FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.ORGANIZATION

Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in ~~1943.~~1943 as a manufacturer of tungsten carbide metal cutting tooling. From this beginning, Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Kennametal or the Company) ~~are~~has grown into a ~~leading~~ global ~~manufacturer~~leader in the development and ~~supplier~~application of ~~tooling, engineered components~~tungsten carbides, ceramics, super-hard materials and ~~advanced materials consumed~~solutions used in ~~production processes. We believe that our~~metal cutting and mission-critical wear applications to combat extreme conditions associated with wear fatigue, corrosion and high temperatures. The Company's reputation for ~~manufacturing excellence,~~material technology, metal cutting application knowledge, as well as ~~our technological~~ expertise and innovation ~~we deliver~~ in ~~our products~~the development of custom solutions and services, ~~helps us~~contributes to ~~achieve a~~its leading position in ~~our~~its primary markets.

Our product offering includes a wide selection of standard and customized technologies for metalworking applications, such as turning, milling, hole making, tooling systems and services. End users of ~~our~~the Company's metalworking products include ~~metalworking and machinery~~ manufacturers ~~and suppliers across~~engaged in a diverse array of industries ~~including~~including: the ~~aerospace, defense,~~manufacturers of transportation vehicles and components, machine ~~tool,~~tools and light ~~machinery~~ and heavy ~~machinery,~~machinery; airframe and aerospace components; and energy-related components for the oil and gas industry, as well as power generation.

In addition, we produce specialized wear components and metallurgical powders that are used for custom-engineered and challenging applications. End users of the Company's products include producers and suppliers in ~~a number of~~ equipment-intensive ~~industries~~operations 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.~~

A key attribute of the new structure is the establishment of the WIDIA operating segment. In order to better leverage the opportunities that lie 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 Industrial and WIDIA segments in 2017 were formed from the 2016 Industrial segment. We now have three global 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 ~~2016~~2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, ~~2016~~2017 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our ~~2016~~2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim statements are unaudited; however, we believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods were made and all adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results for the three months ended September 30, ~~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”~~“year” is to a fiscal year ended June 30. For example, a reference to ~~2017~~2018 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. When used in this Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries.

3.NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adopted

In ~~November 2015,~~March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which is intended to simplify equity-based award accounting and presentation. The guidance ~~on balance sheet~~impacts income tax accounting related to equity-based awards, the classification of ~~deferred taxes. The amendments in this guidance require that deferred tax~~awards as either equity or liabilities, and ~~assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified~~the classification on the statement of ~~financial position, in comparison to the previous practice of separating deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts on the balance sheet.~~cash flows. We adopted this guidance July 1, ~~2016~~2017. The adoption of this guidance resulted in three changes. (1) The increase to deferred tax assets of $1.4 million related to cumulative excess tax benefits previously unrecognized was offset by a valuation allowance, due to the valuation allowance position of our U.S. entity. (2) Excess tax benefits, previously reported in the financing activities section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, is now reported in the operating activities section, adopted on a prospective basis.

In August ~~2016,~~2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which seeks to improve financial reporting and obtain closer alignment with risk management activities, in addition to simplifying the application of hedge accounting guidance ~~on classification of certain cash receipts~~ and ~~cash payments in the statement of cash flow.

We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

5.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable.

~~As of September 30, 2016, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:~~

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 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 three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company paid the remaining $6.6 million in conjunction with achieved milestone targets. The contingent consideration was recorded in other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016. No other changes in the expected outcome have occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016.


6.	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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

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


(in thousands)	September 30, 2016			June 30, 2016			September 30, 2017			June 30, 2017

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, net. Gains related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments have been recognized as follows:

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 expense, net when the underlying sale of products or services is recognized into earnings. The notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, was ~~$71.5~~$75.7 million and ~~$53.3~~$75.3 million, respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months ~~an immaterial amount~~$1.8 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 three months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015.~~2016.

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES

As of September 30, 2017, we had certain foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans payable with total aggregate principal amounts of €33.0 million as net investment hedges to hedge the foreign exchange exposure of our net investment in Euro-based subsidiaries. A loss of $1.3 million was recorded as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2017. We did not have net investment hedges during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2017, the foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans payable designated as net investment hedges consisted of:

These restructuring actions ~~are expected to be~~were substantially completed ~~by December~~in the September quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2018 and ~~are anticipated to be~~were mostly cash expenditures.

The total pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be in the range of $155 million to $175 million, which is expected to be approximately 60 percent Industrial, 5 percent WIDIA, 30 percent Infrastructure and 5 percent Corporate. Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $102.8 million have been recorded for these programs through September 30, 2016: $54.3 million in Industrial, $33.0 million in Infrastructure, $8.6 million in WIDIA and $6.9 million in Corporate.

We have recorded restructuring and related charges of $31.7 million and $15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $28.6 million and $9.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, an immaterial amount of restructuring charges was related to inventory disposals and were recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring-related charges of $2.0 million and $1.6 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $1.1 million and $4.4 million in operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

There were no restructuring charges related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of good sold during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Restructuring-related charges of $1.3 million and $2.0 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $0.1 million and $1.1 million in operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, property, plant, and equipment of $7.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for certain closed manufacturing locations that are part of our restructuring programs met held for sale criteria. We expect to sell these assets within one year from the balance sheet date. These assets are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. We have also ceased depreciating these assets.

As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, $19.7 million and $27.3 million of the restructuring accrual is recorded in other current liabilities, respectively, and as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, $2.5 million is recorded in other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet and the~~sheet.

Restricted Stock Units – Time Vesting and Performance Vesting

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

10.	INVENTORIES

We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 4541 percent and 4443 percent of total inventories at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. Since inventory valuations under the LIFO method are based on an annual determination of quantities and costs as of June 30 of each year, the interim LIFO valuations are based on our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

Inventories consisted of the following:


(in thousands)	September 30, 2016			June 30, 2016			September 30, 2017			June 30, 2017

11.	LONG-TERM DEBT

~~The~~Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2016 (Credit Agreement) ~~permits~~provides for revolving credit loans of up to $600 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the Credit agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and June 30, ~~2016.~~2017. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement matures in April 2021.

Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of ~~$709.0~~$707.2 million and $704.0 million at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively.

~~12.ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS~~


12.	ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The operation of our business has exposed us to certain liabilities and compliance costs related to environmental matters. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at certain of our locations.

Superfund Sites Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ~~(Superfund)~~(CERCLA), under which we have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as a ~~potentially responsible party~~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.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~KENNAMETAL INC.~~

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

Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, the balances of these reserves were ~~$12.5 million.~~$12.6 million and $12.4 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.

The reserves we have established for environmental liabilities represent our best current estimate of the costs of addressing all identified environmental situations, based on our review of currently available evidence, and taking into consideration our prior experience in remediation and that of other companies, as well as public information released by the USEPA, other governmental agencies and by the PRP groups in which we are participating. Although the reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these environmental liabilities, there are uncertainties associated with environmental liabilities, and we can give no assurance that our estimate of any environmental liability will not increase or decrease in the future. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and direction taken by the government on these matters.

We maintain a Corporate Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have designated EHS ~~coordinators~~analysts who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.


13.	INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 ~~and 2015~~ were ~~29.9~~19.5 percent (provision on ~~a loss)~~income) and ~~292.8~~29.9 percent (provision on a loss), respectively. The change was primarily driven by ~~a discrete tax charge~~U.S. losses in the prior year ~~quarter for the sale of non-core businesses~~ and ~~a loss in the~~ U.S. income in the current ~~quarter for~~year, neither of which ~~we could not record a~~can be tax ~~benefit~~affected due to a full valuation allowance on our ~~U.S~~domestic deferred tax ~~assets as of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.~~assets.

14.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that would occur related to the issuance of capital stock under stock option grants, performance awards and restricted stock units. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options, performance awards and restricted stock units.

For purposes of determining the number of diluted shares outstanding, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested performance awards and unvested restricted stock units by 1.1 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Unexercised capital stock options, performance awards and restricted stock units of 0.8 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price, and therefore the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, ~~and 2015,~~ the ~~effects~~effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested performance awards and unvested restricted stock units ~~were~~was anti-dilutive as a result of a net ~~losses~~loss in the ~~periods~~period and therefore ~~have~~has been excluded from diluted shares outstanding as well as from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

17.	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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, 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 three months ended September 30, 2016 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 18 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 September 30, 2016. As the strategic direction has not yet been determined for this business, the Company cannot determine if additional impairment charges will be incurred.

~~NEW OPERATING STRUCTURE IMPLEMENTED IN FISCAL 2017~~RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

SALES

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

GROSS PROFIT

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

OPERATING EXPENSE

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

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

In ~~order~~prior years, we implemented restructuring actions to ~~take advantage~~streamline the Company's cost structure. The purpose of these initiatives was to improve the ~~growth opportunities~~alignment of our ~~WIDIA brand, we implemented a new~~cost structure with the current operating ~~structure~~environment through headcount reductions, as well as rationalization and consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions were substantially completed in the September quarter of fiscal 2018, were mostly cash expenditures and achieved annual run rate ongoing pre-tax savings of approximately $165 million.

We have recorded restructuring and related charges of $6.9 million and $31.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $5.5 million and $28.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, an immaterial amount of restructuring charges was related to inventory disposals and were recorded in cost of goods sold. There were no restructuring charges related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of good sold during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Restructuring-related charges of $1.3 million and $2.0 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $0.1 million and $1.1 million in operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Total restructuring and related charges since the inception of our restructuring plans through September 30, 2017 were $154.5 million. See Note 7 in our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Note 7).

INTEREST EXPENSE

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

Table of Contents

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

A key attribute of the new structure is the establishment of the WIDIA operating segment. In order to better leverage the opportunities that lie 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. Industrial and WIDIA in 2017 were formed from the 2016 Industrial segment. 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 three months ended September 30, 2016. 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 is $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.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW

We operate three reportable segments consisting of Industrial, Widia and Infrastructure. Expenses that are not allocated are reported in Corporate. Segment determination is based upon the manner in which we organize segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance and the availability of separate financial results.

INDUSTRIAL

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, Industrial sales increased 11 percent from the prior year quarter. General engineering sales continue to experience growth from sales in the indirect channel across all regions and positive performance in the light and general engineering sector in EMEA. Transportation sales in the quarter to tier suppliers and OEMs grew in Asia Pacific and EMEA. Oil and gas drilling sales in the Americas continue to provide overall growth in energy, coupled with increases in power generation sales globally. Conditions continue to be favorable in the aerospace sector, with global sales related to engine growth being supplemented by increasing demand related to frames in the Americas. The ~~decrease~~sales increases in Asia Pacific and EMEA were primarily driven by the transportation and general engineering end markets. The sales increase in the Americas was primarily ~~due to unfavorable business mix, organic sales decline, divestiture impact of $7.7 million~~driven by the performance in the energy, general engineering and ~~unfavorable currency exchange of $2.6 million, partially offset by lower raw material costs, incremental restructuring benefits of $4.0 million,~~aerospace and ~~slightly better productivity.

~~RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES~~

~~We have recorded restructuring and related charges of $31.7 million and $15.1 million for~~For the three months ended September 30, ~~2016 and 2015, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $28.6~~2017, Widia operating income was $0.1 million ~~and $9.1~~compared to an operating loss of $5.8 million respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, an immaterial amount of restructuring charges was related to inventory disposals and were recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring-related charges of $2.0 million and $1.6 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $1.1 million and $4.4 million in operating expense for the ~~three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.~~

~~Total~~prior year period. The year-over-year change of $5.8 million was driven primarily by organic sales growth, $2.2 million less restructuring and related charges, ~~since the inception~~incremental restructuring benefits of ~~our restructuring plans through September 30, 2016 were $102.8 million. See Note 7 in our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1~~approximately $1 million and favorable mix. Widia operating income margin was 0.1 percent compared with operating loss margin of ~~this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Note 7).~~

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; rationalization and consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities; enhancement of operational efficiencies through an enterprise-wide cost reduction program; and other employment and cost reduction programs. These restructuring actions are currently anticipated to deliver annual ongoing pre-tax savings of $140 million to $155 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.

~~INTEREST EXPENSE~~

~~Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $7.0 million.~~

~~OTHER EXPENSE, NET~~

~~Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2016, was~~ ~~$0.1 million~~ ~~compared to~~ ~~$1.1 million~~14.0 percent in the prior ~~year quarter. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a loss on~~year.

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were 29.9 percent (provision on a loss) and 292.8 percent (provision on loss), respectively. The change was primarily driven by a discrete tax charge in the prior year quarter for the sale of non-core businesses and a loss in the U.S. in the current quarter for which we could not record a tax benefit due to a full valuation allowance on our U.S deferred tax assets as of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

~~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 months ended September 30, 2015 for Industrial and WIDIA have been restated to reflect the change in reportable operating segments.~~

INFRASTRUCTURE

~~INDUSTRIAL~~For the three months ended September 30, 2017, Infrastructure sales increased by 20 percent from the prior year quarter. Oil and gas in the U.S. is now stabilizing, manifesting in high year-over-year growth in energy with average U.S. land rig counts up over 100 percent compared to the prior year quarter. Underground mining continues to show signs of improvement in the earthworks market. Construction sales improved in part due to the timing of orders related to the road rehabilitation season. The sales increase in Asia Pacific was driven primarily by the performance in the industrial applications and mining end markets. Growth in the Americas was primarily driven by the oil and gas, industrial applications and construction end markets. The sales increase in EMEA was primarily driven by performance in the earthworks and construction end markets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, Infrastructure operating income was $22.1 million compared to an operating loss of $7.6 million for the prior year period. The year-over-year change of $29.7 million was driven primarily by organic sales growth, incremental restructuring program benefits of approximately $8 million, $7.9 million less restructuring and related charges in the current period, favorable mix and higher fixed cost absorption and productivity, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Infrastructure operating margin was 11.0 percent compared with 4.5 percent in the prior year.

CORPORATE

For the three months ended September 30, ~~2016, Industrial sales remained flat, reflecting organic growth of 3~~2017, Corporate unallocated expense decreased $1.0 million, or 67.3 percent, offset by unfavorable currency exchange of 2 percent and divestiture impact of 1 percent. Excluding the impact of currency exchange and divestiture, sales increased approximately 6 percent in aerospace and defense, 5 percent in general engineering, and 1 percent in transportation, offset partially by a decrease of approximately 11 percent in energy. Activity in the aerospace sector remains elevated with sales growing globally. General engineering sales in Americas and Asia have benefited from stability in the indirect channel stock levels, offsetting the general industrial weakness caused by the continued decline in the energy sector. The transportation market was mixed with more projects contributing to higher sales in Asia, partially offset by less favorable conditions in Europe and Americas. On a segment regional basis excluding the impact of divestiture and currency exchange, sales increased 7 percent in Asia and 4 percent in the Americas, offset partially by a decrease of 1 percent in Europe. The sales increase in Asia was primarily driven by the transportation and general engineering end markets and to a lesser extent the aerospace and defense end market, partially offset by a decrease in the energy end market. The sales increase in the Americas was primarily driven by the performance in the general engineering end market and to a lesser extent in the aerospace and defense end market, partially offset by decreases in the energy and transportation end markets. The sales decrease in Europe was primarily driven by the performance in the transportation and energy end markets, offset partially by an increase in the aerospace and defense end market, while general engineering remained flat.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, Industrial operating income decreased by $15.9 million, driven primarily by $13.3 million more restructuring and related charges, $5.1 million higher employment-related costs and unfavorable mix, partially offset by incremental restructuring benefits of $6.1 million and organic sales growth. Industrial operating margin was 2.1 percent compared with 7.9 percent in the prior ~~year.~~

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the WIDIA segment, selling primarily in the general engineering end market, recorded a sales decrease of 5 percent, due to organic decline of 3 percent, unfavorable currency exchange of 1 percent and an unfavorable business days impact of 1 percent. On a segment regional basis excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales decreased 10 percent in Europe and 5 percent in the Americas, offset partially by an increase of 5 percent in Asia.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, WIDIA operating loss was $5.8 million compared to operating loss of $1.7 million for the prior year period. Operating loss increased by $4.0 million, driven primarily by organic sales decline, $2.3 million higher restructuring and related charges and unfavorable mix.

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

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, Infrastructure sales decreased by 31 percent, reflecting a 20 percent decline due to divestiture, a 10 percent organic sales decline and a 1 percent unfavorable currency exchange impact. Excluding the impact of currency exchange and divestiture, sales decreased by approximately 22 percent in earthworks, 6 percent in energy and 4 percent in general engineering. Key energy markets, particularly in North America, continued to see contraction in the first quarter, with U.S. rig counts declining over 40 percent year-over-year. In addition, conditions in underground mining in North America declined further, with sales down 36 percent year-over-year. As previously disclosed, this weakness is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. On a segment regional basis excluding the impact of divestiture and currency exchange, sales decreased 16 percent in the Americas, 8 percent in Asia and 3 percent in Europe. The sales decrease in the Americas was driven by decreases in earthworks, energy and general engineering end markets. The sales decrease in Asia was driven primarily by the performance in the earthworks end market, offset partially by an increase in the general engineering end market. The sales decrease in Europe was primarily driven by decreases in energy and general engineering end markets, and to a lesser extent the earthworks end market.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, Infrastructure operating loss was $7.6 million compared to operating loss of $8.4 million for the prior year period. Operating loss for the current period decreased by $0.8 million, due primarily to lower raw material costs and incremental restructuring program benefits of $4 million, offset partially by lower organic sales, unfavorable mix and $4.3 million more restructuring and related charges. Infrastructure operating loss margin was 4.5 percent compared with 3.5 percent in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations is the primary source of funding for capital ~~expenditures and internal growth.~~expenditures. Year to date September 30, ~~2016~~2017 cash flow ~~provided by~~used for operating activities was $~~21.9~~19.9 million, primarily ~~driven~~due to a net outflow from changes in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by ~~working capital improvements and cash earnings.~~the net inflow from net income with adjustments for non-cash items.

Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2016 (Credit Agreement) is used to augment cash from operations and asis an additional source of funds. The Credit Agreement ~~permits~~provides for revolving credit loans of up to $600.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the Credit Agreement is based upon the type of borrowing under the facility and may be (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (2) the greater of the prime rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus an applicable margin, or (3) fixed as negotiated by us. The Credit Agreement matures in April 2021. We had no borrowings outstanding on our Credit Agreement as of September 30, ~~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 Credit agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. For the three months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, average daily borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were approximately ~~$3.3~~$3.5 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

We consider substantially all of the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that have not previously been taxed in the U.S. to be permanently reinvested. As of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, cash and cash equivalents of ~~$41.2~~$82.3 million and short-term intercompany advances made by our foreign subsidiaries to our U.S. parent of ~~$20.8~~$9.5 million would not be available for use in the U.S. on a ~~long term~~long-term basis without incurring U.S. federal and state income tax consequences. We have not, nor do we anticipate the need to, repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business or associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

At September 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents were $110.7 million, Total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,062.0 million and total debt was $696.6 million. Our current senior credit ratings are at investment grade levels. We believe that our current financial position, liquidity and credit ratings provide access to the capital markets. We believe that we have sufficient resources available to meet cash requirements for the next 12 months. We continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and the condition of the capital markets, as well as the counterparty risk of our credit providers.

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2017.

Cash Flow (Used for) Provided by Operating Activities

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, cash flow used for operating activities was $19.9 million, compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $23.6 million for the prior year period. Cash flow used for operating activities for the current year period consisted of changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $97.6 million and net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $77.7 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $62.7 million, an increase in inventories of $19.7 million due in part to increasing volumes and a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $8.1 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, cash flow provided by operating activities for the period consisted of net loss and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $14.4 million, and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an inflow of $9.2 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $23.1 million due to lower sales volume. Offsetting these cash inflows were a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $5.6 million and a net decrease of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.1 million primarily driven by lower accrued compensation, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities

Cash flow used for investing activities was $41.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $41.0 million in the prior year period.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Table of Contents

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

The reserves we have established for environmental liabilities represent our best current estimate of the costs of addressing all identified environmental situations, based on our review of currently available evidence, and taking into consideration our prior experience in remediation and that of other companies, as well as public information released by the USEPA, other governmental agencies, and by the PRP groups in which we are participating. Although the reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these environmental liabilities, there are uncertainties associated with environmental liabilities, and we can give no assurance that our estimate of any environmental liability will not increase or decrease in the future. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and direction taken by the government on these matters.

~~Table of Contents~~

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

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~~analysts who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Effective July 1, 2017 with the adoption of new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance on subsequent measurement of inventory, non-LIFO inventories are now stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. LIFO inventories continue to be stated at the lower of cost or market.

There have been no other changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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

RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL MEASURES NOT DEFINED BY U.S. GAAP In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP financial measure. We believe that these measures provide useful perspective on underlying business trends and results and provide a supplemental measure of year-over-year results. The non-GAAP financial measures described below are used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for business strategy purposes. These measures may be useful to investors as they provide supplemental information about business performance and provide investors a view of our business results through the eyes of management. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered by the user in place of the related GAAP financial measure, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items or events being adjusted.

Organic sales growth Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures, business days and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. Management believes this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis.

Reconciliations of organic sales growth to the most closely related GAAP financial measure, sales growth, are as follows:



Three months ended September 30, 2017	Sales Growth	Foreign Currency Exchange Impact	Business Days Impact	Organic Sales Growth
Industrial	11%	2%	—%	9%
Widia	10%	1%	—%	9%
Infrastructure	20%	2%	(1)%	19%

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures since June 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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