**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical or current fact, included in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "intend," "believe," "may," "will," "should," "can have," "future," "likely" and other words and terms of similar meaning (including their negative counterparts or other various or comparable terminology). For example, all statements we make relating to: our plans and objectives for future operations, growth results or initiatives, including relating to the benefits of the Kito Crosby Acquisition (as defined herein), strategies, plans for enhancing shareholder value, pending acquisitions, our expected amount of capital expenditures for fiscal 2026, the amount of future dividend payments in fiscal 2026 and beyond or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we currently expect, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• industrial economic and general macroeconomic conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased competition with respect to our business, including with respect to our material handling and precision conveyance products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to maintain positive perceptions of Columbus McKinnon and its brands;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to successfully integrate our acquisitions, including the Kito Crosby Acquisition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• price fluctuations and trade tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other raw materials, parts and goods purchased to manufacture our products and our ability to pass on price increases to our customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to obtain sufficient pricing for our products and service to meet our profitability expectations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the scarcity or unavailability of the raw materials and critical components we use to manufacture our products and the impact of such scarcity or unavailability on our ability to operate our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to successfully manage our backlog;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to maintain relationships with the independent distributors we use to sell our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to continue to attract, develop, engage, and retain qualified employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to understand our customers' specific preferences and requirements, and to develop, manufacture and market products that meet customer demand as we expand into additional international markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to manage our indebtedness, including compliance with debt covenant restrictions in our Term Loan B and our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (each as defined herein) and under all debt instruments entered into in connection with the Kito Crosby Acquisition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to raise capital in the future and manage the negative effects of inflation on our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to manage the risks of conducting operations outside of the United States, including currency fluctuations, trade barriers, labor unrest, geopolitical conflicts, more stringent labor regulation, tariffs, political and economic instability and governmental expropriation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a potential ratings downgrade or other negative action by a ratings organization adversely affecting the trading price of our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential product liability, as our products involve risks of personal injury and property damage;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection laws, including regulatory measures meant to address climate change, which may be burdensome and lower our margins;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property and refrain from infringing on the intellectual property of others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to adequately manage and rely on our subcontractors and suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in general economic conditions and the geographic concentration of our locations, which may affect our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to adequately protect our information technology systems from cyberattacks or other interruptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to retain key members of our management team;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the volatility of our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our goodwill or other intangible assets becoming impaired, which may require us to incur material charges

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our substantial indebtedness and our ability to incur substantially more indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the limitations and restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness on our ability to engage in certain business and financial transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to generate the significant amount of cash needed to service our indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in interest rates; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to successfully consummate the Divestiture (as defined below).

While we believe that the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the effect of known factors, and, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed under the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-Q. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q in the context of these risks and uncertainties.

We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the outcomes or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof and are based on our current expectations. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except to the extent required by applicable law.

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(UNAUDITED)**

**December 31, 2025** 

 **1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Description of Business**

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Columbus McKinnon Corporation ("Columbus McKinnon" or "the Company") at December 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, have been included. Results for the period ended December 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The balance sheet at March 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Columbus McKinnon Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on May 28, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K").

The Company is a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer, and marketer of intelligent motion solutions that efficiently and ergonomically move, lift, position, and secure materials. Key products include hoists, crane components, precision conveyor systems, accumulation tables, rigging tools, light rail workstations, and digital power and motion control systems. The Company is focused on commercial and industrial applications that require the safety and quality provided by its superior design and engineering know-how.

The Company's products are sold globally, principally to third party distributors and crane builders through diverse distribution channels, and to a lesser extent directly to end-users and integrators. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, sales to customers in the United States were approximately 57% of total net sales.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisitions & Disposals** 

*Kito Crosby Acquisition*

On February 10, 2025, the Company announced its entry into a definitive purchase agreement under which the Company agreed to acquire Kito Crosby Limited ("Kito Crosby") in an all-cash transaction valued at $2,700,000,000 subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments and regulatory approval (such transaction being referred to in this Form 10-Q as the "Kito Crosby Acquisition"). Kito Crosby is a global leader in lifting solutions with multiple manufacturing assembly plants and nearly 4,000 employees serving over 50 countries. In 2024, Kito Crosby generated approximately $1,100,000,000 in revenue through its extensive global channel partner network. The Kito Crosby Acquisition advances the Company's strategy to become a scaled, holistic provider of intelligent motion solutions by expanding its portfolio across lifting, rigging, and motion control technologies. The combination will significantly increase the Company's scale and enhance its geographic reach. The Kito Crosby Acquisition was completed on February 3, 2026. The Company incurred $6,342,000 and $24,440,000 of acquisition, integration planning and deal related costs with substantially all classified as part of General and administrative expenses in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively.

On January 30, 2026, the Company completed its offering of $900,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.125% senior secured notes maturing in 2033 (the "Notes"). On February 3, 2026, the Company completed the sale of 800,000 Series A Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Shares, par value $1.00 per share (the "Preferred Shares"), of the Company to CD&R XII Keystone Holdings, L.P. (the "CD&R Investor") at a purchase price of $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $800,000,000 (the "Preferred Equity Financing"). Terms of the Preferred Shares include a 7% coupon, payable in cash or payment-in-kind at Columbus McKinnon's option, and an initial conversion price for conversion of Preferred Shares into the Company's common shares of $37.68, resulting in a CD&R Investor as-converted ownership of approximately 42% of the Company's outstanding equity following completion of the transaction. The CD&R Investor has agreed to a customary lock-up on its Preferred Shares. Further, the Company borrowed under a new $1,650,000,000 aggregate principal amount senior secured term loan facility (the "New Term Loan B Facility") and established a new senior secured revolving credit facility (the "New Revolver") in an aggregate amount of $500,000,000.

The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the New Term Loan B Facility, and a $75,000,000 draw from the New Revolver to finance the Kito Crosby Acquisition, to refinance the

------

Company's existing senior secured credit facilities and to pay any related fees and expenses. The all-cash transaction will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

The Company is in the process of evaluating the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Kito Crosby Acquisition, including the valuation of identifiable intangible assets, goodwill, and tangible assets acquired. Because the Kito Crosby Acquisition closed after the end of the reporting period, no amounts related to the Kito Crosby Acquisition have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025. The Company has not yet completed the measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expects to finalize these measurements within the permitted measurement period of one year.

*Divestiture of U.S. Power Chain Hoist and Chain Manufacturing Operations*

On January 14, 2026, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the "Divestiture Agreement") with Star Hoist Intermediate, LLC ("Star Hoist"), whereby the Company agreed to sell its U.S. power chain hoist and chain manufacturing operations based out of its Damascus, Virginia and Lexington, Tennessee facilities and certain other assets (the "Divestiture Business") to Star Hoist (the "Divestiture"). As of December 31, 2025, the Divestiture Business did not meet the criteria for classification as held for sale under FASB ASC 360-10; therefore, the assets and liabilities continue to be presented as "held and used" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Divestiture Agreement may be terminated by the parties thereto under certain circumstances, including by mutual consent, upon the occurrence of specified termination events or if the Divestiture has not been consummated by April 30, 2026. The disposal group primarily includes major classes of assets and liabilities, including, property, plant and equipment, inventory, and related liabilities. At December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities were approximately $46,402,000 and $10,673,000, respectively, excluding an allocation for Rest of Products reporting unit goodwill, which has not yet been finalized.

Management does not expect the Divestiture to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the gain or loss resulting from the Divestiture. No impairment related to the Divestiture Business was recognized as of December 31, 2025.

*Other Disposals*

On July 31, 2024, the Company announced that it would relocate its North American linear motion operations from Charlotte, North Carolina ("Charlotte Manufacturing Operations") to its manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Mexico. The Company recorded $3,567,000 in fixed asset impairment costs and inventory obsolescence, $3,268,000 in Right of Use lease asset impairment costs and $1,093,000 in employee related severance and retention costs during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In total, $7,855,000 of these costs were included in Cost of products sold, $22,000 were included in Selling expenses, and $51,000 were included in General and administrative expenses.

On February 5, 2025, the Company announced that it would be relocating one of its Precision Conveyance factories in the U.S. into its manufacturing facility in Hartland, Wisconsin. Further, the Company also consolidated its Latin American Precision Conveyance Business into its manufacturing facilities in both Hartland, Wisconsin and Monterrey, Mexico. The Company recorded $2,115,000 in fixed asset impairment costs and inventory obsolescence, $643,000 in Right of Use lease asset impairment costs, $1,069,000 in employee related severance and retention costs, and $544,000 for a reserve on other current assets during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In total, $3,534,000 of these costs were included in Cost of products sold, $213,000 were included in Selling expenses, and $624,000 were included in General and administrative expenses.

During December 2025, the Company sold two of its previously closed manufacturing facilities in Mexico and Germany. The Company received a cash payout in the amount of $2,155,000 for the German facility, and a cash payout in the amount of $1,102,000 for the sale of the Mexican facility. During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the sale of these manufacturing facilities resulted in a gain of $913,000, net of direct sale expenses and is recorded in Cost of products sold.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenue & Receivables** 

*Revenue Recognition:* 

*Performance obligations*

The Company has contracts with customers for standard products and custom engineered products and determines when and how to recognize revenue for each performance obligation based on the nature and type of contract.

------

Revenue from contracts with customers for standard products is recognized when legal title and significant risk and rewards has transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. This is the point in time when control is deemed to transfer to the customer. The Company sells standard products to customers utilizing purchase orders. Payment terms for these types of contracts generally require payment within 30 to 60 days. Each standard product is deemed to be a single performance obligation and the amount of revenue recognized is based on the negotiated price. The transaction price for standard products is based on the price reflected in each purchase order. Sales incentives are offered to customers who purchase standard products and include offers such as volume-based discounts, rebates for priority customers, and discounts for early cash payments. These sales incentives are accounted for as variable consideration included in the transaction price. Accordingly, the Company reduces revenue for these incentives in the period which the sale occurs and is based on the most likely amount method for estimating the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive. These sales incentive estimates are updated each reporting period as additional information becomes available.

The Company also sells custom engineered products and services, which are contracts that are typically completed within one quarter but can extend beyond one year in duration. For custom engineered products, the transaction price is based upon the price stated in the contract. Variable consideration has not been identified as a significant component of transaction price for custom engineered products and services. The Company generally recognizes revenue for custom engineered products upon satisfaction of its performance obligation under the contract which typically coincides with project completion which is when the products and services are controlled by the customer. Control is typically achieved at the later of when legal title and significant risk and rewards have transferred to the customer or the customer has accepted the asset. These contracts often require either up front or installment payments. These types of contracts are generally accounted for as one performance obligation as the products and services are not separately identifiable. The promised services (such as inspection, commissioning, and installation) are essential in order for the delivered product to operate as intended on the customer's site and the services are therefore highly interrelated with product functionality.

For most custom engineered products contracts, the Company determined that there is no alternative use for the custom engineered products and, the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment (which must include a reasonable profit margin) for performance completed to date in order to meet the over time revenue recognition criteria. Therefore, revenue is recognized at a point in time (when the contract is complete). For custom engineered products contracts that contain an enforceable right to payment (including reasonable profit margin) the Company satisfies the performance obligation over time and recognizes revenue based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The cost-to-cost measure of progress is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of work performed and transfer of control to the customers. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recognized proportionally as costs are incurred.

Sales and other taxes collected with revenue are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred prior to shipment are considered activities required to fulfill the Company's promise to transfer goods, and do not qualify as a separate performance obligation. Additionally, the Company offers standard warranties which are typically 12 months in duration for standard products and 24 to 36 months for custom engineered products. These types of warranties are included in the purchase price of the product and are deemed to be assurance-type warranties which are not accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Other performance obligations included in a contract (such as drawings, owner's manuals, and training services) are immaterial in the context of the contract and are not recognized as a separate performance obligation.

For additional information on the Company's revenue recognition policy refer to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

*Contract Liabilities*

The Company records a contract liability when cash is received prior to recording revenue. Some standard contracts require a down payment while most custom engineered contracts require installment payments. Installment payments for the custom engineered contracts typically require a portion due at inception while the remaining payments are due upon completion of certain performance milestones. For both types of contracts, these contract liabilities, referred to as customer advances, are recorded at the time payment is received and are included in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the related performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized, the contract liability is recognized as revenue.

| Other revenue recognized from customer advances | (51004) | (14989) |

| December 31, ending balance | $19894 | $15505 |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Other includes the impact of foreign currency translation

Revenue was recognized prior to the right to invoice the customer which resulted in a contract asset balance in the amount of $20,291,000 and $26,218,000 as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Contract assets are included in Prepaid expenses and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Remaining Performance Obligations*

As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was approximately $37,538,000. We expect to recognize approximately 30% of this amount to sales over the next twelve months, and we expect to recognize 75% of the remaining amount to sales in the next 24 months.

*Disaggregated revenue*

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", the Company is required to disaggregate revenue into categories that depict how economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows.

The following table illustrates the disaggregation of revenue by product grouping for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

*Practical expedients*

Incremental costs to obtain a contract incurred by the Company primarily relate to sales commissions for contracts with a duration of one year or less. Therefore, these costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded in Selling expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an expected length of one year or less are not disclosed. Further, revenue from contracts with customers do not include a significant financing component as payment is generally expected within one year from when the performance obligation is controlled by the customer.

*Accounts Receivable:* 

Under Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2016-13, the Company is required to remeasure expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. In addition to these factors, the Company establishes an allowance for credit losses based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other factors. Accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for credit losses once all collection efforts have been exhausted. Due to the short-term nature of such accounts receivable, the estimated amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances.

The following table illustrates the balance and related activity for the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 that is deducted from accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected (in thousands):

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Measurements**

FASB ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" establishes the standards for reporting financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). Under these standards, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820-10-35-37 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the valuation techniques that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is separated into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, involving some degree of judgment.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

------

The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of asset/liability, whether the asset/liability is established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, assumptions are required to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company uses quoted market prices when valuing its marketable securities and, consequently, the fair value is based on Level 1 inputs. These marketable securities consist of equity and fixed income securities. The Company's terminated pension assets consist of money market funds, domestic corporate bonds, securities issued by the U.S. government, and other similar fixed income investments with quoted market prices. Consequently, the fair value of the terminated pension assets is based on Level 1 inputs. Refer to Note 10 for additional information regarding the Company's terminated pension plan. The Company primarily uses readily observable market data in conjunction with internally developed discounted cash flow valuation models when valuing its derivative portfolio and, consequently, the fair value of the Company's derivatives is based on Level 2 inputs. The carrying amount of the Company's pension-related annuity contract is recorded at net asset value of the contract and, consequently, its fair value is based on Level 2 inputs and is included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of the Company's Term Loan B approximates fair value based on current market interest rates for debt instruments of similar credit standing and, consequently, their fair values are based on Level 2 inputs.

The following tables provide information regarding financial assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value (in thousands):

The Company does not have any non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. At December 31, 2025, the Term Loan B has been recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value. The Company has $15,000,000 outstanding under a credit agreement secured by the Company's U.S. accounts receivable balances (the "AR Securitization Facility") at December 31, 2025. The AR Securitization Facility has been recorded at carrying value which approximates fair value. Refer to Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company's long-term debt.

Market gains, interest, and dividend income on marketable securities are recorded in Investment (income) loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in foreign currency exchange (gain) loss or other comprehensive income (loss), to the extent that the derivative qualifies as a hedge under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". Interest and dividend income on marketable securities are measured based upon amounts earned on their respective declaration dates.

Refer to the 2025 Form 10-K for a full description of the assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis that are included in the Company's March 31, 2025 balance sheet.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventories**

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31, 2025** | **March 31, 2025** |
| At cost - FIFO basis: |  |  |
| Raw materials | $181449 | $163053 |
| Work-in-process | 34611 | 30349 |
| Finished goods | 44479 | 37197 |
| Total at cost FIFO basis | 260539 | 230599 |
| LIFO cost less than FIFO cost | (38162) | (32001) |
| Net inventories | $222377 | $198598 |

---

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many factors beyond management's control, estimated interim results are subject to change in the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marketable Securities and Other Investments**

In accordance with ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) are measured at fair value through earnings. The Company's marketable securities are recorded at their fair value, with unrealized changes in market value realized within Investment (income) loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact on earnings for unrealized gains and losses was a gain of $104,000 and a loss of $349,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and a gain of $435,000 and a loss of $113,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Consistent with prior periods, the estimated fair value is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet dates. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividend income are included in Investment (income) loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Marketable securities are carried as long-term assets since they are held for the settlement of the Company's general and product liability insurance claims filed through CM Insurance Company, Inc. ("CMIC"), the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. The marketable securities are not available for general working capital purposes.

Net realized gains related to sales of marketable securities were not material and $217,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and $178,000 and $275,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company owns a 49% ownership interest in Eastern Morris Cranes Company Limited ("EMC"), a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Company's ownership represents an equity investment in a strategic customer of Stahl Crane Systems GmbH ("STAHL") serving the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The investment's carrying value is presented in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the amount of $5,077,000 and $4,318,000 at December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and has been accounted for as an equity method investment. The investment value increased for the Company's ownership percentage of income earned by EMC in the amount of $168,000 and $99,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and increased by $902,000 and $436,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is recorded in Investment (income) loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Further, in the three months ended December 31, 2025, EMC distributed cash dividends, of which the Company received 49% pursuant to its ownership interest in EMC. The investment value was decreased for the Company's share of EMC's cash dividend in the amount of $514,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2025, as they were determined to be a return on the Company's investment in EMC. There were no such dividends in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. Dividends are included in operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the amount of $514,000 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, as the distribution received did not exceed cumulative equity in earnings under the cumulative earnings approach. The December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 trade accounts receivable balances due from EMC were $7,690,000 and $4,250,000, respectively, and are comprised of amounts due from the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of business. Sales to EMC for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 were $3,659,000 and $7,869,000, respectively, and $2,060,000 and $8,209,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Goodwill and Intangible Assets**

Goodwill and indefinite lived trademarks are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350-20-35-1. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. The Company's reporting units are determined based upon whether discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly, whether those units constitute a business, and the extent of economic similarities between those reporting units for purposes of aggregation. The Company's reporting units identified under ASC Topic 350-20-35-33 are at the component level, or one level below the operating segment level as defined under ASC Topic 280-10-50-10 "Segment Reporting - Disclosure." The Company has three reporting units as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The Linear Motion Products reporting unit (which designs, manufactures and sources mechanical and electromechanical actuators and rotary unions) had goodwill of $9,699,000 at December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The Rest of Products reporting unit (representing the hoist, chain, forgings, digital power, motion control, manufacturing, and distribution businesses) had goodwill of $320,083,000 and $305,110,000 at December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Precision Conveyance reporting unit (which represents high-precision conveying systems) had goodwill of $401,764,000 and $395,998,000 at December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

------

Refer to the 2025 Form 10-K for information regarding our annual goodwill and indefinite lived trademark impairment evaluation. Future impairment indicators, such as declines in forecasted cash flows, may cause impairment charges. Impairment charges could be based on such factors as the Company's stock price, forecasted cash flows, assumptions used, control premiums or other variables. There were no such indicators during the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

A summary of changes in goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 is as follows (in thousands):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Balance at April 1, 2025 | $710807 |
| Foreign currency translation | 20739 |

Goodwill is recognized net of accumulated impairment losses of $113,174,000 as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Identifiable intangible assets are summarized as follows (in thousands):

| Total | $559987 | $(214241) | $345746 | $541284 | $(184722) | $356562 |

---

The Company's intangible assets that are considered to have finite lives are amortized. The weighted-average amortization periods are 13 years for trademarks, 17 years for customer relationships, 16 years for acquired technology, 7 years for other, and 17 years in total. Trademarks with a carrying value of $47,886,000 as of December 31, 2025 have an indefinite useful life and are therefore not being amortized.

Total amortization expense was $7,622,000 and $7,501,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Total amortization expense was $22,940,000 and $22,548,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Based on the current amount of identifiable intangible assets and current exchange rates, the estimated annual amortization expense for each of the succeeding five years is expected to be approximately $30,000,000 excluding the Kito Crosby Acquisition.

**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative Instruments**

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage selected foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. All derivative instruments must be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss), or "AOCL," and is reclassified to earnings when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward agreements is reported in foreign currency exchange loss (gain) in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is reported in interest expense. For derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, all changes in market value are recorded as a foreign currency exchange (gain) loss in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash flow effects of derivatives are reported within net cash provided by operating activities.

------

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties on its financial instruments. The counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. The Company anticipates that these counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.

The Company's agreements with its counterparties contain provisions pursuant to which the Company could be declared in default of its derivative obligations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of December 31, 2025, it could have been required to settle its obligations under these agreements at amounts which approximate the December 31, 2025 fair values reflected in the table below. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company was not in default of any of its derivative obligations.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no derivatives designated as net investments or fair value hedges in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815.

The Company has a cross currency swap agreement that is designated as a cash flow hedge to hedge changes in the value of an intercompany loan to a foreign subsidiary due to changes in foreign exchange rates. This intercompany loan is related to the acquisition of STAHL. As of December 31, 2025, the notional amount of this derivative is $55,638,000, and this contract matures on March 31, 2028. From its December 31, 2025 balance of AOCL, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $1,472,000 out of AOCL, and into foreign currency exchange loss (gain), during the next 12 months based on the contractual payments due under this intercompany loan.

The Company has foreign currency forward agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges to hedge a portion of forecasted inventory purchases denominated in foreign currencies. As of December 31, 2025, the notional amount of those derivatives was $6,100,000, and all contracts mature by December 31, 2025. From its December 31, 2025 balance of AOCL, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $55,000 out of AOCL during the next 12 months based on the expected payments for the goods purchased.

The Company's interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges to hedge changes in interest expense due to changes in the interest rate of the Company's variable interest rate debt. The Company has five outstanding interest rate swap agreements in which the Company receives interest at a variable rate and pays interest at a fixed rate. The interest rate swaps have varying maturity dates between March 31, 2027 and March 23, 2029, with an aggregate notional amount of $355,000,000 as of December 31, 2025.

The effective portion of the changes in fair values of the interest rate swaps is reported in AOCL and will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the swap agreements. From its December 31, 2025 balance of AOCL, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $1,026,000 of AOCL into interest and debt expense during the next 12 months.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Debt**

***Term Loan B and Revolving Credit Facility***

On May 14, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement ("the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") to provide for a term loan B, in the initial amount of $450,000,000 maturing May 14, 2028, and a $100,000,000 revolving line of credit with a group of financial institutions ("Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility was later amended to increase its size to $175,000,000 in fiscal 2024.

The Company amended its Revolving Credit Facility on September 23, 2025 to (i) extend the maturity date from May 14, 2026 to February 13, 2028, (ii) make certain adjustments to the calculation of Total Leverage Ratio (as defined under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for purposes of determining compliance by the Company with the leverage ratio financial covenant under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Leverage Covenant") and (iii) change the triggering event to require compliance with the Leverage Covenant from the prior trigger that required compliance if any revolving loans were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility to a revised trigger that now requires compliance only if revolving loans exceeding 30.0% of the Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) under the Revolving Credit Facility are outstanding on the last day of any fiscal quarter. The Company has recorded $1,080,000 in deferred financing costs, of which $500,000 is related to the Revolving Credit Facility amendment and $580,000 is for unamortized fees carried over from the Company's prior Revolving Credit Facility as the extended term resulted in an increase to the overall borrowing capacity. These balances will be amortized through February 13, 2028 and are classified in Other

------

assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets since no funds were drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025.

The Company borrowed additional funds in accordance with the Accordion feature under its Term Loan B facility in the amount of $75,000,000 in both fiscal years 2022 and 2024.

Stock options with respect to 1,566,000 common shares for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because they were antidilutive. Further, contingently issuable common shares of 381,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 were excluded because a performance condition had not yet been met.

Stock options with respect to 578,000 common shares for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because they were antidilutive. Contingently issuable common shares of 244,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because a performance condition had not yet been met.

Stock options, restricted stock units, and performance shares with respect to 1,777,000 common shares for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because they were antidilutive as a result of the Company's net loss.

The Company grants share based compensation to eligible participants under the Columbus McKinnon Corporation Second Amended and Restated 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2016 LTIP"). The total number of shares of common stock with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2016 LTIP were increased by 2,500,000 as a result of the June 2019 amendment and restatement. In July of fiscal 2025, the 2016 LTIP was amended and restated a second time, which increased the total number of shares of common stock that may be granted under the 2016 LTIP by an additional 2,800,000 shares.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, there were no shares of stock issued upon the exercise of stock options that were issued under the Company's 2016 LTIP. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, 128,000 shares of restricted stock units vested and were issued.

*Subsequent Event* 

*Certificate of Amendment for Preferred Shares* 

On January 29, 2026, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the "Preferred Shares Amendment") to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the New York State Department of State establishing the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of the new Preferred Shares, described in Note 2, Acquisitions & Disposals.

------

The Preferred Shares rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to dividend rights and with respect to rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. Holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends that are payable quarterly in arrears, accrue and accumulate on a daily basis from the issuance date of such Preferred Shares and are payable at the Company's option, either (i) in cash or (ii) accumulate with respect to each outstanding Preferred Share for the relevant payment period, at a rate of 7.00% per annum, compounded quarterly, subject to adjustment and as set forth in the Preferred Shares Amendment. Holders of the Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive certain dividends declared or paid on the Company's common shares on an as-converted basis. No dividends will be payable to holders of the Company's common shares unless the full dividends are paid at the same time to the holders of the Preferred Shares, except for dividends paid in the form of the Company's common shares, convertible securities, or options, and the Company's regular quarterly dividends of up to $0.07 per calendar quarter.

*Certificate of Amendment for Authorized Shares and Preemptive Rights* 

On January 29, 2026, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the "Authorized Shares and Preemptive Rights Amendment") to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the New York State Department of State to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's capital stock from 51,000,000 shares to 101,000,000 shares and to increase the number of authorized common shares from 50,000,000 common shares to 100,000,000 and (ii) permit the exercise by the CD&R Investor of preemptive rights provided for in the investment agreement entered into connection with the issuance of the Preferred Shares for so long as the CD&R Investor holds Preferred Shares (or common shares issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) representing at least 25% of the Preferred Shares initially issued to the CD&R Investor to participate in future equity and equity-linked issuances by the Company to the extent necessary to maintain their pro rata ownership percentage interest in the Company, subject to customary exceptions.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contingencies**

From time to time, the Company is named a defendant in legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business. The Company does not believe that any of its pending litigation will have a material impact on its business.

Accrued general and product liability costs are actuarially estimated reserves based on amounts determined from loss reports, individual cases filed with the Company, and an amount for losses incurred but not reported. The aggregate amounts of reserves were $17,771,000 (gross of estimated insurance recoveries of $5,896,000) as of December 31, 2025, of which $13,871,000 is included in Other non current liabilities and $3,900,000 in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liability for accrued general and product liability costs are funded by investments in marketable securities (refer to Note 6).

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for accrued general and product liability (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31, 2025** | **March 31, 2025** |
| Accrued general and product liability, beginning of period | $19446 | $19988 |
| Insurance recoveries received | (1099) | (642) |
| Add provision for claims | 2989 | 3776 |
| Deduct payments for claims | (3565) | (3676) |
| Accrued general and product liability, end of period | $17771 | $19446 |
| Estimated future insurance recoveries | (5896) | (6995) |
| Net accrued general and product liability, end of period | $11875 | $12451 |

---

The per occurrence limits on the self-insurance for general and product liability coverage to Columbus McKinnon through CMIC, its wholly-owned captive insurance company were $2,000,000 from inception through fiscal 2003 and $3,000,000 for fiscal 2004 and thereafter. In addition to the per occurrence limits, the Company's coverage is also subject to an annual aggregate limit, applicable to losses only. These limits range from $2,000,000 to $6,000,000 for each policy year from inception through fiscal 2026. The Company also purchases excess general and product liability insurance up to an aggregate $100,000,000 limit. In fiscal 2025, the aggregate limit was $75,000,000.

------

*Asbestos*

Like many industrial manufacturers, the Company is involved in asbestos-related litigation. In continually evaluating costs relating to its estimated asbestos-related liability, the Company reviews, among other things, the incidence of past and recent claims, the historical case dismissal rate, the mix of the claimed illnesses and occupations of the plaintiffs, its recent and historical resolution of the cases, the number of cases pending against it, the status and results of broad-based settlement discussions, and the number of years such activity might continue. Based on this review, the Company has estimated its share of liability to defend and resolve probable asbestos-related personal injury claims. This estimate is highly uncertain due to the limitations of the available data and the difficulty of forecasting with any certainty the numerous variables that can affect the range of the liability. The Company will continue to study the variables in light of additional information in order to identify trends that may become evident and to assess their impact on the range of liability that is probable and estimable.

Based on actuarial information from fiscal 2025, the Company has estimated its net asbestos-related aggregate liability including related legal costs to range between $3,600,000 and $6,500,000, net of insurance recoveries, using actuarial parameters of continued claims for a period of 38 years from December 31, 2025. The Company has estimated its asbestos-related aggregate liability that is probable and estimable, net of insurance recoveries, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles approximates $4,987,000. The Company has reflected the liability gross of insurance recoveries of $5,896,000 as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025. The recorded liability does not consider the impact of any potential favorable federal legislation. This liability will fluctuate based on the uncertainty in the number of future claims that will be filed and the cost to resolve those claims, which may be influenced by a number of factors, including the outcome of the ongoing broad-based settlement negotiations, defensive strategies, and the cost to resolve claims outside the broad-based settlement program. Of this amount, management expects to incur asbestos liability payments of approximately $1,800,000 over the next 12 months. Because payment of the liability is likely to extend over many years, management believes that the potential additional costs for claims will not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company or its liquidity, although the effect of any future liabilities recorded could be material to earnings in a future period.

A share of the Company's previously incurred asbestos-related expenses and future asbestos-related expenses are covered by pre-existing insurance policies. The Company had been engaged in a legal action against the insurance carriers for those policies to recover past expenses and future costs incurred. The Company came to an agreement with the insurance carriers to settle its case against them for recovery of a portion of past costs and future costs for asbestos-related legal defense costs. The agreement was finalized during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The terms of the settlement require the carriers to pay gross defense costs prior to retro-premiums of 65% for future asbestos-related defense costs subject to an annual cap of $1,650,000 for claims covered by the settlements.

Further, the insurance carriers are expected to cover 100% of indemnity costs related to all covered cases. Estimates of the future cost sharing have been included in the loss reserve calculation as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The Company has recorded a receivable for the estimated future cost sharing in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025 in the amount of $5,896,000, which offsets its asbestos reserves.

In addition, one of the Company's subsidiaries, Magnetek, Inc. ("Magnetek") has been named, along with multiple other defendants, in asbestos-related lawsuits associated with business operations previously acquired but which are no longer owned. During Magnetek's ownership, none of the businesses produced or sold asbestos-containing products. For such claims, Magnetek is uninsured and either contractually indemnified against liability, or contractually obligated to defend and indemnify the purchaser of these former business operations. The Company aggressively seeks dismissal from these proceedings. The asbestos-related liability including legal costs is estimated to be approximately $1,277,000 which has been reflected as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025.

*Product Liability*

The Company is also involved in other unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The most prevalent of these unresolved actions involve disputes related to product design, manufacture and performance liability. The Company's estimation of its product-related aggregate liability that is probable and estimable, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles approximates $5,612,000, which has been reflected as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025. In some cases, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter.

In April of fiscal 2025, a trial involving a product liability claim against the Company resulted in a jury verdict demanding the Company to pay approximately $3,000,000 in damages. The Company is in the process of appealing the decision and, along

------

with its attorneys, believes it will be successful in overturning this verdict and that payment of the damages is not probable. As such, the Company has not accrued the damages as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025.

Management believes that the potential additional costs for claims will not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company or its liquidity, although the effect of any future liabilities recorded could be material to earnings in a future period.

*Litigation-Other*

In October 2010, Magnetek received a request for indemnification from Power-One, Inc. ("Power-One") for an Italian tax matter arising out of the sale of Magnetek's power electronics business to Power-One in October 2006. With a reservation of rights, Magnetek affirmed its obligation to indemnify Power-One for certain pre-closing taxes. The sale included an Italian company, Magnetek, S.p.A., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Magnetek Electronics (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. (the "Power-One China Subsidiary"). The tax authority in Arezzo, Italy, issued a notice of audit report in September 2010 wherein it asserted that the Power-One China Subsidiary had its administrative headquarters in Italy and, therefore, it should be considered resident in Italy and subject to taxation in Italy. In November 2010, the tax authority issued a notice of tax assessment for the period of July 2003 to June 2004, alleging that taxes of approximately $2,200,000 (Euro 1,900,000), plus interest, were due in Italy on taxable income earned by the Power-One China Subsidiary during this period. In addition, the assessment alleges potential penalties in the amount of approximately $2,600,000 (Euro 2,200,000) for the alleged failure of the Power-One China Subsidiary to file its Italian tax return. The Power-One China Subsidiary filed its response with the provincial tax commission of Arezzo, Italy in January 2011. A hearing before the Tax Court was held in July 2012 on the tax assessment for the period of July 2003 to June 2004. In September 2012, the Tax Court ruled in favor of the Power-One China Subsidiary dismissing the tax assessment for the period of July 2003 to June 2004. In February 2013, the tax authority filed an appeal of the Tax Court's September 2012 ruling. The Regional Tax Commission of Florence heard the appeal of the tax assessment dismissal for the period of July 2003 to June 2004 and thereafter issued its ruling finding in favor of the tax authority. Magnetek believed the court's decision was based upon erroneous interpretations of the applicable law and appealed the ruling to the Italian Supreme Court in April 2015. In April 2022, the Supreme Court upheld the appeal in favor of Power-One.

The tax authority in Arezzo, Italy also issued a tax inspection report in January 2011 for the periods July 2002 to June 2003 (fiscal period 2002/2003) and July 2004 to December 2006 (fiscal periods 2004/2005 and 2005/2006) claiming that the Power-One China Subsidiary failed to file Italian tax returns for the reported periods. In August 2012, the tax authority in Arezzo, Italy issued four notices of tax assessment for the periods July 2002 to June 2003 and July 2004 to December 2006, alleging that taxes of approximately $7,900,000 (Euro 6,700,000) were due in Italy on taxable income earned by the Power-One China Subsidiary together with an allegation of potential penalties in the amount of approximately $3,300,000 (Euro 2,800,000) for the alleged failure of the Power-One China Subsidiary to file its Italian tax returns.

On June 3, 2015, the Tax Court, ruled in favor of the Power-One China Subsidiary dismissing the tax assessments for the periods of July 2002 to June 2003 and July 2004 to December 2006. On July 27, 2015, the tax authority filed appeals of the Tax Court's ruling of June 3, 2015. In May 2016, the Regional Tax Court of Florence rejected the appeals of the tax authority and at the same time canceled the notices of assessment for the fiscal years of 2004/2005 and 2005/2006. In December 2016, the Power-One China Subsidiary was served by the Italian Revenue Agency with two appeals to the Italian Supreme Court regarding the two positive judgments on the tax assessments for the fiscal periods 2004/2005 and 2005/2006. In February 2017, the Power-One China Subsidiary filed two memorandums before the Italian Supreme Court in response to the appeals made by the tax authority against the positive judgments on the tax assessments for fiscal years 2004/2005 and 2005/2006.

In March 2017, the Regional Tax Court of Florence rejected the appeal of the assessment for the 2006 fiscal year (period July 2006-December 2006). In October 2017, the Power-One China Subsidiary was served by the Italian Revenue Agency with an appeal to the Italian Supreme Court against the positive judgment on the tax assessment for fiscal year 2006. In November 2017, the Power-One China Subsidiary filed a memorandum before the Italian Supreme Court in response to the appeal made by the tax authority against the positive judgment on the tax assessment for fiscal year 2006. In March 2018, the Regional Tax Court of Florence rejected the appeal of the assessment for the 2002/2003 fiscal year. In October 2018, the Power-One China Subsidiary was served by the Italian Revenue Agency with an appeal to the Italian Supreme Court against the positive judgment on the tax assessment for fiscal year 2002/2003. In November 2018, the Power-One China Subsidiary filed a memorandum with the Italian Supreme Court in response to the appeal made by the tax authority. The Supreme Court upheld the appeals of the Italian Tax Authority and remitted the proceedings back to the Regional Tax Court for a new evaluation of the substance of the dispute.

------

In December 2022, the Power One China Subsidiary resumed the proceedings concerning the tax assessments for fiscal years 2002/2003 and 2006 before the Regional Tax Court. A hearing was held before the Regional Tax Court in April and May of 2023, in two separate decisions, the court ruled in favor of the Company. The tax authority appealed this decision on December 6, 2023, and the Company filed the relevant counter claims in January of 2024.

In March 2023, the Power One China Subsidiary resumed the proceedings concerning the tax assessments for fiscal years 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 before the Regional Tax Court. The hearing was held in February 2024 where the court upheld the assessments. The Company is appealing the judgment and expects the Supreme court to reverse the judgment of the lower court as they have previously with the 2002/2003 and 2006 assessments.

The Company believes it will be successful and does not expect to incur a liability related to these assessments.

In September of 2017, Magnetek received a request for defense and indemnification from Monsanto Company, Pharmacia, LLC, and Solutia, Inc. (collectively, "Monsanto") with respect to: (1) lawsuits brought by plaintiffs claiming that Monsanto manufactured polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs"), exposure to which allegedly caused injury to plaintiffs; and (2) lawsuits brought by municipalities and municipal entities claiming that Monsanto should be responsible for a variety of damages due to the presence of PCBs in bodies of water in those municipalities and/or in water treated by those municipal entities. Monsanto claims to be entitled to defense and indemnification from Magnetek under a so-called "Special Undertaking" apparently executed by Magnetek's predecessor Universal Manufacturing Corporation ("Universal") in January of 1972, which purportedly required Universal to defend and indemnify Monsanto from liabilities "arising out of or in connection with the receipt, purchase, possession, handling, use, sale or disposition of" PCBs by Universal.

Magnetek has declined Monsanto's tender and believes that it has meritorious legal and factual defenses to the demands made by Monsanto. Magnetek is vigorously defending against those demands and commenced litigation in New Jersey to, among other things, declare the Special Undertaking void and unenforceable. Monsanto has, in turn, commenced an action to enforce the Special Undertaking in Missouri and joined five additional companies as co-defendants in that Missouri action. The New Jersey action was recently dismissed in favor of the Missouri action.

Magnetek intends to continue to vigorously defend against Monsanto's action. The Company cannot reasonably estimate a potential range of loss with respect to Monsanto's tender because there is insufficient information regarding the underlying matters. Management believes, however, that the potential additional legal costs related to such matters will not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company or its liquidity, although the effect of any future liabilities recorded could be material to earnings in a future period.

The Company had previously filed suit against Travelers in District Court seeking coverage under insurance policies in the name of Universal. In July 2019, the District Court ruled that Travelers is obligated to defend Magnetek under these policies in connection with Magnetek's litigation against Monsanto. The Court held that Monsanto's claims against Magnetek fall within the insuring agreement of the Travelers policies and that none of the policy exclusions precluded the possibility of coverage. The Court also held that Travelers prior settlements with other insureds under the policies did not cut off or release Magnetek's rights under the policies. Travelers moved for reconsideration which motion was denied. Travelers is currently defending the Company in its litigation with Monsanto.

The Company is also engaged in similar insurance coverage litigation against Transportation Insurance Company ("TIC") in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. That suit is presently stayed due to the bankruptcy of Velsicol Chemical, LLC, a third-party indemnitor of TIC and Travelers.

*Environmental Matters*

Along with other manufacturing companies, the Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws relating to the protection of the environment. To address the requirements of such laws, the Company has adopted a corporate environmental protection policy which provides that all of its owned or leased facilities shall, and all of its employees have the duty to, comply with all applicable environmental regulatory standards, and the Company utilizes an environmental auditing program for its facilities to ensure compliance with such regulatory standards. The Company has also established managerial responsibilities and internal communication channels for dealing with environmental compliance issues that may arise in the course of its business. Because of the complexity and changing nature of environmental regulatory standards, it is possible that situations will arise from time to time requiring the Company to incur expenditures in order to ensure environmental regulatory compliance. However, the Company is not aware of any environmental condition or any operation at any of its facilities, either individually or in the aggregate, which would cause expenditures having a material adverse effect on its results of operations,

financial condition or cash flows and, accordingly, has not budgeted any material capital expenditures for environmental compliance for fiscal 2026.

In 1986, Magnetek acquired the stock of Universal from a predecessor of Fruit of the Loom ("FOL"), and the predecessor agreed to indemnify Magnetek against certain environmental liabilities arising from pre-acquisition activities at a facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Environmental liabilities covered by the indemnification agreement included completion of additional cleanup activities, if any, at the Bridgeport facility and defense and indemnification against liability for potential response costs related to offsite disposal locations. Magnetek's leasehold interest in the Bridgeport facility was assigned to the buyer in connection with the sale of Magnetek's transformer business in June 2001. FOL, the successor to the indemnification obligation, filed a petition for Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in 1999 and Magnetek filed a proof of claim in the proceeding for obligations related to the environmental indemnification agreement. Magnetek believes that FOL had substantially completed the clean-up obligations required by the indemnification agreement prior to the bankruptcy filing. In November 2001, Magnetek and FOL entered into an agreement involving the allocation of certain potential tax benefits and Magnetek withdrew its claims in the bankruptcy proceeding. Magnetek further believes that FOL's obligation to the state of Connecticut was not discharged in the reorganization proceeding.

In January 2007, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") requested parties, including Magnetek, to submit reports summarizing the investigations and remediation performed to date at the site and the proposed additional investigations and remediation necessary to complete those actions at the site. DEP requested additional information relating to site investigations and remediation. Magnetek and the DEP agreed to the scope of the work plan in November 2010. The Company has recorded a liability of $540,000 included in the amount specified above, related to the Bridgeport facility, representing the best estimate of future site investigation costs and remediation costs which are expected to be incurred in the future.

For all of the currently known environmental matters, the Company has amounts accrued as of December 31, 2025 which, in our opinion, are sufficient to deal with such matters. The Company is not aware of any environmental condition or any operation at any of its facilities, either individually or in the aggregate, which would cause expenditures to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows and, accordingly, has not budgeted any material capital expenditures for environmental compliance for fiscal 2026.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1,781,000 and $595,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and income tax expense of $1,929,000 and $442,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Income tax as a percentage of pre-tax income was 23% and 6% in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Income tax as a percentage of pre-tax income (loss) was 33% and (22)% in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Typically these percentages vary from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to varying statutory tax rates at the Company's foreign subsidiaries, and the jurisdictional mix of income for these subsidiaries.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, income tax was favorably impacted by the Act for an Immediate Tax Investment Program to Strengthen Germany as a Business Location (the "New German Tax Law"). The New German Tax Law enacted in July 2025 will lower the German corporate income tax rate from 15% to 10% by 2032. The associated revaluation of the Company's German net deferred tax liabilities results in an income tax benefit of approximately $3,200,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 also reflects an unfavorable impact of approximately $749,000 related to the recognition of a U.S. state tax reserve. The reserve primarily relates to the valuation of state tax attributes and if settled would have minimal cash tax impact.

The Company estimates that the effective tax rate related to continuing operations will be approximately 15% for fiscal 2026. This rate is reflective of an expected 16% favorable rate impact from the New German Tax Law discussed above, as well as an estimated 4% unfavorable impact from establishment of the state tax reserve as previously discussed.

On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, also known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" ("OBBBA") was enacted into law in the United States, with many of its provisions taking effect during the Company's 2026 fiscal year. The income tax expense calculated for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 reflects consideration of the OBBBA. The impact to the Company's effective tax rate as a result of the OBBBA is not expected to be material for the fiscal 2026.

Refer to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K for further information on income taxes.

**15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Leases**

The Company's lease arrangements generally include real estate (manufacturing facilities, sales offices, distribution centers, warehouses), vehicles, and equipment. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; the Company has elected not to recognize leases with terms of one year or less on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease obligations and their corresponding Right of Use (ROU) assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company's leases have lease terms ranging from 1 to 23 years, some of which include options to extend or terminate the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. When deemed reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal options are included in the determination of the lease term. The Company's lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or any material restrictive covenants.

**16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Business Segment Information**

ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," establishes the standards for reporting information about operating segments in financial statements. The Company has one operating and reportable segment for both internal and external reporting purposes.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who is its chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), evaluates the performance of the Company's operating segment based on Income from operations. The CODM reviews budget-to-actual variances and year over year performance when making operating decisions to allocate resources to the segment.

The significant segment expenses that are regularly provided on a quarterly basis to the CODM are cost of products sold, research and development expenses, selling expenses, general and administrative expenses and amortization of intangibles, which are presented on the face of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and included in the calculation of Income from operations.

**17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements**

*Topics Not Yet Adopted*

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, *Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements,* to clarify and enhance hedge accounting guidance, targeting improved alignment with risk management practices and addressing issues from global reference rate reform. The new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company will adopt this standard, but we believe this will not have an overall material impact to the financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software Financial Instruments* updated previous internal use software capitalization guidance to provide additional guidance on when costs can begin to be capitalized. The new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company will adopt this standard, however, the Company believes this will not have an overall material impact to the financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, *Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets* provides for a practical expedient when estimating credit losses under CECL for current accounts receivables and for current contract assets arising from revenue transactions accounted for under ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*, including those acquired under ASC 805, *Business Combinations*. The new guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company believes the adoption of this standard will not have an overall material impact to the financial statements.

------

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU will improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses commonly presented within the expense caption on the Company's Statement of Operations. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company believes the adoption of this standard will result in additional disclosures, but will not have an overall material impact to the financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU is intended to provide increased transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company believes the adoption of this standard will result in additional disclosures in its Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, but will not have an overall material impact to the financial statements.

Item 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

**Executive Overview**

The Company is a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer and marketer of intelligent motion solutions, including motion control products, technologies, automated systems and services, that efficiently and ergonomically move, lift, position and secure materials. Our key products include hoists, crane components, precision conveyors, actuators, rigging tools, light rail workstations, and digital power and motion control systems. These are highly relevant, professional-grade solutions that solve customers' critical material handling requirements.

Founded in 1875, we have grown to our current size and leadership position through organic growth and acquisitions. We developed our leading market position over our 150-year history by emphasizing technological innovation, manufacturing excellence and superior customer service. In accordance with our strategic framework, we are building out our business system (CMBS) and growth framework to be market-led, customer-centric, and operationally excellent with our people and values at the core. We believe this will transform Columbus McKinnon into a top-tier Intelligent Motion Solutions company. We expect our strategy will enhance shareholder value by expanding EBITDA margins and return on invested capital ("ROIC").

Our revenue base is geographically diverse with approximately 43% of net sales derived from customers outside the U.S. for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. We believe this diversity balances the impact of changes that occur in local economies, as well as benefits the Company by providing access to growing emerging markets. We monitor both U.S. and Eurozone Industrial Capacity Utilization statistics as well as the ISM Production Index as indicators of anticipated demand for our products. In addition, we continue to monitor the potential impact of other global and U.S. trends including, industrial production, trade tariffs, raw material cost inflation, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and activity of end-user markets around the globe.

From a strategic perspective, we are investing in new products and channels as we focus on our greatest opportunities for growth. We have leading market positions in hoists, lifting and sling chain, forged attachments, actuators, precision conveyors and digital power and motion control systems for the material handling industry. We are focusing our sales and marketing activities toward select North American and global market sectors including general industrial, energy, automotive, heavy OEM, entertainment, construction and infrastructure, life sciences food and beverage, e-commerce and consumer products.

In fiscal 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of montratec GmbH ("montratec"), a leading automation solutions company that designs and develops intelligent automation and transport systems for interlinking industrial production and logistics processes. montratec product offerings compliment the previous acquisitions of both Dorner and Garvey, and these acquisitions are collectively expected to accelerate the Company's shift to intelligent motion solutions and serve as a platform to expand capabilities in advanced, higher technology automation solutions.

Regardless of the economic climate and point in the economic cycle, we constantly explore ways to increase operating margins as well as further improve our productivity and competitiveness. We have specific initiatives to reduce lead-times, improve on-time deliveries, reduce warranty costs, and improve material and factory productivity. The initiatives are being driven by the implementation of our business operating system, CMBS. We are working to achieve these strategic initiatives through business simplification, operational excellence, and profitable growth initiatives. We believe these initiatives will enhance future operating margins.

Our principal raw materials and components purchases were approximately $375 million in fiscal 2025 (or 59% of Cost of products sold) and include steel, consisting of rod, wire, bar, structural, and other forms of steel; electric motors; bearings; gear reducers; castings; steel and aluminum enclosures and wire harnesses; electro-mechanical components; and standard variable drives and controls. These commodities are all available from multiple sources. We purchase most of these raw materials and components from a limited number of strategic and preferred suppliers under agreements which are negotiated on a company-wide basis through our global purchasing group. Currently, as a result of global inflation and tariffs, we are experiencing higher raw material costs and availability issues for select raw materials and components. To date, we have raised prices to our customers to cover these increased raw material costs and are working with our supply base to prioritize shipments and improve availability of key components.

We operate in a highly competitive and global business environment. We see a variety of opportunities in our markets and geographies, including trends toward automation and increasing labor productivity and the expansion of market opportunities in Asia and other emerging markets. While we execute our long-term growth strategy, we are supported by our strong free cash flow as well as our liquidity position and flexible debt structure.

------

On February 10, 2025, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity of Kito Crosby. The Kito Crosby Acquisition is expected to meaningfully improve the Company's scale, enhance our collective geographic reach, significantly expand our lifting securement and consumables portfolio and enhance our customer value proposition.

With global engineering, manufacturing, distribution, and operations, Kito Crosby provides a broad range of products and solutions for the most demanding applications. Kito Crosby's people, products, solutions, and service have innovated the lifting and securement industry throughout its long history. Kito Crosby's iconic brands include Kito, Crosby, Harrington, Gunnebo Industries, and Peerless. We expect that the Kito Crosby Acquisition will strengthen our core lifting business and further the Company's position as a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer and marketer of intelligent motion solutions that move the world forward and improve lives by efficiently and ergonomically moving, lifting, positioning and securing materials. The Kito Crosby Acquisition closed on February 3, 2026, which was subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

**Results of Operations**

*Three months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024*

Net sales in the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $258,655,000, an increase of $24,517,000 or 10.5% from the three months ended December 31, 2024 net sales of $234,138,000. Net sales were positively impacted by $11,733,000 of sales volume and $6,076,000 due to price increases. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted sales by $6,708,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Gross profit in the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $89,157,000, an increase of $7,060,000 or 8.6% from the three months ended December 31, 2024 gross profit of $82,097,000. Gross profit margin was 34.5% in the fiscal 2026 third quarter compared to 35.1% in the fiscal 2025 third quarter. Higher sales volume increased gross profit by $1,673,000. In addition, gross profit was increased compared to the prior year by $1,555,000 due to lower start-up costs related to the Monterrey, Mexico facility, $460,000 of lower business realignment costs, $409,000 of lower factory consolidation activities and by $261,000 of lower product liability expense in the quarter. Price increases net of material inflation and other manufacturing cost changes contributed to an increase in gross profit of $317,000. The translation of foreign currencies had a favorable impact on gross profit of $2,385,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Selling expenses were $28,777,000 and $27,348,000, or 11.1% and 11.7% of net sales, in the fiscal 2026 and 2025 third quarters, respectively. Foreign currency translation had a $956,000 unfavorable impact on selling expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2025 with the remaining increase attributable to overall increase in sales during the period.

General and administrative expenses were $32,148,000 and $24,233,000, or 12.4% and 10.3% of net sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased $6,342,000 as a result of the Kito Crosby Acquisition and higher employee related costs of $3,188,000. These increases were offset by $1,299,000 of expense in fiscal 2025 to record a reserve against an accounts receivable balance for a customer who declared bankruptcy in January of 2025 which did not recur in fiscal 2026. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of $407,000 on general and administrative expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Research and development expenses were $4,442,000 and $5,325,000, or 1.7% and 2.3% of net sales, in both the fiscal 2026 and 2025 third quarter, respectively. The reduction in research and development expenses is primarily related to reduced labor and benefit costs.

Amortization of intangibles was $7,622,000 and $7,501,000 in the fiscal 2026 and 2025 third quarters, respectively, with the fluctuations related to foreign currency during the respective periods.

Interest and debt expense was $8,312,000 in the third quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to $7,698,000 in the third quarter ended December 31, 2024. The increase is the result of increasing variable interest rates year over year due to the expiration of a favorable interest rate swap in February 2025.

Investment income was $395,000 in the third quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to $54,000 in the third quarter ended December 31, 2024. Investment income relates to the mark-to-market adjustments on the marketable securities held in the Company's wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary and the Company's equity method investment in EMC, described in Note 6 of the financial statements.

------

Income tax expense as a percentage of the pre-tax income was 23% was 33% in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Typically, these percentages vary from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to varying statutory tax rates at the Company's foreign subsidiaries, and the jurisdictional mix of income for these subsidiaries.

*Nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024*

Net sales in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 were $755,622,000, an increase of $39,484,000 or 5.5% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024 net sales of $716,138,000. Net sales were positively impacted by $13,474,000 due to price increases, and $11,391,000 of favorable sales volume. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted sales by $14,619,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

Gross profit in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was $256,539,000, an increase of $10,669,000 or 4.3% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024 gross profit of $245,870,000. Gross profit margin was 34.0% in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 34.3% in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Gross profit compared to the prior year increased by $10,464,000 due to lower factory consolidation activities, $1,934,000 due to lower start-up costs related to the Monterrey, Mexico facility, $261,000 of lower product liability expense and $171,000 of costs due to Hurricane Helene recognized in the prior year. In addition, gross profit was reduced by $522,000 of net business realignment costs, and current year acquisition and integration costs reduced gross profit by $67,000 related to the Kito Crosby Acquisition. Unfavorable mix reduced gross profit by $371,000. Price increases net of material inflation and other manufacturing cost changes reduced gross profit by $6,378,000. The translation of foreign currencies had a favorable impact on gross profit of $5,177,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

Selling expenses were $86,430,000 and $82,044,000, or 11.4% and 11.5% of net sales, in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Foreign currency translation had a $2,278,000 unfavorable impact on selling expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 with the remaining increase attributable to overall increase in sales during the period.

General and administrative expenses were $99,277,000 and $74,043,000, or 13.1% and 10.3% of net sales, in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased $24,373,000 as a result of the Kito Crosby Acquisition and higher employee related costs of $2,756,000. These increases were offset by $1,299,000 of expense to record a reserve against an accounts receivable balance for a customer who declared bankruptcy in January of 2025. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of $910,000 on general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

Research and development expenses were $14,044,000 and $17,593,000, or 1.9% and 2.5% of net sales, in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The reduction in research and development expenses is primarily related to reduced labor and benefit costs.

Amortization of intangibles was $22,940,000 and $22,548,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with fluctuations related to foreign currency during the respective periods.

Interest and debt expense was $25,757,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $24,285,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase is the result of increasing variable interest rates year over year due to the expiration of a favorable interest rate swap in February 2025.

Investment income was $1,965,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $873,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Investment income relates to the mark-to-market adjustments on the marketable securities held in the Company's wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary and the Company's equity method investment in EMC, described in Note 6 of the financial statements.

Income tax expense as a percentage of the pre-tax income was 6% and income tax benefit as a percentage of the pre-tax loss was (22)% in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Typically, these percentages vary from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to varying statutory tax rates at the Company's foreign subsidiaries, and the jurisdictional mix of income for these subsidiaries.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, income tax was favorably impacted by the Act for an Immediate Tax Investment Program to Strengthen Germany as a Business Location (the "New German Tax Law"). The New German Tax Law enacted in July 2025 will lower the German corporate income tax rate from 15% to 10% by 2032. The associated revaluation of the Company's German net deferred tax liabilities results in an income tax benefit of approximately $3,200,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 also reflects an

------

unfavorable impact of approximately $749,000 related to the recognition of a U.S. state tax reserve. The reserve primarily relates to the valuation of state tax attributes and if settled would have minimal cash tax impact. Refer to Note 13 of the financial statements for additional information.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $35,734,000 at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $18,199,000 from the March 31, 2025 balance of $53,933,000.

*Cash flow from operating activities*

Net cash provided by operating activities was $20,595,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $10,000,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Net income of $8,695,000 along with non-cash adjustments of $40,858,000 contributed to cash inflows from operations. The non-cash adjustments included $36,620,000 of depreciation and amortization, $7,779,000 of stock-based compensation and $7,321,000 of non-cash lease expense offset by $11,472,000 of deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances. Changes in working capital which reduced cash from operations by $22,686,000 as a result of an increase of $15,997,000 in inventories, a decrease of $3,616,000 in trade payables, an increase in trade accounts receivable of $3,480,000, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $403,000, offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $810,000. The increase in inventories relates to purchases made in advance of expected future demand. Cash provided for operations was also reduced by a decrease of $8,875,000 in other non-current liabilities primarily due to lease payments for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

*Cash flow from investing activities*

Net cash used for investing activities was $6,830,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $14,222,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The use of cash for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 primarily consisted of $10,347,000 in capital expenditures offset by $3,257,000 of proceeds received from sale of two previously closed manufacturing facilities.

*Cash flow from financing activities*

Net cash used for financing activities was $30,520,000 and $69,499,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The most significant uses of cash in fiscal 2026 were for $21,821,000 of debt repayments and $6,025,000 of dividend payments. Cash flows from hedging activities related to the Company's cross currency swap are classified as financing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows which resulted in a net cash outflow of $1,301,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows, and borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and debt obligations, and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. This belief is dependent upon successful execution of our current business plan and effective working capital utilization. No material restrictions exist in accessing cash held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. We expect to meet our funding needs with cash provided by our U.S. operations, as well as by repatriating non-U.S. cash. We do not expect to incur significant incremental U.S. taxes as we repatriate funds. As of December 31, 2025, $34,314,000 of cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries.

Refer to Note 9 of the financial statements for further discussion of the Company's long-term debt and financing costs.

------

**Capital Expenditures**

In addition to keeping our current equipment and plants properly maintained, we are committed to replacing, enhancing and upgrading our property, plant and equipment to support new product development, improve productivity and customer responsiveness, reduce production costs, increase flexibility to respond effectively to market fluctuations and changes, meet environmental requirements, enhance safety and promote ergonomically correct work stations. Consolidated capital expenditures for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $10,347,000 and $15,266,000, respectively. We expect capital expenditure spending in fiscal 2026 to range from $12,000,000 to $16,000,000.

**Inflation and Other Market Conditions**

Our costs are affected by inflation in the U.S. economy and, to a lesser extent, in non-U.S. economies including those of Europe, Canada, Mexico, South America, and Asia-Pacific. We do not believe that general inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations over the periods presented despite rising inflation due to our ability to pass on rising costs through price increases. We are currently experiencing higher raw material costs as a result of tariffs, which we expect to recover with pricing actions. In the future, we may not be able to pass on these cost increases to our customers.

**Goodwill Impairment Testing**

We test goodwill for impairment at least annually and more frequently whenever events occur or circumstances change that indicate there may be impairment. These events or circumstances could include a significant long-term adverse change in the business climate, poor indicators of operating performance, or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.

We test goodwill at the reporting unit level, which is one level below our operating segment. We identify our reporting units by assessing whether the components of our operating segment constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components. We also aggregate components that have similar economic characteristics into single reporting units (for example, similar products and / or services, similar long-term financial results, product processes, classes of customers, etc.). We have three reporting units: the Linear Motion Products reporting unit, the Rest of Products reporting unit, and the Precision Conveyance reporting unit, which have goodwill totaling $9,699,000, $320,083,000, and $401,764,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

We currently do not believe that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than its applicable carrying value. Additionally, we currently do not believe that we have any significant impairment indicators. However, if the projected long-term revenue growth rates, profit margins, or terminal growth rates are significantly lower, and /or the estimated weighted-average cost of capital is higher, future testing may indicate impairment of one or more of the Company's reporting units and, as a result, the related goodwill may be impaired.

Refer to our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our annual goodwill impairment process.

**Seasonality and Quarterly Results**

Quarterly results may be materially affected by the timing of large customer orders, periods of high vacation and holiday concentrations, legal settlements, gains or losses in our portfolio of marketable securities, restructuring charges, favorable or unfavorable foreign currency translation, divestitures and acquisitions. Therefore, the operating results for any particular fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any subsequent fiscal quarter or for the full fiscal year.

**Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements**

Information regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 17 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in the market risks as previously disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Item 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Controls and Procedures.

As of December 31, 2025, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the Company's principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (the Company's principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is made known to them on a timely basis, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Part II. Other Information**

Item 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Legal Proceedings.

There have been no material developments from the legal proceedings as previously disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K and the notes to the consolidated financial statements thereto.

Item 1A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K except as set forth below. The risks and uncertainties described in our 2025 Form 10-K and below are those that we have identified as material, but are not the only risks or uncertainties facing Columbus McKinnon. This list in our 2025 Form 10-K and below are not all-inclusive, and our business could also be materially adversely affected by additional risks that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

***We have recorded goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with our prior acquisitions. Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets could become impaired and adversely affect our future operating results.***

We have accounted for business acquisitions, including our prior acquisitions of montratec, Dorner Mfg. Corp and Garvey Corporation, which are each part of our Precision Conveyance reporting unit, as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses based on their fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill.

To the extent the value of goodwill or other intangible assets becomes impaired, we may be required to incur charges and such charges may be material. We conduct our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analysis annually, or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. As part of our annual goodwill impairment analysis with respect to our Precision Conveyance reporting unit, we performed a qualitative assessment as of February 28, 2025, and, based upon the results of this qualitative assessment, we determined that a quantitative test was required to be performed as the businesses in this reporting unit were recently acquired resulting in a relatively small difference between the Precision Conveyance reporting unit's book and fair value. The quantitative test results indicated that the goodwill of the Precision Conveyance reporting unit was not impaired at the time of that test as its fair value exceeded its book value by 2.6%. While the goodwill of the Precision Conveyance reporting unit was not determined to be impaired at that time, it may be at risk of future impairment, in which charges may be material, if the related business does not perform as projected, or if market assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the discount rate. Refer to Note 7 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our goodwill and intangible assets.

Any such impairment charges relating to goodwill or other intangible assets could have a material impact on our operating results in future periods, and the announcement of a material impairment could have an adverse impact on the trading price of the shares of our common stock.

***We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Kito Crosby Acquisition or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected.*** 

We expect to devote significant management attention to integrating the business practices and operations of Kito Crosby with Columbus McKinnon. In connection with the closing of the Kito Crosby Acquisition, we may experience disruptions to our business and, if integrated ineffectively, such disruptions could restrict the realization of the full expected benefits of the Kito Crosby Acquisition. The failure to meet the challenges involved in the integration process and to realize the anticipated benefits of the Kito Crosby Acquisition could cause an interruption or loss of momentum in our operations. Difficulties in integrating Kito Crosby into our business may include rationalizing the operations, processes and systems of the acquired business, retaining and motivating key management and employees, and integrating existing business relationships with suppliers and customers. Even if integration of Kito Crosby is successful, the financial and operational results may differ materially from our assumptions and forecasts due to unforeseen expenses, delays, conditions and liabilities. In addition, we may incur unanticipated costs or expenses following the Kito Crosby Acquisition, including post-closing asset impairment charges, expenses associated with eliminating duplicate facilities, and other liabilities. Furthermore, the closing of the Kito Crosby Acquisition and the subsequent integration of Kito Crosby into our business may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, charges, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customers and other business relationships, and diversion of management's attention. Additional integration challenges may include difficulty in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities, growth prospects and other benefits from the Kito Crosby Acquisition; difficulties in the

------

integration of operations and systems, including pricing and marketing strategies; and difficulties in conforming standards, controls, procedures, financial reporting and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures. Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could result in increased costs, including restructuring charges, decreases in revenues and diversion of management's time and energy, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, achieving the anticipated benefits, including synergies and cost savings, is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether the business acquired can be operated in the manner we intend and whether our costs to finance the Kito Crosby Acquisition will be consistent with our expectations. Thus, the integration of Kito Crosby may be unpredictable, subject to delays or changed circumstances, and we can give no assurance that the acquired business will perform in accordance with our expectations or that our expectations with respect to integration, synergies or cost savings as a result of the Kito Crosby Acquisition will materialize. In addition, our anticipated costs to achieve the integration of Kito Crosby may differ significantly from our current estimates. The integration may place an additional burden on our management and internal resources, and the diversion of management's attention during the integration process could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and expected operating results.

***Kito Crosby's business may underperform relative to our expectations.*** 

We may not be able to maintain the levels of revenue, earnings or operating efficiency that Kito Crosby and we have achieved or might achieve separately. The business and financial performance of Kito Crosby are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the loss of, or changes to, its relationships with its customers. We may be unable to achieve the same growth, revenues and profitability that Kito Crosby has achieved in the past.

***The Divestiture is subject to various risks, uncertainties and conditions and may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, if at all.*** 

On January 13, 2026, we entered into the Divestiture Agreement to sell the Divestiture Business. The Divestiture Agreement provides that completion of the Divestiture is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance regarding the timing of the completion of the Divestiture or that the transaction will be completed. Unanticipated developments could delay, prevent or otherwise adversely affect the Divestiture, including, but not limited to, potential issues or delays in obtaining various third party consents or approvals. In addition, each party has the right to terminate the Divestiture Agreement relating to the Divestiture under specified circumstances, including if the closing of the transaction has not occurred on or before April 30, 2026.

**Risks Related Our Indebtedness**

***We have substantial indebtedness following the consummation of the Kito Crosby Acquisition, which could adversely affect our financial health, limit our ability to raise additional capital or obtain financing in the future and prevent us from making payments on our outstanding indebtedness.*** 

We have substantial indebtedness following the consummation of the Kito Acquisition and the related financing transactions. Our substantial indebtedness may have important consequences for us. For example, it may: make it more difficult for us to make payments on our indebtedness; increase our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions, including recessions and periods of significant inflation and financial market volatility; expose us to the risk of increased interest rates because any borrowings we make under certain of our indebtedness will bear interest at variable rates; require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other expenses; limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; increase our cost of future borrowing; place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less indebtedness or comparable debt at more favorable interest rates; limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness to finance future acquisitions; limit our ability to refinance indebtedness and increase the associated costs of our indebtedness; and limit our ability to borrow additional funds that may be needed to operate and expand our business. The agreements governing our indebtedness contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Those covenants include restrictions, among others, on our ability to incur more indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions in respect of capital stock, repurchase, prepay or redeem subordinated indebtedness, make investments, create restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to us or make other intercompany transfers, create liens, transfer or sell assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, enter into certain transactions with our affiliates and designate any subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our indebtedness.

------

***The agreements governing our indebtedness contain restrictive covenants that restrict our ability and the ability of most of our subsidiaries to engage in certain business and financial transactions, and, as a result, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.*** 

The agreements governing our indebtedness contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to (as applicable): incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions in respect of capital stock; repurchase, prepay or redeem the Notes and subordinated indebtedness; make investments; create liens and incur additional liens; transfer or sell assets; create restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to us or make other intercompany transfers; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; change the nature of our business; enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and designate any subsidiaries as an unrestricted subsidiary. The agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain leverage ratios and our ability to meet those ratios may be affected by events beyond our control, and we may be unable to meet them. We are required, and we expect, to make mandatory prepayments under the agreements governing our indebtedness upon the occurrence of certain events, including the sale of certain assets and the issuance of debt, in each case subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in such agreements. In addition, the AR Securitization Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the applicable borrowers with respect to liens, indebtedness, guarantees, mergers, dispositions of substantially all assets, dividends, redemption of stock, investments, corporate matters and changes in business conducted.
