The increase was driven by the benefit of acquisitions (net of divestitures), higher pricing and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by lower volume.Timken posted net income in the third quarter of $87.9 million or $1.23 per diluted share.

And in October, Timken announced an agreement to acquire iMECH and the divestiture of TWB. Overall, the net impact of these four transactions will add nearly $50 million of pro forma annual revenue and will be accretive to company margins."Timken posted solid results in the quarter despite challenging business conditions across several sectors and geographies," said Richard G. Kyle, Timken president and chief executive officer. "We executed well across the enterprise, as we expanded adjusted EBITDA margins in both segments and generated strong free cash flow. We also continued to deploy capital to strengthen our business and create sustained shareholder value, while maintaining a strong balance sheet."Third-Quarter 2023 Segment ResultsEngineered Bearings sales of $775.6 million decreased 0.5 percent from the same period a year ago.

The company is now planning for 2023 revenue to be up 5 to 5.5 percent in total from 2022."We have updated our outlook to reflect softer end-market demand conditions and our expectation for continued channel inventory reductions in the fourth quarter," said Kyle. "We are taking steps to bring costs in line with the expected volume levels and deliver a solid finish to the year. We remain on track for 2023 to mark all-time record sales and earnings with another year of improved margins. And we remain committed to advancing our long-term strategy to scale Timken as a diversified industrial leader and consistently grow the revenue and earnings of the company."
