Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026
- We believe this will transform Columbus McKinnon into a top-tier intelligent motion solutions company.
- We expect our strategy will enhance shareholder value by growing sales and expanding EBITDA margins.
- 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.
- We believe these initiatives will enhance future operating margins.
- For the current quarter, the rate was primarily impacted by an increase to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to interest expense carryforwards which the Company does not expect to be able to recognize.
- For the six months ended September 30, 2026, the rate was primarily impacted by an increase to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to interest expense carryforwards which the Company does not expect to be able to recognize.
- We may, however, seek additional financing to fund future growth or refinance our existing indebtedness through the debt capital markets, but we cannot be assured that such financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all.
- 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.
- We expect capital expenditure spending in fiscal 2027 to range from $45,000,000 to $55,000,000 inclusive of the Kito Crosby business.
- We are currently experiencing higher raw material costs as a result of tariffs, which we expect to recover with pricing actions.
- 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.
