First quarter 2022 revenue growth of
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
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.”

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

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.

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.
