Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 3, 2015, Kennametal Inc. (Kennametal or the Company) issued an earnings announcement for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2015.
The press release contains certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. The following GAAP financial measures have been presented on an adjusted basis: gross profit and margin, operating expense, operating expense as a percentage of sales, operating income and margin, net (loss) income, diluted loss per share (LPS) and diluted earnings per share (EPS), effective tax rate, Industrial operating income and margin and Infrastructure operating (loss) income and margin. Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2015 include restructuring and related charges and divestiture-related charges. Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2014 include restructuring and related charges. Management adjusts for these items in measuring and compensating internal performance and to more readily compare the Company’s financial performance period-to-period. The press release also contains free operating cash flow which is a non-GAAP measure and is defined below.
Management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about the results of operations of the Company for the current and past periods. Management believes that investors should have available the same information that management uses to assess operating performance, determine compensation and assess the capital structure of the Company. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Free Operating Cash Flow
Free operating cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as cash provided by operations (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) less capital expenditures plus proceeds from disposals of fixed assets. Management considers free operating cash flow to be an important indicator of Kennametal’s cash generating capability because it better represents cash generated from operations that can be used for dividends, debt repayment, strategic initiatives, and other investing and financing activities.
Additionally, during our quarterly earnings teleconference we may use various non-GAAP financial measures to describe the underlying operating results. Accordingly, we have compiled below certain reconciliations as required by Regulation G. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Debt to Capital
Debt to Capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by Kennametal as total debt divided by the sum of total equity plus total debt. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is debt to equity, which is defined as total debt divided by total equity. Management believes that Debt to Capital provides additional insight into the underlying capital structure and performance of the Company.

Primary Working Capital
Primary working capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as accounts receivable, net plus inventories, net minus accounts payable. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is working capital, which is defined as current assets less current liabilities. We believe primary working capital better represents Kennametal’s performance in managing certain assets and liabilities controllable at the segment level and is used as such for internal performance measurement.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On October 30, 2015, Kennametal Inc. (Kennametal or the Company) signed a definitive agreement with Madison Industries to sell its outstanding capital stock of: Kennametal Extrude Hone Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kennametal Stellite S.r.l. (Bellusco, Italy), Kennametal Stellite S.p.A. (Milan, Italy), Kennametal Stellite GmbH (Koblenz, Germany); and all of the assets of the businesses of: Tricon (manufacturing operations in Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; and Elko, Nevada), Landis (manufacturing operation in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania); and all of the assets located at the Biel, Switzerland manufacturing facility. This disposition is in line with Kennametal’s previously announced strategy to rationalize non-core businesses. The sale, which is expected to close in the Company's fiscal second quarter, remains subject to negotiated conditions of closing.

In connection with this transaction, Kennametal expects to receive consideration of approximately $70 million. The Company expects to record an after-tax charge ranging from approximately $100 million to $120 million in connection with the transaction. Such charge will be recorded during the Company’s fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2015.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company in connection with the transaction is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., (November 3, 2015) – Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) today reported results for the 2016 fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2015, with a loss per diluted share (LPS) of $0.08, compared with the prior year quarter EPS of $0.49. Adjusted EPS were $0.14 in the current quarter compared with $0.56 in the prior year quarter.

Kennametal also announced today that the company has signed a definitive agreement to sell several non-core businesses related to certain castings, steel-plate fabrication and deburring for an aggregate price of approximately $70 million in cash. Transaction proceeds are expected to be used for debt reduction. The transaction is anticipated to close within the company's fiscal second quarter, and the after-tax loss on the sale is currently estimated to be in the range of approximately $100 million to $120 million.

“We remain focused on what we can control and continue to execute our strategy to concentrate on our core businesses and deliver benefits from realigning our cost structure, adjusting our footprint and simplifying our portfolio,” said Don Nolan Kennametal President and CEO. “We are on track to achieve our restructuring goals and made a significant step in our portfolio alignment announcing that we have entered into an agreement to sell several non-core businesses representing approximately $220 million in annual revenue. This transaction is expected to be accretive to our operating margin upon closing.”





Fiscal 2016 First Quarter Key Developments
 
Sales were $555 million, compared with $695 million in the same quarter last year. Sales decreased by 20 percent, reflecting a 13 percent organic decline due to weakening in our served end markets and a 7 percent unfavorable currency exchange impact.

On a combined basis, pre-tax restructuring and related charges were $15 million, or $0.14 per share, and pre-tax benefits were approximately $21 million, or $0.20 per share in the quarter. In the same quarter last year, pre-tax restructuring and related charges were $7 million, or $0.07 per share, and pre-tax benefits were approximately $5 million, or $0.04 per share.

Operating income was $7 million, compared with operating income of $61 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted operating income was $22 million, compared with $68 million a year ago. The decrease in adjusted operating results in the current period was primarily driven by organic sales decline, lower fixed cost absorption, unfavorable mix, and unfavorable currency exchange, offset partially by restructuring benefits and lower raw material costs. Adjusted operating margin was 3.9 percent in the current period and 9.9 percent in the prior period.

The reported effective tax rate (ETR) was negative 292.8 percent (provision on a loss) and the adjusted ETR was 26.2 percent (provision on income). The difference between the reported and adjusted ETR was primarily due to a discrete tax charge taken in the quarter related to the divestiture of non-core assets. For the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the reported ETR was 26.5 percent (provision on income) and the adjusted ETR was 26.4 percent (provision on income).

LPS was $0.08, compared with the prior year quarter EPS of $0.49. Adjusted EPS were $0.14 in the current quarter and $0.56 in the prior year quarter.

The company realized free operating cash flow of $3 million compared with $21 million in the same period last year. The decrease in free operating cash flow was primarily attributable to lower cash earnings, net of tax, higher cash payments for other liabilities and higher capital expenditures, partially offset by improved working capital management.

Segment Developments for the Fiscal 2016 First Quarter
 
Industrial segment sales of $313 million decreased 17 percent from $378 million in the prior year quarter due to unfavorable currency exchange of 9 percent and organic decline of 8 percent. Excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales decreased approximately 32 percent in energy, approximately 9 percent in general engineering, approximately 5 percent in transportation and approximately 2 percent in aerospace and defense. Energy end market activity continued to be weak, impacting the general engineering end market where the company believes there was destocking in the indirect channel, particularly in the Americas. Lower sales activity in the transportation end market was driven by lower light vehicle production levels in China. On a segment regional basis, sales decreased 15 percent in the Americas, 6 percent in Asia and 1 percent in Europe.





Industrial segment operating income was $20 million compared with $44 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $26 million compared to $49 million in the prior year quarter, driven by organic sales decline, lower fixed cost absorption and unfavorable business mix, partially offset by restructuring program benefits and lower raw material costs. Industrial adjusted operating margin was 8.4 percent compared with 13.1 percent in the prior year.

Infrastructure segment sales of $242 million decreased 24 percent from $317 million in the prior year. The decrease was driven by 19 percent organic sales decline and 5 percent unfavorable currency exchange. Excluding the impact of currency exchange, sales decreased by approximately 31 percent in energy, approximately 24 percent in general engineering and approximately 8 percent in earthworks. Sales were lower year-over-year due to persistent weak demand in oil and gas, underground mining and general engineering. On a segment regional basis, sales decreased 27 percent in the Americas, 11 percent in Asia and 1 percent in Europe.

Infrastructure segment operating loss was $9 million, compared with operating income of $19 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Adjusted operating loss was $3 million compared to adjusted operating income of $21 million in the prior year quarter. The change in adjusted operating results was primarily due to lower organic sales, lower fixed cost absorption and unfavorable business mix, partially offset by the benefits of the restructuring savings and lower raw material costs.

Reconciliations of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the tables attached, and corresponding descriptions are contained in the company’s report on Form 8-K, to which this news release is attached.

Restructuring Programs

The previously announced restructuring programs are expected to produce combined annual ongoing pre-tax permanent savings of $115-$135 million. In total, pre-tax charges for these initiatives are expected to be approximately $185-$205 million.

Outlook
The depth and duration of the downturn in the company's served end markets coupled with recent macroeconomic concerns has weakened the company's fiscal 2016 outlook. The company now expects fiscal 2016 total sales to decline in the range of 10 to 14 percent and organic sales to decline in the range of 6 to 10 percent. Previously, the decline in total sales was projected to be in the range of 7 to 9 percent, with a decline in organic sales of 1 to 3 percent.

Kennametal now expects consolidated adjusted EPS to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.70 for the full fiscal year. Top line softness is expected to negatively impact the company’s original guidance by $0.65 to $0.70 per share, including the negative impact of mix. Better than anticipated currency, taxes and other are expected to be a benefit to prior EPS guidance of $0.20 to $0.25 per share. In order to partially offset the impact of top line softness, the company has implemented cost reductions which are expected to generate between $0.20 and $0.25 per share of cost savings in the remainder of the fiscal year. In addition, these additional cost reductions will position Kennametal for stronger profitable growth in the future when end market demand improves.

The company still expects to generate cash flow from operations between $275 million and $310 million for fiscal 2016. Based on anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $160 million to $175 million, the company expects to generate between $115 million and $135 million of free operating cash flow for the fiscal year.





The company expects the divestiture impact to be approximately $125 million less in fiscal 2016 sales and operating EPS neutral. The transaction will be immediately accretive to our operating margin. This impact from the sale of non-core businesses has not been reflected in Kennametal’s current sales guidance.

Kennametal remains committed to maintaining investment-grade credit ratings. Cash from operations, as well as any working capital reductions, will be used primarily for the purpose of debt reduction in the near term. The company’s longer-term capital allocation process will continue to include disciplined capital investments in the business, as well as returning cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Dividend Declared
Kennametal also announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend is payable November 24, 2015 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2015.
The company will discuss its fiscal 2016 first quarter results in a live webcast at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time today, November 3, 2015. This event will be broadcast live on the company’s website, www.kennametal.com. To access the webcast, select "About Us", “Investor Relations” and then “Events.” A recorded replay of this event also will be available on the company’s website through December 3, 2015.

Certain statements in this release may be forward-looking in nature, or “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. For example, statements about Kennametal’s outlook for earnings, sales volumes, and cash flow for fiscal year 2016 and our expectations regarding future growth and financial performance are forward-looking statements. Any forward looking statements are based on current knowledge, expectations and estimates that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, our actual results could vary materially from our current expectations. There are a number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. They include: economic recession; our ability to achieve all anticipated benefits of restructuring initiatives; our foreign operations and international markets, such as currency exchange rates, different regulatory environments, trade barriers, exchange controls, and social and political instability; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate, including environmental, health and safety regulations; potential for future goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges; our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property; continuity 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; energy costs; commodity prices; labor relations; and implementation of environmental remediation matters. Many of these risks and other risks are more fully described in Kennametal’s latest annual report on Form 10-K and its other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We can give no assurance that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

In addition to reported results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the following financial highlight tables include, where appropriate, a reconciliation of adjusted results including: gross profit and margin, operating expense, operating expense as a percentage of sales, operating income and margin, net (loss) income, diluted (LPS) EPS, effective tax rate, Industrial operating income and margin, Infrastructure operating (loss) income and margin and free operating cash flow (which are non-GAAP financial measures), to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. For those adjustments that are presented ‘net of tax’, the tax effect of the adjustment can be derived by calculating the difference between the pre-tax and the post-tax adjustments presented. The tax effect on adjustments is calculated by preparing an overall tax calculation including the adjustments and then a tax calculation excluding the adjustments. The difference between these calculations results is the tax impact of the adjustments.
Management believes that investors should have available the same information that management uses to assess operating performance, determine compensation and assess the capital structure of the company. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the attached tables and descriptions of certain non-GAAP financial measures are contained in our report on Form 8-K to which this release is attached.
