The LGL Group, Inc. Reports Full Year and
Fourth Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Announces Addition to its Board of Directors
ORLANDO, FL, March 27, 2013 – The LGL Group, Inc. (NYSE MKT: LGL) (the "Company"), announced results for the full year and quarter ended December 31, 2012.
2012 Full-Year and Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, were $29,706,000, a decrease of 16.7% from revenues of $35,682,000 in 2011. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012, was ($1,320,000), compared with net income of $382,000 in 2011. Basic and diluted loss per share was ($0.51) for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with earnings per share of $0.15 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in 2012 revenues was due to reduced demand from existing customers for existing products in the markets we serve, as well as the effects of weakness in the global macroeconomic environment. The noticeable decline began with the natural disaster that affected Japan, and then began to compound in the second half of 2011 with the combined effects of U.S. government spending uncertainty and the budget sequestration, as well as the continuing instability of economies within the Eurozone. The Company believes that these systemic effects may have led to delays in infrastructure spending and reduced levels of macroeconomic growth. The decrease in net income and earnings per share for 2012 is a direct result of the decrease in revenues.
Pre-tax earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2012, was ($1,844,000), compared to $567,000 for the same period in 2011, and pre-tax diluted loss per share was ($0.71) for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to pre-tax diluted earnings per share of $0.22 for the same period in 2011. Pre-tax earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2012, includes stock-based compensation expense of $428,000, compared to $363,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Greg Anderson, LGL's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We remain in a challenging economic environment that is affecting us and the markets that we serve. However, our position serving clients in the commercial avionics market was a growth area in 2012, which we expect to continue into 2013. We are focusing efforts on research and development that will lead to new products and allow entry into additional segments of the timing and frequency control markets, as well as by carefully managing structural costs to keep us in position to leverage our strong balance sheet as market conditions improve."
Total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, were $7,643,000, an increase of 4.6% over the Q3 2012 revenues of $7,307,000 and an increase of 3.5% over revenues for the comparable quarter in 2011. Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, was ($198,000), or ($0.08) per share, which was an improvement over the net loss of ($314,000), or ($0.12) per
share for the prior quarter and the net loss of ($296,000), or ($0.11) per share for the same period in 2011.
The Company's order backlog remained consistent quarter over quarter with an order backlog of $8,703,000 at December 31, 2012, compared to $8,745,000 at September 30, 2012.
2012 Gross Margins of 26.1% and Strong Capital Position
Gross margins for the year ended December 31, 2012, were 26.1%, compared to 30.2% for 2011. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the decrease in 2012 revenues compared to 2011, which spread fixed infrastructure costs over a smaller revenue base. However, for Q4 2012, gross margins were 30.7% compared to 27.4% for the same quarter in 2011. Mr. Anderson said, "Our efforts to manage costs were seen in gross margin results for Q4 2012, and we remain committed to managing structural costs closely going forward."
Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at December 31, 2012, was $10,125,000, or $3.90 per share, compared to $13,709,000, or $5.33 per share at December 31, 2011. The decrease of $3,584,000 was primarily due to the repayment of debt of $2,119,000, capital expenditures of $906,000, and cash used in operating activities of $469,000. Cash-adjusted working capital, which is comprised of accounts receivable plus inventory less trade accounts payable, improved to $7,247,000 at December 31, 2012, compared to $8,230,000 at December 31, 2011. The improvement was due to managing working capital levels to align with the reduced business activity that prevailed during 2012.
Mr. Anderson said, "We enter 2013 with the foundation of a strong balance sheet and a solid operating platform that we can leverage as market conditions improve. We continue to seek investment opportunities and to strategically allocate capital to projects and technology development that will bring new products to market and growth opportunities that create shareholder value."

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company uses non-GAAP additional measures of operating results, net earnings and earnings per share adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses we believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. 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. For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core business segment operational results. 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.
