Mercury Systems, Inc. (MRCY) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on the accuracy of Mercury's reported financial results.
Mercury's earnings first came into question on July 26, 2022, when investment research firm Glasshouse Research initiated coverage of Mercury with a strong sell report entitled "Roll-Up Mercury Systems Set to Unravel," concluding that Mercury's management "has used accounting gimmicks to obfuscate true economic earnings while concealing the decay of its core company."
Glasshouse alleges, in part, that: (1) Mercury's reported organic revenue is greatly overstated; (2) the acquisition of Physical Optics Corporation "has been a disaster;" (3) "[m]anagement has prematurely recognized revenue on significant projects boosting both revenue and earnings unsustainably;" (4) "[p]rogram delays and lack of critical parts have wreaked havoc on inventory, which will negatively impact margins going forward; (5) the company "grossly overstated" its free cash flow "as the company has been stiffing its vendors to conserve cash;" and (6) skyrocketing unbilled receivables "suggest a pull-forward of $110 million of revenue."
Then, on Aug. 2, 2022, Mercury announced disastrous Q4 2022 financial results, widely missing analysts' consensus estimates. The company primarily blamed material and order delays, in-quarter supply decommits, long lead times for high end semiconductors, and delayed supply in deliveries.
Each of these events drove the price of Mercury shares sharply lower.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Mercury may have cooked its books," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
