  • MIL-OSI: Cerence AI and MediaTek Partner to Introduce Multi-Modal Language Models Running on the Edge, Built on NVIDIA

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SHANGHAI and BURLINGTON, Mass., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Just ahead of Auto Shanghai 2025, Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC) (“Cerence AI”), a global leader pioneering conversational AI-powered user experiences, today announced a new partnership with MediaTek and expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to deliver the next generation of CaLLM™ Edge, its embedded small language model (SLM) purpose-built for automotive user experiences. With new multi-modal capabilities powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, CaLLM Edge will now make in-car interactions smarter, more perceptive, more human, far safer and more secure than ever. This multi-modal edge SLM is seamlessly integrated into Cerence xUI™, the company’s hybrid cloud/embedded agentic AI platform, and will be showcased for the first time at Auto Shanghai 2025.

    Today’s announcement stems from an ongoing collaboration between MediaTek and NVIDIA, with MediaTek’s automotive-grade Dimensity Auto Cockpit chipsets integrating NVIDIA’s GPU, AI, and graphics technologies. Now, the companies have teamed with Cerence AI on a multi-modal edge solution that delivers top performance and cost efficiency for automakers and unlocks powerful new features for drivers and passengers. Leveraging MediaTek’s automotive cockpit solution and optimized first on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX, CaLLM Edge’s advanced multi-modal capabilities are fine-tuned for in-vehicle deployment and high efficiency via a dual processing platform, delivering a new level of contextual awareness – both inside and outside the vehicle.

    Auto Shanghai marks the first public demonstration of Cerence xUI running on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX, integrated into a production-ready automotive reference design that replicates a real car’s multi-seat environment, enabling seamless, personalized interaction for drivers and passengers alike. Key innovations include:

    • Increased intelligence inside the car – Imagine your car knows when you’re talking to it – and when you’re not. You could ask for recommendations for Italian restaurants, then ask your passenger: “What about the second one?” – and the assistant knows to wait to jump back into the conversation. Plus, the assistant can take direction from driver and passengers at the same time – for example, “Open my window,” followed by “Same for me.” Or, imagine your car can keep an eye on your pet while you run a short errand, or, while you’re driving, answer questions about how your toddler is doing in the back seat.
    • Additional context from outside the car – Imagine an assistant that provides information about not only what is inside the vehicle, but also in the world outside. For example, it can explain or translate road signs, identify roadside buildings, and even offer details about something interesting spotted on a billboard. Cerence xUI can leverage car sensor data and both interior and exterior camera feeds in combination with the CaLLM Edge multi-modal SLM, enabling streaming input on the edge – all of which will be shown for the first time at Auto Shanghai.
    • Smart guardrailing on the edge – Cerence AI has developed automotive guardrails optimized for NVIDIA DRIVE AGX, helping ensure Cerence-powered systems can safely and reliably handle the nuances of brand-specific in-car interaction, even in conditions with limited connectivity. As part of its comprehensive hybrid architecture, Cerence AI will be delivering this embedded guardrail with NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails, both to complement its cloud variant as well as help minimize distractions, prevent misuse, and ensure voice interactions stay context-aware and compliant with safety norms.

    Beyond these new capabilities for drivers, CaLLM Edge also offers key benefits for automakers. The heavy lifting of the multi-modal processing happens at the edge, meaning less cloud bandwidth required and reduced costs for OEMs. In addition, enabling drivers to access information outside the car and delivering advanced, generative AI-powered features unlocks new subscription-based services and revenue streams for OEMs.

    “As we continue to push the limits of our CaLLM family of cloud and embedded language models, we continue to improve our ability to meet the needs of a wide variety of automakers and their specific infotainment platforms,” said Nils Schanz, EVP, Product & Technology, Cerence AI. “By teaming with MediaTek and NVIDIA, we’ve supercharged CaLLM Edge with real-time perception and contextual awareness that redefines the in-vehicle experience.”

    “The combination of Cerence’s CaLLM Edge with MediaTek Dimensity Auto platforms creates an incredible foundation for powerful multi-modal, generative AI-driven experiences in vehicles,” said Mike Chang, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Automotive Business of MediaTek. “MediaTek Dimensity Auto supports both Cerence’s LLM and SLM on the edge, and our new C-X1 featuring dual AI engines is ideal for the task of reliably running multiple AI tasks simultaneously. This partnership is a key addition to our automotive ecosystem and will enable global automotive brands to accelerate their next-generation designs in confidence.”

    “Cerence’s collaboration with MediaTek builds on the company’s work to deploy NVIDIA AI and accelerated compute to improve the overall in-vehicle experience,” said Rishi Dhall, Vice President of Automotive at NVIDIA. “The work now gives automakers greater control to customize voice experiences, and our work to integrate NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails at the edge has the power to set a new industry benchmark in the evolution of safe, scalable in-car AI.”

    Cerence AI will demonstrate its offering with MediaTek and NVIDIA at Auto Shanghai, taking place April 23-May 2. Interested attendees can experience Cerence xUI in action in Hall 8.2, booth number 8BD002. The solution will also be shown at MediaTek’s booth, also in Hall 8.2, at booth number 8BE006.

  • MIL-OSI: Cloudbrink Supercharges Work from Anywhere with High-Performance ZTNA in LATAM, Korea, and Africa Through Strategic Channel Expansion

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cloudbrink, a leader in high-performance secure connectivity, today announced further global expansion through strategic channel agreements and a new in-country office in Brazil. Cloudbrink strengthened its commitment to partner-led ZTNA growth by signing exclusive Korea partner WITHX, a LATAM distribution agreement with partner BAMM Technologies, and African distribution via OneTic.

    “Cloudbrink solves the last-mile latency and reliability issues that channel partners in LATAM, Africa, and APAC face on a regular basis,” said Mark Craven, Channel Chief for Cloudbrink. “We are committed to a channel-first distribution strategy because for Cloudbrink it isn’t just about geographic expansion. It’s about enabling remote and hybrid workforces in regions that have been underserved by legacy solutions. Our goal is to bring world-class performance to emerging markets through the channel, not around it.”

    Game-changing performance that scales globally

    Cloudbrink’s new partnerships bring game-changing edge performance and security to global markets where infrastructure is a bottleneck. As announced today, Cloudbrink has achieved industry-leading SASE performance, providing its partners and their customers with a per-datacenter capacity of 300 Gbps and per-user throughput of 1 Gbps.

    Deploying and expanding traditional physical Points of Presence (PoPs) can be a time-intensive process, often taking several months or weeks to complete or sometimes years.

    LATAM and Africa expansion

    Cloudbrink’s expansion into Africa and Latin America are anchored by two partnerships, and a new physical presence in Brazil. Cloudbrink’s distribution agreement with OneTic Africa empowers African businesses to embrace digital transformation and compete on a global scale. In Latin America the increasing demand for secure connectivity is strong enough to support the company’s new office in Osasco, Sao Paulo in Brazil, as well as its new distribution partner, BAMM Technologies.

    The new partnerships enable regional VARs, MSPs, and SIs to capitalize on Cloudbrink’s differentiated AI-powered ZTNA platform — addressing performance gaps in hybrid work environments, especially where traditional VPNs and SD-WANs struggle. Cloudbrink’s differentiated ZTNA + performance optimization technology enables partners to offer a solution that brings healthy margins, recurring revenue, and the potential for additional services such as managed access, onboarding, and optimization.

    “By working with regional distributors, we’re not just shipping software — we’re delivering a local experience that scales globally,” Craven added.

  • MIL-OSI: Feedonomics Simplifies First-Party Selling for Large Brands, Manufacturers and Distributors with New Amazon Vendor Central Integration

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    AUSTIN, Texas, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Feedonomics, part of the BigCommerce family of brands and a market leader in product feed management for ecommerce businesses, today announced its new integration with Amazon Vendor Central, expanding its comprehensive solutions for B2B clients and enterprise brands.

    Commonly used by large brands, manufacturers and distributors that want to optimize sales through a direct relationship with Amazon, Vendor Central is the ecommerce giant’s platform for first-party (1P) sellers to supply their products directly to Amazon, which then sells them to customers as a retailer.

    Feedonomics customers can now tap into Amazon’s powerful fulfillment network, offering shoppers fast and reliable delivery through Prime eligibility. Products gain increased visibility with enhanced placements and the trusted “Ships from and Sold by Amazon” badge, which helps build customer confidence and drive higher conversion rates. This opens the door to greater brand recognition, stronger loyalty and sustainable growth for first-party sellers.

    “Feedonomics’ direct integration with Amazon Vendor Central creates efficiency gains for sellers who can now eliminate manual processes and reduce time spent managing catalog data,” said Sharon Gee, senior vice president and general manager at Feedonomics. “Large brands, manufacturers and distributors are empowered to manage data syndication across their Amazon catalog at scale, ensuring faster updates and more accurate listings. This is a game changer for large brands, manufacturers and distributors looking to take advantage of all the benefits that selling on Amazon brings.”

    The new integration connects directly to Amazon APIs, automating product data management. This eliminates the time-consuming and error-prone process of using Vendor Central UI and spreadsheets, simplifies the Amazon integration for existing Feedonomics clients, enables faster product launches and updates and streamlines operations for 1P-focused brands.

    Sellers best positioned to benefit from the Feedonomics integration with Amazon 1P include:

    • Enterprise brands: Brands, manufacturers and distributors already selling to Amazon 1P via Vendor Central, who want to streamline their product data management processes.
    • Advertisers: Existing Feedonomics clients who sell on Amazon Vendor Central will benefit from a streamlined onboarding
    • Data-heavy businesses: Companies with extensive product catalogs that require efficient, automated and scalable tools for syndication.

    To use the new integration, companies must be an Amazon vendor with a Vendor Central account and supply Feedonomics with the full product catalog data required for listings.

  • MIL-OSI: Cloudbrink Leads the Way in SASE Performance with Per-Datacenter Capacity of 300 Gbps and Per-User Throughput of 1 Gbps

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cloudbrink, a leader in high-performance secure connectivity, today announced that its award-winning solution provides industry-leading performance that meets the rigorous performance demands of game development and creative content industries, as well as the large data transfer requirements of large IT and QA teams.

    “Cloudbrink is committed to providing the industry’s best and highest performing solution,” said Prakash Mana, CEO of Cloudbrink. “Our goal is to enable hybrid work at scale. That means supporting users that are doing everything from developing graphics-intensive video games, to holding high-attendance video conferences, to running systems backup over our service. We put a priority on innovation and we are constantly pushing the envelope to provide application performance that no one can match.”

    SASE-Leading Capacity and Performance Through Innovation

    Unique Cloudbrink innovations have pushed the solution to the leading edge of performance, while maintaining the security of ZTNA, simplicity of management, all at a lower cost. Cloudbrink delivers the following high performance features for all Cloudbrink customers:

    • 300 Gbps per-datacenter capacity – Using a unique horizontal scaling of connector components, Cloudbrink provides an industry-leading per-datacentre capacity of 300 Gbps throughput without networking or firewall changes. This agile method of scaling datacenter capacity with only software-based virtual machines is achieved with Active-Active Connector support for on-prem deployments that can be deployed on any hypervisors. The Connectors can be grouped as one logical entity to provide higher capacity. Cloudbrink supports adding up to 64 Connector instances in Active-Active mode in one logical Connector entity.
    • Per-User Throughput of 1Gbps – Unlike most ZTNA solutions, Cloudbrink can fully utilize a 1Gbps ISP link to meet the rigorous requirements of Fortune 100 customers in the game development and creative content industries that need to access highly immersive content from anywhere.
    • 8TB per day per user data transfer – Cloudbrink can support high-data transfer scenarios where users need consistent and high throughput performance. For example, IT and large QA teams that need to transfer backups of critical app-data, or users that utilize cache farming apps on the endpoint which are constantly accessing data from the central repositories hosted inside the datacenter
    • Adaptive Last-Mile Optimization for the lowest latency – Cloudbrink leverages advanced optimization techniques, including preemptive and accelerated packet recovery, to adapt to dynamic network conditions. This ensures a seamless and dependable user experience on enterprise applications, even in scenarios of high packet loss or fluctuating bandwidth.

    “No vendor in the market today comes close to the throughput capacity that Cloudbrink can support,” adds Mana. “Customers who need higher capacity are traditionally pressed to purchase additional hardware gateways, and are required to manage them separately to meet the capacity requirements of 10Gbps. With Cloudbrink, customers can eliminate unneeded overhead and infrastructure and get the highest performance in the business.”

  • MIL-OSI: CapEx Finance Index (CFI) March 2025: New Business Volumes Grew; Financial Conditions Weakened

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WASHINGTON, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    • FORECAST: Growth in new business volumes suggests a 1.5% rise in new durable goods orders in March.
    • Total new business volume (NBV) rose by $10.4 billion seasonally adjusted among surveyed ELFA member companies, an increase of 7.0% from the prior month.
    • NBV year-to-date contracted by 0.8% relative to the same period in 2024.
    • Year-over-year, NBV grew by 9.8% on a non-seasonally adjusted basis.
    • Charge-offs (losses) rose to 0.60%, the highest level since September 2020.

    “The CFI sent conflicting messages in March. New equipment demand rose for the second consecutive month and was in line with its recent two-year trend,” said Leigh Lytle, President and CEO at ELFA. “However, financial conditions weakened, with aging receivables increasing and the average loss rate rising to its highest level in nearly five years. Economic uncertainty remains exceptionally elevated, and the rise in charge-offs may be an early indication that end-users are experiencing financial stress. The strength in equipment demand should not be understated – the sector is on solid ground – but I’ll be watching the financial data closely for signs of further deterioration as we enter what is expected to be a volatile spring and summer.”

    New business volumes rose for the second consecutive month. Volumes continued to make up ground after a disappointing start to the year. New business activity grew by 7.0%, the third-highest growth rate in the last two years. The small ticket index shot up by 21.7%, surpassing the hot February rate of 15.9%. Financing activity picked up across institution types, with banks and captives posting double-digit monthly growth rates, while activity at independents expanded by just over 2%. Volume growth at banks surged over the last 12 months, reaching a yearly growth rate of 32.3%. Activity at captives and independents shrank over the same period.

    The pace of job losses quickened. Employment levels in the equipment financing industry dropped 2.7% over the 12 months ending in March. Job losses were broad-based, with all three institution types reporting a yearly contraction in employment.

    Credit approvals rose to the highest level since August 2024. The overall credit approval rate rose to 76.0%, an increase of almost 0.7 percentage points. The rate remains above the recent two-year average of 75.5%.

    Financial conditions weakened further. Aging receivables over 30 days rose to 2.3%, an increase of a quarter of a percentage point. Aging receivables increased at banks and independents but declined at captives. Charge-offs rose for the second consecutive month to 0.60%, the highest loss rate since September 2020. The trailing six-month average rose to 0.50% and has been trending up over the last five months. It is now more elevated than at any point from 2015 through 2019.

    “Industry new business volume of $10.4 billion was very strong in March, which may represent a pull-forward of equipment orders ahead of tariffs going into effect,” said Alan Sikora, CEO of First American Equipment Finance, an RBC / City National Company. “As some clients are cautious due to economic uncertainty, the equipment leasing and finance industry will continue to play a key role in helping organizations navigate their changing environment.”

    Industry Confidence
    The Monthly Confidence Index from ELFA’s affiliate, the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation, dropped to 41.9 in April from 58.1 the previous month, as tariffs spur uncertainty about conditions over the next four months.

    About ELFA’s CFI
    The CapEx Finance Index (CFI) is the only real-time dataset that tracks nationwide conditions in the equipment financing industry. The information is compiled from a diversified set of businesses that respond to questions about demand for equipment financing, employment, and changes in financial conditions. The resulting data is organized by institution type, such as banks, captives, and independents, and is classified into overall activity and financing for small ticket equipment and software. The CFI is released monthly from Washington, D.C., one day before the U.S. Department of Commerce’s durable goods report. More detail on the data and methodology can be found at www.elfaonline.org/CFI.

    About ELFA
    The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) represents financial services companies and manufacturers in the $1 trillion U.S. equipment finance sector. ELFA’s over 600 member companies provide essential financing that helps businesses acquire the equipment they need to operate and grow.

The Company will selectively explore Commercial Real Estate opportunities with an emphasis on relationship based Commercial Real Estate lending.
    • Asset Quality: At March 31, 2025, the Bank’s asset quality improved with non-performing loans decreasing 28.5% to $11.7 million, representing 0.60% of the total loan portfolio, while the allowance for credit losses increased to 1.17% of total loans.
    • Tangible Book Value Per Share: Tangible book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) was $23.62 at March 31, 2025 (inclusive of one-time core system conversion expenses of $2.6 million, net of tax, or $0.34 per share) compared to $23.86 at December 31, 2024.
    • Technology & Rebranding: The Company completed its core processing system conversion to FIS Horizon in February 2025. This conversion, coupled with our recently revealed refreshed corporate logo, exemplifies our momentum towards a more technologically advanced, modern and digitally forward-thinking bank.
    • Quarterly Cash Dividend: The Company’s Board of Directors approved a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common and Series A preferred shares payable on May 14, 2025 to stockholders of record on May 7, 2025.

    MINEOLA, N.Y., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hanover Bancorp, Inc. (“Hanover” or “the Company” – NASDAQ: HNVR), the holding company for Hanover Community Bank (“the Bank”), today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the declaration of a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common and Series A preferred shares payable on May 14, 2025 to stockholders of record on May 7, 2025.

    Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025

    The Company reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 of $1.5 million or $0.20 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company recorded adjusted (non-GAAP) net income (excluding core system conversion expenses of $2.6 million, net of tax) of $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, versus net income of $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share in the comparable 2024 quarter (which included no adjustments). Returns on average assets, average stockholders’ equity and average tangible equity were 0.27%, 3.11% and 3.45%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, versus 0.74%, 8.70% and 9.71%, respectively, for the comparable quarter of 2024. Adjusted (non-GAAP) returns, exclusive of core system conversion expenses on average assets, average stockholders’ equity and average tangible equity were 0.73%, 8.36% and 9.27%, respectively, in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, versus 0.74%, 8.70% and 9.71%, respectively, in the comparable quarter of 2024.

    While net interest income and non-interest income increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, these were partially offset by increases in provision for credit losses and non-interest expenses, particularly compensation and benefits and the one-time core system conversion expenses. The increase in compensation and benefits expense in the first quarter of 2025 versus the comparable 2024 quarter was primarily related to lower deferred loan origination costs partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense resulting from reduced lending activity. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 13.8% in the first quarter of 2025 from 24.9% both in the linked quarter and the comparable 2024 quarter due to the tax impact of the windfall benefit from expiring stock options that were exercised and vested restricted stock. We expect a normalized run rate of 25.0% for the remainder of the year.

    Net interest income was $14.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $1.7 million, or 13.10% from the comparable 2024 quarter due to improvement of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.68% in the 2025 quarter from 2.41% in the comparable 2024 quarter. The yield on interest earning assets decreased to 6.01% in the 2025 quarter from 6.03% in the comparable 2024 quarter, a decrease of 2 basis points that was partially offset by a 32 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 4.01% in 2025 from 4.33% in the first quarter of 2024. Net interest income on a linked quarter basis increased $0.8 million or 5.95%, due to a 15 basis point increase in net interest margin resulting from a 23 basis point decrease in cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 5 basis point decrease on yield on interest earning assets. The increase in the net interest margin was a result of the late 2024 reductions in the Fed Funds effective rate and the liability sensitive nature of the Bank’s balance sheet.

    Michael P. Puorro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Company’s quarterly results: “We are pleased with our first quarter performance which reflected sizable improvements in Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin that drove stronger adjusted ROTE and ROA for the period. Specifically, NII increased from $13.8 million to $14.6 million and NIM from 2.53% to 2.68%, resulting in adjusted ROTE of 9.27% and ROA of 0.73%, confirming a trend away from the restrictive environment of the last couple of years. Building on this positive momentum were improved credit metrics and the completion of our core banking system conversion, a significant achievement that is expected to deliver tangible operational efficiencies and customer benefits while enhancing our commitment to digital banking. In addition to the core banking system conversion, we recently announced our new logo which is representative of our focus on innovation and a digital forward strategy. Moving forward, we remain committed to disciplined development of our core business verticals which include niche residential, SBA and C&I lending. Further, we look forward to a more favorable banking environment and the upcoming potential qualification for the Russell 2000, which should increase institutional ownership and enhance the liquidity of our stock.”

    Balance Sheet Highlights

    Total assets at March 31, 2025 were $2.29 billion versus $2.31 billion at December 31, 2024. Total securities available for sale at March 31, 2025 were $93.2 million, an increase of $9.4 million from December 31, 2024, primarily driven by growth in collateralized mortgage obligations, collateralized loan obligations and corporate bonds.

    Total deposits at March 31, 2025 were $1.94 billion, a decrease of $17.8 million or 0.91%, compared to $1.95 billion at December 31, 2024. Total deposits increased $19.2 million or 1.00% from March 31, 2024. Demand deposits increased $12.6 million or 6.23% from March 31, 2024. Our loan to deposit ratio improved to 101% at March 31, 2025 from 102% at December 31, 2024.

    The Company had $517.1 million in total municipal deposits at March 31, 2025, at a weighted average rate of 3.71% versus $509.3 million at a weighted average rate of 3.72% at December 31, 2024 and $576.3 million at a weighted average rate of 4.65% at March 31, 2024. The Company’s municipal deposit program is built on long-standing relationships developed in the local marketplace. This core deposit business will continue to provide a stable source of funding for the Company’s lending products at costs lower than those of consumer deposits and market-based borrowings. The Company continues to broaden its municipal deposit base and currently services 40 customer relationships.

    Total borrowings at March 31, 2025 were $107.8 million, with a weighted average rate and term of 4.11% and 20 months, respectively. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $107.8 million of term FHLB advances outstanding. The Company had no FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under lines of credit with correspondent banks at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

    Stockholders’ equity was $196.6 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Retained earnings increased by $0.8 million due primarily to net income of $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which was offset by $0.7 million of dividends declared. The accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2025 was 0.71% of total equity and was comprised of a $0.9 million after tax net unrealized loss on the investment portfolio and a $0.5 million after tax net unrealized loss on derivatives. Tangible book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) was $23.62 at March 31, 2025 (inclusive of one-time core system conversion expenses of $2.6 million, net of tax, or $0.34 per share) compared to $23.86 at December 31, 2024.

    Loan Portfolio

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Bank’s loan portfolio decreased $24.9 million to $1.96 billion from December 31, 2024. The decrease resulted primarily from the ongoing management of our commercial real estate and multifamily loan concentrations. At March 31, 2025, the Company’s residential loan portfolio (including home equity) amounted to $733.6 million, with an average loan balance of $486 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 57%. Commercial real estate (including construction) and multifamily loans totaled $1.06 billion at March 31, 2025, with an average loan balance of $1.5 million and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 59%. As will be discussed below, approximately 37% of the multifamily portfolio is subject to rent regulation. The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio continues to improve, decreasing to 369% of capital at March 31, 2025 from 385% at December 31, 2024 and 416% at March 31, 2024, with loans secured by office space accounting for 2.23% of the total loan portfolio and totaling $43.8 million at March 31, 2025. The Company’s loan pipeline with executed term sheets at March 31, 2025 is approximately $255.0 million, with approximately 92% being niche-residential, conventional C&I and SBA lending opportunities.

    The Bank remains focused on expanding its core verticals and continues to originate loans for its portfolio and for sale in the secondary market under its residential flow origination program. Of the $48.8 million in closed residential loans originated in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, $27.6 million were originated for the Bank’s portfolio and reflected a weighted average yield of 6.64% before origination and other fees, which average 50-100 bps per loan, and a weighted average LTV of 58%. The remaining $21.2 million of closed loans were originated for sale in the secondary market. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold $18.3 million of residential loans under its flow origination program and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $0.4 million with a premium of 2.38%.

    During the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company sold approximately $23.4 million and $26.7 million, respectively, in government guaranteed SBA loans and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. SBA loan originations and gains on sale were lower due to a combination of factors, including: lower than expected loan sale premiums due, we believe, to first quarter market turmoil; delays in loan closings resulting from the impact of administrative changes to SBA Standard Operating Procedures; and the inability of certain loans to close because of delays by state regulatory agencies in issuing permit approvals to certain borrowers. As we enter the second quarter of 2025, we expect to navigate these factors and to increase the volume of origination and loan sale activity throughout the year. The Bank concluded the first quarter of 2025 with C&I loan originations of approximately $16.8 million. Based on its existing pipeline, the Bank expects C&I lending and deposit activity to grow as the year progresses.

    Rental breakdown of Multi-Family portfolio

    The table below segments our portfolio of loans secured by Multi-Family properties based on rental terms and location. As shown below, 63% of the combined portfolio is secured by properties subject to free market rental terms, which is the dominant tenant type. Both the Market Rent and Stabilized Rent segments of our portfolio present very similar average borrower profiles. The portfolio is primarily located in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens.

    Office Property Exposure

    The Bank’s exposure to the Office market is minor. Loans secured by office space accounted for 2.23% of the total loan portfolio with a total balance of $43.8 million, of which less than 1% is located in Manhattan. The pool has a 2.32x weighted average DSCR, a 53% weighted average LTV and less than $353,000 of exposure in Manhattan.

    Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

    At March 31, 2025, the Bank’s asset quality metrics improved with non-performing loans totaling $11.7 million compared to non-performing loans of $16.4 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $4.7 million. This decrease resulted primarily from the contracted sale of non-performing loans totaling $5.0 million, net of a $0.3 million charge-off, during the quarter. At March 31, 2025 non-performing loans were 0.60% of total loans outstanding versus 0.82% at December 31, 2024.

    During the first quarter of 2025, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses expense of $0.6 million. The March 31, 2025 allowance for credit losses was $22.9 million versus $22.8 million at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.17% at March 31, 2025 and 1.15% at December 31, 2024.

    Net Interest Margin

    The Bank’s net interest margin increased to 2.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2.53% in the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and 2.41% in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 due to the recent reductions in the Fed Funds effective rate and the liability sensitive nature of the Bank’s balance sheet.

    Non-GAAP Disclosure

    This discussion, including the financial statements attached thereto, includes non-GAAP financial measures which include the Company’s adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, tangible common equity (“TCE”) ratio, TCE, tangible assets, tangible book value per share, return on average tangible equity and efficiency ratio. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides both management and investors with a greater understanding of the Company’s operating results and trends in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP, and provides greater comparability across time periods. While management uses non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance, this information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the numbers prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other financial institutions.

    With respect to the calculations of and reconciliations of adjusted net income, TCE, tangible assets, TCE ratio and tangible book value per share, reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are provided in the tables that follow.

  • MIL-OSI: Delinea Unveils Enterprise-Grade Cloud-Native Security Capabilities to Help Safeguard and Scale AI Innovation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Delinea, a pioneering provider of solutions for securing human and machine identities through centralized authorization, is introducing powerful new and planned capabilities to strengthen the Machine and AI solution on its leading cloud-native identity security platform. The enhancements will make it easier for enterprises to discover, manage, and secure AI agents, systems, and infrastructure while supercharging network defenses with holistic, AI-driven security controls.

    As AI adoption accelerates, so does the complexity and risk of managing it. Researchers at Delinea Labs estimate there are now 46 machine identities for every human identity in an enterprise network, underscoring the growing problem of machine identity sprawl. The Delinea Platform’s new and planned Machine and AI solution capabilities will help organizations untangle the complex web of human and machine identity management by providing built-in guardrails to secure AI and secure with AI without compromising compliance or sacrificing productivity.

    “Enterprises are entering an important phase where securing AI isn’t just a technical challenge – it’s a strategic imperative that enables the core business,” said Todd Thiemann, Principal Analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group. “Delinea’s new machine identity and AI capabilities address the underappreciated risks created by the accelerating growth of non-human identities. Delinea is delivering a smart approach to AI that can discover and secure AI infrastructure as well as apply AI to improve its own technologies.”

    Delinea’s new and planned Machine and AI solution enhancements will help organizations identify, govern, and secure human and machine identities across complex cloud environments, allowing for resilient and seamless identity security at scale.

    • Vault AI brings clarity and control to how AI is accessed and used with the power of an enterprise-grade vault. Automate and simplify AI credential access, management, and password rotation aligned with industry best practices.
    • Secure AI helps enforce and manage access controls on sensitive AI systems and infrastructure, applying least privilege to limit the blast radius of potential attacks or malfunctions. Take advantage of one of the only solutions in the market that has the ability to evaluate and right-size AI agent entitlements.
    • Discover AI, targeted for preview in Q2 2025, is designed to enable IT administrators to identify and secure the unsanctioned use of AI, including shadow AI tools and machine identity sprawl. Establish a baseline of AI use across multi-cloud and hybrid environments and prevent unapproved AI services from introducing unmanaged risk.
    • AI-Driven Authorization, targeted for preview in H2 2025, is designed to empower enterprises with agentic AI to enforce least privilege across all human and machine identities with the speed and accuracy needed to promote confidence, leveraging a just-in-time access model.
    • Identity AI, planned for future release, is designed to deliver a purpose-built, native large-language model (LLM) for privileged accounts, eliminating the transient state of data and reducing the inherent risk of using third-party LLMs. This will enable heavily regulated organizations to take advantage of AI within their own environments while adhering to strict compliance requirements.

    “AI has become an integral driver of business transformation, and it’s fueling a population boom of machine identities that are reshaping the foundation of enterprise security,” said Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer at Delinea. “The power and flexibility of Agentic AI adds immense complexity to already challenging machine-to-machine authorization. The Delinea Platform simplifies the management and authorization of both human and machine identities, making it easier for organizations to leverage AI responsibly and safely so they can keep innovating and driving business outcomes. Other identity security platforms aren’t built for AI like ours.”

  • MIL-OSI: Brompton Announces the Launch of Brompton Wellington Square AAA CLO ETF

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (TSX: BAAA; BAAA.U) Brompton Funds Limited (the “Manager”) is pleased to announce that Brompton Wellington Square AAA CLO ETF (“BAAA”) will commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) today. A final prospectus dated April 10, 2025 has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each province and territory in Canada.

    The investment objectives of BAAA are to provide unitholders with high monthly income and capital preservation through investment in a portfolio of primarily AAA rated collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). BAAA seeks to hedge substantially all of its direct exposure to foreign currencies back to the Canadian dollar. However, any exposure that BAAA’s assets allocable to the USD units have to foreign currencies will not be hedged back to the Canadian dollar. BAAA will seek to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a portfolio of CLOs selected by Wellington Square Advisors Inc., the investment sub-advisor to BAAA, generally ranging in credit quality from AAA to BBB, with a minimum of 75% of BAAA’s portfolio invested in AAA rated CLOs. Up to 10% of BAAA’s portfolio may from time to time be tactically invested in CLOs rated less than BBB. All ratings are measured as at the time of investment.

    Wellington Square Advisors Inc. (“Wellington Square”) is a Toronto-based independent investment advisory led by portfolio managers Jeff Sujitno and Amar Dhanoya. Wellington Square has invested in CLOs for over 10 years with certain staff having specialized expertise gained from working for CLO managers.

    The Manager has assigned BAAA a risk rating of “low”. For further details, please refer to BAAA’s ETF Facts document available on www.sedarplus.ca or on BAAA’s home page at www.bromptongroup.com.

    Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (833) 378-0717.

    Note: DIPS, FIAT, CRSH, YQQQ and WNTR are hereinafter referred to as the “Short ETFs.”

    Distributions are not guaranteed. The Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield are not indicative of future distributions, if any, on the ETFs. In particular, future distributions on any ETF may differ significantly from its Distribution Rate or 30-Day SEC Yield. You are not guaranteed a distribution under the ETFs. Distributions for the ETFs (if any) are variable and may vary significantly from period to period and may be zero. Accordingly, the Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant.

    Investors in the Funds will not have rights to receive dividends or other distributions with respect to the underlying reference asset(s).

    1  All YieldMax™ ETFs shown in the table above (except YMAX, YMAG, FEAT, FIVY and ULTY) have a gross expense ratio of 0.99%. YMAX, YMAG and FEAT have a Management Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.99% for a gross expense ratio of 1.28%. FIVY has a Management Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.59% for a gross expense ratio of 0.88%. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other investment companies, namely other YieldMax™ ETFs. ULTY has a gross expense ratio after the fee waiver of 1.30%. The Advisor has agreed to a fee waiver of 0.10% through at least February 28, 2026.

    2  The Distribution Rate shown is as of close on April 22, 2025. The Distribution Rate is the annual distribution rate an investor would receive if the most recent distribution, which includes option income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing an ETF’s Distribution per Share and dividing such annualized amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions may also include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of investor capital, which may decrease an ETF’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment. These Distribution Rates may be caused by unusually favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable. Such conditions may not continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this performance may be repeated in the future.

    3  The 30-Day SEC Yield represents net investment income, which excludes option income, earned by such ETF over the 30-Day period ended March 31, 2025, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on such ETF’s share price at the end of the 30-Day period.

    4  Each ETF’s strategy (except those of the Short ETFs) will cap potential gains if its reference asset’s shares increase in value, yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the reference asset’s shares decrease in value. Such potential losses may not be offset by income received by the ETF. Each Short ETF’s strategy will cap potential gains if its reference asset decreases in value, yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the reference asset increases in value. Such potential losses may not be offset by income received by the ETF.

    5  ROC refers to Return of Capital. The ROC percentage is the portion of the distribution that represents an investor’s original investment.

    Each Fund has a limited operating history and while each Fund’s objective is to provide current income, there is no guarantee the Fund will make a distribution. Distributions are likely to vary greatly in amount.

    Important Information

    This material must be preceded or accompanied by the prospectus. For all prospectuses, click here.

    Tidal Financial Group is the adviser for all YieldMax™ ETFs.

    THE FUND, TRUST, AND ADVISER ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY UNDERLYING REFERENCE ASSET.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable to all YieldMax ETFs referenced above, except the Short ETFs)

    YMAX, YMAG, FEAT and FIVY generally invest in other YieldMax™ ETFs. As such, these two Funds are subject to the risks listed in this section, which apply to all the YieldMax™ ETFs they may hold from time to time.

    Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

    Referenced Index Risk. The Fund invests in options contracts that are based on the value of the Index (or the Index ETFs). This subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of companies that comprised the Index or an ETF that tracks the Index, even though it does not.

    Indirect Investment Risk. The Index is not affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way. Investors in the Fund will not have the right to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the companies that comprise the Index but will be subject to declines in the performance of the Index.

    Russell 2000 Index Risks. The Index, which consists of small-cap U.S. companies, is particularly susceptible to economic changes, as these firms often have less financial resilience than larger companies. Market volatility can disproportionately affect these smaller businesses, leading to significant price swings. Additionally, these companies are often more exposed to specific industry risks and have less diverse revenue streams. They can also be more vulnerable to changes in domestic regulatory or policy environments.

    Call Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s call writing strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in the positive price returns of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold call options and over longer periods.

    Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members.

    Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

    Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

    Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given period. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next.

    High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses.

    Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.

    Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund.

    New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

    Price Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of call option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in increases in value experienced by the underlying reference asset over the Call Period.

    Single Issuer Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment which diversifies risk or the market generally. The value of the Fund, which focuses on an individual security (ARKK, TSLA, AAPL, NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOGL, NFLX, COIN, MSFT, DIS, XOM, JPM, AMD, PYPL, SQ, MRNA, AI, MSTR, Bitcoin ETP, GDX®, SNOW, ABNB, BABA, TSM, SMCI, PLTR, MARA, CVNA), may be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole.

    Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions, if any, may decline.

    Indirect Investment Risk. The Index is not affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to GPTY)

    Artificial Intelligence Risk. Issuers engaged in artificial intelligence typically have high research and capital expenditures and, as a result, their profitability can vary widely, if they are profitable at all. The space in which they are engaged is highly competitive and issuers’ products and services may become obsolete very quickly. These companies are heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. The issuers are also subject to legal, regulatory, and political changes that may have a large impact on their profitability. A failure in an issuer’s product or even questions about the safety of the product could be devastating to the issuer, especially if it is the marquee product of the issuer. It can be difficult to accurately capture what qualifies as an artificial intelligence company.

    Technology Sector Risk. The Fund will invest substantially in companies in the information technology sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability.

    Risk Disclosure (applicable only to MARO)

    Digital Assets Risk: The Fund does not invest directly in Bitcoin or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest directly in derivatives that track the performance of Bitcoin or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest in or seek direct exposure to the current “spot” or cash price of Bitcoin. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of Bitcoin should consider an investment other than the Fund. Digital assets like Bitcoin, designed as mediums of exchange, are still an emerging asset class. They operate independently of any central authority or government backing and are subject to regulatory changes and extreme price volatility.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to BABO and TSMY)

    Currency Risk: Indirect exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

    Depositary Receipts Risk: The securities underlying BABO and TSMY are American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Investment in ADRs may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market.

    Foreign Market and Trading Risk: The trading markets for many foreign securities are not as active as U.S. markets and may have less governmental regulation and oversight.

    Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in securities of U.S. issuers, such as risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability, as well as varying regulatory requirements applicable to investments in non-U.S. issuers. There may be less information publicly available about a non-U.S. issuer than a U.S. issuer. Non-U.S. issuers may also be subject to different regulatory, accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to GDXY)

    Risk of Investing in Foreign Securities. The Fund is exposed indirectly to the securities of foreign issuers selected by GDX®’s investment adviser, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated with such companies. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities.

    Risk of Investing in Gold and Silver Mining Companies. The Fund is exposed indirectly to gold and silver mining companies selected by GDX®’s investment adviser, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated with such companies.

    The Fund invests in options contracts based on the value of the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX®), which subjects the Fund to some of the same risks as if it owned GDX®, as well as the risks associated with Canadian, Australian and Emerging Market Issuers, and Small-and Medium-Capitalization companies.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to YBIT)

    YBIT does not invest directly in Bitcoin or any other digital assets. YBIT does not invest directly in derivatives that track the performance of Bitcoin or any other digital assets. YBIT does not invest in or seek direct exposure to the current “spot” or cash price of Bitcoin. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of Bitcoin should consider an investment other than YBIT.

    Bitcoin Investment Risk: The Fund’s indirect investment in Bitcoin, through holdings in one or more Underlying ETPs, exposes it to the unique risks of this emerging innovation. Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, and its market is influenced by the changing Bitcoin network, fluctuating acceptance levels, and unpredictable usage trends.

    Digital Assets Risk: Digital assets like Bitcoin, designed as mediums of exchange, are still an emerging asset class. They operate independently of any central authority or government backing and are subject to regulatory changes and extreme price volatility. Potentially No 1940 Act Protections. As of the date of this Prospectus, there is only a single eligible Underlying ETP, and it is an investment company subject to the 1940 Act.

    Bitcoin ETP Risk: The Fund invests in options contracts that are based on the value of the Bitcoin ETP. This subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of the Bitcoin ETP, even though it does not. Bitcoin ETPs are subject, but not limited, to significant risk and heightened volatility. An investor in a Bitcoin ETP may lose their entire investment. Bitcoin ETPs are not suitable for all investors. In addition, not all Bitcoin ETPs are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Those Bitcoin ETPs that are not registered under such statute are therefore not subject to the same regulations as exchange traded products that are so registered.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to the Short ETFs)

    Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

    Price Appreciation Risk. As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered put strategy, the Fund purchases and sells call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the underlying reference asset. This strategy subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it shorted the underlying reference asset, even though it does not. By virtue of the Fund’s indirect inverse exposure to changes in the value of the underlying reference asset, the Fund is subject to the risk that the value of the underlying reference asset increases. If the value of the underlying reference asset increases, the Fund will likely lose value and, as a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses.

    Put Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s put writing (selling) strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in decreases in the value of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold put options and over longer periods.

    Purchased OTM Call Options Risk. The Fund’s strategy is subject to potential losses if the underlying reference asset increases in value, which may not be offset by the purchase of out-of-the-money (OTM) call options. The Fund purchases OTM calls to seek to manage (cap) the Fund’s potential losses from the Fund’s short exposure to the underlying reference asset if it appreciates significantly in value. However, the OTM call options will cap the Fund’s losses only to the extent that the value of the underlying reference asset increases to a level that is at or above the strike level of the purchased OTM call options. Any increase in the value of the underlying reference asset to a level that is below the strike level of the purchased OTM call options will result in a corresponding loss for the Fund. For example, if the OTM call options have a strike level that is approximately 100% above the then-current value of the underlying reference asset at the time of the call option purchase, and the value of the underlying reference asset increases by at least 100% during the term of the purchased OTM call options, the Fund will lose all its value. Since the Fund bears the costs of purchasing the OTM calls, such costs will decrease the Fund’s value and/or any income otherwise generated by the Fund’s investment strategy.

    Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members.

    Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

    Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying reference asset, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

    Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given period. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next.

    High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings.

    Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.

    Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund.

    New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

    Price Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of put option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in decreases in value experienced by the underlying reference asset over the Put Period.

    Single Issuer Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment which diversifies risk or the market generally. The value of the Fund, for any Fund that focuses on an individual security (e.g., TSLA, COIN, NVDA, MSTR), may be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole.

    Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions, if any, may decline.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to CHPY)

    Semiconductor Industry Risk. Semiconductor companies may face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, and such competition may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Semiconductor companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Semiconductor companies’ supply chain and operations are dependent on the availability of materials that meet exacting standards and the use of third parties to provide components and services.

    The products of semiconductor companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Capital equipment expenditures could be substantial, and equipment generally suffers from rapid obsolescence. Companies in the semiconductor industry are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights would adversely affect the profitability of these companies.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to YQQQ)

    Index Overview. The Nasdaq 100 Index is a benchmark index that includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, based on market capitalization.

    Index Level Appreciation Risk. As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered put strategy, the Fund purchases and sells call and put option contracts that are based on the Index level. This strategy subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it shorted the Index, even though it does not. By virtue of the Fund’s indirect inverse exposure to changes in the Index level, the Fund is subject to the risk that the Index level increases. If the Index level increases, the Fund will likely lose value and, as a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses. The Fund may also be subject to the following risks: innovation and technological advancement; strong market presence of Index constituent companies; adaptability to global market trends; and resilience and recovery potential.

    Index Level Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of put option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will benefit from decreases in the Index level experienced over the Put Period. This means that if the Index level experiences a decrease in value below the strike level of the sold put options during a Put Period, the Fund will likely not experience that increase to the same extent and any Fund gains may significantly differ from the level of the Index losses over the Put Period. Additionally, because the Fund is limited in the degree to which it will participate in decreases in value experienced by the Index level over each Put Period, but has significant negative exposure to any increases in value experienced by the Index level over the Put Period, the NAV of the Fund may decrease over any given period. The Fund’s NAV is dependent on the value of each options portfolio, which is based principally upon the inverse of the performance of the Index level. The Fund’s ability to benefit from the Index level decreases will depend on prevailing market conditions, especially market volatility, at the time the Fund enters into the sold put option contracts and will vary from Put Period to Put Period. The value of the options contracts is affected by changes in the value and dividend rates of component companies that comprise the Index, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the Index and the remaining time to the options’ expiration, as well as trading conditions in the options market. As the Index level changes and time moves towards the expiration of each Put Period, the value of the options contracts, and therefore the Fund’s NAV, will change. However, it is not expected for the Fund’s NAV to directly inversely correlate on a day-to-day basis with the returns of the Index level. The amount of time remaining until the options contract’s expiration date affects the impact that the value of the options contracts has on the Fund’s NAV, which may not be in full effect until the expiration date of the Fund’s options contracts. Therefore, while changes in the Index level will result in changes to the Fund’s NAV, the Fund generally anticipates that the rate of change in the Fund’s NAV will be different than the inverse of the changes experienced by the Index level.

  • MIL-OSI: Stifel Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ST. LOUIS, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported net revenues of $1.26 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $1.16 billion a year ago. Net income available to common shareholders was $43.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, compared with $154.3 million, or $1.40 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders was $54.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2025.

    Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “Our net revenue of $1.26 billion marks the highest first-quarter revenue in our history, with year-over-year growth across all revenue lines. The investments we’ve made in our business and our focus on delivering valued advice drove growth in both our Global Wealth Management and Institutional Group — despite the headwinds from market volatility and a significant legal charge. We remain optimistic about long-term growth, emphasizing the resilience of U.S. financial markets and the value our advice-driven model delivers during periods of uncertainty.”

    Highlights

    • Advisory revenues increased 15% over the year-ago quarter.

  • MIL-OSI: Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUNMORE, Pa., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FDBC) and its banking subsidiary, The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank, announced its unaudited, consolidated financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

    Unaudited Financial Information

    Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $6.0 million, or $1.03 diluted earnings per share, compared to $5.1 million, or $0.88 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The $0.9 million, or 18%, increase in net income resulted primarily from a $2.1 million increase in net interest income coupled with a $0.4 million increase in non-interest income. This was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in non-interest expense, a $0.4 million increase in the provision for income tax, and a $0.3 million increase in the provision for credit losses on loans.

    “Highlights of our first quarter results include achieving total assets of $2.7 billion, along with strong net income primarily driven by accelerated loan and deposit growth and improvement in net interest margin,” said Dan Santaniello, President and CEO. “While we continue to closely monitor the external environment, our outlook for the year is positive, reflecting rigorous expense management, healthy credit metrics and ongoing successful execution of our strategic plan. I want to thank our bankers for their commitment and service. Their contributions are essential to our achievements, enabling us to serve our clients, shareholders, and community with exceptional experiences.”

    Consolidated First Quarter Operating Results Overview

    Net interest income was $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, a 14% increase over the $14.9 million earned for the first quarter of 2024. The $2.1 million increase in net interest income resulted from the increase of $2.7 million in interest income primarily due to a $148.0 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a 21 basis point increase in fully-taxable equivalent (“FTE”) yield. The loan portfolio had the most significant impact, producing a $2.5 million increase in FTE interest income from $116.4 million in higher quarterly average balances and an increase of 26 basis points in FTE loan yield. Slightly offsetting the higher interest income, there was a $0.6 million increase in interest expense due to a $124.3 million quarter-over-quarter increase in average interest-bearing liability balances. The increase was due to growth of $179.3 million in average interest-bearing deposit balances and a 6 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowings due to $53.9 million less in average short-term borrowings.

    The FTE yield on interest-earning assets was 4.73% for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 21 basis points from the 4.52% for the first quarter of 2024. The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.49% for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of 2 basis points from the 2.51% for the first quarter of 2024. The cost of funds remained flat at 1.93% for both the first quarters of 2025 and 2024. The Company’s FTE (non-GAAP measurement) net interest spread was 2.24% for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 23 basis points from the 2.01% recorded for the first quarter of 2024. FTE net interest margin increased to 2.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 2.69% for the same period of 2024 due to the increase in the loan and lease portfolio coupled with the continued re-investment of cash flow into more effective interest-earning assets.

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $455 thousand partially offset by a $85 thousand net benefit in the provision for unfunded commitments, compared to a $125 thousand provision for credit losses on loans and a $50 thousand net benefit in the provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the increase in the provision for credit losses on loans compared to the prior year period was due to higher loan growth and higher net charge-offs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the higher net benefit for credit losses on unfunded commitments was due to a larger reduction in unfunded commitments during the quarter compared to the same period in 2024.

    Total non-interest income increased $0.4 million, or 9%, to $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributed to $0.2 million in wealth management fees and $0.1 million in interchange fees. During the first quarter of 2025, gains of $0.5 million on the sale of a commercial loan and $0.3 million from the sale of a property were offset by $0.8 million in losses recognized on the sale of securities.

    Non-interest expenses increased $0.9 million, or 6%, for the first quarter of 2025 to $14.6 million from $13.7 million for the same quarter of 2024. Salaries and benefits expense increased $0.6 million due to an increase in bankers, group insurance costs, and banker incentives in the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, the Company saw an increase of $0.3 million in advertising and marketing expenses primarily due to an increase in Neighborhood Assistance Program donations from which the Company recognized $0.2 million in additional tax credits causing a corresponding decrease in PA shares tax expense. 

    The provision for income taxes increased $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in income before taxes and $0.1 million less in tax credits. 

    Consolidated Balance Sheet & Asset Quality Overview

    The Company’s total assets had a balance of $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2025, an increase of $126.7 million from December 31, 2024. The increase resulted from $127.8 million in growth in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The loans and leases portfolio increased $16.3 million during the same period of 2025. Asset growth was offset by a decrease of $16.7 million in the investment portfolio primarily due to the sale of $17.5 million in available-for-sale securities and $5.2 million in paydowns partially offset by $4.6 million in purchases of securities.

    During the same time period, total liabilities increased $119.0 million, or 5%. Deposit growth of $116.6 million was utilized to fund loan growth and increase interest-bearing cash balances. For interest-bearing deposit accounts, the Company experienced increases of $54.1 million in money market deposits, $27.6 million in interest-bearing checking accounts, $7.9 million in time deposits, and $5.3 million in savings and clubs. The deposit growth is primarily driven by growth in existing account balances from the relationship strategy along with targeted direct marketing driving new client acquisitions and active management of promotional and retention rates. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase of $21.7 million in non-interest-bearing checking accounts. Also as of March 31, 2025, checking deposit balances remained at more than half of total deposits. As of March 31, 2025, the ratio of insured and collateralized deposits to total deposits was approximately 75%.

    Shareholders’ equity increased $7.7 million, or 4%, to $211.7 million at March 31, 2025 from $204.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was caused by $3.7 million higher retained earnings from net income of $6.0 million plus a $3.6 million, after tax, improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income from lower net unrealized losses recorded on available-for-sale securities, partially offset by $2.3 million in cash dividends paid to shareholders. An additional $0.6 million was recorded from the issuance of common stock under the Company’s stock plans and stock-based compensation expense. At March 31, 2025, there were no credit losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is excluded from regulatory capital ratios. The Company remains well capitalized with Tier 1 capital at 9.22% of total average assets as of March 31, 2025. Total risk-based capital was 14.74% of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 risk-based capital was 13.57% of risk-weighted assets as of March 31, 2025. Tangible book value per share was $33.16 at March 31, 2025 compared to $31.98 at December 31, 2024. Tangible common equity was 7.11% of total assets at March 31, 2025 compared to 7.16% at December 31, 2024.

    Asset Quality

    Total non-performing assets were $6.1 million, or 0.23% of total assets, at March 31, 2025, compared to $7.8 million, or 0.30% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. Past due and non-accrual loans to total loans were 0.66% at March 31, 2025 compared to 0.71% at December 31, 2024. Net charge-offs to average total loans were 0.02% at March 31, 2025 compared to 0.03% at December 31, 2024.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to provide information useful to the reader in understanding its operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to measure their performance and trends. Non-GAAP financial measures should be supplemental to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s operating results and should not be read in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for GAAP measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP are presented in the tables below.

    Interest income was adjusted to recognize the income from tax exempt interest-earning assets as if the interest was taxable, fully-taxable equivalent (“FTE”), in order to calculate certain ratios within this document. This treatment allows a uniform comparison among yields on interest-earning assets. Interest income was FTE adjusted, using the corporate federal tax rate of 21% for 2025 and 2024.

It is possible that certain information we post on our website and on social media could be deemed to be material information, and we encourage investors, the media and others interested in us to review the business and financial information we post on our website and on the social media channels identified above, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website and our social media channels is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items

    To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance:

    • “Adjusted Net Trading Income”, which is the amount of revenue we generate from our market making activities, or trading income, net, plus commissions, net and technology services, plus interest and dividends income and expense, net, less direct costs associated with those revenues, including brokerage, exchange, clearance fees and payments for order flow, net. Management believes that this measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Although we use Adjusted Net Trading Income as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of Adjusted Net Trading Income is limited because it does not include certain material costs that are necessary to operate our business. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Trading Income should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by revenues or expenses that are not directly associated with our core business activities.
    • “EBITDA”, which measures our operating performance by adjusting Net Income to exclude Financing interest expense on long-term borrowings, Debt issue cost related to debt refinancing, prepayment, and commitment fees, Depreciation and amortization, Amortization of purchased intangibles and acquired capitalized software, and Income tax expense, and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which measures our operating performance by further adjusting EBITDA to exclude severance, transaction advisory fees and expenses, termination of office leases, charges related to share-based compensation and other expenses, which includes reserves for legal matters, and Other, net, which includes gains and losses from strategic investments and the sales of businesses.
    • “Normalized Adjusted Net Income”, “Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes”, “Normalized provision for income taxes”, and “Normalized Adjusted EPS”, which we calculate by adjusting Net Income to exclude certain items, and other non-cash items, assuming that all vested and unvested Virtu Financial Units have been exchanged for Class A Common Stock, and applying an effective tax rate, which was approximately 24%.
    • “Adjusted Operating Expenses”, which we calculate by adjusting total operating expenses to exclude severance, share based compensation, reserves for legal matters, termination of office leases, connectivity early termination and write-down of assets.

    Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, and Normalized Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Operating Expenses are non-GAAP financial measures used by management in evaluating operating performance and in making strategic decisions. Additional information provided regarding the breakdown of Total Adjusted Net Trading Income by category is also a non-GAAP financial measure but is not used by the Company in evaluating operating performance and in making strategic decisions. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures or similar non-GAAP measures are used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess our operating performance. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because they assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS provide indicators of general economic performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Furthermore, our credit agreement contains tests based on metrics similar to Adjusted EBITDA. Other companies may define Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS differently, and as a result our measures of Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Although we use these non-GAAP financial measures as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because they do not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business.

    Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, Normalized Adjusted Net Income and Normalized Adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, Net Income in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Adjusted Net Trading Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, Normalized Adjusted EPS and our EBITDA-based measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

    • they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
    • our EBITDA-based measures do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;
    • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and our EBITDA-based measures do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements;
    • they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;
    • they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and
    • they do not reflect limitations on our costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us.

    Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, Normalized Adjusted Net Income and Normalized Adjusted EPS are not intended as alternatives to Net Income as indicators of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, Normalized Adjusted Net Income and Normalized Adjusted EPS along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. These U.S. GAAP measurements include Net Income, cash flows from operations and cash flow data. See below a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

  • MIL-OSI: Microchip Introduces PIC16F17576 MCU Family to Simplify Analog Sensor Design

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHANDLER, Ariz., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Devices designed for capturing rapidly changing analog signals must respond quickly while consuming minimal power, especially in battery-operated applications. To address these demands, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has released the PIC16F17576 microcontroller (MCU) product family with integrated low-power peripherals and the ability to precisely measure volatile analog signals.

    PIC16F17576 MCUs feature a new low-power comparator and voltage reference combination that can operate while the MCU core is in sleep mode, allowing for continuous analog measurement while consuming less than 3.0 µA of current. The Analog Peripheral Manager (APM) controls which peripherals are active to minimize total energy consumption and enable battery-operated applications to monitor signals effectively without excessive power drain.

    Engineered for applications that measure volatile analog signals, PIC16F17576 MCUs include operational amplifiers (op amps) with software-controlled gain ladders. This feature enables a single op amp to switch between multiple gain options, helping mitigate noise while maintaining precision and power efficiency. Equipped with up to four op amps and a 12-bit differential ADC with automated averaging, the MCUs enable precise signal measurement over a wide range of inputs.

    “Sensor systems can quickly become complex, often requiring multiple analog components that add board size, cost and power draw,” said Greg Robinson, corporate vice president of Microchip’s MCU business unit. “With the integrated analog features in our low-power PIC16F17576 MCUs, we’re cutting that complexity. You can eliminate parts and reduce power consumption, cutting costs and simplifying the overall design process.”

    PIC16F17576 MCUs are well suited for measuring analog signals in a number of industries, including environmental and industrial monitoring, smart home and building automation. Key applications include vibration and strain measurement, flow metering, gas detection, cold asset tracking and motion sensing. Visit the website to learn more about Microchip’s full portfolio of PIC®MCUs.

    Development Tools
    PIC16F17576 MCUs are supported by MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and MPLAB Code Configurator which allows designers to easily manage the functionality of the APM and analog peripherals. The devices are compatible with Microchip’s Curiosity Nano EV14L29A development board and MPLAB PICkit™ development tools.

    Pricing and Availability
    PIC16F17576 MCUs are available starting at $.57 each in 10,000-unit quantities. For additional information and to purchase, contact a Microchip sales representative, authorized worldwide distributor or visit Microchip’s Purchasing and Client Services website, www.microchipdirect.com.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitget Upgrades Liquidity Incentive Program with Top-Tier Maker Rebate for Institutional Traders

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has announced a major upgrade to its Liquidity Incentive Program, set to take effect on May 1, 2025. The revamped program introduces a more competitive fee structure, enhanced rewards, and expanded coverage for both spot and futures markets. This strategic update aligns with Bitget’s commitment in 2025 to serving institutional investors, improving liquidity depth, and trading efficiency across its platform.

    The upgraded program introduces a tiered system with market-leading fee incentives, including maker rebates of up to -0.012% on spot and -0.005% on futures, and taker fees starting as low as 0.02% and 0.025%, respectively. For the first time, maker rebates will apply to major perpetual contract trading pairs such as BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT, significantly enhancing rewards for liquidity providers and high-frequency trading firms. Around 130 futures pairs now enjoy Bitget’s top-tier fee rates, with more to be added in the following months after regular liquidity review.

    To further accelerate onboarding, new liquidity providers can submit historical trading records to receive a tier upgrade, granting access to better fee rates and higher API rate limits from the start.

    “In 2025, one of our top strategic priorities is the expansion of Bitget’s institutional ecosystem. By upgrading our liquidity incentives, we aim to create a more attractive and sustainable environment for market makers and professional traders. Strong institutional participation not only drives market depth but also contributes to the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

    This announcement follows Bitget’s recent upgrade of its institutional lending services, which now support over 50 collateral assets with flexible loan terms of up to 12 months — providing institutions with scalable and efficient access to capital. In parallel, Bitget also launched invite-only live trading for its Unified Account, enabling professional traders to manage spot, margin, and futures positions under one simplified interface. Together, these enhancements form a critical part of Bitget’s broader institutional strategy, aimed at delivering a seamless, high-performance infrastructure that meets the evolving needs of sophisticated trading firms.

    36Kr also unveiled its “2025 AI-Native Application Innovation Cases” and “2025 AI Partner Innovation Awards” at the conference, recognizing outstanding AI application scenarios across both industrial and consumer domains, including intelligent manufacturing, smart customer service, content creation, enterprise management, smart office, security monitoring, intelligent marketing, and intelligent healthcare. With a focus on AI-native products and applications that boost efficiency, elevate quality, and drive industry transformation, these awards spotlight innovative AI applications that address real-world challenges and generate measurable value across various sectors, underscoring AI’s widespread adoption and seamless integration.

    Building on the connections forged at its AI Partner Conference, 36Kr is committed to empowering the next wave of transformative AI companies in China. As the only media outlet to have conducted two in-depth interviews with DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng, 36Kr has a unique insight into the fundamentals of disruptive innovation. DeepSeek’s explosive rise underscored AI’s growing market influence and signaled a profound shift in public communication dynamics, marking an opportune moment for 36Kr to help build influential technology brands. In 2025, 36Kr will launch the “Disruptor Initiative,” identifying forward-thinking enterprises with the potential to become disruptors and serving as their “fine-tuning partner” as they seek to replicate DeepSeek’s breakout success. By integrating global resources and bridging the strengths of both industry and academia, 36Kr will propel Chinese AI companies to new heights, ensuring that Chinese technology shines even brighter on the global stage.
