Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

OSWEGO, N.Y., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. (“Pathfinder” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PBHC) announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

The holding company for Pathfinder Bank (“the Bank”) reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $31,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $3.0 million or $0.47 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025 and $2.0 million or $0.32 per share in the second quarter of 2024.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights and Key Developments

The Company continued to undertake proactive measures in the second quarter to mitigate credit risk and enhance asset quality metrics for the long term. These included the July 2025 sale of $9.3 million in nonperforming and classified loans associated with one local commercial relationship for a pre-tax loss of $3.1 million recorded as a second quarter 2025 lower of cost or market adjustment to loans held for sale (“LOCOM HFS adjustment”), representing $0.40 per diluted share net of tax, as well as $2.6 million in net charge offs (“NCOs”) that are reflected in provision expense of $1.2 million.
Nonperforming loans declined to $11.7 million at period end, improving by 11.7% during the second quarter and 52.3% from June 30, 2024. Nonperforming loans also declined to 1.28% of total loans at period end, improving from 1.45% on March 31, 2025 and 2.76% on June 30, 2024.
Total deposits were $1.22 billion at period end, compared to $1.26 billion on March 31, 2025 and $1.10 billion on June 30, 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, total balances declined on reductions in higher-cost time and money market accounts, as well as regular municipal deposit seasonality. Core deposits grew to 78.47% of total deposits at period end from 78.31% on March 31, 2025 and 67.98% on June 30, 2024.
Total loans were $909.7 million at period end, reflecting the move of $3.2 million in balances to held-for-sale status for the July 2025 sale of nonperforming and classified loans, compared to $912.2 million on March 31, 2025 and $888.3 million on June 30, 2024. Commercial loans grew to $549.1 million or 60.4% of total loans at period end, compared to $542.7 million on March 31, 2025 and $527.2 million on June 30, 2024.
Net interest income was $10.8 million and net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.11% in the second quarter of 2025. Linked quarter results reflected 2024 interest recovered from loans removed from nonaccrual status and income from prepayment fees, adding approximately $347,000 to net interest income of $11.4 million and 10 basis points to NIM of 3.31%. Second quarter 2024 net interest income was $9.5 million and NIM was 2.78%.
The efficiency ratio was 65.66%, compared to 67.19% in the linked quarter and 74.36% in the year-ago period. The efficiency ratio, which is not a financial metric under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is a measure that the Company believes is helpful to understanding its level of non-interest expense as a percentage of total revenue.
Pre-tax, pre-provision (“PTPP”) net income was $4.2 million, compared to $4.2 million in the linked quarter and $2.8 million in the year-ago period. PTPP net income, which is not a financial metric under GAAP, is a measure that the Company believes is helpful to understanding profitability without giving effect to income taxes and provision for credit losses.

“Pathfinder’s more exacting approach to proactive credit risk mitigation continues to be implemented, with measures taken to proactively address certain loans experiencing credit deterioration resulting in elevated charge offs and the sale of nonperforming and classified commercial loans associated with a single in-market commercial relationship,” said President and Chief Executive Officer James A. Dowd. “These steps were taken as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance Pathfinder’s asset quality and resilience over the long term.”

Dowd added, “Growing our Central New York core deposit franchise remains an ongoing area of focus, as it continues to serve as a valuable source of low-cost funding for local, relationship-based lending opportunities with small- and middle-market businesses and consumers in our attractive regional markets.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Second quarter 2025 net interest income was $10.8 million, a decrease of $597,000, or 5.2%, from the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the linked quarter was due in part to approximately $347,000 of first quarter 2025 net interest income attributed to 2024 interest recovered from loans removed from nonaccrual status and income from prepayment fees.

A decrease in interest and dividend income of $259,000 from the linked quarter was attributed to average yield decreases of 22 basis points on loans, which benefited by 15 basis points from 2024 interest recovered from loans removed from nonaccrual status and income from prepayment fees in the first quarter of 2025. The interest and dividend income decrease was also attributed to 5 basis points on fed funds sold and interest-earning deposits, and 11 basis points on all interest-earning assets, partially offset by average yield increases on taxable and tax-exempt securities of 3 and 76 basis points, respectively. In addition, average loan balances declined by $4.9 million, while average balances of lower-yielding taxable securities increased by $18.5 million. The corresponding decrease in loan interest income and federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits was $566,000 and $21,000, respectively, partially offset by increases in taxable and tax-exempt securities income of $337,000 and $63,000, respectively. An increase in interest expense from the first quarter of 2025 of $338,000 was primarily attributed to a 5 basis point increase in the average cost of interest bearing deposits.

Net interest margin was 3.11% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3.31% in the first quarter 2025. The decrease of 20 basis points reflected lower average loan yields and higher average interest bearing deposit costs in the second quarter of 2025, as well as approximately 10 basis points of first quarter 2025 margin attributed to 2024 interest recovered from loans removed from nonaccrual status and income from prepayment fees.

Second quarter 2025 net interest income was $10.8 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 14.1%, from the second quarter of 2024. An increase in interest and dividend income of $160,000 was primarily attributed to average yield increases of 11 basis points on loans and a $25.9 million increase in average loan balances. The corresponding increase in loan interest income was $617,000. A decrease in interest expense of $1.2 million was attributed to reductions in the average cost of interest bearing deposits and total interest-bearing liabilities of 40 basis points and 45 basis points, respectively, as well as reductions in brokered deposits and short-term borrowings expense associated with paydowns of brokered deposits and borrowings utilizing a portion of the low-cost liquidity provided by core deposit growth.

Net interest margin was 3.11% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2.78% in the second quarter of 2024. The increase of 33 basis points reflected higher average loan yields and lower average deposit and borrowing costs in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the year-ago period.

Noninterest Income
Second quarter 2025 noninterest income includes the $3.1 million LOCOM HFS adjustment, with an after-tax effect of $2.5 million or $0.40 per diluted share. Nonperforming and classified loans associated with one local commercial relationship dating back to 2013, with an original principal balance of $9.3 million and a June 30, 2025 principal balance of $6.3 million were sold in July 2025 for $3.2 million to an undisclosed financial buyer.

Second quarter 2025 noninterest income totaled negative $1.5 million, reflecting the $3.1 million LOCOM HFS adjustment, and no longer includes contributions from the insurance agency business sold in October 2024. Noninterest income was $1.2 million in the linked quarter and $1.2 million, including $260,000 in insurance revenue, in the year-ago period.

Compared to the linked quarter, second quarter 2025 noninterest income reflected increases of $179,000 in debit card interchange fees and $6,000 in service charges on deposit accounts, as well as a decrease of $6,000 in earnings and gain on bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”). Compared to the linked quarter, second quarter 2025 noninterest income also reflected increases of $202,000 in net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities, as well as decreases of $8,000 in net realized losses on sales and redemptions of investment securities and $4,000 in loan servicing fees.

Compared to the year-ago period, second quarter 2025 noninterest income included increases of $50,000 in service charges on deposit accounts, as well as decreases of $11,000 in earnings and gain on BOLI, and $11,000 in debit card interchange fees. Compared to the year-ago period, second quarter 2025 noninterest income also reflected an increase of $559,000 in net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities, as well as decreases of $16,000 in net realized gains on sales and redemptions of investment securities and $15,000 in loan servicing fees.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, including $595,000 in costs associated with the East Syracuse branch acquired in July 2024 and excluding costs for the insurance agency business sold in October 2024. Noninterest expense was $8.4 million in the linked quarter, including East Syracuse branch costs of $577,000, and $7.9 million in the year-ago period, including insurance agency costs of $232,000.

Salaries and benefits were $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, in line with the linked quarter and increased $126,000 from the year-ago period. The increase from the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributed to the July 2024 East Syracuse Branch Acquisition, which had $116,000 of total salary and benefit expenses in the second quarter of 2025. Excluding the East Syracuse branch, salaries and benefits increased $10,000 from the year-ago period. This increase from the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributed to a $183,000 increase in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a $106,000 decrease in employee benefits, a $51,000 decrease in salaries and benefits expenses, and a $16,000 decrease in director compensation.

Building and occupancy was $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, decreasing $117,000 from the linked quarter and increasing $316,000 from the year-ago quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter reflected lower costs associated with building maintenance primarily related to snow removal. The increase from the first quarter of last year was primarily due to ongoing facilities-related costs associated with operating the East Syracuse branch acquired in July 2024.

Data processing expense was $667,000 in the second quarter of 2025, in line with the linked quarter and increasing $117,000 from the year-ago period. The increase from the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributed to the ongoing operations of the East Syracuse branch acquired in July 2024.

No FDIC assessment expense was recorded in the second quarter of 2025, due to modest over-accruals in prior periods, compared to $229,000 and $228,000 in the linked and year-ago periods, respectively. The Company anticipates more normalized FDIC assessments in the future and expects this expense to range between $220,000 to $230,000 per quarter in the second half of 2025.

Annualized noninterest expense represented 2.18% of average assets in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 2.33% and 2.19% in the linked and year-ago periods. The efficiency ratio was 65.66%, compared to 67.19% and 74.36% in the linked and year-ago periods, respectively. The efficiency ratio, which is not a financial metric under GAAP, is a measure that the Company believes is helpful to understanding its level of non-interest expense as a percentage of total revenue.

Net Income
For the second quarter of 2025, net income attributable to common shareholders was $31,000, or less than $0.01 per basic and diluted share. Linked quarter net income was $3.0 million, or $0.48 per basic share and $0.47 per diluted share. Second quarter 2024 net income totaled $2.0 million or $0.32 per basic and diluted share.

Statement of Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s statement of financial condition reflects total assets of $1.51 billion, compared to $1.50 billion and $1.45 billion recorded on March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Loans totaled $909.7 million on June 30, 2025, after $3.2 million in balances were moved to held-for-sale status for the July 2025 sale of nonperforming and classified loans, resulting in a decrease of $2.4 million or 0.3% from March 31, 2025. Total loans increased $21.5 million or 2.4% from one year prior. Consumer and residential loans totaled $362.1 million, decreasing 2.4% during the second quarter and increasing 0.2% from one year prior. Commercial loans totaled $549.1 million, increasing 1.2% during the second quarter and 4.1% from one year prior, despite the recent loan sale.

With respect to liabilities, deposits totaled $1.22 billion on June 30, 2025, decreasing 3.4% on reductions in higher-cost time and money market accounts, as well as regular municipal deposit seasonality, during the second quarter and increasing 11.0% from one year prior.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $124.4 million on June 30, 2025, decreasing $483,000 or 0.4% in the second quarter and increasing $1.1 million or 0.9% from one year prior. The second quarter 2025 decrease primarily reflects a $599,000 decrease in retained earnings, a $426,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), and a $542,000 increase in additional paid in capital. Noncontrolling interest, previously included in equity on the Statements of Financial Condition, was eliminated in October 2024 upon the sale of the Company’s 51% insurance agency ownership interest.

Asset Quality
The Company’s asset quality metrics reflect ongoing efforts the Bank is undertaking as part of its commitment to continuously improve its credit risk management approach.

Nonperforming loans were $11.7 million, or 1.28% of total loans on June 30, 2025, compared to $13.2 million or 1.45% on March 31, 2025 and $24.5 million or 2.76% on June 30, 2024. Continued improvement in nonperforming loans in the second quarter of 2025 primarily resulted from the recent sale of loans associated with one local commercial relationship dating to 2013.

NCOs after recoveries were $2.6 million or an annualized 1.14% of average loans in the second quarter of 2025, with gross charge offs for consumer loans, purchased loan pools, and commercial loans, offsetting recoveries in each of these categories. NCOs were $340,000 or an annualized 0.15% of average loans in the linked quarter and $66,000 or 0.03% in the prior year period.

Provision for credit loss expense was $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflecting NCOs in the period, partially offset by reductions related to quantitative and qualitative factors in the Company’s reserve model. The provision was $457,000 and $290,000 in the linked and year-ago quarters, respectively.

The Company believes it is sufficiently collateralized and reserved, with an Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) of $16.0 million on June 30, 2025, compared to $17.4 million on March 31, 2025 and $16.9 million on June 30, 2024. As a percentage of total loans, ACL represented 1.76% on June 30, 2025, 1.91% on March 31, 2025, and 1.90% on June 30, 2024.

Liquidity
The Company has diligently ensured a strong liquidity profile as of June 30, 2025 to meet its ongoing financial obligations. The Bank’s liquidity management, as evaluated by its cash reserves and operational cash flows from loan repayments and investment securities, remains robust and is effectively managed by the institution’s leadership.

The Bank’s analysis indicates that expected cash inflows from loans and investment securities are more than sufficient to meet all projected financial obligations. Total deposits were $1.22 billion on June 30, 2025, compared to $1.26 billion on March 31, 2025 and $1.10 billion on June 30, 2024. Decreases in total deposits primarily reflect reductions in higher-cost time and money market accounts, as well as regular municipal deposit seasonality. Core deposits grew to 78.47% of total deposits on June 30, 2025, compared to 78.31% on March 31, 2025 and 67.98% on June 30, 2024. The Bank continues to implement strategic initiatives to enhance its core deposit franchise, including targeted marketing campaigns and customer engagement programs aimed at deepening banking relationships and enhancing deposit stability.

On June 30, 2025, Pathfinder Bancorp had an available additional funding capacity of $124.5 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which complements its liquidity reserves. Moreover, the Bank maintains additional unused credit lines totaling $46.5 million, which provide a buffer for additional funding needs. These facilities, including access to the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window, are part of a comprehensive liquidity strategy that ensures flexibility and readiness to respond to any funding requirements.

Cash Dividend Declared
On June 30, 2025, Pathfinder’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share for holders of both voting common and non-voting common stock.

In addition, this dividend also extends to the notional shares of the Company’s warrants. Shareholders registered by July 18, 2025 will be eligible for the dividend, which is scheduled for disbursement on August 8, 2025. This distribution aligns with Pathfinder Bancorp’s philosophy of consistent and reliable delivery of shareholder value.

Evaluating the Company’s market performance, the closing stock price as of June 30, 2025 stood at $15.34 per share. This positions the annualized dividend yield at 2.61%.

¹ Although the Company owned 51% of its membership interest in FitzGibbons Agency, LLC (“Agency”) the Company is required to consolidate 100% of the Agency within the consolidated financial statements. The Company sold its 51% membership interest in the Agency in October 2024.
² The $3,169,000 consolidated gain on asset sale equals $1,616,000 associated with the Company’s 51% interest in the Agency plus $1,553,000 associated with the 49% noncontrolling interest.
³ The loss reflects a valuation adjustment “Lower-of-cost-or-market” adjustment on loans held for sale to their estimated market value based on active sale negotiations.
⁴ Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025 has been updated to $0.47, from the $0.41 reported previously.

Unless otherwise noted, all amounts in this release are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and comparisons shown are to the same period in the prior year.

Grew our footprint by 52 stores, including 40 stores acquired in Mexico on June 17, 2025.

CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK

Lachie Given, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This quarter showcased continued strong momentum in our business, disciplined execution from our team, and the scalability of our platform. We delivered record Q3 revenue and achieved all-time high PLO as demand remains strong for immediate cash solutions and secondhand goods. When combined with meaningful efficiency gains throughout the organization, we turned top-line momentum into exceptional earnings growth, as reflected by a 42% increase in adjusted EBITDA and 36% growth in diluted EPS.

“During the quarter, we grew our footprint by 52 stores, including 49 in LatAm and 3 in the US, 1 of which is a luxury store in Miami Beach. We continue to focus on strategic expansion to scale our business, as well as exceptional operating performance across geographies. In the U.S., disciplined expense management and store level execution drove a 32% increase in segment contribution. In Latin America, we delivered over 30% growth in contribution on a constant currency basis, resulting from both organic growth and a partial quarter benefit from acquired stores.

“Our recently strengthened balance sheet with $472 million in liquidity enables us to fund accelerated growth, organically and through strategic acquisitions. Our pipeline of M&A prospects is compelling, and we are ideally positioned to capitalize on attractive scale opportunities. Looking ahead, we remain highly focused on disciplined capital allocation, operational excellence, and delivering long-term value for our shareholders.”

Total revenues increased 11% and gross profit increased 10%, reflecting improved pawn service charge (PSC) revenues due to higher average PLO.
PSC increased 7% as a result of higher average PLO.
Merchandise sales gross margin remained consistent at 36%. Aged general merchandise improved to 2.3% of total general merchandise inventory, down 83 basis points.

General and administrative expenses increased 9% primarily due to labor, with approximately 50% due to long term incentive compensation.

PLO ended the quarter at $221.1 million, an increase of 11% on a total and same-store basis due to increase in average loan size, strong loan demand and improved operational performance.

Aged general merchandise decreased by 260 basis points to 2.5%, or $1.2 million of total general merchandise inventory. Excluding our Max Pawn luxury stores, aged general merchandise was 1.8%.

PSC increased to $31.4 million, an increase of 3% (13% on a constant currency basis) as a result of higher average PLO.

Store expenses increased 1% (12% increase on a constant currency basis) and decreased 3% on a same-store basis (7% increase on a constant currency basis). The constant currency increase was due primarily to increased labor, in line with store activity and minimum wage increases.
Segment contribution increased 20% to $12.4 million (30% on a constant currency basis to $13.5 million).

Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with accounting U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we provide certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency (“constant currency”) and adjusted basis. We use constant currency results to evaluate our Latin America Pawn operations, which are denominated primarily in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and other Latin American currencies. We believe that presentation of constant currency and adjusted results is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations and reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. We use this non-GAAP financial information primarily to evaluate and compare operating results across accounting periods.

Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations items denominated in local currency to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. In addition, we have an equity method investment that is denominated in Australian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars. We used the end-of-period rate for balance sheet items and the average closing daily exchange rate on a monthly basis during the appropriate period for statement of operations items. The end-of-period and approximate average exchange rates for each applicable currency as compared to U.S. dollars as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

	June 30,		Three Months Ended June 30,		Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2025	2024	2025	2024	2025	2024

Mexican peso	18.8	18.3	19.5	17.2	20.0	17.3
Guatemalan quetzal	7.6	7.6	7.6	7.6	7.6	7.6
Honduran lempira	25.8	24.3	25.7	24.3	25.2	24.3
Australian dollar	1.5	1.5	1.6	1.5	1.6	1.5

Our statement of operations constant currency results reflect the monthly exchange rate fluctuations and so are not directly calculable from the above rates. Constant currency results, where presented, also exclude the foreign currency gain or loss.

MIL-OSI USA: Warner and Colleagues Release Joint Statement to Raise Alarm about President Trump’s Steep Concessions to Beijing

US Senate News:

Source: United States Senator for Commonwealth of Virginia Mark R Warner

WASHINGTON – Today, Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.), Ranking Senate Defense Appropriator Chris Coons (D-Del.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Senate Appropriations Vice Chair Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Senate Armed Services Ranking Member Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations Ranking Member Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Senate Armed Services Committee member Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Senate Intelligence Committee member Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Senate Armed Services Committee member Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), and Senate Subcommittee on National Security and International Trade and Finance Ranking Member Andy Kim (D-N.J.) released the following statement about public reporting that President Trump is pausing export controls on critical technology sold to China as part of an effort to secure a trade deal with Beijing:

“President Trump has spent the past six months eroding our advantages over China, but recent developments make clear how willing his administration is to sacrifice American economic and technological leadership for symbolic “wins” with China in its self-inflicted trade war.

“In just the last two days, we have seen reporting that the Trump administration has cancelled a long-planned high-level security dialogue with Taiwan and denied the president of Taiwan the ability to transit the United States—a longstanding tradition respected by administrations of both parties. These developments come right on the heels of a decision to pave the way for the sale of advanced AI chips to China and to freeze export controls on additional American technologies enabling them to now flow to China, even as Beijing tightens export controls on the United States. Independent media reports today suggest these moves are an attempt to secure trade concessions, curry favor with President Xi Jinping, and ensure President Trump gets a visit to China. The president is demonstrating to Beijing that he can be cajoled into giving up America’s core interests.

“In the face of lackluster domestic economic forecasts and anemic interest from Beijing in achieving a real breakthrough in talks, President Trump and his economic team have ceded leverage and negotiating power to Beijing in a desperate attempt to lure President Xi to a meeting with President Trump. Even more dangerously, they risk putting American national security, technological advantage, and economic prosperity on the chopping block in order to do so.

“President Trump is handing our primary geopolitical adversary the keys to the castle of 21st century global technological dominance. Doing so will enable Chinese leadership in artificial intelligence, infusing the Chinese military with the technological advantage it needs to continue hostile operations across the globe. He is signaling his ambivalence about standing with Taiwan, our long-term partner in the region and a powerhouse of the global economy. And he is emboldening Beijing to take aggressive actions and seek even more aggressive concessions in whatever trade negotiations may follow.

“President Trump and this administration must reset their dangerously weak approach to China and make clear they will no longer accept symbolic wins in exchange for steep American concessions. An administration convinced it can renegotiate the world order needs to stop negotiating against itself.”

LUXEMBOURG, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tenaris S.A. (NYSE and Mexico: TS and EXM Italy: TEN) (“Tenaris”) today announced its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 in comparison with its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Summary of 2025 Second Quarter Results

(Comparison with first quarter of 2025 and second quarter of 2024)

	2Q 2025	1Q 2025		2Q 2024
Net sales ($ million)	3,086	2,922	6%	3,322	(7%)
Operating income ($ million)	583	550	6%	512	14%
Net income ($ million)	542	518	5%	348	56%
Shareholders’ net income ($ million)	531	507	5%	335	59%
Earnings per ADS ($)	0.99	0.94	5%	0.59	68%
Earnings per share ($)	0.50	0.47	5%	0.29	68%
EBITDA* ($ million)	733	696	5%	650	13%
EBITDA margin (% of net sales)	23.7%	23.8%		19.6%

_{* EBITDA in 2Q 2024 includes a $171 million loss from the provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas. If this charge was not included EBITDA would have amounted to $821 million, or 24.7% of sales.}

In the second quarter, our sales rose 6% sequentially reflecting an increase in North American OCTG prices and stable volumes. EBITDA and net income also rose. Margins remained in line with those of the previous quarter as cost of sales rose 5%, principally reflecting product mix differences and higher tariff payments.

Our free cash flow for the quarter amounted to $538 million and, after spending $600 million on dividends and $237 million on share buybacks, our net cash position amounted to $3.7 billion at June 30, 2025.

Market Background and Outlook

Oil prices have softened as OPEC+ accelerates the unwinding of its 2.2 Mb/d voluntary production cuts and demand growth is subdued amidst a high level of economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Drilling activity, however, has remained relatively resilient, although there has been some reduction in oil drilling in the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia. Mexico, with the recent financing of Pemex, may start to recover some activity after its extended decline.

Following the recent increase in tariffs on imports of steel products from 25% to 50%, we expect U.S. OCTG imports to reduce from the high levels of the first half and U.S. OCTG prices to increase over time.

For the second half, as anticipated in our last conference call, our sales will show a moderate decline compared to the first half reflecting lower drilling activity and a lower contribution from line pipe projects. Our margins will also be affected by the recent increase in tariff costs.

Analysis of 2025 Second Quarter Results

Tubes

The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, sales volumes of seamless and welded pipes for the periods indicated below:

Tubes Sales volume (thousand metric tons)	2Q 2025	1Q 2025			2Q 2024
Seamless	803	775	4%	805		0%
Welded	179	212	(16%)	228		(21%)
Total	982	987	(1%)	1,033		(5%)

The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, net sales by geographic region, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

Tubes	2Q 2025	1Q 2025			2Q 2024
(Net sales – $ million)
North America	1,403	1,244	13%	1,439		(2%)
South America	531	552	(4%)	599		(11%)
Europe	215	208	3%	269		(20%)
Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa	771	761	1%	823		(6%)
Total net sales ($ million)	2,920	2,765	6%	3,130		(7%)
Services performed on third party tubes ($ million)	110	101	8%	102		7%
Operating income ($ million)	554	514	8%	459		21%
Operating margin (% of sales)	19.0%	18.6%		14.7%

Net sales of tubular products and services increased 6% sequentially and decreased 7% year on year. Sequentially, a 1% decline in volumes sold was offset by a 6% increase in average selling prices. In North America sales increased due to higher OCTG prices in the region and higher shipments to the US offshore. In South America sales decreased following a reduction in shipments to the Raia offshore project in Brazil compensated by the start of shipments for the Vaca Muerta Sur pipeline in Argentina and higher coating services in the Caribbean. In Europe sales were stable sequentially however year on year we had lower sales of offshore line pipe. In Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa sales were stable as we had lower sales in Saudi Arabia, compensated by higher sales of offshore line pipe and coating services in sub-Saharan Africa and for a gas processing plant in Algeria.

Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $554 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a gain of $514 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $459 million in the second quarter of 2024. Despite the increase in average selling prices margins remained in line with those of the previous quarter as cost of sales rose 5%, principally reflecting product mix differences and higher tariff payments.

Others

The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

Others	2Q 2025	1Q 2025		2Q 2024
Net sales ($ million)	166	157	6%	192	(14%)
Operating income ($ million)	29	36	(21%)	52	(45%)
Operating margin (% of sales)	17.3%	23.1%		27.3%

Net sales of other products and services increased 6% sequentially and decreased 14% year on year. Sequentially, sales increased mainly due to higher sales of oilfield services in Argentina, excess raw materials and energy sold to third parties which had a lower margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $484 million, or 15.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $457 million, 15.6% in the previous quarter and $497 million, 15.0% in the second quarter of 2024. Sequentially, the increase in SG&A is mainly due to higher services and fees, taxes, and other expenses.

Other operating results amounted to a loss of $6 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a gain of $6 million in the previous quarter and a $170 million loss in the second quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2024 we recorded a $171 million loss from provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.

Financial results amounted to a gain of $32 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a gain of $35 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $57 million in the second quarter of 2024. Financial result of the quarter is mainly attributable to a $54 million net finance income from the net return of our portfolio investments partially offset by foreign exchange and derivatives results.

Equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $33 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a gain of $14 million in the previous quarter and a loss of $83 million in the second quarter of 2024. These results are mainly derived from our participation in Ternium (NYSE:TX) and in the second quarter of 2024 were negatively affected by an $83 million loss from the provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas on our Ternium investment.

Income tax charge amounted to $105 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $81 million in the previous quarter and $138 million in the second quarter of 2024. Sequentially, the higher income tax charge reflects better results at several subsidiaries.

Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2025 Second Quarter

Net cash generated by operating activities during the second quarter of 2025 was $673 million, compared to $821 million in the previous quarter and $0.9 billion in the second quarter of 2024. During the second quarter of 2025 cash generated by operating activities includes a net working capital reduction of $26 million.

With capital expenditures of $135 million, our free cash flow amounted to $538 million during the quarter. Following a dividend payment of $600 million and share buybacks of $237 million in the quarter, our net cash position amounted to $3.7 billion at June 30, 2025.

Analysis of 2025 First Half Results

	6M 2025	6M 2024	Increase/(Decrease)
Net sales ($ million)	6,008	6,763	(11%)
Operating income ($ million)	1,133	1,323	(14%)
Net income ($ million)	1,060	1,098	(4%)
Shareholders’ net income ($ million)	1,038	1,072	(3%)
Earnings per ADS ($)	1.94	1.87	4%
Earnings per share ($)	0.97	0.93	4%
EBITDA* ($ million)	1,429	1,637	(13%)
EBITDA margin (% of net sales)	23.8%	24.2%

_{* EBITDA in 6M 2024 includes a $171 million loss from the provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas. If this charge was not included EBITDA would have amounted to $1,808 million, or 26.7% of sales.}

Our sales in the first half of 2025 decreased 11% compared to the first half of 2024 as volumes of tubular products shipped decreased 5% and tubes average selling prices decreased 7% due to price declines in North America. Following the decrease in sales, EBITDA margin declined from 26.7%, excluding a $171 million provision, to 23.8% and EBITDA declined 21%. While net income declined 4% year on year, earnings per share increased 4% following the reduction of outstanding shares due to the share buyback.

Cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to $1.5 billion during the first half of 2025, including a reduction in working capital of $250 million. After capital expenditures of $309 million, our free cash flow amounted to $1.2 billion. Following a dividend payment of $600 million and share buybacks for $474 million in the semester, our net cash position amounted to $3.7 billion at the end of June 2025.

The following table shows our net sales by business segment for the periods indicated below:

Net sales ($ million)	6M 2025		6M 2024		Increase/(Decrease)
Tubes	5,686	95%	6,421	95%	(11%)
Others	322	5%	342	5%	(6%)
Total	6,008		6,763		(11%)

Tubes

The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, sales volumes of seamless and welded pipes for the periods indicated below:

Tubes Sales volume (thousand metric tons)	6M 2025	6M 2024	Increase/(Decrease)
Seamless	1,578	1,582	0%
Welded	390	496	(21%)
Total	1,969	2,078	(5%)

The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, net sales by geographic region, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

Tubes	6M 2025	6M 2024	Increase/(Decrease)
(Net sales – $ million)
North America	2,647	3,028	(13%)
South America	1,083	1,216	(11%)
Europe	423	522	(19%)
Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa	1,532	1,656	(7%)
Total net sales ($ million)	5,686	6,421	(11%)
Services performed on third parties tubes ($ million)	211	294	(28%)
Operating income ($ million)	1,068	1,245	(14%)
Operating margin (% of sales)	18.8%	19.4%

Net sales of tubular products and services decreased 11% to $5,686 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $6,421 million in the first half of 2024 due to a 5% decrease in volumes and a 7% decrease in average selling prices due to price declines in North America. Average drilling activity in the first half of 2025 decreased 4% in the United States and Canada and 7% internationally compared to the first half of 2024.

Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $1,068 million in the first half of 2025 compared to a gain of $1,245 million in the first half of 2024. In first six months of 2024 our Tubes operating income included a $171 million charge for litigations related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas and a $39 million gain from the positive resolution of legal claims in Mexico and Brazil. The decline in operating results is mainly due to the decline in average selling prices and the corresponding impact on margins.

Others

The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

Others	6M 2025	6M 2024	Increase/(Decrease)
Net sales ($ million)	322	342	(6%)
Operating income ($ million)	65	78	(17%)
Operating margin (% of sales)	20.2%	23.0%

Net sales of other products and services decreased 6% to $322 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $342 million in the first half of 2024. The decline in sales is related to lower sales of sucker rods, coiled tubing and excess raw materials, partially offset by an increase in the sale of oilfield services in Argentina.

Operating results from other products and services amounted to a gain of $65 million in the first half of 2025, compared to a gain of $78 million in the first half of 2024. Results were mainly derived from our oilfield services business in Argentina and from the sale of sucker rods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, declined from $1,005 million in the first half of 2024 to $941 million in the first half of 2025, however they increased from 14.9% to 15.7% of sales. The decline in SG&A expenses is mainly due to lower taxes, labor costs and depreciation and amortization.

Other operating results amounted to a loss of $50 thousand in the first half of 2025, compared to a loss of $157 million in the first half of 2024. In the first six months of 2024 we recorded a $171 million loss from provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.

Financial results amounted to a gain of $67 million in the first half of 2025, compared to a gain of $32 million in the first half of 2024. While net finance income increased in the first six months of 2025 due to a stronger net financial position, foreign exchange results were negative, compared to the positive impact recorded in the same period of 2024. In the first half of 2024 other financial results were negatively affected by a cumulative loss of the U.S. dollar denominated Argentine bond previously recognized in other comprehensive income.

Equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $47 million in the first half of 2025, compared to a loss of $34 million in the first half of 2024. These results were mainly derived from our equity investment in Ternium (NYSE:TX) and in the first six months of 2024 were negatively affected by an $83 million loss from the provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas on our Ternium investment.

Income tax amounted to a charge of $187 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $223 million in the first half of 2024. The lower income tax charge reflects the reduction in results at several subsidiaries.

Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2025 First Half

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first half of 2025 amounted to $1.5 billion (including a reduction in working capital of $250 million), compared to cash provided by operations of $1.8 billion (net of a reduction in working capital of $276 million) in the first half of 2024.

Capital expenditures amounted to $309 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $333 million in the first half of 2024. Free cash flow amounted to $1.2 billion in the first half of 2025, compared to $1.5 billion in the first half of 2024.

Following a dividend payment of $600 million in May 2025 and share buybacks of $474 million during the first half of 2025, our net cash position amounted to $3.7 billion at the end of June 2025.

Exhibit I – Alternative performance measures

Alternative performance measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

EBITDA, Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

EBITDA provides an analysis of the operating results excluding depreciation and amortization and impairments, as they are recurring non-cash variables which can vary substantially from company to company depending on accounting policies and the accounting value of the assets. EBITDA is an approximation to pre-tax operating cash flow and reflects cash generation before working capital variation. EBITDA is widely used by investors when evaluating businesses (multiples valuation), as well as by rating agencies and creditors to evaluate the level of debt, comparing EBITDA with net debt.

EBITDA is calculated in the following manner:

EBITDA = Net income for the period + Income tax charges +/- Equity in Earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies +/- Financial results + Depreciation and amortization +/- Impairment charges/(reversals).

EBITDA is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

(all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)	Three-month period ended June 30,		Six-month period ended June 30,
	2025	2024	2025	2024
Income for the period	541,706	348,226	1,059,570	1,098,451
Income tax charge	105,342	138,147	186,684	223,003
Equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies	(32,651)	82,519	(46,686)	34,340
Financial Results	(31,663)	(57,183)	(66,921)	(32,421)
Depreciation and amortization	150,002	138,509	296,408	313,951
EBITDA	732,736	650,218	1,429,055	1,637,324

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a measure of financial performance, calculated as operating cash flow less capital expenditures. FCF represents the cash that a company is able to generate after spending the money required to maintain or expand its asset base.

Free cash flow is calculated in the following manner:

Free cash flow = Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities – Capital expenditures.

Free cash flow is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

(all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)	Three-month period ended June 30,		Six-month period ended June 30,
	2025	2024	2025	2024
Net cash provided by operating activities	673,147	935,201	1,494,147	1,822,178
Capital expenditures	(135,454)	(161,318)	(309,292)	(333,415)
Free cash flow	537,693	773,883	1,184,855	1,488,763

Net Cash / (Debt)

This is the net balance of cash and cash equivalents, other current investments and fixed income investments held to maturity less total borrowings. It provides a summary of the financial solvency and liquidity of the company. Net cash / (debt) is widely used by investors and rating agencies and creditors to assess the company’s leverage, financial strength, flexibility and risks.

Net cash/ debt is calculated in the following manner:

Net cash = Cash and cash equivalents + Other investments (Current and Non-Current)+/- Derivatives hedging borrowings and investments – Borrowings (Current and Non-Current).

Net cash/debt is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

(all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)	At June 30,
	2025	2024
Cash and cash equivalents	572,289	850,236
Other current investments	2,482,514	2,452,375

Non-current borrowings	(4,361)	(21,386)
Net cash / (debt)	3,729,348	3,842,542

Operating working capital days

Operating working capital is the difference between the main operating components of current assets and current liabilities. Operating working capital is a measure of a company’s operational efficiency, and short-term financial health.

Operating working capital days is calculated in the following manner:

Operating working capital days = [(Inventories + Trade receivables – Trade payables – Customer advances) / Annualized quarterly sales ] x 365.

Operating working capital days is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

MIL-OSI: National Fuel Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Earnings and Announces Preliminary Guidance for Fiscal 2026

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — National Fuel Gas Company (“National Fuel” or the “Company”) (NYSE:NFG) today announced consolidated results for the third quarter of its 2025 fiscal year.

FISCAL 2025 THIRD QUARTER SUMMARY

GAAP earnings per share of $1.64 compared to a net loss $0.59 per share in the prior year.
Adjusted earnings per share of $1.64 increased 66% compared to $0.99 per share in the prior year. See non-GAAP reconciliation on page 2.
Exploration and Production adjusted operating results of $0.95 per share increased 157% versus the prior year, driven by lower per unit operating costs, higher realized natural gas prices, and strong well performance in the Eastern Development Area (“EDA”), which contributed to 112 Bcf of natural gas production, up 16% versus the prior year’s third quarter.
The Pipeline and Storage segment achieved several development milestones for expansion projects during the quarter with the announcement of the Shippingport Lateral Project and the receipt of FERC approval for the Tioga Pathway Project, which remains on track for a late calendar 2026 in-service date.
The Company generated $196 million in net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities during the third quarter.
The Company is revising the midpoint of its fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $6.80 to $6.95 per share and is initiating its fiscal 2026 preliminary earnings guidance which, based upon a NYMEX price of $4.00, is expected to increase 20% from fiscal 2025 (see Guidance Summary on page 7).

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

David P. Bauer, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Fuel Gas Company, stated: “National Fuel’s excellent third quarter reflects ongoing success across the Company. Our integrated upstream and gathering operations saw record production and throughput during the quarter and a continued improvement in capital efficiency, while our regulated Utility and Pipeline & Storage segments continue to see an uplift in earnings from recent ratemaking activities and organic investment opportunities.

“As we look forward to fiscal 2026, we expect to see significant earnings growth versus the prior year. This highlights the momentum in each of our businesses and the overall positive long-term outlook for natural gas. Strong well results in the EDA continue to confirm the depth of our best-in-class inventory and operational excellence in Northeast Pennsylvania, and underpin our mid-single-digit production growth expectations in the coming years. In addition, we have line of sight to further growth in our regulated businesses, supporting our 5% to 7% average annual rate base growth projections. Taken together, along with the broader tailwinds from growing demand for natural gas, National Fuel is well positioned to create meaningful value for shareholders in the years to come.”

RETURN OF CAPITAL UPDATE

During the quarter, National Fuel announced that its Board of Directors approved a 4% increase in the Company’s dividend for an annual rate of $2.14 per share. This is our 55^th consecutive year of dividend increases and the 123^rd year of consecutive dividend payments, demonstrating the Company’s commitment to returning cash to shareholders.

With respect to the Company’s share repurchase program, since March 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 2 million shares at an average weighted price of $59.70 per share. Consistent with our disciplined approach to capital allocation, which balances growth with return of capital to shareholders, during the quarter the Company paused repurchases as it evaluated various growth opportunities, preserving balance sheet flexibility.

FISCAL 2025 GUIDANCE UPDATE

National Fuel is revising its adjusted earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2025 to a range of $6.80 to $6.95. This updated range incorporates our third quarter results as well as lower expected realized natural gas prices for the remaining three months, which is largely offset by expected higher production and lower unit costs in the Exploration and Production segment. The Company is assuming an average NYMEX natural gas price of $3.25 per MMBtu for the remaining three months of fiscal 2025, which approximates the current NYMEX forward curve at this time.

The Company’s other fiscal 2025 guidance assumptions are detailed in the table on page 7.

INITIATION OF FISCAL 2026 PRELIMINARY GUIDANCE

The Company is initiating preliminary earnings guidance for fiscal 2026 which it is providing at various NYMEX prices:

NYMEX Assumption ($/MMBtu)	Fiscal 2026 Adjusted Earnings Per Share Sensitivities
$3.00	$6.35 – $6.85
$4.00	$8.00 – $8.50
$5.00	$9.75 – $10.25

2026 OUTLOOK

Seneca’s ongoing trend of improving capital efficiency is projected to continue in fiscal 2026 with capital expenditures expected to decrease by $20 million, or 4% at the midpoint, while production is expected to increase to a range of 440 to 455 Bcf, an increase of 6% at the midpoint.
Regulated segment earnings are expected to increase as a result of ongoing modernization investments which are supported by recent ratemaking efforts, driven by Distribution’s three-year New York rate settlement that continues through fiscal 2027 and additional margin related to the Pennsylvania modernization tracker, or DSIC (Distribution System Improvement Charge).
Combined Utility and Pipeline & Storage segment capital expenditures are expected to range between $395 and $455 million, an increase of $110 million from fiscal 2025 at midpoint of guidance, with continued investment in our longstanding modernization programs, as well as significant expansion-related spending on the Tioga Pathway and Shippingport Lateral projects driving meaningful rate base growth.

Additional details on the Company’s updated forecast assumptions and business segment guidance for fiscal 2026 are outlined in the table on page 7.

DISCUSSION OF THIRD QUARTER RESULTS BY SEGMENT

The following earnings discussion of each operating segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 is summarized in a tabular form on pages 8 and 9 of this report (earnings drivers for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 are summarized on pages 10 and 11). It may be helpful to refer to those tables while reviewing this discussion.

Note that management defines adjusted operating results as reported GAAP earnings adjusted for items impacting comparability, and adjusted EBITDA as reported GAAP earnings before the following items: interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, other income and deductions, impairments, and other items reflected in operating income that impact comparability.

Upstream Business

Exploration and Production Segment

The Exploration and Production segment operations are carried out by Seneca Resources Company, LLC (“Seneca”). Seneca explores for, develops and produces primarily natural gas reserves in Pennsylvania.

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,

Adjusted Operating Results	$	86,704		$	33,843		$	52,861

Adjusted EBITDA	$	202,488		$	128,535		$	73,953

Seneca’s third quarter GAAP earnings increased $198.7 million versus the prior year. GAAP earnings in the prior year included a non-cash, pre-tax ceiling test impairment of $200.7 million ($145.0 million after-tax) to write-down the carrying value of Seneca’s reserves under the full cost method of accounting. GAAP earnings also included the impact of unrealized losses related to reductions in the fair value of contingent consideration received in connection with the June 2022 divestiture of Seneca’s California assets.

Excluding items impacting comparability, Seneca’s adjusted operating results in the third quarter increased $52.9 million primarily due to higher realized natural gas prices and production, as well as lower per unit operating expenses.

During the third quarter, Seneca produced a Company record 112 Bcf of natural gas, an increase of 15 Bcf, or 16%, from the prior year. Two highly prolific Utica pads turned in line this year in the EDA’s Tioga County were the main drivers behind this increase in production.

Seneca’s weighted average realized natural gas price, after the impact of hedging and transportation costs, was $2.71 per Mcf, an increase of $0.43 per Mcf from the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher NYMEX prices and higher spot prices at local sales points in Pennsylvania.

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
(Cost per Mcf)		2025		2024	Variance
Lease Operating and Transportation Expense (“LOE”)	$	0.66	$	0.69	$	(0.03	)
General and Administrative Expense (“G&A”)	$	0.17	$	0.19	$	(0.02	)
Taxes and Other	$	0.08	$	0.08	$	—
Total Cash Operating Costs	$	0.91	$	0.96	$	(0.05	)

Total Operating Costs	$	1.53	$	1.67	$	(0.14	)

On a per unit basis, third quarter total cash operating costs were lower compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher production. LOE included $61 million ($0.55 per Mcf), or 83% of total LOE, for gathering and compression service fees paid to the Company’s Gathering segment to connect Seneca’s production to sales points along interstate pipelines. DD&A for the quarter was $0.62 per Mcf, a decrease of $0.09 per Mcf from the prior year, largely due to ceiling test impairments recorded in prior quarters that lowered Seneca’s full cost pool depletable base.

Midstream Businesses

Pipeline and Storage Segment

The Pipeline and Storage segment’s operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (“Supply Corporation”) and Empire Pipeline, Inc. (“Empire”). The Pipeline and Storage segment provides natural gas transportation and storage services to affiliated and non-affiliated companies through an integrated system of pipelines and underground natural gas storage fields in western New York and Pennsylvania.

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
(in thousands)		2025		2024	Variance
GAAP Earnings	$	28,857	$	30,690	$	(1,833	)

Adjusted EBITDA	$	67,019	$	68,221	$	(1,202	)

The Pipeline and Storage segment’s third quarter GAAP earnings decreased $1.8 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) expense. The increase in O&M expense was due largely to typical inflationary increases related to higher personnel costs and third-party contractors.

Gathering Segment

The Gathering segment’s operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Midstream Company, LLC’s limited liability companies. The Gathering segment constructs, owns and operates natural gas gathering pipelines and compression facilities in the Appalachian region, which delivers Seneca and other non-affiliated Appalachian production to the interstate pipeline system.

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
(in thousands)		2025		2024	Variance
GAAP Earnings	$	29,996	$	24,979	$	5,017

Adjusted EBITDA	$	55,923	$	47,631	$	8,292

The Gathering segment’s third quarter GAAP earnings increased $5.0 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher operating revenues, which increased $7.8 million, or 13%, primarily due to an increase in throughput from Seneca’s new wells located in Tioga County.

Downstream Business

Utility Segment

The Utility segment operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation (“Distribution Corporation”), which sells or transports natural gas to customers located in western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania.

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
(in thousands)		2025		2024	Variance
GAAP Earnings	$	4,997	$	2,559	$	2,438

Adjusted EBITDA	$	25,743	$	21,047	$	4,696

The Utility segment’s third quarter GAAP earnings increased $2.4 million, or 95%, primarily as a result of new rates approved in the Utility’s New York rate case settlement, which became effective October 1, 2024, partially offset by higher operating costs and interest expense.

For the quarter, customer margin (operating revenues less purchased gas sold) increased $8.4 million, primarily due to an increase in customer usage, due in part to colder weather, as well as an increase in rates as part of the New York rate case settlement. Other income increased $4.0 million, largely due to the New York rate settlement, which required the recognition of non-service pension and post-retirement benefit income and a corresponding reduction in new base rates, resulting in no effect on net income.

O&M expense increased $2.7 million primarily driven by higher personnel costs, partially offset by a reduction in uncollectible expenses as a result of a tracker implemented as part of the New York rate case settlement. DD&A expense increased by $1.6 million primarily due to higher average depreciable plant in service compared to the prior year. Further, interest expense increased $2.5 million primarily due to a higher average amount of net borrowings.

Corporate and All Other

The Company’s operations that are included in Corporate and All Other generated a combined net loss of $0.7 million, which was largely consistent with the prior year.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

GUIDANCE SUMMARY

As discussed on page 2, the Company is revising its adjusted earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2025. Additional details on the Company’s forecast assumptions and business segment guidance are outlined in the table below.

The revised adjusted earnings per share guidance range excludes certain items that impacted the comparability of adjusted operating results during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, including: (1) the after tax impairment of assets, which reduced earnings by $1.14 per share; (2) after-tax premiums paid on early redemptions of debt, which reduced earnings by $0.02 per share; (3) after-tax unrealized losses on a derivative asset, which reduced earnings by $0.01 per share; and (4) after-tax unrealized losses on other investments, which reduced earnings by $0.02 per share. While the Company expects to record certain adjustments to unrealized gain or loss on investments during the remaining three months ending September 30, 2025, the amounts of these and other potential adjustments are not reasonably determinable at this time. As such, the Company is unable to provide earnings guidance other than on a non-GAAP basis.

NATIONAL FUEL GAS COMPANY
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release contains information regarding adjusted operating results, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternative method for assessing the Company’s ongoing operating results or liquidity and for comparing the Company’s financial performance to other companies. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for the same purpose, and for planning and forecasting purposes. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be a substitute for financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

Management defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less net cash used in investing activities, adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of any projected free cash flow measure to its comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts. This is due to an inability to calculate the comparable GAAP projected metrics, including operating income and total production costs, given the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items.

MIL-OSI: EZCORP Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

AUSTIN, Texas, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW), a leading provider of pawn transactions in the United States and Latin America, today announced results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Unless otherwise noted, all amounts in this release are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and comparisons shown are to the same period in the prior year.

THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Pawn loans outstanding (PLO) increased 11% to $291.6 million.
Net income increased 48% to $26.5 million. On an adjusted basis¹, net income increased 46% to $25.2 million.
Diluted earnings per share increased 36% to $0.34. On an adjusted basis, diluted earnings per share increased 38% to $0.33.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 42% to $45.2 million.
Total revenues increased 11% to $311.0 million, while gross profit increased 10% to $183.6 million.
Grew our footprint by 52 stores, including 40 stores acquired in Mexico on June 17, 2025.

CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK

Lachie Given, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This quarter showcased continued strong momentum in our business, disciplined execution from our team, and the scalability of our platform. We delivered record Q3 revenue and achieved all-time high PLO as demand remains strong for immediate cash solutions and secondhand goods. When combined with meaningful efficiency gains throughout the organization, we turned top-line momentum into exceptional earnings growth, as reflected by a 42% increase in adjusted EBITDA and 36% growth in diluted EPS.

“During the quarter, we grew our footprint by 52 stores, including 49 in LatAm and 3 in the US, 1 of which is a luxury store in Miami Beach. We continue to focus on strategic expansion to scale our business, as well as exceptional operating performance across geographies. In the U.S., disciplined expense management and store level execution drove a 32% increase in segment contribution. In Latin America, we delivered over 30% growth in contribution on a constant currency basis, resulting from both organic growth and a partial quarter benefit from acquired stores.

“Our recently strengthened balance sheet with $472 million in liquidity enables us to fund accelerated growth, organically and through strategic acquisitions. Our pipeline of M&A prospects is compelling, and we are ideally positioned to capitalize on attractive scale opportunities. Looking ahead, we remain highly focused on disciplined capital allocation, operational excellence, and delivering long-term value for our shareholders.”

PLO increased 11% to $291.6 million, up $29.9 million. On a same-store² basis, PLO increased 9% due to increase in average loan size, continued strong pawn demand and improved operational performance.
Total revenues increased 11% and gross profit increased 10%, reflecting improved pawn service charge (PSC) revenues due to higher average PLO.
PSC increased 7% as a result of higher average PLO.
Merchandise sales gross margin remained consistent at 36%. Aged general merchandise improved to 2.3% of total general merchandise inventory, down 83 basis points.
Net inventory increased 31%, as a result of an increase in PLO, layaways and purchases and a decrease in inventory turnover to 2.4x, from 2.7x.
Store expenses increased 2% and 1% on a same-store basis.
General and administrative expenses increased 9% primarily due to labor, with approximately 50% due to long term incentive compensation.

Diluted earnings per share increased 36% to $0.34. On an adjusted basis, diluted earnings per share increased 38% to $0.33.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter was $472.1 million, up from $170.5 million as of September 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to $300.0 million (less issuance costs) from the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2032 offset by an increase in earning assets.

SEGMENT RESULTS

U.S. Pawn

PLO ended the quarter at $221.1 million, an increase of 11% on a total and same-store basis due to increase in average loan size, strong loan demand and improved operational performance.
Total revenues increased 11% and gross profit increased 12%, driven by increased PSC, merchandise sales and scrap sales.
PSC increased 8% as a result of higher average PLO, partially offset by lower PLO yield.
Merchandise sales increased 4%, on a total and same-store basis, and sales gross margin increased by 80 bps to 38.5%. Aged general merchandise decreased by 260 basis points to 2.5%, or $1.2 million of total general merchandise inventory. Excluding our Max Pawn luxury stores, aged general merchandise was 1.8%.
Net inventory increased 36% due to increase in PLO, layaways and purchases and a decrease in inventory turnover to 2.1x, from 2.6x.
Store expenses increased 3% on a total and same-store basis.

Segment contribution increased 32% to $47.6 million.
Segment store count increased by 3 to 545, due to acquisitions, including 1 luxury store in Miami Beach.

Latin America Pawn

PLO improved to $70.6 million, an increase of 13% (16% on constant currency basis). On a same-store basis, PLO increased 2% (4% increase on a constant currency basis). The difference is driven primarily by our recent acquisition.
Total revenues increased 11% (21% on constant currency basis), and gross profit increased 6% (16% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to increased merchandise sales and pawn service charges.
PSC increased to $31.4 million, an increase of 3% (13% on a constant currency basis) as a result of higher average PLO.
Merchandise sales increased 12% (23% on constant currency basis) and increased 8% on a same-store basis (19% increase on a constant currency basis). Merchandise sales gross margin decreased to 31% from 32%. Aged general merchandise increased to 2.2% from 0.9% of total general merchandise inventory.
Net inventory increased 18% (21% on a constant currency basis) due to an increase in PLO and decrease in inventory turnover to 3.0x, from 3.1x. On a same-store basis, net inventory increased by 10% (13% on a constant currency basis). The difference is driven primarily by our recent acquisition.
Store expenses increased 1% (12% increase on a constant currency basis) and decreased 3% on a same-store basis (7% increase on a constant currency basis). The constant currency increase was due primarily to increased labor, in line with store activity and minimum wage increases.
Segment contribution increased 20% to $12.4 million (30% on a constant currency basis to $13.5 million).
Segment store count increased by 49 to 791, primarily due to the acquisition of 40 stores, the addition of 10 de novo stores and the consolidation of 1 store.

Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with accounting U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we provide certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency (“constant currency”) and adjusted basis. We use constant currency results to evaluate our Latin America Pawn operations, which are denominated primarily in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and other Latin American currencies. We believe that presentation of constant currency and adjusted results is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations and reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. We use this non-GAAP financial information primarily to evaluate and compare operating results across accounting periods.

Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations items denominated in local currency to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. In addition, we have an equity method investment that is denominated in Australian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars. We used the end-of-period rate for balance sheet items and the average closing daily exchange rate on a monthly basis during the appropriate period for statement of operations items. The end-of-period and approximate average exchange rates for each applicable currency as compared to U.S. dollars as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

	June 30,		Three Months Ended June 30,		Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2025	2024	2025	2024	2025	2024

Mexican peso	18.8	18.3	19.5	17.2	20.0	17.3
Guatemalan quetzal	7.6	7.6	7.6	7.6	7.6	7.6
Honduran lempira	25.8	24.3	25.7	24.3	25.2	24.3
Australian dollar	1.5	1.5	1.6	1.5	1.6	1.5

Our statement of operations constant currency results reflect the monthly exchange rate fluctuations and so are not directly calculable from the above rates. Constant currency results, where presented, also exclude the foreign currency gain or loss.

SUGAR LAND, Texas, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI, “CVR Energy” or the “Company”) today announced second quarter 2025 net loss attributable to CVR Energy stockholders of $114 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2024 net income attributable to CVR Energy stockholders of $21 million, or 21 cents per diluted share. Adjusted loss for the second quarter of 2025 was 23 cents per diluted share, compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of 9 cents in the second quarter of 2024. Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $90 million, compared to net income of $38 million in the second quarter of 2024. Second quarter 2025 EBITDA loss was $24 million, compared to second quarter 2024 EBITDA of $103 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $99 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $87 million in the second quarter of 2024.

“CVR Energy’s 2025 second quarter earnings results for its refining business were impacted by an $89 million unfavorable mark-to-market impact on its outstanding Renewable Fuel Standard obligation as well as reduced throughput volumes while we ran off intermediate inventory following the completion of the planned turnaround at the Coffeyville refinery,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“CVR Partners achieved solid operating results for the second quarter of 2025, with a combined ammonia production rate of 91 percent,” Mr. Lamp said. “CVR Partners also was pleased to declare a second quarter 2025 cash distribution of $3.89 per common unit.”

The Company also announced leadership transition plans following Mr. Lamp’s notice of his intent to retire as President and Chief Executive Officer effective December 31, 2025. Mark A. Pytosh, the Company’s Executive Vice President – Corporate Services who also serves as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the general partner of CVR Partners, LP (“CVR Partners”), is expected to assume the role of President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of CVR Energy while continuing to serve in those same roles for CVR Partners’ general partner. Mr. Lamp is expected to remain on the Company’s Board of Directors and the board of directors of CVR Partners’ general partner.

“I would like to thank our employees, communities and stockholders for their support over the past several years. It has been a privilege to have worked closely with our strong management team to drive value throughout the organization, and I look forward to continuing to serve our companies as a member of the Board,” said Mr. Lamp. “Mark has been a strong leader for CVR Partners and for our midstream operations. We have worked closely together for many years, and I am confident he is the right person to build upon the foundations we have laid while driving CVR Energy and CVR Partners into the future.”

Mr. Pytosh joined the general partner of CVR Partners as a Director in 2011 and became President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2014. In January 2018, Mr. Pytosh was appointed Executive Vice President – Corporate Services of the Company with executive responsibility over the Company’s midstream operations. Prior to joining CVR Partners, Mr. Pytosh held senior financial roles in energy, power, solid waste and investment banking. Mr. Pytosh is expected to remain President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of CVR Partners’ general partner.

Mr. Pytosh commented, “Dave’s leadership, operating discipline and strong corporate values have inspired the Company. I look forward to building upon Dave’s incredible legacy while leveraging our operating platform and strong management team to position the Company for positive growth and maximizing value for all of our stockholders.”

On July 28, 2025, the Board appointed Brett Icahn as a director effective August 1, 2025, increasing the Board size to nine members.

Petroleum Segment

The Petroleum Segment reported a second quarter 2025 net loss of $137 million and EBITDA loss of $84 million, compared to net income of $18 million and EBITDA of $56 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the Petroleum Segment was $38 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $37 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Combined total throughput for the second quarter of 2025 was approximately 172,000 barrels per day (“bpd”) compared to approximately 186,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the second quarter of 2024. Throughput during the current quarter was lower primarily to allow processing of intermediate inventories built during the turnaround at the Coffeyville, Kansas, refinery which began in the first quarter of 2025 and was completed in April 2025.

Refining margin for the second quarter of 2025 was $35 million, or $2.21 per total throughput barrel, compared to $185 million, or $10.94 per total throughput barrel, during the same period in 2024. Included in our second quarter 2025 refining margin were unfavorable mark-to-market impacts on our outstanding Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) obligation of $89 million, unfavorable inventory valuation impacts of $31 million, and unfavorable unrealized derivative impacts of $2 million primarily related to Canadian crude oil positions. Excluding these items, adjusted refining margin for the second quarter of 2025 was $9.95 per barrel, compared to an adjusted refining margin per barrel of $9.81 for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in adjusted refining margin per barrel was primarily due to an increase in the Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread.

Renewables Segment

Effective beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and due to the prominence of the renewables business relative to the Company’s overall 2024 performance, we revised our reportable segments to reflect a new reportable segment: Renewables. The Renewables Segment includes the operations of the renewable diesel unit and renewable feedstock pretreater at the refinery in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.

The Renewables Segment reported second quarter 2025 net loss of $11 million and EBITDA loss of $5 million, compared to net loss of $11 million and EBITDA loss of $5 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the Renewables Segment was $4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $2 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Total vegetable oil throughput for the second quarter of 2025 was approximately 155,000 gallons per day (“gpd”), compared to approximately 127,000 gpd for the second quarter of 2024.

Renewables margin was $5 million, or $0.38 per vegetable oil throughput gallon, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $5 million, or 43 cents per vegetable oil throughput gallon, for the second quarter of 2024. Factors contributing to our second quarter 2025 renewables margin were higher net sales of $13 million resulting from increased production and sales volumes, increased renewable diesel yield due to improved catalyst performance, and increased biomass-based diesel RIN and LCFS credit prices in the current period, partially offset by the loss of the BTC in the current period and a decrease in average CARB ULSD prices of 24 cents per gallon. Higher net sales were partially offset by higher cost of sales of $12 million due to an increase in throughput and production volumes.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment

The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment reported net income of $39 million and EBITDA of $67 million on net sales of $169 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $26 million and EBITDA of $54 million on net sales of $133 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Production at CVR Partners, LP’s (“CVR Partners”) fertilizer facilities decreased compared to the second quarter of 2024, producing a combined 197,000 tons of ammonia during the second quarter of 2025, of which 54,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 321,000 tons of urea ammonia nitrate (“UAN”). During the second quarter of 2024, the fertilizer facilities produced a combined 221,000 tons of ammonia, of which 69,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 337,000 tons of UAN.

For the second quarter 2025, average realized gate prices for ammonia and UAN were up 14 percent and 18 percent, respectively, over the prior year to $593 and $317 per ton, respectively. Average realized gate prices for ammonia and UAN were $520 and $268 per ton, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024.

Corporate and Other

The Company reported an income tax benefit of $42 million, or 31.7 percent of loss before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to an income tax benefit of $26 million, or (219.7) percent of income before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to a decrease in overall pretax earnings while the change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in pretax earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest and the impact of federal and state tax credits and incentives in relation to overall pretax earnings.

Cash, Debt and Dividend

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $596 million at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $391 million from December 31, 2024. Consolidated total debt and finance lease obligations were $1.9 billion at June 30, 2025, including $570 million held by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment.

On June 30, 2025, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Term Loan Borrowers”) prepaid $70 million in principal of the senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), in addition to required principal and interest payments as set forth in the Term Loan. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a $1 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2025, related to the write-off of unamortized discount and deferred financing costs. Further, on July 25, 2025, the Term Loan Borrowers prepaid an additional $20 million in principal of the Term Loan, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

CVR Energy will not pay a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2025.

Today, CVR Partners announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner declared a second quarter 2025 cash distribution of $3.89 per common unit, which will be paid on August 18, 2025, to common unitholders of record as of August 11, 2025.

Non-GAAP Measures

Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, and reconciliations to those measures, to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the performance and liquidity measures defined below.

As a result of continuing volatile market conditions and the impacts certain non-cash items may have on the evaluation of our operations and results, the Company began disclosing the Adjusted Refining Margin non-GAAP measure, as defined below, in the second quarter of 2024. We believe the presentation of this non-GAAP measure is meaningful to compare our operating results between periods and better aligns with our peer companies. All prior periods presented have been conformed to the definition below.

The following are non-GAAP measures we present for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

EBITDA – Consolidated net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.

Petroleum EBITDA, Renewables EBITDA, and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA – Segment net income (loss) before segment (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), and (iii) depreciation and amortization.

Refining Margin – The difference between our Petroleum Segment net sales and cost of materials and other.

Adjusted Refining Margin – Refining Margin adjusted for certain significant noncash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our underlying operational results of the period or that may obscure results and trends we deem useful.

Refining Margin and Adjusted Refining Margin, per Throughput Barrel – Refining Margin and Adjusted Refining Margin divided by the total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.

Direct Operating Expenses per Throughput Barrel – Direct operating expenses for our Petroleum Segment divided by total throughput barrels for the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.

Renewables Margin – The difference between our Renewables Segment net sales and cost of materials and other.

Adjusted Renewables Margin – Renewables Margin adjusted for certain significant noncash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our underlying operational results of the period or that may obscure results and trends we deem useful.

Renewables Margin and Adjusted Renewables Margin, per Vegetable Oil Throughput Gallon – Renewables Margin and Adjusted Renewables Margin divided by the total vegetable oil throughput gallons for the period, which is calculated as total vegetable oil throughput gallons per day times the number of days in the period.

Direct Operating Expenses per Vegetable Oil Throughput Gallon – Direct operating expenses for our Renewables Segment divided by total vegetable oil throughput gallons for the period, which is calculated as total vegetable oil throughput gallons per day times the number of days in the period.

Adjusted EBITDA, Petroleum Adjusted EBITDA, Renewables Adjusted EBITDA, and Nitrogen Fertilizer Adjusted EBITDA – EBITDA, Petroleum EBITDA, Renewables EBITDA, and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our underlying operational results of the period or that may obscure results and trends we deem useful.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share – Earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends.

Free Cash Flow – Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures and capitalized turnaround expenditures.

We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the refining and fertilizer industries, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” included herein for reconciliation of these amounts. Due to rounding, numbers presented within this section may not add or equal to numbers or totals presented elsewhere within this document.

Factors Affecting Comparability of Our Financial Results

Petroleum Segment

Our results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable with prior periods or to our results of operations in the future due to capitalized expenditures as part of planned turnarounds. Total capitalized expenditures were $24 million and $3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $190 million and $42 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(1) Reflects our ammonia utilization rate on a consolidated basis. Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of CVR Partners’ facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. We present our utilization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and take into account the impact of our current turnaround cycles on any specific period. Additionally, we present utilization solely on ammonia production rather than each nitrogen product as it provides a comparative baseline against industry peers and eliminates the disparity of plant configurations for upgrade of ammonia into other nitrogen products. With our efforts being primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, this measure provides a meaningful view of how well we operate.

(“JD.com” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: JD and HKEX: 9618 (HKD counter) and 89618 (RMB counter)), a leading supply chain-based technology and service provider, today announced that it decided to make a voluntary public takeover offer, through a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary JINGDONG Holding Germany GmbH (the “Bidder”), to all shareholders of CECONOMY AG (“CECONOMY”) (XETRA: CEC), the parent company of leading European consumer electronics retailers MediaMarkt and Saturn, to acquire all issued and outstanding bearer shares in CECONOMY (the “CECONOMY Shares”) for a cash consideration of EUR 4.60 per share (the “Takeover Offer”).

The Bidder and CECONOMY have also signed an investment agreement regarding the Takeover Offer and their intended cooperation after completion of the Takeover Offer. Furthermore, regarding their future cooperation, the Bidder and CECONOMY’s largest shareholder group comprising Convergenta Invest GmbH and related shareholders (together, “Convergenta”) entered into a shareholders’ agreement, effectiveness of which is subject to the completion of the Takeover Offer. As a result, post the completion of the Takeover Offer, Convergenta will hold 25.35% of the CECONOMY Shares, reducing its current shareholding in CECONOMY from 29.16% by an irrevocable undertaking to accept the Takeover Offer with respect to 3.81% of the CECONOMY Shares. The Bidder has also entered into agreements with several shareholders of CECONOMY, under which those shareholders have irrevocably undertaken to accept the Takeover Offer with respect to 31.7% of the CECONOMY Shares in total (including 3.81% from Convergenta), securing a total shareholding of 57.1% in combination with the retained stake of JD.com’s future partner Convergenta ahead of the launch of the Takeover Offer.

CECONOMY is a European retail leader in the field of consumer electronics. Its main brands MediaMarkt and Saturn operate omni-channel retail businesses, combining strong e-commerce presence with more than 1,000 retail stores in 11 countries. Under the strategic investment agreement, the Company and CECONOMY aim to drive CECONOMY’s growth as a stand-alone business and accelerate CECONOMY’s transformation into Europe’s leading omni-channel consumer electronics platform. JD.com, renowned for its superior customer experience and industry-leading e-commerce logistics service standards, will contribute its advanced technology, leading omni-channel retail expertise, and logistics and warehouse capabilities to the partnership. This will strengthen CECONOMY’s capabilities and further develop its core business and capitalize on its market position. As part of the strategic roadmap, CECONOMY will remain a stand-alone business in Europe with a local independent technology stack, and no changes are planned to the workforce, employee agreements and sites. CECONOMY’s Supervisory Board and Management Board fully support the public Takeover Offer.

“This partnership with CECONOMY will build Europe’s leading next-generation consumer electronics platform,” said JD.com CEO Sandy Xu. “CECONOMY’s market-leading position, strong customer relationships and growth are impressive, and we are firmly committed to investing in its people and distinct culture to build on this success. We will work with the team to strengthen the capabilities, while applying our advanced technology capabilities to accelerate CECONOMY’s ongoing transformation. Our goal is to further grow CECONOMY’s platform across Europe and create long-term value for customers, employees, investors and local communities. We have full confidence in the management team of CECONOMY and look forward to working together to initiate the next phase of growth.”

CECONOMY CEO Dr. Kai-Ulrich Deissner said, “With JD.com’s outstanding retail, logistics, and technology capabilities, we can further accelerate our successful growth trajectory and go beyond our current strategic goals. Thanks to the tremendous dedication and commitment of our entire team, CECONOMY operates from a position of strength. Given the constantly evolving customer expectations and market dynamics, standing still is not an option. In the coming years, we don’t just want to keep pace with the transformation in European retail – we want to continue leading it. JD.com is the right partner for this. We share a passion for our customers and a firm belief that our employees, trusted partnerships with international brand manufacturers, and the combination of digital and brick-and-mortar business are the keys to success. We partner with JD.com to strengthen European retail, based on complementary strengths and shared values.”

“We fully support the strategic investment agreement and takeover offer and are confident that it represents the best opportunity to further drive the successful transformation of CECONOMY,” said Jürgen Kellerhals of anchor shareholder Convergenta. “The management team of CECONOMY has a clear strategic vision, and JD.com brings the resources and expertise required to accelerate the company’s (CECONOMY’s) next phase of growth. The technological expertise of JD.com is world-leading, as demonstrated by its success in other markets. As the long-term anchor investor, we believe this is the right step at the right time for the business, our employees, and our customers.”

The Takeover Offer will be subject to customary conditions, including, among others, merger control, foreign direct investment and foreign subsidies clearances. The Takeover Offer will not be subject to a minimum acceptance rate. The transaction will be financed through a combination of acquisition loan and the Company’s cash on balance sheet. The closing of the Takeover Offer is expected to take place in the first half of 2026.

The Offer Document (in German and a non-binding English translation) which will set forth the detailed terms and conditions of the Takeover Offer, as well as further information relating thereto, will be published by the Bidder following approval by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) on the internet at the website www.green-offer.com.

MIL-OSI: SEACOR Marine Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

HOUSTON, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SMHI) (the “Company” or “SEACOR Marine”), a leading provider of marine and support transportation services to offshore energy facilities worldwide, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

SEACOR Marine’s consolidated operating revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $60.8 million, operating income was $6.1 million, and direct vessel profit (“DVP”)⁽¹⁾ was $11.3 million. This compares to consolidated operating revenues of $69.9 million, operating loss of $3.9 million, and DVP of $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, and consolidated operating revenues of $55.5 million, operating loss of $5.3 million, and DVP of $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Notable second quarter items include:

13.0% decrease in revenues from the second quarter of 2024 and a 9.6% increase from the first quarter of 2025.
Average day rates of $19,731, a 3.1% increase from the second quarter of 2024, and a 4.8% increase from the first quarter of 2025.
68% utilization, a decrease from 69% in the second quarter of 2024 and an increase from 60% in the first quarter of 2025.
DVP margin of 18.6%, a decrease from 29.1% in the second quarter of 2024 and a decrease from 24.5% in the first quarter of 2025, due in part to $9.2 million of drydocking and major repairs during the second quarter of 2025 compared to $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, all of which are expensed as incurred.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company completed the sale of two platform supply vessels (“PSVs”) and one fast supply vessel (“FSV”) for total proceeds of $33.4 million and a gain of $19.1 million. Approximately $12.9 million of the proceeds were used to fund the repurchase of shares and warrants from Carlyle, and the remainder was held as restricted cash to partially fund future milestone payments for the construction of two new PSVs scheduled to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2026 and first quarter of 2027.

For the second quarter of 2025, net loss was $6.7 million ($0.26 loss per basic and diluted share). This compares to a net loss for the second quarter of 2024 of $12.5 million ($0.45 loss per basic and diluted share). Sequentially, the second quarter 2025 results compare to a net loss of $15.5 million ($0.56 loss per basic and diluted share) in the first quarter of 2025.

Chief Executive Officer John Gellert commented:

“The second quarter results reflect the changes to our fleet as we continued to implement our asset rotation and repositioning strategy.

Our PSV fleet saw substantial improvement on average rates and utilization, achieving a 30.3% DVP margin, even with two of our premium PSVs being out of the market the entire quarter for repairs; one of which also received a hybrid power management upgrade. The two PSVs that we sold during the quarter were sold at compelling values and were some of our first-generation handy size vessels targeting the shallow water market, which is seeing increased vertical integration in some geographic markets. PSVs contributed greatly to our results in Latin America and West Africa, as well as in the Middle East where we operate two of our PSVs in a walk-to-work configuration outfitted with motion compensated gangways owned by SEACOR Marine.

In the Middle East, the results were largely affected by repairs to one of our premium liftboats for almost the entire quarter. These repairs are ongoing as the scope and cost has exceeded our initial expectations, with the liftboat expected to return to service in September 2025. Despite these challenges, activity in the Middle East market continues to be healthy, and we recently mobilized an additional FSV to respond to market demand.

In the U.S., we saw a noticeable improvement driven mostly by higher day rates and utilization for our liftboats, offset by higher drydocking expense and the layup of our three FSVs in the region. We anticipate redeploying these FSVs to international markets during the third and fourth quarter of 2025.

As previously announced, on April 4, 2025, we repurchased shares and warrants representing 9.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, assuming the full exercise of the warrants, from Carlyle. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $12.9 million. This was a unique opportunity to buy back a significant number of shares and warrants in a single block, and to simplify our capital structure by eliminating all outstanding warrants.

We will continue to adapt and reposition SEACOR Marine into markets and assets with lower volatility and better returns over the coming quarters and ahead of our new PSV deliveries in 2026 and 2027. We have one of the youngest fleets in the sector and will continue to demonstrate the embedded value of our assets.”

Direct vessel profit (defined as operating revenues less operating costs and expenses, “DVP”) is the Company’s measure of segment profitability. DVP is a critical financial measure used by the Company to analyze and compare the operating performance of its regions, without regard to financing decisions (depreciation and interest expense for owned vessels vs. lease expense for lease vessels). DVP is also useful when comparing the Company’s global fleet performance against those of our competitors who may have differing fleet financing structures. DVP has material limitations as an analytical tool in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the ownership and operation of our fleet, and it should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for our results as reported under GAAP. See page 4 for reconciliation of DVP to GAAP Operating Income (Loss), its most comparable GAAP measure.

SEACOR Marine provides global marine and support transportation services to offshore energy facilities worldwide. SEACOR Marine operates and manages a diverse fleet of offshore support vessels that deliver cargo and personnel to offshore installations, including offshore wind farms; assist offshore operations for production and storage facilities; provide construction, well work-over, offshore wind farm installation and decommissioning support; and carry and launch equipment used underwater in drilling and well installation, maintenance, inspection and repair. Additionally, SEACOR Marine’s vessels provide emergency response services and accommodations for technicians and specialists.

Certain statements discussed in this release as well as in other reports, materials and oral statements that the Company releases from time to time to the public constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements concern management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expected by the management of the Company. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual events or results may differ significantly from these statements. Actual events or results are subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and are described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. It should be understood that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Given these risk factors, investors and analysts should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based, except as required by law. It is advisable, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K (if any). These statements constitute the Company’s cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

MIL-Evening Report: The Man from Hong Kong at 50: how the first ever Australian–Hong Kong co-production became a cult classic

Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Gregory Ferris, Senior Lecturer, Media Arts & Production, University of Technology Sydney

LMPC via Getty Images

A cinematic firecracker of a film exploded onto international screens 50 years ago this week, blending martial arts mayhem, Bond-esque set pieces, casual racism – and a distinctly Australian swagger.

From its audacious visual style; to its complex, life-threatening stunts; to its pioneering status as an international co-production, Brian Trenchard-Smith’s The Man from Hong Kong has solidified its place as a cult classic.

The plot is deceptively simple. A Sydney-based crime lord’s activities come under the scrutiny of a determined Hong Kong detective, Inspector Fang Sing Leng. A fiery East-meets-West martial arts showdown explodes across the Australian landscape, pushing both sides to their limits.

Jimmy Wang Yu (known at the time as Asia’s Steve McQueen) plays Inspector Fang Sing Leng. Fang delivers justice with his fists and uses his wits navigating greater Sydney, with help from the local constabulary and its adoring female population.

The movie is a playful pastiche that confidently combines martial arts action, police procedurals, spy thrillers, and Westerns, all filtered through a distinctly Australian “crash-zoom” lens.

An Australia–Hong Kong co-production

The Man from Hong Kong was the first official Australia–Hong Kong co-production, uniting Hong Kong’s Golden Harvest studio with Australian producer John Fraser.

This model would pave the way for numerous future collaborations – the film demonstrating that Australia was open for international (film) business, albeit with some constraints, such as shooting locales.

In The Man from Hong Kong’s case, the financial arrangement was 50/50. As a result, half of the film had to be shot in Hong Kong, despite 85% of the storyline being set in Australia. Many of the interiors were filmed in Hong Kong studios to meet this production requirement.

An example of this is the interrogation scene, which alternates between its Sydney exteriors and a fight scene taking place in the interior film set shot thousands of miles away at the Golden Harvest studios.

In a genius bit of montage, the scene jumps from a shot of a kick in the crotch to a close-up of pool balls breaking on a table.

A film of cunning stunts

The Man from Hong Kong served as a reunion of sorts for many of the cast and crew, either starring in Stone (1974) or featuring in Trenchard-Smith’s documentary about martial arts films, Kung Fu Killers (1974).

The film was an influence to Quentin Tarantino and paved the way for films such as Mad Max (1979), particularly in what Trenchard-Smith and his partner in film, stunt legend Grant Page, might call its “cunning stunts”.

The elaborate car chases and explosive stunt setups in The Man from Hong Kong served as prototypes for iconic sequences that would inspire the Mad Max films, among others, a testament to a bygone era of practical effects and thrill seeking audacity.

Car crashes and other explosive stunts were executed without permits or road closures. This sense of chaos is heightened by the stunts being performed by the actors themselves, adding a sense of immediacy and peril.

An example of this is set on the cliffs at Stanwell Park. Wang Yu drives at speed towards the waiting Caroline, executing a precision gravel slide that misses Caroline’s car by under a metre, the shot continuing as he exits the car to greet her.

Part character, and part tourism advert

Trenchard-Smith’s script wasn’t shy in its depiction of culture clash, especially when it came to the racist attitudes of the Australian characters.

But as Trenchard-Smith recalls:

Our lead character, a Chinese Dirty Harry/James Bond upends these racial stereotypes by being smarter, sexier, and tougher than his opponents.

Cinematographer Russell Boyd brings a sharp, dynamic (did I mention the crash-zooms?) visual style to the film that deftly matches the on-screen action.

The film’s Australian setting is part character and part tourism advert – from the “Ayers Rock” (Uluru) cold opener, to the cafe scene on the Opera House forecourt.

Pure cinema

Stunt legend Grant Page appears in multiple villainous roles throughout the film, with the martial arts choreography handled by the legendary director Sammo Hung, who also played the role of Win Chan.

The cast was a fascinating mix of talent and personality. Wang Yu, a martial arts icon, was also an established film director, leading to creative clashes on set with Trenchard-Smith.

Playing the film’s villain is George Lazenby, whose casting added another layer of meta-textual intrigue, positioning him as an antagonist to a character who was explicitly a Bond villain archetype.

The Man from Hong Kong remains an exhilarating piece of pure cinema, despite its relatively small budget. It’s an exemplar (and occasional cautionary tale) for filmmakers in terms of international co-production, its cunning stunts, and genre blending.

The film is a testament to a moment when Australian cinema was confidently looking outwards, ready to take on the world, one explosive car crash at a time.

MIL-Evening Report: How migrant business owners turn their identity into an asset, despite some bumps along the way

Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Shea X. Fan, Associate Professor, Human Resource Management, Deakin University

Odua Images/Shutterstock

Too often, it’s anti-immigration sentiment dominating headlines in Australia. But a quieter story is going untold. Migrants are not just fitting into Australian society, they’re actively reshaping it through entrepreneurship.

Starting a business is difficult for anyone. But migrant entrepreneurs often do so without the networks, credit history, or local knowledge many Australian-born business owners take for granted.

Our new research drew on interviews with 38 migrant business owners from 25 different countries, who had all lived in Australia for at least five years.

We found many are able to turn everyday exclusion into entrepreneurial fuel.
Many have been able to survive – even thrive – by turning their identity into an asset.

Yet there is still more we can do to take migrant entrepreneurship seriously and make it a core part of our economic and social planning.

Key challenges

Our research reveals migrant business owners face many forms of marginalisation. Some of these are well-understood among the public, others less so.

One of the biggest is social. Arriving in a new country without established relationships in the community or financial sector, many struggle to gain customer trust or secure loans. It can also mean having less of a safety net.

As one interviewee put it:

I don’t have networks built up over the generations to sustain me and give me time to jump back out [of financial difficulties] […] For migrant entrepreneurs, we often do not have such a structure to absorb risks.

Cultural stereotypes also hinder migrant entrepreneurs, and negative media portrayals can reinforce these biases. Even with local qualifications, they are often perceived as less professional or competent due to race, religion, accent or appearance.

Many interviewees spoke of constantly having to prove their legitimacy – being overlooked, second-guessed or treated as representatives of their ethnic group rather than as individual business people.

Establishing social networks in a new country can be difficult.

Structural barriers

While the lack of networks and cultural acceptance undermines confidence and connection, structural barriers directly constrain access to the resources needed to survive and expand.

Without a local credit history or collateral, many are ineligible for loans, yet need those very funds to build their credit standing. Even long-settled migrants found Australia’s legal, bureaucratic and financial systems difficult to navigate.

Language barriers and unfamiliar regulations can add layers of complexity to this problem. While government support programs exist, they are often inaccessible, or the availability of those programs are poorly communicated to culturally diverse communities.

These social and systemic disadvantages can push migrant business owners into informal markets or ethnic enclaves, where opportunities are fewer and risks higher.

Turning identity into an asset

Despite these barriers, migrant entrepreneurs often find ways to survive. One key strategy is to turn marginalised identities into business strengths.

Our research found some migrants begin by serving customers from their own ethnic communities, leveraging shared language, culture and trust. Once established, they expand to other migrant groups or the broader public.

In sectors such as food, fashion and wellness, cultural authenticity can be a competitive advantage.

One hairdresser from Korea, for example, drew clients by offering Korean styling techniques popularised by the global rise of the Korean popular music style K-pop. She said this gave her work appeal among other migrant groups:

Korean hairdressers are actually attractive to other Asian countries because Korean hairstyles are considered fashionable and detailed. It’s getting popular here too. This is like free marketing for me.

One interviewee said her connection to Korea had turned into a business asset.

And rather than simply competing on price, many migrant businesses offer something different: handmade, ethical, sustainable or culturally-rooted products. An Indian small business owner started her business by selling curry pastes made from her own family recipes, telling us:

I use my family’s traditional Indian recipes to create small spice packs, making it easy for Australians, mostly non-Indian customers, to cook authentic dishes at home.

Such ventures create not only economic value, but also spaces of cultural exchange and community belonging.

There’s more we can do

The most recent figures show migrant entrepreneurs make up one in three small business owners in Australia. Research conducted in 2017 found the vast majority of migrant entrepreneurs had not owned a business before migration.

With fewer systemic barriers and better support, their potential to contribute would be even greater. There are a range of actions policymakers, local councils, support organisations and local businesses could take.

First, access could be expanded to small business grants by removing overly complex eligibility and documentation barriers.

We should also support migrants to navigate collectively “gatekeeping” practices that lock them out of lending, investment and business certification.

That could include developing alternative credit assessment tools for migrants without a local credit history. There are already some microloan schemes tailored to new migrants or visa holders, including Thrive Refugee Enterprise.

At the same time, we need to ensure such schemes are being effectively communicated to the communities they’re intended to serve.

And we need media narratives and public campaigns that highlight successful migrant businesses. Crucially, both policy and practice must be informed by the voices and experiences of migrant entrepreneurs themselves, not just as case studies, but as co-designers of better systems.

MIL-OSI Banking: Oil and Natural Gas Trades Support Bipartisan SPEED Act for Permitting Reform

Source: Independent Petroleum Association of America

Headline: Oil and Natural Gas Trades Support Bipartisan SPEED Act for Permitting Reform

Jul 30, 2025 Oil and Natural Gas Trades Support Bipartisan SPEED Act for Permitting Reform

WASHINGTON — A group of eight oil and natural gas trade associations today highlighted their strong support for the bipartisan “Standardized Permitting and Expediting Development Act” (SPEED Act). In a letter, the group wrote that the bill introduced by House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) and Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) “makes many significant changes that would positively impact our members’ ability to produce energy in America.”

The coalition is comprised of the Independent Petroleum Association of America, Energy Workforce & Technology Council, Gulf Energy Alliance, International Association of Drilling Contractors, National Ocean Industries Association, Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, U.S. Oil & Gas Association, and Western Energy Alliance. Combined, these groups represent over 80 percent of domestic oil and natural gas production in the United States.

The group’s letter details how the scope of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements and applications have grown since its enactment 50 years ago and the courts, Presidential directives, and agencies’ implementation of NEPA regulations have made NEPA unworkable and far more complicated than its original intent. The federal government’s “paper chase” hinders efforts to find innovative solutions to protect the environment, unlock investment and create jobs. The SPEED Act addresses many of the most pressing issues surrounding NEPA delays and will provide durable solutions to help expedite much needed infrastructure projects across the country.

Earlier in July the coalition called on lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives to “take swift action on permitting reform.” In a letter to Chairman Westerman ahead of an oversight hearing held by the Natural Resources Committee.

The following are statements from members of the coalition on support for the SPEED Act:

Dan Naatz, COO and EVP of the Independent Petroleum Association of America: “American energy producers appreciate Chairman Westerman and Congressman Golden’s efforts to address delays the NEPA process has brought to building out much-needed energy infrastructure. The Independent Petroleum Association of America supports the SPEED Act – the legislation’s reforms to our nation’s permitting system provide a balanced effort of environmental stewardship and the timely decision making needed for economic investment.”
Tim Tarpley, president of Energy Workforce & Technology Council: “The SPEED Act is a win for American energy and infrastructure. By cutting red tape, reducing frivolous lawsuits, and restoring common sense to NEPA, this bill ensures projects get built on time and on budget. Steps taken by the SPEED Act are especially critical for the energy services sector, where permitting delays stall job creation, investment, and innovation. Energy Workforce & Technology Council supports this legislation because it delivers the certainty needed to power our economy and keep America competitive.”
Erik Milito, president of the National Ocean Industries Association: “We commend Representatives Westerman and Golden for their bipartisan leadership on the SPEED Act, a timely and serious step toward modernizing America’s permitting system. Offshore energy companies are ready to invest and innovate across oil and gas, wind, carbon capture, deep sea mining, and emerging technologies. But outdated, unpredictable permitting continues to delay progress and deter investment, especially in one of the most complex regulatory environments in the world. The SPEED Act lays a strong foundation for reform, recognizing that energy development and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. We look forward to working with Congress to strengthen the bill and deliver the reliable, durable permitting system our energy future requires.”
Karr Ingham, Economist, president, Texas Alliance of Energy Producers: “The Alliance applauds Chairman Westerman’s leadership in this bipartisan effort to reduce barriers to energy production. The need is especially acute in Texas, where access to markets for Texas and U.S.-produced crude oil and natural gas is critical and has long been hampered by abuses in the permitting process. Additional pipeline and export capacity, including new LNG export facilities, is required to support the extraordinary growth in production accomplished by the U.S. domestic oil and gas industry. Furthermore, moving products to domestic and global markets more quickly meets growing energy needs at home and abroad, meets those needs in much cleaner fashion compared to non-U.S. production, and reduces the need to flare natural gas. Enactment of the SPEED Act will go a very long way toward enhancing development of cost effective projects that will expand delivery of high quality energy in Texas, the US, and around the world.”
Tim Stewart, president of the U.S. Oil & Gas Association: “It’s not a lack of interest or capital, knowhow or need holding American industry back, it is an artificial legal and regulatory morass which has been built up over decades. Federal agencies now prioritize process over outcome. The SPEED Act cuts through all that. If America wants to start building things again, we need to do this.”
Melissa Simpson, president of Western Energy Alliance: “The Alliance has been in court for a decade now defending oil and natural gas producers targeted by activist groups who use perceived NEPA deficiencies to halt federal leasing. It shouldn’t take that long to work through what the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously agreed is a procedural requirement, not a roadblock, to inform federal agencies and the public. We appreciate Chairman Westerman for prioritizing reasonable limits to judicial reviews on NEPA and courtroom obstructionism in the SPEED Act.”

MIL-Evening Report: Big tech says AI could boost Australia’s economy by $115 billion a year. Does the evidence stack up?

Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Uri Gal, Professor in Business Information Systems, University of Sydney

Imaginima / Getty Images

AI is on the agenda in Canberra. In August, the Productivity Commission will release an interim report on harnessing data and digital technology such as AI “to boost productivity growth, accelerate innovation and improve government services”. Shortly afterward, the government will host an Economic Reform Roundtable where AI policy will be up for discussion.

AI developers are aggressively pursuing influence over the new rules. The Chinese government wants to include AI in trade deals. Meanwhile, as the US government seeks to “win the AI race”, US-based tech companies are making their own overtures.

The most ambitious intervention has come from ChatGPT developer OpenAI, which recently hired former Tech Council chief executive Kate Pounder as its local policy liaison. Pounder is also a former business partner of Assistant Minister for the Digital Economy Andrew Charlton.

OpenAI’s AI Economic Blueprint for Australia makes bold projections about the new technology’s impact on the country’s economy, accompanied by a host of policy proposals. However, these claims warrant careful scrutiny, particularly given the company’s clear commercial interests in shaping Australian regulation.

The gap between promise and evidence

OpenAI claims AI could boost Australia’s economy by A$115 billion annually by 2030. It attributes most of this to productivity gains in business, education and government. However, the supporting evidence is thin.

For instance, the report notes Australian workers have lower productivity than their US counterparts and then claims (without evidence) this is because Australia has invested less in digital technologies such as AI. However, it ignores numerous other factors affecting productivity, from industrial structure to regulatory environments.

The report also describes supposed AI-driven productivity gains in companies such as Moderna and Canva. However, these narratives lack any data about improved organisational or individual performance.

Perhaps more concerning is the report’s uniformly optimistic tone, which overlooks significant risks. These include organisations struggling with costly AI projects, massive job displacements, worsening labour conditions, and concentrating wealth.

Most problematically, OpenAI’s blueprint assumes AI adoption and its economic benefits will materialise rapidly across the economy. However, evidence suggests a different reality.

Economic impact from AI will unfold gradually

Recent evidence suggests AI’s economic impact may take decades to fully materialise. Studies report some 40% of US adults use generative AI yet this translates to less than 5% of work hours and an increase of less than 1% in labour productivity.

AI may not spread much faster than past technologies. The limiting factor will be how quickly individuals, organisations and institutions can adapt.

Even when AI tools are available, meaningful adoption requires time. People must develop new skills, change the way they work, and integrate the new technologies into complex organisations. The economic impacts of earlier general-purpose technologies such as computers and the internet took decades to fully materialise, and there’s little reason to believe AI will be fundamentally different.

The educational risk

Like Google, OpenAI is also aggressively pushing for AI adoption in education. It has teamed up with edtech companies and launched a new “study mode” in ChatGPT.

The push for AI tutoring and automated educational tools raises profound concerns about human development and learning.

Early evidence suggests over-reliance on AI tools may condition people to depend on them. When students routinely turn to AI, they risk avoiding the mental effort required to build critical thinking skills, creativity and independent inquiry. These capacities form the foundation of a thriving democracy and innovative economy.

Students who become accustomed to AI-assisted thinking may struggle to develop intellectual independence. This is needed for innovation, ethical reasoning and creative problem-solving.

AI applications that help teachers personalise instruction or identify learning gaps may be useful. But systems that substitute for students’ own cognitive effort and development should be avoided.

A multi-partner infrastructure strategy

Australia’s digital strategy will undoubtedly include significant investment in AI infrastructure such as data centres. One challenge for Australia is to avoid concentrating our investment around a single technology provider. Doing so would be a mistake that could compromise both economic competitiveness and national sovereignty.

Amazon plans to spend $20 billion on local data centres. Microsoft Azure already has significant local capacity, as does Australian company NextDC. This diversity provides a foundation, but maintaining and expanding it requires deliberate policy choices.

Maintaining multiple data centre suppliers helps keep computing power that is independent of foreign governments or single companies. This approach will give Australia more bargaining power to ensure lower prices, greener power and local skills quotas.

Diversification provides regulatory leverage as well. Australia can enforce common security standards knowing no single supplier can threaten an investment strike.

Australia’s AI future

AI technology is developing rapidly, driven by large corporations wielding vast amounts of capital and political influence. It presents real opportunities for economic growth and social benefit that Australia can’t afford to squander.

However, if the government uncritically accepts corporate advocacy, these opportunities may be captured by foreign interests.

Australia’s approach to AI policy should maintain human-centred values alongside technological advancement. This balance requires resisting the siren call of corporate promises.

The decisions made today will shape Australia’s future for decades. These choices should be guided by independent analysis, empirical evidence, and a commitment to outcomes for all Australians.

The Australian government must resist the temptation to let Silicon Valley write our digital future, no matter how persuasive their lobbyists or how impressive their promises. The stakes are simply too high to get this wrong.

MIL-OSI USA: On the 60th Anniversary of the Creation of Medicaid and Medicare, Luján, Leader Schumer, and Senate Democrats Introduce Legislation to Reverse Devastating Health Care Cuts in Republicans’ Budget Betrayal

US Senate News:

WATCH HERE: Senator Luján Delivers Floor Speech on Effort to Reverse Devastating Health Care Cuts in Republicans’ Budget Betrayal

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), along with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Ranking Member of the Finance Committee, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Ranking Member of the Budget Committee, U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR), led their Senate Democratic colleagues in introducing the Protecting Health Care And Lowering Costs Act.

This legislation would reverse all of the health care cuts in the “Big, Ugly Betrayal,” including those to Medicaid, and would permanently extend the ACA premium tax credits. After Republicans passed legislation earlier this month that would kick nearly 15 million people off their health insurance and totals more than one trillion dollars in health care cuts, Senate Democrats are fighting back and pushing to reverse these devastating cuts and extend tax credits to make health care affordable.

Today marks 60 years since Medicaid and Medicare was created on a bipartisan basis as a promise to the American people that we would stick by the poorest and most disadvantaged among us and take care of the elderly who paid into a system their whole lives. Democrats will be crisscrossing the country to make sure that the American people know it is Congressional Republicans who are reneging on that promise, ripping away health care from millions so they can give tax cuts to billionaires.

“Sixty years after Medicare and Medicaid opened the door to health care for millions, Congressional Republicans slammed it shut with their Budget Betrayal – ripping coverage from 15 million Americans, including over 100,000 New Mexicans,” said Senator Luján. “Their cuts target children, families, and seniors who depend on Medicaid to survive, and could force rural clinics and hospitals to close their doors. While Republicans gut health care, Senate Democrats are fighting to restore it and protect the people we represent.”

“For many, the “Big, Ugly Betrayal” is quite literally a matter of life and death. Too many will now have to make the heartbreaking decision between financial ruin and going without care. Already the effects of this bill are being felt. Already hospitals and health care systems are in jeopardy because of this legislation that passed just mere weeks ago,” said Leader Schumer. “Let’s be crystal clear: to pay for tax cuts for billionaires, millions of people are going to lose their health care. That’s the Republicans agenda right there. Well not on our watch. Democrats are fighting this tooth and nail. And today we are proud to introduction legislation which would reverse these devastating cuts and permanently extend the ACA premium tax credits. It is not too late for the Republicans to reverse course and save healthcare for millions.”

“Trump and Republicans in Congress have been actively misleading the American public. Americans were never told that this flawed bill will punch a hole in a lot more than Medicaid,” said Senator Wyden, Ranking Member of the Finance Committee. “There is simply no way to cut more than $1 trillion from the health care system without taking a deep toll on Americans of all stripes from coast to coast. The more Americans hear about this bill, the less they like it. It’s time to scrap Trumpcare and put America back on a path to affordable health care.”

“If Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits expire at the end of the year, 20 million Americans will see their health care costs skyrocket at a time when they’re already struggling with increased prices. That pain will be felt almost immediately,” said Senator Shaheen. “That’s on top of the unprecedented health care cuts to Medicaid that were passed in the ‘Big Beautiful Betrayal’. We need to take action now to permanently extend those tax credits so that people know they can count on them.”

“Congressional Republicans betrayed hardworking families earlier this month when they chose to stand with billionaires by gutting Medicaid and kicking more than 15 million people off their health insurance,” said Senator Merkley, Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee. “Republicans have the opportunity to right this wrong by supporting our bill that will reverse these devastating cuts and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing across the country. On this 60th Anniversary of the enactment of Medicaid and Medicare, Democrats are fighting for an economy where families thrive and billionaires finally pay their fair share.”

The entire Democratic caucus has signed on to co-sponsor the legislation.

Time to pay up: Toughest crackdown on late payments in a generation unveiled in plan to back small businesses

UK Government unveils its Small Business Plan to support SMEs across the country

Government to tackle late payments with the most significant legislative reforms in 25 years – an issue that costs the UK economy £11bn a year and shuts down 38 businesses every day
UK set to have the toughest late payments laws in the G7 as part of reforms to back small businesses and unlock growth as part of the Plan for Change
New £4bn finance boost including 69,000 Start-Up Loans to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and small business owners

Small businesses across the UK will benefit from the most comprehensive support package in a generation, as the government launches a bold new plan to give small businesses the tools to thrive and drive economic growth as part of its Plan for Change.

Small and medium sized firms employ 60% of the country’s workforce and generate £2.8 trillion in turnover. However, for too long, the odds have been stacked against small businesses.

From tradespeople and shopkeepers to start-up founders and family-run firms, too many work hard but don’t get the backing they deserve – held back by late payments and not getting the financial backing they need within a wider system that hasn’t worked in their favour.

That’s why the Government is taking serious action to back small businesses and give them the tools they need to grow. This builds on the solid foundation of certainty and stability this government has already delivered—through the trade deals we’ve secured, four interest rate cuts, and a long-term industrial and trade strategy that’s helping businesses plan ahead with confidence.

At the heart of the plan is a the most significant package of reforms in a generation to tackle late payments, with plans to introduce the toughest laws on late payments in the G7.

Late payments are one of the biggest barriers to small business growth —causing cashflow problems that stop firms from scaling up and investing in their future. Every day, hardworking businesses close their doors because they aren’t paid on time.

The new laws are set to give stronger powers to the Small Business Commissioner to empower them to wield fines, worth potentially millions of pounds, against the biggest firms who persistently choose to pay their suppliers late.

The Small Business Commissioner will be given new powers to carry out spot checks and enforce a 30-day invoice verification period to speed up resolutions to disputes. The upcoming legislation will also introduce maximum payment terms of 60 days, reducing to 45 days, giving firms certainty they’ll be paid on time.

Audit committees, under the proposals, will also be legally required to scrutinise payment practices at board level, placing greater pressure on large firms to show they’re treating small suppliers fairly backed by mandatory interest charges for those who pay late.

These changes will also save small businesses valuable time, freeing up hours currently spent chasing overdue invoices so they can focus on growing their business instead. Taken together, this will help ensure businesses are paid on time and end the scourge of late payments which costs the UK economy £11bn per year and closes down 38 UK businesses every day.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said:

“From builders and electricians to freelance designers and manufacturers—too many hardworking people are being forced to spend precious hours chasing payments instead of doing what they do best – growing their businesses.

“It’s unfair, it’s exhausting, and it’s holding Britain back. So, our message is clear: it’s time to pay up.

“Through our Small Business Plan, we’re not only tackling the scourge of late payments once and for all, but we’re giving small business owners the backing and stability they need for their business to thrive, driving growth across the country through our Plan for Change.”

Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said:  

“This country is home to some of the brightest entrepreneurs and innovative businesses in the world, and we want to unleash their full potential by giving them back time and money to do what they do best – growing our local economies.

“Our Small Business plan – the first in over a decade – is slashing unnecessary admin costs, making it easier for businesses to set up shop and giving SMEs the financial backing they need.

“This is our Plan for Change in action, putting more money in people’s pockets, boosting local communities and ensuring Britain is a great place to do business and thrive.”

Small Business Minister Gareth Thomas said:

“I want the UK to be the best place in the world to start a business, grow and succeed – and that’s why we’ve taken bold steps today. 

“Too many small firms go under each year because they aren’t paid on time – that is completely unacceptable.

“I hear all too often about businesses who just don’t have the cash needed to start up or grow. Today, we’ve announced measures as part of our Plan for Change to tackle all of those issues and beyond. This is the government listening to businesses, working with them, and delivering real change.”

Policy Chair of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), Tina McKenzie, said:

“Making sure businesses are paid on time, that our high streets thrive, and creating conditions in which everyone can start and succeed in business are crucial priorities for small businesses, communities and the economy. It’s very welcome that the Prime Minister has today made them his Government’s priorities.

“I’m pleased that FSB and the Government have been able to work in lockstep on the bold and ambitious measures needed to tackle the scourge of late payment through legislation, and other pro-growth, pro-small business measures.

“Today’s plan is an encouraging commitment from the Government to take the side of small businesses in the great growth challenge ahead.”

Charlie Shaw, owner of Flock and Herd butchers in Peckham said:

“We’re proud to pay every supplier on time and once we receive an invoice, so it’s fantastic to see the government put the Small Business Plan into place tackling the big issue of late payments.

“We believe this is a fair and honest way to conduct business. It gives us a clear and current understanding of how our business is performing. Our relationships with our suppliers have been amazing and truly beneficial to all parties.”

As part of the plan, the government is also tackling another major barrier for small businesses – access to finance. Despite the UK’s world-leading financial services sector, many small firms struggle to secure the funding they need to invest, expand, or even survive.

To address this, the Government is launching a new £4 billion wave of financial support aimed at boosting growth and supporting more small businesses to start up and grow. This includes a £1bn boost for new businesses, with 69,000 Start-Up Loans and mentoring support to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and small business owners.

The Government is also going further by delivering a new £3 billion boost to the British Business Bank – raising the total guarantee to £5 billion – to help lenders offer more small business loans through the ‘ENABLE programme’. Under the scheme, the BBB provides a government-backed guarantee to help lenders feel safer when lending to smaller or newer businesses, enabling them to offer better loan terms including with lower interest.

These measures aim to break down long-standing barriers that have made it harder for small businesses to access the funding they need to get off the ground by making finance and loans more accessible, affordable, and fair.

Accelerating SME growth by just 1 percentage point per year, could deliver £320bn to the UK economy by 2030. All of these measures announced today back small businesses to the hilt and build on action already taken by this government to create the conditions for businesses to thrive:

Slashing of red tape to boost the hospitality and arts sector through hospitality zones and licensing reforms following the Licensing Taskforce co-chaired with Nick Mackenzie, Greene King CEO
High Street Rental Auctions to fill vacant high street premises
A revamped Board of Trade to get more small firms exporting around the world
The new Business Growth Service to ensure SMEs have access to key support
We’ve set out that we intend to introduce permanently lower business rates multipliers for the hard-hit retail, hospitality and leisure sector.

Notes to editors

Michelle Ovens CBE, Founder, Small Business Britain, said:

“I am thrilled to see the Small Business Plan launched today, putting the nation’s smallest businesses at the heart of Government strategy where it should be. These job creators and economy builders will benefit from a huge boost to funding through the British Business Bank, a boost to skills, support for high streets and a long hoped for legislative backing for getting paid on time. We will not see economic growth without small business growth, so I am eager to get on and help the Government deliver on this agenda – and help small businesses regardless of their background start, grow and thrive.”

Simon Groom, CEO of MagnifyB, said:

“MagnifyB welcomes the UK Government’s action to tackle late payments, which will give small businesses the cash flow stability they need to thrive. Alongside this, there is a clear need to provide micro and small businesses with far more than just a repository of information, including a practical digital toolset to strengthen their operations and improve their chances of long-term success. We hope that the new Small Business Commissioner can be instrumental in bringing together ideas and championing the initiatives needed to make this support a reality.”

Julianne Ponan MBE, Founder of Creative Nature, a small business that exports top 14 Allergen Free Baking Mixes and Snacks to 16 countries, said:

“I’m delighted to see the government’s new SME Strategy recognising the critical role small businesses play both at home and globally. From tackling late payments to simplifying access to growth advice and support, these measures are a lifeline for SMEs like mine who often face disproportionate challenges with limited resources. I’m especially encouraged by the commitment to reduce administrative burdens by 25% and improve access to finance both are major barriers to growth for underrepresented founders, including women and ethnic minority entrepreneurs. The focus on revitalising the high street, digital skills, and exporting support shows that the government is listening to the needs of small businesses.”

The full plan will be published later this morning on Gov.uk We have launched a public consultation to seek views on our proposed legislative measures to ensure companies pay their suppliers quickly and on time. Please go to GOV.UK for details of the proposed measures.
Today’s announcement builds on the foundation of the government putting the public finances on a sustainable path – providing long-term direction, stability, and confidence for small businesses to thrive. This has paid off – interest rates have been cut four times in the last 12 months and in the first three months of 2025, Britain was the fastest growing economy in the G7.
The Government has also extended 40% business rates relief for 250,000 firms until April 2026 protected bills from inflation, and ensured over 700,000 properties pay no rates at all. This is creating a fairer business rates system to protect the high street, support investment, and level the playing field as we intend to introduce permanently lower tax rates for retail, hospitality, and leisure properties from next year.
This has included 865,000 small businesses being protected from the NICs rise because of the Employment Allowance increase to £10500, whilst 700,000 small business properties do not pay business rates at all because of Small Business Rates Relief. Corporation tax has been capped at 25% – the lowest headline rate of Corporate Tax in the G7 – for the duration of parliament.

MIL-OSI New Zealand: Killing weeds and wildings for economic growth

Source: New Zealand Government

Tourism and rural businesses will benefit from Government action to eradicate invasive weeds from popular landscapes including progressing the development of world-leading early detection technology, Conservation Minister Tama Potaka says.

The Department of Conservation – Te Papa Atawhai is New Zealand’s biggest tourism provider – conservation tourism is worth $3.4 billion a year – but the ongoing protection of our iconic landscapes is facing significant financial and environmental challenges,” Mr Potaka says.

“Tourism is a key part of our plan to grow the economy to create jobs, lift wages and help Kiwis get ahead. Through the International Visitor Levy (IVL), we’re providing $10 million over the next three years to ensure our popular mountains, parks, and islands, remain beautiful for years to come.

“Locations include Abel Tasman, Aoraki / Mt Cook, Tongariro, Stewart Island, Mackenzie Basin, Molesworth, and Te Paki and North Cape / Otou near Cape Reinga.

“In Aotearoa New Zealand, nearly two million hectares are affected by wilding pines. Without intervention, these trees can spread at a rate of five per cent per year. The cost of this to New Zealand’s nature, productivity and economy can grow exponentially over time.

“I’ve announced an extra $3 million to the National Wilding Conifer Control Programme, led by Biosecurity New Zealand, for important control work in the Molesworth and Mackenzie Basin areas. This builds on significant previous IVL investments to urgently tackle wilding conifers across Canterbury, Marlborough, Otago and on Rangitoto in the Hauraki Gulf.

“A further $7.45 million will go towards managing other significant weeds. For example in Rakiura, Abel Tasman, Te Paki, and North Cape/Otou, such as marram, spartina, and pampas grasses that affect natural dune and estuary ecosystems, and our coastal scenery.

“When it comes to tackling invasive weeds, taking early action is essential. IVL funding will also go towards the development and rollout of an innovative, smart software tool to detect weeds when they first invade.

Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard highlighted the annual boost in funding to combat wilding pines, which threaten farmland, water catchments, and native biodiversity, while increasing the risk of wildfires.

“The Government is focused on protecting the productive heart of our economy – our rural communities. That’s why there has been significant investment into the National Wilding Conifer Control Programme, including an extra $2 million announced in Budget and annual $10 million baseline funding.

“Since 2016, the Government has committed more than $150 million to the fight to contain and control the spread of wilding pines, alongside more than $33 million contributed by partners and communities.”

“This year’s investment continues to support the people doing the work alongside Government – regional councils, Iwi, farmers, researchers, and volunteers, whose combined effort has pushed back some of the worst infestations and protected key landscapes,” says Mr Hoggard.

Notes to editor: The funding covers work across the next three years (2025 –2028) and comes from money raised under the new $100 International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy rate.

MIL-OSI New Zealand: Strengthening sustainable tourism at iconic sites

Source: New Zealand Government

A $17.5 million investment into strengthening sustainable tourism at some of the country’s most popular natural attractions will support jobs and incomes for regional economies, Conservation Minister Tama Potaka says.

“Our beautiful Conservation lands are one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s biggest drawcards, attracting $3.4 billion into our economy from tourism a year. However, the ongoing protection of our landscapes is facing financial and environmental challenges.

“$13.6 million over three years will improve visitor planning and management at the beautiful Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, Piopiotahi Milford Sound and Matiu / Somes Island on Wellington’s doorstep.

“This investment ensures the conservation areas and facilities that attract tourists to our regions continues to deliver on its promise of stunning nature.

“This includes more dedicated staff at visitor centres during peak times. It means more summer rangers to look after facilities, share information about the outdoors, wildlife and history and ensure people are visiting responsibly.

“$3.9 million over two years will go to improving service and management of some of New Zealand’s popular Great Walks and Department of Conservation campsites.

“As well as offering so much to New Zealanders, public conservation lands and water support around 2,000 tourism concessions. For example, there are currently more than 560 active guiding permits.

“Conservation areas, tracks and facilities are also vital for local economies right across the country, like Mautohe Cathedral Cove on the Coromandel Peninsula, and Tuatapere in Southland.

“Tourism is a crucial part of the Government’s focus on economic growth, with domestic and international tourism expenditure at $44.4 billion and supporting more than 300,000 jobs.”

MIL-OSI: Euronet and CoreCard Announce Merger Agreement to Unlock Global Opportunities in Credit Card Issuing and Processing

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

LEAWOOD, Kan. and NORCROSS, Ga., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Euronet (NASDAQ: EEFT), a global leader in payments processing and cross-border transactions, and CoreCard Corporation (NYSE: CCRD), a leading provider of innovative credit technology solutions and processing services to the financial technology and services market, today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for Euronet to acquire CoreCard in a stock-for-stock merger transaction that values CoreCard at approximately $248 million, or $30 per share of CoreCard common stock. The exchange ratio and other terms of the transaction are described below.

The proposed transaction marks a pivotal step in accelerating Euronet’s strategic goal of a more diversified, future-ready revenue mix, that is anchored in scalable, modern platforms designed for the next generation of digital financial services across the globe.

Acquisition to Add a Proven Credit Card Platform and Marquee Clients to Fuel Euronet’s Growth Strategy

CoreCard’s platform is proven and trusted by some of the most respected names in finance and technology, and has been instrumental in launching one of the most successful co-branded credit card offerings in U.S. history in partnership with Goldman Sachs. This credibility, combined with CoreCard’s deep expertise in credit products, positions Euronet to compete in a sizeable market traditionally dominated by a few legacy providers.

The CoreCard modern architecture enables faster deployment, easier integrations, and the flexibility to support rapid innovation, which are key advantages in today’s world of payments, where banks and fintechs are looking to embed financial experiences in their customer journeys. This has enabled CoreCard to support diverse, bespoke use cases for fintech innovators such as Cardless, who has recently been chosen as the partner for the Coinbase credit card.

“More than a product expansion, this acquisition will be a catalyst for long-term growth, and we expect it to be accretive in the first full year post close,” said Michael J. Brown, Euronet’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “By integrating CoreCard’s platform with our own Ren architecture and global distribution network, we will be positioned to become a leading modern card issuer and innovation partner for the next generation of digital finance. This acquisition is a natural extension of our strategy to invest in scalable, high-margin businesses that align with long-term market trends. We also value and respect the work of CoreCard’s employees, who we are eager to welcome to Euronet, and we look forward to their contributions to our company in the future.”

“Joining Euronet marks an exciting new chapter for CoreCard,” said Leland Strange, CEO of CoreCard. “Our team has built a modern, resilient credit card processing platform that serves some of the largest companies and financial institutions in the world. We’re excited to bring our capabilities to a global stage. We have spent a lot of time and diligence over the last year exploring the right ‘fit’ for what our team has built over many years, and we believe this is a great outcome for the team and our shareholders. We are joining with a company that has also been built on a strong foundation over many years that has kept a strong team and customer-focused culture with a focus on innovation.”

Time and Approvals

The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both Euronet and CoreCard, and is expected to close in late 2025, subject to approval by CoreCard shareholders and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of CoreCard common stock will be exchanged for a number of shares of Euronet common stock equal to an exchange ratio between 0.2783 and 0.3142, calculated as $30 divided by the volume weighted average share price of Euronet common stock over the 15-trading day period ending on and including the second to last trading day prior to the closing date (the “Final Euronet Stock Price”), subject to a floor of $95.48 per share and a ceiling of $107.80 per share. CoreCard shareholders will receive 0.3142 Euronet shares for each of their CoreCard shares if the Final Euronet Stock Price is at or below $95.48, and 0.2783 Euronet shares for each of their CoreCard shares if the Final Euronet Stock Price is at or above $107.80.

Advisors

Stinson LLP is acting as outside counsel to Euronet. Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP is acting as outside counsel to CoreCard. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, a Stifel Company, provided certain financial advice to the board of directors of CoreCard.

MIL-OSI: Indicio and Black Mountain Investment Group Partner to Modernize KYC and Digital Identity Verification for Exchanges, Banks, and Law Firms

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Indicio and Black Mountain Investment Group (“BMIG”) announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize KYC and identity verification processes for the financial and legal industries.
This partnership combines Indicio’s market-leading decentralized identity and authenticated biometric technology with Black Mountain’s expertise in business solutions to create a much-needed bridge between traditional and decentralized finance that delivers scalable, fraud-resistant technologies for institutions operating in increasingly global and regulated markets.
Global regulatory changes are accelerating growth in the cross-border asset ecosystem and fueling the evolution of decentralized finance (DeFi). Indicio and Black Mountain have developed proprietary technology that allows for a new, decentralized approach to verify investor, institution, and asset identities. This KYC is critical to scaling transactions in secure, fraud-resistant, and compliant ways.
Indicio developed the most powerful decentralized digital identity solution in the marketplace by incorporating authenticated biometrics in Verifiable Credentials trust-anchored to a blockchain with real encryption. This significantly increases the level of identity assurance for remote onboarding, KYC, and digital transactions- which can now be performed more rapidly and reliably than ever before by investors and institutions through the use of this technology.
“Indicio has developed an architectural approach to digital identity that meets the rapidly evolving needs of conventional and decentralized finance around KYC, account access, and digital asset management,” said Heather Dahl, CEO of Indicio. “We’re really excited to work with Black Mountain Investment Group to advance secure, seamless, decentralized trust for global financial transactions.”
“Trusted digital identity verification is a serious catalyst for advancing the digital transformation of and unlocking liquidity in global finance,” remarks Elijah Levine, CEO of BMIG. “It’s all too often that you work with the biggest and best banks and exchanges and they still operate on outdated and cumbersome KYC verification standards that are also often restricted to US-based financial transactions. When we saw the work that Indicio has been doing with biometric authentication and tamper-proof digital credentials in travel, not only did we want to invest immediately in their main business, but we also recognized that their tech is shockingly translatable to the finance industry.”
“We see a path towards rapid scale and believe that this technology should be implemented immediately across the biggest and best institutions in global finance for their own internal protection and liability purposes, outside of the efficiencies and liquidity that will be immediately unlocked. This partnership is centered around delivering innovative solutions that integrate the very latest technology into the rapidly expanding market of secure, privacy-preserving global asset transfers.”

Indicio is a global leader in Verifiable Credentials, decentralized identity, and digital trust infrastructure.

MIL-OSI: Abacus Global Management Announces Successful Completion of Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

ORLANDO, Fla., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Abacus Global Management, Inc. (“Abacus” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ABL), a leader in the alternative asset management space, today announced the completion of its previously announced exchange offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) relating to its (i) outstanding public warrants (the “public warrants”) and (ii) outstanding private placement warrants (the “private placement warrants” and, together with the public warrants, the “warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“common stock”). The Company’s common stock and public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbols “ABL” and “ABLLW,” respectively. The Company issued 4,183,160 shares of common stock in exchange for the warrants tendered in the Offer.

On July 30, 2025, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into the related amendment to the warrant agreement governing the warrants (the “Warrant Amendment”). Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, the Company has exercised its right to exchange each warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer for 0.207 shares of common stock per warrant, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer (the “Post-Offer Exchange”). The Company has fixed the date for the Post-Offer Exchange as August 14, 2025.

As a result of the completion of the Offer and the Post-Offer Exchange, no warrants will remain outstanding. Accordingly, the public warrants are expected to be suspended from trading on the Nasdaq as of the close of business on August 14, 2025, and will be delisted. The shares of common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol “ABL.” Following completion of the Offer, there are approximately 102,050,981 shares of common stock outstanding (an increase of approximately 4% from prior to the closing of the Offer), and following completion of the Post-Offer Exchange there will be approximately 102,555,154 shares of common stock outstanding (an increase of approximately 5% from prior to the closing of the Offer and the Post-Offer Exchange).

The Company engaged SG Americas Securities, LLC as the dealer manager for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, D.F. King & Co., Inc. as the information agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company served as the exchange agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Achieved Record Total Company Average Quarterly Production of 47,196 boepd
Funds Flow From Operations⁽¹⁾of $54 million, Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾of $77 million and Return to Free Cash Flow
Signed Mandate Letter for Funding of Up to $200 Million
Entered into Binding Agreement to Exit the UK North Sea
Achieved Company Record Total of 32 Million Hours Without a Lost Time Injury
Recorded Operating Costs per boe of $13.42 for the Quarter – the Lowest Since The First Quarter of 2022

CALGARY, Alberta, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (“Gran Tierra” or the “Company”) (NYSE American:GTE) (TSX:GTE) (LSE: GTE) announced the Company’s financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (the “Quarter”) and provided an operational update. All dollar amounts are in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and all production volumes are on an average working interest before royalties (“WI”) basis unless otherwise indicated. Production is expressed in barrels (“bbl”) of oil equivalent (“boe”) per day (“boepd” or “boe/d”) and are based on WI sales before royalties. For per boe amounts based on net after royalty (“NAR”) production, see Gran Tierra’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed July 30, 2025.

Message to Shareholders

Gary Guidry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gran Tierra, commented: “Gran Tierra delivered record-setting production this quarter, reflecting the strength of our diversified portfolio and consistent operational execution across Colombia, Ecuador, and Canada.

In Ecuador, we are building on the momentum of our Iguana Block discoveries with the planned drilling of two high-impact exploration wells in the Charapa Block later this year. In Colombia, the successful development drilling at Costayaco and Cohembi, along with the strong early waterflood response in Cohembi’s north area, underscores the ongoing potential of our core assets and validates our disciplined approach to reservoir management. In Acordionero, our proactive waterflood management, surface facility upgrades, pump upsizes and ongoing improvement in electrical submersible pump run lives continue to mitigate base decline.

In Canada, our Montney and Clearwater assets are delivering encouraging results, with three gross-wells (1.2 net) brought on stream in the Quarter, outperforming expectations. These outcomes further reinforce our strategy of disciplined capital allocation and balanced growth as we focus on generating long-term value for our stakeholders.

We continue to optimize our portfolio with the signed disposition of the UK North Sea assets, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.”

Operational Update:

Safety: Since 2022, Gran Tierra has achieved a record of 32 million person-hours equating to more than 3 years without a lost time injury.
Ecuador
- Building on the successful discoveries in the Iguana Block during the first quarter of 2025, civil works are currently underway to support the drilling of the final two wells under Gran Tierra’s exploration commitments in the country. These wells are planned for the Charapa Block in the Conejo prospect, with drilling expected to commence toward the end of the third quarter of 2025.
Colombia
- Gran Tierra successfully drilled the first of three development wells planned for 2025 in the northern area of the Costayaco field. The Costayaco-63 well was perforated in four productive sands, stimulated, and placed on immediate production. The well is currently producing ~800 bbls of oil per day (“bopd”) with a 48% watercut compared to an average field watercut of 92%. In July, the second well—Costayaco-64—was drilled, stimulated and completed. The well is currently producing ~1,300 bopd with a 13% watercut. The final well, Costayaco-65, was spud on July 20, 2025 and is scheduled to be brought on production in August 2025.
- During the Quarter the remaining two wells of the 2025 five well Cohembi program were brought onto production. The average drilling cost of the five wells was ~$3.0 million per well, representing a 47% reduction from the prior operator’s average last five wells drilled in 2017/18. As part of the program and to support pressure, water injection began on May 30, 2025. A strong waterflood response and increase of greater than 2,600 bopd gross across the northern part of the field has been observed and continues to improve.
- The Cristobal well in LLA-85 was drilled below budget to total depth (“TD”) and abandoned, fulfilling all the commitments on the block.
- In Acordionero, production in the Quarter averaged ~14,200 bopd compared to ~13,800 bopd in the first quarter of 2025 (the “Prior Quarter”). Increases in base production were achieved by increasing total fluid production through planned electrical submersible pump upsizes, additional surface injection capacity allowing for continued growth of total fluid production and water injection. Record highs were achieved in both total fluid production (~89,400 bbls/day) and water injection (~85,000 bbls/day) during the Quarter.
Canada
- In the Simonette, the first two (1.0 net) Lower Montney wells were completed successfully and brought on stream on April 5, 2025. Results from both wells are currently out-performing management’s current type curves. The third Montney well was spud on June 29, 2025 and reached TD on July 18, 2025. The fourth Montney well was spud on July 22, 2025 and is expected to reach total depth in the first half of August.

Enhanced Liquidity:

Gran Tierra is pleased to announce it has signed a mandate letter with a syndicate of banks for a $200 million prepayment facility backed by crude oil deliveries. The Company is progressing toward full documentation, with closing expected in the third quarter of 2025 and funding anticipated shortly thereafter. The facility is structured to enhance financial flexibility, support long-term capital planning, and optimize the Company’s debt maturity profile. Further details of the prepayment will be announced in due course once final terms are agreed upon.
Separately, Gran Tierra recently completed the semi-annual redetermination of its Canadian credit facility, with lenders confirming an unchanged borrowing base of C$100 million. This outcome reflects the continued strength and stability of the Company’s Canadian asset base. The facility provides C$50 million in available commitments, comprised of a C$35 million syndicated facility and a C$15 million operating facility with a maturity date of October 31, 2026. The next redetermination is scheduled on or before November 30, 2025.
Gran Tierra also employs a disciplined, risk-managed hedging strategy designed to protect cash flow, support capital planning, and enhance financial stability across commodity cycles. The Company utilizes a diversified mix of oil and gas hedges that provide downside protection while preserving upside exposure. This proactive approach contributed to a $14 million derivative hedging gain booked during the Quarter. The Company also maintains a rolling 12-month hedging program to further mitigate volatility:
- South American Oil Hedges (Brent): For the second half of 2025, Gran Tierra has hedged approximately 50% of its South American oil production with a weighted average floor of $63.16 per barrel and a ceiling of $76.50 per barrel. For the first half of 2026 the Company has hedged approximately 33% of its South American oil production with a weighted average floor of $61.67 per barrel and a ceiling of $75.58.
- Canadian Oil Hedges (West Texas Intermediate): For the second half of 2025, Gran Tierra has hedged approximately 60% of its Canadian oil production with a weighted average floor of $61.67 per barrel and a ceiling of $72.37 per barrel. For the first half of 2026 the Company has hedged approximately 50% of its Canadian oil production with a weighted average floor of $56.82 per barrel and a ceiling of $72.01.
- Canadian Gas Hedges (AECO): For the second half of 2025, Gran Tierra has hedged approximately 40% of its Canadian gas production with a weighted average floor of $2.82 per GJ and a ceiling of $2.96 per GJ.
- FX Hedges (COP to USD): Starting in April 2025, Gran Tierra entered into a 12-month, $10 million per month hedging program for the COP to USD exchange rate. The hedges have a floor of 4,430 and a ceiling of 4,705.

Key Highlights of the Quarter:

Production: Gran Tierra’s total average WI production was 47,196 boepd, which was 44% higher than the second quarter of 2024 due to the production from the Canadian operations acquired on October 31, 2024 and positive exploration well drilling results in Ecuador. Total average WI production was 1% higher than the Prior Quarter as a result of successful drilling in Simonette, Cohembi infill drilling and waterflood management, strong Acordionero performance and continued exploration success in Ecuador from the Iguana wells. Working interest sales in the Quarter decreased to 45,727 boepd primarily due to the deferral of 143,730 barrels of Ecuador oil production, which were held in inventory at the end of June and subsequently sold in July.
Net Income (Loss): Gran Tierra incurred a net loss of $13 million, compared to a net loss of $19 million in the Prior Quarter and net income of $36 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾: Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $77 million compared to $85 million in the Prior Quarter and $103 million in the second quarter of 2024. Twelve-month trailing net debt⁽¹⁾ to adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was 2.3 times (only accounts for eight months of Canadian operations adjusted EBITDA) and the Company continues to have a long-term target ratio of 1.0 times.
Funds Flow from Operations⁽¹⁾: Funds flow from operations⁽¹⁾ was $54 million ($1.53 per share), up 17% from the second quarter of 2024 and down 3% from the Prior Quarter. Brent price decreased by 11% per bbl compared to the Prior Quarter and our cash netback⁽¹⁾ decreased by 1% illustrating the resiliency of the portfolio.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities was $35 million ($0.98 per share), down 53% from the Prior Quarter and down 53% from the second quarter of 2024.
Cash and Debt: As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $61 million, total debt of $807 million and net debt⁽¹⁾ of $746 million. During the Quarter, the Company drew a total of $45 million on its credit facilities to fund capital expenditures. There were significant capital expenditures in the first quarter, amounting to approximately 40% of budgeted capital expenditures for the year, which were paid in the Quarter resulting in the Company drawing on its credit facilities. We currently forecast the facilities to have a zero balance by the end of the year. In addition to the $61 million cash on hand as of June 30, 2025, the Company currently has approximately $112 million in credit and lending facilities with $47 million drawn as of June 30, 2025.
Share Buybacks: Gran Tierra repurchased 239,754 shares of common stock during the Quarter. From January 1, 2023, to July 28, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 5.2 million shares, or 15% of shares issued and outstanding on January 1, 2023.

Additional Key Financial Metrics:

Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures were $51 million during the Quarter which were lower than the $95 million in the Prior Quarter and lower than $61 million in the second quarter of 2024. During the Quarter the majority of capital expenditures were incurred in Colombia on Cohembi drilling and infrastructure.
Oil, Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids (“NGL”) Sales: Gran Tierra generated sales of $152 million, down 8% from the second quarter of 2024 primarily as a result of a 22% decrease in Brent pricing, partially offset by 43% higher sales volumes due to higher production and lower Castilla, Oriente, and Vasconia oil differentials. Oil sales decreased 11% from the Prior Quarter primarily due to an 11% decrease in Brent price, partially offset by lower Castilla, Oriente, and Vasconia oil differentials.
South American Quality and Transportation Discounts: The Company’s quality and transportation discounts in South America per bbl were lower during the Quarter at $10.30, compared to $11.58 in the Prior Quarter and $12.79 in the second quarter of 2024. The Castilla oil differential per bbl tightened to $4.73, down from $5.34 in the Prior Quarter and $8.21 in the second quarter of 2024 (Castilla is the benchmark for the Company’s Middle Magdalena Valley Basin oil production). The Vasconia differential per bbl tightened to $1.71, down from $2.27 in the Prior Quarter, and $4.00 in the second quarter of 2024. The Ecuadorian benchmark, Oriente, per bbl was $7.26, down from $7.65 in the Prior Quarter and $8.38 in the second quarter of 2024. The current⁽²⁾ differentials are approximately $4.38 per bbl for Castilla, $1.38 per bbl for Vasconia, and $7.64 per bbl for Oriente.
Operating Expenses: On a per boe basis, operating expenses decreased by 17% when compared to the second quarter of 2024 and 16% when compared to the Prior Quarter, primarily due to lower workover activities and lower lifting costs associated with inventory build-up in Ecuador, power generation, and equipment rentals. This was the lowest operating expense per boe achieved since the first quarter of 2022. Total operating expenses decreased by 17% to $56 million, compared to the Prior Quarter, largely driven by lower workover activities and reduced lifting costs related to power generation, equipment rental, and inventory fluctuation in Ecuador. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, total operating expenses increased by 19% from $47 million, primarily due to the addition of Canadian operations and the ramp-up of activity in Ecuador. The increase in total operating costs is commensurate with the 44% increase in production.
Transportation Expenses: The Company’s transportation expenses increased by 10% to $8 million, compared to the Prior Quarter’s transportation expenses of $7 million as a result of incremental sales volumes transported by Canadian operations resulting in higher tolls. When compared to the second quarter of 2024 transportation expenses increased from $6 million due to new Canadian operations, higher sales volumes transported in Ecuador, partially offset by lower sales volumes transported in Colombia.
Operating Netback⁽¹⁾⁽³⁾: The Company’s operating netback(1)(3) was $21.39 per boe, down 6% from the Prior Quarter and down 45% from the second quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of a decrease in oil pricing. The decrease from the second quarter of 2024 is a result in the change in the Company’s production mix with the addition of the Canadian assets.
General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expenses: G&A expenses before stock-based compensation were $3.48 per boe, up from $2.86 per boe in the Prior Quarter, due to the timing of certain annual corporate expenses. G&A expenses before stock-based compensation were down from $3.77 per boe, compared to the second quarter of 2024 as a result of higher sales volumes from the inclusion of Canadian operations in the Quarter.
Cash Netback⁽¹⁾: Cash netback⁽¹⁾ per boe decreased to $12.95, compared to $13.04 in the Prior Quarter, primarily as a result of lower operating netback⁽¹⁾ and were offset by lower current income tax expense and positive cash settlement on derivative instruments. Compared to one year ago, cash netback⁽¹⁾ per boe decreased by $2.90 from $15.85 per boe as a result of lower operating netback⁽¹⁾ while being offset by lower current tax expense.

Forward Looking Statements and Legal Advisories:

This press release contains opinions, forecasts, projections, and other statements about future events or results that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and financial outlook and forward looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release regarding our business strategy, plans and objectives of our management for future operations, capital spending plans and benefits of the changes in our capital program or expenditures, our liquidity and financial condition, and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “expect,” “plan,” “can,” “will,” “should,” “guidance,” “forecast,” “budget,” “estimate,” “signal,” “progress”, “anticipates” and “believes,” derivations thereof and similar terms identify forward-looking statements. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, this press release contains forward-looking statements regarding: : the Company’s expectations regarding committed funding (including but not limited to the signing of a mandate for prepayment structure backed by crude oil deliveries), liquidity and its leverage ratio target, the Company’s plans regarding strategic investments, acquisitions, dispositions, synergies, and growth, the Company’s drilling program and capital expenditures and the Company’s expectations of commodity prices, exploration and production trends and its positioning for 2025. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect several material factors and expectations and assumptions of Gran Tierra including, without limitation, that Gran Tierra will continue to conduct its operations in a manner consistent with its current expectations, pricing and cost estimates (including with respect to commodity pricing and exchange rates), the general continuance of assumed operational, regulatory and industry conditions in Canada, Colombia and Ecuador, and the ability of Gran Tierra to execute its business and operational plans in the manner currently planned.

Among the important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully integrate the assets and operations of i3 Energy Plc (“i3Energy”) and realize the anticipated benefits and operating synergies expected from the 2024 acquisition of i3 Energy; certain of our operations are located in South America and unexpected problems can arise due to guerilla activity, strikes, local blockades or protests; technical difficulties and operational difficulties may arise which impact the production, transport or sale of our products; other disruptions to local operations; global health events; global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices, differentials or other market conditions affecting oil and gas, including inflation and changes resulting from actual or anticipated tariffs and trade policies, global health crises, geopolitical events, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, or from the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by OPEC and other producing countries and the resulting company or third-party actions in response to such changes; changes in commodity prices, including volatility or a prolonged decline in these prices relative to historical or future expected levels; the risk that current global economic and credit conditions may impact oil prices and oil consumption more than we currently predict, which could cause further modification of our strategy and capital spending program; prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable and volatile; the effect of hedges; the accuracy of productive capacity of any particular field; geographic, political and weather conditions can impact the production, transport or sale of our products; our ability to execute our business plan, which may include acquisitions, and realize expected benefits from current or future initiatives; the risk that unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned properties may occur; the ability to replace reserves and production and develop and manage reserves on an economically viable basis; the accuracy of testing and production results and seismic data, pricing and cost estimates (including with respect to commodity pricing and exchange rates); the risk profile of planned exploration activities; the effects of drilling down-dip; the effects of waterflood and multi-stage fracture stimulation operations; the extent and effect of delivery disruptions, equipment performance and costs; actions by third parties; the timely receipt of regulatory or other required approvals for our operating activities; the failure of exploratory drilling to result in commercial wells; unexpected delays due to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; volatility or declines in the trading price of our common stock or bonds; the risk that we do not receive the anticipated benefits of government programs, including government tax refunds; our ability to access debt or equity capital markets from time to time to raise additional capital, increase liquidity, fund acquisitions or refinance debt; the risk that we are unable to successfully negotiate final terms and close an anticipated prepayment structure backed by crude oil deliveries, our ability to comply with financial covenants in our indentures and make borrowings under our credit agreements; and the risk factors detailed from time to time in Gran Tierra’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, under the caption “Risk Factors” in Gran Tierra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed February 24, 2025 and its other filings with the SEC. These filings are available on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on certain assumptions made by Gran Tierra based on management’s experience and other factors believed to be appropriate. Gran Tierra believes these assumptions to be reasonable at this time, but the forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Gran Tierra’s control, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward looking statements. The risk that the assumptions on which the 2025 outlook are based prove incorrect may increase the later the period to which the outlook relates. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release and the fact that this press release remains available does not constitute a representation by Gran Tierra that Gran Tierra believes these forward-looking statements continue to be true as of any subsequent date. Actual results may vary materially from the expected results expressed in forward-looking statements. Gran Tierra disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable law. In addition, historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.

The forecasts of expected liquidity to address bond amortization in the fourth quarter of 2026 and that Gran Tierra’s credit facilities would have a zero balance by the end of the year may be considered to be future-oriented financial information or a financial outlook for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws. Financial outlook and future-oriented financial information contained in this press release about prospective financial performance, financial position or cash flows are provided to give the reader a better understanding of the potential future performance of the Company in certain areas and are based on assumptions about future events, including economic conditions and proposed courses of action, based on management’s assessment of the relevant information currently available, and to become available in the future. In particular, this press release contains projected operational and financial information for the end of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2026. These projections contain forward-looking statements and are based on a number of material assumptions and factors set out above. Actual results may differ significantly from the projections presented herein. The actual results of Gran Tierra’s operations for any period could vary from the amounts set forth in these projections, and such variations may be material. See above for a discussion of the risks that could cause actual results to vary. The future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks contained in this press release have been approved by management as of the date of this press release. Readers are cautioned that any such financial outlook and future-oriented financial information contained herein should not be used for purposes other than those for which it is disclosed herein. The Company and its management believe that the prospective financial information has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management’s best estimates and judgments, and represent, to the best of management’s knowledge and opinion, the Company’s expected course of action. However, because this information is highly subjective, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures as further described herein. These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Gran Tierra’s method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as to not imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.

Operating netback, as presented, is defined as oil sales less operating and transportation expenses. See the table entitled Financial and Operational Highlights above for the components of consolidated operating netback and corresponding reconciliation.

Cash netback as presented is defined as net income or loss adjusted for DD&A expenses, deferred tax expense or recovery, stock-based compensation expense or recovery, amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash lease expense, lease payments, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, other gain or loss and unrealized derivative instruments gain or loss. Management believes that operating netback and cash netback are useful supplemental measures for investors to analyze financial performance and provide an indication of the results generated by Gran Tierra’s principal business activities prior to the consideration of other income and expenses. A reconciliation from net income or loss to cash netback is as follows:

EBITDA, as presented, is defined as net income or loss adjusted for DD&A expenses, interest expense and income tax expense or recovery. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, is defined as EBITDA adjusted for non-cash lease expense, lease payments, foreign exchange gain or loss, stock-based compensation expense or recovery, other gain or loss and unrealized derivative instruments gain or loss. Management uses this supplemental measure to analyze performance and income generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income, and believes that this financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors to analyze our performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net income or loss to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Funds flow from operations, as presented, is defined as net income or loss adjusted for DD&A expenses, deferred tax expense or recovery, stock-based compensation expense or recovery, amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash lease expense, lease payments, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, other gain or loss and unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments. Management uses this financial measure to analyze performance and income or loss generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income or loss, and believes that this financial measure is also useful supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and our financial results. Free cash flow, as presented, is defined as funds flow from operations adjusted for capital expenditures. Management uses this financial measure to analyze cash flow generated by our principal business activities after capital requirements and believes that this financial measure is also useful supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net income or loss to both funds flow from operations and free cash flow is as follows:

Net debt as of June 30, 2025, was $746 million, calculated using the sum of the aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes, 9.50% Senior Notes outstanding and amount drawn on credit facilities, excluding deferred financing fees, totaling $807 million, less cash and cash equivalents of $61 million. Management believes that net debt is a useful supplemental measure for management and investors in order to evaluate the financial sustainability of the Company’s business and leverage. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is total debt.

Presentation of Oil and Gas Information

Boes have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) natural gas to 1 boe of oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In addition, given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared with natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of six to one, utilizing a boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 boe would be misleading as an indication of value.

References to a formation where evidence of hydrocarbons has been encountered is not necessarily an indicator that hydrocarbons will be recoverable in commercial quantities or in any estimated volume. Gran Tierra’s reported production is a mix of light crude oil and medium heavy crude oil, tight oil, conventional natural gas, shale gas and natural gas liquids for which there is no precise breakdown since the Company’s sales volumes typically represent blends of more than one product type. Well test results should be considered as preliminary and not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Well log interpretations indicating oil and gas accumulations are not necessarily indicative of future production or ultimate recovery. If it is indicated that a pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out, any data disclosed in that respect should be considered preliminary until such analysis has been completed. References to thickness of “oil pay” or of a formation where evidence of hydrocarbons has been encountered is not necessarily an indicator that hydrocarbons will be recoverable in commercial quantities or in any estimated volume.

This press release contains certain oil and gas metrics, including operating netback and cash netback, which do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and should not be used to make comparisons. These metrics are calculated as described in this press release and management believes that they are useful supplemental measures for the reasons described in this press release.

Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods.

TAIPEI, Taiwan and MILPITAS, Calif., July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO) (“Silicon Motion,” the “Company” or “we”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. For the second quarter of 2025, net sales (GAAP) increased sequentially to $198.7 million from $166.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net income (GAAP) decreased to $16.3 million, or $0.49 per diluted American depositary share (“ADS”) (GAAP), from net income (GAAP) of $19.5 million, or $0.58 per diluted ADS (GAAP), in the first quarter of 2025.

For the second quarter of 2025, net income (non-GAAP) increased to $23.0 million, or $0.69 per diluted ADS (non-GAAP), from net income (non-GAAP) of $20.3 million, or $0.60 per diluted ADS (non-GAAP), in the first quarter of 2025.

All financial numbers are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Second Quarter of 2025 Review
“We experienced a strong recovery in our business during the second quarter of 2025 and delivered revenue well above our previously provided range,” stated Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion. “Our industry leading PCIe5 client SSD controller sales grew more than 75% quarter-over-quarter as AI-at-the-edge PCs are beginning to gain market traction and as white box AI server makers continue to leverage mainstream hardware components. Our eMMC and UFS products experienced strong growth during the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by better-than-anticipated smartphone sales and market share gains. We are benefiting from increased product and market diversification and we believe that we are better positioned to deliver long-term, sustainable growth due to our expanding portfolio of leading consumer, enterprise, automotive, industrial and storage solutions.”

During the second quarter of 2025, we had $15.6 million of capital expenditures, including $7.4 million for the routine purchases of testing equipment, software, design tools and other items, and $8.2 million for building construction and improvements in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Returning Value to Shareholders

On October 28, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a $2.00 per ADS annual cash dividend to be paid in quarterly installments of $0.50 per ADS. On May 22, 2025, we paid $16.7 million to Silicon Motion shareholders as the third installment of the annual cash dividend.

On February 6, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a new program for the Company to repurchase up to $50 million of our ADSs over a six-month period. In the second quarter of 2025, we did not repurchase any of our ADSs.

Business Outlook
“Our diversification strategy is expanding our market opportunities as we continue to invest in new products and markets. In 2025, we are benefitting from the introduction of several new products including our leading 6nm, 8-channel PCIe5 client SSD controller, our new eMMC and UFS controllers, and our MicroSD controller that is selling alongside the Nintendo Switch 2. In the second half of the year, we expect to further benefit from the initial ramp of our new 6nm, 4-channel PCIe5 client SSD controller targeting the mass market in late 2025, our first MonTitan enterprise/AI-class product, and our boot drive storage products for DPU network accelerators for the greater SSD data storage ecosystem. We expect to ramp each of these products to scale in 2026 with our customers. Additionally, we continue to experience significant design win activity and demand for our leading automotive portfolio, and we expect to benefit from a mix shift to higher ASP products moving forward as customers shift to our growing portfolio of full solutions. We expect a stronger second half of the year, and we continue to target a revenue run rate of $1 billion for 2025 as we exit the year,” stated Mr. Kou.

For the third quarter of 2025, management expects:

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation and other items, including gross profit (non-GAAP), gross margin (non-GAAP), operating expenses (non-GAAP), operating profit (non-GAAP), operating margin (non-GAAP), non-operating income (expense) (non-GAAP), net income (non-GAAP), and earnings per diluted ADS (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the Company. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with our forecasts, and for benchmarking our performance externally against our competitors. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude the items described below from our consideration of the target’s performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing the results from management’s perspective in addition to seeing our GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results;
the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend analysis;
a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business; and
an easier way to compare the Company’s operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of our competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into our non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in our reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges related to the fair value of restricted stock units awarded to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these non-cash charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of share-based compensation on its operating results.

Restructuring charges relate to the restructuring of our underperforming product lines, principally the write-down of NAND flash, embedded DRAM and SSD inventory valuation and severance payments.

Dispute related expenses consist of legal, consultant, other fees and resolution related to the dispute.

Foreign exchange loss (gain) consists of translation gains and/or losses of non-US$ denominated current assets and current liabilities, as well as certain other balance sheet items, which result from the appreciation or depreciation of non-US$ currencies against the US$. We do not use financial instruments to manage the impact on our operations from changes in foreign exchange rates, and because our operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we therefore exclude foreign exchange gains and losses when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

Realized/Unrealized loss (gain) on investments relates to the disposal and net change in fair value of long-term investments.

MIL-OSI Submissions: Economy – US Fed holds rates steady – but September cut now in focus: deVere CEO

Source: deVere Group

July 30 2025 – The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady today, but the next step is increasingly clear. A cut is coming in September, and investors should be preparing now, predicts the CEO of one of the world’s largest independent financial organizations.

“The decision to hold was expected, but it doesn’t shift the path. The Fed has likely just bought itself eight more weeks before a pivot,” says Nigel Green, CEO of global financial advisory giant deVere Group.

“We now expect that by September, the underlying softness in the economy will make a cut not just justified, but necessary.”

The Fed kept the benchmark rate in its target range of 4.25% to 4.50%, where it has sat since December.

But what was notable this time wasn’t the decision, it was the dissent.

“When key policymakers start breaking ranks, it tells you the consensus is cracking. The economy is changing faster than the narrative.”

The headline GDP figure – 3.0% annualized growth in the second quarter – painted a picture of strength.

However, the internals tell a different story. Imports plunged, flattering the overall print, while core domestic demand slowed sharply.

“The GDP number looked impressive at first glance, but it’s built on a shrinking trade gap. That’s not the foundation of enduring growth. Beneath it, private consumption and business investment are both showing signs of fatigue,” notes Nigel Green.

Consumer spending, while still positive, decelerated from the previous quarter. Americans are becoming more selective, more cautious – a shift that matters for investors trying to assess which parts of the market remain resilient.

“We’re seeing a transition in behavior. People aren’t panicking, but they’re hesitating. They’re thinking harder about how and where to spend. This shift will ripple across sectors, and smart investors will adjust early.”

With inflation continuing to ease, the Fed has room to move – and the broader economic signals are now pointing in the same direction.

“The case for cutting isn’t built on fear, it’s built on realism. Growth isn’t reversing, but it is thinning out. The Fed has always said it’s data-driven, and the data is evolving.”

The deVere Group chief executive believes today’s pause gives investors a crucial window.

“This is the moment to recheck exposure, stress test assumptions, and reweight toward high-quality, globally diversified assets. If you’re waiting for the official pivot to reposition, you may already be behind.”

Markets may respond positively in the short term to the Fed’s steady hand, but that optimism could narrow once investors process the nuances of slowing demand and uneven sector performance.

“There’s a difference between momentum and endurance. Right now, we’re seeing the tail end of stimulus-driven resilience, but not a broad-based expansion. Positioning based on the headline alone is a mistake.”

deVere is advising clients to look beyond the binary of rate hikes or cuts, and to focus instead on portfolio durability in a world where growth is steady but no longer abundant.

“It would appear that we’re entering a new phase of lower inflation, lower growth, and soon, lower rates. This rewards forward-thinking strategy over reaction.”

As central bankers weigh the incoming data and investors digest the mixed signals, it seems that September is shaping up to be a decisive month.

“Today’s decision keeps the Fed in wait-and-see mode – but the waiting won’t last much longer. We expect the first cut in September. Now is the time to prepare for it.”

deVere Group is one of the world’s largest independent advisors of specialist global financial solutions to international, local mass affluent, and high-net-worth clients. It has a network of offices around the world, more than 80,000 clients, and $14bn under advisement.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), Chris Coons (D-DE), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Adam Schiff (D-CA) introduced a discussion draft of the Block Bad Electronic Art and Recording Distributors (Block BEARD) Act of 2025 bipartisan legislation that would allow copyright owners, who have had their property stolen, to seek U.S. federal court action to block dedicated foreign online piracy operations from making that stolen content available to American households.

“Foreign piracy sites are stealing from American creators, threatening good-paying jobs, and exposing U.S. consumers to real online harms via malware, identity theft, and the like,” said Senator Tillis. “The Block BEARD Act gives us a smart, targeted tool to stop these criminal operations at the source without infringing on legitimate speech or due process. I’m proud to lead this bipartisan discussion to protect our creative economy and digital security and I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues in the House to address this important matter.”

“Foreign websites pirating American movies, TV shows, art, and books steal tens of billions of dollars from the U.S. economy each year,” said Senator Coons. “This costs our creative community hundreds of thousands of jobs. Today, the United States takes an important step to join the many other nations around the world that have taken steps to crack down on foreign IP theft. This bipartisan legislation will give Americans the tools they need to protect their intellectual property rights, while ensuring the internet remains a vibrant forum for free speech. I look forward to working with my colleagues and with stakeholders on all sides of this issue to advance this much-needed bill.”

“Tennessee’s thriving creative community must be protected from the theft of creative works by foreign criminals,” said Senator Blackburn. “Foreign piracy operations jeopardize the American creative industry through phishing, identity theft, and financial fraud, and the Block BEARD Act would protect creators by enabling them to pursue legal action in U.S. federal courts against these criminals.”

“I’m proud to join my colleagues in this effort to protect creators and consumers alike from foreign criminal enterprises seeking to steal our intellectual property and exploit Americans,” said Senator Schiff. “As Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property and a steadfast advocate for the creative community, I understand that robust protections are essential for innovation and economic growth in the digital age. This commonsense approach will provide the courts with the tools they need to combat foreign piracy operations and help level the playing field for American artists and creators who deserve to be fairly compensated for their work.”

“We are grateful to Senators Tillis, Coons, Blackburn, and Schiff for their leadership in crafting a carefully tailored proposal that empowers US federal courts to protect consumers, rightsholders, and markets from large scale foreign piracy while preserving the protections contained in the DMCA,” said Mitch Glazier, Chairman and CEO, Recording Industry Association of America. “Similar tools have been proven effective around the world over the last ten years with no harm to speech, Internet infrastructure or security, or participation online, and we strongly support this effort to create a simple, effective, judicial remedy with due process in the U.S.”

“Piracy steals hundreds of thousands of jobs from the film and television industry, drains billions from the U.S. economy, and puts millions of American consumers at risk – and the Block BEARD Act will provide us with a safe and effective way to counter this danger and combat large-scale copyright infringement,” said Charles Rivkin, Chairman and CEO, Motion Picture Association. “With bold leadership from Senators Tillis, Coons, Blackburn, and Schiff, the Block BEARD Act will equip our nation with a tool that’s worked in dozens of countries worldwide: a narrow, targeted means to fight the worst forms of foreign piracy while protecting free speech and the rule of law.”

Background:

The Block BEARD Act would empower copyright owners to seek U.S. federal court orders against foreign websites dedicated to digital piracy, preventing them from making stolen content accessible to American households. To obtain relief, copyright holders must present evidence of specific harm and demonstrate the criminal nature of the targeted site. Courts could then direct internet service providers block access to the identified sites, while granting those providers immunity from liability, including for claims related to the petitioner’s actions. The legislation includes strong public interest safeguards to protect free expression, due process, and legitimate online services operating in compliance with U.S. law. This targeted legal tool mirrors successful approaches used in over 50 democratic countries to curb foreign piracy operations that undermine creative industry jobs and expose users to malware, identity theft, and fraud.
