What Happened

• Mistras Group, Inc. (MG) announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 in a press release dated May 5, 2026; the release is attached to the Form 8‑K as Exhibit 99.1. The filing highlights the Company’s use of several non‑GAAP measures in that press release, including Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt, income from operations before special items, and Diluted EPS Excluding Special Items, with reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures included in the release.

Key Details

• Filing date: May 5, 2026; reporting period: quarter ended March 31, 2026; press release attached as Exhibit 99.1.
• Non‑GAAP measures disclosed: Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt, segment and total company income (loss) from operations before special items, and Diluted EPS Excluding Special Items. Reconciliations to GAAP are provided in the press release tables.
• Management use: the company says it uses these non‑GAAP metrics for evaluating operating performance, planning/forecasting, and calculating executive incentive compensation.
• Disclosures include standard caution: these non‑GAAP measures have no standardized meaning, may not be comparable to other companies, and should not replace GAAP results.

Why It Matters

• For investors, the 8‑K signals that Mistras is presenting both GAAP results and supplemental non‑GAAP metrics that management prefers for assessing operating performance and liquidity (e.g., Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow). The reconciliations provided let investors compare the adjusted figures to GAAP results, but the filing also warns of limitations and comparability issues. Read the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the reconciliations to understand how the company adjusts its quarterly earnings, revenue and cash‑flow metrics.
