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, 2004.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts reported in the 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.
Note 2 -- Stock-Based Compensation
The company utilizes the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." 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, if the exercise price of the company'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 and earnings per share as if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 is as follows:
Six months ended Three months ended June 30 June 30 2005 2004 2005 2004 -------- -------- -------- -------- (Thousands of dollars) Net income, as reported $125,569 $ 53,811 $ 67,334 $ 25,341

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.
Note 4 -- Financing Arrangements Jun 30 Dec 31 2005 2004 Short-term debt: -------- -------- (Thousands of dollars) Variable-rate lines of credit for certain of the company's European subsidiaries with various banks with interest rates ranging from 2.17% to 5.75% at June 30, 2005 $ 82,450 $109,260 Variable-rate Accounts Receivable Securitization financing agreement with an interest rate of 3.57% at June 30, 2005 100,000 - Variable-rate Ohio Water Development Authority revenue bonds for PEL (2.37% at June 30, 2005) 23,000 23,000 Fixed-rate mortgage for PEL with an interest rate of 9.00% 11,561 11,561 Other 14,710 13,596 -------- -------- $231,721 $157,417 ======== ========
Refer to Note 10 - Equity Investments for a discussion of PEL's debts, which are included above.
Borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization financing agreement (Asset Securitization), which provides for borrowings up to $125 million subject to certain borrowing base limitations, are 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 June 30, 2005, there was $100.0 million outstanding under this facility, which reduced the availability to $25.0 million. This balance is reflected on the company's consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 in short-term debt. 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 income.
The lines of credit of the company's European subsidiaries provide for borrowings up to $128.6 million. At June 30, 2005, the company had outstanding borrowings of $82.5 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $46.1 million.

On June 30, 2005, the company entered into a $500 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) that replaced the company's previous credit agreement dated as of December 31, 2002. The Credit Agreement matures on June 30, 2010 and provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility. Under this credit facility, the company has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At June 30, 2005, the company was in compliance with the covenants under this credit facility and its other debt agreements.
At June 30, 2005, the company had no borrowings and letters of credit totaling $77.1 million outstanding under the $500 million revolving credit facility, which reduced the availability under that facility to $422.9 million.

Note 5 -- Income Tax Provision Six Months Ended Three Months Ended Jun 30 Jun 30 Jun 30 Jun 30 2005 2004 2005 2004 -------- -------- -------- -------- U.S. (Thousands of dollars) Federal $ 56,428 $ 20,507 $ 28,490 $ 9,445 State & Local 5,044 1,576 2,436 355 Foreign 5,522 10,898 3,354 5,731 -------- -------- -------- ------- $ 66,994 $ 32,981 $ 34,280 $ 15,531 ======== ======== ======== ========
The effective tax rates were 33.7% and 38.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 34.8% and 38.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the effective tax rate was less than the U.S. statutory tax rate due primarily to beneficial foreign tax rates, tax holidays and other U.S. tax benefits. These benefits were partially offset by losses at certain foreign operations that were not available to reduce overall tax expense, taxes paid to state and local jurisdictions, tax on foreign remittances and other permanent differences.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the effective tax rate exceeded the U.S. statutory tax rate as a result of losses at certain foreign operations that were not available to reduce overall tax expense, taxes paid to state and local jurisdictions, tax on foreign remittances and other permanent differences. These unfavorable items were partially offset by beneficial foreign tax rates, tax holidays and other U.S. tax benefits.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended 2005 decreased from the same period in 2004 due primarily to certain tax planning strategies that resulted in lower foreign tax rates and higher earnings generated in low tax-rate foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by settlement of prior years' liabilities.
On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Act"). The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued guidance related to the domestic reinvestment plans on January 13, 2005 and May 10, 2005. However, uncertainty remains on other provisions of the Act. Based on our current analysis, the company anticipates that the range of possible amounts that it will repatriate to be between $8 million and $130 million. An estimated tax liability of $11 million would be incurred on the repatriation of $130 million. As of June 30, 2005, the company has provided for income tax of $2.8 million on $8 million of dividends from its controlled foreign corporations.

In May 2004, the company announced a plan to begin closing its three bearing plants in Canton, Ohio. In June 2004, the company and the United Steelworkers of America (union) began the effects bargaining process. In July 2004, the company and the union agreed to enter into early formal negotiations over the current labor contract that expires on September 25, 2005 and covers approximately 2,700 associates at the company's bearing and steel plants in Ohio. In June 2005, a proposed labor agreement between the company and the union was rejected by the union membership. Because the company and the union are still in discussions, it is not possible to accurately estimate the timing and impact on employment or the magnitude of savings and charges for restructuring, which could be material. Therefore, the company is unable to determine the impact of these plant closings in accordance with SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities."
In July 2005, the company disclosed that it will announce detailed restructuring plans for its Automotive Group in the third quarter of 2005. The company has determined that restructuring actions are necessary to improve the Automotive Group's performance. The company expects the plans, which are intended to reduce fixed costs and improve effectiveness, to require approximately two years for completion. These restructuring actions are targeted to deliver annual savings of approximately $40 million, with expected net workforce reductions of approximately 400 to 500 positions and restructuring costs of approximately $80 million to $90 million. The company will account for these restructuring costs in future quarters in accordance with the applicable accounting pronouncements.

PART I. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 15. Continued
Amortization expense for intangible assets was approximately $2.4 million and $4.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and is estimated to be approximately $8.6 million annually for the next five fiscal years.
Note 10 - Equity Investments
The balances related to investments accounted for under the equity method are reported in other assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, which were approximately $28.2 million and $29.8 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
Equity investments are reviewed for impairment when circumstances (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.
During 2000, the company's Steel Group invested in a joint venture, PEL Technologies (PEL), to commercialize a proprietary technology that converts iron units into engineered iron oxides for use in pigments, coatings and abrasives. The company concluded that PEL is a variable interest entity and that the company is the primary beneficiary. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51," (FIN 46), the company consolidated PEL effective March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 resulted in a charge, representing the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, of $0.9 million, which is reported in other expense on the consolidated statement of income. Also, the adoption of FIN 46 increased the consolidated condensed balance sheet as follows: current assets by $1.7 million; property, plant and equipment by $11.3 million; short-term debt by $11.6 million; accounts payable and other liabilities by $0.6 million; and other non-current liabilities by $1.7 million. All of PEL's assets are pledged as collateral for its obligations. Except for PEL's indebtedness for which the company is a guarantor, PEL's creditors have no recourse to the general credit of the company. The company is the guarantor of certain debt for PEL. During 2003, the company recorded the aggregate amount outstanding at that time on the debt underlying these guarantees. The amount outstanding at June 30, 2005 of PEL's debt guaranteed by the company is $23.0 million, which is reported as short-term debt on the consolidated condensed balance sheet.

17. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW - --------
Introduction:
The Timken Company is a leading global manufacturer of highly engineered antifriction bearings and alloy steels and a provider of related products and services. Timken operates under three segments: Industrial Group, Automotive Group and Steel Group.
The Industrial and Automotive Groups design, manufacture and distribute a range of bearings and related products and services. Industrial Group customers include both original equipment manufacturers and distributors for agriculture, construction, mining, energy, mill, machine tooling, aerospace, and rail applications. The Industrial Group also includes aftermarket distribution operations, including automotive applications, for products other than steel. Automotive Group customers include original equipment manufacturers of passenger cars, light trucks, and medium- to heavy-duty trucks and their suppliers. Steel Group products include steels of intermediate alloy, low alloy and carbon grades in both solid and tubular sections, as well as custom-made steel products, for both industrial and automotive applications, including bearings.
Financial Overview:
For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Timken Company reported net sales of approximately $1.3 billion, an increase of approximately 17 percent from the second quarter of 2004. Sales were higher across all three business segments. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, earnings per diluted share were $0.73, compared to $0.28 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2004.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net sales were approximately $2.6 billion, an increase of approximately 18 percent from the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, earnings per diluted share were $1.37, compared to $0.60 for the same period last year.
The company benefited from continued strength in global industrial markets, leading to improved performance in the Industrial and Steel Groups. The Automotive Group's results reflected the relative weakness of the North American automotive industry and high raw material costs.
Demand in the Industrial Group's end markets continued to be strong, with the most significant growth in industrial distribution, rail, mining and agriculture. In addition to strong market demand, results reflect the benefits of the company's focus on profitable growth through new products and market expansion. Profitability improved due to increased volume, favorable mix and improved pricing.
The Automotive Group's net sales increased from last year due to higher sales into medium and heavy truck markets, partially offset by decreases in light vehicle markets. The Automotive Group's profitability was negatively impacted by higher raw material costs and lower production volume of light vehicles, partially offset by improved pricing.
The Steel Group benefited from strong performance in both its alloy steel and specialty steel businesses. The increase in the Steel Group's net sales over
18. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
last year was due to higher volume, price increases and surcharges. The strongest market sectors were aerospace, energy and general industrial. The Steel Group's improved profitability reflects increased volume, price increases, surcharges and continued high labor productivity.

The Industrial Group's net sales increased due to stronger demand in most end markets, especially industrial distribution, rail, mining and agriculture. The
19. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Automotive Group's net sales increased due to higher sales of medium and heavy trucks, partially offset by lower sales of light vehicles. The increase in the Steel Group's net sales over last year was due to higher volume, price increases and surcharges. The strongest market sectors for the Steel Group were aerospace, energy and general industrial.
Gross Profit: 2Q 2005 2Q 2004 $ Change % Change ------- ------- --------- -------- (Dollars in millions) Gross profit $276.8 $205.6 $71.2 34.6% Gross profit % to net sales 20.9% 18.2% - 2.7% Manufacturing rationalization / integration / reorganization charges included in cost of products sold $ 6.0 $ 1.0 $ 5.0 500.0%
YTD 2005 YTD 2004 $ Change % Change -------- -------- --------- -------- (Dollars in millions) Gross profit $548.7 $408.1 $140.6 34.4% Gross profit % to net sales 20.9% 18.3% - 2.6% Manufacturing rationalization / integration / reorganization charges included in cost of products sold $ 7.2 $ 2.4 $ 4.8 200.0%
Gross profit benefited from higher sales volume, price increases, surcharges and favorable sales mix. Gross profit was negatively impacted by higher raw material costs, lower production volume for North American passenger cars and higher costs in the Automotive Group to run certain facilities that serve the heavy truck and industrial markets beyond their economic capacity. The company recovered a significant portion of the raw material cost increases through price increases and surcharges.
In 2005, manufacturing rationalization/integration/reorganization charges related to the start of the rationalization of the company's Canton, Ohio bearing facilities and integration/reorganization costs for certain facilities acquired as part of the Torrington acquisition in February 2003. In 2004, manufacturing rationalization/integration/reorganization charges related primarily to expenses associated with the integration of Torrington.
Selling, Administrative and General Expenses:
2Q 2005 2Q 2004 $ Change % Change ------- ------- --------- -------- (Dollars in millions) Selling, administrative and general expenses $161.7 $147.4 $14.3 9.7% Selling, administrative and general expenses % to net sales 12.2% 13.0% - (0.8)% Manufacturing rationalization / integration / reorganization charges included in selling, administrative and general expenses $ 0.3 $ 6.3 $(6.0) (95.2)%

The increase in selling, administrative and general expenses in 2005 compared to 2004 was due primarily to higher accruals for performance-based compensation and costs for growth initiatives, partially offset by lower manufacturing rationalization/integration/reorganization charges. The decrease between periods in the percentage of selling, administrative and general expenses to net sales was primarily the result of the company's ability to leverage expenses on higher sales.
In 2005, the manufacturing rationalization/integration/reorganization charges related to the start of the rationalization of the company's Canton, Ohio bearing facilities. In 2004, the manufacturing rationalization/integration/ reorganization charges related primarily to expenses associated with the integration of Torrington, primarily for information technology and purchasing initiatives.
Impairment and Restructuring Charges:

In 2004, restructuring charges related primarily to severance and related benefit costs for associates who exited the company as a result of the integration of Torrington.
In May 2004, the company announced a plan to begin closing its three bearing plants in Canton, Ohio. In June 2004, the company and the United Steelworkers of America (union) began the effects bargaining process. In July 2004, the company and the union agreed to enter into early formal negotiations over the
21. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
current labor contract that expires on September 25, 2005 and covers approximately 2,700 associates at the company's bearing and steel plants in Ohio. In June 2005, a proposed labor agreement between the company and the union was rejected by the union membership. Because the company and the union are still in discussions, it is not possible to accurately estimate the timing and impact on employment or the magnitude of savings and charges for restructuring, which could be material. Therefore, the company is unable to determine the impact of these plant closings in accordance with SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities."
Interest Expense and Income:
2Q 2005 2Q 2004 $ Change ------- ------- --------- (Dollars in millions) Interest expense $13.8 $11.9 $1.9 Interest income $ 0.7 $ 0.2 $0.5
YTD 2005 YTD 2004 $ Change -------- -------- --------- (Dollars in millions) Interest expense $26.5 $23.3 $3.2 Interest income $ 1.3 $ 0.4 $0.9
Interest expense for 2005 increased compared to last year due to higher effective interest rates and higher average debt outstanding.

22. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
For the three months ended June 30, 2005, other expense included a gain on the sale of non-strategic assets, losses from equity investments, donations, minority interests, losses on the disposal of assets and foreign currency exchange gains. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, other expense included losses from equity investments, foreign currency exchange losses, donations, minority interests and losses on the disposal of assets. The decrease in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period of 2004 was due primarily to a gain on the sale of non-strategic assets in 2005, lower losses from equity investments in 2005 and foreign currency gains in 2005, compared to a foreign currency losses in 2004.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, other expense included a gain on the sale of non-strategic assets, losses from equity investments, donations, losses on the disposal of assets, minority interests and foreign currency exchange losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, other expense included losses from equity investments, foreign currency exchange losses, losses on the disposal of assets, donations and minority interests. Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 also included the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" (FIN 46). The decrease in other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period of 2004 was due primarily to lower losses from equity investments in 2005, a gain on the sale of non-strategic assets in 2005, lower foreign currency exchange losses in 2005, lower losses on the disposals of assets in 2005 and the adoption of FIN 46 in 2004, partially offset by higher donations in 2005.
U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) receipts are reported net of applicable expenses. CDSOA provides for distribution of monies collected by U.S. Customs from antidumping cases to qualifying domestic producers where the domestic producers have continued to invest in their technology, equipment and people. The $7.7 million received in the first quarter of 2004 related to Torrington's bearing business. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement under which the company purchased Torrington, Timken delivered to the seller of the Torrington business 80% of the CDSOA payments received in 2004 for Torrington's bearing business. Timken is under no further obligation to transfer any CDSOA payments to the seller of the Torrington business. The company cannot predict whether it will receive any additional payments under CDSOA in 2005 or, if so, in what amount. If the company does receive any additional CDSOA payments, they will most likely be received in the fourth quarter. In September 2002, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that such payments are inconsistent with international trade rules. The U.S. Trade Representative appealed this ruling, but the WTO upheld the ruling on January 16, 2003. CDSOA continues to be in effect in the United States at this time.
Income Tax Expense:
2Q 2005 2Q 2004 $ Change % Change ------- ------- --------- -------- (Dollars in millions) Income tax expense $34.3 $15.5 $18.8 121.3% Effective tax rate 33.7% 38.0% - (4.3)%

In 2005, the effective tax rate was less than the U.S. statutory tax rate due primarily to beneficial foreign tax rates, tax holidays and other U.S. tax benefits. These benefits were partially offset by losses at certain foreign operations that were not available to reduce overall tax expense, taxes paid to state and local jurisdictions, tax on foreign remittances and other permanent differences.
In 2004, the effective tax rate exceeded the U.S. statutory tax rate as a result of losses at certain foreign operations that were not available to reduce overall tax expense, taxes paid to state and local jurisdictions, tax on foreign remittances and other permanent differences. These unfavorable items were partially offset by beneficial foreign tax rates, tax holidays and other U.S. tax benefits.
The effective tax rate for 2005 decreased from 2004 due primarily to certain tax planning strategies that resulted in lower foreign tax rates and higher earnings generated in low tax-rate foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by settlement of prior years' liabilities.
Business Segments:
The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each Group is adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes, excluding the effect of amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations such as impairment and restructuring, manufacturing rationalization/integration/reorganization costs, allocated receipts received under the CDSOA and gain on the sale of non-strategic assets). Refer to Note 8 - Segment Information in the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements for the reconciliation of adjusted EBIT by Group to consolidated income before income taxes.

Sales by the Industrial Group include global sales of bearings and other products and services (other than steel) to a diverse customer base, including: industrial equipment; construction and agriculture; rail; and aerospace and defense customers. The Industrial Group also includes aftermarket distribution operations, including automotive applications, for products other than steel. The Industrial Group's net sales increased due to stronger demand in most end markets, especially industrial distribution, rail, mining and agriculture. In addition to strong market demand, results reflect the benefit of the company's focus on profitable growth through new products and market expansion. Profitability improved due to increased volume, favorable mix and improved pricing. The Industrial Group continues to focus on improving capacity utilization, product availability and customer service in response to strong industrial demand. For the remainder of 2005, the company expects the Industrial Group to benefit from continued strength in global industrial markets.

The Automotive Group includes sales of bearings and other products and services (other than steel) to automotive original equipment manufacturers and their suppliers. The Automotive Group's net sales increased due to higher sales of medium and heavy trucks, partially offset by lower sales of light vehicles.
25. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The Automotive Group's profitability was negatively impacted by higher raw material costs and lower production volume of light vehicles, partially offset by improved pricing. Additionally, the Automotive Group incurred higher costs to run certain facilities that serve the heavy truck and industrial markets beyond their economic capacity. The Automotive Group continues to make progress in its ability to recover higher raw material costs through price increases. The company expects the Automotive Group's profitability in the second half of 2005 to improve from the first half of 2005. However, the company expects the Automotive Group's profitability in 2005 to be lower than 2004.
Steel Group: 2Q 2005 2Q 2004 $ Change % Change ------- ------- --------- -------- (Dollars in millions) Net sales, including intersegment sales $445.3 $330.4 $114.9 34.8% Adjusted EBIT $ 56.7 $ 3.0 $ 53.7 1,790.0% Adjusted EBIT margin 12.7% 0.9% - 11.8%

The Steel Group's products include steels of intermediate alloy, low alloy and carbon grades in both solid and tubular sections, as well as custom-made steel products, for both industrial and automotive applications, including bearings. The increase in the Steel Group's net sales over last year was due to higher volume, price increases and surcharges. The strongest market sectors for the Steel Group were aerospace, energy and general industrial. The Steel Group's improved profitability reflects increased volume, price increases, surcharges and productivity. During the second quarter of 2005, the Steel Group also benefited from the new continuous rolling mill at its specialty steel operation in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. The Steel Group's profitability in the second quarter of 2004 was negatively impacted by $7.7 million for the unplanned shutdown of the Faircrest steel plant. During 2005, the Steel Group's results benefited from scrap surcharges in excess of costs. The company does not expect this trend to continue. For the remainder of 2005, the company expects the Steel Group to benefit from continued strength in global industrial markets. The company expects profitability for the Steel Group in the second half of 2005 to be lower than the first half of 2005 due to seasonality and lower raw material surcharges.
THE BALANCE SHEET - -----------------
Total assets as shown on the consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2005 increased by $171.9 million from December 31, 2004. This increase was due primarily to increased working capital required to support higher sales.

06/30/05 12/31/04 $ Change % Change -------- -------- -------- -------- (Dollars in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 67.0 $ 51.0 $ 16.0 31.4% Accounts receivable, net 808.2 717.4 90.8 12.7% Deferred income taxes 91.0 90.1 0.9 1.0% Inventories 963.9 874.8 89.1 10.2% -------- -------- -------- -------- Total current assets $1,930.1 $1,733.3 $196.8 11.4% ======== ======== ======== ========
The increase in cash and cash equivalents was partially due to accumulated cash at certain debt-free foreign subsidiaries. The increase in accounts receivable was due primarily to sales being higher in the second quarter of 2005, compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in inventories was due primarily to higher volume and increased raw material costs, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Net:
06/30/05 12/31/04 $ Change % Change -------- -------- -------- --------- (Dollars in millions) Property, plant and equipment - cost $3,573.9 $3,622.6 $(48.7) (1.3)% Less: allowances for depreciation (2,051.3) (2,039.2) (12.1) (0.6)% -------- -------- -------- --------- Property, plant and equipment - net $1,522.6 $1,583.4 $(60.8) (3.8)% ======== ======== ======== =========
The decrease in property, plant and equipment - net was due primarily to depreciation expense in excess of capital expenditures and the impact of foreign currency translation.
Other Assets: 06/30/05 12/31/04 $ Change % Change -------- -------- -------- --------- (Dollars in millions) Goodwill $188.0 $189.3 $(1.3) (0.7)% Other intangible assets 174.8 179.0 (4.2) (2.3)% Deferred income taxes 85.3 76.8 8.5 11.1% Other assets 185.1 152.3 32.8 21.5% -------- -------- -------- --------- Total other assets $633.2 $597.4 $35.8 6.0% ======== ======== ======== =========
The increase in other assets was due primarily to an increase in the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts, increase in miscellaneous receivables and the timing of payment of prepaid expenses.
27. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Current Liabilities: 06/30/05 12/31/04 $ Change % Change -------- -------- -------- --------- (Dollars in millions) Short-term debt $ 232.5 $ 158.7 $ 73.8 46.5% Accounts payable and other liabilities 518.4 504.6 13.8 2.7% Accrued expenses 437.6 353.6 84.0 23.8% -------- -------- -------- --------- Total current liabilities $1,188.5 $1,016.9 $ 171.6 16.9% ======== ======== ======== =========
The increase in short-term debt was due primarily to additional borrowings, mainly under the company's asset securitization facility, as a result of seasonal working capital requirements and cash contributions to its U.S.-based pension plans. The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities was due primarily to an increase in trade accounts payable resulting from increased volume. The increase in accrued expenses was due primarily to a reclassification from the long-term portion of accrued pension cost to the current portion based upon the company's estimate of contributions to its pension plans in the next twelve months and an increase in income taxes payable due to current year income tax expense.
Non-Current Liabilities: 06/30/05 12/31/04 $ Change % Change -------- -------- -------- --------- (Dollars in millions) Long-term debt $ 609.6 $ 620.6 $(11.0) (1.8)% Accrued pension cost 404.9 468.6 (63.7) (13.6)% Accrued postretirement benefits cost 495.0 490.4 4.6 0.9% Other non-current liabilities 45.8 47.7 (1.9) (4.0)% -------- -------- -------- --------- Total non-current liabilities $1,555.3 $1,627.3 $(72.0) (4.4)% ======== ======== ======== =========
The decrease in long-term debt related primarily to payments on borrowings under the company's senior credit facility. The decrease in accrued pension cost was due primarily to contributions to the company's U.S.-based pension plans during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the reclassification to the current portion of accrued pension cost, partially offset by current year accruals for pension expense.
Shareholders' Equity: 06/30/05 12/31/04 $ Change % Change -------- -------- -------- --------- (Dollars in millions) Common stock $ 728.4 $ 711.6 $16.8 2.4% Earnings invested in the business 945.9 847.7 98.2 11.6% Accumulated other comprehensive loss (332.1) (289.5) (42.6) (14.7)% -------- -------- -------- --------- Total shareholders' equity $1,342.2 $1,269.8 $72.4 5.7% ======== ======== ======== =========
28. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The increase in common stock was due primarily to stock option exercises by employees and the related income tax benefits. Earnings invested in the business were increased by net income and reduced by dividends declared. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss was due primarily to foreign currency translation and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. For discussion regarding the impact of foreign currency translation, refer to "Foreign Currency" in the Other Information section below. -----------------
CASH FLOWS - ----------- YTD 2005 YTD 2004 $ Change -------- --------- --------- (Dollars in millions) Net cash provided (used) by operating activities $ 36.2 $ (2.1) $ 38.3 Net cash used by investing activities (75.0) (63.4) (11.6) Net cash provided by financing activities 61.1 101.9 (40.8) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash (6.3) 2.4 (8.7) -------- --------- --------- Increase in cash and cash equivalents $ 16.0 $ 38.8 - ======== ======== =========
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $38.3 million was primarily the result of higher net income, adjusted for non-cash items of $103.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $111.1 million in the same period of 2004. The non-cash items include depreciation and amortization expense, gain or loss on disposals of assets, deferred income tax provision and amortization of restricted share awards. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net cash provided by operating activities was negatively impacted by working capital requirements for increased sales volume, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. Accounts receivable was a use of cash of $123.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to a use of cash of $103.7 million in the same period of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, inventory was a use of cash of $124.6 million, compared to a use of cash of $19.8 million in the same period of 2004. Excluding cash contributions to the company's pension plans, accounts payable and accrued expenses was a source of cash of $150.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to a source of cash of $89.3 million in the same period of 2004. The company made cash contributions to its U.S.-based pension plans in the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $73.2 million, compared to $124.0 million in the same period of 2004.
The increase in net cash used by investing activities was due primarily to higher capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period of 2004, partially offset by the net cash proceeds from the sale of the Industrial Group's Linear Motion Systems business.
The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to lower net borrowings under credit facilities in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period of 2004.
29. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - -------------------------------
Total debt was $842.1 million at June 30, 2005, compared to $779.3 million at December 31, 2004. Net debt was $775.1 million at June 30, 2005, compared to $728.4 million at December 31, 2004. The net debt to capital ratio was 36.6% at June 30, 2005, compared to 36.5% at December 31, 2004. The company expects that any cash requirements in excess of cash generated from operating activities will be met by the availability under the accounts receivable securitization facility and the revolving credit facility. The company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations.

* The company presents net debt because it believes net debt is more representative of the company's indicative financial position due to a temporary increase in cash and cash equivalents. This information is provided as additional information concerning the company's financial position.
30. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
At June 30, 2005, the company had no borrowings and letters of credit totaling $77.1 million outstanding under the $500 million revolving credit facility, which reduced the availability under that facility to $422.9 million. Also, at June 30, 2005, the company had outstanding borrowings of $100.0 million under the $125 million accounts receivable securitization facility, which reduced the availability under that facility to $25.0 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Moody's Investors Services improved their outlook on Timken debt from "negative" to "stable" and also reaffirmed their ratings of BBB- and Ba1, respectively.
The company's contractual debt obligations and contractual commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2005 are as follows:
Payments Due by Period (in millions) Total Less than 1-3 3-5 More than 1 Year Years Years 5 Years ------ --------- ------- ------ ---------- Contractual Obligations: Long-term debt $610.4 $ 0.8 $122.0 $250.4 $237.2 Short-term debt 231.7 231.7 - - - Operating Leases 100.1 18.8 30.9 17.2 33.2 Supply Agreement 4.6 4.6 - - - ------ --------- ------- ------ ---------- Total $946.8 $255.9 $152.9 $267.6 $270.4 ====== ========= ======= ====== ==========
The company expects to make cash contributions of $135.0 million to its global defined benefit plans in 2005. Also, the company expects its postretirement benefit payments will total $59.7 million in 2005. Refer to Note 13 to the company's consolidated financial statements in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for additional information regarding the company's benefit plans. In connection with the sale of the company's Ashland tooling plant in 2002, the company entered into a $25.9 million four-year supply agreement pursuant to which the company purchases tooling, which expires on June 30, 2006. This supply agreement is reflected in the table above. As of June 30, 2005, the weighted average maturity date and interest rate of the company's total debt were 8.3 years and 5.28%, respectively.
During the first six months of 2005, the company did not purchase any shares of its common stock 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 its shares under this plan in the near-term.
The company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

OTHER INFORMATION - ------------------
Foreign Currency:
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries 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 are included in the consolidated results of operations.
Foreign currency exchange gains included in the company's operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $3.7 million, compared to losses of $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Foreign currency exchange gains included in the company's operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $4.7 million, compared to losses of $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the company recorded a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $27.1 million that decreased shareholders' equity, compared to a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $9.2 million that decreased shareholders' equity in the three months ended June 30, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the company recorded a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $48.7 million that decreased shareholders' equity, compared to a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $12.9 million that decreased shareholders' equity in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The six months ended June 30, 2005 were negatively impacted by the effect of currency exchange rates, primarily the weakening of the Euro, Polish Zloty, Romanian Leu and South African Rand relative to the U.S. Dollar, compared to December 31, 2004.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4." SFAS No. 151 requires certain inventory costs to be recognized as current period expenses. SFAS No. 151 also provides guidance for the allocation of fixed production costs. This standard is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the company will adopt this standard in 2006. The company has determined that SFAS No. 151 will not have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment." SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and amends SFAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows." Generally, the approach to accounting for share- based payments in SFAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated statement of income based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 123R until the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted. The company expects to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006.
32. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
SFAS No. 123R permits public companies to adopt its requirements using either the "modified prospective" method or "modified retrospective" method. Under the "modified prospective" method, compensation cost is recognized, beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share- based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The "modified retrospective" method includes the requirements of the "modified prospective" method, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either all periods presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R using the "modified prospective" method.
As permitted by SFAS 123, the company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25's intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R's fair value method will have an impact on the company's results of operations, although it will have no impact on the company's overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the company adopted SFAS No. 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 1 to the company's consolidated financial statements in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. SFAS No. 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current accounting guidance. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions were $3.1 million, $1.1 million and $0 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:
The company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The company reviews its critical accounting policies throughout the year. The company has concluded that there have been no changes to its critical accounting policies or estimates, as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Other:
On August 5, 2005, the company's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, payable on September 2, 2005 to shareholders of record as of August 19, 2005. This will be the 333rd consecutive dividend paid on the common stock of the company.
33. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The company continues to evaluate the competitiveness of its operations and may from time to time determine to close those operations that are not competitive. The company may incur charges associated with the closure of such operations in future periods that may be material.
In May 2004, the company announced a plan to begin closing its three bearings plants in Canton, Ohio. In June 2004, the company and the United Steelworkers of America (union) began the effects bargaining process. In July 2004, the company and the union agreed to enter into early formal negotiations over the current labor contract, which expires in September 2005. In June 2005, a proposed labor agreement between the company and the union was rejected by the union membership. As of the date of this report, the company and the union are continuing to negotiate. If the company and the union are unable to reach early agreement, the company may experience negative effects, including the possible loss of future business due to uncertainty concerning the company's labor situation.
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:
a) changes in world economic conditions, including additional adverse effects from terrorism or hostilities. This includes, but is not limited to, political risks associated with the potential instability of governments and legal systems in countries in which the company or its customers conduct business and significant changes in currency valuations.
b) the effects of fluctuations in customer demand on sales, product mix and prices in the industries in which the company operates. This includes the ability of the company to respond to the rapid changes in the industrial market, the effects of customer strikes, the impact of changes in industrial and automotive business cycles and whether conditions of fair trade continue in the U.S. market.
c) the effects of adverse changes in the financial health of customers, including the ability of the company to limit its exposure to customers experiencing financial difficulty.
d) competitive factors, including changes in market penetration, increasing price competition by existing or new foreign and domestic competitors, the introduction of new products by existing and new competitors and new technology that may impact the way the company's products are sold or distributed.
34. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
e) changes in operating costs. This includes: the effect of changes in the company's manufacturing processes; changes in costs associated with varying levels of operations; higher cost and availability of raw materials and energy; the company's ability to mitigate the impact of higher material costs through surcharges and/or price increases; changes resulting from inventory management and cost reduction initiatives and different levels of customer demands; the effects of unplanned work stoppages; and changes in the cost of labor and benefits.
f) the success of the company's operating plans, including its ability to achieve the benefits from its manufacturing and administrative cost reduction initiatives as well as its ongoing continuous improvement and rationalization programs; and the ability of acquired companies to achieve satisfactory operating results.
g) the company's ability to maintain appropriate relations and successfully negotiate with unions that represent company associates in certain locations in order to avoid disruptions of business.
h) the success of the company's plans concerning the transfer of bearing production from Canton, including the possibility that the transfer of production will not achieve the desired results, the possibility of disruption in the supply of bearings during the process, and the outcome of the company's discussions with the union that represents company associates at the affected facilities.
i) the success of the company's plans concerning the restructuring of its Automotive Group.
j) unanticipated litigation, claims or assessments. This includes, but is not limited to, claims or problems related to intellectual property, product liability or warranty and environmental issues.
k) changes in worldwide financial markets, including interest rates, to the extent they affect the company's ability to raise capital or increase the company's cost of funds, have an impact on the overall performance of the company's pension fund investments and/or cause changes in the economy which affect customer demand.
Additional risks relating to the company's business, the industries in which the company operates or the company's common stock may be described from time to time in the company's filings with the SEC. All of these risk factors are difficult to predict, are subject to material uncertainties that may affect actual results and may be beyond the company's control.
Except as required by the federal securities laws, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

36. Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The company is normally involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The company is currently in discussions with the State of Ohio concerning a violation of Ohio air pollution control laws which was discovered by the company and voluntarily disclosed to the State of Ohio approximately eight years ago. Although no final settlement has been reached, the company believes that the final settlement will not be material to the company or have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
