Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 26, 2005, Kennametal issued a press release announcing financial results for its second quarter ended December 31, 2004.

The press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including gross profit, operating expense, operating income, other (income) / expense, net income and diluted earnings per share in each case excluding special items. The special items include: restructuring charges, Widia integration costs, pension curtailment, gain on Toshiba investment, and charges related to a note receivable. Kennametal management excludes these items in measuring and compensating internal performance to more easily compare the Company’s financial performance period to period. We believe investors should have available the same information that management uses to measure and compensate performance. Kennametal management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about the results of operations of the Company for the current, past and future periods.

In addition to the items above, the press release also contains free operating cash flow, debt to capital, and adjusted return on invested capital as defined below:

Free Operating Cash Flow

Free operating cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as cash provided by operations (in accordance with GAAP) less capital expenditures plus proceeds from disposals of fixed assets. Free operating cash flow is considered 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.

Debt to Capital

Debt to equity in accordance with GAAP is defined as total debt divided by shareowners’ equity. 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. Management believes that these financial measures provide additional insight into the underlying capital structuring and performance of the Company.

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as the previous 12 months net income, adjusted for interest expense and special items, divided by the sum of the previous 12 months average balances of debt, securitized accounts receivable, minority interest and shareowners’ equity. Management believes that this financial measure provides additional insight into the underlying capital structuring and performance 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 teleconference we may use various other non-GAAP financial measures to describe the underlying operating results. Accordingly, we have compiled below certain reconciliations as required by Regulation G.

Primary Working Capital

Primary working capital is a non-GAAP presentation 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 is used as such for internal performance measurement.

EBIT

EBIT is an acronym for Earnings Before Interest and Taxes and is not a calculation in accordance with GAAP. 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 liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Kennametal will adjust EBIT for restructuring charges, interest income, and other items.

EBITDA

EBITDA is an acronym for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and is not a calculation in accordance with GAAP. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. However, we believe that EBITDA is widely used as a measure of operating performance and we believe EBITDA 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 liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Kennametal will adjust EBITDA for restructuring charges, interest income, and other items.

Adjusted Sales

Kennametal adjusted sales as reported under GAAP for specific items including acquisitions and foreign currency translation. Management believes that adjusting the sales as reported under GAAP provides additional insight into the underlying operations. Management uses this information in reviewing operating performance and in the determination of compensation.

Adjusted Gross Profit

Kennametal adjusted gross profit as recorded under GAAP for specific items including Widia integration and restructuring charges. Management believes that the adjusted gross profit information is an important indicator of the Company’s underlying operating performance.

Operating Expense Reconciliation

Kennametal adjusted operating expense as reported under GAAP for Widia integration costs and foreign exchange. Management believes that the adjusted operating expense provides additional insight into the underlying operations. Management uses this information in reviewing operating performance and in the determination of compensation.
