NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
1. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
in the company's 1994 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 1994 has been derived from the audited balance
sheet included in the company's 1994 Annual Report. These interim
statements are unaudited; however, management believes that all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and all
adjustments are normal, recurring adjustments. The results for the
six months ended December 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
2. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for a significant portion of
domestic inventories and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or
average cost for other inventories. The company used the LIFO method
of valuing its inventories for approximately 60 percent of total
inventories at December 31, 1994. Because inventory valuations under
the LIFO method are based on an annual determination of quantities and
costs as of June 30 of each year, the interim LIFO valuations are based
on management's projections of expected year-end inventory levels and
costs. Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any
final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.
3. The major classes of inventory as of the balance sheet dates were as
follows (dollars in thousands):
December 31, June 30,
1994 1994
------------- ---------
Finished goods $125,208 $112,202
Work in process and powder blends 56,034 54,831
Raw materials and supplies 23,884 20,571
-------- --------
Inventory at current cost 205,126 187,604
Less LIFO valuation (32,370) (29,425)
-------- --------
Total inventories $172,756 $158,179
======== ========
4. The company has been involved in various environmental cleanup and
remediation activities at several of its manufacturing facilities. In
addition, the company has been named as a potentially responsible party
at four Superfund sites in the United States. However, it is
management's opinion, based on its evaluations and discussions with
outside counsel and independent consultants, that the ultimate
resolution of these environmental matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the
company.
The company maintains a Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety
(EH&S) Department to effect compliance with all environmental
regulations and to monitor and oversee remediation activities. In
addition, the company has established an EH&S administrator at each of
its domestic manufacturing facilities. The company's financial
management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EH&S
Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the
status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly and
annual basis, management establishes or adjusts financial provisions and
reserves for environmental contingencies in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies."
5. On August 4, 1993, the company completed the acquisition of an 81
percent interest in Hertel AG (Hertel) for $43 million in cash and $55
million of assumed debt. Hertel is a manufacturer of cemented carbide
tools and tooling systems based in Furth, Germany.
The Hertel acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of Hertel for the
period beginning as of August 4, 1993, forward are included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The purchase
price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on fair market value at the date of acquisition. The excess of
the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired
has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over twenty years.
The fair values (as adjusted) of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
are summarized below (in thousands):
Current assets $114,800
Property, plant and equipment 70,200
Intangible assets (goodwill) 5,800
Deferred tax asset 40,600
Other noncurrent assets 12,400
Current liabilities 104,700
Long-term liabilities 89,400
As presented above, current liabilities includes a reserve of
approximately $36.0 million (pretax) for the restructuring of Hertel.
The restructuring costs primarily include amounts for severance, phase-
out and relocation. The cumulative charges to the restructuring reserve
total $25.6 million, leaving a balance of $11.8 million at December 31,
1994. It is expected that the restructuring, which began in fiscal
1994, will be substantially completed during fiscal year 1995.
Since January 1, 1994, the company has purchased an additional
37,000 common shares of Hertel at a purchase price of DM128 per share.
The company's ownership interest in Hertel as of December 31, 1994 was
85 percent.
In connection with the acquisition of Hertel, the company recognized a
special charge in the September 1993 quarter of approximately $20.4
million after taxes in connection with the closure of its manufacturing
facility in Neunkirchen, Germany, and other integration related actions.
The cumulative charges to the related reserve total $19.8 million, a
significant portion of which were cash charges, leaving a balance of
$4.1 million at December 31, 1994. It is expected that spending
related to this charge will be substantially completed during fiscal
year 1995.
The effect of the purchase on the company's operations, assuming the
transaction had occurred on July 1, 1992, would be as follows:

The pro forma financial information presented above does not purport to
present what the company's results of operations would actually have
been if the acquisition of Hertel had occurred on July 1, 1992, or to
project the company's results of operations for any future period.
6. Effective July 1, 1993, the company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The change
did not significantly affect earnings before cumulative effect of
changes in methods of accounting in the first quarter of fiscal year
1994.
The company provides varying levels of postretirement health care and
life insurance benefits to most U.S. employees who retire from active
service after having attained age 55 and 10 years of service. This plan
remains in effect for all current retirees and employees who will retire
prior to January 1, 1997. However, for those employees retiring on or
after January 1, 1997, the following plan amendments will be effective.
The company's retiree health care payments will be capped at 1996
levels. To qualify for medical benefits at normal retirement (age 65 or
later), employees must have a minimum of 5 years of service after age
40. Medical benefits will be available for only those retirements that
begin on or after the normal retirement age of 65.
The following table presents the components of the company's liability
for future retiree health care and life insurance benefits as of June
30, 1994 and July 1, 1993.

======== ========
As of December 31, 1994, the company's accrued postretirement benefit
liability was $36.3 million.
The components of retiree health care cost for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1994 were as follows:
(Dollars in thousands)
Three months Six months
Ended December 31 Ended December 31,
1994 1994
----------------- ------------------
Service cost $ 300 $ 600
Interest cost 725 1,450
------ ------
Total cost $1,025 $2,050
====== ======
The discount rate used in calculating the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligations was 8.5 percent. In determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligations at July 1, 1993 and June 30, 1994,
the assumed rates of increase in health care were 15 percent for
retirees under age 65 and 10 percent for persons age 65 and older.
These rates are assumed to decrease to varying degrees annually to
6 percent for years 2002 and thereafter. A 1 percent increase in the
trend rate would increase both the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation at June 30, 1994 and the total cost of the plan for the
second quarter of fiscal year 1995 by approximately 8 percent. The
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is unfunded.
Effective July 1, 1994, the company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." Under the new standard, the
company must recognize the obligation to provide benefits to former or
inactive employees after employment, but before retirement. The
implementation of the new standard did not have a material impact on the
results of operations or financial position of the company.
7. Effective July 1, 1993, the company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." The company previously accounted for income taxes
pursuant to the provisions of APB No. 11. The new standard requires the
use of the liability method to recognize deferred income tax assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates. As a result of implementing the
change in accounting principle, a net deferred tax liability of $5.6
million was recognized relating to net operating loss carryforwards and
other tax attributes existing as of July 1, 1993. In addition, the
income tax effect of the new method of accounting related to the
company's adoption of SFAS No. 106 as of July 1, 1993 was the
recognition of additional deferred tax assets of $13.9 million. The
combined effect of these items resulted in the recognition of an $8.3
million net deferred tax asset and a net income tax benefit of $5.1
million.
As a component of its cumulative adjustment from implementing SFAS No.
109, the company recognized a charge of $1.1 million to establish a
valuation reserve related to certain tax attributes comprising its net
deferred tax asset. As of July 1, 1993, deferred tax liabilities
associated with existing taxable temporary differences exceeded deferred
tax assets from future deductible temporary differences, excluding those
attributable to SFAS No. 106, by approximately $5.7 million. The
recognition by the company as of July 1, 1993, of the entire transition
obligation related to adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 106 resulted
in the recognition of a $13.9 million deferred tax asset. Future
operating costs under SFAS No. 106 are expected to exceed deductible
amounts for income tax purposes for many years. In addition, under
current federal tax regulations, should the company incur tax losses in
future periods, such losses may be carried forward to offset taxable
income for a period of up to 15 years. Based upon the length of the
period during which the SFAS No. 106-generated deferred tax asset can be
utilized, the company believes that it is more likely than not that
future taxable income will be sufficient to offset fully these future
deductions and a valuation allowance for this deferred tax asset is not
necessary.
At June 30, 1994, the company had unused tax benefits of $50.8 million
related to non-U.S. net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for income
tax purposes, of which $46.7 million can be carried forward indefinitely
with the balance expiring at various dates through 2001. A significant
portion ($46.7 million) of the unused tax benefits relate to the Federal
Republic of Germany.
The company believes that it is more likely than not that $45.1 million
of NOL carryforwards will be utilized in future periods. The recorded
tax benefits are expected to be realized by achieving future profitable
operations in Germany. The German NOL carryforwards can be carried
forward indefinitely.
8. On January 3, 1995, the company acquired Adaptive Technologies
Corporation (ATC) for approximately $2.8 million. ATC is a
manufacturer of steel toolholding devices based in Michigan. The ATC
acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method and,
accordingly, the results of operations of ATC for the period beginning
as of January 4, 1995, forward will be included in the company's
consolidated financial statements.
On February 1, 1995, the company acquired Grupo Tecnico de Herramientas
S.A. de C.V. (GTH) for approximately $1 million. GTH is a distributor
of metalcutting tools and supplies based in Mexico. The GTH acquisition
will be accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the
results of operations of GTH for the period beginning as of February 2,
1995, forward will be included in the company's consolidated financial
statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
There were no material changes in financial position, liquidity or capital
resources between June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1994. The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 1.8 as of December 31, 1994 as compared with
1.6 as of June 30, 1994. The debt to capital ratio (i.e., total debt divided
by the sum of total debt and shareholders' equity) was 31 percent as of
December 31, 1994 unchanged from June 30, 1994.
In the September 1993 quarter, the company recorded cumulative effect charges
aggregating $15 million after taxes for the adoption of SFAS No. 106 and SFAS
No. 109. While these charges did not involve the use of cash, they had a
significant effect on various components of the company's consolidated
financial position at December 31, 1993.
Capital expenditures are estimated to be $50-55 million in fiscal year 1995.
Expenditures are being made to modernize facilities and upgrade machinery and
equipment. Capital expenditures are being financed with cash from operations
and borrowings under existing revolving credit agreements with banks.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES AND EARNINGS
During the quarter ended December 31, 1994, consolidated sales were $230
million, up 18 percent from $195 million in the same quarter last year.
Net income for the December 1994 quarter was $11.9 million, or $0.45 per
share, as compared with $4.1 million, or $0.18 per share last year.
During the six month period ended December 31, 1994, consolidated sales were
$449 million, up 21 percent from $371 million last year. The prior year sales
include only five months of Kennametal Hertel AG (Hertel) revenues. Hertel is
a German toolmaker acquired by Kennametal in August 1993.
For the six month period, net income was $22.5 million, or $0.85 per share, as
compared with a net loss of $29.0 million, or $1.28 per share in the same
period last year. The net loss reported in the prior year includes the
unfavorable cumulative noncash effect of adopting Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions" ($20.1 million net of income tax effect) and the
favorable cumulative noncash effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes" ($5.1 million). In addition to the cumulative effect of changes
in accounting principles, prior year results included a restructuring charge
of $20.4 million after taxes.

During the December 1994 quarter, worldwide sales of metalworking products
increased 19 percent from those of the prior year.
In the United States, sales of metalcutting inserts and toolholding devices
increased 15 percent. Total sales of industrial supply products increased 22
percent as a result of increased sales through mail order catalogs and full
service supply programs.
International sales of metalworking products increased 26 percent from the
previous year primarily because of higher sales volume in Europe and Canada
and favorable foreign currency translation effects. Excluding currency
translation effects, metalworking sales increased an estimated 17 percent.
For the six month period, worldwide sales of metalworking products increased
23 percent from the prior year because of increased sales of metalworking
products in the United States and Europe, the impact of the acquisition of
Hertel and favorable foreign currency translation effects. Excluding foreign
currency translation effects, international sales of metalworking products
increased 28 percent from last year. The prior year sales include only five
months of Hertel revenues.
MINING AND CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS
During the December 1994 quarter, sales of mining and construction tools
increased nine percent from the previous year because of strong domestic
demand for highway construction and mining tools. International demand for
highway construction and mining tools remains weak, particularly in Europe.
For the six month period, sales of mining and construction tools increased 11
percent from the prior year primarily because of strong domestic demand for
highway construction and mining tools.
METALLURGICAL PRODUCTS
During the December 1994 quarter, sales of metallurgical products increased 27
percent from the previous year primarily because of strong international
demand for carbide powders.
For the six month period, sales of metallurgical products rose 27 percent
primarily because of strong international demand for carbide powders.
GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin for the December 1994
quarter was 41.1 percent as compared with 39.4 percent in the prior year. The
gross profit margin benefited from a favorable sales mix and increased
manufacturing efficiencies. However, these benefits were partially offset by
higher raw material costs.
For the six month period, the gross profit margin was 41.3 percent, up from
39.6 percent last year. The gross profit margin was favorably affected by
sales mix and increased manufacturing efficiencies. However, these benefits
were partially offset by higher raw material costs.
OPERATING EXPENSES
For the quarter ended December 31, 1994, research and development, marketing
and general and administrative expenses increased five percent as a result of
higher sales volume and unfavorable foreign currency translation effects.
As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were 30.5 percent for the quarter
ended December 31, 1994, as compared with 34.3 percent for the same period
last year. The operating expense ratio decreased as a result of the decrease
in general and administrative expenses combined with the increase in
consolidated sales.
For the six month period, as a percentage of sales, operating expenses were
30.8 percent, as compared with 34.4 percent in the same period last year. The
operating expense ratio decreased as a result of the decrease in general and
administrative expenses combined with the increase in consolidated sales.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $3.0 million and $6.5 million for the quarter and six
months ended December 31, 1994, respectively, as compared with $3.6 million
and $7.7 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. The decrease
in both periods was primarily due to the lower amount of debt outstanding
during the respective periods. As of December 31, 1994 approximately 39
percent of the company's total debt was subject to variable interest rates.
INCOME TAXES
For the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the effective tax rate was 42.0
percent as compared with 32.9 percent in the same period last year.
For the six month period ended December 31, 1994, the effective tax rate was
42.3 percent. Excluding the effects of the accounting changes and the
restructuring charge, the effective tax rate for the comparable prior year
period was 42.9 percent.
OUTLOOK
In looking to the third quarter ending March 31, 1995, management expects
consolidated sales to increase from the $212 million achieved in the same
quarter last year. Sales of metalworking products in the United States should
continue to benefit from catalog sales and full service supply programs. In
addition, international sales are expected to improve as the German economy
strengthens. Sales of mining and construction tools should continue to grow
as a result of increased domestic demand for highway construction and mining
tools.
