CLEVELAND, OHIO -
Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH) today announced its results for the first quarter of 2022.
Matthew V. Crawford, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, "Despite the challenging environment, our business showed strong revenue growth across almost all the product and business portfolio, which we expect to continue throughout 2022. Additionally, we stabilized margins due to ongoing efforts to address pricing and our initiatives to reduce operating costs and overheads across the business. We expect additional margin improvements as we leverage the ongoing work of our entire team. Thank you to all our ParkOhio associates during these unusual times."
FIRST QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Net sales were $418.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 13% sequentially from $369.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and up 16% from $359.6 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders was $6.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss in the fourth quarter of 2021 of $17.8 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, and net income of $5.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021. Results in the 2022 period included customer pricing adjustments related to 2021, which favorably impacted our EPS by $0.27 per diluted share.
On an adjusted basis, net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders in the first quarter of 2022 was $0.73 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.08 in the fourth quarter of 2021 and net income of $0.53 in the first quarter of 2021. Our net income in the first quarter of 2022 benefited from various tax credits totaling $4.1 million, which positively impacted our EPS by $0.34 per diluted share. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of net income to adjusted earnings.
FIRST QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS
In Supply Technologies, net sales were at an all-time high of $168.8 million, up 10% sequentially and 7% compared to the first quarter of 2021. The increases from the prior year periods were driven by strong customer demand in the majority of our end markets, with the biggest increases in semiconductor, civilian aerospace, industrial and agricultural equipment and heavy-duty truck. Average daily sales in our supply chain management business increased 6% sequentially and 5% year-over-year. Segment operating income of $12.0 million increased by $2.4 million sequentially compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and was comparable to operating income in the first quarter of 2021. Operating margins were 7.1% in the first quarter of 2022, up 80 basis points sequentially, driven by higher sales levels and the favorable impact of pricing initiatives. We expect continued strong demand from our diverse end markets, although the challenges throughout the supply chain are expected to persist throughout the year.
In Assembly Components, net sales were at an all-time high of $158.6 million, up more than 25% both sequentially and year-over-year compared to the 2021 first quarter. This sales increase was driven by increased product demand on fuel-related products launched in 2021 and increased net price realization resulting from the pass-through of higher aluminum and rubber compound prices. Segment operating income was $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, up significantly from a loss of $17.8 million sequentially from last quarter. The loss in the 2021 fourth quarter was driven by the micro-chip shortage, expenses related to plant closure and consolidation, commodity inflation, higher labor costs and production inefficiencies caused primarily by demand fluctuations. The improvement in profitability in the 2022 first quarter compared to 2021 fourth quarter was due to the increased net price realization, the profit flow-through from higher volumes and operational improvements in the current quarter, including improved profitability resulting from ongoing plant consolidation activities. We expect automotive production and demand for our products to continue to strengthen throughout the year, subject to supply chain constraints which are expected to continue to cause volatility in demand.
In Engineered Products, net sales were $91.0 million in the 2022 first quarter compared to $90.3 million in last year's fourth quarter and $75.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year sales increase of 20% was driven by strengthening sales in both our capital equipment business and our forged and machined products business. During the quarter, our capital equipment business achieved its highest-ever bookings level, in excess of $70 million. In our forged and machined products business, first quarter 2022 sales were up 30% compared to a year ago and reached their highest level since the start of the pandemic in the first quarter of 2020. Operating income in the 2022 first quarter was $1.8 million, compared to a loss of $10.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and a loss of $1.3 million in the first quarter a year ago. The loss in the fourth quarter of 2021 included $10.8 million of charges related to plant closure and consolidation activities. The profitability improvement in the 2022 first quarter both sequentially and year-over-year was driven by the higher sales levels, benefits of cost-reduction actions, and implemented operational improvements. We expect volumes to continue to improve throughout the remainder of 2022, based on the higher bookings in our capital equipment business and continuing recovery of key end markets in our forged and machined products business, including oil and gas, rail, and aerospace.
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
During the first quarter of 2022, EBITDA, as defined was $27.6 million compared to $27.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, as defined. Operating cash flow during the 2022 quarter was a use of $10.1 million, due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $45 million driven by the 13% increase in sales in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2022, our total liquidity was $225 million, which included cash on-hand of $62 million and $163 million of unused borrowing availability under our credit agreements, which included $45 million of suppressed availability.
UPDATED 2022 OUTLOOK
For the full year 2022, we continue to expect revenues to be at record levels, with revenue growth of approximately 15% year-over-year driven by strong customer demand in each segment. We also continue to expect significant improvement in profitability for the full year 2022 compared to 2021, and positive adjusted net income in each quarter in 2022. However, given continuing macroeconomic headwinds from demand volatility and supply chain constraints, we will not provide further guidance at this time.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

Adjusted earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company is providing in this press release. Adjusted earnings (loss) is net income (loss) calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), adjusted for special items. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because management uses adjusted earnings (loss) to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis over multiple periods because they remove the impact of certain significant non-cash credits or charges and certain infrequent items impacting net income (loss). Adjusted earnings (loss) is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted earnings (loss) herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following tables reconciles net income (loss) to adjusted earnings (loss):
