Dear Fellow

Shareholders

In Fiscal 2022, the Kennametal team delivered excellent full-year results while navigating manifold headwinds including supply chain disruptions, effects of the conflict in Ukraine, COVID-19 related absenteeism and lockdowns and record- high inflation. Despite these challenges, the team continued to execute our strategic initiatives resulting in strong full-year operating leverage, delivering over 300 basis points of year-over-year improvement and a 660 basis point improvement in adjusted EBITDA since 2016.

Sales increased 9 percent year-over-year to $2 billion, driven by 11 percent organic growth. Adjusted operating income was $224 million or 11.1% margin, adjusted Earnings Per Share (adjusted EPS) was $1.78 and adjusted EBITDA was $364 million or 18.1% margin. We finished the year strong with organic sales in the fourth quarter up 7% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $0.53.

We also returned $152 million to shareholders, $85 million in share repurchases and $67 million in dividends.

Built for Performance

Through our modernization investments and on-going Operational Excellence initiatives, we are in an even stronger position to drive greater productivity. Throughout the year we continued to optimize our newly modernized facilities around the world and are poised to benefit further from these investments as volumes increase. And beyond this volume benefit, we will also continue to drive additional productivity and customer service excellence through our Smart Factory, automation and other continuous improvement initiatives.

Our improved cost position and customer service levels through Operational Excellence combined with our Commercial Excellence initiatives to expand into underserved customer segments and applications have put the company in a better position than ever before to drive a larger share-of-wallet with existing and new customers. In the fourth quarter alone, we announced commercial wins in the electric vehicle, semiconductor, aerospace and additive manufacturing spaces. Throughout the year we also progressed in our other strategic growth areas, including mining adjacencies, renewable energy and process industries.

The Innovation Advantage

Our innovative solutions, superior product performance and world-class application engineering continued to give us a competitive edge in the marketplace to gain share. In the pages that follow you will find many examples of how our innovative products help customers transform how everyday life is built. I am proud to share our solutions that helped customers in wind energy, road construction, surface mining, aerospace and everything in between tackle their toughest challenges.

Customers turn to us for innovative solutions and technical knowledge in renewable energy applications. Our products and application expertise are driving productivity and efficiency improvements for wind energy customers machining everything from turbine rings to power gear boxes. For example, we developed a drilling solution for a prominent wind power forging supplier that increased their productivity by 200% and tool life by 700%.

Innovation Driving Share Gain

In aerospace, we continue to win large share of wallet with tier suppliers. We have expanded our channels supporting our brands and displaced a competitive brand at tier suppliers with our fit-for-purpose tooling.

Our proprietary design and manufacturing technique for pelletizing dies recently won a large-scale production expansion project in the process industry.

We have expanded our wear-resistant solutions to surface mining equipment. We strengthened customer relationships through productivity increases and won significant incremental sales across a broader product portfolio.

Our support of a major oil field services company in the development of higher efficiency well-completion technology resulted in us being named the sole source supplier for our ability to optimize a complex design and manufacturing consistency.

15 to 25 times longer life than traditional tungsten carbide offerings.

Our Fix8™ industry-leading turning technology has eight cutting edges per insert and is ideal for medium machining and roughing. It delivers up to 30% higher metal removal rates and longer tool life.

We have the material and application versatility our customers need to stay productive. The WIDIA WCE™ 4-flutesolid carbide end mill provides advanced geometry features while performing in demanding operations.

Additive Solutions

We bring nearly a century of materials and manufacturing expertise to every layer of the additive process

- from differentiated metal powders and design optimization to rapid prototyping and series production.

GE Additive Beta Partner. We are part of GE Additive's program to further advance Binder Jet capabilities in cemented tungsten carbide. Our metal 3-Dprinted parts have already gained wide customer adoption across a variety of industries such as oil & gas, energy, industrial processing and transportation. Our tungsten carbide and Stellite™ (cobalt chrome alloy) alloys are recognized for their superior wear, heat and corrosion performance.

When combined with additive manufacturing, these proprietary materials can offer a step change in wear and corrosion solutions for some of the most challenging applications.

Proven Performance. We're leading the way in tungsten carbide additive manufacturing with our most corrosion resistant grade for component production yet, KAR85-AM-K.This new grade delivers the best of both worlds - the highly desirable material properties of conventional tungsten carbide with the design flexibility of additive for high performance components that go the distance in the most demanding applications.
