Columbus McKinnon Plans to Acquire Kito Crosby
On February 10, 2025, the Company announced its plans to acquire Kito Crosby. Key strategic and financial benefits of the pro forma business after the completion of the Acquisition and Divestiture remain: Improved scale that not only doubles the size of our business, giving Columbus McKinnon broader global reach with an expanded product portfolio, but also combines the significant capabilities of both businesses to deliver an enhanced value proposition for our customers; attractive financial profile with mid-20% Adjusted EBITDA margin1 on a synergy-adjusted basis, consisting of $70M of expected annual net run rate cost synergies, that the Company expects will be more resilient though cycles given its product mix, larger scale and greater diversification; value creation driven by $70M of expected annual net run rate cost synergies with upside opportunity for potential revenue synergies, as the combined Company will have an expanded presence in the fast-growing APAC region and the opportunity to expand Kito Crosby's presence and offerings in EMEA and Latin America. Combined cash flow generation of the Company expected to grow over time as synergies are achieved, which the Company plans to use to pay down debt over the next few years and position the Company to reinvest in growth with attractive cash-on-cash returns after achieving its leverage targets. The Company is working expeditiously with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice as part of the Hart-Scott-Rodino regulatory review process to close the Acquisition. The Company continues to expect the Acquisition to close in the Q1.
