ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview
--------

Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943. Kennametal Inc. and
subsidiaries ("Kennametal" or the "company") manufacture, purchase and
distribute a broad range of tools, tooling systems, supplies and services for
the metalworking, mining and highway construction industries. Kennametal
specializes in developing and manufacturing metalcutting tools and wear
resistant parts using a specialized type of powder metallurgy. Kennametal's
metalcutting tools are made of cemented carbides, ceramics, cermets and other
hard materials. The company manufactures a complete line of toolholders and
toolholding systems by machining and fabricating steel bars and other metal
alloys. Kennametal's mining and construction cutting tools are tipped with
cemented carbide and are used for underground coal mining and highway
construction, repair and maintenance. Metallurgical products consist of
powders made from ore concentrates, compounds and secondary materials.

Business Segment and Product Classes
------------------------------------

The company operates predominantly as a tooling supplier specializing in
powder metallurgy, which represents a single business segment. While many of
the company's products are similar in composition, sales are classified into
three major categories: metalworking products, mining and construction
products and metallurgical products. The company's sales by product class are
presented on page 23 of the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders, and such
information is incorporated herein by reference. Additional information about
the company's operations by geographic area is presented on page 31 of the
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders, and such information is incorporated
herein by reference.

Metalworking Products
---------------------

Kennametal markets, manufactures and distributes a full line of products and
services for the metalworking industry. The company provides metalcutting
tools, abrasives, precision measuring devices, power tools, hand tools and
machine tool accessories to manufacturing companies in a wide range of
industries.

A Kennametal tooling system usually consists of a steel toolholder and an
indexable cutting tool called an insert. During a metalworking operation, the
toolholder is positioned in a machine tool which provides the turning power.
While the workpiece or toolholder is rapidly rotating, the cutting tool insert
contacts the workpiece and cuts or shapes the workpiece. The cutting tool
insert is consumed during use and must be replaced periodically. Metalcutting
operations include turning, boring, threading, grooving, milling and drilling.
The company also makes wear resistant parts for use in abrasive environments
and specialty applications.

Mining and Construction Products
--------------------------------

Mining and construction cutting tools are fabricated from steel parts and
tipped with cemented carbide. Mining tools, used primarily in the coal
industry, include longwall shearer and continuous miner drums, blocks, bits,
pinning rods, augers and a wide range of mining tool accessories. The company
also supplies compacts for mining, quarrying, water well drilling and oil and
gas exploration.

Construction cutting tools include carbide-tipped bits for ditching, trenching
and road planing; grader blades for site preparation and routine roadbed
control and snowplow blades and shoes for winter road plowing.

Metallurgical Products
----------------------

The company makes proprietary metallurgical powders for use as a basic
material in many of its metalworking, mining and construction products. In
addition, the company produces a variety of metallurgical powders and related
materials for specialized markets. These products include intermediate
carbide powders, hardfacing materials and matrix powders which are sold to
manufacturers of cemented carbide products, oil and gas drilling equipment and
diamond drill bits.

Recent Acquisition
-------------------

In August 1993, the company acquired an 81 percent interest in Hertel AG
("Hertel") for $43 million in cash and $55 million of assumed debt. Hertel,
based in Fuerth, Germany, is a manufacturer and marketer of cemented carbide
tools and tooling systems which are similar to the metalcutting tools and
tooling systems produced by the company. The acquisition of Hertel has not
materially changed the product lines offered by the company. While the
company's primary market is the United States, Hertel's primary market is
Germany and western Europe. The acquisition of Hertel significantly increased
the company's market share in these markets. Hertel had consolidated sales of
approximately $201 million for the year ended December 31, 1992.

Since January 1, 1994, the company purchased additional shares of Hertel for
$12 million, thereby increasing the company's ownership interest to 91 percent
at June 30, 1995.

International Operations
------------------------

The company's principal international operations are conducted in western
Europe and Canada. In addition, the company has joint ventures in Japan,
India and Italy, sales offices and sales agents in Asia-Pacific and sales
agents and distributors in eastern Europe and other areas of the world. The
company's international operations are subject to the usual risks of doing
business in those countries, including currency fluctuations and changes in
social, political and economic environments. In management's opinion, the
company's business is not materially dependent upon any one international
location involving significant risk.

The company's international sales are presented on page 23 of the 1995 Annual
Report to Shareholders, and such information is incorporated herein by
reference. Information pertaining to the effects of foreign currency
fluctuations is contained under the caption "Foreign Currency Translation" in
the notes to the consolidated financial statements on page 24 of the 1995
Annual Report to Shareholders, and such information is incorporated herein by
reference.

Marketing and Distribution
--------------------------

The company's products are sold through three distinct channels: direct
sales, full-service supply and mail order catalogs. The company's
manufactured products are sold to end-users primarily through a direct sales
force. Service engineers and technicians directly assist customers with
product design, selection and application. In addition, Kennametal-
manufactured products, together with a broad range of purchased products, are
sold through full-service supply programs and mail order catalogs. The
company also uses independent distributors and sales agents in the United
States and certain international markets.

The company's products are marketed under various trademarks and tradenames,
such as Kennametal*, Hertel*, the letter K combined with other identifying
letters and/or numbers, Block Style K*, Kendex*, Kenloc*, Top Notch*,
Erickson*, Kyon*, KM*, Drill-Fix* and Fix-Perfect*. Purchased products are
sold under the manufacturer's name or a private label.

Competition
-----------

Kennametal is one of the world's leading producers of cemented carbide tools
and maintains a strong competitive position, especially in the United States
and Canada. There is active competition in the sale of all products made by
the company, with approximately 30 companies engaged in the cemented carbide
business in the United States and many more outside the U.S. Several
competitors are divisions of larger corporations. In addition, several
hundred fabricators and toolmakers in the United States, many of whom operate
out of relatively small shops, produce tools similar to those made by the
company and buy the cemented carbide components for such tools from cemented
carbide producers, including the company. Major domestic competition exists
from both U.S.-based and international-based concerns. In addition, the
company competes with thousands of industrial supply companies in the United
States.

The principal methods of competition in the company's business are service,
product innovation, quality, availability and price. The company believes
that its competitive strength rests on its customer service capabilities
including its multiple distribution channels, its ability to develop new and
improved tools responsive to the needs of its customers and the consistent
high quality of its products. These factors frequently permit the company to
sell such products based on the value added for the customer rather than
strictly on competitive prices.

Seasonality
-----------

Seasonal variations do not have a major effect on the company's business.
However, to varying degrees, traditional summer vacation shutdowns of
metalworking customers' plants and holiday shutdowns often affect the
company's sales levels during the first and second quarters of its fiscal
year.

Backlog
-------

The company's backlog of orders is generally not significant to its
operations. Approximately 80 percent of all orders are filled from stock and
the balance is generally filled within short lead-times.

Research and Development
------------------------

The company is involved in research and development of new products and
processes. Research and development expenses totaled $18.7 million, $15.2
million and $14.7 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Additionally,
certain costs associated with improving manufacturing processes are included
in cost of goods sold. The company holds a number of patents and licenses
which, in the aggregate, are not material to the operation of the business.

The company has brought a number of new or improved products to market during
the past few years. These include metalcutting inserts that incorporate
innovative tool geometries for improved chip control and productivity, grade
KC994M* multi-coated metalcutting inserts for milling applications, grades
KC9010* and KC9025* multi-coated metalcutting inserts for turning
applications, grade Kyon 3500* ceramic metalcutting inserts and grade KCD25*
diamond-coated metalcutting inserts.

Raw Materials and Supplies
--------------------------

Major metallurgical raw materials consist of ore concentrates, compounds and
secondary materials containing tungsten, tantalum, titanium, niobium and
cobalt. Although these raw materials are in relatively adequate supply, major
sources are located abroad and prices at times have been volatile. For these
reasons, the company exercises great care in the selection, purchase and
inventory availability of these materials. The company also purchases
substantial quantities of steel bars and forgings for making toolholders and
other tool parts and accessories. Products purchased for resale are obtained
from hundreds of suppliers located in the U.S. and abroad.

Employees
---------

The company employed approximately 7,000 persons at June 30, 1995, of which
4,400 were located in the United States and 2,600 in other parts of the world,
principally Europe and Canada. Approximately 1,200 employees were represented
by labor unions, of which 140 were hourly-rated employees located at plants in
the Latrobe, Pennsylvania area. The remaining 1,060 employees represented by
labor unions were employed at eight plants located outside of the United
States. The company considers its labor relations to be generally good.

Regulation
----------

Compliance with government laws and regulations pertaining to the discharge of
materials or pollutants into the environment or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment, did not have a material effect on the company's
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position for the year covered by
this report, nor is such compliance expected to have a material effect in the
future.

</TABLE>

The company also has a network of warehouses and customer service centers
located throughout North America, western Europe, Asia and Australia, a
significant portion of which are leased. The majority of the company's
research and development efforts are conducted in a corporate technology
center located adjacent to corporate headquarters in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

All significant properties are used in the company's dominant business of
powder metallurgy, tools, tooling systems and supplies. The company's
production capacity is adequate for its present needs. The company believes
that its properties have been adequately maintained, are generally in good
condition and are suitable for the company's business as presently conducted.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

(a) On August 13, 1993, the company was served with a Notice of
Violation dated August 9, 1993, issued by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA"). The EPA alleges violations concerning visible
emissions from the company's Fallon, Nevada facility. On October 6, 1993, the
EPA issued an interim compliance order with respect to this matter. On April
26, 1994, the company was served with a second Notice of Violation dated April
19, 1994, which relates to the first Notice of Violation. The EPA alleges in
the second but related notice the violation of a regulation concerning the
allowable particulate emission rate. The company has agreed with EPA to pay a
civil fine of $425,000 to settle those alleged violations without an admission
of liability.

(b) In connection with a Domination Contract with Hertel, under German
law, the company is required to offer to minority shareholders to purchase
their shares for a reasonable compensation and to guarantee dividends during
the term of the Domination Contract (ending June 30, 1996, subject to annual
renewals) and to pay to Hertel any net cumulative losses it sustains during
the term and has liability to Hertel creditors as if Hertel merged with the
company. Minority shareholders are contesting the reasonableness of the
purchase price for minority shares and the minimum dividend on minority shares
offered by the company in connection with the Domination Contract. It is
management's opinion that Hertel has viable defenses to the contest of the
reasonableness of the minority share purchase price and minimum dividend and,
in any event, that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of
the company.

(c) There are no other material pending legal proceedings, other than
litigation incidental to the ordinary course of business, to which the company
or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is the
subject.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
