As a cybersecurity and electronic warfare company, Castellum operates in a high-growth, high-stakes sector. The modest revenue growth and improved financial metrics suggest the company is stabilizing its operations, which is important in the competitive federal contracting space. However, the lack of substantial top-line growth is concerning given the expanding cybersecurity market.
Investors should watch for new contract wins or expansions of existing ones, which could drive future growth. The company's ability to innovate and adapt to rapidly evolving cyber threats will be critical for long-term success. The emphasis on their "world-class team" is positive, but tangible results in terms of technological advancements or market share gains would be more convincing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Metrics
This press release contains Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure used by management to measure the Company's operating performance. A reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is contained herein. To the extent required, statements disclosing this measure's definition, utility, and purpose are also set forth herein.
Definition:
Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure, calculated as the Company's earnings before (not including expenses related to) interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, also adjusted for other non-cash items such as stock-based compensation and other non-recurring, cash items, such as expenses for a one-time policy change.
Utility and Purpose:
The Company discloses Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA because this Non-GAAP measure is used by management to evaluate our business, measure its operating performance, and make strategic decisions. We believe Non颅GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as its management. However, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP operating loss or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using this Non-GAAP measure to analyze our business would have material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. In addition, although other companies in our industry may report a Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure, this measure may be calculated differently from how we calculate this Non-GAAP financial measure, reducing its overall usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these inherent limitations, you should consider Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
