NEWS RELEASE

TimkenSteel Corporation Increased
Fourth-Quarter Sales By 24 Percent Over Prior Year;
Declared Third Consecutive Quarterly Dividend

Reported earnings per share of $0.37, a 15.6 percent increase over adjusted(1) prior-year quarter.
Achieved full-year 2014 sales growth of 21.2 percent over 2013, driven by demand in the energy and industrial market sectors.
Repurchased approximately 833,000 shares of its common stock.
Declared quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share.

CANTON, Ohio: Jan. 29, 2015 — TimkenSteel (NYSE: TMST, timkensteel.com), a leader in customized alloy steel products and services, today reported fourth-quarter net income of $17.0 million on net sales of $408.3 million. Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.37 are 15.6 percent higher than adjusted EPS(1) of $0.32 for the fourth quarter of 2013.
For the full year, net sales grew 21.2 percent over 2013. Adjusted EBIT(1) for the full year was $148.6 million, an improvement of 50.8 percent over 2013, driven by improved volume and mix. Adjusted EPS(1) of $2.11 increased 52.9 percent over adjusted EPS(1) of $1.38 for the full year of 2013. Increased shipments in the industrial and energy market sectors coupled with favorable mix and price more than offset the impact of raw material spread and LIFO expenses.
The company also took several actions to return capital to shareholders. During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased approximately 833,000 common shares at an aggregate cost of $30.6 million. The action, which accounted for 1.8 percent of the outstanding shares of the company’s common stock as of the beginning of the fourth quarter, is part of a share repurchase program authorized by the TimkenSteel board of directors in 2014 for up to 3 million shares by Dec. 31, 2016. The board, today, also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share, payable on Feb. 27, 2015, to shareholders of record as of Feb. 13, 2015.

“We performed well both operationally and financially in an exciting year for the company,” said Ward J. “Tim” Timken, Jr., chairman, CEO and president. “We drove financial performance, despite declining scrap prices that dampened our results, by fully leveraging our technical and operational advantages to serve a diverse portfolio of customers in the automotive, industrial and energy end markets. At the same time, we smoothly executed the spinoff, launched production on the jumbo bloom vertical caster and announced our first strategic growth project as an independent company, an additional quench-and-temper heat-treat facility.     
“In 2015, we’ll continue to serve a broad range of industries, and while the price of oil will impact our energy business this year, we’ve proven our ability to execute on our unique business model in both up and down markets.”

FOURTH-QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Fourth-quarter net sales increased $78.3 million or 23.7 percent year-over-year.
Ship tons were approximately 270,000, an increase of 25.7 percent over the fourth quarter of 2013.
Surcharge revenue increased 28.7 percent from the prior-year quarter.
Increased volumes in the automotive, energy and industrial market sectors were the primary drivers for growth.
EBIT was $24.2 million, a 6.1 percent increase compared to adjusted EBIT(1) for the same period a year ago.
Fourth-quarter EBIT was favorable, primarily due to increased shipments in the industrial and energy market sectors partially offset by the impact of raw material spread, LIFO expenses and one-time separation-related expenses of $2 million.
Melt utilization of 74 percent for the quarter is higher compared with 51 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013.

BUSINESS SEGMENT FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTS

Industrial and Mobile Segment
Net sales of $234.7 million, including surcharges of $52.7 million, increased 14.9 percent over fourth-quarter 2013, driven primarily by demand in the industrial market sector.
Fourth-quarter EBIT margin of 5.4 percent is 60 basis points (bps) lower than the prior-year fourth-quarter adjusted margin(1) of 6.0 percent, primarily due to the impact of raw material spread and one-time separation-related expenses of about $1.0 million.

Energy and Distribution Segment
Net sales of $173.6 million, including surcharges of $40.9 million, represent a 38.0 percent increase over the fourth quarter of the prior year, driven primarily by continued growth in demand in the energy end markets and strength in the distribution channel.
Fourth-quarter EBIT margin of 8.6 percent is 90 bps higher than prior-year fourth-quarter adjusted margin(1) of 7.7 percent, driven by higher demand across both energy and distribution end markets partially offset by the impact of raw material spread and one-time separation-related expenses of about $1.0 million.

OUTLOOK

Full-Year 2015:
Segment Highlights:
Industrial and Mobile
Automotive demand expected to remain strong.
Growth expected in industrial end markets, but at a much slower rate than 2014.
Shipments expected to follow normal seasonality; with highest shipments in second quarter.
Energy and Distribution
Anticipate weaker oil and gas markets due to lower oil prices and associated decreases in energy exploration and production spend.
Expect shipments to be the highest in the first quarter with declines sequentially thereafter.

(1) Please see discussion of non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release.



NEWS RELEASE / Page 4

Anticipate lower melt utilization in 2015, due to decreasing demand in energy markets and working capital management tactics to reduce inventory balances.
Expect raw material spread to negatively impact margin.
Will increase pension expense by $13 million, primarily due to changes in the actuarial mortality table.
Expect 2015 capital spending to be between $90 million and $100 million.
Plan to repurchase at least 2 million shares in 2015.

First-Quarter 2015:
Shipments in the first quarter of 2015 are projected to be flat over fourth-quarter 2014, with a shift in mix toward higher automotive sales.

The company will host a conference call at 9 a.m. EST on Friday, Jan. 30, 2015, to discuss its financial performance with investors and analysts. The financial results and fourth-quarter 2014 earnings supporting information are available on our website at investors.timkensteel.com.

(1)NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TimkenSteel reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and corresponding metrics as non-GAAP financial measures. EBIT is defined as operating income plus other income (expense), net. EBIT is an important financial measure used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Management believes that reporting EBIT is useful to investors as this measure is representative of the company's performance and cash generation. It also is a useful reflection of the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of the business and provides improved comparability of results.
For the period prior to the spinoff (the spinoff was effective June 30, 2014), the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of TimkenSteel’s former parent company, The Timken Company. TimkenSteel’s consolidated financial statements include certain expenses of its former parent that were allocated to the steel business for certain functions, including general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, compliance, shared services, insurance, employee benefits and incentives and stock-based compensation. TimkenSteel considers the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses TimkenSteel would have incurred as an independent public company or of the costs it will incur in the future.
Adjusted EPS is defined as net income reduced for stand-alone costs reflected at a normal run rate divided by the weighted average shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock-based awards. Adjusted EBIT is defined as EBIT reduced for stand-alone costs reflected at a normal run-rate. Adjusted EBIT margin is defined as adjusted EBIT as a percentage of net sales. Management believes that reporting adjusted EPS, adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin is useful to investors as these measures are representative of the company's performance and cash generation. They also better reflect the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of the business and provide an indication of the company’s performance as an independent public company.

See the attached schedules for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above to the most comparable GAAP financial measures for the three and 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2014 and 2013. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, TimkenSteel's results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP measures TimkenSteel uses may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and other companies may not define the non-GAAP measures TimkenSteel uses in the same way.

Except as required by the federal securities laws, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
