Forward Guidance

Park-Ohio expects revenues from continuing operations to increase 10-15% year-over-year and anticipates improvement in adjusted operating income, EBITDA, free cash flow, and adjusted EPS for 2023. The UAW strike is expected to negatively impact fourth quarter revenues by $25 to $30 million per month.

Positive Outlook

  • Revenues from continuing operations expected to increase 10-15% year-over-year.
  • Expect year-over-year improvement in adjusted operating income.
  • EBITDA is expected to improve year-over-year.
  • Free cash flow is projected to increase in 2023.
  • Adjusted EPS is also expected to improve in 2023.

Challenges Ahead

  • Fourth quarter revenues will be negatively impacted by the UAW strike.
  • OEM plants affected by the strike will reduce monthly revenue by approximately $25 to $30 million.
  • The full impact of the strike on fourth quarter revenues is difficult to estimate due to production ramp-up uncertainties.
  • UAW strike affects customers across Assembly Components and Supply Technologies segments.
  • Backlogs remain above historical levels, and demand is stable across most end markets with the notable exception of customers affected by UAW strikes, which will provide a headwind during the fourth quarter.
