Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On October 23, 2008, Kennametal Inc. (Kennametal or the Company) issued an earnings announcement for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2008.
The press release contains certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. The following GAAP financial measures have been presented on an adjusted basis: gross profit, operating expense, operating income, Metalworking Sales and Services Group (MSSG) operating income and margin, Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG) operating income and margin, effective tax rate, net income and diluted earnings per share. Adjustments include: (1) restructuring and related charges for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and (2) impact of a German tax law change for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Management adjusts for these items in measuring and compensating internal performance and to more easily compare the Company’s financial performance period-to-period. The press release also contains 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. 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.
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.
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 five quarters’ average balances of debt, minority interest and shareowners’ equity. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is return on invested capital calculated utilizing GAAP net income. 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.
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 earnings 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. 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.
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 operating performance or cash generation 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.
Debt to Capital
Debt to capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by Kennametal as total debt divided by total shareowners’ equity plus minority interest plus total debt. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is debt to equity, which is defined as total debt divided by shareowners’ equity. Management believes that debt to capital provides additional insight into the underlying capital structuring and performance of the Company.

FISCAL 2009 RESULTS
    Records set for sales, adjusted EPS and adjusted ROIC for the September quarter
 
    Organic sales growth of 3 percent
 
    Reported EPS of $0.47; adjusted EPS of $0.57
LATROBE, Pa., (October 23, 2008) — Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) today reported record sales, adjusted EPS and adjusted ROIC for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008.

The current quarter reported EPS included charges of $0.10 per share related to the company’s previously announced restructuring actions. Prior year quarter reported EPS included a non-cash charge of $0.08 per share for the impact of a German tax law change. Absent these charges, adjusted EPS for the current quarter of $0.57 increased 10 percent compared with prior year quarter adjusted EPS of $0.52. Adjusted ROIC was 12.3 percent, up 70 basis points from the prior year quarter.

“Our September quarter performance again demonstrates the effectiveness of our strategies to further balance Kennametal across geographies and end markets,” said Chairman, President and CEO Carlos Cardoso. “Our improved geographic balance—with 54% of our revenues coming from outside North America—helped us set new records for sales, adjusted EPS and adjusted ROIC. We also considerably improved and gained momentum with price realization. Furthermore, our strong balance sheet allows us to weather economic downturns while continuing to invest in our business,” Cardoso added.
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.
Highlights of Fiscal 2009 First Quarter
  Sales for the quarter were $669 million, compared with $615 million in the same quarter last year. Sales grew 9 percent and included 3 percent organic growth, 5 percent from favorable foreign currency effects and 2 percent from more workdays partially offset by the impact of divestitures of 1 percent.
 
  As previously announced, the company continued to implement certain restructuring actions to reduce costs and improve efficiencies in its operations. During the September quarter, the company recognized pre-tax charges related to these initiatives of $9 million, or $0.10 per share. Pre-tax charges recorded to date for these initiatives were $17 million. Including these charges, the company expects to recognize a total of $40 million to $50 million of pre-tax charges related to the restructuring actions. The remaining charges are expected to be incurred over the next six to twelve 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.
 
  The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 19.0 percent compared with 37.7 percent in the prior year quarter. The prior year was unfavorably impacted by a charge related to a German tax law change. Absent that charge, the prior year rate was 26.3 percent. The reduction from the prior year rate was due to the release of a deferred tax benefit valuation allowance and increased benefits from the company’s pan-European business strategy.
 
  Net income was $35 million for both the current and prior year quarters. Absent the charges related to restructuring actions and the German tax law change, net income for the current quarter increased 3 percent to $43 million from $41 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was driven primarily by organic sales growth, including higher price realization, and a lower effective tax rate.

 


 

  During the quarter, the company repurchased 4.0 million of its shares completing the share repurchase program that was announced in October 2006.
 
  Reported EPS were $0.47, compared with prior year quarter reported EPS of $0.44. Adjusted EPS of $0.57 increased 10 percent, compared with prior year quarter adjusted EPS of $0.52. A reconciliation follows:

  Adjusted ROIC was 12.3 percent, up 70 basis points from 11.6 percent in the prior year quarter.
 
  Cash flow from operating activities was $38 million in the current quarter, compared with $57 million in the prior year quarter. Free operating cash flow for the current quarter was an outflow of $5 million compared with an inflow of $16 million in the prior year quarter. The change in free operating cash flow was primarily driven by a reduction in accounts payable and changes in other assets and liabilities.
Business Segment Highlights of Fiscal 2009 First Quarter
Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) sales increased by 6 percent during the September quarter, driven primarily by favorable foreign currency effects which increased sales by 6 percent. Increased workdays added a further 2 percent which was offset by the impact of divestitures. On a global basis, industrial activity was mixed. Activity in certain industry and market sectors, such as aerospace, defense and energy, remained positive while others, such as automotive and other durable goods, were somewhat weaker. Regionally, organic sales growth was led by Asia Pacific at 22 percent followed by Latin America, India and Europe at 7 percent, 6 percent and 2 percent, respectively. This offset a reduction in North American organic sales of 8 percent.
MSSG operating income decreased by 22 percent and the operating margin decreased 360 basis points from the same quarter last year. During the September quarter, MSSG recognized restructuring and related charges of $7 million. Absent these charges, MSSG operating income decreased 9 percent and operating margin decreased 190 basis points. The primary drivers of the decline in operating margin were temporary disruption effects related to restructuring initiatives and higher raw material costs offset somewhat by current quarter benefits from price increases and favorable foreign currency effects.

 


 

Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG) sales increased 15 percent during the September quarter, driven by 10 percent organic growth, 3 percent from favorable foreign currency effects and 2 percent from more workdays. Organic sales increased on stronger mining and construction sales and higher energy-related sales, slightly offset by lower sales of engineered products and surface finishing machines and services.
AMSG operating income was level with the prior year quarter while operating margin was 190 basis points lower. During the September quarter, AMSG recognized restructuring and related charges of
$1 million. Absent these charges, AMSG operating income increased 5 percent and the operating margin decreased 130 basis points. The decline in operating margin was due to unfavorable business mix and lower performance in the engineered products and surface finishing machines and services businesses. Improved price realization more than offset the impact of higher raw material costs.
In furtherance of its growth strategy for AMSG, Kennametal acquired Tricon Metal and Services, Inc. (Tricon) on October 1, 2008. Tricon is a leading provider of custom wear solutions specializing in consumable proprietary steels for the surface and underground mining markets, including hard rock and coal.
Outlook
Kennametal has revised its earnings outlook for fiscal 2009 to a range of $2.75 to $2.90, excluding charges that occur relating to the previously announced restructuring actions. Organic sales growth is expected to be f to 2 percent for fiscal 2009.
“Our proven strategies will continue to make us more resilient and serve us well as we move through the current period of turbulence in global markets,” said Frank Simpkins, Kennametal Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Our customer base is broad, our end markets are diverse, our geographic balance has never been better and our balance sheet is strong. Nevertheless, we believe that it is appropriate at this time to reduce our earnings outlook given the existing level of uncertainty in the global economy. Throughout the period, we will continue to manage our cost structure commensurate with prevailing business levels.”
In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, Kennametal expects organic sales growth to be in the range of f to 2 percent and EPS to be in the range of $0.51 and $0.56, excluding charges that occur relating to the previously announced restructuring actions.
Kennametal anticipates cash flow from operating activities of approximately $290 million to $310 million for fiscal 2009. Based on anticipated capital expenditures of $145 million, the company expects to generate between $145 million and $165 million of free operating cash flow for fiscal 2009.

 


 

Dividend Declared
Kennametal also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share. The dividend is payable November 17, 2008 to shareowners of record as of the close of business on November 5, 2008.
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 2009 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, select “Investor Relations and then “Events.” The replay of this event will also be available on the company’s website through November 23, 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 gross profit, operating expense, operating income, MSSG operating income and margin, AMSG operating income and margin, effective tax rate, net income and diluted earnings per share (which are GAAP financial measures), as well as 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. 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 of Form 8-K to which this release is attached.
