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, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can identify forward-looking statements by 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: the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business operations, financial results and financial position and on the industries in which we operate and the global economy generally; other 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 and in other periodic reports we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2020 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 six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 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 2021 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. 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.

3.DIVESTITURE

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we completed the sale of certain assets of the non-core specialty alloys and metals business within the Infrastructure segment located in New Castle, Pennsylvania to Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. for an aggregate price of $24.0 million.

The net book value of these assets at closing was $29.5 million, and the pre-tax loss on divestiture recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $6.5 million. Transaction proceeds were primarily used for capital expenditures related to our simplification/modernization efforts.

4.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.

There have been no changes in classification and transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy in the current period.

5. 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, we do not hold any 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)	December 31, 2020		June 30, 2020
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Other current assets - range forward contracts	$	1,911	$	4

Total derivatives	$	5,818	$	(2,103)

Table of Contents

KENNAMETAL INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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) 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)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Other income, net - currency forward contracts	$	(2,127)	$	(1)	$	(1,409)	$	112

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. Unrealized gains and losses related to 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. All contracts expired as of December 31, 2020, and the notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at June 30, 2020 was $2.2 million. The time value component of the fair value of range forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

During fiscal 2020, we entered into forward starting interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk related to our anticipated refinancing of our Senior Unsecured Notes due in fiscal 2022. We recorded 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. The notional amount of the contracts at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 was $200.0 million. We recorded assets of $3.9 million as of December 31, 2020 and $2.1 million of liabilities as of June 30, 2020 related to these contracts.

No portion of the gains or losses recognized in earnings was due to hedge ineffectiveness and no amounts were excluded from our effectiveness testing for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES

As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we had certain foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans payable with total aggregate principal amounts of €15.9 million designated as net investment hedges to hedge the foreign exchange exposure of our net investment in our Euro-based subsidiaries. The notional value of the contract, which has a maturity date of June 26, 2022 and includes principal and accrued interest, was €16.2 million, or $19.9 million, as of December 31, 2020. Losses of $0.8 million and $1.2 million were recorded as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Losses of $1.4 million and $0.1 million were recorded as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

6.RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

FY20 Restructuring Actions

In the June quarter of fiscal 2019, we implemented, and in fiscal 2020 substantially completed, the FY20 Restructuring Actions associated with our simplification/modernization initiative to reduce structural costs, improve operational efficiency and position us for long-term profitable growth. Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $54.8 million were recorded for this program through December 31, 2020, consisting of: $46.5 million in Metal Cutting and $8.3 million in Infrastructure.

FY21 Restructuring Actions

In the September quarter of fiscal 2020, we announced the initiation of restructuring actions in Germany associated with our simplification/modernization initiative, which are expected to reduce structural costs. Subsequently, we also announced the acceleration of our structural cost reduction plans including the closing of the Johnson City, Tennessee facility. Expected pre-tax charges for the FY21 Restructuring Actions are $90 million to $100 million. Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $74.7 million were recorded for this program through December 31, 2020, consisting of: $68.5 million in Metal Cutting and $6.2 million in Infrastructure. The majority of the remaining charges related to the FY21 Restructuring Actions are expected to be within the Metal Cutting segment.

Restructuring and Related Charges Recorded

We recorded restructuring and related charges of $4.2 million, of which $3.5 million was in Metal Cutting and $0.7 million was in Infrastructure, and $51.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

9.INVENTORIES

We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 40 percent and 43 percent of total inventories at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, 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.

Inventories consisted of the following:


(in thousands)	December 31, 2020		June 30, 2020
Finished goods	$	316,120	$	318,071
Work in process and powder blends	180,032		190,041

10.LONG-TERM DEBT AND REVOLVING AND OTHER LINES OF CREDIT

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into the First Amendment (the Amendment) to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 21, 2018, (as amended by the Amendment, the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement is a five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility and we use it to augment cash from operations and as 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: (1) a maximum leverage ratio where debt, net of domestic cash in excess of $25 million and, as added by the Amendment, sixty percent of the unrestricted cash held outside of the United States, must be less than or equal to 3.5 times trailing twelve months EBITDA (temporarily increased by the Amendment to 4.25 times trailing twelve months EBITDA during the period from September 30, 2020 through and including December 31, 2021), adjusted for certain non-cash expenses and which may be further adjusted, at our discretion, to include up to $120 million (increased from $80 million pursuant to the Amendment) of cash restructuring charges through December 31, 2021; and (2) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to interest of 3.5 times (as the aforementioned terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement and we had $24.5 million of borrowings outstanding and $675.5 million of additional availability. There were $500.0 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

The Company continues to assess the expected conditions in its primary end markets, including the effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Because the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, the effects of the pandemic could materially affect our availability to borrow under the Credit Agreement and our compliance with the maximum leverage ratio covenant of the Credit Agreement. To offset some of the uncertainty related to COVID-19, we obtained an Amendment to the Credit Agreement during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as described above. We expect to access the capital markets to refinance the $300 million 3.875 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due February 2022 during the current fiscal year. In the event that a refinancing does not occur before the February 2022 maturity date, management believes that the Company will have the ability to repay the February 2022 Notes with projected cash on hand and availability under the Credit Agreement. However, the Company can provide no assurance of this due in part, but not limited to, the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. If over the course of the next year, market conditions do not improve or further deteriorate, the Company may need to take one or a combination of the following additional actions to ensure the Company has adequate access to liquidity and remains in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio covenant of the Credit Agreement, both of which are within the Company’s control: implement additional short-term cost-control actions and undertake new restructuring programs. We have concluded that we will remain in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement and, as a result, will have adequate access to liquidity to satisfy our obligations within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $643.5 million and $630.2 million at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market prices for similar debt instruments as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

11.ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

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

We establish and maintain accruals for certain potential environmental liabilities. At December 31, 2020, the balance of these accruals was $15.0 million, of which $2.6 million was current. At June 30, 2020, the balance was $15.6 million, of which $6.1 million was current. The balances as of December 31, and June 30, 2020 include the Company’s resolution of an environmental indemnity claim against the seller of a prior acquisition for which receivables are also recorded in other current and long-term assets. These accruals represent anticipated costs associated with potential remedial requirements and are generally not discounted.

The accruals 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 accruals 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 accrued 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.

12.INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were 39.0 percent (benefit on income) and 87.9 percent (benefit on a loss), respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to the effects of changes in projected pretax income in both periods, lower projected pre-tax income in the current year and geographical mix. The prior year rate included a discrete $14.5 million benefit for the one-time effect of Swiss tax reform and the effects from the impairment of Widia goodwill.

Table of Contents

KENNAMETAL INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The effective income tax rates for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were 93.3 percent (benefit on a loss) and 102.9 percent (benefit on a loss), respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to the effects of lower projected pre-tax income in the current period and geographical mix. The prior year rate included a discrete $14.5 million benefit for the one-time effect of Swiss tax reform and the effects from the impairment of Widia goodwill.

Swiss tax reform

Legislation was effectively enacted during the three months ended December 31, 2019 when the Canton of Schaffhausen approved the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing on October 8, 2019 (Swiss tax reform). Significant changes from Swiss tax reform include the abolishment of certain favorable tax regimes and the creation of a ten-year transitional period at both the federal and cantonal levels.

The transitional provisions of Swiss tax reform allow companies to utilize a combination of lower tax rates and tax basis adjustments to fair value, which are used for tax depreciation and amortization purposes resulting in deductions over the transitional period. To reflect the federal and cantonal transitional provisions, as they apply to us, we recorded a deferred tax asset of $14.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019. We consider the deferred tax asset from Swiss tax reform to be an estimate based on our current interpretation of the legislation, which is subject to change based on further legislative guidance, review with the Swiss federal and cantonal authorities and modifications to the underlying valuation. We expect such reviews with the relevant tax authorities will be finalized during the current fiscal year. There have been no material changes to the recorded deferred tax asset since inception.

13.EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that 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.

During the three months ended December 31, 2019 and the six months ended December 31, 2020, the effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested performance awards and unvested restricted stock units was anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss in the period and therefore has been excluded from diluted shares outstanding as well as from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

The following table provides the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and the six months ended December 31, 2019:


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended December 31, 2020	Six Months Ended December 31, 2019

Weighted-average shares outstanding during period	83,582	82,979
Add: Unexercised stock options and unvested restricted stock units	615	639
Number of shares on which diluted earnings per share is calculated	84,197	83,618
Unexercised stock options with an exercise price greater than the average market price and restricted stock units not included in the computation because they were anti-dilutive	386	641

16.GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Fiscal 2020 Impairment Charge

In the December quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company experienced deteriorating market conditions, primarily in general engineering and transportation applications in India and China, in addition to overall global weakness in the manufacturing sector. In view of these declining conditions and the significant detrimental effect on cash flows and actual and projected revenue and earnings compared with the prior annual impairment test, we determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred and performed an interim quantitative impairment test of our goodwill, indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset and other long-lived assets of our former Widia reporting unit. We evaluated the recoverability of goodwill for the reporting unit by comparing its carrying value with the fair values determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based upon historical and projected financial information. As a result of this test, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2019 of $14.6 million in the former Widia segment, which is now part of the Metal Cutting segment as of July 1, 2020, of which $13.1 million was for goodwill and $1.5 million was for an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. These impairment charges are recorded in restructuring and asset impairment charges in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Divestiture Impact on Other Intangible Assets

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we completed the sale of certain assets of the non-core specialty alloys and metals business within the Infrastructure segment, see Note 3. As a result of this transaction, other intangibles decreased by $12.5 million in our Infrastructure segment. This decrease was recorded in the loss on divestiture account in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

A summary of the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each segment, as well as the changes in such carrying amounts, is as follows:


(in thousands)	Metal Cutting		Infrastructure		Total
Gross goodwill	$	448,241	$	633,211	$	1,081,452

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 offerings span metal cutting 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 metal cutting 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 $440.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 decreased 13 percent year-over-year, reflecting 14 percent organic sales decline and a 1 percent decline from divestiture, partially offset by a 1 percent favorable currency exchange effect and a favorable impact of 1 percent from more business days. However, sales improved sequentially this quarter by approximately 10 percent, which outpaced the typical seasonal trend.

Operating income was $19.0 million compared to operating loss of $47.6 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change of $66.7 million was due primarily to lower restructuring and related charges of $46.7 million, lower raw material costs of approximately $29 million, approximately $23 million of incremental simplification/modernization benefits, cost-control measures and no goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges or losses on divestiture in the current year quarter, partially offset by organic sales decline and unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes. Operating margin was a positive 4.3 percent compared to a negative 9.4 percent in the prior year quarter. The Metal Cutting and Infrastructure segments had operating margins of 4.8 percent and 4.0 percent, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in China at the end of calendar year 2019 bringing significant uncertainty in our end markets and operations. National, regional and local governments have taken steps to limit the spread of the virus through stay-at-home, social distancing, and various other orders and guidelines. The imposition of these measures has created significant operating constraints on our business. Recognizing the potential for COVID-19 to significantly disrupt operations, we began to deploy safety protocols and processes globally during the March quarter of fiscal 2020 to keep our employees safe while continuing to serve our customers. In fiscal 2020 and through the first half of fiscal 2021, we did not experience a material disruption in our supply chain. We expect COVID-19 will continue to have a negative effect on customer demand in fiscal 2021 as a result of the disruption and uncertainty it is causing most acutely in the energy, aerospace and transportation end markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to affect our business, operating results, financial condition, or liquidity in the future will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease.

In connection with the Company's simplification/modernization initiative, we remain on track for $180 million of expected simplification/modernization savings by the end of fiscal 2021. FY21 Restructuring Actions are expected to deliver annualized savings of $65 million to $75 million, and the expected pre-tax charges are $90 million to $100 million. We recorded $4.2 million of pre-tax restructuring and related charges in the quarter, and total incremental benefits related to simplification/modernization initiatives were approximately $23 million in the current quarter, which includes incremental restructuring savings of approximately $17 million. The Company achieved annualized total savings inception to date from our simplification/modernization initiatives of $145 million.

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

Current quarter earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.23 was unfavorably affected by restructuring and related charges of $0.04 per share, partially offset by differences in annual projected tax rates of $0.11 per share. The loss per diluted share (LPS) of $0.07 in the prior year quarter included restructuring and related charges of $0.55 per share, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $0.16 per share and loss on divestiture of $0.06 per share, partially offset by a discrete benefit from Swiss tax reform of $0.18 per share and differences in annual projected tax rates of $0.35 per share. The prior year quarter per share amounts have been recast to separately present the effect of the differences in projected annual tax rates during the period.

We generated net cash flows from operating activities of $67.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $87.1 million during the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures were $68.6 million and $147.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, with the decrease primarily related to lower capital spending on our simplification/modernization initiative.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

SALES

Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were $440.5 million, a decrease of $64.6 million, or 13 percent, from $505.1 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in sales was driven by a 14 percent organic sales decline and a 1 percent decline from divestiture, partially offset by a 1 percent favorable currency exchange impact and a favorable business day effect of 1 percent.

Sales for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $840.8 million, a decrease of $182.4 million, or 18 percent, from $1,023.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease in sales was driven by a 17 percent organic sales decline and a 1 percent decline from divestiture.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $121.5 million, a decrease of $10.5 million from $132.0 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to an organic sales decline and unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes, partially offset by lower raw material costs and incremental simplification/modernization benefits. Gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was 27.6 percent, as compared to 26.1 percent in the prior year quarter.

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was $226.6 million, a decrease of $44.4 million from $271.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to an organic sales decline and unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes, partially offset by lower raw material costs and incremental simplification/modernization benefits. Gross profit margin for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was 27.0 percent, as compared to 26.5 percent in the prior year period.

OPERATING EXPENSE

Operating expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $97.8 million compared to $107.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Operating expense for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was $191.1 million compared to $221.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. Both decreases were primarily due to incremental simplification/modernization benefits and cost control measures.

We invested further in technology and innovation during the current quarter to continue delivering high quality products to our customers. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $9.3 million and $10.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $18.1 million and $20.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

FY20 Restructuring Actions

FY21 Restructuring Actions

In the September quarter of fiscal 2020, we announced the initiation of restructuring actions in Germany associated with our simplification/modernization initiative, which are expected to reduce structural costs. Subsequently, we also announced the acceleration of our structural cost reduction plans including the closing of the Johnson City, Tennessee facility. Estimated annualized benefits of the FY21 Restructuring Actions are $65 million to $75 million and the expected pre-tax charges are $90 million to $100 million. Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $74.7 million were recorded for this program through December 31, 2020, consisting of: $68.5 million in Metal Cutting and $6.2 million in Infrastructure. The majority of the remaining charges related to the FY21 Restructuring Actions are expected to be in the Metal Cutting segment. Inception to date, we have achieved annualized savings of approximately $48 million related to the FY21 Restructuring Actions.

Restructuring and Related Charges Recorded

Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset Impairment Charges

We recorded non-cash pre-tax intangible asset impairment charges of $14.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019. See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

LOSS ON DIVESTITURE

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020 increased to $8.3 million compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended December 30, 2019. Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2020 increased to $18.9 million compared to $15.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. Both increases were primarily due to the increase in borrowings under the Credit Agreement in the current periods.

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased to $3.9 million from $4.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019. Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2020 increased to $7.9 million from $6.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2019.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW

Effective July 1, 2020, as a result of a change in commercial strategy, organizational structure, and the way performance is assessed and resources are allocated, the Industrial and Widia businesses were combined to form one Metal Cutting business. The Infrastructure business remained unchanged. Therefore, we currently operate in two reportable segments consisting of Metal Cutting and Infrastructure. Our reportable operating segments have been determined in accordance with our internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities, the manner in which we organize segments for allocating resources, making operating decisions and assessing performance and the availability of separate financial results. We do not allocate certain corporate expenses related to executive retirement plans, our Board of Directors, strategic initiatives, and certain other costs and report them in Corporate. Our reportable operating segments do not represent the aggregation of two or more operating segments.

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

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, Metal Cutting sales decreased 13 percent from the prior year quarter due to the effects of COVID-19 on global manufacturing activity. Aerospace end market sales declined in all regions due to a significant reduction in airplane manufacturing. Transportation end market sales declined in all regions except for the Americas, which had slight growth in the quarter. Sales in our general engineering end market declined in all regions except for Asia Pacific, which had slight growth in the quarter. The general engineering end market continued to be impacted by lower manufacturing activity related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Energy sales decreased primarily due to a decline in oil and gas drilling in the Americas, partially offset by continued strength in wind power generation in China. On a regional basis, the sales decrease in the Americas was driven by declines in the general engineering, aerospace and energy end markets, partially offset by an increase in sales in the transportation end market, while the sales decrease in EMEA was driven by declines in all four end markets. The sales decrease in Asia Pacific was primarily driven by declines in the transportation and aerospace end markets, offset by increases in sales in both the general engineering and energy end markets.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, Metal Cutting operating income was $13.7 million compared to operating loss of $35.2 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was driven primarily by lower restructuring and related charges of $45.7 million, approximately $15 million of incremental simplification/modernization benefits, lower raw material costs of $7 million, cost-control measures and no goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges in the current year quarter, partially offset by organic sales decline and unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Metal Cutting sales decreased 18 percent from the prior year period due to the effects of COVID-19 on global manufacturing activity. Aerospace end market sales declined in all regions due to a significant reduction in airplane manufacturing. Transportation end market sales declined in all regions due to continued weakness in auto build rates caused by a slowdown in auto sales. Sales in our general engineering end market declined in all regions as a result of continued lower manufacturing activity related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Energy sales decreased primarily due to a decline in oil and gas drilling in the Americas, partially offset by continued strength in wind power generation in China. On a regional basis, the sales decrease in the Americas was driven by declines in all four end markets, while the sales decrease in EMEA was primarily driven by declines in the general engineering, aerospace and transportation end markets, in addition to a slight decline in the energy end market. The sales decrease in Asia Pacific was primarily driven by declines in the transportation end market, in addition to declines in the aerospace and general engineering end markets, offset by an increase in sales in the energy end market.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Metal Cutting operating loss was $9.9 million compared to $15.9 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year change was driven primarily by lower raw material costs, incremental simplification/modernization benefits, cost-control measures, lower restructuring and related charges of $26.0 million and no goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges in the current period, partially offset by organic sales decline and unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, Infrastructure sales decreased by 13 percent from the prior year quarter. The U.S. oil and gas market drove year-over-year decline in the energy market with U.S. land rig counts down approximately 63 percent compared to the prior year quarter. Earthworks end market sales were down year-over-year due to softness in mining in the Americas and Asia Pacific and construction in the Americas. The sales decline in general engineering was driven by economic decline and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Americas and EMEA. On a regional basis, the sales decrease in the Americas was primarily driven by declines in the energy end market, and to a lesser extent, declines in the earthworks and general engineering end markets. The sales decrease in EMEA was driven by a decline in general engineering. The increase in Asia Pacific was driven primarily by the general engineering end market, partially offset by a decline in the earthworks end market.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, Infrastructure operating income was $6.3 million compared to operating loss of $11.6 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was driven primarily by lower raw material costs of $22 million, approximately $5 million of simplification/modernization benefits, cost-control measures and no loss on divestiture in the current year quarter, partially offset by organic sales decline and unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Infrastructure sales decreased by 17 percent from the prior year period. The U.S. oil and gas market drove year-over-year decline in the energy market with U.S. land rig counts down approximately 68 percent compared to the prior year period. The sales decline in general engineering was driven by economic decline and impact from the COVID-19 pandemic in the Americas and EMEA. Earthworks end market sales were down year-over-year due to softness in mining in the Americas, and to a lesser extent, Asia Pacific and EMEA. On a regional basis, the sales decrease in the Americas was primarily driven by declines in the energy end market, and to a lesser extent, declines in the general engineering and earthworks end markets, while in EMEA, the sales decrease was driven primarily by a decline in general engineering. The increase in sales in Asia Pacific was driven primarily by growth in both the general engineering and energy end markets, partially offset by a decline in the earthworks end market.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Infrastructure operating income was $13.5 million compared to operating loss of $14.3 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year change was driven primarily by lower raw material costs, simplification/modernization benefits, cost-control measures and no loss on divestiture in the current year period, partially offset by organic sales decline and unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations is the primary source of funding for our capital expenditures. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, cash flow provided by operating activities was $67.4 million, primarily due to the net inflow from cash earnings.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into the First Amendment (the Amendment) to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 21, 2018, (as amended by the Amendment, the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement is a five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility and is used to augment cash from operations and as 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.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, average daily borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were approximately $237.5 million. We had $24.5 million and $500.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

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.

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

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 requested and were granted a stay and are not currently required 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 by as much as €36 million, or $44 million, including penalties and interest of €21 million, or $26 million. A trial date has not yet been set by the Italian court.

At December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $103.2 million, Total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,279.2 million and total debt was $628.7 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, 2020.

We are also closely monitoring the rapidly evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations, financial results and financial position and on the industries in which we operate.

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities

During the six months ended December 31, 2020, cash flow provided by operating activities was $67.4 million, compared to $87.1 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 $80.0 million and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $12.7 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accrued income taxes of $24.5 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $22.5 million and a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $13.4 million. Partially offsetting these cash outflows was a decrease in inventories of $46.7 million.

During the six months ended December 31, 2019, cash flow provided by operating activities consisted of net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $86.8 million and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an inflow of $0.3 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $64.5 million and a decrease in inventories of $34.3 million. Partially offsetting these cash inflows were changes in accrued income taxes of $53.0 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $28.5 million and a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $12.1 million.

Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities

Cash flow used for investing activities was $67.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $123.7 million for the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for investing activities primarily included capital expenditures, net of $67.7 million, which consisted primarily of expenses related to our simplification/modernization initiatives and equipment upgrades.

For the six months ended December 31, 2019, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $146.7 million, which consisted primarily of expenses related to our simplification/modernization initiatives and equipment upgrades, partially offset by proceeds from divestiture of $24.0 million from the sale of certain assets of the non-core specialty alloys and metals business located in New Castle, Pennsylvania.

Cash Flow Used for Financing Activities

Cash flow used for financing activities was $512.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $38.7 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for financing activities included $475.5 million of a net decrease in the revolving and other lines of credit and $33.3 million of cash dividends paid to Kennametal Shareholders.

For the six months ended December 31, 2019, cash flow used for financing activities included $33.1 million of cash dividends paid to Kennametal Shareholders and $5.6 million of the effect of employee benefit and stock plans and dividend reinvestment.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital was $546.0 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $3.3 million from $542.7 million at June 30, 2020. The increase in working capital was primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable of $37.2 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $30.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in inventory of $25.2 million. Also offsetting the increase in working capital is the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and revolving and other lines of credit and notes payable primarily related to paying down outstanding borrowings on the Credit Agreement during the current fiscal year. Currency exchange rate effects increased working capital by a total of approximately $36 million, the impact of which is included in the aforementioned changes.

Property, plant and equipment, net increased $35.2 million from $1,038.3 million at June 30, 2020 to $1,073.5 million at December 31, 2020, primarily due to capital additions of approximately $64.0 million and a positive currency exchange impact of approximately $31 million, partially offset by depreciation expense of $55.5 million and disposals of $4.5 million.

At December 31, 2020, other assets were $592.7 million, an increase of $34.2 million from $558.5 million at June 30, 2020. The primary drivers for the increase was an increase in other assets of $22.4 million primarily due to an increase in pension plan assets and an increase in goodwill of $10.9 million due to favorable currency exchange effects.

Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,279.2 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $49.3 million from $1,229.9 million at June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to favorable currency exchange effects of $71.9 million and capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $10.2 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid to Kennametal Shareholders of $33.3 million and net loss attributable to Kennametal of $2.3 million.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2020.

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 measures. 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. We believe 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 decline Organic sales decline is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales decline (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) excluding the effects 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 decline at the consolidated and segment levels.

Constant currency end market sales decline Constant currency end market sales decline is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales decline (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) by end market excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We note that, unlike organic sales decline, constant currency end market sales decline does not exclude the effect 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 decline at the consolidated and segment levels.

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

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures since June 30, 2020.


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, 2020 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.
