Insights

Financial Analyst

MISTRAS Group's Q2 2024 results demonstrate robust financial performance, with notable improvements across key metrics. Revenue grew by 7.8% to $189.8 million, driven by strong growth in the Aerospace and Defense sector (17.5% increase) and Oil & Gas (3.0% increase). This diversified growth across all industries signals a healthy demand for MISTRAS's services.

The company's profitability metrics are particularly impressive. Gross profit increased by 12.9% to $56.1 million, with gross profit margin expanding by 140 basis points to 29.6%. This margin expansion, coupled with a 1.3% reduction in SG&A expenses, led to a significant boost in bottom-line performance. Net income surged to $6.4 million ($0.20 per diluted share) from $0.3 million in the prior year period.

The standout metric is Adjusted EBITDA, which grew by 44.6% to $22.1 million. This substantial increase outpacing revenue growth indicates improved operational efficiency and successful cost management initiatives. The company's focus on enhancing its commercial function and implementing cost discipline strategies appears to be yielding positive results.

However, investors should note the decrease in cash flow from operations and negative free cash flow, primarily due to working capital changes. While this might be temporary due to project timing, it's an area to monitor in future quarters.

Overall, MISTRAS's Q2 results and reaffirmed 2024 outlook suggest a company on a strong growth trajectory with improving profitability. The focus on high-margin growth initiatives and cost containment bodes well for future performance.

Market Research Analyst

MISTRAS Group's Q2 2024 results reveal interesting market dynamics across its key industries. The 17.5% growth in Aerospace and Defense revenue is particularly noteworthy, indicating a robust recovery and expansion in this sector. This aligns with broader industry trends of increased defense spending and a rebound in commercial aviation post-pandemic.

The 3.0% growth in Oil & Gas revenue, driven by a strong Spring turnaround season, suggests a steady demand for maintenance and inspection services in this sector. This moderate growth might reflect the industry's cautious approach to capital expenditure amid fluctuating oil prices and increasing focus on energy transition.

MISTRAS's ability to achieve growth across all industries it serves demonstrates the company's diversified business model and its resilience to sector-specific fluctuations. This diversification strategy appears to be paying off, providing stability and multiple growth avenues.

The company's focus on high-margin growth initiatives, such as Data Analytical Solutions and the Aerospace and Defense industry, aligns well with market trends towards digitalization and increased defense spending. This strategic direction could position MISTRAS favorably in capturing emerging opportunities in these high-growth segments.

The reaffirmed outlook for 2024, projecting revenue between $725 million and $750 million, suggests management's confidence in sustained market demand and the company's competitive position. However, investors should keep an eye on macroeconomic factors and industry-specific trends that could impact this outlook.

*     All comparisons are consolidated and versus the equivalent prior year period, unless otherwise noted.

Manny Stamatakis, Interim Chief Executive Officer commented “our second quarter results continued the positive momentum generated over the past three quarters and we once again delivered strong top and bottom-line growth for Mistras Group. Revenue was up nearly 8% compared to the prior year period, consistent with our expectations for double digit growth in our Aerospace and Defense industry and resilient growth across all other industries. Adjusted EBITDA was up nearly 45% compared to the prior year period, reflecting significant improvement in our operating leverage as a result of our operational and strategic initiatives. I am particularly enthused with the continued progress achieved by our enhanced Commercial function, led by our Chief Commercial Officer Gennaro “Jerry” D’Alterio, which was implemented late in 2023. This enhanced Commercial function has helped refine our go-to-market approach, pricing strategies, contract management, and other key initiatives which have provided a meaningful benefit to our operations. I am also excited for the renewed level of cost discipline under the direction of our Chief Transformation Officer, Hani Hammad, who was hired late in the first quarter of 2024 and who is creating strategies for on-going cost monitoring to further improve our operating leverage.”

Mr. Stamatakis continued, “Gross profit margin improved significantly year over year, and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were reduced on both a sequential and year-over-year basis. We remain focused on further reductions to our cost footprint. Consequently, I am once again reiterating our expectation that fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA will be one of our all-time high-performance years.”

Edward Prajzner, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “the second quarter reflects our third consecutive quarter of high single-digit revenue growth with even faster Adjusted EBITDA expansion, clearly illustrating our commitment to meeting our goals set out in our operational and strategic initiatives. The Company’s bottom line growing significantly faster than the top line once again demonstrates the margin accretive actions and significant operating leverage improvements that we have instituted into our business model. We expect these actions to continue to generate attractive bottom-line returns and also provide funds to continue to reinvest in our high margin growth initiatives, such as Data Analytical Solutions and the Aerospace and Defense industry. This is an exciting time for Mistras, and the entire organization is focused on capitalizing on the unique growth opportunities in our markets.”

For the second quarter of 2024, consolidated revenue was $189.8 million, a 7.8% increase. Revenue growth in the second quarter of 2024 was led by strong growth in our two largest end markets, including a 17.5% increase in Aerospace and Defense revenue and a 3.0% increase in Oil & Gas as a result of the anticipated robust Spring turn around season. Revenue across all industries was up in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the prior year period.

Second quarter 2024 gross profit increased 12.9% to $56.1 million, with gross profit margin expanding 140 basis points. The improvement in gross profit margin to 29.6% was primarily due to improved operating leverage, lower healthcare claims expense in the second quarter, and strong growth in our higher margin Aerospace and Defense industry.

SG&A in the second quarter of 2024 was $41.0 million, down 1.3% compared to $41.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 and was also down 0.6% sequentially from the first quarter of 2024, as a result of the ongoing cost containment activities. SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was down 2.6% compared to the prior year period, and the Company remains focused on decreasing costs throughout the year to reduce SG&A to approximately 21% of full year 2024 revenue by the end of the year.

The Company reported net income of $6.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the prior year period. Second quarter net income excluding special items (non-GAAP) was $6.8 million or $0.21 per diluted share excluding special items (non-GAAP) as compared to $1.4 million of net income excluding special items or $0.05 per diluted share excluding special items in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $22.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $15.3 million in the prior year period, an increase of 44.6%. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $38.3 million compared to $25.7 million in the prior year period, an increase of 48.8% primarily attributable to a more favorable sales mix and overhead cost containment.

Performance by certain segments during the second quarter was as follows:

North America segment second quarter 2024 revenue was $156.4 million, up 7.5% from $145.6 million in the prior year period. The revenue increase was primarily due to strong revenue growth of 21.4% achieved in the Aerospace and Defense industry. For the second quarter of 2024, gross profit was $44.3 million, compared to $39.7 million in the prior year period. Gross profit margin was 28.3% for the second quarter of 2024, a 100 basis point increase from 27.3% in the prior year period. This increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to improved sales mix in the current year period and lower healthcare claims expense.

International segment second quarter 2024 revenue was $34.3 million, up 13.2% from $30.3 million in the prior year period. This revenue growth was primarily due to increased turnaround projects and higher activity levels than in the prior year comparable quarter, in addition to low double digit Aerospace and Defense revenue growth. International segment second quarter 2024 gross profit grew by 19.9% to $10.1 million, with gross profit margin of 29.4%, compared to 27.7% in the prior year period, a 170-basis point increase, primarily attributable to improved operating leverage and the implementation of strategic price increases.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
The Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $5.1 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to $18.3 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was negative $6.9 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to positive $7.7 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in working capital related to the timing of customer invoicing and an increased accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2024, due to the timing of projects and billings in the second quarter of 2024. Capital expenditures increased by $1.4 million in the first six months of 2024 compared to the prior year period.

The Company’s gross debt was $199.7 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $190.4 million as of December 31, 2023 and $198.4 million as of March 31, 2024. The increase in gross debt during the period was attributable to the cash flow impacts described above. The Company’s net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $182.5 million as of June 30, 2024.

2024 Outlook
The Company reaffirms the 2024 full year guidance previously provided, that being:

1. Full year Revenue between $725 and $750 million
2. Adjusted EBITDA between $84 and $89 million*
3. Free cash flow between $34 and $38 million
   

* Note that the Company’s original Adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2024 anticipated an incremental year over year Gross Profit benefit of $3 million, and SG&A benefit of $12 million due to Project Phoenix initiatives. Based upon the Company’s implementation of Project Phoenix, it has validated this cost savings of $15 million in aggregate. However, this benefit is now revised to be $7 million of Cost of Revenue reduction and $8 million SG&A savings in fiscal 2024. Therefore, although the Company will still realize a $15 million aggregate improvement to Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 attributable to these items, there will be a change in the distribution of the savings between Cost of Revenue and SG&A. However, this change will have no net impact on the Company’s outlook for fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial 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 are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that we believe provide investors and management with supplemental information relating to the Company’s operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to trends and projected information. The term "Adjusted EBITDA" used in this release is a financial measurement not calculated in accordance with GAAP and is defined by the Company as net income attributable to MISTRAS Group, Inc. plus: interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, 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, reorganization and related charges and, if applicable, certain additional special items which are noted. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) as computed under GAAP is set forth in a table attached to this press release. The Company also uses the term “free cash flow”, a non-GAAP financial measurement the Company defines as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). The Company additionally uses the terms: “Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) from Operations (GAAP) to Income (Loss) from Operations before Special Items (non-GAAP)”, “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)” which reconciles the non-GAAP amounts to the GAAP financial measurement. The tables also include the term “net debt”, a non-GAAP financial measurement the Company defines as the sum of the current and long-term portions of long term debt, less cash and cash equivalents. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measurements to GAAP are also set forth in tables attached to this press release. Each of these non-GAAP financial measurements has material limitations as a performance or liquidity measure and should not be considered alternatives to Net Income (Loss) or any other measurements derived in accordance with GAAP. Because Income (loss) from operations before special items and other non-GAAP financial measurements used in this press release may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, these measurements may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measurements used by other companies.
