NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated 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 notes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) 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 notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Certain amounts in the 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded two adjustments related to its 2008 Consolidated Financial Statements. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest increased by $6,100 (after-tax) due to a correction of an error related to the $18,385 goodwill impairment loss the Company recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 for the Mobile Industries segment. In recording this goodwill impairment loss, the Company did not recognize that a portion of the loss related to two separate subsidiaries in India and South Africa of which the Company holds less than 100% ownership. In addition, income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes decreased by $3,400, or $0.04 per share, ($2,044 after-tax or $0.02 per share) due to a correction of an error related to $3,400 of in-process research and development costs that were recorded in other current assets with the anticipation of being paid for by a third-party. However, the Company subsequently realized that the balance could not be substantiated through a contract with a third party. As a result of these errors, the Company’s first quarter 2009 results were overstated by $4,056 (after-tax). Management concluded the effect of these adjustments was immaterial to the Company’s 2008 and first-quarter 2009 financial statements as well as the full-year 2009 financial statements.

Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance that amended the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities. The implementation of the new accounting guidance related to variable interest entities, effective January 1, 2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Note 3 — Inventories

	March 31, 2010		December 31, 2009
Inventories, net:
Manufacturing supplies	$	56,187	$	53,022
Work in process and raw materials		298,652		269,075
Finished products		334,533		349,139
Total Inventories, net	$	689,372	$	671,236

An actual valuation of the inventory under the last-in, first-out (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 be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. The LIFO reserve at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $243,795 and $237,669, respectively. The Company’s recognized an increase in its LIFO reserve of $6,126 during the first quarter of 2010 compared to a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $11,832 during the first quarter of 2009.

Note 6 — Financing Arrangements

Short-term debt at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2010		2009
Variable-rate lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries with various banks with interest rates ranging from 1.98% to 4.86% and 1.98% to 5.05% at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively	$	29,958	$	26,345
Short-term debt	$	29,958	$	26,345

The lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries provide for borrowings up to $303,875. At March 31, 2010, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $29,958, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $273,917.

7

Note 6 — Financing Arrangements (continued)

The Company has a $100,000 Accounts Receivable Securitization Financing Agreement (Asset Securitization Agreement), which expires on November 15, 2010. Under the terms of the Asset Securitization Agreement, which expires on November 15, 2010, 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 borrowings, which are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial paper in the short-term market. Borrowings under this agreement are limited to certain borrowing base calculations. Any amounts outstanding under the Asset Securitization Agreement would be reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in short-term debt. Although the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Asset Securitization Agreement as of March 31, 2010, certain borrowing base limitations reduced the availability under the Asset Securitization Agreement to $97,096. The cost of this credit facility, which is the commercial paper rate plus program fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Long-term debt at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2010		2009

Less current maturities		14,679		17,035
Long-term debt	$	471,229	$	469,287

On September 9, 2009, the Company completed a public offering of $250,000 of fixed-rate 6.0% unsecured Senior Notes, due in 2014. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were used for the repayment of the Company’s fixed-rate 5.75% unsecured Senior Notes, which were due to mature on February 15, 2010.

On July 10, 2009, the Company entered into a new $500,000 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Senior Credit Facility). At March 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Senior Credit Facility but had letters of credit outstanding totaling $32,163, which reduced the availability under the Senior Credit Facility to $467,837. This Senior Credit Facility matures on July 10, 2012. Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has three financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio, a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a consolidated minimum tangible net worth test. At March 31, 2010, the Company was in full compliance with the covenants under the Senior Credit Facility.

Advanced Green Components, LLC (AGC) is a joint venture of the Company. The Company is the guarantor of $3,320 of AGC’s $9,440 credit facility with US Bank.

Note 7 — Product Warranty

The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products. The Company accrues liabilities for warranty policies based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty claim experience in accordance with accounting rules relating to contingent liabilities. The Company records and accounts for its warranty reserve based on specific claim incidents. Should the Company become aware of a specific potential warranty claim for which liability is probable and reasonably estimable, a specific charge is recorded and accounted for accordingly. Adjustments are made quarterly to the accruals as claim data and historical experience change.

The following is a rollforward of the warranty accruals for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2009:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2010			2009
Beginning balance, January 1	$	5,420		$	13,515
Expense		1,358			4,699
Payments		(783	)		(12,794	)
Ending balance	$	5,995		$	5,420

The product warranty accrual at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following discussion explains the major impairment and restructuring charges recorded for the periods presented; however, it is not intended to reflect a comprehensive discussion of all amounts in the tables above.

Selling and Administrative Reductions

In March 2009, the Company announced the realignment of its organization to improve efficiency and reduce costs as a result of the economic downturn. During the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded $1,348 and $2,307, respectively, of severance and related benefit costs related to this initiative to eliminate approximately 25 employees and 26 employees, respectively. Of the $1,348 charge recorded during the first quarter of 2010, $570 related to Corporate, $375 related to the Process Industries Segment, $292 related to the Mobile Industries segment, $90 related to the Aerospace and Defense segment and $21 related to the Steel segment. Of the $2,307 charge recorded during the first quarter of 2009, $1,200 related to Corporate, $472 related to the Mobile Industries segment, $446 related to the Steel segment, $180 related to the Process Industries segment and $9 related to the Aerospace and Defense segment.

Manufacturing Workforce Reductions

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded $3,319 in severance and related benefit costs to eliminate approximately 60 associates to properly align its business as a result of the continued downturn in the economy and expected market demand. Of the $3,319 charge, $1,627 related to the Mobile Industries segment, $1,152 related to the Process Industries segment and $540 related to the Aerospace and Defense segment. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $6,515 in severance and related benefit costs, including a curtailment of pension benefits of $1,850, to eliminate approximately 800 associates to properly align its business as a result of the continued downturn in the economy and expected market demand. Of the $6,515 charge, $5,709 related to the Mobile Industries segment, $761 related to the Process Industries segment and $45 related to the Aerospace and Defense segment.

Mobile Industries

In March 2007, the Company announced the closure of its manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Company completed the closure of this facility on March 31, 2010. The Company expects to incur pretax costs of approximately $25,000 to $30,000, which includes restructuring costs and rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold and selling, administrative and general expenses. Mobile Industries has incurred cumulative pretax costs of approximately $25,292 as of March 31, 2010 related to this closure. During the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded $312 and $557, respectively, of severance and related benefit costs associated with the closure of this facility.

In addition to the above charges, the Company recorded impairment charges of $769 during the first quarter of 2009 related to impairment of fixed assets at one of its facilities in France as a result of the carrying value of these assets exceeding expected future cash flows.

Note 11 — Impairment and Restructuring Charges (continued)

Process Industries

In May 2004, the Company announced plans to rationalize the Company’s three bearing plants in Canton, Ohio within the Process Industries segment. The Company expects to incur pretax costs of approximately $70,000 to $80,000 (including pretax cash costs of approximately $50,000), by the middle of 2010.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3,026 and exit costs of $562 as a result of Process Industries’ rationalization plans. Including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold and selling, administrative and general expenses, the Process Industries segment has incurred cumulative pretax costs of approximately $69,761 as of March 31, 2010 for these rationalization plans.

The following is a rollforward of the consolidated restructuring accrual for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2009:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2010			2009
Beginning balance, January 1	$	33,967		$	17,021
Expense		5,525			55,598
Payments		(14,469	)		(38,652	)
Ending balance	$	25,023		$	33,967

The restructuring accrual at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accrual at March 31, 2010 includes $18,578 of severance and related benefits, with the balance primarily representing environmental exit costs. The majority of the $18,578 accrual relating to severance and related benefits is expected to be paid by the end of 2010.

Note 12 — Retirement and Postretirement Benefit Plans

The following table sets forth the net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s retirement and postretirement benefit plans. The amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are based on actuarial calculations prepared during 2009. Consistent with prior years, these calculations will be updated later in the year. These updated calculations may result in different net periodic benefit cost for 2010. The net periodic benefit cost recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is the Company’s best estimate of the period’s proportionate share of the amounts to be recorded for the year ending December 31, 2010.

	Pension						Postretirement
	Three Months Ended						Three Months Ended

Note 13 — Income Taxes

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2010			2009
Provision for income taxes	$	45,854		$	18,793
Effective tax rate		61.5	%		108.3	%

The Company’s provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed in accordance with interim period income tax accounting rules by applying the appropriate annual effective tax rates to income or loss before income taxes for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items, including interest on prior year tax liabilities, are recorded during the period in which they occur.

The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2010 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to a $21,621 charge to income tax expense to record the deferred tax impact of the recently enacted U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (as amended), losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded and U.S. state and local taxes. These increases were partially offset by the earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%.

The first quarter of 2009 resulted in $18,793 of income tax expense, or an effective tax rate of 108.3%. This tax rate was caused by an application of the interim period accounting rules for income taxes, as income tax expense on earnings from profitable affiliates exceeded tax benefits that could be recorded on losses from unprofitable affiliates.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a $14,096 adjustment to other comprehensive income for deferred taxes on postretirement prescription drug benefits, specifically the employer subsidy provided by the U.S. government under the Medicare Part D program (the Medicare subsidy). During the first quarter of 2010, the Company determined it had provided deferred taxes on postretirement benefit plan accruals recorded through other comprehensive income net of the Medicare subsidy, rather than on a gross basis. The cumulative impact of this error resulted in a cumulative understatement of deferred tax assets totaling $14,096 and a corresponding understatement of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Management concluded the effect of the adjustment was not material to the Company’s prior three fiscal years and first quarter 2010 financial statements, as well as the estimated full-year 2010 financial statements.

Note 14 — Divestitures

On December 31, 2009, the Company completed the sale of the assets of its Needle Roller Bearings (NRB) operations to JTEKT Corporation (JTEKT). The Company received approximately $304 million in cash proceeds for these operations and retained certain receivables, subject to post-sale working capital adjustments. The NRB operations primarily serve the automotive original-equipment market sectors and manufacture highly engineered needle roller bearings, including an extensive range of radial and thrust needle roller bearings bearing assemblies and loose needles for automotive and industrial applications. The NRB operations have facilities in the United States, Canada, Europe and China. Results for 2009 for the NRB operations are presented as discontinued operations.

Note 15 — Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 —	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 —	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 —	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010:

	Fair Value at March 31, 2010
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	7,286	$	7,286	$	—	$	—
Foreign currency hedges		4,490		—		4,490		—
Total Assets	$	11,776	$	7,286	$	4,490	$	—
Liabilities:
Foreign currency hedges	$	7,710	$	—	$	7,710	$	—
Total Liabilities	$	7,710	$	—	$	7,710	$	—

The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts.

The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, commercial paper, short-term borrowings and accounts payable are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $446,060 and $440,090 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $454,089 and $430,610 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Note 16 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are commodity price risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on various commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of natural gas used in the Company’s manufacturing process. Forward contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted revenue denominated in foreign currencies. Other forward exchange contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of the Company’s commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed and floating-rate borrowings.

The Company designates certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenues, and certain interest rate hedges as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings. The majority of the Company’s natural gas forward contracts are not subject to any hedge designation as they are considered within the normal purchases exemption.

The Company does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $264,415 of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value. The total notional value of foreign currency hedges as of December 31, 2009 was $248,035.

16

Note 16 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (continued)

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

For certain derivative instruments that are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion), or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income during the current period.

To protect against a reduction in the value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales over the next year, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted intra-group revenue or expense denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts. When the dollar strengthens significantly against the foreign currencies, the decline in the present value of future foreign currency revenue is offset by gains in the fair value of the forward contracts designated as hedges. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is offset by losses in the fair value of the forward contracts.

Fair Value Hedging Strategy

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in the same line item associated with the hedged item (i.e., in “interest expense” when the hedged item is fixed-rate debt).

The following table presents the fair value and location of all assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s hedging instruments within the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet:

		Asset Derivatives				Liability Derivatives
	Balance Sheet	Fair Value		Fair Value		Fair Value		Fair Value
	Location	at 3/31/10		at 12/31/09		at 3/31/10		at 12/31/09

Item 2. 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 anti-friction bearings and assemblies, high-quality alloy steels and aerospace power transmission systems as well as a provider of related products and services. The Company operates under two business groups: the Steel Group and the Bearings and Power Transmission Group. The Bearings and Power Transmission Group is composed of three operating segments: (1) Mobile Industries, (2) Process Industries and (3) Aerospace and Defense. These three operating segments and the Steel Group comprise the Company’s four reportable segments.

The Mobile Industries segment provides bearings, power transmission components and related products and services. Customers of the Mobile Industries segment include original equipment manufacturers and suppliers for passenger cars, light trucks, medium and heavy-duty trucks, rail cars, locomotives and agricultural, construction and mining equipment. Customers also include aftermarket distributors of automotive products. The Company’s strategy for the Mobile Industries segment is to improve financial performance in the automotive and truck original-equipment markets while leveraging more attractive markets in the rail and off-highway sectors and in the aftermarket. This strategy could result in allocating assets to serve the most attractive market sectors and restructuring or exiting those businesses where adequate returns cannot be achieved over the long-term.

The Process Industries segment provides bearings, power transmission components and related products and services. Customers of the Process Industries segment include original equipment manufacturers of power transmission, energy and heavy industries machinery and equipment including rolling mills, cement and aggregate processing equipment, paper mills, sawmills, printing presses, cranes, hoists, drawbridges, wind energy turbines, gear drives, drilling equipment, coal conveyors and crushers and food processing equipment. Customers also include aftermarket distributors of products other than those for steel and automotive applications. The Company’s strategy for the Process Industries segment is to pursue growth in selected industrial market sectors, including the aftermarket, and to achieve a leadership position in Asia.

The Aerospace and Defense segment manufactures bearings, helicopter transmission systems, rotor head assemblies, turbine engine components, gears and other precision flight-critical components for commercial and military aviation applications. The Aerospace and Defense segment also provides aftermarket services, including repair and overhaul of engines, transmissions and fuel controls, as well as aerospace bearing repair and component reconditioning. In addition, the Aerospace and Defense segment manufactures precision bearings, higher-level assemblies and sensors for equipment manufacturers of health and positioning control equipment. The Company’s strategy for the Aerospace and Defense segment is to: (1) grow by adding power transmission parts, assemblies and services, utilizing a platform approach; (2) develop new aftermarket channels; and (3) improve global capabilities through manufacturing initiatives.

The Steel segment manufactures more than 450 grades of carbon and alloy steel, which are produced in both solid and tubular sections with a variety of lengths and finishes. The Steel segment also manufactures custom-made steel products for both industrial and automotive applications. The Company’s strategy for the Steel segment is to drive profitable growth by focusing on opportunities where the Company can offer differentiated capabilities.

In addition to specific segment initiatives, the Company has been making strategic investments in business processes and systems. Project O.N.E. is a multi-year program launched in 2005 to improve the Company’s business processes and systems. In total, the Company expects to invest up to approximately $220 million, which includes internal and external costs, to implement Project O.N.E. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has incurred costs of approximately $211.4 million, of which approximately $124.2 million have been capitalized to the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The total costs incurred were reduced from prior disclosure due to the removal of post-implementation expenses that were not part of the project. During 2008 and 2007, the Company completed the installation of Project O.N.E. for the majority of the Company’s domestic Bearings and Power Transmission Group operations and a major portion of its European operations. On April 1, 2009, the Company completed an additional installation of Project O.N.E. for the majority of the Company’s remaining European operations as well as certain other facilities in North America and India. The final installation of Project O.N.E. is expected to be completed in May 2010. With the completion of the May 2010 installation of Project O.N.E., approximately 90% of the Bearings and Power Transmission Group’s global sales will flow through the new system.

On December 31, 2009, the Company completed the sale of the assets of its Needle Roller Bearings (NRB) operations to JTEKT Corporation (JTEKT). The Company received approximately $304 million in cash proceeds for these operations and retained certain receivables, subject to post-sale working capital adjustments. The NRB operations manufacture needle roller bearings, including a range of radial and thrust needle roller bearings, as well as bearing assemblies and loose needles for automotive and industrial applications. The NRB operations had 2009 sales of approximately $407 million and approximately 80% of these sales were previously included in the Company’s Mobile Industries segment with the remainder included in the Process Industries and Aerospace and Defense reportable segments. Results for 2009 for the NRB operations are presented as discontinued operations. The Company incurred an after-tax loss of approximately $12.6 million on the sale of the NRB operations during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Average number of shares — diluted		96,700,256		96,028,860			—		0.7	%

The Timken Company reported net sales for the first quarter of 2010 of $913.7 million, compared to $866.6 million in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of 5.4%. Higher sales were driven by improved demand from automotive markets across the Mobile Industries and Steel segments, as well as higher surcharges, partially offset by lower sales in the Process Industries and Aerospace and Defense segments. For the first quarter of 2010, net income per diluted share was $0.30 compared to $0.01 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2009. Income from continuing operations per diluted share for the first quarter of 2010 was $0.29 compared to $0.05 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2009.

The Company’s first quarter results reflect the improvement in the mobile market sectors, higher surcharges, improved manufacturing performance and the favorable impact of restructuring initiatives, partially offset by lower demand from industrial and aerospace markets, higher LIFO expense and higher expense related to incentive compensation plans. Results for the first quarter of 2010 also reflect a one-time charge of $21.6 million to record the deferred tax impact of recently-enacted U.S. health care legislation.

Outlook

The Company’s outlook for 2010 reflects a modest improvement in the global economy following the deteriorating global economic climate that occurred throughout 2009. The Company expects sales in 2010 to be approximately 20% to 25% higher than 2009, primarily driven by stronger sales volume and higher surcharges in the Steel segment, as well as higher sales from the Mobile and Process Industries segments, offset by a slight decline in the Aerospace and Defense segment. The Company expects to leverage increases in sales through improved operating performance and its 2009 cost reduction initiatives. The strengthening margins will be partially offset by higher expense related to incentive compensation plans.

The Company expects to continue to generate cash from operations in 2010 as a result of higher earnings in 2010, compared to 2009. In addition, the Company expects to increase capital expenditures by approximately 20% in 2010 compared to 2009. Pension contributions are also expected to increase to approximately $135 million in 2010, including over $100 million of discretionary U.S. contributions, compared to $65 million in 2009.

Rationalization expenses included in cost of products sold	$	1.2		$	1.2		$	—		0.0	%

Gross profit margin increased in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to better manufacturing utilization and lower manufacturing costs of approximately $45 million, the timing of surcharges of approximately $22 million and the impact of higher sales volume of approximately $10 million, partially offset by higher LIFO expense of $18 million.

In the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, rationalization expenses included in cost of products sold primarily related to the continued rationalization of Process Industries’ Canton, Ohio bearing manufacturing facilities. Rationalization expenses in the first quarter of 2010 primarily consisted of relocation of equipment. Rationalization expenses in the first quarter of 2009 primarily consisted of accelerated depreciation and relocation of equipment.

The following discussion explains the major impairment and restructuring charges recorded for the periods presented; however, it is not intended to reflect a comprehensive discussion of all amounts in the tables above. See Note 11 — Impairment and Restructuring in the Notes to the Consolidated Financials for further details by segment.

Selling and Administrative Reductions

In March 2009, the Company announced the realignment of its organization to improve efficiency and reduce costs as a result of the economic downturn. The Company had targeted pretax savings of approximately $30 million to $40 million in annual selling and administrative costs. In April 2009, in light of the Company’s revised forecast indicating significantly reduced sales and earnings for the year, the Company expanded the target to approximately $80 million. This target was achieved in 2009. During the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded $1.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of severance and related benefit costs related to this initiative to eliminate approximately 25 associates and 26 associates, respectively. Of the $1.3 million charge recorded during the first quarter of 2010, $0.6 million related to Corporate, $0.4 million related to the Process Industries segment and $0.3 million related to the Mobile Industries segment. Of the $2.3 million charge recorded during the first quarter of 2009, $1.2 million related to Corporate, $0.5 million related to the Mobile Industries segment, $0.4 million related to the Steel segment and $0.2 million related to the Process Industries segment. Overall, the Company has eliminated approximately 500 sales and administrative associates in 2009 and 2010 with a pretax savings of approximately $55 million.

Manufacturing Workforce Reductions

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded $3.3 million in severance and related benefit costs to eliminate approximately 60 associates to properly align its business as a result of the continued downturn in the economy and expected market demand. Of the $3.3 million charge, $1.6 million related to the Mobile Industries segment, $1.2 million related to the Process Industries segment and $0.5 million related to the Aerospace and Defense segment. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $6.5 million in severance and related benefit costs, including a curtailment of pension benefits of $1.8 million, to eliminate approximately 800 associates to properly align its business as a result of the continued downturn in the economy and expected market demand. Of the $6.5 million charge, $5.7 million related to the Mobile Industries segment and $0.8 million related to the Process Industries segment.

Mobile Industries

In March 2007, the Company announced the closure of its manufacturing facility in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Company completed the closure of this facility on March 31, 2010. This closure is targeted to deliver annual pretax savings of approximately $5 million, with expected pretax costs of approximately $25 million to $30 million, which includes restructuring costs and rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold and selling, administrative and general expenses. The Company expects to realize the $5 million of annual pretax savings by the end of 2010. Mobile Industries has incurred cumulative pretax costs of approximately $25.3 million as of March 31, 2010 related to this closure. During the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of severance and related benefit costs associated with the closure of the Company’s Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility.

In addition to the above charges, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2009 related to an impairment of fixed assets at one its facilities in France as a result of the carrying value of these assets exceeding their expected future cash flows.

Process Industries

In May 2004, the Company announced plans to rationalize the Company’s three bearing plants in Canton, Ohio within the Process Industries segment. This rationalization initiative is expected to deliver annual pretax savings of approximately $35 million through streamlining operations and workforce reductions, with pretax costs of approximately $70 million to $80 million (including pretax cash costs of approximately $50 million), by the middle of 2010.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3.0 million and exit costs of $0.6 million as a result of Process Industries’ rationalization plans. Including rationalization costs recorded in cost of products sold and selling, administrative and general expenses, the Process Industries segment has incurred cumulative pretax costs of approximately $69.8 million as of March 31, 2010 for these rationalization plans. As of March 31, 2010, the Process Industries segment has realized approximately $15 million in annual pretax savings.

Rollforward of Restructuring Accruals:
	March 31, 2010			Dec. 31, 2009
(Dollars in millions)
Beginning balance, January 1	$	34.0		$	17.0
Expense		5.5			55.6
Payments		(14.3	)		(38.6	)
Ending balance	$	25.2		$	34.0

The restructuring accrual at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The restructuring accrual at December 31, 2009 excludes costs related to the curtailment of pension benefit plans of $0.9 million. The accrual at March 31, 2010 includes $18.8 million of severance and related benefits, with the balance primarily representing environmental exit costs. The majority of the $18.8 million accrual relating to severance and related benefits is expected to be paid by the end of 2010.

Interest Expense and Income:
	1Q 2010		1Q 2009		$ Change		% Change
(Dollars in millions)
Interest expense	$	9.6	$	8.5	$	1.1		12.9	%
Interest income	$	0.6	$	0.4	$	0.2		50.0	%

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2010 increased compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to the amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s Senior Credit Facility and the issuance of $250 million of fixed-rate 6% unsecured Senior Notes in the third quarter of 2009 and lower capitalized interest, partially offset by lower interest expense at non-U.S. affiliates due to lower debt levels. Interest income for the first quarter of 2010 increased compared to the same period in the prior year, due to higher invested cash balances.

Other Income and Expense:
	1Q 2010			1Q 2009		$ Change			% Change
(Dollars in millions)
Other (expense) income, net:
(Loss) gain on divestitures of non-strategic assets	$	(0.3	)	$	1.2	$	(1.5	)		(125.0	)%

Other (expense) income, net	$	(0.6	)	$	8.0	$	(8.6	)		(107.5	)%

The gain on divestitures of non-strategic assets for the first quarter of 2009 related to the sale of one of the buildings at the Company’s former office complex located in Torrington, Connecticut.

For the first quarter of 2010, other (expense) income primarily consisted of $1.0 million in losses on the disposal of fixed assets, partially offset by $0.7 million of gains from equity investments. For the first quarter of 2009, other income (expense) primarily consisted of $6.8 million of foreign currency exchange gains.

Income Tax Expense:	$	45.9		$	18.8		$	27.1		144.1	%
Effective tax rate		61.5	%		108.3	%		—	(4,680		) bps

The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2010, compared to the first quarter of 2009, was primarily due to decreased losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, utilization of certain foreign net operating losses and increased earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%. These benefits were partially offset by a $21.6 million charge to income tax expense to record the deferred tax impact of the recently-enacted U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (as amended), higher U.S. state and local taxes and reductions in other U.S. tax benefits, including the research and development credit which expired on December 31, 2009.

In December 2009, the Company completed the divestiture of its NRB operations to JTEKT. Discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2009 represent the operating results, net of tax, of these operations. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recognized an adjustment of $0.3 million on disposal of the NRB operations. Refer to Note 14 — Divestitures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest:
	1Q 2010		1Q 2009			$ Change		% Change
(Dollars in millions)
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest	$	0.4	$	(5.9	)	$	6.3		106.8	%

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest was income of $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to a loss of $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2009. In the first quarter of 2009, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest increased by $6.1 million due to a correction of an error related to the $18.4 million goodwill impairment loss the Company recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 for the Mobile Industries segment. In recording the goodwill impairment loss in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company did not recognize that a portion of the goodwill impairment loss related to two separate subsidiaries in India and South Africa of which the Company holds less than 100% ownership. As a result, the Company’s 2008 financial statements were understated by $6.1 million and the Company’s first quarter 2009 financial statements were overstated by $6.1 million. Management concluded the effect of the first quarter adjustment was not material to the Company’s 2008 and first quarter 2009 financial statements, as well as the full-year 2009 financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Business Segments:

The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment 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 and integration charges, one-time gains or losses on disposal of non-strategic assets and gains and losses on the dissolution of subsidiaries). Refer to Note 10 — Segment Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the reconciliation of adjusted EBIT by segment to consolidated income before income taxes.

The presentation below reconciles the changes in net sales for each segment reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to net sales adjusted to remove the effects of currency exchange rates. The effects of currency exchange rates are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage change in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period. The presentation would also remove the effects of acquisitions and divestitures on sales, but there were none in 2010 or 2009 other than the divestiture of the NRB operations, which is already reflected as discontinued operations. The year 2009 represents the base year for which the effects of currency are measured; as such, currency is assumed to be zero for 2009.

Mobile Industries Segment:

Adjusted EBIT margin		11.6	%		(0.8	)%		—	1,240		bps

The presentation below reconciles the changes in net sales of the Mobile Industries segment operations reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to net sales adjusted to remove the effects of currency exchange rates.

	1Q 2010		1Q 2009		$ Change		% Change
(Dollars in millions)
Net sales, including intersegment sales	$	367.5	$	300.6	$	66.9		22.3	%
Currency		11.7		—		11.7	NM
Net sales, excluding the impact of currency	$	355.8	$	300.6	$	55.2		18.4	%

The Mobile Industries segment’s net sales, excluding the effects of currency-rate changes, increased 18.4% for the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to higher volume of approximately $55 million. The volume increases were seen across most market sectors led by a 66% increase in heavy truck, a 37% increase in light vehicles and a 39% increase from the automotive aftermarket. Adjusted EBIT was higher in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to higher volume and favorable sales mix of approximately $35 million and better manufacturing utilization of approximately $15 million.

The Mobile Industries segment’s sales are expected to increase approximately 10% to 20% percent in 2010, compared to 2009 full-year results, as demand is expected to increase across most of the Mobile Industries’ market sectors, led by increases in global light-vehicle demand of approximately 20% and global heavy truck demand of approximately 30%. The Company also expects sales to increase approximately 20% in its automotive distribution channel during 2010, compared to the full year of 2009. In addition, adjusted EBIT for the Mobile Industries segment is expected to increase significantly during 2010, compared to 2009, primarily due to higher sales volume.

Net sales, excluding the impact of currency	$	198.1	$	225.1	$	(27.0	)		(12.0	)%

The Process Industries segment’s net sales, excluding the effects of currency-rate changes, decreased 12.0% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower volume of approximately $30 million. The lower volume was seen across most market sectors, led by a 53% decline in cement and aggregate processing equipment demand, a 34% decline in oil and gas demand and a 31% decline in gear drive demand. In addition, the Company’s industrial distribution channel experienced a 10% decline in demand. These declines were partially offset by an increase in global wind energy market demand of 25%. Adjusted EBIT was lower in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to the impact of lower volumes of approximately $15 million. The Company expects sales in the Process Industries segment to increase approximately 5% for the full year of 2010 compared to 2009, as the industrial distribution channel strengthens during the second half of 2010. However, the Process Industries segment expects 2010 adjusted EBIT to be flat compared to the full year of 2009 despite the increased sales, primarily due to higher raw material costs and higher expense related to incentive compensation plans.

Net sales, excluding the impact of currency	$	91.4	$	109.3	$	(17.9	)		(16.4	)%

The Aerospace and Defense segment’s net sales, excluding the impact of currency-rate changes, decreased 16.4% in the first quarter of 2010, compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to a decrease in volume of approximately $20 million. Volume was down across most key market sectors as the Aerospace and Defense segment continues to experience softening that began in the middle of the prior year. Profitability for the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 declined primarily due to lower volume. The Company expects the Aerospace and Defense segment to see modest declines in sales and adjusted EBIT in 2010, compared to 2009, as a result of softer commercial and general aviation market sectors and flat defense market sectors.

Net sales, excluding the impact of currency	$	269.9	$	248.6	$	21.3		8.6	%

The Steel segment’s net sales for the first quarter of 2010, excluding the effect of currency-rate changes, increased 8.6% compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher volume of approximately $20 million, primarily driven by the automotive market sector, and higher surcharges in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, partially offset by unfavorable sales mix of approximately $20 million. Surcharges increased to $59.5 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $37.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. Surcharges are a pricing mechanism that the Company uses to recover scrap steel, energy and certain alloy costs, which are derived from published monthly indices. The average scrap index for the first quarter of 2010 was $416 per ton compared to $219 per ton for the first quarter of 2009. Steel shipments for the first quarter of 2010 were 221,187 tons compared to 202,309 tons for the first quarter 2009, an increase of 9.3%. The Steel segment’s average selling price, including surcharges, was $1,222 per ton for the first quarter of 2010 compared to an average selling price of $1,229 per ton in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in the average selling prices was primarily the result of unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by higher surcharges. The higher surcharges were the result of higher market prices for certain input raw materials, especially scrap steel, nickel and molybdenum.

The Steel segment’s adjusted EBIT increased $27.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to the timing of surcharges of $22 million, lower manufacturing costs of approximately $20 million and the impact of higher sales volume of approximately $10 million, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable sales mix of approximately $15 million and higher LIFO expense. In the first quarter of 2010, the Steel segment recognized LIFO expense of $0.3 million compared to LIFO income of $12.4 million in the first quarter of 2009. Raw material costs consumed in the manufacturing process, including scrap steel, alloys and energy, increased 24% in the first quarter of 2010 over the comparable period in the prior year to an average cost of $388 per ton.

The Company expects the Steel segment to see a 60% to 70% increase in sales for the remainder of 2010 due to higher volume and higher surcharges, as scrap steel and alloy prices have risen substantially from the low levels experienced in 2009. The Company also expects higher demand across most markets, primarily driven by an 80% increase in industrial market sectors and a 50% increase in automotive market sectors. The Company expects the Steel segment’s adjusted EBIT to be significantly higher in 2010, compared to a loss in 2009, primarily due to the higher sales volume and surcharges. Scrap costs are expected to increase in the short-term from current levels and then level off, as are alloy and energy costs.

The Balance Sheet

Total assets as shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2010 decreased by $18.8 million compared to December 31, 2009. This decrease in 2010 was primarily due to lower cash and cash equivalents and lower plant, property and equipment, partially offset by higher working capital as a result of higher volumes.

Total current assets	$	2,059.0	$	2,022.5	$	36.5			1.8	%

Refer to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for a discussion of the decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Accounts receivable, net increased as a result of the higher sales in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Inventories increased primarily due to higher volume. The decrease in other current assets is primarily due to a decrease in net income taxes receivable as a result of the current-year provision for income taxes. This decrease was partially offset by a $6.5 million reclassification of the Company’s investment in two joint ventures, Internacional Component Supply LTDA and Endorsia.com, from other non-current assets as these investments are considered assets held for sale at March 31, 2010.

The decrease in property, plant and equipment — net in the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to current-year depreciation expense exceeding capital expenditures and the impact of foreign currency translation.

28

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

The decrease in other intangible assets was primarily due to current-year amortization. The decrease in deferred income taxes is primarily due to a reduction in deferred tax assets caused by the enactment of the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (as amended). Other non-current assets decreased as a result of the reclassification of the Company’s investment in two joint ventures, Internacional Component Supply LTDA and Endorsia.com, to other current assets as mentioned on the previous page.

	March 31,		Dec. 31,
	2010		2009		$ Change			% Change

Short-term debt	$	30.0	$	26.3	$	3.7			14.1	%

Total current liabilities	$	601.0	$	540.4	$	60.6			11.2	%

The increase in short-term debt was primarily due to increased net borrowings by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries under lines of credit due to higher seasonal working capital requirements. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to higher volumes. The increase in accrued salaries, wages and benefits was the result of accruals for current-year incentive plans in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in other current liabilities was primarily due to the payout of severance payments related to 2009 restructuring activities.

Total non-current liabilities	$	1,757.6	$	1,870.9	$	(113.3	)		(6.1	)%

The decrease in accrued pension cost was primarily due to the Company’s contribution of approximately $106 million of contributions to its defined benefit plans during the first quarter of 2010.

29

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Earnings invested in the business increased in the first quarter of 2010 by net income of $28.6 million, partially offset by dividends declared of $8.7 million. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily due to the recognition of prior-year service costs and actuarial losses for defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans and a $14.0 million prior period adjustment related to deferred taxes on post-retirement prescription drug benefits, specifically the employer subsidy provided by the U.S. government under Medicare Part D. Refer to Note 13 – Income taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the prior period adjustment. These decreases are partially offset by the foreign currency translation adjustment of $13.2 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, such as the Euro, the Romanian lei and the British pound. See “Foreign Currency” for further discussion regarding the impact of foreign currency translation. Treasury shares increased in the first quarter of 2010 as a result of Company repurchasing stock under its 2006 common stock purchase plan.

Cash Flows:

Net cash from operating activities used cash of $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2010 after providing cash of $33.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. The change in cash from operating activities was primarily due to higher pension contributions and other postretirement benefit payments as well as lower cash provided by working capital items, particularly inventories and accounts receivable, partially offset by higher net income. Pension contributions and other postretirement benefit payments were $118.7 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $14.7 million for the first quarter of 2009. Accounts receivable used cash of $82.1 million in the first quarter of 2010 after providing cash of $55.4 million in the first quarter of 2009. Inventories used cash of $22.5 million in the first quarter of 2010 after providing cash of $59.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. Accounts receivable and inventories increased in the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to higher volumes compared to the first quarter of 2009. In addition, the increase in accounts receivable was partially offset by the collection of retained receivables from the sale of the NRB operations of approximately $30 million to $35 million. Accounts payable and accrued expenses provided cash of $60.4 million in the first quarter of 2010 after using cash of $133.9 million for the first quarter of 2009. Net income increased $27.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.

The net cash used by investing activities of $15.1 million for the first three months of 2010 decreased from the same period in 2009 primarily due to an $18.2 million decrease in capital expenditures in the current year. The Company expects to increase capital expenditures by approximately 20% in 2010 compared to the 2009 level.

The net cash flows from financing activities used cash of $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 after using cash of $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2009, as a result of the Company’s repurchase of $14.0 million of Company stock during the first quarter of 2010. This use of cash was partially offset by lower cash dividends paid to shareholders and higher net proceeds from stock option exercises during the first quarter of 2010, compared to the first quarter of 2009.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents of $709.3 million exceeded total debt of $515.9 million. At December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents of $755.5 million exceeded total debt of $512.7 million. The net debt to capital ratio was a negative 13.5% and 17.9%, respectively, at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Reconciliation of total debt to net debt and the ratio of net debt to capital:

Net (cash) debt + shareholders’ equity (capital)	$	1,436.1		$	1,352.8
Ratio of net (cash) debt to capital		(13.5	)%		(17.9	)%

The Company presents net (cash) debt because it believes net (cash) debt is more representative of the Company’s financial position.

At March 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its 364-day Asset Securitization Agreement (Asset Securitization), which provides for borrowings up to $100 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables of the Company. Although the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Asset Securitization, as of March 31, 2010, certain borrowing base limitations reduced the availability under the Asset Securitization to $97.1 million.

At March 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its $500 million Senior Credit Facility, but had letters of credit outstanding totaling $32.2 million, which reduced the availability under the Senior Credit Facility to $467.8 million. The Senior Credit Facility matures on July 10, 2012. Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has three financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio, a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a consolidated minimum tangible net worth test. At March 31, 2010, the Company was in full compliance with the covenants under the Senior Credit Facility and its other debt agreements. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.75 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio was 1.32 to 1.0. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 4.0 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s consolidated interest coverage ratio was 10.24 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s consolidated tangible net worth exceeded the minimum required amount by a significant margin. Refer to Note 6 – Financing Arrangements in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility is based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee based on the consolidated leverage ratio multiplied by the aggregate commitments of all of the lenders under this agreement. Financing costs on the Senior Credit Facility are being amortized over the life of the new agreement and are expected to result in approximately $2.9 million in annual interest expense.

31

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Other sources of liquidity include lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, which provide for borrowings up to $303.9 million. The majority of these lines are uncommitted. At March 31, 2010, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $30.0 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $273.9 million.

The Company expects that any cash requirements in excess of cash on hand and cash generated from operating activities will be met by the committed funds available under its Asset Securitization and the Senior Credit Facility. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through at least the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

The Company expects to remain in compliance with its debt covenants. However, the Company may need to limit its borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility or other facilities in order to remain in compliance. As of March 31, 2010, the Company could have borrowed the full amounts available under the Senior Credit Facility and Asset Securitization Agreement, and would have still been in compliance with its debt covenants.

In September 2009, the Company issued $250 million of fixed-rated unsecured Senior Notes. These Senior Notes, which mature in September 2014, bear interest at 6.0% per annum. The net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes were used in December 2009 to redeem fixed-rate unsecured Senior Notes maturing in February 2010.

The Company’s debt, including the new Senior Notes, is rated “Baa3,” by Moody’s Investor Services and “BBB-“ by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, both of which are considered investment-grade credit ratings.

The Company expects to continue to generate cash from operations as the Company experiences improved margins in 2010. In addition, the Company expects to increase capital expenditures by approximately 20% in 2010, compared to 2009. The Company also expects to make approximately $135 million in pension contributions in 2010, compared to $65 million in 2009, of which $106 million has been contributed to date.

Financing Obligations and Other Commitments

The Company currently expects to make cash contributions of approximately $135 million, over $100 million of which is discretionary, to its global defined benefit pension plans in 2010. During the first three months of 2010, the Company has made contributions of approximately $106 million to its defined pension plans. Returns for the Company’s global defined benefit pension plan assets in 2009 were significantly above the expected rate of return assumption of 8.75 percent due to broad increases in global equity markets. These favorable returns positively impacted the funded status of the plans at the end of 2009 and are expected to result in lower pension expense and required pension contributions over the next several years. However, the impact of these favorable returns will be offset by the impact of the lower discount rate for expense in 2010, compared to 2009. Returns for the Company’s U.S. defined benefit plan pension assets for the first three months of 2010 were approximately 4%, due to the continued strong performance in the global equity markets.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company purchased 500,000 shares of common stock for approximately $14.0 million under the Company’s 2006 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, up to an aggregate of $180 million. The authorization expires on December 31, 2012.

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance that amends the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities. The implementation of the new accounting guidance related to variable interest entities, effective January 1, 2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

32

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

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. Except for the following critical accounting policy on Inventory, 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, 2009, during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Inventory:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with approximately 48% valued by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and the remaining 52% valued by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The majority of the Company’s domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO method and all of the Company’s international (outside the United States) inventories are valued by the FIFO method. An actual valuation of the 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 be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. The Company recognized $6.1 million in LIFO expense for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to LIFO income of $11.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. Based on current expectations of inventory levels and costs, the Company expects to recognize approximately $22 million in LIFO expense for the year ended December 31, 2010. The expected increase in the LIFO reserve for 2010 is a result of higher costs, especially scrap steel costs, as well as higher quantities. A 1.0% increase in costs would increase the current LIFO expense estimate for 2010 by $4.2 million. A 1.0% increase in inventory quantities would increase the current LIFO expense estimate for 2010 by $0.4 million.

Other Matters:

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 Statement of Income.

Foreign currency exchange losses included in the Company’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $1.6 million, compared to a gain of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $13.2 million that decreased shareholders’ equity, compared to a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $44.5 million that decreased shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The foreign currency translation adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, such as the Euro, the Romanian lei and the British pound.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below amends and updates those risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in the Form 10-K.

We may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits from, or successfully execute, Project O.N.E.

In 2005, we began implementing Project O.N.E., a multi-year program designed to improve business processes and systems to deliver enhanced customer service and financial performance. From 2007 to 2009, we completed the installation of Project O.N.E. in most of our Bearings & Power Transmission operations located in the United States, Europe and India. In May 2010, we began to implement Project O.N.E. in certain parts of our Aerospace & Defense segment and other manufacturing and distribution operations in Asia, Europe and Australia. If we are not successful in executing or operating under Project O.N.E., or if it fails to achieve the anticipated results, then our operations, margins, sales and reputation could be adversely affected.

Implementing, and operating under, Project O.N.E. will be complex and time-consuming, may be distracting to management and disruptive to our businesses, and may cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our businesses as a result of a number of obstacles, such as:

• the loss of key associates or customers;

• the failure to maintain the quality of customer service that we have historically provided;

• the need to coordinate geographically diverse organizations; and

• the resulting diversion of management’s attention from our day-to-day business and the need to dedicate additional management personnel to address obstacles to the implementation of Project O.N.E.

If we are not successful in executing, or operating under, Project O.N.E., or if it fails to achieve the anticipated results, then our operations, margins, sales and reputation could be adversely affected.
