Mirion Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Updates Full Year Guidance

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mirion ("we" or the "company") (NYSE: MIR), a global provider of radiation detection, measurement, analysis, and monitoring solutions to the medical, nuclear, defense, and research end markets, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"Third quarter results were in-line with our expectations," stated Thomas Logan, Mirion's Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see revenue growth and margin expansion across both segments, supported by strong underlying super-trends in nuclear power and cancer care. Moreover, excluding the impacts from two large, one-time orders in third quarter 2023, the nuclear power adjusted order book increased 12%. Encouragingly, the spate of nuclear deals announced by hyperscalers in support of the extreme power demands enabling their AI business models should accelerate the development of next-generation nuclear power technology. Our broad strategic relationships with both small modular reactor ('SMR') players and utility-scale nuclear power providers has us well-positioned for future growth."

Logan continued, "Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was 22.1% - an improvement of approximately 180 basis points compared to the same period last year. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of EBITDA margin expansion and reflects the continuous improvement of operating quality across the enterprise."

Updated 2024 Guidance

Commenting on Mirion's full year 2024 guidance, Logan said, "Our third quarter performance keeps us on-track for another strong year. Our expected 2024 performance represents improvements in top-line growth, adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, and further improvements to the balance sheet. We continue to focus on improving our operating efficiency and progressing towards our long-term stated objective of 30% adjusted EBITDA margins."

Mirion is updating components of its guidance for the fiscal year and 12-month period ending December 31, 2024:

• Revenue growth of 6% to 7%, compared to 5% to 7% previously
  • Organic revenue growth of 5% to 6%, compared to 4% to 6% previously
    • Medical LSD organic growth, compared to LSD+ previously
    • Technologies MSD+ organic growth, which is unchanged
  • Inorganic revenue growth of approximately 1.5%, primarily as a result of the ec² acquisition
  • Closure of lasers business expected to negatively impact organic revenue growth by approximately 30 basis points
• Adjusted EBITDA of $195 million to $205 million, which is unchanged
• Adjusted EPS of $0.37 to $0.42, which is unchanged
• Adjusted free cash flow of $65 million to $75 million, compared to $65 million to $85 million previously

The guidance for organic revenue growth excludes the impact of foreign exchange rates as well as mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.

Other modeling and guidance assumptions include the following:

• Depreciation of approximately $34 million for the year
• Net interest expense of approximately $52 million (approximately $50 million of cash interest)
• Effective tax rate between 27% and 29%
• Capital expenditures of approximately $45 million
• Cash taxes of approximately $35 million
• Approximately 205 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding (excludes 6.8 million shares of Class B common stock, 18.8 million founder shares, subject to vesting, 1.7 million restricted stock units, 1.2 million performance stock units and a further 34.4 million shares reserved for future equity awards (subject to annual automatic increases)) (all numbers as of September 30, 2024)
• Euro to U.S. Dollar foreign exchange conversion rate of 1.09
• Cash non-operating expenses of approximately $10 million
• Stock-based compensation of approximately $12 million

The Company's guidance contains forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially as a result of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those set forth below under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements." In addition, forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in projecting and quantifying the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations, such as stock-based compensation expense, amortization and depreciation expense, merger and acquisition activity and purchase accounting adjustments, that have not yet occurred, are out of Mirion's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations of our guidance for organic and inorganic revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow are not available without unreasonable effort.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Organic revenues is defined as Revenues excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates as well as mergers, acquisitions and divestitures in the period.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency gains and losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, changes in the fair value of warrants, certain non-operating expenses (restructuring and costs to achieve operational synergies, merger, acquisition and divestiture expenses and IT project implementation expenses), stock-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment and income tax impacts of these adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.

Adjusted net income is defined as GAAP net income adjusted for foreign currency gains and losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, changes in the fair value of warrants, certain non-operating expenses (restructuring and costs to achieve operational synergies, merger, acquisition and divestiture expenses and IT project implementation expenses), stock-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment and income tax impacts of these adjustments.

Adjusted EPS is defined as adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted.

Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow adjusted to include the impact of cash used to fund non-operating expenses. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to free cash flow applied in presenting adjusted free cash flow is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our cash flows that management utilizes on an ongoing basis to assess our ability to generate cash for use in acquisitions and other investing and financing activities.

Free cash flow is defined as U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities adjusted to include the impact of purchases of property, plant, and equipment, purchases of badges and proceeds from derivative contracts.

Net leverage is defined as Net Debt (debt minus cash and cash equivalents) divided by Adjusted EBITDA plus contributions to Adjusted EBITDA if acquisitions made during the applicable period had been made before the start of the applicable period.

Operating Metrics

Order growth is defined as the amount of revenue earned in a given period and estimated to be earned in future periods from contracts entered into in a given period as compared with such amount for a prior period. Foreign exchange rates are based on the applicable rates as reported for the time period.

Adjusted order growth (decline) is defined as order growth (decline) adjusted to exclude large, one-time orders and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.

The following tables present reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods.
