Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH) today announced its results for the second quarter of 2025.

“We entered the second half of 2025 with momentum across ParkOhio. We have delivered two straight quarters of margin expansion and earnings growth, even amid modest revenue headwinds—proof that our operational discipline is working. We are also starting to see leading indicators of increased activity and backlog, especially in our engineered products segment. ParkOhio is in the late innings of a portfolio transformation that we plan to exit as a higher quality, more profitable, de-leveraged business.

“The recently announced refinancing of our Senior Notes and our Revolving Credit Facility are critical steps, as these actions provide us with extended maturities and liquidity to execute our long-term goals.

“Again, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on several trends, including increased domestic investment and onshoring, and remain focused on our objectives of sales growth, higher operating margins, and reduced net debt leverage," said Matthew V. Crawford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

SEGMENT PERFORMANCE DEMAND DRIVERS

In our Supply Technologies segment, our outsourced supply chain and component distribution platform generated $187 million in sales during the quarter, down 8% YOY caused by demand softness in certain North American industrial markets. Demand in this segment continues to be driven by reshoring trends, steady growth in Europe, and long-standing vendor managed inventory programs embedded with OEM customers. As customers prioritize regional suppliers for cost and reliability, ParkOhio remains well positioned to capture share.

Assembly Components, which produces engineered assemblies for transportation and industrial markets, reported Q2 sales of $95 million, down from $103 million in the prior year. The decline reflects lower volumes in fuel rail and rubber products, delays in new OEM platform launches, and the expiration of favorable pricing on legacy programs. Demand in this segment is closely linked to OEM launch schedules, overall vehicle production, and customer consolidation of the supply base. We continue to win new business across all product lines, with over $50 million of incremental business launching in the second half of 2025 and throughout 2026. Our strong reputation for quality, scale, and continuity continues to make ParkOhio a trusted partner.

Engineered Products, our capital equipment and forged components segment serving diversified end markets including infrastructure and defense, delivered $118 million in revenue for the quarter, compared to $127 million a year ago. The 2024 closure of a small manufacturing facility and lower railcar demand impacted forged products, while industrial equipment sales remained steady. Segment demand is being driven by sustained investment in defense, infrastructure, and electrical steel capacity expansion. The quarter’s record $85 million in new capital equipment bookings — including a record $47 million induction heating order utilizing our patent pending technology that enables the most uniform heating profile available in today’s markets — pushed backlog to $172 million, providing multi-quarter visibility.

DEBT REFINANCING COMPLETED

On July 31, 2025, Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (“Industries”), a subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp., completed its offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2030 (the "Notes") in a private offering. The Notes were priced at 99.50% of par and bear an interest rate of 8.50% per annum. The Notes are senior obligations of Industries and guaranteed, with certain exceptions, by Industries’ existing and future domestic subsidiaries on a senior secured basis. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, along with cash on hand, to redeem all $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes") and pay related fees and expenses.

On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to its $405.0 million revolving credit facility in order to, among other things, extend the maturity date to the fifth anniversary from the closing date of the amendment.

2025 OUTLOOK

The recent refinancing of our 2027 Senior Notes will increase interest expense in the second half of the year and is expected to reduce Adjusted EPS by approximately $0.20 per diluted share.

We now expect full-year 2025:

• Net Sales: $1.620 billion to $1.650 billion
• Adjusted EPS: $2.90 to $3.20 per diluted share
• Free Cash Flow: Expected to improve from FY2024 and approximate $20 million to $30 million in FY2025; expect approximately $65 million of free cash flow in the second half of 2025

The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EPS, to the most comparable GAAP financial measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain items, including non-cash or infrequent charges, which are not available without unreasonable effort.
