PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., Oct. 8, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mistras Group, Inc. (NYSE:MG), a leading "one source" global provider of technology-enabled asset protection solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which ended August 31, 2013. During the first quarter, the Company had revenue of $135.8 million, an increase of 20% compared to revenue of $113.4 million for the prior year period. Net income for the first quarter was $5.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share compared to net income of $4.3 million or $0.15 per diluted share in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA* was $16.0 million in the quarter compared to $15.5 million in the prior year period. The first quarter of fiscal 2014 includes a favorable acquisition adjustment of $2.1 million (pre-tax). First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Financial Highlights: Sotirios Vahaviolos, Mistras Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Although difficult economic conditions persist in Europe and South America, along with guarded capital spending in the U.S., we are encouraged by signs of improvement in the U.S. Services market." "We were very pleased to see our revenues in the Oil & Gas industry increase a healthy 21% in the quarter from the prior year and organic growth of 16% by our Services segment. All indications are showing that maintenance spending for the North American Oil & Gas industry is expected to continue to increase for the next several years, driven by the need for improved safety oversight and meeting current and new environmental regulations. This, combined with significant new global contract awards that included evergreens in the Oil & Gas, Chemical and Power Generation industries, provides the support that Mistras is poised for a strong fiscal 2014." Dr. Vahaviolos also added, "from an operational structure perspective, we continue to reengineer our management and businesses practices globally, ensuring that we are creating and delivering value for our customers and Mistras. Management believes that the Services improvements will be followed by similar results in the International Segment." Outlook and Guidance for Fiscal 2014 The Company is affirming its previously issued guidance for fiscal 2014 revenues to be in the range of $570 million to $600 million and Adjusted EBITDA* to be in the range of $74 million to $80 million. The Company does not provide quarterly guidance, but expects to update its annual guidance at least quarterly.
