Crawford, ParkOhio president, chairman, and CEO. “While adjusted earnings were below our expectations, our actions specifically around pricing and restructuring have continued to show traction, and we expect improved results, especially in ACG, during the second half of the year. We are pleased to have closed two recent acquisitions. Both are highly strategic and will be immediately accretive to our margins and our consolidated earnings.”
