ParkOhio Reports Stable Third Quarter 2025 Results, Improved Free Cash Flow and Strong Backlog

Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:PKOH) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"Our third quarter results reflected solid execution and good cash flow during a mixed but stable industrial environment," said Matthew V. Crawford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Revenue and EBITDA were consistent sequentially, margin remained resilient, and cash flow continues to improve meaningfully in the back half of the year. Demand trends from several of our end markets — particularly electrical, semiconductor, heavy-duty truck and defense — remain encouraging. New business launches and backlog combined with record bookings in Engineered Products provide good visibility into 2026. While interest expense from our refinancing modestly impacted earnings, this action strengthened our balance sheet and will help us to complete our transformation into a higher growth, higher margin more predictable company."

Third-Quarter 2025 Highlights

• Revenue: $399 million, flat sequentially; down 5% year-over-year.
• EBITDA (as defined): $34 million; EBITDA margin 8.6%.
• GAAP EPS: $0.39 from continuing operations; Adjusted EPS: $0.65.
• Operating cash flow: $17 million; Free cash flow: $7 million – a $28 million sequential improvement.
• Backlog: $185 million, up 28% from year-end 2024, reflecting strength in defense, infrastructure, and electrification demand.

Segment Highlights

• Supply Technologies – Revenue $186 million; adjusted margins improved sequentially to 9.9% on cost discipline and pricing. Growth in electrical, semiconductor, and heavy-truck markets offset weaker industrial and consumer electronics demand.
• Assembly Components – Revenue $97 million; stable volumes with over $50 million of new business launching through 2026.
• Engineered Products – Revenue $116 million; backlog totaling $185 million (+28% YTD) with strength in defense, infrastructure, and electrical-steel markets.

Full-Year 2025 Outlook

• Net Sales: $1.600 billion to $1.620 billion
• Adjusted EPS: $2.70 to $2.90 per diluted share
• Free Cash Flow: $10 to $20 million in FY2025, including $45 to $55 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 as working capital normalizes

"Our outlook for the remainder of 2025 is stable and will be highlighted by meaningful cash generation to reduce debt," Crawford added.

Long-Term Positioning

ParkOhio continues to benefit from structural growth drivers including manufacturing reshoring, infrastructure and defense spending, and electrification. Operational efficiencies and disciplined capital management support the company's focus on margin expansion and stronger free-cash-flow generation into 2026.
