FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can identify 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 or events. We have also included forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning, among other things, our strategy, goals, plans and projections regarding our financial position, liquidity and capital resources, results of operations, market position and product development. These statements are based on current estimates that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, our actual results could vary materially from our current expectations. There are a number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. They include: downturns in the business cycle or economic downturns; our ability to achieve all anticipated benefits of our restructuring initiatives; risks related to our foreign operations and international markets, such as fluctuations in currency exchange rates, different regulatory environments, trade barriers, exchange controls, and social and political instability; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate, including environmental, health and safety regulations; potential for future goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges; our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property; continuity and security of information technology infrastructure; competition; our ability to retain our management and employees; demands on management resources; availability and cost of the raw materials we use to manufacture our products; product liability claims; integrating acquisitions and achieving the expected savings and synergies; global or regional catastrophic events; demand for and market acceptance of our products; business divestitures; labor relations; and implementation of environmental remediation matters. We provide additional information about many of the specific risks we face in the “Risk Factors” Section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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. Except as required by law, we do not intend to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. ORGANIZATION
Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943 as a manufacturer of tungsten carbide metal cutting tooling. From this beginning, Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Kennametal or the Company) has grown into a global leader in the development and application of tungsten carbides, ceramics, super-hard materials and solutions used in metal cutting and mission-critical wear applications to combat extreme conditions associated with wear fatigue, corrosion and high temperatures. The Company's reputation for material technology, metal cutting application knowledge, as well as expertise and innovation in the development of custom solutions and services, contributes to its leading position in its primary markets.
Our product offering includes a wide selection of standard and customized technologies for metalworking applications, such as turning, milling, hole making, tooling systems and services. End users of the Company's metalworking products include manufacturers engaged in a diverse array of industries including: the manufacturers of transportation vehicles and components, machine tools and light and heavy machinery; airframe and aerospace components; and energy-related components for the oil and gas industry, as well as power generation.
In addition, we produce specialized wear components and metallurgical powders that are used for custom-engineered and challenging applications. End users of the Company's products include producers and suppliers in equipment-intensive operations such as coal mining, road construction, quarrying, oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements, which include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim statements are unaudited; however, we believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods were made and all adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a “year” is to a fiscal year ended June 30. For example, a reference to 2018 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 . When used in this Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adopted
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which is intended to simplify equity-based award accounting and presentation. The guidance impacts income tax accounting related to equity-based awards, the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this guidance July 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance resulted in three changes. (1) The increase to deferred tax assets of $1.4 million related to cumulative excess tax benefits previously unrecognized was offset by a valuation allowance, due to the valuation allowance position of our U.S. entity. (2) Excess tax benefits, previously reported in the financing activities section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, is now reported in the operating activities section, adopted on a prospective basis. Therefore, prior period statements of cash flow were not retrospectively adjusted for this provision. (3) Employee taxes paid when Kennametal withholds shares for tax withholding purposes, previously reported in the operating activities section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, is now reported in the financing activities section, adopted on a retrospective basis. Therefore, prior period statements of cash flow were retrospectively adjusted for this provision: cash flow provided by operating activities and cash flow used for financing activities increased by $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 .
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which requires that inventory other than LIFO be subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, as opposed to the previous practice of lower of cost or market. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO. We adopted this guidance July 1, 2017. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


Issued
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which seeks to improve financial reporting and obtain closer alignment with risk management activities, in addition to simplifying the application of hedge accounting guidance and additional disclosures. This guidance is effective for us July 1, 2019. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” This ASU replaces nearly all existing U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The standard prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue, the application of which will require significant judgment. It also requires additional disclosures. We will adopt this standard on July 1, 2018. Currently, we are analyzing the standard's impact on our customer arrangements and evaluating the new standard against our historical accounting policies and practices, including the timing of revenue recognition. In particular, we are assessing the identification of performance obligations and the impact of variable consideration on the transaction price determination. We continue to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the timing of revenue recognition associated with certain customized products primarily in the Industrial and Infrastructure segments. Further, we continue to assess certain marketing programs and expect to identify more performance obligations under ASC 606 as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified, primarily in the Industrial and Widia segments. We are evaluating the timing of revenue to determine if it will occur in the same or different periods. We have not determined the complete impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. 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.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As part of our financial risk management program, we use certain derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes. We account for derivative instruments as a hedge of the related asset, liability, firm commitment or anticipated transaction, when the derivative is specifically designated and qualifies as a hedge of such items. Our objective in managing foreign exchange exposures with derivative instruments is to reduce volatility in cash flow. We measure hedge effectiveness by assessing the changes in the fair value or expected future cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portions are recorded in other expense, net.
The fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

Certain currency forward contracts that hedge significant cross-border intercompany loans are considered as other derivatives and therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting.

CASH FLOW HEDGES
Range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold) are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized as a component of other expense, net when the underlying sale of products or services is recognized into earnings. The notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , was $75.7 million and $75.3 million , respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at September 30, 2017 , we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months $1.8 million of income on outstanding derivatives.
The following represents gains and losses related to cash flow hedges:

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES
As of September 30, 2017 , we had certain foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans payable with total aggregate principal amounts of €33.0 million as net investment hedges to hedge the foreign exchange exposure of our net investment in Euro-based subsidiaries. A loss of $1.3 million was recorded as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 .

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
In prior years, we implemented restructuring actions to streamline the Company's cost structure. The purpose of these initiatives was to improve the alignment of our cost structure with the current operating environment through headcount reductions, as well as rationalization and consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions were substantially completed in the September quarter of fiscal 2018 and were mostly cash expenditures.

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $154.5 million has been recorded for these programs through September 30, 2017 : $84.5 million in Industrial, $49.1 million in Infrastructure, $13.6 million in Widia and $7.3 million in Corporate.
We recorded restructuring and related charges of $6.9 million and $31.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $5.5 million and $28.6 million , respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , an immaterial amount of restructuring charges was related to inventory disposals and was recorded in cost of goods sold. There were no restructuring charges related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of good sold during the three months ended September 30, 2017 . Restructuring-related charges of $1.3 million and $2.0 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $0.1 million and $1.1 million in operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.
As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , property, plant, and equipment of $7.5 million and $7.0 million , respectively, for certain closed manufacturing locations that are part of our restructuring programs met held for sale criteria. We expect to sell these assets within one year from the balance sheet date. These assets are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. We have also ceased depreciating these assets.
As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , $19.7 million and $27.3 million of the restructuring accrual is recorded in other current liabilities, respectively, and as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , $2.5 million is recorded in other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Restricted Stock Units – Time Vesting and Performance Vesting
Performance vesting restricted stock units are earned pro rata each year if certain performance goals are met over a three -year period and are also subject to a service condition that requires the individual to be employed by the Company at the vesting date after the three -year performance period, with the exception of retirement eligible grantees, who upon retirement are entitled to vest in any units that have been earned, including a prorated portion in the partially completed fiscal year in which the retirement occurs. Time vesting stock units are valued at the market value of the stock on the grant date. Performance vesting stock units with a market condition are valued using a Monte Carlo model.

We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 41 percent and 43 percent of total inventories at September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , respectively. Since inventory valuations under the LIFO method are based on an annual determination of quantities and costs as of June 30 of each year, the interim LIFO valuations are based on our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

LONG-TERM DEBT
Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2016 (Credit Agreement) provides for revolving credit loans of up to $600 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the Credit agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2017 . We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 . Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement matures in April 2021.
Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $707.2 million and $704.0 million at September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , respectively.

12.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The operation of our business has exposed us to certain liabilities and compliance costs related to environmental matters. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at certain of our locations.
Superfund Sites Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), under which we have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) with respect to environmental remedial costs at certain Superfund sites. We have evaluated our claims and liabilities associated with these Superfund sites based upon best currently available information. We believe our environmental accruals are adequate to cover our portion of the environmental remedial costs at the Superfund sites where we have been designated a PRP, to the extent these expenses are probable and reasonably estimable.
Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , the balances of these reserves were $12.6 million and $12.4 million , respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.
The reserves we have established for environmental liabilities represent our best current estimate of the costs of addressing all identified environmental situations, based on our review of currently available evidence, and taking into consideration our prior experience in remediation and that of other companies, as well as public information released by the USEPA, other governmental agencies and by the PRP groups in which we are participating. Although the reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these environmental liabilities, there are uncertainties associated with environmental liabilities, and we can give no assurance that our estimate of any environmental liability will not increase or decrease in the future. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially 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.
We maintain a Corporate Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have designated EHS analysts who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

13.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 19.5 percent (provision on income) and 29.9 percent (provision on a loss) , respectively. The change was primarily driven by U.S. losses in the prior year and U.S. income in the current year, neither of which can be tax affected due to a full valuation allowance on our domestic deferred tax assets.

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


14.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that would occur related to the issuance of capital stock under stock option grants, performance awards and restricted stock units. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options, performance awards and restricted stock units.
For purposes of determining the number of diluted shares outstanding, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested performance awards and unvested restricted stock units by 1.1 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . Unexercised capital stock options, performance awards and restricted stock units of 0.8 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price, and therefore the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , the effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested performance awards and unvested restricted stock units was anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss in the period and therefore has been excluded from diluted shares outstanding as well as from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. We perform our annual impairment tests during the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process, unless there are impairment indicators based on the results of an ongoing cumulative qualitative assessment that warrant a test prior to that. We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill for each of our reporting units by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The fair values of our reporting units are determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based upon historical and projected financial information. We apply our best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of the financial projections used to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. We evaluate the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected financial information. This evaluation is sensitive to changes in market interest rates and other external factors.
Identifiable assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW
Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943 as a manufacturer of tungsten carbide metal cutting tooling. From this beginning, the Company has grown into a global leader in the development and application of tungsten carbides, ceramics, super-hard materials and solutions used in metal cutting and mission-critical wear applications to combat extreme conditions associated with wear fatigue, corrosion and high temperatures. The Company's reputation for material technology, metal cutting application knowledge, as well as expertise and innovation in the development of custom solutions and services, contributes to its leading position in its primary markets.
Our product offering includes a wide selection of standard and customized technologies for metalworking applications, such as turning, milling, hole making, tooling systems and services. End users of the Company's metalworking products include manufacturers engaged in a diverse array of industries including: the manufacturers of transportation vehicles and components, machine tools and light and heavy machinery; airframe and aerospace components; and energy-related components for the oil and gas industry, as well as power generation.
In addition, we produce specialized wear components and metallurgical powders that are used for custom-engineered and challenging applications. End users of the Company's products include producers and suppliers in equipment-intensive operations such as coal mining, road construction, quarrying, oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply.
Overall performance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 surpassed our expectations. On a consolidated basis, sales increased 13.7 percent , reflecting the sales growth in all segments, regions and end markets. Operating margin improved significantly to 10.4 percent from a 1.9 percent loss margin in the prior year quarter reflecting improvement in both gross margin and operating expense as a percentage of sales.
Our sales of $542.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 increased 13.7 percent compared to sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 , driven by organic sales growth of 13 percent and favorable currency exchange impact of 2 percent, partially offset by fewer business days impact of 1 percent compared to the prior year quarter. Every segment and every region reported increased sales and improved profitability. The Industrial, Infrastructure and Widia segments posted operating margins of 11.7 percent , 11.0 percent and 0.1 percent , respectively.
Operating income was $56.5 million , compared to a $9.2 million loss in the prior year quarter. Year-over-year comparative operating results reflect $24.8 million less restructuring and related charges in the current period, organic sales growth, incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $22 million, favorable mix and higher productivity and fixed cost absorption, partially offset by higher compensation expense, more overtime costs and higher raw material costs.
We reported current quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.48 , which include $0.07 per share of restructuring and related charges. The loss per diluted share of $0.27 in the prior year quarter included $0.38 per share of restructuring and related charges.
We substantially completed our existing restructuring programs in the quarter. The savings that we have realized from restructuring are the result of all programs that we had undertaken over the past 33 months. Approximate ongoing annualized savings for the programs are $165 million and inception to date total charges were $154.5 million . Pre-tax benefits from these restructuring actions were approximately $40 million in the current quarter, of which approximately $22 million were incremental to the same quarter one year ago. Refer to the Results of Continuing Operations section of Item 2 for further discussion and analysis of our restructuring programs.
The cost savings we achieved include only a small amount of the anticipated benefits from the Modernization initiative that we have planned, and the benefits from our ongoing product and process simplification initiatives. The results of those programs are anticipated to accrue to the Company over the next few years.
We had a net cash outflow from operating activities of $19.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to an net cash inflow from operating activities of $23.6 million during the prior year quarter. The change is due primarily to a net outflow from changes in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by the net inflow from net income with adjustments for non-cash items. Capital expenditures were $42.1 million and $42.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.
We invested further in technology and innovation to continue delivering high quality products to our customers. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 .

21

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)



Throughout the MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance. We also refer to a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), including organic sales growth. The explanation at the end of the MD&A provides the definition of this non-GAAP financial measures as well as details on the use and the derivation of these financial measures.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

SALES
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $542.5 million , an increase of $65.3 million or 13.7 percent , from $477.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in sales was driven by a 13 percent organic sales growth and a 2 percent favorable currency exchange impact, partially offset by a 1 percent decrease due to fewer business days. Excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales increased by approximately 24 percent in energy, 14 percent in earthworks, 10 percent in aerospace and defense, 7 percent in general engineering and 7 percent in transportation. On a regional basis excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales increased by 15 percent in Asia Pacific, 13 percent in the Americas and 8 percent in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $185.0 million , an increase of $41.5 million from $143.5 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to organic sales growth, incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $16 million, favorable mix, higher productivity and fixed cost absorption, favorable currency exchange impact of $3.1 million and $0.8 million less restructuring related charges, partially offset by higher compensation expense and raw material costs. The gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 34.1 percent , as compared to 30.1 percent generated in the prior year quarter.

OPERATING EXPENSE
Operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased slightly to $119.3 million compared to $119.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The decrease was primarily due to incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $7 million and $0.9 million less in restructuring-related charges, partially offset by higher compensation expense and an unfavorable foreign currency exchange impact of $1.6 million.

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
In prior years, we implemented restructuring actions to streamline the Company's cost structure. The purpose of these initiatives was to improve the alignment of our cost structure with the current operating environment through headcount reductions, as well as rationalization and consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions were substantially completed in the September quarter of fiscal 2018, were mostly cash expenditures and achieved annual run rate ongoing pre-tax savings of approximately $165 million.
We have recorded restructuring and related charges of $6.9 million and $31.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $5.5 million and $28.6 million , respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , an immaterial amount of restructuring charges was related to inventory disposals and were recorded in cost of goods sold. There were no restructuring charges related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of good sold during the three months ended September 30, 2017 . Restructuring-related charges of $1.3 million and $2.0 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $0.1 million and $1.1 million in operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.
Total restructuring and related charges since the inception of our restructuring plans through September 30, 2017 were $154.5 million . See Note 7 in our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Note 7).

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $7.1 million and $7.0 million , respectively.


22

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)



OTHER EXPENSE, NET
Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $0.1 million . Foreign currency transaction gains in the current period were offset by prior year income from transition services provided related to a prior divestiture.

INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 19.5 percent (provision on income) and 29.9 percent (provision on a loss) , respectively. The change was primarily driven by U.S. losses in the prior year and U.S. income in the current year, neither of which can be tax affected due to a full valuation allowance on our domestic deferred tax assets.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW

We operate three reportable segments consisting of Industrial, Widia and Infrastructure. Expenses that are not allocated are reported in Corporate. Segment determination is based upon the manner in which we organize segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance and the availability of separate financial results.
INDUSTRIAL
For the three month s ended September 30, 2017 , Industrial sales increased 11 percent from the prior year quarter. General engineering sales continue to experience growth from sales in the indirect channel across all regions and positive performance in the light and general engineering sector in EMEA. Transportation sales in the quarter to tier suppliers and OEMs grew in Asia Pacific and EMEA. Oil and gas drilling sales in the Americas continue to provide overall growth in energy, coupled with increases in power generation sales globally. Conditions continue to be favorable in the aerospace sector, with global sales related to engine growth being supplemented by increasing demand related to frames in the Americas. The sales increases in Asia Pacific and EMEA were primarily driven by the transportation and general engineering end markets. The sales increase in the Americas was primarily driven by the performance in the energy, general engineering and aerospace and defense end markets.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , Industrial operating income increased by $29.3 million , driven primarily by $14.7 million less restructuring and related charges in the current quarter, incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $13 million and organic sales growth, partially offset by unfavorable mix and higher compensation expense. Industrial operating margin was 11.7 percent compared with 2.1 percent in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations is the primary source of funding for capital expenditures. Year to date September 30, 2017 cash flow used for operating activities was $19.9 million , primarily due to a net outflow from changes in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by the net inflow from net income with adjustments for non-cash items.
Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2016 (Credit Agreement) is used to augment cash from operations and is an additional source of funds. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit loans of up to $600.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the Credit Agreement is based upon the type of borrowing under the facility and may be (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (2) the greater of the prime rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus an applicable margin, or (3) fixed as negotiated by us. The Credit Agreement matures in April 2021. We had no borrowings outstanding on our Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2017 .
The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the Credit agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2017 . For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , average daily borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were approximately $3.5 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.
We consider substantially all of the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that have not previously been taxed in the U.S. to be permanently reinvested. As of September 30, 2017 , cash and cash equivalents of $82.3 million and short-term intercompany advances made by our foreign subsidiaries to our U.S. parent of $9.5 million would not be available for use in the U.S. on a long-term basis without incurring U.S. federal and state income tax consequences. We have not, nor do we anticipate the need to, repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business or associated with our domestic debt service requirements.
At September 30, 2017 , cash and cash equivalents were $110.7 million , Total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,062.0 million and total debt was $696.6 million . Our current senior credit ratings are at investment grade levels. We believe that our current financial position, liquidity and credit ratings provide access to the capital markets. We believe that we have sufficient resources available to meet cash requirements for the next 12 months. We continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and the condition of the capital markets, as well as the counterparty risk of our credit providers.
There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2017 .
Cash Flow (Used for) Provided by Operating Activities
During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , cash flow used for operating activities was $19.9 million , compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $23.6 million for the prior year period. Cash flow used for operating activities for the current year period consisted of changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $97.6 million and net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $77.7 million . Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $62.7 million , an increase in inventories of $19.7 million due in part to increasing volumes and a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $8.1 million .
During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , cash flow provided by operating activities for the period consisted of net loss and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $14.4 million , and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an inflow of $9.2 million . Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $23.1 million due to lower sales volume. Offsetting these cash inflows were a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $5.6 million and a net decrease of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.1 million primarily driven by lower accrued compensation, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Cash flow used for investing activities was $41.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , compared to $41.0 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $41.7 million , which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $41.1 million , which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades.

Cash Flow Used for Financing Activities
Cash flow used for financing activities was $20.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $25.1 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for financing activities included $16.2 million of cash dividends paid to Shareholders and $4.0 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , cash flow used for financing activities included $16.0 million of cash dividends paid to Shareholders, a $6.6 million payment on the remaining contingent consideration related to a prior acquisition, $2.1 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans and $0.4 million net decrease in borrowings.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital was $678.9 million at September 30, 2017 , an increase of $26.5 million from $652.4 million at June 30, 2017 . The increase in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts payable of $29.4 million , an increase in inventories of $27.0 million due in part to increasing volumes, a decrease in accrued expenses of $20.6 million driven by payroll timing and lower accrued vacation pay, a decrease in other current liabilities of $15.8 million due primarily to bonus payments and restructuring payments and an increase in other current assets of $9.7 million due primarily to higher prepaid taxes other than income and higher prepaid maintenance. Partially offsetting these items was a decrease cash and cash equivalents of $79.9 million . Currency exchange rate effects increased working capital by a total of $9.4 million, the impact of which is included in the aforementioned changes.
Property, plant and equipment, net increased $11.1 million from $744.4 million at June 30, 2017 to $755.5 million at September 30, 2017 , primarily due to capital additions of $30.6 million and a positive currency exchange impact of $7.5 million during the current period. This increase is partially offset by depreciation expense of $22.8 million and impairment related to restructuring programs of $2.4 million.
At September 30, 2017 , other assets were $568.3 million , an increase of $11.1 million from $557.2 million at June 30, 2017 . The primary drivers for the increase were an increase in other assets of $9.5 million primarily due to an increase in pension plan assets and an increase in goodwill of $3.3 million due to favorable currency exchange effects. This increase was partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in other intangible assets, which was due to amortization expense of $3.7 million , partially offset by favorable currency exchange effects of $0.9 million.
Long-term debt and capital leases increased by $0.4 million to $695.4 million at September 30, 2017 from $695.0 million at June 30, 2017 .
Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,062.0 million at September 30, 2017 , an increase of $44.7 million from $1,017.3 million at June 30, 2017 . The increase was primarily due to net income attributable to Kennametal of $39.2 million , capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $2.5 million , reclassification of net pension and other postretirement benefit loss of $1.8 million and favorable currency exchange of $19.6 million , partially offset by cash dividends paid to Shareholders of $16.2 million and unrecognized net pension and other postretirement benefit loss of $2.0 million .

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The operation of our business has exposed us to certain liabilities and compliance costs related to environmental matters. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at certain of our locations.
Superfund Sites Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), under which we have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) with respect to environmental remedial costs at certain Superfund sites. We have evaluated our claims and liabilities associated with these Superfund sites based upon best currently available information. We believe our environmental accruals are adequate to cover our portion of the environmental remedial costs at the Superfund sites where we have been designated a PRP, to the extent these expenses are probable and reasonably estimable.
Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , the balances of these reserves were $12.6 million and $12.4 million , respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.

27

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)



The reserves we have established for environmental liabilities represent our best current estimate of the costs of addressing all identified environmental situations, based on our review of currently available evidence, and taking into consideration our prior experience in remediation and that of other companies, as well as public information released by the USEPA, other governmental agencies, and by the PRP groups in which we are participating. Although the reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these environmental liabilities, there are uncertainties associated with environmental liabilities, and we can give no assurance that our estimate of any environmental liability will not increase or decrease in the future. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially 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.
We maintain a Corporate Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department, to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have designated EHS analysts who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Effective July 1, 2017 with the adoption of new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance on subsequent measurement of inventory, non-LIFO inventories are now stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. LIFO inventories continue to be stated at the lower of cost or market.
There have been no other changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2017 .

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of new accounting standards.

RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL MEASURES NOT DEFINED BY U.S. GAAP In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP financial measure. We believe that these measures provide useful perspective on underlying business trends and results and provide a supplemental measure of year-over-year results. The non-GAAP financial measures described below are used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for business strategy purposes. These measures may be useful to investors as they provide supplemental information about business performance and provide investors a view of our business results through the eyes of management. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered by the user in place of the related GAAP financial measure, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items or events being adjusted.
Organic sales growth Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures, business days and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. Management believes this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis.
Reconciliations of organic sales growth to the most closely related GAAP financial measure, sales growth, are as follows:

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures since June 30, 2017 .
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). The Company's disclosure controls were designed to provide a reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance at September 30, 2017 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
