Mistras Group, Inc. Delivers First Quarter Revenue Growth of 34%; Net Income Increases 103%
PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., Oct. 10, 2011 (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 2012. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $91.4 million, an increase of 34%, over the $68.4 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 grew by 103% to $3.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, versus $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusted EBITDA*, a non-GAAP measure detailed later in this release, increased 42% to $12.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 versus $8.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Consistent with prior quarters, organic growth contributed the bulk of the revenue gain. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the organic growth rate was 19%, while acquisition growth was 12% and the balance of growth was due to foreign currency fluctuations.
Additional Financial Highlights for the first quarter of Fiscal 2012:
- Operating income margins grew by 170 basis points and Adjusted EBITDA* margins grew by 70 basis points compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2011.
- The Company generated $12.8 million in net cash from operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 versus $9.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011, representing an increase of 39%.
- Revenues from the oil and gas market grew by 24% while revenues from all other markets combined grew by more than 40% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Sotirios J. Vahaviolos stated that, "We were pleased with the continued momentum of our business in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, which is traditionally a soft quarter for us. Once again, organic revenue growth was a significant driver behind our results, rising to 19% in the first quarter. Our unique approach, which provides 'One Source' Asset Protection Solutions to our customers, continues to receive broad acceptance in the many target markets that we serve."

* Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The term "Adjusted EBITDA" is a financial measurement not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company believes that investors and other users of the financial statements benefit from the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA because it provides an additional metric to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis and measure underlying trends and results of the Company's business. A reconciliation of this to a financial measurement under GAAP is set forth in a table attached to this press release.
