NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for The Timken Company (the "Company" or "Timken") 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 accompanying Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company previously classified intangible asset amortization expense within cost of products sold in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Intangible asset amortization expense is now classified separately. The 2022 presentation has been revised to conform to the 2023 presentation resulting in a reduction in the cost of products sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
New Accounting Guidance Adopted:
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)." ASU 2022-04 is intended to establish disclosures that enhance the transparency of a supplier finance program used by an entity in connection with the purchase of goods and services. Supplier finance programs, which also may be referred to as reverse factoring, payables finance or structured payables arrangements, allow a buyer to offer its suppliers the option for access to payment in advance of an invoice due date, which is paid by a third-party finance provider or intermediary. Under the guidance, a buyer in a supplier finance program would disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. Refer to Note 12 - Supply Chain Financing inthe Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
During the first six months of 2023, the Company completed two acquisitions. On April 4, 2023, the Company acquired Leonardo Top S.a.r.l.

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 judgement related to future net cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, market comparisons and other factors. Inputs were generally determined by taking into account independent appraisals and historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions.
Note 3 - Acquisitions and Divestitures (continued)
The amounts in the table above represent the preliminary purchase price allocation for the 2023 acquisitions. This purchase price allocation, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, is based on preliminary information and 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. As of June 30, 2023, no elements of the purchase price allocation have been finalized. 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 of 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.

The above purchase price allocation, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, is based on preliminary information and is subject to change as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations is obtained. The purchase price allocation for Spinea was finalized during the second quarter of 2023. The purchase price allocation for GGB is preliminary pending the continued evaluation of real estate and other property, plant and equipment assets, as well as the related impacts on deferred income taxes. During the 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 of 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 February 28, 2023, the Company completed the sale of all of its membership interests in S.E. Setco Services Company, LLC ("SE Setco"), a 50% owned joint venture. The Company had accounted for SE Setco as an equity method investment prior to the sale. The Company received $5.7 million in cash proceeds for SE Setco and recognized a pretax gain of $4.8 million on the sale. The gain was reflected in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
On November 1, 2022, the Company completed the divestiture of Timken Aerospace Drive Systems, LLC ("ADS"). The Company recorded proceeds of $33.0 million on the sale of the business. For the first six months of 2023, the Company recorded a loss $1.2 million due to the payment of a working capital adjustment.
The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA").
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company began operating under new reportable segments. The Company’s two reportable segments are Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion. Segment results for 2022 have been revised to conform to the 2023 presentation of segments.

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, type of customer and distinguishing service revenue from product sales is also relevant. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, approximately 8% and 9%, respectively, of total net sales were recognized on an over-time basis because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer, with the remainder recognized as of a point in time. Approximately 4% of total net sales represented service revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. Finally, business with the United States ("U.S.") government or its contractors represented approximately 6% of total net sales during each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
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 $216.0 million at June 30, 2023.

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 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% primarily due to the projected mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with relatively higher tax rates.
The effective tax rate of 26.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the net favorable impact of discrete tax items in comparison to the year ago period, partially offset by an increase in the mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with relatively higher tax rates.
The effective tax rate of 26.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the net favorable impact of discrete tax items in comparison to the year ago period, partially offset by an increase in the mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with relatively higher tax rates.

The dilutive effect of performance-based restricted stock units are included once they meet 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

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 reserve at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $236.1 million and $235.4 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 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 Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, performing its annual impairment test as of October 1st. Furthermore, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
In connection with the adoption of new reportable segments, goodwill was reallocated to new reporting units based on relative fair value at the reporting unit level. The Engineered Bearings segment has one reporting unit and the Industrial Motion segment has six reporting units.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were as follows:

During the first quarter 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 utilizes 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 and 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 quarter of 2023, which was reported in impairment and restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The Company has a $100 million Amended and Restated Asset Securitization Agreement (the "Accounts Receivable Facility"), which matures on November 30, 2024. 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 to certain borrowing base limitations; however, availability under the Accounts Receivable Facility was not reduced by any such borrowing base limitations at June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, there were $85.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $15.0 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 the $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility ("Senior Credit Facility") and a $400.0 million unsecured term loan facility ("2027 Term Loan") that each mature on December 5, 2027. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's previous revolving credit agreement that was set to mature on June 25, 2024, and replaced the $350.0 million term loan that was set to mature on September 11, 2023 ("2023 Term Loan"). The Credit Agreement also replaced interest rates based on LIBOR with interest rates based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). At June 30, 2023, the Company had $133.2 million of outstanding borrowings and $1.8 million of letters of credit under the Senior Credit Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $615.0 million. The Credit Agreement has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio.
On March 28, 2022, the Company issued fixed-rate unsecured senior notes ("2032 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $350 million with an interest rate of 4.125%, maturing on April 1, 2032. Proceeds from the 2032 Notes were used for general corporate purposes, which included the repayment of borrowings under the Company's previous senior credit facility and the Accounts Receivable Facility outstanding at the time of issuance.
At June 30, 2023, 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 insurance contracts. At June 30, 2023, outstanding letters of credit totaled $59.1 million, most with expiration dates within 12 months.
The maturities of long-term debt (including $4.9 million of finance leases) subsequent to June 30, 2023 are as follows:

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 providing for the Company to pay the financial institution per the terms of any supplier invoice paid early under the program and to pay an annual fee for the supplier finance platform subscription and related support. The Company and 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 six months ended June 30, 2023:

The Company is responsible for environmental remediation at various manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company. In addition, the Company, through one of its subsidiaries, has currently been identified as a potentially responsible party for investigation and remediation under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, known as the Superfund, or similar state laws with respect to one site. Claims for investigation and remediation have been asserted against numerous other unrelated entities, which are believed to be financially solvent and are expected to fulfill their proportionate share of the obligation.
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, together with at least 14 unrelated parties, at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site, Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the “Site”). 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, allegedly including, but not limited to, a release or threatened release on or from Lovejoy's property, at the Site. The relief sought by the USEPA and IEPA includes further investigation and potential remediation of the Site and reimbursement of response costs. 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.
The Company had total environmental accruals of $4.7 million and $4.8 million for various known environmental matters that are probable and reasonably estimable at June 30, 2023andDecember 31, 2022, respectively, which includes the Lovejoy matter described above. These accruals were recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of 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.
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 $27.1 million and $23.5 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The balances at the end of each respective period represent the best estimates of costs for future claims for products that are still under warranty. The increase in the liability for the first six months of 2023 primarily relates to additional accruals for certain products sold into the automotive and renewable energy sectors. Accrual estimates are based on actual claims and expected trends that continue to mature. Management believes that any significant change to these assumptions will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position; however, the effect of any such change 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and twelve months ended December 31, 2022:

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are valued at redemption value. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months 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 market interest rates to measure the fair value of its interest rate swap contracts. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts.
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.
No other material assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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 $1,361.3 million and $1,353.5 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $1,421.7 million and $1,417.9 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.
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 September 8, 2020, the Company entered into a $100 million floating-to-fixed rate swap on the 2023 Term Loan, which hedges the change in the 1-month LIBOR rate between October 30, 2020 and September 11, 2023 to a fixed rate. The Company repaid the LIBOR-based 2023 Term Loan on December 5, 2022 and replaced it with the SOFR-based 2027 Term Loan. The Company amended the interest rate for the swap from LIBOR to SOFR commencing January 2023. The Company’s risk management objective is to hedge the risk of changes in the monthly interest expense attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.
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 (the "2027 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 changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. The net impact for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, was a loss of $0.4 million and $1.1 million to accumulated comprehensive (loss) income with a corresponding offset to other income (expense), which partially offsets the impact of the foreign currency adjustment on the 2027 Notes.
The Company entered into $350 million of floating-to-fixed 10-year Treasury rate locks during the first quarter of 2022, prior to issuing the 2032 Notes. This fixed the 10-year Treasury yield and settled at pricing of the 2032 Notes, resulting in $6.5 million of cash proceeds received by the Company. This amount was recorded to accumulated comprehensive income and will be amortized as a reduction in interest expense over the 10-year tenor of the 2032 Notes.
The Company does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $573.1 million and $635.6 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.
Note 20 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (continued)
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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $74.8 million and $82.3 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.
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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $498.3 million and $553.3 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the related location within the Consolidated Statements of Income:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
OVERVIEW
Introduction:
The Timken Company designs and manufactures a growing portfolio of engineered bearings and industrial motion products, and related services. With more than a century of knowledge and innovation, the Company continuously improves the reliability and efficiency of global machinery and equipment to move the world forward. The Company’s growing product and services portfolio features many strong industrial brands, such as Timken®, Philadelphia Gear®, GGB®, Drives®, Cone Drive®, Rollon®, Lovejoy®, Diamond®, BEKA®, Groeneveld® and Nadella®. Timken employs more than 19,000 people globally in 46 countries. The Company operates under two reportable segments: (1) Engineered Bearings and (2) Industrial Motion. The following further describes these business segments:
•Timken’s Engineered Bearings segment features a broad range of product designs serving original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users worldwide. Timken is a leading authority on tapered roller bearings and leverages its position by applying engineering know-how and technology across its entire bearing portfolio, which includes tapered, spherical and cylindrical roller bearings; plain bearings, metal-polymer bearings and rod end bearings; thrust and specialty ball bearings; and housed or mounted bearings.

Timken creates value by understanding customer needs and applying its know-how to serve a broad range of customers in attractive markets and industries across the globe. The Company’s business strengths include its product technology, end-market diversity, geographic reach and aftermarket mix. Timken collaborates with OEMs to improve equipment efficiency with its engineered products and captures subsequent equipment replacement cycles by selling largely through independent channels in the aftermarket. Timken focuses its international efforts and footprint in regions of the world where strong macroeconomic factors such as urbanization, infrastructure development and sustainability create demand for its products and services.
The Company's strategy has three primary elements:
Profitable Growth. The Company intends to expand into new and existing markets by leveraging its collective knowledge of metallurgy, friction management and industrial motion to create value for Timken customers. Using a highly collaborative technical selling approach, the Company places particular emphasis on creating unique solutions for challenging and/or demanding applications. The Company intends to grow in attractive market sectors around the world, emphasizing those spaces that are highly fragmented, demand high service and value the reliability and efficiency offered by Timken products. The Company also targets applications that offer significant aftermarket demand, thereby providing product and services revenue throughout the equipment’s lifetime.
Operational Excellence. Timken operates with a relentless drive for exceptional results and a passion for superior execution. The Company embraces a continuous improvement culture that is charged with increasing efficiency, lowering costs, eliminating waste, encouraging organizational agility and building greater brand equity to fuel growth. This requires the Company’s ongoing commitment to attract, retain and develop the best talent across the world.
Capital Deployment to Drive Shareholder Value. The Company is focused on providing the highest returns for shareholders through its capital allocation framework, which includes: (1) investing in the core business through capital expenditures, research and development and initiatives to drive profitable organic growth; (2) pursuing strategic acquisitions to broaden its portfolio and capabilities across diverse markets, with a focus on bearings, adjacent industrial motion products and related services; (3) returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases; and (4) maintaining a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity. As part of this framework, the Company may also restructure, reposition or divest underperforming product lines or assets.
The following items highlight some of the Company's more significant strategic accomplishments during the six months ended June 30, 2023:
•On April 4, 2023, the Company acquired Nadella, a leading European manufacturer of linear guides, telescopic rails, actuators and systems and other specialized industrial motion solutions. With revenue of €100 million in 2022, Nadella will further Timken's strategy to expand and scale its leading industrial motion product portfolio.
•On June 20, 2023, the Company completed the sale of 7.6 million shares of TIL, a subsidiary of the Company, generating net proceeds of $229 million after estimated income taxes of $55 million and transaction costs. The transaction reduced the Company's ownership in TIL from 67.8 percent to 57.7 percent.
•The Company paid its 403rd and 404th consecutive quarterly dividends, including a dividend of $0.33 per share during the second quarter, an increase of 6% from the prior quarter. The Company also repurchased 1.9 million common shares, or nearly 3% of outstanding common shares.
•On January 31, 2023, the Company acquired the assets of ARB, a North Carolina-based manufacturer of industrial bearings. ARB, which boasts a large U.S. installed base and strong aftermarket business, reported revenue of approximately $35 million in 2022. ARB's product offerings join Timken's industry-leading portfolio of engineered bearings solutions.

The increase in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by the favorable impact of acquisitions (net of divestitures) and organic growth in both the Industrial Motion and Engineered Bearings segments, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the favorable price/mix, lower material and logistics costs and lower impairment and restructuring charges, partially offset by higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs, as well as higher interest expense.
The increase in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by organic growth in both the Engineered Bearings and Industrial Motion segments and the favorable impact of acquisitions (net of divestitures), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the favorable price/mix, the impact of higher volume and lower material and logistics costs, partially offset by higher manufacturing and SG&A costs, as well as higher impairment and restructuring charges and interest expense.
Outlook:
The Company expects 2023 full-year revenue to be up approximately 8% compared to 2022, driven by continued organic growth and the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures). The Company's earnings are expected to be up in 2023 compared with 2022, due to the favorable impact of price/mix and lower material and logistics costs, partially offset by higher manufacturing and SG&A costs, higher impairment and restructuring charges, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and higher interest expense.
The Company expects to generate a higher amount of cash from operating activities in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by higher earnings and improved working capital performance. The Company expects higher capital expenditures in 2023 compared to 2022, but relatively in line with 2022 spending as a percentage of sales (4.0%).
Net sales increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was driven by the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures) of $77 million and organic growth (including pricing) of $52 million, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $11 million. Net sales increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was driven by organic growth (including pricing) of $176 million and the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures) of $122 million, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $41 million.
Operating income increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to favorable impact of higher sales net of cost of products sold, and lower impairment and restructuring charges, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses and increased amortization expense. Operating income increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to favorable impact of higher sales net of cost of products sold, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, higher impairment and restructuring charges and increased amortization expense.
•Cost of products sold increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to the incremental cost of goods sold from acquisitions (net of divestitures) of $55 million and higher manufacturing costs of $39 million, partially offset by lower material and logistics costs of $22 million and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $6 million. Cost of products sold increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to higher manufacturing costs, net of favorable mix impact, of $94 million and the incremental cost of goods sold from acquisitions (net of divestitures) of $89 million, partially offset by lower material and logistics costs of $36 million and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $22 million. The higher manufacturing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflect continued labor and input cost inflation, as well as the impact of reduced inventory build in the 2023 periods compared to the same periods a year ago.
•SG&A expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions and increased spending to support the higher sales and business activity levels. SG&A expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, higher compensation costs and increased spending to support the higher sales and business activity levels.
•Amortization of intangible assets increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the addition of intangible assets from the GGB acquisition, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the Nadella acquisition, which was completed in the second quarter of 2023.
•Impairment and restructuring charges were lower for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to impairment charges recorded in the second quarter of 2022 related to the Company's operations in Russia. As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine (and associated sanctions), the Company suspended its operations in Russia. Refer to Russia Operations below for additional information. Impairment and restructuring charges were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impairment of goodwill, partially offset by the Russia-related charges in 2022 discussed above. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment for its reporting units due to the change in reporting segments that went into effect on January 1, 2023. As a result of this analysis the Company determined that one of the new reporting units within the Industrial Motion segment could not support the carrying value of its goodwill, and subsequently recorded a pretax impairment loss of $28.3 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Non-service pension and other postretirement income (expense) increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company recognized pension remeasurement gains in 2023 compared to pension remeasurement losses in 2022. This favorable impact was partially offset by the impact of a lower expected return on pension plan assets and higher interest expense on pension plan obligations. Refer to Note 16 - Retirement Benefit Plans and Note 17 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans inthe Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other income (expense) increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to gains on divestitures of $4.8 million primarily related to the sale of SE Setco, a 50% owned joint venture.

Income tax expense increased $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to higher pre-tax earnings and an increase in the mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with relatively higher tax rates, partially offset by the net favorable impact of discrete tax items in comparison to the year ago period.
Income tax expense increased $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to higher pre-tax earnings and an increase in the mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with relatively higher tax rates, partially offset by the net favorable impact of discrete tax items in comparison to the year ago period.
Refer to Note 6 - Income Taxes for more information on the computation of the income tax expense in interim periods.
The Company's reportable segments are product-based business groups that serve customers in diverse industrial markets. The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is EBITDA. Refer to Note 4 - Segment Informationin the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the reconciliation of EBITDA by segment to consolidated income before income taxes.
The presentation of segment results below includes a reconciliation of the changes in net sales for each segment reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2023 and 2022 and foreign currency exchange rate changes. The effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes on net sales 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 following item represents the Company's acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2023 and 2022:
•The Company acquired Nadella during the second quarter of 2023. Results for Nadella are reported in the Industrial Motion segment.

The Engineered Bearings segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes, increased $12.9 million or 1.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase reflects higher pricing across the segment and higher sales volume in the renewable energy, rail and heavy industries sectors, partially offset by lower sales volume in the distribution, auto/truck and general industrial sectors. EBITDA increased by $18.0 million or 10.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to favorable price/mix, lower material and logistics costs, the benefit of acquisitions and lower Russia related charges, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs, the impact of lower volume, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

The Industrial Motion segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes, increased $39.8 million or 11.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase reflects higher pricing across the segment and higher sales volume in the drive systems, services and automatic lubrication systems platforms, partially offset by lower sales volume in the belts and chain platform. EBITDA increased $15.8 million or 24.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to favorable price/mix and the impact of higher sales volume, partially offset by higher SG&A costs.
The Industrial Motion segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes, increased $64.6 million or 9.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase reflects higher pricing across the segment and higher sales volume in the drive systems, services, automatic lubrication systems and linear motion platforms, partially offset by lower sales volume in the belts and chain platform. EBITDA increased $1.6 million or 1.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to favorable price/mix, the impact of higher sales volume and lower material and logistics costs, mostly offset by higher impairment and restructuring charges, and higher manufacturing and SG&A costs. The higher impairment and restructuring charges were primarily related to the impairment of goodwill for one of the segment's reporting units.
Unallocated corporate expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to increased spending for professional services and other corporate expenses.

Operating Activities:
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2023 compared with the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for working capital items of $134.0 million and an increase in net income of $27.7 million, partially offset by a reduction in the benefit of income taxes on cash of $43.3 million. Refer to the tables below for additional detail of the impact of each line item on net cash provided by operating activities.

Investing Activities:
The increase in net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2023 compared with the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in cash used for acquisitions of $172.3 million, an increase in net investments in short-term marketable securities of $24.2 million and an increase in capital expenditures of $16.1 million
Financing Activities:
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2023 compared with the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to cash proceeds of $284.8 million on the sale of shares of TIL, a subsidiary of the Company, in the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by a decrease in net borrowings of $247.6 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had strong liquidity with $344.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as well as $630.0 million available under committed credit lines. Of the $344.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $331.8 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 the $750.0 million Senior Credit Facility and the $400.0 million 2027 Term Loan that each mature on December 5, 2027. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's previous revolving credit agreement that was set to mature on June 25, 2024, and replaced the $350.0 million 2023 Term Loan. The Credit Agreement also replaced interest rates based on LIBOR with interest rates based on SOFR. At June 30, 2023, the Company had $133.2 million of outstanding borrowings and $1.8 million of letters of credit under the Senior Credit Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $615.0 million. The Credit Agreement has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.5 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 1.85 to 1.0. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's consolidated interest coverage ratio was 10.47 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 6.27% and the average rate on outstanding Euro borrowings was 4.07% as of June 30, 2023. 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 June 30, 2023, 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, 2024. The Accounts Receivable Facility is subject to certain borrowing base limitations and is secured by certain domestic trade accounts receivable of the Company. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $85 million of outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility and no borrowing base limitations. There was $15 million of availability under the Accounts Receivable Facility as of June 30, 2023.
Other sources of liquidity include uncommitted short-term lines of credit for certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which provide for borrowings of up to $246.1 million. At June 30, 2023, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $49.8 million and bank guarantees of $2.7 million, which reduced the aggregate availability under these facilities to $193.6 million.
On March 28, 2022, the Company issued the 2032 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350 million with an interest rate of 4.125%, maturing on April 1, 2032. Proceeds from the 2032 Notes were used for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and the Accounts Receivable Facility outstanding at the time of issuance.
At June 30, 2023, the Company was in full compliance with all applicable covenants on its outstanding debt.
The Company expects to generate a higher amount of cash from operating activities in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by higher earnings and improved working capital performance. The Company expects higher capital expenditures in 2023 compared to 2022, but relatively in line with 2022 spending as a percentage of sales (4.0%).
Financing Obligations and Other Commitments:
During the first six months of 2023, the Company made cash contributions and payments of $6.3 million to its global defined benefit pension plans and $0.9 million to its other postretirement benefit plans. The Company expects to make contributions to its global defined benefit plans of approximately $25 million in 2023. The Company expects to make payments of approximately $4 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2023. Excluding mark-to-market charges, the Company expects higher pension and other postretirement benefits expense in 2023 compared to 2022 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, 2022, during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
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 reporting period. Related translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, and the related hedging activity, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded negative foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.2 million that decreased shareholders' equity, compared with negative foreign currency translation adjustments of $134.2 million that decreased shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The foreign currency translation adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies, including the Euro.
Foreign currency exchange gains and losses, net of hedging activity, resulting from transactions included in the Company's operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $1.7 million of net gains, compared with $2.3 million of net gains during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses, net of hedging activity, resulting from transactions included in the Company's operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $1.3 million of net losses, compared with $4.6 million of net gains during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Russia Operations:
The Company had two subsidiaries in Russia prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, including Timken Russia, which was 100% owned by Timken and a 51%-owned joint venture to serve the Russian rail market ("Rail JV"). As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine (and associated sanctions), the Company suspended operations and recorded property, plant and equipment impairment charges of $9.0 million and inventory write-downs of $4.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company sold its Timken Russia business resulting in a loss of $2.7 million on the sale. After giving effect to these impairments and write-downs, as well as the sale of Timken Russia, as of June 30, 2023, the Company has net assets (net of noncontrolling interest of $4.4 million), totaling $7.1 million on its Consolidated Balance Sheet related to its Rail JV. Net assets include $6.9 million of cash and cash equivalents that the Company has classified as restricted as the Company is presently unable to repatriate these funds to one of its subsidiaries outside of Russia. The Company will continue to monitor the events in Russia and Ukraine and may record additional asset impairments or other losses in the future.
Quarterly Dividend:
On August 2, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per common share. The quarterly dividend will be paid on August 28, 2023 to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2023. This will be the 405th consecutive quarterly dividend paid on the common shares of the Company.
In addition to results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides information on non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins, segment adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA margins, ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA (for the trailing 12 months), net debt, ratio of net debt to capital and free cash flow. This information is intended to supplement GAAP financial measures and is not intended to replace GAAP financial measures. Net debt and the ratio of net debt to capital is disclosed in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share represent net income attributable to The Timken Company and diluted earnings per share, respectively, adjusted for intangible amortization, impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges, acquisition costs, including transaction costs and the amortization of the inventory step-up, property losses and recoveries, actuarial gains and losses associated with the remeasurement of the Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, gains and losses on the sale of real estate, gains and losses on divestitures, the income tax impact of these adjustments, as well as other discrete income tax items, and other items from time to time that are not part of the Company's core operations. Management believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful to investors as they are representative of the Company's core operations and are used in the management of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for items that are not part of the Company's core operations. These items include intangible amortization, impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges, acquisition costs, including transaction costs and the amortization of the inventory step-up, property losses and recoveries, actuarial gains and losses associated with the remeasurement of the Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, gains and losses on the sale of real estate, gains and losses on divestitures, and other items from time to time that are not part of the Company's core operations. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it is representative of the Company's core operations and is used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.

(1) Impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges (including items recorded in cost of products sold) relate to: (i) plant closures; (ii) the rationalization of certain plants; (iii) severance related to cost reduction initiatives; and (iv) impairment of assets. Impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges for 2023 included $28.3 million related to the impairment of goodwill. The Company re-assesses its operating footprint and cost structure periodically, and makes adjustments as needed that result in restructuring charges. However, management believes these actions are not representative of the Company’s core operations.
(2) Corporate pension and other postretirement benefit related (income) expense represents actuarial (gains) and losses that resulted from the remeasurement of plan assets and obligations as a result of changes in assumptions or experience. The Company recognizes actuarial (gains) and losses in connection with the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or if specific events trigger a remeasurement. Refer to Note 16 - Retirement Benefit Plans and Note 17 - Other Postretirement Benefit Plans for additional discussion.
(3) Russia-related charges include impairments and allowances recorded against certain property, plant and equipment, inventory and trade receivables to reflect the current impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine (and associated sanctions) on the Company's operations. In addition to impairments and allowances recorded, the Company recorded a loss on the divestiture of its Timken Russia business during the fourth quarter of 2022. Refer to Russia Operations on page 42 above for additional information.
(4) Acquisition-related charges represent deal-related expenses associated with completed transactions and any resulting inventory step-up impact.
(5) Represents the net loss (gain) resulting from divestitures and the sale of certain assets.
(6) Provision for income taxes includes the net tax impact on pre-tax adjustments (listed above), the impact of discrete tax items recorded during the respective periods as well as other adjustments to reflect the use of one overall effective tax rate on adjusted pre-tax income in interim periods.
(7) Depreciation and amortization shown excludes depreciation recognized in reorganization charges, if any.
Free Cash Flow:
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is useful to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities available for the execution of its business strategy.
Reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow:
The ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. The Company presents net debt to adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is more representative of the Company's financial position as it is reflective of the Company's ability to cover its net debt obligations with results from its core operations. Net income for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $444.7 million and $417.0 million, respectively. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months was 1.9 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, 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 April 4, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Nadella. The results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the first six months of 2023. The total and net assets of Nadella represented 6% of the Company's total assets and 12% of the Company's net assets as of June 30, 2023. The net sales of Nadella represented 1% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2023.
On January 31, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of ARB. The results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the first six months of 2023.

The net sales of ARB represented less than 1% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2023.
The scope of the Company's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting will not include the ARB and Nadella acquisition's 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.
On November 4, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of GGB. The results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the first six months of 2023.

The net sales of GGB represented 4% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2023.
On May 31, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Spinea. The results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the first six months of 2023. The total and net assets of Spinea represented 3% of the Company's total assets and 5% of the Company's net assets as of June 30, 2023. The net sales of Spinea represented less than 1% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2023.
The Company is currently integrating these acquisitions into its internal control framework and processes, and as prescribed by U.S Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, the Company will include Spinea and GGB in the internal control over financial reporting assessment as of December 31, 2023.
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("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, 2022, 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, 2022. Investors should not interpret the disclosure of any risk factor to imply that the risk has not already materialized.
