- Revenue of $234.2 million, up 5.0% driven by deeper service line penetration with recurring customers and market share gains -

-Reiterates 2025 outlook -

TOMBALL, Texas, May 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Acuren Corporation (NYSE American: TIC) ("Acuren" or the "Company"), a leading provider of critical asset integrity services, today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The presentation of our operating results reflects the Company’s acquisition of ASP Acuren Holdings, Inc. ("ASP Acuren" or the "ASP Acuren Acquisition"). The period from January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025, is referred to as the "Successor" period and the period from January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024 is referred to as the "Predecessor" period.

Tal Pizzey, CEO of Acuren stated: "We delivered 7.2% organic growth in the quarter, highlighting the resilience of the recurring nature of our revenues even in a cautious economic environment. We also delivered solid free cash flow, further solidified our balance sheet with the repricing of our debt, and continued to realize benefits from recent successful acquisitions. First quarter margins reflect a higher contribution from our run and maintain site work which is highly recurring in nature with lower margins than our overall mix. We remain focused on organic growth and pricing discipline, which is underscored by our unchanged full year outlook. Through differentiated services, a customer-first mindset, and operational efficiency, we believe we are well-positioned to unlock long-term shareholder value."

First Quarter 2025 Highlights

Successor Revenue of $234.2 million represents a 5.0% increase compared to $223.1 million of Predecessor Revenue in the prior Predecessor quarter. The increase is driven primarily by strong organic performance, including higher run and maintain revenue and service line expansion. Successor Net Loss of $25.9 million compared to Predecessor Net Loss of $1.3 million in the prior Predecessor quarter. The Successor Net Loss for the 2025 quarter includes increased depreciation and amortization related to the ASP Acuren Acquisition, a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset, and planned public company and business transformation costs. Successor Adjusted EBITDA of $25.9 million compared to $35.5 million in the prior Predecessor quarter. Successor Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.0%, compared to 15.9% in the prior Predecessor quarter. The decreases are primarily attributable to planned public company costs in the Successor quarter, along with certain high margin, discreet activities in the prior Predecessor quarter partially offset by a higher contribution to revenue from our run and maintain customer sites in the Successor quarter.

Story Continues

Robert A.E. Franklin, Co-Chairman of Acuren commented: "Acuren's start to 2025 demonstrates the company's operational discipline and resilience. Our strong cash flow generation highlights the fundamental strength of our business model, while our robust balance sheet gives us the flexibility to pursue value-enhancing initiatives while maintaining our commitment to financial discipline. As we move forward, we remain focused on delivering sustainable growth, expanding margins, and continuing to build a premier testing, inspection, certification and compliance organization."

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At March 31, 2025, the Company had total liquidity of $224.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $155.7 million plus undrawn capacity on the Company’s $75.0 million revolving credit facility. Total term loan debt was $752.4 million, net of debt issuance costs at quarter end. At March 31, 2025, the Company’s basic and diluted shares of common stock outstanding were 121,476,215 and 122,476,215, respectively.

Guidance

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Organic Change in Service Revenue, and Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As used in this press release, Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as Gross Profit less depreciation expense included in cost of revenue for the periods presented. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is defined as Gross Profit divided by Revenue. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the periods presented and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of certain non-cash and other specifically identified items for the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue. Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A less depreciation and amortization and the impact of certain non-cash and other specifically identified items for the periods presented. Organic change in service revenues provides a consistent basis for a year-over-year comparison in net revenues as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, divestitures, and the impact of changes due to foreign currency translation.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures and additional financial information both in explaining its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the Company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the Company’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (b) permit investors to compare the Company with its peers, (c) determines certain elements of management’s incentive compensation, and (d) provide consistent period-to-period comparisons of the results.

While the Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is included later in this press release.
