Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 26, 2016, Kennametal Inc. (Kennametal or the Company) issued an earnings announcement for its fiscal 2017 first quarter ended September 30, 2016.
The press release contains certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. The following GAAP financial measures have been presented on an adjusted basis: sales; gross profit and margin; operating expense; operating expense as a percentage of sales; operating (loss) income and margin; net (loss) income; diluted loss per share (LPS) and diluted earnings per share (EPS); effective tax rate; Industrial sales, operating income and margin; WIDIA operating loss and margin; and Infrastructure sales, operating (loss) income and margin. Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2016 include restructuring and related charges. Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2015 include: (1) restructuring and related charges, (2) divestiture-related charges and (3) operations of divested businesses. Management adjusts for these items in measuring and compensating internal performance and to more readily compare the Company’s financial performance period-to-period. The press release also contains free operating cash flow and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) which are non-GAAP measure and are defined below.
Management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about the results of operations of the Company for the current and past periods. Management believes that investors should have available the same information that management uses to assess operating performance, determine compensation and assess the capital structure of the Company. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Free Operating Cash Flow
Free operating cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as cash provided by operations (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) less capital expenditures plus proceeds from disposals of fixed assets. Management considers free operating cash flow to be an important indicator of Kennametal’s cash generating capability because it better represents cash generated from operations that can be used for dividends, debt repayment, strategic initiatives, and other investing and financing activities.
EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income attributable to Kennametal, with interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization added back. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income attributable to Kennametal. However, we believe that EBITDA is widely used as a measure of operating performance and is an important indicator of the Company’s operational strength and performance. Nevertheless, the measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Kennametal will adjust EBITDA. Management uses this information in reviewing operating performance.
Additionally, during our quarterly earnings teleconference we may use various non-GAAP financial measures to describe the underlying operating results. Accordingly, we have compiled below certain reconciliations as required by Regulation G. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.







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

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