Columbus McKinnon Reports 33% Operating Income Growth on 10% Net Sales Growth for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2024

Strong orders in the quarter led by precision conveyance platform

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 2024 third quarter, which ended December 31, 2023. Results include the addition of montratec®, which was acquired on May 31, 2023 ("the acquisition").

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

  • Orders increased 8% demonstrating continued progress with growth initiatives and included a

    23% increase in precision conveyance orders
  • Net sales increased 10% to $254.1 million primarily driven by strength across all product platforms led by precision conveyance
  • Gross margin expanded 130 basis points to 36.9%; Adjusted Gross Margin1 expanded 160 basis points to 37.2%
  • Operating income increased 33% to $26.9 million, or 10.6% of net sales; Adjusted Operating Income1 was $29.7 million, or 11.7% of net sales
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $28.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, up 69% from the prior year period; continued accelerated debt repayment in the quarter
  • Completed construction and took occupancy of a state-of-the-art manufacturing center of excellence in Mexico, which will provide significant growth capacity and cost savings over time

“We are pleased with the strong orders, sales, operating income, and cash flow generation we delivered in the quarter. Our team continued to execute commercial and operational initiatives, improving productivity, reducing lead times, and enhancing our customer experience. Our top-line growth translated to expanded operating margin demonstrating the incremental leverage of our business as we continue to drive year-over-year improvements leveraging CMBS and the 80/20 process,” said David J. Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have an encouraging funnel for both short cycle and large projects as we continue to execute on our strategy to become a leader in intelligent motion solutions. Our progress gives us confidence in our near- and long-term financial objectives, which we believe will drive meaningful shareholder value.”

1 Additional Data: This data is provided to help investors understand financial and operational metrics that management uses to measure the Company’s financial performance and identify trends affecting the business. These measures may not be comparable with or defined in the same manner as other companies.

2 December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 exclude the impact of the acquisition of montratec GmbH.

3 December 31, 2022 figure excludes the impact of the acquisition of Garvey Corporation.

4 Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures as defined or used by other companies. Nevertheless, the Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Free Cash Flow, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s Free Cash Flow to Free Cash Flow for historical periods.

Applies a normalized tax rate of 25% in fiscal 2024 and 22% in fiscal 2023 to GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP adjustments above, which are each pre-tax.

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 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, are 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.

During the quarter ending December 31, 2023, certain employees in one of the Company's U.S. pension plans accepted an offer to settle their pension obligation with a lump sum payment. These lump sum settlements are one of the steps the Company is taking to terminate the plan by transferring the liabilities to a third-party. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash settlement charge in the amount $4,599,000.

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