Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2015

NOTE 1 — Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “our” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (“Holdings”). Certain amounts in the prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

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-month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The balance sheet at December 31, 2014 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, 2014.

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 and 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 April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and requires new disclosures for discontinued operations and for individually material disposal transactions that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning with the first quarter of 2015. The adoption had no effect on our consolidated financial statement as it only applies to future disposals.

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 issuance of a comprehensive and converged standard on revenue recognition is expected to enable financial statement users to better understand and consistently analyze an entity’s revenue across industries, transactions, and geographies. The ASU will require additional disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the nature, amount, timing, and potential uncertainty of the revenue that is recognized. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, however, in April 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of this standard with a new effective date of December 15, 2017. The ASU will require either retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented or retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2015


In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest-Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." The amendment requires an entity to present debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

NOTE 3 — Segments

The Company operates through three reportable segments: Supply Technologies, Assembly Components and Engineered Products. Supply Technologies provides our customers with Total Supply Management™ services for a broad range of high-volume, specialty production components. Total Supply Management™ manages the efficiencies of every aspect of supplying production parts and materials to our customers’ manufacturing floor, from strategic planning to program implementation, and 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. Assembly Components manufactures cast aluminum components, automotive and industrial rubber and thermoplastic products, gasoline direct injection systems, fuel filler and hydraulic assemblies for automotive, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, heavy-duty truck and marine equipment industries. Assembly Components also provides value-added services such as design and engineering, machining and assembly. Engineered Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of high quality products engineered for specific customer applications.

The Company primarily evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income as well as projected future performance. Segment operating income is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the product lines included within each segment. Segment operating income reconciles to consolidated income before income taxes by deducting corporate costs that are not attributable to the segments and net interest expense.

The acquisitions of Apollo and Autoform were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price allocations were preliminary as of March 31, 2015. The Apollo purchase agreement provides for payment of contingent consideration of approximately $2.4 million based on achievement of certain EBITDA targets over two years. The fair value of the earn-out was approximately $1.1 million at the date of the acquisition for a total purchase consideration of $6.5 million and at March 31, 2015, the fair value of the earn-out was approximately $1.6 million. On the acquisition date, a liability was recognized for the estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the earn-out. Any change in the fair value of the earn-out subsequent to the acquisition date will be recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. Management’s valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates and assumptions. The purchase price allocation relating to these acquisitions is subject to further adjustment until all pertinent information regarding finalization of the intangible assets and deferred income tax assets and liabilities for Apollo and Autoform are fully evaluated by the Company and independent valuations are complete. Revisions to these estimates as fair values are finalized will be reflected in the financial statements throughout the measurement period. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation for these acquisitions, goodwill of $5.6 million was recorded.

The acquisition of Saet was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The entire purchase price allocation for Saet is preliminary. At March 31, 2015, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been preliminarily estimated based on their carrying values and the excess consideration of $23.2 million has been preliminarily recorded as goodwill, pending finalization of the fair value. These preliminary estimates will be revised during the measurement period in 2015 as all pertinent information regarding finalization of the third-party valuations for inventories, intangible assets, goodwill, tangible assets, other liabilities and deferred income tax assets and liabilities acquired are fully evaluated by the Company.

During the first quarter of 2015, we adjusted the preliminary goodwill recorded for Autoform primarily to reflect the adjustments to the determination of fair value of acquired intangible assets. The 2014 condensed consolidated financial statements have not been retroactively adjusted as these measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on such statements.

The increase in goodwill from January 1, 2014 is due to the acquisitions of Apollo, Autoform and Saet. The goodwill associated with the Apollo and Saet transactions is not deductible for income tax purposes.

On July 31, 2014, the Company entered into a sixth amendment and restatement of the credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, increased the revolving credit facility to $230.0 million, provided a term loan for $16.1 million and extended the maturity date of the borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement to July 31, 2019. The revolving credit facility includes a Canadian sub-limit of $15.0 million and a European sub-limit of $10.0 million (which may be increased to $25.0 million) for borrowings in those locations.

The Amended Credit Agreement was further amended in accordance with Amendments No. 1, 2 and 3 to the Amended Credit Agreement, dated October 24, 2014, January 20, 2015 and March 12, 2015, respectively (the “Amendments”). The Amendments:

increase the revolving credit facility from $230.0 million to $275.0 million;
increase the inventory advance rate from 50% to 60%, reducing back to 50% on a pro-rata quarterly basis over 36 months commencing April 1, 2015;
reload the term loan up to $35.0 million from $15.5 million, of which $31.2 million has been borrowed and is outstanding as of March 31, 2015;
increase the Canadian sub-limit up to $25.0 million from $15.0 million;
increase the European sub-limit up to $25.0 million from $10.0 million; and
provide minor pricing adjustments including pricing the first $22.0 million drawn on the revolver at LIBOR + 3.50%, reducing automatically on a pro-rata quarterly basis over 36 months commencing April 1, 2015.

At the Company’s election, domestic amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at either:

LIBOR plus 1.5% to 2.5%; or
the bank’s prime lending rate minus 0.25% to 1.25%.

At the Company's election, amounts borrowed under the term loan may be borrowed at either:

LIBOR plus 2.0% to 3.0%; or
the bank’s prime lending rate minus 0.75% to plus 0.25%.

The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Amounts borrowed under the Canadian revolving credit facility provided by the Amended Credit Agreement may be borrowed at either:

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2015


the Canadian deposit offered rate plus 1.5% to 2.5%;
the Canadian prime lending rate plus 0.0% to 1.0%; or
the US base rate plus 0.0% to 1.0%.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The term loan is amortized based on a seven-year schedule with the balance due at maturity. The Amended Credit Agreement also reduced the commitment fee for the revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company has the option, pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, to increase the availability under the revolving credit facility by $50.0 million.

The following table represents fair value information of the Company's Senior Notes, classified as Level 1, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices.

NOTE 11 — 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, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective income tax rate, and if the estimated income tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made.

The effective tax rate for the first three months of 2015 and 2014 was 36.4% and 34.8%, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

NOTE 13 — Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation Judgment


The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company cannot precisely predict the amount of any liability that may ultimately arise with respect to any of these matters, the Company records provisions when it considers the liability probable and reasonably estimable. Our provisions are based on historical experience and legal advice, reviewed quarterly and adjusted according to developments. Estimating probable losses requires the analysis of multiple forecasted factors that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties, such as regulators, courts, and state and federal legislatures. Changes in the amounts of our loss provisions, which can be material, affect our financial condition. Due to the inherent uncertainties in the process undertaken to estimate potential losses, we are unable to estimate an additional range of loss in excess of our accruals. While it is reasonably possible that such excess liabilities, if they were to occur, could be material to operating results in any given quarter or year of their recognition, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible that such excess liabilities would have a material adverse effect on our long-term results of operations, liquidity or consolidated financial position.

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.

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. ATM denied the allegations. ATM subsequently obtained summary judgment on the constructive fraud claim, which was dismissed by the district court prior to trial. The remaining claims were the subject of a bench trial that occurred in May 2013. After IPSCO presented its case, the district court entered partial judgment in favor of ATM, dismissing the gross negligence claim, a portion of the breach of contract claim, and any claim for punitive damages. The trial proceeded with respect to the remainder of IPSCO's claim for breach of contract. 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. IPSCO subsequently filed a motion seeking to recover $3.8 million in attorneys' fees and costs. The district court reserved ruling on that issue pending an appeal. In October 2013, ATM filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit seeking reversal of the judgment in favor of IPSCO. In November

2013, IPSCO filed a cross-appeal seeking reversal of the dismissal of its claim for gross negligence and punitive damages. The Eighth Circuit issued an opinion in March 2015 affirming in part, reversing in part, and remanding the case. It affirmed the district court's determination that ATM was liable for breach of contract. It also affirmed the district court's dismissal of IPSCO's claim for gross negligence and punitive damages. However, the Eighth Circuit reversed nearly all of the damages awarded by the district court and remanded for further findings on the issue of damages, including whether consequential damages are barred under the express language of the contract. Because IPSCO did not appeal the award of $5.2 million in its favor, those damages may be decreased, but cannot be increased, on remand. IPSCO's motion to recover attorney's fees and costs is stayed pending the outcome of the proceedings on remand.

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 has 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.

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

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our,” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp (“Holdings”).

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are an industrial Total Supply Management™ and diversified manufacturing business, operating in three segments: Supply Technologies, Assembly Components and Engineered Products.

Our Supply Technologies business provides our customers with Total Supply Management™, 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 Management™ 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. Our Supply Technologies business services customers in the following principal industries: heavy-duty truck; automotive, truck and vehicle parts; power sports and recreational equipment; bus and coaches; electrical distribution and controls; agricultural and construction equipment; consumer electronics; HVAC; lawn and garden; semiconductor equipment; aerospace and defense; and plumbing.

Assembly Components manufactures parts and assemblies and provides value-added design, engineering and assembly services that are incorporated into our customer’s end products. Our product offerings include cast and machined 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, industrial hose and injected molded rubber components, gasoline direct injection systems and fuel filler assemblies. Our products are primarily used in the following industries: automotive; agricultural; construction; heavy-duty truck; and marine original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), on a sole-source basis.

Engineered 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, and forged and machined products. Engineered Products also produces and provides services and spare parts for the equipment it manufactures. The principal customers of Engineered 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, locomotive and rail manufacturing, and aerospace and defense industries.

Sales, segment operating income and other relevant financial data for these three segments are provided in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere herein.

Primary Factors Affecting 2015 Results

The following factors most affected our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2015:

Our 2014 strategic bolt-on acquisitions of Apollo, Autoform and Saet added a combined $27.1 million of incremental revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. These acquisitions have been successfully integrated into our segments and the earnings results of these combined acquisitions have been accretive to us for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

In addition to our net sales growth associated with acquisitions, during the first quarter of 2015, our organic net sales growth was $29.8 million, or 9.4%. Our organic net sales growth for the first quarter of 2015 is primarily due to strong performance in the Supply Technologies segment and our Aluminum business unit of the Assembly Components segment.

24



Overall, we had excellent net sales growth of 17.9% for the first quarter of 2015 when compared to the same period in the prior year. However, we experienced a 200 basis point reduction in gross margin in the first quarter of 2015, compared to the first quarter of 2014. The gross margin decline is attributable to unfavorable sales mix that we experienced in our Engineered Products segment. Even though net sales in the Engineered Products segment increased 10% to approximately $83.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014, our higher margin aftermarket product sales declined 18%, and on a sequential basis, aftermarket sales declined 11%. Within the aftermarket product line, oil and gas aftermarket product sales declined 60% compared to the prior year and 49% sequentially. The oil and gas industry has been adversely affected by the uncertainty in the related markets and declining prices of oil since the fourth quarter of 2014.

Net Sales:

Net sales increased $56.9 million, or 17.9%, to $374.7 million in the first three months of 2015, compared to $317.8 million in the same period in 2014, mainly due to the incremental sales from acquisitions of $27.1 million and organic volume increases from each of our segments. Organic net sales growth was $29.8 million, or 9.4%, compared to the same period in 2014.

The factors explaining the changes in segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the prior year comparable period are contained within the “Segment Analysis” section.

Cost of Sales & Gross Profit:

Cost of sales increased $54.5 million to $316.3 million in the first three months of 2015, compared to $261.8 million in the same period in 2014. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to incremental cost of sales from acquisitions of $23.3 million and the increase in organic net sales volumes.


25


The gross profit margin percentage was 15.6% in the first three months of 2015 compared to 17.6% in the same period in 2014. The decrease in gross margin percentage of 200 basis points is largely due to unfavorable sales mix that we experienced in our Engineered Products segment. Even though net sales in the Engineered Products segment increased 10% to approximately $83.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014, our higher margin aftermarket product sales declined 18%, and on a sequential basis, aftermarket sales declined 11%. Within the aftermarket product line, oil and gas aftermarket product sales declined 60% compared to the prior year and 49% sequentially. The oil and gas industry has been adversely affected by the uncertainty in the related markets and declining prices of oil since the fourth quarter of 2014.

SG&A Expenses:

Consolidated SG&A expenses increased $0.4 million to $34.0 million in the first three months of 2015, compared to $33.6 million in the same period in 2014, Even though we incurred $2.7 million of incremental SG&A costs in the first quarter of 2015 associated with recent acquisitions, SG&A expenses as a percent of sales decreased 150 basis points to 9.1% in the first three months of 2015 compared to 10.6% in the first three months of 2014 due to a $1.6 million reduction in professional fees, good cost controls and the impact of realized foreign currency translation gains.

Interest expense increased $0.5 million in the first three months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Average borrowings in the first three months of 2015 were higher when compared to the same period in 2014 due to additional borrowings to fund acquisitions. The average borrowing rate in the first three months of 2015 has decreased 49 basis points in the first three months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, reflecting lower interest rates on the revolving credit facility in 2015 compared to 2014.

Income Tax Expense:

The provision for income taxes was $6.4 million, at a 36.4% effective income tax rate, in the first three months of 2015. This was comparable to income taxes of $5.6 million, at a 34.8% effective income tax rate, in the corresponding period of 2014.

Net Income:

Net income increased $0.7 million to $11.2 million for the first three months of 2015, compared to $10.5 million for the first three months of 2014, due to the reasons described above.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest:

As a result of the sale of the 25% equity interest in a small forging business in the third quarter of 2013, income of $0.3 million for the first three months of 2015 and $0.2 million for the first three months of 2014 was attributable to the noncontrolling interest and was deducted from net income to derive net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholder.

Net Income Attributable to ParkOhio Common Shareholder:

Net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholder increased $0.6 million to $10.9 million in the first three months of 2015, compared to $10.3 million in the same period of 2014, due to the reasons described above.

SEGMENT ANALYSIS

We primarily evaluate performance and allocate resources based on segment operating income as well as projected future performance. Segment operating income is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the business units and product lines included within each segment. Segment operating income will reconcile to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes by deducting corporate costs that are not attributable to the segments and net interest expense.

The proportion of consolidated revenues and segment operating income attributed to each segment was as follows:

Net Sales: The majority of our growth in the first three months of 2015 was organic growth in our diversified markets. This growth was driven by the heavy-duty truck market, which was up 24%; the power sports and recreational equipment market, which increased 24%; the semiconductor market, which was up 58%; and the consumer electronics market, which was up 13%. In addition, our automotive business of the fastener manufacturing division generated sales increases of 23% in the first three months of 2015.

Segment Operating Income: With increases in net sales, segment operating income increased $4.1 million, or 41%, to $14.2 million. Segment operating income margin was 9.4%, which was a 190 basis points increase compared to the prior year's first three months segment operating income margin of 7.5%. These improvements were driven largely by improved operating leverage, the full integration of the late 2013 and 2014 European acquisitions and the continued focus on more highly engineered products in the portfolio.

Net Sales: The significant increase in net sales is primarily due to incremental sales from new programs with our automotive customers in our aluminum business. The aluminum business revenues increased 35%. Also contributing to the overall increase in net sales was the incremental revenues in 2015 associated with the acquisition of Autoform of approximately $14.9 million.

Segment Operating Income: On the contribution from the Autoform acquisition in its first year of ownership and the improved performance of our 2013 Bates acquisition. segment operating income increased 31% in the first three months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Our segment operating income margin was 7.5%, in the first three months of 2015 and 2014. While the Aluminum business did generate modest dollar profitability improvements sequentially and year over year, margins and total return still significantly lag our expectations.

Net Sales: Our industrial equipment business net sales increased in the first three months of 2015 by 16%. This business unit can experience volatility in the timing of completed jobs and the associated revenue recognition related to percentage of completion accounting based on the jobs' complexity and size. However, our aftermarket business decreased 18% in the first three months of 2015 compared to the first three months of 2014. Our forging business sales declined 7% year over year as sales were unfavorably impacted by reduced demand for some of its rail and aircraft forging products during the first quarter of 2015.

Segment Operating Income: Although sales increased in 2015, segment operating income decreased 42% in the first three months of 2015. In addition, segment operating income margin declined 660 basis points to 7.5% in the first three months of 2015 compared to 14.1% in the first three months of 2014. The operating margin decline was primarily due to unfavorable sales mix that we experienced in our Engineered Products segment. Even though net sales in the Engineered Products segment increased 10% to approximately $83.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014, our higher margin aftermarket product sales declined 18%, and on a sequential basis, aftermarket sales declined 11%. Within the aftermarket product line, oil and gas aftermarket product sales declined 60% compared to the prior year and 49% sequentially. The oil and gas industry has been adversely affected by the uncertainty in the related markets and declining prices of oil since the fourth quarter of 2014.

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

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, 2014 contained in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements discussed in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements 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.

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 involve 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 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 the uncertainties related to any global financial 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; 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 being 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, which could be lower due to the effects of the recent financial crises; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends; our ability to negotiate contracts with labor unions; our dependence on key management; our dependence on information systems; and the other factors we describe under the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. 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. We are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under the floating rate revolving credit facility and term loan provided by our Credit Agreement, which consisted of borrowings of $194.9 million at March 31, 2015. A 100-basis-point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.5 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015.

Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first three months of 2015, we recorded an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $5.3 million related to net assets located outside the United States. This foreign currency translation adjustment resulted primarily from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. 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.

The Company periodically enters into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the Euro and the British pound sterling, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the U.S. dollar. We currently use no other derivative instruments. At March 31, 2015, there were no such currency hedge contracts outstanding.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 first quarter of 2015 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 March 31, 2015:

We were a co-defendant in approximately 255 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 614 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 only seven asbestos cases, involving 26 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages. In each of the seven 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 compensatory damages in the amount of $3.0 million for four separate causes of action and $1.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $10.0 million. In the fourth case, the plaintiff has alleged against each named defendant, compensatory and punitive damages, each in the amount of $10.0 million, for seven separate causes of action. In the fifth case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $20.0 million for three separate causes of action and $5.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $20.0 million. In the sixth case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $10.0 million for five separate causes of action and $5.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $10.0 million for each cause of action. In the remaining case, the plaintiffs have alleged against each named defendant compensatory and punitive damages, each in the amount of $50.0 million, for four separate causes 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.


31


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 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. ATM denied the allegations. ATM subsequently obtained summary judgment on the constructive fraud claim, which was dismissed by the district court prior to trial. The remaining claims were the subject of a bench trial that occurred in May 2013. After IPSCO presented its case, the district court entered partial judgment in favor of ATM, dismissing the gross negligence claim, a portion of the breach of contract claim, and any claim for punitive damages. The trial proceeded with respect to the remainder of IPSCO's claim for breach of contract. 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. IPSCO subsequently filed a motion seeking to recover $3.8 million in attorneys' fees and costs. The district court reserved ruling on that issue pending an appeal. In October 2013, ATM filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit seeking reversal of the judgment in favor of IPSCO. In November 2013, IPSCO filed a cross-appeal seeking reversal of the dismissal of its claim for gross negligence and punitive damages. The Eighth Circuit issued an opinion in March 2015 affirming in part, reversing in part, and remanding the case. It affirmed the district court's determination that ATM was liable for breach of contract. It also affirmed the district court's dismissal of IPSCO's claim for gross negligence and punitive damages. However, the Eighth Circuit reversed nearly all of the damages awarded by the district court and remanded for further findings on the issue of damages, including whether consequential damages are barred under the express language of the contract. Because IPSCO did not appeal the award of $5.2 million in its favor, those damages may be decreased, but cannot be increased, on remand. IPSCO's motion to recover attorney's fees and costs is stayed pending the outcome of the proceedings on remand.

In August 2013, the Company received a subpoena from the staff of the SEC in connection with the staff’s investigation of a third party. At that time, the Company 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, 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 has 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.
