CARNEGIE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.

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.
