CMCO - Columbus McKinnon Operating Income Increased 32% on 7% Sales Growth in Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2023

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 third quarter, which ended December 31, 2022. Results include the addition of Garvey Corporation, which was acquired on December 1, 2021.

Third Quarter Highlights (compared with prior year period)

  • Sales were up 7% to $230.4 million driven by improved volume and pricing; up 11% on a constant currency basis
  • Operating income increased 32% to $20.2 million on expanded gross margin and operating leverage driven by price, strong acquisition performance and higher volume
  • Solid operating performance drove net income growth of 22% to $12.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share; adjusted EPS for the quarter was $0.72
  • Daily order rate up 3% sequentially to $215.0 million compared with the second quarter
  • Backlog of $329.1 million reflects 28% reduction in past due orders in quarter
  • Paid down $30.4 million in debt year-to-date; reduced net debt leverage ratio to 2.7x

David J. Wilson, President and CEO, commented, “We achieved solid sales growth as our team took steps to improve our customers’ experience through reductions in past due backlog and improvements in lead times. We were also very pleased with sales and orders in Europe, which have held up well under our new leadership structure. Encouragingly, operating income grew by 32% on 7% higher sales. Importantly, we further reduced debt by $10 million in the quarter in line with our current capital allocation priorities as we continue to strengthen our balance sheet.”

He added, “We are transforming Columbus McKinnon into a leading motion control enterprise for material handling. Our strategy pursues expansion in secular growth markets while leveraging the broader benefits associated with the megatrends of supply chain automation, industrial productivity and regionalization. We are expanding our technology offerings and market reach through innovation while continually exploring opportunities to selectively acquire new capabilities. We expect the Columbus McKinnon Business System to provide the discipline and processes to execute our plan. We believe our actions are improving the business and we remain optimistic regarding our ability to achieve our long-term financial objectives.”

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.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.72 excludes amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions. The Company believes this better represents its inherent earnings power and cash generation capability.

The Company paid down $10 million in long term debt in the quarter and used $1 million in cash to repurchase 31,085 shares at an average price of $32.17 per share.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023 Outlook

Columbus McKinnon expects fourth quarter fiscal 2023 sales of approximately $240 million to $250 million at current exchange rates. At the mid-point of this guidance range, the growth rate for the full year of fiscal 2023 is expected to be approximately 6% on a constant currency basis.

Mr. Wilson concluded, “We are encouraged with our prospects as we enter our fourth quarter and advance the transformation of Columbus McKinnon. We have several initiatives underway that will improve our customers’ experience, strengthen our business, expand margins and drive further innovation. Importantly, we expect to continue delivering year-over-year growth despite a slowing economic environment as we advance our strategy to achieve our long-term financial objectives.”

(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 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.
