COLUMBUS MCKINNON CORP

COMPENSATION ACTUALLY PAID TABLE

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between “compensation actually paid” to our Principal Executive Officer (PEO) and to our non-PEO NEOs and certain financial performance of the Company for the indicated fiscal years. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information concerning the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

(1)The PEOs and the Non-PEO NEOs for the indicated years were as follows:

(2)Amounts represent compensation actually paid to our PEOs and the average compensation actually paid to our non-PEO NEOs for the relevant fiscal year, as determined under SEC rules (and described below).

(3)For the relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative TSR (the “Peer Group TSR”) of the Dow Jones U.S. Diversified Industrials Index.

(4)In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is required to include in the Pay versus Performance table the “most important” financial performance measure (as determined by the Company) used to link compensation actually paid to our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs to Company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. The Company determined that Adjusted EBIT, which is a non-GAAP measure included in our incentive program, meets this requirement and therefore, we have included this performance measure in the Pay versus Performance table. Adjusted EBIT is defined as operating income as determined in accordance with GAAP adjusted for each of the adjustments used in the computation of Adjusted EBITDA other than depreciation and amortization expense,

Compensation actually paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs represents the “Total” compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year, adjusted as follows:

DAVID J. WILSON (FIRST PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER)

AVERAGE OF NON-PEO NEOs

In the determination of each PEO’s and each Non-PEO NEO’s compensation actually paid, fair value of equity awards was computed in accordance with the Company’s methodology used for financial reporting purposes.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The graphs below describe the relationship between the compensation actually paid to our PEOs and the average of the compensation actually paid to our Non-PEO NEOs and (i) our cumulative TSR, (ii) our net income and (iii) our Adjusted EBIT, in each case, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. In addition, the first graph below compares our cumulative TSR and peer group cumulative TSR for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.

TSR amounts reported in the graph assume an initial fixed investment of $100 and that all dividends, if any, were reinvested.

Pay Versus Performance

The graphs above demonstrate that over the measurement period, Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) for the PEO and Non-PEO NEOs generally trended directionally with the Company’s cumulative TSR, net income and Adjusted EBIT. During the time period, changes in CAP were largely attributable to the fluctuation in value of outstanding equity awards, which correlate with increases and decreases in stock price and cumulative TSR.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE TABULAR LIST

We believe the following performance measures represent the most important financial performance measures used by us to link compensation actually paid to our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The measures in this list are not ranked:

•Adjusted EBIT

•Adjusted Free Cash Flow

•Adjusted ROIC

Proposal 3

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Pursuant to its written charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed for Columbus McKinnon by Ernst & Young LLP, or any other auditing or accounting firm, subject tode minimis exceptions for non-audit services, which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to completion of the audit. During fiscal 2026, the Audit Committee approved all audit and non-audit services provided to Columbus McKinnon by Ernst & Young LLP. Our Audit Committee’s current practice is to consider for pre-approval annually all audit and non-audit services proposed to be provided by Ernst & Young LLP. In making its decision to appoint Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP is compatible with maintaining that firm's independence and has determined that such services are compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young’s independence.
