Manny Stamatakis, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors commented “I want to reflect on the life of Dr. Sotirios J. Vahaviolos, the Company’s Founder, Chairman Emeritus, and a Director on the Board of Directors, given his passing nearly one month ago on February 6, 2025. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire MISTRAS family I want to express our profound appreciation for the immeasurable contributions Dr. Vahaviolos made to our Company, our shareholders, and the communities we serve. A visionary leader and pioneer in the field of non-destructive testing (“NDT”) and acoustic emission (“AE”), Dr. Vahaviolos founded MISTRAS (originally Physical Acoustics Corporation) in 1978, and dedicated over four decades to building the Company into a global leader in testing, inspection, and asset protection solutions. His expertise, leadership, and commitment to excellence were instrumental in shaping the Company’s strategic direction and fostering a culture of innovation that remains at the core of MISTRAS today. His legacy will endure and live on as we move MISTRAS forward in his memory. Our Products and Systems segment, along with our NDT and AE services will remain essential competencies at the core of MISTRAS, enabling the Company to deliver on its overall mission and purpose.”

Mr. Stamatakis continued, “the Company’s consolidated fourth quarter results exceeded our annual revised guidance, with the bottom line expanding significantly, demonstrating the margin accretive actions that we have instituted into our business model. On a full year basis, revenue was up in all reported segments and across all of our industries that we serve, illustrating the increasing diversity of our growing end markets. Adjusted EBITDA was up over 25% versus the prior year, reflecting significant improvement in our operating leverage, and our Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 200 basis points over the prior year.

Our income from operations of $39.8 million for the full year 2024 was the highest level for this metric since 2016. I am also pleased with our fourth consecutive quarter generating Net Income growth, which was a function of continued annual revenue growth, gross profit expansion, and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) reduction. I am extremely confident in the future of MISTRAS, and I will remain involved in overseeing the strategic path forward for the new invigorated senior leadership team, led by our new President and Chief Executive Officer, Natalia Shuman.”

Ms. Shuman commented, “I am honored to be leading MISTRAS into its next phase of growth, building on our strong foundation and driving meaningful value for all our stakeholders. I have spent my first sixty days on the job, actively talking to customers, being in the field at our In-house Laboratories meeting with employees, as well as discussing strategy with Manny, the Board of Directors and other stakeholders. Given the Company’s strong partnerships with our valuable customers, leading technologies, and committed management team, which come together to create a solid foundation that aligns with our long-term vision, I am very excited for our prospect of continued profitable growth heading into 2025 and beyond.”

Edward Prajzner, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “due to our improved results and operating leverage, we generated $25.7 million of operating cash flow and $20.8 million of free cash flow during the fourth quarter. We used this cash flow to pay down $20.1 million of bank borrowings during the fourth quarter, and our bank defined leverage level dropped to below 2.5X as of December 31, 2024. We continue to fund our organic growth initiatives, including our investment in capital expenditures, with our operating cash flow, strengthening our capabilities and footprint to better support our customers.”

Full year 2024 consolidated revenue was $729.6 million, a 3.4% increase. Revenue increased in all reported segments and across all industries served in 2024, led by strong performance in the Aerospace and Defense industry, which experienced a substantial revenue increase of 13.0% on a full year basis to $87.0 million.

Full year 2024 gross profit increased to $213.1 million compared to the prior period, with gross profit margin expanding 30 basis points. The increase in gross profit margin to 29.2% was primarily due to the strong growth in our Aerospace and Defense industry business, which has higher margins.

SG&A for the full year 2024 was $156.4 million, down 6.2% compared to $166.7 million in 2023, as a result of ongoing cost calibration discipline. SG&A for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was 21.4% of revenue, a 220 basis point reduction from the prior year period.

Reorganization and other costs were $5.5 million for full year 2024, compared with $12.3 million in the prior year period. These costs were incurred to facilitate the Company’s cost containment and recalibration of our initiatives.

The Company reported net income of $19.0 million, or $0.60 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024. Full year 2024 net income excluding special items (non-GAAP) was $22.7 million or $0.72 per diluted share excluding special items (non-GAAP).

Adjusted EBITDA was $82.5 million for the full year 2024 compared to $65.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of 25.3%. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to a favorable business mix and overhead cost containment initiatives.

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

North America segment fourth quarter 2024 revenue was $136.9 million, down 7.5% from $148.0 million in the prior year period. The revenue decrease was primarily due to the anticipated decrease in revenue in the Oil & Gas industry as a result of a moderate Fall turnaround season in 2024. For the fourth quarter of 2024, gross profit was $38.9 million, compared to $42.9 million in the prior year period. Gross profit margin was 28.4% for the fourth quarter of 2024, a 60 basis point decrease from the prior year period. This decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to an unfavorable sale mix.

International segment fourth quarter 2024 revenue was $35.0 million, up 3.6% from $33.8 million in the prior year period. Our International segment revenue increased each quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year periods, with an increase of 9.3% on a full year basis. International segment fourth quarter 2024 gross profit was $10.1 million, with a gross profit margin of 29.0%, compared to 27.7% in the prior year period. On a full year basis, our International segment 2024 gross profit was $39.8 million, an increase of $6.2 million, or 18.5%, over the prior year period, with gross profit margin increasing to 29.3% in 2024 from 27.0% in 2023. This 230-basis point increase was primarily attributable to improved operating leverage and a favorable business mix.

Products and Systems segment experienced a strong growth in profitability with a 5.2% increase in revenue to $13.7 million for full year 2024 compared to $13.0 million in 2023, and an 840.1% increase in income from operations to $2.5 million in 2024 compared to $0.3 million in 2023. This success was driven by cost reductions and efficiency improvements.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
The Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $50.1 million for the full year 2024, compared to $26.7 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $27.1 million for full year 2024, compared to $3.1 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to significantly improved financial results in 2024 and improvements in working capital management, particularly an accounts receivable reduction despite the higher level of revenue. Capital expenditures were fairly consistent year over year, at $23.0 million for full year 2024 compared to $23.6 million in the prior year period. The Company is continuing to invest in efficiency opportunities including internal workflow automation, and productivity enhancements.

The Company’s gross debt was $169.6 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $190.4 million as of December 31, 2023, a decrease of $20.8 million. The decrease in gross debt year over year was attributable to the favorable cash flow impacts described above. The Company’s net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $151.3 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $172.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

2025 Outlook
The Company is not providing full year guidance for fiscal 2025 at this juncture and will continue to review its entire portfolio with a focus on continuing to grow Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share, and to improve margins. Additionally, the US Dollar to Euro exchange rate strengthened since the Company set its budget for 2025, and this unanticipated foreign exchange translation (“FX”) risk could unfavorably impact actual revenue translation in 2025. The Company believes this FX risk will be essentially neutral on Adjusted EBITDA margin and other profitability metrics. Nevertheless, the Company will be assessing this FX risk, as well as the potential impact of the recently announced U.S. foreign tariffs on its business and financial results for fiscal 2025. Once this evaluation is complete, the Company anticipates releasing guidance for fiscal 2025, with the goal of driving profitable growth.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
Certain statements contained in this press release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the impacts of foreign currency exchange risks and recently announced U.S. foreign tariffs on our business and financial results, costs savings and other benefits we expect to continue to realize from our previously announced Project Phoenix initiatives and additional operational and strategic actions that we expect or seek to take in furtherance of our strategies and activities to enhance our financial results and future growth. Such forward-looking statements relate to MISTRAS' financial results and estimates, products and services, business model, Project Phoenix initiatives, operational and strategic initiatives to improve operating leverage, 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 11, 2024, as updated by our reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.

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 measure 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 other costs 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 measure 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 Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP) and Diluted EPS Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP)” which reconciles the non-GAAP amounts to the GAAP financial measure. This press release also includes the term “net debt”, a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company defines as the sum of the current and long-term portions of long term debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are also set forth in tables attached to this press release. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as a performance or liquidity measure and should not be considered alternatives to Net Income (Loss) or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Because Income (loss) from operations before special items and other non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, these measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
