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

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)




1.
ORGANIZATION
From its founding in 1938, the McKenna family incorporated Kennametal Inc. in Pennsylvania in 1943. Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Kennametal or the Company) are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence, as well as our technological expertise and innovation we deliver in our products and services, helps us to achieve a leading position in our primary markets. End users of our products include metalworking and machinery manufacturers and suppliers across a diverse array of industries, including the aerospace, defense, transportation, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery, as well as producers and suppliers in a number of equipment-intensive industries such as coal mining, road construction and quarrying, as well as oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply. Our end users' applications range from airframes to mining operations, engines to oil wells and turbochargers to processing. We operate two global business segments consisting of Industrial and Infrastructure.
 
2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements, which include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim statements are unaudited; however, we believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods were made and all adjustments are normal adjustments. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a “year” is to a fiscal year ended June 30. For example, a reference to 2014 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. When used in this Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries.

3.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adopted

As of July 1, 2013, Kennametal adopted disclosure requirements related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. See Note 15 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for required disclosures. Other than the change in disclosures, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of July 1, 2013, Kennametal adopted additional guidance on testing indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

8

Table of Contents

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable.
As of September 30, 2013, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:

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

The fair value of contingent consideration payable that was classified as Level 3 relates to our probability assessments of expected future milestone targets related to the Comercializadora Emura S.R.L and certain related entities (Emura) acquisition. The contingent consideration is to be paid over the next 3 years.

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

Certain currency forward contracts that hedge significant cross-border intercompany loans are considered as other derivatives and therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting. These contracts are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, with the offset to other expense (income), net. Losses related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments have been recognized as follows:

FAIR VALUE HEDGES

Fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts, designated as fair value hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to fair value fluctuations on a portion of our fixed rate debt. We had no such contracts outstanding at September 30, 2013 or June 30, 2013.
CASH FLOW HEDGES
Range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold) are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts at maturity are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and are recognized as a component of other expense (income), net when the underlying sale of products or services is recognized into earnings. The notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, was $84.7 million and $102.2 million, respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at September 30, 2013, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months $0.8 million of gains on outstanding derivatives.
In February 2012, we settled forward starting interest rate swap contracts to convert $150.0 million of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Upon settlement, we made a cash payment of $22.4 million. The loss is being amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. During both the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 0.5 million was recognized as interest expense.

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

INVENTORIES
We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 51 percent and 52 percent of total inventories at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Because inventory valuations under the LIFO method are based on an annual determination of quantities and costs as of June 30 of each year, the interim LIFO valuations are based on our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES
Our $600 million five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (2011 Credit Agreement) requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2013. We had $0 million and $3.6 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries. The 2011 Credit Agreement matures in April 2018.
Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $676.4 million and $680.1 million at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The Level 1 fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
 
11.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The operation of our business has exposed us to certain liabilities and compliance costs related to environmental matters. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at certain of our locations.
Superfund Sites We are involved as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at various sites designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as Superfund sites. For certain of these sites, we have evaluated the claims and potential liabilities and have determined that neither are material, individually or in the aggregate. For certain other sites, proceedings are in the very early stages and have not yet progressed to a point where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRP.

13

Table of Contents

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the balances of these reserves were $5.2 million and $5.1 million. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.
The reserves we have established for environmental liabilities represent our best current estimate of the costs of addressing all identified environmental situations, based on our review of currently available evidence, and taking into consideration our prior experience in remediation and that of other companies, as well as public information released by the USEPA, other governmental agencies, and by the PRP groups in which we are participating. Although the reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these environmental liabilities, there are uncertainties associated with environmental liabilities, and we can give no assurance that our estimate of any environmental liability will not increase or decrease in the future. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and direction taken by the government on these matters.
We maintain a Corporate Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have designated EHS coordinators who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

12.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 24.6 percent and 20.7 percent, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by a favorable European audit settlement in the prior year, partially offset by a lower relative U.S. earnings contribution in the current year, as well as a favorable valuation allowance adjustment related to a state tax law change.

13.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that occurs related to the issuance of capital stock under stock option grants, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units.
For purposes of determining the number of diluted shares outstanding, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units by 1.0 million shares and 1.2 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Unexercised capital stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards of 0.5 million shares and 1.1 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price, and therefore the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. We perform our annual impairment tests during the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process, unless there are impairment indicators that warrant a test prior to that. We noted no impairment indicators warranting additional testing.

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



18.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 4, 2013, Kennametal completed its transaction to acquire the Tungsten Materials business from Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI) which includes all of the assets of TDY Industries, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ATI, used or held for use by TDY in connection with the business; and all of the shares of TDY Limited and ATI Holdings SAS, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of ATI for a purchase price of approximately $605.0 million subject to a purchase price adjustment. ATI's Tungsten Materials Business, with approximately $340.0 million in annual sales, is a leading producer of tungsten metallurgical powders, as well as tooling technologies and components. The business has approximately 1,175 employees in 12 locations across 7 countries. We funded the acquisition primarily through a combination of cash from operations and available borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility. At the time of filing, sufficient information is not available to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. We will provide such information in our future filings.

OVERVIEW

Kennametal Inc. is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We deliver productivity to customers seeking peak performance in demanding environments by providing innovative custom and standard wear-resistant solutions. To provide these solutions, we harness our knowledge of advanced materials and application development with a commitment to environmental sustainability. Our solutions are built around industry-essential technology platforms. These include metalworking tools, engineered components, surface technologies and earth cutting tools that are mission-critical to the performance of our customers battling extreme conditions such as fatigue wear, corrosion and high temperatures. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence, as well as our technological expertise and innovation we deliver in our products and services, help us to achieve a leading position in our primary markets; general engineering, transportation, aerospace and defense, energy and earthworks. End users of our products include metalworking and machinery manufacturers and suppliers across a diverse array of industries, including the aerospace, defense, transportation, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery, as well as producers and suppliers in a number of equipment-intensive industries such as coal mining, road construction and quarrying, as well as oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply. Our end users' applications range from airframes to mining operations, engines to oil wells and turbochargers to processing. We believe we are one of the largest global providers of consumable metalcutting tools and tooling supplies.

Our sales of $619.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 decreased 2 percent compared to sales for the September quarter one year ago. Operating income was $58.8 million, a decrease of $5.6 million as compared to $64.4 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in operating income was driven by lower organic sales and unfavorable business mix, partially offset by lower raw material costs and reduced operating expense due to the Company's continued cost discipline. Operating income included a non-recurring physical inventory adjustment of $5.7 million and $1.1 million of acquisition-related charges. Organic sales decline includes both volume and price.

We reported current quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.48.

We generated strong cash flow from operating activities of $44.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013. Capital expenditures were $25.0 million during the quarter.

We invested further in technology and innovation to continue delivering a high level of new products to our customers. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

On September 14, 2013, Kennametal announced that we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Allegheny Technologies Incorporated's (ATI) Tungsten Materials business for approximately $605 million. ATI's Tungsten Materials business, with approximately $340.0 million in annual sales, is a leading producer of tungsten metallurgical powders, as well as tooling technologies and components. The business has approximately 1,175 employees in 12 locations across 7 countries.

The acquisition advances our core strategy that seeks to diversify the company's tungsten sourcing to balance supplies, costs and access to raw materials, including those produced from recycled products. The ability of the tungsten materials business to produce critical materials from recovered tooling and scrap will enhance our material sourcing and development capabilities to support the company's growth initiatives. The acquisition accelerates our previously announced plans to expand capacity and develop an advanced tungsten carbide recycling facility in the U.S. to serve global markets. We also estimate that this will reduce planned capital expenditures by approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million and expects to achieve economy of scale six to eight years earlier than prior projections. The acquisition is expected to generate significant synergies.

On November 4, 2013 Kennametal completed the transaction to acquire the Tungsten Materials business from ATI for approximately $605 million subject to a purchase price adjustment. We funded the acquisition primarily through a combination of cash from operations and available borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility.

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




ENHANCED OPERATING STRUCTURE IMPLEMENTED AS OF JULY1, 2013

We enhanced our organizational structure to align a broader base management team with customer-facing products and technology platforms, as well as to further increase cross-selling opportunities. This operating structure supports our stated growth objectives across diverse market sectors, preserves the focus on customers and increases product innovation. We will continue to report results in each of the Industrial and Infrastructure segments, as well as by served end markets, while also providing expanded disclosures discussing technology-based sales for each segment. Consistent with previous allocation methodologies, corporate expenses related to each segment will be classified accordingly. Previously disclosed Industrial and Infrastructure segment results were restated for certain sales reclassifications based on products and technologies.

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

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

SALES

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $619.8 million, a decrease of $9.7 million or 2 percent, from $629.5 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in sales was driven by a 3 percent organic decline, partially offset by a 1 percent favorable impact from more business days. The decrease in sales was primarily due to continuing weakness in the mining sector and near-term demand softness in the energy market. Sales declined by approximately 8 percent in the earthworks markets, 4 percent in aerospace and defense and 3 percent in the energy markets, while general engineering grew by 3 percent and transportation grew by 2 percent.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $198.2 million, a decrease of $10.1 million from $208.3 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower organic sales, unfavorable business mix and a non-recurring physical inventory adjustment of $5.7 million related to our mining business, partially offset by lower raw material costs. The gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 32.0 percent, as compared to 33.1 percent generated in the prior year quarter.

OPERATING EXPENSE

Operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $4.6 million or 3.3 percent to $134.3 million as compared to $138.9 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to containment of discretionary spending, partially offset by acquisition related-charges of $1.1 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $1.1 million to $7.1 million as compared to
$6.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the higher borrowing rate for our $400 million 2.65 percent Senior Unsecured Notes as compared to the borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement, partially offset by lower year-over-year borrowings.

OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME), NET

Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.6 million compared to other income, net of $0.9 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable currency exchange rate losses of $1.4 million.

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




INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 24.6 percent and 20.7 percent, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by a favorable effective settlement of an income tax audit in Europe in the prior year, partially offset by a lower current year relative U.S. earnings contribution, as well as a favorable valuation allowance adjustment related to a state tax law change.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW

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

Amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2012 have been restated to reflect the enhanced operating structure as of July 1, 2013.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, Industrial sales increased by 1 percent due to the favorable impact of more business days. Organic growth was flat. Sales increased by 2 percent in general engineering, 2 percent in transportation and 1 percent in energy, partially offset by a 2 percent decline in aerospace and defense. General engineering increased due to improvements in production and overall demand for machinery and the transportation market increased due to improvement in the light vehicle market. The decline in aerospace and defense is due to the timing of orders. On a regional basis, sales increased approximately 6 percent in Europe, remained relatively flat in the Americas and decreased by 5 percent in Asia. WIDIA reflected an increase year-over-year in all geographic regions. The sales increase in Europe was primarily driven by the performance in the transportation and general engineering end markets. The sales decrease in Asia was primarily driven by the decline in the transportation end markets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, Industrial operating income increased by $0.5 million. Industrial operating margin was 11.8 percent compared with 11.7 percent in the prior year.

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




For the three months ended September 30, 2013, Infrastructure sales decreased by 4 percent, driven by a 6 percent organic decline, partially offset by a 2 percent favorable impact from more business days. Sales declined 8 percent in earthworks markets, 4 percent in energy and 1 percent in transportation, partially offset by a 11 percent increase in general engineering. Earthworks sales declined from persistently weak underground coal mining market in China and the U.S., partially offset by highway construction sales growth of 6 percent due to increased demand in all three regions. Energy sales decreased due to lower drilling activity in oil and gas in the U.S., partially offset by gains in production and completion applications. General engineering and transportation reflects higher volumes from integrators and distributors. On a regional basis, sales grew 3 percent in Europe, offset by a decrease of 7 percent in Asia and 7 percent in the Americas. The sales increase in Europe was driven primarily by the performance in the energy and general engineering end markets. The sales decrease in Americas was driven primarily by the decrease in the energy and earthworks end markets, partially offset by the performance in the transportation end market. The sales decrease in Asia was driven primarily by the decrease in the earthworks and transportation end markets, partially offset by the performance in the energy end market.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, Infrastructure operating income decreased by $5.9 million. The primary drivers for the decrease in operating income were reduced organic sales and a non-recurring physical inventory adjustment of $5.7 million relating to our mining business. Infrastructure operating margin was 7.7 percent compared with 9.4 percent in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations and borrowings against our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (2011 Credit Agreement) are the primary sources of funding for capital expenditures and internal growth. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, cash flow provided by operating activities was $44.4 million, driven by our operating performance, and we had no outstanding borrowings on our 2011 Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2013.
 
The 2011 Credit Agreement is used to augment cash from operations and as an additional source of funds. The 2011 Credit Agreement permits revolving credit loans of up to $600.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The 2011 Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the 2011 Credit Agreement is based upon the type of borrowing under the facility and may be (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (2) the greater of the prime rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus an applicable margin, or (3) fixed as negotiated by us. The 2011 Credit Agreement matures in April 2018.

The 2011 Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, average daily borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement were approximately $6.0 million. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

We consider the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that have not previously been taxed in the U.S. to be permanently reinvested. As of September 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents of $232.6 million would not be available for use in the U.S. on a long term basis, without incurring U.S. federal and state income tax consequences. We have not, nor do we anticipate the need to, repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

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




At September 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $333.3 million, total debt was $706.3 million and total Kennametal Shareowners' equity was $1,842.2 million. Our current senior credit ratings are at investment grade levels. We believe that our current financial position, liquidity and credit ratings provide access to the capital markets. We continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and the condition of the capital markets, as well as the counterparty risk of our credit providers.

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2013.
Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, cash flow provided by operating activities was $44.4 million, compared to $3.1 million for the prior year period. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the current year period consisted of net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $76.0 million, partially offset by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $31.5 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were an increase in inventory of $28.6 million primarily driven by higher finished goods, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $23.7 million primarily driven by timing of payroll payments and a decrease in federal tax payments of $11.9 million. Offsetting these cash outflows were a decrease in accounts receivable of $26.0 million due to lower sales volume and improved collections and a decrease in accrued income taxes of $0.6 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, cash flow provided by operating activities consisted of net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $90.0 million, partially offset by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $86.9 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $89.2 million primarily driven by lower accounts payable, payment of $19.0 million of incentive compensation and timing of payroll payments, an increase in inventory of $31.6 million primarily raw materials, a decrease in accrued income taxes of $11.3 million and a decrease in other of $1.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $46.8 million due to lower sales volume.
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Cash flow used for investing activities was $42.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to
$15.4 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $24.8 million, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades and two acquisitions in the Infrastructure segment totaling $17.5 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $15.4 million, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades.
Cash Flow (Used for) Provided by Financing Activities
Cash flow used for financing activities was $48.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to cash flow provided by financing activities of $3.2 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for financing activities included $42.0 million net decrease in borrowings, $14.1 million of cash dividends paid to Shareowners, $4.3 million used for the purchase of capital stock and $0.5 million of other. These cash flows were offset by $12.5 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, cash flow provided by financing activities included $35.5 million net increase in borrowings, $3.8 million of other and $3.0 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans. These cash flows were offset by $26.0 million used for the purchase of capital stock and $12.9 million of cash dividends paid to Shareowners.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital was $1,069.4 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of $37.6 million from $1,031.9 million at June 30, 2013. The increase in working capital was primarily driven by an increase in inventory of $53.0 million mainly due to higher finished goods,work-in-process and $17.0 million impact from an acquisition during the current quarter, a decrease in current maturities of long-term debt, capital leases and notes payable of $41.4 million primarily due to lower notes payable and a decrease in accounts payable of $16.7 million. Partially offsetting these items was a decrease in cash and and cash equivalents of $44.0 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $19.9 million due to lower organic sales and improved collections and an increase in other current liabilities of $9.0 million driven primarily by an acquisition during the current quarter of $15.0 million, which included $4.0 million relating to contingent consideration and $11.0 million related to deferred tax liabilities, partially offset by incentive compensation paid during the current quarter and the impact of cost containment measures. Currency exchange effects accounted for $11.0 million of the working capital change.

Property, plant and equipment, net increased $7.1 million from $741.5 million at June 30, 2013 to $748.6 million at September 30, 2013, primarily due to capital additions of $16.4 million, favorable currency exchange impact of $7.6 million and $7.1 million from acquisitions during the current quarter, partially offset by depreciation expense of $22.3 million.
At September 30, 2013, other assets were $1,087.6 million, an increase of $27.5 million from $1,060.1 million at June 30, 2013. The primary drivers for the increase were an increase in other intangible assets of $13.2 million, an increase in goodwill of $8.8 million and an increase in other assets of $5.6 million. The change in other intangible assets was due to a $16.0 million acquisition impact during the current quarter and favorable currency exchange effects of $2.4 million, offset by amortization expense of $5.1 million. The change in goodwill was due to favorable currency exchange effects of $8.8 million. The change in other assets was primarily due to lower pension discount rates.

Long-term debt and capital leases decreased by $0.2 million to $703.4 million at September 30, 2013 from $703.6 million at
June 30, 2013.

Kennametal Shareowners' equity was $1,842.2 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of $60.4 million from $1,781.8 million at June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to net income attributable to Kennametal of $37.8 million, currency exchange adjustments of $28.1 million and capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $14.4 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid to Shareowners of $14.1 million and the purchase of capital stock of $4.3 million.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

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

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

Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the balances of these reserves were $5.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.

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

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

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our market risk exposure since June 30, 2013.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). The Company's disclosure controls were designed to provide a reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance at September 30, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The SEC's general guidance permits the exclusion of an assessment of the effectiveness of a registrant's disclosure controls and procedures as they relate to its internal controls over financial reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition, if among other circumstances and factors there is not adequate time between the acquisition date and the date of assessment. As previously noted in this Form 10-Q, the Company completed the acquisition of Emura on August 1, 2013. Emura represents less than 1 percent of the Company's total assets as of September 30, 2013. Management's assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013 excluded an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Emura.
