Third Quarter Summary (compared with prior-year period, unless otherwise noted)
- Revenue was $152.5 million; excluding unfavorable FX, revenue was $153.9 million
- Gross profit of $44.8 million was negatively impacted by $1.3 million of atypical items; excluding those items, gross margin was 30.2%
- STAHL CraneSystems acquisition scheduled to close on January 31, 2017; based on improved debt financing terms, acquisition is expected to be accretive to EPS by $0.34 in Fiscal 18 (before purchase accounting and charges)
- Common equity offering to close with acquisition: net proceeds of $47.2 million reduce borrowing requirements for acquisition resulting in lower cost of debt at LIBOR plus 3.0%; also secured a
$100 million revolver facility - Income from operations of $5.3 million included $3.1 million of expenses related to STAHL acquisition; adjusted income from operations was $8.5 million, or 5.5% of sales; atypical items had a 1.2% negative impact to margin
- Repaid $5.7 million of debt in the quarter; net debt to net total capitalization down 1.0 percentage point from trailing quarter to 38.4%
Timothy T. Tevens, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The quarter was weaker than we had anticipated, especially in the U.S. and EMEA, but our optimism for the longer term is not deterred. Our belief is that new product development combined with the Magnetek and STAHL acquisitions expand our competitive advantages and provides a stronger global market position as industrial economies strengthen.”
He continued, “We will be launching our ‘drive in every hoist’ strategic initiative with our Lodestar and Global King product lines in early Fiscal 2018. In addition, STAHL will measurably augment our reach into Europe with powered wire rope and electric chain hoists, as well as broaden our explosion-proof line of products globally. We have positioned the Company for future growth and profitably and are excited to leverage the breadth of our brands and product offerings to build a bigger business.”

Operating Results
| ($ in millions) | Q3 FY 17 | Q3 FY 16 | Change | % Change | ||||||||||
| Gross profit | $ | 44.8 | $ | 48.3 | $ | (3.5 | ) | (7.3 | )% | |||||
| Gross margin | 29.4 | % | 30.3 | % | (90) bps | |||||||||
| Income from operations | $ | 5.3 | $ | 11.0 | $ | (5.6 | ) | (51.5 | )% | |||||

| Diluted EPS | $ | 0.02 | $ | 0.36 | $ | (0.34 | ) | (94.4 | )% | |||||
Gross profit was primarily down on lower sales volume, which had a $2.0 million negative impact. Atypical items in the quarter included higher product liability expense of $1.0 million, that includes a $0.5 million legal settlement, and severance expenses related to cost-saving initiatives. For more information on changes in gross profit, please see the attached tables.
Income from operations was $5.3 million. Adjusted income from operations of $8.5 million was down $4.0 million on weaker gross profit. Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP income from operations to adjusted income from operations.
The effective tax rate of 67% was impacted by $3.1 million of non-deductible STAHL acquisition related costs. This also impacts the effective tax rate for the full year of fiscal 2017. It is now expected to be between 31% and 36%.
Net income was $0.5 million. Adjusted net income was $4.5 million, which excludes the STAHL acquisition related costs, a $1.8 million loss on the revaluation of the euro call option to hedge the STAHL purchase price, and a tax rate normalization adjustment. Adjusted net income reflects the impact of lower sales volume, lower gross profit margin due to atypical items as well as lower productivity and other cost changes. Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP net income and earnings per share to adjusted net income and earnings per share.
Equity Financing Improves Acquisition Accretion; Strong Cash Generation Reduces Debt
During the quarter, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell 2,273,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement, which is expected to result in gross proceeds of $50.0 million and net proceeds of $47.2 million (after deducting transaction fees and expenses). The offering and related debt financing are expected to close in conjunction with the closing of the STAHL acquisition, which is planned for January 31, 2017.
Gregory P. Rustowicz, Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “The sale of common equity demonstrably improved the overall financing of the STAHL acquisition by reducing required borrowings and measurably lowering the interest rate on the debt. The debt financing is now expected to be an all first lien, $445 million term loan at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.0%. In addition, we have finalized a $100 million revolver which will provide additional liquidity for the Company. As a result, the STAHL acquisition is now expected to be $0.34 accretive to earnings in fiscal 2018 and $0.51 accretive to earnings in fiscal 2019 (before purchase accounting and charges). Our plan is to pay down $45 million to $50 million of debt in Fiscal 2018 and ramp the rate of debt reduction to $50 million to $55 million in Fiscal 2019 and beyond.”
Cash generated from operating activities in the third quarter was $22.9 million. Gross debt was $234.1 million at December 31, 2016 after $5.7 million of repayments during the quarter. The Company has repaid a total of $33.3 million of debt during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2016. Net debt to net total capitalization, which was 38.4% as of December 31, 2016, is down 4.6 percentage points since the beginning of the fiscal year.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 were $11.3 million and are expected to be $16 million for fiscal 2017, unchanged from previous guidance.

Adjusted income from operations is defined as income from operations as reported, adjusted for certain items and to apply a normalized tax rate. Adjusted income from operations 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 to the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted income from operations, 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.

Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are defined as net income and diluted EPS as reported, adjusted for certain items and to apply a normalized tax rate. Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP, and may not be comparable to the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted net income and diluted EPS, 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 net income and diluted EPS to the historical periods' net income and diluted EPS.
