Operating loss was $17 million, or negative 4.3 percent margin, compared to operating income of $16 million, or 3.2 percent margin, in the prior year quarter. The decrease in operating income was due primarily to an organic sales decline and unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes, $29 million of restructuring and related charges compared to $8 million in the prior year quarter, partially offset by lower raw material costs, approximately $22 million of incremental simplification/modernization benefits and cost-control measures. Adjusted operating income was $11 million, or 2.9 percent margin, compared to $24 million, or 4.7 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.

Reported LPS in the current quarter includes restructuring and related charges of $0.30, partially offset by differences in annual projected tax rates of $0.01. Reported EPS in the prior year quarter includes restructuring and related charges of $0.09.

The reported effective tax rate (ETR) for the quarter was 12.1 percent (benefit on a loss) and the adjusted ETR was 33.4 percent (provision on income), compared to reported ETR of 33.7 percent and adjusted ETR of 22.5 percent in the prior year quarter, both provisions on income. The year-over-year change in both the reported and adjusted ETR is due primarily to the effects of relatively lower current year pre-tax income.

Year-to-date net cash flow provided by operating activities was $10 million compared to $28 million in the prior year quarter. The change in net cash flow provided by operating activities was driven primarily by lower earnings. Year-to-date free operating cash flow (FOCF) was negative $29 million compared to negative $45 million in the prior year quarter. The improvement in FOCF was driven primarily by lower capital expenditures of $33 million, partially offset by lower earnings and working capital adjustments. On September 10, 2020, the Company entered into an amended Credit Agreement to broaden its Net Debt definition to include international cash, increase the restructuring allowance and temporarily increase the Net Debt/EBITDA threshold. The Company remains in compliance with all covenants and had full availability under the terms of the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2020.

Outlook and Second Quarter Assumptions
While there are signs of improvement, overall global market conditions remain unpredictable and visibility into primary end markets remains limited. Therefore, the Company will not be providing an FY21 outlook at this time, outside of capital spending, which is unchanged and expected to be between $110 million and $130 million. The Company will provide more details regarding its second quarter assumptions on its conference call.

Segment Results
The Company's former segments, Industrial and Widia, were combined into one Metal Cutting segment as of July 1, 2020, while Infrastructure remains unchanged. Segment results have been retrospectively restated to reflect the change in reportable segments.

Metal Cutting sales of $248 million decreased 24 percent from $324 million year-over-year, driven by organic sales decline of 23 percent and a 1 percent unfavorable currency exchange effect. Operating loss was $24 million, or negative 9.5 percent margin, compared to operating income of $19 million, or 6.0 percent margin, in the prior year quarter. The decrease in operating income was driven primarily by organic sales decline, unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes and $26 million of restructuring and related charges compared to $6 million in the prior year quarter, partially offset by incremental simplification/modernization benefits, lower raw material costs, and cost-control measures. Adjusted operating income was $2 million, or 1.0 percent margin, compared to $26 million, or 7.9 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.

Infrastructure sales of $152 million decreased 21 percent from $194 million year-over-year, driven by organic sales decline of 18 percent and a 4 percent decline from divestiture, partially offset by a favorable business day effect of 1 percent. Operating income was $7 million, or 4.8 percent margin, compared to operating loss of $3 million, or negative 1.4 percent margin, in the prior year quarter. The change in operating results was primarily driven by lower raw material costs, simplification/modernization benefits and cost-control measures, partially offset by organic sales decline and unfavorable labor and fixed cost absorption due to lower volumes. Adjusted operating income was $10 million, or 6.5 percent margin, compared to adjusted operating loss of $1 million, or negative 0.5 percent margin, in the prior year quarter.

Dividend Declared
Kennametal also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend is payable on November 24, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2020.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss its first quarter fiscal 2021 results on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The conference call will be broadcast via real-time audio on the Kennametal website at www.kennametal.com. Once on the homepage, select "About Us", "Investor Relations" and then "Events."

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS (UNAUDITED)
In addition to reported results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the following financial highlight tables include, where appropriate, a reconciliation of adjusted results including: operating (loss) income and margin; ETR; net (loss) income attributable to Kennametal; diluted (L)EPS; Metal Cutting operating (loss) income and margin; Infrastructure operating income (loss) and margin; FOCF; and consolidated and segment organic sales decline (all of which are non-GAAP financial measures), to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2020 include restructuring and related charges and differences in projected annual tax rates. Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2019 include restructuring and related charges. For those adjustments that are presented 'net of tax', the tax effect of the adjustment can be derived by calculating the difference between the pre-tax and the post-tax adjustments presented. The tax effect on adjustments is calculated by preparing an overall tax calculation including the adjustments and then a tax calculation excluding the adjustments. The difference between these calculations results in the tax impact of the adjustments.

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 financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures used by management may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliations and descriptions of all non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the disclosures below.

(3) Attributable to Kennametal

(4) Represents a change in the method in which management calculates the tax effect on adjustments within the non-GAAP reconciliations. By separately presenting the effect of the differences in projected annual tax rates during the current period, management believes that the tax effects related to restructuring and related charges are more accurately reflected. This change does not affect adjusted results. The effect of the differences in projected annual tax rates was immaterial during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and, therefore, the prior period has not been retrospectively adjusted.

Free Operating Cash Flow (FOCF)
FOCF is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as net cash flow provided by operating activities (which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) less capital expenditures plus proceeds from disposals of fixed assets. Management considers FOCF to be an important indicator of the Company's cash generating capability because it better represents cash generated from operations that can be used for dividends, debt repayment, strategic initiatives (such as acquisitions) and other investing and financing activities.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities		$	9,622			$	27,545

Disposals of property, plant and equipment		334				395
Free operating cash flow		$	(29,389)			$	(44,515)

Organic Sales Decline
Organic sales decline is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales decline (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures, business days and foreign currency exchange from year-over-year comparisons. Management believes this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth (decline) on a consistent basis. Management reports organic sales growth (decline) at the consolidated and segment levels.

ORGANIC SALES DECLINE (UNAUDITED)
Three Months Ended September 30, 2020		Metal Cutting		Infrastructure		Total
Organic sales decline		(23)%		(18)%		(21)%
Foreign currency exchange effect (5)		(1)		—		(1)
Business days effect (6)		—		1		—
Divestiture effect (7)		—		(4)		(1)
Sales decline		(24)%		(21)%		(23)%

(5) Foreign currency exchange effect is calculated by dividing the difference between current period sales and current period sales at prior period foreign exchange rates by prior period sales.

(6) Business days effect is calculated by dividing the year-over-year change in weighted average working days (based on mix of sales by country) by prior period weighted average working days.

(7) Divestiture effect is calculated by dividing prior period sales attributable to divested businesses by prior period sales.
