NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for The Timken Company (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and notes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

On September 5, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a plan to pursue a separation of its steel business from its bearings and power transmission business through a spinoff, creating a new independent, publicly traded steel company. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to shareholders and should be completed within 12 months, subject to customary regulatory approvals, the receipt of a legal opinion regarding the tax-free nature of the transaction, the execution of intercompany agreements between the Company and the new steel company, final approval of the Company's Board of Directors and other customary matters. One time transaction costs in connection with the separation of the two companies are expected to be approximately $125 million.

Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The new accounting rules require all U.S. public companies to report the effect of items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items of net income, net of tax, either on the face of the financial statements where net income is presented or in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02. The new accounting rules expand the disclosure of other comprehensive income and had no impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. See Note 9 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for additional information on the new disclosure.
 
 
Note 3 - Acquisitions

On March 11, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Interlube Systems Ltd. (Interlube), which makes and markets automated lubrication delivery systems and related components to end market sectors including commercial vehicles, construction, mining, and heavy and general industries, for approximately $14.8 million, including cash acquired of approximately $0.3 million, that was subject to a post-closing indebtedness adjustment. Based in Plymouth, United Kingdom, Interlube employs about 90 associates and had 2012 sales of approximately $13 million. The results of Interlube are reported in the Mobile Industries segment.

On April 11, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Smith Services, Inc. (Smith Services), an electric motor repair specialist, for approximately $13.2 million. Based in Princeton, West Virginia and employing approximately 140 people, Smith Services had 2012 sales of approximately $17 million. The results for Smith Services are reported in the Process Industries segment.


5



On May 13, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Hamilton Gear Ltd., d/b/a Standard Machine (Standard Machine), which provides new gearboxes, gearbox service and repair, open gearing, large gear fabrication, machining and field technical services to end users in Canada and the western United States, for approximately $36.9 million in cash, including cash acquired of approximately $0.1 million that is subject to a post-closing indebtedness adjustment. Based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, Standard Machine employs 125 people and serves a wide variety of industrial sectors including mining, oil and gas, and pulp and paper. In 2012, Standard Machine reported sales of approximately $31 million.  The results for Standard Machine are reported in the Process Industries segment.

Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions were not significant to the Company's income before income taxes or total assets in 2013.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with approximately 55% valued by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and the remaining 45% valued by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The majority of the Company's domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO method and all of the Company's international (outside the United States) inventories are valued by the FIFO method.

An actual valuation of the inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

The LIFO reserve at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $288.9 million and $280.6 million, respectively. The Company recognized an increase in its LIFO reserve of $7.7 million and $8.3 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, compared to an increase in its LIFO reserve of $3.7 million and $12.9 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively.

Based on current expectations of inventory levels and costs, the Company expects to recognize an increase of approximately $10.3 million in its LIFO reserve for the year ended December 31, 2013. The expected increase in the LIFO reserve for 2013 reflects higher anticipated costs, especially scrap steel costs. A 1.0% increase in costs would increase the current LIFO expense estimate for 2013 by $5.9 million. A 1.0% increase in inventory quantities would have no effect on the current LIFO expense estimate for 2013.

The lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries provide for short-term borrowings up to $226.6 million. Most of these lines of credit are uncommitted. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had borrowings outstanding of $21.1 million and guarantees of $0.7 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $204.8 million.

The Company has a $200 million Amended and Restated Asset Securitization Agreement (Asset Securitization Agreement), which matures on November 30, 2015. Under the terms of the Asset Securitization Agreement, the Company sells, on an ongoing basis, certain domestic trade receivables to Timken Receivables Corporation, a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, that in turn uses the trade receivables to secure borrowings, which are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial paper in the short-term market. Borrowings under the agreement are limited by certain borrowing base calculations. Any amounts outstanding under this Asset Securitization Agreement would be reported in short-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Asset Securitization Agreement. However, certain borrowing base limitations reduced the availability of the Asset Securitization Agreement to $180.2 million at September 30, 2013. The cost of this facility, which is the commercial paper rate plus program fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company has a $500 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Senior Credit Facility), which matures on May 11, 2016. At September 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility but had letters of credit outstanding totaling $8.6 million, which reduced the availability under the Senior Credit Facility to $491.4 million. Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 2013, the Company was in full compliance with both the covenants under the Senior Credit Facility.

In 2011, the Company was notified that its variable-rate State of Ohio Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (the Bonds), maturing on June 1, 2033, had lost their tax-exempt status and would now be taxable to its bondholders. As part of the settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Company redeemed half of the balance during the third quarter of 2012 and agreed to redeem the remaining balance of $8.5 million on December 31, 2022. In addition, the IRS agreed to allow the Bonds to remain tax-exempt during the period they are outstanding.

The following discussion explains the impairment and restructuring charges recorded for the periods presented; however, it is not intended to reflect a comprehensive discussion of all amounts in the tables above.

Mobile Industries

In May 2012, the Company announced the closure of its manufacturing facility in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada (St. Thomas), which was expected to be completed in approximately one year, and was intended to consolidate bearing production at this plant with its existing U.S. operations to better align the Company's manufacturing footprint and customer base. The Company also moved customer service for the Canadian market to its offices in Toronto. The Company completed the closure of this manufacturing facility on March 31, 2013. The closure of the St. Thomas manufacturing facility displaced 190 employees. The Company expects to incur pretax costs of approximately $55 million to $65 million in connection with this closure, of which approximately $20 million to $25 million is expected to be pretax cash costs.

The Company has incurred pretax costs related to this closure of approximately $40.9 million as of September 30, 2013, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $1.5 million of severance and related benefits related to pension settlement charges of $1.5 million. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company recorded $7.8 million of severance and related benefits, including pension settlement charges of $6.7 million, related to this closure. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $6.4 million of impairment charges. During the first nine months of 2012, the Company recorded $16.8 million of severance and related benefits, including a curtailment of pension benefits of $10.7 million and impairment charges of $6.4 million. The majority of the $16.8 million charge was incurred by the Mobile Industries segment.

In March 2007, the Company announced the closure of its manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo, Brazil (Sao Paulo). The Company completed the closure of this manufacturing facility on March 31, 2010. Pretax costs associated with the closure could be as high as approximately $60 million, which includes restructuring costs and rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expenses. Mobile Industries has incurred cumulative pretax costs of approximately $58.7 million as of September 30, 2013 related to this closure. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, the Company recorded $4.2 million and $7.1 million of exit costs associated with the closure of this facility, primarily related to environmental remediation costs. The Company accrues environmental remediation costs when they are probable and estimable.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, certain non-deductible U.S. expenses primarily due to the Company's separation costs and U.S. state and local taxes. These factors were partially offset by earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%, the U.S. manufacturing deduction, the U.S. research tax credit and certain discrete tax benefits.

The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2013 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%, the U.S. manufacturing deduction, the U.S. research tax credit and certain discrete tax benefits. These factors were partially offset by losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, U.S. state and local taxes and certain non-deductible U.S. expenses primarily due to the Company's separation costs.


Note 15 - Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are valued at the redemption value. Cash and cash equivalents classified as level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy are valued based on either amortized cost or net asset value per share. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year and are valued at the amortized cost. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts.

At December 31, 2012, the Company classified cash and cash equivalents of $586.4 million as Level 1 assets. The Company has reviewed this classification and has reclassified $303.9 million of cash and cash equivalents as Level 1 assets and $282.5 million of cash and cash equivalents as Level 2 assets. In addition, the Company reclassified short-term investments classified as Level 1 assets as of December 31, 2012 to Level 2 assets.

The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparts to its financial instruments.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, trade, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, trade and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $456.8 million and $481.3 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $424.9 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The fair value of long-term fixed debt was measured using Level 2 inputs.

Note 16 - Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA)

CDSOA provides for distribution of monies collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (U.S. Customs) from antidumping cases to qualifying domestic producers where the domestic producers have continued to invest in their technology, equipment and people.

In September 2002, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that CDSOA payments are not consistent with international trade rules. In February 2006, U.S. legislation was enacted that ended CDSOA distributions for dumped imports covered by antidumping duty orders entering the United States after September 30, 2007. Instead, any such antidumping duties collected would remain with the U.S. Treasury. Several countries have objected that this U.S. legislation is not consistent with WTO rulings, and were granted retaliation rights by the WTO, typically in the form of increased tariffs on some imported goods from the United States. The European Union and Japan have been retaliating in this fashion against the operation of U.S. law.

In 2006, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) ruled, in two separate decisions, that the procedure for determining recipients eligible to receive CDSOA distributions was unconstitutional. In addition, several other court cases challenging various provisions of CDSOA were ongoing. As a result, from 2006 through 2010, U.S. Customs withheld a portion of the amounts that would otherwise have been distributed under CDSOA.

In February 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed both of the 2006 decisions of the CIT. Later in December 2009, a plaintiff petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a further appeal, but the Supreme Court declined the petition, allowing the appellate court reversals to stand. At that time, several court cases challenging various provisions of the CDSOA were still unresolved, so U.S. Customs accepted the CIT’s recommendation to continue to withhold CDSOA receipts related to 2006 through 2010 until January 2012.

U.S. Customs began distributing the withheld funds to affected domestic producers in early April 2012. In April 2012, the Company received CDSOA distributions of $112.8 million in the aggregate for amounts originally withheld from 2006 through 2010.

While some of the challenges to CDSOA have been resolved, others are still in litigation. Since there continue to be legal challenges to CDSOA, U.S. Customs has advised all affected domestic producers that it is possible that CDSOA distributions could be subject to clawback. Management of the Company believes that the likelihood of clawback is remote.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Overview

Introduction:

The Timken Company, a global industrial technology leader, applies its deep knowledge of materials, friction management and mechanical power transmission to improve the reliability and efficiency of industrial machinery and equipment all around the world. The Company engineers, manufactures and markets high-performance mechanical components and engineered steel. Timken® bearings, alloy steel bars and tubes, as well as transmissions, gearboxes, chain, and related products and services, support diversified markets worldwide through the original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket channels. The Company operates under four segments: (1) Mobile Industries; (2) Process Industries; (3) Aerospace; and (4) Steel. The following further describes these business segments:

Mobile Industries provides bearings, power transmission components, engineered chain, lubrication devices and systems, augers and related products and services to original equipment manufacturers and suppliers of agricultural, construction and mining equipment; passenger cars, light trucks, medium- and heavy-duty trucks; rail cars and locomotives. Aftermarket sales are handled through the Company's extensive network of authorized automotive and heavy truck distributors.

Process Industries supplies bearings, power transmission components, engineered chains, and related products and services to original equipment manufacturers and suppliers of power transmission, energy and heavy industrial machinery and equipment. This includes rolling mills, cement and aggregate processing equipment, paper mills, sawmills, printing presses, cranes, hoists, drawbridges, wind energy turbines, gear drives, drilling equipment, coal conveyors, coal crushers, marine equipment and food processing equipment. This segment also supports aftermarket needs through its global network of authorized industrial distributors as well as through its industrial services team, which offers end users a broad portfolio of capabilities that include bearing, gearbox and electric motor repair and services.

Aerospace provides bearings, helicopter transmission systems, rotor head assemblies, turbine engine components, gears and other precision flight-critical components for commercial and military aviation applications. It also provides aftermarket services, including repair and overhaul of engines, transmissions and fuel controls, as well as aerospace bearing repair and component reconditioning. Additionally, this segment manufactures precision bearings, complex assemblies and sensors for manufacturers of health and critical motion control equipment.

Steel produces more than 450 grades of high-performance carbon and alloy steel, sold as ingots, bars and tubes in a variety of chemistries, lengths and finishes. The segment's metallurgical expertise and unique operational capabilities drive customized solutions for the mobile, industrial and energy sectors, sold directly to original equipment manufacturers or through its authorized steel distributors. Timken® engineered steels drive value in a wide variety of end products including: oil country drill pipe, bits and collars; gears, hubs, axles, crankshafts and connecting rods; bearing races and rolling elements; and bushings, fuel injectors and wind energy shafts.


21



The Company's strategy balances corporate aspirations for sustained growth and a determination to optimize the Company's existing business portfolio, thereby generating strong earnings and cash flows. The Company pursues its strategy to create value by:

Applying its knowledge of metallurgy, friction management and mechanical power transmission to create unique solutions used in demanding applications that create value for its customers. The Company seeks to grow in attractive market sectors, with particular emphasis on those industrial markets that value the reliability and efficiency offered by the Company's products and that create significant aftermarket demand, thereby providing a lifetime of opportunity in both product sales and services.

Differentiating its businesses and its products, offering a broad array of mechanical power transmission components, high-performance steel and related solutions and services. For example, the new Technology and Test Center, opened recently in North Canton, Ohio, in collaboration with Stark State College, provides new testing capabilities for ultra-large bearings typically used in wind and other large industrial equipment. Furthermore, the new in-line forge press that came on stream at the Faircrest Steel Plant, is expected to unlock new market opportunities and operating efficiencies for Timken, with processing capabilities unique in the Americas.

Expanding its reach, extending its knowledge, products, services and channels to meet customer needs wherever they are in the world. This includes further developing its existing product lines. For example, adding new size ranges to its non-tapered bearing product lines, expanding its rail bearing reconditioning services to support new business and broadening its Industrial services portfolio, most recently through the acquisition of electric motor repair and additional gearbox services. The Company also continues to expand its presence in new geographic locations with an emphasis in Asia and India, where the Company has recently introduced a broader range of repair and refurbishment services.

Performing with excellence and delivering exceptional results with a passion for superior execution. The Company drives execution by embracing a continuous improvement culture that is charged with lowering costs, eliminating waste, increasing efficiency, encouraging organizational agility and building greater brand equity. As part of this effort, the Company may also reposition underperforming product lines and segments and divest non-strategic assets.

The following item highlights the Company's most recent significant strategic accomplishment:

On September 5, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a plan to pursue a separation of its steel business from its bearings and power transmission business through a spinoff, creating a new independent, publicly traded steel company. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to shareholders and should be completed within 12 months, subject to customary regulatory approvals, the receipt of a legal opinion regarding the tax-free nature of the transaction, the execution of intercompany agreements between the Company and the new steel company, final approval of the Company's Board of Directors and other customary matters. One time transaction costs in connection with the separation of the two companies are expected to be approximately $125 million.

The Company reported net sales of approximately $1.06 billion for the third quarter of 2013, compared to approximately $1.14 billion in the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of 7.1%. Sales were lower across all business segments. The decrease in sales was primarily driven by lower volume, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions and higher pricing. For the third quarter of 2013, net income per diluted share was $0.54, compared to $0.83 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012. The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2013 was lower than the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to the impact of lower volume, unfavorable sales mix and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by lower raw material costs (net of surcharges) and lower plant closure costs and higher pricing.

The Company reported net sales of approximately $3.28 billion for the first nine months of 2013, compared to approximately $3.91 billion for the same period in 2012, a decrease of 16.1%. Sales were lower across all business segments. The decrease in sales was driven by lower volume and raw material surcharges, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions and higher pricing. For the first nine months of 2013, net income per diluted share was $2.18 compared to $4.28 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2012. The Company's net income for the first nine months of 2013 was lower than the first nine months of 2012 due to the impact of lower volume, unfavorable sales mix and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by lower raw material costs (net of surcharges), selling, general and administrative expenses, logistics costs and plant closure costs as well as higher pricing. In addition, the Company's net income for the first nine months of 2012 included CDSOA receipts, net of expense, of $108.6 million ($69.0 million after-tax or $0.70 per diluted share). See Note 16 - Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) for additional information.

Outlook:

The Company expects 2013 full-year sales to be down approximately 13% compared to 2012, primarily driven by lower volume across all segments, as well as lower raw material surcharges. The Company's earnings are expected to be lower in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to significantly lower CDSOA receipts, lower volume and unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by lower raw material costs (net of surcharges).

The Company expects to generate cash from operations of approximately $415 million in 2013, a decrease of approximately 30% from 2012, as the Company anticipates lower net income and higher cash used for working capital items, partially offset by lower pension and postretirement contributions. Pension and postretirement contributions are expected to be approximately $115 million in 2013, compared to $376 million in 2012. The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $320 million in 2013, compared to $300 million in 2012. The expected increase in capital expenditures is primarily driven by several multi-year projects. See "Other Matters - Capital Expenditures" for more information about capital expenditures.

Refer to Note 16 - Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) for additional information.

Other income, net decreased in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to foreign currency exchange losses recognized in the third quarter of 2013 compared to foreign currency exchange gains in the third quarter of 2012, partially offset by lower charitable donations. Other expense, net decreased in the first nine months of 2013 compared the first nine months of 2012 primarily due to lower losses from the disposal of fixed assets and lower charitable donations.

The increase in the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012 was primarily due to higher losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, certain non-deductible U.S. expenses primarily due to the Company's separation costs, and lower discrete tax benefits realized. These factors were partially offset by higher benefits from the foreign tax credit and the U.S. research tax credit, higher U.S. manufacturing deduction and lower realized U.S. state and local taxes.

The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2013 compared to the first nine months of 2012 was primarily due to higher benefits from the foreign tax credit and U.S. research tax credit, higher discrete tax benefits and lower U.S. state and local taxes realized. These factors were partially offset by higher losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, certain non-deductible U.S. expenses primarily due to the Company's separation costs, and a lower realized benefit from the U.S. manufacturing deduction.

Business Segments


The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is EBIT. Refer to Note 11 - Segment Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the reconciliation of EBIT by segment to consolidated income before income taxes.

The presentation of segment results below includes a reconciliation of the changes in net sales for each segment reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions made in 2013 and 2012 and currency exchange rates. The effects of acquisitions and currency exchange rates on net sales are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage change in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Wazee Companies, LLC (Wazee). During the first quarter of 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Interlube. Results for Interlube are reported in the Mobile Industries segment. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Standard Machine, as well as substantially all of the assets of Smith Services. Results for Standard Machine, Smith Services and Wazee are reported in the Process Industries segment.
