The AI-powered platform is designed to improve policy recommendations, enhance operational efficiency, and provide real-time compliance monitoring—ultimately aiming to transform how insurance agencies interact with customers.

    Advancing AI Adoption in the Insurance Industry

    The insurance sector presents unique challenges, due to its complex regulatory requirements, broad product offerings, and reliance on expertise-driven decision-making. Traditional training models often lead to inconsistencies in service quality and extended onboarding times for new agents.

    Building on Our Track Record in Insurance AI

    With deployments across both Asian and U.S. insurance markets, Helport AI continues to expand AI adoption in the financial services sector. The upgraded Insurance Edition represents a significant leap forward, as agencies increasingly turn to AI to improve efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and streamline compliance processes.

    “The insurance industry has long relied on experience-based decision-making, but AI is now reshaping the landscape,” said Guanghai Li, CEO of Helport AI. “With our enhanced Helport AI Insurance Edition, we aim to equip insurance professionals with AI-powered expertise that improves service quality, drives sales, and simplifies compliance. With the launch of the new Insurance Edition, we hope to bring a new wave of AI-driven transformation.”

    Expanding AI Across Industries

    Beyond insurance, Helport AI has deployed industry-specific AI solutions across Business Process Outsourcing (“BPO”) call centers, consumer financing and debt collection, mortgage lending, and government services. With a foundation in sector-specific AI models, the Company is actively exploring future applications in healthcare, human resources and recruitment, and real estate.

    AI-Powered Transformation for the Insurance Industry

    The launch of the enhanced Helport AI Insurance Edition is anticipated to further strengthen Helport AI’s position in AI innovation within the insurance sector. By leveraging its AI technologies, the Company expects to continue to reshape how insurers operate, helping them make data-driven decisions, automate complex processes, and elevate customer interactions.

  • MIL-OSI: Primech AI Launches Hytron Lite Smart Cleaning Robot — Optimized for Narrow Spaces and Speed

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Primech AI Pte. Ltd. (“Primech AI” or the “Company”), a subsidiary of Primech Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: PMEC), today announced the launch of its latest innovation, the Hytron Lite autonomous bathroom cleaning robot. This compact version of the successful Hytron robot is specifically engineered for smaller spaces while maintaining the advanced technological capabilities of its predecessor.

    The new Hytron Lite, featuring the powerful NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super System-on-Module (SoM), represents a significant advancement in Primech AI’s mission to revolutionize the cleaning industry. At 30% smaller than the original Hytron, this compact model is specifically designed to address the unique challenges of urban environments where space is at a premium.

    [Images: Two Hytron robots featuring white and red design elements positioned side by side, showcasing the size difference between the original Hytron and the new Hytron Lite model. Both robots display articulated cleaning arms covered in white protective material.]

    “In developing the Hytron Lite, we drew inspiration from successful compact versions of popular technology products, similar to how Apple approached the iPhone SE,” said Charles Ng, Chief Operating Officer of Primech AI. “Our goal was to bring the same powerful cleaning capabilities to smaller spaces without compromising performance or technological sophistication.”

    The Hytron Lite leverages the same cutting-edge NVIDIA technology suite as its larger counterpart. At its core, the robot is powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super, delivering enhanced AI processing and efficiency for optimal performance. This is complemented by the CUDA parallel computing platform, which easily handles complex computational tasks, while the CuDNN deep learning neural network library enables sophisticated decision-making capabilities. The system’s performance is further optimized through TensorRT for neural network deployment, with the NVIDIA Driver ensuring seamless integration across all components.

    Despite its reduced size, the Hytron Lite retains all the advanced features that made its predecessor successful. The robot employs sophisticated smart navigation and environmental sensing systems, operating with remarkable energy efficiency while enabling comprehensive remote monitoring capabilities. Its innovative design incorporates contact-based and contactless cleaning technology and enhanced 3D space cleaning capabilities, ensuring thorough sanitization of all surfaces. The addition of an interactive display interface provides intuitive user engagement and real-time status updates.

    The compact design of the Hytron Lite makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of urban environments. The robot excels in small public restrooms within shopping malls and easily navigates narrow bathroom facilities in office buildings. Its versatility extends to compact washrooms in hotels and restaurants, while its efficient operation proves particularly valuable in space-constrained transportation hubs. The adaptable design also makes it well-suited for educational institutions with varied facility sizes, ensuring effective cleaning solutions across different spatial configurations.

    “The introduction of the Hytron Lite demonstrates our commitment to innovation and adaptability in the cleaning industry,” added Mr. Ng. “By maintaining the same powerful NVIDIA technology in a more compact form factor, we’re ensuring that even the smallest facilities can benefit from our autonomous cleaning solutions.”

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Gaza airstrikes must be “wake-up call” for genocide complicity

    Source: Scottish Greens

    18 Mar 2025 External Affairs

    UK arms sales are causing death and destruction in Gaza.

    More in External Affairs

    The UK government must end its complicity in genocide and finally halt arms sales to Israel, says Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie following news that over 330 Palestinians were killed in airstrikes on Gaza last night.

    With warnings from the United Nations that the majority of people killed in the war in Gaza are women and children, the Scottish Greens have renewed calls for the UK government to terminate arms sales to Israel.

    Mr Harvie said:

    “Under the terms of the ceasefire deal, Israel should have been withdrawing from Gaza by now, but instead they have violated the ceasefire by carrying out nothing less than a massacre.

    “The scale of horror that Israel is inflicting must serve as a wake-up call to our governments to end their role in genocide, and hold the Israeli Government to account for its war crimes.

    “Continuing to arm and support Israel can only lead to further destruction and even more lost lives. It is civilians who are paying the devastating cost of collective punishment, mass displacement and the destruction of schools, hospitals and homes.

    “With a Trump administration that doesn’t even pretend to care about Palestinian rights, the Israeli Government is clearly feeling empowered and knows that they will face no consequences.

    “We cannot allow this to continue any longer. There is a moral obligation on all governments to stop arming Israel and instead hold them accountable for their actions.”

    Mr Harvie also called for the Scottish Government to stop all financial support for companies who are profiting from the war, after reports that Scottish Enterprise has given over £1 million to organizations that arm Israel since the start of the war.

    Mr Harvie added:

    “The Scottish Government has rightly condemned UK complicity, but time and again it has refused to end support for the companies who are enabling and profiting from the killing. It is time for them to put their money where their mouth is and end their hypocrisy.”

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Derby Market Hall unveils first wave of traders, setting stage for grand reopening

    Source: City of Derby

    Derby City Council is excited to announce the first lineup of traders set to move into the revitalised Derby Market Hall, marking another milestone in the transformation of the historic Grade II-listed building. 

    Following a £35.1m restoration, the Market Hall will reopen its doors to the public on Saturday 24 May, marking a new era for Derby’s independent shopping, dining, and entertainment scene. 

    A curated mix of traditional and contemporary traders will be in place when the Market Hall reopens its doors, creating a vibrant hub in the heart of the city and blending the Market Hall’s rich history with a modern experience. 

    A legacy continues:

    • Amongst the first confirmed traders is one that has traded throughout the refurbishment works – Bailey’s Fishmongers. Derby’s last remaining fishmonger has been a trader in the Market Hall for 65 years and will continue to operate in their current location in the lock-up yard area. As a family-run business with over 100 years of experience, Bailey’s Fishmongers was originally founded by Stuart Bailey’s father, with Stuart working in the trade for more than 64 years. Fresh fish and seafood products will be on offer for customers and businesses alike.

    A world of local and international flavours:

    • Bringing a taste of Italy to Derby Market Hall, Caffé Prosecco is set to offer an elegant and modern take on Italian hospitality. Born out of a collection of award-winning bars, including venues that have claimed the Derby Food & Drink Award three years in a row, Caffé Prosecco is renowned for its service and premium selection of drinks. Offering a wide range of Proseccos and fine wines, the independent café promises a refined yet relaxed experience where customers can enjoy freshly brewed coffee, freshly baked croissants, indulgent cakes, and a selection of Pinchos and Cicchettis (traditionally enjoyed in Spanish and Italian bars). Gluten-free and alcohol-free options will also be available. 
    • Locally sourced produce will be at the heart of the revitalised Market Hall, with Derbyshire’s Own, run by Derby Uncovered CIC, set to champion the best of Derby and Derbyshire’s history and heritage. With a sole mission to provide residents and visitors with a wide and varied selection of groceries sourced exclusively from suppliers in Derby and Derbyshire, Derbyshire’s Own will support the local economy whilst promoting sustainability. Customers will also enjoy a wide range of locally produced food and drink.
    • Bold international flavours will be offered by Colombo Street, a multi-award-winning street food vendor offering visitors an authentic taste of Sri Lankan cuisine. Holding prestigious awards such as Sri Lankan Restaurant of the Year at the Nation’s Curry Awards 2024, the National Asian Food Awards 2023, and more, they are set to offer their signature Kottu dishes alongside a selection of flavourful Sri Lankan specialities.
    • Nico’s Gelato & Coffee is set to bring a taste of Italy to Derby. The Derby-based business will offer artisan gelato, hot drinks, and Italian pastries to residents and visitors. The business was founded by Nico, who began making gelato after moving from Italy to Derby, inspired by his memories of Italian summers. After over a decade of creating the perfect gelato recipes, Nico now sells gelato across the city. 

    Sustainably fashion forward:

    • With over 10 years of experience, vintage fashion trader Mardy Ducks will offer a selection of handpicked, on-trend, and affordable vintage clothing, including brands such as Carhartt, Ralph Lauren, Patagonia, and The North Face. At the heart of the brand’s mission is to extend the life cycle of clothing, reduce waste, and promote sustainability.
    • Also joining the fashion offer will be The Oddities Store (TOS), an award-winning luxury fashion brand. TOS specialise in made-to-order collections and deconstructed fashion pieces, transforming second-hand luxury materials into one-of-a-kind designs. As a Black-owned business, TOS uses its Afrocentric influences to blend timeless elegance with contemporary design, carefully handcrafting each individual garment. 

    Councillor Nadine Peatfield, Leader of Derby City Council and Cabinet Member for City Centre, Regeneration, Strategy and Policy, said:

    I am incredibly excited to announce the first traders who will be moving into Derby Market Hall when it reopens its doors on Saturday 24 May. From international street food to sustainable fashion, the new –and old- traders each have something truly special to offer to every resident and visitor.

    I am particularly excited to welcome the public into the revitalised Market Hall at a time when we are entering a new era for Derby’s independent shopping, dining, and entertainment scene. I am certain that the carefully curated set of traders will be met with much anticipation and will be a massive success for the Market Hall’s incredible offer.

    Located at the heart of the city centre, linking Derbion and St Peter’s Quarter with the Cathedral Quarter and Becketwell, the redeveloped Market Hall will play a key role in widening the diversity of the city centre and is expected to generate £3.64m for the local economy every year. 

    More traders are set to be announced in the coming weeks.

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    March 17 NSU Advanced Engineering School “Cognitive Engineering” held an interregional conference “Engineering education in school: real cases and best practices”. The event was attended by more than 40 teachers of additional education from the Novosibirsk, Omsk and Irkutsk regions.

    The opening of the conference was addressed by the Director of the Advanced Engineering School of NSU, Sergei Golovin:

    — It is no secret that filling engineering activities with projects involving the real sector of the economy is what our state and region encourage, so that children, having entered universities and studied, become engineers who will create technological independence for Russia. The goal of today’s conference is to discuss how to properly build an engineering methodology in schools, how to involve local industry in projects, and decompose enterprise tasks for school projects. Today, NSU PISH presents the final of the additional professional education program for teachers and mentors who have already prepared their real cases, which they will implement in their territory.

    Leading experts in the field of additional secondary vocational education presented reports on best practices and modern approaches to the implementation of school engineering projects and the interaction of educational institutions with industrial partners. The main goal of the conference was to exchange knowledge and skills in the field of involving schoolchildren in engineering activities, as well as discuss strategies that contribute to the successful implementation of school projects and the establishment of strong partnerships with industrial companies.

    Among the leading speakers are Svetlana Yakovleva, Head of the Department of Educational Policy in the Sphere of General Education of the Ministry of Education of the Novosibirsk Region. The conference also featured Natalia Gornostaeva, Head of the Altair Regional Center, Maya Gichgeldieva, Director of the Education Foundation, and co-founder of the Garage Tesla project Sergey Salnikov.

    The representative of the Ministry presented general information on the development of engineering activities in the Novosibirsk Region. At present, there are 81 general education organizations in the region, where there are engineering classes. There are also 119 institutions of additional education in the Novosibirsk Region, where children can engage in technical creativity. Among them are children’s technology parks.

    Within the framework of the national project “Youth and Children”, 382 centers of education in natural sciences and technology were implemented, which covered more than 2,600 children. In 2024, on the basis of ten organizations of additional education, engineering and technical circles were created for joint educational and industrial activities of children and adults.

    Concluding her speech, Svetlana Yakovleva emphasized:

    — Technical education is certainly a priority in the education system of the Novosibirsk Region. I am confident that the support measures implemented by the Ministry of Education of the Region will improve the quality of training of graduates and engineering personnel for the industry of the Novosibirsk Region.

    An important part of the conference was the presentations by graduates of the program “Methodological and technical support for additional education programs for children in engineering, technology and natural sciences” from the Advanced Engineering School of NSU – these are teachers of additional education from the Novosibirsk and Omsk regions.

    The program graduates presented roadmaps for the comprehensive implementation of additional education programs in technical areas: microelectronics and unmanned systems. The teachers presented projects for the implementation of programs that will stimulate schoolchildren’s interest in engineering, and also shared plans for interaction with high-tech enterprises to set engineering tasks and adapt them for schoolchildren.

    Following the conference, proposals were formulated for further coordination of actions between representatives of additional education on the issue of developing engineering in the school environment.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, NY, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Diamond Equity Research, a leading equity research firm with a focus on small capitalization public companies has released update note on uCloudlink Group Inc. (NASDAQ: UCL). The update note includes information on uCloudlink Group Inc.’s financial results, management commentary, recent developments, outlook, risks, and our revised valuation estimates.

    The update note is available below.

    uCloudlink Group Update Note March 2025

     

    Highlights from the note include:

    •UCL Announced Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results – uCloudlink reported total revenues of $26.0 million, up 19.5% year over year, compared to our estimate of $25.3 million. The increase was primarily due to a 60.9% YoY increase in product sales from an expanded product offering driven by the surging demand for the company’s data-related products. Overall gross margin was 43.0%, compared to 52.0% in Q4 2023. Total operating expenses grew from $12.1 million to $14.1 million, of which S&M expenses increased by 52.6% over the year as the company increased its investment in promotion and brand building in the B2C arena to gain exposure for its newly launched products. UCL’s net loss for Q4 2024 was $1.5 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted ADS, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted ADS a year ago. For the fiscal year 2024, UCL continued its growth momentum with total revenues reaching $91.6 million, up 7.1% from $85.6 million in 2023, thanks to increased product sales as the company diversified its product offerings to meet market demand. Overall gross margin for 2024 was 48.4% vs. 49.0% in 2023, while total operating expenses increased from $37.9 million to $42.0 million, leading to a net income of $4.6 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted ADS. UCL’s top-line growth was in line with our expectations. We see the company has the potential to continue this momentum by further diversifying its revenue streams through an expanded product range, while the increased investment in sales and marketing targets improved visibility and market share.

    •PetPhone, eSIM TRIO, and Further Innovations – uCloudlink showcased its latest innovations in connectivity at MWC 2025, including PetPhone, eSIM TRIO, CloudSIM Kit, and HyperConn® mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, which represent huge market opportunities. PetPhone, which is considered the world’s first pet smartphone, enables pet communication through AI-powered live calls, advanced safety through 6-tech global positioning, and tracking through AI health monitoring to achieve interaction between pets and their owners. eSIM TRIO, combining OTA SIM, eSIM, and CloudSIM provides improved connectivity with global coverage. CloudSIM Kit is a plug-and-play IoT solution delivering connectivity for IoT and smart devices. HyperConn® mobile Wi-Fi hotspot (MeowGo G50 Max), backed by HyperConn® technology, offers connectivity across broadband, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and satellite networks. We view these innovations targeting large markets as potentially unlocking new revenue streams for UCL and  driving sales by expanding its user base and strengthening its market presence.

    •Valuation Update – Our valuation for UCL remains $10.00, combining discounted cash flow and comparable company analysis, which is contingent on the company maintaining its successful execution.

    Under the terms of the Sixth Amendment, Liquidia will receive $25.0 million at closing with the potential to receive two additional tranches of funding: $50.0 million upon the first commercial sale of YUTREPIA following receipt of final FDA approval for the treatment of PAH and PH-ILD, so long as no injunction has been issued prohibiting Liquidia from commercializing YUTREPIA for either or both of PAH and PH-ILD, and $25.0 million upon the mutual agreement of the parties after achieving aggregate net sales of YUTREPIA in excess of $100 million at any time on or prior to June 30, 2026.

    Michael Kaseta, Liquidia’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, said: “We appreciate the trust and commitment demonstrated by HCRx during the past several years. We are optimistic that the combination of the proceeds resulting from the Sixth Amendment, and a successful launch of YUTREPIA following the expiration of regulatory exclusivity in May 2025, could lead to Liquidia reaching profitability without the need for additional capital.”

    Clarke Futch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HCRx added: “We continue to look forward to Liquidia’s potential receipt of final FDA approval of YUTREPIA. We strongly believe in YUTREPIA’s ability to address unmet medical needs in patients with PAH and PH-ILD, and we are eager for patients to have access to a new therapeutic option that has demonstrated great clinical promise.” 

    As consideration for the additional $25.0 million funded at closing, Liquidia has agreed to a fixed payment schedule that terminates in 2032. Payments on the last two tranches, when funded, would also follow a fixed payment schedule. The aggregate payments to HCRx are capped at 175% of the total amounts advanced by HCRx, but also include a potential true-up payment to be made by Liquidia if HCRx’s internal rate of return is less than a minimum rate of return on the date the cap is reached. The minimum rates of return for the three new tranches are 16%, 13% and 12%, respectively.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Depot Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Q4 Revenue of $136.8 Million Compared to $148.4 Million in the Prior Year Quarter

    Q4 Operating Expenses Down 16% Year-Over-Year to $15.0 Million

    Q4 Net Income up Significantly to $5.4 Million Compared to a Net Loss of $1.7 Million in the Prior Year Quarter

    Q4 Adjusted Gross Profit up 18% Year-Over-Year to $25.4 Million

    Q4 Adjusted EBITDA up 34% Year-Over-Year to $12.0 Million

    ATLANTA, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot Inc. (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and leading fintech company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. Bitcoin Depot will host a conference call and webcast at 10:00 a.m. ET today. An earnings presentation and link to the webcast will be made available at ir.bitcoindepot.com.

    “As we highlighted in our fourth-quarter pre-announcement, 2024 ended on a strong note, driven by sequential revenue growth and substantial improvements in adjusted EBITDA, both sequentially and year-over-year,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO and Founder of Bitcoin Depot. “In the fourth quarter, we made significant progress in expanding our Bitcoin ATM network and optimizing existing machines to enhance profitability — and the results speak for themselves.

    “Looking ahead, we are confident that the optimization efforts we implemented throughout 2024 will begin to positively impact our financial performance as we move through 2025. With our aggressive international and domestic kiosk expansion strategy, we anticipate that 2025 will mark a strong return to growth for the business. As part of this, we are reintroducing financial guidance, projecting robust growth in the first quarter. Additionally, we remain committed to leveraging our strong cash flow to drive shareholder value initiatives, including the potential for a cash dividend. We have also continued to strengthen our Bitcoin treasury holdings, recently increasing our total to 94 BTC, reflecting our confidence in Bitcoin as a valuable financial asset and an integral part of our business model.”

    Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

    Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $136.8 million compared to $148.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. This decline was driven by the impact of unfavorable legislation that was passed in California that went into effect in January 2024, along with the Company’s continued process of relocating underperforming kiosks to optimize fleet profitability.

    Total operating expenses declined 16% to $15.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $17.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the costs of going public in 2023 that did not recur in 2024.

    Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased significantly to $5.4 million compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was due to lower depreciation and amortization and lower operating expenses in 2024.

    Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2024 increased 18% to $25.4 million from $21.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP measure, in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased approximately 400 basis points to 18.6% compared to 14.5% in the fourth quarter of 2023. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

    Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased 34% to $12.0 million compared to $9.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the higher net income. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

    Full Year 2024 Financial Results

    Revenue in 2024 was $573.7 million from $689.0 million in 2023. This decline was largely driven by the impact of unfavorable legislation that was passed in California that went into effect in January 2024, along with the Company’s continued process of relocating underperforming kiosks in order to optimize fleet profitability.

    Total operating expenses declined 5% to $67.2 million compared to $70.6 million in 2023 due to the costs of going public in 2023 that did not recur in 2024 as well as other cost saving measures.

    Net income in 2024 increased by 432% to $7.8 million compared to $1.5 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due to expenses with going public in 2023 that did not recur in 2024 along with other expense reductions.

    Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measure, in 2024 was $91.4 million compared to $101.0 million in 2023. The adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP measure, in 2024 increased 120 basis points to 15.9% compared to 14.7% in 2023. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

    Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in 2024 was $38.7 million compared to $56.3 million in 2023. The decline was due to the lower revenue. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

    Cash, cash equivalents, and cryptocurrencies were $31.0 million as of the end of 2024 compared to $30.5 million at the end of 2023.

    Q1 2025 Outlook

    Q1 2025 is off to a very strong start as we continue to see growth from our relocation strategy. We anticipate Q1 revenues to be between $151 million and $154 million which would represent growth of between 9% and 11% compared to Q1 2024.

    We are projecting adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2025 to be between $12 million and $14 million which would represent growth of over 200% compared to Q1 of 2024.

In making these statements, we rely upon assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future events or financial results.

    Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Bitcoin Depot reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This press release includes both historical and projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom such as Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Gross Profit margin, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring expenses, share-based compensation, expenses related to the PIPE financing and miscellaneous cost adjustments. Such items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. In addition, Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted Gross Profit (a non-GAAP financial measure) as revenue less cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) and depreciation and amortization adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization. Bitcoin Depot believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit each provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Bitcoin Depot’s results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Bitcoin Depot’s business performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are each key measurements used internally by management to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance and perform strategic and financial planning. However, you should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Bitcoin Depot’s financial results, and further, that Bitcoin Depot may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Bitcoin Depot primarily relies on GAAP results and uses both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit on a supplemental basis. Neither Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Gross Profit should be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP and may not be indicative of Bitcoin Depot’s historical or future operating results. Bitcoin Depot’s computation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate such measures in the same fashion. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such measures.

    Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from the projections of Adjusted EBITDA, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Bitcoin Depot is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.

  • MIL-OSI: 2X Secures Strategic Investment from Insight Partners to Scale Marketing-as-a-Service Category Leadership

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MALVERN, Pa., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 2X, a leader in subscription-based marketing as a service (MaaS), today announced a strategic secondary investment from Insight Partners, a global software investor. The investment comes less than two years after 2X’s initial backing from Recognize, further validating the company’s approach to transforming how B2B organizations scale their marketing and revenue operations to accelerate sustainable growth.

    Insight’s investment reflects confidence in 2X’s tech-enabled subscription-based services model, which enables marketing leaders in today’s resource-constrained environment to achieve greater impact and flexibility while lowering the overall cost of growth. Combined with Recognize’s expertise in next-generation, tech-enabled services businesses, Insight’s renowned software expertise will help create a powerful foundation for 2X’s continued innovation and growth.

    “This investment is validation that our marketing-as-a-service model is the solution to the challenges B2B go-to-market leaders face,” said Domenic Colasante, CEO of 2X. “As B2B growth targets become more ambitious while budgets tighten, our solution enables leaders to accomplish more with less—greater impact, reduced costs, and complete flexibility. We’re excited to have Insight on board along with Recognize to help accelerate our mission to transform how B2B organizations scale revenue growth without increasing costs or operational overhead.”

    According to market analysis, the total addressable market for B2B marketing outsourcing, including internal labor, agency services, and technology services, exceeds $100 billion and is expanding at more than 20% annually. With only a small fraction currently being outsourced efficiently, 2X’s scalable MaaS model is well positioned to grow.

    “At Recognize, we believe the next generation of service companies is emerging, and 2X is a prime example of that evolution,” said David Wasserman, Managing Partner at Recognize. “Since our initial investment less than two years ago, we’ve enjoyed working with the talented 2X team. We believe the addition of Insight Partners will accelerate Dom’s vision of building the preeminent B2B marketing-as-a-service firm.”

    “2X first landed on our radar through their work with Insight’s portfolio companies. We were impressed with their innovative business model and strong product-market fit in solving critical go-to-market challenges for B2B organizations,” said Jeff Horing, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Insight Partners. “We’re excited to partner with 2X to help scale this market to its full potential.”

    Richard Matus, Principal at Insight Partners, added: “We believe 2X is a market leader in the subscription tech-enabled services market, and we’re optimistic about the future of this category. 2X addresses a critical inefficiency in how marketing teams operate, creating a great opportunity to transform the B2B go-to-market landscape.”

    “2X, Insight Partners, and 6sense share a vision for revolutionizing go-to-market execution at scale,” said Jason Zintak, CEO at 6sense, an Insight Partners portfolio company and 2X strategic partner. “As their largest technology partner, we’ve seen firsthand how the 2X team can deliver tangible value through innovation and operational excellence. This partnership aims to expand their reach and enhance how B2B companies approach their entire revenue generation process.”

    Canaccord Genuity served as exclusive financial advisor to 2X in this secondary investment.

  • MIL-OSI: Nasdaq to Convene Texas Business Leaders to Honor the Legacy of Ross Perot Jr.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DALLAS, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Nasdaq will convene top leaders across the Texas economy to celebrate the legacy of Ross Perot Jr. and to discuss strategies for the state’s continued economic prosperity. The event will showcase Perot’s role in driving Texas’ economic success and emphasize the vibrant innovation ecosystem that has been developed under Governor Greg Abbott’s tenure.

    “Ross Perot Jr. has been a steadfast advocate for the entrepreneurship and investment that have reshaped the Texas economy. From leading trailblazing developments such as the expansive AllianceTexas project to being a co-founder of Perot Systems, Ross has been a bedrock of the Texas business community and a major contributor to the state’s phenomenal success,” said Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO of Nasdaq. “His dedication to fostering growth through investments in innovative companies and his decades of philanthropic work embody the values Nasdaq is proud to recognize through this award. We thank Ross for his remarkable contributions and Governor Abbott for his tireless leadership in building an economic ecosystem that has become a global epicenter for growth and innovation.”

    The convening will also feature a keynote speech by Governor Abbott, who will underscore the historic achievement of the “Texas Miracle,” the state’s tremendous economic growth over the past 20 years. Texas’ success is deeply rooted in its culture of risk-taking, hard work, and entrepreneurial spirit—evolving from a legacy of resource-driven wealth into a diversified, business-friendly economy. With forward-thinking investments in infrastructure and education, and a strong, growing population, Texas continues to lead nationally in job creation, business expansion, and economic dynamism.

    “Visionaries like Ross Perot Jr. prove that Texas is the blueprint for American success,” said Governor Greg Abbott. “I’ve known Ross for many years and am proud to call him a great friend. He is a true Texas pioneer whose work in real estate, oil and gas, aviation, and economic development created hundreds of good-paying jobs for hardworking Texans. Entrepreneurs like Ross know that they live in a state where they can cast a vision and achieve it. By continuing to work together, Texas will remain the beacon of economic opportunity and prosperity for generations.”

    To celebrate the economic miracle that has positioned Texas as a national and global powerhouse, Nasdaq will present Ross Perot, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Hillwood and the Perot Company, the inaugural Nasdaq Lifetime Achievement Award. The award recognizes Mr. Perot’s unparalleled contributions to the Texas economy and his lasting impact on innovation, technology, economic prosperity, and community development.

    In 1989, Mr. Perot spearheaded the development of Fort Worth Alliance Airport, the nation’s first industrial airport, through a groundbreaking public-private partnership. This project became the cornerstone of AllianceTexas, a 27,000-acre master-planned, mixed-use community in North Texas. Today, AllianceTexas serves as a global leader in logistics and innovation, anchored by the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone, an integrated ecosystem for surface and air mobility technology to scale and commercialize. Since its inception, AllianceTexas has generated more than $120 billion in regional economic impact.

    Mr. Perot also co-founded Perot Systems Corporation in 1998 with his late father, where he served in various leadership roles, including CEO, Chairman of the Board, and member of its Board of Directors. The company revolutionized the use of information technology in industries like healthcare and was acquired by Dell Inc. in 2009. Following the acquisition, Mr. Perot served on Dell’s Board of Directors until 2013. Through Perot Jain, his venture capital firm, Mr. Perot continues to invest in innovative companies that redefine industries and drive technological progress.

    As an aviation enthusiast and a former fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, Mr. Perot chaired the U.S. Air Force Memorial Foundation, leading a 14-year effort to construct the United States Air Force Memorial in Washington, D.C. In addition to his business and philanthropic achievements, Mr. Perot holds several key leadership roles. He serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and is a board member of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the Hoover Institution. He also holds Board Member Emeritus positions with Vanderbilt University and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

  • MIL-OSI: CURRENC to Develop 500MW Hyperscale AI Data Center in Malaysia

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CURRENC Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CURR) (“CURRENC” or the “Company”), a fintech pioneer empowering financial institutions worldwide with artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, today announced plans to acquire 100 acres of land in Johor, Malaysia, to build a hyperscale Artificial Intelligence Data Center (AIDC).

    Featuring a total planned capacity of 500MW, the 100-acre AIDC campus will be developed in phases. Phase 1, comprising 100MW, is targeted for completion and operation by the end of 2026. The campus will provide co-location and wholesale leasing solutions to hyperscalers, enterprise clients, and other data center users, catering to diverse needs and ensuring a robust tenant base. Upon completion, the facility is expected to be one of Southeast Asia’s largest AIDCs and will serve as a cornerstone in CURRENC’s strategy to accelerate financial institutions’ adoption of AI technology.

    The Company is currently in discussions with anchor tenants. Construction of each phase of the facility will commence once the Company has secured long-term tenants to occupy a substantial portion of that phase’s planned capacity.

    “This investment marks the beginning of a new chapter in CURRENC’s development, complementing our existing portfolio of AI tools for financial institutions,” said Alex Kong, Founder and Executive Chairman of CURRENC. “With open-source models such as DeepSeek and Qwen quickly reducing the cost of AI deployment and large language model training, AI is rapidly becoming a necessity to remain competitive in the financial industry, boosting global demand for AI technology and support. Our new AIDC will deliver unmatched computing power as well as the flexible, scalable infrastructure that financial institutions require to implement AI throughout their operations and thrive in the digital era. Bolstered by our AIDC, CURRENC’s comprehensive AI solutions will continue to lower entry barriers for financial institutions to adopt AI, empowering growth across the financial industry and leading the digital transformation in Southeast Asia and beyond.”

    Johor, located approximately 20 kilometers north of Singapore, is rapidly emerging as Asia-Pacific’s fastest-growing data center hub. The region offers outstanding international data connectivity with direct fiber optic links to Singapore, reliable power infrastructure and attractive tax incentives for both operators and employees offered by the Malaysian government. These favorable conditions position Malaysia as a prime destination for data center operations, particularly catering to the burgeoning demand across the ASEAN region.

    Source: United Kingdom – Government Statements

    Press release

    Chancellor to slash ‘duplicative and burdensome rules’

    Chancellor hosts Fintech CEOs in No. 11 as the Treasury streamlines regulation to boost growth as part of the Government’s Plan for Change.

    • Chancellor and CEOs discussed the Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy, following the Prime Minister’s pledge to cut the administrative cost of regulation on business by a quarter.

    • The Chancellor also delivers on her Mansion House commitment to reform capital markets regulations and boost the attractiveness of the UK’s capital markets.

    This morning (18 March), the Chancellor hosted senior representatives from the Fintech sector in No. 11 Downing Street to discuss the biggest growth opportunities for Fintechs and new draft legislation to streamline regulation and boost the attractiveness of our capital markets.

    This new legislation will deliver reforms to the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) rules, which were inherited from the European Union, and will enable the FCA to scrap any rules which are duplicative and unnecessarily hold UK firms back by designing a new regulatory framework that supports economic growth, this government’s number one mission.

    The Chancellor committed to reforming these rules at her Mansion House speech in November to ensure that they work better for UK companies and they deliver for investors, firms, and support growth across the UK.

    This will mark the next milestone in delivering the government’s wholesale market reforms and will boost the attractiveness of the UK’s capital markets.

    This forms part of the Chancellor’s radical action plan to cut red tape, boost growth, and create a more effective regulatory system, delivering on the Prime Minister’s pledge to cut the administrative cost of regulation on business by a quarter.

    The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, said:

    We are taking action to make our rulebook more competitive to support growth, the number one mission for our Plan for Change, and have asked the FCA to reform the regulatory structure around capital markets to make it work better for UK firms. This will ensure they can grow and invest across the economy, kickstarting growth and getting more money in people’s pockets.

    The public sector’s financial development differs depending on the level of government. The latest forecasts of the Federal Finance Administration (FFA) through to 2028 show that the Confederation’s financial situation will depend heavily on the relief package in particular. The cantons are likely to continue to generate surpluses, while the municipalities are set to return to small structural deficits from 2026 onward. Due to the unresolved funding for the 13th monthly AHV pension payment, there is still considerable uncertainty for the social security funds.

  • MIL-OSI: KIP’s First Superior Agent Trading Tournament Concludes, Showcasing AI-Driven Market Evolution

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KIP Protocol, the Web3 base layer for AI, has successfully completed the first-ever fully autonomous on-chain AI trading tournament, marking a significant milestone in self-learning artificial intelligence. Powered by Superior Agents, the world’s first truly autonomous AI framework, the competition demonstrated how AI-driven market strategies can evolve, adapt, and execute trades without human intervention.

    Over 48 hours of live trading, AI agents started with an equal balance of $500, dynamically refining their strategies in real-time. By the tournament’s conclusion, SEFER, running on o3-mini, secured first place with a 34.8% increase in capital, finishing at $674. PONDER, powered by Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite, followed with a 6.2% gain, reaching $531. DEIXIS, operating on Claude 3.7 Sonnet, closed at $530 with a 6.0% increase, while VERITY, using DeepSeek V3, ended with a slight 1.0% loss at $495. The competition also awarded a $150 USDT prize to @Zardl00n, who made the most accurate prediction of SEFER’s final balance.

    Unlike traditional algorithmic trading models, Superior Agents do not follow predefined rules or static datasets. Instead, they self-learn, refine their decision-making, and develop novel strategies through trial and error. The tournament served as a stress test for financial autonomy, proving that AI can navigate and optimize within a live trading environment without human oversight. This marks a fundamental shift in AI capabilities, moving beyond programmed behaviors to dynamic, self-improving intelligence capable of surviving and thriving in real-world economic conditions.

    Dr. Jennifer Dodgson, Co-Founder and Chief Researcher of Superior Agents, emphasized the tournament’s significance in the evolution of AI. “This event was more than just a competition—it was a proof of concept. We now have AI agents that are not only trading but actively learning from their successes and failures, evolving their strategies in real-time. This is a glimpse into the future of AI-driven economies, where autonomous agents sustain themselves financially and operate independently in complex environments.”

    Following the success of the tournament, KIP Protocol plans to expand the Superior Agent framework into new domains, including cybersecurity, AI-driven gaming, and autonomous business intelligence. Future iterations will introduce more challenging environments, increasing complexity and pushing the limits of self-learning AI. With deeper integration into the KIP Protocol ecosystem, these advancements will unlock new opportunities for $KIP holders, further solidifying AI’s role in decentralized economies.

    As Superior Agents continue to evolve, the next phase of testing will explore how they adapt to unpredictable, high-stakes environments. The upcoming challenges will not only refine AI autonomy but also reshape the landscape of AI-driven finance and beyond. The question remains—how far can these agents go? Stay tuned as KIP continues to push the boundaries of AI and its real-world applications.
