Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements

September 30, 2026

  1. Description of Business

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Columbus McKinnon Corporation ("Columbus McKinnon" or "the Company") at September 30, 2026, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, and cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, have been included. Results for the period ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. The balance sheet at March 31, 2026 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Columbus McKinnon Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on June 2, 2026 (the “2026 Form 10-K”).

  1. Acquisitions & Divestitures

Kito Crosby Acquisition

On February 3, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of and acquired 100% of the equity interest of Kito Crosby Limited ("Kito Crosby") from funds associated with the global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (“KKR”) in an all-cash transaction valued at $2,821,907,000 (the “Kito Crosby Acquisition”). The value of the Kito Crosby Acquisition increased by $10,000,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2026 due to a final working capital adjustment as contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement. The working capital adjustment was paid subsequent to September 30, 2026 and is therefore recorded as an accrued liability on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2026.

Kito Crosby is a global leader in lifting solutions with multiple manufacturing assembly plants and more than 4,000 employees serving over 50 countries. The Kito Crosby Acquisition expands the Company’s scale in material handling solutions and strengthens its presence in attractive verticals and target geographies.

The results of Kito Crosby included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are Net sales of $300,204,000 and $604,968,000 and Income (loss) from operations of $29,868,000 and $21,944,000, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 respectively. Kito Crosby’s Income (loss) from operations for the periods include acquisition-related inventory amortization of $7,445,000 and $62,643,000, which has been included in Cost of products sold for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. Additionally, Kito Crosby’s Income (loss) from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2026, includes integration costs of $2,726,000, of which $1,766,000 has been recorded in Cost of products sold, $549,000 in Selling expenses, and $411,000 in General and administrative expenses.

Including the costs above, the Company incurred total acquisition integration and deal expenses in the amount of $12,465,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, of which $1,395,000 has been recorded in Cost of products sold, $384,000 in Selling expenses, $10,171,000 in General and administrative expenses and $515,000 in Research and development expenses. The Company incurred acquisition integration and deal expenses in the amount of $30,261,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2026, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, of which $2,465,000 has been recorded in Cost of products sold, $1,931,000 in Selling expenses, $25,291,000 in General and administrative expenses and $574,000 in Research and development expenses.

The Company funded the Kito Crosby Acquisition through borrowings of $900,000,000 in senior secured bonds, $1,650,000,000 in financing from a Term Loan B, and $800,000,000 of proceeds from the sale of Series A Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Shares of the Company, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Shares”) to CD&R XII Keystone Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “CD&R Investor”). Additionally, the Company refinanced its prior revolving credit facility increasing the maximum principal amount available to be borrowed to $500,000,000. Refer to Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company's debt. Terms of the Preferred Shares include a 7% coupon, payable in cash or payment-in-kind at the Company’s option, and a conversion price of $37.68, resulting in the CD&R Investor's as-converted ownership of approximately 43% of the Company following completion of the transaction. The CD&R Investor has agreed to a customary lock-up on its Preferred Shares.

The Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, "Business Combinations", and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date of acquisition with the excess of consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. The purchase price for the Kito Crosby Acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. In determining the fair value of amounts related to the Kito Crosby Acquisition, the Company utilized various forms of the income, cost and market approaches depending on the asset or liability being valued. The estimation of fair value required judgment related to projected revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, discount rates, customer attrition rates, market comparisons and other factors. The Company is in the process of evaluating the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Kito Crosby Acquisition, including the valuation of identifiable intangible assets, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, tangible assets acquired, right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities, asbestos and product liability obligations, and income taxes.

The Company has estimated the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on information currently available and will continue to adjust all of those estimates as additional information pertaining to events or circumstances present at the acquisition date becomes available during the measurement period. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation resulting in a decrease to Goodwill of $13,941,000 from the amount preliminarily allocated to goodwill as of June 30, 2026. The details of this change to the value assigned to the fair value of Kito Crosby assets and liabilities is below (in thousands):

Working capital$4,280
Property, plant, and equipment139,493
Other intangibles(95,800)
Other assets(7,826)
Other non current liabilities(16,206)
Final working capital adjustment(10,000)
Decrease to goodwill$13,941

The above is in addition to an increase in goodwill at June 30, 2026 of $2,654,000 related to the valuation of additional right of use lease assets and identification of other tangible assets.

The increase in the fair value assigned to Kito Crosby's Property, plant, and equipment of $139,493,000 was the result of the Company's continued progress in assessing the fair value of acquired property, plant and equipment. The decrease in value assigned to Other intangibles of $95,800,000 related to a decrease in the value assigned to channel partner relationships. The change in Other non-current liabilities of $16,206,000 relates to the recording of deferred tax liabilities on Kito Crosby's intangibles changes. The Company has continued to align lease accounting policies resulting in a decrease of $7,826,000 in Other assets. The increase in working capital of $4,280,000 primarily related to an increase in the value assigned to inventories on the opening balance sheet.

The preliminary assignment of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):

Cash$184,307
Working capital356,531
Property, plant, and equipment469,112
Other intangibles1,194,200
Other assets77,936
Other non current liabilities(380,766)
Goodwill920,587
Total$2,821,907

The excess consideration of $920,587,000 has been preliminarily recorded as goodwill for the Kito Crosby reporting unit. The identifiable intangible assets acquired include customer relationships of $1,074,900,000, of which $1,010,800,000 relates to channel partner relationships, and trade names of $119,300,000. The weighted average life of the acquired identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization was estimated at 12.8 years at the time of acquisition. Goodwill generated as a result of the Kito Crosby Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Divestiture of U.S. Power Chain Hoist and Chain Manufacturing Operations

On March 4, 2026, the Company completed the divestiture of its U.S. power chain hoist and chain manufacturing operations based out of facilities located in Damascus, Virginia and Lexington, Tennessee and certain other assets (the “Divestiture Business”) to Star Hoist Intermediate, LLC (“Star Hoist”) (the “Divestiture”).

The disposal group primarily included major classes of assets and liabilities, including property, plant and equipment, inventories, and related liabilities. The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities were $35,211,000 and $5,792,000, respectively, excluding an allocation of $51,252,000 of Rest of Products reporting unit goodwill to the Divestiture Business, and such assets and liabilities were derecognized upon closing and through subsequent adjustments.

The Company recorded additional Divestiture related expenses of $709,000 and $1,275,000 in the three and six months ended September 30, 2026.

  1. Revenue & Receivables

Revenue Recognition:

Performance obligations

The Company has contracts with customers for standard products and custom engineered products and determines when and how to recognize revenue for each performance obligation based on the nature and type of contract.

Revenue from contracts with customers for standard products is recognized when control transfers to the customer, which generally occurs at shipment when legal title and significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. This is the point in time when control is deemed to transfer to the customer. The Company sells standard products to customers utilizing purchase orders. Payment terms for these types of contracts generally require payment within 30 to 60 days. Each standard product is deemed to be a single performance obligation and the amount of revenue recognized is based on the negotiated price. The transaction price for standard products is based on the price reflected in each purchase order. Sales incentives are offered to customers who purchase standard products and include offers such as volume-based discounts, rebates for priority customers, and discounts for early cash payments. These sales incentives are accounted for as variable consideration included in the transaction price. Accordingly, the Company reduces revenue for these incentives in the period which the sale occurs and is based on the most likely amount method for estimating the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive. These sales incentive estimates are updated each reporting period as additional information becomes available.

The Company also sells custom engineered products and services, which are contracts that are typically completed within one quarter but can extend beyondone year in duration. For custom engineered products, the transaction price is based upon the price stated in the contract. Variable consideration has not been identified as a significant component of transaction price for custom engineered products and services. The Company generally recognizes revenue for custom engineered products upon satisfaction of its performance obligation under the contract which typically coincides with project completion which is when the products and services are controlled by the customer. Control is typically achieved at the later of when legal title and significant risk and rewards have transferred to the customer or customer acceptance of the asset. These contracts often require either up front or installment payments. These types of contracts are generally accounted for as one performance obligation as the products and services are not separately identifiable. The promised services (such as inspection, commissioning, and installation) are essential in order for the delivered product to operate as intended on the customer’s site and the services are therefore highly interrelated with product functionality.

For most custom engineered products contracts, the Company determined that there is no alternative use for the custom engineered products and the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment (which must include a reasonable profit margin) for performance completed to date in order to meet the over time revenue recognition criteria. Therefore, revenue is recognized at a point in time (when the contract is complete). For custom engineered products contracts that contain an enforceable right to payment (including reasonable profit margin) the Company satisfies the performance obligation over time and recognizes revenue based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The cost-to-cost measure of progress is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of work performed and transfer of control to the customers. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recognized proportionally as costs are incurred.

Sales and other taxes collected with revenue are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred prior to shipment are considered activities required to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer goods, and do not qualify as a separate performance obligation. Additionally, the Company offers standard warranties which are typically 12 months in duration for standard products and 24 to 36 months for custom engineered products. These types of warranties are included in the purchase price of the product and are deemed to be assurance-type warranties which are not accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Other performance obligations included in a contract (such as drawings, owner’s manuals, and training services) are immaterial in the context of the contract and are not recognized as a separate performance obligation.

For additional information on the Company’s revenue recognition policy refer to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2026 Form 10-K.

Contract Liabilities

The Company records a contract liability when cash is received prior to recording revenue. Some standard contracts require a down payment while most custom engineered contracts require installment payments. Installment payments for the custom engineered contracts typically require a portion due at inception while the remaining payments are due upon completion of certain performance milestones. For both types of contracts, these contract liabilities, referred to as customer advances, are recorded at the time payment is received and are included in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the related performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized, the contract liability is recognized as revenue.

The following table illustrates the balance and related activity for customer advances in the six months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

September 30, 2026September 30, 2025
March 31, beginning balance$25,049$15,631
Additional customer advances received35,33740,497

Other revenue recognized from customer advances(13,927)(22,934)
Other (1)(391)860
September 30, ending balance$21,019$18,423

(1) Other includes the impact of foreign currency translation

Revenue was recognized prior to the right to invoice the customer which resulted in a contract asset balance in the amount of $20,450,000 and $20,480,000 as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. Contract assets are included in Prepaid expenses and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was approximately $26,954,000. We expect to recognize approximately 60% of this amount to Net sales over the next twelve months, and we expect to recognize substantially all of the remaining amount to Net sales in the next 24 months.

Disaggregated revenue

In accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", the Company is required to disaggregate revenue into categories that depict how economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows.

The following table illustrates the disaggregation of revenue by product grouping (in thousands):

Three Months EndedSix Months Ended
September 30, 2026September 30, 2025September 30, 2026September 30, 2025
Industrial Products$341,646$86,150$686,308$169,352

All other(79)13(108)38
Total$539,285$261,047$1,070,746$496,967

Industrial products include: manual chain hoists, electrical chain hoists, rigging/clamps, industrial winches, hooks, shackles, and other forged attachments. Crane solutions products include: wire rope hoists, drives and controls, crane kits and components, and workstations. Engineered products include: linear and mechanical actuators, lifting tables, rail projects, and actuation systems. Precision conveyor products include: low profile, flexible chain, large scale, sanitary and vertical elevation conveyor systems, pallet system conveyors, accumulation systems, asynchronous conveyors as well as other high-precision conveyance systems. The All other product grouping includes miscellaneous revenue and other adjustments.

Practical expedients

Incremental costs to obtain a contract incurred by the Company primarily relate to sales commissions for contracts with a duration of one year or less. Therefore, these costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded in Selling expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an expected length of one year or less are not disclosed. Further, revenue from contracts with customers does not include a significant financing component as payment is generally expected within one year from when the performance obligation is controlled by the customer.

Trade Accounts Receivable:

In accordance with ASC 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses", the Company is required to remeasure expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. In addition to these factors, the Company establishes an allowance for credit losses based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other factors. Trade accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for credit losses once all collection efforts have been exhausted. Due to the short-term nature of such accounts receivable, the estimated amount of trade accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the trade accounts receivable balances.

The following table illustrates the balance and related activity for the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from trade accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected as of (in thousands):

September 30, 2026September 30, 2025
March 31, beginning balance$7,200$4,880
Credit loss expense2,644994
Less uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries(460)(1,539)
Other (1)953231
September 30, ending balance$10,337$4,566

(1) Other includes a reclassification of other accounts receivable reserves to the allowance for credit losses during the period. Additionally, this balance includes the impact of foreign currency translation.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes the standards for reporting financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). Under these standards, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the valuation techniques that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is separated into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, involving some degree of judgment.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of asset/liability, whether the asset/liability is established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, assumptions are required to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company uses quoted market prices when valuing its marketable securities and, consequently, the fair value is based on Level 1 inputs. These marketable securities consist of marketable equity and fixed income securities. The Company's terminated pension assets consist of money market funds, domestic corporate bonds, securities issued by the U.S. government, and other similar fixed income investments with quoted market prices. Consequently, the fair value of the terminated pension assets is based on Level 1 inputs. Refer to Note 10 for additional information regarding the Company's terminated pension plan. The Company primarily uses readily observable market data in conjunction with internally developed discounted cash flow valuation models when valuing its derivative portfolio and, consequently, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives is based on Level 2 inputs. The carrying amount of the Company's pension-related annuity contract is recorded at net asset value of the contract and, consequently, its fair value is based on Level 2 inputs and is included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of the 2026 Term Loan B, Senior Secured notes, and AR Securitization approximates fair value based on current market interest rates for debt instruments of similar credit standing and, consequently, their fair values are based on Level 2 inputs.

The Company does not have any non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has a credit agreement secured by the Company's U.S. accounts receivable balances (the "AR Securitization Facility"). Refer to Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company's debt.

Market gains, interest, and dividend income on marketable securities are recorded in Investment (income) loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in foreign currency exchange (gain) loss or other comprehensive income (loss), to the extent that the derivative qualifies as a hedge under the provisions of ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". Interest and dividend income on marketable securities are measured based upon amounts earned on their respective declaration dates.

As described in Note 2, the Company has updated its allocation of assets and liabilities acquired in the Kito Crosby Acquisition. This revised allocation included updating the estimated fair values of these assets and liabilities. The estimated fair values allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed relied upon fair value measurements based primarily on Level 3 inputs. The valuation techniques used to allocate fair values to working capital items; property, plant, and equipment, and other intangibles included the cost approach, market approach, and other income approaches. For identifiable intangible assets these techniques included the multi-period excess earnings approach, the relief from royalty approach, and other income approaches. The valuation techniques relied on a number of inputs which included the cost and condition of property, plant, and equipment and forecasted net sales and income.

Significant valuation inputs included an attrition rate of 5.0% for customer relationships, an estimated weighted average royalty rate of 1.9% for trademark and trade names, and a weighted average cost of capital of 14.0%. There were no changes to these key inputs since the Fiscal 2026 valuation. Refer to the 2026 Form 10-K for a full description of the assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis that are included in the Company's March 31, 2026 balance sheet.

  1. Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following as of (in thousands):

September 30, 2026March 31, 2026
At cost - FIFO basis:
Raw materials$275,596$283,228
Work-in-process92,34294,015
Finished goods219,663255,592
Total at cost FIFO basis587,601632,835
LIFO cost less than FIFO cost(20,052)(23,805)
Net inventories$567,549$609,030

A valuation of inventories under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many factors beyond management's control, estimated interim results are subject to change in the year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Included in the reduction in inventories in the three months ended September 30, 2026 is $7,445,000 and six months ended September 30, 2026 is $62,643,000 of acquisition-related inventory step up amortization.

  1. Marketable Securities and Other Investments

In accordance with ASC 825-10, “Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) are measured at fair value through earnings. The Company's marketable securities are recorded at their fair value, with unrealized changes in market value realized within Investment (income) loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact on earnings for unrealized gains and losses was a loss of $680,000 and a gain of $133,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively, and a loss of $311,000 and a gain of $331,000 in the six months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

Consistent with prior periods, the estimated fair value is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet dates. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividend income are included in Investment (income) loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Marketable securities are carried as long-term assets since they are held for the settlement of the Company’s general and product liability insurance claims filed through CM Insurance Company, Inc. ("CMIC"), the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. The marketable securities are not available for general working capital purposes.

Net realized gains related to sales of marketable securities were $191,000 and $263,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026. Net realized gains and loss werenot material in the three and six months ended September 30, 2025.

  1. Goodwill and Other Intangibles, net

Goodwill and indefinite lived trademarks are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. The Company’s reporting units are determined based upon whether discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly, whether those reporting units constitute a business, and the extent of economic similarities between those reporting units for purposes of aggregation. The Company’s reporting units identified under ASC 350 "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other" are at the component level, or one level below the operating segment level as defined under ASC 280 “Segment Reporting - Disclosure.” The Company hasfour reporting units as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. The Linear Motion Products reporting unit (which designs, manufactures and sources mechanical and electromechanical actuators and rotary unions) had goodwill of $9,699,000 at September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. The Rest of Products reporting unit (representing the hoist, chain, forgings, digital power, motion control, manufacturing, and distribution businesses) had goodwill of $262,135,000 and $265,708,000 at September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The Precision Conveyance reporting unit (which represents high-precision conveying systems) had goodwill of $201,354,000 and $201,359,000 at September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The Kito Crosby reporting unit had goodwill of $904,938,000 and $931,874,000 at September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

Refer to the 2026 Form 10-K for information regarding our annual goodwill and indefinite lived trademark impairment evaluation. Future impairment indicators, such as declines in forecasted cash flows, may cause impairment charges. Impairment charges could be based on such factors as the Company’s stock price, forecasted cash flows, assumptions used, control premiums or other variables. There were no such indicators during the three and six months ended September 30, 2026.

  1. Derivative Instruments

Our primary market risk exposures include interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and commodity pricing risk. We have enterprise-wide risk management policies and limits, approved by our Board of Directors, which govern our market risk management activities. Our objective is to manage our exposure to market risk in accordance with these policies and limits based on prevailing market conditions and long-term expectations.

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage selected foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. All derivative instruments must be recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss), or “AOCL,” and is reclassified to earnings when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward agreements is reported in foreign currency exchange loss (gain) in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is reported in interest expense. For derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, all changes in market value are recorded as a foreign currency exchange (gain) loss in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash flow effects of derivatives are reported within net cash provided by operating activities.

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties on its financial instruments. The counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. The Company anticipates that these counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.

The Company's agreements with its counterparties contain provisions pursuant to which the Company could be declared in default of its derivative obligations. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of September 30, 2026, it could have been required to settle its obligations under these agreements at amounts that approximate the September 30, 2026 fair values reflected in the table below. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2026, the Company was not in default of any of its derivative obligations.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had no derivatives designated as net investments or fair value hedges in accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging."

The Company has a cross currency swap agreement that is designated as a cash flow hedge to hedge changes in the value of an intercompany loan to a foreign subsidiary due to changes in foreign exchange rates. This intercompany loan is related to the acquisition of STAHL. As of September 30, 2026, the notional amount of this derivative is $39,235,000, and this contract matures on June 30, 2028. From its September 30, 2026 balance of AOCL, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $909,000 out of AOCL, and into foreign currency exchange (gain) loss, during the next 12 months based on the contractual payments due under this intercompany loan.

The Company has foreign currency forward agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges to hedge a portion of forecasted inventory purchases denominated in foreign currencies. The cash flow effects of derivatives are reported within net cash provided by financing activities. As of September 30, 2026, the notional amount of those derivatives was $7,183,000, and all contracts mature by September 30, 2027. From its September 30, 2026 balance of AOCL, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $19,000 out of AOCL during the next 12 months based on the expected payments for the goods purchased.

The Company's interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges to hedge changes in interest expense due to changes in the interest rate of the Company's variable interest rate debt. The Company haseleven outstanding interest rate swap agreements in which the Company receives interest at a variable rate and pays interest at a fixed rate. The interest rate swaps have varying maturity dates between March 31, 2027 and March 31, 2031, with an aggregate notional amount of $965,000,000 as of September 30, 2026.

The effective portion of the changes in fair values of the interest rate swap agreements is reported in AOCL and will be reclassified to interest and debt expense over the life of the interest rate swap agreements. From its September 30, 2026 balance of AOCL, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $5,299,000 of AOCL into interest and debt expense during the next 12 months.

Total debt and finance lease less current portion$2,262,308$2,226,589

The Company’s debt consists of borrowing with an original contractual maturity greater than one year, including its 2026 Term Loan B, Senior Secured Notes, AR Securitization Facility, and 2026 Revolving Credit Facility.

In connection with the closing of the Kito Crosby Acquisition, the Company entered into a new senior secured term loan credit facility (“2026 Term Loan B”) and a new revolving credit facility with an expanded bank lender group (“2026 Revolving Credit Facility”) and issued 7.125% senior secured notes due 2033 (“Senior Secured Notes”). The 2026 Term Loan B, 2026 Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Secured Notes also replaced the Company’s previous term loan credit facility (“2024 Term Loan B”) and revolving credit facility (“2024 Revolving Credit Facility”) and proceeds from the new credit facilities were used to fund the Kito Crosby Acquisition and fully repay the 2024 Term Loan B. There was no balance on the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility at the time of replacement by the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility.

On September 21, 2026, the Company, Columbus McKinnon EMEA GmbH and certain subsidiary guarantors of the Company entered into its First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility Credit Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2026. The First Amendment reduced the applicable interest rate margin on the Term Loan B and 2026 Revolving Credit Facility by 50 basis points. Following the amendment, borrowings under the Term Loan B bear interest at Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 3.00%. All other material provisions, including maturity dates, remained unchanged. The Company evaluated the First Amendment and concluded the transaction should be accounted for primarily as a debt modification. The Company incurred $1,056,000 of costs associated with the debt modification including fees paid to third parties after the First Amendment went into effect.

The Company plans to pay down approximately $150,000,000 in borrowings in the next 12 month period. This amount has been recorded within the current portion of long-term debt on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2026 with the remaining balance recorded as long-term debt.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Secured Notes. The Company was in compliance with covenants under the AR Securitization Facility after receiving a waiver of the Delinquency and Default Ratios from the lender effective September 30, 2026. The AR Securitization Facility was further amended on October 29, 2026 to change the Delinquency and Default Ratios going forward. Accordingly, the amounts outstanding continue to be classified as long-term debt as of September 30, 2026.

Senior Secured Notes

On January 30, 2026, the Company completed an offering of $900,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.125% senior secured notes maturing February 1, 2033 in a private placement. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.125% per year payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The first such interest payment was made on August 1, 2026.

Gross deferred debt issuance costs related to the Senior Secured Notes were $13,973,000 as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. The accumulated amortization balances were $1,331,000 and $333,000 as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

New 2026 Term Loan B

On February 3, 2026, Columbus McKinnon Corporation (the “Borrower”) entered into a new credit agreement for a senior secured term loan credit facility or 2026 Term Loan B, in the initial amount of $1,650,000,000 maturing February 3, 2033, and a $500,000,000 2026 Revolving Credit Facility with a group of financial institutions or Revolving Credit Facility maturing February 3, 2031 (“2026 Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and the lenders named therein. The 2026 Term Loan B replaced the Company’s 2024 Term Loan B. Proceeds of the 2026 Term Loan B were used to complete the Kito Crosby Acquisition as well as fully repay the Company’s 2024 Term Loan B.

On March 4, 2026, the Company repaid $191,080,000 of the 2026 Term Loan B using the proceeds of the divestiture of the Company’s U.S. Power Chain Hoist and Chain Operations (See Note 2). The Company also received credit for a pro rata proportion of the Original Issuer Discount paid to the 2026 Term Loan B lenders in an amount of $1,900,000 resulting in an aggregate $193,010,000 reduction in the balance of the 2026 Term Loan B after completion of the Divestiture per the terms of the 2026 Credit Agreement.

As outlined in the 2026 Credit Agreement, prepayments can be made without penalty after August 3, 2026. On September 21, 2026, the Company entered into the First Amendment reducing the Company's applicable interest rate margin by 50 basis points. Following the effectiveness of the First Amendment, the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at rates determined on the basis of either a term SOFR or a base rate plus an applicable margin. In the case of term SOFR loans under the 2026 Term Loan B Facility, such margin is 3.00% and in the case of dollar denominated term SOFR loans under the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility, such margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.75% based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2026 Credit Agreement).

At September 30, 2026, the outstanding principal balance of the 2026 Term Loan B was $1,449,233,000 or $1,406,577,000 net of $42,656,000 of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the contractual term to interest expense. The accumulated amortization balance was $4,462,000 as of September 30, 2026.

The Company made $3,632,000 in principal payments on the 2026 Term Loan B during the three months ended September 30, 2026. The Company is obligated to make $14,529,000 of principal payments on the 2026 Term Loan B facility over the next 12 months plus applicable Excess Cash Flow ("ECF") payments. The expected debt repayment on the Company's 2026 Term Loan B in the next 12 month period is included in the approximately $150,000,000 in debt repayment previously referenced herein.

The gross balance of deferred financing costs on the 2026 Term Loan B facility was $47,118,000 as of September 30, 2026 and $46,839,000 as of March 31, 2026. The increase in the gross balance corresponds to additional fees incurred to lenders in for the First Amendment of $279,000. The accumulated amortization balance was $4,462,000 and $1,161,000 as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

The 2026 Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previous revolving credit facility, the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates based upon indices determined by the currency of the borrowing or at an alternative base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. On September 21, 2026, the Company entered into the First Amendment. Following the First Amendment, the 2026 Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at rates determined on the basis of either a term SOFR or a base rate plus an applicable margin. For U.S. Dollar borrowings, these borrowings bear interest at applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% based on Company's Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as defined in the 2026 Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2026, there was $59,644,000 of borrowings outstanding under the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility on a US Dollar equivalent basis, including $38,461,000 borrowings outstanding in US Dollars and €18,700,000 borrowings outstanding in Euros. Availability under the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility was $421,080,000 net of $19,276,000 outstanding standby letters of credit issued against the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility and the borrowings outstanding.

Gross deferred debt issuance costs related to the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility were $7,038,000 as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, which is included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Since June 20, 2023, the Company used an AR Securitization Facility secured by the Company’s U.S. accounts receivable balances (the “AR Securitization Facility”) for general business purposes, including seasonal net working capital needs. On August 11, 2025, the AR Securitization Facility was amended to increase the maximum principal amount to $60,000,000 from the original borrowing base of $55,000,000, subject to a borrowing base calculation pursuant to the definitions and methodology outlined in the related credit agreement, eliminated the 10 basis point credit spread adjustment to the cost of borrowing, and extending its term through August 11, 2028. The AR Securitization Facility borrowings bear interest at a floating rate equal to a one-month SOFR rate plus a 110 basis points applicable margin.

The Company had $42,588,000 and $53,400,000 outstanding under its AR Securitization Facility as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The total U.S. accounts receivable balances which secure the AR Securitization Facility total $93,652,000 as of September 30, 2026.

Stock options, restricted stock units, performance shares with respect to 3,582,000 common shares and Preferred Shares convertible to 22,225,000 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they were antidilutive as a result of the Company's net loss. Refer to Note 2 for additional information regarding the transactions resulting in the net loss.

Stock options, restricted stock units, and performance shares with respect to 1,621,000 and 1,569,000 common shares for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because they were antidilutive. Further, contingently issuable common shares of 381,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 were excluded because a performance condition had not yet been met.

The Company grants share based compensation to eligible participants under the Columbus McKinnon Corporation Second Amended and Restated 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended ("2016 LTIP"). The total number of shares of common stock with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2016 LTIP had been previously been increased to an aggregate of 5,300,000 shares. In fiscal 2027, an amendment to the 2016 LTIP was approved to further increase the number of shares with respect to which awards may be granted by an additional 1,450,000 shares.

During the first six months of fiscal 2027, there were 12,000 shares of stock issued upon the exercise of stock options that were issued under the Company’s 2016 LTIP. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026,135,000 shares of restricted stock units vested and were issued.

In Fiscal 2026, the Company completed the sale of 800,000 Series A Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of the Company to CD&R XII Keystone Holdings, L.P. (the “CD&R Investor”) at a purchase price of $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $800,000,000 (the “Preferred Equity Financing”). Terms of the Preferred Shares include a 7% coupon, payable in cash or payment-in-kind at Columbus McKinnon’s option, and an initial conversion price for conversion of Preferred Shares into the Company's voting common shares of $37.68, resulting in the CD&R Investor's as-converted ownership of approximately 43% of the Company's outstanding equity following completion of the Kito Crosby Acquisition. The CD&R Investor has agreed to a customary lock-up on its Preferred Shares. The Company determined the Preferred Shares meet the qualification to be accounted for as an equity instrument. As such, the proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Shares were recorded in equity net of fees incurred to issue the shares. Through September 30, 2026, stock dividends-in-kind were recorded increasing the conversion value of the Preferred Shares by $28,558,000.

On October 26, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.07 per common share. The dividend will be paid on November 16, 2026 to shareholders of record on November 6, 2026. The dividend payment is expected to be approximately $2,030,000.

  1. Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is named a defendant in legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business. The Company does not believe that any of its pending litigation will have a material impact on its business.

Accrued general and product liability costs are actuarially estimated reserves based on amounts determined from loss reports, individual cases filed with the Company, and an amount for losses incurred but not reported. The aggregate amounts of reserves were $31,874,000 (gross of estimated insurance recoveries of $19,735,000) as of September 30, 2026, of which $27,474,000 is included in Other non-current liabilities and $4,400,000 in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liability for accrued general and product liability costs are funded by investments in marketable securities (refer to Note 6).

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for accrued general and product liability (in thousands):

September 30, 2026March 31, 2026
Accrued general and product liability, beginning of period$33,196$19,446

Estimated future insurance recoveries(19,735)(19,959)
Net accrued general and product liability, end of period$12,139$13,237

The per occurrence limits on the self-insurance for general and product liability coverage to Columbus McKinnon through CMIC, its wholly-owned captive insurance company were $2,000,000 from inception through fiscal 2003 and $3,000,000 for fiscal 2004 and thereafter. In addition to the per occurrence limits, the Company’s coverage is also subject to an annual aggregate limit, applicable to losses only. These limits range from $2,000,000 to $6,000,000 for each policy year from inception through fiscal 2027. The Company also purchases excess general and product liability insurance up to an aggregate $75,000,000 limit. In fiscal 2026, the aggregate limit was increased to $100,000,000.

Legacy Columbus McKinnon Corporation

Asbestos

Like many industrial manufacturers, the Company is involved in asbestos-related litigation. In continually evaluating costs relating to its estimated asbestos-related liability, the Company reviews, among other things, the incidence of past and recent claims, the historical case dismissal rate, the mix of the claimed illnesses and occupations of the plaintiffs, its recent and historical resolution of the cases, the number of cases pending against it, the status and results of broad-based settlement discussions, and the number of years such activity might continue. Based on this review, the Company has estimated its share of liability to defend and resolve probable asbestos-related personal injury claims. This estimate is highly uncertain due to the limitations of the available data and the difficulty of forecasting with any certainty the numerous variables that can affect the range of the liability. The Company will continue to study the variables in light of additional information in order to identify trends that may become evident and to assess their impact on the range of liability that is probable and estimable.

Based on actuarial information from fiscal 2026, the Company has estimated its net asbestos-related aggregate liability including related legal costs to range between $3,600,000 and $6,500,000, net of insurance recoveries, using actuarial parameters of continued claims for a period of 38 years from September 30, 2026. The Company has estimated its asbestos-related aggregate liability that is probable and estimable, net of insurance recoveries, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles approximates $4,924,000. The Company has reflected the liability gross of insurance recoveries of $5,821,000 as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2026. The recorded liability does not consider the impact of any potential favorable federal legislation. This liability will fluctuate based on the uncertainty in the number of future claims that will be filed and the cost to resolve those claims, which may be influenced by a number of factors, including the outcome of the ongoing broad-based settlement negotiations, defensive strategies, and the cost to resolve claims outside the broad-based settlement program. Of this amount, management expects to incur asbestos liability payments of approximately $1,800,000 over the next 12 months. Because payment of the liability is likely to extend over many years, management believes that the potential additional costs for claims will not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company or its liquidity, although the effect of any future liabilities recorded could be material to earnings in a future period.

A share of the Company’s previously incurred asbestos-related expenses and future asbestos-related expenses are covered by pre-existing insurance policies. The Company had been engaged in a legal action against the insurance carriers for those policies to recover past expenses and future costs incurred. The Company came to an agreement with the insurance carriers to settle its case against them for recovery of a portion of past costs and future costs for asbestos-related legal defense costs. The agreement was finalized during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The terms of the settlement require the carriers to pay gross defense costs prior to retro-premiums of 65% for future asbestos-related defense costs subject to an annual cap of $1,650,000 for claims covered by the settlements.

Further, the insurance carriers are expected to cover 100% of indemnity costs related to all covered cases. Estimates of the future cost sharing have been included in the loss reserve calculation as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. The Company has recorded a receivable for the estimated future cost sharing in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2026 in the amount of $5,821,000, which offsets its asbestos reserves.

One of the Company's subsidiaries, Magnetek, Inc. ("Magnetek") has been named, along with multiple other defendants, in asbestos-related lawsuits associated with business operations previously acquired but which are no longer owned. During Magnetek's ownership, none of the businesses produced or sold asbestos-containing products. For such claims, Magnetek is uninsured and either contractually indemnified against liability, or contractually obligated to defend and indemnify the purchaser of these former business operations. The Company aggressively seeks dismissal from these proceedings. The asbestos-related liability including legal costs is estimated to be $1,421,000 which has been reflected as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2026.

Product Liability

The Company is also involved in other unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The most prevalent of these unresolved actions involve disputes related to product design, manufacture and performance liability. The Company's estimation of its product-related aggregate liability that is probable and estimable, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles approximates $5,492,000, which has been reflected as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2026. In some cases, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter.

In April of 2024, a trial involving a product liability claim against the Company resulted in a jury verdict demanding the Company to pay approximately $3,000,000 in damages. The Company appealed the jury verdict and won the appeal in April 2026 remanding to the circuit court with direction to dismiss the complaint against the Company. As such, the Company has no liability recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2026.

Management believes that the potential additional costs for claims will not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company or its liquidity, although the effect of any future liabilities recorded could be material to earnings in a future period.

Litigation-Other

In October 2010, Magnetek received a request for indemnification from Power-One, Inc. ("Power-One") for an Italian tax matter arising out of the sale of Magnetek's power electronics business to Power-One in October 2006. With a reservation of rights, Magnetek affirmed its obligation to indemnify Power-One for certain pre-closing taxes. The sale included an Italian company, Magnetek, S.p.A., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Magnetek Electronics (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. (the “Power-One China Subsidiary”). The tax authority in Arezzo, Italy, issued a notice of audit report in September 2010 wherein it asserted that the Power-One China Subsidiary had its administrative headquarters in Italy and, therefore, it should be considered resident in Italy and subject to taxation in Italy. In November 2010, the tax authority issued a notice of tax assessment for the period of July 2003 to June 2004, alleging that taxes of approximately $2,200,000 (Euro 1,900,000), plus interest, were due in Italy on taxable income earned by the Power-One China Subsidiary during this period. In addition, the assessment alleges potential penalties in the amount of approximately $2,500,000 (Euro 2,200,000) for the alleged failure of the Power-One China

Subsidiary to file its Italian tax return. The Power-One China Subsidiary filed its response with the provincial tax commission of Arezzo, Italy in January 2011. A hearing before the Tax Court was held in July 2012 on the tax assessment for the period of July 2003 to June 2004. In September 2012, the Tax Court ruled in favor of the Power-One China Subsidiary dismissing the tax assessment for the period of July 2003 to June 2004. In February 2013, the tax authority filed an appeal of the Tax Court's September 2012 ruling. The Regional Tax Commission of Florence heard the appeal of the tax assessment dismissal for the period of July 2003 to June 2004 and thereafter issued its ruling finding in favor of the tax authority. Magnetek believed the court’s decision was based upon erroneous interpretations of the applicable law and appealed the ruling to the Italian Supreme Court in April 2015. In April 2022, the Supreme Court upheld the appeal in favor of Power-One.

The tax authority in Arezzo, Italy also issued a tax inspection report in January 2011 for the periods July 2002 to June 2003 (fiscal period 2002/2003) and July 2004 to December 2006 (fiscal periods 2004/2005 and 2005/2006) claiming that the Power-One China Subsidiary failed to file Italian tax returns for the reported periods. In August 2012, the tax authority in Arezzo, Italy issued four notices of tax assessment for the periods July 2002 to June 2003 and July 2004 to December 2006, alleging that taxes of approximately $7,600,000 (Euro 6,700,000) were due in Italy on taxable income earned by the Power-One China Subsidiary together with an allegation of potential penalties in the amount of approximately $3,200,000 (Euro 2,800,000) for the alleged failure of the Power-One China Subsidiary to file its Italian tax returns.

On June 3, 2015, the Tax Court, ruled in favor of the Power-One China Subsidiary dismissing the tax assessments for the periods of July 2002 to June 2003 and July 2004 to December 2006. On July 27, 2015, the tax authority filed appeals of the Tax Court's ruling of June 3, 2015. In May 2016, the Regional Tax Court of Florence rejected the appeals of the tax authority and at the same time canceled the notices of assessment for the fiscal years of 2004/2005 and 2005/2006. In December 2016, the Power-One China Subsidiary was served by the Italian Revenue Agency withtwo appeals to the Italian Supreme Court regarding thetwo positive judgments on the tax assessments for the fiscal periods 2004/2005 and 2005/2006. In February 2017, the Power-One China Subsidiary filedtwo memorandums before the Italian Supreme Court in response to the appeals made by the tax authority against the positive judgments on the tax assessments for fiscal years 2004/2005 and 2005/2006.

In March 2017, the Regional Tax Court of Florence rejected the appeal of the assessment for the 2006 fiscal year (period July 2006-December 2006). In October 2017, the Power-One China Subsidiary was served by the Italian Revenue Agency with an appeal to the Italian Supreme Court against the positive judgment on the tax assessment for fiscal year 2006. In November 2017, the Power-One China Subsidiary filed a memorandum before the Italian Supreme Court in response to the appeal made by the tax authority against the positive judgment on the tax assessment for fiscal year 2006. In March 2018, the Regional Tax Court of Florence rejected the appeal of the assessment for the 2002/2003 fiscal year. In October 2018, the Power-One China Subsidiary was served by the Italian Revenue Agency with an appeal to the Italian Supreme Court against the positive judgment on the tax assessment for fiscal year 2002/2003. In November 2018, the Power-One China Subsidiary filed a memorandum with the Italian Supreme Court in response to the appeal made by the tax authority. The Supreme Court upheld the appeals of the Italian Tax Authority and remitted the proceedings back to the Regional Tax Court for a new evaluation of the substance of the dispute.

In December 2022, the Power One China Subsidiary resumed the proceedings concerning the tax assessments for fiscal years 2002/2003 and 2006 before the Regional Tax Court. A hearing was held before the Regional Tax Court in April and May of 2023, intwo separate decisions, the court ruled in favor of the Company. The tax authority appealed this decision on December 6, 2023, and the Company filed the relevant counter claims in January of 2024.

In March 2023, the Power One China Subsidiary resumed the proceedings concerning the tax assessments for fiscal years 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 before the Regional Tax Court. The hearing was held in February 2024 where the court upheld the assessments. The Company is appealing the judgment and expects the Supreme court to reverse the judgment of the lower court as they have previously with the 2002/2003 and 2006 assessments.

The Company believes it will be successful and does not expect to incur a liability related to these assessments.

In September of 2017, Magnetek received a request for defense and indemnification from Monsanto Company, Pharmacia, LLC, and Solutia, Inc. (collectively, “Monsanto”) with respect to: (1) lawsuits brought by plaintiffs claiming that Monsanto manufactured polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs"), exposure to which allegedly caused injury to plaintiffs; and (2) lawsuits brought by municipalities and municipal entities claiming that Monsanto should be responsible for a variety of damages due to the presence of PCBs in bodies of water in those municipalities and/or in water treated by those municipal entities. Monsanto claims to be entitled to defense and indemnification from Magnetek under a so-called “Special Undertaking” apparently executed by Magnetek’s predecessor Universal Manufacturing Corporation ("Universal") in January of 1972, which purportedly required Universal to defend and indemnify Monsanto from liabilities “arising out of or in connection with the receipt, purchase, possession, handling, use, sale or disposition of such PCBs by Universal.

Magnetek has declined Monsanto’s tender and believes that it has meritorious legal and factual defenses to the demands made by Monsanto. Magnetek is vigorously defending against those demands and commenced litigation in New Jersey to, among other things, declare the Special Undertaking void and unenforceable. Monsanto has, in turn, commenced an action to enforce the Special Undertaking in Missouri and joined five additional companies as co-defendants in that Missouri action. The New Jersey action was dismissed in favor of the Missouri action. Co-defendants removed the Missouri action to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. On September 22, 2026, the District Court issued an order dismissing all but one count of the complaint. Monsanto has indicated that it intends to file an amended complaint.

Magnetek intends to continue to vigorously defend against Monsanto’s action. The Company cannot reasonably estimate a potential range of loss with respect to Monsanto’s tender because there is insufficient information regarding the underlying matters. Management believes, however, that the potential additional legal costs related to such matters will not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company or its liquidity, although the effect of any future liabilities recorded could be material to earnings in a future period.

The Company had previously filed suit against Travelers in District Court seeking coverage under insurance policies in the name of Universal. In July 2019, the District Court ruled that Travelers is obligated to defend Magnetek under these policies in connection with Magnetek's litigation against Monsanto. The Court held that Monsanto's claims against Magnetek fall within the insuring agreement of the Travelers policies and that none of the policy exclusions precluded the possibility of coverage. The Court also held that Travelers prior settlements with other insureds under the policies did not cut off or release Magnetek's rights under the policies. Travelers moved for reconsideration which motion was denied. Travelers is currently defending the Company in its litigation with Monsanto.

Environmental Matters

Along with other manufacturing companies, the Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws relating to the protection of the environment. To address the requirements of such laws, the Company has adopted a corporate environmental protection policy which provides that all of its owned or leased facilities shall, and all of its employees have the duty to, comply with all applicable environmental regulatory standards, and the Company utilizes an environmental auditing program for its facilities to ensure compliance with such regulatory standards. The Company has also established managerial responsibilities and internal communication channels for dealing with environmental compliance issues that may arise in the course of its business. Because of the complexity and changing nature of environmental regulatory standards, it is possible that situations will arise from time to time requiring the Company to incur expenditures in order to ensure environmental regulatory compliance. However, the Company is not aware of any environmental condition or any operation at any of its facilities, either individually or in the aggregate, which would cause expenditures having a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows and, accordingly, has not budgeted any material capital expenditures for environmental compliance for fiscal 2027.

In 1986, Magnetek acquired the stock of Universal from a predecessor of Fruit of the Loom (“FOL”), and the predecessor agreed to indemnify Magnetek against certain environmental liabilities arising from pre-acquisition activities at a facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Environmental liabilities covered by the indemnification agreement included completion of additional cleanup activities, if any, at the Bridgeport facility and defense and indemnification against liability for potential response costs related to offsite disposal locations. Magnetek's leasehold interest in the Bridgeport facility was assigned to the buyer in connection with the sale of Magnetek's transformer business in June 2001. FOL, the successor to the indemnification obligation, filed a petition for Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in 1999 and Magnetek filed a proof of claim in the proceeding for obligations related to the environmental indemnification agreement. Magnetek believes that FOL had substantially completed the clean-up obligations required by the indemnification agreement prior to the bankruptcy filing. In November 2001, Magnetek and FOL entered into an agreement involving the allocation of certain potential tax benefits and Magnetek withdrew its claims in the bankruptcy proceeding. Magnetek further believes that FOL's obligation to the state of Connecticut was not discharged in the reorganization proceeding.

In January 2007, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) requested parties, including Magnetek, to submit reports summarizing the investigations and remediation performed to date at the site and the proposed additional investigations and remediation necessary to complete those actions at the site. DEP requested additional information relating to site investigations and remediation. Magnetek and the DEP agreed to the scope of the work plan in November 2010. The Company has recorded a liability of $600,000 included in the amount specified above, related to the Bridgeport facility, representing the best estimate of future site investigation costs and remediation costs which are expected to be incurred in the future.

Kito Crosby

Asbestos

Kito Crosby, along with a number of unrelated third parties, are named as defendants in personal injury claims and lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. The Company monitors claims filing and development experience and periodically updates the estimated cost of defending against and resolving these claims. At September 30, 2026, the Company estimated this asbestos liability to be $14,217,000. The Company believes this represents a reasonable estimate of the remaining remediation costs.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company that are subject to asbestos-related personal injury claims have maintained product liability insurance policies. Certain of these policies provide a source of probable recovery of a portion of losses incurred and paid, as well as a portion of estimated probable future losses accrued as of September 30, 2026. An additional source of probable recovery of uninsured losses is an unrelated third party, which manufactured component products for the Company's subsidiaries that are alleged to give rise to asbestos-related injuries. The estimated probable amount of losses to be recovered from insurance and/or unrelated third parties is $13,914,000 as of September 30, 2026.

Other Matters

Kito Crosby is involved in environmental remediation efforts related to formerly owned or operated properties and certain third-party owned landfill sites, as they are responsible, or alleged to be responsible, for ongoing environmental investigation and remediation of these sites. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation, and associated costs and liabilities are recognized by the Company, considering current developments, the law and existing technologies. It can be difficult to reliably estimate the final costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: an early stage of investigation for some sites, which increases uncertainty with respect to applicable regulatory requirements and duration, scope and cost of the remedial work; evolving laws and regulations affecting the scope of planned remedial effort and technologies applied; an early stage of certain legal analyses, such as the existence and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties subject to joint and several liability for remediation on certain sites; possible identification of additional volumes of contamination at known sites; and general changes in the cost of labor, materials and equipment planned to be employed in remedial work. For all such matters Kito Crosby has $3,159,000 accrued as of September 30, 2026.

For all of the currently known environmental matters, the Company has amounts accrued as of September 30, 2026 which, in our opinion, is sufficient to deal with such matters. The Company is not aware of any environmental condition or any operation at any of its facilities, either individually or in the aggregate, which would cause expenditures to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows and, accordingly, has not budgeted any material capital expenditures for environmental compliance for fiscal 2027.

  1. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $15,315,000 and $36,359,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and income tax benefit of $1,446,000 and $1,186,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Income tax as a percentage of pre-tax income (loss) was (155)% and (47)% in the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 and (46)% and (78)% in the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Typically these percentages vary from the U.S. statutory rate of 21%.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2026, income tax expense was unfavorably impacted by an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to interest expense carryforwards which the Company does not expect to be able to recognize. The realization of these tax benefits depends on the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character and jurisdiction in future periods. Because the Company is in a three-year cumulative loss position, it has concluded that it is appropriate to record a valuation allowance for these tax benefits until additional positive evidence of future period earnings, in the relevant jurisdictions, is available. The Company estimates these deferred tax asset valuation allowances will unfavorably impact the tax rate by approximately 50 percentage points for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2027. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026, also reflects an unfavorable impact related to accrual for income and withholding taxes on the current year earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that are not considered permanently reinvested. This does not reflect a change in management's assertion regarding the permanent reinvestment of foreign earnings. With respect to the accrual for taxes on repatriation of earnings, the Company anticipates an unfavorable tax rate impact of approximately 10 percentage points for the fiscal year ended in 2027.

Refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2026 Form 10-K for further information on income taxes.

  1. Leases

The Company’s lease arrangements generally include real estate (manufacturing facilities, sales offices, distribution centers, warehouses), vehicles, and equipment. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; the Company has elected not to recognize leases with terms of one year or less on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease obligations and their corresponding Right of Use (ROU) assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company's leases have lease terms ranging from 1 to 23 years, some of which include options to extend or terminate the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. When deemed reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal options are included in the determination of the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or any material restrictive covenants.

  1. Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

Topics Not Yet Adopted

In April 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026‑01, "Equity (Topic 505): Initial Measurement of Paid‑in‑Kind Dividends on Equity‑Classified Preferred Stock." The ASU provides guidance on the initial measurement of paid‑in‑kind (“PIK”) dividends on equity‑classified preferred stock and does not affect the timing of dividend recognition. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.

In February 2026, the Company issued Preferred Shares that include a paid‑in‑kind dividend feature. Upon adoption of ASU 2026‑01, the Company will apply the guidance to measure PIK dividends on such preferred shares based on the contractual dividend rate and liquidation preference. The Company is evaluating the timing of adoption and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." This ASU will improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses commonly presented within the expense caption on the Company's Statement of Operations. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company believes the adoption of this standard will result in additional disclosures, but will not have an overall material impact to the financial statements.

The Company is currently assessing the impact these ASUs will have on the footnotes of its annual and interim financial statements. The Company plans to adopt these standards in fiscal 2028 when required. ASUs not listed were assessed and determined to be either not applicable, or had or are expected to have an immaterial impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.
