PART I. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 5.
Note 1 -- Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements (unaudited) for The Timken Company (the "company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Note 2 -- Stock-Based Compensation On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," by providing alterna- tive methods of transition to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure require- ments of SFAS No. 123. The company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options to key associates and directors. Under APB Opinion No. 25, whenever the market price of the com- pany's stock options equals the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is required.
The effect on net income (loss) and earnings per share as if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 is as follows for the quarters ended March 31: 2003 2002 ---------- ----------- (Thousands of dollars) Net income (loss), as reported $11,339 $(3,514)
Add: Stock-based employee compen- sation expense, net of related taxes 451 54
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based methods for all awards, net of related tax effects (1,217) (927) ---------- ----------- Pro forma net income (loss) $10,573 $(4,387) ========== =========== Earnings per share: Basic and diluted - as reported $ 0.15 $(0.06) Basic and diluted - pro forma $ 0.14 $(0.07)
Note 3 -- Acquisition
On February 18, 2003, the company acquired Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited's (IR's) Engineered Solutions business, a leading worldwide producer of needle roller, heavy-duty roller and ball bearings, and motion control components and assemblies. IR's Engineered Solutions business is comprised of certain operating assets and subsidiaries, including The Torrington Company. IR's Engineered Solutions business, hereafter referred to as Torrington, had sales of $1.2 billion in 2002.

Note 3 -- Acquisition (continued)
The company paid IR $700 million in cash, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments, and issued $140 million of its common stock (9,395,973 shares) to Ingersoll-Rand Company, a subsidiary of IR. To finance the cash portion of the transaction the company utilized, in addition to cash on hand: $180.0 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, from a public offering of 12.65 million shares of common stock at $14.90 per common share; $246.9 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, from a public offering of $250.0 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due 2010; $125.0 million from its Asset Securitization facility; and approximately $86 million from its new senior credit facility. Costs related to the acquisition were $18.2 million and are included in the purchase price.
The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and further adjustments will be made upon completion of the final valuation studies and integration initiatives implemented by the company.
The table below reflects unaudited pro forma results of the company and Torrington as if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the periods presented, after giving effect to certain adjustments, including the amorti- zation of intangible assets, interest expense on acquisition debt, depreciation of fixed assets, employee benefits and income tax effects. Unaudited pro forma earnings for each quarter presented include higher than normal cost of products sold resulting from the one-time write-up of acquired inventories required by the purchase accounting rules. This charge decreased earnings per share by approximately $0.07 in each quarter presented. No effect has been given to operating synergies in this presentation. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented or that may be obtained in the future:

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on manage- ment's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many forces beyond management's control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

On December 19, 2002, the company entered into an Accounts Receivable Securitization financing agreement (Asset Securitization), which provides for borrowings up to $125 million, limited to certain borrowing base calculations, and is secured by certain trade receivables. Under the terms of the Asset Securitization, the company sells, on an ongoing basis, certain domestic trade receivables to Timken Receivables Corporation, a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, that in turn uses the trade receivables to secure the borrowings, which are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial paper in the short- term market. As of March 31, 2003, there was $125 million outstanding on this facility, and no payments have been made. This balance is reflected on the company's consolidated condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 in short- term debt and commercial paper. The yield on the commercial paper, which is the commercial paper rate plus program fees, is considered a financing cost, and is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. This rate was 1.76% at March 31, 2003.
Under the $500 million senior credit facility, the company has three financial covenants: consolidated net worth; leverage ratio; and fixed charge coverage ratio. These financial covenants will become effective for the second quarter ending on June 30, 2003. At March 31, 2003, the company was in compliance with the covenants under its senior credit facility and its other debt agreements.

Note 8 -- Impairment and Restructuring Charges
In April 2001, the company announced a strategic global refocusing of its manu- facturing operations (MSI) to establish a foundation for accelerating the company's growth initiatives. This second phase of the company's transformation included creating focused factories for each product line or component, replacing specific manufacturing processes with state-of-the-art processes through the company's global supply chain, rationalizing production to the lowest total cost plants in the company's global manufacturing system and implementing lean manufacturing process redesign. The company closed its bearing plants in Columbus, Ohio and Duston, England, sold the tooling plant in Ashland, Ohio, and reduced employment by 1,824 associates by the end of 2002. To implement the MSI initiatives during 2001 and 2002, the company incurred $107.4 million in cumulative impairment, restructuring and reorgani- zation charges related to MSI and salaried workforce reduction programs.
The company targeted an annualized pretax rate of savings of approximately $100 million by the end of 2004 as a result of these programs. As of March 31, 2002, the company achieved an estimated annualized pretax savings rate of $35 million. All charges associated with MSI and salaried workforce reduction programs were recognized at the end of 2002, and the company achieved an estimated annualized pretax savings rate of $80 million. No impairment, restructuring and/or reorganization charges related to the MSI and salaried workforce reduction programs were incurred during the first quarter of 2003. As of March 31, 2003, the majority of the remaining accrual balance was paid, and no reversal of the severance accrual was recorded.
The following chart details the breakdown by segment of the $3.0 million in restructuring and impairment charges incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 (in millions of dollars): Auto Industrial Steel Total Restructuring: ------- ---------- ------- ------- Separation costs $ 0.4 $ 0.4 $ 0.2 $ 1.0 Exit costs 0.5 - - 0.5 ------- ---------- ------- ------- $ 0.9 $ 0.4 $ 0.2 $ 1.5 Impaired assets: Property, plant and equipment $ 1.0 $ 0.5 $ - $ 1.5 ------- ---------- ------- ------- $ 1.9 $ 0.9 $ 0.2 $ 3.0 ======= ========== ======= ======= The first quarter of 2002 automotive impaired assets charge related to the Duston plant closure and the impaired assets charge for industrial related to the Columbus plant closure. The majority of the automotive and industrial restructuring costs also related to the Duston and Columbus plant closures, respectively. Reorganization charges for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 totaled $5.1 million, classified as cost of products sold ($2.3 million) and selling, administrative and general expenses ($2.8 million).

Note 9 -- Segment Information
With the acquisition of Torrington, the company reorganized two of its reportable segments - the Automotive and Industrial Groups. Timken's automotive aftermarket business is now part of the Industrial Group, which is managing the combined distribution operations. The company's sales to emerging markets, principally in central and eastern Europe and Asia, previously were reported as part of the Industrial Group. In the first quarter of 2003, emerging market sales to automotive original equipment manufacturers are now included in the Automotive Group. The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each Group is adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) excluding special items such as restructuring, reorganization and integration costs, one-time gains or losses on sales of assets and allocated payments received under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA). The segment results that follow for both 2003 and 2002 reflect the reporting reorganization described above.

Note 12 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 has no effect on charges recorded for exit activities begun prior to this date. The company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (the Interpretation). The Interpretation's disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Interpretation requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value. The guarantor's previous accounting for guarantees issued prior to the date of initial application should not be revised or restated.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of Interpretation 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation

Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. Implementation of Interpre- tation 46 may require the company to consolidate certain equity investments. The company is currently evaluating the impact of Interpretation 46 on the financial statements of the company.
16. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations - ---------------------
First quarter 2003 results were significantly impacted by the acquisition of Torrington, which was acquired on February 18, 2003. In addition to the effects of the acquisition, strong automotive demand and the positive impact of currency exchange rates caused net sales to be higher in the first quarter 2003 compared to the same period a year ago. Industrial markets, however, continued to be sluggish during the first quarter of 2003.
The Timken Company reported net sales of $838.0 million for the first quarter of 2003, an increase of 36.1% from $615.8 million in the first quarter of 2002. The company reported net income of $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2003 compared to a net loss of $3.5 million in the same quarter a year ago. Results in the first quarter of 2002 were impacted by the $12.7 million aftertax cumulative effect of change in accounting principle related to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." In the first quarter of 2003, the company incurred total pretax acquisition integration charges of $9.1 million. Of this amount, $3.7 million was reflected in the company's cost of products sold and $5.4 million was reflected in selling, administrative and general expenses for the quarter. These integration charges are entirely related to the acquisition of Torrington and did not include any amounts related to Timken's manufacturing strategy initiative (MSI). Operating income for the first quarter of 2002 included pretax charges of $8.1 million related to MSI. Of this, $3.0 million represented impairment and restructuring charges and $5.1 million represented reorganization charges.
Gross profit was $130.3 million (15.5% of net sales) in the first quarter of 2003, compared to $118.6 million (19.2% of net sales) in the first quarter of 2002. Although sales volume in the first quarter of 2003 was higher compared to the same period a year ago, gross profit performance was adversely impacted by the higher scrap, energy, pension and benefit costs. Also, performance continued to be impacted by inefficiencies caused by capacity constraints related to the rationalization of manufacturing operations while meeting strong automotive demand. First quarter 2003 gross profit was negatively impacted by additional expense of $3.5 million in cost of products sold resulting from the one-time write-up of acquired inventories required by purchase accounting rules.
Selling, administrative and general expenses were $105.3 million (12.6% of net sales) in the first quarter of 2003, compared to $86.0 million (14.0% of net sales) recorded in the same quarter a year ago. Although the amount of selling, administrative and general expenses increased in the first quarter of 2003, compared to the same period a year ago, the expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased. First quarter 2003 net sales were 36.1% higher than the first quarter of 2002. However, selling, administrative and general expenses for the first quarter of 2003 increased only 22.4%, compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in the total dollar amount of selling, administrative and general expenses resulted from the addition of six weeks of Torrington's financial results as well as costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Torrington. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in selling, administrative and general expenses related to Timken's business cost reductions achieved through MSI and salaried workforce reduction initiatives. Selling, administrative and general expenses in the first quarter of 2003 included $5.4 million of integration expenses, compared to $2.8 million
17. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
of reorganization expenses in the first quarter of 2002.
First quarter 2002 operating income was impacted by MSI, which was announced in April 2001. Restructuring charges of $3.0 million consisted of $1.5 million in impaired assets charges and $1.5 million in severance and exit costs. The $1.5 million in impaired assets charges was comprised of a $1.0 million charge to Automotive related to the Duston, England plant closure and $0.5 million charge to Industrial related to the Columbus, Ohio plant closure. The majority of the severance and exit costs of $1.5 million also related to the Duston and Columbus plant closures. Reorganization charges for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 totaled $5.1 million, of which $2.3 million was classified as cost of products sold and $2.8 million was classified as selling, administrative and general expenses. All charges associated with MSI and salaried workforce reduction initiatives were recognized at the end of 2002, and the company achieved an estimated annualized pretax savings rate of $80 million from the MSI program as of December 31, 2002.
The increase in other income (expense) in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the same period a year ago was due primarily to a one-time gain of $5.4 million related to the sale of property in the United Kingdom.
The effective tax rate for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, exceeded the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to losses at certain foreign operations in which the realization of the tax benefit of these losses is more than likely not to occur and taxes paid to state and local jurisdictions.
With the acquisition of Torrington, the company reorganized two of its reportable segments - the Automotive and Industrial Groups. Timken's auto- motive aftermarket business is now part of the Industrial Group, which is managing the combined distribution operations. The company's sales to emerging markets, principally in central and eastern Europe and Asia, previously were reported as part of the Industrial Group. Beginning in the first quarter of 2003, emerging market sales to automotive original equipment manufacturers are now included in the Automotive Group. The primary measurement used by manage- ment to measure the financial performance of each Group is adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) excluding special items such as restructuring, reorganization and integration costs, one-time gains or losses on sales of assets and allocated payments received under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA). The segment results that follow for both 2003 and 2002 reflect the reporting reorganization described above.
Due to the integration of Torrington and Timken activities, it will become increasingly difficult in future reporting periods to separate Torrington's contribution to the consolidated results.
Automotive Group
The Automotive Group includes sales of bearings and products and services other than steel to automotive original equipment manufacturers. Global Automotive Group sales for the first quarter of 2003 increased 62.6% to $298.1 million from $183.4 million in the first quarter of 2002. While the Torrington acquisition accounts for the majority of the sales increase, North American automotive demand remained strong during the first quarter of 2003. In the passenger car
18. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
and light truck segments, expanded incentives have supported relatively robust vehicle sales levels. European automotive markets have softened, however, as overall economic activity there remains stagnant. The company expects continued strength in the North American automotive market and some modest improvements in Europe for 2003.
The Automotive Group had adjusted EBIT of $8.9 million compared to $7.5 million in 2002's first quarter. This increase was due to the Torrington acquisition and new product introductions. However, the Automotive Group's results were negatively affected by pricing pressures, higher pension and benefit expenses and the continued impact of inefficiencies related to MSI.
In the first quarter of 2003, the Automotive Group's selling, administrative and general expenses were approximately 14% higher compared to the same period a year ago. This was primarily the result of the additional selling, admini- strative and general expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Torrington, as well as Torrington's selling, administrative and general expenses for the six-week period since the acquisition. In addition, the first quarter of 2003 also reflects higher expenses associated with the impact of currency exchange rates and new product development.
Industrial Group
The Industrial Group has global sales of bearings and products and services other than steel to a diverse customer base. These include: industrial equip- ment, off-highway, rail and aerospace and defense customers. The Industrial Group also includes the financial results for Timken's distribution operations for products other than steel. The Industrial Group's net sales were $305.0 million, an increase of 30.8% over the first quarter 2002 net sales of $233.2 million. The acquisition of Torrington was the primary contributor to the sales increase, which was also favorably impacted by currency exchange rates. Overall in the first quarter of 2003, industrial demand continued to be flat with limited signs of near-term improvement. Although rail markets continue to be depressed, there has been some improvement in demand over 2002 levels. Demand by aerospace customers, led by defense, has shown improvement in the first quarter of 2003, while commercial demand remains weak. Also, demand in the distribution sector of the Industrial Group has improved from 2002 levels. This improvement takes into account inventory balancing as inventories are brought more in line with demand. For the remainder of 2003, the company expects some modest improvement in industrial markets.
For the first quarter of 2003, Industrial Group adjusted EBIT was $17.8 million, up from $11.1 million in first quarter of 2002. The increase in adjusted EBIT reflected improved performance in the distribution business, favorable currency exchange rates and the benefits of MSI. Partially offsetting these benefits were continued weakness in industrial demand and increased costs for energy, pension and benefits.
In the first quarter of 2003, the Industrial Group's selling, administrative and general expenses were 27% higher than in the same period a year ago. This was primarily the result of additional selling, administrative and general expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Torrington, as well as Torrington's selling, administrative and general expenses for the six-week
19. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
period since the acquisition, and the impact of currency exchange rates.
Steel Group
The Steel Group's net sales, including intersegment sales, increased 15.7% to $275.8 million from $238.4 million a year ago. All of the Steel Group's market segments, except aerospace, were stronger than the weak first quarter of 2002. Sales to automotive and general industrial customers in the first quarter of 2003 increased 8.9% and 45.7%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago. Sales to bearing customers increased 9.5% in the first quarter of 2003, compared to the first quarter of 2002. First quarter 2003 oil country sales more than doubled from the same period a year ago, although these sales represent a small percentage of Steel Group sales. Shipments to steel service centers and tool steel customers were better than the first quarter of 2002, but continue to be weak as a result of the low overall industrial production. The aerospace sector continues to be weak as a majority of the Steel Group demand relates to commercial airline applications. The company expects auto- motive steel demand to remain strong for the rest of the year and sales to industrial customers to improve modestly.
Adjusted EBIT for the Steel Group was $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2003, a decrease from $12.1 million in the same period a year ago. While overall demand was stronger in the first quarter of 2003, the Steel Group experienced significant increases in the costs of raw materials and energy and higher costs for pension and benefits. Going forward, surcharges and price increases are expected to partially cover the increases in raw material and energy costs. However, since the surcharges and announced price increases lag behind cost increases, pressure on Steel Group margins is expected to continue in 2003. The company expects 2003 raw material and energy costs to continue to be high compared to 2002, but expects some reduction from first quarter 2003 levels in the second half of the year.
Selling, administrative and general expenses for the Steel Group in the first quarter of 2003 were comparable to the first quarter of 2002.
Financial Condition and Cash Flows - ----------------------------------
Total assets as shown on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets increased by approximately $1.1 billion from December 31, 2002. The majority of this increase related to the acquisition of Torrington, which was purchased for $840 million, plus expenses, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.
Inventory balances at the end of the first quarter 2003 increased approximately 51% compared to year-end 2002 levels. Although the Steel Group inventory balance decreased as a result of managing production in accordance with demand and the change in the sales mix between bars and tubing, this was more than offset by the increase in the Automotive and Industrial Groups' inventory balances in the first quarter of 2003. The increase in these inventories was primarily due to the Torrington acquisition and the impact of currency exchange rate changes. The March 31, 2003 inventory balance includes a write-up of $14 million to reflect the fair value of the acquired Torrington inventory. In addition, Automotive Group inventory levels increased as a result of the
20. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
anticipated changes in customer demand and capacity constraints arising from the manufacturing rationalization. Accounts receivable have increased by $242.0 million since December 31, 2002. The increase is due primarily to the acquisition of Torrington, which accounted for approximately $194 million of the increase. In addition, the higher sales levels in the first quarter of 2003 as well as the impact of currency contributed to the increased accounts receivable level.
Intangible assets increased $15.4 million from $5.2 million at December 31, 2002, primarily as a result of intangible assets acquired in the Torrington acquisition. Other assets increased by $140.0 million to $260.6 million as of March 31, 2003 due principally to other assets acquired in the acquisition of Torrington. These amounts are based on the preliminary purchase price allocation that will be finalized during 2003 as asset valuations are completed. The company, prior to the Torrington acquisition, owned equity interests in certain joint ventures. As part of the Torrington acquisition, several additional equity interests were acquired. Certain of these equity interests include: Advanced Green Components, LLC, a supplier of forged and machined rings for bearing manufacture; Timken-NSK Bearings (Suzhou) Co. Ltd., a joint venture which positions the company to provide tapered roller bearings from a facility under construction in China; International Components Supply, Limitada, a joint venture which produces forged and turned steel rings in Brazil; Bardella Timken Industrial Services, a joint venture which expands the technical services the company provides to rolling mill customers in Brazil; Torrington Wuxi Bearings Company, a manufacturing joint venture in China; S.E. SETCO Service Company, a joint venture which repairs and rebuilds machine tool spindles; NRB Bearings Limited, a manufacturing and marketing joint venture in India; and PEL Technologies, LLC, a joint venture in the United States that has developed a proprietary technology which converts iron units into engineered iron oxides for use in pigments, coatings and abrasives. The balances related to investments accounted for under the equity method are reflected in other assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, which were approximately $131.6 million and $25.1 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Equity investments are reviewed for impairment when circum- stances (such as lower than expected financial performance or change in strategic direction) indicate that the net book value of the investment may not be recoverable. If an impairment does exist, the equity investment is written down to its fair value with a corresponding charge to the statement of operations.
Accounts payable and other liabilities increased $92.8 million from $296.5 million at December 31, 2002 as a direct result of payables assumed in the acquisition of Torrington, as well as timing of payments to suppliers. Accrued expenses increased from $52.6 million to $279.0 million primarily as a result of amounts assumed in the acquisition of Torrington.
Long-term accrued pension cost and postretirement benefits cost increased by $30.6 million and $82.0 million, respectively, from $723.2 million and $411.3 million at December 31, 2002, respectively, primarily due to the additional liability incurred for plans related to active employees as a result of the Torrington acquisition.
21. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
As shown on the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows, the increase in inventories used $22.5 million of cash during the first three months of 2003. The increase in accounts receivable used $54.6 million of cash during the first quarter of 2003. Also, $10.2 million of cash was used as a result of the increase in other assets. The increase in other assets relates primarily to the increase in sundry receivables for expenses related to Torrington that will be reimbursed to Timken during the second quarter of 2003. Accounts payable and accrued expenses generated $54.0 million of cash in the first three months of 2003, primarily as a result of increased payables resulting from Torrington since the date of acquisition and the timing of payments to suppliers. In addition, accrued expenses were affected by the timing of pension contributions made in the first quarter of 2003, compared to the first quarter of 2002. Capital expenditures used $23.0 million of cash in the first three months of 2003, compared to $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2002. The company expects capital expenditures to continue to be higher in 2003 as a result of the Torrington acquisition and new product development.
The 51.4% debt-to-total-capital ratio at March 31, 2003 was higher than the 43.1% at year-end 2002. Total debt increased by $535.5 million during the first three months, to $996.7 million at March 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to the $520 million of debt incurred as a result of the Torrington acquisition. The components of the debt resulting from the acquisition were: $250 million of seven-year unsecured notes; $145 million drawn from the new $500 million five-year senior credit facility; and a $125 million asset securi- tization facility put in place at the end of 2002 and drawn down in full in connection with the Torrington acquisition, which is now included in short-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Proceeds from the acquisition financing were also used to repay outstanding commercial paper at the date of the acquisition. The remaining increase in debt was used to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The company expects that any cash require- ments in excess of cash generated from operating activities will be met by the remaining availability under the senior credit facility.
The company's contractual debt obligations and contractual commitments outstand- ing as of March 31, 2003 are as follows (in millions): Payments Due by Period Total Less than 1 1-3 years 4-5 After 5 year years years ------- ----------- --------- ------- ------- Long-term Debt $628.9 $25.8 $103.7 $8.3 $491.1 Senior Credit Facility $175.0 - - $175.0 - Asset Securitization $125.0 $125.0 - - - Other Lines of Credit $67.8 $67.8 - - - Operating Leases $50.2 $12.2 $18.7 $5.4 $13.9 Supply Agreement $25.9 $8.5 $12.8 $4.6 -
22. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The company's capital lease obligations are immaterial. At March 31, 2003, the company had available $284.3 million through a $500 million five-year senior credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions. The availability under the senior credit facility was reduced by $40.7 million in outstanding letters of credit. The company's previous senior credit facility of $300 million, which would have expired in June of 2003, was terminated in February of 2003 in connection with the Torrington acquisition. Proceeds from the new senior credit facility were also used to repay commercial paper outstanding as of the acquisition date. The company is also the guarantor of $27.5 million in debt for Pel Technologies, LLC, an equity investment of the company, and also guarantees the operating lease of a subsidiary's warehouse facility. This obligation was $16.5 million at March 31, 2003. In connection with the Ashland plant sale in 2002, the company entered into a $25.9 million four-year supply agreement, which expires on June 30, 2006.
Total shareholders' equity increased by approximately $332 million since December 31, 2002, primarily the result of the issuance of 22 million shares valued at approximately $320 million to finance the Torrington acquisition. Other significant factors affecting shareholders' equity were an increase in net income of $11.3 million, a favorable non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $9.1 million and the payment of $8.3 million in dividends. The first quarter of 2003 shareholders' equity was positively impacted by the effect of currency exchange rates, primarily due to the strength of the Euro.
During the first quarter of 2003, the company did not purchase any shares of its common stock to be held in treasury as authorized under the company's 2000 common stock purchase plan. This plan authorizes the company to buy in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions up to four million shares of common stock, which are to be held as treasury shares and used for specified purposes. The company may exercise this authorization until December 31, 2006. The company does not expect to be active in repurchasing shares under this plan in the near-term.
Other Information - -----------------
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, other than Timken Romania, which is considered to operate in a highly inflationary economy, are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the quarter. Related translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions and the translation of financial statements are included in the consolidated results of operations.
Foreign currency exchange losses included in the company's operating results for the first quarter of 2003 totaled $0.4 million, compared to $0.6 million in the same year-ago period. Also, for the first three months of 2003, the company recorded a positive non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $9.1 million that increased shareholders' equity, compared to a negative non- cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $2.4 million that reduced shareholders' equity in the first three months of 2002. The first quarter of 2003 was positively impacted by the effect of currency exchange rates,
23. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
primarily the strength of the Euro.
On April 15, 2003, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share, payable June 3, 2003 to shareholders of record as of May 16, 2003. This will be the 324th consecutive dividend paid on the common stock of the company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - --------------------------------
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recog- nized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 has no effect on charges recorded for exit activities begun prior to this date. The company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of Interpretation 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to pre-existing entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. Implementation of Interpre- tation 46 may require the company to consolidate certain equity investments.

The company is currently evaluating the impact of Interpretation 46 on the financial statements of the company.
Certain statements set forth in this document (including the company's forecasts, beliefs and expectations) that are not historical in nature are "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The company cautions readers that actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the company due to a variety of important factors, such as:
