Gold prices steady ahead of Fed decision; weekly weakness noted
NORTH CANTON, Ohio -On Wednesday, The Timken Company (NYSE:TKR) reported first-quarter earnings that missed analyst expectations and lowered its full-year outlook.
The company’s shares were down -3.22% in premarket trading following the release.
Timken posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.40 for Q1 2025, falling short of the $1.46 consensus estimate. Revenue came in at $1.14 billion, slightly above the $1.13 billion analysts were expecting but down 4.2% YoY.
The company cited lower end-market demand in both its Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion segments as key factors behind the revenue decline. Unfavorable foreign currency translation also negatively impacted results.
"Timken posted solid first-quarter results in a time of heightened uncertainty," said Richard G. Kyle, president and chief executive officer. "Our team executed well in the quarter, delivering on cost actions and other initiatives to help offset the impact of continued soft demand."
Looking ahead, Timken reduced its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $5.10 to $5.60, down from its previous outlook and below the $5.43 consensus. The company now expects 2025 revenue to be between -2.5% to 0% compared to 2024.
Management cited an estimated $25 million net direct impact from tariffs currently in place as a key factor behind the lowered outlook. However, Timken reaffirmed its target to generate approximately $75 million in cost savings for the full year.
Timken will host a conference call later today to discuss the results in more detail.
