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 the Company's 1996 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 1996 has been derived from the audited balance sheet
included in the Company's 1996 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,
1996 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 55 percent of total inventories at
December 31, 1996. 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 (in thousands):
December 31, June 30,
1996 1996
------------ ---------
Finished goods $175,509 $169,108
Work in process and powder blends 53,784 59,326
Raw materials and supplies 20,557 16,514
-------- --------
Inventory at current cost 249,850 244,948
Less LIFO valuation (40,210) (40,014)
-------- --------
Total inventories $209,640 $204,934
======== ========
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, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
The Company maintains a Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S)
Department to facilitate compliance with 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. Effective July 1, 1996, the company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of." The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have an impact on the
financial statements, as the statement is consistent with existing company
policy.
6. During the year, the company acquired three companies with annual sales
totaling approximately $22 million for a total consideration of
approximately $19 million. The acquisitions were accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The consolidated financial statements
include the operating results of each business from the date of
acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented
because the effects of these acquisitions were not significant.
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, 1996 and December 31, 1996. The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 2.0 as of December 31, 1996 and June 30,
1996. The debt to capital ratio (i.e., total debt divided by the sum of total
debt and shareholders' equity) was 23 percent as of December 31, 1996 and
June 30, 1996.
On January 31, 1997, the company announced the adoption of a program to
repurchase from time to time up to a total of 1.6 million shares of its
outstanding capital stock. The repurchases may be made in the open market or
in negotiated or other permissible transactions.
Capital expenditures are estimated to be $70-80 million in fiscal year 1997.
Expenditures are being made to construct a new corporate headquarters and a
manufacturing facility in China, to acquire additional client-server
information systems and to 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, 1996, consolidated sales were $273
million, up 6 percent from $259 million in the same quarter last year. Net
income was $14.6 million, or $0.54 per share, as compared with net income of
$13.9 million, or $0.52 per share in the same quarter last year.
During the six-month period ended December 31, 1996, consolidated sales were
$549 million, up 7 percent from $514 million last year. Net income was $29.8
million, or $1.11 per share, compared to $27.5 million, or $1.03 per share
last year.
For the quarter ended December 31, 1996, sales increased in all markets with
the exception of the Europe Metalworking market. The Industrial Supply market
accounted for the largest gain as a result of the continued growth of new
showrooms and mail order sales through J&L Industrial Supply and from new Full
Service Supply programs. Earnings benefited from higher sales of traditional
metalcutting products and productivity improvements associated with the
focused factory initiative. These benefits were offset in part by slightly
lower production levels.
The following table presents the Company's sales by market and geographic area
(in thousands):

METALWORKING MARKETS
- --------------------
During the December 1996 quarter, sales of traditional metalcutting products
sold through all sales channels in North America, including sales through the
Industrial Supply market, increased 6 percent due to improved economic
conditions in the United States and due to continued emphasis on milling and
drilling products. Sales, as reflected in the North America Metalworking
market, increased 2 percent during the quarter.
Sales in the Europe Metalworking market decreased 9 percent. Demand for
metalworking products continued to be slow due to weak economic conditions in
Europe, principally in Germany. Sales grew at a faster pace in the United
Kingdom and France. Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign currency
translation effects, sales in the Europe Metalworking market decreased
4 percent.
In the Asia-Pacific Metalworking market, sales rose 12 percent, excluding the
consolidation of a majority-owned subsidiary in China, as a result of
increased demand, although sales were impacted by soft economic conditions in
the ASEAN region and Korea. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency
translation effects, sales in the Asia-Pacific Metalworking market increased
16 percent.
For the six-month period, sales in the North America Metalworking market
increased 3 percent because of slightly improved economic conditions in the
United States and due to continued emphasis on milling and drilling products.
In the Europe Metalworking market, sales decreased 8 percent because of weak
economic conditions in Europe, primarily Germany and the impact of unfavorable
foreign currency translation effects. In the Asia-Pacific Metalworking
market, sales increased 25 percent because of increased demand and the impact
of a newly-consolidated subsidiary in China.
INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY MARKET
- ------------------------
During the December 1996 quarter, sales in the Industrial Supply market
increased 25 percent as a result of increased sales through mail order and
Full Service Supply programs. The Industrial Supply market now represents
27 percent of total sales. Sales increased because of new and existing Full
Service Supply programs with large customers, innovative marketing programs
and the continuing successful implementation of the geographic expansion
strategy at J&L Industrial Supply. During the second quarter, J&L opened
three locations in the United States and now operates 22 locations in the
United States and one location in the United Kingdom.
For the six-month period, sales in the Industrial Supply market increased
27 percent due to innovative marketing programs and the geographic expansion
program at J&L, and due to new and existing Full Service Supply programs with
large customers.
MINING AND CONSTRUCTION MARKET
- ------------------------------
During the December 1996 quarter, sales in the Mining and Construction market
increased 7 percent from the previous year as a result of a recent acquisition
and from increased domestic demand for mining tools. Excluding the effects of
the acquisition, international sales of highway construction tools were flat
as a result of weak economic conditions, primarily in Europe.
For the six-month period, sales of mining and construction tools increased
6 percent from the prior year primarily because of a recent acquisition and
increased sales of domestic mining tools.
GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
- -------------------
As a percentage of sales, gross profit margin for the December 1996 quarter
was 41.5 percent compared to 41.6 percent last year. The gross profit margin
declined slightly as a result of a less favorable sales mix and lower
production volumes. This decrease was partially offset by productivity
improvements related to the Focused Factory initiative.
For the six-month period, the gross profit margin was 41.6 percent, compared
with 41.7 percent last year. The gross profit margin declined slightly as a
result of a less favorable sales mix and reduced manufacturing efficiencies
due to lower production volumes. This decline was partially offset by
productivity improvements related to the Focused Factory initiative.
OPERATING EXPENSES
- ------------------
For the quarter ended December 31, 1996, operating expenses as a percentage of
sales were 31.5 percent, unchanged from the prior year. Operating expenses
increased 6 percent primarily because of higher research and development
costs, costs necessary to support new Full Service Supply programs, marketing
and branch expansion at J&L Industrial Supply and higher costs associated with
acquisitions.
For the six-month period, operating expenses as a percentage of sales were
31.6 percent compared to 31.4 percent last year. Operating expenses increased
primarily because of higher research and development costs, higher costs to
support new Full Service Supply programs, marketing and branch program
expansion at J&L Industrial Supply and higher costs associated with
acquisitions.
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
The effective tax rate for the December 1996 quarter was 39 percent compared
to an effective tax rate of 41 percent in the prior year. The reduction in
the effective tax rate resulted from certain tax benefits derived from
international operations.
For the six-month period, the effective tax rate was also 39 percent compared
to 41 percent in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate for
the six-month period is the result of additional tax benefits derived from
international operations.
OUTLOOK
- -------
In looking to the third quarter ending March 31, 1997, management expects
consolidated sales to increase over the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Sales
to the Metalworking markets should benefit from stable economic conditions in
the United States. Sales in the Europe Metalworking market are expected to
remain weak. Sales demand in the Asia-Pacific Metalworking market is expected
to be strong.
Sales in the Industrial Supply market should benefit from the expansion of
locations, catalog sales and new Full Service Supply programs. Sales in the
Mining and Construction market should increase from additional domestic
demand.
This Form 10-Q, including the prior two paragraphs, contains "forward-looking
statements" as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Actual results can differ from those in the forward-looking statements to the
extent that the anticipated economic conditions in the United States, Europe
and Asia-Pacific are not sustained.
