ORLANDO, FL, November 7, 2018 – The LGL Group, Inc. (NYSE American: LGL) (the “Company” or “LGL”), announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Commenting on the Company’s Q3 2018 results, Executive Chairman and CEO, Michael J. Ferrantino, Sr. stated, “Revenues and backlog increased substantially, and our book to bill ratio continue to grow. We experienced growth of 20.4% in revenues over the prior year quarter, while at the same time backlog increased 62%, exceeding $16 million at the end of the quarter. This very strong performance in sales and revenues, combined with our continued profitability, validates our strategy of pursuing and developing higher margin, market-driven, highly engineered assemblies in the defense and aerospace markets.”

Mr. Ferrantino continued, “We are continuing to work in pursuit of shareholder value. With the solidified performance of our core business we are looking at opportunities to deploy our available capital, either inside or outside our industry, wherever our management expertise could facilitate rapid top and bottom-line growth.”

In closing, Mr. Ferrantino added, “I believe our company is much stronger today than it was 5 years ago when I joined. The evidence is compelling; we are led by a knowledgeable board, a dedicated and proven management team, a group of hard working employees, and a world class customer base. As I see it, the time has come for me turn the reins over to our management team. To that end sometime between next spring and summer I will be leaving the company again in capable hands and retire. I want to thank everyone and a special thank you to our shareholders for all the support I have received.”

The LGL Group, Inc., through its two principal subsidiaries MtronPTI and PTF, designs, manufactures and markets highly-engineered electronic components used to control the frequency or timing of signals in electronic circuits, and designs high performance frequency and time reference standards that form the basis for timing and synchronization in various applications.

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