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" or "Timken") 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 accompanying Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company previously classified intangible asset amortization expense within cost of products sold in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Intangible asset amortization expense is now classified separately. The 2022 presentation has been revised to conform to the 2023 presentation resulting in a reduction in the cost of products sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies are detailed in "
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies"
of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
New Accounting Guidance Adopted:
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)." ASU 2022-04 is intended to establish disclosures that enhance the transparency of a supplier finance program used by an entity in connection with the purchase of goods and services. Supplier finance programs, which also may be referred to as reverse factoring, payables finance or structured payables arrangements, allow a buyer to offer its suppliers the option for access to payment in advance of an invoice due date, which is paid by a third-party finance provider or intermediary. Under the guidance, a buyer in a supplier finance program would disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. Refer to
Note 12 - Supply Chain Financing
in
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
On January 31, 2023, the Company acquired the assets of American Roller Bearing Company ("ARB"), a North Carolina-based manufacturer of industrial bearings. ARB, which boasts a large U.S. installed base and strong aftermarket business, operates manufacturing facilities in Hiddenite and Morganton, North Carolina. The total purchase price for this acquisition was $
32.0
million, including $
0.5
million of the purchase price that was held back for the post-closing settlement of working capital. ARB generated sales of approximately $
35
million in 2022 and the transaction was funded with cash on hand. Results for ARB are reported in the Engineered Bearings segment.
The following table presents the purchase price allocation at fair value for the ARB acquisition as of March 31, 2023.

In determining the fair value of the amounts above, the Company utilized various forms of the income, cost and market approaches depending on the asset or liability being valued. The estimation of fair value required judgement related to future net cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, market comparisons and other factors. Inputs were generally determined by taking into account independent appraisals and historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions.
The amounts in the table above represent the preliminary purchase price allocation for ARB. This purchase price allocation, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill or the recognition of a bargain purchase price gain, is based on preliminary information and is subject to change as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations are obtained and management completes its reassessment of the measurement period procedures based on the results of the preliminary valuation. As of March 31, 2023, no elements of the purchase price allocation have been finalized. During the applicable measurement period, the Company will adjust assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values will be reflected as if the adjustments has been completed on the acquisition date.
On November 4, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of GGB Bearing Technology ("GGB"), a global technology and market leader of premium engineered metal-polymer plain bearings, for $
302.5
million, net of cash acquired of $
19.2
million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. GGB's revenue was approximately $
200
million for the full year 2022. GGB's products are used mainly in industrial applications, including pumps and compressors, HVAC, off-highway, energy, material handling and aerospace. With manufacturing facilities across the United States, Europe and China, GGB employs approximately
900
people and has a global engineering, distribution and sales footprint. Results for GGB are reported in the Engineered Bearings segment.
On May 31, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Spinea, s.r.o. ("Spinea"), a European technology leader and manufacturer of highly engineered cycloidal reduction gears and actuators, with full year 2022 sales of approximately $
40
million. Spinea’s solutions primarily serve high-precision automation and robotics applications in the factory automation platform. Spinea is located in Presov, Slovakia. The purchase price for this acquisition was $
151.2
million, net of cash acquired of $
0.2
million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Results for Spinea are reported in the Industrial Motion segment.

The above purchase price allocation, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, is based on preliminary information and is subject to change as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations is obtained. The purchase price allocation for Spinea is preliminary pending the continued evaluation of operating leases, which is expected to be finalized during the second quarter of 2023. The purchase price allocation for GGB is preliminary pending the continued evaluation of certain working capital accounts, real estate and other intangible assets, as well the related impacts on deferred income taxes. During the measurement period, the Company will adjust assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values will be reflected as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date.
On April 4, 2023, the Company acquired Leonardo Top S.a.r.l. ("Nadella"), a leading European manufacturer of linear guides, telescopic rails, actuators and systems and other specialized industrial motion solutions, from ICG plc. Nadella operates manufacturing facilities in Europe and China and reported revenue of approximately €
100
million in 2022.
Divestitures:
On February 28, 2023, the Company completed the sale of all of its membership interests in S.E. Setco Services Company, LLC ("SE Setco"), a
50
% owned joint venture. The Company had accounted for SE Setco as an equity method investment prior to the sale. The Company received $
5.7
million in cash proceeds for SE Setco and recognized a pretax gain of $
4.8
million on the sale. The gain was reflected in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA").
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company began operating under new reportable segments. The Company’s
two
reportable segments are Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion. Segment results for 2022 have been revised to conform to the 2023 presentation of segments.

When reviewing revenue by sales channel, the Company separates net sales to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") from sales to distributors and end users. The following table presents the approximate percent of revenue by sales channel for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

In addition to disaggregating revenue by segment, geography and by sales channel as shown above, the Company believes information about the timing of transfer of goods or services, type of customer and distinguishing service revenue from product sales is also relevant. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, approximately
8
%
and
9
%, respectively,
of total net sales were recognized on an over-time basis because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer, with the remainder recognized as of a point in time. Approximately
4
% and
5
% of total net sales represented service revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Finally, business with the United States ("U.S.") government or its contractors represented approximately
5
% and
7
% of total net sales during each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligations:
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options. Performance obligations having a duration of more than one year are concentrated in contracts for certain products and services provided to the U.S. government or its contractors. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately $
126.0
million

Note 6 - Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying the estimated annual effective tax rates to income or loss before income taxes for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items are recorded during the period(s) in which they occur.

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was calculated using forecasted multi-jurisdictional annual effective tax rates to determine a blended annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the projected mix of earnings in international jurisdictions with relatively higher tax rates.
The effective tax rate of
25.3
% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase in the mix of earnings in international jurisdictions with relatively higher tax rates.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the numerator and the denominator of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Total inventories, net
$

$

Inventories are valued at net realizable value, with approximately
60
% valued on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method and the remaining
40
% valued on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. The majority of the Company's domestic inventories are valued on the LIFO method. The Company's international inventories are valued on the FIFO method.
The LIFO reserve at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $
234.2
million and $
235.4
million, respectively. 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 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 Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, performing its annual impairment test as of October 1
st
. 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.
In connection with the adoption of new reportable segments, goodwill was reallocated to new reporting units based on relative fair value at the reporting unit level. The Engineered Bearings segment has
one
reporting unit and the Industrial Motion segment has
six
reporting units.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were as follows:

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment for its reporting units due to the change in reporting segments that went into effect January 1, 2023. 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. Based on the earnings and cash flow forecasts for the Belts & Chain reporting unit within the Industrial Motion segment, the Company determined that the reporting unit could not support the carrying value of its goodwill. As a result, the Company recorded a pretax impairment loss of $
28.3
million during the first quarter of 2023, which was reported in impairment and restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

million and $
12.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination is reported in amortization of intangible assets on the Consolidated Statement of Income, and amortization expense related to capitalized software is reported in cost of products sold or selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Amortization expense for intangible assets is projected to be $
56.2
million in 2023; $
51.5
million in 2024; $
50.6
million in 2025; $

The Company has a $
100
million Amended and Restated Asset Securitization Agreement (the "Accounts Receivable Facility"), which matures on November 30, 2024. Under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Facility, 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 that are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial paper in the short-term market. Borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility may be limited to certain borrowing base limitations; however, availability under the Accounts Receivable Facility was not reduced by any such borrowing base limitations at March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, there were $
100.0
million in outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to
zero
. $
7.1
million of the outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility was classified as short-term at March 31, 2023, which reflects the Company's expectations over the next 12 months relative to the minimum borrowing base. The cost of this facility, which is the prevailing commercial paper rate plus facility fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Lines of credit for certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries provide for short-term borrowings up to $
237.4
million in the aggregate. Most of these lines of credit are uncommitted. At March 31, 2023, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had borrowings outstanding of $
38.7
million and bank guarantees of $
3.7
million, which reduced the aggregate availability under these facilities to $
195.0
million.

On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement"), which is comprised of the $
750.0
million unsecured revolving credit facility ("Senior Credit Facility") and a $
400.0
million unsecured term loan facility ("2027 Term Loan") that each mature on December 5, 2027. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's previous revolving credit agreement that was set to mature on June 25, 2024, and replaced the $
350.0
million term loan that was set to mature on September 11, 2023 ("2023 Term Loan"). The Credit Agreement also replaced interest rates based on LIBOR with interest rates based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). At March 31, 2023, the Company had $
63.6
million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $
686.4
million. The Credit Agreement has
two
financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio.
On March 28, 2022, the Company issued fixed-rate unsecured senior notes ("2032 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $
350
million with an interest rate of
4.125
%, maturing on April 1, 2032. Proceeds from the 2032 Notes were used for general corporate purposes, which included the repayment of borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and the Accounts Receivable Facility outstanding at the time of issuance.
At March 31, 2023, the Company was in full compliance with all applicable covenants on its outstanding debt.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company utilizes standby letters of credit issued by financial institutions to guarantee certain obligations, most of which relate to insurance contracts. At March 31, 2023, outstanding letters of credit totaled $
52.0
million, most with expiration dates within 12 months.
The maturities of long-term debt (including $
3.5

The Company offers a supplier finance program with two different financial institutions where suppliers may receive early payment from the financial institutions on invoices issued to the Company. The Company and each financial institution entered into arrangements providing for the Company to pay the financial institution per the terms of any supplier invoice paid early under the program and to pay an annual fee for the supplier finance platform subscription and related support. The Company and the financial institutions may terminate participation in the program with
90
days’ written notice. The supplier finance programs are unsecured and are not guaranteed by the Company. The financial institutions enter into separate arrangements with suppliers directly to participate in the program. The Company does not determine the terms or conditions of such arrangements or participate in the transactions between the suppliers and the financial institutions.
The supplier invoice terms under the program typically require payment in full within
90
days of the invoice date.
The following table is a rollforward of the outstanding obligations for the Company’s supplier finance program for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

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, known as the 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.
On December 28, 2004, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) sent Lovejoy, LLC. ("Lovejoy") a Special Notice Letter that identified Lovejoy as a potentially responsible party, together with at least 14 other companies, at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site, Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the “Site”). The Company acquired Lovejoy in 2016. Lovejoy’s Downers Grove property is situated within the Ellsworth Industrial Complex. The USEPA and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”) allege there have been one or more releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, allegedly including, but not limited to, a release or threatened release on or from Lovejoy's property, at the Site. The relief sought by the USEPA and IEPA includes further investigation and potential remediation of the Site and reimbursement of response costs. Lovejoy’s allocated share of past and future costs related to the Site, including for investigation and/or remediation, could be significant. All previously pending property damage and personal injury lawsuits against Lovejoy related to the Site were settled or dismissed prior to our acquisition of Lovejoy.
The Company had total environmental accruals of
$
4.7
million
and $
4.8
million for various known environmental matters that are probable and reasonably estimable at March 31, 2023
and
December 31, 2022, respectively, which includes the Lovejoy matter described above. These accruals were 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.
Product Warranties:
In addition to the contingencies above, the Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products. The product warranty liability included in "Other current liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was
$
25.4
million and $
23.5
million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The balances at the end of each respective period represent the best estimates of costs for future claims for products that are still under warranty. The increase in the liability for the first three months of 2023 primarily relates to additional accruals for certain products sold into the automotive and renewable energy sectors. Accrual estimates are based on actual claims and expected trends that continue to mature. The Company is currently evaluating claims raised by certain customers with respect to the performance of bearings sold into the wind energy sector. Management believes that the outcome of these claims will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position; however, the effect of any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs in excess of amounts provided, if any, are recognized.
The following is a rollforward of the consolidated product warranty accrual for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and twelve months ended December 31, 2022:

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.
Engineered Bearings:
On January 16, 2023, the Company announced the closure of its bearing plant in Gaffney, South Carolina. The Company expects to transfer its remaining operations to other bearing manufacturing facilities in North America. The closure of this facility is expected to occur by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 and is expected to affect approximately
225
employees. The Company expects to incur approximately $
10
million to $
12
million of pretax costs in total related to this closure. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded severance and related benefits of $
0.8
million related to this closure. T
he Company incurred cumulative pretax costs related to this closure of $
2.0
million as of March 31, 2023, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold.
On July 19, 2021, the Company announced the closure of its bearing manufacturing facility in Villa Carcina, Italy. The Company transferred the manufacturing of its single-row tapered roller bearing production to other bearing facilities in Europe, Asia and the United States. The Company completed the closure of the facility on October 31, 2022, and it affected approximately
110
employees. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded severance and related benefits of $
0.4
million and exit costs of $
0.6
million related to this closure. The Company incurred cumulative pretax costs related to this closure of $
9.8
million as of March 31, 2023, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold. On November 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of this facility.
Industrial Motion:
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company announced certain organizational changes, which included the appointment of executive leaders for its Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion product groups. After evaluating the impact from the organizational changes and revising segment results through the balance of 2022, the Company concluded that it will operate under
two
new reportable segments, Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion, effective January 1, 2023. In conjunction with this change in segmented results, the Company had to reallocate goodwill to new reporting units under these
two
segments. In addition, the Company had to review goodwill for impairment under these new reporting units. As a result of this goodwill impairment review, the Company recognized a pretax goodwill impairment loss of
$
28.3
million
during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Note 15 - Impairment and Restructuring Charges (continued)
On February 4, 2020, the Company announced the closure of its chain manufacturing facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. This facility was part of the Diamond Chain Company ("Diamond Chain") acquisition completed on April 1, 2019. The Company transferred the majority of its Diamond Chain product line to its chain manufacturing facility in Fulton, Illinois. The chain plant is expected to cease operations by the end of April 2023 and is expected to affect approximately
240
employees. The Company expects to hire approximately
130
full-time positions in Fulton, Illinois and expects to incur approximately $
12
million to $
15
million of expenses related to this closure. The Company has incurred cumulative pretax costs related to this closure of $
14.4
million as of March 31, 2023, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, lump sum payments related to new retirees exceeded annual interest and service costs for one of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans, triggering a remeasurement of assets and obligations for this plan. As a result of this remeasurement, the Company recognized a net actuarial gain ("mark-to-market charges") of $
0.9
million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company expected to make lump sum payments related to new retirees in excess of annual interest and service costs for one of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans. This expectation triggered a remeasurement of assets and obligations for this plan. As a result of this remeasurement, the Company recognized a net actuarial loss of $
2.6
million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Note 17 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications and income taxes includes the effect of foreign currency.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are valued at the redempti
on value. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year, and generally are valued at amortized cost, which approximat
es fair value. A portion of the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are valued based on net asset value. The Company uses publicly available market interest rates to measure the fair value of its interest rate swap contracts. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts.
In addition, the Company remeasures certain assets at fair value, using Level 3 inputs, as a result of the occurrence of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions or goodwill impairment.
No other material assets w
ere measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the
three
months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Financial Instruments:
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, 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, trade accounts payable and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Due to the nature of fair value calculati
ons for variable-rate debt, the carrying value of the Company's long-term variable-rate debt is a reasonable estima
te of its fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $
1,381.7
million and $
1,353.5
million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $
1,420.3
million and $
1,417.9
million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt was measured using Level 2 inputs.
The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.
Note 20 - 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 and interest rate risk. Forward 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. From time to time, interest rate swaps are used 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 cash flow hedges of fixed-rate borrowings.
On September 8, 2020, the Company entered into a $
100
million floating-to-fixed rate swap on the 2023 Term Loan, which hedges the change in the 1-month LIBOR rate between October 30, 2020 and September 11, 2023 to a fixed rate. The Company repaid the LIBOR based 2023 Term Loan on December 5, 2022 and replaced it with the SOFR based 2027 Term Loan. The Company amended the interest rate for the swap from LIBOR to SOFR commencing January 2023. The Company’s risk management objective is to hedge the risk of changes in the monthly interest expense attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.
On September 15, 2020, the Company designated €
54.5
million of its €
150.0
million fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, maturing on September 7, 2027 (th
e "2027 Notes"), as a hedge against its net investment in one of its European subsidiaries. The objective of the hedge transaction is to protect the net investment in the foreign operations against changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. The net impact for the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, was a loss of $
0.7
million to accumulated comprehensive (loss) income with a corresponding offset to other income (expense) which partially offsets the impact of the foreign currency adjustment on the 2027 Notes.
The Company entered into $
350
million of floating-to-fixed
10-year
Treasury rate locks during the first quarter of 2022, prior to issuing the 2032 Notes. This fixed the
10-year
Treasury yield and settled at pricing of the 2032 Notes, resulting in $
6.5
million of cash proceeds received by the Company. This amount was recorded to accumulated comprehensive income and will be amortized as a reduction in interest expense over the
10-year
tenor of the 2032 Notes.
The Company does not purchase or hold any derivativ
e financial instruments for trading purposes. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $
674.0
million and $
635.6
million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value. Refer to
Note 19 - Fair Value
for the fair value disclosure of derivative financial instruments.
Note 20 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (continued)
Cash Flow Hedging Strategy:
For certain derivative instruments that are designated 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 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.
To protect against a reduction in the value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted cash flows 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. Co
nverse
ly, 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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $
79.7
million and $
82.3
million,
respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value that were classified as cash flow hedges.
The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecast transactions is generally
eighteen months
or less.
Purpose for Derivative Instruments not designated as Hedging Instruments:
For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the instruments are typically forward contracts. In general, the practice is to reduce volatility by selectively hedging transaction exposures including intercompany loans, accounts payable and accounts receivable. Intercompany loans between entities with different functional currencies typically are hedged with a forward contract at the inception of the loan with a maturity date corresponding to the maturity of the loan. The revaluation of these contracts, as well as the revaluation of the underlying balance sheet items, is recorded directly to the income statement so the adjustment generally offsets the revaluation of the underlying balance sheet items to protect cash payments and reduce income statement volatility.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $
594.3
million and $
553.3
million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value that were not d
esignated as hedging instruments.

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
OVERVIEW
Introduction:
The Timken Company designs and manufactures a growing portfolio of engineered bearings and industrial motion products, and related services. With more than a century of knowledge and innovation, the Company continuously improves the reliability and efficiency of global machinery and equipment to move the world forward. The Company’s growing product and services portfolio features many strong industrial brands, such as Timken®, Philadelphia Gear®, GGB®, Drives®, Cone Drive®, Rollon®, Lovejoy®, Diamond®, BEKA®, Groeneveld®, Nadella® and Spinea®. Timken employs more than
19,000
people globally in
46
countries. The Company operates under two reportable segments: (1) Engineered Bearings and (2) Industrial Motion. The following further describes these business segments:
•
Timken’s Engineered Bearings segment features a broad range of product designs serving original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users worldwide. Timken is a leading authority on tapered roller bearings and leverages its position by applying engineering know-how and technology across its entire bearing portfolio, which includes tapered, spherical and cylindrical roller bearings; plain bearings, metal-polymer bearings and rod end bearings; thrust and specialty ball bearings; and housed bearings. The Engineered Bearings portfolio features Timken® and GGB® brands and serves customers across global industries, including wind energy, agriculture, construction, food and beverage, metals and mining, automotive and truck, aerospace, rail and more.
•
Timken’s Industrial Motion segment includes a diverse and growing portfolio of engineered products, including industrial drives, automatic lubrication systems, linear motion products and systems, chains, belts, couplings and industrial clutches and brakes that keep systems running efficiently. Industrial Motion also includes industrial drivetrain services, which return equipment to like-new condition. The Industrial Motion portfolio features many strong brands: Philadelphia Gear®, Cone Drive®, Spinea®, Rollon®, Nadella®, Groeneveld®, BEKA®, Diamond®, Drives®, Timken® Belts, Lovejoy® and PT Tech®. Industrial Motion products are used across a broad range of industries, including solar energy, automation, construction, agriculture and turf, passenger rail, marine, aerospace, packaging and logistics, medical and more.
Timken creates value by understanding customer needs and applying its know-how to serve a broad range of customers in attractive markets and industries across the globe. The Company’s business strengths include its product technology, end-market diversity, geographic reach and aftermarket mix. Timken collaborates with OEMs to improve equipment efficiency with its engineered products and captures subsequent equipment replacement cycles by selling largely through independent channels in the aftermarket. Timken focuses its international efforts and footprint in regions of the world where strong macroeconomic factors such as urbanization, infrastructure development and sustainability create demand for its products and services.
The Company's strategy has three primary elements:
Profitable Growth.
The Company intends to expand into new and existing markets by leveraging its collective knowledge of metallurgy, friction management and industrial motion to create value for Timken customers. Using a highly collaborative technical selling approach, the Company places particular emphasis on creating unique solutions for challenging and/or demanding applications. The Company intends to grow in attractive market sectors around the world, emphasizing those spaces that are highly fragmented, demand high service and value the reliability and efficiency offered by Timken products. The Company also targets applications that offer significant aftermarket demand, thereby providing product and services revenue throughout the equipment’s lifetime.
Operational Excellence.
Timken operates with a relentless drive for exceptional results and a passion for superior execution. The Company embraces a continuous improvement culture that is charged with increasing efficiency, lowering costs, eliminating waste, encouraging organizational agility and building greater brand equity to fuel growth. This requires the Company’s ongoing commitment to attract, retain and develop the best talent across the world.
Capital Deployment to Drive Shareholder Value.
The Company is intently focused on providing the highest returns for shareholders through its capital allocation framework, which includes: (1) investing in the core business through capital expenditures, research and development and initiatives to drive profitable organic growth; (2) pursuing strategic acquisitions to broaden its portfolio and capabilities across diverse markets, with a focus on bearings, adjacent industrial motion products and related services; (3) returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases; and (4) maintaining a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity. As part of this framework, the Company may also restructure, reposition or divest underperforming product lines or assets.

The increase in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022 was
driven by strong organic growth in both the Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion segments and the favorable impact of acquisitions (net of divestitures), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to the favorable price/mix and the impact of higher volume, partially offset by higher operating costs and higher impairment and restructuring charges.
Outlook:
The Company expects 2023 full-year revenue to be up between 8% and 11% compared to 2022, driven by organic growth and the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures). The Company's earnings are expected to be up in 2023 compared with 2022, due to the favorable impact of price/mix and higher sales volume, as well as lower material and logistics costs, partially offset by higher operating costs, higher impairment and restructuring charges, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and higher interest expense.
The Company expects to generate a higher amount of cash from operating activities in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by higher earnings and improved working capital performance. The Company expects higher capital expenditures in 2023 compared to 2022, but relatively in line with 2022 spending as a percentage of sales (4.0%).
Net sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was driven by strong organic growth of $123 million and the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures) of $45 million, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $30 million. The higher organic revenue was driven by higher demand and positive pricing in both the Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion segments.
Operating income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to the favorable net impact of higher sales volume (including pricing), less cost of products sold, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, higher impairment and restructuring charges and increased amortization expense.
•
Cost of products sold increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to higher manufacturing costs, net of favorable mix impact, of $57 million, and the incremental cost of goods sold from acquisitions (net of divestitures) of $34 million, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $16 million and lower material and logistics costs of $14 million. The higher manufacturing costs reflect continued labor and input cost inflation, as well as the impact of reduced inventory build in the current quarter compared to a year ago.
•
SG&A expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the year-ago period was primarily due to higher compensation costs (including incentive-based compensation) and increased spending to support the higher sales and business activity levels.
•
Amortization of intangible assets increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the addition of intangible assets from the GGB acquisition, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.
•
Impairment and restructuring charges were higher for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to the impairment of goodwill. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment for its reporting units due to the change in reporting segments that went into effect January 1, 2023. As a result of this analysis the Company determined that one of the new reporting units within the Industrial Motion segment could not support the carrying value of its goodwill, and subsequently recorded a pretax impairment loss of $28.3 million in the first quarter of 2023.
The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to increased debt levels and higher average interest rates.

EBITDA decreased $14.2 million or 22.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to higher impairment and restructuring charges, as well as higher manufacturing costs and SG&A expenses, partially offset by favorable price/mix and the impact of higher sales volume. The higher impairment and restructuring charges were primarily related to the impairment of goodwill for one of the segment's reporting units.

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 and the ability to utilize such cash and cash equivalents to reduce debt if needed.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had strong liquidity with $330.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as well as $686.4 million available under committed credit lines. Of the $330.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $327.9 million resided in jurisdictions outside the United States. Repatriation of non-U.S. cash could be subject to 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 includes making investments in facilities, 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 where feasible.
On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which is comprised of the $750.0 million Senior Credit Facility and the $400.0 million 2027 Term Loan that each mature on December 5, 2027. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's previous revolving credit agreement that was set to mature on June 25, 2024, and replaced the $350.0 million 2023 Term Loan. The Credit Agreement also replaced interest rates based on LIBOR with interest rates based on SOFR. At March 31, 2023, the Company had $63.6 million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $686.4 million. The Credit Agreement has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio.
The maximum consolidated
leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.5 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2023, the Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 1.84 to 1.0. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.0 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2023, the Company's consolidated interest coverage ratio was 11.33 to 1.0.
The interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility is variable with a spread based on the Company's debt rating. The average rate on outstanding U.S. dollar borrowings was 5.72% and the average rate on outstanding Euro borrowings was 3.46% as of March 31, 2023. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee based on the applicable rate, which is variable with a spread based on the Company's debt rating, multiplied by the aggregate commitments of all of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2023, the Company carried investment-grade credit ratings with both Moody's (Baa2) and S&P Global (BBB-).
The Company has a $100 million Accounts Receivable Facility, which matures on November 30, 2024. The Accounts Receivable Facility is subject to certain borrowing base limitations and is secured by certain domestic trade accounts receivable of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $100 million outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility and no borrowing base limitations. There was no availability under the Accounts Receivable Facility as of March 31, 2023.
Other sources of liquidity include uncommitted short-term lines of credit for certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which provide for borrowings of up to $237.4 million. At March 31, 2023, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $38.7 million and bank guarantees of $3.7 million, which reduced the aggregate availability under these facilities to $195.0 million.
On March 28, 2022, the Company issued the 2032 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350 million with an interest rate of 4.125%, maturing on April 1, 2032. Proceeds from the 2032 Notes were used for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and the Accounts Receivable Facility outstanding at the time of issuance.
At March 31, 2023, the Company was in full compliance with all applicable covenants on its outstanding debt.
The Company expects to generate higher amount of cash from operating activities in 2023 compared to 2022, driven by higher earnings and improved working capital performance. The Company expects higher capital expenditures in 2023 compared to 2022, but relatively in line with 2022 spending as a percentage of sales (4.0%).
Financing Obligations and Other Commitments:
During the first three months of 2023, the Company made cash contributions and payments of $4.4 million to its global defined benefit pension plans and $0.4 million to its other postretirement benefit plans. The Company expects to make contributions to its global defined benefit plans of approximately $25 million in 2023. The Company expects to make payments of approximately $4 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2023. Excluding mark-to-market charges, the Company expects higher pension and other postretirement benefits expense in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to lower expected returns on pension plan assets.
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 U.S. GAAP. 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 significant changes to its critical accounting policies or estimates, as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
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, and the related hedging activity, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded positive foreign currency translation adjustments of $27.4 million that increased shareholders' equity, compared with negative foreign currency translation adjustments of $20.0 million that decreased shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The foreign currency translation adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were favorably impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies, including the Euro, Mexican Peso and Chinese Yuan.
Foreign currency exchange gains and losses, net of hedging activity, resulting from transactions included in the Company's operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 totaled $3.0 million of net losses, compared with $2.2 million of net gains during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Russia Operations:
The Company had two subsidiaries in Russia prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, including Timken Russia, which was 100% owned by Timken and a 51%-owned joint venture to serve the Russian rail market ("Rail JV"). As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine (and associated sanctions), the Company suspended operations and recorded property, plant and equipment impairment charges of $9.0 million and inventory write-downs of $4.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company sold its Timken Russia business resulting in a loss of $2.7 million on the sale. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded additional inventory write-downs of $0.4 million. After giving effect to these impairments and write-downs, as well as the sale of Timken Russia, as of March 31, 2023, the Company has net assets (net of noncontrolling interest of $5.2 million), totaling $7.2 million on its Consolidated Balance Sheet related to its Rail JV. Net assets include $7.9 million of cash and cash equivalents that the Company has classified as restricted as the Company is presently unable to repatriate these funds to one of its subsidiaries outside of Russia. The Company will continue to monitor the events in Russia and Ukraine and may record additional asset impairments or write-offs in the future.
In addition to results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides information on non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins, segment adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA margins, ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA (for the trailing 12 months), net debt, ratio of net debt to capital and free cash flow. This information is intended to supplement GAAP financial measures and is not intended to replace GAAP financial measures. Net debt and the ratio of net debt to capital is disclosed in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share represent net income attributable to The Timken Company and diluted earnings per share, respectively, adjusted for intangible amortization, impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges, acquisition costs, including transaction costs and the amortization of the inventory step-up, property losses and recoveries, actuarial gains and losses associated with the remeasurement of the Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, gains and losses on the sale of real estate, gains and losses on divestitures, the income tax impact of these adjustments, as well as other discrete income tax items, and other items from time to time that are not part of the Company's core operations. Management believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful to investors as they are representative of the Company's core operations and are used in the management of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for items that are not part of the Company's core operations. These items include intangible amortization, impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges, acquisition costs, including transaction costs and the amortization of the inventory step-up, property losses and recoveries, actuarial gains and losses associated with the remeasurement of the Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, gains and losses on the sale of real estate, gains and losses on divestitures, and other items from time to time that are not part of the Company's core operations. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it is representative of the Company's core operations and is used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.

Corporate pension and other postretirement benefit related (income) expense represents actuarial (gains) and losses that resulted from the remeasurement of plan assets and obligations as a result of changes in assumptions or experience. The Company recognizes actuarial (gains) and losses in connection with the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or if specific events trigger a remeasurement. Refer to

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including 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 report.
(b)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, there have been no changes 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.
On January 31, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of ARB. The results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the first three months of 2023. The total and net assets of ARB represented less than 1% of the Company's total assets and net assets as of March 31, 2023. The net sales of ARB represented less than 1% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the first three months of 2023
The scope of the Company's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting will not include the ARB acquisition noted above. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the Company's scope in the year of acquisition.
On November 4, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of GGB. The results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the first three months of 2023. The total and net assets of GGB represented 7% of the Company's total assets and 14% of the Company's net assets as of March 31, 2023. The net sales of GGB represented 4% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the first three months of 2023.
On May 31, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Spinea. The results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the first three months of 2023. The total and net assets of Spinea represented 3% of the Company's total assets and 6% of the Company's net assets as of March 31, 2023. The net sales of Spinea represented less than 1% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the first three months of 2023.
The Company is currently integrating these acquisitions into its internal control framework and processes, and as prescribed by U.S Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, the Company will include Spinea and GGB in the internal control over financial reporting assessment as of December 31, 2023.
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations require us to disclose certain information about environmental proceedings when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to such regulations, the Company uses the maximum permitted threshold of $1 million or more for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Investors should not interpret the disclosure of any risk factor to imply that the risk has not already materialized.
