M-tron Industries, Inc. Reports Fiscal Year 2022 Results

M-tron Industries, Inc. (NYSE American: MPTI) (“Company” or “MtronPTI”) announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

  • Revenue of $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 26.4% compared to $6.9 million for the comparable prior year period. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, revenues were $31.8 million, a 19.3% increase from $26.7 million for the prior year.
  • Basic and diluted net income of $0.07 per share compared to $0.01 for the prior year quarter, and income per share of $0.67 for the fiscal year versus income of $0.59 for the prior year.
  • Backlog of $46.2 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of 5% compared with $44.1 million at the end of Q3, 2022, and up 57% compared to $29.4 million at December 31, 2021.
  • Free cash flow conversion, a Non-GAAP ratio that measures the company's ability to convert profits into free cash flow, representing cash from operations minus capital expenditures, as a percentage of cash from operations, was 60% for 2022, after adjusting for the $219,000 in excess spin-off costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP measure, was $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 versus $3.0 million for the prior year.

Michael Ferrantino, MtronPTI’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “MtronPTI increased its backlog for a fourth straight quarter and is looking forward to recording revenue from this increased backlog throughout 2023 and into 2024, while focusing on maintaining and improving margins wherever possible, and being vigilant on general and administrative costs. With our current resources and our valued customers and employees we are well positioned for growth as we start out our first full year as a public company.”

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 $8,673,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, or 26.4% above revenues of $6,860,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Total revenues were $31,845,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, or 19.3% above revenues of $26,694,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The revenue increase reflects the recovering avionics market and strong defense product shipments.

Gross margin improved to 35.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from 34.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and improved to 35.6% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, from 35.0% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 primarily reflecting the impact from higher revenues. While 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, we do see signs of improvement.

Backlog was $46,180,000, an increase of 5% from $44,074,000 at September 30, 2022 and an increase of 57% compared to the backlog of $29,439,000 as of December 31, 2021. The Company attained record backlog levels as of December 31, 2022. Quarterly bookings were $10,779,000, $9,259,000, $13,473,000 and $15,075,000 for the fourth, 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 expected to ship throughout 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 $828,000 for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to operating income of $198,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $2,875,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 compared to operating income of $2,114,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The increase for the three months reflects higher revenue and slightly higher margins offset by product mix and inflationary pressures in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase for the fiscal year reflects higher revenue and margins partly offset by inflationary cost pressures and increased stock compensation expense in 2022.

Net income was $190,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $26,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, and $1,798,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1,582,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The increase for the three months was primarily from increased business volume, offset by inflation and increased operating costs. The increase for the fiscal year 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.07 and $0.01, respectively, and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.67 and $0.59, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP measure, was $4,008,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 versus $2,959,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA does not include the potential impact from additional costs of being a publicly traded company for all periods prior to MtronPTI’s spin-off on October 7, 2022.

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.
