ParkOhio Announces Strong First Quarter 2024 Results

  • Net sales of $418 million compared to $424 million in Q1 2023
  • GAAP EPS from continuing operations improved 36% to $0.83 per diluted share, up from $0.61 in Q1 2023; Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.85 per diluted share, up 18% vs. $0.72 in Q1 2023
  • Gross margin of 17.1% improved 120 basis points year-over-year
  • EBITDA, as defined was $38 million, an increase of 19% compared to Q1 2023
  • Full year 2024 outlook unchanged

Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH) today announced its results for the first quarter of 2024.

“We are pleased with our first quarter results, particularly as it relates to our improved quality of earnings. Our results are in line with our prior expectations, and we continue to see solid backlogs in most businesses, especially in our equipment and forging end markets. We will continue our focus on operating excellence and improved cash flow metrics throughout the remainder of the year. Additionally, we continue to benefit broadly from macro-economic trends, which include increased investments in critical end markets including aerospace, defense, EV, industrial electrification and infrastructure," said Matthew V. Crawford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

FIRST QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

In the first quarter of 2024, net sales from continuing operations were $417.6 million compared to $423.5 million in the 2023 period. Gross margin was 17.1%, an increase of 120 basis points compared to 15.9% in the 2023 first quarter. Income from continuing operations attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in the first quarter of 2024 was $10.6 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to $7.5 million, or $0.61 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2023. Excluding special items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $0.85 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $0.72 per diluted share in the 2023 period. The year-over-year profit improvement was driven by record operating profit in our Supply Technologies segment and benefits from ongoing profit-improvement actions, including product pricing. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to adjusted income from continuing operations.

FIRST QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

In our Supply Technologies segment, net sales in the first quarter of 2024 were $196.9 million compared to $195.8 million in the first quarter a year ago, due to continued strong customer demand in most of our key end markets, driven by a 28% increase in the aerospace and defense market and year-over-year growth in our industrial supply business, partially offset by decreases in the heavy-duty truck, lawn and garden and agricultural equipment markets. Sales in our fastener manufacturing business were up 15% year-over-year, driven by higher customer demand for our proprietary products throughout North America and Europe. Segment operating income improved $5.5 million to $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $14.0 million in the first quarter 2023. Operating income margin was a record 9.9% in the 2024 quarter, up 270 basis points from 7.2% in the 2023 first quarter, due primarily to an increase in higher-margin sales and lower supply chain costs, and strong demand in our fastener manufacturing business.

In Assembly Components, net sales were $107.2 million compared to $110.4 million in the 2023 first quarter. Sales were slightly lower year-over-year due to lower unit volumes, primarily in our fuel rail and extruded rubber products businesses. Segment operating income was $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $7.3 million in the corresponding 2023 quarter. Operating income margin was 8.0% in the 2024 period, up 140 basis points from 6.6% in the 2023 first quarter. The 18% improvement in segment operating income in the 2024 period compared to the same period a year ago was driven by the benefit of ongoing profit improvement initiatives, improved product pricing and the benefit from completed plant closure and consolidation actions.

In Engineered Products, net sales were $113.5 million in the 2024 first quarter compared to $117.3 million in last year's first quarter, driven by lower new equipment sales in our capital equipment business. Sales in our aftermarket parts and service business continued to be robust and grew 16% year-over-year. New equipment backlog totaled $151 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $162 million at December 31, 2023. In our forged and machined products business, first quarter 2024 sales were up 4% compared to the same quarter a year ago, driven by strong forging equipment sales. Segment operating income in the 2024 first quarter was $3.5 million compared to $5.0 million in the 2023 first quarter. On an adjusted basis, which excludes plant closure and consolidation and acquisition-related expenses, segment operating income was $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $7.0 million in the 2023 period, resulting from lower sales and margins in our capital equipment business and higher operating costs in our forged and machined products business. As previously announced, on February 29, 2024, we completed the acquisition of EMA Indutec GmbH (“EMA”) to expand our leading global induction business throughout Europe, our portfolio of induction equipment brands and our aftermarket service capabilities.

Please refer to the tables that follow for a reconciliation of segment operating income to adjusted segment operating income.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW

EBITDA, as defined totaled $37.8 million in the 2024 first quarter, up 19% year-over-year. During the first quarter of 2024, operating cash flow from continuing operations was $2.3 million, an improvement from $0.2 million in the 2023 period, and free cash flow improved by $2.3 million in the 2024 period compared to the first quarter of 2023.

At March 31, 2024, our total liquidity was $167.5 million, which included cash on hand of $61.6 million and $105.9 million of unused borrowing availability under our credit arrangements.

CREDIT AGENCY UPGRADE

The Company previously announced on April 10, 2024 that S&P Global (“S&P”) has upgraded the ratings of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc., including the issuer credit rating to B from B-, and the issue-level rating on the Company’s $350 million senior unsecured notes to B-. S&P noted that the upgrades and stable outlook reflect improved operating performance in 2023, and its view that ParkOhio will continue to improve profitability, generate positive free operating cash flow and continue deleveraging over the next 12 months.

2024 OUTLOOK - CONTINUING OPERATIONS

For 2024, we continue to expect revenue growth in the mid-single digit range year-over-year, driven by continued strong demand in most end markets in Supply Technologies and Assembly Components, and the strength of our backlog in Engineered Products. In addition, we continue to expect year-over-year improvement in EPS and EBITDA, as defined.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company is providing in this press release. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations is income from continuing operations calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), adjusted for special items. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because management uses adjusted earnings from continuing operations to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis over multiple periods because they remove the impact of certain significant noncash credits or charges and certain infrequent items impacting net income. Adjusted earnings is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, income from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted income from continuing operations herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

Adjusted segment operating income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company is providing in this press release. Adjusted segment operating income (loss) is calculated as segment operating income (loss) plus adjustments for plant closure and consolidation, severance and other. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because the business segments have incurred significant restructuring and related expenses during the year-to-date periods. Adjusted segment operating income (loss) is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, earnings in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted segment operating income (loss) herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
