Table of Contents

This 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. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q may concern, among other things, Kennametal’s expectations regarding our strategy, goals, plans and projections regarding our financial position, liquidity and capital resources, results of operations, market position, and product development, all of which are based on current expectations that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties related to: global and regional economic conditions; availability and cost of the raw materials we use to manufacture our products; our ability to protect our intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions; our foreign operations and international markets, such as currency exchange rates, different regulatory environments, trade barriers, exchange controls, and social and political instability; energy costs; commodity prices; competition; integrating recent acquisitions, as well as any future acquisitions, and achieving the expected savings and synergies; business divestitures; demands on management resources; future terrorist attacks or acts of war; labor relations; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; and implementation of restructuring plans and environmental remediation matters. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual outcomes could vary materially from those indicated. These and other risks are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” Section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in this Form 10-Q if applicable and in our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1.   ORGANIZATION
 
    Kennametal Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1943 and maintains its world headquarters in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Kennametal Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Kennametal or the Company) is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of tooling, engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes. End users of our products include metalworking manufacturers and suppliers in the aerospace, automotive, machine tool, light machinery and heavy machinery industries, as well as manufacturers and suppliers in the highway construction, coal mining, quarrying and oil and gas exploration industries. Our end users’ products include items ranging from airframes to coal, medical implants to oil wells and turbochargers to motorcycle parts. We operate two global business units consisting of Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) and Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG).
 
2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    The condensed consolidated financial statements, which include our accounts and those of our consolidated subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2008 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, 2008 and 2007 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 2009 is to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. 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.
 
    On October 23, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one capital stock split in the form of a capital stock dividend, which was distributed after the close of trading on December 18, 2007 to all shareowners of record as of the close of business on December 4, 2007. All share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements retroactively reflect the effect of this capital stock split.
 
3.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
    In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 expands the current disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 is effective for Kennametal beginning January 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 161 to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
 
    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer accounts for business combinations and includes guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling or minority interest in the acquiree. It also provides guidance for the measurement of goodwill, the recognition of contingent consideration and the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, as well as acquisition-related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 141(R) to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
 
    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for any noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements and requires disclosure on the face of the consolidated statement of income of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolled interest. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for Kennametal as of July 1, 2009, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which, upon adoption, will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of SFAS 160 to determine the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
    In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 requires that tax benefits generated by dividends paid during the vesting period on certain equity-classified share-based compensation awards be classified as additional paid-in capital and included in a pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies from share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 was effective for Kennametal on July 1, 2008 and is to be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of this EITF did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
    On July 1, 2008, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the fair value option) with changes in fair value recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Kennametal records derivative contracts and hedging activities at fair value in accordance with SFAS 133. The adoption of SFAS 159 therefore had no impact on our consolidated financial statements as management did not elect the fair value option for any other financial instruments or certain other assets and liabilities.
 
    On July 1, 2008, Kennametal adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis, until July 1, 2009 for Kennametal.
 
    SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures related to fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. We are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 157, as it relates to pension plan assets, nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, on our consolidated financial statements.
 
    SFAS 157 defines fair value 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. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. SFAS 157 established a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Fair value measurements are assigned a level within the hierarchy based on the lowest significant input level. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described 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.

5.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
 
    During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008, we announced our intent to implement a program of restructuring actions to further our ability to achieve our long-term goals for margin expansion and earnings growth as well as reduce costs and improve efficiency in our operations. Consistent with this announcement, we continued actions in 2009 related to facility rationalizations and employment reductions. The restructuring actions under this program are expected to be completed over the next six to twelve months. The restructuring and related charges recorded through September 30, 2008 were $17.4 million. Including these charges, the Company expects to recognize total program charges-related charges in the range of $40 million to $50 million of which approximately 90 percent are expected to be cash expenditures. Annual ongoing benefits from these actions, once fully implemented, are expected to be in the range of $20 million to $25 million.
 
    In conjunction with this program, we recorded asset write-downs related to inventory that has been disposed of as a result of the restructuring program. These charges were included in cost of goods sold and were immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

6.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
    Stock options are granted to eligible employees at fair market value on the date of grant. Stock options are exercisable under specific conditions for up to 10 years from the date of grant. On October 21, 2008, at its Annual Meeting of Shareowners, the Company’s shareowners approved the Amended and Restated Kennametal Stock and Incentive Plan of 2002 (the 2002 Plan). The 2002 Plan was amended primarily to (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for issuance under the 2002 Plan from 7,500,000 to 9,000,000, (ii) place a limit on the number of full share awards that may be made under the 2002 Plan, and (iii) provide that shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay withholding taxes under the 2002 Plan or any of the Company’s prior stock plans and shares not issued upon the net settlement or net exercise of SARs, in each case, will no longer be available for future grants under the 2002 Plan.
 
    Under the provisions of the 2002 Plan, participants may deliver our 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 value of shares delivered during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
 
    Stock option expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. In addition to stock option grants, the 2002 Plan permits the award of restricted stock and restricted stock units to directors, officers and key employees.
 
    Options
 
    The assumptions used in our Black-Scholes valuation related to stock option grants made during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:
                 
    2008     2007  
 
Risk-free interest rate
    3.1 %     4.5 %
Expected life (years) (1)
    4.5       4.5  
Expected volatility (2)
    27.4 %     23.6 %
Expected dividend yield
    1.3 %     1.4 %
 
1)   Expected life is derived from historical experience.
 
2)   Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our capital stock.

8.   INVENTORIES
 
    We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for approximately 51 percent and 48 percent of total inventories at September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Because 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.

9.   ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
    We are subject to various U.S. Federal, state and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or proceedings of various potential environmental issues concerning activities at our facilities or former facilities or remediation efforts as a result of past activities (including past activities of companies we have acquired). From time to time, we receive notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or equivalent state or international environmental agencies that we are a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent laws. These notices assert potential liability for cleanup costs at various sites, which include sites owned by us, sites we previously owned and treatment or disposal sites not owned by us.
 
    Superfund Sites We are involved as a PRP at several Superfund sites, and have responded to notices for other Superfund sites as to which our records disclose no involvement or for which predecessors of certain of our acquired companies have acknowledged responsibility. We have established reserves that we believe to be adequate to cover our share of the potential costs of remediation at certain of the Superfund sites; at September 30, 2008 the total of these accruals was $0.2 million. For the remaining Superfund sites, proceedings in those matters have not yet progressed to a stage where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRPs.
 
    Other Environmental Issues We also maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 2008, the total of these accruals was $5.4 million, and represents anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues. We recorded favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008 related to these reserves.
 
10.   INCOME TAXES
 
    The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was 19.0 percent and 37.7 percent, respectively. The prior year’s rate was unfavorably impacted by a $6.6 million non-cash income tax charge related to a German tax law change which impacted the rate by 11.4 percent. The current year rate reflects a benefit from the release of a valuation allowance in Europe that was driven by further expansion of our Pan-European business strategy.

11.   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 occurs related to the issuance of capital stock under stock option grants, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit grants. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options and restricted stock awards.
 
    For purposes of determining the number of diluted shares outstanding, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options and restricted stock awards by 1.1 million shares and 1.7 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Unexercised stock options to purchase our capital stock of 1.0 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2008 are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price, and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. See Note 2 for disclosure of our recent capital stock split.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
SALES
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $669.3 million, an increase of $54.2 million, or 8.8 percent, from $615.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in sales was primarily attributed to 3 percent organic growth, 5 percent from foreign currency effects and 2 percent from more workdays partially offset by the impact of divestitures of 1 percent. The organic increase in sales for the quarter was primarily driven by growth in European, Asia Pacific, Indian and Latin American markets. North American sales were essentially flat. We achieved sales gains in all major metalworking markets outside of North America as well as sales growth in our advanced materials businesses which more than offset the impact of weaker market conditions in the North American metalworking market.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $6.7 million, or 3.2 percent, to $218.8 million from $212.1 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to higher organic sales volume, the effect of price increases and the favorable impact of foreign currency effects of $11.3 million partially offset by higher raw material costs and temporary disruption costs related to our restructuring actions.
Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was 32.7 percent, down 180 basis points from 34.5 percent in the prior year quarter. The change from the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher raw material costs as well as temporary disruption costs partially offset by the impact of price increases.
OPERATING EXPENSE
Operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $153.7 million, an increase of $8.7 million, or 6.0 percent, compared to $145.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating expense was primarily attributed to foreign currency effects of $7.6 million.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008, we announced our intent to implement a program of restructuring actions to further our ability to achieve our long-term goals for margin expansion and earnings growth as well as reduce costs and improve efficiency in our operations. Consistent with this announcement, we continued actions in 2009 related to facility rationalizations and employment reductions. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded restructuring charges of $8.4 million. MSSG, AMSG and Corporate charges were $6.7 million, $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part 1 Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
The restructuring actions under this program are expected to be completed over the next six to twelve months. The related charges recorded through September 30, 2008 were $17.4 million. Including these charges, the Company expects to recognize total program-related charges in the range of $40 million to $50 million of which approximately 90 percent are expected to be cash expenditures. Annual ongoing benefits from these actions, once fully implemented, are expected to be in the range of $20 million to $25 million.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES
Amortization expense was $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $0.5 million from $2.9 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year increase was due to the impact of acquisitions.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 decreased $0.7 million, or 8.8 percent, to $7.1 million from $7.8 million in the prior year quarter. The impact of an increase in average domestic borrowings of $111.0 million was more than offset by lower average interest rates on domestic borrowings. The increase in average domestic borrowings was driven by the repurchase of 4 million of the Company’s shares during the three months ended September 30, 2008 at a total cost of $127.3 million.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME), NET
Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.4 million compared to other income, net of $1.1 million in the prior year quarter. This change was driven by unfavorable foreign currency transaction results of $2.5 million and lower other income of $1.1 million, partially offset by higher interest income of $1.1 million.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was 19.0 percent and 37.7 percent, respectively. The prior year’s rate was unfavorably impacted by a $6.6 million non-cash income tax charge related to a German tax law change which impacted the rate by 11.4 percent. The current year rate reflects a benefit from the release of a valuation allowance in Europe that was driven by further expansion of our Pan-European business strategy.
On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was enacted, which extended the Research Credit for Increasing Research Activities in the United States of America. Our subsequent filings will reflect the impact of this legislation, which will have a slightly favorable impact on our effective tax rate.
BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW
Our operations are organized into two reportable operating segments consisting of Metalworking Solutions & Services Group (MSSG) and Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG), and Corporate. The presentation of segment information reflects the manner in which we organize segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Corporate represents certain corporate shared service costs, employee benefit costs, employment costs, such as performance-based bonuses and stock-based compensation expense, and eliminations of operating results between segments.

This increase was the result of 6 percent from favorable foreign currency effects, 2 percent from more workdays, less 2 percent from divestitures. On a global basis, industrial activity was mixed. Activity in certain industry and market sectors, such as aerospace, defense and energy, remained positive while others, such as automotive and other durable goods, were somewhat weaker. MSSG achieved organic sales growth of 22 percent in Asia Pacific, 7 percent in Latin America, 6 percent in India and 2 percent in Europe. This growth offset a reduction in North American organic sales of 8 percent primarily attributed to a decline in distribution sales that resulted from our distributors’ increased reliance on our higher fill rates as well as the overall economic environment.
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, MSSG operating income decreased $12.0 million, or 21.8 percent, from the prior year quarter. Operating margin on total sales of 9.0 percent for the current quarter decreased 330 basis points compared to 12.3 percent in the prior year quarter. The primary drivers of the decline in operating margin were restructuring and related charges of $7.2 million, temporary disruption effects related to restructuring initiatives and higher raw material costs offset somewhat by benefits from price increases and favorable foreign currency effects.

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, AMSG external sales increased $30.6 million, or 14.8 percent, from the prior year quarter. This was the result of 10 percent organic growth, 3 percent from favorable foreign currency effects and 2 percent from more workdays. Organic sales increased on stronger mining and construction sales and higher energy-related sales, offset somewhat by lower sales of engineered products and surface finishing machines and services.

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, AMSG operating income was flat compared to the prior year quarter. Operating margin on total sales of 12.2 percent for the current quarter decreased 150 basis points compared to 13.7 percent in the prior year quarter. This decline is primarily due to restructuring and related charges of $1.4 million, unfavorable business mix and lower performance related to the engineered products and surface finishing machines and services businesses. Improved price realization more than offset the impact of higher raw material costs for the current quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Despite the recent unprecedented turmoil in the global financial markets, we continue to believe that cash flow from operations and the availability under our credit lines will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. At September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $68.9 million. Also at September 30, 2008, we had additional borrowing capacity of $346.3 million available under our multi-currency, revolving credit line which extends to March 2011. Our current credit ratings are at solid investment grade levels. We believe that our current financial position, liquidity and credit ratings provide access to the capital markets. We continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and the condition of the capital markets as well as the counterparty risk of our credit providers.
There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since June 30, 2008.
Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flow from operations is our primary source of financing for capital expenditures and internal growth. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, cash flow provided by operating activities was $38.0 million, compared to $56.9 million for the prior year period. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the current year quarter consisted of net income and non-cash items totaling $62.5 million offset somewhat by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to $24.5 million. Contributing to these changes were a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $24.1 million, due in part to a $14.3 million payment of 2008 performance-based bonuses, and an increase in inventories of $26.9 million due to higher raw material costs, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $27.9 million.
Cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2007 consisted of net income and non-cash items totaling $68.7 million offset somewhat by changes in certain assets and liabilities netting to $11.8 million. Contributing to these changes were a decrease in accounts receivable of $30.7 million, an increase in inventories of $29.4 million due to higher sales volume, initiatives to increase service levels and increased raw material inventory and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $18.9 million driven by a $15.1 million payment of 2007 performance-based bonuses.
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Cash flow used for investing activities was $43.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $12.2 million, compared to $31.4 million in the prior year quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, cash used for investing activities included $44.6 million used for purchases of property, plant and equipment, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades.
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, cash used for investing activities included $42.7 million used for purchases of property, plant and equipment, which consisted primarily of equipment upgrades, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of an equity investment of $5.4 million, proceeds from divestitures of $3.0 million and $1.6 million of post-closing purchase price adjustments related to the acquisition of business assets.
Cash Flow Provided by / Used for Financing Activities
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, cash flow provided by financing activities was $4.1 million and included a $134.3 million net increase in borrowings and $3.4 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans mostly offset by $127.3 million used for the repurchase of capital stock and $9.2 million of cash dividends paid to shareowners.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, cash flow used for financing activities was $12.0 million and included $15.9 million for the repurchase of capital stock and $8.2 million of cash dividends paid to shareowners, partially offset by $7.1 million of dividend reinvestment and the effect of employee benefit and stock plans.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At September 30, 2008, total assets were $2,678.2 million having decreased $106.1 million from $2,784.3 million at June 30, 2008. Total liabilities increased $77.1 million from $1,114.9 million at June 30, 2008 to $1,192.0 million at September 30, 2008.
Working capital was $626.9 million at September 30, 2008, a decrease of $3.8 million or 0.6 percent from $630.7 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in working capital included a decrease in accounts receivable of $55.6 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $32.0 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $22.5 driven by the payment of fiscal 2008 performance-based bonuses of $14.3 million. Foreign currency effects accounted for $26.9 million and $15.5 million of the decreases in accounts receivable and accrued liabilities, respectively.
Property, plant and equipment, net decreased $20.7 million from $749.8 million at June 30, 2008 to $729.1 million at September 30, 2008, primarily due to a reduction from foreign currency effects of $29.2 million and depreciation expense of $21.3 million partially offset by capital additions of $31.8 million related to machinery and equipment upgrades and geographic expansion.
At September 30, 2008, other assets were $857.1 million, a decrease of $25.5 million from $882.6 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in other assets was primarily attributed to a decrease in goodwill and intangible assets of $26.6 million caused mostly by unfavorable foreign currency effects of $23.6 million.
Long-term debt and capital leases increased $135.1 million from $313.1 million at June 30, 2008 to $448.2 million at September 30, 2008 primarily due to borrowings for the repurchase of capital stock during the current quarter of $127.3 million.
Shareowners’ equity was $1,465.8 million at September 30, 2008, a decrease of $182.1 million from $1,647.9 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributed to the purchase of capital stock of $127.3 million and a reduction from foreign currency translation adjustments of $92.7 million partially offset by net income of $35.5 million.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
We are subject to various U.S. Federal, state and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or proceedings of various potential environmental issues concerning activities at our facilities or former facilities or remediation efforts as a result of past activities (including past activities of companies we have acquired). From time to time, we receive notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or equivalent state or international environmental agencies that we are a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent laws. These notices assert potential liability for cleanup costs at various sites, which include sites owned by us, sites we previously owned and treatment or disposal sites not owned by us.
Superfund Sites We are involved as a PRP at several Superfund sites, and have responded to notices for other Superfund sites as to which our records disclose no involvement or for which predecessors of certain of our acquired companies have acknowledged responsibility. We have established reserves that we believe to be adequate to cover our share of the potential costs of remediation at certain of the Superfund sites; at September 30, 2008 the total of these accruals was $0.2 million. For the remaining Superfund sites, proceedings in those matters have not yet progressed to a stage where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRPs. Although the outcome of the pending Superfund claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other Environmental Issues We also maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At September 30, 2008, the total of these accruals was $5.4 million, and represents anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues. We recorded favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008 related to these reserves.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since June 30, 2008.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part 1 Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a description of new accounting standards.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have experienced certain changes in our exposure to market risk from June 30, 2008. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was an asset of $2.4 million as of September 30, 2008 and an asset of $0.7 million as of June 30, 2008. We recorded the change in fair value of these agreements as a gain in other comprehensive income and a corresponding decrease to long-term debt, as these instruments are accounted for as a fair value hedge of our long-term debt. The $1.7 million change in the recorded value of these agreements was non-cash and was the result of marking these instruments to market.
There have been no other material changes to our market risk exposure since June 30, 2008.
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 were effective.
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.
