The LGL Group, Inc. Reports Full Year and Q4 2018 Financial Results

 

ORLANDO, FL, March 13, 2019 – The LGL Group, Inc. (NYSE MKT: LGL) (the “Company” or “LGL”), announced its financial results for the full year and quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Net income of $0.30 per share compared to a net income of $0.04 per share in 2017

Order backlog improved 49.5% to $17.5 million at December 31, 2018 from $11.7 million at December 31, 2017

Commenting on the Company’s 2018 results, Executive Chairman and CEO, Michael J. Ferrantino, Sr. stated, “In 2018 we experienced improvement across all of our metrics, which lined up nicely with the strategic plan we put in place in 2014. Most importantly in 2018 even after increasing revenues by almost $2.5 million, our backlog increased from 2017 by almost 50% to $17.5 million which has set the stage for another increase in revenue in 2019. Our goal is to ramp up shipments by the 3rd quarter so that we can still increase backlog but will get closer to a book to bill ratio of 1.”

Mr. Ferrantino added, “Coming off 2018, our team is excited about our business and with high morale continue down the road of continuous improvement. We remain focused on building products for our customers at the lowest cost, highest reliability, and ensure our company is easy to work with. To that end I once again thank our customers for their business and their faith in us, which they have rewarded with more business.”

Mr. Ferrantino continued, “To our Shareholders, we continue our focus on building shareholder value, and organically the company has delivered growth but unfortunately we have yet to be properly rewarded for our results. I firmly believe if we continue to improve our performance it will be rewarded. We continue to evaluate opportunities to grow through acquisitions, and while our cash position and ability to borrow if necessary is more than adequate, we are talking about your money so we continue to be very cautious; the right one will come along, and in the meantime we are committed to our organic strategy and feel that growth will continue.”

Management will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to review the Company's 2018 fourth quarter results. Participants are invited to access the call by dialing (844) 401-3350 (within the United States), or (248) 847-2523 (international callers) approximately fifteen minutes before the conference start time and provide the conference ID 5281628.

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 (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense, interest income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense 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.
