Montrose Chief Executive Officer and Director, Vijay Manthripragada, commented, "Our uniquely integrated portfolio of environmental science-based solutions and technology continues to position Montrose to exceed expectations. We reported our highest-ever first-quarter revenue, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, and operating cash flow. In November 2024, we announced an acquisition pause to focus on stated objectives—to deliver high-single-digit organic revenue growth, enhance margins, improve cash flow generation, prioritize redemption of the preferred shares, optimize our balance sheet, and maintain ample liquidity. Our first quarter performance demonstrates the initial benefits of this shift in our focus. Numerous tailwinds, which we expect to sustain, drove our strong results and underpin confidence in our strengthened 2025 guidance. Examples of key tailwinds include: our private sector clients' increasing industrial activity, the impact of US state regulations on our private and public sector clients, and the strategic advantages of our integrated business model and service portfolio."
Mr. Manthripragada continued, "Our exceptional team is dedicated to achieving our stated goals and enhancing stockholder value. We remain unwavering in our commitment to fostering economic growth while improving environmental stewardship."

2025 Updated Guidance

2025 guidance incorporates the anticipated impacts of recent announcements from the US EPA, changes in tariff policy announced to date, and broader macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. Montrose expects to be able to proactively address any future impact of tariffs on its project pricing and/or cost structure. Tariffs are not expected to impact Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 as a percentage of revenue meaningfully. The Company's earnings exposure to currency and interest rate fluctuations is significantly hedged. Montrose maintains a strong local presence and domestic workforce with unique technical capabilities across all key geographies. As a result, the effect of current geopolitical dynamics on client relationships has been minimal and is expected to remain so.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our results under GAAP, in this release we also present certain other supplemental financial measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, including, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income per Share. We calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs, as set forth in greater detail in the table below. We calculate Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) before amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, fair value changes to financial instruments and contingent earnouts, discontinued specialty lab, and other gain or losses, as set forth in greater detail in the table below. Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income per Share represents Adjusted Net Income attributable to stockholders divided by the fully diluted number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate our financial performance and compare it to that of our peers, evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting and capital allocation decisions and in connection with our executive incentive compensation. Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income per Share are useful metrics to evaluate ongoing business performance after interest and tax. These measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe they are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because they allow for more consistent comparisons of financial performance between periods by excluding gains and losses that are non-operational in nature or outside the control of management, and, in the case of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, by excluding items that may differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments.
These non-GAAP measures do, however, have certain limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income per Share should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which we may make adjustments. In addition, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income per Share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries, and other companies may not present these or similar measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using these measures as supplemental financial metrics and in conjunction with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single measure and to view Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income per Share in conjunction with the related GAAP measures.
Additionally, we have provided estimates regarding Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for 2025. These projections account for estimates of revenue, operating margins and corporate and other costs. However, we cannot reconcile our projection of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable efforts because of the unpredictable or unknown nature of certain significant items excluded from Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and the resulting difficulty in quantifying the amounts thereof that are necessary to estimate net income (loss). Specifically, we are unable to estimate for the future impact of certain items, including income tax (expense) benefit, stock-based compensation expense, fair value changes and the accounting for the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. We expect the variability of these items could have a significant impact on our reported GAAP financial results.
In this release we also reference our organic growth. We define organic growth as the change in revenues excluding revenues from i) our environmental emergency response business, ii) acquisitions for the first twelve months following the date of acquisition, and iii) businesses held for sale, disposed of or discontinued. Management uses organic growth as one of the means by which it assesses our results of operations. Organic growth is not, however, a measure of revenue growth calculated in accordance with
In a given reporting period, when we refer to revenue changes driven by acquisitions, we are referring to the revenue contribution from any acquisition from its closing date through the first 12 months of that acquisition, at which point any subsequent contribution therefrom would be organic.
