items; Other components of pension income and other postretirement benefits expense, net; and interest expense.

Three months ended September 30:

Net sales increased 11% in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the 2017 period due primarily to organic growth of 4% and the sales from our October 2017 acquisition of HAT. The organic growth was due primarily to higher customer demand in most of the Company's end markets, including the Company’s truck and truck-related market, which was up 27% year-over-year, and the Company’s aerospace and defense market, which was up 43% year-over-year. In our fastener manufacturing business, sales in the 2018 period were in line with the comparable period a year ago.

Segment operating income increased by $1.1 million due to the favorable impact of higher sales in the 2018 period compared to the same period a year ago. Segment operating income margin was 7.3% in the third quarter of both years.

Nine months ended September 30:

Net sales increased 16% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the 2017 period due primarily to organic growth of 8% and the sales from our 2017 acquisitions of HAT in October 2017 and Aero-Missile Components Inc. (“AMC”) in May 2017. The organic growth was due primarily to higher customer demand in most of the Company's end markets, including the Company’s truck and truck-related market, which was up 31% year-over-year, and the Company’s aerospace and defense market, which was up 39% year-over-year. In our fastener manufacturing business, sales in the 2018 period were in line with the comparable period a year ago.

Segment operating income increased by $4.5 million due to the favorable impact of higher sales in the 2018 period compared to a year ago. Segment operating income margin decreased slightly to 7.7% compared to 7.9% in the corresponding period of 2017, due to sales mix.

Three months ended September 30:

Net sales were 14% higher in the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period due primarily to higher sales volumes in our aluminum product line and the December 2017 acquisition of an injecting moldings business. The increase in sales in our aluminum product line was due to new programs, which more than offset lower volumes in our fuel products line.

Segment operating income in the 2018 period decreased by $1.4 million, and segment operating income margin decreased to 6.4% from 8.4% in the corresponding period of 2017. These decreases were due primarily to sales mix and start-up costs related to new facilities in China and Mexico. These factors were partially offset by the benefit of higher sales volumes in our aluminum product line.

Net sales were 34% higher in the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period due primarily to organic growth of 10% and sales from the CDF acquisition of $20.6 million. The organic growth was driven by increased customer demand for our induction heating and pipe threading products.

Segment operating income in the 2018 period increased by $6.6 million and segment operating income margin improved to 10.8% compared to 6.7% in the corresponding 2017 period. These increases were driven by the higher sales in the 2018 quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago and the acquisition of CDF.

Nine months ended September 30:

Table of Contents

Net sales were 37% higher in the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period due primarily to organic growth of 15% and sales from the CDF acquisition of $50.5 million. The organic growth was driven by increased customer demand for our induction heating and pipe threading products.

Segment operating income in the 2018 period increased by $15.0 million and segment operating income margin improved to 8.4% compared to 5.2% in the corresponding 2017 period. These increases were driven by the higher sales in the 2018 period compared to the same period a year ago and the acquisition of CDF.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes the major components of cash flow:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2018			2017			$ Change
Net cash provided (used) by:	(In millions)
Operating activities	$	21.8		$	27.2		$	(5.4	)

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	(2.0		)	5.1			(7.1		)
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(19.9	)	$	16.4		$	(36.3	)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased from the comparable period in the prior year, as higher profitability in 2018 was more than offset by higher working capital to support higher sales levels in the first nine months of 2018.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were $35.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and were primarily to fund growth and maintain operations. In 2018, we completed the acquisition of CDF for $35.6 million in cash. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details. Investing activities in the 2017 period included capital expenditures of $18.9 million and $10.5 million of cash paid for the AMC acquisition. The higher capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 included capital investments in China and Mexico to enable future growth.

Financing Activities

During September 2018, we repatriated cash of $24.4 million from a foreign subsidiary to the U.S., and utilized the cash to pay down a portion of the amount outstanding under our revolving credit agreement in the U.S.

Cash provided by financing activities in 2018 included borrowings on our revolving credit facility to fund the CDF acquisition and the higher working capital levels noted above. Financing activities in the comparable period of 2017 included debt refinancing in April 2017.

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

Liquidity

Table of Contents

Our liquidity needs are primarily for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations, funds available from existing bank credit arrangements and the sale of our debt securities. Our existing financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and anticipated cash flow from operations are expected to be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months, including but not limited to our ability to maintain current operations and fund capital expenditure requirements, service our debt, pay dividends, pursue acquisitions, and repurchase shares.

As of September 30, 2018, we had $173.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, approximately $199.7 million of unused borrowing availability, and cash and cash equivalents of $62.9 million. Under the Company's financing agreement with Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A (“BBVA”) discussed in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein, the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $5.8 million in an account with BBVA.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries of $54.1 million at September 30, 2018 and $76.0 million at December 31, 2017. We do not expect restrictions on repatriation of cash held outside the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for the foreseeable future.

Prior to the adoption of the Tax Act, the Company considered the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested and accordingly did not record any associated deferred income taxes on such earnings. Since the Tax Act includes a transition tax, these previously unremitted earnings for which no U.S. deferred tax liability had been accrued have now been subject to U.S. tax. Notwithstanding the U.S. taxation of these amounts, except for the $24.4 million repatriated from a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. in September 2018 as mentioned above, we intend to continue to invest all of these earnings, as well as our capital in these subsidiaries, indefinitely outside of the U.S. and do not expect to incur any significant additional taxes related to such amounts.

Senior Notes

In April 2017, Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (“Park-Ohio”), the operating subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp., completed the sale, in a private placement, of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were used to repay in full our previously outstanding 8.125% Senior Notes due 2021 and our outstanding term loan, and to repay a portion of the borrowings then outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Credit Agreement

In June 2018, the Park-Ohio entered into Amendment No. 1 to its Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment to the Credit Agreement, among other things, provided increases in the revolving credit facility from $350.0 million to $375.0 million, the Canadian revolving subcommitment from $35.0 million to $40.0 million and the European revolving subcommitment from $25.0 million to $30.0 million. Furthermore, the Company has the option, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to increase the availability under the revolving credit facility by an aggregate incremental amount up to $100.0 million.

Capital Leases

Covenants

The future availability of bank borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement is based on our ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the debt service ratio covenant could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings.

Table of Contents

The debt service coverage ratio must be greater than 1.0 and not less than 1.15 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters. At September 30, 2018, our debt service coverage ratio was 1.74, and, therefore, we were in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant in the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement. The debt service coverage ratio is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter based on the following ratio: (1) the most recently ended four fiscal quarters of consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, minus cash taxes paid, minus unfunded capital expenditures, plus cash tax refunds; to (2) consolidated debt charges, which are consolidated cash interest expense, plus scheduled principal payments on indebtedness, plus scheduled reductions in our term debt as defined in the Credit Agreement.

We were also in compliance with the other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2018. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2018, declines in sales volumes in the future could adversely impact our ability to remain in compliance with certain of these financial covenants. Additionally, to the extent our customers are adversely affected by declines in the economy in general, they may be unable to pay their accounts payable to us on a timely basis or at all, which could make our accounts receivable ineligible for purposes of the revolving credit facility and could reduce our borrowing base and our ability to borrow under such facility.

Dividends

The Company paid dividends of $4.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In October 2018, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share. The dividend will be paid on November 28, 2018 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2018 and will result in a cash outlay of approximately $1.6 million. Although we currently intend to pay a quarterly dividend on an ongoing basis, all future dividend declarations are at the discretion of our Board of Directors and dependent upon then-existing conditions, including our operating results and financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Seasonality; Variability of Operating Results

The timing of orders placed by our customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers’ finished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of our businesses. Such variability is particularly evident in our capital equipment business, included in the Engineered Products segment, which typically ships large systems at a relatively lower pace than our other businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, both contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. There were no new critical accounting policies or updates to existing critical accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except for revenue recognition. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein regarding the impact of the adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements and accounting policies.

The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Forward-Looking Statements

Table of Contents

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The words “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements, including statements regarding future performance of the Company, that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, the following: our substantial indebtedness; the uncertainty of the global economic environment; general business conditions and competitive factors, including pricing pressures and product innovation; demand for our products and services; raw material availability and pricing; fluctuations in energy costs; component part availability and pricing; changes in our relationships with customers and suppliers; the financial condition of our customers, including the impact of any bankruptcies; our ability to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions into existing operations; the amounts and timing, if any, of purchases of our common stock; changes in general economic conditions such as inflation rates, interest rates, tax rates, unemployment rates, higher labor and healthcare costs, recessions and changing government policies, laws and regulations, including those related to the current global uncertainties and crises, such as tariffs and other surcharges; adverse impacts to us, our suppliers and customers from acts of terrorism or hostilities; our ability to meet various covenants, including financial covenants, contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness; disruptions, uncertainties or volatility in the credit markets that may limit our access to capital; potential disruption due to a partial or complete reconfiguration of the European Union; increasingly stringent domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including those affecting the environment or import and export controls and other trade barriers; inherent uncertainties involved in assessing our potential liability for environmental remediation-related activities; the outcome of pending and future litigation and other claims and disputes with customers; the outcome of the review conducted by the special committee of our board of directors; our dependence on the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries, which are highly cyclical; the dependence of the automotive industry on consumer spending; our ability to negotiate contracts with labor unions; our dependence on key management; our dependence on information systems; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends, and the other factors we describe under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved.



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2018, we are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under the floating rate revolving credit facility provided by our Credit Agreement. A 100-basis-point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense on these borrowings of approximately $1.3 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. We face translation risks related to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated in U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in the Shareholders' equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Sales and expenses at our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable monthly average exchange rates. Therefore, changes in exchange rates may either positively or negatively affect our net sales and expenses from foreign operations as expressed in U.S. dollars.

Our largest exposures to commodity prices relate to metal and natural gas prices, which have fluctuated widely in recent years. We do not have any commodity swap agreements, forward purchase or hedge contracts.

Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information



Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation involves an element of uncertainty, in the opinion of management, liabilities, if any, arising from currently pending or threatened litigation are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

In addition to the routine lawsuits and asserted claims noted above, we were a party to the lawsuits and legal proceedings described below as of September 30, 2018:

We were a co-defendant in approximately 86 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 188 plaintiffs alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These asbestos cases generally relate to production and sale of asbestos-containing products and allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability, and seek compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages.

In every asbestos case in which we are named as a party, the complaints are filed against multiple named defendants. In substantially all of the asbestos cases, the plaintiffs either claim damages in excess of a specified amount, typically a minimum amount sufficient to establish jurisdiction of the court in which the case was filed (jurisdictional minimums generally range from $25,000 to $75,000), or do not specify the monetary damages sought. To the extent that any specific amount of damages is sought, the amount applies to claims against all named defendants.

There are three asbestos cases, involving 19 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages against named defendants. In each of the three cases, the plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages based on a variety of potentially alternative causes of action. In two cases, the plaintiff has alleged three counts at $3 million compensatory and punitive damages each; one count at $3 million compensatory and $1 million punitive damages; one count at $1 million. In the third case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory and punitive damages, each in the amount of $20.0 million, for three separate causes of action, and $5.0 million compensatory damages for the fifth cause of action.

Historically, we have been dismissed from asbestos cases on the basis that the plaintiff incorrectly sued one of our subsidiaries or because the plaintiff failed to identify any asbestos-containing product manufactured or sold by us or our subsidiaries. We intend to vigorously defend these asbestos cases, and believe we will continue to be successful in being dismissed from such cases. However, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings due to the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation. Despite this uncertainty, and although our results of operations and cash flows for a particular period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Among the factors management considered in reaching this conclusion were: (a) our historical success in being dismissed from these types of lawsuits on the bases mentioned above; (b) many cases have been improperly filed against one of our subsidiaries; (c) in many cases the plaintiffs have been unable to establish any causal relationship to us or our products or premises; (d) in many cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any identifiable injury or compensable loss at all or that any injuries that they have incurred did in fact result from alleged exposure to asbestos; and (e) the complaints assert claims against multiple defendants and, in most cases, the damages alleged are not attributed to individual defendants. Additionally, we do not believe that the amounts claimed in any of the asbestos cases are meaningful indicators of our potential exposure because the amounts claimed typically bear no relation to the extent of the plaintiff's injury, if any.

Our cost of defending these lawsuits has not been material to date and, based upon available information, our management does not expect its future costs for asbestos-related lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

In August 2013, we received a subpoena from the staff of the SEC in connection with the staff’s investigation of a third party. At that time, we also learned that the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) is conducting a criminal investigation of the third

party. In connection with its initial response to the staff’s subpoena, we disclosed to the staff of the SEC that, in November 2007, the third party participated in a payment on behalf of us to a foreign tax official that implicates the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Board of Directors formed a special committee to review our transactions with the third party and to make any recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect thereto. The Company intends to cooperate fully with the SEC and the DOJ in connection with their investigations of the third party and with the SEC in light of the Company’s disclosure. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or impact of the special committee’s investigation or the length, scope or results of the SEC’s review or the impact on its results of operations.
