Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results

  • EPS of $0.02 for Q2 2022 and $0.11 for 2022 YTD
  • Backlog up 19% YTD and 7% sequentially with record levels in Air & Liquid Processing

Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) (the “Corporation” or “Ampco-Pittsburgh”) reported net sales of $102.6 million and $197.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $92.4 million and $179.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to higher sales in the Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment driven by higher pricing, including surcharges, and a higher volume of shipments of forged engineered products to the steel distribution and oil and gas markets.

Net income was $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and $2.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended June 20, 2022, respectively. This compares to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, and $1.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

(Loss) income from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was $(0.3) million and $0.9 million, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease primarily reflects the impacts of higher operating costs in excess of recovery from pricing surcharges in the Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment and a $0.7 million refund of excess COVID-19 subsidies received in 2020.

Commenting on the quarter, Ampco-Pittsburgh’s CEO, Brett McBrayer, said, “Although we again recorded positive net earnings this quarter, the product surcharges in our Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment continued to lag the continued upward pressure on operating costs. Despite the continuation of certain supply chain issues impacting lead times on raw materials and customer delivery acceptance, the Air & Liquid Processing segment reported higher sales and operating income for the second quarter compared to prior year. We have recently seen commodity prices begin to decline, which will help us in cost recovery, and our order backlog continues to grow, with record-setting order intake in the Air & Liquid segment.”

Investment-related income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, declined in comparison to the prior year, which included a dividend of $1.0 million from one of the Corporation’s Chinese joint ventures. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, increased in comparison to the same periods of the prior year based on higher average borrowings under the revolving credit facility in support of working capital growth. Other – net improved for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the prior-year periods primarily due to higher gains on foreign exchange, partially offset by unrealized losses on Rabbi Trust investments.

The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, included expenses totaling $0.7 million, or $0.04 per common share, for the revaluation of certain deferred income tax liabilities for a future tax rate change enacted in the U.K. and for the restructuring of a foreign sales office.

Segment Results

Forged and Cast Engineered Products

Sales for the Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, improved from the same periods of the prior year period primarily due to higher pricing and variable-index surcharges passed through to customers as a result of higher raw material, energy and transportation costs, and higher shipments of forged engineered products as a result of increased demand from the steel distribution and oil and gas markets. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, declined when compared to the same periods of the prior year primarily due to under-recovery of operating cost inflation in pricing surcharges and a reserve recorded in the current quarter for the refund of excess COVID-19 subsidies.

Air and Liquid Processing

Sales for the Air and Liquid Processing segment for the three months ended June 30, 2022, improved compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to higher sales of heat exchange coils but declined for the six months ended June 30, 2022, when compared to the same period of the prior year due to supply chain issues impacting delivery timing of shipments, primarily for centrifugal pumps. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, improved compared to the prior year primarily due to improved mix and lower employee-related costs, including the impact of an employee benefit change.
