Q2 results. The company reported Q2 revenue of $21.6 million, and adj. EBITDA of $3.1 million, both of which were lower than our forecasts of $27.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively, as illustrated in Figure #1 Q2 Results. In our view, there were multiple factors contributing to the shortfall, such as deferred revenue in the quarter, as well as lower than expected revenue from ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA) on Microsoft Game Pass.

Closing the gap. Notably, there is a technology gap between many potential ASA users’ PC hardware and the advanced processing power needed for the game, which uses Unreal Engine 5. This technology disparity has inhibited some users from migrating from the original game, ARK: Survival Evolved (ASE), to ASA, dampening ASA sales. However, an update to Unreal Engine 5 that is expected to take place in Q3. Should the update help bridge the technology gap, it could catalyze accelerated adaption of ASA.

Q2 beats expectations. The Company reported Q2 revenue of $163.1 million, beating our estimate of $147.6 million by 10.5%, and adj. EBITDA of $12.7 million, 37.1% above our estimate of $9.2 million. While revenue and adj. EBITDA were down 17.4% and 36.1% from the prior year period, respectively, we view 2024 as a transitional year and the Q2 results favorably. 

Kiosk deployment ahead of schedule.  Importantly, the company had 8,068 kiosks deployed at the end of Q2, surpassing its goal of having 8,000 kiosks deployed by year end. With more than 10,000 total owned kiosks (deployed and warehoused) and a strong pipeline of potential new partners, we are estimating the number of kiosk deployed at year end to be 9,000.

Installing a sales organization. We believe that the management team is focused on positioning the company for a swing toward revenue and cash flow growth. To that end, the company has hired high profile senior management that is transforming it into a sales and customer centric company.

A healthy revenue indicator. Management indicated that its pipeline of business is building and ahead of last year. We believe that the company’s investment into building its sales infrastructure, which began late last year, is likely to show improving revenue trends in the second half 2024.

FDA Alignment Allows Phase 3 To Move Forward. PDS Biotech announced a loss of $8.3 million or $(0.23) per share for 2Q24. Cash at June 30, 2024, was $57.7 million, which we estimate to be sufficient to fund operations into 2H25. The company announced FDA alignment on the design of the Phase 3 VERSATILE-003 Plus trial, with preparations underway to begin the trial by year-end.

Meeting Results Confirmed Three-Arm Design Of Phase 3. PDS held a Pre-Phase 3 meeting with the FDA to get alignment on the design and analysis of the Phase 3 VERSATILE-003 Plus trial with the additional treatment arm testing the Triplet Combination of Versamune HPV, PDS01ADC, and Keytruda. The company’s immediate focus will be to start the VERSAMUNE-003 doublet arm by YE2024 while conducting the dose optimization stage separately.

Q2 in line. The company reported Q2 revenue of $21.4 million, roughly in line with our estimate of $22.0 million. Adj. EBITDA of a loss of $2.1 million was better than our forecast of a loss of $4.0 million, primarily driven by lower-than-expected SG&A expenses. Figure #1 Q2 Results illustrates the quarterly performance.

Key expansion to Home Depot. Following the conclusion of Q2, the company announced that its products would become available at Home Depot, the industry leader in the home improvement market. In our view, this is a significant step for the company as Home Depot has both retail consumers and professional contractors. Consequently, we believe the inclusion of SKYX products at Home Depot could accelerate revenue growth in both customer verticals. The Home Depot expansion also serves to validate the SKYX technology, given that Home Depot is a global industry leader.

Joe Gomes, CFA, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Generalist , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Joshua Zoepfel, Research Associate, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

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

2Q Results. The sale of the European business and the Motion Recruitment Partners acquisition affected revenue, as revenue declined to $1.06 billion from $1.22 billion last year, but in-line with our estimate of $1.07 billion. Net income for the quarter was $4.6 million, or $0.13/sh, from $7.5 million, or $0.20/sh, a year ago, as the Europe staffing sale contributed to the decrease. We estimated net income of $14.9 million or $0.42/sh.

Growth and Stability. While the uncertain market conditions continue to impact Kelly’s segments, management noted that segments saw sequential stabilization, while others continued to grow such as Education. We believe the stabilization indicates the bottom of demand for some of Kelly’s services, and management’s expectation of modest improvement in most of its segments in the second half gives this credence.

1Q25 Results. The improved top and bottom lines reflect Graham’s successful operating strategy, in our view. The first quarter can be characterized by solid growth, consistent improvement, and strengthened profitability. We also would note the expansion of Graham’s defense business has reduced the Company’s economic sensitivity.

New Orders. Graham’s Barber-Nichols segment reported the receipt of three new awards, totaling in excess of $65 million. An extension of work for the MK48 Mod 7 Heavyweight torpedo program, received in the first quarter; a new program for the Columbia-class submarine; and a contract to provide cryogenic recirculation pumps for space vehicles. We believe these awards demonstrate the Company’s capabilities to successfully compete in its key markets.
