Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
On May 3, 2022, Mistras Group, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us" and "our") issued a press release announcing the financial results for our first quarter of 2022, which ended March 31, 2022. 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 measures "Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) before Special Items” (which includes operating income before special items) and are presented and reconciled to financial measures under GAAP within the table "Segment and Total Company Income from Operations (GAAP) to Income (Loss) from Operations before Special Items (Non-GAAP)" and the non-GAAP financial measure "Diluted EPS excluding Special Items", are presented and reconciled to financial measure under GAAP within the table "Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) and Diluted EPS (GAAP) to Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP) and Diluted EPS Excluding Special Items (non-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 operating income 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 before special items and diluted EPS excluding 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.

MISTRAS Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

Continuing Top-Line Growth, Lowered Cost of Capital and Expanded Data Solutions offerings
Organic revenue growth of 5.2%
Interest expense reduction of $1.3 million or 39.7%
Continued expansion of OneSuite™ (Data Solutions), Sensoria™ (Wind) and Private Space capabilities

PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., May 3, 2022 (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 of 2022.

Highlights of the First Quarter 2022*
Revenue of $161.7 million, an increase of 5.2% of organic growth
SG&A expenses of $42.0 million, down 1.7% sequentially
Net loss of $5.4 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $5.5 million
Gross debt of $208.8 million and Net debt of $188.9 million
* All comparisons are consolidated and versus the equivalent prior year period, unless otherwise noted.

First quarter 2022 revenue growth of 5.2% came in at the high end of the range anticipated by the Company during its fourth quarter outlook commentary. First quarter 2022 gross profit was essentially flat with the year ago period, although gross profit margin was down slightly, primarily due to higher healthcare costs and certain one-time costs in the current year, and the end of wage subsidies that had been received in the prior year period. Gross profit margin is expected to expand significantly over the remainder of the year, due to anticipated volume growth and improved sales mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were $42.0 million, up from $39.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, due primarily to the reversal of remaining COVID-19 temporary cost reductions in August 2021, which had been initially implemented in 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses were down 1.7% sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2021 and remain essentially flat with the pre-pandemic period in the first quarter of 2019.

Chief Executive Officer Dennis Bertolotti commented, “This was our seventh consecutive quarter of revenue growth as we continue to make significant progress in markets that have not fully recovered from the pandemic. We exceeded our revenue expectation for the first quarter, despite a slow start in Downstream in an otherwise relatively strong Spring turnaround season.



Both our Services segment and International segment had revenue increases of almost 7% in local currencies. Our bottom-line performance was as anticipated for the first quarter, in what is typically the lowest seasonal period of the year.

The Company’s expectations for full year financial performance are discussed later in the release.

Mr. Bertolotti additionally commented on the Company’s progress noting, “Our recently launched data solutions offerings are continuing to evolve. Our MISTRAS OneSuite™ software ecosystem provides customers with a single-access portal for cross-functional data activities and includes access to over 85 integrated applications, all on one centralized, inter-connected and secured platform. We implemented OneSuite at 36 separate installations, spanning 110 unique customer sites with over 800 individual subscriptions in 2021. We anticipate further expansion of OneSuite utilization throughout 2022, with revenue doubling in this second full year for OneSuite. It is important to note that in addition to winning over new customers, OneSuite is also currently leveraging enhanced functionality of its applications, firmly within our core Oil and Gas customers. The software will differentiate us in three distinct ways: 1) customer retention – we will become an even stickier component of our customers daily activities, as they move further with our over 85 unique applications, 2) unlocking unique insights and direct benefits, we will create value for our customers from our applications, which they cannot achieve with other vendors, and 3) monetizing of the overall digital platform through greater use of the underlying applications (and the related licensing fees), as customers increasingly integrate our applications and seek our analysis of their data. We will leverage our applications and automate analyses where possible, but our Subject Matter Experts (who make the most of the data generated for the benefit of our customers on a daily basis) will remain a pivotal piece of the value-added stream.”

Mr. Bertolotti further continued, “I am also very pleased with the ongoing development and expansion of our Sensoria™ Wind Blade Monitoring and Sensoria Insights Web Portal, which provides real-time detection and visualization of wind turbine blade damage, utilizing our recently patented wind turbine blade monitoring systems. We added nearly 40 wind turbines to our platform in the first quarter of 2022, which comprised the entire site for one customer. We also added additional data analysts to our team, to enhance our capability to actively monitor and finalize the automation of Sensoria monitoring. We continue to demonstrate the capabilities of Sensoria to a number of customers, across various OEM hardware systems of varying megawatt capacity. I am proud of our team and the progress we have made in a relatively short time, as our initial Sensoria installation was only in June of 2020, as the early pilots and demos are now scaling up to full commercialization.

Both OneSuite and Sensoria represent an evolution in asset protection, which MISTRAS is uniquely qualified to leverage our proven capabilities and expertise such as acoustic emission monitoring, while innovating to meet the needs of the changing global landscape. These newer, data-centric capabilities favorably complement our more established MISTRAS Digital® tool - a mobile, cloud-based field inspection, execution, and reporting platform, which digitalizes the field inspection process via a powerful, end-to-end workflow solution. All of these inter-related data solutions combine together, to create a robust, predictive analytical platform, delivering an enhanced return on investment (“ROI”) for our core and emerging customers. I am very excited about our prospects for growth in these new areas of opportunity in 2022 and beyond.”

Mr. Bertolotti concluded with, “I continue to be very encouraged about the strengthening market conditions in the Aerospace and Defense industry. We are hearing more optimism from metal suppliers that they expect to be sending us significant volumes of material for testing in the second half of 2022 for our Aerospace customers. In addition, I am also very excited to announce that we will be expanding our complimentary capabilities in the Aerospace and Defense market, including the private space sector. Supply chain issues are challenging our customers’ logistics, and we are responding by building more extensive capabilities to better serve these supply chain issues. One example of this is our facility in Georgia, where in partnership with a customer, we are installing machining capability, taking on additional adjacent operations and emulating what we achieved in the past for Safran at our facility in Le Creusot, France. Solving customers’ ever evolving needs is an area where MISTRAS continues to demonstrate operational excellence and value-added performance.”




Performance by certain Segments:

Services segment first quarter revenue was $132.9 million, up 7.0% from $124.3 million in the prior year quarter. Revenues continue to reflect recovery in the Energy markets. For the first quarter, gross profit was $30.5 million, compared to $31.1 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin was 23.0% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 25.0% in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease of 200 basis points was due to primarily to higher healthcare costs in the US and certain one-time costs in the current year, and the end of wage subsidies received in Canada which had been received in the prior year period.

International segment first quarter revenues were $28.1 million, up 1.8% from $27.6 million in the prior year quarter but up 7.5% in local currencies before foreign currency translation, which represents organic growth; in part, due to increased opportunities in a recovering aerospace market. International segment first quarter gross profit margin was 29.1%, compared to 27.6% in the prior year, a 150-basis point improvement attributable to a favorable sales mix.

The Company generated a net loss of $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, consistent with the net loss of $5.4 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $7.0 million in the prior year.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
The Company’s net cash from operating activities was negative $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $3.1 million in prior year. Free cash flow was negative $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to negative $1.2 million in the prior year. The Company did build up significant net working capital during the first quarter of 2022, particularly extended days sales outstanding which resulted in an increase in accounts receivable, but it does expect to generate significant cash flow throughout the remainder of 2022. The first quarter is typically the lowest seasonal period of the year.

The Company’s net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $188.9 million as of March 31, 2022, compared to $178.5 million as of December 31, 2021. Gross debt increased by $6.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, from $202.6 million at the end of 2021 to $208.8 million as of March 31, 2022.

Outlook
The Company’s business has been recovering from the low level of demand experienced in the second quarter of 2020, when the effect of COVID-19 peaked. Energy prices and demand have improved from that time, the Company’s end markets are rebounding to pre-pandemic levels. The Company's second largest market Aerospace and Defense, particularly the commercial sector, had been lagging other end market recoveries, although an accelerated improvement is anticipated in commercial Aerospace in the second half of 2022. Accordingly, for the full year 2022, the Company expects to grow revenue to between $695 and $715 million, which should generate Adjusted EBITDA between $65 to $69 million. The Company’s free cash flow is expected to be between $27 to $30 million. Given strong energy markets, improving commercial aerospace demand, robust industrial manufacturing and rapidly developing Data Solutions, the Company is confident in achieving its outlook projections.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
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. 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 14, 2022, 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 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, non-cash impairment charges and, if applicable, certain additional 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. 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, less cash and cash equivalents and 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). A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measurements to GAAP are also set forth in tables attached to this press release. In the tables attached is also a table reconciling “Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) from operations (GAAP) to Income (Loss) before special items (non-



GAAP)", “Net Income (Loss) (GAAP)" to "Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP)”, and “Diluted EPS (GAAP)” to “Diluted EPS Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP)” which reconciles the non-GAAP amount to a GAAP measurement.
