• Net income attributable to Ampco-Pittsburgh of $1.1 million in Q1 2025, a $3.8 million year-over-year increase
• Earnings per common share of $0.06, up $0.20 versus prior year
• Adjusted EBITDA of $8.8 million in Q1 2025 compared to $5.1 million in Q1 2024

CARNEGIE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2025-- Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) reported net sales of $104.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $110.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Both the Forged and Cast Engineered Products (“FCEP”) segment and the Air and Liquid Processing (“ALP”) segment had lower sales year-over-year.

Despite lower sales, the Corporation reported income from operations of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which increased substantially compared to income from operations of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA, calculated as net income (loss) excluding interest expense, other income – net, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, and stock based compensation expense was $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period of the prior year, FCEP’s operating income improved as a result of higher pricing, manufacturing efficiencies and improved machine uptime and ALP’s operating income improved on favorable mix of products sold in 2025 versus prior year. Corporate costs were consistent year-over year.

Commenting on the quarter, Ampco-Pittsburgh’s CEO, Brett McBrayer, said, “We experienced a very positive start to the year as both segments contributed to significant improvement in adjusted EBITDA versus the prior year. The new equipment in our U.S. forged business continues to produce positive results. Air and Liquid’s Q1 order intake was at a record high as it continues to see market strength in the nuclear, military, and pharmaceutical markets. We believe we will experience some near-term impacts as markets and supply chains react to the recent tariffs. Our intent is to pass any impact to our customers to protect margins. In addition, we are nearing the end of our collective consultation process at our UK facility and expect a path forward that will eliminate much of the losses for this business.”

Interest expense of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, is comparable to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Other income – net of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, declined modestly from the three months ended March 31, 2024. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreased $0.4 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by the benefit of a reduced income tax rate for one of the Corporation's foreign tax-paying jurisdictions.

Net income of $1.1 million, or $0.06 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compares to net loss of $(2.7) million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are statements that are, or could be, deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Act and words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate, “project,” “target,” “goal,” “forecast” and other terms of similar meaning that indicate future events and trends are also generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, are not guarantees of future performance or expectations, and involve risks and uncertainties. For us, these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: inability to maintain adequate liquidity to meet our operating cash flow requirements, repay maturing debt and meet other financial obligations; economic downturns, cyclical demand for our products and insufficient demand for our products; excess global capacity in the steel industry; inability to successfully restructure our operations and/or invest in operations that will yield the best long-term value to our shareholders; liability of our subsidiaries for claims alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos-containing components historically used in certain products of our subsidiaries; inability to obtain necessary capital or financing on satisfactory terms to acquire capital expenditures that may be necessary to support our growth strategy;inoperability of certain equipment on which we rely; increases in commodity prices or insufficient hedging against increases in commodity prices, reductions in electricity and natural gas supply or shortages of key production materials for us or our customers; inability to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE American Exchange; potential attacks on information technology infrastructure and other cyber-based business disruptions; fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies; changes in the existing regulatory environment; consequences of pandemics and geopolitical conflicts; work stoppage or another industrial action on the part of any of our unions; failure to maintain an effective system of internal control; changes in the global economic environment, inflation, elevated interest rates, recessions or prolonged periods of slow economic growth, and global instability and actual and threatened geopolitical conflict; and those discussed more fully elsewhere in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in Part I of the Corporation’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II of the latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Corporation presents non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) excluding interest expense, other income - net, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation along with significant charges or credits that are one-time charges or credits, unrelated to the Corporation’s ongoing results of operations, or beyond its control. Non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations is calculated as income (loss) from operations excluding depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation along with significant charges or credits that are one-time charges or credits, unrelated to the segment’s ongoing results of operations, or beyond its control. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Beginning in 2025, the Corporation began presenting non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA along with non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations. These measures are key measures used by the Corporation's management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate the operating performance of the Corporation and its segments. While these non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, the Corporation's management and Board of Directors believe these non-GAAP measures enhance comparability to companies in its stated industry peer group.

The Corporation believes these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that otherwise could be masked by the effect of the items it excludes from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income (loss) from operations. The Corporation also believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management, shareholders and investors, and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by the Corporation’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations related to the use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, rather than net income (loss), or non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations, rather than income (loss) from operations, which are the nearest GAAP equivalents.
