Insights

CMCO delivered stable Q1 results with challenging margins due to tariff impacts, but strong order growth and backlog support their reaffirmed guidance.

Columbus McKinnon's Q1 FY26 results reveal mixed performance with some encouraging underlying trends. The company reported $235.9 million in revenue, down 1.6% year-over-year, but showed positive order momentum with orders increasing 2% and a substantial 23% backlog expansion to $360.1 million. The book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x suggests healthy demand fundamentals.

However, profitability metrics showed significant pressure. Gross margin contracted 440 basis points to 32.7%, while adjusted operating margin fell 290 basis points to 7.8%. The company posted a net loss of $1.9 million or $0.07 per share, compared to net income of $8.6 million or $0.30 per share in the prior year period. On an adjusted basis, EPS was $0.50, down from $0.62.

The earnings decline was largely attributed to tariff impacts of $4.2 million ($0.11 per share) and $8.1 million in acquisition-related expenses for the pending Kito Crosby deal. Management has maintained its full-year guidance, expecting these tariff headwinds to neutralize by the second half of fiscal 2026 through supply chain adjustments, pricing increases, and surcharge implementation.

The balance sheet position remains solid with $28.7 million in cash and $473.6 million in debt. The company's capital allocation priorities focus on debt reduction in the near term while maintaining its dividend. This conservative approach seems prudent given the pending acquisition and current market uncertainties.

Looking ahead, management has reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 guidance for flat to slightly higher sales and adjusted EPS, excluding any impact from the pending Kito Crosby acquisition. This guidance assumes $35 million in interest expense, $30 million in amortization, a 25% tax rate, and 29 million diluted shares outstanding.

The strong order growth and expanding backlog suggest that CMCO's industrial end markets remain resilient despite macroeconomic uncertainties. The company's ability to navigate tariff pressures through pricing and supply chain adjustments will be crucial for restoring margins in the coming quarters.

"The first quarter largely played out as expected as we delivered sustained order growth in an environment where global tariff policies pressured near-term results," said David J.

"While the geographic distribution of tariffs has evolved, we continue to anticipate approximately $10 million of net tariff impact in the first half of fiscal 2026, consistent with our prior guidance."

"The demand environment remains healthy and our optimism for the business remains unchanged. This was underscored by a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x in the first quarter and a 23% increase in our backlog year-over-year," continued Wilson. "We have a history of successfully navigating uncertain environments and we remain focused on controlling what we can control, while emphasizing strong operational execution, cost management and advancing our strategic plan."

Wilson concluded "We continue to progress towards the closing of the Kito Crosby acquisition and believe with the benefits of scale, improved solutions, the realization of synergies and strong free cash flow, we will be positioned to grow profitably and deliver long-term value for our shareholders."

Capital Allocation Priorities

The Company plans to continue to allocate capital to pay down debt to deleverage its balance sheet in the near term while continuing its track record of a consistent dividend payment. Over time, the Company believes it will be positioned to utilize its expected significant free cash flow generation to advance its Intelligent Motion strategy across the fragmented marketplace.

Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance

The Company is reaffirming guidance for fiscal 2026. Please note that the Company's outlook does not contemplate the impact of the pending Kito Crosby acquisition. Additionally, the guidance only reflects what is known as of the date of this release about the tariff policy environment, which has remained volatile to date and may impact supply chain costs and product availability. This forecast assumes tariffs will be a headwind to Adjusted EPS in the first half of fiscal 2026 due to the timing of supply chain adjustments, pricing increases and surcharge implementation lagging tariff costs and tariff cost neutrality expected by the second half of fiscal 2026.

______________________

1

Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS 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.

2

Adjusted EPS excludes, among other adjustments, amortization of intangible assets. The Company believes this better represents its inherent earnings power and cash generation capability.

3

Tariff impact is being presented in a tax effected manner using a 25% normalized tax rate.

4

The Company has not reconciled the Adjusted EPS guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measure 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 measure. Forward-looking guidance regarding Adjusted EPS is made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein.
