Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
On November 6, 2017, Mistras Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) issued a press release announcing the financial results for our third quarter, which ended September 30, 2017.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
In the press release attached, the Company uses the terms “Adjusted EBITDA”, “free cash flow” and "net debt", which are not measures of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Also, in the tables to the press release, the non-GAAP financial measure "Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) before Special Items”, is presented and reconciled to a financial measure under GAAP.  Information about these non-GAAP measures are included in the press release.

Our management uses these non-GAAP measurements as a measure of operating performance and liquidity to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are also performance evaluation metrics used to determine incentive compensation for executive officers.

We believe that investors and other users of the financial statements benefit from the presentation of these non-GAAP measurements because they provide additional metrics to compare the Company's operating performance and liquidity on a consistent basis and measure underlying trends and results of the Company's business. Adjusted EBITDA and Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) before Special Items assist in evaluating our operating performance because they remove the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. For instance, Adjusted EBITDA generally excludes interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization, each of which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and the book value and age of assets, capital structure, capital investment cycles and the method by which assets were acquired. It also eliminates stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense and is excluded by management when evaluating the underlying performance of our business operations.

Our management uses free cash flow when evaluating the performance of our business operations. This measurement also takes into account cash used to purchase fixed assets needed for business operations which are not expensed. We believe this measurement provides an additional tool to compare cash generated by our operations on a consistent basis and measure underlying trends and results in our business.
While Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are terms and financial measurements commonly used by investors and securities analysts, they have limitations. As non-GAAP measurements, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows have no standard meaning and, therefore, may not be comparable with similar measurements for other companies. Similarly, Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) Before Special Items has no standard meaning and may not be comparable to measurements for other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are generally limited as analytical tools because they exclude charges and expenses we do incur as part of our operations as well as cash uses which are included in a GAAP cash flow statement. In addition, free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since items such as debt repayments are not deducted in determining such measurement.

None of these non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Exhibit 99.1


Mistras Group Announces Third Quarter Results
Q3 Net Loss of ($7.0) million or ($0.25) per diluted share, including non-cash Intangible Asset Write-Off Pertaining to Products Subsidiary of ($9.8) million or ($0.33) net of tax;
Excluding special items, the Company's net income would have been $4.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.
Services Segment Q3 Revenues Increased 8% vs. Prior Year

MISTRAS Group, Inc., November 6, 2017 4:01 PM

PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., November 6, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Mistras Group, Inc. (MG: NYSE), a leading "one source" global provider of technology-enabled asset protection solutions, reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2017 were $179.6 million, 6% higher than prior year. Third quarter 2017 net loss was ($7.0) million or ($0.25) per diluted share, versus net income of $7.2 million or $0.24 per diluted share in the prior year. Third quarter 2017 results included the following special items:
Write-off of intangible assets pertaining to the Company’s Products and Systems segment reduced operating income by $15.8 million ($9.8 million net-of-tax);
Severance pertaining to cost reductions reduced operating income by $0.5 million ($0.4 million net-of-tax)
Reserve established for litigation settlement reduced operating income by $1.2 million ($0.7 million net-of-tax)
Excluding these special items, the Company’s net income would have been $4.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.

The Company generated $35.2 million of cash from operating activities and $19.9 million of free cash flow during the first nine months of 2017, both of which were reduced by the $6.3 million payment of a prior year legal settlement. The Company used $8.4 million of its free cash flow to complete two acquisitions and $15.9 million to repurchase common stock. The Company’s net debt (total debt less cash) was approximately $92.0 million at September 30, 2017.

Performance by segment was as follows:






Services segment Q3 revenues increased by $10 million or 8% over prior year, despite the impact of the 2017 summer hurricanes. Services revenue continued to be impacted by one challenged region. Revenues from all other regions increased approximately 13%, including mid-single digit positive organic growth.

Services segment Q3 operating income declined by $0.5 million, or 4% over prior year, and by $0.9 million or 7%, excluding special items. The decline was primarily driven by a challenged region which resulted in decreased operating income. Operating income of all other regions improved by over 10% compared with prior year. In addition, driven by the aforementioned hurricane impact, there was an adverse impact in utilization of technicians during Q3.


International segment Q3 revenues increased by $0.3 million or 1% compared with prior year, inclusive of the beneficial impact of foreign exchange rates. International revenues were adversely impacted by an organic decline in Germany, driven primarily by sales declines pertaining to two customers who either reduced or moved production in relation to aerospace business.

International segment Q3 operating income declined by $4.7 million or 82% compared with prior year. The reduction was driven by reductions in Germany, caused by its aforementioned revenue decline, and in the Company’s UK business. The UK business experienced a negative sales mix and lower levels of utilization at some of its locations. This performance caused the Company to determine that it will take cost reduction actions in the UK business, closing at least one location and reducing headcount. Severance of $0.3 million was recorded in Q3 and additional severance and charges are expected in Q4 related to this initiative.

Products and Systems segment Q3 revenue declined by $0.5 million or 8% compared with prior year. During Q3, Management determined that a subsidiary of the Products and Systems segment is no longer aligned with the future direction of this segment, and is evaluating its alternatives concerning this subsidiary. Goodwill and intangible assets of $15.8 million were written off during Q3, caused by lower than previously expected future operating performance of the segment.

Chief Executive Officer Dennis Bertolotti stated, "I continue to be pleased with the performance of our Services segment. As expected, market conditions in the fall of 2017 turned modestly positive compared with an unusually low level of prior year activity. Our team worked with our customers to minimize the impact of the summer hurricanes and fortunately there appears to have been no lasting physical damage from these events.”

Mr. Bertolotti added: “We are working diligently to position the Company for its next phase of growth. During Q3 we restructured the Services segment leadership team and as our Q3 results demonstrate, we are already seeing benefits from increased focus and accountability. We are committed to our Products and Systems segment but we are reevaluating alternatives for its subsidiary and will take decisive action there. Finally, we are in the process of reducing costs in our UK business to get down to a core focus that will enable strong improvement in 2018 and in the years to come.”

Mr. Bertolotti concluded, stating “In addition to these initiatives, we are making good progress on our previously announced $5 million cost reduction program, and we have integrated our two recent acquisitions to become key contributors to our ongoing





success. Our acquisition pipeline is full with opportunities to grow and to diversify our Services business, and we intend to continue to pursue this growth avenue to take advantage of what we expect will be a market that continues to gradually improve in 2018.”

Updated Guidance for Reminder of 2017
North American inspection services market conditions have been in line with the Company’s expectations throughout 2017, and this is expected to continue for Q4. Services segment results have also been in line with Company expectations and are expected to improve over prior year in Q4. Services segment results for the fiscal year are expected to meet our previous expectations, excluding the adverse impacts of the summer hurricanes and the nuclear customer bankruptcy that occurred in earlier in 2017.
The Company’s International and Products & Systems segments have performed below expectations in 2017, driving the restructuring actions described above. Because of this performance, the Company now expects that its adjusted EBITDA will come in at the lower end of our previously forecasted range of $66 million to $70 million for calendar 2017.
Based upon its preliminary planning for 2018, the Company expects revenue and profit growth in each of its segments next year, driven by a number of growth initiatives and benefits to be realized from cost reduction activities.

Certain statements made in this press release are "forward-looking statements" about Mistras' financial results and estimates, products and services, business model, 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.

Use of Non-GAAP 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 we believe provide investors and management with supplemental information relating to operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information. The term "Adjusted EBITDA" used in this release is a financial measurement not calculated in accordance with GAAP and is defined as net income attributable to Mistras Group, Inc. plus: interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and certain acquisition related costs (including transaction due diligence costs and adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration), foreign exchange (gain) loss and, if applicable, certain special items which are noted. 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 in the attached tables non-GAAP measurement” “Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) Before Special Items”, reconciling these measurements to financial measurements under GAAP. The Company uses the term “free cash flow”, a non-GAAP measurement the Company defines as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). The Company also uses the term “net debt”, a non-GAAP measurement defined as the sum of the current and long-term portions of long-term debt and capital lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents.
