© 2024 COLUMBUS MCKINNON CORPORATION 18 The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company has provided this non-GAAP financial information, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in this presentation that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation. The non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. • Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin • Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin • Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin • Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion • ROIC • Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio Forward-Looking: The Company has not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS and Net Leverage Ratio guidance to the most comparable GAAP measure because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of management’s control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide guidance for the comparable GAAP financial measures. Forward-looking guidance regarding Adjusted EPS and Net Leverage Ratio for fiscal 2025 are made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein. Forward-looking guidance regarding Adjusted EBITDA Margin for fiscal 2027 are made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein. Non-GAAP Measures
