LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS
Dear Mtron Stockholder:
In 2025, we continued to build momentum across our business, delivering robust
revenue growth while advancing key strategic initiatives. Although the year presented
challenges, most notably volatile tariffs on certain products that pressured our cost
structure and margins, our team demonstrated resilience and disciplined execution. We
achieved outstanding financial results, including record bookings, revenues, and gross
profit. These accomplishments reflect solid underlying demand and the continued
expansion of our operations, and they reinforce our confidence in our ability to drive
sustainable long-term earnings growth and stockholder value.
2025 Highlights
Mtron achieved robust growth in 2025, marked by an 11.0% increase in revenue. The
end markets for our products remain strong, with the aerospace and defense, avionics
and industrials sectors driving the most growth in 2025. Bookings were at an all-time
high in 2025, with backlog growing significantly to a record $76.4 million as of
December 31, 2025, a 62.0% increase from 2024.
In 2025, we delivered exceptional gross margins. Overall, gross profit exceeded 2024
and, while our margin decreased slightly from our record setting year in 2024, our
performance improved significantly throughout the year, largely due to the impact of
global tariffs and some product mix.
Furthermore, our new product development engine focused on market driven
applications, with 30.0% of our total 2025 revenue coming from products launched
within the previous 4 years. We continue to invest in expanding our engineering
resources and capabilities and this is paying off in increased orders for new programs
We also delivered strong shareholder returns through December 31, 2025 with a 9.9%
appreciation in our share price. Diluted earnings per share decreased slightly from
$2.65 per share in fiscal year 2024 to $2.62 per share in fiscal year 2025, primarily due
to the increased share count resulting from the warrant dividend program.
LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS
Delivering Value to Stockholders
During the past year, we made important progress generating operating cash flow,
strengthening our balance sheet, and deepening the alignment between Mtron and our
stockholders.
In January 2026, we successfully completed the exercise of our dividend of warrants
distributed in April 2025. Participation was strong, with 80.8% of the warrants exercised
through the basic subscription privilege, resulting in the issuance of 470,205 shares of
common stock. Warrant holders also utilized the over-subscription privilege, through
which the remaining 112,028 allocated shares were issued. In total, the warrant
exercise generated approximately $27.7 million in gross proceeds, strengthening our
balance sheet and providing additional capital to support our strategic priorities.
Building on this momentum and the rapidly changing dynamics of our industry, we
completed a rights offering in April 2026, which generated approximately $42.1 million in
gross proceeds and resulted in the issuance of 713,362 shares of common stock. We
are grateful for the continued support from our stockholders who participated in these
offerings, reflecting their confidence in our strategy and long-term outlook. This
financing significantly strengthens Mtron s ability to execute and our competitive position
as we bid for large, long-term contracts with substantial ramp rates to support U.S. and
allied defense force requirements.
2026 and Beyond
In 2026, our highest priority remains sustainable growth of our earnings, which requires
continued revenue growth coupled with a focus on improving efficiency. The year has
begun well, with increased demand for key products and tailwinds developing in several
end markets.
To complement our organic growth, we continue to evaluate opportunities to deploy our
capital for the benefit of shareholders. The current aerospace and defense market is
rich with opportunity and dynamic change. Mtron is pursuing a three-pronged approach
to value creation, focused on the following strategies for deploying capital and making
use of our stock: 1) accretive acquisitions of component, subsystem and solutions
companies in the aerospace and defense space; 2) transformative opportunities
primarily via corporate divestitures and spin-outs; and 3) strategic investments in both
public and private entities. Central to this strategy is the use of our collective expertise
and deep domain knowledge. By pursuing value-accretive transactions, we aim to
further strengthen our capabilities by broadening our product portfolio, expanding into
new markets, and increasing earnings.
LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS
We are deeply grateful for the dedication and hard work of our Mtron colleagues around
the world, as well as the continued guidance and support of our Board of Directors. We
are pleased that our ability to deliver critical components and solutions continues to be
recognized by our customers.
We remain fully committed to serving our communities and our employees, confident
that successfully fulfilling these responsibilities will drive sustainable long-term value
and strong returns for our shareholders.
As we enter our fourth full year as an independent publicly traded company, we are
highly optimistic about the future, and we believe we are well positioned to continue to
deliver long-term growth and value creation for our stockholders.
Sincerely,
Cameron Pforr
