NORTH CANTON, Ohio, May 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Timken Company (NYSE:TKR, www.timken.com))), a global leader in engineered bearings and industrial motion products, today reported first-quarter 2023 sales of $1.26 billion, up 12.3 percent from the same period a year ago. The increase 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 unfavorable foreign currency translation. Organically, first-quarter sales were up 10.9 percent versus the prior year.

Timken posted net income in the first quarter of $122.3 million or a record $1.67 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $118.2 million or $1.56 per diluted share for the same period a year ago.

Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted net income in the first quarter was $153.5 million or $2.09 per diluted share, an all-time record for any quarter. This compares to adjusted net income of $129.7 million or $1.72 per diluted share for the same period in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $265.5 million or 21.0 percent of sales, compared with $225.1 million or 20.0 percent of sales in the first quarter of last year.

Net cash from operations for the quarter was $78.6 million and free cash flow was $36.9 million. During the quarter, the company returned $77.6 million of cash to shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 670 thousand shares of company stock. In addition, the company acquired the assets of American Roller Bearing Co. at the end of January. Also, in early April, Timken completed its previously announced acquisition of Nadella Group, which expands and scales the company's leading linear motion product portfolio.

"Timken maintained its strong momentum and delivered an excellent start to the year, achieving record revenue and earnings per share in the first quarter while expanding operating margins," said Richard G. Kyle, Timken president and chief executive officer. "Our performance continues to demonstrate the value we can create for our stakeholders through dynamic macro environments."

First-Quarter 2023 Segment Results

Engineered Bearings sales of $900.7 million increased 16.6 percent from the same period a year ago. The increase was driven by organic growth across most sectors led by renewable energy, distribution and rail, and the favorable impact of acquisitions (net), partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation.

EBITDA for the quarter was $205.0 million or 22.8 percent of sales, compared with EBITDA of $168.3 million or 21.8 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The increase in EBITDA was driven primarily by the impact of favorable price/mix, higher volume and lower material & logistics costs, as well as the benefit of acquisitions, partially offset by higher manufacturing and SG&A costs and the unfavorable impact of currency.

Excluding special items, adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $203.8 million or 22.6 percent of sales, compared with $173.9 million or 22.5 percent of sales in the first quarter of last year.

Industrial Motion sales of $362.1 million increased 2.8 percent compared with the same period a year ago. The increase was driven by organic growth across most platforms led by automatic lubrication systems, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation and the unfavorable impact of divestitures (net).

EBITDA for the quarter was $48.2 million or 13.3 percent of sales, compared with EBITDA of $62.4 million or 17.7 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The decrease in EBITDA was driven primarily by a goodwill impairment charge in the current period related to the recent change in operating segments, as well as higher SG&A and manufacturing costs, partially offset by the impact of favorable price/mix and higher volume.

Excluding special items, adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $76.9 million or 21.2 percent of sales, compared with $63.4 million or 18.0 percent of sales in the first quarter of last year.

2023 Outlook

Timken is increasing its 2023 outlook, with full-year earnings per diluted share now forecasted to be in the range of $5.90 to $6.40 and adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $7.00 to $7.50. The company is now planning for 2023 revenue to be up approximately 9.5 percent in total at the midpoint from 2022, an increase from its prior outlook of 6 percent growth at the midpoint.

"Timken is raising its full-year guidance to reflect the company's strong first-quarter performance, the impact of the Nadella acquisition and an improved outlook for the rest of the year," said Kyle. "We now expect operating margins to increase in 2023, reflecting favorable price-cost and better operational execution. While uncertainty remains elevated for the second half, our backlog is high and customer demand is strong."

Kyle continued, "We are confident in our ability to achieve higher performance in 2023 and beyond, as we continue to execute our strategy to advance Timken as a diversified industrial leader."

Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt, the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital, and the Ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA:
(Unaudited)
These reconciliations are provided as additional relevant information about the Company's financial position deemed useful to investors. Capital, used for the ratio of net debt to capital, is a non-GAAP measure defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents plus total shareholders' equity. Management believes Net Debt, the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital, Adjusted EBITDA (see prior page), and the Ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are important measures of the Company's financial position, due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company presents net debt to adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is more representative of the Company's financial position as it is reflective of the ability to cover its net debt obligations with results from its core operations.

Reconciliation of EBITDA, After Adjustments, to GAAP Net Income:

(Unaudited)

The following reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the Company's performance deemed useful to investors. Management believes consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP measure that is useful to investors as it is representative of the Company's performance and that it is appropriate to compare GAAP net income to consolidated EBITDA. Management also believes that the non-GAAP measure of 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.

⁽¹⁾ Impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges (including items recorded in cost of products sold) relate to: (i) plant closures; (ii) the rationalization of certain plants; (iii) severance related to cost reduction initiatives; and (iv) impairment of assets. Impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 included $29.3 million related to the sale of Timken Aerospace Drives Systems, LLC ("ADS"). In addition, impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023 included $28.3 million related to the impairment of goodwill. The Company re-assesses its operating footprint and cost structure periodically, and makes adjustments as needed that result in restructuring charges. However, management believes these actions are not representative of the Company's core operations.

⁽²⁾ 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.

⁽³⁾ Acquisition-related charges represent deal-related expenses associated with completed transactions and any resulting inventory step-up impact.

⁽⁴⁾Represents the net gain resulting from divestitures and the sale of real estate.

⁽⁵⁾Russia-related charges include impairments or allowances recorded against certain property, plant and equipment, inventory and trade receivables to reflect the current impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine (and associated sanctions) on the Company's operations. In addition to impairments and allowances recorded, the Company recorded a loss on the divestiture of its Timken-Rus Service Company ooo ("Timken Russia") business during the third quarter of 2022. Refer to Russia Operations in Management Discussion and Analysis within the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for additional information.
