Ampco-Pittsburgh Recent Performance and 2016 Challenges

23

slide-24
SLIDE 24

24

Ampco’s financial performance has deteriorated in recent years primarily due to UES performance

 Global steel market depressed since 2011  UES sales, margins, and profits have declined as customers

reduced production and costs

 Air and Liquid Processing profitable, consistent performer,

but lacks growth

Strategies to Improve Ampco Performance

27

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Strategies to Improve Performance are in Process

28

 Diversify UES into open die market (in addition to rolls and

frac blocks)

 Bifurcate roll pricing model: commodity vs. high-performance  Launch new products (rolls and open die)  Pricing strategy  Increase plant efficiency, utilization, and cost reductions  Replace Aerofin fossil fuel market lost sales

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Reasons For UES Diversification

 Cyclicality of steel and aluminum industries drove

decision to strategically diversify the company

 Lack of market size growth  Manufacturing requirements for open die forge market

are strong match for our manufacturing assets

 Four year successful record in penetrating the oil field

services industry

Strategies to Diversify UES Product Portfolio for Growth

32

 Utilize flexible manufacturing assets to diversify and

  • ffset roll/steel industry cyclicality

 Capitalize on opportunity to diversify into broader

markets beyond oil field services in open die industry

 Optimize ASW/UES “go to market” strategy

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Reasons to Expect Improved Performance Beginning in 2017

34

 Steel industry increased profitability (tariffs, pricing)  Åkers acquisition synergy impact  Forged and cast roll product price increases  Low cost plants acquired for non-differentiated rolls  Avonmore roll plant idling (April 2017) – utilization up  Miscellaneous cost and efficiency manufacturing

improvements

 Volume increases for cast and forged rolls  Industry diversification into open die markets  Renewed activity in oil field services industry

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Short-term Focus

35

 Drive price  Reduce plant costs and increase efficiency  Gain profitability in 2017  Strengthen engineering and manufacturing

capabilities

 Replace fossil fuel power generation market for

heat exchangers (Aerofin)

 Develop strategy and implement for open die

market
