Columbus McKinnon Reports Continued Sales Growth and Gross Margin Expansion in Q1 FY25; Reaffirms FY25 Guidance

Columbus McKinnon Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCO) ("Columbus McKinnon" or the "Company"), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of intelligent motion solutions for material handling, today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2025 first quarter, which ended June 30, 2024.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights (compared with prior-year period, except where otherwise noted)

  • Net sales increased 2% to $239.7 million with strength in precision conveyance
  • Backlog increased 4% from the prior quarter with book-to-bill ratio of 1.05x
  • Gross margin increased 30 bps to 37.1%; Adjusted Gross Margin1 increased 110 bps to 38.0%
  • Net income of $8.6 million or 3.6% of sales including $2.6 million2 of costs for factory simplification as we transition manufacturing to our Monterrey, MX facility
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 2% to $37.5 million with Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 of 15.6%
  • Net cash used for operating activities improved $6.5 million from the prior year
  • Increased financial flexibility with Q1 FY25 debt repayment of $20 million; Expect FY25 debt repayment of $60 million

“We executed solidly in the first quarter delivering continued sales growth and gross margin expansion while advancing our longer-term strategic objectives,” said David J. Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our commercial and operational initiatives are positively impacting the business enabling new customer wins, growth in attractive vertical markets and an encouraging funnel of promising business opportunities.”

“Earlier this month, we initiated the next phase of our footprint simplification plan and began consolidating an additional production facility into our Monterrey manufacturing center of excellence,” continued Wilson. “While the restructuring actions associated with this plan are expected to impact sales and margin in the second quarter, the impacts were contemplated in the full-year guidance we provided last quarter. Importantly, these actions will advance our operational and margin expansion efforts and enhance shareholder value over time.”

______________________

1

Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS 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.

Represents $3.6 million of costs related to factory simplification taxed at a 28.4% rate

3

montratec was acquired May 31, 2023.

4

The Company has not reconciled the Adjusted EPS and Net Leverage Ratio guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measure 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 measures. Forward-looking guidance regarding Adjusted EPS and Net Leverage Ratio is made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein and in alignment with the Company's financial covenants per the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

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, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s gross profit and gross profit margin to that of other companies.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are defined as net income and diluted EPS as reported, adjusted for certain items, including amortization of intangibles, and also adjusted for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted Net Income 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 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 quarter’s net income and diluted EPS to the historical periods' net income and diluted EPS, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s net income and diluted EPS to that of other companies. The Company believes that presenting 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.

Net Debt, Net Leverage Ratio and Credit Agreement Trailing Twelve Month 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 Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements.
