Current report
The global trade landscape continues to be highly volatile. In 2025, the U.S. government implemented a series of trade tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from various countries. In many cases, these tariffs resulted in reciprocal tariffs and other actions on goods being exported from the U.S. These associated tariffs are complex and continue to evolve as negotiations occur. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), which the U.S. government relied on to impose certain tariffs, does not authorize the administration to impose tariffs. On March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to process refunds of the IEEPA tariffs, although the Court immediately suspended the order while the CBP determines a refund process. The IEEPA tariffs remain subject to ongoing litigation between the administration and other parties. In response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling mentioned above, the administration announced plans to implement new tariffs under alternative statutory authority. The full impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling and the administration’s response, including the timing and extent of any refunds and the impact of the new tariffs, remain uncertain. Tariffs and trade barriers have not had a material effect on our business or results of operations during 2026 to date. However, new tariffs or trade measures could result in increased costs to us or our suppliers and could impact the import of materials by our customers, including materials subject to our inspection and testing services, which could adversely affect demand for our services.
Current report
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the conflict involving the United States and Iran, have contributed to increased volatility in global energy markets and broader macroeconomic uncertainty. The conflict in the Middle East has significantly reduced the export of oil and natural gas from the Persian Gulf, creating upward pressure on oil and natural gas prices, and has also disrupted and increased the costs of certain other supplies. Fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices may influence capital spending and maintenance activity by customers in the oil and gas sector, which could affect demand for certain of our services, particularly field inspection and asset integrity solutions. Additionally, continued instability in the region could contribute to supply chain disruptions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and delays in customer projects. While we have not experienced material impacts to date, the situation remains dynamic, and we continue to monitor developments and assess potential impacts on our operations, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
The Company has retrospectively reclassified certain revenue types for each quarterly period in 2025 in order to conform the classification with the current period presentation. The table below presents the reclassified balances for each quarterly period for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Removed paragraphs (10)
Previous report
As discussed above in Note 1 - Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, we changed the presentation of certain costs incurred at our operational labs as well as for certain lab personnel on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. This voluntary change in classification of certain overhead and personnel costs, which were determined to be directly related to the delivery of our services, resulted in a decrease in from selling, general and administrative expenses and an offsetting increase in cost of revenue. We believe this presentation is preferable as it will provide greater transparency regarding our cost of revenue and better align with how our business is managed.
Previous report
We continue to monitor the impact that tariffs or trade barriers may have on our business, including recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, Canada, Mexico and other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries. The tariffs have not had a material effect on our business or results of operations to date in 2025, but they could result in additional costs to us and could impact the import of materials by our customers which are inspected by us.
Previous report
In the third quarter of 2025, the price of crude oil continued to decline due to multiple macroeconomic and geopolitical forces. The decline in crude oil prices has had an adverse impact on our field related services that we provide to the oil and gas sector, which could continue if prices remain low.
Previous report
In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total revenue decreased 2.6% versus the prior year comparable period due predominantly to a low single-digit organic decrease. North America segment revenue decreased 4.2%, driven predominantly by a decrease in our Oil and Gas market revenue due to multiple macroeconomic and geopolitical forces which slowed global oil demand growth and consequently, the demand for inspection services from Oil and Gas market customers. International segment revenue increased 6.8%, due predominantly to low single-digit organic growth and low single-digit favorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Products and Systems segment revenue was flat as compared to the prior year comparable period.
Previous report
Data Analytical Solutions revenue is comprised of revenue derived from data software licenses and subscriptions, implementation services and analytics which offer insights and generate value from asset protection. Data Analytical Solutions revenue is derived from work performed by our employees in our facilities, or at customer locations. Data Analytical Solutions revenue increased by $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year comparable period, and increased by $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to increased sales volume within PCMS and other Data Analytical Solutions offerings within our North America segment.
Previous report
Other revenue is comprised of locations that perform both asset inspection services and testing of components and materials at our laboratories. Other revenue increased by $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 and increased by $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to increased sales within our mixed service offering facilities.

Previous report
(1) As noted in Note 1, the Company changed the presentation of certain costs incurred at its operational labs as well as the costs for certain personnel that indirectly support the Company’s delivery of services on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. This voluntary change in classification of certain overhead and employee costs, which, were determined to be directly related to the Company’s delivery of services, resulted in a decrease in Selling, general and administrative expenses and an offsetting increase in Cost of revenue. The impact on gross profit of this change in classification for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $20.9 million.
Previous report
Operating expenses increased $8.2 million, or 7.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to an unfavorable foreign exchange impact as compared to the prior year comparable period, partially offset by continued cost discipline and our focus on the calibration of our overhead costs relative to revenue achieved. As discussed in Note 1 - Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, Selling, general and administrative expenses reflect the classification change for certain overhead and personnel costs from Selling, general and administrative expenses to Cost of revenue. Environmental expense increased by $1.3 million as compared to the prior year comparable period due to environmental costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which were not incurred during the prior year comparable period. Reorganization and other costs increased by $3.6 million to $7.8 million as compared to the prior year comparable period due to ongoing initiatives to reduce overhead costs, and incremental costs of other related actions. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Previous report
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, income from operations (GAAP) decreased $1.6 million or 5.3%, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2024, while income from operations before special items (non-GAAP) increased by $4.1 million, or 12.4%. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations before special items increased by 90 basis points to 6.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 5.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Previous wording
Given the role our solutions play in enhancing the safe and efficient operation of infrastructure, we have historically provided a majority of our solutions to our customers on a regular, recurring basis. We perform these services largely at our customers’ facilities, while primarily servicing our aerospace customers at our network of state-of-the-art, in-house laboratories. These solutions typically include NDT and inspection services, and can also include a wide range of mechanical services, including heat tracing, pre-inspection insulation stripping, coating applications, re-insulation, engineering assessments and long-term condition-monitoring. Under this business model, many customers outsource their inspection to us on a “run and maintain” basis. We have established long-term relationships as a critical solutions provider to many of the leading companies with asset-intensive infrastructure in our target markets. These markets include companies in oil and gas, aerospace and defense, industrials, power generation and transmission (including alternative and renewable energy), other process industries and infrastructure, research and engineering and other industries.

We believe long-term growth can be realized in our target markets. Our level of business and financial results are impacted by world-wide macro- and micro-economic conditions generally, as well as those within our target markets. Among other things, we expect the timing of our oil and gas customers inspection spend to be impacted by oil price fluctuations.
Current wording
We believe long-term growth can be realized in our target markets. Our level of business and financial results are impacted by world-wide macro- and micro-economic conditions generally, as well as those within our target markets. For example, ongoing geopolitical conflicts, including the war between Russia and Ukraine, the unrest in the Middle East, including the recent conflict between the U.S. and Iran, continue to contribute to global energy market volatility, supply chain disruption, and economic uncertainty that could affect certain of our end markets, particularly oil and gas customers. Among other things, we expect the timing of our oil and gas customers inspection spend to be impacted by volatility in oil prices resulting from these factors.
Previous wording
Our cash position and liquidity remains strong. As of September 30, 2025, our cash balance was approximately $27.8 million and, with our Credit Agreement, provides us with significant liquidity.
Current wording

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In this MD&A under the heading "Income from Operations", the non-GAAP financial performance measure "Income from operations before special items” is used for each of our three operating segments, “Corporate and Eliminations” and the "Total Company", with tables reconciling the measure to a financial measure under GAAP. This presentation excludes from "Income from Operations" (a) reorganization and other costs, which includes items such as severance, labor relations matters and asset and lease termination costs, (b) environmental expense, which relates to costs associated with the environmental matter at the Phoenix lab operated by Mistras Arizona, as described in Note 13 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report, and (c) legal settlement and insurance recoveries, net. These adjustments have been excluded from the GAAP measure because these expenses and credits are not related to our or any individual segment's core business operations. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure as a measure of operating performance and liquidity to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations. We believe investors and other users of our financial statements benefit from the presentation of this non-GAAP measure in evaluating our performance. Income before special items excludes the identified adjustments, which provides additional tools to compare our core business operating performance on a consistent basis and measure underlying trends and results in our business. Income before special items is not used to determine incentive compensation for executives or employees, nor is it a replacement for the reported GAAP financial performance and/or necessarily comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. Any measure that eliminates the foregoing items has material limitations as a performance or liquidity measure and should not be considered alternatives to net income or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Because Income from operations before special items may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, this measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
