FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance or events. We have also included forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning, among other things, our strategy, goals, plans and projections regarding our financial position, liquidity and capital resources, results of operations, market position and product development. These statements are based on current estimates that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, our actual results could vary materially from our current expectations. There are a number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. They include: economic recession; availability and costour ability to achieve all anticipated benefits of the raw materials we use to manufacture our products;restructuring initiatives; our foreign operations and international markets, such as currency exchange rates, different regulatory environments, trade barriers, exchange controls, and social and political instability; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate, including environmental, health and safety regulations; potential for future goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges; our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property; continuity of information technology infrastructure; competition; our ability to retain our management and employees; demands on management resources; potential claims relatingavailability and cost of the raw materials we use to manufacture our products; product liability claims; integrating acquisitions and achieving the expected savings and synergies; business divestitures; global or regional catastrophic events; demand for and market acceptance of our products; business divestitures; energy costs; commodity prices; labor relations; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; and implementation of environmental remediation matters. We provide additional information about many of the specific risks we face in the “Risk Factors” Section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We can give no assurance that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   



1.ORGANIZATION
From its founding in 1938, the McKenna family incorporated Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943. Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Kennametal or the Company) are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence, as well as our technological expertise and innovation we deliver in our products and services, helps us to achieve a leading position in our primary markets. End users of our products include metalworking and machinery manufacturers and suppliers across a diverse array of industries, including the aerospace, defense, transportation, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery, as well as producers and suppliers in a number of equipment-intensive industries such as coal mining, road construction and quarrying, as well as oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply. Our end users' applications range from airframes to mining operations, engines to oil wells and turbochargers to processing. We operate two global business segments consisting of Industrial and Infrastructure.
 
2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements, which include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with our 20142015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 20142015 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 20142015 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 three months ended September 30, 20142015 and 20132014 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 20152016 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.2016. When used in this Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries.

During the prior year, the Company revised its condensed consolidated statement of cash flow for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to correctly present the net cash flow provided by operating activities and effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents, resulting in an increase of $8.4 million to operating cash flows and a corresponding decrease in effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. The Company evaluated this error and determined that the impact of the error was not material to the previously issued interim and annual financial statements.

3.NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adopted
In July 2013,April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance on the presentation in the financial statementsreporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an unrecognized tax benefit whenentity. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists.strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations. The new guidance takes into account these losses and carryforwards as well as the intended or likelihood of usealso requires disclosure of the unrecognized tax benefit in determining the balance sheet classification aspre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an asset or liability.organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This guidance was effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 20142015 and did not have a material impact.impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that defers the effective date of previously issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” Under the new guidance, the effective date for Kennametal was deferred from July 1, 2017 to July 1, 2018. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent measurement of inventory. The amendments in this update require that inventory other than LIFO be subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, as opposed to the current practice of lower of cost or market. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO. This standard is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2017. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

5.4.ACQUISITION
SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES

On November 4, 2013, the Company completed its transaction to acquire the Tungsten Materials Business (TMB) from Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI) which included all of the assets of TDY Industries, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ATI, used or held for use by TDY in connection with the business; and all of the shares of TDY Limited and ATI Holdings SAS, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of ATI, for a purchase price of $607.0 million, net of cash acquired. We funded the acquisition primarily through a combination of cash from operations and available borrowings under our existing credit facility.

Solely as a result of uncertainty related to potential adjustments to the purchase consideration with the seller, which adjustments, if any, are not expected to be material, the preliminary purchase price allocation is not finalized as of September 30, 2014.

The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, includes net sales of $64.3 million and net income of $5.7 million related to TMB.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma summary of operating results presents the consolidated results of operations as if the TMB acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2012. These amounts were calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting TMB’s results to reflect increased depreciation and amortization expense resulting from recording fixed assets and intangible assets at fair value, as well as increased cost of sales resulting from recording inventory at fair value. The pro forma results have been presented for comparative purposes only, include no expected sales or cost synergies and are not indicative of future results of operations or what would have occurred had the acquisition been made on July 1, 2012.

Unaudited pro forma summary of operating results of Kennametal, assuming the acquisition had occurred as of July 1, 2012, are as follows:

6.5.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable.
As of September 30, 2015, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:

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

The fair value of contingent consideration payable that was classified as Level 3 relates to our probability assessments of expected future milestone targets, primarily associated with product delivery, related to the Emuraa previous acquisition. The contingent consideration is to be paid over the next 2 years. During the15 months and is recorded in other current quarter theliabilities and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company reassessed this contingent consideration and determined that noan adjustment of $1.3 million to reduce the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was deemed necessary and that noduring the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to a return of inventory to the seller during the quarter. No other changes in the expected outcome have occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2014.2015.
 
7.6.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) expense (income), net.
The fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

FAIR VALUE HEDGES

Fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts, designated as fair value hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to fair value fluctuations on a portion of our fixed rate debt. We had no such contracts outstanding at September 30, 2014 or June 30, 2014.
CASH FLOW HEDGES
Range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold) are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts at maturity are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized as a component of other expense (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 September 30, 20142015 and June 30, 2014,2015, was $65.5$58.2 million and $91.153.8 million, respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at September 30, 2014,2015, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months $1.4$0.8 million of income on outstanding derivatives.
In February 2012, we settled forward starting interest rate swap contracts to convert $150.0 million 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 expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. During both the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $0.5 million was recognized as interest expense.

11.10.INVENTORIES
We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 4743 percent and 4347 percent of total inventories at September 30, 20142015 and June 30, 2014,2015, respectively. BecauseSince 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.

12.11.LONG-TERM DEBT
Our $600 million five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (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 all covenants as of September 30, 2014.2015. We had $213.542.1 million and $287.142.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement as of September 30, 20142015 and June 30, 2014,2015, respectively. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries. The 2011 Credit Agreement matures in April 2018.
Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $703.3706.3 million and $705.3698.0 million at September 30, 20142015 and June 30, 2014,2015, respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of September 30, 20142015 and June 30, 2014,2015, respectively.

13.12.ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The operation of our business has exposed us to certain liabilities and compliance costs related to environmental matters. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at certain of our locations.
Superfund Sites We are involved as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at various sites designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as Superfund sites. For certain of these sites, we have evaluated the claims and potential liabilities and have determined that neither are material, individually or in the aggregate. For certain other sites, proceedings are in the very early stages and have not yet progressed to a point where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRP.PRPs.
Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 20142015 and June 30, 2014,2015, the balances of these reserves were $10.612.5 million and $11.012.6 million. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.
The reserves we have established for environmental liabilities represent our best current estimate of the costs of addressing all identified environmental situations, based on our review of currently available evidence, and taking into consideration our prior experience in remediation and that of other companies, as well as public information released by the USEPA, other governmental agencies and by the PRP groups in which we are participating. Although the reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these environmental liabilities, there are uncertainties associated with environmental liabilities, and we can give no assurance that our estimate of any environmental liability will not increase or decrease in the future. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and direction taken by the government on these matters.

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

14.13.INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax raterates for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and 2013were was 26.5negative 292.8 percent (provision on a loss) and 24.626.5 percent (provision on income), respectively. The increase was primarily driven by lossescurrent quarter includes a discrete tax charge of $4.2 million associated with the transaction specified in certain jurisdictions whereNote 19 which relates to a tax benefit cannot be recognized as well aschange in assertion with respect to a portion of our foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings, which are no longer considered permanently reinvested. The change in the effectrate also reflects the impact of certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that expired after fiscal year 2014, including the credit for increasing research activitiesrestructuring and provisions concerning the U.S. taxation of foreign earnings.related charges.

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

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the effect of unexercised capital stock options and unvested restricted stock units was anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss in the period and therefore has been excluded from diluted shares outstanding as well as from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For purposes of determining the number of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2014, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options and unvested restricted stock units by 0.8 million shares and 1.0 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. shares. Unexercised capital stock options and restricted stock units of 0.6 million shares and 0.5 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price, and therefore the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

18.17.GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. We perform our annual impairment tests during the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process, unless there are impairment indicators based on the results of an ongoing cumulative qualitative assessment that warrant a test prior to that. We noted no impairment indicators warranting additional testing.
A summaryevaluate the recoverability of goodwill for each of our reporting units by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The fair values of our reporting units are determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based upon historical and projected financial information. We apply our best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of the carrying amountfinancial projections used to determine the fair value of goodwill attributableeach reporting unit. We evaluate the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected financial information. This evaluation is sensitive to each segment, as well as the changes in such, is as follows:

The Company isIdentifiable assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

We are currently exploring strategic alternatives for one of itsour non-core Infrastructure businesses, as well as an Infrastructure technology intangible asset. These havebusinesses. The estimated net book valuesvalue of the business is approximately $39.0$40 million and $6.0 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2014.2015. As the strategic direction has not yet been determined for this business, the Company cannot determine if additional impairment charges will be incurred.
On October 30, 2015, we signed a definitive agreement with Madison Industries to sell all of the outstanding capital stock of: Kennametal Extrude Hone Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kennametal Stellite S.r.l. (Bellusco, Italy), Kennametal Stellite S.p.A. (Milan, Italy), Kennametal Stellite GmbH (Koblenz, Germany); and all of the assets of the businesses of: Tricon (manufacturing operations in Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; and Elko, Nevada), Landis (manufacturing operation in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania); and all of the assets located at the Biel, Switzerland manufacturing facility (non-core businesses), see Note 19. Long-lived assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The following factors were assessed when considering whether an impairment chargetest must be completed: there has not been a significant change or decrease in the market price of the asset groups; there has been no change to the extent or manner in which the asset groups are being used or in their physical condition; there have been no adverse changes in legal factors or in the business climate that would affect the value of the long-lived assets subsequent to the Infrastructure impairment charges taken in fiscal 2015; and there is either probablenot a current period operating or estimable.cash flow loss nor has there been a history of operating or cash flow losses or projected continued losses associated with the asset groups. In addition, we have not noted any other indicators that would require an impairment test. Based on these factors, we concluded that an impairment test is not required.

As discussed in the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we recorded non-cash pre-tax goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges in the Infrastructure segment during the most recent completed fiscal year. Therefore, as of the date of the last impairment test, the Infrastructure reporting unit had a fair value that approximates carrying value. Financial projections are not deteriorating from the projections used in our original testing in the prior year. Thus, we do not see a risk of impairment at this time for Infrastructure under the “held and used” model. Goodwill at the Industrial reporting unit is continues to meet Step 1 of the impairment test since fair value exceeded the carrying value by approximately 90 percent as of the date of the last impairment test.

Operating income was $61.0$6.6 million, an increase of $2.2 million as compared to $58.8$61.0 million in the prior year quarter. TMB contributed sales of $64.3 million during the quarter. Operating income increased primarily due to the impacts of the TMB acquisition,Our operating results were negatively impacted by organic sales growth and the benefit of a a non-recurring inventory charge in the prior year, partially offset bydecline, lower fixed cost absorption, unfavorable mix in Infrastructure,and unfavorable currency exchange, offset partially by restructuring benefits and related charges, higher employment costs and increased amortization due to acquired intangibles.lower raw material costs.

The permanent savings that we are realizing from restructuring are the result of programs that we have undertaken over the past nine months. Pre-tax benefits from these restructuring actions reached approximately $5 million in the current quarter due to manufacturing rationalization and workforce reduction programs. These benefits were incremental to the same quarter one year ago. Kennametal has made significant progress in integrating TMB, and we have accelerated restructuring actions to reduce costs and improve efficiencies. We now expect to recognize approximately $55 million to $60 million of pre-tax charges and realize approximately $50 million to $55 million in annual permanent pre-tax benefits once all restructuring and related actions have been implemented.

We reported current quarter earningsloss per diluted share of $0.49,$0.08, which included $0.07$0.14 per share of restructuring and related charges and $0.08 per share of divestiture-related charges.

We generated strong cash flow from operating activities of $42.638.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014.2015. Capital expenditures were $30.837.2 million during the quarter.

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 $11.9$10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.2015.

The permanent savings that we are realizing from restructuring are the result of programs that we have undertaken over the past 24 months. Pre-tax benefits from these restructuring actions reached approximately $21 million in the current quarter due to rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities and employment and cost reduction programs, of which approximately $16 million were incremental to the same quarter one year ago.

The 2011Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (2011 Credit AgreementAgreement) is used to augment cash from operations and as an additional source of funds. 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 matures in April 2018. We had $42.1 million of borrowings outstanding on our 2011 Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2015.

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 all covenants as of September 30, 2014.2015. For the three months ended September 30, 2014,2015, average daily borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement were approximately $262.0$45.3 million. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

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 September 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents of $107.5 million and short-term intercompany advances made by our foreign subsidiaries to our U.S. parent of $20.9 million would not be available for use in the U.S. on a long term basis without incurring U.S. federal and state income tax consequences. We have not, 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 September 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents were $156.2 million, total debt was $1,015.9 million and total Kennametal Shareowners' equity was $1,922.8 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.

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2014.

Except as noted below, 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 September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents of $38.1 million would not be available for use in the U.S. on a long-term basis without incurring U.S. federal and state income tax consequences. We have not repatriated, nor do we anticipate the need to repatriate, funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business or associated with our domestic debt service requirements. Notwithstanding the above, we are planning to redeploy cash from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries related to the transaction specified in Note 19 of our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As such, the current period includes a discrete tax charge of $4.2 million related to this change in assertion with respect to a portion of our foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings, which are no longer considered permanently reinvested. The remaining undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries continue to be indefinitely reinvested and would not be available for use in the U.S. on a long term basis without incurring U.S. federal and state income tax consequences.

At September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were $97.2 million, total debt was $750.8 million and total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,309.5 million.

We continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and the condition of the capital markets, as well as the counterparty risk of our credit providers.

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2015.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

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

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

Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 20142015 and June 30, 2014,2015, the balances of these reserves were $10.612.5 million and $11.012.6 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.

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



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

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

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our market risk exposureexposures since June 30, 2014.2015.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). The Company's disclosure controls were designed to provide a reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance at September 30, 20142015 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.

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 TMB on November 4, 2013. TMB represents 18 percent of the Company's total assets as of September 30, 2014. Management's assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014 excluded an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of TMB.
