ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
On February 18, 2003, The Timken Company ("Timken") completed the acquisition of
the Engineered Solutions business ("Engineered Solutions" or "Torrington") of
Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited ("IR"). Under the terms of the definitive Stock
and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2002, as amended as of
February 18, 2003, by and between Timken, on behalf of itself and certain of its
subsidiaries, and IR, on behalf of itself and certain of its subsidiaries (the
"Purchase Agreement"), Timken acquired certain IR subsidiaries, including The
Torrington Company, joint venture interests and other assets, including real
property, manufacturing facilities and related machinery and equipment used in
the Engineered Solutions business, effective as of February 16, 2003 (the
"Acquisition"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Timken paid IR cash
consideration of $700 million, which is subject to post-closing purchase price
adjustments, and issued approximately $140 million of Timken's common stock to
Ingersoll-Rand Company, a subsidiary of IR.
Attached as an exhibit are unaudited pro-forma financial information for the six
months ended June 30, 2003, and for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared to assist in the
analysis of the financial effects of Timken's acquisition of the Engineered
Solutions business. The following unaudited pro forma financial statements are
based on Timken's historical consolidated financial statements and the
historical combined financial statements of Engineered Solutions as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2002, and the period from January 1, 2003 to
February 15, 2003. The historical financial statements of Timken and Engineered
Solutions have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. The unaudited pro forma financial statements
should be read in conjunction with Timken's audited consolidated financial
statements and notes included in Timken's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2002, the consolidated condensed unaudited financial
statements and notes included in Timken's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
six months ended June 30, 2003, and the combined financial statements of
Engineered Solutions as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002. The
unaudited pro forma statements of operations give effect to the Acquisition as
if it had occurred at the beginning of the relevant period presented, after
giving effect to certain adjustments, including intercompany sales, the
amortization of intangible assets, interest expense on acquisition debt,
depreciation of fixed assets, employee benefits and income tax effects.
Unaudited pro forma earnings for each quarter presented include higher than
normal cost of products sold, resulting from the one-time write-up of acquired
inventories required by the purchase accounting rules. This charge decreased
earnings per share by approximately $0.05 for both the six months ended June 30,
2003, for the year ended December 31, 2002, based on the preliminary asset
valuation. The unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect pro forma
adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on
available information and certain assumptions Timken believes are reasonable,
but are subject to change. The unaudited pro forma financial statements
presented below do not reflect any anticipated operating efficiencies or cost
savings from the integration of Engineered Solutions into Timken's business.
Timken has made, in its opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present
fairly the pro forma information. The unaudited pro forma financial
2
statements do not purport to represent what Timken's actual results of
operations or financial position would have been if the Acquisition and related
transactions had occurred on such dates or to project Timken's results of
operations or financial position for any future period.
