Insights

Financial Analyst

Transcat's financial results for Q4 and fiscal 2024 highlight durable growth and significant margin expansion. One standout aspect is the 13% organic growth in the Service segment, driving gross margin up by 170 basis points. For retail investors, this signals a robust core business and effective integration of acquisitions.

On the Distribution side, a gross margin of 30.3% reflects improved end market demand and a favorable sales mix. The 50.1% surge in Adjusted EBITDA indicates operational efficiency and strong execution.

Transcat's cash flow generation is another highlight. With $32.6M in operating cash flow and a significant reduction in debt, the company shows healthy liquidity and strategic balance sheet management.

Looking ahead, recurring revenue streams in highly regulated markets and a growing rentals business position Transcat well for sustainable growth. However, investors should note the 11.6% rise in operating expenses, driven by incremental costs from acquisitions and investments in technology. While these are aimed at supporting future growth, they will need to be monitored for maintaining profitability targets.

Market Research Analyst

Transcat's strategic focus on highly regulated end markets, such as life sciences, underscores its ability to tap into reliable revenue streams. This aligns with the broader industry trend where companies serving regulated markets enjoy consistent demand despite economic cycles. The company’s successes in these markets are likely to be a key driver of its long-term financial health.

The $24.6M increase in service revenue for the full year, coupled with acquisitions like TIC-MS and SteriQual, expands Transcat’s market reach. This diversified portfolio not only enhances cross-sell opportunities but also cushions against market volatility.

However, retail investors should be cognizant of potential integration risks associated with acquisitions. While Transcat boasts an effective integration process, the real test lies in sustaining synergies and delivering on expected cross-sell benefits over time.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Transcat, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNS) (“Transcat” or the “Company”), a leading provider of accredited calibration services, cost control and optimization services, and distribution and rental of value-added professional grade handheld test, measurement, and control instrumentation, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended March 30, 2024 (the “fourth quarter”) of fiscal year 2024, which ends March 30, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”). Results include the previously reported acquisitions of TIC-MS, Inc. ("TIC-MS") effective March 27, 2023, SteriQual, Inc. ("SteriQual"), effective July 12, 2023 and Axiom Test Equipment, Inc. (“Axiom”), effective August 8, 2023. Transcat operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year, ending the last Saturday in March. In a 52-week fiscal year, each of the four quarters is a 13-week period. In a 53-week fiscal year (which occurs once every five or six years), the last quarter is a 14-week period. Fiscal 2024 consisted of 53 weeks while the fiscal year 2023 consisted of 52 weeks.

“We are extremely pleased with our fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2024 results as double-digit organic Service revenue growth and increased productivity drove Service gross margin expansion while Distribution gross margins soared due to growth in Rentals,” commented Lee D. Rudow, President and CEO. “Adjusted EBITDA growth of 30% for the fourth quarter reflects our ability to leverage organic Service revenue growth and the successful integration of acquired companies. Fourth quarter Consolidated revenue was up 14% with gross margin expansion of 300 basis points year over year driven by our widened breadth of service offerings, excellent performance in the higher-margin rental business, and execution of automation and process improvement initiatives. Service segment revenue grew 18% in the fourth quarter as demand in highly regulated end markets, including life sciences, remained strong and our differentiated value proposition continues to resonate throughout Transcat’s expanded addressable markets.”

Mr. Rudow added, “In the fiscal year we completed three acquisitions, TIC-MS, SteriQual, and Axiom Test Equipment that have expanded our addressable markets, widened the breadth of offerings, and allowed us to leverage our existing infrastructure. The key differentiator of the Transcat acquisition strategy is the effectiveness of our integration processes enabling new acquisitions to very quickly be accretive to the overall company. In addition to strong returns, the acquisitions present compelling cross-sell synergies to drive organic calibration service growth and rental sales into these newly acquired customer bases. On a final note, we are extremely excited about our recent rental acquisition, Becnel Rental Tools, which closed just after the end of the fiscal year. Becnel is a well-run business, with great customer relationships, which will differentiate our higher margin rental portfolio and will in time provide significant opportunities for cross-selling of Transcat’s products and services.”

Total revenue was $259.5 million, an increase of $28.9 million or 12.5%. Consolidated gross profit was $83.8 million, up $15.5 million, or 22.6%, and gross margin expanded to 32.3% or 270 basis points. Consolidated operating expenses were $64.0 million, an increase of $11.9 million, or 22.9%, driven by incremental expenses from acquired businesses (including stock-based compensation expense), increased intangibles amortization expense, and investments in technology and our employee base to support future growth. As a result, consolidated operating income was $19.8 million compared with $16.2 million in last fiscal year’s period, an increase of 21.7%.

Adjusted EBITDA was $38.6 million which represented an increase of $8.2 million or 26.9%. Net income per diluted share increased to $1.63 from $1.40 and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $2.36 versus $1.93 last year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Overview

On March 30, 2024, the Company had $35.2 million of cash and marketable securities on hand and $80.0 million available for borrowing under its secured revolving credit facility. Total debt of $4.2 million was down $44.9 million from fiscal 2023 year-end due to cash proceeds from our secondary stock offering. The Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, was 0.10 on March 30, 2024, compared with 1.60 on March 25, 2023.

Outlook

Mr. Rudow concluded, “The Transcat team continues to deliver strong revenue growth and sustainable gross margin expansion as can be seen over the past decade and a half of profitable growth. As we think ahead into fiscal 2025, our business will continue to benefit from recurring revenue streams in highly regulated end markets, including life sciences, along with a growing Rentals business that performs well throughout various economic cycles. We expect another year of organic Service revenue growth in the high single-digit to low double-digit range when normalized for the extra week in fiscal 2024 and gross margin expansion. Automation of our calibration processes and overall process improvement will continue to be key enablers of future margin expansion.”

“We continue to be proud of our work on the leadership development front. We couldn’t be happier with our new COO Mike West; his performance has been stellar and impactful since taking over the role. Likewise, we are promoting John Cummins to lead the significant new growth opportunity Transcat Single Source Solution (TS3). TS3 is a comprehensive value proposition, full suite of services, sold to high level decision makers for new capital projects and existing operations, and a critical next step towards integration of NEXA's Cost, Control and Optimization services with the Transcat calibration business. The NEXA earnout agreement accrual has been reversed and converted to an incentive program associated with this new and expanded role. On a final note, we are very proud to announce Jim Jenkins was offered and accepted the role as CEO of Lakeland Industries. Jim has been our General Counsel for the last four years and we would like to thank him for his contributions to Transcat.”

“The Service segment has substantial runway ahead for growth, both organically and through acquisition. Our robust acquisition pipeline should enable strategic, accretive acquisitions that drive synergistic growth opportunities and will be a key component of our go-forward strategy. Transcat has a diverse portfolio designed to generate high returns for years to come. We believe strong execution, paired with several strategic acquisitions, will drive significant gains in the market and across key business channels. Our investments in leadership development, automation, and process improvement have made Transcat a stronger company and we are well positioned to continue to generate sustainable long-term shareholder value.”

Transcat expects its income tax rate to range between 24% and 26% in fiscal 2025. This estimate includes Federal, various state, Canadian and Irish income taxes and reflects the discrete tax accounting associated with share-based payment awards.

NOTE 1 – Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, we present Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, non-cash loss on sale of building and restructuring expense), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company’s management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the performance of its core operations from period to period by removing the impact of the capital structure (interest), tangible and intangible asset base (depreciation and amortization), taxes, stock-based compensation expense and other items, which is not always commensurate with the reporting period in which it is included. As such, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance when evaluating its business segments and as a basis for planning and forecasting. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies. See pages 10 and 11 for the Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation tables.

In addition to reporting Diluted Earnings Per Share, a GAAP measure, we present Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (net income plus acquisition related amortization expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, acquisition related stock-based compensation, acquisition amortization of backlog and restructuring expense; divided by the average diluted shares outstanding during the period), which is a non-GAAP measure. Our management believes Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is an important measure of our operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for the GAAP measure of Diluted Earnings Per Share and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies. See page 12 for the Adjusted Diluted EPS Reconciliation table.
