Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
New Accounting Guidance Issued and Not Yet Adopted:
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 40). ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments require that all entities disclose on an annual basis the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated for federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold. For public entities, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is preparing to adopt this guidance in 2025.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). ASU 2023-07 requires that a public entity disclose: (1) on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (2) on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition; and (3) the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed and each reported measure of segment profit or loss. For public entities, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is preparing to adopt the new disclosure requirements beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Note 3 - Acquisitions and Divestitures(continued)
In determining the fair value of amounts above, the Company utilized a benchmarking approach based on the Company's prior acquisitions to determine the preliminary fair values for identified intangibles assets and inventory. Upon completion of the final valuation and purchase price allocation, the final fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill may differ materially from the preliminary assessment. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded to those assets and liabilities and any residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.
The amounts in the table above represent the preliminary purchase price allocation for CGI. This purchase price allocation, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, is subject to change as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations are obtained and management completes its reassessment of the measurement period procedures based on the results of the preliminary valuation. Given the proximity of the acquisition date to September 30, 2024, no elements of the purchase price allocation have been finalized as of September 30, 2024. During the applicable measurement period, the Company will adjust assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values for those assets or liabilities as of that date. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values will be reflected as if the adjustments has been completed on the acquisition date.

Note 3 - Acquisitions and Divestitures (continued)
In determining the fair value of the amounts above, the Company utilized various forms of the income, cost and market approaches depending on the asset or liability being valued. The estimation of fair value required judgment related to future net cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, market comparisons and other factors. As a result, the Company utilized third-party valuation specialists to assist in determining the fair value of certain assets. Inputs were generally determined by considering independent appraisals and historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions.
The amounts in the table above represent the purchase price allocation for the 2023 acquisitions as of the dates noted above. This purchase price allocation, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, has been adjusted as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations have been obtained, and management has completed its reassessment of the measurement period procedures. The purchase price allocation for Lagersmit is preliminary with respect to the valuation of inventory and intangible assets and any impact to the related deferred taxes, as well as changes to the residual amount allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocations for iMECH, Rosa, Des-Case, Nadella and ARB are complete. During the applicable measurement period, the Company will adjust assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values for those assets or liabilities as of that date. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values will be reflected as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date.
Divestitures:
On September 20, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell Jiangsu TWB Bearings Co., Ltd. ("TWB").

When reviewing revenue by sales channel, the Company separates net sales to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") from sales to distributors and end users. The following table presents the approximate percent of revenue by sales channel for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
Nine Months Ended Nine Months Ended
Revenue by sales channel September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023
Original equipment manufacturers 55% 60%
Distribution/end users 45% 40%
In addition to disaggregating revenue by segment, geography and by sales channel as shown above, the Company believes information about the timing of transfer of goods or services and type of customer is also relevant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, approximately 10% and 9%, respectively, of total net sales were recognized over-time because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer, with the remainder recognized as of a point in time. Finally, business with the United States ("U.S.") government or its contractors represented approximately 6% of total net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
Remaining Performance Obligations:
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options. Performance obligations having a duration of more than one year are concentrated in contracts for certain products and services provided to the U.S. government or its contractors. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately $178.0 million at September 30, 2024.

Note 6 - Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying the estimated annual effective tax rates to income or loss before income taxes for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items are recorded during the period(s) in which they occur.
Three Months Ended
September 30, 		Nine Months Ended
September 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Provision for income taxes $ 24.6 $ 33.3 $ 103.2 $ 122.9
Effective tax rate 21.9 % 26.8 % 25.6 % 26.2 %
Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was calculated using forecasted multi-jurisdictional annual effective tax rates to determine a blended annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the actual and projected mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with relatively higher tax rates, U.S. state and local income taxes, and other permanent differences (net).
The effective tax rate of 21.9% and 25.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, was lower than the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, primarily due to the net favorable impact of discrete items versus the year ago periods.
On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released Pillar Two model rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. Certain jurisdictions, in which the Company operates, enacted, or announced their intention to enact, legislation consistent with one or more OECD Pillar Two model rules. The model rules include minimum domestic top-up taxes, income inclusion rules, and undertaxed profit rules all aimed to ensure that multinational companies pay a minimum effective corporate tax rate of 15% in each jurisdiction in which they operate, with some rules effective in 2024. Management does not expect Pillar Two legislation to materially impact the Company's annual effective tax rate in 2024.

Diluted earnings per share $ 1.16 $ 1.23 $ 3.98 $ 4.63
The dilutive effect of performance-based restricted stock units is taken into account once they have met minimum performance thresholds. The dilutive effect of stock options includes all outstanding stock options except stock options that are considered antidilutive. Stock options are antidilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average market price of the Company's common shares during the periods presented. There were no antidilutive stock options outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Note 8 - Inventories
The components of inventories at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:
September 30,
2024 		December 31,
2023
Manufacturing supplies $ 44.1 $ 41.9
Raw materials 154.0 145.6
Work in process 517.5 496.1
Finished products 630.5 619.2
Subtotal 1,346.1 1,302.8
Allowance for obsolete and surplus inventory (90.8) (73.7)
Total inventories, net $ 1,255.3 $ 1,229.1
Inventories are valued at net realizable value, with approximately 61% valued on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method and the remaining 39% valued on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. The majority of the Company's U.S. inventories are valued on the LIFO method. The Company's non-U.S. inventories are valued on the FIFO method.
The LIFO reserves as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $251.7 million and $232.1 million, respectively. 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 are based on current 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.

Note 9 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, performing its annual impairment test as of October 1st. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Engineered Bearings segment has one reporting unit and the Industrial Motion segment has six reporting units.
During the first three months of 2023, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment for its reporting units due to the change in reporting segments that went into effect January 1, 2023. The Company utilized both an income approach and a market approach in testing goodwill for impairment. The Company utilized updated forecasts for the income approach as part of the goodwill impairment review. Based on the earnings and cash flow forecasts for the Belts & Chain reporting unit within the Industrial Motion segment, the Company determined that the reporting unit could not support the carrying value of its goodwill. As a result, the Company recorded a pretax impairment loss of $28.3 million during the first three months of 2023, which was reported in impairment and restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:
Engineered Bearings Industrial Motion Total
Beginning balance, January 1 $ 692.3 $ 677.3 $ 1,369.6
Acquisitions - 79.8 79.8
Foreign currency translation adjustments and other changes 8.2 7.9 16.1
Ending balance $ 700.5 $ 765.0 $ 1,465.5
The acquisition of CGI added goodwill of $79.8 million in 2024. Goodwill arising from this acquisition is attributed to the expected synergies, including future cost savings, and other benefits expected to be generated by combining the companies. The goodwill related to CGI is not deductible for tax purposes.

Amortization expense for intangible assets is projected to be approximately $86 million in 2024; $84 million in 2025; $81 million in 2026; $78 million in 2027; and $77 million in 2028.

Note 11 - Financing Arrangements (continued)
The Company is party to a $100 million Amended and Restated Asset Securitization Agreement (the "Accounts Receivable Facility"), which matures on November 30, 2026. Under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Facility, the Company sells, on an ongoing basis, certain domestic trade receivables to Timken Receivables Corporation, a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary that, in turn, uses the trade receivables to secure borrowings that are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial paper in the short-term market. Borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility may be limited by certain borrowing base limitations; however, availability under the Accounts Receivable Facility was not reduced by any such borrowing base limitations at September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, there were $72 million outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $28 million. The cost of this facility, which is the prevailing commercial paper rate plus facility fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement"), which is comprised of a $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility ("Senior Credit Facility") and a $400 million unsecured term loan facility ("2027 Term Loan") that each mature on December 5, 2027. The interest rates under the Credit Agreement are based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). At September 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement has two financial covenants: a consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio.
On May 23, 2024, the Company issued fixed-rate unsecured senior notes ("2034 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of €600 million with an interest rate of 4.125%, maturing on May 23, 2034. Proceeds from the 2034 Notes were used for the redemption of the Company's outstanding fixed-rate unsecured senior notes ("2024 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $350 million, that were due to mature on September 1, 2024, as well as the repayment of other debt outstanding at the time of issuance.
At September 30, 2024, the Company was in full compliance with all applicable covenants on its outstanding debt.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company utilizes standby letters of credit issued by financial institutions to guarantee certain obligations, most of which relate to certain insurance contracts and indirect taxes. At September 30, 2024, outstanding letters of credit totaled $58.2 million, most with expiration dates within 12 months.
The maturities of long-term debt (including $8.7 million of finance leases) subsequent to September 30, 2024 are as follows:
Year
2024 $ 7.8
2025 29.1

Note 12 - Supply Chain Financing
The Company offers a supplier finance program with two different financial institutions where suppliers may receive early payment from the financial institutions on invoices issued to the Company. The Company and each financial institution entered into arrangements whereby the Company pays the financial institution per the terms of any supplier invoice paid early under the program and pays an annual fee for the supplier finance platform subscription and related support. The Company or the financial institutions may terminate participation in the program with 90 days' written notice. The supplier finance programs are unsecured and are not guaranteed by the Company. The financial institutions enter into separate arrangements with suppliers directly to participate in the program. The Company does not determine the terms or conditions of such arrangements or participate in the transactions between the suppliers and the financial institutions. The supplier invoice terms under the program typically require payment in full within 90 days of the invoice date.
The following table is a rollforward of the outstanding obligations for the Company's supplier finance program for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and twelve months ended December 31, 2023:

Note 13 - Contingencies
The Company is responsible for environmental remediation at various manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company. On December 28, 2004, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA") sent Lovejoy, LLC ("Lovejoy") a Special Notice Letter that identified Lovejoy as a potentially responsible party, for investigation and remediation obligations at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site, Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the "Site") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, known as the Superfund, or similar state laws. Claims for investigation and remediation have been asserted against Lovejoy and at least 14 unrelated parties, which are believed to be financially solvent and are expected to fulfill their proportionate share of the obligation. The Company acquired Lovejoy in 2016. Lovejoy's Downers Grove property is situated within the Ellsworth Industrial Complex. The USEPA and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("IEPA") allege there have been one or more releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, including, but not limited to, a release or threatened release on or from Lovejoy's property at the Site. Lovejoy's allocated share of past and future costs related to the Site, including for investigation and/or remediation, could be significant. All previously pending property damage and personal injury lawsuits against Lovejoy related to the Site were settled or dismissed prior to our acquisition of Lovejoy.
In addition, governmental authorities in the United States and the European Union are increasingly focused on regulating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"). PFAS regulations are applicable to portions of the Company's products, and conditions may develop, arise or be discovered that create environmental compliance or remediation liabilities at certain of its facilities.
The Company had total environmental accruals of $4.5 million and $4.7 million for various known environmental matters that are probable and reasonably estimable at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which includes the Lovejoy matter described above. These accruals were recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred considering the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties. The ultimate resolution of these matters could result in actual costs that exceed amounts accrued.

Note 13 - Contingencies(continued)
Legal Matter:
On June 11, 2024, the Company's subsidiary, Timken India Limited ("TIL"), received a government order claiming damages (penalties and interest) totaling approximately $12.4 million. The order relates to the closure of TIL's retirement trust for employees and subsequent transfer of trust assets to the government-administered Employees' Provident Fund Organization ("EFPO"). The order alleges that the surrender of trust assets did not follow applicable EFPO timing guidelines. TIL believes it fully complied with EFPO requirements and guidelines under the circumstances. TIL is disputing the merits of the order and has filed an appeal with the high court in India having jurisdiction over the matter. Management believes that relief will be provided to TIL once the matter is fully adjudicated; accordingly, no liability has been recorded. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Company does not believe that the final resolution will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, the effect of any future outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized.
Product Warranties:
In addition to the contingencies above, the Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products. The product warranty liability included in "Other current liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $17.1 million and $15.2 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The balances at the end of each respective period represent the best estimates of costs for existing and future claims for products that are still under warranty. The liability primarily relates to accruals for products sold into the automotive and wind energy sectors. Accrual estimates are based on actual claims and expected trends that continue to mature. In addition, the Company continues to evaluate claims raised by certain customers with respect to the performance of bearings sold into the wind energy and automotive sectors. Management believes that the outcome of these claims will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position; however, the effect of a change in our assessment may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which such change occurs.
The following is a rollforward of the consolidated product warranty accrual for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and twelve months ended December 31, 2023:

Note 19 - Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to 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 tables present the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Liabilities:
Foreign currency forward contracts $ 11.4 $ - $ 11.4 $ -
Total liabilities $ 11.4 $ - $ 11.4 $ -
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased that are valued at redemption value. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between 91 days and one year, and generally are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. A portion of the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are valued based on net asset value. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts.

Table of Contents
Note 19 - Fair Value (continued)
In addition, the Company remeasures certain assets at fair value, using Level 3 inputs, as a result of the occurrence of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions or goodwill impairment.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, certain engineering-related assets used in the business, with a carrying value of $2.0 million, were written down to their fair value of zero, resulting in an impairment charge of $2.0 million. The fair value for these assets was determined based on an estimate of the best price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the assets to a third party less the cost to sell the assets.
No other material assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Financial Instruments:
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Due to the nature of fair value calculations for variable-rate debt, the carrying value of the Company's long-term variable-rate debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value. The fair value of the Company's long-term fixed-rate debt, based on Level 2 inputs (quoted market prices), was $1,737.4 million and $1,387.7 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $1,734.4 million and $1,424.3 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The difference between fair value and carrying value primarily reflects the net impact of changes in prevailing interest rates and credit spreads since the fixed-rate debt was issued.
The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.
29
Table of Contents
Note 20 - 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 foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of the Company's commitments denominated in foreign currencies. From time to time, interest rate swaps are used 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 cash flow hedges of fixed-rate borrowings.
On May 23, 2024, the Company designated its 2034 Notes as a hedge against its net investment in one of its European subsidiaries. The objective of the hedge transaction is to protect the net investment in the foreign operations against change in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. The net impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was a loss of $25.3 million and $19.2 million to accumulated comprehensive (loss) income, respectively.
On September 15, 2020, the Company designated €54.5 million of its €150.0 million fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, maturing on September 7, 2027, as a hedge against its net investment in one of its European subsidiaries. The objective of the hedge transaction is to protect the net investment in the foreign operations against changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. The net impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was a loss of $2.3 million and $0.5 million to accumulated comprehensive (loss) income, respectively.
The Company does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $734.3 million and $591.8 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value. Refer to Note 19 - Fair Value for the fair value disclosure of derivative financial instruments.
Cash Flow Hedging Strategy:
For certain derivative instruments that are designated 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 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.
To protect against a reduction in the value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted cash flows denominated in certain foreign currencies with forward contracts. When the dollar strengthens significantly against these 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. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $69.1 million and $73.8 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value that were classified as cash flow hedges.
The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecast transactions is generally eighteen months or less.

Note 20 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (continued)
Purpose for Derivative Instruments not designated as Hedging Instruments:
For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the instruments are typically forward contracts. In general, the practice is to reduce volatility by selectively hedging transaction exposures including intercompany loans, accounts payable and accounts receivable. Intercompany loans between entities with different functional currencies typically are hedged with a forward contract at the inception of the loan with a maturity date corresponding to the maturity of the loan. The revaluation of these contracts, as well as the revaluation of the underlying balance sheet items, is recorded directly to the income statement so the adjustment generally offsets the revaluation of the underlying balance sheet items to protect cash payments and reduce income statement volatility.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $665.2 million and $518.0 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value that were not designated as hedging instruments. The following table presents the impact of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the related location within the Consolidated Statements of Income:

Net sales decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower organic demand in China and Europe, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures) and favorable pricing.
Net income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the impact of lower volume, higher logistics costs, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, and higher selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs, partially offset by the gain on the sale of a former bearing manufacturing plant, favorable price/mix, lower impairment and restructuring charges and the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures). Net income decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the impact of lower volume, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, and higher interest expense, partially offset by favorable price/mix, lower impairment charges, the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures), the gain on the sale of a former bearing manufacturing plant, and lower manufacturing and SG&A costs.
Outlook:
The Company expects 2024 full-year revenue to be down approximately 4% compared to 2023, driven by lower demand and unfavorable currency impact, partially offset by the favorable impact from acquisitions (net of divestitures) and favorable pricing. The Company's net earnings are expected to be down in 2024 compared with 2023, primarily due to the impact of lower sales volume, higher operating costs, higher interest expense and a higher income tax rate, partially offset by favorable price/mix, lower impairment and pension remeasurement charges, and the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures).
The Company expects to generate a lower amount of cash from operating activities in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to lower expected net income. The Company expects capital expenditures to remain flat in 2024 compared to 2023, and relatively in line with 2023 spending as a percentage of sales (4.0%).

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2024 compared with the first nine months of 2023 was due to a decrease in cash used for acquisitions of $297.0 million, an increase in cash from the net liquidation of short-term marketable securities of $22.1 million, lower capital expenditures of $18.5 million, and higher proceeds from disposals of fixed assets of $15.8 million, offset partially by lower proceeds from divestitures of $4.2 million.
Financing Activities:
The change in net cash used in/provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2024 compared with the first nine months of 2023 was due to a decrease in net borrowings of $406.8 million and lower proceeds from the sale of shares of TIL during the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period in the amount of $52.5 million, and the impact of other items (net), partially offset by a decrease in the purchase of treasury shares of $187.0 million.

The Company presents net debt because it believes net debt is more representative of the Company's financial position than total debt due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company and the ability to utilize such cash and cash equivalents to reduce debt if needed.
At September 30, 2024, the Company had strong liquidity with $412.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as well as $778.0 million available under committed credit lines. Of the $412.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $381.2 million resided in jurisdictions outside the United States. Repatriation of non-U.S. cash could be subject to taxes and some portion may be subject to governmental restrictions. Part of the Company's strategy is to grow in attractive market sectors, many of which are outside the United States. This strategy includes making investments in facilities, equipment and potential new acquisitions. The Company plans to fund these investments, as well as meet working capital requirements, with cash and cash equivalents and unused lines of credit within the geographic location of these investments where feasible.
On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which is comprised of a $750.0 million Senior Credit Facility and a $400.0 million 2027 Term Loan that each mature on December 5, 2027. The interest rates under the Credit Agreement are based on SOFR. At September 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement has two financial covenants: a consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. The maximum consolidated net leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.5 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio was 2.14 to 1.0. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.0 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's consolidated interest coverage ratio was 7.48 to 1.0.
The interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility is variable with a spread based on the Company's debt rating. The average rate on outstanding U.S. dollar borrowings was 6.24% and the average rate on outstanding Euro borrowings was 4.63% as of September 30, 2024. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee based on the applicable rate, which is variable with a spread based on the Company's debt rating, multiplied by the aggregate commitments of all of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2024, the Company carried investment-grade credit ratings with both Moody's (Baa2) and S&P Global (BBB-).

The Company has a $100 million Accounts Receivable Facility, which matures on November 30, 2026. The Accounts Receivable Facility is subject to certain borrowing base limitations and is secured by certain domestic trade accounts receivable of the Company. The Accounts Receivable Facility had no borrowing base limitations at September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $72 million of outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility, which reduced the availability to $28 million.
Other sources of liquidity include uncommitted short-term lines of credit for certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which currently provide for borrowings of up to $231.5 million. At September 30, 2024, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $25.9 million and bank guarantees of $2.4 million, which reduced the aggregate availability under these facilities to $203.2 million.
On May 23, 2024, the Company issued 2034 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of €600 million with an interest rate of 4.125%, maturing on May 23, 2034. Proceeds from the 2034 Notes were used for the redemption of the 2024 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350 million that were due to mature on September 1, 2024, as well as the repayment of other debt outstanding at the time of the issuance.
On August 16, 2023, the Company entered into a €200 million 2024 Term Loan, maturing on August 16, 2024. Proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan were used to repay borrowings on the Senior Credit Facility and Accounts Receivable Facility, as well as for general corporate purposes. The Company repaid the 2024 Term Loan during the second quarter of 2024.
At September 30, 2024, the Company was in full compliance with all applicable covenants on its outstanding debt.
The Company expects to generate a lower amount of cash from operating activities in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to lower expected net income. The Company expects capital expenditures to remain relatively flat in 2024 compared to 2023 and in line with 2023 spending as a percentage of sales (4.0%).
Financing Obligations and Other Commitments:
During the first nine months of 2024, the Company made cash contributions and payments of $21.7 million to its global defined benefit pension plans and $1.2 million to its other postretirement benefit plans. The Company expects to make contributions to its global defined benefit plans of approximately $25 million in 2024. The Company expects to make payments of approximately $4 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2024. Excluding mark-to-market charges, the Company expects higher pension and other postretirement benefits expense in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to lower expected returns on pension plan assets and higher interest expense.
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or other persons.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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. The Company has concluded that there have been no significant changes to its critical accounting policies or estimates, as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the Company's fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
On September 9, 2024, the Company acquired CGI. The results of the CGI acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The net sales of CGI represented less than 1% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ending September 30, 2024.
The scope of the Company's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting will not include the CGI acquisition noted above. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the Company's scope in the year of acquisition.

The results of these acquisitions are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the first nine months of 2024.

The net sales of these acquisitions in the aggregate represented 5% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2024. The Company is currently integrating these acquisitions into its internal control framework and processes, and as prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, the Company will include Lagersmit, iMECH, Rosa, Des-Case, Nadella and ARB in the internal control over financial reporting assessment as of December 31, 2024.

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. SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about environmental proceedings when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to such regulations, the Company uses the maximum permitted threshold of $1 million or more for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
