TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.
