- Reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.77; adjusted EPS of $0.85
- Record December quarter sales, and adjusted EPS & ROIC
LATROBE, Pa., Jan 24, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) today reported second quarter fiscal 2007 EPS of $0.77, including a charge of $0.08 per share related to discontinued operations. This represents a decrease of 3 percent from the prior year. Second quarter adjusted EPS were $0.85 compared with prior year EPS of $0.79, an increase of 8 percent.
For the first six months of fiscal 2007, reported EPS increased 1 percent to $1.54, including charges from special items of $0.13 per share. Adjusted EPS for the first half of fiscal 2007 were $1.67 compared with prior year EPS of $1.52, representing an increase of 10 percent.
Kennametal's President and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Cardoso said, "I'm pleased to report that we delivered on our commitment for sales growth and exceeded our expectations for EPS and return on invested capital (ROIC). This performance represents a record December quarter for sales, and for adjusted EPS and ROIC. With these collective results, we extended our track record of consecutive quarterly growth. Our solid financial performance demonstrates that we have strong operating leverage and effective cost-control measures which should continue to enhance our earnings performance going forward."
Cardoso added, "We attribute our results to our focused strategy, which we implement by applying the disciplined processes of our management operating system, the Kennametal Value Business System. We continue to make progress on the transformation of Kennametal by driving steady performance in our core Metalworking and Advanced Materials businesses, and growing each segment to achieve a balanced portfolio. At the same time, we continue to successfully diversify our company's global footprint and customer base. We are well positioned to achieve our long-term goals."
"Our strong cash flow generation also plays an important role in our transformation," Cardoso said, "as it allows us to invest in multiple ways in our company's future. We have the financial flexibility to make strategic acquisitions in our core businesses and to take advantage of opportunities to increase our ownership of affiliates in key markets which presently have minority interests."
Reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the attached tables.
Highlights of Fiscal 2007 Second Quarter
-- Sales for the quarter were $569 million compared with $563 million in
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 sales were $65
million in the December quarter last year.
-- Income from continuing operations was $34 million compared with $31
million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 9 percent despite
the J&L divestiture. J&L contributed $6 million in operating income
in the December quarter last year. The current year quarter results
also included plant closure costs of $2.6 million ($0.07 per share),
which did not provide a tax benefit. Additionally, the December
quarter results benefited from lower securitization fees.
-- The December quarter reflects a $0.04 per share tax benefit related to
the extension of the research, development and experimental tax
credit. The company also continues to realize benefits from its
pan-European business strategy.
-- During the current quarter, the company completed the divestiture of
Advanced Materials Solutions Group's Kemmer Praezision electronics
business (Electronics). Discontinued operations includes an
impairment charge of $3.0 million related to a building that was owned
by Electronics and not included in the transaction. This completes
the divestiture of Electronics.
-- Reported EPS were $0.77, including a charge of $0.08 per share related
to discontinued operations, compared with prior year quarter reported
EPS of $0.79. Adjusted EPS were $0.85. A reconciliation follows:
Earnings Per Diluted Share Reconciliation
Second Quarter FY 2007 Second Quarter FY 2006
Reported EPS $ 0.77 Reported EPS $ 0.79
Electronics impairment and
divestiture-related charges 0.08 No special items
Adjusted EPS $ 0.85 $ 0.79
-- Adjusted return on invested capital (ROIC) was up 110 basis points to
11.1 percent from 10.0 percent in the prior year.
Highlights of Fiscal 2007 First Half
-- Sales of $1.1 billion were level with the same period 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, which
had sales of $130 million in the prior year period.
-- Income from continuing operations was $63 million, compared with $59
million in the prior year period, an increase of 7 percent despite the
J&L divestiture and costs of $2.6 million ($0.07 per share) associated
with a plant closure. J&L contributed $13 million in operating income
in the prior year period. Income from continuing operations,
excluding special items, was $64 million, an increase of 9 percent
over the prior year period.
-- The first half of fiscal 2007 also reflects a lower effective tax rate
compared with the prior year, primarily due to the $0.04 per share tax
benefit related to the extension of the research, development and
experimental tax credit. The company also continues to realize
benefits from its pan-European business strategy.
-- Reported EPS were $1.54, including charges from special items of $0.13
per share, compared with prior year reported EPS of $1.52. Adjusted
EPS were $1.67. A reconciliation follows:
Earnings Per Diluted Share Reconciliation
First Half FY 2007 First Half FY 2006
Reported EPS $ 1.54 Reported EPS $ 1.52
Loss on divestiture of CPG and No special items
transaction-related charges 0.01
Adjustment on J&L divestiture
and transaction-related charges 0.03
Electronics impairment and
divestiture-related charges 0.09
Adjusted EPS $ 1.67 $ 1.52
-- Cash flow from operating activities was $36 million for the first half
of fiscal 2007, compared with $76 million in the prior year period.
Included in fiscal 2007 first half cash flow from operations were
income tax payments of $86 million, primarily due to tax payments
related to the gain on the sale of J&L and cash repatriated in 2006
under the American Jobs Creation Act. Adjusted free operating cash
flow, excluding the effects of these income tax payments, was $78
million versus $45 million in the prior year period.
Business Segment Highlights of Fiscal 2007 Second Quarter
Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) continued to deliver top- line growth this quarter led by year-over-year expansion in the distribution, aerospace and general engineering markets. The North American market continued to moderate, while conditions in the European market continued to improve, and Asia Pacific and India delivered solid growth.
In the December quarter, MSSG sales were up 5 percent on an adjusted basis. European sales increased 11 percent, while North American sales increased 1 percent. Asia Pacific and India sales grew 6 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
MSSG operating income was up 6 percent and the operating margin of 12 percent was lower than the same period last year, primarily due to costs associated with a plant closure in the current quarter and higher realized raw material costs, partially offset by ongoing cost containment.
Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG) continued to deliver top-line growth in the December 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 10 percent on an adjusted basis. Energy product sales, including Conforma Clad 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 17 percent was lower than prior year due primarily to higher realized raw material costs in the current quarter, partially offset by the effects of acquisitions and new product introductions.
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 moderation in the North American market will persist in the near term. The company also believes that the European market will continue on a positive trend, and that business conditions 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.
Kennametal expects organic revenue growth in the 6 to 7 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 many of its end markets will continue to operate at favorable levels throughout the fiscal year, with moderating growth rates for some regions and market sectors.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2007, ongoing expansion around the globe supports the company's projection of 6 to 8 percent organic sales growth, on top of strong performance in the prior year quarter.
The company's guidance for adjusted EPS for the full fiscal year is in the range of $4.40 to $4.50. On a comparable basis, the fiscal 2007 guidance midpoint represents a 31 percent growth rate, a substantial increase over prior year adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $3.41.
The company expects third quarter 2007 EPS to be $1.25 to $1.30. Third quarter 2007 guidance includes approximately $0.03 per share of costs related to the completion of the plant closure initiated in the December 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 flow 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.
Dividend Declared
Kennametal announced today that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share. The dividend is payable February 21, 2007, to shareowners of record as of the close of business on February 6, 2007.
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.

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.
