All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Columbus McKinnon to differ materially from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding (1) our strategy, outlook and growth prospects, including fiscal year 2026 net sales growth, Adjusted EPS guidance, and associated assumptions; (2) our operational and financial targets and capital allocation policy; (3) general economic trends, global policy, including tariff policy, trends in our industry and markets; (4) the amount of debt to be paid down by the Company during fiscal year 2026; (6) the competitive environment in which we operate, are forward looking statements; (7) the risk that the cost synergies and any revenue synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized, (8) disruption to the parties' businesses as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction, (9) the risk that the integration of Kito Crosby's business and operations into Columbus McKinnon will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected, or that Columbus McKinnon is otherwise unable to successfully integrate Kito Crosby's businesses into its own, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (10) the ability by each of Columbus McKinnon and Kito Crosby to obtain required governmental approvals of the transaction on the timeline expected, or at all, and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect Columbus McKinnon after the closing of the transaction or adversely affect the expected benefits of the transaction; (11) the failure of the closing conditions in the purchase agreement to be satisfied, or any unexpected delay in closing the transaction or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the purchase agreement, and (12) general competitive, economic, political and market conditions and other factors that may affect future results of Columbus McKinnon and Kito Crosby. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risk factors that are described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available on its website at www.sec.gov. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Columbus McKinnon undertakes no duty to update publicly any such forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law, regulation or other competent legal authority. Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation will discuss some non-GAAP (“adjusted”) financial measures which we believe are useful in evaluating Columbus McKinnon and Kito Crosby’s performance. You should not consider the presentation of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are noted and reconciliations of comparable historical GAAP measures with historical non-GAAP financial measures can be found in tables either included in the Supplemental Information portion of this presentation or our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Measures 16 The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company has provided this non-GAAP financial information, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in this presentation that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation. The non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.  Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin  Adjusted RSG&A and Adjusted RSG&A as a Percentage of Sales  Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin  Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS  Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin  Free Cash Flow  Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio Forward-Looking: The Company has not reconciled the Adjusted EPS guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measure 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 for fiscal 2026 is made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein. Forward looking guidance regarding Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the proforma combination of Columbus McKinnon and the Kito Crosby acquisition is made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein.


 
Non-GAAP Measures: Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin 17 Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as gross profit as reported, adjusted for certain items. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net sales. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin, are 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 and gross profit margin to the historical periods' gross profit and gross margin, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s gross profit and gross profit margin to that of other companies.

Adjusted RSG&A as a Percent of Sales is defined as Adjusted RSG&A divided by net sales. Adjusted RSG&A and Adjusted RSG&A as a Percent of Sales are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with Adjusted RSG&A and Adjusted RSG&A as a Percent of Sales as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted RSG&A and Adjusted RSG&A as a Percent of Sales, are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter and year’s RSG&A and RSG&A as a Percent of Sales to the historical periods' RSG&A and RSG&A as a Percent of Sales, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s RSG&A and RSG&A as a Percent of Sales to that of other companies.

Adjusted Operating Margin is defined as Adjusted Operating Income divided by net sales. Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin, are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter and year’s income from operations and operating margin to the historical periods' income from operations and operating margin, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s income from operations and operating margin to that of other companies.


 
Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) as reported, adjusted for certain items, including amortization of intangibles, and also adjusted for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding is defined as average diluted shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive share-based awards. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income per Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted EPS are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding and Adjusted EPS, are important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of current periods' net income (loss), average diluted shares outstanding and GAAP EPS to the historical periods' net income (loss), average diluted shares outstanding and GAAP EPS, as well as facilitates a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s net income (loss) and GAAP EPS to that of other companies.
