Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2021

NOTE 1 — Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our” or the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) 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- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The balance sheet at December 31, 2020 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, 2020.

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, 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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which was issued in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance is effective upon issuance and may be adopted on any date on or after March 12, 2020. However, the relief is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022 or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of this standard.

No other recently issued ASUs are expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
    
NOTE 3 - Revenue

We disaggregate our revenue by product line and geographic region of our customer, as we believe these metrics best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See details in the tables below.

NOTE 4 — Segments

Our operating segments are defined as components of the enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance.

For purposes of measuring business segment performance, the Company utilizes segment operating income, which is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the product lines within each segment. The Company does not allocate items that are non-operating; unusual in nature; or corporate costs, which include but are not limited to executive and share-based compensation and corporate office costs. Segment operating income reconciles to consolidated income before income taxes by deducting corporate costs; Other components of pension income and other postretirement benefits expense, net; and interest expense, net.

Results by business segment were as follows:

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, a substantial tax-and-spending package intended to provide additional economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Significant impacts of the CARES Act include the ability to carry back a net operating loss for five years and an increase of the Internal Revenue Code Section 163(j) interest expense disallowance limitations from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income, which will allow the Company to deduct additional interest expense for the 2019 and 2020 tax years.  The Company is assessing the potential impact of global relief packages and the CARES Act.
Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.8 million, representing an effective rate of 34%, compared to $9.6 million, or 36%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The rate in the 2021 period is higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the additional benefit recorded as result of the net operating loss carryback claim under the CARES Act and amended returns filed during the quarter. The rate in the 2020 period is higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due to an earnings mix that yields an increase in the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) inclusion, and also reduces the benefit of foreign tax credits and the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deduction.

Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.9 million, representing an effective rate of 90%, compared to $4.1 million, or 21%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The rate in the 2021 period is higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the additional benefit recorded as result of the net operating loss carryback claim under the CARES Act and the composition of earnings.

NOTE 12 — Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability for loss contingencies in the consolidated financial statements when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Our provisions are based on historical experience, current information and legal advice, and they may be adjusted in the future based on new developments. Estimating probable losses requires the analysis of multiple forecasted factors that often depend on judgments and potential actions by third parties. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome or cost of these matters, the Company believes they will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

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.

In addition to the routine lawsuits and asserted claims noted above, we are also a co-defendant in approximately 125 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 229 plaintiffs alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. In every asbestos case in which we are named as a party, the complaints are filed against multiple named defendants. Historically, we have been dismissed from asbestos cases.  We intend to vigorously defend these cases and believe we will continue to be successful in being dismissed from such cases. 

While 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, 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.

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 Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our,” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a diversified international company providing world-class customers with a supply chain management outsourcing service, capital equipment used on their production lines, and manufactured components used to assemble their products. We operate through three reportable segments: Supply Technologies, Assembly Components and Engineered Products.

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

Assembly Components manufactures products oriented towards fuel efficiency and reduced emission standards. Assembly Components designs, develops and manufactures aluminum products and highly efficient, high pressure direct fuel injection fuel rails and pipes; fuel filler pipes that route fuel from the gas cap to the gas tank; flexible multi-layer plastic and rubber assemblies used to transport fuel from the vehicle's gas tank and then, at extreme high pressure, to the engine's fuel injector nozzles. Our product offerings include gasoline direct injection systems and fuel filler assemblies, and industrial hose and injected molded rubber and plastic components. Additional products 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. Our products are primarily used in the following industries: automotive, including automotive and light-vehicle; agricultural equipment; construction equipment; 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 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 following industries: 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.

Sales and operating income for these three segments are provided in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere herein.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and it spread throughout the United States and other countries around the world.  The pandemic has negatively impacted several of the markets we serve. In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to manage our operating costs, including through reductions in costs associated with plant consolidation, severance, and discretionary spending cuts. We also continue to manage both working capital and capital spending. Although there continues to be uncertainty related to the anticipated impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results, we believe our diversified portfolio of global businesses, our liquidity position of $221.4 million as of June 30, 2021, and the steps we have taken in both 2020 and 2021 to reduce costs leave us well-positioned to manage our business through this crisis as it continues to unfold.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 53.3% to $350.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $228.3 million in the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher customer demand across all three of our business segments, largely driven by recovery from lower sales levels in the 2020 second quarter caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including a shut-down of the North American automotive market and reduced customer demand across many other global end markets.

The factors explaining the changes in segment net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding 2020 period are contained within the “Segment Results” section below.

Cost of Sales & Gross Profit

Cost of sales increased 44.8% to $310.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $214.1 million in the same period in 2020. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in net sales for the 2021 period compared to the corresponding period in 2020.

Gross margin was 11.4% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 6.2% in the same period in 2020. The increase was due primarily to higher profit flow-through from higher sales in the 2021 period compared to the same period a year ago. The second quarter of 2021 included expenses of $0.6 million related to plant closure and consolidation, severance and other actions to reduce costs. The second quarter of 2020 included charges of $2.9 million related to plant closure and consolidation, severance and other actions to reduce costs.

SG&A Expenses
22

Table of Contents


SG&A expenses increased to $43.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $35.1 million in the comparable period in 2020, an increase of 23.4%. In response to significantly lower demand levels caused by the pandemic in the 2020 second quarter, the Company took immediate actions in many of its operations to reduce costs, including workforce furloughs, permanent headcount reductions, salary and incentive compensation reductions, and cuts in discretionary spending. As demand levels increased in 2021, a portion of the SG&A expense reduction from 2020 was restored to meet the increasing demand. SG&A expenses in the 2021 period included $0.8 million of charges related to plant closure and consolidation, severance and other actions to reduce costs, and acquisition-related expenses of $0.4 million. SG&A expenses in the 2020 period included severance and other charges of $0.4 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses improved to 12.4% in the 2021 second quarter compared to 15.4% in the 2020 second quarter.

Other Components of Pension Income and Other Postretirement Benefits Expense (“OPEB”), Net

Other components of pension income and OPEB expense, net was $2.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.8 million in the corresponding period in 2020. This increase in the 2021 period relates to higher returns on plan assets in the 2021 period compared to the same period a year ago.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $7.5 million in the 2020 period. The decrease was due to lower average outstanding borrowings during the 2021 period.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.8 million, representing an effective rate of 34%, compared to $9.6 million, or 36%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The rate in the 2021 period is higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the additional benefit recorded as result of the net operating loss carryback claim under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and amended returns filed during the quarter. The rate in the 2020 period is higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due to an earnings mix that yields an increase in the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) inclusion, and also reduces the benefit of foreign tax credits and the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deduction.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 19.3% to $709.6 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $594.6 million in the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher customer demand in our Supply Technologies and Assembly Components business segments, partially offset by lower demand in our Engineered Products segment.

The factors explaining the changes in segment net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding 2020 period are contained in the “Segment Results” section below.

Cost of Sales & Gross Profit

Cost of sales increased 17.3% to $617.7 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $526.5 million in the same period in 2020. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in net sales described above.

Gross margin was 13.0% in the first six months of 2021 compared to 11.5% in the corresponding period in 2020. The increase was due primarily to higher profit flow-through from higher sales in the 2021 period compared to the same period a year ago. The 2021 period included expenses of $1.1 million related to plant closure and consolidation, severance and other

actions to reduce costs. The 2020 period included charges of $3.1 million related to plant closure and consolidation, severance and other actions to reduce costs.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses were $83.0 million in the first six months of 2021, compared to $76.0 million in the same period in 2020, an increase of 9.2%. In response to significantly lower demand levels caused by the pandemic in 2020, the Company took immediate actions in many of its operations to reduce costs, including workforce furloughs, permanent headcount reductions, salary and incentive compensation reductions, and cuts in discretionary spending. As demand levels increased in 2021, a portion of the SG&A expense reduction from 2020 was restored to meet the increasing demand. SG&A expenses in the 2021 period included $1.6 million of charges related to plant closure and consolidation, severance and other actions to reduce costs, and acquisition-related expenses of $0.4 million. SG&A expenses in the 2020 period included severance and other charges of $0.6 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses improved to 11.7% in the 2021 period compared to 12.8% in the 2020 period.

Other Components of Pension Income and OPEB, Net

Other components of pension income and OPEB expense, net was $4.9 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $3.6 million in the corresponding period in 2020. This increase was driven by higher returns on plan assets and lower interest costs in the 2021 period compared to the same period a year ago.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $14.8 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $15.5 million in the 2020 period. The decrease was due primarily to lower average outstanding borrowings in the 2021 period compared to the same period a year ago.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.9 million, representing an effective rate of 90%, compared to income tax benefit of $4.1million, or 21%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The rate in the 2021 period is higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the additional benefit recorded as result of the net operating loss carryback claim under the CARES Act and the composition of earnings.

SEGMENT RESULTS

For purposes of business segment performance measurement, the Company utilizes segment operating income, which is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the product lines within each segment. The Company does not allocate items that are non-operating or unusual in nature or are corporate costs, which include but are not limited to executive and share-based compensation and corporate office costs.

Net sales increased 64.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the 2020 period due primarily to higher customer demand in substantially all of the Company's end markets, with the largest increases in heavy-duty truck, powersports, automotive and agricultural equipment. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, customer demand in 2020 was down significantly in most of our key end markets.

Segment operating income increased by $9.9 million and segment operating income margin was up 630 basis points in the 2021 period compared to the same period a year ago. These increases were driven by increased sales, the impact of cost reduction actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and favorable product mix. These positive factors were partially offset by higher freight costs in the 2021 period as a result of global supply chain constraints and a labor strike at a major truck assembly plant.

Net sales increased 33.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the 2020 period due primarily to higher customer demand in most of the Company's end markets, with the biggest increases in heavy-duty truck, powersports, automotive and agricultural equipment. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, customer demand in 2020 was down significantly in most of our key end markets.

Segment operating income increased by $13.0 million and segment operating income margin was up 320 basis points in the 2021 period compared to the same period a year ago. These net increases were driven by increased sales, the impact of cost reduction actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and favorable product mix. These positive factors were partially offset by higher freight costs in the 2021 period as a result of global supply chain constraints and a labor strike at a major truck assembly plant.

Net sales increased 99.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the 2020 period due primarily to the shut-down of North American automotive production in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Segment operating loss in the 2021 period improved by $8.5 million, and segment operating loss margin improved significantly compared to the corresponding period of 2020.  These increases were due primarily to higher profit flow-through on the higher sales levels. The loss in the 2021 period was driven by the negative impacts of the global semiconductor chip shortage; higher raw material costs; operational inefficiencies driven by labor shortages, including higher temporary labor costs; charges of $0.8 million related to plant closure and consolidation activities; and new program start-up and launch costs. The loss in the 2020 period was driven by lower sales as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Segment operating income in the 2021 period increased by $8.5 million, and segment operating income margin improved compared to the 2020 period. These improvements were due primarily to higher profit flow-through on the higher sales levels. The loss in the 2021 period was driven by the factors listed above under the three-month discussion. The loss in the 2020 period was driven by lower sales as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three months ended June 30:

Net sales were 8.2% higher in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. The increase was due to stronger demand in the 2021 period for our capital equipment products, partially offset by lower customer demand in certain end markets in our forged and machined products business, including oil and gas, aerospace, rail and agriculture.

Segment operating loss in the 2021 period improved by $0.1 million compared to the corresponding 2020 period as a result of the higher sales levels and improved profitability in our capital equipment group in the 2021 period, which were partially offset by manufacturing under-absorption of fixed costs at certain plants and by charges of $0.6 million in 2021 related to plant closure and consolidation.

Six months ended June 30:

Net sales were 8.5% lower in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. The decrease was due to lower demand in certain end markets in our forged and machined products business and lower customer demand for new capital equipment.

Segment operating loss was $1.9 million in the 2021 period compared to segment operating income of $3.0 million in the 2020 period. This decrease in profitability of $4.9 million was due to the lower sales levels, manufacturing under-absorption of fixed costs at certain plants, and charges of $1.3 million related to plant closure and consolidation activities in the 2021 period.

Increase in cash and cash equivalents$0.3 $(4.1)$4.4 

Operating Activities

Cash generated by operating activities in the 2021 period was lower than in the prior year period driven by higher working capital usage in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period a year ago. In the 2021 period, working capital usage was $40.2 million, compared to working capital reduction in the 2020 period of $6.3 million. Higher inventories were the primary driver of our higher working capital in 2021, due to both higher material costs and increased inventory levels in certain businesses and locations in response to global supply chain constraints, various facility closures and consolidations, and certain new program launches. Working capital usage was partially offset by a lower net loss in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were $14.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and were primarily to provide increased capacity for future growth in our Assembly Components segment and to maintain existing operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company also acquired NYK Component Solutions Limited (“NYK”) for $5.4 million, net of cash acquired. Capital expenditures of $9.4 million in the 2020 period were lower than in the 2021 period, as we aggressively managed capital spending in 2020 in response to the pandemic.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had net debt borrowings of $49.0 million compared to $3.3 million in the 2020 period. The increased borrowings in the current year period were used to fund our higher working capital levels, our higher capital level, and the acquisition of NYK. In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, we made two cash dividend payments to shareholders totaling $3.1 million, whereas in the 2020 period, we only made one cash dividend payment totaling $1.6 million, as the dividend was temporarily suspended in the second quarter of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the 2020 period, the Company repurchased treasury shares totaling $5.3 million.

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, other than the letters of credits disclosed in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere herein.

Liquidity

Our liquidity needs are primarily for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations, funds available from existing bank credit arrangements and the sale of our debt securities. Our existing financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and
28

Table of Contents

anticipated cash flow from operations are expected to be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months, including but not limited to our ability to maintain current operations and fund capital expenditure requirements, service our debt, pay dividends, pursue acquisitions, and repurchase common shares.

As of June 30, 2021, we had total liquidity of $221.4 million, which included $166.1 million of unused borrowing availability and cash and cash equivalents of $55.3 million.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries of $44.2 million at June 30, 2021 and $44.7 million at December 31, 2020. We do not expect restrictions on repatriation of cash held outside the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for the foreseeable future.

The Company has two components to its assertion regarding reinvestment of foreign earnings outside of the United States.  First, for all foreign subsidiaries except RB&W Corporation of Canada (“RB&W”), all earnings are permanently reinvested outside of the United States.  Second, for RB&W, dividend distributions may be made, but only to the extent of current earnings in excess of cash required to fund its business operations; all accumulated earnings are permanently reinvested.

Senior Notes

In April 2017, Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (“Park-Ohio”), the operating subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp., completed the sale, in a private placement, of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were used to repay in full our previously outstanding 8.125% Senior Notes due 2021 and our outstanding term loan, and to repay a portion of the borrowings then outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Credit Agreement

In June 2018, Park-Ohio entered into Amendment No. 1 to its Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The amendment to the Credit Agreement, among other things, provided increases in the availability under the revolving credit facility from $350.0 million to $375.0 million, the Canadian revolving subcommitment from $35.0 million to $40.0 million and the European revolving subcommitment from $25.0 million to $30.0 million. Furthermore, the Company has the option, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to increase the availability under the revolving credit facility by an aggregate incremental amount up to $100.0 million. In 2019, Park-Ohio entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement, extending the maturity of the Credit Agreement to November 26, 2024.

Finance Leases

In August 2015, the Company entered into a Capital Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”). The Lease Agreement provides the Company up to $50.0 million for finance leases. Finance lease obligations of $15.4 million were borrowed under the Lease Agreement to acquire machinery and equipment as of June 30, 2021.

Covenants

The future availability of bank borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement is based on (1) our calculated availability under the Credit Agreement and (2) if such calculated availability decreases below $46.875 million, our ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant. If our calculated availability is less than $46.875 million, our debt service coverage ratio must be greater than 1.0. At June 30, 2021, our calculated availability under the Credit Agreement was $143.6 million; therefore, the debt service ratio covenant did not apply.

Failure to maintain calculated availability of at least $46.875 million and meet the debt service ratio covenant could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings. Our debt service coverage ratio could be materially impacted by negative economic trends, including the negative trends caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. To make certain permitted payments as defined under the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to acquisitions and dividends, we must
29

Table of Contents

meet defined availability thresholds ranging from $37.5 million to $46.875 million, and a defined debt service coverage ratio of 1.15.

As our calculated availability under the Credit Agreement was above $46.875 million, we were also in compliance with the other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2021. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2021, declines in sales volumes in the future, including any declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely impact our ability to remain in compliance with certain of these financial covenants. Additionally, to the extent our customers are adversely affected by declines in the economy in general, including the decline caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, they may be unable to pay their accounts payable to us on a timely basis or at all, which could make our accounts receivable ineligible for purposes of the revolving credit facility and could reduce our borrowing base and our ability to borrow under such facility.

Dividends

The Company paid dividends to shareholders of $3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. On July 23, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share. The dividend will be paid on August 20, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 6, 2021 and will result in a cash outlay of approximately $1.6 million.
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 businesses. Such variability is particularly evident in our capital equipment business, included in the Engineered Products segment, which typically ships large systems at a relatively lower pace than our other businesses.

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, 2020, both contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no new critical accounting policies or updates to existing critical accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements 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. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

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, including statements regarding future performance of the Company, that are subject to 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 that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, the following: the ultimate impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity, including, without limitation, supply chain issues such as the global semiconductor chip shortage and logistic issues; 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; the impact of labor disturbances affecting our customers; 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 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 those related to the current global uncertainties and crises, such as tariffs and surcharges; adverse impacts to us, our suppliers and customers from acts of terrorism or hostilities; public health issues, including the outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact on our facilities and operations and our customers and suppliers; 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 or import and export controls and other trade barriers; 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; our dependence on the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries, which are highly cyclical; the dependence of the automotive industry on consumer spending; our ability to negotiate contracts with labor unions; our dependence on key management; our dependence on information systems; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends, and the timing and amount of any such dividends; and the other factors we describe under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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. As of June 30, 2021, we are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under the floating rate revolving credit facility provided by our Credit Agreement. A 100-basis-point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense on these borrowings of approximately $1.0 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. We face translation risks related to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated in U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Shareholders' equity section of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Sales and expenses at our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable monthly average exchange rates. Therefore, changes in exchange rates may either positively or negatively affect our net sales and expenses from foreign operations as expressed in U.S. dollars.

Our largest exposures to commodity prices relate to metal and natural gas prices, which have fluctuated widely in recent years. We do not have any commodity swap agreements, forward purchase or hedge contracts.

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 Exchange Act) 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.

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 June 30, 2021:

We were a co-defendant in approximately 125 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 229 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 four asbestos cases, involving 20 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages against named defendants. In each of the four cases, the plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages based on a variety of potentially alternative causes of action. In two cases, the plaintiff has alleged three counts at $3.0 million compensatory and punitive damages each; one count at $3.0 million compensatory and $1.0 million punitive damages; one count at $1.0 million. In the third case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory and punitive damages, each in the amount of $20.0 million, for three separate causes of action, and $5.0 million compensatory damages for the fifth cause of action. In the fourth case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory and punitive damages, each in the amount of $10.0 million, for ten 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.
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.
