  • MIL-OSI USA: Markey Rips Republicans for Gutting Public Broadcasting, Global Public Health Funding

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Massachusetts Ed Markey
    Washington (July 17, 2025) – Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), a member of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, today issued the following statement after Senate Republicans passed a rescissions package that claws back more than $9 billion in congressionally appropriated funding, including over $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and $500 million from global public health programs. Senator Markey spoke on the Senate floor in support of his amendment that would have protected children’s educational programming from GOP cuts. Republicans defeated the amendment.
    “In the middle of the night, Republicans once again bent the knee to their wannabe King Donald, rubberstamping his cruel and callous cuts while robbing kids and communities of free, high quality public programming.
    “Republicans are making a Clifford-sized mistake by choosing Donald Trump and multi-billionaires over Daniel Tiger and Masterpiece Theater. By eliminating public media funding, Republicans are silencing rural broadcasters. They are stripping communities of essential emergency alert infrastructure. They are taking away trusted educational programming from millions of children. And by gutting global public health programs, they’re abandoning vulnerable populations around the world.
    “The consequences of this reckless package will be felt for years to come. But I am committed to ensuring that characters like Arthur and Molly of Denali can continue to educate our children, and that public radio and television stations can continue to connect and protect people in every community across America.”

    STATEMENT OF INCOME

    Net Interest Income

    Net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $30.1 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 8.6% from the prior quarter and an increase of $5.4 million or 22.1% from the second quarter of 2024. The increase from the prior quarter was due to a $1.7 million increase in interest income, which included $0.7 million of nonaccrual interest recognized on loans that were fully satisfied through a foreclosure, and a $0.7 million decrease in interest expense, resulting from a 19 basis point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily driven by a 14 basis point decrease in the cost of total deposits.

    Net Interest Margin

    Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.94%, compared to 4.61% for the prior quarter and 4.48% in the second quarter of 2024. The 33 basis point increase in net interest margin from the prior quarter was primarily due to a higher average yield on loans, which included the effect of an 11 basis point increase in net interest margin due to nonaccrual interest recognized on loans that were fully satisfied through foreclosure, and a decrease in the cost of total funding sources. The yield on interest-earning assets was 6.89% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 6.70% for the prior quarter, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.95% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3.14% in the prior quarter. The cost of total deposits was 2.08% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2.22% in the prior quarter. The cost of core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits, was 1.94% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 1.99% in the prior quarter and 2.28% for the second quarter of 2024. The spot rate for total deposits was 2.04% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 2.11% at March 31, 2025.

    Provision for Credit Losses

    Provision expense for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.3 million, compared to $0.3 million in the prior quarter and $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The provision expense for loans HFI for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.7 million, primarily reflecting a $1.1 million increase in the specific reserve for a nonaccrual loan, as well as quarterly adjustments to CECL model inputs stemming from changes in loan risk ratings and a weakening economic outlook for Southern California. This was offset by a $0.4 million reversal for unfunded commitments due to increased line of credit utilization that resulted in lower unfunded commitment balances. For more details, please refer to the “Asset Quality” section below.

    Noninterest Income

    Noninterest income was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1.6 million in the prior quarter and $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $9.5 million with a 10.01% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $523 thousand, compared with $8.3 million with a 10.86% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $469 thousand in the prior quarter.

    Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense was $15.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $14.1 million in the prior quarter and $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in noninterest expense from the prior quarter is primarily due to higher compensation and benefits costs from continued hiring, including a team of bankers in Montecito, as well as elevated professional services expenses related to expanded loan portfolio reviews performed during the quarter as we proactively manage credit risk and the transition to a new Chief Credit Officer. The efficiency ratio was 49.27% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 47.90% in the prior quarter and 49.46% in the second quarter of 2024. The slight increase in the efficiency ratio from the prior quarter was due to the increase in noninterest expense.

    The Company remains committed to making investments in the business, including technology, marketing, and staffing. Inflationary pressures and low unemployment continue to have an impact on rising wages as well as increased costs related to third party service providers, which we proactively monitor and manage.

    Provision for Income Tax Expense

    Provision for income tax expense was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $4.4 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 29.7%, compared to 29.5% in the prior quarter and 29.5% in the second quarter of 2024.

    STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

    As of June 30, 2025, total assets were $2.45 billion, a decrease of $28.0 million since March 31, 2025. The decrease in assets from the prior quarter was primarily due to lower cash and due from banks, partially offset by higher investment securities and loans receivable. Our total cash and due from banks decreased to $140.6 million as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of $77.9 million or 35.6% since March 31, 2025, primarily due to purchases of investment securities and a decrease in brokered deposits and borrowings. Investment securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) were $188.8 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $32.5 million or 20.8% since March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of new securities purchased. As of June 30, 2025, the net unrealized loss on the AFS investment securities portfolio, which is comprised mostly of US Treasury and Government Agency debt, was $9.0 million (pre-tax) compared to a loss of $10.1 million (pre-tax) as of March 31, 2025. The average duration of the Bank’s AFS portfolio is 3.9 years. The Company has no held-to-maturity securities. Loans HFI totaled $2.08 billion as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $2.4 million or 0.1% since March 31, 2025, primarily due to growth in investor owned commercial real estate (“CRE”) and SBA loans, partially offset by decreased construction and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loan balances.

    Total deposits were $2.16 billion as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of $29.2 million since March 31, 2025. During the quarter, core deposits increased by $22.0 million, which was driven by a $19.6 million increase in interest-bearing core deposits (including balances in the IntraFi ICS and CDARS programs) and a $2.4 million increase in noninterest-bearing core deposits. The deposit mix has continued to shift due to short-term interest rates remaining elevated compared to recent years. Noninterest-bearing deposits represent 29.0% of total core deposits. Offsetting the increase to total deposits from core deposits, brokered deposits decreased by $51.2 million. Uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts, represent 50.6% of total deposits as of June 30, 2025.

    As of June 30, 2025, total available liquidity was $2.1 billion or 194.5% of uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts. Total available liquidity is comprised of $321 million of on-balance sheet liquidity (cash and investment securities) and $1.8 billion of unused borrowing capacity.

    Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”)

    As of June 30, 2025, the allowance for loan losses was $28.2 million or 1.35% of loans HFI, compared to $26.4 million or 1.27% of loans HFI as of March 31, 2025. The increase in the coverage ratio from March 31, 2025 is due primarily to a $1.1 million increase in the specific reserve for a nonaccrual loan, as well as quarterly adjustments to CECL model inputs stemming from changes in loan risk ratings and a weakening economic outlook for Southern California. The Company continues to have strong credit metrics and its nonperforming assets are 0.66% of total assets as of June 30, 2025 compared to 0.63% as of March 31, 2025. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $0.9 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $1.3 million as of March 31, 2025. The decrease in the reserve for unfunded commitments was due to lower unfunded commitment balances (driven by higher credit line usage). Given the credit quality of the loan portfolio, management believes we are sufficiently reserved.

    At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, there were no doubtful credits and classified assets were $36.2 million and $27.8 million, respectively. Total classified assets consisted of 26 loans as of June 30, 2025, which included 17 loans totaling $22.5 million secured by real estate with total specific reserves of $1.1 million and a weighted average LTV of 56.6%. The remaining 9 loans were $13.7 million of commercial and industrial loans, one of which was an unsecured loan on nonaccrual status with a carrying value of $1.5 million and a specific reserve of $1.0 million (the loan is recorded net of a $1.1 million partial charge off recorded in the first quarter of 2025).

    The Bank’s loan portfolio does include assets that are in the affected areas of Los Angeles devastated by wildfires. Of these loans, two relationships with loan balances totaling $34.1 million have been placed on payment deferral.  However, based on assessments performed to date, management does not believe there is a material impact to the financial statements.

    Capital Ratios (2)

    The Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of the levels established for “well capitalized” institutions and are as follows:

      June 30, 2025 (2) March 31, 2025

    The following tables present a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures for: efficiency ratio, pretax pre-provision net revenue, average tangible common equity, and return on average tangible common equity. We believe the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to assess our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations and to assist investors in evaluating our financial results relative to our peers. These non-GAAP financial measures complement our GAAP reporting and are presented below to provide investors and others with information that we use to manage the business each period. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute of the GAAP measures.

    LA JOLLA, Calif., July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Private Bancorp of America, Inc. (OTCQX: PBAM), (“Company”) and CalPrivate Bank (“Bank”) announced unaudited financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company reported net income of $10.4 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $10.6 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, in the prior quarter, and $7.8 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024.

    Rick Sowers, President and CEO of the Company and the Bank stated, “Earnings continue to be strong as a result of improvement in our deposit base and funding costs as well as an industry leading net interest margin.  Although 2025 has been a slower year for loan growth due to economic uncertainty and what we view as unreasonable market loan pricing, we are adding new Relationships across our footprint by delivering Distinctively Different Service and providing Clients with customized Solutions that meet their individual needs. We have onboarded 8 new Relationship focused Team Members this quarter, with more in the pipeline.  We are strong believers in the Southern California market, as demonstrated by our new Santa Barbara County office in Montecito, which we anticipate opening in the third quarter.”

    STATEMENT OF INCOME

    Net Interest Income

    Net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $30.1 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 8.6% from the prior quarter and an increase of $5.4 million or 22.1% from the second quarter of 2024. The increase from the prior quarter was due to a $1.7 million increase in interest income, which included $0.7 million of nonaccrual interest recognized on loans that were fully satisfied through a foreclosure, and a $0.7 million decrease in interest expense, resulting from a 19 basis point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily driven by a 14 basis point decrease in the cost of total deposits.

    Net Interest Margin

    Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.94%, compared to 4.61% for the prior quarter and 4.48% in the second quarter of 2024. The 33 basis point increase in net interest margin from the prior quarter was primarily due to a higher average yield on loans, which included the effect of an 11 basis point increase in net interest margin due to nonaccrual interest recognized on loans that were fully satisfied through foreclosure, and a decrease in the cost of total funding sources. The yield on interest-earning assets was 6.89% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 6.70% for the prior quarter, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.95% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3.14% in the prior quarter. The cost of total deposits was 2.08% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2.22% in the prior quarter. The cost of core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits, was 1.94% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 1.99% in the prior quarter and 2.28% for the second quarter of 2024. The spot rate for total deposits was 2.04% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 2.11% at March 31, 2025.

    Provision for Credit Losses

    Provision expense for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.3 million, compared to $0.3 million in the prior quarter and $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The provision expense for loans HFI for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.7 million, primarily reflecting a $1.1 million increase in the specific reserve for a nonaccrual loan, as well as quarterly adjustments to CECL model inputs stemming from changes in loan risk ratings and a weakening economic outlook for Southern California. This was offset by a $0.4 million reversal for unfunded commitments due to increased line of credit utilization that resulted in lower unfunded commitment balances. For more details, please refer to the “Asset Quality” section below.

    Noninterest Income

    Noninterest income was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1.6 million in the prior quarter and $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $9.5 million with a 10.01% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $523 thousand, compared with $8.3 million with a 10.86% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $469 thousand in the prior quarter.

    Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense was $15.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $14.1 million in the prior quarter and $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in noninterest expense from the prior quarter is primarily due to higher compensation and benefits costs from continued hiring, including a team of bankers in Montecito, as well as elevated professional services expenses related to expanded loan portfolio reviews performed during the quarter as we proactively manage credit risk and the transition to a new Chief Credit Officer. The efficiency ratio was 49.27% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 47.90% in the prior quarter and 49.46% in the second quarter of 2024. The slight increase in the efficiency ratio from the prior quarter was due to the increase in noninterest expense.

    The Company remains committed to making investments in the business, including technology, marketing, and staffing. Inflationary pressures and low unemployment continue to have an impact on rising wages as well as increased costs related to third party service providers, which we proactively monitor and manage.

    Provision for Income Tax Expense

    Provision for income tax expense was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $4.4 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 29.7%, compared to 29.5% in the prior quarter and 29.5% in the second quarter of 2024.

    STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

    As of June 30, 2025, total assets were $2.45 billion, a decrease of $28.0 million since March 31, 2025. The decrease in assets from the prior quarter was primarily due to lower cash and due from banks, partially offset by higher investment securities and loans receivable. Our total cash and due from banks decreased to $140.6 million as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of $77.9 million or 35.6% since March 31, 2025, primarily due to purchases of investment securities and a decrease in brokered deposits and borrowings. Investment securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) were $188.8 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $32.5 million or 20.8% since March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of new securities purchased. As of June 30, 2025, the net unrealized loss on the AFS investment securities portfolio, which is comprised mostly of US Treasury and Government Agency debt, was $9.0 million (pre-tax) compared to a loss of $10.1 million (pre-tax) as of March 31, 2025. The average duration of the Bank’s AFS portfolio is 3.9 years. The Company has no held-to-maturity securities. Loans HFI totaled $2.08 billion as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $2.4 million or 0.1% since March 31, 2025, primarily due to growth in investor owned commercial real estate (“CRE”) and SBA loans, partially offset by decreased construction and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loan balances.

    Total deposits were $2.16 billion as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of $29.2 million since March 31, 2025. During the quarter, core deposits increased by $22.0 million, which was driven by a $19.6 million increase in interest-bearing core deposits (including balances in the IntraFi ICS and CDARS programs) and a $2.4 million increase in noninterest-bearing core deposits. The deposit mix has continued to shift due to short-term interest rates remaining elevated compared to recent years. Noninterest-bearing deposits represent 29.0% of total core deposits. Offsetting the increase to total deposits from core deposits, brokered deposits decreased by $51.2 million. Uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts, represent 50.6% of total deposits as of June 30, 2025.

    As of June 30, 2025, total available liquidity was $2.1 billion or 194.5% of uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts. Total available liquidity is comprised of $321 million of on-balance sheet liquidity (cash and investment securities) and $1.8 billion of unused borrowing capacity.

    Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”)

    As of June 30, 2025, the allowance for loan losses was $28.2 million or 1.35% of loans HFI, compared to $26.4 million or 1.27% of loans HFI as of March 31, 2025. The increase in the coverage ratio from March 31, 2025 is due primarily to a $1.1 million increase in the specific reserve for a nonaccrual loan, as well as quarterly adjustments to CECL model inputs stemming from changes in loan risk ratings and a weakening economic outlook for Southern California. The Company continues to have strong credit metrics and its nonperforming assets are 0.66% of total assets as of June 30, 2025 compared to 0.63% as of March 31, 2025. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $0.9 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $1.3 million as of March 31, 2025. The decrease in the reserve for unfunded commitments was due to lower unfunded commitment balances (driven by higher credit line usage). Given the credit quality of the loan portfolio, management believes we are sufficiently reserved.

    At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, there were no doubtful credits and classified assets were $36.2 million and $27.8 million, respectively. Total classified assets consisted of 26 loans as of June 30, 2025, which included 17 loans totaling $22.5 million secured by real estate with total specific reserves of $1.1 million and a weighted average LTV of 56.6%. The remaining 9 loans were $13.7 million of commercial and industrial loans, one of which was an unsecured loan on nonaccrual status with a carrying value of $1.5 million and a specific reserve of $1.0 million (the loan is recorded net of a $1.1 million partial charge off recorded in the first quarter of 2025).

    The Bank’s loan portfolio does include assets that are in the affected areas of Los Angeles devastated by wildfires. Of these loans, two relationships with loan balances totaling $34.1 million have been placed on payment deferral.  However, based on assessments performed to date, management does not believe there is a material impact to the financial statements.

  • MIL-OSI: New Survey Shows Shoppers Are Showing Up This Holiday Season — Even Amid Tariffs and Turmoil

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOSTON, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Will tariffs deter holiday shoppers this year? Not according to a new consumer holiday shopping report from Salsify, the platform empowering brand manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to win on the digital shelf. The company released its inaugural 2025 Consumer Holiday Shopping Report today and the message is clear: even amid ongoing economic and political turbulence, shoppers are showing up this season — but they’re skipping the old playbook. From AI-curated gift guides and the digital takeover of Black Friday to the surprising rise of alcohol gifting and the decline of social media’s shopping influence, consumers are rewriting the rules of the holiday season.

    In fact, spreading good cheer seems to be on everyone’s list with 75% of consumers saying they’ll spend the same or more on gifts this year, with Gen Z and millennials leading the charge. But it’s not just about how much they spend. It’s about how, why, and where they do it.

    “Shoppers aren’t letting inflation, tariffs, or global turmoil steal their holiday spirit,” said Dom Scarlett (she/her), Research Director at Salsify. “Black Friday is thriving, but not in-store. Gift discovery is shifting from social to search, video, and even AI. And more than ever, consumers are choosing brands that reflect who they are, not just what they want.”

    Black Friday Just Swiped Cyber Monday’s Crown

    Black Friday is back, and now it’s digital. A record 73% of shoppers plan to participate this year, outpacing Cyber Monday’s 61%. Only 11% say they’ll shop Black Friday exclusively in stores, while nearly one in four will toggle between in-person and online deals. Millennials (46%) and Gen X (42%) are fueling the shift toward mobile-first shopping from the couch.

    Retailer Insight: Cyber Monday is no longer the peak. Retailers should treat Black Friday as the digital centerpiece and focus on app-based early access, flash sales, and omnichannel execution.

    AI Gift Guides Are the New Holiday Hero

    Half of all shoppers say AI tools, like chatbots and curated gift suggestions, would improve their holiday experience. Thirteen percent of millennials and 11% of Gen Z are already using AI to shop, making it more influential than blogs, podcasts, or print ads. For younger consumers, AI is more than a novelty, it’s expected.

    Sixty-three percent of millennials and 56% of Gen Z believe AI makes shopping easier and more personalized. Gen Z shoppers are also more likely to use voice assistants or chatbots for gift-finding help.

    Retailer Insight: Shoppers are asking AI what to buy. To show up in those results, brands must optimize product data for AI-powered search and recommendation engines.

    From TikTok to TV: Shoppers Are Changing the Channel

    Social media’s role in holiday discovery is fading. This year, only 28% of shoppers say it’s their go-to channel for finding gifts, down from 35% in 2024. In contrast, search engines (58%), online marketplaces (48%), and retailer websites (43%) now dominate the discovery landscape. Even traditional formats like TV and streaming video ads are resonating, influencing 12% of Gen X and 10% of millennials — outpacing blogs (7%) and podcasts (4%).

    TikTok and Instagram now rank lower than marketplace ads (38%) and email campaigns (34%) in their influence on gift discovery.

    Retailer Insight: Discovery is fragmenting. Shoppers are searching, streaming, and scrolling — but not necessarily where brands expect them to. Rebalance investments accordingly – return on retail media investments are dependent on quality product content.

    Boozy Gifts Take the Lead as Electronics Surge Stateside
    Alcohol is having a moment. This season, 36% of shoppers plan to gift beer, wine, or spirits, surpassing toys at 33%, pet products at 16%, and home improvement items at 19%. The trend is especially strong in the UK, where 46% plan to gift alcohol, compared to 25% in the U.S.

    Gen X leads the charge, followed by millennials. Domestic spirits and ready-to-drink cocktails are especially popular. With tariffs expected on imported liquor, prices may rise or availability may shrink by December.

    Fashion and apparel (54%), beauty and personal care (47%), and electronics (42%) remain among the top categories. But regional preferences stand out. U.S. shoppers are nearly twice as likely as their U.K. counterparts to gift electronics, while U.K. consumers favor food and drink.

    Retailer Insight: Booze has gone from bar cart to gift list. With global pricing pressures looming, now is the time to secure domestic supply and use creative messaging and bundling. Electronics brands should lean into U.S. demand, while U.K. retailers can win with premium food and beverage offerings.

    Shoppers Are Putting Their Money Where Their Values Are

    More than ever, shoppers are prioritizing meaning over markdowns. Sixty-one percent of consumers say they would pay more for holiday gifts from brands that reflect their values. That figure spikes to 75% for Gen Z, but the shift spans generations, even 50% of boomers say they’re willing to spend more on mission-aligned brands.

    Top value drivers include sustainability, ethical sourcing, social impact, and transparency.

  • MIL-OSI: Hyperscale Data Announces Preliminary Q2 2025 Revenue of $25.8 Million, Up 45% Year-over-Year

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LAS VEGAS, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced preliminary revenue of $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, a 45% increase compared to $17.8 million in the prior-year period. Preliminary revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $50.8 million. The Company reaffirms the revenue guidance for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 of $125 to $135 million.

    Strategic Business Highlights and Growth Drivers:

    • Accelerating Revenue Momentum – Growth in the second quarter was led by commercial lending and trading activity through Ault Lending, LLC, greater demand for TurnOnGreen, Inc.’s electronic power solutions and improved performance by the hotel assets held by Ault Global Real Estate Equities, Inc.
    • Strengthened Balance Sheet – The Company has reduced debt by over $20 million year-to-date, enhancing liquidity as Hyperscale Data prepares to advance the development of its 617,000 square-foot facility in Michigan that the Company believes will become a premier artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center.
    • High-Margin Software Expansion – Ongoing development of blockchain infrastructure, tokenization platforms and decentralized applications is anticipated to generate recurring, high-margin revenue beginning in late 2025.
    • Scaling Digital Asset Mining Infrastructure – Sentinum, Inc. (“Sentinum”) recently entered a hosting agreement with a Montana-based service provider to expand mining operations and infrastructure access.
    • Fintech Recovery Underway – Fintech platforms rebounded in the second quarter of 2025 after a challenging 2024, with new AI-powered features under development for future lending and trading applications.
    • Reconsolidation of Gresham Worldwide – Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“Gresham Worldwide”) is expected to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings as a subsidiary of the Company by October 1, 2025, at which point Hyperscale Data anticipates reconsolidating its financial results. Gresham Worldwide is projected to contribute approximately $10 million of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025. If the reconsolidation of Gresham Worldwide had occurred on January 1, 2025, on a pro forma basis, a non-GAAP financial measure, this reconsolidation would have been expected to increase the Company’s annualized revenue for 2025 by approximately $40 million.

    Assuming that the anticipated reconsolidation occurs on or before October 1, 2025, Hyperscale Data expects its full-year 2025 GAAP basis revenue guidance to be within the range of $125 million to $135 million. The table below presents a non-GAAP pro forma view of Hyperscale Data’s potential 2025 revenue, assuming Gresham had been consolidated as of January 1, 2025:

    Revenue Guidance Low End High End
    Revenue guidance $ 115,000,000 $ 125,000,000
    Pro forma annualized contribution from Gresham Worldwide   40,000,000   40,000,000
    Pro forma total revenue $ 155,000,000 $ 165,000,000
             

    “This quarter reflects the importance of strategic focus,” said William B. Horne, CEO of Hyperscale Data. “We are growing revenue, reducing debt and building a foundation for scalable, high-margin software to become a core pillar of our business. Gresham Worldwide’s return is expected to significantly enhance our revenue profile going forward.”

    The revenue figures reported are preliminary and unaudited. Final results will be included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 20, 2025, which is expected to be filed with the SEC on or before the required deadline.

    About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

    Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”), is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

    Hyperscale Data currently expects to divest itself of ACG (the “Divestiture”) on or about December 31, 2025, though there can be no assurance that the Divestiture will be completed during 2025. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would solely be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, though it may at that time continue to operate in the digital asset space as described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, social gaming platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

    On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

    SECOND QUARTER 2025 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2025

    For the second quarter of 2025, net income available to common stockholders was $73.0 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, compared to $42.7 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.

    Provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 was $15.0 million, compared to $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. The $15.0 million provision for credit losses recorded in the second quarter of 2025 resulted primarily from an increase in total loans held for investment (“LHI”) and $13.0 million in net charge-offs, partially offset by a decrease in criticized loans.

    Net interest income was $253.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $236.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases in average earning assets and earning asset yields, a decrease in average short-term borrowings and the impact of one additional day in the second quarter. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 3.35%, an increase of 16 basis points from the first quarter of 2025. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields decreased 4 basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and LHI, mortgage finance, yields increased 49 basis points from the first quarter of 2025. Total cost of deposits was 2.65% for the second quarter of 2025, an 11 basis point decrease from the first quarter of 2025.

    Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $9.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to increases in investment banking and advisory fees and trading income, partially offset by a $1.9 million loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities recognized during the second quarter of 2025.

    Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $12.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to decreases in salaries and benefits, related to the effect of seasonal payroll expenses that peak in the first quarter, and legal and professional expense, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expense.

    SECOND QUARTER 2025 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2024

    Net income available to common stockholders was $73.0 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $37.4 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

    The second quarter of 2025 included a $15.0 million provision for credit losses, reflecting an increase in total LHI and $13.0 million in net charge-offs, partially offset by a decline in criticized loans, compared to a $20.0 million provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024.

    Net interest income increased to $253.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $216.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in average earning assets and a decrease in funding costs, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest margin increased 34 basis points to 3.35% for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the second quarter of 2024. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields decreased 44 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024 and LHI, mortgage finance yields increased 48 basis points from the second quarter of 2024. Total cost of deposits decreased 34 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024.

    Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $3.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts, trading income and other non-interest income, partially offset by the loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities mentioned above.

    Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 increased $1.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and communications and technology expense, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense.

    CREDIT QUALITY

    Net charge-offs of $13.0 million were recorded during the second quarter of 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $9.8 million and $12.0 million during the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024, respectively. Criticized loans totaled $637.5 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $762.9 million at March 31, 2025 and $859.7 million at June 30, 2024. Non-accrual LHI totaled $113.6 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $93.6 million at March 31, 2025 and $85.0 million at June 30, 2024. The ratio of non-accrual LHI to total LHI for the second quarter of 2025 was 0.47%, compared to 0.42% for the first quarter of 2025 and 0.39% for the second quarter of 2024. The ratio of total allowance for credit losses to total LHI was 1.40% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.48% and 1.44% at March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

    REGULATORY RATIOS AND CAPITAL

    All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of “well capitalized” requirements as of June 30, 2025. CET1, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage ratios were 11.4%, 12.9%, 15.3% and 11.8%, respectively, at June 30, 2025, compared to 11.6%, 13.1%, 15.6% and 11.8%, respectively, at March 31, 2025 and 11.6%, 13.1%, 15.7% and 12.2%, respectively, at June 30, 2024.

    GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

    The following items are non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted non-interest income, adjusted non-interest expense, adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”), adjusted diluted earnings/(loss) per common share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted non-interest income to average earning assets and adjusted non-interest expense to average earning assets. These are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The table below provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

    These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for certain items, listed below, that management believes are non-operating in nature and not representative of its actual operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. to assist management and investors in evaluating operating results, financial strength, business performance and capital position. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. As such, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of operating results or capital position as reported under GAAP.

    SECOND QUARTER 2025 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2025

    For the second quarter of 2025, net income available to common stockholders was $73.0 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, compared to $42.7 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.

    Provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 was $15.0 million, compared to $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. The $15.0 million provision for credit losses recorded in the second quarter of 2025 resulted primarily from an increase in total loans held for investment (“LHI”) and $13.0 million in net charge-offs, partially offset by a decrease in criticized loans.

    Net interest income was $253.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $236.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases in average earning assets and earning asset yields, a decrease in average short-term borrowings and the impact of one additional day in the second quarter. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 3.35%, an increase of 16 basis points from the first quarter of 2025. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields decreased 4 basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and LHI, mortgage finance, yields increased 49 basis points from the first quarter of 2025. Total cost of deposits was 2.65% for the second quarter of 2025, an 11 basis point decrease from the first quarter of 2025.

    Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $9.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to increases in investment banking and advisory fees and trading income, partially offset by a $1.9 million loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities recognized during the second quarter of 2025.

    Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $12.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to decreases in salaries and benefits, related to the effect of seasonal payroll expenses that peak in the first quarter, and legal and professional expense, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expense.

    SECOND QUARTER 2025 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2024

    Net income available to common stockholders was $73.0 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $37.4 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

    The second quarter of 2025 included a $15.0 million provision for credit losses, reflecting an increase in total LHI and $13.0 million in net charge-offs, partially offset by a decline in criticized loans, compared to a $20.0 million provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024.

    Net interest income increased to $253.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $216.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in average earning assets and a decrease in funding costs, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest margin increased 34 basis points to 3.35% for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the second quarter of 2024. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields decreased 44 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024 and LHI, mortgage finance yields increased 48 basis points from the second quarter of 2024. Total cost of deposits decreased 34 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024.

    Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $3.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts, trading income and other non-interest income, partially offset by the loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities mentioned above.

    Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 increased $1.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and communications and technology expense, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense.

    CREDIT QUALITY

    Net charge-offs of $13.0 million were recorded during the second quarter of 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $9.8 million and $12.0 million during the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024, respectively. Criticized loans totaled $637.5 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $762.9 million at March 31, 2025 and $859.7 million at June 30, 2024.

The ratio of non-accrual LHI to total LHI for the second quarter of 2025 was 0.47%, compared to 0.42% for the first quarter of 2025 and 0.39% for the second quarter of 2024. The ratio of total allowance for credit losses to total LHI was 1.40% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.48% and 1.44% at March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

    REGULATORY RATIOS AND CAPITAL

    All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of “well capitalized” requirements as of June 30, 2025. CET1, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage ratios were 11.4%, 12.9%, 15.3% and 11.8%, respectively, at June 30, 2025, compared to 11.6%, 13.1%, 15.6% and 11.8%, respectively, at March 31, 2025 and 11.6%, 13.1%, 15.7% and 12.2%, respectively, at June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025, our ratio of tangible common equity to total tangible assets was 10.1%, compared to 10.0% at March 31, 2025 and 9.6% at June 30, 2024.

    GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

    The following items are non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted non-interest income, adjusted non-interest expense, adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”), adjusted diluted earnings/(loss) per common share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted non-interest income to average earning assets and adjusted non-interest expense to average earning assets. These are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The table below provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

    These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for certain items, listed below, that management believes are non-operating in nature and not representative of its actual operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. to assist management and investors in evaluating operating results, financial strength, business performance and capital position. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. As such, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of operating results or capital position as reported under GAAP.

  • MIL-OSI: More than 1 in 4 Canadians (27%) Say They Can’t Pay All Their Bills at a Time When Millions Face Mortgage Rate Increases – TransUnion Study  

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • 44% of Canadians surveyed say they plan to cut discretionary spending.
    • Among Canadians who said they don’t anticipate being able to pay all their bills and loans in full, 68% said it’s their credit card payments they won’t be able to make.
    • While 46% of Canadians said they were targeted by fraud in the last three months, 37% reported taking no action in response to cybersecurity concerns.
    • Over half (53%) of Gen X Canadians feel their financial situation is worse than planned, compared to only 30% of Gen Z.

    TORONTO, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Canadians continue to navigate economic uncertainty, many are adjusting their financial behaviours in response to affordability pressures and rising costs. According to TransUnion’s (NYSE: TRU) Q2 2025 Canada Consumer Pulse Study1, 51% of Canadians surveyed had a recession in their top three household financial concerns over the next six months, and nearly half of all surveyed (44%) plan to reduce discretionary spending in the next three months. Canadians are also shifting to thriftier shopping options – 63% said they look for sales and discounts more frequently, 40% shop more frequently at more affordable retailers, and 31% use more coupons. These changes come at a time when over a quarter (27%) of Canadians say they won’t be able to pay all their current bills and loans in full and millions of Canadians’ mortgage payments face potential repayment increases.

    Among Canadians who said they won’t be able to pay of their bills, 68% reported they won’t be able to pay off their total credit card payments. This could be due to these consumers prioritizing other credit payments, like mortgages. Despite the overall inflation rate returning to the Bank of Canada’s target, 96% of Canadians remain concerned about the current rate of inflation and the vast majority (83%) of all surveyed Canadian consumers had inflation in their top three household financial concerns over the next six months.

    “Canadians are navigating a challenging financial landscape, with many adjusting their spending and prioritizing bill payments in response to rising costs and economic uncertainty,” said Matt Fabian, director of financial services research and consulting at TransUnion Canada. “Our latest Consumer Pulse data shows that affordability concerns are top of mind, and many are taking proactive steps to stay financially resilient.”

    Mortgage Renewal Stress Drives Payment Shock and Shifts in Financial Priorities
    Additional research from TransUnion Canada shows that mortgage renewal stress is a key factor contributing to financial strain. As Canadians who purchased homes during the COVID-19 pandemic – when interest rates were at historic lows – begin renewing their mortgages, many are facing significantly higher payments, resulting in payment shock. This financial pressure is particularly evident among Gen X Canadians, with over half (53%) saying in the latest Consumer Pulse Study that their financial situation is worse than planned, the highest by far than any other generation surveyed.

    According to The Bank of Canada’s Financial Stability Report – 2025, around 60% of Canadians’ mortgages are up for renewal in 2025 or 2026. TransUnion’s analysis shows that many of those who purchased homes during the COVID-19 pandemic – when interest rates were at historic lows – are now facing higher interest rates as they begin renewing their mortgages. The Consumer Pulse data suggests that this is leading to payment shock, a significant and often expected increase in debt payments.

    TransUnion analysis shows that since March 2022, over two million consumers have experienced an increase in monthly mortgage payments, with the average monthly mortgage payment for these consumers increasing by 25% in the last three years from $1,527 in March 2022 to $1,908 in March 2025.

    Consumers whose monthly mortgage payments have increased by 25% or more are also accumulating greater credit card debt – more than double the rate of those who did not have an increase in their mortgage payment. Overall, Canadians are prioritizing making mortgage payments over other credit obligations, which is leading to higher delinquencies.

    Uncertainty and continued high interest rates have most likely negatively impacted mortgage demand. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of Canadians indicated in the latest Consumer Pulse Study that they are not considering purchasing a home in the next year. This may point to many consumers may be continuing to hold out for interest rate relief from the Bank of Canada.

    “We’re at a critical moment where many Canadians who took on mortgages during the pandemic—when interest rates were at historic lows—are now facing rising payments and affordability pressures,” said Fabian. “With nearly CA$1.8 trillion in outstanding mortgage balances and 60% of mortgage holders up for renewal by 2026, millions could experience payment shock. Yet, despite these challenges, Canadians continue to demonstrate financial resilience—adapting their spending habits, prioritizing bill payments, and taking steps to help recession-proof their finances.”

    Consumers Wary of Carrying Debt and Shift Shopping Habits as Economic Volatility Persists
    Economic volatility has remained top of mind for many Canadians as over half (51%) in the Q2 2025 Consumer Pulse Study cite a recession as one of their top three financial concerns in the next six months. This uncertainty has continued to limit credit participation among Canadians of all generations, with nearly a third (30%) of all surveyed saying they are uncomfortable with owning credit products.

    In effort to balance their household budgets and remain financially resilient, 74% of Canadians who said we’re currently in a recession or will be in one by the end of Q2 reported they plan on reducing their spending in order to prepare for one. Among all Canadians surveyed, many said they adjusted their shopping habits in the last three months, including:

    • Looking more frequently for sales and discounts (63%)
    • Buying more generic or store brands (41%)
    • Shopping more frequently at affordable retailers (40%)
    • Shopping at retailers with loyalty programs more often (33%)
    • Using more coupons (31%)
    • Taking advantage of credit card offers for special discounts more often (16%)

    To curb spending, Canadians are making various cutbacks, such as digital subscriptions, with 25% reporting they cancelled a subscription or membership in the past three months.

    Fraud Awareness Remains High, but Nearly 4 in 10 Canadians are Taking No Action
    Canadians remain aware of fraud risks and nearly half (46%) of those TransUnion surveyed reported being targeted by email, online, phone call or text message fraud attempts in the past three months. Despite these risks, the Consumer Pulse data indicates that over a third (37%) of Canadians said they took no action in the last 60 days in response to cybersecurity concerns. Of these individuals, 44% said they did nothing because they were unsure of what actions to take.

    Press release

    Mayor of London Launches the London to Accra Campaign

    UK leading a new era of diaspora-driven growth in Ghana

    The British High Commission in Accra has officially launched the “London to Accra Economic Growth Campaign” – a bold, series of activities aimed at strengthening economic ties between the UK and Ghana, by leveraging the two countries’ greatest shared asset, the British Ghanaian diaspora. 

    The launch took place at a vibrant reception attended by the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, and the Mayor of Accra, Hon. Michael Kpakpo Allotey, alongside 100 entrepreneurs, investors, and stakeholders from the business communities both in Ghana and the UK. 

    London to Accra transcends symbolism. It is about unlocking untapped opportunities. The campaign will raise awareness of the role that the British Ghanaian diaspora plays in driving economic growth through their people-to-people connections, creativity and cultural relations between the two cities, London and Accra, and for that matter the two countries, Great Britain and Ghana. It will also highlight the range of support available to help entrepreneurs strengthen their trade and investment activities between the two capitals. 

    Kicking off with the launch, the campaign will include a series of webinars focused on doing business between the UK and Ghana, a digital storytelling series showcasing diaspora success stories, and a roadshow of diaspora-led businesses in Accra. The culmination of this bold campaign will be the inaugural Diaspora Economic Growth Summit in January 2026 in Accra. This flagship event will serve as both the grand finale and the beginning of a new tradition in diaspora economic collaboration. 

    Keith McMahon, Chargé d’Affaires of the British High Commission in Accra, set the tone at the launch saying: 

    The London to Accra campaign is a practical approach to supporting the UK’s growth mission. Our two capitals are not just linked by culture. These connections are increasingly economic, with entrepreneurs building businesses that bridge both capitals and create prosperity in both nations. By strengthening these connections, we are creating new pathways for investment and economic growth that benefit citizens in both countries.

    The launch event featured a panel discussion with key figures including Ghana’s Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Otchere Darko; Pamela Bassah, Head of Diaspora Relations and Strategic Partnerships at the British High Commission; Dr. Vanessa Apea; CEO of Accra London Health Centre; Giselle Agyare, Country Director of the UK Department for Business and Trade in Ghana; and Shirgade Laryea from the UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce. The discussion highlighted the wide range of support available through initiatives such as Growth Gateway. 

    The campaign follows the success of the annual Diaspora New Year Networking Mixer, which began in January 2023 and has become a cornerstone event for the British Ghanaian community. The 2025 edition attracted over 500 stakeholders from the UK-Ghana diaspora, business community, and Government of Ghana, demonstrating the strong appetite for greater engagement between the two countries.

    BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — The 3rd China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) opened in Beijing on Wednesday, with global business leaders and officials unanimously calling for stronger supply chains through open markets, innovation and multilateral cooperation.

    “This event is not just a trade show. It is a forest of connections between economies, industries and people,” said John Denton, secretary general of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), in his speech. “We are here to promote our shared prosperity.”

    His words reflected a broad consensus among participants: building trust and deepening integration – from AI innovation to global manufacturing cooperation – are essential to effectively address growing global uncertainties.

    CISCE 2025, held from July 16 to 20, brought together more than 650 companies and institutions from 75 countries, regions and international organizations, as well as over 500 of their upstream and downstream partners.

    Foreign exhibitors accounted for 35 percent of the total number of participants, indicating sustainable business interest despite the strengthening geopolitical and economic headwinds.

    Organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), the event is the world’s first national-level exhibition dedicated exclusively to supply chains.

    Ahead of the event, Wang Yiwei, director of the Institute of International Affairs at Renmin University of China, said the active participation of multinational companies reflects “the continuing momentum and irreversibility of globalization.”

    He noted that China, with the world’s most complete and largest industrial system, is playing an increasingly important role in driving global development through digital and green transformation and is increasingly seen as a laboratory for innovation.

    China’s expanding role in global innovation ecosystems, especially in AI, was highlighted by US tech giant Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who spoke at CISCE for the first time.

    Calling China’s supply chain a “phenomenon,” he highlighted the country’s rapidly advancing AI technologies and their global reach. “China’s open-source AI is a catalyst for global progress,” he said, as it enables greater access to innovation and supports international cooperation on standards and safeguards.

    In an interview on the sidelines of the show, Jensen Huang reiterated Nvidia’s long-term commitment to the Chinese market. “If you want to stay in the game, you have to invest,” he said. “The market is moving so fast and the competition is so intense – we have to keep growing.”

    He added that China’s tech market is growing rapidly and remains a key focus for the company, calling it “a very important market with dynamic, innovative customers.”

    The exhibition comes as China has announced economic growth of 5.3 percent in the first half of 2025, despite growing challenges and external uncertainties.

    “China is entering a new cycle of market opportunities,” Lin Chunmei, general manager of Corning Greater China, told Xinhua. “With the rise of AI and cloud computing technologies, the AI infrastructure market is growing faster than ever.”

    She noted that China’s stable and resilient economy, along with a stable and open business environment, continues to support enterprise growth. “We have seen consistent improvements in China’s business environment over the past decades,” she added.

    At the opening ceremony, CCPIT and global business representatives launched a joint initiative calling for supply chain stability and security, digital and green transformation, and stronger international cooperation.

    CCPIT Chairman Ren Hongbin said the expo has become a platform for China’s high-level opening-up, calling for joint efforts to safeguard multilateralism and build a more connected future. -0-

    Source: Mayor of London

    • Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, announces City Hall’s first-ever London-Africa business summit to be held next year
    • Sadiq is in Africa this week – he is the first ever London Mayor to lead a trade delegation to the continent to drive trade and investment and strengthen cultural links
    • Summit in London next year will bring together entrepreneurs and investors, state officials, mayors, trade groups and stock exchanges from across the African continent, to attract foreign investment to the capital and boost trade links
    • Sadiq declares that expanding ties with Africa will be key to delivering his international trade ambitions for London
    • New figures reveal that UK bilateral trade with Africa is currently worth almost £50 billion [1] and projected to be worth £62 billion by 2030

    The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has today announced that City Hall will host its first-ever London-Africa business summit next year as he revealed that the UK’s bilateral trade with the African continent is likely to reach £62 billion ($79 billion) by 2030. [2]

    The Summit will bring together entrepreneurs and investors, state officials, mayors, trade groups and stock exchanges from across the continent, with the aim of promoting London as the best global city for African businesses to expand and invest in.

    It will focus on strengthening trade and investment links both ways, and the opportunities that can be unlocked for both London and Africa via key growth sectors, including fintech, creative industries, education and sustainability.

    The announcement comes as Sadiq this week leads a trade mission to Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa to bang the drum for London as a place to invest and do business, making him the first London Mayor to do so.

    The Mayor is determined to meet the goals of his Growth Plan and has doubled down on his commitment to attract foreign direct investment to help grow London’s economy by £107 billion by 2035 and create 150,000 good jobs by 2028.

    Africa’s economic growth is expected to accelerate, with several African countries projected to rank among the top 10 fastest-growing economies globally in 2025. [3]

    The bilateral trade relationship between Africa and the UK has shown consistent growth over recent years, despite global challenges. More businesses from London expand into Africa than from any other city globally and the UK stands as one of Africa’s significant trading partners, with trade between the UK and Africa worth nearly £50 billion ($63 billion) in 2024 and UK exports up seven per cent year on year [4].

    Since 2013, London has been the leading destination city for African FDI in Europe and the US with 72 projects, and ranks as the second most popular destination globally outside Africa — behind only Dubai (202 projects) and ahead of Paris (63 projects). [5] Over the past decade, there have been a total of 71 projects recorded from Africa to London, accounting for an estimated £578 million in Capital Expenditure and creating 2,145 jobs. [6]

    Sadiq is visiting Lagos in Nigeria, Accra in Ghana, and Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa this week to build on extensive connections between the region and the capital’s growing African diaspora, and boost trade links with London. Alongside the visit, the Mayor’s growth agency London & Partners is hosting a trade delegation of 36 London-based companies that are looking to grow their business and access opportunities in Africa.   

    The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “Trade between the UK and Africa is projected to be worth £62 billion by 2030. Whether its their tech start ups or business and financial services, London is perfectly placed to benefit from Africa’s growth.

    “Today I am announcing that City Hall will host the first-ever mayoral London-Africa business summit to tap into the huge economic opportunities that a strong, mutual relationship with the continent can bring.

    “Expanding ties with Africa will be key to delivering our international trade ambitions, creating thousands of good jobs in the next five years and beyond.

    “London has a rich history with the continent through our diaspora communities. I’m proud to be the first Mayor of London to visit Africa to drive trade and investment and strengthen our cultural links as we work to build a better, more prosperous city for everyone.”

    With nearly eight per cent of Londoners being of African heritage [7] and African students studying in London accounting for four per cent of all international students, half of whom are studying at post-graduate level, [8] the Summit will be a landmark opportunity for London to build on its strong cultural links and history with the African continent.

    The Mayor is keen to tap into Africa’s successes as a growing tech hub and has already begun to establish relationships with cities leading in this space, including Lagos in Nigeria which has generated five tech ‘unicorns’ [9] – startup companies valued at over US$1 billion – and is ranked as the world’s fastest-growing tech hub by global data analysts Dealroom [10].

    Accra, the capital of Ghana has also been highlighted by Dealroom [11] as an up-and-coming business sector with a tech hub that punches above its weight in innovation startup activity, research output, and university-industry collaboration.

    Foreign Secretary David Lammy said: “London is a global city, where the world comes to do business.

    “The UK is committed to a new approach with African countries – rooted in partnership, not paternalism and built on mutual respect. By bringing together investors, innovators and decisions-makers the London-Africa Business Summit will strengthen those ties and unlock growth and prosperity.

    Laura Citron, CEO of London & Partners said: “We’re proud to be joining the Mayor on this historic visit to Africa. It’s an exciting opportunity to explore the continent’s dynamic growth sectors, as well as discovering how their innovation and ambition can inspire new approaches back home in London. With next year’s first Africa–London Summit, this trip is a pivotal moment to build lasting partnerships, unlock new opportunities, and strengthen business ties between our regions.”

    Adjoba Kyiamah, Executive Director of the UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce, said: “We welcome the Mayor’s first-ever London-Africa business summit next year, to forge deeper, mutually prosperous ties between London and Ghana.

    “As Accra continues to emerge as a vibrant tech hub, this summit will be a crucial platform to unlock new opportunities, benefiting businesses and ensuring economic prosperity in both London and Accra.

    “As the leading private sector voice of the UK-Ghana business community in Ghana, we are committed to promoting bilateral trade and investment between Ghana and the UK. We are thus encouraged by the summit’s focus on key growth sectors such as fintech, creative industries, education, and sustainability, which hold immense potential for mutual prosperity.”

  • MIL-OSI Submissions: Economy – India gains trade momentum amid tariff and global supply chain shakeup, says GlobalData

    Source: GlobalData

    In a rapidly evolving global trade landscape, India stands out with its competitive advantage stemming from relatively lower tariff rates compared to several key trading partners. With a tariff rate of 26%, as of July 2025, which might reduce to below 20% amid speculations of a trade deal with the US, India is positioned to leverage its trade potential, particularly in sectors such as chemicals, electrical machinery, pharmaceuticals, textiles and agricultural goods, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

    Ramnivas Mundada, Director of Economic Research and Companies at GlobalData, comments: “India’s tariff rate is relatively lower than other countries, including China (30%), Mexico (30%), and the EU (30%). This favorable environment not only presents a unique opportunity for Indian exporters to but also enhances the price competitiveness of Indian goods and encourages foreign investment, fostering innovation and growth. Against this backdrop, GlobalData forecasts an average growth rate of 6.5% from 2025 to 2027, positioning India to become the third-largest economy by 2027.”

    According to NITI Aayog, India can capitalize on 78 product categories (HS 4 codes) for exports to the US, accounting for 52% of its current exports. In the HS 2 code category, India enjoys lower tariffs than competitors in 22 of the top 30 products. This advantage arises from significant tariff hikes on goods from China, Canada, and Mexico. Although India faces slightly higher tariffs in six product categories, there remains a substantial growth potential, particularly in sectors like pharmaceuticals, textiles, and electrical machinery, enhancing India’s export competitiveness.

    Data from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry reveals that India’s exports to the US increased by 23.5% in June 2025 and by 22.2% from April to June 2025 compared to the same period last year. This growth has positioned the US as India’s largest trading partner for the quarter.

    Sector-wise opportunities

    India has a notable comparative advantage in the chemicals and pharmaceuticals sectors. With China facing increased tariffs, Indian exporters have a prime opportunity to capture the US chemical import market.

    India accounted for about 5% of the US apparel and clothing accessories imports in 2024, according to the ITC Trade Map. With new tariffs affecting Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Indonesia, Indian manufacturers have a significant opportunity. To achieve this, improvements in cost efficiency, lead times, and support for large-scale textile manufacturers will be essential.

    The tariff hikes on Asian countries create an opportunity for India to boost its agricultural exports to the US. With relatively lower tariffs, India can position itself as a viable alternative supplier of a range of products, including agricultural goods, livestock, processed foods, and scrap materials.

    Companies shifting operations to India

    In the first half of 2025, several multinational companies have begun shifting their manufacturing bases to India to capitalize on tariff advantages and reduce reliance on China. Notably, Apple rerouted 97% of Foxconn’s Indian iPhone exports to the US during March to May 2025, up from 50.3% in 2024, reflecting a strategic pivot amid US-China trade tensions. Similarly, in July 2025, Samsung Electronics announced plans to diversify smartphone production by moving some manufacturing from Vietnam to India.

    India’s trade competitiveness

    To capitalize on the evolving trade dynamics, India must extend Production-Linked Incentive schemes to labor-intensive sectors like leather and handicrafts, while rationalizing electricity tariffs to enhance competitiveness. Additionally, pursuing a services-centric trade agreement with the US is essential, focusing on IT, finance, and digital trade. Addressing non-tariff barriers in sectors like pharmaceuticals is also crucial for unlocking export potential.

    In June 2025, India urged the WTO to address non-tariff barriers impacting its merchandise exports, highlighting issues like opaque regulations and delays in dispute resolution that hinder competitiveness for Indian exporters, particularly MSMEs.

    Mundada concludes: “Even if India’s anticipated trade deal with the US falls short of expectations, the broader shifts in global tariffs present a strategic opportunity for India to reposition itself as a key export partner. With its resilience and sectoral strengths, India is well-equipped to diversify its export base. By implementing supportive trade and industrial policies, India can transform global tariff challenges into significant economic advantages. As the world navigates these changing trade landscapes, India’s potential as a competitive exporter remains bright, promising growth and resilience in the face of adversity.”

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: New action to tackle unpaid internships as Government seeks to protect younger workers

    Press release

    New action to tackle unpaid internships as Government seeks to protect younger workers

    Call for Evidence launched into unpaid internships as some employers fail to pay young workers despite ban.

    • Evidence will be collected to better protect younger workers from being exploited by illegal unpaid internships. 

    • Tackling this issue would put money back into the pockets of interns across the UK. 

    • This delivers on a commitment to stop employers flouting the rules around unpaid internships, ensuring fair career pathways are accessible to all, breaking down barriers to opportunity as part of the Plan for Change. 

    Younger workers will be protected from employers flouting the rules on the use exploitative unpaid internships, as government takes a step closer on delivering its manifesto commitment to ban the practice. 

    Today (Thursday 17 July) the government has launched its call for evidence on the issue. This forms part of the Make Work Pay agenda, the biggest upgrade to worker’s rights in a generation which will directly benefit over 15 million workers – half of all workers in the UK.  

    Internships offer young people invaluable experience as they build their careers. When these are unpaid or paid below the National Minimum Wage, barriers to equal opportunity are created based on where people live, how old they are, or their social background.  

    Unpaid internships are already largely banned under current law, when they are not part of an educational or training course. The government is committed to strengthening these protections by gathering more evidence on how unpaid internships affect young people, and how businesses use them to assess candidates.  

    Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: 

    Every young person deserves the chance to build their career through quality work experience, but good employers are still being undercut by those exploiting interns by illegally asking them to work for free. 

    Our Plan for Change seeks to break down barriers to opportunity, which is why we will strengthen protections for younger workers so that internships are accessible to everyone, ensuring they have the foundations to build a strong and successful career.

    Employment Rights Minister Justin Madders said:  

    Internships provide a strong platform from which to build a career, allowing young people to learn new skills and giving employers a pipeline of future talent to hire from to grow their business. 

    Employers should not be taking advantage of the opportunities on offer by not paying their interns. This move will help us crack down on those not following the rules, so that the next generation of interns are able to gain that crucial experience whilst earning a fair wage.

    Nick Harrison, CEO of the Sutton Trust, said:

    Taking action on internships with low or no pay is absolutely the right thing to do. We’ve found that 61% of internships undertaken by recent graduates were ‘unpaid or underpaid’, effectively excluding those who can’t rely on financial support from family.  

    Employers will benefit from the wider pool of talent available to them, and three quarters of employers told us a ban wouldn’t impact the number of opportunities they provide. Today’s announcement marks a significant step in the right direction.

    The Call for Evidence will run for [12 weeks, closing on 9 October 2025]. 

    NOTES TO EDITORS: 

    • The Sutton Trust’s report, Unpaid and underpaid internships, was published on 23rd January 2025.  

    • The Sutton Trust surveyed 1,232 recent graduates (aged between 21 and 29) were surveyed between 10 and 11 December 2024 via Public First. 623 recent graduates reported completing at least one internship. All results are weighted using Iterative Proportional Fitting, or ‘Raking’. The results are weighted by age, gender and region to census data proportions. 

    • For the Sutton Trust’s report, employers were surveyed with a sample of 1,009 senior HR decision makers at businesses across Great Britain. Fieldwork was conducted online, between 10 and 18 December 2024, via YouGov, with quotas set by business size targeting 50% in small (10 to 49 employees), 25% in medium (50 to 249 employees) and 25% in large (250+ employees) businesses, to give statistically robust data.

  • MIL-OSI China: Third China International Supply Chain Expo opens in Beijing

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    The third China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) opened in Beijing on Wednesday, bringing together 651 companies and organizations from 75 countries, regions and international organizations.

    The expo, themed “Connecting the World, Creating the Future,” aims to showcase new technologies, products and services across various supply chain sectors while promoting global cooperation.

    Hosted by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), CISCE is the world’s first national-level expo dedicated solely to supply chains. The event provides a platform to promote synergy across upstream and downstream sectors and integration among businesses of all sizes.

    This year’s expo features six key industrial chains and one exhibition area: advanced manufacturing chain, smart vehicle chain, green agriculture chain, clean energy chain, digital technology chain, healthy life chain, alongside a dedicated supply chain services exhibition area.

    CCPIT Chairman Ren Hongbin emphasized the expo’s role as a platform for China’s high-standard opening up. He urged collective efforts to safeguard multilateralism and build a more interconnected future.

    John Denton, secretary-general of the International Chamber of Commerce, cited an old Chinese proverb to underscore the importance of reviving collaborative efforts for mutual prosperity. He warned of severe disruption to the global trade system if current tensions escalate. “This event is much more than an expo,” Denton said. “It is a forest of connections between economies, industries and people.”

    U.S. tech giant Nvidia, a new exhibitor this year, was represented by founder and CEO Jensen Huang. In his opening address, Huang praised China’s rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, describing the Chinese market as both “large” and “dynamic.” He affirmed Nvidia’s commitment to collaborating with partners to create a prosperous future in the AI era.

    The expo is expected to generate significant cooperation. Organizers said 170 international delegations will visit for discussions and business negotiations, a 120% increase from the previous session.

  • MIL-OSI China: China calls for strengthening SCO economic, trade cooperation

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    BEIJING, July 17 — Gao Yunlong, chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, called for bolstering economic and trade cooperation within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) when speaking at the opening of the SCO business forum in Beijing on Thursday.

    Economic and trade cooperation is a powerful engine driving the SCO’s dynamic development, said Gao, also vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

    Gao said China is ready to work with other parties to further align regional development strategies, enhance the quality and level of SCO economic and trade cooperation, and ensure the stability and efficiency of industrial and supply chains.

    He stressed that these efforts will promote the building of an SCO community with a shared future and contribute to lasting global peace and shared prosperity.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: South Africa: Committee on Health Receives Inputs on Tobacco Bill from Lesedi Black Business Forum and World Vapers Alliance

    Source: APO


    .

    The Portfolio Committee on Health has received briefings from the Lesedi Black Business Forum (LBBF) and the World Vapers Alliance (WVA) on the Tobacco and Electronic Delivery System Control Bill.

    The LBBF supported the objectives of the Bill but called for a balance between public health and economic considerations. It said it has interacted with the Department of Health, via an online workshop organised by the department in 2020 but the LBBF is disappointed that the issues it raised in that workshop are not reflected in the final draft Bill submitted to Parliament.

    On regulation, it said it supports efforts to reduce smoking in South Africa. Mr Lobi of the LBBF said a smarter, more practical approach is required to achieve the Bill’s goal while avoiding harm to communities and businesses in the process. He urged the government to focus more on stopping the out-of-control illicit tobacco trade, which harms young people and the poor the most.

    The LBBF said the government should work on preventing young people from smoking by using behavioural and educational programmes, as was done in the past with HIV/Aids awareness campaigns, for instance. These programmes are key to finding a lasting solution to reducing smoking.

    Mr Lobi said: “We have a problem with the criminalisation of smokers. Treating smokers as criminals is unfair and ineffective, and we encourage a more supportive approach to help them quit.”

    The LBBF emphasised that in their local municipality, tobacco manufacturing is an anchor industry but it is being jeopardised by the Bill, should it be adopted as it is. Mr Lobi added: “Beyond specific Lesedi consideration, the Bill fails to account for the commercial interests of small traders that dot the South African landscape due to lack of employment opportunities.”

    The WVA is concerned that the Bill equates vaping with smoking. Provisions such as flavour bans, advertising restrictions, plain packaging and public use bans exacerbate the situation. Overregulation may drive consumers back to smoking or the illicit market. Notably, WVA said the Bill fails to acknowledge vaping as a tool for harm reduction. The WVA in its briefing submitted evidence from Sweden, demonstrating a remarkable 55% decline in smoking rates over the past decade.

    Committee chairperson Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo said inputs made during the public engagement process will be taken into consideration and applied when the committee starts its deliberation on the Bill after consultations with the public are completed.

    The objective of the Bill is to strengthen public health protection measures, align South African tobacco control law with the World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and repeal the Tobacco Control Act of 1993 and its amendments.

    Key provisions in the Bill include the introduction of 100 percent smoke-free indoor public places and certain outdoor areas; a ban on the sale of cigarettes through vending machines; the implementation of plain packaging with graphic health warnings; a ban on the display of products at points of sale; and the regulation and control of electronic nicotine delivery systems and non-nicotine delivery systems.

    Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Wednesday inaugurated the India campus of the University of Southampton in Gurugram

    This marks the first foreign university to establish a campus in India under the University Grants Commission’s new regulations,

    Describing the event as a “momentous milestone” in the internationalisation of education under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Pradhan said the development also deepens the education pillar of the India–UK strategic partnership, as outlined in the India–UK Roadmap 2030.

    “Southampton University’s campus in Gurugram will create new synergies, foster a new culture of curiosity and excellence, and present an added choice to students to access world-class education at a more affordable cost and nearer to home and family,” he said.

    Pradhan also urged the university to introduce STEM programmes and contribute to India’s vision of becoming a global innovation hub.

    The launch event was attended by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Lord Patel OBE, Chancellor of the University and a member of the UK House of Lord, British High Commissioner to India Lindy Cameron, and UGC Chairman Dr. Vineet Joshi.

    Pradhan commended the university for establishing the state-of-the-art campus within a year of receiving the Letter of Intent.

    Highlighting the growing educational ties between India and the UK, Pradhan referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s description of this relationship as a “living bridge” that connects the two nations.

    UGC Chairman Dr. Vineet Joshi called the Gurugram campus a proud milestone and a model for future international collaborations under NEP 2020. He said it reaffirms India’s emerging role as a global hub for education.

    The new campus will offer undergraduate and postgraduate programmes aligned with UK academic standards. Fields of study include Computer Science, Business Management, Economics, Accounting and Finance. Students will also have the flexibility to pursue parts of their education in the UK or Malaysia.

    Academic programmes at the campus are scheduled to begin in 2025, with the inaugural cohort comprising students from India, the UAE, and Nepal. Undergraduate offerings include BSc degrees in Computer Science, Economics, Accounting & Finance, and Business Management, while postgraduate options include MSc degrees in Finance and International Management.

    The university said over 75 faculty members from leading global institutions will join the Gurugram campus, ensuring international academic quality. Its global alumni network of over 290,000 graduates, including more than 1,700 from India, is also expected to play a key role in mentoring students and facilitating industry engagement.
