AMHERST, N.Y., January 28, 2011 – Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2011 third quarter that ended on December 31, 2010.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were $128.7 million, an increase of $9.7 million, or 8.2%, from the same period in the prior year, which included $0.5 million in sales for the American Lifts business that was divested in October 2009 as well as an unfavorable currency impact of $3.0 million and one less shipping day.  Net of the divestiture and currency changes, revenue grew 11.1%.  Sales improved across most product categories led by the Americas and European markets.

U.S. industrial capacity utilization continued its positive trend through 2010 and increased to 73.6% in December.  Euro zone capacity utilization also trended higher last year, reaching 77.6% in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the trough of 69.6% in the third quarter of 2009.  The Company uses both U.S. and Euro zone capacity utilization as leading market indicators and its bookings trends tend to lag general capacity utilization trends by one to two quarters.

Timothy T. Tevens, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “European sales continue to outpace the general improvement in the economy.  We believe we are continuing to capture greater market share as the breadth of our product offering, strength of our brands and the reach of our sales presence provide us competitive advantages.  Likewise, in Asia-Pacific and Latin America we are furthering our presence in those expanding economies.”

The fluctuation in sales compared with last year’s quarter is summarized as follows, in millions:

   
Sales $ Change
   
Sales % Change
 
Increased volume
  $ 13.8       11.6 %
Pricing
    1.4       1.2 %
Shipping days
    (2.0 )     (1.7 %)
American Lifts divestiture
    (0.5 )     (0.4 %)
Foreign currency translation
    (3.0 )     (2.5 %)
Total
  $ 9.7       8.2 %

Sales outside of the U.S. expanded 16.5% to $62.3 million, or 48% of total net sales, compared with $53.5 million, or 45% of total sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  Mr. Tevens added, “We are seeing traction with our sales and marketing efforts in Asia with 63% sales growth in the quarter.  We have expanded our distribution penetration in China and now have six sales offices with 24 sales personnel.  While currently just 2.7% of total sales, the Asia-Pacific region is essential to Columbus McKinnon’s long term growth strategy.”

The Company reported a fiscal 2011 third quarter net loss of $39.6 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the same period last year.  The third quarter of fiscal 2011 included a non-cash tax provision of $39.7 million, or $2.08 per share, to record a full valuation allowance against Columbus McKinnon’s deferred tax assets. Restructuring-related costs impacted both periods.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income decreased to $0.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with $1.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the same period last year.  Management believes that segregating the restructuring costs and applying an effective tax rate that would be more relevant to the ongoing operations without these costs is informative in understanding the Company’s ongoing operations.  Accordingly, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010 excludes restructuring-related costs net of a 38% U.S. tax rate, the deferred tax asset valuation charge, as well as an adjustment to a normalized consolidated global effective tax rate for the remaining operations.  Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and earnings per share is summarized in the following table:

Columbus McKinnon Reports 8% Growth in Revenue in the Fiscal 2011 Third Quarter
January 28, 2011
Page 3 of 12

In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company realized approximately $2 million in pre-tax cost savings associated with the reorganization and consolidation of its hoist and rigging operations that began in fiscal 2010.  Annual savings from the restructuring projects are estimated to be $13 million to $15 million.  Savings in the quarter were offset by $1.3 million in restructuring-related pre-tax costs, primarily at the Company’s forging facility, of which $1.1 million was in cost of goods sold.  The Company expects restructuring-related costs in the next several quarters to be minimal.  The prior year’s third quarter included pre-tax restructuring costs of $6.7 million, of which $3.1 million was included in cost of goods sold.

Gross profit edges up; selling and G&A expenses decline as a percentage of sales

Gross profit was $29.4 million, or 22.8% of sales, for the fiscal 2011 third quarter, compared with $26.8 million, or 22.5% of sales, in the fiscal 2010 third quarter.  Adjusting for the non-GAAP restructuring costs in cost of goods sold, non-GAAP gross margin was 23.7% and 25.1% in the fiscal 2011 and 2010 third quarters, respectively, with the integration and full benefits of the facility consolidation projects still ramping up.  Additionally, the fiscal 2011 third quarter gross profit was unfavorably impacted by a $1.0 million actuarial adjustment to its product liability reserves, impacting gross margin by 80 basis points.

Mr. Tevens, noted, “The consolidation in our North American hoist operations is essentially complete and we are beginning to realize the benefits of our restructuring.  However, the integration of our forging operations continues to progress at a slower than expected pace.  We have made numerous changes to this business and have invested in equipment and people to address the situation and are also temporarily outsourcing certain operations to alleviate some of the constraint.  The challenges and costs of the inefficiencies at this operation adversely impacted gross margin by approximately 180 basis points during the quarter.  The changes we are making will correct these problems and bring us to the planned level of profitability post restructuring.”

As a percent of revenue, selling expenses were 12.1% in the fiscal 2011 third quarter compared with 13.3% in the same period last year.  Selling expenses were $15.5 million, 1.7% below selling expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, with foreign currency translation having a $0.5 million favorable impact on selling expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

As a percent of revenue, general and administrative (G&A) expenses were 8.0% for this year’s third quarter, the same as in the prior year’s third quarter.  G&A expenses were $10.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, up 8.5% from the previous fiscal year’s third quarter due to investments in the Company’s Asian and European management and sales personnel and increasing sales office locations, offset by favorable foreign currency translation of $0.3 million.  Selling and G&A expenses combined as a percent of revenue were 20.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with 21.2% in last year’s third fiscal quarter.

Restructuring charges, primarily for severance costs associated with the previously-described consolidation of the Company’s North American hoist and rigging manufacturing operations, were $0.2 million in the fiscal 2011 third quarter, as compared with $3.6 million in the fiscal 2010 third quarter.

Excluding restructuring-related costs, non-GAAP operating income for the fiscal 2011 third quarter was $4.3 million, or 3.3% of sales, compared with $4.3 million, or 3.6% of sales, in the same period of the prior year.  Operating income on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $3.0 million, or 2.3% of sales, compared with an operating loss of $2.5 million, or 2.1% of sales, in last year’s third quarter.

Interest and debt expense was $3.3 million in this year’s third quarter, approximately the same as last year’s third quarter.  Last year’s third quarter included $2.4 million of miscellaneous income, primarily due to asset sale gains, which did not recur in fiscal 2011.

As previously announced, income tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 reflects a non-cash charge of $39.7 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, relating to the Company’s determination that a full valuation allowance against certain of its deferred tax assets is necessary.  The recording of this non-cash charge does not impact the Company’s ability to realize the economic benefit of its deferred tax assets and net operating loss carry forwards on future tax returns. In future periods, we expect the allowance to be reduced or reversed subject to sufficient objectively verifiable evidence indicating that it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized.

Working capital as a percentage of sales was 19.0% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with 18.5% at the end of last fiscal year’s third quarter.  Increased working capital, particularly inventory, reflects increased business activity.

Solid balance sheet allows flexibility to replace higher-cost notes

Debt, net of cash, at December 31, 2010 was $85.5 million and cash on hand was $46.1 million.  Excluding the impact of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance charge, debt, net of cash would have represented 30.8% of total net book capitalization, approximating the Company’s long-term goal of 30% with flexibility to expand to 50% to accommodate acquisitions.  Debt, net of cash, at the end of last year’s third quarter was $82.5 million, or 30.8% of total capitalization.

As previously announced, on January 10, 2011, Columbus McKinnon commenced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for the entire $124.9 million outstanding principal amount of its 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2013.  The Company funded the tender offer, consent payments and related costs with proceeds from the private placement of a $150 million senior subordinated notes offering which it completed on January 25, 2011.  The Company had approximately $71 million available under its senior credit facility at December 31, 2010, with nothing drawn and $14 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Mr. Tevens commented, “Given the strength of the corporate bond market and the existence of higher cost notes on our balance sheet, the timing was right for us to refinance to lower cost debt.  This refinancing extends the maturity of our debt obligation and adds liquidity to our balance sheet, giving us more flexibility to continue to execute our strategic growth plan.”

Cash used by operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $9.2 million compared with cash used by operations of $6.8 million in the year-ago quarter.  The increase in cash used was primarily due to working capital needed to fund the growing sales.  Cash used by operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was $17.0 million compared with $17.1 million in cash generated from operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, primarily due to working capital.

Capital expenditures in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 were $8.9 million, compared with $5.9 million in the fiscal 2010 nine-month period.  The fiscal 2011 increase included approximately $2.8 million as the initial investment in the Company’s global enterprise resource planning system.  The Company anticipates capital spending for fiscal 2011 will be approximately $13 million to $15 million, including continuation of its global enterprise resource planning system initiative.

Fiscal 2011 nine-month review

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 were $380.1 million, 7.6%, or $26.9 million, above sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.  Growth in the Company’s Americas and European hoist businesses were the primary drivers of the sales increase.  Sales outside of the U.S. in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 were $173.4 million, or 46% of total sales, up 15% over the same period last year.

Gross profit margin was 23.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared with 23.9% for the fiscal 2010 nine-month period.  Restructuring-related expenses included in cost of goods sold in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 were $4.0 million, or 105 basis points, compared with $3.6 million or 105 basis points in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.  Additionally, the fiscal 2011 and 2010 periods were unfavorably impacted by $3.9 million, or 105 basis points, and $2.9 million, or 80 basis points, respectively, relating to product liability reserves for unusually large claims and third quarter actuarial adjustments.  Excluding those items, the gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and 2010 would have been 25.4% and 25.8% respectively.

Selling expenses decreased $1.7 million, or 3.5%, compared with last year due primarily to the steps taken in fiscal 2010 to reorganize the North American sales organization.  G&A expenses increased $3.2 million, or 12.0%, primarily due to additions to the Company’s Asian and European personnel and sales offices.  Favorable foreign currency translation was approximately $1.1 million and $0.8 million of the selling and G&A expense fluctuations, respectively.  As a percent of sales, selling and G&A expenses were 20.0% during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared with 21.1% during the fiscal 2010 nine-month period.

Non-GAAP operating profit, which excludes restructuring-related costs and several unusually large product liability claims, was $18.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, or 4.8% of sales, compared with $14.9 million, or 4.2% of sales, in the fiscal 2010 nine-month period.  Restructuring-related costs were $4.9 million and $15.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.  GAAP income from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was $9.3 million, or 2.4% of sales, compared with an operating loss of $3.8 million, or 1.1% of sales, in the fiscal 2010 nine-month period.

Interest and debt expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was $9.9 million, slightly below $10.0 million in the fiscal 2010 nine-month period.  Interest and other income was $1.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared with $3.6 million in fiscal 2010.

Net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was $38.5 million, or $2.02 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $7.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, during the first nine months of fiscal 2010.  Excluding restructuring-related costs, the unusually large product liability claims in both periods and  normalizing the effective tax rates, as well as excluding the large non-cash deferred tax asset valuation allowance charge, the non-GAAP net income per share in the fiscal 2011 nine-month period was $0.31 compared with $0.21 for the fiscal 2010 nine-month period, summarized in the following table:

Outlook

Backlog was $76.5 million at the end of the fiscal 2011 third quarter compared with backlog of $80.5 million at the end of the fiscal 2011 second quarter and $71.6 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  The reduction in backlog during the quarter resulted from achieved improvements in the shipping rate of our restructured facilities.  Although the time to convert the majority of backlog to sales typically averages from one day to a few weeks, since the acquisition of Pfaff-silberblau in October 2008 backlog can include project-type orders from customers that have defined deliveries that may extend out twelve to 24 months.  As of December 31, 2010, approximately $20 million of backlog pertains to projects scheduled for shipment beyond March 31, 2011.

Mr. Tevens concluded, “We have an intense focus to improve our restructured forging business and recognize the planned benefits we have previously communicated and have, in fact, seen a turnaround in this business in January.  We also continue to make excellent strides in our efforts to grow our international business and have developed a much stronger foothold in Europe since our acquisition of Pfaff in October of 2008.  We believe we can make similar, if not even faster, progress in Asia as it continues to build its infrastructure and meet the needs of its expanding economies.”
