Nauticus Robotics Announces Results for the Third Quarter of 2024
HOUSTON, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nauticus Robotics, Inc. KITT, a leading innovator in subsea robotics and software, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
John Gibson, Nauticus CEO, stated, “We committed to producing commercial revenue in the third quarter of 2024 with our Aquanaut Mark 2. We achieved that objective. Our first commercial project not only exceeded customer expectations but also secured additional work for the fourth quarter. With the 2024 work season in the Gulf of Mexico ending, we are now fully focused on building a robust pipeline of commercial opportunities for 2025. Nauticus’ untethered, autonomous deepwater solutions have set us apart as the technical leader in this field, earning strong recognition from our customers.
On the financial front, we raised over $1 million in cash through a tranche of convertible debentures, with the option to access an additional $20 million. Alongside converting existing debentures into preferred equity, these steps bolster our shareholder equity and position us to regain compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements. This access to additional funds provides a solid financial foundation to cement our position as a leader in the ocean economy.”
Operational Highlights
Vehicle 2 Testing: Nauticus’ flagship vehicle, Aquanaut Mark 2 (Vehicle 2), completed deepwater qualification trials and began commercial operations in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The vehicle completed offshore operations for 2024 and will now be readied for the upcoming 2025 offshore season. The success of the commercial work performed this year resulted in continued discussions with current as well as new customers for 2025 work. The pipeline for Aquanaut services remains strong and the company expects that customers will continue placing the vehicle into their offshore execution models.
Vehicle 1 Assembly and Testing: Aquanaut Vehicle 1 deepwater electronics upgrades are complete and final assembly is expected to complete this month. Once the vehicle is fully assembled it is planned to ship to a testing facility to complete factory acceptance testing. We expect this to occur by the end of the year.
Vehicle 3 Assembly: Assembly of Aquanaut Vehicle 3 remains pending. Company focus remained on Vehicles 1 and 2 throughout the quarter. Work on this vehicle is not expected until sometime in 2025.
ToolKITT Software: ToolKITT performed reliably during Aquanaut vehicle operations this quarter. The team continues to progress the technology towards higher levels of autonomy and broader commercial functionality. ToolKITT is also expected to provide value added differentiation for third party platform integration. Discussions with third party ROV manufacturers and services providers are ongoing and Nauticus is targeting to sell its first commercial license in 2025.
Revenue: Nauticus reported third-quarter revenue of $0.4 million, compared to $1.6 million for the prior-year period and $0.5 million for the prior quarter.
Operating Expenses: Total expenses during the third quarter were $5.9 million, a $3.9 million decrease from the prior-year period, and a $0.6 million decrease from Q2 2024.
Net Income: For the third quarter, Nauticus recorded a net loss of $11.4 million, or basic loss per share of $4.24. This compares with a net loss of $17.7 million from the same period in 2023, and a net loss of $5.4 million in the prior quarter.
Adjusted Net Loss: Nauticus reported adjusted net loss of $11.4 million for the third quarter, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2023. Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP measure which excludes the impact of certain items, as shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table below.
2024 G&A Cost: Nauticus reported G&A third-quarter costs of $2.8 million, which is a decrease of $3.9 million compared to the same period in 2023 and an additional $0.4 million decrease from the second quarter.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 million, compared to $0.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders (GAAP) to
Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to
Common Stockholders (NON-GAAP)
Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes certain items that are included in net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Items excluded are those which the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results and are typically excluded from published estimates by the investment community, including items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring.
Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders is presented because management believes it provides useful additional information to investors for analysis of the Company’s fundamental business on a recurring basis. In addition, management believes that adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies such as Nauticus.
Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders or any other measure of a company’s financial performance or profitability presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the differences between net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders is presented below. Because adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and may vary among companies, our calculation of adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Sustainable Investment Under Trump: 'Performance Matters Far More Than Politics,' JPMorgan Analyst Says
Wall Street is speculating on the effects of possible Donald Trump policy changes when he takes office in January 2025. JPMorgan analyst Virgina Martin Heriz weighs in on the potential impacts of a second Trump presidency on sustainable investing.
Onshoring: Heriz sees a second Trump administration modifying the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), but doing so with a “scalpel, not a sledgehammer.”
The JPMorgan analyst sees the domestic content portions of the IRA as the “most safe incentives” due to bi-partisan support of supply chain onshoring. Heriz points to First Solar, Inc. FSLR, SunRun, Inc. RUN and Sunnova Energy International Inc. NOVA as clean tech companies particularly positioned to benefit from supply chain onshoring.

Hydrogen: Heriz also sees the 45V tax credit for clean hydrogen producers as likely to stay due to strong backing from traditional energy companies and Republican-leaning areas. Clean hydrogen companies including FuelCell Energy, Inc. FCEL and Plug Power Inc. PLUG are likely safe from policy changes under a second Trump administration, according to Heriz.
EV Incentives: The analyst does expect subsidies for electric vehicles to be downsized or repealed, including the 30D clean vehicle tax credit of up to $7,500 on the purchase of a qualifying EV. Additionally, Heriz anticipates tightening EV charging incentives like the 30C tax credit that covers up to 30% of the cost of each charger. Some companies that could be negatively impacted by the repeal of EV and related charging incentives include EVgo Inc. EVGO, ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. CHPT and Blink Charging Co. BLNK.
Oil & Gas: Domestic oil and gas production is more influenced by market prices and global supply and demand rather than government policies, Heriz said. For this reason, the analyst expects a potentially reduced regulatory burden to be “helpful to the industry, but not life-changing in the short-term.”
The Take-Away: While Heriz does expect policy changes to affect sustainable investing under the second Trump administration, she said that outflows in sustainable investing are mainly motivated by underperformance.
“Fund performance matters far more than politics,” the JPMorgan analyst said.

Navigating the Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
From a legal standpoint, the term “insider” pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company’s equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to inform the public of their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
A company insider’s new purchase is a indicator of their positive anticipation for a rise in the stock.
While insider sells may not necessarily reflect a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes
Surveying the realm of stock transactions, investors often give prominence to those unfolding in the open market, systematically detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Niger Government Support
- On May 3, 2024, during a site visit, the Mines Minister; Commissaire Colonel Ousmane Abarchi stated “We came here, we visited the mine, and we launched the earth breaking operations for the mill construction. Dasa is a reality everyone can see. We thank you all. We are supportive of the SOMIDA team and Global Atomic. This project is very important for us as a Government and as a shareholder. We want Dasa to be the start of a new Niger mining practice with expectations on State Income, Employment and Environment management.”
- On August 15, 2024, Global Atomic received a letter in which the Conseil National pour la Sauvegarde de la Patrie Chairman, Head of State, His Excellency Brigadier General Abdourahamani Tiani instructed his Cabinet, the Minister of Mines and all stakeholders in the sector to facilitate the implementation of the Dasa Project, going on to state that the Dasa Project “is expected to play an important role as a cornerstone for socio-economic development. As such, Niger’s highest authorities support it totally.”
Corporate
- Global Atomic received $2,306 in quarterly management fees and monthly sales commissions from the Turkish JV ($166,000 in Q3 2023), the significant decrease is attributable to the planned maintenance and work stoppage in Iskenderun which ended in September 2024.
- Cash balance as of September 30, 2024, was $4.2 million.
- Subsequent to the end of Q3 2024, the Company raised $40.25 million of gross proceeds under a public offering at $1.20 per unit.
Subsequent Event: Financing – Public Offering
- On October 16, 2024, Global Atomic closed a public offering (the “Offering”) for gross proceeds, including the full exercise of an over-allotment option, of $40.25 million from the sale of up to 33,542,050 units of the Company at a price of $1.20 per unit.
- Each unit consisted of one Common share of the Company and one Common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common share at a price of $1.50 for a period of 36 months following the issue date.
- The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for development of its Dasa Project in Niger, working capital and general corporate purposes.
Subsequent Event: Financing – Bank Facility
- On October 29, 2024, the Company announced that a U.S. development bank, with whom the Company is engaged in project finance discussions, provided an updated schedule for the approval of a debt facility to fund the development of Dasa.
- The bank confirmed its support for Dasa and its intention to approve a debt facility for US$295 million, which will cover 60% of the planned project costs (includes an interest reserve, working capital and contingency amounts). By early Q1 2025, the bank intends to conclude its approval process, including Committee and Board level approvals.
Global Atomic President and CEO, Stephen G. Roman commented, “Global Atomic is a unique investment opportunity. The Company’s Dasa Project is the highest-grade uranium project under development in Africa or anywhere else in the world outside of Canada’s Athabasca Basin. Dasa is also the only greenfield uranium project being actively developed today, with commissioning and production on track to take advantage of the anticipated uranium supply shortfall. Financially attractive with an IRR of 57% at a uranium price of US$75 per pound, Dasa is fully permitted and in the final stages of obtaining approval for the major component of its construction financing.”
“The financing by a U.S. development bank has taken longer than anticipated. We have, however, answered all geo-political concerns raised by the bank and provided the bank with support letters from the Niger government and U.S. customers who have signed off-take agreements with us for yellowcake delivery starting in 2026. We have developed a strong relationship with the bank over the last few years as they conducted their site visits and completed their due diligence from a technical and ESG perspective. The bank has told us they intend to complete their internal approval process by early Q1 2025.”
“Once we have the bank financing approved, we believe that there will be many more options available to fulfill any residual capital needs, including pre-payments related to off-take agreements. To date, we have in place off-take agreements for approximately one third of our production in each of the first five years of our current 23-year mine plan. We plan to layer in new contracts over time to take advantage of the anticipated ascent in the price of uranium.”
OUTLOOK
Dasa Uranium Project

Uranium Business
Niger Mining Company
On December 23, 2020, GAFC was granted a Mining Permit for the Dasa Project on behalf of a Niger mining company to be incorporated. The Mining Permit is valid for an initial term of 10 years and is renewable for successive five-year terms until the resource is depleted. The Company’s Niger mining subsidiary, Société Minière de DASA S.A. (“SOMIDA”) was incorporated on August 11, 2022. In accordance with the mining agreement signed by GAFC and the Republic of Niger on September 25, 2007, the latter received a 10% free carried interest in the mining subsidiary and exercised its right to subscribe for an additional 10%, resulting in a total ownership of 20% of the shares of SOMIDA. Under the terms of the Company’s Mining Agreement, the Republic of Niger commits to fund its proportionate share of capital costs and operating deficits for the additional 10% interest. The Republic of Niger has no further option to increase its ownership.
Project Development Schedule
Mine development activities at the Dasa Project have been underway since November 2022. The current mine plan has been developed to coincide with the start-up of the processing plant in Q1 2026, with a target surface stockpile of 2 to 3 months production available for the processing plant at any time. Long lead equipment purchases have been made and detailed engineering is well advanced. Although some earthworks projects have been undertaken by SOMIDA and its staff over the past year, full-scale earthworks have been contracted out and commenced in May. Civils works have begun and processing plant equipment will begin arriving at site in Q4 2024. Erection of the processing plant and site infrastructure will take place from Q1 2025 through Q1 2026, with commissioning beginning in Q1 2026. Processing of ore through the plant is expected to begin in Q1 2026.
Project Financing
The Company has been advancing Project Financing. On October 10, 2023, the Company announced that because of the Coup d’Etat designation of the situation in Niger by the U.S. Government, the U.S. development bank would temporarily put the project financing on hold. The Company was subsequently advised that the U.S. Government expressed support for the Dasa Project, and the U.S. development bank was authorized to re-engage with the Company. The bank provided an updated schedule that the bank intends to conclude its approval process by Q1 2025, including Committee and Board level approvals. It is expected that the project financing will provide 60% of the total project costs plus 50% of the cost overrun facility.
The Company is also in discussions with alternative financing sources that are available. Such parallel discussions will continue so that alternative financing is available in case the banks further delay their approval process or choose not to proceed.
Turkish Zinc JV EAFD Operations
Global Atomic holds a 49% interest in Befesa Silvermet Turkey, S.L. (“BST” or the “Turkish JV”) which owns and operates an EAFD processing plant in Iskenderun, Türkiye. The plant processes EAFD containing 25% to 30% zinc that is obtained from electric arc steel mills, and produces a zinc concentrate grading 65% to 68% zinc that is then sold to zinc smelters. The Company’s investment is accounted for using the equity basis of accounting. Under this basis of accounting, the Company’s share of the BST’s earnings is shown as a single line in its Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
The following table summarizes comparative results for three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 of the Turkish JV at 100%:

The Turkish JV realized significant growth in revenues during the nine months ended September 2024 compared to 2023. Operations for the nine months ended 2023 were adversely affected by significant earthquakes in Türkiye. In the nine months ended September 2024, the Turkish JV sold 20.6 million pounds of zinc concentrate, increase from the 17.8 million pounds sold in the corresponding period last year. Despite the LME zinc price remaining stable year over year, the profit margin experienced a positive impact primarily attributed to reduced unit costs in EAFD and coking coal, resulting in a favorable EBITDA.
Sales recorded in Q3 2024 reflect EAFD processed in June 2024 which was subsequently delivered to the smelters in July 2024. In Q3 2024, limited EAFD was processed due to a planned maintenance shutdown and work stoppage pending a new employee contract, which has now been negotiated. During this time the company accumulated EAFD inventory and anticipates achieving full operational capacity by Q4 2024.
The cash balance of the Turkish Zinc JV was US$3.3 million at September 30, 2024.

Safe Harbor Financial's $3.3M Comeback: Turning Losses Into Profit Despite Revenue Drop
Safe Harbor Financial SHFS reported a significant turnaround in the third quarter of 2024, achieving a net income of $354,000 – a stark improvement from the $748,000 loss in the same quarter of 2023. However, total revenue declined by 20%, dropping from $4.3 million to $3.5 million. The company attributed this decline to lower deposit and onboarding income following the Abaca acquisition.

Operating Expenses Drop Amid Cost-Cutting Efforts
Operating expenses decreased by 13%, down to $3.3 million from $3.8 million in Q3 2023. The company made cuts across several areas, including employee compensation, rent and general administrative costs. These reductions contributed to improved profitability, bolstered by a 48% increase in loan interest income, which reached $1.3 million.
“Our strategic priorities focused on innovation, operational excellence, and client service,” said CEO Sundie Seefried. “We delivered strong loan interest income growth and significantly improved net income while maintaining disciplined expense management.”

Revenue for the nine months totaled $11.6 million, down from $13.1 million last year, but operating expenses were slashed by 66%, falling to $10.8 million.

IRG Acquires Well-Positioned Industrial Portfolio in St. Cloud
Central Minnesota Site Features Nearly 1 Million Square Feet
ST. CLOUD, Minn. , Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Industrial Realty Group, LLC (IRG), one of the country’s largest owners of commercial and industrial properties, announced today that it has acquired a 965,134 square foot industrial portfolio in Central Minnesota.
The eight buildings acquired are part of the St. Cloud Industrial Park. Long the home to the fulfillment operation of Publisher’s Clearinghouse (PCH), IRG intends to redevelop and lease the buildings as PCH vacates space in the near future.
“IRG has a strong track record of acquiring similar assets and securing job-creating companies to lease the space,” said Justin Lichter, Chief Investment Officer of IRG. “We will continue to work in concert with local stakeholders to develop a plan benefiting the economy and community in St. Cloud.”
Minnesota has long been a market of interest for IRG, which holds approximately 4.8 million square feet of space in the state. This includes Rochester Technology Campus, home to IBM.
While the majority of the space in St. Cloud is currently leased, the transition out of several buildings by PCH provides the opportunity to attract a diverse mix of flex, distribution, warehousing and manufacturing users. Future space availabilities will range from +/- 50,000 to +/- 500,000 square feet. The property also has convenient access to both I-94 and Highway 10 and is railed served.
