PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943. Kennametal Inc. and
subsidiaries (Kennametal or the company) is a vertically integrated manufacturer
and marketer of consumable tools and related supplies for the metalworking,
mining and highway construction industries, as well as specially engineered
products for a variety of other 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 tungsten carbides, ceramics, cermets, high-speed steel and other
hard materials. Kennametal also manufactures and markets a complete line of
toolholders, toolholding systems and rotary cutting tools by machining and
fabricating steel bars and other metal alloys. The company, through its
subsidiary JLK Direct Distribution Inc., also is one of the largest suppliers of
metalworking consumables and related products in the United States. Kennametal
also manufactures tungsten carbide products used in engineered applications,
mining and highway construction, and other similar applications, including
circuit board drills, compacts and metallurgical powders.

During 1998, the company expanded its metalworking focus by acquiring Greenfield
Industries, Inc. (Greenfield), a leading worldwide manufacturer of consumable
cutting tools and related products used in a variety of industrial, electronics,
energy and construction, engineered and consumer markets. Greenfield
manufactures a complete line of high-speed steel and tungsten carbide products,
including drills; endmills; taps and dies and fixed limit gages; products used
in oil and gas drilling; carbide drills, endmills and routers used to make
printed circuit boards for the electronics industry; and "made-to-order"
tungsten carbide parts for demanding wear applications such as plastics
processing, tool and die manufacturing and petroleum flow control. The company
also manufactures cutting tools, drill bits, saw blades and other tools for
builders, contractors, mechanics and "do-it-yourselfers."

This Form 10-K contains "forward-looking statements" as defined by Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results may materially differ
from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to,
the extent that the economic conditions in the United States, Europe and, to a
lesser extent, Asia Pacific are not sustained, risks associated with integrating
businesses, demands on management resources, risks associated with international
markets such as currency exchange rates and competition, risks associated with
environmental remediation, the effect of third party or company failures to
achieve timely remediation of year 2000 issues, and the effect of the conversion
to the Euro on the company's operations. The company undertakes no obligation to
publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events
or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.

Business Segment Review

The company reports three worldwide segments consisting of Metalworking;
Industrial Supply; and Engineered Products, Mining & Construction and Other
(EM&O). Segment selection was based upon the internal organizational structure,
the way in which management organizes segments for making operating decisions
and assessing performance, the availability of separate financial results, and
materiality considerations. The company's sales and operating income by segment
are presented on pages 11 through 14 of the 1999 Annual Report to Shareowners,
and such information is incorporated herein by reference. Additional information
about the company's operations and assets by segment and geographic area is
presented on pages 39 through 41 of the 1999 Annual Report to Shareowners, and
such information is incorporated herein by reference.

Metalworking

In the Metalworking segment, Kennametal markets, manufactures and distributes a
full line of products and services for the metalworking industry. The company
provides consumable metalcutting tools and tooling systems to manufacturing
companies in a wide range of industries throughout the world. Metalcutting
operations include turning, boring, threading, grooving, milling and drilling.

A Kennametal tooling system consists of a steel toolholder and an indexable
cutting tool such as an insert or drill made from cemented tungsten carbides,
ceramics, cermets, high-speed steel and other hard materials. During a
metalworking operation, the toolholder is positioned in a machine tool that
provides the turning power. While the workpiece or toolholder is rapidly
rotating, the cutting tool insert or drill contacts the workpiece and cuts or
shapes the workpiece. The cutting tool insert or drill is consumed during use
and must be replaced periodically.

With a multi-channel, global marketing organization and operations worldwide,
the company believes it is the largest North American and the second largest
global provider of consumable metalcutting tools and supplies. The company also
manufactures cutting tools, drill bits, saw blades and other tools for the
consumer market which are marketed under private label and other proprietary
brands.

Industrial Supply

This segment represents the sales of industrial supply products through
Kennametal's subsidiary, JLK Direct Distribution Inc. (JLK). JLK distributes a
broad range of metalworking consumables and related products to customers in the
United States, offering a full line of metalcutting tools, abrasives, drills,
machine tool accessories, hand tools and other supplies used in metalcutting
operations. The majority of industrial supplies distributed by JLK are purchased
from other manufacturers, although the industrial supply product offering does
include Kennametal-manufactured items.

To meet the varying needs of small-, medium- and large-sized customers, sales of
metalworking consumable products are derived through a direct-marketing program,
including mail-order catalogs and retail showrooms, a direct field sales force,
and integrated supply programs or Full Service Supply (FSS) programs. The
direct-marketing program and the direct field sales force serve customers of any
size. Through FSS programs, medium- and large-sized industrial manufacturers
engage JLK to carry out all aspects of complex metalworking supply processes,
including needs assessment, cost analysis, procurement planning, supplier
selection, "just-in-time" restocking of supplies and ongoing technical support.
JLK also conducts its direct-marketing program for small- and medium-sized
customers in the United Kingdom and Germany.

Engineered Products, Mining & Construction and Other

This segment's principal business is the production and sale of tungsten carbide
products used in engineered applications, mining and highway construction and
other similar applications, including circuit board drills, compacts and
metallurgical powders. These products have technical commonality to the
company's core metalworking products.

The company is a leading manufacturer of carbide products used in engineered
product applications. The company also makes industrial wear-resistant parts for
use in abrasive environments and specialty applications such as plastics
processing, tool and die manufacturing and petroleum flow control.

Mining and highway 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, conical
bits, drills, pinning rods, augers and a wide range of mining tool accessories.
Highway 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.

The company manufactures and distributes compacts for mining, quarrying,
water-well drilling and oil and gas exploration. The company believes that it is
the largest independent supplier of oil field compacts in the world. Compacts
are the cutting edges of oil well drilling bits, which are commonly referred to
as "rock bits."

The company produces proprietary tungsten carbide metallurgical powders for use
as a basic material in many of its metalworking, mining and highway 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 that are
sold to manufacturers of cemented carbide products, oil and gas drilling
equipment and diamond drill bits.

International Operations

The company's principal international operations are conducted in Western
Europe, Canada, South Africa and Mexico. In addition, the company has joint
ventures in China, Poland and Russia, manufacturing and/or sales subsidiaries in
Israel, South America and in the Asia Pacific region, 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 assets and sales are presented on page 41 of the
1999 Annual Report to Shareowners, and such information is incorporated herein
by reference. Information pertaining to the effects of foreign currency
fluctuations is contained under the caption "Market Risk" in Management's
Discussion and Analysis on pages 18 and 19 of the 1999 Annual Report to
Shareowners and under the caption "Foreign Currency Translation" in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements on page 28 of the 1999 Annual Report to
Shareowners. Such information is incorporated herein by reference.

Information pertaining to the effects of the conversion to the European Union's
common currency, the Euro, is contained under the caption "Conversion to the
Euro Currency" in Management's Discussion and Analysis on page 20 of the 1999
Annual Report to Shareowners, and such information is incorporated herein by
reference.

Marketing and Distribution

The company's products are sold primarily through the following distinct sales
channels: (i) a direct sales force, (ii) JLK's FSS programs, (iii) retail
showrooms, (iv) mail-order catalogs, (v) a network of independent distributors
and sales agents in the United States and certain international markets, and
(vi) the Internet. The company's manufactured products are sold to end users
through a direct sales force and a network of independent distributors. 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 JLK's FSS
programs, retail showrooms, mail-order catalogs and the Internet.

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*, KennaMAX*, Top
Notch*, Erickson*, Kyon*, KM*, Drill-Fix*, Fix-Perfect*, Disston*, Chicago
Latrobe*, Putnam*, Greenfield*, RTW* and Cleveland*. The company also sells
products to customers who resell such products under the customers' names or
private labels.

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 steel bars and
forgings for making toolholders, high-speed steel and other tool parts, rotary
cutting tools and accessories. Products purchased for use in manufacturing
processes and for resale are obtained from thousands of suppliers located in
the United States and abroad.

Research and Development

The company is involved in research and development of new products and
processes. Research and development expenses totaled $18.8 million, $20.4
million and $24.1 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, 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 products to market during the past few
years. These include metalcutting inserts and drills that incorporate innovative
tool geometries or compositions for improved chip control and productivity as
well as new mining and highway construction tools and toolholders. In 1999, the
company introduced five new turning geometry families, representing over 150
specific insert sizes and shapes for the machining of low carbon, alloy, and
stainless steels along with various high temp alloys. These inserts carry unique
features indicating application ranges and size designations making selection of
the proper insert customer friendly. New compositions introduced in the past
year include KC5410*, an aluminum and magnesium alloy turning insert, KC9315*, a
cast and ductile iron turning insert, and KC9215*, a turning insert used for
finishing stainless steels.

Other metalworking products introduced by Kennametal include new grooving
systems, zero-degree milling cutters and associated inserts, roughing and
finishing carbide endmills for faster machining of steel, titanium and aluminum,
and airframe milling cutters designed to improve machining dynamics and increase
metalcutting rates for machining aluminum and titanium. In 1999, mining and
construction introduced a quick-change toolholding system, which increases
customer productivity by reducing part replacement while mining or asphalt
milling.

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 generally is not significant to its operations.
Approximately 90 percent of all orders are filled from stock, and the balance
generally is filled within short lead times.

Competition

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

The principal elements 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 global presence, its state-of-the-art
manufacturing capabilities, 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.

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 years covered by
this report, nor is such compliance expected to have a material effect in the
future.

The company has been involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation
activities at several of its manufacturing facilities. In addition, the company
is currently named as a potentially responsible party at two 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 as well as an EH&S Policy Committee to ensure 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
No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies."

Stock Issuances

On March 20, 1998, the company sold 3.45 million shares of common stock
resulting in net proceeds of $171.4 million. The proceeds were used to reduce a
portion of the company's long-term debt incurred in connection with the
acquisition of Greenfield.

On July 2, 1997, an initial public offering (IPO) of approximately 4.9 million
shares of Class A Common Stock of JLK was consummated at a price of $20.00 per
share. JLK operates the industrial supply operations consisting of the company's
wholly owned J&L America, Inc. subsidiary and its FSS programs. The net proceeds
from the offering were $90.4 million and represented the sale of approximately
20 percent of JLK's common stock. The net proceeds were used by JLK to repay
$20.0 million of indebtedness related to a dividend to the company and $20.0
million related to intercompany obligations to the company incurred in 1997. The
company used these proceeds to repay short-term debt. JLK used the remaining net
proceeds of $50.4 million from the offering during 1998 to make acquisitions.
The company's ownership in JLK increased to approximately 83 percent due to
treasury stock purchases made by JLK since the IPO. The company currently
intends to retain a majority of both the economic and voting interests of JLK.

Acquisitions

In November 1997, the company completed the acquisition of Greenfield for $1.0
billion. The company acquired all of Greenfield's outstanding common stock for
$38.00 per share, and assumed outstanding debt and convertible securities of
$320.0 million. Greenfield is a manufacturer of consumable cutting tools and
related products used in a variety of industrial, electronics, energy and
construction, engineered and consumer markets. The acquisition of Greenfield
increased the company's market share in the high-speed rotary steel product
markets.

Additionally, the company also has made several other acquisitions in 1999 and
1998 to expand its product offering and distribution channels. All acquisitions
were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

The company will continue to evaluate new opportunities that allow for the
expansion of existing product lines into new market areas, either directly or
indirectly through joint ventures, where appropriate.

Employees

The company employed approximately 13,640 persons at June 30, 1999, of which
9,310 were located in the United States and 4,330 in other parts of the world,
principally Europe and Asia Pacific. Approximately 2,520 employees were
represented by labor unions, of which 830 were hourly-rated employees located at
six plants in the United States. The remaining 1,690 employees represented by
labor unions were employed at twelve plants located outside of the United
States. The company considers its labor relations to be generally good.
