Park-Ohio Reports Record Revenue and Profits in Full Year 2005

     CLEVELAND, OHIO, March 14, 2006 — Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:PKOH) today announced results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.

FULL YEAR EARNINGS

     Park-Ohio reported record net income of $30.8 million or $2.70 per share dilutive for 2005, compared to net income of $14.2 million or $1.27 per share dilutive for 2004. For 2005, Park-Ohio reported net income as adjusted^(A) of $25.3 million or $2.22 per share dilutive, a 25% increase on 2004 net income as adjusted^(A) of $20.2 million or $1.80 per share dilutive. Federal income taxes were not expensed in 2005 or 2004, due to the Company’s tax valuation allowance. If full federal income taxes had been recorded, Park-Ohio would have recorded 2005 net income as adjusted fully-taxed^(B)of approximately $17.0 million or $1.49 per share dilutive, compared to net income as adjusted fully-taxed^(B)of $10.6 million or $.95 per share dilutive in 2004 (refer to Table 1, below).

FULL YEAR REVENUE

     Park-Ohio reported net sales of $932.9 million for 2005, a 15% increase on sales of $808.7 million for 2004.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

     Park-Ohio reported net income of $12.0 million or $1.05 per share dilutive for fourth quarter 2005, compared to a net loss of ($2.3) million for the same quarter of 2004. For fourth quarter 2005, Park-Ohio reported net income as adjusted^(A) of $6.4 million or $.56 per share dilutive, a 73% increase on net income as adjusted^(A) of $3.7 million or $.33 per share dilutive for the same quarter of 2004. Park-Ohio reported net sales of $241.0 million for fourth quarter 2005, a 12% increase on sales of $214.6 million for the same quarter of 2004.

     Edward F. Crawford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our increased revenues and net income in 2005 were reflective of a strong economic atmosphere combined with historical operating efficiencies. We expect our results to continue improving as we expand our global presence. In 2006, we expect to generate approximately 10% sales growth and 10-15% growth in earnings, for a 2006 fully-taxed earnings per share of $1.65 to $1.75, compared to as adjusted fully-taxed 2005 earnings per share of $1.49.”

     In fourth quarter 2005, the Company reversed $7.3 million of its domestic deferred tax asset valuation allowance, increasing net income. In 2006, the Company will begin recording a quarterly provision for federal income taxes, which is expected to result in a total effective income tax rate of approximately 40%. Park-Ohio’s significant net operating loss carry-forward should preclude the payment of cash federal income taxes in 2006 and substantially reduce cash payments in 2007. In fourth quarter 2006, if a portion or all of its remaining deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized, the Company will reverse into income the appropriate portion of its remaining tax valuation allowance of approximately $5.0 million.

The Company presents fully-taxed EPS to facilitate comparison between periods because the Company will begin recording provisions for income taxes in 2006.

(1)	As in the fourth quarter, the Company reversed $7.3 million of its $12.3 million year-end 2005 domestic deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Based on strong recent and projected earnings, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that this portion of the deferred tax asset will be realized. The tax valuation allowance reversal resulted in an increase to net income for the quarter. In 2006, the Company will begin recording a quarterly provision for federal income taxes, which is expected to result in a total effective income tax rate of approximately 40%. Park-Ohio’s significant net operating loss carry-forward should preclude the payment of cash federal income taxes in 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company will reassess the remaining tax valuation allowance. If it is determined that a portion or all of the remaining deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized, then the appropriate portion will be reversed into income at that time.
(2)	These non-cash charges recorded in 2005 reflect additional restructuring and asset impairment charges associated with executing previously announced restructuring actions in the Aluminum and Manufactured Products segments. In 2005, $.8 million of inventory impairment was included in Cost of Products Sold. The remaining $1.0 million is reflected in the Restructuring and Impairment Charges line of the Condensed Income Statements, attached.
(3)	In November 2004, the Company sold $210.0 million of 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes maturing in November 2014, and used the net proceeds to redeem its outstanding 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes maturing in 2007. Debt extinguishment costs of approximately $6.0 million were expensed in fourth quarter 2004. These costs primarily related to premiums and other transaction costs associated with the tender and early redemption of the 9.25% notes and the writeoff of deferred financing costs associated with those notes.
