Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Such forward-looking statements include those that express plans, anticipation, intent, contingency, goals, targets or future development and/or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and projections about future events and they are subject to risks and uncertainties known and unknown that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as "goals," or "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "could," "should," "would," "predicts," "appears," "projects," or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. You are urged not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, any of which may turn out to be wrong due to inaccurate assumptions, various risks, uncertainties or other factors known and unknown. Factors that could cause or contribute to differences in results and outcomes from those in our forward-looking statements, including any impacts from the imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions, changes to the
U.S. trade policy and impacts and uncertainty arising from geopolitical instability and conflicts (including those related to the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine) include, without limitation, those discussed in the "Business-Forward-Looking Statements," and "Risk Factors" sections of our 2025 Annual Report as well as those discussed in this Quarterly Report and in our other filings with the SEC. In addition, there are various developments discussed below which could create risks and uncertainty about our business, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company's core capabilities also include NDT field inspections enhanced by advanced robotics, laboratory quality control and assurance testing, sensing technologies and NDT equipment, asset and mechanical integrity engineering services, and light mechanical maintenance and access services.
Our operations consist of three reportable segments: North America, International, and Products and Systems.
•North America provides asset protection solutions predominantly in North America, with the largest concentration in the United States, followed by Canada, consisting primarily of NDT, inspection, mechanical and engineering services that are used to evaluate the safety, structural integrity and reliability of critical energy, industrial and public infrastructure and commercial aerospace components. Software, digital and data services are included in this segment.
•International offers services, products and systems similar to those of the other segments to select markets within Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America, but not to customers in China and South Korea, which are served by the Products and Systems segment.
•Products and Systems designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services the Company's asset protection products and systems, including equipment and instrumentation, predominantly in the United States.
Given the role our solutions play in enhancing the safe and efficient operation of infrastructure, we have historically provided a majority of our solutions to our customers on a regular, recurring basis. We perform these services largely at our customers' facilities, while primarily servicing our aerospace customers at our network of state-of-the-art, in-house laboratories. These solutions typically include NDT and inspection services, and can also include a wide range of mechanical services, including heat tracing, pre-inspection insulation stripping, coating applications, re-insulation, engineering assessments and long-term condition-monitoring. Under this business model, many customers outsource their inspection to us on a "run and maintain" basis. We have established long-term relationships as a critical solutions provider to many of the leading companies with asset-intensive infrastructure in our target markets. These markets include companies in oil and gas, aerospace and defense, industrials, power generation and transmission (including alternative and renewable energy), infrastructure, research and engineering, petrochemical, and other process industries.
We have focused on providing our advanced asset protection solutions to our customers using proprietary, technology-enabled software and testing instruments, including those developed by our Products and Systems segment. We have made numerous acquisitions in the past in an effort to grow our base of experienced, certified personnel, expand our service lines and technical capabilities, increase our geographical reach, complement our existing offerings, and leverage our fixed costs. We have increased our capabilities and the size of our customer base through the development of applied technologies and managed support services, organic growth and the integration of acquired companies. These acquisitions have provided us with additional service lines, technologies, resources and customers which we believe enhance our advantages over our competition.
We believe long-term growth can be realized in our target markets. Our level of business and financial results are impacted by world-wide macro- and micro-economic conditions generally, as well as those within our target markets. Among other things, we expect the timing of our oil and gas customers' inspection spending to be impacted by fluctuations in oil prices and broader market conditions, including potential geopolitical disruptions and uncertainty arising from conflicts in the Middle East.
We have continued providing our customers with an innovative asset protection software ecosystem through our OneSuite platform. The software platform offers functions of our software and services brands as integrated apps on a cloud environment. OneSuite serves as a single access portal for customers' data activities and provides access to 90 plus applications being offered on one centralized platform.
Recent Developments
Our cash position and liquidity remains strong. As of June 30, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $22.0 million, and we had available borrowing capacity of up to $106.3 million under the revolving credit facility under our Credit Agreement.
On August 5, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its Credit Agreement dated August 1, 2022, with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Amendment extended the maturity date of the Company's $190.0 million revolving credit facility and approximately $90.6 million term loan under the
Mistras Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(tabular dollars are in thousands)
Credit Agreement from July 30, 2027 to July 28, 2028. In connection with the Amendment, the Company incurred an extension fee equal to a total of 0.15% of the aggregate committed amount of the revolving credit facility and term loan held by participating lenders. There were no other changes to the material terms of the Credit Agreement, including the applicable interest rate provisions and financial covenants, which remained substantially unchanged. Refer to Note 11 - Long-Term Debt for more details regarding the terms of the Credit Agreement.
The global trade landscape continues to be highly volatile. During 2025, the U.S. government implemented a series of trade tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from various countries, many of which prompted reciprocal tariffs and other trade measures affecting U.S. exports. The ongoing tariff environment remains complex and continues to evolve as legal proceedings and trade negotiations progress. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"), which the U.S. government relied upon to impose certain tariffs, does not authorize the imposition of tariffs. Following that decision, the U.S. Court of International Trade directed the U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to begin processing refunds of previously collected IEEPA tariffs, and during the second quarter of 2026, CBP commenced accepting and processing refund claims. In response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, the U.S. administration implemented replacement tariffs under alternative statutory authorities, including Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, while also pursuing additional tariff actions under other existing trade authorities. Certain of these replacement tariffs have also been challenged in court, and the related litigation remains ongoing. On July 24, 2026, the U.S. administration announced the implementation of additional tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on imports from numerous trading partners under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Accordingly, the ultimate scope, duration and financial impact of U.S. trade measures remain uncertain. Ongoing changes to trade policies and related uncertainty may affect global economic conditions, supply chains and costs, and may reduce trade between the U.S. and impacted countries. Tariffs and trade barriers have not had a material effect on our business or results of operations during 2026 to date. However, new tariffs or other trade measures could result in increased costs for us or our suppliers and could impact the import of materials by our customers, including materials subject to our inspection and testing services, which could adversely affect demand for our services.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the conflict involving the U.S. and Iran, have contributed to increased volatility in global energy markets and broader macroeconomic uncertainty. The conflict has increased uncertainty surrounding global energy supplies, international shipping routes and supply chains, contributing to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices and increased costs for certain materials and transportation. Fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices may influence capital spending and maintenance activity by customers in the oil and gas sector, which could affect demand for certain of our services, particularly field inspection and asset integrity solutions. Additionally, continued instability in the Middle East could contribute to supply chain disruptions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and delays in customer projects. While we have not experienced material impacts to date, the situation remains dynamic, and we continue to monitor developments and assess potential impacts on our operations, financial condition, and results of operations.
Note About Non-GAAP Measures
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In this MD&A under the heading "Income from Operations", the non-GAAP financial performance measure "Income from operations before special items" is used for each of our three operating segments, "Corporate and Eliminations" and the "Total Company", with tables reconciling the measure to a financial measure under GAAP. This presentation excludes from "Income from Operations" (a) reorganization and other costs, which includes items such as severance, labor relations matters and asset and lease termination costs and (b) environmental expense, which relates to costs associated with the environmental matter at the Phoenix lab operated by Mistras Arizona, as described in Note 13 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report. These adjustments have been excluded from the GAAP measure because these expenses and credits are not related to our or any individual segment's core business operations. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations. We believe investors and other users of our financial statements benefit from the presentation of this non-GAAP measure in evaluating our performance. Income from operations before special items excludes the identified adjustments, which provides additional tools to compare our core business operating performance on a consistent basis and measure underlying trends and results in our business. Income from operations before special items is not used to determine incentive compensation for executives or employees, nor is it a replacement for the reported GAAP financial performance and/or necessarily comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. Any measure that eliminates the foregoing items has material limitations as a performance measure and should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Because Income from operations before special items may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, this measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Three Months
In the three months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue increased 4.2% versus the prior year comparable period due predominantly to a low-single-digit organic increase driven by increases in the aerospace and defense, power generation and transmission, infrastructure, research, and engineering, and petrochemical end markets. North America segment revenue increased 5.8%, driven predominantly by the aerospace and defense, power generation and transmission, infrastructure, research, and engineering, and process industries end markets as a result of strong market demand. International segment revenue decreased 2.7%, due predominantly to a mid-single-digit organic decrease driven by lower market demand. The decrease was partially offset by a low-single-digit favorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Products and Systems segment revenue increased by 43.0%, due to increased sales volume and shipments as compared to the prior year comparable period.
Oil and gas customer revenue comprised approximately 49% and 55% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Aerospace and defense customer revenue comprised approximately 14% and 13% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

In presenting the allocation of revenue by type in the table above, management makes certain assumptions in its allocation of revenue from laboratories that provide more than one type of service. The allocation methodology and assumptions made are consistent for the years presented.
Integrated Field Solutions revenue is comprised of revenue derived from on-site asset inspection, maintenance, and related technical services performed by our technicians at customer locations, as well as data-driven solutions, including software, analytics, and implementation services that provide insights and recommendations to enhance asset integrity and performance. Integrated Field Solutions revenue increased by $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 and increased by $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to increases in sales volume in our power generation and transmission and infrastructure, research and engineering end markets as a result of strong market demand, partially offset by decreases in sales volume in our oil and gas end market within our North America and International segments.
In-Laboratory Services revenue is comprised of quality assurance inspections of components and materials at our in-house laboratory facilities. In-Laboratory Services revenue increased by $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased by $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to increased sales volumes in our aerospace and defense end market in our North America segment.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by $2.5 million, or 4.6%, in the three months ended June 30, 2026 versus the prior year comparable period primarily due to an improved and diversified business mix and operating efficiencies.
Gross profit by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

Interest Expense
Interest expense was approximately $4.1 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This decrease of $0.1 million in interest expense was a result of lower interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2026 in comparison to the prior year comparable period. Interest expense was approximately $7.0 million and $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This decrease of $0.5 million in interest expense was a result of lower interest rates and lower average borrowings outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2026 in comparison to the prior year comparable period.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was approximately 23.1% and 25.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our effective income tax rate was approximately 21.1% and 71.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to limitations on the deductibility of certain compensation expenses. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of an unfavorable discrete item related to stock compensation.
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to limitations on the deductibility of certain compensation expenses. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the reversal of valuation allowances.
Income tax expense varies as a function of pre-tax income and the level of non-deductible expenses, such as certain amounts of meals and entertainment expense, valuation allowances, and other permanent differences. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year. Our effective income tax rate may fluctuate over the next few years due to many variables including the amount and future geographic distribution of our pre-tax income, changes resulting from our acquisition strategy, and increases or decreases in our permanent differences.
On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), was enacted, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions. These tax reform provisions include the extension and modification of certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and are effective for calendar year 2025. The changes include, but are not limited to, immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditure, the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, and an EBITDA-based interest expense limitation. These provisions did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

(tabular dollars are in thousands)
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $17.7 million, representing a year-over-year increase of $21.3 million, or 590%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net income and movements in working capital, primarily due to higher collections of accounts receivable as compared to the prior year comparable period.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in investing activities was $11.9 million, representing a $0.4 million increase compared to the prior year comparable period. The increase is primarily attributable to increased expenditures for property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sale of equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, net payments of debt were approximately $9.5 million compared to net borrowings of debt of $16.4 million in the prior year comparable period.
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash and Cash Equivalents
The effect of exchange rate changes on our cash and cash equivalents was a decrease of $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an increase of $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Cash Balance and Credit Facility Borrowings
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $22.0 million and $106.3 million of unused commitments under our Credit Agreement with borrowings of $170.5 million and $3.8 million of letters of credit outstanding. We finance operations primarily through our existing cash balances, cash collected from operations, bank borrowings and capital lease financing. We believe these sources are sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.
As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and will continuously monitor our compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. The Company believes that it is probable that the Company will be able to comply with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement and that sufficient credit remains available under the Credit Agreement to meet the Company's liquidity needs. However, such matters cannot be predicted with certainty.
The terms of our Credit Agreement are described in Note 11 - Long-Term Debt of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, under the heading "Senior Credit Facility". The terms related to the subsequent amendment to the Credit Agreement are described in Note 15 - Subsequent Events.
Contractual Obligations
Except for the subsequent amendment to the Credit Agreement described in Note 15 - Subsequent Events, there have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations and outstanding indebtedness from those disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have, and do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in the 2025 Annual Report.
