2013Building Our Future 

With a firm hold on the core values of our 115-year-old enterprise, we 
performed well in 2013, even as we began the process of forging bright, 
independent futures for both our steel and bearings and power transmission 
businesses.  Enterprise-wide, our work incorporates The Timken Company’s 
very best: focused leadership, high-performance products and materials, and 
services and know-how that help our customers succeed even as they face  
some of their biggest challenges.  We confidently look forward to a strong 
2014 and beyond.

he future of The Timken Company builds upon our strong  
reputation, supported by our ability to deliver consistent value  
and focused upon our clear vision for what lies ahead.  

In every way, 2013 marked a momentous year for our company.  As we detail the  
year’s accomplishments and our strategic decisions, we do so with confidence in our ability  
to deliver sustained results for Timken shareholders and customers around the world. 

T

Performance Reflects Sustained Strength  
In the years to come, when historians describe  
The Timken Company’s second century of  
successful operations, 2013 will be characterized  
as among our most strategically significant.  
Throughout the year, we 
worked hard to remain 
exceptional stewards of 
the value we bring to our 
stakeholders.

Financially, 2013 
performance stands as 
noteworthy considering the 
lingering weak demand in our broad end markets.   
Conditions continued to challenge industrial 
economies and undermine our aspirations for  
growth globally, yet despite weakened  
demand, we performed well 
while operating our plants at low 
utilization levels.

In December, the Timken board of 
directors declared the company’s 
366th consecutive quarterly 
cash dividend, demonstrating 
consistency of returns that 
stands as a distinguished 
accomplishment among New 
York Stock Exchange members.  

In 2013, through dividend and stock buybacks,  
we returned a total of $277 million of capital to  
our shareholders.

Our financial strength also allowed us to make 
discretionary contributions to our pension plans and 
we closed 2013 with our pension 
plans essentially fully funded.  

Operationally, we 
demonstrated excellence 
in many areas of our 
enterprise in 2013. 

Operationally, we demonstrated 
excellence in many areas of  
our enterprise in 2013.  Our 
associates found new ways 
to both drive efficiency and 
minimize risk.  A continuously

improving safety culture across our global operations 
is a vibrant example of this effort.  Over the past  
10 years, we’ve posted a 96 percent reduction in  

lost-time injuries and days lost.   
In 2013 alone, we eliminated more 
than 224 ergonomic risks and our 
popular Ergo Cup competition 
generated 56 entries from around  
the world.  Every day, we see  
Timken people apply their  
exceptional talents to deliver results  
to all stakeholders.  Our people  
remain our most important asset  
and we value their safety more  
than anything.

Teams across Timken made us 
all safer in 2013, identifying and 
addressing 224 ergonomic risks.

We pushed ourselves in the area of productivity and 
efficiency as well.  We upgraded our SAP® system 
with virtually no downtime, and our major global 
systems – including web, email and telephone – 
experienced uptime of 99.97 percent, enviable for 
any manufacturer.  We maintained industry-leading 
customer service and delivery with improved labor 
performance across our operations.  Our steel 
business completed successful and seamless start-ups 
of four major strategic projects.  We also eliminated 
nearly 600,000 material “touches” in steel finishing 
and pushed our melt utilization breakeven point to 
industry-leading levels.

At the same time, we continued to pursue  
strategic growth initiatives, expanding our existing 
product lines as well as investing in new adjacent 
products and services.  Through acquisitions, we 
expanded our product portfolio to include automated 
lubrication systems with Interlube Systems Ltd.; we 
extended our industrial services capabilities  
to include electric motor rewind services and  
uptower wind generator maintenance; and we 
improved our geographic coverage with the  
additions of Wazee Companies, Standard  
Machine and Smith Services.

We’re proud of these achievements, which follow 
record-setting financial performances in 2011  
and 2012, and provide proof of our diligence in  
improving our structure and earnings ability.

New Capabilities Drive Our Future
Last spring, we completed capital projects totaling 
$85 million in our steel business.  These include a 
3,300-ton forge press at the Faircrest Steel Plant in 
Canton, Ohio, automating the production of seamless 
mechanical tubing with the intermediate finishing 
line and extending our value-add capabilities with 
a second induction thermal treatment line at the 
Gambrinus Steel Plant, also in Canton.  In early fall, our 
second ladle refining station came online – a nearly 
$25 million investment.  These, along with the large 
bloom continuous caster expected to be online in the 
second half of 2014, will continue to improve both  
our efficiency and increase the differentiation of our 
high-performance Timken® steel products. 

Work also continues on our North Canton  
bearings headquarters.  When complete in 2014,  
the fully expanded and renovated campus will  
house 1,200 associates across multiple disciplines.  
We’ve designed it to dynamically showcase our many 
products and services and serve as a global hub to 
host our customers.

We maintained collaborative relationships in both 
industrial and academic settings with renowned 
specialists in our core disciplines of metallurgy, friction 
management and mechanical power transmission.  In 
June, we celebrated one of these initiatives, unveiling 
the Technology and Test Center built together  
with Stark State College.  The $14 million center, 

In late 2013, associates began moving into a new 160,000-square-foot addition to the company’s technology center in North Canton, Ohio.   
This $65 million investment effectively doubles the size of the campus and is slated to become headquarters for The Timken Company.

conditions similar to those found in large multi-megawatt 

wind turbines.  Testing 
capabilities are flexible 
enough to focus beyond 
wind turbine applications 
to include other large

shovels in mining, steel rolling mills, cement vertical  
mills and hydraulic roll presses.

A Monumental Decision
The same type of responsible management that led  
to our 2013 operational performance and our strategic  
capital improvements also led to a historic moment  
for the company: the decision last fall to pursue separating  
our steel business from The Timken Company later  
in 2014.

At our annual meeting last May, a proposal to separate  
our steel business into an independent company received  
53 percent of the votes cast.  In response to the shareholder 
vote, the board subsequently established a strategy  
committee composed of independent directors.  With  
the help of strategic and financial advisors, the strategy 
committee carefully reviewed the financial and operational 
implications of separating the company’s businesses, 
along with potential changes to the company’s corporate 
governance and capital allocation strategy.

In September, Richard G. Kyle  
was named chief operating  
officer of bearings and power 
transmission; he was elected  
a director in December.   
Mr. Kyle joined Timken in 
2006 with extensive industrial 
experience and has subsequently 

held executive positions with the company 
that include vice president of manufacturing, 
president of Aerospace and Mobile Industries,  
and most recently, group president, responsible 
for both Steel and Aerospace.  In conjunction  
with the separation of the steel business and  
James W. Griffith’s retirement from The Timken  
Company, the board expects Mr. Kyle to succeed  
Mr. Griffith as president and chief executive  
officer of The Timken Company.

The board also announced that it intends to  
name Ward J. “Tim” Timken, Jr., as chairman and  
chief executive officer of the to-be-launched  
TimkenSteel Corporation, which is expected to 
trade on the NYSE under the “TMST” symbol.   
John M. Timken is expected to be named  
non-executive chair of The Timken Company.

Ward J. “Jack” Timken intends to retire,  
in 2014, per normal course, from the  
Timken board of directors after a long and 

distinguished career with  
the company.  We thank him  
for his tenured dedication,  
broad knowledge and valuable  
insights brought to the  
board and The Timken Company  
throughout his 43 years  
of board service.

“Preparing for two strong companies tests the depth of a succession plan.  One of the  
  reasons the board of directors feels confident in the spinoff of the steel business at  
  this time is the readiness of future leaders to step up in 2014.  The board unanimously  
  supports these leaders and I am confident they will continue to build momentum to  
  maximize value for investors, customers and employees of both companies.”        
                              – Joseph W. Ralston, Lead Director

Together,  
we’ve explored what  
separation means to  
The Timken Company,  
our shareholders, 
customers, suppliers, 
community stakeholders 
and worldwide  
associates.

After a thorough  
review of these findings,  
we announced on 
September 5, 2013, that  
the Timken board of 
directors approved a plan  
to pursue a tax-free spinoff 
of the steel business from  
The Timken Company, 

creating a new independent publicly traded  
steel company.

We commend and offer our personal thanks to  
the board of directors, particularly our lead director 
Joseph Ralston, who chaired the strategy committee, 
and the Timken leadership team for embracing this 
challenging decision with integrity, thoughtfulness 
and unwavering dedication.  Together, we’ve  
explored what separation means to The Timken 
Company, our shareholders, customers, suppliers, 
community stakeholders and worldwide associates.  
We remain committed to preserving many of the 
benefits shared by the businesses as we establish  
the new business relationship between the two 
companies.  With significant earnings power and 
potential, we see this as the appropriate “next step”  

6

to build on our core businesses and to capitalize  
on the momentum created by the initiative.  We 
remain confident that both The Timken Company  
and the soon-to-be-launched TimkenSteel 
Corporation can sustain their industry-leading 
performance.

Building Momentum
The events of 2013 tested our ability to re-examine, 
re-think and re-imagine the future of The Timken 
Company.  But those deliberations were quickly 
put well behind us, and we are building two strong 
companies as we move forward into a new era.  Both 
will be laser-focused on growth in their core markets 
and optimized with individual capital structures 
and capital allocation strategies.  We expect each 
company will have improved strategic flexibility  
to invest in its respective business, to pursue 
acquisitions and to attract a more focused  
shareholder base. 

To effectively realize the potential of our future 
structure, we formed the Project Management 
Organization and, by the end of the third quarter, 
the group was hard at work identifying hundreds of 
separation activities against an aggressive timeline.  

Our Profound Thanks

James W. Griffith announced in September he will retire from The Timken Company in 
2014, coinciding with the separation of the steel business.  He has served The Timken 
Company since 1984, holding a wide range of positions – from plant manager to vice 
president of manufacturing in North America and later as managing director of the 
company’s business in Australia and then vice president of automotive. 

In 1999, he was elected president, chief operating officer and director and was  
named chief executive officer in 2002.

Because of their efforts and quick start, we successfully 
met our milestone for filing a preliminary information 
statement early in the year with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission and fully expect to meet our 
subsequent target of a mid-year separation.

Value-Driven
We are moving forward to secure new futures for 
both companies, each with very capable leaders and 
exceptionally talented teams.  As we complete the 
process, our values remain unchanged.  

We expect to continue to positively support and help 
shape the communities where we work and play.  
Timken associates and our charitable fund give back 
to a myriad of causes through organized programs 
and personal gifts of time, talent and resources. 

This past year, The Timken Company Charitable and 
Educational Fund, Inc. awarded scholarships to  
38 children of Timken employees from 24 locations 
to help them attend the universities of their choice.  
Since its founding in 1958, this educational program 
has awarded more than $20 million in scholarships.  
This fall, we also completed another highly successful 
series of United Way drives and, across our plant 
communities around the world, our corporate giving 
efforts supported more than 400 organizations in 
addressing basic needs, education and economic 
development. 

At our core, we are values-driven, and we celebrate  
and thank our employees worldwide for their 
dedication to living by them.

To our shareholders and customers, we appreciate 
your continued investment and confidence as we 
prepare bright futures for both our bearings and steel 
organizations.  We enter 2014 with determination 
and energy, entirely focused on growing and creating 
shareholder value through two great companies.

The Timken bearings and power transmission business  
recorded notable results in 2013 in the midst of soft global 
industrial markets.  Mobile Industries, Process Industries and 
Aerospace together posted sales of approximately $3 billion in 
2013.  Through the year, we continued to execute our strategic 
plan, directing our focus not only to cost improvement but 
also to growth in long-term attractive markets and quickly 
developing geographies.  We further broadened our services 
footprint and introduced new products to help our customers 
solve equipment performance problems, especially for 
applications in harsh and demanding environments.

Expanding Our Global Reach
Continuing our geographic diversification is fundamental to  
the growth of The Timken Company.  Our own Timken sales

and complemented our portfolio with additions  
of chain, couplings and lubrication systems.  We 
continue to seek businesses to join our growing 
portfolio of services, leveraging our network to 
provide more rapid expansion and greater value 
around the world.  

To illustrate, we added to our footprint in 2013 with  
the completion of three acquisitions:

Interlube Systems, Ltd., Plymouth, U.K. – a manufacturer 
and installer of automated lubrication delivery systems 
and related components to end-market sectors 
including commercial vehicles, construction, mining 
and general industries;

Smith Services Inc., Princeton, West Virginia – a

Developing New Products for Growth
In addition to acquisitions, we continue to pursue 
vigorous product expansion. In collaboration with  
our customers, we are building out our range of 
industrial and aerospace bearings. 

In April, we introduced a new line of Timken® SNT 
plummer block housed units adding to our existing 
line of split-block units.  This product addresses  
global demand for a metric plummer block design 
and, with this introduction, Timken offers one of  
the most complete lines of quality housed units in  
the world. 

We also announced an expansion of tapered roller 
bearing sets, hub units and seals for medium-duty 
vehicles, including commercial vans, delivery  
trucks, bucket trucks and other fleet vehicles.

Taking Steps to Thrive in 2014
Throughout the year, and especially in the third 
quarter, we implemented a number of cost-reduction 
initiatives across the globe.  These included two plant  
rationalizations in North America and broad-based 
variable cost reductions in manufacturing  
and logistics.

We move into our future with a tremendous  
amount of excitement.  For The Timken Company,  
its customers, shareholders and its employees,  
2014 marks the beginning of a new era.  We look 
forward to it.

Our steel business stands as the  

leader in special bar quality steel 

and seamless mechanical tubing, 

with an annual melt capacity of 

approximately two million tons.   

We employ a business model that is 

unique in the industry and focuses 

on creating tailored products and 

services for our customers’ most 

demanding applications.  Our 

engineers offer deep expertise in 

both materials and applications, 

and we often work closely with 

customers to deliver flexible 

solutions related to our products as 

well as their applications and supply 

chains.  Few others can consistently 

deliver such customization and 

responsiveness.

Delivering Strong Performance
In 2013, the steel business recorded sales of $1.4 billion.*  
Despite soft markets, the business drove profitability and  
posted strong operating performance by delivering tailored  
steel solutions.  The success of a multi-year strategy to boost 
operating efficiencies drove this performance, even at plant  
melt utilization of 59 percent.  Targeted investments further 
strengthen a solid foundation, supporting greater efficiency  
as well as earnings power, and we’re excited at the prospect  
of leveraging market conditions as they improve.

Investing for the Future
This year, we began to realize initial benefits from our  
$500 million multi-year steel capital investment program.   
We designed our plan to further strengthen our ability to  
provide differentiated solutions for the energy, industrial 
and automotive markets and, at the same time, enhance our 
operational performance and customer service capabilities. 
These efforts include:
•  A 3,300-ton open-die in-line forge press, which got off to a 

fast start in 2013.  The forge press uses an innovative process 
developed by Timken to enhance center soundness of a  
larger cross-section of Timken® special bar quality steel. 
Combined with new ultrasonic testing equipment, the

executive officer of TimkenSteel 
Corporation.

  new forging capabilities offer customers steel bars that can unlock new market 

opportunities and greater operating efficiencies. 

•  Our new intermediate steel tube finishing line started up in February.  The 

line increases operational efficiencies by incorporating the latest technologies 
and employing lean processes, significantly eliminating product handling and 
material movements – essential to Timken steel quality and the continued 
advancement of our organizational safety practices.  The operation advances 
testing accuracy, reduces processing times and incorporates an environmentally 
friendly de-scaling system.

•  A second induction thermal treatment line at the Gambrinus Steel Plant 

introduces about 40,000 tons of normalized thermal-treat capacity annually.  
Used in conjunction with current thermal-treat assets, the line helps increase 
quench and temper capacity.  

•  An additional ladle refining station, a nearly $25 million investment in itself,  

also came online in the fall of 2013.  This station adds efficiencies and increases 
our capability to make more complex grades of high-performance steel.   
Our reputation for delivering industry-best chemical control and precision 
increases with this investment.

•  Lastly, we expect hot commissioning of the capstone of our investment project, a 
jumbo vertical continuous caster that will provide large bar capabilities unique in 
the United States, in the second half of 2014.  With the caster, the first of its kind in 
the Americas, we expect to produce the world’s largest steel cross-sections with 
cleanness levels that equal ingot casting.   

Taken together, these investments allow Timken to 
increase shippable capacity, productivity and yields, 
and create greater operational flexibility, offering 
alternative production paths.  This translates into 
greater customer responsiveness, especially in times 
of peak demand, as well as expands our product 
offering to customers with demanding  
application needs.

comes from Timken people –  
including the metallurgists, 
engineers and technicians –  
who write the specifications for the equipment  
and the formulas for our steel solutions.

Recently, our researchers and technology experts 
introduced a new additive manufacturing process  
for producing piercing mill tooling.  Now, we have  
the potential to improve tooling life, reduce costs  
and increase piercing mill productivity without 
sacrificing quality.

At the same time, we introduced new grades of  
high-performance alloy steel that meet key API and 
NACE standards and better serve our customers  
in the rapidly expanding energy industry.  We’re  

also extending our reach into the growing need for 
heavy wall – high pressure, high temperature oil 
country tubular goods.  

Our strong relationships with leading drilling and 
completion tool customers, especially for offshore 
high-performance applications, led to increased  
orders in 2013 and ongoing strength into 2014.

Internationally, we also expanded  
our applications – and our oil and gas 
customer base – in the developing 
regions of Russia, Africa and China.  In 
Europe, our forge-rolled bar products 
enabled us to build a larger presence 
with oil and gas customers.  In Australia 
and Canada, our value-added boring 

specialty products helped us grow our mining 
application business. In South America, a bolstered 
distribution network helped us secure new  
customers.

Renewing Our Promise, Maintaining Our Focus
Our commitment to being an industry leader in  
the high-performance steel market has never  
been stronger or more evident.  Equipped with  
new investments and greater operational  
efficiencies realized in 2013, we are better positioned 
than ever to deliver sustainable value and capitalize 
on the opportunities ahead.

2013 Timken Annual ReportBUSINESS SUMMARYBUSINESS

Tapered Roller Bearings. The tapered roller bearing is the Company’s original entrant to the anti-friction bearing sector. Tapered 
rollers permit ready absorption of both radial and axial load combinations. For this reason, tapered roller bearings are particularly 
well-adapted to reducing friction where shafts, gears or wheels are used. Bearings generally consist of four components: (1) the 
cone or inner race; (2) the cup or outer race; (3) the rollers, which roll between the cup and cone; and (4) the cage, which serves as 
a retainer and maintains proper spacing between the rollers. They can be found wherever gears and shafts turn in a wide variety 
of market sectors, including construction and mining, metal and paper-making mills, commercial truck and power generation.

Precision  Cylindrical  and  Ball  Bearings.  The  Company’s  aerospace  facilities  produce  high-performance  ball  and  cylindrical 
bearings for ultra high-speed and/or high-accuracy applications in space and robotic vehicles, including Curiosity, the newest 
Mars rover. Customers for these precision bearings also include manufacturers of medical and health equipment, machine tools, 
critical  motion  control  systems  and  precision  robotics. These  bearings  utilize  ball  and  straight  rolling  elements  and  are  in  the 
super-precision  end  of  the  general  ball  and  straight  roller  bearing  product  range  in  the  bearing  industry.  A  majority  of  these 
bearings products are custom-designed bearings and spindle assemblies. They often utilize specialized materials and coatings in 
applications that subject the bearings to extreme operating conditions of speed and temperature.

Spherical and Cylindrical Roller Bearings. Timken produces spherical and cylindrical roller bearings for large gear drives, rolling 
mills and other industrial and infrastructure development applications. These products are sold worldwide to original equipment 
manufacturers and industrial distributors serving major end-market sectors, including construction and mining, natural resources, 
defense,  pulp  and  paper  production,  rolling  mills  and  general  industrial  goods. The  same  rigorous  analysis  and  development 
apply to these products.

Chains and Augers. Through the acquisition of Drives, LLC (Drives) in 2011, Timken manufactures precision roller chain, pintle 
chain,  agricultural  conveyor  chain,  engineering  class  chain,  oil  field  roller  chain  and  auger  products.  These  highly  engineered 
products are vital to a wide range of mobile and industrial machinery applications, including agriculture, oil and gas, aggregate and 
mining, primary metals, forest products and other heavy industries. They also are utilized in the food and beverage and packaged 
goods sectors, which often require high-end, specialty products, including stainless-steel and corrosion-resistant roller chains.

Gear-Drive Systems. Through the acquisition of the assets of Philadelphia Gear Corp. (Philadelphia Gear) in 2011, Timken provides 
aftermarket  gear  box  repair  services  and  gear-drive  systems  for  the  industrial,  energy  and  military  marine  sectors,  including 
refining and pipeline systems, mining, cement, pulp and paper making and water management systems.

Services. Timken offers a broad array of industrial services including bearing reconditioning and repair; condition monitoring 
and reliability services designed to maximize performance; and durability and maintenance intervals for industrial and railroad 
customers, both domestically and internationally. Other services include maintenance and rework of large industrial equipment 
used in metal-making mills and the energy sectors. Services accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s net sales for the year 
ended December 31, 2013.

Aerospace  Products  and  Services.  The  Company’s  portfolio  of  parts,  systems  and  services  for  the  aerospace  market  sector 
has grown to include products used in helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft for the military and commercial aviation industries. 
Timken designs, manufactures and tests a wide variety of power transmission and drive train components, including bearings, 
transmissions, turbine engine components, gears and rotor-head assemblies and housings. Other parts include airfoils (such as 
blades,  vanes,  rotors  and  diffusers),  nozzles  and  other  precision  flight-critical  components.  In  addition  to  original  equipment, 
Timken provides a wide range of aftermarket products and services for global customers, including complete engine overhaul, 
bearing  repair,  component  reconditioning  and  replacement  parts  for  gas  turbine  engines,  transmissions  and  fuel  controls,

2013 Timken Annual ReportSteel. Timken manufactures alloy steel as well as carbon and micro-alloy steel. Included in its portfolio are specialty bar quality 
(SBQ) bars and seamless mechanical tubing. In addition, Timken supplies machining and thermal treatment services, as well as 
manages raw material recycling programs. Timken’s metallurgical expertise and unique operational capabilities drive customized, 
high-value solutions for the mobile, industrial and energy sectors.

Timken focuses on creating tailored products and services for their customers’ most demanding applications and supply chains, 
and most of their steel is custom-engineered. Timken leverages its technical knowledge, research expertise and production and 
engineering capabilities across all of its products and end markets to deliver high-performance steel products to its customers. 
Timken’s engineers are experts both in materials and applications, enabling us to deliver flexible solutions related to steel products 
as well as their applications and supply chains.

Precision Steel Components. Timken also produces custom-made steel products, including steel components for automotive 
and industrial customers. Steel components provide the Company with the opportunity to further expand its market for tubing 
and  capture  higher  value-added  steel  sales  by  streamlining  customer  supply  chains.  It  also  enables  traditional Timken  tubing 
customers in the automotive and bearing industries to take advantage of ready-to-finish components that cost less than other 
alternatives.  Customization  of  products  is  an  important  element  of  the  Company’s  steel  business  where  mechanical  power 
transmission is critical to the end customer.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION:
Timken products are sold principally by its own internal sales organizations. A portion of each segment’s sales are made through 
authorized distributors. 

Customer collaboration is central to the Company’s sales strategy. Therefore, Timken goes where its customers need them, with 
sales engineers primarily working in close proximity to customers rather than at production sites. In some cases, Timken may 
co-locate with a customer at their facility to ensure optimized collaboration. The Company’s sales force constantly updates the 
team’s training and knowledge regarding all friction management products and market sector trends, and Timken employees 
assist customers during development and implementation phases and provide ongoing service and support.

The Company has a joint venture in North America focused on joint logistics and e-business services. This joint venture, CoLinx, 
LLC, includes five equity members: Timken, SKF Group, the Schaeffler Group, Rockwell Automation and Gates Corporation. The 
e-business service focuses on information and business services for authorized distributors in the Process Industries segment.

Most  orders  for  Timken’s  steel  products  are  customized  to  satisfy  customer-specific  applications  and  are  shipped  directly  to 
customers from the Company’s steel manufacturing plants. Less than 10% of the Timken Steel segment’s net sales are intersegment 
sales. In addition, sales are made to other anti-friction bearing companies and to the automotive and truck, forging, construction, 
industrial equipment, oil and gas drilling, aircraft industries and to steel service centers.

Timken has entered into individually negotiated contracts with some of its customers. These contracts may extend for one or 
more  years  and,  if  a  price  is  fixed  for  any  period  extending  beyond  current  shipments,  customarily  include  a  commitment  by 
the customer to purchase a designated percentage of its requirements from Timken. Timken does not believe that there is any 
significant loss of earnings risk associated with any given contract.

2013 Timken Annual ReportBUSINESS SUMMARYBUSINESS

COMPETITION:
The anti-friction bearing business is highly competitive in every country where Timken sells products. Timken competes primarily 
based  on  total  value,  including  price,  quality,  timeliness  of  delivery,  product  design  and  the  ability  to  provide  engineering 
support and service on a global basis. The Company competes with domestic manufacturers and many foreign manufacturers of  
anti-friction bearings, including SKF Group, the Schaeffler Group, NTN Corporation, JTEKT Corporation (JTEKT) and NSK Ltd.

The  steel  industry,  both  domestically  and  globally,  is  highly  competitive  and  is  expected  to  remain  so.  Maintaining  high 
standards of product quality and reliability, while keeping production costs competitive, is essential to the Company’s ability to 
compete with domestic and foreign manufacturers of mechanical components and alloy steel. Principal bar competitors include  
foreign-owned domestic producers Gerdau Special Steel North America (a unit of Brazilian steelmaker Gerdau, S.A) and Republic 
Steel (a unit of Mexican steel producer ICH), along with domestic steel producers Steel Dynamics, Inc. and Nucor Corporation. 
Seamless tubing competitors include foreign-owned domestic producers ArcelorMittal Tubular Products (a unit of Luxembourg-
based ArcelorMittal, S.A.), V&M Star Tubes (a unit of Vallourec, S.A.), and Tenaris, S.A. Additionally, Timken competes with a wide 
variety of offshore producers of both bars and tubes, including Sanyo Special Steel and Ovako Group AB. Timken also provides 
value-added steel products to its customers in the energy, industrial and automotive sectors. Competitors within the value-added 
market segment include Linamar, Jernberg and Curtis Screw Company.

JOINT VENTURES:
Investments in affiliated companies accounted for under the equity method were approximately $1.6 million and $1.1 million, 
respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The amount at December 31, 2013 was reported in other non-current assets on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2013 Timken Annual Report   
 
 
RAW MATERIALS:
The principal raw materials used by Timken in steel manufacturing are scrap metal, nickel, molybdenum and other alloys. The 
availability and costs of raw materials and energy resources are subject to curtailment or change due to, among other things, 
new laws or regulations, changes in global demand levels, suppliers’ allocations to other purchasers, interruptions in production 
by suppliers, changes in exchange rates and prevailing price levels. For example, the consumption cost of scrap metal increased 
23.4% from 2010 to 2011, decreased 6.1% from 2011 to 2012 and decreased 10.2% from 2012 to 2013.

The Company continues to expect that it will be able to pass a significant portion of cost increases through to customers in the 
form of price increases or surcharges.

Disruptions in the supply of raw materials or energy resources could temporarily impair the Company’s ability to manufacture its 
products for its customers or require the Company to pay higher prices in order to obtain these raw materials or energy resources 
from other sources, which could affect the Company’s revenues and profitability. Any increase in the costs for such raw materials or 
energy resources could materially affect the Company’s earnings. Timken believes that the availability of raw materials and alloys 
is adequate for its needs, and, in general, it is not dependent on any single source of supply.

RESEARCH:
Timken operates a network of technology and engineering centers to support its global customers with sites in North America, 
Europe and Asia. This network develops and delivers innovative friction management and mechanical power transmission solutions 
and technical services. The largest technical center is located in North Canton, Ohio, near Timken’s world headquarters. Other sites 
in the United States include Mesa, Arizona; Manchester, Connecticut; Fulton, Illinois; Keene and Lebanon, New Hampshire and 
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Within Europe, the Company has technology facilities in Plymouth, England; Colmar, France and 
Ploiesti, Romania. In Asia, Timken operates technology and engineering facilities in Bangalore, India and Shanghai, China.

Expenditures for research, development and application amounted to approximately $46.1 million, $52.6 million and $49.6 million 
in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $0.4 million, $0.8 million and $0.3 million were funded by 
others in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS:
The Company continues its efforts to protect the environment and comply with environmental protection laws. Additionally, 
it  has  invested  in  pollution  control  equipment  and  updated  plant  operational  practices.  The  Company  is  committed  to 
implementing a documented environmental management system worldwide and to becoming certified under the ISO 14001 
standard where appropriate to meet or exceed customer requirements. As of the end of 2013, 21 of the Company’s plants had 
obtained ISO 14001 certification.

The Company believes it has established appropriate reserves to cover its environmental expenses and has a well-established 
environmental compliance audit program for its domestic and international units. This program measures performance against 
applicable laws, as well as against internal standards that have been established for all units worldwide. It is difficult to assess 
the possible effect of compliance with future requirements that differ from existing ones. As previously reported, the Company 
is  unsure  of  the  future  financial  impact  to  the  Company  that  could  result  from  the  United  States  Environmental  Protection 
Agency’s (EPA’s) final rules to tighten the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for fine particulate and ozone. In addition, the 
Company is unsure of the future financial impact to the Company that could result from the EPA instituting hourly ambient air 
quality standards for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. The Company is also unsure of the potential future financial impact to the 
Company that could result from possible future legislation regulating emissions of greenhouse gases.

2013 Timken Annual ReportBUSINESS SUMMARYBUSINESS

The  Company  and  certain  of  its  U.S.  subsidiaries  have  been  identified  as  potentially  responsible  parties  for  investigation  and 
remediation  at  off-site  disposal  or  recycling  facilities  under  the  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response,  Compensation  
and  Liability  Act  (CERCLA),  known  as  the  Superfund,  or  state  laws  similar  to  CERCLA.  In  general,  such  claims  for  investigation 
and remediation have also been asserted against numerous other entities, which are believed to be financially solvent and are 
expected to substantially fulfill their proportionate share of the obligation.

Management believes any ultimate liability with respect to pending actions will not materially affect the Company’s operations, 
cash flows or consolidated financial position. The Company is also conducting environmental investigation and/or remediation 
activities  at  a  number  of  current  or  former  operating  sites. The  costs  of  such  investigation  and  remediation  activities,  in  the 
aggregate, are not expected to be material to the operations or financial position of the Company.

New laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination 
or  the  imposition  of  new  clean-up  requirements  may  require Timken  to  incur  costs  or  become  the  basis  for  new  or  increased 
liabilities that could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES:
Timken owns numerous U.S. and foreign patents, trademarks and licenses relating to certain products. While Timken regards these 
as important, it does not deem its business as a whole, or any industry segment, to be materially dependent upon any one item 
or group of items.

EMPLOYMENT:
At December 31, 2013, Timken had nearly 19,000 employees. Approximately 9% of Timken’s U.S. employees are covered under 
collective bargaining agreements.

The  following  are  certain  risk  factors  that  could  affect  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  The  risks  that  are 
highlighted below are not the only ones that we face. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating forward-
looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause our actual results and financial 
condition  to  differ  materially  from  those  projected  in  forward-looking  statements.  If  any  of  the  following  risks  actually  occur,  our 
business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. 

RISK RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS:

The bearing industry is highly competitive, and this competition results in significant pricing pressure for our 
products that could affect our revenues and profitability. 

The global bearing industry is highly competitive. We compete with domestic manufacturers and many foreign manufacturers 
of anti-friction bearings, including SKF Group, the Schaeffler Group, NTN Corporation, JTEKT and NSK Ltd. The bearing industry 
is  also  capital  intensive  and  profitability  is  dependent  on  factors  such  as  labor  compensation  and  productivity  and  inventory 
management,  which  are  subject  to  risks  that  we  may  not  be  able  to  control.  Due  to  the  competitiveness  within  the  bearing 
industry, we may not be able to increase prices for our products to cover increases in our costs. In many cases we face pressure 
from our customers to reduce prices, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. In addition, our customers may 
choose  to  purchase  products  from  one  of  our  competitors  rather  than  pay  the  prices  we  seek  for  our  products,  which  could 
adversely affect our revenues and profitability. 

Competition and consolidation in the steel industry, together with potential global overcapacity, could result in 
significant pricing pressure for our products. 

Competition within the steel industry, both domestically and worldwide, is intense and is expected to remain so. Global production 
overcapacity has occurred in the recent past and may recur in the future, which would exert downward pressure on domestic steel 
prices and result in, at times, a dramatic narrowing, or with many companies the elimination, of gross margins. High levels of steel 
imports into the United States could exacerbate this pressure on domestic steel prices. In addition, many of our competitors are 
continuously exploring and implementing strategies, including acquisitions and the addition or repositioning of capacity, which 
focus on manufacturing higher margin products that compete more directly with our steel products. Depending upon prevailing 
market  conditions  in  the  United  States  and  abroad,  the  value  of  the  U.S.  dollar  relative  to  other  currencies,  and  other  similar 
variables beyond our control, import activity into the United States and/or domestic production could continue to increase. These 
factors could lead to significant downward pressure on prices for our steel products or a reduction in sales, which could have a 
material adverse effect on our revenues and profitability. 

Our business is capital intensive, and if there are downturns in the industries that we serve, we may be forced to 
significantly curtail or suspend operations with respect to those industries, which could result in our recording asset 
impairment charges or taking other measures that may adversely affect our results of operations and profitability. 

Our  business  operations  are  capital  intensive,  and  we  devote  a  significant  amount  of  capital  to  certain  industries.  If  there  are 
downturns in the industries that we serve, we may be forced to significantly curtail or suspend our operations with respect to 
those industries, including laying-off employees, recording asset impairment charges and other measures, which may adversely 
affect our results of operations and profitability.

2013 Timken Annual ReportBUSINESS SUMMARYRISK FACTORS

Weakness in global economic conditions or in any of the industries or geographic regions in which we or our 
customers operate, as well as the cyclical nature of our customers’ businesses generally or sustained uncertainty 
in financial markets, could adversely impact our revenues and profitability by reducing demand and margins. 

Our  results  of  operations  may  be  materially  affected  by  the  conditions  in  the  global  economy  generally  and  in  global  capital 
markets. There has been extreme volatility in the capital markets and in the end markets and geographic regions in which we and 
our customers operate, which has negatively affected our revenues. Our revenues may also be negatively affected by changes in 
customer demand, additional changes in the product mix and negative pricing pressure in the industries in which we operate. 
Margins in those industries are highly sensitive to demand cycles, and our customers in those industries historically have tended 
to  delay  large  capital  projects,  including  expensive  maintenance  and  upgrades,  during  economic  downturns.  As  a  result,  our 
revenues and earnings are impacted by overall levels of industrial production. 

Our results of operations may be materially affected by the conditions in the global financial markets or in any 
of the geographic regions in which we operate. If an end user cannot obtain financing to purchase our products, 
either directly or indirectly contained in machinery or equipment, demand for our products will be reduced, which 
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and earnings. 

If a customer becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, our ability to recover accounts receivable from that customer would be 
adversely affected and any payment we received during the preference period prior to a bankruptcy filing may be potentially 
recoverable by the bankruptcy estate. Furthermore, if certain of our customers liquidate in bankruptcy, we may incur impairment 
charges relating to obsolete inventory and machinery and equipment. In addition, financial instability of certain companies in 
the supply chain could disrupt production in any particular industry. A disruption of production in any of the industries where we 
participate could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and earnings. 

Any change in the operation of our raw material surcharge mechanisms, a raw material market index or the 
availability or cost of raw materials and energy resources could materially affect our revenues and earnings. 

We require substantial amounts of raw materials, including scrap metal and alloys and natural gas to operate our business. Many 
of our customer contracts contain surcharge pricing provisions. The surcharges are generally tied to a widely-available market 
index for that specific raw material. Recently many of the widely-available raw material market indices have experienced wide 
fluctuations.  Any  change  in  a  raw  material  market  index  could  materially  affect  our  revenues.  Any  change  in  the  relationship 
between the market indices and our underlying costs could materially affect our earnings. Any change in our projected year-end 
input costs could materially affect our last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method and earnings. 

Moreover, future disruptions in the supply of our raw materials or energy resources could impair our ability to manufacture our 
products for our customers or require us to pay higher prices in order to obtain these raw materials or energy resources from other 
sources, and could thereby affect our sales and profitability. Any increase in the prices for such raw materials or energy resources 
could materially affect our costs and therefore our earnings.

Warranty, recall, quality or product liability claims could materially adversely affect our earnings. 

In our business, we are exposed to warranty and product liability claims. In addition, we may be required to participate in the recall 
of a product. If we fail to meet customer specifications for their products, we may be subject to product quality costs and claims. 
A successful warranty or product liability claim against us, or a requirement that we participate in a product recall, could have a 
material adverse effect on our earnings.

3/10/14   6:46 PM

2013 Timken Annual ReportWe may incur further impairment and restructuring charges that could materially affect our profitability. 

We have taken $246.1 million in impairment and restructuring charges during the last five years. Changes in business or economic 
conditions, or our business strategy, may result in additional restructuring programs and may require us to take additional charges 
in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings. 

Environmental laws and regulations impose substantial costs and limitations on our operations and 
environmental compliance may be more costly than we expect. 

We are subject to the risk of substantial environmental liability and limitations on our operations due to environmental laws and 
regulations. We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations 
concerning  matters  such  as  air  emissions,  wastewater  discharges,  solid  and  hazardous  waste  handling  and  disposal  and  the 
investigation  and  remediation  of  contamination. The  risks  of  substantial  costs  and  liabilities  related  to  compliance  with  these 
laws and regulations are an inherent part of our business, and future conditions may develop, arise or be discovered that create 
substantial environmental compliance or remediation liabilities and costs. 

Compliance with environmental, health and safety legislation and regulatory requirements may prove to be more limiting and 
costly than we anticipate. To date, we have committed significant expenditures in our efforts to achieve and maintain compliance 
with these requirements at our facilities, and we expect that we will continue to make significant expenditures related to such 
compliance in the future. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings brought by private parties or governmental 
authorities  with  respect  to  environmental  matters,  including  matters  involving  alleged  noncompliance  with  or  liability  under 
environmental,  health  and  safety  laws,  property  damage  or  personal  injury.  New  laws  and  regulations,  including  those  which 
may relate to emissions of greenhouse gases, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously 
unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up requirements could require us to incur costs or become the basis for 
new or increased liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Unexpected equipment failures or other disruptions of our operations may increase our costs and reduce our sales 
and earnings due to production curtailments or shutdowns. 

Interruptions in production capabilities, especially in our Steel segment, would likely increase our production costs and reduce 
sales and earnings for the affected period. In addition to equipment failures, our facilities and information technology systems are 
also subject to the risk of catastrophic loss due to unanticipated events such as fires, explosions or violent weather conditions. Our 
manufacturing processes are dependent upon critical pieces of equipment for which there may be only limited or no production 
alternatives, such as furnaces, continuous casters and rolling equipment, as well as electrical equipment, such as transformers, and 
this equipment may, on occasion, be out of service as a result of unanticipated failures. In the future, we may experience material 
plant shutdowns or periods of reduced production as a result of these types of equipment failures, which could cause us to lose 
or prevent us from taking advantage of various business opportunities or prevent us from responding to competitive pressures.

The Company may be subject to risks relating to its information technology systems.

The  Company  relies  on  information  technology  systems  to  process,  transmit  and  store  electronic  information  and  manage 
and operate its business. A breach in security could expose the Company and its customers and suppliers to risks of misuse of 
confidential information, manipulation and destruction of data, production downtimes and operations disruptions, which in turn 
could adversely affect the Company’s reputation, competitive position, business or results of operations.

3/10/14   6:46 PM

2013 Timken Annual ReportBUSINESS SUMMARYRISK FACTORS

The global nature of our business exposes us to foreign currency fluctuations that may affect our asset values, 
results of operations and competitiveness. 

We are exposed to the risks of currency exchange rate fluctuations because a significant portion of our net sales, costs, assets and 
liabilities, are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These risks include a reduction in our asset values, net sales, 
operating income and competitiveness. 

For those countries outside the United States where we have significant sales, devaluation in the local currency would reduce 
the value of our local inventory as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, a stronger U.S. dollar would 
result in reduced revenue, operating profit and shareholders’ equity due to the impact of foreign exchange translation on our 
Consolidated Financial Statements. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may make our products more expensive for 
others to purchase or increase our operating costs, affecting our competitiveness and our profitability. 

Changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies and volatile economic, political and market conditions in 
emerging market countries have in the past adversely affected our financial performance and may in the future adversely affect 
the value of our assets located outside the United States, our gross profit and our results of operations. 

Global political instability and other risks of international operations may adversely affect our operating costs, 
revenues and the price of our products. 

Our international operations expose us to risks not present in a purely domestic business, including primarily: 

•	 changes in tariff regulations, which may make our products more costly to export or import; 

•	 difficulties  establishing  and  maintaining  relationships  with  local  original  equipment  manufacturers  (OEMs),  distributors 

and dealers; 

•	

import and export licensing requirements; 

•	 compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations, including unexpected changes in taxation and environmental or 

other regulatory requirements, which could increase our operating and other expenses and limit our operations; 

•	 disadvantages of competing against companies from countries that are not subject to U.S. laws and regulations, including 

the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; 

•	 difficulty in staffing and managing geographically diverse operations; and 

•	 tax exposures related to cross-border intercompany transfer pricing and other tax risks unique to international operations. 

These and other risks may also increase the relative price of our products compared to those manufactured in other countries, 
reducing the demand for our products in the markets in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our 
revenues and earnings. 

The funded status of our defined benefit and other postretirement plans has caused and may in the future cause 
a significant reduction in our shareholders’ equity.

We recorded an increase in shareholders’ equity related to pension and postretirement benefit liabilities in 2013 primarily due to 
an increase in discount rates, as well as higher than expected returns on pension and postretirement assets. However, we recorded 
a decrease in shareholders’ equity related to pension and postretirement benefit liabilities in 2012, and in the future, we may be 
required to record charges related to pension and other postretirement liabilities as a result of asset returns, discount rate changes 
or other actuarial adjustments. These charges may be significant and would cause a reduction in our shareholders’ equity.

3/10/14   6:46 PM

2013 Timken Annual ReportThe funded status of our pension plans may require additional contributions, which may divert funds  
from other uses. 

The funded status of our pension plans may require us to make additional contributions to such plans. We made cash contributions 
of approximately $121 million, $326 million and $291 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to our defined benefit pension 
plans and currently expect to make cash contributions of approximately $20 million in 2014 to such plans. However, we cannot 
predict  whether  changing  economic  conditions,  the  future  performance  of  assets  in  the  plans  or  other  factors  will  lead  us  or 
require us to make contributions in excess of our current expectations, diverting funds we would otherwise apply to other uses. 

Our defined benefit plans’ assets and liabilities are substantial and expenses and contributions related to those 
plans are affected by factors outside our control, including the performance of plan assets, interest rates, actuarial 
data and experience, and changes in laws and regulations. 

Our defined benefit pension plans had assets with an estimated value of approximately $3.3 billion and liabilities with an estimated 
value of approximately $3.1 billion, both as of December 31, 2013. Our future expense and funding obligations for the defined 
benefit  pension  plans  depend  upon  a  number  of  factors,  including  the  level  of  benefits  provided  for  by  the  plans,  the  future 
performance of assets set aside in trusts for these plans, the level of interest rates used to determine the discount rate to calculate 
the amount of liabilities, actuarial data and experience and any changes in government laws and regulations. In addition, if the 
various investments held by our pension trusts do not perform as expected or the liabilities increase as a result of discount rates 
and other actuarial changes, our pension expense and required contributions would increase and, as a result, could materially 
adversely affect our business. Due to the value of our defined benefit plan assets and liabilities, even a minor decrease in interest 
rates, to the extent not offset by contributions or asset returns, could increase our obligations under such plans. We may be legally 
required to make contributions to the pension plans in the future in excess of our current expectations, and those contributions 
could be material. 

Work stoppages or similar difficulties could significantly disrupt our operations, reduce our revenues and materially 
affect our earnings. 

A work stoppage at one or more of our facilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and 
results of operations. Also, if one or more of our customers were to experience a work stoppage, that customer would likely halt 
or limit purchases of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results 
of operations. 

We are subject to a wide variety of domestic and foreign laws and regulations that could adversely affect our 
results of operations, cash flow or financial condition. 

We are subject to a wide variety of domestic and foreign laws and regulations, and legal compliance risks, including securities laws, 
tax laws, employment and pension-related laws, competition laws, U.S. and foreign export and trading laws, and laws governing 
improper business practices. We are affected by new laws and regulations, and changes to existing laws and regulations, including 
interpretations by courts and regulators. 

Compliance with the laws and regulations described above or with other applicable foreign, federal, state, and local laws and 
regulations currently in effect or that may be adopted in the future could materially adversely affect our competitive position, 
operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

2013 Timken Annual ReportBUSINESS SUMMARYRISK FACTORS

If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel our business could be materially adversely affected. 

Our business substantially depends on the continued service of key members of our management. The loss of the services of 
a significant number of members of our management could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our future success 
will also depend on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, such as engineering, finance, marketing and senior 
management professionals. Competition for these employees is intense, and we could experience difficulty from time to time in 
hiring and retaining the personnel necessary to support our business. If we do not succeed in retaining our current employees and 
attracting new high quality employees, our business could be materially adversely affected. 

We may not realize the improved operating results that we anticipate from past and future acquisitions and we 
may experience difficulties in integrating acquired businesses. 

We seek to grow, in part, through strategic acquisitions and joint ventures, which are intended to complement or expand our 
businesses, and expect to continue to do so in the future. These acquisitions involve challenges and risks. In the event that we do 
not successfully integrate these acquisitions into our existing operations so as to realize the expected return on our investment, 
our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition could be adversely affected. 

Our operating results depend in part on continued successful research, development and marketing of new and/or 
improved products and services, and there can be no assurance that we will continue to successfully introduce new 
products and services. 

The success of new and improved products and services depends on their initial and continued acceptance by our customers. 
Our businesses are affected, to varying degrees, by technological change and corresponding shifts in customer demand, which 
could result in unpredictable product transitions or shortened life cycles. We may experience difficulties or delays in the research, 
development, production, or marketing of new products and services which may prevent us from recouping or realizing a return 
on the investments required to bring new products and services to market. The end result could be a negative impact on our 
operating results.

2013 Timken Annual ReportRISKS RELATING TO OUR PROPOSED SPINOFF OF OUR STEEL BUSINESS:

The proposed spinoff of our steel business is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, may 
require significant time and attention of our management and may have an adverse effect on us even if not 
completed. 

On September 5, 2013, our board of directors approved a plan to pursue a separation of our steel business through a spinoff. 
The proposed spinoff is subject to various conditions and may be affected by unanticipated developments or changes in market 
conditions.  Completion  of  the  spinoff  will  be  contingent  upon  customary  closing  conditions,  including,  among  other  things, 
authorization  and  approval  of  our  board  of  directors,  receipt  of  governmental  and  regulatory  approvals  of  the  transactions 
contemplated by the spinoff, receipt of a legal opinion regarding the tax-free status of the spinoff, execution of intercompany 
agreements and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 with the SEC. For these and other reasons, the spinoff 
may not be completed as expected during 2014, if at all. 

Even if the spinoff is not completed, our ongoing businesses may be adversely affected and we may be subject to certain risks and 
consequences, including, among others, the following:

•	 execution  of  the  proposed  spinoff  will  require  significant  time  and  attention  from  management,  which  may  distract 
management from the operation of our businesses and the execution of other initiatives that may have been beneficial to us; 

•	 our employees may be distracted due to uncertainty about their future roles with each of the separate companies pending 

the completion of the spinoff; 

•	 we will be required to pay certain costs and expenses relating to the spinoff, such as legal, accounting and other professional 

fees, whether or not it is completed; and

•	 we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets if we fail to complete the spinoff. 

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the price 
of our common shares. 

We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the spinoff. 

Although  we  believe  that  separating  our  steel  business  from  our  bearings  and  power  transmission  business  by  means  of  the 
spinoff will provide financial, operational, managerial and other benefits to us and our shareholders, the spinoff may not provide 
such results on the scope or scale we anticipate, and we may not realize the assumed benefits of the spinoff. In addition, we will 
incur one-time costs in connection with the spinoff that may exceed our estimates or could negate some of the benefits we expect 
to realize as a result of the spinoff. If we do not realize the assumed benefits of the spinoff or if our costs exceed our estimates, then 
we could suffer a material adverse effect on our financial condition. 

If the proposed spinoff of our steel business is completed, the trading price of our common shares will decline. 

We expect the trading price of our common shares immediately following the spinoff to be significantly lower than immediately 
prior to the spinoff because the trading price for our common shares will no longer reflect the value of our steel business. 

Following the spinoff, the value of your common shares in: (a) the Company and (b) the steel business may 
collectively trade at an aggregate price less than what the Company’s common shares might trade at had the 
spinoff not occurred. 

The common shares of: (a) the Company and (b) the steel business that you may hold following the spinoff may collectively trade 
at a value less than the price at which the Company’s common shares might have traded at had the spinoff not occurred. These 
reasons include the future performance of either the Company or the steel business as separate, independent companies, and 
the future shareholder base and market for the Company’s common shares and the shares of the steel business and the prices at 
which these shares individually trade.

3/10/14   6:46 PM

2013 Timken Annual ReportBUSINESS SUMMARYRISK FACTORS

The spinoff could result in substantial tax liability.

The spinoff is conditioned on our receipt of an opinion of Covington & Burling LLP, special tax counsel to us (or other nationally 
recognized tax counsel), in form and substance satisfactory to us, that the distribution of shares of our steel business in the spinoff 
will qualify as tax-free to the steel business, us and our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 
368(a)(1)(D) and related provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and that certain internal 
restructuring transactions in connection with the spinoff similarly will be tax-free to the steel business, us and other members of 
our consolidated tax reporting group. The opinion will rely on, among other things, various assumptions and representations as 
to factual matters made by us and the steel business which, if inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, could jeopardize 
the conclusions reached by such counsel in its opinion. The opinion will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the 
IRS), or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or the courts will not challenge the qualification of the spinoff as a 
transaction under Sections 355 and 368(a) of the Code or that any such challenge would not prevail.

If, notwithstanding receipt of the opinion of counsel, the spinoff were determined not to qualify under Section 355 of the Code, 
each U.S. holder of our common shares who receives shares of the steel business in connection with the spinoff would generally 
be treated as receiving a taxable distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of the steel 
business that are received. That distribution would be taxable to each such shareholder as a dividend to the extent of our current 
and accumulated earnings and profits. For each such shareholder, any amount that exceeded our earnings and profits would be 
treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of such shareholder’s tax basis in his or her common shares of the 
Company with any remaining amount being taxed as a capital gain. We would be subject to tax as if we had sold common shares 
in a taxable sale for their fair market value and we would recognize taxable gain in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market 
value of such common shares over our tax basis in such common shares, which could have a material adverse impact on our 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Certain members of our board of directors and management may have actual or potential conflicts  
of interest because of their ownership of shares of the steel business or their relationships with the steel  
business following the spinoff.

Certain members of our board of directors and management are expected to own shares of the steel business and/or options to 
purchase shares of the steel business, which could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when our directors 
and executive officers are faced with decisions that could have different implications for us and the steel business. It is possible 
that some of our directors might also be directors of the steel business following the spinoff. This may create, or appear to create, 
potential conflicts of interest if these directors are faced with decisions that could have different implications for the steel business 
then the decisions have for us.

The  Company  reported  net  sales  for  2013  of  approximately  $4.3  billion,  compared  to  approximately  $5.0  billion  in  2012,  a 
12.9%  decrease. The  decrease  in  sales  was  primarily  due  to  lower  volume  across  all  business  segments  and  lower  surcharges, 
partially offset by the impact of acquisitions and favorable pricing. In 2013, net income per diluted share was $2.74, compared to 
$5.07 in 2012. The Company’s net income for 2013, compared to 2012, was lower due to the impact of lower volume, unfavorable 
sales mix, higher manufacturing costs and separation costs due to the planned spinoff of the steel business, partially offset by 
lower  raw  material  costs  (net  of  surcharges),  lower  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses,  favorable  pricing  and  lower 
restructuring charges. In addition, net income for 2013 was lower due to U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) 
receipts, net of expense, of  $108.0 million ($68.0 million after tax, or approximately $0.69 per diluted share)  received in 2012. 
The  higher  manufacturing  costs  were  the  result  of  lower  plant  utilization.  Restructuring  charges  related  to  the  closure  of  the 
manufacturing facility in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada (St. Thomas) were lower in 2013 compared to 2012. 

OUTLOOK:
The Company’s outlook reflects its current business structure with all four operating segments in place for the full twelve months 
of 2014. The Company expects sales to increase approximately 6% in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily driven by higher demand 
in the industrial, off-highway, energy, defense and rail end-market sectors. The Company’s earnings are expected to be higher in 
2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to higher demand and the impact from cost-reduction initiatives, with all four segments 
expected to achieve double-digit operating margins.

From a liquidity standpoint, the Company expects to generate cash from operations of approximately $560 million in 2014, an 
increase  of  $128  million  or  30%  over  2013,  as  the  Company  anticipates  higher  net  income  and  lower  pension  contributions. 
Pension contributions are expected to be approximately $20 million in 2014, compared to $120.7 million in 2013. The Company 
expects to decrease capital expenditures to approximately $310 million in 2014, compared to $325.8 million in 2013.

Net  sales  for  2013  decreased  $645.8  million,  or  12.9%,  compared  to  2012,  primarily  due  to  lower  volume  of  approximately 
$625 million across all segments. In addition, the decrease in sales reflects lower surcharges of approximately $115 million and the 
impact of foreign currency exchange of approximately $10 million, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions of approximately 
$85 million and favorable pricing of approximately $20 million.

Impairment and restructuring charges decreased $13.1 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Impairment and restructuring charges 
of $16.4 million in 2013 were primarily due to the recognition of severance and related benefits of approximately $10 million, 
including $7.1 million of pension settlement costs, related to the closure of the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas. In addition, 
impairment  and  restructuring  charges  for  2013  included  severance  and  related  benefit  costs  of  approximately  $6  million  due 
to cost-reduction initiatives relating to reductions in headcount in the bearings and power transmission business. Impairment 
and  restructuring  charges  of  $29.5  million  in  2012  were  primarily  due  to  the  recognition  of  severance  and  related  benefits, 
including approximately $10.7 million of pension curtailment charges, as well as impairment charges, related to the closure of 
the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas and the recognition of environmental remediation costs at the former manufacturing 
facility in Sao Paulo, Brazil (Sao Paulo). Refer to Note 10 – Impairment and Restructuring Charges in the Notes to the Consolidated

On September 5, 2013, the Company announced its intent to pursue a separation of the Company’s steel business through a 
tax-free  spinoff,  creating  a  new  independent  publicly  traded  steel  company, TimkenSteel  Corporation,  that  is  expected  to  be 
completed by mid-year 2014. 

In connection with the spinoff, the Company expects to incur one-time separation costs of approximately $105 million, of which 
approximately  $30  million  is  expected  to  be  capital.  Included  in  these  costs  is  approximately  $15  million  related  to  another 
specific cost-reduction initiative to generate an additional $20 million of annualized savings, which are intended to mitigate the 
incremental enterprise costs associated with operating two independent companies. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has 
incurred approximately $13 million of separation costs related to the planned spinoff of the steel business.

The  CDSOA  provides  for  distribution  of  monies  collected  by  U.S.  Customs  from  antidumping  cases  to  qualifying  domestic 
producers  where  the  domestic  producers  have  continued  to  invest  in  their  technology,  equipment  and  people.  In  2013,  the 
Company reported expenses in connection with CDSOA of $2.8 million. In 2012, the Company reported CDSOA receipts, net of 
expense, of $108 million. Refer to Note 20 – Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements for additional information.

In November 2013, the Company finalized the sale of its former manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo, resulting in a $5.4 million gain. 
The Company is recognizing the gain on the sale of this facility on the installment method. The Company expects to recognize an 
additional gain of approximately $25 million in 2014 related to this transaction.

The effective tax rate on pretax income for 2013 was unfavorable relative to the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to U.S. 
taxation of foreign income including U.S. taxation on cash repatriation, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit 
could be recorded, U.S. non-deductible items, including certain separation costs, and U.S. state and local taxes. These factors were 
partially offset by discrete U.S. tax benefits, including certain settlements related to tax audits, U.S. foreign tax credits, earnings in 
certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%, the U.S. manufacturing deduction and the U.S research 
tax credit. 

The effective tax rate for 2012 was unfavorable relative to the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to losses at certain foreign 
subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. state and local taxes and U.S. taxation of foreign income. These factors 
were partially offset by earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%, U.S. foreign tax credits, 
the U.S. manufacturing deduction and certain discrete U.S. tax benefits. 

The change in the effective tax rate in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to U.S. taxation of foreign income, including U.S. 
taxation on cash repatriation, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded and higher U.S. state and 
local taxes, partially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits, higher U.S. manufacturing deduction and the net effect of other discrete items.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
The  primary  measurement  used  by  management  to  measure  the  financial  performance  of  each  segment  is  earnings  before 
interest and taxes (EBIT). Refer to Note 15 – Segment Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the 
reconciliation of EBIT by segment to consolidated income before income taxes.

The presentation of segment results below includes a reconciliation of the changes in net sales for each segment reported in 
accordance  with  U.S.  GAAP  to  net  sales  adjusted  to  remove  the  effects  of  acquisitions  made  in  2013  and  2012  and  currency 
exchange  rates. The  effects  of  acquisitions  and  currency  exchange  rates  on  net  sales  are  removed  to  allow  investors  and  the 
Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage change in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period. During the 
fourth quarter of 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Wazee Companies, LLC (Wazee). 
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Interlube. Results for Interlube are reported in the 
Mobile Industries segment. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Standard Machine, as 
well as substantially all of the assets of Smith Services. Results for Standard Machine, Smith Services and Wazee are reported in the 
Process Industries segment.

The  Mobile  Industries  segment’s  net  sales,  excluding  the  impact  of  acquisitions  and  currency-rate  changes,  decreased  12.9% 
in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to lower volume of approximately $220 million, partially offset by favorable pricing of 
approximately $5 million. The lower volume was driven by a 20% decrease in off-highway, primarily in mining and agriculture 
sectors.  In  addition,  heavy  truck  declined  18%  and  light  vehicle  declined  14%  primarily  due  to  planned  program  exits.  EBIT 
decreased  in  2013  compared  to  2012,  primarily  due  to  the  impact  of  lower  volume  of  approximately  $80  million  and  higher 
manufacturing costs of approximately $20 million, partially offset by lower restructuring charges of approximately $15 million, 
lower material costs of approximately $15 million, lower selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $15 million, 
favorable pricing of approximately $5 million and a gain on the sale at the Company’s former manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo 
of approximately $5 million. Restructuring charges related to the closure of the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas were lower in 
2013 compared to 2012.

Sales for the Mobile Industries segment are expected to decrease by 3% to 8% in 2014 compared to 2013. The expected decrease 
is primarily due to a decrease in lower light-vehicle volume of approximately 30%, driven by planned program exits, partially offset 
by an increase in off-highway volume of approximately 5% and an increase in rail volume of approximately 5%. EBIT for the Mobile 
Industries segment is expected to remain approximately the same in 2014 compared to 2013 as a result of the recognition of an 
additional gain related to the Company’s former manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo offset by the impact of lower volume.

The Process Industries segment’s net sales, excluding the impact of acquisitions and currency-rate changes, decreased 12.5% for 
2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to decreases in volume of approximately $185 million, partially offset by favorable pricing of 
approximately $15 million. EBIT in 2013 decreased compared to 2012 primarily due to the impact of lower volume of approximately 
$90 million and higher manufacturing costs of approximately $15 million, partially offset by favorable pricing of approximately 
$15 million and lower selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $10 million.

Sales for the Process Industries segment are expected to increase 7% to 12% in 2014 compared to 2013 as a result of increased 
demand  across  most  industrial  end-market  sectors.  EBIT  for  the  Process  Industries  segment  is  expected  to  increase  in  2014 
compared to 2013 due to increased volume.

The Aerospace segment’s net sales, excluding the impact of currency-rate changes, decreased 5.2% for 2013 compared to 2012. 
The  decrease  was  due  to  lower  volume  of  approximately  $20  million,  partially  offset  by  favorable  pricing  of  approximately 
$2 million. The decrease in volume was driven by a decrease in the critical motion market sector of approximately 15% and the 
defense market sector of approximately 4%. EBIT decreased in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to higher manufacturing 
costs of approximately $15 million and the impact of lower volume of approximately $7 million, partially offset by lower selling, 
general and administrative expenses of approximately $5 million and favorable pricing of approximately $2 million.

Sales for the Aerospace segment are expected to increase by approximately 5% to 10% in 2014 compared to 2013, due to increased 
demand in both the defense and critical motion market sectors. EBIT for the Aerospace segment is expected to increase in 2014 
compared to 2013 as a result of higher volume and lower manufacturing expenses.

The Steel segment’s net sales for 2013, excluding the impact of currency-rate changes, decreased 20.2% compared to 2012. The 
decrease was primarily due to lower volume of approximately $230 million and lower surcharges of approximately $115 million. 
The lower volume was led by decreases in industrial demand of approximately 35% and oil and gas demand of approximately 
30%, partially offset by an increase in mobile demand of approximately 10%. 

Surcharges decreased to $300 million in 2013 from approximately $415 million in 2012. Approximately 60% of the decrease in 
surcharges was a result of lower volume. The remaining portion was a result of lower market prices for certain input raw materials, 
especially scrap steel, nickel and molybdenum. Surcharges are a pricing mechanism that the Company uses to recover scrap steel, 
energy and certain alloy costs, which are derived from published monthly indices.

The decrease in the average selling price was primarily the result of lower volume and surcharges. 

The Steel segment’s EBIT decreased $111.6 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to lower surcharges of approximately 
$115 million, the impact of lower volume of approximately $95 million, unfavorable mix of approximately $50 million and higher 
LIFO expense of approximately $17 million, partially offset by lower raw material costs of approximately $150 million and lower 
logistics and manufacturing costs of approximately $15 million. In 2013, the Steel segment recognized an increase in its LIFO 
reserve of $1.1 million, compared to a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $15.6 million in 2012. The change in LIFO was due to lower 
inventory levels and the mix of inventory. Raw material costs consumed in the manufacturing process, including scrap steel, alloys 
and energy, decreased 14% in 2013 compared to the prior year to an average cost of $463 per ton.

Sales for the Steel segment are expected to increase 12% to 17% in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to higher volume and 
higher surcharges. The Company expects higher volume to be driven by increases in oil and gas and industrial demand of over 
20% each, with mobile demand remaining relatively flat. EBIT for the Steel segment is expected to increase in 2014 compared to 
2013 driven by higher volume, higher surcharges and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher raw material costs and 
higher LIFO expense. Scrap, alloy and energy costs are expected to increase in the near term from current levels.

The Company reported net sales for 2012 of approximately $5.0 billion, compared to approximately $5.2 billion in 2011, a 3.5% 
decrease.  The  sales  decrease  reflects  lower  volume  across  all  business  segments  except  for  the  Aerospace  segment,  lower 
surcharges and the effect of currency rate changes, partially offset by favorable pricing and the impact of acquisitions. In 2012, 
net income per diluted share was $5.07, compared to $4.59 in 2011. The Company’s earnings for 2012 reflected CDSOA receipts, 
net of expense, of $108.0 million ($68.0 million after tax, or approximately $0.69 per diluted share), as well as favorable pricing, 
lower material costs and the impact of prior-year acquisitions, partially offset by lower material surcharges, the impact of lower 
volume, higher manufacturing costs and restructuring charges related to the announced closure of the manufacturing facility in 
St. Thomas. The higher manufacturing costs were the result of lower plant utilization.

Net  sales  for  2012  decreased  $183.2  million,  or  3.5%,  compared  to  2011,  primarily  due  to  lower  volume  of  approximately 
$300 million principally driven by the Steel segment and the Mobile Industries’ heavy truck and light-vehicle market sectors. In 
addition, the decrease in sales reflects lower surcharges of approximately $155 million and the effect of currency rate changes 
of  approximately  $75  million,  partially  offset  by  favorable  pricing  of  $190  million  and  the  impact  of  prior-year  acquisitions  of

of  $29.5  million  in  2012  were  primarily  due  to  the  recognition  of  severance  and  related  benefits,  including  $10.7  million  of 
pension curtailment charges, as well as impairment charges related to the announced closure of the manufacturing facility in 
St. Thomas and the recognition of environmental remediation costs at the former manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo. Impairment 
and  restructuring  charges  of  $14.4  million  in  2011  were  primarily  related  to  environmental  remediation  costs  and  workers 
compensation claims by former associates at the former manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo. Refer to Note 10 – Impairment and

The Company reported CDSOA receipts, net of expense, of $108.0 million in 2012. In 2012, the Company reported expenses in 
excess of CDSOA receipts of $1.1 million. Refer to Note 20 – Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in the Notes to 
the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other (expense), net increased in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to higher foreign currency exchange losses and higher 
losses from the disposal of fixed assets. Other (expense), net for 2012 also includes the loss on the divestiture of its interest in

The effective tax rate on pretax income for 2012 was unfavorable relative to the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to losses 
at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, including restructuring charges related to the closure of the 
Company’s manufacturing facility in St. Thomas, U.S. state and local taxes and U.S. taxation of foreign income. These factors were 
partially offset by earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%, U.S. foreign tax credits, the 
U.S. manufacturing deduction and certain discrete U.S. tax benefits.

The effective tax rate for 2011 was favorable relative to the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to earnings in certain foreign 
jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%, the U.S. manufacturing deduction, the U.S. research tax credit and the 
net effect of other U.S. tax items, partially offset by losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, 
U.S. state and local taxes and the net effect of other discrete items.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
The  primary  measurement  used  by  management  to  measure  the  financial  performance  of  each  segment  is  EBIT.  Refer  to 
Note 15 – Segment Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the reconciliation of EBIT by segment to 
consolidated income before income taxes.

The presentation of segment results below includes a reconciliation of the changes in net sales for each segment reported in 
accordance  with  U.S.  GAAP  to  net  sales  adjusted  to  remove  the  effects  of  acquisitions  made  in  2011  and  currency  exchange 
rates. The effects of acquisitions and currency exchange rates on net sales are removed to allow investors and the Company to 
meaningfully evaluate the percentage change in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period. During the third quarter 
of 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Philadelphia Gear, which is reported in the 
Process  Industries  segment.  During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of  Drives.  Results  for 
Drives are reported in the Mobile and Process Industries segments based on customer application. The acquisition of the assets of 
Wazee, which was completed on December 31, 2012, had no impact on the 2012 operating results.

$15 million and higher surcharges of $5 million. The lower volume was led by a decrease in light-vehicle volume of approximately 
20%, driven by exited business, and a decrease in heavy truck volume of approximately 20%, partially offset by an increase in 
rail volume of approximately 20%. EBIT decreased in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily due to the impact of lower volume of 
approximately $45 million, restructuring costs of approximately $30 million due to the closure of the St. Thomas plant and higher 
manufacturing and material costs of approximately $25 million, partially offset by favorable pricing of approximately $15 million, 
lower logistics costs of approximately $15 million and higher surcharges of approximately $5 million.

The Aerospace segment’s net sales, excluding the effect of currency-rate changes, increased 7.4% for 2012 compared to 2011. The 
increase was due to higher volume of approximately $20 million and favorable pricing of approximately $5 million. The increase in 
volume was driven by increased demand in the critical motion market sector of approximately 15% and the defense market sector 
of approximately 10%. EBIT increased in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily due to the impact of higher volume of approximately 
$10  million,  favorable  pricing  of  approximately  $5  million,  lower  manufacturing  costs  of  approximately  $5  million  and  lower 
selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  of  approximately  $5  million.  The  lower  manufacturing  costs  were  due  to  lower 
product warranty charges of approximately $4 million in 2012 compared to 2011, and an inventory write-down of approximately 
$3 million recognized in 2011.

(11.6 )%

The Steel segment’s net sales for 2012, excluding the impact of currency-rate changes, decreased 11.6% compared to 2011. The 
decrease was primarily due to lower volume of approximately $220 million and lower surcharges of approximately $165 million, 
partially offset by higher pricing and favorable sales mix of approximately $155 million. The lower volume was led by a decrease 
in industrial demand of approximately 25%, a decrease in oil and gas demand of approximately 15% and a decrease in mobile 
demand of approximately 5%.

Surcharges decreased to approximately $415 million in 2012 from approximately $580 million in 2011. Approximately 60% of the 
decrease in surcharges was a result of lower volumes. The remaining portion was a result of lower market prices for certain input 
raw materials, especially scrap steel, nickel and molybdenum.

$165 million, the impact of lower volume of approximately $100 million and higher manufacturing costs of approximately $55 million, 
partially offset by favorable pricing of approximately $140 million, lower raw material costs of approximately $140 million and lower 
LIFO expense of approximately $30 million. In 2012, the Steel segment recognized LIFO income of $15.6 million, compared to LIFO 
expense of $15.2 million in 2011. The change in LIFO was due to lower inventory levels and the mix of inventory. Raw material costs 
consumed in the manufacturing process, including scrap steel, alloys and energy, decreased 8% in 2012 compared to the prior year 
to an average cost of $510 per ton.

Corporate expenses increased in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily due to higher salaries and related benefits of $5 million and 
higher professional fees of $4 million, partially offset by lower expense related to incentive compensation plans of $4 million.

Refer  to  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Cash  Flows  for  a  discussion  of  the  decrease  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents.  Accounts 
receivable, net increased as a result of higher sales in December 2013 compared to December 2012, and a lower allowance for 
doubtful accounts of $1.9 million. Inventories decreased across all businesses to match current demand, partially offset by the 
impact of current year acquisitions. Deferred income taxes decreased while deferred charges and prepaid expenses increased 
due to a reclassification of income taxes related to intercompany transactions. Other current assets increased primarily due to the 
recognition of receivables related to the sale of real estate in Sao Paulo of approximately $14 million.

depreciation expense. See “Other Disclosures – Capital Expenditures” for more information.

The increase in goodwill was primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2013. The increase in non-current pension assets was 
primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  the  discount  rate  used  to  measure  the  projected  benefit  obligation  from  4%  to  5%,  as  well  as 
pension asset returns in excess of expectations, both of which are primarily related to U.S. pension plans. The decrease in other 
intangible assets was primarily due to current-year amortization expense exceeding intangibles acquired in 2013. The decrease 
in deferred income taxes was primarily due to the recognition of certain tax deductible items, primarily related to accelerated 
tax depreciation, which are recognized in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes, as well as the reduction of 
pension and postretirement liabilities. The increase in other non-current assets was primarily due to receivables of approximately 
$11 million extending beyond one year related to the sale of real estate in Sao Paulo.

The increase in short-term debt during 2013 was primarily to provide liquidity for non-U.S. inter-company dividends. Salaries, 
wages and benefits decreased primarily due to the reduction in accruals for incentive based compensation plans. The increase 
in  income  taxes  payable  was  primarily  due  to  the  provision  for  current-year  income  taxes  and  a  reclassification  of  uncertain 
tax  positions  from  other  non-current  liabilities  to  income  taxes  payable. These  increases  were  partially  offset  by  current-year 
tax payments. The increase in other current liabilities was primarily due to the recognition of a deferred gain of approximately 
$25 million related to the sale of real estate in Sao Paulo, partially offset by lower restructuring accruals. The increase in the current 
portion of long-term debt was primarily due to the reclassification of the Company’s $250 million fixed-rate senior unsecured 
notes, which mature in September 2014, from non-current liabilities to current liabilities.

The decrease in long-term debt was primarily due to the reclassification of the Company’s $250 million fixed-rate senior unsecured 
notes,  which  mature  in  September  2014,  to  current  liabilities. The  decrease  in  accrued  pension  cost  was  primarily  due  to  an 
increase in the discount rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation, as well as favorable returns on pension assets and 
$121 million in contributions, which changed the U.S. pension plans from underfunded to overfunded requiring a reclassification 
to non-current pension assets for 2013. The decrease in accrued postretirement benefits cost was primarily due to an increase in 
the discount rate used to measure the accumulated benefit obligation. The increase in deferred income taxes related primarily 
to  the  reduction  of  pension  and  postretirement  liabilities. The  decrease  in  other  non-current  liabilities  was  primarily  due  to  a 
reclassification of uncertain tax positions to current income taxes payable.

Earnings invested in the business increased in 2013 by net income attributable to the Company of $262.7 million, partially offset 
by dividends of $87.5 million. The decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily due to a $398.3 million 
after tax pension and postretirement liability adjustment, partially offset by $11.5 million from foreign currency translation. The 
pension and postretirement liability adjustment was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate used to measure pension 
and postretirement plan obligations, as well as higher than expected returns on plan assets and the realization of actuarial losses 
in 2013. The foreign currency translation adjustment was due to the U.S. dollar strengthening relative to other currencies, such as 
the Australian dollar, the Indian rupee, the South African rand, the Canadian dollar and the Brazilian real. The increase in treasury 
shares  was  primarily  due  to  the  Company’s  purchase  of  3.4  million  of  its  common  shares  for  an  aggregate  of  $189.2  million, 
partially offset by shares issued pursuant to stock compensation plans.

Operating activities provided net cash of $430.0 million in 2013, compared to $624.1 million in 2012. The change in cash from 
operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in net income, as well as the impact of incomes taxes and lower cash provided 
by working capital items. These decreases in cash were partially offset by lower pension contributions and other postretirement 
benefit payments. Net income attributable to The Timken Company decreased by $232.8 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Income 
taxes, including deferred income taxes, provided cash of $34.8 million in 2013, compared to $144.8 million in 2012. Pension and 
other postretirement benefit contributions and payments were $158.0 million in 2013, compared to $412.7 million in 2012.

Investing activities used cash of $376.0 million in 2013 compared to $297.7 million in 2012. The increase was primarily due to a 
$43.5 million increase in cash used for acquisitions and a $28.6 million increase in cash used for capital expenditures, as well as 
an $8.8 million reduction in cash provided by investments in short-term marketable securities. Short-term marketable securities 
provided cash of $5.5 million in 2013 after providing cash of $14.3 million in 2012.

Net cash used by financing activities was $249.3 million and $208.6 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in cash 
used  for  financing  activities  was  primarily  due  to  increased  purchases  of  common  shares  in  2013.  The  Company  purchased 
3.4 million of its common shares for an aggregate of $189.2 million in 2013 after purchasing 2.5 million of its common shares for 
an aggregate of $112.3 million in 2012. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $30 million on payments 
of long-term debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total debt was $475.9 million and $479.0 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Debt exceeded cash 
and cash equivalents by $76.2 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents exceeded debt by 
$122.5 million. The ratio of net debt (cash) to capital was 2.8% at December 31, 2013. The ratio of net debt (cash) to capital was

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

On  November  30,  2012,  the  Company  entered  into  a  three-year  Amended  and  Restated  Accounts  Receivable  Securitization 
Financing  Agreement  (Asset  Securitization  Agreement),  which  provides  for  borrowings  up  to  $200  million,  subject  to  certain 
borrowing base  limitations, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables of  the Company. At  December 31,  2013,  the 
Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Asset Securitization Agreement; however, certain borrowing base limitations 
reduced the availability under the Asset Securitization Agreement to $149.3 million.

The Company has a $500 million Senior Credit Facility that matures on May 11, 2016. At December 31, 2013, the Company had no 
outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility but had letters of credit outstanding totaling $8.6 million, which reduced 
the availability under the Senior Credit Facility to $491.4 million. Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has two financial 
covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At December 31, 2013, the Company was in 
full compliance with the covenants under the Senior Credit Facility. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under 
the Senior Credit Facility is 3.25 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio was 0.72 to 1.0. The 
minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 4.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2013, the 
Company’s consolidated interest coverage ratio was 18.86 to 1.0.

The interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility is based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the Company 
pays a facility fee based on the consolidated leverage ratio multiplied by the aggregate commitments of all of the lenders under 
the Senior Credit Facility.

Other sources of liquidity include short-term and long-term lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, which 
provide for borrowings up to $217.0 million in the aggregate. The majority of these lines are uncommitted. At December 31, 2013, 
the Company had borrowings outstanding of $19.8 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $197.2 million.

The Company expects that any cash requirements in excess of cash on hand will be met by the committed funds available under 
its  Asset  Securitization  Agreement  and  the  Senior  Credit  Facility.  Management  believes  it  has  sufficient  liquidity  to  meet  its 
obligations through at least the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

At December 31, 2013, approximately $274.1 million, or 71%, of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents resided in jurisdictions 
outside the United States. Repatriation of these funds to the United States could be subject to domestic and foreign taxes and 
an immaterial amount could be subject to governmental restrictions. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company implemented 
a strategy to repatriate approximately $365 million of cash, incurring tax expense of approximately $26 million. The Company 
repatriated $123 million of cash in January 2014, with the remaining portion expected to be repatriated in future periods. The 
Company had undistributed earnings related to its international subsidiaries of $577.9 million at December 31, 2013. A deferred 
tax liability of $8.7 million has been accrued at December 31, 2013 for earnings of $136.1 million (relating to the $365 million cash 
repatriation strategy) that are available to be repatriated to the U.S. No provisions for U.S. income taxes have been made with 
respect to earnings of $441.8 million that are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States. The amount of U.S. 
income taxes that may be applicable to such earnings is $23.3 million if such earnings were repatriated, net of foreign tax credits. 
Part of the Company’s strategy is to grow in attractive market sectors, many of which are outside the United States. This strategy 
may include making investments in facilities and equipment and potential new acquisitions. The Company plans to fund these 
investments, as well as meet working capital requirements, with cash and cash equivalents and unused lines of credit within the 
geographic location of these investments when possible.

The Company expects to remain in compliance with its debt covenants. However, the Company may need to limit its borrowings 
under the Senior Credit Facility or other facilities in order to remain in compliance. As of December 31, 2013, the Company could 
have borrowed the full amounts available under the Senior Credit Facility and Asset Securitization Agreement, and would have 
still been in compliance with its debt covenants.

The Company has $250 million of fixed-rate unsecured notes which mature in September 2014. The Company plans to refinance 
the unsecured notes in advance of their maturities.

The  Company  expects  cash  from  operations  in  2014  to  increase  to  approximately  $560  million  from  $430  million  in  2013,  as 
the  Company  anticipates  higher  net  income  and  lower  pension  contributions. The  Company  expects  to  make  approximately 
$20 million in pension contributions in 2014, compared to $120.7 million in 2013. The Company also expects to decrease capital 
expenditures to approximately $310 million in 2014 compared to $325.8 million in 2013.

The interest payments beyond five years primarily relate to medium-term notes that mature over the next 15 years.

Purchase commitments are defined as an agreement to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on the 
Company. Included in purchase commitments above are certain obligations related to take or pay contracts, capital commitments, 
service agreements and utilities. Many of these commitments relate to take or pay contracts, in which the Company guarantees 
payment  to  ensure  availability  of  products  or  services. These  purchase  commitments  do  not  represent  the  entire  anticipated 
purchases in the future, but represent only those items for which the Company is contractually obligated. The majority of the 
Company’s products and services are purchased as needed, with no commitment.

Retirement benefits represent pension and health care payments expected to be paid to retirees or their beneficiaries over the 
next ten years. These payments are largely covered by pension and postretirement benefit plan assets.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $49.5 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits. The Company 
anticipates a decrease in its unrecognized tax positions of $30 million to $35 million during the next 12 months. The anticipated 
decrease is primarily due to settlements with tax authorities. Future tax positions are not known at this time and therefore not 
included in the above summary of the Company’s fixed contractual obligations. Refer to Note 16 – Income Taxes in the Notes to 
the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

During 2013, the Company made cash contributions of approximately $120.7 million to its global defined benefit pension plans, 
of which $105.0 million was discretionary. The Company currently expects to make contributions to its global defined benefit 
pension plans totaling approximately $20 million in 2014, none of which is discretionary. The Company may consider making 
discretionary  contributions  to  either  its  global  defined  benefit  pension  plans  or  its  postretirement  benefit  plans  during  2014. 
Returns for the Company’s global defined benefit pension plan assets in 2013 were 10.8%, above the expected rate of return of 
8.0% due to broad increases in global equity markets. The higher returns positively impacted the funded status of the plans at the 
end of 2013 and are expected to result in lower pension expense in future years. Refer to Note 13 – Retirement Benefit Plans and 
Note 14 – Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

During 2013, the Company purchased 3.4 million of its common shares for approximately $189.2 million in the aggregate under 
the Company’s 2012 common share purchase plan. This plan authorizes the Company to buy, in the open market or in privately 
negotiated transactions, up to 10 million common shares, which are to be held as treasury shares and used for specified purposes. 
The authorization expires on December 31, 2015.

As disclosed in Note 9 – Contingencies and Note 16 – Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the 
Company has exposure for certain legal and tax matters.

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

2013 Timken Annual ReportMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 
 
 
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCMENTS:
Information required for this Item is incorporated by reference to Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES:
The  Company’s  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United 
States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 
reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and 
expenses during the periods presented. The following paragraphs include a discussion of some critical areas that require a higher 
degree of judgment, estimates and complexity.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenue when title passes to the customer. This occurs at the shipping point except for goods sold by 
certain foreign entities and certain exported goods, where title passes when the goods reach their destination. Selling prices are 
fixed based on purchase orders or contractual arrangements. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net 
sales and the related costs are included in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In July 2011, the Company acquired the assets of Philadelphia Gear. Philadelphia Gear recognizes a portion of its revenues on 
the percentage of completion method. In 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized approximately $45 million and $60 million, 
respectively, in net sales under the percentage of completion method.

INVENTORY:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with approximately 54% valued by the LIFO method and the remaining 
46% valued by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The majority of the Company’s domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO 
method, and all of the Company’s international inventories are valued by the FIFO method. An actual valuation of the inventory 
under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, 
interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these 
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 recognized a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $2.3 million during 2013 
compared to a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $7.1 million during 2012.

GOODWILL:
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its 
annual impairment test as of October first, after the annual forecasting process is completed. Furthermore, goodwill is reviewed for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Each interim 
period, management of the Company assesses whether or not an indicator of impairment is present that would necessitate that a 
goodwill impairment analysis be performed in an interim period other than during the fourth quarter.

The  goodwill  impairment  analysis  is  a  two-step  process.  Step  one  compares  the  carrying  amount  of  the  reporting  unit  to  its 
estimated  fair  value. To  the  extent  that  the  carrying  value  of  the  reporting  unit  exceeds  its  estimated  fair  values,  step  two  is 
performed, where the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent 
that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, impairment exists and must be recognized.

The  Company  reviews  goodwill  for  impairment  at  the  reporting  unit  level.  Prior  to  2012,  the  Company’s  reporting  units  were 
the  same  as  its  reportable  segments:  Mobile  Industries,  Process  Industries,  Aerospace  and  Steel.  During  2012,  management 
began reviewing goodwill for impairment at a level below the segment level for the Process Industries and Aerospace segments. 
This change was necessitated by a change in management structure, as well as the level of review of financial information by 
management within the Aerospace segment, and the acquisition of the assets of Philadelphia Gear. Philadelphia Gear is part of 
the Process Industries segment and provides aftermarket gear box repair services and gear-drive systems for the industrial, energy 
and military marine market sectors. In 2013, the acquisitions of Wazee, Smith Services and Standard Machine were grouped with 
Philadelphia  Gear  to  comprise  the  Process  Services  reporting  unit. The  Company  still  reviews  goodwill  for  impairment  at  the 
segment level for the Mobile Industries and Steel segments.

2013 Timken Annual ReportMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-8, “Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 
350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if goodwill might be 
impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Based on a review of various qualitative 
factors, management concluded that the goodwill for the Mobile Industries segment and Process Industries segment, excluding 
the Process Services reporting unit, was not impaired and that the two-step approach was not required to be performed for these 
reporting units. Based on a review of various qualitative factors, management concluded that the goodwill for the Steel segment, 
the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting units within the Aerospace segment, would be tested under the two-step 
approach. The Company prepares its goodwill impairment analysis by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit, 
using an income approach (a discounted cash flow model), as well as a market approach, with its carrying value.

The income approach requires several assumptions including future sales growth, EBIT margins and capital expenditures. The 
Company’s  reporting  units  each  provide  their  forecast  of  results  for  the  next  three  years. These  forecasts  are  the  basis  for  the 
information used in the discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model also requires the use of a discount rate and 
a terminal revenue growth rate (the revenue growth rate for the period beyond the three years forecasted by the reporting units), 
as well as projections of future operating margins (for the period beyond the forecasted three years). During the fourth quarter 
of 2013, the Company used a discount rate for its reporting units of 10% to 13% and a terminal revenue growth rate of 2% to 5%.

The  market  approach  requires  several  assumptions  including  EBITDA  (earnings  before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation  and 
amortization) multiples for comparable companies that operate in the same markets as the Company’s reporting units. During 
the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company used EBITDA multiples of 6.0 to 9.0 for its reporting units. 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $358.7 million of goodwill on its Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $162.4 million was 
attributable to the Aerospace segment and $161.4 million was attributable to the Process Industries segment. See Note 7 - Goodwill 
and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the carrying amount of goodwill by segment. 

The fair value of the Aerospace segment’s three reporting units was $203.6 million, $121.2 million and $272.0 million, respectively, 
compared to their carrying value of $154.4 million, $99.2 million and $187.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the Process 
Industries reporting unit was $301.2 million compared to its carrying value of $270.6 million. The fair value of the Steel segment 
exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. As a result, the Company did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges 
for the year ended December 31, 2013. 

A 210 basis point increase in the discount rate would have resulted in one of the Aerospace segment’s reporting units failing step 
one of the goodwill impairment analysis, which would have required the completion of step two of the goodwill impairment 
analysis to arrive at a potential goodwill impairment loss. A 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would have resulted in the 
Process Services reporting unit failing step one of the goodwill impairment analysis. The projected cash flows could have declined 
by as much as 23.6% for one of the Aerospace segment’s reporting units and the fair value would have still exceeded its carrying 
value. The projected cash flows could have declined by as much as 13% for the Process Services reporting unit and the fair value 
would have still exceeded its carrying value.

In 2013, the income approach for the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting units within the Aerospace segment was 
weighted by 70% and the market approach was weighted by 30% in arriving at fair value. The 70/30 weighting was selected to 
give consideration for the fact that the metrics for the last twelve months for the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting 
units within the Aerospace segment were not reflective of expected performance and the discounted-cash flow model provided 
a more normalized view of future operating conditions for the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting units within the 
Aerospace segment. Had the Company used a 50/50 weighting, the Company would still have passed step one of the goodwill 
impairment test for the Process Services reporting unit and the reporting units within the Aerospace segment for the year ended 
December 31, 2013.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS:
The Company’s policy is to recognize restructuring costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 420, 
“Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations,” and ASC Topic 712, “Compensation and Non-retirement Post-Employment Benefits.” Detailed 
contemporaneous documentation is maintained and updated to ensure that accruals are properly supported. If management 
determines that there is a change in estimate, the accruals are adjusted to reflect this change.

2013 Timken Annual ReportMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND  RESULTS OF OPERATIONSINCOME TAXES:
The Company, which is subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions, accounts for income taxes 
in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences 
attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax 
bases, as well as net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted 
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 
The Company records valuation allowances against deferred tax assets by tax jurisdiction when it is more likely than not that such 
assets will not be realized. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial performance of 
the entity recording the net deferred tax asset is considered along with any other pertinent information. Deferred tax assets relate 
primarily to pension and postretirement benefit obligations in the United States, which the Company believes are more likely than 
not to result in future tax benefits.

In  the  ordinary  course  of  the  Company’s  business,  there  are  many  transactions  and  calculations  where  the  ultimate  income 
tax  determination  is  uncertain. The  Company  is  regularly  under  audit  by  tax  authorities.  Accruals  for  uncertain  tax  positions 
are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 740. The Company records interest and penalties related to 
uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, 
valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, and accruals for uncertain tax positions.

BENEFIT PLANS:
The Company sponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans that cover eligible associates. The Company also sponsors 
several funded and unfunded postretirement plans that provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees and 
their dependents. These plans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 715-30, “Defined Benefit Plans – Pension,” and ASC 
Topic 715-60, “Defined Benefit Plans – Other Postretirement.”

The measurement of liabilities related to these plans is based on management’s assumptions related to future events, including 
discount  rates,  rates  of  return  on  pension  plan  assets,  rates  of  compensation  increases  and  health  care  cost  trend  rates. 
Management  regularly  evaluates  these  assumptions  and  adjusts  them  as  required  and  appropriate.  Other  plan  assumptions 
are also reviewed on a regular basis to reflect recent experience and the Company’s future expectations. Actual experience that 
differs from these assumptions may affect future liquidity, expense and the overall financial position of the Company. While the 
Company believes that current assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes 
in these assumptions may materially affect the Company’s pension and other postretirement employee benefit obligations and 
its future expense and cash flow.

The  discount  rate  is  used  to  calculate  the  present  value  of  expected  future  pension  and  postretirement  cash  flows  as  of  the 
measurement  date. The  Company  establishes  the  discount  rate  by  constructing  a  notional  portfolio  of  high-quality  corporate 
bonds and matching the coupon payments and bond maturities to projected benefit payments under the Company’s pension 
and postretirement welfare plans. The bonds included in the portfolio are generally non-callable. A lower discount rate will result 
in a higher benefit obligation; conversely, a higher discount rate will result in a lower benefit obligation. The discount rate is also 
used to calculate the annual interest cost, which is a component of net periodic benefit cost.

The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined by analyzing the historical long-term performance of the Company’s 
pension plan assets, as well as the mix of plan assets between equities, fixed income securities and other investments, the expected 
long-term rate of return expected for those asset classes and long-term inflation rates. Short-term asset performance can differ 
significantly from the expected rate of return, especially in volatile markets. A lower-than-expected rate of return on pension plan 
assets will increase pension expense and future contributions. 

DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS:
The  Company  recognized  net  periodic  benefit  cost  of  $69.7  million  in  2013  for  defined  benefit  pension  plans,  compared  to 
$68.9 million in 2012. The slight increase in expense was primarily due to higher amortization of net actuarial losses, partially 
offset by lower interest cost and higher expected return from plan assets. Amortization of net actuarial losses was $116.8 million 
in 2013, compared to $83.3 million in 2012. The higher amortization of net actuarial losses was primarily due to a 100 basis point 
reduction  in  the  discount  rate  used  to  measure  the  defined  benefit  pension  obligation  from  5.00%  at  December  31,  2011  to 
4.0% at December 31, 2012. In addition, the increase in 2013 amortization of actuarial losses was due to the migration of deferred 
asset losses from 2008 and 2011 into unrecognized losses subject to amortization. Net actuarial losses are amortized over the 
average remaining service period of participants in the defined benefit pension plans.

3/10/14   6:46 PM

2013 Timken Annual ReportMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Interest cost for 2013 was $134.7 million compared to $151.1 million for 2012. The higher expected return from plan assets for 2013 
of $232.0 million, compared to $221.1 million for 2012, was due to a higher fair value from pension assets at December 31, 2012, 
as a result of favorable asset returns, partially offset by the impact of a 25 basis point reduction in the expected return on pension 
plan assets.

The Company also incurred pension settlement costs of $7.2 million in 2013 primarily related to the closure of the manufacturing 
facility in St. Thomas. In 2012, the Company incurred pension curtailment costs of $11.6 million primarily related to the closure of 
the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas. See Note 10 – Impairment and Restructuring Charges for a discussion of the closure of 
St. Thomas. 

In 2014, the Company expects net periodic benefit cost to decrease to approximately $39 million for defined benefit pension plans. 
The expected decrease is primarily due to lower amortization of net actuarial losses, partially offset by a lower expected return 
from plan assets and higher interest cost. Amortization of net actuarial losses is expected to decrease approximately $46 million 
in 2014 compared to 2013. The majority of the decrease in the expected 2014 amortization of actuarial losses is attributable to 
a 102 basis point increase in the Company’s discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligation from 4.00% at 
December 31, 2012 to 5.02% at December 31, 2013. The weighted-average amortization period for the Company’s global defined 
pension plans is approximately 11 years. 

The lower expected return from plan assets for 2014 is primarily due to the impact of a 75 basis point reduction in the expected 
return on pension assets for 2014, partially offset by a higher fair value on pension assets at December 31, 2013. The decrease 
in the expected rate of return is due to the Company’s move to a higher level of debt securities offset by a lower level of equity 
securities to maintain its overfunded status on U.S. pension plans. The higher interest cost is primarily due to a 102 basis point 
increase in the Company’s discount rate used for expense purposes from 4.00% for 2013 to 5.02% for 2014. The Company expects 
to contribute approximately $20 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2014 compared to $120.7 million in 2013.

During the period between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2013, the Company recognized net actuarial losses totaling 
$893.1 million for defined benefit pension plans. These actuarial losses primarily occurred in 2008, 2011 and 2012, offset by gains 
in 2009, 2010 and 2013. In 2008, the net actuarial loss of $743.5 million for defined benefit pension plans was primarily due to the 
global financial crisis, which led to broad declines in pension investment returns (a net asset loss of $564.2 million on actual assets 
in 2008, or negative 22% on pension plan assets of $2.5 billion, compared to an expected return of $200.9 million, or 8.75%, in 
2008). The remaining portion of the net actuarial loss for 2008 was due to other changes in actuarial assumptions.

In 2011, the net actuarial loss of $404.6 million was primarily due to a 75 basis point reduction in the Company’s discount rate used 
to measure its defined benefit pension obligation. The change in the discount rate accounted for $234.1 million of the net actuarial 
loss. The remaining portion of the net actuarial loss for 2011 was due to lower than expected asset returns of $100.4 million and 
other changes in actuarial assumptions of $70.1 million. In 2012, the net actuarial loss of $263.1 million was primarily due to a 
100 basis point reduction in the Company’s discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligation. The change in 
the discount rate accounted for approximately $370 million of the net actuarial gain. Net actuarial losses as a result of the discount 
rate were partially offset by higher than expected asset returns of approximately $140 million (a net asset gain of $361.7 million on 
actual assets in 2012, or positive 13.8% on pension plan assets of $3.1 billion, compared to an expected return of $221.1 million, 
or 8.25%, in 2012). The remaining portion of the net actuarial loss for 2012 was due to other changes in actuarial assumptions.

In 2013, the net actuarial gain of $376.3 million was primarily due to a 102 basis point increase in the Company’s discount rate used 
to measure its defined benefit pension obligation. The change in the discount rate accounted for approximately $320 million of the 
net actuarial gain. In addition to the change in the discount rate, higher than expected asset returns of approximately $100 million 
(a net asset gain of $334.0 million on actual assets in 2013, or positive 10.8% on pension plan assets of $3.3 billion, compared 
to an expected return of $232.0 million, or 8.0%, in 2013). The remaining portion of the net actuarial gain for 2013 was due to 
other changes in actuarial assumptions. The impact of these net actuarial losses for defined benefit pension plans, as well as net 
actuarial losses related to postretirement benefit plans and net prior service costs for defined benefit pension and postretirement 
plans, has decreased total equity by $190.0 million after tax for the period between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2013.

During this same time period, the Company contributed a total of $1,052.3 million to its global defined benefit pension plans, of 
which approximately $955.7 million was discretionary. As discussed above, the Company expects to contribute approximately 
$20 million to its global defined benefit pension plans in 2014. Despite the net actuarial losses recorded for the period between 
December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2013, only approximately $20 million of contributions are required in 2014. The effect of 
actuarial losses on future earnings and operating cash flow, as well as the impact from the higher interest rate to measure the 
Company’s pension obligations is expected to be favorable in 2014, compared to 2013.

For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied a discount rate of 4.00% for the defined benefit pension plans. For expense 
purposes for 2014, the Company has applied a discount rate of 5.02% for the defined benefit pension plans. For expense purposes 
in 2013, the Company applied an expected rate of return of 8.00% for the Company’s pension plan assets. For expense purposes 
for 2014, the Company has applied an expected rate of return of 7.25% for the Company’s pension plan assets.

The following table presents the sensitivity of the Company’s U.S. projected pension benefit obligation (PBO), total equity and 
2014 expense to the indicated increase/decrease in key assumptions:

In the table above, a 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate will increase the PBO by $74.3 million and decrease total equity 
by $74.3 million. The change in equity in the table above is reflected on a pre-tax basis. Defined benefit pension plans in the 
United  States  represent  84%  of  the  Company’s  benefit  obligation  and  87%  of  the  fair  value  of  the  Company’s  plan  assets  at 
December 31, 2013. The Company uses a combined U.S. federal and state statutory rate of approximately 37% to calculate the 
after tax impact on equity for U.S. plans. The Company uses the local statutory tax rate in effect to calculate the after tax impact on 
equity for all remaining non-U.S. plans. For some non-U.S. plans, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the tax benefits 
recorded in equity and, therefore, no tax benefits are recognized on an after tax basis.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS:
The  Company  recognized  net  periodic  benefit  cost  of  $15.6  million  in  2013  for  postretirement  benefit  plans,  compared  to 
$22.6 million in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest cost. Interest cost was $21.7 million in 2013 for postretirement 
benefit plans, compared to $28.4 million in 2012, primarily due to a 105 basis point reduction in the Company’s discount rate for 
expense purposes from 4.85% for 2012 to 3.80% for 2013.

In  2014,  the  Company  expects  net  periodic  benefit  cost  to  increase  slightly  to  approximately  $17  million  for  postretirement 
benefit plans. The expected increase is primarily due to higher interest cost of approximately $2 million and higher amortization 
of prior service costs of $2 million, partially offset by lower amortization of actuarial losses of approximately $2 million. The higher 
expected interest cost for 2014 is primarily due to a 79 basis point increase in the Company’s discount rate for expense purposes 
from  3.80%  for  2013  to  4.59%  for  2014. The  majority  of  the  decrease  in  the  expected  2014  amortization  of  actuarial  losses  is 
attributable to a 79 basis point increase in the Company’s discount rate used to measure its postretirement obligation from 3.80% 
at December 31, 2012 to 4.59% at December 31, 2013.

For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied a discount rate of 3.80% for the postretirement welfare plans. For expense 
purposes for 2014, the Company has applied a discount rate of 4.59% for the postretirement welfare plans. For expense purposes 
in 2013 and 2014, the Company applied an expected rate of return of 5.0% to the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association 
(VEBA) trust assets. 

The following table presents the sensitivity of the Company’s accumulated other postretirement benefit obligation (ABO), total 
equity and 2014 expense to the indicated increase/decrease in key assumptions:

In the table above, a 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate will increase the ABO by $13.0 million and decrease equity by 
$13.0 million. The change in total equity in the table above is reflected on a pre-tax basis. 

For measurement purposes for postretirement benefits, the Company assumed a weighted-average annual rate of increase in 
per capita cost (health care cost trend rate) for medical and prescription drug benefits of 7.25% for 2014, declining steadily for 
the next nine years to 5.0%; and 9.25% for HMO benefits for 2014, declining gradually for the next 17 years to 5.0%. The assumed 
health care cost trend rate may have a significant effect on the amounts reported. A one percentage point increase in the assumed 
health care cost trend rate would have increased the 2013 total service and interest cost components by $0.5 million and would 
have increased the postretirement obligation by $10.4 million. A one percentage point decrease would provide corresponding 
reductions of $0.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

OTHER LOSS RESERVES:
The Company has a number of loss exposures that are incurred in the ordinary course of business such as environmental claims, 
product liability, product warranty, litigation and accounts receivable reserves. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires 
management’s estimate and judgment with regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability or realization. These loss reserves are 
reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances.

OTHER DISCLOSURES:

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES:
The  Company  has  been  making  strategic  investments  in  business  and  production  processes. The  Company  is  in  the  midst  of 
several multi-year projects in the Steel segment, including a new vertical continuous caster, an intermediate steel tube finishing 
line and an in-line forge press to produce new large-diameter sound-center bars. Additionally, the Company is constructing a 
new  building  to  bring  together  personnel  from  the  Company’s  Bearing  and  Power Transmission  headquarters  and  corporate 
headquarters with personnel from the Company’s technology center in North Canton, Ohio.

The caster, which will provide large bar capabilities unique in the United States, is expected to cost approximately $200 million. 
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had incurred costs of $140.5 million, including capitalized interest, related to this project. 
During 2013, the Company incurred approximately $110 million related to this project. The caster is expected to begin production 
in the second half of 2014. The steel tube finishing line project is expected to cost approximately $50 million. As of December 
31, 2013, the Company had incurred $47 million related to this project. The in-line forge press is expected to cost approximately 
$32 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had incurred virtually all of the costs related to this project. These investments 
reinforce the Company’s position of offering the broadest special bar quality steel capabilities in North America. 

The construction of the new building began in April 2012 to accommodate a combined team of approximately 1,200 employees, 
from  research  and  development,  engineering,  customer  service,  sales  and  marketing  and  corporate  functions. The  Company 
foresees increased collaboration among employees at the new North Canton campus, thereby increasing the speed of innovation 
and levels of customer service when the project is expected to be mostly completed in early 2014. The total cost of the project is 
expected to be approximately $65 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had incurred $50 million related to this project.

FOREIGN CURRENCY:
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses 
are  translated  at  the  average  rates  of  exchange  prevailing  during  the  reporting  period.  Related  translation  adjustments  are 
reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from 
transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The  Company  recognized  a  foreign  currency  exchange  loss  of  $9.2  million,  $6.9  million  and  $1.4  million  for  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  the  Company  recorded  a  negative 
non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $11.5 million that decreased shareholders’ equity, compared to a positive 
non-cash  foreign  currency  translation  adjustment  of  $10.5  million  that  increased  shareholders’  equity  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2012. The foreign currency translation adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2013 were negatively impacted 
by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies such as the Australian dollar, the Indian rupee, the South African 
rand, the Canadian dollar and the Brazilian real.

TRADE LAW ENFORCEMENT:
The U.S. government has an antidumping duty order in effect covering tapered roller bearings from China.  The Company is a 
producer of these bearings, as well as ball bearings and other bearing types, in the United States. In 2012, the U.S. government 
extended  this  order  for  an  additional  five  years.  Antidumping  duty  orders  covering  ball  bearings  from  Japan  and  the  United 
Kingdom were sunset by a court order in July 2011, retroactive to July 2005. That court decision, however, was appealed by the 
U.S. International Trade Commission and the Company, and was reversed by the federal Court of Appeals in May 2013, reinstating 
these ball bearing orders retroactive to July 2005. These ball bearing orders are now under periodic U.S. government review to 
determine whether either or both antidumping duty orders are still necessary, and these are expected to sunset.

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND:
On  February  14,  2014,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  declared  a  quarterly  cash  dividend  of  $0.25  per  common  share. 
The  quarterly  dividend  will  be  paid  on  March  7,  2014  to  shareholders  of  record  as  of  February  24,  2014.  This  will  be  the  
367th consecutive dividend paid on the common shares of the Company.

cost  of  funds  and/or  ability  to  raise  capital;  the  Company’s  pension  obligations  and  investment  performance;  and/or 
customer demand and the ability of customers to obtain financing to purchase the Company’s products or equipment that 
contain the Company’s products;

h) 

retention of CDSOA distributions;

i) 

the taxable nature of the previously announced plan to pursue a spinoff of the Company’s steel business and the Company’s

Additional risks relating to the Company’s business, the industries in which the Company operates or the Company’s common 
shares may be described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All of these 
risk  factors  are  difficult  to  predict,  are  subject  to  material  uncertainties  that  may  affect  actual  results  and  may  be  beyond  the 
Company’s control.

Readers are cautioned that it is not possible to predict or identify all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect 
future results and that the above list should not be considered to be a complete list. Except as required by the federal securities 
laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of 
new information, future events or otherwise.

2013 Timken Annual ReportMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND  RESULTS OF OPERATIONSITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK:
Changes in short-term interest rates related to several separate funding sources impact the Company’s earnings. These sources 
are borrowings under the Asset Securitization Agreement, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, floating rate tax-exempt 
U.S. municipal bonds with a weekly reset and short-term bank borrowings by its international subsidiaries. If the market rates for 
short-term borrowings increased by one-percentage-point around the globe, the impact would be an increase in interest expense 
of $0.3 million annually, with a corresponding decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes of the same 
amount. This amount was determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on the Company’s borrowing cost, 
year-end debt balances by category and an estimated impact on the tax-exempt municipal bonds’ interest rates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK:
Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies, including the Euro, also impact the Company’s earnings. 
The greatest risk relates to products shipped between the Company’s European operations and the United States. Foreign currency 
forward contracts are used to hedge a portion of these intercompany transactions. Additionally, hedges are used to cover third-
party purchases of product and equipment. As of December 31, 2013, there were $516.7 million of hedges in place. A uniform 10% 
weakening of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would have resulted in a charge of $49.0 million related to these hedges, which 
would have partially offset the otherwise favorable impact of the underlying currency fluctuation. In addition to the direct impact 
of the hedged amounts, changes in exchange rates also affect the volume of sales or foreign currency sales price as competitors’ 
products become more or less attractive.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations, primarily 
related  to  our  purchases  of  raw  materials  and  energy,  principally  scrap  steel,  other  ferrous  and  non-ferrous  metals,  alloys  and 
natural gas. Whenever possible, the Company manages its exposure to commodity risks primarily through the use of supplier 
pricing agreements that enable the Company to establish the purchase prices for certain inputs that are used in our manufacturing 
and  distribution  business. Timken  utilizes  a  raw  material  surcharge  as  a  component  of  pricing  steel  to  pass  through  the  cost 
increases  of  scrap  steel  and  other  raw  materials,  as  well  as  natural  gas.  From  time  to  time,  the  Company  also  uses  derivative 
financial instruments to hedge a portion of its exposure to price risk related to natural gas purchases.

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

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  and  operations  of  the  Company  in  which  a  controlling  interest  is 
maintained. Investments in affiliated companies that the Company does not control, and the activities of which it is not the primary 
beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated 
upon consolidation. 

REVENUE RECOGNITION: 
The Company recognizes revenue when title passes to the customer. This occurs at the shipping point except for goods sold by 
certain foreign entities and certain exported goods, where title passes when the goods reach their destination. Selling prices are 
fixed based on purchase orders or contractual arrangements. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net 
sales and the related costs are included in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company acquired the assets of Philadelphia Gear in July 2011. Philadelphia Gear recognizes a portion of its revenues on the 
percentage of completion method measured on the cost-to-cost basis. In 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized approximately 
$45 million and $60 million, respectively, in net sales under the percentage of completion method.

CASH EQUIVALENTS:
The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  with  a  maturity  of  three  months  or  less  when  purchased  to  be  cash 
equivalents.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS:
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents an estimate of the losses expected from the accounts 
receivable portfolio, to reduce accounts receivable to their net realizable value. The allowance was based upon historical trends 
in collections and write-offs, management’s judgment of the probability of collecting accounts and management’s evaluation of 
business risk. The Company extends credit to customers satisfying pre-defined credit criteria. The Company believes it has limited 
concentration of credit risk due to the diversity of its customer base.

INVENTORIES: 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The majority of domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO method and the 
balance of the Company’s inventories is valued by the FIFO method.

INVESTMENTS: 
Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year and are valued at amortized cost, 
which approximates fair value. The Company held short-term investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 with a fair value 
and cost basis of $13.9 million and $17.3 million, respectively, which were included in other current assets on the Consolidated 
Balance Sheets.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: 
Property,  plant  and  equipment,  net  is  valued  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation.  Maintenance  and  repairs  are  charged  to 
expense as incurred. The provision for depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method based upon the estimated 
useful lives of the assets. The useful lives are approximately 30 years for buildings, three to ten years for computer software and 
three to 20 years for machinery and equipment.

The impairment of long-lived assets is evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 
of the asset or related group of assets may not be recoverable. If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the 
carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized at that time to reduce the asset to the lower of its fair value or its 
net book value.

3/10/14   6:46 PM

2013 Timken Annual ReportNote 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: 
Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful lives, with 
useful lives ranging from one to 20 years. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for 
impairment at least annually. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of October first, after the annual forecasting 
process is completed. Furthermore, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable in accordance with accounting rules related 
to goodwill and other intangible assets. 

Effective October 1, 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08, “Intangibles–
Goodwill  and  Other  (Topic  350):  Testing  Goodwill  for  Impairment,”  which  allows  companies  to  assess  qualitative  factors  to 
determine if goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Effective 
October  1,  2012,  the  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of  ASU  2012-02, “Intangibles–Goodwill  and  Other  (Topic  350): Testing 
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if indefinite-
lived intangibles might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES: 
The  Company  provides  limited  warranties  on  certain  of  its  products.  The  Company  accrues  liabilities  for  warranties  based 
upon  specific  claims  and  a  review  of  historical  warranty  claim  experience  in  accordance  with  accounting  rules  relating  to 
contingent liabilities. The Company records and accounts for its warranty reserve based on specific claim incidents. Should the 
Company become aware of a specific potential warranty claim for which liability is probable and reasonably estimable, a specific 
charge is recorded and accounted for accordingly. Adjustments are made quarterly to the accruals as claim data and historical 
experience change.

INCOME TAXES: 
The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes  in  accordance  with  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (ASC)  740, “Income  Taxes.” 
Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recorded  for  the  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  financial 
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as net operating loss and 
tax credit carryforwards. The Company recognizes valuation allowances against deferred tax assets by tax jurisdiction when it 
is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance 
with ASC 740-10. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income 
tax expense.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, other than those located in highly inflationary countries, 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 
year.  The  related  translation  adjustments  are  reflected  as  a  separate  component  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss. 
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions and the translation of financial statements of subsidiaries in highly 
inflationary countries are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company realized foreign currency exchange 
losses of $9.2 million, $6.9 million and $1.4 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS:
The Company recognizes an overfunded status or underfunded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets 
and the benefit obligations) as either an asset or a liability for its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans on 
the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. The 
adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss represents the current year net unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and 
unrecognized prior service costs. These amounts will be recognized in future periods as net periodic benefit cost.

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: 
The  Company  recognizes  stock-based  compensation  expense  based  on  the  grant  date  fair  value  of  the  stock-based  awards 
over their required vesting period. Stock options are issued with an exercise price equal to the opening market price of Timken 
common shares on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, 
which  incorporates  assumptions  regarding  the  expected  volatility,  the  expected  option  life,  the  risk-free  interest  rate  and  the 
expected dividend yield. The fair value of stock-based awards that will settle in Timken common shares, other than stock options, 
is based on the opening market price of Timken common shares on the grant date. The fair value of stock-based awards that will 
settle in cash are remeasured at each reporting period until settlement of the awards.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: 
Unvested  restricted  shares  provide  for  the  payment  of  nonforfeitable  dividends.  The  Company  considers  these  awards  as 
participating securities. Earnings per share are computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings per share are computed 
by dividing net income less undistributed earnings allocated to unvested restricted shares by the weighted-average number of 
common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income less undistributed 
earnings allocated to unvested restricted shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for 
the dilutive impact of outstanding stock-based awards.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS: 
The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as 
hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. If the derivative is designated and qualifies as a hedge, depending on the 
nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, 
liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive loss until the hedged item is recognized 
in earnings. The Company’s holdings of forward foreign currency exchange contracts qualify as derivatives pursuant to the criteria 
established in derivative accounting guidance, and the Company has designated certain of those derivatives as hedges.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In  February  2013,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued  ASU  No.  2013-02,  Comprehensive  Income  (Topic 
220): “Reporting  of  Amounts  Reclassified  Out  of  Accumulated  Other  Comprehensive  Income,”  effective  for  annual  and  interim 
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The new accounting rules require all U.S. public companies to report the 
effect of items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items of net income, net of tax, 
either on the face of the financial statements where net income is presented or in a tabular format in the notes to the financial 
statements. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02. The new accounting rules expand the disclosure 
of other comprehensive income and had no impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. See Note 4 – 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for additional information on the new disclosure. 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net 
Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates 
diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, 
or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The new accounting rules are effective for annual and interim reporting 
periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2013-11, if any, on 
the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

USE OF ESTIMATES: 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These 
estimates and assumptions are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect recent experience.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: 
Certain amounts reported in the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to correct an immaterial error. 
The  Company  reclassified  $15.1  million  from  other  current  assets  to  restricted  cash.  In  addition,  the  Company  reclassified 
approximately $12 million from current deferred tax assets to non-current deferred tax assets.

Inventories valued on the LIFO cost method were 54% and the remaining 46% were valued by the FIFO method. If all inventories 
had been valued at FIFO, inventories would have been $278.3 million and $280.6 million greater at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. The Company recognized a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $2.3 million during 2013 compared to a decrease in its LIFO 
reserve of $7.1 million during 2012. The decrease in the LIFO reserve recognized during 2013 was due to lower costs and quantities 
of inventory on hand, as well as the mix of inventory.

capitalized software. Depreciation expense for capitalized software was $25.1 million, $23.5 million and $21.7 million in 2013, 
2012 and 2011, respectively.

In November 2013, the Company finalized the sale of its former manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo. The Company expects to 
receive approximately $34 million over a twenty-four month period, of which $5.9 million was received as of December 31, 2013. 
The total costs of this transaction, including the net book value of the real estate and broker’s commissions, were approximately 
$3 million. The Company is recognizing the gain on the sale of this facility using the installment method. In the fourth quarter of 
2013, the Company recognized a gain of $5.4 million and expects to recognize an additional gain of approximately $25 million in 
2014 related to this transaction.

NOTE 7 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

GOODWILL:
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its 
annual impairment test as of October first after the annual forecasting process is completed. Furthermore, goodwill and indefinite-
lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value 
may not be recoverable. 

The  Company  reviews  goodwill  for  impairment  at  the  reporting  unit  level.  Prior  to  2012,  the  Company’s  reporting  units  were 
the  same  as  its  reportable  segments:  Mobile  Industries,  Process  Industries,  Aerospace  and  Steel.  During  2012,  management 
began reviewing goodwill for impairment at a level below the segment level for the Process Industries and Aerospace segments. 
This change was necessitated by a change in management structure, as well as the level of review of financial information by 
management within the Aerospace segment, and the acquisition of the assets of Philadelphia Gear. Philadelphia Gear is part of 
the Process Industries segment and provides aftermarket gear box repair services and gear-drive systems for the industrial, energy 
and military marine market sectors. In 2013, the acquisitions of Wazee, Smith Services and Standard Machine were grouped with 
Philadelphia  Gear  to  comprise  the  Process  Services  reporting  unit. The  Company  still  reviews  goodwill  for  impairment  at  the 
segment level for the Mobile Industries and Steel segments. 

During  2011,  the  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of  ASU  No.  2011-8, “Intangibles–Goodwill  and  Other  (Topic  350):  Testing 
Goodwill  for  Impairment,”  which  allows  companies  to  assess  qualitative  factors  to  determine  if  goodwill  might  be  impaired 
and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Based on a review of various qualitative factors, 
management  concluded  that  the  goodwill  for  the  Mobile  Industries  segment  and  Process  Industries  segment,  excluding  the 
Process Services reporting unit, was not impaired and that the two-step approach was not required to be performed for these 
reporting units. Based on a review of various qualitative factors, management concluded that the goodwill for the Steel segment, 
the  Process  Services  reporting  unit  and  the  three  reporting  units  within  the  Aerospace  segment,  would  be  tested  under  the 
two-step  approach.  The  Company  prepares  its  goodwill  impairment  analysis  by  comparing  the  estimated  fair  value  of  each 
reporting unit, using an income approach (a discounted cash flow model), as well as a market approach, with its carrying value.

In 2013, 2012 and 2011, no goodwill impairment loss was recorded.

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill were as follows:

NOTE 8 – FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS 

Short-term debt for the years ended December 31 was as follows:

Variable-rate lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries with  
 various banks with interest rates ranging from 0.87% to 4.86% and 0.61% to  
2.28% at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively

$    14.3 

$    14.3 

The lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries provide for borrowings up to $217.0 million. Most of these lines 
of credit are uncommitted. At December 31, 2013, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had borrowings outstanding of $18.6 million 
and guarantees of $1.2 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $197.2 million.

The  weighted-average  interest  rate  on  short-term  debt  during  the  year  was  3.2%,  3.2%  and  4.1%  in  2013,  2012  and  2011, 
respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on short-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 4.6% and 
1.5%, respectively.

On  November  30,  2012,  the  Company  entered  into  a  $200  million  Asset  Securitization  Agreement,  which  matures  on 
November  30,  2015.  Under  the  terms  of  the  Asset  Securitization  Agreement,  the  Company  sells,  on  an  ongoing  basis,  certain 
domestic  trade  receivables  to Timken  Receivables  Corporation,  a  wholly-owned  consolidated  subsidiary  that  in  turn  uses  the 
trade  receivables  to  secure  borrowings  which  are  funded  through  a  vehicle  that  issues  commercial  paper  in  the  short-term 
market. Borrowings under the Asset Securitization Agreement are limited to certain borrowing base calculations. Any amounts 
outstanding under this Asset Securitization Agreement would be reported in short-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated 
Balance  Sheets.  As  of  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  there  were  no  outstanding  borrowings  under  the  Asset  Securitization 
Agreement. However, certain borrowing base limitations reduced the availability of the Asset Securitization Agreement to $149.3 
million  at  December  31,  2013. The  cost  of  this  facility,  which  is  the  commercial  paper  rate  plus  program  fees,  is  considered  a 
financing cost and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The yield rate was 0.96%, 1.06% and 
1.25%, at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Long-term debt for the years ended December 31 was as follows:

Fixed-rate Medium-Term Notes, Series A, mature at various dates through  
  May 2028, with interest rates ranging from 6.74% to 7.76% 
Fixed-rate Senior Unsecured Notes, maturing on September 15, 2014, with  
  an interest rate of 6.0% 
Variable-rate State of Ohio Water Development Revenue Refunding Bonds,  
  maturing on November 1, 2025 (0.06% at December 31, 2013) 
Variable-rate State of Ohio Air Quality Development Revenue Refunding  
  Bonds, maturing on November 1, 2025 (0.15% at December 31, 2013)

The Company has a $500 million Senior Credit Facility, which matures on May 11, 2016. At December 31, 2013, the Company had 
no  outstanding  borrowings  under  the  Senior  Credit  Facility,  but  had  letters  of  credit  outstanding  totaling  $8.6  million,  which 
reduced the availability under the Senior Credit Facility to $491.4 million. Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has two 
financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At December 31, 2013, the Company 
was in full compliance with the covenants under the Senior Credit Facility.

In 2011, the Company was notified that its variable-rate State of Ohio Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (the Bonds), 
maturing on June 1, 2033, had lost their tax-exempt status and would now be taxable to its bondholders. As part of the settlement 
with the IRS, the Company redeemed half of the balance during the third quarter of 2012 and agreed to redeem the remaining 
balance of $8.5 million on December 31, 2022. In addition, the IRS agreed to allow the Bonds to remain tax-exempt during the 
period they are outstanding.

The  maturities  of  long-term  debt  for  the  five  years  subsequent  to  December  31,  2013  are  as  follows:  2014  –  $250.7  million;  
2015 – $0.7 million; 2016 – $15.7 million; 2017 – $5.0 million; and 2018 – zero.

Interest paid was $31.0 million in 2013, $32.4 million in 2012 and $34.8 million in 2011. This differs from interest expense due to the 
timing of payments and interest capitalized of $12.7 million in 2013, $4.9 million in 2012 and $1.2 million in 2011.

The Company and its subsidiaries lease a variety of real property and equipment. Rent expense under operating leases amounted 
to $44.4 million, $43.6 million and $44.5 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2013, future minimum 
lease  payments  for  noncancelable  operating  leases  totaled  $125.7  million  and  are  payable  as  follows:  2014  –  $37.9  million;  
2015 – $30.7 million; 2016 – $21.8 million; 2017 – $13.8 million; 2018 – $8.9 million and $12.6 million thereafter.

NOTE 9 – CONTINGENCIES 

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 (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. 

The Company had an accrual of $2.6 million and $7.5 million for environmental matters that are probable and reasonably estimable 
as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This accrual is 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. Of the 
2013 accrual, $1.2 million is included in the rollforward of the restructuring accrual as of December 31, 2013, discussed further in 
Note 10 – Impairment and Restructuring Charges.

In addition, the Company is subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. 
The  Company  accrues  costs  associated  with  legal  and  non-income  tax  matters  when  they  become  probable  and  reasonably 
estimable. Accruals are established based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows to settle the obligations and are not reduced 
by any potential recoveries from insurance or other indemnification claims. Management believes that any ultimate liability with 
respect to these actions, in excess of amounts provided, will not materially affect the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES:
In addition to the contingencies above, the Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products. The following is a

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

MOBILE INDUSTRIES:
In May 2012, the Company announced the closure of its manufacturing facility in St. Thomas, which was expected to be completed 
in approximately one year, and was intended to consolidate bearing production from this plant with existing U.S. operations to 
better align the Company’s manufacturing footprint and customer base. In connection with this closure, the Company also moved 
customer service for the Canadian market to its offices in Toronto. The Company completed the closure of this manufacturing 
facility on March 31, 2013. The closure of the St. Thomas manufacturing facility displaced 190 employees. The Company expects to 
incur pretax costs of approximately $55 million to $65 million in connection with this closure, of which approximately $20 million 
to $25 million is expected to be pretax cash costs.

The Company has incurred pretax costs related to this closure of approximately $41.6 million as of December 31, 2013, including 
rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold. During 2013, the Company recorded $8.2 million of severance and related 
benefits,  including  pension  settlement  charges  of  $7.1  million,  related  to  this  closure.  During  2012,  the  Company  recorded 
$16.9  million  of  severance  and  related  benefits,  including  a  curtailment  of  pension  benefits  of  $10.7  million  and  impairment 
charges of $6.5 million, related to this closure.

In March 2007, the Company announced the closure of its manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo. The Company completed the closure 
of this manufacturing facility on March 31, 2010. Mobile Industries has incurred cumulative pretax expenses of approximately 
$54.9  million  as  of  December  31,  2013  related  to  this  closure.  In  2013,  2012  and  2011,  the  Company  recorded  a  favorable 
adjustment of $2.0 million, and exit costs of $6.8 million and $12.5 million, respectively, associated with the closure of this facility. 
The favorable adjustment for 2013 and exit costs for 2012 primarily related to environmental remediation costs. Exit costs in 2011 
also included workers’ compensation claims for former employees. The Company accrues environmental remediation costs and 
workers’ compensation claims when they are probable and reasonably estimable.

In addition to the above charges, the Company recorded a favorable adjustment of $2.7 million during 2012 for environmental 
exit costs at the site of its former plant in Columbus, Ohio. The favorable adjustment was a result of the sale of the real estate at the 
site of this former plant during the first quarter of 2012. The buyer assumed responsibility for the environmental remediation as a 
result of the sale. The buyer was able to obtain funding from the State of Ohio to remediate the site.  

WORKFORCE REDUCTIONS:
In 2013, the Company began the realignment of its organization to improve efficiency and reduce costs. During 2013, the Company 
recognized $5.9 million of severance and related benefit costs to eliminate approximately 180 positions. Of the $5.9 million charge 
for 2013, $1.2 million related to the Aerospace segment, $2.5 million related to the Process Industries segment and $2.2 million 
related to the Mobile Industries segment.

The restructuring accrual at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance 
Sheets. The  restructuring  accrual  at  December  31,  2012  excluded  costs  related  to  the  curtailment  of  pension  benefit  plans  of 
$10.7  million.  At  December  31,  2013,  the  restructuring  accrual  included  $1.2  million  of  environmental  remediation  costs. The 
Company adjusts environmental remediation accruals based on the best available estimate of costs to be incurred, 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.

On September 5, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a plan to pursue a separation of its steel 
business from the rest of the Company through a spinoff, creating a new independent, publicly traded steel company, TimkenSteel 
Corporation. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to shareholders and should be completed in mid-year 2014, subject to 
customary regulatory approvals, the receipt of a legal opinion regarding the tax-free nature of the transaction, the execution of 
intercompany agreements between the Company and the new steel company, final approval of the Company’s Board of Directors 
and other customary matters. One-time transaction costs in connection with the separation of the two companies are expected to 
be approximately $105 million. The majority of these costs include consulting and professional fees associated with preparing for 
the spinoff. In addition, these costs include a cost reduction initiative to eliminate corporate positions to mitigate the incremental 
enterprise  costs  with  operating  two  separate  companies. The  expected  cost  of  this  cost  reduction  initiative  is  expected  to  be 
approximately $15 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $5.6 million of severance and related benefit costs related to the cost reduction 
initiative. The Company also recorded $7.3 million of professional fees related to the planned spinoff of the steel business.

The  separation  accrual  at  December  31,  2013  was  included  in  other  current  liabilities  on  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.  At 
December 31, 2013, accrued separation costs included $3.8 million related to severance and related benefit costs and $1.9 million 
related to professional fees. The professional fees are recorded when incurred.

NOTE 12 – STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS 

Under the Company’s long-term incentive plan, the Company’s common shares have been made available to grant, at the discretion 
of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, to officers and key employees in the form of stock option awards. Stock 
option awards typically have a ten-year term and generally vest in 25% increments annually beginning on the first anniversary of 
the date of grant. In addition to stock option awards, the Company has granted restricted shares under the long-term incentive 
plan. Restricted shares typically vest in 25% increments annually beginning on the first year anniversary of the date of grant and are 
expensed over the vesting period.

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $12.1 million ($7.6 million after tax 
or $0.08 per diluted share), $10.8 million ($6.8 million after tax or $0.07 per diluted share) and $9.4 million ($5.9 million after tax or 
$0.06 per diluted share), respectively, for stock option awards.

The fair value of stock option awards granted during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes 
option-pricing method with the following assumptions:

Weighted-average fair value per option 
Risk-free interest rate 
Dividend yield 
Expected stock volatility 
Expected life – years 

2013

2.76 %

Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected dividend yield, expected volatility and the expected 
lives of the options. The dividend yield was calculated based upon the last dividend prior to the grant compared to the trailing 
12 months’ daily stock prices. The risk-free interest rate was based upon yields of U.S. zero coupon issues with a term equal to the 
expected life of the option being valued. Forfeitures were estimated at 4%.

Note 12 – Stock Compensation Plans (continued)

The  total  intrinsic  value  of  options  exercised  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011  was  $25.2  million, 
$28.2  million  and  $26.0  million,  respectively.  Net  cash  proceeds  from  the  exercise  of  stock  options  were  $13.1  million, 
$13.8 million and $16.6 million, respectively. Income tax benefits were $8.9 million, $8.1 million and $7.2 million for the years 
ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In 2013, the Company issued 260,740 strategic performance shares and 121,080 strategic shares to officers and key employees. 
Strategic  performance  shares  are  performance-based  restricted  stock  units  that  vest  based  on  achievement  of  specified 
performance  objectives  and  cliff-vest  after  three  years.  Strategic  performance  shares  settle  in  either  cash  or  shares,  with 
243,580 shares expected to settle in cash and 17,160 expected to settle in shares. Strategic shares are timed-based restricted stock 
units and generally vest in 25% increments annually beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Strategic shares also 
settle in either cash or shares, with 65,400 strategic shares expected to settle in cash and 55,680 strategic shares expected to settle 
in common shares. For shares that are expected to settle in cash, the Company accrued $6.2 million in 2013, which was included 
in other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

A summary of restricted share activity, including restricted shares, deferred shares, strategic performance shares that will settle in 
common shares and strategic shares that will settle in common shares, for the year ended December 31, 2013 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2013, a total of 397,052 restricted shares have been awarded that have not yet vested. The Company distributed 
221,542, 249,569 and 302,924 shares in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, due to the vesting of these awards. The shares awarded 
in  2013,  2012  and  2011  totaled  111,640,  161,905  and  246,890,  respectively. The  Company  recognized  compensation  expense 
of $6.5 million, $7.2 million and $7.5 million, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, relating to 
restricted shares.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of $28.1 million related to stock option awards 
and  restricted  shares. The  unrecognized  compensation  expense  is  expected  to  be  recognized  over  a  total  weighted-average 
period of two years. The number of shares available for future grants for all plans at December 31, 2013 was 7,562,958.

The Company offers to certain employees a performance unit component under its long-term incentive plan in which awards 
are earned based on Company performance measured by two metrics over a three-year performance period. The Compensation 
Committee of the Board of Directors can elect to make payments that become due in the form of cash or the Company’s common 
shares. A total of 34,756 performance units were granted in 2011. Performance units granted, if fully earned, would represent 
156,183 of the Company’s common shares at December 31, 2012. Since the inception of the plan, 160,668 performance units were 
canceled. Each performance unit has a cash value of $100.

NOTE 13 – RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS 

The Company and its subsidiaries sponsor a number of defined benefit pension plans, which cover eligible employees, including 
certain employees in foreign countries. These plans are generally noncontributory. Pension benefits earned are generally based 
on  years  of  service  and  compensation  during  active  employment. The  cash  contributions  for  the  Company’s  defined  benefit 
pension plans were $120.7 million and $325.8 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following tables summarize the net periodic benefit cost information and the related assumptions used to measure the net 
periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31:

4.75% to 9.00 %
2.50% to 8.84 %
3.50% to 9.00 %

The discount rate assumption is based on current rates of high-quality long-term corporate bonds over the same period that 
benefit payments will be required to be made. The expected rate of return on plan assets assumption is based on the weighted-
average expected return on the various asset classes in the plans’ portfolio. The asset class return is developed using historical 
asset return performance as well as current market conditions such as inflation, interest rates and equity market performance.

For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied a discount rate of 4.00% to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. For expense 
purposes in 2014, the Company will apply a discount rate of 5.02% to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. A 0.25 percentage 
point decrease in the discount rate would increase pension expense by approximately $5.3 million for 2014.

For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied an expected rate of return of 8.00% for the Company’s U.S. pension plan 
assets. For expense purposes in 2014, the Company will apply an expected rate of return on plan assets of 7.25%. A 0.25 percentage 
point reduction in the expected rate of return would increase pension expense by approximately $6.6 million for 2014.

The  presentation  in  the  above  tables  for  amounts  recognized  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss  on  the  Consolidated 
Balance Sheets is before the effect of income taxes.

The following table summarizes assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plans at 
December 31:

3.25% to 9.75% 
2.30% to 8.00% 

2.75% to 9.5%
2.3% to 8.0%

Defined benefit pension plans in the United States represent 84% of the benefit obligation and 87% of the fair value of plan assets 
as of December 31, 2013.

Certain of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans were overfunded as of December 31, 2013. As a result, $342.6 million and 
$0.2 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are included in non-current pension assets on the Consolidated Balance 
Sheets. The current portion of accrued pension cost, which is included in salaries, wages and benefits on the Consolidated Balance 
Sheets, was $6.5 million and $6.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2013, the current portion of accrued 
pension cost relates to unfunded plans and represents the actuarial present value of expected payments related to the plans to 
be made over the next 12 months.

The accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 exceeded the market value of plan assets for several of the Company’s 
pension  plans.  For  these  plans,  the  projected  benefit  obligation  was  $600.6  million,  the  accumulated  benefit  obligation  was 
$585.8 million and the fair value of plan assets was $415.6 million at December 31, 2013.

The  total  pension  accumulated  benefit  obligation  for  all  plans  was  $3.0  billion  and  $3.4  billion  at  December  31,  2013  and 
2012, respectively.

Due  to  significant  increases  in  global  capital  markets  in  2013,  investment  performance  increased  the  value  of  the  Company’s 
pension assets by 10.8%.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s defined benefit pension plans did not directly hold any of the Company’s 
common shares.

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated 
other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $71.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

The Company’s target allocation for pension plan assets, as well as the actual pension plan asset allocations as of December 31, 
2013 and 2012, was as follows:

Note 13 – Retirement Benefit Plans (continued)

The  Company  recognizes  its  overall  responsibility  to  ensure  that  the  assets  of  its  various  defined  benefit  pension  plans  are 
managed effectively and prudently and in compliance with its policy guidelines and all applicable laws. Preservation of capital is 
important; however, the Company also recognizes that appropriate levels of risk are necessary to allow its investment managers 
to achieve satisfactory long-term results consistent with the objectives and the fiduciary character of the pension funds. Asset 
allocations are established in a manner consistent with projected plan liabilities, benefit payments and expected rates of return 
for various asset classes. The expected rate of return for the investment portfolio is based on expected rates of return for various 
asset classes, as well as historical asset class and fund performance.

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

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

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

Level 3  –   Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those investments of the Company’s pension assets measured at fair value 
on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013:

Assets:

Note 13 – Retirement Benefit Plans (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents are valued at redemption value. Government and agency securities are valued at the closing price 
reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded. Certain corporate bonds are valued at the closing price 
reported in the active market in which the bond is traded. Equity securities (both common and preferred stock) are valued at the 
closing price reported in the active market in which the individual security is traded. Common collective funds are valued based 
on a net asset value per share. Asset-backed securities are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets. When 
such prices are unavailable, the plan trustee determines a valuation from the market maker dealing in the particular security. 

Limited  partnerships  include  investments  in  funds  that  invest  primarily  in  private  equity,  venture  capital  and  distressed  debt. 
Limited  partnerships  are  valued  based  on  the  ownership  interest  in  the  net  asset  value  of  the  investment,  which  is  used  as  a 
practical expedient to fair value, per the underlying investment fund, which is based upon the general partner’s own assumptions 
about  the  assumptions  a  market  participant  would  use  in  pricing  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  partnership.  Real  estate 
investments include funds that invest in companies that primarily invest in commercial and residential properties, commercial 
mortgage-backed  securities,  debt  and  equity  securities  of  real  estate  operating  companies,  and  real  estate  investment  trusts. 
Mutual funds – real estate are valued based on the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual security is 
traded. Other real estate investments are valued based on the ownership interest in the net asset value of the investment, which 
is used as a practical expedient to fair value per the underlying investment fund, which is based on appraised values and current 
transaction prices.

EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLANS:
The  Company  sponsors  defined  contribution  retirement  and  savings  plans  covering  substantially  all  employees  in  the  United 
States and employees at certain non-U.S. locations. The Company has contributed Timken common shares to certain of these 
plans based on formulas established in the respective plan agreements. At December 31, 2013, the plans held 5,701,671 of the 
Company’s common shares with a fair value of $314.0 million. Company contributions to the plans, including performance sharing, 
were $28.5 million in 2013, $24.9 million in 2012 and $26.4 million in 2011. The Company paid dividends totaling $5.5 million in 
2013, $6.3 million in 2012 and $5.7 million in 2011 to plans holding the Company’s common shares.

NOTE 14 – POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS 

The Company and its subsidiaries sponsor several funded and unfunded postretirement plans that provide health care and life 
insurance benefits for eligible retirees and dependents. Depending on retirement date and employee classification, certain health 
care plans contain contribution and cost-sharing features such as deductibles, coinsurance and limitations on employer-provided 
subsidies. The remaining health care and life insurance plans are noncontributory.

The following tables summarize the net periodic benefit cost information and the related assumptions used to measure the net 
periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31:

Components of net periodic benefit cost:
Service cost 
Interest cost 
Expected return on plan assets 
Amortization of prior service credit

The discount rate assumption is based on current rates of high-quality long-term corporate bonds over the same period that 
benefit payments will be required to be made. The expected rate of return on plan assets assumption is based on the weighted-
average expected return on the various asset classes in the plans’ portfolio. The asset class return is developed using historical 
asset return performance as well as current market conditions such as inflation, interest rates and equity market performance.

For expense purposes in 2013, the Company applied a discount rate of 3.80% to its postretirement benefit plans. For expense 
purposes in 2014, the Company will apply a discount rate of 4.59% to its postretirement benefit plans. A 0.25 percentage point 
reduction in the discount rate would increase postretirement benefit expense by approximately $0.5 million for 2014.

In  December  2010,  the  Company  established  a VEBA  trust  for The Timken  Company  Bargaining  Unit Welfare  Benefit  Plan.  For 
expense  purposes  in  2013,  the  Company  applied  an  expected  rate  of  return  of  5.00%  to  the  VEBA  trust  assets.  For  expense 
purposes in 2014, the Company will apply an expected rate of return on plan assets of 5.00%. A 0.25 percentage point reduction in 
the expected rate of return would increase postretirement benefit expense by approximately $0.6 million for 2014.

Note 14 – Postretirement Benefit Plans (continued)

The  following  table  summarizes  assumptions  used  to  measure  the  benefit  obligation  for  the  postretirement  benefit  plans  at 
December 31:

Assumptions:  

Discount rate 
Rate of return 

2013 

4.59 % 
5.00 % 

2012

The current portion of accrued postretirement benefit cost, which is included in salaries, wages and benefits on the Consolidated 
Balance Sheets, was $41.6 million and $45.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2013, the current portion of 
accrued postretirement benefit cost related to unfunded plans and represents the actuarial present value of expected payments 
related to the plans to be made over the next 12 months.

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for the postretirement plans that will be amortized from accumulated other 
comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are zero expense and $1.4 million of expense, respectively.

For measurement purposes, the Company assumed a weighted-average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost (health care 
cost trend rate) for medical benefits of 7.25% for 2014, declining gradually to 5.0% in 2023 and thereafter; and 7.25% for 2014, 
declining gradually to 5.0% in 2023 and thereafter for prescription drug benefits; and 9.25% for 2014, declining gradually to 5.0% 
in 2031 and thereafter for HMO benefits.

The assumed health care cost trend rate may have a significant effect on the amounts reported. A one percentage point increase in 
the assumed health care cost trend rate would have increased the 2013 total service and interest cost components by $0.5 million 
and would have increased the postretirement benefit obligation by $10.4 million. A one percentage point decrease would provide 
corresponding reductions of $0.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Medicare Act) provides for prescription drug 
benefits under Medicare Part D and contains a subsidy to plan sponsors who provide “actuarially equivalent” prescription plans. The 
Company’s actuary determined that the prescription drug benefit provided by the Company’s postretirement plan is considered 
to  be  actuarially  equivalent  to  the  benefit  provided  under  the  Medicare  Act.  In  accordance  with  ASC  715, “Compensation  – 
Retirement Benefits,” all measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or net periodic postretirement benefit

The 2013 expected subsidy was $3.1 million, of which $1.4 million was received prior to December 31, 2013.

PLAN ASSETS:
The Company’s target allocation for the VEBA trust assets, as well as the actual VEBA trust asset allocation as of December 31, 2013 
and 2012, was as follows:

The  Company  recognizes  its  overall  responsibility  to  ensure  that  the  assets  of  its  postretirement  benefit  plan  are  managed 
effectively and prudently and in compliance with its policy guidelines and all applicable laws.

Preservation of capital is important; however, the Company also recognizes that appropriate levels of risk are necessary to allow 
its investment managers to achieve satisfactory long-term results consistent with the objectives and the fiduciary character of the 
postretirement funds. Asset allocations are established in a manner consistent with projected plan liabilities, benefit payments 
and expected rates of return for various asset classes. The expected rate of return for the investment portfolio is based on expected 
rates of return for various asset classes, as well as historical asset class and fund performance.

NOTE 15 – SEGMENT INFORMATION 

The Company operates under four reporting segments: (1) Mobile Industries; (2) Process Industries; (3) Aerospace; and (4) Steel.

Description of types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues:

The Company’s reportable segments are business units that target different industry sectors. Each reportable segment is managed 
separately to address specific customer needs in these diverse market segments.

The  Mobile  Industries  segment  includes  global  sales  of  bearings,  mechanical  power  transmission  components,  drive-chains, 
roller-chains, augers and related products and services (other than steel) to a diverse customer base, including original equipment 
manufacturers and their suppliers of passenger cars, light trucks, medium to heavy-duty trucks, rail cars, locomotives, agricultural, 
construction  and  mining  equipment.  The  Mobile  Industries  segment  also  includes  aftermarket  distribution  operations  for 
automotive and heavy truck applications.

The Process Industries segment includes global sales of bearings, mechanical power transmission components, industrial chains, 
augers and related products and services (other than steel) to a diverse customer base including original equipment manufacturers 
in the power transmission, energy and heavy industry market sectors. The Process Industries segment also includes aftermarket 
distribution operations for products other than steel and automotive applications.

The  Aerospace  segment  includes  sales  of  bearings,  helicopter  transmission  systems,  rotor  head  assemblies,  turbine  engine 
components, gears and other precision flight-critical components for commercial and military aviation applications. The Aerospace 
segment also provides aftermarket services, including repair and overhaul of engines, transmissions and fuel controls as well as 
aerospace bearing repair and component reconditioning. The Aerospace segment also includes sales of precision bearings and 
related products for health and critical motion control applications.

The  Steel  segment  manufactures  alloy  steel  as  well  as  carbon  and  micro-alloy  steel.  Included  in  its  portfolio  are  SBQ  bars  and 
seamless mechanical tubing. In addition, this segment supplies machining and thermal treatment services, as well as manages 
raw  material  recycling  programs. This  segment’s  metallurgical  expertise  and  unique  operational  capabilities  drive  customized, 
high-value  solutions  for  the  mobile,  industrial  and  energy  sectors.  Less  than  10%  of  the  Company’s  steel  is  directly  consumed 
in  its  bearing  operations.  In  addition,  the  Company  sells  steel  to  other  anti-friction  bearing  companies  and  to  aircraft,  forging, 
construction, industrial equipment, mining, tooling, oil and gas drilling and automotive industries and steel service centers.

Measurement of segment profit or loss and segment assets:

The  Company  evaluates  performance  and  allocates  resources  based  on  return  on  capital  and  profitable  growth. The  primary 
measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is EBIT. 

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting 
policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at values based on market prices, which creates intercompany profit on 
intersegment sales or transfers that is eliminated in consolidation.

Factors used by management to identify the enterprise’s reportable segments:

Net sales by geographic area are reported by the destination of net sales, which is reflective of how the Company operates its 
segments. Long-lived assets by geographic area are reported by the location of the subsidiary.

Export sales from the United States and Canada are less than 10% of the Company’s revenue. The Company’s Mobile Industries, 
Process Industries and Aerospace segments have historically participated in the global bearing industry, while the Steel segment 
has concentrated primarily on U.S. customers.

Timken’s non-U.S. operations are subject to normal international business risks not generally applicable to domestic business. 
These risks include currency fluctuation, changes in tariff restrictions, difficulties in establishing and maintaining relationships 
with local distributors and dealers, import and export licensing requirements, difficulties in staffing and managing geographically 
diverse operations and restrictive regulations by foreign governments, including price and exchange controls.

Note 16 – Income Taxes (continued)

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company implemented a strategy to repatriate approximately $365 million of cash, incurring tax 
expense of approximately $26 million. The Company repatriated $123 million of cash in January 2014, with the remaining portion 
expected to be repatriated in future periods. In connection with various investment arrangements, the Company has been granted 
a “holiday” from income taxes for one affiliate in Asia for 2013 and 2012 and two affiliates in Asia for 2011. These agreements began 
to expire at the end of 2010, with full expiration in 2018. In total, the agreements reduced income tax expense by $0.7 million in 
2013, $1.0 million in 2012 and $1.0 million in 2011. These savings resulted in an increase to earnings per diluted share of $0.01 in 
2013, $0.01 in 2012 and $0.01 in 2011.

Income  tax  expense  includes  U.S.  and  international  income  taxes.  The  Company  had  undistributed  earnings  related  to  its 
international subsidiaries of $577.9 million and $544.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. A deferred tax liability 
of $8.7 million has been accrued at December 31, 2013 for earnings of $136.1 million (relating to the$365 million cash repatriation 
strategy)  that  are  available  to  be  repatriated  to  the  U.S.  No  provisions  for  U.S.  income  taxes  have  been  made  with  respect  to 
earnings of $441.8 million that are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States. The amount of U.S. income 
taxes that may be applicable to such earnings is $23.3 million if such earnings were repatriated, net of foreign tax credits.

The effect of temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

Deferred tax assets:
Accrued postretirement benefits cost 
Accrued pension cost 
Inventory 
Other employee benefit accruals 
Tax loss and credit carryforwards 
Other, net 
Valuation allowances 

  Pension assets 
  Deferred tax liabilities – principally depreciation and amortization

The  Company  has  a  U.S.  foreign  tax  credit  carryforward  of  $19.9  million  that  will  begin  to  expire  in  2018,  and  U.S.  state  and 
local credit carryforwards of $2.1 million, portions of which will expire in 2014. The Company also has U.S. state and local loss 
carryforwards with tax benefits totaling $1.0 million, portions of which will expire at the end of 2014. In addition, the Company 
has loss carryforwards in various non-U.S. jurisdictions with tax benefits totaling $143.4 million having various expiration dates, as 
well as tax credit carryforwards of $0.2 million. The Company has provided valuation allowances of $162.2 million against certain 
of these carryforwards. The majority of the non-U.S. loss carryforwards represent local country net operating losses for branches of 
the Company or entities treated as branches of the Company under U.S. tax law. Tax benefits have been recorded for these losses in 
the United States. The related local country net operating loss carryforwards are offset fully by valuation allowances. In addition to 
loss and credit carryforwards, the Company has provided valuation allowances of $33.7 million against other deferred tax assets.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $49.5 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits. Included in this amount was 
$35.8 million, which represented the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would favorably impact the Company’s effective 
income  tax  rate  in  any  future  periods  if  such  benefits  were  recognized.  As  of  December  31,  2013,  the  Company  anticipates  a 
decrease  in  its  unrecognized  tax  positions  of  approximately  $30.0  million  to  $35.0  million  during  the  next  12  months.  The 
anticipated decrease is primarily due to settlements with tax authorities and the expiration of various statutes of limitation. As 
of December 31, 2013, the Company had accrued $9.8 million of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The 
Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

During 2013, gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased primarily due to net reductions related to various current year and prior 
year tax matters, including settlement of tax matters with government authorities and taxes related to the Company’s international 
operations. These decreases were partially offset by additions related to prior year tax matters, including certain U.S. federal taxes, 
U.S. state and local taxes and taxes related to the Company’s international operations.

During 2012, gross unrecognized tax benefits increased primarily due to net additions related to various prior year tax matters, 
including U.S. state and local taxes, and taxes related to the Company’s international operations. These increases were partially offset 
by reductions related to prior year tax matters, including U.S. state and local taxes and taxes related to the Company’s international 
operations, settlement of tax matters with government authorities and lapses in statutes of limitation on various tax matters.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company was subject to examination by the IRS for tax years 2012 to the present. The Company was 
also subject to tax examination in various U.S. state and local tax jurisdictions for tax years 2006 to the present, as well as various 
foreign tax jurisdictions, including Germany, Italy and India for tax years 2002 to the present. The current portion of the Company’s 
unrecognized tax benefits was presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within income taxes payable, and the non-current 
portion was presented as a component of other non-current liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are valued 
at redemption value. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year and are valued 
at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to 
measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts.

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

During 2012, machinery and equipment primarily associated with the manufacturing facility in St. Thomas with a carrying value of 
$10.4 million was written down to its fair value of $3.8 million, resulting in an impairment loss of $6.6 million. The fair value of these 
assets was based on the price that would be expected to be received in a current transaction to sell the assets on a standalone 
basis, considering the age and physical attributes of the equipment, compared to the cost of similar used equipment. The fair 
value of machinery and equipment was measured using Level 3 inputs.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, 
net, accounts payable, trade, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of 
cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, trade and short-term borrowings 
are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market 
prices, was $474.5 million and $481.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was 
$441.6 million and $424.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

NOTE 18 – 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, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on 
various foreign currencies are entered into in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted revenue 
denominated  in  foreign  currencies.  Other  forward  exchange  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. Forward contracts on various commodities are entered into in order to manage the price risk associated with 
forecasted purchases of natural gas used in the Company’s manufacturing process. Interest rate swaps are entered into 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 fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings. The majority of the Company’s natural gas forward contracts are 
not subject to any hedge designation as they are considered within the normal purchases exemption.

The  Company  does  not  purchase  or  hold  any  derivative  financial  instruments  for  trading  purposes.  As  of  December  31,  2013 
and 2012, the Company had $516.7 million and $97.0 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at 
notional value. Refer to Note 16 – Fair Value for the fair value disclosure of derivative financial instruments,

CASH FLOW HEDGING STRATEGY:
For certain derivative instruments that are designated as 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 effective portion of 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. The  remaining  gain  or  loss  on  the  derivative  instrument  in  excess  of  the  cumulative  change  in  the  present  value  of 
future cash flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion), or hedge components excluded from the assessment of 
effectiveness, are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income during the current period.

To protect against a reduction in the value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales over the next 
year, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted 
intra-group  revenue  or  expense  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. Conversely, 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.

FAIR VALUE HEDGING STRATEGY:
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair 
value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative 
instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the same line 
item associated with the hedged item (i.e., in “interest expense” when the hedged item is fixed-rate debt).

NOTE 19 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 

The  Company  performs  research  and  development  under  Company-funded  programs  and  under  contracts  with  the  federal 
government and others. Expenditures committed to research and development amounted to $46.1 million, $52.6 million and 
$49.6 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $0.4 million, $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were 
funded by others. Expenditures may fluctuate from year-to-year depending on special projects and needs.

2013 Timken Annual ReportFINANCIALS AND FOOTNOTESNOTE 20 – CONTINUED DUMPING AND SUBSIDY OFFSET ACT (CDSOA) 

CDSOA provides for distribution of monies collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (U.S. Customs) from antidumping 
cases to qualifying domestic producers where the domestic producers have continued to invest in their technology, equipment 
and people. The Company reported CDSOA expense of $2.8 million and income of $108.0 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In September 2002, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that CDSOA payments are not consistent with international trade 
rules. In February 2006, U.S. legislation was enacted that ended CDSOA distributions for dumped imports covered by antidumping 
duty orders entering the United States after September 30, 2007. Instead, any such antidumping duties collected would remain 
with  the  U.S. Treasury.  Several  countries  have  objected  that  this  U.S.  legislation  is  not  consistent  with WTO  rulings,  and  were 
granted retaliation rights by the WTO, typically in the form of increased tariffs on some imported goods from the United States. 
The European Union and Japan have been retaliating in this fashion against the operation of U.S. law.

In 2006, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) ruled, in two separate decisions, that the procedure for determining recipients 
eligible to receive CDSOA distributions was unconstitutional. In addition, several other court cases challenging various provisions 
of  CDSOA  were  ongoing.  As  a  result,  from  2006  through  2010,  U.S.  Customs  withheld  a  portion  of  the  amounts  that  would 
otherwise have been distributed under CDSOA.

In February 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed both of the 2006 decisions of the CIT. Later in December 
2009, a plaintiff petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a further appeal, but the Supreme Court declined the petition, allowing 
the appellate court reversals to stand. At that time, several court cases challenging various provisions of the CDSOA were still 
unresolved, so U.S. Customs accepted the CIT’s recommendation to continue to withhold CDSOA receipts related to 2006 through 
2010 until January 2012.

U.S. Customs began distributing the withheld funds to affected domestic producers in early April 2012. In April 2012, the Company 
received CDSOA distributions of $112.8 million in the aggregate for amounts originally withheld from 2006 through 2010.

While some of the challenges to CDSOA have been resolved, others are still in litigation. Since there continue to be legal challenges 
to CDSOA, U.S. Customs has advised all affected domestic producers that it is possible that CDSOA distributions could be subject 
to clawback. Management of the Company believes that the likelihood of clawback is remote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Timken Company and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Timken Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 
2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule 
listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial 
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates 
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position 
of The Timken Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and 
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles. Also, in  our  opinion, the related financial statement schedule,  when considered  in relation to the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), The 
Timken Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control-Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (1992 
framework) and our report dated February 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, 
under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  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 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

There have been no changes during the Company’s fourth quarter of 2013 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.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The  management  of  The  Timken  Company  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over 
financial reporting for the Company. Timken’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over 
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods 
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance 
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Timken management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2013. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission  (COSO).  Based  on  this  assessment  under  COSO’s  “Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  (1992  framework),” 
management believes that, as of December 31, 2013, Timken’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

On March 11, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Interlube Systems Ltd. (Interlube). On April 11, 2013, the Company 
completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Smith Services, Inc. (Smith Services). On May 13, 2013, the Company 
completed the acquisition of Hamilton Gear Ltd., d/b/a Standard Machine (Standard Machine). As permitted by SEC guidance, 
the scope of Timken’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 did not include the internal 
control over financial reporting of Interlube, Smith Services and Standard Machine. The results of Interlube, Smith Services and 
Standard Machine are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning March 11, 2013, April 11, 2013, and 
May 13, 2013, respectively. The total assets of Interlube, Smith Services and Standard Machine represented less than two percent, 
collectively, of the Company’s total assets at December 31, 2013. Net sales of Interlube, Smith Services and Standard Machine 
represented less than one percent, collectively, of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year then ended and less than 
one percent, collectively, of net income for the year then ended. The Company will include Interlube, Smith Services and Standard 
Machine in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting assessment as of December 31, 2014.

Ernst  & Young  LLP,  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm,  has  issued  an  audit  report  on  our  assessment  of Timken’s 
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, which is presented below.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Timken Company and subsidiaries

We have audited The Timken Company and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based 
on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the COSO criteria). The Timken Company and subsidiaries’ management is responsible 
for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control 
over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those  standards require that  we  plan  and perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether effective internal 
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal 
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating 
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in 
the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that 
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions 
of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation 
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the 
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide 
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s 
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Also, 
projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become  inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, The Timken Company and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the COSO criteria.

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States), 
the consolidated balance sheets of The Timken Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related 
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2014, and our report dated February 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
