    CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 2026 second quarter, which ended September 30, 2025. 

    Columbus McKinnon Corporation (PRNewsfoto/Columbus McKinnon Corporation)

    Second Quarter 2026 Highlights (compared with prior-year period, except where otherwise noted)

    • Net sales of $261.0 million increased 8%, driven by growth across all platforms with particular strength in lifting and linear motion
    • Orders of $253.7 million were impacted by a weaker macroeconomic landscape in EMEA, partially offset by U.S. orders growth of 11%
    • Backlog of $351.6 million increased 11% and the opportunity funnel remains healthy
    • Net income of $4.6 million with a net income margin of 1.8% includes $10.0 million of Kito Crosby acquisition-related expenses on a pre-tax basis
    • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $37.4 million increased 22% sequentially with Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 of 14.3% up 130 basis points on a sequential basis
    • Debt repayment of $14.7 million in Q2 FY26

    "Our team delivered a solid second quarter as the U.S. short-cycle market recovered and we executed on our record backlog," said David J. Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our funnel of quotation activity remains healthy, driven by attractive global opportunities and an improving demand environment in the United States. While the funnel of activity in EMEA remains attractive, order conversion rates there have slowed recently given a weaker macroeconomic sentiment."

    "We are pleased with our tariff mitigation actions to date, which delivered a lower impact in the first half than we previously expected. We continue to anticipate an approximately $10 million tariff-related impact for the full year and that we will absorb the remaining impact in our third quarter. We remain focused on our mitigation actions and expect to achieve tariff cost neutrality by the end of the current fiscal year," continued Wilson. "Additionally, we are advancing our integration readiness and synergy achievement plans ahead of the pending acquisition of Kito Crosby. Our team continues to prepare for the closing of the acquisition as quickly as the regulatory process will allow."

    Capital Allocation Priorities

    The Company remains committed to allocating capital to pay down debt to deleverage its balance sheet in the near term while continuing its track record of a consistent dividend payment. Over time, the Company believes it will be positioned to utilize its expected significant free cash flow generation to advance its Intelligent Motion strategy across the fragmented marketplace.

    Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance

    The Company is increasing its outlook for net sales and reaffirming guidance for Adjusted EPS1 in fiscal 2026. The Company's guidance does not include the impact of the pending Kito Crosby acquisition, which is now expected to close by the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, the guidance reflects the current tariff environment as of the date of this release, which has remained volatile to date and may impact future supply chain costs and product availability. The guidance assumes tariff cost neutrality by the end of fiscal 2026 benefiting from price increases, tariff surcharges, and supply chain adjustments.

    Teleconference and Webcast

    Columbus McKinnon will host a conference call today at 10:00 AM Eastern Time to discuss the Company's financial results and strategy. The conference call, earnings release and earnings presentation will be accessible through live webcast on the Company's investor relations website at investors.cmco.com.  A replay of the webcast will also be archived on the Company's investor relations website through November 6, 2025.













    1

    Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures.  See accompanying discussion and reconciliation tables provided in this release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measures.

    2

    Adjusted EPS excludes, among other adjustments, amortization of intangible assets.  The Company believes this better represents its inherent earnings power and cash generation capability.

    3

    The Company has not reconciled the Adjusted EPS guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measure 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 guidance for the comparable GAAP financial measure. Forward-looking guidance regarding Adjusted EPS is made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein.

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

    Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) and GAAP EPS as reported, adjusted for certain items, including amortization of intangibles, and also adjusted for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding is defined as average diluted shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive share-based awards. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income per Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted 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, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted EPS, are important for investors and other readers of the Company's financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of current periods' net income (loss), average diluted shares outstanding and GAAP EPS to the historical periods' net income (loss), average diluted shares outstanding and GAAP EPS, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company's net income (loss) and GAAP EPS to that of other companies.  The Company believes that presenting Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and 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.
