LATROBE, Pa., April 25, 2007 — Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) today reported third quarter fiscal 2007 EPS of $1.32. This represents an increase of 61 percent from the prior year quarter reported EPS of $0.82 and a 13 percent increase compared with prior year adjusted EPS of $1.17.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, reported EPS increased 22 percent to $2.86 compared with prior year reported EPS of $2.34. Adjusted EPS for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 increased 11 percent to $2.99 compared with prior year adjusted EPS of $2.69.

Carlos M. Cardoso, Kennametal’s President and Chief Executive Officer said, “I am very pleased with our company’s performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. We delivered solid organic sales growth as well as record earnings per share and return on invested capital, in spite of a challenging economic environment in North America. These strong results are on top of tough comparisons from the prior year.”

Cardoso added, “This performance is evidence of the strength of our strategy, which we execute by applying the principles of the Kennametal Value Business System, our management operating system. As we move forward, we continue to leverage our global infrastructure to drive additional growth. We remain committed to growing the top line of both our Metalworking and Advanced Materials businesses, accelerating our margin expansion opportunities and generating strong cash flow.”

Reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the attached tables.

Highlights of Fiscal 2007 Third Quarter

• Sales for the quarter were $616 million, compared with $609 million in the same quarter last year. Sales grew 7 percent on an organic basis and also benefited 3 percent from favorable foreign currency effects. This growth was mostly offset by the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of 9 percent, primarily the divestiture of J&L Industrial Supply (J&L). J&L sales were $74 million in the March quarter last year.

• Income from continuing operations was $52 million, compared with $38 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 38 percent despite the J&L divestiture. J&L contributed $9 million in operating income in the March quarter last year. The current year quarter results benefited from strong organic sales growth and an ongoing reduction in operating expenses. Additionally, the March quarter results benefited from lower interest expense and lower securitization fees.

• During the March quarter, Kennametal completed its strategic analysis and plan for the Widia brand. As a key element of the company’s channel and brand strategy, the company will leverage the strength of the Widia brand to accelerate growth in the distribution market. This analysis resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $6 million related to the trademark intangible asset.

• The effective tax rate for the March quarter was 26 percent, compared with 34 percent in the prior year quarter. The current year rate benefited from increased earnings from the company’s pan-European business strategy. In addition, the prior year rate was unfavorably impacted by special charges that did not provide a tax benefit.

• Reported EPS increased 61 percent to $1.32, compared with prior year quarter reported EPS of $0.82. Reported EPS increased 13 percent, compared with prior year quarter adjusted EPS of $1.17. A reconciliation follows:

Earnings Per Diluted Share Reconciliation
Third Quarter FY 2007			Third Quarter FY 2006
Reported EPS	$	1.32	Reported EPS	$	0.82
No special items			Loss on divestiture of Presto		0.20
			CPG goodwill impairment charge		0.12
			J&L transaction-related charges		0.03
	$	1.32	Adjusted EPS	$	1.17

• Cash flow from operating activities was $113 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, compared with $117 million in the prior year period. Free operating cash flow was $47 million for the current year period, compared with $70 million in the prior year period. Included in the current year period free operating cash flow were income tax payments of $86 million, primarily due to tax payments related to the gain on the sale of J&L and cash repatriated in 2006 under the American Jobs Creation Act. Adjusted free operating cash flow, excluding the effects of these income tax payments, was $133 million versus $69 million in the prior year period.

• Adjusted return on invested capital (ROIC) increased 30 basis points to 11.0 percent, a record March quarter, from 10.7 percent in the prior year.

Highlights of First Nine Months of Fiscal 2007

• Sales of $1.7 billion were unchanged with the same period last year. Sales grew 6 percent on an organic basis and 3 percent due to favorable foreign currency effects. This growth was mostly offset by the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of 8 percent, primarily the J&L divestiture. J&L sales were $205 million in the prior year period.

• Income from continuing operations was $115 million, compared with $97 million in the prior year period, an increase of 19 percent despite the J&L divestiture. J&L contributed $23 million in operating income in the prior year period. The current year period results benefited from strong organic sales growth and an ongoing reduction in operating expenses. Amortization expense increased $2 million due to recent acquisitions. Additionally, the current period results benefited from lower interest expense and lower securitization fees.

• During the March quarter, Kennametal completed its strategic analysis and plan for the Widia brand which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $6 million as described above.

• The first nine months of fiscal 2007 also reflected a lower effective tax rate of 29 percent compared with the prior year period of 33 percent. The current year rate benefited from increased earnings from the company’s pan-European business strategy and the extension of the research, development and experimental tax credit. In addition, the prior year rate was unfavorably impacted by special charges that did not provide a tax benefit.

• Reported EPS of $2.86 increased 22 percent compared with prior year reported EPS of $2.34. Adjusted EPS of $2.99 increased 11 percent compared with prior year adjusted EPS of $2.69. A reconciliation follows:

Earnings Per Diluted Share Reconciliation

Business Segment Highlights for the Fiscal 2007 Third Quarter

Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) continued to deliver top-line growth in the third quarter, led by year-over-year expansion in the distribution, general engineering and machine tool markets and the effect of an acquisition. The European market continued to be favorable. Asia Pacific and India delivered double-digit growth, while the North American market showed flat-to-modest growth.

In the March quarter, MSSG sales were up 7 percent on an organic basis. Europe sales increased 8 percent. Asia Pacific and India sales grew by 22 percent and 25 percent, respectively. North America sales increased 2 percent.

MSSG operating income was up 23 percent and the operating margin of 15 percent increased over the same period last year. The third quarter results benefited from top-line growth and ongoing cost containment, and included a non-cash impairment charge of $6 million. The prior year results included divestiture-related charges of $8 million.

Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG) continued to deliver top-line growth in the March quarter, driven by favorable international market conditions and the effect of acquisitions. Strong growth in the energy and mining markets continued to contribute to AMSG’s results.

AMSG sales grew 6 percent on an organic basis. Energy product sales were up 18 percent, mining and construction product sales were higher by 4 percent and engineered product sales increased 4 percent.

AMSG operating income and margin were lower than the prior year due primarily to higher raw material costs in the current quarter, partially offset by the effects of acquisitions and new product introductions.

Outlook

Worldwide market conditions support Kennametal’s expectations of continued top-line growth during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. Based on global economic indicators, the company believes that the moderation in the North American market will persist in the near term. The company also believes that the European market will continue to be favorable, and that business conditions will continue to be strong in developing economies. While there remain some uncertainties and risks related to the macro-economic environment, fundamental drivers for global demand appear to be stable.

The company anticipates that many of its end markets will continue to operate at favorable levels for the remainder of the fiscal year, with moderating growth rates for some regions and market sectors. This supports the company’s projections of 6 to 7 percent organic sales growth for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. This would provide organic revenue growth in the 6 to 7 percent range for fiscal 2007, which would extend Kennametal’s track record of consistently outpacing worldwide industrial production rates by two to three times.

The company expects fourth quarter 2007 EPS to be in the range of $1.45 to $1.50. The company’s guidance for adjusted EPS for the full fiscal year is in the range of $4.45 to $4.50. On a comparable basis, the fiscal 2007 guidance midpoint represents a 31 percent growth rate, a substantial increase over prior year adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $3.41.

Kennametal expects to achieve its goal of 12 percent EBIT margin, and ROIC is on track for the projected 11 to 12 percent range for fiscal year 2007.

Kennametal anticipates reported cash flow from operations of approximately $190 million to $200 million for fiscal 2007. Based on anticipated capital expenditures of $90 million, the company expects to generate between $100 million to $110 million of free operating cash flow for fiscal 2007. Included in this amount are income tax payments of $86 million, as mentioned above. Adjusted free operating cash flow is expected to be approximately $185 million to $195 million.

Dividend Declared

Kennametal announced today that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share. The dividend is payable May 22, 2007 to shareowners of record as of the close of business on May 7, 2007.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Continued)

In addition to reported results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the following financial highlight tables also include, where appropriate, a reconciliation of gross profit, operating expense, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income and diluted earnings per share (which are GAAP financial measures), in each case excluding special items, as well as adjusted free operating cash flow and adjusted return on invested capital (which are non-GAAP financial measures), to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that the investor 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 measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

There were no special items for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
