Kennametal Inc. delivered significantly stronger fiscal 2026 results, with sales of $2,356.7 million, up 20 percent from 2025, driven by 19 percent organic growth and modest foreign-exchange tailwinds. Operating income rose to $472.5 million, a 20.1 percent margin versus 7.3 percent a year earlier, helped by favorable timing of raw material-related pricing (about $316 million), broader pricing actions, higher volumes and restructuring savings.
Net income attributable to Kennametal increased to $342.4 million, or $4.42 EPS, compared with $1.20 in 2025. Metal Cutting posted a 14.0 percent operating margin on $1,397.4 million of sales, while Infrastructure reached a 29.2 percent margin on $959.3 million of sales as Earthworks, Energy and Aerospace & Defense grew strongly.
Cash generation was weaker: net cash flow from operating activities was $(4.0) million versus $208.3 million in 2025, mainly due to a large inventory build tied to rising tungsten prices and advance vendor payments. Kennametal refinanced its debt by issuing $300.0 million of 2036 notes, tendering most 2028 notes and arranging a new $500.0 million delayed-draw term loan and expanded revolving credit facility, ending with $95.8 million in cash and ample revolver availability. Management highlights exposure to geopolitical conflicts, tariffs, tungsten supply volatility, regulatory and environmental obligations (environmental accrual $12.3 million), and cybersecurity risk, while emphasizing ongoing investment in R&D, global manufacturing and human capital for long-term growth.

Despite higher earnings, net cash flow from operating activities was negative $4 million and free operating cash flow was negative $79 million, mainly from inventory growth and supplier prepayments tied to higher tungsten prices. The company guided Q1 fiscal 2027 sales to $745–$775 million and adjusted EPS to $2.50–$2.80, and full‑year sales to $3.33–$3.45 billion with adjusted EPS of $4.15–$5.15.
