Management Commentary
“Although DOGE budget constraints and deferred contracts impacted our results in the first half of 2025, our third and fourth quarters have traditionally been robust, and we are encouraged by the potential to accelerate revenue from our expanding backlog,” stated Kevin Kelly, CEO and Chairman of Cycurion, Inc. “Through Cycurion Digital Currency’s innovative approach, alongside collaborations with NACCHO, LSV-TECH, and IQSTEL, we are well-equipped to meet rising cybersecurity needs and deliver sustained shareholder value.”
Business and Strategic Developments
- Second-Half Expectations: Cycurion’s Q3 and Q4 have historically driven stronger results from seasonal contract cycles. The Company is actively pursuing conversions from its backlog, which has swelled amid DOGE delays, with anticipated advancements as federal funding stabilizes—though timelines are variable
- Expanding Pipeline: DOGE cuts have contributed to a larger contract backlog; leadership is committed to realizing these opportunities in the latter half of 2025, contingent on easing government fiscal pressures
- Digital Currency Initiative: The launch of Cycurion Digital Currency, a fully owned subsidiary, includes a $10 million commitment to Bitcoin and Ethereum investments, prioritizing long-term holdings, clear reporting, and adherence to regulations. This move broadens the Company’s portfolio in the dynamic digital economy
- Key Collaborations:
- NACCHO Collaboration: Teaming with the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) enables Cycurion to offer premium cybersecurity services to public health entities, tackling urgent online risks
- LSV-TECH Collaboration: Partnering with LSV-TECH International Consortium extends Cycurion’s MSSP Cyber Shield platform into Latin America, tapping into LSV-TECH’s ties with Colombian academic institutions and its Nokia-backed network spanning 135 nations
- IQSTEL Collaboration: A $1 million stock-swap MOU with IQSTEL establishes an equity alliance to build an AI-enhanced cybersecurity solution for telecom worldwide. Merging Cycurion’s security prowess with IQSTEL’s access to 600+ operators unlocks mutual sales channels and innovative advancements
- SLG Integration: Cycurion secured a 51% stake in SLG Innovation, Inc. on March 31, 2025, for about $13.5 million, bolstering its tech services lineup and growth trajectory
- Balance Sheet Enhancement: In the first half of 2025, Cycurion secured $0.3 million via an equity line and $3.7 million from warrant exercises, while transforming convertible notes and promissory notes into equity for improved financial health
Balance Sheet Overview: June 30, 2025
- Cash: Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.0 million, up 2,516.9% from $0.04 million at December 31, 2024, driven by financing activities including warrant exercises and note proceeds.
- Liquidity: The Company is advancing efficiency measures and funding strategies to enhance liquidity, supported by $5.6 million in net cash from financing activities in the first half of 2025, despite $6.3 million in cash used in operating activities.
- Working Capital: A working capital shortfall of $14.3 million persists, reflecting a 23.2% increase in current liabilities to $20.0 million from $18.7 million at year-end 2024, primarily due to factoring liabilities and accounts payable growth.
- Debt: Gross debt totaled $9.9 million, including $3.2 million in revolving credit, $0.6 million in current bank loans, $0.9 million in current loans payable, $2.3 million in factoring liability, $2.7 million in promissory notes, $0.2 million in related-party loans, and $0.3 million in non-current loans, relatively stable compared to $10.5 million at December 31, 2024.Total assets reached $30.7 million, up from $25.6 million at year-end 2024, largely from SLG-related goodwill
