**Kennametal Announces Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Results** 

• Sales of $593 million increased 22 percent and 19 percent on a reported and organic basis, respectively

• Operating income of $79 million and adjusted operating income of $82 million, up 80 percent and 64 percent, respectively

• Earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.75 and adjusted EPS of $0.77, up 85 percent and 65 percent, respectively

• Company raises annual sales and adjusted EPS Outlook

PITTSBURGH, (May 6, 2026) – Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) (the "Company") today reported results for its fiscal 2026 third quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"Our third quarter results exceeded the high end of our sales and adjusted EPS Outlook, primarily due to the unprecedented rise in tungsten pricing and stronger volume," said Sanjay Chowbey, President and CEO.

Chowbey added: "Our team is advancing volume momentum from improving end markets, pursuing share gains through growth initiatives, and executing on opportunities in a dynamic tungsten market. Additionally, we are actively managing our tungsten supply chain and executing our strategy to drive long-term shareholder value."

**<u>Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Financial Highlights</u>**

Sales of $593 million increased 22 percent from $486 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting organic sales growth of 19 percent and a favorable currency exchange effect of 5 percent, partially offset by a divestiture effect of 2 percent.

Operating income was $79 million, or 13.4 percent margin, compared to $44 million, or 9.1 percent margin, in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was driven by the favorable timing of pricing compared to raw material costs of approximately $39 million within the Infrastructure segment, pricing and tariff surcharges within the Metal Cutting segment, higher sales and production volumes, incremental year-over-year restructuring savings of approximately $7 million, favorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $4 million and a decrease in restructuring and related charges of approximately $3 million. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation costs, tariffs and general inflation, the net effect of approximately $8 million from a normalized advanced manufacturing production credit under the Inflation Reduction Act in the current quarter within the Infrastructure segment, and higher raw material costs in the Metal Cutting segment. Adjusted operating income was $82 million, or 13.8 percent margin, in the current quarter, compared to $50 million, or 10.3 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.

------

Year-to-date net cash flow from operating activities was $70 million compared to $130 million in the prior year period. The change in net cash flow from operating activities was driven primarily by working capital changes including an increase in inventory largely due to the unprecedented rise in tungsten prices, partially offset by higher net income in the current year period. Year-to-date free operating cash flow (FOCF) was $18 million compared to $63 million in the prior year period. The decrease in FOCF was driven primarily by working capital changes including an increase in inventory, partially offset by higher net income and lower net capital expenditures in the current year period.

**<u>Outlook</u>**

The Company's expectations for sales and adjusted EPS for the full fiscal year 2026 are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sales expected to be $2.33 - $2.35 billion

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EPS is expected to be $3.75 - $4.00

The Company will provide more details regarding its Outlook during its quarterly earnings conference call.

**<u>Segment Results</u>**

**Metal Cutting** sales of $358 million increased 18 percent from $304 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting organic sales growth of 12 percent and a favorable currency exchange effect of 6 percent. Operating income was $38 million, or 10.7 percent margin, compared to $25 million, or 8.2 percent margin, in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was driven by pricing and tariff surcharges, higher sales and production volumes, incremental year-over-year restructuring savings of approximately $5 million, favorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $3 million and a decrease in restructuring and related charges of approximately $2 million. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation costs, tariffs and general inflation and higher raw material costs. Adjusted operating income was $40 million, or 11.2 percent margin, in the current quarter, compared to $29 million, or 9.6 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.

**Infrastructure** sales of $235 million increased 29 percent from $182 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting organic sales growth of 30 percent and a favorable currency exchange effect of 4 percent, partially offset by a divestiture effect of 5 percent. Operating income was $42 million, or 18.1 percent margin, compared to $19 million, or 10.7 percent margin, in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was driven by the favorable timing of pricing compared to raw material costs of approximately $39 million and incremental year-over-year restructuring savings of approximately $2 million. These factors were partially offset by the net effect of approximately $8 million from a normalized advanced manufacturing production credit under the Inflation Reduction Act in the current quarter, higher compensation costs and general inflation. Adjusted operating income was $43 million, or 18.3 percent margin, in the current quarter, compared to $21 million, or 11.5 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.

**<u>Dividend Declared</u>**

Kennametal announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend is payable on May 26, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 12, 2026.

**<u>Conference Call and Webcast</u>**

The Company will host a conference call to discuss its third quarter fiscal 2026 results on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The conference call will be broadcast via real-time audio on Kennametal's investor relations website at https://investors.kennametal.com/ - click "Event" (located in the blue Quarterly Earnings block).

**NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS (UNAUDITED)**

In addition to reported results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the following financial highlight tables include, where appropriate, a reconciliation of adjusted results including: operating income and margin; net income attributable to Kennametal; diluted EPS; Metal Cutting operating income and margin; Infrastructure operating income and margin; FOCF; and consolidated and segment organic sales growth (all of which are non-GAAP financial measures), to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 include restructuring and related charges and differences in projected annual tax rates. Adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 include restructuring and related charges and differences in projected annual tax rates. For those adjustments that are presented 'net of tax', the tax effect of the adjustment can be derived by calculating the difference between the pre-tax and the post-tax adjustments presented. The tax effect on adjustments is calculated by preparing an overall tax calculation including the adjustments and then a tax calculation excluding the adjustments. The difference between these calculations results in the tax impact of the adjustments.

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 financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures used by management may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliations and descriptions of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the disclosures below.

Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the following forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for the full fiscal year of 2026 have not been provided, including but not limited to, adjusted EPS. The most comparable GAAP financial measure is diluted EPS. Because the non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are subject to uncertainty and variability as they are dependent on many factors - including, but not limited to, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, impacts from potential acquisitions or divestitures, gains or losses on the potential sale of businesses or other assets, restructuring costs, asset impairment charges, gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt, the tax impact of the items above and the impact of tax law changes or other tax matters - reconciliations to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

**Free Operating Cash Flow (FOCF)**

FOCF is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as net cash flow provided by operating activities (which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) less capital expenditures plus proceeds from disposals of fixed assets. Management considers FOCF to be an important indicator of the Company'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.

**Organic Sales Growth**

Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures, business days and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. Management believes this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Management reports organic sales growth at the consolidated and segment levels.

<sup>(3)</sup> Foreign currency exchange effect is calculated by dividing the difference between current period sales and current period sales at prior period foreign exchange rates by prior period sales.

<sup>(4)</sup> Business days effect is calculated by dividing the year-over-year change in weighted average working days (based on mix of sales by country) by prior period weighted average working days.

<sup>(5)</sup> Divestiture effect is calculated by dividing prior period sales attributable to divested businesses by prior period sales.
