MONTROSE ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

- Increases Revenue to $139.9 Million with Continued Organic Revenue Growth Outperformance-

- Reiterates Full Year 2022 Outlook-

- Increases Operating Cash Flow by $18.1 Million Over the Prior Year -

- Introduces Adjusted Net Income1 and Adjusted Net Income Per Share1 Metrics -

Little Rock, Arkansas (August 8, 2022) – Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “Montrose” or “MEG”) (NYSE: MEG) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Montrose Chief Executive Officer and Director, Vijay Manthripragada, commented, “Montrose continues to perform well despite macroeconomic turbulence and the cyberattack in June which temporarily disrupted our business. We maintain our revenue and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 outlook for the year. The inherent variability in our CTEH response business and the timing of select larger project awards which are ongoing and expanding in scope remain hard to predict and may impact results. Our sequential and year-over-year improvement in our revenue reflects continued organic growth outperformance against our expectations. The momentum in our business is also evident in the strength of our cash flow, which gives us more financial flexibility and the ability to continue investing in environmental innovation. We are seeing tailwinds from end market and regulatory activity, and we have been able to capitalize on broad demand for PFAS remediation, greenhouse gas measurement and mitigation, and renewable energy, in particular. We have also been awarded several large U.S. federal government projects, reflecting the growing importance of our environmental solutions across the private and public sector.”

Mr. Manthripragada continued, “The revenue growth in most of our business lines more than offset the previously communicated and expected normalization of CTEH revenues, a trend we expect to continue through the remainder of 2022. With costs, we have seen certain variable expenses such as travel accelerate faster than anticipated in the current inflationary environment, but we remain confident in our ability to offset those costs with pricing increases and improved efficiencies. As it relates to our people, our ability to recruit and retain talent, particularly at the mid to senior levels in the organization, remains strong. I remain very grateful to my team for all they do for our business, each other and our clients.”

Mr. Manthripragada elaborated, “I would also like to explain a change to our methodology for calculating Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 based on feedback from the SEC and other stakeholders. This does not reflect a change in our underlying economics, our cash flow, or our previously communicated expectations for either 2022 or the next three to five years. For example, we continue to see growing momentum with our R&D and technology efforts which are creating new market opportunities. As we see more of these opportunities, our ability to innovate, our ability to enter new geographies and our clients’ receptivity to our innovation – in other words, our continued launch of “startup initiatives” – is expected to continue or potentially accelerate. Therefore, going forward, we will no longer add back startup costs that we included in our historical calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1. Our previously reported 2021 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 was $77.6 million, which added back $4.4 million of Startup Losses. Without adjusting for Startup Losses, our Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 in 2021 was $73.2 million. Our 2022 guidance of $73.0 million - $78.0 million of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 included an estimate of approximately $5.0 million of Startup Losses. Using the new methodology, our 2022 guidance for Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 is $68.0 million - $73.0 million. I cannot reiterate enough that this is nothing more than a change in methodology and that our expectations for the year have not changed.”

_______________________________

(1) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share are non-GAAP measures. See the appendix to this release for a discussion of these measures, including how they are calculated and the reasons why we believe they provide useful information to investors, and a reconciliation for historical periods to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.


 

Second Quarter 2022 Results

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2022 increased 2.7% to $139.9 million compared to $136.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by organic growth in our Measurement and Analysis and Remediation and Reuse segments, partially offset by significantly lower COVID-19-related services provided by CTEH. Second quarter revenue growth also benefited from acquisitions completed during the past twelve months.

Net loss was $(7.8) million, or $(0.40) per share, compared to a net loss of $(13.1) million, or $(0.66) per share, in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to changes in the fair value of business acquisition contingencies in the current year compared to the prior year and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense in the current year.

Adjusted Net Income 1 was $5.4 million, and Adjusted Net Income per Share1 was $0.04, compared to Adjusted Net Income1 of $4.8 million, and Adjusted Net Income per Share1 of $0.03 in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to lower interest expense in the current year, partially offset by lower operating segment Adjusted EBITDA primarily due to lower revenue from COVID-related services provided by CTEH.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1, under the revised methodology, was $15.6 million, inclusive of $0.9 million of start-up losses, compared to $19.8 million in the prior year, inclusive of $1.1 million of start-up losses.

First Six Months 2022 Results

Total revenue in the first six months of 2022 increased 1.7% to $274.6 million compared to $270.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by organic growth in our Measurement and Analysis and Remediation and Reuse segments, partially offset by significantly lower COVID-19-related services provided by CTEH. Year-to-date revenue growth also benefited from the acquisitions completed during 2021 and the first half of 2022.

Net loss was $(15.3) million, or $(0.79) per share, compared to a net loss of $(26.1) million, or $(1.34) per share, in the prior year period. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to changes in the fair value of business acquisition contingencies in the current year compared to the prior year and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation in the current year.

Adjusted Net Income1 was $10.9 million, and Adjusted Net Income per Share1 was $0.09, compared to Adjusted Net Income1 of $8.4 million, and Adjusted Net Income per Share1 of $0.01, in the prior year period. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to lower interest expense in the current year, partially offset by lower operating segment Adjusted EBITDA primarily due to lower revenue from COVID-related services provided by CTEH.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, under the revised methodology, was $31.3 million, inclusive of $1.7 million of start-up losses, compared to $35.7 million in the prior year, inclusive of $2.1 million of start-up losses.

Operating Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in operating activities for the first six months ended June 30, 2022 was $(2.9) million compared to cash used in operating activities of $(17.0) million in the prior year period. Cash flow from operations includes payment of contingent consideration of $19.5 million and $15.5 million in the current and prior year periods, respectively. Excluding these acquisition-related contingent earnout payments, which are not part of day-to-day operations, cash flow from operating activities was $16.6 million compared to cash used in operating activities of $(1.5) million in the prior year period, an increase of $18.1 million.

As of June 30, 2022, Montrose had total debt, before debt issuance costs, of $168.4 million and $223.4 million of liquidity, including $98.4 million of cash and $125.0 million of availability on its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2022, Montrose’s leverage ratio under its credit facility, which includes acquisition-related contingent earnout payments that may become payable in cash, was 1.1 times.

 


 

Acquisitions

In August 2022, Montrose acquired TriAD Environmental Consultants, a small but highly additive environmental consulting firm with a focus on the Southeast U.S. TriAD is part of the Company’s Assessment, Permitting & Response segment.

Full Year 2022 Outlook

The Company reiterates its full year 2022 outlook. The Company expects revenue to be in the range of $520.0 million to $570.0 million. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1, under the revised methodology, is expected to be in the range of $68.0 million to $73.0 million for the full year 2022, inclusive of $5.0 million of start-up losses, which is consistent with the Company’s outlook originally provided on February 28, 2022.

The Company’s 2022 forecast reflects an expectation of organic growth outperformance relative to the Company’s historical average of 7.0% - 9.0% (excluding CTEH). The 2022 forecast also reflects revenue from CTEH to be elevated versus CTEH's expected $75.0 - $95.0 million revenue run-rate. CTEH remains elevated due to a continuation of certain COVID-19 pandemic related services which remain difficult to forecast.

The outlook does not include any benefit from future acquisitions that have not yet been completed.

Webcast and Conference Call

The Company will host a webcast and conference call on Tuesday, August 9, 2022 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time to discuss second quarter financial results. Their prepared remarks will be followed by a question and answer session.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to our results under GAAP, in this release we also present certain other supplemental financial measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, including, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share. We calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs, as set forth in greater detail in the table below. We calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) before amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, fair value changes to financial instruments and contingent earnouts, and other gain or losses, as set forth in greater detail in the table below. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share represents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.


Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate our financial performance and compare it to that of our peers, evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting and capital allocation decisions and in connection with our executive incentive compensation. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share are useful metrics to evaluate ongoing business performance after interest and tax. These measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe they are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because they allow for more consistent comparisons of financial performance between periods by excluding gains and losses that are non-operational in nature or outside the control of management, and, in the case of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, by excluding items that may differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments.


These non-GAAP measures do, however, have certain limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which we may make adjustments. In addition, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries, and other companies may not present these or similar measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using these measures as supplemental financial metrics and in conjunction with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single measure and to view Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share in conjunction with the related GAAP measures.


Additionally, we have provided estimates regarding Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for 2022. These projections account for estimates of revenue, operating margins and corporate and other costs. However, we cannot reconcile our projection of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable efforts because of the unpredictable or unknown nature of certain significant items excluded from Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and the resulting difficulty in quantifying the amounts thereof that are necessary to estimate net income (loss) . Specifically, we are unable to estimate for the future impact of certain items, including income tax (expense) benefit, stock-based compensation expense, fair value changes and the accounting for the issuance of the Series A-2 preferred stock. We expect the variability of these items could have a significant impact on our reported GAAP financial results.
 

In this release we also reference our organic growth. We define organic growth as the change in revenues excluding revenues from acquisitions for the first twelve months following the date of acquisition and excluding revenues from businesses disposed of or discontinued. As a result of the significance of CTEH to Montrose, and the potential annual volatility in CTEH’s revenues due to the emergency response aspect of their business, we also disclose organic growth without the annual organic revenue growth of CTEH. We expect to continue to disclose organic revenue growth with and without CTEH. Management uses organic growth as one of the means by which it assesses our results of operations. Organic growth is not, however, a measure of revenue growth calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should be considered in conjunction with revenue growth calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have grown organically and expect to continue to do so.
