ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Transcat, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNS) ('Transcat' or the 'Company'), a leading provider of mission critical calibration services and distributor of test and measurement equipment to Fortune 500 Manufacturers, today announced it has engaged international investor relations specialists MZ Group (MZ) to lead a comprehensive strategic investor relations and financial communications program across all key markets.
MZ Group will work closely with Transcat management to develop and implement a comprehensive Investor and Media Relations strategy designed to increase the Company's visibility throughout the investment community. The campaign will highlight Transcat's market-leading position providing mission critical, accredited calibration services and equipment to a blue-chip client base, with the footprint and scale to support large national opportunities. Since 1964, clients served include a diverse set of industries in life sciences, aerospace and government/defense.
Transcat's complementary business segments, combined with recent synergistic acquisitions, drove fiscal third quarter 2025 revenue of $66.8 million and full fiscal year 2024 growth of 13% to a record $259.5 million. High levels of recurring revenue streams in its Service segment have provided 63 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, and a gross margin of 34% in fiscal year 2024. Fiscal year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $38.6 million and net income of $13.6 million, up 28% from the prior year, further demonstrated the company's differentiated value proposition. With $19.3 million in operating free cash flow, access to $40.5 million available under an existing credit facility and low leverage ratio of only 0.97, Transcat is well positioned to build on its growth and M&A initiatives.
MZ has developed a distinguished reputation as a premier resource for institutional investors, brokers, analysts, and private investors and maintains offices worldwide. Chris Tyson, Executive Vice President & Partner at MZ North America, along with Directors Larry Holub and Brooks Hamilton, will advise Transcat's investor relations team in all facets of investor relations, including, but not limited to, the coordination of roadshows and investment conferences across key cities and building brand awareness with financial and social media outlets.
Chris Tyson commented: "The stringent regulatory standards for manufacturers imposed by entities including the FDA, FAA and Department of Defense to ensure product safety and environmental protection are driving the need for high-value calibration services. Growth from the increasing deployment of industrial automated systems and advanced manufacturing technologies demands more precise instrumentation and control, while medical device usage in diagnostics, treatment, and monitoring increases calibration service requirements. Additionally, high-precision instrumentation and strict safety protocols in aviation and defense necessitate frequent, exacting calibration. Across these industries, Markets and Markets estimates the global calibration services market size will grow to $8.1 billion by 2030. In the short term, required calibration provides recurring revenue and earnings visibility in an uncertain market. Longer term, domestic initiatives to bring manufacturing back to the US, most immediately the pharmaceutical industry, will provide additional growth opportunities. With this tremendous revenue potential, we look forward to sharing the Transcat story with our network of institutional investors, family offices and retail investors.'
'This is an exciting time for Transcat with recent acquisitions expanding our geographic footprint, capabilities, markets, revenue and margin,' said Lee D. Rudow, President and CEO of Transcat. 'Namely, our recently acquired Martin Calibration business is increasing our Midwest service presence, which is rich in both life sciences and aerospace and defense manufacturing. This acquisition and pipeline of opportunities present compelling cross-sell synergies to drive revenue growth and margin into these acquired customer bases and our installed base. We look forward to working with Chris and the entire team at MZ Group to communicate our business milestones in the weeks and months ahead.'
