M-tron Industries, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

M-tron Industries, Inc. (NYSE American: MPTI) (“Company” or “MtronPTI”) announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

  • Revenue of $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 17.3% compared to $7.2 million for the comparable prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues were $23.2 million, a 16.8% increase from $19.8 million for the comparable prior year period.
  • Basic and diluted net income of $0.19 per share compared to $0.24 for the prior year quarter, and income per share of $0.60 for the nine months versus income of $0.58 for the comparable prior year period.
  • Backlog of $44.1 million at September 30, 2022, an increase of 49.7% compared with $29.4 million at the end of Q4 2021, and up 102.4% compared to $21.8 million at September 30, 2021.
  • Unused and undrawn revolving line of credit of $5.0 million at September 30, 2022.
  • EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.5 million versus $2.3 million for the comparable prior year period.

Michael Ferrantino, MtronPTI’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “MtronPTI increased its backlog for a third straight quarter and our outlook for the near future is bright. MtronPTI begins the fourth quarter as a newly public company on strong financial footing. We would like to thank our customers, stockholders and especially our employees for their continuing support in our journey.”

Results from Operations

The Company has one business segment; electronic components, focused on the design, manufacture and marketing of highly engineered, high reliability frequency and spectrum control products. These electronic components ensure reliability and security in aerospace and defense communications, low noise and base accuracy for laboratory instruments, and synchronous data transfers throughout the wireless and Internet infrastructure.

Total revenues were $8,417,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, or 17.3% above revenues of $7,173,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Total revenues were $23,172,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, or 16.8% above revenues of $19,834,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The revenue increase reflects the recovering avionics market and strong defense product shipments.

Gross margin declined to 32.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 35.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and improved to 35.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from 35.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflecting increased operating costs and inflationary headwinds due to labor and materials cost increases on long term contracts and the effects of product mix changes which were offset by the impact from higher revenues. We continue to experience the effects of increased turnover that began during the COVID-19 pandemic (“Covid”), which increases our labor costs while also impacting productivity as we work to train new employees.

Backlog was $44,074,000, an increase of 49.7% from $29,439,000 at December 31, 2021 and an increase of 102.4% compared to the backlog of $21,775,000 as of September 30, 2021. The Company attained record backlog levels as of September 30, 2022. Quarterly bookings were $9,259,000, $13,473,000 and $15,075,000 for the third, second and first quarters of 2022, respectively and $14,524,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021. This booking trend in excess of our product shipments reflects strong defense orders, much of which is not expected to ship until 2023 and into 2024. Strong orders from the recovering avionics market also drove the increase in 2022 bookings over 2021 bookings. Supply chain constraints within our industry have pushed our customers to order well in advance to secure product deliveries for their production requirements.

The Company reported operating income of $630,000 for the third quarter of 2022 compared to operating income of $821,000 for the third quarter of 2021 and $2,047,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to operating income of $1,916,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease for the three months reflects higher revenue and margins offset by product mix and inflationary pressures in the third quarter of 2022. The increase for the nine months reflects higher revenue and margins partly offset by inflationary cost pressures and increased stock compensation expense in the first nine months of 2022.

Net income was $503,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $638,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and $1,608,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1,556,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease for the three months was primarily from the previously discussed unfavorable product mix, inflation, and increased operating costs, offset by increased business volume. The increase for the nine months was primarily from the previously discussed increased business volume partly offset by certain unfavorable operating costs. Basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.19 and $0.24, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.60 and $0.58, respectively.

EBITDA on a standalone basis was $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 versus $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. EBITDA on a standalone basis does not include the potential impact from additional costs of being a publicly traded company.

MtronPTI’s Separation

On August 3, 2022, The LGL Group, Inc. (“LGL Group,” “LGL” or the “Former Parent”) announced that its Board of Directors approved the previously announced separation of the MtronPTI business into an independent, publicly traded company (the "Separation").

On October 7, 2022, the Separation was completed through LGL Group’s distribution of 100% of the shares of the Company’s common stock to holders of LGL Group's common stock as of the close of business on August 12, 2022, the record date for the Distribution. As a result of the Distribution, LGL Group's stockholders of record received one-half of one share of the Company's common stock for every share of LGL Group's common stock held by them. On October 7, 2022, the Company became an independent, publicly traded company trading on the NYSE American under the stock symbol "MPTI." LGL Group retained no ownership interest in the Company as of the completion of the Separation.

In connection with the Separation, the Company wrote off $4,439,000 of intercompany receivables due from LGL Group, which brought intercompany balances to zero, and also made a cash payment of approximately $6,000 to LGL Group on October 7, 2022, bringing the Company’s cash balance to $1,000,000 as of the date of the Separation.

We believe the Separation of MtronPTI will allow the Company to tailor its strategic plans and growth opportunities, more efficiently raise and allocate resources, including capital raised through debt or equity offerings, provide flexibility to use its own stock as currency for incentive compensation and potential acquisitions and provide investors a more targeted investment opportunity.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED BALANCE SHEET

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet has been prepared to include transaction accounting adjustments to reflect the financial condition and results of operations as if MtronPTI were a separate stand-alone entity as if the spin-off had occurred as of September 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet constitutes forward-looking information and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet is provided for illustrative and informational purposes only. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable; however, such adjustments are subject to change.

Transaction accounting adjustments that reflect the effects of MtronPTI’s legal separation from LGL include:

  • The contribution by the Company of the companies that comprise MtronPTI and the retention by the Company of certain specified assets and liabilities reflected in our historical combined financial statements, in each case, pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement;
  • The anticipated post-separation capital structure, including: (i) the true up of cash balances to $1.0 million; and (ii) the issuance and distribution in kind of our common stock to holders of LGL common stock;
  • The impact of, and transactions contemplated by, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, and other agreements related to the separation of MtronPTI and the provisions contained therein; and
  • The resulting elimination of LGL’s net investment in us.

The pro forma financial information presented herein reflects all Management’s Adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary to a fair statement of the pro forma financial information presented.

Our retained cash balance is subject to adjustments prior to and following the completion of the separation. The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet reflects the adjustments as of September 30, 2022, but such adjustments represent a financial projection and are subject to change upon completion of the spin-off.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet

 (a)

Represents an adjustment to reflect $1,000,000 of cash balances to be retained by MtronPTI.

 (b)

At the time of the separation, we will no longer have amounts due from related party of $4,465,000. Accordingly, we have removed this amount from the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

 (c)

At the time of separation, LGL will retain the net liabilities associated with the uncertain tax positions related to its various tax filings and certain deferred tax assets relating to tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards. At September 30, 2022, this amount was expected to be $1,367,000, leaving MtronPTI with deferred tax assets of $518,000.

 (d)

Reflects the reclassification of LGL’s net investment in us, which was recorded in net investment by LGL, into paid-in capital and common stock to reflect the assumed issuance of 2,676,469 shares of our common stock with $0.01 par value per share pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement immediately prior to the separation. We have assumed the number of outstanding shares of our common stock based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on September 30, 2022.
