                   ------------------------------------------

            - Sales up 15% on acquisitions
            - Reported loss per diluted share of $0.14, per guidance
            - Another strong quarter of cash flow

LATROBE, Pa., July 30, 2003 - Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) today reported a
fiscal 2003 fourth quarter loss of $0.14 per diluted share compared with
earnings of $0.48 per diluted share last year. Excluding special items in each
period, diluted earnings per share were $0.45 for the quarter, at the high end
of guidance, against last year's earnings per share of $0.67. Sales of $463.8
million were 15 percent above prior year, driven by the Widia acquisition. Free
operating cash flow was $55 million versus $43 million in fiscal 2002.

                   Earnings Per Share Excluding Special Items

           Company Guidance (07/09/03)                 $0.43 to $0.45

           Analyst Estimate Range (07/29/03)           $0.38 to $0.44

           Earnings, Excluding Special Items                 $0.45

For the total fiscal year, diluted earnings per share were $0.51, compared
against last year's loss per share of $6.70. Excluding special items in each
period, diluted earnings per share were $1.41 against last year's earnings per
share of $1.95. The prior year included a non-cash impairment charge associated
with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Sales
of $1,759 million grew 11 percent, and free operating cash flow was $136
million.

Kennametal Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Markos I.
Tambakeras, said, "We are pleased to deliver a credible performance in fiscal
2003, in the context of a manufacturing recession that persisted in North
America, for the third year, and deepened in Europe. Our continuing disciplined
management of the business strengthened the foundation that will enhance our
operating leverage as global manufacturing economies improve."

Tambakeras continued, "We substantially improved our competitiveness across all
fronts. The delivery of another strong year of free operating cash flow, in
excess of $130 million despite $25 million spent on the Widia integration, was
particularly gratifying. Product innovation was unabated, and we confirmed our
technological leadership by attaining our target of 40 percent of sales from new
products. At the same time, we delivered against very aggressive objectives for
the Widia acquisition. In the face of a sustained manufacturing recession, I
remain particularly impressed by the resilience and resourcefulness of our
employees. "

Tambakeras further noted that Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) recently
reviewed and rated Kennametal's corporate governance profile and, according to
ISS, Kennametal outperformed 96% of the companies in the S&P 400 and 98% of the
companies in the Capital Goods group.

HIGHLIGHTS

FOURTH QUARTER - FY03
- ---------------------
- -    Sales of $463.8 million were 15 percent above last year's $402.9 million.
     Sales growth was driven by a 13 percent positive benefit from acquisitions.

- -    Reported net loss was $4.9 million against net income of $15.4 million in
     the same quarter last year. Excluding special items, net income was $15.9
     million for the quarter; a 26 percent decrease compared to net income of
     $21.4 million last year including the impact of Widia dilution and reduced
     pension income.

- -    The current quarter included net special charges of $20.8 million, or $0.59
     per diluted share, primarily associated with the previously announced Widia
     integration efforts and Electronics' impairment charge. Prior-year results
     included net special charges of $6.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share,
     associated with the completion of previously announced restructurings and
     the divestiture of Strong Tool.

- -    Decreased pension income reduced earnings per diluted share by $0.05 for
     the quarter versus the prior year. Pretax income for the quarter was
     reduced by $2.6 million (non-cash) compared to the same period in fiscal
     2002 due to the effect of a decrease in the expected rate of return on
     Kennametal's pension fund assets, coupled with lower discount rates related
     to pension liabilities.

- -    At year-end, Kennametal's pension plan had an unfunded obligation of $3.7
     million that resulted in a $35.2 million charge, net of tax, to equity
     under SFAS No. 87. The company is adequately funded from an ERISA
     perspective, and still does not anticipate any cash funding requirements
     during fiscal 2004.

- -    Free operating cash flow remained strong at $55.0 million, versus $43.5
     million in the same period last year.

                                      -3-




- -    Total debt was $526 million, up $114 million from June 2002, but down $91
     million from the closing of the Widia acquisition in the September quarter.

FISCAL 2003 VERSUS 2002
- -----------------------

- -    Sales for the 12 months ending June 30, 2003 of $1,759 million grew 11
     percent. Net acquisitions and divestitures contributed growth of 11
     percent.

- -    Reported net income was $18.1 million against a net loss of $211.9 million
     in the prior year. Excluding special items, net income was $49.9 million, a
     decrease of 19 percent compared to $61.6 million last year.

- -    Special charges of $31.7 million, or $0.90 per share, were included in the
     year's results related primarily to the Widia integration and the
     previously announced Electronics' impairment charge. Prior-year results
     included special charges of $273.5 million, or $8.65 per share, related
     primarily to the SFAS No. 142 impairment charge of $250.4 million. A chart
     detailing special charges for both years is attached.

- -    Free operating cash flow remained strong at $136 million, versus $131
     million for the prior year.

OUTLOOK
- -------
Global economic signals remain mixed at the beginning of the current quarter.
The sustainability of the modest sales improvement in June is unclear, as
near-term visibility remains limited. However, the macroeconomic outlook beyond
the next three to six months is cautiously more positive, and continues to
suggest that a North American recovery will precede any improvement in Europe.

Tambakeras said, "In fiscal 2004, we expect to accelerate the realization of
benefits from our efforts. As projected, the Widia acquisition is anticipated to
become accretive to earnings in the first quarter. Our competitive repositioning
of the company will gain traction even with a modest market improvement."

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 are expected to grow 9 to 11 percent
year-over-year. Reported diluted earnings per share are expected to be $0.20 to
$0.27 per share. This includes an estimate for special charges associated with
the completion of the Widia integration of approximately $0.08 to $0.10 per
share, consistent with previously announced integration assumption. Excluding
these charges, diluted earnings per share are forecasted to range from $0.30 to
$0.35 per share.

For the full year, sales are expected to grow 4 to 6 percent year-over-year.
Reported diluted earnings per share are expected to be $1.70 to $2.10 per share.
This includes an estimate for special charges associated with the completion of
the Widia integration approximately $0.10 to $0.20 per share.  Excluding these
charges, diluted earnings per share are forecasted to



                                    - more -



                                      -4-


range from $1.90 to $2.20 per share. The earnings forecast includes $0.15 to
$0.20 of accretion from Widia, better than the $0.10 to $0.15 per share
originally estimated. An incremental increase in pension expense is lowering
diluted EPS for the fiscal year by approximately $0.30 per share. In addition,
combining information obtained from the valuation of acquired Widia assets with
further review and analysis, management has determined that the current useful
lives of Kennametal's assets should be extended to more appropriately match the
life of those assets. The resulting depreciation expense reduction is expected
to be approximately $0.30.

Kennametal expects to generate between $100 and $125 million of free operating
cash flow for the year.

Kennametal advises shareholders to note monthly order trends, for which the
company makes a disclosure ten business days after the conclusion of each month.

(4)      For the quarter and twelve months ended June 30, 2003, these amounts
         include $0.5 million for recognition of a portion of deferred financing
         fees due to the company reducing its borrowing capacity under its U.S.
         credit facility. For the quarter and twelve months ended June 30, 2002,
         these amounts include $0.3 million related to recognition of the
         remaining unamortized balance of deferred financing fees from the
         company's U.S. credit facilities that were replaced with a new 3-year
         facility.

(5)      For the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, these amounts include
         charges of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for fees
         incurred in connection with the company's accounts receivable
         securitization program. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2003 and
         2002, these amounts include similar charges of $1.9 million and $2.5
         million, respectively. For the quarter and twelve months ended June 30,
         2002, these amounts include a charge of $3.5 million related to the
         divestiture of Strong Tool Company.

(6)      For the quarter and twelve months ended June 30, 2003, the effective
         tax rate was (329.6%) and 41.7%, respectively. These amounts reflect
         that a portion of the Electronics impairment could not be tax effected,
         otherwise, the tax rate for the quarter and twelve month period would
         have been 30%.

(7)      For the twelve months ended June 30, 2002, this amount represents a
         non-cash charge for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
