Divestiture [Abstract] |
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | During the three months ended December 31, 2015, Kennametal completed the sale of the outstanding capital stock of: Kennametal Extrude Hone LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kennametal Stellite S.r.l. (Bellusco, Italy), Kennametal Stellite S.p.A. (Milan, Italy), Kennametal Stellite GmbH (Koblenz, Germany); and all of the assets of the businesses of: Tricon (manufacturing operations in Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; and Elko, Nevada), Landis (manufacturing operation in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania); and all of the assets located at the Biel, Switzerland manufacturing facility ("non-core businesses") to Madison Industries for an aggregate price of $61.1 million, net. A portion of the transaction proceeds were used to pay down revolver debt and the remaining balance was held as cash on hand. The net book value of these non-core businesses was $191.9 million, which included a refinement to estimated working capital adjustment. We recognized a pre-tax loss on the sale of $133.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015, of which $126.0 million and $7.3 million were recorded in the Infrastructure and Industrial segments, respectively. The pre-tax income attributable to the non-core businesses was assessed and determined to be immaterial for disclosure for the periods presented.
