CLEVELAND, OHIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:PKOH) today announced its results for the first quarter of 2020.
FIRST QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Net sales were $366.3 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to net sales of $420.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. Net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders was $1.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $11.2 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019. On an adjusted basis, net income attributable to ParkOhio common shareholders was $0.13 per diluted share in the 2020 period compared to net income of $1.01 per diluted share in the 2019 period. Results in 2020 include an effective income tax rate of 81% driven by deductions and foreign tax credits that cannot be claimed in 2020 or carried forward, based on estimates of 2020 taxable income by jurisdiction. The impact of these items on our first quarter 2020 income tax expense was an increase of approximately $3.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. Please refer to the table that follows for a reconciliation of net income to adjusted earnings.
The initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic weakened demand in several of the Company’s end markets in the first quarter of 2020, primarily in the automotive, oil and gas, aerospace and defense and industrial end markets. Many of our operations were idled during the month of March and continue to be idle or significantly downsized, while operations deemed essential continue to operate under federal and state guidelines. We expect a significant reduction in demand during the second quarter of 2020, and for the full year 2020, but the extent cannot be reasonably estimated.
At March 31, 2020, we had liquidity of $236.8 million, including cash on-hand of $56.8 million and $180.0 million of unused borrowing capacity under our various banking arrangements. During the first quarter, net cash used by operating activities totaled $3.9 million, and capital expenditures were $4.9 million. We are aggressively managing working capital and expect to minimize capital spending throughout 2020 to enhance our free cash flow and preserve our strong liquidity and borrowing availability. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund our requirements during the current environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Matthew V. Crawford, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, “Despite a solid start to 2020, the severe impact of COVID-19 during mid-March significantly changed our outcome for the first quarter. Our focus very quickly became the safety of our colleagues, the liquidity of our business and an immediate effort to reduce costs. We believe we have successfully completed much of this initial phase and now look to strengthen our competitive position and preserve strategic priorities throughout what appears to be a period of slow recovery perhaps into 2021. I want to thank our ParkOhio team members for their ongoing sacrifices during these unprecedented times.”
In response to these challenging macroeconomic conditions, we initiated a series of decisive actions to reduce costs and are aggressively managing both working capital and capital spending. These actions included headcount reductions and employee furloughs affecting approximately 40% of our global employee base; salary and Board compensation reductions; discretionary spending cuts; and reducing non-critical capital expenditures. We are also temporarily suspending our quarterly cash dividend to further enhance our liquidity.
FIRST QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS
Net sales and net income in the 2020 first quarter were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected operations in all three of our business segments. Specifically, North American automotive production was significantly reduced in March; worldwide capital spending was curtailed by many customers; and other key end markets experienced low levels of production driven by the global macroeconomic downturn caused by the pandemic.
In Supply Technologies, net sales declined 15% year-over-year and totaled $141 million compared to $165 million last year. We began the year with great momentum and saw positive volume trends in many end markets and with new customers, as indicated by the increase in sales over the fourth quarter of 2019. In addition, our customer margins continued to improve as product pricing changes with customers and suppliers have been fully implemented. The decline in demand began in March in most of our end markets, most notably in the heavy-duty truck, aerospace and defense, automotive, and industrial equipment markets. This decline was partially offset by sales growth in the semiconductor and medical markets. Although many Supply Technologies end markets were not completely closed during March, demand levels were significantly affected by the downturn in the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, there have been no disruptions in our supply chains that have affected our ability to service our customers.
In Assembly Components, net sales decreased 7% to $128 million compared to $138 a year ago. The decline in sales and operating margins year-over-year began in March as the majority of our customers plants were required to be closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of our plants in North America were shut down in compliance with federal and state orders and continued to be idled during the month of April. It is unclear when and to what extent automotive production in North America will begin to start up, although we are starting to see customer order releases begin during the second half of May and steadily improve throughout the end of the second quarter. While we wait for production to ramp back up, we continue to develop new business, implement cost reductions and changes to our manufacturing processes to improve our profitability when production resumes.
In Engineered Products, net sales were down 16% year-over-year, and operating income margins decreased to 3.9%. Sales were affected by the decline in demand from certain end markets, including oil and gas, rail and other markets which declined in March resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in Asia and Europe. Order levels for new equipment decreased during the first quarter and continue to be at sluggish levels, as global capital spending resulting from the pandemic is being curtailed and deferred into future periods. Our industrial equipment businesses located in China, Italy and Spain were impacted early by the pandemic and are now back in operation at reduced production levels. Despite the decline in new order activity in the first quarter of 2020, our global aftermarket parts and services business was strong. We expect continued softness in our end markets throughout the second quarter as these markets begin to recover.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
Adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company is providing in this press release. Adjusted earnings is net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), adjusted for special items. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because management uses adjusted earnings to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis over multiple periods because they remove the impact of certain significant non-cash credits or charges and certain infrequent items impacting net income. Adjusted earnings is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted earnings herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles net income to adjusted earnings:
