Engineered Bearings: The Timken® bearing portfolio features a broad range of engineered bearing products, including tapered, spherical and cylindrical roller bearings; spherical plain bearings and rod end bearings; thrust and specialty ball bearings; and housed units. Timken is a leading authority on tapered roller bearings, and leverages its position by applying engineering know-how and technology across its entire bearing portfolio. A bearing is a mechanical device that reduces friction between moving parts. The purpose of a bearing is to carry a load while allowing a machine shaft to rotate freely. The basic elements of the bearing generally include two rings, called races; a set of rolling elements that rotate around the bearing raceway; and a cage to separate and guide the rolling elements. Bearings come in a number of designs, featuring tapered, spherical, cylindrical or ball rolling elements. The various bearing designs accommodate radial and/or thrust loads differently, making certain bearing types better suited for specific applications. 1 Selection and development of bearings for customer applications and demand for high reliability require sophisticated engineering and analytical techniques. High precision tolerances, proprietary internal geometries and quality materials provide Timken bearings with high load-carrying capacity, excellent friction-reducing qualities and long service lives. The uses for bearings are diverse and can be found in transportation applications that include premium passenger cars and trucks, heavy trucks, helicopters, airplanes and trains.

Services accounted for approximately 4% of the Company’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2020. Sales and Distribution: Timken products are sold principally by its 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 our customers need us, with sales engineers primarily working in close proximity to customers rather than at production sites. The Company's sales force continuously updates the team's training and knowledge regarding all friction management trends, and Timken employees assist customers during development and products and market sector 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, Schaeffler Group, ABB Group and Gates Industrial Corp. The e-business service focuses on information and business services for authorized distributors in the Process Industries segment. 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. Competition: The anti-friction bearing and power transmission businesses are highly competitive in every country where Timken sells products. Timken primarily competes 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, Schaeffler Group, NTN Corporation, JTEKT Corporation and NSK Ltd., and with manufacturers of power transmission products, including Rexnord Corporation, Altra Industrial Motion Corporation and Regal Beloit Corporation. Joint Ventures: Investments in affiliated companies accounted for under the equity method were $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The investment balance at December 31, 2020 was reported in other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 4 Backlog: The following table provides the backlog of orders for the Company's domestic and overseas operations at December 31, 2020 and 2019: (Dollars in millions) Segment: Mobile Industries Process Industries Total Company December 31, 2020 2019 $ $ 1,012.6 $ 1,016.2 2,028.8 $ 952.9 782.5 1,735.4 Approximately 83% of the Company’s backlog at December 31, 2020 is scheduled for delivery in the succeeding 12 months. Actual shipments depend upon customers' ever-changing production schedules. Accordingly, Timken does not believe that its backlog data and comparisons thereof, as of different dates, reliably indicate future sales or shipments. Raw Materials: The principal raw materials used by the Company to make engineered bearings are special bar quality ("SBQ") steel and steel components. SBQ steel and steel components are produced around the world by various suppliers. SBQ steel is purchased in bar, tube and wire forms, while steel components are commonly purchased as forgings, semi-finished or finished components. The availability and price of SBQ steel are subject to changes in supply and demand, commodity prices for ferrous scrap, ore, alloy, electricity, natural gas, transportation fuel, and labor costs. The Company manages price variability of commodities by using surcharge mechanisms on some of its contracts with its customers that provides for partial recovery of these cost increases in the price of bearing products. The availability of bearing-quality tubing is relatively limited, and the Company has taken steps to limit its exposure to this particular form of SBQ steel. Overall, the Company believes that the number of suppliers of SBQ steel is adequate to support the needs of global bearing production, and, in general, the Company 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 power transmission solutions and technical services. Timken's largest technical center is located at the Company's world headquarters in North Canton, Ohio. Other smaller sites in the United States ("U.S.") include Los Alamitos, California; Manchester, Connecticut; Downer's Grove and Fulton, Illinois; Rochester Hills and Traverse City, Michigan; Springfield, Missouri; Keene and Lebanon, New Hampshire; and King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Within Europe, the Company has technology facilities in Plymouth, England; Colmar, France; Pegnitz and Werdohl, Germany; Valmadrera, Italy; Gorinchem, Netherlands; and Ploiesti, Romania. In Asia, Timken operates technology and engineering facilities in Bangalore, India and Shanghai, China. Compliance with Governmental Regulations: 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's manufacturing plants are expected to have an effective environmental management system which follows the ISO 14001 principles and internal audits are performed against this standard. Where appropriate to meet or exceed customer requirements, we are certified under the formal ISO 14001 certification process. As of the end of 2020, 21 of the Company’s plants had obtained ISO 14001 certification, including the majority of the Company's bearing manufacturing plants. 5 The Company establishes appropriate levels of 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 requirements. The Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries previously have been and could in the future be 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 also have been asserted against numerous other entities. Management believes any ultimate liability with respect to pending actions will not materially affect the Company’s annual results of operations, cash flows or consolidated financial position. The Company also is conducting environmental investigation and/or remediation activities at certain 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 Other Regulations Because of its global operations, the Company is subject to a wide variety of domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including securities laws, tax laws, employment and pension-related laws, competition laws, U.S. and foreign export and trade laws, FCPA and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws, and laws governing improper business practices. The Company has policies and procedures in place to promote compliance with these laws and regulations and management believes any ultimate liability with respect to pending actions will not materially affect the Company’s annual results of operations, cash flows or consolidated financial position. the Company may be subject to both new laws and regulations, and changes to existing laws and regulations which may continue to evolve through interpretations by courts and regulators. Accordingly, it is difficult to assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements that differ from existing requirements. Such changes may require the Company to incur costs and such changes could form 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. Refer to Item 1.A Risk Factors – Risks Related to Legal, Compliance and Regulatory Matters for further discussion. In the future, 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, 2020, Timken had more than 17,000 employees worldwide. Approximately 9% of Timken’s U.S. employees are covered under collective bargaining agreements. 6 Human Capital: The Company believes that its associates and their collective knowledge are its most valuable resource. As a result, the Company is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment, attracting, motivating and retaining the best talent in the industry and providing opportunities for its associates to learn and advance their career with the Company. Associate Health and Safety The Coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic presented unique challenges with respect to protecting associate health and safety globally, and the Company is proud of how its associates responded. The health and safety of associates will always remain a top priority for the Company and the commitment to safety starts at the top of the organization. CEO, Richard Kyle, was the first-ever chair of the Company's Environmental Health and Safety Leadership Council, which was created in 2009 and continues to drive accountability and responsibility for safety throughout the organization. The Company's commitment to the health and safety of its associates is evidenced by its strong safety results in 2019 and 2020 shown in the charts below: Global Injury Rates as Calculated Based on OSHA Guidelines Recordable Rate* Lost Time Accident Rate* 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 2019 2020 2019 2020 *Rates calculated as (number of injuries and illnesses x 200,000) / employee hours worked. 2020 rates represent the Company's best estimate as of February 16, 2021. - - - represents the 2019 average (mean) for U.S. metal manufacturers (North American Industry Classification System ("NAICS") code 332) that employ at least 1,000 employees, based on information provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://www.bls.gov/iif/. The 2019 lost time accident rate of 0.19 represented record performance for the Company, while the 2020 rate of 0.31 remained strong. The Company aims to maintain a recordable rate within the top quartile of U.S. metal manufacturers (NAICS code 332) based on information provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it met that target in 2019. Industry data for 2020 was not available at the time of this report. In addition, the 2020 recordable rate of 0.91 represented record performance for the Company. Attracting, Retaining, and Motivating Highly Qualified Associates Successful execution of the Company's strategy continues to depend on attracting, retaining, and motivating highly qualified talent. As such, the Company believes it is important to reward associates with competitive wages and benefits to recognize professional excellence and career progression. The Company also believes it is important to provide pay and benefits that is competitive and equitable based on the local markets in which it operates. 7 In addition, the Company also believes that having open, honest dialogue with its associates is key to evolving its culture and keeping the Company strong. In line with that approach, the Company conducts comprehensive surveys on a periodic basis to measure employee engagement. The Company also deploys regular pulse surveys to gain insights from associates’ recent experiences and to better understand how effectively it is engaging, energizing and enabling its workforce. The Company also provides several professional development and training opportunities to advance our associates’ skills and expertise. Some of job-specific training, and educational reimbursement programs. To better inform its hiring and associate development efforts, the Company has partnered with third-party vendors to provide required training for its managers focused on diversity and inclusion. these opportunities include online-learning platforms, To further the Company's goal of inclusiveness, Timken associate resource groups (“ARGs”) around the world help us understand and address the challenges faced by our diverse workforce and the opportunities diversity offers in advancing our collective knowledge. Since 2009, our associates have driven the expansion of regional chapters across three primary ARGs: Women’s International Network (WIN), Multicultural Association of Professionals (MAP), and Young Professionals Network (YPN).

Risk Factors The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks that are described 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. Although the risks are organized by headings, and each risk is discussed separately, many are interrelated. 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 bearings 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, Schaeffler Group, NTN Corporation, JTEKT Corporation and NSK Ltd., and an increasing number of emerging market competitors. Due to competitiveness within the bearing industry, we may not be able to increase prices for our products to cover increases in our costs or to achieve desired profitability. 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. 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, restructuring 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. Our profitability is dependent on factors such as labor compensation and productivity and inventory and supply chain management, which are subject to risks that we may not be able to control. 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, reducing production, recording asset impairment charges and other measures, which may adversely affect our results of operations and profitability. We have taken approximately $59 million in impairment and restructuring charges in the aggregate 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. Changes in customer preferences and inventory reductions by customers or distributors could adversely affect the Company's business. The Company has previously experienced distributor inventory corrections reflecting de-stocking of the supply chain associated with softer demand in certain markets. The Company's results in a period may be adversely impacted by similar customer inventory adjustments in the future, as well as changes in customer buying preferences. Any change in raw material prices or the availability or cost of raw materials could adversely affect our results of operations and profit margins. We require substantial amounts of raw materials, including steel, to operate our business. Our supply of raw materials could be interrupted for a variety of reasons, including availability and pricing. Prices for raw materials necessary for production have fluctuated significantly in the past and could do so in the future. We generally attempt to manage these fluctuations by passing along increased raw material prices to our customers in the form of price increases or surcharges; however, we may be unable to increase the price of our products due to pricing pressure, contract terms or other factors, which could adversely impact our revenue and profit margins. 9 Moreover, future disruptions in the supply of our raw materials 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 from other sources. Any significant increase in the prices for such raw materials could adversely affect our results of operations and profit margins. 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, joint ventures and other alliances, 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. that we do not successfully integrate these acquisitions into our existing operations so as to realize the expected return on our investment or we uncover material issues that were not identified during our due diligence review, our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition could be adversely affected. In the event 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, especially as it relates to market and technological changes driven by electrification, environmental requirements, the continued rising importance of e-commerce and increased digitization. We may experience difficulties or delays in the research, development, production, or marketing of new products and services that 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 have a negative impact on our operating results. Loss of our rights to exclusive use of our intellectual property whether through patent infringement, counterfeiting, theft of trade secrets, or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Third-party claims alleging our infringement of intellectual property rights could also have a material adverse effect on the Company. invention assignment agreements, We rely on a combination of patents, confidentiality agreements, and other arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. These rights are important to our business, and their loss, whether through patent infringement, counterfeiting, theft of trade secrets, or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. trade secret trademarks, laws, Additionally, third parties may bring claims to challenge the validity of our patents or other intellectual property rights or allege that we infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. We may incur substantial costs if our competitors or other third parties allege such claims. If the outcomes of any such disputes are unfavorable to us, we could be subject to damages and reputational harm and our business could be otherwise adversely affected. 10 Risks Related to our Capital Structure, the Global Financial Markets, and Currency Exchange Rates Our level of debt and financial covenants or a failure to maintain our credit ratings could limit our ability to invest in our business. times, our debt At level may lead us to have less cash flow available for our business operations, capital expenditures, and strategic transactions and our ability to service our debt obligations or to obtain future financing could be negatively impacted by general adverse economic and industry conditions and interest rate trends. In addition, a failure to maintain our credit ratings could adversely affect our cost of borrowing, liquidity and access to capital markets. 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 net asset values, net sales, operating income and competitiveness. For those countries outside the U.S. where we have significant sales, a strengthening in the U.S. dollar or 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 or a weaker local currency 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. Our results of operations may be materially affected by conditions in global financial markets or in any of the geographic regions in which we, our customers or our suppliers 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. financial markets have experienced volatility in the past, Global including volatility in securities prices and diminished liquidity and credit availability. Our access to the financial markets cannot be assured and is dependent on, among other things, market conditions and company performance. Accordingly, we may be forced to delay raising capital, issue shorter tenors than we prefer or pay unattractive interest rates, which could increase our interest expense, decrease our profitability and significantly reduce our financial flexibility. If a customer becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, our ability to recover accounts receivable from that customer would be affected adversely and any payment we received during the preference period prior to a bankruptcy filing potentially may be 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. If any of our suppliers are unable or unwilling to provide the products or services that we require or materially increase their costs, our ability to offer and deliver our products on a timely and profitable basis could be impaired. We cannot assure you that any or all of our relationships will not be terminated or that such relationships will continue as presently in effect. Furthermore, if any of our suppliers were to become subject to bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, we may be unable to arrange for alternate or replacement relationships on favorable terms, which could harm our sales and operating results. 111 Risks Related to the Global Nature of our 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 international treaties or trade unions (e.g., the UK's recent withdrawal from the European Union, commonly referred to as "Brexit"), which may make our products or our customers' products more costly to export or import; changes in tariff regulations, which may make our products more costly to export or import; difficulties establishing and maintaining relationships with local 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 ("FCPA"); difficulty in staffing and managing geographically diverse operations; and tax exposures related to cross-border international operations. compliance with data protection regulations intercompany transfer pricing and other tax risks unique to These and other risks also may 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. Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, could adversely impact our revenue and profit margins. The U.S. government has imposed tariffs on certain foreign goods, including steel and other raw materials as well as certain products made from such materials. Changes in U.S. trade policy have resulted in, and could further result in, U.S. trading partners adopting responsive trade policies that make it more difficult or costly for us to export our products to those countries. These measures have resulted in increased costs for goods imported into the U.S. If we are unable to increase the price of our products or otherwise mitigate these increased costs, it could adversely impact our revenue and profit margins. Risks Related to Human Capital Management and Employee Benefits If we are unable to attract, retain and develop key personnel, our business could be materially adversely affected. Our business substantially depends on the continued service of key members of our management and other key employees. The loss of the services of a significant number of members of our management or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our future success also will depend on our ability to attract, retain and develop highly skilled personnel, such as engineering, finance, marketing and senior management professionals, as well as skilled labor. Competition for these types of employees is intense, and we could experience difficulty from time to time in hiring, developing and retaining the personnel necessary to support our business. If we do not succeed in retaining and developing our current employees and attracting new high- quality employees, our business could be materially adversely affected. 12 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, whether caused by fire, flooding, epidemics, pandemics (including the COVID-19 outbreak), other natural disaster or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, some of our employees are represented by labor unions or works councils under collective bargaining agreements with varying durations and terms. We have experienced work stoppages at certain of our facilities historically at times, and while these stoppages have been short-term in nature, no assurances can be made that we will not experience additional work stoppages due to government directives, employee health concerns, and other types of conflicts with labor unions, works councils, and other similar groups in the future. A work stoppage at one of our suppliers, whether caused by epidemic, pandemic or otherwise could also materially and adversely affect our operations if an alternative source of supply were not readily available. In addition, if one or more of our customers were to experience a work stoppage, whether due to an epidemic, pandemic or otherwise, that customer could halt or limit purchases of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the credit and default risk or bankruptcy of customers or suppliers as a result of work stoppages could also materially and adversely affect our operations and results. Expenses and contributions related to our defined benefit 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, all of which could impact our funded status. Our future expense and funding obligations for 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 with specific country economic performance risks set aside in trust 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 rate changes and other actuarial changes, our pension expense and required contributions would increase and, as a result, could materially adversely affect our business or require us to record charges that could be significant and would cause a reduction in our shareholders' equity. We may be required legally to make contributions to the pension plans in the future in excess of our current expectations, and those contributions could be material. Future actions involving our defined benefit and other postretirement plans, such as annuity purchases, lump-sum payouts, and/or plan terminations could cause us to incur significant pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment charges, and require cash contributions. We have purchased annuities and offered lump-sum payouts to defined benefit plan and other postretirement plan participants and retirees in the past. If we were to take similar actions in the future, we could incur significant pension settlement and curtailment charges related to the reduction in pension and postretirement obligations from annuity purchases, lump-sum payouts of benefits to plan participants, and/or plan terminations. Pursuing these types of actions could require us to make additional contributions to the defined benefit plans to maintain a legally required funded status. 13 Risks Related to Legal, Compliance and Regulatory Matters If government-imposed restrictions continue, are re-imposed, or are expanded, our business could be further adversely impacted. The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to create uncertainty with respect to economic demand and operations. We have global operations and customers and suppliers, in countries most impacted by COVID-19. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, including, among others, restrictions on travel and manufacturing operations in many regions of the world that are changing frequently as the pandemic evolves. In addition, we have implemented risk mitigation plans across the enterprise (including work-from-home policies, "social distancing," and use of personal protective equipment) to reduce the risk of spreading the virus in many of our global locations. To the extent that governments implement more restrictive mandates to combat the spread of COVID‑19, or reimpose restrictions that have now lapsed, or to the extent that the COVID‑19 outbreak intensifies, we could experience additional material impacts on our short- term and long-term operations and related results of operations, including revenue, gross margins, operating margins and cash flows. The full magnitude of the COVID‑19 pandemic, including the extent of the total impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity, which could be material, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to the fluidity of the situation. The full impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic will be determined by its duration, its geographic spread, the rate and intensity of individual spread, the extent and length of business disruptions due to government mandates and health authority guidance and the overall impact on the global economy, among other factors. Environmental health and safety laws and regulations impose substantial costs and limitations on our operations and compliance may be more costly than we expect. to the risk of substantial environmental We are subject 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 manage remediation activities 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 arising from environmental, health and safety laws, property damage or personal injury. Actual or alleged violations of environmental, health and safety laws or environmental permit requirements could result in restrictions or prohibitions on operations and substantial civil or criminal fines, as well as, under some environmental, health, and safety laws, the assessment of strict liability and/or joint and several liability. New laws and regulations, including those that 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. 14 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 trade laws, and laws governing improper business practices. We are affected by both new laws and regulations, and changes to existing laws and regulations which may continue to evolve through interpretations by courts and regulators. Furthermore, the laws and regulations to which we are subject may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, further increasing the cost of compliance and the risk of noncompliance. In addition, we could be adversely affected by violations of the FCPA and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws as well as export controls and economic sanction laws. The FCPA and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Recently, there has been a substantial increase in the global enforcement of anti-corruption laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. Our policies mandate compliance with these laws, but we cannot assure you that our internal controls and procedures will always protect us from the improper acts committed by our employees, agents or third-party intermediaries. If we are found to be liable for FCPA, export control or sanction violations, we could suffer from criminal or civil penalties or other sanctions, including loss of export privileges or authorization needed to conduct aspects of our international business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Also, our sales to public-sector customers are subject to complex regulations. Noncompliance with government procurement regulations or other applicable laws or regulations could result in civil, criminal and administrative liability, termination of government contracts or other public-sector customer contracts, and suspension, debarment or ineligibility from doing business with governmental entities or other customers in the public sector. 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. New or more stringent government regulations or standards designed to address climate change could increase our operational costs and severe weather associated with a changing climate could negatively impact our operations and those of our customers and suppliers. We are subject to domestic and foreign regulations and standards governing emissions controls which are, in part, designed to address climate change. Due to increasing global concern over the effects of climate change, new or more stringent regulations and standards may be mandated. In addition, various stakeholders may demand additional controls beyond what is required by such regulations or standards. Tighter emissions controls as a result of these actions could increase our operational costs and could lead to disruptions in our operations as compliance is attained. Severe weather associated with a changing climate could also negatively impact the operation of our facilities, as well as those of our customers and suppliers. 15 Risks Related to Data Privacy and Information Security The Company may be subject to risks relating to its information technology systems, including the risk of security breaches. its customers and suppliers. Despite security measures taken by the Company, The Company relies on information technology systems to manage and operate its business and to process, transmit and store sensitive and confidential data, including its intellectual property and other proprietary business information and that of the Company’s information technology systems (both on-premises and third-party managed) may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, supplier error, malfeasance or other disruptions. We have been and may in the future be subject to attempts to gain unauthorized access to our information technology systems. To date, the impacts of prior events have not had a material adverse effect on us. Any such breach in security could expose the Company and its employees, customers and suppliers to risks of misuse of confidential information, manipulation and destruction of data, production downtimes, litigation and operational disruptions, which in turn could adversely affect the Company's reputation, competitive position, business or results of operations. Data privacy and security concerns, as well as evolving government regulation, could adversely affect our results of operations and profitability. We collect, store, access and otherwise process certain confidential or sensitive data, including proprietary business information, personal data or other information that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations and/or customer-imposed controls. We operate in a global environment in which the data privacy regulatory and legal framework is evolving quickly. Moreover, the data privacy laws of the specific jurisdictions in which we operate may vary and potentially conflict. As such, we cannot predict the cost of compliance with future data privacy laws, regulations and standards, future interpretations of current laws, regulations and standards, or the potential effects on our business. Government enforcement actions can be costly and interrupt the regular operation of our business, and a violation of data privacy laws or a security breach involving personal data can result in fines, reputational damage and civil lawsuits, any of which may adversely affect our results of operations and profitability. General 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. There has been significant 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 also may be negatively affected by changes in customer demand, 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. Warranty, recall, quality or product liability claims could materially adversely affect our earnings. liability claims could materially adversely affect our earnings and brand Warranty, recall, quality or product reputation. 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, as well as adverse brand reputational impacts. 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 and brand reputation. 16 If our internal controls are found to be ineffective, our financial results or our stock price may be adversely affected. Our most recent evaluation resulted in our conclusion that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. We believe that we currently have adequate internal control procedures in place for future periods, including processes related to newly acquired businesses; however, increased risk of internal control breakdowns generally exists in a business environment that is decentralized. In addition, if our internal control over financial reporting is found to be ineffective, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which may adversely affect our stock price. Changes in accounting standards could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, as reported in our financial statements. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), which is periodically revised and/or expanded. Accordingly, from time to time we are revised accounting standards and related interpretations issued by recognized required to adopt new or authoritative bodies, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and the SEC. The impact of accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet implemented is disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. It is possible that future accounting guidance we are required to adopt, or future changes in accounting principles, could change the current accounting treatment that we apply to our consolidated financial statements and that such changes could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, as reported in our consolidated financial statements. 17 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. Item 2. Properties The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in North Canton, Ohio, and, at December 31, 2020, the Company maintained 73 manufacturing plants. The Company also maintains various sales and administrative offices and distribution centers throughout the world. None of these manufacturing plants, administrative offices or distribution centers are individually material to the Company’s operations. The facilities are situated in the United States, as well as 41 other countries, including China, India, and Romania. The Company owns the majority of its manufacturing plants, and its leased properties primarily consist of sales and administrative offices and distribution centers. The buildings occupied by Timken are principally made of brick, steel, reinforced concrete and concrete block construction. The Company believes all buildings are in satisfactory operating condition to conduct business. The extent to which the Company utilizes its properties varies by property and from time to time. The Company believes that the Company’s manufacturing facilities remain capable of handling additional volume increases. its capacity levels are adequate for its present and anticipated future needs. Most of Item 3. Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about environmental proceedings when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to such regulations, the Company uses a threshold of $1 million or more for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required as we believe matters under this threshold are not material to the Company. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or annual results of operations. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 18 Item 4A.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Dollars in millions, except per share data) OVERVIEW Introduction: The Timken Company designs and manufactures a growing portfolio of engineered bearings and power transmission products. With more than a century of knowledge and innovation, the Company continuously improves the reliability and efficiency of global machinery and equipment to move the world forward. Timken posted $3.5 billion in sales in 2020 and employs more than 17,000 people globally, operating in 42 countries. The Company operates under two reportable segments: (1) Mobile Industries and (2) Process Industries. The following further describes these business segments: • Mobile Industries serves OEM customers that manufacture off-highway equipment for the agricultural, mining and construction markets; on-highway vehicles including passenger cars, light trucks, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks; rail cars and locomotives; outdoor power equipment; rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft; and other mobile equipment. Beyond service parts sold to OEMs, aftermarket sales and services to individual end users, equipment owners, operators and maintenance shops are handled directly or through the Company's extensive network of authorized distributors. • Process Industries serves OEM and end-user customers in industries that place heavy demands on the fixed operating equipment they make or use in heavy and other general industrial sectors. This includes metals, cement and aggregate production; power generation and renewable energy sources; oil and gas extraction and refining; pulp and paper and food processing; automation and robotics; and health and critical motion control equipment. Other applications include marine equipment, gear drives, cranes, hoists and conveyors. This segment also supports aftermarket sales and service needs through its global network of authorized industrial distributors and through the provision of services directly to end users. Timken creates value by understanding customer needs and applying its know-how to serve a broad range of customers in attractive markets and industries across the globe. The Company’s business strengths include its product technology, end-market diversity, geographic reach and aftermarket mix. Timken collaborates with OEMs to improve equipment efficiency with its engineered products and captures subsequent equipment replacement cycles by selling largely through independent channels in the aftermarket. Timken focuses its international efforts and footprint infrastructure development and sustainability create demand for its products and services. the world where strong macroeconomic factors such as urbanization, in regions of The Company's strategy has three primary elements: Profitable Growth. The Company intends to expand into new and existing markets by leveraging its collective knowledge of metallurgy, friction management and power transmission to create value for Timken customers. Using a highly collaborative technical selling approach, the Company places particular emphasis on creating unique solutions for challenging and/or demanding applications. The Company intends to grow in attractive market sectors around the world, emphasizing those spaces that are highly fragmented, demand high service and value the reliability and efficiency offered by Timken products. The Company also targets applications that offer significant aftermarket demand, thereby providing product and services revenue throughout the equipment’s lifetime. Operational Excellence. Timken operates with a relentless drive for exceptional results and a passion for superior execution. The Company embraces a continuous improvement culture that is charged with increasing efficiency, lowering costs, eliminating waste, encouraging organizational agility and building greater brand equity to fuel growth. This requires the Company’s ongoing commitment to attract, retain and develop the best talent across the world. Capital Deployment to Drive Shareholder Value. The Company is intently focused on providing the highest returns for shareholders through its capital allocation framework, which includes: (1) investing in the core business through capital expenditures, research and development and other organic growth initiatives; (2) pursuing strategic acquisitions to broaden its portfolio and capabilities across diverse markets, with a focus on bearings, adjacent power transmission products and related services; (3) returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases; and (4) maintaining a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity. As part of this framework, the Company may also restructure, reposition or divest underperforming product lines or assets. 23 The following highlights some of the Company's more significant accomplishments in 2020: • • • • Sales to renewable energy customers grew by over 50% from 2019 through strong market growth and the benefit of outgrowth initiatives. Renewable energy became Timken’s largest individual end-market sector in 2020 at 12% of sales. The Company also announced over $75 million in capital investments to be made through early 2022 to increase the company’s renewable energy capabilities across its footprint. The Company reacted swiftly to the COVID-19 pandemic by taking decisive actions to (a) protect employees and other stakeholders while continuing to serve customers in essential industries and (b) reduce costs to mitigate the impact from lower revenue caused by the pandemic and improve the Company’s overall cost structure. Timken paid its 391st through 394th consecutive quarterly dividends during 2020, including a dividend of $0.29 per share during the fourth quarter, an increase of 4% from the prior quarter. 2020 marked the 7th consecutive year of annual dividend increases. The Company also repurchased 1.1 million shares of common stock in 2020. The Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Aurora Bearing Company (“Aurora”) in November 2020, which will enhance the Timken’s product portfolio and leadership position in engineered bearings. With annual sales of approximately $30 million in 2020, Aurora serves a diverse range of industrial sectors, including aerospace and defense, racing, off-highway equipment, and packing. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2020 vs. 2019 Overview: Net sales Net income Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest Net income attributable to The Timken Company Diluted earnings per share Average number of diluted shares 2020 2019 $ Change % Change $ $ $ 3,513.2 $ 3,789.9 $ (276.7) 292.4 7.9 284.5 $ 3.72 $ 374.7 12.6 362.1 $ 4.71 $ 76,401,366 76,896,565 (82.3) (4.7) (77.6) (0.99) — (7.3%) (22.0%) (37.3%) (21.4%) (21.0%) (0.6%) The decrease in net sales was primarily driven by lower organic volume revenue and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions and positive pricing. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the impact of lower volume, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and higher restructuring and pension remeasurement charges. The decrease was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, reflecting cost reduction initiatives, lower material and logistics costs, and the benefits from acquisitions and favorable price/mix. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Timken continued to operate and fill customer orders, and adjusted production as required by local government directives and to reflect changes in global demand. For most of the second quarter, the Company's operations were adversely impacted by lower global demand caused by the ongoing spread of COVID-19 around the world, which included various customer shut-downs and government imposed operating restrictions. During the second quarter, the Company took steps to reduce costs by implementing temporary salary reductions, work furloughs and other actions to align its costs with near-term demand expectations. During the third and fourth quarters, Timken was able to operate with no major restrictions, and production levels improved. Timken continued certain temporary cost reduction actions and expanded and accelerated certain structural cost reduction initiatives to align its costs with near-term demand expectations and to improve the profitability of the Company longer term. 24 Outlook: The world continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to adhere to mandates and other guidance from local governments and health authorities, including the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Timken has implemented risk mitigation plans across the enterprise to protect employees and reduce the risk of spreading the virus, while continuing to operate where permitted and to the extent practicable. The Company’s main priority continues to be the health of its employees and others in the communities where it does business. While the Company’s operations and financial results were adversely impacted during 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, operations had largely stabilized by the end of the year. The Company will continue to monitor, assess and manage the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Timken’s outlook for 2021 assumes that COVID-19 conditions around the world will improve globally as the year progresses. The Company expects 2021 full-year revenue to be up approximately 12% compared to 2020, primarily due to higher organic revenue across both the Mobile Industries and Process Industries segments, the impact from foreign currency exchange rates and the benefit of acquisitions. The Company's earnings are expected to be up approximately 20% in 2021 compared with 2020, primarily due to the impact of higher volume, partially offset by higher material costs and higher operating expenses to serve increased customer demand. The Company expects to generate cash from operating activities of approximately $450 million in 2021, a decrease from 2020 of approximately $128 million, or 22%, as the Company anticipates working capital to be a use of cash in 2021 versus a source of cash in 2020. The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $150 million (approximately 3.8% of sales) in 2021, compared with $122 million in 2020. THE STATEMENTS OF INCOME Sales: Net sales 2020 2019 $ Change (cid:8) Change $ 3,513.2 $ 3,789.9 $ (276.7) (7.3%) Net sales decreased in 2020 compared with 2019, primarily due to lower organic revenue (net of positive pricing) of $365 million and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $32 million, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions of $120 million. The lower organic revenue was primarily due to lower demand driven by the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that impacted most market sectors, partially offset by growth in renewable energy market sector. Gross Profit: Gross profit Gross profit % to net sales 2020 2019 $ Change Change $ 1,009.9 $ 1,141.8 $ 28.7% 30.1% (131.9) — (11.6%) (140) bps Gross profit decreased in 2020 compared with 2019, primarily due to the impact of lower volume of $168 million, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $28 million and unfavorable manufacturing performance of $12 million. These items were partially offset by the net benefit of acquisitions of $39 million, lower material and logistics costs $28 million and favorable price/mix of $4 million. In addition, the Company recognized net insurance proceeds of $1 million in 2020 after incurring property losses of $8 million in 2019. 25 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses % to net sales 2020 533.8 $ 2019 618.6 $ 15.2% 16.3% $ Change (84.8) $ Change (13.7%) — (110) bps The decrease in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in 2020 compared with 2019 was primarily due to lower employee costs and related benefits and lower discretionary spending as the Company implemented cost including temporary salary reductions, work furloughs and permanent headcount reductions, to reduce costs to combat the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact lower demand, mainly during the second quarter of 2020. Performance-based compensation was also lower in 2020, compared to 2019. reduction initiatives, Impairment and Restructuring Charges: Impairment charges Severance and related benefit costs Exit costs Total 2020 2019 $ Change $ $ 0.4 $ 19.6 1.2 21.2 $ 2.6 $ 3.0 1.2 6.8 $ (2.2) 16.6 — 14.4 Impairment and restructuring charges of $21.2 million in 2020 were comprised primarily of severance and related benefits associated with initiatives to reduce headcount and right-size the Company's manufacturing footprint, including the planned closure of the Company's Indianapolis, Indiana chain plant and the reorganization of the Company's Canton, Ohio and Gaffney, South Carolina bearing facilities. In addition, the Company recognized severance and related benefits as it began to accelerate and expand cost reduction initiatives. Impairment and restructuring charges of $6.8 million in 2019 were primarily due to severance and related benefits associated with a variety of initiatives to reduce headcount, as well as a goodwill impairment charge of $1.8 million for one of its reporting units. 26 Other Income (Expense): 2020 2019 Non-service pension and other postretirement (expense) income Other income, net $ (4.7) $ 10.0 $ Change % Change (146.1%) (23.1%) (14.9) (3.0) 10.2 $ 13.0 The Company recognized non-service pension and other postretirement expense in 2020 primarily due to the recognition of net actuarial losses ("Mark-to-Market Charges"). In 2019, the Company recognized non-service pension and other postretirement income. The Mark-to-Market Charges in 2020 were primarily due to the impact of lower discount rates to measure the benefit obligations for pension and other postretirement plans and the impact of experience losses, partially offset by favorable asset returns. The Mark-to-Market Charges in 2019 were the result of higher than expected returns on plan asset and the impact of a reduction in contractual rates for the Medicare Advantage plans, driven by a law change that repealed the tax on Health Care Insurers after 2020, partially offset by lower discount rates to measure the benefit obligations for pension and other postretirement plans. In addition, there was higher amortization of prior service credit in the current year due to a plan amendment for the Company's postretirement benefit plans in the second half of 2019. Refer to Note 15 - Retirement Benefit Plans and Note 16 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. The change in other income in 2020, compared to 2019, was primarily due to foreign currency losses, net of hedging activity, recognized in 2020, compared to foreign currency gains, net of hedging activity, in 2019, more than offset by an acquisition-related gain in 2020. The acquisition-related gain represents a bargain purchase price gain on the acquisition of the assets of Aurora acquired on November 30, 2020. Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions for more information. Income Tax Expense: Income tax expense Effective tax rate 2020 2019 $ Change Change $ 103.9 $ 97.7 $ 26.2 % 20.7 % 6.2 — 6.3% 550 bps The effective tax rate for 2020 was 26.2%, which was unfavorable compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate was higher than 21%, unfavorable U.S. permanent differences and U.S. state and local income taxes. The effective tax rate for 2019 was 20.7%, which was slightly favorable compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the release of foreign valuation allowance against certain foreign deferred tax assets and the remeasurement of deferred tax balances to reflect the reduced India statutory rate. These impacts were partially offset by reductions in foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate was higher than 21%, additional discrete accruals for uncertain tax positions, U.S. state and local income taxes and withholding taxes recorded on planned dividend distributions. The change in the effective rate for 2020 compared with 2019 was an increase of 5.5%. The increase was primarily due to the release of certain valuation allowances and the remeasurement of deferred tax balances to reflect the reduced India statutory tax rate during 2019. These items were partially offset by prior year discrete accruals for uncertain tax positions and withholding taxes recorded on planned dividend distributions during 2019. Refer to Note 5 - Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the computation of the income tax expense in interim periods. 27 BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company's reportable segments are business units that serve different industry sectors. While the segments often operate using shared infrastructure, each reportable segment is managed to address specific customer needs in these diverse market sectors. The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). Refer to Note 4 - Segment Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the reconciliation of EBITDA 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 completed in 2020 and 2019 and foreign currency exchange rate changes. The effects of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate changes 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. The following items highlight the Company's acquisitions completed in 2020 and 2019 by segment based on the customers and underlying markets served: • • • The Company acquired Aurora during the fourth quarter of 2020. Results for Aurora are reported in the Mobile Industries and Process Industries segments based on customers and underlying market sectors served. The Company acquired BEKA Lubrication ("BEKA") during the fourth quarter of 2019. The majority of the results for BEKA are reported in the Mobile Industries segment. The Company acquired The Diamond Chain Company ("Diamond Chain") during the second quarter of 2019. The majority of the results for Diamond Chain are reported in the Process Industries segment.

Other Income (Expense): Non-service pension and other postretirement income (expense) Other income, net 2019 2018 $ Change % Change $ 10.2 $ 13.0 (6.2) $ 9.4 16.4 3.6 (264.5%) 38.3 % The increase in non-service pension and other postretirement income (expense) for 2019 compared with 2018 was primarily due to the recognition of Mark-to-Market Charges of $4.2 million in 2019 compared to actuarial losses of $22.1 million in 2018. The Mark-to-Market Charges were the result of higher than expected returns on plan assets and the impact of a reduction in contractual rates for Medicare Advantage plans, driven by a law change that repealed the tax on health care insurers after 2020, partially offset by lower discount rates to measure the benefit obligations for pension and other postretirement plans. Actuarial losses in 2018 were partially offset by the benefit of curtailment gains of $10.2 million for two of the U.S. pension plans. Income Tax Expense: Income tax expense Effective tax rate 2019 2018 $ Change Change $ 97.7 $ 102.6 $ 20.7 % 25.1 % (4.9) — (4.8%) (440) bps The effective tax rate for 2019 was 20.7%, which was slightly favorable compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the release of a foreign valuation allowance against certain foreign deferred tax assets and the remeasurement of deferred tax balances to reflect the reduced India statutory tax rate. These impacts were partially offset by earnings in foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate was higher than 21%, additional discrete accruals for uncertain tax positions, U.S. state and local income taxes and withholding taxes recorded on planned dividend distributions. The effective tax rate for 2018 was 25.1%, which was unfavorable compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate was higher than 21%, unfavorable U.S. permanent differences and U.S. state and local income taxes. These impacts were partially offset by reductions to the one-time net charge related to the taxation of unremitted foreign earnings and the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax balances to reflect the new U.S. corporate income tax rate enacted with the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 ("U.S. Tax Reform"). The change in the effective rate for 2019 compared with 2018 was a decrease of 4.4%. The decrease was primarily due to the release of certain valuation allowances and the remeasurement of deferred tax balances to reflect the reduced India statutory tax rate. These impacts were partially offset by additional discrete accruals for uncertain tax positions and withholding taxes recorded on planned dividend distributions. 31 BUSINESS SEGMENTS 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 and divestitures completed in 2019 and 2018 and foreign currency exchange rate changes. The effects of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate changes 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. The following items highlight the Company's acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2019 and 2018: • • • • The Company acquired BEKA during the fourth quarter of 2019. The majority of the results for BEKA are reported in the Mobile Industries segment. The Company acquired Diamond Chain during the second quarter of 2019. The majority of the results for Diamond Chain are reported in the Process Industries segment. The Company acquired ABC Bearings Limited ("ABC Bearings"), Apiary Investments Holding Limited ("Cone Drive"), and Rollon S.p.A. ("Rollon") during the third quarter of 2018. Substantially all of the results for ABC Bearings are reported in the Mobile Industries segment. Results for Cone Drive and Rollon are reported in the Mobile Industries and Process Industries segments based on customers and underlying markets served. The Company divested Groeneveld Information Technology Holding B.V. (the "ICT Business") on September 19, 2018. The Company acquired the ICT Business in 2017 as a part of the Groeneveld Group ("Groeneveld") acquisition. The ICT Business is separate from the Groeneveld lubrication solutions business and was considered non-core to the operations. Results for the ICT Business were reported in the Mobile Industries segment. Mobile Industries Segment: Net sales EBITDA EBITDA margin Net sales Less: Acquisitions Divestitures Currency Net sales, excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and currency 2019 2018 $ Change Change $ 1,893.9 $ 1,903.7 $ 284.9 $ 272.2 $ $ 15.0% 14.3% (9.8) 12.7 — (0.5%) 4.7% 70 bps 2019 2018 $ Change % Change $ 1,893.9 $ 1,903.7 $ 82.5 (8.5) (36.0) — — — (9.8) 82.5 (8.5) (36.0) (0.5%) NM NM NM $ 1,855.9 $ 1,903.7 $ (47.8) (2.5%) The Mobile Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes, decreased $47.8 million or 2.5% in 2019 compared with 2018, reflecting lower shipments in the off highway and heavy truck sectors, partially offset by growth in the aerospace and rail sectors, as well as higher pricing. EBITDA increased in 2019 by $12.7 million or 4.7% compared with 2018, primarily due to favorable price/mix, lower material and logistics costs, the net benefit of acquisitions, and lower SG&A expenses. These factors were partially offset by the impact of lower volume and related manufacturing utilization, as well as property losses and related expenses from flood damage at a Company facility in Tennessee and fire damage at a facility in China. 32 Process Industries Segment: Net sales EBITDA EBITDA margin Net sales Less: Acquisitions Currency 2019 2018 $ Change $ 1,896.0 466.6 $ $ 1,677.1 405.7 $ 24.6% 24.2% 2019 2018 $ 1,896.0 196.4 (36.5) $ 1,677.1 — — $ $ $ Change 13.1% 15.0% 40 bps 218.9 60.9 — $ Change 218.9 196.4 (36.5) % Change 13.1% NM NM Net sales, excluding the impact of acquisitions and currency $ 1,736.1 $ 1,677.1 $ 59.0 3.5 % The Process Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate changes, increased $59.0 million or 3.5% in 2019 compared with 2018. The increase was primarily driven by growth in the renewable energy sector, as well as positive pricing. EBITDA increased $60.9 million or 15.0% in 2019 compared with 2018 primarily due to the net benefit of acquisitions, favorable price/mix and the impact of higher volume, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses. Corporate: Corporate expenses Corporate expenses % to net sales 2019 2018 $ Change Change $ 56.2 $ 62.0 $ 1.5 % 1.7% (5.8) — (9.4%) (20) bps Corporate expenses decreased in 2019 compared with 2018 primarily due to higher transaction costs related to acquisitions in 2018. 33 THE BALANCE SHEETS The following discussion is a comparison of December 31, 2019. the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2020 and Current Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Accounts receivable, net Unbilled receivables Inventories, net Deferred charges and prepaid expenses Other current assets Total current assets December 31, 2020 2019 $ Change % Change $ $ 320.3 $ 0.8 581.1 110.9 841.3 39.9 106.0 2,000.3 $ 209.5 $ 6.7 545.1 129.2 842.0 36.7 105.4 1,874.6 $ 110.8 (5.9) 36.0 (18.3) (0.7) 3.2 0.6 125.7 52.9% (88.1%) 6.6% (14.2%) (0.1%) 8.7% 0.6% 6.7% Refer to the "Cash Flows" section for discussion on the change in cash and cash equivalents. Accounts receivable increased primarily due to the timing of billings related to marine contracts as of December 31, 2020. Unbilled receivables decreased primarily due to customer billings exceeding revenue recognized for marine contracts as of December 31, 2020. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net: Property, plant and equipment, net December 31, 2020 2019 $ Change % Change $ 1,035.6 $ 989.2 $ 46.4 4.7% The increase in property, plant and equipment, net in 2020 was primarily due to capital expenditures of $132 million, the net impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $22 million and $11 million from a business acquired in 2020. The increase was partially offset by depreciation of $111 million in 2020. Other Assets: Goodwill Other intangible assets Operating lease assets Non-current pension assets Non-current other postretirement benefit assets Deferred income taxes Other non-current assets Total other assets December 31, 2020 2019 $ Change % Change $ $ 1,047.6 $ 741.4 118.2 2.0 — 77.0 19.5 2,005.7 $ 993.7 $ 758.5 114.1 3.4 36.6 71.8 18.0 1,996.1 $ 53.9 (17.1) 4.1 (1.4) (36.6) 5.2 1.5 9.6 5.4% (2.3%) 3.6% (41.2%) (100.0%) 7.2% 8.3% 0.5% The increase in goodwill in 2020 was primarily due to foreign currency exchange rate changes of $46 million. The decrease in other intangible assets was primarily due to amortization of $47 million in 2020, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $36 million The decrease in non-current postretirement benefit assets was due to the creation of a new Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association ("VEBA") trust in January 2020. The creation of a new $50 million VEBA trust to pay for certain active employee's medical benefits shifted the balance from an overfunded asset position as of December 31, 2019 to a liability position as of December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 16 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. 34 Current Liabilities: Short-term debt Current portion of long-term debt Short-term operating lease liabilities Accounts payable Salaries, wages and benefits Income taxes payable Other current liabilities Total current liabilities December 31, 2020 2019 $ Change % Change $ $ 119.8 $ 10.9 27.2 351.4 135.7 16.1 186.9 848.0 $ 17.3 $ 64.7 28.3 301.7 134.5 17.8 172.3 736.6 $ 102.5 (53.8) (1.1) 49.7 1.2 (1.7) 14.6 111.4 NM (83.2%) (3.9%) 16.5% 0.9% (9.6%) 8.5% 15.1% The increase in short-term debt was primarily due to borrowings under the $100 million Amended and Restated Asset Securitization Agreement (the "Accounts Receivable Facility") being now classified as short-term due to its upcoming maturity in November of 2021, as well as an increase in borrowings under the variable-rate lines of credit for the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The decrease in the current portion of long-term debt was primarily due to the payment of $47 million on the Company's €100 million term loan that matured on September 18, 2020 (the "2020 Term Loan"). The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to efforts by the Company to increase days payable outstanding in 2020, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $11 million. The increase in other current liabilities was primarily due to an increase in the current derivative liability of $6 million. Refer to Note 19 - Derivative Instruments in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. In addition, accrued restructuring increased $5 million as compared to the prior year end. Refer to Note 14 - Impairment and Restructuring Charges in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. 35 Non-Current Liabilities: Long-term debt Accrued pension benefits Accrued postretirement benefits Long-term operating lease liabilities Deferred income taxes Other non-current liabilities Total non-current liabilities December 31, 2020 2019 $ Change % Change $ $ 1,433.9 $ 163.0 41.3 75.5 148.7 106.0 1,968.4 $ 1,648.1 $ 165.1 31.8 71.3 168.2 84.0 2,168.5 $ (214.2) (2.1) 9.5 4.2 (19.5) 22.0 (200.1) (13.0%) (1.3%) 29.9% 5.9% (11.6%) 26.2% (9.2%) The decrease in long-term debt was due to repayment of debt during the year, including the repayment of the 2020 Term Loan that matured in September of 2020 and reduced borrowings under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Senior Credit Facility"), as well as the reclassification of borrowings under the Accounts Receivable facility to short-term as of December 31, 2020. The increase in accrued postretirement benefits was primarily due to the creation of the new VEBA trust. In January 2020, the Company transferred $50 million from an existing VEBA trust under the Company's postretirement benefit plans to fund the new VEBA trust to pay for certain active employees' medical benefits. The creation of the new VEBA trust shifted the balance from overfunded as of December 31, 2019 to a liability position as of December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 16 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. The increase in other non-current liabilities was primarily due to $8.5 million of payroll taxes that are deferred for more than 12 months under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as well as an increase to the uncertain tax positions of approximately $5 million. Shareholders’ Equity: Common stock Retained earnings Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) Treasury shares Noncontrolling interest Total equity December 31, 2020 2019 $ Change % Change $ 781.4 $ 990.7 $ 1,339.5 1,907.4 41.3 (9.3) 72.3 (50.1) (979.8) 86.6 $ 2,225.2 $ 1,954.8 $ (209.3) (567.9) 91.4 970.5 (14.3) 270.4 (21.1%) (29.8%) (182.4%) 99.1% (16.5%) 13.8% The decrease in common stock is primarily due to the retirement of shares, resulting in a $12.4 million reduction to stated capital and a $213.3 million reduction to other paid-in capital, partially offset by stock option exercises of $16.1 million. Earnings invested in the business in 2020 decreased primarily due to the retirement of treasury shares of $764.9 million and dividends declared of $87.0 million, partially offset by net income attributable to the Company of $284.5 million. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive income was primarily due to current year foreign currency adjustments of $92.7 million. See "Other Disclosures - Foreign Currency" for further discussion regarding the impact of foreign currency translation. The decrease in treasury shares was primarily due to the retirement of 23.0 million shares for $990.6 million and $29.2 million of shares issued, net of shares surrendered, for stock compensation plans for 2020, partially offset by the purchase of 1.1 million of its common shares for $49.3 million. The decrease in noncontrolling interest was primarily due to a dividend declared by Timken India Limited that resulted in payment to the noncontrolling interest parties in the third quarter of 2020. 36 CASH FLOWS Net cash provided by operating activities Net cash used in investing activities Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities Effect of exchange rate changes on cash Increase in cash and cash equivalents Operating Activities: 2020 2019 $ Change 577.6 $ (153.5) (331.1) 11.9 104.9 $ 550.1 $ (364.9) (100.7) (1.4) 83.1 $ 27.5 211.4 (230.4) 13.3 21.8 $ $ The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in 2020 compared with 2019 was primarily due to a favorable impact of working capital items of $47.6 million, the favorable impact of income taxes of $8.4 million, the favorable impact of pension and other postretirement benefit expense and contributions of $38.1 million, partially offset by lower net income of $82.3 million. Refer to the table below for additional detail of the impact of each line on net cash provided by operating activities. The following chart displays the impact of working capital items on cash during 2020 and 2019, respectively: Cash provided (used): Accounts receivable Unbilled receivables Inventories Trade accounts payable Other accrued expenses Cash provided by working capital items 2020 2019 $ Change $ $ (20.7) $ 18.5 27.4 22.6 55.1 102.9 $ 24.1 $ (12.6) 50.7 19.9 (26.8) 55.3 $ (44.8) 31.1 (23.3) 2.7 81.9 47.6 The following table displays the impact of income taxes on cash during 2020 and 2019, respectively: Accrued income tax expense Income tax payments Other miscellaneous Change in income taxes Investing Activities: 2020 2019 $ Change $ $ 103.9 $ (119.3) 0.7 (14.7) $ 97.7 $ (118.6) (2.2) (23.1) $ 6.2 (0.7) 2.9 8.4 The decrease in net cash used in investing activities in 2020 compared with 2019 was primarily due to a $202.5 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions and a $19.0 million decrease in cash used in capital expenditures, partially offset by a $5.2 million increase in cash used for investments in short-term marketable securities. Financing Activities: The decrease in net cash used by financing activities in 2020 compared with 2019 was primarily due to a decrease in net borrowings of $234.6 million due to an increase of debt payments in 2020. 37 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Reconciliation of total debt to net debt and the ratio of net debt to capital: Net Debt: Short-term debt Current portion of long-term debt Long-term debt Total debt Less: Cash and cash equivalents Net debt Ratio of Net Debt to Capital: Net debt Total equity Capital (net debt + total equity) Ratio of net debt to capital December 31, 2020 2019 $ $ $ 119.8 $ 10.9 1,433.9 1,564.6 $ 320.3 1,244.3 $ 17.3 64.7 1,648.1 1,730.1 209.5 1,520.6 December 31, 2020 2019 $ 1,244.3 $ 1,520.6 2,225.2 1,954.8 $ 3,469.5 $ 3,475.4 35.9% 43.8% The Company presents net debt because it believes net debt is more representative of the Company's financial position than total debt due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company and the ability to utilize such cash and cash equivalents to reduce debt if needed. At December 31, 2020, the Company had strong liquidity with $320.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on the its $320.3 million of cash and cash equivalents resided in Consolidated Balance Sheet. $287.4 million of jurisdictions outside the U.S. Repatriation of non-U.S. cash could be subject to taxes and some portion may be subject to governmental restrictions. Part of the Company's strategy is to grow in attractive market sectors, many of which are outside the U.S. This strategy includes making investments in facilities, equipment and potential new acquisitions. The Company plans to fund these investments, as well as meet working capital requirements, with cash and cash equivalents and unused lines of credit within the geographic location of these investments where feasible. On June 25, 2019, the Company entered into the Senior Credit Facility, which is a $650.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on June 25, 2024. At December 31, 2020, the Senior Credit Facility had outstanding borrowings of $9.7 million, which reduced the availability to $640.3 million. The Senior Credit Facility has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2020, the Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 1.92 to 1.0 (based on the net debt construct discussed further below). The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2020, the Company's consolidated interest coverage ratio was 10.14 to 1.0. On May 27, 2020, both the Senior Credit Facility and the $350 million variable-rate term loan that matures on September 11, 2023 (the "2023 Term Loan") were amended to, among other things, effectively increase the limit with respect to the consolidated leverage ratio. As amended, the consolidated leverage ratio under both the Senior Credit Facility and the 2023 Term Loan is calculated using a net debt construct, netting unrestricted cash in excess of $25 million, instead of total debt. This change to the consolidated leverage ratio calculation will be effective through June 30, 2021, after which the calculation of the consolidated leverage ratio under the Senior Credit Facility and the 2023 Term Loan will revert back to a total debt construct. 38 The interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility is variable with a spread based on the Company's debt rating. The average rate on outstanding U.S. dollar borrowings was 2.01% and the average rate on outstanding Euro borrowings was 1.48% as of December 31, 2020. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee based on the applicable rate, which is variable with a spread based on the Company's debt rating, multiplied by the aggregate commitments of all of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company currently carries investment-grade credit ratings with Moody's (Baa3), Fitch (BBB-) and Standard and Poor's (BBB-). The Company has a $100 million Accounts Receivable Facility, which matures on November 30, 2021. The Accounts Receivable Facility is subject to certain borrowing base limitations and is secured by certain domestic trade accounts receivable of the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $58.0 million outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility. Certain borrowing base limitations reduced the availability under the Accounts Receivable Facility to $83.9 million at December 31, 2020. The Company currently intends to renew or replace the Accounts Receivable Facility prior to its maturity. Other sources of liquidity include uncommitted short-term lines of credit for certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which provide for borrowings of up to approximately $277.4 million. At December 31, 2020, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $61.8 million and bank guarantees of $0.7 million, which reduced the aggregate availability under these facilities to approximately $214.9 million. At December 31, 2020, the Company was in full compliance with all applicable covenants on its outstanding debt, and expects to remain in full compliance with its debt covenants. The Company expects to generate cash from operating activities of approximately $450 million in 2021, a decrease from 2020 of approximately $128 million, or 22%, as the Company anticipates working capital to be a use of cash in 2021 versus a source of cash in 2020. The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $150 million in 2021, compared with $122 million in 2020. 39 FUTURE CONTRACTUAL PAYMENTS The Company’s contractual debt obligations and contractual commitments outstanding as of December 31, 2020 were as follows: Payments due by period: Future Contractual Payments Interest payments Long-term debt, including current portion Short-term debt Operating leases Retirement benefits Total Total $ 351.8 $ 1,444.8 119.8 113.5 152.5 2,295.9 $ $ Less than 1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years More than 5 Years 52.3 $ 10.9 119.8 30.2 21.3 264.7 $ 103.2 $ 20.4 — 39.5 31.4 234.0 $ 88.6 $ 664.5 — 19.1 29.8 821.1 $ 107.7 749.0 — 24.7 70.0 976.1 The interest payments beyond five years primarily relate to long-term fixed-rate notes. Refer to Note 11 - Financing Arrangements in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. In order to maintain minimum funding requirements, the Company is required to make contributions to the trusts established for its defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The table above shows the expected future minimum cash contributions to the trusts for the funded plans as well as estimated future benefit payments to participants for the unfunded plans. Those minimum funding requirements and estimated benefit payments can vary significantly. The amounts in the table above are based on actuarial estimates using current assumptions for, among other things, discount rates, expected return on assets and health care cost trend rates. During 2020, the Company made cash contributions and payments of approximately $17.9 million to its global defined benefit pension plans and $2.7 million to its other postretirement benefit plans. Refer to Note 15 - Retirement Benefit Plans and Note 16 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Refer to Note 5 - Income Taxes and Note 12 - Contingencies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company's exposure for certain tax and legal matters. In the ordinary course of business, the Company utilizes standby letters of credit issued by financial institutions to guarantee certain obligations, most of which relate to insurance contracts. At December 31, 2020, outstanding letters of credit totaled $41.5 million, primarily having expiration dates within 12 months. 40 NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE ISSUED AND NOT YET ADOPTED 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. Inventory: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with approximately 61% valued by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method and the remaining 39% valued by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. The majority of the Company’s domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO method, while 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 $3.2 million during 2020 compared to an increase in its LIFO reserve of $5.0 million during 2019. Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets: The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, performing its annual impairment test as of October 1st. Furthermore, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed the carrying value may not be for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverable. Each interim period, the Company assesses whether or not an indicator of impairment is present that would necessitate a goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis be performed in an interim period other than during the fourth quarter. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Mobile Industries segment has four reporting units and the Process Industries segment has two reporting units. The reporting units within the Mobile Industries segment are Mobile Industries, Lubrication Systems, Aerospace Drive Systems and Aerospace Bearing Inspection. The reporting units within the Process Industries segment are Process Industries and Industrial Services. Accounting guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether additional indefinite- lived intangible asset impairment testing, including goodwill, is required. No qualitative factors indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of reporting units were less than their respective carrying values, but due to the length of time since the previous quantitative tests, the Company chose to perform a quantitative analysis for all reporting units as of October 1, 2020. The Company prepares its quantitative 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 and market approach are weighted in arriving at fair value based on the relative merits of the methods used and the quantity and quality of collected data to arrive at the indicated fair value. The income approach requires several assumptions including future sales growth, EBITDA margins and capital expenditures. The Company’s reporting units each provide their forecast of results for the next five years. These forecasts form 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 five years forecast by the reporting units), as well as projections of future operating margins (for the period beyond the forecast five years). During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company used discount rates for its individual reporting units in the range of 10.0% to 11.0% and a terminal revenue growth rate in the range of 2.0% to 3.0%. 41 The market approach requires several assumptions including sales and EBITDA multiples for comparable companies that operate in the same markets as the Company’s reporting units. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company used sales multiples in the range of 1.05 to 2.00 and EBITDA multiples in the range of 7.0 to 9.5 for its reporting units. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $1,047.6 million of goodwill on its Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $384.6 million was attributable to the Mobile Industries segment and $663.0 million was attributable to the Process Industries segment. See Note 9 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for movements in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment. The Company notes that reporting units with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles primarily due to recent acquisitions are likely to have fair values that are closer to the current carrying value, due to the shorter period of time for fair value from the recent acquisition to have changed. The Lubrication reporting unit has a carrying value of $436.9 million and the fair value as of October 1, 2020 exceeded that amount by 10%. The Lubrication reporting unit primarily consists of businesses acquired in 2017 and 2019, and as a result, it is consistent with expectations that the fair value is closer to the carrying value. In addition, there was one indefinite-lived intangible with a carrying value totaling $17.5 million in which the fair value exceeded the carrying value of the assets by 10% or less. This is consistent with management's expectations, as the acquisition that generated this asset was completed in the second half of 2019. Based on the October 1, 2020 quantitative assessment, all other reporting units and indefinite-lived intangibles have fair value that exceeds the current carrying value by more than 10%. Management believes the future sales growth and EBITDA margins in the long range plan and the discount rate used in the valuations requires significant use of judgment. If any of our reporting units do not meet our long range plan estimates or our discount rate increase significantly, we could be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis or charges in future periods. The assumptions used for the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangibles with fair values exceeding carrying values of 10% or less are more sensitive to future performance and will be monitored accordingly. Income taxes: 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. The Company, which is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions, accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("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. Deferred tax assets relate primarily tax loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions, as well as pension and postretirement benefit obligations in the U.S., which the Company believes are more likely than not to result in future tax benefits. the historical and projected financial is considered along with any other pertinent performance of information. The Company recorded $0.7 million in 2020 and $44.5 million in 2019 of tax benefits related to the reversal of valuation allowances. Refer to Note 5 - Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the valuation allowance reversals. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the entity recording the net deferred tax asset 42 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 in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 740. The uncertain tax positions are provided for Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. In 2020, the Company recorded $6.4 million of net tax expense for uncertain tax positions, which consisted of $10.7 million of interest and increases to current and prior year uncertain tax positions. This expense was partially offset by $4.2 million related to the net reversal of accruals for prior year uncertain tax positions and settlements with tax authorities. The Company also recorded $3.8 million of uncertain tax positions related to deferred tax liabilities. Purchase accounting and business combinations: Assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business combination are recognized at their acquisition date fair values. In determining these fair values, the Company utilized various forms of the income, cost and market approaches depending on the asset or liability being valued. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to measure the trade names, customer relationship, and technology and know-how-related intangible assets. The estimation of fair value required significant judgment related to future net cash flows based on assumptions related to revenue and EBITDA growth rates, discount rates, and royalty rates. Inputs were generally determined by taking into account competitive trends, market comparisons, independent appraisals, and historical data, among other factors, and were supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions. Refer to Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion regarding the fair value process. Revenue recognition: A contract exists when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer of the Company are satisfied. Refer to Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion around the Company's revenue policy. 43 Benefit Plans: The Company sponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans that cover eligible employees. 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." including discount rates and health care cost The measurement of liabilities related to these plans is based on management's assumptions related to future events, regularly evaluates these assumptions and adjusts them as required and appropriate. Other plan assumptions also are 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 affect materially the Company's pension and other postretirement employee benefit obligations and its future expense and cash flow. trend rates. Management 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 generally are 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 also is 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. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately through net periodic benefit cost upon the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if specific events trigger a remeasurement. 44 Defined Benefit Pension Plans: The Company recognized net periodic benefit cost of $23.9 million during 2020 for defined benefit pension plans, compared to net periodic benefit cost of $22.7 million during 2019. The Company recognized mark-to-market charges of $16.2 million during 2020 compared to $13.9 million during 2019. Mark-to-market charges in 2020 were primarily due to the impact of a net reduction in the discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligations of $88.0 million and the impact of experience losses of $16.9 million, partially offset by higher than expected returns on plan assets of $84.3 million and other changes in valuation assumptions of $4.4 million. The impact of the net reduction in the discount rate used to measure the Company's defined benefit pension obligations was primarily driven by a 66 basis point reduction in the weighted-average discount rate used to measure its U.S. plan obligations, which decreased from 3.50% in 2019 to 2.84% in 2020. In 2021, the Company expects net periodic benefit cost to be approximately $1 million for defined benefit pension plans, compared with net periodic benefit cost of $23.9 million in 2020. Net periodic benefit cost for 2021 does not include mark-to-market charges that will be recognized immediately through earnings in the fourth quarter of 2021, or on an interim basis if specific events trigger a remeasurement. Excluding the mark-to-market charges of $16.2 million and curtailment losses of $0.9 million recognized in 2020, net periodic benefit cost was $6.8 million in 2020. The expected reduction in net periodic benefit cost, excluding mark-to-market charges and curtailment losses, primarily reflects lower expected interest costs. The Company expects to contribute to its defined benefit pension plans or pay directly to participants of defined benefit plans approximately $16 million in 2021 compared with $17.9 million of contributions and payments in 2020. For expense purposes in 2020, the Company applied a weighted-average discount rate of 3.50% to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. For expense purposes in 2021, the Company will apply a weighted-average discount rate of 2.84% to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. For expense purposes in 2020, the Company applied an expected weighted-average rate of return of 5.22% for the the Company will apply an expected Company’s U.S. pension plan assets. For expense purposes in 2021, weighted-average rate of return on plan assets of 4.69%. The following table presents the sensitivity of the Company's U.S. projected pension benefit obligation ("PBO") to the indicated increase/decrease in key assumptions: Assumption: Discount rate + / - Change at December 31,2020 Change PBO .25% $ 22.6 In the table above, a 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate will increase the PBO by $22.6 million and decrease income before income taxes through the recognition of actuarial losses of $22.6 million. A 25 basis point increase in the discount rate will decrease the PBO by $22.6 million and increase income before income taxes through the recognition of actuarial gains of $22.6 million. Defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. represent 64% of the Company's benefit obligation. 45 Other Postretirement Benefit Plans: The Company recognized net periodic benefit credit of $6.5 million during 2020 for other postretirement benefit plans, compared to net periodic benefit credit of $20.5 million during 2019. The Company recognized mark-to- market charges of $1.4 million during 2020 compared to mark-to-market gains of $18.0 million during 2019. Mark-to- market charges in 2020 were primarily due to the impact of an 81 basis point decrease in the discount rate used to measure the Company's defined benefit postretirement obligations, which decreased from 3.43% in 2019 to 2.62% in 2020. The decrease in the discount rate resulted in a $3.9 million loss. This mark-to-market charge was partially offset by mark-to-market gains of $2.0 million due to the impact of a reduction in the rate for Medicare Advantage plans, $0.4 million due to higher than expected returns on plans assets and $0.1 million due to changes in other actuarial assumptions. In addition to mark-to-market charges and gains, the Company recognized prior service credits of $9.8 million during 2020 compared to $5.4 million during 2019. During July 2019, the Company announced changes to the medical plan offerings for certain of its postretirement benefit plans, effective January 1, 2020, which will impact the benefits provided to certain retirees. This plan amendment resulted in a $92.8 million reduction in the postretirement benefit obligation and a corresponding pretax adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss. The pretax adjustment of $92.8 million began being amortized in the third quarter of 2019 and will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost (as a benefit) until 2031. In 2021, the Company expects net periodic benefit credit of approximately $8 million for other postretirement benefit plans, compared to net periodic benefit credit of $6.5 million in 2020. Net periodic benefit credit for 2021 does not include mark-to-market charges that will be recognized immediately through earnings in the fourth quarter of 2021, or on an interim basis if specific events trigger a remeasurement. Excluding the mark-to-market charges of $1.4 million recognized in 2020, the net periodic benefit credit was $7.9 million in 2020, which is relatively consistent with the outlook for 2021. In January 2020, the Company established a second VEBA trust for certain active employees’ medical benefits. The Company transferred $50 million from the existing VEBA trust to fund this new VEBA trust. The $50 million that was transferred was primarily classified as other current assets based on the portfolio of the assets in the trust. The Company utilized all of the assets of the trust in 2020 for the payment of certain active employees’ medical benefits. In January 2021, the Company transferred the remaining $11.1 million in the existing VEBA trust to the new VEBA trust. As a result, the Company expects to fund 2021 payments for other postretirement benefit plans, which are expected to be approximately $5 million, from the general funds of the Company. For expense purposes in 2020, the Company applied a discount rate of 3.43% to its other postretirement benefit plans. For expense purposes in 2021, the Company will apply a discount rate of 2.62% to its other postretirement benefit plans. For expense purposes in 2020, the Company applied an expected rate of return of 3.00% to the VEBA trust assets. The following table presents the sensitivity of the Company's accumulated other postretirement benefit obligation ("APBO") to the indicated increase/decrease in key assumptions: Assumption: Discount rate + / - Change at December 31, 2020 APBO Change .25% $ 1.3 increase the APBO by $1.3 million and In the table above, a 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate will decrease income before income taxes through the recognition of actuarial losses of $1.3 million. A 25 basis point increase in the discount rate will decrease the APBO by $1.3 million and increase income before income taxes through the recognition of actuarial gains of $1.3 million. 46 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 5.5% for 2021, declining gradually to 5.0% in 2023 and thereafter for medical and prescription drug benefits. For Medicare Advantage benefits, actual contract rates have been set for 2020 through 2022, and are assumed to increase by 7.3% for 2022, declining gradually to 5.0% in 2031 and thereafter. 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 2020 total service and interest cost components by $0.1 million and would have increased the postretirement benefit obligation by $1.8 million. A one percentage point decrease would provide corresponding reductions of $0.1 million and $1.6 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 clean-up, product liability, product warranty, litigation and accounts receivable reserves. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires management’s judgment with regards to estimating 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: 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. Net of related derivative activity, the Company recognized a foreign currency exchange loss resulting from transactions of $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and recognized a gain of $6.1 million and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a positive non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $97.3 million that increased shareholders’ equity, compared with a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $19.7 million that decreased shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2019. The foreign currency translation adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2020 were favorably impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies as of December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. 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 U.S. Quarterly Dividend: On February 12, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per common share. The quarterly dividend will be paid on March 4, 2021 to shareholders of record as of February 22, 2021. This will be the 395th consecutive quarterly dividend paid on the common shares of the Company.

Risk Factors on pages 9 through 17. (l) 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 SEC. 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. 48 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 Accounts Receivable Facility, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and short-term bank borrowings by the Company's international subsidiaries. If the market rates for short-term borrowings increased by one-percentage-point around the globe, the impact from our variable rate debt would be an increase in interest expense of $4.6 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 and year-end debt balances by category. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Change 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, as well as intercompany loans between Timken affiliates. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge a portion of these intercompany transactions. Additionally, hedges are used to cover third-party purchases of products and equipment. As of December 31, 2020, there were $173.2 million of hedges in place. A uniform 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would have resulted in a charge of $6.8 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 steel 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. 49 Item 8.

Investments in affiliated companies where the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control, and the activities of which it is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Revenue: A contract exists when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer of the Company are satisfied. Of the Company's revenue, approximately 85-90% is from short-term, fixed-price contracts and continues to be recognized as of a point in time when products are shipped from the Company's manufacturing facilities or at a later point in time when control of the products transfers to the customer. The Company recognizes approximately 10-15% of revenue over time for services and certain sales of customer-specific product as it satisfies the performance obligations because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer, supported as follows: • • • For certain service contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer occurs as the Company's service enhances assets that the customer owns and controls at all times and the Company is contractually entitled to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable margin. For U.S. government contracts, for convenience, and is required to pay the Company for costs incurred plus a reasonable margin and can take control of any work in process. For certain non-U.S. government contracts involving customer-specific products, the customer controls the work in process based on contractual termination clauses or restrictions on the Company's use of the product and the Company possesses a right to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable margin. is allowed to unilaterally terminate the contract the customer As a result of control transferring over time for these products and services, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company has elected to use the cost-to-cost input measure of progress for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of goods or services to the customer based on incurring costs on the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. The pricing and payment terms for non-U.S. government contracts are based on the Company's standard terms and conditions or the result of specific negotiations with each customer. The Company's standard terms and conditions require payment 45-75 days from the invoice date, but the timing of payment for specific negotiated terms may vary. The Company also has both prime and subcontracts in support of the provision of goods and services to the U.S. government. Certain of these contracts are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation ("FAR") and are priced based on a competitive market prices. Under the payment terms of certain of those U.S. government fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the Company performance-based payments, which are interim payments of up to 90% of the costs incurred to date based on quantifiable measures of performance or on the achievement of specified events or milestones. Because the customer retains a portion of the contract price until completion of such contracts, certain of these U.S. government fixed-price contracts result in revenue recognized in excess of billings, which is presented within "Unbilled Receivables" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The portion of the payments retained by the customer until final contract settlement is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. 54 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue- producing activities are excluded from revenue. As a practical expedient, the Company may exclude an assessment of whether promised goods or services are performance obligations, if such promised goods and services are immaterial to the customer contract taken as a whole, and combine these with other performance obligations. The Company has also elected not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of any significant financing component where the Company expects, at contract the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Finally, the Company's policy is to exclude performance obligations resulting from contracts with a duration of one year or less from its disclosures related to remaining performance obligations. inception, that the right The amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services is not generally subject to significant variations. However, the Company does offer certain customers rebates, prompt to return eligible products, and/or other forms of variable payment discounts, end-user discounts, consideration. The Company estimates this variable consideration using the expected value amount, which is based on historical experience. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company recognizes the cost of freight and shipping when control of the products or services has transferred to the customer as an expense in "Cost of products sold" on the Consolidated Statement of Income, because those are costs incurred to fulfill the promise recognized, not a separate performance obligation. To the extent certain freight and shipping fees are charged to customers, the Company recognizes the amounts charged to customers as revenues and the related costs as an expense in "Cost of products sold" when control of the related products or services has transferred to the customer. Contracts are occasionally modified to account for changes in contract specifications, requirements, and pricing. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new enforceable rights and obligations or changes existing ones. Substantially all of the Company's contract modifications are for goods or services that are distinct from the existing contract. Therefore, the effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the Company's measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is generally recognized on a prospective basis. Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash: Cash of $0.8 million and $6.7 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was restricted for contractually specified uses. The decrease was primarily due to the release of the Company's contractual cash hold-back for working capital adjustment as part of the BEKA acquisition. Accounts Receivable, Less Allowances: Accounts receivable, less allowances on the Consolidated Balance Sheet include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. 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 is 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. 55 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Unbilled Receivables: Unbilled receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheet primarily include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when the following conditions exist: (i) cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized; (ii) the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer; and (iii) the right to payment is primarily subject only to the passage of time. The amounts recorded for unbilled receivables do not exceed their net realizable value. Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with approximately 61% valued by the FIFO method and the remaining 39% valued by the LIFO method. The majority of the Company’s domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO method, while all of the Company’s international inventories are valued by the FIFO method. Investments: Short-term investments are investments with maturities between three months and one year and are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company held short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 with a fair value and cost basis of $37.6 million and $25.7 million, respectively, which were included in "Other current assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is valued at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The provision for depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives are approximately 30 years for buildings, 3 to 10 years for computer software and 3 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. Leases: The Company determines if any arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. For leases where the Company is the lessee, it recognizes lease assets and related lease liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease assets also consist of amounts for favorable or unfavorable lease terms related to acquisitions. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the accelerated interest method of recognition. A lease asset and lease liability are not recorded for leases with an initial term of less than 12 months or less and the lease expenses related to these leases is recognized as incurred over the lease term. 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 1 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 1st. Furthermore, goodwill and 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. 56 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Purchase accounting and business combinations: Assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as part of a business combination are recognized at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company considers inputs to value the assets and liabilities by taking into account competitive trends, market comparisons, independent appraisals, and historical data, among other factors, as supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions. The valuation inputs in these analyses are based on market participant assumptions. The Company may refine these estimates and record adjustments to an asset or liability with the offset to goodwill during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. the values of Product Warranties: The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products. The Company accrues liabilities for warranties generally based upon specific claims and in certain instances based on historical warranty claim experience in accordance with accounting rules relating to contingent liabilities. When the Company becomes 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 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 those 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: 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. Translation adjustments for assets and liabilities 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. Net of related derivative activity, the Company recognized a foreign currency exchange loss resulting from transactions of $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and recognized a gain of $6.1 million and a gain of $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits: The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately through net periodic benefit cost upon the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if specific events trigger a remeasurement. Actuarial gains and losses are excluded from segment results, while all other components of net periodic benefit cost will continue to be included within segment results. Stock-Based Compensation: The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the related vesting period of the awards based on the fair value on the grant date. 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. The Company recognizes forfeitures on stock-based awards as they occur. In addition, the Company’s share grants provide for the payment of dividends to employees and the Board of Directors upon vesting. These dividends are charged to retained earnings when paid. 57 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Earnings Per Share: Certain unvested restricted share grants 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 are 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 accumulated 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. Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Because actual results could differ from these estimates, the Company reviews and updates these estimates and assumptions regularly to reflect recent experience. Recent Accounting Pronouncements: New Accounting Guidance Adopted: In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," and was subsequently updated with ASU 2019-04 in April of 2019. These ASUs change how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance replaced the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit information and reasonable and supportable forecasts, losses should consider historical instruments with similar risk characteristics should be grouped including estimates of prepayments. Financial together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate, so its application requires significant judgment. ASU 2016-13 was effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020, and the impact of adoption was not material to the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2016-13. information, current 58 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued) New Accounting Guidance Issued and Not Yet Adopted: In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This guidance is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is available immediately and may be implemented in any period prior to the guidance expiration on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing which of its various contracts will require an update for a new reference rate, and will determine the timing for implementation of this guidance at the completion of that analysis. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (ASC 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This standard is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company has assessed the adoption of ASU 2019-12, and determined that the standard is not expected to materially impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Note 2 - Acquisitions The Company completed one acquisition in 2020. On November 30, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Aurora. With expected 2020 annual sales of approximately $30 million, Aurora serves a diverse range of industrial sectors, including aerospace and defense, racing, off-highway equipment and packing. Aurora is headquartered in Montgomery, Illinois. The total purchase price for this acquisition was $17.8 million, including $0.5 million of the purchase price that was held back for the settlement of net working capital, subject to a post- closing net working capital adjustment. Based on markets and customers served, results for Aurora are reported in both the Mobile Industries segment and the Process Industries segment. During 2019 the Company completed two acquisitions. On November 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of BEKA, a leading global supplier of automatic lubrication systems. BEKA serves a diverse range of industrial sectors, including wind, food and beverage, rail, on- and off-highway and other process industries. Headquartered in Pegnitz, Germany, BEKA has manufacturing and research and development facilities in Germany, and assembly facilities and sales offices around the world. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Diamond Chain, a leading supplier of high-performance roller chains for industrial markets. Diamond Chain serves a diverse range of market sectors, including industrial distribution, material handling, food and beverage, agriculture, construction and other process industries. Diamond Chain operates primarily in the U.S. and China. 59 Note 2 - Acquisitions (continued) The purchase price allocations at fair value, net of cash acquired, for 2020 and 2019 acquisitions as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are presented below: 2020 2019 Assets: Accounts receivable Inventories Other current assets Property, plant and equipment Operating lease assets Goodwill Other intangible assets Other non-current assets Total assets acquired Liabilities: Accounts payable, trade Salaries, wages and benefits Income taxes payable Other current liabilities Short-term debt Long-term debt Accrued pension cost Accrued postretirement liability Long-term operating lease liabilities Deferred taxes Other non-current liabilities Total liabilities assumed Noncontrolling interest acquired Net assets acquired Cash flow reconciling items: Working capital adjustment related to 2018 acquisitions paid in 2019 Working capital adjustment for 2019 acquisitions paid (recognized) in 2020 Indemnification settlement received Bargain purchase price gain Cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 2.7 $ 16.4 0.1 10.9 — — — — 30.1 $ 0.8 $ — — 0.9 — — — — — — — 1.7 $ — 28.4 $ — $ 6.7 — (11.1) 24.0 $ 26.1 59.4 5.1 57.4 5.1 52.6 84.3 0.9 290.9 10.6 6.8 2.1 7.1 0.8 17.2 0.8 0.1 4.5 2.9 1.1 54.0 1.8 235.1 2.9 (6.7) (4.8) — 226.5 In April 2020, the Company paid $6.7 million for a working capital adjustment to the purchase price for BEKA in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment, as well as other measurement period adjustments recorded in 2020, resulted in an $8.4 million increase to goodwill. As a result of applying the accounting rules on business combinations, the Company recognized a bargain purchase gain of $11.1 million on the acquisition of Aurora. The Company believes it was able to negotiate a bargain purchase price for the business due to some historic operational performance challenges, as well as the seller’s desire to exit the business in an expedited manner in an exclusive process with the Company. In January 2019, the Company paid a working capital adjustment of $2.9 million in connection with the Cone Drive acquisition, which was accrued and reflected in the purchase price in 2018. In May 2019, the Company received a $4.8 million payment from escrow related to an indemnification settlement for the Cone Drive acquisition, which is reflected as a purchase price adjustment. These adjustments, as well as other measurement period adjustments recorded in 2019, resulted in a $1.9 million increase to Goodwill. 60 Note 2 - Acquisitions (continued) The amounts for 2020 in the table above represent the preliminary purchase price allocations for Aurora. These purchase price allocations are based on preliminary information and are subject to change as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations is obtained. The purchase price allocation for Aurora is preliminary as a result of the proximity of the acquisition date to December 31, 2020, and as a result, no elements of the purchase price allocation have been finalized. During the measurement period for this acquisition, the Company will adjust assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values will be reflected as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date. As a result of recognizing the bargain purchase price gain, any change will be reflected as an adjustment to pretax income. No intangible assets were acquired in 2020.

Note 4 - Segment Information The Company operates under two reportable segments: (1) Mobile Industries and (2) Process Industries. 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. While the segments often operate using a shared infrastructure, each reportable segment is managed to address specific customer needs in these diverse market segments. Mobile Industries offers an extensive portfolio of bearings, seals, lubrication devices and systems, as well as power transmission components, engineered chain, augers, belts, couplings, clutches, brakes and related products and maintenance services, to OEMs and end users of: off-highway equipment for the agricultural, construction, mining, outdoor power equipment and powersports markets; on-highway vehicles including passenger cars, light trucks and medium- and heavy-duty trucks; rail cars and locomotives. Beyond service parts sold to OEMs, aftermarket sales and services to individual end users, equipment owners, operators and maintenance shops are handled directly or through the Company's extensive network of authorized automotive and heavy-truck distributors, and include hub units, specialty kits and more. Mobile Industries also provides power transmission systems and flight-critical components for civil and military aircraft, which include bearings, helicopter transmission systems, rotor-head assemblies, turbine engine components, gears and housings. Process Industries supplies industrial bearings and assemblies, power transmission components such as gears and gearboxes, linear motion products, couplings, seals, lubricants, chains, belts and related products and services to OEMs and end users in industries that place heavy demands on operating equipment they make or use. This includes: metals, mining, cement and aggregate production; wind energy and solar; coal power generation and oil and gas; pulp and paper in applications including printing presses; packaging and automation; and cranes, hoists, drawbridges, gear drives, conveyors, health and critical motion control equipment, marine equipment and food processing equipment. This segment also supports aftermarket sales and service needs through its global network of authorized industrial distributors and through the provision of services directly to end users. In addition, the Company’s industrial services group offers end users a broad portfolio of maintenance support and capabilities that include repair and service for bearings and gearboxes as well as electric motor rewind, repair and services. 63 Note 4 - Segment Information (continued) 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 EBITDA. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. 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. Timken’s non-U.S. operations are subject to normal international business risks not generally applicable to a domestic business. These risks include currency fluctuation, changes in tariff restrictions, difficulties in establishing licensing requirements, and maintaining relationships with local distributors and dealers, difficulties in staffing and managing geographically diverse operations and restrictive regulations by foreign governments, including price and exchange controls, compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations, including unexpected changes in taxation and environmental regulatory requirements, and disadvantages of competing against companies from countries that are not subject to U.S. laws and regulations, including the FCPA. import and export Business Segment Information: The following tables provide segment financial information and a reconciliation of segment results to consolidated results: Net sales to external customers: Mobile Industries Process Industries Segment EBITDA: Mobile Industries Process Industries Total EBITDA, for reportable segments $ $ $ $ 2020 2019 2018 1,671.6 $ 1,893.9 $ 1,841.6 1,896.0 3,513.2 $ 3,789.9 $ 1,903.7 1,677.1 3,580.8 232.5 $ 284.9 $ 442.9 466.6 675.4 $ 751.5 $ (40.7) (18.5) 11.1 (55.4) 4.1 — 272.2 405.7 677.9 (61.4) (12.8) — Corporate EBITDA Corporate pension and other postretirement benefit related (expense) income (1) Acquisition-related gain (2) Depreciation and amortization Interest expense, net Income before income taxes (146.0) (49.6) 408.1 (1) Corporate pension and other postretirement benefit related (expense) income represents curtailments, professional fees associated with pension de-risking and actuarial (losses) and gains that resulted from the remeasurement of pension and other postretirement plan assets and obligations as a result of changes in assumptions.

As the Company has elected to treat certain foreign subsidiaries as branches for U.S. income tax purposes, pretax income attributable to the United States shown below may differ from the pretax income reported in the Company’s annual U.S. federal income tax return. Income before income taxes: United States Non-United States Income before income taxes The provision for income taxes consisted of the following: Current: Federal State and local Foreign Deferred: Federal State and local Foreign United States and foreign tax provision on income 2020 2019 2018 144.1 $ 252.2 396.3 $ 190.7 $ 281.7 472.4 $ 202.0 206.1 408.1 2020 2019 2018 40.3 $ 7.9 78.9 127.1 $ (19.5) $ (1.3) (2.4) (23.2) $ 103.9 $ 20.8 $ 4.8 81.0 106.6 $ 39.8 $ 6.5 (55.2) (8.9) $ 97.7 $ 46.1 9.9 68.0 124.0 (19.9) (0.7) (0.8) (21.4) 102.6 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ The Company made net income tax payments of $119.3 million, $118.6 million and $121.3 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table is the reconciliation between the provision for income taxes and the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to income before taxes: Income tax at the U.S. federal statutory rate Adjustments: State and local income taxes, net of federal tax benefit Tax on foreign remittances and U.S. tax on foreign income Tax expense related to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries Foreign losses without current tax benefits Foreign earnings taxed at different rates including tax holidays U.S. foreign tax credit Accruals and settlements related to tax audits Valuation allowance changes Deferred taxes related to branch operations U.S. Tax Reform Other tax rate change Other items, net Provision for income taxes Effective income tax rate $ 66 2020 2019 2018 $ 83.2 $ 99.2 $ 85.7 4.8 22.5 0.1 2.5 11.1 (13.8) 3.4 (0.7) — — 0.8 (10.0) 103.9 26.2 % $ 7.4 26.4 6.0 3.2 12.6 (18.3) 11.1 (44.5) 5.3 — (5.0) (5.7) 97.7 20.7 % $ 6.8 21.1 — 3.7 11.1 (21.2) (3.8) — — (10.6) (2.4) 12.2 102.6 25.1 % Note 5 - Income Taxes (continued) The Company released $44.5 million of foreign valuation allowances for the year ended December 31, 2019, $40.7 million of which relates to the valuation allowance that was recorded against German indefinite-lived loss carryforwards and pension deferred tax assets. Once established, the valuation allowance is released when, based on the weight of all available evidence, management concludes that related deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. As a result of the execution of a tax planning strategy in the fourth quarter of 2019, management reached this conclusion and accordingly released the valuation allowance. Because the local German entity is treated as a branch under U.S. tax law, the valuation allowance release was partially offset by income tax expense of $5.3 million related to a U.S. deferred tax liability. U.S. Tax Reform reduced the U.S. federal statutory rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018. U.S. Tax Reform also required companies to pay a one-time net charge related to the taxation of unremitted foreign earnings and to remeasure its U.S. deferred tax balances to the lower corporate income tax rate for the 2017 tax year. Additionally, U.S. Tax Reform created taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings known as the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) tax beginning with tax year 2018. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost in the year the tax is incurred. The accounting for the tax effects of U.S. Tax Reform was completed as of December 31, 2018 under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded $8.2 million of tax benefit for changes to the provisional estimate for the remeasurement of net U.S. deferred tax balances as a result of adjustments to finalize purchase accounting for prior-year acquisitions, the remeasurement of anticipatory tax credits for foreign branches and changes to U.S. deferred tax assets included in the 2017 U.S. federal income tax return. Over the same period, the Company recorded $2.4 million of tax benefit for changes in the provisional estimate of the 2017 one-time net charge related to the taxation of unremitted foreign earnings as a result of additional federal and state regulatory guidance issued and the filing of the Company's 2017 U.S. federal income tax return. There are no changes to the Company’s assertion about its permanent reinvestment in undistributed foreign earnings. The Company recorded $0.1 million and $6.0 million of income tax expense related to foreign withholding taxes on planned one-time distribution for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. No additional deferred taxes have been recorded for any other outside basis differences as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. The amounts of undistributed foreign earnings were $810.3 million and $785.3 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. It is not practicable to calculate the additional taxes that might be payable on such unremitted earnings due to the variety of circumstances and tax laws applicable at the time of distribution. The effect of temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows: Deferred tax assets: Accrued postretirement benefits cost Accrued pension cost Other employee benefit accruals Tax loss and credit carryforwards Other, net Valuation allowances Deferred tax liabilities - principally depreciation and amortization Net deferred tax (liabilities) assets 2020 2019 $ $ $ 15.4 $ 57.4 11.0 90.2 46.7 (36.7) 184.0 $ (255.7) (71.7) $ 0.1 55.1 10.9 86.0 46.9 (33.7) 165.3 (261.6) (96.3) 67 Note 5 - Income Taxes (continued) The Company has U.S. federal and state tax credit and loss carryforwards with tax benefits totaling $6.7 million, portions of which will expire in 2021 and continue until 2040. In addition, the Company has loss carryforwards in various non-U.S. jurisdictions with tax benefits totaling $83.5 million, portions of which will expire in 2021 while others will be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has provided valuation allowances of $35.9 million against certain of these carryforwards and $0.8 million against other deferred tax assets. A 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 for which deferred taxes have been recorded. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $45.6 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, $39.2 million of which would favorably impact the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future period if such benefits were recognized. As of December 31, 2020, the amount of unrecognized tax positions could decrease by approximately $8.4 million during the next 12 months. The potential decrease would be primarily driven by settlements with tax authorities and the expiration of various applicable statutes of limitation. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had accrued $8.6 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. is reasonably possible that the Company believes it As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $38.9 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, $36.1 million of which would favorably impact the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future period if such benefits were recognized. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had accrued $5.0 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. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $26.0 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would favorably impact the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future period if such benefits were recognized. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued $2.5 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.

These increases were partially offset by releases of accrual for lapses in statutes of limitations. 68 Note 5 - Income Taxes (continued) During 2019, gross unrecognized tax benefits increased primarily for additional accruals for uncertain tax positions related to U.S. Tax Reform along with prior year tax matters in multiple jurisdictions related to acquisitions. These increases were partially offset by settlements with the tax authorities for prior year tax matters related to the Company’s foreign operations. During 2018, gross unrecognized tax benefits increased primarily for prior year tax matters in multiple jurisdictions related to acquisitions. These increases were partially offset by settlements with the tax authorities for prior year tax matters related to the Company’s international operations. As of December 31, 2020 the Company is subject to examination by the IRS for tax years 2017 to the present. The Company also is subject to tax examination in various U.S. state and local tax jurisdictions for tax years 2013 to the present, as well as various foreign tax jurisdictions, including Mexico, China, Poland, France, Germany and India for tax years as early as 1999 to the present. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of other non-current liabilities and as a reduction to deferred income taxes. 69 Note 6 - Earnings Per Share The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the numerator and the denominator of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018: Numerator: Net income attributable to The Timken Company Less: undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested stock Net income available to common shareholders for basic and diluted earnings per share Denominator: Weighted average number of shares outstanding - basic Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options and awards - based on the treasury stock method Weighted average number of shares outstanding, assuming dilution of stock options and awards Basic earnings per share Diluted earnings per share 2020 2019 2018 284.5 $ 362.1 $ — — 302.8 — 284.5 $ 362.1 $ 302.8 75,354,280 75,758,123 77,119,602 1,047,086 1,138,442 1,217,879 76,401,366 76,896,565 78,337,481 3.78 $ 3.72 $ 4.78 $ 4.71 $ 3.93 3.86 $ $ $ $ The exercise prices for certain stock options that the Company has awarded exceed the average market price of the Company’s common shares. Such stock options are antidilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The antidilutive stock options outstanding were 676,627, 1,016,435 and 1,139,146 during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

If all inventories had been valued at FIFO, inventories would have been $172.1 million and $168.9 million greater at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recognized an increase in its LIFO reserve of $3.2 million during 2020, compared to a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $5.0 million during 2019. Inventory and the allowance for surplus and obsolete inventory increased from 2019 primarily as a result of recent acquisitions. 70 Note 8 - Property, Plant and Equipment The components of property, plant and equipment, net at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: Land and buildings Machinery and equipment Subtotal Less: accumulated depreciation Property, Plant and Equipment, net 2020 2019 535.3 $ 2,206.2 2,741.5 $ (1,705.9) 1,035.6 $ 510.9 2,093.3 2,604.2 (1,615.0) 989.2 $ $ $ Total depreciation expense was $110.9 million, $103.3 million and $99.2 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Note 9 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill: The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, performing its annual impairment test as of October 1st. 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. The Mobile Industries segment has four reporting units and the Process Industries segment has two reporting units. Changes in the carrying value of goodwill were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2020: Beginning Balance Acquisitions Foreign currency translation adjustments Ending Balance Mobile Industries Process Industries Total $ $ 361.3 $ 632.4 $ 993.7 5.6 17.7 2.8 27.8 8.4 45.5 384.6 $ 663.0 $ 1,047.6 The $8.4 million addition from acquisitions was the result of measurement period adjustments related to the 2019 acquisitions of BEKA and Diamond Chain bringing total goodwill these acquisitions.

The Company currently intends to renew or replace the Accounts Receivable Facility prior it its maturity. Under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Facility, the Company sells, on an ongoing basis, certain domestic trade receivables to Timken Receivables Corporation, a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary that, in turn, uses the trade receivables to secure borrowings that are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial paper in the short-term market. Borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility are limited to certain borrowing base limitations. These limitations reduced the availability of the Accounts Receivable Facility to $83.9 million at December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, there were outstanding borrowings of $58.0 million under the Accounts Receivable Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $25.9 million. All of the outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility were classified as short-term due to its upcoming maturity in November of 2021. The cost of this facility, which is the prevailing commercial paper rate plus facility fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The interest rate was 1.0%, 2.8% and 3.2% at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries provide for short-term borrowings up to $277.4 million in the aggregate. Most of these lines of credit are uncommitted. At December 31, 2020, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had borrowings outstanding of $61.8 million and guarantees of $0.7 million, which reduced the aggregate availability under these facilities to $214.9 million. The weighted-average interest rate on these lines of credit during the year were 0.6%, 0.5% and 0.6% in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in the weighted-average interest rate was primarily due to an increase in borrowings in Europe with higher rates. The weighted-average interest rate on lines of credit outstanding at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 0.8% and 1.0%, respectively. 74 Note 11 - Financing Arrangements (continued) Long-term debt as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows: Variable-rate Senior Credit Facility with an average interest rate on U.S. Dollar of 2.01% and Euro of 1.48% at December 31, 2020 and 2.85% and 1.00%, respectively, at December 31, 2019 Variable-rate Euro Term Loan(1), matured on September 18, 2020, with an interest rate of 1.13% at December 31, 2019. Variable-rate Accounts Receivable Facility, with an interest rate of 2.77% at December 31, 2019. Variable-rate Term Loan(1), maturing on September 11, 2023, with an interest rate of 1.63% at December 31, 2020 and of 2.92% at December 31, 2019. Fixed-rate Senior Unsecured Notes(1), maturing on September 1, 2024, with an interest rate of 3.875% Fixed-rate Euro Senior Unsecured Notes(1), maturing on September 7, 2027, with an interest rate of 2.02% Fixed-rate Senior Unsecured Notes(1), maturing on December 15, 2028, with an interest rate of 4.50% Fixed-rate Medium-Term Notes, Series A(1), maturing at various dates through May 2028, with interest rates ranging from 6.74% to 7.76% Fixed-rate Bank Loan, maturing on June 30, 2033, with an interest rate of 2.15% Other Total debt Less current maturities Long-term debt (1) Net of discount and fees 2020 2019 $ 9.7 $ 132.7 — — 54.4 98.2 329.6 338.5 349.0 348.5 182.9 167.7 396.5 396.1 154.7 18.8 3.6 154.6 18.0 4.1 $ $ 1,444.8 $ 1,712.8 10.9 64.7 1,433.9 $ 1,648.1 The Company entered into the Senior Credit Facility on June 25, 2019. The Senior Credit Facility amends and restates the Company's previous credit agreement, dated as of June 19, 2015. The Senior Credit Facility is a $650.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which matures on June 25, 2024. At December 31, 2020, the Company had $9.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $640.3 million. The Senior Credit Facility has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. On May 27, 2020, the Senior Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, effectively increase the limit with respect to the consolidated leverage ratio. As amended, the consolidated leverage ratio is calculated using a net debt construct, netting unrestricted cash in excess of $25 million, instead of total debt. This change to the consolidated leverage ratio calculation is effective through June 30, 2021, after which the calculation of the consolidated leverage ratio under the Senior Credit Facility will revert back to using a total debt construct. On November 1, 2019, the Company assumed certain fixed-rate debt of €16 million associated with the BEKA acquisition that matures on June 30, 2033. On September 11, 2018, the Company entered into the $350 million 2023 Term Loan. Proceeds from the 2023 Term Loan were used to fund the acquisitions of Cone Drive and Rollon, which closed on September 1, 2018 and September 18, 2018, respectively. On July 12, 2019, the Company amended the 2023 Term Loan agreement to, among other things, align covenants and other terms with the Senior Credit Facility. On May 27, 2020, the 2023 Term Loan agreement was further amended to align the calculation of the consolidated leverage ratio and other terms with the Senior Credit Facility. On September 18, 2017, the Company entered into the 2020 Term Loan, that matured on September 18, 2020. Upon the final payment during the third quarter of 2020, the Company fully repaid the 2020 Term Loan. At December 31, 2020, the Company was in full compliance with all applicable covenants on its outstanding debt. 75 Note 11 - Financing Arrangements (continued) The maturities of December 31, 2020 are as follows: long-term debt (including $3.7 million of finance leases) for the five years subsequent to Year 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter $ 10.9 10.2 10.2 304.5 360.0 749.0 Interest paid was $65.2 million in 2020, $67.4 million in 2019 and $42.5 million in 2018. This differs from interest expense due to the timing of payments, the amortization of deferred financing fees and interest capitalized of $1.5 million in 2020, $1.1 million in 2019 and $0.4 million in 2018. Note 12 - Contingencies The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been identified as potentially responsible parties for investigation and remediation under the CERCLA, known as the Superfund, or similar state laws with respect to certain sites. Claims for investigation and remediation have been asserted against numerous other entities, which are believed to be financially solvent and are expected to fulfill their proportionate share of the obligation. the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) sent Lovejoy, On December 28, 2004, Inc. ("Lovejoy") a Special Notice Letter that identified Lovejoy as a potentially responsible party, together with at least 14 other companies, at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site in Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the “Site”). The Company acquired Lovejoy in 2016. Lovejoy’s Downers Grove property is situated within the Ellsworth Industrial Complex. The USEPA and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”) allege there have been one or more releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, allegedly including, but not limited to, a release or threatened release on or from Lovejoy's property, at the Site. The relief sought by the USEPA and IEPA includes further investigation and potential remediation of the Site and reimbursement of response costs. Lovejoy’s allocated share of past and future costs related to the Site, including for investigation and/or remediation, could be significant. All previously pending property damage and personal injury lawsuits against Lovejoy related to the Site have been settled or dismissed. The Company had total environmental accruals of $5.3 million and $5.2 million for various known environmental matters that are probable and reasonably estimable as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which includes the Lovejoy matter discussed above. These accruals were recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties. Product Warranties: In addition to the contingencies above, the Company provides limited warranties on certain products. The product warranty liability included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for 2020 and 2019 was $9.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The increase in the liability during 2020 primarily relates to accruals that are based on the best estimate of costs for future claims based on products sold that are still under warranty. The estimate of these accruals is based on historical claims, expected trends and course of dealing experience that continue to mature. Any significant change to these assumptions may be material to the results of operations in any particular period in which that change occurs. 76 Note 13 - Stock Compensation Under its long-term incentive plan, the Company’s common shares have been made available for 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. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $3.6 million ($2.7 million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share), $4.9 million ($3.7 million after tax or $0.05 per diluted share) and $4.8 million ($3.7 million after tax or $0.05 per diluted share), respectively, for stock option awards. Beginning in 2020, the Company discontinued the use of nonqualified stock options. As such, there were no stock option awards granted in 2020. The fair value of stock option awards granted in 2019 and 2018 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 $ 2019 9.58 2.46% 2.52% 28.29% 5 2018 10.29 $ 2.62% 2.30% 27.78% 5 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. A summary of stock option award activity for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented below: Number of Shares Weighted- average Exercise Price Weighted- average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value (millions) Outstanding - beginning of year Exercised Canceled of expired Outstanding - end of year Options expected to vest Options exercisable 2,913,272 $ (956,258) (52,265) 1,904,749 $ 1,904,749 1,259,075 40.10 39.07 43.27 40.53 40.53 38.94 7 years $ 7 years 6 years 70.1 70.1 48.4 The total intrinsic value of stock option awards exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $20.7 million, $13.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock option awards were $37.4 million, $27.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively. In addition to stock option awards, the Company has granted performance-based restricted stock units, time-based restricted stock units and deferred shares under its long-term incentive plan. A summary of those awards granted in 2020 is presented below: Performance-based restricted stock units Time-based restricted stock units Deferred shares Expected to be Settled in Equity Expected to be Settled in Cash Total Awards Granted 442,371 204,550 5,000 11,251 4,480 — 453,622 209,030 5,000 77 Note 13 - Stock Compensation (continued) Performance-based restricted stock units are calculated and awarded based on the achievement of specified performance objectives and cliff vest three years from the date of grant. Time-based restricted stock units generally vest in 25% increments annually beginning on the first anniversary of the grant. Deferred shares generally cliff vest five years from the date of grant. For time-based restricted stock units that are expected to settle in cash, the Company had $1.0 million and $1.1 million accrued in salaries, wages and benefits as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A summary of stock award activity, including performance-based restricted stock units, time-based restricted stock units and deferred shares that will settle in common shares for the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows: Outstanding - beginning of year Granted - new awards Vested Canceled or expired Outstanding - end of year Number of Shares Weighted-average Grant Date Fair Value 43.13 50.05 43.76 47.97 1,106,386 $ 651,921 (557,590) (75,245) 1,125,472 $ 46.50 As of December 31, 2020, a total of 1,125,472 stock awards have been awarded that have not yet vested. The Company distributed shares totaling 557,590 in 2020, 539,396 in 2019 and 290,287 in 2018 due to the vesting of stock awards. The grant date fair value of these vested shares was $24.4 million, $17.3 million and $11.8 million, respectively. The Company recognized compensation expense of $19.6 million, $22.3 million and $27.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, relating to performance-based restricted stock units, time-based restricted stock units, deferred shares and restricted shares. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of $22.5 million related to stock options and stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a total weighted-average period of two years. There were 7.8 million shares available for future grants for all plans at December 31, 2020. 78 Note 14 - Impairment and Restructuring Charges Impairment and restructuring charges by segment were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2020: Impairment charges Severance expense and related benefit costs Exit costs Total Year ended December 31, 2019: Impairment charges Severance expense and related benefit costs Exit costs Total Year ended December 31, 2018: Impairment charges Severance expense and related benefit costs Exit costs Total Mobile Industries Process Industries Unallocated Corporate Total 0.2 $ 8.2 0.6 9.0 $ 0.2 $ 11.0 0.6 11.8 $ — $ 0.4 — 0.4 $ 0.4 19.6 1.2 21.2 Mobile Industries Process Industries Unallocated Corporate Total 1.8 $ 1.6 0.2 3.6 $ 0.8 $ 0.9 1.0 2.7 $ — $ 0.5 — 0.5 $ Mobile Industries Process Industries Unallocated Corporate Total — $ 1.1 0.3 1.4 $ 1.3 $ 0.3 0.3 1.9 $ — $ 1.6 — 1.6 $ 2.6 3.0 1.2 6.8 1.3 3.0 0.6 4.9 $ $ $ $ $ $ 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. COVID-19 Pandemic Cost Reduction Initiatives: During 2020, the Company recorded $12.0 million in severance and related benefit costs to eliminate approximately 200 salaried positions to align current employment levels with customer demand. Of the $12.0 million charge, $5.8 million related to the Mobile Industries segment, $5.8 million related to the Process Industries segment and $0.4 million related to Unallocated Corporate. Mobile Industries: On October 16, 2019, the Company announced the reorganization of its bearing plant in Gaffney, South Carolina. The Company transferred its high-volume bearing production and roller production to other Timken manufacturing facilities in the U.S. The transfer of these operations was substantially completed by the end of the third quarter of 2020 and is expected to affect approximately 150 employees. The Company expected to incur approximately $8 million to $10 million of pretax costs in total related to this reorganization. During 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized severance and related benefits of $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and exit costs of $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to this reorganization. The Company has incurred cumulative pretax costs related to this reorganization of $7.5 million as of December 31, 2020, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold. 79 Note 14 - Impairment and Restructuring Charges (continued) Process Industries: On February 4, 2020, the Company announced the closure of its chain plant in Indianapolis, Indiana. This plant was part of the Diamond Chain acquisition completed on April 1, 2019. The Company will be transferring the manufacturing of its Diamond Chain product line to its chain facility in Fulton, Illinois. The chain plant is expected to close by the end of the fourth quarter of 2021 and is expected to affect approximately 240 employees. The Company expects to hire approximately 130 full-time positions in Fulton, Illinois and expects to incur approximately $10 million to $12 million of expenses related to this closure. During 2020, the Company recorded severance and related benefit costs of $3.1 million related to this closure. The Company has incurred cumulative pretax costs related to this closure of $6.0 million as of December 31, 2020, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold.

These plans generally are noncontributory. Pension benefits earned generally are based on years of service and compensation during active employment. The cash contributions and payments for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans were $17.9 million, $35.4 million and $11.3 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 contributions and payments include a $24 million payout of deferred compensation to a former executive officer of the Company. 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 cost Recognition of net actuarial (gains) losses Curtailment losses (gains) Net periodic benefit cost Assumptions U.S. Plans: Discount rate Future compensation assumption Expected long-term return on plan assets International Plans: Discount rate Future compensation assumption Expected long-term return on plan assets U.S. Plans 2019 2018 2020 International Plans 2019 2018 2020 $ 10.7 $ 10.7 $ 12.6 $ 1.8 $ 1.5 $ 21.0 (25.3) 1.6 (3.9) 0.9 23.5 (25.8) 1.6 (3.5) — 24.0 (29.3) 1.7 30.0 (10.2) 5.5 (8.7) 0.2 20.1 — 7.3 (10.2) 0.2 17.4 — $ 5.0 $ 6.5 $ 28.8 $ 18.9 $ 16.2 $ 1.7 7.2 (11.6) 0.1 8.8 — 6.2 2020 2019 2018 3.04% to 3.55% 3.67% to 4.43% 3.75% to 3.94% 2.50 % 2.50 % 2.50 % 4.50% to 6.25% 5.35% to 6.25% 5.75% to 6.50% 0.75% to 9.00% 1.50% to 11.00% 1.25% to 9.00% 2.00% to 8.20% 2.00% to 8.23% 2.00% to 8.00% 1.75% to 9.00% 2.50% to 9.00% 2.50% to 9.00% The following table summarizes assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plans at December 31: Assumptions U.S. Plans: Discount rate Future compensation assumption International Plans: Discount rate Future compensation assumption 2020 2019 2.71% to 2.91% 3.04% to 3.55% 2.50 % 2.50 % 0.25% to 7.75% 0.75 % 1.90% to 8.18% 2.00% to 8.20% 81 Note 15 - Retirement Benefit Plans (continued) The Company recognized actuarial losses of $16.2 million during 2020 primarily due to the impact of a net reduction in the discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligations of $88.0 million and the impact of experience losses of $16.9 million, partially offset by higher than expected returns on plan assets of $84.3 million and other changes in valuation assumptions of $4.4 million. The impact of the net reduction in the discount rate used to measure the Company's defined benefit pension obligations was primarily driven by 66 basis point reduction in the weighted-average discount rate used to measure its U.S. plan obligations, which decreased from 3.50% in 2019 to 2.84% in 2020. The Company recognized actuarial losses of $13.9 million during 2019 primarily due to the impact of a net reduction in the discount rate used to measure its defined benefit pension obligations of $100.9 million and the impact of experience losses and other changes in valuation assumptions of $3.1 million, partially offset by higher than expected returns on plan assets of $90.1 million. The impact of the net reduction in the discount rate used to measure the Company's defined benefit pension obligations was primarily driven by a 86 basis point reduction in the weighted-average discount rate used to measure its U.S. plan obligations, which decreased from 4.36% in 2018 to 3.50% in 2019. The Company recognized actuarial losses of $38.8 million during 2018 primarily due to lower than expected returns on plan assets of $83.4 million driven by negative returns on fixed income investments, which were offset by the increase in discount rates used to measure its defined benefit pension obligations of $62.4 million. The impact of experience losses and other changes in valuation assumptions resulted in losses of approximately $17.8 million. The discount rate used to measure the U.S. plan obligations increased by 56 basis points from 3.80% during 2017 compared to 4.36% in 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved the freezing of the benefits for two of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans, effective December 31, 2022. In conjunction with this action, the Company recognized a curtailment gain of $10.2 million in 2018. For expense purposes in 2020, the Company applied a weighted-average discount rate of 3.5% to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. For expense purposes in 2021, the Company will apply a weighted-average discount rate of 2.84% to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. For expense purposes in 2020, the Company applied a weighted-average expected rate of return of 5.22% for the Company’s U.S. pension plan assets. For expense purposes in 2021, the Company will apply a weighted-average expected rate of return on plan assets of 4.69%. 82 Note 15 - Retirement Benefit Plans (continued) The following tables set forth the change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets, funded status and amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2020 and 2019: Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year Service cost Interest cost Plan amendments Actuarial losses International plan exchange rate change Curtailments Benefits paid Acquisitions Benefit obligation at end of year Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year Actual return on plan assets Company contributions / payments International plan exchange rate change Benefits paid Fair value of plan assets at end of year Funded status at end of year Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets: Non-current assets Current liabilities Non-current liabilities Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss: Net prior service cost Accumulated other comprehensive loss Changes in prior service cost recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss: Accumulated other comprehensive loss at beginning of year Prior service cost Recognized prior service cost Loss recognized due to curtailment Foreign currency impact U.S. Plans International Plans 2020 2019 2020 2019 $ 634.7 $ 586.6 $ 328.8 $ 300.3 10.7 21.0 0.1 56.6 — 0.3 10.7 23.5 — 74.9 — — 1.8 5.5 — 43.9 14.1 — (60.3) (61.0) (14.4) — — — 1.5 7.3 — 29.1 7.6 — (17.4) 0.4 $ 663.1 $ 634.7 $ 379.7 $ 328.8 U.S. Plans International Plans 2020 2019 2020 2019 $ 520.2 $ 448.3 $ 274.7 $ 85.8 7.6 — (60.3) 553.3 104.2 28.7 — (61.0) 520.2 32.5 10.3 9.7 (14.4) 312.8 (109.8) $ (114.5) $ (66.9) $ 1.8 $ — $ 0.2 $ (14.2) (97.4) (5.4) (109.1) (1.5) (65.6) (109.8) $ (114.5) $ (66.9) $ 2.7 $ 2.7 $ 4.8 $ 4.8 $ 3.9 $ 3.9 $ 3.9 3.9 4.8 $ 6.4 $ 3.9 $ 0.1 (1.6) (0.6) — — (1.6) — — — (0.2) — 0.2 254.6 21.9 6.7 8.9 (17.4) 274.7 (54.1) 3.4 (1.5) (56.0) (54.1) 4.0 — (0.2) — 0.1 3.9 $ $ $ $ $ $ Total recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31 $ 2.7 $ 4.8 $ 3.9 $ 83 Note 15 - Retirement Benefit Plans (continued) 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. Defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. represent 64% of the benefit obligation and 64% of the fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2020. Certain of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans were overfunded as of December 31, 2020. As a result, $2.0 million and $3.4 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are included in non-current pension assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion of accrued pension benefits, which was included in salaries, wages and benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $15.7 million and $6.9 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the current portion of accrued pension benefits relates to the expected 2021 deferred compensation payment to a former executive officer of the Company. In 2020, the current portion of accrued pension benefits 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, 2020 exceeded the market value of plan assets for several of the Company’s pension plans. For these plans, the projected benefit obligation was $521.2 million, the accumulated benefit obligation was $515.9 million and the fair value of plan assets was $343.4 million at December 31, 2020. The total accumulated benefit obligation for all plans was $1,026.3 million and $942.0 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Investment performance increased the value of the Company’s pension assets by 16.5% in 2020. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s defined benefit pension plans did not directly hold any of the Company’s common shares. Plan Assets: The Company’s target allocation for pension plan assets, as well as the actual pension plan asset allocations as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, was as follows: Asset Category Equity securities Fixed income securities Other investments Total Current Target Allocation 18% to 70% to 24% 82% 2% to 4% Percentage of Pension Plan Assets at December 31, 2019 2020 22% 75% 3% 100% 21% 74% 5% 100% 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, and are reviewed regularly by management. 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. 84 Note 15 - Retirement Benefit Plans (continued) 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 - Level 2 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 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: Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Government and agency securities Corporate bonds - investment grade Equity securities - U.S. companies Common collective funds - fixed income Mutual funds - fixed income Mutual funds - international equity Mutual funds - domestic equity Mutual funds - other assets Investments measured at net asset value: Cash and cash equivalents Equity securities - international companies Common collective funds - domestic equities Common collective funds - international equities Common collective funds - fixed income Common collective funds - diversified growth Limited partnerships Real estate partnerships Other liability-driven investments Other assets Total Assets December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $ 37.1 $ — $ — $ 37.1 $ 17.1 $ — $ — $ 17.1 45.1 — — 44.5 55.4 60.4 — — 3.0 99.5 — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 48.1 99.5 — 44.5 55.4 60.4 — — 35.8 — 0.1 42.0 66.9 36.0 3.2 1.4 3.0 79.5 — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 38.8 79.5 0.1 42.0 66.9 36.0 3.2 1.4 $ 242.5 $ 102.5 $ — $ 345.0 $ 202.5 $ 82.5 $ — $ 285.0 $ — 0.3 63.2 42.6 203.8 20.1 13.2 7.7 144.4 25.8 $ 0.2 1.0 76.3 31.9 202.5 17.9 18.7 11.2 128.2 22.0 $ 866.1 $ 794.9 International $231.8 million as of December 31, 2019, respectively. investments measured at net asset value totaled $265.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and 85 Note 15 - 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. Mutual funds classified as Level 1 assets include investments in fixed income and international equities. These investments are comprised of securities listed on exchange, market, or automated quotation systems, for which active, quoted prices are available. Mutual funds are valued based on a net asset value per share for shares held at year end, as determined by the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded, or a pricing vendor or the fund family if an active market is not available. 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. invest primarily in private equity, venture capital and Limited partnerships include investments in funds that 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. 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. Other liability-driven investments mainly include investments in index-linked open-end swap funds. These funds invest in cash held deposits that reflect the index-linked deferred annuity with payment terms of specific years linked to UK inflation measures. The underlying assets in this investment are valued daily. Common collective funds - diversified growth investments are pooled funds that invest in a multiple underlying asset classes, such as equities, fixed income, commodities, alternative investments, and cash in an effort to achieve returns on investment through capital appreciation and income. The underlying assets in this investment are valued daily. Cash Flows: Employer Contributions to Defined Benefit Plans 2019 2020 2021 (estimated) $ Estimated future benefit payments, including estimated lump sum distributions, are expected to be as follows: Benefit Payments 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026-2030 $ 35.4 17.9 16.0 98 74 72 64 62 270 86 Note 15 - Retirement Benefit Plans (continued) 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 made contributions to its defined contribution plans of $27.1 million, $27.9 million and $23.7 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Effective January 1, 2019, the primary U.S. Company sponsored defined contribution plan no longer allows contributions to be made to the Company stock fund to align with industry trends to remove investments in company stock as an option in a company sponsored defined contribution plan. All participants in this plan are required to transfer remaining funds in the Company stock fund to other fund options by December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2020, the plans held 1,095,124 of the Company’s common shares with a fair value of $84.7 million. The Company paid dividends totaling $1.5 million, $2.3 million and $2.9 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, to plans to be disbursed to participant accounts holding the Company’s common shares. 87 Note 16 - Other 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 (credit) cost: Service cost Interest cost Expected return on plan assets Amortization of prior service credit Recognition of net actuarial losses (gains) Net periodic benefit (credit) cost Assumptions: Discount rate Rate of return 2020 2019 2018 $ $ 0.2 $ 2.1 (0.4) (9.8) 1.4 (6.5) $ 0.2 $ 5.9 (3.2) (5.4) (18.0) (20.5) $ 0.2 7.6 (3.7) (1.7) (16.7) (14.3) 2020 2019 2018 3.43 % 3.48% to 4.30% 3.00 % 4.85 % 3.57 % 4.50 % The following table summarizes assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation for the other postretirement benefit plans at December 31: Assumptions: Discount rate 2020 2019 2.62 % 3.43 % The Company recognized actuarial losses of $1.4 million during 2020 primarily due to the impact of an 81 basis point decrease in the discount rate used to measure the Company's defined benefit postretirement obligations, which decreased from 3.43% in 2019 to 2.62% in 2020. The decrease in the discount rate resulted in a $3.9 million loss. This actuarial loss was partially offset by actuarial gains of $2.0 million due to the impact of a reduction in the rate for Medicare Advantage plans, $0.4 million due to higher than expected returns on plans assets and $0.1 million due to changes in other actuarial assumptions. The Company recognized actuarial gains of $18.0 million during 2019 primarily due to the impact of a reduction in the rates for Medicare Advantage plans of $22.7 million. The change in the contractual rates for Medicare Advantage plans was due to a law change that repealed the tax on health care insurers after 2020. In addition to the change in rates on Medicare Advantage plans, the Company recognized actuarial gains of $3.6 million due to higher than expected returns on plan assets and $5.2 million due to changes in other actuarial assumptions. These actuarial gains were partially offset by an 87 basis point decrease in the discount rate used to measure the Company's defined benefit postretirement obligations, which decreased from 4.30% to 3.43%. The decrease in the discount rate resulted in a $13.5 million loss. During July 2019, the Company announced changes to the medical plan offerings for certain of its postretirement impact the benefits provided to certain retirees. This plan benefit plans, effective January 1, 2020, which will amendment resulted in a $92.8 million reduction in its postretirement benefit obligations and a corresponding pretax adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss. Starting with the three months ended September 30, 2019, the pretax adjustment of $92.8 million will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost (as a benefit) until 2031. 88 Note 16 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans (continued) The Company recognized actuarial gains of $16.7 million during 2018 primarily due to the impact of a 73 basis point increase in the discount rate used to measure the Company's defined benefit postretirement obligations, which increased from 3.57% in 2017 to 4.30% in 2018, and due to a number of participants opting out of coverage from the plans in response to a financial incentive program offered to eligible participants of the Company's retiree health and life insurance plans. The Company recognized actuarial gains of $10.6 million as a result of the increase in the discount rate and $10.4 million as a result of the impact of the opt-out program. These actuarial gains were partially offset by lower than expected returns on plan assets of $4.0 million and by the impact of experience losses and other changes in valuation assumptions of $0.3 million. 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 2020, the Company applied a discount rate of 3.43% to its other postretirement benefit plans. For expense purposes in 2021, the Company will apply a discount rate of 2.62% to its other postretirement benefit plans. For expense purposes in 2020, the Company applied an expected rate of return of 3.00% to the VEBA trust assets. The following tables set forth the change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets, funded status and amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the other postretirement benefit plans as of December 31, 2020 and 2019: Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year Service cost Interest cost Plan amendments Actuarial losses (gains) International plan exchange rate change Benefits paid Acquisitions Benefit obligation at end of year Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year Company contributions / payments Transfer to VEBA trust for certain active employees' medical benefits Return on plan assets Benefits paid Fair value of plan assets at end of year Funded status at end of year 2020 2019 $ 63.4 $ 186.9 0.2 2.1 (3.1) 1.8 — (6.8) — 57.6 $ 64.4 $ 2.7 (50.0) 0.8 (6.8) 11.1 (46.5) $ 0.2 5.9 (92.8) (14.4) 0.2 (22.7) 0.1 63.4 72.3 8.0 — 6.8 (22.7) 64.4 1.0 $ $ $ 89 Note 16 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans (continued) Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets: Non-current assets Current liabilities Non-current liabilities Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income: Net prior service credit Accumulated other comprehensive income Changes to prior service credit recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss: Accumulated other comprehensive income at beginning of year Prior service credit Recognized prior service credit Total recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31 2020 2019 $ $ $ $ $ $ — $ (5.2) (41.3) (46.5) $ (91.5) $ (91.5) $ (98.2) $ (3.1) 9.8 (91.5) $ 36.6 (3.8) (31.8) 1.0 (98.2) (98.2) (10.8) (92.8) 5.4 (98.2) The presentation in the above tables for amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is before the effect of income taxes. The current portion of accrued postretirement benefits, which was included in salaries, wages and benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $5.2 million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2021, the current portion of accrued postretirement benefits related to unfunded plans and represented the actuarial present value of expected payments related to the plans to be made over the next 12 months. 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 5.5% for 2021, declining gradually to 5.0% in 2023 and thereafter for medical and prescription drug benefits. For Medicare Advantage benefits, actual contract rates have been set for 2021 and 2022, and are assumed to increase by 7.25% for 2022, declining gradually to 5.0% in 2031 and thereafter. 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 2020 total service and interest cost components by $0.1 million and would have increased the postretirement benefit obligation by $1.8 million. A one percentage point decrease would provide corresponding reductions of $0.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. 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, 2020 and 2019, was as follows: Asset Category Equity securities Fixed income securities Total Current Target Allocation Percentage of VEBA Assets at December 31, — 100% 2020 —% 100% 100% 2019 18% 82% 100% 90 Note 16 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans (continued) is important; however, the Company also recognizes that appropriate levels of risk are Preservation of capital necessary to allow its investment managers to achieve satisfactory long-term results consistent with the objectives and the fiduciary character of the postretirement funds.

When such prices are unavailable, the plan trustee determines a valuation from the market maker dealing in the particular security. Mutual funds are valued at the closing priced reported in the active market in which the individual funds are traded. In January 2020, the Company established a second VEBA trust for certain active employees’ medical benefits. The Company transferred $50 million from the existing VEBA trust to fund the second VEBA trust. The $50 million that was transferred was primarily classified as other current assets based on the portfolio of the assets in the trust. The Company utilized all of the assets of the trust in 2020 for the payment of certain active employees’ medical benefits. In January 2021, the Company transferred the remaining $11.1 million in the existing VEBA trust to the second VEBA trust. Cash Flows: The Company did not make any employer contributions to the VEBA in 2020 and 2019. The Company does not expect to make any employer contributions in 2021.

Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year, and generally are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value A portion of the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are valued based on net asset value. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts. Additionally, the Company remeasures certain assets to fair value, using Level 3 measurements, as a result of the occurrence of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions. See Note 2 - Acquisitions for further discussion. The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparts to its financial instruments. No material assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. 93 Note 18 - Fair Value (continued) Financial Instruments: The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, net accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, trade the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Due to the nature of fair value calculations for variable-rate debt, the carrying value of the Company's long-term variable-rate debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $1,220.7 million and $1,185.8 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $1,103.2 million and $1,086.5 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt was measured using Level 2 inputs. Note 19 - Derivative Instruments The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of the Company's commitments denominated in foreign currencies. From time to time, interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed, and floating-rate borrowings. The Company designates certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenues and certain interest rate hedges as cash flow hedges of fixed-rate borrowings. On September 8, 2020, the Company entered into a $100 million floating-to-fixed rate swap on the 2023 Term Loan, which hedges the change in the 1-month LIBOR rate October 30, 2020 through September 11, 2023 to a fixed rate. The Company’s risk management objective is to hedge the risk of changes in the monthly interest expense attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. On September 15, 2020, the Company designated €54.5 million of its €150.0 million fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, maturing on September 07, 2027 (the "2027 Notes") as a hedge against its net investment in one of its European affiliates. The objective of the hedge transaction is to protect the net investment in the foreign operations against changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. The net impact for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was to record a loss of $2.0 million to accumulated comprehensive loss with a corresponding offset to other (expense) income, which partially offsets the impact of the foreign currency adjustment on the 2027 Notes. The Company does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $173.2 million and $295.7 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value. Refer to Note 18 - Fair Value for the fair value disclosure of derivative financial instruments. Cash Flow Hedging Strategy: For certain derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the 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. 94 Note 19 - Derivative Instruments (continued) To protect against a reduction in the value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts. When the dollar strengthens significantly against foreign currencies, the decline in the present value of future foreign currency revenue is offset by gains in the fair value of the forward contracts designated as hedges. 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. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $86.9 million and $87.9 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value that were classified as cash flow hedges. The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges it exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecast transactions is generally eighteen months or less. Derivative Instruments not designated as Hedging Instruments: For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the instruments are typically forward contracts. In general, the practice is to reduce volatility by selectively hedging transaction exposures including intercompany loans, accounts payable and accounts receivable. Intercompany loans between entities with different functional currencies typically are hedged with a forward contract at the inception of loan with a maturity date at the maturity of the loan. The revaluation of these contracts, as well as the revaluation of the underlying balance sheet items, is recorded directly to the income statement so the adjustment generally offsets the revaluation of the underlying balance sheet items to protect cash payments and reduce income statement volatility. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $86.2 million and $207.8 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value that were not designated as hedging instruments. The following table presents the impact of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, and the related location within the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 16, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. 97 Description of the Matter How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations At December 31, 2020, the Company’s aggregate defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligation was $1,100.4 million and exceeded the fair value of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan assets of $877.2 million, resulting in an unfunded defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligation of $223.2 million. As explained in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, Note 15, Retirement Benefit Plans, and Note 16, Other Postretirement Benefit Plans, to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately through net periodic benefit cost upon the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if specific events trigger a remeasurement, through updating the estimates used to measure the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligation and plan assets to reflect the actual return on plan assets and updated actuarial assumptions. Auditing the pension and other postretirement benefit obligations is complex and required the involvement of specialists due to the highly judgmental nature of certain of the actuarial assumptions (e.g., discount rate) used in the measurement process. These assumptions had a significant effect on the projected benefit obligation and net periodic benefit costs recognized. We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s accounting for the measurement of pension and other postretirement obligations. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligation calculations, the relevant data inputs and the significant actuarial assumptions used in the calculations. To test the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligation, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the methodology used, the significant actuarial assumptions discussed above, and the underlying data used by the Company. We compared the actuarial assumptions used by management to historical trends and evaluated the change in the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligation from prior year due to the change in service cost, interest cost, plan amendments, actuarial losses (gains), benefits paid and other to assist with our activities. procedures. For example, we evaluated management’s methodology for determining the discount rate that reflects the maturity and duration of the benefit payments and is used to measure the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit this assessment, we compared the obligation. projected cash flows to prior year and compared the current year benefits paid to the prior year projected cash flows. We also tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data, including the participant data used in the determination of the projected benefit obligation. In addition, we involved an actuarial specialist In certain instances, as part of /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1910.

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 2020 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 is 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, 2020. 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,” management believes that, as of December 31, 2020, Timken’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 99 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of The Timken Company and subsidiaries Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited The Timken Company and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control— Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, The Timken Company and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) of the Company and our report dated February 16, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s 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 are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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 Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 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. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Cleveland, Ohio February 16, 2021 100 Item 9B.

Management also believes that non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful to investors as they are representative of the Company’s core operations and are used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. 2 The Company uses ANOPAT/Average Invested Capital as a non-GAAP ratio that indicates return on invested capital, which is useful to investors as a measure of return on their investment. 3 Management believes that free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that is useful to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities available for the execution of its business strategy. 4 Management believes Net Debt and the ratio of Net Debt to Capital are important measures of the Company’s financial position, due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand. Capital, used for the ratio of 5 net debt to capital, is a non-GAAP measure defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents plus total shareholders’ equity. Impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges (including items recorded in cost of products sold) are related to: (i) plant closures; (ii) the rationalization of certain plants; (iii) severance related to cost reduction initiatives and (iv) related depreciation and amortization. The Company re-assesses its operating footprint and cost structure periodically, and makes adjustments as needed that result in restructuring charges. However, management believes these actions are not representative of the Company’s core operations. 6 Corporate pension and other postretirement benefit related expense (income) primarily represents actuarial losses and (gains) that resulted from the remeasurement of plan assets and obligations as a result of changes in assumptions. The Company recognizes actuarial losses and (gains) through earnings in connection with the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if specific events trigger a remeasurement. Corporate pension and other postretirement benefit related expense (income) also includes curtailments. 7 The acquisition-related gain represents a bargain purchase price gain on the acquisition of the assets of Aurora Bearing Company that closed on November 30, 2020. 8 Property (recoveries) losses and related expenses represent property loss and related expenses during the periods presented (net of insurance recoveries received) that occurred during the first quarter of 2019 at one of the Company’s warehouses in Knoxville, Tennessee and during the third quarter of 2019 at one of the Company’s warehouses in Yantai, China. 9 Depreciation and amortization shown excludes depreciation recognized in reorganization charges, if any. 2020 Shareholder Information World Headquarters Publications Shareholder Information The Timken Company 4500 Mount Pleasant St. NW North Canton, OH 44720-5450 The Annual Meeting Notice and Proxy Card are mailed to shareholders in March.
