Achieves all-time adjusted quarter/year records:

•

EPS $1.11 / $2.98

•

Operating margin 17.5 percent / 14.3 percent

•

ROIC 14.8 percent

Organic sales growth 24 percent for the quarter and 28 percent for the year

Restructuring programs successfully completed

Fiscal year 2012 EPS expected to be in the range of $3.50 to $3.80

LATROBE, Pa., (July 28, 2011) – Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) today reported fiscal 2011 fourth quarter earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $1.04 compared with prior year quarter reported EPS of $0.49. Absent restructuring and related charges, adjusted EPS for the current quarter was $1.11 compared with the prior year quarter adjusted EPS of $0.61.

Kennametal Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Cardoso said, “June quarter results demonstrate that we are capitalizing on top-line growth to achieve higher levels of profitability. Organic sales grew 24 percent, reflecting strong growth in spite of tough comparables for the same period in the prior year. Kennametal achieved record operating margin, earnings, and return on invested capital. Notably, we achieved these record metrics at a sales level significantly lower than the prior peak. These impressive results clearly show the dedication of our global team who have successfully implemented key strategic initiatives.”

Cardoso added, “We remain committed to executing our strategies. We will keep driving our ongoing transformation to be an even more customer-focused enterprise and continue to deliver premier performance.”

Reconciliations of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the attached tables, and the corresponding descriptions are contained in our report on Form 8-K to which this release is attached.

Fiscal 2011 Fourth Quarter Key Developments

•

Sales were $694 million, an increase of $155 million or 29 percent, compared with $539 million in the same quarter last year. Sales increased as a result of strong organic growth of 24 percent, despite tougher comparisons to last year, and a 6 percent favorable foreign currency impact, partially offset by the impact of fewer business days. Sales grew in both business segments and across all regions.

•

Pre-tax restructuring and related charges of $7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, were recorded in the quarter. The company realized pre-tax benefits from restructuring programs of approximately $40 million.

•

Operating income was $115 million compared with $61 million in the same quarter last year. Absent restructuring and related charges in both periods, operating income was $121 million, compared with $74 million in the prior year quarter. The adjusted operating margin of 17.5 percent was an all-time record for the company. The margin performance was driven by higher sales volume and price realization, as well as improved capacity utilization. These benefits were partially offset by higher raw material and employment costs.

•

The effective tax rate was 20.8 percent compared to 28.0 percent for the June quarter last year. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily driven by the strength of our pan-European operations and non-recurring prior year tax charges.

•

Reported EPS were $1.04 compared with prior year quarter reported EPS of $0.49. Adjusted EPS were $1.11 compared with prior year quarter adjusted EPS of $0.61. A reconciliation follows:


Earnings Per Diluted Share Reconciliation

*Fourth Quarter FY 2011*			*Fourth Quarter FY 2010*

Reported EPS	$	1.04	Reported EPS	$	0.49
Restructuring and related charges		0.07	Restructuring and related charges		0.12

Adjusted EPS	$	1.11	Adjusted EPS	$	0.61

•

Adjusted ROIC was 14.8 percent as of June 30, 2011 and was an all-time company record.

Segment Developments for the Fiscal 2011 Fourth Quarter

•

Industrial segment sales of $437 million grew 31 percent from $335 million in the prior year quarter, driven by organic growth of 25 percent and a 7 percent favorable foreign currency impact, partially offset by an unfavorable impact due to fewer business days. On an organic basis, sales increased in all served market sectors led by strong growth in general engineering and transportation sales of 33 percent and 19 percent, respectively. Sales to the aerospace and defense market sector grew 8 percent compared to the prior year quarter. On a regional basis, sales increased by approximately 32 percent in Asia, 24 percent in Europe and 20 percent in the Americas.

•

Industrial segment operating income was $77 million compared with $32 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Industrial adjusted operating margin was 18.7 percent for the quarter. Absent restructuring and related charges recorded in both periods, Industrial operating income was $82 million compared with $43 million in the prior year quarter. The primary drivers of the increase in operating income were higher sales volume and price realization, improved capacity utilization and incremental restructuring benefits. These benefits were partially offset by higher raw material costs.

•

Infrastructure segment sales of $257 million increased 26 percent from $204 million in the prior year quarter due to organic growth of 22 percent and a 4 percent favorable foreign currency impact. The organic increase was driven by higher sales in the earthworks and energy markets of 24 percent and 20 percent, respectively. On a regional basis, organic sales increased by approximately 29 percent in Asia, 23 percent in the Americas and 13 percent in Europe.

•

Infrastructure segment operating income was $38 million, compared with $31 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Infrastructure adjusted operating margin was 15.6 percent for the quarter. Absent restructuring and related charges recorded in both periods, Infrastructure operating income was $40 million in the current quarter compared with $34 million in the prior year quarter. Operating income improved primarily due to higher sales volume and price realization, increased capacity utilization and incremental restructuring benefits, offset by higher raw material costs.

Fiscal Year 2011 Key Developments

•

Sales were $2.4 billion, compared with $1.9 billion last year. Sales increased $519 million as a result of strong organic growth of 28 percent.

•

Pre-tax restructuring and related charges of $21 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, were recorded in the fiscal year. These restructuring programs have been successfully completed and yielded higher than anticipated annual benefits of approximately $170 million, with total program costs of approximately $150 million being less than anticipated.

•

Operating income was $322 million compared with operating income of $93 million in the same period last year. Absent restructuring and related charges in both periods, operating income was $343 million, compared with operating income of $142 million in the same period of the prior year. The corresponding adjusted operating margins were 14.3 percent and 7.5 percent for years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The current year adjusted operating income was an all-time record for the company.

•

Reported EPS were $2.76 compared with reported EPS of $0.57 in the prior year. Absent restructuring and divestiture related charges, adjusted EPS for the current year were $2.98, compared with the prior year adjusted EPS of $1.10. The adjusted EPS of $2.98 was an all-time record for the company.

•

Cash flow from operating activities was $231 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared with $165 million in the prior year. Net capital expenditures were $74 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. The company generated year-to-date free operating cash flow of $157 million compared with $113 million last year.

Outlook

Our outlook for fiscal 2012 assumes that the global economy and worldwide industrial production will continue to reflect moderate expansion, and that overall economic trends remain in positive territory. As a result, Kennametal expects to achieve positive growth in all geographies.

The following are some additional assumptions encompassed in our outlook:

Global industrial production is anticipated to be in the mid-single digits for the full fiscal year.

Sales volumes and related capacity utilization are expected to yield strong incremental margins.

Earnings are expected to be consistent with historical seasonal patterns with approximately 40 percent of earnings occurring in the first half and 60 percent in the second half of the fiscal year.

Under these assumed conditions, we expect organic sales growth to be 10 percent to 12 percent compared with fiscal 2011 and total sales growth to be 9 percent to 11 percent. This is in line with our goal of growing at least two times the rate of increase in global industrial production.

The company expects EPS for fiscal 2012 to be in the range of $3.50 to $3.80. The mid-point of this range represents a 22 percent increase from fiscal 2011 adjusted EPS of $2.98. In addition, fiscal year 2012 guidance reflects the company’s expectation of achieving its milestone target – 15 percent earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin and 15 percent return on invested capital – one year earlier than previously anticipated.

Cash flow from operating activities is expected to be in the range of approximately $360 million to $380 million for fiscal 2012. Based on anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $100 million, the company expects to generate between $260 million to $280 million of free operating cash flow for the full fiscal year.

Dividend Declared

Kennametal also announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share. The dividend is payable August 24, 2011 to shareowners of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2011.

Kennametal advises shareowners to note monthly order trends, for which the company generally makes a disclosure ten business days after the conclusion of each month. This information is available on the Investor Relations section of Kennametal’s corporate website at www.kennametal.com.

In addition to reported results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the following financial highlight tables include, where appropriate, a reconciliation of adjusted results including gross profit, operating expense, operating income, Industrial operating income and margin, Infrastructure operating income and margin, net income and diluted earnings per share, free operating cash flow and return on invested capital (which are non-GAAP financial measures), to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. For those adjustments that are presented ‘net of tax’, the tax effect of the adjustment can be derived by calculating the difference between the pre-tax and the post-tax adjustments presented. The tax effect on adjustments is calculated by preparing an overall tax calculation including the adjustments and then a tax calculation excluding the adjustments. The difference between these calculations results in the tax impact of the adjustments.

Management believes that investors should have available the same information that management uses to assess operating performance, determine compensation and assess the capital structure of the company. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the attached tables and descriptions of certain non-GAAP financial measures are contained in our report on Form 8-K to which this release is attached.
