Transcat reports Q3 EPS 56c, consensus 35c

Reports Q3 revenue $65.2M, consensus $63.7M. “We are extremely pleased with our third quarter results as Service gross margin expanded 250 basis points versus prior year driven by strong organic Service revenue growth and increased productivity throughout our network of labs. Adjusted EBITDA growth of 39% for the third quarter reflects our ability to leverage organic Service revenue growth and the successful integration of acquired companies. Consolidated revenue was up 14% with gross margin expansion of 350 basis points year over year driven by our differentiated value proposition, excellent performance in the high-margin rental business, and execution of our automation and process improvement initiatives. Service segment revenue grew 15% as demand in our highly regulated end markets, including life sciences, remained strong and our recent acquisitions continued to perform at a high level” commented Lee D. Rudow, CEO. “The Transcat Team continues to deliver strong revenue growth and sustainable gross margin expansion.”
