Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August2, 2017, Kennametal Inc. (Kennametal or the Company) issued an earnings announcement for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June30, 2017.

The press release contains certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. The following GAAP financial measures have been presented on an adjusted basis: sales, gross profit and margin, operating expense, operating expense as a percentage of sales, operating income (loss) and margin, effective tax rate, net income (loss), earnings per diluted share (EPS) and loss per diluted share (LPS), Industrial operating income and margin, Widia operating (loss) income and margin and Infrastructure operating income (loss) and margin. Adjustments for thethree months endedJune30, 2017include restructuring and related charges. Adjustments for thethree months endedJune30, 2016include: (1) restructuring and related charges, (2) tax impact of prior impairment charges, (3) fixed asset disposal charges, (4) loss on divestiture and (5) U.S. deferred tax valuation allowance. Adjustments for thetwelve months endedJune30, 2017include: (1) restructuring and related charges and (2) Australia deferred tax valuation allowance. Adjustments for thetwelvemonths endedJune30, 2016include: (1) restructuring and related charges, (2) goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, (3) loss on divestiture and related charges, (4) fixed asset disposal charges, (5) operations of divested businesses and (6) U.S. deferred tax valuation allowance. Management adjusts for these items in measuring and compensating internal performance and to more readily compare the Company’s financial performance period-to-period. The press release also contains free operating cash flow (FOCF) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and margin, which are non-GAAP measures and are defined below.

Management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about the results of operations of the Company for the current and past periods. Management believes that investors 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.

Free Operating Cash Flow (FOCF)

FOCF is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as cash provided by operations (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) less capital expenditures plus proceeds from disposals of fixed assets. Management considers FOCF to be an important indicator of Kennametal’s cash generating capability because it better represents cash generated from operations that can be used for dividends, debt repayment, strategic initiatives (such as acquisitions) and other investing and financing activities.

EBITDA

EBITDAare a non-GAAP financial measure and are defined as net income attributable to Kennametal (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure), with interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization added back. However, we believe that EBITDA are widely used as a measure of operating performance and are 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. Management uses this information in reviewing operating performance.

Additionally, during our quarterly earnings teleconference we may use various non-GAAP financial measures to describe the underlying operating results. Accordingly, we have compiled below certain reconciliations as required by Regulation G. 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.

Primary Working Capital

Primary working capital is a non-GAAP financial measure 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 segment level and is used as such for internal performance measurement.
