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: uncertainties related to changes in macroeconomic and/or global conditions, including as a result of increased inflation and Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions on Russia; uncertainties related to the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of more contagious or virulent strains of the virus, its impacts on our business operations, financial results and financial position and on the industries in which we operate and the global economy generally, including as a result of travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions associated with the pandemic; other economic recession or inflationary pressures; our ability to achieve all anticipated benefits of restructuring, simplification and modernization initiatives; Commercial Excellence growth initiatives, Operational Excellence initiatives, our foreign operations and international markets, and the impact on our business of currency exchange rates, different regulatory environments, trade barriers, exchange controls, and social and political instability, including the conflict in Ukraine; 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. 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 subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, 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, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2022 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 nine months ended March 31, 2023 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 2023 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. 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 year ended June 30, 2020, 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 year ended June 30, 2020 was $6.5 million. Transaction proceeds were primarily used for capital expenditures related to our simplification/modernization efforts. During the year ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $1.0 million on the New Castle divestiture due to proceeds held in escrow until November 2021.

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.
There were no derivatives designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022. The fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

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) Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA), Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (TIBOR), Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), and Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) for any borrowings in euros, pounds sterling, yen, U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars, respectively, 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 2027.
The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including one financial covenant: a maximum leverage ratio where debt, net of domestic cash in excess of $25 million and sixty percent of the unrestricted cash held outside of the United States, must be less than or equal to 3.75 times trailing twelve months EBITDA, adjusted for certain non-cash expenses.
As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all the covenants of the Credit Agreement and we had $62.6 million of borrowings outstanding and $637.4 million of additional availability. We had $19.0 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2022.
Borrowings on other lines of credit and notes payable were $1.5 million and $2.2 million at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, 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 sites associated with our current or former operations.
We establish and maintain accruals for estimated liabilities associated with certain environmental matters. At March 31, 2023, the balance of such accruals was $12.1 million, of which $1.7 million was current. At June 30, 2022, the balance was $12.5 million, of which $7.9 million was current. The decrease in the current balances reflects adjustments in estimated completion timelines based on currently available information, while the composition of such accruals remains largely unchanged. These accruals are generally not discounted.
We record a loss contingency when the available information indicates it is probable that we have incurred a liability and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular environmental matter is often difficult to predict, and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on information available. When a material loss contingency is probable but a reasonable estimate cannot be made, or when a material loss contingency is at least reasonably possible, disclosure is provided. The accruals we have established for estimated environmental liabilities represent our best current estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable costs of addressing 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. 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 or the courts on these matters.
Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), under which we have been identified by the USEPA or other third party as a PRP with respect to environmental remedial costs at certain Superfund sites. We have evaluated our claims and estimated liability associated with these sites based upon the best information currently available to us. We believe our environmental accruals are adequate to cover our portion of the environmental remedial costs at the 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 March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 24.4 percent and 28.3 percent, respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to geographical mix.
The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 23.9 percent and 27.2 percent, respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to geographical mix and a $2.2 million tax benefit recorded in the second quarter of the current year related to Swiss tax reform.
Swiss tax reform
Swiss tax reform legislation was effectively enacted during the December quarter of fiscal 2020 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 multi-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, 2020. We considered the deferred tax asset from Swiss tax reform to be an estimate based on our interpretation of the legislation, which was subject to change based on further legislative guidance, review with the Swiss federal and cantonal authorities, and modifications to the underlying valuation. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we finalized the calculation of the transitional provisions of Swiss tax reform after a review and receipt of a ruling from the Swiss federal and cantonal authorities and recorded a $2.2 million tax benefit to adjust the deferred tax asset and income tax liabilities related to fiscal years 2021 and 2022.

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 table provides the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

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 growth, constant currency regional sales growth (decline) and constant currency end market sales growth (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 $536.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 increased 5 percent year-over-year, reflecting 8 percent organic sales growth and a favorable business days effect of 1 percent, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency effect of 4 percent.
Operating income was $52.5 million compared to $53.4 million in the prior year quarter. The slight year-over-year decrease of $0.9 million was primarily due to higher raw material costs of approximately $20 million, under-absorption of approximately $5 million within the Infrastructure segment, higher wages, general inflation and unfavorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $3 million. These factors were offset by higher price realization and, in the Metal Cutting segment, higher sales volumes. Operating margin was 9.8 percent compared to 10.4 percent in the prior year quarter. The Metal Cutting and Infrastructure segments had operating margins of 13.1 percent and 4.8 percent, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic bringing significant uncertainty in our end markets and operations. Since then, many jurisdictions have eased or eliminated stay-at-home, social distancing, and various other restrictions implemented at the onset of the pandemic, as the administration and acceptance of vaccines has increased and COVID-19 cases have dropped. One of the last countries to ease pandemic-control measures was China, which in December 2022 announced it would be rolling back some of its most strict anti-COVID-19 restrictions, including lockdowns, mask mandates and travel restrictions. The slow recovery in China, temporary labor shortages due to COVID-19 related absenteeism in certain regions and other supply chain challenges have created significant operating constraints on our business.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 resulted in the imposition of economic sanctions on Russia by the United States, Canada, the European Union and other countries. We have experienced increased costs for energy and raw materials and other supply chain issues due, in part, to the negative impact of the conflict on the global economy. During the March quarter of 2022, the Company ceased operations in Russia and subsequently decided to liquidate its legal entity in Russia, which is expected to be completed during fiscal 2024.
In addition, our business has been negatively affected by foreign currency exchange and inflationary headwinds. We have been able to partially mitigate the effects of inflation, foreign currency exchange challenges and other disruptions through price increases on our products. We cannot predict the ultimate effect of these issues on our business, operating results or financial condition, but we will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and attempt to mitigate the negative effect to the extent possible.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased $7 million and $37 million, respectively, of Kennametal common stock under its $200 million three-year program. Inception-to-date the Company has repurchased $123 million of Kennametal common stock.

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


The Company paid $16 million and $48 million in cash dividends to Kennametal shareholders during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has a long history of consistently paying dividends to shareholders since its listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 1967.
Current quarter earnings per diluted share (EPS) was $0.39. EPS of $0.42 in the prior year quarter was unfavorably affected by restructuring and related charges of $0.03 per share and charges related to Russian and Ukrainian operations of $0.02 per share.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $126.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $93.0 million during the prior year period. Capital expenditures were $71.1 million and $60.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
SALES
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $536.0 million, an increase of $23.8 million, or 5 percent, from $512.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in sales was driven by organic growth of 8 percent and a favorable business days effect of 1 percent, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency effect of 4 percent.
Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 were $1,527.9 million, an increase of $45.5 million, or 3 percent, from $1,482.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in sales was driven by organic growth of 10 percent, partially offset by an unfavorable currency exchange effect of 7 percent.

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $167.9 million, an increase of $3.3 million from $164.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher price realization and, in the Metal Cutting segment, higher sales volumes. These factors were partially offset by higher raw material costs of approximately $20 million, under-absorption of approximately $5 million within the Infrastructure segment, higher wages, general inflation and unfavorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $6 million. Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 31.3 percent, as compared to 32.1 percent in the prior year quarter.
Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was $470.8 million, a decrease of $7.6 million from $478.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to higher raw material costs of approximately $61 million, unfavorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $30 million, higher wages and general inflation, including an inflationary bonus of $2 million for certain German employees, under-absorption of approximately $10 million within the Infrastructure segment, temporary supply chain disruptions of approximately $5 million and depreciation of approximately $2 million due to the decision to scrap certain assets. These factors were partially offset by higher price realization and higher sales volumes. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was 30.8 percent, as compared to 32.3 percent in the prior year period.

OPERATING EXPENSE
Operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $113.3 million compared to $107.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Operating expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was $327.3 million compared to $316.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increases in both periods were primarily due to higher wages and general inflation, partially offset by foreign currency exchange.
Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $11.3 million and $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $32.6 million and $31.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased to $7.7 million compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily related to higher market interest rates. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased to $21.4 million compared to $19.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was due to increased amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement and higher market interest rates.
OTHER EXPENSE/INCOME, NET
Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.0 million compared to other income of $4.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Other expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was $2.6 million compared to other income of $11.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The changes for both periods were due primarily to lower net periodic pension income in the current year.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 24.4 percent and 28.3 percent, respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to geographical mix.
The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 23.9 percent and 27.2 percent, respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to geographical mix and a $2.2 million tax benefit recorded in the second quarter of the current year related to Swiss tax reform and geographical mix.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW
We 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 March 31, 2023, Metal Cutting sales increased 6 percent compared to the prior year quarter. This was driven by organic growth of 10 percent and a favorable business days effect of 1 percent, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency effect of 5 percent. Aerospace end market sales increased as a result of our focused execution on our strategic initiatives, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange. Sales in the general engineering end market increased in all regions as strong underlying demand continues, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange, our exit from Russia and a slower recovery in China from COVID-related disruptions. Energy end market sales increased as the customer year-end inventory rebalancing activities subsided, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange. Transportation end market sales benefited from improving customer supply chains and hybrid/electric vehicle business in the Americas and EMEA, the effects of which were offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange. On a regional basis, sales in the Americas increased primarily due to the continued broad and resilient demand of our end markets. Sales growth in EMEA reflects the execution on our strategic initiatives, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange. Sales in Asia Pacific were negatively affected by a slower recovery in China from COVID-related disruptions and unfavorable foreign currency exchange.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Metal Cutting operating income was $43.8 million compared to $30.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher price realization, higher sales volumes and a gain of approximately $1 million on a property sale. These factors were partially offset by higher raw material costs of approximately $7 million, higher wages and unfavorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $2 million.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, Metal Cutting sales increased 2 percent compared to the prior year period. This was driven by organic growth of 10 percent, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency effect of 8 percent. Aerospace end market sales increased as a result of our focused execution on our strategic initiatives, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange. Sales in the general engineering end market increased in all regions as strong underlying demand continues, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange, our exit from Russia and a slower recovery in China from COVID-related disruptions.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, Metal Cutting operating income was $98.6 million compared to $87.3 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher price realization, higher sales volumes and a gain of approximately $3 million on property sales. These factors were partially offset by higher raw material costs of approximately $19 million, higher wages and general inflation, including an inflationary bonus of $2 million for certain German employees, unfavorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $12 million and depreciation including approximately $2 million due to the decision to scrap certain assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Infrastructure sales increased by 2 percent from the prior year quarter. The increase in sales was driven by organic growth of 5 percent, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency effect of 3 percent. Energy end market sales increased primarily due to strength in U.S. oil and gas and as land rig counts continue to increase, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange. Sales in the general engineering end market increased in EMEA due to strong demand, which was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange and lower demand in the Americas primarily due to the loss of a customer who elected to insource production. Earthworks end market sales increased in Asia Pacific as underlying demand in underground mining continues to be strong, the effects of which were offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange and order timing in the Americas. On a regional basis, sales in EMEA increased in all end markets, primarily in general engineering, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange. Sales increased in Asia Pacific primarily in earthworks and to a lesser extent general engineering, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange and a decline in the energy end market. Sales in the Americas increased in energy, the effects of which were offset by decreases in general engineering and earthworks and unfavorable foreign currency exchange.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Infrastructure operating income was $9.7 million compared to $23.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to higher raw material costs of approximately $13 million, under-absorption of approximately $5 million, general inflation and lower sales volumes. These factors were partially offset by higher price realization.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, Infrastructure sales increased by 4 percent from the prior year period. The increase in sales was driven by organic growth of 9 percent, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency effect of 4 percent and an unfavorable business days effect of 1 percent. Energy end market sales increased primarily due to strength in U.S. oil and gas and as land rig counts continue to increase, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange. Sales in the general engineering end market increased in EMEA due to strong demand, which was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange and lower demand in the Americas primarily due to the loss of a customer who elected to insource production. Earthworks end market sales increased in Asia Pacific as underlying demand in underground mining continues to be strong, the effects of which were offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange and order timing in the Americas.

Sales increased in Asia Pacific primarily in earthworks and to a lesser extent general engineering, the effects of which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange and a decline in the energy end market. Sales in the Americas increased in energy, the effects of which were offset by decreases in general engineering and earthworks and unfavorable foreign currency exchange.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, Infrastructure operating income was $40.5 million compared to $69.7 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to higher raw material costs of approximately $41 million, higher wages and general inflation, under-absorption of approximately $10 million, temporary supply chain disruptions and unfavorable foreign currency exchange of approximately $4 million. These factors were partially offset by higher price realization and sales volume growth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow from operations is the primary source of funding for our capital expenditures. For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, cash flow provided by operating activities was $126.2 million.
During fiscal 2022, we entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 14, 2022 (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement is a five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, which we use 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) Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA), Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (TIBOR), Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), and Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) for any borrowings in euros, pounds sterling, yen, U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars, respectively, 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 2027.
The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including one financial covenant: a maximum leverage ratio where debt, net of domestic cash in excess of $25 million and sixty percent of the unrestricted cash held outside of the United States, must be less than or equal to 3.75 times trailing twelve months EBITDA, adjusted for certain non-cash expenses.
As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all the covenants of the Credit Agreement and we had $62.6 million of borrowings outstanding and $637.4 million of additional availability. We had $19.0 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2022.
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 tax authority served notice in the September quarter of fiscal 2020 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 €35.5 million, or $38.6 million, including penalties and interest of €20.8 million, or $22.6 million.
At March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $93.5 million. Total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,276.0 million and total debt was $659.0 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, 2022.

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, cash flow provided by operating activities was $126.2 million, compared to $93.0 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 $204.4 million and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $78.2 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $46.3 million, an increase in inventories of $17.3 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $16.4 million and a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $7.0 million.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, cash flow provided by operating activities consisted of net income and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $221.0 million and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an outflow of $127.9 million. Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were an increase in inventories of $99.5 million due to higher material costs, lengthening supply chains and higher sales volumes, a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $20.3 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $17.8 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $11.4 million. Partially offsetting these cash outflows was an increase in accrued income taxes of $14.7 million.
Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities
Cash flow used in investing activities was $66.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $58.3 million for the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used in investing activities primarily included capital expenditures of $71.1 million, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades, partially offset by disposals of property, plant, and equipment of $4.8 million.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, cash flow used in investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $59.4 million, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades, partially offset by $1.0 million in proceeds from the New Castle divestiture.
Cash Flow Used in Financing Activities
Cash flow used in financing activities was $50.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $87.8 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used in financing activities primarily included $48.5 million of cash dividends paid to Kennametal Shareholders, $37.6 million in common shares repurchased and $6.0 million of the effect of employee benefit and stock plans and dividend reinvestment, partially offset by $43.6 million from the borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, cash flow used in financing activities included $50.5 million in common shares repurchased, $50.1 million of cash dividends paid to Kennametal Shareholders, $7.1 million of a decrease in notes payable and $6.9 million of the effect of employee benefit and stock plans and dividend reinvestment, partially offset by $27.5 million from the borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working capital was $590.3 million at March 31, 2023, an increase of $51.2 million from $539.1 million at June 30, 2022. The increase in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts payable of $30.7 million, an increase in inventories of $24.3 million, and increase in accounts receivable of $18.5 million, a decrease in other current liabilities of $10.4 million, a decrease in accrued expenses of $9.5 million and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $7.9 million, partially offset by an increase in revolving and other lines of credit and notes payable to banks of $42.9 million and an increase in accrued income taxes of $12.1 million. Currency exchange rate effects increased working capital by a total of approximately $6.4 million, the effect of which is included in the aforementioned changes.
Property, plant and equipment, net decreased $27.1 million from $1,002.0 million at June 30, 2022 to $974.9 million at March 31, 2023, primarily due to depreciation expense of $91.7 million, partially offset by net capital additions of $66.3 million and foreign currency effects of $5.4 million.
At March 31, 2023, other assets were $549.6 million, an increase of $2.9 million from $546.8 million at June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in other assets of $10.7 million, an increase in goodwill of $4.6 million due to currency exchange effects and an increase in deferred income taxes of $2.8 million, partially offset by amortization of intangibles of $9.5 million and a decrease in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets of $6.0 million.

Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $1,276.0 million at March 31, 2023, an increase of $23.4 million from $1,252.6 million at June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to net income attributable to Kennametal of $82.0 million, other comprehensive income of $14.7 million and capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $12.6 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid to Kennametal Shareholders of $48.5 million and the repurchase of capital stock of $37.6 million primarily under the share repurchase program that was initiated during fiscal 2022.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2022.

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 growth Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (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 on a consistent basis. Also, we report organic sales growth at the consolidated and segment levels.
Constant currency end market sales growth Constant currency end market sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (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 growth, constant currency end market sales growth 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 growth at the consolidated and segment levels.
Constant currency regional sales growth Constant currency regional sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales growth (decline) (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 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 growth (decline) on a consistent basis. Also, we report constant currency regional sales 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, 2022.
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 March 31, 2023 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.
