PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MISTRAS Group, Inc. (MG: NYSE), a leading "one source" multinational provider of integrated technology-enabled asset protection solutions, reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Highlights for the First Quarter 2025*

• Revenue of $161.6 million, a decrease of 12.4%
• Gross profit of $40.9 million, with gross profit margin of 25.3%, an increase of 30 basis points
• Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $35.7 million, down 1.7%
• Net loss of $3.2 million inclusive of Special items of $3.6 million, with Adjusted EBITDA of $12.0 million
• Net cash provided by operating activities of $5.6 million, an increase of $5.0 million
  
  

*All comparisons are consolidated and versus the equivalent prior year period, unless otherwise noted and give effect to the reclassification of certain overhead and personnel expenses in the consolidated statement of income (loss) from SG&A to cost of revenue. Please see the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and additional information about the non-GAAP financial measures set forth in tables attached to this press release.

Natalia Shuman, President and Chief Executive Officer commented "despite the larger than anticipated year-over-year decline in revenue driven by overall market uncertainty, we were nevertheless able to rapidly calibrate costs and expenses down during the first quarter to our revenue level, in order to preserve our operational metrics. With a continued focus on cost and expense management, including a reduction in our administrative support functional costs, and coupled with anticipated revenue growth across all primary industries, we are confident these drivers will provide an improvement in key profitability measures over the remainder of the year."

Ms. Shuman continued, "we are closely monitoring potential industry headwinds caused by global market uncertainty driven by our customers' reactions to tariffs and other market conditions, changes to U.S. trade policy and other market conditions, and the potential impact this could have on our global businesses. We are well positioned to maintain share in the primary industries we serve by leveraging our proprietary technological advantages and testing methods. We are also focusing on our other existing end markets such as Industrials, Infrastructure, & Other Process Industries, where our testing and inspection services as well as data analytics would be enablers to drive growth in the future."

For the first quarter of 2025, consolidated revenue was $161.6 million, a decrease of 12.4% from the first quarter of 2024. This decline was primarily driven by a $16.6 million decrease in Oil & Gas market revenues and declines in other key markets due to macroeconomic demand factors, which was partially offset by growth in the Industrials market. The overall Oil & Gas revenue decline was primarily driven by modest spring turnaround activity as anticipated, along with unexpected softness in demand in the Midstream sector.

Although gross profit declined in the first quarter of 2025, gross profit margin nevertheless increased 30 basis points. This improvement was due to lower healthcare claims expense in the current year period and a favorable sales mix.

The Company's results reflect certain overhead and personnel expenses which have been reclassified in the Consolidated Statements of Income (loss) from SG&A to Cost of Revenue, as it is determined this reclassification would be preferable as it provides greater transparency regarding the true cost of the Company's revenue and aligns with how the business is managed. These overhead and personnel costs, which were determined to be directly related to the Company's delivery of services, are generally variable to revenue being recognized and results in gross profit that fully encompasses all costs necessary to generate that revenue. The reclassification recorded within the financials was $6.0 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

SG&A in the first quarter of 2025 was $35.7 million, down $0.6 million or 1.7%, from the prior year comparable period despite adverse foreign exchange translation within SG&A of $0.9 million. This decrease in SG&A reflects the continued cost discipline and focus on calibration of overhead costs relative to the revenue level achieved.

The Company reported a quarterly net loss of $3.2 million, or ($0.10) per share, compared to a net income of $1.0 million or $0.03 per share in the prior year period. Net loss excluding Special Items (non-GAAP) was ($0.3) million, or ($0.01) per share for the first quarter of 2025, compared to a net income of $2.2 million, or $0.07 per share in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $16.2 million in the prior year period, a decline of 25.4%. Nevertheless, Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was the second highest first quarter Adjusted EBITDA performance for the Company over the last five years.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $0.6 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow (non-GAAP) was negative $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to negative $5.3 million in the prior year period. The Company's improved free cash flow was primarily attributable to a favorable working capital reduction compared to the prior year period.

The Company's gross debt was $171.9 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $169.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company is typically a net borrower in the first quarter of each year and remains committed to using free cash flow to fund strategic capital expenditures and reduce debt throughout the remainder of 2025.

Reorganization and Other Costs

For the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded $3.1 million of reorganization and other costs related to continued calibration of the Company's support, overhead, and other related costs.

2025 Outlook

The Company is not providing full year guidance for fiscal 2025 due to unprecedented market uncertainty as a result of tariffs, changes to U.S. trade policy and other market conditions and while the new CEO is still reviewing the Company's entire portfolio of businesses.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the impacts of foreign currency exchange risks and recently announced U.S. foreign tariffs and changes to U.S trade policy on our business and financial results, and additional operational and strategic actions that we expect or seek to take in furtherance of our strategies and activities to enhance our financial results and future growth. Such forward-looking statements relate to MISTRAS' financial results and estimates, products and services, business model, operational and strategic initiatives to improve operating leverage, strategy, growth opportunities, profitability and competitive position, and other matters. These forward-looking statements generally use words such as "future," "possible," "potential," "targeted," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "predict," "project," "will," "may," "should," "could," "would" and other similar words and phrases. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved, if at all. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in these statements. A list, description and discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties can be found in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission filed on March 11, 2025, as updated by our reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and MISTRAS undertakes no obligation to update such statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), this press release also contains adjusted financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that we believe provide investors and management with supplemental information relating to the Company's operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to trends and projected information. The term "Adjusted EBITDA" used in this release is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with GAAP and is defined by the Company as net income attributable to MISTRAS Group, Inc. plus: interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, certain acquisition related costs (including transaction due diligence costs and adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration), foreign exchange (gain) loss, non-cash impairment charges, reorganization and other costs and, if applicable, certain additional special items which are noted. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) as computed under GAAP is set forth in a table attached to this press release. The Company also uses the term "free cash flow", a non-GAAP financial measure the Company defines as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). The Company additionally uses the terms:

"Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) from Operations (GAAP) to Income (Loss) from Operations before Special Items (non-GAAP)", "Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) and Diluted EPS (GAAP) to Net Income Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP) and Diluted EPS Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP)" which reconciles the non-GAAP amounts to the GAAP financial measure. This press release also includes the term "net debt", a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company defines as the sum of the current and long-term portions of long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are also set forth in tables attached to this press release. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as a performance or liquidity measure and should not be considered alternatives to Net Income (Loss) or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Because Income (loss) from operations before special items and other non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
