Mistras Group, Inc. (MG:NYSE), a leading "one source" global
provider of technology-enabled asset protection solutions, reported
financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2016, which
ended November 30, 2015.
Revenues for the second quarter declined
year-on-year by 5.9% to $194.8 million. Excluding the impact of
dispositions and adverse foreign exchange rates, the Company’s
second quarter revenue declined by 1.7%. Revenues for the first six
months of fiscal year 2016 had a small year-on-year increase of
approximately 0.3% to $374.6 million, inclusive of a cumulative
reduction of approximately $18 million, or 4.8%, from the impact of
dispositions and adverse foreign exchange rates.
Net income for the second quarter was $11.4
million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with $10.4 million or
$0.35 per diluted share in the prior year’s second quarter.
Net income for the first six months of fiscal year 2016 was $18.3
million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with $12.1 million,
or $0.41 per diluted share in the prior year’s first six months.
These results represent new record levels for net income and
earnings per diluted share for both the second quarter and first
six months, even though revenues were relatively flat for the first
six months and lower than prior year in the second quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA was $29.1 million, or 14.9% of
revenues in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, compared with
$29.1 million, or 14.1% of revenues, in the prior year’s second
quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $51.3 million, or 13.7% of revenues in
the first six months of fiscal year 2016, compared with $42.5
million, or 11.4% of revenues, in the prior year’s first six
months.
As expected, the Company’s second quarter
year-on-year decline in revenues was driven by the aforementioned
adverse impacts of foreign exchange and dispositions, as well as a
shift in the timing of turnaround work that caused a mid-single
digit organic revenue decline in its Services segment. Organic
growth continued to be strong in the International segment, up
high-single digits, and was modestly positive in the Products &
Systems segment.
Gross profit margins improved to 29.2% in the
second quarter of fiscal year 2016 from the prior year’s 28.5% and
to 28.9% in the first six months from the prior year’s 27.1%. The
second quarter year-on-year improvement was driven by the
International and Products and Systems segments, each of which
improved their gross margins by approximately 400 basis points,
driven by prior year cost reductions, organic sales growth and an
improved sales mix. Services gross margin rate was in line with the
prior year’s second quarter despite sales declining by more than
$10 million.
Operating margin improved to 10.0% for the
second quarter and 8.7% for the first six months of fiscal year
2016, representing year-on-year improvements of 130 basis points
and 280 basis points for the respective three and six-month
periods.
Cash flow from operating activities improved to
$26.5 million in the first half of fiscal year 2016, compared with
$3.2 million in the prior year’s first half, driven by improved
profitability and less drag from working capital, as days sales
outstanding improved by approximately 5 days or 7% compared with
the prior year’s first six months. Net debt was approximately 1.3x
Adjusted EBITDA, down from 1.7x at May 31, 2015.
Performance by segment was as follows:
Services segment revenues for
the second quarter declined by 6.5% year-on-year, as the timing of
turnaround and project-related work coupled with the adverse impact
of a weaker Canadian dollar more than offset a small amount of
acquisition growth. Services revenues for the first six months were
1.8% higher than prior year, driven by a combination of flat
organic growth, plus acquisition growth that more than offset the
adverse impact of foreign exchange.
Services second quarter operating margin of
12.5% included $0.2 million of severance relating to additional
cost reductions and was in line with prior year, despite the
year-on-year revenue decline. Operating margin for the first six
months improved by 170 basis points to 11.9%, driven by improved
utilization of technicians and lower overhead costs.
International segment revenues
for the second quarter declined 6.3%, as high single digit organic
growth was offset by the adverse impact of foreign exchange (-12%)
and dispositions (-2%). International revenues for the first six
months declined by 7.1%, as the combined impact of foreign exchange
and dispositions (-16%) outweighed high single digit organic
growth.
International segment operating income grew by
over 25% year-on-year in the second quarter, despite the revenue
decline. For the second consecutive quarter the Company’s four
largest country operations each had positive operating income,
while gross and operating margins each improved by approximately
400 basis points year-on-year, driven by the combined impact of the
prior year’s cost reduction initiatives, positive organic growth
and an improved sales mix.
Products and Systems segment
revenues for the second quarter improved by 4% year-on-year, while
gross margin improved by over 400 basis points and operating income
more than doubled to 13.5% of sales. For the first six months,
revenues improved by 17%, while gross margin improved by over 400
basis points and operating income improved by $2.1 million.
Sotirios Vahaviolos, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer stated, "I am very pleased that Mistras achieved
record profits in its second quarter even though revenues were
lower as expected due to timing and foreign exchange. It was
extremely encouraging to see our International and Products and
Systems segments continue to improve as a direct result of the
decisive actions we took in our previous fiscal year to improve our
results across all of our business lines.”
Dr. Vahaviolos continued, “Oil and gas market
conditions continue to be turbulent, but the Mistras value
proposition is even more important in these challenging times, and
I am confident that we will gain market share as a result. We are
pleased that we continue to see positive results from our actions,
across our entire global business. We remain committed to servicing
our customers in the world-class fashion that they deserve, while
at the same time generating healthy profits and cash flows that our
shareholders can be proud of.”
Outlook and Guidance for Fiscal
2016
The Company previously established its financial
guidance as follows:
- Revenues increasing from 0% to 2% from prior year, inclusive of
a -3% impact from adverse foreign exchange and dispositions, to
$710 million to $725 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $72 million to $78 million, representing an
increase of from 1% to 9% above prior year levels.
The Company has updated its financial guidance
as follows:
- Revenue range is unchanged. Revenues have been roughly in line
with expectations to date. The Company expects to achieve organic
market share gains in the second half of the fiscal year, however
these gains may be somewhat offset by the continuing impact of
adverse market conditions.
- Adjusted EBITDA range raised; now $79 million to $83 million.
Profits for the first two quarters have exceeded plan, and the
Company now expects Adjusted EBITDA will exceed the original
guidance range, despite the difficult market.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary
Statements
Certain statements made in this press release
are "forward-looking statements" about Mistras' financial results
and estimates, products and services, business model, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year
2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August

* Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The term "Adjusted EBITDA" used in this release
is a financial measurement not calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("US GAAP"). A
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to a financial measurement under
US GAAP is set forth in a table attached to this press release. In
addition, the Company has also included in the attached tables
non-GAAP measurements “EBITDA” and “Segment and Total Company
Income (Loss) from Operations before Acquisition-Related Expense
(Benefit), net”, reconciling these measurements to financial
measurements under US GAAP. The Company also uses the term free
cash flow, a non-GAAP measurement the Company defines as free cash
flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital
expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). The
Company believes that investors and other users of the financial
statements benefit from the presentation of these non-GAAP
measurements because they provide additional metrics to compare the
Company's operating performance on a consistent basis and measure
underlying trends and results of the Company's business.
