Management Commentary
Natalia Shuman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter results show continued progress against the transformation we outlined under Vision2030. We generated $193.1 million in revenue, delivered $25.8 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter, achieved significantly improved free cash flow with an increase of $23.9 million quarter-over-quarter, and continued to position the business around higher-growth, higher-value end markets. Q2 also marked the fourth consecutive quarter of mid-single-digit revenue growth, a notable benchmark that underscores MISTRAS becoming a more diversified, more technology-enabled, and less cyclical company.

“We are continuing to see favorable demand trends, particularly in the Aerospace & Defense (A&D), Infrastructure, and Power Generation end markets, which we expect to support growth through the remainder of the year as we continue to navigate a dynamic Oil & Gas market. Within A&D, demand is temporarily outpacing capacity, supported by a healthy backlog, strong customer relationships, and the mission-critical nature of the work, and we are investing meaningfully to expand capacity in our in-lab testing operations, with a particular focus on automation and throughput with a target to increase capacity. Both Infrastructure and Power Generation end markets are capitalizing on continued investment in data center construction and broader energy infrastructure, particularly as customers require quality assurance, inspection, commissioning support, and asset integrity expertise across increasingly complex projects.”

“Entering the second half of 2026, we remain focused on improving operational execution, driving efficiency, and enhancing cash flow and working capital performance. We expect to generate meaningful free cash flow while continuing to invest in the capacity, people, and capabilities needed to support long-term growth."

Second Quarter and First Half 2026 Financial Results

Net income was $7.6 million in the second quarter, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the prior year comparable period. Second quarter net income excluding special items (non-GAAP) was $9.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to net income excluding special items (non-GAAP) of $5.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the prior year comparable period.

In the first half of 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $17.7 million, an increase from $3.6 million of net cash used by operating activities in the prior year period, largely due to significantly expanded net income and improved working capital timing.

Free cash flow (non-GAAP) was $3.7 million in the first half of 2026, compared to negative $15.9 million in the prior year comparable period, attributable to the same favorable factors impacting the Company's operating cash flow. The Company expects free cash flow to continue to expand over the remainder of 2026.

The Company’s gross debt was $172.1 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $178.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and $181.4 million as of March 31, 2026. The decrease in gross debt during the period was attributable to the positive impacts to cash flow described above. The Company’s net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $150.1 million as of June 30, 2026.

The Company’s trailing 12-month total consolidated debt leverage ratio as defined in the Company's credit agreement was 2.2x as of June 30, 2026, which represents the Company’s lowest leverage ratio since 2018, which is well within the total consolidated debt leverage ratio of 3.75x required under its credit agreement.

The Company’s capital allocation strategy remains focused on the use of residual free cash flow to pay down debt to a targeted 2x leverage ratio by the end of 2026, as well as continue to make capital investments into higher growth, higher value areas as governed by the strategic plan.

2026 Outlook Guidance Raised
The Company is increasing its full-year guidance to $740.0 million to $755.0 million in revenue and $92.0 million to $95.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA.

This reflects continued strength in its strategic growth markets, partially offset by a lower level of activity in its volatile Oil & Gas end market, attributable to ongoing macro environment factors including higher crude oil prices The Company continues to see favorable demand trends, particularly in its Aerospace & Defense and Infrastructure end markets, which it expects to support growth throughout the remainder of the year.

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, other income, 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 "free cash flow", 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. The non-GAAP financial performance measure "Income (loss) from operations before special items” is used for each of our three operating segments, the Corporate segment and the "Total Company". Income (Loss) from operations before Special Items excludes: (a) transaction expenses related to acquisitions, such as professional fees and due diligence costs, (b) the net changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities, (c) impairment charges, (d) reorganization and other costs, which includes items such as severance, labor relations matters and asset and lease termination costs and (e) other special items such as environmental expense and legal settlement and insurance recoveries. These adjustments have been excluded from the GAAP measure because these expenses and credits are not related to our or any individual segment's core business operations. The acquisition related costs and special items can be a net expense or credit in any given period. 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.

Consolidated Revenue by type was as follows:

⁽¹⁾ For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense within Reorganization and other costs of $0.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense within Reorganization and other costs of $1.5 million. No share-based compensation expense was recognized within Reorganization and other costs related to RSU awards for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026.

⁽¹⁾ For the three months ended June 30, 2025, 375,000 shares, related to stock options and 877,000 shares, related to restricted stock units were anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, 6,000 shares related to RSUs were anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, 106,000 shares, related to stock options and 867,000 shares, related to restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to the net loss for the period.
