The LGL Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

By: Newsfile

Orlando, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2024) - The LGL Group, Inc. (NYSE American: LGL) ("LGL," "LGL Group," or the "Company") announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024

  • Total revenues decreased $96,000 to $888,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $984,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023

  • Income from continuing operations before income taxes and after non-controlling interests decreased $193,000 to $57,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023

  • Net income per diluted share decreased $0.03 to $0.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $0.03 for the three months ended March 31, 2023

  • Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $40,890,000 as of March 31, 2024

Tim Foufas, Co-Chief Executive Officer, stated, "While our Electronics Instruments segment reported a decrease in revenue for the quarter compared to Q1 2023, we are pleased with the improvement in our order backlog and recent sales initiatives. With regard to our investments, we remain mindful of current U.S. Treasury yields as we continue to seek value add opportunities to grow shareholder value."

Consolidated Results

First quarter 2024 net income available to LGL Group common stockholders was $21,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared with $157,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to:

  • lower Net sales due to lower backlog as of Q4 2023

  • lower Net gains (losses) driven by mark-to-market losses and lower realized gains on Marketable securities; and

  • higher Engineering, selling and administrative costs related to an increase in salaries and wages.

The decrease was partially offset by higher Net investment income on investments in U.S. Treasury money market funds due to the repositioning of the portfolio into U.S. Treasury money market funds that occurred during 2023.

Gross Margin

Gross margin declined to 48.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 56.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross margins from the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflects lower margin product mix combined with higher labor costs.

Backlog

As of March 31, 2024, our order backlog was $341,000, an increase of $198,000 from $143,000 as of December 31, 2023. The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on purchase orders, which we have determined are firm orders likely to be fulfilled primarily in the next 12 months but most of the backlog will ship in the next 90 days.
