Transcat reports Q1 adjusted EPS 52c, consensus 27c

Reports Q1 revenue $60.6M, consensus $59.64M. “We are extremely pleased with our strong first quarter results, as double-digit organic Service revenue growth of 11% and increased productivity throughout our network of labs drove higher than expected Service gross margin. Service segment revenue grew 18% as demand in our highly regulated end markets, including life sciences, remained strong and our recent acquisitions continued to perform at a high level. Consolidated revenue was up 11% with gross margins expanding 160 basis points year over year as our diverse and unique value proposition continues to resonate well in the market and is resilient in times of economic uncertainty” commented Lee D. Rudow, President and CEO. “The Transcat Team continues to execute and deliver strong performance over time. Adjusted EBITDA growth of 16% for the first quarter is a testament to the successful execution of our automation and process improvement initiatives and our ability to leverage organic Service revenue growth.”
