Third Quarter 2024

 

Total revenues increased $201,000 to $1,179,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $978,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023

 

Income from continuing operations before income taxes and after non-controlling interests decreased $57,000 to $120,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $177,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023

Fiscal Year to Date 2024

 

Total revenues increased $452,000 to $3,135,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $2,683,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

Income from continuing operations before income taxes and after non-controlling interests increased $95,000 to $390,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $295,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $41,618,000 as of September 30, 2024

"We are also thrilled to welcome Cameron Pforr to our team, whose expertise will help drive our strategy forward as we continue to actively pursue investment opportunities."

 

Consolidated Results

 

Third Quarter 2024 net income available to LGL Group common stockholders was $72,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with $108,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to:

 

higher Manufacturing cost of sales reflecting sales of higher-cost products; and

 

higher Engineering, selling and administrative driven by changes in headcount and higher wages and benefits.

 

The decrease was partially offset by higher Net sales driven by higher product shipments in Q3 2024.

 

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased to 43.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 55.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to sales of lower margin products.

 

Fiscal year to date 2024 net income available to LGL Group common stockholders was $230,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with $135,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in 2023. The increase was primarily due to:

 

higher Net sales driven by higher product shipments; and

 

higher Net investment income on investments in U.S. Treasury money market funds due to the repositioning of the portfolio into U.S. Treasury money market funds that occurred during 2023.

 

The increase was partially offset by:

 

lower Net gains (losses) driven by lower mark-to-market movements and sales of Marketable securities;

 

higher Manufacturing cost of sales consistent with the overall growth in Net sales and sales of higher-cost products during Q3 2024; and

 

higher Engineering, selling and administrative driven by changes in headcount and higher wages and benefits.

 

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased to 50.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 53.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflecting sales of lower margin products.
