Timken Reports Strong Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Results
  • Sales of $1.08 billion in the fourth quarter, up 7 percent in total and 10 percent organically from last year
  • Fourth-quarter EPS of $1.32; adjusted EPS of $1.22
  • Record full-year 2022 EPS of $5.48; record adjusted EPS of $6.02
  • Starting in 2023, adjusted EPS will be revised to exclude acquisition intangible amortization expense
  • Company provides initial estimate for 2023 EPS of $5.80-$6.40, with adjusted EPS of $6.50-$7.10

NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR; www.timken.com), a global leader in engineered bearings and industrial motion products, today reported fourth-quarter 2022 sales of $1.08 billion, up 7.4 percent from the same period a year ago. The increase was driven by strong organic growth across most end-market sectors, and the favorable impact of acquisitions (net of divestitures), partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation. Organically, fourth-quarter sales were up 10.2 percent versus the prior year, with volume and pricing both contributing meaningfully.

Timken posted net income in the fourth quarter of $97.2 million or $1.32 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $62.9 million or $0.82 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. The year-on-year increase in net income primarily reflects the impact of positive price/mix and higher volume, partially offset by higher manufacturing and SG&A costs, and higher interest expense.

Excluding special items, adjusted net income in the fourth quarter was $89.6 million or $1.22 per diluted share, a record for the fourth quarter. This compares to adjusted net income of $59.6 million or $0.78 per diluted share for the same period in 2021.

Net cash from operations for the fourth quarter was $241.5 million, and free cash flow was $185.6 million. During the quarter, the company returned $40.8 million of cash to shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 250 thousand shares of company stock. Also, among recent developments, Timken acquired the assets of American Roller Bearing Co., which will enhance the company's strong market position in engineered bearings. In addition, Timken announced an agreement to acquire Nadella Group, which will expand the company's linear motion portfolio in attractive market sectors. In total, these two businesses generated revenue of approximately $140 million in 2022.

"We delivered excellent results in the fourth quarter, driven by strong execution and improved price-cost performance," said Richard G. Kyle, Timken president and chief executive officer. "In 2022, Timken continued to grow its position as a diversified industrial leader and delivered record revenue and earnings per share with solid operating margin expansion. We have the right strategy, the right team and the right portfolio in place to continue our positive momentum heading into 2023."

2022 Full-Year Results and Highlights

For 2022, sales were $4.5 billion, up 8.8 percent compared with 2021. The increase was primarily driven by organic growth across most end-market sectors, as well as the impact of higher pricing and acquisitions, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation. Organically, 2022 sales were up 11.6 percent versus 2021.

Net income was $407.4 million or a record $5.48 per diluted share for the year, compared with net income of $369.1 million or $4.79 per diluted share a year ago. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects positive price/mix and the impact of higher volume, partially offset by higher operating costs and interest expense, a higher tax rate, and the net unfavorable impact of impairment charges and other special items (detailed in the attached tables).

Excluding special items, adjusted net income was $447.8 million or a record $6.02 per diluted share in 2022. This compares with adjusted net income of $363.4 million or adjusted earnings of $4.72 per diluted share in 2021.

Net cash from operations for the full year was $463.8 million, and free cash flow was $285.4 million. Timken ended the year with a strong balance sheet; net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was 1.9 times as of December 31, 2022.

Among other highlights in 2022, the company:

  • Bolstered its engineered bearings portfolio with the acquisition of GGB Bearings, a global supplier of highly engineered and customized plain bearings and a leader in metal polymer bearings;
  • Expanded its robotics and automation offering in attractive end market sectors with the acquisition of Spinea, a technology leader in highly engineered cycloidal reduction gears and actuators;
  • Repurchased 3.25 million shares, or over 4 percent of outstanding shares, and increased its quarterly dividend. In 2022, the company achieved 100 years of paying quarterly dividends and marked its ninth consecutive year of higher annual dividends. In total, Timken returned $303 million to shareholders during the year through dividends and share repurchases; and
  • Was named one of America's Most Responsible Companies for the third straight year by Newsweek magazine and Statista Inc. This recognition is a testament to Timken's strong core values and commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Fourth-Quarter 2022 Segment Results

Process Industries sales of $586.4 million increased 11.1 percent from the same period a year ago. The increase was driven by organic growth across all sectors led by distribution, heavy industries and general industrial, and the favorable impact of acquisitions (net), partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation.

EBITDA for the quarter was $137.1 million or 23.4 percent of sales, compared with EBITDA of $104.4 million or 19.8 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The increase in EBITDA was driven primarily by the impact of positive price/mix and higher volume, partially offset by higher manufacturing and SG&A costs and the unfavorable impact of currency.

Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $142.9 million or 24.4 percent of sales, compared with $105.3 million or 20.0 percent of sales in the fourth quarter last year.

Mobile Industries sales of $495.6 million increased 3.3 percent compared with the same period a year ago. The increase was driven by organic growth across most sectors led by off-highway and rail, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation.

EBITDA for the quarter was $52.9 million or 10.7 percent of sales, compared with EBITDA of $40.0 million or 8.3 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The increase in EBITDA was driven primarily by positive price/mix, partially offset by higher manufacturing and SG&A costs.

Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $56.2 million or 11.3 percent of sales, compared with $41.3 million or 8.6 percent of sales in the fourth quarter last year.

2023 Outlook

Going forward, Timken is revising its adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share calculations to exclude acquisition intangible amortization expense. Amortization expense has grown in recent years driven by acquisitions, and the company believes this change will better reflect its core operating earnings and improve comparability versus peers.

Timken is setting an initial outlook for 2023 earnings per diluted share in the range of $5.80 to $6.40. Excluding acquisition intangible amortization expense and other special items, the company estimates that 2023 adjusted earnings per diluted share will be in the range of $6.50 to $7.10. The company expects 2023 revenue to be up approximately 6 percent in total at the midpoint from 2022.

"We are planning for 2023 to be another year of growth for The Timken Company," said Kyle. "We expect to benefit from favorable price-cost, organic outgrowth initiatives, improving operational execution and the impact of our recent acquisitions. While uncertainty remains elevated, we continue to see healthy demand and the year is already off to a strong start." 

Kyle continued, "We are projecting a sizeable step-up in operating cash flow this year and we will continue to create value through our disciplined approach to capital allocation. Our team is excited about the opportunities in front of us and confident in our strategy to drive profitable growth and strong shareholder returns over time."

(1) EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as operating income plus other income (expense) and excluding depreciation and amortization. EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP measure defined as EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin are important financial measures used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.  Management believes that reporting EBITDA and EBITDA Margin is useful to investors as these measures are representative of the core operations of the segments and Company, respectively.

         

(2) Corporate pension and other postretirement benefit related income (expense) primarily represents actuarial (losses) and gains that resulted from the remeasurement of plan assets and obligations as a result of changes in assumptions or experience. The Company recognizes actuarial (losses) and gains in connection with the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or if specific events trigger a remeasurement. Refer to the Retirement Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans footnotes within the Company's annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.

         

(3) The acquisition-related gain represents a bargain purchase price gain on the acquisition of the assets of Aurora Bearing Company ("Aurora") that closed on November 30, 2020.

(1) Adjustments are pre-tax, with the net tax provision listed separately.

                           

(2) 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; (iv) impairment of assets held for sale; and (v) related depreciation and amortization. Impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges for 2022 included $29.3 million related to the sale of Timken Aerospace Drives Systems, LLC ("ADS"). 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.

                           

(3) 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 losses and (gains) in connection with the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or if specific events trigger a remeasurement. Refer to the Retirement Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans footnotes within the Company's annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.

                           

(4) 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.

                           

(5) Acquisition-related charges represent deal-related expenses associated with completed transactions and certain unsuccessful transactions, as well as any resulting inventory step-up impact. In addition, the 2021 acquisition-related charges includes an acquisition-related gain due to measurement period adjustments to the bargain purchase gain on the acquisition of the assets of Aurora that closed on November 30, 2020.

                           

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

                           

(7) Provision for income taxes includes the net tax impact on pre-tax adjustments (listed above), the impact of discrete tax items recorded during the respective periods as well as other adjustments to reflect the use of one overall effective tax rate on adjusted pre-tax income in interim periods.

   
                                                                                     

 

                                                           

Reconciliation of EBITDA to GAAP Net Income, EBITDA Margin to Net Income as a Percentage of Sales, and EBITDA Margin, After Adjustments, to Net Income as a Percentage of Sales, and EBITDA, After Adjustments, to 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 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and EBITDA margin are useful to investors as they are representative of the Company's core operations and are used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.

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.
