Timken Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2019 Results

Posted fourth-quarter sales of $896 million, down 1.5 percent from last year
Fourth-quarter earnings per diluted share were $1.48 on a GAAP basis, with adjusted EPS of $0.84
Achieved record full-year 2019 earnings per diluted share of $4.71 on a GAAP basis and record adjusted EPS of $4.60
Generated strong full-year 2019 net operating cash flow of $550 million and free cash flow of $410 million
Updates 2020 earnings outlook; expects GAAP earnings per diluted share of $4.00 to $4.40 and adjusted EPS of $4.25 to $4.65

NORTH CANTON, Ohio: February 5, 2020 - The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR; www.timken.com), a world leader in engineered bearings and power transmission products, today reported fourth-quarter 2019 sales of $896.2 million, down 1.5 percent from the same period a year ago. The decline was driven by lower demand mainly in the Mobile Industries segment and unfavorable currency, partially offset by the favorable impact of acquisitions and positive pricing.

In the fourth quarter, Timken posted net income of $113.5 million or $1.48 per diluted share, versus net income of $60.0 million or $0.77 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. The current period included pension and other postretirement plan remeasurement income, a net income tax credit driven by discrete items in the current period, and other special items detailed in the attached tables, which more than accounted for the year-over-year improvement in GAAP net income.

Excluding special items, adjusted net income in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $64.3 million or $0.84 per diluted share versus adjusted net income of $77.4 million or $1.00 per diluted share for the same period in 2018. The decline in adjusted net income reflects the impact of lower volume and higher manufacturing and SG&A costs, partially offset by positive pricing and lower material and logistics costs.

Net cash from operations for the quarter was $195.3 million, and free cash flow was $137.6 million. During the quarter, the company returned $27.7 million in capital to shareholders with the payment of its 390th consecutive quarterly dividend and the repurchase of more than 150 thousand shares.

“Fourth quarter revenue was in line with our expectations and cash flow finished the year strong. While profitability fell short, a significant portion of this related to some higher than normal operating expenses in the quarter that are not expected to persist,” said Richard G. Kyle, Timken president and chief executive officer. “In 2019, Timken delivered record earnings per share, operating margin expansion and solid revenue gains in sectors like renewable energy, aerospace and rail. Our strong financial performance in a relatively soft industrial market environment demonstrates the successful execution of our strategy. Our performance in 2019 underscores the enduring strength of our portfolio and reflects a stronger, more diverse Timken Company.”

2019 Full-Year Results

For 2019, sales were $3.8 billion, up 5.8 percent compared with 2018. The increase was driven by the favorable impact of acquisitions, positive pricing and organic growth in Process Industries, partially offset by unfavorable currency and the impact of lower demand in Mobile Industries.

Net income was $362.1 million or a record $4.71 per diluted share for the year, compared with net income of $302.8 million or $3.86 per diluted share a year ago. The year-over-year improvement reflects favorable pricing, the benefit of acquisitions, and the impact of a lower tax rate driven by net discrete benefits, partially offset by the impact of lower volume, unfavorable currency and higher interest expense. The current period also benefited from pension and other retirement plan remeasurement income versus expense in the year-ago period.

Excluding special items detailed in the attached tables, adjusted net income was $353.8 million or record adjusted earnings of $4.60 per diluted share in 2019. This compares with adjusted net income of $327.5 million or adjusted earnings of $4.18 per diluted share in 2018. The improvement in adjusted net income reflects favorable pricing and the benefit of acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of lower volume, unfavorable currency and higher interest expense.

Timken generated strong cash flow in 2019, with net cash from operations for the full year of $550.1 million, and free cash flow of $409.5 million. The company ended the year with net debt to adjusted EBITDA at 2.1 times.

During the year, the company continued to broaden its reach through acquisitions. The addition of BEKA Lubrication (BEKA) makes Timken the world’s second largest producer of industrial automatic lubrication systems1, and enhances the company’s position in attractive markets such as wind and food and beverage. Diamond Chain expands Timken’s leadership in high-performance roller chains for industrial markets and builds on the company’s strong position in distribution. Together these acquisitions also expand the company’s global presence in growing markets, especially in China and Europe, and both are expected to deliver significant cost and revenue synergies over time. Additionally, Timken paid dividends totaling $1.12 per share in 2019, which represents its sixth consecutive year of annual dividend increases, and repurchased over 1.4 million shares of stock. Between dividends and share repurchases, the company returned a total of $148 million to shareholders in 2019.

Fourth-Quarter 2019 Segment Results

Mobile Industries sales of $445.1 million decreased 3.6 percent compared with the same period a year ago. The decline was driven primarily by lower shipments in the off-highway and heavy truck sectors, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions and growth in the rail and aerospace sectors.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the quarter were $57.5 million or 12.9 percent of sales, compared with EBITDA of $61.1 million or 13.2 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The decrease in EBITDA reflects the impact of lower volume and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by favorable price/mix and lower material and logistics costs.

Excluding special items detailed in the attached tables, adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $60.3 million or 13.5 percent of sales, compared with $65.0 million or 14.1 percent of sales in the fourth quarter last year.

TIMKEN
 


Process Industries sales of $451.1 million increased 0.6 percent from the same period a year ago, driven primarily by the favorable impact of acquisitions and strong growth in renewable energy, mostly offset by lower revenue in the industrial and marine sectors and unfavorable currency.

EBITDA for the quarter was $96.8 million or 21.5 percent of sales, compared with EBITDA of $101.2 million or 22.6 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. The decrease in EBITDA was driven by the impact of lower volume, unfavorable mix and higher operating expenses, partially offset by favorable pricing.

Excluding special items detailed in the attached tables, adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $98.3 million or 21.8 percent of sales, compared with $109.4 million or 24.4 percent of sales in the fourth quarter last year.

2020 Outlook

The company expects 2020 revenue to be in the range of down 2 percent to up 2 percent, or roughly flat at the midpoint, versus 2019. This includes the benefit of acquisitions made during 2019, offset by expected organic declines in Mobile Industries and the impact of currency.

Timken anticipates 2020 earnings per diluted share to range from $4.00 to $4.40 for the full year on a GAAP basis. Excluding special items detailed in the attached tables, the company expects 2020 adjusted earnings per diluted share ranging from $4.25 to $4.65. Timken plans to generate net cash from operations of approximately $585 million and free cash flow of $425 million at the midpoint in 2020.

“We plan to deliver another strong year of cash generation and solid earnings performance in 2020 against a soft industrial economic backdrop,” said Kyle. “We expect profitability to improve meaningfully from fourth-quarter levels, and we remain focused on driving outgrowth, integrating recent acquisitions and advancing our operational excellence initiatives. With our proven strategy and track record, we are confident in our ability to achieve our new five-year targets and deliver attractive shareholder returns for years to come.”

(1) Adjustments are pre-tax, with the net tax provision listed separately.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(2) 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) 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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(3) Represents property loss and related expenses during the year (net of insurance proceeds) resulting from property loss 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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(4) Acquisition-related charges in 2019 primarily related to the Rollon S.p.A. ("Rollon"), The Diamond Chain Company ("Diamond Chain"), and BEKA Lubrication ("BEKA") acquisitions, including transaction costs and inventory step-up impact. This also includes transaction costs related to the acquisition of the joint venture partner's interest in Timken-XEMC (Hunan) Bearing Co., Ltd.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(5) The Brazil legal matter represents expense recorded to establish a liability associated with an investigation into alleged antitrust violations in the bearing industry that was settled in the fourth quarter of 2019. Refer to the Contingencies footnote within the Company's annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(6) The gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of a manufacturing facility in Pulaski, Tennessee during the first quarter of 2019 and disposal of land in Colmar, France during the fourth quarter of 2019. These amounts were recorded in other income.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(7) Corporate pension and other postretirement benefit related charges represent actuarial (gains) and losses that resulted from the remeasurement of plan assets and obligations as a result of changes in assumptions. The Company recognizes actuarial (gains) and losses in connection with the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or if specific events trigger a remeasurement. Refer to the Retirement Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans footnotes within the Company's annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(8) Loss on divestiture relates to the sale of the Groeneveld Information Technology Holding B.V. (the "ICT Business").
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(9) Provision for income taxes includes the net tax impact on pre-tax adjustments (listed above), the impact of discrete tax items recorded during the respective periods, including the reduction of a valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2019 of $39.2 million, as well as other adjustments to reflect the use of one overall effective tax rate on adjusted pre-tax income in interim periods.

(Unaudited)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The following reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the Company's performance deemed useful to investors.  Management believes consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) 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 to consolidated EBITDA. Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA 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.

These reconciliations are provided as additional relevant information about the Company's financial position deemed useful to investors.
