Kennametal Earnings Call Transcript Summary of Q1 2026
Kennametal reported a solid start to fiscal 2026 with first-quarter organic sales up 3% — the company's first organic growth in two years — and adjusted EPS of $0.34 (vs. $0.29 prior year). Performance was driven by share gains and project wins across Metal Cutting and Infrastructure (notably in Aerospace & Defense, Earthworks and Power Generation), pricing and tariff surcharges, and $8 million of restructuring savings. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 15.3% and adjusted operating margin to 8.2%. Cash from operations was $17 million (free operating cash flow negative $5 million YTD) due to higher working capital driven by rising tungsten costs and inventory build. Kennametal returned $25 million to shareholders (repurchases + dividends) and repurchased $10 million of stock in Q1. Management raised its FY26 guidance: sales now $2.10–$2.17 billion and adjusted EPS $1.35–$1.65, reflecting better volumes, additional pricing/surcharge realization (roughly 7% net price/tariff), and a 27% adjusted tax rate. Key risks remain tungsten price volatility, tariff policy changes, and macro uncertainty, but management emphasizes commercial execution, pricing actions, and structural cost reductions to protect margins and capture secular growth in power generation and aerospace/defense.
