Immediate Release     
Columbus McKinnon Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2022
BUFFALO, NY, October 28, 2021 - 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 2022 second quarter, which ended September 30, 2021. Results include the addition of Dorner Manufacturing Corporation, which was acquired on April 7, 2021.
Second Quarter Highlights (compared with prior year period)
42% revenue growth driven by strong volume, contribution of acquisition and strategic pricing
CMBS enables continued margin expansion resulting in record gross margin of 36.3%, up 80 basis points; record adjusted gross margin of 36.7% expanded 230 basis points
Strategic pricing more than offset material cost inflation pressure
Achieved net income of $15.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share; adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.74
Adjusted EBITDA was $36.0 million, or 16.1% of revenue up 270 basis points
Generated $25.3 million in cash from operations or $22.2 million in free cash flow1
David Wilson, President and CEO of Columbus McKinnon, commented, “Demand for our products remains strong as we execute our Blueprint for Growth 2.0 strategy. Our team has worked tirelessly to address supply chain challenges with agility and has overcome the impacts of rapid inflation with additional price increases. We believe the Columbus McKinnon Business System (“CMBS”), which provides the framework to scale the organization, is becoming more robust and enabling improved results. Also of note, the Dorner acquisition has provided a foundation to evolve our business model into higher growth, less cyclical industries as we continue to expand in the Life Sciences, E-Commerce and Consumer Packaging markets. We expect to leverage this platform to further transform our Company into a high value, intelligent motion enterprise.”
1 Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures. See the accompanying discussion and reconciliation found in the Additional Data table in this release.

Dorner added $3.4 million in adjusted operating income. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.74 in the fiscal 2022 second quarter compared with $0.44 in the prior year. Adjusted EPS excludes amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions. The Company believes this better represents its inherent earnings power and cash generation capability.

Columbus McKinnon expects third quarter fiscal 2022 sales of approximately $215 million at current exchange rates. This outlook includes the expectation that supply chain constraints continue and reflects typical seasonality, given holidays and fewer shipping days.

(1) Applies a normalized tax rate of 22% to GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP adjustments above, which are each pre-tax.

Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are defined as net income and diluted EPS as reported, adjusted for certain items, including amortization of intangible assets, and also adjusted for 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 with the measures used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted net income and 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 representing 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 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 information, such as adjusted EBITDA, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements.
