Exhibit 99.1
Mistras Group Inc. Strong 3rd Quarter Results Demonstrate Continued Growth in Revenues and Profits.
Revenue increases 31%, Adjusted EBITDA* Increases 28%
PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., April 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mistras Group, Inc. (NYSE:MG—News), a leading “one source” global provider of technology-enabled asset protection solutions, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2012 third quarter ending February 29th.
Revenue for the third quarter was $104.1 million, an increase of 31% over the $79.2 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusted EBITDA*, a non-GAAP measure detailed later in this release, increased 28% to $13.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 versus $10.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, which includes charges for acquisition related expenses of $0.8 million and a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million, was $3.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, a 24% increase compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 with the adjustments detailed in the attached reconciliation schedule, including those mentioned above, grew 51% to $3.7 million or $0.13 per diluted share, versus $2.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Consistent with prior quarters, organic growth was a significant contributor to the revenue gain. In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the organic growth rate was 17%, followed by acquisition growth of 15% and the balance due to foreign currency fluctuations. Also consistent with prior quarters, the revenue growth in the third quarter was achieved across a broad range of target markets.
Additional Financial Highlights for the Fiscal 2012 Third Quarter and Nine Month periods:
| • | In the first nine months of fiscal 2012, revenues grew 31% to $309.8 million, and adjusted EBITDA grew 32% to $45.9 million. |
| • | Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $14.2 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, a 46% increase over the first nine months of fiscal 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2012, with the adjustments detailed in attached reconciliation schedule, grew 47% to $14.6 million or $0.51 per diluted share, versus $9.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share in the prior year. |
| • | Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 grew 41% to $25.6 million versus $18.2 million in the prior year. Operating income margins in the first nine months of fiscal 2012 increased to 8.3% of revenues versus 7.7% in the prior year. |
| • | SG&A as a percent of revenues declined in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2012, declining to 19.2% of revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, versus 19.9 % in the prior year. |
| • | Gross profit margins in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 were consistent with the same period in the prior year. |
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Sotirios J. Vahaviolos stated that “I am pleased with the continued momentum of our business in the third quarter, where we achieved significant revenue growth across all of our market segments, and once again delivered organic revenue growth in the mid-teens.” He then continued, “During the third quarter we closed several small, but strategic acquisitions in France, the U.K. and Canada that are strengthening our presence abroad and will be in alignment with our business model, capable of delivering outsourced inspection evergreen type work.”
Business Outlook/Guidance for Fiscal Year 2012
The Company’s outlook is for continued double digit growth in revenue and Adjusted EDITDA*. Based on the results of the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company is adjusting its previously issued guidance and now projects its fiscal 2012 revenues to be in the range of $415 million to $420 million and Adjusted EBITDA* to be in the range of $66 million to $68 million.

* Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The term “Adjusted EBITDA” and the adjustments to net income and to earnings per share are financial measurements not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company believes that investors and other users of the financial statements benefit from the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and these adjustments to net income and earnings per share 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. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to financial measurements under GAAP are set forth in tables attached to this press release.
