Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The term “Adjusted EBITDA” is a financial measurement not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company believes that investors and other users of the financial statements benefit from the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA because it provides an additional metric to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis and measures underlying trends and results of the Company’s business. An explanation of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of this to a financial measurement under GAAP are set forth in a table attached to this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income attributable to Mistras Group, Inc . plus: interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, certain acquisition related costs and certain one-time and generally non-recurring items (which are included in the reconciliation above).
