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 ended March 31, 2022.

“Our teams responded well to the myriad of operating challenges that our company faced in the first quarter of 2022. Difficult comparisons on the industrial side of our business compared to the first quarter of 2021, continuing supply chain hurdles and customer project delays brought on by the Ukraine conflict represented significant headwinds during the quarter,” stated Thomas Logan, Mirion’s Chief Executive Officer. “Despite these challenges, we continued to experience strong engagement and order inflows across our product portfolio. We remain committed to executing on our company strategy and are confident in our competitive positioning heading into the remainder of 2022 and beyond.”

“I believe that the Mirion team performed admirably as they managed through the variety of headwinds present across the company’s international operating profile,” added Larry Kingsley, Chairman of Mirion’s Board. “While challenging in the short-term, it is important to remember that this is an incredibly resilient business led by a team that has proven they can deliver in the face of a challenging operating environment. Our end markets are healthy and our team has the right strategy in place to deliver strong results for the rest of 2022.”

Updated 2022 Outlook

“Following the conclusion of our first quarter and analyzing the current global operating environment, we are updating our full year 2022 guidance,” continued Mr. Logan. “These updates reflect the removal of remaining Russian-related projects from our 2022 guidance, largely offset with new opportunities in the defense and nuclear power sectors. We don’t have the ability to project how the situation in Ukraine may affect our business in the future and felt it prudent to provide guidance that reflects current expectations.”

Mirion is now expecting the following results for the fiscal year and 12-month period ending December 31, 2022:

• Organic adjusted revenue growth of 4% - 6%, versus prior expectations of 5% - 7%
• Adjusted EBITDA of $170 million - $180 million, compared to prior guidance of $175 million - $185 million
• Adjusted EPS of $0.44 - $0.49, which is down from the previous range of $0.45 - $0.50
• Adjusted free cash flow of $75 million - $95 million, compared to prior guidance of $90 million - $110 million

CIRS is expected to deliver approximately 2% incremental inorganic revenue growth and foreign exchange rates are now expected to result in an approximately negative 2.5% impact to reported adjusted revenue growth. The guidance for organic adjusted revenue growth excludes the impact of foreign exchange rates as well as mergers and acquisitions.

Other modelling and guidance assumptions include the following:

• Euro to U.S. Dollar foreign exchange conversion rate of 1.10
• Net interest expense of approximately $38 million (approximately $34 million of cash interest)
• 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 24.7 million shares reserved for future equity awards(subject to annual automatic increases))

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 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 adjusted revenue, organic adjusted revenue adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow are not available without unreasonable effort.

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 "Business Combination") with GS Acquisition Holdings Corp II ("GSAH"), 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. Mirion adopted a calendar year fiscal year in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

All share data is of March 31, 2022 unless otherwise noted.

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.

Organic Adjusted Revenues is defined as Adjusted Revenues excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates as well as mergers and acquisitions 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, 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 reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods.
