How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

diluted eps, ebitda, non-gaap measure

3 terms

diluted eps financial

"The company posted net income in the third quarter of $93.8 million or $1.34 per diluted share."

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) shows how much profit a company makes for each share of stock, assuming all possible shares from stock options or convertible securities are used. It provides a more conservative estimate than basic EPS, accounting for potential share increases that could dilute ownership. Investors use diluted EPS to get a clearer picture of a company's true profitability on a per-share basis.

ebitda financial

"Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the quarter"

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.

View in glossary

non-gaap measure financial

"EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as operating income plus other income"

A non-GAAP measure is a company-crafted financial metric that adjusts or excludes items from standard accounting numbers to highlight what management sees as the business’s core performance. Investors use these figures like a filtered photo to reveal trends or cash flow drivers that raw accounting totals might hide, but because companies decide which items to remove, these measures should be compared with standard statements to avoid being misled.

"In the third quarter, we delivered double-digit earnings growth versus last year and generated significant cash flow," said Lucian Boldea, president and chief executive officer. "The continued execution of our Elevate to Outperform strategy gives us confidence in our 2026 outlook and our ability to achieve even stronger performance next year. While it is too early to provide a formal outlook for 2027, we currently expect organic sales to increase mid-single digits compared to 2026 driven by incremental growth from our strategic initiatives and further positive momentum across our industrial markets."

Third-Quarter 2026 Highlights

Timken delivered sales in the third quarter of $1.21 billion, up 4.7 percent from the same period a year ago. The increase was driven primarily by higher volumes in the Industrial Motion segment, revenue from the Bijur Delimon acquisition and higher pricing. Organically, sales were up 2.8 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2025.

The company posted net income in the third quarter of $93.8 million or $1.34 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $69.3 million or $0.99 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. The company's net income margin in the quarter was 7.7 percent, compared to 6.0 percent in the third quarter of last year.

Excluding special items (detailed in the attached tables), adjusted net income in the third quarter was $115.1 million or $1.65 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income of $96.2 million or $1.37 per diluted share for the same period in 2025. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the quarter were $224.6 million or 18.5 percent of sales, compared with $201.7 million or 17.4 percent of sales in the third quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA in the current period includes a net benefit of $12.4 million for IEEPA tariff refunds.

Net cash provided by operations in the quarter was $256.1 million, and free cash flow was $221.4 million. During the quarter, Timken repurchased approximately 505 thousand shares of company stock. In total, the company returned $88.7 million of cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in the third quarter. Timken also completed the previously announced sale of its belts business to Gates Industrial Corporation Ltd. at the end of the third quarter, which is expected to improve the adjusted EBITDA margins of the Industrial Motion segment. The company ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet; net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 1.7 times as of September 30, 2026.

Third-Quarter 2026 Segment Results

Engineered Bearings sales of $771.4 million increased 0.7 percent from the same period a year ago driven primarily by the impact of higher pricing and slightly favorable foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $155.8 million or 20.2 percent of sales, compared with $144.2 million or 18.8 percent of sales in the third quarter of last year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by a net benefit for tariff refunds, positive price/mix and favorable foreign currency, partially offset by higher operating costs.

Industrial Motion sales of $440.0 million increased 12.4 percent compared with the same period a year ago driven primarily by higher demand across most end-market sectors and platforms, revenue from the Bijur Delimon acquisition and higher pricing.

Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $87.0 million or 19.8 percent of sales, compared with $74.5 million or 19.0 percent of sales in the third quarter of last year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by the impact of higher volume, positive price/mix and contribution from the Bijur Delimon acquisition, partially offset by higher operating costs.

2026 Outlook

Timken is increasing its 2026 outlook, with full-year earnings per diluted share now forecasted to be in the range of $4.05 to $4.20 and adjusted earnings per diluted share to the range of $6.35 to $6.50.

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.
