EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY - RANDY J. MARTINEZ, INTERIM PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

"During my first two months as MTS' Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, I have seen firsthand the critical role we play in building global infrastructure, supporting decarbonization efforts, and driving success for our customers. I am inspired by how our employees have continued this vital work during the last quarter despite the global pandemic.

Throughout the third quarter, we acted decisively to mitigate COVID-19's impact on our business. We strengthened our financial position through restructuring and cost reduction initiatives, temporary curtailments in cash compensation for our Board of Directors and senior executives, and the suspension of dividend payments. More recently, we amended our revolving credit facility to maximize our liquidity position under our current capital structure. Importantly, we executed these initiatives while maintaining a safe work environment for our employees and business continuity for our customers.

We experienced softer demand as the pandemic forced many customers to temporarily shut down their operations and delay orders. This was partially offset by top-line contributions from our recent acquisition of the R&D entities in Denmark, which have shown strong momentum since the transaction was completed early in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020.

As we look to the fourth quarter, we expect to sustain our performance sequentially while recognizing improvements in our order profile. Despite continuing challenges posed by the pandemic, we remain confident that our differentiated technology, industry-leading engineering, deep customer relationships, global footprint and strong talent pool will drive future growth.

Our top priority remains protecting the well-being of our employees while providing a high-quality service to our valued customers. I am committed to executing on our strategic initiatives and returning MTS to strong profitability."

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE 2020 THIRD FISCAL QUARTER

Revenue

Revenue was $196.2 million, down 15.5% compared to the same prior year period, due to declines in Test & Simulation and Sensors. Both businesses were negatively impacted by COVID-19 due to the closure of customer sites, travel restrictions and delayed customer spending. Test & Simulation revenue decreased primarily due to a decline in volume from softness in our ground vehicles and materials sectors, coupled with lower service volume. The decline was partially offset by top-line contributions from the acquisition of the R&D entities in Denmark (R&D) of $14.1 million, which was completed early in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Sensors revenue declined due to softness in all sectors except our test sector, which included the addition of Endevco, which closed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, and continued U.S. Department of Defense volume growth. Importantly, we had no material cancellations of orders or backlog in the third quarter.

Orders

Test & Simulation orders for the quarter were $80.9 million, down 22.1% compared to the same prior year period primarily driven by lower orders in our ground vehicles sector and lower services orders reflecting the global impact of COVID-19. The decrease was partly offset by the addition of wind energy orders from the acquisition of R&D.

Sensors orders for the quarter were $70.3 million, down 8.5% compared to the same prior year period primarily driven by lower orders in our position, industrial and systems sectors reflecting the global impact of COVID-19. The decrease was partially offset by growth in our test sector primarily driven by additional funding associated with the U.S. Department of Defense and the addition of orders from the acquisition of Endevco.

Backlog

Backlog remained strong at $451.4 million, which reflects an increase of 1.8% compared to the same prior year period. Sequentially, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, backlog was down 9.7% driven by revenue realized during the third quarter outpacing order bookings. Ending backlog for Test & Simulation and Sensors was $373.3 million and $78.1 million, respectively.

Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share

GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.23 compared to $0.70 in the same prior year period on net income of $4.4 million and $13.6 million, respectively. The $0.47 decrease was primarily driven by a decline in gross profit as the result of lower revenue volume in both businesses reflecting the impact of COVID-19. Additionally, we had higher Test & Simulation restructuring costs from actions taken in the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2020 to manage and reduce operating costs, higher interest expense on increased debt levels, the R&D contingent consideration fair value adjustment and higher acquisition-related costs due to the R&D and Endevco acquisitions. The decline was partially offset by lower compensation expense in both businesses, cost containment measures and a reduction in the effective tax rate which includes $0.08 of discrete tax benefits in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020.

Third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and 2019 results include $0.21 and $0.01, respectively, of non-recurring costs associated with restructuring actions taken in fiscal year 2020, the R&D contingent consideration fair value adjustment, acquisition-related expenses, and E2M and Endevco acquisition inventory fair value adjustments. R&D was acquired early in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, and E2M and Endevco were acquired in the first and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2019, respectively. Adjusting for these items, adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.44 for the third quarter of fiscal 2020, and $0.71 for the same period in the prior year. A reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, to diluted earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided in Exhibits B and C of this earnings release.

Our diluted earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share include the amortization of purchased intangible assets of $0.26 and $0.18 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and 2019, respectively. We incurred pre-tax amortization expense of $6.3 million ($5.0 million post-tax) and $4.4 million ($3.5 million post-tax) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and 2019, respectively, in relation to companies that we have acquired.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA declined to $28.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, down 18.5% compared to the same prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in gross profit from lower revenue in both businesses reflecting the impact of COVID-19, partially offset by lower compensation expense and cost containment measures. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided in Exhibit D of this earnings release.

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic Update

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption resulting in an adverse impact on all facets of our business. We have taken swift action to mitigate impact and solidify our financial position. We are currently operating in all markets we serve as permitted, and our production capacity continues to recover as jurisdictions ease work restrictions throughout the world. However, restrictions on our employees' ability to access our customers, temporary closures of customer facilities and delays in customer spending have negatively impacted our sales and operating results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. Given the evolving nature of the pandemic, at this time, we cannot forecast with reasonable accuracy the pace of recovery across our end markets during the fourth quarter.

Cost Reductions and Restructuring Actions

As mentioned in our second quarter earnings release, we have taken swift cost reduction actions to provide an increased level of flexibility during these challenging times. We previously stated that we expect to realize at a minimum $10.0 million in cost savings from these actions in the second half of fiscal year 2020 and we have met or slightly exceeded the savings target for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. We expect to see at least the same amount for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 allowing us to achieve or slightly exceed our overall target of $10.0 million in cost savings.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

During the quarter, our total debt balance decreased $5.5 million to $595.1 million as we continue to pay-down our outstanding debt balance. We ended the quarter with $65.1 million of cash on the balance sheet, leading to a net debt balance of $530.0 million. The ratio of interest-bearing debt to Adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of net interest-bearing debt to Adjusted EBITDA remain in full compliance with the debt covenant levels specified in our debt agreements and debt maturities not occurring until July 2023 and August 2027. On July 30, 2020, subsequent to quarter end, we amended our revolving credit facility to provide operational and financial flexibility as we navigate COVID-19 and continued macroeconomic uncertainty.

"Our recently amended credit facility has allowed us to nearly double our total liquidity position to approximately $180 million before considering any letters of credit," said Brian Ross, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Our financial position is sound, further supported by free cash flow generation during the third quarter. We remain focused on our financial priorities, including maximizing liquidity and effectively managing our cost infrastructure, and we will continue to engage our lenders to support our financial flexibility to navigate the near-term environment and position us to return to growth as the market recovery takes hold."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We believe that disclosing adjusted diluted earnings per share, which is diluted earnings per share excluding the impact from restructuring expenses, acquisition-related expenses and the acquisition inventory fair value adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of operating performance. We use this as one measure to monitor and evaluate operating performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a financial measure that does not reflect United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We calculate this measure by adding back the after-tax effect of the restructuring expenses, acquisition-related expenses and the acquisition inventory fair value adjustment to net income and dividing the result by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

We believe that disclosing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), EBITDA excluding the impact from stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses, acquisition-related expenses and the acquisition inventory fair value adjustment (Adjusted EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue (Adjusted EBITDA margin) are useful to investors as a measure of leverage and operating performance. We use these measures to monitor and evaluate leverage and operating performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are financial measures that do not reflect GAAP. We calculate EBITDA by adding back interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense to net income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses, acquisition-related expenses and the acquisition inventory fair value adjustment to EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

We believe that disclosing free cash flow is useful to investors as a measure of operating performance. We use this measure as an indicator of our strength and ability to generate cash. Free cash flow is a financial measure that does not reflect GAAP. We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and businesses, net of cash acquired, plus cash proceeds from sales of property and equipment.

Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, not as a substitute for or better than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the components of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in Exhibits B, C, D and E of this earnings release.
