Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On August 5, 2020, Mistras Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) issued a press release announcing the financial results for our second quarter, which ended June 30, 2020.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In the press release attached, the Company uses the terms “Adjusted EBITDA”, “free cash flow” and "net debt", which are not measures of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Also, in the tables to the press release, the non-GAAP financial measures "Segment and Total Company Income before Special Items” and "Diluted EPS excluding Special Items", are presented and reconciled to financial measures under GAAP.  Information about these non-GAAP measures are included in the press release.

Our management uses these non-GAAP measurements as a measure of operating performance and liquidity to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are also performance evaluation metrics used to determine incentive compensation for executive officers.

We believe 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 and liquidity on a consistent basis and measure underlying trends and results of the Company's business. Adjusted EBITDA and Segment and Total Company Income before Special Items assist in evaluating our operating performance because they remove the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. For instance, Adjusted EBITDA generally excludes interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization, each of which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and the book value and age of assets, capital structure, capital investment cycles and the method by which assets were acquired. It also eliminates stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense and is excluded by management when evaluating the underlying performance of our business operations.

Our management uses free cash flow when evaluating the performance of our business operations. This measurement also takes into account cash used to purchase fixed assets needed for business operations which are not expensed. We believe this measurement provides an additional tool to compare cash generated by our operations on a consistent basis and measure underlying trends and results in our business.

While Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are terms and financial measurements commonly used by investors and securities analysts, they have limitations. As non-GAAP measurements, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows have no standard meaning and, therefore, may not be comparable with similar measurements for other companies. Similarly, segment and total company income before special items and diluted EPS excluding special items has no standard meaning and may not be comparable to measurements for other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are generally limited as analytical tools because they exclude charges and expenses we do incur as part of our operations as well as cash uses which are included in a GAAP cash flow statement. In addition, free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since items such as debt repayments are not deducted in determining such measurement.

None of these non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., August 5, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mistras Group, Inc. (MG: NYSE), a leading “one source” global provider of technology-enabled asset protection solutions, reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

•Cash from operations of $28.8 million, an increase of 122%

•Free cash flow of $25.5 million, an increase of 284%

Highlights of the First Half 2020*

•Free cash flow of $27.2 million, an increase of 199%

•Capital expenditures of $7.6 million, a decrease of 36%

•Gross profit margin of approximately 29%, equal to that of last year

•Selling, general and administrative expenses reduction of $4.5 million

* All comparisons are consolidated and versus the equivalent prior year period, unless otherwise noted.

** Net debt equals Gross Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s net loss was $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with net income of $7.4 million the prior year period. The Company generated adjusted EBITDA of $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with $24.0 million in the prior year period. The Company generated $28.8 million of cashflow from operations and $25.5 million of free cashflow flow in the second quarter of 2020, compared with $12.9 million of cashflow from operations and $6.7 million of free cash flow in the prior year period.

Chief Executive Officer Dennis Bertolotti stated, “Results for the second quarter demonstrate the value of our asset light business model and its ability to generate strong cash flow. Cash from operations more than doubled from a year ago, which enabled us to have a record setting quarter of debt reduction as we aggressively deleverage our balance sheet. As we anticipated, second quarter revenues were down from a year ago in what we still believe is likely to be this years’ trough quarter, primarily due to the slowdown in inspection activity resulting from our clients’ prioritization of safety precautions precipitated by the rapid onset of COVID-19, as well as more cautionary customer budgeting. Although revenues were down, our gross profit margins were at the highest quarterly level in over five years, as numerous cost measures implemented to address current market conditions significantly improved efficiency and productivity. The reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses accelerated sequentially from the first quarter, as the cost control actions undertaken late in the first quarter were fully realized in the second quarter.

“Year-to-date, we have worked hard to maintain our gross profit margin at the same 29% level as in the first half of 2019, despite the significant decrease in revenues. Robust operating cashflow remains paramount for Mistras at $34.9 million for the first six months of 2020, representing one of the key strengths of our business model. Free cashflow in the second quarter alone was $25.5 million, enabling us to pay off $18.8 million of bank debt during the second quarter. Hence, Mistras continues to maintain the liquidity it needs to fund operations through the current market down cycle. We remain optimistic about our plan to generate expanding adjusted EBITDA sequentially in the second half of 2020 over the first half, and maintain positive operating cashflow in the second half of 2020, enabling us to continue to further decrease our total outstanding debt by year end.”

“Stabilization in the crude oil markets and the continuing relaxation of certain stay-in-place mandates are allowing some of our energy industry customers to start projects in the third quarter that were delayed earlier in the year. While it is still extremely difficult to forecast with any degree of certainty, we still believe our markets will progressively improve in the third and fourth quarter. We built momentum at the end of the second quarter which has continued into the third quarter of 2020. As such, we expect a high-teen up to 20% sequential improvement in revenues during the third quarter over the second quarter of 2020. Our plan is to exit fiscal 2020 on a growth trajectory heading into next year.”

“It has been proven many times, that necessity is the driver for dramatic improvements and innovation. We believe the current pandemic is one of those periods wherein industrial companies look at new and innovative ways of performing their work. Mistras believes its customers will be looking for partners with a more sophisticated approach to assist them in condensing their supplier lists and searching for better business intelligence. This is our strategy, knowing that we can apply these tenets not only into our existing customer base, but also new customers or market segments we target in the future.”

Performance by key segments during the quarter was as follows:

Services segment second quarter revenues were $100.7 million, down 37.5% from the year ago quarter, consistent with the slowdown in energy markets and timing of projects due to COVID-19. For the second quarter, gross profit margins were 33.7%, up from the year-ago quarter of 29.3%, an increase of approximately 440 basis points, due to a favorable mix, coupled with ongoing cost saving initiatives and Canadian wage subsidies.

International segment second quarter revenues were $21.3 million, down 42.5% from the year ago quarter, consistent with the anticipated slowdown in European aerospace, continued runoff of the European staff leasing business, timing of projects due to COVID-19 and unfavorable FX translation. International segment second quarter gross profit margin was 25.3%, down from 29.8% in the year ago quarter, due to lower utilization.

The Company’s net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $216.8 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $239.7 million at December 31, 2019. Gross debt decreased by $15.3 million during the first six months of 2020, from $254.7 million at the end of the year to $239.4 million at June 30, 2020.

The Company generated $34.9 million of cash flows from operations in the first half of 2020, compared with $21.1 million in the year ago period. Free cash flow was $27.2 million in the first half of 2020, compared with $9.1 million in year ago period. Free cash flow benefitted from a reduction in cash paid for capital expenditures, interest expense and income taxes. Cash on-hand was $22.6 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of $7.6 million from December 31, 2019.

The Company’s net loss was $101.2 million in the first half of 2020, compared with net income of $2.1 million the prior year period, due primarily to the after-tax $92.1 million non-cash impairment charges recorded during the first quarter of 2020. The Company generated adjusted EBITDA of $16.9 million in the first six months of 2020, compared with $36.7 million in the prior year period.

Outlook for the Second Half of 2020

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company’s two largest markets, Oil & Gas and Aerospace. Nevertheless, the Company anticipates a high-teen up to 20% sequential improvement in revenues for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter, but down from the year ago quarter. While it is extremely difficult to forecast with any degree of certainty at this time, the Company believes that consolidated revenue in the second half of 2020 will be higher than the first half of 2020, with a progressive improvement in adjusted EBITDA and continuing positive free cash flow in the second half of 2020. This outlook is contingent on continuing macroeconomic stability, including the recent recovery in the crude oil markets and the ongoing relaxation of certain stay-in-place mandates.

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 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 27, 2020, as updated by our reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and MISTRAS undertakes no obligation to update such statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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. In the press release, the Company also uses the term "non-GAAP Net Income", which is GAAP net income adjusted for certain items management believes are unusual and non-recurring. In the tables attached is a table reconciling "Net Income (Loss) (GAAP)" to "Net Income Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP), which reconciles the non-GAAP amount to a GAAP measurement. In addition, the Company has also included in the attached tables non-GAAP measurement” “Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) Before Special Items”, reconciling these measurements to financial measurements under GAAP. The Company uses 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). 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 equivalent.
