Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2017

NOTE 1 — Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “our” or the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (“Holdings”).

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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-month period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 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, 2016.

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 March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of related amounts within the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2017.

ASU 2016-09 requires prospective recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies resulting from share-based compensation awards vesting and exercises be recognized as a discrete income tax adjustment in the income statement. Previously, these amounts were recognized in Additional paid-in capital. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, an immaterial amount of net excess tax benefits was recognized as a reduction in income tax expense. In addition, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits and shortfalls to be prospectively excluded from the assumed future proceeds in the calculation of diluted shares, resulting in an insignificant increase in diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and an immaterial impact on earnings per share. ASU 2016-09 also requires that excess tax benefits from share-based compensation awards be reported as operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Previously, this activity was included in financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company has elected to apply this change on a prospective basis. This change has an immaterial impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Also, we elected to continue to estimate forfeitures rather than account for them as they occur.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill impairment." The amendments in the ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance for any impairment test performed after January 1, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which was the result of a joint project by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The ASU will require either retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented or modified retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of ASU 2014-09, and the related ASUs, across all its businesses. This includes reviewing current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements under the new standard. The Company expects to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption effective January 1, 2018. We are still evaluating the impact and an estimation of the impact cannot be made at this time. In addition, the standard requires new substantial disclosures and we continue to evaluate these requirements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in the ASU address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The FASB also is addressing measurement of credit losses on financial assets in a separate project. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. The new guidance will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

    
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).” The ASU establishes a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard: (a) clarifies the definition of a lease; (b) requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications; and (c) causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease term of more than twelve months. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition for capital or operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but it does not require transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

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 is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2018. 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 — 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 items and interest expense.

NOTE 4 — Acquisition

In December 2016, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of GH Electrotermia S.A. (“GH”), headquartered in Valencia, Spain, for $23.4 million in cash (net of $6.3 million cash acquired), plus the assumption of $13.9 million in debt.  The allocation of the purchase price, which is materially unchanged from December 31, 2016, is subject to finalization of the Company's determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The Company has not yet finalized its analysis of the fair value of property, plant and equipment; intangible assets; noncontrolling interests; deferred taxes and certain other assets and liabilities. The final allocation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable but no later than twelve months after the acquisition date. In addition, the purchase agreement stipulates potential contingent consideration of up to $2.1 million based on achievement of certain EBITDA targets for 2016 and 2017. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration, valued using level 3 inputs, was approximately $1.1 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

NOTE 7 — Income Taxes

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

The effective income tax rates for the first three months of 2017 and 2016 were 31.8% and 37.2%, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. It is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by approximately $1.4 million as a result of the closure of tax statutes related to existing uncertain tax positions.

See Note 15 - Subsequent Events for a discussion of the Company's refinancing of its Senior Notes (as defined below) and Amended Credit Agreement (as described below), and the repayment of its term loan on April 17, 2017.

On December 21, 2016, the Company, through its subsidiary, IEGE Industrial Equipment Holding Company Limited, entered into a financing agreement with Banco Bolbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. The financing agreement provides the Company the ability to borrow up to $36.9 million, including a loan for $26.4 million for the acquisition of GH as well as a revolving credit facility for up to $10.5 million to fund working capital and general corporate needs. The full amount of the loan is outstanding as of March 31, 2017; no amounts have been drawn on the $10.5 million revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2017.

On April 22, 2016, the Company further amended its revolving credit facility (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to

•
increase the revolving credit facility to $300.0 million;
•
increase the inventory advance rate from 50% to 65%, reducing back to 50% on a pro-rata quarterly basis over 36 months commencing July 1, 2016;
•
reload the term loan up to $35.0 million, of which $22.3 million has been borrowed and is outstanding as of March 31, 2017;
•
increase the Canadian sub-limit up to $35.0 million;
•
increase the European sub-limit up to $25.0 million; and
•
provide minor pricing adjustments including pricing the first $35.0 million drawn on the revolving credit facility at LIBOR plus 3.50%, reducing automatically on a pro-rata quarterly basis over 36 months commencing July 1, 2016.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. At the Company’s election, domestic amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement may be borrowed at either: LIBOR plus 1.5% to 2.5%; or the bank’s prime lending rate minus 0.25% to 1.25%. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. Amounts borrowed under the sub-limit may be borrowed at either: the Canadian deposit offered rate plus 1.5% to 2.5%; the Canadian prime lending rate plus 0.0% to 1.0%; or the U.S. base rate plus 0.0% to 1.0%.

On October 21, 2015, the Company, through its Southwest Steel Processing LLC subsidiary, entered into a financing agreement with the Arkansas Development Finance Authority. The financing agreement provides the Company the ability to borrow up to $11.0 million for expansion of its manufacturing facility in Arkansas. The financing agreement matures in September 2025. The Company had $6.1 million of borrowings outstanding under this agreement as of March 31, 2017.

On August 13, 2015, the Company entered into a Capital Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”). The Lease Agreement provides the Company up to $50.0 million for capital leases. Capital lease obligations of $19.9 million were borrowed under the Lease Agreement to acquire machinery and equipment as of March 31, 2017.

The term loan is amortized based on a seven-year schedule with the balance due at maturity (July 31, 2019). At the Company's election, amounts borrowed under the term loan may be borrowed at either: LIBOR plus 2.0% to 3.0%; or the bank’s prime lending rate minus 0.75% to plus 0.25%.

(a) During the first quarter of 2017, 55,000 of the performance-based restricted shares granted in 2016 fully vested based on the achievement of the performance criteria. In accordance with the grant agreements, the remaining 110,000 shares became time-based, vesting over the remaining two years of the requisite service period.

Total stock-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses during the first three months of 2017 and 2016 was $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, there was $6.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation, which cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

NOTE 10 — 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.

IPSCO Tubulars Inc. d/b/a TMK IPSCO sued Ajax Tocco Magnethermic Corporation (“ATM”), a subsidiary of the Company, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas claiming that equipment supplied by ATM for heat treating certain steel pipe at IPSCO's Blytheville, Arkansas facility did not perform as required by the contract. The complaint alleged causes of action for breach of contract, gross negligence and constructive fraud. IPSCO sought approximately $10.0 million in damages plus an unspecified amount of punitive damages. In September 2013, the district court issued a judgment in favor of IPSCO in the amount of $5.2 million, which the Company recognized and accrued for at that time. In March 2016, the district court issued an order granting, in part, IPSCO's motion for fees and costs and awarding $2.2 million to IPSCO, which the Company accrued for as of December 31, 2015. ATM filed a third appeal of that decision. On March 28, 2017, the Company and IPSCO agreed to a settlement and release of all claims for the payment by the Company of $4.0 million to IPSCO, which was made in March 2017. 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 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.

NOTE 13 — Asset Impairment

In the first quarter of 2016, due to the accelerated end of production in certain programs with an automotive customer, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets in accordance with ASU 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment." As the carrying value of the assets exceeded the expected undiscounted cash flows, the Company estimated the fair value of these assets to determine whether impairment existed. The fair value of the assets was estimated, using Level 2 inputs, based on the expected sale proceeds of similar machinery and equipment as determined using third party quotes and appraisals. As a result of its analysis, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $4.0 million.


NOTE 14 — Supplemental Guarantor Information

Each of the material domestic direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) has fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, to pay principal, premium, and interest with respect to the Company's Senior Notes. Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is “100% owned,” as defined by Rule 3-10(h)(1) of Regulation S-X.

The guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary will automatically terminate, and the obligations of such Guarantor Subsidiary under its guarantee of Senior Notes will be released:

(a) in the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or all of the capital stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise;

(b) upon designation of any Subsidiary Guarantor as an “unrestricted subsidiary” (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Indenture”);

(c) upon defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture; and

(d) upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor's guarantees under all credit facilities of the Company (other than a release as a result of payment under or a discharge of such guarantee).

The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial statements present condensed consolidating balance sheets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, condensed consolidating statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, and reclassification and elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent and all of its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidating financial statements present investments in subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. The “Parent” reflected in the accompanying supplemental guarantor information is Park-Ohio Industries, Inc., who is also a guarantor.

On April 17, 2017, the Company completed the issuance, in a private placement, of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2017, and the Notes mature on April 15, 2027. The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of Park-Ohio and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the material domestic subsidiaries of Park-Ohio. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay in full the Senior Notes and the Company’s term loan under the Amended Credit Agreement, and to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Agreement.

On April 17, 2017, the Company also entered into a seventh amended and restated credit agreement (the “Further Amended Credit Agreement”) with a group of banks. The Further Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, provides an increased revolving credit facility of up to $350.0 million, extends the maturity date of borrowings under the facility to April 17, 2022. Furthermore, the Company has the option, pursuant to the Further Amended Credit Agreement, to increase the availability under the revolving credit facility by an aggregate incremental amount up to $100.0 million.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 4.8%, to $343.8 million in the first three months of 2017, compared to $328.0 million in the same period in 2016, mainly due to higher end market demand for our products in our Supply Technologies and Assembly Components segments and sales from GH Electrotermia S.A. (“GH”), which was acquired in December 2016, all partially offset by lower end market demand in our Engineered Products segment.

The factors explaining the changes in segment net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding 2016 period are contained in the “Segment Results” section below.

Cost of Sales & Gross Profit

Cost of sales increased to $288.3 million in the first three months of 2017, compared to $280.2 million in the same period in 2016. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in net sales in each of our segments.

Gross margin was 16.1% in the first three months of 2017 compared to 14.6% in the same period in 2016. The increase in gross margin was largely due to the profit flow-through from higher sales in the 2017 period; improved product mix; and the favorable impact of cost reduction actions taken in 2016.

21


SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses increased to $36.6 million in the first three months of 2017, compared to $32.4 million in the same period in 2016. SG&A expenses as a percent of sales increased to 10.6% in the first three months of 2017 compared to 9.9% in the first three months of 2016. These increases were primarily due to the SG&A associated with GH.

Litigation Settlement Gain

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company paid $4.0 million to settle the IPSCO litigation. As a result, the Company recognized $3.3 million of income related to the reversal of its excess litigation liability.

Asset Impairment Charge

An asset impairment charge of $4.0 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2016 due to the accelerated end of production in certain programs with an automotive customer in our aluminum products business.

Interest expense increased $0.3 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due primarily to higher outstanding borrowings.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate was 31.8% in the three months ended 2017 and 37.2% in the corresponding period of 2016. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in non-deductible items.

Net Income

Net income increased to $10.1 million in the first three months of 2017, compared to $2.7 million in the first three months of 2016, due to the reasons described above.

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 items and interest expense.

Net sales increased in the first three months of 2017 compared to the 2016 period due primarily to higher customer demand in the power sports and recreational equipment market, which was up 17%; and the semiconductor market, which was up 61% year-over-year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales in the truck and truck-related market, which was down 17% compared to a year ago. In addition, sales were higher in our fastener business in the 2017 period due to increasing customer demand of our proprietary products.

Segment operating income increased by $1.1 million, and segment operating income margin increased to 8.5% compared to the corresponding 2016 period of 7.9%. These increases were driven by the volume increases noted above.

Net sales were higher in the 2017 period compared to the 2016 period due primarily to higher sales volumes in our fuel filler pipe and fuel rail product lines, driven by new product launches and higher sales outside the U.S. These sales increases more than offset decreased volumes in our aluminum business, which was down due to the accelerated end of production in certain programs in 2016.

Segment operating income in 2017 increased by $2.3 million, and segment operating income margin increased to 9.0% compared to the corresponding 2016 period of 7.7%. These increases were driven by the higher sales levels noted above and the resulting flow-through.

Net sales were higher in the 2017 period compared to the 2016 period due primarily to sales from our GH acquisition, which was completed in December 2016. Excluding the impact of GH, sales were lower in the 2017 period due to lower customer demand in our induction heating, pipe threading and forging and machined products compared to 2016.

Segment operating income in 2017 increased by $0.3 million, and segment operating income margin improved to 2.4% compared to 2.1% in the corresponding 2016 period. These increases were driven by the favorable impact of the GH acquisition and cost reduction actions taken in 2016.

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, 2016, both contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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. 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

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 domestic 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; 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

24

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, 2016. 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 March 31, 2017, we are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under the floating rate revolving credit facility and term loan provided by our Amended Credit Agreement, which consisted of borrowings of $168.1 million at March 31, 2017. A 100-basis-point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense on these borrowings of approximately $0.4 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first three months of 2017, we recorded a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of $3.9 million related to net assets located outside the United States. This foreign currency translation adjustment resulted primarily from the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro, the Canadian Dollar and the British Pound. Our foreign operations are also subject to other customary risks of operating in a global environment, such as unstable political situations, the effect of local laws and taxes, tariff increases and regulations and requirements for export licenses, the potential imposition of trade or foreign exchange restrictions and transportation delays.
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 first quarter of 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

25

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 March 31, 2017:

We were a co-defendant in approximately 98 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 193 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 four asbestos cases, involving 21 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages against named defendants. In each of the four cases, the plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages based on a variety of potentially alternative causes of action. In three cases, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory and punitive damages in the amount of $3.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, for four separate causes of action, $1.0 million for a fifth cause of action and $3 million for a sixth cause of action. In the fourth 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 compensatory damages for the fourth 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.

IPSCO Tubulars Inc. d/b/a TMK IPSCO sued Ajax Tocco Magnethermic Corporation (“ATM”), a subsidiary of the Company, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas claiming that equipment supplied by ATM for heat treating certain steel pipe at IPSCO's Blytheville, Arkansas facility did not perform as required by the contract. The complaint alleged causes of action for breach of contract, gross negligence and constructive fraud. IPSCO sought approximately $10.0 million in damages plus an unspecified amount of punitive damages. In September 2013, the district court issued a judgment in favor of IPSCO in the amount of $5.2 million, which the Company recognized and accrued for at that time. In March 2016, the district court issued an order granting, in part, IPSCO's motion for fees and costs and awarding $2.2 million to IPSCO, which the Company accrued for as of December 31, 2015. ATM filed a third appeal of that decision. On March 28, 2017, the Company and IPSCO agreed to a settlement and release of all claims for the payment by the Company of $4.0 million to IPSCO, which was made in March 2017. 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.
In August 2013, we received a subpoena from the staff of the Securities Exchange Commission (“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.
