PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OVERVIEW
Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943. We are a leading
global manufacturer, marketer and distributor of a broad range of cutting tools,
tooling systems, supplies and technical services, as well as wear-resistant
parts. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence and
technological expertise and innovation in our principal products has helped us
achieve a leading market presence in our primary markets. We believe we are the
second largest global provider of metalcutting tools and tooling systems. End
users of our products include metalworking manufacturers and suppliers in the
aerospace, automotive, machine tool and farm machinery industries, as well as
manufacturers and suppliers in the highway construction, coal mining, quarrying
and oil and gas exploration industries.

We specialize in developing and manufacturing metalworking tools and
wear-resistant parts using a specialized type of powder metallurgy. Our
metalworking tools are made of cemented tungsten carbides, ceramics, cermets,
high-speed steel and other hard materials. We also manufacture and market a
complete line of toolholders, toolholding systems and rotary cutting tools by
machining and fabricating steel bars and other metal alloys. We are one of the
largest suppliers of metalworking consumables and related products in the United
States and Europe. We also manufacture tungsten carbide products used in
engineered applications, mining and highway construction, and other similar
applications, including circuit board drills, compacts and metallurgical
powders.

This Form 10-K contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these
forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as "should,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "approximate," "expect," "may," "will," "project,"
"intend," "plan," "believe" and other words of similar meaning and expression in
connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. One
can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate
strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to relate
to, among other things, our goals, plans and projections regarding our financial
position, results of operations, cash flows, market position and product
development, which are based on current expectations that involve inherent risks
and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of
them in the next several years. Although it is not possible to predict or
identify all factors, they may include the following: global economic
conditions; risks associated with integrating and divesting businesses and
achieving the expected savings and synergies; demands on management resources;
risks associated with international markets such as currency exchange rates, and
social and political environments; competition; labor relations; commodity
prices; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products, and risks
associated with the implementation of restructuring plans and environmental
remediation matters. We can give no assurance that any goal or plan set forth in
forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made.
We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking
statements as a result of future events or developments.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW
We operate four global business units consisting of Metalworking Solutions &
Services Group (MSSG), Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG), J&L Industrial
Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS). Segment selection was based upon
internal organizational structure, the manner in which we organize segments for
making operating decisions and assessing performance, the availability of
separate financial results, and materiality considerations. Sales and operating
income by segment are presented on pages 56 and 57 of the 2002 Annual Report to
Shareowners, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.
Additional information about our operations and assets by segment and geographic
area is presented on pages 57 and 58 of the 2002 Annual Report to Shareowners,
and such information is incorporated herein by reference.



1




METALWORKING SOLUTIONS & SERVICES GROUP - MSSG
In the MSSG segment, we provide 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. Our tooling systems consist of a steel toolholder and
cutting tool such as an indexable insert or drill made from cemented tungsten
carbides, high-speed steel and other hard materials. We also provide solutions
to our customers' metalcutting needs through engineering services aimed at
improving their competitiveness.

During a metalworking operation, the toolholder is positioned in a machine 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.

We serve a wide variety of industries that cut and shape metal parts including
manufacturers of automobiles, trucks, aerospace components, farm equipment, oil
and gas drilling and processing equipment, railroad, marine, power generation
equipment, machinery, appliances, factory equipment and metal components, as
well as the job shops and maintenance operations. We deliver our products to
customers through a direct field sales force, distribution, integrated supply
programs, mail-order and e-business.

With a global marketing organization and operations worldwide, we believe we are
the second largest global provider of consumable metalcutting tools and
supplies.

ADVANCED MATERIALS SOLUTIONS GROUP - AMSG
In the AMSG segment, the principal business is the production and sale of
cemented tungsten carbide products used in mining, highway construction,
engineered applications, including circuit board drills, compacts and other
similar applications. These products have technical commonality to our core
metalworking products. We also sell metallurgical powders to manufacturers of
cemented tungsten carbide products. We also provide application specific
component design services and on-site application support services.

Our mining and construction 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. We
produce these products for mine operators and suppliers, highway construction
companies, municipal governments and manufacturers of mining equipment. We
believe we are the worldwide market leader in mining and highway construction
tooling.

Our customers use engineered products in manufacturing or other operations where
extremes of abrasion, corrosion or impact require combinations of hardness or
other toughness afforded by cemented tungsten carbides or other hard materials.
We sell these products through a direct field sales force and distribution. We
believe we are 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."

J&L INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY - J&L
In this segment, we provide metalworking consumables and related products to
small- and medium-sized manufacturers in the United States and the United
Kingdom. J&L markets products and services through annual mail-order catalogs
and monthly sales flyers, telemarketing, the Internet and field sales. J&L
distributes a broad range of metalcutting tools, abrasives, drills, machine tool
accessories, precision measuring tools, gauges, hand tools and other supplies
used in metalcutting operations. The majority of industrial supplies distributed
by J&L are purchased from other manufacturers, although the product offering
does include Kennametal-manufactured items.

FULL SERVICE SUPPLY - FSS
In the FSS segment, we provide metalworking consumables and related products to
medium- and large-sized manufacturers in the United States and Canada. FSS
offers integrated supply programs that provide inventory management systems,
just-in-time availability and programs that focus on total cost savings. Through
FSS programs, large commercially-oriented customers seeking a single source of
metalcutting supplies engage us 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.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
Our international operations are subject to the usual risks of doing business in
those countries, including foreign currency exchange fluctuations and changes in
social, political and economic environments. Our principal international
operations in the MSSG and AMSG segments are conducted in Western Europe,
Canada, the Asia Pacific region, China, South Africa and Mexico. In addition, we
have manufacturing and/or distribution in Israel and South America, and sales
agents and distributors in Eastern Europe and other areas of the world. Our
Western European operations are integral to our U.S. operations, however, the
diversification of our overall operations tend to minimize the impact on total
sales and earnings of changes in demand in any one particular geographic area.

Our international assets and sales are presented on page 58 of the 2002 Annual
Report to Shareowners, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.
Information pertaining to the effects of foreign exchange risk is contained
under the caption "Market Risk" in Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages
30 and 31 of the 2002 Annual Report to Shareowners and under the captions
"Foreign Currency Translation" and "Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
Activities" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 41
and 42 of the 2002 Annual Report to Shareowners. Such information is
incorporated herein by reference.

THE WIDIA ACQUISITION
On August 30, 2002, we announced that we completed the previously reported
acquisition of the Widia Group from Milacron Inc. for EUR 188 million subject to
post-closing adjustments.

Widia, with approximately $240 million in sales, is a leading manufacturer and
marketer of metalworking tools, engineered products and related services in
Europe and India. Widia has an extensive product line of metalworking
consumables, and is a recognized leader in milling applications. The company
employs approximately 3,400 employees, and operates eight manufacturing
facilities in Europe and two in India. Management currently intends to continue
using the acquired assets for such purpose and to integrate the operations of
the Widia Group with existing operations. Widia sells primarily through direct
sales and has sales and service personnel in many European countries.

On August 30, 2002, to fund the acquisition, we borrowed EUR 188 million under
our new revolving credit facility.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
We sell our manufactured products through the following distinct sales channels:
(i) a direct sales force; (ii) integrated supply and FSS programs; (iii)
mail-order catalogs; (iv) a network of independent distributors and sales agents
in the United States and certain international markets; and (v) the Internet.
Service engineers and technicians directly assist customers with product design,
selection and application.

We market our products 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*, JLK*, J&L*,
Kennametal Hertel*, Hertel*, KM Micro*, Widia*, Top Notch*, Erickson*, Kyon*,
KM*, Drill-Fix*, Fix-Perfect*, Disston*, Chicago Latrobe*, Greenfield*,
RTW* and Cleveland*. We also sell 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 adequate supply of these raw materials currently exists, our major
sources for raw materials are located abroad and prices at times have been
volatile. For these reasons, we exercise great care in the selection, purchase
and inventory availability of raw materials. We also purchase steel bars and
forgings for making toolholders, high-speed steel and other tool parts, rotary
cutting tools and accessories. We obtain products purchased for use in
manufacturing processes and for resale from thousands of suppliers located in
the United States and abroad. Information pertaining to the effects of energy
and raw material costs is contained under the caption "Market Risk" in
Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages 30 and 31 of the 2002 Annual
Report to Shareowners.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Our product development efforts focus on providing solutions to our customers'
manufacturing problems and productivity requirements. Our Achieving a
Competitive Edge (ACE) Program provides discipline and focus for the product
development process by establishing "gateways," or sequential tests, during the
development process to remove inefficiencies and accelerate improvements. ACE
speeds and streamlines development into a series of actions and decision points,
combining effort and resources to produce new and enhanced products, faster. ACE
assures a strong link between customer needs and corporate strategy, and enables
us to gain full benefit from our investment in new product development.

Research and development expenses totaled $18.3 million, $18.9 million and $19.2
million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Additionally, certain costs
associated with improving manufacturing processes are included in cost of goods
sold. We hold a number of patents and licenses, which, in the aggregate, are not
material to the operation of our businesses.

SEASONALITY
Our business is not materially affected by seasonal variations. However, to
varying degrees, traditional summer vacation shutdowns of metalworking
customers' plants and holiday shutdowns often affect our sales levels during the
first and second quarters of our fiscal year.

BACKLOG
Our backlog of orders generally is not significant to our operations. We fill
approximately 90 percent of all orders from stock, and the balance generally is
filled within short lead times.

COMPETITION
We are one of the world's leading producers of cemented carbide products and
high-speed steel tools, and maintain a strong competitive position, especially
in North America and Europe. We actively compete in the sale of all our
products, with approximately 40 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 ours and buy the cemented tungsten carbide
components for such tools from cemented tungsten carbide producers, including
us. Major competition exists from both U.S.-based and international-based
concerns. In addition, we compete with thousands of industrial supply
distributors.

The principal elements of competition in our businesses are service, product
innovation, quality, availability and price. We believe that our competitive
strength rests on our customer service capabilities, including multiple
distribution channels, our global presence, state-of-the-art manufacturing
capabilities, ability to develop solutions to customer needs through new and
improved tools, and the consistent high quality of our products. Based upon our
strengths, we are able to sell products based on the value added to 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 our capital
expenditures or competitive position for the years covered by this report, nor
is such compliance expected to have a material effect in the future.

We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at
several of our manufacturing facilities. In addition, we are currently named as
a potentially responsible party (PRP) at the Li Tungsten Superfund site in Glen
Cove, New York. In December 1999, we recorded a remediation reserve of $3.0
million with respect to our involvement in these matters, which is recorded as a
component of operating expense. This represents our best estimate of the
undiscounted future obligation based on our evaluations and discussions with
outside counsel and independent consultants, and the current facts and
circumstances related to these matters. We recorded this liability because
certain events occurred, including the identification of other PRPs, an
assessment of potential remediation solutions and direction from the government
for the remedial action plan, that clarified our level of involvement in these
matters and our relationship to other PRPs. This led us to conclude that it was
probable that a liability had been incurred. At June 30, 2002, we have an
accrual of $2.8 million recorded relative to this environmental issue.



4


In addition to the amount currently reserved, we may be subject to loss
contingencies related to these matters estimated to be up to an additional $3.0
million. We believe that such undiscounted unreserved losses are reasonably
possible but are not currently considered to be probable of occurrence. The
reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change
substantially in the near term due to factors such as the nature and extent of
contamination, changes in remedial requirements, technological changes,
discovery of new information, the financial strength of other PRPs, the
identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and direction taken by the
government on these matters.

Additionally, we also maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues
associated with our Greenfield Industries, Inc. (Greenfield) operations and a
location operated by our German subsidiary. At June 30, 2002, the total of these
accruals was $1.4 million and represents anticipated costs associated with the
remediation of these issues.

We maintain 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, we
have established an EH&S administrator at all our global manufacturing
facilities. Our 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
basis, we establish or adjust financial provisions and reserves for
environmental contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies."

PUBLIC OFFERINGS
On June 19, 2002, we sold 3.5 million shares of capital stock at a price of $36
per share. Net of issuance costs, this offering yielded proceeds of $120.6
million. On the same date, we issued $300.0 million of 7.2% Senior Unsecured
Notes due 2012 at 99.629% of face amount for net proceeds of $294.3 million
after related financing costs. Proceeds of these offerings were utilized to
repay senior bank indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
As previously discussed, on August 30, 2002 we completed the acquisition of the
Widia Group. See "The Widia Acquisition."

On April 19, 2002, we sold Strong Tool Company, our industrial supply
distributor based in Cleveland, Ohio, for $8.6 million.

In January 2002, we acquired Carmet Company for $5.1 million. Located in Duncan,
South Carolina, this entity is a producer of tungsten carbide cutting tools and
wear parts.

We 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
We employed approximately 11,660 persons at June 30, 2002, of which
approximately 7,400 were located in the United States and 4,260 in other parts
of the world, principally Europe and Asia Pacific. At June 30, 2002,
approximately 2,300 of the above employees were represented by labor unions. We
consider our labor relations to be generally good.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE



To the Shareowners of Kennametal Inc.

Our audit of the consolidated financial statements referred to in our report
dated July 26, 2002, except for Note 19 as to which the date is August 30, 2002
appearing in the 2002 Annual Report to Shareowners of Kennametal Inc. (which
report and consolidated financial statements are incorporated by reference in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K) also included an audit of the financial
statement schedule listed in Item 14 (a) (2) of this Form 10-K. In our opinion,
this financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein
when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. The
financial statements of Kennametal Inc. as of June 30, 2001, and for each of the
two years in the period ended June 30, 2001, were audited by other independent
accountants who have ceased operations. Those independent accountants expressed
an unqualified opinion on those financial statements, before the revision
described in Note 2, in their report dated July 20, 2001.

LLP and it has not been reissued by Arthur Andersen LLP. Arthur Andersen LLP has
not consented to its inclusion; therefore an investor's abilities to recover any
potential damage may be limited.

REPORT OF PREVIOUS INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE


To the Shareowners of Kennametal Inc.

We have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, the consolidated financial statements included in Kennametal
Inc.'s annual report to shareowners incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K,
and have issued our report thereon dated July 20, 2001. Our audits were made for
the purpose of forming an opinion on those statements taken as a whole. The
schedule listed in the index in Item 14 (a)2 of this Form 10-K is the
responsibility of the company's management and is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic financial statements. The schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
