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.

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 recurring adjustments. The results for the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2015 and 2014 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 quarter, 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 has 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, 2014 and did not have a material impact.2015. The transaction outlined in Note 5 was evaluated under this guidance.
Issued
In AprilNovember 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The amendments in this Update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position, as opposed to the presentationcurrent practice of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented inseparating deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts on the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.sheet. This standard is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2016. The guidance is not expected to have a material effect under our current debt structure.
In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and accounting for the arrangement as capitalized and amortized as an intangible asset or expensed as incurred as a service contract. This standard is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2016.2017. We are in the process of evaluatingassessing the impact the adoption of adoptionthis ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

5.ACQUISITIONDIVESTITURE

On November 4, 2013,During the Companythree months ended December 31, 2015, Kennametal completed its transaction to acquiresell all of the Tungsten Materials Business (TMB) from Allegheny Technologies Incorporatedoutstanding capital stock of: Kennametal Extrude Hone LLC 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") to Madison Industries for a purchasean aggregate price of $607.0$61.1 million cash, net of cash acquired.sold and working capital settlements. A portion of the transaction proceeds were used to pay down revolver debt with the remaining balance being held as cash on hand.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet asnet book value of Marchthese non-core businesses immediately prior to the transaction was $182.5 million, which includes the impact of cumulative translation adjustments. We recognized a pre-tax loss on the sale of $133.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015 reflectswhich included the final allocationimpact of working capital adjustments and deal costs. Charges of $126.0 million and $7.3 million were recorded in the purchase price. No material adjustments have been madeInfrastructure and Industrial segments, respectively. The pre-tax income attributable to the allocation in conjunction withnon-core businesses was assessed and determined to be immaterial for disclosure for the finalization, which was completed in the December quarter.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma summary of operating results presents the consolidated results of operations assuming 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.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 December 31, 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.

There have been no changes in classification and transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy in the current period. The fair value of contingent consideration payable that was classified as Level 3 relates to our probability assessments of expected future milestone targets, primarily associated with product delivery, related to a previous acquisition. The contingent consideration is to be paid over the next 2 years. During the nine12 months ended March 31, 2015, the Company paid $4.0 millionand is recorded in conjunction with achieved milestone targets.other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company reassessed this contingent consideration and determined that noan adjustment of $1.4 million to reduce the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was necessary and that noduring the six months ended December 31, 2015 due to a return of inventory to the seller during the period. No other changes in the expected outcome have occurred during the quartersix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2015.
 
7.DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As part of our financial risk management program, we use certain derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes. We account for derivative instruments as a hedge of the related asset, liability, firm commitment or anticipated transaction, when the derivative is specifically designated and qualifies as a hedge of such items. Our objective in managing foreign exchange exposures with derivative instruments is to reduce volatility in cash flow. We measure hedge effectiveness by assessing the changes in the fair value or expected future cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portions are recorded in other (income) expense, net.
The fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

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) 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 MarchDecember 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014,2015, was $50.5$61.0 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 MarchDecember 31, 2015, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months $4.3$0.4 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 the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, $0.5 million and $0.5 million was recognized as interest expense, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, $1.5 million and $1.5 million was recognized as interest expense, respectively.

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

11.INVENTORIES
We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 47 percent and 4347 percent of total inventories at MarchDecember 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014,2015, respectively. Since inventory valuations under the LIFO method are based on an annual determination of quantities and costs as of June 30 of each year, the interim LIFO valuations are based on our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

12.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 MarchDecember 31, 2015. We had $113.95.4 million and $287.142.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement as of MarchDecember 31, 2015 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 $712.5692.5 million and $705.3698.0 million at MarchDecember 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014,2015, respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of MarchDecember 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014,2015, respectively.

13.ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The operation of our business has exposed us to certain liabilities and compliance costs related to environmental matters. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at certain of our locations.
Superfund Sites 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 MarchDecember 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014,2015, the balances of these reserves were $12.2 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.INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 64.4 percent (benefit on a loss) and 24.1 percent (provision on income), respectively. The effective income tax rate for nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 5.7 percent (benefit on a loss) and 28.5 percent (provision on income), respectively. The change in both periods was primarily driven by the asset impairment charges recorded in the current and prior quarters and lower relative U.S. current year earnings compared with the rest of the world where the tax rates are generally lower. The current period includes a $2.1 million tax charge incurred in the quarter related to a 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 are indefinitely reinvested and no deferred taxes have been provided on those earnings.

14.INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were 29.7 percent (benefit on a loss) and 12.7 percent (provision on a loss), respectively. The effective income tax rates for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were 27.7 percent (benefit on a loss) and 20.1 percent (provision on a loss), respectively. The change in both periods was primarily driven by the asset impairment charges recorded in the current and prior year quarters, the tax impact on the sale of certain non-core businesses in the current quarter, lower relative U.S. current year earnings compared with the rest of the world where the tax rates are generally lower and favorable effects of the permanent extension of the credit for increasing research activities contained in the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 that was enacted during the current quarter.

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

For the three and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the effect of unexercised capital stock options and unvested restricted stock units was anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss in the periods 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 and nine months ended March 31, 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 1.0 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively. Unexercised capital stock options and restricted stock units of 1.7 million and 0.2 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 1.3 million and 0.3 million shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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.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. Consistent with the prior year, the Company performed itsWe perform our annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of March 31st. Historically, we performed this analysistests during the June quarter end in connection with our annual planning process; however, this process, was accelerated in the current year and finalized during the March quarter end. We also perform specificunless there are impairment tests on an interim basisindicators based on the results of an ongoing cumulative qualitative assessment if indicative of impairment of the goodwill forthat warrant a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset.test prior to that. We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill for each of our reporting units by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The fair values of our reporting units are determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based upon historical and projected financial information. We apply our best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of the financial projections used to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. We evaluate the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected financial information. This evaluation is sensitive to changes in market interest rates and other external factors.

Identifiable assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment wheneverwhen events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

2016 December Quarter Impairment Charge
Late in the December quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company experienced a further unexpected deterioration in customer demand in many of its end markets and certain geographies. Industrial production indices in the US and China have declined, as well as further reductions in mining and oil and gas activity. In view of these declines and the significant impact on our near term financial forecasts as well as a significant and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price, we determined an interim impairment test of our goodwill and other long-lived assets of our Industrial and Infrastructure reporting units was required. As a result of this interim test, we recorded a preliminary non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2015 of $106.1 million in the Infrastructure segment, of which $105.7 million was for goodwill and $0.4 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. We also recorded a preliminary non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2015 of $2.3 million in the Industrial segment for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. These impairment charges are recorded in restructuring and asset impairment charges in our condensed consolidated statements of income. There is $298.0 million of goodwill at the Industrial reporting unit. The fair value exceeds the carrying value by approximately 70 percent, a decrease of approximately 20 percentage points from the fiscal 2015 annual impairment valuation. The Infrastructure reporting unit goodwill impairment charge is preliminary and subject to finalization of fair values related to intangibles and property, plant and equipment, which we expect to complete in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The Infrastructure segment has no remaining goodwill recorded.

During the March and December quarter, ends, we also performed reviewsa preliminary review of our identifiable assets with finite lives and preliminarily determined that the assets were not impaired. This review is subject to finalization using consistent assumptions as used in our aforementioned 2016 December quarter goodwill impairment valuation, which we expect to complete in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

Divestiture Impact on Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we completed the sale of non-core businesses, see Note 5. As a result of this transaction, goodwill decreased by $1.1 million and $6.5 million in our Industrial and Infrastructure segments, respectively. These decreases are recorded in the loss on divestiture account in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

2015 December Quarter End Impairment Charge
Late in the December quarter end, the Company experienced an abrupt change in customer demand in the oil and gas markets that is expected to continue into the foreseeable future, coupled with the severe and persistent decline in the earthworks markets. In view of the severe downturn in the global Infrastructure markets in the December quarter ended, we made an assessment of the possible impairment of the goodwill and other long-lived assets of our Infrastructure reporting unit. As a result of this assessment, we determined that the magnitude and duration of the economic downturn of the Infrastructure end markets; the overall financial performance of the Infrastructure reporting unit; a change in composition or carrying amount of Infrastructure net assets and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within Infrastructure; and a sustained trend of decrease in the Company’s share price necessitated an interim impairment test of our Infrastructure reporting unit. As previously disclosed, we recorded a preliminary non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2014 of $376.5 million in the Infrastructure segment, of which $375.0 million was for goodwill and $1.5 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset.

During the March quarter ended, we completed our review of the fair values related to intangibles and property, plant and equipment in relation to the preliminary charge. We recorded an additional $6.8 million charge for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset based upon completion of the December valuation.

2015 March Quarter End Impairment Charge
As of March 31, 2015, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We recorded an additional non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $152.9 million in the Infrastructure reporting unit, of which $152.5 million was for goodwill and $0.4 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. These charges were due to the continued weakening of the overall financial performance of the Infrastructure reporting unit, which is driven by the further decline in the future outlook for the global energy market being more severe than originally indicated during the second quarter 2015 impairment testing discussed above, coupled with the extended persistence of the downturn in the earthworks markets into the foreseeable future. Since the Infrastructure reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were adjusted to their estimated fair values in connection with the impairment charges, and because certain trademarks have subsequently been written down because they were partially impaired (as discussed above), there is not a significant excess of fair value over the carrying values as of March 31, 2015. If current expectations of future growth rates are not met or specific valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly, then one or more intangible assets might become impaired in the future. The Industrial reporting unit passed the annual impairment test with estimated fair value exceeding carrying values by a material amount.

The further acceleration or extended persistence of the current downturn in the global end markets could have a further negative impact on our business and financial performance. We cannot provide assurance that we will achieve all of the anticipated benefits from restructuring actions we have taken and will continue to take. If we are unable to effectively restructure our operations in the light of evolving market conditions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are currently exploring strategic alternatives for several businesses mostly within theone of our non-core Infrastructure segment, which have totalbusinesses. The estimated net book valuesvalue of the business is approximately $170 million to $250$40 million as of MarchDecember 31, 2015. As the strategic direction has not yet been determined for these businesses,this business, the business is classified as held and used, and the Company cannot determine if additional impairment charges are either probable or estimable.will be incurred.

As previously mentioned, during the three months ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $2.3 million and $0.4 million of impairment charges in the Industrial and Infrastructure segments, respectively, for indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets as a result of our interim impairment analysis.

The divestiture of non-core businesses completed during the six months ended December 31, 2015 resulted in a reduction of $30.0 million in Customer-related, $15.4 million in Unpatented technology, $5.0 million in Indefinite-lived Trademarks, $1.1 million in Definite-lived Trademarks, $0.8 million in Technology-based and other and $0.5 million in Contract-based.

We believe we are one of the largest global providers of consumable metalcutting tools and tooling supplies.

Our sales of $639.0524.0 million for the quarter ended MarchDecember 31, 2015 decreased 15.422 percent compared to sales for the quarter ended MarchDecember 31, 2014. Operating loss was $120.4$234.0 million, compared to operating income of $76.8$333.8 million in the prior year quarter. Our operating results were negatively impacted by impairment charges of $159.7 million,the loss on divestiture, organic sales decline, lower fixed cost absorption, unfavorable mix and unfavorable currency exchange, unfavorable mix in Infrastructure and increased restructuring and related charges, offset partially by lower goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, incremental restructuring benefits and lower raw material costs.

During the benefits from restructuring initiatives.quarter the Company completed the sale of several non-core businesses related to certain castings, steel-plate fabrication and deburring for an aggregate price of approximately $70 million prior to working capital adjustments, or $61.1 million including working capital adjustments of approximately $9 million. Annual sales for these non-core businesses were approximately $220 million. A portion of the transaction proceeds were used to pay down revolver debt with the remaining balance being held as cash on hand. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax loss on the sale of approximately $133.3 million.

We reported current quarter loss per diluted share of $0.58,$2.12, which included $0.90includes $1.20 per share of loss on divestiture, $0.98 per share of goodwill and other intangible assetassets impairment charges $0.12and $0.08 per share of restructuring and related charges and $0.02 per share of tax redeployment expense.charges.

We generated strong cash flow from operating activities of $219.6104.5 million and $135.3 million during the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2015.2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to lower cash earnings, net of tax, partially offset by improved working capital management. Capital expenditures were $77.661.2 million and $54.7 million during the quarter.six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

We invested further in technology and innovation to continue delivering a high level of new products to our customers. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $11.0$10.3 million and $20.3 million for the three and six months ended MarchDecember 31, 2015.

During the March quarter ended, the Company finalized the non-cash pre-tax impairment charge for its Infrastructure reporting unit previously recognized in the December quarter ended. As a result of this finalization, an additional non-cash pre-tax charge of $6.8 million, or $0.04 per share was recorded against an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The Company also performed its annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. As a result of our test, we recorded an additional non-cash pre-tax goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charge of $152.9 million, or $0.86 per share in the Infrastructure reporting unit due to the continued weakening of the overall financial performance of the Infrastructure reporting unit driven by the further decline in the future outlook for the global energy market being more severe than originally indicated during the second quarter 2015, impairment testing, coupled with the extended persistence of the downturn in the earthworks markets into the foreseeable future. The Industrial reporting unit passed the annual impairment test with estimated fair value exceeding carrying values by a material amount. See Note 18 in our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of goodwill and other intangible assets (Note 18).respectively.

The permanent savings that we are realizing from Phase 1 restructuring are the result of programs that we have undertaken over the past 1827 months. Pre-tax benefits from these restructuring actions reached approximately $8$19 million in the current quarter due to rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities and workforceemployment and cost reduction programs, of which approximately $7$13 million were incremental to the same quarter one year ago.

In May 2015, we announced additional restructuring actions with Phase 3 of restructuring initiatives. This is estimated to achieve an additional $25-$30 million of annualized savings and will incur $40-$45 million of pre-tax charges as it is being implemented over the next 24 months. These initiatives are expected to enhance operational efficiencies through an enterprise-wide cost reduction program as well as the consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities. On a combined basis, all restructuring programs are expected to produce annual ongoing pre-tax permanent savings of $115-$135 million. Combined, total pre-tax charges for these initiatives are expected to be approximately $185-$205 million.

Phase 1
We are implementing restructuring actions in conjunction with Phase 1 to achieve synergies across Kennametal as a result of the TMBTungsten Materials Business (TMB) acquisition by consolidating operations among both organizations, reducing administrative overhead and leveraging the supply chain. These restructuring actions are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2016 and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures.

Phase 2
We are implementing restructuring actions in conjunction with Phase 2 to streamline the Company's cost structure. These initiatives are expected to enhance operational efficiencies through the rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities as well as other employment and cost reduction programs. These restructuring actions are expected to be completed by December 2016of fiscal 2017 and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures.

Phase 3
We are implementing restructuring actions to further enhance operational efficiencies through an enterprise-wide cost reduction program as well as the consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions are expected to be completed by March of fiscal 2017 and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures.
Asset Impairment Charges
We have recorded non-cash pre-tax asset impairment charges of $159.7$108.5 million and $541.7$376.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. See Note 18.

The further acceleration or extended persistence of the current downturn in the global end markets could have a further negative impact on our business and financial performance. We cannot provide assurance that we will achieve all of the anticipated benefits from restructuring actions we have taken and will continue to $7.8take. If we are unable to effectively restructure our operations in the light of evolving market conditions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are currently exploring strategic alternatives for one of our non-core Infrastructure businesses. The estimated net book value of the business is approximately $40 million as compared to $8.9 million inof December 31, 2015. As the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower year-over-year borrowings.

LOSS ON DIVESTITURE
During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we completed the divestiture of non-core businesses for net proceeds of $61.1 million and recognized a pre-tax loss on divestiture of $133.3 million. See Note 5 in our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Note 5).

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased $1.2 million to $6.8 million as compared to $8.0 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2015 decreased $2.4 million to $13.8 million as compared to $16.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense in both periods was primarily due to lower year-over-year borrowings.

OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET
Other income, net for the three months ended December 31, 2015, was $0.7 million compared to other expense, net of $2.2 million, for the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was primarily due to gains on derivatives of $2.5 million in the current year quarter.
Other expense, net for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $0.4 million. Current period derivative gains were offset by a loss on sale of assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Industrial sales decreased by 11 percent due to unfavorable currency exchange of 8 percent, organic decline of 2 percent and 1 percent from divestiture. Excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales decreased approximately 6 percent in aerospace and defense and approximately 1 percent in general engineering, while transportation increased approximately 2 percent. New project tooling packages in the Asian transportation market offset weakness in Europe and Americas to deliver low single digit growth while general engineering was impacted by very weak global demand in the energy market. On a regional basis sales decreased 6 percent in Europe and 4 percent in the Americas, offset partially by an increase of 12 percent in Asia. The sales decreases in both Europe and the Americas was primarily driven by the performance in the aerospace and defense and transportation end markets and to a lesser extent the general engineering end market. The sales increase in Asia was primarily driven by the transportation end market.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Industrial operating income decreased by $16.1 million, driven by organic sales decline and increased restructuring and related charges of $7.1 million, offset partially by restructuring benefits and decreased operating expense as a result of cost reduction efforts. Industrial operating margin was 10.0 percent compared with 12.9 percent in the prior year.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, Industrial sales remained flat due to unfavorable currency exchange of 4 percent, offset partially by 2 percent organic growth and 2 percent from net acquisition and divestiture activity. Excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales increased by approximately 3 percent in transportation and approximately 3 percent in general engineering, offset partially by a decrease of approximately 3 percent in aerospace and defense. General engineering strengthened due to continued growth of the indirect channel, while growing softness in Europe and the Americas impacted transportation performance, offset partially by strengthening transportation performance in the Asia region from ongoing demand for tooling packages. On a regional basis, sales increased 12 percent in Asia and 3 percent in the Americas while sales decreased approximately 1 percent in Europe. The sales increase in Asia was driven by the performance in the transportation and aerospace and defense end markets and to a lesser extent the general engineering end markets. The sales increase in the Americas was driven by the general engineering end market. The sales decrease in Europe was driven by declines in the aerospace and defense and to a lesser extent the transportation end market.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, Industrial operating income decreased by $3.3 million, driven by increased restructuring and related charges of $17.4 million, offset partially by organic and acquisition growth, restructuring benefits and decreased operating expense as a result of cost reduction efforts. Industrial operating margin was 11.0 percent compared with 11.2 percent in the prior year.

Excluding the impact of currency exchange and divestiture, sales decreased approximately 31 percent in energy, approximately 9 percent in general engineering, approximately 5 percent in transportation and approximately 3 percent in aerospace and defense. Energy end market activity continued to be weak, adversely impacting the general engineering end market where the Company believes there was destocking in the indirect channel, particularly in the Americas. Lower sales activity in the transportation end market was also impacted by destocking in Asia. On a segment regional basis excluding the impact of divestiture and currency exchange, sales decreased 15 percent in the Americas and 14 percent in Asia, partially offset by a 1 percent increase in Europe. The sales decrease in the Americas was primarily driven by the performance in the energy and general engineering end markets and to a lesser extent the transportation end market, partially offset by a slight increase in aerospace and defense. The sales decrease in Asia was primarily driven by the energy, general engineering and transportation end markets. The sales increase in Europe was primarily driven by slight increases in general engineering and transportation, partially offset by a decline in aerospace and defense and energy end markets.

For the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2015, Industrial operating income decreased by $34.4 million, driven by organic sales decline, lower fixed cost absorption, loss on divestiture of $7.3 million, unfavorable currency exchange, intangible asset impairment of $2.3 million and unfavorable business mix, offset partially by an increase in restructuring program benefits of $9.1 million and lower raw material costs. Industrial operating margin was 2.4 percent compared with 11.2 percent in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations is the primary source of funding for capital expenditures and internal growth. Year to date MarchDecember 31, 2015 cash flow provided by operating activities was $219.6104.5 million, driven by our operating performance and working capital improvements.improvements and cash earnings, partially offset by a decrease in taxes payable and lump sum payments to several terminated Executive Retirement Plan participants.
 
Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (2011 Credit Agreement) 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 $113.9$5.4 million of borrowings outstanding on our 2011 Credit Agreement as of MarchDecember 31, 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 MarchDecember 31, 2015. For the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2015, average daily borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement were approximately $214.1$30.4 million. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

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 MarchDecember 31, 2015, we have cash and cash equivalents of $100.0$60.5 million and short-term intercompany advances made by our foreign subsidiaries to our U.S. parent of $17.8 million which arewould 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 redeployredeployed cash from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries related to reduce foreign and U.S. debt by approximately $50 to $100 million before the endtransaction specified in Note 5 of the fiscal year.our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As such, the currentsix month period ended December 31, 2015 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 MarchDecember 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were $146.2$139.0 million,, total debt was $903.8$706.7 million and total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,371.2 million.$1,124.8 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 believe that we have sufficient resources available to meet cash requirements for the next 12 months as of December 31, 2015. 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.
Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, cash flow provided by operating activities was $219.6 million, compared to $153.2 million for the prior year period. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the current year period consisted of net loss and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $215.6 million and by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an inflow of $4.0 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $34.3 million due to lower sales volume and a decrease in inventory of$6.6 million. Offsetting these cash inflows were an increase of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $21.7 million primarily driven by payroll timing and lower accrued compensation-related accounts, an increase in accrued income taxes of$9.9 million and a decrease in other of $5.3 million.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, cash flow provided by operating activities consisted of net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $237.5 million, partially offset by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $84.3 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital was $816.8668.0 million at MarchDecember 31, 2015, a decrease of $145.6107.8 million from $962.4$775.8 million at June 30, 2014.2015. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts receivable of $80.0$112.0 million due to lower sales volume;volume and a decrease in inventory of $71.3$98.0 million due primarily to lower work in process, raw materials and finished goods and raw materials;as a result of our focus on working capital management. Partially offsetting these items were a decrease in accounts payable of $35.8 million; an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $31.8$33.5 million; and an increase in current maturities of long-term debt and capital leases and notes payable of $19.5 million.

At March 31, 2015, other assets were $847.7 million, a decrease of $610.7 million from $1,458.4 million at June 30, 2014. The primary drivers for the decrease were a decrease in goodwill of $563.7 million and a decrease in other intangible assets of $52.2 million. The change in goodwill was due to impairment charges in the Infrastructure segment of $527.5 million and unfavorable currency exchange effects. The change in other intangible assets was due to amortization expense of $20.4 million, Infrastructure contract-based technology and other intangible asset impairments of $19.2 million and unfavorable currency exchange effects of $12.8 million.

Long-term debt and capital leases decreased by $177.5 million to $804.1 million at March 31, 2015 from $981.7 million at June 30, 2014. This change was driven by the $173.2 million decrease of borrowings outstanding on our 2011 Credit Agreement.

At December 31, 2015, other assets were $657.7 million, a decrease of $117.4 million from $775.2 million at June 30, 2015. The primary drivers for the decrease were a decrease in goodwill of $119.4 million and a decrease in other intangible assets of $70.6 million. The change in goodwill was due to a goodwill impairment charge of $105.7 million in the Infrastructure segment, $7.5 million of goodwill written off as part of the sale of non-core businesses and $6.0 million of unfavorable currency exchange. The change in other intangible assets was due primarily to $52.7 million intangibles sold as part of the sale of non-core businesses, amortization expense of $11.9 million and unfavorable currency exchange effects of $1.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by $48.8 million increase in deferred income taxes.

Long-term debt and capital leases decreased by $35.2 million to $700.7 million at December 31, 2015 from $735.9 million at June 30, 2015. This change was driven primarily by the $37.2 million decrease of European borrowings outstanding on the revolver.

The decrease was primarily due to net loss attributable to Kennametal of $175.5 million, unfavorable currency exchange of $20.9 million and cash dividends paid to Shareholders of $31.8 million, partially offset by capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $7.2 million.

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 MarchDecember 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014,2015, the balances of these reserves were $12.2$12.2 million and $11.012.6 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.

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

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

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 Interim 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 Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance at MarchDecember 31, 2015 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 Interim 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.
