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

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 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 20172018 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 20172018 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, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

3.2.NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adopted
In March 2016,May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which is intendedrequires an entity to simplify equity-based award accountingrecognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements around contracts with customers. We adopted Topic 606 July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of that date. The adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements beyond the additional disclosure requirements. Refer to Notes 3 and presentation. The guidance impacts income tax accounting related18 to equity-based awards, the classificationcondensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of awards as either equity or liabilities,Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the classification onEmerging Issues Task Force)," which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice with respect to how these are classified in the statement of cash flows. We adopted this guidanceASU July 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance resulted in three changes: (1) the increase to deferred tax assets of $1.4 million related to cumulative excess tax benefits previously unrecognized was offset by a valuation allowance, due to the valuation allowance position of our U.S. entity at the time of adoption of this standard; (2) excess tax benefits, previously reported in the financing activities section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow, is now reported in the operating activities section, adopted on a prospective basis; therefore, prior period statements of cash flow were not retrospectively adjusted for this provision; and (3) employee taxes paid when Kennametal withholds shares for tax withholding purposes, previously reported in the operating activities section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, are now reported in the financing activities section, adopted on a retrospective basis; therefore, prior period statements of cash flow were retrospectively adjusted for this provision. Cash flow provided by operating activities and cash flow used for financing activities increased by $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which requires that inventory other than LIFO be subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, as opposed to the previous practice of lower of cost or market. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO. We adopted this guidance July 1, 2017.2018. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impacteffect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory," which clarifies that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. We adopted this ASU July 1, 2018. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost," which requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. We adopted this ASU July 1, 2018, with the amendments applied on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting," which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. We adopted this ASU July 1, 2018. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Issued
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases: Topic 842," which replaces the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for substantially all leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This standard is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2019. Currently, we are inventorying our leasing arrangements and gathering lease data in order to determine the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

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

Issued
In February 2018,During the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassificationcurrent quarter, the Company revised its condensed consolidated statement of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which includes amendments relatedcash flow for the six months ended December 31, 2017 to correctly present the changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and in purchases of property, plant and equipment, resulting in a decrease of $25.7 million to previously reported net cash flow provided by operating activities and a corresponding decrease to previously reported net cash flow used for investing activities. Revisions of $22.7 million will be made in future filings to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) to improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. This guidance is effective for us July 1, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014,statements of cash flow for the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contractsnine months ended March 31, 2018 with Customers: Topic 606.” This ASU replaces nearly all existing U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The standard prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue, the application of which will require significant judgment. It also requires additional disclosures. We will adopt this standard on July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. We have a project team that has performed a detailed review of the terms and provisions in customer contracts, tentatively concluding that the new standard will not affect the timing and measurement of revenue for these contracts in comparison to the results of historical accounting policies and practices. Under the provisions of this ASU, we believe certain costs currently reported in operating expense may be reclassified to cost of goods soldsimilar effects on the condensed consolidated statementstatements of income, as they represent costs incurredcash flow.

The amount of that disclosure will be revised in future filings for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 to depict an increase of $11.2 million. The Company has evaluated the correction and determined it was not yet finalized our assessment ofmaterial to the impact of adoption of this guidance, we do not expect it to have a material impactpreviously issued interim financial statements.

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

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

CASH FLOW HEDGES
Range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold) are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized as a component of 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 MarchDecember 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017,2018, was $61.6$43.5 million and $75.3$62.9 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, 2018, we expect to recognize into earnings $1.5$0.3 million of expenseincome on outstanding derivatives in the next 12 months.

7.RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
In prior years, we implemented restructuring actions` to streamline the Company's cost structure. The purpose of these initiatives was to improve the alignment of our cost structure with the current operating environment through employee reductions, as well as rationalization and consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions were substantially completed in the firstJune quarter of fiscal 2018, we implemented and substantially completed restructuring actions to simplify the Industrial segment's cost structure by directing resources to more profitable business and increasing sales force productivity. We supplemented this with the rationalization of small manufacturing facilities in the Infrastructure and Industrial segments, which we expect to complete in fiscal 2019. Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $13.9 million have been recorded for this program through December 31, 2018.
We recorded restructuring and related charges of $2.1 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Restructuring-related charges of $0.6 million and $1.3 million were recorded in cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, restructuring-related charges of $0.2 million were recorded in operating expense.
We recorded restructuring and related charges of $3.1 million and $8.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $2.6 million and $5.6 million, respectively.

We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 39 percent and 4340 percent of total inventories at MarchDecember 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017,2018, 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.

Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2016June 2018 (Credit Agreement), provides for revolving credit loans of up to $600$700 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). We were in compliance with all such covenants as of MarchDecember 31, 2018. We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of MarchDecember 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017.2018. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement matures in April 2021.June 2023.
Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $700.3$597.5 million and $704.0$996.4 million at MarchDecember 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017,2018, respectively.

On July 9, 2018, the Company completed the early redemption of its previously outstanding $400.0 million of 2.650 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019.

12.ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The operation of our business has exposed us to certain liabilities and compliance costs related to environmental matters. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at certain of our locations.
Superfund Sites Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), under which we have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) with respect to environmental remedial costs at certain Superfund sites. We have evaluated our claims and liabilities associated with these Superfund sites based upon best currently available information. We believe our environmental accruals are adequate to cover our portion of the environmental remedial costs at the Superfund sites where we have been designated a PRP, to the extent these expenses are probable and reasonably estimable.
Other Environmental MattersWe establish and maintain reserves for othercertain potential environmental issues. At MarchDecember 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017,2018, the balances of these reserves were $12.8$12.5 million and $12.4$12.6 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.

issues and are generally not discounted.
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,United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), other governmental agencies and by the PRPPotentially Responsible Party (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 analysts who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

13.INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017, TCJA was signed into law in the U.S. TCJA amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits and deductions for individuals and corporations. For corporations, TCJA reduces the federal tax rate from a maximum of 35.0 percent to a flat 21.0 percent rate and transitions from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. TCJA also adds many new provisions including changes to bonus depreciation, the deduction for executive compensation and interest expense, a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT) and a deduction for foreign-derived intangible income (FDII). We are assessing the impact of certain provisions, including the tax on GILTI, the BEAT and the deduction for FDII, which do not apply to the Company until fiscal 2019. This assessment includes the evaluation of our accounting election relative to GILTI as either a period cost or an adjustment to deferred tax assets or liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries for the new tax. The two material items that effect the Company for fiscal 2018 are the reduction in the tax rate and a one-time tax that is imposed on our unremitted foreign earnings (toll tax).
On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118) that includes additional guidance allowing companies to use a measurement period, similar to that used in business combinations, to account for the impacts of TCJA in their financial statements. We have accounted for the impacts of TCJA to the extent a reasonable estimate could be made during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018. We will continue to refine our estimates throughout the measurement period, which will not extend beyond 12 months from the enactment of TCJA, or until the accounting is complete.
The U.S. federal tax rate reduction is effective as of January 1, 2018. As a June 30 fiscal year-end taxpayer, our 2018 fiscal year U.S. federal statutory tax rate is expected to be a blended rate of 28.1 percent. We expect our U.S. federal statutory tax rate to be 21.0 percent in 2019.
As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent under TCJA, we recorded a provisional reduction to our net deferred tax assets during the three months ended December 31, 2017 with a corresponding decrease to the valuation allowance prior to its release on December 31, 2017. The result of this reduction had no impact on our condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The revaluation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities are subject to further adjustments during the measurement period due to the complexity of determining our net deferred tax liability as of the enactment date. Some of the information necessary to determine the accounting effects of the tax rate change includes finalizing the assessment of which existing deferred balances at the enactment date reverse in 2018 at the 28.1 percent tax rate and which deferred balances will reverse after 2018 at the 21.0 percent tax rate.

DuringSuperfund Sites Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the three months ended December 31, 2017,Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), under which we estimated the toll tax charge to be $77 million after available foreign tax credits. We recorded an adjustment to this estimate during the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily related to consideration of Internal Revenue Service notices issued during the March quarter. The adjustment resulted in an additional $6 million of expense, increasing the total estimated toll tax charge to $83 million as of March 31, 2018. The toll tax charge consumed our entire U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward and other credit carryforwards, which represent a significant portion of our previously available deferred tax assets, and was offsethave been designated by the release of the valuation allowanceUSEPA as a PRP with respect to environmental remedial costs at certain Superfund sites. We have evaluated our claims and liabilities associated with these assets.Superfund sites based upon best currently available information. We believe our environmental accruals are adequate to cover our portion of the environmental remedial costs at the Superfund sites where we have been designated a PRP, to the extent these expenses are probable and reasonably estimable.

13.INCOME TAXES
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA)
The three primary items from TCJA that effect the Company for fiscal 2019 are the reduction in the statutory tax rate, the one-time tax that is imposed on our unremitted foreign earnings (Toll Tax) and the tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) which we elected to record as a period cost.
The U.S. federal tax rate reduction was effective as of January 1, 2018. As a resultJune 30 fiscal year-end taxpayer, our fiscal 2018 U.S. federal statutory tax rate was a blended rate of the March quarter adjustment, we estimate a cash payment of $6.4 million associated with the toll charge which will be paid over eight years, of which $5.9 million28.1 percent. Our U.S. federal statutory tax rate is classified as long-term accrued income taxes21.0 percent in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. The toll tax charge is preliminary, and subject to finalization of collecting all information, applying any additional regulatory guidance issued after March 31, 2018, considering changes in interpretations and assumptions and analyzing the calculation, along with foreign taxes and the related gross-up, in reasonable detail to complete the accounting.fiscal 2019.
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we finalized our estimate of the Toll Tax charge based upon the U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations and other relevant guidance issued through December 31, 2018. The adjustment to the toll charge during the quarter resulted in an additional net benefit of $3.9 million, decreasing the total Toll Tax charge to $78.0 million. We do not expect to make a cash payment associated with the Toll Tax.
In addition to the direct effects of TCJA, the provisions of TCJA caused the Company to re-evaluate its permanent reinvestment assertion in all jurisdictions, concluding that a portion of the unremitted earnings and profits of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates will no longer be permanently reinvested. These changes in assertion required the recognition of a tax charge of $6.1 million primarily for foreign withholding and U.S. state income taxes. The remaining amount of unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries continue to be indefinitely reinvested. With regard to the unremitted earnings which remain indefinitely reinvested, we have not, nor do we anticipate the need to, repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.
At this time, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to the fiscal 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements from the base erosion anti-abuse tax or a deduction for foreign-derived intangible income.
In accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, we have finalized our accounting for the impacts of the TCJA provisions enacted in fiscal 2018, including the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities at the reduced U.S. federal rate of 21.0 percent.
Effective Tax Rates
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 we releasedwere 24.8 percent and 29.3 percent, respectively. The current year rate reflects the lower U.S. federal statutory tax rate, the $6.1 million charge related to changes in the indefinite reinvestment assertion on certain foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings which are no longer considered permanently reinvested, GILTI and the $3.9 million benefit recorded to reflect the finalization of the amount of the Toll Tax. The prior year rate includes the tax effects associated with the release of a valuation allowance of $3.9 million that was previously recorded against our net deferred tax assets in the U.S. The valuation allowance release was triggered by utilizationand a charge related to an out of a significant portion of our deferred tax assets to satisfy the toll tax provision in TCJA. Along with expected full-year income in the U.S. in fiscal 2018, we anticipate our domestic deferred taxes to be in a net liability position by June 30, 2018.
We consider substantially all of the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that have not previously been taxed in the U.S. to be permanently reinvested. As a result of TCJA, which among other provisions allows for a 100% dividends received deduction from controlled foreign subsidiaries, we will re-evaluate our assertion with respect to permanent reinvestment. As part of this evaluation, we will consider our global working capital and capital investment requirements, among other considerations, including the potential tax liabilities that would be incurred if the non-U.S. subsidiaries distribute cash to the U.S. parent. If we determine that an entity should no longer remain subject to the permanent reinvestment assertion, we will accrue additional tax charges, including but not limited to state income taxes, withholding taxes and other relevant foreign taxes in the period the conclusion is determined. In accordance with SAB 118, we expect to complete our evaluation by December 22, 2018.adjustment.
The effective income tax rates for the threesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018 and 2017 were 31.2 percent and 19.0 percent, respectively.24.9 percent. The change is primarily driven bycurrent year rate reflects the discretelower U.S. federal statutory tax rate, the $6.1 million charge of $6 million recordedrelated to changes in the current quarter for adjustmentindefinite reinvestment assertion on certain foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings which are no longer considered permanently reinvested, GILTI and the $3.9 million benefit recorded to reflect the toll tax charge andfinalization of the amount of the Toll Tax. The prior year U.S. income not being tax-effected and current year U.S. income being subject to tax. This israte includes a benefit from the resultrelease of thea valuation allowance originallythat was previously recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, being released in the December quarter of fiscal 2018.
The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 27.5 percent and 45.9 percent, respectively. The change is primarily driven by restructuring and related charges, and to a lesser extent theagainst our net discrete tax charges recorded in the current year associated with TCJA and prior year U.S. loss not being tax-effected and current year U.S. income being subject to tax as a result of the aforementioned timing of release of the valuation allowance.
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we identified an error related to the tax rate that had historically been used to calculate the deferred tax charge on intra-entity product transfers. This resulted in an overstatement of deferred tax assets of $8.2 million as of June 30, 2017. During the December quarter of fiscal 2018, $2.9 million of this amount was corrected in connection with the release of the U.S. valuation allowance. Therefore, theand a charge related to an out of period adjustment recorded resulted in a further increase of $5.3 million to the provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The remaining balance related to this item was reclassified and included in other current assets. The impact to the effective tax rate was 2.8 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

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

For purposes of determiningThe following tables provide the numbercomputation of diluted shares outstanding weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested performance awards and unvested restricted stock units by 1.3 million shares and 1.0 million shares for the three and six months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 1.2 million shares and 0.7 million shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Unexercised capital stock options, unvested performance awards and unvested restricted stock units of 1.2 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 0.4 million shares and 1.8 million shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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. The amount of shares of unexercised capital stock options, unvested performance awards and unvested restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2018 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share was immaterial.2017:

17.GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. We perform our annual impairment tests during the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process, unless there are impairment indicators based on the results of an ongoing cumulative qualitative assessment that warrant a test prior to that. We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill for each of our reporting units by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The fair values of our reporting units are determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based upon historical and projected financial information. We apply our best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of the financial projections used to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. We evaluate the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected financial information. This evaluation is sensitive to changes in market interest rates and other external factors.
Identifiable assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

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


OVERVIEW
Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943 as a manufacturer of tungsten carbide metal cutting tooling. From this beginning, the Company has grown into a global leader in the development and application of tungsten carbides, ceramics, super-hard materials and solutions used in metal cutting and mission-critical wear applications to combat extreme conditions associated with wear fatigue, corrosion and high temperatures. The Company's reputation for material technology, metal cutting application knowledge, as well as expertise and innovation in the development of custom solutions and services, contributes to its leading position in its primary markets.
Our product offering includes a wide selection of standard and customized technologies for metalworking applications, such as turning, milling, hole making, tooling systems and services. End users of the Company's metalworking products include manufacturers engaged in a diverse array of industries including: the manufacturers of transportation vehicles and components, machine tools and light and heavy machinery; airframe and aerospace components; and energy-related components for the oil and gas industry, as well as power generation.
We alsoIn addition, we produce specialized wear components and metallurgical powders that are used for custom-engineered and challenging applications. End users of the Company'sthese products include producers and suppliers in equipment-intensive operations such as coal mining, road construction, quarrying, oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply.
Throughout the MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance. We also refer to a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), including organic sales growth, constant currency regional sales growth (decline) and constant currency end market sales growth. The explanationgrowth (decline). We provide the definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures at the end of the MD&A provides the definition of these non-GAAP financial measuressection as well as details on the use and the derivation of these financial measures.
Operating results for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal year 2019 reflect continued margin improvement on the eighth consecutive quarter of sales growth. Our sales of $587.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 were strong. End markets are robust,increased 3 percent from the prior year quarter, reflecting growth in all segments and the work being performed on all three of our initiatives - growth, simplification and modernization - is driving improvements to results and margins. On a consolidated basis, sales increased 15.0 percent, reflectingconstant currency regional sales growth in all segments, regions and end markets. We are aggressively pursuing our simplification efforts and starting to get traction onregions. These results reflect the executionongoing monetization of our growth and simplification/modernization initiatives, which contributedinitiatives.
Operating income was $78.9 million, compared to our strong results. In addition, even$63.6 million in the face of risingprior year quarter. The increase in operating income reflects organic sales growth and incremental simplification/modernization benefits, partially offset by higher raw material costs priceand a temporary increase in manufacturing expenses at certain locations due to the timing of simplification/modernization efforts underway. Price realization outpacedcontinued to outpace raw material cost inflation, a trend we expect to continue in the June quarter. Operatingand operating margin improved significantly to 14.013.4 percent from 11.011.1 percent in the prior year quarter reflecting improvement in both gross marginprofit and operating expense as a percentage of sales. We remain intensely focused on executing our multi-year simplification and modernization plan.
Our sales of $607.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 increased 15.0 percent compared to sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, driven by organic sales growth of 11 percent and favorable currency exchange impact of 6 percent, partially offset by fewer business days impact of 2 percent compared to the prior year quarter. Every segment and every region reported increased sales and improved profitability.expense. The Industrial, Infrastructure and Widia segments postedhad operating margins of 15.918.1 percent, 14.39.3 percent and 3.13.5 percent, respectively.
Operating income was $85.4In connection with our simplification/modernization initiative, we recorded $2 million compared to $57.9 million in the prior year quarter. Year-over-year comparative operating results reflect organic sales growth, incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $11 million, $7.9 million lesspre-tax restructuring and related charges in the current period, favorable currency exchangequarter and mix, partially offset by higher raw material costs, decreased manufacturing efficiencyincremental pre-tax benefits from simplification/modernization restructuring were approximately $3 million in part due to the quarter. Annualized run-rate pre-tax benefits of approximately $12 million have been achieved in connection with these simplification/modernization efforts in progress, salary inflation and higher variable compensation expense due to higher than expected operating results.restructuring initiatives.
Our effective tax rateIn the quarter, we finalized the accounting for the full fiscal year is expected to be higher than anticipated at the beginning of fiscal year 2018. This increase in the tax rate is due primarily to the ongoing effects of no longer having a valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets. The releaseenactment of the valuation allowance in the December quarter of fiscal 2018 was triggered by the application of the toll tax provision in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). Along with expected full-year income in based upon the U.S. Department of the Treasury (USDT) regulations and other relevant guidance issued through December 31, 2018, including the re-evaluation of our permanent reinvestment assertion in fiscal 2018, we anticipatecertain jurisdictions. See Note 13 to our domestic deferredcondensed consolidated financial statements for a complete discussion on income taxes to be in a net liability position by June 30, 2018. As a resultand the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of TCJA, we anticipatethe MD&A for further information regarding the results of the re-evaluation of our long-term, beyond fiscal 2018, tax rate will decrease from mid-20s to low-20s.permanent reinvestment assertion.
We reported current quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.61,$0.66, which include a $0.08 per share charge related to adjustments made to the provisional tollnet discrete tax associated with U.S. tax reformcharges of $0.03 and $0.01 per share of restructuring and related charges.charges of $0.02 per share. The earnings per diluted share of $0.48$0.50 in the prior year quarter included $0.12net discrete tax charges of $0.02 per shareshare.
We had a net cash inflow from operating activities of $61.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2018 compared to $41.1 million during the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change is due primarily to increased cash flow from operations before changes in certain other assets and liabilities, partially offset by higher working capital. Capital expenditures were $88.1 million and $59.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, with the increase due in part to higher spending for modernization.

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $198.6 million, an increase of $9.1 million from $189.5 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to organic sales growth and incremental simplification/modernization benefits, partially offset by higher raw material costs, a temporary increase in manufacturing expenses at certain locations due to the timing of simplification/modernization efforts underway, unfavorable foreign currency exchange impact of approximately $7 million and higher compensation expense. The gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was 33.8 percent, as compared to 33.2 percent in the prior year quarter.
Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2018 was $409.7 million, an increase of $38.2 million from $371.5 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to organic sales growth, incremental simplification/modernization benefits and favorable mix, partially offset by higher raw material costs, a temporary increase in manufacturing expenses at certain locations due to the timing of simplification/modernization efforts underway and unfavorable foreign currency exchange impact of approximately $10 million. The gross profit margin for the six months ended December 31, 2018 was 34.9 percent, as compared to 33.3 percent in the prior year period.

OPERATING EXPENSE
Operating expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $114.6 million compared to $122.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to favorable currency exchange impact of approximately $3 million, lower compensation expense and incremental restructuring simplification benefits.
Operating expense for the six months ended December 31, 2018 was $237.9 million compared to $242.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to favorable currency exchange impact of approximately $4 million and related charges.incremental restructuring simplification benefits.

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



We substantially completed our existing restructuring programs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Pre-tax benefits from these restructuring actions were approximately $41 million in the current quarter, of which approximately $11 million were incremental to the prior year quarter. These cost savings achieved through the previous restructuring programs do not include the anticipated benefits from our modernization initiative. Please see the Results of Continuing Operations section of Item 2 for further discussion and analysis of our restructuring programs. While modernization is starting to drive improved results along with continuing benefits from simplification, incrementally higher results of those programs are anticipated to accrue to the Company over the next few years.
We had a net cash inflow from operating activities of $180.6 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $82.8 million during the prior year quarter. The increase is due primarily to higher cash from operations before changes in certain other assets and liabilities and lower restructuring payments, partially offset by higher working capital. Capital expenditures were $128.3 million and $94.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in part attributable to increased spending for modernization.
We invested further in technology and innovation to continue delivering high quality products to our customers. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $10.0$8.9 million and $9.5 million for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $18.6 million and $19.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
In the June quarter of fiscal 2018, we implemented and substantially completed restructuring actions to simplify the Industrial segment's cost structure by directing resources to more profitable business and increasing sales force productivity. We supplemented this with the rationalization of small manufacturing facilities in the Infrastructure and Industrial segments, which we expect to complete in fiscal 2019. Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $13.9 million have been recorded for this program through December 31, 2018.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018 was $219.5and were less than $0.1 million, an increase of $33.2 million from $186.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to organic sales growth, favorable foreign currency exchange impact of $12.7 million, incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $9 million, favorable mix and $1.0 million less restructuring-related charges, partially offset by higher raw material costs, decreased manufacturing efficiency in part due to modernization efforts in progress, and salary inflation. The gross profit margin for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2017. Restructuring-related charges of $0.6 million and $1.3 million were recorded in cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was 36.1 percent, asand 2017, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, restructuring-related charges of $0.2 million were recorded in operating expense.
We recorded restructuring and related charges of $3.1 million and $8.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $2.6 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Restructuring-related charges of $0.5 million and $2.5 million were recorded in cost of goods sold for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2017, restructuring-related charges of $0.3 million were recorded in operating expense.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased to $8.1 million compared to 35.2$7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2018 increased to $16.2 million compared to $14.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. Both increases were primarily due to the incremental interest expense associated with the $300.0 million of 4.625 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 issued in June 2018. On July 9, 2018, the Company completed the early redemption of its previously outstanding $400.0 million of 2.650 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019.

OTHER INCOME, NET
Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased to $4.0 million compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 primarily due to lower foreign currency transaction losses, partially offset by lower pension income in the current quarter.
Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2018 decreased to $6.8 million compared to $7.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017 primarily due to lower pension income in the current period, partially offset by lower foreign currency transaction losses.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were 24.8 percent and 29.3 percent, respectively. The current year rate reflects the lower U.S. federal statutory tax rate, the $6.1 million charge related to changes in the indefinite reinvestment assertion on certain foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings which are no longer considered permanently reinvested, the tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and the $3.9 million benefit recorded to reflect the finalization of the amount of the one-time tax that is imposed on our unremitted foreign earnings (Toll Tax). The prior year quarter.rate includes the tax effects associated with the release of a valuation allowance that was previously recorded against our net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and a charge related to an out of period adjustment.

Gross profitThe effective income tax rates for the ninesix months ended March 31, 2018 was $597.0 million, an increase of $119.6 million from $477.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to organic sales growth, incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $37 million, favorable currency exchange impact of $21.0 million, favorable mix and $2.9 million less restructuring-related charges, partially offset by salary inflation and higher raw material costs. The gross profit margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was 34.7 percent, as compared to 32.0 percent in the prior year period.

OPERATING EXPENSE
Operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased to $129.2 million compared to $116.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to unfavorable currency exchange impact of $6.4 million, higher variable compensation expense due to higher than expected operating results and salary inflation, partially offset by incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $2 million and $1.1 million less in restructuring-related charges.
Operating expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 increased to $369.1 million compared to $347.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to an unfavorable currency exchange impact of $10.9 million, salary inflation and higher variable compensation expense due to higher than expected operating results, partially offset by incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $14 million and $2.7 million less in restructuring-related charges.

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
In prior years, we implemented restructuring actions to streamline the Company's cost structure. The purpose of these initiatives was to improve the alignment of our cost structure with the current operating environment through employment reductions, as well as rationalization and consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions were substantially completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, were mostly cash expenditures and achieved annual run rate ongoing pre-tax savings of approximately $165 million.
We recorded restructuring and related charges of $1.7 million and $9.6 million for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $1.1were 24.9 percent.

INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 31.2 percent and 19.0 percent, respectively. The change is primarily driven by the discrete tax charge of $6 million recorded in the current quarter for adjustment to the toll tax charge and prior year U.S. income not being tax-effected and current year U.S. income being subject to tax. This is the result of the valuation allowance, originally recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, being released in the December quarter of fiscal 2018.
The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 27.5 percent and 45.9 percent, respectively. The change is primarily driven by restructuring and related charges, and to a lesser extent the net discrete tax charges recorded in the current year associated with TCJA and prior year U.S. loss not being tax-effected and current year U.S. income being subject to tax as a result of the aforementioned timing of release of the valuation allowance.10-Q.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, Infrastructure sales increased by 15 percent from the prior year quarter. Infrastructure saw strength in many end markets during the current quarter. Favorability in general engineering is driven primarily by overall more robust activity in the general economy, particularly in the Americas. Additionally, increases in process industries and oil and gas activity in the U.S. yielded strong growth in the energy end market. Growth in earthworks was driven primarily by mining in Asia Pacific, partially offset by softness in mining in EMEA. The sales increase in Asia Pacific was driven primarily by the performance in the earthworks and general engineering end markets, while growth in the Americas was primarily driven by the general engineering and energy end markets. Excluding the favorable impacts of currency exchange, the sales decrease in EMEA was driven by a decline in performance in earthworks. This is mainly due to the anticipation of labor disruptions in South Africa that did not occur, yet still affected underground mining in the region. Also contributing to the sales decrease in EMEA is declines in general engineering, partially offset by growth in energy.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, Infrastructure operating income increased by $12.0 million driven primarily by organic sales growth, favorable mix, $3.3 million less restructuring and related charges in the current quarter and incremental restructuring benefits of approximately $3 million, partially offset by higher raw material costs, decreased manufacturing efficiency in part due to modernization efforts in progress and higher compensation expense. Infrastructure operating margin was 14.3 percent compared with 10.3 percent in the prior year quarter.

Year to date March 31, 2018 cash flow provided by operating activities was $180.6 million, primarily due to the net inflow from net income with adjustments for non-cash items, partially offset by a net outflow from changes in other assets and liabilities.
Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2016June 2018 (Credit Agreement), is used to augment cash from operations and is an additional source of funds. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit loans of up to $600.0$700.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro,euros, Canadian dollars, poundpounds sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the Credit Agreement is based upon the type of borrowing under the facility and may be (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (2) the greater of the prime rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus an applicable margin, or (3) fixed as negotiated by us. The Credit Agreement matures in April 2021. We had no borrowings outstanding under our Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2018.June 2023.
The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). We were in compliance with all such covenants as of MarchDecember 31, 2018. For the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018, average daily borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were approximately $1.3$17.3 million. We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we finalized the accounting for the Toll Tax charge and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities at the reduced U.S. federal rate of 21.0 percent based upon USDT regulations and other relevant guidance issued through December 31, 2018. The adjustment to the Toll Tax charge during the quarter resulted in an additional net benefit of $3.9 million, decreasing the total Toll Tax charge to $78.0 million. We consider substantiallydo not expect to make a cash payment associated with the Toll Tax.
In addition to the direct effects of TCJA, the provisions of TCJA caused the Company to re-evaluate its permanent reinvestment assertion in all jurisdictions, concluding that a portion of the unremitted earnings and profits of ourcertain non-U.S. subsidiaries that have not previously been taxed in the U.S. toand affiliates will no longer be permanently reinvested. AsThese changes in assertion required the recognition of a resulttax charge of TCJA, which among other provisions allows$6.1 million primarily for a 100% dividends received deduction from controlled foreign subsidiaries, we will re-evaluate our assertion with respect to permanent reinvestment. As partwithholding and U.S. state income taxes. The remaining amount of this evaluation, we will consider our global working capital and capital investment requirements, among other considerations including the potential tax liabilities that would be incurred if theunremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries distribute cashcontinue to be indefinitely reinvested. With regard to the U.S. parent. Ifunremitted earnings which remain indefinitely reinvested, we determine that an entity should no longer remain subject to the permanent reinvestment assertion, we will accrue additional tax charges, including but not limited to state income taxes, withholding taxes and other relevant foreign taxes in the period the conclusion is determined. In accordance with SEC guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, we expect to complete our evaluation by December 22, 2018. 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, orincluding liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

During the three months endedAt December 31, 2017, we estimated the toll tax charge to be $77 million after available foreign tax credits. We recorded an adjustment to this estimate during the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily related to consideration of Internal Revenue Service notices issued during the March quarter. The adjustment resulted in an additional $6 million of expense, increasing the total estimated toll tax charge to $83 million as of March 31, 2018. The toll tax charge consumed our entire U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward and other credit carryforwards, which represent a significant portion of our previously available deferred tax assets, and was offset by the release of the valuation allowance associated with these assets. As a result of the March quarter adjustment, we estimate a cash payment of $6.4 million associated with the toll charge which will be paid over eight years, of which $5.9 million is classified as long-term accrued income taxes in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. The toll tax charge is preliminary, and subject to finalization of collecting all information, applying any additional regulatory guidance issued after March 31, 2018, considering changes in interpretations and assumptions and analyzing the calculation, along with foreign taxes and the related gross-up, in reasonable detail to complete the accounting.
At March 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents were $221.9$96.3 million, Total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,187.3$1,269.7 million and total debt was $697.5$595.1 million. Our current senior credit ratings are at investment grade levels. We believe that our current financial position, liquidity and credit ratings provide us access to the capital markets. We believe that we have sufficient resources available to meet cash requirements for the next 12 months. We continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and the condition of the capital markets, as well as the counterparty risk of our credit providers.
ThereOther than the completion of the early redemption of our previously outstanding $400.0 million of 2.650 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019 on July 9, 2018, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2017.2018.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working capital was $707.0 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $47.3 million from $659.6 million at June 30, 2018. The increase in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in current maturities of long-term debt of $399.3 million due to the early redemption of our $400 million of 2.650 percent Senior Unsecured Notes, an increase in inventories of $53.1 million due primarily to increasing demand and raw material price increases, a decrease in accrued expenses of $37.5 million primarily due to payroll timing and lower accrued vacation pay, a decrease in other current liabilities of $26.7 million primarily due to bonus and restructuring payments and a decrease in accounts payable of $23.6 million. Partially offsetting these items was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $459.9 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $20.6 million and an increase in accrued income taxes of $10.0 million due primarily to increased taxable income in taxpaying jurisdictions. Currency exchange rate effects decreased working capital by a total of approximately $12 million, the impact of which is included in the aforementioned changes.

At December 31, 2018, other assets were $557.0 million, an increase of $1.6 million from $555.4 million at June 30, 2018. The primary driver for the nine months ended Marchincrease was an increase in other assets of $12.4 million primarily due to an increase in pension plan assets, partially offset by an $8.0 million decrease in other intangible assets, which was due to amortization expense of $7.1 million and unfavorable currency exchange effects of approximately $1 million, and a decrease in goodwill of $1.8 million primarily due to unfavorable currency exchange effects.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital was $762.8 million at March 31, 2018, an increase of $110.4 million from $652.4 million at June 30, 2017. The increase in working capital was primarily driven by an increase in inventories of $49.5 million due primarily to increasing demand and cost inflation, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $31.3 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $30.1 million due in part to increasing volumes, a decrease in other current liabilities of $12.6 million primarily due to a decrease in the restructuring accrual and an increase in other current assets of $10.8 million due in part to reclassification of tax assets from deferred income taxes to other current assets related to an out of period adjustment. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in accrued income taxes of $21.1 million due primarily to increased taxable income in taxpaying jurisdictions. Currency exchange rate effects increased working capital by a total of $26.5 million, the impact of which is included in the aforementioned changes.
Property, plant and equipment, net increased $60.6 million from $744.4 million at June 30, 2017 to $805.0 million at March 31, 2018, primarily due to capital additions of $116.8 million and a positive currency exchange impact of $18.7 million during the current period. This increase was partially offset by depreciation expense of $70.0 million, impairment related to restructuring programs of $3.1 million and disposals of $2.2 million.
At March 31, 2018, other assets were $572.3 million, an increase of $15.1 million from $557.2 million at June 30, 2017. The primary drivers for the increase were an increase in other assets of $28.2 million primarily due to an increase in pension plan assets and an increase in goodwill of $8.1 million due to favorable currency exchange effects. This increase was partially offset by an $8.9 million decrease in other intangible assets, which was due to amortization expense of $11.0 million partially offset by favorable currency exchange effects of $2.1 million, and a $6.2 million decrease in deferred income taxes primarily due to out of period adjustment related to tax assets recorded on intra-entity inventory transfers, partially offset by release of the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets.
Long-term debt and capital leases increased by $1.1 million to $696.1 million at March 31, 2018 from $695.0 million at June 30, 2017.
Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,187.3 million at March 31, 2018, an increase of $170.0 million from $1,017.3 million at June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to net income attributable to Kennametal of $131.7 million, favorable currency exchange of $52.6 million and capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $33.6 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid to Shareholders of $48.8 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 Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), under which we have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) with respect to environmental remedial costs at certain Superfund sites. We have evaluated our claims and liabilities associated with these Superfund sites based upon best currently available information. We believe our environmental accruals are adequate to cover our portion of the environmental remedial costs at the Superfund sites where we have been designated a PRP, to the extent these expenses are probable and reasonably estimable.
Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the balances of these reserves were $12.8 million and $12.4 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 analysts who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Effective July 1, 2017 with the adoption of new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance on subsequent measurement of inventory, non-LIFO inventories are now stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. LIFO inventories continue to be stated at the lower of cost or market.
There have been no other changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2017.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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

RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL MEASURES NOT DEFINED BY U.S. GAAP
In accordance with SEC rules, below are the SEC's Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures we use in this report and the reconciliation of these measures to the most closely related GAAP financial measure. We believe that these measures provide useful perspective on underlying business trends and results and provide a supplemental measure of year-over-year results. The non-GAAP financial measures described below are used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for business strategy purposes. These measures may be useful to investors as they provide supplemental information about business performance and provide investors a view of our business results through the eyes of management. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered by the user in place of the related GAAP financial measure, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items or events being adjusted.
Organic sales growth Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures, business days and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We believe this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Also, we report organic sales growth at the consolidated and segment levels.
Constant currency end market sales growth (decline) Constant currency end market sales growth (decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (decline) (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) by end market excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We note that, unlike organic sales growth, constant currency end market sales growth (decline) does not exclude the impact of business days. We believe this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying end market trends by providing end market sales growth (decline) on a consistent basis. Also, we report constant currency end market sales growth (decline) at the consolidated and segment levels. Widia sales are reported only in the general engineering end market. Therefore, we do not provide constant currency end market sales growth for the Widia segment and, thus, do not include a reconciliation for that metric.

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



Constant currency regional sales growth (decline) Constant currency regional sales growth (decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (decline) (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) by region excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We note that, unlike organic sales growth, constant currency regional sales growth (decline) does not exclude the impact of business days. We believe this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying regional trends by providing regional sales growth (decline) on a consistent basis. Also, we report constant currency regional sales growth (decline) at the consolidated and segment levels.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). The Company's disclosure controls were designed to provide a reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance at MarchDecember 31, 2018 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.
