PR Newswire

NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR; www.timken.com), a world leader in engineered bearings and mechanical power transmission products, today reported third-quarter 2017 sales of $771.4 million, up 17.3 percent from the same period a year ago. The results reflect higher demand across most end-market sectors led by industrial distribution and off-highway, as well as the benefit of acquisitions and currency.

In the third quarter, Timken posted net income of $53.5 million or $0.68 per diluted share, versus net income of $33.6 million or $0.43 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year increase in net income reflects the impact of higher volume, favorable manufacturing performance, lower impairment and restructuring charges, and the benefit of acquisitions and currency. This was partially offset by higher material, logistics and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs.

Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2017 was $55.9 million or $0.71 per diluted share, up from $42.1 million or $0.53 per diluted share for the same period in 2016.

"We reported strong revenue and earnings growth in the quarter as we continued to see increased demand for our products and services globally," said Richard G. Kyle, Timken president and chief executive officer. "We executed well, delivering strong organic growth and expanding operating margins both sequentially and year-on-year. We also strengthened Timken's strategic position with the completion of the Groeneveld acquisition, our fifth acquisition in the last four quarters. Our organic growth initiatives and recent acquisitions are progressing well and will continue to deliver value for our shareholders."

Third-Quarter 2017 Segment Results

Mobile Industries reported sales of $422.8 million, up 19.7 percent compared with the same period a year ago, driven primarily by the benefit of acquisitions, increased demand in the off-highway and heavy truck sectors and favorable currency, partially offset by lower automotive demand.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the quarter were $34.9 million or 8.3 percent of sales, compared with EBIT of $25.9 million or 7.3 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The increase in EBIT primarily reflects the impact of higher volume, favorable manufacturing performance, the benefit of acquisitions and currency, and lower impairment and restructuring charges, partially offset by unfavorable price/mix and higher material, logistics and SG&A costs.

Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted EBIT in the quarter was $37.6 million or 8.9 percent of sales, compared with $32.4 million or 9.2 percent of sales in the third quarter last year.

Process Industries reported sales of $348.6 million, up 14.6 percent from the same period a year ago, driven primarily by increased demand in the industrial distribution and heavy industries sectors, increased shipments in wind energy and favorable currency.

EBIT for the quarter was $61.7 million or 17.7 percent of sales, compared with EBIT of $42 million or 13.8 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The increase in EBIT was driven by higher volume and favorable manufacturing performance, partially offset by higher material, logistics and SG&A costs. (Note: Adjusted EBIT is not detailed here, as there were no special items affecting Process Industries results in the current quarter.)

2017 Outlook

The company now expects 2017 revenue to be up approximately 12 percent in total versus 2016. Within its segments, the company estimates for full-year 2017:

  • Mobile Industries sales to be up approximately 13 percent, driven by the benefit of acquisitions and currency, and improved demand in the off-highway and heavy truck sectors, partially offset by softer demand in the rail sector.
  • Process Industries sales to be up approximately 11 percent, reflecting growth across most end-market sectors led by industrial distribution and the benefit of acquisitions and currency.

Timken now anticipates 2017 earnings per diluted share to range from $2.78 to $2.83 for the full year on a GAAP basis, which does not account for the mark-to-market pension remeasurement in the fourth quarter.

Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), the company expects 2017 adjusted earnings per diluted share to range from $2.58 to $2.63.

"We continue to advance our strategy, and combined with the strength in our end markets, we are forecasting to finish 2017 with strong year-on-year performance improvement," said Kyle. "The mid-point of our guidance implies almost a 30 percent increase in fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share and solid operating margin expansion versus the prior year. Additionally, we expect to start 2018 with a higher backlog, growing markets and a healthy growth pipeline."

(1) Adjustments are pre-tax, with net tax provision (benefit) 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; and (iii) severance related to cost reduction initiatives. The Company re-assesses its operating footprint 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) Acquisition related charges in 2017 relate to the acquisition of Groeneveld Group ("Groeneveld"), Torsion Control Products, Inc. ("Torsion Control Products"), PT Tech, Inc. ("PT Tech") and EDT Corp. ("EDT"), including one-time transaction costs.
















(4) The gain on the sale of real estate related to the sale of a manufacturing facility in South Africa and a manufacturing facility in Altavista, Virgina during the second and third quarter of 2017, respectively.
















(5) In 2017, pension related charges represent actuarial losses that resulted from the remeasurement of pension plan assets and obligations as a result of changes in assumptions. The Company recognizes actuarial (gains) and losses through earnings in connection with the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if specific events trigger a remeasurement. In 2016, pension related charges represented professional fees associated with the implementation of a group annuity contract.
















(6) CDSOA (income) expense, net, represents the amount of funds received by the Company from monies collected by U.S. Customs on entries of merchandise subject to anti-dumping orders that entered the U.S. prior to October 1, 2007.
















(7) Health care plan modification costs represent one-time charges associated with a redesign in medical insurance options available for active associates. In connection with the redesign, the Company elected to pay certain unused reimbursement account balances to associates impacted by the change in available options.
















(8) The tax indemnification in 2017 represents a receivable from TimkenSteel related to the settlement of certain tax liabilities and pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement between the Company and TimkenSteel dated June 30, 2014.  This amount was recorded in other income.                                      
















(9) (Benefit) provision for income taxes includes the impact of discrete tax items recorded during the respective periods, including the net benefit of prior year tax matters during the second quarter of 2017, as well as the net tax impact on pre-tax adjustments, to reflect the use of one overall effective tax rate on adjusted pre-tax income in interim periods

 

 

Reconciliation of EBIT to GAAP Net Income (Loss), and EBIT Margin, After Adjustments, to Net Income (Loss) as a Percentage of Sales and EBIT, After Adjustments, to Net Income (Loss):

(Unaudited)










The following reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the Company's performance deemed useful to investors.  Management believes consolidated earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (EBIT) 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 (loss) to consolidated EBIT. Management also believes that non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT 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.

(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; and (iii) severance related to cost reduction initiatives. The Company re-assesses its operating footprint 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) CDSOA (income) expense, net, represents the amount of funds received by the Company from monies collected by U.S. Customs on entries of merchandise subject to anti-dumping orders that entered the U.S. prior to October 1, 2007.











(3) Health care plan modification costs represent one-time charges associated with a redesign in medical insurance options available for active associates. In connection with the redesign, the Company elected to pay certain unused reimbursement account balances to associates impacted by the change in available options.
 











(4) Acquisition related charges in 2017 relate to the acquisition of Groeneveld, Torsion Control Products, PT Tech and EDT, including one-time transaction costs.











(5) The gain on the sale of real estate related to the sale of a manufacturing facility in South Africa and a manufacturing facility in Altavista, Virgina during the second and third quarter of 2017, respectively.











(6) In 2017, pension related charges represent actuarial losses that resulted from the remeasurement of pension plan assets and obligations as a result of changes in assumptions. The Company recognizes actuarial (gains) and losses through earnings in connection with the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if specific events trigger a remeasurement. In 2016, pension related charges represented professional fees associated with the implementation of a group annuity contract.











(7) The tax indemnification in 2017 represents a receivable from TimkenSteel related to the settlement of certain tax liabilities and pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement between the Company and TimkenSteel dated June 30, 2014.  This amount was recorded in other income.

Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt and the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital to the Ratio of Total Debt to Capital:

(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 total debt to capital, is a non-GAAP measure defined as total debt plus total shareholders' equity. Capital, used for the ratio of net debt to capital, is a non-GAAP measure defined as total debt less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash plus total shareholders' equity. Management believes Net Debt and the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital are important measures of the Company's financial position, due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand.
