Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On October 25, 2006, Kennametal Inc. (the Company) issued a press release announcing financial results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2006.
The press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including gross profit, operating expense, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income and diluted earnings per share, in each case excluding special items. The special items include: (a) Loss on divestiture of consumer related products, including industrial saw blades (CPG) and transaction-related charges and (b) adjustment on J&L Industrial Supply divestiture and transaction-related charges for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Management excludes these items in measuring and compensating internal performance to more easily compare the Company’s financial performance period-to-period. The press release also contains adjusted free operating cash flow, adjusted sales and adjusted return on invested capital, which are also non-GAAP measures and are defined below.
Management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about the results of operations of the Company for the current, past and future periods. 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. Non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Adjusted Free Operating Cash Flow
Free operating cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as cash provided by operations (in accordance with GAAP) less capital expenditures plus proceeds from disposals of fixed assets. Management considers free operating cash flow to be an important indicator of Kennametal’s cash generating capability because it better represents cash generated from operations that can be used for strategic initiatives (such as acquisitions), dividends, debt repayment and other investing and financing activities. Management has further adjusted free operating cash flow for the following significant unusual cash items: income taxes paid (refunded). Management considers adjusted free operating cash flow to be an important indicator of Kennametal’s cash generating capability because it excludes significant unusual items.
Adjusted Sales
Kennametal adjusts current period sales as reported under GAAP for specific items including foreign currency translation and adjusts current and prior period sales for the effects of acquisitions and divestitures. Management believes that adjusting sales as reported under GAAP yields a more consistent comparison of year-over-year results and provides additional insight into the underlying operations. Management uses this information in reviewing operating performance and in the determination of compensation.
Adjusted Return on Invested Capital
Adjusted Return on Invested Capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as the previous 12 months’ net income, adjusted for interest expense, securitization fees, minority interest expense and special items, divided by the sum of the previous 12 months’ average balances of debt, securitized accounts receivable, minority interest and shareowners’ equity. Management believes that this financial measure provides additional insight into the underlying capital structuring and performance of the Company. Management utilizes this non-GAAP measure in determining compensation and assessing the operations of the Company.
A copy of the Company’s earnings announcement is furnished under Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto. Reconciliations of the above non-GAAP financial measures are included in the earnings announcement.

 


Table of Contents

Additionally, during our quarterly teleconference we may use various non-GAAP financial measures to describe the underlying operating results. Accordingly, we have compiled below certain reconciliations as required by Regulation G.
Adjusted EBIT
EBIT is an acronym for Earnings Before Interest and Taxes and is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. However, we believe that EBIT is widely used as a measure of operating performance and we believe EBIT to be an important indicator of the Company’s operational strength and performance. Nevertheless, the measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Kennametal will adjust EBIT for minority interest expense, interest income, securitization fees and special items. Management uses this information in reviewing operating performance and in the determination of compensation.
Primary Working Capital
Primary working capital is a non-GAAP presentation and is defined as accounts receivable, net plus inventories, net minus accounts payable. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is working capital, which is defined as current assets less current liabilities. We believe primary working capital better represents Kennametal’s performance in managing certain assets and liabilities controllable at the business unit level and is used as such for internal performance measurement.

      - Repurchase program for 3.3 million shares and 11 percent dividend increase approved
 
      - Increased full-year guidance range to $4.30 — $4.50 EPS
LATROBE, Pa., October 25, 2006 — Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) today reported record first quarter fiscal 2007 EPS of $0.78, including charges from special items of $0.04 per share. This represents an increase of 8 percent over prior year. First quarter adjusted EPS were $0.82 compared with prior year quarter EPS of $0.72, an increase of 14 percent.
Kennametal’s President and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Cardoso said, “The momentum we gained in fiscal 2006 is continuing in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. We saw improvements that collectively resulted in the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year earnings growth, coupled with strong cash flow from operations – an excellent performance by any measure.
We attribute this success to our ability to focus steadily on the execution of our strategy through adherence to the disciplined processes that comprise the Kennametal Value Business System. This strategy calls for us to leverage the continued strength of our core businesses, as well as to diversify our business mix, geographic presence and customer base. We believe that our proven strategic approach will deliver exceptional value to customers and shareowners as Kennametal transforms into an even more balanced enterprise with a solid foundation for future growth.”
Reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the attached tables.

 


 

Highlights of Fiscal 2007 First Quarter
  First quarter sales of $543 million were in line with the same quarter last year. Sales grew 6 percent on an organic basis offset by the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures, primarily the divestiture of J&L Industrial Supply (J&L). J&L outside sales were $65 million in the September quarter last year.
 
  Income from continuing operations was $29 million for the first quarter, compared with $28 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 5 percent despite the J&L divestiture. J&L contributed $7 million in operating income in the September quarter last year. Income from continuing operations, excluding special items, was $31 million for the first quarter, an increase of 9 percent over the prior year quarter. The September 2007 quarter results benefited from lower securitization fees and higher interest income, as well as lower minority interest expense, reflecting the effective use of cash and consistent with the company’s previously communicated strategies.
 
  Income from discontinued operations reflects divested results of the Metalworking Solutions & Services Group’s consumer-related products business, including industrial saw blades (CPG) and the Advanced Materials Solutions Group’s Kemmer Praezision electronics business (Electronics).
 
  First quarter reported EPS were $0.78, including charges from special items of $0.04 per share, compared with prior year quarter reported EPS of $0.72, an increase of 8 percent. The September quarter also reflects a lower effective tax rate primarily due to the company’s pan-European business model strategy implemented last year. First quarter adjusted EPS were $0.82. A reconciliation follows:

  Adjusted return on invested capital (ROIC) was up 160 basis points to 11.5 percent from 9.9 percent in the prior year.

  Cash flow from operations for the current quarter was an outflow of $19 million, compared with an inflow of $21 million in the prior year. Income tax payments were $86 million for the current quarter, primarily due to tax payments related to the gain on the sale of J&L and cash repatriated last quarter under the American Jobs Creation Act, compared with a refund of $1 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted free operating cash flow for the September quarter, excluding the effects of income tax payments and refunds, was $45 million versus $6 million in the prior year quarter.
Business Segment Highlights of Fiscal 2007 First Quarter
Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) continued to deliver top-line growth led by year-over-year expansion in the aerospace, distribution and energy markets. The North American market remained stable; Europe has begun to show a modest recovery and Asia Pacific and India delivered strong double-digit growth.
In the September quarter, MSSG sales were up 3 percent on an organic basis. North American sales increased 1 percent. Asia Pacific and India sales grew 12 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Europe sales increased 2 percent.
MSSG operating income was unchanged at $46 million and the operating margin of 13 percent was lower than the same period last year, primarily due to higher realized raw material costs in the current quarter, partially offset by ongoing cost containment and price realization, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific.
Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG) delivered significant top-line growth in the September quarter, driven by favorable market conditions and the effect of acquisitions. Strong growth in the energy and mining markets continued to contribute to AMSG’s results.
AMSG sales grew 11 percent on an organic basis. Energy product sales were up 35 percent, mining and construction product sales were higher by 8 percent and engineered product sales increased 2 percent.
AMSG operating income grew 15 percent over last year, while operating margin of 15 percent was lower than prior year due primarily to higher realized raw material costs in the current quarter and a less favorable business mix.

Outlook
Worldwide market conditions support Kennametal’s expectations of continued top-line growth during the balance of fiscal year 2007. Based on global economic indicators, the company believes that the North American market will remain solid. The company also believes that the market will improve and grow modestly in Europe, and that it will continue to be strong in developing economies. While there remain some uncertainties and risks related to the macro-economic environment, fundamental drivers for global demand appear to be stable.
“Virtually every move we have made at Kennametal has been oriented toward implementing our strategy and advancing our transformation,” said Carlos Cardoso. “As we strive to achieve our fiscal 2007 goals, we will continue to maintain our commitment to our proven strategy, driving organic growth and leveraging a favorable global industry environment to maximize the growth opportunities ahead.”
Kennametal expects organic revenue growth in the 7 to 10 percent range for fiscal 2007, which would extend its track record of consistently outpacing worldwide industrial production rates by two to three times. The company anticipates the majority of its end markets will continue to operate at favorable levels throughout the year, with moderating growth rates for some sectors.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2007, ongoing expansion around the globe supports the company’s projection of 6 to 9 percent organic sales growth, on top of strong performance in the prior year quarter.
The company has increased reported EPS guidance for the year to a range of $4.30 to $4.50, due to benefits associated with its pan-European business model strategy, which will drive a better than originally forecasted tax rate for fiscal year 2007. This range represents an increase in spite of some dilution from recent divestitures of non-core businesses. This revised earnings outlook reflects management’s confidence in the ability to maintain the strength of Kennametal’s performance. This forecasted range includes costs related to ongoing operating expense initiatives that will result in increased long-term profitability. On a comparable basis, the fiscal 2007 guidance midpoint represents a 29 percent growth rate, a substantial increase over prior year adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $3.41.
The company expects second quarter 2007 EPS to be $0.70 to $0.75. As previously announced, second quarter 2007 guidance includes approximately $0.10 per share of costs related to manufacturing streamlining initiated during this quarter, which is expected to have a payback within this fiscal year.
Kennametal expects to achieve its goal of 12 percent EBIT margin, and ROIC is on track for the projected 11 to 12 percent range for fiscal year 2007.

Kennametal anticipates reported cash flow from operations of approximately $190 million to $200 million for fiscal 2007. Included in this amount are income tax payments of $86 million, as mentioned above. Adjusted cash from operations is expected to be approximately $275 million to $285 million.
Based on anticipated capital expenditures of $90 million, the company expects to generate between $185 million to $195 million of adjusted free operating cash flow for fiscal 2007.
Share Repurchase Program and Dividend Increase
Kennametal announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a repurchase program of up to 3.3 million shares of its outstanding common stock. The purchases would be made from time to time, on the open market or in private transactions, with consideration given to the market price of the stock, the nature of other investment opportunities, cash flows from operations and general economic conditions.
Kennametal also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share, which represents an increase of 11 percent, or $0.02 per share. The dividend is payable November 20, 2006 to shareowners of record as of the close of business on November 8, 2006.
Kennametal advises shareowners to note monthly order trends, for which the company 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 web site at www.kennametal.com.
First quarter results for fiscal 2007 will be discussed in a live Internet broadcast at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time today. This event will be broadcast live on the company’s website, www.kennametal.com. Once on the homepage, click “Corporate,” and then “Investor Relations.” Also, the replay of this event will be available on the company’s website through November 8, 2006.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Continued)
In addition to reported results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the following financial highlight tables also include, where appropriate, a reconciliation of gross profit, operating expense, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income and diluted earnings per share, in each case excluding special items, adjusted free operating cash flow, adjusted segment sales, and adjusted return on invested capital (which are non-GAAP financial measures), to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that the investor 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.
