We are well positioned for profitable growth in 2026, driven by growing demand and our strong track record.”

Manny Stamatakis, Executive Chairman: “The Board fully supports management’s ongoing investment strategy in digital inspection, specialized talent, and accreditation for high-complexity aerospace and defense work. We see 2026 as a pivotal year to accelerate our strategy and deepen our technical differentiation.”

Strategic and Operational Updates

Reclassification of Overhead and Personnel Expenses: The company reclassified \$5.5 million (Q4) and \$20.9 million (FY25) from SG&A to cost of revenue, with no impact on income from operations, net income, or Adjusted EBITDA.
2026 Outlook: Mistras will provide formal guidance during its scheduled conference call. The company will focus on further investments in data integrity, digital inspection, and high-value markets.
Debt Reduction: Management reiterated that reducing debt remains a priority for free cash flow allocation.
Risks: The company highlighted continued risks related to customer concentration in oil and gas, geopolitical instability, climate change, ability to attract talent, and other operational and market uncertainties.

Potential Price-Sensitive Factors for Investors

Record Adjusted EBITDA and Margin Expansion: The achievement of record profitability metrics and ongoing margin improvement may positively influence investor sentiment and share valuation.
Operational Cost Initiatives: While reorganization costs were elevated, these are tied to ongoing efficiency and recalibration efforts that could enhance future profitability.
Lower Free Cash Flow: The significant decrease in free cash flow due to higher working capital and capex may be viewed negatively, but management attributes this to timing and strategic investments.
Debt Level and Leverage Ratio: While gross debt has increased, the net leverage remains well within covenants, and continued debt reduction could be a positive catalyst.
Strategic Investments for 2026: The company’s stated intent to deepen investments in digital and high-complexity solutions could position Mistras for accelerated growth in regulated and mission-critical sectors.
Segment and End-Market Diversification: Continued expansion in Aerospace & Defense, Infrastructure, and Industrial sectors reduces reliance on Oil & Gas and supports long-term growth prospects.

Conference Call Details

Mistras will hold a conference call on March 5, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. EST to discuss these results and provide further guidance for 2026. Investors can access the webcast and participate in Q&A via the Investor Relations section of the company’s website.
