Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

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.

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- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized income tax expense of $0.1 million for excess tax deficiencies upon vesting of awards. 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by

7

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

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 performing contract reviews and 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 ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. 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 — Acquisitions

In April 2017, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Apollo Aerospace Components, completed the acquisition of Aero-Missile Components Inc. (“AMC”) for $10.5 million in cash. AMC is a supply chain management business providing high-quality specialty fasteners and other components to the defense and aerospace markets. The results of AMC are included in the Supply Technologies segment from the date of acquisition. As of September 30, 2017, the Company recorded goodwill of $2.1 million related to this transaction.

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.  During the third quarter 2017, the Company revised its initial estimated fair values for certain property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other assets and liabilities.The impact of the revisions made in the third quarter 2017 is immaterial to the consolidated balance sheet and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company expects to finalize its valuation of real property and income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2017. 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 EBITDA target for 2016 was not achieved. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration, valued using level 3 inputs, was approximately $0.4 million as of September 30, 2017.

NOTE 6 — Accrued Warranty Costs

The Company estimates warranty claims on products sold that may be incurred based on current and historical data. Actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance. The following table presents changes in the Company’s product warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

	2017			2016

Claims paid	(3.0		)	(1.7		)
Warranty expense, net	3.6			1.1
September 30	$	7.7		$	5.5

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, in each 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 nine months of 2017 and 2016 were 28.6% and 18.3%, respectively. The rates for both periods reflect the reversal of various income tax accruals, totaling $1.4 million in 2017 and $4.0 million in 2016, relating to previous uncertain tax positions for which the statutes of limitations expired. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

On April 17, 2017, Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (“Park-Ohio”), the operating subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp., completed the issuance, in a private placement, of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is 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 100% owned material domestic subsidiaries of Park-Ohio. Proceeds from the Notes issuance were used to repay in full the previously-outstanding 8.125% Senior Notes due 2021 in the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million, the term loan and a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

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

In connection with the April 2017 repurchase of Senior Notes due 2021 and amendment of our credit agreement, we recorded an $11.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt, representing premiums paid on early extinguishment of $8.0 million, the write-off of unamortized prior debt issuance costs of $2.5 million, and related fees and expenses of $0.5 million.

On December 21, 2016, the Company, through its subsidiary, IEGE Industrial Equipment Holding Company Limited, entered into a financing agreement with Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. The financing agreement provides the Company a loan up to $28.0 million as of September 30, 2017, as well as a revolving credit facility for up to $11.8 million to fund working capital and general corporate needs. The full $28.0 million loan is outstanding as of September 30, 2017. No amounts have been drawn on the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 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 $18.9 million were borrowed under the Lease Agreement to acquire machinery and equipment as of September 30, 2017.

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

unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation, which cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 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 Park-Ohio Holdings Corporation, 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 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.

NOTE 14 - 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 15— Subsequent Events

On November 1, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share. The dividend will be paid on November 28, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2017 and will result in a cash outlay of approximately $1.6 million.

In October 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Heads & All Threads Ltd. (“HAT”). Headquartered in Birmingham, United Kingdom, HAT is a leading European supplier of supply chain management services with operations in the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Poland, and India.

* Calculation not meaningful

Net Sales

Net sales increased12.6%, to $352.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $312.7 million in the same period in 2016, due primarily to higher end market demand for our products in our Supply Technologies and Engineered Products segments, and sales from GH Electrotermia S.A. (“GH”), which was acquired in December 2016. In our Assembly Components segment, lower sales volumes in our rubber and plastic product lines were partially offset by higher sales volumes in our filler pipe and fuel rail product lines.

The factors explaining the changes in segment net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the corresponding 2016 period are contained within the “Segment Results” section below.

Cost of Sales & Gross Profit

Cost of sales increased to $295.0 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $258.4 million in the same period in 2016. The increase incost of sales was primarily due to the increase in net sales for the 2017 period compared to the third quarter of 2016.

Gross margin was 16.2% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to 17.4% in the same period in 2016. The decrease was largely due to start-up costs related to our new facilities in China; lower absorption due to lower sales in our extruded rubber and plastics business in Assembly Components; and unfavorable mix of product sales as well as incremental costs to prepare for the build-out of significant new orders in Engineered Products. These factors more than offset the higher profit flow-through from higher sales in our Supply Technologies business.

18

Selling, General &Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses

SG&A expenses increased to $36.5 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $33.4 million in the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily due to SG&A expenses associated with GH. SG&A expenses as a percent of sales was 10.4% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to 10.7% in the third quarter of 2016. The percentage decrease was due primarily to fixed SG&A expenses over a higher sales base.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was higher in the 2017 quarter due primarily to higher outstanding borrowings in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter a year ago. Interest expense on the outstanding senior notes was higher in the third quarter due to the higher principal amount, which more than offset the lower interest rate due to the April 2017 refinancing. In addition, the third quarter of 2017 included interest expense on the GH-related debt, which the Company incurred in December 2016.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The effective income tax rates were 20.9% in the 2017 period and (0.7)% in the 2016 period. The rates in both periods reflect the reversal of various income tax accruals totaling approximately $1.4 million in 2017 and $4.0 million in 2016 relating to previous uncertain tax positions for which the statues of limitations expired. The rates in both periods were also favorably impacted by earnings in foreign jurisdictions in which the income tax rates are lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate. 

Net Income

Net income decreased to $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2016, due primarily to the larger 2016 tax accrual reversal noted above.

* Calculation not meaningful

Net Sales

Net sales increased7.9%, to $1,046.9 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to $970.1 million in the same period in 2016, mainly due to higher end market demand for our products in our Supply Technologies and Engineered Products segments, and sales from GH, which was acquired in December 2016. In our Assembly Components segment, lower sales volumes in our rubber and plastic and aluminum product lines were partially offset by higher sales volumes in our filler pipe and fuel rail product lines.

The factors explaining the changes in segment net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 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 $873.9 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to $813.7 million in the same period in 2016. The increase incost of sales was primarily due to the increase in net sales during the 2017 period compared to the same period a year ago.

20

Gross margin was 16.5% in the first nine months of 2017 compared to 16.1% in the same period in 2016. The increase in gross margin was largely due to the higher profit flow-through from higher overall sales in the 2017 period.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses increased to $109.3 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to $99.9 million in the same period in 2016. SG&A expenses as a percent of sales increased to 10.4% in the first nine months of 2017 compared to 10.3% in the first nine months of 2016. These increases were primarily due to the SG&A associated with GH.

Litigation Settlement Gain

During the first nine months of 2017, the Company paid $4.0 million to settle the IPSCO litigation. In connection with the settlement, 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 nine months of 2016 due to the accelerated end of production in certain programs with an automotive customer in our aluminum products business.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was higher in the first nine months of 2017 due primarily to higher outstanding borrowings in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months a year ago. Interest expense on the outstanding senior notes was higher due to the higher principal amount, which more than offset the lower interest rate due to the April 2017 refinancing. In addition, the first nine months of 2017 included interest expense on the GH-related debt, which the Company incurred in December 2016. With respect to the revolving credit facility and term loan, higher interest rates in 2016 offset the benefit of lower outstanding borrowings as a result of debt repayments in connection with the 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 related to our former borrowings that were previously capitalized.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate was 28.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 18.3% in the corresponding period of 2016. The rates in both periods reflect the reversal of various income tax accruals totaling approximately $1.4 million in 2017 and $4.0 million in 2016 relating to previous uncertain tax positions for which the statues of limitations expired. The rates in both periods were also favorably impacted by earnings in foreign jurisdictions in which the income tax rates are lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate. 

Net Income

Net income decreased to $23.5 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to $25.5 million in the first nine months of 2016, due primarily to the larger 2016 tax accrual reversal noted 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-

21

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.

Supply Technologies Segment

Segment operating income margin	7.8		%	8.0		%	8.3		%	8.0		%

Three months ended September 30:

Net sales increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the 2016 period due primarily to higher customer demand in the truck and truck-related market, which was up 24% year-over-year; the semiconductor market, which was up 43% year-over-year; the power sports and recreational equipment market, which was up 10% year-over-year; and the aerospace market, which was up 33% year-over-year. In addition, sales were higher in our fastener manufacturing business in the 2017 period due to increasing customer demand of our proprietary products.

Segment operating income increased by $1.2 million due to the favorable impact of higher sales in the 2017 period compared to a year ago. Segment operating income margin decreased slightly to 7.8% compared to 8.0% in the corresponding period of 2016, due to timing of sales mix.

Nine months ended September 30:

Net sales increased in the first nine 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 14% year-over-year; the semiconductor market, which was up 52% year-over-year; and the aerospace market, which was up 29% year-over-year. In addition, sales were higher in our fastener manufacturing business in the 2017 period due to increasing customer demand of our proprietary products.

Segment operating income increased by $3.8 million, and segment operating income margin increased to 8.3% compared to 8.0% in the corresponding period of 2016. These increases were driven by the sales volume increases noted above.

Assembly Components Segment

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Segment operating income	$	11.4		$	13.9		$	37.0		$	38.3
Segment operating income margin	8.9		%	10.4		%	9.4		%	9.6		%

Three months ended September 30:

Net sales were lower in the 2017 period compared to the 2016 period due primarily to lower sales volumes in our extruded rubber and plastic product lines, which more than offset higher sales volumes in our fuel filler pipe and fuel rail product lines.

22

The lower sales in our extruded rubber and plastics product lines was due to the end of life in certain programs. The higher sales volumes in our fuel products businesses were driven by new product launches and higher foreign sales.

Segment operating income in the 2017 period decreased by $2.5 million, driven by the lower sales levels noted above. The segment operating income margin for the quarter was also down due to start-up costs related to our new facilities in China; and lower absorption due to lower sales in our extruded rubber and plastics business in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period a year ago.

Nine months ended September 30:

Net sales were lower in the 2017 period compared to the 2016 period due primarily to lower sales volumes in our extruded rubber and plastic and aluminum product lines, which more than offset higher sales volumes in our fuel filler pipe and fuel rail product lines. The lower sales in our extruded rubber and plastic product lines were due to the end of life in certain programs. The lower sales in aluminum were due to the end of production in certain programs in 2016. The higher sales volumes in our fuel products businesses were driven by new product launches and higher foreign sales.

Segment operating income in the first nine months of 2017 decreased by $1.3 million, and segment operating income margin decreased to 9.4% compared to 9.6% in the corresponding period of 2016. These decreases were driven by the lower sales volumes noted above.

Three months ended September 30:

Net sales were 47% higher in the 2017 period compared to the 2016 period due primarily to sales from GH of $13.2 million, which was acquired in December 2016, and increased customer demand for our induction heating and pipe threading products.

Segment operating income in the 2017 period increased by $2.0 million and segment operating income margin improved to 7.1% compared to 7.0% in the corresponding 2016 period. These increases were driven by the higher sales in the 2017 quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Nine months ended September 30:

Net sales were 28% higher in the 2017 period compared to the 2016 period due primarily to sales from GH of $37.3 million, which was acquired in December 2016, and increased customer demand for our induction heating and pipe threading products.

Segment operating income in the 2017 period increased by $4.9 million, and segment operating income margin improved to 5.7% compared to 4.6% in the corresponding 2016 period. These increases were driven by the higher sales in 2017 compared to a year ago.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

23

The following table summarizes the major components of cash flow:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017			2016			$ Change
Net cash (used) provided by:	(In millions)
Operating activities	$	27.2		$	40.8		$	(13.6	)
Investing activities	(29.4		)	(20.3		)	(9.1		)
Financing activities	13.5			(24.4		)	37.9
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	5.1			(0.4		)	5.5
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	16.4		$	(4.3	)	$	20.7

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased from the prior-year period due to higher working capital needs driven by higher sales levels in 2017, as well as the $4.0 million litigation settlement payment in the first quarter of 2017. Higher sales levels drove an increase in accounts receivable of $29.9 million.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures decreased by $1.4 million compared to the prior-year period due to timing of expenditures. In 2017, we completed the acquisition of AMC for $10.5 million. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities in 2017 reflected the net proceeds from our issuance of senior notes in April 2017, partially offset by net repayments under our amended and restated revolving credit facility and the payoff of our previously-outstanding term loan. Overall, our net borrowings and cash provided by operating activities were used to fund higher working capital needs, the litigation settlement payment, our quarterly cash dividend payments, share repurchases, and debt refinancing costs. In addition, our cash balances increased by $16 million at September 30 compared to the beginning of 2017. In the 2016 period, net cash used by financing activities reflected debt pay-downs and our quarterly cash dividends, which were both funded by our operating cash flows in the 2016 period.

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

Liquidity

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 funds 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.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries of $72.5 million at September 30, 2017 and $54.4 million at December 31, 2016. For each of our foreign subsidiaries, we make a determination regarding the amount of earnings intended for permanent reinvestment, with the balance, if any, available to be repatriated to the United States. The cash held by foreign subsidiaries for permanent reinvestment is generally used to finance the foreign subsidiaries’ operational activities and/or future foreign investments. At September 30, 2017, management believed that sufficient liquidity was available in the United States, and it is our current intention to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries

24

outside of the United States. Although we have no intention to repatriate the approximately $148.1 million of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017, if we were to repatriate these earnings, there could potentially be an adverse tax impact.

Senior Notes

On April 17, 2017, we 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 outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Credit Agreement

On April 17, 2017, the Company entered into Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, among other things, provides an increased revolving credit facility of up to $350.0 million and extends the maturity date of borrowings under the facility to April 17, 2022. 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.

As of September 30, 2017, we had $100.3 million outstanding and $205.3 million of unused borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement, which includes the effect of Amendment 6 to the Amended Credit Agreement. Also, as of September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $80.7 million.

Capital Leases

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 $18.9 million were borrowed under the Lease Agreement to acquire machinery and equipment as of September 30, 2017.

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.

At September 30, 2017, our debt service coverage ratio was 2.1, 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. The debt service coverage ratio must be greater than 1.0 and not less than 1.15 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters. We were also in compliance with the other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2017. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2017, declines in sales volumes in 2017 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 $5.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In November 2017, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share. The dividend will be paid on November 28,

25

2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2017 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 will be 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, 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 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

26

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 September 30, 2017, we are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under the floating rate revolving credit facility provided by our Credit Agreement, which consisted of borrowings of $100.3 million at September 30, 2017. A 100-basis-point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense on these borrowings of approximately $0.8 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first nine months of 2017, we recorded a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to net assets located outside the United States. This foreign currency translation adjustment of $18.9 million 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 third quarter of 2017 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, 2017:

We were a co-defendant in approximately 89 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 143 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 three counts at $3.0 million compensatory and punitive damages each; one count at $3 million compensatory and $1 million punitive damages; one count at $1.0 million. 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 million 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 Park-Ohio Holdings Corporation, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas claiming that equipment

28

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 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.
