LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 8, 2022--
Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “Montrose” or “MEG”) (NYSE: MEG) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Montrose Chief Executive Officer and Director, Vijay Manthripragada, commented, “Our third quarter results reflect the resiliency of our business model and continued demand for our environmental solutions. Quarterly margins are expanding sequentially, as expected, and cash flows from operations remain very strong. Our balance sheet has limited exposure to a higher interest rate environment and provides us with ample flexibility. We are pleased with the continued surge in demand for our water treatment, renewable energy (biogas), and greenhouse gas measurement businesses, which largely offset the anticipated decline in COVID-19 related services provided by CTEH. With our strong organic growth in key services, we have increased our emphasis on hiring, onboarding, training, and quality management with new colleagues, while modulating our pace of acquisitions in 2022. We focused this year’s M&A on smaller, strategic bolt-ons. The landscape of acquisition opportunities has not changed, so our M&A pipeline is building attractively. We remain as optimistic as ever about our ability to create value for our stakeholders organically and via acquisitions.”
Mr. Manthripragada continued, “As we have said from the beginning, ours is not a quarterly business. Given the nature of our projects, there is often variance in any given quarter, but on an annual basis our outlook remains unchanged. Demand for our services has never been as strong and our conviction in organic growth opportunities has deepened. For 2022, our revenue and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 1 outlook remains firm. We continue to be optimistic about the trajectory of our business this year and into the foreseeable future. Most importantly, we are proud of and grateful for our entire team’s efforts.”__________________________________________________
(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.
Third Quarter 2022 Results
Total revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $130.3 million compared to $132.6 million in the prior year quarter. The change in revenues was primarily due to lower demand for COVID-19 related services provided by CTEH, partially offset by strong organic growth in our Measurement and Analysis and Remediation and Reuse segments as well as acquisitions completed during the past twelve months. Excluding CTEH revenues of $26.2 million and $53.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, total revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $104.1 million compared to $79.5 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 30.9% over the prior year period.
Net loss was $(5.7) million, or a loss of $(0.33) per share, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $2.2 million, or a loss of $(0.07) per share, in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to higher stock-based compensation expense in the current year, partially offset by a fair value gain on our interest rate swap.
Adjusted Net Income 1 was $7.8 million, and Adjusted Net Income per Share 1 was $0.12, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to Adjusted Net Income 1 of $11.5 million, and Adjusted Net Income per Share 1 of $0.28 in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to lower Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 1.
Third quarter 2022 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 1 was $17.1 million, compared to $20.3 million in the prior year quarter.
First Nine Months 2022 Results
Total revenue in the first nine months of 2022 increased 0.6% to $404.9 million compared to $402.6 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, primarily 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 nine months of 2022.
Net loss was $(21.0) million, or $(1.12) per share for the first nine months of 2022, compared to a net loss of $(23.9) million, or $(1.40) per share, in the prior year period. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation expense in the current year, partially offset by lower interest expense and fair value gains on our interest rate swap in the current year.
Adjusted Net Income 1 was $18.7 million, and Adjusted Net Income per Share 1 was $0.22, for the first nine months of 2022 compared to Adjusted Net Income 1 of $19.9 million, and Adjusted Net Income per Share 1 of $0.29, in the prior year period. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to lower Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 1, partially offset by lower interest expense in the current year.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $48.4 million, compared to $56.0 million in the prior year period.
Operating Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $8.2 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $13.7 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 $27.7 million compared to $29.2 million in the prior year period.
As of September 30, 2022, Montrose had total debt, before debt issuance costs, of $166.3 million and $218.6 million of liquidity, including $93.6 million of cash and $125.0 million of availability on its revolving credit facility. At our current leverage ratio, $100.0 million of debt bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.89% through January 2025. As of September 30, 2022, Montrose’s leverage ratio under its credit facility, which includes acquisition-related contingent earnout payments that may become payable in cash, was 1.2 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 Remediation and Reuse segment.
In September 2022, Montrose acquired AirKinetics, Inc., a small but additive emissions testing services provider in the Western U.S. AirKinetics is part of the Company’s Measurement and Analysis segment.
Full Year 2022 Outlook
The Company is maintaining the same midpoint of its revenue guidance and tightening the range to $535.0 million to $555.0 million, which is within the Company’s original revenue guidance range of $520.0 million to $570.0 million. The Company also continues to expect Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 1 to be in the range of $68.0 million to $73.0 million for the full year 2022.
The outlook does not include any benefit from future acquisitions that have not yet been completed or any new large-scale CTEH emergency response projects.

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.
