Edward F. Crawford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with the Company’s record operating profit in 2006. We expect the first quarter of 2007 to be sluggish because of reduced activity in the domestic auto and heavy-duty truck markets. Despite that slow start, our Company is well positioned with its diversity and global presence to generate approximately 10% sales growth and 25% earnings growth this year, producing EBIT of $72 to $78 million and diluted earnings per share of $2.10 to $2.35 in 2007.”

The Company presents fully-taxed net income and EPS reflecting equalized tax rates to facilitate comparison between periods.
(1) | | Net Income in fourth quarter 2006 and 2005 increased by the reversal $5.0 and $7.3 million, respectively, of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance, substantially eliminating this allowance. Based on strong recent and projected earnings, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset will be realized. The tax valuation allowance reversal resulted in an increase to net income for the fourth quarter of each year. |
(2) | | In 2006, following the reversal of a portion of its deferred tax valuation allowance, the Company began recording a quarterly provision for federal income taxes. For 2006, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 30% excluding the tax valuation allowance reversal, compared to 11% and 19% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Park-Ohio’s net operating loss carry-forward precluded the payment of cash federal income taxes in 2006 and should substantially reduce cash payments in 2007. |
