Kennametal Inc. today reported that sales for its fiscal 2008 third quarter increased 12 percent from the prior year quarter, including organic sales growth of 4 percent. This is the company's 17th consecutive quarter of year- over-year organic sales growth.

Reported fiscal 2008 third quarter diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.30 compared to the prior year quarter EPS of $0.66, a decrease of 55 percent. The current quarter reported EPS included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $0.45 per share related to the company's surface finishing machines and services business. Absent this charge, adjusted EPS of $0.75 were at the high-end of the company's guidance and increased 14 percent compared with prior year quarter reported EPS. The company achieved March quarter records for sales, adjusted EPS and adjusted return on invested capital (ROIC) of 12.3 percent.

"Our global growth strategies and initiatives continued to deliver results as we grew sales in both of our business segments at a solid pace in the March quarter. The team achieved this growth despite reduced industrial activity in North America and in some market sectors," commented Kennametal Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Carlos M. Cardoso. "Our sales gains, along with a robust improvement in the operating margin of our metalworking business, made a strong contribution to Kennametal's overall operating performance."

"Our advanced materials business, however, was challenged during the quarter by continued slower conditions in certain markets, higher raw materials costs, plus lower performance and an impairment charge in our surface finishing machines and services business. We are proactively addressing these challenges," said Mr. Cardoso.

"At the same time, we are continuing to execute the growth strategies that are serving us so well. Additionally, we are taking advantage of the slower growth environment to accelerate implementation of further restructuring actions to reduce costs and enhance efficiency in our operations. These measures will further position us for margin expansion and earnings growth."

Reconciliations of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the attached tables.

  Highlights of Fiscal 2008 Third Quarter

  -- Sales for the quarter were $690 million, compared with $616 million in
     the same quarter last year. Sales grew 12 percent year-over-year and
     included 4 percent organic growth, 4 percent from acquisitions and 6
     percent from foreign currency effects.  The current quarter had fewer
     workdays than the prior year quarter which reduced the overall sales
     growth by 2 percent.

  -- During the March quarter, the company performed an impairment test of
     the goodwill and other intangible assets associated with its surface
     finishing machines and services business.  This test resulted in a
     non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $35 million, or $0.45 per share.

  -- Income from continuing operations was $23 million, compared with $52
     million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the goodwill impairment
     charge, income from continuing operations increased 12 percent to $58
     million from $52 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was
     driven by organic sales growth, favorable foreign currency effects, the
     impact of acquisitions and a lower effective tax rate.

  -- The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 41.0 percent
     compared to 26.1 percent in the prior year quarter. Adjusted for the
     impact of the goodwill impairment charge for which there was no tax
     benefit, the current quarter effective tax rate was 22.0 percent.  The
     adjusted rate for the current quarter was lower than the rate for the
     prior year quarter due to increased earnings under the company's
     pan-European business strategy and a tax benefit associated with a
     dividend reinvestment plan in China.

  -- Reported EPS were $0.30, compared with prior year quarter reported EPS
     of $0.66.  Adjusted EPS of $0.75 increased 14 percent compared with
     prior year quarter reported EPS of $0.66.  A reconciliation follows:

  Adjusted EPS                    $0.75                               $0.66


  -- Adjusted ROIC was 12.3 percent, up 130 basis points from 11.0 percent
     in the prior year quarter.


  Highlights of First Nine Months of Fiscal 2008

  -- Sales of $2.0 billion increased 13 percent from $1.7 billion in the
     same period last year. Sales grew 3 percent on an organic basis, 5
     percent from acquisitions and 5 percent from foreign currency effects.

  -- Income from continuing operations was $108 million, compared with $115
     million in the prior year period, a decrease of 6 percent. Adjusted
     income from continuing operations was $150 million, an increase of 29
     percent compared with $116 million in the prior year period.

  -- The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was
     30.6 percent, which included the unfavorable impact of a $7 million
     non-cash charge for income taxes related to a German tax reform bill
     enacted in July 2007 and the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $35
     million for which there was no tax benefit. Absent the impact of these
     charges, the effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal
     2008 was 21.7 percent, compared with 28.9 percent in the prior year
     period. The lower adjusted rate versus the rate for the prior year
     period was driven by a continued increase in earnings under the
     company's pan-European business strategy, the combined effects of other
     international operations and tax benefits from the dividend
     reinvestment plan in China.

  -- Reported EPS decreased 3 percent to $1.38, compared with prior year
     reported EPS of $1.43. Adjusted EPS increased 28 percent to $1.91,
     compared with prior year period adjusted EPS of $1.49. A reconciliation
     follows:

  -- Cash flow from operating activities was $159 million for the first nine
     months of fiscal 2008, compared with $113 million in the prior year
     period. Adjusted free operating cash flow for the current period was
     $35 million compared to $134 million in the prior year period.  The
     year-over-year change in adjusted free operating cash flow was
     primarily driven by a $63 million increase in capital expenditures for
     enhanced manufacturing capabilities and geographic expansion as well as
     changes in working capital.


  Business Segment Highlights of Fiscal 2008 Third Quarter

Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) delivered further top-line growth in the March quarter driven by organic sales gains as well as favorable foreign currency effects and the impact of acquisitions. Areas of strength included the aerospace, machine tools and distribution sectors, while weakness continued in the automotive and energy markets. The European, Asia Pacific and Latin American markets remained strong. The North American and Indian markets declined compared with the prior year quarter.

In the March quarter, MSSG sales grew by 11 percent as a result of 2 percent organic growth, 8 percent favorable foreign currency effects and 3 percent from acquisitions, less 2 percent from fewer workdays. Europe and Asia Pacific organic sales increased 8 percent and 16 percent, respectively. Latin America organic sales increased 15 percent. North America organic sales declined 7 percent and India was lower by 2 percent.

MSSG operating income increased by 25 percent and the operating margin increased 150 basis points from the same quarter last year. The current quarter results benefited from organic growth, continued cost containment, favorable foreign currency effects and the impact of acquisitions. In addition, the prior year quarter included a non-cash impairment charge of $6 million related to the company's Widia brand.

Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG) sales increased 15 percent during the March quarter, driven by 6 percent organic growth, 5 percent from favorable foreign currency effects and 6 percent from acquisitions, less 2 percent from fewer workdays. Organic sales increased on stronger construction and mining sales which more than offset lower energy, energy-related and engineered product sales.

AMSG reported an operating loss for the March quarter due to the $35 million goodwill impairment charge related to the surface finishing machines and services business. Absent this charge, AMSG operating income was down 10 percent and the operating margin was 300 basis points lower than the prior year quarter due to higher raw material costs, sales mix and lower performance in the surface finishing machines and services business.

Restructuring Actions

To further Kennametal's ability to achieve its long-term goals for margin expansion and earnings growth, the company intends to implement restructuring actions over the next twelve to eighteen months to reduce costs and otherwise improve efficiency in its operations. These initiatives are expected to include the rationalization of certain manufacturing and service facilities as well as other employment and cost reduction programs. The company expects to recognize charges related to these initiatives in the range of $40 million to $50 million over the next twelve to eighteen months. Approximately 90 percent of these charges are expected to be cash expenditures. Annual ongoing benefits from these actions, once fully implemented, are expected to be in the range of $20 million to $25 million.

Outlook

Global market indicators support Kennametal's expectation for continued top-line growth during the remainder of fiscal 2008. The company believes that the North American economy will be challenging in the near term. The company also believes that the European market will remain favorable, and that business conditions will continue to be strong in developing economies. While there are some inherent and changing uncertainties and risks within the current macro-economic environment, it appears that fundamental drivers will continue to provide a platform for ongoing growth in global demand.

For the fourth quarter of 2008, Kennametal expects total sales growth of 13 to 14 percent, including organic sales growth of 2 to 3 percent. This would result in total sales growth of approximately 13 percent and organic sales growth of approximately 3 percent for fiscal 2008.

The company expects fourth quarter 2008 EPS to be in the range of $0.81 to $0.84, absent any charges that may result from restructuring actions. The company narrowed its range for adjusted EPS guidance for fiscal 2008 to a range of $2.72 to $2.75 (from $2.71 to $2.77). This guidance represents 19 percent to 21 percent growth, compared with fiscal 2007 adjusted EPS of $2.28.

Kennametal anticipates cash flow from operating activities of approximately $250 million to $260 million for fiscal 2008. Based on anticipated capital expenditures of $150 million to $155 million, the company expects to generate between $100 million and $105 million of free operating cash flow for fiscal 2008.

Dividend Declared

Kennametal announced today that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share. The dividend is payable May 20, 2008 to shareowners of record as of the close of business on May 5, 2008.

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 operating expense, AMSG operating income (loss), operating income, effective tax rate, income from continuing operations, net income and diluted earnings per share (which are GAAP financial measures), as well as adjusted free operating cash flow and adjusted return on invested capital (which are non-GAAP financial measures), to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. 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.
