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 the economy; our ability to achieve anticipated benefits from our restructuring, simplification and modernization initiatives; risks related to our foreign operations and international markets, such as fluctuations in currency exchange rates, different regulatory environments, trade barriers, exchange controls, and social and political instability; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate, including environmental, health and safety regulations; potential for future goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges; our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property; continuity and security of information technology infrastructure; competition; our ability to retain our management and employees; demands on management resources; availability and cost of the raw materials we use to manufacture our products; product liability claims; integrating acquisitions and achieving the expected savings and synergies; global or regional catastrophic events; demand for and market acceptance of our products; business divestitures; labor relations; and implementation of environmental remediation matters. We provide additional information about many of the specific risks we face in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We can give no assurance that any goal or plan set forth in our forward-looking statements will be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we do not intend to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20182019 (the "2018"2019 Annual Report"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 20182019 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 20182019 Annual Report. The interim statements are unaudited; however, we believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods were made and all adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results for the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

2.NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
2.NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adopted
In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which requires an entity to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements around contracts with customers. We adopted Topic 606 on July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of that date. The adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements beyond the additional disclosure requirements. Refer to Notes 3 and 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)," which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice with respect to how these are classified in the statement of cash flows. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory," which clarifies that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. We adopted this on ASU July 1, 2018. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost," which 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 statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018, with the amendments applied on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting" which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases: Topic 842," 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 substantially all leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating,We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognitionoptional transition relief that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and without a restatement of prior periods. Therefore, prior period amounts were not adjusted and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We determined that there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward historical lease classification. Adoption of this ASU resulted in the recording of lease liabilities of approximately $49 million with the offset to lease ROU assets of $49 million as of July 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our condensed consolidated statement of income statement.and our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Refer to Note 11 for additional disclosures regarding the adoption of this new standard.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which seeks to improve financial reporting and obtain closer alignment with risk management activities, in addition to simplifying the application of hedge accounting guidance and additional disclosures. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2019. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which includes amendments allowing the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) to improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. Certain guidance is optional and was effective for Kennametal July 1, 2019. We elected not to reclassify the stranded tax effects as permissible under this standard. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which expands the scope of accounting for stock-based compensation to nonemployees. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2019. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Issued
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifying certain aspects of the current guidance. This standard is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2019. We expect to adopt this standard using a modified retrospective transition approach without an adjustment to comparative periods. Currently, we are inventorying our leasing arrangements and gathering lease data2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in order to determinethe process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU willguidance may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. While we have not yet completed the evaluation of the effects of adopting this standard, ROU assets and lease liabilities are expected to be recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the effective date and thereafter.


3.REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue Accounting Description and Policy
The Company's contracts with customers are comprised of purchase orders, and for larger customers, may also include long-term agreements. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. These contracts with customers typically relate to the manufacturing of products, which represent single performance obligations that are satisfied when control of the product passes to the customer. The Company considers the timing of right to payment, transfer of risk and rewards, transfer of title, transfer of physical possession and customer acceptance when determining when control transfers to the customer. As a result, revenue is generally recognized at a point in time - either upon shipment or delivery - based on the specific shipping terms in the contract. The shipping terms vary across all businesses and depend on the product, customary local commercial terms and the type of transportation. Shipping and handling activities are accounted for as activities to fulfill a promise to transfer a product to a customer and as such, costs incurred are recorded when the related revenue is recognized. Payment for products is due within a limited time period after shipment or delivery, typically within 30 to 90 calendar days of the respective invoice dates. The Company does not generally offer extended payment terms.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Certain contracts with customers, primarily distributor customers, have an element of variable consideration that is estimated when revenue is recognized under the contract. Variable consideration primarily includes volume incentive rebates, which are based on achieving a certain level of purchases and other performance criteria as established by our distributor programs. These rebates are estimated based on projected sales to the customer and accrued as a reduction of net sales as they are earned. The majority of our products are consumed by our customers or end users in the manufacture of their products. Historically, we have experienced very low levels of returned products and do not consider the effect of returned products to be material.
See "Note 18. Segment Data" for disaggregation of revenue by geography and end market.
Contract Balances
The Company records a contract asset when it has a right to payment from a customer that is conditioned on events that have occurred other than the passage of time. The Company also records a contract liability when customers prepay but the Company has not yet satisfied its performance obligation. The Company did not have any material remaining performance obligations, contract assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.
Practical Expedient
The Company pays sales commissions related to certain contracts, which qualify as incremental costs of obtaining a contract. However, the Company applies the practical expedient that allows an entity to recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less. These costs are recorded within operating expense in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

The net book value of these assets at closing was $29.5 million, and the changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and in purchases of property, plant and equipment previously reported, resulting in a decrease of $22.7 million to previously reported net cash flow provided by operating activities and a corresponding decrease to previously reported net cash flowpre-tax loss on divestiture recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $6.5 million. Transaction proceeds were primarily used for investing activities. The supplemental disclosure of non-cash information for changes in accounts payablecapital expenditures related to purchases of property, plant and equipment for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was also revised accordingly, at an increase of $11.2 million. The Company has evaluated these corrections and determined they were not material to the previously issued interim financial statements. The corrections had no effect on the previously issued annual consolidated financial statements.our simplification/modernization efforts.


5.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
5.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received on the sale of 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.

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 income, net.
The fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are 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 are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and other income, net when the underlying sale of products or services is recognized into earnings. The notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at MarchDecember 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018,2019, was $46.1$29.2 million and $62.9$61.5 million, respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at MarchDecember 31, 2019, we expect to recognize into earnings $0.6$0.1 million of incomeexpense on outstanding derivatives in the next 12 months.

11.LEASES
At the inception of our contracts we determine if the contract is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement. For leases that do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined considering factors such as the lease term, our credit rating and the economic environment of the location of the lease as of the commencement date.
We account for non-lease components separately from lease components. These costs often relate to the payments for a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other operating costs in addition to base rent. We also do not recognize ROU assets and liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Lease costs associated with leases of less than 12 months were $1.9 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
As a lessee, we have various operating lease agreements primarily related to real estate, vehicles and office and plant equipment. Our real estate leases, which are comprised primarily of manufacturing, warehousing, office and administration facilities, represent a majority of our lease liability. Our lease payments are largely fixed. Any variable lease payments, including utilities, common area maintenance and repairs and maintenance, are expensed during the period incurred. Variable lease costs were immaterial for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019. A majority of our real estate leases include options to extend the lease and options to early terminate the lease. Leases with an early termination option generally involve a termination payment. We review all options to extend, terminate, or purchase the ROU assets at the inception of the lease and account for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. Our lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or materially restrictive covenants. We do not have any material leases that have been signed but not commenced, and we did not have any lease transactions with related parties.
The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate for our operating leases were approximately 8.9 years and 3.4 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2019.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in operating expense on our consolidated statement of income. Operating lease cost was $4.2 million and $8.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
The following table sets forth supplemental cash flow information related to our operating leases:

12.LONG-TERM DEBT
Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in June 2018 (Credit Agreement), provides for revolving credit loans of up to $700 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 such covenants as of MarchDecember 31, 2019. We had no0 borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of MarchDecember 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.2019. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement matures in June 2023.
Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $606.8$630.8 million and $996.4$622.0 million at MarchDecember 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018,2019, respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market prices for similar debt instruments as of MarchDecember 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018,2019, respectively.
On July 9, 2018, the Company completed the early redemption of its previously outstanding $400.0 million of 2.650 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019.


12.13.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.
We establish and maintain reserves for certain potential environmental issues.liabilities. At MarchDecember 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018,2019, the balances of these reserves were $12.4$12.0 million and $12.6$12.4 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issuespotential remedial requirements and are generally not discounted.
The reserves we have established for potential 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), other governmental agencies and by the Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) groups in which we are participating. Although theour reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these potential 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.
Superfund Sites Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), under which we have been designated by the USEPA as a 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.


13.INCOME TAXES
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA)
The three primary items from TCJA that effect the Company for fiscal 2019 are the reduction in the statutory tax rate, the one-time tax that is imposed on our unremitted foreign earnings (Toll Tax) and the tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) which we elected to record as a period cost.
The U.S. federal tax rate reduction was effective as of January 1, 2018. As a June 30 fiscal year-end taxpayer, our fiscal 2018 U.S. federal statutory tax rate was a blended rate of 28.1 percent. Our U.S. federal statutory tax rate is 21.0 percent in fiscal 2019.
The finalized estimate of the total Toll Tax charge is $71.2 million as of March 31, 2019. Based on regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service and other relevant guidance issued through March 31, 2019, we recorded net benefits of $6.8 million and $9.7 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, to adjust the finalized estimate of the Toll Tax charge. We do not expect to make a cash payment associated with the Toll Tax.

14.INCOME TAXES
In addition to the direct effects of TCJA, the provisions of TCJA caused the Company to re-evaluate its permanent reinvestment assertion in all jurisdictions, concluding that a portion of the unremitted earnings and profits of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates will no longer be permanently reinvested. These changes in assertion required the recognition of aEffective tax charge of $6.1 million recorded in the December quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily for foreign withholding and U.S. state income taxes. The remaining amount of unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries continue to be indefinitely reinvested. With regard to the unremitted earnings which remain indefinitely reinvested, 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, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.
At this time, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to the fiscal 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements from the base erosion anti-abuse tax or a deduction for foreign-derived intangible income.
In accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, in the December quarter of fiscal 2019 we finalized our accounting for the impacts of the TCJA provisions enacted in fiscal 2018, including the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities at the reduced U.S. federal rate of 21.0 percent.
Effective Tax Ratesrates
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 and 2018 were 11.087.9 percent (benefit on a loss) and 31.224.8 percent (provision on income), respectively. The current quarter rate reflectsyear-over-year change is primarily due to a discrete $14.5 million benefit for the lowerone-time effect of Swiss tax reform, the impairment of Widia goodwill, the change in the jurisdictional mix caused by expected restructuring and related charges and the increase in tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT), which are both components of the U.S. federal statutory tax rateTax Cuts and a $6.8 million discrete benefit to adjust the Toll Tax charge based on regulations issued during the March quarterJobs Act of fiscal 2019.2017. The prior year rate includesincluded a discrete Toll Tax charge of $6.4 million.
The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 20.1 percent and 27.5 percent, respectively. The current year rate reflects the lower U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the $9.7 million discrete benefit associated with tax reform. It also includes the $6.1 million charge related to changes in the indefinite reinvestment assertion on certain foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings and a $3.9 million benefit recorded to reflect the finalization of the amount of the one-time tax imposed on our unremitted foreign earnings.
The effective income tax rates for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were 102.9 percent (benefit on a loss) and 24.9 percent (provision on income), respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to a discrete $14.5 million benefit for the one-time effect of Swiss tax reform, the impairment of Widia goodwill, the change in the jurisdictional mix caused by expected restructuring and related charges, the increase in GILTI and BEAT.
Swiss tax reform
Legislation was effectively enacted during the three months ended December 31, 2019 when the Canton of Schaffhausen approved the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing on October 8, 2019 (Swiss tax reform). Significant changes from Swiss tax reform include the abolishment of certain favorable tax regimes and the creation of a ten-year transitional period at both the federal and cantonal levels.
The transitional provisions of Swiss tax reform allow companies to utilize a combination of lower tax rates and tax basis adjustments to fair value, which are no longer considered permanently reinvested,used for tax depreciation and GILTI. The prior year rate includes charges relatedamortization purposes resulting in deductions over the transitional period. To reflect the federal and cantonal transitional provisions, as they apply to us, we recorded a deferred tax asset of $14.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019. We consider the deferred tax asset from Swiss tax reform to be an estimate based on our current interpretation of the legislation, which is subject to change based on further legislative guidance, review with the Swiss federal and cantonal authorities and modifications to an out of period adjustment.the underlying valuation.


14.15.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, 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.
The following tables provide the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018 and the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

17.18.GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
A summaryWidia Impairment Charge
In the December quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company experienced deteriorating market conditions, primarily in general engineering and transportation applications in India and China, in addition to overall global weakness in the manufacturing sector. In view of these declining conditions and the significant detrimental effect on cash flows and actual and projected revenue and earnings compared with our most recent annual impairment test, we determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred and performed an interim quantitative impairment test of our goodwill, indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset and other long-lived assets of our Widia reporting unit. We evaluated the recoverability of goodwill for the reporting unit by comparing the fair value with its carrying value, with the fair values determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based upon historical and projected financial information. As a result of this test, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2019 of $14.6 million in the Widia segment, of which $13.1 million was for goodwill and $1.5 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. These impairment charges are recorded in restructuring and asset impairment charges in our condensed consolidated statements of income. No impairment was recorded for the other Widia long-lived assets.
Divestiture Impact on Other Intangible Assets
During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we completed the sale of certain assets of the carrying amountnon-core specialty alloys and metals business within the Infrastructure segment, see Note 4. As a result of goodwill attributable to each segment, as well asthis transaction, other intangibles decreased by $12.5 million in our Infrastructure segment. This decrease was recorded in the changesloss on divestiture account in such carrying amounts, is as follows:our condensed consolidated statements of income.

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




OVERVIEW
Kennametal Inc. was founded based on a tungsten carbide technology breakthrough in 1938. The Company was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943 as a manufacturer of tungsten carbide metal cutting tooling. From this beginning,tooling and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 1967. With more than 80 years of materials expertise, the Company has grown intois a global industrial technology leader, inhelping customers across the aerospace, earthworks, energy, general engineering and transportation industries manufacture with precision and efficiency. This expertise includes the development and application of tungsten carbides, ceramics, super-hard materials and solutions used in metal cutting and mission-criticalextreme wear applications to combat extremekeep customers up and running longer against conditions associated with wear fatigue,such as corrosion and high temperatures. The Company's reputation for material technology, metal cutting application knowledge, as well as expertise and innovation in the development of custom solutions and services, contributes to its leading position in its primary markets.
Our standard and custom product offering includes a wide selection of standardspans metalworking and customized technologies for metalworkingwear applications such asincluding turning, milling, hole making, tooling systems and services.services, as well as specialized wear components and metallurgical powders. End users of the Company'sour metalworking products include manufacturers engaged in a diverse array of industries including: the manufacturers of transportation vehicles and components, machine tools and light and heavy machinery; airframe and aerospace components; and energy-related components for the oil and gas industry, as well as power generation.
In addition, we produce specialized Our wear components and metallurgical powders that are used for custom-engineered and challenging applications. End users of these products includeby producers and suppliers in equipment-intensive operations such as coal mining, road construction, mining, quarrying, oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply.
Throughout the MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance. We also refer to a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), including organic sales growth,decline, constant currency regional sales (decline) growth (decline) and constant currency end market sales growth (decline).decline. We provide the definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures at the end of the MD&A section as well as details on the use and derivation of these financial measures.
Our sales of $597.2$505.1 million for the quarter ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 decreased 214 percent year-over-year, reflecting 412 percent organic sales decline from deteriorating end markets, a 1 percent unfavorable currency exchange effect and a 1 percent unfavorable business day effect, partially offset by 3 percent organic sales growth.decline from divestiture. The Company delivered organic sales growthdecline reflects weakening end-market conditions, particularly from greater than expected deceleration in every business segment on tough comparables,the U.S., Germany and end markets remained generally positive except for transportation.India, combined with headwinds developing in the 737 MAX supply chain.
Operating incomeloss was $81.9$47.6 million, compared to $80.8operating income of $78.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increaseyear-over-year change in operating income reflectswas primarily due to higher restructuring and related charges of $48.9 million, organic sales growth, incremental simplification/modernization benefits and lower compensation expense, partially offset bydecline, unfavorable volume-related labor and fixed cost absorption in certain facilities in part due to lower volumes and simplification/modernization efforts in progress, $14.6 million of goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, higher raw material costs, and unfavorable currency exchange. Price realization exceeded raw material cost inflation, anda loss on divestiture of $6.5 million, partially offset by incremental simplification/modernization benefits. Operating loss margin was 9.4 percent, compared to operating income margin improved to 13.7 percent from 13.3of 13.4 percent in the prior year quarter. TheHigher raw material costs, which we expect to abate in the second half of fiscal 2020, had a detrimental effect on year-over-year operating margin of approximately 130 basis points. Segment operating loss margins were 6.9 percent, 35.9 percent and 6.4 percent for the Industrial, Widia and Infrastructure segments, had operating margins of 18.0 percentrespectively.
FY20 and 11.0 percent, respectively, while Widia operating income was break-even.
We announced detailsFY21 Restructuring Actions are on-track to deliver the projected savings, and we expect profitability in the second half of the next phase of restructuring associated with simplification/modernization. These actions are expectedfiscal year to reduce structural costs and are currently estimatedreflect increasing benefits from these programs in addition to achieve $35-$40 million of annualized savings by the end of fiscal 2020. The Company is expected to incur pre-tax charges of $55-$65 million through fiscal 2019 and 2020 for these restructuring activities.
In connection with our previous phase of our substantially completed simplification/modernization initiative, welower raw material costs. We recorded $3$51.3 million of pre-tax restructuring and related charges in the current quarter, and incremental pre-tax benefits from simplification/modernization restructuring were approximately $3 million in the quarter. AnnualizedTotal benefits from simplification/modernization, including restructuring initiatives, were approximately $11 million in the quarter. We achieved annualized run-rate pre-tax benefitssavings from simplification/modernization of approximately $12$69 million since inception.
As part of the FY20 Restructuring Actions, we completed the full closures of the Lichtenau, Germany and Irwin, Pennsylvania manufacturing facilities. Additionally, distribution activities at the Neunkirchen, Germany distribution center have been achievedtransitioned to third-party logistics providers. As previously announced, we also expect to deliver the FY21 Restructuring Actions with the original estimated annualized savings of $25 to $30 million, but with lower estimated pre-tax charges of approximately $55 to $65 million, down from $60 to $75 million. Following negotiations with local employee representatives, we agreed to downsize the Essen, Germany operations rather than proceed with the previously proposed closure. Since the inception of simplification/modernization, we have taken steps to permanently reduce our cost structure, decreasing footprint by five facilities.
We also completed the divestiture of the non-core specialty alloys business in connection with these substantially completedthe Infrastructure segment as part of our ongoing simplification/modernization initiatives.
We reported current quarter earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.82, which is our tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year EPS growth. EPS for Cash proceeds from the current quarter includes a discrete benefit from U.S. tax reform of $0.08sale were $24 million, and restructuring and related charges ofthe pre-tax loss on the sale was $7 million, or $0.03 per share.

The divestiture is expected to be accretive to margins.
We had a net cash inflow from operating activities of $157.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $157.9 million during the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures were $145.9 million and $105.6 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with the increase due in part to higher spending for modernization.

In the June quarter of fiscal 2018, we implemented and substantially completed restructuring actionsThe pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to simplify the Industrial segment's cost structure by directing resources to more profitable business and increasing sales force productivity. We supplemented this with the rationalization of small manufacturing facilitiesbe in the range of $55 million to $65 million, which are expected to be 80 percent Industrial, 15 percent Infrastructure and Industrial segments, which we expect to complete in fiscal 2019. Total restructuring5 percent Widia. Restructuring and related charges since inception of $17.4$44.5 million have beenwere recorded for this program through MarchDecember 31, 2019.2019, consisting of: $36.6 million in Industrial, $5.8 million in Infrastructure and $2.2 million in Widia. Inception to date, we have achieved annualized savings of approximately $16 million.
FY21 Restructuring Actions
On July 11, 2019, we announced the initiation of restructuring actions in Germany associated with simplification/modernization, which are expected to reduce structural costs. We have agreed with local employee representatives to downsize the Essen, Germany operations instead of the previously proposed closure. We are also evaluating the acceleration of other facility closures as part of these restructuring activities. These actions are expected to deliver estimated annualized savings of $25 million to $30 million, be completed by the end of fiscal 2021 and be primarily cash expenditures.
The pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be in the range of $55 million to $65 million, which is expected to be primarily in the Industrial segment. Restructuring and related charges since inception of $28.7 million were recorded for this program through December 31, 2019 in the Industrial segment.
Restructuring and Related Charges Recorded
We recorded restructuring and related charges of $3.7$51.3 million and $1.7$2.1 million for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $2.6 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively,totaled $48.0 million, of which expense of $0.2$0.3 million and benefit of $0.2 million waswere related to inventory and waswere recorded in cost of goods sold, and restructuring charges for the three months ended December 31, 2018 totaled $1.5 million. Restructuring-related charges of $3.3 million and $0.6 million were recorded in cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Restructuring-related charges of $0.9 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $0.1 million of expense and $0.3 million of benefit were recorded in operating expense for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
We recorded restructuring and related charges of $6.8 million and $10.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $5.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of which expense of $0.2 million and benefit of $0.2 million was related to inventory and were recorded in cost of goods sold for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Restructuring-related charges of $1.4 million and $3.3 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $0.1 million were recorded in operating expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased to $8.1 million compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 increased to $24.3 million compared to $21.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Both increases were primarily due to the incremental interest expense associated with the $300.0 million of 4.625 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 issued in June 2018. On July 9, 2018, the Company completed the early redemption of its previously outstanding $400.0 million of 2.650 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019.

OTHER INCOME, NET
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased to $5.0 million compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 increased to $11.8 million compared to $11.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Both increases were primarily due to lower foreign currency transaction losses, partially offset by lower pension income in the current period.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 11.0 percent and 31.2 percent, respectively. The current quarter rate reflects the lower U.S. federal statutory tax rate and a $6.8 million discrete benefit to adjust the Toll Tax charge based on regulations issued during the March quarter of fiscal 2019. The prior year rate includes a discrete Toll Tax charge of $6.4 million.

Intangible Asset Impairment Charges
We recorded non-cash pre-tax intangible asset impairment charges related to tax reform and to an out of period adjustment.
$14.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019. See Note 13 in18 to our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


LOSS ON DIVESTITURE
During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we completed the sale of certain assets of the non-core specialty alloys and metals business within the Infrastructure segment located in New Castle, Pennsylvania to Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. for an aggregate price of $24.0 million.
The net book value of these assets at closing was $29.5 million, and the pre-tax loss on divestiture recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $6.5 million. Transaction proceeds were primarily used for capital expenditures related to our simplification/modernization efforts.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $8.1 million. Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2019 decreased to $15.9 million compared to $16.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018.
OTHER INCOME, NET
Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 increased slightly to $4.2 million from $4.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2018. Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2019 increased slightly to $6.9 million from $6.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Effective tax rates
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were 87.9 percent (benefit on a loss) and 24.8 percent (provision on income), respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to a discrete $14.5 million benefit for the one-time effect of Swiss tax reform, the impairment of Widia goodwill, the change in the jurisdictional mix caused by expected restructuring and related charges and the increase in tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT), which are both components of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The prior year rate included a $6.1 million charge related to changes in the indefinite reinvestment assertion on certain foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings and a $3.9 million benefit recorded to reflect the finalization of the amount of the one-time tax imposed on our unremitted foreign earnings.
The effective income tax rates for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were 102.9 percent (benefit on a loss) and 24.9 percent (provision on income), respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to a discrete $14.5 million benefit for the one-time effect of Swiss tax reform, the impairment of Widia goodwill, the change in the jurisdictional mix caused by expected restructuring and related charges, the increase in GILTI and BEAT.
Swiss tax reform
Legislation was effectively enacted during the three months ended December 31, 2019 when the Canton of Schaffhausen approved the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing on October 8, 2019 (Swiss tax reform). Significant changes from Swiss tax reform include the abolishment of certain favorable tax regimes and the creation of a ten-year transitional period at both the federal and cantonal levels.

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



The transitional provisions of Swiss tax reform allow companies to utilize a combination of lower tax rates and tax basis adjustments to fair value, which are used for tax depreciation and amortization purposes resulting in deductions over the transitional period. To reflect the federal and cantonal transitional provisions, as they apply to us, we recorded a deferred tax asset of $14.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019. We consider the deferred tax asset from Swiss tax reform to be an estimate based on our current interpretation of the legislation, which is subject to change based on further legislative guidance, review with the Swiss federal and cantonal authorities and modifications to the underlying valuation.
We currently expect a modestly unfavorable effect on our Swiss tax expense during the ten-year transitional period.

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.

For the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019, Industrial sales decreased 412 percent from the prior year quarter but grew 1 percent excluding the impact from foreign currency exchange. Sales in aerospace benefited from higher demand for engines and frames globally as well as strength in accessory sales in the Americas. General engineering sales experienced growth in all three regions from strength in the indirect channel. Energy sales declined in the current quarter due to a deceleration in activityslower conditions across all end markets and regions. Transportation sales declined in the Americas and EMEA due to continued weakness in auto build rates, while transportation in Asia stabilized with slight growth in the quarter. Sales in our general engineering end market declined in all regions as a result of continued declines in manufacturing activity. Energy sales decreased primarily due to a decline in oil and gas drilling in the Americas, partially offset by continued strength in Asia.renewable energy in China. Aerospace sales declined in all regions primarily driven by lower OEM production rates on certain platforms. The sales decreases in the Americas and in EMEA were primarily driven by declines in the transportation and general engineering end markets, in addition to declines in the energy and Americas aerospace end markets. The sales decrease in Asia Pacific was primarily driven by declines in the general engineering end market, partially offset by increases in the transportation and energy end markets.
For the three months ended December 31, 2019, Industrial operating loss was $19.3 million compared to operating income of $57.5 million in the prior year quarter. The change was driven primarily by greater restructuring and related charges of $47.5 million, organic sales decline, unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption in certain facilities due to lower volumes and simplification/modernization efforts in progress and higher compensation expense, partially offset by incremental simplification/modernization benefits.
For the six months ended December 31, 2019, Industrial sales decreased 12 percent from the prior year period. Transportation sales were downdeclined in all three regions due to continued weakness in auto build rates, while sales in our general engineering end market declined in all regions driven by overall continued declined in global manufacturing activity. Energy sales decreased primarily due to lower production levelsa decline in oil and gas drilling in the Americas, partially offset by continued strength in renewable energy in China Germany. Aerospace sales declined in all regions driven primarily by lower OEM production rates on certain platforms and India.timing of large projects in the first quarter of the prior year that did not repeat. The sales increasedecrease in EMEA was primarily due to a decline in the transportation and general engineering end markets but was also due to a decline in the energy end market. The sales decrease in the Americas was driven primarily by increases in the aerospace and general engineering end markets, partially offset by a decrease in transportation. The slight decline in EMEA, excluding the unfavorable impact of currency exchange, was mostly due to a decrease in transportation, partially offset by increasesdeclines in the general engineering and transportation end markets, in addition to declines in the energy and aerospace end markets. The sales decrease in Asia Pacific was primarily driven by declines in the general engineering and transportation end markets and, to a lesser extent, a decline in the transportationaerospace end market, partially offset by an increase in the general engineeringenergy end market.
For the threesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019, Industrial operating income increaseddecreased by $7.0$114.0 million, driven primarily by greater restructuring and related charges of $53.5 million, organic sales growthdecline and incremental simplification/modernization benefits, partially offset by unfavorable volume-related labor and fixed cost absorption in certain facilities in part due to lower volumes and simplification/modernization efforts in progress and unfavorable currency exchange impact of approximately $4 million.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, Industrial sales increased 1 percent from the prior year period. Sales in aerospace were higher in all three regions driven by higher demand for engines and frames globally. General engineering sales were also higher in all three regions driven by strength in the indirect channel particularly in the Americas and a more robust light and general engineering sector in EMEA. Energy growth was driven primarily by oil and gas drilling in the Americas. Transportation sales declined in all three regions due to weaker market conditions, specifically in Asia and EMEA. The sales increase in the Americas was primarily driven by the performance in the aerospace and general engineering end markets,compensation expense, partially offset by a decline in transportation. The sales increases in both EMEA and Asia Pacific, excluding the unfavorable impact of currency exchange, were primarily driven by growth in the general engineering and aerospace end markets, partially offset by a decline in transportation.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, Industrial operating income increased by $50.5 million, driven primarily by organic sales growth, incremental simplification/modernization benefits and favorable mix, partially offset by unfavorable volume-related labor and fixed cost absorption in certain facilities in part due to simplification/modernization efforts in progress, unfavorable currency exchange impact of approximately $8 million and higher raw material costs.benefits.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, Widia sales decreased 9 percent from the prior year period. The sales decrease in Asia Pacific for both periods was driven primarily by the overall weak market conditions, most notably in India, which accelerated in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, and in China. Sales in EMEA decreased in both periods primarily due to the increasingly difficult market environment, partially offset by growth in products focused on aerospace applications, while the decreases in the Americas was primarily due to a slower U.S. manufacturing environment, partially offset by strength in Mexico.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Widia sales decreased 2 percent from the prior year quarter, but grew 3 percent excluding the impact from foreign currency exchange and business days. Growth in EMEA, excluding the unfavorable impact of currency exchange, reflects continuing progress with aerospace growth initiatives, followed by sales growth in Asia Pacific, excluding the unfavorable impact of currency exchange, which reflects some short-term market softness in India. In the Americas, we continued to make steady progress in establishing an effective distribution network in order to improve profitability.
For the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019, Widia operating incomeloss was break-even$15.9 million compared with $1.3 millionto operating income of $1.7 million in the prior year quarter. The change in operating income was driven primarily by lower margins from one-time$14.6 million of goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, organic sales decline and higher raw material costs, associated with simplification efforts to streamline the product portfolio and $0.6 million higher restructuring and related charges in the current quarter, partially offset by organic sales growth.incremental simplification/modernization benefits. Higher raw material costs, which are expected to abate in the second half of fiscal 2020, had a detrimental effect on year-over-year operating margin of approximately 230 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

For the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019, Infrastructure sales increaseddecreased by 218 percent from the prior year quarter. The increasequarter primarily as a result of lower activity in salesthe oil and gas portion of the energy end market in the U.S.. In general engineering, is driven primarily by more robustthe lower level of manufacturing activity drove the decline in the Americas and Asia Pacific, offset by increased defense related activity in EMEA. Earthworks end market sales were down year-over-year due to softness in mining in the Americas and EMEA, partially offset by growth in Asia Pacific mining. On a regional basis, the sales decrease in the Americas was primarily driven by a decline in the energy end market and, to a lesser extent, declines in both the general engineering and earthworks end markets. The sales decrease in Asia Pacific was primarily due to a decline in the general engineering end market, partially offset by increases in the earthworks and energy end markets. In EMEA, the sales increase, excluding the unfavorable impact of currency exchange, was driven primarily by growth in the general engineering end market, partially offset by declines in both the energy and earthworks end markets.
For the three months ended December 31, 2019, Infrastructure operating loss was $11.6 million compared to operating income of $20.6 million in the prior year quarter. The change was driven primarily by organic sales decline, higher manufacturing costs, a loss on divestiture of $6.5 million, unfavorable mix and higher raw material costs, partially offset by incremental simplification/modernization benefits. Higher raw material costs, which are expected to abate in the second half of fiscal 2020, had a detrimental effect on year-over-year operating margin of approximately 180 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2019.
For the six months ended December 31, 2019, Infrastructure sales decreased by 14 percent from the prior year period.

The sales decrease in the Americas was primarily driven by a decline in the energy end market, but also due to a decline in the general engineering end market. The decrease in Asia Pacific was primarily due to a decline in the general engineering end market, partially offset by growth in the energy end market.

The slight decline in Asia Pacific, excluding the unfavorable impact of currency exchange, was driven by a decline inboth the energy end market.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Infrastructure operating income decreased by $5.2 million driven primarily by higher raw material costs and manufacturing expenses, partially offset by organic sales growth and and incremental simplification/modernization benefits.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, Infrastructure sales increased by 5 percent from the prior year period. Strong growth in general engineering was driven primarily by more robust activity in the Americas and EMEA, while increases in process industries and the U.S. oil and gas market drove year-over-year growth in energy. Earthworks end market sales were down year-over-year due to softness in mining in the Americas, offset by growth in Asia Pacific. The sales increase in the Americas was driven primarily by growth in the general engineering and energy end markets, partially offset by a decrease in earthworks; while the sales increase in Asia Pacific was driven by growth in all three end markets: earthworks, general engineering, and energy. The sales increase in EMEA, excluding the unfavorable impact of currency exchange, was driven by the general engineering and energy end markets, partially offset by a decline in the earthworks end market.markets.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, Infrastructure operating income decreased by $4.9 million driven primarily by higher raw material costs and manufacturing expenses and an unfavorable currency exchange impact of approximately $2 million, partially offset by organic sales growth, incremental simplification/modernization benefits, favorable mix and $1.2 million less restructuring and related charges in the current period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow from operations is the primary source of funding for our capital expenditures. For the six months ended December 31, 2019, cash flow provided by operating activities was $87.1 million, primarily due to 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 June 2018 (Credit Agreement), is used to augment cash from operations and is an additional source of funds. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit loans of up to $700.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euros, Canadian dollars, pounds 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 June 2023.
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 such covenants as of MarchDecember 31, 2019. For the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019, average daily borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were approximately $16.1$5.1 million. We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of MarchDecember 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.2019. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.
The finalized estimate ofWe consider the total Toll Tax charge is $71.2 million as of March 31, 2019. Based on regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service and other relevant guidance issued through March 31, 2019, we recorded net benefits of $6.8 million and $9.7 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, to adjust the finalized estimate of the Toll Tax charge. We do not expect to make a cash payment associated with the Toll Tax.
In addition to the direct effects of TCJA, the provisions of TCJA caused the Company to re-evaluate its permanent reinvestment assertion in all jurisdictions, concluding that a portionmajority of the unremitted earnings and profits of certainour non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates will no longerto be permanently reinvested. These changes in assertion required the recognition of a tax charge of $6.1 million recorded in the December quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily for foreign withholding and U.S. state income taxes. The remaining amount of unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries continue to be indefinitely reinvested. With regard to thethese unremitted earnings, which remain indefinitely reinvested, 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, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements. With regard to the small portion of unremitted earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested, we maintain a deferred tax liability for foreign withholding and U.S. state income taxes.
In 2012, we received an assessment from the Italian tax authority that denied certain tax deductions primarily related to our 2008 tax return. Attempts at negotiating a reasonable settlement with the tax authority were unsuccessful; and as a result, we decided to litigate the matter. While the outcome of the litigation is still pending, the authority has served notice requiring payment in the amount of €36 million. Accordingly, we requested and were granted a stay and are not currently required to make a payment in connection with this assessment. We continue to believe that the assessment is baseless and accordingly, no income tax liability has been recorded in connection with this assessment in any period. However, if the Italian tax authority were to be successful in litigation, settlement of the amount alleged by the Italian tax authority would result in an increase to income tax expense for as much as €36 million, or $40 million, of which penalties and interest is €20 million, or $23 million.
At MarchDecember 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $112.6$105.2 million, Total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,325.1$1,306.2 million and total debt was $592.1$595.3 million. Our current senior credit ratings are at investment grade levels. We believe that our current financial position, liquidity and credit ratings provide us 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.
Other than the completion of the early redemption of our previously outstanding $400.0 million of 2.650 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019 on July 9, 2018, there There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2018.2019.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition Effective July 1, 2018 with the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, our critical accounting policy for revenue recognition has been modified. 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 our revenue accounting policy.
There have been no other changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2018.

At December 31, 2019, other assets were $578.5 million, an increase of $47.9 million from $530.5 million at June 30, 2019. The primary driver for the increase was the addition of operating lease ROU assets of $50.2 million in the quarter due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard without a restatement of prior periods and an increase in other assets of $18.7 million primarily due to an increase in pension plan assets, partially offset by a decrease in other intangible assets of $19.6 million, which was primarily due to divestiture effect of $12.5 million, amortization expense of $7.0 million and an impairment charge recorded in the Widia segment of $1.5 million and a decrease in goodwill of $14.2 million primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge recorded in the Widia segment of $13.1 million and an unfavorable currency exchange effects of approximately $1 million.
Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,306.2 million at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $29.0 million from $1,335.2 million at June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to cash dividends paid to Kennametal Shareholders of $33.1 million, unfavorable currency exchange effects of $8.8 million and net income attributable to Kennametal of $0.5 million, partially offset by capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $8.3 million and pension and other postretirement benefit effects in other comprehensive loss of $3.5 million.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2019.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets 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 goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assetsasset using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected financial information. We perform our annual impairment tests for 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 warrants a test prior to that quarter.
In the December quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company experienced deteriorating market conditions, primarily in general engineering and transportation applications in India and China, in addition to overall global weakness in the manufacturing sector. In view of these declining conditions and the significant detrimental effect on cash flows and actual and projected revenue and earnings compared with our most recent annual impairment test, we determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred and performed an interim quantitative impairment test of our goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of our Widia reporting unit. As a result of this interim test, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2019 of $14.6 million in the Widia segment, of which $13.1 million was for goodwill and $1.5 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset.
The carrying values of the Widia reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark of $14.0 million and $13.0 million, respectively, approximate fair values as of the interim test date. 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 interim and annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. Certain factorsevents or circumstances that could furtherreasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value, leading to a potential impairment invalues of our reporting units and of the future, includingindefinite-lived trademark may include such items such as: (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, specifically, a further decrease in sales volume driven by a prolonged weakness in consumercustomer demand or other competitive pressures adversely affecting our long-term volume trends and an inability to successfully achieve our cost savings targets; andsales trends; (ii) inability to achieve all of the anticipated benefits from simplificationsimplification/modernization and modernization actions assumed. Forother cost reduction programs and (iii) inability to achieve the Widia reporting unit, recently certain factors have deteriorated, and as such we considered the potential for impairment. Whilesales from our review did not indicate an impairment triggering event as of March 31, 2019, it did indicate a likely decrease in the excess of fair value over carrying value compared to our most recent impairment test during the June quarter of fiscal 2018. We expect to perform our annual impairment tests for fiscal 2019 during the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process.strategic growth initiatives.

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



RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL MEASURES NOT DEFINED BY U.S. GAAP
In accordance with SEC rules, below are the definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures we use in this report and the reconciliation of these measures to the most closely related GAAP financial measure.measures. 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. TheseWe believe 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 (decline) Organic sales growth (decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (decline) (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. We believe this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth decline on a consistent basis. Also, we report organic sales growth (decline) at the consolidated and segment levels.
Constant currency end market sales growth (decline) Constant currency end market sales growth (decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (decline)decline (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) by end market excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We note that, unlike organic sales growth (decline), constant currency end market sales growth (decline) does not exclude the impact of business days. We believe this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying end market trends by providing end market sales growth (decline) on a consistent basis. Also, we report constant currency end market sales growth (decline) at the consolidated and segment levels. Widia sales are reported only in the general engineering end market. Therefore, we do not provide constant currency end market sales growth (decline) for the Widia segment and, thus, do not include a reconciliation for that metric.
Constant currency regional sales growth (decline) Constant currency regional sales growth (decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (decline) (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) by region excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We note that, unlike organic sales growth, constant currency regional sales growth (decline) does not exclude the impact of business days. We believe this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying regional trends by providing regional sales growth (decline) on a consistent basis. Also, we report constant currency regional sales growth (decline) at the consolidated and segment levels.

(1) Foreign currency exchange impact is calculated by dividing the difference between current period sales at prior period foreign exchange rates and prior period sales by prior period sales.
(2) Business days impact is calculated by dividing the year-over-year change in weighted average working days (based on mix of sales by country) by prior period weighted average working days.
(3) Divestiture impact is calculated by dividing prior period sales attributable to divested businesses by prior period sales.
(4) Aggregate sales for all end markets sum to the sales amount presented on Kennametal's financial statements.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). The Company's disclosure controls were designed to provide a reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance at MarchDecember 31, 2019 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.
