The LGL Group, Inc. (NYSE American: LGL) (the “Company” or “LGL”) announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Engineering, selling and administrative expense (“ES&A”) costs of $558,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes ES&A expenses of LGL’s operating subsidiary Precise Time and Frequency, LLC (“PTF”) totaling $178,000 and $380,000 for LGL’s corporate ES&A. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, PTF had ES&A of $167,000 and LGL recorded $855,000.
The Company reported an operating loss of $309,000 compared to an operating loss of $847,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease of $538,000 largely relates to costs now expensed by M-tron Industries, Inc. following its spin-off from LGL on October 7, 2022.
Investment income of $345,000 was reported versus the prior year of $45,000 due to increased performance on the Company’s asset portfolio. This portfolio consists primarily of money markets and US treasury cash equivalents. It generated $198,000 of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 versus $1,000 for the prior year comparable period benefitting from increased short-term interest rates.
“LGL started 2023 with $38.1 million in cash and marketable securities. While these assets generate income from US Treasuries and cash equivalent money markets, we are executing on efforts for growth and value creation of these corporate assets,” stated Michael Ferrantino the Company’s Co-CEO.
Marc Gabelli, Chairman and Co-CEO asserts, “In context, LGL shareholders should benefit from dislocations in traditional bank lending and public markets in general.”
In April 2023, the Company formed a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”), Lynch Systems Acquisition Holding Company, LLC, to advance the Company’s merchant business activities. This SPV forms part of the services business unit, Lynch Capital International LLC, (“Lynch Capital”). “The opportunity to scale LGL’s initial investments and develop long term operating subsidiaries presents itself through the prospect of syndicating growth capital around an LGL base,” Marc Gabelli asserts further. LGL continues to pursue direct MNA lift outs and tuck in transactions to follow through on our growth initiatives.
The Company management transition remains in place as Michael Ferrantino finalizes the transitioning of continued operations, and will eventually resign his executive position following the satisfactory conclusion of the second quarter, while remaining on the LGL Board of Directors. “We thank Michael for this oversight,” Marc Gabelli adds. As part of this transition, LGL is in the process of expanding its Board of Directors and is actively considering independent candidates having prior corporate transactional experience as well as persons who will expand the diversity of the board.
Michael Ferrantino furthered, “I will continue to remain active in the development of LGL value. For example, the PTF operations have significant room for expansion as they operate in a highly fragmented sub segment of the time and frequency references testing market. And while this is an arena ripe for consolidation, these are mostly owner controlled private business which need patience to transact.”
Tim Foufas, a long time LGL board member, will join as Co-CEO along with Marc Gabelli, assuming the role vacated by Michael Ferrantino. This is subject to final approvals and ratification after Michael Ferrantino’s transition. “I look forward to furthering the development of LGL opportunities for shareholder value creation,” said Mr. Foufas.
