Mistras Group Delivers Strong First Quarter Results
PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., Oct. 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mistras Group, Inc. (NYSE:MG), a leading "one source" global provider of technology-enabled asset protection solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, which ended August 31, 2012. During the first quarter, the Company had revenues of $113.4 million, net income of $4.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA*, a non-GAAP measure detailed later in this release, of $15.5 million.
First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue of $113.4 million increased 24%.
- Adjusted EBITDA* increased 29% to $15.5 million.
- Net income increased 33% to $4.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.
- Net cash provided by operating activities increased more than 60% to $21.5 million.
- Operating margins and Adjusted EBITDA* margins increased over the prior year.
- SG&A as a percent of revenues dropped to 20.7 % versus 21.2% in the prior year.
In September 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of German-based GMA Holding, a leader in the field of quality assurance, non-destructive and destructive material testing, and engineering services. GMA Holding has more than 500 employees located in 11 offices throughout Germany, as well as operations in the Netherlands. Revenues for GMA Holding's most recent fiscal year were approximately $50 million and the purchase price was $36 million plus additional consideration for meeting certain profitability targets. The Company expects the GMA acquisition will be break-even for fiscal 2013.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Sotirios J. Vahaviolos stated, "The first quarter was another strong quarter for the Mistras model, as significant increases in revenues produced larger gains in net income, Adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flows. This is indicative of how we manage the business for our shareholders." Dr. Vahaviolos added, "We continue to expand our service offerings with the acquisition of the GMA Group that not only bring us new capabilities in the testing space, but also help increase our scale in the European market".
Outlook and Guidance for Fiscal 2013
The Company's outlook is for continued double digit growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA*. The Company is adjusting its previously issued fiscal 2013 guidance and now projects its fiscal 2013 revenues to be in the range of $520 million to $535 million and Adjusted EBITDA* to be in the range of $76 million to $85 million. Mistras does not provide quarterly guidance, but expects to affirm or update its annual guidance at least quarterly.

* Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The term "Adjusted EBITDA" used in this release is a financial measurement not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to a financial measurement under GAAP is set forth in a table attached to this press release. In addition, the Company has also included tables for non-GAAP measurements "Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted Earnings Per Share," also reconciling these measurements to a financial measurement under GAAP. The Company believes that investors and other users of the financial statements benefit from the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and adjusted earnings per share because they provide additional metrics to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis and measure underlying trends and results of the Company's business.
