Results from Operations

Total revenues increased $167,000, or 18.2%, to $1,085,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $918,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher shipments in the Electronic Instruments segment partially offset by lower investment income earned driven by lower yields on investments in U.S. Treasury money market funds.

Net (loss) income available to LGL Group common stockholders was ($622,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with ($6,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to non-cash incentive stock-based compensation granted to officers in January 2026, a slight decrease in net investment income, and higher materials and components costs partially offset by higher sales.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 51.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 52.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in gross margins reflects higher costs of materials and components partially offset by higher revenues.

Backlog

As of March 31, 2026, our order backlog was $1,525,000, an increase of $900,000, or 144.0%, from $625,000 as of December 31, 2025. The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on purchase orders, which we have determined are firm orders likely to be fulfilled primarily in the next 12 months but most of the backlog will ship in the next 90 days.
