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

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for The Timken Company (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and notes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.


Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360)." ASU 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations or that have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

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. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Note 3 - Spinoff Transaction

On June 30, 2014, the Company completed the separation of its steel business from its bearings and power transmission business through a spinoff, creating a new independent publicly traded company, TimkenSteel Corporation (TimkenSteel). The Company's board of directors declared a distribution of all outstanding common shares of TimkenSteel through a dividend. At the close of business on June 30, 2014, the Company's shareholders received one common share of TimkenSteel for every two common shares of the Company they held as of the close of business on June 23, 2014.

The operating results, net of tax, included one-time transaction costs of $10.1 million and $54.7 million in connection with the separation of the two companies for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively. These costs primarily consisted of consulting and professional fees associated with preparing for and executing the spinoff, as well as lease cancellation fees.

The following table presents the results of operations for TimkenSteel that have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Note 4 - Acquisitions

On April 28, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of assets from: (a) Maine Industrial Repair Services, Inc.; (b) Schulz Electric Company; (c) S.E.C. Electrical; and (d) Stultz Electric Motor & Controls, collectively d/b/a Schulz Group (Schulz), for $12.0 million in cash. Schulz provides electric motor and generator repairs, motor rewinds, custom controls and panels, systems integration, pump services, machine rebuilds, hydro services and diagnostics for a broad range of commercial and industrial applications. Schulz serves customers nationwide in the commercial nuclear power market sector, as well as regionally in the hydro and fossil fuel market sectors, water management, paper and general manufacturing sectors in the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions. Based in New Haven, Connecticut, Schulz employs 125 associates and had 2013 sales of approximately $18.0 million. The Company reported the results for Schulz in the Process Industries segment.

Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions were not significant to the Company's income from continuing operations before income taxes or total assets in 2014.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with approximately 30% valued by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and the remaining 70% valued by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The majority of the Company's domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO method and all of the Company's international (outside the United States) inventories are valued by the FIFO method.

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

The LIFO reserves at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $197.6 million and $199.3 million, respectively. The Company recognized a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $1.7 million during the first nine months of 2014, compared to an increase in its LIFO reserve of $3.1 million during the first nine months of 2013.

Based on current expectations of inventory levels and costs, the Company expects to recognize a decrease of approximately $2.1 million in its LIFO reserve for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in the LIFO reserve for 2014 reflects lower anticipated costs. A 1.0% increase in costs would increase the current LIFO expense estimate for 2014 by $3.5 million. An increase in inventory quantities would have no effect on the current LIFO expense estimate for 2014.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an inventory valuation adjustment of $18.7 million related to its Aerospace segment. The Company recorded this adjustment during the third quarter of 2014 as a result of the announcement to exit the engine overhaul business, as well as other product lines, and lower than expected future sales. The Company expects to dispose of the related inventory during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $90.0 million and $93.4 million, respectively. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, machinery and equipment included $48.6 million and $63.3 million, respectively, of capitalized software. Depreciation expense on capitalized software for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $8.3 million and $17.6 million, respectively. Capitalized interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

In November 2013, the Company finalized the sale of its former manufacturing site in Sao Paulo, Brazil (Sao Paulo). The Company expects to receive approximately $34 million over a twenty-four month period, of which $17.2 million was received as of September 30, 2014. The total cost of this transaction, including the net book value of the real estate and broker's commissions, was approximately $3 million. The Company began recognizing the gain on the sale of this site using the installment method. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a gain of $5.4 million ($5.4 million after tax). In the first quarter of 2014, the Company changed to the full accrual method of recognizing the gain after it had received 25% of the total sales value. As a result, the Company recognized the remaining gain of $22.6 million ($19.5 million after tax) related to this transaction during the first quarter of 2014. During the first nine months of 2014, the Company also recorded interest income of $1.8 million on deferred payments related to this transaction.

ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other," requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested at least annually for impairment. The Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter 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 reviewing goodwill for impairment, potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit using an income approach (a discounted cash flow model) and a market approach, with its carrying value.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment for its three reporting units within the Aerospace segment as a result of declining sales forecasts and financial performance within the segment. The Company utilizes both an income approach and a market approach in testing goodwill for impairment. The Company utilized updated forecasts for the income approach as part of the goodwill impairment review. As a result of the lower earnings and cash flow forecasts, the Company determined that the Drive Systems and the Aerospace Aftermarket reporting units could not support the carrying value of their goodwill. As a result, the Company recorded a pretax impairment loss of $86.3 million during the third quarter of 2014, which was reported in impairment and restructuring charges in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The change related to acquisitions reflects the preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Schulz completed on April 28, 2014. The goodwill acquired from Schulz of $2.9 million is tax-deductible and will be amortized over 15 years. “Other” primarily includes foreign currency translation adjustments. See Note 4 - Acquisitions for additional information on the acquisition listed above.

Note 8 - Financing Arrangements

Short-term debt at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:
 
September 30,
2014
December 31,
2013
Variable-rate lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries with various banks with interest rates ranging from 0.65% to 6.16% at September 30, 2014 and interest rates ranging from 0.87% to 4.86% at December 31, 2013.
$

Short-term debt
$

$
18.6


The lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries provide for short-term borrowings up to $238.9 million. Most of these lines of credit are uncommitted. At September 30, 2014, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had borrowings outstanding of $8.7 million and guarantees of $4.9 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $225.3 million.

On April 30, 2014, the Company reduced its aggregate borrowing available under its Amended and Restated Asset Securitization Agreement (Asset Securitization Agreement) from $200 million to $100 million. This agreement matures on November 30, 2015. Under the terms of the Asset Securitization Agreement, the Company sells, on an ongoing basis, certain domestic trade receivables to Timken Receivables Corporation, a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, that in turn uses the trade receivables to secure borrowings, which are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial paper in the short-term market. Borrowings under the agreement are limited by certain borrowing base calculations. Any amounts outstanding under this Asset Securitization Agreement would be reported in short-term debt in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Asset Securitization Agreement, and as a result of certain borrowing base limitations, its availability under the Asset Securitization Agreement was $87.1 million at September 30, 2014. 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.

Long-term debt at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:
 
September 30,
2014

The Company has a $500 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Senior Credit Facility), which matures on May 11, 2016. At September 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 2014, the Company was in full compliance with both of these covenants under the Senior Credit Facility.

On August 20, 2014, the Company issued $350 million of fixed-rated 3.875%Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on September 1, 2024 (2024 Notes). The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes to repay the Company's fixed-rate 6.00% Senior Unsecured Notes that matured on September 15, 2014 and for general corporate purposes.

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

Mobile Industries

In May 2012, the Company announced the closure of its manufacturing facility in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada (St. Thomas), which was intended to consolidate bearing production from this plant with its existing U.S. operations to better align the Company's manufacturing footprint with customer demand. 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 $60 million in connection with this closure, of which approximately $20 million to $25 million is expected to be pretax cash costs.




19



The Company has incurred pretax costs related to this closure of approximately $42.4 million as of September 30, 2014, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold. During the first nine months of 2014, the Company recorded $0.8 million of severance and related benefits, including pension settlement charges of $0.7 million, related to this closure. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $1.5 million of severance and related benefits related to pension settlement charges of $1.5 million. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company recorded $7.8 million of severance and related benefits, including pension settlement charges of $6.7 million, related to this closure.

In addition to the above charges, the Company incurred $2.3 million of severance and related benefit costs related to the rationalization of one of its facilities in Europe during the first nine months of 2014.

Aerospace:

On September 8, 2014, the Company announced plans to: eliminate its Aerospace segment leadership positions and integrate aerospace activities under the direction of Christopher A. Coughlin, executive vice president and group president; close its aerospace engine overhaul business, located in Mesa, Arizona, by the end of the year; evaluate strategic alternatives for its aerospace MRO parts business, also located in Mesa; and close its aerospace bearing facility located in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, rationalizing the capacity into existing facilities, with timing to be finalized at a later date. In conjunction with this announcement, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment for its three reporting units within the Aerospace segment as a result of declining sales forecasts and financial performance within the segment. As a result of that review, the Company recorded a pretax goodwill impairment charge of $86.3 million during the third quarter of 2014 related to its Drive Systems and Aerospace Aftermarket reporting units. In addition, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $9.9 million, an impairment charge of $1.2 million for its overhaul business, which it classified as assets held for sale and severance and related benefits of $0.3 million. See Note 17 - Fair Value for additional information on the impairment charges for the Aerospace segment.

Workforce Reductions:

During 2013, the Company began the realignment of its organization to improve efficiency and reduce costs. During the first nine months of 2014, the Company recognized $2.8 million of severance and related benefit costs to eliminate approximately 30 positions. Of the $2.8 million charge for the first nine months of 2014, $1.5 million related to the Mobile Industries segment, $1.2 million related to the Process Industries segment, and $0.1 million related to the Aerospace segment.

The following is a rollforward of the consolidated restructuring accrual for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2013:

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to measure the net periodic cost for the defined benefit pension plans for the nine months of 2014:

Assumptions
 
U.S. Plans:
 
Discount rate
5.02
%
Future compensation assumption
3.00
%
Expected long-term return on plan assets
7.25
%
International Plans:
 
Discount rate
3.25% to 9.75%

Future compensation assumption
2.30% to 8.00%

Expected long-term return on plan assets
3.00% to 8.50%


21



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.
As a result of the spinoff of TimkenSteel, the Company remeasured its defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. and the United Kingdom prior to the spinoff. The discount rate used to measure net periodic benefit cost represents a blend between the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 and the discount rate used to remeasure the benefit obligation prior to the spinoff.

The presentation in the above tables for amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is before the effect of income taxes.
The actual return on plan assets in the table on the prior page represents the expected rate of return on plans that were not remeasured in 2014 and actual returns on plans that were remeasured in 2014 up to the date of the remeasurement and expected rate of returns subsequent to the remeasurement.
The following table summarizes assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plans at September 30, 2014:
Assumptions
 
U.S. Plans:
 
Discount rate
4.68
%
Future compensation assumption
3.00
%
International Plans:
 
Discount rate
3.25% to 9.75%

Future compensation assumption
2.30% to 8.00%

The discount rate used to remeasure the benefit obligation represents the rate used at the latest period that the defined benefit pension plans were remeasured, which could be the rate at December 31, 2013 for plans that were not remeasured during 2014 or the date at which they were remeasured in 2014.
Defined benefit pension plans in the United States represent 81% of the benefit obligation and 84% of the fair value of plan assets as of September 30, 2014.
Certain of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans were overfunded as of September 30, 2014. As a result, $259.7 million at September 30, 2014 was 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 $5.6 million at September 30, 2014. In 2014, 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.


23



The accumulated benefit obligation at September 30, 2014 exceeded the market value of plan assets for several of the Company’s pension plans. For these plans, the projected benefit obligation was $172.4 million, the accumulated benefit obligation was $161.3 million and the fair value of plan assets was $33.2 million at September 30, 2014.
The total pension accumulated benefit obligation for all plans was approximately $2.0 billion at September 30, 2014.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan Assets:
The Company’s target allocation for US pension plan assets, as well as the actual pension plan asset allocations as of September 30, 2014, was as follows:

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.

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.










25



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.

Assumptions
 
Discount rate

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.
As a result of the spinoff of TimkenSteel, the Company remeasured its postretirement benefit plans prior to the spinoff. The discount rate used to measure net periodic benefit cost represents a blend between the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 and the discount rate used to remeasure the benefit obligation prior to the spinoff.

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.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2014 ($2.2 million tax benefit on loss of $12.4 million) was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, non-deductible intangible asset impairment charges recorded in the Aerospace segment, and certain discrete tax expenses. These factors were partially offset by earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is lower than 35%, including the gain on sale of land in Brazil, U.S. state and local taxes, tax benefits related to foreign tax credits and the U.S. manufacturing deduction.

The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2014 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is lower than 35%, including the gain on sale of land in Brazil, tax benefits related to foreign tax credits, the U.S. manufacturing deduction and other discrete net income tax benefits. These factors were partially offset by the losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, non-deductible intangible asset impairment charges recorded in the Aerospace segment, and U.S. state and local taxes.


Note 17 - Fair Value

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

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

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

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

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

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

During the first nine months of 2014, assets held for sale of $8.0 million and assets held and used of $112.5 million were written down to their fair value of $6.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively, and impairment charges of $1.2 million and $97.6 million, respectively, were included in earnings.

On September 8, 2014, the Company announced plans to: eliminate its Aerospace segment leadership positions and integrate aerospace activities under the direction of Christopher A. Coughlin, executive vice president and group president; close its aerospace engine overhaul business, located in Mesa, Arizona, by the end of the year; evaluate strategic alternatives for its aerospace MRO parts business, also located in Mesa; and close its aerospace bearing facility located in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, rationalizing the capacity into existing facilities, with timing to be determined.

Assets held for sale of $8.0 million associated with the Company's aerospace overhaul business were written down to their fair value of $6.8 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $1.2 million. The fair value of these assets was based on the price that the Company expected to receive to sell these assets.
   

32



In conjunction with the Aerospace announcement, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment for its Drive Systems and Aerospace Aftermarket reporting units. Step one of the goodwill impairment test failed for both of these reporting units. Therefore, the Company conducted step two of the goodwill impairment test. The carrying value of goodwill for the Drive Systems reporting unit was $56.9 million, and the carrying value of the Aerospace Aftermarket reporting unit was $35.6 million. The implied fair value of goodwill for the Drive Systems reporting unit was $1.7 million, and the implied fair value of the Aerospace Aftermarket reporting unit was $4.5 million. As a result of the carrying value of goodwill for these two reporting units exceeding fair value, the Company recorded a pretax impairment charge of $86.3 million during the third quarter of 2014.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets that were classified as assets held and used associated with the Company's Aerospace Aftermarket reporting unit with a carrying value of $14.2 million were written down to their fair value of $8.7 million resulting in an impairment charge of $5.5 million. In conjunction with the Aerospace announcement, the Company also reviewed indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Aerospace segment for impairment. The fair value for these intangible assets was based on a relief from royalty method.

Intangible assets that were classified as assets held and used associated with the Company's Aerospace Aftermarket reporting unit with a carrying value of $4.4 million were written down to their fair value of zero resulting in an impairment charge of $4.4 million. The fair value for these intangible assets was based on the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the assets on a standalone basis.

Various items of property, plant and equipment, with a carrying value of $1.4 million, were written down to their fair value of zero, resulting in an impairment charge of $1.4 million. The fair value for these assets was based on the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the assets on a standalone basis, considering the age and physical attributes of these items, as these assets had been idled.


Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, 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, restricted cash, 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 $559.5 million and $474.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $529.4 million and $441.6 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of long-term fixed-debt was measured using Level 2 inputs.

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

Overview

Introduction:

The Timken Company engineers, manufactures and markets Timken® bearings, transmissions, gearboxes, chain and related products, and offers a spectrum of rebuild and repair services around the world. The leading authority on tapered roller bearings, Timken today applies its deep knowledge of metallurgy, tribology and power transmission across the broad spectrum of bearings and related systems to improve the reliability and efficiency of machinery and equipment all around the world. Known for its quality products and collaborative technical sales model, Timken focuses on providing value to diversified markets worldwide through both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket channels. With approximately 17,000 people operating from 28 countries, Timken makes the world more productive and keeps industry in motion. The Company operates under three segments: (1) Mobile Industries; (2) Process Industries; and (3) Aerospace. The following further describes these business segments:

Mobile Industries offers an extensive portfolio of bearings, seals, lubrication devices and systems, as well as power transmission components, engineered chain, augers and related products and maintenance services to OEMs of: off-highway equipment for the agricultural, construction and mining markets; on-highway vehicles including passenger cars, light trucks and medium- and heavy-duty trucks; and rail cars and locomotives. Beyond service parts sold to the OEMs, aftermarket sales to individual end users, equipment owners, operators and maintenance shops are handled through the Company's extensive network of authorized automotive and heavy-truck distributors, and include hub units, specialty kits and more.

Process Industries supplies industrial bearings and assemblies, power transmission components including gears and gearboxes, couplings, seals, lubricants, chains and related products and services to OEMs and end-users in industries that place heavy demands on operating equipment they make or use. This includes metals, mining, cement and aggregate production; coal and wind power generation; oil and gas; pulp and paper in applications including printing presses, cranes, hoists, drawbridges, wind energy turbines, gear drives, drilling equipment, coal conveyors, marine equipment and food processing equipment. This segment also supports aftermarket sales and service needs through its global network of authorized industrial distributors. In addition, the Company’s industrial services group offers end users a broad portfolio of maintenance support and capabilities that include repair and service for bearings and gearboxes as well as electric motor rewind, repair and services.

Aerospace provides power transmission systems and flight-critical components for civil and military aircraft. The Aerospace portfolio includes bearings, helicopter transmission systems, rotor-head assemblies, turbine engine components, gears and housings, with a focus on the entire lifecycle of aircraft. Timken aerospace products are integrated into gas turbine engines and gearboxes, helicopter transmission systems, rotor systems, landing gear, instrumentation and guidance systems, for example. In addition to original equipment parts and systems, the segment also provides aftermarket products and services, including complete engine overhaul, aerospace bearing repair, component reconditioning and replacement parts. This segment also manufactures precision bearings, complex assemblies and sensors for applications in spacecraft and robotic vehicles including the Mars Rover Curiosity, as well as for manufacturers of health and critical motion control equipment. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company will report the Aerospace business results primarily within the Mobile Industries segment and it will no longer be a separate reporting segment.
 
For nearly 100 years, the Company also made and marketed steel within its steel business. However, on June 30, 2014, The Timken Company announced that it had completed the spinoff of its steel business into a separate independent publicly traded company, TimkenSteel. The Company's Board of Directors declared a distribution of all outstanding common shares of TimkenSteel through a dividend. At the close of business on June 30, 2014, the Company's shareholders received one common share of TimkenSteel for every two common shares of the Company they held as of the close of business on June 23, 2014. The steel business has been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.



34



Currently, the Company focuses its strategy on creating value that leads to growth and sustained levels of profitability. The Company works to create value by:

Expanding in new and existing markets by applying the Timken team’s knowledge of metallurgy, friction management and mechanical power transmission to create value for our customers. Using a highly collaborative technical selling model, the Company places particular emphasis on creating unique solutions for challenging and/or demanding applications. The Company intends to grow in attractive market sectors, emphasizing those spaces that are highly fragmented, demand high service and value the reliability and efficiency offered by the Company's products. The Company also targets those applications that offer significant aftermarket demand, thereby providing product and services revenue throughout the equipment’s lifetime.

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

The following items highlight the Company's most recent accomplishments:

On July 9, 2014, the Company launched the XSell Project and is investing $22 million in new sales and pricing management tools to increase effectiveness and improve the overall customer experience. This includes transforming territory planning, sales call planning and reporting, customer data and opportunity management, as well as sales support activities. As part of the $60 million DeltaX initiative announced in June 2014, the XSell project will leverage the SAP infrastructure deployed throughout our global operations over the past several years. It will provide the global sales team with new customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities, as well as more consistent, mobility-enabled sales processes and business tools.

On September 8, 2014, the Company announced plans to: eliminate its Aerospace segment leadership positions and integrate aerospace activities under the direction of Christopher A. Coughlin, executive vice president and group president; close its aerospace engine overhaul business, located in Mesa, Arizona, by the end of the year; evaluate strategic alternatives for its aerospace MRO parts business, also located in Mesa; and close its aerospace bearing facility located in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, rationalizing the capacity into existing facilities, with timing to be determined. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company will report the Aerospace business results primarily within the Mobile Industries segment and it will no longer be a separate reporting segment.

On October 28, 2014, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission that included an earnings release issued that same day reporting results for the third quarter of 2014, which was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 thereto (the Earnings Release). The Earnings Release reported a consolidated net loss attributable to the Company of $14.8 million, or a loss of $0.16 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and net income attributable to the Company of $131.4 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.43, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Between the issuance of the Earnings Release and the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company recorded additional non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $8.4 million ($7.1 million after tax), or $0.08 per share, related to its Aerospace segment.

The increase in sales for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 was primarily driven by higher volume in the Process Industries segment. The Company's net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2014 was lower than the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to goodwill impairment and inventory valuation adjustments for the Aerospace segment, partially offset by the impact of higher volume and mix, lower manufacturing and raw material costs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

The increase in sales for the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 was primarily driven by higher volume in the Process Industries segment, partially offset by lower volume in the Mobile Industries segment. The Company's net income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2014 was lower than the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to goodwill impairment and inventory valuation adjustments for the Aerospace segment, partially offset by higher volume, gain on the sale of the Company's former manufacturing site in Sao Paulo and lower manufacturing and raw material costs. The decrease in net income from discontinued operations for the first nine

36



months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 was primarily due to the separation costs related to the spinoff of TimkenSteel.

Outlook:

The Company expects 2014 full-year sales to increase approximately 2% compared to 2013, primarily driven by higher organic growth in targeted sectors, including wind energy and rail, as well as the industrial aftermarket, and the benefit of acquisitions. The Company's earnings from continuing operations are expected to be lower in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to Aerospace segment restructuring and impairment charges, as well as pension settlement costs, partially offset by higher volume, strong manufacturing performance and the impact from cost-reduction initiatives.

The Company expects to generate cash from continuing operations of approximately $305 million in 2014, compared to $282.5 million in 2013, as the Company anticipates lower cash used for income taxes and lower pension contributions, partially offset by lower net income. Pension contributions are expected to be approximately $20 million in 2014, compared to $73.3 million in 2013. The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $115 million in 2014, compared to $133.7 million in 2013.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2014 increased approximately $57 million, or 7.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to higher volume of approximately $75 million, driven by increases in the Process Industries' wind energy market sector and industrial aftermarket and the Mobile Industries' rail market sector, partially offset by planned program exits in the Mobile Industries segment that concluded in 2013 of approximately $20 million.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2014 increased approximately $28 million, or 1.2%, compared to the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to higher volume of approximately $115 million, driven by increases in the Process Industries' wind energy market sector and industrial aftermarket and the Mobile Industries' rail market sector, as well as the impact of acquisitions of approximately $20 million.

Gross profit increased in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to the impact of higher volume and favorable mix of approximately $40 million and lower material and manufacturing costs of approximately $15 million. These factors were partially offset by inventory valuation adjustments of approximately $20 million in the Aerospace segment and the impact of planned program exits in the Mobile Industries segment that concluded in 2013 of approximately $10 million.

Gross profit increased in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to the impact of higher volume of approximately $60 million and lower raw material and manufacturing costs of approximately $35 million.

Impairment and restructuring charges of $99.4 million and $108.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, were primarily due to goodwill and other intangible impairment charges of $97.7 million in the Aerospace segment that were recorded in the third quarter of 2014. Impairment and restructuring charges of $3.7 million and $11.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, were primarily due to the recognition of severance and related benefits, including $1.5 million and $6.7 million of pension settlement charges, respectively, related to the closure of the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas and the reorganization of one of the Company's U.S. plants.

The decrease in the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2014 ($2.2 million tax benefit on a loss of $12.4 million) compared to the third quarter of 2013 ($19.9 million tax expense on income of $54.7 million) was primarily due to the losses at foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, the U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, non-deductible intangible asset impairment charges recorded in the Aerospace segment, the expiration of the U.S. research tax credit at the end of 2013 and certain discrete tax expenses. These factors were offset by earnings in foreign jurisdictions where the tax rate is less than 35%, including the gain on sale of land in Brazil, higher benefits from the foreign tax credit, higher U.S. manufacturing deduction, lower U.S. state and local taxes.

The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 was primarily due to lower losses at foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, earnings in foreign jurisdictions where the tax rate is less than 35%, including the gain on sale of land in Brazil, lower U.S. state and local taxes, higher benefits from the foreign tax credit and a higher U.S. manufacturing deduction.

Business Segments

The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is EBIT. Refer to Note 12 - 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 2014 and 2013 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 first quarter of 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Interlube Systems Ltd. (Interlube). Results for Interlube are reported in the Mobile Industries segment. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Hamilton Gear Ltd., d/b/a Standard Machine (Standard Machine), as well as substantially all of the assets of Smith Services, Inc. (Smith Services). During the second quarter of 2014, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Schulz. Results for Standard Machine, Smith Services and Schulz are reported in the Process Industries segment.

The Mobile Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of currency-rate changes, increased in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher volume of $10 million. The higher volume was led by a $25 million increase in rail and a $10 million increase in off-highway, partially offset by a decrease in volume in the light vehicle market sector due to planned program exits that concluded at the end of 2013 of approximately $20 million. EBIT increased in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to the impact of higher volume and mix of approximately $20 million and lower manufacturing and raw material costs of approximately $10 million, partially offset by the impact of planned program exits that concluded at the end of 2013 of approximately $10 million.

The Mobile Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions and currency-rate changes, decreased in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 as a result of lower volume of approximately $60 million. The lower volume was driven by a decrease in light vehicle sales, due to planned program exits that concluded in 2013 of approximately $95 million, and a $15 million decrease in heavy truck sales. These decreases were partially offset by a $55 million increase in rail volume. EBIT was higher in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to the gain on the sale of the Company's former manufacturing site in Sao Paulo of approximately $23 million, the impact of higher volume of approximately $20 million and lower restructuring costs of approximately $10 million. These increases were partially offset by the impact of planned program exits of approximately $40 million.

Full-year sales for the Mobile Industries segment are expected to be down about 5% in 2014 compared to 2013. The expected decrease is primarily due to a decrease in light-vehicle revenue of approximately 25%, driven by planned program exits that concluded at the end of 2013 of approximately $110 million, partially offset by an increase in rail revenue of approximately 20%. EBIT for the Mobile Industries segment is expected to increase in 2014 compared to 2013 as a result of higher volume, the recognition of the gain related to the sale of the Company's former manufacturing site in Sao Paulo and lower manufacturing and raw material costs, partially offset by the impact of planned program exits that concluded in 2013.

The Process Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions and currency-rate changes, increased in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to higher volume of approximately $50 million. The higher volume was primarily due to higher demand in the wind energy market sector of approximately $20 million and higher demand from the industrial aftermarket of approximately $15 million. EBIT was higher in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to the impact of higher volume of approximately $25 million and lower manufacturing and raw material costs of approximately $5 million, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expense of $3 million.

The Process Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions and currency-rate changes, increased in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to higher volume of approximately $80 million. The higher volume was primarily due to higher demand in the wind energy market sector of approximately $55 million and higher demand from the industrial aftermarket of approximately $20 million. EBIT was higher in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to the impact of higher volume of approximately $40 million and lower manufacturing and raw material costs of approximately $30 million, partially offset by unfavorable sales mix of approximately $10 million and higher selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $10 million.

Full-year sales for the Process Industries segment are expected to increase about 11% in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily driven by improved penetration in targeted market sectors, modest increases in demand across most industrial market sectors and the impact of acquisitions. EBIT for the Process Industries segment is expected to increase in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to the impact of higher volume and lower manufacturing and material costs.

The Aerospace segment's net sales, excluding the effects of currency-rate changes, were flat in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. EBIT for the third quarter of 2014 was down compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to goodwill impairment and inventory valuation charges of approximately $118 million.

The Aerospace segment's net sales, excluding the impact of currency-rate changes, were relatively flat in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013. An increase in defense volume was offset by a decrease in commercial and critical motion volume. EBIT was lower in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to the unfavorable goodwill impairment and inventory valuation charges of approximately $118 million and unfavorable sales mix of approximately $6 million.

Full-year sales for the Aerospace segment are expected to be down about 5% in 2014 compared to 2013 as a result of lower defense shipments. EBIT for the Aerospace segment is expected to decrease in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to the impact of restructuring charges of approximately $120 million. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company will report the Aerospace business results primarily within the Mobile Industries segment and it will no longer be a separate reporting segment.

The decrease in corporate expense during the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, was primarily due to the benefit of cost reduction initiatives (including the elimination of certain positions in connection with the spinoff of TimkenSteel), partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased primarily due to the Company's purchase of approximately 5.1 million of its common shares for an aggregate of $266.5 million. Accounts receivable, net increased as a result of higher sales in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Inventories, net increased to match anticipated higher demand and to bolster customer service levels, partially offset by a $20 million inventory valuation adjustment in the Aerospace segment. Current assets, discontinued operations at December 31, 2013 related to the spinoff of TimkenSteel on June 30, 2014 and primarily included accounts receivable and inventory.

The decrease in goodwill was primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of $86 million in the Aerospace segment. The increase in non-current pension assets was primarily due to favorable returns on pension assets in the United States, partially offset by actuarial losses due to the remeasurement of the defined benefit pension obligation as a result of the spinoff of TimkenSteel. The decrease in other intangible assets was primarily due to current-year amortization expense of $13 million and intangible asset impairment of $10 million, partially offset by intangible assets acquired in 2014 of approximately $5 million. Non-current assets, discontinued operations at December 31, 2013 related to the spinoff of TimkenSteel on June 30, 2014 and primarily included property, plant and equipment.

The decrease in short-term debt in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to the reduction in the utilization of foreign lines of credit. The increase in accounts payable was due to higher purchases to meet production requirements. The increase in accrued salaries, wages and benefits was the result of the accruals for 2014 performance-based compensation, partially offset by the payout of the 2013 performance-based compensation. The decrease in income taxes payable in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to the current-year tax payments partially offset by the provisions for current-year income taxes. The decrease in other current liabilities during the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to the recognition of deferred revenue related to the sale of the Company's former manufacturing site in Sao Paulo as well as a reduction in accrued interest and accrued restructuring charges. Current liabilities, discontinued operations at December 31, 2013 related to the spinoff of TimkenSteel on June 30, 2014 and primarily included accounts payable and other accruals. The decrease in the current portion of long-term debt was primarily due to the Company’s $250 million fixed-rate senior unsecured notes being repaid at maturity in September 2014.

The increase in long-term debt during the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to the issuance of $350 million of fixed-rate unsecured notes, which mature in September 2024. The decrease in accrued pension cost during the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to favorable returns on pension assets in the United Kingdom, as well as an approximately $8 million contribution to the United Kingdom pension plan, changing the plan from underfunded to overfunded, requiring reclassification to non-current pension assets in 2014. The decrease in accrued postretirement benefits cost during the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to a $10 million contribution to the VEBA trust. Non-current liabilities, discontinued operations at December 31, 2013 related to the spinoff of TimkenSteel on June 30, 2014 and primarily included long-term debt, accrued pension cost and accrued postretirement benefits cost.

Earnings invested in the business in the first nine months of 2014 decreased primarily due to the spinoff of TimkenSteel. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily due to a $234.1 million after-tax adjustment related to the spinoff of TimkenSteel. The increase in treasury shares was primarily due to the Company's purchase of approximately 5.1 million of its common shares for an aggregate of $266.5 million, partially offset by net shares issued for stock compensation plans during the first nine months of 2014.

Operating activities provided net cash of $195.4 million in the first nine months of 2014, after providing net cash of $249.9 million in the first nine months of 2013. The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily due to lower cash provided by discontinued operations and higher cash used for income taxes, partially offset by lower pension contributions and other postretirement benefit payments, lower cash required for working capital items and an increase in income from continuing operations. Net cash provided by discontinued operations decreased to $22.6 million for the first nine months of 2014 from $113.3 million for the first nine months of 2013 as a result of separation costs incurred to spinoff TimkenSteel. Income taxes used cash of $47.6 million in the first nine months of 2014 after providing cash of $4.7 million during the first nine months of 2013 as a result of higher cash taxes paid in 2014. Pension contributions and other postretirement benefit payments were $47.6 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared to $80.3 million in the first nine months of 2013. Cash used for working capital items, such as accounts receivable, inventories and other accrued expense, decreased in the first nine months of 2014, compared to the first nine months of 2013. Net income from continuing operations decreased $34.0 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013.

Net cash used by investing activities of $157.1 million in the first nine months of 2014 decreased from the same period in 2013 primarily due to a $52.5 million decrease in acquisitions, a $41.7 million decrease in investing activities from discontinued operations, and a $4.5 million decrease in capital expenditures, as well as a $14.0 million increase in cash from the disposal of property, plant and equipment primarily due to the sale of real estate in Brazil and South Africa. The Company expects to reduce capital expenditures to approximately $115 million in 2014 compared to $133.7 million in 2013.

Net cash used by financing activities was $175.1 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $143.8 million in the first nine months of 2013. The increase in cash used by financing activities was primarily due to the purchases of the Company's common shares during the first nine months of 2014 and cash transferred to TimkenSteel, partially offset by net cash provided by discontinued operations and an increase in net borrowings. The Company purchased approximately 5.1 million of its common shares for an aggregate of $266.5 million during the first nine months of 2014 after purchasing 1.9 million of its common shares for an aggregate of $107.4 million during the first nine months of 2013. In addition, the Company transferred cash of $46.5 million as a result of the spinoff of TimkenSteel. Net cash from discontinued operations provided $100 million in the first six months of 2014 as TimkenSteel borrowed $100 million under its line of credit prior to the spinoff of TimkenSteel. Net borrowings provided cash of $86.0 million in the first nine months of 2014 after using cash of $2.2 million in the first nine months of 2013.

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

At September 30, 2014, approximately $135.1 million, or 43.3%, 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 some portion may be subject to governmental restrictions. 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.

In the first nine months of 2014, the Company repatriated $133 million of cash from jurisdictions outside of the United States. This was part of a strategy to repatriate approximately $365 million over several years, beginning in 2014. Income taxes of approximately $26 million were accrued on the $365 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to this strategy.

On April 30, 2014, the Company amended its three-year Asset Securitization Agreement, reducing its aggregate borrowing availability from $200 million to $100 million. The Asset Securitization Agreement matures on November 30, 2015 and is subject to certain borrowing base limitations, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables of the Company. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no borrowings under its Asset Securitization Agreement, and as a result of certain borrowing base limitations, its availably under the Asset Securitization Agreement was $87.1 million.


50



At September 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Senior Credit Facility, which provides for aggregate borrowings up to $500 million. The Senior Credit Facility matures on May 11, 2016. Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 2014, the Company was in full compliance with the covenants under the Senior Credit Facility and its other debt agreements. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.25 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2014, the Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 1.04 to 1.0. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 4.0 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2014, the Company's consolidated interest coverage ratio was 14.61 to 1.0.

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 this agreement.

Other sources of liquidity include short-term lines of credit for certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which provide for borrowings up to $238.9 million. The majority of these lines are uncommitted. At September 30, 2014, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $8.7 million and guarantees of $4.9 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $225.3 million.

In August 2014, the Company issued $350 million of fixed-rate unsecured notes that mature in September 2024. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from this issuance to repay the $250 million of fixed-rated unsecured notes that matured on September 15, 2014.

The Company expects that any cash requirements in excess of cash on hand and cash generated from operating activities 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.

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 September 30, 2014, 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 expects cash from operations in 2014 to increase to approximately $305 million as the Company anticipates higher net income from continuing operations and lower pension contributions, partially offset by working capital requirements and higher cash taxes. The Company expects to make approximately $20 million in pension and postretirement contributions in 2014, compared to $73.3 million in 2013. The Company also expects to reduce capital expenditures to approximately $115 million in 2014 compared to $133.7 million in 2013.


51



Financing Obligations and Other Commitments:

During the first nine months of 2014, the Company made contributions of $17.7 million to its global defined benefit pension plans. The Company currently expects to make contributions to its global defined benefit pension plans in 2014 totaling approximately $20 million. Returns for the Company's global defined benefit pension plan assets in 2013 were 10.8%, above the expected rate-of-return assumption of 8.0% due to broad increases in global equity markets. These higher returns positively impacted the funded status of the plans at the end of 2013 and are expected to result in lower pension expense and required pension contributions in future years. As a result of the favorable asset returns in 2013, as well as a 102 basis point increase in the Company's discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligation at December 31, 2013 and the spinoff of TimkenSteel, the Company expects to recognize pension expense of approximately $30 million in 2014, compared to $69.7 million in 2013. Returns for the Company's U.S. defined benefit plan pension assets for the first nine months of 2014 were approximately 5.8%. In addition, the Company expects to incur approximately $35 million of pension settlement costs in the fourth quarter of 2014 as lump sum pension payments are expected to exceed interest and service cost for one of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans.

During the first nine months of 2014, the Company purchased approximately 5.1 million of its common shares for $266.5 million in the aggregate under the Company's 2012 common share purchase plan. This plan authorized 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. On June 13, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional 10 million common shares for repurchase under this plan. The authorization expires on December 31, 2015. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has purchased approximately 11 million common shares under this plan.

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

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 Company reviews its critical accounting policies throughout the year. The Company has concluded that there have been no changes to its critical accounting policies or estimates, as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Other Matters

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 quarter. Related translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Foreign currency exchange losses included in the Company's operating results for the third quarter of 2014 were $1.8 million compared to a loss of $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2013. Foreign currency exchange losses included in the Company's operating results for the first nine months of 2014 were $5.0 million compared to a loss of $6.5 million during the first nine months of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a positive foreign currency translation adjustment of $17.6 million that decreased shareholders' equity, compared to a negative foreign currency translation adjustment of $19.3 million that decreased shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The foreign currency translation adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, such as the European Euro, the Swiss franc, the Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Real, and the British Pound.
