Columbus McKinnon Reports Record Sales and Operating Income
for Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2024
CHARLOTTE, NC, November 1, 2023 - Columbus McKinnon Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of intelligent motion solutions for material handling, today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2024 second quarter, which ended September 30, 2023. Results include the addition of montratec®, which was acquired on May 31, 2023 ("the acquisition").
Second Quarter Highlights (compared with prior-year period, except where otherwise noted)
•Growth strategy drives record sales of $258.4 million, up 12% over same period in the prior year
•CMBS enables record gross margin of 38.7%; 190 basis point margin expansion sequentially
•Record operating income of $33.4 million, up 22% over prior year
•Expanded financial flexibility while reducing debt; paid down $15 million in debt and increasing debt pay down plans by $10 million to $50 million in fiscal 2024
•Expect to surpass $1 billion in revenue in fiscal 2024; advancing toward fiscal 2027 targets
David J. Wilson, President and CEO, commented, “Our second quarter results reflect the meaningful progress we are making as our team executes toward our fiscal 2027 targets. We achieved several new milestones this quarter including record revenue, gross margin and operating income. Being customer led is a foundational component of the Columbus McKinnon Business System (“CMBS”) which drives continuous improvement, discipline, communication and accountability. We remain laser focused on improving our customers’ experience and our progress has been validated by recent improvements in our net promoter score. The 80/20 process is another key focus area of CMBS with our current priority being product line simplification. Beyond optimizing financial performance, this will lead to improved product offerings, stronger market positioning and the ability to simplify our factory footprint.”
Mr. Wilson noted, “We are clearly building momentum within the organization and expect to surpass $1 billion in revenue in fiscal 2024. We also expect to deliver approximately 150 basis points of year-over-year gross margin expansion, exceeding our previous guidance. We are excited about the prospects for our precision conveyance platform including the recent addition of the montratec business. This, in combination with our organic growth initiatives, is driving the transformation of Columbus McKinnon to a less cyclical, higher growth and more profitable enterprise.”

*Adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. See accompanying discussion and reconciliation tables in this release regarding adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted EPS, and the reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.76 excludes amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions. The Company believes this better represents its inherent earnings power and cash generation capability.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Outlook
Columbus McKinnon expects third quarter fiscal 2024 sales of approximately $245 million to $255 million at current exchange rates. This represents 9% growth year-over-year at the midpoint of the range.
Mr. Wilson concluded, “This quarter’s record financial performance provides additional proof points that demonstrate progress toward our fiscal 2027 targets. Given these results, we are accelerating debt repayment even as we invest in improving productivity and simplifying our footprint. We now expect our net leverage ratio to be approximately 2.3x1 by the end of fiscal 2024. As we execute our strategy, we are building an enterprise that can deliver stronger growth and increased profitability as we advance the transformation of Columbus McKinnon.”

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.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted 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 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 with the measures used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, 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 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 diluted 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 is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other adjustments. 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 financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements.
