This 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. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q may concern, among other things, Kennametal’s expectations regarding our strategy, goals, plans and projections regarding our financial position, liquidity and capital resources, results of operations, market position, and product development, all of which are based on current estimates that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties related to: economic recession; anticipated benefits resulting from our recently completed restructuring activities; availability and cost of the raw materials we use to manufacture our products; our foreign operations and international markets, such as currency exchange rates, different regulatory environments, trade barriers, exchange controls, and social and political instability; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate, including environmental, health and safety regulations; our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property; competition; our ability to retain our management and employees; demands on management resources; potential claims relating to our products; integrating acquisitions and achieving the expected savings and synergies; business divestitures; global or regional catastrophic events; energy costs; commodity prices; labor relations; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; and implementation of environmental remediation matters. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual outcomes could vary materially from those indicated. These and other risks are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” Section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943. Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Kennametal or the Company) are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence, as well as our technological expertise and innovation in our principle products, has helped us to achieve a leading market presence in our primary markets. End users of our products include metalworking manufacturers and suppliers across a diverse array of industries, including the aerospace, defense, transportation, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery industries, as well as manufacturers, producers and suppliers in a number of other industries including coal mining, highway construction, quarrying, and oil and gas exploration and production industries. Our end users’ products include items ranging from airframes to coal mining, engines to oil wells and turbochargers to construction. We operate two global business segments consisting of Industrial and Infrastructure.

The condensed consolidated financial statements, which include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2011 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 adjustments. The results for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 and ~~2010~~2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a “year” is to a fiscal year ended June 30. For example, a reference to 2012 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. When used in this Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

As of January 1, 2012, Kennametal adopted changes to fair value measurements and disclosure. Many of the amendments in this guidance represent clarifications to existing guidance or changes in the measurement guidance for determining fair value. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements. Disclosures will be required about the use of a nonfinancial asset measured or disclosed at fair value if its use differs from its highest and best use. In addition, entities must report the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value but where fair value is disclosed. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) deferred the requirement to present reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. Companies would still be required to adopt the other requirements contained in the accounting guidance on presentation of other comprehensive income. ~~This guidance is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2012.~~

In September 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2012.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. An entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. Each component of net income and other comprehensive income, together with totals for comprehensive income and its two parts, net income and other comprehensive income, would need to be displayed under either alternative. This guidance is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2012.

In ~~May~~September 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance on ~~fair value measurements and disclosure.~~testing goodwill for impairment. The ~~objective of this~~ guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and international financial reporting standards (IFRS). Many of the amendments in this guidance represent clarifications to existing guidance or changes in the measurement guidance for determining fair value. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements. Disclosures will be required about the use of a nonfinancial asset measured or disclosed at fair value if its use differs from its highest and best use. In addition, entities must report the level inmore likely than not that the fair value ~~hierarchy~~ of ~~assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value but where fair value~~a reporting unit is ~~disclosed.~~less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for Kennametal beginning ~~January~~July 1, 2012.

On March 1, 2012, the Company acquired all of the shares of Deloro Stellite Holdings 1 Limited (Stellite) pursuant to the terms of the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated January 13, 2012. The U.K.-based Stellite is a global manufacturer and provider of alloy-based critical wear solutions for extreme environments involving high temperature, corrosion and abrasion. Stellite employs approximately 1,300 people across seven primary operating facilities globally, including locations in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Italy, India and China. Stellite’s proprietary metal alloys, materials expertise, engineering design and fabrication capabilities complement Kennametal’s current business in the oil and gas, power generation, transportation and aerospace end markets. This acquisition is in alignment with Kennametal’s growth strategy and positions us to further achieve geographic and end market balance.

Kennametal acquired Stellite for a purchase price of approximately $383 million; net of cash acquired, and funded the acquisition through existing credit facilities and operating cash flows. As part of the acquisition of Stellite, Kennametal incurred for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, $5.7 million of acquisition related costs, which are included in operating expense.

This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2012 reflects the preliminary allocation of the purchase price and is subject to revision when appraisals are finalized, which is expected to occur in the June quarter of 2012.

The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

Net assets acquired	$	382,562

In connection with this acquisition, we identified and valued certain intangible assets, including existing customer relationships, technologies and trademarks, as further discussed in Note 18. The goodwill recorded of $235.9 million is not deductible for tax purposes and is attributable to the operating synergies we expect to gain from the acquisition. These intangible assets are part of the Infrastructure segment.

Stellite realized net sales of $22.5 million and a net loss of $4.7 million during the month ended March 31, 2012 to the Company, including $5.7 million of acquisition related pre-tax costs.

The following unaudited pro forma summary of operating results presents the consolidated results of operations as if the Stellite acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2010. These amounts were calculated after the conversion to U.S. GAAP, applying our accounting policies and adjusting Stellite’s results to reflect increased depreciation and amortization expense resulting from recording fixed assets and intangible assets at fair value and decreasing interest expense to reflect Kennametal’s more favorable borrowing rate, together with the related tax effects. The pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 excluded $5.7 million of acquisition related pre-tax costs. The pro forma results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 includes $2.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, of acquisition related expenses. The pro forma results have been presented for comparative purposes only and are not indicative of future results of operations or what would have occurred had the acquisition been made on July 1, 2010.

Unaudited pro forma summary of operating results of the Company, assuming the acquisition had occurred as of July 1, 2010 are as follows:

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.

As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011,~~2012, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:

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 use derivative financial instruments to provide predictability to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our consolidated results and to achieve our targeted mix of fixed and floating interest rates on outstanding debt. We account for derivative instruments as a hedge of the related asset, liability, firm commitment or anticipated transaction, when the derivative is specifically designated as a hedge of such items. Our objective in managing foreign exchange exposures with derivative instruments is to reduce volatility in cash flow, allowing us to focus more of our attention on business operations. With respect to interest rate management, these derivative instruments allow us to achieve our targeted fixed-to-floating interest rate mix as a separate decision from funding arrangements in the bank and public debt markets. We measure hedge effectiveness by assessing the changes in the fair value or expected future cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portions are recorded in other (income) expense, ~~(income),~~ net.

The fair value of derivatives designated in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

Certain currency forward contracts ~~hedging~~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 balance sheet, with the offset to other (income) expense, net.

In February 2009, we terminated interest rate swap contracts to convert $200.0 million of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. These contracts were originally set to mature in June 2012. Upon termination, we received a cash payment of $13.2 million. This gain is being amortized as a component of interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011,~~2012, $1.5 million and ~~$3.0~~$4.4 million, respectively, were recognized as a reduction in interest expense. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2010, $1.4~~2011, $1.5 million and ~~$2.9~~$4.4 million, respectively, were recognized as a reduction in interest expense.

Currency forward contracts and range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold), designated as cash flow hedges, 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)~~ income, net of tax, and are recognized as a component of other (income) expense, net when the underlying sale of products or services is recognized into earnings. The notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at ~~December~~March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, ~~and 2010,~~ was ~~$68.0~~$43.1 million and ~~$64.1~~$37.6 million, respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range ~~forwards~~forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011,~~2012, we expect to recognize a gain of ~~$1.0~~$0.3 million in the next 12 months on outstanding derivatives.

We enter into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, from time to time to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes on a portion of our floating rate debt. These interest rate swap contracts convert a portion of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. We record the fair value of these contracts as an asset or a liability, as applicable, in the balance sheet, with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive ~~(loss)~~ income, net of tax.

In ~~December 2011,~~February 2012, we ~~amended the maturity date of our~~settled forward starting interest rate swap contracts ~~for forecasted interest payments in an anticipated debt issuance. These contracts effectively~~to convert ~~a cumulative notional amount of~~ $150.0 million ~~from~~of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Upon settlement, we made a cash payment of $22.4 million. The loss is being amortized as a component of interest ~~rates. The amendment~~expense over the term of the ~~existing contracts resulted in a de-designation of~~related debt using the ~~original cash flow hedge~~effective interest rate method. During the three and ~~a designation of a new cash flow hedge~~nine months ended March 31, 2012, $0.3 million was recognized as ~~the forecasted transaction continues to be probable. Hedge ineffectiveness was determined to be immaterial for the new cash flow hedge.~~interest expense. As of ~~December 31, 2011 and~~ June 30, 2011, we recorded a liability of ~~$22.9 million and~~ $2.4 million ~~respectively,~~ on these contracts which was recorded as ~~an offset in~~a decrease to other comprehensive income, net of tax. Over the next 12 months, assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at December 31, 2011, we do not expect to recognize into earnings any significant gains or losses on outstanding derivatives.

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 ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 and ~~2010.~~2011.

Restructuring and related charges recorded during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2010~~2011 amounted to ~~$9.4~~$14.9 million, including ~~$7.1~~$8.7 million of restructuring charges of which ~~$0.5~~$1.0 million were related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring-related charges of ~~$1.5~~$3.0 million and ~~$0.8~~$3.2 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and operating expense, respectively, during the same period.

The restructuring accrual is recorded in other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the amount attributable to each segment is as follows:

On November 26, 2007, the Company adopted a one-time, long-term equity program, the Kennametal Inc. 2008 Strategic Transformational Equity Program, under the 2002 Plan (STEP). The STEP was designed to compensate participating executives for achievement of certain performance conditions during the period which began on October 1, 2007 and ended on September 30, 2011. Each participant was awarded a maximum number of restricted stock units, each representing a contingent right to receive one share of capital stock of the Company to the extent the unit was earned during the performance period and would have become payable under the STEP. The performance conditions were based on the Company’s total shareholder return (TSR) which governed 35 percent of the awarded restricted stock units, and cumulative adjusted earnings per share (EPS), which governed 65 percent of the awarded restricted stock units. The performance period for the STEP ended on September 30, 2011 and the minimum threshold levels of performance were not achieved. Therefore, all outstanding restricted stock units were forfeited by participating executives. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011,~~2012, no restricted stock units had been earned or paid under the STEP. There were no voting rights or dividends associated with restricted stock units under the STEP.

Changes to the EPS performance-based portion of the STEP restricted stock units for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 were as follows:

We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for approximately 5349 percent and 50 percent of total inventories at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Because 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.

~~Current maturities~~On February 14, 2012, we issued $300 million of ~~long-term debt~~3.875 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2022. Interest will be paid semi-annually on February 15 and ~~capital lease obligations consist primarily~~August 15 of each year. We settled forward starting interest rate swap contracts related to the bond issuance as further discussed in Note 7. We intend to apply the net proceeds from this notes offering to the repayment of our outstanding 7.20 percent Senior Unsecured Notes at their June 15, 2012 maturity. Pending such use, proceeds will be utilized to repay outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

The 7.20 percent 10 year Senior Unsecured Notes issued in June 2002 ~~having~~with an aggregate face amount of ~~$300.0~~$300 million ~~maturing in~~were reclassified to current maturities of long-term debt as of June ~~2012.~~30, 2011.

On October 21, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our 2010 Credit Agreement, which is used to augment cash from operations and as an additional source of funds. The five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (2011 Credit Agreement) permits revolving credit loans of up to $600.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The 2011 Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the 2011 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 2011 Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011.~~2012. We had no$29.2 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011.~~2012. We had no borrowings outstanding under the 2010 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2011.

Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of ~~$307.6~~$604.6 million and $315.8 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

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

Superfund Sites We are involved as a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) at various sites designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ~~(US EPA)~~(USEPA) as Superfund sites. For certain of these sites, we have evaluated the claims and potential liabilities and have determined that neither are material, individually or in the aggregate. For certain other sites, proceedings are in the very early stages and have not yet progressed to a point where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRPs.

Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental costs, which amounted to ~~$4.7~~$4.3 million and $5.4 million as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. This accrual represents anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues. WeFor the nine months ended March 31, 2012 we recorded favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of ~~$0.6~~$0.4 million, an adjustment of $0.4 million and cash payments of ~~$0.1~~$0.3 million against the ~~reserve for the six months ended December 31, 2011.~~reserve.

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 ~~US EPA,~~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 exposures 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, as well as an EHS Steering Committee, to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have designated EHS coordinators who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2012 and 2011 ~~and 2010~~ was ~~17.3~~20.4 percent and ~~21.3~~19.1 percent, respectively. The current year rate was unfavorably impacted by non-deductible acquisition related costs. These drivers were partially offset by favorable adjustments to certain tax reserves and the impact of stronger earnings in our pan European business model.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 20.3 percent and 22.0 percent, respectively. The current year rate was favorably impacted by a ~~$4.2~~$5.6 million reduction of a valuation allowance in the Netherlands, ~~in the quarter~~ as well as ~~stronger operating results under our pan-European operations. The prior year rate benefitted from the RD&E credit extension.~~

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was 20.2 percent and 24.3 percent, respectively. The current year rate was favorably impacted by a $4.2 million reduction of a valuation allowance in the Netherlands in the quarter and the favorable impact of stronger operating results under our pan-European ~~operations.~~

During the quarter, we assessed the sustainability of future income in the Netherlands. Based on this assessment, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize a portion of the net deferred tax assets in this jurisdiction.business strategy.

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share are calculated to reflect the potential dilution that may occur related to the issuance of capital stock through grants of capital stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options, restricted stock 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 restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units by ~~1.2~~1.4 million shares for both the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 1.3 million shares and ~~1.1~~1.0 million shares for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 and ~~2010, respectively, and 1.1 million shares and 0.9 million shares for the six months ended December 31,~~ 2011, ~~and 2010,~~ respectively. Unexercised capital stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards of ~~0.7 million and 0.6~~0.2 million shares for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2012 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 ~~and 2010, respectively,~~of 0.4 million and 0.7 million shares, ~~for both the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,~~respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 anti-dilutive shares were immaterial.

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 that warrant a test prior to that. We have noted no impairment indicators warranting additional testing.

As of March 1, 2012 we acquired Stellite in our Infrastructure segment. As a result we increased goodwill by $235.9 million and other intangible assets by $102.7 million based on preliminary purchase price allocations. These allocations are subject to revision based upon the finalization of the valuation of net assets expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012. We recorded customer-related intangible assets of $72.7 million with an estimated useful life of 20 years, technology-based intangible assets of $28.3 million with an estimated useful life of 15 - 17 years and trademarks of $1.7 million with an estimated useful life of 5 years. These intangible assets will be amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011,~~2012, we entered into a technology license agreement in our ~~infrastructure~~Infrastructure segment. This resulted in a $15.0 million increase of contract-based intangible assets. The technology license agreement will be amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 10 years.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011,~~2012, we recorded amortization expense of ~~$6.7~~$11.0 million related to our other intangible assets and unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of ~~$5.0~~$4.1 million.

On January 17, 2012, Kennametal announced that we signed a definitive agreement to purchase the Deloro Stellite Holdings 1 Limited (Deloro Stellite) from Duke Street Capital for approximately €277 million. The U.K.-based Deloro Stellite, with approximately €220 million in annual sales, is a global manufacturer and provider of alloy-based critical wear solutions for extreme environments involving high temperature, corrosion and abrasion. Deloro Stellite employs approximately 1,300 people across seven primary operating facilities globally, including locations in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Italy, India and China. Through proprietary metal alloys and materials expertise as well as specialized engineering design and fabrication capabilities, Deloro Stellite delivers value-added, tailored wear solutions for customers in our current end markets of energy, which includes oil and gas and power generation, transportation, and aerospace.

~~We plan to fund the acquisition through existing credit facilities and operating cash flow, and remain committed to maintaining our investment grade ratings.~~

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

Kennametal Inc. is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence, as well as our technological expertise and innovation in our principal products, has helped us to achieve a leading market presence in our primary markets. We believe we are one of the largest global providers of consumable metalcutting tools and tooling supplies. End users of our products include metalworking manufacturers and suppliers across a diverse array of industries, including the aerospace, defense, transportation, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery industries, as well as manufacturers, producers and suppliers in a number of other industries including coal mining, highway construction, quarrying, and oil and gas exploration and production industries. Our end users’ products include items ranging from airframes to coal mining, engines to oil wells and turbochargers to construction.

We experienced strong growth for the December quarter across both business segments and all regions. Our sales of $641.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 grew 13 percent compared to sales for the December quarter one year ago. Sales growth was primarily due to organic growth which includes both volume and price.

Raw materials prices have doubled compared to the prior year, but continue to stabilize. Our margin performance during the quarter reflected our ability to recover inflation costs related to these raw materials, primarily tungsten, our main raw material. We had previously executed appropriate pricing actions and have continued to maintain our cost discipline during the quarter. We continue to monitor changes in raw material prices to ensure appropriate pricing.

Operating income was $94.0 million, an increase of $32.4 million compared to operating income of $61.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was driven by higher sales volume, higher price realization and incremental restructuring benefits, partially offset by higher raw material costs.

We had cash inflow from operating activities of $71.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011, driven by our operating performance. Capital expenditures were $35.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011.

In addition, we invested further in technology and innovation to continue delivering a high level of new products to our customers. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $8.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

This acquisition is in alignment with our growth strategy and positions the Company to further achieve geographic and end market balance. The transaction is expected to be accretive to earnings in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. We plan to fund the acquisition through existing credit facilities and operating cash flow, and remain committed to maintaining our investment grade ratings.

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

Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $641.7 million, an increase of $75.9 million, or 13 percent, from $565.8 million in the prior year quarter. Sales increased due to organic growth of 14 percent offset by unfavorable impact of fewer business days. The improvement in sales was driven by better performance in both business segments and across all regions. Organic sales growth drivers were energy markets of 25 percent, aerospace and defense of 16 percent, earthworks market of 15 percent, general engineering of 12 percent and transportation of 7 percent.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On March 1, 2012, we acquired all of the shares of Deloro Stellite Holdings 1 Limited (Stellite) pursuant to the terms of the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated January 13, 2012. The UK-based Stellite is a global manufacturer and provider of alloy-based critical wear solutions for extreme environments involving high temperature, corrosion and abrasion. Stellite employs approximately 1,300 people across seven primary operating facilities globally, including locations in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Italy, India and China. Stellite’s proprietary metal alloys, materials expertise, engineering design and fabrication capabilities complement Kennametal’s current business in the oil and gas, power generation, transportation and aerospace end markets. This acquisition is in alignment with our growth strategy and positions us to further achieve geographic and end market balance.

We acquired Stellite for a purchase price of approximately $383 million and funded the acquisition through existing credit facilities and operating cash flows, and remain committed to maintaining our investment grade ratings. The transaction is expected to be accretive to earnings in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

We experienced strong growth for the March quarter across both business segments and all regions. Our sales of $696.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 grew 13 percent compared to sales for the March quarter one year ago. Sales growth was primarily due to organic growth which includes both volume and price and the impact of the Stellite acquisition.

We consumed higher cost raw materials in the quarter, while price levels remained unchanged. We had previously executed appropriate pricing actions and have continued to maintain our cost discipline during the quarter. We continue to monitor changes in raw material costs to ensure appropriate pricing.

Operating income was $103.3 million, an increase of $15.5 million compared to operating income of $87.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was driven by higher sales volume and price, partially offset by higher raw material costs and acquisition related charges.

We had cash inflow from operating activities of $164.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, driven by our operating performance. Capital expenditures were $60.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

In addition, we invested further in technology and innovation to continue delivering a high level of new products to our customers. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

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

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $696.4 million, an increase of $81.6 million, or 13 percent, from $614.8 million in the prior year quarter. Sales increased due to organic growth of 8 percent and the impacts of acquisition of 4 percent and more business days of 3 percent, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from foreign currency. The improvement in sales was driven by better performance in both business segments and across all regions. Organic sales growth drivers were aerospace and defense of 14 percent, earthworks market of 12 percent, energy markets of 12 percent, general engineering of 7 percent while the transportation end market sales remained at a relatively similar level as the prior year.

Gross profit for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 was ~~$231.9~~$246.4 million, an increase of ~~$31.9~~$16.4 million from ~~$200.0~~$230.0 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to ~~increased~~an organic sales increase of ~~$79.4~~$52 million, partially offset by higher raw material costs. The gross profit margin for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 was ~~36.1~~35.4 percent, as compared to ~~35.4~~37.4 percent generated in the prior year quarter.

Gross profit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 was ~~$482.9~~$729.4 million, an increase of ~~$94.1~~$110.7 million from ~~$388.8~~$618.7 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to ~~increased~~an organic sales increase of ~~$170.5~~$226.2 million, partially offset by higher raw material costs. The gross profit margin for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 was ~~37.1~~36.5 percent, as compared to ~~35.5~~36.2 percent generated in the prior year quarter.

Operating expense for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 increased ~~$2.5~~$0.6 million or ~~1.9~~less than 1 percent to ~~$134.6~~$138.9 million compared to ~~$132.1~~$138.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily due to acquisition related costs of $5.7 million and Stellite operating expenditures of $2.5 million, partially offset by lower professional fees of $3.4 million, a decrease in restructuring and related charges of $2.5 million and favorable currency effects of $1.8 million.

Operating expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 increased $24.1 million or 6.1 percent to $419.5 million compared to $395.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily due to an increase in employment costs of ~~$5.6~~$13.5 million, including higher sales compensation of ~~$3.6~~$8.1 million due to better operating performance, ~~partially offset by lower professional fees of $2.0 million.~~

Operating expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011 increased $23.5 million or 9.1 percent to $280.6 million compared to $257.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily due to an increase in employmentacquisition related costs of ~~$13.4~~$5.7 million, ~~including higher sales compensation~~Stellite operating expenditures of ~~$6.8~~$2.5 million ~~due to better operating performance~~ and an unfavorable impact of foreign currency ~~results~~effects of ~~$8.7~~$6.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in restructuring and related charges of $3.2 million.

During fiscal year 2011, we completed our restructuring plans to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies. These actions related to the rationalization of certain manufacturing and service facilities as well as other employment cost reduction programs. As the restructuring programs were completed in fiscal 2011, there were no restructuring and related charges for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011.~~2012. The Company’s restructuring programs are delivering annual ongoing pre-tax savings of approximately $170 million now that all programs are fully implemented.

Restructuring and related charges recorded during the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2010~~2011 amounted to ~~$5.1~~$5.5 million, including ~~$3.8~~$1.6 million of restructuring charges, of which $0.5 million were related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring related charges of $0.5 million and $0.8 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and operating expense, respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2010.

~~Restructuring and related charges recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $9.4 million, including $7.1 million of restructuring charges, of which $0.5~~$0.6 million were related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring related charges of $1.5 million and ~~$0.8~~$2.4 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and operating expense, respectively, during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2010.~~2011.

Restructuring and related charges recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 amounted to $14.9 million, including $8.7 million of restructuring charges, of which $1.0 million were related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring related charges of $3.0 million and $3.2 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and operating expense, respectively, during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Other income, net for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 was ~~$0.7~~$0.5 million compared to other expense, net of ~~$1.7~~$1.4 million for the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency transaction results of ~~$2.4~~$1.5 million.

Other income, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.2 million compared to other expense, net of $3.1 million for the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency transaction results of $3.9 million.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 20.3 percent and 22.0 percent, respectively. The current year rate was favorably impacted by a ~~$4.2~~$5.6 million reduction of a valuation allowance in the Netherlands ~~in the quarter~~ as well as ~~stronger operating results under our pan-European operations. The prior year rate benefitted from the RD&E credit extension.~~

During the quarter, we ~~assessed the sustainability of future~~implemented a strategy that would provide incremental taxable income in the Netherlands. Based on this assessment, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize aan additional portion of the net deferred tax assets in this jurisdiction. ~~Accordingly we recorded a valuation allowance adjustment of $4.2 million that reduced tax expense.~~ With respect to the other jurisdictions, we will continue to monitor our ability to realize the net deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions, and if appropriate, will adjust the valuation allowance. Such an adjustment may result in a material reduction to tax expense in the period the adjustment occurs.

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

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011,~~2012, unallocated expense decreased ~~$1.4~~$1.5 million to ~~$5.8~~$7.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower strategic project spending of ~~$3.1 million.~~$4.7 million, offset by an increase in professional fees of $1.0 million and the timing of certain other charges.

Cash flow from operations is our primary source of funding for capital expenditures and internal growth.

On October 21, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our ~~2010~~five year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (2010 Credit ~~Agreement,~~Agreement), which is used to augment cash flow from operations and as an additional source of funds. The five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (2011 Credit Agreement) extends to October 2016. The 2011 Credit Agreement permits revolving credit loans of up to $600.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The 2011 Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the 2011 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 2011 Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011.~~2012. We had no$29.2 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011.~~2012. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 average borrowings outstanding under the 2010 and 2011 Credit Agreements were approximately ~~$97~~$117.1 million.

Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

~~Our~~On February 14, 2012, we issued $300 million of 3.875 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2022. Interest will be paid semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. We intend to apply the net proceeds from this notes offering to the repayment of our outstanding 7.20 percent Senior Unsecured Notes at their June 15, 2012 maturity. Pending such use, proceeds will be utilized to repay outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Our 7.20 percent 10 year Senior Unsecured Notes issued in June 2002 with an aggregate face amount of $300 million were reclassified to current maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2011. ~~The repayment of this debt is expected to be financed in due course through a new corporate bond issuance.~~

We consider 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 ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011, the amount~~2012, cash and cash equivalents of ~~cash, cash equivalents~~$125 million and short term intercompany advances ~~held~~made by our foreign subsidiaries ~~that~~to our United States parent of $216 million would not be available for use in the United States on a long term basis, without incurring U.S. federal and state income tax ~~consequences was approximately $290 million.~~consequences. These short term intercompany advances are in the form of intercompany loans made over quarter end to repay borrowings under our revolving credit agreement and have duration of not more than fourteen days. 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 ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011,~~2012, cash and cash equivalents were ~~$128.5~~$125.5 million, total debt, including notes payable and capital lease obligations, was ~~$307.9~~$640.9 million and total Kennametal shareowners’ equity was ~~$1,610.2~~$1,719.2 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 continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and the condition of the capital markets, as well as the counterparty risk of our credit providers.

On ~~January 17,~~March 1, 2012 we ~~announced the signing of a definitive agreement to purchase the Deloro~~acquired Stellite ~~Holdings 1 Limited~~ from Duke Street Capital for ~~approximately €277~~$382.6 million. We ~~plan to fund~~funded the acquisition through existing facilities and operating cash flow, and remain committed to maintaining our investment grade ratings.

There have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2011.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, cash flow provided by operating activities was $71.1 million, compared to $67.4 million for the prior year period. Cash flow used for operating activities for the current year period consisted of net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $194.2 million, partially offset by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to $123.1 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities was an increase in inventory of $83.4 million driven by higher inventory levels to meet higher demand, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $67.3 million driven by payment of $27.0 million of incentive compensation and decrease in other of $3.5 million, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $23.2 million and an increase in accrued income taxes of $7.8 million.

Superfund Sites We are involved as a PRP at various sites designated by the ~~US EPA~~USEPA as Superfund sites. For certain of these sites, we have evaluated the claims and potential liabilities and have determined that neither are material, individually or in the aggregate. For certain other sites, proceedings are in the very early stages and have not yet progressed to a point where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRPs.

~~MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION~~

~~AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)~~

Other Environmental MattersWe establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental costs, which amounted to ~~$4.7~~$4.3 million and $5.4 million as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011~~2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. This accrual represents anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues. WeFor the nine months ended March 31, 2012 we recorded favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of ~~$0.6~~$0.4 million, an adjustment of $0.4 million and cash payments of ~~$0.1~~$0.3 million against the ~~reserve for the six months ended December 31, 2011.~~reserve.

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

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2011.

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

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposure since June 30, 2011.

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 were effective as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2011.~~2012.

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.

The SEC’s general guidance permits the exclusion of an assessment of the effectiveness of a registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as they relate to its internal controls over financial reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition, if among other circumstances and factors there is not adequate time between the acquisition date and the date of assessment. As previously noted in this Form 10-Q, the Company completed the acquisition of Stellite on March 1, 2012. Stellite represents approximately 16 percent of the Company’s total assets as of March 31, 2012. Management’s assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012 excluded an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Stellite.

On January 24, 2012, the Board of Directors of Kennametal Inc. (the Company) adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the Bylaws), effective immediately upon adoption, to supersede and replace the existing bylaws of the Company. The Bylaws were revised to provide clarifying language as it relates to shareholder proposals as well as enhanced shareholder/proponent disclosure requirements.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
