HOUSTON , Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nauticus Robotics, Inc. KITT , a leading innovator in autonomous subsea robotics and software, recently completed a project for a second global supermajor oil and gas company in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) to perform a subsea field inspection utilizing its flagship underwater vehicle, Aquanaut Mark 2. Nauticus' Autonomous Solutions team completed the inspection in the GOM last month. The scope involved multiple days of executing visual inspections of subsea assets. This demonstration aimed to validate the ability of Nauticus' technology to fulfill the customer's subsea technology roadmap. Nauticus and the customer are discussing 2025 projects. Nauticus' CEO and President, John Gibson , commented, "We are excited to be in collaboration with another critical customer. Our mutual goal is the enhancement of decision-making while minimizing environmental impact. By deploying autonomous technology, we can materially reduce daily diesel fuel consumption and associated emissions for each Aquanaut in operation." About Nauticus Robotics Nauticus Robotics, Inc. develops autonomous robots for the ocean industries. Autonomy requires the extensive use of sensors, artificial intelligence, and effective algorithms for perception and decision allowing the robot to adapt to changing environments. The company's business model includes using robotic systems for service, selling vehicles and components, and licensing of related software to both the commercial and defense business sectors. Nauticus has designed and is currently testing and certifying a new generation of vehicles to reduce operational cost and gather data to maintain and operate a wide variety of subsea infrastructure.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (NASDAQ: CRKN) ("Crown" or the "Company”) , a leading provider of innovative technology infrastructure solutions that benefit communities and the environment, today provided a letter to shareholders from its CEO and Chairman, Doug Croxall. Dear Fellow Shareholders, As 2024 comes to a close, I want to reflect on Crown’s accomplishments this year and share our vision for the year ahead. It has been a transformative year for Crown, as we have evolved into a rapidly growing public conglomerate with three diversified divisions: Smart Windows, Fiber Optics, and Water Solutions. This year, we made significant operational progress, achieving key milestones that position Crown for continued growth and success. We expanded our presence across eight U.S. states and two countries, building a robust platform to address critical infrastructure and technology challenges. We are on track to deliver $20 million in revenue for 2024, which is all the more impressive given it was primarily generated in the final three quarters. This achievement reflects our progress and the strong demand for our innovative technology infrastructure solutions. Financially, we are well-positioned to achieve profitability in the first half of 2025, even as we continue to invest strategically in our growth plans. Crown has actively raised capital recently to execute those expansion plans and will close the year with record levels of cash in hand and minimal debt. This achievement reflects our disciplined approach to building a healthy balance sheet and implementing the structure required to support both near-term objectives and long-term expansion. We share in your frustration that our market value, trading at approximately our current cash value, does not yet reflect either Crown’s recent achievements or its immense future potential. However, we remain confident that this disparity will correct itself as we build a company that delivers meaningful impact, sustainable growth, and shareholder value. To ensure we maintain our listing status, we have filed our appeal with NASDAQ and expect to go before the hearing committee likely in early February. We will provide timely updates as they become available to Crown. In preparation, we have filed a Proxy Statement ahead of the Special Meeting on January 14 th and are requesting approval to execute a reverse stock split to maintain bid-price compliance. We strongly urge our shareholders to favorably vote their approximately 64 million voting shares, and to provide Crown with the flexibility and financial strength needed to continue delivering against our growth plans. 2024 Division Highlights Smart Windows Achieved a critical manufacturing technology breakthrough, opening the way for product launch in 2025. Strengthened our leadership team by appointing Sheldon Davis as President of Smart Windows, bringing customer-focused expertise and a proven track record in commercializing innovative products. Additionally, Rob Vandal joined as the division’s Chief Technology Officer, bolstering our R&D team with his extensive experience in product development and industrial manufacturing. Announced a three-phase product rollout strategy for our first-generation Smart Window Inserts, expected to commence in the first quarter of 2025. This three-phase launch will further align our product and offerings with customer needs. Fiber Optics Hired Corey Boaz as President, Construction, an expert in construction of underground utility infrastructure with a focus on trenchless technologies. Secured design and construction customer agreements for fiber optics networks across multiple states, including Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Florida. Successfully laid over 2 million feet of fiber optics this year deploying high-tech equipment and subcontractor expertise. Water Solutions Slant Wells Developed the first-of-its-kind slant well for a more economical and efficient intake of water, led by Corey Boaz, President of Construction, using his trenchless technology expertise. Secured first contract for two slant wells in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. During construction, we expanded the project extending the length of the slant wells for increased access to water. This December, we completed construction of the first slant well with the second soon to be completed in 2025. Engaged with new customers for survey work in the Los Cabos area to prepare for additional slant well installations over the next year. Announced key plans to build and co-own reverse osmosis plant to provide a complete water purification solution for customers to combat water scarcity. Lead Pipes: Element 82 & PE Pipelines Appointed David Kinsella as President, Element 82 and PE Pipelines, bringing over 20 years of expertise in strategic operational management including large-scale construction projects. Partnered with Electro Scan Inc. to provide a non-destructive and non-invasive solution to accurately identify lead with the Swordfish device. Conducted lead testing on over 2,500 homes across Florida, Maryland, and New York, securing more than $45 million in lead inspection and remediation projects. 2025 Outlook As we look ahead to 2025, Crown is stronger, more focused, and better positioned than ever to capitalize on new opportunities. With momentum across our three divisions, we are committed to achieving profitability in the first half of 2025, expanding our footprint to meet increasing demand, and delivering innovative infrastructure solutions that address critical challenges. Our team of industry experts, with a desire to change the status quo through innovation, is growing rapidly. As we scale, we are actively refining our business processes to align with our growing operations while maintaining agility and focus. Looking ahead, we provided full year 2025 revenue guidance between $30 million and $35 million, underscoring the expected strength of our business to come. To our shareholders, thank you for your trust and confidence as we continue to execute our vision. While our stock price does not yet reflect the intrinsic value of Crown, we remain focused on building a company that delivers meaningful impact, sustainable growth, and shareholder value. Approving the proposed reverse stock split is a critical step in strengthening our position to meet listing requirements, attract new investors, and enhance financial flexibility. Your support is vital to driving Crown’s long-term success and unlocking its full potential. We’re excited for 2025 and look forward to updating you on our progress regularly.

For a few more weeks, Biden retains the responsibilities and powers of the nation’s highest office. If he believes his words, he must take urgent action to strengthen our democracy, even as he works to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. President-elect Donald Trump has made little secret of his desire for unchecked power, whether to be a dictator on day one, weaponize the Department of Justice against perceived enemies or strip broadcast licenses from disfavored media outlets. But this has yet to come to pass. America only has one president at a time. If Biden’s campaign ad was more than political bluster — and his lifetime of dedicated public service suggests it was heartfelt — he must now do everything he can to safeguard our fundamental rights. So what can he do? First, he can shore up protections for the dedicated career civil servants who keep us safe. Doctors, scientists and bank inspectors ensure the prescribed drugs are safe, our water is free of toxins, our jobs won’t cause us injury and our life’s savings won’t disappear when we make a deposit. Civil servants in agencies such as the FBI, CIA and Defense Department keep us safe from terrorists and foreign adversaries. With his billionaire Cabinet picks and quid-pro-quo style, Trump will replace servants of the people with those who serve him. He doesn’t want career civil servants to blow the whistle when his actions sacrifice Americans’ safety and well-being to benefit his wealthy friends. Solidifying job protections for civil servants gives them what authoritarians hate most: the ability to stand up, speak truth and ensure our laws are followed. Biden says he’s the most labor-friendly president in a generation. Now he must aggressively side with public workers in contract negotiations and offer whistleblower training to put our health and safety over the interests of billionaires. Second, Biden can recognize the Equal Rights Amendment to protect women. Many in Trump’s orbit are pushing him to use draconian measures to block Americans’ access to reproductive care. His nominee for defense secretary has said he believes women are less effective fighters and shouldn’t serve in ground combat units. Trump also could scale back efforts to combat sex discrimination in the workplace and health care. The ERA could offer vital constitutional protections. Virginia ratified it in 2020 and was the last state needed to bring it into force, but it has yet to be formally recognized as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. This is the case even as the nation’s leading scholars and the American Bar Association argue it has already been adopted. Biden has the power to clarify this once and for all. Finally, Biden should do all he can to prepare our military, law enforcement and intelligence communities to uphold the rule of law and push back against attempts to weaponize them against law-abiding citizens. The Republican-led House of Representatives has passed two bills to safeguard journalists and stop the government from purchasing Americans’ private location, web history and search data without a warrant. Biden must press the Senate to take immediate action on these bills. Through training and guidance, he also can reiterate that presidential immunity does not shield military and law enforcement officers from the legal requirement to follow only lawful orders. Additionally, his administration can lay out constraints on the domestic deployment of federal forces, even if they are ultimately reversed. Biden’s term isn’t over, nor is his responsibility to the children and grandchildren watching him, waiting to see what kind of America they will inherit. Urgent actions are sitting on the most powerful desk in America. We must now ask the lifelong statesman and patriot who sits behind it: What will you do to protect our democracy?
