KENNAMETAL INC. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 our 2001 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2001 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2001 Annual Report. These interim statements are unaudited; however, we believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation were made and all adjustments are normal, recurring adjustments. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a "year" is to a fiscal year ended June 30. We reclassified certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation. 2. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. We use the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for determining the cost of a significant portion of our U.S. inventories. We determine cost for the remainder of our inventories under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost methods. We used the LIFO method of valuing inventories for approximately 50 percent of total inventories at September 30, 2001. 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 our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments. Inventories as of the balance sheet dates consisted of the following (in thousands): September 30, June 30, 2001 2001 ---- ---- Finished goods $ 290,534 $ 284,801 Work in process and powder blends 99,547 94,231 Raw materials and supplies 36,311 32,130 --------- --------- Inventory at current cost 426,392 411,162 Less LIFO valuation (43,691) (37,941) --------- --------- Total inventories $ 382,701 $ 373,221 ========= ========= 3. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at several of our manufacturing facilities. In addition, we are currently named as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at several Superfund sites in the United States. In December 1999, we recorded a remediation reserve of $3.0 million with respect to our involvement in these matters, which was recorded as a component of operating expense. This represents our best estimate of the undiscounted future obligation based on our evaluations and discussions with outside counsel and independent consultants, and the current facts and circumstances related to these matters. We recorded this liability because certain events occurred, including the identification of other PRPs, an assessment of potential remediation solutions and direction from the government for the remedial action plan that clarified our level of involvement in these matters and our relationship to other PRPs. This led us to conclude that it was probable a liability had been incurred. Through September 30, 2001, we incurred costs of $0.4 million, which were charged against this accrual. In addition to the amount currently reserved, we may be subject to loss contingencies related to these matters estimated to be up to an additional $3.0 million. We believe that such undiscounted unreserved losses are reasonably possible but are not currently considered to be probable of occurrence. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially in the near term due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and direction taken by government agencies on these matters. - 4 -

KENNAMETAL INC. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) We maintain a Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) Department, as well as an EH&S Policy Committee, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and to monitor and oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have established an EH&S administrator at all our global manufacturing facilities. Our 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 basis, we establish or adjust financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." 4. For purposes of determining the number of dilutive shares outstanding, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due to the dilutive effect of unexercised stock options by 442,942 and 39,253 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Options to purchase 1.3 million and 2.2 million shares at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option price was greater than the average market price. 5. Comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, --------------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Net income $ 12,444 $ 9,342 Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax -- 1,571 Unrealized loss on derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges, net of tax (1,533) (302) Reclassification of unrealized gains or losses on matured derivatives, net of tax (636) (58) Unrealized loss on marketable equity securities available-for-sale, net of tax (2,285) (1,618) Minimum pension liability adjustment, net of tax (281) 47 Foreign currency translation adjustments 5,252 (10,127) -------- --------- Comprehensive income (loss) $ 12,961 $ (1,145) ======== ======== The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss consist of the following (in thousands): September 30, June 30, 2001 2001 ---- ---- Unrealized gain (loss) on marketable equity securities available-for-sale, net of tax $ (1,001) $ 1,284 Unrealized losses on derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges, net of tax (4,691) (2,522) Minimum pension liability adjustment, net of tax (3,801) (3,520) Foreign currency translation adjustments (61,880) (67,132) -------- -------- Total accumulated other comprehensive loss $(71,373) $(71,890) ======== ======== - 5 -

KENNAMETAL INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. On July 1, 2000, we adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," resulting in the recording of current assets of $1.6 million, long-term assets of $1.4 million, current liabilities of $1.3 million, long-term liabilities of $0.7 million, a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.6 million, net of tax, and a loss from the cumulative effect from the change in accounting principle of $0.6 million, net of tax. We recognized income of $0.1 million and expense of $0.1 million as a component of other expense, net during the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, related to hedge ineffectiveness. Based upon foreign exchange and interest rates at September 30, 2001, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months net current liabilities of $4.9 million related to outstanding derivative instruments and net gains of $0.2 million, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, related to expired derivative instruments. 7. Effective July 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which establishes new accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, all goodwill amortization ceased effective July 1, 2001. Material amounts of recorded goodwill attributable to each of our reporting units, including those affected by the restructuring program announced in November 2001 (see Note 11), currently is being tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. This testing could result in an impairment loss. These impairment tests are required to be performed within six months of adoption of SFAS No. 142, or December 31, 2001, and at least annually thereafter. On an ongoing basis (absent any impairment indicators), we expect to perform our impairment tests during the June quarter, in connection with our annual budgeting process. Under SFAS No. 142, any impairment adjustment recognized at adoption of this standard will be reflected as a cumulative effect of accounting change. Impairment adjustments recognized after adoption, if any, are required to be recognized as a component of operating expense. The carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each segment at September 30, 2001 and June 30, 2001 is as follows (in thousands): September 30, June 30, 2001 2001 ------------- -------- MSSG $316,376 $315,463 AMSG 249,696 249,345 J&L Industrial Supply 45,748 45,748 Full Service Supply 4,707 4,707 -------- -------- Total $616,527 $615,263 ======== ======== In connection with adopting SFAS No. 142, we also reassessed the useful lives and the classification of our identifiable intangible assets and determined that they continue to be appropriate. The remaining lives of these assets primarily range from one to four years. The components of our amortized intangible assets are as follows (in thousands): September 30, 2001 June 30, 2001 ------------------------------ ------------------------------- Gross Carrying Accumulated Gross Carrying Accumulated Amount Amortization Amount Amortization ------ ------------ ------ ------------ Contract based $ 11,492 $ (7,971) $ 12,098 $ (7,969) Technology based and other 4,816 (2,855) 5,098 (2,817) Intangible pension asset 3,234 -- 3,087 -- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total $ 19,542 $(10,826) $ 20,283 $(10,786) ======== ======== ======== ======== - 6 -

KENNAMETAL INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amortization expense for intangible assets during the September 2001 quarter was $0.7 million.

KENNAMETAL INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. In 2001, we began to implement a business improvement plan in the J&L Industrial Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS) segments. In the J&L segment for the September 2001 quarter, we recorded a restructuring and asset impairment charge of $1.6 million, including $1.1 million for severance for 20 individuals, $0.3 million for facility closures and $0.2 million for the closure of the German operations. In the FSS segment for the September 2001 quarter, we recorded restructuring charges for severance related to five individuals. Additionally in 2001, we took actions to reduce our salaried work force in response to the weakened U.S. manufacturing sector. This core-business resize program is completed. The costs accrued for these plans were based on estimates using the latest information available at the time that the accrual was established. We continue to review our business strategies and pursue other cost-reduction activities in all business segments, some of which could result in future charges. September 2001 charges and the restructuring accrual at September 30, 2001 are as follows (in thousands): Restructuring Expense June 30, For New Cash September 30, 2001 Initiatives Adjustments Expenditures 2001 ------- ----------- ----------- ------------ -------- J&L business improvement program: Employee severance $ 251 $ 1,086 $ -- $(1,139) $ 198 Facility closures 940 452 79 (445) 1,026 FSS business improvement program 141 42 (71) (76) 36 Core-business resize program 2,336 -- (10) (1,091) 1,235 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total $ 3,668 $ 1,580 $ (2) $(2,751) $ 2,495 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= In the September 2001 quarter, we incurred period costs of $0.1 million related to these initiatives which were included in cost of goods sold as incurred. The adjustments for the facility closures were due to incremental costs incurred to exit these facilities. The other adjustments relate to reductions in actual amounts paid for severance costs compared to what was initially anticipated. We recorded these adjustments as a component of restructuring and asset impairment charge. In 2000, we announced plans to close, consolidate or downsize several plants, warehouses and offices, and associated work force reductions as part of our overall plan to increase asset utilization and financial performance, and to reposition Kennametal to become the premier tooling solutions supplier. The costs charged against the restructuring accrual for the 2000 programs as of September 30, 2001 were as follows (in thousands): June 30, Cash September 30, 2001 Expenditures Adjustments 2001 ------ ------------ ----------- ------------- Employee severance $ 153 $ (79) $ -- $ 74 Facility rationalizations 2,269 (733) -- 1,536 ------ ------ -------- ------ Total $2,422 $ (812) $ -- $1,610 ====== ====== ======== ====== In 1999, we implemented restructuring programs to reduce costs, improve operations and enhance customer satisfaction. Accruals for these 1999 programs were $0.3 million at September 30, 2001. Costs charged against the accrual for the voluntary early retirement plan in the September 2001 quarter were $0.1 million. - 8 -

KENNAMETAL INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. We operate four global business units consisting of Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG), Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG), J&L Industrial Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS), and corporate functional shared services. Our external sales, intersegment sales and operating income by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, ---------------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- External sales: MSSG $ 222,957 $ 248,677 AMSG 83,005 87,511 J&L Industrial Supply 59,121 76,623 Full Service Supply 41,571 40,824 --------- --------- Total external sales $ 406,654 $ 453,635 ========= ========= Intersegment sales: MSSG $ 31,733 $ 23,966 AMSG 6,206 7,174 J&L Industrial Supply 591 1,008 Full Service Supply 688 3,238 --------- --------- Total intersegment sales $ 39,218 $ 35,386 ========= ========= Total sales: MSSG $ 254,690 $ 272,643 AMSG 89,211 94,685 J&L Industrial Supply 59,712 77,631 Full Service Supply 42,259 44,062 --------- --------- Total sales $ 445,872 $ 489,021 ========= ========= Operating income (loss): MSSG $ 24,671 $ 28,759 AMSG 10,363 11,191 J&L Industrial Supply 732 (1,195) Full Service Supply 1,172 2,007 Corporate and eliminations (9,244) (7,290) --------- --------- Total operating income $ 27,694 $ 33,472 ========= ========= J&L operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was reduced by $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to restructuring and asset impairment charges. Additionally, operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 includes $1.7 million of costs primarily related to the tender offer to acquire the outstanding shares of JLK. FSS operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 includes restructuring charges of $0.2 million. 10. In August 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" was issued. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of and supersedes FASB Statement No. 121. This statement retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The provisions of this standard must be applied for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We are currently evaluating the effects of SFAS No. 144 and are preparing a plan for implementation. 11. In November 2001, we announced a restructuring program whereby we expect to recognize special charges of $15 million to $20 million, including period costs of $5 million to $6 million, for the closure of three manufacturing locations and the relocation of production of a certain product line from another plant, and associated workforce reductions, in response to continued steep declines in the AMSG electronics and MSSG industrial product markets. Approximately half of the special charges will be cash expenditures. Ongoing annual benefits of $7 million to $9 million are expected to be fully realized by the end of fiscal 2002. These actions are expected to improve our competitiveness in these markets and to be substantially completed during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2002. - 9 -

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SALES Sales for the September 2001 quarter were $406.7 million, a decline of 10 percent from $453.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Sales were eight percent below last year excluding unfavorable foreign currency effects of two percent, the effect of a divestiture of one percent, and incremental workdays in the September 2001 quarter. Sales in North America contributed to the majority of the decline as these industrial markets continued to weaken with the exception of mining and energy. However, European sales continued to show growth, albeit at a low single digit rate, reflecting a broad-based decline in these markets. GROSS PROFIT MARGIN The gross profit margin for the September 2001 quarter was 31.9 percent, a 170 basis point decline compared with 33.6 percent in the year-ago quarter. The margin decline was due principally to unfavorable foreign exchange and a significant decline in capacity utilization in the electronics and industrial products businesses due to the precipitous drop in demand. Additionally, price increases and incremental productivity improvements from lean enterprise implementation offset an unfavorable sales mix and modest increases in raw material costs. OPERATING EXPENSE Operating expense for the September 2001 quarter was $99.9 million, a reduction of nine percent compared to the year-ago quarter, excluding $1.7 million of costs in 2000 related primarily to the tender offer to acquire the minority shares of JLK. The elimination of waste and expense through lean initiatives and other cost-cutting measures nearly kept pace with the sales decline. Excluding foreign exchange, operating expense declined seven percent. RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGE In 2001, we began to implement a business improvement plan in the J&L Industrial Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS) segments. In the J&L segment for the September 2001 quarter, we recorded a restructuring and asset impairment charge of $1.6 million, including $1.1 million for severance for 20 individuals, $0.3 million for facility closures and $0.2 million for the closure of the German operations. In the FSS segment for the September 2001 quarter, we recorded restructuring charges for severance related to five individuals. Additionally in 2001, we took actions to reduce our salaried work force in response to the weakened U.S. manufacturing sector. This core-business resize program is completed. The costs accrued for these plans were based on estimates using the latest information available at the time that the accrual was established. We continue to review our business strategies and pursue other cost-reduction activities in all business segments, some of which could result in future charges. September 2001 charges and the restructuring accrual at September 30, 2001 are as follows (in thousands): Restructuring Expense June 30, For New Cash September 30, 2001 Initiatives Adjustments Expenditures 2001 -------- ----------- ----------- ------------ -------- J&L business improvement program: Employee severance $ 251 $ 1,086 $ -- $(1,139) $ 198 Facility closures 940 452 79 (445) 1,026 FSS business improvement program 141 42 (71) (76) 36 Core-business resize program 2,336 -- (10) (1,091) 1,235 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total $ 3,668 $ 1,580 $ (2) $(2,751) $ 2,495 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= - 10 -

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the September 2001 quarter, we incurred period costs of $0.1 million related to these initiatives which were included in cost of goods sold as incurred. The adjustments for the facility closures were due to incremental costs incurred to exit these facilities. The other adjustments relate to reductions in actual amounts paid for severance costs compared to what was initially anticipated. We recorded these adjustments as a component of restructuring and asset impairment charge. In 2000, we announced plans to close, consolidate or downsize several plants, warehouses and offices, and associated work force reductions as part of our overall plan to increase asset utilization and financial performance, and to reposition Kennametal to become the premier tooling solutions supplier. The costs charged against the restructuring accrual for the 2000 programs as of September 30, 2001 were as follows (in thousands): June 30, Cash September 30, 2001 Expenditures Adjustments 2001 ------ ------------ ----------- ------------- Employee severance $ 153 $ (79) $ -- $ 74 Facility rationalizations 2,269 (733) -- 1,536 ------ ------ --------- ------ Total $2,422 $ (812) $ -- $1,610 ====== ====== ========= ====== In 1999, we implemented restructuring plans including several programs to reduce costs, improve operations and enhance customer satisfaction. Accruals for these 1999 programs were $0.3 million at September 30, 2001. Costs charged against the accrual for the voluntary early retirement plan in the September 2001 quarter were $0.1 million. AMORTIZATION EXPENSE We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on July 1, 2001. As a result of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142, we ceased amortizing goodwill resulting in the decline in amortization expense to $0.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $6.3 million in the year-ago quarter. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense for the September 2001 quarter declined 30 percent to $9.0 million, compared to the same quarter last year, due to ongoing reduction in debt and lower average borrowing rates. Our average U.S. borrowing rates of 5.55 percent were 189 basis points below year ago levels due to Federal Reserve rate cuts. OTHER EXPENSE, NET Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 included fees of $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, incurred in connection with the accounts receivable securitization program. The decline in these fees is due to lower interest rates in the commercial paper market. Other income for the September 2001 quarter included a gain of $0.8 million from the sale of miscellaneous underutilized assets. The remainder of the decline from 2000 is due to lower foreign exchange losses and higher royalty income. INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the September 2001 quarter was 32.0 percent compared to an effective tax rate of 40.5 percent in the year-ago quarter. The pro forma effective tax rate for the September 2000 quarter would have been 35.5 percent, reflecting the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. The remainder of the decline primarily reflects a reduction of the statutory German tax rate effective July 1, 2001. - 11 -

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE On July 1, 2000, we adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," resulting in the recording of a loss from the cumulative effect from the change in accounting principle of $0.6 million, net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share. The loss primarily relates to the write-down of previously paid option premiums. NET INCOME Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $12.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. Pro forma earnings for the September 2000 quarter were $13.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, reflecting the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. Excluding special charges in each quarter, net income was $13.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the September 2001 quarter, compared to pro forma net income of $15.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the September 2000 quarter. The decline in earnings is attributable to lower sales levels and margins, partially offset by lower operating expense and interest costs, and a decline in our effective tax rate. Special charges in the September 2001 quarter of $1.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, primarily relate to the J&L business improvement plan. Special charges in the September 2000 quarter of $3.2 million or $0.06 per diluted share, related to the J&L and FSS business improvement plans and costs associated with the tender offer to acquire the outstanding shares of JLK, coupled with a charge of $0.6 million, net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share, related to the adoption of SFAS No. 133. BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW We operate four global business units consisting of Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG), Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG), J&L Industrial Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS), and corporate functional shared services. METALWORKING SOLUTIONS & SERVICES GROUP Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- External sales $ 222,957 $ 248,677 Intersegment sales 31,733 23,966 Operating income 24,671 28,759 MSSG sales declined seven percent compared to the September 2000 quarter, excluding unfavorable foreign exchange effects of three percent due to the stronger U.S. dollar. Most major end markets weakened year-over-year. In North America, sales were down 11 percent, while Europe and Asia were up two and seven percent, respectively, in local currency. In North America, the automotive market continued to weaken, although the rate of decline has decreased, while in Europe, automotive sustained previously attained high levels. In North America and Europe, machine tool builders, both heavy and light engineering and aerospace slowed. Operating income was $24.7 million compared to $31.2 million last year, excluding goodwill amortization in 2000. The decline in operating income is primarily due to lower sales, lower capacity utilization and unfavorable foreign exchange effects. - 12 -

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVANCED MATERIALS SOLUTIONS GROUP Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- External sales $ 83,005 $ 87,511 Intersegment sales 6,206 7,174 Operating income 10,363 11,191 AMSG sales declined four percent, from the September 2000 quarter, excluding unfavorable foreign exchange effects of one percent. Higher demand for products used for oil and gas exploration and mining and construction, contributed six percent to the growth in sales, on a local currency basis. This was offset by weak demand in the electronics business. Operating income was $10.4 million compared to $13.4 million last year, excluding goodwill amortization in 2000. Unfavorable foreign currency effects reduced operating income by $0.6 million. Margin expansion in mining and construction contributed to operating income growth, however this was more than offset by soft market conditions and operating inefficiencies related to low volumes in electronics. J&L INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- External sales $ 59,121 $ 76,623 Intersegment sales 591 1,008 Operating income (loss) 732 (1,195) J&L sales declined 18 percent compared to last year excluding the effects of the ATS divestiture. The decline in sales is primarily attributed to the North American automotive downturn and further weakening in the broader industrial market. Operating income was $2.4 million in the September 2001 quarter, compared to $2.6 million in the prior year, excluding special charges in each period and goodwill amortization in 2000. Operating income declined due to the reduction in sales despite the lower cost structure as a result of the business improvement plan. J&L operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was reduced by $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to restructuring and asset impairment charges. Additionally, operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 includes $1.7 million of costs primarily related to the tender offer to acquire the outstanding shares of JLK. FULL SERVICE SUPPLY Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- External sales $ 41,571 $ 40,824 Intersegment sales 688 3,238 Operating income 1,172 2,007 FSS sales increased two percent compared to last year due primarily to higher sales to certain automotive customers. Operating income of $1.2 million, declined $1.0 million compared to the prior year, excluding a restructuring charge of $0.2 million in the prior year. The decline is due to overall lower gross margins due to higher percentage of sales to the automotive sector. - 13 -

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our cash flow from operations is the primary source of financing for capital expenditures and internal growth. During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, we generated $8.8 million in cash flow from operations, a decline of $39.5 million compared to the year-ago quarter. The decline resulted primarily from higher working capital requirements of $32.6 million, due to higher raw material purchases and increased cash payments primarily related to income tax liabilities, and a $10.0 million reduction in non-cash items, primarily lower amortization expense due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142. This was partially offset by $3.1 million of higher earnings in the September 2001 quarter. Net cash used for investing activities was $7.1 million, a decline of $6.4 million compared to the year-ago quarter. The decline is due to higher proceeds realized from the sale of underutilized assets of $2.5 million, a reduction of the purchase of minority interests of consolidated subsidiaries of $1.9 million and lower capital expenditures of $1.4 million. We have lowered our projected capital expenditures for 2002 to be in the range of $50 to $60 million as a result of further weakening of the U.S. economy. We believe this level of capital spending is sufficient to maintain competitiveness and improve productivity. Net cash used for financing activities was $4.1 million, a decline of $21.0 million compared to the same period last year. This decline primarily is due to incremental borrowings in 2001 of $4.4 million, compared with debt reduction in 2000 of $25.6 million, offset by treasury stock purchases of $12.4 million in 2001. In September 2001, we continued our program to repurchase, from time to time, our outstanding capital stock for investment or other general corporate purposes. We purchased 375,000 shares of our capital stock at a total cost of $12.4 million. As a result of these repurchases, we have completed our repurchase program, announced January 31, 1997, of 1.6 million shares and brought the total purchased under the authority of the repurchase program announced in October 2000 to approximately 0.2 million shares. The repurchases were financed principally by cash from operations and short-term borrowings. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in negotiated or other permissible transactions. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets were $1,822.6 million at September 30, 2001, flat compared to June 30, 2001. Net working capital, excluding the revolving credit loan of $380.0 million, was $399.6 million, up three percent from $386.7 million at June 30, 2001. Primary working capital as a percentage of sales (PWC%) at September 30, 2001 was 27.5 percent, compared to 27.3 percent at June 30, 2001 and 28.3 percent at September 30, 2000. The increase in net working capital and PWC% is primarily due to lower sales levels and reduced accounts payable levels. Inventory turnover increased to 3.0 at September 30, 2001, compared to 2.9 at June 30, 2001, and 2.8 at September 30, 2000, due to initiatives aimed at increasing inventory turns. The total debt-to-total capital ratio increased to 43.6 percent at September 30, 2001 from 42.9 percent at June 30, 2001 primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange effects of $16.3 million and higher borrowings to fund treasury stock repurchases. The foreign exchange effects were a result of the U.S. dollar weakening against the Euro. This ratio declined from 44.7 percent at September 30, 2000 due primarily to reduced debt levels, partially offset by lower minority interest. The revolving credit loan under the Bank Credit Facility is due in August 2003 and is classified as a current liability. We currently intend on refinancing this loan on or before the maturity date. - 14 -

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In August 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" was issued. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of and supersedes FASB Statement No. 121. This statement retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The provisions of this standard must be applied for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We are currently evaluating the effects of SFAS No. 144 and are preparing a plan for implementation. OUTLOOK Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 are expected to decline 8 to 15 percent, with diluted earnings per share between $0.30 and $0.40, excluding special charges. The timing of economic improvement remains uncertain. However, based on current assessments, we are forecasting diluted earnings per share for the year to range from $2.30 to $2.60, excluding special charges. Cash flow for the year should still attain the ongoing long-term range of $100 million to $150 million. In November 2001, we announced a restructuring program related to the closure of three manufacturing locations. See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
