“Our team delivered solid results in our first full quarter as a combined company, while also continuing to progress the integration and realize synergies,” said David J. Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “I am pleased with the strong start to the year, including substantial orders growth supported by robust U.S. short-cycle demand, increasing our confidence in the year ahead.”

“Disciplined execution in the first quarter led to significant margin expansion, which included the accretive impact of the Kito Crosby Acquisition, synergy realization and benefits to material costs that were specific to the quarter,” continued Wilson. “I remain confident in our ability to create shareholder value as we drive organic growth, improve margins, deliver free cash flow, and de-lever the balance sheet.”

The Company ended the first quarter with a Credit Agreement Net Leverage Ratio² of 4.9x and total liquidity of $567.1 million consisting of $98.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, $468.7 million of availability on the Company’s revolving credit facility and no availability on the Company’s AR securitization facility.

The Company generated $25.6 million in cash provided by operating activities in the quarter, with capital expenditures of $5.7 million resulting in Free Cash Flow² of $20.0 million. Excluding cash payments related to the integration of the Kito Crosby Acquisition of $12.5 million, Free Cash Flow Excluding Deal Costs² was $32.4 million.

The Company remains committed to allocating capital to pay down debt to de-lever its balance sheet in the near term while continuing its track record of consistent dividend payment.

Fiscal Year 2027 Guidance

Based on year-to-date performance and its outlook, the Company is increasing its outlook for fiscal 2027, ending March 31, 2027 as follows:

Metric	Updated FY27 Outlook	Prior FY27 Outlook
Net sales	$2.09 billion to $2.15 billion	$2.05 billion to $2.12 billion
Adjusted EBITDA⁵	$405 million to $420 million	$390 million to $410 million
Adjusted EPS⁵	$1.90 to $2.10	$1.70 to $1.90

Fiscal 2027 guidance assumes approximately:

$185 million to $190 million of interest expense,
$135 million to $140 million of amortization expense,
$75 million to $80 million of depreciation expense,
Normalized effective tax rate of 25% as used in the calculation of Adjusted EPS, and
52 million Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding⁵ as a result of the Company’s expectation that the dividends payable on the Preferred Shares⁶ will be accrued, accumulated and compounded, rather than being paid in cash during fiscal 2027.

“Our revised full year outlook reflects the strong orders and financial performance from our first quarter and increased confidence in the year. The revised outlook is based on our latest assumptions for sales phasing based on our current backlog as well as updated foreign exchange rates,” said John Linker, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Our guidance also reflects additional confidence in cost synergy realization and progress towards achieving our leverage reduction targets.”

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 August 13, 2026.

______________________
¹	“Legacy CMCO” is defined as reported Columbus McKinnon adjusting for the removal of the Divestiture and the Kito Crosby Acquisition in all comparable periods.
²	Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS, Legacy CMCO Net Sales Growth, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Excluding Deal Costs and Credit Agreement Net Leverage Ratio 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.
³	Adjusted EPS excludes, among other adjustments, amortization of intangible assets. The Company believes this better represents its inherent earnings power and cash generation capability.
⁴	As part of the Kito Crosby Acquisition, the Company was required to divest its U.S. power chain hoist (other than with respect to Little Mule products) and chain manufacturing operations, which closed on March 4, 2026 (the “Divestiture”).
⁵	The Company has not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding guidance for fiscal 2027 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 guidance for the comparable GAAP financial measures. Forward-looking guidance regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are made in a manner consistent with previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
⁶	800,000 Series A Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Shares of the Company, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Shares”).

Legacy CMCO Net Sales Growth is defined as the change in Legacy CMCO Net Sales between the current period and the prior year period divided by prior year period Legacy CMCO Net Sales. Legacy CMCO Net Sales and Legacy CMCO Net Sales Growth are not determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with non-GAAP net sales calculations used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Legacy CMCO Net Sales and Legacy CMCO Net Sales Growth, 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 fiscal year’s net sales and net sales growth to the historical periods’ net sales.

¹	EBITDA is normalized to include a full year of performance from Kito Crosby and Divestiture and assumes all cost synergies are achieved in fiscal 2026.
²	For its annual goodwill impairment test for fiscal 2026, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative impairment test for its reporting units, comparing the carrying amount of each reporting unit with its estimated fair value. While each of the individual reporting units initially had fair values in excess of their book value, the sustained reduction in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization resulted in the aggregate equity value of the combined company exceeding its market capitalization at its annual measurement date. On this basis, the Company reevaluated the fair value of each of its reporting units and this resulted in a partial impairment of the goodwill for the Precision Conveyance reporting unit in the amount of $200,000,000.
³	The Company’s Credit Agreement definition of Net Debt excludes any debt related to its AR securitization facility given that borrowings under the AR securitization facility support the Company’s short term working capital needs.

Credit Agreement Net Debt is defined in the Company’s Credit Agreement as total debt plus standby letters of credit, net of cash and cash equivalents and AR securitization facility obligations. Credit Agreement Net Leverage Ratio is defined as Credit Agreement Net Debt divided by the Credit Agreement Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA. Credit Agreement Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the Company’s Credit Agreement as net income adjusted for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other adjustments. Credit Agreement Net Debt, Credit Agreement Net Leverage Ratio and Credit Agreement Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, the Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Credit Agreement Net Debt, Credit Agreement Net Leverage Ratio and Credit Agreement Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements.
