Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Executive Overview

We are an industrial Total Supply Managementtm and diversified manufacturing business, operating in three segments: Supply Technologies, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. In November 2007, our Integrated Logistics Solutions (ILS) business changed its name to Supply Technologies to better reflect its breadth of services and focus on driving efficiencies throughout the total supply management process. Our Supply Technologies business provides our customers with Total Supply Managementtm, a proactive solutions approach that manages the efficiencies of every aspect of supplying production parts and materials to our customers' manufacturing floor, from strategic planning to program implementation. Total Supply Managementtm includes such services as engineering and design support, part usage and cost analysis, supplier selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packaging and tracking, just-in-time and point-of-use delivery, electronic billing services and ongoing technical support. The principal customers of Supply Technologies are in the heavy-duty truck, automotive and vehicle parts, electrical distribution and controls, consumer electronics, power sports/fitness equipment, HVAC, agricultural and construction equipment, semiconductor equipment, plumbing, aerospace and defense, and appliance industries. Aluminum Products casts and machines aluminum engine, transmission, brake, suspension and other components such as pump housings, clutch retainers/pistons, control arms, knuckles, master cylinders, pinion housings, brake calipers, oil pans and flywheel spacers for automotive, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, heavy-duty truck and marine equipment original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), primarily on a sole-source basis. Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering and assembly. Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of highly-engineered products including induction heating and melting systems, pipe threading systems, industrial oven systems, injection molded rubber components, and forged and machined products. Manufactured Products also produces and provides services and spare parts for the equipment it manufactures. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are OEMs, sub-assemblers and end users in the steel, coatings, forging, foundry, heavy-duty truck, construction equipment, bottling, automotive, oil and gas, rail and locomotive manufacturing and aerospace and defense industries. Sales, earnings and other relevant financial data for these three segments are provided in Note B to the consolidated financial statements.

During the years 2004 through 2007, we reinforced our long-term availability and attractive pricing of funds by refinancing both of our major sources of borrowed funds: senior subordinated notes and our revolving credit facility. In November 2004, we sold $210.0 million of 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014. We have amended our revolving credit facility, most recently in June 2007, to extend its maturity to December 2010, increase the credit limit to $270.0 million subject to an asset-based formula, and provide lower interest rate levels.

The domestic and international automotive markets were significantly impacted in 2008, which adversely affected our business units serving those markets. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded asset impairment charges associated with the recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets. The charges were composed of $.6 million of inventory impairment included in Cost of Products Sold and $17.5 million for impairment of property and equipment and other long-term assets. See Note L to the consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Accounting Changes

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of


Table of Contents

FASB Statement No. 133" ("FAS 161"). FAS 161 modifies existing requirements to include qualitative disclosures regarding the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The pronouncement also requires the cross-referencing of derivative disclosures within the financial statements and notes thereto. The requirements of FAS 161 are effective for the Company in 2009. The adoption of FAS 161 will not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("FAS 160"). FAS 160 modifies the reporting for noncontrolling interests in the balance sheet and minority interest income (expense) in the income statement. The pronouncement also requires that increases and decreases in the noncontrolling ownership interest amount be accounted for as equity transactions. FAS 160 is required to be adopted prospectively, with limited exceptions, effective for the Company in 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of FAS 160 will have on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141R"). FAS 141R modifies the accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be recorded at fair value, contingent consideration arrangements be recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and preacquisition contingencies will generally be accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value. The pronouncement also requires that transaction costs be expensed as incurred, acquired research and development be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," be met at the acquisition date in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. FAS 141R is required to be adopted prospectively effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("FAS 159"). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The pronouncement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect to measure its financial instruments or any other items at fair value as permitted by FAS 159.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 apply under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years for financial assets and liabilities, and for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company's financial assets subject to FAS 157 consisted of marketable equity securities and other investments totaling $1,235 and $7,261, respectively. The marketable securities are classified as having Level 1 inputs, as the fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets. The other investments are classified as having Level 2 inputs, as the fair value is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

           Consolidated Net Sales   $ 819.2     $ 823.6     $  (4.4 )          (1 )%

Consolidated net sales were essentially flat in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 as growth in the Manufactured Products segment nearly offset declines in Aluminum Products sales resulting from reduced automotive sales and Supply Technologies sales resulting from reduced sales to the heavy-duty truck market caused by the introduction of new environmental standards at the beginning of 2007. Supply Technologies sales decreased 1% primarily due to volume reductions in the heavy-duty truck industry, partially offset by the addition of new customers and increases in product range to existing customers. Aluminum Products sales decreased 9% as the general decline in auto industry sales volumes exceeded additional sales from new contracts starting production ramp-up. Manufactured Products sales increased 4% primarily in the induction, pipe threading equipment and forging businesses, due largely to worldwide strength in the steel, oil & gas, aerospace and rail industries. Approximately 20% of the Company's consolidated net sales are to the automotive markets. Net sales to the automotive markets as a percentage of net sales by segment were approximately 17%, 79% and 8% for the Supply Technologies, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products Segments, respectively.

     Gross Margin                            14.9 %      15.0 %

Cost of products sold were essentially flat in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, while gross margin decreased to 14.9% in the first nine months of 2008 from 15.0% in the same period of 2007.

Supply Technologies gross margin decreased slightly, as the effect of reduced heavy-duty truck sales volume outweighed the margin benefit from new sales. Aluminum Products gross margin decreased primarily due to both the costs associated with starting up new contracts and reduced volume. Gross margin in the Manufactured Products segment was essentially the same in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the comparable period in 2007.

Table of Contents

Consolidated SG&A expenses increased 11% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, representing a 1.1 percentage point increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales. SG&A expenses increased in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to higher professional fees in the Supply Technologies and Manufactured Products segments, expenses related to the new office building and other one-time charges at the corporate office consisting of losses on the sales of securities, severance costs and legal and professional fees, partially offset by a $.6 million increase in net pension credits.

Interest Expense:

      Average outstanding borrowings   $ 385.7     $ 387.6     $  (1.9 )       (1)%
      Average borrowing rate              7.15 %      8.35 %      (120 )   basis points

Interest expense decreased $3.6 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007, primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings and a lower average borrowing rate during the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in average borrowings in the first nine months of 2008 resulted primarily from increased cash flow, partially offset by increased working capital. The lower average borrowing rate in the first nine months of 2008 was due primarily to decreased interest rates under our revolving credit facility compared to the same period in 2007.

Impairment Charges

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded asset impairment charges associated with the recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets. Charges of $17.5 million were for impairment of property and equipment and other long-term assets.

Income Tax:

The provision for income taxes was $.8 million in the first nine months of 2008, an 86% effective income tax rate, compared to income taxes of $9.4 million provided in the corresponding period of 2007, a 35% effective income tax rate. We estimate that the effective tax rate for full-year 2008 will be approximately 38%.

Consolidated net sales were essentially the same in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter in 2007 as growth in the Manufactured Products segment nearly offset declines in the Supply Technologies and Aluminum Products segments. Supply Technologies sales decreased 2% primarily due to reduced sales to the heavy-duty truck market nearly offset by the addition of new customers and increases in product range to existing customers. Aluminum Products sales decreased 13% as the sales volume from new contracts starting production

ramp-up was offset by the end of production of other parts and the general decline in auto industry sales volumes. Manufactured Products sales increased 5% primarily in the induction equipment business and the pipe threading equipment and forging businesses, due largely to worldwide strength in the steel, oil & gas, aerospace and rail industries.

Supply Technologies gross margin decreased primarily from product mix. Aluminum Products gross margin decreased primarily due to the costs associated with starting up new contracts and delays in new contract volume ramp-ups. Gross margin in the Manufactured Products segment increased primarily from increased parts and service sales in the capital equipment business which have a higher gross margin.

Consolidated SG&A expenses increased 19% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter in 2007, representing an increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales of 1.8%. SG&A increased in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter in 2007 primarily due to higher professional fees in the Supply Technologies and Manufactured Products segments, expenses related to the new office building and other one-time charges at the corporate office consisting of losses on the sales of securities, severance costs and legal and professional fees, partially offset by a $.2 million increase in net pension credits.

Interest expense decreased $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007, due to a lower average borrowing rate during the third quarter of 2008 partially offset by higher average outstanding borrowings. The increase in average borrowings in the third quarter of 2008 resulted from increased working capital. The lower average borrowing rate in the third quarter of 2008 was due primarily to decreased interest rates under our revolving credit facility compared to the same period in 2007.

Impairment Changes

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded asset impairment charges associated with the recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets. Charges of $17.5 million were for impairment of property and equipment and other long-term assets.

Income Tax:

The benefit for income taxes was $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2008, a 34% effective income tax rate, compared to a provision for income taxes of $3.8 million provided in the corresponding quarter of 2007, a 38% effective income tax rate.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Our liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from existing bank credit arrangements and the sale of our senior subordinated notes. In 2003, we entered into a revolving credit facility with a group of banks which, as subsequently amended, matures at December 31, 2010 and provides for availability of up to $270 million subject to an asset-based formula. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all our assets in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Borrowings from this revolving credit facility will be used for general corporate purposes.

Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at the Company's election at either (i) LIBOR plus .75% to 1.75% or (ii) the bank's prime lending rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company's debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the revolving credit facility. Under the revolving credit facility, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $160.2 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and approximately $76.4 million of unused borrowing availability.

Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be adequate to meet current cash requirements. The future availability of bank borrowings under the revolving credit facility is based on the Company's ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the debt service ratio could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings. Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets may adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future. These market conditions may limit our ability to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities and access the capital necessary to grow and maintain our business. Accordingly, we may be forced to delay raising capital or pay unattractive interest rates, which could increase our interest expense, decrease our profitability and significantly reduce our financial flexibility. There can be no assurances that government responses to the disruptions in the financial markets will stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit.

At September 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant and other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.30 at September 30, 2008 versus 2.40 at December 31, 2007. Working capital increased by $16.5 million to $286.6 million at September 30, 2008 from $270.1 million at December 31, 2007.

During the first nine months of 2008, the Company provided $10.8 million from operating activities compared to $8.1 million in the same period of 2007. The increase in operating cash provision of $2.7 million was primarily the result of a larger increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 (an increase of $22.2 million compared to a decrease of $12.7 million, respectively), primarily due to an increase in advance billings in the first nine months of 2008 of $6.1 million versus a reduction in advance billings in the first nine months of 2007 of $7.3 million and to improvements in the timing of payments of accounts payable. This difference, plus a decrease in net income of $17.2 million, was offset by non-cash impairment charges of $17.5 million and a larger increase in accounts receivable, inventories and other current assets in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 (an increase of


Table of Contents

$31.3 million compared to an increase of $16.3 million, respectively), due to an inventory increase in the Manufactured Products Segment and a receivable increase at the Supply Technologies and Aluminum Products Segments. In the first nine months of 2008, the Company also used cash of $15.8 million for capital expenditures. These activities, plus cash interest and tax payments of $21.1 million, $3.2 million of cash paid to purchase the Company's common stock, and a net increase in borrowing of $20.3 million, resulted in an increase in cash of $14.5 million in the first nine months of 2008.

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons. There are occasions whereupon we enter into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the euro, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the U.S. dollar.

Our results of operations are typically stronger in the first six months than the last six months of each calendar year due to scheduled plant maintenance in the third quarter to coincide with customer plant shutdowns and due to holidays in the fourth quarter.

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 business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the capital equipment businesses, included in the Manufactured Products segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year.
