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 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 aerospace & defense, avionics, industrials, and space.
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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented on a 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 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:
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. At various times throughout the year and as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, some deposits held at financial institutions were in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances.
Our Board of Directors 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 and stockholders' desire for capital appreciation of their holdings.
Revolving Line of Credit
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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1. Financial Information of this Report for details of the Credit Agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies related to estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments, including those related to income taxes and inventories. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026.
