Mirion Technologies, Inc. (“Mirion”), a leading provider of detection, measurement, analysis and monitoring solutions to the medical, nuclear, research and defense end markets, today announced its fiscal year 2021 results.

Thomas Logan, Mirion CEO, said “I am pleased with our fiscal year 2021 results. We delivered solid growth and expanding margins despite the continuing global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we finished the year with continued demand and a strong backlog enhancing our visibility for the year ahead. For fiscal year 2022, we expect to deliver mid-single digit organic growth driven by our leading product portfolio, and augmented by disciplined acquisitive growth.”

Larry Kingsley, incoming Chairman⁴, said “Mirion is well positioned to continue to drive long-term growth and significant shareholder value. Tom and his team have done a great job in building leading positions across industries through a global footprint, featuring real technological differentiation, limited macro-economic sensitivity, and opportunities for sustained improvements over time. Coupled with a robust product portfolio, a strong R&D platform, and ample room for integration and efficiency initiatives, I am excited about the near and long-term prospects for internal and external stakeholders.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Mirion believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Mirion’s financial condition and results of operations. For further information regarding these non-GAAP measures, including the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release. For further information on Mirion’s fiscal year 2021 results, please see the registration statement on Form S-4 that was filed by GSAH with the SEC.

1. U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is referred to as “GAAP”.

2. Adjusted revenues is defined as U.S. GAAP revenues adjusted to remove the impact of purchase accounting on the recognition of deferred revenue. Pro forma adjusted revenues is equal to adjusted revenues plus the pro forma impact to revenues of all acquisitions reflected for each respective year. Adjusted revenues and pro forma adjusted revenues are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

3. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding the items described under “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Pro forma adjusted EBITDA is equal to adjusted EBITDA plus the pro forma impact to EBITDA of all acquisitions reflected for each respective year and reflects constant foreign exchange rates.

4. Larry Kingsley has been nominated by GSAH for election by its stockholders in connection with the proposed business combination with GS Acquisition Holdings Corp II.

5. The financial outlook is forward-looking and actual results may differ materially as a result of many factors. Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes the impact of purchase accounting on the recognition of deferred revenue, stock compensation expense, debt extinguishment, and the impact of foreign currency rates and purchase accounting adjustments. We have not provided the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation for pro forma adjusted revenue and adjusted EBITDA is not available without unreasonable effort.

6. GS Acquisition Holdings Corp II founder shares (the “promote,” excluding warrants) are subject to vesting in three equal tranches, based on the volume-weighted average price of GSAH Class A common stock being greater than or equal to $12.00, $14.00 and $16.00 per share (each, a “Founder Share Vesting Event”) for any 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period. The founder shares will be forfeited to the Company for no consideration if they fail to vest within five years of the closing of the business combination. Vesting of the founder shares will be accelerated upon certain sale events based on the per share price of GSAH Class A common stock in such sale event.

7. The $200 million PIPE investment was committed by affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and may be syndicated prior to the closing of the business combination. The $125 million equity backstop commitment is to be used in the event that the minimum cash condition in the business combination agreement is not satisfied.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
