ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mirion Technologies, Inc. (“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 its fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

“I am very proud of the results that our team was able to deliver for the fourth quarter and calendar year 2021. The last calendar quarter was quite eventful for Mirion. We became a publicly-traded company, completed the acquisition of CIRS and navigated a challenging operating environment punctuated by the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. The company was able to deliver solid growth and our recent medical acquisitions contributed to our overall performance for the quarter ended December 31, 2021,” stated Thomas Logan, Mirion’s Chief Executive Officer. “We experienced a number of supply chain challenges, specifically within our nuclear medicine business. We are working on supply chain mitigants and constantly evolving our sourcing strategies to match the dynamic operating environment. We have implemented pricing actions across our product portfolio aimed at countering inflationary impacts on our business with more to come. We feel confident in our competitive position going into 2022 and believe that our people and technology will continue to serve as differentiated advantages and help deliver growth in 2022 and beyond.”

“The Mirion team was able to deliver solid results in the face of a challenging operating environment," added Larry Kingsley, Mirion's Board Chairman. “The company is uniquely positioned as a market leader in 14 out of 17 product categories and is well-positioned to continue taking market share across the board, driven by the strength and quality of its diverse portfolio. The M&A pipeline remains healthy and the company's medical and industrial segments are benefiting from a variety of supportive macro trends. The Mirion team has an established history of delivering sustained, positive returns over the course of the company's life and I have the utmost confidence in the company's strategy and ability to capitalize on multiple operational improvement opportunities across the business.”

Outlook

“We have officially converted our fiscal year end to December 31 (from June 30 previously) and are pleased to initiate our guidance for the 12 months ending December 31, 2022. Despite the challenges we have seen and experienced as a result of the global pandemic and resulting supply chain disruptions, we continue to see positive signs in our order book, backlog and underlying market trends. Our growth forecast reflects those positive themes and is bolstered by pricing actions already executed and to be implemented. A portion of these actions are in response to the unprecedented inflation impacting the global economy," continued Mr. Logan. “We expect to deliver 100 to 200 basis points of Adjusted EBITDA margin growth in 2022, excluding incremental and ongoing public company general and administrative costs of approximately $11.5 million and the impact of the CIRS acquisition. Margin expansion is expected to be achieved through three key pillars: commercial and pricing excellence, strategic cost initiatives and discipline, and operating leverage.” 

Mirion has issued the following guidance for the fiscal year and 12 month period ending December 31, 2022:

• Reported adjusted revenue growth of 5.5% to 7.5%
• Adjusted EBITDA of $175 million - $185 million
• Adjusted EPS of $0.45 - $0.50
• Adjusted free cash flow of $90 million - $110 million

Organic adjusted revenue growth is expected at 5% to 7%, while CIRS is expected to deliver approximately 2% incremental inorganic revenue growth. Foreign exchange rates are expected to result in a negative (approximately 1.5%) impact to reported adjusted revenue growth. The guidance for organic growth excludes the impact of foreign exchange and acquisitions.

Other modelling and guidance assumptions include:

• Euro to U.S. Dollar foreign exchange conversion rate of 1.13
• Approximately $11.5 million of incremental public company general and administrative costs
• Depreciation of approximately $30 million, including a step-up from purchase accounting of approximately $6 million
• Net interest expense of approximately $35 million (approximately $32 million of cash interest)
• Capital expenditures of approximately $32 million
• Effective tax rate of between 24% and 26%
• Approximately 181 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding (excludes 8.6 million shares of Class B common stock, 27.2 million warrants, 18.8 million founder shares, subject to vesting, 1.0 million restricted stock units, 0.2 million performance stock units and a further 18.7 million shares reserved for future equity awards)

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 and purchase accounting adjustments, that have not yet occurred, are out of Mirion’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation for our guidance for organic adjusted revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not available without unreasonable effort.

Mirion Technologies (TopCo), Ltd.'s ("Mirion TopCo") most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 before the business combination (the "Business Combination") with GS Acquisition Holdings Corp II ("GSAH"). Mirion adopted a calendar year fiscal year in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

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.

Basis of Presentation

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes Mirion TopCo as the “Predecessor” until the closing date of the Business Combination, October 20, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). Mirion, which includes the combination of Mirion TopCo and GSAH subsequent to the Business Combination, is the “Successor” for periods starting from the Closing Date. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting in the Successor period, the financial statements for the Successor period are presented on a full step-up basis as a result of the Business Combination, and are therefore not comparable to the financial statements of the Predecessor period that are not presented on the same full step-up basis due to the Business Combination.

Share Count

Consists of 180,773,292 shares of Class A common stock and 8,560,540 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Excludes (1) 18,750,000 founder shares which are shares of Class A common stock subject to vesting in three equal tranches, based on the volume-weighted average price of our Class A common stock being greater than or equal to $12.00, $14.00 and $16.00 per share for any 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period, and such shares will be forfeited to us if they fail to vest within five years after October 20, 2021; (2) 27,249,979 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of 8,500,000 private placement warrants and 18,749,979 publicly-traded warrants; and (3) any shares issuable from awards under our 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which had 19,952,329 shares reserved (subject to annual automatic increases). The 8,560,540 shares of Class B common stock are paired on a one-for-one basis with shares of Class B common stock of Mirion Intermediate Co., Inc. (the "paired interests"). Holders of the paired interests have the right to have their interests redeemed for, at the option of Mirion, shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or cash based on a trailing stock price average.

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.

Adjusted Revenues is defined as GAAP revenues adjusted to remove the impact of purchase accounting on the recognition of deferred revenue.

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, the impact of purchase accounting on the recognition of deferred revenue, changes in the fair value of warrants, certain non-operating expenses (certain purchase accounting impacts related to revenues and inventory, restructuring and costs to achieve operational synergies, merger and acquisition expenses and IT project implementation expenses), stock-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment and income tax impacts of these adjustments.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as GAAP net income adjusted for foreign currency gains and losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the impact of purchase accounting on the recognition of deferred revenue, changes in the fair value of warrants, certain non-operating expenses (certain purchase accounting impacts related to revenues and inventory, restructuring and costs to achieve operational synergies, merger and acquisition 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 and purchases of badges.

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