Columbus McKinnon lifts FY27 outlook after Q2 sales more than double

Columbus McKinnon reported second‑quarter fiscal 2027 net sales of $539.3 million, a 107 % year‑over‑year increase driven by the Kito Crosby acquisition and organic growth. The quarter posted a net loss of $25.5 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, after accounting for acquisition‑related expenses. Adjusted earnings were $0.61 per share and adjusted EBITDA reached $111.2 million, up 176.5 % from the prior year. Management raised full‑year guidance to $2.13 billion‑$2.17 billion of net sales and $2.00‑$2.15 of adjusted EPS, citing strong integration progress and higher margin potential.

The company says the higher guidance reflects confidence that integration synergies will sustain revenue growth and improve profitability through the second half of FY27. Investors will see a larger revenue target and a higher earnings range for the year, which could affect valuation models and target prices.
