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.

Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943. 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. We ~~operate two~~now have three global ~~business segments consisting of~~reportable operating segments: Industrial, Widia, and Infrastructure.

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 ~~2015~~2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, ~~2015~~2016 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our ~~2015~~2016 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 nine months ended March 31, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015~~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 ~~2016~~2017 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,~~January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment by removing step two of the test. Step two measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The new guidance requires an entity to perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. This standard is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2020; however, early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has chosen to early adopt this guidance and does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on ~~reporting discontinued operations~~balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The amendments in this guidance require that deferred tax liabilities and ~~disclosures~~assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of ~~disposals~~financial position, in comparison to the previous practice of ~~components~~separating 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 representing~~on the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a ~~strategic shift in operations should~~recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as ~~discontinued operations. Additionally,~~a direct reduction from the ~~guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations~~carrying amount of that ~~will provide financial statement users~~debt 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 outlined in Note 5~~2016 and was ~~evaluated under this guidance.~~

~~Issued~~

~~In April 2016,~~retrospectively applied to all periods presented. Debt issuance costs of $5.0 million and $6.0 million are reported as direct reductions of the ~~FASB issued guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing as part~~carrying amounts of Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update clarify identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. This standard is 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 aredebt liabilities in the ~~process~~balance sheet as of ~~assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.~~

In ~~March 2016,~~April 2015, the FASB issued guidance ~~intended~~on accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments in this update provide guidance to ~~simplify equity-based award accounting~~customers about treatment of costs as either capitalized and ~~presentation.~~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 was effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2016 and was applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Issued

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The guidance ~~impacts~~requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income ~~tax accounting related to equity-based awards,~~statement separately from the ~~classification~~service cost component and outside a subtotal of ~~awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows.~~income from operations. This ~~standard~~guidance 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 improve~~recognition. The standard prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue, the ~~operability and understandability~~application 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~~new standard and developed a project plan to guide the implementation. Currently, we are analyzing the standard's impact on ~~principal versus agent considerations. As this update serves to clarify existing guidance, it is~~our customer arrangements and evaluating the new standard against our historical accounting policies and practices, including the timing of revenue recognition. We have not ~~expected to have a material~~yet determined the impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated 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.

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.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable.

As of March 31, 2017, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are categorized as follows:

⁽¹⁾ Currency derivatives are valued based on observable market spot and forward rates and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 ~~relates~~at 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 nine months ended March 31, 2017, 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 nine months ended March 31, 2017 under the caption "other." The contingent consideration ~~is to be paid over the next 9 months and is~~was 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 nine months ended March 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

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.

The fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:


(in thousands)	March 31, 2016			June 30, 2015			March 31, 2017			June 30, 2016

Total derivatives	$	(156	)	$	2,634		$	69		$	(429	)

Certain currency forward contracts that hedge significant cross-border intercompany loans are considered as other derivatives and therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting. These contracts are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, with the offset to other expense (income) ~~expense,~~, net. Gains related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments have been recognized as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,					Nine Months Ended March 31,

$ (116 ) $ (3,783 )

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 March 31, ~~2016~~2017 and June 30, ~~2015,~~2016, was ~~$63.8~~$66.2 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 March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months ~~$0.4~~$0.6 million of income on outstanding derivatives.

The following represents gains and losses related to cash flow hedges:

No portion of the gains or losses recognized in earnings was due to ineffectiveness and no amounts were excluded from our effectiveness testing for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015.~~2016.

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we designated certain foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans payable with total aggregate principal amounts of €63.0 million as net investment hedges to hedge the foreign exchange exposure of our net investment in Euro-based subsidiaries. The remeasurements of these non-derivatives designated as net investment hedges are calculated each period with changes reported in foreign currency translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive loss. Such amounts will remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss unless we complete or substantially complete liquidation or disposal of our investment in the underlying foreign operations. A loss of $0.5 million was recorded as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017. We did not have net investment hedges during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, the foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans payable designated as net investment hedges consisted of:

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 ~~payment~~vesting date after the three-year performance period, with the exception of retirement eligible grantees, who upon retirement are entitled to ~~receive payment for~~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.

11.	INVENTORIES

We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 45 percent and 4744 percent of total inventories at March 31, ~~2016~~2017 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:

12.	LONG-TERM DEBT

Our~~$600 million~~ five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April ~~2013~~2016 (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 ~~affirmative~~restrictive and ~~negative~~affirmative 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 March 31, ~~2016.~~2017. We had no ~~borrowings and~~ ~~$42.8 million~~ of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, ~~2016~~2017 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 to~~matures 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~~$700.7 million and ~~$698.0~~$704.0 million at March 31, ~~2016~~2017 and June 30, ~~2015,~~2016, respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of March 31, ~~2016~~2017 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 sites~~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. ~~For certain~~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 ~~these~~the environmental remedial costs at the Superfund sites where we have ~~evaluated~~been designated a PRP, to the ~~claims~~extent 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 March 31, ~~2016~~2017 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 March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 19.0 percent and ~~2015 were~~ 24.7 percent, ~~(provision~~respectively. The decrease is primarily driven by a prior year asset impairment charge, current quarter earnings in the U.S. that cannot be tax affected in the current year and a prior year loss on ~~income)~~ ~~and 64.4 percent (benefit on~~divestiture, offset partially by a ~~loss), respectively.~~ favorable impact in the prior year quarter related to a U.S. provision to return adjustment that did not repeat in the current year.

The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 45.9 percent (provision on income) 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~~restructuring and related 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 in the current periods where the tax rates are generally lower and a favorable impact in the ~~current~~prior year 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 containedadjustment that did not repeat in the ~~Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 which occurred~~current year and current year-to-date losses in the ~~second quarter of this fiscal year.~~U.S. that cannot be tax affected in the current year, offset partially by a prior year asset impairment charge and a prior year loss on divestiture.


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.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~KENNAMETAL INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)~~

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 ~~restricted stock~~performance awards and unvested restricted stock units by 1.0 million shares and 0.4 million shares for the three months ended March 31, ~~2016.~~2017 and 2016, respectively, and 0.7 million shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Unexercised capital stock options, performance awards and restricted stock units of 1.2 million shares and ~~restricted stock awards~~3.1 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~of 3.1~~respectively, and 1.8 million shares for the nine months ended March 31, 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 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~~period 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 March 31, 2017. 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~~Widia segment for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. These impairment charges ~~are~~were 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.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)~~

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 nine months ended March 31, 2016, 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 ~~are~~were 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 deliver productivity solutions to customers seeking peak performance in demanding environments. The Company provides innovative wear-resistant products, application engineering and services backed by advanced material science serving customers across diverse sectors of industrial production, transportation, earthworks, energy, construction, process industries and aerospace. Kennametal solutions are built around industry-essential technology platforms, including precision-engineered metalworking tools and components, surface technologies and earth cutting tools that are mission-critical to customer operations battling extreme conditions associated with wear fatigue, corrosion and high temperatures. The Company’s reputation for material and industrial technology excellence, as well as expertise and innovation in development of custom solutions and services, contributes to its leading position in its primary industrial and infrastructure markets. End users of the Company’s products include manufacturers, metalworking suppliers, machinery operators and processors engaged in a diverse array of industries, including the manufacture of transportation vehicles and ~~systems;~~components; machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery industries; airframe and aerospace components, ~~and systems,~~ defense; as well as producers and suppliers in equipment-intensive operations such as coal mining, road construction, quarrying, oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply. We believe we are one of the largest global providers of consumable ~~metalcutting~~metal cutting tools and tooling supplies.

This quarter’s results exceeded our expectations by almost every metric. Sales grew and costs declined, reflecting continuing progress with the work we began nine months ago. Our sales of ~~$497.8~~$528.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, ~~2016 decreased 22~~2017 increased 6 percent compared to sales for the quarter ended March 31, ~~2015.~~ 2016. Every segment and every region reported increased sales. The Widia segment posted quarterly profit for the first time with operating margin of 1.3 percent. The Industrial and Infrastructure segments posted operating margins of 13.3 percent and 10.3 percent, respectively.

Operating income was ~~$27.3~~$57.9 million, compared to ~~operating loss $120.4~~$27.3 million in the prior year quarter. ~~Our~~Year-over-year comparative operating results ~~increased due primarily to goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges in the prior period, lower raw material costs and~~reflect incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $20 million, organic sales growth, higher absorption and productivity, lower restructuring and related charges in the current period ~~offset partially by the effects of the organic sales decline, unfavorable~~and favorable 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 of restructuring and related charges, current quarter tax impact of the second quarter asset impairment charges of $0.02 per share and a net gain of $0.03 per share from divestiture.

Our operating flexibility was enhanced with an amendment 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 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 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~~higher performance-based compensation and the negative effects 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.

higher raw material costs.

The permanent savings that we are realizing from restructuring are the result of all programs that we have undertaken over the past 3027 months. Pre-tax benefits from these restructuring actions ~~reached~~were approximately ~~$20~~$30 million in the current quarter, ~~due to rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities and employment and cost reduction programs,~~ of which approximately ~~$11~~$20 million were incremental to the same quarter one year ago. ~~Approximate~~As of March 31, 2017, we are anticipating approximately $90 million of the annualized savings ~~since inception~~associated with our employment reduction initiative. We expect our other restructuring programs to deliver annualized savings of $75 million to $90 million once completed. Refer 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 and process simplification, End-to-End and factory modernization initiatives are underway. Very little of the current period progress reflects the structural benefits from the modernization and End-to-End initiatives that we have planned, nor the benefits from the ongoing product and process simplification initiatives. The results of those programs are expected to accrue to the Company over the next two to three years.

We reported current quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.48, which include $0.12 per share of restructuring ~~programs reached approximately $97 million~~and related charges. Earnings per diluted share of $0.20 in the ~~quarter.~~prior year quarter included $0.18 per share of restructuring and related charges, a net gain of $0.03 per share from divestiture, and a tax impact of $0.02 per share related to prior year second quarter asset impairment charges.

We generated cash flow from operating activities of $80.0 million and $145.4 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to increases in primary working capital and higher restructuring payments, partially offset by higher cash earnings and lower tax and pension payments. Capital expenditures were $94.1 million and $83.3 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We invested further in technology and innovation to continue meeting our customers' needs. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The following narrative provides further discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, as well as other pertinent matters.

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

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 nine months ended March 31, 2016 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.

Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 were $1,493.3 million, a decrease of $83.9 million or 5 percent, from $1,577.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease in sales was driven by a 5 percent decline from divestiture and a 1 percent unfavorable currency exchange impact, partially offset by 1 percent organic growth. Excluding the impact of currency exchange and divestiture, sales increased by approximately 5 percent in energy, 4 percent in general engineering, 3 percent in aerospace and defense and 1 percent in transportation, offset partially by a decrease of approximately 9 percent in earthworks. On a regional basis excluding the impact of currency exchange and divestiture, sales increased 6 percent in Asia while sales remained flat in both the Americas and ~~1 percent in~~ Europe.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, ~~2016~~2017 was $~~157.4~~186.3 million, ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$42.1~~$28.9 million from $~~199.5~~157.4 million in the prior year quarter.

The gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, ~~2016~~2017 was ~~31.6~~35.2 percent, as compared to ~~31.2~~31.6 percent generated in the prior year quarter.

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2016~~2017 was $477.4 million, an increase of $28.0 million from $449.4 million ain the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher fixed cost absorption and productivity, lower raw material costs and incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $20 million, partially offset by unfavorable mix, divestiture impact of $11.4 million and unfavorable currency exchange impact of $8.6 million. The gross profit margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was 32.0 percent, as compared to 28.5 percent generated in the prior year period.

OPERATING EXPENSE

Operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased $4.1 million or 3.4 percent to $116.9 million as compared to $121.0 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to incremental restructuring benefits of ~~$167.6~~approximately $10 million, ~~from $617.0~~$4.6 million less in restructuring-related charges and favorable foreign currency exchange impacts of $1.0 million, partially offset by $7.3 million higher employment-related costs.

Operating expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 decreased $26.0 million or 7.0 percent to $347.8 million as compared to $373.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to organic sales decline, unfavorable business mix, lower fixed cost absorption, four months less of gross profit due to the divestiture of non-core businesses and unfavorable currency exchange, partially offset by lower raw material costs and incremental restructuring ~~benefits. The gross profit margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was 28.5 percent, as compared to 30.7 percent generated in the prior year period.~~

The decrease was primarily due to restructuring~~ benefits ~~and continued cost reduction actions~~ of approximately $8$25 million, divestiture impact of ~~$7.0~~$10.5 million, $10.4 million less in restructuring-related charges and favorable foreign currency exchange impacts of ~~$4.6 million, partially offset by higher restructuring related charges of $4.7 million.~~

Operating expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $50.1 million or 11.8 percent to $373.8 million as compared to $424.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to restructuring benefits and continued cost reduction actions of approximately $23 million, favorable foreign currency exchange impacts of $22.5 million and divestiture impact of $8.9$3.5 million, offset partially by higher ~~restructuring related charges~~employment-related costs of ~~$7.0~~$17.0 million.

~~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~~improve the alignment of our cost structure with the current operating environment through ~~the~~headcount reductions, as well as rationalization and consolidation of certain manufacturing ~~facilities as well as other employment and cost reduction programs.~~facilities.

These restructuring actions The total pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be ~~completed by March~~in the range of ~~fiscal 2017 and are anticipated~~$165 million to ~~be mostly cash expenditures.~~$195 million.

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 during the three and nine months ended March 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).

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.

LOSS ON DIVESTITURE

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 million and $3.6 million were recorded in the Infrastructure and Industrial segments, respectively. See Note 5 in our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Note 5).

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $0.2 million to $7.3 million as compared to $7.1 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 increased $0.6 million to $21.5 million as compared to $20.9 million in the prior year period.

OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME), NET

Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017, was $1.6 million compared to other income, net of $1.9 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was primarily due to foreign currency transaction losses.

Other expense, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, was $2.5 million compared to other income, net of $1.6 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year change 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 March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 19.0 percent and 24.7 percent, respectively. The decrease is primarily driven by a prior year asset impairment charge, current quarter earnings in the U.S. that cannot be tax affected in the current year and a prior year loss on divestiture, offset partially by a favorable impact in the prior year quarter related to a U.S. provision to return adjustment that did not repeat in the current year.

The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 45.9 percent (provision on income) and 28.0 percent (benefit on a loss), respectively. The change was primarily driven by restructuring and related charges, a favorable impact in the prior year quarter related to a U.S. provision to return adjustment that did not repeat in the current year and current year-to-date losses in the U.S. that cannot be tax affected in the current year, offset partially by a prior year asset impairment charge and a prior year loss on divestiture.

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.

Amounts for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 for Industrial and Widia have been restated to reflect the change in reportable operating segments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations is the primary source of funding for capital expenditures and internal growth. Year to date March 31, ~~2016~~2017 cash flow provided by operating activities was $~~145.4~~80.0 million, primarily driven by ~~working capital improvements and~~ cash earnings, partially offset by ~~a decrease~~increases in ~~taxes payable~~primary working capital and ~~lump sum payments to several terminated Executive Retirement Plan participants.~~by net outflows from changes in other assets and liabilities.

Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April ~~2013~~2016 (Credit Agreement) is used to augment cash from operations and asis an additional source of funds. The Credit Agreement permits 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 ~~2018.~~2021. We had no borrowings outstanding on our Credit Agreement as of March 31, ~~2016.~~

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 agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, ~~2016.~~2017. For the nine months ended March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, average daily borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were approximately ~~$27.3~~$29.1 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

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, we~~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 March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, cash and cash equivalents of ~~$53.0~~$42.8 million and short-term intercompany advances made by our foreign subsidiaries to our U.S. parent of $18.5 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, ~~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 March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, cash and cash equivalents were ~~$136.6~~$100.8 million, total debt, including notes payable, was ~~$703.9~~$696.2 million and total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was ~~$1,144.2~~$946.0 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 as of March 31, 2016.~~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 ~~other~~ material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, ~~2015.~~2016.

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, cash flow provided by operating activities was ~~$145.4~~$80.0 million, compared to ~~$219.6~~$145.4 million for the prior year period. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the current year period consisted of net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $124.5 million and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $44.5 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were an increase in inventories of $38.1 million, a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $18.8 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $12.7 million. Partially offsetting these cash outflows was a net increase of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $25.8 million. The increases in inventories, accounts payable and accounts receivable is due in part to higher demand trends in most of our end markets.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, cash flow provided by operating activities for the period consisted of net loss and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $104.0 million, and by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an inflow of $41.4 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $44.1 million due to lower sales volume and a decrease in inventory of~~$47.8~~ $47.8 million due to our continued focus on working capital management. Offsetting these cash inflows were a ~~net~~ decrease of accounts pa~~yable~~payable and accrued liabilities of $16.2 million primarily driven by lower restructuring liabilities and ~~lower~~ accrued compensation, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable due to lower volumes and our continued focus on working capital management; a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $22.9 million primarily due to payments to previous ~~executives:~~executives; and a decrease of accrued income taxes of $13.0 million primarily driven by payment of a capital gains tax related to a prior period tax reorganization.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, cash flow provided by operating activities for the period consisted of net loss and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $215.6 million, and by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an inflow of $4.0 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $34.3 million due to lower sales volume and a decrease in inventory of $6.6 million. Offsetting these cash flows were an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $21.7 million primarily driven by timing of payroll payments and a decrease in compensation-related accounts and an increase in accrued income taxes of $9.9 million.

Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities

Cash flow used for investing activities was $~~16.2~~90.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, compared to $~~76.3~~16.2 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $90.2 million, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $78.2 million, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades. These capital expenditures were partially offset by $61.1 million of proceeds from the sale of non-core businesses.

Cash Flow Used for Financing Activities

Cash flow used for financing activities was $47.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $94.7 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for financing activities included $48.0 million of cash dividends paid to Shareholders and a $6.4 million payment on the remaining contingent consideration related to a prior acquisition. These cash outflows were partially offset by $7.1 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans.

For the nine months ended March 31, ~~2015,~~2016, cash flow used for ~~investing~~financing activities primarily included ~~capital expenditures,~~$48.4 million net decrease in borrowings and $47.8 million of ~~$76.3~~cash dividends paid to Shareholders. These cash flows were partially offset by $1.7 million ~~which consisted primarily~~ of ~~equipment upgrades.~~dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans.

~~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~~616.2 million at March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, a decrease of $~~98.0~~31.8 million from ~~$775.8~~$648.1 million at June 30, ~~2015.~~2016. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in ~~inventory~~cash and cash equivalents of ~~$90.1~~$60.8 million, a decrease in deferred income taxes of $26.7 million due ~~primarily~~ to ~~lower work in process, raw materials~~the impact of prospective adoption of a new accounting standard requiring all deferred tax assets and ~~finished goods~~liabilities to be classified as ~~a result of our focus on working capital management~~long-term and a decrease in accounts ~~receivable~~payable of ~~$79.5~~$8.8 million ~~due to lower sales volume.~~as a result of increasing volumes. Partially offsetting these items were an increase in ~~cash and cash equivalents~~inventories of ~~$31.1 million;~~$31.4 million, an increase in other current assets of $17.8 million due primarily to 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 other current liabilities of ~~$26.1~~$11.7 million due primarily to ~~lower restructuring liabilities and~~the payment to relieve the remaining contingent consideration related to a prior year acquisition lower accrued ~~compensation; a decrease~~compensation and an increase in accounts ~~payable~~receivable of ~~$18.0~~$6.0 million ~~as a result of both lower volumes and our focus on~~due to increasing volumes. Currency exchange rate effects decreased working capital ~~management; and a decrease~~ in ~~accrued expenses~~total by $10.3 million, the impact of ~~$9.7 million driven by payroll timing and lower accrued vacation pay. Currency exchange effects accounted for $12.1 million of~~which is included in the ~~working capital decrease, and $32.9 million of the decrease in working capital is related to the sale of non-core businesses.~~aforementioned changes.

Property, plant and equipment, net decreased ~~$90.3~~$1.8 million from ~~$815.8~~$730.6 million at June 30, ~~2015~~2016 to ~~$725.5~~$728.8 million at March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, primarily due to ~~$67.6 million sold as part of sale of non-core businesses,~~ depreciation expense of ~~$73.3~~$68.4 million, ~~unfavorable~~a negative currency exchange impact of ~~$4.5~~$7.9 million during the current period and disposals of ~~$5.1 million,~~$3.9 million. These decreases are partially offset by capital expenditures of ~~$83.3~~$94.1 million, which includes ~~$16.4~~$15.4 million change in accounts payable related to purchases of property, plant and equipment.

At March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, other assets were ~~$667.1~~$562.9 million, ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$108.0~~$6.1 million from ~~$775.2~~$556.8 million at June 30, ~~2015.~~2016. The primary ~~drivers~~driver for the ~~decrease were~~increase was an increase in deferred income taxes of $20.0 million due in part to the impact of prospective adoption of a ~~decrease in goodwill of $115.3~~new accounting standard requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as long-term. This increase was partially offset by a $14.1 million ~~and a~~ decrease in other intangible assets, ~~of $74.0 million. The change in goodwill~~which 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~~$12.7 million and unfavorable currency exchange effects of ~~$0.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by $51.7~~$1.4 million, ~~increase~~and a $4.2 million decrease in ~~deferred income taxes.~~goodwill due to currency exchange effects.

Long-term debt and capital leases ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$36.1~~$1.1 million to ~~$699.8~~$694.6 million at March 31, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~$735.9~~$693.5 million at June 30, ~~2015. This change was driven primarily by the $42.8 million decrease of borrowings outstanding on the revolver.~~2016.

Kennametal Shareholders' equity was ~~$1,144.2~~$946.0 million at March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, a decrease of ~~$201.6~~$18.4 million from ~~$1,345.8~~$964.3 million at June 30, ~~2015.~~2016. 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~~$48.0 million and unfavorable currency exchange of $26.5 million, partially offset by net income attributable to Kennametal of $24.5 million, capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of ~~$11.2~~$21.4 million, reclassification of net pension and other postretirement benefit loss of $5.4 million and unrecognized net pension and other postretirement benefit gain of $3.4 million.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the balances of these ~~sites, we have evaluated~~reserves were $12.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with 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 costremediation 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.~~these issues.

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 March 31, ~~2016~~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.
