Columbus McKinnon Corporation is a global leader in designing, manufacturing, and marketing intelligent motion solutions for material handling, specializing in products that efficiently and ergonomically move, lift, and secure materials in commercial and industrial applications.
Columbus McKinnon recently announced its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2025, highlighting both strong areas and challenges faced. The company reported net sales of $234.1 million, with an operating margin of 7.6%, or 10.9% on an adjusted basis.
Despite a 4% decrease in orders driven by a 6% decline in short-cycle orders, there was notable strength in precision conveyance and linear motion orders, increasing by 16% and 8% respectively. The company’s backlog remains strong at $296.5 million. However, the quarter was impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange movements and a slowdown in industry demand due to policy uncertainties in the U.S. and economic weaknesses in Europe. Columbus McKinnon managed to repay $15 million of debt in the quarter and anticipates a total repayment of $60 million for the fiscal year.
Looking ahead, Columbus McKinnon is taking a cautious approach, given the evolving policy environment and subdued demand in Europe. The company remains committed to its long-term strategic plan and operational execution, highlighted by its ongoing footprint simplification initiatives aimed at enhancing value delivery.
