NORTH CANTON, Ohio, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR; www.timken.com), a global leader in bearings, reports second-quarter 2016 sales of $674 million, 7.5 percent lower than the same period a year ago. Excluding an unfavorable currency impact of 1.7 percent, sales were down 5.8 percent, due to weakness across most end markets, partially offset by growth in automotive and the net benefit of acquisitions.

In the second quarter, Timken posted net income of $44.9 million or $0.57 per diluted share, versus net income of $36.7 million or $0.43 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year increase in net income reflects lower material and manufacturing costs, SG&A expenses and pension settlement charges, and income related to distributions under the U.S. Continued Dumping Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA). These items were partially offset by lower volume, unfavorable price/mix and currency, and higher restructuring charges.

Net income in the quarter included income from CDSOA, restructuring expense and other items totaling $1.2 million of income (net). Excluding these items, adjusted net income was $43.7 million or $0.55 per diluted share. This compares with adjusted net income of $49.1 million or $0.57 per diluted share for the same period in 2015 (reference table below).

"We performed well in the quarter despite challenging market conditions, generating strong cash flow and delivering double-digit operating margins," Timken President and Chief Executive Officer Richard G. Kyle said. "We also continued to advance our strategic priorities including the recent acquisition of Lovejoy. While we expect our target markets to weaken further in the second half, we are maintaining our full-year adjusted earnings guidance primarily on the strength of our operational excellence initiatives."

Cash from operations for the quarter was $155.5 million. Free cash flow for the quarter was $129.3 million. Cash from operations for the second quarter benefited from $48.1 million of cash receipts from CDSOA, lower tax payments and working capital.

Recently, the company:


    --  Added to its mechanical power transmission product portfolio with the
        acquisition of Lovejoy, Inc., a manufacturer of premium industrial
        couplings and universal joints;
    --  Opened a new service center in Denver for the repair of electric motors,
        generators and gearboxes, providing new and existing customers a broader
        offering of powertrain repair solutions;
    --  Continued to advance its manufacturing footprint initiatives with the
        closure of a bearing plant in the U.K.;
    --  Returned $53.6 million in capital to shareholders in the second quarter
        through the repurchase of nearly 1 million shares and the payment of its
        376th consecutive quarterly dividend; and
    --  Received a credit rating upgrade from BBB- to BBB from S&P Global
        Ratings.

Second-Quarter Segment Results

Mobile Industries reported second-quarter sales of $367.8 million, 5.4 percent lower than the same period a year ago. Excluding unfavorable currency of 1.5 percent, sales were down 3.9 percent compared with the prior year, as growth in automotive and the net benefit of acquisitions were offset by declines in other end markets.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the quarter were $35.3 million or 9.6 percent of sales, compared with EBIT of $36.0 million or 9.3 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The slight decrease in EBIT reflects lower volume, unfavorable price/mix and currency, and higher restructuring costs offset by favorable material and manufacturing costs, and lower SG&A expenses.

EBIT in the quarter included restructuring charges of $2.3 million. Excluding this, adjusted EBIT was $37.6 million or 10.2 percent of sales, compared with $37.0 million or 9.5 percent of sales in the second quarter last year.

Process Industries sales of $305.8 million for the second quarter declined 9.9 percent from the same period a year ago. Excluding unfavorable currency of 1.9 percent, sales were down 8 percent, driven by weaker demand in the industrial aftermarket and heavy industries, partially offset by higher military marine revenue and the benefit of acquisitions.

EBIT for the quarter was $46.7 million or 15.3 percent of sales, compared with EBIT of $56.7 million or 16.7 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The decrease in EBIT was driven by the impact of lower volume and unfavorable price/mix, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses and the benefit of acquisitions.

EBIT in the quarter included restructuring charges and other items totaling $1 million of expense. Excluding these items, adjusted EBIT was $47.7 million or 15.6 percent of sales, compared with $57.5 million or 16.9 percent of sales in the second quarter last year.

2016 Outlook

The company expects 2016 revenue to be down approximately 6 percent in total versus 2015, including an estimated unfavorable currency impact of 1.5 percent.

Within its segments, the company estimates full-year 2016:


    --  Mobile Industries' sales to be down 6 to 7 percent. Excluding an
        estimated unfavorable currency impact of 1.5 percent, sales are expected
        to decline around 5 percent, reflecting lower demand in rail,
        off-highway, aerospace and heavy truck, partially offset by growth in
        automotive and the net benefit of acquisitions/divestitures.
    --  Process Industries' sales to be down 5 to 6 percent. Excluding an
        estimated unfavorable currency impact of 2 percent, sales are expected
        to decline around 3 to 4 percent, driven by declines in the industrial
        aftermarket and heavy industries, partially offset by the benefit of
        acquisitions (including the recently announced Lovejoy acquisition).

Timken now anticipates 2016 earnings per diluted share to range from $1.70 to $1.80 for the full year on a GAAP basis. The company expects 2016 adjusted earnings per diluted share to range from $1.90 to $2.00, unchanged from its prior estimate.

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


    (2) Pension settlement charges in 2015 primarily related to the purchase of a group annuity contract from Prudential to pay and administer future pension benefits for approximately 5,000 U.S. Timken retirees, as well as lump-sum distributions to new retirees.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    (3) Impairment and restructuring charges, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold, related to plant closures, the rationalization of certain plants and severance related to cost reduction initiatives. The Company re-assesses its operating footprint and makes adjustments as needed that result in restructuring charges.  However, those efforts are not representative of the Company's core operations.
      Therefore, management believes that reporting adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share that exclude these charges is useful to investors as those measures are representative of the Company's core operations.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    (4) Acquisition charges related to the acquisition of Lovejoy, Inc. (Lovejoy), including one-time transaction costs.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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


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

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

    (Unaudited)

    The following reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the Company's performance deemed useful to investors.  Management believes consolidated earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (EBIT) is a non-GAAP measure that is useful to investors as it is representative of the Company's performance and that it is appropriate to compare
     GAAP net income (loss) to consolidated EBIT. Management also believes that non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin are useful to investors as they are representative of the Company's core operations and are used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.

    (1) Pension settlement charges in 2015 primarily related to the purchase of a group annuity contract from Prudential to pay and administer future pension benefits for approximately 5,000 U.S. Timken retirees, as well as lump-sum distributions to new retirees.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    (2) Impairment and restructuring charges, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold, related to plant closures, the rationalization of certain plants and severance related to cost reduction initiatives. The Company re-assesses its operating footprint and makes adjustments as needed that result in restructuring charges.  However, those
     efforts are not representative of the Company's core operations.  Therefore, management believes that reporting adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin that exclude these charges is useful to investors as those measures are representative of the Company's core operations.

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

    (4) Acquisition charges related to the acquisition of Lovejoy, including one time transaction costs.

    (Unaudited)

    The following reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the Company's Mobile Industries and Process Industries segment performance deemed useful to investors. Management believes that non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin for the segments are useful to investors as they
     are representative of each segment's core operations and used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.

    (1) Impairment and restructuring charges, including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold, related to plant closures, the rationalization of certain plants and severance related to cost reduction initiatives. The Company re-assesses its operating footprint and makes adjustments as needed that result
     in restructuring charges.  However, those efforts are not representative of the Company's core operations.  Therefore, management believes that reporting adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin that exclude these charges is useful to investors as those measures are representative of the Company's core operations.

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

    (Unaudited)

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