Transcat Reports Record First Quarter Results on 23% Revenue Growth and Solid Gross Margin Expansion

  • Consolidated revenue of $47.8 million up 22.8% from prior year
  • Service segment revenue grew 20% and gross margin expanded 540 basis points to 31.8%; organic revenue grew 16.6%
  • Distribution segment revenue grew 27% and gross margin expanded 260 basis points to 23.6%
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $6.1 million, up 75% from prior year

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 first quarter ended June 26, 2021 (the “first quarter”) of fiscal year 2022, which ends March 26, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”). Results include the previously reported acquisitions of Bio Tek Services, Inc. (“Bio Tek”) effective December 16, 2020 and Upstate Metrology (“Upstate”) effective April 29, 2021.

“The start to our fiscal year 2022 was very strong and allowed us to achieve record first quarter revenue, gross margin, operating income and EBITDA,” commented Lee D. Rudow, President and CEO. “Our Service segment continued to perform at a high level, growing revenue 20% and increasing gross margin 540 basis points from the prior-year period. We reported 16.6% organic revenue growth as our highly-regulated end markets, including life sciences, remained strong, and we compared against a COVID-19 impacted prior year quarter. Our gross margin improvement was driven by operating leverage on our fixed costs from the strong organic growth and to a lesser degree continued strong technician productivity”

“We were also pleased with the sequential improvement in our Distribution business, with first quarter revenue increasing 27% on improving order trends and an easier comparison against a prior-year period that was significantly impacted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, our Service segment performance drove first quarter consolidated operating income of $3.7 million, exceeding our expectations and increasing $2.7 million from prior year.”

Mr. Rudow added, “Cash flow from operations in the first quarter was in line with our expectations and our balance sheet remains strong. We recently announced an amendment to our credit facility which favorably updates certain terms and increases our available revolving line of credit from $40 million to $80 million to support future growth investments and a robust acquisition pipeline.”

Consolidated revenue increased 22.8% to $47.8 million. Consolidated gross profit was $13.5 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 43.7%, while gross margin expanded 410 basis points due to strong performance in both the Service and Distribution segments. Operating expenses increased $1.4 million, or 16.4%, driven by incremental expenses from acquired businesses, investments in technology and higher performance-related employee costs. Net income per diluted share increased to $0.49 from $0.11.

Service segment revenue increased 20.0% to a record $27.6 million and included $0.8 million of incremental revenue from acquisitions. Organic revenue growth was 16.6% and was driven by improvement in end market conditions, continued market share gains and an easier comparison over the prior-year quarter, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Continued strong technician productivity and operating leverage on fixed costs resulted in an increase of Service gross margin by 540 basis points over prior year.

Distribution segment revenue and margins rebounded in the first quarter

Balance Sheet Highlights

At June 26, 2021, the Company had $27.9 million available for borrowing under its secured revolving credit facility. Total debt of $22.2 million was up $2.6 million from fiscal 2021 year-end. The Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, was 0.96 at June 26, 2021, compared with 0.94 at March 27, 2021.

On July 7, 2021, the Company amended its revolving credit facility to include a $40.0 million increase in borrowing capacity, a reduced LIBOR floor on its revolving line of credit borrowings, a reduced interest rate on its Term Loan and certain financial covenant modifications, among other customary provisions.

Outlook

Mr. Rudow concluded, “The results of the first quarter were excellent and we are pleased with the continued strong performance of our Service segment and improving trends in our Distribution segment. We have a strong balance sheet, sustainable Service segment gross margins and an active M&A pipeline. We are confident that the strength of our unique value proposition and our new customer pipeline positions us well for continued strong organic growth.

“For the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we expect Service organic growth to be similar to what we achieved in the first quarter. We expect more modest improvement in Service gross margin than we have experienced over the last several quarters, largely due to a more difficult technician productivity comparison versus the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Distribution is expected to achieve high teens growth in the second quarter on improved order trends and a prior-year comparison that includes lower levels of demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Transcat revised its fiscal year 2022 income tax rate to a range between 16% and 18% from the previous estimated range of 20% to 22%. This estimate includes Federal, various state, and Canadian income taxes and reflects the discrete tax benefit associated with share-based payment and stock option activity.

The Company anticipates total capital expenditures to be approximately $7.5 million to $8.5 million in fiscal 2022, with the majority of the capital expenditures planned for growth-oriented opportunities within both operating segments.

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, restructuring expense, and non-cash loss on sale of building), 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, and stock-based compensation expense, 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 the attached Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table below.
