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

    Further Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1Growth is Expected in 2025 

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

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

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

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

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

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

    2025 First Quarter Financial Highlights

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

    Management Comment 

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

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

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

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

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

    2025 First Quarter Financial Results

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Non-GAAP Financial Information

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

We are continuing to advance our conversations with key enterprise and platform partner prospects in order to achieve our bookings targets and are intensifying our focus on the large enterprise and large channel OEM segments as we move through the second quarter.

    “We recently secured nearly $9 million in capital through two financing rounds to improve our balance sheet, broaden our investor base and provide us with additional expertise and support as we scale our business and invest in new opportunities. Through these efforts we have also created an advisory board comprised of two new expert advisors, Eric Swider and Donald Nitti. Both leaders have extensive experience in different industry and government sectors where authID’s biometric identity solutions can address critical needs.

    “As we move through the year, we continue to expect to close multiple Fortune 500 and multi-national customers in 2025, and we are currently in the late stages of our sales cycle with these potential customers. I’m pleased with our momentum to date and remain confident that we will sign new customers and drive significant growth towards our $18 million bookings target for 2025.”

    Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Forward-Looking Statements

    This Press Release includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts included herein, including, without limitation, those regarding the future results of operations, growth and sales, potential contract signings, booked Annual Recurring Revenue (bARR) (and its components cARR and UAC), Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), cash flow, cash position and financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations of both authID Inc. and its business partners, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions regarding authID’s present and future business strategies, and the environment in which authID expects to operate in the future, which assumptions may or may not be fulfilled in practice. Actual results may vary materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risk factors, including the Company’s ability to attract and retain customers; successful implementation of the services to be provided under new customer contracts and their adoption by customers’ users; the Company’s ability to compete effectively; changes in laws, regulations and practices; the increase in international tariffs and uncertainty over international trading conditions, changes in domestic and international economic and political conditions, the impact of the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, inflationary pressures, changes in interest rates, and others. See the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2024 filed at www.sec.gov and other documents filed with the SEC for other risk factors which investors should consider. These forward-looking statements speak only as to the date of this release and cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. authID expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this release to reflect any changes in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based.

    Non-GAAP Financial Information

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

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

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

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

    Adjusted EBITDA continuing operations (Non-GAAP)   (3,893,768 )     (2,386,980 )
     

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

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

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

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

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

  • MIL-OSI: Waldencast Reports Q1 2025 Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Q1 Net Revenue of $65.4 million, (4.1)% decline from Q1 2024
    76.4% Adjusted Gross Margin, an improvement of 10 basis points
    $4.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA

    LONDON, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Waldencast plc (NASDAQ: WALD) (“Waldencast” or the “Company”), a global multi-brand beauty and wellness platform, today reported operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (“Q1 2025”) on Form 6-K to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are also available on our investor relations site at http://ir.waldencast.com/.

    Michel Brousset, Waldencast Founder and CEO, said: “As anticipated, in Q1 2025, Milk Makeup results were impacted by the cycling of the very successful launch of Jellies in Q1 2024, as well as the significant inventory reduction at the retail level versus a year ago.”

    “Despite a broader slowdown in the prestige beauty category in the U.S., Milk Makeup ended the quarter on a very strong note, fueled by the highly successful launch of Hydro Grip Gel Tint, which sold out shortly after release. We are also very pleased with the brand’s entry into Ulta Beauty, with retail sales beginning in late February. Both initiatives exceeded expectations and contributed to the brand’s high single-digit growth in U.S. retail sales. This solid domestic performance was offset by the contraction of international sales, which faced a difficult comparison against last year’s Q1 distribution expansion, as well as inventory reduction by retail partners. In Q1, Milk Makeup partnered with Nike Running in North America for the Nike After Dark Tour in Los Angeles, bringing sport and self-expression together to keep expanding reach and deepen community engagement.”

    “The Obagi Medical brand delivered a solid performance in the first quarter, although out of stocks in some key SKUs dampened volume growth. We are accelerating ongoing efforts to transform our supply chain—consolidating third party logistics partners and enhancing operational capabilities—to improve fulfillment, increase reliability, and support long-term, scalable growth.”

    “Despite a difficult quarter, we continue to increase our investments in marketing, up in the high teens, to fuel brand equity and set a strong foundation for delivering our long-term ambitions, starting with our 2025 objectives.”

    “We are confident in our ability to deliver a stronger performance throughout the remainder of the year, beginning in Q2. Key drivers include a robust pipeline of breakthrough innovation at both Milk Makeup and Obagi Medical, combined with restocking of Hydro Grip Gel Tint which is expected to fuel continued consumer demand. We also anticipate a meaningful uplift in Milk Makeup volumes from the successful Ulta Beauty launch. Additionally, ongoing improvements from Obagi Medical’s supply chain restructuring are expected to enhance fulfillment rates and operational resilience,” concluded Mr. Brousset.

    Q1 2025 Results Overview

    Please refer to the definitions and reconciliations set out further in this release with respect to certain adjusted non-GAAP measures discussed below which are included to provide an easier understanding of the underlying performance of the business, but should not be seen as a substitute for the U.S. GAAP numbers presented in this release.

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024:

    Net Revenue decreased 4.1% year-over-year to $65.4 million.

    Gross Profit was $47.2 million, while Adjusted Gross Profit totaled $50.0 million, or 76.4% of net revenue, an expansion of 10 basis points compared to the prior year.

    Net Loss for Q1 2025 was $20.7 million primarily driven by Depreciation and Financial charges. Non-recurring legal and advisory expenses totaled $1.5 million, continuing their decline from prior quarter.

    Adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 million, or 6.7% of net revenue. The year-over-year decline reflects sustained investments in sales and marketing, and G&A deleverage stemming from lower revenue.

    Liquidity: As previously announced, during Q1, Waldencast secured a new $205 million five-year credit facility, comprising a $175 million term loan and a $30 million revolving credit facility (“RCF”). This refinancing replaces the previous bank loans, enhances financial flexibility, and extends the Company’s debt maturity profile to March 2030, supporting long-term strategic priorities.

    As of March 31, 2025, the Company held $10.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $172.1 million in net debt, and approximately $22.5 million in available capacity under the RCF. The increase in net debt during the quarter is primarily due to refinancing-related costs. Cash consumption reflects lower Adjusted EBITDA and an inventory build-up to support expected sales growth in future quarters.

    Outstanding Shares: As of April 30, 2025, we had 123,011,239 ordinary shares outstanding, consisting of 112,644,711 Class A shares and 10,366,528 Class B shares. As of December 31, 2024, we had 122,692,968 ordinary shares outstanding, consisting of 112,026,440 Class A shares and 10,666,528 Class B shares.

    First Quarter 2025 Brand Highlights:

    Obagi Medical:

    • Net Revenue reached $36.2 million, up 7.1% from $33.8 million in Q1 2024.
    • Growth was fueled by continued strength in the direct-to-consumer channels. The benefits from transitioning to a first-party model with our primary e-commerce distributor have now fully annualized.
    • The Physician Dispense channel declined in the quarter, largely due to ongoing supply chain restructuring and temporary inventory constraints affecting key products, which limited sales during the quarter.
    • Adjusted Gross Margin of 82.0% increased 60 basis points from Q1 2024, supported by a favorable channel mix and lower promotional activity.
    • Adjusted EBITDA was $5.9 million, down 12.5% compared to Q1 2024. The Adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 370 basis points year-over-year to 16.3%, primarily due to higher marketing investments and increased supply chain costs aimed at supporting future growth.

    Milk Makeup:

    • As anticipated, Milk Makeup’s Net Revenue declined in the quarter. Net Revenue was $29.3 million, down 15.1% versus $34.5 million in Q1 2024. This result was a combination of cycling a very successful launch of Jellies in Q1 2024 and a significant reduction of retail inventory levels quarter-over-quarter.
    • Sales momentum accelerated in March, driven by the successful strategic launch of Hydro Grip Gel Tint, which significantly exceeded expectations and led to out of stocks.
    • The brand also expanded into Ulta Beauty during the quarter, with strong initial sell-out contributing to high single-digit growth in U.S. retail sales.
    • Adjusted Gross Margin declined by 180 basis points versus Q1 2024, mostly impacted by set-up costs for new retailers.
    • Adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.9%. The margin contraction was primarily driven by increased marketing investments and G&A deleverage resulting from lower sales.

    Fiscal 2025 Outlook:

    While mindful of the broader macroeconomic environment and assuming no further material changes to current tariffs, including the latest updates on China, we remain confident that our strategic initiatives position us well to deliver on our full-year guidance of mid-teens net revenue growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin in the mid-to-high teens.

    Given our high gross margin business model and limited reliance on Asian sourcing, we expect a limited increase in cost of goods with any necessary price adjustments (likely in the low-to-mid single digits) to offset the announced tariff scenario.

The information accessible on, or through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this release.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Waldencast separately reports financial results on the basis of the measures set out and defined below which are non-GAAP financial measures. Waldencast believes the non-GAAP measures used in this release provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. Waldencast believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures also provide perspective on how Waldencast’s management evaluates and monitors the performance of the business.

    There are limitations to non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in GAAP financial presentation. The items excluded from GAAP financial measures such as net income/loss to arrive at non-GAAP financial measures are significant components for understanding and assessing our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered together with, and not alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Please refer to definitions set out in the release and the tables included in this release for a reconciliation of these metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

    Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as GAAP gross profit excluding the impact of amortization of the supply agreement and formulation intangible assets, and the amortization of the fair value of the related party liability from the Obagi Medical China Business, which was not acquired by Waldencast at the time of the business combination with Obagi Medical and Milk Makeup (the “Business Combination”). The Adjusted Gross Profit reconciliation by Segment for each period is included in the Appendix.

    Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by GAAP Net Revenue.

    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income (loss) before interest income or expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the items as described in the reconciliation below. We believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses that are required to be presented in accordance with GAAP because management believes they are non-core to our regular business. These include non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, the amortization and release of fair value of the related party liability to the Obagi Medical China Business, change in fair value of assets and liabilities, and foreign currency translation loss (gain). In addition, adjustments include expenses that are not related to our underlying business performance including (1) legal, advisory and consultant fees related to the financial restatement of previously issued financial statements and associated regulatory investigation, and (2) other non-recurring costs, primarily legal settlement costs and restructuring costs. The Adjusted EBITDA by Segment for each period is included in the Appendix.

    Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin reconciliation by Segment for each period is included in the Appendix.

    • Fiscal Q3 production was 6,667 average barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”), with oil accounting for 52% of revenue, natural gas accounting for 35%, and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) accounting for 13% of revenue during the quarter.
    • Amid market volatility in fiscal Q3, the Company benefited from its diversified energy portfolio, as reflected by a 30% increase in Adjusted EBITDA(3) versus fiscal Q2.
    • Fiscal Q3 revenue rose 11% versus Fiscal Q2, largely driven by the strength of natural gas revenue, which increased 34% during the quarter.
    • $4.1 million returned to shareholders in the form of cash dividends during fiscal Q3, and $4.0 million of principal repaid on its Senior Secured Credit Facility.
    • Activities subsequent to quarter end:
      • Four gross new wells were brought online at the Chaveroo Field under budget, with early production rates exceeding expectations.
      • Closed the highly accretive $9.0 million acquisition of non-operated oil and natural gas assets located in New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana (the “TexMex” acquisition).
      • As of today, production adds from the four new gross Chaveroo wells and TexMex are contributing more than 850 net BOEPD to production.

    Kelly Loyd, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are maintaining our quarterly dividend at $0.12 per share for the twelfth consecutive quarter, underscoring our commitment to sustainable shareholder returns as well as our confidence in the strength of our asset base, even in a volatile commodity price environment.

    “Our third quarter results reflect the benefits of our balanced, long-life portfolio of producing assets that are capable of both flourishing in attractive price environments and withstanding cyclical lows. Despite weather and maintenance-related downtime, which affected production, we were able to more than meet all of our capital obligations during the quarter, including ~$8.5 million in dividend and capex payments, as well as repayment of $4.0 million of principal on our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

    “Subsequent to quarter end, we closed the TexMex acquisition and turned in-line our latest four Chaveroo wells. TexMex and the four new gross Chaveroo wells are currently contributing more than 850 net BOEPD to production. We also expect to benefit from recent and ongoing drilling activities in our SCOOP/STACK area. When combined with the strength in natural gas prices, these production additions are expected to meaningfully benefit our next fiscal quarter.

    Mr. Loyd concluded, “In coordination with our Chaveroo partner, we have agreed to delay the start of our third development block until later into our fiscal year 2026. Our current focus is on acquiring oil-weighted, low-decline producing properties at discounted prices, or natural gas properties which can be hedged favorably for years to come, while strategically deferring development of our high-value, oil-weighted locations, preserving value for our shareholders until oil market conditions improve. Maintaining our dividend is a top priority, and we believe our resilient portfolio and strong financial position will enable us to continue with our dividend program well into the future.”

    Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Total revenues decreased 2% to $22.6 million compared to $23.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline was driven primarily by an 8% decrease in production volumes, partially offset by a 7% increase in average realized commodity prices. The decrease in production volumes was primarily due to planned maintenance at the central facility and NGL plant downtime at Delhi Field, January winter weather impacts at Barnett Shale, as well as natural production declines, partially offset by additional production from the Company’s SCOOP/STACK properties acquired in February 2024.

    Lease operating costs (“LOE”) increased to $13.4 million compared to $12.6 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by CO2 purchases at Delhi Field, which resumed in October 2024 after being suspended in February 2024, coupled with a full quarter of the Company’s SCOOP/STACK properties acquired in February 2024, increasing lease operating costs by $0.5 million compared to the year-ago quarter. On a per unit basis, total LOE increased 16% to $22.32 per BOE compared to $19.24 per BOE in the year-ago quarter.

    Depletion, depreciation, and accretion expense was $5.0 million compared to $5.9 million in the year-ago period. On a per BOE basis, the Company’s current quarter depletion rate decreased to $7.68 per BOE compared to $8.43 per BOE in the year-ago period due to a decrease in its depletable base.

    General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, were $1.9 million for both the current and year-ago periods. On a per BOE basis, G&A expenses increased to $3.22 compared to $2.85 in the year-ago period. The increase per unit is the result of decreased production in the current period.

    The Company reported a net loss of $2.2 million or $(0.07) per share, compared to net income of $0.3 million or $0.01 per share in the year-ago period. Excluding the impact of unrealized losses, adjusted net income was $0.8 million or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $1.0 million or $0.03 per diluted share in the prior quarter.

    Adjusted EBITDA was $7.4 million compared to $8.5 million in the year-ago period. The decrease was primarily due to decreased revenue as a result of lower production and higher total operating costs due to CO2 purchases at Delhi Field, which resumed in October 2024 after being suspended in February 2024.

    Production & Pricing

    Average price per unit: Q3 2025   Q3 2024   % Change vs Q3/Q3
    Crude oil (BBL) $ 68.42     $ 73.06       (6) %
    Natural gas (MCF)   3.87       2.77       40 %
    Natural Gas Liquids (BBL)   32.28       25.26       28 %
    Equivalent (BOE)   37.60       35.10       7 %
                           

    Total production for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased 7.5% to 6,667 net BOEPD compared to 7,209 net BOEPD in the year-ago period. Total production for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 included 1,911 barrels per day (“BOPD”) of crude oil, 3,723 BOEPD of natural gas, and 1,033 BOEPD of NGLs. The decrease in total production was driven by planned maintenance at the central facility and NGL plant downtime at Delhi Field, January winter weather impacts at Barnett Shale, as well as natural production declines partially offset by additional production from the Company’s SCOOP/STACK properties acquired in February 2024. Total oil and natural gas liquids production generated 65% of revenue for the quarter compared to 75% in the year-ago period.

    The Company’s average realized commodity price (excluding the impact of derivative contracts) increased 7% to $37.60 per BOE, compared to $35.10 per BOE in the year-ago period. These increases were primarily driven by an increase of approximately 40% in realized natural gas prices year over year.

    Operations Update

    At SCOOP/STACK, the Company brought online 13 gross wells fiscal year-to-date, with an additional five wells in progress.

    At Chaveroo, the Company successfully completed and brought online four new gross wells in the second development block. These wells were completed on schedule and under budget. Although very early in the productive life of the wells, production rates are significantly exceeding expectations.

    In the Williston Basin, oil production was up quarter over quarter as a result of deferred oil sales at the end of Q2 to Q3. Gas and NGLs increased quarter over quarter, benefiting from a full quarter of gas sales. The Williston field continues to generate solid returns.

    At Delhi, production was temporarily affected by planned maintenance at the Delhi Central Facility, which resulted in a shutdown of the entire field for a few days and at the NGL Plant for approximately two weeks.  At the end of the quarter, the decision was made to switch from purchasing CO2 volumes to additional water injection.  The operator will continue to inject approximately 300 MMCFPD of recycled CO2.  The Company and the operator believe this will be the most economical way to run the field and will significantly reduce operating costs while maximizing cash flow.

    Jonah remained steady, with a temporary dip in volumes during February due to the impact of winter weather. However, strong winter natural gas pricing contributed positively to overall cash flow for the quarter.

    Barnett Shale delivered consistent cash-flow generation, reflecting its reliability and operational stability. Despite brief downtime in January due to winter storms, production remained steady overall, with improved realized pricing for natural gas and NGLs serving as a tailwind for financial results. These favorable pricing dynamics helped offset broader commodity price weakness and underscore Barnett’s continued role as a valuable contributor to our diversified portfolio.

    Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Capital Spending

    On March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.6 million, with a working capital deficit of $2.7 million primarily due to unrealized losses on current derivative contracts, which vary quarter-to-quarter based on forecasted commodity prices at the end of each quarter. Evolution had $35.5 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility and total liquidity of $20.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents. In Fiscal Q3, Evolution paid $4.1 million in common stock dividends, $4.0 million in repayments of borrowings of its Senior Secured Credit Facility, $1.8 million in deposits for its TexMex Acquisition, and $4.4 million in capital expenditures. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold a total of approximately 0.2 million shares of its common stock under its At-the-Market Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $1.1 million, after deducting less than $0.1 million in offering costs.

    The Company has received approval from its lender, MidFirst Bank, to extend the maturity of the existing Senior Secured Credit Facility to April 2028 and increase their total commitments from $50.0 million to $55.0 million. Also, the Company expects to receive $10.0 million in additional commitments from a new lender, Prism Bank, bringing the total commitments to $65.0 million.

    Cash Dividend on Common Stock

    On May 12, 2025, Evolution’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock, which will be paid on June 30, 2025, to common stockholders of record on June 13, 2025. This will be the 47th consecutive quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock since December 31, 2013. To date, Evolution has returned approximately $130.7 million, or $3.93 per share, back to stockholders in common stock dividends.

    Non-GAAP Reconciliation – Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)

    (In thousands)

    Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, and others, to assess our operating performance as compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical costs basis. We use these measures to assess our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share, excluding selected items, should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items in the same manner.

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion, and accretion (DD&A), stock-based compensation, ceiling test impairment, and other impairments, unrealized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives, and other non-recurring or non-cash expense (income) items.

  • MIL-OSI: Global Clean Energy, Inc. Launches Cogeneration Division and Enters Strategic Agreement with Axiom Energy and SolydEra

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HOUSTON, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Clean Energy, Inc. (OTC PINK: GCEI) today announced the formation of its Cogeneration Division, marking a significant milestone in its mission to deliver efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective energy solutions through its MicroUtility model.

    Cogeneration, or Combined Heat and Power (CHP), is a highly efficient process that simultaneously generates electricity and captures usable heat. GCEI’s MicroUtility installations use natural gas-powered engines to generate electricity, while harnessing waste heat to produce hot water, creating a dual-output system that delivers meaningful energy savings to customers. GCEI owns, installs, and maintains these cogeneration systems, offering end-users guaranteed savings under a shared-savings model. The end-user pays zero out of pocket expenses for the system yet benefits from immediate savings.

    To support this initiative, GCEI has finalized an exclusive consulting agreement with Axiom Energy Group, the manufacturer of a 4.4kw combined heat and power cogeneration system. These units can be modularly scaled up to 30kW, enabling deployment across a wide range of commercial and industrial settings.

    GCEI is currently in discussions with multiple facility operators, ranging from hotels and health clubs to industrial laundries, and manufacturing plants, to deploy Axiom-powered MicroUtilities at strategic locations throughout North America.

    As part of the agreement, GCEI has finalized an MOU to act as a North American Integrator for SolydEra’s Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) stack technology, which provides a low-emission, high-efficiency alternative to engine-based systems. SolydEra’s modular SOFC systems, capable of producing 100kW of electricity and heat, are expected to be market-ready within the next 12 months.

    GCEI will integrate American-made water purification and heat exchange components to complete the SolydEra subsystem offering, supporting its expansion into larger-scale installations of up to 200kW.

    “These strategic partnerships with Axiom Energy and SolydEra allow us to deliver scalable clean energy systems, from 4.4kW to 200kW, to provide hot water for pools or process, and electricity to industries across the continent,” said Steven Mann, CDO of Global Clean Energy, Inc. “With our MicroUtility model, customers will realize immediate electrical and natural gas cost savings while significantly reducing their carbon footprint with zero out of pocket expense.”

    “The collaboration with Global Clean Energy and SolydEra represents a pivotal step forward for all involved,” said James C. Green, President & CEO of Axiom Energy. “By integrating our high efficiency mCHP systems with SolydEra’s solid oxide fuel cell technology and Global Clean Energy’s MicroUtility platform, we are unlocking new opportunities for decarbonization and long-term growth. Together, the three companies are poised to deliver decentralized, low-emission energy solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications throughout North America. We look forward to working alongside such innovative partners to shape the future of sustainable energy.”  

    “We are enthusiastic about the partnership with Global Clean Energy, Inc. and Axiom Energy to bring our Solid Oxide Fuel Cell technology to North America,” said Alexander Liberov, CEO of SolydEra. “Our modular SOFC subsystems for CHPs offer a high-efficiency, low-emission alternative that complements GCEI’s innovative model. Together, we are paving the way for a sustainable energy future, providing reliable and scalable solutions that meet the energy needs of commercial and industrial sectors.”

  • MIL-OSI: ESS Launches the H.E.L.P.® Alert Network™ 

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HOUSTON, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Emergency Safety Solutions (ESS), a leader in modernizing roadway safety with advance warning technologies, today announced the launch of the H.E.L.P.® Alert Network™ — a breakthrough in real-time hazard communication. This vertically integrated, collaborative alerting and communications network delivers life-saving alerts and enhanced situational awareness, dramatically improving safety for all road users by overcoming the limitations of outdated hazard lights and fragmented connected vehicle technologies.

    “The H.E.L.P. Alert Network represents a groundbreaking leap forward in how we protect vulnerable vehicles and individuals on the road,” said Tim VanGoethem, ESS Chief Product Officer. “By empowering a broader community of vehicles and systems to communicate with each other in real time, we’re working with our customers and network partners to deliver critical, life-saving awareness precisely where – and when – it’s needed most.”

    The H.E.L.P. Alert Network collects, algorithmically calculates and distributes critical hazard data from connected vehicles, roadway work zones, fleet platforms and emergency systems — then delivers trusted, relevant information to navigation apps and in-vehicle displays with exceptional speed and accuracy.

    This system enables smarter decision-making across the entire roadway ecosystem, giving both human drivers and autonomous systems more time to react — and more accurate information to act on. 

    A Unified Network for Safer Roadways 

    The H.E.L.P. Alert Network includes three coordinated service pillars: 

    • Notification Partner Network: Vehicles, devices, and platforms that detect and transmit critical hazard data, including disabled and vulnerable vehicles equipped with ESS’ globally patented H.E.L.P.® Digital AlertsTM, work crew vehicles, commercial fleet vehicles, DOT and municipal infrastructure, emergency response vehicles, and wrong way drivers. 
    • Protect Partner Network: Calculates and then distributes accurate, relevant and timely location of roadway hazards to mobile and embedded navigation platforms, in-dash displays, mobile devices, and autonomous vehicle systems as real-time alerts so that approaching drivers can safely avoid them. 
    • Response Partner Network: Shares incident and event information with Traffic Management Centers, 9-1-1 providers, public safety networks and incident response platforms to facilitate faster, more informed emergency response in situations where every second matters. 

    With its patented safety technologies now deployed in market, ESS is expanding H.E.L.P. and actively bidding projects with commercial fleets, Department of Transportation fleets, OEMs and beyond – advancing public safety and extending protection across America’s roadways.

    Innovation Where It Counts 

    ESS’s H.E.L.P. safety features are redefining hazard communication for the modern roadway, replacing outdated systems that fail to keep pace with today’s transportation systems. 

    • H.E.L.P.® Lighting Alerts: High-visibility flash pattern dramatically increases visibility of stationary and vulnerable vehicles – proven to induce behavior change in oncoming drivers by prompting them to slow down and move over. 
    • H.E.L.P.® Digital Alerts: Disabled and vulnerable vehicle alerts that are delivered to oncoming motorists via mobile navigation applications and in-cabin displays to warn approaching drivers of potentials dangers ahead. 

    These connected vehicle features work together to enhance situational awareness, reduce collisions, and increase protection for not just drivers – but also passengers, pedestrians and roadside workers alike.  

    Advantages for OEMs, Fleets, Public Safety and Beyond 

    The H.E.L.P. Alert Network offers flexible deployment models tailored to the distinct needs of each customer segment ESS serves — including passenger and commercial vehicle OEMs, commercial fleets, emergency response teams, roadway work crews, and partners in connected infrastructure and communications.  

    With several leading automotive OEMs, commercial fleets and state DOT fleets already using ESS’ safety features as well as a rapidly growing roster of network partners, the H.E.L.P. Alert Network is connecting people, vehicles and infrastructure to save lives. 

    About ESS 

    Emergency Safety Solutions (ESS) is a certified minority-owned company revolutionizing roadway safety through its patented H.E.L.P.® technologies. ESS delivers advanced lighting and real-time digital alerts as advance warnings to protect vulnerable passenger and commercial vehicles, emergency responders, and roadway workers. With the launch of the H.E.L.P. Alert Network™, ESS is building a globally connected roadway safety community that helps prevent crashes and save lives. Learn more at www.ess-help.com

  • MIL-OSI: Jeffersonville Bancorp Announces First Quarter Earnings of $2,718,000 or $0.64 per share; Declares Dividend of $0.15

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    JEFFERSONVILLE, N.Y., May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jeffersonville Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB – JFBC) announced today first quarter net income of $2,718,000 or $0.64 per share compared to $2,553,000 or $0.60 per share for the same quarter in 2024. The increase in quarterly net income compared to 2024 of $165,000 was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $621,000, an increase in loan interest and fees of $328,000, and an increase in non-interest income of $102,000. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in other interest income of $666,000, an increase in tax expense of $46,000, in salaries and employee benefits of $43,000, and in other non-interest expense of $33,000.

    “The Company retired all wholesale funding by the end of 2024, reducing forward interest expense from already low levels.” said George W. Kinne, Jr., President and CEO, “Strong loan growth in the first quarter partially offset lower rates on funds held at the Federal Reserve and some planned runoff of securities. With economic uncertainty expected to continue in the near term, we are comfortable with our balance sheet continuing to be very liquid.”

    A cash dividend in the amount of fifteen cents ($0.15) per share on the common stock of the company was declared at the May 13, 2025 meeting of the Board of Directors. The dividend is payable on June 5, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 27, 2025.

    Jeffersonville Bancorp is a one-bank holding company, which owns all the capital stock of Jeff Bank. Jeff Bank maintains ten full-service branches in Sullivan and Orange County, New York located in Anawana Lake Road/Monticello, Eldred, Callicoon, Jeffersonville, Liberty, Livingston Manor, Monticello, Port Jervis, White Lake, and Wurtsboro.

Prepared remarks during the conference call of Rory J. Cutaia, the Company’s Chairman & CEO, are provided below.

    Management Prepared Remarks

    VERB 2025 First Quarter Financial Results Conference Call

    Tuesday, May 13, 2025, 1 p.m. ET

    Company Participant
    Rory J. Cutaia, CEO

    Operator:

    Good afternoon and welcome to the first quarter 2025 Financial Results Conference Call for Verb Technology Company, Inc. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Please be advised, the call is being recorded at the Company’s request.

    On our call today is Rory J. Cutaia, Verb’s Founder, Chairman and CEO.

    Before we begin, I’d like to remind everyone that statements made during this conference call will include forward-looking statements under the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties that can cause actual results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, except as required by law, as the underlying facts and circumstances may change. Verb Technology Company disclaims any obligations to update these forward-looking statements, as well as those contained in the Company’s current and subsequent filings with the SEC.

    I would now like to turn the call over to Rory J. Cutaia, CEO. Rory?

    Rory:

    Thank you moderator, and thanks to everyone for joining us today for our first quarter 2025 financial results and business update conference call.

    So for those of you who have reviewed our 10-Q filed this morning or the summarized results in the press release we issued this morning – well – you already know – right – you know the Company is firing on all cylinders – I’m talking about a 12 cylinder finely tuned exotic sports roadster – yeah – we had a crazy good quarter. This is the VERB we’ve envisioned – this is the VERB we’ve manifested and this is the VERB we have worked so hard to deliver. And the best part – the really best part – is this is just the beginning.

    I’ve got to hand it to my management team – they never stopped believing – through all the trials and tribulations – and we’ve had more than our share – they stuck it out with me – we drew strength from one another – and no matter what – we never gave up. I appreciate them all so very much – and our amazing Board of Directors – and now that we’ve begun to hit our stride – they’re all feeling it – they know where we’re taking this vehicle – and for those of you listening to this who have stuck it out with us and for those of you thinking about joining us – from here on out, it’s going to be a fun ride.

    We’re cashed-up, zero debt – insanely under-valued – and each VERB division is performing very, very well.

    I’m not going to take your time reading the 10-Q or reiterating everything we discussed about the Company just 6 weeks or so ago when we reported our 2024 results – but I will definitely enjoy sharing some of our team’s accomplishments in the first 3 months of this year.

    Let’s start with revenue – but first let me provide some context:

    In Q1 of 2024 we reported revenue of just $7,000; In Q4 of 2024 we reported revenue of $723,000 – definitely a great quarter and the first full quarter after we instituted a number of changes to our business model – and for the entirety of 2024 – we reported a total of $895,000.

    But in Q1 of 2025 we reported $1.3 Million – that’s 80% revenue growth over the prior quarter and approximately 46% growth over all 4 quarters of revenue of 2024 combined.

    And while we were busy signing and launching a plethora of new clients, we identified what we believe is the hottest AI social commerce technology company in the market and negotiated the terms of an $8.5 Million cash and stock acquisition, signed a comprehensive term sheet, and then rapidly drove the deal to a closing – all while actively integrating their AI technology into our own platform.

    We used about $4.2 Million in cash closing the acquisition – but I liked having a robust – zero debt – cashed-up balance sheet – so being an opportunist we identified a funding opportunity with extraordinary – shareholder friendly terms – negotiated it, documented it and closed it. A non-dilutive, non-convertible, non-voting, preferred stock deal with just a 9% annual dividend – and with that we added $5 Million back onto the balance sheet.

    This deal is with a trusted financial partner with whom we’ve now done several very successful deals. I do feel sorry for other companies doing terrible – horrible financings – steep discounts to market price, pre-funded warrants, triple warrant coverage – decimating cap tables and rendering many of these companies unfinanceable going forward who ultimately get shorted into oblivion. You see it every day. Tough times for a lot of companies and I’m very grateful that we’re in such a strong cash position and we’ve been able to maintain a super clean cap table – no warrant overhang and a very tight float and obviously not desperate to find a source of capital.

    In fact, with our cash on hand, no debt, and growing revenue across all business units, we expect to be able fund operations easily into 2028 and beyond.

    As to the growth behind MARKET.live, we’ve signed many very high profile clients and continue to do so. I’ve been asked why we aren’t announcing them – which we’d have to do multiple times a month – but the answer is most of these deals are where we’re white labeling our platform for these well-known brands and our contract prohibits us from announcing the names. I wish I could – if I could, I doubt our stock would still be trading for 50% of our net cash – with zero value given for all our business units – it’s crazy – just crazy.

    I’ve also been asked why we don’t see as many livestreams from MARKET.live as we used to and that’s because our new technology allows us to stream directly from our clients’ own websites and multicast their streams across multiple social media channels simultaneously. This is really the killer app, drawing so many more clients, because it allows these brands to own the customer relationship while still streaming over other social platforms. We’re also seeing strong, strong growth in shoppable ads, among many other areas of our MARKET.live and now Lyvecom business units.

    Our telehealth platforms, VanityPrescribed and GoodGirlRX continue to grow month over month adding recurring subscription-based revenue. And our Go Fund Yourself, crowd funding TV show is developing an almost cult-like following and more and more issuers are applying to be on the show, forcing us to become much more selective, and to accommodate the demand we’re now shooting multiple episodes twice a month. Issuers pay to be on the show. We’re about to launch Season 2 on Cheddar.

    In closing, I refer you to our Form 10-Q filed today for greater details concerning our Q1 2025 financial results as well as the press release distributed today summarizing those results for additional information I’ve not covered in my conference call today.

    So thank you for your interest in VERB and for taking the time to listen to our Q1 2025 financial results. I presume you can tell how excited we are about the business – really excited – and oh yes – I do indeed expect Q2 results to be even better than this Q1 – so stand by.

    Operator: This concludes the conference call. You may now disconnect.

  • MIL-OSI: Atlantic American Corporation Reports First Quarter Results for 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ATLANTA, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Atlantic American Corporation (Nasdaq- AAME) today reported net income of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025 compared to net loss of ($2.0) million, or ($0.10) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net income for the first quarter of 2025 was primarily the result of an increase in premium revenue and favorable loss experience in the Company’s life and health operations. Premium revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2025 increased $2.4 million, or 5.3%, to $46.9 million from $44.6 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2024.

    The Company reported operating income (as defined below) of $0.3 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2025 compared to operating loss of ($2.4) million in the three month period ended March 31, 2024. The increase in operating income was primarily due to an increase in premium revenue and favorable loss experience in the Company’s life and health operations, as previously mentioned.

    Commenting on the results, Hilton H. Howell, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to report strong quarterly results, highlighted by improved profitability and solid growth in insurance premiums. New business momentum within our life and health segments remains robust, reinforcing our confidence in the Company’s long-term growth trajectory. While our property and casualty operations faced elevated losses this quarter, we expect recent rate adjustments to begin positively impacting results in the coming periods. Looking ahead, we see significant opportunities and remain confident in our outlook for the remainder of 2025.”

    Atlantic American Corporation is an insurance holding company involved through its subsidiary companies in specialty markets of the life, health, and property and casualty insurance industries. Its principal insurance subsidiaries are American Southern Insurance Company, American Safety Insurance Company, Bankers Fidelity Life Insurance Company, Bankers Fidelity Assurance Company and Atlantic Capital Life Assurance Company.

    Note regarding non-GAAP financial measure: Atlantic American Corporation presents its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, from time to time, the Company may present, in its public statements, press releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, non-GAAP financial measures such as operating income (loss). We define operating income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding: (i) income tax expense (benefit); (ii) realized investment (gains) losses, net; and (iii) unrealized (gains) losses on equity securities, net. Management believes operating income (loss) is a useful metric for investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others because it isolates the “core” operating results of the Company before considering certain items that are either beyond the control of management (such as income tax expense (benefit), which is subject to timing, regulatory and rate changes depending on the timing of the associated revenues and expenses) or are not expected to regularly impact the Company’s operating results (such as any realized and unrealized investment gains (losses), which are not a part of the Company’s primary operations and are, to a limited extent, subject to discretion in terms of timing of realization). The financial data attached includes a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company’s definition of operating income (loss) may differ from similarly titled financial measures used by others.

  • MIL-OSI: BitLyft AIR Launches Seamless Graylog Integration to Supercharge Cloud Identity Security with True No-Code Response

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ST. JOHN’S, Mich., May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitLyft, a leading managed detection and response provider (MDR) offering a holistic defense approach, announces the launch of a powerful new integration between BitLyft AIR® and Graylog, delivering unprecedented visibility and automated response capabilities within an existing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) environment. Graylog is a powerful SIEM solution offering a robust log analytics platform that simplifies the collection, search, analysis, and alerting of all types of machine-generated data. The new Graylog Integration in BitLyft AIR introduces native Graylog Dashboards inside the platform, giving security teams instant access to real-time alert data, enabled and disabled event definitions, and the ability to take immediate action without leaving the BitLyft AIR platform.

    “BitLyft AIR is built with a focused belief that automation should be accessible,” says Jason Miller, CEO and Founder of BitLyft. “Our Graylog integration is the next step in helping security teams eliminate alert fatigue and respond faster where it matters most: in their identity and collaboration platforms.”

    Map, Monitor, Mitigate — All Without Code

    Security practitioners can now map Graylog Event Definitions to BitLyft AIR’s pre-built Automated Incident Response workflows. This enables instant containment and remediation of user compromises, business email compromises, and more the moment alerts trigger. Unlike traditional platforms that require a working knowledge of REST APIs or scripting, BitLyft AIR delivers a true no-code experience, empowering analysts of all skill levels to deploy effective responses across their environment in seconds.

    Targeted Remediation for Where Attacks Begin with Users

    BitLyft AIR offers a deep library of pre-built remediation actions and playbooks tailored specifically for the cloud and identity platforms most often targeted in modern attacks, including:

    • Microsoft 365
    • Google Workspace
    • Okta
    • Duo Security
    • OneLogin

    By focusing exclusively on the services that govern user access, email, and identity — the frontline of enterprise security — BitLyft AIR delivers maximum impact with minimal configuration.

    No Developers Needed. No APIs to Learn. Just Secure Outcomes.

    Where other incident response tools bog teams down with complex connectors and API calls, BitLyft AIR delivers an enterprise-ready experience that puts response automation directly into the hands of the SOC without any scripting or engineering overhead. With the new Graylog Integration, BitLyft AIR becomes an even more powerful force multiplier — closing the loop between detection and resolution in one streamlined platform.

    About BitLyft

    BitLyft enables utilities and corporations to meet regulatory and audit mandates for SOC2 Compliance. The venture’s managed detection and response (MDR) services with an Automated Incident Response (AIR) platform can be implemented cost-effectively and quickly. Prioritizing tech-powered yet high-touch cybersecurity solutions creates a holistic defense, giving clients unwavering confidence; BitLyft staff pledge to prioritize and protect every client.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SANTA CLARA, Calif. and RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and HUMAIN, Saudi Arabia’s new AI enterprise, today announced a landmark agreement to build the world’s most open, scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient AI infrastructure, that will power the future of global intelligence through a network of AMD-based AI computing centers stretching from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United States.

    As part of the agreement, the parties will invest up to $10B to deploy 500 megawatts of AI compute capacity over the next five years.

  • MIL-OSI: Not so fast! Northwest drivers say they drive safely in neighborhoods – but point fingers at other speeders

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SEATTLE, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new poll from PEMCO Mutual Insurance recently found that a majority of Pacific Northwest drivers say they abide by the appropriate speed limit on residential neighborhood streets – but they’re far less convinced that others share the same caution.

    PEMCO’s poll of Washington and Oregon residents found that 87% of drivers believe the speed limit on residential streets should be 25 mph or lower, and most (80%) say they drive the appropriate speed often. Yet, only 30% believe other drivers often abide by the appropriate neighborhood speed limit.

    “Most drivers genuinely believe they’re making safe choices, especially in neighborhoods. But we also see that people are quick to notice when others fall short,” said PEMCO spokesperson Jennifer Hawton. “That gap between what we think and what we see is a great reminder to stay alert and consistent behind the wheel to prevent accidents.”

    While most poll respondents share concern for driving safely in neighborhoods, speeding in general remains a widespread behavior among Northwest drivers. In fact, 59% of respondents admit they speed at least occasionally, with 22% saying they do so often – suggesting that speeding is a habit most drivers can’t resist.

    What’s more, nearly three out of four drivers (72%) believe in a so-called “buffer speed” – the belief that law enforcement won’t pull them over unless they’re significantly over the limit. Most assume that buffer is between five and nine miles per hour, but 12% believe they can go 10 mph or more over the limit without consequence.

    So, why do people speed? The top reason, cited by 66% of drivers, is that “everyone else is doing it,” according to the PEMCO Poll.

    “We’ve polled drivers on speeding in the past, and there appears to be a consistent disconnect between what drivers believe they can get away with and the actual risks they pose,” Hawton said. “Whether you’re on the freeway or driving through your neighborhood, speed matters, and slowing down can save lives.”

    About the PEMCO Insurance Northwest Poll

    PEMCO Mutual Insurance commissioned this independent survey, conducted by Qualtrics, that asked Washington and Oregon residents questions about attitudes toward current Northwest issues. The sample size, 420 respondents in the Seattle Metro (King, Snohomish, Pierce Counties) region, 402 respondents in the Portland Metro (Multnomah, Marion, Clackamas, Washington Counties), and 383 respondents in the Spokane area (Spokane and Stevens Counties) yields an accuracy of +/- 5.0% respectively at the 95% confidence level. In other words, if this study were conducted 100 times, in 95 instances the data will not vary by more than the associated error range.

  • MIL-OSI: U.S. Ski & Snowboard, Stifel Extend Groundbreaking Title Partnership Through 2034

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PARK CITY, Utah and ST. LOUIS, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) are proud to announce a landmark renewal of their partnership from May 2026 through April 2034. This unprecedented 8-year agreement marks the most expansive partnership in U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s history and reflects a bold, shared vision through the next three Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

    Under the renewed agreement, Stifel will be the title partner of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, supporting the alpine, cross country, freeski, moguls, aerials, ski jumping, nordic combined and Para alpine teams, as well as the exclusive financial services partner of U.S. Ski & Snowboard.

    “As we look ahead to three Olympic and Paralympic Games, including a home Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 Games, this extended partnership with Stifel represents a generational investment in our teams and our athletes,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “Stifel’s support has also enabled us to implement innovative new initiatives that are having a direct impact on the organization. From World Cup podiums to grassroots development, Stifel’s belief in the power of sport and our athletes has been a game-changer.”

    Since launching the partnership in 2022, Stifel’s support of U.S. Ski & Snowboard has driven record-breaking performances, increased the visibility of U.S. athletes and fueled the growth of competitive skiing in the U.S. Over the initial three years of partnership, the Stifel U.S. Ski Team has achieved historic success both athletically and as an organization.

    Organizationally, U.S. Ski & Snowboard has expanded its World Cup footprint in North America with the support of Stifel, bringing the total amount of World Cups from four to a record 11 in 2024-25. In the same season, the organization’s streaming and broadcast audience has doubled, earned media surpassed 30 billion impressions and social media impressions increased 70%.

    2024 was also a record-breaking year for Stifel, highlighting the strength and balance of a diversified business model, achieving net revenues of $4.97 billion, the highest in the firm’s history, and delivering a 23% return on average tangible equity, with non-GAAP net earnings of $756 million, or $6.81 per share – a 46% increase from the prior year. And finally, over the year, Stifel’s share price increased 56.4%.

    The news of Stifel’s renewal as title sponsor of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team is so incredible,” said two-time Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin. “Ron (Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO of Stifel) and Stifel have shown amazing support for snow sports and are truly invested in the stories of our athletes and the growth of our sports, which has translated into more success on the mountain.”

    “Stifel has opened up so many opportunities for us as athletes and humans looking to reach our full potential, and I am so grateful for their support and proud to be part of their team,” said Olympic champion cross country skier Jessie Diggins. “Their commitment to helping us reach the top level is incredible and makes all the difference!”

    “The Stifel U.S. Ski Team partnership continuation is monumental for both parties,” said two-time Olympic medalist freeskier Alex Ferreira. “It is where success meets success. I am humbled and grateful to benefit from all sides.”

    Stifel also launched innovative programs around the increased domestic World Cup events, including the Stifel HERoic Cup, designed around U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s HERoic initiative celebrating women’s sport. Stifel also invested in the Stifel Bibbo Award for the athlete who moves up the most in ranks in alpine World Cup races, and continues to support the Stifel Success Tour, development-level NorAm races in the U.S. that feed the Stifel U.S. Ski Team pipeline. Additionally, Stifel supported the Stifel Snow Show, a weekly series on CNBC, Peacock and YouTube that highlighted the achievements and stories of U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes each week throughout the season.

    The Stifel brand will remain prominently displayed on team uniforms and event signage at US events, along with a continuation of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team branding across digital and broadcast platforms. Stifel will also support a new performance bonus program for athletes and coaches based on key results during the season.

    “This partnership is about helping athletes reach their full potential,” said Ron Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO of Stifel. “As the firm Where Success Meets Success, we believe in backing those who strive for excellence—and that’s exactly what these athletes do, every day. We’re proud to support them not only as champions on the podium, but as role models, teammates and leaders who inspire us all.”
