PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., Aug. 02, 2023 (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 second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023.

*    All comparisons are consolidated and versus the equivalent prior year period, unless otherwise noted.
** Foreign currency (“FX”) exchange impact is calculated by converting current period financial results in local currency, using the prior period exchange rates, and comparing this amount to the current period financial results in local currency using the current period exchange rate.

For the second quarter of 2023, consolidated revenue was $176.0 million, a 1.7% decrease, including the unfavorable impact of $0.7 million of FX exchange. The second quarter revenue decline was primarily attributable to a decrease in workload associated with a delayed Defense contract and decreases in the Power Generation industry related to project timing, which more than offset strong growth in the Commercial Aerospace industry, OnStream Pipeline InLine Inspection (“ILI”) business, and Data Solutions offerings. Second quarter 2023 gross profit decreased 7.2% with gross profit margin declining 170 basis points, as compared to the year ago period. The gross margin decrease was primarily due to increased European energy costs and deleveraging of fixed costs due to revenue levels, partially offset by improved sales mix in the current quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the second quarter of 2023 were $41.5 million, up from $40.9 million in the second quarter of 2022, in part due to aforementioned unfavorable FX exchange. Second quarter SG&A was down sequentially from the first quarter of 2023, as a result of on-going budgeted cost controls.

The Company generated net income of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to net income of $4.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $18.3 million in the prior year, a decrease of 16.4%, primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue and gross profit. The year-to-date 2023 net loss was $4.6 million, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA of $25.7 million which was an increase of 7.9% over the prior year period, primarily attributable to a favorable change in sales mix.

Cost Savings Implementation

As announced in February 2023, the Company has been exploring ways to improve profitability and Adjusted EBITDA, through meaningful margin improvement and steps to achieve sustained cost savings.   The Company has completed the initial phase of this project, which it refers to as Project Phoenix, wherein efficiency and profitability opportunities were identified.   The Company is now undertaking the next phase of validating actionable initiatives, which can then be implemented prospectively.   The Company will provide an update at the end of the third quarter of 2023, after further progress is made towards achievement of such opportunities.  

The Company has already taken certain actions in 2023 which are expected to yield annualized cost savings of approximately $6.2 million, of which approximately $5.1 million are expected to be realized in 2023. Most of these cost savings are related to the Company’s North America operations and are related to a reduction in overhead functions classified within the SG&A line. Approximately $4.5 million of the $5.1 million savings anticipated to be achieved in 2023 were budgeted for, and hence were included in the Company’s original Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2023.

Chief Executive Officer Dennis Bertolotti commented, “Although we continue to generate revenue growth in many of our key markets, the impact of decreased activity under one of our Defense contracts offset these gains at a consolidated level. Hence, total revenue was down marginally, adjusted for the effect of FX exchange. However, heading into the second half of 2023, we expect Adjusted EBITDA will improve year over year despite revenue being lower than initially anticipated. We have implemented cost-saving initiatives via specific actions, many of which are expected to improve performance in our legacy Oil and Gas business.

There were also several bright spots related to revenue growth drivers in the second quarter of 2023. In particular, West Penn, a key shop laboratory business which specializes in Aerospace, reported an all-time record revenue quarter. Additionally, OnStream, our ILI pipeline testing business, achieved its best second quarter revenue in its history. The OnStream growth was driven by a record quarter for its US business, which increased revenue by over 75% for the first half of 2023, compared to the prior year period. Within Data Solutions, our PCMS/New Century business also experienced growth in the quarter, driven by continued customer adoption of its predictive analytics via OneSuite. There was also progress achieved in strengthening our financial position, with strong cash flow, and a significant reduction in days sales outstanding, which contributed to a further reduction in our outstanding debt.”

Mr. Bertolotti continued, “In the second half of the year, we will continue to seek additional, incremental benefits from Project Phoenix, expanding upon what we have already implemented in cost reduction efforts during the first half of 2023. We will continue to improve operating efficiency, which will contribute to an improved bottom line result. We also anticipate that second half revenue will be stable, with modest growth over the comparable prior year period, but with an expanded improvement in Adjusted EBITDA due to a favorable sales mix shift and on-going cost controls.”

Mr. Bertolotti concluded, “Our cash flow remains strong, and I am pleased with the investments that we have made in 2023 related to our higher growth businesses via increased capital expenditures, which will further our expansion in key growth markets. As a result of our cost savings initiatives and the growth in our high margin businesses, I am optimistic that Mistras is positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for our offerings, accelerating our transition to profitable growth.”

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

North America segment (Referred to as “Services” in prior filings) second quarter revenue was $145.6 million, down 2.7% from $149.5 million in the prior year quarter but down 1.9% when adjusting for unfavorable foreign currency exchange. The revenue decline was primarily due to a decrease in workload under a Defense contract and decreases in Power Generation project timing, which offset the strong growth achieved in our West Penn, OnStream and other Data Solutions related businesses. For the second quarter, gross profit was $39.7 million, compared to $43.0 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin was 27.3% for the second quarter of 2023, a 140 basis point decline from 28.7% in the second quarter of the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to unabsorbed overhead costs associated with lower revenue levels, partially offset by improved sales mix in the current year period.  

International segment second quarter revenue was $30.3 million, up 2.3% from $29.6 million in the prior year quarter and up 0.7% excluding the impact of favorable FX exchange. This revenue growth was primarily due to increased turnaround projects than in the prior year comparable quarter. International segment second quarter gross profit margin was 27.7%, compared to 31.9% in the prior year, a 420-basis point decrease, primarily attributable to inflationary pressures including rising energy and incremental subcontractor costs.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
The Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $18.3 million for the first six months of 2023, compared to $7.8 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was $7.7 million for the first six months of 2023, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year. The Company’s improved cash flow performance was primarily attributable to an improvement in days sales outstanding during the current year. Capital expenditures increased by $3.5 million versus the first six months of 2022, as the Company is increasing investments to foster revenue growth.

The Company’s gross debt was $183.7 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $191.3 million as of December 31, 2022. Gross debt decreased by $5.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, from $189.3 million as of March 31, 2023, to $183.7 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company’s net debt was $165.7 million as of June 30, 2023.

Reorganization and Other
For the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded $1.2 million of reorganization costs related to on-going efficiency and productivity initiatives, primarily related to overhead cost savings. For the quarter, these charges included professional fees and certain restructuring charges associated with changes made in the Company’s organizational structure. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $3.3 million of total reorganization costs. The actions taken in the first half of this year are expected to contribute $5.1 million to Adjusted EBITDA in the current year, of which $4.5 million was expected and budgeted for in the Company’s original outlook for 2023.

Outlook
The Company is updating its guidance ranges, to reflect current market conditions and the Company’s focus on profitable growth and cost savings. Revenue for the full year 2023 is now expected to be between $700 and $720 million, due primarily to reductions in legacy Oil and Gas revenue particularly the Downstream sub-category. Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be between $68 and $71 million. The Company has already taken certain actions in 2023 which are expected to yield annualized cost savings of approximately $6.2 million, of which approximately $5.1 million is expected to be realized in 2023 and had been budgeted for, and hence was included in the Company’s original guidance for 2023. Operating cash flow will be adversely impacted by certain cash expenses to achieve cost savings. The Company’s Free Cash Flow guidance is being adjusted to between $23 and $25 million due to the reduction in the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance and higher than anticipated Capital Expenditures of over $20 million. The Free Cash Flow guidance excludes the aforementioned impact of certain cash expenses to achieve cost savings.

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, 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 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) from Operations before Special Items (non-GAAP)", “Net Loss (GAAP) and Diluted EPS (GAAP) to Net Loss Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP) and Diluted EPS Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP)” which reconciles the non-GAAP amounts to GAAP measurements.
