Round 2. American Industrial Partners (AIP) is selling another trance of VVX shares, this time 2.5 million shares with up to an additional 375,000 shares to be sold. As we noted in AIP September’s stock sale, we had expected AIP eventually to begin to sell off its stake, so we are not surprised with this additional sale. V2X will not receive any proceeds from the sale. The additional float is a positive for investors, in our view.

Ownership. Upon the completion of this offering, investment funds affiliated with AIP will beneficially own approximately 44.9% of V2X’s outstanding common stock, or 14,167,286 shares (or approximately 43.7% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full).

Aurania Resources (AUIAF) – Black Sands Beach Project in Corsica is Taking Shape


Wednesday, November 13, 2024

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

New assay results. Aurania received preliminary results from studies conducted by SGS Laboratories on a sample of magnetic sand taken from Nonza Beach, Corsica. The nickel-bearing mineral in the black magnetic sand is indeed awaruite, a natural nickel-iron alloy. SGS was able to isolate a nearly pure awaruite concentrate from the magnetic sand using a combination of grinding and flotation. New assays of awaruite flotation concentrate yielded 71.4% nickel, 0.98% cobalt, 0.65% copper, 0.58 grams of gold per tonne, 0.09 grams of platinum per tonne, and 0.39 grams of palladium per tonne. The flotation method recovered 83.8% of the nickel contained in the magnetic sand, which had a head grade of 6% nickel. Studies of identical sands at nearby Albo Beach are underway.

Extraction and processing. Aurania hired IHC Mining Advisory Services (IMAS) to identify the best means to extract and recover the black beach sands at Albo-Nonza. IHC proposed two different scenarios focused on the extraction of heavy minerals containing nickel and iron. The preferred scenario uses a floating suction and cutter-head dredge on floating pontoons. IMAS estimated the capital cost of the cutter suction dredger scenario to be €13 million, including €7.8 million for the dredging equipment and €5.2 million for a processing plant.

GeoVax Labs (GOVX) – 3Q24 Reported With Continued Flow Of Good News


Wednesday, November 13, 2024

GeoVax Labs, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel therapies and vaccines for solid tumor cancers and many of the world’s most threatening infectious diseases. The company’s lead program in oncology is a novel oncolytic solid tumor gene-directed therapy, Gedeptin®, presently in a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial for advanced head and neck cancers. GeoVax’s lead infectious disease candidate is GEO-CM04S1, a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine targeting high-risk immunocompromised patient populations. Currently in three Phase 2 clinical trials, GEO-CM04S1 is being evaluated as 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, and as a booster vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In addition, GEO-CM04S1 is in a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the vaccine as a more robust, durable COVID-19 booster among healthy patients who previously received the mRNA vaccines. GeoVax has a leadership team who have driven significant value creation across multiple life science companies over the past several decades.

Robert LeBoyer, Senior Vice President, Equity Research Analyst, Biotechnology, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

3Q24 Report Reviews Progress During The Quarter. GeoVax reported a loss of $5.8 million or $(0.91) per share. The quarter included first revenues from its BARDA contract for the Project NextGen Phase 2b trial testing CM04S1 as a preventive vaccine for COVID-19. The company gave updates and data timeframes for clinical trials with CM04S1, MVA, and Gedeptin. During the quarter, it raised $13.5 million and ended with a cash balance of $8.6 million on September 30, 2024.

Gedeptin Trial Design Announced. GeoVax announced that the Phase 2 trial in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) will test Gedeptin in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in recurrent patients before surgery. A single-cycle of Gedeptin will be given with a standard dose of Keytruda (pembrolizumab), followed by a second cycle of Keytruda alone, then surgery. Endpoints will include standard measures of response, tumor shrinkage, and survival that would make the data comparable to other treatments. The trial is expected to begin in 1H25.

Weak Q3 Results, likely the trough. Q3 revenues declined 85% to $9.1 million, with a decline in both its Buy-side and Sell-side businesses, down 12% and 96%, respectively. Adj. EBITDA was a negative $2.8 million. Management blamed the weak fundamentals on a business disruption caused by a “false and disproven” blog post by Adalytics, which it sued for defamation. Notably, the Q3 results puts the company back on track on its financial reporting under its new auditor BDO. 

Guidance anticipates a strong revenue rebuild. Management anticipates rebound in revenues as one of its largest clients rebuilds volume. We expect strong sequential Q4 revenue to $14.5 million, up from $9.1 million in Q3. Full year 2024 revenue is expected to be $67.7 million, with full year 2024 adj. EBITDA loss of $8.6 million. Management anticipates strong full year 2025 revenue growth to a range of $90 million to $110 million.

Below Expectations. The GEO Group reported third quarter 2024 results below management’s and our expectations. Results in the quarter were driven by lower-than-expected revenues in the Electronic Monitoring and Supervision Services segment, reflecting reduced participant count. ICE populations have remained relatively flat over the past three quarters, although they are up y-o-y.

3Q24. GEO reported total revenues for the third quarter 2024 of $603.1 million compared to $602.8 million last year. We forecasted $612 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $118.6 million, flat with 3Q23.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Solid start. The company reported fiscal Q1 results that were better than expectations. Notably, revenue increased 14.4% from the prior year period to $260.2 million, and adj. EBITDA of $62.9 million grew 20.7% from the prior year period. The favorable results were driven by strategic initiatives in the Food & Beverage segment and the inclusion of Raging Waves operating results in the quarter. Furthermore, we believe the results are indicative of positive operating momentum, which could see enhanced growth prospects from M&A activity. 

Food & Beverage leads. The company’s Food & Beverage segment revenue increased by 17.5% from the prior year period and catalyzed the strong quarter. Notably, management highlighted that the increase in Food & Beverage revenue was due to its strategic efforts, not price increases. Furthermore, there appears to be room for growth through enhanced menu options.

More Profitable. Topline performance at $61.3 million was lower sequentially, however, it was above management’s guidance of $60-$61 million and higher than our estimate of $61 million. Importantly, the quarter resulted in a record high utilization of 77%, leading towards a higher gross margin of 40.4% from 39.5% last quarter. The higher gross margin flowed through to higher adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.6% from 11.1% in the prior quarter.

Potential Growth in 2025. Management noted that the ISG Tango platform is continuing to see growth in its contract value, now at $5 billion compared to $4 billion last quarter, a 25% increase. Notably, the increase is an example of signs of increased demand in the U.S. and we believe the market will improve as the election uncertainty has passed and the macroeconomy continues to improve.
