NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(in thousands, except claim amounts)

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared by Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Corporation”) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.

Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. However, the guidance in ASU 2015-03 does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. In August 2015, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which permits an entity to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The amended guidance became effective January 1, 2016. See Note 7.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period, including changes in depreciation and amortization or other income effects, in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amended guidance became effective January 1, 2016. See Note 2.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company’s contracts with customers. It requires companies to apply a five-step model when recognizing revenue relating to the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to be entitled to receive for those goods and services. It also requires comprehensive disclosures regarding revenue recognition. The guidance becomes effective January 1, 2018. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial position, operating results and liquidity.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which revises the measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or market. Currently, market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. In accordance with ASU 2015-11, an entity will measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendment does not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first out (LIFO). The guidance becomes effective January 1, 2017 with earlier application permitted. The Corporation does not expect the guidance will have a significant impact on its financial position, operating results and liquidity.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with a term of more than one year. Accounting by lessors will remain similar to existing generally accepted accounting principles. The guidance becomes effective January 1, 2019. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial position, operating results and liquidity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled and will be applied on a prospective basis. The guidance also requires presentation of excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity, and can be applied retroactively or prospectively. The amended guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016; however, early adoption is permitted if all provisions are adopted in the same period. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial position, operating results and liquidity.

On March 3, 2016, the Corporation acquired the stock of Åkers AB and certain of its affiliated companies, including Åkers AB’s 60% equity interest in a Chinese joint venture company (collectively, “Åkers”) from Altor Fund II GP Limited (“Altor”). The purchase price, after the post-closing purchase price adjustment made in accordance with the purchase agreement during the second quarter of $3,100, approximated $74,155 and was comprised of $29,399 in cash, $22,619 in the form of three-year promissory notes, and 1,776,604 shares of common stock of the Corporation which, based on the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock as of the date of closing, had a fair value of $22,137. The notes bear interest at 6.5%, compounding annually, with principal and interest payable at maturity on March 3, 2019.

The acquisition adds roll production facilities in Sweden, the United States, Slovenia, and China; 14 sales offices; and a service capability in the United States. It enables cast roll production in the United States, forged roll production in Europe, and a low-cost product alternative for customers.

Operating results of the acquired entities are included in the Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment from the date of acquisition. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, net sales for Åkers approximated $40,441 and $53,024, respectively, and loss before income taxes including the effects of purchase accounting approximated $4,089 and $5,095, respectively. Acquisition-related transaction costs of $200 and $2,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 relating principally to the purchase of Åkers are included in selling and administrative costs.

The Corporation’s financial position as of March 31, 2016 included the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Åkers at their provisional fair value estimates. During the second quarter, the previously-mentioned post-closing purchase price adjustment of approximately $3,100 was recorded as a reduction in the outstanding principal balance of the three-year promissory notes and principally to goodwill. The Corporation also recorded an increase in property, plant and equipment of $2,742 with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. Neither of the adjustments had a material impact on the Corporation’s statements of operations for the three or six months ended June 30, 2016. The resulting estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition is as follows:

The estimated fair values primarily for intangible assets, noncontrolling interest, pre-acquisition contingencies, deferred income taxes, and goodwill are provisional amounts based, in part, on third party valuations currently under review and continue to be subject to final adjustments. Intangible assets consist of $6,400 for developed technology, $6,016 for customer relationships, and $3,556 for trade name. The economic life of the acquired intangible assets is estimated to be 5 years for developed technology, 10 years for customer relationships, and indefinite for the trade name. Goodwill is not amortized for book purposes or deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually in connection with the Corporation’s strategic planning process or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 differs from goodwill recognized as of the acquisition date due to the efforts of foreign currency translation.

Included in current liabilities is a loan payable to the non-controlling shareholder of the Chinese joint venture company which, with accrued interest, approximated $7,468 as of the date of acquisition. The interest rate is equal to the “benchmark lending rate” set by the People’s Bank of China. Both the loan and interest were payable as of December 31, 2015 but remain unpaid.

Pro Forma Financial Information for the Åkers Acquisition (unaudited):

The financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of the Corporation and Åkers on a pro forma basis, for the period in which the acquisition occurred as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of that period. Pro forma adjustments have been made to (1) include amortization expense on the definite-lived intangible assets identified in the acquisition and interest expense on the notes and (2) remove debt-related expenses associated with Åkers’ previous debt facilities not assumed by the Corporation. The following pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period presented:

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately 51% and 60% respectively, of the inventories were valued on the LIFO method with the remaining inventories valued on the FIFO method. Inventories were comprised of the following:

Property, plant and equipment were comprised of the following:

Land and buildings of Union Electric Steel UK Limited (“UES-UK”) equal to approximately $2,708 (£2,022) at June 30, 2016 are held as collateral by the trustees of the UES-UK defined benefit pension plan (see Note 6). Substantially all of the remaining assets are held as collateral for the Corporation’s Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (see Note 7).

Other current liabilities were comprised of the following:

Included in customer-related liabilities are costs expected to be incurred with respect to product warranties. Changes in the liability for product warranty claims consisted of the following:

Contributions were as follows:

In 2015, the U.S. Defined Benefit Plan was amended to freeze benefit accruals and participation in the plan for non-union hourly and salaried participants and, effective January 1, 2016, for employees of the Union Electric Steel Carnegie Steelworkers Location. Benefits under the plan were replaced with employer contributions equaling a 3% base contribution and a matching contribution of up to 4% to the defined contribution plan. The plan changes resulted in a curtailment loss of $1,217 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

As part of the Åkers acquisition, the Corporation assumed the obligations for two U.S. defined benefit pension plans, two foreign retirement benefit plans and two other postretirement benefit plans. None of the acquired benefit plans were fully funded as of the acquisition date. In April 2016, the Corporation elected to freeze participation in one of the U.S. defined benefit pension plans, effective June 1, 2016, and replace salary benefit accruals with employer non-elective contributions equaling 3% of compensation. The plan change resulted in a reduction in the plan liability of approximately $1,135 and a curtailment gain of $887. See also Note 16.

Net periodic pension and other postretirement costs include the following components:

In May 2016, the Corporation entered into a new five-year Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The Agreement provides for a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility that replaces the Corporation’s existing line of credit and letter of credit facilities. The Agreement provides for initial borrowings not to exceed $100,000 with an option to increase the credit facility by an additional $50,000. The Agreement also includes sublimits for letters of credit, not to exceed $40,000, and European borrowings, not to exceed $25,000.

Availability under the Agreement is based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility bear interest at the Corporation’s option at either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.25% to 1.75% based on the quarterly average excess availability or (2) the Base Rate plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.25% to 0.75% based on the quarterly average excess availability. Additionally, the Corporation is required to pay a commitment fee ranging between 0.25% and 0.375% based on the daily unused portion of the credit facility. The Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and is collateralized by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Corporation must also maintain a certain level of excess availability. If excess availability falls below the established threshold, or in an event of default, the Corporation will be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage of not less than 1.00 to 1.00.

In connection with the credit facility, the Corporation paid deferred financing fees of approximately $1,000 which are being amortized over the life of the Agreement. Unamortized deferred financing fees are included as a noncurrent asset in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Outstanding standby and commercial letters of credit as of June 30, 2016 approximated $27,067, of which approximately half serves as collateral for the Industrial Revenue Bond (“IRB”) debt. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Åkers, the Corporation issued two surety bonds to PRI Pensionsgaranti, guaranteeing certain obligations of Åkers Sweden AB and Åkers AB under a credit insurance policy relating to pension commitments. The total amount covered by the surety bonds is approximately $4,000 (SEK 33,900).

See Note 9 for derivative instruments, Note 14 for litigation and Note 15 for environmental matters.

Certain of the Corporation’s operations are subject to risk from exchange rate fluctuations in connection with sales in foreign currencies. To minimize this risk, foreign currency sales contracts are entered into which are designated as cash flow or fair value hedges. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $16,453 of anticipated foreign-denominated sales has been hedged which are covered by fair value contracts settling at various dates through July 2017. The fair value of assets held as collateral for the fair value contracts as of June 30, 2016 approximated $670.

Additionally, certain of the divisions of the Air and Liquid Processing segment are subject to risk from increases in the price of commodities (copper and aluminum) used in the production of inventory. To minimize this risk, futures contracts are entered into which are designated as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2016, approximately 41% or $2,616 of anticipated copper purchases over the next 17 months and 56% or $392 of anticipated aluminum purchases over the next six months are hedged.

The Corporation previously entered into foreign currency purchase contracts to manage the volatility associated with Euro-denominated progress payments to be made for certain machinery and equipment. As of December 31, 2010, all contracts had been settled and the underlying fixed assets were placed in service.

No portion of the existing cash flow or fair value hedges is considered to be ineffective, including any ineffectiveness arising from the unlikelihood of an anticipated transaction to occur. Additionally, no amounts have been excluded from assessing the effectiveness of a hedge.

At June 30, 2016, the Corporation has purchase commitments covering 40% or $1,624 of anticipated natural gas usage through 2017 at one of its subsidiaries. The commitments qualify as normal purchases and, accordingly, are not reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Purchases of natural gas under previously existing commitments approximated $346 and $542 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and $1,169 and $1,323 for the six months then ended, respectively.

The Corporation does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, holds no derivative instruments for trading purposes.

(Losses) gains on foreign exchange transactions included in other (expense) income approximated $(525) and $174 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and $648 and $(206) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The location and fair value of the foreign currency sales contracts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

The following summarizes the line items affected on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for components reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts in parentheses represent credits to net income.

The income tax expense (benefit) associated with the various components of other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is summarized below. Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude the effect of income taxes since earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time.

In May 2011, the shareholders of the Corporation approved the adoption of the Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”) which authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock for grants of equity-based compensation under the plan. In May 2016, the shareholders of the Corporation approved the adoption of the Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 1,100,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock for awards under the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan replaces the Predecessor Plan and no new awards will be granted under the Predecessor Plan. Any awards outstanding under the Predecessor Plan will remain subject to and be paid under the Predecessor Plan, and any shares subject to outstanding awards under the Predecessor Plan that subsequently expire, terminate, or are surrendered or forfeited for any reason without issuance of shares will automatically become available for issuance under the Incentive Plan.

15

Table of Contents

Awards under the Incentive Plan may include incentive non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and restricted stock units, performance awards, other stock-based awards or short-term cash incentive awards. If any award is canceled, terminates, expires or lapses for any reason prior to the issuance of shares, or if shares are issued under the Incentive Plan and thereafter are forfeited to the Corporation, the shares subject to such awards and the forfeited shares will not count against the aggregate number of shares available under the Incentive Plan. Shares tendered or withheld to pay the option exercise price or tax withholding will continue to count against the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for grant under the Incentive Plan. Any shares repurchased by the Corporation with cash proceeds from the exercise of options will not be added back to the pool of shares available for grant under the Incentive Plan.

The Incentive Plan may be administered by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine, within the limits of the express provisions of the Incentive Plan, the individuals to whom the awards will be granted and the nature, amount and terms of such awards.

The Incentive Plan also provides for equity-based awards during any one year to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, based on the grant date fair value, not to exceed $200. The limit does not apply to shares received by a non-employee director at his or her election in lieu of all or a portion of the director’s retainer for board service. In May 2016, 32,090 shares of the Corporation’s common stock were granted to the non-employee directors.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 equaled $874 and $353, respectively. The related income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the periods was approximately $306 and $123, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 equaled $1,203 and $578, respectively. The related income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the periods was approximately $421 and $202, respectively.

The Corporation’s financial assets and liabilities that are reported at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:

The investments held as other noncurrent assets represent assets held in a “Rabbi” trust for the purpose of providing benefits under a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan. The fair value of the investments is based on quoted prices of the investments in active markets. The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined based on the fair value of similar contracts with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value of futures contracts is based on market quotations. The fair value of the variable-rate IRB debt approximates its carrying value. Additionally, the fair value of trade receivables and trade payables approximates their carrying value.

Presented below are the net sales and (loss) income before income taxes for the Corporation’s two business segments.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to their businesses and are also subject to asbestos litigation as described below.

Asbestos Litigation

Claims have been asserted alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos-containing components historically used in some products of predecessors of Air & Liquid Systems Corporation (“Air & Liquid”), a subsidiary of the Corporation (“Asbestos Liability”). Air & Liquid and, in some cases, the Corporation are defendants (among numerous defendants, often in excess of 50) in cases filed in various state and federal courts.

Asbestos Claims

The following table reflects approximate information about the claims for Asbestos Liability against Air & Liquid and the Corporation for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

A substantial majority of the settlement and defense costs reflected in the above table was reported and paid by insurers. Because claims are often filed and can be settled or dismissed in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

17

Table of Contents

Asbestos Insurance

The Corporation and Air & Liquid are parties to a series of settlement agreements (“Settlement Agreements”) with insurers that have coverage obligations for Asbestos Liability (the “Settling Insurers”). Under the Settlement Agreements, the Settling Insurers accept financial responsibility, subject to the terms and conditions of the respective agreements, including overall coverage limits, for pending and future claims for Asbestos Liability. The Settlement Agreements encompass the substantial majority of insurance policies that provide coverage for claims for Asbestos Liability.

The Settlement Agreements include acknowledgements that Howden North America, Inc. (“Howden”) is entitled to coverage under policies covering Asbestos Liability for claims arising out of the historical products manufactured or distributed by Buffalo Forge Company, a former subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Products”). The Settlement Agreements do not provide for any prioritization on access to the applicable policies or any sublimits of liability as to Howden or the Corporation and Air & Liquid, and, accordingly, Howden may access the coverage afforded by the Settling Insurers for any covered claim arising out of a Product. In general, access by Howden to the coverage afforded by the Settling Insurers for the Products will erode coverage under the Settlement Agreements available to the Corporation and Air & Liquid for Asbestos Liability.

On February 24, 2011, the Corporation and Air & Liquid filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against thirteen domestic insurance companies, certain underwriters at Lloyd’s, London and certain London market insurance companies, and Howden. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment regarding the respective rights and obligations of the parties under excess insurance policies that were issued to the Corporation from 1981 through 1984 as respects claims against the Corporation and its subsidiary for Asbestos Liability and as respects asbestos bodily-injury claims against Howden arising from the Products. The Corporation and Air & Liquid have reached Settlement Agreements with all but two of the defendant insurers in the coverage action. Those Settlement Agreements specify the terms and conditions upon which the insurer parties are to contribute to defense and indemnity costs for claims for Asbestos Liability. One of the Settlement Agreements entered into by the Corporation and Air & Liquid also provided for the dismissal of claims, without prejudice, regarding two upper-level excess policies issued by one of the insurers. The Court has entered Orders dismissing all claims in the action filed against each other by the Corporation and Air & Liquid, on the one hand, and by the settling insurers, on the other. Howden also reached an agreement with eight domestic insurers addressing asbestos-related bodily injury claims arising from the Products, and claims as to those insurers and Howden have been dismissed. Various counterclaims, cross claims and third party claims have been filed in the litigation and remain pending although only two domestic insurers and Howden remain in the litigation as to the Corporation and Air & Liquid. On September 27, 2013, the Court issued a memorandum opinion and order granting in part and denying in part cross motions for summary judgment filed by the Corporation and Air & Liquid, Howden, and the insurer parties still in the litigation. On February 26, 2015, the Court issued final judgment. One insurer filed a notice of appeal from the judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals to the Third Circuit; as a result, several other insurers, Howden, the Corporation, and Air & Liquid filed notices of case appeal. The appeals are presently pending, and the parties have been involved in a mediation through the Third Circuit’s mediator’s office.

Asbestos Valuations

In 2006, the Corporation retained Hamilton, Rabinovitz & Associates, Inc. (“HR&A”), a nationally recognized expert in the valuation of asbestos liabilities, to assist the Corporation in estimating the potential liability for pending and unasserted future claims for Asbestos Liability. HR&A was not requested to estimate asbestos claims against the inactive subsidiary in dissolution, which the Corporation believes are immaterial. Based on this analysis, the Corporation recorded a reserve for Asbestos Liability claims pending or projected to be asserted through 2013 as of December 31, 2006. HR&A’s analysis has been periodically updated since that time. Most recently, the HR&A analysis was updated in 2014, and additional reserves were established by the Corporation as of December 31, 2014 for Asbestos Liability claims pending or projected to be asserted through 2024. The methodology used by HR&A in its projection in 2014 of the operating subsidiaries’ liability for pending and unasserted potential future claims for Asbestos Liability, which is substantially the same as the methodology employed by HR&A in prior estimates, relied upon and included the following factors:

18

Table of Contents

Using this information, HR&A estimated in 2014 the number of future claims for Asbestos Liability that would be filed through the year 2024, as well as the settlement or indemnity costs that would be incurred to resolve both pending and future unasserted claims through 2024. This methodology has been accepted by numerous courts.

In conjunction with developing the aggregate liability estimate referenced above, the Corporation also developed an estimate of probable insurance recoveries for its Asbestos Liabilities. In developing the estimate, the Corporation considered HR&A’s projection for settlement or indemnity costs for Asbestos Liability and management’s projection of associated defense costs (based on the current defense to indemnity cost ratio), as well as a number of additional factors. These additional factors included the Settlement Agreements then in effect, policy exclusions, policy limits, policy provisions regarding coverage for defense costs, attachment points, prior impairment of policies and gaps in the coverage, policy exhaustions, insolvencies among certain of the insurance carriers, and the nature of the underlying claims for Asbestos Liability asserted against the subsidiaries and the Corporation as reflected in the Corporation’s asbestos claims database, as well as estimated erosion of insurance limits on account of claims against Howden arising out of the Products. In addition to consulting with the Corporation’s outside legal counsel on these insurance matters, the Corporation consulted with a nationally-recognized insurance consulting firm it retained to assist the Corporation with certain policy allocation matters that also are among the several factors considered by the Corporation when analyzing potential recoveries from relevant historical insurance for Asbestos Liabilities. Based upon all of the factors considered by the Corporation, and taking into account the Corporation’s analysis of publicly available information regarding the credit-worthiness of various insurers, the Corporation estimated the probable insurance recoveries for Asbestos Liability and defense costs through 2024. Although the Corporation believes that the assumptions employed in the insurance valuation were reasonable and previously consulted with its outside legal counsel and insurance consultant regarding those assumptions, there are other assumptions that could have been employed that would have resulted in materially lower insurance recovery projections.

Based on the analyses described above, the Corporation’s reserve at December 31, 2014 for the total costs, including defense costs, for Asbestos Liability claims pending or projected to be asserted through 2024 was $189,048 of which approximately 64% was attributable to settlement costs for unasserted claims projected to be filed through 2024 and future defense costs. The reserve at June 30, 2016 was $161,098. While it is reasonably possible that the Corporation will incur additional charges for Asbestos Liability and defense costs in excess of the amounts currently reserved, the Corporation believes that there is too much uncertainty to provide for reasonable estimation of the number of future claims, the nature of such claims and the cost to resolve them beyond 2024. Accordingly, no reserve has been recorded for any costs that may be incurred after 2024.

The Corporation’s receivable at December 31, 2014 for insurance recoveries attributable to the claims for which the Corporation’s Asbestos Liability reserve has been established, including the portion of incurred defense costs covered by the Settlement Agreements in effect through December 31, 2014, and the probable payments and reimbursements relating to the estimated indemnity and defense costs for pending and unasserted future Asbestos Liability claims, was $140,651 ($119,246 at June 30, 2016).

The following table summarizes activity relating to insurance recoveries.

The insurance receivable recorded by the Corporation does not assume any recovery from insolvent carriers and a substantial majority of the insurance recoveries deemed probable was from insurance companies rated A – (excellent) or better by A.M. Best Corporation. There can be no assurance, however, that there will not be further insolvencies among the relevant insurance carriers, or that the assumed percentage recoveries for certain carriers will prove correct. The difference between insurance recoveries and projected costs is not due to exhaustion of all insurance coverage for Asbestos Liability. The Corporation and the subsidiaries have substantial additional insurance coverage which the Corporation expects to be available for Asbestos Liability claims and defense costs that the subsidiaries and it may incur after 2024. However, this insurance coverage also can be expected to have gaps creating significant shortfalls of insurance recoveries as against claims expense, which could be material in future years.

The amounts recorded by the Corporation for Asbestos Liabilities and insurance receivables rely on assumptions that are based on currently known facts and strategy. The Corporation’s actual expenses or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Corporation’s or HR&A’s calculations vary significantly from actual

results. Key variables in these assumptions are identified above and include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of disposing of each such new claim, average annual defense costs, compliance by relevant parties with the terms of the Settlement Agreements, the resolution of remaining coverage issues with insurance carriers, and the solvency risk with respect to the relevant insurance carriers. Other factors that may affect the Corporation’s Asbestos Liability and ability to recover under its insurance policies include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation.

The Corporation intends to evaluate its estimated Asbestos Liability and related insurance receivables as well as the underlying assumptions on a regular basis to determine whether any adjustments to the estimates are required. Due to the uncertainties surrounding asbestos litigation and insurance, these regular reviews may result in the Corporation incurring future charges; however, the Corporation is currently unable to estimate such future charges. Adjustments, if any, to the Corporation’s estimate of its recorded Asbestos Liability and/or insurance receivables could be material to operating results for the periods in which the adjustments to the liability or receivable are recorded, and to the Corporation’s liquidity and consolidated financial position.

The Corporation is currently performing certain remedial actions in connection with the sale of real estate previously owned. Environmental exposures are difficult to assess and estimate for numerous reasons including lack of reliable data, the multiplicity of possible solutions, the years of remedial and monitoring activity required, and identification of new sites. In the opinion of management and in consideration of advice from the Corporation’s consultants, the potential liability for all environmental proceedings of approximately $285 recorded at June 30, 2016 is considered adequate based on information known to date.

In July 2016, the Corporation notified retirees (or surviving spouses of retirees) of Åkers National Roll Company that the Postretirement Benefits Plan will be modified. Effective January 1, 2017, retiree health benefits for those individuals pre-Medicare eligible will be replaced with a monthly stipend for up to a five year period. The Corporation is currently evaluating the financial statement effects of this modification.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Executive Overview

Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) manufacture and sell highly engineered, high performance specialty metal products and customized equipment utilized by industry throughout the world. We operate in two business segments – the Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment and the Air and Liquid Processing segment.

The Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment historically consisted of Union Electric Steel Corporation (“Union Electric Steel” or “UES”) and Union Electric Steel UK Limited (“UES-UK”). On March 3, 2016, UES acquired the stock of Åkers AB and certain of its affiliated companies, including Åkers AB’s 60% equity interest in a Chinese joint venture company (collectively, “Åkers”) from Altor Fund II GP Limited. Doing business as Union Electric Åkers, the segment now has operations in the United States, England, Sweden and Slovenia and an equity interest in three joint venture companies in China. The companies produce ingot and forged products and cast products that service a wide variety of industries globally. It specializes in the production of forged hardened steel rolls used mainly for cold rolling by producers of steel, aluminum and other metals and cast rolls for hot and cold strip mills, medium/heavy section mills and plate mills in a variety of iron and steel qualities. In addition, UES produces ingot and open die forged products (“other forging products”) which are used in the gas and oil industry and the aluminum and plastic extrusion industries and provides a service capability in the United States. The group primarily competes with European, Asian and North and South American companies in both domestic and foreign markets and distributes a significant portion of its products through sales offices located throughout the world.

The Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment has been operating at levels significantly below capacity due to an overall reduction in global demand for roll product. Market conditions in the United States, Europe and other world regions remain difficult due to weaknesses in our customer base, which is suffering from excess steelmaking capacity and an over-supply of rolls worldwide. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies has further hampered opportunity. With the global steelmaking industry operating well below capacity, customer emphasis has been on roll cost versus performance. Accordingly, pricing has suffered and profit margins have decreased. While demand for rolls remains weak, pricing has begun to stabilize. The pricing of steel coils has rebounded slightly during the second quarter and many of our customers have announced improved ongoing results which should result in improved roll pricing. While currently representing a minor portion of the segment’s business activity, ongoing efforts to diversify our customer base have resulted in expansion of our other forging products. Although being affected by weak demand as a result of the falloff in crude oil pricing, sales of other forging products have offset some of the effects of current roll market constraints through utilization of available production capacity.

Union Electric Steel MG Roll Co., Ltd (“UES-MG”), the Chinese joint venture company in which a subsidiary of UES holds a 49% interest, principally manufactures and sells forged backup rolling mill rolls of a size and weight currently not able to be produced by UES. Similar to UES, the joint venture has been adversely impacted by the global economy, resulting in significantly depressed pricing and reduced demand from its potential customer base in China. Losses have been consistently incurred since 2009, in which we have recognized our share (49%) in our consolidated statements of operations, and are expected to continue through 2016 and into 2017. Additionally, the overall financial strength of the joint venture remains weak with a significant reliance on the 51% partner or entities controlled by the 51% partner to provide financing and working capital. We will continue to monitor the carrying value of this investment ($1,725 at June 30, 2016) to determine if future charges are necessary.

The Air and Liquid Processing segment includes Aerofin, Buffalo Air Handling and Buffalo Pumps, all divisions of Air & Liquid Systems Corporation (“Air and Liquid”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Aerofin produces custom-engineered finned tube heat exchange coils and related heat transfer products for a variety of industries including OEM/Commercial, fossil fuel, nuclear power generation and industrial process. Buffalo Air Handling produces large custom-designed air handling systems for institutional (e.g., hospital, university), pharmaceutical and general industrial building markets. Buffalo Pumps manufactures centrifugal pumps for the fossil fuel power generation, marine defense and industrial refrigeration industries. The segment has operations in Virginia and New York with headquarters in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. The segment distributes a significant portion of its products through a common independent group of sales offices located throughout the United States and Canada.

For the Air and Liquid Processing segment, business activity in the specialty centrifugal pump industry continues to be strong while a decline in the fossil-fueled power generation market and industrial markets is negatively affecting our heat exchanger business. The downturn in the fossil-fueled power generation market is due to a falloff in spending for coal-fired power plants while the industrial markets are being impacted by lower spending in the industrial replacement market and increased competition. The market for custom air handling systems has improved; however, competitive pricing pressures continue. The focus for this segment is to grow revenues, increase margins, strengthen engineering and manufacturing capabilities, and enhance the sales and marketing approach.

Consolidated Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $93,301 and $59,973 and $156,879 and $125,060 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Backlog approximated $249,300 at June 30, 2016 versus $141,825 as of December 31, 2015 and $150,729 as of June 30, 2015. A discussion of sales and backlog for the Corporation’s two segments is included below.

Costs of products sold, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net sales approximated 83.0% and 81.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to 80.4% and 80.2% for the same periods of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the effects of purchase accounting associated with the acquisition including the write-up of inventory to its estimated net realizable value. As the inventory is sold, the higher inventory values are recognized as costs of products sold, excluding depreciation and amortization. The impact to costs of products sold, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net sales was approximately 240 basis points for each of the current year periods. As of June 30, 2016, the majority of this inventory has been sold; accordingly, the future impact is not expected to be significant.

Selling and administrative expenses totaled $15,187 (16.3% of net sales) and $28,695 (18.3% of net sales) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared $9,175 (15.3% of net sales) and $18,571 (14.8% of net sales) for the same periods of the prior year. The increase is attributable primarily to (1) selling and administrative costs of Åkers which approximated $4,744 and $6,973, respectively, and (2) transaction and other costs resulting from the acquisition of Åkers which approximated $200 and $2,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation and amortization of intangibles for the Åkers-related business from the date of acquisition which approximated $2,346 and $3,074 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Loss from operations approximated $4,856 and $806 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and $9,819 and $304 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. A discussion of operating results for the Corporation’s two segments is included below.

Forged and Cast Engineered Products. Net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 increased significantly when compared to the same periods of the prior year. The recently acquired Åkers businesses added sales of approximately $40,441 and $53,024, respectively. With respect to roll sales of our legacy businesses, sales of forged rolls for the U.S. operations improved slightly for each of the periods while sales of cast rolls for the U.K. operations were impacted by lower volume of shipments, particularly to its European customer base, and a decline in the exchange rate which reduced translated sales by approximately $600 and $1,400 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Additionally, sales of open-die forged products to the oil and gas industry were approximately $1,800 and $9,300 less for the current three and six month periods, respectively, when compared to a year ago.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, which include the operating results of Åkers from the date of acquisition, were less than the same periods of the prior year. Operating losses of Åkers approximated $3,400 and $5,400 for the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, and include unfavorable effects of purchase accounting of approximately $2,900 and $4,500 for the same periods. Quarter to quarter, lower margins impacted earnings by approximately $3,300 while a higher level of production for the forged roll business and an increase in the volume of shipments improved results by approximately $2,800 and $700, respectively. Year over year, operating income benefited by approximately $3,800 from higher production volumes for the forged roll business; however, lower shipping levels and weaker pricing from a year ago impacted operating results by approximately $900 and $5,000, respectively, more than offsetting the improvement.

Backlog approximated $211,212 at June 30, 2016 against $106,582 as of December 31, 2015 and $108,682 as of June 30, 2015. Backlog for Åkers approximated $112,000 as of June 30, 2016. Backlog for the legacy forged roll operations improved slightly when compared to year end and a year ago; however, backlog for the cast roll business fell sharply principally due to lower demand, weaker pricing and lower exchange rates. Approximately $68,726 of the current backlog is expected to ship after 2016.

Air and Liquid Processing. Sales and operating income for the three months ended June 2016 were slightly less than the comparable prior year period principally driven by lower heat exchanger coil shipments to the coal-fired power generation market. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, sales were comparable to the prior year level and operating income improved primarily as a result of the curtailment charge of $268 recorded in the first quarter of 2015 associated with the partial freezing of the U.S Defined Benefit Plan.

For the current year periods, net sales of air handling units increased by approximately 25% principally on higher volume of shipments, net sales of heat exchange coils fell by approximately 15% due to a lower volume of shipments to the fossil-fueled utility and industrial markets, and net sales of pumps decreased by approximately 5% due to a lower volume of commercial pump shipments. Backlog approximated $38,088 at June 30, 2016 against $35,243 as of December 31, 2015 and $42,047 as of June 30, 2015. The majority of backlog will ship in 2016.

Investment-related income includes a dividend from the Corporation’s U.K./Chinese cast roll joint venture company of almost $400.

Interest expense includes interest on the notes issued in connection with the purchase of Åkers and the loan payable to the noncontrolling shareholder of the Åkers Chinese joint venture totaling a combined $471 and $650 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Other income (expense) fluctuated primarily as a result of movement in foreign exchange gains and losses. During the quarter, the U.S. dollar strengthened and, on news of the U.K. potentially leaving the European Union, the British pound sterling fell sharply. Accordingly, foreign exchange losses were incurred during the quarter compared to foreign exchange gains a year ago. However, on a year-to-date basis, the Corporation continues to benefit from foreign exchange gains in comparison to foreign exchange losses in the prior year.

Income tax (provision) benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 includes valuation allowances of approximately $1,400 against the net deferred tax assets of certain of the Corporation’s international operations. Additionally, no tax benefit has been recognized on the losses incurred by these operations in the current year periods given their three-year cumulative loss position.

Net loss and loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 equaled $(6,486) or $(0.53) per common share and $(9,376) or $(0.81) per common share, respectively, and includes an after-tax impact for purchase accounting and transaction and other related acquisition costs of approximately $(3,000) or $(0.24) per common share and $(6,100) or $(0.53) per common share, respectively. The valuation allowances established in the second quarter of 2016 further impacted net loss and loss per common share by approximately $(1,400) or $(0.12) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decline is principally associated with higher losses incurred from operations and a reduction in accounts payable principally for the Åkers entities.

Net cash flows used in investing activities represent primarily the cash portion for the acquisition of Åkers, net of cash acquired. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were less than the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related primarily to lower spend for the Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment. As of June 30, 2016, commitments for future capital expenditures approximated $6,600 which is expected to be spent over the next 6 to 12 months.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were comparable for each of the quarters and represented primarily payment of dividends. The dividend rate was $0.18 per common share, reduced to $0.09 per common share effective with the March 2016 dividend declaration.

As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents decreased $48,667 in 2016 and ended the period at $46,455 (of which approximately $13,005 was held by foreign operations) in comparison to $95,122 at December 31, 2015 (of which approximately $10,785 was held by foreign operations). Repatriation of foreign funds may result in the Corporation accruing and paying additional income tax; however, the majority of such amounts are currently deemed to be permanently reinvested and no additional provision for income tax has been made.

Funds on hand and funds generated from future operations are expected to be sufficient to finance the operational and capital expenditure requirements of the Corporation. The Corporation also entered into a revolving credit facility during the quarter which, as of June 30, 2016, had availability of approximately $42,000.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION

The information contained in Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements (Litigation) is incorporated herein by reference.

There are no material changes to the Risk Factors contained in Item 1A to Part I of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 other than failure to achieve forecasted income could change the Corporation’s assessment of the recoverability of its remaining net deferred tax assets and would likely result in an increase in the valuation allowance in the applicable period. Any increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense, which could have a significant impact on the Corporation’s results of operations.
