    The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved a total outlay of ₹6,520 crore for the ongoing Central Sector Scheme, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY), for the period of the 15th Finance Commission cycle (2021-22 to 2025-26). The approved amount includes an additional allocation of ₹1,920 crore to support new and existing projects under the scheme.

    Of the total outlay, ₹1,000 crore has been earmarked to set up 50 Multi-Product Food Irradiation Units under the component scheme Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure (ICCVAI) and 100 NABL-accredited Food Testing Laboratories under the Food Safety and Quality Assurance Infrastructure (FSQAI) component. These initiatives are in alignment with announcements made in the Union Budget.

    The remaining ₹920 crore will be used to sanction projects under various other components of PMKSY during the current Finance Commission cycle. Both ICCVAI and FSQAI are demand-driven schemes, with proposals to be invited through Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from eligible entities across the country. Projects will be selected following scrutiny based on the eligibility norms outlined in the scheme guidelines.

    According to the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, the 50 irradiation units are expected to create additional preservation capacity ranging from 20 to 30 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) per annum, depending on the types of food processed. These units will play a crucial role in extending the shelf life of agricultural produce, thereby reducing post-harvest losses.

    In parallel, the proposed 100 food testing labs in the private sector are aimed at developing advanced infrastructure for analysing food samples. The Ministry said these facilities would help strengthen food safety mechanisms and ensure the availability of safe, quality-compliant food products in the market.

    The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana, launched in 2017, seeks to create modern infrastructure and efficient supply chains for the food processing sector.

    Notes:

    • In this press release “corporations” refers to non-financial corporations (sector S.11 in the European System of Accounts 2010, or ESA 2010), “households” refers to households and non-profit institutions serving households (ESA 2010 sectors S.14 and S.15) and “banks” refers to monetary financial institutions except central banks and money market funds (ESA 2010 sector S.122).
    • The composite cost-of-borrowing indicators are described in the article entitled “Assessing the retail bank interest rate pass-through in the euro area at times of financial fragmentation” in the August 2013 issue of the ECB’s Monthly Bulletin (see Box 1). For these indicators, a weighting scheme based on the 24-month moving averages of new business volumes has been applied, in order to filter out excessive monthly volatility. For this reason the developments in the composite cost of borrowing indicators in both tables cannot be explained by the month-on-month changes in the displayed subcomponents. Furthermore, the table on bank interest rates for corporations presents a subset of the series used in the calculation of the cost of borrowing indicator.
    • Interest rates on new business are weighted by the size of the individual agreements. This is done both by the reporting agents and when the national and euro area averages are computed. Thus changes in average euro area interest rates for new business reflect, in addition to changes in interest rates, changes in the weights of individual countries’ new business for the instrument categories concerned. The “interest rate effect” and the “weight effect” presented in this press release are derived from the Bennet index, which allows month-on-month developments in euro area aggregate rates resulting from changes in individual country rates (the “interest rate effect”) to be disentangled from those caused by changes in the weights of individual countries’ contributions (the “weight effect”). Owing to rounding, the combined “interest rate effect” and the “weight effect” may not add up to the month-on-month developments in euro area aggregate rates.
    • In addition to monthly euro area bank interest rate statistics for June 2025, this press release incorporates revisions to data for previous periods. Hyperlinks in the main body of the press release lead to data that may change with subsequent releases as a result of revisions. Unless otherwise indicated, these euro area statistics cover the EU Member States that had adopted the euro at the time to which the data relate.
    • As of reference period December 2014, the sector classification applied to bank interest rates statistics is based on the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010). In accordance with the ESA 2010 classification and as opposed to ESA 95, the non-financial corporations sector (S.11) now excludes holding companies not engaged in management and similar captive financial institutions.

    Headline: Secretary Noem is Taking a Sledgehammer to Criminal Human Trafficking Rings

    lass=”text-align-center”>On this World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security continue taking action to disrupt criminal human trafficking organizations
    WASHINGTON – On this year’s World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is announcing a series of major crack downs against the worst of the worst criminal organizations: human trafficking rings

     
    The previous administration’s open border policies empowered human traffickers and allowed over 450,000 unaccompanied children to be illegally smuggled over the border

     
    Under President Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the full weight of the American government is bringing the hammer down on human trafficking rings

      In just the first few months, the Trump administration has developed leads on thousands of human trafficking cases

     
    DHS has also cracked down on the criminal terrorist gang Tren de Aragua, which enriches itself through the sex trafficking of vulnerable young women

      The Trump administration has arrested more than 2,700 members of Tren de Aragua so far

     
    This crisis is fueled by organized crime networks: sophisticated cartels that exploited the weakness of the previous administration, especially its open border and refusal to enforce immigration law, to rake in billions from forced labor, brutal sexual exploitation, coercing innocent people into drug running, and other heinous crimes

     
    “The brave men and women of DHS are the best in the world at going after traffickers

    They are always able to track down those who are trafficking individuals, find the ringleaders, and rip that evil off by its head,” said Secretary Kristi Noem

    “I’m so thankful that I get the chance to lead individuals like that, and agents who get up every day to help save our children and to save women and men from the kind of slavery that we’ve seen

    ” 
    Below are some examples of how DHS is fighting to put human traffickers out of business: 

    July 28, 2025: As part of Operation Apex Predator, a Child Exploitation Investigations Unit initiative with the Cyber Crimes Center, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Newark arrested four illegal alien child predators over the course of four days

    All four are registered sex offenders

    July 23, 2025: ICE arrested 243 illegal aliens in the Denver metro area

    Among those arrested were aliens wanted for human trafficking, and several members of transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), including Tren de Aragua (TdA), Los Zetas, and the Sinaloa Cartel

  • MIL-OSI USA: NASA Releases Opportunity to Boost Commercial Space Tech Development

    Source: NASA

    NASA has released a new proposal opportunity for industry to tap into agency know-how, resources, and expertise. The Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity (ACO), managed by the Space Technology Mission Directorate, enables valuable collaboration without financial exchanges between NASA and industry partners. Instead, companies leverage NASA subject matter experts, facilities, software, and hardware to accelerate their technologies and prepare them for future commercial and government use. 
    On Wednesday, NASA issued a standing ACO announcement for partnership proposals which will be available for five years and will serve as the umbrella opportunity for topic-specific appendix releases. NASA intends to issue appendices every six to 12 months to address evolving space technology needs. The 2025 ACO appendix is open for proposals until Sept. 24.  
    NASA will host an informational webinar about the opportunity and appendix at 2 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Aug. 6. Interested proposers are encouraged to submit questions which will be answered during the webinar and will be available online after the webinar.   
    NASA teaming with industry isn’t new – decades of partnerships have resulted in ambitious missions that benefit all of humanity. But in recent years, NASA has also played a key role as a technology enabler, providing one-of-a-kind tools, resources, and infrastructure to help commercial aerospace companies achieve their goals.  
    Since 2015, NASA has collaborated with industry on approximately 80 ACO projects. Here are some ways the collaborations have advanced space technology: 

    Blue Origin and NASA worked together on several ACOs to mature the company’s lunar lander design. NASA provided technical reports and assessments and conducted tests at multiple centers to help Blue Origin advance a stacked fuel cell system for a lander’s primary power source. Other Blue Origin ACO projects evaluated high-temperature engine materials and advanced a landing navigation and guidance system. 
    Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark 1 (MK1) lander is delivering NASA science and technology to the Moon through the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative. In 2023, NASA selected Blue Origin as a Human Landing System provider to develop its Blue Moon MK2 lander for future crewed lunar exploration. 

    Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark 1 (MK1) lander is delivering NASA science and technology to the Moon through the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative. In 2023, NASA selected Blue Origin as a Human Landing System provider to develop its Blue Moon MK2 lander for future crewed lunar exploration. 

    Throughout a year-long ACO, NASA and SpaceX engineers worked together to perform in-depth computational fluid analysis of proposed propellant transfer methods between two SpaceX Starship spacecraft in low-Earth orbit. The SpaceX-specific analysis utilized Starship flight data and data from previous NASA research and development to identify potential risks and help mitigate them during the early stages of commercial development. NASA also provided inputs as SpaceX developed an initial concept of operations for its orbital propellant transfer missions. 

    SpaceX used the ACO analyses to inform the design of its Starship Human Landing System, which NASA selected in 2021 to put the first Artemis astronauts on the Moon. 

    Advanced Space and NASA partnered to advance the company’s Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System – software that allows lunar spacecraft to determine their location without relying exclusively on tracking from Earth.  

    The CAPSTONE (Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment) spacecraft launched to the Moon in 2022 and continues to operate and collect critical data to refine the software. Under the ACO, Advanced Space was able to use NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to conduct crosslink experiments with CAPSTONE, helping mature the navigation solution for future missions. The mission’s Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System technology was initially supported through the NASA Small Business Innovation Research program. 

    Sensuron and NASA matured a miniature, rugged fiber optic sensing system capable of taking thermal and shape measurements for multiple applications. Throughout the ACO, Sensuron benefitted from NASA’s expertise in fiber optics and electrical, mechanical, and system testing engineering to design, fabricate, and “shake and bake” its prototype laser. 

    Space missions could use the technology to monitor cryogenic propellant levels and determine a fuel tank’s structural integrity throughout an extended mission. The laser technology also has medical applications on Earth, which ultimately resulted in the Sensuron spinoff company, The Shape Sensing Company. 

    In 2023, Venturi Astrolab began work with NASA under an ACO to test its flexible lunar tire design. The company tapped into testing capabilities unique to NASA, including heat transfer to cold lunar soil, traction, and life testing. The data validated the performance of tire prototypes, helping ready the design to support future NASA missions. 
    In 2024, NASA selected three companies, including Venturi Astrolab, to advance capabilities for a lunar terrain vehicle that astronauts could use to travel around the lunar surface, conducting scientific research on the Moon and preparing for human missions to Mars. 

    The Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity (ACO) is one of many ways NASA enables commercial industry to develop, build, own, and eventually operate space systems. To learn more about these technology projects and more, visit: https://techport.nasa.gov/.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Trump tariff policy continues to cause chaos in American economy

    Source: US State of California 2

    Jul 30, 2025

    What you need to know: California is standing up for all Americans by challenging Trump’s unlawful tariff policy, which is slowing the national economy and raising prices for consumers. 

    SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today filed an amicus brief in support of another lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s illegal tariff debacle.  The tariffs continue to cause chaos in the national economy, raise prices for American families, and put California’s ongoing economic dominance under threat.

    “Trump’s illegal tariffs are stagnating our economy and hurting American families. Bragging that your unlawful policies are producing ‘BETTER THAN EXPECTED’ results while the economy slowed.  That’s like an F student bragging because they got a D-. We should all expect more from the executive branch. California will continue to stand up against Trump’s unlawful actions on behalf of all Americans.”

    Governor Gavin Newsom

    In the first six months of Trump’s presidency, the US economy slowed as a result of his policies. While Trump celebrates that his administration’s economic performance is “BETTER THAN EXPECTED,” American families continue to feel the pain from the impacts of his failed negotiations and increased prices. 

    Even Fox Business set the record straight on Fox News saying: Let’s be real clear here. Tariffs cost, they’re a tax. That tax often gets passed on to consumers.

    Consumers, retailers and the business economy are bracing for the impacts of Trump’s tariffs going into effect in August. Here’s how Trump’s failed tariff policy is impacting all Americans:

    • Fewer people are buying goods. Consumer spending is down to only a 1.4 percent annual rate in the second quarter — well below the 2.8 percent growth in spending in 2024.
    • Stockpiling in anticipation of price increases. Trump tariffs are expected to raise prices on groceries and even Trump officials have reportedly started stockpiling to prepare for price increases and shortages.
    • Prices are already increasing. Price increases due to tariffs could cost households on average an extra $2,400 in 2025, the Yale Budget Lab predicted in their most recent analysis.
       

    A one-two gut punch for California

    In addition to the national repercussions, Trump’s tariffs are having an outsized impact on California’s economy in recent months:

    • Families and workers will bear the brunt. Tariffs could cost households $25 billion and lead to a loss of over 64,000 jobs across California.
    • Businesses are also paying the price. California firms incurred $11.3 billion in tariff costs from January through May 2025, the highest of any state in the country.
    • Global supply chains will continue to be impacted, especially here at home. Recently, the Port of Los Angeles was operating at only 70% capacity due to ongoing tariffs and Southern California saw a 40% decline in job postings related to trade and logistics.

    Standing up for California 

    On April 16, Governor Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit arguing that President Trump lacks the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs through the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, creating immediate and irreparable harm to California, the world’s fourth largest economy, and nation’s leading manufacturing and agriculture state. Today’s amicus brief was filed as part of a separate lawsuit filed by private parties, but aligns with California’s arguments. The lawsuit is ongoing.
     

    “As the country braces for continuous chaos from President Trump’s illegal tariffs, standing united to fight for American consumers and businesses is more important than ever,” said Attorney General Bonta. “Today, I urge the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit  to affirm the District Court’s decision that President Trump’s chaotic tariffs are unlawful — not one word in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Trump Administration’s vehicle for these tariffs, authorizes tariffs. These illegal tariffs will affect everything from the cost of essential household items like food and toilet paper to the cost of housing. The tariff chaos is a man-made crisis, and California families and industries will pay the price.”

    Today’s brief was filed in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, a lawsuit challenging the tariffs President Trump imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and argues that the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia was correct in holding that the Trump Administration’s interpretation of its authority is unlawful.

By integrating PROS enterprise-grade pricing and CPQ with Commerce’s portfolio of industry-leading applications, businesses can meet these demands head-on, resulting in fewer delays, reducing errors and accelerating time to revenue.

For B2B organizations selling with complex catalogs, global operations and diverse sales channels, it translates into faster time-to-value, higher conversion rates and a distinct competitive advantage in an increasingly dynamic market.

    “B2B companies are no longer asking whether they should go digital — they’re asking how quickly they can get there,” said Travis Hess, Chief Executive Officer, Commerce. “By partnering with PROS, we’re giving our customers, from mid-market to global enterprises, the tools to not only sell online, but to do so intelligently, competitively and at scale. And we see this impact going beyond B2B to B2C retailers managing large, dynamic catalogs across multiple channels to improve margin and drive conversion across storefronts and marketplaces.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Solid execution and asset performance support higher 2025 financial outlook

    Market fundamentals drive customer demand for incremental capacity projects

    CALGARY, Alberta, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TC Energy Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) (TC Energy or the Company) released its second quarter results today. François Poirier, TC Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Our commitment to safety and operational excellence continues to drive strong reliability, availability and financial performance, and we now expect our 2025 comparable EBITDA1 outlook to be higher, in the range of $10.8 to $11.0 billion.” Poirier continued, “Compelling fundamentals are unlocking further growth opportunities across our North American portfolio. To meet this unprecedented demand, we have announced $4.5 billion of new growth projects over the past nine months, including requests for incremental capacity on projects already announced — a trend we’re seeing on several projects currently in development. Our focus on project execution is also delivering tangible results and we expect to place approximately $8.5 billion of capital projects into service this year, on time and are tracking approximately 15 per cent below budget. We remain highly confident in our disciplined strategy and our ability to capture high-value, low-risk opportunities across North America that drive long-term shareholder value.”

    CEO Message
    Through the first half of 2025, TC Energy safely and reliably delivered energy across North America, maximizing asset value through safety and operational excellence. Despite the volatility in commodity markets and a complex macroeconomic backdrop, our business continues to demonstrate resiliency, achieving 12 per cent growth in comparable EBITDA and 13 per cent growth in segmented earnings compared to second quarter 2024. Driven by strong performance and focused execution, we now expect our 2025 comparable EBITDA outlook to be higher, in the range of $10.8 to $11.0 billion, compared to the original outlook of $10.7 to $10.9 billion. We continue to advance our strategic priorities – executing a selective portfolio of growth projects, maintaining financial strength and agility, while maximizing the value of our assets through safety and operational excellence. Our performance continues to underscore the strength of our business model and our ability to consistently deliver solid growth, low risk and repeatable performance. TC Energy’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly common share dividend of $0.85 per common share for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, equivalent to $3.40 per common share on an annualized basis.

    Following the completion of the Southeast Gateway pipeline on schedule and under budget in the second quarter, we commenced the collection of tolls from the CFE beginning May 2025. This event represents a significant operational and financial milestone, and an important step for Mexico’s energy landscape and economic development. The Southeast Gateway pipeline is a transformative infrastructure project – serving as a critical artery for delivering natural gas to underserved regions in Southeast Mexico, driving economic growth and energy security while supporting the country’s transition to lower-emitting, more reliable sources of energy. In July, the newly constituted Comisión Nacional de Energía (CNE) approved our regulated rates required to provide service to potential future interruptible service users on the Southeast Gateway pipeline other than the CFE.

    As part of our ongoing efforts to maximize the value of our assets, on July 1, 2025, Columbia Gas notified FERC that it has reached a settlement-in-principle on the Columbia Gas Section 4 Rate Case. Columbia Gas expects the final settlement to include an increase relative to pre-filed rates, subject to revision following completion and approval of settlement terms, which we anticipate in fourth quarter 2025. This outcome on our second-largest pipeline asset demonstrates our ongoing commitment to enhance system integrity and service reliability while ensuring timely capital recovery to maximize our long-term cash flow profile.

    We continue to execute our growth projects on-time and are tracking 15 per cent below budget on approximately $8.5 billion of assets expected to be placed into service this year. Year to date, we have placed into service approximately $5.8 billion of natural gas pipeline capacity projects, including the Southeast Gateway pipeline. In May, we successfully placed the East Lateral XPress (ELXP) project into service. As a strategic expansion of the Columbia Gulf Transmission system, ELXP delivers approximately 0.7 Bcf/d of firm natural gas capacity directly to Venture Global’s Plaquemines LNG terminal in Louisiana, reinforcing our role in enabling reliable, long-term energy supply to global markets.

    Fundamentals continue to drive significant growth opportunities for the incremental build-out of natural gas infrastructure across LNG export, coal-to-gas conversions, data centre demand and LDC reliability. Reflecting this momentum, we reached a positive FID on $0.4 billion of expansion facilities as part of MYGP; a program comprised of multiple distinct projects with targeted in-service dates between 2027 and 2030, subject to final company and regulatory approvals. Once complete, MYGP is expected to enable approximately 1.0 Bcf/d of incremental system throughput – further enhancing our ability to connect natural gas supply from competitive, low-cost basins to critical demand markets across North America. Additionally, we have upsized capacity on our previously announced Maysville and Pulaski projects. In aggregate, over the past nine months we have announced $4.5 billion of new capital projects, each underpinned by long-term take or pay contracts with strong counterparties and delivering a weighted average build multiple5 in the 5-7 times range. Our origination pipeline remains robust, with both the volume and scale of opportunities continuing to grow. We are seeing increased demand across multiple end-use sectors, with customers seeking additional capacity to upsize their projects. We believe this trend reflects strong underlying market fundamentals and reinforces our confidence in the long-term need for safe, reliable and affordable natural gas infrastructure.

    Looking ahead, we have clear visibility into a steady cadence of project announcements in the second half of 2025 and into 2026. Maintaining commitment to our annual net capital expenditure range of $6.0 to $7.0 billion, the majority of incremental capital is expected to be allocated toward the latter part of the decade. Our strategy remains centred on advancing low-risk, brownfield projects, underpinned by long-term contracts with strong counterparties, delivering attractive build multiples. This disciplined approach supports organic comparable EBITDA growth, underpins our three to five per cent annual dividend growth target, and enables ongoing deleveraging as we manage to our long-term target of 4.75 times debt-to-EBITDA6 ratio. These efforts collectively reinforce our commitment to sustainable, long-term value creation for shareholders.

    Finally, we released our 2025 Report on Sustainability. The report reaffirms TC Energy’s role in a collective effort to advance a lower-emissions energy system and demonstrates how we’re aiming to strike a balance between meeting growing energy demand and addressing rising global emissions, while collaborating closely with Indigenous rights holders, customers, neighbors and governments across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Key highlights include:

    • Reduced absolute methane emissions by 12 per cent between 2019 and 2024 while increasing natural gas throughput by 15 per cent and comparable EBITDA in our natural gas business by 40 per cent
    • A continued focus on methane intensity reduction, targeting cost-effective abatement across jurisdictions
    • Achieved a five-year low in our High Energy Serious Injury and Fatality rate, demonstrating tangible progress in safeguarding our people and operations
    • Signed over 40 relationship agreements with Indigenous communities across NGTL and Foothills pipeline systems since 2020.

    Non-GAAP and Supplementary Financial Measure
    This release contains references to the following non-GAAP measures: comparable EBITDA, comparable earnings, comparable earnings per common share and comparable funds generated from operations. It also contains references to debt-to-EBITDA,a non-GAAP ratio, which is calculated using adjusted debt and adjusted comparable EBITDA, each of which are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. These non-GAAP measures are calculated by adjusting certain GAAP measures for specific items we believe are significant but not reflective of our underlying operations in the period. These comparable measures are calculated on a consistent basis from period to period and are adjusted for specific items in each period, as applicable except as otherwise described in the Condensed consolidated financial statements and MD&A. Refer to: (i) each business segment and the discontinued operations section for a reconciliation of comparable EBITDA to segmented earnings (losses); (ii) Consolidated results section and the discontinued operations section for reconciliations of comparable earnings and comparable earnings per common share to Net income attributable to common shares and Net income per common share, respectively; and (iii) Financial condition section for a reconciliation of comparable funds generated from operations to Net cash provided by operations. Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section of the MD&A in our most recent quarterly report for more information about the non-GAAP measures we use. The MD&A is included with, and forms part of, this release. The MD&A can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca under TC Energy’s profile.

    This release contains references to build multiple, which is non-GAAP ratio which is calculated using capital expenditures and comparable EBITDA, of which comparable EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. We believe build multiple provides investors with a useful measure to evaluate capital projects.

    With respect to non-GAAP measures used in the calculation of debt-to-EBITDA, adjusted debt is defined as the sum of Reported total debt, including Notes payable, Long-term debt, Current portion of long-term debt and Junior subordinated notes, as reported on our Consolidated balance sheet as well as Operating lease liabilities recognized on our Consolidated balance sheet and 50 per cent of Preferred shares as reported on our Consolidated balance sheet due to the debt-like nature of their contractual and financial obligations, less Cash and cash equivalents as reported on our Consolidated balance sheet and 50 per cent of Junior subordinated notes as reported on our Consolidated balance sheet due to the equity-like nature of their contractual and financial obligations. Adjusted comparable EBITDA is calculated as the sum of comparable EBITDA from continuing operations and comparable EBITDA from discontinued operations excluding Operating lease costs recorded in Plant operating costs and other in our Consolidated statement of income and adjusted for Distributions received in excess of (income) loss from equity investments as reported in our Consolidated statement of cash flows which we believe is more reflective of the cash flows available to TC Energy to service our debt and other long-term commitments. We believe that debt-to-EBITDA provides investors with useful information as it reflects our ability to service our debt and other long-term commitments. See the Reconciliation section for reconciliations of adjusted debt and adjusted comparable EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

    This release also contains references to net capital expenditures, which is a supplementary financial measure. Net capital expenditures represent capital costs incurred for growth projects, maintenance capital expenditures, contributions to equity investments and projects under development, adjusted for the portion attributed to non-controlling interests in the entities we control. Net capital expenditures reflect capital costs incurred during the period, excluding the impact of timing of cash payments. We use net capital expenditures as a key measure in evaluating our performance in managing our capital spending activities in comparison to our capital plan.

    1 Comparable EBITDA, comparable earnings and comparable earnings per common share are non-GAAP measures used throughout this news release. These measures do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The most directly comparable GAAP measures are Segmented earnings, Net income attributable to common shares and Net income per common share, respectively. We do not forecast Segmented earnings. For more information on non-GAAP measures, refer to the Non-GAAP and Supplementary financial measure section of this news release.

    2 Prior year results have been recast to reflect the Liquids Pipelines business as a discontinued operation as a result of the Spinoff Transaction.

    3 Based on USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of 1.35 for the second half of 2025.

    4 Net capital expenditures are adjusted for the portion attributed to non-controlling interests and is a supplementary financial measure used throughout this news release. For more information on non-GAAP measures and the supplementary financial measure, refer to the Non-GAAP and Supplementary financial measure section of this news release.

    5 Build multiple is a non-GAAP ratio calculated by dividing capital expenditures by comparable EBITDA. Please note our method for calculating build multiple may differ from methods used by other entities. Therefore, it may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. For more information on non-GAAP measures and the supplementary financial measure, refer to the Non-GAAP and Supplementary financial measure section of this news release.

    6 Debt-to-EBITDA is a non-GAAP ratio. Adjusted debt and adjusted comparable EBITDA are non-GAAP measures used to calculate debt-to-EBITDA. For more information on non-GAAP measures, refer to the non-GAAP and Supplementary financial measure section of this news release. These measures do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Heathrow expansion is a “flightmare on Downing Street” say Greens

    Source: Green Party of England and Wales

    by Green Party

    Responding to the release of detailed proposals for Heathrow Airport expansion, Green Party MP, Ellie Chowns, reiterated the Green Party’s opposition to airport expansion, saying,

    “Heathrow Airport expansion is a flightmare on Downing Street for people and planet. On one hand, this government is saying they’re taking the climate crisis seriously, and on the other, they’re backing a project that will release a reported 4.4m tonnes of CO2 a year. These expansion plans would see the number of flights at Heathrow Airport go up to 720,000 from their current capped number of 480,000 a year.

    These expansion plans are, at their heart, aimed to deliver profit for shareholders to enable a small group of people to fly more and more. In the UK we have a few frequent flyers that make up less than 3% of the UK population but take 30% of all journeys. On top of this, they seem oblivious to the impact that these plans will have on the communities currently living around Heathrow. Government must be grounded in reality and look hard at the climate science. No credible net-zero plan can include rampant airport expansion, and it’s time Labour looked to the many, many alternative ways to create high-paid green jobs.”

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: Digital Policy Office introduces initiatives to promote cybersecurity in second half 2025 (with photos)

    Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region

    Digital Policy Office introduces initiatives to promote cybersecurity in second half 2025  
    The Commissioner for Digital Policy, Mr Tony Wong, said that with rapid developments in the digital era, cybersecurity threats have grown increasingly severe. The Government is adopting a multipronged strategy to continuously enhance the cybersecurity resilience of Hong Kong. Reviewing the DPO’s work on cybersecurity in the first half of the year, Mr Wong stated that in addition to co-ordinating with the HKIRC to launch the Cybersec One Programme to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), schools, and non-governmental organisations in strengthening their cybersecurity protection level, the DPO also worked closely with the CSTCB, the HKCERT and various stakeholders to organise a range of awareness campaigns and cybersecurity drills to raise cybersecurity awareness and response capabilities among government departments and the public. In the second half of the year, the DPO will continue to launch a variety of initiatives, including co-ordinating with the HKCERT to implement the Cybersecurity Service Providers Connect Programme, leading the organising of the second Hong Kong Cybersecurity Attack and Defence Drill, and hosting a series of activities to fully support the annual China Cybersecurity Week. These initiatives will further promote cross-sectoral and cross-regional collaboration, strengthen the local cybersecurity ecosystem, and drive the sustainable development of Hong Kong’s digital economy.
     
    At the briefing, the Chief Superintendent of the CSTCB, Mr Lam Cheuk-ho, announced the technology crime figures recorded in the first half of 2025. A total of 16 262 cases were recorded, with financial losses exceeding $3 billion, mainly attributable to substantial losses from online investment fraud, with both figures representing an increase of 0.5 per cent and 14.7 per cent respectively compared to the same period last year. Among these cases, there were only 42 incidents involving destructive hacking, a 22 per cent decrease compared to the same period last year. Mr Lam emphasised that in the face of escalating cybersecurity threats, the Police are intensifying law enforcement while actively strengthening the development of Hong Kong’s cybersecurity ecosystem from multiple dimensions through raising public awareness, nurturing professionals and enhanced public-private partnerships to comprehensively solidify the city’s cybersecurity defence.
     
    The Chief Executive Officer of the HKIRC, Mr Wilson Wong, shared the latest security scan findings, which revealed that around 65 per cent of websites belonging to SMEs, educational and social welfare organisations are at risk of data leakage, reminding organisations to act proactively by patching vulnerabilities and strengthening cybersecurity measures. He encouraged enterprises and organisations to leverage the services of the Cybersec One Programme, including free website risk assessments, vulnerability identifications, staff training and phishing email drills in order to foster a cybersecurity culture and comprehensively improve defence capabilities.
     
    The Chief Digital Officer of the Hong Kong Productivity Council, Mr Edmond Lai, speaking on behalf of the HKCERT, highlighted findings from the 2024 Hong Kong Enterprise Cyber Security Readiness Index and AI Security Survey, noting that nearly 70 per cent of surveyed businesses had experienced cyberattacks, underscoring the urgent need for companies to continue strengthening cybersecurity measures to confront increasingly complex and frequent threats. He added that the Cybersecurity Service Providers Connect Programme launched by the HKCERT will effectively connect cybersecurity service providers with local enterprises and organisations to help them find suitable solutions. The Programme is now open for applications, and the classified and vetted service providers will be showcased on a dedicated platform.
     
    In conclusion, Mr Tony Wong emphasised the theme of “Cybersecurity for the People, Cybersecurity relies on the People”, and maintained that cybersecurity requires the joint efforts of the whole society. Several large-scale major events will take place in Hong Kong in the second half of this year, including the 15th National Games and the Legislative Council general election, etc. These events extensively utilise information technology, and cybersecurity is critical to ensure the smooth execution of the large-scale events. The DPO will continue to partner with all sectors to launch diverse activities and training to continuously enhance Hong Kong’s overall capabilities to tackle risks in cybersecurity, and he appealed for media support in jointly disseminating the importance of cybersecurity and the building of a safer and more resilient digital future.

  • MIL-OSI: Real Matters Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    (all amounts are expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, excluding per share amounts and unless otherwise stated)

    TORONTO, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Real Matters Inc. (TSX: REAL) (“Real Matters” or the “Company”), a leading network management services platform for the mortgage and insurance industries, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2025.

    “Consolidated revenues increased 22% sequentially in the third quarter to $45.4 million, in line with a seasonal uptick in U.S. Appraisal purchase mortgage market volumes and double-digit revenue growth in all three segments. We posted positive consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(A) of $0.3 million, up from a loss of $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2025,” said Real Matters Chief Executive Officer Brian Lang.

    “We continued to launch new clients in the third quarter across all three of our segments and performed at the top of lender scorecards. Subsequent to quarter end, we also went live with our second Tier 1 lender in U.S. Title and added a new top-15 lender in U.S. Appraisal,” added Lang. “Overall, we remain on track with the execution of our strategy which is focused on growing market share and readying the business to scale up when mortgage market volumes normalize.”

    “The number of mortgages being originated at higher interest rates continues to rise, steadily expanding the pool of potential refinance candidates,” concluded Lang. “Currently, nearly 12 million mortgages have rates above 6%, and approximately 8 million of those mortgages have rates above 6.5%. This presents a significant opportunity for us once the rate environment begins to shift – and we are strategically positioned to capitalize on it.”

    Q3 2025 Summary

    • Consolidated revenue of $45.4 million, down 8% year-over-year as increased revenue in our U.S. Title segment was offset by lower year-over-year U.S. Appraisal revenue
    • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(A) of $0.3 million compared with $1.7 million in Q3’24
    • Net loss of $4.9 million, down from net income of $1.7 million in Q3’24 primarily due to an increase of $5.6 in net foreign exchange loss
    • Launched four new clients
    • Real Matters’ U.S. Appraisal mortgage origination volumes were down 16% year-over-year mainly due to lower purchase origination volumes
    • Real Matters’ U.S. Title mortgage origination volumes up 52% year-over-year due to net market share gains with clients and higher refinance origination market volumes
    • Cash and cash equivalents of $43.8 million and no outstanding debt as at June 30, 2025

    (A) Non-GAAP Measures
    The non-GAAP measures used in this news release, including Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS® Accounting Standards and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These non-GAAP measures are more fully defined and discussed in the Company’s MD&A for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 under the heading “Non-GAAP measures”, which is incorporated by reference in this Press Release and available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

    Real Matters financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 are included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying MD&A, each of which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. In addition, supplemental information is available on our website at www.realmatters.com.

    Net Revenue represents the difference between revenues and transaction costs. Net Revenue margin is calculated as Net Revenue divided by Revenues. The reconciling items between net income or loss and Net Revenue were as follows:

  • MIL-OSI: Brazil’s Grupo Petrópolis Uses Descartes Routing Solution to Optimize Nationwide Beverage Distribution

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SÃO PAULO and ATLANTA, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Brazil’s Grupo Petrópolis is using Descartes’ routing and fleet management solution to enhance its nationwide beverage distribution operations using approximately 2,900 vehicles. The Descartes solution helped Grupo Petrópolis achieve an on-time delivery rate of 98%, reduce overtime hours by 9% and decrease fuel consumption by 5%. These improvements reflect more efficient and sustainable fleet operations.

    “To better meet customer needs, we wanted a fleet management platform to enhance on-time performance, improve service in case of returns or customer concerns and advance sustainability goals by reducing carbon emissions,” said Luís Moura, Manager at Grupo Petrópolis. “The Descartes solution gives us a new level of control and visibility into our large distribution network. Across 160 locations, routes are now more intelligent and efficient, and we track all routes in real-time. If a driver goes off a planned route, the system immediately signals the detour so our team can respond quickly, which is critical to providing reliable service. And, because we can act with much more delivery precision and agility, we have lowered fuel and maintenance costs, gained visibility into idle vehicles and overcome challenges with product and delivery traceability.”

    Part of Descartes’ routing, mobile and telematics solution suite, the Descartes routing and fleet management solution helps retail food and beverage distribution companies, like Grupo Petrópolis, manage routes for optimal efficiency and minimize the impact of unforeseen events on customer service levels, mileage and costs. By continually re-optimizing route plans based on real-time traffic data and other variables, the solution enhances customer service by improving on-time delivery performance, lowers mileage by guiding drivers through shorter route paths, and decreases total route time and costs by helping drivers navigate through heavy traffic with alternate routes and stop sequences. The solution also monitors planned vs. actual deliveries, product traceability, journey control (including lunch breaks, overnights and overtime), route deviations, unplanned stops and departure or arrival delays.

    “Our collaboration with Grupo Petrópolis highlights how advanced routing solutions can help transform complex distribution environments into highly efficient, sustainable, and customer-focused logistics operations,” said Douglas Alves, Sales Executive at Descartes. “As food and beverage distributors look for opportunities to enhance last mile performance, our solution suite can help rebalance distribution networks; improve route productivity, execution and sustainability; respond more dynamically to demand; and accelerate cash flow with electronic proof-of-delivery.”

  • MIL-OSI: CSW Industrials Reports Record Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DALLAS, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CSW Industrials, Inc. (NYSE: CSW or the “Company”) today reported record results for the fiscal 2026 first quarter period ended June 30, 2025.

    Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Highlights (comparisons to fiscal 2025 first quarter)

    • Total revenue increased 16.6% to a first quarter record of $263.6 million, driven by the recent acquisitions of Aspen Manufacturing, PSP Products, and PF WaterWorks
    • Net income attributable to CSW of $40.9 million, increased 6.0% to a first quarter record, compared to $38.6 million
    • Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) of $2.43, decreased 1.9% when compared to $2.47
    • Adjusted EPS of $2.85, excluding the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, increased 2.5% when compared to $2.78
    • EBITDA grew 5.3% to a first quarter record of $68.7 million
    • Paid down $40 million of debt at quarter-end, strengthening the balance sheet after borrowing $135 million for the Aspen Manufacturing acquisition during the quarter, resulting in a net leverage ratio (net Debt to EBITDA), in accordance with our credit facility, of 0.2x

    Comments from the Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer

    Joseph B. Armes, CSW Industrials’ Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am very pleased to announce record revenue, net income, EBITDA, and adjusted EPS for the fiscal first quarter. These results were driven by the outstanding performance of our strategic acquisitions of PSP Products, PF WaterWorks, and, most recently, Aspen Manufacturing, which added complimentary, US manufactured, repair-focused air handlers and evaporator coils to the attractive HVAC/R end market. As we have demonstrated over the past decade, our disciplined allocation of capital to acquisitions of innovative products fuels additional future organic revenue growth by adding vitality to our product portfolio while increasing our market share.”

    Armes continued, “Organic volumes were down in the quarter off a challenging comparison, mostly driven by softer demand for products tied to weak housing activity. As we discussed on our previous earnings call, we continue to anticipate delivering full year organic growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA for each segment, along with consolidated EPS growth and stronger operating cash flow, recognizing that timing can create quarterly fluctuations.”

    Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Consolidated Results

    Fiscal first quarter revenue was $263.6 million, a $37.5 million or 16.6% increase over the prior year period. Total revenue growth included $43.7 million or 19.3% inorganic growth contributed by the Aspen Manufacturing, PSP Products, and PF WaterWorks acquisitions, which are all reported within the Contractor Solutions segment, offset by a slight reduction in organic revenue of $6.2 million or 2.8%.

    Gross profit in the fiscal first quarter was $115.4 million, representing 7.5% growth over $107.4 million in the prior year period. Gross margin contracted 370 bps to 43.8%, compared to 47.5% in the prior year period. The gross margin decrease was primarily a result of the inclusion of recent acquisitions, unfavorable quarterly impact of sales mix and volume leverage, and the inflation of some material costs, including the direct and indirect impact from tariffs.

    Operating expenses were $60.6 million in the current fiscal quarter, compared to $52.4 million in the prior fiscal quarter due to additional expenses related to acquired companies. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 23.0%, slightly lower than the prior year period of 23.2%.

    Operating income in the current period was $54.9 million compared to $55.1 million in the prior year period. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 20.8%, compared to 24.3% in the prior year period. The decrease in operating margin was a result of the previously mentioned contraction in the gross margin.

    Interest expense, net of interest income, was $1.0 million, compared to interest expense of $2.5 million in the prior year period. The $1.5 million decrease in interest expense was a result of reduced average borrowing during the current fiscal quarter and one month of interest income earned on cash balances prior to funding the Aspen acquisition on May 1, 2025.

    Net income attributable to CSW (net of non-controlling interest in the joint venture) increased 6.0% to $40.9 million compared to the prior year period of $38.6 million. EPS was $2.43, compared to $2.47 in the prior period due to the incremental increase in shares outstanding resulting from the follow-on equity offering in September 2025. Adjusted EPS, after excluding the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, increased 2.5% to $2.85, compared to $2.78 in the prior year period.

    Fiscal 2026 first quarter EBITDA increased 5.3% to a record $68.7 million, up from $65.3 million in the prior year period. EBITDA margin contracted 280 bps to 26.1%, compared to 28.9% in the prior year period due to the contraction in gross margin offset slightly by leverage on operating expenses.

    The quarterly cash flows from operations of $60.6 million were mostly comparable to $62.7 million in the prior year period, with some routine fluctuations in working capital.

    Free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures, was $57.7 million, as compared to $59.6 million in the prior year period.

    Following quarter-end, the Company announced its twenty-sixth consecutive regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.27 per share, which will be paid on August 8, 2025, to shareholders of record on July 25, 2025.

    The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal first quarter was 24.3%, as compared to 26.4% in the prior year period.

    Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Segment Results

    Contractor Solutions segment revenue was $196.7 million, a $36.3 million or 22.6% increase over the prior year period, comprised of inorganic growth of $43.7 million from the recent acquisitions of Aspen Manufacturing, PSP Products, and PF WaterWorks, offset by a 4.6% or $7.4 million reduction in organic revenue from decreased unit volumes. Organic unit volumes were down in the current quarter due to soft housing activity, a one-time stock up of inventory in the prior year period for a customer’s added distribution center network, higher preseason sales in our fiscal fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, and consumers’ shift to repair of HVAC units versus replacement. As compared to the prior year period, net revenue growth was driven by the HVAC/R, electrical, and plumbing end markets. Segment operating income improved to $52.8 million compared to $49.9 million in the prior year period. The incremental profit resulted from the inclusion of recently acquired businesses and was partially offset by the impact of lower organic sales, as well as unfavorable volume leverage and sales mix. Segment operating income margin for the fiscal first quarter was 26.8% compared to 31.1% in the prior year period primarily due to the gross margin impact of recent acquisitions on our overall profit margin. Segment EBITDA in the fiscal first quarter increased 11.6% to $65.0 million, or 33.0% of revenue, compared to $58.3 million, or 36.3% of revenue in the prior year period.

    Specialized Reliability Solutions segment revenue was $36.8 million, flat to revenue reported in the prior year period. Revenue increased in the mining and energy end markets and declined in the general industrial and rail transportation end markets. Segment operating income was $5.2 million, as compared to $7.2 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 26.7%. Segment operating income margin for the fiscal first quarter was 14.2%, compared to the prior year period of 19.4% as a result of an escalation in commodity pricing, one-time expenses associated with the consolidation of a manufacturing facility, and unfavorable sales mix. Segment EBITDA in the fiscal first quarter was $6.5 million, or 17.7% of revenue, compared to $8.5 million, or 23.1% of revenue in the prior year period.

    Engineered Building Solutions segment revenue was $31.9 million, a 3.2% increase compared to $30.9 million in the prior year period. Segment operating income was $4.0 million, or 12.5% of revenue, as compared to the prior year period of $5.7 million, or 18.5% of revenue. The reduction in operating income was driven by the inflation of some project costs due to tariffs, as well as growth investment in the sales team and R&D to pursue prospective revenue opportunities. Segment EBITDA and EBITDA margin in the fiscal first quarter were $4.4 million and 13.9%, respectively, compared to $6.2 million and 20.1%, respectively, in the prior year period.

    All percentages are calculated based upon the attached financial statements. Share counts used in determining the diluted EPS are based on a weighted average of outstanding shares throughout the reporting period.

    The forward-looking statements included in this press release are based on our current expectations, projections, estimates, and assumptions. These statements are only predictions, not guarantees. Such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from what is forecast in such forward-looking statements, and include, without limitation, the risk factors described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This press release includes an analysis of adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to CSW, adjusted net income attributable to CSW, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted operating income and free cash flows, which are non-GAAP financial measures of performance. Attributable to CSW is defined to exclude the income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Whitmore JV.

    CSW utilizes adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) as an additional consolidated, non-GAAP financial measure, which consists of consolidated net income including income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Whitmore JV, adjusted to remove the impact of income taxes, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and impairment, and significant nonrecurring items.

    For a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and for a discussion of why we consider these non-GAAP measures useful, see the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” section of this release.

    Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

    We use adjusted earnings per share attributable to CSW, adjusted net income attributable to CSW, adjusted operating income, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted EBITDA, together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, cost of revenue, operating expense, operating income and net income attributable to CSW, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance our understanding of our core operating performance. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We also believe these measures are useful for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-recurring items.

  • MIL-Evening Report: Grattan on Friday: Aggrieved Liberals stamp their feet, testing Sussan Ley’s authority

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra

    As any leader of a political party knows, when you demote people they can become difficult, or worse.

    Among Opposition Leader Sussan Ley’s multiple problems are two very unhappy former frontbenchers. Sarah Henderson, who was opposition education spokeswoman last term, and Jane Hume, who had a high profile in finance, were dumped to the backbench in Ley’s reshuffle.

    There were mixed views about Ley’s judgement. But it was clear neither would take the relegation lying down.

    Henderson at the time declared she found it regrettable that “a number of high-performing Liberal women have been overlooked or demoted”. Hume said, ominously, “there is something very liberating about being on the backbench and being able to speak without having to stick to the party line and without having to stick to talking points”.

    This week, both women used their freedom to freelance.

    On the government’s student debt legislation, Henderson made her presence felt by moving an amendment designed to cap indexation. It got only a handful of votes from the crossbench. The opposition abstained.

    Also in the Senate, Hume put down her marker, on a motion moved by One Nation repudiating the net zero target. Predictably, Matt Canavan (Nationals) and Alex Antic (right-wing South Australian Liberal) voted for the motion. The Liberals’ official position – given they’re in no-man’s land, reviewing their policy – was to abstain. But Hume and Andrew McLachlan (a moderate from South Australia), voted against the motion.

    Hume has kept a regular spot on Sky News Australia, an opportunity to use her “liberated” voice.

    Then there’s Andrew Hastie who, despite being a frontbencher, doesn’t feel under collective discipline. Hastie, whom some see as a possible future leader, didn’t get his wish for a non-security portfolio in the reshuffle. Instead, the former defence spokesman was moved to home affairs, a broad job that presents many opportunities.

    When the Western Australian Liberal council passed a motion rejecting net zero at the weekend, Hastie gave his enthusiastic backing.

    He then got stuck into state Liberal leader Basil Zempilas, who had said the WA parliamentary party supported “the status quo on the net zero targets”.

    Hastie fired off a newsletter to supporters declaring, “This motion – moved and supported by my division of Canning – reflects a growing concern from mainstream Australians about our expensive energy bills, unreliable supply, and the erosion of our national sovereignty.

    “I was therefore disappointed to see [Zempilas] publicly dismiss those concerns.”

    The government was quick to exploit this, with Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen telling parliament on Thursday Hastie “will undermine any opposition leader he can find. He’s taking a practice run in Perth for what he intends to do in Canberra, some time in the next 12 months as we all know. He loves undermining leaders of the opposition.”

    Peter Dutton was a disaster for the Liberals, as the election drubbing showed. But he was (mostly) able to impose substantial unity on the parliamentary party.

    That was seen as a big achievement. But it had two downsides. At the time, it stifled what might have been useful internal debate, or warnings, that could have helped the opposition. And now it has left some Liberals who felt they held their tongues last time determined not to do so again. Even those not aggrieved for specific reasons are likely to be more inclined to be outspoken this term.

    Ley will not be able to impose the degree of discipline that Dutton did.

    Meanwhile, as the aggrieved Liberals were stamping their feet, their colleague James Paterson, new to his post of finance spokesman, was seeking to repair some of the political damage the opposition did by its attacks on the public service.

    The hostility to the public service goes back a long way – some might argue it’s ingrained in the Liberals’ DNA. It was strong during Scott Morrison’s prime ministership.

    Dutton promised massive cuts to the Canberra-based public service, which even the Liberals admit would have been unattainable. Hume’s plan to force public servants back into the office five days a week, a policy the opposition had to drop midway through the election campaign, has also left deep suspicion.

    For the Liberals, attacking the public service has always appeared a ready road to savings. But the political dangers are obvious. It is not the seats directly affected – the ACT always votes Labor. But assaults on the public service can be readily segued by the Coalition’s opponents into code for attacks on government services.

    Paterson, who’s also shadow minister for the public service, told an Australian Financial Review summit on government services, “It is not lost on me that promising significant cuts to the size of the APS or changing the way public servants work from home was poorly received and not just here in Canberra.”

    Paterson said, “I have great respect for public servants, and I recognise the significant contributions they make to our democracy.

    “The Coalition aspires to have a respectful, constructive relationship with the APS. We want a motivated, high-performing public service that works in genuine partnership with government to deliver the services Australians rely on. And we want it to do so as a trusted steward of taxpayer dollars.”

    On the basis of history, the public servants will remain suspicious of the Liberals; Paterson’s aim will be to mitigate that as much as possible.

    In a twist on the working-from-home debate, the secretary of the health department, Blair Comley, this week expressed some concern about the implications of the trend.

    “I don’t think anyone is suggesting we go back to a rigid five days a week and no flexibility,” Comley told the AFR summit. But he was worried about what was happening to “learning, development, mentoring, and what’s happening to the social capital”.

    Knowing the sensitivities of the issue, Comley was extremely careful with his words. Hume, having been burned once, was not putting her hand into this particular fire again. “That is not a policy that the Coalition has now, not a policy that we took to the election”, she said. There is a limit to being liberated.

  • Markets end lower amid volatility; FMCG stocks lend support

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Indian equity markets closed marginally lower on Thursday after a volatile trading session marked by global uncertainties. Despite the imposition of tariffs by the United States on Indian imports, domestic indices managed to avert a sharp selloff, buoyed by buying interest in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) stocks.

    The benchmark Sensex closed at 81,185.58, shedding 296.28 points or 0.36 per cent. It had opened sharply lower at 80,695.50 following weak global cues but briefly rebounded in the afternoon session, touching an intraday high of 81,803.27 before slipping again in the final hour due to the expiry of monthly derivatives.

    The Nifty 50 settled at 24,768.35, down 86.70 points or 0.35 per cent.

    Market analysts said the indices reflected the underlying strength of the Indian economy, which continues to show resilience amid global headwinds. “Investors gravitated toward domestically oriented, non-discretionary players, especially FMCG, which offered attractive valuations, demand outlook and relative insulation from tariff risks,” analysts noted.

    Hindustan Unilever led the gains on the back of encouraging quarterly results, lifting the Nifty FMCG index by 791 points or 1.44 per cent. ITC, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and Eternal were also among the gainers.

    On the downside, major drag came from heavyweight stocks like Tata Steel, Sun Pharma, NTPC, Reliance, Asian Paints, L&T, and Titan, which contributed to the day’s losses. Most sectoral indices ended in the red. Nifty Auto declined by 89 points, Nifty IT slipped 180 points, and Nifty Bank was down by 188 points.

    The broader market reflected a similar sentiment with the Nifty Midcap 100 falling 0.93 per cent and Nifty Smallcap 100 down 1.05 per cent, indicating profit booking across segments.

    Despite the subdued closing, market experts remain cautiously optimistic, citing strong domestic fundamentals and the rotation of investor interest toward sectors less exposed to global trade tensions.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The CSR discussed how platform employment regulation will develop

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) – Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Center for Strategic Research held a round table entitled “Platform Employment in the New Conditions: What Changes After the Law on the Platform Economy.” Together with representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development, the State Duma, the expert and academic community, as well as leading digital platforms, they discussed the adopted law on the platform economy and future regulatory detailing at the level of by-laws.

    According to the participants, the adopted law was an important step in the formation of a basic regulatory framework, but it is now that the most subtle and meaningful part of the work begins – filling this framework with tools, concepts and mechanisms.

    The moderator of the round table, CEO of the CSR Pavel Smelov noted: “Russia is one of the few countries where digital platforms have become a truly systemic part of the economy. We have not just implemented technologies, we have created our own model – and this is a serious competitive advantage. Now our task is not to lose our leadership, to take the next step – to turn the platform economy into a full-fledged export model. It is no longer just about technologies, but about a new logic of the economic structure that can be transmitted beyond the country’s borders.”

    Also, in his opinion, the key direction of the next stage is the issue of platform employment: “We are already living in a new reality: there is a platform, there is a platform economy, and we still continue to hold on to the old model of social security, as if nothing has changed. The social security system needs to be revised taking into account how the employment market is actually structured today. People are developing other principles of financial stability: investments, a safety net, additional income. Therefore, it is important not only to protect, but also to educate – to help people navigate modern work formats and make informed decisions. Especially when it comes to those for whom the platform is not their main, but additional employment.”

    The Ministry of Economic Development emphasized that the implementation of the law will require a flexible and consistent approach, especially in terms of employment. The main focus in the coming months is work on by-laws, the launch of a digital platform registry mechanism, and the preparation of clarifications.

    “Russia has made great strides in developing the platform economy: we already have our own effectively functioning models that are of interest abroad. But it is important not to stop there. Platforms are developing rapidly, and regulation should not slow down, but rather accompany this process, be flexible and targeted. We see that citizens make decisions based not only on the logic of the future, but also on current circumstances — and pensions and social guarantees are not always perceived as real values. Therefore, the platform can become a channel through which we will rethink social policy — at the level of product, convenience, and trust. We have examples when digital, platform services became a necessary tool for performers to legalize and comply with legal requirements, including the calculation and payment of taxes. Platform tools have proven their convenience and demand. In turn, this approach provides additional opportunities to ensure control by the state. Our task today is not to go to extremes, but to maintain an open dialogue, flexibility, and thoughtfulness. This is precisely the strength of the platform economy,” said Vladimir Voloshin, Director of the Department of Digital Development and Data Economy at the Ministry of Economic Development.

    State Duma Deputy Stanislav Naumov reported that an expert council will be created under the Committee on Economic Policy, which will undertake in-depth study of unresolved issues.

    “In September, we are ready to move on. For me personally, there are three priorities today. The first is export orientation: platforms should help Russian businesses enter foreign markets, and not just regulate access of foreign players to ours. The second is the development of internal B2B interaction, where online platforms can become a full-fledged infrastructure for cooperation between suppliers. And the third is the use of platforms to improve the efficiency of state and municipal procurement,” he said.

    As for platform employment, according to the deputy, this is not just a regulatory issue – it is a question of filling the social fund and, as a result, a real opportunity to increase the minimum level of pensions in those regions where it is objectively insufficient today. “This is how I understand the social task of regulation,” he concluded.

    Business supported the general vector, but drew attention to the need for a differentiated approach. Industry representatives emphasized that uniform standards for platforms with fundamentally different models — from marketplaces to service aggregators — could result in risks for flexibility and employment.

    “The platform economy has already changed the market, and the self-employed regime has proven that people are ready to come out of the shadows if they are offered transparent and convenient conditions. Let’s not abolish what works, but rebuild the old – so that the economy, employment and the contribution system develop synchronously,” said Anton Danilov-Danilyan, Deputy Chairman of Delovaya Rossiya, head of the working group of transport service aggregators at the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. According to Yuri Bogdanov, General Director of the Association of Digital Platforms, “it is digitalization, platform development and the tax regime on professional income that give the state a chance to oust gray practices through transparency.”

    “Platform employment is being formed to a greater extent in industries with high demand for flexible types of employment, allowing for the expansion of participation of various groups of the population in the economy. Therefore, it is important not just to offer them standard social benefits, but to understand what they really need and what they are ready to use,” noted Rimma Chichakyan, Director of Legal Affairs and Government Relations at Yandex Taxi.

    Ozon representative Alexander Vasiliev supported this position. “We are no longer living in an industrial economy, but in a post-industrial economy, and regulation should take this into account. At the same time, it is important to maintain a choice between different employment formats and not limit new models,” he noted.

    The participants of the discussion agreed that the development of the platform economy does not require strict regulation, but rather fine-tuning and careful attention to specifics. Among the priority areas, the participants highlighted the need to clarify the criteria for the integrity of platforms, the formation of mechanisms for distinguishing employment from shadow schemes, as well as work on the status of the performer and protection tools. Particular attention was paid to the creation of a sustainable format for dialogue between the state, business and experts – both on the parliamentary platform and within the framework of the implementation of the law in practice.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Financial News: Recommendations for financial market participants on the conceptual design of the “Reference and Master Data” process

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Central Bank of Russia –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The development of modern technologies, the increase in the amount of data, the emergence of new financial products and the digitalization of traditional ones require financial market participants to create and improve data management systems.

    The main tasks of data management systems development:

    improving the quality and reliability of data, increasing their efficiency, transparency of data preparation processes for regulatory reporting, increasing flexibility and speed of response to changes in regulation, increasing the efficiency of core business processes.

    The Bank of Russia believes that data management systems of individual financial institutions are important for maintaining the quality of data in the country’s financial system as a whole. Proper data management is also necessary for the timely and complete provision of regulatory reporting, on the basis of which supervisory decisions are made, among other things.

    The conditions for the development of data management systems are created by the Bank of Russia taking into account global experience, the current level of development of financial organizations, current restrictions on technologies and general challenges facing the domestic financial market.

    In 2024, the regulator created a working group on the development of data management systems for financial market participants, which includes representatives of the Bank of Russia’s structural divisions and the director of data management for financial institutions. The head of the working group is Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia Valery Kazarin. The working group includes subgroups to develop a methodology for assessing the maturity of data management systems for financial market participants and to develop methodological recommendations for the development of data management systems for financial market participants.

    The working group has developed recommendations for the development of data management systems for financial market participants and a methodology for self-assessing the maturity of data management systems for financial market participants.

    Market participants are encouraged to regularly conduct self-assessments of the maturity level of data management systems, which will improve the quality of data and analytics, optimize information management processes, and more quickly adapt to regulatory changes. Based on the results of the self-assessment, a market participant can take advantage of recommendations of the working group to improve the efficiency of their processes and technological solutions.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Swift Launches Stage 2 of Presale With Programmable Staking Rewards and Audited Infrastructure

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LUXEMBOURG, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Swift (BTC3), a modular blockchain protocol built for programmable finance, has officially entered Stage 2 of its 64-day presale. The project introduces smart contract automation, zero-knowledge privacy systems, and real-time staking rewards starting from day one.

    Unlike traditional blockchain protocols that depend on static systems, Bitcoin Swift incorporates embedded AI agents into its smart contracts. These contracts adjust to network conditions and participant behavior, optimizing outcomes over time. The technology stack includes a WASM engine, zk-SNARK-based privacy, and decentralized identity (DID) tools, creating a platform that combines user privacy with regulatory adaptability.

    Presale Participation Includes Real-Time Staking Rewards

    Participants in the presale can access programmable staking rewards through Bitcoin Swift’s Proof-of-Yield (PoY) system. This system moves beyond static emission models by dynamically adjusting rewards based on user activity and environmental performance. These features are live and integrated at the protocol level, with no requirement to wait for future updates.

    Currently in Stage 2 of its 64-day presale, Bitcoin Swift is gaining momentum across both crypto-native and institutional communities. Backed by KYC verification and audits from SpyWolf and SolidProof, the project is building trust while delivering innovation.

    Key Features of the Bitcoin Swift Protocol:

    • AI-powered smart contracts that evolve over time using reinforcement learning
    • zk-SNARK-based privacy architecture allowing for confidential yet auditable transactions
    • DID-based identity layer enabling selective disclosure and reputation-based governance
    • Hybrid consensus mechanism optimized for scalability and regulatory alignment

    Ecosystem Development and Market Reception

    As Bitcoin Swift gains attention, the project is engaging with the broader crypto community to explain its technical innovations. Influencers and ecosystem participants have highlighted the protocol’s integrated reward system, privacy tools, and modular structure as notable developments during the current market cycle.

    The team plans to release further updates during the presale window, including testnet onboarding and early adopter tutorials to support long-term engagement.

    Influencers Are Taking Notice

    Crypto influencers are already spotlighting BTC3 as a unique presale opportunity. Their coverage points to the chain’s advanced tech and early-stage reward structure.

    Notes
       
    (1) Earnings per share (diluted) adjusts for the dilutive effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of our common stock.

    We assume the settlement of all of our Redeemable non-controlling interests using the maximum number of shares permitted under our arrangements. The issuance of shares and the related income acquired are excluded from the calculation if an assumed purchase of Redeemable non-controlling interests would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.

    We are required to apply the if-converted method to our outstanding junior convertible securities when calculating Earnings per share (diluted). Under the if-converted method, shares that are issuable upon conversion are deemed outstanding, regardless of whether the securities are contractually convertible into our common stock at that time. For this calculation, the interest expense (net of tax) attributable to these dilutive securities is added back to Net income (controlling interest), reflecting the assumption that the securities have been converted. Issuable shares for these securities and related interest expense are excluded from the calculation if an assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.

    The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
       
        Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended

      Interest expense on junior convertible securities, net of taxes   3.4       3.4       6.7       6.7

      Junior convertible securities   1.7       1.7       1.7       1.7  
      Average shares outstanding (diluted)   35.3       31.4       36.0       32.3  
                                     
    (2) As supplemental information, we provide non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest), Economic net income (controlling interest), and Economic earnings per share. We believe that many investors use our Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) when comparing our financial performance to other companies in the investment management industry. Management utilizes these non-GAAP performance measures to assess our performance before our share of certain non-cash GAAP expenses primarily related to the acquisition of interests in Affiliates and to improve comparability between periods. Economic net income (controlling interest) and Economic earnings per share are used by management and our Board of Directors as our principal performance benchmarks, including as one of the measures for determining executive compensation. These non-GAAP performance measures are provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Net income (controlling interest), Earnings per share, or other GAAP performance measures. For additional information on our non-GAAP measures, see our most recent Annual and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q, respectively, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

    Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) represents our performance before our share of interest expense, income and certain non-income based taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments, gains and losses related to Affiliate Transactions, and non-cash items such as certain Affiliate equity activity, gains and losses on our contingent payment obligations, and unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments. Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) is also adjusted to include realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments.

    Under our Economic net income (controlling interest) definition, we adjust Net income (controlling interest) for our share of pre-tax intangible amortization and impairments related to intangible assets (including the portion attributable to equity method investments in Affiliates) because these expenses do not correspond to the changes in the value of these assets, which do not diminish predictably over time. We also adjust for deferred taxes attributable to intangible assets because we believe it is unlikely these accruals will be used to settle material tax obligations. Further, we adjust for gains and losses related to Affiliate Transactions, net of tax, and other economic items. Other economic items include certain Affiliate equity activity, gains and losses related to contingent payment obligations, tax windfalls and shortfalls from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments, and realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments.

    Economic earnings per share represents Economic net income (controlling interest) divided by the Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted). In this calculation, we exclude the potential shares issued upon settlement of Redeemable non-controlling interests from Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted) because we intend to settle those obligations without issuing shares, consistent with all prior Affiliate equity purchase transactions. The potential share issuance in connection with our junior convertible securities is measured using a “treasury stock” method. Under this method, only the net number of shares of common stock equal to the value of the junior convertible securities in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be outstanding. We believe the inclusion of net shares under a treasury stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase shares of our common stock) that occurs when these securities are converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation.

    The following table provides a reconciliation of Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted):
       

       

        Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
      (in millions) 6/30/2024   6/30/2025   6/30/2024   6/30/2025
      Average shares outstanding (diluted) 35.3     31.4     36.0     32.3  
      Hypothetical issuance of shares to settle Redeemable non-controlling interests (0.2 )   (0.2 )   (0.3 )   (0.6 )
      Junior convertible securities (1.7 )   (1.7 )   (1.7 )   (1.7 )
      Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted) 33.4     29.5     34.0     30.0  
                             
    (3) The following table presents pre-tax equity method earnings, equity method intangible amortization and impairments, and equity method income tax, which in aggregate form Equity method income (net):
       
        Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
      (in millions) 6/30/2024   6/30/2025   6/30/2024   6/30/2025
      Pre-tax equity method earnings $ 80.3     $ 94.1     $ 222.8     $ 193.6  
      Equity method intangible amortization and impairments   (60.8 )     (27.0 )     (81.6 )     (45.6 )
      Equity method income tax   (1.4 )     (1.5 )     (5.5 )     (7.1 )
      Equity method income (net) $ 18.1     $ 65.6     $ 135.7     $ 140.9  
                                     
    (4) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, other economic items and other items include a one-time expense of $30.5 million which resulted from a modification of Affiliate equity which, consistent with the definitions of our non-GAAP performance measures, has been added back to Economic net income (controlling interest) and Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest).

    Q3 and 2025 Financial Outlook:

    For the third quarter of 2025, we currently expect:

    • Total revenue between $85 million to $87 million.
    • Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be between $2.3 million to $3.3 million.

    For the full year 2025, we currently expect:

    • Total revenue between $339.6 million and $346.6 million.
    • Non-GAAP operating income between $19 million and $25 million.

    Our third quarter and 2025 financial outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside our control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, our expectations may change. There can be no assurance that we will achieve these results.

    We do not provide guidance for loss from operations , the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Non-GAAP operating income, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Non-GAAP operating income and Non-GAAP income per share and these comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain items. These items are not within our control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

    The financial results and business highlights will be discussed on a conference call and webcast scheduled at 7:00 a.m. CT (8:00 a.m. ET) on Thursday, July 31, 2025.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “outlook,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “predict,” “potential,” “strategy,” “target,” “explore,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements may relate to our ability to successfully execute our rebranding initiative, our increased focus on AI enablement, market size and growth strategy, our estimated and projected costs, margins, revenue, expenditures and customer and financial growth rates, our Q3 and fiscal 2025 financial outlook, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth, initiatives or strategies. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties and risks, including factors beyond our control, that could cause actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These assumptions, uncertainties and risks include that, among others, our business would be harmed by any decline in new customers, renewals or upgrades, our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects and future results of operations, we operate in competitive markets, we may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate in the future, our business would be harmed by any significant interruptions, delays or outages in services from our platform or certain social media platforms, and a cybersecurity-related attack, significant data breach or disruption of the information technology systems or networks could negatively affect our business. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are included under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the future quarterly and current reports that we file with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made and are based on information available to Commerce at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events. Commerce assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, except as required by law.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We have provided in this press release certain financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believes that use of these Non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar Non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of our historical Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations.

    Annual Revenue Run-Rate

    We calculate annual revenue run-rate at the end of each month as the sum of: (1) contractual monthly recurring revenue at the end of the period, which includes platform subscription fees, invoiced growth adjustments, feed management subscription fees, recurring professional services revenue, and other recurring revenue, multiplied by twelve to prospectively annualize recurring revenue, and (2) the sum of the trailing twelve-month non-recurring and variable revenue, which includes one-time partner integrations, one-time fees, payments revenue share, and any other revenue that is non-recurring and variable.

    Enterprise Account Metrics

    To measure the effectiveness of our ability to execute against our growth strategy, we calculate ARR attributable to Enterprise Accounts. We define Enterprise Accounts as accounts with at least one unique Enterprise plan subscription or an enterprise level feed management subscription (collectively “Enterprise Accounts”). These accounts may have more than one Enterprise plan or a combination of Enterprise plans and non-enterprise plans.

    Average Revenue Per Account

    We calculate average revenue per account (“ARPA”) for accounts in the Enterprise cohort at the end of a period by including customer-billed revenue and an allocation of partner and services revenue, where applicable. We allocate partner revenue, where applicable, primarily based on each customer’s share of gross merchandise volume (“GMV”) processed through that partner’s solution. For partner revenue that is not directly linked to customer usage of a partner’s solution, we allocate such revenue based on each customer’s share of total platform GMV. Each account’s partner revenue allocation is calculated by taking the account’s trailing twelve-month partner revenue, then dividing by twelve to create a monthly average to apply to the applicable period in order to normalize ARPA for seasonality.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net loss, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax costs, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition related costs, restructuring charges, depreciation, gain on convertible notes extinguishment, interest income, interest expense, other expense, and our provision or benefit for income taxes.

    Acquisition related costs include contingent compensation arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions and achieved earnout related to an acquisition.

    Restructuring charges include severance benefits, right-of-use asset impairments, lease termination gain, software impairments, accelerated depreciation and amortization, and professional services costs.

    Depreciation includes depreciation expenses related to the Company’s fixed assets.

    The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss.

    Non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss)

    We define Non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss) as our GAAP Loss from operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax costs, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition related costs, and restructuring charges. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is our loss from operations.

    Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

    We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as our GAAP net loss, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax costs, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition related costs, restructuring charges, and gain on convertible notes extinguishment. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is our net loss.

    Non-GAAP Basic and Dilutive Net Income (Loss) per Share

    We define Non-GAAP Basic and Dilutive Net Income (Loss) per Share as our Non-GAAP net income (loss), defined above, divided by our basic and diluted GAAP weighted average shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is our basic net loss per share.

    Free Cash Flow

    We define Free Cash flow as our GAAP cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less our cash paid for website domain name and GAAP purchases of property, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized internal-use software (Capital Expenditures). The most directly comparable GAAP measure is our cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities.
