M-tron Industries (NYSE: MPTI) lifts Q2 2026 revenue, EBITDA and backlog
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
M-tron Industries, Inc. reported strong results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, with continued momentum in aerospace, defense, avionics and space markets. Second-quarter 2026 revenue was $15.1 million, up 13.8% from $13.3 million a year earlier, while net income rose to $1.9 million, an increase of 19.9%. Adjusted EBITDA grew 40.6% to $3.4 million.
For the first six months of 2026, revenue was $29.8 million versus $26.0 million in 2025, with net income of $4.3 million compared to $3.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $6.6 million. Results include $1.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation related to accelerated vesting of 2025 bonus awards, which management states is not expected to recur at comparable levels. Backlog increased to $84.0 million as of June 30, 2026.
Positive
- Revenue growth exceeded 13% year over year in both Q2 2026 and the first half of 2026, indicating strong demand across core aerospace, defense, avionics and space markets.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 40.6% in Q2 to $3.4 million and 33.6% year-to-date to $6.6 million, showing improved operating performance after excluding non-cash items.
- Backlog rose to $84.0 million from $61.2 million a year earlier and $76.4 million at December 31, 2025, supporting visibility into future revenues.
- Cash and cash equivalents reached $96.2 million at June 30, 2026, up from $20.9 million at year-end 2025, significantly strengthening the balance sheet and liquidity.
- Stockholders’ equity increased to $118.7 million from $63.2 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting improved capitalization and retained earnings.
Negative
- Gross margin declined to 41.2% in Q2 2026 from 43.6% in Q2 2025, impacted by approximately $0.5 million of stock-based compensation in manufacturing cost of sales.
- Diluted EPS decreased to $0.43 in Q2 2026 from $0.53 in Q2 2025, and to $1.07 from $1.09 for the six-month period, primarily due to higher weighted average shares outstanding after an April 2026 rights offering.
Filing Explained
The April rights offering is complete and dilution is disclosed, but this 8-K does not quantify the offering’s share count or proceeds.
This Form 8-K reports that the April 2026 rights offering was completed; the company links the resulting increase in weighted shares outstanding to lower diluted earnings per share, and the disclosed dilution mechanism reduces an existing holder’s percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.
During the quarter, the company also made a small investment in Skyline Instruments, LLC, a synchronization and timing systems company.

Results from Operations
Second Quarter 2026
Revenue was $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to continued strong aerospace and defense program shipments and quarter over quarter growth for both avionics and space product shipments.
Gross margin was 41.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with 43.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease reflects the impact of approximately $0.5 million of stock-based compensation recorded in Manufacturing cost of sales in connection with the 2025 bonus awards, a 3.1% impact to gross margin. This charge is not expected to recur at comparable levels in future periods. There was no such stock-based compensation in the three months ended June 30, 2025 for the 2024 bonus award.
Net income was $1.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $1.6 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Current period results include $1.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of the 2025 bonus award. This charge is not expected to recur at comparable levels in future periods. The decrease in diluted earnings per share is due to the increase in weighted shares outstanding related to the rights offering that was completed in April 2026.
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues partially offset by an increase in engineering, selling and administrative expenses.
Fiscal Year to Date 2026
Revenue was $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to continued strong aerospace and defense program shipments as well as year-over-year growth in avionics product shipments.
Net income was $4.3 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $3.2 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This reflects $1.0 million of non-cash stock compensation associated with the accelerated vesting of the 2025 bonus award. The increase in net income was driven by higher shipments partially offset by an increase in overall operating expenses, which grew at a slower rate than revenues. The decrease in earnings per diluted share was primarily due to the increase in weighted shares outstanding related to the rights offering completed in April 2026.
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues partially offset by an increase in engineering, selling and administrative expenses.
Backlog
Backlog was $84.0 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $76.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and $61.2 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in backlog reflects broad demand for our products including continued purchasing under several large aerospace and defense programs, the initiation of orders for new aerospace and defense programs, and a recent uptick in avionics and space industry orders.
Strategic Investment
During the quarter, the Company made a small investment in a synchronization and timing systems company Skyline Instruments, LLC, which is making significant advancements critical for the synchronization of RF sensor data and operations in GPS denied environments. This is part of the Company’s effort to continue to innovate and learn about future market opportunities in areas critical to our national defense.
