Mistras Group, Inc. reaffirmed earnings guidance for the year 2017 and provided consolidated earnings guidance for the year 2018. For 2017, on the basis of strong fourth quarter 2017 performance, driven primarily by its Services segment, the company reaffirms its earlier fiscal year 2017 revenue guidance of from $675 to $700 million and Adjusted EBITDA guidance of from $66 million to $70 million. For 2018, the company expects revenues for this specific customer within its Challenged Region to be reduced by approximately $40 million in 2018. However, the Company further expects that its consolidated revenues will increase on a net basis in 2018, inclusive of this reduction. The Company expects it will achieve double digit increases in revenues in its International and Products and Systems segments, as well as in its Services segment, exclusive of the Challenged Region. The Company expects the following factors to drive this revenue growth: Market share gains with new customers; Increased volume with existing customers; Incremental revenues from recent acquisitions; and Foreign exchange impact related to weakness in the USD. Although the loss of the large contract in the Challenged Region will have an adverse impact upon the Company's results, the Company expects that its consolidated operating income and adjusted EBITDA will experience a significant net increase in 2018, driven by the same factors listed above, as well as by the beneficial impact of the Company's 2017 cost reduction program. The Company further expects that its margin of Adjusted EBITDA to revenues will increase by more than 100 basis points, and that it will generate more than $50 million of free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures) in 2018. The company expects EPS in the $0.83 range and EBITDA in the $80 million range. The company expects tax rate from 28% to 32%. It's probably safest to use 30% right now, and the company will continue to refine that estimate. CapEx budget seem to be higher.
