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 second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“Our second quarter results were in-line with our expectations,” stated Thomas Logan, Mirion’s Chief Executive Officer. “Both segments delivered steady top-line growth and strong Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion during the quarter. I am also pleased to announce a strategic partnership agreement that we signed with EDF, fortifying our competitive positioning in the nuclear new build market in the decades to come. We remain encouraged by the trends supporting growth in cancer care and nuclear power and I believe that the business is well-positioned for the second half of the year and beyond.”

Updated 2024 Outlook

“Looking ahead to the back half of 2024, we have reiterated our revenue growth and adjusted free cash flow expectations,” continued Mr. Logan. “Our updated Adjusted EBITDA range is reflective of strong year-to-date execution and the potential for further margin expansion the rest of the year. We continue to focus on improving our overall cash conversion dynamics and enhancing our net working capital position.”

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

• Revenue growth of 5% - 7%, which is unchanged
  • Organic revenue growth of 4% - 6%, which is unchanged
    • Medical LSD+ organic growth, compared to MSD previously
    • Technologies MSD+ organic growth, compared to MSD previously
  • Inorganic revenue growth of approximately 1.5%, primarily as a result of the ec² acquisition
  • Expected closure of lasers business expected to negatively impact organic revenue growth by approximately 30 basis points
• Adjusted EBITDA of $195 million - $205 million, increased from $193 million - $203 million previously
• Adjusted EPS of $0.37 - $0.42, which is unchanged
• Adjusted free cash flow of $65 million - $85 million, which is unchanged

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 $53 million (approximately $52 million of cash interest)
• Effective tax rate between 27% and 29%
• Capital expenditures of approximately $42 million
• Cash taxes of approximately $35 million
• Approximately 205 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding (excludes 6.9 million shares of Class B common stock, 18.8 million founder shares, subject to vesting, 1.8 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 June 30, 2024)
• Euro to U.S. Dollar foreign exchange conversion rate of 1.07
• Cash non-operating expenses of approximately $10 million
• Stock-based compensation of approximately $11 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.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. For further information regarding these non-GAAP measures, including the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the financial tables below, as well as the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release. Non-GAAP financial information is not a substitute for GAAP financial information and undue reliance should not be placed on such non-GAAP financial information. In addition, similarly titled items used by other companies may not be comparable due to variations in how they are calculated and how terms are defined.

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.
