  • The company plans to prune a single-digit percentage of its portfolio by divesting margin-dilutive businesses, while accelerating organic growth through the globalization of recent acquisitions, such as a linear motion business seeing 20% year-over-year growth in the U.S..
  • Timken maintains a balanced capital allocation strategy, targeting a leverage range of 1.5-2.5 times, which includes share repurchases (over 25% of shares since 2013) and M&A in high-growth sectors like automation and renewable energy.
  • For 2026, the initial organic sales outlook is 2% growth (1% pricing, 1% volume), with an expectation to be price cost positive and recapture margins from tariffs. The 80/20 strategy is projected to incur net costs in H1 2026, be neutral in H2 2026, and generate net gains in H1 2027.
