“We enter fiscal 2026 with a strong backlog and continued order growth as our commercial initiatives gain traction. Our conviction in Columbus McKinnon's strategy and business model remains strong as we continue to anticipate tailwinds from industry megatrends like on-shoring, scarcity of labor and global infrastructure investments over time. We have a strong track record of navigating through uncertain environments and managing performance through volatility. Accordingly, we are actively working to mitigate the impact of tariff policies with supply chain adjustments, surcharges and price. I want to thank our Columbus McKinnon team for their relentless efforts to continuously improve customer service and advance our strategic initiatives as we execute on fiscal 2026 and work toward the closing of the Kito Crosby acquisition.”

The strengthening of the U.S. dollar negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.11 versus the prior year as well. As the quarter evolved, we executed actions to reduce costs and align capacity with demand, which will remain a focus the fourth quarter.”

Following the $2.81 billion acquisition of Kito Crosby, completed February 3, 2026, Columbus McKinnon substantially expanded its scale and global reach, with the combined business targeting annual net sales above $2 billion and approximately 45% of revenue derived from customers outside the United States. The enlarged portfolio spans the Kito, Crosby, CM, Yale, Duff-Norton, and montratec brand families, competing across a broad range of lifting capacity classes and precision conveyance segments.
