NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: Karen L. Howard Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer Columbus McKinnon Corporation Phone: 716-689-5550 KAREN.HOWARD@CMWORKS.COM COLUMBUS MCKINNON REPORTS FISCAL 2007 SECOND QUARTER NET INCOME PER SHARE OF $0.44, UP 110% ON 7% REVENUE GROWTH o NET INCOME INCREASES $5.1 MILLION; UP 57% OVER YEAR-AGO PRO FORMA NET INCOME o OPERATING INCOME INCREASES 21% TO $16.1 MILLION; 11.2% OPERATING MARGIN; 29.8% OPERATING INCOME LEVERAGE ON INCREMENTAL SALES o DEBT, NET OF CASH REDUCED $11.6 MILLION IN QUARTER TO 40% OF TOTAL CAPITALIZATION AMHERST, N.Y., October 24, 2006 - Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2007 second quarter that ended on October 1, 2006. For the quarter, net sales were $144.2 million, up 7.1% from last year's second quarter. Gross margin improved 100 basis points to 27.1% compared with 26.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and operating income improved to $16.1 million for the fiscal 2007 second quarter, up $2.8 million, or 21.4%. As a percent of sales, operating income produced an 11.2% margin in the fiscal 2007 quarter compared with 9.8% in the same period last year. Net income for the fiscal 2007 second quarter was $8.3 million, up $5.0 million or 155% over net income of $3.3 million in the same quarter last year. Net income per share for the fiscal 2007 second quarter was $0.44 on 18.9 million average diluted shares with a 110% increase from $0.21 on 15.4 million average diluted shares in the same period last year. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 included the negative impact of $3.3 million associated with refinancing subordinated debt. Excluding those charges from the 2006 second quarter, adjusting for a consistent tax rate, and using the same number of average diluted shares outstanding as the fiscal 2007 second quarter, results in pro forma net income for the fiscal 2006 second quarter of $5.3 million, or $0.28 per share. This comparison results in growth of pro forma net income and net income per share of 57% in the fiscal 2007 second quarter. (See reconciliation between GAAP net income and non-GAAP pro forma net income included in the final table of this news release). Timothy T. Tevens, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Columbus McKinnon continues to achieve meaningful improvement in our operating profitability driven by an ongoing focus on productivity enhancements, favorable operating leverage, strong order volume around the world and a significant reduction in debt. Our outlook remains positive as we have and will continue to introduce varying capacities of our new international-rated wire rope hoist line and other new products." He continued, "Bookings for the second quarter and first half were up 9% over last year, which also had strong bookings growth. As capacity utilization around the world remains strong so have our bookings and corresponding revenues. Accordingly, the present economic climate would indicate an expectation that our business should continue to show favorable growth." SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2007 REVIEW The fiscal 2007 second quarter net sales increase of $9.5 million over last year's second quarter net sales of $134.7 million reflects continued global demand for Columbus McKinnon's material handling products. On a sequential quarter basis, net sales declined by $2.5 million, with the Products segment gain of $0.9 million more than offset by the Solutions segment's $3.4 million reduction; Solutions segment sales are "long cycle" projects and quarter-to-quarter comparisons are not always meaningful. Gross profit increased 11.0% on the 7.1% increase in sales. Operating leverage resulted in $0.30 growth in operating income per incremental sales dollar over the year ago quarter. Higher selling expenses of $1.7 million, or 12.7%, were the result of investments made in accordance with our strategic growth initiatives. General and administrative expense was relatively flat when compared with the prior year's second quarter as higher R&D costs, personnel training and stock options expense were offset by lower variable compensation and other expenses in last year's second fiscal quarter. Interest and debt expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was down $2.4 million, or 37.0%, to $4.2 million from $6.6 million in the fiscal 2006 second quarter. Reduced interest expense was a direct result of the Company's continued focus on debt reduction, especially higher cost debt. At the end of the quarter, funded debt was $176.1 million compared with $209.8 million and $183.4 million at the end of fiscal 2006 and first quarter fiscal 2007, respectively. Debt, net of cash at October 1, 2006, was $151.9 million, or 40.4% net debt to total capitalization compared with 71.8% a year earlier. The funded debt to total capitalization ratio at the end of the fiscal 2007 second quarter was 44.0%, down from 46.1% in the fiscal 2007 first quarter, and well below Columbus McKinnon's short-term goal of a debt to total capitalization ratio below 50% while moving closer to the Company's long-term goal of a 30% debt to total capitalization ratio. The Company continues to make strides in pursuit of this goal and during the month of October to date has purchased $3.0 million of its 10% notes, leaving $25.8 million outstanding. The Company's capitalization goals are designed to maintain a conservative capital structure with the flexibility to support its growth strategies. The Company's availability on its line of credit with its bank group at October 1, 2006 was $64.1 million. Capital expenditures for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $2.4 million compared with $2.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2006. Capital spending is focused on new product development and the purchase of productivity-enhancing equipment along with normal maintenance items. The Company anticipates full year capital spending to range from $8 to $10 million. PRODUCTS SEGMENT - ---------------- Products segment net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 represented 89.5% of consolidated net sales. The segment's net sales increased $8.4 million, or 7.0%, to $129.0 million when compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Quarterly variances between quarters are summarized as follows, in millions: Volume $ 6.1 5.0% Price 1.1 1.0% Foreign currency translation 1.2 1.0% ----- ---- Total $ 8.4 7.0% ===== ==== Gross margin for this segment was 29.4% compared with 27.1% in last year's second quarter. Income from operations, as a percent of sales, was 13.2% for this period, up from 10.5% in the fiscal 2006 second quarter, with operating leverage being 52.0% in the quarter. 2 Backlog was at $54.9 million at the end of the quarter. Backlog at the end of the fiscal 2006 second quarter and fiscal 2007 first quarter was $40.2 million and $58.4 million, respectively. The higher backlog compared with the prior year period was the result of the rapid growth of orders in specific product lines. Compared with backlog at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007, backlog was down $3.5 million, reflecting improvements in lead-time reductions. Further improvements are anticipated over the next several quarters in our engineered hoist and crane businesses. The time to convert Products segment backlog to sales averages from a few days to a few weeks, and backlog for this segment on average normally represents four to five weeks of shipments. The higher backlog at second quarter end represented closer to five and one-half weeks in shipments. SOLUTIONS SEGMENT - ----------------- Net sales for the Solutions segment were $15.2 million in the fiscal 2007 second quarter, up 8.2%, from sales of $14.0 million in the same period last year. Gross margin was 7.4% compared with 17.8% last year. Income from operations as a percent of sales was negative (6.2%) for this period compared with 4.1% in the fiscal 2006 second quarter. This year's second quarter was impacted by weak performance reported by the Company's European powered-roller conveyor business. Performance on a specific project coupled with less-than-desired order activity during the quarter contributed to the results. With quoting activity continuing to be high with consistent success rates, October bookings amounting to $5 million thus far are encouraging. Backlog for the Solutions segment at October 1, 2006 was $4.4 million, down from backlog of $17.4 million at the end of the fiscal 2006 second quarter and $11.4 million at the end of the fiscal 2007 first quarter. The decrease was due to weak order activity during this year's second quarter at the Company's powered-roller conveyor business as previously noted. For this segment, the average cycle time for backlog to convert to sales ranges from one to six months. FIRST HALF FISCAL 2007 REVIEW Net sales for the first half of fiscal 2007 were $290.9 million, up 5.6%, or $15.3 million compared with the first half of fiscal 2006. Gross profit of $81.3 million was 13.4% higher for this fiscal year's first six months resulting in a 190 basis point improvement in gross profit margin to 27.9%. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses combined were $47.7 million in the fiscal 2007 first half compared with $43.5 million in the prior fiscal year. As a percent of sales, SG&A was 16.4% and 15.8% for the fiscal 2007 and 2006 half-year periods, respectively. As previously noted, the increase was primarily due to investments made to support our strategic growth initiatives. Interest expense in the first half of fiscal 2007 was down $4.7 million, or 34.9%, to $8.7 million reflecting the $83 million year-over-year reduction in average debt outstanding. Operating margin for the first half of fiscal 2007 was 11.6% compared with 10.1% for the first half of fiscal 2006, representing 39.1% operating leverage. Net income for the fiscal 2007 first half was $13.9 million, or $0.73 per diluted share compared with $10.6 million, or $0.70 per diluted share in the fiscal 2006 first half. For the 2007 first half, net income grew by 31.2% while diluted earnings per share increased 4.3%; this differential results from higher weighted average shares outstanding. Excluding unusual items in the fiscal 2007 first quarter and the fiscal 2006 second quarter, adjusting for the consequent tax effects, and using the same number of average diluted shares outstanding as the fiscal 2007 first half, results in pro forma net income of $17.7 million, or $0.93 per diluted share for the fiscal 2007 first half, a 63.5% increase from pro forma net income of $10.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share for the fiscal 2006 first half. (See reconciliation between GAAP net income and non-GAAP pro forma net income included in the final table of this news release). Net cash provided by operations was $15.0 million for the fiscal 2007 first half compared with $24.2 million in the fiscal 2006 first half. Temporary higher working capital requirements affected cash generation. 3 SUMMARY Mr. Tevens noted, "Demand continues to be strong with Products segment bookings through the first half of fiscal 2007 up 9% compared with last year. We will continue to improve order-to-delivery cycle time to optimize our yield on this market strength, and we also continue to progress on our profitability improvement strategy within our Solutions segment. Going forward, our growth plans include reducing dependence on the U.S. industrial cycle by expanding and deepening our reach into Europe, Asia and Latin America, including the emerging economies of those regions. To do this effectively and to also capture more share of the U.S. material handling market, we will remain innovative in our product development, become quicker to market with our new products, acquire small bolt-on businesses that provide value-added product line extensions and expand our penetration in higher growth U.S. markets such as construction and energy." He concluded, "We are essentially on track to achieve our previously stated goal of 11% - 12% operating margin on approximately $600 million in sales expected this fiscal year. There continue to be further opportunities for sales growth and margin expansion through new products, expansion in international markets and productivity improvement."
