ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Transcat, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNS) (“Transcat” or the “Company”), a leader in test measurement, control and calibration, has reported financial and operational results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended March 28, 2026 (“fiscal 2026”).

Management Commentary

“Transcat achieved robust results across both business segments in the fiscal fourth quarter, with service organic revenue* climbing 7%," said Jaime Irick, President and CEO. "Distribution revenue surged 11% during the quarter, accompanied by a 280 basis point expansion in gross margin compared to the prior year, fueled by our ongoing strategic shift toward higher-margin rental offerings. The combined strength of our team's operational execution and strong revenue momentum drove a 16% increase in adjusted EBITDA*. Service revenue grew 18% in the quarter, the sixty-eighth consecutive quarter of service revenue growth. Given our strong organic growth and strategic acquisitions of top regional players we believe Transcat gained market share in the calibration services market during fiscal 2026. Service gross margins improved sequentially in the fiscal fourth quarter by 670 bps, as expected.

Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the trajectory of our service segment, underpinned by strong customer retention, rising activity levels, and the conversion of new business wins into revenue. We expect service organic revenue growth to continue in the high single-digits in Fiscal 2027, assuming the broader economic environment remains stable. Strategic M&A is a key pillar of our overall growth strategy and the recent acquisition of SCM Metrology and Laboratories reinforces our belief that we continue to be the acquirer of choice in the calibration services market. SCM establishes Transcat’s first operational presence in Latin America and advances the Company’s strategy to grow alongside our existing customers in high-growth, highly regulated markets.

I am incredibly impressed with everyone on the Transcat leadership and governance teams, our dedicated employees across all regions, and our world-class customer and partner base. Our core values prioritize uncompromising integrity, relentless customer focus, and technical excellence to ensure safety and quality in the highly regulated industries we serve. I am extremely excited to be part of this exceptional team, and we will continue to execute and accelerate our proven and successful core strategy: high single-digit service organic revenue growth, service gross margin expansion, strategic M&A, and strong rentals growth. We are confident that our compelling value proposition, combined with recent additions of premier calibration service companies that broaden our geographic reach, positions Transcat to deliver continued sustainable, long-term shareholder value," concluded Mr. Irick.

(Results are compared with the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025 ("fiscal 2025"))

NOTE 1 – Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting service revenue, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure, we present service organic revenue (current period service revenue less freight billed to customer less acquired revenue less prior period service revenue). Acquired revenue is revenue generated from acquisitions for twelve months subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company’s management believes service organic revenue is an important measure of operating performance because the measure provides a basis for comparison of our business operations across periods to assess core operating performance. As such, the Company uses service organic revenue as a measure of performance when evaluating its Service segment and as a basis for planning and forecasting.

In addition to reporting net income and net margin, GAAP measures, we present Adjusted Net Income (net income plus acquisition related amortization expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, acquisition related stock-based compensation, executive transition costs, and acquisition amortization of backlog) and Adjusted net margin (Adjusted Net Income* divided by revenue), which are non-GAAP measures. The Company’s management believes Adjusted net income* and Adjusted net margin are important measures of operating performance because the measures provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. As such, the Company uses Adjusted Net Income* and Adjusted net margin as measures of performance when evaluating its business segments and as a basis for planning and forecasting.

In addition to reporting net income and net margin, GAAP measures, we present Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, executive transition costs, and acquisition related transaction expenses) and Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue), which are non-GAAP measures. The Company’s management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are important measures of operating performance because the measures allow management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the performance of its core operations from period to period by removing the impact of the capital structure (interest), tangible and intangible asset base (depreciation and amortization), taxes, stock-based compensation expense, executive transition costs, gain on sale of assets and other items, which is not always commensurate with the reporting period in which it is included. As such, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as measures of performance and as a basis for planning and forecasting.

In addition to reporting operating income, a GAAP measure, we present Adjusted Operating Income (operating income plus depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, executive transition costs, and contingent consideration adjustments) and Adjusted Operating Income Margin (Adjusted Operating Income divided by revenue), which are non-GAAP measures. The Company’s management believes Adjusted Operating Income and Margin are important measures of operating performance because they allow management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the performance of its core operations from period to period by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. As such, the Company uses Adjusted Operating Income and Margin as measures of performance when evaluating its business segments.

In addition to reporting Diluted Earnings Per Share, a GAAP measure, we present Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (net income plus acquisition related amortization expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, acquisition related stock-based compensation, executive transition costs, and acquisition amortization of backlog, as applicable; divided by the average diluted shares outstanding during the period ), which is a non-GAAP measure. Our management believes Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is an important measure of our operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

In addition to reporting cash from operations, a GAAP measure, we present Operating Free Cash Flow (cash from operations less capital expenditures), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's management believes Operating Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure that reflects the cash generated by the business, after the purchases of technology, capabilities and assets, that can be used for, among other things, strategic acquisitions, investments in the business and funding ongoing operations. As such, the Company uses Operating Free Cash Flow as a measure of performance when evaluating its business.

In addition to reporting debt, a GAAP measure, we present Net Debt (debt less cash and cash equivalents), which is a non-GAAP measure. We believe Net Debt is an important measure of financial leverage.

Service Organic Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted net income margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Operating Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, the measures should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for the GAAP measures of Service Revenue, Net Income, Operating Income, Diluted Earnings Per Share, Net Cash provided by Operations and Debt and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the related GAAP measures. Service Organic Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted net margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Operating Free Cash Flow and Net Debt as presented, may produce results that vary from the related GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly defined non-GAAP measures used by other companies. See pages 12-17 for the reconciliation tables.
