PART I
ITEM 1 — BUSINESS
OVERVIEWKennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943. We are a leading global supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence as well as our technological expertise and innovation in our principal products has helped us to achieve a leading market presence in our primary markets. End users of our products include metalworking manufacturers and suppliers across a diverse array of industries including the aerospace, automotive, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery industries, as well as manufacturers, producers and suppliers in a number of other industries including coal mining, highway construction, quarrying, and oil and gas exploration and production industries. Our end users’ products include items ranging from airframes to coal, engines to oil wells and turbochargers to motorcycle parts.
We specialize in developing and manufacturing metalworking tools and wear-resistant parts using a specialized type of powder metallurgy. Our metalworking tools are made of cemented tungsten carbides, ceramics, cermets and other hard materials. We also manufacture and market a complete line of toolholders, toolholding systems and rotary cutting tools by machining and fabricating steel bars and other metal alloys. We are one of the largest suppliers of metalworking consumables and related products in the United States (U.S.) and Europe. We also manufacture products made from tungsten carbide or other hard materials that are used in engineered applications, mining and highway construction and other similar applications, including compacts and metallurgical powders. Additionally, we manufacture and market engineered components with a proprietary metal cladding technology and provide our customers with engineered component process technology and materials that focus on component deburring, polishing and producing controlled radii.
Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a “year” is to a fiscal year ended June 30.
BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEWWe operate in two business segments consisting of Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) and Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG). Segment determination is based upon internal organizational structure, the manner in which we organize segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance, the availability of separate financial results and materiality considerations. Sales and operating income by segment are presented in Management’s Discussion and Analysis set forth in Item 7 of this annual report on Form 10-K (MD&A) and Note 23 in our consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 8 (Note 23).
METALWORKING SOLUTIONS & SERVICES GROUPIn the MSSG segment, we provide consumable metalcutting tools and tooling systems to manufacturing companies in a wide range of industries throughout the world. Metalcutting operations include turning, boring, threading, grooving, milling and drilling. Our tooling systems consist of a steel toolholder and cutting tool such as an indexable insert or drill made from cemented tungsten carbides, ceramics, cermets or other hard materials. During a metalworking operation, the toolholder is positioned in a machine that provides turning power. While the workpiece or toolholder is rapidly rotating, the cutting tool insert or drill contacts the workpiece and cuts or shapes the workpiece. The cutting tool insert or drill is consumed during use and must be replaced periodically.
We also provide custom solutions to our customers’ metalcutting needs through engineering services aimed at improving their competitiveness. Engineering services include field sales engineers identifying products that enhance productivity and engineering product designs to meet customer needs.
We serve a wide variety of industries that cut and shape metal and composite parts, including manufacturers of automobiles, trucks, aerospace components, farm equipment, oil and gas drilling and processing equipment, railroad, marine and power generation equipment, light and heavy machinery, appliances, factory equipment and metal components, as well as job shops and maintenance operations. We deliver our products to customers through a direct field sales force, distribution, integrated supply programs and electronic commerce. With a global marketing organization and operations worldwide, we believe we are one of the largest global providers of consumable metalcutting tools and supplies.
- 1 -
ADVANCED MATERIALS SOLUTIONS GROUPIn the AMSG segment, the principal business lines include the production and sale of cemented tungsten carbide products used in mining, highway construction and engineered applications requiring wear and corrosion resistance, including compacts and other similar applications. These products have technical commonality to our metalworking products. Additionally, we manufacture and market engineered components with a proprietary metal cladding technology as well as other hard materials that likewise provide wear resistance and life extension. These products include radial bearings used for directional drilling for oil and gas, extruder barrels used by plastics manufacturers and food processors and numerous other engineered components to service a wide variety of industrial markets. We also sell metallurgical powders to manufacturers of cemented tungsten carbide products, intermetallic composite ceramic powders and parts used in the metalized film industry, and we provide application-specific component design services and on-site application support services. Lastly, we provide our customers with engineered component process technology and materials, which focus on component deburring, polishing and producing controlled radii.
Our mining and construction tools include products fabricated from steel parts that are tipped with cemented carbide as well as wear resistant products made from proprietary steels and other hard materials. Mining tools, used primarily in the coal industry, include longwall shearer and continuous miner drums, blocks, conical bits, drills, pinning rods, augers, cladded products, wear pins and a wide range of mining tool accessories. Highway construction cutting tools include carbide-tipped bits for ditching, trenching and road planing, grader blades for site preparation and routine roadbed control and snowplow blades and shoes for winter road plowing. We produce these products for mine operators and suppliers, highway construction companies, municipal governments and manufacturers of mining equipment. We believe we are the worldwide market leader in mining and highway construction tooling.
Our customers use engineered products in manufacturing or other operations where extremes of abrasion, corrosion or impact require combinations of hardness or other toughness afforded by cemented tungsten carbides, ceramics or other hard materials. We believe we are the largest independent supplier of oil field compacts in the world. Compacts are the cutting edge of oil well drilling bits, which are commonly referred to as “rock bits.” We sell these products through a direct field sales force, distribution and electronic commerce.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONSDuring 2009, 54.6 percent of our sales were generated in markets outside of the U.S. Our principal international operations are conducted in Western Europe, Asia Pacific, India, Canada and Latin America. In addition, we have manufacturing and distribution operations in Israel and South Africa, as well as sales companies, sales agents and distributors in Eastern Europe and other areas of the world. The diversification of our overall operations tends to minimize the impact of changes in demand in any one particular geographic area on total sales and earnings. Our international operations are subject to the risks of doing business in those countries, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in social, political and economic environments.
Our international assets and sales are presented in Note 23. Information pertaining to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate risk is presented in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk as set forth in Item 7A of this annual report on Form 10-K.
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESSOver the past several years, we have been actively engaged in further balancing our geographic footprint between North America, Western Europe, and the rest of the world markets. This strategy, together with steps to enhance the balance of our sales among our end markets and business units, have helped to create a more diverse business base and thereby provide additional sales opportunities as well as limit reliance on and exposure to any specific region or market sector.
We entered fiscal year 2009 after delivering record sales in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Our sales continued to grow during the first months of fiscal year 2009 and we reported record September quarter sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Following that, global economic conditions and industrial activity deteriorated substantially with a further downward acceleration in the March 2009 quarter. This resulted in significantly lower industrial production and much lower demand for our products in all major geographic regions as well as most industry and market sectors. This had a corresponding effect on our sales levels, operating performance and financial results.
In response to the impact of the rapid and steep decline in global demand, we have undertaken and will continue to aggressively implement restructuring and other actions to reduce our manufacturing costs and operating expenses. We also have taken, and will continue to take, other specific and targeted steps to maximize cash flow and liquidity. We remain confident in our ability to manage through the global economic downturn and are poised to respond quickly to further changes in global markets while continuing to serve our customers and preserve our competitive strengths. At the same time, we will maintain a sharp focus on cash flow. Further discussion and analysis of the development in our business is set forth in MD&A in Item 7 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURESOn October 1, 2008, we acquired Tricon Metals and Services Inc. (Tricon) in our AMSG segment for a net purchase price of $64.1 million. Tricon is a leading supplier of custom wear solutions specializing in consumable proprietary steels for the surface and underground mining markets, including hard rock and coal. We also made a small acquisition within our MSSG segment in 2009.
On June 30, 2009, we completed the sale of our high speed steel drills business and related product lines (HSS) as we continued to focus on shaping our business portfolio and rationalizing our manufacturing footprint. Total cash proceeds from this divestiture, which was part of the MSSG segment, amounted to $29.0 million. The pre-tax loss on the sale and related pre-tax charges of $25.5 million, as well as the related tax effects, were recorded in discontinued operations in the June 2009 quarter. We expect to incur additional pre-tax charges related to this divestiture of $4.0 million to $7.0 million during the six months ending December 2009.
We continue to evaluate new opportunities for the expansion of existing product lines into new market areas where appropriate. We also continue to evaluate opportunities for the introduction of new and/or complementary product offerings into new and/or existing market areas where appropriate. Going forward, we expect to evaluate potential acquisition candidates that offer strategic technologies in an effort to continue to grow our AMSG business and further enhance our MSSG market position.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTIONWe sell our products through the following distinct sales channels: (i) a direct sales force; (ii) a network of independent distributors and sales agents in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific and other markets around the world; (iii) integrated supply and (iv) the Internet. Service engineers and technicians directly assist customers with product design, selection and application.
We market our products under various trademarks and trade names, such as Kennametal ® , the letter K with other identifying letters and/or numbers, Block Style K, Kenloc ® , Kenna-LOK™, KM Micro ® , Kentip ® , Widia Heinlein ® , Top Notch ® , ToolBoss ® , Kyon ® , Fix-Perfect ® , Mill1™, RTW ® , Circle ® , Conforma Clad ® , Extrude Hone ® and Surftran ®. Kennametal Inc. or a subsidiary of Kennametal Inc. owns these trademarks and trade names. We also sell products to customers who resell such products under the customers’ names or private labels.
RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIESMajor metallurgical raw materials consist of ore concentrates, compounds and secondary materials containing tungsten, tantalum, titanium, niobium and cobalt. Although an adequate supply of these raw materials currently exists, our major sources for raw materials are located abroad and prices fluctuate at times. We have entered into extended raw material supply agreements and will implement product price increases as deemed necessary to mitigate rising costs. For these reasons, we exercise great care in selecting, purchasing and managing availability of raw materials. We also purchase steel bars and forgings for making toolholders and other tool parts, as well as for producing rotary cutting tools and accessories. We obtain products purchased for use in manufacturing processes and for resale from thousands of suppliers located in the U.S. and abroad.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTOur product development efforts focus on providing solutions to our customers’ manufacturing problems and productivity requirements. Our product development program provides discipline and focus for the product development process by establishing “gateways,” or sequential tests, during the development process to remove inefficiencies and accelerate improvements. This program speeds and streamlines development into a series of actions and decision points, combining efforts and resources to produce new and enhanced products faster. This program is designed to assure a strong link between customer needs and corporate strategy and to enable us to gain full benefit from our investment in new product development.
Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $27.6 million, $32.6 million and $28.8 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We hold a number of patents which, in the aggregate, are material to the operation of our businesses.
SEASONALITYOur business is not materially affected by seasonal variations. However, to varying degrees, traditional summer vacation shutdowns of metalworking customers’ plants and holiday shutdowns often affect our sales levels during the first and second quarters of our fiscal year.
BACKLOGOur backlog of orders generally is not significant to our operations.
COMPETITIONWe are one of the world’s leading producers of cemented carbide products and we maintain a strong competitive position in all major markets worldwide. We actively compete in the sale of all our products with approximately 40 companies engaged in the cemented tungsten carbide business in the U.S. and many more outside the U.S. Several of our competitors are divisions of larger corporations. In addition, several hundred fabricators and toolmakers, many of which operate out of relatively small shops, produce tools similar to ours and buy the cemented tungsten carbide components for such tools from cemented tungsten carbide producers, including us. Major competition exists from both U.S. — and internationally-based concerns. In addition, we compete with thousands of industrial supply distributors.
- 3 -
The principal elements of competition in our businesses are service, product innovation and performance, quality, availability and price. We believe that our competitive strength derives from our customer service capabilities, including multiple distribution channels, our global presence, state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities, ability to develop solutions to address customer needs through new and improved tools and the consistent high quality of our products. With these strengths, we are able to sell products based on the value added productivity to the customer rather than strictly on competitive prices.
REGULATIONWe are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings; however, we are periodically subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Were an unfavorable outcome to occur, or if protracted litigation were to ensue, the impact could be material to us.
Compliance with government laws and regulations pertaining to the discharge of materials or pollutants into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment did not have a material effect on our capital expenditures or competitive position for the years covered by this report, nor is such compliance expected to have a material effect in the future.
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 PRPs. With respect to the Li Tungsten Superfund site in Glen Cove, New York, we remitted $0.9 million in 2008 to the Department of Justice (DOJ) as payment in full settlement for its claim against us for costs related to that site.
Reserves for other potential environmental issues at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $5.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The reserves that 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 take 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, as well as an EHS Steering Committee, to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have established an EHS coordinator at 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.
EMPLOYEESWe employed approximately 11,600 persons at June 30, 2009, of which approximately 4,900 were located in the U.S. and 6,700 in other parts of the world, principally Europe, India and Asia. At June 30, 2009, approximately 2,100 of the above employees were represented by labor unions. We consider our labor relations to be generally good.

ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS
Downturns in the business cycle could adversely affect our sales and profitability.Our business has historically been cyclical and subject to significant impact from economic downturns. During 2009, economic conditions deteriorated substantially in many of the countries and regions where we do business and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. This has had a commensurate effect on our sales and profitability, and we have responded by implementing restructuring and other actions to reduce our manufacturing costs and operating expenses. In light of the magnitude of the global economic downturn, we have limited visibility regarding global industrial activity and the corresponding demand for our products. We expect to continue to experience the adverse effects of the global recession for at least the next several months. We cannot assure you that our markets will recover in the foreseeable future. We cannot assure you that we will not incur additional restructuring charges, that we will achieve all of the anticipated benefits from restructuring actions we have taken or that our markets will recover in the near term.
Changes in the credit ratings assigned to our debt may adversely affect our ability to obtain capital and liquidity.In the fourth quarter both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s have reaffirmed our current investment grade ratings, but have modified their outlook from stable to negative, reflecting global economic uncertainty. We also have an investment grade rating from Fitch with a negative outlook. If we experience multiple downgrades in our credit ratings or if the credit and capital markets were to deteriorate, our access to the capital markets, the price we would have to pay or the amount we could raise may be negatively impacted.
We rely on our revolving credit facility to provide additional liquidity and operating flexibility. Although we believe that the banks participating in our recently amended credit facility have adequate capital and resources, we can provide no assurance that all of these banks will continue to operate as a going concern in the future. If any of the banks in our lending group were to fail, it is possible that the borrowing capacity under our credit facility would be reduced. In the event that the availability under our credit facility was reduced significantly, we could be required to obtain capital from alternate sources in order to finance our capital needs. If it becomes necessary to access additional capital, it is possible that any such alternatives in the current market would be on terms less favorable than under our current credit facility, which could have a negative impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
- 5 -
Our international operations pose certain risks that may adversely impact sales and earnings.We have manufacturing operations and assets located outside of the U.S., including Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, India, Israel and South Africa. We also sell our products to customers and distributors located outside of the U.S. During the year ended June 30, 2009, 54.6 percent of our consolidated sales were derived from non-U.S. markets. A key part of our long-term strategy is to increase our manufacturing, distribution and sales presence in international markets. These international operations are subject to a number of special risks, in addition to the risks of our domestic business, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, differing protections of intellectual property, trade barriers, exchange controls, regional economic uncertainty, differing (and possibly more stringent) labor regulation, labor unrest, risk of governmental expropriation, domestic and foreign customs and tariffs, current and changing regulatory environments (including, but not limited to, the risks associated with the importation and exportation of products and raw materials), risk of failure of our foreign employees to comply with both U.S. and foreign laws, including antitrust laws, trade regulations and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, difficulty in obtaining distribution support, difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations, differences in the availability and terms of financing, political instability and unrest and risks of increases in taxes. Also, in some foreign jurisdictions, we may be subject to laws limiting the right and ability of entities organized or operating therein to pay dividends or remit earnings to affiliated companies unless specified conditions are met. To the extent we are unable to effectively manage our international operations and these risks, our international sales may be adversely affected, we may be subject to additional and unanticipated costs, and we may be subject to litigation or regulatory action. As a consequence, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.
Changes in the regulatory environment, including environmental, health, and safety regulations, could subject us to increased compliance and manufacturing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Health and Safety Regulations.Certain of our products contain hard metals, including tungsten and cobalt. Hard metal dust is being studied for potential adverse health effects by organizations in both the U.S. and in Europe. Future studies on the health effects of hard metals may result in new regulations in the U.S. and Europe that may restrict or prohibit the use of, and exposure to, hard metal dust. New regulation of hard metals could require us to change our operations, and these changes could affect the quality of our products and materially increase our costs.
Environmental Regulations.We are subject to various environmental laws, and any violation of, or our liabilities under, these laws could adversely affect us. Our operations necessitate the use and handling of hazardous materials and, as a result, we are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing discharges to air and water, handling and disposal practices for solid and hazardous wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites and the maintenance of a safe work place. These laws impose penalties, fines and other sanctions for noncompliance and liability for response costs, property damages and personal injury resulting from past and current spills, disposals or other releases of, or exposure to, hazardous materials. We could incur substantial costs as a result of noncompliance with or liability for cleanup or other costs or damages under these laws. We may be subject to more stringent environmental laws in the future. If more stringent environmental laws are enacted in the future, these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulations affecting the mining and drilling industries or utilities industry.Some of our principal customers are mining and drilling or utility companies. Many of these customers supply coal, oil, gas or other fuels as a source for the production of utilities in the U.S. and other industrialized regions. The operations of these mining and drilling companies are geographically diverse and are subject to or impacted by a wide array of regulations in the jurisdictions where they operate, such as applicable environmental laws and regulations governing the operations of utilities. As a result of changes in regulations and laws relating to such industries, our customers’ operations could be disrupted or curtailed by governmental authorities. The high cost of compliance with mining, drilling and environmental regulations may also induce customers to discontinue or limit their operations, and may discourage companies from developing new opportunities. As a result of these factors, demand for our mining- and drilling-related products could be substantially affected by regulations adversely impacting the mining and drilling industries or altering the consumption patterns of utilities.
Our continued success depends on our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property.Our future success depends in part upon our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property. We rely principally on nondisclosure agreements and other contractual arrangements and trade secret law and, to a lesser extent, trademark and patent law, to protect our intellectual property. However, these measures may be inadequate to protect our intellectual property from infringement by others or prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do U.S. laws. If one of our patents is infringed upon by a third party, we may need to devote significant time and financial resources to attempt to halt the infringement. We may not be successful in defending the patents involved in such a dispute. Similarly, while we do not knowingly infringe on patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned by other parties, we may be required to spend a significant amount of time and financial resources to resolve any infringement claims against us. We may not be successful in defending our position or negotiating an alternative remedy. Our inability to protect our proprietary information and enforce or defend our intellectual property rights in proceedings initiated by or against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- 6 -
We operate in a highly competitive environment.Our domestic and foreign operations are subject to significant competitive pressures. We compete directly and indirectly with other manufacturers and suppliers of metalworking tools, engineered components and advanced materials. Some of our competitors are larger than we are, and may have greater access to financial resources or be less leveraged than us. In addition, the industry in which our products are used is a large, fragmented industry that is highly competitive.
If we are unable to retain our qualified management and employees, our business may be negatively affected.Our ability to provide high quality products and services depends in part on our ability to retain our skilled personnel in the areas of management, product engineering, servicing and sales. Competition for such personnel is intense and our competitors can be expected to attempt to hire our management and skilled employees from time to time. In addition, our strategies for growth are expected to place increased demands on our management skills and resources. If we are unable to retain our management team and professional personnel, our customer relationships and level of technical expertise could be negatively affected, which may materially and adversely affect our business.
Our future operating results may be affected by fluctuations in the prices and availability of raw materials.The raw materials we use for our products include ore concentrates, compounds and secondary materials containing tungsten, tantalum, titanium, niobium and cobalt. A significant portion of our raw materials are supplied by sources outside the U.S. The raw materials industry as a whole is highly cyclical, and at times pricing and supply can be volatile due to a number of factors beyond our control, including natural disasters, general economic and political conditions, labor costs, competition, import duties, tariffs and currency exchange rates. This volatility can significantly affect our raw material costs. In an environment of increasing raw material prices, competitive conditions can affect how much of the price increases in raw materials that we can recover in the form of higher sales prices for our products. To the extent we are unable to pass on any raw material price increases to our customers, our profitability could be adversely affected. Furthermore, restrictions in the supply of tungsten, cobalt and other raw materials could adversely affect our operating results. If the prices for our raw materials increase or we are unable to secure adequate supplies of raw materials on favorable terms, our profitability could be impaired.
Natural disasters or other global or regional catastrophic events could disrupt our operations and adversely affect results.Despite our concerted effort to minimize risk to our production capabilities and corporate information systems and to reduce the effect of unforeseen interruptions to us through business continuity planning, we still may be exposed to interruptions due to catastrophe, natural disaster, pandemic, terrorism or acts of war, which are beyond our control. Disruptions to our facilities or systems, or to those of our key suppliers, could also interrupt operational processes and adversely impact our ability to manufacture our products and provide services and support to our customers. As a result, our business, our results of operations, financial position, cash flows and stock price could be adversely affected.
We may not be able to manage and integrate acquisitions successfully.In the past, we have acquired companies and we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that have the potential to support and strengthen our business. We can give no assurances, however, that any acquisition opportunities will arise or if they do, that they will be consummated, or that additional financing, if needed, will be available on satisfactory terms. In addition, acquisitions involve inherent risks that the businesses acquired will not perform in accordance with our expectations. We may not be able to achieve the synergies and other benefits we expect from the integration of acquisitions as successfully or rapidly as projected, if at all. Our failure to effectively integrate newly acquired operations could prevent us from realizing our expected rate of return on an acquired business and could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on our business.The sale of metalworking, mining, highway construction and other tools and related products as well as engineered components and advanced materials entails an inherent risk of product liability claims. We cannot give assurance that the coverage limits of our insurance policies will be adequate or that our policies will cover any particular loss. Insurance can be expensive, and we may not always be able to purchase insurance on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Claims brought against us that are not covered by insurance or that result in recoveries in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 7 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements of Kennametal Inc. and the related footnotes. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a “year” is to a fiscal year ended June 30. Additionally, when used in this annual report on Form 10-K, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries.
OVERVIEWKennametal Inc. is a leading global supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence as well as our technological expertise and innovation in our principal products has enabled us to achieve a leading market presence in our primary markets. We believe that we are one of the largest global providers of consumable metalcutting tools and tooling supplies.
We entered fiscal year 2009 after delivering record sales in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Our sales continued to grow during the first months of our fiscal year 2009 and we reported record September quarter sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Following that, global economic conditions and industrial activity deteriorated substantially with a further downward acceleration in the March 2009 quarter. This resulted in significantly lower industrial production and much lower demand for our products in all major geographic regions, as well as most industry and market sectors. This had a corresponding effect on our sales levels, operating performance and financial results.
For the full fiscal year 2009, our sales were $2.0 billion, a decrease of 23 percent from the record $2.6 billion achieved in the prior fiscal year. For 2009, we recorded a net loss of $119.7 million, or $1.64 per diluted share. Included in our 2009 results were pre-tax restructuring and asset impairment charges of $173.7 million. Also included in our 2009 results was a loss on discontinued operations of $17.3 million, including a loss on divestiture. These items, along with other charges related to our restructuring programs, as well as the impact of the severe global economic downturn, were the primary drivers for the net loss that we recorded for 2009. Benefits realized from our restructuring actions and other cost reduction actions, as well as higher price realization, helped to mitigate these items.
Despite recording a net loss for the year, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $192.3 million during 2009. Also helping our cash flow, we reduced our capital expenditures by $58.6 million from the prior year. We also took other steps to improve our financial position and enhance our liquidity, including two significant actions taken in July 2009 which involved the amendment of our revolving credit facility and the issuance of 8.1 million shares of our capital stock.
While undertaking our many actions to reduce costs and optimize cash flow during the challenging economic environment in 2009, we took additional steps to further enhance our products and capabilities and preserve our competitive strengths. As a result of all of our actions, we believe that we are well positioned and better prepared to perform well in an eventual economic upturn.
In response to the impact of the rapid and steep decline in global demand, we implemented and will continue to drive restructuring programs and other measures to reduce our manufacturing costs and operating expenses. In April 2008, we announced restructuring actions to rationalize certain manufacturing and service facilities, as well as other employment and cost reduction programs. In January 2009, we announced a global salaried workforce reduction. In April 2009, we announced further restructuring actions which involve additional employment and other cost reduction programs. For our restructuring program in total, we realized approximately $50 million in pre-tax benefits from restructuring actions in 2009 and expect to realize approximately $75 million of additional pre-tax benefits from these actions in 2010. This would bring the total annual ongoing pre-tax benefits from restructuring to approximately $125 million.
In addition to our restructuring programs, we have taken and will continue to take other actions to adjust our costs and level of operations to the extent necessary and appropriate. These other actions included employee furloughs from March 2009 through June 2009 and the suspension of matching contributions to certain employee benefit plans effective March 2009. We also implemented salary reductions effective July 2009 which will remain in effect until business conditions improve to a level that will permit partial or full restoration of the previous employee compensation levels.
As a result of the impact of the severe downturn in the global economy, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge related to two businesses within our AMSG segment during 2009. This charge amounted to $111.0 million, of which $100.2 million was for goodwill and $10.8 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark.

Our sharp focus on cash flow generation and liquidity during 2009 included persistent diligence with receivable collection, close management of production and inventory levels and tight control over capital expenditures. We reduced inventory in each of the final three quarters of 2009 despite the rapid and steep drop-off in sales volumes. This included a $60 million inventory reduction in the second half of the fiscal year. At the same time, we maintained high off-the-shelf inventory availability. Capital expenditures were reduced to $12 million in the June 2009 quarter which is the lowest quarterly capital spending level since the December 2003 quarter.
Also providing us with additional cash as well as taking another positive step in shaping our business portfolio was the completion of the divestiture of our high speed steel drills business, including related product lines and assets (HSS) on June 30, 2009. The cash proceeds from this deal are $29 million. We received $2 million of these cash proceeds prior to closing and another $24 million in July 2009. We expect to receive the remaining balance in the December 2009 quarter. For 2009, this divested business generated sales of $81 million and essentially breakeven results.
Earlier in the fiscal year, we enhanced our business portfolio within the AMSG segment with the acquisition of Tricon, a leading supplier of custom wear solutions in the surface and underground mining markets.
In addition, we invested further in technology and innovation to continue delivering a high level of new products to our customers. Research and development expenses totaled $27.6 million for 2009. In 2009, we generated over 40 percent of our sales from new products.
Our financial position and liquidity were further bolstered by the amendment to our credit facility and the common stock issuance that we undertook in July 2009.
RESTRUCTURING ACTIONSDuring 2009, we continued to implement restructuring plans to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies. These actions relate to the rationalization of certain manufacturing and service facilities as well as other employment and cost reduction programs. Restructuring and related charges recorded in 2009 amounted to $73.3 million. This included $64.7 million of restructuring charges of which $2.1 million were related to inventory disposals and recorded as cost of goods sold. Restructuring related charges of $8.8 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and a net restructuring benefit of $0.2 million was recorded in operating expense. See Note 16 in our consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 8.
Total restructuring and related charges since the inception of our restructuring plans through June 30, 2009 were $81.5 million. Including these charges, we expect to recognize approximately $115 million of pre-tax charges related to our restructuring plans. The majority of the remaining charges are expected to be incurred by December 31, 2009, most of which are expected to be cash expenditures. We realized pre-tax benefits of approximately $50 million from these actions in fiscal 2009 and expect to realize approximately $75 million of additional pre-tax benefits in fiscal 2010. This would bring the annual ongoing pre-tax benefits from these actions to approximately $125 million.
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURESOn October 1, 2008, we acquired Tricon Metals and Services Inc. (Tricon) in our AMSG segment for a net purchase price of $64.1 million. Tricon is a leading supplier of custom wear solutions specializing in consumable proprietary steels for the surface and underground mining markets, including hard rock and coal. During 2009, we also made a small acquisition within our MSSG segment.
During 2008, we did not complete any material acquisitions or divestitures. However, we made two small acquisitions in Europe, both within our MSSG segment. Also during 2008, we divested two small, non-core businesses from our MSSG segment, one in the U.S. and one in Europe. Combined cash proceeds received were $20.2 million and we recognized a combined loss on divestitures of $0.6 million.
During 2007, we completed five acquisitions. Three of these acquisitions were in our AMSG segment and two were within our MSSG segment.
- 14 -
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSOn June 30, 2009, we divested HSS from our MSSG segment as part of our continuing focus to shape our business portfolio and rationalize our manufacturing footprint. This divestiture was accounted for as discontinued operations. Cash proceeds from this divestiture were $29 million, of which $2 million was received prior to closing and $24 million was received in July 2009. We expect to receive the remaining $3 million in proceeds in the December 2009 quarter. For 2009, this divested business generated sales of $81 million and essentially breakeven results. The pre-tax loss on the sale and related pre-tax charges of $25.5 million, as well as the related tax effects, were recorded in discontinued operations. We expect to incur additional pre-tax charges related to this divestiture of $4.0 million to $7.0 million during the six months ending December 2009.
During 2007, we completed two other divestitures which were accounted for as discontinued operations. See Note 5 in our consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 8.
The following represents the results of discontinued operations for the years ended June 30:

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
SALESSales of $1,999.9 million in 2009 decreased 22.8 percent versus $2,590.0 million in 2008. The decrease in sales was primarily due to organic sales decline of $549.7 million and unfavorable foreign currency effects of $62.7 million, partially offset by the net favorable impact of acquisitions and divestitures of $22.3 million. As a result of the severe downturn in the global economy, organic sales declined in all major metalworking markets. Organic sales declined in our advanced materials business primarily due to lower sales in the surface finishing machines and services business, as well as the engineered products business.
Sales of $2,590.0 million in 2008 increased 14.3 percent versus $2,265.3 million in 2007. The increase in sales was primarily attributed to organic sales growth of $97.9 million, the impact of acquisitions of $86.8 million and favorable foreign currency effects of $140.0 million. Regionally, organic sales growth was mostly driven by growth in European and Asia Pacific markets offset somewhat by weakness in the North American market. Organic sales growth by sector was led by year-over-year expansion in the aerospace, machine tools, general engineering, mining and highway construction markets.
GROSS PROFITGross profit decreased $330.6 million to $576.5 million in 2009 from $907.1 million in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to lower organic sales volume, reduced absorption of manufacturing costs due to lower production levels, less favorable business unit mix, temporary disruption effects from restructuring programs, unfavorable foreign currency effects of $12.9 million, an increase in restructuring and related charges of $9.5 million. Improved price realization more than offset the impact of higher raw material costs. In addition, the benefits of restructuring and other cost reduction actions, lower provisions for incentive compensation programs as well as the net favorable impact of acquisitions and divestitures helped to mitigate the impact of lower sales and production volumes. The gross profit margin for 2009 decreased to 28.8 percent from 35.0 percent in 2008.
Gross profit increased $79.9 million to $907.1 million in 2008 from $827.2 million in 2007. The 9.7 percent increase was primarily due to organic sales growth, the effect of acquisitions, the effects of price increases and the impact of favorable foreign currency effects of $53.9 million. These benefits were partially offset by higher raw material costs, particularly products containing steel and cobalt, as well as a less favorable sales mix primarily due to a lower proportion of sales of energy-related products and lower performance in our surface finishing machines and services business. Gross profit for 2008 included restructuring charges of $1.2 million related to inventory write-offs and $0.2 million of other restructuring-related charges. The gross profit margin for 2008 decreased to 35.0 percent from 36.5 percent in 2007.
OPERATING EXPENSEOperating expense in 2009 was $489.6 million, a decrease of $104.6 million, or 17.6 percent, compared to $594.2 million in 2008. The decrease is attributable to an $80.0 million decrease in employment expenses driven by restructuring and cost management activities as well as lower provisions for incentive compensation programs of $24.3 million, favorable foreign currency effects of $15.0 million, a decrease in restructuring and related charges of $2.1 million, and the impact of other cost reductions of $16.6 million, offset somewhat by the net unfavorable impact of acquisitions and divestitures of $9.1 million.
- 15 -
Operating expense in 2008 was $594.2 million, an increase of $50.2 million, or 9.2 percent, compared to $544.0 million in 2007. The increase in operating expense was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency effects of $32.0 million, the impact of acquisitions of $16.5 million, a $5.9 million increase in employment costs and a $5.7 million increase in professional fees, partially offset by a $9.9 million decrease in other expenses. Operating expense for 2008 included restructuring-related charges of $1.9 million.
RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGESDuring 2009, we initiated certain restructuring actions and recognized $64.7 million of restructuring charges of which $62.6 million were recorded as restructuring charges and $2.1 million were related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of goods sold. See the discussion under the heading “Restructuring Actions” within this MD&A for additional information.
In the process of preparing our interim financial statements for the March 2009 quarter, we determined that the magnitude and duration of the economic downturn, as well as other factors, served as a triggering event for an impairment test of our surface finishing machines and services business as well as our engineered products business. These businesses are both part of our AMSG segment. As a result of our test, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $100.2 million. Of this amount, $37.3 million related to our surface finishing machines and services business and $62.9 million related to our engineered products business. No goodwill remains on the books for our surface finishing machines and services business. In addition, as a result of our impairment test, we recorded a $10.8 million impairment charge for the indefinite-lived trademark for our surface finishing machines and services business in 2009.
We also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $35.0 million during 2008 for our surface finishing machines and services business. The change was recorded as a result of a revised earnings forecast for the business due to a decline in operating performance and market weakness.
During 2007, we completed our strategic analysis and plan for our Widia brand. As a key element of our channel and brand strategy, we decided to leverage the strength of this brand to accelerate growth in the distribution market. Since demand in the distribution market is mostly for standard products and to further our relationship with our Widia distributors, we furthermore decided to migrate direct sales of Widia custom solutions products to the Kennametal brand. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $6.0 million related to our MSSG Widia trademark during 2007.
LOSS ON DIVESTITURESDuring 2008, we completed the divestitures of two non-core MSSG businesses for proceeds of $20.2 million and recognized a net loss on divestitures of $0.6 million. The results of operations for these businesses were not material and have not been presented as discontinued operations.
During 2007, we recorded a loss on divestiture of $1.6 million as a result of a post-closing adjustment related to our divestiture of J&L Industrial Supply.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLESAmortization expense was $13.1 million in 2009, a decrease of $0.8 million from $13.9 million in 2008. The decrease was due to some intangibles becoming fully amortized in 2009.
Amortization expense was $13.9 million in 2008, an increase of $4.0 million from $9.9 million in 2007. The increase was due to the impact of acquisitions.
INTEREST EXPENSEInterest expense decreased $4.4 million to $27.2 million in 2009, compared with $31.6 million in 2008. This decrease was due to lower average interest rates on domestic borrowings of 3.9 percent, compared to 6.2 percent in 2008. The portion of our debt subject to variable rates of interest was approximately 34 percent and 68 percent at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in the portion of our debt subject to variable rates was due to the termination in February 2009 of interest rate swap agreements to convert $200 million of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt.
Interest expense increased $2.6 million to $31.6 million in 2008, compared with $29.0 million in 2007. This increase was primarily due to an increase in average domestic borrowings of $110.2 million, offset in part by the effect of lower average interest rates on domestic borrowings of 6.2 percent, compared to 7.0 percent in 2007. The portion of our debt subject to variable rates of interest was approximately 68 percent and 53 percent at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
OTHER INCOME, NETIn 2009, other income, net increased by $12.2 million to $14.6 million compared to $2.4 million in 2008. The increase was primarily due to a favorable change in foreign currency transaction results of $13.1 million.
In 2008, other income, net decreased by $6.0 million to $2.4 million compared to $8.4 million in 2007. The decrease was due to unfavorable foreign currency transaction results of $4.4 million, lower other income of $1.6 million and lower interest income of $0.6 million.
INCOME TAXESThe effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2009 was 10.0 percent (benefit on a loss) compared to 27.4 percent (provision on income) for 2008. The change in the effective rate from 2008 to 2009 was primarily driven by asset impairment charges in
- 16 -
both periods. In addition, the 2009 effective rate benefited from a valuation allowance adjustment in Europe as well as the settlement of a routine audit examination in the U.S. The 2008 effective rate was unfavorably impacted by a non-cash income tax charge related to a German tax reform bill that was enacted in the first quarter of 2008, but benefited from our dividend reinvestment plan in China.
The effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2008 was 27.4 percent compared to 27.8 percent for 2007. The decrease in the effective rate from 2007 to 2008 was primarily driven by a further increase in earnings under our pan-European business strategy, the combined effects of other international operations, and a tax benefit associated with a dividend reinvestment plan in China. The effects of these items were partially offset by the effect of the goodwill impairment charge related to our surface finishing machines and services businesses for which there was no tax benefit, and a non-cash income tax charge related to a German tax reform bill that was enacted in the first quarter of 2008.
During 2008, we made a change in our determination with respect to cumulative undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries and affiliates whereby we now consider unremitted previously taxed income of our international subsidiaries to not be permanently reinvested. As a result of this change, we accrued an income tax liability of $3.0 million. Of this amount, $2.1 million decreased accumulated other comprehensive income and $0.9 million increased tax expense.
(LOSS) INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONSLoss from continuing operations was ($102.4) million, or ($1.40) per diluted share, in 2009 compared to income of $163.7 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, in 2008. The decrease in income from continuing operations was a result of the factors previously discussed.
Income from continuing operations was $163.7 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, in 2008 compared to $174.7 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, in 2007. The decrease in income from continuing operations was a result of the factors previously discussed.
BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEWOur operations are organized into two reportable operating segments consisting of Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) and Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG), and Corporate. The presentation of segment information reflects the manner in which we organize segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
METALWORKING SOLUTIONS & SERVICES GROUP
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
|
External sales | | $ | 1,191,759 | | | $ | 1,674,516 | | | $ | 1,457,077 | |
Intersegment sales | | | 139,509 | | | | 174,004 | | | | 135,502 | |
Operating (loss) income | | | (19,180 | ) | | | 255,391 | | | | 217,706 | |
|
External sales of $1,191.8 million in 2009 decreased by $482.8 million, or 28.8 percent, from 2008. The decrease in sales was attributed to organic sales decline of 25 percent, unfavorable foreign currency effects of 3 percent and the effects of divestitures of 1 percent. On a global basis, industrial production declined sequentially and in comparison to the prior year. On a regional basis, Europe and North America reported organic sales declines of 27 percent and 26 percent, respectively. India, Asia Pacific and Latin America also experienced organic sales declines of 24 percent, 16 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
Operating loss for 2009 was $19.2 million and reflects a decrease in operating performance of $274.6 million or 107.5 percent, from the operating income generated in 2008. The primary drivers of the decline in operating performance were reduced sales volumes and the related lower manufacturing cost absorption due to lower production levels, as well as higher restructuring and related charges. This was offset in part by restructuring benefits and other cost reduction actions, as well as higher price realization. MSSG operating (loss) income included restructuring and related charges of $52.9 million and $4.9 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
External sales of $1,674.5 million in 2008 increased by $217.4 million, or 14.9 percent, from 2007. The increase in sales was attributed to organic sales growth of 5 percent, favorable foreign currency effects of 7 percent and the effects of acquisitions of 3 percent. The organic sales growth was driven by increases in Europe of 8 percent, Asia Pacific of 15 percent, India of 8 percent and Latin America of 9 percent partially offset by an organic sales decline in North America of 3 percent. Industrial activity remained positive in most industry sectors on a global basis, most notably aerospace, machine tools and general engineering. Favorable foreign currency effects were $108.0 million for 2008.
Operating income for 2008 increased by $37.7 million, or 17.3 percent, from 2007. These results benefited from sales growth as discussed above, favorable foreign currency effects, continued cost containment and the impact of acquisitions. MSSG operating income included restructuring and related charges of $3.2 million and $1.7 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively.

External sales | | $ | 808,100 | | | $ | 915,270 | | | $ | 808,259 | |
Intersegment sales | | | 17,805 | | | | 39,131 | | | | 42,881 | |
Operating (loss) income | | | (39,539 | ) | | | 83,925 | | | | 131,323 | |
|
External sales of $808.1 million in 2009 decreased by $107.2 million, or 11.7 percent, from 2008. The decrease in sales was attributed to organic sales decline of 15 percent, unfavorable foreign currency effects of 2 percent, partially offset by the positive effects of acquisitions of 5 percent. The decrease in organic sales was driven by lower sales in the engineered products business, as well as reduced demand for surface finishing machines and services and energy related products.
Operating loss for 2009 was $39.5 million and reflects a decrease of $123.5 million, or 147.1 percent, from the operating income generated in 2008. The decrease was driven by lower sales and production volumes, as well as higher impairment and restructuring and related charges. A considerable portion of these impacts were offset by a combination of restructuring benefits and other cost reductions, as well as higher price realization. For 2009, operating loss included $111.0 million of impairment charges and $18.3 million of restructuring and related charges, compared to $35.0 million of impairment charges and $3.0 million of restructuring charges in 2008.
External sales of $915.3 million in 2008 increased by $107.0 million, or 13.2 percent, from 2007. The increase in sales was attributed to organic sales growth of 4 percent and the effects of acquisitions of 5 percent and favorable foreign currency effects of 4 percent. The increase in organic sales was driven by stronger mining and construction product sales, which were up 10 percent, and energy and related product sales, which were up 3 percent. Engineered product sales were flat in 2008. Favorable foreign currency effects were $32.0 million for 2008.
Operating income for 2008 decreased $47.4 million, or 36.1 percent, from 2007. The decrease in operating income was driven by a $35.0 million goodwill impairment charge and higher raw material costs as well as lower performance related to our surface finishing machines and services business and a less favorable sales mix. AMSG operating income included restructuring charges of $3.0 million for 2008.
CORPORATE
Corporate represents corporate shared service costs, certain employee benefit costs, certain employment costs, such as performance-based bonuses and stock-based compensation expense, and eliminations of operating results between segments.

|
Operating loss | | $ | (41,099 | ) | | $ | (80,769 | ) | | $ | (83,290 | ) |
|
In 2009, operating loss decreased $39.7 million, or 49.1 percent, from 2008. The decrease was primarily due to lower provisions for performance-based employee compensation programs of $28.5 million as well as lower shared service and other costs principally from employment and other cost reduction actions. Corporate operating loss for 2009 also included $2.1 million of restructuring and related costs.
In 2008, operating loss decreased $2.5 million, or 3.0 percent, from 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower shared services expense of $6.6 million and reduced pension and other postretirement benefit expenses of $3.5 million, partially offset by lower other income of $5.6 million and higher employment costs of $2.6 million. Corporate operating loss included $0.3 million of restructuring-related costs for 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESCash flow from operations is our primary source of funding for capital expenditures and internal growth. During the year ended June 30, 2009, cash flow provided by operating activities was $192.3 million, which exceeded our investment in capital expenditures and business acquisitions for the year.
As an additional source of funds to meet our cash requirements, we have a five-year, multi currency, revolving credit facility entered into in March 2006 (2006 Credit Agreement) that extends to March 2011. The 2006 Credit Agreement permits revolving credit loans of up to $500.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The 2006 Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the 2006 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 0.5 percent or (3) fixed as negotiated by us.
- 18 -
The 2006 Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of June 30, 2009. Borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2009 were $133.4 million.
Borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.
On July 6, 2009, we entered into an amendment to our 2006 Credit Agreement. The amendment provides for the exclusion of certain cash restructuring charges from the earnings component used in the calculation of the leverage and interest ratios. In addition, the amendment provides for an increase in the permitted leverage ratio for certain quarterly measurement dates. The amendment also provides restrictions on share repurchases and securitizations as well as future acquisitions and capital leases should leverage ratios exceed the permitted ratio that prevailed prior to the amendment. Furthermore, the amendment would require security interest in our domestic accounts receivable and inventories should our leverage ratio exceed a certain threshold. The amendment includes an increase in interest rates on borrowings of approximately 200 basis points.
Additionally, we obtain local financing through credit lines with commercial banks in the various countries in which we operate. At June 30, 2009, these borrowings amounted to $28.2 million of notes payable and $6.9 million of term debt and capital leases. We believe that cash flow from operations and the availability under our credit lines will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements over the next 12 months.
Based upon our debt structure at June 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately 34 percent and 68 percent of our debt, respectively, was exposed to variable rates of interest. The decrease in the portion of our debt subject to variable rates was due to the termination in February 2009 of interest rate swap agreements to convert $200 million of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt.
At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $69.8 million. Total shareowners’ equity was $1,247.4 million and total debt was $486.0 million, including borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement, as of June 30, 2009. Our current senior credit ratings are at investment grade levels. We believe that our current financial position, liquidity and credit ratings provide access to the capital markets. We continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and the condition of the capital markets as well as the counterparty risk of our credit providers.
Also during July 2009, we completed the issuance of 8.1 million shares of common stock generating net proceeds of $120.3 million which were used to pay down outstanding indebtedness under our revolving credit facility. This enhances our liquidity, further strengthens our financial position and provides us with additional operating flexibility during the current economic environment.

3) | | Annual payments are expected to continue into the foreseeable future at the amounts noted in the table. |
|
4) | | Capital leases include interest obligations of $0.4 million. |
|
5) | | Purchase obligations consist of purchase commitments for materials, supplies and machinery and equipment as part of the ordinary conduct of business. Purchase obligations with variable price provisions were determined assuming current market prices as of June 30, 2009 remain constant. |
|
6) | | Unrecognized tax benefits are positions taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return that may result in additional payments to tax authorities. These amounts include interest of $1.6 million accrued related to such positions as of June 30, 2009. The amount included for 2010 is expected to be settled within the next twelve months. The remaining amount of unrecognized tax benefits is included in the ‘Thereafter’ column as we are not able to reasonably estimate the timing of potential future payments. If a tax authority agrees with the tax position taken or expected to be taken or the applicable statute of limitations expires, then additional payments will not be necessary. |

Cash flows from discontinued operations are not deemed material and have been combined with cash flows from continuing operations within each cash flow statement category. The absence of cash flows from discontinued operations is not expected to have a material impact on our future liquidity and capital resources.
Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
During 2009, cash flow provided by operating activities was $192.3 million, compared to $279.8 million in 2008. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the current year consisted of net loss and non-cash items amounting to $113.1 million of cash generation, including $115.2 million of restructuring and asset impairment charges, plus cash provided by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to $79.2 million. Contributing to these changes was a decrease in accounts receivable of $200.2 million and a decrease in inventories of $36.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $118.1 million, a decrease in accrued income taxes of $12.0 million and a decrease in other liabilities of $26.9 million.
During 2008, cash flow provided by operating activities was $279.8 million and consisted of net income and non-cash items totaling $346.4 million, including $39.9 million of restructuring and asset impairment charges, offset somewhat by net changes in certain assets and liabilities of $66.6 million. Contributing to these changes were an increase in inventory of $34.0 million due primarily to higher raw material prices and initiatives to increase service levels, an increase in accounts receivable of $14.3 million and a decrease in accrued income taxes of $9.7 million.
During 2007, cash flow provided by operating activities was $199.0 million and consisted of net income and non-cash items totaling $270.1 million offset somewhat by net changes in certain assets and liabilities of $71.1 million. Contributing to these net changes were a $31.1 million increase in accounts receivable due to higher sales volumes, a $26.1 million increase in inventory due to higher sales volume and increased raw material inventory, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $39.3 million and a decrease in accrued income taxes of $63.5 million primarily due to first quarter tax payments of $86.2 million that mostly related to the gain on divestiture of J&L and cash repatriated during 2006 under the American Job Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA).
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Cash flow used for investing activities was $170.1 million for 2009, an increase of $38.9 million, compared to $131.2 million in 2008. During the current year, cash flow used for investing activities included $104.8 million used for purchases of property, plant and equipment, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades, and $69.5 million used for the acquisition of business assets, primarily the Tricon acquisition with a net purchase price of $64.1 million.
We have projected our capital expenditures for 2010 to be approximately $60.0 million, which will be used primarily to invest in equipment upgrades and manufacturing capabilities. We believe this level of capital spending is sufficient to maintain competitiveness and improve productivity.
Cash flow used for investing activities was $131.2 million in 2008, and included $163.5 million used for purchases of property, plant and equipment, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades and geographical expansion, partially offset by proceeds from divestitures of $23.2 million and proceeds from the sale of investments in affiliated companies of $5.9 million.
Cash flow used for investing activities was $302.5 million in 2007, and included $246.5 million used for the acquisition of business assets and $92.0 million used for purchases of property, plant and equipment, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades, partially offset by proceeds from divestitures of $36.2 million.
Cash Flow Used for Financing Activities
Cash flow used for financing activities was $15.5 million for 2009, compared to $125.7 million in 2008. During the current year, cash flow used for financing activities included a $128.0 million net increase in borrowings, $12.6 million in proceeds from termination of interest rate swap agreements and $4.9 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans offset by $127.7 million used for the repurchase of capital stock and $35.5 million of cash dividends paid to shareowners.
In 2008, cash flow used for financing activities was $125.7 million and included $65.4 million for the repurchase of capital stock, a net decrease in borrowings of $38.1 million and $36.0 million of cash dividends paid to shareowners, partially offset by $14.8 million of dividend reinvestment and the effects of employee benefit and stock plans.
- 20 -
In 2007, cash flow used for financing activities was $82.7 million and included net decrease in borrowings of $53.3 million, $41.4 million for the repurchase of capital stock and $31.8 million of cash dividends paid to shareowners, partially offset by $50.9 million of dividend reinvestment and the effects of employee benefit and stock plans.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTSWe previously had an agreement with a financial institution whereby we were permitted to securitize, on a continuous basis, an undivided interest in a specific pool of our domestic trade accounts receivable. Pursuant to this agreement, we, and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, sold our domestic accounts receivable to Kennametal Receivables Corporation, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. This agreement was discontinued in 2008.
At June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no accounts receivables securitized under this program.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONAt June 30, 2009, total assets were $2,347.0 million having decreased $437.3 million from $2,784.3 million at June 30, 2008. Total liabilities decreased $35.4 million from $1,114.9 million at June 30, 2008 to $1,079.5 million at June 30, 2009.
Working capital was $496.9 million at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $133.8 million or 21.2 percent from $630.7 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts receivable of $233.8 million and a decrease in inventory of $79.5 million, increase in short-term debt of $15.8 million, offset by an increase in other current assets of $55.4 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $101.9 million, and a decrease in accrued payroll of $38.6 million. Foreign currency effects accounted for $40.1 million, $28.6 million, ($0.5) million, $3.4 million, ($9.5) million and ($7.8) million and were included in the change in accounts receivable, inventory, short-term debt, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued payroll, respectively.
Property, plant and equipment, net decreased $29.5 million from $749.8 million at June 30, 2008 to $720.3 million at June 30, 2009, primarily due to depreciation expense of $83.2 million and unfavorable foreign currency impact of $33.5 million, divestitures and disposals of $23.7 million, partially offset by capital additions of $104.8 million.
At June 30, 2009, other assets were $750.7 million, a decrease of $131.9 million from $882.6 million at June 30, 2008. The primary drivers for the reduction were a decrease in goodwill of $105.5 million and a decrease in intangible assets of $19.8 million. The decrease in goodwill was driven by write-downs related to impairment of $100.2 million as well as unfavorable foreign currency effects of $22.9 million and divestitures of $5.8 million, partially offset by additions related to a business acquisition of $23.4 million. The decrease in intangible assets was due to the write-down of a trademark intangible of $10.8 million as well as unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $7.7 million and amortization of $13.1 million, partially offset by additions related to business acquisitions of $11.8 million.
Long-term debt and capital leases increased $123.5 million to $436.6 million at June 30, 2009 from $313.1 million at June 30, 2008 primarily due to borrowings for the repurchase of capital stock of $127.7 million.
Shareowners’ equity was $1,247.4 million at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $400.5 million from $1,647.9 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to a reduction in foreign currency translation adjustments of $119.8 million, the purchase of capital stock of $127.7 million, net loss of $119.7 million and cash dividends paid to shareowners of $35.5 million.
In July 2009, we completed the issuance of 8.1 million shares of our common stock generating net proceeds of $120.3 million which were used to pay down outstanding indebtedness.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERSThe 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 SitesWe are involved as a PRP at various sites designated by the USEPA as Superfund sites. With respect to the Li Tungsten Superfund site in Glen Cove, New York, we remitted $0.9 million in 2008 to the DOJ as payment in full settlement for its claim against us for costs related to that site and reversed the remaining accrual of $0.1 million to operating expense. For certain of these sites, we have evaluated the claims and potential liabilities and have determined that neither are material, individually or in the aggregate. For certain other sites, proceedings are in the very early stages and have not yet progressed to a point where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRPs.
- 21 -
Other Environmental IssuesWe establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the total of accruals for these reserves was $5.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively. These totals represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues. Cash payments of $0.1 million and $1.0 million were made against these reserves during 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recorded favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.7 million during 2009 related to these reserves. We recorded unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.8 million during 2008 related to these reserves.
We maintain a Corporate EHS Department, as well as an EHS Steering Committee, to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have established an EHS coordinator at 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.
EFFECTS OF INFLATIONDespite modest inflation in recent years, rising costs, in particular the cost of certain raw materials, continue to affect our operations throughout the world. We strive to minimize the effects of inflation through cost containment, productivity improvements and price increases under competitive conditions.
DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIESIn preparing our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in our financial statements. As part of our financial reporting process, our management collaborates to determine the necessary information on which to base our judgments and develops estimates used to prepare the financial statements. We use historical experience and available information to make these judgments and estimates. However, different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and in light of different facts and circumstances. Therefore, actual amounts could differ from the estimates reflected in our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies.
Revenue RecognitionWe recognize revenue upon shipment of our products and assembled machines. Our general conditions of sale explicitly state that the delivery of our products and assembled machines is F.O.B. shipping point and that title and all risks of loss and damages pass to the buyer upon delivery of the sold products or assembled machines to the common carrier.
Our general conditions of sale explicitly state that acceptance of the conditions of shipment is considered to have occurred unless written notice of objection is received by Kennametal within 10 calendar days of the date specified on the invoice. We do not ship products or assembled machines unless we have documentation authorizing shipment to our customers. Our products are consumed by our customers in the manufacture of their products. Historically, we have experienced very low levels of returned products and assembled machines and do not consider the effect of returned products and assembled machines to be material. We have recorded an estimated returned goods allowance to provide for any potential returns.
We warrant that products and services sold are free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service when correctly installed, used and maintained. This warranty terminates 30 days after delivery of the product to the customer, and does not apply to products that have been subjected to misuse, abuse, neglect or improper storage, handling or maintenance. Products may be returned to Kennametal only after inspection and approval by Kennametal and upon receipt by the customer of shipping instructions from Kennametal. We have included an estimated allowance for warranty returns in our returned goods allowance discussed above.
We recognize revenue related to the sale of specialized assembled machines upon customer acceptance and installation, as installation is deemed essential to the functionality of a specialized assembled machine. Sales of specialized assembled machines were immaterial for 2009, 2008 and 2007.
Stock-Based CompensationWe recognize stock-based compensation expense for all stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units over the period from the date of grant to the date when the award is no longer contingent on the employee providing additional service (substantive vesting period). We continue to follow the nominal vesting period approach for unvested awards granted prior to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (revised 2004)” on July 1, 2005. We utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method to establish the fair value of all awards.
Accounting for ContingenciesWe accrue for contingencies when it is probable that a liability or loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Contingencies by their nature relate to uncertainties that require the exercise of judgment in both assessing whether or not a liability or loss has been incurred and estimating the amount of probable loss. The significant contingencies affecting our financial statements include environmental, health and safety matters and litigation.
- 22 -
Long-Lived AssetsWe evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are amortized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of any such assets may not be fully recoverable. Changes in circumstances include technological advances, changes in our business model, capital structure, economic conditions or operating performance. Our evaluation is based upon, among other things, our assumptions about the estimated future undiscounted cash flows these assets are expected to generate. When the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, we will recognize an impairment loss to the extent that carrying value exceeds fair value. We apply our best judgment when performing these evaluations to determine if a triggering event has occurred, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess recoverability and the fair value of the asset.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible AssetsWe evaluate the recoverability of goodwill of 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.
Pension and Other Postretirement and Postemployment BenefitsWe sponsor these types of benefit plans for a majority of our employees and retirees. Accounting for the cost of these plans requires the estimation of the cost of the benefits to be provided well into the future and attributing that cost over the expected work life of employees participating in these plans. This estimation requires our judgment about the discount rate used to determine these obligations, expected return on plan assets, rate of future compensation increases, rate of future health care costs, withdrawal and mortality rates and participant retirement age. Differences between our estimates and actual results may significantly affect the cost of our obligations under these plans.
In the valuation of our pension and other postretirement and postemployment benefit liabilities, management utilizes various assumptions. We determine our discount rate based on investment grade bond yield curves with a duration that approximates the benefit payment timing of each plan. This rate can fluctuate based on changes in investment grade bond yields. At June 30, 2009, a hypothetical 25 basis point increase or decrease in our discount rates would increase or decrease, respectively, our pre-tax income by approximately $0.3 million.
The long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated based on an evaluation of historical returns for each asset category held by the plans, coupled with the current and short-term mix of the investment portfolio. The historical returns are adjusted for expected future market and economic changes. This return will fluctuate based on actual market returns and other economic factors.
The rate of future health care cost increases is based on historical claims and enrollment information projected over the next fiscal year and adjusted for administrative charges. This rate is expected to decrease until 2029. At June 30, 2009, a hypothetical 1 percent increase or decrease in our health care cost trend rates would decrease or increase our pre-tax income by $0.1 million.
Future compensation rates, withdrawal rates and participant retirement age are determined based on historical information. These assumptions are not expected to significantly change. Mortality rates are determined based on a review of published mortality tables.
We expect to contribute $7.3 million and $2.3 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively, in 2010.
Allowance for Doubtful AccountsWe record allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We assess the creditworthiness of our customers based on multiple sources of information and analyze additional factors such as our historical bad debt experience, industry and geographic concentrations of credit risk, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms. This assessment requires significant judgment. If the financial condition of our customers was to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required, resulting in future operating losses that are not included in the allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2009.
InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use the last-in, first-out method for determining the cost of a significant portion of our U.S. inventories. The cost of the remainder of our inventories is determined under the first-in, first-out or average cost methods. When market conditions indicate an excess of carrying costs over market value, a lower-of-cost-or-market provision is recorded. Excess and obsolete inventory reserves are established based upon our evaluation of the quantity of inventory on hand relative to demand.
- 23 -
Income TaxesRealization of our deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future taxable income, the timing and amount of which are uncertain in part due to the expected profitability of certain foreign subsidiaries. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is “more likely than not” that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of June 30, 2009, the deferred tax assets net of valuation allowances relate primarily to net operating loss carryforwards, accrued employee benefits and inventory reserves. In the event that we were to determine that we would not be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an increase in the valuation allowance would be required.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDSOn June 30, 2009, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. See Note 24 for additional disclosures.
On June 30, 2009, Kennametal adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on factors to be considered while estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset or liability. This guidance retains the existing “exit price” concept under SFAS 157 and therefore does not change the objective of fair value measurements, even when there has been a significant decrease in market activity. The adoption of FSP 157-4 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) is the single source of authoritative nongovernmental accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for Kennametal as of September 30, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 168 to determine the impact of the Codification on our financial reporting process and for providing Codification references in our public filings.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is effective for Kennametal Inc. beginning July 1, 2010. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 167 to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 166). SFAS 166 requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2010. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 166 to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1 expands the fair value disclosures to interim periods for all financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP also requires entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments as well as significant changes in such methods and assumptions from prior periods. FSP 107-1 is effective for Kennametal as of September 30, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this FSP to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
- 24 -
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (FSP 141(R)-1). This FSP amends the guidance in SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) and establishes a model to account for preacquisition contingencies. Under this FSP, an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value an asset or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, then the acquirer should follow the recognition criteria in SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” and FASB Interpretation No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5,” to determine whether the contingency should be recognized as of the acquisition date or after it. FSP 141(R)-1 is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this FSP to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2009, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161) as it relates to derivatives and hedging activities. SFAS 161 expands the current disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) and provides for an enhanced understanding of (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. See Note 7 for additional disclosures.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (FSP 132(R)-1). FSP 132(R)-1 expands the current disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 132(R), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” FSP 132(R)-1 requires companies to disclose how investment allocation decisions are made by management, major categories of plan assets, significant concentrations of risk within plan assets and information about the valuation of plan assets. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this FSP to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (EITF 08-7). EITF 08-7 applies to all acquired intangible assets in situations in which the entity does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold the asset to prevent others from obtaining access to the asset with limited exceptions. EITF 08-7 requires that defensive intangible assets be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting and be assigned a useful life. EITF 08-7 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this EITF to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations” (EITF 08-6). EITF 08-6 addresses a number of matters associated with the impact that SFAS 141(R) and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160) might have on the accounting for equity method investments. EITF 08-6 provides guidance on how an equity method investment should initially be measured, how it should be tested for impairment and how changes in classification from equity method to cost method should be treated as well as other issues. EITF 08-6 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this EITF to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
On July 1, 2008, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the fair value option) with changes in fair value recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Kennametal records derivative contracts and hedging activities at fair value in accordance with SFAS 133. The adoption of SFAS 159 therefore had no impact on our consolidated financial statements as management did not elect the fair value option for any other financial instruments or certain other assets and liabilities.
On July 1, 2008, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis, until July 1, 2009 for Kennametal. See Note 6 for additional disclosures.
On July 1, 2008, Kennametal adopted EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 requires that tax benefits generated by dividends paid during the vesting period on certain equity-classified share-based compensation awards be classified as additional paid-in capital and included in a pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies from share-based payment awards. The adoption of this EITF did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 becomes effective for Kennametal on July 1, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer accounts for business combinations and includes guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling or minority interest in the acquiree. It also provides guidance for the measurement of goodwill, the recognition of contingent consideration and the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, as well as acquisition-related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 141(R) to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160) which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for any noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements and requires disclosure on the face of the consolidated statement of income of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolled interest. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal as of July 1, 2009, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which, upon adoption, will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 160 to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 7A — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
MARKET RISKWe are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business. As part of our financial risk management program, we use certain derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and therefore hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes. We generally use derivative financial instruments to provide predictability to the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results and to achieve our targeted mix of fixed and floating interest rates on outstanding debt. Our objective in managing foreign exchange exposures with derivative instruments is to reduce volatility in cash flow, allowing us to focus more of our attention on business operations. With respect to interest rate management, these derivative instruments allow us to achieve our targeted fixed-to-floating interest rate mix as a separate decision from funding arrangements in the bank and public debt markets. We measure hedge effectiveness by assessing the changes in the fair value or expected future cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portions are recorded in other income, net. See Notes 2 and 17 in our consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 8.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance of derivative contracts and, in the event of nonperformance, to market risk for changes in interest and currency rates, as well as settlement risk. We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk through credit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of the counterparties.
The following provides additional information on our use of derivative instruments. Included below is a sensitivity analysis that is based upon a hypothetical 10 percent weakening or strengthening in the U.S. dollar compared to the June 30, 2009 foreign currency rates and the effective interest rates under our current borrowing arrangements. We compared the contractual derivative and borrowing arrangements in effect at June 30, 2009 to the hypothetical foreign exchange or interest rates in the sensitivity analysis to determine the effect on interest expense, pre-tax income or accumulated other comprehensive income. Our analysis takes into consideration the different types of derivative instruments and the applicability of hedge accounting.
CASH FLOW HEDGESCurrencyA portion of our operations consists of investments in foreign subsidiaries. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign exchange rates arises from these investments, intercompany loans utilized to finance these subsidiaries, trade receivables and payables and firm commitments arising from international transactions. We manage our foreign exchange transaction risk to reduce the volatility of cash flows caused by currency fluctuations through natural offsets where appropriate and through foreign exchange contracts. These contracts are designated as hedges of transactions that will settle in future periods and otherwise would expose us to foreign currency risk.
- 26 -
Our foreign exchange hedging program minimizes our exposure to foreign exchange rate movements. This exposure arises largely from anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. This program utilizes range forwards and forward contracts primarily to sell foreign currency. The notional amounts of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at June 30, 2009 and 2008 rates were $1.7 million and $126.5 million, respectively. We would have received $0.2 million at June 30, 2009 and paid $0.3 million at June 30, 2008, respectively, to settle these contracts, which represent the fair value of these agreements. At June 30, 2009, a hypothetical 10 percent strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar would change accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, by $0.1 million.
In addition, we may enter into forward contracts to hedge transaction exposures or significant cross-border intercompany loans by either purchasing or selling specified amounts of foreign currency at a specified date. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, we had several outstanding forward contracts to purchase and sell foreign currency, with notional amounts, translated into U.S. dollars at June 30, 2009 and 2008 rates, of $183.2 million and $111.4 million, respectively. At June 30, 2009, a hypothetical 10 percent change in the year-end exchange rates would result in an increase or decrease in pre-tax income of $15.4 million related to these positions.
Interest RateOur exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations. We seek to manage our interest rate risk in order to balance our exposure between fixed and floating rates while attempting to minimize our borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we primarily use interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to interest rate changes related to these borrowings. We had no such agreements in place at June 30, 2009 or June 30, 2008.
FAIR VALUE HEDGESInterest RateAs discussed above, our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations. We seek to manage this risk through the use of interest rate swap agreements. At June 30, 2009, we had no such agreements in place. In February 2009, we terminated interest rate swap agreements that we had in place at that time and at June 30, 2008. These previous agreements were in place to convert a notional amount of $200.0 million of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt.
DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLEAt June 30, 2009 and 2008, we had $486.0 million and $346.7 million, respectively, of debt, including capital leases and notes payable outstanding. Effective interest rates as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 3.9 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively, including the effect of interest rate swaps. A hypothetical change of 10 percent in interest rates from June 30, 2009 levels would increase or decrease annual interest expense by approximately $2.3 million.
On July 6, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing $500.0 million revolving bank credit agreement, which expires on March 21, 2011. The amendment, among other things, retains the current size and maturity of the credit facility while providing additional flexibility with respect to financial covenants. The amendment includes an increase in interest rates on borrowings of approximately 200 basis points.
Also during July, the Company completed the issuance of 8.1 million shares of its common stock generating net proceeds of $120.3 million which were used to pay down outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit facility.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONSForeign currency exchange rate fluctuations have materially increased earnings in 2009, 2008 and 2007. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may have a material impact on future earnings in the short term and long term.

ITEM 8 — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management has conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 using the criteria inInternal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on criteria inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the COSO. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
MANAGEMENT’S CERTIFICATIONS
The certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have been filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this report. Additionally, in October 2008, the Chief Executive Officer filed with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) the annual certification required to be furnished to the NYSE pursuant to Section 303A.12 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The certification confirmed that the Chief Executive Officer was not aware of any violation by the Company of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareowners of Kennametal Inc.:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) at June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 8. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in 2008. As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in 2007.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Kennametal Inc. is a leading global supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence as well as our technological expertise and innovation in our principal products has helped us achieve a leading market presence in our primary markets. End users of our products include metalworking manufacturers and suppliers across a diverse array of industries including the aerospace, automotive, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery industries, as well as manufacturers, producers and suppliers in a number of other industries including coal mining, highway construction, quarrying and oil and gas exploration and production industries. Our end users’ products include items ranging from airframes to coal, medical implants to oil wells and turbochargers to motorcycle parts.
Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a “year” is to a fiscal year ended June 30. When used in this annual report on Form 10-K, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of our significant accounting policies is presented below to assist in evaluating our consolidated financial statements.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATIONThe consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Investments in entities of less than 50 percent of the voting stock over which we have significant influence are accounted for on an equity basis. The factors used to determine significant influence include, but are not limited to, our management involvement in the investee, such as hiring and setting compensation for management of the investee, the ability to make operating and capital decisions of the investee, representation on the investee’s board of directors and purchase and supply agreements with the investee. Investments in entities of less than 50 percent of the voting stock in which we do not have significant influence are accounted for on the cost basis.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTSIn preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in our financial statements. As part of our financial reporting process, our management collaborates to determine the necessary information on which to base our judgments and develop estimates used to prepare the financial statements. We use historical experience and available information to make these judgments and estimates. However, different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and in light of different facts and circumstances. Therefore, actual amounts could differ from the estimates reflected in our financial statements.
CAPITAL STOCK SPLITOn October 23, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one capital stock split in the form of a capital stock dividend, which was distributed after the close of trading on December 18, 2007 to all shareowners of record as of the close of business on December 4, 2007. The stated par value of each share was not changed from $1.25. The related issuance of 41.7 million additional shares resulted in a $52.1 million transfer from additional paid-in-capital to capital stock. All share and per share amounts as well as the balance sheet accounts for capital stock and additional paid-in capital in these consolidated financial statements retroactively reflect the effect of this capital stock split.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSCash investments having original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents principally consist of investments in money market funds and bank deposits at June 30, 2009.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLEWe market our products to a diverse customer base throughout the world. Trade credit is extended based upon periodically updated evaluations of each customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations. We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Accounts receivable reserves are determined based upon an aging of accounts and a review of specific accounts.
INVENTORIESInventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for determining the cost of a significant portion of our United States (U.S.) inventories. The cost of the remainder of our inventories is determined under the first-in, first-out or average cost methods. When market conditions indicate an excess of carrying costs over market value, a lower-of-cost-or-market provision is recorded. Excess and obsolete inventory reserves are established based upon our evaluation of the quantity of inventory on hand relative to demand. The excess and obsolete inventory reserve at June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $61.1 million and $61.5 million, respectively.
- 34 -
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTProperty, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Retirements and disposals are removed from cost and accumulated depreciation accounts, with the gain or loss reflected in operating income. Interest related to the construction of major facilities is capitalized as part of the construction costs and is amortized over the facilities estimated useful life.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: building and improvements over 15-40 years; machinery and equipment over 4-15 years; furniture and fixtures over 5-10 years and computer hardware and software over 3-5 years.
Leased property and equipment under capital leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases.
LONG-LIVED ASSETSWe evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are amortized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of any such assets may not be fully recoverable. Changes in circumstances include technological advances, changes in our business model, capital structure, economic conditions or operating performance. Our evaluation is based upon, among other things, our assumptions about the estimated future undiscounted cash flows these assets are expected to generate. When the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, we will recognize an impairment loss to the extent that carrying value exceeds fair value. We apply our best judgment when performing these evaluations to determine if a triggering event has occurred, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess recoverability and the fair value of the asset.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETSGoodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. We perform our annual impairment tests during the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process unless there are impairment indicators that warrant a test prior to that.
The carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each segment at June 30 is as follows:

|
During 2009, we acquired Tricon which generated additional AMSG goodwill of $21.5 million. Within MSSG, we made a small acquisition in 2009 which resulted in additional MSSG goodwill of $1.9 million. Also during 2009, we divested HSS which resulted in a reduction to MSSG goodwill of $5.8 million.
In the process of preparing our interim financial statements for the March 2009 quarter, we determined that the magnitude and duration of the economic downturn, as well as other factors, served as a triggering event for an impairment test of our surface finishing machines and services business as well as our engineered products business. These businesses are both part of our AMSG segment. As a result of our test, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $100.2 million. Of this amount, $37.3 million related to our surface finishing machines and services business and $62.9 million related to our engineered products business. No goodwill remains on the books for our surface finishing machines and services business.
During 2008, we completed purchase price allocations for two 2008 acquisitions resulting in additional MSSG goodwill of $1.1 million. We also completed the divestitures of two MSSG non-core businesses that resulted in a reduction in MSSG goodwill of $5.5 million.
We also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $35.0 million during 2008 for our surface finishing machines and services business. The change was recorded as a result of a revised earnings forecast for the business due to a decline in operating performance and market weakness.
- 35 -
During 2008, we completed purchase price allocations for three 2007 acquisitions resulting in a $9.6 million reduction in MSSG goodwill and a $6.2 million increase in AMSG goodwill. In 2008, we released a deferred tax valuation allowance of $2.5 million, which was established as a result of the acquisition of the Widia Group in 2003, and recognized a corresponding reduction in MSSG goodwill.
The components of our intangible assets were as follows as of June 30:

|
As a result of the 2009 business acquisitions referred to above, we recorded $11.8 million of identifiable intangible assets: Contract-based increased $0.2 million, Customer-related increased $6.3 million, Trademarks increased $5.1 million and Technology-based and other increased $0.2 million. As a result of the impairment test performed in 2009, we also recorded a $10.8 million impairment charge for the indefinite-lived trademark for our surface finishing machines and services business. Also during 2009, foreign currency effects contributed to a decrease of $7.7 million in net intangible assets and we recorded $13.1 million in amortization expense.
In 2008, we completed purchase price allocations for three 2007 acquisitions and two 2008 acquisitions. As a result, Technology-based and other decreased $10.6 million, Customer-related increased $9.2 million, Contract-based decreased $1.2 million and Trademarks decreased $1.1 million. The 2008 divestiture of two non-core businesses resulted in a $1.5 million reduction in Customer-related intangible assets. Also during 2008, foreign currency effects contributed to an increase of $10.1 million in net intangible assets and we recorded $13.9 million in amortization expense.
We continue to review our marketing strategies related to all of our brands. During 2007, we completed our strategic analysis and plan for our Widia brand. As a key element of our channel and brand strategy, we decided to leverage the strength of this brand to accelerate growth in the distribution market. Since demand in the distribution market is mostly for standard products and to further our relationship with our Widia distributors, we furthermore decided to migrate direct sales of Widia custom solutions products to the Kennametal brand. As a result and in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we recorded a $6.0 million asset impairment charge related to our MSSG Widia trademark.
Amortization expense for intangible assets was $13.1 million, $13.9 million and $9.9 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for 2010 through 2014 is $12.8 million, $11.7 million, $11.0 million, $10.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively.
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSWe sponsor these types of benefit plans for a majority of our employees and retirees. Accounting for the cost of these plans requires the estimation of the cost of the benefits to be provided well into the future and attributing that cost over the expected work life of employees participating in these plans. This estimation requires our judgment about the discount rate used to determine these obligations, expected return on plan assets, rate of future compensation increases, rate of future health care costs, withdrawal and mortality rates and participant retirement age. Differences between our estimates and actual results may significantly affect the cost of our obligations under these plans.
In the valuation of our pension and other postretirement and postemployment benefit liabilities, management utilizes various assumptions. We determine our discount rate based on investment grade bond yield curves with a duration that approximates the benefit payment timing of each plan. This rate can fluctuate based on changes in investment grade bond yields.
The long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated based on an evaluation of historical returns for each asset category held by the plans, coupled with the current and short-term mix of the investment portfolio. The historical returns are adjusted for expected future market and economic changes. This return will fluctuate based on actual market returns and other economic factors.
The rate of future health care costs is based on historical claims and enrollment information projected over the next year and adjusted for administrative charges. This rate is expected to decrease until 2029.
- 36 -
Future compensation rates, withdrawal rates and participant retirement age are determined based on historical information. These assumptions are not expected to significantly change. Mortality rates are determined based on a review of published mortality tables.
DEFERRED FINANCING FEESFees incurred in connection with new borrowings are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related obligation.
EARNINGS PER SHAREBasic 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 occurs related to issuance of capital stock under stock option grants and restricted stock awards. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options and restricted stock awards.
For 2009, the effect of unexercised capital stock options and restricted stock awards was anti-dilutive 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 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options and restricted stock awards by 1.4 million shares and 1.8 million shares, respectively. Unexercised capital stock options of 2.6 million, 0.5 million and 0.5 million shares at June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, 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 their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. See disclosure of our 2008 capital stock split within this note.
REVENUE RECOGNITIONWe recognize revenue upon shipment of our products and assembled machines. Our general conditions of sale explicitly state that the delivery of our products and assembled machines is F.O.B. shipping point and that title and all risks of loss and damage pass to the buyer upon delivery of the sold products or assembled machines to the common carrier.
Our general conditions of sale explicitly state that acceptance of the conditions of shipment are considered to have occurred unless written notice of objection is received by Kennametal within 10 calendar days of the date specified on the invoice. We do not ship products or assembled machines unless we have documentation from our customers authorizing shipment. Our products are consumed by our customers in the manufacture of their products. Historically, we have experienced very low levels of returned products and assembled machines and do not consider the effect of returned products and assembled machines to be material. We have recorded an estimated returned goods allowance to provide for any potential returns.
We warrant that products and services sold are free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service when correctly installed, used and maintained. This warranty terminates 30 days after delivery of the product to the customer, and does not apply to products that have been subjected to misuse, abuse, neglect or improper storage, handling or maintenance. Products may be returned to Kennametal, only after inspection and approval by Kennametal and upon receipt by the customer of shipping instructions from Kennametal. We have included an estimated allowance for warranty returns in our returned goods allowance discussed above.
We recognize revenue related to the sale of specialized assembled machines upon customer acceptance and installation, as installation is deemed essential to the functionality of a specialized assembled machine. Sales of specialized assembled machines were immaterial for 2009, 2008 and 2007.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONWe recognize stock-based compensation expense for all stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units over the period from the date of grant to the date when the award is no longer contingent on the employee providing additional service (substantive vesting period). We continue to follow the nominal vesting period approach for unvested awards granted prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (revised 2004)” (SFAS 123(R)) on July 1, 2005. We utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method to establish the fair value of all awards.
Capital stock options are granted to eligible employees at fair market value at the date of grant. Capital stock options are exercisable under specified conditions for up to 10 years from the date of grant. The aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the Kennametal Inc. Stock and Incentive Plan of 2002, as amended (2002 Plan) is 9,000,000. See disclosure of our 2008 capital stock split within this note. Under the provisions of the 2002 Plan, participants may deliver our stock, owned by the holder for at least six months, in payment of the option price and receive credit for the fair market value of the shares on the date of delivery. The fair value of shares delivered during 2009 was $0.7 million. In addition to stock option grants, the 2002 Plan permits the award of restricted stock to directors, officers and key employees.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTSResearch and development costs of $27.6 million, $32.6 million and $28.8 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were expensed as incurred. These costs are included in operating expense in the consolidated statements of income.
- 37 -
SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTSAll fees billed to customers for shipping and handling are classified as a component of net sales. All costs associated with shipping and handling are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.
INCOME TAXESDeferred income taxes are recognized based on the future income tax effects (using enacted tax laws and rates) of differences in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is “more likely than not” that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIESAs part of our financial risk management program, we use certain derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and therefore hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes. We use derivative financial instruments to provide predictability to the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results and to achieve our targeted mix of fixed and floating interest rates on outstanding debt. Our objective in managing foreign exchange exposures with derivative instruments is to reduce volatility in cash flow, allowing us to focus more of our attention on business operations. With respect to interest rate management, these derivative instruments allow us to achieve our targeted
fixed-to-floating interest rate mix as a separate decision from funding arrangements in the bank and public debt markets.
We account for derivative instruments as a hedge of the related asset, liability, firm commitment or anticipated transaction when the derivative is specifically designated as a hedge of such items. We measure hedge effectiveness by assessing the changes in the fair value or expected future cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portions are recorded in other income, net.
Certain currency forward contracts hedging significant cross-border intercompany loans are considered other derivatives and therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting. These contracts are recorded at fair value in the balance sheet, with the offset to other income, net.
CASH FLOW HEDGESCurrencyForward contracts and range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold), designated as cash flow hedges, hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts at maturity are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and are recognized as a component of other income, net when the underlying sale of products or services are recognized into earnings. The notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at June 30, 2009 and 2008, were $1.7 million and $126.5 million, respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forwards is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at June 30, 2009, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months gains on outstanding derivatives of $1.2 million.
Floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes on a portion of our floating rate debt. These interest rate swap agreements convert a portion of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. We record the fair value of these contracts as an asset or a liability, as applicable, in the balance sheet, with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. We had no such agreements outstanding at June 30, 2009 and 2008.
FAIR VALUE HEDGESFixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements, designated as fair value hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to fair value fluctuations on a portion of our fixed rate debt. These interest rate swap agreements convert a portion of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. When in place, these agreements require periodic settlement and the difference between amounts to be received and paid under the agreements is recognized in interest expense. As of June 30, 2009, there were no gains or losses related to these contracts. As of June 30, 2008, we recorded a gain of $0.7 million related to these contracts. We record the gain or loss on these contracts as an asset or a liability, as applicable, in the balance sheet, with the offset to the carrying value of the debt. Any gain or loss resulting from changes in the fair value of these contracts offset the corresponding gains or losses from changes in the fair values of the debt. As a result, changes in the fair value of these contracts have no net impact on current period earnings.
In February 2009, we terminated interest rate swap agreements to convert $200 million of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. These agreements were originally set to mature in June 2012. Upon termination, we received a cash payment of $13.2 million. Within the consolidated statement of cash flow for the year ended June 30, 2009, $12.6 million forward portion of the payment has been disclosed under cash flow used for financing activities and the $0.6 million current interest portion has been disclosed under cash flow provided by operating activities. This gain is being amortized as a component of interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. During the year ended June 30, 2009, $3.2 million was recognized as a reduction in interest expense.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONAssets and liabilities of international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates throughout the year. The resulting net translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The local currency is the functional currency of most of our locations. Gains from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $6.8 million for 2009, and losses from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $6.4 million and $1.7 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDSOn June 30, 2009, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. See Note 24 for additional disclosures.
On June 30, 2009, Kennametal adopted FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on factors to be considered while estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset or liability. This guidance retains the existing “exit price” concept under SFAS 157 and therefore does not change the objective of fair value measurements, even when there has been a significant decrease in market activity. The adoption of FSP 157-4 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) is the single source of authoritative nongovernmental accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for Kennametal as of September 30, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 168 to determine the impact of the Codification on our financial reporting process and for providing Codification references in our public filings.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is effective for Kennametal Inc. beginning July 1, 2010. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 167 to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 166). SFAS 166 requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2010. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 166 to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”
(FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1 expands the fair value disclosures to interim periods for all financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP also requires entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments as well as significant changes in such methods and assumptions from prior periods. FSP 107-1 is effective for Kennametal as of September 30, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this FSP to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
- 39 -
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (FSP 141(R)-1). This FSP amends the guidance in SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) and establishes a model to account for preacquisition contingencies. Under this FSP, an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value an asset or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, then the acquirer should follow the recognition criteria in SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” and FASB Interpretation No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5,” to determine whether the contingency should be recognized as of the acquisition date or after it. FSP 141(R)-1 is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this FSP to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2009, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161) as it relates to derivatives and hedging activities. SFAS 161 expands the current disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) and provides for an enhanced understanding of (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. See Note 7 for additional disclosures.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (FSP 132(R)-1). FSP 132(R)-1 expands the current disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 132(R), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” FSP 132(R)-1 requires companies to disclose how investment allocation decisions are made by management, major categories of plan assets, significant concentrations of risk within plan assets and information about the valuation of plan assets. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this FSP to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (EITF 08-7). EITF 08-7 applies to all acquired intangible assets in situations in which the entity does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold the asset to prevent others from obtaining access to the asset with limited exceptions. EITF 08-7 requires that defensive intangible assets be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting and be assigned a useful life. EITF 08-7 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this EITF to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations” (EITF 08-6). EITF 08-6 addresses a number of matters associated with the impact that SFAS 141(R) and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160) might have on the accounting for equity method investments. EITF 08-6 provides guidance on how an equity method investment should initially be measured, how it should be tested for impairment and how changes in classification from equity method to cost method should be treated as well as other issues. EITF 08-6 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this EITF to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
On July 1, 2008, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the fair value option) with changes in fair value recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Kennametal records derivative contracts and hedging activities at fair value in accordance with SFAS 133. The adoption of SFAS 159 therefore had no impact on our consolidated financial statements as management did not elect the fair value option for any other financial instruments or certain other assets and liabilities.
On July 1, 2008, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis, until July 1, 2009 for Kennametal. See Note 6 for additional disclosures.
On July 1, 2008, Kennametal adopted EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 requires that tax benefits generated by dividends paid during the vesting period on certain equity-classified share-based compensation awards be classified as additional paid-in capital and included in a pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies from share-based payment awards. The adoption of this EITF did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
- 40 -
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 becomes effective for Kennametal on July 1, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer accounts for business combinations and includes guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling or minority interest in the acquiree. It also provides guidance for the measurement of goodwill, the recognition of contingent consideration and the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, as well as acquisition-related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 141(R) to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160) which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for any noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements and requires disclosure on the face of the consolidated statement of income of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolled interest. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal as of July 1, 2009, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which, upon adoption, will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 160 to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 — ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Effective October 1, 2008, we acquired Tricon for a net purchase price of $64.1 million. As part of our AMSG segment, we acquired Tricon to expand our products and solutions in the surface and underground mining markets, including hard rock and coal. During 2009, we also made a small acquisition within our MSSG segment. Also during 2009, we made final payments for two small MSSG acquisitions that we made in Europe during 2008.
During 2008, we did not complete any material acquisitions or divestitures. However, we made two small acquisitions in Europe, both within our MSSG segment. Also during 2008, we divested two small, non-core businesses from our MSSG segment, one in the U.S. and one in Europe. Combined cash proceeds received were $20.2 million and we recognized a combined loss on divestiture of $0.6 million.
During 2007, we made five acquisitions. Three of these acquisitions were within our AMSG segment and two were within our MSSG segment.
Also during 2007, we received the remaining cash proceeds of $9.7 million from our 2006 divestiture of J&L Industrial Supply and recorded a pre-tax loss of $1.6 million for a related post-closing adjustment.

NOTE 5 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective June 30, 2009, we divested HSS from our MSSG segment as part of our continuing focus to shape our business portfolio and rationalize our manufacturing footprint. This divestiture was accounted for as discontinued operations. The net assets disposed of as a result of this transaction had a net book value of approximately $51 million and consisted primarily of inventory and equipment, as well as owned and leased facilities, Cash proceeds from this divestiture were $29 million, of which $2 million was received prior to closing and $24 million was received in July 2009. We expect to receive the remaining $3 million in proceeds in the December 2009 quarter. For 2009, this divested business generated sales of $81 million and essentially breakeven results. The pre-tax loss on this sale and related pre-tax charges of $25.5 million as well as the related tax effects, were recorded in discontinued operations in 2009. We expect to incur additional pre-tax charges related to this divestiture of $4.0 million to $7.0 million in 2010.
During 2007, we completed the divestiture of our electronics (Electronics) and consumer retail products (CPG) businesses. These divestitures were recorded as discontinued operations. During 2008 and 2007, we received cash proceeds related to the CPG divestiture of $3.0 million and $26.5 million, respectively. During 2007, we recorded a combined pre-tax charge related to these divestitures of $3.9 million.

NOTE 6 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures related to fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. We are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 157, as it relates to pension plan assets, nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, on our consolidated financial statements.
SFAS 157 defines fair value 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. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.” SFAS 157 established a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Fair value measurements are assigned a level within the hierarchy based on the lowest significant input level. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described 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.

NOTE 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 use derivative financial instruments to provide predictability to the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results and to achieve our targeted mix of fixed and floating interest rates on outstanding debt. We account for derivative instruments as a hedge of the related asset, liability, firm commitment or anticipated transaction when the derivative is specifically designated as a hedge of such items. Our objective in managing foreign exchange exposures with derivative instruments is to reduce volatility in cash flow, allowing us to focus more of our attention on business operations. With respect to interest rate management, these derivative instruments allow us to achieve our targeted fixed-to-floating interest rate mix as a separate decision from funding arrangements in the bank and public debt markets. We measure hedge effectiveness by assessing the changes in the fair value or expected future cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portions are recorded in other income, net.
The fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30 are as follows:

FAIR VALUE HEDGES
Fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements, designated as fair value hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to fair value fluctuations on a portion of our fixed rate debt. These interest rate swap agreements convert a portion of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. These contracts require periodic settlement and the difference between amounts to be received and paid under the interest rate swap agreements is recognized in interest expense. As of June 30, 2009, there were no gains or losses related to these contracts. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded a gain of $0.7 million and a loss of $10.8 million, respectively related to these contracts. We record the gain or loss on these contracts as an asset or a liability, as applicable, in the balance sheet, with the offset to the carrying value of the debt. Any gain or loss resulting from changes in the fair value of these contracts offset the corresponding gains or losses from changes in the fair values of the debt. As a result, changes in the fair value of these contracts have no net impact on current period earnings.
In February 2009, we terminated interest rate swap agreements to convert $200 million of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. These agreements were originally set to mature in June 2012. Upon termination, we received a cash payment of $13.2 million. Within the consolidated statement of cash flow for the year ended June 30, 2009, $12.6 million forward portion of the payment has been disclosed under cash flow used for financing activities and the $0.6 million current interest portion has been disclosed under cash flow provided by operating activities. This gain is being amortized as a component of interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. During the year ended June 30, 2009, $3.2 million was recognized as a reduction in interest expense.

CASH FLOW HEDGES
Currency forward contracts and range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold), designated as cash flow hedges, hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts at maturity are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and are recognized as a component of other income, net when the underlying sale of products or services are recognized into earnings. The notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at June 30, 2009 and 2008,were $1.7 million and $126.5 million, respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forwards is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at June 30, 2009, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months gains on outstanding derivatives of $1.2 million.
Floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes on a portion of our floating rate debt. These interest rate swap agreements convert a portion of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. We record the fair value of these contracts as an asset or a liability, as applicable, in the balance sheet, with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. We had no such agreements outstanding at June 30, 2009 and 2008.
The following represents gains (losses) related to cash flow hedges for the years ended June 30:
| | | | | | | | |

No portion of the gains (losses) recognized in earnings were due to ineffectiveness and no amounts were excluded from our effectiveness testing for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
NOTE 8 — ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION PROGRAM
We previously had an agreement with a financial institution whereby we were permitted to securitize, on a continuous basis, an undivided interest in a specific pool of our domestic trade accounts receivable. Pursuant to this agreement, we, and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, sold our domestic accounts receivable to Kennametal Receivables Corporation, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. This agreement was discontinued in 2008.

Senior Unsecured NotesOn June 19, 2002, we issued $300 million of 7.2 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012 (Senior Unsecured Notes). These notes were issued at 99.629 percent of the face amount and yielded $294.3 million of net proceeds after related financing fees. The proceeds of this debt issuance were utilized to repay senior bank indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Senior Unsecured Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to create liens, enter into sale-leaseback transactions or certain consolidations or mergers, or sell all or substantially all of our assets. Prior to February 2009, we had interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $200 million and a maturity date of June 2012. During the period when these agreements were in effect, we recorded the gain or loss on these agreements as an asset or a liability, as applicable, with the offset to the carrying value of the debt. In February 2009, we terminated these agreements. Upon termination, we received a cash payment of $13.2 million. The gain is being amortized as a component of interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. As of June 30, 2008, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was an asset of $0.7 million.
2006 Credit AgreementIn March 2006, we entered into a five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility with a group of financial institutions (2006 Credit Agreement). The 2006 Credit Agreement permits revolving credit loans of up to $500.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The 2006 Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euros, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the 2006 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 0.5 percent or (3) fixed as negotiated by us.
The 2006 Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of June 30, 2009. Borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2009 were $133.4 million that were used in part to finance the repurchase of $127.7 million in capital stock during the year ended June 30, 2009.
Borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.
On July 6, 2009, we entered into an amendment to our 2006 Credit Agreement. The amendment provides for the exclusion of certain cash restructuring charges from the earnings component used in the calculation of the leverage and interest ratios. In addition, the amendment provides for an increase in the permitted leverage ratio for certain quarterly measurement dates. The amendment also provides restrictions on share repurchases and securitizations, as well as future acquisitions and capital leases should leverage ratios exceed the permitted ratio that prevailed prior to the amendment. Furthermore, the amendment would require security interest in our domestic accounts receivable and inventories should our leverage ratio exceed a certain threshold. The amendment includes an increase in interest rates on borrowings of approximately 200 basis points.
Future principal maturities of long-term debt are $0.2 million, $152.0 million, $317.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in 2010 through 2013.
Future minimum lease payments under capital leases for the next five years and thereafter in total are as follows:

NOTE 12 — NOTES PAYABLE AND LINES OF CREDIT
Notes payable to banks of $28.2 million and $32.8 million at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, represent short-term borrowings under credit lines with commercial banks. These credit lines, translated into U.S. dollars at June 30, 2009 exchange rates, totaled $187.7 million at June 30, 2009, of which $159.5 million was unused. The weighted average interest rate for notes payable and lines of credit was 3.3 percent and 4.8 percent at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

During 2009, we recorded goodwill impairment charges related to our surface finishing machines and services business and our engineered products business for the majority of which there was no tax benefit. The federal effect of these permanent differences is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “Impact of goodwill impairment charges.”
During 2009, the Internal Revenue Service completed its examination of our 2005 and 2006 tax years, which resulted in a net tax benefit of $1.8 million, including the impact of state taxes and interest. The federal effect of this benefit is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “Change in valuation allowance and other uncertain tax positions.”
During 2009, we recorded a valuation allowance adjustment of $2.8 million, which reduced income tax expense. This valuation allowance adjustment reflects a change in circumstances that caused a change in judgment about the realizability of certain deferred tax assets in Europe. The effect of this tax benefit is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “Change in valuation allowance and other uncertain tax positions.”
During 2008, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge related to our surface finishing machines and services business for which there was no tax benefit. The federal effect of this permanent difference is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “Impact of goodwill impairment charges.”

During 2008, the German government enacted a tax reform bill that included a reduction of its corporate income tax rate. As a result, we adjusted the balance of our net deferred tax assets in Germany for the effect of this change in tax rate, which increased deferred tax expense by $6.6 million. The effect of this tax expense is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “Combined tax effects of international income.”
During 2008, we concluded that a change in our determination with respect to cumulative undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries and affiliates was warranted whereby we believe unremitted previously taxed income of our international subsidiaries is not permanently reinvested. As a result of this change, we accrued an income tax liability of $3.0 million. Of this amount, $2.1 million decreased accumulated other comprehensive income and $0.9 million increased tax expense. The effect of this tax expense is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “Combined tax effects of international income.”
During 2007, we recorded a tax charge of $8.1 million related to tax contingencies in Europe. The effect of this tax expense is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “Change in valuation allowance and other uncertain tax positions.”
During 2007, we recorded a valuation allowance adjustment of $2.7 million, which reduced income tax expense. This valuation allowance adjustment reflects a change in circumstances that caused a change in judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes. The effect of this tax benefit is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “Change in valuation allowance and other uncertain tax positions.”
The components of net deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows at June 30:

Included in deferred tax assets at June 30, 2009 were unrealized tax benefits totaling $68.8 million related to net operating loss carryforwards for foreign and state income tax purposes. Of that amount, $9.4 million expire through June 2014, $7.1 million expire through 2019, $3.4 million expire through 2024, $7.6 million expire through 2029, and the remaining $41.3 million do not expire. The realization of these tax benefits is primarily dependent on future taxable income in these jurisdictions.
A valuation allowance of $48.2 million has been placed against deferred tax assets in Europe, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, Brazil and the U.S., which would be allocated to income tax expense upon realization of these tax benefits. In 2009, the valuation allowance related to these deferred tax assets increased $1.6 million.
As the respective operations generate sufficient income, the valuation allowances will be partially or fully reversed at such time we believe it will be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
As of June 30, 2009, the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates that have not been previously taxed in the U.S. are permanently reinvested, and accordingly, no deferred tax liability has been recorded in connection therewith. It is not practical to estimate the income tax effect that might be incurred if earnings not previously taxed in the U.S. were remitted to the United States.

Effective July 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48).
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest) is as follows as of June 30:

|
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate in 2009 and 2008 is $15.2 million and $21.3 million, respectively.
Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of income. During 2009, we recognized an interest reduction of $0.8 million, and in 2008, we accrued $1.4 million of interest. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the amount of interest accrued was $1.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively.
With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2002. The Internal Revenue Service has audited all U.S. tax years prior to 2007 and has begun its examination of 2007 and 2008. Various state and foreign jurisdiction tax authorities are in the process of examining our income tax returns for various tax years ranging from 2002 to 2007. We continue to execute and expand our pan-European business model. As a result of this and other matters, we continuously review our uncertain tax positions and evaluate any potential issues that may lead to an increase or decrease in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded. We believe that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $10.0 million to $11.0 million within the next twelve months as a result of the progression of various federal, state and foreign audits in process.
NOTE 14 — PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
We sponsor several pension plans. Effective January 1, 2004, no new non-union employees are eligible to participate in our U.S. Retirement Income Plan (RIP Plan). Benefits under the RIP Plan continue to accrue only for certain employees. Pension benefits under defined benefit pension plans are based on years of service and, for certain plans, on average compensation immediately preceding retirement. We fund pension costs in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, for U.S. plans and in accordance with local regulations or customs for non-U.S. plans.
Additionally, we maintain a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and a 2006 Executive Retirement Plan (ERP) for various executives. The liability associated with these plans is also included in the pension disclosures below. On July 26, 2006, the SERP was amended and the ERP was established. Participants in the SERP who reached the age of 56 by December 31, 2006 are “grandfathered” under the SERP and will continue to accrue benefits in accordance with the provisions of the SERP. These SERP “grandfathered” participants are not eligible to participate in the ERP. Participants in the SERP who did not reach the age of 56 by December 31, 2006 were eligible to either retain their accrued benefits under the SERP, frozen as of July 31, 2006, or participate in the ERP with respect to future as well as prior service. The SERP is closed to new participants. Eligible officers hired after July 31, 2006 may participate in the ERP, regardless of age. Neither the amendment to the SERP nor the establishment of the ERP had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We presently provide varying levels of postretirement health care and life insurance benefits (OPEB) to most U.S. employees. Postretirement health care benefits are available to employees and their spouses retiring on or after age 55 with 10 or more years of service. Beginning with retirements on or after January 1, 1998, our portion of the costs of postretirement health care benefits is capped at 1996 levels. Beginning with retirements on or after January 1, 2009, we have no obligation to provide a company subsidy for retiree medical costs.
In 2008, the Company approved the conversion of a U.K.-based defined benefit pension plan to a defined contribution plan. This conversion resulted in a curtailment loss for pension cost of $1.7 million for 2008 which was recognized in operating expense. In 2009, we recognized a curtailment gain for OPEB of $3.2 million resulting from a plant closure of which $1.9 million was recorded in cost of goods sold and $1.3 million was recognized in operating expense. In 2008, we recognized a curtailment loss for pension cost of $0.4 million related to this same plant closure of which $0.2 million was recognized in cost of goods sold and $0.2 million was recognized in operating expense.
- 49 -
In 2009, special one time termination benefits of $2.7 million were recognized in the U.S. based defined benefit pension plan due to an amendment of the plan for supplemental retirement benefits.
We use a June 30 measurement date for all of our plans.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, the asset portfolios of our defined benefit pension plans do not contain our capital stock. We do not issue insurance contracts to cover future annual benefits of defined benefit pension plan participants. Transactions between us and our defined benefit pension plans include the reimbursement of plan expenditures incurred by us on behalf of the plans. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the reimbursement of cost is permissible under current ERISA rules or local government law.
The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $670.1 million and $646.4 million as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

|
Net periodic pension cost increased $1.8 million to $6.9 million in 2009 from $5.1 million in 2008. This increase was primarily the result of pension asset losses, demographic losses and recognition of special termination charges.
Net periodic pension cost decreased $3.6 million to $5.1 million in 2008 from $8.7 million in 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of an increase in plan assets and increases in discount rates used to determine our net periodic pension cost for our international plans partially offset by the impact of the curtailment charges previously discussed. See disclosure of discount rate assumptions within this note.
As of June 30, 2009, the projected benefit payments including future service accruals for these plans for 2010 through 2014 is $37.4 million, $37.4 million, $39.2 million, $41.6 million and $43.3 million, respectively and $249.7 million in 2015 through 2019.
The amounts of accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during 2010 related to net actuarial losses and transition obligations are $4.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The amount of accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during 2010 related to prior service credit is $0.3 million.
Our defined benefit pension plans’ asset allocations as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and target allocations for 2010, by asset class, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | Target % | |
|
Equity | | | 36 | % | | | 44 | % | | | 33-34 | % |
Fixed Income | | | 60 | % | | | 54 | % | | | 66-67 | % |
Other | | | 4 | % | | | 2 | % | | | 0 | % |
|
The primary objective of the pension plans’ investment policies is to ensure that sufficient assets are available to provide the benefit obligations at the time the obligations come due. Investment management practices must comply with ERISA and all applicable regulations and rulings thereof.
- 51 -
The overall investment strategy for the defined benefit pension plans’ assets combines considerations of preservation of principal and moderate risk-taking. The assumption of an acceptable level of risk is warranted in order to achieve satisfactory results consistent with the long-term objectives of the portfolio. Fixed income securities comprise a significant portion of the portfolio due to their plan-liability-matching characteristics and to address the plans’ cash flow requirements. Additionally, diversification of investments within each asset class is utilized to further reduce the impact of losses in single investments.
During 2008, the Company adjusted its overall investment strategy for the assets of its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. In order to reduce the volatility of the funded status of these plans and to meet the obligations at an acceptable cost over the long term, the Company implemented a liability driven investment (LDI) strategy. This LDI strategy entails modifying the asset allocation and duration of the assets of the plans to more closely match the liability profile of these plans. The asset reallocation involves increasing the fixed income allocation, reducing the equity component and adding alternative investments. Longer duration interest rate swaps have been added in order to increase the overall duration of the asset portfolio to more closely match the liabilities.
We expect to contribute $7.3 million to our pension plans in 2010.

As of June 30, 2009, the projected benefit payments, including future service accruals for our other postretirement benefit plans for 2010 through 2014, is $2.5 million, $2.5 million, $2.4 million, $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively and $9.4 million in 2015 through 2019.
The amounts of accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic other postretirement benefit cost during 2010 related to net actuarial gains are immaterial for prior service cost.
We expect to contribute $2.3 million to our postretirement benefit plans in 2010.
Assumptions
The significant actuarial assumptions used to determine the present value of net benefit obligations for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
|
Discount Rate: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
U.S. plans | | | 6.5 | % | | | 6.8 | % | | | 6.3 | % |
International plans | | | 5.8-7.0 | % | | | 6.3 -6.8 | % | | | 5.3 -5.8 | % |

U.S. plans | | | 3.0 -5.0 | % | | | 3.0 -5.0 | % | | | 3.0 -5.0 | % |
International plans | | | 3.5 | % | | | 3.5 -4.0 | % | | | 3.5 -4.5 | % |
|
The significant assumptions used to determine the net periodic costs (benefits) for our pension and other postretirement benefit plans were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
|
Discount Rate: | | | | | | | | | | | | |

U.S. plans | | | 3.0 -5.0 | % | | | 3.0 -5.0 | % | | | 3.0 -5.0 | % |
International plans | | | 3.5-4.0 | % | | | 3.5 -4.5 | % | | | 3.5 -4.3 | % |
Rate of return on plans assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
U.S. plans | | | 8.0 | % | | | 8.3 | % | | | 8.3 | % |
International plans | | | 7.1 | % | | | 7.5 | % | | | 7.1 | % |
|
The rates of return on plan assets are based on historical performance as well as future expected returns by asset class considering macroeconomic conditions, current portfolio mix, long-term investment strategy and other available relevant information.
The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (the health care cost trend rate) for our postretirement benefit plans was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
|
Health care costs trend rate assumed for next year | | | 8.8 | % | | | 8.7 | % | | | 9.5 | % |
Rate to which the cost trend rate gradually declines | | | 4.5 | % | | | 5.0 | % | | | 5.0 | % |
Year that the rate reaches the rate at which it is assumed to remain | | | 2029 | | | | 2014 | | | | 2014 | |
|
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the cost components and obligation for the health care plans. A change of one percentage point in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects on the total service and interest cost components of our other postretirement cost and other postretirement benefit obligation at June 30, 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | | 1% Increase | | | 1% Decrease | |

Effect on total service and interest cost components | | $ | 129 | | | $ | (111 | ) |
Effect on other postretirement obligation | | | 917 | | | | (818 | ) |

Defined Contribution Plans
We also sponsor several defined contribution retirement plans. Costs for defined contribution plans were $20.3 million, $27.5 million and $26.0 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Effective March 2009, the company temporarily suspended the making of matching contributions to its U.S. defined contribution plans.
Effective March 2009, as well as for a portion of 2007, company contributions to U.S. defined contribution plans were made primarily in our capital stock. During other periods with in 2007 through 2009, employer contributions were invested in the same investment fund elections that the employee elected for their contributions. The issuance of capital stock for company contributions in 2009 was 82,736 shares with a market value of $1.5 million. Issuance of capital stock for this purpose in 2007 was 191,890 shares with a market value of $5.6 million.

NOTE 16 — RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
RestructuringDuring 2009, we continued to implement restructuring plans to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies. These actions relate to the rationalization of certain manufacturing and service facilities as well as other employment and cost reduction programs. Restructuring and related charges recorded in 2009 amounted to $73.3 million, including $64.7 million of restructuring charges of which $2.1 million were related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring related charges of $8.8 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and a net restructuring related benefit of $0.2 million was recorded in operating expense during 2009.
Total restructuring and related charges since the inception of the restructuring plans through June 30, 2009 were $81.5 million. Including these charges, we expect to recognize approximately $115 million of pre-tax charges related to our restructuring plans. The majority of the remaining charges are expected to be incurred by December 31, 2009, most of which are expected to be cash expenditures. We realized pre-tax benefits of approximately $50 million from these actions in fiscal 2009 and expect to realize approximately $75 million of additional pre-tax benefits in fiscal 2010. This would bring the annual ongoing pre-tax benefits from these actions to approximately $125 million.
The restructuring accrual is recorded in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet and the amount attributable to each segment is as follows:

NOTE 17 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The methods used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments are as follows:
Cash and Equivalents, Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable to BanksThe carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.
Long-Term DebtFixed rate debt had a fair market value of $314.1 million and $315.9 million at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of June 30.
- 55 -
Foreign Exchange ContractsThe notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts, translated at current exchange rates, was $1.7 million and $126.5 million at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We would have received $0.2 million at June 30, 2009, and paid $0.3 million at June 30, 2008, respectively, to settle these contracts, representing the fair value of these agreements. The carrying value equaled the fair value for these contracts at June 30, 2009 and 2008. Fair value was estimated based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Interest Rate Swap AgreementsWe terminated our interest rate swap agreements in February 2009 and received cash of $13.2 million. As of June 30, 2008, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was an asset of $0.7 million. The carrying value equaled the fair value for the interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2008. Fair value was estimated based on the mark-to-market value of the contracts, which closely approximates the amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the balance sheet date.
Concentrations of Credit RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. By policy, we make temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions and limit the amount of exposure to any one financial institution. With respect to trade receivables, concentrations of credit risk are significantly reduced because we serve numerous customers in many industries and geographic areas.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance of derivatives and, in the unlikely event of nonperformance, to market risk for changes in interest and currency rates, as well as settlement risk. We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk through credit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of the counterparties. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, we had no significant concentrations of credit risk.

During 2009, 2008 and 2007, compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $4.5 million, $4.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock was $6.1 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
On November 26, 2007, the Company adopted a long-term, one-time equity program, the Kennametal Inc. 2008 Strategic Transformational Equity Program, under the 2002 Plan (the Program). The Program will compensate participating executives for achievement of certain performance conditions during the period which began on October 1, 2007 and ends on September 30, 2011. Each participant is awarded a maximum number of restricted stock units, each representing a contingent right to receive one share of capital stock of the Company to the extent the unit is earned during the performance period and becomes payable under the Program. The performance conditions are based on the Company’s total shareholder return (TSR), which governs 35 percent of the awarded restricted stock units, and cumulative adjusted earnings per share (EPS), which governs 65 percent of the awarded restricted stock units. As of June 30, 2009, participating executives have been granted awards equal to that number of restricted stock units having a value of $34.3 million. A further amount of $3.0 million is available under the Program for additional awards that may be made to other executives. There are no voting rights or dividends associated with these restricted stock units.
Under the Program, participants may earn up to a cumulative 35 percent of the maximum restricted stock units awarded if certain threshold levels of the performance conditions are achieved through two interim dates of September 30, 2009 and 2010. Generally, the payment of any restricted stock units under the Program is conditioned upon the participants being employed by the Company on the date of payment and the satisfaction of all other provisions of the Program.
The assumptions used in our valuation of the EPS performance-based portion of the restricted stock units granted under the Program during 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

Based on a change in the probability of achieving the performance criteria related to the vesting of the EPS performance-based portion of the restricted stock units, we reversed previously recognized compensation expense related to these units. The net credit recognized as compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $0.6 million for 2009. In 2008, compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $1.4 million. As of June 30, 2009, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock units was $1.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.
NOTE 19 — 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 SitesWe are involved as a PRP at various sites designated by the USEPA as Superfund sites. With respect to the Li Tungsten Superfund site in Glen Cove, New York, we remitted $0.9 million in 2008 to the DOJ as payment in full settlement for its claim against us for costs related to that site and reversed the remaining accrual of $0.1 million to operating expense. For certain of these sites, we have evaluated the claims and potential liabilities and have determined that neither are material, individually or in the aggregate. For certain other sites, proceedings are in the very early stages and have not yet progressed to a point where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRPs.
Other Environmental IssuesWe establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the total of accruals for these reserves was $5.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively. These totals represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues. Cash payments of $0.1 million and $1.0 million were made against these reserves during 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recorded favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.7 million during 2009 related to these reserves. We recorded unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.8 million during 2008 related to these reserves. 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 take 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 EHS Department, as well as an EHS Steering Committee, to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have established an EHS coordinator at 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.

NOTE 20 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal MattersVarious lawsuits arising during the normal course of business are pending against us. In our opinion, the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from these matters will have no significant effect on our consolidated financial positions or results of operations.
Lease CommitmentsWe lease a wide variety of facilities and equipment under operating leases, primarily for warehouses, production and office facilities and equipment. Lease expense under these rentals amounted to $30.9 million, $30.5 million, and $27.7 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Future minimum lease payments for non-cancelable operating leases are $21.4 million, $15.3 million, $7.7 million, $4.7 million and $3.6 million for the years 2010 through 2014 and $25.0 million thereafter.
Purchase CommitmentsWe have purchase commitments for materials, supplies and machinery and equipment as part of the ordinary conduct of business. A few of these commitments extend beyond one year and are based on minimum purchase requirements. We believe these commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.
Other Contractual ObligationsWe do not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are reasonably likely to adversely affect our liquidity.
Related Party TransactionsSales to affiliated companies were immaterial in 2009 and 2008. Sales to affiliated companies were $12.1 million in 2007. We do not have any other related party transactions that affect our operations, results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.
NOTE 21 — RIGHTS PLAN
Our shareowner rights plan provides for the distribution to shareowners of one-half of a right for each share of capital stock held as of September 5, 2000. See Note 2 for disclosure of our 2008 capital stock split. Each right entitles a shareowner to buy 1/100th of a share of a new series of preferred stock at a price of $120 (subject to adjustment). The rights are exercisable only if a person or group of persons acquires or intends to make a tender offer for 20 percent or more of our capital stock. If any person acquires 20 percent of the capital stock, each right will entitle the other shareowners to receive that number of shares of capital stock having a market value of two times the exercise price. If we are acquired in a merger or other business combination, each right will entitle the shareowners to purchase at the exercise price that number of shares of the acquiring company having a market value of two times the exercise price. The rights will expire on November 2, 2010 and are subject to redemption at $0.01 per right.
NOTE 22—TREASURY SHARE RESTORATION
Effective January 22, 2008, our Board of Directors (the Board) resolved to restore all of the Company’s treasury shares as of such date to unissued capital stock. The resolution also provided that, unless the Board resolves otherwise, any and all additional shares of capital stock acquired by the Company after such date will automatically be restored to unissued capital stock. Restoration of treasury shares was recorded as a reduction to capital stock of $8.1 million and additional paid-in capital of $202.5 million.
NOTE 23 — SEGMENT DATA
We operate in two global business units consisting of MSSG and AMSG, and Corporate. The presentation of segment information reflects the manner in which we organize segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
Intersegment sales are accounted for at arm’s-length prices, reflecting prevailing market conditions within the various geographic areas. Such sales and associated costs are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
Sales to a single customer did not aggregate 10 percent or more of total sales in 2009, 2008 or 2007. Export sales from U.S. operations to unaffiliated customers were $116.6 million, $113.6 million, and $133.0 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

METALWORKING SOLUTIONS & SERVICES GROUPIn the MSSG segment, we provide consumable metalcutting tools and tooling systems to manufacturing companies in a wide range of industries throughout the world. Metalcutting operations include turning, boring, threading, grooving, milling and drilling. Our tooling systems consist of a steel toolholder and cutting tool such as an indexable insert or drill made from cemented tungsten carbides, ceramics, cermets or other hard materials. During a metalworking operation, the toolholder is positioned in a machine that provides turning power. While the workpiece or toolholder is rapidly rotating, the cutting tool insert or drill contacts the workpiece and cuts or shapes the workpiece. The cutting tool insert or drill is consumed during use and must be replaced periodically. We also provide custom solutions to our customers’ metalcutting needs through engineering services aimed at improving their competitiveness. Engineering services include field sales engineers identifying products that enhance productivity and engineering product designs to meet customer needs.
ADVANCED MATERIALS SOLUTIONS GROUPIn the AMSG segment, the principal business lines include the production and sale of cemented tungsten carbide products used in mining, highway construction and engineered applications requiring wear and corrosion resistance, including compacts and other similar applications. These products have technical commonality to our metalworking products. Additionally, we manufacture and market engineered components with a proprietary metal cladding technology as well as other hard materials that likewise provide wear resistance and life extension. These products include radial bearings used for directional drilling for oil and gas, extruder barrels used by plastics manufacturers and food processors and numerous other engineered components to service a wide variety of industrial markets. We also sell metallurgical powders to manufacturers of cemented tungsten carbide products, intermetallic composite ceramic powders and parts used in the metalized film industry, and we provide application-specific component design services and on-site application support services. Lastly, we provide our customers with engineered component process technology and materials, which focus on component deburring, polishing and producing controlled radii.

NOTE 24 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and in accordance with the recently issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” we evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2009 through August 13, 2009, the date prior to the issuance of the financial statements.
On July 6, 2009, we entered into an amendment to our 2006 Credit Agreement. The amendment provides for the exclusion of certain cash restructuring charges from the earnings component used in the calculation of the leverage and interest ratios. The amendment also provides for an increase in the permitted leverage ratio for certain quarterly measurement dates. The amendment also provides restrictions on share repurchases and securitizations, as well as future acquisitions and capital leases should leverage ratios exceed the permitted ratio that prevailed prior to the amendment. Furthermore, the amendment would require security interest in our domestic accounts receivable and inventories should our leverage ratio exceed a certain threshold. The amendment includes an increase in interest rates on borrowings of approximately 200 basis points.
Also, during July 2009, we completed the issuance of 8.1 million shares of common stock generating net proceeds of $120.3 million which were used to pay down outstanding indebtedness under our revolving credit facility.

Income from continuing operations and net income for quarter ended September 30 and December 31, 2008, includes restructuring charges of $8.4 million and $6.2 million. Income from continuing operations and net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 include a goodwill impairment charge of $35.0 million. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, income from continuing operations and net income include restructuring charges of $4.9 million. |

b) | | Earnings per share amounts for each quarter are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the quarter. Earnings per share amounts for the full year are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

ITEM 9A — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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 June 30, 2009 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.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting is included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K and incorporated here by reference.
(c) Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The effectiveness of Kennametal’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
