Columbus McKinnon Reports Financial Results for Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2021

BUFFALO, N.Y.--()--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 2021 fourth quarter, which ended March 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021 Highlights

  • Executed on Blueprint for Growth 2.0 strategy to deliver solid results in challenging year while building momentum for fiscal 2022
  • Ended year with much improved order volume in fourth quarter; orders up 24% over trailing third quarter and up 6% over prior-year period
  • Delivered $186.2 million in revenue in the quarter, up 12% sequentially
  • Generated strong cash from operations in fiscal year of $98.9 million
  • Entered fiscal 2022 with backlog of $171.7 million, up 31% over prior-year period and 13% over trailing quarter
  • Advanced strategy with the acquisition of new platform of high-precision conveying systems for intelligent motion in material handling
  • Successfully completed equity and debt financing transactions

David Wilson, President and CEO of Columbus McKinnon, commented, “We ended fiscal 2021 on a high note with orders growing in both our project and short cycle businesses. While the year was challenged with the impact of the global pandemic and resulting recession, we employed the tools of the Columbus McKinnon Business System to keep our momentum building and make our Company stronger. We delivered improved decremental leverage over previous downturns, generated robust cash flow, reduced our working capital requirements, and introduced several new products including our line of Intelli-Crane™ solutions. In addition, we identified and announced the Dorner acquisition which establishes a new platform for growth. It provides a catalyst for faster growth in attractive markets with strong tailwinds and presents strategic opportunities in a fragmented market. Since entering fiscal 2022, we have successfully issued equity, restructured our debt and are well positioned to quickly de-lever our balance sheet.”

Revenue recovered sequentially throughout fiscal 2021 almost approaching levels recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 when the COVID-19 global pandemic had an approximate $10 million impact on revenue. A 0.8% price improvement in the U.S. partially offset approximately $10.1 million in lower volume. Outside the U.S., a $5.9 million, or 6.9%, positive impact from foreign currency translation and price improvement of 1.2% more than offset $0.9 million of lower volume.

Compared with the trailing third quarter, sales improved 11.8% with short cycle sales up 11.7% and project sales up 11.9%.

First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Outlook

The Company expects first quarter fiscal 2022 sales to be within a range of approximately $212 million to $217 million at current exchange rates and including the Dorner acquisition.

Mr. Wilson concluded, “We are encouraged with growing demand for our lifting solutions as customers release projects and short cycle order trends improve. We are also excited about the addition of Dorner to our relevant portfolio of intelligent motion solutions and are seeing strong demand for high-precision conveying solutions. In fact, the business ended April with a record backlog, further confirming our conviction in the value of this acquisition.”

(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. Components may not add due to rounding.

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 and at 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 to the measures as 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.

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.
