That is the trend. The next exhibit is the level.

Normalized SG&A · % of revenue · 10 US-GAAP tools and industrial peers

What "normalized" means. Reported SG&A less the disclosed advertising and R&D where filed inside the SG&A line. These filers book restructuring outside SG&A; stock-based compensation is benchmarked in Exhibit 3 but not subtracted, since filers do not disclose its placement. What remains is the residual overhead line, on the same footing for all 10 peers. Every adjustment traceable to the 10-K. Each bar is one peer.

Timken SG&A versus peers, in text

Timken (TKR) reports revenue of $4,582 million. On a normalized basis its SG&A runs 16.3% of revenue, against a median of 19.0% across 9 tools and industrial peers; 8 of the 9 run heavier. Reported SG&A less the disclosed lines that distort comparison: advertising, R&D, pension, stock-based compensation, restructuring and one-time items, plus logistics reclassed where filers park it in SG&A.

Disclosed lines held outside the normalized figure: Stock-based comp 0.6% of revenue (10 of 10 companies disclose it); Restructuring 0.5% of revenue (10 of 10 companies disclose it).

Over 10 years (FY2016 to FY2025), Timken's total shareholder return was +154% against +157% for the peer composite; SG&A contributed +109.2 points of that return.
