Strong orders in the quarter led by precision conveyance platform
CHARLOTTE, NC, January 31, 2024 - 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.

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 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.

© 2023 COLUMBUS MCKINNON CORPORATION 20 The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company has provided this non-GAAP financial information, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in this presentation that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation. The non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. • Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin • Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin • Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin • ROIC • Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion • Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio We have not reconciled Free Cash Flow Conversion outlook to the most comparable GAAP outlook because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of management’s control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide outlook for the comparable GAAP measures. Forward-looking estimates of Free Cash Flow Conversion are made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein. Non-GAAP Measures

Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, 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 gross profit and gross profit margin to the historical periods' gross profit and gross margin, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s gross profit and gross profit margin to that of other companies.
