Columbus McKinnon Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2021
BUFFALO, NY, October 29, 2020 - Columbus McKinnon Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of motion control products, technologies and services for material handling, today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2021 second quarter, which ended September 30, 2020.
Second Quarter Highlights
•Strong sequential improvement demonstrates effectiveness of cost saving and self-help improvement measures
•Revenue up 13.5% over trailing first fiscal quarter to $157.8 million; at high end of expected range
•Operating income of $15.8 million or 10.0% of sales; Adjusted operating income* of $14.0 million, or 8.9% of sales
•Cash from operations in the quarter was $37.4 million driven by a disciplined focus on reducing working capital requirements
•Advancing product launches and broadening offerings in Compass™ configurator
David Wilson, President and CEO of Columbus McKinnon, commented, “We delivered solid results in the quarter achieving the higher end of our expected revenue range and demonstrated our capabilities to drive profitability and strong cash generation in a challenging environment. In fact, the 80/20 Process, a key tool in our business system, contributed $3.4 million in operating income during the quarter, helping to offset headwinds caused by the pandemic. Our strong cash flow and excellent liquidity position enabled our repayment of the $25 million Revolver borrowing in early October.
“We are building momentum as we strengthen our business operating system, evolve the Blueprint for Growth strategy and pivot to growth. Our focus is on identifying opportunities to both deepen our market penetration and expand our addressable markets. We have the financial strength to continue to invest in prioritized growth initiatives even as we carefully manage our operations and ensure the safety and well-being of the Columbus McKinnon team.”
*Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure. See accompanying discussion and reconciliation table in this release regarding adjusted operating income.

Compared with the prior-year period, lower volume was due to the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lower U.S. sales volume more than offset a 1.1% price improvement while lower volume outside the U.S. was somewhat offset by a $2.2 million, or 2.3%, positive impact from foreign currency translation and price improvement of 1.2%.
Compared with the trailing first quarter, sales improved 13.5% with short cycle sales up 22.2% and project sales up 5.5%.

*A non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income plus depreciation and amortization. Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss).
Adjusted income from operations was $14.0 million, or 8.9% of sales. Decremental adjusted operating income leverage from the prior-year period was 25% which continues to demonstrate better than historic decremental leverage. (See the reconciliation of GAAP income from operations to adjusted income from operations on the attached tables.) Net loss for the quarter was $4.1 million, which included a $16.3 million non-cash pension settlement charge related to the termination of a U.S. pension plan.
On a sequential basis, Adjusted EBITDA was up $9.1 million, or 74.9%, to $21.1 million on an $18.7 million increase in sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 470 basis points sequentially to 13.4% from the fiscal 2021 first quarter.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Outlook
Orders were up nearly 26% compared with the trailing first quarter. Order growth was driven mostly by the recovery of the short cycle business, which improved 41% over the first quarter this fiscal year whereas the project business grew at a rate of 12%. Total backlog has recovered to pre-COVID levels and long-term backlog, which is expected to ship beyond the fiscal third quarter, grew to 41.5% of total backlog. As a result, the Company expects third quarter fiscal 2021 revenue to be within a range of approximately $150 million to $160 million at current exchange rates.

Mr. Wilson concluded, “I am really proud of the team and how we have executed in the first half of the fiscal year. Importantly, we are keeping our eye on the long term as we advance our strategic plan. In the second quarter, we launched several new products, expanded the capabilities of our Compass™ configurator and increased our focus on improving our customers’ experience. I am confident we will continue to execute well, and we will emerge from these challenging times a better company.”

Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit as reported, adjusted for certain items. Adjusted gross profit is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP, and may not be comparable with the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted gross profit, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s and current year's gross profit to the historical periods' gross profit, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s gross profit to that of other companies.

Adjusted income from operations is defined as income from operations as reported, adjusted for certain items. Adjusted income from operations is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP, and may not be comparable with the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted income from operations, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s and current year's income from operations to the historical periods' income from operations, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s income from operations to that of other companies.

Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are defined as net income and diluted EPS as reported, adjusted for certain items and at a normalized tax rate. Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP, and may not be comparable to the measures as used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP, and may not be comparable with the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted EBITDA, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements.
