The LGL Group Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results

The LGL Group, Inc. (NYSE: LGL) (the “Company” or “LGL”), announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

  • Revenues of $6.9 million compared to Q2 2020 revenues of $7.1 million
  • Operating income of $0.6 million versus $0.2 million for the prior year quarterly period
  • Diluted net income per share of zero compared to $0.05 per share for the prior year quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $0.8 million compared to $0.3 million for Q2 2020
  • Backlog was $21.3 million versus $19.8 million at December 31, 2020 and $22.5 million at June 30, 2020

The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mike Ferrantino, said, “I am optimistic as our markets have started to show improvement and we are beginning to benefit from our strategic and operational initiatives.”

Bill Drafts, President and Chief Executive Officer of LGL’s main operating unit, MtronPTI, stated, “While the avionics market continued to impact our results, we continue to grow our space business and delivered our first integrated microwave assembly to a top tier defense firm, gaining market share and broadening our technical capabilities and product offering.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS REVIEW

Revenues were $6.9 million versus $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, 2.5% below prior year. The decline in shipments to the avionics market was mostly offset by strong space business performance. The backlog was $21.3 million versus $20.4 million last quarter and $22.5 million for second quarter 2020. Quarterly bookings of $7.8 million show sequential improvement, from $7.1 million last quarter and $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, but remain substantially below pre-COVID-19 levels. Improvement in new avionics bookings started last quarter, but deliveries are not being scheduled until early next year; quarterly space market orders also trended upward during 2021.

Gross margins were 39.7% compared to 31.8% for the prior year quarter benefiting from favorable product mix and cost reductions including the elimination of certain previously required costs to preserve manufacturing capabilities in response to the COVID-19 impacts on our business. The Company’s India operation was shut down for five weeks during the second quarter of 2020.

Operating income of $0.6 million compared to $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2020 reflecting the margin improvement.

Loss on equity investment of $0.7 million compared to $0.1 million in last year’s second quarter. The higher loss reflects the impact of SPAC legal and other costs related to the planned third quarter DFNS and IronNet business combination.

Diluted earnings per share of zero compared to $0.05 per share in the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter increase in equity loss from the aforementioned business combination related costs ($0.6 million) offset the Company’s operating income for the period. Weighted average shares outstanding at June 30, 2021 were 5.3 million versus 5.2 million at June 30, 2020.

Quarterly adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 versus $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2020. (See GAAP reconciliation in the Appendix.)

BALANCE SHEET

The Company’s strong balance sheet reflects a net cash position, including marketable securities, of $21.2 million and total working capital of $28.4 million at June 30, 2021. The Company’s management continues to explore growth organically and through diversified merger and acquisitions and believes the relationship with the SPAC has enhanced its strategic profile in this context.

The previously announced LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. (NYSE-DFNS) business combination agreement with IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc. and related private placement are expected to close in the third quarter of 2021. A DFNS special meeting will be held on August 26, 2021; at which time, approval of the business combination transaction will be voted upon by shareholders.

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net income adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense, interest income (expense), income taxes expense (benefit), stock-based compensation expense, investment income and other items we believe are discrete events which have a significant impact on comparable GAAP measures and could distort an evaluation of our normal operating performance. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
