FY23 sales increased 3 percent year-over-year to $2.1 billion; 9 percent on an organic basis
FY23 earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $1.46 and adjusted EPS of $1.52
Q4 sales increased 4 percent year-over-year to $550 million; 7 percent on an organic basis

Strong cash from operations of $258 million and FOCF of $169 million; highest FOCF in the last eight years
Provides FY24 Q1 and annual Outlook
PITTSBURGH, (August 1, 2023) – Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) (the "Company") today announced fourth quarter and fiscal 2023 results. For the fourth quarter, the Company reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.45, compared with $0.50 in the prior year quarter. The current quarter adjusted EPS was $0.51, compared with $0.53 in the prior year quarter. For fiscal 2023, the Company reported EPS of $1.46, compared with $1.72 in the prior year. Adjusted EPS was $1.52 in the current year, compared with $1.78 in the prior year.
“In fiscal year 2023 we generated $169 million in free operating cash flow, the highest level in eight years. For the full year, we delivered on our revenue and EPS outlook despite macroeconomic uncertainties and headwinds from inflation, foreign exchange, supply chain disruptions and a slower recovery in China,” said Christopher Rossi, President and CEO.
Rossi continued, “Now as we look ahead to fiscal year 2024, we remain confident in our strategy and growth initiatives and the actions we will continue to take to improve margins. We look forward to sharing more details on the Company’s growth and innovation strategy, as well as outlining our operational and financial targets to fiscal year 2027, at our upcoming Investor Day on September 8."

Fiscal 2023 Fourth Quarter Key Developments
Sales were $550 million compared with $530 million in the same quarter last year. Sales increased by 4 percent, driven by 7 percent organic growth, partially offset by an unfavorable currency exchange effect of 2 percent and an unfavorable business days effect of 1 percent.

To better align with the Company's strategic goals and initiatives, certain of the end markets that are reported externally and used to analyze sales performance have been redefined. The changes include 1.) defense sales were moved from general engineering and are now combined with aerospace sales for a new "aerospace and defense" end market, 2.) certain Metal Cutting sales have been reclassified from general engineering to the aerospace and defense end market, and 3.) Infrastructure's ceramics sales have been reclassified from energy to the general engineering end market.
During the quarter, the Company announced an initiative to streamline our cost structure while continuing to invest in our high-return Commercial and Operational Excellence initiatives. This action is currently expected to deliver annualized run rate pre-tax savings of approximately $20 million by the end of fiscal 2024. Total charges of approximately $20 million are expected to be incurred in connection with the execution of this initiative, approximately $7 million of which were recognized during the quarter. Restructuring and related charges in the current quarter also include a reversal of approximately $1 million related to prior actions.
Operating income was $56 million, or 10.2 percent margin, compared with $63 million, or 11.8 percent margin, in the same quarter last year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to higher raw material costs of approximately $11 million, higher restructuring and related charges of approximately $5 million, higher wages and general inflation, lower sales volumes in the Infrastructure segment and unfavorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $2 million. These factors were partially offset by higher price realization. Adjusted operating income was $63 million, or 11.4 percent margin, compared with $65 million, or 12.3 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.
The reported effective tax rate (ETR) was 19.9 percent and the adjusted ETR was 19.7 percent, compared to a reported ETR of 27.8 percent and an adjusted ETR of 27.6 percent in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change in both the reported and adjusted ETR’s was primarily due to adjustments related to valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and reserves related to uncertain tax positions.
Reported EPS in the current quarter includes restructuring and related charges of $0.06 per share. Reported EPS in the prior year quarter includes restructuring and related charges of $0.02 per share and charges related to Russian and Ukrainian operations of $0.01 per share.
During the quarter, the Company repurchased 443 thousand shares of Kennametal common stock for $12 million under its share repurchase program. Inception-to-date the Company has repurchased 4.7 million shares of common stock for $135 million under the $200 million three-year program.
The Company paid $16 million in cash dividends to Kennametal shareholders during the quarter. The Company has a long history of consistently paying dividends to shareholders since its listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 1967.

Fiscal 2023 Key Developments
Sales of $2,078 million increased from $2,012 million in the prior year. Sales increased by 3 percent, driven by 9 percent organic growth, partially offset by an unfavorable currency exchange effect of 5 percent and an unfavorable business days effect of 1 percent.
Operating income was $192 million, or 9.3 percent margin, compared with $218 million, or 10.8 percent margin, in the prior year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to higher raw material costs of approximately $72 million, higher wages and general inflation, unfavorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $18 million, under-absorption of approximately $10 million within the Infrastructure segment, temporary supply chain disruptions of approximately $5 million and higher restructuring and related charges of approximately $2 million. These factors were partially offset by higher price realization and, in the Metal Cutting segment, higher sales volumes. Adjusted operating income was $199 million, or 9.6 percent margin, compared with $224 million, or 11.1 percent margin, in the prior year.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities in fiscal 2023 was $258 million compared to $181 million in the prior year. The change in net cash flow from operating activities was driven primarily by working capital changes including improved inventory levels, partially offset by lower net income. Free operating cash flow (FOCF) was $169 million compared to $85 million in the prior year. The increase in FOCF was driven primarily by working capital changes including improved inventory levels and proceeds received from the disposal of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by lower net income and lower capital expenditures.
In fiscal 2023, Kennametal continued its focus on delivering shareholder value by returning $114 million to the shareholders through $49 million in share repurchases and $65 million in dividends, while investing $94 million in capital expenditures.

$200 million three-year share repurchase program to continue

The Company will provide more details regarding its fiscal 2024 assumptions during its quarterly earnings conference call.

Fiscal 2023 Fourth Quarter Segment Results
Metal Cutting sales of $337 million increased 6 percent from $316 million in the prior year quarter due to organic sales growth of 10 percent, partially offset by an unfavorable currency exchange effect of 2 percent and an unfavorable business days effect of 2 percent. Operating income was $37 million, or 11.0 percent margin, compared to $34 million, or 10.8 percent margin, in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher price realization which was partially offset by higher raw material costs of approximately $5 million, higher restructuring and related charges of approximately $4 million and higher wages and general inflation. Adjusted operating income was $43 million, or 12.6 percent margin, compared to $36 million, or 11.3 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.
Infrastructure sales of $213 million decreased 0.1 percent from $214 million in the prior year quarter driven by an unfavorable currency exchange effect of 2 percent and an unfavorable business days effect of 1 percent, offset by organic sales growth of 3 percent. Operating income was $19 million, or 9.0 percent margin, compared to $29 million, or 13.7 percent margin, in the prior year quarter. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to higher raw material costs of approximately $6 million, higher wages and general inflation, lower sales volumes and unfavorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $1 million. These factors were partially offset by higher price realization. Adjusted operating income was $20 million, or 9.6 percent margin, compared to $30 million, or 14.0 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.
 
Dividend Declared
Kennametal also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend is payable on August 22, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2023.
The Company will discuss its fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and full year results in a live webcast at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, Tuesday, August 1, 2023.

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 attributable to Kennametal; diluted EPS; 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, 2023 include restructuring and related charges and differences in projected annual tax rates. Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2022 include restructuring and related charges, charges related to Russian and Ukrainian operations and differences in projected annual tax rates. Adjustments for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 include restructuring and related charges. Adjustments for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 include restructuring and related charges, charges related to Russian and Ukrainian operations and a gain on the New Castle divestiture. 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 first quarter and full fiscal year of 2024 have not been provided, including but not limited to: FOCF, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted ETR and primary working capital. The most comparable GAAP financial measures are net cash flow from operating activities, operating income, 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
Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (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.
