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. 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 floors, 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 front engine covers, cooling modules, pump housings, clutch retainers/pistons, control arms, knuckles, master cylinders, pinion housings, 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 ferrous and non-ferrous metals, silicon, coatings, forging, foundry, heavy-duty truck, construction equipment, 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.

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.

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 were to the automotive markets in 2008. The recent deterioration in the global economy and global credit markets continues to negatively impact the automotive markets. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler have encountered severe financial difficulty, which ultimately resulted in the bankruptcy of Chrysler and General Motors and could result in bankruptcy for more automobile manufacturers and their suppliers such as the recent bankruptcy of Metaldyne, which, in turn, would adversely affect the financial condition of the Company's automobile OEM customers. For the remainder of 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

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The statement makes the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards, but it does not change U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted the statement as of September 30, 2009. Accordingly, the financial statements for the interim period ending September 30, 2009, and the financial statements for future interim and annual periods will reflect the ASC references. The statement has no impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance that 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 new guidance was adopted prospectively by the Company, effective January 1, 2009.

In December 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on an employer's disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The guidance addresses disclosures related to the categories of plan assets and fair value measurements of plan assets. The new guidance was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2009 and had no effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance that if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance for its quarter ended June 30, 2009. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements. In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance which requires that publicly traded companies include the fair value disclosures in their interim financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance at June 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, the approximate fair value of Park-Ohio-Industries, Inc. 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014 was $151.0 million based on Level 1 inputs. The Company had other investments having Level 2 inputs totaling $6.4 million.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance which addresses the types and timing of events that should be reported in the financial statements for events occurring between the balance sheet date and the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. This guidance was effective for the Company on June 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. Refer to Note A to the consolidated financial statements for information on subsequent events.

challenging global economic downturn. Supply Technologies sales decreased 39% primarily due to volume reductions in the heavy duty truck industry, of which $60.4 million resulted from the Company's decision to exit its relationship with its largest customer in the fourth quarter of 2008. The remaining sales reductions were due to the overall reduction in demand from customers in most end-markets. Aluminum Products sales decreased 37% as the general decline in auto industry sales volumes exceeded additional sales from new contracts starting production ramp-up. Manufactured Products sales decreased 35% from the declining business environment in each of its business reporting units.

     Gross Margin                            14.8 %      14.9 %

Cost of products sold decreased $260.0 million in the first nine months of 2009 to $437.4 million compared to $697.4 million in the same period in 2008 primarily due to the reduction in sales volume, while gross margin remained constant in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

Supply Technologies gross margin remained unchanged from the prior year, as increased product profitability improvements were offset by volume declines. Aluminum Products gross margin increased primarily due to cost cutting measures, a plant closure and improved efficiencies at another plant location. Gross margin in the Manufactured Products segment decreased primarily due to lower volume in the forged and machine products business unit.

            SG&A percent of sales          13.0 %     10.1 %

Consolidated SG&A expenses decreased 20% in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, representing a 290 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales. SG&A expenses decreased in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to employee workforce reductions, salary cuts, suspension of the Company's voluntary contribution to its 401(k) defined contribution plan, less business travel and a reduction in volume of business offset by a reduction in pension income. SG&A expenses benefited in the first nine months of 2009 from a reduction of $2.8 million resulting from a second quarter change in our vacation benefit, which is now earned throughout the calendar year rather than earned in full at the beginning of the year, but was offset by a $4.2 million charge for a reserve for an account receivable from a customer in bankruptcy.

Gain on Purchase of 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes:

During the first nine months of 2009, the Company recorded a gain of $5.1 million on the purchase of $10.215 million principal amount of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

      Average borrowing rate              6.46 %      7.15 %       (69 )   basis points

Interest expense decreased $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings and a lower average borrowing rate during the first nine months of 2009. The decrease in average borrowings in the first nine months of 2009 resulted primarily from the reduction in working capital requirements. The lower average borrowing rate in the first nine months of 2009 was due primarily to decreased interest rates under our revolving credit facility compared to the same period in 2008.

Income Tax:

The provision for income taxes was $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2009, a (51)% effective income tax rate, compared to income taxes of $.8 million provided in the corresponding period of 2008, an 86% effective income tax rate. We estimate that the effective tax rate for full-year 2009 will be approximately
(159)% and is significantly different from the 35% United States federal statutory rate primarily due to anticipated losses in the United States for which the Company will record no tax benefit and anticipated income earned in jurisdictions outside the United States.

Gross margins remained unchanged in the Supply Technologies segment resulting from cost cutting initiatives and business restructuring activities undertaken in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009 offset by the effect of lower product sales volume. Aluminum Products gross margin improved primarily due to cost cutting measures and improved efficiencies. Manufactured Products segment gross margins decreased due to lower margins in the forged and machine and capital equipment business units offset by improvement in the rubber products business unit.

Interest expense decreased $.9 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings and a lower average borrowing rate during the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in average borrowings in the third quarter of 2009 resulted primarily from a reduction in working capital requirements. The lower average borrowing rate in the third quarter of 2009 was due primarily to decreased interest rates under our revolving credit facility compared to the same period in 2008.

Income Tax:

The provision for income taxes was $.3 million in the third quarter of 2009, a
(10)% effective income tax rate, compared to income tax benefit of $4.6 million provided in the corresponding quarter of 2008, a 34% effective income tax rate. We estimate that the effective tax rate for full-year 2009 will be approximately
(159)% and is higher than the 35% United States federal statutory rate primarily due to anticipated losses in the United States for which the Company will record no tax benefit and anticipated income earned in jurisdictions outside the United States.

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 of our assets in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Borrowings from this revolving credit facility is 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, 2009, the Company had $147.8 million borrowed under the revolving credit facility, $9.4 million outstanding primarily for standby letters of credit, and approximately $33.7 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 for at least the next twelve months. 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.

At September 30, 2009, the Company's debt service coverage ratio was 1.5, and, therefore, it was in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant contained in the revolving credit facility. The Company was also in compliance with the other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2009. The debt service coverage ratio is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter and is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters of consolidated EBITDA minus cash taxes paid, minus unfunded capital expenditures, plus cash tax refunds to consolidated debt charges which are consolidated cash interest expense plus scheduled principal payments on indebtedness plus scheduled reductions in our fixed asset borrowing base as defined in the revolving credit facility. The debt service coverage ratio must be greater than 1.0 and not less than 1.1 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters.

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.
