Castellum, Inc. Reports Record Quarterly Revenue, Improving Profitability, and Additional Debt Reduction with Q2 2025 Results
Castellum, Inc. Reports Record Quarterly Revenue, Improving Profitability and Additional Debt Reduction with Q2 2025 Results VIENNA, Va., Aug. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Castellum, Inc. (NYSE-American: CTM) ("Castellum" or the "Company"), a cybersecurity, electronic warfare, and software services company focused on the federal government, announces its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, featuring record revenue, improved operating performance, record cash, and a meaningful debt reduction. Revenue for Q2 2025 totaled $14.0 million, a record quarter reflecting a 19.7% increase from $11.7 million in Q1 2025 and a 21.7% increase from $11.5 million in Q2 2024. These results reflect the second consecutive quarter of year-over-year organic revenue growth, the only two times the Company has achieved that milestone since the Company's 2022 uplisting. The Company reduced total debt by $3.7 million during the quarter, a key step in strengthening its balance sheet and enhancing financial flexibility. This strategic deleveraging effort reflects management's ongoing focus on capital discipline and long-term shareholder value. Operating loss for the quarter narrowed significantly to $(0.4) million, compared to $(1.1) million in Q1 2025 and $(6.0) million in Q2 2024. The improvement reflects continued cost discipline and increasing operating leverage, even with non-cash and one-time charges included in results. Additionally, excluding non-cash and one-time items, Castellum generated $0.5 million of adjusted EBITDA. Castellum ended the quarter with a record cash balance of $14.7 million, up from $13.3 million at the end of Q1, further reinforcing its commitment to liquidity and prudent capital management. 'In addition to record revenue and solid margin improvement, we reduced our debt by $3.7 million this quarter - a major achievement in strengthening our financial foundation,' said Glen Ives, Chief Executive Officer of Castellum. 'Our continued strong performance and steady progress are a direct reflection of our world-class CTM team and their 'best in industry' skills, talent, knowledge, and experience directly supporting our mission customers to achieve their vital national security missions and objectives. We're building meaningful momentum, and we believe these results position us well to continue creating long-term value for our shareholders.' Castellum's full financial results for the three and six months ending June 30, 2025, are expected to be filed later today on Form 10-Q, which will be available at About Castellum, Inc. (NYSE-American: CTM): Castellum, Inc. (NYSE-American: CTM) is a cybersecurity, electronic warfare, and software engineering services company focused on the federal government - Forward-Looking Statements: This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 2lE of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events and can generally be identified by the use of statements that include words such as "estimate," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "shooting to," "intend," "in a position," "looking to," "pursue," "positioned," "will," "likely," "would," or similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company's expectations for revenue growth, new customer opportunities, improvements to cost structure, and profitability. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control, that could cause actual results to differ (sometimes materially) from the results expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including, among others: the Company's ability to compete against new and existing competitors; its ability to effectively integrate and grow its acquired companies; its ability to identify additional acquisition targets and close additional acquisitions; the impact on the Company's revenue due to a delay in the U.S. Congress approving a federal budget, operating under a prolonged continuing resolution, government shutdown, or breach of the debt ceiling, as well as the imposition by the U.S. government of sequestration in the absence of an approved budget; the ability of the U.S. federal government to unilaterally cancel a contract with or without cause, and more specifically, the potential impact of the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization on government spending and terminating contracts for convenience. For a more detailed description of these and other risk factors, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") which can be viewed at All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, based on current expectations and assumptions concerning future events or the future performance of the Company. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements made in this release or in any of its SEC filings except as may be otherwise stated by the Company. 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 NonGAAP 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.

Emburse Unifies Travel and Expense into a Single Intelligent Workflow in Mobile App
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Emburse, the company defining Expense Intelligence through AI-powered travel and spend orchestration, today announced a new advancement to simplify, control, and elevate the travel and expense (T&E) experience for business travelers and organizations. The launch of integrated itinerary management in the Emburse Enterprise mobile app allows business travelers to manage their trips and submit expenses seamlessly—all within a single, intuitive mobile interface. This milestone signals a pivotal moment in Emburse's journey toward a unified, intelligent T&E experience. By embedding travel itinerary details directly in the same mobile app used for expense submission, Emburse is eliminating the need for multiple apps, creating a frictionless workflow that benefits both employees and finance teams. 'This is travel simplicity at its best,' said Paul Nagy, Chief Product Officer of Emburse. 'By unifying travel itinerary information and expenses in one app, we're making life simpler for business travelers and giving finance teams the real-time visibility they need for predictive spend orchestration within their organization.' Empowering Travelers with Real-Time Visibility and Simplicity Travelers today juggle gate changes, hotel details, receipts, and reporting—often while navigating tight flight connections or balancing luggage and work tasks. With Emburse's integrated itinerary management, users can easily view their personalized trip and expense tasks in one convenient and user-friendly app, including check-in times, booking confirmations, and policy-aligned expense actions. Whether it's scanning a receipt after buying a coffee near the gate or submitting a hotel charge while checking out, travelers can be empowered to act in the moment. Having the tools they need right at their fingertips helps ensure faster, more accurate, and more compliant expense submissions. "Emburse makes travel simple, seamless, and not time-consuming so our employees can focus on their main job – manufacturing, selling, and marketing our products,' said Rex Heineman, Global Travel & Expense Manager, General Mills. Giving Finance Teams Predictive Control and Expense Intelligence For finance leaders, the benefits go beyond convenience. Real-time expense activity creates actionable intelligence for finance leaders—transforming expense data into predictive signals. This launch is part of Emburse's AI-first platform strategy: embedding intelligence at the point of transaction to deliver control, compliance, and insight before spend happens. This real-time visibility is the foundation of Emburse's evolving vision: turning reactive expense reporting into proactive, predictive control. 'Millions of dollars are spent during business travel, but lack of real-time action and visibility leads to expense inaccuracies and spend leakage,' continued Nagy. 'This launch is more than an enhanced feature—it's part of an intelligent infrastructure that helps finance teams see, guide, and impact travel spend before it even happens.' A Unified Experience and A Preview of What's Ahead The evolution of the Emburse Enterprise app marks a bold step in our Expense Intelligence roadmap—advancing from manual expense tracking to intelligent, real-time orchestration of enterprise spend. This is fintech-level transformation applied to operational finance, and where organizations are empowered to optimize every stage of the travel journey, from booking to reimbursement. Additional integrations with Emburse Enterprise will be rolled out in the coming months, including Emburse Book, enhanced capabilities with Emburse Go, and Emburse Reshop, to deliver a truly end-to-end T&E experience.

Emburse Expands Receipt Integration Ecosystem with the AAdvantage Business™ program and DoorDash for Business
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Emburse, the company defining Expense Intelligence through AI-powered travel and spend orchestration, today announced the addition of American Airlines AAdvantage Business™ and DoorDash for Business to its growing network of real-time receipt integrations. Emburse is also showcasing its AI-Powered Folio Capture for hotel and car rentals, setting a new standard in automated expense processing. These developments further Emburse's mission to eliminate manual expense reporting by embedding automation directly into business travelers' everyday workflows. Emburse Grows Real-Time Receipt Integration Network Business travelers' receipts from their AAdvantage Business™ flights and DoorDash meals are now automatically imported into Emburse's expense platform—streamlining the experience for users, reducing fraud risk, and giving finance teams enhanced visibility into real-time spend. Furthermore, expense reporting is streamlined using Emburse AI to automatically combine receipts and card transactions into one accurate expense entry. The addition of the AAdvantage Business™ program and DoorDash for Business strengthens Emburse's position as an innovative category leader, building on an expanding ecosystem of partners, which include Uber, Lyft, Grab, Amazon Business, SpotHero, Parking Spot, and TMCs like AmTrav, Egencia, BCD, Navan, CTM, and Emburse's own booking tool, Emburse Book. 'This isn't just about making expenses easier for employees—it's about giving finance leaders confidence and control,' said Paul Nagy, Chief Product Officer of Emburse. 'By expanding our ecosystem to include partners like the AAdvantage Business™ program and DoorDash for Business, and investing in Emburse AI, we're transforming manual receipt capture into a frictionless, hassle-free experience. This is what Expense Intelligence looks like: user-centric, strategic, and designed to improve compliance and financial decision-making.' The new receipt integrations flow directly into Emburse's receipt wallet, automatically matching purchases to transactions and triggering smart expense creation.

This partnership exemplifies our commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and employee satisfaction.' Next-Gen Innovation: AI-Powered Hotel and Car Rental Folios The new integrations build on recent innovations such as AI-Powered Folio Capture for hotel and car rentals—another significant step to eliminating manual work for business travelers and finance teams alike. Based on Emburse AI's OCR transcription announced earlier this year, this new enhancement automates the capture, extraction, and itemization of hotel and car folio data from a variety of sources, including email, mobile, and web uploads. Whether a traveler submits a PDF or a snapshot from their phone, Emburse AI ensures a seamless, accurate, and consistent user experience. The upgraded folio solution intelligently adapts in real-time to evolving templates from global hotel chains and car rental agencies, extracting critical data like check-in/check-out dates and itemized charges with industry-leading accuracy. This smart automation not only accelerates reimbursement cycles for employees but also reduces processing times and errors for finance teams. Additional features like bulk editing, autofill fields, and mobile support further streamline workflows, making auditing and compliance faster and easier. By integrating intelligent receipt and folio capture into the expense lifecycle, Emburse is helping organizations shift from manual oversight to strategic insight—turning transaction data into smarter business decisions. Continued AI Innovation Ahead Additional receipt integrations will be rolled out to customers later this year, with new AI-powered capabilities that will enable the auto-merging of receipts, transactions, and travel data in real-time. These enhancements support Emburse's broader strategy to build a unified, intelligent expense infrastructure—one that simplifies processes and delivers smart automation, one receipt and folio at a time.
