• Cash flow from operating activities was $125 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared with $93 million in the prior year period. Net capital expenditures were $25 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The company generated year-to-date free operating cash flow of $100 million compared with $66 million in the same period last year.  
• Adjusted ROIC was 12.9 percent as of March 31, 2011 and was also an all-time company record.

Segment Developments for the Fiscal 2011 Third Quarter

• Industrial segment sales of $392 million grew 28 percent from $306 million in the prior year quarter, driven by organic growth of 29 percent and a 1 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 34 percent and 29 percent, respectively. On a regional basis, sales increased by approximately 32 percent in Asia, 29 percent in Europe and 23 percent in the Americas.
• Industrial segment operating income was $54 million compared with $11 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Absent restructuring and related charges recorded in both periods, Industrial operating income was $56 million compared with $26 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 and the restoration of temporary cost reductions. Industrial adjusted operating margin increased to 14.3 percent from 8.6 percent in the prior year.
• Infrastructure segment sales of $223 million increased 19 percent from $187 million in the prior year quarter due to organic growth.  The organic increase was driven by higher sales in the energy and earthworks markets of 21 percent and 17 percent, respectively. On a regional basis, organic sales increased by approximately 20 percent in the Americas, 15 percent in Asia and 11 percent in Europe.
• Infrastructure segment operating income was $36 million, compared with $19 million in the same quarter of the prior year.  Absent restructuring and related charges recorded in both periods, Infrastructure operating income was $37 million in the current quarter compared with $26 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, partially offset by higher raw material costs and the restoration of temporary cost reductions.  Infrastructure adjusted operating margin increased from the prior year quarter to 16.5 percent from 13.8 percent.

Fiscal 2011 Year-to-Date Key Developments

• Sales were $1.7 billion, compared with $1.3 billion in the same period last year. Sales increased as a result of strong organic growth of 29 percent, partially offset by a 1 percent unfavorable impact from foreign currency effects and an unfavorable impact from fewer business days.
• Operating income was $207 million compared with operating income of $32 million in the same period last year.  Absent restructuring and related charges in both periods, operating income was $222 million, compared with operating income of $68 million in the same period of the prior year.  The corresponding adjusted operating margins were 13.0 percent and 5.0 percent for nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
• Reported EPS were $1.72 compared with reported EPS of $0.07 in the prior year period.  Absent restructuring and divestiture related charges, adjusted EPS for the current year were $1.87, compared with the prior year period adjusted EPS of $0.49.

Outlook

Global economic conditions and worldwide industrial production continues to remain positive.  As such, Kennametal expects its fiscal 2011 organic sales growth to be 24 percent to 25 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 2011 to be in the range of $2.75 to $2.85 per share, excluding charges related to previously announced restructuring programs, increased from the previous range of $2.50 to $2.65 per share, excluding charges related to restructuring.  

Cash flow from operations is expected to be in the range of $255 million to $265 million for fiscal 2011 as compared to the previous range of $260 million to $280 million.  Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $80 million which is unchanged from the previous guidance.  The range of free operating cash flow is expected to be $175 million to $185 million verses the previous guidance of $180 million to $200 million.

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 May 25, 2011 to shareowners of record as of the close of business on May 10, 2011.

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 website at www.kennametal.com.

Certain statements in this release may be forward-looking in nature, or "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. For example, statements about Kennametal's outlook for earnings, sales volumes, and cash flow for fiscal year 2011 and our expectations regarding future growth and financial performance are forward-looking statements.  These statements are based on current estimates that involve inherent risks and uncertainties.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, our actual results could vary materially from our current expectations.  There are a number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.  They include:  prolonged economic recession; restructuring and related actions (including associated costs and anticipated benefits); availability and cost of the raw materials we use to manufacture our products; our foreign operations and international markets, such as currency exchange rates, different regulatory environments, trade barriers, exchange controls, and social and political instability; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate, including environmental, health and safety regulations; our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property; competition; our ability to retain our management and employees; demands on management resources; demand for and market acceptance of our products; integrating acquisitions and achieving the expected savings and synergies; business divestitures; implementation of environmental remediation matters; and successful completion of information systems upgrades, including our enterprise system software. Many of these risks are more fully described in Kennametal's latest annual report on Form 10-K and its other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

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.
