"Precise time is the invisible infrastructure behind modern defense technology," said Jason Lamb, LGL Group Chief Executive Officer. "From space-based systems and electronic warfare to signals intelligence, targeting, secure communications, and networked command-and-control, these platforms depend on disciplined timing, synchronization, and frequency control to operate with accuracy, resilience, and trust.

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.
