The Timken Company reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026, revealing a net sales increase of 7.5% to $1,260.9 million, compared to $1,173.4 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2026, net sales rose 7.7% to $2,492.2 million from $2,313.7 million in 2025. However, net income attributable to Timken decreased significantly, falling 63.2% to $28.9 million for the second quarter and 18.9% to $127.1 million for the first half, primarily due to higher impairment charges and increased selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
The company experienced notable operational changes, including the acquisition of Bijur Delimon International on March 18, 2026, for $124.4 million. This acquisition is expected to enhance Timken's position in the automated lubrication systems market. Additionally, Timken announced plans to divest certain assets of its belts business to Gates Industrial Corporation, with an impairment charge of $64.4 million recorded in the second quarter due to the reclassification of these assets as held for sale. The divestiture is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2026.
Timken's operational metrics showed a mixed performance across its segments. The Engineered Bearings segment reported a 3.8% increase in net sales to $807.0 million, while the Industrial Motion segment saw a more substantial 14.6% rise to $453.9 million, driven by higher demand and pricing. The company employed approximately 19,000 people globally, maintaining a strong workforce to support its operations across 44 countries.
Looking ahead, Timken projects a revenue increase of approximately 5% to 6% for the full year 2026, driven by higher demand, favorable pricing, and the impact of acquisitions. However, the company anticipates a slight decline in earnings due to ongoing impairment charges. Timken expects to generate around $550 million in cash from operating activities, consistent with the previous year, while capital expenditures are projected to be about 3.3% of sales. The company remains focused on its strategic goals of profitable growth, operational excellence, and capital deployment to enhance shareholder value.
