Insights

Equity Analyst

Timken reports modest sales growth, stronger adjusted earnings and cash flow, offset by lower GAAP profit and a slightly weaker full-year revenue outlook.

Sales rose to $1.16 billion in the quarter, up 2.7%, with adjusted EPS up to $1.37 from $1.23, and adjusted EBITDA margin improving to 17.4%. Cash from operations of $201 million and free cash flow of $164 million materially strengthened liquidity versus last year.

GAAP net income and diluted EPS declined to $69.3 million and $0.99, and net income margin contracted to 6.0%, reflecting one-time differences and lower reported profit despite operational improvements. The company updated full-year adjusted EPS to a range of $5.20–$5.30 while planning revenue to be down about 0.75% at the midpoint for 2025.

Key dependencies and near-term monitors include execution on the stated portfolio "80/20" focus, realization of synergies from the CGI acquisition, and whether the stronger cash generation sustains through the rest of 2025. Watch quarterly adjusted EBITDA, organic sales trends, and the company’s commentary on tariff and material cost impacts over the next two quarters for clarity on margin sustainability.

• Sales of $1.16 billion, up 2.7 percent from last year

• Net income margin of 6.0 percent; adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.4 percent
• Strong cash from operations of $201 million; free cash flow of $164 million
• Updates full-year 2025 outlook; now expects EPS of $3.90-$4.00, with adjusted EPS of $5.20-$5.30

Third-Quarter 2025 Highlights

Timken delivered sales in the third quarter of $1.16 billion, up 2.7 percent from the same period a year ago. The increase was driven by higher pricing, favorable foreign currency translation and revenue from the CGI acquisition, partially offset by lower end-market demand in the Industrial Motion segment. Organically, sales were up 0.6 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2024.

The company posted net income in the third quarter of $69.3 million or $0.99 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $81.8 million or $1.16 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. The company's net income margin in the quarter was 6.0 percent, compared to 7.3 percent in the third quarter of last year. Net income in the year-ago period benefited from a gain on sale of real estate.

Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted net income in the third quarter was $96.2 million or $1.37 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income of $87.0 million or $1.23 per diluted share for the same period in 2024. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the quarter were $201.7 million or 17.4 percent of sales, compared with $190.0 million or 16.9 percent of sales in the third quarter of last year.

Net cash provided by operations in the quarter was $201.1 million, up from $123.2 million in the same period a year ago. Free cash flow for the quarter was $163.8 million, up from $88.2 million in the year-ago period.

Third-Quarter 2025 Segment Results

Engineered Bearings sales of $765.8 million increased 3.4 percent from the same period a year ago driven primarily by higher renewable energy demand, higher pricing and favorable foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $144.2 million or 18.8 percent of sales, compared with $138.4 million or 18.7 percent of sales in the third quarter of last year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by favorable price/mix, lower material & logistics costs and the impact of higher volume, partially offset by incremental tariff costs and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency.

Industrial Motion sales of $391.3 million increased 1.3 percent compared with the same period a year ago, as revenue from the CGI acquisition, higher pricing and favorable foreign currency translation more than offset lower services revenue and renewable energy demand.

Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $74.5 million or 19.0 percent of sales, compared with $74.2 million or 19.2 percent of sales in the third quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter benefited from favorable price/mix, lower SG&A expenses and the benefit of the CGI acquisition, offset by the impact of lower volume, incremental tariff costs and higher material & logistics costs.

Outlook

Timken is updating its 2025 outlook, with full-year earnings per diluted share now forecasted to be in the range of $3.90 to $4.00 and adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $5.20 to $5.30. The company is now planning for 2025 revenue to be down approximately 0.75 percent in total at the midpoint, a slight improvement versus the midpoint of its prior outlook.

(1) Impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges (including items recorded in cost of products sold) relate to: (i) plant closures; (ii) the rationalization of certain plants; (iii) severance related to cost reduction initiatives; and (iv) impairment of assets. 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.

Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt, the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital, and the Ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA:
(Unaudited)
These reconciliations are provided as additional relevant information about the Company's financial position deemed useful to investors. Capital, used for the ratio of net debt to capital, is a non-GAAP measure defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents plus total shareholders' equity. Management believes Net Debt, the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital, Adjusted EBITDA (see next page), and the Ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are important measures of the Company's financial position, due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company presents net debt to adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is more representative of the Company's financial position as it is reflective of the ability to cover its net debt obligations with results from its core operations.
