Immediate Release

Columbus McKinnon Reports Revenue Grew 36% to Record $253 Million in

Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2022

BUFFALO, NY, May 25, 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 fourth quarter, which ended March 31, 2022. Results include the additions of Dorner Manufacturing Corporation and Garvey Corporation, which were acquired on April 7, 2021 and December 1, 2021, respectively.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Highlights (compared with prior year periods)

•Achieved record sales in the quarter with better than expected revenue growth of $67.1 million driven by strong demand in all markets; organic growth was 17% and acquisitions contributed $40.5 million

•Record quarterly orders of $269.8 million; ended year with record backlog of $309.1 million

•Net income in the quarter grew 23% to $11.8 million; adjusted EBITDA* expanded 52% to $39.3 million, or 15.4% of revenue

•Fiscal year 2022 revenue grew 40% to a record $906.6 million and net income more than tripled to $29.7 million, or $1.04 per diluted share; achieved adjusted EPS* of $2.83

•Significantly transformed business in fiscal 2022 with addition of precision conveying platform, which contributed $144.6 million in sales for the year

•Continued to demonstrate strong cash generation capabilities with $25.2 million in cash from operations in the quarter and $48.9 million for the fiscal year

David Wilson, President and CEO of Columbus McKinnon, commented, “We delivered exceptional growth as demand for our intelligent motion solutions strengthened throughout the quarter across our end markets. We outpaced our internal growth expectations with innovation, the acceleration of our growth initiatives, and the expansion of our precision conveying platform. In fact, we achieved record sales for both the quarter and the fiscal year.”

He added, “We are being deliberate, flexible and creative as we address the persistent macro challenges that the industrial world is facing. While we were successful in outpacing raw material inflation in the quarter and for the fiscal year, gross margin this quarter was heavily impacted by rising freight costs. We are being diligent about addressing inflationary pressures while executing to deliver on growing demand.”

*Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures. See accompanying discussion and reconciliation tables in this release regarding the reconciliation of GAAP financials to non-GAAP measures.

% of total 41 % 49 %

For the quarter, sales increased $67.1 million, or 36.0%. Acquisitions added $40.5 million in sales, while foreign currency translation had an unfavorable foreign currency translation of $5.0 million, or 2.7% of total sales. In the U.S., volume improved $15.1 million, or 15.9%, and price improved $4.4 million, or 4.7%. U.S. sales related to acquisitions were $34.6 million. Outside the U.S., volume improved $8.1 million, or 8.9%, and price improved $3.9 million, or 4.3%. Acquisitions added $5.9 million of sales outside the U.S.

Adjusted EBITDA* $ 39.3 $ 25.8 $ 13.5 52.1 %
Adjusted EBITDA margin* 15.4 % 13.9 % 150 bps

*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 operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EPS, and the reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA.

Acquisitions added $6.0 million in adjusted operating income. Gross margin for the quarter was dampened by higher inbound freight costs that were incurred to ensure customer requirements were met. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.79 in the fiscal 2022 fourth quarter compared with $0.60 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.

First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Outlook

Columbus McKinnon expects first quarter fiscal 2023 sales of approximately $220 million to $230 million at current exchange rates which year-over-year has an $8 million to $9 million negative impact. Mr. Wilson concluded, “We expect fiscal 2023 to be another great year for Columbus McKinnon. We are transforming the Company into a faster growing, higher margin business that serves secular-driven markets with strong tailwinds. We are heavily focused on execution and remain confident that we are creating a better business model with stronger earnings power.”

(1) Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures. Free cash flow 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 free cash flow, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements.

Components may not add due to rounding.

(2) March 31, 2022 figure excludes the impact of the acquisition of Garvey. December 31, 2021 figure excludes the impacts of the acquisitions of Dorner and Garvey.

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.
