                      THE TIMKEN COMPANY ANNOUNCES RESULTS
                           FOR 2003 AND FOURTH QUARTER

     CANTON, OH - January 22, 2004 - The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR) today
reported record 2003 sales of $3.8 billion, a 49 percent increase from the prior
year. Excluding the impact of the February 2003 acquisition of The Torrington
Company, sales grew approximately 8 percent, including 3 percent related to
foreign currency translation. Timken achieved 2003 net income of $36.5 million
or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with $38.7 million or $0.62 per diluted
share for the prior year. Adjusted 2003 net income was $56.0 million or $0.67
per diluted share compared to $53.3 million or $0.87 per diluted share in 2002,
excluding the impact of special items discussed below and the cumulative effect
of change in accounting principle in 2002.

     In commenting on 2003 results, James W. Griffith, president and CEO, said:
"2003 was a pivotal year for The Timken Company. Our $840 million strategic
acquisition of Torrington was accretive to earnings and added $1 billion in new
sales. We leveraged our balance sheet higher to purchase Torrington with debt
peaking at more

than $1 billion during the year, but we have since reduced this
level by nearly $300 million. While we were disappointed in our 2003 earnings
performance, the year ended with signs of improvement. We will continue to focus
on returns to our shareholders by providing better value to our customers, as we
grow opportunities and synergies created by the acquisition. Our actions in 2003
set the course for improved performance and created a solid foundation for our
future."

     During 2003, the company:

     -    Acquired the Torrington Company -- the largest acquisition in Timken
          history-- and completed the first phase of integration. For 2003, the
          company achieved pretax integration cost savings of $28 million -- $8
          million above the stated target for the year -- primarily by
          leveraging the combined purchasing spend of the two companies and
          reducing employment.

     -    Reduced debt following the Torrington acquisition. Year-end debt was
          $735 million, or 40 percent of total capitalization.

     -    Raised $375 million in proceeds, before expenses, from equity
          offerings totaling 25.5 million common shares, including 9.4 million
          shares issued for $140 million of the purchase price for Torrington.

     -    Divested non-strategic assets, generating gross proceeds of $170
          million.

     -    Closed two industrial plants and rationalized production across
          automotive plants.


     -    Generated cash of $31 million in the Steel Group, despite a difficult
          economic environment.


     -    Began construction of the company's fourth bearing plant in China
          through a joint venture.

     The 2003 reported income includes the following special pretax items that
are excluded from

adjusted results.

     -    $66 million of income received under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy
          Offset Act (CDSOA), which requires that tariffs collected on dumped
          imports be directed to the industries harmed.

     -    Restructuring, integration, reorganization and certain other charges
          in 2003 of $49 million, principally due to costs of integrating the
          Torrington acquisition.

     -    Non-recurring, non-cash impairment charge of $46 million in the fourth
          quarter relating to PEL Technologies, a joint venture investment of
          our Steel Group.


     FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
     ----------------------

     For the quarter ended December 31, 2003, sales were a record $1.0 billion,
an increase of 58 percent from a year ago. Excluding the impact of Torrington,
sales grew approximately 10 percent, including 4 percent related to foreign
currency translation.

      Fourth quarter 2003 net income was $22.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted
share. Excluding special items, the company reported adjusted fourth quarter net
income of $23.3 million or $0.26 per diluted share versus $12.0 million or $0.19
per diluted share a year ago. Excluding the impact of Torrington, fourth quarter
earnings per diluted share were $0.01.

     Fourth quarter performance was driven by the Torrington acquisition.
Torrington's fourth quarter results reflect seasonally strong volume, product
mix, cost savings and the positive impact of acquisition and timing-related
accrual adjustments.

     The segment results that follow exclude special charges for all periods.
They also reflect for all periods a reorganization of the Automotive and
Industrial Groups that occurred in the first quarter of 2003. Automotive
distribution operations are now reported as part of the Industrial Group.
Additionally, company sales to emerging markets -- principally in central and
eastern


                                      3

THE TIMKEN COMPANY





Europe and Asia-- previously were reported as part of the Industrial
Group. Emerging market sales to automotive original equipment manufacturers are
now included in the Automotive Group.

     AUTOMOTIVE GROUP RESULTS
     ------------------------

     In 2003, Automotive Group sales increased 86 percent to $1.4 billion due
primarily to the Torrington acquisition. Excluding Torrington, Timken sales grew
9 percent, which included recent new product launches at Ford and Nissan for the
light truck market.

     Automotive Group earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in 2003 were
$15.7 million compared with $11.1 million in 2002, with the increase in earnings
due to the addition of Torrington. Excluding the Torrington acquisition, the
Automotive Group reported sales in 2003 of $822.1 million and a loss of $7.7
million.

     Automotive Group results reflected significantly higher costs in 2003 due
to problems in executing the restructuring of automotive plants. This impacted
both Timken and Torrington operations globally. The Automotive Group began to
see some improvement from the rationalization initiatives in the fourth quarter.

     The Automotive Group announced in the second half of 2003 that it would
reduce manufacturing expenses, including workforce reductions of more than 700
positions, to achieve the benefits of rationalization programs and adjust to
reduced demand. During the second half, workforce reductions exceeded 750.

     In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Automotive Group recorded sales of
$374.6 million, nearly twice the sales recorded a year ago. Fourth quarter 2003
sales increased primarily due to the Torrington acquisition but also benefited
from 12 percent growth in the traditional Timken business.


                                      4

THE TIMKEN COMPANY





     Automotive Group EBIT was $8.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2003
compared with $7.7 million for the same period a year ago. Excluding Torrington,
the Group incurred a loss in the 2003 fourth quarter of $5.1 million. Despite
benefiting from increased sales, the Group incurred expenses in the 2003 fourth
quarter associated with the manufacturing cost reductions as well as
expenditures related to new ventures to grow the business.

     INDUSTRIAL GROUP RESULTS
     ------------------------

     Industrial Group 2003 sales increased 54 percent from the prior year to
$1.5 billion. The sales increase reflected the acquisition of Torrington and the
favorable effect of foreign currency. Many markets served by the Industrial
Group remained relatively flat during the year.

     Industrial Group 2003 EBIT was $128.0 million, compared with $73.0 million
in 2002. The increase reflected the addition of Torrington, the effect of the
company's continued manufacturing improvement initiatives and improved European
results. Excluding the impact of Torrington, the Industrial Group had 2003 EBIT
of $94.8 million on sales of $1.0 billion.

     Industrial Group sales in the 2003 fourth quarter increased 69 percent to
$418.2 million from the prior year, reflecting the addition of Torrington and
the favorable effect of foreign currency. Fourth quarter EBIT was $44.5 million,
compared with $17.7 million a year earlier. Excluding Torrington, fourth quarter
sales were $270.3 million and EBIT was $15.8 million.

      Fourth quarter results reflected strong distribution sales and improving
industrial order activity in the heavy industries, power transmission,
off-highway and consumer markets.

     STEEL GROUP RESULTS
     -------------------

     Despite challenging market conditions, Steel Group 2003 sales, including
inter-segment sales, were $1.0 billion, up 5 percent from 2002. The increase
reflected penetration gains in industrial markets and increased demand from
automotive and industrial customers. The group



                                      5

THE TIMKEN COMPANY





recorded a loss of $6.0 million in 2003 versus EBIT of $32.5 million in 2002.
Steel Group performance in 2003 was negatively impacted by extremely high costs
for scrap steel, natural gas and alloys.

     Steel Group sales, including inter-segment sales, were $257.3 million in
the fourth quarter of 2003, an increase of 7 percent from the prior year. The
sales improvement resulted from increased demand from automotive and industrial
customers. Inter-segment sales were lower due to the raw material conversion in
bearing processes from tubing to forged components.

     The group recorded a 2003 fourth quarter loss of $4.2 million before
interest and taxes, compared with EBIT of $0.2 million a year ago. Performance
was negatively affected by high raw material and energy costs and lower
inter-segment sales, which could not be fully offset by higher external sales,
implementation of new raw material surcharges, price increases and higher
production levels.

     OUTLOOK
     -------

     We expect improved performance in 2004 across all three segments. We
currently expect earnings per diluted share, excluding special items to be $0.85
to $1.00 for the year and $0.15 to $0.20 for the first quarter. North American
industrial markets are expected to grow slowly from low 2003 levels, while
strong growth is expected in emerging markets. North American automotive
production is expected to be up slightly. Medium and heavy truck production
should strengthen further, and better Automotive Group profitability is expected
with continued manufacturing improvements. Steel profitability is expected to be
challenged by continued high raw material and energy costs and lower
inter-segment sales.

     Mr. Griffith said: "We are encouraged by our solid finish in 2003, and we
are looking forward to building on this foundation in 2004."

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, the statements
contained in the paragraph under the heading "Outlook" are forward-looking. The
Company cautions that actual results may differ materially from those projected

timing and amount of the resources required to achieve those results; risks
associated with diversion of management's attention from operations during the
integration process; risks associated with the greater level of debt associated
with the acquisition; and the impact on operations of general economic
conditions, higher raw material and energy costs, the cyclicality of the
Company's business, fluctuations in customer demand and the Company's ability to
achieve the benefits of its ongoing programs, including the implementation of
its manufacturing transformation and rationalization activities. These and

*Automotive Bearings, Industrial Bearings and Steel EBIT do not equal
Consolidated EBIT due to intersegment adjustments which are eliminated upon
consolidation.

(1) "Adjusted" statements exclude the impact of impairment and restructuring,
integration/reorganization and special charges for all periods shown, and
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle recognized in 2002.

(2) EBIT is defined as operating income plus other income (expense). EBIT Margin
is EBIT as a percentage of net sales. EBIT and EBIT margin on a segment basis
exclude certain special items set forth above. EBIT and EBIT Margin are
important financial measures used in the management of the business, including
decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.
Management believes that reporting EBIT and EBIT Margin best reflect the
performance of our business segments, and EBIT disclosures are responsive to
investors.

(3) Automotive Group and Industrial Group 2002 segment results have been
adjusted for the 2003 reclassification of Automotive Distribution and Emerging
Markets' results.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET INCOME AND EPS - BASIC AND DILUTED AS PREVIOUSLY
DISCLOSED.

This reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the
company's performance. Management believes adjusted net income and adjusted
earnings per share are more representative of the company's performance, and
therefore useful to investors. Management also believes that it is appropriate
to compare GAAP net income to adjusted net income in light of special items
related to impairment and restructuring and integration/reorganization costs,
one-time gains/losses on sales of assets, Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset
Act (CDSOA) receipts and payments and cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle.

(8) "Adjusted" statements exclude the impact of impairment and restructuring and
integration/reorganization expenses and special items for all periods shown.

RECONCILIATION OF OUTLOOK INFORMATION -
Expected net income per diluted share for the full year and the first quarter
exclude special items. Examples of such special items include impairment and
restructuring, integration/reorganization expenses and payments under the CDSOA.
It is not possible at this time to identify the potential amount or significance
of these special items. We cannot predict whether we will receive any payments
under the CDSOA in 2004 and if so, in what amount. If we do receive any CDSOA
payments, they will be received in the fourth quarter.
