Kennametal Reports Q4 and Fiscal 2021 Results; Announces Share Repurchase Program
Sales of $516 million increased 36 percent year-over-year and 6 percent sequentially
Earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.41 and adjusted EPS of $0.53
Strong cash flow from operations of $236 million and free operating cash flow of $113 million
Simplification/modernization capital spend and restructuring substantially complete; achieved total savings of approximately $186 million
First quarter sales expected to outpace normal seasonality
Announces share repurchase program of up to $200 million over three years

PITTSBURGH, (August 2, 2021) – Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) (the "Company") today announced fourth quarter and fiscal 2021 results. For the fourth quarter, the Company reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.41, compared with loss per diluted share (LPS) of $0.11 in the prior year quarter. The current quarter adjusted EPS was $0.53, compared with $0.15 in the prior year quarter. For fiscal 2021, the Company reported EPS of $0.65, compared with LPS of $0.07 in the prior year. Adjusted EPS was $1.04 in the current year, compared with $0.94 in the prior year.
“We ended fiscal 2021 with positive momentum driven by solid execution of our strategic Commercial and Operational Excellence initiatives and continued recovery in our end-markets. Sales increased 6 percent sequentially and 36 percent year-over-year, with notable sequential improvement in General Engineering and Aerospace end-markets. In the quarter, we achieved strong operating leverage, free operating cash flow and 400 basis points of adjusted operating margin improvement year-over-year despite approximately 1,200 basis points of headwinds from prior year temporary cost controls,” said Christopher Rossi, President and CEO.
“Our performance this year demonstrates continued success in transforming the Company, including achieving our simplification/modernization savings target and positioning the Company to deliver strong operating leverage and free operating cash flow at approximately 100 percent of adjusted net income. Looking ahead, we are confident in our growth and profitability strategy and will continue to invest in the business to further those initiatives. We also announced today a share repurchase program of up to $200 million over the next three years, yet another sign of our confidence in the strategy,” Rossi added.

Simplification/Modernization
The Company has achieved total savings of $186 million from simplification/modernization, in line with the $180 million savings target set at Investor Day in December 2017, despite much lower volumes than anticipated when the target was originally set. Total incremental benefits in the quarter were approximately $23 million, which includes incremental restructuring savings of approximately $16 million as noted in the table below.

Share Repurchase Program
Today the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program. Under this program, the Company intends to repurchase up to $200 million of Kennametal common stock. The Company expects to fund repurchases through cash generated from operations.

Fiscal 2021 Fourth Quarter Key Developments
Sales were $516 million compared with $379 million in the same quarter last year. Sales increased by 36 percent, driven by 29 percent organic growth and favorable currency exchange and business day effects of 6 percent and 1 percent, respectively.
Operating income was $61 million, or 11.8 percent margin, compared with $16 million, or 4.1 percent margin, in the same quarter last year. The increase in operating income was due primarily to organic sales growth, approximately $23 million of incremental simplification/modernization benefits and $5 million of pre-tax restructuring and related charges compared to $18 million in the prior year quarter, partially offset by approximately $45 million of temporary cost headwinds caused by the return of variable compensation expense and other cost-control measures that were taken in the prior year and unfavorable geographic and product mix. Adjusted operating income was $66 million, or 12.8 percent margin, compared with $33 million, or 8.8 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.
The reported effective tax rate (ETR) was 31.4 percent and the adjusted ETR was 24.3 percent, compared to reported ETR of 186.1 percent and adjusted ETR of 51.2 percent in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change in the reported ETR is due primarily to higher pretax income in the current year, lower global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) associated with favorable regulations that were issued during the current year, and a tax benefit recorded in the prior year quarter related to the CARES Act. The decrease in the adjusted ETR is due primarily to a higher pretax income in the current year, as well as lower global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) associated with favorable regulations that were issued during the current year.
Reported EPS in the current quarter includes restructuring and related charges of $0.05, the partial annuitization of Canadian pension plans of $0.02 and differences in projected annual tax rates of $0.05. Reported LPS in the prior year quarter includes restructuring and related charges of $0.17 and differences in projected annual tax rates of $0.17 partially offset by the effect of the CARES Act of $0.08.

Fiscal 2021 Key Developments
Sales of $1,841 million decreased from $1,885 million in the prior year. Sales decreased by 2 percent, driven by 4 percent organic decline, partially offset by 2 percent favorable currency exchange effect.
Operating income was $102 million, or 5.5 percent margin, compared with $22 million, or 1.2 percent margin, in the prior year. The increase in operating income was due primarily to incremental simplification/modernization benefits of $85 million, lower raw material costs and $40 million of pre-tax restructuring and related charges compared to $82 million in the prior year, partially offset by increased variable compensation expense, organic sales decline, volume-related manufacturing inefficiencies and unfavorable geographical and product mix. Adjusted operating income was $143 million, or 7.7 percent margin, compared with $141 million, or 7.5 percent margin, in the prior year.
2


Net cash flow provided by operating activities in fiscal 2021 was $236 million compared to $224 million in the prior year. The change in net cash flow provided by operating activities was driven primarily by higher earnings, partially offset by higher cash restructuring outflows and working capital adjustments. Free operating cash flow (FOCF) was $113 million compared to negative $18 million in the prior year. The change in FOCF was driven primarily by lower net capital expenditures due to simplification/modernization initiatives and higher cash flow provided by operating activities.

Outlook
The Company’s expectations for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and the full year are as follows:
Quarterly Outlook
Sales are expected to outpace normal seasonality; up 17 - 22 percent compared to the prior year quarter
Cost headwinds of approximately $15 million from prior year temporary cost controls
Annual Outlook
Strong operating leverage for the full year
First half headwinds from prior year temporary cost controls of approximately $25 million
Free operating cash flow at approximately 100 percent of adjusted net income
Capital spending is expected to be $110 - $130 million
Primary working capital trending toward 30 percent of sales by year-end
Adjusted ETR expected to be 25 - 28 percent
The Company will provide more details regarding its fiscal 2022 assumptions on its conference call.

Fiscal 2021 Fourth Quarter Segment Results
Metal Cutting sales of $312 million increased 37 percent from $227 million in the prior year quarter due to organic sales growth of 30 percent and favorable currency exchange and business days effects of 6 percent and 1 percent, respectively. Operating income was $33 million, or 10.6 percent margin, compared to $0.2 million, or 0.1 percent margin, in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by organic sales growth, incremental simplification/modernization benefits of $14 million and $4 million of pre-tax restructuring and related charges compared to $14 million in the prior year quarter, partially offset by approximately $32 million of temporary cost headwinds caused by the return of variable compensation expense and other cost-control measures that were taken in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $37 million, or 11.7 percent margin, compared to $14 million, or 6.3 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.
Infrastructure sales of $204 million increased 34 percent from $152 million in the prior year driven by organic sales growth of 28 percent and favorable currency exchange and business days effects of 5 percent and 1 percent, respectively. Operating income was $28 million, or 13.5 percent margin, compared to $15 million, or 10.1 percent margin, in the prior year period. The change in operating results was primarily driven by organic sales growth, incremental simplification/modernization benefits of $5 million and $2 million of pre-tax restructuring and related charges compared to $4 million in the prior year quarter, partially offset by approximately $13 million of temporary cost headwinds caused by the return of variable compensation expense and other cost-control measures that were taken in the prior year and unfavorable geographical and product mix. Adjusted operating income was $30 million, or 14.5 percent margin, compared to $19 million, or 12.7 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.

Kennametal also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend is payable on August 24, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 10, 2021.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS (UNAUDITED)
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 income and margin; ETR; net income (loss) attributable to Kennametal; diluted EPS (LPS); Metal Cutting operating income and margin; Infrastructure operating income and margin; FOCF; and consolidated and segment organic sales growth (all of which are non-GAAP financial measures), to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2021 include: (1) restructuring and related charges, (2) the partial annuitization of Canadian pension plans and (3) differences in projected annual tax rates. Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2020 include: (1) restructuring and related charges, (2) the CARES Act and (3) differences in projected annual tax rates. Adjustments for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021 include: (1) restructuring and related charges, (2) a discrete tax benefit, (3) the effects from the early extinguishment of debt, and (4) the partial annuitization of Canadian pension plans. Adjustments for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 include: (1) restructuring and related charges, (2) goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, (3) a loss on divestiture, (4) a discrete benefit from Swiss tax reform, (5) the CARES Act and (6) other tax matters. 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 presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about the results of operations of the Company for the current 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 financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures used by management may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliations and descriptions of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the disclosures below.
Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the following forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for the full fiscal year of 2022 have not been provided, including but not limited to: FOCF, adjusted net income, adjusted ETR and primary working capital. The most comparable GAAP financial measures are net cash flow from operating activities, net income attributable to Kennametal, ETR and working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities), respectively. Primary working capital is defined as accounts receivable, net plus inventories, net minus accounts payable. Because the non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are subject to uncertainty and variability as they are dependent on many factors - including, but not limited to, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, impacts from potential acquisitions or divestitures, gains or losses on the potential sale of businesses or other assets, restructuring costs, asset impairment charges, gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt, the tax impact of the items above and the impact of tax law changes or other tax matters - reconciliations to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

Free Operating Cash Flow (FOCF)
FOCF is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as cash provided by operations (which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) less capital expenditures plus proceeds from disposals of fixed assets. Management considers FOCF to be an important indicator of the Company's cash generating capability because it better represents cash generated from operations that can be used for dividends, debt repayment, strategic initiatives (such as acquisitions) and other investing and financing activities.

Organic Sales Growth (Decline)
Organic sales growth (decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (decline) (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures, business days and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. Management believes this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Management reports organic sales growth at the consolidated and segment levels.
