•Record orders of $1.0 billion, up 3%, inclusive of a negative 1% foreign exchange impact, driven by 8% growth in project-related business and 19% in precision conveyance
•Backlog of $322.5 million increased $41.7 million, or 15%
•Net sales of $963.0 million, down 5%, inclusive of a negative 1% foreign exchange impact, driven by short cycle order softness and higher project-related orders with a longer delivery timeframe
•Net loss of $5.1 million with a net margin of (0.5%) includes $22.1 million non-cash pension settlement costs, $16.4 million factory consolidation costs, $12.8 million Monterrey, MX start-up costs and $10.3 million of costs related to the pending acquisition of Kito Crosby2
•Adjusted EBITDA1 of $150.5 million with Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 of 15.6%
•Repaid $60.7 million of debt in FY25

•Orders increased 2%, inclusive of a negative 2% foreign exchange impact, led by precision conveyance and automation, both up 14%

“We enter fiscal 2026 with a strong backlog and continued order growth as our commercial initiatives gain traction. Our conviction in Columbus McKinnon's strategy and business model remains strong as we continue to anticipate tailwinds from industry megatrends like on-shoring, scarcity of labor and global infrastructure investments over time,” said David Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have a strong track record of navigating through uncertain environments and managing performance through volatility. Accordingly, we are actively working to mitigate the impact of tariff policies with supply chain adjustments, surcharges and price. I want to thank our Columbus McKinnon team for their relentless efforts to continuously improve customer service and advance our strategic initiatives as we execute on fiscal 2026 and work toward the closing of the Kito Crosby acquisition." For the quarter, net sales decreased $18.6 million, or 7.0%.

May 28, 2025
Kito Crosby Transaction
As it announced on February 10, 2025, Columbus McKinnon believes that the acquisition of Kito Crosby Limited ("Kito Crosby") will scale its business and accelerate the realization of the Company’s Intelligent Motion strategy. Through this complementary combination, Columbus McKinnon believes it will be better positioned to deliver a superior customer value proposition through an expanded product offering across a broader set of geographies, generating enhanced financial results and long-term value for shareholders.
The acquisition is conditioned on the receipt of regulatory clearance and satisfactory completion of customary closing conditions. The Company continues to make progress towards completing the proposed acquisition and work collaboratively with the Department of Justice on regulatory clearance matters with regards to the transaction through the date of this release. The Company continues to anticipate the closing of the transaction later this calendar year.
Capital Allocation Priorities
The Company plans to continue to allocate capital to pay down debt to deleverage its balance sheet in the near term while continuing its track record of consistent dividend payment. Over time, the Company believes it will be positioned to utilize its expected significant free cash flow generation to advance its Intelligent Motion strategy across the fragmented marketplace.
Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
The Company’s outlook for fiscal 2026 does not contemplate the impact of the pending Kito Crosby acquisition. Additionally, the guidance only reflects what is known as of the date of this release about the tariff policy environment, which has remained volatile to date and may impact supply chain costs and product availability. This forecast assumes tariffs will be a headwind to Adjusted EPS in the first half of fiscal 2026 due to the timing of supply chain adjustments, pricing increases and surcharge implementation lagging tariff costs and tariff cost neutrality expected by the second half of fiscal 2026.
The Company is issuing the following guidance for fiscal 2026, ending March 31, 2026:
Metric FY26
Net sales Flat to slightly up
Adjusted EPS3
Flat to slightly up
Fiscal 2026 guidance assumes approximately $35 million of interest expense, $30 million of amortization, an effective tax rate of 25% and 29.0 million diluted average shares outstanding.
Teleconference and Webcast
Columbus McKinnon will host a conference call today at 10:00 AM Eastern Time to discuss the Company’s financial results and strategy. The conference call, earnings release and earnings presentation will be accessible through live webcast on the Company's investor relations website at investors.cmco.com. A replay of the webcast will also be archived on the Company's investor relations website through June 4, 2025.
_____________________
1     Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See accompanying discussion and reconciliation tables provided in this release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measures.
2    Each expense listed is being presented in a tax effected manner using a 6.7% tax rate for fiscal 2025 and 23.2% tax rate for Q4 fiscal 2025
3     The Company has not reconciled the Adjusted EPS guidance for fiscal 2026 to the most comparable GAAP outlook because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of management’s control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide guidance for the comparable GAAP financial measure. Forward-looking guidance regarding Adjusted EPS is made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted EPS are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted EPS, are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current periods’ net income (loss), average diluted shares outstanding and GAAP EPS to the historical periods' net income (loss), average diluted shares outstanding and GAAP EPS, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s net income (loss) and GAAP EPS to that of other companies. The Company believes that presenting Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted EPS provides a better understanding of its earnings power inclusive of adjusting for the non-cash amortization of intangible assets, reflecting the Company’s strategy to grow through acquisitions as well as organically.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Measures 16 The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company has provided this non-GAAP financial information, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in this presentation that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation. The non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.  Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin  Adjusted RSG&A and Adjusted RSG&A as a Percentage of Sales  Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin  Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS  Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin  Free Cash Flow  Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio Forward-Looking: The Company has not reconciled the Adjusted EPS guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of management’s control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide guidance for the comparable GAAP financial measure. Forward-looking guidance regarding Adjusted EPS for fiscal 2026 is made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein. Forward looking guidance regarding Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the proforma combination of Columbus McKinnon and the Kito Crosby acquisition is made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein.


 
Non-GAAP Measures: Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin 17 Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as gross profit as reported, adjusted for certain items. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net sales. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin, are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s gross profit and gross profit margin to the historical periods' gross profit and gross margin, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s gross profit and gross profit margin to that of other companies.

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin, are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter and year’s income from operations and operating margin to the historical periods' income from operations and operating margin, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s income from operations and operating margin to that of other companies.


 
Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) as reported, adjusted for certain items, including amortization of intangibles, and also adjusted for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding is defined as average diluted shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive share-based awards. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income per Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted EPS are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted EPS, are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of current periods' net income (loss), average diluted shares outstanding and GAAP EPS to the historical periods' net income (loss), average diluted shares outstanding and GAAP EPS, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s net income (loss) and GAAP EPS to that of other companies. The Company believes that presenting Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted EPS provides a better understanding of its earnings power inclusive of adjusting for the non-cash amortization of intangible assets, reflecting the Company’s strategy to grow through acquisitions as well as organically.

Non-GAAP Measures: Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio 23 Net Debt is defined in the credit agreement as total debt plus standby letters of credit, net of cash and cash equivalents. Net Leverage Ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by the Credit Agreement Trailing Twelve Month (“TTM”) Adjusted EBITDA. Credit Agreement TTM Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the Company’s credit agreement as net income adjusted for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other adjustments. Net Debt, Net Leverage Ratio and Credit Agreement TTM Adjusted EBITDA are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, the Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Net Debt, Net Leverage Ratio and Credit Agreement TTM Adjusted EBITDA are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements. 1 EBITDA is normalized to include a full year of the acquired entity and assumes all cost synergies are achieved in fiscal year 2024. 2 The Company’s credit agreement definition of Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain acquisition deal and integration costs and business realignment costs that are incurred beyond one year after the close of an acquisition. 3 The Company's credit agreement definition of Adjusted EBITDA excludes any cash restructuring costs in excess of $10 million per fiscal year. 4 Customer bad debt represents a reserve of $1,299,000 against an accounts receivable balance for a customer who declared bankruptcy in January of 2025.
