Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On January 23, 2008, Kennametal Inc. (Kennametal or the Company) issued an earnings announcement for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2007.
The press release contains certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. The following GAAP financial measures have been presented excluding special items: gross profit, operating expense, operating income, effective tax rate, income from continuing operations, net income and diluted earnings per share. These special items include: (1) impact of a German tax reform bill for the six months ended December 31, 2007, (2) Kemmer Praezision Electronics business (Electronics) impairment and divestiture-related charges for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and (3)(a) Electronics impairment and divestiture-related charges and (b) adjustment on J&L Industrial Supply (J&L) divestiture and transaction-related charges for the six months ended December 31, 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 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 period and past 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 (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) 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 may further adjust free operating cash flow for significant unusual cash items. 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 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 structure and performance of the Company. Management utilizes this non-GAAP measure in determining compensation and assessing the operations of the Company. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is return on invested capital calculated utilizing GAAP net income.
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.
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. 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 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, pre-tax income from discontinued operations and special items. Management uses this information in reviewing operating performance and in determining compensation.
Primary Working Capital
Primary working capital is a non-GAAP financial measure 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 it is used as such for internal performance measurement.

  FOR RELEASE: Immediate
KENNAMETAL REPORTS EARNINGS OF $0.64 PER SHARE FOR SECOND
QUARTER FISCAL 2008, UP 68 PERCENT FROM PRIOR YEAR
- Sales of $647 million, up 14% year-over-year
- Earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.64
- Sales, EPS and adjusted ROIC were December quarter records
LATROBE, Pa., January 23, 2008 — Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) today reported fiscal 2008 second quarter EPS of $0.64, an increase of 68 percent from the prior year quarter reported EPS of $0.38. EPS increased 52 percent compared with prior year quarter adjusted EPS of $0.42. All EPS amounts presented in this announcement reflect the impact of a 2-for-1 stock split completed by the company in December 2007.
For the first six months of fiscal 2008, reported EPS was $1.08, an increase of 40 percent from the prior year reported EPS of $0.77. The current year reported EPS included a non-cash special charge of $0.08 per share for the impact of a German tax reform bill enacted in July 2007. Adjusted EPS of $1.16 for the first half of fiscal 2008 were up 40 percent from the prior year adjusted EPS of $0.83.
Carlos Cardoso, Kennametal’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We continued to make further progress during the December quarter in terms of EPS and ROIC, despite lower than expected organic sales growth. Sluggish conditions in North America along with lower demand in certain market sectors provided a particular challenge in the quarter. However, we grew our sales in several geographic regions and end markets, reflecting the strength and diversity of our global business. We will remain focused on driving ongoing sales growth, while moving forward with programs and initiatives to generate margin expansion and earnings growth in line with our long-term goals.”

 


 

Reconciliations of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the attached tables.
Highlights of Fiscal 2008 Second Quarter
  Sales for the quarter were $647 million, compared with $569 million in the same quarter last year. Sales grew 14 percent year-over-year and included 2 percent growth on an organic basis, 6 percent from acquisitions and 6 percent from foreign currency effects.
  Income from continuing operations was $50 million, compared with $34 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 49 percent. This increase was driven by organic sales growth, controlled operating expenses, favorable foreign currency effects, the impact of acquisitions and a lower effective tax rate.
  The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 17.3 percent compared to 30.5 percent in the prior year quarter. The current quarter rate benefited from a continued increase in earnings under the company’s pan-European business strategy, the combined effects of other international operations and a tax benefit associated with a dividend reinvestment plan in China. The above were partially offset by a benefit recorded in the prior year quarter from the extension of the research, development and experimental tax credit.
  Reported EPS increased 68 percent to $0.64, compared with prior year quarter reported EPS of $0.38, and increased 52 percent compared with prior year quarter adjusted EPS of $0.42. A reconciliation follows:

Highlights of Fiscal 2008 First Half
  Sales of $1.3 billion increased 14 percent from $1.1 billion in the same period last year. Sales grew 3 percent on an organic basis, 6 percent from acquisitions and 5 percent from foreign currency effects.
  Income from continuing operations was $85 million, compared with $63 million in the prior year period, an increase of 35 percent. Income from continuing operations, excluding special items was $92 million, an increase of 43 percent compared with $64 million in the prior year period.
  The effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2008 was 27.1 percent, which included the unfavorable impact of a $6.6 million non-cash special charge for income taxes related to a German tax reform bill enacted in July 2007. Excluding this special charge, the effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2008 was 21.6 percent, compared with 31.1 percent in the prior year period. The lower effective tax rate versus last year was driven by a continued increase in earnings under the company’s pan-European business strategy and tax benefits from the dividend reinvestment plan in China.
  Reported EPS increased 40 percent to $1.08, compared with prior year reported EPS of $0.77. Adjusted EPS increased 40 percent to $1.16, compared with prior year period adjusted EPS of $0.83. A reconciliation follows:

  Cash flow from operating activities was $69 million for the first half of fiscal 2008, compared with $36 million in the prior year period. Adjusted free operating cash outflow was $4 million versus adjusted free operating cash inflow of $78 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year change in adjusted free operating cash flow was primarily driven by a $35 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 Second Quarter
Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) delivered further top-line growth in the December quarter driven by organic sales gains as well as favorable foreign currency effects and the impact of acquisitions. Areas of strength included the general engineering, machine tools and distribution sectors, while weakness continued in the automotive market. The Asia Pacific, Indian, Latin American and European markets remained strong. The North American market declined slightly compared with the prior year quarter.
In the December quarter, MSSG sales were higher by 16 percent as a result of 4 percent organic growth, 7 percent favorable foreign currency effects and 5 percent from acquisitions. India and Asia Pacific organic sales increased 15 percent and 11 percent, respectively. Latin America organic sales increased 9 percent and Europe organic sales increased 6 percent. North America organic sales declined 2 percent.
MSSG operating income increased by 37 percent and the operating margin increased 220 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 costs associated with a plant closure.
Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG) sales also increased during the December quarter, driven by the effects of acquisitions and favorable foreign currency effects. Organic sales were lower due to softness in certain markets.
AMSG sales increased by 9 percent over the December quarter last year. Of the year-over-year increase in sales, 7 percent came from acquisitions and 5 percent from favorable foreign currency effects. Organic sales declined by 3 percent on lower sales of energy products and surface finishing machines and services, offset partially by higher construction, mining and engineered product sales.
AMSG operating income was down 20 percent and the operating margin was lower than the prior year quarter due primarily to sales mix and higher raw material costs.

Outlook
Worldwide market conditions support Kennametal’s expectation for continued but somewhat lower top-line growth during the remainder of fiscal 2008. The company believes that the softness in the North American market will persist. The company also expects ongoing variability in the demand level among certain individual market sectors. 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.
Kennametal expects total sales growth in the range of 11 to 12 percent for fiscal 2008, including organic sales growth of 3 to 4 percent. This growth rate is slightly lower than previously expected in view of the outlook for more moderate expansion in global demand.
The company has revised adjusted EPS guidance for fiscal 2008 to a range of $2.71 to $2.77 (from $2.80 to $2.85) due to the expectations for more moderate organic sales growth as well as the outlook for sales mix, raw material costs and a lower overall effective tax rate. This guidance represents 19 percent to 21 percent growth, compared with fiscal 2007 adjusted EPS of $2.28. In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, Kennametal expects total sales growth to be in the range of 12 to 13 percent, including organic sales growth of 2 to 3 percent, and EPS to be in the range of $0.72 to $0.75.
Kennametal anticipates cash flow from operating activities of approximately $250 million to $270 million for fiscal 2008. Based on anticipated capital expenditures of $145 million to $155 million, the company expects to generate between $105 million to $115 million of free operating cash flow for fiscal 2008.

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, effective tax rate, income from continuing operations, net income and diluted earnings per share (which are GAAP financial measures), in each case excluding special items, 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 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.
