Transcat, Inc. (NASDAQ:TRNS) ("Transcat" or the "Company"), a leading provider of accredited calibration services, cost control and optimization services, and distribution and rental of value-added professional grade handheld test, measurement, and control instrumentation, today reported financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended March 29, 2025.

Management Commentary

"Consolidated revenue grew 9% in the fiscal fourth quarter as strength in the Calibration business drove double-digit Service revenue growth and margin expansion," said Lee D. Rudow, President and CEO of Transcat. "Acquisitions continued to play a key role in Service revenue, including most recently Martin Calibration which we are swiftly integrating into our operations. Driven by consistent demand in the Calibration business, Service organic growth was in the high single-digit range for Q4 and the full year, when normalized for the 53rd week and excluding the Transcat Solutions channel. Revenue growth in both segments combined with continued productivity gains from increased automation and process improvements drove EBITDA growth for Q4 and the full year.

"The macroeconomic backdrop, including tariffs, has become more uncertain since the beginning of the year. However, our business model is resilient. The regulatory standards for manufacturers imposed by entities including the FDA, FAA and Department of Defense fundamentally drive the opportunity for ongoing organic Service growth of our differentiated calibration services. From a tariff standpoint, higher levels of US manufacturing overtime will provide increased opportunity for Transcat. Our dedicated team has a proven track record of delivering profitable revenue growth over the past decade and a half. We believe our team in combination with the recurring revenue inherent in the industries we serve, diversified portfolio with a Fortune 500 client base, and strong balance sheet will continue to differentiate Transcat during Fiscal 2026 and beyond.

"While we would expect some downward pressure in revenue in a highly volatile economic backdrop, generally our business model holds up well and will return to high single-digit Service organic revenue growth as macro-trends normalize. Inherent operating leverage in our Service model, along with automation of our calibration processes and focus on productivity, remain key enablers of Service margin expansion. We will continue to leverage our acquisition expertise and are excited with the current flow of strategic opportunities. We believe strong execution, paired with strategic acquisitions, positions us well to drive long-term shareholder value."

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Review

(Results are compared with the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024 ("fiscal 2024"))

Consolidated revenue was $77.1 million, an increase of 8.8%, even though fiscal 2025 had 13 weeks compared to 14 weeks in fiscal 2024. Consolidated gross profit was $25.9 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 7.8%, while gross margin decreased by 30 basis points due to lower distribution gross margin.

Operating expenses were $19.0 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 27.9%, driven by incremental expenses from acquired businesses (including stock-based compensation expense), increased intangibles amortization expense, higher sales-based incentives, and a reversal of the non-cash charge related to the amended NEXA Earn-Out agreement in fiscal 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7 million, which represented an increase of $1.1 million or 9.1%. Net income per diluted share of $0.48 was down from $0.77 and adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.64 versus $0.66 last year, which includes the non-cash reversal of $2.4 million for the amended NEXA Earn-Out agreement.

Service Segment Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter Results

Represents the accredited calibration, repair, inspection and laboratory instrument services business (67.4% of total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025).

Service segment revenue was $52.0 million, an increase of $5.3 million or 11.3% and included $10.4 million of incremental revenue from acquisitions. Organic revenue declined 2% because of one less week in fiscal 2025. When normalized for the 53rd week, Service organic growth was in the low-to-mid single-digit range, consistent with previous guidance. The segment gross margin increased 50 basis points from the prior year, primarily due to continued productivity improvements.

Distribution Segment Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter Results

Represents the sale and rental of new and used professional grade handheld test, measurement and control instrumentation (32.6% of total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025).

Distribution sales were $25.1 million, an increase of 3.9% on improved rental sales including acquisitions. Distribution segment gross margin was 28.2%, a decrease of 210 basis points due to the sales mix of products sold.

Full-Year Fiscal 2025 Review

(Results are compared with full-year fiscal 2024)

Total revenue was $278.4 million, an increase of $18.9 million or 7.3%. Consolidated gross profit was $89.5 million, up $5.6 million, or 6.7%, and gross margin was 32.1%, a decrease of 20 basis points.

Consolidated operating expenses were $71.6 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 11.8%, driven by incremental expenses from acquired businesses (including stock-based compensation expense), increased intangibles amortization expense, and investments in technology and our employee base to support future growth. As a result, consolidated operating income was $17.9 million compared with $19.8 million in last fiscal year's period, an decrease of 9.6%.

Adjusted EBITDA was $39.7 million which represented an increase of $1.1 million or 2.9%. Net income per diluted share decreased to $1.57 from $1.63 and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $2.29 versus $2.36 last year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Overview

On March 29, 2025, the Company had $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand and $49.1 million available for borrowing under its secured revolving credit facility. Total debt was $32.7 million versus $4.2 million on March 30, 2024. The Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, was 0.78 on March 29, 2025, compared with 0.10 on March 30, 2024.

Tom Barbato, Transcat's Chief Financial Officer, added, "Service gross margins expanded 50bps on double-digit revenue growth in Q4 which further demonstrates our ability to leverage higher levels of Technician productivity and our differentiated value proposition. Q4 EBITDA grew 9% as both segments experienced revenue growth. Operating free cash flow expanded by $6.5 million in fiscal 2025 to $25.8 million. Our balance sheet remains very strong with a 0.78x leverage ratio and $49 million available from our credit facility at quarter-end. Given our financial strength and resilient business model, we are well-positioned for future growth."

NOTE 1 – Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure, we present Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, non-cash loss on sale of building and restructuring expense), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the performance of its core operations from period to period by removing the impact of the capital structure (interest), tangible and intangible asset base (depreciation and amortization), taxes, stock-based compensation expense and other items, which is not always commensurate with the reporting period in which it is included. As such, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance when evaluating its business segments and as a basis for planning and forecasting. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies. See pages 10 and 11 for the Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation tables.

In addition to reporting Diluted Earnings Per Share, a GAAP measure, we present Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (net income plus acquisition related amortization expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, acquisition related stock-based compensation, acquisition amortization of backlog and restructuring expense; divided by the average diluted shares outstanding during the period), which is a non-GAAP measure. Our management believes Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is an important measure of our operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for the GAAP measure of Diluted Earnings Per Share and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies. See page 12 for the Adjusted Diluted EPS Reconciliation table.
