     CLEVELAND, OHIO, March 8, 2007 — Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:PKOH) today announced results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.
FULL YEAR RESULTS
     Park-Ohio reported net income of $24.2 million or $2.11 per share dilutive for 2006, compared to net income of $30.8 million or $2.70 per share dilutive for 2005. Net income in 2006 and 2005 increased by the reversal of $5.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance, while federal income taxes were not expensed in 2005. Park-Ohio reported record net income, fully-taxed(A) of $19.2 million or $1.68 per share dilutive for 2006, a 4% increase on 2005 net income, fully-taxed(A) of $18.5 million or $1.62 per share dilutive (refer to Table 1 below). Park-Ohio reported net sales of $1,056.2 million for 2006, a 13% increase on sales of $932.9 million in 2005.
FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
     Park-Ohio reported net income of $10.8 million or $.94 per share dilutive for fourth quarter 2006, compared to net income of $12.0 million or $1.05 per share dilutive for the same quarter of 2005. Net income in 2006 and 2005 increased by the reversal of $5.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance, while federal income taxes were not expensed in 2005. Park-Ohio reported net sales of $270.4 million for fourth quarter 2006, a 12% increase on sales of $241.0 million for the same quarter of 2005.
     Edward F. Crawford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with the Company’s record operating profit in 2006. We expect the first quarter of 2007 to be sluggish because of reduced activity in the domestic auto and heavy-duty truck markets. Despite that slow start, our Company is well positioned with its diversity and global presence to generate approximately 10% sales growth and 25% earnings growth this year, producing EBIT of $72 to $78 million and diluted earnings per share of $2.10 to $2.35 in 2007.”

The Company presents fully-taxed net income and EPS reflecting equalized tax rates to facilitate comparison between periods.
(1)   Net Income in fourth quarter 2006 and 2005 increased by the reversal $5.0 and $7.3 million, respectively, of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance, substantially eliminating this allowance. Based on strong recent and projected earnings, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset will be realized. The tax valuation allowance reversal resulted in an increase to net income for the fourth quarter of each year.
(2)   In 2006, following the reversal of a portion of its deferred tax valuation allowance, the Company began recording a quarterly provision for federal income taxes. For 2006, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 30% excluding the tax valuation allowance reversal, compared to 11% and 19% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Park-Ohio’s net operating loss carry-forward precluded the payment of cash federal income taxes in 2006 and should substantially reduce cash payments in 2007.

Note A—In 2006, the Company began recording a quarterly provision for federal income taxes, resulting in a total effective income tax rate of approximately 30 percent. The Company’s significant net operating loss carryforwards precluded the cash payment of federal income taxes in 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2006 and 2005 the Company reversed its deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $5.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively.
Note B—EBITDA, as defined, reflects earnings before interest, income taxes, and excludes depreciation, amortization, certain non-cash charges and corporate-level expenses as defined in the Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement. EBITDA is not a measure of performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. The Company presents EBITDA because management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indication of the Company’s satisfaction of its Debt Service Ratio covenant in its revolving credit agreement and because EBITDA is a measure used under the Company’s revolving credit facility to determine whether the Company may incur additional debt under such facility. EBITDA as defined herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA, as defined:
