First Quarter 2011 Business Review

Jonathan W. Painter, President & CEO

Thomas M. O’Brien, Executive Vice President & CFO

Forward-Looking Statements

The following constitutes a “Safe Harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995: This presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties, including forward-looking statements about our expected
future financial and operating performance, demand for our products, and industry and
economic outlook. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those indicated by such statements are set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in
Kadant’s annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended January 1, 2011. These include
risks and uncertainties relating to our dependence on the pulp and paper industry;
significance of sales and operation of manufacturing facilities in China; our ability to expand
capacity in China to meet demand; commodity and component price increases or
shortages; international sales and operations; competition; soundness of suppliers and
customers; our effective tax rate; future restructurings; soundness of financial institutions;
our debt obligations; restrictions in our credit agreement; litigation and warranty costs
related to our discontinued operation; our acquisition strategy; protection of patents and
proprietary rights; fluctuations in our share price; and anti-takeover provisions. We
undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a
result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including
increases or decreases in revenues excluding the effect of foreign currency translation,
adjusted operating income, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
(EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of those numbers to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial
measures is shown in our 2011 first quarter earnings press release issued April 27, 2011,
which is available in the Investors section of our website at www.kadant.com under the
heading Investors News.

Financial Classifications

All geographic revenues and bookings data are attributed to regions based on selling
locations. For North America and China, this also approximates revenues and bookings
based on where the equipment is shipped to and installed. Our European geographic data,
however, includes revenues and bookings that may be shipped to and installed outside
Europe, including South America, Africa, the Middle East, and certain countries in Asia
(excluding China).

Prior period amounts for Parts and Consumables revenues and bookings have been
reclassified to include amounts from our “other” category within the Papermaking Systems
segment and Fiber-based products.

Our Accessories product line is now being reported as Doctoring.
