Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2019

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-month periods ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 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, 2018.

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

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This accounting standard requires that a lessee recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months. In July 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance which allows an additional transition method to adopt the new leases standard at the adoption date, rather than as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company elected to transition to the new standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019 and therefore did not adjust its prior period financial information. On the transition date, we recognized operating right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities of approximately $69.7 million. We elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The Company also made an accounting policy election not to record a right-of-use asset or lease liability related to leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, and elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all leases. See Note 10, "Leases" for additional disclosure.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The ASU affects any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income,” and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The Company has evaluated ASU 2018-02 and has decided not to make the election to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2019


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments,” which replaces the current incurred loss impairment model with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Under the new methodology, entities will be required to measure expected credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. Adoption of this guidance is required for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of this standard.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which changes the requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosures. Adoption of this guidance is required for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. 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 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 are 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; certain non-cash and/or non-operating items; Other components of pension income and other postretirement benefits expense, net; and interest expense.

Results by business segment were as follows:

NOTE 5 — Acquisitions

On February 1, 2018, the Company acquired Canton Drop Forge (“CDF”) for $35.6 million in cash for its Engineered Products segment.  CDF manufactures forgings for high-performance applications in the global aerospace, oil and gas, and other markets.

On October 1, 2018, the Company acquired Hydrapower Dynamics Limited (“Hydrapower”) for $7.8 million in cash for its Assembly Components segment. Headquartered in Birmingham, England, Hydrapower is a manufacturer of fluid handling systems incorporating hoses, manipulated tubes and fabricated assemblies for the bus and truck, automotive, agricultural and construction end markets.

During 2018, the Company made two other acquisitions in its Supply Technologies segment totaling a cash purchase price of $3.5 million. Both acquired companies distribute products into the aerospace and defense end markets.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company finalized its valuations of the 2018 acquisitions, resulting in immaterial changes to goodwill and deferred income tax liabilities.

NOTE 8 — Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, in each period.
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.9 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 25.4%, compared to income tax expense of $5.8 million, or 36.3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2018.  The rate in the 2018 period was negatively impacted by discrete items totaling $0.9 million of expense, primarily for one-time charges related to enactment of the TCJA.

NOTE 10 — Leases

We lease manufacturing facilities, warehouse space, office space, machinery and equipment, information technology equipment and vehicles under operating leases. We also lease one building and machinery and equipment under finance leases. For operating leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the operating right-of-use asset and related lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In certain real estate leases, we have options to renew lease terms, generally at our sole discretion. We evaluate renewal options at the lease commencement date to determine if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option on the basis of economic factors.

The discount rate implicit in our operating leases is generally not determinable, and therefore the Company determines the discount rate for each lease based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated based on lease term, currency and collateral adjustments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company obtained right-of-use assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities of $2.2 million.

NOTE 12 — Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation Settlement

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.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 3.5%, to $420.1 million in the first three months of 2019, compared to $405.7 million in the same period in 2018, due primarily to a full three months of sales for Canton Drop Forge (“CDF”), which was acquired on February 1, 2018, and sales from the October 2018 acquisition of Hydrapower Dynamics Limited (“Hydrapower”). Also, net sales were higher in the 2019 period due to increased demand in our Supply Technologies and Engineered Products segments, which together more than offset lower sales in our Assembly Components segment.

The factors explaining the changes in segment net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the corresponding 2018 period are contained in the “Segment Results” section below.

Cost of Sales & Gross Profit

Cost of sales increased to $354.8 million in the first three months of 2019, compared to $340.6 million in the same period in 2018. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in net sales during the 2019 period compared to the same period in 2018.

Gross margin was comparable year-over-year at 15.5% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 16.0% in the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease was due primarily to $1.4 million of non-recurring costs related to plant closure

19


and consolidation, unfavorable sales mix and continuing start-up costs related to new facilities in China and Mexico, all in our Assembly Components segment.
 
SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses decreased to $42.8 million in the first three months of 2019, compared to $43.0 million in the same period in 2018. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 10.2% in the 2019 period compared to 10.6% in the 2018 period. This improvement was due primarily to relatively comparable SG&A expenses over a higher sales base.

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

Other components of pension income and OPEB expense, net was $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $2.3 million in the corresponding period in 2018. This decrease in the 2019 period relates to the recognition of higher net actuarial losses in 2019 compared to the prior-year period, driven by lower returns on plan assets in 2018 to be amortized over future periods starting in 2019.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $8.4 million in 2018. The lower expense in 2019 was driven by debt repayments during the second half of 2018, which lowered outstanding debt balances, partially offset by slightly higher interest rates on our revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the 2018 period.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.9 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 25.4%, compared to income tax expense of $5.8 million, or 36.3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The rate in the 2018 period was negatively impacted by discrete items totaling $0.9 million of expense, primarily for one-time charges related to enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”).


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. Segment operating income reconciles to consolidated income before income taxes by deducting corporate costs; certain non-cash and/or non-operating items; Other components of pension income and other postretirement benefits expense, net; and interest expense.

Net sales increased 2.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the 2018 period due primarily to higher customer demand in certain end markets, including the Company’s truck and truck-related market, which was up 37% year-over-year, and the Company’s aerospace and defense market, which was up 21% year-over-year. These increases were partially offset by lower customer demand in the Company’s semiconductor market, which was down 28% year-over-year.

Segment operating income increased by $0.6 million due to the favorable impact of higher sales in the 2019 period compared to the same period a year ago. Segment operating income margin was up 10 basis points in the 2019 period compared to a year ago, driven by favorable sales mix and the benefit of profit flow-through from the higher sales.

Three months ended March 31:

Net sales decreased 4.9% in the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period due primarily to lower sales volumes in our fuel products line, caused by end-of-life programs. This decrease was partially offset by sales growth of 5% on our aluminum products business due to new programs, and sales from the October 2018 acquisition of Hydrapower.
  
Segment operating income in the 2019 period decreased by $4.3 million, and segment operating income margin decreased to 6.0% from 8.7% in the corresponding period of 2018.  These decreases were due primarily to the lower sales volumes noted above, $1.4 million of non-recurring costs related to the closure of two facilities, sales mix and costs related to new facilities in China and Mexico. As a result of the reduced sales volumes in this segment, during the first quarter of 2019, the Company initiated several cost reduction actions to improve profitability, including the closure and consolidation of two manufacturing facilities.

Three months ended March 31:

Net sales were 17.2% higher in the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period. The growth was due to organic growth driven by increased customer demand for our induction heating, pipe threading and forged steel and machined products, and a full quarter of sales from the acquisition of CDF.

Segment operating income in the 2019 period increased by $2.4 million and segment operating income margin improved by 130 basis points compared to the corresponding 2018 period. These increases were driven by the profit flow-through from the higher sales in the 2019 quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago, and the income from CDF.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased from the comparable period in the prior year, as higher profitability in 2019 was more than offset by higher working capital in the first three months of 2019.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and were primarily to fund growth and maintain operations. In the comparable period of 2018, we had $8.9 million of capital expenditures and completed the acquisition of CDF for $36.7 million in cash.

Financing Activities

During the first three months of 2019, we made net debt repayments of $1.4 million. In the comparable period of 2018, we had net debt borrowings of $46.2 million, primarily to fund the CDF acquisition and higher working capital levels.

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 9 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 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 shares.

As of March 31, 2019, we had $166.6 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, approximately $205.0 million of unused borrowing availability, and cash and cash equivalents of $47.5 million.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries of $39.8 million at March 31, 2019 and $46.2 million at December 31, 2018. 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.


22


In connection with the enactment of the TCJA, the Company has recorded a transition tax related to previously-unremitted earnings. Notwithstanding the U.S. taxation of these amounts, we intend to continue to invest all of these earnings, as well as our capital in these subsidiaries, indefinitely outside of the U.S. and do not expect to incur any significant additional taxes related to such amounts.

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 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.

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 $19.1 million were borrowed under the Lease Agreement to acquire machinery and equipment as of March 31, 2019.

Covenants

The future availability of bank borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement is based on our ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the debt service ratio covenant could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings.

Our debt service coverage ratio must be greater than 1.0 and not less than 1.15 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters. At March 31, 2019, our debt service coverage ratio was 1.9; therefore, we were in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant in the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement. The debt service coverage ratio is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter based on the following ratio: (1) the most recently ended four fiscal quarters of consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, minus cash taxes paid, minus unfunded capital expenditures, plus cash tax refunds; to (2) consolidated debt charges, which are consolidated cash interest expense, plus scheduled principal payments on indebtedness, plus scheduled reductions in our term debt as defined in the Credit Agreement.

We were also in compliance with the other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2019. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2019, declines in sales volumes in the future 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, 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 of $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. In April 2019, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share. The dividend will be paid on May 29, 2019 to

23


shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2019 and will result in a cash outlay of approximately $1.6 million. Although we currently intend to pay a quarterly dividend on an ongoing basis, all future dividend declarations are at the discretion of our Board of Directors and dependent upon then-existing conditions, including our operating results and financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

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, 2018, both contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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: 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; 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; 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 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, 2018. 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


24


We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2019, 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 $0.4 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

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 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.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Except as set forth below, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we implemented a new lease accounting system and related processes in response to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," effective January 1, 2019. This adoption materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

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 March 31, 2019:

We were a co-defendant in approximately 87 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 190 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 three asbestos cases, involving 19 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages against named defendants. In each of the three 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.

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.
