Timken reported a decrease in first-quarter 2025 sales and net income compared to the prior year, driven by lower end-market demand and unfavorable foreign currency translation. Despite the challenges, the company posted solid results and generated positive free cash flow, while returning cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
First-quarter 2025 sales were $1.14 billion, down 4.2% year-over-year.
Net income for the quarter was $78.3 million, or $1.11 per diluted share.
Adjusted net income was $98.6 million, or $1.40 per diluted share.
Net cash provided by operations was $58.6 million and free cash flow was $23.4 million.
Timken is reducing its full-year 2025 outlook, forecasting earnings per diluted share between $3.90 and $4.40 and adjusted earnings per diluted share between $5.10 and $5.60. The company anticipates 2025 revenue to be in the range of -2.5% to 0% compared to 2024.
