    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inuvo, Inc. (NYSE American: INUV), a leading provider of artificial intelligence AdTech solutions, today provided a business update and announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

    • Revenue was a record $26.7 million; a 57% increase compared to $17.0 million in Q1. 2024; highest revenue in the Company’s history.
    • Gross profit increased 41% to $21.1 million, compared to $14.9 million in Q1 2024.
    • Net loss per share was $0.01 compared to $0.02 in the prior year.  
    • Adjusted EBITDA loss was $22 thousand, compared to a loss of $1.0 million for Q1 2024.

    First Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights:

    • The company launched the enhanced IntentKey Self-Serve Platform, an advanced AI agent for audience discovery and targeting.
    • The company added 20 new IntentKey clients and now has 15 self-service clients. 
    • The company introduced IntentKey zip code-level audience insights and targeting.
    • The company materially grew both Platform and the Agencies & Brands product lines. 

    Richard Howe, CEO of Inuvo, stated, “I’m thrilled to announce another record quarter, our second consecutive, with 57% year-over-year growth driven by both product lines. As Q1 is typically our weakest quarter, this strong performance sets a positive tone for the year ahead.” Mr. Howe added, “Our Platform product is benefiting from technology and service enhancements initiated in late 2023, while Agencies & Brands are thriving with enhanced capabilities that enable marketers to quickly identify and target virtually any audience they can conceive, in minutes.”

    Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31,2025

    Net revenue for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $26.7 million, compared to $17.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year came from a 61% increase within Platforms and a 31% increase within Agencies & Brands.

    Cost of revenue for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $5.6 million, compared to $2.1 million for the same period last year. The increase in the cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period last year, was related to higher Platform revenue and the introduction of a new product.

    Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $21.1 million as compared to $14.9 million for the same period last year. Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was 79% as compared to 87.7% for the same period last year. The lower gross margin was due to changes in product mix.

    Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $22.9 million compared to $17 million for the same period last year. Operating expenses are composed of marketing costs, compensation and general & administrative expenses. For the three-months ended March 31, 2025, all three categories of operating expense increased year-over-year.

    Marketing costs increased due to the higher expenses associated with Platform revenue growth. Compensation expense was higher due primarily to a one-time accrual of an employee benefit of $335,000 and to higher incentive accrual. General and administrative expense was $1.1 million higher year-over-year primarily due to a reduction of the allowance for expected credit losses last year.

    Finance expense, net of interest income, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $28 thousand compared to $20 thousand in the same quarter last year. Finance expense this year included $77 thousand of interest income from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a delayed employee retention credit.

    Other income was approximately $541 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 in comparison with $0 for the same quarter in 2024. In March 2025, the Company received a payment from the IRS totaling $610 thousand in connection with an employee retention credit filed in 2023. Of the total payment, $533 thousand was recognized in other Income.

    Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.3 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.

    Adjusted EBITDA [see reconciliation table below] was near break-even at a loss of approximately $22 thousand in the first quarter of 2025 compared to a loss of approximately $1.0 million for the same period last year.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources:

    On March 31, 2025, Inuvo had $2.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, an unused working capital facility of $10.0 million and no debt.

    As of May 2, 2025, Inuvo had 144,253,434 common shares issued and outstanding.

    Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 

    We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We defined EBITDA as Net loss plus (i) interest expense, (ii) depreciation, and (iii) amortization. We further define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (iv) stock-based compensation and (v) certain identified expenses that are not expected to recur or be representative of future ongoing operation of the business. These adjustments are itemized above. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in the presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

    “During the quarter we saw continued FCC momentum with a unanimous vote in March to further explore PNT solutions, specifically including NextNav’s,” said NextNav’s CEO, Mariam Sorond. “We remain focused on executing against our goals and addressing an urgent national security need for a terrestrial complement and backup to GPS. We look forward to working with the FCC and the rest of the industry to enable PNT resiliency.”

    • Operating Loss: was $17.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to an operating loss of $16.2 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher professional fees and outside consulting expenses, partially offset by reductions in software license costs and payroll-related expenses.

  • MIL-OSI: Plains All American Reports First-Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HOUSTON, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) today reported first-quarter 2025 results and provided the following highlights:

    First-Quarter Results

    • Reported net income attributable to PAA of $443 million and net cash provided by operating activities of $639 million
    • Delivered Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA of $754 million
    • Exited the quarter with 3.3x leverage ratio, toward the low end of our target range of 3.25x – 3.75x (includes previously announced and closed transactions)
    • Paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.38 per unit ($1.52 per unit annualized), representing a current distribution yield of ~9.0%

    Business Highlights

    • Plains acquired the remaining 50% interest in Cheyenne Pipeline, enhancing our integration from the Guernsey market to pipelines supplying Cushing, Oklahoma, which closed on February 28, 2025
    • Plains acquired Black Knight Midstream’s Permian Basin crude oil gathering business, for approximately $55 million, which closed effective May 1, 2025
    • Placed into service the 30 Mb/d Fort Saskatchewan fractionation complex debottleneck project enhancing our fee-based cash flow in Canada
    • Increased our 2025 C3+ spec product sales hedge profile to approximately 80% at approximately $0.70 per gallon level

    “Plains delivered another quarter of solid operational and financial performance,” said Willie Chiang, Chairman and CEO. “Substantial cash flow generation from our integrated Crude Oil and NGL footprints coupled with a strong balance sheet positions us well through a time of market volatility and uncertainty. Our focus on efficient growth remains consistent with the addition of two new bolt-on acquisitions and our Fort Saskatchewan fractionation complex debottleneck project now in service. Finally, our commitment to financial discipline and financial flexibility remains unchanged while continuing to return cash to unitholders through a strong distribution payout.”

    Summary of Selected Financial Data by Segment (unaudited)
    (in millions)

      Segment Adjusted EBITDA
      Crude Oil   NGL
    Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 $ 559     $ 189  
    Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 $ 553     $ 159  
    Percentage change in Segment Adjusted EBITDA versus 2024 period   1 %     19 %
                   

    First-quarter 2025 Crude Oil Segment Adjusted EBITDA was in line with comparable 2024 results. Favorable results in the 2025 period from (i) higher tariff volumes on our pipelines, (ii) tariff escalations and (iii) contributions from recently completed bolt-on acquisitions were largely offset by (iv) higher operating expenses and (v) the impact to our assets from refinery downtime.

    First-quarter 2025 NGL Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 19% versus comparable 2024 results primarily due to higher weighted average frac spreads and NGL sales volumes in the first quarter of 2025.

    Plains GP Holdings

    PAGP owns an indirect non-economic controlling interest in PAA’s general partner and an indirect limited partner interest in PAA. As the control entity of PAA, PAGP consolidates PAA’s results into its financial statements, which is reflected in the condensed consolidating balance sheet and income statement tables attached hereto.

    Conference Call and Webcast Instructions

    PAA and PAGP will hold a joint conference call at 9:00 a.m. CT on Friday, May 9, 2025 to discuss first-quarter performance and related items.

    Alternatively, the webcast can be accessed on our website at https://ir.plains.com/news-events/events-presentations. Following the live webcast, an audio replay will be available on our website and will be accessible for a period of 365 days. Slides will be posted prior to the call at the above referenced website.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability

    To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures known as “non-GAAP financial measures” in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future and to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. The primary additional measures used by management are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”), Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.

    Our definition and calculation of certain non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied DCF and certain other non-GAAP financial performance measures are reconciled to Net Income, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions and certain other non-GAAP financial liquidity measures are reconciled to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP) for the historical periods presented in the tables attached to this release, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. In addition, we encourage you to visit our website at www.plains.com (in particular the section under “Financial Information” entitled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” within the Investor Relations tab), which presents a reconciliation of our commonly used non-GAAP and supplemental financial measures. We do not reconcile non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as it is impractical to do so without unreasonable effort.

    Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax (expense)/benefit, (iii) depreciation and amortization (including our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization, including write-downs related to cancelled projects and impairments, of unconsolidated entities), (iv) gains and losses on asset sales, asset impairments and other, net, (v) gains on investments in unconsolidated entities, net and (vi) interest income on promissory notes by and among PAA and certain Plains entities, and (vii) adjusted for certain selected items impacting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA excludes the portion of Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable to noncontrolling interests.

    Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used to supplement related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our core operating performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders through cash generated by our operations and (ii) provide investors with the same financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning/budgeting decisions. We also present these and additional non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income attributable to PAA and basic and diluted adjusted net income per common unit, as they are measures that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial performance measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) gains and losses on derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), gains and losses on derivatives that are either related to investing activities (such as the purchase of linefill) or purchases of long-term inventory, and inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable, (iii) long-term inventory costing adjustments, (iv) items that are not indicative of our core operating results and/or (v) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our core operating performance. These measures may be further adjusted to include amounts related to deficiencies associated with minimum volume commitments whereby we have billed the counterparties for their deficiency obligation and such amounts are recognized as deferred revenue in “Other current liabilities” in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We also adjust for amounts billed by our equity method investees related to deficiencies under minimum volume commitments. Such amounts are presented net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue. Furthermore, the calculation of these measures contemplates tax effects as a separate reconciling item, where applicable. We have defined all such items as “selected items impacting comparability.” Due to the nature of the selected items, certain selected items impacting comparability may impact certain non-GAAP financial measures, referred to as adjusted results, but not impact other non-GAAP financial measures. We do not necessarily consider all of our selected items impacting comparability to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, but we believe that an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability is material to the evaluation of our operating results and prospects.

    Although we present selected items impacting comparability that management considers in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions, divestitures, investment capital projects and numerous other factors. These types of variations may not be separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in management’s discussion and analysis of operating results in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

    Non-GAAP Financial Liquidity Measures

    Management uses the non-GAAP financial liquidity measures Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, less Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Investing Activities, which primarily includes acquisition, investment and maintenance capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated entities and the impact from the purchase and sale of linefill, net of proceeds from the sales of assets and further impacted by distributions to and contributions from noncontrolling interests and proceeds from the issuance of related party notes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.

    We also present these measures and additional non-GAAP financial liquidity measures as they are measures that investors have indicated are useful. We present the Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) for use in assessing our underlying business liquidity and cash flow generating capacity excluding fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow excluding the impact of “Changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities).

    _____________________

    (1) We calculate net income allocated to common unitholders based on the distributions pertaining to the current period’s net income. After adjusting for the appropriate period’s distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to common unitholders and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of our partnership agreement in effect for the period and as further prescribed under the two-class method.
    (2) We repurchased approximately 12.7 million Series A preferred units on January 31, 2025. The difference between the cash we paid for the repurchase of such units and their carrying value on our balance sheet is considered a return to Series A preferred unitholders for the calculation of net income allocated to common unitholders.
    (3) The possible conversion of our Series A preferred units was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common unit for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 as the effect was antidilutive.
    (4) Our equity-indexed compensation plan awards that contemplate the issuance of common units are considered potentially dilutive unless (i) they become vested only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. Equity-indexed compensation plan awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical common unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.

    _____________________

    (1) We calculate adjusted net income allocated to common unitholders based on the distributions pertaining to the current period’s net income. After adjusting for the appropriate period’s distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to the common unitholders and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of our partnership agreement in effect for the period and as further prescribed under the two-class method.
    (2) See the “Selected Items Impacting Comparability” table for additional information.
    (3) We repurchased approximately 12.7 million Series A preferred units on January 31, 2025. The difference between the cash we paid for the repurchase of such units and their carrying value on our balance sheet is considered a return to Series A preferred unitholders for the calculation of adjusted net income allocated to common unitholders.
    (4) The possible conversion of our Series A preferred units was excluded from the calculation of diluted adjusted net income per common unit for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 as the effect was antidilutive.
    (5) Our equity-indexed compensation plan awards that contemplate the issuance of common units are considered potentially dilutive unless (i) they become vested only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. Equity-indexed compensation plan awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical common unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.

    (1) Certain of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be impacted by each of the selected items impacting comparability. See the “Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF Reconciliation” and “Computation of Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Common Unit” tables for additional details on how these selected items impacting comparability affect such measures.
    (2) We use derivative instruments for risk management purposes and our related processes include specific identification of hedging instruments to an underlying hedged transaction. Although we identify an underlying transaction for each derivative instrument we enter into, there may not be an accounting hedge relationship between the instrument and the underlying transaction. In the course of evaluating our results, we identify differences in the timing of earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions and exclude the related gains and losses in determining adjusted results such that the earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions impact adjusted results in the same period. In addition, we exclude gains and losses on derivatives that are related to (i) investing activities, such as the purchase of linefill, and (ii) purchases of long-term inventory. We also exclude the impact of corresponding inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable. For applicable periods, we excluded gains and losses from the mark-to-market of the embedded derivative associated with the Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Option of our Series A preferred units.
    (3) We carry crude oil and NGL inventory that is comprised of minimum working inventory requirements in third-party assets and other working inventory that is needed for our commercial operations. We consider this inventory necessary to conduct our operations and we intend to carry this inventory for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we classify this inventory as long-term on our balance sheet and do not hedge the inventory with derivative instruments (similar to linefill in our own assets). We treat the impact of changes in the average cost of the long-term inventory (that result from fluctuations in market prices) and write-downs of such inventory that result from price declines as a selected item impacting comparability.
    (4) We, and certain of our equity method investees, have certain agreements that require counterparties to deliver, transport or throughput a minimum volume over an agreed upon period. Substantially all of such agreements were entered into with counterparties to economically support the return on capital expenditure necessary to construct the related asset. Some of these agreements include make-up rights if the minimum volume is not met. We record a receivable from the counterparty in the period that services are provided or when the transaction occurs, including amounts for deficiency obligations from counterparties associated with minimum volume commitments. If a counterparty has a make-up right associated with a deficiency, we defer the revenue attributable to the counterparty’s make-up right and subsequently recognize the revenue at the earlier of when the deficiency volume is delivered or shipped, when the make-up right expires or when it is determined that the counterparty’s ability to utilize the make-up right is remote. We include the impact of amounts billed to counterparties for their deficiency obligation, net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue or equity earnings, as a selected item impacting comparability. We believe the inclusion of the contractually committed revenues associated with that period is meaningful to investors as the related asset has been constructed, is standing ready to provide the committed service and the fixed operating costs are included in the current period results.
    (5) Our total equity-indexed compensation expense includes expense associated with awards that will be settled in units and awards that will be settled in cash. The awards that will be settled in units are included in our diluted net income per unit calculation when the applicable performance criteria have been met. We consider the compensation expense associated with these awards as a selected item impacting comparability as the dilutive impact of the outstanding awards is included in our diluted net income per unit calculation, as applicable. The portion of compensation expense associated with awards that will be settled in cash is not considered a selected item impacting comparability.
    (6) During the periods presented, there were fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, resulting in the realization of foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions as well as the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. The associated gains and losses are not integral to our results and were thus classified as a selected item impacting comparability.
    (7) Primarily related to acquisitions completed during the first quarter of 2025.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this release consist of forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from results or outcomes anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the following:

    • general economic, market or business conditions in the United States and elsewhere (including the potential for a recession or significant slowdown in economic activity levels, the risk of persistently high inflation and supply chain issues, the impact of global public health events, such as pandemics, on demand and growth, and the timing, pace and extent of economic recovery) that impact (i) demand for crude oil, drilling and production activities and therefore the demand for the midstream services we provide and (ii) commercial opportunities available to us;
    • declines in global crude oil demand and/or crude oil prices or other factors that correspondingly lead to a significant reduction of North American crude oil and NGL production (whether due to reduced producer cash flow to fund drilling activities or the inability of producers to access capital, or both, the unavailability of pipeline and/or storage capacity, the shutting-in of production by producers, government-mandated pro-ration orders, or other factors), which in turn could result in significant declines in the actual or expected volume of crude oil and NGL shipped, processed, purchased, stored, fractionated and/or gathered at or through the use of our assets and/or the reduction of the margins we can earn or the commercial opportunities that might otherwise be available to us;
    • fluctuations in refinery capacity and other factors affecting demand for various grades of crude oil and NGL and resulting changes in pricing conditions or transportation throughput requirements;
    • unanticipated changes in crude oil and NGL market structure, grade differentials and volatility (or lack thereof);
    • the effects of competition and capacity overbuild in areas where we operate, including downward pressure on rates, volumes and margins, contract renewal risk and the risk of loss of business to other midstream operators who are willing or under pressure to aggressively reduce transportation rates in order to capture or preserve customers;
    • the successful operation of joint ventures and joint operating arrangements we enter into from time to time, whether relating to assets operated by us or by third parties, and the successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses;
    • the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or other strategic opportunities and realize benefits therefrom;
    • environmental liabilities, litigation or other events that are not covered by an indemnity, insurance or existing reserves;
    • negative societal sentiment regarding the hydrocarbon energy industry and the continued development and consumption of hydrocarbons, which could influence consumer preferences and governmental or regulatory actions that adversely impact our business;
    • the occurrence of a natural disaster, catastrophe, terrorist attack (including eco-terrorist attacks) or other event that materially impacts our operations, including cyber or other attacks on our or our service providers’ electronic and computer systems;
    • weather interference with business operations or project construction, including the impact of extreme weather events or conditions (including hurricanes, floods, wildfires and drought);
    • the impact of current and future laws, rulings, legislation, governmental regulations, executive orders, trade policies, trade tariffs, accounting standards and statements, and related interpretations that (i) prohibit, restrict or regulate the development of oil and gas resources and the related infrastructure on lands dedicated to or served by our pipelines or (ii) negatively impact our ability to develop, operate or repair midstream assets, or (iii) otherwise negatively impact our business or increase our exposure to risk;
    • negative impacts on production levels in the Permian Basin or elsewhere due to issues associated with (or laws, rules or regulations relating to) hydraulic fracturing and related activities (including wastewater injection or disposal), including earthquakes, subsidence, expansion or other issues;
    • the pace of development of natural gas or other infrastructure and its impact on expected crude oil production growth in the Permian Basin;
    • the refusal or inability of our customers or counterparties to perform their obligations under their contracts with us (including commercial contracts, asset sale agreements and other agreements), whether justified or not and whether due to financial constraints (such as reduced creditworthiness, liquidity issues or insolvency), market constraints, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), the exercise of contractual or common law rights that allegedly excuse their performance (such as force majeure or similar claims) or other factors;
    • loss of key personnel and inability to attract and retain new talent;
    • disruptions to futures markets for crude oil, NGL and other petroleum products, which may impair our ability to execute our commercial or hedging strategies;
    • the effectiveness of our risk management activities;
    • shortages or cost increases of supplies, materials or labor;
    • maintenance of our credit ratings and ability to receive open credit from our suppliers and trade counterparties;
    • our inability to perform our obligations under our contracts, whether due to non-performance by third parties, including our customers or counterparties, market constraints, third-party constraints, supply chain issues, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), or other factors or events;
    • the incurrence of costs and expenses related to unexpected or unplanned capital or maintenance expenditures, third-party claims or other factors;
    • failure to implement or capitalize, or delays in implementing or capitalizing, on investment capital projects, whether due to permitting delays, permitting withdrawals or other factors;
    • tightened capital markets or other factors that increase our cost of capital or limit our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms to fund additional acquisitions, investment capital projects, working capital requirements and the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness;
    • the amplification of other risks caused by volatile or closed financial markets, capital constraints, liquidity concerns and inflation;
    • the use or availability of third-party assets upon which our operations depend and over which we have little or no control;
    • the currency exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the United States dollar;
    • the deferral of current revenue recognition attributable to deficiency payments received from customers who fail to ship or move their minimum contracted volumes;
    • significant under-utilization of our assets and facilities;
    • increased costs, or lack of availability, of insurance;
    • fluctuations in the debt and equity markets, including the price of our units at the time of vesting under our long-term incentive plans;
    • risks related to the development and operation of our assets; and
    • other factors and uncertainties inherent in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil, as well as in the processing, transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGL as discussed in the Partnerships’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Management Commentary

    “TeraWulf continues to advance its strategy of developing scalable, sustainable infrastructure for both Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing. As outlined during our fourth quarter 2024 earnings call, our key priorities for 2025 include energizing Miner Building 5 and deploying our upgraded mining fleet, delivering Core42’s contracted 72.5 MW of HPC capacity on schedule, securing financing for our initial HPC data center buildout, and signing additional customers to reach between 200 and 250 megawatts of contracted HPC capacity by the end of 2026,” said Paul Prager, Chief Executive Officer of TeraWulf.

    “We’ve made meaningful progress on each of these fronts. In late Q1 and early Q2, we energized Miner Building 5, bringing total capacity at Lake Mariner to 245 MW. We remain on track to deliver the Core42 deployment this year and have initiated the financing process to support our next phase of HPC growth.”

    Prager added, “We continue to see robust medium- and long-term demand for high-density, energy-efficient digital infrastructure. In this environment, TeraWulf’s vertically integrated energy platform provides a distinct competitive advantage. We are focused on building a high-value, durable business that is designed to scale with demand and deliver long-term returns.”

    Patrick Fleury, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “With $219.6 million in cash and bitcoin holdings at quarter-end, we are well-capitalized to fund our near-term growth. HPC hosting revenue is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2025 as our data halls come online. We also returned $33 million to shareholders during the quarter through share repurchases, reflecting our continued commitment to disciplined capital allocation.”

    First Quarter 2025 GAAP Financial Results

    Revenue for the first quarter decreased 19% year-over-year to $34.4 million, reflecting anticipated headwinds from the April 2024 halving, increased network difficulty, and elevated power prices, partially offset by a higher average bitcoin price and expanded mining capacity.

    Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, increased 70%  year-over-year to $24.6 million, driven by greater infrastructure utilization and temporary increases in power costs due to extreme winter weather in Upstate New York.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of March 31, 2025, the Company held $219.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and bitcoin. Total outstanding debt was approximately $500.0 million, consisting of the Company’s 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2030. As of May 7, 2025, TeraWulf had 384,584,010 shares of common stock outstanding.

    As part of the Company’s regular review of its capital management activities, our Board of Directors recently approved:

    • A new $200 million At-the-Market (ATM) common equity offering program, to replace the existing ATM facility.
    • A refreshed authorization for a $200 million common stock repurchase program, providing continued flexibility to return capital to shareholders when appropriate.

    These programs are intended to preserve flexibility in managing the Company’s capital structure and liquidity position.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    We have not provided reconciliations of preliminary and projected Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income/(loss). Providing net income/(loss) is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in net income/(loss), including but not limited to asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. Reconciliations of this non-GAAP measure with the most comparable GAAP measure for historical periods is indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Please reference the “Non-GAAP financial information” accompanying our quarterly earnings conference call presentations on our website at www.terawulf.com/investors for our GAAP results and the reconciliations of these measures, where used, to the comparable GAAP measures.

    Non-GAAP Measure

    The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company defines non-GAAP “Adjusted EBITDA” as net loss adjusted for: (i) impacts of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (ii) stock-based compensation expense and amortization of right-of-use asset, which are non-cash items that the Company believes are not reflective of its general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment, and the resulting expenses could vary significantly in comparison to other companies; (iii) equity in net income of investee, net of tax, related to Nautilus; (iv) interest income which management believes is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating activities; and (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, which is not reflective of the Company’s general business performance. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA also included the impact of distributions from investee received in bitcoin related to a return on the Nautilus investment, which management believes, in conjunction with excluding the impact of equity in net income of investee, net of tax, is reflective of assets available for the Company’s use in its ongoing operations as a result of its investment in Nautilus.

    Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company’s core business operating results and those of other companies, and provides the Company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its own core business operating results over different periods of time. In addition to management’s internal use of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management believes the foregoing to be the case even though some of the excluded items involve cash outlays and some of them recur on a regular basis (although management does not believe any of such items are normal operating expenses necessary to generate the Company’s bitcoin related revenues). For example, the Company expects that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers, directors and consultants. Additionally, management does not consider any of the excluded items to be expenses necessary to generate the Company’s bitcoin related revenue.

    The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Although management utilizes internally and presents Adjusted EBITDA, the Company only utilizes that measure supplementally and does not consider it to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by U.S. GAAP financial results. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

    The following table is a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure (i.e., net loss) for the periods indicated (in thousands):

      Three Months Ended March 31,

    1 Excludes bitcoin earned from profit sharing associated with a hosting agreement that expired in February 2024 at the Lake Mariner Facility and includes TeraWulf’s net share of bitcoin produced at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility in Q1 2024.

    2 The Company’s share of the earnings or losses of operating results at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility in Q1 2024 is reflected within “Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, operating results of the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility are not reflected in revenue, cost of revenue or cost of operations lines in TeraWulf’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses these metrics as indicators of operational progress and effectiveness and believes they are useful to investors for the same purposes and to provide comparisons to peer companies. All figures except Bitcoin Self-Mined are estimates.

    3 Excludes bitcoin earned from profit sharing associated with a bitcoin miner hosting agreement that expired in February 2024 at the Lake Mariner Facility and includes TeraWulf’s net share of bitcoin mined at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, based on the hashrate share attributed to the Company.

    4 Computed as the weighted-average opening price of bitcoin on each respective day the self-mined bitcoin is earned.

    5 While nameplate inventory for the Lake Mariner Facility was 12.2 EH/s and 8.0 EH/s as of Q1 2025 and Q1 2024, respectively, actual monthly hash rate performance depends on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) performance tuning to increase efficiency and maximize margin, scheduled outages (scopes to improve reliability or performance), unscheduled outages, curtailment due to participation in various cash generating demand response programs, derate of ASICS due to adverse weather and ASIC maintenance and repair. Note the 8.0 EH/s in the table in Q1 2024 is nameplate capacity and average operating hashrate was 6.8 EH/s.

    “We are off to a strong start following the completion of the combination with Teads. In the first quarter, we delivered financial results above the mid-range of our guidance, while closing the acquisition, issuing five-year senior secured notes, and reaching many major milestones of integration and synergy realization. We are in the early days, but the feedback to our brandformance platform strategy from the hundreds of advertisers and media owners we have met has been highly encouraging,” said David Kostman, CEO of Teads.

    First Quarter 2025 Business Highlights:

    • Completed the acquisition of Teads, for total consideration of approximately $900 million, comprised of $625 million in cash and 43.75 million shares of Outbrain common stock. The combined company is operating under the name Teads.
    • Expect to realize approximately $65 million to $75 million of synergies in 2026 with further opportunities for expanded synergies. Of this amount, approximately $60 million relates to cost synergies, including approximately $45 million of compensation-related expenses, with approximately 90% of the estimated compensation-related synergies already actioned. For 2025, expect to realize a benefit from cost synergies of approximately $40 million, which represents an increase from initial expectations.
    • Initial cross-selling of legacy Outbrain performance solutions to legacy Teads enterprise brand customers launched in Q2 with several campaigns sold.
    • New strategic Joint Business Partnerships (JBPs) with Ferrero, Haleon, Philip Morris International, and Beiersdorf.
    • ~500 advertisers spending at least a half a million dollars on a rolling 12 month basis, with an average spend of over $2 million annually, which represents approximately 70% of total customer spend.
    • CTV experienced more than 100% year-over-year growth in Q1 2025, and now represents approximately 5% of total ad spend.
    • Continued strong adoption of Moments vertical video offering launched in Q3 2024 and is now live on over 70 publishers, including Axel Springer, Fox News, and Webedia.
    • Premium supply competitive wins include Godo (Spain) WWS (Japan), and renewals include Conde Nast and TMZ (US), Ansa (Italy), Webedia (France) and Sankei (Japan).

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

    • Revenue of $286.4 million, an increase of $69.4 million, or 32%, compared to $217.0 million in the prior year period primarily due to the acquisition, including net unfavorable foreign currency effects of approximately $2.6 million.
    • Gross profit of $82.7 million, an increase of $41.1 million, or 99%, compared to $41.6 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased to 28.9%, compared to 19.2% in the prior year period, reflecting the higher gross margin profile of the acquired business.
    • Ex-TAC gross profit of $103.1 million, an increase of $50.9 million, or 98%, compared to $52.2 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the acquisition. Our Ex-TAC gross margin increased to 36.0%, compared to 24.0% in the prior year period, reflecting the higher margin profile of the acquired business.
    • Net loss of $54.8 million, compared to net loss of $5.0 million in the prior year period. Net loss in the current period includes pre-tax acquisition-related costs of $16.4 million, impairment charges of $15.6 million primarily related to the discontinuance of the vi product offering, restructuring charges of $7.3 million related to our previously announced restructuring plan to streamline operations and reduce duplicative roles post-acquisition, and bridge facility related costs of $12.0 million.
    • Adjusted net loss of $15.3 million, compared to adjusted net loss of $4.9 million in the prior year period.
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $10.7 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.4 million in the prior year period.
    • Net cash used in operating activities of $1.0 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8.6 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow was $(6.6) million, as compared to $4.6 million in the prior year period, primarily related to cash outflows related to transaction costs and restructuring charges of $16.2 million.
    • Cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities were $155.9 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $136.3 million and short-term investments in marketable securities of $19.6 million as of March 31, 2025.
    • Total debt obligations were $627.0 million, including the $610.8 million carrying value of the 10% senior secured notes due 2030 issued in February 2025 (principal amount of $637.5 million, net of unamortized discount and deferred financing costs) and $16.2 million outstanding under a short-term overdraft facility assumed in the acquisition.
    • Entered into a credit agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank, U.S. Bank Trust Company, and certain other lenders, which provided, among other things, for a new $100.0 million super senior secured revolving credit facility, which expires on February 3, 2030, which may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The prior revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, dated as of November 2, 2021 was terminated.

    Second Quarter Guidance

    The following forward-looking statements reflect our expectations for the second quarter and full year of 2025.

    For the second quarter ending June 30, 2025, we expect:

    • Ex-TAC gross profit of $141 million to $150 million
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $26 million to $34 million

    For the full year ending December 31, 2025, we continue to expect:

    • Adjusted EBITDA of at least $180 million

    The above measures are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for which a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable efforts. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. In addition, our guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties, as outlined below in this release.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to GAAP performance measures, we use the following supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, and allocate our resources: Ex-TAC gross profit, Ex-TAC gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted diluted EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures below. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to significant limitations, including those we identify below. In addition, other companies in our industry may define these measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures. As a result, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue, gross profit, net income (loss), diluted EPS, or cash flows from operating activities presented in accordance with GAAP.

    Because we are a global company, the comparability of our operating results is affected by foreign exchange fluctuations. We calculate certain constant currency measures and foreign currency impacts by translating the current year’s reported amounts into comparable amounts using the prior year’s exchange rates. All constant currency financial information that may be presented is non-GAAP and should be used as a supplement to our reported operating results. We believe that this information is helpful to our management and investors to assess our operating performance on a comparable basis. However, these measures are not intended to replace amounts presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similar measures calculated by other companies.

    The Company is also providing second quarter and full year guidance. These forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are calculated based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. The Company has not provided quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is unable, without unreasonable effort, to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of all excluded items that may arise during the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Such excluded items could be material to the reported results individually or in the aggregate.

    Ex-TAC Gross Profit

    Ex-TAC gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. Gross profit is the most comparable GAAP measure. In calculating Ex-TAC gross profit, we add back other cost of revenue to gross profit. Ex-TAC gross profit may fluctuate in the future due to various factors, including, but not limited to, seasonality and changes in the number of media partners and advertisers, advertiser demand or user engagements.

    We present Ex-TAC gross profit, Ex-TAC gross margin (calculated as Ex-TAC gross profit as a percentage of revenue), and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Ex-TAC gross profit, because they are key profitability measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short-term and long-term operational plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. There are limitations on the use of Ex-TAC gross profit in that traffic acquisition cost is a significant component of our total cost of revenue but not the only component and, by definition, Ex-TAC gross profit presented for any period will be higher than gross profit for that period. A potential limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that other companies, including companies in our industry, which have a similar business, may define Ex-TAC gross profit differently, which may make comparisons difficult. As a result, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue or gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before gain on convertible debt; interest expense; interest income and other income (expense), net; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; and other income or expenses that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance, including but not limited to, acquisition-related costs, restructuring, and impairment charges. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because it is a key profitability measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short-term and long-term operational plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital, and we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period.

    We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. However, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplemental measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measures of our financial performance that are calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS

    Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net income (loss) excluding items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance, including but not limited to gain on convertible debt, merger and acquisition costs, regulatory matter costs, and severance costs related to our cost saving initiatives. Adjusted net income (loss), as defined above, is also presented on a per diluted share basis. We present adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted EPS as supplemental performance measures because we believe they facilitate performance comparisons from period to period. However, adjusted net income (loss) or adjusted diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or diluted earnings per share reported in accordance with GAAP.

    Free Cash Flow

    Free cash flow is defined as cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs. Free cash flow is a supplementary measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our ability to generate cash and we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of our available cash flows. Free cash flow should be considered as a supplemental measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measures of our financial performance that are calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.

    Forward-Looking Statements
    This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements generally relating to possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, plans and objectives, and statements relating to our recently completed acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of TEADS, a private limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Teads”).

  • MIL-OSI: Oak Ridge Financial Services, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2025 Results and 17% Increase in Quarterly Cash Dividend

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    OAK RIDGE, N.C., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Oak Ridge Financial Services, Inc. (“Oak Ridge”; or the “Company”) (OTCPink: BKOR), the parent company of Bank of Oak Ridge (the “Bank”), announced unaudited financial results for the first three months of 2025 and an increase of $0.02, or 17%, in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.14 per common share.

    First Quarter 2025 Highlights

    • Earnings per share were $0.57, up from $0.56 in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $0.50 in the first quarter of 2024.
    • Return on equity of 10.04%, compared to 9.63% for the prior quarter and 9.31% for the first quarter of 2024.
    • Net Income was $1.6 million, up from $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2024.
    • Tangible book value per common share of $23.50 as of period end, compared to $23.02 at the end of the prior quarter, and $21.80 at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
    • Dividends declared per common share of $0.14, up 17% from $0.12 for the prior quarter and the first quarter of 2024.
    • Net interest margin was 3.97%, increasing from 3.92% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and from 3.79% in the first quarter of 2024, representing a sequential increase of 5 basis points and a year-over-year increase of 18 basis points.
    • Efficiency ratio of 66.8%, compared to 64.6% for the prior quarter and 68.3% for the first quarter of 2024.
    • Loans receivable of $528.5 million at quarter end, up 11.7% (annualized) from $514.3 million as of the prior quarter end, up 10.7% from $477.4 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
    • Nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.67% at quarter end, compared to 0.44% as of the prior quarter end and 0.07% at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
    • Nonperforming assets were $4.6 million at quarter end, compared to $3.5 million as of the prior quarter-end and $461,000 as of the prior year quarter end. $4.0 million of the $4.1 million increase in nonperforming assets from the prior year quarter-end to the current quarter end is due to the guaranteed and nonguaranteed balances of eight Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) loans that moved to nonaccrual status during the third and fourth quarters of 2024, and the first quarter of 2025. The balances as of March 31, 2025, of SBA nonperforming loans guaranteed and unguaranteed by the SBA were $3.1 million and $858,000, respectively.
    • Securities available-for-sale and held-to maturity of $98.9 million at quarter end, representing an annualized decrease of 21.1% from $104.4 million at the prior quarter end, and a decrease of 8.3% from $107.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
    • Total deposits of $542.5 million at quarter end, representing annualized growth of 8.6% from $531.3 million at the prior quarter end, and an increase of 9.2% from $496.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
    • Total short and long-term borrowings, junior subordinated notes, and subordinated debentures of $59.7 million at quarter end, representing an annualized increase of 10.5% from $58.2 million at the prior quarter end, and a decrease of 7.0% from $64.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
    • Total stockholders’ equity of $64.3 million at quarter end, up 8.6% (annualized) from $63.0 million as of the prior quarter end, up 8.0% from $59.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
    • On March 31, 2025, the Bank’s Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) was 11.1%, up slightly from 11.0% on December 31, 2024. A bank or savings institution electing to use the CBLR will generally be considered well-capitalized and to have met the risk-based and leverage capital requirements of the capital regulations if it has a leverage ratio greater than 9.0%.

    We are pleased to report a strong start to 2025, marked by solid financial performance and a significant 17% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.14 per share. Our first quarter earnings demonstrated positive momentum, showing improvement both sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2024 and year-over-year. We continued to experience healthy loan growth, achieving a double-digit annualized rate, supported by a robust deposit base and strategic use of borrowings. While we noted a manageable increase in nonperforming assets predominantly related to specific SBA loans, our overall asset quality remains sound, and our net interest margin strengthened during the quarter. Our capital and liquidity positions remain robust, providing a strong foundation for continued growth and the ability to deliver enhanced value to our shareholders. At Oak Ridge, our commitment to building strong client relationships through tailored financial solutions remains paramount, and we appreciate the dedication of our team in consistently serving our customers and managing the Bank effectively.

    The $0.02, or 17% increase in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend to $0.14 per share of common stock will be paid on June 9, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 23, 2025. “We are proud of our record of regularly increasing our quarterly cash dividend to our stockholders,” said Mr. Wayne. “Paying stockholders a portion of our earnings reflects our continuing commitment to enhance stockholder value.”

    For the three months ending March 31, 2025 and 2024, net interest income was $6.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively. For the three months ending March 31, 2025, the net interest margin increased 18 basis points to 3.97%, compared to 3.79% for the three months ending March 31, 2024.

    For the three months ending March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $304,000, compared to a provision for credit losses of $264,000 in the same period in 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.05% and 1.03% on March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As highlighted earlier, nonperforming assets increased during the quarter and represented 0.67% of total assets on March 31, 2025, compared to 0.07% on March 31, 2024. The recorded balances of nonperforming loans were $4.6 million on March 31, 2025, compared to $461,000 on March 31, 2024. The $4.1 million increase in nonperforming loans from March 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to eight SBA 7(a) loans totaling $4.0 million moving to nonaccrual status during the third and fourth quarters of 2024, and the first quarter of 2025, of which $3.1 million is guaranteed by the SBA. The SBA loans are also secured by real estate and personal guarantees.

    Noninterest income experienced a decrease from $918,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $784,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This net decrease of $134,000 was driven by offsetting trends within its components. A significant increase was observed in service charges on deposit accounts, which rose from $628,000 in the first quarter of 2024 to $836,000 in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to the implementation of a new deposit account fee in 2024. Conversely, income from Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) investments decreased. The Company recorded $209,000 in income from these investments during the three months ended March 31, 2024, but recognized no comparable income in the same period of 2025 due to no income distributions received.

    Noninterest expense increased from $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing a net increase of $400,000. Several categories contributed significantly to this rise. Salaries increased by $188,000 to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, up from $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher salaries and incentive payments. Employee benefits also saw an increase of $100,000, rising to $370,000 in the first quarter of 2025 from $270,000 in the corresponding 2024 period, mainly due to increased expenses related to the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan and overall employee benefits. Occupancy expenses rose by $47,000 to $321,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $274,000 in 2024, largely due to higher property maintenance costs. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in equipment expense of $80,000, falling to $134,000 in the first quarter of 2025 from $214,000 in the same period of 2024, primarily due to lower equipment depreciation expense. Data and items processing expense also increased by $108,000 to $602,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, up from $494,000 in 2024, mainly due to higher software licensing fees paid to the Bank’s core processing vendor.

  • MIL-OSI: Portman Ridge Finance Corporation Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Reports Net Investment Income of $0.47 Per Share and Net Asset Value of $18.85 Per Share

    Deployment of Approximately $17.5 Million and Sales and Repayments of Approximately $15.7 Million for Net Deployment of Approximately $1.8 Million

    Announces Second Quarter 2025 Quarterly Base Distribution of $0.47 Per Share

    Investors are Encouraged to Vote FOR the Acquisition of Logan Ridge Finance Corporation

    NEW YORK, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (Nasdaq: PTMN) (the “Company” or “Portman Ridge”) announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    First Quarter 2025 Highlights

    • Total investment income for the first quarter of 2025 was $12.1 million, down from $14.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, due to the reversal of previously accrued income after a portfolio company was placed on non-accrual status in the first quarter of 2025.
    • Core investment income1, excluding the impact of purchase price accounting, for the first quarter of 2025 was $12.1 million, as compared to $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
    • Net investment income (“NII”) for the first quarter of 2025 was $4.3 million ($0.47 per share), inclusive of the reversal of $0.4 million ($0.05 per share) of previously accrued interest income on a loan that was placed on non-accrual in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $5.5 million ($0.60 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2024.
    • Net asset value (“NAV”), as of March 31, 2025, was $173.5 million ($18.85 per share), as compared to NAV of $178.5 million ($19.41 per share) as of December 31, 2024.
    • Deployments of approximately $17.5 million and sales and repayments of approximately $15.7 million, resulting in net deployments of approximately $1.8 million.

    Subsequent Events

    • On May 8, 2025, the Company declared a regular quarterly base distribution of $0.47 per share of common stock. The distribution is payable on May 29, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 19, 2025.

    Management Commentary
    Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Portman Ridge, stated, “During the first quarter we continued to execute on our disciplined investment strategy, deploying approximately $17.5 million into strong, defensively positioned portfolio companies. Concurrently, we had $15.7 million in repayments and sales, resulting in our return to net deployers of capital.

    Looking ahead, the current macroeconomic backdrop shaped by shifting trade dynamics, inflation, and ever-evolving monetary policy, continues to drive uncertainty in the market. These dynamics highlight the importance of taking a long-term approach, grounded in disciplined credit selection and prudent risk management. That said, we view this as an opportunity to further differentiate through thoughtful deployment and rigorous underwriting, backed by our prudent investment strategy and experienced management team. I remain confident in our ability to drive the best outcome for shareholders.

    Finally, we continue to believe in the strategic benefits the combination with Logan Ridge will provide. This merger represents a meaningful step forward for the Company, with the potential to provide increased scale, improved liquidity, and greater operational efficiency, all of which are critical to enhancing long-term shareholder value. We encourage shareholders to vote FOR the proposed merger, as recommended by the Board of Directors of both companies. We are excited about the road ahead and look forward to sharing more updates soon.”

    Liquidity and Capital Resources
    As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $255.4 million (par value) of outstanding borrowings at a current weighted average interest rate of 5.9%, of which $108.0 million par value had a fixed rate of 4.875% (Notes due 2026), and $147.4 million par value had a floating rate under the JPM Credit Facility.

    As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the fair value of investments and cash were as follows:

    ($ in thousands)    
    Security Type March 31, 2025     December 31, 2024  
    Cash and Cash Equivalents $ 9,233     $ 17,532

    As of March 31, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cash of $9.2 million and restricted cash of $14.3 million. This compares to unrestricted cash of $17.5 million and restricted cash of $22.4 million as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $52.6 million of available borrowing capacity under the JPM Credit Facility.

    Interest Rate Risk
    The Company’s investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including SOFR and prime rates.

    As of March 31, 2025, approximately 88.5% of our Debt Securities Portfolio at par value were either floating rate with a spread to an interest rate index such as SOFR or the PRIME rate. 84.2% of these floating rate loans contain floors ranging between 0.50% and 5.25%. We generally expect that future portfolio investments will predominately be floating rate investments.

    In periods of rising or lowering interest rates, the cost of the portion of debt associated with the 4.875% Notes Due 2026 would remain the same, given that this debt is at a fixed rate, while the interest rate on borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility would fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

    Generally, the Company would expect that an increase in the base rate index for floating rate investment assets would increase gross investment income and a decrease in the base rate index for such assets would decrease gross investment income (in either case, such increase/decrease may be limited by interest rate floors/minimums for certain investment assets).

    1 Core investment income represents reported total investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase discount accretion in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”) and Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) mergers. Portman Ridge believes presenting core investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance.
    2 Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and (B) NAV. Portman Ridge believes presenting a net leverage ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because it reflects the Company’s financial condition net of $23.5 million and $40.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. However, the net leverage ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for the regulatory asset coverage ratio and other similar information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the net leverage ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial condition.

  • MIL-OSI: Ready Capital Corporation Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    – GAAP EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS OF $0.47
    – DISTRIBUTABLE LOSS PER COMMON SHARE OF $(0.09)
    – DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE BEFORE REALIZED LOSSES OF $0.00

    NEW YORK, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ready Capital Corporation (“Ready Capital” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RC), a multi-strategy real estate finance company that originates, acquires, finances, and services lower-to-middle-market (“LMM”) investor and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    “Market volatility, tariff implementations, declining consumer confidence and increased recession expectations provide headwinds for our business”, said Thomas Capasse, Ready Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite this challenging macroeconomic environment, the Company continues to take decisive actions to reset the balance sheet and restore profitability.”

    First Quarter Highlights

    • LMM commercial real estate originations of $79 million
    • Small Business Lending (“SBL”) loan originations of $387 million, including $343 million of Small Business Administration 7(a) loans
    • Declared and paid dividend of $0.125 per share in cash
    • Book value of $10.61 per share of common stock as of March 31, 2025
    • Completed the acquisition of United Development Funding IV, a real estate investment trust providing capital solutions to residential real estate developers and regional homebuilders
    • Acquired approximately 3.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $5.02 per share as part of stock repurchase program
    • Closed a private placement of $220 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2028

    Subsequent Events

    On April 16, 2025, ReadyCap Holdings issued an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2028. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of such notes to repay its indebtedness.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

    In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release includes distributable earnings, formerly referred to as core earnings, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. The Company defines distributable earnings as net income adjusted for unrealized gains and losses related to certain mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) not retained by us as part of our loan origination business, realized gains and losses on sales of certain MBS, unrealized gains and losses related to residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) from discontinued operations, unrealized changes in our current expected credit loss reserve, unrealized gains or losses on de-designated cash flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses on foreign exchange hedges, unrealized gains or losses on certain unconsolidated joint ventures, non-cash compensation expense related to our stock-based incentive plan, and one-time non-recurring gains or losses, such as gains or losses on discontinued operations, bargain purchase gains, or merger related expenses.

    The Company believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, in addition to the related U.S. GAAP measures, provides investors greater transparency into the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, including the determination of dividends. However, because distributable earnings is an incomplete measure of the Company’s financial performance and involves differences from net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, the Company’s net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of the Company’s financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of distributable earnings may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.

    In calculating distributable earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS acquired by the Company in the secondary market but is not adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by Ready Capital as part of its loan origination businesses, where the Company transfers originated loans into an MBS securitization and the Company retains an interest in the securitization. In calculating distributable earnings, the Company does not adjust Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to take into account unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by us as part of the loan origination businesses because the unrealized gains and losses that are generated in the loan origination and securitization process are considered to be a fundamental part of this business and an indicator of the ongoing performance and credit quality of the Company’s historical loan originations. In calculating distributable earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude realized gains and losses on certain MBS securities considered to be non-distributable. Certain MBS positions are considered to be non-distributable due to a variety of reasons which may include collateral type, duration, and size.

    In addition, in calculating distributable earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains or losses on residential MSRs, held at fair value from discontinued operations. Servicing rights relating to the Company’s small business commercial business are accounted for under ASC 860, Transfer and Servicing. In calculating distributable earnings, the Company does not exclude realized gains or losses on commercial MSRs, as servicing income is a fundamental part of Ready Capital’s business and is an indicator of the ongoing performance.

    To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute to its stockholders each calendar year at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (including certain items of non-cash income), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. There are certain items, including net income generated from the creation of MSRs, that are included in distributable earnings but are not included in the calculation of the current year’s taxable income. These differences may result in certain items that are recognized in the current period’s calculation of distributable earnings not being included in taxable income, and thus not subject to the REIT dividend distribution requirement until future years.

    The table below reconciles Net Income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Distributable Earnings.

  • MIL-OSI: VAALCO Energy, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HOUSTON, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VAALCO Energy, Inc. (NYSE: EGY, LSE: EGY) (“Vaalco” or the “Company”) today reported operational and financial results for the first quarter of 2025.

    First Quarter 2025 Highlights and Recent Key Items:

    • Reported net income of $7.7 million ($0.07 per diluted share), Adjusted Net Income of $6.3 million ($0.06 per diluted share) and Adjusted EBITDAX(1)of $57.0 million;
    • Produced 17,764 net revenue interest (NRI)(2)barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”), above the high end of guidance, or 22,402 working interest (WI)(3)BOEPD, toward the high end of guidance;
    • Sold 19,074 NRI BOEPD, toward the high end of guidance;
    • Entered into new reserves based revolving credit facility with an initial commitment of $190 million with the ability to grow to $300 million, secured against certain Vaalco assets;
    • Reduced full year capital expenditure guidance by about 10%, without impacting full year production or sales guidance;
    • Acquired 70% WI(3)in and will operate the CI-705 block in offshore Côte D’Ivoire;
    • Declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per share of common stock to be paid on June 27, 2025; and
    • Announced that it will host a Capital Markets Day presentation on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
    (1) Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Working Capital and Free Cash Flow are Non-GAAP financial measures and are described and reconciled to the closest GAAP measure in the attached table under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
    (2) All NRI sales and production rates are Vaalco’s working interest volumes less royalty volumes, where applicable.
    (3) All WI production rates and volumes are Vaalco’s working interest volumes, where applicable.

    George Maxwell, Vaalco’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We delivered another successful quarter, once again meeting or exceeding our guidance. Sales for the first quarter were toward the high end of guidance and our NRI production was above the high end of guidance, leading to solid net income of $0.07 per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDAX of $57.0 million. We continue to execute our strategic vision, with multiple accomplishments achieved in the first quarter that lay the foundation for profitable growth in 2025 and beyond. We entered into a new credit facility that will supplement our internally generated cash flow and cash balance to assist in funding our robust organic growth projects. In Côte D’Ivoire, we commenced the FPSO refurbishment project and are preparing for a drilling campaign in 2026 to augment the production and economic life of the Baobab field. In Gabon, we are preparing for the 2025/2026 drilling program which is scheduled to begin in Q3 2025. While we are continuing with these two major projects, we have decided to reduce our capital expenditure budget for 2025 by about 10%. We are delaying discretionary capital spending and are deferring our capital program in Canada. We are doing all of this without impacting production or sales forecasts for 2025 due to the strong performance of our assets in Gabon and Egypt.”

    “We believe that we are well positioned to fund the meaningful growth and opportunities that we have planned over the next few years which should lead to even greater growth and value for the remainder of the decade. We look forward to providing additional details at our Capital Markets Day next week describing our diversified asset portfolio and the upside that we believe is available to drive future organic growth.”

    Operational Update

    Egypt

    The start of the 2024 drilling campaign was deferred until late 2024. In Q4 2024, we completed one well. In Q1 2025, we completed an additional five wells. Four of the five wells that were completed in Q1 2025 were brought online and had an average initial production rate for the first 30 days of approximately 135 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”). The fifth well was brought online in early Q2 2025. In addition to all new wells successfully increasing production levels, new reserves and a new production zone were discovered in the Bakr formation. The Company is reviewing several options to improve flow as the reservoir contains heavier oil.

    The Company continues to perform detailed technical reviews of its newly drilled and existing wells while also continuing to work on enhancing production through a series of planned workovers and recompletions.

    Canada

    In the first half of 2024, Vaalco drilled and completed four 2.75 mile lateral wells in Canada. These wells continue to meet production expectations and the Company is monitoring their longer-term performance for future drilling opportunities. In 2025, Vaalco has decided to defer the drilling of additional wells in Canada to reduce the Company’s overall capital expenditures.

    Gabon

    The Company secured a drilling rig in December 2024 in conjunction with its 2025/2026 drilling program, which is planned to begin in Q3 2025 to drill multiple development wells, and appraisal or exploration wells, as well as to perform workovers, with options to drill additional wells. Vaalco plans to drill the wells at both the Etame platform and at the Seent platform, and perform a re-drill and several workovers in the Ebouri field to access production and reserves that were previously shut in and removed from proved reserves due to the presence of hydrogen sulfide (“H2S”).

    In Q1 2025, Vaalco conducted an extended flow test on the Ebouri 4-H well to gather information on the H2S concentrations at this location to aid in equipment design and to evaluate Vaalco’s chemical crude sweetening process. The well has flowed for over four months, and the H2S concentration is within modeling expectations, demonstrating Vaalco’s ability to treat the oil. The well has provided additional production, with some additional operating costs associated with the chemical treatment, adding to the Company’s strong first quarter results.

    Côte d’Ivoire

    As part of the planned dry dock refurbishment, the Baobab Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (“FPSO”) ceased hydrocarbon production on January 31, 2025 and the final lifting of crude oil from the FPSO took place in February 2025. The vessel departed from the field in late March 2025 and is now currently under tow to the shipyard in Dubai for the refurbishment. Significant development drilling is expected to begin in 2026 after the FPSO is expected to return to service with potential meaningful additions to production from the main Baobab field in CI-40, as well as a potential future development of the Kossipo field, which is also on the license.

    In March 2025, Vaalco announced that it had farmed into the CI-705 block offshore Côte d’Ivoire. Vaalco is the operator of the block with a 70% WI and a 100% paying interest through a commercial carry arrangement and is partnering with Ivory Coast Exploration Oil & Gas SAS and PETROCI. The CI-705 block is located in the prolific Tano basin and is approximately 70 kilometers (“km”) to the west of Vaalco’s CI-40 Block, where the Baobab and Kossipo oil fields are located, and 60 km west of ENI’s recent Calao discovery. Block CI-705 covers approximately 2,300 km2 and is lightly explored with three wells drilled to date on the block. The water depth across the block ranges from zero to 2,500 meters. Vaalco has invested $3 million to acquire its interest in the new block, which it believes has significant prospectivity.

    Financial UpdateFirst Quarter of 2025

    Vaalco reported net income of $7.7 million ($0.07 per diluted share) for Q1 2025, which was down 34% compared with net income of $11.7 million ($0.11 per diluted share) in Q4 2024 and up modestly compared to $7.7 million ($0.07 per diluted share) in Q1 2024. The decrease in earnings compared with Q4 2024 was driven by lower sales volume in Q1 2025 of 1,717 MBOE compared to a sales volume of 1,872 MBOE in Q4 2024 and higher production expense, partially offset by lower depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) and lower income tax expense.

    Adjusted EBITDAX totaled $57.0 million in Q1 2025, a 25% decrease from $76.2 million in Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes and higher production expense. Adjusted EBITDAX was down 8% from $61.7 million generated in Q1 2024.

    In Q1 2025, Vaalco had a net revenue decrease of $11.4 million or 9% compared to Q4 2024 as total NRI sales volumes of 1,717 MBOE was 8% lower than the Q4 2024 volumes of 1,872 MBOE but was 15% higher compared to 1,490 MBOE for Q1 2024, primarily due to production from the Cote d’Ivoire assets acquired in April 2024. Q1 2025 NRI sales were toward the high end of Vaalco’s guidance.

    Total production expense (excluding offshore workovers and stock compensation) of $44.7 million in Q1 2025 increased by 23% compared to Q4 2024 and 39% compared to Q1 2024. The increase in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024 was primarily driven by higher expenses in Gabon related to government audit settlements of approximately $4.7 million (net to Vaalco), additional chemical costs associated with the H2S treatment and to the increased sales associated with the purchase of the Côte d’Ivoire asset. The increase in Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024 was driven by higher expenses in Gabon related to the government audit settlements and higher chemical costs.

    DD&A expense for Q1 2025 was $30.3 million which was lower than $37.0 million in Q4 2024 and higher than $25.8 million in Q1 2024. The decrease in Q1 2025 DD&A expense compared to Q4 2024 is due primarily to the impact of the year end 2024 depletion adjustments based on the year end reserve reports. The increase in Q1 2025 DD&A expense compared to Q1 2024 is due to higher depletable costs in Côte d’Ivoire partially offset by lower depletable costs in Gabon, Egypt, and Canada.

    General and administrative (“G&A”) expense, excluding stock-based compensation, increased slightly to $7.8 million in Q1 2025 from $7.1 million in Q4 2024 and increased from $5.9 million in Q1 2024. The increase in G&A expenses compared to Q1 2024 was primarily due to higher professional service fees, salaries and wages, and accounting and legal fees. Q1 2025 cash G&A was within the Company’s guidance.

    Non-cash stock-based compensation expense was $1.4 million for Q1 2025 compared to $0.9 million for Q1 2024. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense for Q4 2024 was $1.4 million.

    Other income (expense), net, was an expense of $2.4 million for Q1 2025, compared to an expense of $2.3 million during Q1 2024 and an expense of $9.7 million for Q4 2024. Other income (expense), net, normally consists of foreign currency losses and interest expense, net. Also in Q4 2024, the Company recorded a reduction in the bargain purchase gain of $6.4 million as a result of the change in fair value estimates of the net assets acquired in the Svenska acquisition.

    Income tax expense (benefit) was an expense for Q1 2025 of $16.1 million and is comprised of current expense of $17.7 million and deferred tax benefit of $1.6 million. In Q1 2024, income tax expense was $22.3 million and is comprised of current expense of $25.7 million and deferred tax benefit of $3.4 million. Q4 2024 income tax expense was $17.2 million, and is comprised of current tax expense of $26.2 million and deferred tax benefit of $9.0 million.

    Capital Investments/Balance Sheet

    For the first quarter of 2025, net capital expenditures totaled $58.5 million on a cash basis and $51.3 million on an accrual basis. These expenditures were primarily related to costs associated with project costs and long lead items for Gabon and Côte d’Ivoire and the development drilling program in Egypt.

    At the end of the first quarter of 2025, Vaalco had an unrestricted cash balance of $40.9 million. Working capital at March 31, 2025 was $23.2 million compared with $56.2 million at December 31, 2024, while Adjusted Working Capital at March 31, 2025 totaled $40.4 million.

    In March 2025, Vaalco entered into a new reserves based revolving credit facility (the “new facility”) with an initial commitment of $190 million and the ability to grow to $300 million, led by The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited, Isle of Man Branch with other participating banks and financial partners. The new facility, which is subject to customary administrative conditional precedents, replaces the Company’s existing undrawn revolving credit facility that was provided by Glencore Energy UK Ltd. The Company arranged the new facility primarily to provide short-term funding that may be needed from time-to-time to supplement its internally generated cash flow and cash balance as it executes its planned investment programs across its diversified asset base over the next few years.

    Quarterly Cash Dividend

    Vaalco paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per share of common stock for the first quarter of 2025 on March 28, 2025. The Company also recently announced its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per share of common stock for the second quarter of 2025 ($0.25 annualized), to be paid on June 27, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 23, 2025. Future declarations of quarterly dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to approval by the Vaalco Board of Directors.

    Hedging

    The Company continued to opportunistically hedge a portion of its expected future production to lock in strong cash flow generation to assist in funding its capital and shareholder return programs.

    The following includes hedges remaining in place as of the end of the first quarter of 2025:

                        Weighted Average Hedge Price ($/Bbl)

Where a forward-looking statement expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “aim,” “target,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “may,” “likely,” “plan” and “probably” or similar words may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements relating to (i) estimates of future drilling, production, sales and costs of acquiring crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; (ii) expectations regarding Vaalco’s ability to effectively integrate assets and properties it has acquired as a result of the Svenska acquisition into its operations; (iii) expectations regarding future exploration and the development, growth and potential of Vaalco’s operations, project pipeline and investments, and schedule and anticipated benefits to be derived therefrom; (iv) expectations regarding future acquisitions, investments or divestitures; (v) expectations of future dividends; (vi) expectations of future balance sheet strength; and (vii) expectations of future equity and enterprise value.

    Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities of Vaalco; the ability to generate cash flows that, along with cash on hand, will be sufficient to support operations and cash requirements; risks relating to the timing and costs of completion for scheduled maintenance of the FPSO servicing the Baobab field; and the risks described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Vaalco’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Dividends beyond the second quarter of 2025 have not yet been approved or declared by the Board of Directors for Vaalco. The declaration and payment of future dividends remains at the discretion of the Board and will be determined based on Vaalco’s financial results, balance sheet strength, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects, crude oil and natural gas prices, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. The Board reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of dividends. Consequently, in determining the dividend to be declared and paid on Vaalco common stock, the Board may revise or terminate the payment level at any time without prior notice.

    Any forward-looking statement made by Vaalco in this press release is based only on information currently available to Vaalco and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as may be required by applicable securities laws, Vaalco undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

    Other Oil and Gas Advisories

    Investors are cautioned when viewing BOEs in isolation. BOE conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalencies described above, utilizing such equivalencies may be incomplete as an indication of value.

    Inside Information

    This announcement contains inside information as defined in Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 on market abuse which is part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“MAR”) and is made in accordance with the Company’s obligations under article 17 of MAR.

    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

    Management uses Adjusted Net Income to evaluate operating and financial performance and believes the measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and/or other items that management does not consider to be indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period. Management also believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors to evaluate and compare the Company’s operating and financial performance across periods, as well as to facilitate comparisons to others in the Company’s industry. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents net income, plus deferred income tax expense (benefit), unrealized derivative instrument loss (gain), bargain purchase gain on the Svenska Acquisition, FPSO demobilization, transaction costs related to the Svenska acquisition and non-cash and other items.

    Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by Vaalco’s management and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, lenders, rating agencies, investors and others who follow the industry. Management believes the measure is useful to investors because it is as an indicator of the Company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents net income, plus interest expense (income) net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration expense, FPSO demobilization, non-cash and other items including stock compensation expense, bargain purchase gain on the Svenska Acquisition, other operating (income) expense, net, non-cash purchase price adjustment, transaction costs related to acquisition, credit losses and other and unrealized derivative instrument loss (gain).

    Management uses Adjusted Working Capital as a transition tool to assess the working capital position of the Company’s continuing operations excluding leasing obligations because it eliminates the impact of discontinued operations as well as the impact of lease liabilities. Under the applicable lease accounting standards, lease liabilities related to assets used in joint operations include both the Company’s share of expenditures as well as the share of lease expenditures which its non-operator joint venture owners’ will be obligated to pay under joint operating agreements. Adjusted Working Capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents working capital excluding working capital attributable to discontinued operations and current liabilities associated with lease obligations.

    Management uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate financial performance and to determine the total amount of cash over a specified period available to be used in connection with returning cash to shareholders, and believes the measure is useful to investors because it provides the total amount of net cash available for returning cash to shareholders by adding cash generated from operating activities, subtracting amounts used in financing and investing activities, effects of exchange rate changes on cash and adding back amounts used for dividend payments and stock repurchases. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and adds the amounts paid under dividend distributions and share repurchases over a specified period.

    Free Cash Flow has significant limitations, including that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary purposes and should not be used as a substitute for cash flow measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow should not be considered as a substitute for cashflows from operating activities before discontinued operations or any other liquidity measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow may vary among other companies. Therefore, the Company’s Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income have significant limitations, including that they do not reflect the Company’s cash requirements for capital expenditures, contractual commitments, working capital or debt service. Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Working Capital and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and operating income (loss), and the calculation of these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Working Capital and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Working Capital and Free Cash Flow.

  • MIL-OSI: Logan Ridge Finance Corporation Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

     Reports Solid First Quarter Results with Net Investment Income of $0.35 Per Share and a Net Asset Value of $29.66 Per Share

    Declared a Distribution of $0.36 Per Share for the Second Quarter of 2025

    Successfully Exited its Equity Investment in GA Communications, Inc., Further Reducing the Company’s Non-Yielding Equity Portfolio

    Investors are Encouraged to Vote FOR the Merger with Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (“PTMN”)

    NEW YORK, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (“Logan Ridge”, “LRFC”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) (Nasdaq: LRFC) announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    First Quarter 2025 Highlights

    • Total investment income was $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $5.4 million reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
    • Net investment income (“NII”) was $0.9 million, or $0.35 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $1.5 million or $0.56 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
    • Net asset value was $29.66 per share as of March 31, 2025, as compared to $32.04 per share as of December 31, 2024.
    • The Company made approximately $15.1 million of investments and had approximately $12.4 million in repayments and sales of investments, resulting in net deployment of approximately $2.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    Subsequent Events

    • On May 7, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a second quarter distribution of $0.36 per share, payable on May 29, 2025, to stockholders of record as of May 19, 2025.

    Management Commentary
    Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer and President of Logan Ridge, said, “Following record results in 2024, Logan Ridge continued to make significant strides in strengthening its portfolio, despite the large write-down on the Company’s legacy term loan to Sequoia Healthcare. Notably, during the quarter, the Company grew its portfolio with net deployment, and as previously announced, Logan Ridge continued rotating out of the legacy equity portfolio with the successful exit of its second largest non-yielding equity investment in GA Communications, Inc. This exit stands as another important achievement in our long-term strategy of rotating out of the legacy equity portfolio, which has now been reduced to just 10.8% of our portfolio at fair value, down from 13.8% as of the prior quarter and 18.2% in the first quarter of 2024.

    Looking forward, with the continued monetization of the legacy equity portfolio, we believe the Company is well-positioned to continue to grow earnings and increase long-term shareholder value as we navigate this dynamic market shaped by renewed uncertainty, increased market volatility, and shifting geopolitical dynamics.

    Finally, we remain excited about the opportunities the proposed combination with Portman Ridge presents. This transaction offers the potential for increased scale, improved liquidity, and enhanced operational efficiencies, all of which would strengthen our ability to deliver greater value to shareholders. The combination of these companies would be a marquee transaction for our BDC franchise and a significant milestone for the BC Partners Credit Platform. We encourage all shareholders to vote FOR the proposed merger, as recommended by the Board of Directors of both companies. We are excited about the road ahead and look forward to sharing more updates at the upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders.”

  • MIL-OSI: Montauk Renewables Announces First Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PITTSBURGH, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Montauk Renewables, Inc. (“Montauk” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: MNTK), a renewable energy company specializing in the management, recovery, and conversion of biogas into renewable natural gas (“RNG”), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    First Quarter Highlights:

            • Revenues of $42.6 million, increased 9.8% compared to the first quarter of 2024

            • Net loss of $0.5 million, compared to net income of $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2024

            • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $8.8 million, decreased 7.2% year-over-year

            • RNG production of 1.4 million MMBtu, flat compared to first quarter of 2024

            • RINs sold of 9.9 million, increased 2.0 million or 25.3% year-over-year

    Our profitability is highly dependent on the market price of environmental attributes, including the market price for RINs.  As we self-market a significant portion of our RINs, a decision to not to commit to transfer available RINs during a period will impact our revenue and operating profit.  As a result of our decision to not commit RINs available to be sold during the 2024 fourth quarter, we had approximately 6.8 million RINs available but unsold at year end.  Including these RINs, we have sold all RINs associated to our 2024 RNG production. We have subsequently entered into commitments to transfer the majority of our RINs in inventory as of March 31, 2025. The Environmental Protection Agency’s  (“EPA”) Biogas Regulatory Reform Rule became effective in 2025.  New rules requiring the separation of RINs after dispensing has delayed by approximately one month our ability to have RINs available for sale from current year production.  Additionally, the EPA extending the compliance period for 2024 has impacted the timing of obligated party purchases of RINs from 2025 production. 

    Related to our gas rights agreement with our landfill host at our Rumpke RNG location, in 2025, we began the process of planning the relocation of our existing Rumpke RNG facility.  The timing of this project and requirement to relocate the facility coincides with the landfills filling practices to move into the existing area of our now current Rumpke RNG facility and is contractually obligated.  We expect to begin capital expenditures for long lead time equipment in the second quarter of 2025 and expect to target a commissioning in 2028. Depending on the timing of capital expenditure and potential additional production capabilities in addition to RNG production related to the full design, we estimate capital expenditures to range between $80 million to $110 million. Finally, related to the development of our Blue Granite RNG project, we received notice from the utility that it will no longer accept RNG into its distribution system, which was in opposition to the letter of intent issue when we were awarded the gas rights to the site.  This notice led to our impairing of certain RNG equipment.  We continue to discuss with the landfill host various alternatives related to the site as we continue to own the rights to develop the site. 

    First Quarter Financial Results

    Total revenues in the first quarter of 2025 were $42.6 million, an increase of $3.8 million (9.8%) compared to $38.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase is primarily driven by the monetization of the RINs sold in the first quarter of 2025 related to 2024 RNG production. Our average realized RIN price in the first quarter of 2025 was $2.46 which decreased approximately 24.3% compared to $3.25 in the first quarter of 2024. Natural gas index pricing increased approximately 62.9% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.  Operating and maintenance expenses for our RNG facilities in the first quarter of 2025 were $14.1 million, an increase of $2.0 million (16.1%) compared to $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The primary drivers of this increase were timing of preventative maintenance, media changeout maintenance, and wellfield operational enhancement programs, at our Apex, McCarty, Rumpke, and Coastal facilities. Our Renewable Electricity Generation operating and maintenance expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were $3.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million (46.2%) compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily driven by non-capitalizable expenses at our Montauk Ag Renewables projects. Total general and administrative expenses were $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.6 million (7.1%) compared to $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. Operating income in the first quarter of 2025 was $0.4 million, a decrease of $2.0 million (82.7%) compared to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. Net loss in the first quarter of 2025 was $0.5 million, a decrease of $2.4 million (125.1%) compared to net income of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2024.

    First Quarter Operational Results

    We produced approximately 1.4 million Metric Million British Thermal Units (“MMBtu”) of RNG in the first quarter of 2025, flat compared to 1.4 million MMBtu produced in the first quarter of 2024. At our Rumpke facility, we produced 39 MMBtu more in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 as a result of previously disclosed plant processing equipment failure that occurred in the first quarter of 2024. At our Apex facility, we produced 57 fewer MMBtu in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 as a result of cold weather conditions impacting gas feedstock availability, wellfield extraction environmental factors, and plant processing equipment failures. We produced approximately 46 thousand megawatt hours (“MWh”) in Renewable Electricity in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of 8 thousand MWh compared to 54 thousand MWh produced in the first quarter of 2024. Our Security facility produced approximately 6 thousand MWh less in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 as a result of us ceasing operations in connection with the sale of gas rights back to the landfill host.

    2025 Full Year Outlook

    • RNG revenues are expected to range between $150 and $170 million
    • RNG production volumes are expected to range between 5.8 and 6.0 million MMBtu
    • REG revenues are expected to range between $17 and $18 million
    • REG production volumes are expected to range between 178 and 186 thousand MWh

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This press release and the accompanying tables include references to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are Non-GAAP financial measures. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe the measures assist investors in analyzing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

    In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measurements of performance that management and the board of directors use in their financial and operational decision-making and in the determination of certain compensation programs. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental performance measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net (loss) income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or a measure of our liquidity or profitability.

The risks and uncertainties that could cause those actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: our ability to develop and operate new renewable energy projects, including with livestock farms, and related challenges associated with new projects, such as identifying suitable locations and potential delays in acquisition financing, construction, and development; reduction or elimination of government economic incentives to the renewable energy market, whether as a result of the new presidential administration or otherwise; the inability to complete strategic development opportunities; widespread manmade, natural and other disasters (including severe weather events), health emergencies, dislocations, geopolitical instabilities or events, terrorist activities, international hostilities, government shutdowns, political elections, security breaches, cyberattacks or other extraordinary events that impact general economic conditions, financial markets and/or our business and operating results; taxes, tariffs, duties or other assessments on equipment necessary to generate or deliver renewable energy or continued inflation could raise our operating costs or increase the construction costs of our existing or new projects; rising interest rates could increase the borrowing costs of future indebtedness; the failure to attract and retain qualified personnel or a possible increased reliance on third-party contractors as a result, and the potential unenforceability of non-compete clauses with our employees; the length of development and optimization cycles for new projects, including the design and construction processes for our renewable energy projects; dependence on third parties for the manufacture of products and services and our landfill operations; the quantity, quality and consistency of our feedstock volumes from both landfill and livestock farm operations; reliance on interconnections with and access to electric utility distribution and transmission facilities and gas transportation pipelines for our Renewable Natural Gas and Renewable Electricity Generation segments; our ability to renew pathway provider sharing arrangements at historical counterparty share percentages; our projects not producing expected levels of output; potential benefits associated with the combustion-based oxygen removal condensate neutralization technology; concentration of revenues from a small number of customers and projects; our outstanding indebtedness and restrictions under our credit facility; our ability to extend our fuel supply agreements prior to expiration; our ability to meet milestone requirements under our power purchase agreements; existing regulations and changes to regulations and policies that effect our operations, whether as a result of a new presidential administration or otherwise; expected impacts of the Production Tax Credit and other tax credit benefits under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022; decline in public acceptance and support of renewable energy development and projects; our expectations regarding Environmental Attribute volume requirements and prices and commodity prices; our expectations regarding the period during which we qualify as an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”); our expectations regarding future capital expenditures, including for the maintenance of facilities; our expectations regarding the use of net operating losses before expiration; our expectations regarding more attractive carbon intensity scores by regulatory agencies for our livestock farm projects; market volatility and fluctuations in commodity prices and the market prices of Environmental Attributes and the impact of any related hedging activity; regulatory changes in federal, state and international environmental attribute programs and the need to obtain and maintain regulatory permits, approvals, and consents; profitability of our planned livestock farm projects; sustained demand for renewable energy; potential liabilities from contamination and environmental conditions; potential exposure to costs and liabilities due to extensive environmental, health and safety laws; impacts of climate change, extreme and changing weather patterns and conditions and natural disasters; failure of our information technology and data security systems; increased competition in our markets; continuing to keep up with technology innovations; concentrated stock ownership by a few stockholders and related control over the outcome of all matters subject to a stockholder vote; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.

    We make many of our forward-looking statements based on our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as others made in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made by us in the context of these risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

With a strong portfolio and momentum, we reaffirm our 21-23% annual revenue growth prior guidance range for this year,” said John Kibarian, CEO and President.

    Conference Call

    As previously announced, PDF Solutions will discuss these results on a live conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time / 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today. To participate on the live call, analysts and investors should pre-register at: https://register-conf.media-server.com/register/BI6d53831ac55c4a1ab7f4514ab0ec41ca. Registrants will receive dial-in information and a unique passcode to access the call. We encourage participants to dial into the call ten minutes ahead of the scheduled time. The teleconference will also be webcast simultaneously on the Company’s website at https://ir.pdf.com/webcasts. A replay of the conference call webcast will be available after the call on the Company’s investor relations website. A copy of this press release, including the disclosure and reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures, which non-GAAP measures may be used periodically by PDF Solutions’ management when discussing financial results with investors and analysts, will also be available on PDF Solutions’ website at http://www.pdf.com/press-releases following the date of this release.

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Commentary Available Online

    A Management Report reviewing the Company’s first quarter 2025 financial results will be furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K and published on the Company’s website at http://ir.pdf.com/financial-reports. Analysts and investors are encouraged to review this commentary prior to participating in the conference call.

    Information Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), PDF Solutions also provides certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP gross profit and margin exclude stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired technology under costs of revenues. Non-GAAP net income excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired technology under costs of revenues, amortization of other acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs and the effects of certain non-recurring items, such as expenses for certain legal proceedings, non-recurring legal, finance, integration and other costs, loss on damaged equipment in-transit, and their related income tax effects, as applicable, as well as adjustments for the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and reconciling items. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management internally to measure the Company’s profitability and performance. PDF Solutions’ management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operations in light of the fact that none of these categories of expense and income has a current effect on the future uses of cash (with the exception of expenses related to certain legal proceedings and non-recurring legal, finance, integration and other costs) nor do they impact the generation of current or future revenues. These non-GAAP results should not be considered an alternative to, or a substitute for, GAAP financial information, and may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures of income or loss as a measure of performance, or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Since management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to measure profitability and performance, PDF Solutions has included these non-GAAP measures to give investors an opportunity to see the Company’s financial results as viewed by management. A reconciliation of the comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented below.

    (2) The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP income tax provisions is primarily due to the valuation allowance on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP adjustments. For example, on a GAAP basis, the Company does not receive a deferred tax benefit for foreign tax credits or research and development credits after the valuation allowance. The Company’s non-GAAP tax rate and resulting non-GAAP tax expense is not calculated with a full U.S. federal or state valuation allowance due to the Company’s cumulative non-GAAP income and management’s conclusion that it is more likely than not to utilize its net deferred tax assets (DTAs). Each reporting period, management evaluates the need for a valuation allowance and may place a valuation allowance against its U.S. net DTAs on a non-GAAP basis if it concludes it is more likely than not that it will not be able to utilize some or all of its U.S. DTAs on a non-GAAP basis.

    CASH COMMON SHAREHOLDER DISTRIBUTION DECLARATION

    Prospect is declaring distributions to common shareholders as follows:

    Monthly Cash Common Shareholder Distribution Record Date Payment Date Amount ($ per share)
    May 2025 5/28/2025 6/18/2025 $0.0450
    June 2025 6/26/2025 7/22/2025 $0.0450
    July 2025 7/29/2025 8/20/2025 $0.0450
    August 2025 8/27/2025 9/18/2025 $0.0450

    Prospect expects to declare September 2025 and October 2025 distributions to common shareholders in August 2025.

    Taking into account past distributions and our current share count for declared distributions, since inception through our April 2025 declared distribution, Prospect will have distributed $21.57 per share to original common shareholders, representing 3.0 times March 2025 common NAV per share, aggregating $4.5 billion in cumulative distributions to all common shareholders.

    Since Prospect’s initial public offering in July 2004 through March 31, 2025, Prospect has invested over $21 billion across over 450 investments, exiting over 325 of these investments.

    Since Prospect’s initial public offering in July 2004 through March 31,2025, Prospect’s exited investments resulted in an investment level realized gross internal rate of return (“IRR”) of approximately 13% (based on total capital invested and of approximately $11.8 billion and total proceeds from such exited investments of approximately $14.9 billion).

    Drivers focused on optimizing our business include: (1) rotation of assets into and increased focus on our core business of first lien senior secured middle market loans (with our first lien mix increasing 60 basis points from the prior quarter and 650 basis points from the prior year), including sometimes with selected equity investments, (2) continued amortization of our already significantly reduced subordinated structured notes portfolio (now down to 4.2% of total assets), (3) prudent exits of equity linked assets (including real estate properties and corporate investments, with an additional real estate property exit this past quarter), (4) enhancement of portfolio company operating performance, and (5) greater utilization of our cost efficient revolving floating rate credit facility (which significantly matches with our majority floating rate assets).

    In our middle market lending strategy, we continued our focus on first lien senior secured loans during the quarter, with such investments totaling $149 million of our $196 million of originations during the quarter. Investments during the quarter included our new platform investment in Taos Footwear Holdings, LLC, a leading innovative footwear brand with a two decade history, and other follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies to support acquisitions, working capital needs, organic growth initiatives, and other objectives.

    Our subordinated structured notes portfolio as of March 31, 2025 represented 4.2% of our investment portfolio, a reduction of 310 basis points from 7.3% as of March 31, 2024. Since the inception of this strategy in 2011 and through March 31, 2025, we have exited 15 subordinated structured note investments that have earned an unlevered investment level gross cash internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 12.1% and cash on cash multiple of 1.3 times. The remaining subordinated structured notes portfolio had a trailing twelve month average cash yield of 30.2% and an annualized GAAP yield of 4.4% (in each case as of March 31, 2025, based on fair value, and excluding investments being redeemed), with the difference between cash yield and GAAP yield representing amortization of our cost basis.

    In our real estate property portfolio at National Property REIT Corp. (“NPRC”), since the inception of this strategy in 2012 and through March 31, 2025, we have exited 52 property investments (including one exit in the March 2025 quarter) that have earned an unlevered investment-level gross cash IRR of 24.0% and cash on cash multiple of 2.4 times. The remaining real estate property portfolio included 58 properties and paid us an income yield of 4.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Our aggregate investment in NPRC had a $460 million unrealized gain as of March 31, 2025.

    Our senior management team and employees own 28.8% of all common shares outstanding (an increase of 240 basis points since June 30, 2024) or $0.9 billion of our common equity as measured at NAV.

    CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

    Our multi-year, long-term laddered and diversified historical funding profile has included a $2.1 billion revolving credit facility (aggregate commitments with 48 current lenders), program notes, institutional bonds, convertible bonds, listed preferred stock, and program preferred stock. We have retired multiple upcoming maturities and, after successfully retiring our $156.2M convertible bond maturity in March 2025 (utilizing existing liquidity on hand), have just $2.4M remaining of debt maturing during calendar year 2025.

    On April 9, 2025, we commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of the $342.9 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 3.706% Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) at a purchase price of $990.00 for each $1,000 principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On April 22, 2025, $135.7 million was validly tendered and accepted, representing 39.6% of the outstanding notes. Approximately $207.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes remain outstanding.

    Our total unfunded eligible commitments to portfolio companies totals approximately $43 million, of which $17 million are considered at our sole discretion, representing 0.6% and 0.2% of our total assets as of March 31, 2025, respectively.

    Total Debt Repurchases/Repayments $192,795

    We currently have three separate unsecured debt issuances aggregating approximately $0.8 billion outstanding, not including our program notes, with laddered maturities extending through October 2028. At March 31, 2025, $643 million of program notes were outstanding with laddered maturities through March 2052.

    At March 31, 2025 our weighted average cost of unsecured debt financing was 4.33%, a decrease of 0.16% from December 31, 2024, and an increase of 0.19% from March 31, 2024.

    We have raised significant capital from our existing $2.25 billion perpetual preferred stock offering programs. The preferred stock provides Prospect with a diversified source of programmatic capital without creating scheduled maturity risk due to the perpetual term of multiple preferred tranches.

    DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

    We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (also known as our “DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of our distributions on behalf of our shareholders, unless a shareholder elects to receive cash. On April 17, 2020, our board of directors approved amendments to the Company’s DRIP, effective May 21, 2020. These amendments principally provide for the number of newly-issued shares pursuant to the DRIP to be determined by dividing (i) the total dollar amount of the distribution payable by (ii) 95% of the closing market price per share of our stock on the valuation date of the distribution (providing a 5% discount to the market price of our common stock), a benefit to shareholders who participate. HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

    Shares held with a broker or financial institution

    Many shareholders have been automatically “opted out” of our DRIP by their brokers. Even if you have elected to automatically reinvest your PSEC stock with your broker, your broker may have “opted out” of our DRIP (which utilizes DTC’s dividend reinvestment service), and you may therefore not be receiving the 5% pricing discount. Shareholders interested in participating in our DRIP to receive the 5% discount should contact their brokers to make sure each such DRIP participation election has been made through DTC. In making such DRIP election, each shareholder should specify to one’s broker the desire to participate in the “Prospect Capital Corporation DRIP through DTC” that issues shares based on 95% of the market price (a 5% discount to the market price) and not the broker’s own “synthetic DRIP” plan (if any) that offers no such discount. Each shareholder should not assume one’s broker will automatically place such shareholder in our DRIP through DTC. Each shareholder will need to make this election proactively with one’s broker or risk not receiving the 5% discount. Each shareholder may also consult with a representative of such shareholder’s broker to request that the number of shares the shareholder wishes to enroll in our DRIP be re-registered by the broker in the shareholder’s own name as record owner in order to participate directly in our DRIP.

    Shares registered directly with our transfer agent

    If a shareholder holds shares registered in the shareholder’s own name with our transfer agent (less than 0.1% of our shareholders hold shares this way) and wants to make a change to how the shareholder receives dividends, please contact our plan administrator, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC by calling (888) 888-0313 or by mailing Equiniti Trust Company LLC, PO Box 10027, Newark, New Jersey 07101.

    EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL

    Prospect will host an earnings call on Friday, May 9, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Dial 888-338-7333. For a replay after May 9, 2025 visit www.prospectstreet.com or call 877-344-7529 with passcode 7141044.

    MIDDLE-MARKET LOAN PORTFOLIO COMPANY WEIGHTED AVERAGE EBITDA, NET LEVERAGE AND INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN

    Middle-Market Loan Portfolio Company Weighted Average Net Leverage (“Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage”) and Middle-Market Loan Portfolio Company Weighted Average EBITDA (“Middle-Market Portfolio EBITDA”) provide clarity into the underlying capital structure of PSEC’s middle-market loan portfolio investments and the likelihood that such portfolio will make interest payments and repay principal. PSEC’s consumer finance middle-market lending / buyout portfolio company investments are excluded from Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage and Middle-Market Portfolio EBITDA because consumer finance companies typically rely on financing to fund their lending activities.

    Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage reflects the net leverage of each of PSEC’s middle-market loan portfolio company debt investments, weighted based on the current fair market value of such debt investments. The net leverage for each middle-market loan portfolio company is calculated based on PSEC’s investment in the capital structure of such portfolio company, with a maximum limit of 10.0x adjusted EBITDA. This calculation excludes debt subordinate to PSEC’s position within the capital structure because PSEC’s exposure to interest payment and principal repayment risk is limited beyond that point. Additionally, subordinated structured notes, rated secured structured notes, real estate investments, investments for which EBITDA is not available, and equity investments, for which principal repayment is not fixed, are also not included in the calculation. The calculation does not exceed 10.0x adjusted EBITDA for any individual investment because 10.0x captures the highest level of risk to PSEC. Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage provides PSEC with some guidance as to PSEC’s exposure to the interest payment and principal repayment risk of PSEC’s middle-market loan portfolio. PSEC monitors its Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage on a quarterly basis.

    Middle-Market Portfolio EBITDA is used by PSEC to supplement Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage and generally indicates a portfolio company’s ability to make interest payments and repay principal. Middle-Market Portfolio EBITDA is calculated using the EBITDA of each of PSEC’s middle-market loan portfolio companies, weighted based on the current fair market value of the related investments. The calculation provides PSEC with insight into profitability and scale of the portfolio companies within PSEC’s middle-market loan portfolio.

    These calculations include addbacks that are typically negotiated and documented in the applicable investment documents, including but not limited to transaction costs, share-based compensation, management fees, foreign currency translation adjustments, and other nonrecurring transaction expenses.

    Together, Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage and Middle-Market Portfolio EBITDA assist PSEC in assessing the likelihood that PSEC will timely receive interest and principal payments. However, these calculations are not meant to substitute for an analysis of PSEC’s underlying portfolio company debt investments, but to supplement such analysis.

    Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) is the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flows related to a particular investment equal to zero. IRR is gross of general expenses not related to specific investments as these expenses are not allocable to specific investments. Investments are considered to be exited when the original investment objective has been achieved through the receipt of cash and/or non-cash consideration upon the repayment of a debt investment or sale of an investment or through the determination that no further consideration was collectible and, thus, a loss may have been realized. Prospect’s gross IRR calculations are unaudited. Information regarding internal rates of return are historical results relating to Prospect’s past performance and are not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured.

    PRIMARY ORIGINATION STRATEGIES

    Lending to Companies – We make directly-originated, agented loans to companies, including companies which are controlled by private equity sponsors and companies that are not controlled by private equity sponsors (such as companies that are controlled by the management team, the founder, a family or public shareholders). This debt can take the form of first lien, second lien, unitranche or unsecured loans. These loans typically have equity subordinate to our loan position. We may also purchase selected equity investments in such companies. In addition to directly-originated, agented loans, we also invest in senior and secured loans syndicated loans and high yield bonds that have been sold to a club or syndicate of buyers, both in the primary and secondary markets. These investments are often purchased with a long term, buy-and-hold outlook, and we often look to provide significant input to the transaction by providing anchoring orders.

    Lending to Companies and Purchasing Controlling Equity Positions in Such Companies – This strategy involves purchasing senior and secured yield-producing debt and controlling equity positions in operating companies across various industries. We believe this strategy provides enhanced certainty of closing to sellers and the opportunity for management to continue on in their current roles. These investments are often structured in tax-efficient partnerships, enhancing returns.

    Purchasing Controlling Equity Positions and Lending to Real Estate Companies – We purchase debt and controlling equity positions in tax-efficient real estate investment trusts (“REIT” or “REITs”). The real estate investments of National Property REIT Corp. (“NPRC”) are in various classes of developed and occupied real estate properties that generate current yields, including multi-family properties, student housing and senior living. NPRC seeks to identify properties that have historically significant occupancy rates and recurring cash flow generation. NPRC generally co-invests with established and experienced property management teams that manage such properties after acquisition. Additionally, NPRC makes investments in rated secured structured notes (primarily debt of structured credit). NPRC also purchases loans originated by certain consumer loan facilitators. It purchases each loan in its entirety (i.e., a “whole loan”). The borrowers are consumers, and the loans are typically serviced by the facilitators of the loans.

    Investing in Structured Credit – We make investments in structured credit, often taking a significant position in subordinated structured notes (equity). The underlying portfolio of each structured credit investment is diversified across approximately 100 to 200 broadly syndicated loans and does not have direct exposure to real estate, mortgages, or consumer-based credit assets. The structured credit portfolios in which we invest are managed by established collateral management teams with many years of experience in the industry.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    GAAP Net income of $9.8 million increased $36 million year-over-year

    GAAP EPS of $0.21 increased $0.89 year-over-year

    Adjusted EPS of $0.40 increased $0.31 year-over-year

    Operating expenses of $93 million reduced 15% year-over-year

    Reiterating full year 2025 credit performance and profit expectations

    SAN CARLOS, Calif., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Oportun Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: OPRT) (“Oportun”, or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    “We started 2025 with a strong first quarter, building on the momentum from last year. I’m pleased to report our second consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability, with net income increasing by $36 million year-over-year,” said Raul Vazquez, CEO of Oportun. “We’ve also delivered profitability on an adjusted basis for the fifth consecutive quarter, with Adjusted Net Income up $15 million year-over-year. Our Return on Equity (ROE) improved to 11%, while our Adjusted ROE also improved by 17 percentage points, to 21%. We maintained strong cost discipline, reducing quarterly operating expenses by 15% year-over-year during the quarter. In addition, credit continued to perform well, with 30-plus day delinquencies and dollar net-charge-offs declining year-over-year for the fifth and sixth consecutive quarters, respectively. Given the current macroeconomic uncertainty, we are prudently moderating our expectations for full year loan originations growth from the 10% to 15% range, to approximately 10%. Factoring in both this adjustment and our Q1 outperformance, we’re reiterating our full year 2025 Adjusted EPS guidance of $1.10 to $1.30 per share, implying growth of 53% to 81%.

    Financial and Operating Results

    All figures are as of or for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, unless otherwise noted.

    Operational Drivers

    Originations – Aggregate Originations for the first quarter were $469 million, an increase of 39% compared to $338 million in the prior-year quarter, as the Company grew originations year-over-year for the second consecutive quarter. Management currently expects full year 2025 Aggregate Originations growth in the 10% range.

    Portfolio Yield – Portfolio Yield for the first quarter was 33.0%, an increase of 49 basis points as compared to 32.5% in the prior-year quarter, primarily attributable to increased pricing on loans.

    Financial Results

    Revenue – Total revenue for the first quarter was $236 million, a decrease of 6% as compared to $250 million in the prior-year quarter. The decline was primarily due to the absence of $11 million of revenue from the credit cards receivable portfolio which was sold in November 2024. Net revenue for the first quarter was $106 million, a 34% increase compared to net revenue of $79 million in the prior-year quarter, as reduced fair value marks and net charge-offs more than offset the total revenue decline and higher interest expense.

    Operating Expense and Adjusted Operating Expense – For the first quarter, total operating expense was $93 million, a decrease of 15% as compared to $110 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease is attributable to a combined set of cost reduction initiatives enacted during the last year. The Company continues to expect full year 2025 operating expenses of approximately $390 million, averaging $97.5 million a quarter for a 5% reduction from full year 2024. Adjusted Operating Expense, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, decreased 13% year-over-year to $89 million.

    Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) – Net income was $9.8 million as compared to a net loss of $26 million in the prior-year quarter. The increased profitability was attributable to expense reduction initiatives, and increased net revenue driven by reduced fair value mark-to-market impact and improved credit performance. Adjusted Net Income was $19 million as compared to $3.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was also driven by reduced operating expenses, along with improved credit performance.

    Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EPS – GAAP earnings per share, basic and diluted, were both $0.21 during the first quarter, compared to GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted of $0.68 in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Earnings Per Share was $0.40 as compared to $0.09 in the prior-year quarter.

    Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA was $34 million, up from $1.9 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by the cost reduction initiatives enacted during the last year along with improved credit performance.

    Credit and Operating Metrics

    Net Charge-Off Rate – The Annualized Net Charge-Off Rate for the quarter was 12.2%, compared to 12.0% for the prior-year quarter. Net Charge-offs in dollars for the quarter were down 5% to $81 million, compared to $85 million for the prior-year quarter.

    30+ Day Delinquency Rate – The Company’s 30+ Day Delinquency Rate was 4.7% at the end of the quarter, compared to 5.2% at the end of the prior-year quarter.

    Following the first quarter, the Company’s 30+ Day Delinquency Rate declined to 4.5% at the end of April.

    Operating Expense Ratio and Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio – Operating Expense Ratio for the quarter was 13.9% as compared to 15.5% in the prior-year quarter, a 157 basis points improvement. Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio was 13.3% as compared to 14.3% in the prior-year quarter, a 102 basis points improvement. The Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges. The improvement in Adjuste        d Operating Expense Ratio is primarily attributable to the Company’s focus on reducing operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in Average Daily Principal Balance including the impact from the sale of the credit cards receivable portfolio in November 2024.

    Return On Equity (“ROE”) and Adjusted ROE – ROE for the quarter was 11%, as compared to (27)% in the prior-year quarter. The improvement was attributable to the increase in net income. Adjusted ROE for the quarter was 21%, as compared to 4% in the prior-year quarter.

             

    Secured Personal Loans

    As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a secured personal loan receivables balance of $178 million, up from $112 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024. Oportun currently offers secured personal loans in California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, New Jersey and Illinois. During the full year 2024, secured personal loans losses ran approximately 500 basis points lower compared to unsecured personal loans. Furthermore, secured personal loans originated during the first quarter are expected to generate approximately twice the revenue per loan compared to unsecured personal loans, primarily due to higher average loan sizes.

    Funding and Liquidity

    As of March 31, 2025, total cash was $231 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $79 million and restricted cash of $152 million. Cost of Debt and Debt-to-Equity were 8.2% and 7.6x, respectively, for and at the end of the first quarter 2025 as compared to 7.5% and 7.3x, respectively, for and at the end of the prior-year quarter. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $317 million of undrawn capacity on its existing $766 million personal loan warehouse lines. The Company’s personal loan warehouse lines are committed through September 2027 and August 2028.

    Financial Outlook for Second Quarter and Full Year 2025

    Oportun is providing the following guidance for 2Q 2025 and full year 2025 as follows:

      2Q 2025   Full Year 2025

    Oportun Financial Corporation
    ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
    (unaudited)

    This press release dated May 8, 2025 contains non-GAAP financial measures. The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    The Company believes that the provision of these non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of Oportun’s core business and useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results. However, non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as described below. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure because it allows management, investors and its board of directors to evaluate and compare operating results, including return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period by making the adjustments described below. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Oportun’s business, as it removes the effect of income taxes, certain non-cash items, variable charges and timing differences.

    • The Company believes it is useful to exclude the impact of income tax expense, as reported, because historically it has included irregular income tax items that do not reflect ongoing business operations.
    • The Company believes it is useful to exclude depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense because they are non-cash charges.
    • The Company believes it is useful to exclude the impact of interest expense associated with the Company’s corporate financing facilities, including the senior secured term loan and the residual financing facility, as it views this expense as related to its capital structure rather than its funding.
    • The Company excludes the impact of certain non-recurring charges, such as expenses associated with our workforce optimization, and other non-recurring charges because it does not believe that these items reflect ongoing business operations. Other non-recurring charges include litigation reserve, impairment charges, debt amendment and warrant amortization costs related to our corporate financing facilities.
    • The Company also excludes fair value mark-to-market adjustments on its loans receivable portfolio and asset-backed notes carried at fair value because these adjustments do not impact cash.

    Adjusted Net Income

    The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as described below. The Company believes that Adjusted Net Income is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors, and the Company’s board of directors to evaluate and compare its operating results, including return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period, excluding the after-tax impact of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges.

    • The Company believes it is useful to exclude the impact of income tax expense (benefit), as reported, because historically it has included irregular income tax items that do not reflect ongoing business operations. The Company also includes the impact of normalized income tax expense by applying a normalized statutory tax rate.
    • The Company believes it is useful to exclude the impact of certain non-recurring charges, such as expenses associated with our workforce optimization, and other non-recurring charges because it does not believe that these items reflect its ongoing business operations. Other non-recurring charges include litigation reserve, impairment charges, debt amendment and warrant amortization costs related to our corporate financing facilities.
    • The Company believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expense because it is a non-cash charge.
    • The Company also excludes the fair value mark-to-market adjustment on its asset-backed notes carried at fair value to align with the 2023 accounting policy decision to account for new debt financings at amortized cost.

    Adjusted Operating Expense and Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio

    The Company defines Adjusted Operating Expense as total operating expenses adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, such as expenses associated with our workforce optimization, and other non-recurring charges. Other non-recurring charges include litigation reserve, impairment charges, and debt amendment costs related to our Corporate Financing facility. The Company defines Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio as Adjusted Operating Expense divided by Average Daily Principal Balance. The Company believes Adjusted Operating Expense is an important measure because it allows management, investors and Oportun’s board of directors to evaluate and compare its operating costs from period to period, excluding the impact of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges. The Company believes Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio is an important measure because it allows management, investors and Oportun’s board of directors to evaluate how efficiently the Company is managing costs relative to revenue and Average Daily Principal Balance.

    Adjusted Return on Equity
    The Company defines Adjusted Return on Equity (“ROE”) as annualized Adjusted Net Income divided by average stockholders’ equity. Average stockholders’ equity is an average of the beginning and ending stockholders’ equity balance for each period. The Company believes Adjusted ROE is an important measure because it allows management, investors and its board of directors to evaluate the profitability of the business in relation to its stockholders’ equity and how efficiently it generates income from stockholders’ equity.

    Adjusted EPS
    The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

    • GAAP loss per share of $0.56
    • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.90

    SAN JOSE, Calif., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Synaptics Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA) today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2025 ended March 29, 2025.

    Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $266.6 million. GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $21.8 million, or a loss of $0.56 per basic share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $35.3 million, or $0.90 per diluted share.

    “We delivered another solid quarter, with revenues increasing by over 12 percent year-over-year, marking our fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. This momentum was driven by our Core IoT products, which grew 43% year-over-year in the third quarter and accounted for 25% of total sales. Our strategic initiatives in the IoT market continue to gain traction.  During the quarter, we launched several new products including Wi-Fi 7 solutions, broad markets devices, and next-generation Touch controllers that strengthen our portfolio and position the company for long-term growth,” said Ken Rizvi, Synaptics’ Interim CEO and Chief Financial Officer.

    Business Outlook
    Ken Rizvi added, “We remain focused on executing to our technology roadmap and growth initiatives, while staying agile and disciplined as we navigate the current macroeconomic and trade environment. Our balance sheet is strong and we generated over $74 million in cash flow from operations in the third quarter demonstrating the underlying strength in our business. Looking ahead, our fourth quarter guidance reflects improving demand trends, with expectations of both sequential and year-over-year revenue growth. We remain focused on delivering long-term value for our stockholders, customers, and employees.”

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
    In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses Non-GAAP Net Income, which we define as net income excluding share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, and certain other non-cash or recurring and non-recurring items the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Non-GAAP Net Income is not a measurement of the company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP Net Income. The company presents Non-GAAP Net Income because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance since it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences in net income caused by the existence and timing of share-based compensation charges, acquisition and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, and certain other non-cash or recurring and non-recurring items. Non-GAAP Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s GAAP Net Income. The principal limitations of this measure are that it does not reflect the company’s actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its net income and net income per share as compared to its operating results reported under GAAP. In addition, the company presents components of Non-GAAP Net Income, such as Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses and Non-GAAP operating margin, for similar reasons.

    As presented in the “Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables that follow, Non-GAAP Net Income and each of the other Non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:

    Acquisition and integration-related costs
    Acquisition and integration-related costs primarily consist of:

    • amortization of purchased intangibles, which include acquired intangibles such as developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks, backlog, licensed technology, patents, and in-process technology when post-acquisition development is determined to be substantively complete;
    • inventory fair value adjustments affecting the carrying value of inventory acquired in an acquisition;
    • transitory post-acquisition incentive programs negotiated in connection with an acquired business or designed to encourage post-acquisition retention of key employees; and
    • legal and consulting costs directly associated with acquisitions, potential acquisitions and refinancing costs, including non-recurring acquisition related costs and services.

    These acquisition and integration-related costs are not factored into the company’s evaluation of its ongoing business operating performance or potential acquisitions, as they are not considered as part of the company’s principal operations. Further, the amount of these costs can vary significantly from period to period based on the terms of an earn-out arrangement, revisions to assumptions that went into developing the estimate of the contingent consideration associated with an earn-out arrangement, the size and timing of an acquisition, the lives assigned to the acquired intangible assets, and the maturity of the business acquired. Excluding acquisition related costs from Non-GAAP measures provides investors with a basis to compare Synaptics against the performance of other companies without the variability and potential earnings volatility associated with purchase accounting and acquisition-related items.

    Share-based compensation
    Share-based compensation expense relates to employee equity award programs and the vesting of the underlying awards, which includes stock options, deferred stock units, market stock units, performance stock units, phantom stock units and the employee stock purchase plan. Share-based compensation settled with stock, which includes stock options, deferred stock units, market stock units, performance stock units and the employee stock purchase plan, is a non-cash expense, while share-based compensation settled with cash, which includes phantom stock units, is a cash expense. Settlement of all employee equity award programs, whether settled with cash or stock, varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond the company’s control. As a result, the company excludes share-based compensation from its internal operating forecasts and models. The company believes that Non-GAAP measures reflecting adjustments for share-based compensation provide investors with a basis to compare the company’s principal operating performance against the performance of peer companies without the variability created by share-based compensation resulting from the variety of equity-linked compensatory awards used by other companies and the varying methodologies and assumptions used.

    Intangible asset impairment charge
    Intangible asset impairment charge represents the excess carrying value of an indefinite-lived asset over its fair value. The intangible asset impairment charge is a non-cash charge. The company excludes intangible asset impairment charge from its internal operating forecasts and models when evaluating its ongoing business performance. The company believes that Non-GAAP measures, reflecting adjustments for intangible asset impairment charge, provide investors with a basis to compare the company’s principal operating performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by the intangible asset impairment charge.

    Restructuring costs
    Restructuring costs are costs incurred to address cost structure inefficiencies of acquired or existing business operations and consist primarily of employee termination, asset disposal and office closure costs, including the reversal of such costs. As a result, the company excludes restructuring costs from its internal operating forecasts and models when evaluating its ongoing business performance. The company believes that Non-GAAP measures reflecting adjustments for restructuring costs provide investors with a basis to compare the company’s principal operating performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by restructuring costs designed to address cost structure inefficiencies of acquired or existing business operations.

    Site remediation accrual
    Site remediation accrual represents an update to the estimated future costs associated with the ongoing planning and remediation of a site contamination project from an acquisition. As we evaluate progress on our ongoing remediation effort and as we work with governmental organizations to update our remediation plan to meet the evolving guidelines, we estimate costs associated with plan revisions to determine if our liability has changed. Excluding the site remediation accrual from Non-GAAP measures provides investors with a basis to compare Synaptics against the performance of other companies without the variability associated with the site remediation accrual.

    Legal settlement accruals and other
    Legal settlement accruals and other represent our estimated cost of settling legal claims and any obligations to indemnify a counterparty against third party claims that are unusual or infrequent. As a result, the company will exclude these settlement charges from its internal operating forecasts and models when evaluating its ongoing business performance. The company believes that non-GAAP measures reflecting an adjustment for settlement charges provide investors with a basis to compare the company’s principal operating performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by unusual or infrequent settlement accruals designed to address non-recurring or non-routine costs.

    Loss on early extinguishment of debt
    Loss on extinguishment of debt represents a non-cash item based on the difference in the carrying value of the debt and the fair value of the debt when extinguished. Loss on early extinguishment of debt is excluded from Non-GAAP results as it is non-cash. Excluding loss on early extinguishment of debt from Non-GAAP measures provides investors with a basis to compare Synaptics against the performance of other companies without the variability associated with loss on early extinguishment of debt.

    Other non-cash items
    Other non-cash items include non-cash amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. These items are excluded from Non-GAAP results as they are non-cash. Excluding other non-cash items from Non-GAAP measures provides investors with a basis to compare Synaptics against the performance of other companies without the variability associated with other non-cash items.

    Non-GAAP tax adjustments
    The company forecasts its long-term Non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide investors with improved long-term modeling accuracy and consistency across financial reporting periods by eliminating the effects of certain items in our Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP net income per share, including the type and amount of share-based compensation, the taxation of post-acquisition intercompany intellectual property cross-licensing or transfer transactions, and the impact of other acquisition items that may or may not be tax deductible. The company intends to evaluate its long-term Non-GAAP tax rate annually for significant events, including material tax law changes in the major tax jurisdictions in which the company operates, corporate organizational changes related to acquisitions or tax planning opportunities, and substantive changes in our geographic earnings mix.

    Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

    Non-GAAP net loss consists of net loss excluding (i) share-based compensation and the employer portion of withholding taxes on stock grants, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest income (expense), (iv) other income (expense), (v) income tax provision (benefit), (vi) restructuring, severance and related charges, (vii) acquisition related costs, (viii) impairment of long-lived assets, (ix) amortization of purchased intangibles, (x) amortization of manufacturing profit in acquired inventory, (xi) fair value remeasurement of earnout consideration, and (xii) loss on extinguishment of debt.

    Non-GAAP EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP EPS, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which for GAAP purposes is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.

    Guidance on earnings per share growth is provided only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of certain items that have been excluded from the forward-looking non-GAAP measures, and a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP guidance has not been provided because certain factors that are materially significant to Lantronix’s ability to estimate the excluded items are not accessible or estimable on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort.

    Board of Directors Declared Total Dividends of $0.54 per Share for Second Quarter 2025

    Base Dividend of $0.43 and Supplemental Dividend of $0.11 Per Share

    EVANSTON, Ill., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fidus Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:FDUS) (“Fidus” or the “Company”), a provider of customized debt and equity financing solutions, primarily to lower middle-market companies based in the United States, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    • Adjusted net investment income of $18.5 million, or $0.54 per share(1)

    • Received proceeds from repayments and realizations of $57.3 million

    Management Commentary

    “We continued to build our portfolio of debt and equity investments in a methodical and disciplined manner during the first quarter by investing in high quality businesses with defensive characteristics and resilient business models that generate high levels of cash flow to service debt and support growth. We also monetized two equity investments for a net realized gain of $11.5 million, or $0.33 per share, which contributed to the increase in NAV,” said Edward Ross, Chairman and CEO of Fidus Investment Corporation. “Our portfolio remains well diversified and healthy overall, and constructed to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns over time for the benefit of our shareholders.”

    (1)   Supplemental information regarding adjusted net investment income:

    On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The management agreement with our investment adviser provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses. In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate. As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of net investment income to adjusted net investment income are set forth in Schedule 1.

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    The following table provides a summary of our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

                             
        Three Months Ended
    March 31,
                 
        2025     2024     $ Change     % Change  
    Interest income   $ 30,319     $ 28,138     $ 2,181       7.8 %
    Payment-in-kind interest income     2,248       2,049       199       9.7 %
    Dividend income     1,231       397       834       210.1 %
    Fee income     2,127       2,359       (232 )     (9.8 %)
    Interest on idle funds     571       1,708       (1,137 )     (66.6 %)
    Total investment income   $ 36,496     $ 34,651     $ 1,845       5.3 %
                             
    Net investment income   $ 18,222     $ 17,627     $ 595       3.4 %
    Net investment income per share   $ 0.53     $ 0.57     $ (0.04 )     (7.0 %)
                             
    Adjusted net investment income (1)   $ 18,509     $ 18,126     $ 383       2.1 %
    Adjusted net investment income per share (1)   $ 0.54     $ 0.59     $ (0.05 )     (8.5 %)
                             
    Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations   $ 19,658     $ 20,123     $ (465 )     (2.3 %)
    Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per share   $ 0.58     $ 0.65     $ (0.07 )     (10.8 %)
                                     

    The $1.8 million increase in total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily attributable to (i) a $2.4 million increase in total interest income (which includes payment-in-kind interest income) resulting from an increase in average debt investment balances outstanding, partially offset by a decrease in weighted average yield on debt investment balances outstanding, (ii) a $0.8 million increase in dividend income due to an increase in distributions received from equity investments, partially offset by (iii) a $0.2 million decrease in fee income resulting from a decrease in amendment and management services fees and (iv) a $1.2 million decrease in interest on idle funds resulting from a decrease in average cash balances.

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total expenses, including the base management fee waiver and income tax provision, were $18.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 7.3% from the $17.0 million of total expenses, including the base management fee waiver and income tax provision, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $0.8 million increase in interest and financing expenses due to an increase in average borrowings outstanding and weighted average interest rates of our debt outstanding, (ii) a $0.6 million net increase in base management fee, including the base management fee waiver, due to higher average total assets, (iii) a $0.1 million increase in the income incentive fee, partially offset by (iv) a $0.2 million decrease in the accrued capital gains incentive fee.

    Net investment income increased by $0.6 million, or 3.4%, to $18.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, as a result of the $1.8 million increase in total investment income and the $1.3 million increase in total expenses, including base management fee waiver and income tax provision. Adjusted net investment income,(1) which excludes the capital gains incentive fee accrual, was $0.54 per share compared to $0.59 per share in the prior year.

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, was $11.5 million, as compared to total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, of $1.8 million for the same period in 2024.

    Portfolio and Investment Activities

    As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of our investment portfolio totaled $1.2 billion and consisted of 92 active portfolio companies and four portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. Our total portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 100.5% of the related cost basis as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the debt investments of 52 portfolio companies bore interest at a variable rate, which represented $740.3 million, or 72.8%, of our debt investment portfolio on a fair value basis, and the remainder of our debt investment portfolio was comprised of fixed rate investments. As of March 31, 2025, our average active portfolio company investment at amortized cost was $12.5 million, which excludes investments in four portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. The weighted average yield on debt investments was 13.2% as of March 31, 2025. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates for debt investments at cost as of March 31, 2025, including the accretion of original issue discounts and loan origination fees, but excluding investments on non-accrual status and investments recorded as a secured borrowing.

    First quarter 2025 investment activity included the following new portfolio company investments:

    • AMOpportunities, Inc., a healthcare training platform providing tech-enabled clinical rotation development and management services for schools, providers, and health systems. Fidus invested $10.0 million in first lien debt and $0.7 million in preferred equity.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of March 31, 2025, we had $67.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $140.0 million of unused capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received net proceeds of $20.7 million from the equity at-the-market program (the “ATM Program”) and received net proceeds from the issuance of the March 2030 Notes (as defined below) of $96.9 million. As of March 31, 2025, we had SBA debentures outstanding of $182.0 million, $125.0 million outstanding of our 4.75% notes due January 2026 (the “January 2026 Notes”), $125.0 million outstanding of our 3.50% notes due November 2026 (the “November 2026 Notes”), and $100.0 million outstanding of our 6.75% March 2030 Notes (the “March 2030 Notes” and together with the January 2026 Notes and the November 2026 Notes, the “Notes”). As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding was 4.8%.

    Second Quarter 2025 Dividends Totaling $0.54 Per Share Declared

    On May 5, 2025, our board of directors declared a base dividend of $0.43 per share and a supplemental dividend of $0.11 per share for the second quarter. The dividends will be payable on June 25, 2025, to stockholders of record as of June 13, 2025.

    When declaring dividends, our board of directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which differs from consolidated income under GAAP due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of undistributed taxable income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of 2025 taxable income, as well as the tax attributes for 2025 dividends, will be made after the close of the 2025 tax year. The final tax attributes for 2025 dividends will generally include ordinary taxable income but may also include capital gains, qualified dividends and return of capital.

    Fidus has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when we declare a cash dividend, stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP at least two days prior to the dividend payment date will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

    Subsequent Events

    On April 15, 2025, we invested $5.0 million in first lien debt, $0.4 million in preferred equity, $0.4 million in common equity, and committed up to $4.0 million in a revolving loan to Laboratory Testing, LLC, a provider of material testing and calibration services, primarily to the Aerospace & Defense end market.

    On April 23, 2025, we exited our debt investments in Elements Brands, LLC. We received payment in full of $3.7 million on our first lien debt, which includes fees.

    On May 5, 2025, we issued an additional $10.0 million in SBA debentures, which will bear interest at a fixed interim interest rate of 5.163% until the pooling date in September 2025.

    Supplemental Information Regarding Adjusted Net Investment Income

     

    On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The management agreement with our investment advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses for such year, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid in all prior years. In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate. As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to adjusted net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures by excluding or including certain items can be helpful to investors and analysts who may wish to use this information to analyze the Company’s current performance, prospects and valuation. Management uses this non-GAAP information internally to evaluate operating performance and in formulating the budget for future periods. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures and metrics discussed below are appropriate for evaluating the performance of the Company.

    Adjusted EPS and Adjusted net income

    Adjusted EPS is defined as adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure defined as net income plus the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangibles, acquisition costs, losses on extinguishment of debt, and amounts related to the departure of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the applicable period. The Company presents adjusted net income and adjusted EPS because management believes that these metrics can provide investors with useful insight into the Company’s core operating performance by excluding non-cash items, acquisition costs, and certain other charges that management does not believe impact the Company’s ongoing operations. Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not measures of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, earnings per diluted share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of net income and earnings per diluted share to adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, please see the endnote disclosures in this release.

    Gross profit

    Gross profit is calculated as total revenue less advisory and commission expense; brokerage, clearing and exchange expense; and market fluctuations on employee deferred compensation. All other expense categories, including depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and amortization of other intangibles, are considered general and administrative in nature. Because the Company’s gross profit amounts do not include any depreciation and amortization expense, the Company considers gross profit to be a non-GAAP financial measure that may not be comparable to similar measures used by others in its industry. Management believes that gross profit can provide investors with useful insight into the Company’s core operating performance before indirect costs that are general and administrative in nature. For a calculation of gross profit, please see the endnote disclosures in this release.

    Core G&A

    Core G&A consists of total expense less the following expenses: advisory and commission; depreciation and amortization; interest expense on borrowings; brokerage, clearing and exchange; amortization of other intangibles; market fluctuations on employee deferred compensation; losses on extinguishment of debt; promotional (ongoing); employee share-based compensation; regulatory charges; and acquisition costs. Management presents core G&A because it believes core G&A reflects the corporate expense categories over which management can generally exercise a measure of control, compared with expense items over which management either cannot exercise control, such as advisory and commission, or which management views as promotional expense necessary to support advisor growth and retention, including conferences and transition assistance. Core G&A is not a measure of the Company’s total expense as calculated in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of the Company’s total expense to core G&A, please see the endnote disclosures in this release. The Company does not provide an outlook for its total expense because it contains expense components, such as advisory and commission, that are market-driven and over which the Company cannot exercise control. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company’s outlook for total expense to an outlook for core G&A cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

    EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense on borrowings, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of other intangibles. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, plus acquisition costs, amounts related to the departure of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and losses on extinguishment of debt. The Company presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because management believes that they can be useful financial metrics in understanding the Company’s earnings from operations. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, please see the endnote disclosures in this release.

    Adjusted pre-tax income

    Adjusted pre-tax income is defined as income before provision for income taxes plus amortization of other intangibles, acquisition costs, amounts related to the departure of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and losses on extinguishment of debt. The Company presents adjusted pre-tax income because management believes that it can provide investors with useful insight into the Company’s core operating performance by excluding non-cash items, acquisition costs, and certain other charges that management does not believe impact the Company’s ongoing operations. Adjusted pre-tax income is not a measure of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to income before provision for income taxes or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of income before provision for income taxes to adjusted pre-tax income, please see the endnote disclosures in this release.

    Credit Agreement EBITDA

    Credit Agreement EBITDA is defined in, and calculated by management in accordance with, the Company’s amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) as “Consolidated EBITDA,” which is Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus interest expense on borrowings, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of other intangibles, and is further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and other adjustments, and to include future expected cost savings, operating expense reductions or other synergies from certain transactions. The Company presents Credit Agreement EBITDA because management believes that it can be a useful financial metric in understanding the Company’s debt capacity and covenant compliance under its Credit Agreement. Credit Agreement EBITDA is not a measure of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of net income to Credit Agreement EBITDA, please see the endnote disclosures in this release.

    Comments from Chief Executive Officer, B. Bradford Martz:

    “We achieved our target combined ratio of 65% and delivered a return on equity over 30% in the first quarter of 2025.  Strong account retention and selective new business production combined with our strategy to retain more of our business resulted in net premiums earned increasing 9% and net loss and loss adjustment expenses decreasing slightly compared to the same period last year. The Company remains focused on disciplined underwriting to support sustainable profitability and value creation for our shareholders throughout the cycle.”

    Quarter to Date Financial Results

    Net income attributable to the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $21.3 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to net income of $23.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Drivers of net income during the first quarter of 2025 included increased gross premiums earned and decreased ceded premiums earned, driving an overall increase in revenues. This increase in revenue was offset by increased policy acquisition costs quarter-over-quarter, partially offset by decreased losses and LAE incurred and general and administrative expenses. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s net income attributable to discontinued operations was $1.6 million, compared to a net loss of $110 thousand attributable to discontinued operations during the first quarter of 2024.

    The Company’s total gross written premium increased by $13.3 million, or 7.2%, to $197.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, from $184.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The breakdown of the quarter-over-quarter changes in both direct written and assumed premiums are shown in the table below.

     
    ($ in thousands) Three Months Ended March 31,        
      2025   2024   Change $   Change %
    Direct Written and Assumed Premium              
    Direct premium $ 197,902     $ 184,601   $ 13,301     7.2 %
    Assumed premium(1)   (50 )         (50 )   100.0  
    Total commercial property gross written premium $ 197,852     $ 184,601   $ 13,251     7.2 %

    (1) Assumed premium written for 2025 primarily included commercial property business assumed from unaffiliated insurers subsequently cancelled.

    Loss and LAE decreased by $1.1 million, or 8.8%, to $11.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, from $12.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums decreased 3.2 points to 16.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to 19.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, the Company’s gross underlying loss and LAE ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, would have been 8.4%, an increase of 0.8 points from 7.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

    Policy acquisition costs increased by $13.9 million, or 144.8%, to $23.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, from $9.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in ceding commission income as the result of the Company’s decrease in quota share reinsurance coverage from 40% to 20%, effective June 1, 2024. External management fees also increased as a result of a one percent increase in the management fee agreed to in our contract renewal with AmRisc in 2024 and the increase in direct written premiums shown above.

    General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.8 million, or 15.9%, to $9.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, from $11.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, driven by a non-recurring employee retention tax credit refund submitted to the Internal Revenue Service in 2022 and received during the first quarter of 2025. This non-recurring refund was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 10, 2025 as a gain contingency. In addition, external spending for audit, actuarial and legal services decreased quarter-over-quarter.

    Reinsurance Costs as a Percentage of Gross Earned Premium

    Reinsurance costs as a percentage of gross earned premium in the first quarter of 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

         
      2025   2024
    Non-at-Risk (0.3) %   (0.2) %
    Quota Share (16.2) %   (31.5) %
    All Other (41.4) %   (29.3) %
    Total Ceding Ratio (57.9) %   (61.0) %
     

    Ceded premiums earned related to the Company’s catastrophe excess of loss contracts increased year-over-year, driven by a decrease in quota share reinsurance coverage from 40% to 20% effective June 1, 2024, which then required additional excess-of-loss coverage to be purchased by the Company. This decrease in quota share reinsurance coverage lowered the Company’s overall ceding ratio, as replacement excess of loss coverage was more cost effective than the 20% quota share contract that was not renewed.

    Investment Portfolio Highlights

    The Company’s cash, restricted cash and investment holdings increased from $540.8 million at December 31, 2024, to $568.8 million at March 31, 2025. This increase was driven by positive cash flows from operations. The Company’s cash and investment holdings consist of investments in U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt and investment grade money market instruments. Fixed maturities represented approximately 84.3% of total investments at March 31, 2025, compared to 82.3% of total investments at December 31, 2024. The Company’s fixed maturity investments had a modified duration of 2.0 years at March 31, 2025, compared to 2.2 years at December 31, 2024.

    Book Value Analysis

    Book value per common share increased 10.4% from $4.89 at December 31, 2024, to $5.40 at March 31, 2025. Underlying book value per common share increased 8.8% from $5.21 at December 31, 2024, to $5.67 at March 31, 2025. An increase in the Company’s retained earnings as a result of net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, drove the increase in the Company’s book value per share. As shown in the table below, removing the effect of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), caused by capital market conditions, increases the Company’s book value per common share at March 31, 2025.

    Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

    The Company believes that investors’ understanding of ACIC’s performance is enhanced by the Company’s disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. The Company’s methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

    Net income (loss) excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets, income (loss) from discontinued operations, realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net of tax (core income (loss)) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by adding amortization, net of tax, to net income (loss) and subtracting income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, realized gains (losses) on the Company’s investment portfolio, net of tax, and unrealized gains (losses) on the Company’s equity securities, net of tax, from net income (loss). Amortization expense is related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired, including goodwill, through mergers and, therefore, the expense does not arise through normal operations. Investment portfolio gains (losses) and unrealized equity security gains (losses) vary independent of the Company’s operations. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company’s performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). The core income (loss) measure should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business.

    Core return on equity is a non-GAAP ratio calculated using non-GAAP measures. It is calculated by dividing the core income (loss) for the period by the average stockholders’ equity for the trailing twelve months (or one quarter of such average, in the case of quarterly periods). Core income (loss) is an after-tax non-GAAP measure that is calculated by excluding from net income (loss) the effect of income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, non-cash amortization of intangible assets, including goodwill, unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s equity security investments and net realized gains or losses on the Company’s investment portfolio. In the opinion of the Company’s management, core income (loss), core income (loss) per share and core return on equity are meaningful indicators to investors of the Company’s underwriting and operating results, since the excluded items are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. Internally, the Company’s management uses core income (loss), core income (loss) per share and core return on equity to evaluate performance against historical results and establish financial targets on a consolidated basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is return on equity. The core return on equity measure should not be considered a substitute for return on equity and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business.

    Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP measure, that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year development from the combined ratio.  The Company believes that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to highlight the trends in the Company’s business that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development. Current year catastrophe losses cause the Company’s loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their frequency of occurrence and severity and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company’s performance.  The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business.

    Net loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying loss and LAE) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development from net loss and LAE. The Company uses underlying loss and LAE figures to analyze the Company’s loss trends that may be impacted by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development on the Company’s reserves. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on the Company’s loss trends in a given period. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company’s performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE.  The underlying loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business.

    Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss (underlying book value per common share), is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by dividing common stockholders’ equity after excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), by total common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. The Company uses the trend in book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), in conjunction with book value per common share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of interest rates that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic and financial factors that are not influenced by management. Book value per common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), should not be considered a substitute for book value per common share and does not reflect the recorded net worth of the Company’s business.

    Discontinued Operations

    On May 9, 2024, the Company entered into the Sale Agreement with Forza Insurance Holdings, LLC (“Forza”) in which ACIC agreed to sell and Forza agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company’s subsidiary, Interboro Insurance Company (“IIC”). Forza’s application to acquire IIC was approved by the New York Department of Financial Services on February 13, 2025 and closed on April 1, 2025. The Company received cash proceeds totaling approximately $26,500,000 from the sale. We do not anticipate that the gain or loss from the deconsolidation of IIC will be material to the financial statements.

    CTV revenue grew over 50% year-over-year; and

    Supply Path Optimization represented a record 55%+ of total activity

    NO-HEADQUARTERS/REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PubMatic, Inc. (Nasdaq: PUBM), an independent technology company delivering digital advertising’s supply chain of the future, today reported financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2025.

    “We are pleased with our Q1 performance, exceeding guidance on both the top and bottom line driven by the secular growth areas in our business. Ongoing investments in product innovation and go to market teams drove 21% year over year growth in our underlying business, with momentum carrying into April,” said Rajeev Goel, co-founder and CEO at PubMatic. “We firmly believe the current environment serves as a catalyst to accelerate the shift to programmatic and AI-driven solutions. Sell-side activation is emerging as the preferred model across the open internet as advertiser demand for more transparent, performant paths to inventory and data continues to increase. PubMatic sits at the forefront of this transformation while creating value for the entire supply chain.”

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

    • Revenue in the first quarter of 2025 was $63.8 million, compared to $66.7 million in the same period of 2024;
    • Net dollar-based retention1 was 102% for the trailing twelve-months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 106% in the comparable trailing twelve-month period a year ago;
    • GAAP net loss was $(9.5) million with a margin of (15)%, or $(0.20) per diluted share in the first quarter, compared to GAAP net loss of $(2.5) million with a margin of (4)%, or $(0.05) per diluted share in the same period of 2024;
    • Adjusted EBITDA was $8.5 million, or 13% margin, compared to $15.1 million, or a 23% margin, in the same period of 2024;
    • Non-GAAP net loss was $(1.8) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share in the first quarter, compared to Non-GAAP net income of $4.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in the same period of 2024;

    • Through March 31, 2025, used $138.2 million to repurchase 8.7 million shares of Class A common stock, representing 17% of fully diluted shares as of the program’s inception. PubMatic’s Board of Directors has authorized a $100.0 million expansion of the share repurchase program through 2026.

    The section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below describes our usage of non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations between historical GAAP and non-GAAP information are contained at the end of this press release following the accompanying financial data.

    Business Highlights

    Omnichannel platform drives revenue in key secular growth areas       

    • Revenue from CTV grew over 50% year-over-year. PubMatic partners with 80% of the top 30 streaming publishers.
    • Revenue from omnichannel video, which includes CTV, grew 20% year-over-year and represented 40% of total revenue.

    PubMatic’s Sell-Side Platform continues to scale; deliver performance   

    • Premium CTV inventory continues to scale, with new and expanded partnerships across the globe including Spectrum Reach, the advertising division of Charter Communications, TCL for live sports streaming content and the BBC’s free ad supported streaming channels.
    • Supply Path Optimization represented a record 55%+ of total activity on our platform in Q1 2025, up from 50% a year ago, driven by Activate, CTV Marketplace, and robust sell-side targeting capabilities. PubMatic received the The Supply Path Optimization (SPO) Award as part of AdExchanger’s 2025 Programmatic Impact Awards, highlighting the performance impact of Activate.
    • Activity from mid-market DSPs that specialize in performance marketing almost tripled on a year-over-year basis. These buyers are rapidly scaling ad spend on PubMatic as they prioritize access to premium supply, addressable audiences, and full-funnel sell-side solutions.
    • Kroger Precision Marketing (KPM) consolidated activity on PubMatic as part of their effort to improve media performance by reducing the number of supply partners by 70%. As a result of the partnership, KPM saw a 20% increase in click through rates in campaigns transacted via PubMatic.
    • Publishers using PubMatic’s audience curation tools see up to a 10% increase in advertising revenue, due to an increased diversity of ad buyers and higher CPMs.

    Launched upgraded Gen AI buyer platform

    • This end-to-end platform combines proprietary supply-side intelligence with AI-powered buying tools. It delivers efficiency gains and superior outcomes for advertisers, agencies and curators, while streamlining every stage of the media buying process—from audience and inventory discovery and forecasting to curation, activation, and performance optimization.
    • Offers ad buyers direct access to nearly the entire open internet – approximately 1,950 premium publishers, privacy-safe audience data from 190 data partners, and over 829 billion daily ad impressions.

    Owned and operated infrastructure drives operational efficiencies

    • Infrastructure optimization initiatives combined with limited capex drove nearly 75 trillion impressions processed in Q1 2025, an increase of 29% over Q1 2024.
    • Cost of revenue per million impressions processed decreased 20% on a trailing twelve month period, as compared to the prior period.

    “We delivered a strong first quarter and our 36th consecutive quarter of adjusted EBITDA profitability. Looking to the second half of the year, based on the strong momentum we are seeing in our underlying business, combined with our go-to-market and innovation investments, we expect our underlying revenues to continue growing 15%+,” said Steve Pantelick, CFO at PubMatic. “Additionally, we have implemented a prudent operational plan that will allow us to continue investing behind the fastest growing programmatic opportunities, while also protecting our profitability and balance sheet. This, coupled with our durable business model, gives us confidence that we can successfully navigate the current environment and be well positioned for future market share gains.”

    Financial Outlook

    Our outlook assumes that general market conditions do not significantly deteriorate as it relates to current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions.

    Accordingly, we estimate the following for the second quarter of 2025:

    • Revenue to be between $66 million to $70 million, inclusive of the impact from one of our top DSP buyers that revised its auction approach in mid 2024.
    • Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $9 million to $12 million, representing approximately a 17% margin at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA expectation assumes a negative foreign currency exchange impact predominantly from Euro and Pound Sterling expenses.

    Although we provide guidance for adjusted EBITDA, we are not able to provide guidance for net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of the composition of GAAP net income, including stock-based compensation expenses, are not predictable, making it impractical for us to provide guidance on net income or to reconcile our adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income without unreasonable efforts. For the same reason, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

    Conference Call and Webcast details

    PubMatic will host a conference call to discuss its financial results on Tuesday, May 8, 2025 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time (4:30 p.m. Eastern Time). A live webcast of the call can be accessed from PubMatic’s Investor Relations website at https://investors.pubmatic.com. An archived version of the webcast will be available from the same website after the call.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including, in particular operating income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, and net income (loss), we believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and free cash flow, each a non-GAAP measure, are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest income, and benefit from income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA calculated as a percentage of revenue. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and adjustments for income taxes. We define non-GAAP free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.

    In addition to operating income (loss) and net income (loss), we use adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and free cash flow as measures of operational efficiency. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period to period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:

    • Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) are widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and benefit from income taxes that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures and the method by which assets were acquired; and,
    • Our management uses adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and free cash flow in conjunction with GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of operating performance or, in the case of free cash flow, as a measure of liquidity, and the effectiveness of our business strategies and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance; and adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

    Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (b) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; or (c) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
    • Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; and
    • Non-GAAP net income (loss) does not include: (a) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; and (b) income tax effects for stock-based compensation

    Because of these and other limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow along with other GAAP-based financial measures, including net income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities, and our GAAP financial results.

    Forward Looking Statements

    This press release contains “forward-looking statements” regarding our future business expectations, including our guidance relating to our revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 and capex for the full year 2025, our expectations regarding our total addressable market, future market growth, and our ability to gain market share. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions and may differ materially from actual results due to a variety of factors including: our dependency on the overall demand for advertising and the channels we rely on; our existing customers not expanding their usage of our platform, or our failure to attract new publishers and buyers; our ability to maintain and expand access to spend from buyers and valuable ad impressions from publishers; the rejection of the use of digital advertising by consumers through opt-in, opt-out or ad-blocking technologies or other means; our failure to innovate and develop new solutions that are adopted by publishers; the war between Ukraine and Russia and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, and the related measures taken in response by the global community; the impacts of inflation, tariffs and recessionary fears as well as fiscal tightening, changes in the interest rate environment and continuing volatility in global capital markets; global macroeconomic uncertainty; limitations imposed on our collection, use or disclosure of data about advertisements; the lack of similar or better alternatives to the use of third-party cookies, mobile device IDs or other tracking technologies if such uses are restricted; any failure to scale our platform infrastructure to support anticipated growth and transaction volume; liabilities or fines due to publishers, buyers, and data providers not obtaining consents from consumers for us to process their personal data; any failure to comply with laws and regulations related to data privacy, data protection, information security, and consumer protection; and our ability to manage our growth. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing market, and new risks may emerge from time to time. For more information about risks and uncertainties associated with our business, please refer to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections of our SEC filings, including but not limited to, our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which are available on our investor relations website at https://investors.pubmatic.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will also be set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. All information in this press release is as of May 8, 2025. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

    1 Net dollar-based retention is calculated by starting with the revenue from publishers in the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2024 (Prior Period Revenue). We then calculate the revenue from these same publishers in the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2025 (Current Period Revenue). Current Period Revenue includes any upsells and is net of contraction or attrition, but excludes revenue from new publishers. Our net dollar-based retention rate equals the Current Period Revenue divided by Prior Period Revenue. Net dollar-based retention rate is an important indicator of publisher satisfaction and usage of our platform, as well as potential revenue for future periods

    CHANDLER, Ariz., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — – (NASDAQ: MCHP) – Microchip Technology Incorporated, a leading provider of smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions, today reported results for the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

    Steve Sanghi, Microchip’s CEO and President commented that “Our March quarter revenue of $970.5 million exceeded the midpoint of our guidance, and we believe marks the bottom of this prolonged industry down cycle for Microchip. The decisive actions we have taken under our nine-point-plan are enhancing our operational capabilities through more efficient manufacturing, improving inventory management, and a renewed strategic focus. As we move forward from a challenging fiscal year, we believe Microchip is better positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities as market conditions evolve.”

    Mr. Sanghi added, “A key highlight this quarter has been our inventory reduction strategy, with overall inventory dollars down $62.8 million, distribution inventory days reduced by 4 days to 33 days, and inventory days on our balance sheet decreased by 15 days from levels at December 31, 2024. We expect even more substantial inventory reduction in the June quarter as our manufacturing optimization actions are near completion.”

    Eric Bjornholt, Microchip’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “During the quarter, we executed multiple financial actions that strengthened our balance sheet. These included reducing our total net debt by roughly $1.30 billion with a mandatory convertible preferred offering. We also amended and extended our revolving line of credit with more favorable terms and financial flexibility. Our financing actions are helping to maintain our investment grade rating. We believe these strategic financial moves, alongside our disciplined cost management initiatives, position us well to navigate current market challenges while maintaining financial flexibility for future growth.”

    Rich Simoncic, Microchip’s Chief Operating Officer, said, “Our strategic initiatives continue to deliver value across markets, with our new Switchtec PCIe switches, advanced touchscreen controllers, and AI Coding software assistant demonstrating our commitment to innovation. By expanding our offerings in atomic clock technology, enhancing our microprocessors, and expanding our 10Base-T1S solutions, we believe we are well-positioned to address emerging opportunities in automotive, industrial, and e-mobility markets while accelerating our customers’ development cycles.”

    Mr. Sanghi concluded, “In the March 2025 quarter, we achieved our first positive book-to-bill ratio in nearly three years; and we have clearly reached an inflection point. Additionally, our bookings in the month of April were higher than any month in the March quarter. Balancing this with geopolitical concerns and the non-quantifiable impact of tariffs, we expect our net sales in the June 2025 quarter to be between $1.02 billion and $1.07 billion. Our focus is on translating the momentum we are seeing in our business into enhanced shareholder value while maintaining our dividend commitment as we return to growth.”

    The following table summarizes Microchip’s reported results for the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

    Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were $970.5 million, down 26.8% from net sales of $1.326 billion in the prior year’s fourth fiscal quarter.

    GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $156.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, down from GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $154.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the prior year’s fourth fiscal quarter. For the fourth quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, GAAP results were adversely impacted by amortization of acquired intangible assets associated with our previous acquisitions. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 GAAP results were adversely impacted by the restructuring charges that were announced on March 3, 2025 and the preferred stock dividend related to our mandatory convertible preferred stock financing in March 2025.

    Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $61.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, down from non-GAAP net income of $310.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the prior year’s fourth fiscal quarter. For the fourth quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, our non-GAAP results exclude the effect of share-based compensation, restructuring charges, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, severance, and other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions including legal fees and expenses for litigation and investigations related to our Microsemi acquisition), professional services associated with certain legal matters, losses on the settlement of debt, and dividends on preferred stock. For the fourth quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the applicable fiscal year, excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP and GAAP results is included in this press release.

    Net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 were $4.402 billion, a decrease of 42.3% from net sales of $7.634 billion in the prior fiscal year.

    GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 was $2.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, a decrease from net income of $1.907 billion, or $3.48 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year. Fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, GAAP net loss and GAAP net income results were significantly adversely impacted by amortization of acquired intangible assets associated with our previous acquisitions and loss on debt settlement associated with our debt refinancing activities. The fiscal 2025 GAAP net loss was adversely impacted by the restructuring charges that were announced on March 3, 2025, cybersecurity incident expenses and the preferred stock dividend related to our mandatory convertible preferred stock financing in March 2025.

    Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 was $708.8 million, a decrease of 73.7% from net income of $2.698 billion in the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 were $1.31, a decrease of 73.4% from the $4.92 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year. See the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this release.

    Microchip announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of 45.5 cents per share, which is payable on June 5, 2025 to stockholders of record on May 22, 2025. The Microchip Board also declared a quarterly cash dividend on its 7.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of $16.875 per share (which represents $0.8438 per depositary share) which is payable on June 15, 2025 to stockholders of record on June 1, 2025.

    First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook:

    The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

    Diluted net (loss) per common share $(0.15) to $(0.07) $0.33 $0.18 to $0.26

    (1) See the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this release for information regarding our non-GAAP guidance.
    (2) We are not able to estimate the amount of certain Special Charges and Other, net that may be incurred during the quarter ending June 30, 2025. Therefore, our estimate of GAAP operating expenses excludes certain amounts that may be recognized as Special Charges and Other, net in the quarter ending June 30, 2025.
    (3) The forecast for GAAP tax expense excludes any unexpected tax events that may occur during the quarter, as these amounts cannot be forecasted.
    (4) Represents the expected cash tax rate for fiscal 2026, excluding any transition tax payments associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
    (5) Our GAAP guidance excludes the impact of any potential charges related to our ongoing evaluation of restructuring activities.

    Capital expenditures for the quarter ending June 30, 2025 are expected to be between $20 million and $25 million. Capital expenditures for all of fiscal 2026 are expected to be at or below $100 million. Consistent with the slowing macroeconomic environment in fiscal 2025, we have paused most of our factory expansion actions and reduced our planned capital investments through fiscal 2026. However, we are adding capital equipment to selectively expand our production capacity and add research and development equipment.

    Under the GAAP revenue recognition standard, we are required to recognize revenue when control of the product changes from us to a customer or distributor. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating demand for our products in the end markets we serve and not on moving inventory into our distribution network. We also manage our manufacturing and supply chain operations, including our distributor relationships, towards the goal of having our products available at the time and location the end customer desires.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:  Our non-GAAP adjustments, where applicable, include the effect of share-based compensation, restructuring charges, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, severance, and other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions including legal fees and expenses for litigation and investigations related to our Microsemi acquisition), professional services associated with certain legal matters, losses on the settlement of debt, and dividends on preferred stock. For the fourth quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the fiscal year, excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

    We are required to estimate the cost of certain forms of share-based compensation, including restricted stock units, and our employee stock purchase plan, and to record a commensurate expense in our income statement. Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is affected by the price of our stock at the date of grant. The price of our stock is affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management. Our other non-GAAP adjustments are either non-cash expenses, unusual or infrequent items, or other expenses related to transactions. Management excludes all of these items from its internal operating forecasts and models.

    We are using non-GAAP operating expenses in dollars, including non-GAAP research and development expenses and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other expense, net, and non-GAAP income tax rate, which exclude the items noted above, as applicable, to permit additional analysis of our performance.

    Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they enhance the understanding of our historical financial performance and comparability between periods. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose this non-GAAP information because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it excludes non-cash and other charges that many investors feel may obscure our underlying operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of our business and for compensation purposes. We also use our non-GAAP results when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Our determination of these non-GAAP measures might not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it should not be construed as a substitute for amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations associated with using these non-GAAP measures, including that they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Management compensates for this by presenting information on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for investors and providing reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP results.

    Generally, gross profit fluctuates over time, driven primarily by the mix of products sold and licensing revenue; variances in manufacturing yields; fixed cost absorption; wafer fab loading levels; costs of wafers from foundries; inventory reserves; pricing pressures in our non-proprietary product lines; and competitive and economic conditions. Operating expenses fluctuate over time, primarily due to net sales and profit levels.

    Diluted Common Shares Outstanding can vary for, among other things, the trading price of our common stock, the vesting of restricted stock units, the potential for incremental dilutive shares from our convertible debentures and our mandatory convertible preferred stock (additional information regarding our share count is available in the investor relations section of our website under the heading “Supplemental Information”), and repurchases or issuances of shares of our common stock. The diluted common shares outstanding presented in the guidance table above assumes an average Microchip stock price in the June 2025 quarter between $45 and $55 per share (however, we make no prediction as to what our actual share price will be for such period or any other period).

  • MIL-OSI: Abacus Global Management Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    – First Quarter 2025 Total Revenue More Than Doubled Year-over-Year to $44.1 Million –

    – Longevity Funds Attracted $122.8 Million in Capital Inflows –

    – GAAP Net Income of $4.6 Million –

    – Adjusted Net Income Grew 158% Year-over-Year to $17.3 Million –

    – Adjusted EBITDA More Than Doubled Year-over-Year to $24.5 Million –

    ORLANDO, Fla., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Abacus Global Management, Inc. (“Abacus” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ABL), a leader in the alternative asset management space, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    “We delivered exceptional results in the first quarter of 2025, more than doubling our revenue and adjusted earnings year-over-year while strengthening our market position,” said Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Abacus. “Our unique business model continues to demonstrate its resilience and appeal in today’s uncertain market environment, serving both policyholders seeking liquidity and investors pursuing uncorrelated alternative assets. Additionally, our asset management business is gaining significant momentum, as evidenced by our newly launched funds attracting $122.8 million in capital inflows in just the first month. With our robust balance sheet, expanded product offerings, and growing brand presence, we are well-positioned to achieve our growth targets for 2025 and beyond.”

    First Quarter 2025 Highlights

    • Total revenue for the first quarter more than doubled to $44.1 million, compared to $21.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from Life Solutions (formerly active management and origination), as well as a full quarter of asset management fees from the acquisitions that were completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
    • Origination capital deployment for the first quarter of 2025 was $124.9 million, compared to $54.6 million in the prior-year period; number of policies held as of the end of the first quarter of 2025 stood at 753, compared to 322 in the prior-year period.
    • GAAP net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2025 was $4.6 million, compared to net loss of $1.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues, partially offset by increased operating expenses related to the acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
    • Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 grew 158% to $17.3 million, compared to $6.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025 was $0.18, compared to $0.11 in the prior-year period.
    • Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 more than doubled to $24.5 million, compared to $11.6 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 was 55.6%, compared to 53.9% in the prior-year period.
    • Annualized return on invested capital (ROIC) (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 was 16.7%.
    • Annualized Return on equity (ROE) (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 was 16.0%.

    Liquidity and Capital

    As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $43.8 million, balance sheet policy assets of $448.1 million and outstanding long-term debt of $238.0 million.

    2025 Outlook

    The company is maintaining its full year 2025 outlook for Adjusted net income of between $70 million and $78 million. The range implies growth of between 51% to 68% compared to full year 2024 Adjusted net income of $46.5 million.

    For a definition of Adjusted net income, see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

    Non-GAAP Financial Information

    Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Abacus adjusted for non-controlling interest income, amortization, change in fair value of warrants and non-cash stock-based compensation and the related tax effect of those adjustments. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to Net income attributable to Abacus, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.

    The Company is unable to provide a comparable FY 2025 outlook for, or a reconciliation to net income because it cannot provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. Its inability to do so is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of items that have not yet occurred and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including variations in effective tax rate, expenses to be incurred for acquisition activities, and other one-time or exceptional items.

    Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Abacus adjusted for depreciation expense, amortization, interest expense, income tax and other non-cash and certain non-recurring items that in our judgement significantly impact the period-over-period assessment of performance and operating results that do not directly relate to business performance within Abacus’ control. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income attributable to Abacus Life, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.

    Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total revenues. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to Net income margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.

    Annualized return on invested capital (ROIC), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted net income for the quarter divided by the result of Total Assets less Intangible assets, net, Goodwill and Current Liabilities multiplied by four. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe ROIC should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities or other income statement or cash flow statement line items reported in accordance with GAAP.

    Annualized return on equity (ROE), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted net income divided by total shareholder equity multiplied by four. ROE is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe ROE should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities or other income statement or cash flow statement line items reported in accordance with GAAP. The below table presents our calculation of ROE.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    All statements in this press release (and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this press release) other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements, many of which are outside the control of Abacus. Forward-looking information includes but is not limited to statements regarding: Abacus’s financial and operational outlook; Abacus’s operational and financial strategies, including planned growth initiatives and the benefits thereof, Abacus’s ability to successfully effect those strategies, and the expected results therefrom. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “goals,” “prospects,” “will,” “would,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions (including the negative versions of such words or expressions).

    While Abacus believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors that could impact the future performance or results of its business. The factors that could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the fact that Abacus’s loss reserves are bases on estimates and may be inadequate to cover its actual losses; the failure to properly price Abacus’s insurance policies; the geographic concentration of Abacus’s business; the cyclical nature of Abacus’s industry; the impact of regulation on Abacus’s business; the effects of competition on Abacus’s business; the failure of Abacus’s relationships with independent agencies; the failure to meet Abacus’s investment objectives; the inability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all; the effects of acts of terrorism; and the effectiveness of Abacus’s control environment, including the identification of control deficiencies.

    These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors, forward-looking statements and challenges and uncertainties set forth in documents filed by Abacus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent periodic reports. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Abacus cautions you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Abacus assumes no obligation and, except as required by law, does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Abacus does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    –Net Revenue of $63.9 million, up 14% compared to prior year–
    –Gross Margin improved to 36.6%, an increase of approximately 470 basis points compared to prior year–
    –Net Loss of $(0.7) million compared to Net Income of $0.2 million in prior year–

    –Authorized a new $75 million stock repurchase program–

    SAN DIEGO, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: TBCH), a leading gaming accessories brand, today reported strong financial results, including growth in revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and gross margins in the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    First Quarter Highlights

    • Net revenue was $63.9 million, an increase of 14% compared to the prior year period.
    • Gross margin improved approximately 470 basis points to 36.6% compared to 31.8% in the prior year.
    • Net loss was $(0.7) million or ($0.03) per diluted share compared to net income of $0.2 million or $0.01 per diluted share in the prior year period.
    • Adjusted EBITDA was $4.1 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year period.
    • Generated $40.5 million in cash flow from operations, the highest level since 2019.
    • Authorized a new $75 million stock repurchase program.

    “With incremental revenue and margin from our March 2024 acquisition of PDP, we delivered strong Q1 growth over the prior year, despite a year-to-date decline in gaming accessories markets due to current macroeconomic headwinds. Our Adjusted EBITDA growth reflects the benefits from our expanded portfolio of next-generation gaming accessories and highlights the accretive advantages of our M&A strategy and strong execution,” said Cris Keirn, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation.

    “As we have entered into a dynamic and complex macroeconomic environment, we have rapidly adapted our operations to better position the Company for the future. We have been prepared for the potential shift in tariffs and have quickly responded.  We proactively increased inventory levels at the start of the year, and following the announcement in early April of new tariffs, we took immediate and decisive action. We are pleased to report that because of our early planning and preparedness, we are transitioning significant production out of China. As such, following the first quarter, less than 10% of our supply for the U.S. will come from China. For the remainder of 2025, our U.S. supply will primarily come from Vietnam, and we will continue evaluating and implementing further diversification of our end-to-end supply chain. Additionally, we have mitigation plans in place should additional changes occur to the current tariff environment for Vietnam. The portion of our supply chain that we continue maintaining in China will primarily be dedicated to producing goods for non-U.S. shipments.

    “Our commitment to long-term value creation extends beyond product innovation. Over the past year, we implemented the largest share repurchase program in the Company’s history, as we continue to opportunistically return capital to shareholders. The recent decision by our board of directors to authorize the repurchase of up to $75 million of our stock over the next two years signals our continued confidence in our prospects and our continued willingness to repurchase the Company’s shares.

    “Given recent events in the broader macroeconomic environment, we’ve made thoughtful revisions in our financial outlook. We remain confident in our near-term initiatives, the expertise of our team, and our ability to drive value for shareholders. Our focus on profitability, operational efficiency, and growth continues to drive our efforts as we adapt to these evolving conditions. We appreciate the ongoing support of our shareholders and stakeholders as we work toward more growth in 2026 and execute our strategy for sustainable, long-term success.”

    Share Repurchase Update
    For the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased $1.8 million of common stock. Since the Company began repurchasing shares under the prior stock repurchase authorization program in the second quarter of 2024, the Company has repurchased 1.9 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $29.5 million. In line with its continued commitment to return capital to shareholders, the Company is opportunistically assessing various potential share repurchase strategies. The Company has authorized a new stock repurchase program of up to $75 million over the next two years. The amount and timing of specific repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, restrictions in the Company’s debt agreements and other factors. The Company intends to fund the share repurchases using cash from operations or short-term borrowings and may suspend or discontinue repurchases at any time. The share repurchase program is scheduled to expire on May 6, 2027.

    Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Summary
    As of March 31, 2025, the Company had net debt of $43.6 million, comprised of $55.2 million of borrowings less $11.7 million of cash. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated $40.5 million in cash flow from operations, the highest level since 2019.

    Financial Outlook
    Due to the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and the recent industry announcements regarding new game releases, the Company is revising its financial outlook for the full year 2025. The Company currently expects gaming accessories markets to improve throughout 2025 but remain down for the full year compared to 2024, resulting in Company net revenues in the range of $340 million and $360 million. As the Company continues to execute on its profitability initiatives, it currently expects Adjusted EBITDA to be between $47 million and $53 million.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    In addition to its reported results, the Company has included in this earnings release certain financial metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA, that the Securities and Exchange Commission define as “non-GAAP financial measures.” Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s results. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative to the Company’s GAAP financial results and may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures presented by other companies. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation (non-cash), and certain non-recurring special items that we believe are not representative of core operations, as further described in Table 4. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to perform financial planning, and to determine incentive compensation. Therefore, the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors. The non-GAAP financial measures included herein exclude items that management does not believe reflect the Company’s core operating performance because such items are inherently unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash. See a reconciliation of GAAP results to Adjusted EBITDA included as Table 4 below for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024.

    By providing full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance, the Company provided its expectation of a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. Information reconciling full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort due to the variability, complexity, and lack of visibility with respect to certain reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and net income (loss), including other income (expense), provision for income taxes and stock-based compensation. These items cannot be reasonably and accurately predicted without the investment of undue time, cost and other resources and, accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA outlook to its net income (loss) outlook for such periods is not provided. These reconciling items could be material to the Company’s actual results for such periods.

    Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

  • MIL-OSI Australia: Crocodile captured in Little Annan River near Rossville

    Source: Tasmania Police

    Issued: 6 May 2025

    Open larger image

    The 2.8m crocodile was removed from the wild following several reports from the local community.

    A 2.8-metre estuarine crocodile has been captured in a baited trap on the Little Annan River near Cooktown on 27 April 2025.

    Wildlife Rangers from the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI) set the trap near Rossville on 24 April 2025, after receiving sighting reports from local residents.

    Lindsay Delzoppo, DETSI’s Director Northern Wildlife Operations, said the crocodile had been declared a ‘problem crocodile’ and targeted for removal based on its size and location – near private campgrounds where people often swim.

    “The fact that it had entered a baited trap after only three days, shows it must have been pretty hungry, he said.

    “We’d like to thank the members of community who reported the crocodile sightings to us. Such information is vital for us to locate the animal promptly and assess that it needed to be targeted for removal,” Mr Delzoppo said.

    “We would also like to thank the Cook Shire Council for their support and assistance while our wildlife rangers were investigating this and other crocodile sighting reports in the Cooktown area.

    “The removal of this animal is a reminder that crocodiles are highly mobile and can turn up in places they may not have been seen for many years, especially after flooding.”

    “People living on and visiting Cape York Peninsula should be aware that crocodiles may be present in any waterway, even if there are no warning signs.”

    Cook Shire Council Mayor Robyn Holmes confirmed that wildlife rangers have successfully removed a crocodile from the Little Annan River, crediting strong collaboration between agencies.

    “This is great news for the community,” Mayor Holmes said. “I want to thank the wildlife rangers not only for capturing the crocodile but also for educating the public and putting up recent sighting warning signs during their investigation.

    “Thank you to everyone who reported sightings to DETSI. I encourage all residents to report any crocodile sightings—this helps protect our community.

    “We live in crocodile territory. Staying alert and reporting sightings keeps everyone safer.”

    Crocodiles can be reported by using the QWildlife app, completing a crocodile sighting report on the DETSI website, or by calling 1300 130 372. The department investigates every crocodile sighting report received.

    First Quarter Financial Data

    • Assets under management ended the quarter at $1.27 billion versus $1.25 billion at December 31, 2024. 
    • Book value was $42.51 per share at March 31, 2025 versus $42.14 per share at December 31, 2024. 

    First Quarter Results

    Total revenues in the first quarter were $2.1 million compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2024.  Revenues generated by the GAMCO International SICAV – GAMCO Merger Arbitrage (the “SICAV”) were $0.9 million versus $1.7 million in the prior year period due to lower average AUM in 2025. All other revenues were $1.2 million compared to $1.3 million in the year-ago quarter.

    Total operating expenses, excluding management fee, were $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase is driven primarily by $0.9 million of mark to market expense on phantom RSA’s driven by an increase in AC’s stock price compared to 2024, partially offset by lower variable-based sales and marketing costs on the SICAV of $0.6 million.

    Net investment and other non-operating income was $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $22.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. The primary driver of the 2025 quarter’s results was our merger arbitrage partnerships. Interest income was lower in the 2025 quarter due to lower average interest rates in the first quarter of 2025.

    For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the management fee was $1.1 million versus $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

    The effective tax rate applied to our pre-tax income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was 26.3%. In the year ago quarter, the effective tax rate was 21.5%; 2024’s lower rate is primarily driven by deferred tax benefits from a foreign investment.

    Assets Under Management (AUM)

    Assets under management at March 31, 2025 were $1.27 billion, $21 million higher than year-end 2024 primarily due to market appreciation of $33 million and the impact of currency fluctuations in non-US dollar denominated classes of investment funds ($13 million). These increases were partially offset by net outflows of $25 million.

    Alternative Investment Management

    The alternative investment strategy offerings center around our merger arbitrage strategy which has an absolute return focus of generating returns independent of the broad equity and fixed income markets. We also offer strategies utilizing fundamental, active, event-driven and special situations investments.

    Merger Arbitrage

    For the first quarter of 2025, the longest continuously offered fund in the merger arbitrage strategy generated gross returns of 3.77% (2.81% net of fees). A summary of the performance is as follows:

                        Full Year

    (b) Represents annualized returns through March 31, 2025
    (c) Inception Date: February 1985

    Global M&A activity for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $890 billion, an increase of 15% compared to the first quarter of 2024. Technology was the most active sector with $165 billion, accounting for 19% of total value, followed by Financials ($165 billion or 19%) and Energy & Power ($126 billion or 14%). Europe was a bright spot with M&A totaling $154 billion in Q1 2025, a 12% increase compared to Q1 2024, while Asia Pacific M&A increased 59% to $187 billion. Both of these regions experienced their strongest performance in 3 years. Private Equity remained active, accounting for 21% of deal volume overall, or about $185 billion. This was the third strongest opening quarter for private equity and is indicative of the values PE firms are finding and reflective of the approximately $3 trillion of “dry powder” private equity firms have to deploy. Despite recent market volatility creating uncertainty, we believe a more accommodative antitrust environment and pent-up demand from acquirers should be supportive of ongoing M&A activity.

    The Merger Arbitrage strategy is offered by mandate and client type through partnerships and offshore corporations serving accredited as well as institutional investors. The strategy is also offered in separately managed accounts, a Luxembourg UCITS (an entity organized as an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferrable Securities) and a London Stock Exchange listed investment company, Gabelli Merchant Partners Plc (GMP-LN) (f/k/a Gabelli Merger Plus+ Trust Plc). 

    Acquisitions

    Associated Capital Group’s plan is to accelerate the use of its capital. We intend to leverage our research and investment capabilities by pursuing acquisitions and alliances that will broaden our product offerings and add new sources of distribution. In addition, we may make direct investments in operating businesses using a variety of techniques and structures to accomplish our objectives.

    Gabelli Private Equity Partners, LLC was created to launch a private equity business, somewhat akin to the success our predecessor PE firm had in the 1980s. We will continue our outreach initiatives with business owners, corporate management, and various financial sponsors. We are activating our program of buying privately owned, family started businesses, controlled and operated by the founding family.

    Shareholder Compensation

    On May 7, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual dividend of $0.10 per share, which is payable on June 26, 2025 to shareholders of record on June 12, 2025.

    During the first quarter of 2025, AC repurchased 39,018 Class A shares, for $1.4 million, at an average price of $36.32 per share. In the first quarter of 2024, AC repurchased 117,354 Class A shares, for $3.9 million, at an average price of $33.63 per share.

    Since our spin-off from GAMCO on November 30, 2015, AC has returned $184.2 million to shareholders through share repurchases, exchange offers and dividends of $83.2 million.

    At March 31, 2025, there were 21.145 million shares outstanding, consisting of 2.194 million Class A shares and 18.951 million Class B shares outstanding.

    Operating Loss Before Management Fee

    Operating loss before management fee expense represents a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to evaluate its business operations. We believe this measure is useful in illustrating the operating results of the Company as management fee expense is based on pre-tax income before management fee expense, which includes non-operating items including investment gains and losses from the Company’s proprietary investment portfolio and interest expense.

    SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

    The financial results set forth in this press release are preliminary. Our disclosure and analysis in this press release, which do not present historical information, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results. Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, the economy and other conditions, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe. Therefore, you should proceed with caution in relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance.

    Forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, some of which are listed below, that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations or beliefs include a decline in the securities markets that adversely affect our assets under management, negative performance of our products, the failure to perform as required under our investment management agreements, and a general downturn in the economy that negatively impacts our operations. We also direct your attention to the more specific discussions of these and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors contained in our Form 10 and other public filings. Other factors that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely to achieve our expectations whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LAS VEGAS, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Live Ventures Incorporated (Nasdaq: LIVE) (“Live Ventures” or the “Company”), a diversified holding company, today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter 2025 ended March 31, 2025. 

    Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Key Highlights:

    • Revenue was $107.0 million, compared to $118.6 million in the prior year period
    • Operating income increased $2.9 million to $2.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $0.8 million in the prior year period
    • Successfully negotiated a $19 million reduction on the balance owed under the Flooring Liquidators, Inc. (“Flooring Liquidators”) seller note, which, when including the cancellation of accrued interest and other items, resulted in a $22.8 million net gain for Live Ventures
    • Income before provision for income taxes was $21.1 million, compared to the prior year period loss before benefit from income taxes of $4.5 million. Income before provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2025 includes the $22.8 million gain as described above
    • Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased $2.0 million to $6.4 million, compared to $4.5 million in the prior year period
    • Repurchased 31,323 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $8.28 per share

    • Approximately $26.6 million of cash and availability under the Company’s credit facilities as of March 31, 2025

    “Continuing the trend from the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, our Retail-Entertainment and Steel Manufacturing segments delivered improved operating performance in the second quarter, with higher operating income and operating margin compared to the same period last year. At the same time, ongoing softness in the new home construction and home refurbishment markets continued to pressure our Retail-Flooring and Flooring Manufacturing segments, where reduced consumer demand impacted performance,” commented David Verret, Chief Financial Officer of Live Ventures.

    “We are pleased with the operational improvements in our Retail-Entertainment and Steel Manufacturing segments during the first half of the year,” stated Jon Isaac, President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Ventures. “In response to our flooring businesses’ industry-specific challenges, we are implementing measures to enhance efficiency. In the second quarter, we initiated large cost-reduction initiatives in the Retail-Flooring segment, which have already resulted in significant savings. We remain focused on operational excellence and are confident in the long-term fundamentals of our businesses.”

Revenue increased primarily due to changes in product mix toward new products, which generally have higher selling prices. Gross margin increased to 59.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to 58.4% for the prior year period. The change in product mix contributed to the increase in gross margin.

The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the disposition of certain Johnson Floor & Home Carpet One stores in May 2024. Gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was 34.4%, compared to 36.5% for the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a change in product mix.

The decrease in revenue was primarily due to reduced consumer demand, as a result of the ongoing weakness in the housing market and uncertainty about the current economic outlook. Gross margin was 27.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to 25.6% for the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to changes in product mix.

The decline was primarily driven by lower sales volumes at certain business units, partially offset by incremental revenue of $3.8 million at Central Steel Fabricators, LLC (“Central Steel”), which was acquired in May 2024. Gross margin was 21.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to 14.3% for the prior year period.

    Corporate and Other

    The Corporate and Other segment operating loss was approximately $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

    The Flooring Manufacturing segment revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $55.8 million, a decrease of approximately $7.6 million, or 12.0%, compared to prior year period revenue of approximately $63.4 million. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to reduced consumer demand as a result of the ongoing weakness in the housing market and uncertainty about the current economic outlook. Gross margin was 24.6% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 23.9% for the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to changes in product mix. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $1.4 million, compared to operating income of approximately $2.9 million for the prior year period.

    Steel Manufacturing

    The Steel Manufacturing segment revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $63.8 million, a decrease of approximately $5.0 million or 7.4%, compared to prior year period revenue of approximately $68.8 million. The decline was primarily driven by lower sales volumes at certain business units partially offset by incremental revenue of $6.9 million at Central Steel, which was acquired in May 2024. Gross margin was 19.7% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 15.0% for the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to strategic price increases, as well as the acquisition of Central Steel. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $3.4 million, compared to operating income of approximately $1.9 million in the prior year period.

    Corporate and Other

    The Corporate and Other segment operating loss was approximately $2.9 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

    Non-GAAP Financial Information

    Adjusted EBITDA

    We evaluate the performance of our operations based on financial measures, such as “Adjusted EBITDA,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or nonrecurring charges. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of the business, including the business’s ability to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and to service its debt. Additionally, this measure is used by management to evaluate operating results and perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure that is customarily used by financial analysts to evaluate a company’s financial performance, subject to certain adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss, and is indicative neither of our results of operations, nor of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. It is, however, a measurement that the Company believes is useful to investors in analyzing its operating performance. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. As companies often define non-GAAP financial measures differently, Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by Live Ventures Incorporated, should not be compared to any similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

    Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

    The use of the word “Company” refers to Live Ventures and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain statements in this press release contain or may suggest “forward-looking” information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Words such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar statements are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and there are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the Company, including, but not limited to, plans and objectives of management for future operations or products, the market acceptance or future success of our products, and our future financial performance. The Company cautions that these forward-looking statements are further qualified by other factors including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

    • California Ethanol passes $2 billion cumulative revenue milestone.

    CUPERTINO, Calif., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX), a renewable natural gas and renewable fuels company focused on low and negative carbon intensity products that replace petroleum products and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    “Revenues during the first quarter of 2025 of $42.9 million reflect continued and strong execution by our California Ethanol and Dairy Renewable Natural Gas segments. After a pause in production and supply under the OMC contracts, our India Biodiesel segment is now approved to return to regular production levels,” said Todd Waltz, Chief Financial Officer of Aemetis. “We look forward to substantial additional revenues when we receive the LCFS provisional pathway approvals that are expected to approximately double our LCFS revenues and receive the federal Inflation Reduction Act Section 45Z production tax credits,” added Waltz.

    “We are pleased with the continued growth of Aemetis Biogas production and continued progress with building a large centralized dairy digester to process waste from four dairies that is expected to be operational in the next few months,” said Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis. “Our continued focus on significantly improving cash flow from our California Ethanol segment by replacing fossil natural gas with lower carbon electricity is now underway with the fabrication of the equipment for the mechanical vapor recompression project.”

    Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

    Total revenues during the first quarter of 2025 were $42.9 million compared to $72.6 million for the first quarter of 2024. Delays with the receipt of contracts in India from the government-owned Oil Marketing Companies accounted for the decline in revenue. New OMC letters of intent for $31 million were issued in April 2025 and we started shipments in April. Our Keyes ethanol plant increased revenues by $1.7 million due principally to an increase in the average price of Ethanol from $1.79 during 2024 to $1.98 during the first quarter of 2025. Our Dairy Natural Gas segment sold 70,900 MMBtu of renewable natural gas, an increase of 10,100 MMBtu from the same quarter last year.

    Gross loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $5.1 million, compared to a $0.6 million loss during the first quarter of 2024.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million to $10.5 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $8.9 million during the same period in 2024, driven primarily from legal and other transaction costs associated with receiving $18 million of cash proceeds from tax credit sales during the first quarter.

    Operating loss was $15.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to operating loss of $9.5 million for the same period in 2024.

    Interest expense, excluding accretion of Series A preferred units in the Aemetis Biogas LLC subsidiary, increased to $13.7 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $10.5 million during the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, Aemetis Biogas recognized $2.3 million of accretion of Series A preferred units during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $3.3 million during the first quarter of 2024.

    Income tax expense included a benefit from the sale of $7.0 million of Investment Tax Credits during the first quarter of 2025.

    Net loss was $24.5 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to net loss of $24.2 million for the first quarter of 2024.

    Cash at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was $500 thousand compared to $900 thousand at the close of the fourth quarter of 2024. We recorded investments in capital projects related to the reduction of the carbon intensity of Aemetis ethanol and construction of dairy digesters of $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, payments of $15.4 million were applied to the repayment of debt during the first quarter.

    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    We have provided non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying supplemental data. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) plus (to the extent deducted in calculating such net income) interest and amortization expense, income tax expense or benefit, accretion expense, depreciation expense, and share-based compensation expense.

    Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss), operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is a useful performance measure that is widely used within the industry in which we operate. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA for reviewing financial results and for budgeting and planning purposes. EBITDA measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure for comparison.

    Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Measures

    Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

    In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. CoreCard considers Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per diluted share (“Adjusted EPS”) as supplemental measures of the company’s performance that is not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP.

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; income tax expense (benefit); investment income (loss); and other income (expense), net. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period.

    We define Adjusted EPS as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense. We believe that Adjusted EPS is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period.

    Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to net income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of the company’s liquidity. In addition, other companies may calculate Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA differently than CoreCard, which limits its usefulness in comparing CoreCard’s financial results with those of other companies.

    The following table shows CoreCard’s GAAP results reconciled to non-GAAP results included in this release:
