NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, 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 accompanying Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Certain amounts reported in the 2015 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current cash flow presentation.

Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Guidance Adopted:
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This new accounting guidance does not eliminate the requirement for the measurement period to be completed within one year. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-16. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-16 was immaterial to the Company's results of operations and financial condition as there was only a minor measurement-period adjustment during the first nine months of 2016.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)." ASU 2015-07 eliminates the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair values are estimated using the net asset value ("NAV") practical expedient provided in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurement." Instead, entities will be required to disclose the fair values of such investments so that financial statement users can reconcile amounts reported in the fair value hierarchy table and the amounts reported on the balance sheet. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-07. The adoption of ASU 2015-07 did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition as the new guidance addresses disclosure only. See Note 17 - Fair Value for the new disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. Prior to the issuance of this new accounting guidance, there was no explicit guidance about a customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-05 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." ASU 2015-03 requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction to the carrying value of debt. Prior to the issuance of this new accounting guidance, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as a deferred charge (i.e., an asset), and only a debt discount was recorded as a direct deduction to the carrying value of debt. ASU 2015-03 requires that the new accounting guidance be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance.

On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03. The following financial statement line items at December 31, 2015 were affected by the adoption of ASU 2015-03.

New Accounting Guidance Issued and Not Yet Adopted:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics should be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate so its application will require significant judgment. ASU 2016-13 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2016-09 simplifies various aspects of the accounting for stock-based payments. The simplifications include:

a.
recording all tax effects associated with stock-based compensation through the income statement, as opposed to recording certain amounts in other paid-in capital, which eliminates the complications of tracking a “windfall pool,” but will increase the volatility of income tax expense;
b.
allowing entities to withhold shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory tax withholding requirement up to the highest marginal tax rate applicable to employees rather than the employer’s minimum statutory rate, without requiring liability classification for the award;
c.
modifying the requirement to estimate the number of awards that will ultimately vest by providing an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of forfeitures or recognize forfeitures as they occur; and
d.
changing certain presentation requirements in the statement of cash flows, including removing the requirement to present excess tax benefits as an inflow from financing activities and an outflow from operating activities, and requiring the cash paid to taxing authorities arising from withheld shares to be classified as a financing activity.


7



ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and intrinsic value should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. Amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement should be applied retrospectively. Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement and the practical expedient for estimating expected term should be applied prospectively. An entity may elect to apply the amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-09 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of this new accounting guidance by one year, which will result in it being effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

On December 28, 2004, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) sent Lovejoy a Special Notice Letter that identified Lovejoy as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”), together with at least fourteen other companies, at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site, Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the “Site”).  Lovejoy’s Downers Grove property is situated within the Ellsworth Industrial Complex. The USEPA and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”) allege there have been one or more releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, allegedly including but not limited to a release or threatened release on or from Lovejoy's property, at the Site. The relief sought by the USEPA and IEPA includes further investigation and potential remediation of the Site and reimbursement of response costs. Lovejoy’s allocated share of past and future costs related to the Site, including for investigation and/or remediation, could be significant. All previously pending property damage and personal injury lawsuits against Lovejoy related to the Site have been settled or dismissed. In connection with the acquisition of Lovejoy, the Company recorded an immaterial environmental remediation accrual.

Timken Belts
On September 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the membership interests of Carlstar Belt LLC ("Timken Belts") for $213.7 million, including cash acquired of approximately $0.1 million. The Company incurred approximately $1.0 million of legal and professional fees to acquire Timken Belts. Timken Belts is a leading North American manufacturer of belts used in industrial, commercial and consumer applications, and sold under multiple brand names, including Carlisle®, Ultimax® and Panther®, among others. The product portfolio includes more than 20,000 parts that utilize wrap molded, raw edge, v-ribbed and synchronous belt designs. Based in Springfield, Missouri, Timken Belts had annual sales of approximately $140 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, and employs approximately 750 employees. The results of the operations for Timken Belts are reported in both the Mobile Industries and Process Industries segments based on customers served.

In June 2016, the Company paid a net purchase price adjustment of $0.7 million in connection with the Timken Belts acquisition, resulting in an adjustment to goodwill. The following table presents the final purchase price allocation for the Timken Belts acquisition:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with approximately 54% valued by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method and the remaining 46% valued by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") 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 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 reserves at September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, were $182.0 million and $188.1 million, respectively. The Company recognized a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $6.1 million during the first nine months of 2016, compared with a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $2.6 million during the first nine months of 2015.

The Company has a $500 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Senior Credit Facility"), which matures on June 19, 2020. At September 30, 2016, the Company had $76.2 million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $423.8 million. The Senior Credit Facility has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 2016, the Company was in full compliance with both of these covenants under the Senior Credit Facility.

The Company has a $100 million Amended and Restated Asset Securitization Agreement ("Accounts Receivable Facility") that matures on November 30, 2018. Under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Facility, the Company sells, on an ongoing basis, certain domestic trade receivables to Timken Receivables Corporation, a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, which 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 the Accounts Receivable Facility are limited by certain borrowing base limitations. These limitations reduced the availability of the Accounts Receivable Facility to $72.5 million at September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, there were outstanding borrowings of $68.9 million under the Accounts Receivable Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $3.6 million. The cost of this facility, which is the prevailing commercial paper rate plus program fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The outstanding balance under the Accounts Receivable Facility was classified in accordance with the terms of the agreement and reflects the Company's expectations relative to the minimum borrowing base.

Note 8 - Contingencies

Product Warranties:
The Company is currently evaluating claims raised by certain customers with respect to the performance of bearings sold into the Wind energy sector. The Company recorded warranty expense related to these claims totaling $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and $4.8 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. No warranty expense was incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2015 related to these claims. Management believes that the outcome of these claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position; however, the effect of any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs in excess of amounts provided, if any, are recognized.

The exercise prices for certain stock options that the Company has awarded exceed the average market price of the Company’s common shares. Such stock options are antidilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The antidilutive stock options outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, were 2,706,711 and 2,761,824, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the antidilutive stock options outstanding were 3,080,133. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss and therefore treated all stock options and restricted stock units as antidilutive.

On September 8, 2016, the Retirement Plan for the Hourly-Rated Employees of Timken Canada LP (the "Plan") purchased a group annuity contract from The Canada Life Assurance Company ("Canada Life") to pay and administer future pension benefits for 135 Canadian Timken retirees. The Plan was associated with former employees of the St. Thomas, Ontario manufacturing facility, which closed on March 31, 2013. The Company transferred approximately $15 million of the Company's pension obligations and $15 million of pension assets to Canada Life in this transaction. In addition to the purchase of the group annuity contract, the Company made lump-sum distributions of $6.8 million to deferred vested participants in the Plan during the second and third quarters of 2016. As a result of the group annuity contract and lump-sum distributions in Canada, as well as professional fees of $1.3 million associated with the implementation of a group annuity contract in the United States, the Company incurred total pension settlement charges of $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.


21



On January 23, 2015, the Timken-Latrobe-MPB-Torrington Retirement Plan purchased a group annuity contract from Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") to pay and administer future pension benefits for approximately 5,000 U.S. Timken retirees. The Company transferred approximately $575 million of the Company's pension obligations and $635 million of pension assets to Prudential in this transaction. In addition to the purchase of the group annuity contract, the Company made lump-sum distributions to new retirees of $29.5 million in 2015. The Company also incurred pension settlement and curtailment charges related to one of its Canadian defined benefit pension plans. As a result of the purchase of the group annuity contract and lump-sum distributions, as well as pension settlement and curtailment charges related to the Company's Canadian pension plans, the Company incurred total pension settlement charges of $223.2 million, including professional fees of $2.2 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.


Note 15 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The following table sets forth the net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s other postretirement benefit plans. The amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, are based on calculations prepared by the Company's actuaries during the second quarter of 2016 and represent the Company’s best estimate of each period’s proportionate share of the amounts to be recorded for the year ending December 31, 2016.

Note 16 - Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying the estimated 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(s) in which they occur.

In accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2016 was calculated as the difference between the income taxes computed for the nine months, as described below, and the year-to-date income taxes recorded as of June 30, 2016. This computation resulted in an effective tax rate of 39.1% for the third quarter of 2016, including discrete items.
 
The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2016 was computed based on an expected annual effective tax rate of 31.6%, excluding discrete items. Discrete tax items are recorded in the period in which they occur. Including the impact of discrete tax items, the effective tax rate was 32.2% in the first nine months of 2016, This rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits related to foreign tax credits, earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35% and other U.S. tax benefits, such as the U.S. Research and Experimentation credit and the U.S. manufacturing deduction. These factors were partially offset by U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. state and local taxes and the net impact of discrete tax items.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2015 was calculated as the difference between the income taxes computed for the nine months, as described below, and the year-to-date income taxes recorded as of June 30, 2015. This computation resulted in an effective tax rate of negative 11.4% for the third quarter of 2015, including discrete items. The effective tax rate of negative 11.4% was primarily due to the change in the Company's 2015 forecast and the variability caused by the large pension settlement charge recorded in the first quarter of 2015.

The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2015 was computed based on an estimated overall annual effective tax rate of negative 3.2%, including discrete items (expected tax benefits on expected pretax income). The rate reflected an estimated full year loss in the U.S. primarily driven by pension settlement charges and earnings in foreign jurisdictions, which were expected to produce a net tax benefit on pre-tax income. The effective tax rate of negative 3.2% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35%, tax benefits related to foreign tax credits, U.S. state and local tax benefits, non-taxable U.S. income and the U.S. manufacturing deduction. These factors were partially offset by U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, non-deductible U.S. expenses and certain discrete tax expenses.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company reclassified $18.6 million of tax payments in India to income taxes payable in order to apply these payments to the underlying liabilities to which they relate. This item was identified during a routine review of the balances in these accounts. Management of the Company concluded that this change from gross to net presentation of these items in the third quarter of 2016 and the presence of the gross presentation in prior periods was immaterial to all periods presented.

Note 17 - Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to 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 tables present the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015:

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are generally valued at the redemption value. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year and are generally valued at amortized cost. A portion of the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment are valued based on net asset value. 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.

Assets held for sale of $0.2 million were written down to their fair value of zero during the first quarter of 2016, resulting in an impairment charge. The fair value of these assets was based on the price that the Company expects to receive when it disposes of these assets.

On March 17, 2016, the Company announced the closure of its Altavista bearing plant. The plant is expected to close in approximately one year from the announcement date, with production transferring to the Company's bearing plant near Lincolnton, North Carolina. The Altavista bearing plant, with a carrying value of $5.6 million, was written down to its fair value of $3.2 million during the first quarter of 2016, resulting in an impairment of $2.4 million. The fair value for the plant was based on the price that the Company expects to receive from the sale of this facility. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company reevaluated the fair value of this facility. The Altavista bearing plant was written down to its fair value of $2.5 million during the third quarter of 2016, resulting in an additional impairment of $0.7 million.

In August 2016, the Company completed the consultation process to close the manufacturing operations in Benoni. The Benoni facility will continue to recondition bearings and assemble rail bearings. Equipment at this facility, with a carrying value of $0.5 million, was written down to its fair value of zero during the third quarter of 2016, resulting in an impairment of $0.5 million. The fair value for the equipment was based on the price that the Company expects to receive from the sale of the equipment.

Assets held for sale of $5.8 million associated with the Company's repair business in Niles were written down to their fair value of $2.8 million during the first and second quarters of 2015, resulting in an impairment charge of $3.0 million. The fair value of these assets was based on the price that the Company expected to receive from the sale of these assets. This business was subsequently sold during the second quarter of 2015 for an immaterial loss.


25



Various items of property, plant and equipment, with a carrying value of $0.8 million, were written down to their fair value of $0.5 million during the first nine months of 2015, resulting in an impairment charge of $0.3 million. The fair value for these assets was based on the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the assets on a standalone basis, considering the age and physical attributes of these items, as these assets had been idled.

Financial Instruments:
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable net, accounts payable, trade, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable net, accounts payable, trade and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $547.4 million and $521.5 million at September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $507.3 million and $519.2 million at September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of long-term fixed-debt was measured using Level 2 inputs.

Note 18 - 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 foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. Forward exchange contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of the Company’s commitments denominated in foreign currencies. 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. Interest rate swaps are used 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 Company does not purchase nor hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the Company had $247.9 million and $235.7 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value. Refer to Note 17 - Fair Value for the fair value disclosure of derivative financial instruments.

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 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.

The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is generally 18 months or less.
 

26



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).

Purpose for Derivative Instruments not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the instruments are typically forward contracts.  In general, the practice is to reduce volatility by selectively hedging transaction exposures including intercompany loans, accounts payable and accounts receivable. Intercompany loans between entities with different functional currencies are typically hedged with a forward contract at the inception of the loan with a maturity date at the maturity of the loan.  The revaluation of these contracts, as well as the underlying balance sheet items, is recorded directly to the income statement so the adjustment generally offsets the revaluation of the underlying balance sheet items to protect cash payments and reduce income statement volatility.

The following table presents the fair value of the Company's hedging instruments. Those balances are presented in the other non-current assets/liabilities accounts within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 19 - Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA)

The U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act ("CDSOA") provides for distribution of monies collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("U.S. Customs") on entries of merchandise subject to antidumping orders that entered the U.S. prior to October 1, 2007, to qualifying domestic producers where the domestic producers have continued to invest in their technology, equipment and people. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recognized CDSOA expense of $0.2 million. During the first nine months of 2016, the Company recognized pretax CDSOA income, net of related expenses of $53.6 million.

In September 2002, the World Trade Organization ruled that CDSOA payments are not consistent with international trade rules. In February 2006, U.S. legislation was enacted that ended CDSOA distributions for imports covered by antidumping duty orders entering the United States after September 30, 2007. Instead, any such antidumping duties collected would remain with the U.S. Treasury.

CDSOA has been the subject of significant litigation since 2002, and U.S. Customs has withheld CDSOA distributions in recent years while litigation was ongoing. In recent months, much of the CDSOA litigation that involves antidumping orders where Timken is a qualifying domestic producer has concluded.

As a result, the Company was notified by letters dated March 25, 2016, and June 24, 2016 that funds were being distributed to the Company. On April 1, 2016, and July 1, 2016, the Company received CDSOA distributions of $48.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively, in the aggregate, representing funds that would have been distributed to the Company at the end of calendar years 2011 through 2015.

While some of the challenges to CDSOA have been resolved, others are still in litigation. Since there continue to be legal challenges to CDSOA, U.S. Customs has advised all affected domestic producers that it is possible that CDSOA distributions could be subject to clawback. Management of the Company believes that the likelihood of any clawback is remote.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Overview
Introduction:

The Timken Company engineers, manufactures and markets bearings, transmissions, gearboxes, belts, chain, couplings, and related products and offers a variety of power system rebuild and repair services. The Company’s growing product and services portfolio features many strong industrial brands, such as Timken®, Fafnir®, Philadelphia Gear®, Carlisle®, Drives®, Lovejoy® and InterlubeTM. Timken applies its deep knowledge of metallurgy, friction management and mechanical power transmission across the broad spectrum of bearings and related systems to improve the reliability and efficiency of machinery and equipment all around the world. Known for its quality products and collaborative technical sales model, Timken focuses on providing value to diverse markets worldwide through both original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and aftermarket channels. With more than 14,000 people operating in 28 countries, Timken makes the world more productive and keeps industry in motion. The Company operates under two reportable segments: (1) Mobile Industries and (2) Process Industries. The following further describes these business segments:

Mobile Industries serves OEM customers that manufacture off-highway equipment for the agricultural, mining and construction markets; on-highway vehicles including passenger cars, light trucks, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks; rail cars and locomotives; and outdoor power equipment and rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft. Beyond service parts sold to OEMs, aftermarket sales to individual end users, equipment owners, operators and maintenance shops are handled through the Company's extensive network of authorized automotive and heavy-truck distributors.

Process Industries serves OEM and end-user customers in industries that place heavy demands on the fixed operating equipment they make or use in heavy and other general industrial sectors. This includes metals, cement and aggregate production; coal and wind power generation; oil and gas extraction and refining; pulp and paper and food processing; and health and critical motion control equipment. Other applications include marine equipment, gear drives, cranes, hoists and conveyors. This segment also supports aftermarket sales and service needs through its global network of authorized industrial distributors.

Timken creates value by understanding customer needs and applying its know-how in attractive market sectors. The Company’s business strengths include its channel mix and end-market diversity, serving a broad range of customers and industries across the globe. Timken collaborates with OEMs to improve equipment efficiency with its engineered products and captures subsequent equipment replacement cycles by selling through independent channels in the aftermarket. Timken focuses its international efforts and footprint in regions of the world where strong macroeconomic factors such as urbanization, infrastructure development and sustainability create demand for its products and services.


29



The Timken Business Model is the specific framework for how the Company evaluates opportunities and differentiates itself in the market.
timkenbusinessmodela05.jpg
The Company’s Strategy is to apply the Timken Business Model and leverage the Company’s competitive differentiators and strengths to create customer value and drive increased growth and profitability by:

Capturing Opportunities and Expanding Reach. The Company intends to expand into new and existing markets by leveraging its collective knowledge of metallurgy, friction management and mechanical power transmission to create value for Timken customers. Using a highly collaborative technical selling approach, the Company places particular emphasis on creating unique solutions for challenging and/or demanding applications. The Company intends to grow in attractive market sectors around the world, emphasizing those spaces that are highly fragmented, demand high service and value the reliability and efficiency offered by Timken products. The Company also targets those applications that offer significant aftermarket demand, thereby providing product and services revenue throughout the equipment’s lifetime.

Performing With Excellence. Timken operates with a relentless drive for exceptional results and a passion for superior execution. The Company embraces a continuous improvement culture that is charged with increasing efficiency, lowering costs, eliminating waste, encouraging organizational agility and building greater brand equity to fuel future growth. This requires the Company’s ongoing commitment to attract, retain and develop the best talent across the world.

Driving Effective Capital Deployment. The Company is intently focused on providing the highest returns for shareholders through its capital allocation framework, which includes (1) investing in the core business through capital expenditures, research and development and organic growth initiatives like DeltaX; (2) pursuing strategic acquisitions to broaden our portfolio and capabilities, with a focus on bearings, adjacent power transmission products and related services; and (3) returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. As part of this framework, the Company may also restructure, reposition or divest underperforming product lines or assets.

The following items highlight the Company's most recent accomplishments:

On July 8, 2016, the Company acquired Lovejoy, a manufacturer of premium industrial couplings and universal joints, for $63.5 million in cash and assumed debt of $2.2 million. Headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, with additional locations in the U.S., Canada and Germany, Lovejoy had sales of approximately $55 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016.

Continued to reconfigure its manufacturing footprint with the announced closures of its Pulaski and Benoni, manufacturing facilities, which are expected to be completed in 2017.

The decrease in sales in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to lower end-market demand and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by the net benefit of acquisitions and divestitures. The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2016 was lower than the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to unfavorable price/mix, the impact of lower volume across most market sectors, higher pension settlement charges, higher income tax expense and higher restructuring charges. These factors were partially offset by lower material and operating costs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

The decrease in sales for the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to lower end-market demand and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by the net benefit of acquisitions and divestitures. The change in net income for the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to non-cash pretax pension settlement charges of $223.2 million recorded during the first nine months of 2015 and pretax CDSOA income of $53.6 million, net of related expenses, recorded during the first nine months of 2016. In addition, the Company's net income in 2016 was impacted by lower volume across most market sectors, higher income tax expense, unfavorable price/mix, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and higher restructuring charges, partially offset by lower material and operating costs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses compared with the first nine months of 2015.

Outlook:
The Company expects 2016 full-year sales to decline approximately 7% to 8% compared with 2015, driven by lower volume across most market sectors and the estimated impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of 1.5%, partially offset by the net benefit of acquisitions and divestitures. The Company's earnings are expected to be higher in 2016 compared with 2015, primarily due to significantly lower pension settlement charges and the addition of CDSOA income, net. Excluding pension settlement charges and CDSOA income, earnings are expected to decline in 2016 compared with 2015, driven by lower volume and unfavorable price/mix. These factors are expected to be partially offset by lower material and operating costs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company expects to generate operating cash of approximately $375 million in 2016, comparable to 2015, as the Company anticipates lower net income excluding non-cash pension settlement and impairment charges, offset by lower tax payments and working capital. The Company expects capital expenditures of approximately 5.0% of sales in 2016, compared with 3.7% of sales in 2015.

Net sales decreased for the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to lower organic sales volume of $65 million, the effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $7 million and divestitures of $5 million, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions of $27 million. The decrease in organic sales volume was driven by lower demand across most of the Company's market sectors, partially offset by growth in the automotive market sector.
Net sales decreased for the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015, primarily due to lower organic sales volume of $174 million, the effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $39 million and divestitures of $15 million, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions of $85 million. The decrease in organic sales volume was driven by lower demand across most of the Company's market sectors, partially offset by growth in the automotive market sector.

Impairment and restructuring charges in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 were primarily comprised of severance and related benefit costs related to initiatives to reduce headcount and right-size the Company's manufacturing footprint, including the planned closures of the Altavista, Pulaski and Benoni bearing plants. In addition, the Company recognized impairment charges of $1.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, associated with the planned closure of the Altavista and Benoni bearing plants during the third quarter and first nine months of 2016.
Impairment and restructuring charges in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 were primarily due to severance and related benefit costs related to initiatives to reduce headcount. In addition, the Company recognized exit costs of $3.0 million related to the Company's termination of its relationship with one of its third-party sales representatives in Colombia and impairment charges of $3.0 million related to the shutdown of the Company's service center in Niles during the first nine months of 2015.

Pension settlement charges recorded in the first nine months of 2015 were primarily due to the purchase of a group annuity contact from Prudential for one of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans, which was executed in January 2015. In addition to the purchase of the group annuity contract, the Company made lump-sum distributions to new retirees of approximately $29.5 million in 2015. As a result of the purchase of the group annuity contract and the lump-sum distributions, the Company incurred pension settlement charges of $223.2 million during the first nine months of 2015.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects a customary relationship between income tax expense and pretax accounting income based on a mix of expected earnings between the U.S and foreign jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased compared with the same period in 2015 primarily due to higher taxes on foreign earnings, lower U.S. foreign tax credits and U.S. manufacturing deduction, and an increase in expense related to discrete items, partially offset by lower global earnings. Refer to the table below for additional detail of the impact of each item on income tax expense. The quarterly effective tax rate for the remainder of the year, may be subject to some volatility, driven primarily by the impact of potential discrete tax items that may be recorded, including the potential reversal of valuation allowances.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased compared with the same period in 2015 primarily due to higher global earnings and expense related to discrete items, partially offset by lower taxes on foreign earnings, higher U.S. foreign tax credits and the U.S. manufacturing deduction. Refer to the table below for additional detail of the impact of each item on income tax expense.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2015 was calculated as the difference between the income taxes computed for the nine months, as described below, and the year-to-date income taxes recorded as of June 30, 2015. This computation resulted in an effective tax rate of negative 11.4% for the third quarter of 2015, including discrete items. The effective tax rate of negative 11.4% was primarily due to the change in the Company's 2015 forecast and the quarterly variability caused by the large pension settlement charge recorded in the first quarter of 2015.

The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2015 was computed based on an estimated overall annual effective tax rate, which produced a rate of negative 3.2%, including discrete items, for the first nine months of 2015. This rate reflected our geographic mix of earnings, specifically an estimated full year pre-tax loss in the U.S. (primarily driven by pension settlement charges) and earnings in lower tax rate foreign jurisdictions, which was expected to produce a net tax benefit on pre-tax income.

Refer to Note 16 - Income Taxes for more information on the computation of the income tax expense in interim periods.

Business Segments

The Company's reportable segments are business units that serve different industry sectors. While the segments often operate using shared infrastructure, each reportable segment is managed to address specific customer needs in these diverse market sectors. The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is EBIT. Refer to Note 12 - Segment Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the reconciliation of EBIT by segment to consolidated income before income taxes.

The presentation of segment results below includes a reconciliation of the changes in net sales for each segment reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2015 and 2016 and foreign currency exchange rate changes. The effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes on net sales 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 following items highlight the Company's acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2016 and 2015.
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company acquired Lovejoy. Substantially all of the results for Lovejoy are reported in the Process Industries segment based on the customers and underlying markets served.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company sold Timken Alcor Aerospace Technologies, Inc. (Alcor). Results for Alcor prior to the sale were reported in the Mobile Industries segment.
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company acquired Timken Belts. Results for Timken Belts are reported in the Mobile Industries and Process Industries segments based on the customers and underlying markets served.

The Mobile Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes, decreased $46.0 million or 11.6% in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015. The decline in net sales was primarily driven by a decrease in the rail, aerospace, off-highway and heavy truck market sectors. EBIT decreased by $18.9 million or 44.0% in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to unfavorable price/mix of $17 million, the impact of lower volume of $13 million, higher restructuring costs of $4 million and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of $2 million. These factors were offset by lower material and operating costs of $10 million and lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $6 million.
The Mobile Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes, decreased $85.2 million or 7.2% in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. The decline in net sales was primarily driven by a decrease in the off-highway, rail, aerospace and heavy truck market sectors, partially offset by organic growth in the automotive market sector. EBIT decreased by $24.8 million or 21.7% in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 primarily due to unfavorable price/mix of $45 million, the impact of lower volume of $24 million, higher restructuring charges of $15 million, the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of $7 million and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $6 million, partially offset by lower material and operating costs of $48 million and lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $16 million.
Full-year sales for the Mobile Industries segment are expected to be down approximately 8.0% in 2016 compared with 2015. This reflects lower expected volume in the rail, off-highway, aerospace and heavy truck market sectors and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of approximately 1.5%, partially offset by growth in the automotive market sector and the net benefit of acquisitions and divestitures. EBIT for the Mobile Industries segment is expected to decrease in 2016 compared with 2015 due to the impact of unfavorable price/mix, lower volume, higher restructuring charges and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by lower material and operating costs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, 2015 benefited from the gain on the sale of Alcor.

The Process Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate changes, decreased $19.3 million or 6.2% in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the same period in 2015. The decline was primarily due to lower demand across heavy industries (mainly oil and gas), wind energy and industrial services, partially offset by higher military marine revenue. EBIT decreased $2.4 million or 5.6% in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to the impact of lower volume of $8 million, unfavorable price/mix of $6 million and charges related to the Lovejoy acquisition of $2 million, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $7 million and lower material and operating costs of $6 million.
The Process Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate changes, decreased $89.1 million or 9.1% in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. The decline was primarily due to lower demand across the industrial aftermarket, heavy industries (mainly oil and gas) and wind energy, partially offset by higher military marine revenue. EBIT decreased $25.0 million or 17.2% in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 primarily due to the impact of lower volume of $42 million and unfavorable price/mix of $10 million, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $20 million and lower material and operating costs of $8 million.
Full-year sales for the Process Industries segment are expected to be down approximately 7.0% in 2016 compared with 2015. This reflects weaker demand in the industrial aftermarket and the heavy industries and wind energy market sectors and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of approximately 1.5%, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions. EBIT for the Process Industries segment is expected to decrease in 2016 compared with 2015 primarily due to the impact of lower volume, unfavorable price/mix and foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower material and operating costs.

The increase in goodwill, as well as the decrease in deferred income taxes was primarily due to the acquisition of Lovejoy in the third quarter of 2016.
The decrease in other non-current assets was primarily due to the reclassification of $18.6 million of tax payments in India to income taxes payable in order to apply these payments to the underlying liabilities to which they relate. This item was identified during a routine review of the balances in these accounts. Management of the Company concluded that this change from gross to net presentation of these items in the third quarter of 2016 and the presence of the gross presentation in prior periods was immaterial to all periods presented.

The decrease in short-term debt was primarily due to the change in classification of the outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility in accordance with the terms of the agreement and the Company's expectations relative to the minimum borrowing base.
Current portion of long-term debt decreased due to the payment of medium term notes that matured during the third quarter of 2016.
The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to higher days outstanding driven by the Company's initiative to extend payment terms with its suppliers.
The decrease in accrued salaries, wages and benefits was primarily due to the payout of 2015 performance-based compensation of $14.1 million, cost reduction initiatives of $7.1 million and the payout of stock-based compensation that settled in cash of $6.6 million, partially offset by accruals for 2016 performance-based compensation of $13.5 million.

The decrease in income taxes payable was primarily due to tax payments of $37.1 million, the reclassification of $18.6 million of tax payments in India to income taxes payable in order to apply these payments against the underlying liabilities to which they relate and other tax items of $6.4 million, partially offset by tax expenses of $61.1 million.

The decrease in other current liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accruals for goods and services received but not invoiced, accrued interest and lower tax, restructuring and rebate accruals, partially offset by an increase in product warranty accruals.

The decrease in accrued postretirement benefits cost during the first nine months of 2016 was primarily due to postretirement benefit payments of $5.7 million.
The increase in other non-current liabilities during the first nine months of 2016 was primarily due to acquisition related expense of $4.1 million and an increase in non-current income taxes payable of $3.6 million related to current year acquisitions.

Earnings invested in the business in the first nine months of 2016 increased by net income attributable to the Company of $128.5 million, partially offset by dividends declared of $61.4 million.
The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily due to pension and postretirement liability adjustments of $27.0 million, partially offset by foreign currency adjustments of $3.2 million. The pension and postretirement liability adjustments were primarily due to amortization of actuarial losses. The foreign currency translation adjustments were due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies, including the British Pound Sterling, the Chinese Yuan and Mexican Peso. See "Other Matters - Foreign Currency" for further discussion regarding the impact of foreign currency translation.
The increase in treasury shares was primarily due to the Company's purchase of 2.6 million of its common shares for $83.5 million, partially offset by $9.1 million of net shares issued for stock compensation plans during the first nine months of 2016.

The Company presents net debt because it believes net debt is more representative of the Company's financial position than total debt due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company.

At September 30, 2016, approximately $128.2 million of the Company's $129 million of cash and cash equivalents resided in jurisdictions outside the United States. It is the Company's practice to use available cash in the United States to pay down its Senior Credit Facility or Accounts Receivable Facility, in order to minimize total interest expense. As a result, the majority of the Company's cash on hand was outside the United States. Repatriation of these funds to

the United States could be subject to domestic and foreign taxes and some portion may be subject to governmental restrictions. Part of the Company's strategy is to grow in attractive market sectors, many of which are outside the United States. This strategy includes making investments in facilities and equipment and potential new acquisitions. The Company plans to fund these investments, as well as meet working capital requirements, with cash and cash equivalents and unused lines of credit within the geographic location of these investments where possible.

The Company has a $100 million Accounts Receivable Facility, which matures on November 30, 2018. The Accounts Receivable Facility is subject to certain borrowing base limitations and is secured by certain domestic accounts receivable of the Company. Certain borrowing base limitations reduced the availability of the Accounts Receivable Facility to $72.5 million at September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had $68.9 million in outstanding borrowings, which reduced the availability under the facility to $3.6 million. The interest rate on the Accounts Receivable Facility is variable and was 1.41% as of September 30, 2016, which reflects the prevailing commercial paper rate plus facility fees.

The Company has a $500 million Senior Credit Facility, which matures on June 19, 2020. At December 31, 2015, the Senior Credit Facility had outstanding borrowings of $76.2 million, which reduced the availability to $423.8 million. The Senior Credit Facility has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 2016, 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 3.5 to 1.0 (3.75 to 1.0 for a limited period up to four quarters following an acquisition with a purchase price of $200 million or greater). As of September 30, 2016, the Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 1.6 to 1.0. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.5 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's consolidated interest coverage ratio was 12.8 to 1.0.

The interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility is variable with a spread based on the Company's debt rating. This rate was 1.53% as of September 30, 2016. 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 the Senior Credit Facility.

Other sources of liquidity include short-term lines of credit for certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which provide for borrowings of up to approximately $230.3 million. Most of these credit lines are uncommitted. At September 30, 2016, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $11.5 million and bank guarantees of $3.8 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $215.0 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 Accounts Receivable Facility and the Senior Credit Facility. Management 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 September 30, 2016, the Company could have borrowed the full amounts available under the Senior Credit Facility and Accounts Receivable Facility, and would have still been in compliance with its debt covenants.
   
The Company expects cash from operations of approximately $375 million in 2016, comparable to 2015, driven by lower net income excluding non-cash pension settlement and impairment charges, offset by lower tax payments and working capital. The Company expects capital expenditures of approximately 5.0% of sales in 2016, compared with 3.7% of sales in 2015.

Financing Obligations and Other Commitments:

During the first nine months of 2016, the Company made contributions of $13.2 million to its global defined benefit pension plans. The Company currently expects to make contributions to its global defined benefit pension plans in 2016 totaling approximately $15 million. Returns for the Company's U.S. defined benefit plan pension assets for the first nine months of 2016 were approximately 13.2%. Returns for the Company's global defined benefit pension plan assets in 2015 were 0.61%, which was below the expected rate of return of 6.0% predominantly due to decreases in long duration fixed-income markets. The lower returns were largely offset by the impact of a 49 basis point increase in discount rates used to measure the Company's defined benefit pension obligations. Since 2014, the Company has been increasing the percentage of U.S. plan assets allocated to long duration fixed-income and decreasing the exposure to equities in an effort to preserve its over-funded status in the U.S. The Company expects to record pension expense of approximately $60 million for 2016, compared with pension expense of $488.7 million in 2015. The majority of the decrease in pension expense for 2016 is due to lower pension settlement charges in 2016 compared with 2015 due to the two pension annuity purchases in 2015.
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

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 significant changes to its critical accounting policies or estimates, as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

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 each month during the quarter. Related translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a negative foreign currency translation adjustment of $3.2 million that decreased shareholders' equity, compared with a negative foreign currency translation adjustment of $50.5 million that decreased shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The foreign currency translation adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, were negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies, including the British Pound Sterling, the Chinese Yuan and Mexican Peso.

Foreign currency exchange losses resulting from transactions included in the Company's operating results for the third quarter of 2016 were $2.8 million, compared with a gain of $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2015. Foreign currency exchange losses resulting from transactions included in the Company's operating results for the first nine months of 2016 were $5.8 million, compared with a loss of $1.0 million during the first nine months of 2015.
