BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 2023 second quarter, which ended September 30, 2022. Results include the addition of Garvey Corporation, which was acquired on December 1, 2021.

Second Quarter Highlights (compared with prior year period)

• Delivered revenue of $232 million, up 8.5% on a constant currency basis
• Produced record operating income of $27.4 million as regional realignment initiative delivered lower costs and improved collaboration across product categories
• Realized earnings per diluted share of $0.49 and adjusted EPS* of $0.73
• Achieved record adjusted EBITDA* margin of 16.8%
• Demonstrated strength of cash generation capabilities with $17 million in cash from operations in the quarter

David Wilson, President and CEO of Columbus McKinnon, commented, “We produced another solid quarter as we execute our strategy to drive growth and improve our cost structure to deliver stronger earnings power and cash generation. We demonstrated progress toward our long-term objectives as we achieved record operating income and record adjusted EBITDA margin in the period. We had strong cash generation in the quarter as well, enabling us to continue to reduce debt and increase our financial flexibility. Importantly, we are leveraging secular tailwinds as our intelligent motion solutions address the trends in automation, productivity and supply chain regionalization.”

He added, “The expected benefits of our regional realignment are ahead of plan and visible on many fronts. The increased collaboration across product teams has resulted in new sales opportunities while the restructuring has also reduced costs. The interaction and engagement are especially important as we continue to address the challenges of supply chain shortages and the need for heightened communications with customers in these unusually unsettling times. Our focus is on execution, improving our customer experience and delivering results.”

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

For the quarter, sales increased $8.1 million, or 3.6%. The acquisition contributed $9.0 million in sales which helped to offset unfavorable foreign currency translation of $11.0 million, or 4.9% of total sales. In the U.S., price improved $7.6 million, or 5.8%, which offset the $4.5 million, or 3.4% decline in volume. U.S. sales related to the acquisition were $5.9 million. Outside the U.S., increased volume of $3.6 million, or 3.8%, price improvement of $3.4 million, or 3.7%, and the $3.1 million of sales related to the acquisitions mostly offset unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.73 excludes amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions. The Company believes this better represents its inherent earnings power and cash generation capability.

Mr. Wilson concluded, “We are being very intentional in our strategy deployment process to advance toward our growth and profitability goals. We believe we are a better business than we were just two years ago with a stronger earnings profile, a better product and market mix and a streamlined team that is intensely focused on execution. Although the macro environment is unsettling, we are deliberate in our actions to create value for our customers, execute our plans and deliver on our goals.”

(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.

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 income from operations is defined as income from operations as reported, adjusted for certain items. Adjusted income from operations 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 income from operations, 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 income from operations to the historical periods' income from operations, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s income from operations 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 defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other adjustments. 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.
