Tapered Roller Bearings. The tapered roller bearing is the Company's original entrant to the anti-friction bearing sector. Tapered rollers permit ready absorption of both radial and axial load combinations. For this reason, tapered roller bearings are particularly well-adapted to reducing friction where shafts, gears or wheels are used. Bearings generally consist of four components: (1) the cone or inner race; (2) the cup or outer race; (3) the rollers, which roll between the cup and cone; and (4) the cage, which serves as a retainer and maintains proper spacing between the rollers. They can be found wherever gears and shafts turn in a wide variety of market sectors, including construction and mining, metal and paper-making mills, commercial truck and power generation.

Precision Cylindrical and Ball Bearings. The Company's aerospace facilities produce high-performance ball and cylindrical bearings for ultra high-speed and/or high-accuracy applications in space and robotic vehicles, including Curiosity, the newest Mars rover. Customers for these precision bearings also include manufacturers of medical and health equipment, machine tools, critical motion control systems and precision robotics. These bearings utilize ball and straight rolling elements and are in the super-precision end of the general ball and straight roller bearing product range in the bearing industry. A majority of these bearings products are custom-designed bearings and spindle assemblies. They often utilize specialized materials and coatings in applications that subject the bearings to extreme operating conditions of speed and temperature.

Spherical and Cylindrical Roller Bearings. Timken produces spherical and cylindrical roller bearings for large gear drives, rolling mills and other industrial and infrastructure development applications. These products are sold worldwide to original equipment manufacturers and industrial distributors serving major end-market sectors, including construction and mining, natural resources, defense, pulp and paper production, rolling mills and general industrial goods. The same rigorous analysis and development apply to these products.

Chains and Augers. Through the acquisition of Drives, LLC (Drives) in 2011, Timken manufactures precision roller chain, pintle chain, agricultural conveyor chain, engineering class chain, oil field roller chain and auger products. These highly engineered products are vital to a wide range of mobile and industrial machinery applications, including agriculture, oil and gas, aggregate and mining, primary metals, forest products and other heavy industries. They also are utilized in the food and beverage and packaged goods sectors, which often require high-end, specialty products, including stainless-steel and corrosion-resistant roller chains.

Gear-Drive Systems. Through the acquisition of the assets of Philadelphia Gear Corp. (Philadelphia Gear) in 2011, Timken provides aftermarket gear box repair services and gear-drive systems for the industrial, energy and military marine sectors, including refining and pipeline systems, mining, cement, pulp and paper making and water management systems.

Services. Timken offers a broad array of industrial services including bearing reconditioning and repair; condition monitoring and reliability services designed to maximize performance; and durability and maintenance intervals for industrial and railroad customers, both domestically and internationally. Other services include maintenance and rework of large industrial equipment used in metal-making mills and the energy sectors.  Services accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Aerospace Products and Services. The Company's portfolio of parts, systems and services for the aerospace market sector has grown to include products used in helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft for the military and commercial aviation industries. Timken designs, manufactures and tests a wide variety of power transmission and drive train components, including bearings, transmissions, turbine engine components, gears and rotor-head assemblies and housings. Other parts include airfoils (such as blades, vanes, rotors and diffusers), nozzles and other precision flight-critical components. In addition to original equipment, Timken provides a wide range of aftermarket products and services for global customers, including complete engine overhaul, bearing repair, component reconditioning and replacement parts for gas turbine engines, transmissions and fuel controls, gearboxes and accessory systems in helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.

Steel. Timken manufactures alloy steel as well as carbon and micro-alloy steel.  Included in its portfolio are specialty bar quality (SBQ) bars and seamless mechanical tubing.  In addition, Timken supplies machining and thermal treatment services, as well as manages raw material recycling programs.  Timken's metallurgical expertise and unique operational capabilities drive customized, high-value solutions for the mobile, industrial and energy sectors. 

Timken focuses on creating tailored products and services for their customers’ most demanding applications and supply chains, and most of their steel is custom-engineered.  Timken leverages its technical knowledge, research expertise and production and engineering capabilities across all of its products and end markets to deliver high-performance steel products to its customers.  Timken’s engineers are experts both in materials and applications, enabling us to deliver flexible solutions related to steel products as well as their applications and supply chains. 

Precision Steel Components. Timken also produces custom-made steel products, including steel components for automotive and industrial customers. Steel components provide the Company with the opportunity to further expand its market for tubing and capture higher value-added steel sales by streamlining customer supply chains. It also enables traditional Timken tubing customers in the automotive and bearing industries to take advantage of ready-to-finish components that cost less than other alternatives. Customization of products is an important element of the Company's steel business where mechanical power transmission is critical to the end customer.

Sales and Distribution:
Timken products are sold principally by its own internal sales organizations. A portion of each segment's sales are made through authorized distributors.

Customer collaboration is central to the Company's sales strategy. Therefore, Timken goes where its customers need them, with sales engineers primarily working in close proximity to customers rather than at production sites. In some cases, Timken may co-locate with a customer at their facility to ensure optimized collaboration. The Company's sales force constantly updates the team's training and knowledge regarding all friction management products and market sector trends, and Timken employees assist customers during development and implementation phases and provide ongoing service and support.

The Company has a joint venture in North America focused on joint logistics and e-business services. This joint venture, CoLinx, LLC, includes five equity members: Timken, SKF Group, the Schaeffler Group, Rockwell Automation and Gates Corporation. The e-business service focuses on information and business services for authorized distributors in the Process Industries segment.

Most orders for Timken's steel products are customized to satisfy customer-specific applications and are shipped directly to customers from the Company's steel manufacturing plants. Less than 10% of the Timken Steel segment's net sales are intersegment sales. In addition, sales are made to other anti-friction bearing companies and to the automotive and truck, forging, construction, industrial equipment, oil and gas drilling, aircraft industries and to steel service centers.

Timken has entered into individually negotiated contracts with some of its customers. These contracts may extend for one or more years and, if a price is fixed for any period extending beyond current shipments, customarily include a commitment by the customer to purchase a designated percentage of its requirements from Timken. Timken does not believe that there is any significant loss of earnings risk associated with any given contract.

Competition:
The anti-friction bearing business is highly competitive in every country where Timken sells products. Timken competes primarily based on total value, including price, quality, timeliness of delivery, product design and the ability to provide engineering support and service on a global basis. The Company competes with domestic manufacturers and many foreign manufacturers of anti-friction bearings, including SKF Group, the Schaeffler Group, NTN Corporation, JTEKT Corporation (JTEKT) and NSK Ltd.

The steel industry, both domestically and globally, is highly competitive and is expected to remain so. Maintaining high standards of product quality and reliability, while keeping production costs competitive, is essential to the Company's ability to compete with domestic and foreign manufacturers of mechanical components and alloy steel. Principal bar competitors include foreign-owned domestic producers Gerdau Special Steel North America (a unit of Brazilian steelmaker Gerdau, S.A) and Republic Steel (a unit of Mexican steel producer ICH), along with domestic steel producers Steel Dynamics, Inc. and Nucor Corporation. Seamless tubing competitors include foreign-owned domestic producers ArcelorMittal Tubular Products (a unit of Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal, S.A.), V&M Star Tubes (a unit of Vallourec, S.A.), and Tenaris, S.A. Additionally, Timken competes with a wide variety of offshore producers of both bars and tubes, including Sanyo Special Steel and Ovako Group AB. Timken also provides value-added steel products to its customers in the energy, industrial and automotive sectors. Competitors within the value-added market segment include Linamar, Jernberg and Curtis Screw Company.

Joint Ventures:
Investments in affiliated companies accounted for under the equity method were approximately $1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The amount at December 31, 2013 was reported in other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Backlog:
The following table provides the backlog of orders of the Company's domestic and overseas operations at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Raw Materials:
The principal raw materials used by Timken in steel manufacturing are scrap metal, nickel, molybdenum and other alloys. The availability and costs of raw materials and energy resources are subject to curtailment or change due to, among other things, new laws or regulations, changes in global demand levels, suppliers’ allocations to other purchasers, interruptions in production by suppliers, changes in exchange rates and prevailing price levels. For example, the consumption cost of scrap metal increased 23.4% from 2010 to 2011, decreased 6.1% from 2011 to 2012 and decreased 10.2% from 2012 to 2013.

The Company continues to expect that it will be able to pass a significant portion of cost increases through to customers in the form of price increases or surcharges.

Disruptions in the supply of raw materials or energy resources could temporarily impair the Company’s ability to manufacture its products for its customers or require the Company to pay higher prices in order to obtain these raw materials or energy resources from other sources, which could affect the Company’s revenues and profitability. Any increase in the costs for such raw materials or energy resources could materially affect the Company’s earnings. Timken believes that the availability of raw materials and alloys is adequate for its needs, and, in general, it is not dependent on any single source of supply.

Research:
Timken operates a network of technology and engineering centers to support its global customers with sites in North America, Europe and Asia. This network develops and delivers innovative friction management and mechanical power transmission solutions and technical services. The largest technical center is located in North Canton, Ohio, near Timken's world headquarters. Other sites in the United States include Mesa, Arizona; Manchester, Connecticut; Fulton, Illinois; Keene and Lebanon, New Hampshire and King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Within Europe, the Company has technology facilities in Plymouth, England; Colmar, France and Ploiesti, Romania. In Asia, Timken operates technology and engineering facilities in Bangalore, India and Shanghai, China.

Expenditures for research, development and application amounted to approximately $46.1 million, $52.6 million and $49.6 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $0.4 million, $0.8 million and $0.3 million were funded by others in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Environmental Matters:
The Company continues its efforts to protect the environment and comply with environmental protection laws. Additionally, it has invested in pollution control equipment and updated plant operational practices. The Company is committed to implementing a documented environmental management system worldwide and to becoming certified under the ISO 14001 standard where appropriate to meet or exceed customer requirements. As of the end of 2013, 21 of the Company’s plants had obtained ISO 14001 certification.

The Company believes it has established appropriate reserves to cover its environmental expenses and has a well-established environmental compliance audit program for its domestic and international units. This program measures performance against applicable laws, as well as against internal standards that have been established for all units worldwide. It is difficult to assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements that differ from existing ones. As previously reported, the Company is unsure of the future financial impact to the Company that could result from the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) final rules to tighten the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for fine particulate and ozone. In addition, the Company is unsure of the future financial impact to the Company that could result from the EPA instituting hourly ambient air quality standards for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. The Company is also unsure of the potential future financial impact to the Company that could result from possible future legislation regulating emissions of greenhouse gases.

The Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries have been identified as potentially responsible parties for investigation and remediation at off-site disposal or recycling facilities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), known as the Superfund, or state laws similar to CERCLA. In general, such claims for investigation and remediation have also been asserted against numerous other entities, which are believed to be financially solvent and are expected to substantially fulfill their proportionate share of the obligation.

Management believes any ultimate liability with respect to pending actions will not materially affect the Company’s operations, cash flows or consolidated financial position. The Company is also conducting environmental investigation and/or remediation activities at a number of current or former operating sites. The costs of such investigation and remediation activities, in the aggregate, are not expected to be material to the operations or financial position of the Company.

New laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up requirements may require Timken to incur costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses:
Timken owns numerous U.S. and foreign patents, trademarks and licenses relating to certain products. While Timken regards these as important, it does not deem its business as a whole, or any industry segment, to be materially dependent upon any one item or group of items.

Employment:
At December 31, 2013, Timken had nearly 19,000 employees. Approximately 9% of Timken’s U.S. employees are covered under collective bargaining agreements.

Available Information:
The Company uses its Investor Relations website at www.timken.com/investors, as a channel for routine distribution of important information, including news releases, analyst presentations and financial information. The Company posts filings as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), including its annual, quarterly and current reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K; its proxy statements; and any amendments to those reports or statements. All such postings and filings are available on the Company’s website free of charge.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks that are highlighted below are not the only ones that we face. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected.

Risk Relating to our Business

The bearing industry is highly competitive, and this competition results in significant pricing pressure for our products that could affect our revenues and profitability.

The global bearing industry is highly competitive. We compete with domestic manufacturers and many foreign manufacturers of anti-friction bearings, including SKF Group, the Schaeffler Group, NTN Corporation, JTEKT and NSK Ltd. The bearing industry is also capital intensive and profitability is dependent on factors such as labor compensation and productivity and inventory management, which are subject to risks that we may not be able to control. Due to the competitiveness within the bearing industry, we may not be able to increase prices for our products to cover increases in our costs. In many cases we face pressure from our customers to reduce prices, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. In addition, our customers may choose to purchase products from one of our competitors rather than pay the prices we seek for our products, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.


Competition and consolidation in the steel industry, together with potential global overcapacity, could result in significant pricing pressure for our products.

Competition within the steel industry, both domestically and worldwide, is intense and is expected to remain so. Global production overcapacity has occurred in the recent past and may recur in the future, which would exert downward pressure on domestic steel prices and result in, at times, a dramatic narrowing, or with many companies the elimination, of gross margins. High levels of steel imports into the United States could exacerbate this pressure on domestic steel prices. In addition, many of our competitors are continuously exploring and implementing strategies, including acquisitions and the addition or repositioning of capacity, which focus on manufacturing higher margin products that compete more directly with our steel products. Depending upon prevailing market conditions in the United States and abroad, the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, and other similar variables beyond our control, import activity into the United States and/or domestic production could continue to increase. These factors could lead to significant downward pressure on prices for our steel products or a reduction in sales, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.


Our business is capital intensive, and if there are downturns in the industries that we serve, we may be forced to significantly curtail or suspend operations with respect to those industries, which could result in our recording asset impairment charges or taking other measures that may adversely affect our results of operations and profitability.

Our business operations are capital intensive, and we devote a significant amount of capital to certain industries. If there are downturns in the industries that we serve, we may be forced to significantly curtail or suspend our operations with respect to those industries, including laying-off employees, recording asset impairment charges and other measures, which may adversely affect our results of operations and profitability.

Table of Contents

Weakness in global economic conditions or in any of the industries or geographic regions in which we or our customers operate, as well as the cyclical nature of our customers' businesses generally or sustained uncertainty in financial markets, could adversely impact our revenues and profitability by reducing demand and margins.

Our results of operations may be materially affected by the conditions in the global economy generally and in global capital markets. There has been extreme volatility in the capital markets and in the end markets and geographic regions in which we and our customers operate, which has negatively affected our revenues. Our revenues may also be negatively affected by changes in customer demand, additional changes in the product mix and negative pricing pressure in the industries in which we operate. Margins in those industries are highly sensitive to demand cycles, and our customers in those industries historically have tended to delay large capital projects, including expensive maintenance and upgrades, during economic downturns. As a result, our revenues and earnings are impacted by overall levels of industrial production.


Our results of operations may be materially affected by the conditions in the global financial markets or in any of the geographic regions in which we operate. If an end user cannot obtain financing to purchase our products, either directly or indirectly contained in machinery or equipment, demand for our products will be reduced, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and earnings.

If a customer becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, our ability to recover accounts receivable from that customer would be adversely affected and any payment we received during the preference period prior to a bankruptcy filing may be potentially recoverable by the bankruptcy estate. Furthermore, if certain of our customers liquidate in bankruptcy, we may incur impairment charges relating to obsolete inventory and machinery and equipment. In addition, financial instability of certain companies in the supply chain could disrupt production in any particular industry. A disruption of production in any of the industries where we participate could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and earnings.


Any change in the operation of our raw material surcharge mechanisms, a raw material market index or the availability or cost of raw materials and energy resources could materially affect our revenues and earnings.

We require substantial amounts of raw materials, including scrap metal and alloys and natural gas to operate our business. Many of our customer contracts contain surcharge pricing provisions. The surcharges are generally tied to a widely-available market index for that specific raw material. Recently many of the widely-available raw material market indices have experienced wide fluctuations. Any change in a raw material market index could materially affect our revenues. Any change in the relationship between the market indices and our underlying costs could materially affect our earnings. Any change in our projected year-end input costs could materially affect our last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method and earnings.

Moreover, future disruptions in the supply of our raw materials or energy resources could impair our ability to manufacture our products for our customers or require us to pay higher prices in order to obtain these raw materials or energy resources from other sources, and could thereby affect our sales and profitability. Any increase in the prices for such raw materials or energy resources could materially affect our costs and therefore our earnings.

 
Warranty, recall, quality or product liability claims could materially adversely affect our earnings.

In our business, we are exposed to warranty and product liability claims. In addition, we may be required to participate in the recall of a product. If we fail to meet customer specifications for their products, we may be subject to product quality costs and claims. A successful warranty or product liability claim against us, or a requirement that we participate in a product recall, could have a material adverse effect on our earnings.

Table of Contents

We may incur further impairment and restructuring charges that could materially affect our profitability.

We have taken $246.1 million in impairment and restructuring charges during the last five years. Changes in business or economic conditions, or our business strategy, may result in additional restructuring programs and may require us to take additional charges in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings.


Environmental laws and regulations impose substantial costs and limitations on our operations and environmental compliance may be more costly than we expect.

We are subject to the risk of substantial environmental liability and limitations on our operations due to environmental laws and regulations. We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations concerning matters such as air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous waste handling and disposal and the investigation and remediation of contamination. The risks of substantial costs and liabilities related to compliance with these laws and regulations are an inherent part of our business, and future conditions may develop, arise or be discovered that create substantial environmental compliance or remediation liabilities and costs.

Compliance with environmental, health and safety legislation and regulatory requirements may prove to be more limiting and costly than we anticipate. To date, we have committed significant expenditures in our efforts to achieve and maintain compliance with these requirements at our facilities, and we expect that we will continue to make significant expenditures related to such compliance in the future. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings brought by private parties or governmental authorities with respect to environmental matters, including matters involving alleged noncompliance with or liability under environmental, health and safety laws, property damage or personal injury. New laws and regulations, including those which may relate to emissions of greenhouse gases, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up requirements could require us to incur costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.


Unexpected equipment failures or other disruptions of our operations may increase our costs and reduce our sales and earnings due to production curtailments or shutdowns.

Interruptions in production capabilities, especially in our Steel segment, would likely increase our production costs and reduce sales and earnings for the affected period. In addition to equipment failures, our facilities and information technology systems are also subject to the risk of catastrophic loss due to unanticipated events such as fires, explosions or violent weather conditions. Our manufacturing processes are dependent upon critical pieces of equipment for which there may be only limited or no production alternatives, such as furnaces, continuous casters and rolling equipment, as well as electrical equipment, such as transformers, and this equipment may, on occasion, be out of service as a result of unanticipated failures. In the future, we may experience material plant shutdowns or periods of reduced production as a result of these types of equipment failures, which could cause us to lose or prevent us from taking advantage of various business opportunities or prevent us from responding to competitive pressures.


The Company may be subject to risks relating to its information technology systems.

The Company relies on information technology systems to process, transmit and store electronic information and manage and operate its business. A breach in security could expose the Company and its customers and suppliers to risks of misuse of confidential information, manipulation and destruction of data, production downtimes and operations disruptions, which in turn could adversely affect the Company's reputation, competitive position, business or results of operations.

The global nature of our business exposes us to foreign currency fluctuations that may affect our asset values, results of operations and competitiveness.

We are exposed to the risks of currency exchange rate fluctuations because a significant portion of our net sales, costs, assets and liabilities, are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These risks include a reduction in our asset values, net sales, operating income and competitiveness.

For those countries outside the United States where we have significant sales, devaluation in the local currency would reduce the value of our local inventory as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, a stronger U.S. dollar would result in reduced revenue, operating profit and shareholders' equity due to the impact of foreign exchange translation on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may make our products more expensive for others to purchase or increase our operating costs, affecting our competitiveness and our profitability.

Changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies and volatile economic, political and market conditions in emerging market countries have in the past adversely affected our financial performance and may in the future adversely affect the value of our assets located outside the United States, our gross profit and our results of operations.


Global political instability and other risks of international operations may adversely affect our operating costs, revenues and the price of our products.

Our international operations expose us to risks not present in a purely domestic business, including primarily:
changes in tariff regulations, which may make our products more costly to export or import;
difficulties establishing and maintaining relationships with local original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and dealers;
import and export licensing requirements;
compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations, including unexpected changes in taxation and environmental or other regulatory requirements, which could increase our operating and other expenses and limit our operations;
disadvantages of competing against companies from countries that are not subject to U.S. laws and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
difficulty in staffing and managing geographically diverse operations; and
tax exposures related to cross-border intercompany transfer pricing and other tax risks unique to international operations.

These and other risks may also increase the relative price of our products compared to those manufactured in other countries, reducing the demand for our products in the markets in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and earnings.


The funded status of our defined benefit and other postretirement plans has caused and may in the future cause a significant reduction in our shareholders' equity.
 
We recorded an increase in shareholders' equity related to pension and postretirement benefit liabilities in 2013 primarily due to an increase in discount rates, as well as higher than expected returns on pension and postretirement assets. However, we recorded a decrease in shareholders' equity related to pension and postretirement benefit liabilities in 2012, and in the future, we may be required to record charges related to pension and other postretirement liabilities as a result of asset returns, discount rate changes or other actuarial adjustments. These charges may be significant and would cause a reduction in our shareholders' equity.

Table of Contents

The funded status of our pension plans may require additional contributions, which may divert funds from other uses.

The funded status of our pension plans may require us to make additional contributions to such plans. We made cash contributions of approximately $121 million, $326 million and $291 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to our defined benefit pension plans and currently expect to make cash contributions of approximately $20 million in 2014 to such plans. However, we cannot predict whether changing economic conditions, the future performance of assets in the plans or other factors will lead us or require us to make contributions in excess of our current expectations, diverting funds we would otherwise apply to other uses.


Our defined benefit plans' assets and liabilities are substantial and expenses and contributions related to those plans are affected by factors outside our control, including the performance of plan assets, interest rates, actuarial data and experience, and changes in laws and regulations.

Our defined benefit pension plans had assets with an estimated value of approximately $3.3 billion and liabilities with an estimated value of approximately $3.1 billion, both as of December 31, 2013. Our future expense and funding obligations for the defined benefit pension plans depend upon a number of factors, including the level of benefits provided for by the plans, the future performance of assets set aside in trusts for these plans, the level of interest rates used to determine the discount rate to calculate the amount of liabilities, actuarial data and experience and any changes in government laws and regulations. In addition, if the various investments held by our pension trusts do not perform as expected or the liabilities increase as a result of discount rates and other actuarial changes, our pension expense and required contributions would increase and, as a result, could materially adversely affect our business. Due to the value of our defined benefit plan assets and liabilities, even a minor decrease in interest rates, to the extent not offset by contributions or asset returns, could increase our obligations under such plans. We may be legally required to make contributions to the pension plans in the future in excess of our current expectations, and those contributions could be material.


Work stoppages or similar difficulties could significantly disrupt our operations, reduce our revenues and materially affect our earnings.

A work stoppage at one or more of our facilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, if one or more of our customers were to experience a work stoppage, that customer would likely halt or limit purchases of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


We are subject to a wide variety of domestic and foreign laws and regulations that could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.

We are subject to a wide variety of domestic and foreign laws and regulations, and legal compliance risks, including securities laws, tax laws, employment and pension-related laws, competition laws, U.S. and foreign export and trading laws, and laws governing improper business practices. We are affected by new laws and regulations, and changes to existing laws and regulations, including interpretations by courts and regulators.

Compliance with the laws and regulations described above or with other applicable foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations currently in effect or that may be adopted in the future could materially adversely affect our competitive position, operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

Table of Contents

If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel our business could be materially adversely affected.

Our business substantially depends on the continued service of key members of our management. The loss of the services of a significant number of members of our management could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our future success will also depend on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, such as engineering, finance, marketing and senior management professionals. Competition for these employees is intense, and we could experience difficulty from time to time in hiring and retaining the personnel necessary to support our business. If we do not succeed in retaining our current employees and attracting new high quality employees, our business could be materially adversely affected.


We may not realize the improved operating results that we anticipate from past and future acquisitions and we may experience difficulties in integrating acquired businesses.

We seek to grow, in part, through strategic acquisitions and joint ventures, which are intended to complement or expand our businesses, and expect to continue to do so in the future. These acquisitions involve challenges and risks. In the event that we do not successfully integrate these acquisitions into our existing operations so as to realize the expected return on our investment, our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition could be adversely affected.


Our operating results depend in part on continued successful research, development and marketing of new and/or improved products and services, and there can be no assurance that we will continue to successfully introduce new products and services.

The success of new and improved products and services depends on their initial and continued acceptance by our customers. Our businesses are affected, to varying degrees, by technological change and corresponding shifts in customer demand, which could result in unpredictable product transitions or shortened life cycles. We may experience difficulties or delays in the research, development, production, or marketing of new products and services which may prevent us from recouping or realizing a return on the investments required to bring new products and services to market. The end result could be a negative impact on our operating results.

Risks Relating to Our Proposed Spinoff of Our Steel Business

The proposed spinoff of our steel business is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, may require significant time and attention of our management and may have an adverse effect on us even if not completed.

On September 5, 2013, our board of directors approved a plan to pursue a separation of our steel business through a spinoff. The proposed spinoff is subject to various conditions and may be affected by unanticipated developments or changes in market conditions. Completion of the spinoff will be contingent upon customary closing conditions, including, among other things, authorization and approval of our board of directors, receipt of governmental and regulatory approvals of the transactions contemplated by the spinoff, receipt of a legal opinion regarding the tax-free status of the spinoff, execution of intercompany agreements and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 with the SEC. For these and other reasons, the spinoff may not be completed as expected during 2014, if at all.

Even if the spinoff is not completed, our ongoing businesses may be adversely affected and we may be subject to certain risks and consequences, including, among others, the following:

execution of the proposed spinoff will require significant time and attention from management, which may distract management from the operation of our businesses and the execution of other initiatives that may have been beneficial to us;
our employees may be distracted due to uncertainty about their future roles with each of the separate companies pending the completion of the spinoff;
we will be required to pay certain costs and expenses relating to the spinoff, such as legal, accounting and other professional fees, whether or not it is completed; and
we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets if we fail to complete the spinoff.

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the price of our common shares.


We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the spinoff.

Although we believe that separating our steel business from our bearings and power transmission business by means of the spinoff will provide financial, operational, managerial and other benefits to us and our shareholders, the spinoff may not provide such results on the scope or scale we anticipate, and we may not realize the assumed benefits of the spinoff. In addition, we will incur one-time costs in connection with the spinoff that may exceed our estimates or could negate some of the benefits we expect to realize as a result of the spinoff. If we do not realize the assumed benefits of the spinoff or if our costs exceed our estimates, then we could suffer a material adverse effect on our financial condition.


If the proposed spinoff of our steel business is completed, the trading price of our common shares will decline.

We expect the trading price of our common shares immediately following the spinoff to be significantly lower than immediately prior to the spinoff because the trading price for our common shares will no longer reflect the value of our steel business.


Following the spinoff, the value of your common shares in: (a) the Company and (b) the steel business may collectively trade at an aggregate price less than what the Company's common shares might trade at had the spinoff not occurred.

The common shares of: (a) the Company and (b) the steel business that you may hold following the spinoff may collectively trade at a value less than the price at which the Company’s common shares might have traded at had the spinoff not occurred. These reasons include the future performance of either the Company or the steel business as separate, independent companies, and the future shareholder base and market for the Company’s common shares and the shares of the steel business and the prices at which these shares individually trade.

Table of Contents

The spinoff could result in substantial tax liability.

The spinoff is conditioned on our receipt of an opinion of Covington & Burling LLP, special tax counsel to us (or other nationally recognized tax counsel), in form and substance satisfactory to us, that the distribution of shares of our steel business in the spinoff will qualify as tax-free to the steel business, us and our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) and related provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and that certain internal restructuring transactions in connection with the spinoff similarly will be tax-free to the steel business, us and other members of our consolidated tax reporting group. The opinion will rely on, among other things, various assumptions and representations as to factual matters made by us and the steel business which, if inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, could jeopardize the conclusions reached by such counsel in its opinion. The opinion will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS), or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or the courts will not challenge the qualification of the spinoff as a transaction under Sections 355 and 368(a) of the Code or that any such challenge would not prevail.

If, notwithstanding receipt of the opinion of counsel, the spinoff were determined not to qualify under Section 355 of the Code, each U.S. holder of our common shares who receives shares of the steel business in connection with the spinoff would generally be treated as receiving a taxable distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of the steel business that are received. That distribution would be taxable to each such shareholder as a dividend to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. For each such shareholder, any amount that exceeded our earnings and profits would be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of such shareholder’s tax basis in his or her common shares of the Company with any remaining amount being taxed as a capital gain. We would be subject to tax as if we had sold common shares in a taxable sale for their fair market value and we would recognize taxable gain in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such common shares over our tax basis in such common shares, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


Certain members of our board of directors and management may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their ownership of shares of the steel business or their relationships with the steel business following the spinoff.

Certain members of our board of directors and management are expected to own shares of the steel business and/or options to purchase shares of the steel business, which could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when our directors and executive officers are faced with decisions that could have different implications for us and the steel business. It is possible that some of our directors might also be directors of the steel business following the spinoff. This may create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest if these directors are faced with decisions that could have different implications for the steel business then the decisions have for us.

The Company reported net sales for 2013 of approximately $4.3 billion, compared to approximately $5.0 billion in 2012, a 12.9% decrease. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower volume across all business segments and lower surcharges, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions and favorable pricing. In 2013, net income per diluted share was $2.74, compared to $5.07 in 2012. The Company's net income for 2013, compared to 2012, was lower due to the impact of lower volume, unfavorable sales mix, higher manufacturing costs and separation costs due to the planned spinoff of the steel business, partially offset by lower raw material costs (net of surcharges), lower selling, general and administrative expenses, favorable pricing and lower restructuring charges. In addition, net income for 2013 was lower due to U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) receipts, net of expense, of $108.0 million ($68.0 million after tax, or approximately $0.69 per diluted share) received in 2012. The higher manufacturing costs were the result of lower plant utilization. Restructuring charges related to the closure of the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada (St. Thomas) were lower in 2013 compared to 2012.

Outlook:
The Company's outlook reflects its current business structure with all four operating segments in place for the full twelve months of 2014. The Company expects sales to increase approximately 6% in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily driven by higher demand in the industrial, off-highway, energy, defense and rail end-market sectors. The Company's earnings are expected to be higher in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to higher demand and the impact from cost-reduction initiatives, with all four segments expected to achieve double-digit operating margins.

From a liquidity standpoint, the Company expects to generate cash from operations of approximately $560 million in 2014, an increase of $128 million or 30% over 2013, as the Company anticipates higher net income and lower pension contributions. Pension contributions are expected to be approximately $20 million in 2014, compared to $120.7 million in 2013. The Company expects to decrease capital expenditures to approximately $310 million in 2014, compared to $325.8 million in 2013.

On September 5, 2013, the Company announced its intent to pursue a separation of the Company's steel business through a tax-free spinoff, creating a new independent publicly traded steel company, TimkenSteel Corporation, that is expected to be completed by mid-year 2014.

In connection with the spinoff, the Company expects to incur one-time separation costs of approximately $105 million, of which approximately $30 million is expected to be capital. Included in these costs is approximately $15 million related to another specific cost-reduction initiative to generate an additional $20 million of annualized savings, which are intended to mitigate the incremental enterprise costs associated with operating two independent companies. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has incurred approximately $13 million of separation costs related to the planned spinoff of the steel business.

The effective tax rate on pretax income for 2013 was unfavorable relative to the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to U.S. taxation of foreign income including U.S. taxation on cash repatriation, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. non-deductible items, including certain separation costs, and U.S. state and local taxes. These factors were partially offset by discrete U.S. tax benefits, including certain settlements related to tax audits, U.S. foreign tax credits, earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%, the U.S. manufacturing deduction and the U.S research tax credit.

The effective tax rate for 2012 was unfavorable relative to the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. state and local taxes and U.S. taxation of foreign income. These factors were partially offset by earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%, U.S. foreign tax credits, the U.S. manufacturing deduction and certain discrete U.S. tax benefits.
The change in the effective tax rate in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to U.S. taxation of foreign income, including U.S. taxation on cash repatriation, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded and higher U.S. state and local taxes, partially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits, higher U.S. manufacturing deduction and the net effect of other discrete items.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Refer to Note 15 - 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.

The Mobile Industries segment’s net sales, excluding the impact of acquisitions and currency-rate changes, decreased 12.9% in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to lower volume of approximately $220 million, partially offset by favorable pricing of approximately $5 million. The lower volume was driven by a 20% decrease in off-highway, primarily in mining and agriculture sectors. In addition, heavy truck declined 18% and light vehicle declined 14% primarily due to planned program exits. EBIT decreased in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to the impact of lower volume of approximately $80 million and higher manufacturing costs of approximately $20 million, partially offset by lower restructuring charges of approximately $15 million, lower material costs of approximately $15 million, lower selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $15 million, favorable pricing of approximately $5 million and a gain on the sale at the Company's former manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo of approximately $5 million. Restructuring charges related to the closure of the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas were lower in 2013 compared to 2012.

Sales for the Mobile Industries segment are expected to decrease by 3% to 8% in 2014 compared to 2013. The expected decrease is primarily due to a decrease in lower light-vehicle volume of approximately 30%, driven by planned program exits, partially offset by an increase in off-highway volume of approximately 5% and an increase in rail volume of approximately 5%. EBIT for the Mobile Industries segment is expected to remain approximately the same in 2014 compared to 2013 as a result of the recognition of an additional gain related to the Company's former manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo offset by the impact of lower volume.

The Steel segment’s net sales for 2013, excluding the impact of currency-rate changes, decreased 20.2% compared to 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume of approximately $230 million and lower surcharges of approximately $115 million. The lower volume was led by decreases in industrial demand of approximately 35% and oil and gas demand of approximately 30%, partially offset by an increase in mobile demand of approximately 10%.

Surcharges decreased to $300 million in 2013 from approximately $415 million in 2012. Approximately 60% of the decrease in surcharges was a result of lower volume. The remaining portion was a result of lower market prices for certain input raw materials, especially scrap steel, nickel and molybdenum. Surcharges are a pricing mechanism that the Company uses to recover scrap steel, energy and certain alloy costs, which are derived from published monthly indices.

The decrease in the average selling price was primarily the result of lower volume and surcharges.

The Steel segment’s EBIT decreased $111.6 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to lower surcharges of approximately $115 million, the impact of lower volume of approximately $95 million, unfavorable mix of approximately $50 million and higher LIFO expense of approximately $17 million, partially offset by lower raw material costs of approximately $150 million and lower logistics and manufacturing costs of approximately $15 million. In 2013, the Steel segment recognized an increase in its LIFO reserve of LIFO expense of $1.1 million, compared to a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $15.6 million in 2012. The change in LIFO was due to lower inventory levels and the mix of inventory. Raw material costs consumed in the manufacturing process, including scrap steel, alloys and energy, decreased 14% in 2013 compared to the prior year to an average cost of $463 per ton.

Sales for the Steel segment are expected to increase 12% to 17% in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to higher volume and higher surcharges. The Company expects higher volume to be driven by increases in oil and gas and industrial demand of over 20% each, with mobile demand remaining relatively flat. EBIT for the Steel segment is expected to increase in 2014 compared to 2013 driven by higher volume, higher surcharges and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher LIFO expense. Scrap, alloy and energy costs are expected to increase in the near term from current levels.

The Company reported net sales for 2012 of approximately $5.0 billion, compared to approximately $5.2 billion in 2011, a 3.5% decrease. The sales decrease reflects lower volume across all business segments except for the Aerospace segment, lower surcharges and the effect of currency rate changes, partially offset by favorable pricing and the impact of acquisitions. In 2012, net income per diluted share was $5.07, compared to $4.59 in 2011. The Company's earnings for 2012 reflected CDSOA receipts, net of expense, of $108.0 million ($68.0 million after tax, or approximately $0.69 per diluted share), as well as favorable pricing, lower material costs and the impact of prior-year acquisitions, partially offset by lower material surcharges, the impact of lower volume, higher manufacturing costs and restructuring charges related to the announced closure of the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas. The higher manufacturing costs were the result of lower plant utilization.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is EBIT. Refer to Note 15 - 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 2011 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 third quarter of 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Philadelphia Gear, which is reported in the Process Industries segment. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Drives. Results for Drives are reported in the Mobile and Process Industries segments based on customer application. The acquisition of the assets of Wazee, which was completed on December 31, 2012, had no impact on the 2012 operating results.

Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for a discussion of the increase in cash and cash equivalents. Accounts receivable, net increased as a result of higher sales in December 2013 compared to December 2012, and a lower allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.9 million. Inventories decreased across all businesses to match current demand, partially offset by the impact of current year acquisitions. Deferred income taxes decreased while deferred charges and prepaid expenses increased due to a reclassification of income taxes related to intercompany transactions. Other current assets increased primarily due to the recognition of receivables related to the sale of real estate in Sao Paulo of approximately $14 million.

The increase in goodwill was primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2013. The increase in non-current pension assets was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation from 4% to 5%, as well as pension asset returns in excess of expectations, both of which primarily related to U.S. pension plans. The decrease in other intangible assets was primarily due to current-year amortization expense exceeding intangibles acquired in 2013. The decrease in deferred income taxes was primarily due to the recognition of certain tax deductible items, primarily related to accelerated tax depreciation, which are recognized in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes, as well as the reduction of pension and postretirement liabilities. The increase in other non-current assets was primarily due to receivables of approximately $11 million extending beyond one year related to the sale of real estate in Sao Paulo.

The increase in short-term debt during 2013 was primarily to provide liquidity for non-U.S. inter-company dividends. Salaries, wages and benefits decreased primarily due to the reduction in accruals for incentive based compensation plans. The increase in income taxes payable was primarily due to the provision for current-year income taxes and a reclassification of uncertain tax positions from other non-current liabilities to income taxes payable. These increases were partially offset by current-year tax payments. The increase in other current liabilities was primarily due to the recognition of a deferred gain of approximately $23 million related to the sale of real estate in Sao Paulo, partially offset by lower restructuring accruals. The increase in the current portion of long-term debt was primarily due to the reclassification of the Company’s $250 million fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, which mature in September 2014, from non-current liabilities to current liabilities.

The decrease in long-term debt was primarily due to the reclassification of the Company’s $250 million fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, which mature in September 2014, to current liabilities. The decrease in accrued pension cost was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation, as well as favorable returns on pension assets and $121 million in contributions, which changed the U.S. pension plans from underfunded to overfunded requiring a reclassification to non-current pension assets for 2013. The decrease in accrued postretirement benefits cost was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate used to measure the accumulated benefit obligation. The increase in deferred income taxes related primarily to the reduction of pension and postretirement liabilities. The decrease in other non-current liabilities was primarily due to a reclassification of uncertain tax positions to current income taxes payable.

Earnings invested in the business increased in 2013 by net income attributable to the Company of $262.7 million, partially offset by dividends of $87.5 million. The decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily due to a $398.3 million after tax pension and postretirement liability adjustment, partially offset by $11.5 million from foreign currency translation. The pension and postretirement liability adjustment was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate used to measure pension and postretirement plan obligations, as well as higher than expected returns on plan assets and the realization of actuarial losses in 2013. The foreign currency translation adjustment was due to the U.S. dollar strengthening relative to other currencies, such as the Australian dollar, the Indian rupee, the South African rand, the Canadian dollar and the Brazilian real. The increase in treasury shares was primarily due to the Company's purchase of 3.4 million of its common shares for an aggregate of $189.2 million, partially offset by shares issued pursuant to stock compensation plans.

Operating activities provided net cash of $430.0 million in 2013, compared to $624.1 million in 2012. The change in cash from operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in net income, as well as the impact of incomes taxes and lower cash provided by working capital items. These decreases in cash were partially offset by lower pension contributions and other postretirement benefit payments. Net income attributable to The Timken Company decreased by $232.8 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Income taxes, including deferred income taxes, provided cash of $34.8 million in 2013, compared to $144.8 million in 2012. Pension and other postretirement benefit contributions and payments were $158.0 million in 2013, compared to $412.7 million in 2012.

Investing activities used cash of $376.0 million in 2013 compared to $297.7 million in 2012. The increase was primarily due to a $43.5 million increase in cash used for acquisitions and a $28.6 million increase in cash used for capital expenditures, as well as an $8.8 million reduction in cash provided by investments in short-term marketable securities. Short-term marketable securities provided cash of $5.5 million in 2013 after providing cash of $14.3 million in 2012.

Table of Contents

Net cash used by financing activities was $249.3 million and $208.6 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in cash used for financing activities was primarily due to increased purchases of common shares in 2013. The Company purchased 3.4 million of its common shares for an aggregate of $189.2 million in 2013 after purchasing 2.5 million of its common shares for an aggregate of $112.3 million in 2012. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $30 million on payments on long-term debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total debt was $475.9 million and $479.0 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Debt exceeded cash and cash equivalents by $76.2 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents exceeded debt by $122.5 million. The ratio of net debt (cash) to capital was 2.8% at December 31, 2013. The ratio of net debt (cash) to capital was (5.8)% at December 31, 2012.

The Company presents net debt (cash) because it believes net debt (cash) is more representative of the Company’s financial position than total debt due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents.

On November 30, 2012, the Company entered into a three-year Amended and Restated Accounts Receivable Securitization Financing Agreement (Asset Securitization Agreement), which provides for borrowings up to $200 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables of the Company. At December 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Asset Securitization Agreement; however, certain borrowing base limitations reduced the availability under the Asset Securitization Agreement to $149.3 million.

The Company has a $500 million Senior Credit Facility that matures on May 11, 2016. At December 31, 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 December 31, 2013, the Company was in full compliance with the covenants under the Senior Credit Facility. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.25 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio was 0.72 to 1.0. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 4.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s consolidated interest coverage ratio was 18.84 to 1.0.

38

Table of Contents

The interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility is based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee based on the consolidated leverage ratio multiplied by the aggregate commitments of all of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility.

Other sources of liquidity include short-term and long-term lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, which provide for borrowings up to $217.0 million in the aggregate. The majority of these lines are uncommitted. At December 31, 2013, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $19.8 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $197.2 million.

The Company expects that any cash requirements in excess of cash on hand will be met by the committed funds available under its Asset Securitization Agreement and the Senior Credit Facility. Management believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through at least the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

At December 31, 2013, approximately $274.1 million, or 71%, of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents resided in jurisdictions outside the United States. Repatriation of these funds to the United States could be subject to domestic and foreign taxes and an immaterial amount could be subject to governmental restrictions. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company implemented a strategy to repatriate approximately $365 million of cash, incurring tax expense of approximately $26 million. The Company repatriated $123 million of cash in January 2014, with the remaining portion expected to be repatriated in future periods. The Company had undistributed earnings related to its international subsidiaries of $577.9 million at December 31, 2013. A deferred tax liability of $8.7 million has been accrued at December 31, 2013 for earnings of $136.1 million (relating to the $365 million cash repatriation strategy) that are available to be repatriated to the U.S.  No provisions for U.S. income taxes have been made with respect to earnings of $441.8 million that are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States.  The amount of U.S. income taxes that may be applicable to such earnings is $23.3 million if such earnings were repatriated, net of foreign tax credits. Part of the Company’s strategy is to grow in attractive market sectors, many of which are outside the United States. This strategy may include making investments in facilities and equipment and potential new acquisitions. The Company plans to fund these investments, as well as meet working capital requirements, with cash and cash equivalents and unused lines of credit within the geographic location of these investments when possible.

The Company expects to remain in compliance with its debt covenants. However, the Company may need to limit its borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility or other facilities in order to remain in compliance. As of December 31, 2013, the Company could have borrowed the full amounts available under the Senior Credit Facility and Asset Securitization Agreement, and would have still been in compliance with its debt covenants.

The Company has $250 million of fixed-rate unsecured notes which mature in September 2014. The Company plans to refinance the unsecured notes in advance of their maturities.

The Company expects cash from operations in 2014 to increase to approximately $560 million from $430 million in 2013, as the Company anticipates higher net income and lower pension contributions. The Company expects to make approximately $20 million in pension contributions in 2014, compared to $120.7 million in 2013. The Company also expects to decrease capital expenditures to approximately $310 million in 2014 compared to $325.8 million in 2013.

The interest payments beyond five years primarily relate to medium-term notes that mature over the next 16 years.
Purchase commitments are defined as an agreement to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company. Included in purchase commitments above are certain obligations related to take or pay contracts, capital commitments, service agreements and utilities. Many of these commitments relate to take or pay contracts, in which the Company guarantees payment to ensure availability of products or services. These purchase commitments do not represent the entire anticipated purchases in the future, but represent only those items for which the Company is contractually obligated. The majority of the Company's products and services are purchased as needed, with no commitment.

Retirement benefits represent pension and health care payments expected to be paid to retirees or their beneficiaries over the next ten years. These payments are largely covered by pension and postretirement benefit plan assets.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $49.5 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits. The Company anticipates a decrease in its unrecognized tax positions of $30 million to $35 million during the next 12 months. The anticipated decrease is primarily due to settlements with tax authorities. Future tax positions are not known at this time and therefore not included in the above summary of the Company’s fixed contractual obligations. Refer to Note 16 – Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

During 2013, the Company made cash contributions of approximately $120.7 million to its global defined benefit pension plans, of which $105.0 million was discretionary. The Company currently expects to make contributions to its global defined benefit pension plans totaling approximately $20 million in 2014, none of which is discretionary. The Company may consider making discretionary contributions to either its global defined benefit pension plans or its postretirement benefit plans during 2014. Returns for the Company’s global defined benefit pension plan assets in 2013 were 10.8%, above the expected rate of return of 8.0% due to broad increases in global equity markets. The higher returns positively impacted the funded status of the plans at the end of 2013 and are expected to result in lower pension expense in future years. Refer to Note 13 - Retirement Benefit Plans and Note 14 - Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

During 2013, the Company purchased 3.4 million of its common shares for approximately $189.2 million in the aggregate under the Company's 2012 common share purchase plan. This plan authorizes the Company to buy, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, up to 10 million common shares, which are to be held as treasury shares and used for specified purposes. The authorization expires on December 31, 2015.

As disclosed in Note 9 – Contingencies and Note 16 – Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has exposure for certain legal and tax matters.

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCMENTS

Information required for this Item is incorporated by reference to Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The following paragraphs include a discussion of some critical areas that require a higher degree of judgment, estimates and complexity.

Revenue recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when title passes to the customer. This occurs at the shipping point except for goods sold by certain foreign entities and certain exported goods, where title passes when the goods reach their destination. Selling prices are fixed based on purchase orders or contractual arrangements. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net sales and the related costs are included in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In July 2011, the Company acquired the assets of Philadelphia Gear. Philadelphia Gear recognizes a portion of its revenues on the percentage of completion method. In 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized approximately $45 million and $60 million, respectively, in net sales under the percentage-of-completion method.

Inventory:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with approximately 54% valued by the LIFO method and the remaining 46% 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 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 are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these 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 Company recognized a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $2.3 million during 2013 compared to a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $7.1 million during 2012.

Goodwill:
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of October first, after the annual forecasting process is completed. Furthermore, goodwill is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Each interim period, management of the Company assesses whether or not an indicator of impairment is present that would necessitate that a goodwill impairment analysis be performed in an interim period other than during the fourth quarter.

The goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step process. Step one compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair values, step two is performed, where the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, impairment exists and must be recognized.

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. Prior to 2012, the Company’s reporting units were the same as its reportable segments: Mobile Industries, Process Industries, Aerospace and Steel. During 2012, management began reviewing goodwill for impairment at a level below the segment level for the Process Industries and Aerospace segments. This change was necessitated by a change in management structure, as well as the level of review of financial information by management within the Aerospace segment, and the acquisition of the assets of Philadelphia Gear. Philadelphia Gear is part of the Process Industries segment and provides aftermarket gear box repair services and gear-drive systems for the industrial, energy and military marine market sectors. In 2013, the acquisitions of Wazee, Smith Services and Standard Machine were grouped with Philadelphia Gear to comprise the Process Services reporting unit. The Company still reviews goodwill for impairment at the segment level for the Mobile Industries and Steel segments.

Table of Contents

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-8, “Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Based on a review of various qualitative factors, management concluded that the goodwill for the Mobile Industries and Process Industries Segment, excluding the Process Services reporting unit, was not impaired and that the two-step approach was not required to be performed for these reporting units. Based on a review of various qualitative factors, management concluded that the goodwill for the Steel segment, the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting units within the Aerospace segment, would be tested under the two-step approach. The Company prepares its goodwill impairment analysis by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit, using an income approach (a discounted cash flow model), as well as a market approach, with its carrying value.

The income approach requires several assumptions including future sales growth, EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) margins and capital expenditures. The Company’s reporting units each provide their forecast of results for the next three years. These forecasts are the basis for the information used in the discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model also requires the use of a discount rate and a terminal revenue growth rate (the revenue growth rate for the period beyond the three years forecasted by the reporting units), as well as projections of future operating margins (for the period beyond the forecasted three years). During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company used a discount rate for its reporting units of 10% to 13% and a terminal revenue growth rate of 2% to 5%.

The market approach requires several assumptions including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) multiples for comparable companies that operate in the same markets as the Company’s reporting units. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company used EBITDA multiples of 6.0 to 9.0 for its reporting units.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $358.7 million of goodwill on its Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $162.4 million was attributable to the Aerospace segment and $161.4 million was attributable to the Process Industries segment. See Note 7 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the carrying amount of goodwill by segment.

The fair value of the Aerospace segment's three reporting units was $203.6 million, $121.2 million and $272.0 million, respectively, compared to their carrying value of $154.4 million, $99.2 million and $187.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the Process Industries reporting unit was $301.2 million compared to its carrying value of $270.6 million. The fair value of the Steel segment exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. As a result, the Company did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2013.

A 210 basis point increase in the discount rate would have resulted in one of the Aerospace segment's reporting units failing step one of the goodwill impairment analysis, which would have required the completion of step two of the goodwill impairment analysis to arrive at a potential goodwill impairment loss. A 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would have resulted in the Process Services reporting unit failing step one of the goodwill impairment analysis. The projected cash flows could have declined by as much as 23.6% for one of the Aerospace segment's reporting units and the fair value would have still exceeded its carrying value. The projected cash flows could have declined by as much as 13% for the Process Services reporting unit and the fair value would have still exceeded its carrying value.

In 2013, the income approach for the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting units within the Aerospace segment was weighted by 70% and the market approach was weighted by 30% in arriving at fair value. The 70/30 weighting was selected to give consideration for the fact that the metrics for the last twelve months for the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting units within the Aerospace segment were not reflective of expected performance and the discounted-cash flow model provided a more normalized view of future operating conditions for the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting units within the Aerospace segment. Had the Company used a 50/50 weighting, the Company would still have passed step one of the goodwill impairment test for the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting units within the Aerospace segment for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Restructuring costs:
The Company’s policy is to recognize restructuring costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations,” and ASC Topic 712, “Compensation and Non-retirement Post-Employment Benefits.” Detailed contemporaneous documentation is maintained and updated to ensure that accruals are properly supported. If management determines that there is a change in estimate, the accruals are adjusted to reflect this change.

Income taxes:
The Company, which is subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions, accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records valuation allowances against deferred tax assets by tax jurisdiction when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial performance of the entity recording the net deferred tax asset is considered along with any other pertinent information. Deferred tax assets relate primarily to pension and postretirement benefit obligations in the United States, which the Company believes are more likely than not to result in future tax benefits.

In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate income tax determination is uncertain. The Company is regularly under audit by tax authorities. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 740. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, and accruals for uncertain tax positions.

Benefit Plans:
The Company sponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans that cover eligible associates. The Company also sponsors several funded and unfunded postretirement plans that provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees and their dependents. These plans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 715-30, "Defined Benefit Plans – Pension," and ASC Topic 715-60, "Defined Benefit Plans – Other Postretirement."
  
The measurement of liabilities related to these plans is based on management's assumptions related to future events, including discount rates, rates of return on pension plan assets, rates of compensation increases and health care cost trend rates. Management regularly evaluates these assumptions and adjusts them as required and appropriate. Other plan assumptions are also reviewed on a regular basis to reflect recent experience and the Company's future expectations. Actual experience that differs from these assumptions may affect future liquidity, expense and the overall financial position of the Company. While the Company believes that current assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the Company's pension and other postretirement employee benefit obligations and its future expense and cash flow.

The discount rate is used to calculate the present value of expected future pension and postretirement cash flows as of the measurement date. The Company establishes the discount rate by constructing a notional portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds and matching the coupon payments and bond maturities to projected benefit payments under the Company's pension and postretirement welfare plans. The bonds included in the portfolio are generally non-callable. A lower discount rate will result in a higher benefit obligation; conversely, a higher discount rate will result in a lower benefit obligation. The discount rate is also used to calculate the annual interest cost, which is a component of net periodic benefit cost.

The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined by analyzing the historical long-term performance of the Company's pension plan assets, as well as the mix of plan assets between equities, fixed income securities and other investments, the expected long-term rate of return expected for those asset classes and long-term inflation rates. Short-term asset performance can differ significantly from the expected rate of return, especially in volatile markets. A lower-than-expected rate of return on pension plan assets will increase pension expense and future contributions.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans:
The Company recognized net periodic benefit cost of $69.7 million in 2013 for defined benefit pension plans, compared to $68.9 million in 2012. The slight increase in expense was primarily due to higher amortization of net actuarial losses, partially offset by lower interest cost and higher expected return from plan assets. Amortization of net actuarial losses was $116.8 million in 2013, compared to $83.3 million in 2012. The higher amortization of net actuarial losses was primarily due to a 100 basis point reduction in the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit pension obligation from 5.00% at December 31, 2011 to 4.0% at December 31, 2012. In addition, the increase in 2013 amortization of actuarial losses was due to the migration of deferred asset losses from 2008 and 2011 into unrecognized losses subject to amortization. Net actuarial losses are amortized over the average remaining service period of participants in the defined benefit pension plans.

Interest cost for 2013 was $134.7 million compared to $151.1 million for 2012. The higher expected return from plan assets for 2013 of $232.0 million, compared to $221.1 million for 2012, was due to a higher fair value from pension assets at December 31, 2012, as a result of favorable asset returns, partially offset by the impact of a 25 basis point reduction in the expected return on pension plan assets.
      
The Company also incurred pension settlement costs of $7.2 million in 2013 primarily related to the closure of the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas. In 2012, the Company incurred pension curtailment costs of $11.6 million primarily related to the closure of the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas. See Note 10 – Impairment and Restructuring Charges for a discussion of the closure of St. Thomas.

In 2014, the Company expects net periodic benefit cost to decrease to approximately $39 million for defined benefit pension plans. The expected decrease is primarily due to lower amortization of net actuarial losses, partially offset by a lower expected return from plan assets and higher interest cost. Amortization of net actuarial losses is expected to decrease approximately $46 million in 2014 compared to 2013. The majority of the decrease in the expected 2014 amortization of actuarial losses is attributable to a 102 basis point increase in the Company's discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligation from 4.00% at December 31, 2012 to 5.02% at December 31, 2013. The weighted-average amortization period for the Company's global defined pension plans is approximately 11 years.

The lower expected return from plan assets for 2014 is primarily due to the impact of a 75 basis point reduction in the expected return on pension assets for 2014, partially offset by a higher fair value on pension assets at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the expected rate of return is due to the Company's move to a higher level of debt securities offset by a lower level of equity securities to maintain its overfunded status on U.S. pension plans. The higher interest cost is primarily due to a 102 basis point increase in the Company's discount rate used for expense purposes from 4.00% for 2013 to 5.02% for 2014. The Company expects to contribute approximately $20 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2014 compared to $120.7 million in 2013.

During the period between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2013, the Company recognized net actuarial losses totaling $893.1 million for defined benefit pension plans. These actuarial losses primarily occurred in 2008, 2011 and 2012, offset by gains in 2009, 2010 and 2013. In 2008, the net actuarial loss of $743.5 million for defined benefit pension plans was primarily due to the global financial crisis, which led to broad declines in pension investment returns (a net asset loss of $564.2 million on actual assets in 2008, or negative 22% on pension plan assets of $2.5 billion, compared to an expected return of $200.9 million, or 8.75%, in 2008). The remaining portion of the net actuarial loss for 2008 was due to other changes in actuarial assumptions.

In 2011, the net actuarial loss of $404.6 million was primarily due to a 75 basis point reduction in the Company's discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligation. The change in the discount rate accounted for $234.1 million of the net actuarial loss. The remaining portion of the net actuarial loss for 2011 was due to lower than expected asset returns of $100.4 million and other changes in actuarial assumptions of $70.1 million. In 2012, the net actuarial loss of $263.1 million was primarily due to a 100 basis point reduction in the Company's discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligation. The change in the discount rate accounted for approximately $370 million of the net actuarial gain. Net actuarial losses as a result of the discount rate were partially offset by higher than expected asset returns of approximately $140 million (a net asset gain of $361.7 million on actual assets in 2012, or positive 13.8% on pension plan assets of $3.1 billion, compared to an expected return of $221.1 million, or 8.25%, in 2012). The remaining portion of the net actuarial loss for 2012 was due to other changes in actuarial assumptions.

In 2013, the net actuarial gain of $376.3 million was primarily due to a 102 basis point increase in the Company's discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligation. The change in the discount rate accounted for approximately $320 million of the net actuarial gain. In addition to the change in the discount rate, higher than expected asset returns of approximately $100 million (a net asset gain of $334.0 million on actual assets in 2013, or positive 10.8% on pension plan assets of $3.3 billion, compared to an expected return of $232.0 million, or 8.0%, in 2013). The remaining portion of the net actuarial gain for 2013 was due to other changes in actuarial assumptions. The impact of these net actuarial losses for defined benefit pension plans, as well as net actuarial losses related to postretirement benefit plans and net prior service costs for defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, has decreased total equity by $190.0 million after tax for the period between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2013.

During this same time period, the Company contributed a total of $1,052.3 million to its global defined benefit pension plans, of which approximately $955.7 million was discretionary. As discussed above, the Company expects to contribute approximately $20 million to its global defined benefit pension plans in 2014. Despite the net actuarial losses recorded for the period between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2013, only approximately $20 million of contributions are required in 2014. The effect of actuarial losses on future earnings and operating cash flow, as well as the impact from the higher interest rate to measure the Company's pension obligations is expected to be favorable in 2014, compared to 2013.

For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied a discount rate of 4.00% for the defined benefit pension plans. For expense purposes for 2014, the Company has applied a discount rate of 5.02% for the defined benefit pension plans. For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied an expected rate of return of 8.00% for the Company's pension plan assets. For expense purposes for 2014, the Company has applied an expected rate of return of 7.25% for the Company's pension plan assets.

The following table presents the sensitivity of the Company's U.S. projected pension benefit obligation (PBO), total equity and 2014 expense to the indicated increase/decrease in key assumptions:

In the table above, a 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate will increase the PBO by $74.3 million and decrease total equity by $74.3 million. The change in equity in the table above is reflected on a pre-tax basis. Defined benefit pension plans in the United States represent 84% of the Company's benefit obligation and 87% of the fair value of the Company's plan assets at December 31, 2013. The Company uses a combined U.S. federal and state statutory rate of approximately 37% to calculate the after tax impact on equity for U.S. plans.  The Company uses the local statutory tax rate in effect to calculate the after tax impact on equity for all remaining non-U.S. plans.  For some non-U.S. plans, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the tax benefits recorded in equity and, therefore, no tax benefits are recognized on an after tax basis.

Postretirement Benefit Plans:
The Company recognized net periodic benefit cost of $15.6 million in 2013 for postretirement benefit plans, compared to $22.6 million in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest cost. Interest cost was $21.7 million in 2013 for postretirement benefit plans, compared to $28.4 million in 2012, primarily due to a 105 basis point reduction in the Company's discount rate for expense purposes from 4.85% for 2012 to 3.80% for 2013.

In 2014, the Company expects net periodic benefit cost to increase slightly to approximately $17 million for postretirement benefit plans. The expected increase is primarily due to higher interest cost of approximately $2 million and higher amortization of prior service costs of $2 million, partially offset by lower amortization of actuarial losses of approximately $2 million. The higher expected interest cost for 2014 is primarily due to a 79 basis point increase in the Company's discount rate for expense purposes from 3.80% for 2013 to 4.59% for 2014. The majority of the decrease in the expected 2014 amortization of actuarial losses is attributable to a 79 basis point increase in the Company's discount rate used to measure its postretirement obligation from 3.80% at December 31, 2012 to 4.59% at December 31, 2013.

For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied a discount rate of 3.80% for the postretirement welfare plans.  For expense purposes for 2014, the Company has applied a discount rate of 4.59% for the postretirement welfare plans. For expense purposes in 2013 and 2014, the Company applied an expected rate of return of 5.0% to the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust assets.

The following table presents the sensitivity of the Company's accumulated other postretirement benefit obligation (ABO), total equity and 2014 expense to the indicated increase/decrease in key assumptions:

In the table above, a 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate will increase the ABO by $13.0 million and decrease equity by $13.0 million. The change in total equity in the table above is reflected on a pre-tax basis.

For measurement purposes for postretirement benefits, the Company assumed a weighted-average annual rate of increase in per capita cost (health care cost trend rate) for medical and prescription drug benefits of 7.25% for 2014, declining steadily for the next nine years to 5.0%; and 9.25% for HMO benefits for 2014, declining gradually for the next 17 years to 5.0%.  The assumed health care cost trend rate may have a significant effect on the amounts reported.  A one percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have increased the 2013 total service and interest cost components by $0.5 million and would have increased the postretirement obligation by $10.4 million.  A one percentage point decrease would provide corresponding reductions of $0.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

Other loss reserves:
The Company has a number of loss exposures that are incurred in the ordinary course of business such as environmental claims, product liability, product warranty, litigation and accounts receivable reserves. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires management’s estimate and judgment with regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability or realization. These loss reserves are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances.

OTHER DISCLOSURES:

Capital Expenditures:
The Company has been making strategic investments in business and production processes. The Company is in the midst of several multi-year projects in the Steel segment, including a new vertical continuous caster, an intermediate steel tube finishing line and an in-line forge press to produce new large-diameter sound-center bars. Additionally, the Company is constructing a new building to bring together personnel from the Company's Bearing and Power Transmission headquarters and corporate headquarters with personnel from the Company's technology center in North Canton, Ohio.

The caster, which will provide large bar capabilities unique in the United States, is expected to cost approximately $200 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had incurred costs of $140.5 million, including capitalized interest, related to this project. During 2013, the Company incurred approximately $110 million related to this project. The caster is expected to begin production in the second half of 2014. The steel tube finishing line project is expected to cost approximately $50 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had incurred $47 million related to this project. The in-line forge press is expected to cost approximately $32 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had incurred virtually all of the costs related to this project. These investments reinforce the Company's position of offering the broadest special bar quality steel capabilities in North America.

The construction of the new building began in April 2012 to accommodate a combined team of approximately 1,200 employees, from research and development, engineering, customer service, sales and marketing and corporate functions.  The Company foresees increased collaboration among employees at the new North Canton campus, thereby increasing the speed of innovation and levels of customer service when the project is expected to be mostly completed in early 2014.  The total cost of the project is expected to be approximately $65 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had incurred $50 million related to this project.

Foreign Currency:
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Related translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company recognized a foreign currency exchange loss of $9.2 million, $6.9 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $11.5 million that decreased shareholders’ equity, compared to a positive non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $10.5 million that increased shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2012. The foreign currency translation adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2013 were negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies such as the such as the Australian dollar, the Indian rupee, the South African rand, the Canadian dollar and the Brazilian real.

Trade Law Enforcement:
The U.S. government has an antidumping duty order in effect covering tapered roller bearings from China.  The Company is a producer of these bearings, as well as ball bearings and other bearing types, in the United States.  In 2012, the U.S. government extended this order for an additional five years.  Antidumping duty orders covering ball bearings from Japan and the United Kingdom were sunset by a court order in July 2011, retroactive to July 2005. That court decision, however, was appealed by the U.S. International Trade Commission and the Company, and was reversed by the federal Court of Appeals in May 2013, reinstating these ball bearing orders retroactive to July 2005.  These ball bearing orders are now under periodic U.S. government review to determine whether either or both antidumping duty orders are still necessary, and these are expected to sunset.

Quarterly Dividend:
On February 14, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share. The quarterly dividend will be paid on March 7, 2014 to shareholders of record as of February 24, 2014. This will be the 367th consecutive dividend paid on the common shares of the Company.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk:
Changes in short-term interest rates related to several separate funding sources impact the Company’s earnings. These sources are borrowings under the Asset Securitization Agreement, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, floating rate tax-exempt U.S. municipal bonds with a weekly reset and short-term bank borrowings by its international subsidiaries. If the market rates for short-term borrowings increased by one-percentage-point around the globe, the impact would be an increase in interest expense of $0.3 million annually, with a corresponding decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes of the same amount. This amount was determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on the Company’s borrowing cost, year-end debt balances by category and an estimated impact on the tax-exempt municipal bonds’ interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk:
Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies, including the Euro, also impact the Company’s earnings. The greatest risk relates to products shipped between the Company’s European operations and the United States. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge a portion of these intercompany transactions. Additionally, hedges are used to cover third-party purchases of product and equipment. As of December 31, 2013, there were $516.7 million of hedges in place. A uniform 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would have resulted in a charge of $49.0 million related to these hedges, which would have partially offset the otherwise favorable impact of the underlying currency fluctuation. In addition to the direct impact of the hedged amounts, changes in exchange rates also affect the volume of sales or foreign currency sales price as competitors’ products become more or less attractive.

Commodity Price Risk:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations, primarily related to our purchases of raw materials and energy, principally scrap steel, other ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys and natural gas. Whenever possible, the Company manages its exposure to commodity risks primarily through the use of supplier pricing agreements that enable the Company to establish the purchase prices for certain inputs that are used in our manufacturing and distribution business. Timken utilizes a raw material surcharge as a component of pricing steel to pass through the cost increases of scrap steel and other raw materials, as well as natural gas. From time to time, the Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of its exposure to price risk related to natural gas purchases.

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

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company in which a controlling interest is maintained. Investments in affiliated companies that the Company does not control, and the activities of which it is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when title passes to the customer. This occurs at the shipping point except for goods sold by certain foreign entities and certain exported goods, where title passes when the goods reach their destination. Selling prices are fixed based on purchase orders or contractual arrangements. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net sales and the related costs are included in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company acquired the assets of Philadelphia Gear in July 2011. Philadelphia Gear recognizes a portion of its revenues on the percentage-of-completion method measured on the cost-to-cost basis. In 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized approximately $45 million and $60 million, respectively, in net sales under the percentage-of-completion method.

Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents an estimate of the losses expected from the accounts receivable portfolio, to reduce accounts receivable to their net realizable value. The allowance was based upon historical trends in collections and write-offs, management’s judgment of the probability of collecting accounts and management’s evaluation of business risk. The Company extends credit to customers satisfying pre-defined credit criteria. The Company believes it has limited concentration of credit risk due to the diversity of its customer base.

Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The majority of domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO method and the balance of the Company’s inventories is valued by the FIFO method.

Investments:
Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year and are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company held short-term investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 with a fair value and cost basis of $13.9 million and $17.3 million, respectively, which were included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, plant and equipment, net is valued at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The provision for depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives are approximately 30 years for buildings, three to ten years for computer software and three to 20 years for machinery and equipment.

The impairment of long-lived assets is evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or related group of assets may not be recoverable. If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized at that time to reduce the asset to the lower of its fair value or its net book value.

Table of Contents

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful lives, with useful lives ranging from one to 20 years. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of October first, after the annual forecasting process is completed. Furthermore, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable in accordance with accounting rules related to goodwill and other intangible assets.

Effective October 1, 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08, “Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Effective October 1, 2012, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if indefinite-lived intangibles might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test.

Product Warranties:
The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products. The Company accrues liabilities for warranties based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty claim experience in accordance with accounting rules relating to contingent liabilities. The Company records and accounts for its warranty reserve based on specific claim incidents. Should the Company become aware of a specific potential warranty claim for which liability is probable and reasonably estimable, a specific charge is recorded and accounted for accordingly. Adjustments are made quarterly to the accruals as claim data and historical experience change.

Income Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company recognizes valuation allowances against deferred tax assets by tax jurisdiction when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with ASC 740-10. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

Foreign Currency Translation:
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, other than those located in highly inflationary countries, are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions and the translation of financial statements of subsidiaries in highly inflationary countries are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company realized foreign currency exchange losses of $9.2 million, $6.9 million and $1.4 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits:
The Company recognizes an overfunded status or underfunded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations) as either an asset or a liability for its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss represents the current year net unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized prior service costs. These amounts will be recognized in future periods as net periodic benefit cost.

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the stock-based awards over their required vesting period. Stock options are issued with an exercise price equal to the opening market price of Timken common shares on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates assumptions regarding the expected volatility, the expected option life, the risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend yield. The fair value of stock-based awards that will settle in Timken common shares, other than stock options, is based on the opening market price of Timken common shares on the grant date. The fair value of stock-based awards that will settle in cash are remeasured at each reporting period until settlement of the awards.

Earnings Per Share:
Unvested restricted shares provide for the payment of nonforfeitable dividends. The Company considers these awards as participating securities. Earnings per share are computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income less undistributed earnings allocated to unvested restricted shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income less undistributed earnings allocated to unvested restricted shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive impact of outstanding stock-based awards.

Derivative Instruments:
The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. If the derivative is designated and qualifies as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive loss until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Company’s holdings of forward foreign currency exchange contracts qualify as derivatives pursuant to the criteria established in derivative accounting guidance, and the Company has designated certain of those derivatives as hedges.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 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 4 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for additional information on the new disclosure.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The new accounting rules are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2013-11, if any, on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect recent experience.

Reclassifications:
Certain amounts reported in the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to correct an immaterial error. The Company reclassified $15.1 million from other current assets to restricted cash. In addition, the Company reclassified approximately $12 million from current deferred tax assets to non-current deferred tax assets.

Inventories valued on the LIFO cost method were 54% and the remaining 46% were valued by the FIFO method. If all inventories had been valued at FIFO, inventories would have been $278.3 million and $280.6 million greater at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company recognized a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $2.3 million during 2013 compared to a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $7.1 million during 2012. The decrease in the LIFO reserve recognized during 2013 was due to lower costs and quantities of inventory on hand, as well as the mix of inventory.

In November 2013, the Company finalized the sale of its former manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo. The Company expects to receive approximately $34 million over a twenty-four month period, of which $5.9 million was received as of December 31, 2013. The total costs of this transaction, including the net book value of the real estate and broker's commissions, were approximately $3 million. The Company is recognizing the gain on the sale of this facility using the installment method.

Note 7 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill:
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of October first after the annual forecasting process is completed. Furthermore, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. Prior to 2012, the Company’s reporting units were the same as its reportable segments: Mobile Industries, Process Industries, Aerospace and Steel. During 2012, management began reviewing goodwill for impairment at a level below the segment level for the Process Industries and Aerospace segments. This change was necessitated by a change in management structure, as well as the level of review of financial information by management within the Aerospace segment, and the acquisition of the assets of Philadelphia Gear. Philadelphia Gear is part of the Process Industries segment and provides aftermarket gear box repair services and gear-drive systems for the industrial, energy and military marine market sectors. In 2013, the acquisitions of Wazee, Smith Services and Standard Machine were grouped with Philadelphia Gear to comprise the Process Services reporting unit. The Company still reviews goodwill for impairment at the segment level for the Mobile Industries and Steel segments.

During 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2011-8, “Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Based on a review of various qualitative factors, management concluded that the goodwill for the Mobile Industries and Process Industries Segment, excluding the Process Services reporting unit, was not impaired and that the two-step approach was not required to be performed for these reporting units. Based on a review of various qualitative factors, management concluded that the goodwill for the Steel segment, the Process Services reporting unit and the three reporting units within the Aerospace segment, would be tested under the two-step approach. The Company prepares its goodwill impairment analysis by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit, using an income approach (a discounted cash flow model), as well as a market approach, with its carrying value.

In 2013, 2012 and 2011, no goodwill impairment loss was recorded.

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill were as follows:

Intangible assets acquired in 2013 were $5.9 million for the Standard Machine acquisition, $0.7 million for the Smith Services acquisition and $6.8 million for the Interlube acquisition. Intangible assets subject to amortization acquired in 2013 were assigned useful lives of two to 20 years and had a weighted-average amortization period of 18.4 years. Intangible assets acquired in 2012 were $7.7 million for the Wazee acquisition. Intangible assets subject to amortization acquired in 2012 were assigned useful lives of five to 20 years and had a weighted-average amortization period of 13.6 years.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $18.7 million, $19.0 million and $14.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 8 - Financing Arrangements

Short-term debt for the years ended December 31 was as follows:
 
2013
2012
Variable-rate lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries with
   various banks with interest rates ranging from 0.87% to 4.86% and 0.61% to
   2.28% at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively
$
18.6

$
14.3

Short-term debt
$
18.6

$
14.3

The lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries provide for borrowings up to $217.0 million. Most of these lines of credit are uncommitted. At December 31, 2013, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had borrowings outstanding of $18.6 million and guarantees of $1.2 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $197.2 million.
The weighted-average interest rate on short-term debt during the year was 3.2%, 3.2% and 4.1% in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on short-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 4.6% and 1.5%, respectively.
On November 30, 2012, the Company entered into a $200 million 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 Asset Securitization Agreement are limited to 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 Sheets. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Asset Securitization Agreement. However, certain borrowing base limitations reduced the availability of the Asset Securitization Agreement to $149.3 million at December 31, 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 yield rate was 0.96%, 1.06% and 1.25%, at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Long-term debt for the years ended December 31 was as follows:

Note 8 – Financing Arrangements (continued)


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 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 maturities of long-term debt for the five years subsequent to December 31, 2013 are as follows: 2014$250.7 million; 2015$0.7 million; 2016$15.7 million; 2017$5.0 million; and 2018zero.
Interest paid was $31.0 million in 2013, $32.4 million in 2012 and $34.8 million in 2011. This differs from interest expense due to the timing of payments and interest capitalized of $12.7 million in 2013, $4.9 million in 2012 and $1.2 million in 2011.
The Company and its subsidiaries lease a variety of real property and equipment. Rent expense under operating leases amounted to $44.4 million, $43.6 million and $44.5 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2013, future minimum lease payments for noncancelable operating leases totaled $125.7 million and are payable as follows: 2014$37.9 million; 2015$30.7 million; 2016$21.8 million; 2017$13.8 million; 2018-$8.9 million and $12.6 million thereafter.

Note 9 - Contingencies

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been identified as potentially responsible parties for investigation and remediation under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) or similar state laws with respect to certain sites. Claims for investigation and remediation have been asserted against numerous other entities, which are believed to be financially solvent and are expected to fulfill their proportionate share of the obligation.
The Company had an accrual of $2.6 million and $7.5 million for environmental matters that are probable and reasonably estimable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This accrual is recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties. Of the 2013 accrual, $1.2 million is included in the rollforward of the restructuring accrual as of December 31, 2013, discussed further in Note 10 – Impairment and Restructuring Charges.
In addition, the Company is subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues costs associated with legal and non-income tax matters when they become probable and reasonably estimable. Accruals are established based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows to settle the obligations and are not reduced by any potential recoveries from insurance or other indemnification claims. Management believes that any ultimate liability with respect to these actions, in excess of amounts provided, will not materially affect the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Product Warranties:
In addition to the contingencies above, the Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products. The following is a rollforward of the warranty reserves for 2013 and 2012:

The following discussion explains the major 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, which was expected to be completed in approximately one year, and was intended to consolidate bearing production from this plant with existing U.S. operations to better align the Company's manufacturing footprint and customer base. In connection with this closure, 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 $41.6 million as of December 31, 2013, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold. During 2013, the Company recorded $8.2 million of severance and related benefits, including pension settlement charges of $7.1 million, related to this closure. During 2012, the Company recorded $16.9 million of severance and related benefits, including a curtailment of pension benefits of $10.7 million, and impairment charges of $6.5 million, related to this closure.

In March 2007, the Company announced the closure of its manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo. The Company completed the closure of this manufacturing facility on March 31, 2010. Mobile Industries has incurred cumulative pretax expenses of approximately $54.9 million as of December 31, 2013 related to this closure. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a favorable adjustment of $2.0 million, and exit costs of $6.8 million and $12.5 million, respectively, associated with the closure of this facility. The favorable adjustment for 2013 and exit costs for 2012 primarily related to environmental remediation costs. Exit costs in 2011 also included workers' compensation claims for former employees. The Company accrues environmental remediation costs and workers’ compensation claims when they are probable and reasonably estimable.

Note 10 – Impairment and Restructuring Charges (continued)

In addition to the above charges, the Company recorded a favorable adjustment of $2.7 million during 2012 for environmental exit costs at the site of its former plant in Columbus, Ohio. The favorable adjustment was a result of the sale of the real estate at the site of this former plant during the first quarter of 2012. The buyer assumed responsibility for the environmental remediation as a result of the sale. The buyer was able to obtain funding from the State of Ohio to remediate the site.

Workforce Reductions:
In 2013, the Company began the realignment of its organization to improve efficiency and reduce costs. During 2013, the Company recognized $5.9 million of severance and related benefit costs to eliminate approximately 180 positions. Of the $5.9 million charge for 2013, $1.2 million related to the Aerospace segment, $2.5 million related to the Process Industries segment and $2.2 million related to the Mobile Industries segment

The restructuring accrual at December 31, 2012 excluded costs related to the curtailment of pension benefit plans of $10.7 million. At December 31, 2013, the restructuring accrual included $1.2 million of environmental remediation costs.

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 the rest of the Company through a spinoff, creating a new independent, publicly traded steel company, TimkenSteel Corporation. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to shareholders and should be completed in mid-year 2014, 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 $105 million. The majority of these costs include consulting and professional fees associated with preparing for the spinoff. In addition, these costs include a cost reduction initiative to eliminate corporate positions to mitigate the incremental enterprise costs with operating two separate companies. The expected cost of this cost reduction initiative is expected to be approximately $15 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $5.6 million of severance and related benefit costs related to the cost reduction initiative. The Company also recorded $7.3 million of professional fees related to the planned spinoff of the steel business.

Note 12 - Stock Compensation Plans

Under the Company’s long-term incentive plan, the Company’s common shares have been made available to grant, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, to officers and key employees in the form of stock option awards. Stock option awards typically have a ten-year term and generally vest in 25% increments annually beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. In addition to stock option awards, the Company has granted restricted shares under the long-term incentive plan. Restricted shares typically vest in 25% increments annually beginning on the first year anniversary of the date of grant and are expensed over the vesting period.

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $12.1 million ($7.6 million after tax or $0.08 per diluted share), $10.8 million ($6.8 million after tax or $0.07 per diluted share) and $9.4 million ($5.9 million after tax or $0.06 per diluted share), respectively, for stock option awards.

The fair value of stock option awards granted during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing method with the following assumptions:

Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected dividend yield, expected volatility and the expected lives of the options. The dividend yield was calculated based upon the last dividend prior to the grant compared to the trailing 12 months’ daily stock prices. The risk-free interest rate was based upon yields of U.S. zero coupon issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued. Forfeitures were estimated at 4%.

The unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a total weighted-average period of two years. The number of shares available for future grants for all plans at December 31, 2013 was 7,562,958.

The Company offers to certain employees a performance unit component under its long-term incentive plan in which awards are earned based on Company performance measured by two metrics over a three-year performance period. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors can elect to make payments that become due in the form of cash or the Company’s common shares. A total of 34,756 performance units were granted in 2011. Performance units granted, if fully earned, would represent 156,183 of the Company’s common shares at December 31, 2012.

The discount rate assumption is based on current rates of high-quality long-term corporate bonds over the same period that benefit payments will be required to be made. The expected rate of return on plan assets assumption is based on the weighted-average expected return on the various asset classes in the plans’ portfolio. The asset class return is developed using historical asset return performance as well as current market conditions such as inflation, interest rates and equity market performance.
For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied a discount rate of 4.00% to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. For expense purposes in 2014, the Company will apply a discount rate of 5.02% to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. A 0.25 percentage point decrease in the discount rate would increase pension expense by approximately $5.3 million for 2014.
For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied an expected rate of return of 8.00% for the Company’s U.S. pension plan assets. For expense purposes in 2014, the Company will apply an expected rate of return on plan assets of 7.25%. A 0.25 percentage point reduction in the expected rate of return would increase pension expense by approximately $6.6 million for 2014.

Defined benefit pension plans in the United States represent 84% of the benefit obligation and 87% of the fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2013.
Certain of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans were overfunded as of December 31, 2013. As a result, $342.6 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are included in non-current pension assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion of accrued pension cost, which is included in salaries, wages and benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $6.5 million and $6.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2013, the current portion of accrued pension cost relates to unfunded plans and represents the actuarial present value of expected payments related to the plans to be made over the next 12 months.

The accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 exceeded the market value of plan assets for several of the Company’s pension plans. For these plans, the projected benefit obligation was $600.6 million, the accumulated benefit obligation was $585.8 million and the fair value of plan assets was $415.6 million at December 31, 2013.
The total pension accumulated benefit obligation for all plans was $3.0 billion and $3.4 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Due to significant increases in global capital markets in 2013, investment performance increased the value of the Company’s pension assets by 10.8%.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s defined benefit pension plans did not directly hold any of the Company’s common shares.
The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $71.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Note 13 - Retirement Benefit Plans (continued)

The Company recognizes its overall responsibility to ensure that the assets of its various defined benefit pension plans are managed effectively and prudently and in compliance with its policy guidelines and all applicable laws. Preservation of capital is important; however, the Company also recognizes that appropriate levels of risk are necessary to allow its investment managers to achieve satisfactory long-term results consistent with the objectives and the fiduciary character of the pension funds. Asset allocations are established in a manner consistent with projected plan liabilities, benefit payments and expected rates of return for various asset classes. The expected rate of return for the investment portfolio is based on expected rates of return for various asset classes, as well as historical asset class and fund performance.
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.

Note 13 - Retirement Benefit Plans (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents are valued at redemption value. Government and agency securities are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded. Certain corporate bonds are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the bond is traded. Equity securities (both common and preferred stock) are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual security is traded. Common collective funds are valued based on a net asset value per share. Asset-backed securities are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets. When such prices are unavailable, the plan trustee determines a valuation from the market maker dealing in the particular security.

Limited partnerships include investments in funds that invest primarily in private equity, venture capital and distressed debt. Limited partnerships are valued based on the ownership interest in the net asset value of the investment, which is used as a practical expedient to fair value, per the underlying investment fund, which is based upon the general partner's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the assets and liabilities of the partnership. Real estate investments include funds that invest in companies that primarily invest in commercial and residential properties, commercial mortgage-backed securities, debt and equity securities of real estate operating companies, and real estate investment trusts. Mutual funds – real estate are valued based on the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual security is traded. Other real estate investments are valued based on the ownership interest in the net asset value of the investment, which is used as a practical expedient to fair value per the underlying investment fund, which is based on appraised values and current transaction prices.

Note 14 - Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company and its subsidiaries sponsor several funded and unfunded postretirement plans that provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees and dependents. Depending on retirement date and employee classification, certain health care plans contain contribution and cost-sharing features such as deductibles, coinsurance and limitations on employer-provided subsidies. The remaining health care and life insurance plans are noncontributory.

The discount rate assumption is based on current rates of high-quality long-term corporate bonds over the same period that benefit payments will be required to be made. The expected rate of return on plan assets assumption is based on the weighted-average expected return on the various asset classes in the plans’ portfolio. The asset class return is developed using historical asset return performance as well as current market conditions such as inflation, interest rates and equity market performance.

For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied a discount rate of 3.80% to its postretirement benefit plans. For expense purposes in 2014, the Company will apply a discount rate of 4.59% to its postretirement benefit plans. A 0.25 percentage point reduction in the discount rate would increase postretirement benefit expense by approximately $0.5 million for 2014.

In December 2010, the Company established a VEBA trust for The Timken Company Bargaining Unit Welfare Benefit Plan. For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied an expected rate of return of 5.00% to the VEBA trust assets. For expense purposes in 2014, the Company will apply an expected rate of return on plan assets of 5.00%. A 0.25 percentage point reduction in the expected rate of return would increase postretirement benefit expense by approximately $0.6 million for 2014.

The current portion of accrued postretirement benefit cost, which is included in salaries, wages and benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $41.6 million and $45.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2013, the current portion of accrued postretirement benefit cost related to unfunded plans and represents the actuarial present value of expected payments related to the plans to be made over the next 12 months.

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for the postretirement plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are zero expense and $1.4 million of expense, respectively.

For measurement purposes, the Company assumed a weighted-average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost (health care cost trend rate) for medical benefits of 7.25% for 2014, declining gradually to 5.0% in 2023 and thereafter; and 7.25% for 2014, declining gradually to 5.0% in 2023 and thereafter for prescription drug benefits; and 9.25% for 2014, declining gradually to 5.0% in 2031 and thereafter for HMO benefits.

The assumed health care cost trend rate may have a significant effect on the amounts reported. A one percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have increased the 2013 total service and interest cost components by $0.5 million and would have increased the postretirement benefit obligation by $10.4 million. A one percentage point decrease would provide corresponding reductions of $0.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Medicare Act) provides for prescription drug benefits under Medicare Part D and contains a subsidy to plan sponsors who provide “actuarially equivalent” prescription plans. The Company’s actuary determined that the prescription drug benefit provided by the Company’s postretirement plan is considered to be actuarially equivalent to the benefit provided under the Medicare Act. In accordance with ASC 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits,” all measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the financial statements or accompanying notes reflect the effects of the Medicare Act on the plan for the entire fiscal year. The 2013 expected subsidy was $3.1 million, of which $1.4 million was received prior to December 31, 2013.

Plan Assets:
The Company’s target allocation for the VEBA trust assets, as well as the actual VEBA trust asset allocation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, was as follows:

The Company recognizes its overall responsibility to ensure that the assets of its postretirement benefit plan are managed effectively and prudently and in compliance with its policy guidelines and all applicable laws.

Preservation of capital is important; however, the Company also recognizes that appropriate levels of risk are necessary to allow its investment managers to achieve satisfactory long-term results consistent with the objectives and the fiduciary character of the postretirement funds. Asset allocations are established in a manner consistent with projected plan liabilities, benefit payments and expected rates of return for various asset classes. The expected rate of return for the investment portfolio is based on expected rates of return for various asset classes, as well as historical asset class and fund performance.

Note 15 - Segment Information

The Company operates under four reporting segments: (1) Mobile Industries; (2) Process Industries; (3) Aerospace; and (4) Steel.

Description of types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues:
The Company's reportable segments are business units that target different industry sectors. Each reportable segment is managed separately to address specific customer needs in these diverse market segments.

The Mobile Industries segment includes global sales of bearings, mechanical power transmission components, drive-chains, roller-chains, augers and related products and services (other than steel) to a diverse customer base, including original equipment manufacturers and their suppliers of passenger cars, light trucks, medium to heavy-duty trucks, rail cars, locomotives, agricultural, construction and mining equipment. The Mobile Industries segment also includes aftermarket distribution operations for automotive and heavy truck applications.

The Process Industries segment includes global sales of bearings, mechanical power transmission components, industrial chains, augers and related products and services (other than steel) to a diverse customer base including original equipment manufacturers in the power transmission, energy and heavy industry market sectors. The Process Industries segment also includes aftermarket distribution operations for products other than steel and automotive applications.

The Aerospace segment includes sales of bearings, helicopter transmission systems, rotor head assemblies, turbine engine components, gears and other precision flight-critical components for commercial and military aviation applications. The Aerospace segment also provides aftermarket services, including repair and overhaul of engines, transmissions and fuel controls as well as aerospace bearing repair and component reconditioning. The Aerospace segment also includes sales of precision bearings and related products for health and critical motion control applications.

The Steel segment manufactures alloy steel as well as carbon and micro-alloy steel. Included in its portfolio are SBQ bars and seamless mechanical tubing.  In addition, this segment supplies machining and thermal treatment services, as well as manages raw material recycling programs. This segment's metallurgical expertise and unique operational capabilities drive customized, high-value solutions for the mobile, industrial and energy sectors. Less than 10% of the Company's steel is directly consumed in its bearing operations. In addition, the Company sells steel to other anti-friction bearing companies and to aircraft, forging, construction, industrial equipment, mining, tooling, oil and gas drilling and automotive industries and steel service centers.

Measurement of segment profit or loss and segment assets:
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on return on capital and profitable growth. The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is EBIT.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at values based on market prices, which creates intercompany profit on intersegment sales or transfers that is eliminated in consolidation.

Factors used by management to identify the enterprise’s reportable segments:
Net sales by geographic area are reported by the destination of net sales, which is reflective of how the Company operates its segments. Long-lived assets by geographic area are reported by the location of the subsidiary.

Export sales from the United States and Canada are less than 10% of the Company's revenue. The Company’s Mobile Industries, Process Industries and Aerospace segments have historically participated in the global bearing industry, while the Steel segment has concentrated primarily on U.S. customers.

Timken’s non-U.S. operations are subject to normal international business risks not generally applicable to domestic business. These risks include currency fluctuation, changes in tariff restrictions, difficulties in establishing and maintaining relationships with local distributors and dealers, import and export licensing requirements, difficulties in staffing and managing geographically diverse operations and restrictive regulations by foreign governments, including price and exchange controls.

Note 16 - Income Taxes (continued)


In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company implemented a strategy to repatriate approximately $365 million of cash, incurring tax expense of approximately $26 million. The Company repatriated $123 million of cash in January 2014, with the remaining portion expected to be repatriated in future periods. In connection with various investment arrangements, the Company has been granted a “holiday” from income taxes for one affiliate in Asia for 2013 and 2012 and two affiliates in Asia for 2011. These agreements began to expire at the end of 2010, with full expiration in 2018. In total, the agreements reduced income tax expense by $0.7 million in 2013, $1.0 million in 2012 and $1.0 million in 2011. These savings resulted in an increase to earnings per diluted share of $0.01 in 2013, $0.01 in 2012 and $0.01 in 2011.
Income tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes. The Company had undistributed earnings related to its international subsidiaries of $577.9 million and $544.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. A deferred tax liability of $8.7 million has been accrued at December 31, 2013 for earnings of $136.1 million (relating to the$365 million cash repatriation strategy) that are available to be repatriated to the U.S. No provisions for U.S. income taxes have been made with respect to earnings of $441.8 million that are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States. The amount of U.S. income taxes that may be applicable to such earnings is $23.3 million if such earnings were repatriated, net of foreign tax credits.
The effect of temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

The Company has a U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward of $19.9 million that will begin to expire in 2018, and U.S. state and local credit carryforwards of $2.1 million, portions of which will expire in 2014. The Company also has U.S. state and local loss carryforwards with tax benefits totaling $1.0 million, portions of which will expire at the end of 2014. In addition, the Company has loss carryforwards in various non-U.S. jurisdictions with tax benefits totaling $143.4 million having various expiration dates, as well as tax credit carryforwards of $0.2 million. The Company has provided valuation allowances of $162.2 million against certain of these carryforwards. The majority of the non-U.S. loss carryforwards represent local country net operating losses for branches of the Company or entities treated as branches of the Company under U.S. tax law. Tax benefits have been recorded for these losses in the United States. The related local country net operating loss carryforwards are offset fully by valuation allowances. In addition to loss and credit carryforwards, the Company has provided valuation allowances of $33.7 million against other deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $49.5 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits. Included in this amount was $35.8 million, which represented the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would favorably impact the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future periods if such benefits were recognized. As of December 31, 2013, the Company anticipates a decrease in its unrecognized tax positions of approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million during the next 12 months. The anticipated decrease is primarily due to settlements with tax authorities and the expiration of various statutes of limitation. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had accrued $9.8 million of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

Note 16 - Income Taxes (continued)


As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $112.6 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits. Included in this amount was $47.5 million, which represented the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would favorably impact the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future periods if such benefits were recognized. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued $11.3 million of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

During 2013, gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased primarily due to net reductions related to various current year and prior year tax matters, including settlement of tax matters with government authorities and taxes related to the Companys international operations. These decreases were partially offset by additions related to prior year tax matters, including certain U.S. federal taxes, U.S. state and local taxes and taxes related to the Companys international operations.
During 2012, gross unrecognized tax benefits increased primarily due to net additions related to various prior year tax matters, including U.S. state and local taxes, and taxes related to the Company’s international operations. These increases were partially offset by reductions related to prior year tax matters, including U.S. state and local taxes and taxes related to the Company’s international operations, settlement of tax matters with government authorities and lapses in statutes of limitation on various tax matters.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company is subject to examination by the IRS for tax years 2012 to the present. The Company is also subject to tax examination in various U.S. state and local tax jurisdictions for tax years 2006 to the present, as well as various foreign tax jurisdictions, including Germany, Italy and India for tax years 2002 to the present. The current portion of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits was presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within income taxes payable, and the non-current portion was presented as a component of other non-current liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are valued at redemption value. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year and are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts.
The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparts to its financial instruments.

During 2012, machinery and equipment primarily associated with the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas with a carrying value of $10.4 million was written down to its fair value of $3.8 million, resulting in an impairment loss of $6.6 million. The fair value of these assets was based on the price that would be expected to be received in a current transaction to sell the assets on a standalone basis, considering the age and physical attributes of the equipment, compared to the cost of similar used equipment. The fair value of machinery and equipment was measured using Level 3 inputs.
 
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 $474.5 million and $481.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $441.6 million and $424.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 18 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted revenue denominated in foreign currencies. Other forward exchange contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of the Company’s commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Forward contracts on various commodities are entered into in order to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of natural gas used in the Company’s manufacturing process. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed and floating-rate borrowings.

The Company designates certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenues and certain interest rate hedges as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings. The majority of the Company’s natural gas forward contracts are not subject to any hedge designation as they are considered within the normal purchases exemption.

The Company does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $516.7 million and $97.0 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value. Refer to Note 16 – Fair Value for the fair value disclosure of derivative financial instruments,

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy:
For certain derivative instruments that are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion), or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income during the current period.

To protect against a reduction in the value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales over the next year, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted intra-group revenue or expense denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts. When the dollar strengthens significantly against foreign currencies, the decline in the present value of future foreign currency revenue is offset by gains in the fair value of the forward contracts designated as hedges. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is offset by losses in the fair value of the forward contracts.

Fair Value Hedging Strategy:
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the same line item associated with the hedged item (i.e., in “interest expense” when the hedged item is fixed-rate debt).


Note 19 - Research and Development
The Company performs research and development under Company-funded programs and under contracts with the federal government and others. Expenditures committed to research and development amounted to $46.1 million, $52.6 million and $49.6 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $0.4 million, $0.8 million, and $0.3 million respectively, were funded by others. Expenditures may fluctuate from year-to-year depending on special projects and needs.

Note 20 - 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. The Company reported CDSOA expense of $2.8 million and income of $108.0 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Timken Company and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Timken Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a).  These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The Timken Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), The Timken Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) and our report dated February 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
There have been no changes during the Company’s fourth quarter of 2013 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of The Timken Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Timken’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Timken management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment under COSO’s “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992 framework),” management believes that, as of December 31, 2013, Timken’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.
On March 11, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Interlube Systems Ltd. (Interlube). On April 11, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Smith Services, Inc. (Smith Services). On May 13, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Hamilton Gear Ltd., d/b/a Standard Machine (Standard Machine). As permitted by SEC guidance, the scope of Timken’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 did not include the internal control over financial reporting of Interlube, Smith Services and Standard Machine. The results of Interlube, Smith Services and Standard Machine are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning March 11, 2013, April 11, 2013, and May 13, 2013, respectively. The total assets of Interlube, Smith Services and Standard Machine represented less than two percent, collectively, of the Company’s total assets at December 31, 2013. Net sales of Interlube, Smith Services and Standard Machine represented less than one percent, collectively, of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year then ended and less than one percent, collectively, of net income for the year then ended. The Company will include Interlube, Smith Services and Standard Machine in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting assessment as of December 31, 2014.
Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on our assessment of Timken’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, which is presented below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Timken Company and subsidiaries

We have audited The Timken Company and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the COSO criteria). The Timken Company and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, The Timken Company and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of The Timken Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated February 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
