📌 語音摘要
🧾 Castellum, Inc. (CTM) — 2025 Q3 財報回顧報告
整體印象: 首度實現 GAAP 正淨利,營收連三季 YoY 成長,債務大減、現金創高,展現轉虧為盈里程碑
⓪ 市場與股價背景(Market Context)
📅 觀察期間: 2025 年 9 月至 11 月初(Q3 財報公布前後一個月)
📈 股價表現:
- 本季股價變動:+16.5%(從 Q3 末 $1.03 → 11/7 收盤 $1.20)
- 財報前一個月(10/1-10/31):從 $1.03 漲至 $1.17,累計 +13.6%,主要由 10/31 宣布 $66.2M 合約帶動單日暴漲 40%
- 財報公布當日(11/6):股價漲至 $1.20,盤後持穩
- 52 週區間:$0.13(2024/10/30 低點)→ $2.83(2024/12/30 高點)
🌍 產業與宏觀環境:
- 國防 IT 承包商板塊普遍報佳音:RTX、Northrop Grumman、Kratos Defense 等同業於 Q3 皆超越預期並上調全年指引,受惠於北約支出增加、無人系統需求成長及國防現代化預算
- 美國政府預算不確定性:國會持續以臨時撥款法案(CR)運作,2025 財年國防預算尚未通過;長期 CR 可能限制新專案啟動與產能提升,但短期影響有限
- 宏觀利率環境:10 年期美債殖利率於 11/7 維持在 4.11%,較年初略降,科技與國防板塊受惠於利率趨穩
💬 市場共識摘要: 投資人關注 CTM 能否持續營收成長、控制虧損並贏得更多「全面開放」(full and open)合約,以擺脫小企業限制並擴大規模stocktitan+1
① 財報摘要(Earnings Summary)

📌 總結:
Q3 創下公司史上首度 GAAP 正淨利,營收連續第三季 YoY 成長,毛利率提升、營運虧損縮窄至正值,調整後 EBITDA 翻倍。現金創歷史新高 $17.8M,債務減至僅 $2.4M(較 Q2 減 $3.7M),資產負債表持續強化。營收超越市場預期,反映合約執行順利與成本紀律奏效
② 業務亮點(Business Highlights)
產品或平台進展:
- C-SCRM 框架開發:推出 AI/ML 驅動的網路供應鏈風險管理解決方案,用於海軍 ALRE 系統
- GSA MAS 合約擴增:子公司 SSI 於 10/14 在 GSA MAS 合約新增 IT 服務項目(SIN 54151S),開啟更多聯邦 IT 商機
客戶 / 垂直市場拓展:
- 三大政府客戶占比 72%:Q3 前九個月營收主要來自三大美國政府客戶,顯示高度依賴國防與情報機構
- 國際客戶突破:子公司合作夥伴(如 Kratos)向國際客戶交付 Valkyrie 無人機,CTM 透過合約支援相關物流與工程
合作 / 夥伴 / 渠道:
- NAWCAD 深度合作:透過 GTMR 子公司獲得 $249M SCI MAC IDIQ 合約(2/25 生效),為 NAVAIR 提供情報、測評與軟體開發
- SSI 贏得 $66.2M 全面開放合約(10/31):五年期合約支援 NAWCAD Lakehurst MO&I 部門,負責艦載設備物流、工程與網路安全
地區 / 業務線擴張:
- 從小企業邁向大型承包商:$66.2M 合約是 CTM 首個無小企業限制的全面開放合約,標誌進入大型聯邦承包商競技場
- 有機成長連續三季:Q3 為 2022 年上市以來第三次達成 YoY 有機收入成長
其他重大里程碑:
- 首度 GAAP 正淨利:Q3 淨利 $0.42M,終結連續虧損歷史
- 債務大減至 $2.4M:較年初減少超過 $15M,現金增至 $17.8M 歷史新高
③ 管理層電話會議重點(Earnings Call Highlights)
注意:CTM 並未公開電話會議逐字稿,以下根據新聞稿與 CEO/CFO 聲明整理
🔹 營收動能
- CEO Glen Ives:「連續三季 YoY 有機成長是重大里程碑,反映我們聚焦『全面開放』競標策略奏效,隨著向大型企業轉型,管線中更多此類機會正在浮現」
- CFO David Bell:「紀律性營運與現金管理帶來史上最佳績效與資產負債表強度,為 CTM 進一步成長投資做好準備」
🔹 毛利率與成本因素
- 毛利率從 Q2 36.1% 提升至 Q3 37.6%(+150 bps),主因營收規模擴大帶來槓桿效應,儘管仍有非現金費用與一次性支出
- 調整後 EBITDA 排除非現金項目(折舊攤銷 $0.37M、股權激勵 $0.28M、衍生負債變動 -$0.02M)後達 $1.08M,較 Q2 的 $0.50M 大增 116%
🔹 新業務 / 產品進展
- COO Drew Merriman:「$66.2M 合約證明我們聚焦管線中全面開放機會的策略正在奏效」
- CEO Ives:「七個月內拿下兩大合約($103M SeaPort NxG + $66.2M NAWCAD),強化我們向大型企業轉型的勝利文化」
🔹 指引(Guidance)
- 無明確數值指引:CTM 未提供 Q4 或全年營收/EPS 預測,但管理層強調「持續動能」與「長期股東價值創造」
- 管理層語氣評估:樂觀——CEO 提及「無法再興奮與自豪」、「持續建立有意義動能」
💬 管理層原話精選
「我們專注長期成長,透過聰明投資於正確人才、解決方案與產品,並善用適時且適切的 M&A 機會...我們的強勁且穩定進展直接反映世界級 CTM 團隊的辛勤工作」—— Glen Ives, CEO
「在實現歷史營收與扎實營運利潤率改善之際,我們對正向現金流的承諾勝於 GAAP 淨利,因大量非現金費用...這季我們兩者兼得」—— Glen Ives, CEO
④ Q2 → Q3 期間重要事件回顧(Key Events)

⑤ 綜合分析與觀察(Analysis & Takeaways)
是否符合上季指引與市場預期:
- CTM 未給明確數值指引,但 Q2 時管理層強調「持續改善軌道」,Q3 交出首度正淨利與營收成長加速(QoQ +4.3%、YoY +25.9%),超越市場預期
- 分析師預估 Q3 營收約 $14.13M,實際 $14.62M 超出 ~3.5%
營運趨勢延續性(營收 / 毛利 / 成本控制):
- 營收成長穩健:Q3 為連續第三季 YoY 正成長,QoQ 也加速至 +4.3%(Q2 為 +19.7% QoQ),顯示合約執行順暢與新訂單落地
- 毛利率持續擴張:Q2 36.1% → Q3 37.6%,受惠規模經濟與成本紀律
- 營運槓桿浮現:調整後 EBITDA 翻倍至 $1.08M,營業利益首度轉正至 $0.45M,反映固定成本攤提改善
管理層展望與市場一致性:
- 管理層強調「聚焦全面開放機會」、「大型企業轉型」與「持續動能」,與市場期待 CTM 擺脫小企業侷限、擴大規模高度一致
- 無明確數值指引,但七個月內拿下 $169M+ 合約($103M + $66.2M)為未來營收成長奠定基礎
對全年預測或長期趨勢的意涵:
- 全年 2025 營收可望達 $54-56M:前九個月 $40.3M + Q4 保守估 $14-16M
- 轉盈拐點已現:Q3 首度正淨利且調整後 EBITDA 達 $1.08M,若 Q4 維持趨勢,全年有望接近損益兩平或小幅獲利
- 長期成長路徑清晰:$249M IDIQ + $66.2M 合約為未來 3-5 年營收可見性提供支撐;管理層提及「適時 M&A」與「自主產品開發」,暗示多管齊下擴大規模
⑥ 投資觀點(Investor Perspective)
📈 短期市場反應
- 財報前股價已大漲:10/31 合約新聞帶動盤前暴漲 40%,收盤漲 13.6% 至 $1.17
- 財報公布後溫和上漲:11/6 漲至 $1.20(+2.6%),11/7 持平,顯示利多已部分反映
- 近三個月累計漲幅 +16.5%(9/30 $1.03 → 11/7 $1.20),跑贏同期標普 500 與國防板塊
📊 分析師修正方向
- 目標價維持 $3.00:僅有兩位分析師覆蓋,一位評 Hold、一位評 Strong Buy,平均目標價 $3.00,意味**+150% 上漲空間**
- 評級共識:Buy(2 位中 1 Hold + 1 Strong Buy)
- 尚無 Q3 後評級更新:分析師最近評級為 4/24/2025,Q3 績效可能促使上調
🔍 下一季關鍵觀察指標
- 營收能否維持 $14M+ 水平:Q4 通常受年底政府預算執行影響,需觀察合約落地節奏
- 調整後EBITDA 利潤率:Q3 達 7.4%($1.08M / $14.62M),能否持續擴張至 8-10%
- 新合約簽訂進度:$249M IDIQ 與 $66.2M 合約的 Task Order 釋出時程,以及是否再拿下類似大單
- 債務與現金管理:能否繼續降低 $2.4M 剩餘債務並維持 $17M+ 現金水位
- 政府預算不確定性:美國國會 2025 財年撥款法案進度,長期 CR 可能限制新專案啟動
初步投資結論: 「維持正向觀察,成長動能延續但估值已反映部分利多」
- 利多面:首度轉盈、債務大減、現金創高、拿下破紀錄合約、營收連三季 YoY 成長、進入大型承包商賽道
- 風險面:
- 高度集中於政府客戶(72% 來自三大客戶),合約取消或延遲風險
- 市值僅 $111M,流動性低、波動大
- 估值已反映樂觀預期:目前 P/S ~2.3x(市值 $111M / 年化營收 ~$48M),高於國防 IT 承包商平均 1.5-2x
- 內部人持續賣出:CEO Mark Fuller 與 General Counsel Jay Wright 於 2025 年共賣出 $2.2M 股票,顯示短期獲利了結
適合類型:風險承受度高、看好國防 IT 小型成長股、願意承受波動的積極型投資人
