LGL - The LGL Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

Orlando, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2025) - 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, 2025.

  • Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $42.0 million as of March 31, 2025
  • Form S-1 expected to be filed in second quarter with an amended Warrant Agreement that includes over-subscription privilege
  • P3 Logistic Solutions' tactical edge artificial intelligence contract development strengthens
  • Precise Time and Frequency revenues increased 27% in Q1 2025
  • Morgan Group Holding Co. receives GAMCO final agreements and is expected to close within second quarter

Results from Operations

Total revenues increased $30,000 to $918,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $888,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to higher shipments in the Electronic Instruments segment.

Net (loss) income available to LGL Group common stockholders was ($6,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to:

  • lower Net investment income on investments in U.S. Treasury money market funds due to lower yields;
  • higher Manufacturing costs of sales driven by the increase in Net sales; and
  • higher Engineering, selling and administrative costs related to an increase in salaries and wages.

The decrease was partially offset by higher Net sales due to higher backlog as of December 31, 2024.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased to 52.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 48.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in gross margins reflects a higher margin product mix.

Backlog

As of March 31, 2025, our order backlog was $295,000, a decrease of $41,000 from $336,000 as of December 31, 2024. 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.
