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: economic recession; our ability to achieve all anticipated benefits of restructuring initiatives; our foreign operations and international markets, such as 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; energy costs; commodity prices; 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. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

1.ORGANIZATION

Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Kennametal or the Company) are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence, as well as our technological expertise and innovation we deliver in our products and services, helps us to achieve a leading position in our primary markets. End users of our products include metalworking and machinery manufacturers and suppliers across a diverse array of industries, including the aerospace, defense, transportation, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery, as well as producers and suppliers in a number of equipment-intensive industries such as coal mining, road construction and quarrying, as well as oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply. Our end users' applications range from airframes to mining operations, engines to oil wells and turbochargers to processing.
In order to take advantage of the growth opportunities of our WIDIA brand, we implemented a new operating structure at the beginning of fiscal 2017. A key attribute of the new structure is the establishment of the Widia operating segment. In order to better leverage the opportunities in this business, in addition to being more agile and competitive in the marketplace, we are placing higher levels of focus, determination and leadership in this business. The Industrial and Widia segments in 2017 were formed from the 2016 Industrial segment.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 20152016 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 20152016 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 ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2016 and 2015 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 20162017 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016.2017. 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 April 2014,November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on reporting discontinued operationsbalance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The amendments in this guidance require that deferred tax liabilities and disclosuresassets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of disposalsfinancial position, in comparison to the previous practice of componentsseparating deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts on the balance sheet. We adopted this guidance July 1, 2016 on a prospective basis. Therefore, prior period balance sheets were not retrospectively adjusted. Current deferred tax assets of an entity. Under$26.7 million and current deferred tax liabilities of $0.6 million are reported in the June 30, 2016 balance sheet.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance only disposals representingon the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a strategic shift in operations shouldrecognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as discontinued operations. Additionally,a direct reduction from the guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operationscarrying amount of that will provide financial statement usersdebt liability, consistent with more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations. The guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting.debt discounts. This guidance was effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2015. The transaction outlined2016 and was retrospectively applied to all periods presented. Debt issuance costs of $5.3 million and $6.0 million are reported as direct reductions of the carrying amounts of debt liabilities in Note 5 was evaluated under this guidance.
Issuedthe balance sheet as of December 31, and June 30, 2016, respectively.
In April 2016,2015, the FASB issued guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing as part of Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments in this update clarify identifying performance obligationsprovide guidance to customers about treatment of costs as either capitalized and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas.amortized as an intangible asset or expensed as incurred as a service contract. The amendments provide clarification that costs in arrangements that include software license should be capitalized and amortized, and costs in arrangements that do not include a software license should be expensed as incurred. This standard iswas effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2018, in conjunction with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” We are in the process of assessing the impact the2016 and was applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance willdid not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Issued
In MarchOctober 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify equity-based awardon the accounting and presentation.for income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The guidance impactsclarifies that an entity should recognize the income tax accounting related to equity-based awards,consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows.transfer occurs. This standardguidance is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2017.2018. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016,May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” This ASU replaces nearly all existing U.S. GAAP guidance on principal versus agent considerations in reporting revenue gross versus net. This guidance is intended to improverecognition. The standard prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue, the operability and understandabilityapplication of which will require significant judgment. It also requires additional disclosures. We will adopt this standard on July 1, 2018. We have commenced our assessment of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. As this update servesnew standard and developed a project plan to clarify existing guidance, it is not expected to have a materialguide the implementation. This project plan includes analyzing the standard’s impact on our condensed consolidatedcustomer arrangements, comparing our historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard and identifying potential differences from applying the requirements of the new standard. We have not yet determined the impact of adoption on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting, which replaces the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This standard is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2019. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the ninethree months ended MarchDecember 31, 2016,2015, Kennametal completed the transaction to sell allsale of the outstanding capital stock of: Kennametal Extrude Hone LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kennametal Stellite S.r.l. (Bellusco, Italy), Kennametal Stellite S.p.A. (Milan, Italy), Kennametal Stellite GmbH (Koblenz, Germany); and all of the assets of the businesses of: Tricon (manufacturing operations in Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; and Elko, Nevada), Landis (manufacturing operation in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania); and all of the assets located at the Biel, Switzerland manufacturing facility ("non-core businesses") to Madison Industries for an aggregate price of $61.1 million, cash, net of cash.net. A portion of the transaction proceeds were used to pay down revolver debt and the remaining balance is beingwas held as cash on hand.

The net book value of these non-core businesses was $191.9 million, which includes the impact of cumulative translation adjustments andincluded a refinement to our estimated working capital adjustment. We recognized a pre-tax loss on the sale of $133.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015, which included the impact of estimated working capital adjustments, deal costs and transaction costs. We recorded a pre-tax net gain on divestiture during the three months ended March 31, 2016 of approximately $2.6 million, which consists primarily of the write-off of the currency translation adjustments of a legal entity liquidated in the March quarter, partially offset by a refinement to our estimated working capital adjustment.The pre-tax net loss on divestiture during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 is $130.8 million, of which $127.2$126.0 million and $3.6$7.3 million were recorded in the Infrastructure and Industrial segments, respectively. The pre-tax income attributable to the non-core businesses was assessed and determined to be immaterial for disclosure for the periods presented.

6.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.

There have been no changes in classification and transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy in the current period. The fair value of contingent consideration payable that was classified as Level 3 relatesat June 30, 2016 related to our probability assessments of expected future milestone targets, primarily associated with product delivery, related to a previous acquisition. During the the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Company paid the remaining $6.6 million in conjunction with achieved milestone targets. The payment is recorded in the financing activities section of our condensed consolidated statement of cash flow for the six months ended December 31, 2016 under the caption "other." The contingent consideration is to be paid over the next 9 months and iswas recorded in other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company reassessed this contingent consideration and determined that an adjustment of $1.4 million to reduce the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was necessary during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 due to a return of inventory to the seller during the period.sheet at June 30, 2016. No other changes in the expected outcome have occurred during the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2016.

7.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 (income) expense, net.

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 at maturity are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized as a component of other (income) 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 MarchDecember 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015,2016, was $63.8$52.7 million and $53.8$53.3 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 MarchDecember 31, 2016, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months $0.4$1.3 million of income on outstanding derivatives.

11.INVENTORIES
We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 4546 percent and 4744 percent of total inventories at MarchDecember 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015,2016, 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.
Inventories consisted of the following:

 $458,830
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company identified and recorded an adjustment to correct an error impacting the excess and obsolete inventory reserve as of September 30, 2016. This resulted in an increase of $1.4 million to cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2016 that should have been recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2016. There was no impact to cost of goods sold for the six months ended December 31, 2016 nor to inventories as of December 31, 2016. After evaluation, the Company determined that the impact was not material to the previously issued interim financial statements.

12.LONG-TERM DEBT
Our$600 million five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 20132016 (Credit Agreement) permits 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 affirmativerestrictive and negativeaffirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of MarchDecember 31, 2016. We had no borrowings and $42.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of MarchDecember 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.2016. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

On April 15, 2016, we entered into an amendment to our The Credit Agreement that extends the tenor for a new five-year term tomatures in April 2021. The prior maturity was scheduled for April 2018. The maximum leverage ratio was increased for a defined, limited period under the new amendment in order to enhance liquidity and increase operating flexibility. Further, the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) definition was amended to allow for up to $120 million of aggregate cash restructuring payment add-backs through December 31, 2017. Other material provisions, including the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, remain unchanged.

Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $665.0$696.6 million and $698.0$704.0 million at MarchDecember 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015,2016, respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of MarchDecember 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015,2016, respectively.

13.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 WeAmong other environmental laws, we are involved as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at various sitessubject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund), 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. For certainWe 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 thesethe environmental remedial costs at the Superfund sites where we have evaluatedbeen designated a PRP, to the claimsextent these expenses are probable and potential liabilities and have determined that neither are material, individually or in the aggregate. For certain other sites, proceedings are in the very early stages and have not yet progressed to a point where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRPs.reasonably estimable.
Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At MarchDecember 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015,2016, the balances of these reserves were $12.5$12.1 million and $12.6$12.5 million,. respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.

Table of Contents

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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 coordinators 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.

14.INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2016 and 2015 were 24.750.9 percent (provision on income) and 64.429.7 percent (benefit on a loss), respectively. The effective income tax ratesrate for the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2016 was not meaningful and 2015 were 28.0was 27.7 percent (benefit on a loss) and 5.7 percent (benefit on a loss), respectively.for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The change in both periods was primarily driven by thean asset impairment charges recordedcharge; the tax impact of the divestiture of non-core businesses in the prior year; losses in the U.S. that cannot be tax affected in the current year; jurisdictional mix of earnings; and prior fiscal years, the tax impact on the sale of certain non-core businesses, lower relative U.S. current year earnings compared with the resteffect of the worldR&D legislation enacted in the current periods where the tax rates are generally lower and a favorable impact in the current quarter related to a U.S. provision to return adjustment. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 also includes the favorable effects of the permanent extension of the credit for increasing research activities contained in the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 which occurred in the second quarter of this fiscalprior year.

15.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 and restricted stock units. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options and restricted stock units.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


unexercised capital stock options and unvested restricted stock units was anti-dilutive as a result of net losses in the periods and therefore has been excluded from diluted shares outstanding as well as from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For purposes of determining the number of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2016, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested restricted stockperformance awards and unvested restricted stock units by 0.40.8 million shares. Unexercised capital stock options, performance awards and restricted stock units of 1.7 million shares for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2016. Unexercised capital stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of 3.1 million shares 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 nine months ended March 31, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, the effect of unexercised capital stock options and unvested restricted stock units was anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss in the periods and therefore has been excluded from diluted shares outstanding as well as from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

18.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.
At the beginning of fiscal 2017, we reorganized our operating structure in a manner that changed the composition of our reporting units. The Industrial and Widia reporting units in fiscal 2017 were formed from the fiscal 2016 Industrial reporting unit. In connection with this reporting unit realignment, during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 we updated our goodwill impairment assessment based on a quantitative analysis. We evaluated the goodwill of our reporting units immediately prior to and after the realignment and concluded in both cases that there was no impairment. We allocated our goodwill from the former Industrial segment to the current Industrial and Widia segments using a relative fair value approach. The restated Industrial reporting unit passed the goodwill impairment test with fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value. The new Widia reporting unit's fair value approximates its carrying value.
See Note 19 for further discussion regarding the Company's segments.
We are currently exploring strategic alternatives for one of our non-core Infrastructure businesses. The estimated net book value of the business is approximately $30 million as of December 31, 2016. As the strategic direction has not yet been determined for this business, the Company cannot determine if additional impairment charges will be incurred.

Fiscal 2016 December Quarter Impairment Charge
Late in the December quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company experienced a further unexpected deterioration in customer demand in many of its end markets and certain geographies. Industrial production indices in the U.S. and China declined, as well as further reductions in mining and oil and gas activity. In view of these declines and the significant impact on our near term financial forecasts as well as a significant and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price, we determined an interim impairment test of our goodwill and other long-lived assets of our Industrial and Infrastructure reporting units was required. As a result of this interim test,previously disclosed, we recorded a preliminary non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2015 of $106.1 million in the Infrastructure segment, of which $105.7 million was for goodwill and $0.4 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. We also recorded a preliminary non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2015 of $2.3 million in the Industrial segment for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. These impairment charges arewere recorded in restructuring and asset impairment charges in our condensed consolidated statements of income. There is $302.1 million of goodwill at the Industrial reporting unit. The fair value substantially exceeds the carrying value. The Infrastructure segment has no remaining goodwill recorded.

Identifiable assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. During the December quarter end, we performed an interim review of our identifiable assets with finite lives and preliminarily determined that the assets were not impaired. During the March quarter of fiscal 2016, we completed the finalization of fair values related to intangibles and property, plant and equipment related to the aforementioned 2016 charges. We also completed a review of our identifiable assets with finite lives and determined that the assets were not impaired.

Divestiture Impact on Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
During the ninethree months ended MarchDecember 31, 2016,2015, we completed the sale of non-core businesses, see Note 5. As a result of this transaction, goodwill decreased by $1.1 million and $6.5 million in our Industrial and Infrastructure segments, respectively. These decreases arewere recorded in the loss on divestiture account in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

2015 March Quarter Impairment Charge
As previously disclosed, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $152.9 million in the Infrastructure segment, of which $152.5 million was for goodwill and $0.4 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset.

In addition, we recorded an additional $6.8 million charge during the three months ended March 31, 2015 for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset based upon completion of the December valuation.

2015 December Quarter Impairment Charge
As previously disclosed, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2014 of $376.5 million in the Infrastructure segment, of which $375.0 million was for goodwill and $1.5 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset.

The further acceleration or extended persistence of the current downturn in the global end markets could have a further negative impact on our business and financial performance. We cannot provide assurance that we will achieve all of the anticipated benefits from restructuring actions we have taken and expect to continue to take. If we are unable to effectively restructure our operations in the light of evolving market conditions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are currently exploring strategic alternatives for a remaining non-core Infrastructure business. The estimated net book value of the business is approximately $40 million as of March 31, 2016. As the strategic direction has not yet been determined for this business, the business is classified as held and used, and the Company cannot determine if additional impairment charges will be incurred.

We believe we are one of the largest global providers of consumable metalcuttingmetal cutting tools and tooling supplies.

Our sales of $497.8$487.6 million for the quarter ended MarchDecember 31, 2016 decreased 227 percent compared to sales for the quarter ended MarchDecember 31, 2015. The Company grew organically for the first time since the September quarter of fiscal 2015, and the Infrastructure segment completed the quarter without organic sales decline for the first time since the June quarter of fiscal 2014. Industrial grew organically for the second consecutive quarter, benefiting from stability in the indirect channel stock levels and favorable conditions in the aerospace sector. Widia also had organic growth this quarter, in part due to strong performance in Asia.
Operating income was $27.3$24.0 million, compared to operating loss $120.4of $234.0 million in the prior year quarter. Our operating results increased due primarily toquarter, which included loss on divestiture of $133.3 million and goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges inof $108.5 million. Additionally, year-over-year comparative operating results reflect incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $16 million, higher fixed cost absorption and productivity, the prior period,positive effects of lower raw material costs and incremental restructuring benefits in the current period,sales volume growth, partially offset partially by the effectsnegative impacts of the organic sales decline, unfavorable price and mix lower fixed cost absorption and unfavorable currency exchange.

We reported current quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.20, which includes $0.18 per share ofmore restructuring and related charges in the current quarter tax impactperiod.
Our cost reduction initiatives are mitigating challenging end market conditions. As of December 31, 2016, we have identified 85 percent of the second quarter asset impairment chargestargeted employment reduction of $0.02 per share and a net gain of $0.03 per share from divestiture.

Our operating flexibility was enhanced with an amendment1,000, corresponding to our revolving credit facility that extends maturity from April 2018 to April 2021. Similar to the prior agreement, the amendment permits revolving loans of up to $600 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The definitionapproximately 72 percent of the maximum leverage ratio was increased under the 2016 Amendmentestimated annualized savings associated with this initiative. Further, our modernization and end-to-end initiatives are progressing as definedplanned, which we expect will deliver higher profitability in the agreement in order to increase operating flexibility. Further, the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) definition in the 2016 Amendment now allows for up to $120 million of aggregate cash restructuring payment add-backs through December 31, 2017. Other material provisions, including the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, remain unchanged.

We generated cash flow from operating activities of $145.4 million and $219.6 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to lower cash earnings and higher restructuring and pension payments, partially offset by reductions of working capital. Capital expenditures were $83.3 million and $77.6 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

We invested further in technology and innovation to continue delivering a high level of new products to our customers. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $9.6 million and $29.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively.

future.
The permanent savings that we are realizing from restructuring are the result of programs that we have undertaken over the past 3024 months. Pre-tax benefits from these restructuring actions reachedwere approximately $20$24 million in the current quarter, due to rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities and employment and cost reduction programs, of which approximately $11$16 million were incremental to the same quarter one year ago. Approximate savings since inceptionRefer to the Results of Continuing Operations section of Item 2 for further discussion and analysis of our restructuring programs.
In addition to these restructuring programs, our product line simplification, end-to-end and factory modernization initiatives are underway. We will be monitoring future sales levels as certain indicators are showing more rapid improvements than previously expected. If our modernization efforts increase pressure on our ability to maintain timely order fulfillment in certain locations, then we may be required to sustain higher levels of direct hourly employment in those locations than currently anticipated.
We reported current quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.09, which includes $0.13 per share of restructuring programs reached approximately $97 millionand related charges and $0.02 per share associated with recording a valuation allowance with regards to deferred tax assets in Australia. Loss per diluted share of $2.12 in the quarter.prior year quarter included $1.20 per share loss on divestiture, $0.98 per share of goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges and $0.08 per share of restructuring and related charges.
We generated cash flow from operating activities of $46.6 million and $104.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to comparatively lower reductions in primary working capital and lower cash earnings, partially offset by lower payments for taxes. Capital expenditures were $70.6 million and $61.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

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



We invested further in technology and innovation to continue meeting our customers' needs. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $9.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016.
The following narrative provides further discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, as well as other pertinent matters.

NEW OPERATING STRUCTURE IMPLEMENTED IN FISCAL 2017

In order to take advantage of the growth opportunities of our WIDIA brand, we implemented a new operating structure in fiscal 2017.
A key attribute of the new structure is the establishment of the Widia operating segment. In order to better leverage the opportunities in this business, in addition to being more agile and competitive in the marketplace, we are placing higher levels of focus, determination and leadership in the business. The newly formed Industrial and Widia segments were formed from the previously reported Industrial segment. Amounts for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015 and as of June 30, 2016 have been restated to reflect the change in reportable operating segments.
We now have three reportable operating segments going forward: Industrial, Widia and Infrastructure.
In connection with this change, we updated our goodwill impairment assessment based on a quantitative analysis during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We evaluated the goodwill of our reporting units immediately prior to and after the realignment and concluded in both cases that there was no impairment. We allocated our goodwill from the former Industrial segment to the current Industrial and Widia segments using a relative fair value approach. The restated Industrial reporting unit passed the goodwill impairment test with fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value. The new Widia reporting unit's fair value approximates its carrying value. The amount of goodwill allocated to the Widia reporting unit was $27.0 million.
We completed Step 1 of the Widia goodwill impairment test using both an income approach and a market approach.  The discounted cash flow method was used to measure the fair value of our equity under the income approach. A terminal value utilizing a constant growth rate of cash flows was used to calculate a terminal value after the explicit projection period. The estimates and assumptions used in our calculations include revenue growth rates, expense growth rates, expected capital expenditures to determine projected cash flows, expected tax rates and an estimated discount rate to determine present value of expected cash flows. These estimates are based on historical experiences, our projections of future operating activity and our weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"). The discount rate used was 14.5 percent. In order to determine the discount rate, the Company uses a market perspective WACC approach. The WACC is calculated incorporating weighted average returns on debt and equity from market participants. Therefore, changes in the market, which are beyond the control of the Company, may have an impact on future calculations of estimated fair value. Management forecasts were used for the years ending June 30, 2017-2021, with a residual period growth rate of 3.0 percent. The tax rate used was 25.0 percent. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings of comparable publicly traded companies and comparable transactions of similar companies.
Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of our reporting units may include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, specifically, a decrease in sales volume driven by a prolonged weakness in consumer demand or other competitive pressures adversely affecting our long term volume trends, unfavorable working capital changes and an inability to successfully achieve our cost savings targets; (ii) inability to achieve all of the anticipated benefits from restructuring actions assumed; (iii) an economic recovery that significantly differs from our assumptions in timing and/or degree; (iv) volatility in the equity and debt markets or other country specific factors which could result in a higher discount rate; and (v) sensitivity to market transaction multiples.

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



We have recorded restructuring and related charges of $43.4 million and $24.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $37.3 million and $12.6 million, of which expense of $0.3 million and benefits of $0.3 million were related to inventory and were recorded in cost of goods sold, respectively. Restructuring-related charges of $4.1 million and $3.6 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $2.0 million and $7.8 million in operating expense for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

We are implementing restructuring actions to streamline the Company's cost structure. These initiatives are expected 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 are currently anticipated to deliver annual ongoing pre-tax savings of $147 million to $162 million once completed by December of fiscal 2019 and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures. The total pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be in the range of $155 million to $175 million.
Asset Impairment Charges
We recorded non-cash pre-tax asset impairment charges of $108.5 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2015. See Note 18 in our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Note 18).

OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME), NET
Other expense, net for the three months ended December 31, 2016, was $0.7 million compared to other income, net of $0.7 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was primarily due to losses on derivatives.
Other expense, net for the six months ended December 31, 2016, was $0.8 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to losses on derivatives, partially offset by loss on sale of assets in the prior year and income from transition services provided to the acquirer of our non-core businesses.

INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were 50.9 percent (provision on income) and 29.7 percent (benefit on a loss), respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was not meaningful and was 27.7 percent (benefit on a loss) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The change in both periods was primarily driven by an asset impairment charge; the tax impact of the divestiture of non-core businesses in the prior year; losses in the U.S. that cannot be tax affected in the current year; jurisdictional mix of earnings; and the effect of the R&D legislation enacted in the prior year.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW

Phase 1
We are implementing restructuring actions to achieve synergies across Kennametal as a result of the Tungsten Materials Business (TMB) acquisition by consolidating operations among both organizations, reducing administrative overhead and leveraging the supply chain. These restructuring actions are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2016 and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures.
Phase 2
We are implementing restructuring actions to streamline the Company's cost structure. These initiatives are expected to enhance operational efficiencies through the rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities as well as other employment and cost reduction programs. These restructuring actions are expected to be completed by December of fiscal 2019 and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures.
Phase 3
We are implementing restructuring actions to further enhance operational efficiencies through an enterprise-wide cost reduction program as well as the consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions are expected to be completed by March of fiscal 2017 and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures.
Asset Impairment Charges
We recorded no asset impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2016. We recorded non-cash pre-tax asset impairment charges of $108.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2016. We recorded non-cash pre-tax asset impairment charges of $159.7 million and $541.7 million duringAmounts for the three and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2015. See Note 18 for Industrial and Widia have been restated to reflect the change in our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Note 18).
The further acceleration or extended persistence of the current downturn in the global end markets could have a further negative impact on our business and financial performance. We cannot provide assurance that we will achieve all of the anticipated benefits from restructuring actions we have taken and will continue to take. If we are unable to effectively restructure our operations in the light of evolving market conditions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are currently exploring strategic alternatives for a remaining non-core Infrastructure business. The estimated net book value of the business is approximately $40 million as of March 31, 2016. As the strategic direction has not yet been determined for this business, the business is classified as held and used, and the Company cannot determine if additional impairment charges will be incurred.reportable operating segments.

The sales increase in the Americas was primarily driven by the performance in the general engineering end market, partially offset by decreases in the transportation end market. The sales decrease in Europe was primarily driven by the performance in the transportation end market, offset partially by an increase in the aerospace and defense end market.

INTEREST EXPENSEWIDIA
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $0.6 million to $7.1 million as compared to $7.8 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $3.0 million to $20.9 million as compared to $23.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense in both periods was primarily due to lower year-over-year borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET
Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $1.9 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior year quarter. Income in the current year from the transition services related to the divestiture of non-core businesses, partially offset by lower interest income contributed to the year-over-year change.
Other income, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, was $1.6 million compared to other expense, net of less than $0.1 million. Current period derivative gains were offset by a loss on sale of assets and lower interest income.

INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 24.7 percent (provision on income) and 64.4 percent (benefit a loss), respectively. The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 28.0 percent (benefit on a loss) and 5.7 percent (benefit on a loss), respectively. The change in both periods was primarily driven by the asset impairment charges recorded in the current and prior fiscal years, the tax impact on the sale of certain non-core businesses, lower relative U.S. current year earnings compared with the rest of the world where the tax rates are generally lower and a favorable impact in the current quarter related to a U.S. provision to return adjustment. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 also includes the favorable effects of the permanent extension of the credit for increasing research activities contained in the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 which occurred in the second quarter of this fiscal year.

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



In April 2016, we took additional steps to enhance our liquidity and strengthen our financial position through entering into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (2016 Amendment). The 2016 Amendment extends the maturity of the Credit Agreement from April 2018 to April 2021. The definition of the maximum leverage ratio was increased under the 2016 Amendment as defined in the agreement in order to increase operating flexibility. Further, the EBITDA definition in the 2016 Amendment now allows for up to $120 million of aggregate cash restructuring payment add-backs through December 31, 2017. Other material provisions, including the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, remain unchanged.

Except as noted below, weWe 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 MarchDecember 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents of $53.0$44.0 million and short-term intercompany advances made by our foreign subsidiaries to our U.S. parent of $39.5 million would not be available for use in the U.S. on a long-termlong term basis without incurring U.S. federal and state income tax consequences. We have not, repatriated, 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. Notwithstanding the above, we redeployed cash from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries related to the transaction specified in Note 5. As such, the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 includes a discrete tax charge of $4.2 million related to this change in assertion with respect to a portion of our foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings, which are no longer considered permanently reinvested. The remaining undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries continue to be indefinitely reinvested and 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.

At MarchDecember 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $136.6$102.0 million, total debt, including notes payable, was $703.9$696.6 million and total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,144.2$902.8 million.

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



FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital was $581.6 million at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $66.5 million from $648.1 million at June 30, 2016. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $59.6 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $31.4 million due to lower sales volume, a decrease in deferred income taxes of $26.7 million due to the impact of prospective adoption of a new accounting standard requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as long-term and a decrease in inventories of $8.9 million. Partially offsetting these items were an increase in other current assets of $23.1 million as a result of the reclassification of $14 million prepaid taxes from noncurrent to current as we expect to receive a refund in the next 12 months, a decrease in accrued expenses of $14.7 million driven by payroll timing and lower accrued vacation pay, a decrease in accounts payable of $13.2 million as a result of both lower volumes and our focus on working capital management and a decrease in other current liabilities of $11.7 million due primarily to the payment to relieve the remaining contingent consideration related to a prior year acquisition and lower accrued compensation. Currency exchange rate effects decreased working capital by $18.4 million.
Property, plant and equipment, net decreased $5.5 million from $730.6 million at June 30, 2016 to $725.1 million at December 31, 2016, primarily due to depreciation expense of $46.0 million, a negative currency exchange impact of $12.0 million during the current period and disposals of $3.5 million. These decreases are partially offset by capital expenditures net of $76.3$70.6 million, which consistedincludes $15.4 million change in accounts payable related to purchases of property, plant and equipment.
At December 31, 2016, other assets were $557.9 million, an increase of $1.1 million from $556.8 million at June 30, 2016. The primary driver for the increase was an increase in deferred income taxes of $19.9 million due in part to the impact of prospective adoption of a new accounting standard requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as long-term. This increase was partially offset by a $9.9 million decrease in other intangible assets, which was due to amortization expense of $8.4 million and unfavorable currency exchange effects of $1.5 million, and a $6.5 million decrease in goodwill due to currency exchange effects.
Long-term debt and capital leases increased by $0.8 million to $694.3 million at December 31, 2016 from $693.5 million at June 30, 2016.
Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $902.8 million at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $61.5 million from $964.3 million at June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable currency exchange of equipment upgrades.$40.3 million, cash dividends paid to Shareholders of $32.0 million and net loss attributable to Kennametal of $14.4 million, partially offset by capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $14.5 million, unrecognized net pension and other postretirement benefit gain of $4.1 million and reclassification of net pension and other postretirement benefit loss of $3.6 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 (Superfund), 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 December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the balances of these reserves were $12.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.

Cash Flow Used for Financing Activities
Cash flow used for financing activities was $94.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $164.8 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for financing activities primarily included $48.4 million net decrease in borrowings and $47.8 million of cash dividends paid to Shareholders. These cash flows were partially offset by $1.7 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, cash flow used for financing activities included $129.0 million net decrease in borrowings and $42.7 million of cash dividends paid to Shareholders. These cash flows were partially offset by $11.0 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital was $677.8 million at March 31, 2016, a decrease of $98.0 million from $775.8 million at June 30, 2015. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in inventory of $90.1 million due primarily to lower work in process, raw materials and finished goods as a result of our focus on working capital management and a decrease in accounts receivable of $79.5 million due to lower sales volume. Partially offsetting these items were an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $31.1 million; a decrease in other current liabilities of $26.1 million due primarily to lower restructuring liabilities and lower accrued compensation; a decrease in accounts payable of $18.0 million as a result of both lower volumes and our focus on working capital management; and a decrease in accrued expenses of $9.7 million driven by payroll timing and lower accrued vacation pay. Currency exchange effects accounted for $12.1 million of the working capital decrease, and $32.9 million of the decrease in working capital is related to the sale of non-core businesses.

Property, plant and equipment, net decreased $90.3 million from $815.8 million at June 30, 2015 to $725.5 million at March 31, 2016, primarily due to $67.6 million sold as part of sale of non-core businesses, depreciation expense of $73.3 million, unfavorable currency exchange impact of $4.5 million during the current period and disposals of $5.1 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $83.3 million, which includes $16.4 million change in accounts payable related to purchases of property, plant and equipment.

At March 31, 2016, other assets were $667.1 million, a decrease of $108.0 million from $775.2 million at June 30, 2015. The primary drivers for the decrease were a decrease in goodwill of $115.3 million and a decrease in other intangible assets of $74.0 million. The change in goodwill was due to a goodwill impairment charge of $105.7 million in the Infrastructure segment, $7.5 million of goodwill written off as part of the sale of non-core businesses and $2.0 million of unfavorable currency exchange. The change in other intangible assets was due primarily to $52.7 million intangibles sold as part of the sale of non-core businesses, amortization expense of $16.3 million and unfavorable currency exchange effects of $0.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by $51.7 million increase in deferred income taxes.

Long-term debt and capital leases decreased by $36.1 million to $699.8 million at March 31, 2016 from $735.9 million at June 30, 2015. This change was driven primarily by the $42.8 million decrease of borrowings outstanding on the revolver.

Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,144.2 million at March 31, 2016, a decrease of $201.6 million from $1,345.8 million at June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to net loss attributable to Kennametal of $159.5 million, unfavorable currency exchange of $5.7 million and cash dividends paid to Shareholders of $47.8 million, partially offset by capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $11.2 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 We are involved as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at various sites designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as Superfund sites. For certain of these sites, we have evaluated the claims and potential liabilities and have determined that neither are material, individually or in the aggregate. For certain other sites, proceedings are in the very early stages and have not yet progressed to a point where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRPs.

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



Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the balances of these reserves were $12.5 million and $12.6 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 coordinators 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
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2015.2016.

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.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures since June 30, 2015.2016.
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 MarchDecember 31, 2016 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.
