Dredging Market. The outlook for the dredging market remains robust, in our view. The Army Corps of Engineers budget in fiscal 2024 was a record $8.7 billion, a record that likely will be surpassed in fiscal 2025 as both the House and Senate appropriations committees submitted proposed fiscal 2025 budgets with Army Corp funding at or above the $10 billion level. We expect Great Lakes’ bid opportunity pipeline to remain strong, leading towards potential backlog and revenue growth.

NobleCon20. NN CFO Chris Bohnert presented at NobleCon20. Highlights included tariffs being a benefit to the Company, NN’s transformation plan, and its five-year growth plan. A rebroadcast is available at https://www.channelchek.com/videos/nn-inc-noblecon20-replay.
Tariffs Good for NN? The Trump administration is seeking protection for U.S. based production through the use of tariffs, potentially increasing costs for companies. However, NN has roughly $120 million of tariff-protected U.S.-produced auto parts and does not import from China. For its China operations, the Company produces auto parts in China for use in the local market there. As a result, we believe the Company can protect its margins through not paying tariffs and can potentially have pricing power over parts produced in the U.S. compared to other companies that import.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a Technology Company in the Defense, National Security and Global Markets and an industry-leading provider of high-performance, jet-powered unmanned aerial systems, today announced the successful performance of a recent series of flight tests of the United States Marine Corps’ XQ-58A Valkyrie, manufactured by Kratos. These flights and exercises were conducted jointly earlier this year by Kratos, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Autodyne, the United States Marine Corps (USMC), the United States Navy, and the United States Air Force (USAF).
Kratos’ XQ-58A Flies in Joint Emerald Flag Exercise
The test was conducted as a part of Emerald Flag 2024—a multiservice and multi-domain training exercise. During this milestone event, the USMC demonstrated cooperative kill chain closure between crewed and uncrewed strike platforms, specifically Kratos’ XQ-58A Valkyrie, for the first time in a large-force exercise.
The USMC kill chain closure demonstration, hosted in a joint force environment, showcased collaborative electronic warfare (EW) operations in addition to newly added tactical data link capabilities. These tests mark the first time the Department of Defense (DoD) controlled an XQ-58 using expeditionary methods. Initial results indicate the system met threshold requirements for autonomously exchanging relevant tactical information. These capabilities significantly enhance the Marine Air-Ground Task Force’s ability to conduct integrated and joint operations, contributing to the USMC’s mission to deter conflict and, when necessary, defeat enemies in complex and evolving scenarios.
These flights were conducted in partnership with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) AIRWorks, and industry partners. Flight test support was provided by the 40th Flight Test Squadron, the 46th Test Squadron, the 96th Test Wing, and the Marine Operational Test & Evaluation Squadron 1 (VMX-1).
The latest event was witnessed by the USMC Deputy Commandant of Aviation, Lt. Gen. Bradford Gering, as well as officers and civilians from the Marine Corps Cunningham Group, Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Expeditionary and Maritime Aviation-Advanced Development Team (XMA-ADT), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).
As the USMC advances towards the operational fielding of a new uncrewed system, Kratos is at the vanguard of technological advancement to ensure the Marines have the best tactical asset to complement their fleet of F-35B aircraft.
Flying alongside four USMC F-35B aircraft from the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 214 (VMFA-214) and two USAF F-15E/EX aircraft from the 40th Flight Test Squadron, the USMC XQ-58A operated under vehicle-level autonomy to perform maneuvers in a simulated threat environment. The Valkyrie’s on-board sensors identified and geolocated relevant threats, and simultaneously passed targeting data to collaborating air and ground platforms over tactical networks.
During the exercise, the XQ-58A was also flown by a USMC aviator, and control was passed between air and ground control methods which can command multiple Valkyries simultaneously. This demonstration of the XQ-58A’s ability to support crewed-uncrewed teaming and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) marks a significant milestone in the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Unmanned Aerial System Expeditionary (MUX) Tactical Aircraft (TACAIR) development.
Steve Fendley, President of Kratos Unmanned Systems Division, said, “We’re proud to be leading the industry effort to demonstrate and deliver this critical collaborative uncrewed aircraft capability. The mission capability demonstrated during the latest exercise – enabling Marine Corps pilots to lead a strike package of multiple Valkyries seamlessly transferring C2 between crewed aircraft and expeditionary ground control stations, to autonomously accomplish the mission while reducing risk exposure – will be a force multiplier. Our integrated, autonomous collaborative platform, jet-powered aircraft systems truly validate the DoD’s goal of achieving effective, survivable, affordable mass.”
Flying since 2019, the Kratos XQ-58A Valkyrie is a high-performance, runway-flexible tactical unmanned aerial vehicle capable of long-range flights at high-subsonic speeds. The Valkyrie can serve as a loyal wingman, conduct single unmanned aircraft system operations, or operate in swarms. Combining affordability, survivability, long-range, high-subsonic speeds, maneuverability, and ability to carry flexible mission kit configurations and mix of lethal weapons from its internal weapons bay and wing stations, the XQ-58A provides unmatched operational flexibility at an affordable price for multiple DoD customers.

Third quarter results. Euroseas Ltd. reported adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share of $36.1 million and $3.92, respectively, exceeding our estimates of $35.1 million and $3.77. Net revenues increased 6.9% on a year-over-year basis, and total daily vessel operating expenses decreased on a per-day per-vessel basis from $7,692 to $7,249. The revenue growth is mainly driven by a larger fleet, while the decrease in daily operating expenses is due to the company’s newly built vessels requiring less maintenance.
Favorable outlook. Charter and freight rates have rebounded after a slight dip during the summer and are expected to remain elevated throughout 2024 and into 2025. Ongoing disruptions in the Red Sea continue to support rates. The supply of new vessels in 2025 is anticipated to be lower than in the previous two years but could still put downward pressure on rates. Potential regulations regarding vessel speeds to reduce emissions could be implemented in 2025, which may help alleviate the downward rate pressure from the increasing supply. Furthermore, charter rates for eco-friendly vessels are projected to rise as emission regulations become more stringent and market demand for these types of vessels increases.

Closing out a productive year. Century Lithium had a productive year in 2024 with the two most significant achievements being completion of the feasibility study on the Angel Island lithium project and producing battery-grade lithium carbonate at its pilot plant. The feasibility study was released in April and while the economics were compelling, the company continues to focus on process optimization to improve potential returns by reducing the project’s estimated capital and operating costs. The use of a Chlor-alkali plant is unique and offers technical and environmental advantages by producing reagents for use onsite and producing surplus sodium hydroxide which can be sold to offset cash operating costs.
Environmental and regulatory permitting. On the environmental and permitting front, most of the required baseline studies have been completed and the company is editing a draft Plan of Operations and preparing key state permits for pollution and water quality compliance. Once the Plan of Operations is completed, the company may initiate the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) permitting process.
