FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance or events. We have also included forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning, among other things, our strategy, goals, plans and projections regarding our financial position, liquidity and capital resources, results of operations, market position and product development. These statements are based on current estimates that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, our actual results could vary materially from our current expectations. There are a number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. They include: 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 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; 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. 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.

KENNAMETAL INC.

1. ORGANIZATION
Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943. Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Kennametal or the Company) are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We believe that our reputation for manufacturing excellence, as well as our technological expertise and innovation we deliver in our products and services, helps us to achieve a leading position in our primary markets. End users of our products include metalworking and machinery manufacturers and suppliers across a diverse array of industries, including the aerospace, defense, transportation, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery, as well as producers and suppliers in a number of equipment-intensive industries such as coal mining, road construction and quarrying, as well as oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply. Our end users' applications range from airframes to mining operations, engines to oil wells and turbochargers to processing.
In order to take advantage of the growth opportunities of our WIDIA brand, we implemented a new operating structure.
A key attribute of the new structure is the establishment of the WIDIA operating segment. In order to better leverage the opportunities that lie in this business, in addition to being more agile and competitive in the marketplace, we are placing higher levels of focus, determination and leadership in the business. The Industrial and WIDIA segments in 2017 were formed from the 2016 Industrial segment. We now have three global reportable operating segments: Industrial, WIDIA, and Infrastructure.
 
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements, which include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim statements are unaudited; however, we believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods were made and all adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 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 2017 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 . When used in this Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adopted
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The amendments in this guidance require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position, in comparison to the previous practice of separating deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts on the balance sheet. We adopted this guidance July 1, 2016 on a prospective basis. Therefore, prior period balance sheets were not retrospectively adjusted. Current deferred tax assets of $26.7 million and current deferred tax liabilities of $0.6 million are reported in the June 30, 2016 balance sheet.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This guidance was effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2016 and was retrospectively applied to all periods presented. Debt issuance costs of $5.7 million and $6.0 million are reported as direct reductions of the carrying amounts of debt liabilities in the balance sheet as of September 30, and June 30, 2016 , respectively.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about treatment of costs as either capitalized and amortized as an intangible asset or expensed as incurred as a service contract. The amendments provide clarification that costs in arrangements that include software license should be capitalized and amortized, and costs in arrangements that do not include a software license should be expensed as incurred. This standard was effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2016 and was applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Issued
In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flow. The guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This guidance is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2018. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable.
As of September 30, 2016 , the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:

  (1) Currency derivatives are valued based on observable market spot and forward rates and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

There have been no changes in classification and transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy in the current period. The fair value of contingent consideration payable that was classified as Level 3 at June 30, 2016 related to our probability assessments of expected future milestone targets, primarily associated with product delivery, related to a previous acquisition. During the the three months ended September 30, 2016 , the Company paid the remaining  $6.6 million  in conjunction with achieved milestone targets. The contingent consideration was recorded in other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016. No other changes in the expected outcome have occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016 .
 
6.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As part of our financial risk management program, we use certain derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes. We account for derivative instruments as a hedge of the related asset, liability, firm commitment or anticipated transaction, when the derivative is specifically designated and qualifies as a hedge of such items. Our objective in managing foreign exchange exposures with derivative instruments is to reduce volatility in cash flow. We measure hedge effectiveness by assessing the changes in the fair value or expected future cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portions are recorded in other expense, net.
The fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

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

CASH FLOW HEDGES
Range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold) are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts at maturity are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized as a component of other expense, net when the underlying sale of products or services is recognized into earnings. The notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 , was $71.5 million and $53.3 million , respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at September 30, 2016 , we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months an immaterial amount of income on outstanding derivatives.
The following represents gains and losses related to cash flow hedges:

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
We are implementing restructuring actions to streamline the Company's cost structure. These initiatives are expected to improve the alignment of our cost structure with the current operating environment through headcount reductions; rationalization and consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities; enhancement of operational efficiencies through an enterprise-wide cost reduction program; and other employment and cost reduction programs. These restructuring actions are expected to be completed by December of fiscal 2019 and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures.
The total pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be in the range of $155 million to $175 million , which is expected to be approximately 60 percent Industrial, 5 percent WIDIA, 30 percent Infrastructure and 5 percent Corporate. Total restructuring and related charges since inception of $102.8 million have been recorded for these programs through September 30, 2016 : $54.3 million in Industrial, $33.0 million in Infrastructure, $8.6 million in WIDIA and $6.9 million in Corporate.
We have recorded restructuring and related charges of $31.7 million and $15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $28.6 million and $9.1 million , respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , an immaterial amount of restructuring charges was related to inventory disposals and were recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring-related charges of $2.0 million and $1.6 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $1.1 million and $4.4 million in operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Under the provisions of the Kennametal Inc. Stock and Incentive Plan of 2010 as amended and restated on October 22, 2013 and as further amended January 27, 2015, plan participants may deliver stock, owned by the holder for at least six months, in payment of the option price and receive credit for the fair market value of the shares on the date of delivery. The fair market value of shares delivered during both the  three  months ended  September 30, 2016 and 2015  was immaterial.

Restricted Stock Units – Time Vesting and Performance Vesting
Performance vesting restricted stock units are earned pro rata each year if certain performance goals are met over a three -year period and are also subject to a service condition that requires the individual to be employed by the Company at the vesting date after the three -year performance period, with the exception of retirement eligible grantees, who upon retirement are entitled to vest in any units that have been earned, including a prorated portion in the partially completed fiscal year in which the retirement occurs. Time vesting stock units are valued at the market value of the stock on the grant date. Performance vesting stock units with a market condition are valued using a Monte Carlo model.

INVENTORIES
We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 45 percent and 44 percent of total inventories at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 , respectively. Since inventory valuations under the LIFO method are based on an annual determination of quantities and costs as of June 30 of each year, the interim LIFO valuations are based on our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

LONG-TERM DEBT
The five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2016 (Credit Agreement) permits revolving credit loans of up to $600 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2016 . We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 . Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement matures in April 2021.
Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $709.0 million and $704.0 million at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 , respectively. The Level 2 fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 , respectively.

12. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The operation of our business has exposed us to certain liabilities and compliance costs related to environmental matters. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at certain of our locations.
Superfund Sites Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund), under which we have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as a potentially responsible party (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.

Table of Contents

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


Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 , the balances of these reserves were $12.5 million . These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.
The reserves we have established for 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 USEPA, other governmental agencies and by the PRP groups in which we are participating. Although the reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these environmental liabilities, there are uncertainties associated with environmental liabilities, and we can give no assurance that our estimate of any environmental liability will not increase or decrease in the future. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and direction taken by the government on these matters.
We maintain a Corporate Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have designated EHS coordinators who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

13.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were 29.9 percent (provision on a loss) and 292.8 percent (provision on a loss) , respectively. The change was primarily driven by a discrete tax charge in the prior year quarter for the sale of non-core businesses and a loss in the U.S. in the current quarter for which we could not record a tax benefit due to a full valuation allowance on our U.S deferred tax assets as of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

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 and restricted stock units. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options and restricted stock units.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , the effects of unexercised capital stock options and unvested restricted stock units were anti-dilutive as a result of net losses in the periods and therefore have been excluded from diluted shares outstanding as well as from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. We perform our annual impairment tests during the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process, unless there are impairment indicators based on the results of an ongoing cumulative qualitative assessment that warrant a test prior to that. We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill for each of our reporting units by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The fair values of our reporting units are determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based upon historical and projected financial information. We apply our best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of the financial projections used to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. We evaluate the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected financial information. This evaluation is sensitive to changes in market interest rates and other external factors.
Identifiable assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , we reorganized our operating structure in a manner that changed the composition of our reporting units. The Industrial and WIDIA reporting units in fiscal 2017 were formed from the fiscal 2016 Industrial reporting unit. In connection with this reporting unit realignment, during the three months ended September 30, 2016 we updated our goodwill impairment assessment based on a quantitative analysis. We evaluated the goodwill of our reporting units immediately prior to and after the realignment and concluded in both cases that there was no impairment. We allocated our goodwill from the former Industrial segment to the current Industrial and WIDIA segments using a relative fair value approach. The restated Industrial reporting unit passed the goodwill impairment test with fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value. The new WIDIA reporting unit's fair value approximates its carrying value.
See Note 18 for further discussion regarding the Company's segments.
We are currently exploring strategic alternatives for one of our non-core Infrastructure businesses. The estimated net book value of the business is approximately $30 million as of September 30, 2016 . As the strategic direction has not yet been determined for this business, the Company cannot determine if additional impairment charges will be incurred.

SEGMENT DATA
Kennametal delivers productivity to customers seeking peak performance in demanding environments by providing innovative custom and standard wear-resistant solutions. To provide these solutions, we harness our knowledge of advanced materials and application development with a commitment to environmental sustainability. Our product offering includes a wide selection of standard and customized technologies for metalworking, such as sophisticated metal cutting tools, tooling systems and services, as well as advanced, high-performance materials, such as cemented tungsten carbide products, super alloys, coatings and investment castings to address customer demands. We offer these products through a variety of channels to meet customer-specified needs.
The Company's reportable operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company's internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities, the manner in which we organize segments for 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, the Company’s Board of Directors and strategic initiatives, as well as certain other costs and report them in Corporate. None of our three reportable operating segments represent the aggregation of two or more operating segments.
The Industrial segment generally serves customers that operate in industrial end markets such as transportation, general engineering and aerospace and defense, delivering high performance metalworking tools for specified purposes. The customers in these end markets manufacture engines, airframes, automobiles, trucks, ships and various types of industrial equipment. The technology and customization requirements for customers we serve vary by customer, application and industry. The value we deliver to our Industrial segment customers centers on our application expertise and our diverse offering of products and services, with products delivered through a diverse base including direct and indirect channels.
The WIDIA segment generally serves customers that operate in industrial end markets, primarily in general engineering, delivering high performance metalworking tools for general purposes. Whereas the Industrial segment's core is in application expertise and specific customer needs, WIDIA offers a competitive alternative for general metal cutting solutions across a broader platform for application, with products delivered primarily through indirect channels.
The Infrastructure segment generally serves customers that operate in the earthworks and energy sectors who support primary industries such as oil and gas, power generation, underground, surface and hard-rock mining, highway construction and road maintenance. Generally, we rely on customer intimacy to serve this segment. By gaining an in-depth understanding of our customers’ engineering and development needs, we are able to offer complete system solutions and high-performance capabilities to optimize and add value to their operations.

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


OVERVIEW

Kennametal Inc. is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. We deliver productivity solutions to customers seeking peak performance in demanding environments. The Company provides innovative wear-resistant products, application engineering and services backed by advanced material science serving customers across diverse sectors of industrial production, transportation, earthworks, energy, construction, process industries and aerospace. Kennametal solutions are built around industry-essential technology platforms, including precision-engineered metalworking tools and components, surface technologies and earth cutting tools that are mission-critical to customer operations battling extreme conditions associated with wear fatigue, corrosion and high temperatures. The Company’s reputation for material and industrial technology excellence, as well as expertise and innovation in development of custom solutions and services, contributes to its leading position in its primary industrial and infrastructure markets. End users of the Company’s products include manufacturers, metalworking suppliers, machinery operators and processors engaged in a diverse array of industries, including the manufacture of transportation vehicles and components; machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery industries; airframe and aerospace components, defense; as well as producers and suppliers in equipment-intensive operations such as coal mining, road construction, quarrying, oil and gas exploration, refining, production and supply. We believe we are one of the largest global providers of consumable metal cutting tools and tooling supplies.
Our sales of $477.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 decreased 14 percent compared to sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 . Sales were in line with expectations. The Industrial segment grew organically for the first time since December of fiscal 2015. Infrastructure comparables, while still difficult, are expected to get easier going forward. Although the WIDIA segment requires improvement, we are focused on re-establishing and growing the WIDIA brand across the globe.
Operating loss was $9.2 million , compared to operating income of $6.6 million in the prior year quarter. Year-over-year comparative operating results reflect incremental restructuring and related charges, the negative impacts of unfavorable mix in all segments, organic sales decline and higher employment-related costs, offset by the positive effects of lower raw material costs, incremental restructuring benefits and slightly better productivity. Our cost reduction initiatives are mitigating challenging end market conditions. We have identified 75 percent of the targeted employment reduction of 1,000, corresponding to approximately 65 percent of the estimated annualized savings associated with this initiative.
The permanent savings that we are realizing from restructuring are the result of programs that we have undertaken over the past 21 months. Pre-tax benefits from these restructuring actions were approximately $18 million in the current quarter, of which approximately $9 million were incremental to the same quarter one year ago. Refer to the Results of Continuing Operations section of Item 2 for further discussion and analysis of our restructuring programs.
We reported current quarter loss per diluted share of $0.27 , which includes $0.38 per share of restructuring and related charges. Loss per diluted share of $0.08 in the prior year quarter included $0.14 per share of restructuring and related charges and $0.08 per share of divestiture-related charges. Overall results were mostly in-line with our expectations, with the exception of the tax rate variation driven primarily by jurisdictional mix and statutory profitability by geography.
We generated cash flow from operating activities of $21.9 million and $38.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The decrease is due primarily to lower cash earnings and comparatively lower reductions in primary working capital, partially offset by lower payments for taxes and pensions. Capital expenditures were $42.3 million and $37.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.
We invested further in technology and innovation to continue meeting our customers' needs. Research and development expenses included in operating expense totaled $10.3 million and $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 , and 2015 respectively.
The following narrative provides further discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, as well as other pertinent matters.

NEW OPERATING STRUCTURE IMPLEMENTED IN FISCAL 2017

In order to take advantage of the growth opportunities of our WIDIA brand, we implemented a new operating structure in 2017.

Table of Contents

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



A key attribute of the new structure is the establishment of the WIDIA operating segment. In order to better leverage the opportunities that lie in this business, in addition to being more agile and competitive in the marketplace, we are placing higher levels of focus, determination and leadership in the business. Industrial and WIDIA in 2017 were formed from the 2016 Industrial segment. We now have three reportable operating segments going forward: Industrial, WIDIA and Infrastructure.
In connection with this change, we updated our goodwill impairment assessment based on a quantitative analysis during the three months ended September 30, 2016 . We evaluated the goodwill of our reporting units immediately prior to and after the realignment and concluded in both cases that there was no impairment. We allocated our goodwill from the former Industrial segment to the current Industrial and WIDIA segments using a relative fair value approach. The restated Industrial reporting unit passed the goodwill impairment test with fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value. The new WIDIA reporting unit's fair value approximates its carrying value. The amount of goodwill allocated to the WIDIA reporting unit is $27.0 million .
We completed Step 1 of the WIDIA goodwill impairment test using both an income approach and a market approach.  The discounted cash flow method was used to measure the fair value of our equity under the income approach. A terminal value utilizing a constant growth rate of cash flows was used to calculate a terminal value after the explicit projection period. The estimates and assumptions used in our calculations include revenue growth rates, expense growth rates, expected capital expenditures to determine projected cash flows, expected tax rates and an estimated discount rate to determine present value of expected cash flows. These estimates are based on historical experiences, our projections of future operating activity and our weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"). The discount rate used was 14.5 percent. In order to determine the discount rate, the Company uses a market perspective WACC approach. The WACC is calculated incorporating weighted average returns on debt and equity from market participants. Therefore, changes in the market, which are beyond the control of the Company, may have an impact on future calculations of estimated fair value. Management forecasts were used for the years ending June 30, 2017-2021, with a residual period growth rate of 3.0 percent. The tax rate used was 25.0 percent. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings of comparable publicly traded companies and comparable transactions of similar companies.
Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of our reporting units may include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, specifically, a decrease in sales volume driven by a prolonged weakness in consumer demand or other competitive pressures adversely affecting our long term volume trends, unfavorable working capital changes and an inability to successfully achieve our cost savings targets; (ii) inability to achieve all of the anticipated benefits from restructuring actions assumed; (iii) an economic recovery that significantly differs from our assumptions in timing and/or degree; (iv) volatility in the equity and debt markets or other country specific factors which could result in a higher discount rate; and (v) sensitivity to market transaction multiples.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

SALES
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $477.1 million , a decrease of $78.2 million or 14 percent , from $555.4 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in sales was driven by 9 percent decline from divestiture, organic decline of 3 percent and unfavorable currency exchange of 2 percent. Excluding the impact of currency exchange and divestiture, sales decreased by approximately 21 percent in earthworks and 8 percent in energy, offset by a 4 percent increase in aerospace and defense and 1 percent increases in both general engineering and transportation. On a regional basis excluding the impact of currency exchange and divestiture, sales decreased 7 percent in the Americas and 2 percent in Europe, offset by a 2 percent increase in Asia.

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $143.5 million , a decrease of $7.7 million from $151.2 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable business mix, organic sales decline, divestiture impact of $7.7 million and unfavorable currency exchange of $2.6 million, partially offset by lower raw material costs, incremental restructuring benefits of $4.0 million, and slightly better productivity. The gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 30.1 percent , as compared to 27.2 percent generated in the prior year quarter.

OPERATING EXPENSE
Operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $9.4 million or 7.3 percent to $119.9 million as compared to $129.2 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to divestiture impact of $6.3 million, incremental restructuring benefits of $5.7 million, $3.3 million less in restructuring-related charges and favorable foreign currency exchange impacts of $1.6 million, offset partially by $5.9 million higher employment-related costs.

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
We have recorded restructuring and related charges of $31.7 million and $15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Of these amounts, restructuring charges totaled $28.6 million and $9.1 million , respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , an immaterial amount of restructuring charges was related to inventory disposals and were recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring-related charges of $2.0 million and $1.6 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $1.1 million and $4.4 million in operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.
Total restructuring and related charges since the inception of our restructuring plans through September 30, 2016 were $102.8 million . See Note 7 in our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Note 7).
We are implementing restructuring actions to streamline the Company's cost structure. These initiatives are expected to improve the alignment of our cost structure with the current operating environment through headcount reductions; rationalization and consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities; enhancement of operational efficiencies through an enterprise-wide cost reduction program; and other employment and cost reduction programs. These restructuring actions are currently anticipated to deliver annual ongoing pre-tax savings of $140 million to $155 million once completed by December of fiscal 2019 and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures. The total pre-tax charges for these programs are expected to be in the range of  $155 million to $175 million .

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $7.0 million .

OTHER EXPENSE, NET
Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2016 , was $0.1 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a loss on the sale of assets in the prior year and transition services related to the divestiture of non-core businesses, partially offset by losses on derivatives and lower interest income.

INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were 29.9 percent (provision on a loss) and 292.8 percent (provision on loss) , respectively. The change was primarily driven by a discrete tax charge in the prior year quarter for the sale of non-core businesses and a loss in the U.S. in the current quarter for which we could not record a tax benefit due to a full valuation allowance on our U.S deferred tax assets as of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW

We operate three reportable segments consisting of Industrial, WIDIA, and Infrastructure. Expenses that are not allocated are reported in Corporate. Segment determination is based upon the manner in which we organize segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance and the availability of separate financial results.
Amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2015 for Industrial and WIDIA have been restated to reflect the change in reportable operating segments.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , Industrial sales remained flat, reflecting organic growth of 3 percent, offset by unfavorable currency exchange of 2 percent and divestiture impact of 1 percent. Excluding the impact of currency exchange and divestiture, sales increased approximately 6 percent in aerospace and defense, 5 percent in general engineering, and 1 percent in transportation, offset partially by a decrease of approximately 11 percent in energy. Activity in the aerospace sector remains elevated with sales growing globally. General engineering sales in Americas and Asia have benefited from stability in the indirect channel stock levels, offsetting the general industrial weakness caused by the continued decline in the energy sector. The transportation market was mixed with more projects contributing to higher sales in Asia, partially offset by less favorable conditions in Europe and Americas. On a segment regional basis excluding the impact of divestiture and currency exchange, sales increased 7 percent in Asia and 4 percent in the Americas, offset partially by a decrease of 1 percent in Europe. The sales increase in Asia was primarily driven by the transportation and general engineering end markets and to a lesser extent the aerospace and defense end market, partially offset by a decrease in the energy end market. The sales increase in the Americas was primarily driven by the performance in the general engineering end market and to a lesser extent in the aerospace and defense end market, partially offset by decreases in the energy and transportation end markets. The sales decrease in Europe was primarily driven by the performance in the transportation and energy end markets, offset partially by an increase in the aerospace and defense end market, while general engineering remained flat.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , Industrial operating income decreased by $15.9 million , driven primarily by $13.3 million more restructuring and related charges, $5.1 million higher employment-related costs and unfavorable mix, partially offset by incremental restructuring benefits of $6.1 million and organic sales growth. Industrial operating margin was 2.1 percent compared with 7.9 percent in the prior year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , Infrastructure sales decreased by 31 percent , reflecting a 20 percent decline due to divestiture, a 10 percent organic sales decline and a 1 percent unfavorable currency exchange impact. Excluding the impact of currency exchange and divestiture, sales decreased by approximately 22 percent in earthworks, 6 percent in energy and 4 percent in general engineering. Key energy markets, particularly in North America, continued to see contraction in the first quarter, with U.S. rig counts declining over 40 percent year-over-year. In addition, conditions in underground mining in North America declined further, with sales down 36 percent year-over-year. As previously disclosed, this weakness is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. On a segment regional basis excluding the impact of divestiture and currency exchange, sales decreased 16 percent in the Americas, 8 percent in Asia and 3 percent in Europe. The sales decrease in the Americas was driven by decreases in earthworks, energy and general engineering end markets. The sales decrease in Asia was driven primarily by the performance in the earthworks end market, offset partially by an increase in the general engineering end market. The sales decrease in Europe was primarily driven by decreases in energy and general engineering end markets, and to a lesser extent the earthworks end market.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , Infrastructure operating loss was $7.6 million compared to operating loss of $8.4 million for the prior year period. Operating loss for the current period decreased by $0.8 million , due primarily to lower raw material costs and incremental restructuring program benefits of $4 million, offset partially by lower organic sales, unfavorable mix and $4.3 million more restructuring and related charges. Infrastructure operating loss margin was 4.5 percent compared with 3.5 percent in the prior year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , Corporate unallocated expense decreased $3.3 million , or 69.8 percent , due to $3.3 million lower restructuring-related charges in the current period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations is the primary source of funding for capital expenditures and internal growth. Year to date September 30, 2016 cash flow provided by operating activities was $21.9 million , primarily driven by working capital improvements and cash earnings.
Our five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2016 (Credit Agreement) is used to augment cash from operations and as an additional source of funds. The Credit Agreement permits revolving credit loans of up to $600.0 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro, Canadian dollars, pound 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 April 2021. We had no borrowings outstanding on our Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2016 .
The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2016 . For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , average daily borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were approximately $3.3 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.
We consider the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that have not previously been taxed in the U.S. to be permanently reinvested. As of  September 30, 2016 , cash and cash equivalents of $41.2 million and short-term intercompany advances made by our foreign subsidiaries to our U.S. parent of $20.8 million would not be available for use in the U.S. on a long term basis without incurring U.S. federal and state income tax consequences. 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 or associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

At September 30, 2016 , cash and cash equivalents were $119.4 million , total debt was $695.4 million and total Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $937.1 million . Our current senior credit ratings are at investment grade levels. We believe that our current financial position, liquidity and credit ratings provide access to the capital markets. We believe that we have sufficient resources available to meet cash requirements for the next 12 months as of September 30, 2016 . 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 other material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2016 .
Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , cash flow provided by operating activities was $21.9 million , compared to $38.7 million for the prior year period. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the current year period consisted of net loss and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $14.4 million and changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an inflow of $7.5 million . Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $23.1 million due to lower sales volume . Offsetting these cash inflows were a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $5.6 million and a net decrease of accounts pa yable and accrued liabilities of $3.8 million primarily driven by lower accrued compensation, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.
During the three months ended September 30, 2015 , cash flow provided by operating activities for the period consisted of net loss and non-cash items amounting to an inflow of $57.4 million , and by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to an inflow of $18.7 million . Contributing to the changes in certain assets and liabilities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $35.5 million due to lower sales volume and a decrease in inventory of $20.3 million due to our continued focus on working capital management. Offsetting these cash flows were a decrease in accrued income taxes of $28.6 million primarily driven by payment of a capital gains tax related to a prior period tax reorganization; a decrease of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $27.8 million primarily driven by lower accrued compensation, payroll timing and lower restructuring liabilities; and a decrease in accrued pension and postretirement benefits of $11.4 million .
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Cash flow used for investing activities was $41.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 , compared to $35.4 million the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $41.1 million , which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015 , cash flow used for investing activities included capital expenditures, net of $35.3 million , which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades.
Cash Flow Used for Financing Activities
Cash flow used for financing activities was $23.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $12.3 million in the prior year period. During the current year period, cash flow used for financing activities included $16.0 million of cash dividends paid to Shareholders, a $6.6 million payment on the remaining contingent consideration related to a prior acquisition, $0.4 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans and $0.4 million net decrease in borrowings.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015 , cash flow used for financing activities included  $15.9 million  of cash dividends paid to Shareholders and $0.7 million  net decrease in borrowings. These cash flows were partially offset by $4.1 million of other financing activities and $0.4 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital was $589.3 million at September 30, 2016 , a decrease of $58.8 million from $648.1 million at June 30, 2016 . The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $42.2 million , a decrease in deferred income taxes of $26.7 million due to the impact of prospective adoption of a new accounting standard requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as long-term and a decrease in accounts receivable of $22.4 million due to lower sales volume. Partially offsetting these items were a decrease in accrued expenses of $13.2 million driven by payroll timing and lower accrued vacation pay, a decrease in accounts payable of $6.0 million as a result of both lower volumes and our focus on working capital management, and a decrease in other current liabilities of $5.8 million due primarily to the payment to relieve the remaining contingent consideration related to a prior year acquisition and lower accrued compensation, offset partially by higher restructuring liabilities. Currency exchange rate effects increased working capital by $1.5 million.
Property, plant and equipment, net increased $4.8 million from $730.6 million at June 30, 2016 to $735.4 million at September 30, 2016 , primarily due to capital expenditures of $42.3 million , which includes $15.4 million change in accounts payable related to purchases of property, plant and equipment, and currency exchange impact of $0.8 million during the current period. These increases were partially offset by depreciation expense of $23.2 million and disposals of $1.1 million .
At September 30, 2016 , other assets were $580.1 million , an increase of $23.3 million from $556.8 million at June 30, 2016 . The primary drivers for the increase were an increase in deferred income taxes of $21.4 million and an increase in other assets of $ 6.0 million , primarily attributable to an increase in pension plan assets. These increases were partially offset by $4.3 million decrease in other intangible assets, which was due to amortization expense of $4.3 million .
Long-term debt and capital leases increased by $0.5 million to $694.0 million at September 30, 2016 from $693.5 million at June 30, 2016 .
Kennametal Shareholders' equity was $937.1 million at September 30, 2016 , a decrease of $27.3 million from $964.3 million at June 30, 2016 . The decrease was primarily due to net loss attributable to Kennametal of $21.7 million and cash dividends paid to Shareholders of $16.0 million , partially offset by capital stock issued under employee benefit and stock plans of $6.9 million , reclassification of net pension and other postretirement benefit loss of $1.8 million and favorable currency exchange of $1.2 million .

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.
Superfund Sites Among other environmental laws, we are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund), under which we have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as a potentially responsible party (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.
Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 , the balances of these reserves were $12.5 million . These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues.
The reserves we have established for 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 USEPA, other governmental agencies, and by the PRP groups in which we are participating. Although the reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these environmental liabilities, there are uncertainties associated with environmental liabilities, and we can give no assurance that our estimate of any environmental liability will not increase or decrease in the future. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and direction taken by the government on these matters.

We maintain a Corporate Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department, to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have designated EHS coordinators who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2016 .

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of new accounting standards.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures since June 30, 2016 .
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). The Company's disclosure controls were designed to provide a reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance at September 30, 2016 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth in Part I, Item 1, under the caption “Regulation” of the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016 is incorporated into this Item 1. From time to time, we are party to legal claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, which may relate to our operations or assets, including real, tangible or intellectual property.

Exhibit 10.1
KENNAMETAL INC.

PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD

Grant Date: August 1, 2016

Kennametal Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to [NAME] (the “Awardee”), as of the Grant Date listed above, this Performance Unit Award (the “Award”) for [TARGET NUMBER OF STOCK UNITS] Stock Units, subject to the terms and conditions of the Kennametal Inc. Stock and Incentive Plan of 2010, as Amended and Restated on October 22, 2013, as further amended January 27, 2015 (the “Plan”) and the additional terms listed below. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

1. Each Stock Unit represents the right to receive one Share of the Company’s Capital Stock, par value $1.25 per share, subject to the satisfaction of the Service Condition described herein and the Performance Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A . Stock Units as initially awarded have no independent economic value, but rather are mere units of measurement used for purposes of calculating the number of Shares, if any, to be delivered under this Award. The maximum amount of Stock Units that may be earned under this Award is equal to two times the target number of Stock Units listed in the preamble above.

2. Except as otherwise provided in this Award, Awardee must be actively employed by the Company on the Payment Date (defined below) to be eligible to receive Shares in payment of any Stock Units earned under this Award (the “Service Condition”).

3. In addition to satisfaction of the Service Condition, payment under this Award is subject to, and contingent upon, achievement of the annual Performance Conditions during the Performance Period. The amount of this Award payable to Awardee will be determined by the level of achievement of the annual Performance Conditions as set forth in Exhibit A . Achievement of the Performance Conditions, including the level of achievement, if any, for each fiscal year in the Performance Period shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), in its sole discretion, and Awardee agrees to be bound by such determination; provided, however, the Compensation Committee shall not use its discretionary authority reserved to it under Section 6(g) of the Plan to reduce the number of Stock Units earned, if any, based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Award. For each fiscal year of the Performance Period, any Stock Units that are not earned will be cancelled and forfeited at the end of such fiscal year.

4. Issuance and Distribution.

a. At the end of each fiscal year of the Performance Period to which this Award relates, the Compensation Committee will certify in writing the extent to which the applicable annual Performance Conditions have been achieved. For purposes of this provision, and for so long as the Code permits, the approved minutes of the Committee meeting in which the certification is made may be treated as written certification.




b. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award and unless otherwise specifically provided herein, Stock Units earned by an Awardee will be settled and paid in Shares of the Company’s Capital Stock as soon as practicable following the end of the three-year Performance Period on a date determined in the Company’s discretion, but in no event later than the last day of the “applicable 2½ month period” specified in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4) (the “Payment Date”).

5. Change in Awardee’s Status; Change in Control.
a. Death or Disability . In the event an Awardee Separates from Service before the Payment Date on account of death or Disability, the Service Condition will be waived. For completed fiscal years, Awardee shall be entitled to receive payment for any Stock Units that have been earned based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions applicable to such fiscal year. For fiscal years not completed, the Performance Conditions will be deemed to have been achieved at the target level and the Awardee will be deemed to have earned for each such fiscal year a number of Stock Units that were able to be earned for such fiscal year.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award and unless otherwise specifically provided herein, in the event an Awardee Separates from Service on account of death or Disability, the Stock Units, to the extent earned by the Awardee, shall be paid as soon as practicable following the date of such Separation from Service, but in no event later than the last day of the “applicable 2½ month period” specified in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4).
b. Change of Control . In the event there is a Change in Control during the Performance Period, and unless otherwise specifically provided herein, payment under this Award will remain subject to the satisfaction of the Service Condition. For completed fiscal years prior to the Change in Control, Awardee shall remain eligible to receive payment for any Stock Units that have been earned based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions applicable to such fiscal year. For fiscal years not completed prior to the Change in Control, the Performance Conditions will be deemed to have been achieved at the target level and the Awardee will remain eligible to earn for each such fiscal year a number of Stock Units that were able to be earned for such fiscal year.
c. Change in Control Separation . In the event an Awardee Separates from Service prior to the Payment Date on account of an involuntary termination by the Company without cause or Awardee voluntarily terminates employment for Good Reason (as defined herein) (a) within the six-month period immediately preceding a Change in Control in contemplation of such Change in Control (and the Change in Control actually occurs) or (b) during the two-year period following a Change in Control (a “Change in Control Separation”), the Service Condition will be waived. For completed fiscal years prior to the Change in Control, Awardee shall be entitled to receive payment for any Stock Units that have been earned based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions applicable to such fiscal year. For fiscal years not completed prior to the Change in Control, the Performance Conditions will be deemed to have been achieved at the target level and the Awardee will be deemed to have earned for each such fiscal year a number of Stock Units that were able to be earned for such fiscal year.




Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award and unless otherwise specifically provided herein, in the event of an Change in Control Separation, the Stock Units, to the extent earned by the Awardee, shall be paid as soon as practicable following the date of such Change in Control Separation, but in no event later than the last day of the “applicable 2½ month period” specified in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4); provided that, in the Committee’s discretion, the Stock Units may be settled in cash and/or securities or other property.
The term “Good Reason” for purposes of this Award shall mean the occurrence of any of the following in connection with a Change in Control:
(i)      without the Awardee's express written consent, the material diminution of responsibilities or the assignment to the Awardee of any duties materially and substantially inconsistent with his positions, duties, responsibilities and status with Company immediately prior to a Change in Control, or a material change in his or her reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, or any removal of the Awardee from or any failure to re-elect the Awardee to any of such positions, except in connection with the termination of the Awardee's employment due to Cause (as hereinafter defined) or as a result of the Awardee’s death;
(ii)      a material reduction by Company in the Awardee's base salary as in effect immediately prior to any Change in Control;
(iii)      a failure by Company to continue to provide incentive compensation, under the rules by which incentives are provided, on a basis not materially less favorable to that provided by Company immediately prior to any Change in Control;
(iv)      a material reduction in the overall level of employee benefits, including any benefit or compensation plan, stock option plan, retirement plan, life insurance plan, health and accident plan or disability plan in which Awardee is actively participating immediately prior to a Change in Control (provided, however, that there shall not be deemed to be any such failure if Company substitutes for the discontinued plan, a plan providing Awardee with substantially similar benefits) or the taking of any action by Company which would adversely affect Awardee's participation in or materially reduce Awardee's overall level of benefits under such plans or deprive Awardee of any material fringe benefits enjoyed by Awardee immediately prior to a Change-in-Control;
(v)      the breach of this Agreement caused by the failure of Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successor; and
(vi)      the relocation of the Awardee to a facility or a location more than 50 miles from the Awardee's then present location, without the Awardee's prior written consent.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, in order for the Awardee to terminate for Good Reason: (a) the Awardee must give written notice to Company or its successor of the Awardee's intention to terminate employment for Good Reason within sixty (60) days after the event or omission which constitutes Good Reason, and any failure to give such written notice within such period will result in a waiver by the Awardee of his right to terminate for Good Reason as a result of such act or omission, (b) the event must remain uncorrected by the Company for thirty (30) days following such notice (the "Notice Period"), and (c) such termination must occur within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Notice Period.




d. Retirement . In the event a Retirement Eligible Awardee (as defined below) Separates from Service on account of Retirement during the Performance Period, the Service Condition will be waived and the amount of this Award to be paid, if any, will be determined as follows: For completed fiscal years, Awardee shall be entitled to receive payment for any Stock Units that have been earned based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions applicable to such Performance Period. For the fiscal year in which the Separation from Service occurs, the Awardee will be entitled to receive payment for a number of Stock Units determined by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Units that are earned based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions applicable to such fiscal year, times (y) the fraction equal to the number of completed months starting with July 1 st of the fiscal year in which the Separation from Service occurs and ending with the month of the Awardee’s Retirement, divided by the number of months within the period. All other Stock Units granted under this Award, including Stock Units that could have been earned for fiscal years after the fiscal year in which the Separation from Service occurred, shall be cancelled and forfeited without payment by the Company or any Affiliate.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award to the contrary, with respect to an Awardee who is or becomes eligible to Separate from Service on account of Retirement during the Performance Period (a “Retirement Eligible Awardee”), any payment made to such Retirement Eligible Awardee under this Award by reason of (i) a Separation from Service on account of death shall be paid in the month following the month containing the date of such Separation from Service; (ii) a Separation from Service on account of Disability shall be paid in the month following the month containing the 6-month anniversary of the date of such Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date specified in (iv) below); (iii) a Change in Control Separation shall be paid in the month following the month containing the 6-month anniversary of the date of such Change in Control Separation (or, if earlier, the date specified in (iv) below); or (iv) achievement of the annual Performance Conditions during the Performance Period as specified herein (and regardless of whether Retirement Eligible Awardee Separates from Service on account of Retirement) shall be paid in [August 20XX].
e. All Other Separations from Service . In the event an Awardee Separates from Service for any other reason (other than death, Disability, Retirement or Change in Control Separation), including, but not limited to, voluntarily by the Awardee, or involuntarily by the Company with or without cause, prior to the Payment Date, all Stock Units granted to the Awardee shall be cancelled and forfeited, whether payable or not, without payment by the Company or any Affiliate.

6. The Stock Units will be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents, which will be subject to all conditions and restrictions applicable to the underlying Stock Units to which they relate. Dividend Equivalents will accrue during the Performance Period. At the end of each fiscal year, Dividend Equivalents will be earned only for Stock Units that are earned or deemed earned under this Award for that fiscal year. With respect to Stock Units that are not earned for a fiscal year (because the applicable Performance Conditions are not satisfied or otherwise), Dividend Equivalents that were accrued for those Stock Units will be cancelled and forfeited along with the Stock Units and underlying Shares, without payment by the Company or any Affiliate. Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash at such time as the underlying Stock Units to which they relate are paid.

7. The Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated, gifted or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of prior to the Payment Date, except as described herein or in the Plan.





8. The Shares underlying the Stock Units shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Company may refuse to register a transfer of the Shares on the stock transfer records of the Company if the transfer constitutes a violation of any applicable securities law and the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Shares.

9. This Performance Unit Award is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (which deals with nonqualified deferred compensation) or an exception thereto and the regulations promulgated thereunder and will be construed accordingly. To the extent a payment is subject to Section 409A and not excepted therefrom, such payment shall be treated as made on the specified date of payment if such payment is made at such date or a later date in the same calendar year or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the specified date of payment, as provided and in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(d). An Awardee shall have no right to designate the date of any payment under this Award. The Company reserves the right to administer, amend or modify the Award or to take any other action necessary or desirable to enable the Award to be interpreted and construed accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Awardee acknowledges and agrees that Section 409A may impose upon the Awardee certain taxes or interest charges for which the Awardee is and shall remain solely responsible.

10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award or the Plan, in the event that this Award is not accepted by the Awardee on or before the date that is 180 days from the grant date noted herein (the “Forfeiture Date”), then this Award shall become null and void and all Stock Units subject to this Award shall be forfeited by the Awardee as of the Forfeiture Date. For acceptance to be valid, the Awardee must accept this Award in the manner specified by the Company. Any Shares underlying the Stock Units covered by this Award that are forfeited by the Awardee shall be returned to the Plan and resume the status of shares available for grant.

11. All other terms and conditions applicable to this Award are contained in the Plan. A copy of the Plan and related Prospectus is available on your accounts page at netbenefits.fidelity.com under Plan Information and Documents, as well as on The Hub under Human Resources.

The table above sets forth the three year period beginning July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2019 (“Performance Period”) referenced in the Performance Unit Award Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.

Interpolation between values shown in the above table will be made on a straight line basis. There will be no payment for performance below Threshold, and no additional payment for performance above Maximum.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award, up to 150% of the number of Stock Units granted pursuant to this agreement may be earned with regard to the ROIC component for the Performance Period (ROIC Earned Stock Units).

II. RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN (RELATIVE TSR) VESTING MULTIPLE COMPONENT:
(a) The total ROIC Earned Stock Units above may have a Relative TSR Vesting Multiple applied to them based on (i) the Corporation’s Total Shareholder Return, as described below, relative to the Peer Group’s (as set forth in Attachment) Total Shareholder Return for the cumulative three year performance period of time ending on June 30, 2019 (“Performance Period”) and (ii) satisfaction of the condition of employment, as set forth below.

(i) “Total Shareholder Return” (or “TSR”) over the Performance Period shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: ((Final Price + all cash dividends paid during the specified period, included as of the applicable ex-dividend date)/Initial Price) - 1, expressed as a percentage.

(ii) “Final Price” shall mean the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of each peer company and the Company for the final thirty trading days of the specified period plus all cash dividends paid during the final thirty (30) trading days. For purposes of this Agreement, this shall mean the final thirty (30) trading days in fiscal 2019.

(iii) “Initial Price” shall mean the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of each peer company and the Company for the last thirty (30) trading days preceding the beginning of the specified period plus all cash dividends paid during the last thirty (30) trading days. For purposes of this Agreement, the Initial Price shall be calculated based on the average of the closing stock prices over the thirty days ending on June 30, 2016.





(iv) The Company’s Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Period shall be measured as a percentile ranking in comparison with the index of the Peer Group Total Shareholder Return (the “Index”).

(b) The Relative TSR Vesting Multiple to be applied to the total number of ROIC Earned Stock Units to determine the total number of shares of Common Stock to be received pursuant to this agreement shall be the “Award Shares” and shall be calculated as follows:

If the Company’s TSR rank
against the Peer Group is:
Relative TSR Vesting Multiple
(% of ROIC Earned Stock Units)
at the 25th percentile (Threshold)
80%
at the 50th percentile (Target)
100%
at the 75th percentile or more (Maximum)
120%

The percentile rank calculation shall be calculated without including the Company.

The Relative TSR Vesting Multiple is based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Period relative to the Index.

The Relative TSR Vesting Multiple shall be interpolated on a straight-line basis between the percentile levels in the above table, but no amounts will be payable if the Company’s TSR rank against the Peer Group is below the Threshold level and no multiples over 120% will be applied if the Company’s TSR rank against the Peer Group is above the Maximum level.

The Index group companies shall consist of those companies that comprise the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index on the date of grant. A detailed list of the companies that comprise the Index as of July 11, 2016 is attached. Peer Group companies will be adjusted as follows for activity during the Performance Period:
●
If the Company or a member of the Peer Group splits its stock, such company’s TSR will be adjusted for the stock split

●
If a member of the Peer Group is acquired by another company, the acquired Peer Group company will be removed from the Peer Group for the entire Performance Period

●
If a member of the Peer Group sells, spins‐off, or disposes of a portion of its business representing more than 50% of such Company’s total assets during the Performance Period, such Company will be removed from the Peer Group

●
If a member of the Peer Group acquires another company, the acquiring Peer Group company will remain in the Peer Group for the Performance Period

●
If a member of the Peer Group is delisted on all major stock exchanges, such delisted company will be removed from the Peer Group for the entire Performance Period





●
Members of the Peer Group that file for bankruptcy, liquidation or similar reorganization during the Performance Period will remain in the Peer Group, positioned below the lowest performing nonbankrupt member of the Peer Group

Any adjustments resulting in the removal of a peer company will not impact completed measurement periods during an outstanding performance period.
The Compensation Committee shall have the authority to make adjustments in response to a change in circumstances that results in a member of the peer group no longer satisfying the criteria for which such member was originally selected.

Exhibit 10.2
KENNAMETAL INC.

PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD

(FOR PRESIDENT AND CEO)
Grant Date: August 1, 2016

Kennametal Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to [NAME] (the “Awardee”), as of the Grant Date listed above, this Performance Unit Award (the “Award”) for [TARGET NUMBER OF STOCK UNITS] Stock Units, subject to the terms and conditions of the Kennametal Inc. Stock and Incentive Plan of 2010, as Amended and Restated on October 22, 2013, as further amended January 27, 2015 (the “Plan”) and the additional terms listed below. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

1. Each Stock Unit represents the right to receive one Share of the Company’s Capital Stock, par value $1.25 per share, subject to the satisfaction of the Service Condition described herein and the Performance Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A . Stock Units as initially awarded have no independent economic value, but rather are mere units of measurement used for purposes of calculating the number of Shares, if any, to be delivered under this Award. The maximum amount of Stock Units that may be earned under this Award is equal to two times the target number of Stock Units listed in the preamble above.

2. Except as otherwise provided in this Award, Awardee must be actively employed by the Company on the Payment Date (defined below) to be eligible to receive Shares in payment of any Stock Units earned under this Award (the “Service Condition”). However, if the Awardee separates from service other than (i) termination for “cause” (as defined in the Plan); or (ii) breach of a restrictive covenant to which he may be bound by the Company from the Grant Date through the lapse date, the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse in accordance with the schedule set forth below:

•
Between the grant date and September 30, 2016 : forfeit all shares.

•
Between October 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016 : forfeiture of two-thirds of shares with the remaining one-third of shares to follow the normal vesting schedule as set forth in Exhibit A.

•
Between January 1, 2017 and March 17, 2017 : forfeiture of one-third of shares with the remaining two-thirds of shares to follow the normal vesting schedule as set forth in Exhibit A.

•
Upon turning age 65 on March 18, 2017 and thereafter : shares to follow the normal vesting schedule as set forth in Exhibit A.





3. In addition to satisfaction of the Service Condition, payment under this Award is subject to, and contingent upon, achievement of the annual Performance Conditions during the Performance Period. The amount of this Award payable to Awardee will be determined by the level of achievement of the annual Performance Conditions as set forth in Exhibit A . Achievement of the Performance Conditions, including the level of achievement, if any, for each fiscal year in the Performance Period shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), in its sole discretion, and Awardee agrees to be bound by such determination; provided, however, the Compensation Committee shall not use its discretionary authority reserved to it under Section 6(g) of the Plan to reduce the number of Stock Units earned, if any, based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Award. For each fiscal year of the Performance Period, any Stock Units that are not earned will be cancelled and forfeited at the end of such fiscal year.

4. Issuance and Distribution.

a. At the end of each fiscal year of the Performance Period to which this Award relates, the Compensation Committee will certify in writing the extent to which the applicable annual Performance Conditions have been achieved. For purposes of this provision, and for so long as the Code permits, the approved minutes of the Committee meeting in which the certification is made may be treated as written certification.
b. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award and unless otherwise specifically provided herein, Stock Units earned by an Awardee will be settled and paid in Shares of the Company’s Capital Stock as soon as practicable following the end of the three-year Performance Period on a date determined in the Company’s discretion, but in no event later than the last day of the “applicable 2½ month period” specified in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4) (the “Payment Date”).

5. Change in Awardee’s Status; Change in Control.
a. Death or Disability . In the event an Awardee Separates from Service before the Payment Date on account of death or Disability, the Service Condition will be waived. For completed fiscal years, Awardee shall be entitled to receive payment for any Stock Units that have been earned based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions applicable to such fiscal year. For fiscal years not completed, the Performance Conditions will be deemed to have been achieved at the target level and the Awardee will be deemed to have earned for each such fiscal year a number of Stock Units that were able to be earned for such fiscal year.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award and unless otherwise specifically provided herein, in the event an Awardee Separates from Service on account of death or Disability, the Stock Units, to the extent earned by the Awardee, shall be paid as soon as practicable following the date of such Separation from Service, but in no event later than the last day of the “applicable 2½ month period” specified in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4).




b. Change of Control . In the event there is a Change in Control during the Performance Period, and unless otherwise specifically provided herein, payment under this Award will remain subject to the satisfaction of the Service Condition. For completed fiscal years prior to the Change in Control, Awardee shall remain eligible to receive payment for any Stock Units that have been earned based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions applicable to such fiscal year. For fiscal years not completed prior to the Change in Control, the Performance Conditions will be deemed to have been achieved at the target level and the Awardee will remain eligible to earn for each such fiscal year a number of Stock Units that were able to be earned for such fiscal year.
c. Change in Control Separation . In the event an Awardee Separates from Service prior to the Payment Date on account of an involuntary termination by the Company without cause or Awardee voluntarily terminates employment for Good Reason (as defined herein) (a) within the six-month period immediately preceding a Change in Control in contemplation of such Change in Control (and the Change in Control actually occurs) or (b) during the two-year period following a Change in Control (a “Change in Control Separation”), the Service Condition will be waived. For completed fiscal years prior to the Change in Control, Awardee shall be entitled to receive payment for any Stock Units that have been earned based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions applicable to such fiscal year. For fiscal years not completed prior to the Change in Control, the Performance Conditions will be deemed to have been achieved at the target level and the Awardee will be deemed to have earned for each such fiscal year a number of Stock Units that were able to be earned for such fiscal year.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award and unless otherwise specifically provided herein, in the event of an Change in Control Separation, the Stock Units, to the extent earned by the Awardee, shall be paid as soon as practicable following the date of such Change in Control Separation, but in no event later than the last day of the “applicable 2½ month period” specified in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4); provided that, in the Committee’s discretion, the Stock Units may be settled in cash and/or securities or other property.
The term “Good Reason” for purposes of this Award shall mean the occurrence of any of the following in connection with a Change in Control:
(i)      without the Awardee's express written consent, the material diminution of responsibilities or the assignment to the Awardee of any duties materially and substantially inconsistent with his positions, duties, responsibilities and status with Company immediately prior to a Change in Control, or a material change in his or her reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, or any removal of the Awardee from or any failure to re-elect the Awardee to any of such positions, except in connection with the termination of the Awardee's employment due to Cause (as hereinafter defined) or as a result of the Awardee’s death;
(ii)      a material reduction by Company in the Awardee's base salary as in effect immediately prior to any Change in Control;
(iii)      a failure by Company to continue to provide incentive compensation, under the rules by which incentives are provided, on a basis not materially less favorable to that provided by Company immediately prior to any Change in Control;




(iv)      a material reduction in the overall level of employee benefits, including any benefit or compensation plan, stock option plan, retirement plan, life insurance plan, health and accident plan or disability plan in which Awardee is actively participating immediately prior to a Change in Control (provided, however, that there shall not be deemed to be any such failure if Company substitutes for the discontinued plan, a plan providing Awardee with substantially similar benefits) or the taking of any action by Company which would adversely affect Awardee's participation in or materially reduce Awardee's overall level of benefits under such plans or deprive Awardee of any material fringe benefits enjoyed by Awardee immediately prior to a Change-in-Control;
(v)      the breach of this Agreement caused by the failure of Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successor; and
(vi)      the relocation of the Awardee to a facility or a location more than 50 miles from the Awardee's then present location, without the Awardee's prior written consent.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, in order for the Awardee to terminate for Good Reason: (a) the Awardee must give written notice to Company or its successor of the Awardee's intention to terminate employment for Good Reason within sixty (60) days after the event or omission which constitutes Good Reason, and any failure to give such written notice within such period will result in a waiver by the Awardee of his right to terminate for Good Reason as a result of such act or omission, (b) the event must remain uncorrected by the Company for thirty (30) days following such notice (the "Notice Period"), and (c) such termination must occur within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Notice Period.
d. Retirement . In the event a Retirement Eligible Awardee (as defined below) Separates from Service on account of Retirement during the Performance Period, the shares will follow the normal vesting schedule as set forth in Exhibit A.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award to the contrary, with respect to an Awardee who is or becomes eligible to Separate from Service on account of Retirement during the Performance Period (a “Retirement Eligible Awardee”), any payment made to such Retirement Eligible Awardee under this Award by reason of (i) a Separation from Service on account of death shall be paid in the month following the month containing the date of such Separation from Service; (ii) a Separation from Service on account of Disability shall be paid in the month following the month containing the 6-month anniversary of the date of such Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date specified in (iv) below); (iii) a Change in Control Separation shall be paid in the month following the month containing the 6-month anniversary of the date of such Change in Control Separation (or, if earlier, the date specified in (iv) below); or (iv) achievement of the annual Performance Conditions during the Performance Period as specified herein (and regardless of whether Retirement Eligible Awardee Separates from Service on account of Retirement) shall be paid in [August 20XX].
e. All Other Separations from Service . In the event an Awardee Separates from Service for any other reason (other than death, Disability, Retirement or Change in Control Separation), including, but not limited to, involuntarily by the Company with cause, prior to the Payment Date, all Stock Units granted to the Awardee shall be cancelled and forfeited, whether payable or not, without payment by the Company or any Affiliate.





6. The Stock Units will be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents, which will be subject to all conditions and restrictions applicable to the underlying Stock Units to which they relate. Dividend Equivalents will accrue during the Performance Period. At the end of each fiscal year, Dividend Equivalents will be earned only for Stock Units that are earned or deemed earned under this Award for that fiscal year. With respect to Stock Units that are not earned for a fiscal year (because the applicable Performance Conditions are not satisfied or otherwise), Dividend Equivalents that were accrued for those Stock Units will be cancelled and forfeited along with the Stock Units and underlying Shares, without payment by the Company or any Affiliate. Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash at such time as the underlying Stock Units to which they relate are paid.

7. The Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated, gifted or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of prior to the Payment Date, except as described herein or in the Plan.

8. The Shares underlying the Stock Units shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Company may refuse to register a transfer of the Shares on the stock transfer records of the Company if the transfer constitutes a violation of any applicable securities law and the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Shares.

9. This Performance Unit Award is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (which deals with nonqualified deferred compensation) or an exception thereto and the regulations promulgated thereunder and will be construed accordingly. To the extent a payment is subject to Section 409A and not excepted therefrom, such payment shall be treated as made on the specified date of payment if such payment is made at such date or a later date in the same calendar year or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the specified date of payment, as provided and in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(d). An Awardee shall have no right to designate the date of any payment under this Award. The Company reserves the right to administer, amend or modify the Award or to take any other action necessary or desirable to enable the Award to be interpreted and construed accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Awardee acknowledges and agrees that Section 409A may impose upon the Awardee certain taxes or interest charges for which the Awardee is and shall remain solely responsible.

10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award or the Plan, in the event that this Award is not accepted by the Awardee on or before the date that is 180 days from the grant date noted herein (the “Forfeiture Date”), then this Award shall become null and void and all Stock Units subject to this Award shall be forfeited by the Awardee as of the Forfeiture Date. For acceptance to be valid, the Awardee must accept this Award in the manner specified by the Company. Any Shares underlying the Stock Units covered by this Award that are forfeited by the Awardee shall be returned to the Plan and resume the status of shares available for grant.

11. All other terms and conditions applicable to this Award are contained in the Plan. A copy of the Plan and related Prospectus is available on your accounts page at netbenefits.fidelity.com under Plan Information and Documents, as well as on The Hub under Human Resources.

The table above sets forth the three year period beginning July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2019 (“Performance Period”) referenced in the Performance Unit Award Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.

Interpolation between values shown in the above table will be made on a straight line basis. There will be no payment for performance below Threshold, and no additional payment for performance above Maximum.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award, up to 150% of the number of Stock Units granted pursuant to this agreement may be earned with regard to the ROIC component for the Performance Period (ROIC Earned Stock Units).

II. RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN (RELATIVE TSR) VESTING MULTIPLE COMPONENT:
(a) The total ROIC Earned Stock Units above may have a Relative TSR Vesting Multiple applied to them based on (i) the Corporation’s Total Shareholder Return, as described below, relative to the Peer Group’s (as set forth in Attachment) Total Shareholder Return for the cumulative three year performance period of time ending on June 30, 2019 (“Performance Period”) and (ii) satisfaction of the condition of employment, as set forth below.

(i) “Total Shareholder Return” (or “TSR”) over the Performance Period shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: ((Final Price + all cash dividends paid during the specified period, included as of the applicable ex-dividend date)/Initial Price) - 1, expressed as a percentage.

(ii) “Final Price” shall mean the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of each peer company and the Company for the final thirty trading days of the specified period plus all cash dividends paid during the final thirty (30) trading days. For purposes of this Agreement, this shall mean the final thirty (30) trading days in fiscal 2019.

80%
at the 50th percentile (Target)
100%
at the 75th percentile or more (Maximum)
120%

The percentile rank calculation shall be calculated without including the Company.

The Relative TSR Vesting Multiple is based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Period relative to the Index.

The Relative TSR Vesting Multiple shall be interpolated on a straight-line basis between the percentile levels in the above table, but no amounts will be payable if the Company’s TSR rank against the Peer Group is below the Threshold level and no multiples over 120% will be applied if the Company’s TSR rank against the Peer Group is above the Maximum level.

The Index group companies shall consist of those companies that comprise the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index on the date of grant. A detailed list of the companies that comprise the Index as of July 11, 2016 is attached. Peer Group companies will be adjusted as follows for activity during the Performance Period:
●
If the Company or a member of the Peer Group splits its stock, such company’s TSR will be adjusted for the stock split

●
If a member of the Peer Group is acquired by another company, the acquired Peer Group company will be removed from the Peer Group for the entire Performance Period

●
If a member of the Peer Group sells, spins‐off, or disposes of a portion of its business representing more than 50% of such Company’s total assets during the Performance Period, such Company will be removed from the Peer Group

●
If a member of the Peer Group acquires another company, the acquiring Peer Group company will remain in the Peer Group for the Performance Period

●
If a member of the Peer Group is delisted on all major stock exchanges, such delisted company will be removed from the Peer Group for the entire Performance Period





●
Members of the Peer Group that file for bankruptcy, liquidation or similar reorganization during the Performance Period will remain in the Peer Group, positioned below the lowest performing nonbankrupt member of the Peer Group

Any adjustments resulting in the removal of a peer company will not impact completed measurement periods during an outstanding performance period.
The Compensation Committee shall have the authority to make adjustments in response to a change in circumstances that results in a member of the peer group no longer satisfying the criteria for which such member was originally selected.

Exhibit 10.4


KENNAMETAL INC.

RESTRICTED UNIT AWARD

Grant Date: ____________________
Kennametal Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to «name» (the “Awardee”), as of the Grant Date listed above, this Restricted Unit Award (the “Award”) for «number of stock units» Stock Units, subject to the terms and conditions of the Kennametal Inc. 2016 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the additional terms listed below. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
1. Each Stock Unit represents the right to receive one Share of the Company’s Capital Stock, par value $1.25 per share, subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions (defined below). Notwithstanding, Stock Units as initially awarded have no independent economic value, but rather are mere units of measurement used for the purpose of calculating the number of Shares, if any, to be delivered under the Award.
2. The prohibition against transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender the Stock Units to the Company are herein referred to as “Forfeiture Restrictions.” The Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated, gifted or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of, except as described in the Plan, to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. The Forfeiture Restrictions will be binding upon, and enforceable against, any permitted transferee of the Stock Units.
3. Provided that the Awardee does not Separate from Service and maintains Continuous Status as an Employee from the Grant Date through the lapse date, the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse as follows: (a) on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, one-third (1/3) of the Stock Units will vest and the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse as to those Stock Units; (b) on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional one-third (1/3) of the Stock Units will vest and the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse as to those Stock Units; and (c) on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the remaining one-third (1/3) of the Stock Units will vest and the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse as to those Stock Units.
4. The Stock Units, to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions, will be forfeited to the Company upon Separation from Service for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement (including Early Retirement), or involuntary termination by the Company without cause or voluntary termination by the Awardee for Good Reason (a) within the six-month period immediately preceding a Change in Control in contemplation of such Change in Control (and the Change in Control actually occurs) or (b) during the two-year period following a Change in Control (a "Change in Control Separation"). In the event that the Awardee Separates from Service as a result of death, Disability, Retirement (including Early Retirement) or a Change in Control Separation, the vesting and/or forfeiture of the Stock Units shall be determined as provided in the Plan.
5. Except as otherwise provided herein, the shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Shares”) underlying Stock Units which are no longer subject to Forfeiture Restrictions shall be issued to the Awardee on the lapse date (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following such date), subject to the Awardee’s satisfaction of all applicable income and employment withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provisions of this Award or the Plan to the contrary, for a U.S. participant who is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) upon Separation from Service due to Retirement (including Early Retirement), Disability or a Change in Control Separation, the delivery of any Shares underlying this Award will be delayed and delivered on the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the Awardee’s Separation from Service (or upon earlier death) if and to the extent such payments would constitute or be considered as deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, subject to the Awardee’s satisfaction of all applicable income and employment withholding taxes.
6. The Shares underlying Stock Units shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Company may refuse to register a transfer of the Shares on the stock transfer records of the Company if the transfer constitutes a violation of any applicable securities law and the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Shares.




7. This Restricted Unit Award is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (which deals with nonqualified deferred compensation) or an exception thereto and the regulations promulgated thereunder and will be construed accordingly. The Company reserves the right to administer, amend or modify the Award or to take any other action necessary or desirable to enable the Award to be interpreted and construed accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Awardee acknowledges and agrees that Section 409A may impose upon the Awardee certain taxes or interest charges for which the Awardee is and shall remain solely responsible.
8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award or the Plan, in the event that this Award is not accepted by the Awardee on or before the date that is 180 days from the grant date noted herein (the “Forfeiture Date”), then this Award shall become null and void and all Stock Units subject to this Award shall be forfeited by the Awardee as of the Forfeiture Date. For acceptance to be valid, the Awardee must accept this Award in the manner specified by the Company. Any Shares underlying the Stock Units covered by this Award that are forfeited by the Awardee shall be returned to the Plan and resume the status of shares available for grant.
9.      All other terms and conditions applicable to this Award are contained in the Plan. A copy of the Plan and related Prospectus is available on your accounts page at netbenefits.fidelity.com under Plan Information and Documents, as well as on The Hub under Human Resources.

Exhibit 10.5

KENNAMETAL INC.
CASH SETTLED SHARE-BASED AWARD FOR CHINA-BASED EMPLOYEES
Grant Date: ____________________
Kennametal Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to «name» (the “Awardee”), as of the Grant Date listed above, this Cash Settled Share-Based Award (the “Award”) for «number of stock units» Stock Units, subject to the terms and conditions of the Kennametal Inc. 2016 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the additional terms listed below. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
1. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan, each Stock Unit represents the right to receive a cash payment from the Company (or an Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof, as applicable) equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share of the Company’s Capital Stock, par value $1.25 per share, subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions (defined below). Notwithstanding, Stock Units as initially awarded have no independent economic value, but rather are mere units of measurement used for purpose of calculating the number of Shares to be used in determining the amount of the cash payment, if any, to be made under the Award.
2. The prohibition against transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender the Stock Units to the Company are herein referred to as “Forfeiture Restrictions.” The Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated, gifted or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of, except as described in the Plan, to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. The Forfeiture Restrictions will be binding upon, and enforceable against, any permitted transferee of the Stock Units.
3. Provided that the Awardee does not Separate from Service and maintains Continuous Status as an Employee from the Grant Date through the lapse date, the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse as follows: (a) on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, one-third (1/3) of the Stock Units will vest and the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse as to those Stock Units; (b) on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional one-third (1/3) of the Stock Units will vest and the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse as to those Stock Units; and (c) on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the remaining one-third (1/3) of the Stock Units will vest and the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse as to those Stock Units.
4. The Awardee shall have only the Company's unfunded, unsecured promise to pay pursuant to the terms of this Award. The rights of the Awardee hereunder shall be that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company, and the Awardee shall not have any security interest in any assets of the Company (or an Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof). The Awardee shall not have any rights of ownership in the Shares subject to the Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such Shares.
5. The Stock Units, to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions, will be forfeited to the Company upon Separation from Service for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement (including Early Retirement), or involuntary termination by the Company without cause or voluntary termination by the Awardee for Good Reason (a) within the six-month period immediately preceding a Change in Control in contemplation of such Change in Control (and the Change in Control actually occurs) or (b) during the two-year period following a Change in Control (a "Change in Control Separation"). In the event that the Awardee Separates from Service as a result of death, Disability, Retirement (including Early Retirement) or a Change in Control Separation, the vesting and/or forfeiture of the Stock Units shall be determined as provided in the Plan.
6. Except as otherwise provided herein, a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying Stock Units which are no longer subject to Forfeiture Restrictions shall be made to the Awardee on the lapse date (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following such date), subject to the Awardee’s satisfaction of all applicable income and employment withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provisions of this Award or the Plan to the contrary, for a U.S. participant who is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) upon Separation from Service due to Retirement (including Early Retirement), Disability or a Change in Control Separation, the cash payment will be delayed and delivered on the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the Awardee’s Separation from Service (or upon earlier death) if and to the extent such payments would constitute or be considered as deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, subject to the Awardee’s satisfaction of all applicable income and employment withholding taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, in the People’s Republic of China, the Company, per se, will not make such cash payment to the Awardee, instead, the Chinese local subsidiary of the Company will, using its own RMB funds, make such cash payment in RMB equal to the Fair Market Value at the current foreign exchange rate to the Awardee.




7. This Award is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (which deals with nonqualified deferred compensation) or an exception thereto and the regulations promulgated thereunder and will be construed accordingly. The Company reserves the right to administer, amend or modify the Award or to take any other action necessary or desirable to enable the Award to be interpreted and construed accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Awardee acknowledges and agrees that Section 409A may impose upon the Awardee certain taxes or interest charges for which the Awardee is and shall remain solely responsible.
8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award or the Plan, in the event that this Award is not accepted by the Awardee on or before the date that is 180 days from the grant date noted herein (the “Forfeiture Date”), then this Award shall become null and void and all Stock Units subject to this Award shall be forfeited by the Awardee as of the Forfeiture Date. For acceptance to be valid, the Awardee must accept this Award in the manner specified by the Company.
9.      All other terms and conditions applicable to this Award are contained in the Plan. A copy of the Plan and related Prospectus is available on your accounts page at netbenefits.fidelity.com under Plan Information and Documents, as well as on The Hub under Human Resources.
