AMHERST, N.Y., Jan. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products and services, today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2016 third quarter ended December 31, 2015. Fiscal year 2016 third quarter results include the Stahlhammer Bommern GmbH (“STB”) acquisition completed on December 30, 2014, and the Magnetek, Inc. ("Magnetek") acquisition completed on September 2, 2015.
Net sales ("sales") were $159.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with $140.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, an increase of $18.9 million, or 13.5%. Excluding the negative effects of foreign currency exchange, sales increased $26.3 million, or 18.8%, to $167.1 million. Magnetek and STB contributed sales of $29.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, to third quarter fiscal 2016 sales.
Timothy T. Tevens, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We believe the diversity of our key end markets and geographic sales has helped to mitigate the impact of a slowing global economy that is a result of plummeting oil prices, a strong dollar, rapid deceleration in China and weak global commodity demand. The economic challenges in the U.S. have resulted in a measurable decline in our U.S. hoist and rigging business. However, we did have bright spots in the quarter as our Magnetek acquisition is delivering solid performance, while volume in Europe also grew as that economy improves.”
Net income was $7.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with $7.9 million in the prior-year period, a decline of $0.6 million, or 8.1%. Third quarter adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $6.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared with $6.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Reduced adjusted net income was primarily the result of lower organic sales volume in the U.S. and the related under-absorption of fixed costs. Adjusted net income excludes Magnetek acquisition deal costs of $0.3 million and acquisition purchase accounting adjustments of $0.4 million for inventory step-up expense and $0.3 million for backlog amortization, all after tax, as well as an adjustment of $1.7 million to reflect a more normalized tax rate of 34%. Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP net income and earnings per share to adjusted net income and earnings per share.
U.S. sales, which comprised 64% of total sales, were $102.7 million, compared with $83.3 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $19.4 million, or 23.3%. Acquisitions contributed $26.1 million to U.S. sales and more than offset lower volume in the organic business, which was impacted by falling demand in the industrial sector.
Sales outside of the U.S. were $57.1 million, compared with $57.5 million in the prior-year period, a decline of $0.5 million, or 0.8%. Excluding the unfavorable FX impact of $7.4 million, sales were up $7.0 million, or 12.1%, to $64.5 million when compared with the prior-year period. Acquisitions, improved pricing and volume contributed to sales growth.
The fluctuation in sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2015 is summarized as follows:

As a percent of sales, selling expenses were down to 12.1%, compared with 12.4% in the same period last year.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $16.4 million, compared with $12.8 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $3.6 million, or 27.7%. Acquisitions added $2.5 million incremental G&A expenses and acquisition deal costs associated with the Magnetek acquisition were $0.4 million.

Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP income from operations to adjusted income from operations.
The effective tax rate in the quarter was 14.1%, compared with 23.1% in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate was lower primarily as a result of certain tax credits realized during the quarter. The credits created an income tax benefit of $1.2 million, which reduced the effective tax rate by 14 percentage points. The Company estimates that the effective tax rate for fiscal 2016 will be approximately 37% to 41%.

Cash and cash equivalents were $51.9 million at December 31, 2015. Total debt was $281.1 million, down from $299.3 million at September 30, 2015, reflecting $18.3 million of debt repayments during the quarter. Debt, net of cash, was $229.2 million, or 44.9% of net total capitalization.

These projects are scheduled for shipment beyond March 31, 2016 and compares with project backlog of $46.8 million, or 42.2% of total backlog, at September 30, 2015. Backlog is not necessarily a leading indicator of sales for the Company.
Mr. Tevens concluded, “The global industrial economy remains challenged even as Europe sees improvement. Specifically, U.S. markets have been hard hit as the dramatic decline in the oil & gas industry permeates other supporting industries. We believe we are in a strong position to face these headwinds given our ability to deliver solid profits and strong cash generation through industrial cycles. We are building upon our strong market positions in developed markets and deepening our reach into Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Latin America. In the face of these economic challenges, our focus remains on organic growth driven by product innovation, building our global market position and deftly executing our Lean processes to drive cost out of products and processes, while continuously improving quality and safety.”

Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit as reported, adjusted for certain items. Adjusted gross profit is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP and may not be comparable to the measure as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP information such as adjusted gross profit is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements, and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s gross profit to the historical period’s gross profit.

Adjusted net income and diluted EPS is defined as net income and diluted EPS as reported, adjusted for certain items and to apply a normalized tax rate. Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP and may not be comparable to the measure as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Columbus McKinnon believes that providing non-GAAP information such as adjusted diluted EPS is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements, and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s net income and diluted EPS to the historical period’s net income and diluted EPS.
