*    All comparisons are consolidated and versus the equivalent prior year period, unless otherwise noted.
** We calculate foreign currency exchange impact by converting our 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 2022, consolidated revenue was $179.0 million, a 0.8% nominal increase, but up 3.2% excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign currency exchange. Second quarter revenue was impacted by project delays in the Company’s oil & gas business, as customers continue to defer projects, associated with high refinery utilization rates due to strong consumer demand. Projects that normally occur in the second quarter are now anticipated to be performed in the third and fourth quarters. This is evident in our Services segment which we expect to approach 2019 revenue levels in the third quarter, driven by the completion of turnarounds and other projects previously scheduled for the first and second quarters of the year.

Second quarter 2022 consolidated gross profit was down slightly compared to the prior year period, with a gross profit margin decline of 120 basis points. This decline was primarily due to higher healthcare costs, the lag in price increases in response to inflationary cost increases and the end of Canadian wage subsidies that were available during the COVID-19 pandemic and are no longer being provided. These adverse factors more than offset the positive impact of a favorable sales mix. The Company anticipates improved gross margin in the second half of 2022, due to increased volumes, a favorable sales mix and reducing the impact of inflationary pressures on gross margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2022 were $40.7 million, up from $39.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the reversal of remaining COVID-19 temporary cost reductions in August of 2021, which were initially implemented in 2020. However, selling, general and administrative expenses were down 3.2% sequentially from the first quarter of 2022 and remain below second quarter 2019 pre-pandemic levels.

For the second quarter of 2022, the Company reported net income of $4.6 million or $0.15 per diluted share.

Chief Executive Officer Dennis Bertolotti commented, “This was our eighth consecutive quarter of revenue growth despite delays in the timing of some oil & gas projects and unfavorable foreign exchange translation. Most of these delays are expected to shift revenue that had been anticipated to be earned in the second quarter, into the third and fourth quarters, effectively reversing our historically seasonal second and third quarter performance and, ultimately, having little effect on our full year expectations.”

“We continue to see strengthening market conditions in the Aerospace and Defense industry which continued in the second quarter, as our revenue in this end market was the highest it has been since the onset of the pandemic. We are seeing significant increases in the commercial aerospace sector which we anticipate will continue to gain momentum through the remainder of the year. The expansion and installation of new equipment and capabilities at our Georgia Aerospace facility is nearly complete, wherein we are expanding our service offerings that help alleviate our customers’ bottlenecks that have arisen during the pandemic and continue to exist in the aerospace supply chains. We are also optimistic for the continuing prospects of the growing private space sector. Additionally, I am very pleased to have Hon. Jay M. Cohen engaged with MISTRAS as an Advanced Technical Solutions Consultant. Retired Rear Admiral Cohen brings an exceptional reputation and over four decades of expertise in science and technology research, and his knowledge and network of industry contacts will enable us to further expand into a robust naval and defense infrastructure sector.”

“We continue to see expansion in our growth initiatives as Onstream, our inline inspection business within the midstream sector, reported its highest ever revenue quarter. We expect to continue to see this trend continuing into the second half of 2022, due to increased production levels and the corresponding transportation and distribution activity, due to high crude oil prices. Our data solutions businesses, including PCMS and New Century Software, also had strong quarters as well. The adoption of OneSuite continues to increase, with over 90 integrated applications having been installed at nearly 40 different customers. This continues to prove to us, and our customers, the versatility and capabilities of OneSuite as it is currently operating at over 150 sites with close to 900 individual subscriptions. OneSuite revenue remains on track to double this year.”

Mr. Bertolotti concluded, “I am looking forward to the second half of 2022, during which the third quarter could be one of our strongest Services segment revenue quarters ever, due in part to the continued rapid growth of our digital solutions service offerings including OneSuite, and the continued recovery and growth of our other end markets as we continue to meet and exceed customer needs. Inflation remains an ongoing challenge, but we are making progress as we actively engage with our customers, and they begin to acknowledge the inevitable cost of an inflationary environment. Our continued focus on improving cost leverage and recovery in markets with higher than corporate average margins has positioned us to have robust consolidated profitability for the remainder of the year. With our recently announced new credit facility, we will enjoy the flexibility to increase our investment in both organic growth initiatives and more closely evaluate acquisitions that meet our strategic objectives. I am very excited about our prospects for growth in both our existing and new markets in 2022 and beyond.”   

Performance by certain Segments:

Services segment second quarter revenue was $149.5 million, up 3.1% from $145.0 million in the prior year quarter. Revenues continue to reflect recovery in the Energy markets. For the second quarter, gross profit was $43.0 million, compared to $43.8 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin was 28.7% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 30.2% in the second quarter of 2021. This decrease of 150 basis points was due primarily to higher healthcare costs in the US and the end of Canadian wage subsidies that were available during the COVID-19 pandemic and are no longer being provided, partially offset by favorable sales mix.

International segment second quarter revenues were $29.6 million, down 7.3% from $32.0 million in the prior year quarter but up 3.7% in local currencies before translation, which represents organic growth, due to increased opportunities in a recovering aerospace market, increased nuclear business, and large projects in the Energy markets. International segment second quarter gross profit margin was 31.9%, compared to 30.1% in the prior year, a 180-basis point improvement attributable to favorable sales mix.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
The Company’s net cash from operating activities was $7.8 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to $18.1 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was $0.7 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to $7.3 million in the prior year.
For the second quarter of 2022, free cash flow was $9.3 million compared to $8.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of 9.4%.

The Company’s net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $181.8 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $178.5 million as of December 31, 2021. Gross debt decreased by $8.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from $208.8 million as of March 31, 2022, to $200.4 million as of June 30, 2022.

Outlook
The Company reaffirms its previously announced outlook for the full year 2022, that being revenue between $695 and $715 million, Adjusted EBITDA between $65 and $69 million and free cash flow between $27 and $30 million. While the second quarter 2022 results were below the Company’s expectations, it is confident in the level of work expected for the second half of 2022, given strong energy markets, improving commercial aerospace demand, robust industrial manufacturing and a rapidly developing Data Solutions offering.

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 and 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 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 measurement 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) before special items (non-GAAP), “Net Income (Loss) (GAAP)" to "Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP)”, and “Diluted EPS (GAAP)” to “Diluted EPS Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP)” which reconciles the non-GAAP amount to a GAAP measurement.
