Columbus McKinnon Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of motion control products, technologies and services for material handling, today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2020 fourth quarter, which ended March 31, 2020.

  • Success of Blueprint for Growth Strategy validated with 34.9% gross margin, and record 36.1% adjusted gross margin, despite 12.6% decline in sales
  • 80/20 Process contributed $5.5 million in operating income in quarter helping to offset volume declines
  • Net income was $9.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share; Adjusted net income was $13.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted share
  • Generated $36.5 million in cash from operations in the quarter

Fiscal Year Highlights (compared with prior-year period)

  • Record annual gross margin was 35.0% despite 7.7% decline in sales
  • Operating income was $89.8 million, or 11.1% of sales; 80/20 process contributed $20.4 million
  • Net income was $59.7 million, or $2.50 per diluted share

Richard Fleming, Chairman and Interim CEO of Columbus McKinnon, commented, “We demonstrated the power of our Blueprint for Growth strategy throughout fiscal 2020 with expanded margins despite slowing demand. However, in March the COVID-19 pandemic required us to rapidly implement actions to flex production levels and reduce costs to address the significant decline in demand we are now experiencing. Importantly, we have an excellent capital structure, strong cash generation and sufficient liquidity that will allow us to navigate these uncertain times while continuing to invest in select, strategic initiatives that we believe will enhance our competitive advantages and drive future growth.”

Sales declined primarily on lower volume as improved pricing more than offset the negative impact of changes in foreign currency translation. Sales in the U.S. were down $16.4 million, of which $2.4 million was related to divestitures in the prior-year period. Sales outside the U.S. were down $10.8 million, of which $2.4 million was related to divestitures in the prior-year period and $2.3 million was related to foreign currency translation.

*A non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income plus depreciation and amortization. Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss).

Adjusted income from operations was $20.2 million, down $4.7 million, or 18.9%, compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. Adjusted operating margin declined 80 basis points. (See the reconciliation of GAAP income from operations to adjusted income from operations on page 11 of this release.)

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.4% for the quarter, a decline of 70 basis points over the prior-year period. (See the reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA on page 13 of this release.)

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Outlook

Given the actions taken to reduce costs, the Company expects income from operations would be at breakeven levels if revenue were to decline by 35% from the fourth quarter fiscal 2020. Currently, Columbus McKinnon expects first quarter fiscal 2021 revenue to be approximately $130 million to $140 million at current exchange rates, which is above breakeven.

Mr. Fleming concluded, “We believe that Columbus McKinnon will come out of these unprecedented times a stronger company and are excited to welcome David Wilson to advance our Blueprint for Growth strategy and lead our future endeavors as our new CEO effective June 1, 2020.”

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.
