Investor Presentation of Timken Company reported solid financial and strategic performance for the fiscal year 2024, reinforcing its status as a diversified industrial leader. The company recorded revenue of
$4.6 billion, a 4.1% decrease from 2023, primarily due to lower volumes and adverse foreign exchange impacts. Adjusted EBITDA stood at
$845 million, down from
$940 million in FY23, with EBITDA margins at a healthy 18.5%. Adjusted EPS came in at
$5.79. Despite the slight pullback in revenue, Timken maintained its profitability through disciplined pricing and strong performance from recent acquisitions. Its Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion segments each contributed nearly 20% adjusted EBITDA margins, reflecting product strength and operational efficiency.
Timken’s strategic evolution continues to be driven by its dual-segment model—Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion. The company has significantly diversified from its historical reliance on tapered roller bearings, now generating over a third of sales from non-tapered and motion-related products. The Industrial Motion segment alone has grown to
$1.5 billion in annual sales, propelled by organic initiatives and over
$2.5 billion in M&A investments over the last decade. Recent acquisitions like Spinea and CGI Robotics have expanded Timken’s reach into high-growth areas such as robotics and medical automation. This strategic pivot has enabled the company to deepen penetration into fragmented markets like automation, renewable energy, and industrial services, enhancing its aftermarket revenue streams and increasing margin resilience.
Looking ahead, Timken remains cautiously optimistic for FY25, forecasting a modest organic revenue decline of 1% at the midpoint. Headwinds are expected in Europe, with the Americas and Asia showing slight growth. The company’s capital allocation remains disciplined, targeting 100% free cash flow conversion and maintaining a leverage ratio of 1.5–2.5x net debt to adjusted EBITDA. In 2024, Timken generated
$305.6 million in free cash flow and reduced net debt by
$288 million. Shareholder returns were robust, marked by the 11th consecutive year of dividend increases and continued share repurchases. Timken’s long-term goals include 6–8% total revenue CAGR, >10% adjusted EPS CAGR, and 15%+ adjusted ROIC, reinforcing its vision to deliver sustained shareholder value through operational excellence, innovation, and a balanced growth strategy.
