  • MIL-OSI Europe: Answer to a written question – Commission’s response to the impact of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) on the competitiveness of EU businesses – E-001325/2025(ASW)

    Source: European Parliament

    The Digital Markets Act (DMA)[1] aims to establish fair and contestable digital markets in the EU and to support businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises that depend on large online platforms for digital advertisement. As such, the DMA aims to create a more dynamic advertising market that offers more transparency and, potentially lower cost, via alternatives to gatekeepers’ advertising services.

    T he DMA does not ban personalised advertisement. It gives users the choice whether to grant access to their personal data for targeted advertising purposes. Targeted advertising exploits personal data of users and it is therefore important that users should be asked if they agree to it. If users decide that, their personal data should not be used for personalised advertisement, advertisers can still reach them, but they must do so with an equivalent but less personalised alternative, respecting the users’ choice.

    In the case of Meta, the Commission has found that its binary ‘Consent or Pay’ model is not compliant with the DMA, as it does not offer a less personalised but equivalent alternative of its social networks[2]. Users who do not want their personal data to be used for targeting advertisements are asked to pay a price and advertisers cannot reach them at all.

    The Commission’s assessment is independent from the Court judgment in case of Meta Inc and Others,[3] which does not approve of subscription models under all circumstances, and which concerns the General Data Protection Regulation[4] and competition law, not the DMA.

  • MIL-OSI: Alaris Equity Partners Announces $75 Million Bought Deal Offering of 6.50% Convertible Unsecured Senior Debentures

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES.
    FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAW

    CALGARY, Alberta, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alaris Equity Partners Income Trust (“Alaris” or the “Trust”) (TSX: AD.UN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”) led by National Bank Financial, CIBC Capital Markets and Desjardins Capital Markets, and including Acumen Capital Partners, Raymond James Ltd., RBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank, and Cormark Securities Inc. pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured senior debentures due June 30, 2030 (the “Debentures”) at a price of $1,000 per Debenture (the “Offering”). The Trust has also granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $11.25 million aggregate principal amount of Debentures, on the same terms and conditions, exercisable in whole or in part, up to 30 days following closing of the Offering. The Offering is expected to close on or about June 2, 2025 (the “Closing Date”). Unless otherwise stated, all numbers in this press release are presented in Canadian dollars.

    The Trust intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to partially repay outstanding indebtedness under Alaris’ subsidiary’s senior debt facility (the “Senior Debt Facility”) which may be subsequently redrawn and used to fund future investments in new Partner (as defined below) investments or general trust purposes.

    The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on the last business day of June and December of each year commencing on December 31, 2025. The first payment will include accrued and unpaid interest for the period from the Closing Date to, but excluding, December 31, 2025. The Debentures will mature on June 30, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”).

    The Debentures will be direct senior unsecured obligations of the Trust and will rank subordinate to all existing and future senior secured indebtedness of the Trust and any of its subsidiaries, including pursuant to the Senior Debt Facility, and pari passu with each debenture issued under the debenture indenture governing the Debentures (the “Trust Indenture”) and with all other present and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Trust, including the Trust’s senior unsecured debentures due March 31, 2027, as further detailed in the Trust Indenture. The payment of principal and premium, if any, of, and interest on, the Debentures will be subordinated in right of payment to all senior secured indebtedness. The Trust Indenture will not restrict the Trust or its subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness or from mortgaging, pledging or charging its properties to secure any indebtedness or liabilities. None of the Trust’s subsidiaries will guarantee the Debentures.

    The Debentures will be convertible at the holder’s option into units of the Trust (“Units”) at any time prior to the earlier of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding: (i) the Maturity Date June 30, 2030; and (ii) and if called for redemption, the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption of the Debentures at a conversion price of $24.85 per Units, being a ratio of 40.2414 per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Debentures are not redeemable by Alaris before June 30, 2028. On and after June 30, 2028 and prior to June 30, 2029, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at the option of Alaris at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the volume weighted average trading price of the Units on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the date on which the notice of the redemption is given is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. On and after June 30, 2029, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at the option of Alaris at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest regardless of the trading price of the Units.

    A preliminary short form prospectus will be filed with securities regulatory authorities in all provinces of Canada, other than the province of Québec. The Offering is subject to customary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

    This news release is not an offer of securities of Alaris for sale in the United States. The Debentures have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Debentures may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration. No public offering of securities is being made in the United States. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

  • MIL-OSI: Satellogic Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Revenue of $3.4 million in 1Q 2025

    Domestication to U.S. Completed

    Awarded $30 Million Contract for AI-First Constellation and Closed $20 Million Registered Direct Offering

    NEW YORK, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), a leader in sub-meter resolution Earth Observation (“EO”) data collection, today provided a business update and reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    “The year is off to a great start with our recent announcements in April related to our $30 million low latency, near-daily AI-first constellation contract, our sovereign defense and intelligence imagery sales to Brazil and Singapore, and the closing of a registered direct offering in which we received $20 million in gross proceeds, which further strengthened our liquidity position. These milestones, coupled with the completion of our domestication during the first quarter, positions Satellogic to focus on significant growth opportunities, underscoring the value of our data insights and technology,” said Satellogic CEO, Emiliano Kargieman.

    Rick Dunn, Chief Financial Officer, added, “In terms of financial results, we ended the quarter with $17.7 million of cash on hand (which does not include the proceeds from the aforementioned offering) and continued to reduce our cash used in operations by $5.4 million, or 53%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our revenue also increased modestly by 2% to $3.4 million compared to the prior year period.”

    “We expect that our revenue for 2025 will largely be dependent on closing opportunities within our Space Systems line of business, which we anticipate will contribute considerable per unit cash flow and strong gross margin. As we look to 2025 and beyond, management continues to focus on near-term growth opportunities and moving the Company forward on a path to profitability,” concluded Dunn.

    Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

    • Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $0.1 million, or 2%, to $3.4 million, as compared to revenue of $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by a $0.4 million increase in imagery ordered by new and existing Asset Monitoring customers, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in revenue generated from the Space Systems business line. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included $2.6 million attributable to our Asset Monitoring line of business, $0.4 million attributable to our Space Systems line of business, and $0.4 million attributable to our CaaS line of business compared to $2.2 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in the prior period.
    • Cost of Sales, exclusive of depreciation, decreased $0.1 million, or 5%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by lower Space Systems costs on lower sales volume, partially offset by higher outsourced ground station costs. However, as a percentage of revenue, our cost of sales were 37% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased $2.9 million, or 31%, to $6.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by a $0.5 million decrease in professional fees consisting mainly of the accrued advisory fee pursuant to the Liberty Subscription Agreement and professional fees related to the secured convertible notes in 2024, partially offset by professional fees related to our domestication in 2025. The decrease was also partially driven by decreases in salaries, wages, stock-based compensation and other benefits as a result of the Company’s workforce reductions in 2024 and other expense reductions resulting from continued cash control measures during 2024.
    • Engineering expenses decreased $1.9 million, or 43%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in salaries, wages, and other benefits and stock-based compensation as a result of the Company’s workforce reductions in 2024. The decrease was also partially driven by other expense reductions resulting from continued cash control measures during 2024, including the termination of our high-throughput plant lease in the Netherlands.
    • Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $17.4 million to $32.6 million, as compared to a net loss of $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the change in fair value of financial instruments ($21.6 million) and other (expense) income, net ($1.6 million) offset by increases in revenue and decreases in operating costs.
    • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, improved by $3.1 million to $6.1 million, from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to year-over-year increases in revenue and decreases in operating expenses.
    • Cash and Cash Equivalents were $17.7 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $22.5 million at December 31, 2024.
    • Net cash used in operating activities was $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. This decline in net cash used by operations was primarily due to workforce reduction and overall cost control initiatives.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We monitor a number of financial performance and liquidity measures on a regular basis in order to track the progress of our business. Included in these financial performance and liquidity measures are the non-GAAP measures, Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. We believe these measures provide analysts, investors and management with helpful information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business, as they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by removing the impact of items that we believe are not reflective of our underlying operating performance. The non-GAAP measures are used by us to evaluate our core operating performance and liquidity on a comparable basis and to make strategic decisions. The non-GAAP measures also facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations such as capital structures, taxation, depreciation, capital expenditures and other non-cash items (i.e., embedded derivatives, debt extinguishment and stock-based compensation) which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. However, different companies may define these terms differently and accordingly comparisons might not be accurate. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure. For the definitions of Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss, see below.

    We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We did not incur amortization expense during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

    We define Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as Non-GAAP EBITDA further adjusted for professional fees related to the secured convertible notes, other expense (income), net, changes in the fair value of financial instruments and stock-based compensation. Other expense (income), net includes foreign exchange gain or loss and other non-operating income and expenses not considered indicative of our ongoing operational performance.

    The following table presents a reconciliation of Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to its net loss for the periods indicated.

  • MIL-OSI Security: International coalition uncovers EUR 3 million online investment fraud

    Source: Eurojust

    Using the method of cyber trading, the group was able to make considerable profits and defraud victims of their substantial savings. The criminals created a fake online trading platform that promised large profits in a short period of time. After initially transferring modest sums of money to the platform, victims are then persuaded by fake charts that they will make large profits. Using psychological pressure, fake brokers call their victims to convince them to transfer higher amounts to the platform. The money transferred by the victims is never invested and instead goes directly to the criminal group. Authorities are aware of approximately 100 victims, but they believe more people have fallen victim to the OCG. 

    German authorities started investigating the fake platform after a married couple reported the scam to the police. The initial investigation focused on the holder of the bank account to which the couple had transferred their savings. The authorities soon uncovered an international criminal group behind the fake investment platform. On 6 September 2022, during the first action day in this investigation, authorities searched multiple locations in Belgium and Latvia, arrested two suspects and seized important evidence. This evidence was instrumental in identifying seven more members of the criminal group, including the managers of the call centres used to convince victims to invest more money. 

    The second action day took place on 13 May 2025. A total of eight searches took place simultaneously in Albania, Cyprus and Israel and executed six interrogations.  During the searches, authorities seized evidence to continue the investigation such as electronic devices and documents as well as cash.  A suspect in Cyprus was arrested with the intention of either surrendering or extraditing them to Germany. Investigations into the investment fraud will continue. 

    As victims were identified across the world and the group operated globally, international cooperation was essential. Eurojust ensured that judicial authorities worked together smoothly and efficiently from the start of the investigation in 2022. For the second phase of the investigation, Eurojust facilitated all judicial cooperation requests and coordinated the action day from its headquarters in The Hague. Europol provided operational support throughout the investigation, deploying mobile offices in Israel, Albania and the United Kingdom. A virtual command post was also set up by Europol to facilitate real-time coordination and intelligence sharing.

    The following authorities carried out the operations:

    • Germany: Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Itzehoe Regional Court, Department for Combating Cybercrime; District Criminal Investigation Office Kiel
    • Cyprus: Attorney General’s Office; Cyprus Police; Unit for Combating Money Laundering (MOKAS)
    • Albania: Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organised Crime
    • United Kingdom: National Crime Agency
    • Israel: Israeli Police –  National Cybercrime Unit, LAHAV 433 together with the Coordination and Operational Division in the Intelligence Branch

    This operation was carried out as part of the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT).

    EMPACT tackles the most important threats posed by organised and serious international crime affecting the European Union. EMPACT strengthens intelligence and strategic and operational cooperation between national authorities, EU institutions and bodies, and international partners. EMPACT runs in four-year cycles focusing on common EU crime priorities. Fraud, economic and financial crimes are among the priorities for the 2022-2025 Policy Cycle.

    Source: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) State Crime Alerts (b)

    PHOENIX, Ariz. – During the week of enforcement operations from May 3, 2025, through May 9, 2025, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona brought immigration-related criminal charges against 314 defendants. Specifically, the United States filed 117 cases in which aliens illegally re-entered the United States, and the United States also charged 166 aliens for illegally entering the United States.  In its ongoing effort to deter unlawful immigration, the United States filed 25 cases against 31 individuals responsible for smuggling illegal aliens into and within the District of Arizona.

    These cases were referred or supported by federal law enforcement partners, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE ERO), ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Border Patrol, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

    Recent matters of interest include:

    United States v. Marco Antonio Ruelas-Solis: On May 3, 2025, Marco Antonio Ruelas-Solis, of Mexico, was found in possession of an FNS-9C 9-millimeter pistol and 40 rounds of 9-millimeter ammunition while target shooting along Forest Road 403 in the Tonto National Forest in Maricopa County. Ruelas-Solis was charged with Possession of a Firearm by Alien Unlawfully Present in the United States and Reentry of a Removed Alien. [Case Numbers: MJ-25-0178; MJ-25-6183]

    United States v. Clayton Line Wilhite: On May 4, 2025, Clayton Line Wilhite was arrested and charged with Transportation of an Illegal Alien after he failed to yield at an immigration checkpoint. After Wilhite failed to yield, law enforcement officers from Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection responded to the scene and attempted to effectuate a stop. Wilhite led officers on a short vehicle chase before striking another car from behind and pulling over. Two illegal aliens from Mexico then exited the vehicle and tried to flee but were detained by agents. Wilhite remained in the driver’s seat and was arrested without further incident. [Case number: MJ-25-07795]

    A criminal complaint is simply a method by which a person is charged with criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

    These cases are part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32), senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Co-Chair of the House Israel Allied Caucus and the most senior Democrat on the House-Knesset Parliamentary Friendship Group, released the following statement on the release of Edan Alexander from Hamas captivity:

    “Grateful and relieved over the release of U.S.-Israeli citizen, Edan Alexander. While we celebrate Edan’s return home, we must continue working for the safe release of ALL remaining hostages – NOW.”

    Edan Alexander, the last known living American hostage in Gaza, was released by Hamas and reunited with his family on Monday, ending an 18-month ordeal that began with the militant group’s October 7 attack.

    Hamas announced Sunday night it had agreed to free Alexander, 21, after several days of talks with the United States, which bypassed Israel, and formed part of an effort to reach a ceasefire and resume the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

    Speech

    The UK calls on Israel to lift its block on aid: UK statement at the UN Security Council

    Statement by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

    The UK called this meeting alongside Denmark, France, Greece and Slovenia in response to the alarming warnings that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is worse than it has ever been.

    So we are calling for three urgent things.

    First, the UK calls on Israel to lift its block on aid.

    The World Food Programme warned us over a week ago that they have no food left. 

    And IPC data released yesterday shows that the whole of Gaza is at the risk of famine. 

    Meanwhile, tonnes of food are currently sitting rotting at the border, blocked from reaching people who are starving. 

    This is cruel and it is inexcusable. 

    And it risks further deaths that should be avoidable. 

    Second, the UK will not support any aid mechanism that seeks to deliver political or military objectives or puts vulnerable civilians at risk. 

    We call on Israel to urgently engage with the UN to ensure a return to delivery of aid in line with humanitarian principles. 

    International law requires Israel to allow the rapid and unimpeded provision of humanitarian aid to all civilians.

    Third, the UK reiterates our outrage at the killing of Palestinian Red Crescent workers and the strikes on a UNOPS compound in March. 

    We are disappointed that Israel has not yet released the final findings of its investigation into the UNOPS incident or taken concrete action to ensure these incidents can never happen again.

    President, the release of Edan Alexander yesterday after 17 months of cruel Hamas captivity offers a rare moment of hope. 

    We must never forget the suffering of those hostages that remain in Gaza and those families awaiting the return of their loved ones’ remains.

    It is ceasefire deals that have delivered the release of over 180 hostages and allowed a massive scale-up of aid for desperate Palestinians. 

    This shows what is possible with political will. 

    This is why we strongly oppose an expansion of this conflict, as do many hostages’ families.

    And it is a ceasefire deal that now offers the best hope of ending the agony of the hostages and their families, alleviating the suffering of civilians in Gaza, ending Hamas’ control of Gaza and achieving a pathway to a two-state solution.

    Montpelier, Vt. – Governor Phil Scott today issued Executive Order 04-25, directing the Agency of Natural Resources to pause enforcement of a multi-state plan requiring vehicle manufacturers to meet certain electric vehicle (EV) sales targets for passenger cars and medium- and heavy-trucks.

    “I continue to believe we should be incentivizing Vermonters to transition to cleaner energy options like electric vehicles. However, we have to be realistic about a pace that’s achievable. It’s clear we don’t have anywhere near enough charging infrastructure and insufficient technological advances in heavy-duty vehicles to meet current goals,” said Governor Scott. “We have much more work to do, in order make it more convenient, faster, and more affordable to buy, maintain and charge EV’s. When we do, it’s more likely everyday Vermonters will make the switch.”

    Governor Scott remains committed to addressing climate change, including advocating for more charging infrastructure, which is key to supporting Vermonters in making EVs viable and reducing transportation emissions. When it comes to transitioning to a low-carbon future, mandates are not going to be the total answer.  Using common sense and incentivizing technological advancements is necessary to overall success and this compliance flexibility is intended to reflect this reality.

    Source: US State of California

    Tuesday, May 13, 2025

    Contact: (916) 210-6000, agpressoffice@doj.ca.gov

    Encourages individuals with relevant information to email BCJ@doj.ca.gov  

    SAN DIEGO – California Attorney General Rob Bonta today announced the opening of a civil rights investigation into San Diego County (County) and the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE). The investigation will seek to determine whether the County has engaged in a pattern or practice of unlawful treatment of youth at East Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility and Youth Transition Campus in San Diego County and will examine SDCOE’s provision of educational services to youth at these facilities. If, through this investigation, the Attorney General’s Office determines that unlawful activity or practices took place, the office will also determine what potential reforms are needed to ensure that comprehensive corrective action takes place at these facilities. 

    “Every young person deserves the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe, dignified, and welcoming environment,” said Attorney General Bonta. “My office will investigate conditions at San Diego juvenile halls to ensure San Diego County and its Office of Education are following the law and meeting their obligation to the children they serve. As we launch this investigation, it is vital that we hear from members of the community. I encourage anyone with potentially relevant information on conditions at these facilities to reach out to my office at BCJ@doj.ca.gov.” 

    Under the California Constitution, California Government Code section 11180, et. seq., and California Civil Code section 52.3, the Attorney General has authority to conduct civil investigations into whether an entity has engaged in a pattern or practice of violating state or federal law. As opposed to a criminal investigation into an individual incident or incidents, a pattern or practice investigation typically works to identify and, as appropriate, compel the correction of systemic violations of the constitutional rights of the community at large. 

    Individuals with information regarding the treatment of youth at these facilities can contact the California Department of Justice’s Bureau of Children’s Justice at BCJ@doj.ca.gov. Members of the public can also send information to Bureau of Children’s Justice in other languages. 

    Attorney General Bonta is committed to protecting and uplifting our youth and working to build a better tomorrow for future generations. As part of those efforts, he has fought to foster safe and inclusive school environments, defended the rights of LGBTQ youth, pushed our schools to provide an inclusive curriculum that reflects the diversity of our state and nation, and fought for foster youth and justice-involved youth. Through pattern or practice investigations, Attorney General Bonta has addressed discrimination at Mojave Unified School District, fought to protect youth in Los Angeles County Juvenile Halls, and instituted critical reforms at Redlands Unified School District.

    Attorney General Bonta has made no determinations at this time about specific complaints, allegations, or the overall policies and practices of the County or SDCOE.

    Headline: Statement on Vance County Department of Social Services

    Statement on Vance County Department of Social Services
    jawerner
    Tue, 05/13/2025 – 14:24

    Effective Wednesday, May 14, 2025, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services will temporarily assume leadership of child welfare services at the Vance County Department of Social Services, as authorized under state law.

    Vance County leadership and Vance County DSS staff received this letter earlier today. Both have expressed support for this temporary action by the state.

    “We take very seriously the department’s role in protecting the safety and well-being of children and families involved in the child welfare system,” said NC Health and Human Services Secretary Dev Sangvai. “This urgent, temporary action is necessary for us to work directly with Vance County staff, improve the county’s ability to effectively administer child welfare services, and ensure better outcomes for children and families in the county moving forward.”

    NCDHHS has been working closely with Vance County DSS since July 2024 to address serious concerns over their practice and delivery of child welfare services. Vance County DSS has not demonstrated significant progress toward addressing these concerns, resulting in a substantial threat to the safety and welfare of children in the county who receive or are eligible for these services.

    Due to the urgency of this situation, NCDHHS is taking action to assume control over Vance County’s child welfare services and will be on-site administering services as of Wednesday, May 14.

    “To all DSS Partners, in spirit together we stand successfully, divided we will continue to fall. We can achieve climbing this mountain,” said Rev. Dr. Leonard Frieson Sr, Vance County DSS Board Chairman.

    “We have a strong team at the Department of Social Services and as we move forward with shifting these services to DHHS, our goal is simple: make sure kids and families get the support they need, when they need it. This isn’t about stepping back—it’s about making smart changes that help us serve the community even better,” said Vance County Manager Renee Perry.

    NCDHHS staff will remain on-site at Vance County DSS throughout this interim period and will work closely with staff to manage and stabilize child welfare services. The department is also working with the county to develop a plan to bring their child welfare services into compliance with all applicable laws and appropriate practices. This temporary action is authorized under N.C.G.S. § 108A-74.

    A partir del miércoles 14 de mayo de 2025, el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Carolina del Norte asumirá temporalmente el liderazgo de los servicios de bienestar infantil en el Departamento de Servicios Sociales del condado de Vance, según lo autorizado por la ley estatal.

    Los líderes del condado de Vance y el personal del Departamento de Servicios Sociales (DSS) del condado de Vance recibieron esta carta hoy temprano. Ambos han expresado su apoyo a esta acción temporal por parte del estado.

    “Nos tomamos muy en serio el papel del departamento en la protección de la seguridad y el bienestar de los niños y las familias involucradas en el sistema de bienestar infantil”, dijo el secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Carolina del Norte, Dev Sangvai. “Esta acción urgente y temporal es necesaria para que podamos trabajar directamente con el personal del condado de Vance, mejorar la capacidad del condado para administrar de manera efectiva los servicios de bienestar infantil y garantizar mejores resultados para los niños y las familias en el condado en el futuro”.

    El Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Carolina del norte (NCDHHS, por sus siglas en inglés) ha estado trabajando estrechamente con el DSS del condado de Vance desde julio de 2024 para abordar las serias preocupaciones sobre su práctica y la prestación de servicios de bienestar infantil. El DSS del condado de Vance no ha demostrado un progreso significativo para abordar estas preocupaciones, lo que resulta en una amenaza sustancial para la seguridad y el bienestar de los niños en el condado que reciben o son elegibles para estos servicios.

    Debido a la urgencia de esta situación, el NCDHHS está tomando medidas para asumir el control de los servicios de bienestar infantil del condado de Vance y estará en el sitio administrando los servicios a partir del miércoles 14 de mayo.

    “A todos los socios del DSS, juntos en espíritu logramos el triunfo, divididos seguiremos fracasando. Podemos lograr escalar esta montaña”, dijo el Reverendo Dr Leonard Frieson Sr, presidente de la mesa directiva del DSS del condado de Vance.

    “Tenemos un equipo sólido en el Departamento de Servicios Sociales y, a medida que avanzamos en el cambio de estos servicios al DHHS, nuestro objetivo es simple: asegurarnos de que los niños y las familias reciban el apoyo que necesitan, cuando lo necesitan. No se trata de dar un paso atrás, se trata de hacer cambios inteligentes que nos ayuden a servir a la comunidad aún mejor”, dijo la gerente del condado de Vance, Renee Perry.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: By 2030, more than 50 thousand km of utility networks will be updated under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Work on modernizing housing and communal services systems and facilities is intensifying in the regions. Since this year, it has been carried out within the framework of the federal project “Modernization of communal infrastructure” as part of the national project “Infrastructure for life”. By 2030, the country plans to replace at least 2.5% of communal networks annually, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

    “Modernization of public utility infrastructure is one of the key components of the comprehensive development of populated areas and improving the quality of life of Russians. To achieve the indicators of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, it is necessary to significantly update the infrastructure and modernize the capacity of utility networks. This large-scale work is aimed at solving existing problems in the housing and utilities sector. At the same time, it is important to ensure systemic planning, the basis for which should be comprehensive plans for the modernization of regional housing and utilities systems. In general, from 2025 to 2030, it is necessary to build and modernize more than 50 thousand km of utility networks, at least 2 thousand drinking water supply and water treatment facilities. This will improve the quality of utilities for 20 million Russians. By 2030, it is planned to replace at least 2.5% of the networks annually, by 2035 this figure should be at least 5%,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    In total, 4.5 trillion rubles must be allocated for the modernization of the housing and utilities sector, with a larger volume of funds to be provided from extra-budgetary sources. Such instruments as infrastructure bonds, treasury infrastructure loans, writing off two-thirds of the regions’ debt on budget loans, subsidies from the federal budget and regional budget funds, as well as tariff sources of resource supplying organizations are involved in the financing.

    The Deputy Prime Minister added that in 2019–2024, more than 12,000 km of utility networks and 5,500 housing and utilities infrastructure facilities were built and modernized in the country’s regions. The Territorial Development Fund is the operator of a number of federal programs supervised by the Ministry of Construction.

    “In particular, these are programs involving infrastructure budget and special treasury loans, as well as concessional loans from the National Welfare Fund. Under the IBC program, more than 270 housing and communal services facilities and events have been completed since 2022, including over 1,000 km of utility networks. Within the framework of the SKK program launched in 2023 as a continuation of this regional development instrument, 120 facilities and events have been completed, including over 320 km of utility networks. Thanks to concessional loans from the NWF, since the launch of this program in 2022, about 1.1 thousand facilities have been commissioned, including over 1.3 thousand km of utility networks. These utilities infrastructure modernization tools have proven to be in demand by the regions, and their implementation continues,” said Ilshat Shagiakhmetov, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund.

The number of Russian commercial organizations that concluded transactions on the money market in April 2025 was a record and amounted to 5.7 thousand (16% since the beginning of 2025).

    The average daily open position of Russian companies in money market instruments in April 2025 increased to 1.8 trillion rubles, which is twice as high as the average daily figure in 2024.

    The volume of transactions of Russian companies with direct access to the deposit market with a central counterparty (CCP) amounted to 10.4 trillion rubles at the end of April, which is almost three times higher than the average monthly volume of their transactions in 2024.

    The volume of transactions by corporate clients using brokerage access to the Moscow Exchange repo market reached 17.6 trillion rubles in April, which is twice their average monthly volume in 2024.

The term of the deposit is from one day to one year, the deposit currency is the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan. Applications for the placement of funds in deposits with the CCU are matched with repo applications with clearing participation certificates (CPC) from professional participants in the securities market on the Moscow Exchange money market, which ultimately contributes to the influx of additional liquidity into the Russian exchange market.

    Operations on the repo market with the help of brokerage access allow Russian companies to use the most liquid market of the Russian Federation to place and attract funds secured by securities from the widest range of counterparties for a period from one day to one year.

Practice AI is set to expand its outreach efforts, further integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal domain in ways that are both innovative and ethically grounded.

    A New Era Unfolds: Recapping the PILMMA 2025 Super Summit

    The PILMMA Super Summit has long been recognized as the premier legal marketing and management conference designed for “serious lawyers” who are determined to create the practices they truly want rather than settling for the status quo. This year’s edition, held in Denver, Colorado, attracted top legal professionals, legal tech innovators, and forward-thinking industry leaders from across the country. The summit offered an immersive three-day experience focused on elite networking, mastermind sessions, and breakthrough strategies to redefine legal practices.

    Key Highlights from the Summit Include:

    • Elite Networking: Attendees had the opportunity to connect with some of the most successful lawyers, legal marketers, and firm owners in the country. The event’s robust networking sessions provided fertile ground for forging relationships that promise to drive future collaborations and strategic partnerships.
    • Masterminding for Growth: With a dedicated focus on the “Mastermind Effect,” the summit featured interactive sessions led by seasoned professionals who shared insights on how to scale a law firm exponentially by systematically breaking through common operational barriers.
    • Expert-Led Workshops: The agenda was packed with sessions on optimizing legal practice management, leveraging AI to boost marketing performance, and deploying cutting-edge legal tech to increase efficiency. These discussions helped attendees pinpoint exactly where their practices stood and how incremental improvements could lead to significant breakthroughs.
    • Strategic Focus on AI: A recurring theme at the summit was the transformative potential of AI in law. Participants explored topics such as enhancing legal research accuracy, automating routine tasks, and integrating AI-driven analytics to better serve clients.

    For more details on the PILMMA 2025 Super Summit agenda and its mission to empower legal professionals, visit the official summit page at pilmma.org/summit pilmma.org.

    The Ideal Backdrop for Innovation and Collaboration

    Held at the Hilton Denver City Center, located at 1701 California Street, Denver, CO 80202, the summit provided an inspiring setting for the convergence of industry leaders and forward-thinking professionals. The city’s vibrant atmosphere and modern facilities contributed significantly to the event’s success, offering attendees both a conducive environment for learning and ample opportunities for networking.

    During the summit, participants experienced a dynamic mix of keynote sessions, hands-on workshops, and interactive networking events, all aimed at fostering a collaborative spirit among legal professionals. This environment reinforced the idea that strategic partnerships, like the one between Practice AI and Legal Soft, are key to unlocking new possibilities in legal tech innovation.

    Forging the Future: Initiatives and Partnership Highlights

    In the coming months, Practice AI is set to launch several initiatives that build on the momentum generated by the PILMMA 2025 Super Summit. These initiatives are designed to foster continuous innovation and deeper collaboration across the legal tech community:

    • Educational Workshops and Seminars: Practice AI and Legal Soft will jointly host a series of workshops aimed at demystifying AI for legal professionals. These sessions will provide practical guidance on integrating AI into everyday legal practice, focusing on both technological and ethical considerations.
    • Collaborative Research and Development Projects: By leveraging the combined expertise of both partners, new R&D projects will explore innovative AI applications: From predictive analytics in litigation to advanced legal document automation. These projects will serve as testbeds for pioneering solutions that can be scaled across the industry.
    • Industry Roundtables and Peer-to-Peer Learning: Recognizing the value of shared experiences, the partners plan to organize roundtable discussions with thought leaders from both the legal and tech sectors. These sessions will address the challenges of AI adoption and offer strategies for sustainable growth in legal practice.
    • Customized AI Solutions for Law Firms: Practice AI is working on tailoring its AI tools to meet the unique needs of individual law firms. By offering customizable solutions, the company aims to ensure that every legal practice, regardless of size or specialty, can benefit from the advantages of AI.

    A Call for Collaborative Transformation

    At the core of Practice AI’s mission is a clear vision: technology, when implemented with responsibility and foresight, can transform legal practice for the better. Hamid Kohan’s words at the summit resonate with this vision. “Practice AI is now intensifying its outreach efforts to forge strategic partnerships with leading legal professionals, ensuring that AI is implemented responsibly and efficiently,” he reiterated. This commitment to ethical AI adoption serves as the guiding principle for all future initiatives.

    Kohan’s second remark further underscores the company’s commitment to education and collaboration. “We are committed to raising awareness on using AI the smart way. By collaborating with legal tech leaders and seasoned legal professionals, we are paving the way for a future where technology and law work in harmony to deliver better outcomes for all stakeholders.” These statements not only reflect the current momentum at Practice AI but also set the tone for a future where continuous dialogue and shared innovation drive industry progress.

    Industry Impact and Looking Ahead

    The transformative impact of AI in the legal field is already evident. From automating mundane tasks to providing deep insights through data analytics, AI is reshaping the way legal services are delivered. Practice AI’s initiatives for May 2025 are designed to help legal professionals adapt to these changes and harness the full potential of AI. With strategic outreach and robust partnerships, the company is leading the charge toward a smarter, more efficient legal industry.

    Key anticipated impacts include:

    • A Shift in Legal Practice Paradigms: As more law firms begin to adopt AI-driven tools, the traditional models of legal practice are evolving. This shift is expected to lead to more agile, client-focused, and cost-effective legal services.
    • Enhanced Professional Development: By providing targeted educational programs, Practice AI is helping legal professionals develop the skills needed to thrive in an increasingly digital and data-driven environment.
    • A Robust Ecosystem of Innovation: The collaborative efforts between Practice AI and its strategic partners such as Legal Soft are set to foster a thriving ecosystem of innovation, where new ideas and solutions are continuously tested and refined.

    A Bold Step Forward for Legal Technology

    The PILMMA 2025 Super Summit has laid the foundation for an exciting new chapter in legal technology. As Practice AI and Legal Soft build on the success of the event, the focus now turns to a future defined by strategic partnerships, innovative AI solutions, and a commitment to ethical, client-centric practices.

  • MIL-OSI: Gevo Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Quarterly Revenue Increased $25 Million Compared to First Quarter of 2024 Due to Strategic Growth Initiatives 

    Further Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1Growth is Expected in 2025 

    Gevo to Host Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. ET

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo., May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) (“Gevo”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a leading developer of cost-effective, renewable hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals that also can deliver significant carbon emission abatement, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    Recent Corporate Highlights: Continuing on a Path to Positive Adjusted EBITDA1 

    • Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth: Total operating revenue increased by approximately $25 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.
      • This increase was primarily driven by inorganic revenue growth of $23 million during the last two months of the quarter from Gevo North Dakota (through the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Red Trail Energy, LLC, which closed on January 31, 2025). Gevo’s consolidated financials for the first quarter of 2025 include Gevo North Dakota results for the two months of February and March 2025.
      • RNG total operating revenue increased by $1.7 million, or 42%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. This was primarily driven by receiving approval of a -339 gCO2e/MJ carbon intensity (“CI”) score for our RNG project from the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) under their Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) program, partially offset by lower Renewable Identification Number (“RIN”) prices.
      • We expect further Adjusted EBITDA1 growth through the rest of 2025 as a result of the expected monetization of Section 45Z tax credits generated by our low-carbon ethanol and biogas facilities.
      • Other revenue, including sales of isooctane and software services, also increased by $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.
    • Carbon abatement, a new product that can be sold: Gevo is actively developing the customers and markets for voluntary carbon abatement. Our drop-in fuel products generated total carbon abatement (i.e., emissions sequestered, reduced or avoided by using renewable instead of fossil inputs) of over 100 thousand metric tons of CO2 in the first quarter of 2025.
      • This carbon abatement includes captured and sequestered volume of approximately 29 thousand metric tons of CO2 at Gevo North Dakota during the two months of February and March 2025.
      • During the same period, Gevo North Dakota produced approximately 11.1 million gallons of low-carbon ethanol at an estimated CI of 21 gCO2e/MJ, contributing approximately 47 thousand metric tons of carbon abatement.
      • RNG had production of 79,963 MMBtu in the first quarter of 2025 and over 60,000 metric tons of carbon credits were generated in the California LCFS system.

    _________________________
    1  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization, allocated intercompany expenses for shared service functions, non-cash stock-based compensation, and the change in fair value of derivative instruments to GAAP loss from operations as well as monetized tax credits, if any. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP loss from operations is provided in the financial statement tables following this release. Adjusted EBITDA was referred to as “cash EBITDA” in previous periods.

    • New offtake agreements for jet fuel and carbon abatement: In April 2025, Gevo signed a pioneering offtake agreement with Future Energy Global (“FEG”), under which FEG will acquire from Gevo the Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions credits from 10 million gallons per year of fuel to be produced at one of our planned alcohol-to-jet (“ATJ”) facilities. Additionally, we entered into an agreement with a separate undisclosed party for an additional five million gallons per year of SAF, without the carbon value or Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions credits attached. The carbon abatement for this additional 5 million gallons has been sold to a separate party, not the fuel buyer. Note that Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions credits are in addition to, and separate from, state and federal compliance credits. These offtake agreements are expected to be useful for financing our ATJ projects in South Dakota or North Dakota.
    • Verity: Verity is our wholly owned, data verification platform that enables traceable, audit-ready carbon abatement accounting across complex supply chains, supporting regulatory compliance and carbon market participation. In the first quarter of 2025, Verity announced agreements with two new customers, Landus and Minnesota Soybean Processors. These agreements provide access to those customers to track and verify sustainable agriculture attributes, while streamlining compliance reporting and auditability.

    2025 First Quarter Financial Highlights

    • Ended the first quarter with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $134.9 million.
    • Combined operating revenue and investment income was $30.9 million for the first quarter.
      • On a standalone basis, our RNG subsidiary generated revenue of $5.7 million during the first quarter of 2025. This reflects an increase of $1.7 million compared to the previous year, driven by increased LCFS credit generation due to our carbon score for the LCFS program, partially offset by reduced RIN prices. 
    • Loss from operations of $20.1 million for the first quarter.
    • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss1 of $15.4 million for the first quarter.
    • Sale of environmental attributes by our RNG subsidiary of $5.4 million for the first quarter.
    • Gevo RNG generated income from operations of $0.5 million, and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 of $2.7 million for the first quarter.
    • Gevo North Dakota generated income from operations of $1.1 million, and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 of $1.8 million for the first quarter.
    • Net loss per share of $0.09 for the first quarter.

    Management Comment 

    Dr. Patrick Gruber, Gevo’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We believe we can get to positive Adjusted EBITDA this year for the company. This is in spite of the perceived headwinds and noise in the marketplace. We have real products to sell now that we own our North Dakota plant. Gevo North Dakota produces ethanol, animal feed, corn oil, and importantly, carbon abatement. The carbon abatement value is generated by capturing CO2 and sending it more than a mile underground into what we think is the best well (or sequestration site) in the country. Having this carbon abatement available to us has opened up new doors in the marketplace as customers and partners don’t have to wait around for synthetic aviation fuel (“SAF”) projects to be built to start developing the market in a real sense. We have approval from the Internal Revenue Service to apply for the Section 45Z tax credit, so we will do that, and that should help meet our Adjusted EBITDA goals.”

    Dr. Gruber continued, “We continue to believe that SAF offers an excellent market opportunity. We see that jet fuel demand, beyond SAF, is expected to grow. We continue to believe that alcohol-to-jet offers the most scalable and lowest cost of production route. We need to get plants financed and deployed. To that end, we are doing a few things. First, we continue to be engaged with the U.S. Department of Energy on financing our ATJ-60 project, which we believe advances the stated objectives of the White House to produce more home-made energy including ethanol, biofuels and jet fuel. Second, we are translating the designs and engineering from the ATJ-60 to deploy an ATJ plant that can produce 30 million gallons per year of jet fuel at our Gevo North Dakota site (“ATJ-30”). We expect that this ATJ-30 plant will be near-fully modularized to minimize cost, construction, and start-up risks, and be able to be deployed sooner than or on a similar timeframe as ATJ-60. We already have more than 50% of the capacity of the ATJ-30 sold. Third, by driving down capital costs, we expect that there will be several opportunities for us to “sell” plants, and license our technology portfolio in the future.”

    “Unlike other companies in the ATJ space,” Dr. Gruber added, “we are using tried and true, proven at scale, unit operations to produce jet fuel. We figured out how to optimize them, integrate them, and make the jet fuel product in extremely high yield, with low production cost and a very low CI score. We have more than 100 patents covering the business system and technologies for ethanol to jet fuel and other hydrocarbons. We are pleased that Axens, who is the preeminent supplier of the various unit operations needed to make jet fuel from ethylene, including winning a Nobel prize for the trickiest step, has taken a license from Gevo for advanced ATJ processes. We are continuing to strengthen our partnership with Axens.”

    “We are also aligning our strategic goals with fiscal discipline measures that should further enable our conservation of cash and realization of our target Adjusted EBITDA growth and strong fiscal year performance.”

    Dr. Gruber concluded, “I like our position: we have operating assets that contribute Adjusted EBITDA, we have mature jet fuel projects, we have one of the few operating carbon capture and sequestration operations, we are developing markets with advanced carbon sequestration operations, we have a terrific site in North Dakota to build out capacity for jet fuel and other products, and we have a strong proprietary position given our patents and know-how.”

    2025 First Quarter Financial Results

    Operating revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating revenue increased by $25.1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to $22.8 million in revenue from Gevo North Dakota in the two months we have owned it, $1.7 million in additional revenue from our RNG project driven by an increase in LCFS credits generated due to our improved carbon score for the LCFS program offset by a decline in RIN prices, and $0.5 million from the sale of isooctane. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold 79,963 MMBtu of RNG from our RNG project, resulting in $0.3 million in RNG sales and $5.4 million in environmental attribute sales.

    Cost of production. Cost of production increased $18.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to $21.7 million from Gevo North Dakota, partially offset by $3.6 million of future corn basis gains.

    Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to $3.5 million of depreciation related to Gevo North Dakota, partially offset by a $2.6 million reduction of depreciation related to assets fully depreciated at our facility in Luverne, Minnesota (the “Luverne Facility”).

    Research and development expense. Research and development expenses decreased $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to decreased consulting expenses and professional fees.

    General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense decreased $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation, partially offset by $0.5 million higher employee costs, $0.2 million increase in insurance costs and $0.2 million increase in computer and software costs.

    Project development costs. Project development costs are primarily related to our ATJ projects and Verity, which consist primarily of employee expenses, preliminary engineering costs, and technical consulting fees. Project development costs decreased $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a $1.8 million wind-down fee incurred in 2024, partially offset by $1.1 million of additional employee related costs.

    Acquisition related costs. Acquisition related costs of $4.4 million are due to our acquisition of Gevo North Dakota.

    Facility idling costs. Facility idling costs are related to the care and maintenance of our Luverne Facility and reprocessing plant. Facility idling costs decreased $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to utilizing the reprocessing plant for isooctane production.

    Loss from operations. The Company’s loss from operations decreased by $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to increased revenues from Gevo North Dakota and the reduction of general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the acquisition related costs.

    Interest expense. Interest expense increased $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the debt used to acquire Gevo North Dakota and a higher interest rate on our remarketed RNG bonds.

    Interest and investment income. Interest and investment income decreased $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the usage of cash for the acquisition of Gevo North Dakota and to fund our capital projects and operating costs, resulting in a lower balance of cash equivalent investments during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net remained flat for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Gevo undertakes no obligation to update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although Gevo believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve many risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from what may be expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.

    Non-GAAP Financial Information

    This press release contains a financial measure that does not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, allocated intercompany expenses for shared service functions, and non-cash stock-based compensation from GAAP loss from operations. Management believes this measure is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to Gevo’s historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. In addition, Gevo believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it allows for greater transparency into the indicators used by management as a basis for its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under U.S. GAAP when understanding Gevo’s operating performance. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided below.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Chernyshenko: The main stage of the Unified State Exam will begin on May 23 in all 89 regions of Russia and 55 foreign countries

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    A meeting was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko on the issue of readiness to conduct the state final certification (SFC) for basic general and secondary general education programs in 2025.

    Its participants discussed the readiness of the subjects of the Russian Federation, including border territories and reunited regions, to conduct the Unified State Exam, Basic State Exam, and State Final Exam.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that, on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, changes were made to the federal basic general education programs. They will come into force on September 1, 2025. The main and unified state exams are synchronized with the programs.

    “Based on many years of accumulated experience, we see that competent organization of the exam at the local level is an important condition for good results. Over the past two years, according to the results of monitoring, Novosibirsk, Belgorod, Tambov and Leningrad regions, the Altai Republic, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Tatarstan, the federal cities of Sevastopol and Moscow have demonstrated a stable exemplary level of conducting the examination campaign. The heads of the regions must take personal control of key issues related to the conduct of the state final certification,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

    At the request of the Belgorod Region, in connection with the current situation, two additional days for exams were added to the Unified State Exam schedule: in mathematics – May 26, in Russian language – May 29. Graduates from the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, individual schools in border regions, as well as children who moved from these regions, can take the final assessment in the form of an interim assessment.

    “We believe that the early period of the Unified State Exam was held in the normal mode. On May 23, the main stage of the Unified State Exam will begin in all 89 regions of Russia and 55 foreign countries. Traditionally, the exam procedure itself requires special control. For this purpose, over 300 thousand specialized specialists, more than 6 thousand medical workers and about 40 thousand public observers will be involved in the examination centers. Since 2024, on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, graduates have the right to retake the Unified State Exam in one subject. This year, such retakes will take place on July 3 and 4,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

    All results of the State Final Attestation are necessarily entered into the federal information system.

    In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister paid special attention to the need to establish prompt interdepartmental cooperation with education authorities, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Energy, the Russian National Guard and the media for the smooth conduct of examination and admissions campaigns.

    “Our system is generally ready to conduct both the Unified State Exam and the Main State Exam. The main period of the OGE starts on May 21, and the main period of the USE starts on May 23. It is important that the order of the President of Russia on synchronizing programs and exam assignments has been fulfilled, they do not go beyond the educational program, and calendar-thematic planning has been included in the programs,” said Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.

    The head of the Ministry of Education noted that in 2025, an experiment to expand the availability of secondary vocational education will be conducted in Moscow, St. Petersburg and the Lipetsk region. By the end of May, the ministry will develop regulations for taking into account the results of control procedures (USE, OGE, VPR, diagnostic work) in the educational process. In June, the document will be sent to the subjects.

    The Minister of Education added that the share of those choosing the Unified State Exam in mathematical and natural science subjects will be 35% by 2030, with the planned figure for 2025 being 32%.

    Head of Rosobrnadzor Anzor Muzaev said that this year over 712 thousand people have registered to participate in the Unified State Exam, of which over 637 thousand are this year’s graduates. He focused the special attention of regional executive authorities on monitoring the technical readiness of all examination points, the readiness of the organizers, as well as ensuring the safety of all exam participants and those involved in their conduct.

    The head of Rosobrnadzor separately focused on this year’s changes. “This year, work was carried out to synchronize control measurement materials with federal state educational standards and federal educational programs. This is the President’s order, and it has been fulfilled,” said Anzor Muzaev.

    Rosobrnadzor also took into account a number of comments from members of the public and the deputy corps regarding the procedure for conducting the Unified State Exam. “We held a broad discussion and implemented these proposals in 2025. Rosobrnadzor’s methodological recommendations include detailed instructions for persons involved in admitting exam participants to exam points, as well as instructions for setting up stationary and portable metal detectors. We proposed actively involving parents of students, including representatives of parent committees, to monitor compliance with the rights of graduates during their admission and presence at exam points,” said Anzor Muzaev.

    Another innovation of the 2025 examination campaign is the ability to promptly report information about any violations in the Unified State Exam directly to Rosobrnadzor via the feedback platform on the public services portal. Each examination point has posters with a QR code, which can be used to send this information directly to a Rosobrnadzor employee so that any problems that arise are resolved as quickly as possible.

    Representatives of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian National Guard and all regions of Russia also took part in the meeting. Representatives of border regions separately reported on their readiness to conduct the state final certification: Deputy Governor of the Belgorod Region – Minister of Education of the Belgorod Region Andrey Milekhin, Acting Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Kursk Region Oksana Krutko, Acting Deputy Governor of the Bryansk Region Denis Amelichev.

    Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025

    Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.30 million, compared with $0.16 million a year ago.

    Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $4.7 million, compared to $3.3 million a year ago. The 2025 increase is primarily due to increased headcount investment in sales and R&D.

    Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $4.3 million, of which non-cash charges were $0.5 million, compared with a net loss of $3.1 million a year ago, of which non-cash charges were $0.8 million

    Loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.40, compared with $0.32 a year ago.

    Adjusted EBITDA loss was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $2.4 million a year ago. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss is primarily driven by the increase in headcount investment in sales and R&D. Please refer to Table 1 for reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure).

    Remaining Performance Obligation (RPO) as of March 31, 2025, was $13.85 million, of which $1.01 million is held as deferred revenue and $12.84 million is related to other non-cancellable contracted amounts, compared to RPO of $4.03 million as of March 31, 2024. The Company expects to recognize the full RPO of $13.85 million over the entire life of the contracts, which are typically signed with a 3-year term.

    The gross amount of Booked Annual Recurring Revenue or bARR, (a non-GAAP measure, as defined below), signed in the first quarter of 2025 was $0.01 million, down from $0.10 million of gross bARR a year ago. The net amount of bARR was negative $0.13 million compared to $0.10 million of net bARR signed in the comparable period in 2024. The Q1 bARR is comprised of $0 million in Committed Annual Recurring Revenue (cARR) and $0.01 million in estimated Usage Above Commitments (UAC).

    The net amount of bARR reflects the deduction of the bARR of contracts previously included in reported bARR, due to certain customers experiencing delays in Production Go-Live timing and volume ramping. See below for further definition and explanation of ARR and bARR, non-GAAP measures.

    A conference call and webcast will be held today at 5.00 p.m. EDT, hosted by authID Chief Executive Officer, Rhon Daguro and Chief Financial Officer, Ed Sellitto to discuss the financial results and provide a corporate update.

    Non-GAAP Financial Information

    The Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this statement. These non-GAAP key business indicators, which include Adjusted EBITDA, bARR and ARR should not be considered replacements for and should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.

    Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management.

    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude (1) interest expense and debt discount and debt issuance costs amortization expense, (2) interest income, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) stock-based compensation expense (stock options) and certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results.

    Please see Table 1 below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA – continuing operations to net loss – continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

    Management believes that bARR and ARR, when viewed with our results under GAAP, provide useful information about the direction of future growth trends of the Company’s revenues. We also rely on bARR as one of several primary measures to review and assess the sales performance of our Company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation. The Company defines Booked Annual Recurring Revenue or bARR, as the amount of annual recurring revenue represented by the estimated amounts of annual recurring revenue we believe will be earned under such contracted orders, looking out eighteen months from the date of signing of each customer contract. This estimate is comprised of two components (1) Committed Annual Recurring Revenue (cARR), which represents the minimum amounts that customers are contractually committed to pay each year over the life of the contract and (2) Usage Above Commitments (UAC), which represents our estimate of the rate of annual recurring revenue arising from actual usage of our services above the contractual minimums, that we believe the Customer will achieve after 18 months. The net amount of bARR reflects the deduction of the bARR of contracts previously included in reported bARR, which were subject to attrition, or other downward adjustments during the quarter.

    The company defines Annual Recurring Revenue or ARR, as the amount of recurring revenue recognized during the last three months of the relevant period as determined in accordance with GAAP, multiplied by four.

    bARR may be distinguished from ARR, as bARR does not take specifically into account the time to implement any contract for authID’s services, nor for any ramp in adoption, or seasonality of usage of our biometric products but is based on the assumption that 18 months after signing these matters will have been generally resolved. Furthermore, bARR is based on estimates of future revenues under particular contracts, whereas ARR, whilst also forward-looking, is based on historical revenues recognized in accordance with GAAP during the relevant period. A reconciliation of bARR to a GAAP measure is not provided as there is no comparable GAAP measure and we believe that any attempt at such reconciliation may be confusing to investors. bARR and ARR have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

    • bARR & ARR should not be considered as predictors of future revenues but only as indicators of the direction in which revenues may be trending. Actual revenue results in the future as determined in accordance with GAAP may be significantly different to the amounts indicated as bARR or ARR at any time.
    • bARR and ARR are to be considered “forward-looking statements” and subject to the same risks, as other such statements (see note on “Forward-Looking Statements” above).

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

In addition, we achieved GAAP operating loss improvement of 71% and non-GAAP operating loss improvement of 93%, or $0.4 million, which was ahead of our guidance for non-GAAP operating loss of $1.0 million. By almost all key measures, we delivered our best quarter as a public company, and I am proud of the tireless effort across the organization to achieve these results. As we look ahead to the balance of the year, we expect to deliver positive sequential revenue growth during the third quarter, sustain our non-GAAP operating break-even and move closer to positive cash flow,” said Matt Booth, CEO of Urgently.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we believe Non-GAAP Operating Expenses and Non-GAAP Operating Loss are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance. We use the non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which could reduce the usefulness of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein as a tool for comparison.

    A reconciliation is provided below for each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to our most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. We define Non-GAAP Operating Expenses as operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring charges (or income) such as transaction and restructuring costs. We define Non-GAAP Operating Loss as operating loss, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring charges (or income) such as transaction and restructuring costs.

    For a discussion of Non-GAAP Operating Expenses and Non-GAAP Operating Loss, please see the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Urgently’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by May 15, 2025.

    Forward Looking Statements

    This press release contains or may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Urgently’s future financial or operating performance. Such statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations of management of Urgently in light of historical results and trends, current conditions and potential future developments, and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates and expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking terms such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “project,” “predict,” “target,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate” or “expect” or the negative of these words or other words, terms and phrases of similar nature are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements, other than historical facts, including, without limitation, statements regarding Urgently’s expected revenue growth, cash flow and non-GAAP operating loss break-even, and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements.

    There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements made in this press release and our earnings call, including but not limited to: risks associated with our ability to raise funds through future financings and the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our liquidity needs; our history of losses; our limited operating history; our ability to service our debt, comply with our debt agreements and refinance our obligations under such agreements, including by successfully deploying the capital from the new credit facility and repaying our new and existing debt facilities; our ability to retain customers and expand existing customers’ use of our platform; our ability to attract new customers; our ability to expand into new solutions, technologies and geographic regions; our ability to adequately forecast consumer demand and optimize our network of service providers; our ability to compete in the markets in which we participate; our ability to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our business; our ability to continue as a going concern; our ability to develop and maintain an effective system of internal controls and procedures and accurately report our financial results in a timely manner; our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; and expectations regarding the impact of weather events, natural disasters or health epidemics, including the war between Hamas and Israel, on our business. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, risks detailed in our filings with the SEC, including in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 14, 2025, as amended by our annual report on Form 10-K/A, which was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2025, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings and reports that we may file from time to time with the SEC. Forward-looking statements represent our beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

    Safe Harbor Paragraph
    This press release contains expressions of expectations, both implied and explicit, that are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, especially given the current turmoil in the banking and financial markets. These factors include the effects of depositors withdrawing funds unexpectedly, counterparties being unable to provide liquidity sources that we believe should be available, loan losses, economic conditions and competition in the geographic and business areas in which Private Bancorp of America, Inc. operates, including competition in lending and deposit acquisition, the unpredictability of fee income from participation in SBA loan programs, the effects of bank failures, liquidations and mergers in our markets and nationally, our ability to successfully integrate and develop business through the addition of new personnel, whether our efforts to expand loan, product and service offerings will prove profitable, system failures and data security, whether we can effectively secure and implement new technology solutions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, legislation and governmental regulation. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and we undertake no obligation to update those statements whether as a result of changes in underlying factors, new information, future events or otherwise. These factors could cause actual results to differ materially from what we anticipate or project. You should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statement, which speaks only as of the date on which it was made. Although we, in good faith, believe the assumptions and bases supporting our forward-looking statements to be reasonable there can be no assurance that those assumptions and bases will prove accurate.
