FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CARNEGIE, PA
May 5, 2016
Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation Announces First Quarter Results
Carnegie, PA, May 5, 2016 Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) reported sales of $63,578,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $65,087,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the first quarter of 2016, the Corporation incurred an operating loss of $4,963,000, including pre-tax transaction-related costs of approximately $1,800,000 and pre-tax purchase accounting impacts of approximately $1,600,000 associated with the acquisition of Åkers AB and certain of its affiliated companies (Åkers) consummated on March 3, 2016. For the same period of the prior year, operating income approximated $502,000, which included a pre-tax curtailment charge of approximately $1,217,000 associated with a partial freezing of the U.S. defined benefit plan and benefited from a pre-tax credit of approximately $750,000 relating to the collection of accounts receivable previously written off. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Corporation incurred a net loss of $2,890,000 or $0.26 per common share which includes the after-tax impact of both transaction-related costs and purchase accounting of approximately $2,807,000 or $0.26 per common share. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Corporation earned net income of $72,000 or $0.01 per common share and includes an after-tax impact for the aforementioned curtailment charge and collection of accounts receivable previously written off of approximately $314,000 or $0.03 per common share.
Sales for the Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were slightly less than the same period of the prior year and included $12,583,000 for the newly acquired Åkers businesses. The addition of Åkers sales and a modest improvement in Union Electric Steel
forged roll sales offset lower cast roll sales and an approximate $8,600,000 decline in the volume of open-die forged shipments to the oil and gas industry. The segment recorded an operating loss for the quarter led by the inclusion of Åkers, including the effects of purchase accounting, and the lower volume of open-die forged shipments.
Sales for the Air and Liquid Processing segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were consistent with the prior year quarter. Operating income improved, however, primarily due to a higher volume of shipments for the air handling business and cost containment efforts.
Corporate costs increased from the prior year primarily as a result of the transaction-related costs associated with the Åkers acquisition. Consolidated other income (expense) principally benefitted from foreign-exchange gains during the quarter compared to foreign-exchange losses a year ago. The Corporations effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 approximated 21.3% in comparison to 32.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease principally is due to the change in the geographic mix of earnings.
Commenting on the quarter, John Stanik, Ampco-Pittsburghs Chief Executive Officer said, In light of the current state of the industries we serve, we are pleased with the performance of our forged roll business and the improved contribution from our Air and Liquid Processing segment. With the Åkers acquisition, we took advantage of an opportunity to build upon our market position, but the sudden weakness in the overall European cast roll market has been disappointing. Our immediate focus now is to integrate the acquired businesses and capture synergies to fully leverage our combined potential.
