Karman Holdings delivered a strong Q2 with revenue up 58% to $182 million and net income more than doubling to $14 million, driven by growth across all defense end markets and contributions from the Seemann acquisition. The backlog reached a record $1.3 billion, signaling sustained demand. However, the company disclosed that material weaknesses in internal controls remain unremediated and that its disclosure controls were not effective as of quarter-end — a governance red flag that tempers the operational momentum. The subsequent interest rate cut on its term loan and the planned $94 million Walker Precision acquisition add strategic positives, but the control deficiencies keep the risk profile elevated.
