Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator of
the Kennametal Thrift Plus Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Kennametal Thrift Plus Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year (supplemental information) as of December 31, 2013 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

KENNAMETAL THRIFT PLUS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following general description of the Kennametal Thrift Plus Plan, as amended (the Plan), is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan document for complete information.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan, established to encourage investment and savings for certain salaried, hourly and union employees of Kennametal Inc. and certain of its business entities and business units (Kennametal or the Company) and to provide a method to supplement their retirement income. The Plan provides these employees the opportunity to defer a portion of their annual compensation for federal income tax purposes in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (IRC). The Plan also provides for employee-after tax and Company contributions. The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The Company is the Plan sponsor.

Effective May 1, 2013, the Plan was amended to accept Roth contributions in accordance with IRC §
402(A).
Effective July 1, 2012, employees of three business entities who had participated in the Kennametal Affiliated Savings Plan (KASP) became eligible to participate in the Plan. Employees of a fourth business entity, who had also been participants in the KASP, also became eligible to participate in the Plan on January 1, 2013. The impact of this is reflected as transfers in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN – The management of the Company has the authority and responsibility for the general administration of the Plan. Fidelity Management Trust Company functions as the trustee, and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company functions as the record keeper.
ELIGIBILITY – All employees become eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the first payroll period subsequent to their employment date. Under present federal income tax law, Company contributions and all earnings of the Plan do not constitute taxable income to the participants until withdrawn from the Plan by the participants (excluding where applicable, earnings on Roth contributions).
VESTING – Employee contributions are fully vested. All Company contributions (basic, matching and discretionary) cliff vest after the third anniversary of the participant’s employment date. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $52,851 and $41,775, respectively. These amounts will be used to reduce future Company contributions. Also in 2013, employer contributions were reduced by $275,000 for forfeited nonvested accounts.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS – A separate account is maintained for each participant in the Plan. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and Company matching contributions and Company discretionary contributions. Fixed administrative expenses are deducted quarterly from the participants' accounts. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the balance of the participant's vested account.

6



CONTRIBUTIONS – The Plan allows participants to elect a contribution rate (either pre-tax, Roth, after-tax, or a combination) of 1% to 50% of the employee’s eligible wages, which include base salary, overtime, shift differential pay and incentive compensation. Highly compensated employees are limited to contributing 9% pre-tax and 4% after-tax of their eligible wages. Newly hired employees are automatically enrolled at 3%. Employees who are age 50 or older and who exceed the annual dollar limit under the law or the Plan are eligible to make catch-up contributions.
The Plan provides for Company matching contributions of 50% of employee contributions, up to 6% of compensation. As such, the maximum Company matching contribution is 3% of compensation. Under the Plan, the Company has the discretion to make matching contributions in Kennametal capital stock.

The participants can elect to have their contributions (pre-tax, Roth, after-tax, catch-up and rollover amounts) invested in the different investment funds available under the Plan. Currently, the Plan offers 12 mutual funds, 9 common/collective trusts, Kennametal Inc. capital stock, a Master Trust, as well as a self-directed brokerage account. Company matching contributions are invested in the same investment elections that the employee elected for their pre-tax or after-tax contributions.
Participants receive a fixed basic contribution equal to 3% of the employee’s eligible compensation and an additional discretionary contribution from 0% up to 3%. Under the Plan, the Company has the right to make its basic and discretionary contributions in Kennametal capital stock. During 2013, the Company did not make any discretionary contributions. Company basic and discretionary contributions are invested in the same investment fund elections that the employee elected for their pre-tax or after-tax contributions.
DISTRIBUTIONS – Distributions to participants due to disability, retirement or death are payable, at the participant’s election, as a single distribution consisting of whole shares of Kennametal capital stock plus cash for fractional shares, a cash lump sum or periodic payments for a period not to extend beyond the life (or life expectancy) of the participant or the joint lives (or life expectancy) of the participant and their designated beneficiary. If a participant’s vested interest in his or her account exceeds $1,000, a participant may elect to defer distribution to a future date as more fully described in the plan document.
In addition, while still employed, participants may withdraw their after-tax employee contributions or rollover contributions at any time. Participants over the age of 59.5, may withdraw their vested balance at any time. Vested Company contributions and pre-tax employee contributions may be withdrawn by participants under age 59.5 only for specific hardship reasons.
NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM PARTICIPANTS – A participant may borrow up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of his or her vested account balance, with a minimum note amount of $1,000. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. The maximum term permissible for a general-purpose note is 5 years and 30 years for a residential note. The interest rate is determined by the plan administrator based on existing market conditions and is fixed over the life of the note. Interest rates on notes receivable from participants ranged from 4.25% to 10.50% at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Notes receivable from participants outstanding at December 31, 2013 have maturity dates ranging from 2014 to 2043.
INVESTMENTS – Participants direct their contributions and Company cash contributions by electing that such contributions be placed in a single investment or allocated to any combination of investments or the self-directed brokerage account available under the Plan. Earnings derived from the assets of any investment are reinvested in the investment to which they relate. Participants may elect at any time to transfer all or a portion of the value of their accounts among the investment options.

7



For Company contributions made in Kennametal capital stock, participants have the ability to exchange the Kennametal capital stock for a single investment or for any combination of investments offered by the Plan.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING – The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.
As described in the accounting guidance on “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans,” investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required by this standard, the statements of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment contract as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contract from fair value to contract value. The statements of net assets available for benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.
USE OF ESTIMATES – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION – Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Plan's Investment Committee determines the Plan's valuation policies utilizing information provided by the investment advisers, investment consultants and the custodian. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
INVESCO Institutional, Inc. reported that all the investment contracts held in the Master Trust under the Stable Value Fund (see Note 5) are fully benefit-responsive. Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are reported at fair value with a corresponding adjustment to contract value for purposes of reporting net assets available for investments. Shares of mutual funds and common stock are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Investments in Kennametal capital stock are valued at their quoted market price at year-end.

NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM PARTICIPANTS – Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded in the period earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS – Benefit payments are recorded when paid to participants / beneficiaries.

8



NET APPRECIATION – Net appreciation in fair value of investments is composed of unrealized gains and losses, which represent the change in market value, compared to the cost of investments in each year, and realized gains and losses on security transactions, which represent the difference between proceeds received and average cost. Net appreciation in fair value of investments for the year ended December 31, 2013 was as follows: 
  
2013

Mutual Funds
$
47,295,977

Common / Collective Trusts
23,438,631

Kennametal Inc. Capital Stock
15,067,945

Total
$
85,802,553

PLAN EXPENSES – Certain expenses of maintaining the Plan are paid directly by the Company and are excluded from these financial statements. Record keeping fees are charged equally to each participant and are classified as administrative fees on the statement of changes in net assets. Fees related to the administration of notes receivable from participants are charged directly to the participant's account and are included in administrative expenses. Investment related expenses are included in net appreciation of fair value of investments.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable.
The following sections describe the valuation methodologies used by the Plan to measure investments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each major category of investments is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models and any significant assumptions. There have been no changes in the methodologies used and no transfers between fair value levels at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Mutual Funds Investments in mutual funds are valued at quoted net asset values at year end.

Master Trust The plan has an undivided interest in the underlying assets of the Master Trust. Assets of the Master Trust are held in a stable value fund by INVESCO. The Master Trust primarily invests in wrapper contracts, or synthetic guaranteed investment contracts. See Note 5 for additional disclosures on the Master Trust. The fair value of the underlying assets of the Master Trust were determined using a present value model and the principal inputs are discount rate, fee periods, fee invoice schedule, contract value, replacement cost and actual cost.

9



Capital Stock Investments in capital stock are valued at their quoted market price at year-end.
Common / collective trusts Investments in common / collective trusts are valued using the NAV of units of a bank collective trust. The NAV, as provided by the trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. This practical expedient is not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different than the reported NAV. Participant transactions (purchases and sales) may occur daily. Were the Plan to initiate a full redemption of the collective trust, the investment adviser reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner. These investments do not have any unfunded commitments as of December 31, 2013 and have a nominal redemption period.
Self-Directed Brokerage Account The following investment types of the self-directed brokerage account are valued as follows:
Mutual Funds - valued at the quoted net asset values at year end.
Common and Preferred Stocks - valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - value approximates fair value due to the short term nature of this instrument.
Units in Trust - valued at the quoted net asset values at year end.
As of December 31, 2013, the fair values of the Plan’s investments measured on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:
 
 
Level 1
 
Level 2

NOTE 5 – MASTER TRUST
A portion of the Plan’s investments are held in a Master Trust that was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and two other Company-sponsored defined contribution plans. Each plan has an undivided interest in the underlying assets of the Master Trust. The assets of the Master Trust are held in a stable value fund by INVESCO. Investment income relating to the Master Trust is allocated to the individual plans based upon average monthly balances invested by each plan. The underlying assets of the Master Trust include benefit-responsive investment contracts (the contracts).
The Master Trust’s key objectives are to provide preservation of principal, maintain a stable interest rate, and provide daily liquidity at contract value for participant withdrawals and transfers in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

13



To accomplish the objectives described above, the Master Trust primarily invests in wrapper contracts, or synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (GICs). In wrapper contracts, the investments are owned and held by the Master Trust for Plan participants. The Trust purchases a wrapper contract from an insurance company or bank. The wrapper contract amortizes the realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying fixed-income investments, typically over the duration of the investments, through adjustments to the future interest-crediting rate, the rate earned by participants in the Master Trust for the underlying investments. The issuer of the wrapper contract provides assurance that the adjustment to the interest-crediting rate will not result in a future interest-crediting rate that is less than zero. An interest-crediting rate less than zero would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest.

The key factors that influence future interest-crediting rates for a wrapper contract include the level of market interest rates, the amount and timing of participant activity within the wrapper contract, the investment returns and the duration of the underlying investments. Most wrapper contracts use a formula based on the characteristics of the underlying fixed-income portfolio to determine a crediting rate. Over time, the crediting rate formula amortizes the Master Trust’s realized and unrealized market value gains and losses over the duration of the investments. The wrapper contracts’ interest-crediting rates are typically reset on a monthly or quarterly basis.
The average yield earned by the Plan based on actual earnings was 1.36% and 0.88% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The average yield earned by the Plan based on the interest rate credited to participants was 1.89% and 2.34% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
In certain circumstances, the amount withdrawn from the wrapper contract would be payable at fair value rather than at contract value. These events include termination of the Plan, a material adverse change to the provisions of the Plan, if the employer elects to withdraw from a contract in order to switch to a different investment provider, or if the terms of a successor plan do not meet the wrapper contract issuer’s underwriting criteria for issuance of a clone wrapper contract. Management believes that the events described above could result in the payment of benefits at fair value rather than contract value and are not probable of occurring in the foreseeable future.

At December 31, 2012, the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust was approximately 88 percent.

NOTE 6 – TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Plan sponsor by a letter dated April 15, 2013, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and therefore believe that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

16



U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2010.

NOTE 7 – PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100 percent vested in the Company contributions.

NOTE 8 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain investments of the plan are managed by Fidelity Investments. The trustee of the Plan is Fidelity Management Trust Company and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
One of the investment fund options available to participants is capital stock of Kennametal Inc., the Plan sponsor. The Plan held 1,146,351 and 1,410,029 shares of Kennametal capital stock, or $59,944,832 and $56,433,742 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As a result, transactions related to this investment fund qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective January 1, 2014, the Plan was amended to (1) provide for the participation of eligible employees of Kennametal Extrude Hone Corporation, Kennametal Tricon Metals and Services Corporation and Kennametal Stellite., L.P. in Company basic contributions, Company discretionary contributions, and all other forms of participant and Company contribution under the Plan (2) provide that eligible employees who are transferred to the Plan shall receive vesting service credit for their service under such other Plans prior to the transfer (3) provide that Kennametal Stellite, L.P. employees whose accounts are merged into the Plan from the Deloro Stellite Co., Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (Stellite Plan) shall be fully vested in such transferred accounts and in their new accounts under the Plan (4) provide for the transfer of accounts of Kennametal Stellite L.P. employees (Goshen, Indiana location) from the Stellite Plan (5) provide for a limited company matching contribution for Kennametal Tungsten Materials Business employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and (6) provide the Plan administrator with the authority to accept the rollover into the Plan of notes associated with the outstanding balance on any loans of transferred or merged employees.
