ParkOhio Announces Record 2018 Sales and EPS and Provides 2019 EPS Guidance

ParkOhio (NASDAQ: PKOH) today announced results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018.

FOURTH QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

In the fourth quarter of 2018, net sales were $405.9 million, an increase of 11% from net sales of $366.0 million in 2017, driven by organic growth of 3% and acquisition-related growth of 8%. Net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $14.8 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2017 of $5.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis, net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders was $1.20 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 40% compared to $0.86 per diluted share in the 2017 period. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of net income to adjusted earnings.

Matthew V. Crawford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “While we are proud of our record-setting results in 2018, we are even more excited to begin to see the strategic investments we have made in people, technology and manufacturing capacity over the past two years begin to contribute to our success. We expect 2019 to be a year of moderate sales growth as we emphasize improving our operating margins and increasing our cash flows.”

In the fourth quarter of 2018, GAAP EPS and Adjusted EPS were favorably impacted by an effective income tax rate of 12.6%. This rate includes adjustments made in the fourth quarter to reflect the 2018 impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), including regulations issued during the fourth quarter of 2018. For the full year 2018, the effective tax rate was 23.2%. While the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service are still finalizing regulations related to various aspects of the TCJA, the Company is forecasting a 2019 effective income tax rate of 26-28%.

Operating cash flows were $33.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. During the quarter, the Company repaid debt of $16.3 million, and as of December 31, 2018, had cash on-hand of $55.7 million. EBITDA, as defined was $36.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 7% compared to $33.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, as defined.

FULL YEAR 2018 RESULTS

For the full year 2018, net sales were $1.7 billion, an increase of 17% from net sales of $1.4 billion in 2017, driven by organic growth of 8% and acquisition-related growth of 9%. Net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in 2018 was $53.6 million, or $4.28 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in 2017 of $28.6 million, or $2.30 per diluted share.

2019 EARNINGS GUIDANCE
