Timken Earnings Down 63% Timken Co., a maker of bearings and alloy steel, said on Wednesday that its fourth quarter earnings fell 63 percent, hurt by weakness in the North American automotive industry. In the three months completed Dec. 31, Timken earned $35.4 million, or 37 cents per share, on sales of $1.23 billion. Excluding special items, the company earned 30 cents per share, matching the expectations of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial.

The company received a $77 million government subsidy in that quarter designed to bolster U.S. companies against unfair foreign trade. Excluding special items, Timken made $50.6 million, or 54 cents per share, in the year ago quarter. For 2006, Timken earned $222.5 million, or $2.36 per share, on sales of $4.97 billion.
