("MtronPTI" or the "Company") and the Company's other communications and statements, other than historical facts, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable by law. Such statements include, in particular, statements about the Company's beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates, projections and intentions. These statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target," "goal," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of the Company's performance in future periods. The Company's actual future results may differ materially from those set forth in the Company's forward-looking statements. For information concerning these factors and related matters, see "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 25, 2024. However, other factors besides those referenced could adversely affect the Company's results, and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Any forward-looking statements made by the Company herein speak as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law. As a result, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no material changes to our significant accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Annual Report") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2024. For additional information, refer to Note B to the audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in the 2023 Annual Report.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the related notes included in the 2023 Annual Report. The consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2023 included herein has been derived from the audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in the 2023 Annual Report.

 

In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, including eliminations of material intercompany accounts and transactions) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results presented herein. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, research and development costs were approximately $714 and $2,029, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, research and development costs were approximately $566 and $1,630. Such costs are included within Engineering, selling and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Concentration Risks

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company's largest and second largest customers accounted for $4,481, or 33.9%, and $2,582, or 19.5%, of the Company's Revenues, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's largest and second largest customers accounted for $3,738, or 34.3%, and $2,796, or 25.7%, of the Company’s Revenues, respectively.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company's largest and second largest customers accounted for $13,808, or 38.1%, and $7,001, or 19.3%, of the Company's Revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's largest and second largest customers accounted for $8,795, or 28.9%, and $5,467, or 18.0%, of the Company's Revenues, respectively.

 

A significant portion of the Company's accounts receivable is concentrated with a relatively small number of customers. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's four largest customers accounted for approximately $4,268, or 68.6%, of gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, four of the Company's largest customers accounted for approximately $3,774, or 76.4%, of gross accounts receivable. The Company carefully evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers in deciding to extend credit. As a result, the Company has experienced very low historical bad debt expense and believes the related risk to be minimal.

 

Impairments of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets to the lowest level to which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying cost of the assets based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows. If an asset is held for sale, management reviews its estimated fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined using pertinent market information, including appraisals or broker's estimates, and/or projected discounted cash flows. In the event an impairment loss is identified, it is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset.

 

We performed an assessment to determine if there were any indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We concluded that, while there were events and circumstances in the macro-environment that did impact us, we did not experience any entity-specific indicators of asset impairment and no triggering events occurred.

 

Future Application of Accounting Standards

 

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"), to address improvements to reportable segment disclosures. The standard primarily requires the following disclosure on an annual and interim basis: (i) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; and (ii) other segment items and description of its composition. The standard also requires current annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profits or losses and assets to be disclosed in interim periods and the title and position of the CODM with an explanation of how the CODM uses the report measure(s) of segment profits or losses in assessing segment performance. The provisions of the standard are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We are assessing the impact of this standard.

 

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). The standard requires disaggregated information about a company's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The provisions of the standard are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This standard applies prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are assessing the impact of this standard.

The material agreements whereby the Company generates revenues and expenses with affiliated entities are discussed below:

 

Investment Activity with GAMCO Investors, Inc.

 

Certain balances are held and invested in U.S. Treasury funds managed or advised by GAMCO Investors, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries (collectively, "GAMCO" or the "Fund Manager"), which is related to the Company through certain of our shareholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company paid the Fund Manager a fund management fee of approximately 8 basis points annually of the asset balances under management. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not pay the Fund Manager a fund management fee as no assets were under management. The fund management fees are not paid directly by the Company and are deducted prior to the fund striking its net asset value ("NAV").

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance with the Fund Manager was $6,658 and $2,765, respectively, all of which was classified within Cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company earned income on its investments with the Fund Manager totaling $64 and $143, respectively, all of which was included in Interest income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not earn any income on its investments with the Fund Manager.

 

Transactions with The LGL Group, Inc.

 

Transitional Administrative and Management Services Agreement

On October 7, 2022, the separation of the MtronPTI business from The LGL Group, Inc. ("LGL Group") was completed (the "Separation") and the Company became an independent, publicly traded company trading on the NYSE American under the stock symbol "MPTI." The Separation was completed through LGL Group's distribution (the "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 September 30, 2022, the record date for the Distribution.

M-tron Industries, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

 

MtronPTI and The LGL Group, Inc. ("LGL Group") entered into an Amended and Restated Transitional Administrative and Management Services Agreement ("MtronPTI TSA"), which sets out the terms for services to be provided between the two companies post Separation. The current terms result in a net monthly payment of $4 per month from LGL Group to MtronPTI.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, LGL Group paid the Company $12 under the terms of the MtronPTI TSA, which were recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, LGL Group paid the Company $36 under the terms of the MtronPTI TSA, which were recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Tax Indemnity and Sharing Agreement

MtronPTI and LGL Group entered into a Tax Indemnity and Sharing Agreement ("MtronPTI Tax Agreement"), which sets out the terms for which party would be responsible for taxes imposed on LGL Group if the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify as a tax-free transaction under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) if such failure were the result of actions taken after the Distribution by MtronPTI or LGL Group.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no taxes related to the Distribution have been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Other Transactions

MtronPTI and LGL Group agreed to share the salaries and benefits related to certain employees incurred by LGL Group. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reimbursed LGL Group $27 and $80, respectively, of the salaries and benefits of certain employees, which represents 50% of those costs and were recorded in Engineering, selling and administrative on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

 

4.     Income Taxes

 

The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period presented. To determine the annual effective tax rate, the Company estimates both the total income (loss) before income taxes for the full year and the jurisdictions in which that income (loss) is subject to tax. The actual effective tax rate for the full year may differ from these estimates if income (loss) before income taxes is greater than or less than what was estimated or if the allocation of income (loss) to jurisdictions in which it is taxed is different from the estimated allocations.

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 24.6% and 22.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 21.7% and 21.4%, respectively. Differences between the Company’s effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% are primarily due to the impact of research and development credits, permanent differences, and state taxes.

 

 

5.     Revolving Credit Agreement

 

On June 15, 2022, MtronPTI entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") for a revolving line of credit with Fifth Third Bank, National Association ("Fifth Third Bank"), for up to $5,000 bearing interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 2.25%, with a SOFR floor of 0.00%. The Loan Agreement has a maturity date of June 15, 2025 and contains various affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for lines of credit and transactions of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of debt and liabilities, as well as financial reporting requirements. The Loan Agreement also imposes certain financial covenants based on Debt Service Coverage Ratio, Current Ratio, and the Ratio of Total Liabilities to Total Net Worth (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement). All loans pursuant to the Loan Agreement will be secured by a continuing and unconditional first priority security interest in and to any and all property of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit with Fifth Third Bank.

a $674, or 10.8%, increase in Manufacturing cost of sales from $6,230 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $6,904 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 driven by sales of higher margin products; and

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company presents its financial condition and results of operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and representative of its business results. Some of the measurements the Company uses are "Non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules and regulations. The non-GAAP financial measures the Company presents are listed below and may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies. 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 GAAP.

 

The Company uses the following operating performance measure because the Company believes it provides both management and investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance as well as a more accurate view of the Company's ability to generate cash profits:

 

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA") is derived by excluding the items set forth below from Income before income taxes. Excluded items include the following:

 

Interest income

 

Interest expense

 

Depreciation

 

Amortization

 

Non-cash stock-based compensation

 

Other discrete items that might have a significant impact on comparable GAAP measures and could distort the evaluation of our normal operating performance.

Capital Resources

 

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash generated from operations will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months from the date of this filing. At various times throughout the year and as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, some deposits held at financial institutions were in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances.

 

Our Board of Directors has adhered to a practice of not paying cash dividends. This policy takes into account our long-term growth objectives, including our anticipated investments for organic growth, potential acquisitions and stockholders' desire for capital appreciation of their holdings.

 

Revolving Line of Credit

 

On June 15, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) for a revolving line of credit with Fifth Third Bank, National Association ("Fifth Third Bank"), for up to $5,000 bearing interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 2.25%, with a SOFR floor of 0.00%. The Loan Agreement has a maturity date of June 15, 2025 and contains various affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for lines of credit and transactions of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of debt and liabilities, as well as financial reporting requirements. The Loan Agreement also imposes certain financial covenants based on Debt Service Coverage Ratio, Current Ratio, and the Ratio of Total Liabilities to Total Net Worth (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement). All loans pursuant to the Loan Agreement are secured by a continuing and unconditional first priority security interest in and to any and all property of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit with Fifth Third Bank.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies related to estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments, including those related to income taxes and inventories. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of September 30, 2024 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2024, were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
