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.

Kratos reported first quarter 2025 GAAP Net Income attributable to Kratos of $4.5 million and GAAP Net Income per share of $0.03, compared to GAAP Net Income attributable to Kratos of $1.3 million and GAAP Net Income per share of $0.01, for the first quarter of 2024.

KUS’s Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.7 million, compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the continued impact of increased material and subcontractor and labor costs on multi-year fixed price production contracts under terms which were negotiated in 2020 and 2021 that we are unable to seek recovery and which we are unable to renegotiate until the next multi-year production lot.
KUS’s book-to-bill ratio for the first quarter of 2025 was 1.8 to 1.0 and 1.3 to 1.0 for the twelve months ended March 30, 2025, with bookings of $115.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, and bookings of $359.5 million for the twelve months ended March 30, 2025.

KGS reported Operating Income of $17.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $16.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting the volume and mix in revenues.

KGS’s total backlog was $1.161 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2025, up from $1.150 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
Kratos reported consolidated bookings of $365.6 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 for the first quarter of 2025, and consolidated bookings of $1.401 billion and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 for the last twelve months ended March 30, 2025. Consolidated backlog was $1.508 billion on March 30, 2025, as compared to $1.445 billion on December 29, 2024. Kratos’ bid and proposal pipeline was $12.6 billion at March 30, 2025, as compared to $12.4 billion at December 29, 2024. Backlog at March 30, 2025 included funded backlog of $1.174 billion and unfunded backlog of $334.5 million.
Mr. DeMarco said, “Since our last report to you, the Defense and National Security Funding and priorities environment for the industry and for Kratos has become clearer, including a government full year fiscal 2025 CRA and funding now being put in place, a potential additional $150 billion defense related 2025 Reconciliation Bill progressing and the potential for a $1 trillion fiscal 2026 U.S. National Security Budget, all increasing our confidence in Kratos’ 2025 and 2026 full year financial forecasts, including approximately 10 percent and 14 percent year over year, organic revenue growth, respectively. With funding, programmatic, contractual and schedule clarity also now in place, and a 1.2 to 1.0 Q125 and last twelve months book to bill ratio, Kratos’ 2025 Q3 and Q4 are forecasted to be particularly strong, as customer related predictability is expected to return. Also, importantly, Kratos being a military quality hardware and software company, with substantially all of our vendor base and supply chain being U.S. located and sourced, we expect little impact from existing or any currently contemplated tariffs.”
Mr. DeMarco went on, “Kratos’ Israel-based microwave electronics business is one of our Company’s fastest growing, with some of the highest book to bill ratios and EBITDA margins. As planned, we are on schedule to move our production operations into our new and expanded facilities in late June to support large new programs, including air defense, missile, radar and space-related programs, we have received and expect to be successful on. The move will take a couple of weeks, and we have coordinated closely with our customers so that no contractual disruptions as a result of the move are expected. We have accounted for the potential impact to our manufacturing productivity and related financial impact of the move in our second quarter financial guidance provided today, with forecasted June revenues and EBITDA expected to be lower, and July and August higher, as we return to normal operations in July 2025.”
Mr. DeMarco continued, “Important future growth areas for Kratos include, our hypersonic franchise, jet drones, jet engines and propulsion systems for missiles, drones and spacecraft, microwave electronics and C5ISR systems for air defense, missile, radar, counter UAS and other systems. Also, Kratos’ National Security-focused Space and Satellite Business continues to receive increased funding and contract awards, adding to our confidence for higher expected EBITDA margins in 2026, as we begin executing on these new programs, and as our higher margin microwave and propulsion businesses continue to scale.”
Mr. DeMarco concluded, “The recapitalization of strategic weapon systems and the U.S. Defense Industrial Base is providing significant, generational strategic business opportunities for Kratos. We are focused on making investments in our core business areas, in coordination with our customers and partners, to increase our market share, drive revenue growth, and increase our margins. With Kratos’ unique Mil-Spec hardware and software offerings, capabilities and positioning, now is the time to build our Company and create long term, sustainable value for United States National Security and our stakeholders.”
Financial Guidance
We are providing our initial 2025 second quarter guidance and reaffirming our full year 2025 financial guidance range, which includes our assumptions, including as related to: current forecasted business mix, employee sourcing, hiring and retention; manufacturing, production and supply chain disruptions; parts shortages and related continued significant cost and price increases in each of these areas, that are impacting the industry and Kratos.
Kratos’ 2025 financial forecast and guidance includes elevated investments for capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, including the expansion of our manufacturing and production facilities and related inventory builds in our Rocket Systems and Hypersonic businesses, primarily related to the recent MACH-TB 2.0 contract award, the continued manufacture of two production lots of Valkyries prior to contract award, to meet anticipated customer orders and requirements, the expansion and build-out of the Company’s Microwave Products production facilities, the expansion and build-out of our small jet engine production and test cell facilities, and the build-out of additional secure facilities for our federal secured space communications business, in accordance with contract and customer requirements.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Performance Metrics This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including organic revenue growth rates, Adjusted EPS (computed using income from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding income (loss) from discontinued operations, excluding income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, excluding depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of capitalized contract and development costs, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and restructuring related items and other, which includes, but is not limited to, legal related items, non-recoverable rates and costs, and foreign transaction gains and losses, less the estimated impact to income taxes) and Adjusted EBITDA (which includes net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest and excludes, among other things, losses and gains from discontinued operations, acquisition and restructuring related items, stock compensation expense, foreign transaction gains and losses, and the associated margin rates). Additional non-GAAP financial measures include Free Cash Flow from Operations computed as Cash Flow from Operations less Capital Expenditures plus proceeds from sale of assets and Adjusted EBITDA related to our KUS and KGS businesses. Kratos believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the Company’s available capital resources, the actual and forecasted operating performance of the Company’s business and the Company’s cash flow, excluding non-recurring items and non-cash items that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the Company’s actual and forecasted operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and investors should carefully evaluate the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial results. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. As appropriate, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in this news release.
Another Performance Metric the Company believes is a key performance indicator in our industry is our Book to Bill Ratio as it provides investors with a measure of the amount of bookings or contract awards as compared to the amount of revenues that have been recorded during the period and provides an indicator of how much of the Company’s backlog is being burned or utilized in a certain period. The Book to Bill Ratio is computed as the number of bookings or contract awards in the period divided by the revenues recorded for the same period. The Company believes that the rolling or last twelve months’ Book to Bill Ratio is meaningful since the timing of quarter-to-quarter bookings can vary.

New Awards. V2X continues to win new awards, and if current Defense budget proposals resulting in the first $1 trillion budget for fiscal year 2025 move to fruition, the award environment should remain target rich for the Company.
Navy Contract. Earlier this week, the Company was awarded a $103 million contract by the U.S. Navy for Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) maintenance of C-26 aircraft. Under this contract, V2X will continue providing comprehensive CLS support, including aircraft engineering, upgrades, maintenance, and modifications.

A Trillion Dollard Defense Budget? House Republicans have released legislation that would increase Pentagon spending by $150 billion. The proposal was approved by the House Armed Services Committee and, when combined with the already approved government fiscal year 2025 $886 billion defense budget, the added dollars would bring defense spending to more than $1 trillion for the first time. A significant portion of the recent budget increases target areas in Kratos’ wheelhouse, in our opinion, which could provide additional upside to the Company.
Missile Defense. Approximately $25 billion of the $150 billion proposed increase would be earmarked for the Golden Dome missile defense initiative. Recall, Golden Dome would be a shield intended to protect the continental U.S. against advanced missiles. Golden Dome is another project that aligns with Kratos’ capabilities, in our view.
