FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CARNEGIE, PA

Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results
Carnegie, PA, August 3, 2016 Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) reported sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 of $93,301,000 and $156,879,000, respectively, compared to $59,973,000 and $125,060,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The current year periods include sales of $40,441,000 and $53,024,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, associated with the March 3, 2016, acquisition of Åkers AB and certain of its affiliated companies (Åkers). The Corporation reported a loss from operations of $4,856,000 and $9,819,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to a loss from operations of $806,000 and $304,000 for the comparable prior year periods. The current year operating loss includes unfavorable pre-tax purchase accounting, transaction-related and other acquisition-related costs of approximately $3,000,000 and $6,400,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, related to the Åkers acquisition. Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, was $6,486,000 or $0.53 per common share and $9,376,000 or $0.81 per common share, respectively. Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, equaled $520,000 or $0.05 per common share and $448,000 or $0.04, respectively. The income tax provision for the current year periods includes full valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our international operations.
Sales for the Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment for the three months ended June 30, 2016, nearly doubled the prior year level with the inclusion of the acquired Åkers businesses, offset, in part, by a lower volume of European cast roll shipments. Additionally, forged roll sales improved from a year ago, but this increase was largely offset by a decline in the volume of open-die forged shipments to the oil and gas industry. The segment recorded an operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, driven primarily by the inclusion of Åkers, including the unfavorable effects of purchase accounting and acquisition-related costs. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were substantially higher than the prior year period, driven by the inclusion of the Åkers acquisition, which more than offset sales volume declines in the legacy roll businesses and a decline in forged engineered product shipments to the oil and gas industry. The segment recorded an operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to a modest operating income for prior year period, led primarily by purchase accounting impacts related to the Åkers acquisition and the aforementioned sales volume declines.
Sales for the Air and Liquid Processing segment for the three months ended June 2016 were slightly below prior year, driven principally by lower heat exchanger coil shipments to the coal-fired power generation market. Operating income declined slightly on lower volumes. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, although sales were comparable to prior year levels, operating income was higher, primarily related to the curtailment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2015 associated with the partial freezing of the U.S. Defined Benefit Plan.
Compared to the second quarter of 2015, Other Income (Expense) for the second quarter of 2016 included dividend income from a minority-owned Chinese joint venture. This was offset by higher interest expense related primarily to the Åkers acquisition and a foreign exchange loss in the current quarter, compared to a modest foreign exchange gain in the prior year quarter given the stronger U.S. dollar. For the year-to-date period, Other Income (Expense) was favorable compared to prior year as net foreign exchange gains and the current year dividend income more than offset the higher interest expense.
Commenting on the quarter, John Stanik, Ampco-Pittsburghs Chief Executive Officer said, Beneath the acquisition-related accounting effects and non-operational items in our results, I am encouraged by the sequential sales and earnings improvement in our Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment, as well as the continued stability in our Air and Liquid Processing segment. We have made progress in the integration of the Åkers businesses and capturing synergies. Additionally, most of the purchase accounting and acquisition-related impacts to income will be behind us moving forward. I am also encouraged by improving conditions in the steel industry in general.
