In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and it continues to spread throughout the United States and other countries acrossaround the world. To limit the spread of COVID-19, governments have taken various actions, including the issuance of stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines, causing some businesses to suspend operations and a reduction in demand for many products from direct or ultimate customers. Accordingly, businesses have adjusted, reduced or suspended operating activities.

Net sales increased 99.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the 2020 period due primarily to the shut-down of North American automotive production in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Segment operating loss in the 2021 period improved by $8.5 million, and segment operating loss margin improved significantly compared to the corresponding period of 2020. These increases were due primarily to higher profit flow-through on the higher sales levels. The loss in the 2021 period was driven by the negative impacts of the global semiconductor chip shortage; higher raw material costs; operational inefficiencies driven by labor shortages, including higher temporary labor costs; charges of $0.8 million related to plant closure and consolidation activities; and new program start-up and launch costs. The loss in the 2020 period was driven by lower sales as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating Activities
Cash generated by operating activities in the 20202021 period was higherlower than in the prior year period as the Company reduceddriven by higher working capital usage in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period a year ago. In the 2021 period, working capital usage was $40.2 million, compared to working capital reduction in the 2020 period of $6.3 million. Higher inventories were the primary driver of our higher working capital in 2021, due to both higher material costs and increased inventory levels in certain businesses and locations in response to current market conditions, which more thanglobal supply chain constraints, various facility closures and consolidations, and certain new program launches. Working capital usage was partially offset by a lower net loss in the low profitability in 2020.2021 period compared to the 2020 period.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures were $9.4$14.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and were primarily to provide increased capacity for future growth in our Assembly Components segment and to maintain existing operations. InDuring the first six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company also acquired NYK Component Solutions Limited (“NYK”) for $5.4 million, net of 2019, we had $20.7cash acquired. Capital expenditures of $9.4 million of capital expenditures. The lower capital expenditures in the 2020 period reflect our decision to reducewere lower than in the 2021 period, as we aggressively managed capital spending in 2020 in response to current market conditions and to enhance our liquidity. In the first six months of 2020, we had proceeds of $1.4 million from the sale of an asset.pandemic.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, we had net borrowing on our revolving credit and other facilitiesdebt borrowings of $49.0 million compared to $3.3 million in the 2020 period. The increased borrowings in the current year period were used to fund our higher working capital expenditureslevels, our higher capital level, and our common share repurchases. We also repaid the remaining balanceacquisition of $4.5 million on our loan with Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.NYK. In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2019,2021, we had net debt repayments of $1.4 million. We paid dividendsmade two cash dividend payments to shareholders oftotaling $3.1 million, whereas in the 2020 period, we only made one cash dividend payment totaling $1.6 million, inas the first six months of 2020 and $3.2 million in in the first six months of 2019, as wedividend was temporarily suspended our quarterly cash dividend in the second quarter of 2020 in response to preserve liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the 2020 period, the Company repurchased treasury shares totaling $5.3 million.
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 910 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 common shares.
As of June 30, 2020,2021, we had total liquidity of $196.9$221.4 million, which included $145.0$166.1 million of unused borrowing availability and cash and cash equivalents of $51.9$55.3 million. We also suspended our quarterly cash dividend to further enhance our liquidity.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries of $39.0$44.2 million at June 30, 20202021 and $45.4$44.7 million at December 31, 2019.2020. 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.
The Company has two components to its assertion regarding reinvestment of foreign earnings outside of the United States. First, for all foreign subsidiaries except RB&W Corporation of Canada (“RB&W”), all earnings are permanently reinvested outside of the United States. Second, for RB&W, dividend distributions may be made, but only to the extent of current earnings in excess of cash required to fund its business operations; all accumulated earnings are permanently reinvested.
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 availability under 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. In 2019, Park-Ohio entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement, extending the maturity of the Credit Agreement to November 26, 2024.
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 $16.7$15.4 million were borrowed under the Lease Agreement to acquire machinery and equipment as of June 30, 2020.2021.
Covenants
The future availability of bank borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement is based on (1) our calculated availability under the Credit Agreement and (2) if such calculated availability decreases below $46.875 million, our ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant. If our calculated availability is less than $46.875 million, our debt service coverage ratio must be greater than 1.0. At June 30, 2020,2021, our calculated availability under the Credit Agreement was $125.7$143.6 million; therefore, the debt service ratio covenant did not apply.
Failure to maintain calculated availability of at least $46.875 million and meet the debt service ratio covenant could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings. Our debt service coverage ratio could be materially impacted by negative economic trends, including the negative trends caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. To make certain permitted payments as defined under the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to acquisitions and dividends, we must
meet defined availability thresholds ranging from $37.5 million to $46.875 million, and a defined debt service coverage ratio of 1.15.
WeAs our calculated availability under the Credit Agreement was above $46.875 million, we were also in compliance with the other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2020.2021. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2020,2021, declines in sales volumes in the future, including furtherany declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, 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, including the decline caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 to shareholders of $1.6$3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. To preserve liquidity in response to2021. On July 23, 2021, the pandemic, the Company has suspended payingCompany's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share. The dividend will be paid on August 20, 2021 to our common shareholders.shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 6, 2021 and will result in a cash outlay of approximately $1.6 million.
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, 2019,2020, both contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. 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.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk |
We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2020,2021, 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 $0.9$1.0 million during the six-monthsix-month period ended June 30, 2020.2021.
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 Condensed 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.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2020,2021, 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.
Part II. Other Information
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 June 30, 2020:2021:
We were a co-defendant in approximately 118125 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 220229 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 threefour asbestos cases, involving 1920 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages against named defendants. In each of the threefour 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. In the fourth case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory and punitive damages, each in the amount of $10.0 million, for ten separate causes 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.
In addition toThere have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020. Investors should not interpret the Company has also identified the following:
The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted and could in the future materially and adversely affect our business.
The novel straindisclosure of the coronavirus identified in China in late 2019 and now affecting the global community has impacted and is expectedany risk factor to continue to impact our operations, and the full nature and extent of the impact is highly uncertain and may be beyond our control. Among other things, uncertainties relating to COVID-19 include the duration of the outbreak, the severity of the virus, and the actions, or perception of actionsimply that may be taken, to contain or treat its impact, by governments and others, including declarations of states of emergency, business closures, manufacturing restrictions and a prolonged period of travel, commercial and/or other similar restrictions and limitations.
As a result of COVID-19 and the measures implemented that are designed to contain its spread, our customers have been and could continue to be negatively impacted as a result of disruption in demand, which has negatively impacted our sales and had a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Similarly, as a result of COVID-19 and measures implemented that are designed to contain its spread, our suppliers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to enable the manufacture of our products according to our schedule and specifications. Because of impacts to suppliers' operations, we may need to seek alternate suppliers, which may be more expensive, may not be available or may result in delays in shipments to us and subsequently to our customers, each of which would affect our results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted our internal operations, including by heightening the risk that a significant portion of our workforce will suffer illness or otherwisehas not be permitted or be unable to work and exposing us to cyber and other risks associated with a large number of our employees working remotely. Certain of our facilities have experienced temporary work disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we cannot predict whether these will continue or our facilities will experience more significant or frequent disruptions in the future. Furthermore, we may need to reduce our workforce as a result of declines in our business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and any such reduction would cause us to incur costs. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we would be able to rehire our workforce in the event our business experiences a subsequent recovery.already materialized.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and its duration and ultimate disruption to our customers and to our supply chain, and related financial impact to us, cannot be estimated at this time. Should such disruption continue for an extended period of time, the impact could have a more severe adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, weaker economic conditions generally could result in impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets, or our ability to raise additional capital, if needed.
