Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the notes thereto and the other unaudited financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the notes thereto, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 26, 2026. The terms the "Company,", "Mtron," "MPTI," "we," "our," or "us" refer to M-tron Industries, Inc. and unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto.
Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts are in thousands.
In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. See the Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Mtron is engaged in the designing, manufacturing and marketing of highly-engineered, high reliability frequency and spectrum control products used to control the frequency or timing of signals in electronic circuits in various applications. Mtron's primary markets are defense, aerospace, space, and avionics.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries.
Trends and Uncertainties
We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting our industry generally, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on our revenues or income other than the one listed below and the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026.
Tariffs
The current U.S. federal administration has imposed tariffs on certain products and materials entering the United States imported from other countries. Additionally, foreign governments have imposed retaliatory tariffs on products and materials exported from the United States. Following the Supreme Court’s February 2026 decision striking down certain tariffs, the Trump Administration announced its intention to invoke other laws to collect tariffs and announced new tariffs on imports from all countries. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on our business. To date, we have not seen an impact from tariffs on the demand for our products.

Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to three months ended March 31, 2025
Total Revenues
Total revenues increased $1,954, or 15.3%, from $12,732 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $14,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to strong defense product shipments as well as higher avionics sector shipments.
Total Costs and Expenses
Total expenses increased $1,357, or 12.7%, from $10,719 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $12,076 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase is primarily due to the following:
•
a $766, or 10.5%, increase in Manufacturing cost of sales from $7,326 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $8,092 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 driven by higher revenues partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies; and
•
a $591, or 17.4%, increase in Engineering, selling and administrative from $3,393 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $3,984 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from higher research and development costs, higher sales commissions related to an increase in revenues, and an increase in corporate expenses consistent with the overall growth in the business.
Gross Margin
Gross margin (Revenues less Manufacturing cost of sales as a percentage of Revenues) increased 244 basis points from 42.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 44.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflecting higher revenues, product mix, and manufacturing efficiencies.
Total Other Income, Net
Total Other income, net increased $147, or 145.5%, from $101 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $248 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase is primarily due to a $259, or 233.3%, increase in Interest income, net from $111 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $370 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 driven by higher balances invested in money market mutual funds.
The increase was partially offset by a $112, or 1,120.0%, decrease in Other income (expense), net from ($10) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to ($122) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to unfavorable currency movements related to our India production facility.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased $14, or 2.9%, from $484 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $470 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to temporary differences related to stock compensation partially offset by the increase in Income before incomes taxes.
Backlog
As of March 31, 2026, our order backlog was $76,834, an increase of $409, or 0.5%, from $76,425 as of December 31, 2025 and an increase of $21,333, or 38.4%, from $55,501 as of March 31, 2025. The increase in backlog from December 31, 2025 is primarily driven by orders in the aerospace and defense, avionics, and space sectors during the quarter. The nature of a program centric business model materially affects backlog based on the timing and size of the orders.

a $611, or 4.6%, increase in Engineering, selling and administrative from $13,246 in 2024 to $13,857 in 2025 driven by continued investment in research and development; higher sales commissions consistent with the growth in revenues; higher stock-based compensation; higher sales and marketing costs; and an increase in administrative and corporate expenses consistent with the overall growth in the business.
The Company's total costs and expenses for 2024 included bonus expense of approximately $1.5 million, or 3.0% of revenues, which was not incurred in 2025.
Gross Margin
Gross margin (Revenues less Manufacturing cost of sales as a percentage of Revenues) decreased 180 basis points from 46.2% in 2024 to 44.4% in 2025 reflecting product mix and higher tariff-related costs.
Total Other Income, Net
Total other income, net increased $282, or 74.0%, from $381 in 2024 to $663 in 2025 primarily due to a $296 increase in Interest income, net from $243 in 2024 to $539 in 2025 driven by higher average balances invested in money market mutual funds.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense
increased
$368, or
17.2%, from
$2,139 in
2024 to
$2,507 in
2025 primarily due to the increase in Income before income taxes discussed above.
Backlog
As of December 31, 2025, our order backlog was $76,425, an increase of $29,186, or 61.8%, from $47,239 as of December 31, 2024. The increase in backlog from December 31, 2024 reflects the nature of a program centric business model, which can materially affect backlog based on the timing and size of these orders.
The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on signed contracts and purchase orders, which are likely to be fulfilled substantially within the next 12 to 24 months. Order backlog is adjusted quarterly to reflect project cancellations, deferrals, revised project scope and cost. We expect to fill the vast majority of our order backlog as of December 31, 2025 during 2026 and 2027, but cannot provide assurances as to what portion of the order backlog will be fulfilled in any given year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our Consolidated Financial Statements presented on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company presents its financial condition and results of operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and representative of its business results. Some of the measurements the Company uses are "Non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules and regulations. The non-GAAP financial measures the Company presents are listed below and may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies. 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 U.S. GAAP.
The Company uses the following operating performance measure because the Company believes it provides both management and investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance as well as a more accurate view of the Company's ability to generate profits:
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA") is derived by excluding the items set forth below from Income before income taxes. Excluded items include the following:
•
Interest income
•
Interest expense
•
Depreciation
•
Amortization
•
Non-cash stock-based compensation
•
Other discrete items that might have a significant impact on comparable GAAP measures and could distort the evaluation of our normal operating performance.

Capital Resources
We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash generated from operations will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months from the date of this filing and for the foreseeable future. The Company’s management continues to strive for profitability both internally and through acquisition.
Our Board has adhered to a practice of not paying cash dividends. This policy takes into account our long-term growth objectives, including our anticipated investments for organic growth, potential acquisitions or other strategic ventures and stockholders' desire for capital appreciation of their holdings. No cash dividends are expected to be paid for the foreseeable future.

Leases
Leases represent the future minimum lease payments under our operating leases. We believe that we maintain adequate financial resources to meet the actual required payments under these obligations.
Revolving Credit Facility and Delayed Draw Facility
On December 31, 2025, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Fifth Third Bank, National Association ("Fifth Third Bank"), replacing our prior credit facility with Fifth Third Bank (the "Previous Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for a $10.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") and a $10.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the "Delayed Draw Facility"). Borrowings under the Revolving Facility and the Delayed Draw Facility bear interest at a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00%, determined by the Company's leverage ratio, with a SOFR floor of 0.00%. The Company will pay a fee on the average unused daily amount of the facilities at a rate ranging from 0.20% and 0.30%, determined by the Company's leverage ratio. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility are due at maturity on December 31, 2028, and advances under the Delayed Draw Facility are available for a period of 36 months from the date of the Credit Agreement, with each advance maturing 36 months after funding and subject to quarterly amortization requirements. The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for transactions of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of debt and liabilities, as well as financial reporting requirements. The Credit Agreement also imposes certain financial covenants based on the following criteria: (a) Leverage Ratio and (b) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). All loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the personal property of the Company. See Note 7 – Revolving Credit Agreement to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Report for details of the Credit Agreement.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Report. Certain accounting policies require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. The accounting policies described below are those that most frequently require us to make estimates and judgments and, therefore, are critical to understanding our results of operations.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These balances are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the year(s) in which these temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred income taxes is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted.
Based on consideration of all available evidence regarding their utilization, we record net deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Where, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance for the amount that, in our judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In reaching such conclusions, we consider available positive and negative evidence including past operating results, projections of future taxable income, the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carryforwards. Our projections of future taxable income include estimates and assumptions regarding our income and costs, as well as the timing and amount of reversals of taxable temporary differences.
The Company follows a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and for which actual outcomes may differ from forecasted outcomes. The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Inventories
We account for inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.
Inventory reserves are determined based on estimated losses that result from inventory that becomes obsolete or for which the Company has excess inventory levels. In determining these estimates, the Company performs an analysis on current demand and usage for each inventory item over historical time periods. Based on that analysis, the Company reserves a percentage of the inventory amount within each time period based on historical demand and usage patterns of specific items in inventory. Actual experience could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to inventory valuation in future periods.
