Annual Report


Item 7. 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. The historical financial information is not directly comparable on a year-to-year basis, primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge in 2008, recording of a tax valuation allowance in 2008, restructuring and unusual charges in 2008, 2006 and 2005, reversal of a tax valuation allowance in 2007 and acquisitions during the three years ended December 31, 2008.

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 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 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 refinanced 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.

In October 2006, we acquired all of the capital stock of NABS for $21.2 million in cash. NABS is a premier international supply chain manager of production components, providing services to high technology companies in the computer, electronics, and consumer products industries. NABS had 14 international operations in China, India, Taiwan, Singapore, Ireland, Hungary, Scotland and Mexico plus five locations in the United States.

In January 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the capital stock of Foundry Service for approximately $3.2 million in cash, which resulted in additional goodwill of $2.3 million. The acquisition was funded with borrowings from foreign subsidiaries of the Company.

In December 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Lectrotherm, which is primarily a provider of field service and spare parts for induction heating and melting systems, located in Canton, Ohio, for $5.1 million cash funded with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This acquisition augments our existing, high-margin aftermarket induction business.

In July 2005, we acquired substantially all the assets of PPG, a provider of supply chain management services for a broad range of production components for $7.0 million cash funded with borrowings from our revolving credit facility, $.5 million in a short-term note payable and the assumption of approximately $13.3 million of trade liabilities. This acquisition added significantly to the customer and supplier bases, and expanded our geographic presence of our Supply Technologies segment.

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 O to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $95.8 million and restructuring and asset impairment charges of $13.4 million associated with the decision to exit its relationship with its largest customer, Navistar, along with the general economic downturn. The charges were composed of $5.0 million of inventory impairment included in Cost of Products Sold and $8.4 million for impairment of property and equipment, loss on disposal of a foreign subsidiary and severance costs. Impairment charges were offset by a gain of $.6 million recorded in the Aluminum Products segment relating to the sale of certain facilities that were previously written off.

Approximately 20% of the Company's consolidated net sales are to the automotive markets. The recent deterioration in the global economy and global credit markets continues to negatively impact the automotive markets. General Motors, Ford and Chrsyler have encountered severe financial difficulty, which could ultimately result in the bankruptcy in one or more of these domestic automobile manufacturers, which, in turn, would adversely affect the financial condition of the Company's automobile OEM customers. In 2009, the Company expects that its business, results of operations and financial condition will continue to be negatively impacted by the performance of the automotive markets.

Accounting Changes and Goodwill

On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans" ("FAS 158"). FAS 158 required the Company to recognize the funded status ( i.e. , the difference between the Company's fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations) of its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans (collectively, the "postretirement benefit plans") in the December 31, 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption represents the net unrecognized actuarial losses, unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized transition obligation remaining from the initial adoption of FAS 87 and FAS 106, all of which were previously netted against the postretirement benefit plans' funded status in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with the provisions of FAS 87 and FAS 106. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic benefit cost in accordance with the Company's historical accounting policy for amortizing these amounts. In addition, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic benefit cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost on the same basis as the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption of FAS 158.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised), "Share-Based Payment" ("FAS 123R"). FAS 123R requires that the


Table of Contents

cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and establishes a fair-value measurement objective in determining the value of such a cost. FAS 123R was effective as of January 1, 2006. FAS 123R is a revision of FAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. The adoption of fair-value recognition provisions for stock options increased the Company's fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 compensation expense by $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million (before tax), respectively.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"), we review goodwill annually for potential impairment. This review was performed as of October 1, 2007 and 2006, using forecasted discounted cash flows, and it was determined that no impairment is required. At December 31, 2007, our balance sheet reflected $101.0 million of goodwill. In 2008, this review was performed as of October 1 and updated as of December 31 and the Company determined that a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $95.8 million related to our Supply Technologies and Aluminum Products segments was required. As of December 31, 2008, after the impact of the $95.8 million impairment charge, we had goodwill remaining of $4.1 million.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109"), and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has a 50% or less likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. See Note H to the consolidated financial statements for the impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

         Consolidated Net Sales   $ 1,068.8     $ 1,071.4     $  (2.6 )           0 %

Consolidated net sales were essentially flat in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 as growth in 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 semiconductor, lawn and garden, auto, plumbing and heavy-duty truck markets. Supply Technologies sales decreased 2% 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 8% as the general decline in auto industry sales volumes exceeded additional sales from new contracts starting production ramp-up. Manufactured Products sales increased 5% 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 sales by segment were

approximately 13%, 79% and 5% for the Supply Technologies, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products Segments, respectively.

     Gross margin                            14.0 %      14.8 %

Cost of products sold increased $7.0 million in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, while gross margin decreased to 14.0% in 2008 from 14.8% in the same period of 2007.

Supply Technologies gross margin decreased slightly, as the effect of reduced heavy-duty truck sales volume and restructuring charges 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 increased in 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to increased volume in the induction, pipe threading equipment and forging businesses.

          SG&A percent                     9.9 %      9.2 %

Consolidated SG&A expenses increased $6.8 million in 2008 compared to 2007 representing a .7% increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales. SG&A expenses increased primarily due to higher professional fees in the Supply Technologies and Manufactured Products segments, expenses related to a 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 and a reversal of year end bonus accruals.

                                                    (Dollars in millions)

      Interest expense                 $  27.9     $  31.6     $  (3.7 )      (12)%
      Average outstanding borrowings   $ 385.8     $ 383.6     $   2.2          1%
      Average borrowing rate              7.23 %      8.23 %       101     basis points

Interest expense decreased $3.7 million in 2008 compared to 2007, primarily due to a lower average borrowing rate during 2008 offset by slightly higher average borrowings. The increase in average borrowings in 2008 resulted primarily from decreased cash flow and increased working capital. The lower average borrowing rate in 2008 was due primarily to decreased interest rates under our revolving credit facility compared to 2007.

Impairment Charges:

During 2008, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $95.8 million. The Company also recorded asset impairment charges of $25.3 million associated with the recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets, loss from the disposal of a foreign subsidiary and restructuring expenses associated with the Company's exit from its relationship with its largest customer, Navistar, Inc., along with realignment of its distribution network.

Gain on Purchase of 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes:

In 2008, Park Ohio-Holdings Corp. purchased $11.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Notes, which were issued by Park-Ohio Industries, Inc., for $4.7 million. After writing off $.1 million of deferred financing costs, the Company recorded a net gain of $6.2 million. The 8.375% Notes were not contributed to Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. but are held by Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.

Effective income tax rate, excluding tax valuation allowance (Non-GAAP)            13 %             32 %

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a $33.6 million valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2008, the Company was in a cumulative three-year loss position and determined that it was not more likely than not that its deferred tax asset would be realized.

The provision for income taxes was $21.0 million in 2008 compared to $10.0 million in 2007. The effective income tax rate was (21)% in 2008, compared to 32% in 2007.

The Company's net operating loss carryforward precluded the payment of most cash federal income taxes in both 2008 and 2007, and should similarly preclude such payments in 2009. At December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $42.1 million, which will expire between 2022 and 2028.

Table of Contents

introduction of new environmental standards at the beginning of 2007. Supply Technologies sales decreased 11% primarily due to volume reductions in the heavy-duty truck industry, partially offset by $29.5 million of additional sales from the October 2006 acquisition of NABS, the addition of new customers and increases in product range to existing customers. New customers in the Supply Technologies segment came from organic sales, while new sales in the Aluminum Products segment primarily reflect sales to new customers. Aluminum Products sales increased 9% as the sales volumes from new contracts starting production ramp-up exceeded the end of production of other parts and the general decline in auto industry sales volumes. Manufactured Products sales increased 22%, primarily in the induction equipment, pipe threading equipment and forging businesses, due largely to worldwide strength in the steel, oil and gas, aerospace and rail industries. At the end of fourth quarter 2007, the Company adjusted downward the amount initially recorded for revenue by approximately $18.0 million to reflect the exclusion of certain costs from suppliers and subcontractors from the percentage of completion calculation that is used to account for long-term industrial equipment contracts. See Selected Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited) on page 63 for additional information.

      Gross margin                            14.8 %      14.0 %

Cost of products sold was relatively flat in 2007 compared to 2006, while gross margin increased to 14.8% from 14.0% in 2006. Supply Technologies gross margin increased slightly, as the margin benefit from sales from the NABS acquisition and new customers outweighed the effect of reduced heavy-truck sales volume and higher restructuring charges in 2007. Supply Technologies 2006 and 2007 cost of products sold included $.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively of inventory related restructuring charges associated with the closure of a manufacturing plant. Aluminum Products gross margin decreased primarily due to the costs associated with starting up new contracts and the slow ramp-up of new contract volume. Gross margin in the Manufactured Products segment increased primarily due to increased sales volume.

          SG&A percent                    9.2 %      8.5 %

Consolidated SG&A expenses increased $8.4 million in 2007 compared to 2006, representing a .7% increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales. SG&A increased approximately $5.3 million due to the acquisition of NABS. SG&A increased further primarily due to increased expenses related to stock options and restricted stock, the new office building, legal and professional fees and franchise taxes, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in net pension credits, reflecting higher return on pension plan assets.

Interest expense increased $.3 million in 2007 compared to 2006, due to higher average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by lower average interest rates during 2007. The increase in average borrowings in 2007 resulted primarily from higher working capital and the purchase of NABS in October 2006. The lower average borrowing rate in 2007 was due primarily to decreased interest rates under our revolving credit facility compared to 2006, which increased as a result of actions by the Federal Reserve.
