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

1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2019 Annual Report. The interim statements are unaudited; however, we believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods were made and all adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 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 2020 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "the Company," “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries.

2.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases: Topic 842," which replaces the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for substantially all leases. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach with the optional transition relief that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and without a restatement of prior periods. Therefore, prior period amounts were not adjusted and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We determined that there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward historical lease classification. Adoption of this ASU resulted in the recording of lease liabilities of approximately $49 million with the offset to lease ROU assets of $49 million as of July 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our condensed consolidated statement of income and our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Refer to Note 10 for additional disclosures regarding the adoption of this new standard.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which seeks to improve financial reporting and obtain closer alignment with risk management activities, in addition to simplifying the application of hedge accounting guidance and additional disclosures. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2019. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which includes amendments allowing the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) to improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. Certain guidance is optional and was effective for Kennametal July 1, 2019. We elected not to reclassify the stranded tax effects as permissible under this standard. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which expands the scope of accounting for stock-based compensation to nonemployees. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2019. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable.
As of September 30, 2019, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are categorized as follows:

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 fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:
(in thousands)
September 30,
2019
 
June 30,
2019
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

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 income, net. Gains related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments have been recognized as follows:

CASH FLOW HEDGES
Range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold) are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and other 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, 2019 and June 30, 2019, was $43.6 million and $61.5 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, 2019, we expect to recognize into earnings $0.3 million of income on outstanding derivatives in the next 12 months.
The following represents gains and losses related to cash flow hedges:

Losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into cost of goods sold and other income, net

No portion of the gains or losses recognized in earnings was due to ineffectiveness and no amounts were excluded from our effectiveness testing for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
FY20 Restructuring Actions
In the June quarter of fiscal 2019, we began implementing the current phase of restructuring associated with our simplification/modernization initiative. These actions are expected to reduce structural costs, improve operational efficiency and position the Company for long-term profitable growth. These actions are expected to be completed in fiscal 2020 and are expected to be primarily cash expenditures.
The pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be in the range of $55 million to $65 million, which are expected to be 80 percent Industrial, 15 percent Infrastructure and 5 percent Widia. Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $21.3 million were recorded for this program through September 30, 2019 consisting of: $15.3 million in Industrial, $4.1 million in Infrastructure and $1.9 million in Widia.
FY21 Restructuring Actions
On July 11, 2019, we announced the initiation of restructuring actions in Germany associated with simplification/modernization, which are expected to reduce structural costs. These actions are expected to be completed by fiscal 2021 and are expected to be primarily cash expenditures.
The pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be in the range of $60 million to $75 million, which is expected to be primarily in the Industrial segment. Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $0.9 million were recorded for this program through September 30, 2019 in the Industrial segment.
Restructuring and Related Charges Recorded
We recorded restructuring and related charges of $8.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $4.7 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Restructuring-related charges of $3.3 million were recorded in cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

INVENTORIES
We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 40 percent and 41 percent of total inventories at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively. Inventory valuations under the LIFO method are based on an annual determination of quantities and costs as of June 30 of each year; therefore, the interim LIFO valuations are based on our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to any final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

LEASES
At the inception of our contracts we determine if the contract is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement. For leases that do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined considering factors such as the lease term, our credit rating and the economic environment of the location of the lease as of the commencement date.
We account for non-lease components separately from lease components. These costs often relate to the payments for a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other operating costs in addition to base rent. We also do not recognize ROU assets and liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Lease costs associated with leases of less than 12 months were $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
As a lessee, we have various operating lease agreements primarily related to real estate, vehicles and office and plant equipment. The Company’s real estate leases, which are comprised primarily of manufacturing, warehousing, office and administration facilities, represent a majority of our lease liability. Our lease payments are largely fixed. Any variable lease payments, including utilities, common area maintenance and repairs and maintenance, are expensed during the period incurred. Variable lease costs were immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2019. A majority of our real estate leases include options to extend the lease and options to early terminate the lease. Leases with an early termination option generally involve a termination payment. We review all options to extend, terminate, or purchase the ROU assets at the inception of the lease and account for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. Our lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or materially restrictive covenants. The Company does not have any material leases that have been signed but not commenced, and we did not have any lease transactions with related parties.
The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate for our operating leases were approximately 8.5 years and 3.3 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2019.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in operating expense on our consolidated statement of income. Operating lease cost was $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

LONG-TERM DEBT
Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in June 2018 (Credit Agreement), provides for revolving credit loans of up to $700 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). We were in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2019. We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement matures in June 2023.
Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $627.6 million and $622.0 million at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market prices for similar debt instruments as of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, 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.
We establish and maintain reserves for certain potential environmental liabilities. At September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the balances of these reserves were $12.2 million and $12.4 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with potential remedial requirements and are generally not discounted.

14

Table of Contents

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


The reserves we have established for potential 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), other governmental agencies and by the Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) groups in which we are participating. Although our reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these potential 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.
Superfund Sites Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), under which we have been designated by the USEPA as a PRP with respect to environmental remedial costs at certain Superfund sites. We have evaluated our claims and liabilities associated with these Superfund sites based upon best currently available information. We believe our environmental accruals are adequate to cover our portion of the environmental remedial costs at the Superfund sites where we have been designated a PRP, to the extent these expenses are probable and reasonably estimable.

13.
INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 33.7 percent and 24.9 percent, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the change in the jurisdictional mix caused by expected restructuring and related charges and the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT). The prior year rate includes a discrete charge of $1.0 million related to the one-time tax that was imposed on our unremitted foreign earnings under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA).
Swiss tax reform effective January 1, 2020 was enacted in October 2019. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this new law and its effect on our tax provision, and will complete this evaluation in the December quarter of fiscal 2020.

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 would occur related to the issuance of capital stock under stock option grants, performance awards and restricted stock units. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options, performance awards and restricted stock units.
The following tables provide the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

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


OVERVIEW
Kennametal Inc. was founded based on a tungsten carbide technology breakthrough in 1938. The Company was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943 as a manufacturer of tungsten carbide metal cutting tooling, and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 1967. With more than 80 years of materials expertise, the Company is a global industrial technology leader, helping customers across the aerospace, earthworks, energy, general engineering and transportation industries manufacture with precision and efficiency. This expertise includes the development and application of tungsten carbides, ceramics, super-hard materials and solutions used in metal cutting and extreme wear applications to keep customers up and running longer against conditions such as corrosion and high temperatures.
Our standard and custom product offering spans metalworking and wear applications including turning, milling, hole making, tooling systems and services, as well as specialized wear components and metallurgical powders. End users of our metalworking products include manufacturers engaged in a diverse array of industries including: the manufacturers of transportation vehicles and components, machine tools and light and heavy machinery; airframe and aerospace components; and energy-related components for the oil and gas industry, as well as power generation. Our wear and metallurgical powders are used by producers and suppliers in equipment-intensive operations such as road construction, mining, quarrying, oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply.
Throughout the MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance. We also refer to a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), including organic sales decline, constant currency regional sales (decline) growth and constant currency end market sales decline. We provide the definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures at the end of the MD&A section as well as details on the use and derivation of these financial measures.
Our sales of $518.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 decreased 12 percent year-over-year, reflecting 11 percent organic sales decline and 2 percent unfavorable currency exchange effect, partially offset by a 1 percent favorable business day effect. We experienced significantly slower market conditions than we expected for the quarter across all regions and in our end markets, primarily general engineering, energy and transportation.
Operating income was $16.4 million, compared to $83.2 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to organic sales decline, higher raw material costs, unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption in certain facilities due to lower volumes and simplification/modernization efforts in progress and greater restructuring and related charges, partially offset by incremental simplification/modernization benefits. Operating margin declined to 3.2 percent from 14.2 percent in the prior year quarter. Higher raw material costs, which are expected to abate in the second half of fiscal 2020, had a detrimental effect on year-over-year operating margin of approximately 360 basis points. Industrial segment operating margin was 7.6 percent, and Widia and Infrastructure segment operating loss margins were 4.5 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively.
Our capital structure and expected net cash flows from operating activities for the fiscal year enables us to deliver on our simplification/modernization investments as planned. Our structural cost reduction efforts are on schedule, including the proposed closures of three manufacturing locations and a distribution center. We recorded approximately $8 million of pre-tax restructuring and related charges in the quarter, and incremental pre-tax benefits from simplification/modernization restructuring were approximately $2 million in the quarter. Total benefits from simplification/modernization, including restructuring initiatives, were approximately $8 million in the quarter. We achieved annualized run-rate savings from simplification/modernization of approximately $58 million since inception.
As part of the FY20 Restructuring Actions, production was discontinued at our Lichtenau, Germany facility at the end of October. We expect to finalize negotiations with the relevant employee representatives in the December quarter of fiscal 2020.
As part of simplification/modernization initiatives, in October 2019 we signed a definitive agreement to sell certain assets of the non-core specialty alloys business located in New Castle, Pennsylvania. The transaction is expected to close during the December quarter of fiscal 2020. The carrying value of the assets, classified as held and used in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, is approximately $27 million as of September 30, 2019.
We reported current quarter earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.08. EPS for the current quarter includes restructuring and related charges of $0.09 per share. The earnings per diluted share of $0.68 in the prior year quarter included a discrete charge related to U.S. tax reform of $0.01 per share and restructuring and related charges of $0.01 per share.
We generated a net cash inflow from operating activities of $27.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $9.2 million during the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures were $72.5 million and $43.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with the increase primarily due to higher spending associated with our simplification/modernization initiatives.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

SALES
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $518.1 million, a decrease of $68.6 million, or 12 percent, from $586.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in sales was driven by 11 percent organic sales decline and 2 percent unfavorable currency exchange impact, partially offset by a 1 percent favorable business day effect.

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $139.0 million, a decrease of $72.1 million from $211.1 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to organic sales decline, higher raw material costs, unfavorable volume-related labor and fixed cost absorption in certain facilities in part due to simplification/modernization efforts in progress, unfavorable foreign currency exchange impact of approximately $3 million and unfavorable mix, partially offset by incremental simplification/modernization benefits. Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 26.8 percent, as compared to 36.0 percent in the prior year quarter. Higher raw material costs, which are expected to abate in the second half of fiscal 2020, had a detrimental effect on year-over-year gross profit margin of approximately 360 basis points.

OPERATING EXPENSE
Operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $114.2 million compared to $123.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense, incremental restructuring simplification benefits and favorable currency exchange impact of approximately $2 million.
We invested further in technology and innovation to continue delivering high quality products to our customers. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $10.4 million and $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
FY20 Restructuring Actions
In the June quarter of fiscal 2019, we began implementing the current phase of restructuring associated with our simplification/modernization initiative. These actions are expected to reduce structural costs, improve operational efficiency and position the Company for long-term profitable growth and are currently estimated to achieve $35 million to $40 million of annualized savings by the end of fiscal 2020. These actions are expected to be completed in fiscal 2020 and are expected to be primarily cash expenditures.
The pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be in the range of $55 million to $65 million, which are expected to be 80 percent Industrial, 15 percent Infrastructure and 5 percent Widia. Restructuring and related charges since inception of $21.3 million were recorded for this program through September 30, 2019 consisting of: $15.3 million in Industrial, $4.1 million in Infrastructure and $1.9 million in Widia. Inception to date, we have achieved annualized savings of approximately $2 million.
FY21 Restructuring Actions
On July 11, 2019, we announced the initiation of restructuring actions in Germany associated with simplification/modernization, which are expected to reduce structural costs with estimated annualized savings of $25 million to $30 million. These actions are expected to be completed by fiscal 2021 and are expected to be primarily cash expenditures.
The pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be in the range of $60 million to $75 million, which is expected to be primarily in the Industrial segment. Restructuring and related charges since inception of $0.9 million were recorded for this program through September 30, 2019 in the Industrial segment.
Restructuring and Related Charges Recorded
We recorded restructuring and related charges of $8.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $4.7 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Restructuring-related charges of $3.3 million were recorded in cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased to $7.9 million compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
OTHER INCOME, NET
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased slightly to $2.7 million from $2.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 33.7 percent and 24.9 percent, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the change in the jurisdictional mix caused by expected restructuring and related charges and the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax. The prior year rate includes a discrete charge of $1.0 million related to the one-time tax that was imposed on our unremitted foreign earnings under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
Swiss tax reform effective January 1, 2020 was enacted in October 2019. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of this new law and its effect on our tax provision, and will complete this evaluation in the December quarter of fiscal 2020.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW
We operate three reportable segments consisting of Industrial, Widia and Infrastructure. Expenses that are not allocated are reported in Corporate. Segment determination is based upon the manner in which we organize segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance and the availability of separate financial results.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, Industrial sales decreased 13 percent from the prior year quarter. Transportation sales declined in all regions due to continued weakness in market conditions, while general engineering sales declined in all regions due to an overall softening in global manufacturing activity. Energy sales decreased due to a decline in oil and gas drilling in the Americas, partially offset by continued strength in renewable energy in China. Sales in aerospace were down primarily due to large projects in the prior year that did not repeat. The sales decrease in Asia Pacific was primarily driven by declines in the transportation and general engineering end markets, partially offset by an increase in the energy end market. The sales decrease in EMEA was mostly due to a decline in the transportation end market, but also due to declines in the general engineering and energy markets, partially offset by an increase in the aerospace end market. The sales decrease in the Americas was driven primarily by declines in the general engineering and transportation end markets, but also due to declines in the energy and aerospace end markets.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, Industrial operating income decreased by $37.3 million, driven primarily by organic sales decline, unfavorable volume-related labor and fixed cost absorption in certain facilities in part due to simplification/modernization efforts in progress, greater restructuring and related charges, higher raw material costs and higher compensation expense, partially offset by incremental simplification/modernization benefits and favorable mix. Higher raw material costs, which are expected to abate in the second half of fiscal 2020, had a detrimental effect on year-over-year operating margin of approximately 140 basis points.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, Widia sales decreased 9 percent from the prior year quarter. The sales decrease in Asia Pacific was driven primarily by further deteriorating market conditions, specifically in India and China where the decline in auto production has affected distributors. The decrease in the Americas was primarily due to a slower U.S. manufacturing environment, partially offset by growth in products focused on aerospace applications. Sales in EMEA, despite the increasingly difficult market environment, were flat on a constant currency basis due to the growth in products focused on aerospace applications.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, Widia operating loss was $2.0 million compared to operating income of $2.1 million in the prior year quarter. The change was driven primarily by higher raw material costs, organic sales decline and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by incremental simplification/modernization benefits. Higher raw material costs, which are expected to abate in the second half of fiscal 2020, had a detrimental effect on year-over-year operating margin of approximately 430 basis points.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, Infrastructure sales decreased by 11 percent from the prior year quarter. The U.S. oil and gas market drove year-over-year decline in the energy market with average U.S. land rig counts down 14 percent compared to the prior year quarter. The decline in general engineering was driven by slower economic conditions in the Americas and Asia Pacific, offset partially by increased defense-related business in EMEA. Earthworks end market sales were down year-over-year due to softness in mining in the Americas and Asia Pacific, partially offset by growth in Americas construction. The sales decrease in the Americas was primarily driven by a decline in the energy end market, while the decrease in Asia Pacific was primarily due to declines in the general engineering and earthworks end markets. The sales increase in EMEA was driven primarily by growth in the general engineering end market, partially offset by declines in both the earthworks and energy end markets.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, Infrastructure operating loss was $2.7 million compared to operating income of $23.9 million in the prior year quarter. The change was driven primarily by higher raw material costs, unfavorable mix along with organic sales decline and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by incremental simplification/modernization benefits. Higher raw material costs, which are expected to abate in the second half of fiscal 2020, had a detrimental effect on year-over-year operating margin of approximately 660 basis points.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow from operations is the primary source of funding for our capital expenditures. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, cash flow provided by operating activities was $27.5 million, primarily due to the net inflow from net income with adjustments for non-cash items, partially offset by a net outflow from changes in other assets and liabilities.
Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in June 2018 (Credit Agreement), is used to augment cash from operations and is an additional source of funds. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit loans of up to $700.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euros, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the Credit Agreement is based upon the type of borrowing under the facility and may be (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (2) the greater of the prime rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus an applicable margin, or (3) fixed as negotiated by us. The Credit Agreement matures in June 2023.
The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). We were in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, average daily borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were approximately $1.9 million. We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.
We consider the majority of the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested. With regard to these unremitted earnings, 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. With regard to the small portion of unremitted earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested, we maintain a deferred tax liability for foreign withholding and U.S. state income taxes.
In 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 decided to litigate the matter. While the outcome of the litigation is still pending, the authority has served notice requiring payment in the amount of €36 million. Accordingly, we will request a stay and expect not to make a payment in connection with this assessment. We continue to believe that the assessment is baseless and accordingly, no income tax liability has been recorded in connection with this assessment in any period. However, if the Italian tax authority were to be successful in litigation, settlement of the amount alleged by the Italian tax authority would result in an increase to income tax expense for as much as €36 million, or $40 million, of which penalties and interest is €20 million, or $23 million.
At September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $113.5 million, Total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,298.6 million and total debt was $596.4 million. Our current senior credit ratings are at investment grade levels. We believe that our current financial position, liquidity and credit ratings provide us access to the capital markets. We believe that we have sufficient resources available to meet cash requirements for the next 12 months. We continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and the condition of the capital markets, as well as the counterparty risk of our credit providers. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2019.
Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, cash flow provided by operating activities was $27.5 million, compared to $9.2 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 $48.9 million and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $21.3 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $47.1 million, a decrease in accrued income taxes of $6.7 million and a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $6.3 million. Partially offsetting these cash outflows was a decrease in accounts receivable of $41.6 million and a decrease in inventories of $2.7 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, cash flow provided by operating activities consisted of net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $94.5 million and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $85.3 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $52.7 million, an increase in inventories $48.6 million due in part to increasing demand and raw material price increases and a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $4.3 million. Partially offsetting these cash outflows was an increase in accrued income taxes of $9.5 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $9.0 million.
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Cash flow used for investing activities was $71.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $42.4 million for the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $72.1 million, which consisted primarily of simplification/modernization initiatives and equipment upgrades.
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $42.4 million, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades and modernization initiatives.
Cash Flow Used for Financing Activities
Cash flow used for financing activities was $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $418.9 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for financing activities included $16.6 million of cash dividends paid to Shareholders and $5.8 million of the effect of employee benefit and stock plans and dividend reinvestment, partially offset by a net increase in notes payable of $3.3 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, cash flow used for financing activities included $400.0 million of term debt repayments from the early extinguishment of our 2.650 percent Senior Unsecured Notes, $16.4 million of cash dividends paid to Shareholders and $2.4 million of the effect of employee benefit and stock plans and dividend reinvestment.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working capital was $646.7 million at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $82.4 million from $729.1 million at June 30, 2019. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $68.5 million; a decrease in accounts receivable of $52.2 million due primarily to a decline in sales, a decrease in inventories of $14.4 million and the addition of current operating lease liabilities of $13.6 million due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard without a restatement of prior periods. Partially offsetting these items was a decrease in accrued expenses of $22.9 million primarily due to payroll timing and lower accrued vacation pay, a decrease in other current liabilities of $17.8 million primarily due to bonus payments, a decrease in accounts payable of $14.2 million and an increase in other current assets of $9.7 million. Currency exchange rate effects decreased working capital by a total of approximately $18 million, the impact of which is included in the aforementioned changes.
Property, plant and equipment, net increased $29.4 million from $934.9 million at June 30, 2019 to $964.3 million at September 30, 2019, primarily due to capital additions of $72.7 million, partially offset by depreciation expense of $27.3 million, a negative currency exchange impact of approximately $14 million and disposals of $1.7 million.
At September 30, 2019, other assets were $569.7 million, an increase of $39.2 million from $530.5 million at June 30, 2019. The primary driver for the increase was the addition of operating lease ROU assets of $43.8 million the quarter due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard without a restatement of prior periods and an increase in other assets of $6.7 million primarily due to an increase in pension plan assets, partially offset by a decrease in goodwill of $5.4 million primarily due to unfavorable currency exchange effects and a $4.3 million decrease in other intangible assets, which was due to amortization expense of $3.7 million and unfavorable currency exchange effects of approximately $1 million.
Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,298.6 million at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $36.6 million from $1,335.2 million at June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable currency exchange effects of $34.0 million and cash dividends paid to Shareholders of $16.6 million, partially offset by net income attributable to Kennametal of $6.5 million, pension and other postretirement benefit effects in other comprehensive loss of $4.6 million and capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $2.4 million.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2019.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets The fair values of our reporting units are determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based upon historical and projected financial information. We apply our best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of the financial projections used to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected financial information. We perform our annual impairment tests for the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process unless there are impairment indicators based on the results of an ongoing cumulative qualitative assessment that warrants a test prior to that quarter. For the Widia reporting unit, recently certain macroeconomic factors have deteriorated, and as such we considered the potential for impairment of the carrying values of the Widia reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark of $27.0 million and $14.4 million, respectively. While our review did not indicate an impairment triggering event as of September 30, 2019, it did indicate a likely decrease in the excess of fair value over carrying value compared to our most recent impairment test during the June quarter of fiscal 2019. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. Certain events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair values of our reporting units and of the indefinite-lived trademark may include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, specifically, a further decrease in sales volume driven by a prolonged weakness in customer demand or other pressures adversely affecting our long-term sales trends; (ii) inability to achieve the anticipated benefits from simplification/modernization and other cost reduction programs and (iii) inability to achieve the sales from our strategic growth initiatives.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of new accounting standards.

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

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

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). The Company's disclosure controls were designed to provide a reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance at September 30, 2019 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.
