TimkenSteel Corporation Delivers
Strong Sales Growth in Second Quarter

Second-quarter net sales up $88 million or 25 percent, year over year, driven by strong demand in the energy and industrial market sectors
Second-quarter adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)(1) increased 25 percent year over year
Company reaffirms full-year sales growth of 20-25 percent over prior year on continuing market growth

CANTON, Ohio: July 31, 2014 — TimkenSteel Corporation (NYSE: TMST, timkensteel.com), a leader in customized alloy steel products and services, today reported second-quarter net income of $28.6 million on $442.2 million of net sales, compared to net income of $25.3 million on net sales of $354.1million in the second quarter of 2013.
Adjusted financial results include adjusted net income(1) of $25.2 million, or $0.55 of adjusted earnings per diluted share (EPS) (1), compared to second-quarter 2013 adjusted net income(1) of $20.4 million, or $0.44 adjusted EPS.
“We successfully completed the spinoff of TimkenSteel, and began our journey as an independent company with a strong financial position. In the second quarter, our results demonstrate our ability to drive shareholder value by selling into more profitable niche markets and leveraging our manufacturing capabilities with strong structural performance,” said Ward J. “Tim” Timken, Jr., chairman, CEO and president. “We also continued to invest for growth, with the announcement of a $40 million continuous heat-treat facility that will expand our opportunity to create customized steels for some of the most demanding applications in markets with solid long-term potential.”

SECOND-QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Second-quarter net sales were up $88 million or 25 percent year over year.
Ship tons were approximately 289,000, an increase of 21.4 percent from the second quarter of the prior year.
Growth in net sales was driven primarily by strong volumes in the energy and industrial market sectors, including surcharges of $24.4 million.

Adjusted EBIT(1) of $39.4 million is a 25 percent increase compared to the same period a year ago.
Melt utilization of 76 percent represents a 23 percent increase over the prior year.
Second-quarter adjusted EBIT(1) was favorable compared to the prior-year second quarter, primarily due to higher sales volume, manufacturing utilization, and a lower LIFO charge, partially offset by costs associated with the timing of inventory reduction and asset and inventory adjustments at separation.

SECOND-QUARTER BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
Industrial and Mobile Segment
Net sales of $254.7 million represent a 13.7 percent increase over the second quarter of the prior year, including higher surcharges of $9.2 million, driven by stronger demand in the industrial market sector and slightly offset by lower automotive shipments.
Second-quarter EBIT margin of 8.2 percent was lower than prior-year margin of 11.3 percent due to unfavorable inventory change and physical inventory adjustments offsetting favorable volume, mix and manufacturing leverage.
Energy and Distribution Segment
Net sales of $187.5 million represent a 44.1 percent increase over the second quarter of the prior year, including higher surcharges of $15.2 million, driven primarily by continued growth in demand in the energy end markets coupled with strength in the distribution channel.
Second quarter EBIT margin of 16.6 percent is higher than prior-year second-quarter margin of 14.8 percent, driven by volume increases, favorable mix, and strong manufacturing leverage, partially offset by unfavorable inventory change and physical inventory adjustments.


NEWS RELEASE / Page 3



OUTLOOK
We project 2014 sales growth of 20-25 percent over full-year 2013 driven by strength in our end markets and supported by additional crews at several of our facilities.
Second-half 2014 capital spending is forecasted at approximately $100-$105 million.
We expect to launch the jumbo vertical bloom caster in the third quarter. The caster will begin to ramp up in the second half with the benefits expected in 2015.
We expect second-half 2014 improvement in manufacturing to partially offset annual shutdown maintenance and caster ramp-up costs for a net impact of $2-4 million.
We anticipate LIFO expense of $14-$18 million in second half 2014 compared to $2 million in the first half.

(1)NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

TimkenSteel reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and corresponding metrics as non-GAAP financial measures. EBIT is defined as operating income plus other income (expense), net. EBIT is an important financial measure used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Management believes that reporting EBIT is useful to investors as this measure is representative of the company's performance and cash generation. It also is a better reflection of the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of the business and provides improved comparability of results.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of TimkenSteel Corporation’s former parent company, The Timken Company. TimkenSteel’s consolidated financial statements include certain expenses of its former parent which were allocated to it for certain functions, including general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, compliance, shared services, insurance, employee benefits and incentives and stock-based compensation. TimkenSteel considers the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses it would have incurred as an independent public company or of the costs it will incur in the future. Adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income are defined as EBIT and net income reduced for stand-alone costs reflected at a normal run-rate, respectively. Management believes that reporting adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income is useful to investors as these measures are representative of the company's performance and cash generation. It also is a better reflection of the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of the business and provides an indication of the company’s performance as an independent public company.

GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, TimkenSteel's results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP measures TimkenSteel uses may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and other companies may not define the non-GAAP measures TimkenSteel uses in the same way.

Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt and the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital:
This reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the Company's financial position. Capital, used for the ratio of total debt to capital, is defined as total debt plus total shareholders' equity. Capital, used for the ratio of net debt to capital, is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents plus total shareholders' equity. Management believes Net Debt is an important measure of the Company's financial position, due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents.
