BUFFALO, NY, May 30, 2018 - 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 2018 fourth quarter and full year, which ended March 31, 2018.

*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.
Adjusted gross profit was $74.0 million, or 34.6% of sales. Adjustments included removing the $0.6 million benefit associated with insurance settlements. For more information on changes in gross profit, please see the attached tables.
Adjusted income from operations was $20.6 million, which was up $3.7 million from the prior year. Adjustments include $3.9 million in STAHL integration costs, $0.4 million in legal costs related to litigation against previous insurance carriers, and debt repricing fees of $0.6 million, partially offset by cash received from a partial insurance settlement of $0.6 million. Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP income from operations to adjusted income from operations.
The effective tax rate for the quarter and full year were 23.5% and 55.6%, respectively.
Net income for the fourth quarter and full year were $8.5 million and $22.1 million, respectively. On an adjusted basis, net income for the fourth quarter and full year were $12.0 million and $46.8 million, which excludes STAHL integration costs, costs for a legal action against prior product liability insurance carriers, debt repricing fees, Magnetek litigation, and an insurance settlement received and includes a normalized tax rate. Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP net income and earnings per share to adjusted net income and earnings per share.

Generating Cash and Reducing Debt
Cash generated from operating activities in the fourth quarter was $18.4 million. Working capital as a percentage of sales was down to 17.9% compared with 18.6% as of March 31, 2017. Capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 were $14.5 million. Please see the attached additional data table for further details.
Total debt was $363.3 million at March 31, 2018 compared with $421.3 million at March 31, 2017. Net debt to net total capitalization at March 31, 2018 was 42.4%, compared with 50.2% at March 31, 2017.
Fiscal Year 2019 Outlook    
Backlog grew 16% to $177.4 million as of March 31, 2018 compared with $152.3 million at December 31, 2017 and was up 15% over backlog of $154.5 million at the end of fiscal 2017. Given the level of backlog and current market conditions, the Company expects revenue to grow 7% to 9% including the benefit of FX in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Research, selling and general and administrative (RSG&A) expenses are expected to be approximately $48 million in the first quarter, excluding integration and realignment costs, with an additional $2 million in annualized RSG&A savings to be realized in the remainder of the year. U.S. GAAP pension accounting changes effective in fiscal 2019 will result in approximately $2 million of annual pension income being reported in other income and expense which will negatively impact income from operations on a comparative basis.
Mr. Morelli concluded, “The strong results for fiscal 2018 represent our team’s capability and the relevance of our Blueprint 2021 strategy. We executed well as our performance culture is taking hold. Our global leadership team and associates are pulling together to achieve our goals and I thank them for their efforts. As we further advance Phase II of our strategy supported by markets favorable for growth, I expect that we will build on our positive momentum. With the strength that we see in our markets, we anticipate solid performance in fiscal 2019 and earnings expansion that outpaces organic revenue growth.”

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 measure 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 gross profit to the historical period’s gross profit, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s net income and diluted EPS to that of other companies.

Adjusted income from operations is defined as income from operations as reported, adjusted for certain items and to apply a normalized tax rate.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income plus depreciation and amortization. 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 and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s and current year's income from operations to the historical periods' income from operations, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s net income and diluted EPS to that of other companies.
