Columbus Mckinnon Corporate Events
On March 17, 2026, Columbus McKinnon presented at the J.P. Morgan Industrials Conference, outlining its investment thesis and positioning as a “new” CMCO focused on intelligent motion solutions for material handling. Management highlighted a $35 billion total addressable market, a diversified product and geographic mix, and its Columbus McKinnon Business System and 80/20 process as engines for growth and margin expansion.
The company emphasized catalysts for performance improvement including revenue growth from conveyance and automation, cost synergies from the Kito Crosby acquisition, and a strategy to generate strong free cash flow for debt reduction and capital allocation. It also underscored its aim to expand recurring consumables revenue, grow share through geographic reach and cross-selling, and improve leverage metrics over time, reinforcing its ambition for multiple expansion and stronger industry leadership.

On March 4, 2026, Columbus McKinnon completed the previously announced divestiture of its U.S. power chain hoist and chain manufacturing operations, excluding Little Mule-branded products, and sold 100% of the equity interests of Royal NY Company Holdings to Star Hoist Intermediate for $210 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The company may receive an additional $25 million earnout if net sales from the divested business exceed agreed thresholds in fiscal 2027 and 2028, a move that follows its February 3, 2026 closing of the $2.7 billion Kito Crosby acquisition and associated refinancing, and reflects a broader strategic repositioning of its portfolio and capital structure.
Columbus McKinnon’s unaudited pro forma financial information combines its results with those of Kito Crosby and removes the divested business, illustrating how the acquisition and divestiture would have affected recent periods without yet capturing future integration costs or synergies. The transactions were financed via a new senior secured credit agreement, including a $1.65 billion term loan B and a $500 million revolving facility, together with notes and preferred share proceeds, underscoring the company’s use of leveraged financing and asset sales to support large-scale expansion while reshaping its operating footprint.

On February 9, 2026, Columbus McKinnon reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 results for the period ended December 31, 2025, posting net sales of $258.7 million, up 10.5% year over year, driven by higher volume, pricing and favorable currency, with particular strength in U.S. lifting, linear motion and automation. Orders rose 11% to $247.4 million, backlog climbed 15% to $341.6 million, and GAAP net income increased 51% to $6.0 million, even as margins compressed, while management highlighted strong cash generation, a healthy opportunity funnel, macro caution in EMEA, and the strategic completion of the Kito Crosby acquisition to enhance customer offerings, realize synergies and accelerate debt reduction.

On February 3, 2026, Columbus McKinnon closed its $2.7 billion cash acquisition of Kito Crosby, creating what the company describes as a global leader in lifting solutions with expanded scale, product breadth and geographic reach across diverse end markets. The deal was financed through a new $2.15 billion credit package comprising a $1.65 billion Term Loan B and a $500 million revolving facility, a $900 million offering of 7.125% senior secured notes due 2033, and an $800 million investment in Series A cumulative convertible participating preferred shares from Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R), alongside amendments to Columbus McKinnon’s charter to authorize more capital, establish the new preferred share terms and grant CD&R pre‑emptive rights. Concurrently, the company terminated its prior credit agreement and an earlier debt commitment letter, and issued 800,000 preferred shares to CD&R, which also gained three board seats as the board expanded from nine to 12 directors, cementing a significant new strategic shareholder. Columbus McKinnon also unveiled an integrated executive leadership team drawn from both companies to drive growth, margin expansion and deleveraging, targeting $70 million in net annual run-rate cost synergies, with the combined business expected to improve adjusted EBITDA margins and enhance shareholder value while operating under new secured, covenant-governed capital structures that are backed by substantially all of the company’s and certain subsidiaries’ assets.

On February 2, 2026, Columbus McKinnon announced that the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division had cleared its pending acquisition of Kito Crosby Limited, following an extended review that culminated in a consent decree requiring Columbus McKinnon to divest its U.S. power chain hoist and chain operations. With all regulatory approvals now secured and closing expected in February 2026, the deal is set to significantly scale the combined business and strengthen Columbus McKinnon’s global market position in lifting and securement, with management highlighting operational integration, cost synergies, and improved profitability as key benefits for customers and shareholders.

On February 10, 2025, Columbus McKinnon entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire all outstanding equity of Kito Crosby Limited for approximately $2.7 billion in cash on a cash-free, debt-free basis, with closing expected in the first quarter of calendar 2026, and Kito Crosby to become a wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with this pending acquisition and a planned divestiture of its U.S. power chain hoist and chain manufacturing operations in Damascus, Virginia, and Lexington, Tennessee, the company has provided investors with unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, reflecting the impact of these transactions as if completed earlier, along with details of a new financing package that includes a $1.65 billion term loan B facility, a $500 million revolving credit facility and a previously announced $900 million senior secured notes offering; these steps illustrate a significant balance sheet expansion and portfolio repositioning that will materially change Columbus McKinnon’s capital structure, scale, and business mix, though the pro forma figures remain preliminary and may change as the transactions close and final accounting is completed.

On January 27, 2026, Columbus McKinnon Corporation announced that its Board of Directors had declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per common share, reinforcing its ongoing capital-return strategy to shareholders. The dividend is scheduled to be paid on or about February 23, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2026, with approximately 28.7 million common shares outstanding, highlighting the company’s continued commitment to providing consistent shareholder returns alongside its core material-handling operations.

On January 22, 2026, Columbus McKinnon announced it had priced a private offering of $900 million in 7.125% senior secured notes due 2033, downsized from a previously planned $1.225 billion, with closing expected on January 30, 2026, subject to customary conditions. The company plans to use the note proceeds, alongside preferred equity financing and a new credit agreement, to fund its pending acquisition of Kito Crosby Limited, repay Kito Crosby’s existing debt, refinance portions of its own indebtedness, and cover related fees and expenses, a move that reshapes its capital structure and underscores the strategic importance of the Kito Crosby transaction to its growth in the material-handling sector; the notes are initially unsecured but will become first-lien, senior secured obligations guaranteed by key U.S. subsidiaries following completion of the acquisition, and include a special mandatory redemption feature if the deal does not close by August 10, 2026 or is formally abandoned.

On January 20, 2026, Columbus McKinnon announced plans to issue $1.225 billion of senior secured notes due 2033 to help finance its acquisition of Kito Crosby, refinance its existing senior secured credit facilities and repay Kito Crosby’s existing debt, alongside proceeds from a new preferred share issuance and a new senior secured credit agreement. The notes will initially be unsecured and unguaranteed but are expected to become first‑lien, senior‑secured obligations guaranteed by certain U.S. subsidiaries after the acquisition closes, with a special mandatory redemption feature if the deal does not close by the contractual end date; in parallel, the company is updating and expanding its use of non‑GAAP metrics such as Adjusted EBITDA and various leverage ratios—now including stock‑based compensation addbacks—to frame its leverage profile and performance for investors as it undertakes this highly leveraged, acquisition‑driven capital structure shift.

On January 13, 2026, Columbus McKinnon signed an equity purchase agreement to sell 100% of the equity interests of Royal NY Company Holdings and its U.S. power chain hoist and chain manufacturing operations, excluding Little Mule products, to an affiliate of Pacific Avenue Capital Partners for $210 million, with potential additional earn-out payments of up to $25 million tied to net sales performance in fiscal 2027 and 2028. The divested business, based in Damascus, Virginia and Lexington, Tennessee, will be transferred under related contribution agreements, with closing expected by the end of the first quarter of calendar 2026, subject to customary regulatory and contractual closing conditions and a long-stop date of April 30, 2026. Columbus McKinnon expects roughly $160 million of net cash proceeds, after an estimated $50 million of taxes and transaction-related costs, to be used primarily to pay down debt incurred for its previously announced acquisition of Kito Crosby, thereby supporting its deleveraging priorities and easing antitrust review by reducing product overlap. Management positions the divestiture and acquisition together as a portfolio simplification and scale-building strategy, targeting approximately $70 million in annual cost synergies, mid‑20% adjusted EBITDA margins on a pro forma basis, and stronger, more diversified global reach, particularly in APAC, EMEA and Latin America, even as they caution that transaction timing could render fiscal 2026 GAAP earnings per share temporarily dilutive and near-term financial impacts uncertain.

On January 14, 2026, Columbus McKinnon announced select estimated preliminary unaudited results for its third quarter ended December 31, 2025, reporting expected net sales of $250 million to $260 million for the quarter and $747 million to $757 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2026. The company anticipates Adjusted EBITDA of $38 million to $40 million for the quarter and $115 million to $117 million for the nine-month period, with Adjusted EPS projected between $0.58 and $0.63 for the quarter and $1.70 to $1.75 year-to-date. Management also estimates third-quarter orders of $245 million to $250 million and a quarter-end backlog of $335 million to $345 million, representing a 3% decline from the prior quarter but a 5% increase versus the end of fiscal 2025, signaling a still-solid demand pipeline. These figures, which exclude the impact of the pending acquisition of Kito Crosby Limited and the planned divestiture of U.S. power chain hoist and chain manufacturing operations, remain subject to closing adjustments and audit review; the company has also revised its Adjusted EBITDA definition to add back stock-based compensation, aligning with common industry practice and potentially improving comparability of its performance metrics for investors.
