Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.
First quarter results. Seanergy reported first-quarter net revenues of $24.2 million, slightly ahead of our estimate of $23.5 million, due to a higher-than-expected time charter equivalent (TCE) rate. Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share (EPS) were $8.0 million and a loss of $0.27, respectively, compared to our estimates of $6.1 million and a loss of $0.38. The better-than-anticipated results are reflective of higher revenues as well as lower costs due to savings in general and administrative expenses.
Updating estimates. We are increasing our 2025 revenue estimates to $142.9 million from $142.5 million. Additionally, we are raising our adjusted EBITDA and EPS estimates to $70.5 million and $0.74, respectively, up from $68.1 million and $0.59. These revisions are reflective of management’s guidance of better-than-expected TCE rates and fewer dry-docking days, resulting in higher operating days and lower expenses.

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 “expects,” “opportunity” 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 meet customers’ shipment and delivery expectations, its ability to continue to strengthen relationships with customers in the defense industry, and the timing of conversion of backlog to sales, 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.
Key Performance Indicator
Management uses the backlog to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations. Management uses backlog as measure of current and future business and financial performance, and it may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Backlog is defined as the total dollar value of net orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking backlog is useful as it often times is a leading indicator of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer.
Given that backlog is an operational measure and that the Company’s methodology for calculating backlog 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 it is not required or provided.
Key Points: – Nippon Steel to acquire U.S. Steel for $55/share in a U.S.-approved strategic deal. – The agreement secures American leadership, board control, and a $14B investment. – Labor concerns persist over Nippon’s trade history and potential job risks
Japan’s Nippon Steel is expected to finalize its acquisition of U.S. Steel at $55 per share, marking a significant shift in the global steel industry and setting the stage for a tightly regulated, cross-national partnership. The $14 billion deal, which had previously been blocked under the Biden administration over national security concerns, was cleared on Friday by President Donald Trump, who framed the acquisition as a “strategic investment partnership.”
U.S. Steel, a historic symbol of American industrial might, will maintain its headquarters in Pittsburgh under the agreement. The deal ensures U.S. control in several key areas, aiming to strike a balance between foreign investment and national economic security.
President Trump emphasized that Nippon’s investment would not only protect American manufacturing but enhance it, noting that the $14 billion capital injection includes $2.4 billion earmarked for modernizing the Mon Valley plant outside Pittsburgh. “It’s not a buyout—it’s a commitment to American steel,” Trump said. He also announced plans to hold a rally at the Pittsburgh facility on May 30.
Critically, the agreement includes provisions designed to address concerns from both lawmakers and organized labor. Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick described the arrangement as a “win-win,” highlighting that U.S. Steel will be led by an American CEO, and that a majority of its board members will be U.S.-based. In addition, a “golden share” mechanism gives the U.S. government veto power over key board decisions, further safeguarding American interests.
The deal is poised to save 10,000 steel jobs in Pennsylvania and generate an additional 10,000 building trade jobs through new infrastructure investments, including plans to construct another arc furnace—an initiative that could help revitalize domestic production capabilities.
Despite these assurances, skepticism remains. The United Steelworkers (USW) union continues to express concern over Nippon’s track record regarding trade practices. USW President David McCall said the union is awaiting more details before determining whether the deal adequately protects American workers. “Nippon has a long and proven history of violating our trade laws,” McCall stated. “We’re worried this could further erode our steelmaking capacity and union jobs.”
For Nippon Steel, the acquisition represents a major strategic gain—providing access to the U.S. market and strengthening its position in a globally competitive industry. Senator McCormick acknowledged that the Japanese firm will have board representation and will integrate the U.S. Steel unit into its larger corporate structure. “This was their proposal. They see economic opportunity in strengthening ties with the American industrial base,” he said.
While the full impact of the deal will unfold over time, one thing is clear: this acquisition represents more than a business transaction. It’s a litmus test for how the U.S. navigates foreign investment in critical sectors, balancing economic opportunity with sovereignty and security.

Refined Model. We had an opportunity to dig deep into our model with DLH management. As a result of our discussion, we revised our model. While minor, the changes do impact quarterly EPS, so we believe a model revision is instructional for investors.
Changes. We increased our D&A expense in both the third and fourth quarters to $4.25 million from our prior $4 million. In addition, we increased our fourth quarter interest expense to $3.75 million from a prior $3.5 million. We kept our tax rate at 30%. As a result of the changes, our third quarter net income and EPS declined to $350,000 and $0.02, compared to $525,000 and $0.04, respectively, and our fourth quarter declines to $350,000 and $0.02 from $700,000 and $0.05, respectively. For the full year, EPS is now $0.19 versus a prior $0.22.

Updating first quarter estimates. We are revising our first quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA and EPS estimates to $6.1 million and a loss of $0.38, respectively, from $6.0 million and a loss of $0.39. The revisions are driven by fewer dry-docking days during the quarter and an increase in operating days to 1,716 from 1,691. We also expect lower general and administrative costs, though this benefit is partially offset by higher vessel expenses tied to an increase in estimated ownership days.
Full year 2025 estimates. We are lowering our adjusted EBITDA and EPS estimates to $68.1 million and $0.59, down from $79.6 million and $1.17, respectively. The downward revisions reflect lower time charter rates and fewer operating days of 7,241 compared to our previous estimate of 7,391 due to an increase in the number of dry-docking days during the year. We have lowered our total revenue forecast to $142.5 million from $154.9 million. We modestly lowered our operating expense estimate to $111.7 million from $113.2 million, driven by expectations for lower general and administrative costs.

Transformation Plan on Track. The enterprise transformation is now roughly 70% complete. Notably, the diversification is away from the automotive industry. Of the $160 million (peak value) of new wins over the past seven quarters, one-quarter are non-auto, and about half of the pipeline is now in non-auto verticals.
New Business. NN shifted the business development focus to closing and winning immediate ramp up sales, given the softness in certain end markets. The Company now has 120 programs that are ramping up this year worth $55 million in annualized sales, an increase over the 50 programs reported at the end of 4Q24.

Key Points: – Pan American buys MAG Silver in a $2.1B deal, adding a major stake in the Juanicipio mine. – Boosts silver exposure and solidifies Pan American as a leading producer in the Americas. – Positive signal for small caps as sector consolidation could drive M&A interest in junior miners.
Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) has announced a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of MAG Silver Corp. (NYSEAM: MAG) in a deal valued at approximately $2.1 billion. This acquisition will grant Pan American a 44% stake in the Juanicipio mine in Mexico, a high-grade, low-cost silver operation managed by Fresnillo plc. The transaction includes $500 million in cash and 0.755 Pan American shares per MAG share, subject to proration.
For MAG shareholders, the deal offers an immediate premium of about 21% over the closing price and 27% over the 20-day volume-weighted average price as of May 9, 2025. Post-acquisition, MAG shareholders will own approximately 14% of Pan American, providing exposure to a diversified portfolio of ten silver and gold mines across seven countries.
Pan American’s acquisition of MAG Silver enhances its position as a leading silver producer. Juanicipio is expected to produce between 14.7 million and 16.7 million ounces of silver in 2025, with Pan American’s share being 6.5 to 7.3 million ounces. The mine’s cash costs and all-in sustaining costs are forecasted to range between ($1.00) to $1.00 and $6.00 to $8.00 per silver ounce sold, respectively, for 2025. Additionally, the acquisition adds 58 million ounces of silver to Pan American’s proven and probable mineral reserves, 19 million ounces to measured and indicated resources, and 35 million ounces to inferred resources.
The deal also includes MAG’s exploration projects, Deer Trail in Utah and Larder in Ontario, offering further growth opportunities. Pan American plans to leverage its experience operating in the Americas for over 30 years to integrate these assets effectively.
For junior miners and small-cap investors, this acquisition underscores the trend of consolidation in the mining industry. As larger companies seek to acquire high-quality assets, junior miners with promising projects may become attractive targets. This dynamic can lead to increased valuations for small-cap mining stocks, offering potential opportunities for investors.
However, consolidation can also lead to reduced competition and fewer standalone investment options in the junior mining space. Investors should carefully assess the implications of such deals on their portfolios, considering both the potential for gains through acquisitions and the changing landscape of available investment opportunities.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025, pending customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. All directors and executive officers of MAG have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction.

Initiating coverage with an Outperform rating and $23 price target. Sky Harbour Group (NYSE: SKYH) is a specialized aviation infrastructure developer focused on private and business aviation hangar facilities. It develops premium-grade hangar campuses under long-term ground lease agreements. With low land costs, tax-exempt financing, and strong tenant demand, we believe SKYH is positioned to deliver robust rental revenue growth and long-term free cash flow generation.
High-margin leasing model. Sky Harbour leases airport land at favorable long-term rates that are often under $1 per square foot annually. While only a fraction (1/4-1/3) of the land footprint is usable as rentable hangar space, this space can command upwards of $40 per square foot in rent. This creates a significant spread for SKYH. Furthermore, the company owns a prefabricated steel manufacturer, allowing for cost controls and delivery reliability.

1Q25. In the first quarter of 2025, revenue increased $25.4 million to $302.6 million from $277.2 million in 1Q24. We had forecast revenue of $290 million. Kratos reported adjusted EBITDA of $26.7 million, compared to $26 million in 1Q24 and our $22.5 million estimate. Diluted GAAP EPS was $0.03 versus breakeven last year. Adjusted EPS was $0.12 up from $0.11 last year.
Positioning. With expectations the Defense budget will soon exceed $1 trillion and a major emphasis from the government on increasing innovation, reducing cost, increasing efficiencies, receiving more for less, and rapidly fielding relevant hardware and systems now, we believe Kratos is extremely well positioned.
