15© 2018 Columbus McKinnon Corporation Adjusted Gross Profit Reconciliation Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit as reported, adjusted for unusual 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 to 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. Quarter Q3 FY17 Q4 FY17 Q1 FY18 Q2 FY18 Q3 FY18 Gross Profit $44,821 $50,335 $69,308 $71,619 $69,045 Add back: Acquisition inventory step-up expense — 8,852 — — — STAHL integration costs — — 169 52 50 Insurance Settlement — — — (1,741) — Non-GAAP adjusted gross margin $44,821 $59,187 $69,477 $69,930 $69,095 Sales 152,497 183,688 203,726 212,828 208,725 Adjusted gross margin 29.4% 32.2% 34.1% 32.9% 33.1% ($ in thousands)
16© 2018 Columbus McKinnon Corporation Adjusted Income from Operations Reconciliation Adjusted income from operations is defined as income from operations as reported, adjusted for certain items. 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 Quarter Q3 FY17 Q4 FY17 Q1 FY18 Q2 FY18 Q3 FY18 Income (loss) from operations $5,317 $(3,164) $20,015 $19,587 $14,173 Add back: Acquisition inventory step-up expense and real estate transfer taxes — 8,852 — — — Acquisition deal, integration, and severance costs 3,140 5,675 1,171 669 3,006 CEO retirement pay and search costs — 3,085 — — — Insurance recovery legal costs — 1,359 229 1,323 1,040 Impairment of intangible asset — 1,125 — — — Magnetek litigation — — — 400 — Insurance settlement — — — (1,741) — Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations $8,457 $16,932 $21,415 $20,238 $18,219 Sales 152,497 183,688 203,726 212,828 208,725 Adjusted operating margin 5.5% 9.2% 10.5% 9.5% 8.7% ($ in thousands)
17© 2018 Columbus McKinnon Corporation Adjusted Diluted EPS Reconciliation 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 measure 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. (1) Applies normalized tax rate of 22% to GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP adjustments above, which are each pre-tax.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure of operating performance and uses it to assess performance and inform operating decisions. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP financial measure. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures of performance, including net cash provided by operations, operating income and net income. The Company’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may vary substantially from the methods used by other companies and investors are cautioned not to rely unduly on it.
