1.Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
 
Description of Business
 
Mistras Group, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company")(the Company) is a leading “one source” globalmultinational provider of integrated technology-enabled asset protection solutions helping to maximize the safety and operational uptime for civilization's most critical industrial and civil assets.

Backed by an innovative, data-driven asset protection portfolio, proprietary technologies, and decades-long legacy of industry leadership, the Company helps clients with asset-intensive infrastructure in the 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 towards achieving and maintaining operational excellence. By supporting these organizations that help fuel our vehicles and power our society; inspecting components that are trusted for commercial, defense, and space craft; and building real-time monitoring systems to help avoid catastrophic incidents, the Company helps the world at large.

The Company enhances value for its clients by integrating asset protection throughout supply chains and centralizing integrity data through a suite of Industrial Internet of Things ("IoT")-connected digital software and monitoring solutions, including OneSuite™, which serves as an ecosystem platform, pulling together all of the Company’s software and data services capabilities, for the benefit of its customers.

The Company’s core capabilities also include non-destructive testing (“NDT”) field inspections enhanced by advanced robotics, laboratory quality control and assurance testing, sensing technologies and NDT equipment, asset and mechanical integrity engineering services, and light mechanical maintenance and access services.

The Company has three operating segments. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company renamed the Services segment to more closely align to the geographical area in which the Segment operates. We did not recast the corresponding financial information for the historical periods presented, as there was no change in the manner which our chief operating decision maker reviews the financial results of each Segment and allocates resources. Our Segments, with the updated naming convention, are as follows:

North America (Referred to as "Services" in prior filings). This segment provides asset protection solutions predominantly in North America, with the largest concentration in the United States, followed by Canada, consisting primarily of NDT, inspection, mechanical and engineering services that are used to evaluate the safety, structural integrity and reliability of critical energy, industrial and public infrastructure. The Company combines industry-leadinginfrastructure and commercial aerospace components. Software, digital and data services are included in this segment.
International. This segment offers services, products and technologies, expertisesystems similar to those of the other segments to select markets within Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America, but not to customers in mechanical integrity (MI), non-destructive testing (NDT)China and mechanicalSouth Korea, which are served by the Products and Systems segment.
Products and Systems. This segment designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services the Company’s asset protection products and proprietary data analysis softwaresystems, including equipment and instrumentation, predominantly in the United States.

Recent Developments

Overall, the Company has taken actions to deliver a comprehensive portfoliohelp ensure the health and safety of customized solutions, ranging from routine inspectionsCompany employees and those of its customers and suppliers; maintain business continuity and financial strength and stability; and serve customers as they provide essential products and services to complex, plant-wide asset integrity assessments and management. These mission critical solutions enhance customers’ abilitythe world.

During 2022, the Company experienced unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacts as it relates to extend the useful life of their assets, increase productivity, minimize repair costs, comply with governmental safety and environmental regulations, manage risk and avoid catastrophic disasters. The Company serves a global customer base of companies with asset-intensive infrastructure, including companiesCompany's European operations, which has continued in 2023. Additionally, the Russian-Ukrainian war continues to create disruptions in the oil and gas fossilmarket and nuclear power, alternativethe supply chain in general, which is resulting in some disruption to our business operations.

For subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership interest is less than 100%, the non-controlling interests are reported in stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations of companies acquired are included from the date of acquisition.
On January 3, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31, effective December 31, 2016. The transition period was for the seven months ended December 31, 2016 ("the transition period"). Prior to this change, the Company's International segment was consolidated on a one month lag. Therefore, for this interim report, the condensed consolidated income statements include a one month lag for the International segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Management does not believe that any events occurred during the one-month lag period that would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The one- month lag was removed with the change in the Company's fiscal year noted above, and accordingly, the condensed consolidated income statements do not include a one month lag for the International segment's results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.


Reclassification


Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations as previously reported.


CustomersSignificant Accounting Policies


The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1–Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesand Practices in the 2022 Annual Report. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including among other things, those related to revenue recognition, long-lived assets, goodwill and acquisitions. Since the date of the 2022 Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies.

Income Taxes
As of March 31, 2023, management concluded that it is more likely than not that a substantial portion of the Company's deferred tax assets will be realized.

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2015,March 2020 and updated in January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers2020-04 and 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 606)848): DeferralFacilitation of the Effective Date, which defersEffects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The amendments provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the effective date ofpotential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another rate that is expected to be discontinued. The amendments in ASU 2014-092020-04 are effective for all entities by one year. This update is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning afterMarch 12, 2020 through December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. ASU 2014-09 will become effective for us beginning 2018, which is when we plan to adopt this standard. The ASU permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The ASU also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company plans to adopt this guidance using the cumulative catch-up method. We are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our condensed consolidated financial statements and are currently assessing our contracts with customers across each of its global operating segments. Our assessment is not yet complete and therefore we are unable to quantify the potential impacts. However, as most of our projects are short-term in nature and billed on at time and materials basis, we do not currently anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will result in substantial changes to the overall pattern or timing of our revenue recognition.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This amendment will simplify the presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and require all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be treated as non-current. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively beginning in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This amendment supersedes previous accounting guidance (Topic 840) and requires all leases, with the exception of leases with a term of 12 months or less, to be recorded on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The standard requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach.31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This amendment simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, which include accounting for income taxesapplicable contracts and the related impact onavailable expedients provided by the statementnew guidance.

2.    Revenue



The Company derives the majority of its revenue by providing services on a time and material basis, and are short-term in nature. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Performance Obligations
The Company provides highly integrated and bundled inspection services to its customers. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the Company's best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is a relative selling price based on price lists.

Contract modifications are not routine in the performance of the Company's contracts. Generally, when contracts are modified, the modification is to account for changes in scope to the goods and services that are provided. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as a separate contract.

The Company's performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time. The majority of the Company's revenue is recognized over time as work progresses for the Company's service deliverables, which includes providing testing, inspection and mechanical services to our customers. Revenue is recognized over time based on time and material incurred to date which best portrays the transfer of control to the customer. The Company also utilizes an available practical expedient that provides for revenue to be recognized in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date. Fixed fee arrangements are determined based on expected labor, material, and overhead to be consumed on fulfillment of such services. For these arrangements, revenue is recognized on a cost-to-cost method tracked on an input basis.

The majority of our revenue recognized at a point in time is related to product sales when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon shipment to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material and overhead.

The Company expects any significant remaining performance obligations to be satisfied within one year.

Contract Estimates

The majority of the Company's revenues are short-term in nature. The Company enters into master service agreements (MSAs) with customers that specify an overall framework and contract terms. The actual contracting to provide services or furnish products are triggered by a work order, purchase order, or some similar document issued pursuant to a MSA which sets forth the scope of services and/or identifies the products to be provided. From time-to-time, the Company may enter into longer-term contracts, which can range from several months to several years. Revenue on certain contracts is recognized as work is performed based on total costs incurred to date in relation to the total estimated costs for the performance of the contract at completion. This includes contract estimates of costs to be incurred for the performance of the contract. Cost estimation is based upon the professional knowledge and experience of the Company's project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Factors that are considered in estimating the work to be completed include the availability of materials, the effect of any delays in the Company's project performance and the recoverability of any claims. Whenever revisions of estimates, contract costs and/or contract values indicate that the contract costs will exceed estimated revenues, thus creating a loss, a provision for the total estimated loss is recorded in that period.

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the presentationConsolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are generally billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, generally at periodic intervals (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly or monthly). Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, the Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from its customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and classification of specific cash flow items to improve consistency within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years,liabilities are aggregated on an individual contract basis and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-15 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This amendment will clarify the presentation of restricted cashreported on the statementConsolidated Balance Sheets at the end of cash flows. Amounts generally described as restricted casheach reporting period within accounts receivable, net or accrued expenses and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending cash balances on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that ASU 2016-18 will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.other current liabilities.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This amendment eliminates Step Two of the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this update, entities should perform the annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the carrying value of its reporting units to their fair value. An entity should record an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Tax deductibility of goodwill should be considered in evaluating any reporting unit's impairment loss to be taken. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company has early adopted ASU 2017-04 in the third quarter of 2017 for its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Performance Restricted Stock Units


The Company maintains Performance Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs) that have been granted to select executives and senior officers whose ultimate payout is based on the Company’s performance over a one-year period based on specific metrics approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

For 2022, the Compensation Committee utilized the same structure for the Company’s equity incentive compensation plan for its executive officers as 2021, and approved the new target awards for 2022. The three metrics were:
1.Free Cash Flow net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets and is subject to adjustments approved by the Compensation Committee.
2.Adjusted EBITDA defined as defined: (1) Operating Income, (2) Adjusted EBITDASnet income attributable to the Company plus: interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and (3) Revenue. There also is a discretionary portionamortization, share-based compensation expense and certain acquisition related costs (including transaction due diligence costs and adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration), foreign exchange (gain) loss and, if applicable, certain special items which are noted.
3.Total Shareholder Return (TSR) measures the total return to shareholders of the Company during 2021 versus the total return to the shareholders of a predefined peer group of companies that provide inspection, testing, certification or similar industrial services. The return will be measured by the year over year percent change in share price. The share prices used to calculate the return are the average share price during the 20-trading day period ending on the initial measurement date (the last 20 trading days of 2021), compared to the average share price during the 20-trading day period ending on the final measurement date (the last 20 trading days of 2022). Any cash dividends or distributions paid in 2022 will be added to calculate the return to shareholders during the year. TSR is considered a market condition for which the fair value of PRSUs with this condition is determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model. Key assumptions in the Monte Carlo valuation model included:

a.Expected Volatility. Expected volatility of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant was estimated based on a historical average volatility rate for the approximate 1-year performance period.
b.Dividend Yield. The dividend yield assumption was based on historical and anticipated dividend payouts (assumed at zero).
c.Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on observed interest rates consistent with the approximate 1-year performance measurement period.

For 2023, the Compensation Committee made changes to the Company's equity incentive compensation plan for its executive officers including modifying the metrics utilized, and approved the new target awards for 2023. The three metrics are:
1.Free Cash Flow net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets and is subject to adjustments approved by the Compensation Committee.
2.Adjusted EBITDA defined as net income attributable to the Company plus: interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and certain acquisition related costs (including transaction due diligence costs and adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration), foreign exchange (gain) loss and, if applicable, certain special items which are noted.
3.Revenue

PRSUs are equity-classified and compensation costs are initially measured using the fair value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Compensation costs related to the PRSUs are subsequently adjusted for changes in the expected outcomes of the performance conditions. Compensation cost related to the PRSUs with a market condition is not reversed if the market condition is not achieved, provided the employee requisite service has been rendered. PRSUs generally vest ratably on each of the first four anniversary dates upon completion of the performance period, for a total requisite service period of up to five years and have no dividend rights.

based on individual performance, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee (Discretionary PRSUs). PRSUs and Discretionary PRSUs generally vest ratably on each of the first four anniversary dates upon completion of the performance period, for a total requisite service period of up to five years and have no dividend rights.

PRSUs are equity-classified and compensation costs are initially measured using the fair value of the underlying stock at the date of grant, assuming that the target performance conditions will be achieved. Compensation costs related to the PRSUs are subsequently adjusted for changes in the expected outcomes of the performance conditions.

Discretionary PRSUs are liability-classified and adjusted to fair value (with a corresponding adjustment to compensation expense) based upon the targeted number of shares to be awarded and the fair value of the underlying stock each reporting period until approved by the Compensation Committee, at which point they are classified as equity.

(tabular dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)






Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net incomeloss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net incomeloss by the sum of (1) the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, and (2) the dilutive effect of assumed conversion of equity awards using the treasury stock method. With respect to the number of weighted-average shares outstanding (denominator), diluted shares reflects: (i) the exercise of options to acquire common stock to the extent that the options’ exercise prices are less than the average market price of common shares during the period and (ii) the pro forma vesting of restricted stock units.

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on a reporting unit basis on October 1 of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable.

During the second quarter of 2017, there were pending contract bids which management assessed as having a reasonable chance of success. These contract bids were not awarded to the Company. As a result of this missed opportunity, the annual forecasting process was accelerated, resulting in lower future operating profits and cash flows. As such, there were indicators that the carrying amount of the goodwill for the Products and Systems reporting unit may not be recoverable due to the decline in the projected future cash flows.


The Company performed an analysis to determinea quantitative annual impairment test as of October 1, 2022 and the Company did not identify any impairment of long-lived assets (see Note 8) as well as an analysis to determine any impairment of goodwill. For the goodwill analysis, we used income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit, which requires significant judgmentchanges in evaluation of economic and industry trends, estimated future cash flows, discount rates and other factors, and comparedcircumstances that fair value to the carrying value, and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than the carrying value. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $13.2 million, based on the difference between the fair value andwould indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Additionally, through March 31, 2023, the reporting unit, which resultedCompany did not identify any changes in an impairment ofcircumstances that would indicate the entire amountcarrying value of goodwill formay not be recoverable. Significant adverse changes in future periods could negatively affect the ProductsCompany's key assumptions and Systems reporting unit.

The Company's cumulativemay result in future goodwill impairment as of September 30, 2017 was $23.1 million, ofcharges which $13.2 million related to the Products and Systems segment and $9.9 million related to the International segment. As of December 31, 2016, the cumulative goodwill impairment was $9.9 million, which is within its International segment.could be material.

As described in Note 7, the Company performed an analysis to determine whether there was any impairment of long-lived assets for the Products and Systems reporting unit. We used income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of the long-lived assets, which requires significant judgment in evaluation of the useful lives of the assets, economic and industry trends, estimated future cash flows, discount rates, and other factors. The result of the analysis was an impairment of $2.4 million to software/technology, $0.2 million to customer relationships and less than $0.1 million to other intangibles, which are included in the impairment charges line on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Government Investigations

In May 2015, the Company received a notice from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it performed a preliminary assessment at a leased facility the Company operates in Cudahy, California. Based upon the preliminary assessment, the EPA is conducting an investigation of the site, which includes taking groundwater and soil samples. The purpose of the investigation is to determine whether any hazardous materials were released from the facility. The Company has been informed that certain hazardous materials and pollutants have been found in the ground water in the general vicinity of the site and the EPA is attempting to ascertain the origination or source of these materials and pollutants. Given the historic industrial use of the site, the EPA determined that the site of the Cudahy facility should be examined, along with numerous other sites in the vicinity.deductible. At this time, the Company is unable to determine whether it has any liability in connection with this matter and if so, the amount or range of any such liability, and accordingly, has not established any accrualsliability. In the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a charge of $0.1 million for a potential loss from this matter.

(tabular dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
Two proceedings have been filed in California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles regarding alleged violations of the California Labor Code. Both cases are captioned Justin Price v. Mistras Group, Inc., one being a purported class action lawsuit on behalf of current and former Mistras employees in California, filed on June 10, 2020, and the other was filed on September 18, 2020, behalf of the State of California under the California Private Attorney General Act on the basis of the same alleged violations. The two cases was consolidated and requested payment of all damages, including unpaid wages, and various fines and penalties available under California law. On May 4, 2021, the Company agreed to a settlement of all claims in the cases, which was more formally documented pursuant to a settlement agreement completed October 5, 2021, as amended as of May 3, 2022. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company agreed to pay $2.3 million to resolve the allegations in these proceedings and to be responsible for the employer portion of payroll taxes on the amount of the settlement allocated to wages. The settlement as agreed upon by the parties received final court approval on September 26, 2022, and the Company paid the settlement proceeds and related payroll taxes to the claims administrator in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company recorded expense of approximately $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to this settlement, which is in addition to expense of $0.8 million the Company recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Pension Related Contingencies

Certain of Company’s subsidiaries had significant reductions in their unionized workers in 2018.The collective bargaining agreements for the employees of these subsidiaries required contributions for these employees to two national multi-employer pension funds.The reduction in employees resulted in the subsidiary incurring a complete withdrawal to one of the pension funds under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), which was fully satisfied in 2019.The Company has determined that the subsidiary is likely to incur partial or complete withdrawal liability to the other pension fund. The balance of the estimated total amount of this potential liability as of March 31, 2023 is approximately $2.5 million, which were incurred in 2018 and 2019.

Severance and labor disputes

During December 2019, the Company executed an agreement to sell the rights of certain customer "staff leasing" contracts related to its German subsidiary for total consideration of approximately $0.1 million, effective January 1, 2020. No other assets or liabilities other than those employee benefits related to employees working on the customer contracts were included in the sale. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has approximately $0.1 million of accrued estimated severance payment obligations, which takes into account the Company's estimate with respect to the employees that have been or will be transitioned to the German subsidiaries' other customers. The $0.2 million of estimated obligations is net of $0.4 million in payments made and $1.0 million in reversals due to employees being transitioned to customer contracts.

 
The Company is liable for contingent consideration in connection with certain of its acquisitions. As of September 30, 2017, total potential acquisition-related contingent consideration ranged from zero to approximately $8.6 million and would be payable upon the achievement of specific performance metrics by certain of the acquired companies over the next 2.8 years of operations. See Note 4 - Acquisitions to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s acquisitions.

On April 25, 2023, the Company settled the outstanding litigation described in Note 14-Commitments and Contingencies, Mistras Group, Inc. v. Epic Y-Grade Pipeline LP, pending in Texas state court. The lawsuit involves a claim against a customer for unpaid receivables and the customer’s counterclaim related to inspection of welds on various pipeline projects in Texas. The settlement will result in a payment by the Company of $0.3 million (which the Company estimates is significantly less than the cost of going to trial) and a release of its claim for $1.4 million of associated past due receivables which were fully reserved for in prior periods. The settlement is contingent on the parties executing a settlement agreement, which will include a release of all claims related to the matter and dismissal of the case with prejudice.

Overall, the Company has taken actions to help ensure the health and safety of Company employees and those of its customers and suppliers; maintain business continuity and financial strength and stability; and serve customers as they provide essential products and services to the world.

Earlier in 2022, the Company eliminated substantially all of the COVID related cost reduction initiatives undertaken in 2020, including re-installment of the savings plan employer match and increasing wages back to pre-pandemic amounts. Our cash position and liquidity remains strong. As of March 31, 2023, the cash balance was approximately $16.7 million, and with our Credit Agreement, provides us with significant liquidity.

In April 2021, the Biden Administration announced aggressive initiatives to battle climate change, which includes a significant reduction in the use of fossil fuels and a transition to electric vehicles and increased use of alternative energy. Any legislation or regulations that may be adopted to implement these measures may negatively impact our customers in the oil and gas market over the long-term, which presently is our largest market, although this initiative will likely benefit the alternative energy market, such as wind energy, for which we provide products and services. At this time, it is difficult to determine the magnitude and timing of the impact that climate change initiatives and legislation, if any, will have on these markets and the resulting impact on our business and operational results.

The Company is currently unable to predict with certainty the overall impact that the factors discussed above and the effect of inflationary pressures may have on its business, results of operations foror liquidity or in other ways which the threeCompany cannot yet determine. The Company’s European operations are currently experiencing higher energy costs, among other increased costs, due in part to the Russian-Ukrainian war. The Company will continue to monitor market conditions and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 were as follows:respond accordingly

Note About Non-GAAP Measures
 
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In this MD&A under the heading "Income (loss) from Operations", the non-GAAP financial performance measure "Income (Loss)(loss) from operations before special items” is used for each of our three operating segments, the Corporate segment and the "Total Company", with tables reconciling the measure to a financial measure under GAAP. This non-GAAP measurepresentation excludes from the GAAP measure "Income (Loss)(loss) from Operations" (a) transaction expenses related to acquisitions, such as professional fees and due diligence costs, (b) the net changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities, (c) impairment charges, (d) reorganization and (c)other costs, which includes items such as severance, labor relations matters and asset and lease termination costs and (e) other special items. These itemsadjustments have been excluded from the GAAP measure because these expenses and credits are not related to the Company’sour or Segment’sany individual segment's core business operations. The acquisition related costs and special items can be a net expense or credit in any given period.

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 "Income (loss) before special items"this non-GAAP measure in evaluating our performance. Income (loss) before special items excludes the identified adjustments, which provides an additional tooltools to compare our core business operating performance on a consistent basis and measure underlying trends and results in our business. Income (loss) before special items is not used to determine incentive compensation for executives or employees.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.
