Columbus McKinnon Reports Revenue Growth of 30% for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2022

BUFFALO, NY, January 27, 2022 - 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 third quarter, which ended December 31, 2021. Results include the additions of Dorner Manufacturing Corporation and Garvey Corporation, which were acquired on April 7, 2021 and December 1, 2021, respectively.
Third Quarter Highlights (compared with prior year period)
Advancing Columbus McKinnon’s transformation to intelligent motion solutions for material handling
Garvey acquisition enhances precision conveyance platform with leading accumulation systems
Sales grew 30% from acquisitions, strong organic volume and improved pricing
Orders up 14% year-over-year excluding acquisitions; strong demand across end markets; Backlog at quarter end was record $295 million
Gross margin was 34.7%; adjusted gross margin of 36.7% matched record set in second quarter
Solid cash generation while building inventory to address strong demand amidst supply chain constraints
David Wilson, President and CEO of Columbus McKinnon, commented, “We believe our strong results in the quarter reflect our successful execution of the Blueprint for Growth 2.0 strategy as we advance the transformation of Columbus McKinnon. The acquisition of Garvey Corporation completed in December 2021 was an excellent example of an ideal bolt-on acquisition that expands our precision conveyance capabilities and deepens our reach into the fast growing and less cyclical food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, strong volume and productivity, combined with pricing that more than offset material inflation, delivered record third quarter gross margin. We are successfully navigating a dynamic and challenging environment and delivering solid results while experiencing strong demand across the business. As a result, we are entering our fiscal fourth quarter with record backlog.”
He added, “As a global expert in floor-to-ceiling intelligent motion solutions for material handling, we see our solutions as uniquely positioned to drive value in this global economy. Our solutions are enabling our customers in e-commerce, food & beverage, life sciences, aerospace and automotive to address some of the most pressing issues that they are facing today. We are providing critical support for vaccine deliveries, e-commerce expansion, supply chain rebalancing, labor shortages, capacity expansion and modernization.”

For the quarter, sales increased $49.5 million, or 29.7%. Acquisitions added $36.4 million in sales. In the U.S., volume improved $6.5 million, or 7.5%, and price improved $3.2 million, or 3.6%. U.S. sales related to acquisitions were $31.4 million. Outside the U.S., volume improved $2.4 million, or 3.1%, and price improved $2.5 million, or 3.1%.

See accompanying discussion and reconciliation tables in this release regarding adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EPS, and the reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA.
Acquisitions added $6.8 million in adjusted operating income. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.60 in the fiscal 2022 third quarter compared with $0.36 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.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 Outlook
Columbus McKinnon expects fourth quarter fiscal 2022 sales of approximately $235 million at current exchange rates. Mr. Wilson commented, “We have had great momentum throughout fiscal 2022 and expect to end on a strong note. As we look beyond this fiscal year, we are greatly encouraged with the progress we are making as an organization as we focus on faster growing markets, enhance our capabilities with new technologies and build a world-class organization that will be central to the automation of material handling around the world.”

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 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 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.
