Executive Summary

The case ‘The Timken Company’ is about the acquisition of the Torrington from ‘Ingersoll-Rand’ by the
Timken Company. Torrington produces the best quality bearing while the Timken has many wings where
bearing is an important division of their business. Both these companies has 5% of product and 80% of
customers redundancy. After the acquisition Timken will be world’s third largest bearing company.

The main point of this case is how the payment for this acquisition will be made. Expected value of this
acquisition is estimated $800 million. How Timken will pay this large amount is the main question here.
Timken can borrow or can issue stock for this amount. But this large debt will affect Timken’s leverage
ratio, as well as Timken’s investment grading in the market. Another option for Timken is to offer stock
in exchange for the purchase. But still Timken will be needing cash for this acquisition to be complete.

However we have found several circumstances of the financing opportunities for this acquisition which
will affect the value of Timken. we analyzed various risk related to these financing like Interest Rate Risk,
Overall Business Risk, Financial Risk, Degree of Financial Leverage, and Bankruptcy Risk, Du point ratio.
After calculating the NPV of the financing options we have run simulation technique for the potential
investment. We have tried to focus on the best option for the acquisition that will increase the value of
the firm most.

Introduction

Objective of the study

Usually we gather theoretical knowledge from course material. But it is also very much important to
relate that theoretical knowledge with practical situation. The basic objective of conducting this case
analysis is applying our theoretical knowledge in practical situation. The objective behind conducting
this study is as follows:

 To analyze the ‘The Timken Company’ scenario


 To analyze the acquisition of Torrington from Ingersoll Rand
 Analyze the financing of the acquisition
 Finding out the synergy of the acquisition

Scope of the study

The study topic allows us to analyze the cases named “The Timken Company” We have gone through
the case thoroughly, analyzed the problems of this company and tried to find out solutions of these
problems. Finally we have reached recommendations that will help to take the decision. Some external
information has been used for lack of information provided.

Methodology

For preparing our report we went through the text and information collected from case and applied our
sense of finance which we gained from different course especially from corporate finance and capital
budgeting to evaluate and justify our assigned topic. All the data used in this report have been gathered
from the case. Financial techniques taught in our BBA and MBA courses have been used here. Some
reasonable assumptions have been made because of lack of information provided.

 To analyze and solving the problem Free cash flow method.
 Crystal ball software is to complete the simulation analysis

Limitations of the study

The limitations of the study are defined by the extensive of the facts covered by the study and those
that left out. Learning all functions, moods of business, risk factors and protective covenants were quite
tough within specified time framework. There was also time constraint. While attempting to solve the
problem we have to assume some factors. The analysis could have been better if those data were
provided

Case Briefing

The Timken Company is one of the largest bearing companies in the industry. The company was
established in 1898 by Henry Timken. During the long life of the company the company faced many ups
and downs in the life cycle. In 1982 the company suffered its first loss since depression for the increasing
amount of competition. During the year followed the company engaged in joint venture. In 2002 the
company decided to acquire ‘Torrington’ Company from ‘Ingersoll-Rand’. This acquisition would make
The Timken Company world’s third largest bearing company.

Through the acquisition the Timken Company would be able to produce bearing with lower cost,
Timken’s worldwide brand value and world class distribution will produce high quality bearing with
lowest possible cost. Potential annual cost saving from the consolidating manufacturing facilities is
expected to be $80 million.

The main challenge for The Timken Company is how the acquisition will be paid. Timken has two options
for the financing of this acquisition:

1. Issuing debt; but this debt issue will affect the Timken’s leverage ratio enough to virtually
guarantee that Timken would lose its investment grade rating.
Equity issuance; Timken’s last issuance occurred in 1987,for this huge analysis is needed for the
issuance and the no. of share issuance will have to be double since it’s last issuance to raise the
amount needed.

Both this for the cash payment or they can

2. Offer stock along with the cash payment for this acquisition

Torrington

Torrington is best known for its Torrington needle bearings and Torrington thrust bearings. All
Torrington bearings are made using special lubrication and duplex cutting in order to ensure that they
are all the same size, which helps reduce friction and makes the bearing assembly last much longer.
Torrington is somewhat more expensive than some of its competitors, however, none of them compare
in quality and longevity to Torrington

Economic Analysis:

Like a battered champion in a heavyweight boxing match, the U.S. economy rose, staggered, took a knee
then resumed fighting in 2002. The roaring recovery of early January gave way to fear of a ‘doubledip’
recession by midsummer. But by fall it appeared the U.S. economy had weathered a second recession

GDP

GDP growth in the first quarter of 2002 caught everyone by surprise. GDP jumped a staggering 5% in the
first quarter after a respectable 2.7% in 2001:4. Coming out of the 1990 recession the U.S. conomy grew
2.3%, 1.0% and 2.2% in the first three quarters after the recession ended. While large growth rates are
not uncommon after a severe recession such as 1981, 5% growth is unusual coming out of such a
shallow recession as we had in 2001. The massive interest rate cuts enacted by the Federal Reserve
during 2001 were finally showing up in the data in the form of spending.

Stock Market

After the recession of late 2001, the U.S. stock market appeared to recover its legs in early 2002. In early
March, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 10,700 –only 7% lower than its all-time peak.

The massive flight to safety drove up prices on bonds and drove down bond yields. Suddenly, earning 1-
2% on a savings account didn’t look too bad. Savings deposits at banks jumped a staggering 22% from
2001:10-2002:10 as households moved assets out of the equity markets into safe, liquid assets. This
provided the funds in the banking system to finance consumer durables and housing in the second half
of 2002.

Consumption

If historians look back at 2002 and try to explain how the U.S. recovered from the 2001 recession they
will clearly see that it was on the backs of the U.S. consumer. Fueled by low interest rates and the
mortgage-refinancing boom during the summer, consumer spending grew at impressive quarterly rates

7|Page
(annualized) of 4%, 2.2%, 1.22% and 2.95% over the past year. Quarter to quarter, real personal
consumption expenditures increased 4.2 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 1.8
percent in the second quarter. Durable goods boom waned by the end of the year raising concerns that
whatever consumption growth we saw in 2002 could disappear as we move into 2003.

Investment

After six consecutive quarters of negative growth, gross private investment finally showed some life in
the first half of the year but turned negative again in the third quarter. Non-residential investment
contracted during the first half the year. Residential investment grew respectably in the first half but fell
off during the third quarter. Inventories jumped 2.6% and 1.3% in the first half of the year after six
quarters of contraction as businesses rebuilt good stocks in the belief that the recession was over.

Government expending & Taxes

Standard economic wisdom suggests that the federal government should increase spending during a
recession to dampen the decline in output. From 2001:3-2002:3, the U.S. government clearly did its part
(due also in no small part to the war on terrorism). Real federal government spending increased from
$568.9 billion in 2001:3 to $613.1 billion in 2002:3 – a 7.7% increase for the period. However, almost
80% of that ($35 billion) went to national defense. Whether or not defense spending aimed at fighting
terrorism stimulates the U.S. economy is an open question. Transfer payments increased 9.8% during
the same period as more people relied on welfare and unemployment compensation to get them
through tough economic times.

Inflation & Unemployment

Inflation remained well under control in 2002. The Consumer Price Index increased a mere 1.5% from
2001:9-2002:9. The GDP deflator, a broader measure of inflation increased a mere 1% over 2002. As a
result, low inflation gives the monetary and fiscal authorities substantial room to pursue expansionary
policies if need be. The unemployment rate increased through the first half of 2002 hitting 6% for the
first time since 1994. However, by the fall of 2002, the unemployment rate began dropping and was at
5.7% by October 2002. The median duration of unemployment also climbed in the first half of the year

8|Page
to 11.7 weeks before falling to 9.6 in October. This is nearly double the 6 weeks duration observed in the
last year of the nineties expansion

Ratio Analysis

Computation of Financial Ratios

1. Evaluating Internal Liquidity:

Internal liquidity (solvency) ratios are intended to indicate the ability of the firm to meet future short-
term financial obligations.

a. Current Ratio: Clearly the best known liquidity measure is the current ratio, which examines the
relationship between current assets and current liabilities. In our analysis we have found current
ratio of The Timken Company is 1.53 and of Ingersoll-Rand is 1.08 for the year 2002.This means
that Timken does have liquid funds to cover their immediate needs more than Ingersoll-Rand
b. Quick Ratio: the quick ratio relates current liabilities to only relatively liquid current assets (cash
items and account receivable). In 2002 Timken quick ratio was 0.7 and Ingersoll-rands was .46
c. NWC Ratio: This ratio measures company’s net working capital available to run its day to day
activities. In 2002 Timken had NWC ratio 0.53 and Ingersoll-rand .08
d. Cash Ratio: The most conservative liquidity ratio is the cash ratio, which relates the firm’s cash
and short-term marketable securities to its current liabilities. In 2002 Timken’s cash ratio was
0.13 and Ingersoll-rand’s was 0.09 which indicates lower liquidity solvency

The total asset turnover ratio of both Timken & Ingersoll-Rand indicates the effectiveness of the firm’s
use of its total asset base (net assets equal gross assets minus depreciation on fixed assets). The equity
turnover ratio reflects the firm’s utilization of equity. In 2002 Ingersoll-Rand’s efficiency ratio was good
which indicates, firms operating performance was efficient but Timken was not good in this particular
ratio.

5. Du Pont Ratio:

The Du Pont identity breaks down Return on. This analysis enables the analyst to understand the source
of superior (or inferior) return by comparison with companies in similar industries (or between
industries).The Du Pont identity is less useful for industries such as investment banking, in which the
underlying elements are not meaningful. Variations of the Du Pont identity have been developed for
industries where the elements are weakly meaningful.

6. ALTMAN Z Score Analysis:

The Z-score formula for predicting bankruptcy can be used to predict the probability that a firm will go
into bankruptcy within two years. Z-scores are used to predict corporate defaults and an easy-to-
calculate control measure for the financial distress status of companies in academic studies. The Z-score
uses multiple corporate income and balance sheet values to measure the financial health of a company.

As Zoot is a private equity firm so we have used Z score estimation for private firms. Here

Financing Options:

a) Raising $800 million for the cash deal by issuing shares to the public
b) Raising $800 million for the cash deal with a debt offering
c) Raising $800 million with a combination of debt and equity financing(50:50 ratio)

By using these three alternatives Timken could raise its needed amount of cash for the
acquisition. In each of the cases, Timken’s capital structure will be altered. The optimal capital
structure will ensure Timken with highest amount of Net Acquisition Value (NAV) and highest
equity value per share.

Here, Timken will raise $800 million by issuing shares to the public. So they will issue 42.11 new shares
at current market price which is 19 to raise $800 for the cash deal. As a result, Timken’s numbers of
outstanding shares will become 105.51 (64.2+42.11).

By adding the values of Timken and Torrington we can get combined value of Timken after aquiring
Torrington.

Here we get enterprise value as 2102.48 million and after adding goodwill and net synergy
value we get 6086.95. Here goodwill is determined by deducting the market value of land and
property of Torrington from purchase price (800-172.15=627.85).Then we have added cash
value of 128.13 which is the combined cash value of Timken and Torrington. The long term debt
of 631.49 million is then deducted to find out the equity value of the firm which is 5583.59. And
the number of shares are given here as 105.51 million and we got equity value per share as
52.92 dollar which is quite higher than Timken’s equity value per share without acquisition.

issue shares worth of 400 million with a debt offering of 400 million. So their total debt will increase by
400 million and will become 1031.49 million. Equity will also increase by 400 million and will become

Alternative 2: Acquisition of Torrington Company from Ingersoll-Rand by stock offering to Ingersoll-


Rand:

Timken could acquire Torrington by offering its stocks to Ingersoll. For this purpose Timken could issue
$400 million equity and $300 million debt and could make the payment of $700 million in cash. As well
as it can offer its stocks worth $100 million. In our case study analysis the new shares that Torrington
would get have been calculated through exchange ratio.

Exchange ratio:

41 | P a g e
New shares of target firm = α × Old shares of acquiring firm
(1-α)

Exchange ratio = New shares of target firm

Old shares of target firm

Here α has been calculated by dividing the purchase price $800 million of Torrington by the after
acquisition equity value of the firm with stock and cash offering of $5770.58 million. New shares
exchanged for existing shares of Timken Company to Ingersoll would be $1.11805204. Total shares
outstanding would be the addition of new shares with the old shares by 63.4+1.11= 64.52 shares.
Exchange ratio comes from the new shares 1.11 divided by the existing shares of Torrington of 29.17.
Here Torrington’s shares have been calculated assuming the accordance with the sales percentage of
13.45% of Ingersoll Company. Thus 29.17 shares have been calculated by the percentage of Torrington’s
sales of Ingersoll company out of Ingersoll’s share outstanding shares of 216.85.

Here additional $300 million debt has been added with existing $631.49 million debt. As well as new
equity has been added by $400 million shares with existing equity of Timken of $609.1 million. As $100
million worth shares would be given to Ingersoll equivalent amount would be deducted from the total
value of equity.

43 | P a g e
Here we get enterprise value as $2777.21 million and after adding goodwill and net synergy value we
get $3356.619. Here goodwill is determined by deducting the market value of land and property of
Torrington from purchase price ($800-$172.15=$627.85).Then we have added cash value of $128.13
which is the combined cash value of Timken and Torrington. The long term debt of $931.49 million is
then deducted to find out the equity value of the firm which is $5770.58. And the number of shares are
given here as 63.4 million plus the new shares found from equity issuing worth of ($400/19=21.05)
million and we got equity value per share as $69.6596 which is quite highest than Timken’s equity value
per share without acquisition and cash financing options. In this option, Timken will be able to borrow
the money at “lower-yield” rates which will enable Timken to keep its existing investment grade rating
and that is good for the company.

Recommendation

44 | P a g e
At the last of our analysis we would like to recommend that Timken should acquire Torrington
form Ingersoll-Rand.

Positives:

 It will increase market share within Global Industry from 7% to 11%

 5 % overlap in product offerings and 80% consumer overlap
 Expected annual cost savings of $80 million annually by 2007

Financing method:

 Optimal capital structure is the combination of debt and equity. Timken should acquire
Torrington by a cash deal of $700 million and the additional $100 million worth of shares
will be issued directly to Ingersoll-Rand as consideration for Torrington with an exchange
ratio of .038:1 where 1.12 shares will be issued as new shares.
 Equity value per share will be $89.44 and Net Acquisition value will be $3755 million which
is the highest among all other alternatives.
 Cash deal of $700 million will be financed by raising equity of $400 million and a debt deal
of $300 million
