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, 2008.2009. Certain amounts in the 20082009 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the 20092010 presentation.
On July 29, 2009, the Company announced it had signed an agreement to sell the assets of its Needle Roller Bearings (NRB) operations to JTEKT Corporation. The financial results for the NRB operations have been reclassified to Discontinued Operations for all periods presented. Refer to Note 18 — Divestitures for further discussion.
During the secondfirst quarter of 2009, the Company evaluatedrecorded 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 classification$18,385 goodwill impairment loss the Company recorded in the fourth quarter of its investments held by2008 for the Company’s operationsMobile 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 concludedSouth 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 large portionthird-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 investments should be considered Cash and cash equivalents onerrors, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s conclusionfirst quarter 2009 results were overstated by $4,056 (after-tax). Management concluded the effect of these adjustments was based on the short-term and highly-liquid nature of the investments. At December 31, 2008, the Company held $23,640 of investments, of which $17,077 has been reclassified from Other current assets to Cash and cash equivalents to conformimmaterial to the 2009 presentation for these investments.
Management has evaluatedCompany’s 2008 and disclosed all material events occurring subsequent to the date of thefirst-quarter 2009 financial statements up to November 9,as well as the full-year 2009 the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.financial statements.
Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued final accounting rules that established the Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as a single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as interpretive releases are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The new accounting rules established two levels of U.S. GAAP — authoritative and non-authoritative. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SECguidance that amended the accounting and reporting standards and was effectivedisclosure requirements for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. The Codification was not intended to change or alter existing U.S. GAAP, and as a result, the new accounting rules establishing the Accounting Standards Codification did not have an impact on the Company’s resultsconsolidation of operations and financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued new accounting rules concerning fair value measurements. The new accounting rules establish a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information to develop those assumptions. Additionally, the new rules expand the disclosures about fair value measurements to include separately disclosing the fair value measurements of assets or liabilities within each level of the fair value hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.variable interest entities. The implementation of the new accounting rules for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities,guidance related to variable interest entities, effective January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to business combinations.

Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting rules on noncontrolling interests. The new accounting rules establish requirements for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company (sometimes called “minority interests”) to be clearly identified, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. All changes in the parent’s ownership interests are required to be accounted for consistently as equity transactions, and any noncontrolling equity investments in deconsolidated subsidiaries must be measured initially at fair value. The new accounting rules on noncontrolling interests are effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. However, presentation and disclosure requirements must be retrospectively applied to comparative financial statements. The implementation of new accounting rules on noncontrolling interests, effective January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued new accounting rules about derivative instruments and hedging activities, which amended previous accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new accounting rules require entities to provide greater transparency through additional disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The new accounting rules are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The implementation of the new accounting rules on derivative instruments and hedging activities, effective January 1, 2009, expanded the disclosures on derivative instruments and related hedged items and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. See Note 16 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for the expanded disclosures.
In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting rules on the two-class method of calculating earnings per share. The new accounting rules clarify that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends are participating securities. The new accounting rules provide guidance on how to allocate earnings to participating securities and compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The new accounting rules are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The new accounting rules on the two-class method of calculating earnings per share did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure of earnings per share. See Note 10 — Earnings Per Share for the computation of earnings per share using the two-class method.
In December 2008, the FASB issued new accounting rules on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. The new accounting rules require the disclosure of additional information about investment allocation, fair values of major categories of assets, development of fair value measurements and concentrations of risk. These new accounting rules are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of the new accounting rules on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting rules for subsequent events. The new accounting rules establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The new accounting rules are effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and were adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of the new accounting rules for subsequent events2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

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 September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 and December 31, 20082009 was $274,950$243,795 and $298,195,$237,669, respectively. The Company’s Steel segment 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 $4,130 and $20,318, respectively,$11,832 during the thirdfirst quarter and first nine months of 2009 as a result of expected lower year-end inventory quantities and material costs, especially scrap steel costs.2009.

Note 14 — Income Taxes (continued)
The effective tax rates onrate in the pretax losses for the thirdfirst quarter and first nine months of 2009 were unfavorable relative to2010 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 as well as the net impact of discrete tax adjustments recorded during the periods.and U.S. state and local taxes. These itemsincreases were partially offset by the earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35% and the net effect.
The first quarter of other U.S. tax items. Application2009 resulted in $18,793 of interim period income tax accounting rules has caused significant volatility in the 2009 quarterly effective tax rates. For the full year of 2009, the Company expects itsexpense, or an effective tax rate toof 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 in the range of 25% to 30%.recorded on losses from unprofitable affiliates.
In the first nine monthsquarter of 2009,2010, 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 unrecognized tax benefits increased by $5,200. This increase represents an increase of $14,200 for tax positions related to prior three fiscal years offset by a decrease of $9,000 related to lapses in statutes of limitation.

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 September 30, 2009:March 31, 2010:

In the first nine months of 2009, assets held for sale of $339,120 and assets held and used of $36,052 were written down to their fair value of $304,570 and impairment charges of $70,602 were included in earnings. During the third quarter, the net assets associated with the pending sale of the NRB business were reclassified to assets held for sale and adjusted for impairment and written down to their fair value of $301,033. In addition, the Company’s equity investment in Endorsia.com International AB was adjusted for impairment and written down to its fair value of $1,000.
Assets held for sale of $4,392 and assets held and used of $1,984, associated with the Company’s former Torrington campus office complex, were written down to zero and an impairment charge was recognized for the full amount. The Company recognized an impairment charge during the second quarter in anticipation of recognizing a loss on the sale of these assets sold on July 20, 2009. The Company subsequently sold the assets for a loss of $689.
Assets held and used associated with the rationalization of the Process Industries’ three Canton, Ohio bearing manufacturing facilities, with a carrying value of $29,815, were written down to their fair value of $2,163, resulting in an impairment charge of $27,652, which was included in earnings for the first nine months of 2009. In addition to the Torrington campus office complex and the rationalization of Process Industries’ facilities, a portion of assets held and used that were part of a larger group of assets and had a total carrying value of $1,907 were found to be impaired during the first nine months of 2009, resulting in an impairment charge of $1,533. A portion of these assets, with a carrying value of $128, were scrapped and written down to zero, while the remaining assets of $1,779 were written down to their fair value of $374.
With the exception of the assets held and used associated with the Torrington campus office complex, the estimated fair value was based on what the Company would receive for used machinery and equipment, if sold. Of the total impairment charge of $70,601 recognized in earnings during the first nine months of 2009, $3,923 was recognized in the first quarter of 2009, $31,707 was recognized in the second quarter of 2009 and $34,971 was recognized in the third quarter of 2009.
The Company has adopted the revisions to the FASB’s accounting rules regarding 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 $447,780$446,060 and $339,640$440,090 at September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2008,2009, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $454,089 and $430,610 at such dates was $429,930March 31, 2010 and $429,000December 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 September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the Company had $208,204$264,415 of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value. The total notional value of foreign currency hedges as of December 31, 20082009 was $239,415.$248,035.

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).

Note 17 — Prior Period Adjustments
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded two adjustments related to its 2008 Consolidated Financial Statements. In the first quarter of 2009, Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest increased by $6,100 (after-tax) due to a correction of an error related to the $48,765 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 fully recognize that a portion of the goodwill impairment loss related to two separate subsidiaries in which the Company holds less than 100% ownership.
In addition, (Loss) Income From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes decreased by $3,400 ($2,044 after-tax) 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 2008 results were understated by $4,056, and the Company’s first quarter 2009 results were overstated by the same amount. Management of the Company concluded the effect of the first quarter adjustments was immaterial to the Company’s 2008 and first quarter 2009 financial statements, as well as the projected full-year 2009 financial statements.
Note 18 — Divestitures
On July 29, 2009, the Company announced it had signed an agreement to sell the assets of its NRB operations to JTEKT Corporation. Upon closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur by the end of 2009 subject to customary regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions, the Company will receive approximately $330,000 in cash proceeds for these operations (including certain receivables to be retained by the Company), subject to 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, as well as bearing assemblies and loose needles, for automotive and industrial applications.

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 byin 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, and inincluding the aftermarket, and to achieve a leadership position in Asia. In December 2007, the Company announced the establishment of a joint venture, Timken XEMC (Hunan) Bearings Co., Ltd., to manufacture ultra-large-bore bearings for the growing Chinese wind energy market. In October 2008, the joint venture broke ground on a new wind energy plant to be built in China. Bearings produced at this facility are expected to be available in 2010. In October 2008, the Company announced that it would expand production at its Tyger River facility in Union, South Carolina to make ultra-large-bore bearings to serve wind-turbine manufacturers in North America.
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 original 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) add core bearing capacityimprove global capabilities through manufacturing initiatives in North America and China. In November 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of EXTEX Ltd. (EXTEX), located in Gilbert, Arizona. EXTEX is a leading designer and marketer of high-quality replacement engine parts for the aerospace aftermarket.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 focusdrive profitable growth by focusing on opportunities where the Company can offer differentiated capabilities while driving profitable growth. In November 2008, the Company opened a new small-bar steel rolling mill to expand its portfolio of differentiated steel products. The new mill enables the Company to competitively produce steel bars down to 1-inch diameter for use in power transmission and friction management applications for a variety of customers, including foreign automakers. In February 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Boring Specialties, Inc. (BSI), a provider of a wide range of precision deep-hole oil and gas drilling and extraction products and services.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 which beganlaunched in 2005 designed to improve the Company’s business processes and systems. TheIn total, the Company expects to invest up to approximately $210 million to $220 million, which includes internal and external costs, to implement Project O.N.E. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the Company has incurred costs of approximately $209.1$211.4 million, of which approximately $118.8$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 the nextan 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. With the completion of the April 2009 installation of Project O.N.E., approximately 80% of the Bearings and Power Transmission Group’s global sales flow through the new system. The nextfinal installation of Project O.N.E. is expected to be completed in AprilMay 2010.

Management’s Discussion With the completion of the May 2010 installation of Project O.N.E., approximately 90% of the Bearings and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)Power Transmission Group’s global sales will flow through the new system.
On July 29,December 31, 2009, the Company announced it had signed an agreement to sellcompleted the sale of the assets of its Needle Roller Bearings (NRB) operations to JTEKT Corporation. Upon closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur by the end of 2009 subject to customary regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions, theCorporation (JTEKT). The Company will receivereceived approximately $330$304 million in cash proceeds for these operations (includingand retained certain receivables, to be retained by the Company), subject to post-sale working capital adjustments. The NRB operations manufacture highly engineered needle roller bearings, including an extensivea range of radial and thrust needle roller bearings, as well as bearing assemblies and loose needles for automotive and industrial applications. The NRB operations have facilities in the United States, Canada, Europe and China. The NRB operations had 20082009 sales of approximately $620$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. The Mobile Industries segment accountedResults for approximately 80 percent of the 2008 sales of the NRB operations. The results of operations were reclassified as Discontinued Operations during the third quarter of 2009 asfor the NRB operations met all the criteria forare presented as discontinued operations, including assets held for sale. Previous results for 2009 and 2008 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation under Discontinued Operations.operations. The Company incurred a pretax impairmentan after-tax loss of approximately $33.7 million during the third quarter of 2009 as the projected proceeds from the sale of NRB operations were lower than net book value of the net assets expected to be transferred as a result of sale of the NRB operations to JTEKT Corporation.

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 20092010 reflects a modest improvement in the global economy following the deteriorating global economic climate that is expectedoccurred throughout 2009. The Company expects sales in 2010 to last throughbe approximately 20% to 25% higher than 2009, primarily driven by stronger sales volume and higher surcharges in the remainder ofSteel segment, as well as higher sales from the year, impacting most of the Company’s market sectors. Lower sales, compared to 2008, are expectedMobile and Process Industries segments, offset by a slight decline in all business segments except for the Aerospace and Defense segment. A significant portion of the decreaseThe Company expects to leverage increases in Steel segment sales is expected tothrough improved operating performance and its 2009 cost reduction initiatives. The strengthening margins will be due to lower surcharges to recover raw material and energy costs, which were at historically high levels during the middle of 2008, but declined dramatically towards the end of 2008. The Company’s results will continue to reflect lower margins as a result of the lower volume and surcharges, partially offset by improved pricing, lower raw material costs and lower selling, administrative and general expenses. In the first quarter of 2009, the Company announced that it plannedhigher expense related to eliminate approximately 400 sales and administrative salaried positions and implement other cost savings initiatives that are targeted to save approximately $80 million in annual selling and administrative expenses.incentive compensation plans.
The Company expects to continue to generate cash from operations for the full year of 2009in 2010 as a result of working capital reductions and lower income taxes, partially offset by higher pension contributions.earnings in 2010, compared to 2009. In addition, the Company expects to reduceincrease capital expenditures by approximately 50%20% in 2009,2010 compared to 2008.

On January 1, 2009, the Company implemented new accounting rules related to noncontrolling interests. The new accounting rules establish requirements for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company (sometimes called “minority interests”) to be clearly identified, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. In addition, the new accounting rules require that net income (loss) attributable to parties other than the Company be separately reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income. In the third quarter of 2009, the net income attributable to noncontrolling interest decreased $0.7 million, compared to the third quarter of 2008, as a result of lower volume for subsidiaries in which the Company holds less than 100% ownership. For the first nine months of 2009, the net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest was a loss of $4.9 million, compared to income of $3.0$0.4 million for the first nine monthsquarter of 2008.2010, compared to a loss of $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2009. In the first quarter of 2009, net income (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest increased by $6.1 million due to a correction of an error related to the $48.8$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 fully 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 projected full-year 2009 financial statements.

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 allocated receipts received or payments made under the U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) and gains and losses on the dissolution of subsidiaries). Refer to Note 1110 — Segment Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the reconciliation of adjusted EBIT by segment to consolidated income before income taxes.
On July 29, 2009, the Company announced it had signed an agreement to sell the assets of its NRB operations to JTEKT Corporation.

The presentation below reconciles the changes in net sales of the Mobile Industriesfor each segment operations 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 20082009 represents the base year for which the effects of currency are measured; as such, currency is assumed to be zero for 2008.2009.

The Mobile Industries segment’s net sales, excluding the effects of currency-rate changes, decreased 21.0%increased 18.4% for the thirdfirst 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 thirdfirst quarter of 2008,2009, primarily due to lowerhigher volume of approximately $110 million, partially offset by improved pricing and favorable sales mix of approximately $20 million. The lower volume was seen across all market sectors, led by a 55% decline in heavy truck demand and a 53% decline in global off-highway demand. Adjusted EBIT was higher in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to lower selling, administrative and general expense of approximately $35 million, improved pricing and favorable sales mix of approximately $5 million, lower material costs of approximately $20 million and lower logistics costs of approximately $10 million, partially offset by the impact of underutilization of manufacturing capacity of approximately $35 million and the impact of lower demand of $30 million. The lower selling, administrative and general expenses reflect actions taken by management to align business activities with market conditions.
The Mobile Industries segment’s net sales, excluding the effects of currency-rate changes, decreased 28.7% for the first nine months of 2009, compared to the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to lower volumebetter manufacturing utilization of approximately $435 million, partially offset by improved pricing and favorable sales mix of approximately $65 million. The lower volume was seen across all market sectors, led by a 31% decline in light vehicle demand, a 57% decline in heavy truck demand and a 45% decline in off-highway demand. Adjusted EBIT was lower in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to the impact of underutilization of manufacturing capacity of approximately $140 million and the impact of lower demand of $80 million, partially offset by improved pricing and favorable sales mix of approximately $60 million, lower selling, administrative and general expenses of $85 million and lower logistics costs of approximately $40$15 million.
The Mobile Industries segment’s sales are expected to decreaseincrease approximately 10% to 20% to 25%percent in the fourth quarter of 2009,2010, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008,2009 full-year results, as demand is expected to be downincrease across allmost of the Mobile Industries’ market sectors. These decreases are expectedsectors, 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 be partially offset by improved pricing.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 decreaseincrease significantly during the fourth quarter of 2009,2010, compared to the same period of the prior year, as lower demand is partially offset by improved pricing and lower selling, administrative and general expenses. In reaction2009, primarily due to the current and anticipated lower demand, the Mobile Industries segment reduced total employment levels by approximately 2,900 positions during the first nine months of 2009. The Company expects to continue to take actions in the Mobile Industries segment to properly align its business with market demand.higher sales volume.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The Steel segment’s net sales for the first nine months of 2009, excluding the effects of acquisitions and currency-rate changes, decreased 63.6% compared to the first nine months of 2008 primarily due to lower volume of approximately $480 million across all market sectors and lower surcharges in the first nine months of 2009, compared to the first nine months of 2008. Surcharges decreased to $69.3 million in the first nine months of 2009 from $543.7 million in the first nine months of 2008. The average scrap index for the first nine months of 2009 was $243 per ton compared to $615 per ton for the first nine months of 2008. Steel shipments for the first nine months of 2009 were 444,411 tons, compared to 919,582 tons for the first nine months of 2008, a decrease of 52%. The Steel segment’s average selling price, including surcharges, was $1,218 per ton for the first nine months of 2009, compared to an average selling price of $1,610 per ton for the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in the average selling prices was primarily the result of lower surcharges. The lower surcharges were the result of lower prices for certain input raw materials, especially scrap steel, molybdenum, natural gas and nickel.
The Steel segment’s adjusted EBIT decreased $327.9 million in the first nine months of 2009, compared to the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to lower surcharges of $475 million, the impact of lower sales volume of approximately $225 million and the impact of the underutilization of capacity of approximately $90 million, partially offset by lower raw material costs of approximately $365 million and lower LIFO charges of $48 million. In the first nine months of 2009, the Steel segment recognized LIFO income of $20.3 million, compared to LIFO expense of $27.3 million in the first nine months of 2008. Raw material costs consumed in the manufacturing process, including scrap steel, alloys and energy, decreased 57% in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the first nine months in the prior year to an average cost of $247$388 per ton.
The Company expects the Steel segment to see a 50%60% to 60% decrease70% increase in sales for the remainder of 2009, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008,2010 due to lowerhigher volume and lower average selling prices. The lower average selling prices are driven by lowerhigher surcharges, as scrap steel and alloy prices have fallenrisen substantially from historically highthe low levels experienced in 2008.2009. The Company also expects lowerhigher demand across most market sectors,markets, primarily driven by a 57% declinean 80% increase in energy marketsindustrial market sectors and a 55% decline50% increase in industrial markets.automotive market sectors. The Company expects the Steel segment’s adjusted EBIT to be significantly lowerhigher in 2010, compared to a loss in 2009, primarily due to the lower demandhigher sales volume and average selling prices, partially offset by lower raw material costs and related LIFO income.surcharges. Scrap alloy and energy costs are expected to increase in the near termshort-term from current levels as global industrial production improves and then level off. As a result of lower projected year-end 2009 scrap costsoff, as are alloy and other raw material costs, compared to year-end 2008, as well as lower quantities, the Steel segment expects to recognize approximately $25 million to $30 million in LIFO income for 2009. In light of the current market demands, the Steel segment reduced total employment levels by approximately 670 positions during the first nine months of 2009. The Company will continue to take actions in the Steel segment to properly align its business with market demand.energy costs.

The decreaseincrease in short-term debt was primarily due to lowerincreased net borrowings by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries under lines of credit due to lowerhigher seasonal working capital requirements. The decreaseincrease in accounts payable and other liabilities was primarily due to lowerhigher volumes. The decreaseincrease in accrued salaries, wages and benefits was the result of the payout of 2008 performance-based compensationaccruals for current-year incentive plans in the first quarter of 2009 and no accrued performance-based compensation for 2009.2010. The decrease in income taxes payable was primarily due to income tax payments during the first nine months of 2009 and benefits recognized on theother current consolidated pretax loss. The resulting receivable balance in income taxes payable was reclassified to Other current assets as of September 30, 2009. Current liabilities of discontinued operations increased due to the reclassification of non-current liabilities related to NRB operations to current liabilities as a result of qualifying as assets held for sale.

Earnings invested in the business decreasedincreased in the first nine monthsquarter of 20092010 by a net lossincome of $113.8$28.6 million, andpartially offset by dividends declared of $34.6$8.7 million. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily due to the positive impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by the recognition of prior-year service costs and actuarial losses for defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans. The increaseplans 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 $54.3$13.2 million was due to the weakeningstrengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, such as the Brazilian real,Euro, the Romanian lei and the British pound, the South African rand, the Czech Republic koruna and the Euro.pound.

The net cash used by investing activities of $75.6$15.1 million for the first ninethree months of 20092010 decreased from the same period in 20082009 primarily due to loweran $18.2 million decrease in capital expenditures in the current year and lower acquisition activity, partially offset by lower proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment.

The Senior Credit Facility matures on July 10, 2012. Under the new 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.

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 $383.3$303.9 million. The majority of these lines are uncommitted. At September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $63.3$30.0 million, against these lines, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $320$273.9 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
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 new Senior Credit Facility. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through at least the term of the new 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 new Senior Credit Facility or other facilities in order to remain in compliance. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the Company could have borrowed up to an additional $432 millionthe full amounts available under the new Senior Credit Facility or other facilities without violatingand 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 new Senior Notes, which mature in September 2014, bear interest at 6.0% per annum.

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 of approximately $65 million in 2009.2010. During the first ninethree months of 2009,2010, the Company has made cash contributions of approximately $55$106 million to its defined benefit pension plans.

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 final accounting rules that established the Accounting Standards Codification as a single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as interpretive releases are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The new accounting rules established two levels of U.S. GAAP — authoritative and non authoritative. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SECguidance that amends the accounting and reporting standards and was effectivedisclosure requirements for the Company beginning July 1, 2009.consolidation of variable interest entities. The Codification was not intended to change or alter existing U.S. GAAP, and as a result,implementation of the new accounting rules establishing the Accounting Standards Codification did not have an impact on results of operations and financial condition.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
In September 2006, the FASB issued accounting rules concerning fair value measurements. The new accounting rules establish a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the informationguidance related to develop those assumptions. Additionally, the new rules expand the disclosures about fair value measurements to include separately disclosing the fair value measurements of assets or liabilities within each level of the fair value hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The implementation of new accounting rules for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities,variable interest entities, effective January 1, 2009,2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to business combinations. The new accounting rules provide revised guidance on how acquirers recognize and measure the consideration transferred, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest and goodwill acquired in a business combination. The new accounting rules expand required disclosures surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. The new accounting rules are effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The implementation of the new accounting rules for business combinations, effective January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting rules on noncontrolling interests. The new accounting rules establish requirements for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company (sometimes called “minority interests”) to be clearly identified, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. All changes in the parent’s ownership interests are required to be accounted for consistently as equity transactions and any noncontrolling equity investments in deconsolidated subsidiaries must be measured initially at fair value. The new accounting rules on noncontrolling interests are effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. However, presentation and disclosure requirements must be retrospectively applied to comparative financial statements. The implementation of new accounting rules on noncontrolling interests, effective January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued new accounting rules about derivative instruments and hedging activities, which amended previous accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new accounting rules require entities to provide greater transparency through additional disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The new accounting rules are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The implementation of the new accounting rules on derivative instruments and hedging activities, effective January 1, 2009, expanded the disclosures on derivative instruments and related hedged item and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. See Note 16 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for the expanded disclosures.
In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting rules on the two-class method of calculating earnings per share. The new accounting rules clarify that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends are participating securities. The new accounting rules provide guidance on how to allocate earnings to participating securities and compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The new accounting rules are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The new accounting rules on the two-class method of calculating earnings per share did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure of earnings per share. See Note 10 — Earnings Per Share for the computation of earnings per share using the two-class method.
In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting rules for subsequent events. The new accounting rules establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The new accounting rules are effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and were adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of the new accounting rules for subsequent events did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2008, the FASB issued new accounting rules on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. The new accounting rules require the disclosure of additional information about investment allocation, fair values of major categories of assets, development of fair value measurements and concentrations of risk. The new accounting rules are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of the new accounting rules on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

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 policiespolicy on Inventory, and Goodwill, 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, 2008,2009, during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2009.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’s Steel segmentCompany recognized $20.3$6.1 million in LIFO incomeexpense for the nine monthsfirst quarter ended September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, compared to LIFO expenseincome of $27.3$11.8 million for the nine monthsfirst quarter ended September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. Based on current expectations of inventory levels and costs, the Steel segmentCompany expects to recognize approximately $25 million to $30$22 million in LIFO incomeexpense for the year ended December 31, 2009.2010. The expected reductionincrease in the LIFO reserve for 20092010 is a result of lowerhigher costs, especially scrap steel costs, as well as lower inventoryhigher quantities. A 1.0% increase in costs would reduceincrease the current LIFO incomeexpense estimate for 20092010 by $1.5$4.2 million. A 1.0% increase in inventory quantities would reduceincrease the current LIFO incomeexpense estimate for 20092010 by $0.7$0.4 million.
Goodwill:
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter after the annual forecasting process is completed. Furthermore, goodwill is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Each interim period, management of the Company assesses whether or not an indicator of impairment is present that would necessitate that a goodwill impairment analysis be performed in an interim period other than during the fourth quarter.
The goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step process. Step one compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, step two is performed, where the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, impairment exists and must be recognized.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company’s reporting units are the same as its reportable segments: Mobile Industries, Process Industries, Aerospace and Defense and Steel. The Company prepares its goodwill impairment analysis by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit, using an income approach (a discounted cash flow model) as well as a market approach, with its carrying value. The income approach and the market approach are equally weighted in arriving at fair value, which the Company has applied consistently.
The discounted cash flow model requires several assumptions including future sales growth, EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) margins and capital expenditures. The Company’s four reporting units each provide their forecast of results for the next three years. These forecasts are the basis for the information used in the discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model also requires the use of a discount rate and a terminal revenue growth rate (the revenue growth rate for the period beyond the three years forecasted by the reporting units), as well as projections of future operating margins (for the period beyond the forecasted three years). During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company used a discount rate for each of its four reporting units ranging from 11% to 12% and a terminal revenue growth rate ranging from 2% to 3%. The difference in the discount rates and terminal revenue growth rates is based on the underlying markets and risks associated with each of the Company’s reporting units.
The market approach requires several assumptions including sales multiples and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) multiples for comparable companies that operate in the same markets as the Company’s reporting units. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company used sales multiples for its four reporting units ranging from 0.4 to 1.0 and EBITDA multiples ranging from 3.8 to 8.0. The difference in the sales multiples and the EBITDA multiples is due to the underlying markets associated with each of the Company’s reporting units.

45


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
As a result of the goodwill impairment analysis performed during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $48.8 million for the Mobile Industries segment in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The fair value of each of the Company’s other reporting units exceeded its carrying value. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $230.0 million of goodwill on its Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $167.6 million was attributable to the Aerospace and Defense segment. See Note 8 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2008 for carrying amount of goodwill by segment. The Aerospace and Defense segment is the only reporting unit in which the fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed the carrying value of the reporting unit by more than 10%. The fair value of this reporting unit was $445.9 million compared to a carrying value of $436.2 million. A 40 basis point increase in the discount rate would have resulted in the Aerospace and Defense segment failing step one of the goodwill impairment analysis, which would have required the completion of step two of the goodwill impairment analysis to arrive at a potential goodwill impairment loss. A 450 basis point decrease in the projected cash flows would have resulted in the Aerospace and Defense segment failing step one of the goodwill impairment analysis, which would have required the completion of step two of the goodwill impairment analysis to arrive at a potential goodwill impairment loss.
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 September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 were $2.5$1.6 million, compared to a gain of $2.4$7.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008. Foreign currency exchange gains included in the Company’s operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $2.9 million, compared to a gain of $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the Company recorded a positivenegative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $31.8$13.2 million that increaseddecreased shareholders’ equity, compared to a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $106.9$44.5 million that decreased shareholders’ equity for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded a positive non-cashMarch 31, 2009. The foreign currency translation adjustment of $54.3 million that increased shareholders’ equity, compared to a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $65.7 million that decreased shareholders’ equity in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The foreign currency translation adjustments for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were positivelyMarch 31, 2010 was negatively impacted by the weakeningstrengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, such as the Brazilian real,Euro, the Romanian lei and the British pound, the South African rand, the Czech Republic korunapound.

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, 2008 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 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 and the Forms 10-Q.
Continued weakness in either global economic conditions or in any of the industries in which our customers operate or sustained uncertainty in financial markets could adversely impact our revenues and profitability by reducing demand and margins.
Our results of operations may be materially affected by the conditions in the global economy generally and in global capital markets. The current global economic downturn has caused extreme volatility in the capital markets and in the end markets in which our customers operate. Our revenues may be negatively affected by continued reduced customer demand, additional changes in the product mix and negative pricing pressure in the industries in which we operate. Margins in those industries are highly sensitive to demand cycles, and our customers in those industries historically have tended to delay large capital projects, including expensive maintenance and upgrades, during economic downturns. As a result, our revenues and earnings are impacted by overall levels of industrial production.
Our results of operations may be materially affected by the conditions in the global financial markets. If an end user cannot obtain financing to purchase our products, either directly or indirectly contained in machinery or equipment, demand for our products will be reduced, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and earnings.
Certain automotive industry companies are experiencing significant financial downturns. While recent bankruptcies of certain automotive industry companies did not result in any material losses to the Company, if any other automotive industry customers become insolvent or file for bankruptcy, our ability to recover accounts receivable from that customer would be adversely affected and any payment we received during the preference period prior to a bankruptcy filing may be potentially recoverable by the bankruptcy estate. Furthermore, if certain of our automotive industry customers liquidate in bankruptcy, we may incur impairment charges relating to obsolete inventory and machinery and equipment. In addition, financial instability of certain companies that participate in the automotive industry supply chain could disrupt production in the industry. A disruption of production in the automotive industry could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and earnings.
We may incur further impairment and restructuring charges that could materially affect our profitability.
We have taken approximately $243 million in impairment and restructuring charges, during the last four years, for the Canton bearing operations, Mobile Industries segment, Bearings and Power Transmission Group and employment and other cost reduction initiatives. We expect to take additional charges in connection with the Canton bearing operations, the Mobile Industries segment, and the employment and cost reduction initiatives. Continued weakness in business or economic conditions, or changes in our business strategy, may result in additional restructuring programs and may require us to take additional charges in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings.

The unprecedented conditions in the financial and credit markets may affect the availability and cost of credit.
The financial and credit markets are experiencing unprecedented levels of volatility and disruption, which has impacted the general availability of credit and resulted in significantly higher financing costs. If we are unable to obtain credit as we need it, our liquidity and ability to operate our business may be adversely impacted.10-K.
We may not be able to maintain compliance withrealize the covenants containedanticipated 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 debt agreement.
We reportedbusinesses as a net loss for the third quarter and first nine monthsresult of 2009. The U.S. and global industrial manufacturing downturn deepened during 2009 and contributed to a decrease in our sales and profitability. We cannot foresee whether our operations will generate sufficient revenue for us to attain profitability in the future, and we may not be able to reduce fixed costs sufficiently to improve our operating ratios.
In addition, our new Senior Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to achieve certain financial and operating results and maintain compliance with specified financial ratios. In particular, our new Senior Credit Facility contains requirements relating to a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and a minimum consolidated net worth. These covenants could, among other things, limit our ability to borrow against the new Senior Credit Facility or other facilities. Further, our ability to meet the financial covenants or requirements in our new Senior Credit Facility may be affected by events beyond our control, and we may not be able to satisfynumber of obstacles, such covenants and requirements. A breach of these covenants or our inability to comply with the financial ratios, tests or other restrictions could result in an event of default under our new Senior Credit Facility, which in turn could result in an event of default under the terms of our other indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our new Senior Credit Facility, after the expiration of any grace periods, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our new Senior Credit Facility, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If this happens, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full the payments due under that facility or our other indebtedness.
In addition, if we are unable to service our indebtedness or fund our operating costs, we will be forced to adopt alternative strategies that may include:as:
  further reducingthe loss of key associates or delaying capital expenditures;customers;
 
  seeking additional debt financing or equity capital, possibly at a higher costthe failure to us ormaintain the quality of customer service that we have other terms that are less attractive to us than would otherwise be the case;historically provided;
 
  selling assets;the need to coordinate geographically diverse organizations; and
 
  restructuring or refinancing debt, which may increase furtherthe resulting diversion of management’s attention from our financing costs; or
curtailing or eliminating certain activities.day-to-day business and the need to dedicate additional management personnel to address obstacles to the implementation of Project O.N.E.
Moreover,If we mayare not be ablesuccessful in executing, or operating under, Project O.N.E., or if it fails to implement any of these strategies on satisfactory terms, if at all.
Work stoppages or similar difficulties could significantly disruptachieve the anticipated results, then our operations, reduce our revenuesmargins, sales and materially affect our earnings.
A work stoppage at one or more of our facilitiesreputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, if one or more of our customers were to experience a work stoppage, that customer would likely halt or limit purchases of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.be adversely affected.
