Distribution agreement in Canada under MustGrow’s sales and distribution division NexusBioAg.
RhizoSorb® releases nutrients in the soil more efficiently to reduce phosphorus use by up to 50% while maximizing crop yield.
Sustainable production and responsible use of phosphorus is critical to support global food demands.
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Canada, June 10, 2025 – MustGrow Biologics Corp. (TSXV:MGRO) (OTC:MGROF) (FRA:0C0) (the “Company” or “MustGrow”), a leading provider of biological and regenerative agriculture solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of Phospholutions Inc.’s (“Phospholutions”) RhizoSorb® phosphorous efficiency product. MustGrow and Phospholutions have signed a distribution agreement whereby MustGrow will sell RhizoSorb®through its Canadian sales and distribution division, NexusBioAg (website: NexusBioAg).
Traditionally, the majority of applied phosphates are quickly tied up in soil, making them unavailable for plant uptake. As little as 10% of conventional phosphorus fertilizer is used by the crop. RhizoSorb® offers a controlled release, avoiding tie up while decreasing nutrient leaching.
RhizoSorb® Product Highlights1
RhizoSorb® patented technology is designed to replace conventional commodity fertilizers like monoammonium phosphate (“MAP”) and diammonium phosphate (“DAP”), by enhancing nutrient use efficiency through its integration into dry-granule phosphate production. It offers the same ease of application as traditional granular fertilizers, requiring no changes to existing equipment or practices.
RhizoSorb® increases phosphorus efficiency by up to 50%, allowing farmers to apply half the applied phosphorus of their traditional fertilizer while maintaining, and even improving yield. This efficiency translates to better grower return on investment, with potential savings of up to US$20 per acre by optimizing fertilizer inputs and reducing costs without sacrificing yield.
In addition to economic benefits, RhizoSorb® delivers meaningful environmental advantages, reducing CO₂e emissions by 45.2%, phosphorus runoff by 78%, and leaching by 84% compared to conventional MAP fertilizer.
“With approximately 94.5 million acres of crop production that depend on phosphate, Canada is a key market,” said Craig Dick, VP Sales and Marketing. “We are proud to partner with MustGrow to deliver RhizoSorb® to retailers and growers across Canada.”
“This partnership marks another major milestone in Phospholutions’ journey,” added Hunter Swisher, CEO of Phospholutions. “Partnering to bring more cost-effective fertilizer solutions to the Canadian market supports our broader global expansion efforts.”
“MustGrow and Phospholutions share a common mission to improve the global food system through sustainable production solutions,” said Colin Bletsky, COO of MustGrow. “Phosphorus is the second-most-used nutrient in global food production, making its efficient and responsible use a top priority for both our companies and the growers we serve.”
Benefits of Reduced-Rate Phosphate
RhizoSorb® features a 38% lower salt index, promoting healthier soils and long-term productivity. Growers benefit from lower application rates, reduced input costs, and sustained yields. For retailers, it offers reduced storage and logistics costs along with stronger margins. Environmentally, RhizoSorb® cuts CO₂ emissions by reducing carbon-intensive ingredients during manufacturing, reducing logistics across import, retail, and farm.
About Phospholutions Inc.
Phospholutions’ mission is to enhance global phosphorus use. It believes that sustainable production and responsible use of phosphorus is critical to support global food demands. RhizoSorb® was developed to cut costs and reduce the environmental impact of fertilizer use by releasing nutrients in the soil more efficiently. Phospholutions’ patented fertilizer is incorporated into production to create higher efficiency products that maximize the use of phosphate resources.

– The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified deficiencies at a third-party manufacturing vendor
– FDA to provide final decision by PDUFA action date of June 28, 2025
LOS ALTOS, Calif., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unicycive Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNCY or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies for patients with kidney disease, today announced an update on its New Drug Application (NDA) for oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC) to treat hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis.
The FDA communicated to the Company that it had identified deficiencies in cGMP compliance at a third-party manufacturing vendor (one of its CDMO’s third-party subcontractors and not its Drug Substance vendor) following an FDA inspection.
The FDA indicated that, given the identified deficiencies, any label discussions between the FDA and the Company are precluded. The Company has responded to all FDA information requests and expects a final decision from the FDA by the PDUFA action date of June 28, 2025.
“We are discussing with our partners to help resolve FDA’s concerns and remain confident in the promise of OLC based on the extensive clinical and preclinical data we’ve generated,” said Shalabh Gupta, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Unicycive. “We believe OLC is a promising new treatment option and we are eager to bring it as quickly as we can to patients with CKD on dialysis who are living with hyperphosphatemia.”
About Oxylanthanum Carbonate (OLC) OLC is an investigational oral phosphate binder that leverages proprietary nanoparticle technology to deliver high phosphate binding potency, reducing the number and size of pills that patients must take to treat hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. Its potential best-in-class profile may have meaningful patient adherence benefits over currently available treatment options as it requires a lower pill burden.
Unicycive is seeking FDA approval of OLC via the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway. The NDA submission package is based on data from three clinical studies (a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, a bioequivalence study in healthy volunteers, and a tolerability study of OLC in CKD patients on dialysis), multiple preclinical studies, and the chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) data. OLC is protected by a strong global patent portfolio including issued patents on composition of matter with exclusivity until 2031, and with the potential for patent term extension until 2035.
About Hyperphosphatemia Hyperphosphatemia is a serious medical condition that occurs in nearly all patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Annually there are over 450,000 individuals in the U.S. that require medication to control their phosphate levels.2 Uncontrolled hyperphosphatemia is strongly associated with increased death and hospitalization for CKD patients on dialysis. Treatment of hyperphosphatemia is aimed at lowering serum phosphate levels via two means: (1) restricting dietary phosphorus intake; and (2) using, on a daily basis, and with each meal, oral phosphate binding drugs that facilitate fecal elimination of dietary phosphate rather than its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream.
About Unicycive Therapeutics Unicycive Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing novel treatments for kidney diseases. Unicycive’s lead investigational treatment is oxylanthanum carbonate, a novel phosphate binding agent currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis. Unicycive’s second investigational treatment UNI-494 is intended for the treatment of conditions related to acute kidney injury. It has been granted orphan drug designation (ODD) by the FDA for the prevention of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) in kidney transplant patients and has completed a Phase 1 dose-ranging safety study in healthy volunteers.

Preclinical Studies Demonstrate Durable Protection Against SARS-CoV-2 Variants, Including Omicron XBB.1.5, Driven by T-Cell Responses
ATLANTA, GA, June 9, 2025 – GeoVax Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOVX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing immunotherapies and multi-antigen vaccines against infectious diseases and solid tumors, today recapped two scientific poster presentations delivered at the Keystone Symposia on Vaccinology: Horizons Across Disease, Demography and Technology, held June 4–7, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
The presentations, titled MVA-Vectored Multi-Antigen COVID-19 Vaccines Induce Protective Immunity Against SARS-CoV-2 Variants Spanning Alpha to Omicron in Preclinical Animal Models, and GEO-CM04S1 Vaccine Candidate Maintains Potent Cross-Reactivity Against Original SARS-CoV-2 B.1 and Omicron Subvariant XBB.1.5, were delivered by Drs. Pratima Kumari and Amany Elsharkawy, respectively, members of GeoVax’s scientific team and its collaborators, during the June 5 and June 6 poster sessions. The presentations spotlight the Company’s Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-vectored COVID-19 vaccine candidates, GEO-CM04S1 and GEO-CM02, and their ability to induce durable, cross-reactive immunity against SARS-CoV-2 variants in preclinical animal models. These studies underscore the immunologic breadth, durability, and cross-variant protection of GeoVax’s multi-antigen design strategy—especially important for addressing variant evasion and suboptimal immune response in vulnerable patient populations.
Key Findings from Studies
GEO-CM02 Study – Poster #1050 | Presenter: Dr. Pratima Kumari, GeoVax Scientist
This presentation detailed findings for GEO-CM02, a multi-antigen MVA-based vaccine expressing the spike (S), membrane (M), and envelope (E) proteins.
In hACE2 mouse models, a single dose provided complete protection against both the original Wuhan strain and the Omicron BA.1 variant.
Two-dose regimens generated high neutralizing antibody levels, reduced viral loads in lung and brain tissues, and lowered inflammatory markers- indicating enhanced immune memory.
Notably, early protection was achieved prior to detectable neutralizing antibodies, further supporting the role of innate and cellular immune responses in viral control. This underscores the value of the multi-antigen MVA-based vaccine platform, particularly as the virus continues to mutate.
GEO-CM04S1 Study – Poster #2047 | Presenter: Dr. Amany Elsharkawy, Georgia State University Scientist
This study evaluated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of GEO-CM04S1, an MVA-vectored vaccine co-expressing spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins, in a K18-hACE2 mouse model. Mice were challenged intranasally with either the original B.1 strain or the Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant.
GEO-CM04S1 conferred full protection against clinical disease, lung injury, and inflammation in both viral challenge models.
Despite the absence of detectable neutralizing antibodies against XBB.1.5, vaccinated animals were fully protected, suggesting antibody-independent protection.
Immune cell depletion studies revealed that CD4+ T cells, not B cells or CD8+ T cells, were critical for protection, highlighting the vaccine’s ability to drive T cell–mediated immunity across variants.
“These experimental findings document the value of inducing broadly specific immune responses to protect against evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants,” said Mark Newman, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of GeoVax. “We believe the use of multi-antigen vaccines could provide significant benefit by limiting the need to continually update COVID vaccines and by limiting the need for yearly booster doses.”
GeoVax’s MVA vaccine platform is designed to address gaps in pandemic preparedness and public health resilience, with lead vaccine candidate GEO-CM04S1 currently being evaluated in multiple Phase 2 clinical trials for COVID-19.
About GEO-CM04S1
GEO-CM04S1 is a synthetic next-generation, multi-antigen MVA-vectored COVID-19 vaccine co-expressing spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) antigens, designed to induce both broad antibody and T-cell responses. It is being evaluated in three ongoing Phase 2 clinical trials:
A primary vaccine for immunocompromised individuals (e.g., post-transplant, CAR-T, or hematologic cancers)
A booster for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
A booster for healthy adults previously immunized with mRNA vaccines
About GeoVax
GeoVax Labs, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel vaccines against infectious diseases and therapies for solid tumor cancers. The Company’s lead clinical program is GEO-CM04S1, a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine currently in three Phase 2 clinical trials, being evaluated as (1) a primary vaccine for immunocompromised patients such as those suffering from hematologic cancers and other patient populations for whom the current authorized COVID-19 vaccines are insufficient, (2) a booster vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and (3) a more robust, durable COVID-19 booster among healthy patients who previously received the mRNA vaccines. In oncology the lead clinical program is evaluating a novel oncolytic solid tumor gene-directed therapy, Gedeptin®, having recently completed a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial for advanced head and neck cancers. The Company is also developing GEO-MVA, a vaccine targeting Mpox and smallpox.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 9, 2025 – Nicola Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “Nicola”) (TSX: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (FSE: HLIA) is pleased to announce that it has received a multi-year area-based exploration permit, Permit Number MX-15-121 (the “MYAB Permit”) on June 4th, 2025. The MYAB Permit allows Nicola to conduct extensive exploration on its wholly owned Treasure Mountain Silver Project[1] (the “Treasure Mountain”), a fully permitted silver mine (Permit 239) located 30 km northeast of Hope and about a 3-hour drive from Vancouver, British Columbia (Fig. 1).
Figure 1. Treasure Mountain location
Receipt of the MYAB Permit, follows the Company’s August 30th, 2024, announcement that it had received a ten-year mining lease extension (the “Extension”) for Treasure Mountain[2] under its M-239 permit. The Extension is valid through April 26, 2032, and receipt of the MYAB Permit positions the Company to leverage both mining and exploration options.
Treasure Mountain consists of an historic underground silver mine with a resource estimate in accordance with CIM definition standards[3] and exploration upside to the north and west of the historic mine. The MB Zone is approximately 800 m northwest of the current mine workings on undrilled northern flank of the mountain. The Cal Vein was discovered at this location in 2010 and return a surface sample grading as high as 9,221g/t Ag, 1.02% Cu, 1.14% Pb and 1.03% Zn[4]. Subsequent soil sampling was conducted in 2011/2012 and 2013 with encouraging results.[5] Small exploration programs conducted between 2019 and 2021 on the northwestern side of the mountain included soil sampling, rock sampling, mapping, and shallow drilling campaigns. These programs successfully identified a 2 km soil anomaly which appears to be related to a vein system of roughly the same strike length. Drill testing of the exposed vein confirmed continuity of mineralization coincidental with the soil anomaly.[6]
The MYAB Permit allows the Company to carry out the following exploration activities over the next five years in the areas shown below (Fig. 2):
30 drill holes
1,400 m of trenching
4,500 m of trail building
20 km of geophysical surveys with exposed electrodes
Figure 2. Site map with MYAB Permit boundaries
Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., commented, “Receipt of the MYAB under Permit Number MX-15-121 coupled with our recently received ten-year mine life extension under Permit M-239, puts Nicola into an envious position as the confluence of mine and exploration potential brings forth a project that most investors have forgotten. Bolstered by solid silver prices and with permits in hand, we are very excited about its potential and look forward to exploring our Treasure Mountain Project for the first time in over a decade”

WEST CHICAGO, Ill., June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Titan International, Inc. (NYSE: TWI) (“Titan” or the “Company”), a leading global manufacturer of off-highway wheels, tires, assemblies, and undercarriage products, today issued the following note from Chairman of the Board of Directors, Maurice (Morry) Taylor.
Mr. Taylor stated, “We are having our Annual Shareholder’s meeting on Wednesday, June 11th and we welcome you to join us virtually (www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TWI2025). Paul Reitz and his team will be in attendance along with members of the Titan Board. This year ISS and Glass/Lewis have recommended TWI shareholders to vote substantially in line with the TWI Board recommendations. The Board of Titan International is thankful and appreciative of this support!”
Mr. Taylor continued, “This meeting is significant for our Shareholders as it’s our first since the election of President Trump for another four years. I know a lot about tariffs and what the US government and the administration are trying to do for American industry, which includes us. Paul Reitz and his team have been involved in the ups and downs in this business for the last 15 years and I see the benefits that tariffs will bring to Titan and its shareholders. The International Trade Court (ITC) in Washington D.C. has six judges, with many being lawyers, and hears all claims regarding tariffs. Titan’s first case brought to the ITC on tariffs was against China around 2012 regarding farm and off highway tires coming from China. No one thought we would win, but we did as the court ruled 5 to 1 in our favor. That’s great, but then the USA Commerce Department must determine the duty rates and that took a full year and cost us a lot in legal fees just to get this done. Our country should be thankful that President Trump is tackling what has been going on for too long.”
Mr. Taylor added, “Titan has tire factories in Freeport, IL, Des Moines, IA, Bryan, OH, Union City, TN, Jackon, TN and Clinton, TN. These six tire plants employ wonderful people and have plenty of capacity to meet the needs of the US marketplace. These plants have available tire capacity in the US because our country gets flooded with tires from China, India, Japan and Mexico. Farm & OTR tires are large in size and demand a high number of SKUs to serve the market, therefore they take a lot of manual labor to produce, whereas auto and truck tires can be produced with more automation. There are a lot of Ag tractors that are manufactured overseas and shipped into the US with tires/wheels pre-assembled on the equipment. With President Trump trying to level the playing field and the administration’s support, we could see a future where the equipment will be imported into country and then fitted with wheels and tires produced in the USA. The use of tires and wheels produced here will lower the cost of the tractors, combines, and other Ag equipment and increase wheels and tires for American manufacturing.”
Mr. Taylor concluded, “President Trump is correct that American businesses have been getting the short straw for a long time from the rest of the world. He is the champion of the working men and women of this country. GO USA! I hope to hear from you all at the Shareholder Meeting!”

BATAVIA, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Graham Corporation (NYSE: GHM) (“GHM” or the “Company”), a global leader in the design and manufacture of mission critical fluid, power, heat transfer and vacuum technologies for the Defense, Energy & Process, and Space industries, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 ending March 31, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”).
“We closed fiscal 2025 with strong momentum, as our fourth quarter results reflected solid execution and sustained demand across our diversified product portfolio,” said Daniel J. Thoren, Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to advance projects with an expected 20%+ ROIC1, including automated welding, the expansion of our Batavia, NY facility, and a new cryogenic testing facility in Florida, which will drive enhanced margins and create additional revenue opportunities.”
Mr. Thoren continued, “Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, we are well-positioned to achieve our long-term growth and profitability targets and are strategically looking to invest in key organic and inorganic growth opportunities.”
Management Transition
As previously announced on February 6, 2025, Graham began a planned management transition aligned with its succession strategy. Effective June 10, 2025, Chief Executive Officer Daniel J. Thoren will transition to Executive Chairman and Strategic Advisor. Matt Malone, currently President and Chief Operating Officer, will succeed him as CEO.
Jonathan W. Painter, Chairman of the Board, will transition to Lead Independent Director. Additionally, Michael E. Dixon, promoted to General Manager of Barber-Nichols in February 2025, will assume the role of Vice President of Graham Corporation and General Manager of Barber-Nichols.
“It has been a career highlight and honor to lead Graham Corporation over the last four years and I want to thank our Board and each one of our employees for their commitment and belief in our mission to build better companies, supply mission critical equipment to our customers, and deliver superior performance to our investors,” said Mr. Thoren. “The company is well positioned to achieve its 2027 goals we set in 2022, and I have every confidence in Matt to lead the company to even greater achievements beyond that.”
1Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and ROIC are non-GAAP measures. See attached tables and other information for important disclosures regarding Graham’s use of these non-GAAP measures.
2Orders, backlog and book-to-bill ratio are key performance metrics. See “Key Performance Indicators” below for important disclosures regarding Graham’s use of these metrics.
*Graham believes that, when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP measures, help in the understanding of its operating performance. See attached tables and other information provided at the end of this press release for important disclosures regarding Graham’s use of these non-GAAP measures.
We have updated our end market disclosures to better align with how management evaluates the business and product portfolio. As part of this change, revenue previously classified as Refining, Chemical/Petrochemical, and Other, which included New Energy product sales, will now be consolidated into one market, which has been renamed “Energy & Process.” The Defense and Space end market classifications remain unchanged. Prior period amounts have been updated to reflect this change.
Quarterly net sales of $59.3 million increased 21%, or $10.3 million. Sales to the Defense market grew by $7.7 million, or 28% from the prior year period, driven by growth in existing programs, better execution, improved pricing, and the timing of key project milestones. Energy & Process sales contributed $1.8 million to growth driven by increased sales of capital equipment to foreign markets and higher aftermarket sales. Aftermarket sales to the Energy & Process and Defense markets of $12.1 million remained strong and were 3.3% higher than the prior year. See supplemental data for a further breakdown of sales by market and region.
Gross profit for the quarter increased $3.3 million to $16.0 million compared to the prior-year period of $12.7 million. As a percentage of sales, gross profit margin increased 110 basis points to 27.0%, compared to the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was driven by leverage on higher volume, better execution, and improved pricing, partially offset by higher incentive compensation compared to the prior year period.
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”), including amortization, totaled $10.8 million, or 18.1% of sales, down $0.3 million compared with the prior year. This decrease reflects the timing of various project expenses partially offset by higher salaries and performance-based compensation as we continue to invest in our people, our processes and our technology to drive long-term sustainable growth.
*Graham believes that, when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP measures, help in the understanding of its operating performance. See attached tables and other information provided at the end of this press release for important disclosures regarding Graham’s use of these non-GAAP measures.
Net sales of $209.9 million increased 13%, or $24.4 million. Incremental revenue from the acquisition of P3 Technologies (“P3”) in November 2023 accounted for $2.8 million of this increase. Sales to the Defense market grew by $22.4 million, or 23% from the prior year, driven by the addition of new Defense programs, the growth of existing programs, better execution, improved pricing and the timing of key project milestones. Additionally, net sales to the Space industry for fiscal 2025 increased 11% over the prior year primarily due to the addition of P3. Finally, net sales to the Energy & Process industry for fiscal 2025 was consistent with the prior year as increased sales to Asia and the Middle-East were offset by a $2.7 million decline in aftermarket sales from the record levels of fiscal 2024, but which remain strong. See supplemental data for a further breakdown of sales by market and region.
Gross profit for the year increased $12.3 million to $52.9 million compared to the prior-year period of $40.6 million. As a percentage of sales, gross profit margin increased 330 basis points to 25.2%, compared to fiscal 2024. This increase was driven by leverage on higher volume, better execution, and improved pricing. Additionally, fiscal 2025 gross profit benefited $1.3 million from a grant received from the BlueForge Alliance earlier this fiscal year to reimburse Graham for the cost of the Company’s Defense welder training programs in Batavia and related equipment. The Company currently does not expect to receive any additional welder training grants in fiscal 2026.
SG&A, including amortization, totaled $38.9 million, or 18.5% of sales, up $5.3 million compared with the prior year. This increase reflects the Company’s continued investments in its people, processes, and technology to drive long-term sustainable growth including costs related to the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system at our Batavia facility, incremental costs related to P3, and increased research and development investment, among others.
Cash Management and Balance Sheet
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $24.3 million for the year-ending March 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.8 million from the comparable period in fiscal 2024. As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $21.6 million, up from $16.9 million at the end of fiscal 2024.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 were $19.0 million, focused on capacity expansion, increasing capabilities, and productivity improvements. All major capital projects are on time and on budget.
The Company had no debt outstanding March 31, 2025 with $44.7 million available on its revolving credit facility after taking into account outstanding letters of credit.
Orders, Backlog, and Book-to-Bill Ratio
See supplemental data filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K and provided on the Company’s website for a further breakdown of orders and backlog by market. See “Key Performance Indicators” below for important disclosures regarding Graham’s use of these metrics ($ in millions).
Orders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 increased to $86.9 million, including $50.0 million, of a $136.5 million total contract value, to procure long-lead time materials for follow-on contracts to support the U.S. Navy’s Virginia Class Submarine program. Aftermarket orders for the Energy & Process and Defense markets remained strong and totaled $11.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of 50% over the prior year.
For fiscal 2025, orders decreased to $231.1 million, primarily due to a record level of orders in fiscal 2024 as a result of follow-on orders for critical U.S. Navy programs related to the Columbia Class submarine and Ford Class carrier programs. Aftermarket orders in fiscal 2025 for the Energy & Process, and Defense markets increased 8% to $46.6 million, compared with fiscal 2024.
Orders tend to be lumpy given the nature of our business (i.e. large capital projects) and in particular, orders to the Defense industry, which span multiple years and can be significantly larger in size. Book-to-bill for fiscal 2025 was 1.1x.
Backlog as of March 31, 2025, was $412.3 million, a 5% increase over the prior-year period. Approximately 45% of orders currently in backlog are expected to be converted to sales in the next twelve months and another 25% to 30% are expected to convert to sales within one to two years. Approximately 83% of our backlog at March 31, 2025 was to the Defense industry, which we believe provides stability and visibility to our business.
Fiscal 2026 Outlook
“I am pleased to announce our fiscal 2026 outlook, which reflects the continued momentum in our business and the initial impacts of the strategic investments we have made. The Company is deploying capital to support our organic and inorganic growth initiatives, while making strategic improvements to enhance our operations and drive margin expansion, which is being enabled by our strong balance sheet. The outlook we are providing reflects the expected impact of tariffs on our fiscal 2026 results, which we estimate to be approximately $2.0 million to $5.0 million. This is subject to change based on the fluidity of global trade policy,” said Christopher Thome, Chief Financial Officer.

Safe Harbor Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are identified by words such as “continue,” “expects,” “future,” “goal,” “outlook,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “guidance,” ”may”, “will,” “plan” and other similar words. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that Graham Corporation expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including but not limited to, profitability of future projects and the business, its ability to deliver to plan, its ability to continue to strengthen relationships with customers in the Defense industry, its ability to secure future projects and applications, expected expansion and growth opportunities, anticipated sales, revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margins, capital expenditures and SG&A expenses, the timing of conversion of backlog to sales, orders, market presence, profit margins, tax rates, foreign sales operations, customer preferences, changes in market conditions in the industries in which it operates, changes in general economic conditions and customer behavior, forecasts regarding the timing and scope of the economic recovery in its markets, and its acquisition and growth strategy, are forward-looking statements. Because they are forward-looking, they should be evaluated in light of important risk factors and uncertainties. These risk factors and uncertainties are more fully described in Graham Corporation’s most recent Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), included under the heading entitled “Risk Factors”, and in other reports filed with the SEC.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of Graham Corporation’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those currently anticipated. In addition, undue reliance should not be placed on Graham Corporation’s forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Graham Corporation disclaims any obligation to update or publicly announce any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this news release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, other acquisition related expenses, and other unusual/nonrecurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, is important for investors and other readers of Graham’s financial statements, as it is used as an analytical indicator by Graham’s management to better understand operating performance. Moreover, Graham’s credit facility also contains ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are defined as net income and net income per diluted share as reported, adjusted for certain items and at a normalized tax rate. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s and current fiscal year’s net income and net income per diluted share to the historical periods’ net income and net income per diluted share. Graham also believes that adjusted net income per share, which adds back intangible amortization expense related to acquisitions, provides a better representation of the cash earnings of the Company.
ROIC is defined as a return on invested capital and is calculated by dividing net operating profit after taxes by the total invested capital. ROIC is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing ROIC is important for investors and other readers of Graham’s financial statements, as it is used as an analytical indicator by Graham’s management to better understand profitability and efficiency of use of capital for certain projects. Because ROIC is a non-GAAP measure and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, ROIC, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures
Forward-looking ROIC, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort largely because forecasting or predicting our future operating results is subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s fiscal 2025 financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with purchase accounting, quarter-end, and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial estimates set forth above may be material.
Key Performance Indicators
In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP measures, management uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations: orders, backlog, and book-to-bill ratio. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance, and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting the Company to provide products and/or services. Backlog is defined as the total dollar value of net orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as they often times are leading indicators of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer.
The book-to-bill ratio is an operational measure that management uses to track the growth prospects of the Company. The Company calculates the book-to-bill ratio for a given period as net orders divided by net sales.
Given that each of orders, backlog, and book-to-bill ratio are operational measures and that the Company’s methodology for calculating orders, backlog and book-to-bill ratio does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided.
Acquisition and integration (income) expense are incremental costs that are directly related to and as a result of the P3 acquisition or the subsequent accounting for the contingent earn-out liability. These costs (income) may include, among other things, professional, consulting and other fees, system integration costs, and contingent consideration fair value adjustments. ERP implementation costs primarily relate to consulting costs (training, data conversion, and project management) incurred in connection with the ERP system being implemented throughout our Batavia, New York facility in order to enhance efficiency and productivity and are not expected to recur once the project is completed. Debt amendment costs consist of accelerated write-offs of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and discounts, prepayment penalties and attorney fees in connection with the amendment of our credit facility in October 2023.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 4, 2025 – Nicola Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “Nicola”) (TSX: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (FSE: HLIA) is pleased to announce that it has hired Vicente García as Senior Geologist. His experience is expected to deepen the Company’s copper porphyry expertise, as it commences an aggressive 2025 exploration program.
Mr. García has over seven years of exploration experience across porphyry Cu-Mo, IOCG, stratabound-copper, epithermal gold-silver, and lithium-rich brine systems. He holds a B.Sc. in Geology from the University of Concepción in Chile. After graduating, he worked for several years with Kura Minerals, an exploration consulting company, where he was involved in programs targeting a variety of commodities. He later joined Quiborax, where he focused on the exploration of Ulexite in salar environments. In 2020, he founded Mayal Exploration, a consulting company through which he provided geological services including drill core re-logging, surface mapping, and 3D geological modeling for various mining clients in Chile. In 2022, Mr. García relocated to Canada and joined Dahrouge Geological Consulting, contributing to Ni-Cu sulfide and lithium pegmatite exploration projects in the Timmins region of Ontario and the James Bay area of Quebec. Before joining Nicola Mining, he worked at Anglo American, where he supported international exploration programs targeting Cu-Mo porphyry systems in Arizona and orthomagmatic Ni-Cu-PGE systems in Greenland. Mr. García’s experience and technical knowledge is a valuable addition to Nicola’s exploration team.
Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., commented, “Nicola continues to aggressively execute on both operations and exploration. Recently, the Company has garnered significant media relating to gold and silver production; however, we truly believe in the copper exploration upside of our New Craigmont Project. In addition, Vincente and Will Whitty, our VP of Exploration, will look at conducting exploration on the backside of our fully permitted Treasure Mountain Silver Mine. We look forward to providing a news explanation on our 2025 Exploration Plan at the New Craigmont Project in the near future.”
Qualified Person
William Whitty, P. Geo., the Company’s VP Exploration, is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and supervised the preparation, review and has also approved the technical information in this release.

NEW YORK, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — WhiteFiber Inc., the wholly-owned HPC subsidiary of Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (“Bit Digital” or the “Company”), announced today that it has completed the acquisition of a 96-acre, ~1 million square foot industrial property in Madison, North Carolina.
The Company will retrofit the facility into a flagship AI data center campus (“Facility”).
The Facility has immediately available power. The Company has entered into a capacity agreement with the utility, Duke Energy, for 99 MW, of which 24 MW are expected to be delivered on or about September 1, 2025. The Company expects to complete this first phase of HPC data center development and be online and operational by 2025 year-end. The utility’s preliminary feasibility study supports capacity up to 200 MW over time, subject to obtaining Electricity Service Agreements from Duke Energy and certain other conditions.
Strategically located in NC’s Piedmont Triad, the Facility sits within a 100-mile radius of Charlotte, Raleigh, Winston-Salem and Greensboro, and approximately 13 miles from the Virginia border. The region is home to numerous existing hyperscalers. The Company is in active negotiations with multiple potential HPC data center tenants and has already signed one non-binding LOI with a client. Moreover, its proximity to multiple metro areas supports AI inference workloads.
Based on initial capital investment projections, the project has been confirmed as a qualifying data center in the State of North Carolina and will therefore be eligible for certain sales and use tax exemptions. The Company has been working closely with local and state officials, economic development agencies, and utility partners whose collaboration has been instrumental in advancing the project.
“North Carolina’s leadership in high performance computing started decades ago with our research universities, the Research Triangle, and our focus on the future,” said North Carolina Governor Josh Stein. “WhiteFiber’s decision to join our state’s IT community will help bring the next generation of computing excellence to North Carolina.”
“Securing this site is a meaningful step in scaling our AI infrastructure platform,” said Sam Tabar, CEO of Bit Digital. “The location, size, and power profile make it a rare asset, which we believe will be foundational to meet accelerating demand from AI customers and pursue long-term value creation for shareholders. We acted decisively to secure what we believe will be a cornerstone asset for our Company.”
“We are thrilled to welcome WhiteFiber to our community,” said Kevin Berger, Chair of the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners. “Their planned investment of over $1 billion1 and creation of more than 60 jobs is a tremendous boost for our region.”
“The Town of Madison is excited to have WhiteFiber invest in our community,” remarked Madison Mayor William Phillips. “Transforming the former Unifi facility into a state-of-the-art AI data center campus is a remarkable step forward for our local economy.”
The Company is using cash on hand to fund the $45 million purchase. The Company previously utilized its at-the-market equity program to reserve cash on its balance sheet in anticipation of closing. The Company intends to engage in a commercial mortgage financing process for the site.
Investor Notice
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (Annual Report). Notwithstanding the fact that Bit Digital Inc. has not conducted operations in the PRC since September 30, 2021 we have previously disclosed under Risk Factors in our Annual Report: “We may be subject to fines and penalties for any noncompliance with or any liabilities in our former business in China in a certain period from now on.” Although the statute of limitations for non-compliance by our former business in the PRC is generally two years and the Company has been out of the PRC, for more than two years, the Authority may still find its prior bitcoin mining operations involved a threat to financial security. In such event, the two-year period would be extended to five years. If any material risk was to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. Future changes in the network-wide mining difficulty rate or bitcoin hash rate may also materially affect the future performance of Bit Digital’s production of bitcoin. Actual operating results will vary depending on many factors including network difficulty rate, total hash rate of the network, the operations of our facilities, the status of our miners, and other factors. See “Safe Harbor Statement” below.
