Columbus McKinnon's Q3 FY25 results showed a decline in net sales and profitability, primarily due to slowing industry demand, delayed customer decision-making, and unfavorable foreign currency movements. Despite these challenges, the company continued its debt repayment and footprint simplification initiatives.
Net sales decreased by 7.9% to $234.1 million, driven by lower volume and unfavorable foreign currency translation.
GAAP EPS was $0.14, a significant decrease from $0.34 in the prior year, impacted by unfavorable FX movements.
Adjusted EPS was $0.56, down 24.3% from $0.74 in the prior year.
The company repaid $15 million of debt in Q3 FY25 and anticipates a total of $60 million in debt repayment for FY25.
For fiscal year 2025, Columbus McKinnon anticipates a mid-single digit decrease in net sales, a low-teens decrease in Adjusted EPS, capital expenditures between $18 million and $22 million, and a Net Leverage Ratio of approximately 3.0x.
