FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This 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 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 development.

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 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2012 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 six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 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 2013 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. When used in this Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.


3.	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adopted

As of July 1, 2012, Kennametal adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) deferral to present reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. Companies were still required to adopt the other requirements contained in the accounting guidance on presentation of other comprehensive income. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of July 1, 2012, Kennametal adopted changes to the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance eliminated the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. An entity could elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. Each component of net income and other comprehensive income, together with totals for comprehensive income and its two parts, net income and other comprehensive income, need to be displayed under either alternative. We elected to present the two-statement option. Other than the change in presentation, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of July 1, 2012, Kennametal adopted changes to testing goodwill 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 a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Issued

In June 2012, the FASB issued 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 the indefinite lived intangible assets is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. This guidance is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted.

5.	ACQUISITION

On March 1, 2012, the Company acquired all of the shares of Deloro Stellite Holdings 1 Limited (Stellite) for a purchase price of $382.6 million; net of cash acquired.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, for the six months ended December 31, 2012, includes net sales of $119.7 million and net income of $2.1 million related to Stellite.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma summary of operating results presents the consolidated results of operations as if the Stellite acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2010. These amounts were calculated after the conversion to U.S. GAAP, applying our accounting policies and adjusting Stellite’s results to reflect increased depreciation and amortization expense resulting from recording fixed assets and intangible assets at fair value and decreasing interest expense to reflect Kennametal’s more favorable borrowing rate, together with the related tax effects. The pro forma results for the six months ended December 31, 2011 included $4.0 million of integration related pre-tax costs. The pro forma results have been presented for comparative purposes only and are not indicative of future results of operations or what would have occurred had the acquisition been made on July 1, 2010.



Six months ended December 31 (in thousands, except per share data)	2011
Pro forma (unaudited):
Net Sales	$	1,433,260
Net income attributable to Kennametal	$	152,132
Per share data attributable to Kennametal :

Diluted earnings per share	$	1.87


6.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable.

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 currency exchange rates on our consolidated results, achieve our targeted mix of fixed and floating interest rates on outstanding debt and forecasted transactions. 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 expense (income), net.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

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:



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Other expense (income), net - currency forward contracts	$	261	$	734	$	1,470	$	783

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 December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

In February 2009 we terminated interest rate swap contracts to convert $200.0 million of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. These contracts were originally set to mature in June 2012. This gain was amortized as a component of interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. The gain was fully amortized as of June 30, 2012. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, were 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) 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 December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, was $59.7 million and $69.9 million, respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at December 31, 2012, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months $0.7 million of losses on outstanding derivatives.

Floating-to-fixed interest rate swap contracts, 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 contracts 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 loss, net of tax. We had no such contracts outstanding at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In February 2012, we settled forward starting interest rate swap contracts to convert $150.0 million of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Upon settlement, we made a cash payment of $22.4 million. The loss is being amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, were recognized as interest expense.

The following represents gains and losses related to cash flow hedges:

10.	INVENTORIES

We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for approximately 52 percent and 49 percent of total inventories at both December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, 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.

Inventories consisted of the following:



(in thousands)	December 31, 2012			June 30, 2012
Finished goods	$	321,146		$	319,217
Work in process and powder blends	252,266			252,035

11.	LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES

On November 7, 2012, we issued $400.0 million of 2.65 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2019. Interest will be paid semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. We used the net proceeds from this notes offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

The 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 December 31, 2012. We had no borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2012. We had $212.2 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2012. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $710.1 million and $306.8 million at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The Level 1 fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.


12.	ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

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

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

Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the total of accruals for these reserves was $5.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. These totals represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues. We recorded unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012.

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.


13.	INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 26.4 percent and 17.3 percent, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by a favorable $4.2 million valuation allowance adjustment in the prior year and lower current quarter earnings contribution from Europe where tax rates are lower than those in the United States.

Table of Contents

KENNAMETAL INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 23.5 percent and 20.2 percent, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by a favorable valuation allowance adjustment in the prior year and lower current period earnings contribution from Europe where tax rates are lower than those in the United States. The impact of these items was partially offset by a benefit from the effective settlement of an income tax audit in Europe in the first quarter of this fiscal year.


14.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that 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 1.3 million shares and 1.2 million shares for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 1.2 million shares and 1.1 million shares for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Unexercised capital stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards of 0.9 million shares and 0.7 million shares for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 1.0 million shares and 0.7 million shares for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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.


15.	EQUITY

16.	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.

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

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 and surface technologies 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. 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.

Our sales of $633.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 decreased 1 percent compared to sales for the December quarter one year ago. Operating income was $66.5 million, a decrease of $27.5 million as compared to $94.0 million in the prior year quarter. Stellite contributed $5.2 million of operating income in the current year quarter. Operating income decreased due to lower absorption of manufacturing costs related to reduced sales volume and an inventory reduction initiative, as well as an unfavorable sales mix.

We reported current quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.52.

The December quarter was more challenging than we originally anticipated as most of our served end markets experienced weaker than expected demand. Continued soft demand and destocking unfavorably impacted our general engineering market, transportation was particularly slow in Europe due to extended plant shutdowns in December at automotive manufacturers, and customers further delayed their projects in the energy market.

Despite these sales challenges, we again delivered double-digit operating margin of 10.5 percent. We also demonstrated exceptional cost control throughout the company, and managed to reduce our finished goods and work in process inventory by approximately $17 million from the September quarter despite a demand environment that was much softer than anticipated. In addition, we enhanced our liquidity and strengthened our financial position by issuing $400 Million of 2.65 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2019.

Raw material prices were relatively stable in the market during the quarter.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

SALES

Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $633.1 million, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 1 percent, from $641.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in sales was driven by a 10 percent organic decline and a 1 percent unfavorable effect from currency exchange, partially offset by a 9 percent increase from Stellite and a 1 percent increase from the effect of more business days. The decrease in sales was driven by weaker demand in both business segments and across most regions. On an organic basis, sales declined 15 percent in general engineering, 13 percent in energy markets, 8 percent in transportation and 6 percent in the earthworks markets, while aerospace and defense sales grew by 10 percent.

Sales for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $1,262.6 million, a decrease of $38.0 million, or 3 percent, from $1,300.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease in sales was driven by an 8 percent organic decline and a 4 percent unfavorable effect from currency exchange, partially offset by a 9 percent increase from Stellite. The decrease in sales was driven by weaker demand in both business segments and across most regions. On an organic basis, sales declined 15 percent in general engineering, 10 percent in energy markets, 6 percent in the earthworks markets and 5 percent in transportation, while aerospace and defense sales grew by 9 percent.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $199.4 million, a decrease of $32.5 million from

$231.9 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower absorption of manufacturing costs related to reduced sales volume and an inventory reduction initiative impact of approximately $5.0 million, as well as an unfavorable sales mix. The gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was 31.5 percent, as compared to 36.1 percent generated in the prior year quarter.

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $407.8 million, a decrease of $75.1 million from $482.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to an organic sales decline and lower related absorption of manufacturing costs, unfavorable foreign currency exchange of $14.9 million and an unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by cost reduction benefits. The gross profit margin for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was 32.3 percent, as compared to 37.1 percent generated in the prior year period.

OPERATING EXPENSE

Operating expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 decreased $6.8 million or 5.0 percent to $127.8 million as compared to $134.6 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease is primarily due to lower employment costs of $7.5 million driven by lower incentive compensation as well as the impact of cost containment measures and favorable currency effects of $2.3 million, partially offset by Stellite operating expense of $7.8 million.

Operating expense for the six months ended December 31, 2012 decreased $14.0 million or 5.0 percent to $266.6 million as compared to $280.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to lower employment costs of $12.6 million driven by lower incentive compensation, favorable currency effects of $10.3 million and the effect of cost containment measures, partially offset by Stellite operating expense of $15.1 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 increased $1.7 million to $7.0 million as compared to

$5.3 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2012 increased $2.2 million to $12.9 million as compared to $10.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to higher borrowings attributable to funding for the Stellite acquisition.

OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME), NET

Other expense, net for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $0.7 million compared to other income, net of

$1.3 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency transaction results of $1.4 million.

Other income, net for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $0.2 million compared to $0.7 million for the prior year period.

INCOME TAXES

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was enacted on January 2, 2013. The impact of this legislation, which includes an extension of the credit for increasing research activities, will be reflected in our third quarter condensed consolidated financial statements. We anticipate that its impact will reduce our income tax provision by approximately $3 million to $4 million over the second half of the fiscal year.

During fiscal 2012, we received an assessment from the Italian tax authority that denied certain tax deductions primarily related to our 2008 tax return. Attempts at negotiating a reasonable settlement with the tax authority were unsuccessful; and as a result, we have decided to litigate the issue. We believe the assessment is baseless, and accordingly, do not anticipate making a payment in connection with this assessment. Accordingly, no income tax liability has been recorded in connection with this assessment; however, settlement at its face value would result in an approximate $30 million increase to income tax expense.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW

We operate two reportable segments consisting of Industrial and Infrastructure. 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.

INDUSTRIAL



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Sales	$	361,171	$	409,887	$	714,348	$	827,706
Operating income	37,402		62,898		72,591		135,583

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, Industrial external sales decreased by 12 percent driven by an organic sales decline of 10 percent and a 2 percent unfavorable effect from currency exchange. On an organic basis, sales declined by 15 percent in general engineering and 8 percent in transportation, while aerospace and defense sales grew 10 percent. General engineering was unfavorably impacted by lower sales to the indirect channels due to further inventory destocking, while transportation experienced lower vehicle production rates and extended plant shut-downs, particularly in Europe and Asia. Aerospace and defense sales benefited from the increase in commercial aircraft production. On a regional basis, sales declined by approximately 15 percent in Asia, 9 percent in Europe and 8 percent in the Americas. The sales decrease in Asia was primarily driven by the decline in the general engineering and transportation end markets. The sales decrease in America and Europe was primarily driven by the decline in the general engineering end market.

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

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, Industrial operating income decreased by $25.5 million. The decrease in operating income was due to lower sales volume and lower absorption of manufacturing costs and an unfavorable sales mix. Industrial operating margin was 10.4 percent compared with 15.3 percent in the prior year.

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Industrial external sales decreased by 14 percent driven by an organic sales decline of 9 percent, unfavorable effect from currency exchange of 4 percent and the impact of fewer business days of 1 percent. On an organic basis, sales declined by 15 percent in general engineering and 5 percent in transportation, while aerospace and defense sales grew 9 percent. General engineering was unfavorably impacted by lower sales to the indirect channels due to further inventory destocking, while transportation experienced lower vehicle production rates and extended plant shut-downs, particularly in Europe and Asia. Aerospace and defense sales benefited from the increase in commercial aircraft production. On a regional basis, sales declined by approximately 11 percent in the Americas, 9 percent in Europe and 8 percent in Asia. The sales decrease in America and Europe was primarily driven by the decline in the general engineering end market. The sales decrease in Asia was primarily driven by the decline in the general engineering and transportation end markets.

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Industrial operating income decreased by $63.0 million. The decrease in operating income was due to lower absorption of manufacturing costs related to reduced sales volume and an inventory reduction initiative, as well as an unfavorable sales mix and unfavorable foreign currency impacts. Industrial operating margin was 10.2 percent compared with 16.4 percent in the prior year.

INFRASTRUCTURE



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2012		2011		2012		2011

Operating income	31,181		33,312		62,916		65,866

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, Infrastructure external sales increased by 17 percent, driven by 26 percent growth from Stellite, partially offset by an 8 percent organic decline and a 1 percent unfavorable effect from currency exchange. The organic decrease was driven by lower sales in the energy and earthworks markets of 13 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Energy customers continued to delay orders due to ongoing decline in the North American oil and gas rig count. Weak underground coal demand in North America, as well as additional mine closures, affected earthworks. On a regional basis excluding the impact of Stellite, sales decreased by approximately 12 percent in the Americas and 3 percent in Asia and remained flat in Europe. The sales decrease in America, Europe and Asia was primarily driven by the decline in the earthworks market.

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, Infrastructure operating income decreased by $2.1 million. Infrastructure operating income benefited from Stellite operating income of $5.2 million, which was more than offset by the effects of the organic sales decline and lower absorption of manufacturing costs, and an unfavorable sales mix. Infrastructure operating margin was 11.5 percent compared with 14.4 percent in the prior year.

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Infrastructure external sales increased by 16 percent, driven by 25 percent growth from Stellite, partially offset by a 7 percent organic decline and a 2 percent unfavorable effect from currency exchange. The organic decrease was driven by lower sales in the energy and earthworks markets of 10 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Energy customers continued to delay orders due to ongoing decline in the North American oil and gas rig count. Weak underground coal demand in North America, as well as additional mine closures, affected earthworks. On a regional basis excluding the impact of Stellite, sales decreased by approximately 11 percent in the Americas and 1 percent in Europe, while sales were 1 percent higher in Asia. The sales decrease in America and Europe was primarily driven by the decline in the earthworks market. The sales increase in Asia was primarily driven by the growth in the earthworks market.

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Infrastructure operating income decreased by $3.0 million. Infrastructure operating income benefited from Stellite operating income of $8.3 million, which was more than offset by the effects of the organic sales decline and lower absorption of manufacturing costs, and an unfavorable sales mix. Infrastructure operating margin was 11.5 percent compared with 13.9 percent in the prior year.

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, Corporate unallocated expense remained flat compared to the prior year period.

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Corporate unallocated expense decreased $1.1 million mainly due to lower pension expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations and borrowings against our 2011 Credit Agreement are the primary sources of funding for capital expenditures and internal growth.

On February 14, 2012, we issued $300.0 million of 3.875 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2022. Interest is paid semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. We applied the net proceeds from this notes offering to the repayment of our 7.2 percent Senior Unsecured Notes on their June 15, 2012 maturity date.

On October 21, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our 2010 Credit Agreement, which is used to augment cash from operations and as an additional source of funds. The 2011 Credit Agreement extends to October 2016 and 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 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 December 31, 2012. We had no borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2012. For the six months ended December 31, 2012, average daily borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreements were approximately $285.2 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 December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents of $204 million and short term intercompany advances made by our foreign subsidiaries to our U.S. parent of $88 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. These short term intercompany advances are in the form of intercompany loans made over quarter end to repay borrowings under our revolving credit agreement and have a duration of not more than fourteen days. We have not, nor do we anticipate the need to, repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

At December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents were $216.8 million, total debt was $706.9 million and total Kennametal Shareowners' equity was $1,720.0 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.

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

There have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2012.

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities

During the six months ended December 31, 2012, cash flow provided by operating activities was $54.2 million, compared to $71.1 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 $164.1 million, partially offset by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to $109.9 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $135.8 million primarily driven by lower accounts payable, lower accrued payroll and payment of $19.0 million of incentive compensation, an increase in inventory of $22.9 million primarily due to previously committed raw material purchases, a decrease in accrued income taxes of $21.2 million and a decrease in other of $3.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $73.9 million due to lower sales volume.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, cash flow used for operating activities consisted of net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $194.2 million, partially offset by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to

$123.1 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities was an increase in inventory of $83.4 million driven by higher inventory levels to meet higher demand, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $67.3 million driven by payment of $27.0 million of incentive compensation and decrease in other of $3.5 million, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $23.2 million and an increase in accrued income taxes of $7.8 million.

Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities

Cash flow used for investing activities was $33.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to

$43.9 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $33.7 million, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of

$33.0 million, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades and $10.0 million for the purchase of a technology license intangible in our infrastructure segment.

Cash Flow Provided by (Used for) Financing Activities

Cash flow provided by financing activities was $73.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to cash flow used for financing activities of $84.8 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow provided by financing activities included $142.0 million net increase in borrowings and $6.1 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans. These cash flows were offset by $46.6 million used for the purchase of capital stock, $25.7 million of cash dividends paid to Shareowners and $2.8 million of other.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, cash flow used for financing activities included $66.7 million used for the purchase of capital stock, $21.1 million of cash dividends paid to Shareowners and $7.2 million of other, partially offset by $10.9 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital was $993.8 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $289.5 million from $704.3 million at June 30, 2012. The increase in working capital was driven primarily by an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $100.3 million due to the net increase in borrowings, a decrease in current maturities of long-term debt, capital leases and notes payable of

$72.5 million due to lower international notes payable and a decrease in short-term revolving and other lines of credit, a decrease in accounts payable of $64.1 million, an increase in inventories of $33.6 million primarily due to previously committed raw material purchases, a decrease in other current liabilities of $30.2 million primarily due to payment of incentive compensation of $19.0 million and lower production levels, a decrease in accrued expenses of $26.0 million due to lower sales commission payments from lower sales volume and the timing of payments and a decrease in accrued income taxes of $23.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $66.4 million due to lower sales. Foreign currency effects accounted for $20.1 million of the working capital change.

Property, plant and equipment, net decreased $4.6 million from $742.2 million at June 30, 2012 to $737.6 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to depreciation expense of $45.5 million and capital disposals of $0.7 million, partially offset by capital additions of $34.4 million and a favorable foreign currency impact of $10.8 million.

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

At December 31, 2012, other assets were $1,006.5 million, a decrease of $2.5 million from $1,009.0 million at June 30, 2012. The drivers for the decrease were a decrease in other intangible assets of $9.3 million and a decrease in deferred income taxes of $3.6 million, partially offset by an increase in goodwill of $8.2 million and an increase in other assets of $2.2 million. The change in other intangible assets was due to amortization expense of $10.3 million and favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $1.0 million. The change in goodwill was due to favorable foreign currency effects. The change in other assets was primarily due to higher deferred financing fees related to the issuance of $400 million of 2.65 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2019 and an increase in pension assets due to a higher return on plan assets, partially offset by lower prepaid charges.

Long-term debt and capital leases increased $213.6 million to $704.2 million at December 31, 2012 from $490.6 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was driven by the issuance of $400 million of 2.65 percent Senior Unsecured Notes which are due in 2019, partially offset by a decrease in borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement of $185.0 million.

Kennametal Shareowners' equity was $1,720.0 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $76.1 million from

$1,643.9 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to net income attributable to Kennametal of $88.5 million, foreign currency translation adjustments of $37.8 million and capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $19.0 million, partially offset by the purchase of capital stock of $46.6 million and cash dividends paid to Shareowners of

$25.7 million.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At

December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the total of accruals for these reserves was $5.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. These totals represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues. We recorded unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012.

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.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2012.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposure since June 30, 2012.

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 December 31, 2012 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 Stellite on March 1, 2012. Stellite represents approximately 17 percent of the Company's total assets as of December 31, 2012. Management's assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012 excluded an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Stellite.
