Transcat Reports Strong Second Quarter Results on

Double-Digit Organic Service Growth and Expanding Gross Margins

ROCHESTER, NY, October 30, 2023 – Transcat, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNS) (“Transcat” or the “Company”), a leading provider of accredited calibration, repair, inspection and laboratory instrument services and value-added distributor of professional grade handheld test, measurement, and control instrumentation, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended September 23, 2023 (the “second quarter”) of fiscal year 2024, which ends March 30, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”).  Results include the previously reported acquisitions of TIC-MS, Inc. ("TIC-MS") effective March 27, 2023, SteriQual, Inc. ("SteriQual"), effective July 12, 2023 and Axiom Test Equipment, Inc. (“Axiom”), effective August 8, 2023.

“We are extremely pleased with our strong second quarter results as Service gross margin expanded 140 basis points driven by double-digit organic Service growth of 10% and increased productivity throughout our network of labs. Service segment revenue grew 17% as demand in our highly regulated end markets, including life sciences, remained strong and our recent acquisitions continued to perform at a high level. Consolidated revenue was up 11% with gross margin expansion of 230 basis points year over year driven by our differentiated value proposition and execution of our automation and process improvement initiatives” commented Lee D. Rudow, President and CEO. “Adjusted EBITDA growth of 24% for the second quarter reflects our ability to leverage organic Service revenue growth and the successful integration of acquired companies. The Transcat Team continues to deliver strong revenue growth and sustainable gross margin expansion.”

“We recently completed a public offering of our common stock, which was used to repay our credit facility, for working capital, and for other general corporate purposes. The successful offering displayed robust demand for Transcat stock among institutional investors due to our consistent long-term track record of profitable revenue growth” stated Mr. Rudow.

Mr. Rudow added, “Transcat’s differentiated and proven formula for success with acquisitions centers around our disciplined and selective approach to identify, acquire, and integrate strong companies that will be accretive over the long term, the Transcat way. We completed two acquisitions in the second quarter, including SteriQual, a provider of expert consulting services to the life sciences industry that specializes in commissioning, qualification, and validation (“CQV”), as well as Axiom Test Equipment, the largest acquisition in the history of Transcat. Axiom is a well-established, fast-growing player in the test equipment rental market that will expand our existing Rental offering. We believe Axiom will create opportunities for accelerated growth while improving the margin profile of our Distribution segment as the rental business continues to grow faster than the traditional distribution business. The two rental businesses are complementary to one another in that there is minimal overlap in the rental asset portfolios, as well as little overlap in customers. We believe this presents a compelling cross sell opportunity to quickly leverage in the rental business, but more importantly provides additional opportunity to drive organic calibration service growth into this newly acquired customer base.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Review
(Results are compared with the second quarter of the fiscal year ended March 25, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”))

Consolidated revenue was $62.8 million, an increase of 11.3%. Consolidated gross profit was $20.1 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 20.0%, while gross margin expanded 230 basis points due to improvements in both operating segments. Operating expenses were $18.5 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 40.6%, driven by incremental expenses from acquired businesses (including stock-based compensation expense), higher incentive-based employee costs due to higher sales and a non-cash charge related to the amended NEXA Earn-Out agreement. Adjusted EBITDA was $9.3 million which represented an increase of $1.8 million or 23.9%. Net income per diluted share was $0.06 compared to $0.31 last year, which includes the non-cash charge of $2.8 million for the amended NEXA Earn-Out agreement. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.60 versus $0.44 last year impacted by the stock-based tax benefit move from Q1 of last year to Q2 this year and higher interest expense.

Service segment delivers strong second quarter results

Represents the accredited calibration, repair, inspection and laboratory instrument services business (66.0% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2024).

Service segment revenue was $41.4 million, an increase of $6.2 million or 17.5%, and included $2.6 million of incremental revenue from acquisitions.  Organic revenue growth was 10.0% and was driven by strong end-market demand and continued market share gains. The segment gross margin increased 140 basis points from prior year primarily due to continued productivity improvements offset by increased start-up costs from new client-based lab implementations.

Distribution segment shows continued margin improvement

Represents the sale and rental of new and used professional grade handheld test, measurement and control instrumentation (34.0% of total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2024).

Distribution sales were $21.4 million, relatively flat compared to the prior year.  Distribution segment gross margin was 28.3%, an increase of 340 basis points due to a favorable sales mix driven by strength in the Rentals business.

Six Month Review (Results are compared with the first six months of fiscal 2023)

Total revenue was $123.4 million, an increase of $12.3 million or 11.1%.  Consolidated gross profit was up $6.0 million, or 18.4%, and gross margin expanded to 31.5% or 200 basis points.  Consolidated operating expenses increased $7.0 million, or 27.3%, driven by incremental expenses from acquired businesses, (including stock-based compensation expense), increased intangibles amortization expense, investments in technology and our employee base to support future growth, and a non-cash charge related to the amended NEXA Earn-Out agreement. As a result, consolidated operating income was $6.3 million compared with $7.2 million in last fiscal year’s period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $17.8 million which represented an increase of $3.0 million or 20.0%. Net income per diluted share decreased to $0.43 from $0.71 and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.13 versus $0.98 last year. The effective tax rate was 25.3% compared to 16.9% in the prior year, due to the discrete tax treatment of the non-cash charge related to the amended NEXA Earn-Out agreement. The increase in the tax rate had an unfavorable impact of $0.01 per diluted earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share when compared to the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Overview

On September 23, 2023, the Company had $32.0 million available for borrowing under its secured revolving credit facility.  Total debt of $53.3 million was up $4.2 million from fiscal 2023 year-end due to cash used for acquisitions, partially offset by increased cash flow from operations.  The Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, was 1.37 on September 23, 2023, compared with 1.60 on March 25, 2023. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the revolving credit facility was paid off using funds from the secondary offering. As previously disclosed, the NEXA Earn-Out agreement was amended to recognize the expanded scope of the NEXA portfolio, which includes the acquisition of SteriQual. The amendment required a non-cash charge of $2.8 million in the fiscal second quarter.

Outlook

Mr. Rudow added, “We have demonstrated our ability to drive growth through various economic cycles over the past decade and a half, and we are confident that will continue. We expect organic Service revenue growth in the high-single digit to low double-digit range and gross margin expansion for the fiscal 2024 year. We believe our unique value proposition drives a sustainable competitive advantage in the highly regulated markets that we serve, particularly the Life Science, Aerospace, and Defense markets. Additionally, we expect our successful and unique acquisition strategy will continue to drive synergistic growth opportunities and expand our addressable markets.”

Transcat expects its income tax rate to range between 24% and 26% in fiscal 2024. This estimate includes Federal, various state, Canadian and Irish income taxes and reflects the discrete tax accounting associated with share-based payment awards. The tax rate is higher than in recent years and is an increase versus the estimate provided last quarter due to the amended NEXA Earn-Out agreement. The NEXA Earn-Out charge is non-deductible for tax purposes and impacts the full year rate for fiscal year 2024, however this does not impact the actual amount of taxes paid.

NOTE 1 – Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, we present Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, non-cash loss on sale of building and restructuring expense), which is a non-GAAP measure.  The Company’s management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the performance of its core operations from period to period by removing the impact of the capital structure (interest), tangible and intangible asset base (depreciation and amortization), taxes, stock-based compensation expense and other items, which is not always commensurate with the reporting period in which it is included.  As such, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance when evaluating its business segments and as a basis for planning and forecasting. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure.  Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.  See pages 10 and 11 for the Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation tables.

In addition to reporting Diluted Earnings Per Share, a GAAP measure, we present Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (net income plus acquisition related amortization expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, acquisition related stock-based compensation, acquisition amortization of backlog and restructuring expense), which is a non-GAAP measure.  Our management believes Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is an important measure of our operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP.  As such, it should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for the GAAP measure of Diluted Earnings Per Share and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure.  Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.  See page 12 for the Adjusted Diluted EPS Reconciliation table.
