MIL-OSI: The Last Dwarfs Launches Token Giveaway Worth 1 Million $TLD, Offering Users the Chance to Become Crypto Millionaires
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

London, UK, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Last Dwarfs, an emerging project in the Web3 gaming space, has just launched one of the most ambitious initiatives of 2025: a 1 million $TLD token giveaway, designed to reward its early supporters. The announcement comes at a time of increasing interest in blockchain-based gaming and tokenized experiences.

While the spotlight often shines on meme coins and speculative assets, a new kind of project is emerging, one that blends tangible utility, accessibility, and gamified finance.

What Is The Last Dwarfs? A Play-to-Invest Revolution

The Last Dwarfs is a Web3 ecosystem that introduces a new paradigm in the crypto space: Play-to-Invest. Unlike Play-to-Earn models that dominated early blockchain gaming, TLD offers an approach where every in-game action helps build a real investment portfolio. Users don’t just earn tokens through repetitive mechanics, they can discover and access high-potential crypto projects early through a feature called the Gamified Launchpad.

The project is integrated with the Telegram ecosystem and the TON blockchain, giving it direct access to an audience of over 900 million users. This infrastructural advantage allows for true scalability, something that most early-stage projects can only hope to achieve.

Moreover, the platform is already live and operational, with more than 300,000 users onboarded before the token has even been listed, concrete proof of product demand, and already proving the strength of its innovative model.

The 1M $TLD Giveaway – How It Works and What You Can Win

The 1 million $TLD giveaway was created to incentivize active participation and reward those helping grow the community. The entire prize pool of 1M $TLD tokens will be distributed through a leaderboard-based referral contest.

Here’s a breakdown of the current reward structure:
- 1st place: 200,000 $TLD
- 2nd place: 120,000 $TLD
- 3rd place: 80,000 $TLD
- 4th–10th place: 50,000 $TLD each
- 11th–20th place: 25,000 $TLD each
To join, users must complete a few simple actions: follow the project on Twitter, retweet the giveaway post, tag two friends in the comments, and sharing a referral link after connecting their wallet. The more people they invite, the higher their leaderboard position, and of course the bigger their prize.

Final Thoughts – A Unique Opportunity to Join Early

By launching this giveaway, The Last Dwarfs is adopting a community-first approach to user growth. The campaign is not only a reward mechanism but also an opportunity for participants to get involved with the project’s early development and ecosystem expansion.

The team behind the project has emphasized that further updates and features will be rolled out in the coming months, with ongoing community involvement playing a key role in shaping the platform’s evolution.

Olivier Novasque, CEO of Sidetrade commented:

“2024 once again illustrates the strength of Sidetrade’s business model, combining growth with profitability. Our 26% revenue increase was driven by a major breakthrough in the North American market, a leading-edge AI offering embraced by large enterprises, and the acquisition of SHS Viveon in Germany, which has further solidified our leadership in Order-to-Cash solutions across Europe. For the first time in our history, we have surpassed €8 million in operating profit, a significant 45% increase, highlighting the effectiveness and balance of our expansion strategy. But the real story goes beyond this impressive performance. We are witnessing an accelerated revolution in how businesses leverage artificial intelligence, marked by the emergence of specialized AI agents. Unlike traditional automation models that rely on rigid rule-based programming and constant human oversight, AI agents bring a new level of autonomous decision-making and real time operational optimization. These are no longer mere automation tools; they are intelligent entities capable of anticipating needs and acting independently within a company’s IT infrastructure, with minimal human intervention. Where traditional software simply organizes workflows using pre-defined rules, an AI agent trains, learns, adapts, and executes complex processes on its own. And this agentic revolution is only just beginning! At Sidetrade, Aimie represents the next generation of AI, evolving into an agentic AI that will orchestrate a network of AI agents, each managing a specific link in the Order-to-Cash cycle: risk, disputes, collections, cash application, and more. Aimie will direct, coordinate, and interconnect these high-specialized agents. Backed by the Sidetrade Data Lake, the most unique in the Order-to-Cash market and built on $7.2 trillion in B2B transactions spanning over 39.9 million businesses, Aimie is already powered by a one-of-a-kind training dataset in our field that will give its AI agents unmatched intelligence. Thanks to intensified R&D investments in 2024, we are set to launch our first next-gen AI agent in 2025, one that will redefine the boundaries of autonomy and capability. Companies that fail to embrace this paradigm shift will be rapidly outpaced by those that embed AI agents at the core of their operational excellence. With Aimie, Sidetrade is fully aligned with this AI agent revolution and is uniquely positioned to lead the race in its field.”

New record in year-over-year bookings (+13% in ACV)
Sidetrade maintained its growth trajectory in 2024 and set a new record with Annual Contract Value (ACV) reaching €12.73 million, up 13% compared to 2023. Annual Recurring Revenue (New ARR), increased by 6%, amounting to €6.53 million while Services bookings grew by 21%, totaling €6.2 million.

Bookings by new customers (“New Business”) accounted for 63% of total new bookings in 2024, while contract extensions (“Cross-sell”) and additional modules to existing customers (“Upsell”) contributed 18% and 19% of bookings, respectively.

Strong revenue growth in 2024: up 26% with SaaS subscriptions up 22%

In 2024, Sidetrade reported annual revenue of €55.0 million, marking a 26% increase compared to the previous year, and a 16% increase on a reported basis (excluding the acquisition of SHS Viveon finalized in June 2024). Several factors contributed to this strong performance:

Sustained organic growth: Overall revenue (excluding the acquisition of SHS Viveon) grew by 16%, while SaaS subscriptions increased by 15%. Meanwhile, Services showed impressive growth of 24%, driven by global implementation projects.
Strategic acquisition of SHS Viveon opening the DACH region: Since July 1, 2024, SHS Viveon has contributed €4.4 million to Sidetrade’s revenue, now accounting for 15% of total revenue in the second half of 2024.
Expanding international reach: The integration of SHS Viveon has increased the share of revenue generated outside of France to 65%. With 70% of its workforce now based internationally, Sidetrade demonstrates its ability to scale globally while maintaining strong local client relationships, key to building trust and driving operational efficiency.
Outstanding performance in North America: North America recorded the highest growth in 2024, with a 36% increase, bringing annual revenue to €16.6 million. This strategic market is central to Sidetrade’s ambitions.

Sidetrade continues to strengthen its position among multinationals, with a 44% increase in subscriptions from companies generating over €2.5 billion in revenue. These contracts now represent 50% of total subscriptions. More broadly, companies generating over €1 billion in revenue account for 79% of the portfolio, cementing Sidetrade’s status as a preferred partner for large enterprises.

Gross margin and operating margin: strongly accelerating performance

Strong growth in gross margin: +22% with an increase of €7.8 million

The sustained momentum in subscription growth continued to drive the expansion of the gross margin in 2024. On a like-for-like basis (excluding SHS Viveon), the gross margin rate for subscriptions remained particularly high at 92%, compared to 93% in 2023. SaaS subscriptions now represent 97% of the total gross margin.

Sidetrade’s overall gross margin rate on a like-for-like basis stood at 80%, versus 81% the previous year. Including the impact of SHS Viveon acquisition, the consolidated gross margin rate reached 78% of total revenue for the 2024 fiscal year.

In total, in 2024, Sidetrade delivered an incremental gross margin increase of €7.8 million compared to 2023, representing a +22% year-over-year growth.

Operating margin exceeding 15% of revenue (vs 13% in 2023)

Sidetrade’s operating margin showed a remarkable increase, reaching €8.4 million in 2024, up 45% from €5.8 million in 2023. This profitability is driven by sustained business growth, an excellent gross margin and disciplined cost management.

Thanks to this momentum, Sidetrade has continued its investment strategy, with an increase in expenditure of €5.2 million over 2023, and a particular focus on R&D (+€2.4 million), notably to accelerate the integration of generative AI into its core product offering.

The 2024 operating margin includes a French Research Tax Credit of €2.6 million (versus €2.4 million in 2023) as well as activation of €0.16 million in marginal R&D costs, i.e., 2% of R&D costs for the full year.

As a result, Sidetrade’s operating margin stands at 15% of revenue versus 13% in 2023, representing a 2-point gain year-over-year.

Surge in net profit to €7.9 million: up 40%

Sidetrade’s financial income, recorded as of December 31, 2024, stands at €0.7 million, up significantly from 2023 (€0.4 million). This performance is mostly due to interest earned on short-term investments during the year and the foreign exchange gains realized over the period.

Corporate income tax for 2024 is estimated at €1.1 million, versus €0.6 million in 2023.

All told, Sidetrade’s net profit for 2024 was €7.9 million, an increase of 40%, confirming the solid balance between growth and profitability.

Operating cash flow strongly supporting the acquisition of SHS Viveon

In 2024, Sidetrade generated a solid operating cash flow of €9.6 million, up €3.3 million (excluding the timing impact of the French Research Tax Credit refund). This level of cash generation enabled the Company to fully self-finance the acquisition of SHS Viveon, with a net cash outlay of €5.2 million (€6.6 million for the purchase of shares, offset by €1.4 million in available cash held by SHS Viveon).

As of December 31, 2024, Sidetrade reported €25.2 million in gross cash, up €1.3 million compared to year-end 2023.

In addition, Sidetrade held 85,437 of its own shares, valued at €19.1 million as of December 31, 2024.

Financial debt stood at €7.9 million, down €2.3 million year-over-year. Even after the SHS Viveon acquisition, Sidetrade retains substantial investment capacity, well-positioned to support its continued expansion strategy.

Recognized ESG commitment: Platinum by EthiFinance and Silver by EcoVadis

In 2024, Sidetrade accelerated its transition toward becoming a more responsible company and was awarded a Platinum medal from EthiFinance and a Silver medal from EcoVadis, with respective scores of 84/100 and 70/100. Now ranked among the top 15% of the most highly rated companies audited by EcoVadis, demonstrating its leadership in social responsibility.

These accolades confirm the relevance of Sidetrade’s strategy and its ability to anticipate the environmental and social challenges of tomorrow.

Sidetrade looks ahead to the fiscal year 2025 with confidence and a clear vision, and has the resources to fulfill its ambitions.

Paris, 26 March 2025

Quadient S.A. (Euronext Paris: QDT), an Intelligent automation platform powering secure and sustainable business connections, today announces its 2024 fourth-quarter consolidated sales and full-year results (period ended on 31 January 2025). The full year 2024 results were approved by the Board of Directors during a meeting held on 25 March 2025.

Geoffrey Godet, Chief Executive Officer of Quadient S.A., stated: “We have delivered a solid first year of our Elevate to 2030 strategic plan.

Our Digital Automation platform has reached the record level of c.€270 million in revenue thanks to both the addition of 2,600+ new customers and the contribution from the increased usage and upsell from our existing 16,500 customer base. This strong revenue increase has been delivered together with a significant improvement in profitability with EBITDA rising by 61% to reach €47 million. We are now in a good position to exceed the 20% EBITDA margin ambition set for 2026.

2024 also saw the highest level of Digital cross-sold deals into our Mail customer base while at the same time our Mail business continues to outpace competition. In Lockers, investments made over the past couple of years are paying off, contributing to a strong performance in H2 with double digit growth in revenue thanks to increased usage of the locker base across all regions. In addition, Lockers have reached EBITDA breakeven over the full year and profitability will further improve as we continue to increase the size of our network, grow its usage and take advantage of the recent addition of Package Concierge in the US residential sector.

At Company level, this solid performance translates into a €30 million increase in annual recurring revenue, well on track to deliver the €90 million increase targeted by 2026. Based on this solid start to the strategic plan, we are confident in our ability to continue building a €1bn recurring revenue platform by 2030, generating €250 million current EBIT. Therefore, we are proposing to increase our dividend for the fourth consecutive year in a row, to €0.70.

While macro uncertainties have recently been growing, we are expecting an acceleration of organic growth in revenue and current EBIT in 2025 against 2024 levels.”

Comments on FY 2024 performance

Group sales came in at €1,093 million in FY 2024, a +2.8% increase on a reported basis, and +0.4% organic growth compared to FY 2023, in line with Quadient’s expectations. The reported growth includes a positive currency impact of €2 million and a positive scope effect of €24 million, which is related to the acquisitions of Daylight (September 2023), Frama (February 2024) and Package Concierge (December 2024).

In the fourth quarter of 2024, reported revenue growth stood at +4.1% and organic revenue growth was broadly flat, at -0.2%, compared to Q4 2023.

Subscription-related revenue reached €777 million in FY 2024, growing +1.6% organically, and representing 71% of total sales. This represents a €30 million increase year-on-year (compared to the +€90 million target by 2026), progressing toward the €1 billion subscription-related revenue target by 2030. Performance in the fourth quarter of 2024 was steady, up 2.1% organically against Q4 2023, driven by a double-digit organic increase in Digital and in Lockers. Non-recurring revenue declined by 2.4% organically in FY 2024, including a 5.1% decline in Q4 2024, essentially due to a high comparison basis in Mail hardware sales.

By geography, North America (58% of revenue) continued to outperform other regions with a +2.8% organic growth achieved in FY 2024.

Group total	247	22.6%	244	23.0%

Digital

In FY 2024, revenue from Digital reached €267 million, up 7.7% organically (+10.1% in Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023) and up 9.1% on a reported basis (including the contribution from Daylight) compared to FY 2023.

This solid performance was driven by a strong 10.2% organic growth in subscription-related revenue in FY 2024 (+10.5% in Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023), including a good contribution from North America and continued positive commercial trends across the platform with further solid cross-selling and up-selling. In FY 2024, subscription-related revenue was representing 82% of Digital total sales, a further increase compared to 80% in FY 2023.

At the end of FY 2024, annual recurring revenue (ARR), which is a forward-looking indicator of future subscription-related revenue, reached €232 million, up from €206 million at the end of FY 2023, representing a 12.7% organic growth.

EBITDA for Digital was €47 million in FY 2024, up +61% year-on-year. EBITDA margin was at 17.5%, a strong improvement of 5.7 points compared to FY 2023. In H2 2024, EBITDA margin further improved, reaching 19.1%, after 15.7% in H1 2024. This positive evolution in profitability reflects the combination of subscription-related revenue growth and platform maturity. The Digital solution is well on track to reach its target of EBITDA margin greater than 20% in 2026.

As part of its customer acquisition strategy, Digital continues to demonstrate strong commercial momentum. Over
2,600 new customers were added in FY 2024 thanks in particular to robust cross-selling with Mail, especially in North America. Digital experienced a dynamic fourth quarter, with several key deals secured in the US. Additionally, a new partnership was established with Avaloq to deliver Customer Communications Management capabilities to the financial services industry.

As part of the customer expansion process, the focus continues to be on further increasing up-selling, notably in financial automation process. Several platform innovations have been made, to bring added value to customers, including the ramp-up and extension of Repay for direct supplier invoice payments in the US and Canada, and new electronic invoice formats (UBL, CII, Factur-X) to align with upcoming European e-invoicing regulation.

In Quadient’s core geographies, the addressable demand for its Digital automation platform is set to grow from
c.€6 billion in 2023 to c.€9 billion in 2027, representing a +10% CAGR, creating substantial growth opportunities in both communication and financial automation.

To capture this growth, Quadient is strongly positioned, leveraging on:

a sound base of highly predictable business, with over 16,500 customers, 82% subscription-based revenue,
and a churn rate well below 5%,
a highly recognized platform in financial & communication automation, and 84.5% of Saas customers,
across three regions,
a fully scalable and modulable platform, for small to large customers, driving new client acquisition (+2,600 in FY 2024) and record cross-sell of Digital solutions into Quadient Mail customers and increased upsell opportunities among existing customers,
an efficient go-to-market organisation that driving a 34% year-on-year increase in bookings in Q4 2024 and +12.7% growth of ARR at the end of the year.

Mail

Mail revenue reached €732 million in FY 2024, down 2.5% on an organic basis (-4.6% in Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023). The reported growth stood at +0.4%, including the contribution of Frama.

Hardware sales recorded a minor -1.7% organic decline in FY 2024, despite a 7.3% drop registered in Q4 2024, mainly reflecting a high comparison basis related to deals signed in H2 2023.

Subscription-related revenue (68% of Mail sales) recorded a 2.9% organic decline in FY 2024.

EBITDA for Mail was €200 million for FY 2024. EBITDA margin reached 27.4%, down 2.5 points compared to FY 2023. Mail EBITDA margin was impacted by the dilutive effect of Frama acquisition, including integration costs. Frama’s performance is due to improve significantly from 2025 onward, with positive current EBIT already reached in FY 2024 and payback of the acquisition expected in FY 2025.

Thanks to its strong focus on customer acquisition, Quadient’s Mail business continues to outperform the market. In Q4 2024, commercial performance remained resilient in North America, particularly in highly regulated industries where secure mail communications are key.

As part of the customer expansion focus, outlook remains strong driven by a high customer satisfaction rate of 95.7% and robust cross-selling performance, especially in the US where a record-breaking performance in placement of Digital solutions was recorded in Q4 2024. Mail business also benefited from the positive impact of the ongoing US mailing systems decertification, though this impact is expected to conclude in Q1 2025. Lastly, Quadient aims at upgrading Frama’s installed base and initiating some cross-selling to promote its Digital offer to Frama’s customers.

At the end of January 2025, already 42.4% of Quadient installed base has been upgraded with its newest technology.

Lockers

Lockers revenue reached €94 million in FY 2024, a +4.3% increase on an organic basis, with strong momentum in the latter part of the year (+8.0% in Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023, after a strong Q3 2024, up +14.3% year-on-year) and a +5.7% increase on a reported basis compared to FY 2023, including a marginal contribution from Package Concierge.

Subscription-related revenue was up 11.5% organically in FY 2024 (+19.6% in Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023), benefiting from:

the continued strong volumes ramp up in the British and the French open networks;
the sustained strong momentum in the US, driven by higher monetization of usage fees;
a resilient performance in Japan, despite an unfavorable e-commerce environment.

Overall, subscription-related revenue stood at 64% of total revenue in FY 2024, up from 61% in FY 2023.

Non-recurring revenue (license & hardware sales and professional services) were down 6.8% organically in FY 2024. Hardware sales were still impacted by slower new installations in North America.

Quadient’s global locker installed base reached c.25,700 units at the end of FY 2024, including c. 3,000 units from Package Concierge, vs. c.20,200 units at the end of FY 2023. This is reflecting an acceleration in the pace of installation of new lockers, notably in the UK, fueled by the partnerships signed by Quadient to host parcel lockers in new suitable locations.

EBITDA for Lockers was above breakeven, at €1 million in FY 2024. EBITDA margin stood at 0.6%, up by 3.6 points compared to FY 2023. This significant profitability improvement, illustrated by a 6.7% EBITDA margin in H2 2024, was driven by growing recurring revenue and increased usage. Additionally, the revised commercial agreement with Yamato for the Japanese installed base was implemented at the beginning of H2 2023.

As part of the customer acquisition focus, Quadient is accelerating the pace of installation for new lockers in its open networks in Europe, mostly in France and the UK, with installed base up 145% year-on-year. This is supported by the additional deals signed for premium locations (including Morrisons Daily Stores and ScotRail…). Additionally, the trend for new installations in North America has turned positive in Q4, where market share leadership position in Residences and Universities remains robust.

As part of the customer expansion strategy, volumes from both pick-up and drop-off in European open networks saw a significant increase, growing sevenfold between Q4 2023 and Q4 2024. The momentum in North America for the locker network, particularly across the multifamily sector and higher education campuses was strong in Q4 2024. In Japan, macroeconomic conditions have impacted parcel volumes, but new initiatives, such as the new partnership with Japan Post, are aimed at driving volume growth and increasing adoption.

EBITDA grew by 3.0% organically, driven by strong growth of 80% in Digital and improved profitability in Lockers, which more than compensated for the softer EBITDA performance in Mail. The EBITDA margin reached 22.6% in FY 2024. It was almost stable compared to FY 2023: despite the impact of the change in revenue mix and the dilutive effect of Frama acquisition, the Group EBITDA margin was supported by significant profitability gains in Digital and Lockers.

Depreciation and amortization stood at €101 million in FY 2024, compared to €98 million in FY 2023. This slightly higher depreciation mainly reflects the increase in Lockers’ asset base.

Current operating income (current EBIT) reached €146 million in FY 2024 compared to €147 million in FY 2023, up 2.2% on an organic basis. Current EBIT margin stood at 13.4% of sales in FY 2024 compared to 13.8% in FY 2023.

Optimization costs and other operating expenses stood at €23 million in FY 2024, versus €15 million in FY 2023. This increase mainly relates to the write-off of an IT project, additional office optimization and Frama restructuring costs.

Consequently, EBIT reached €123 million in FY 2024, versus €132 million recorded in FY 2023.

Net attributable income

Net cost of debt was up from €29 million in FY 2023 to €39 million in FY 2024, impacted by higher interest rates. The currency gains & losses and other financial items was broadly flat in FY 2024, compared to a loss of €2 in FY 2023. Overall, net financial result was a loss of €39 million in FY 2024 compared to a loss of €31 million in FY 2023.

Income tax expense was stable year-on-year at €17 million.

Net income from discontinued operations of the Mail Italian subsidiary was null in FY 2024, compared to a €14 million loss in FY 2023. This loss included exceptional charges related to the sale process for this subsidiary, which was sold to a local mail distribution company in October 2024.

Net attributable income after minority interests amounted to €66 million in FY 2024 compared to €69 million in FY 2023.

Earnings per share⁽²⁾ stood at €1.94 in FY 2024 compared to €2.02 in FY 2023. The fully diluted earnings per share⁽²⁾ was €1.94 in FY 2024 compared to €2.01 in FY 2023.

Cash flow generation

The change in working capital was a net cash inflow of €9 million in FY 2024 compared to a net cash outflow of €6 million in FY 2023, mostly reflecting the positive impact from timing on prepaid expenses and customers deposits.

The leasing portfolio and other financing services stood at €623 million as of 31 January 2025, compared to €598 million as of 31 January 2024, up on an organic basis (i.e. excluding currency impact of €18 million) for the first time in several years thanks to good hardware placements in Mail. While generating future subscription-related revenue, this increase in lease receivables resulting from the good performance in the placement of new equipment translates into a cash outflow of
€7 million in FY 2024. At the end of FY 2024, the default rate of the leasing portfolio stood at around 1.1% compared to c.1.3% at the end of FY 2023.

Interest and taxes paid increased to €67 million in FY 2024 versus the amount of €55 million paid in FY 2023. The difference was mostly explained by higher interest rates in FY 2024.

Capital expenditure reached €108 million in FY 2024, up €7 million compared to FY 2023, mostly due to UK locker open network deployment. Capex for Digital reached €24 million in FY 2024, slightly up compared to €22 million in FY 2023 and was mainly focused on R&D and platform development. Capex for Mail remained at fairly high level of €51 million
(vs. €53 million in FY 2023), due to continued high placement of machines related to the US decertification, which is expected to end in Q1 2025. Capex for Lockers increased from €26 million to €33 million to support the ramp-up of the deployment of the open network in the UK. The sale of Frama real estate in Switzerland generated €6 million in cash inflows in FY 2024.

All in all, cash flow after capital expenditure (free cash flow) reached €66 million in FY 2024, compared to €64 million in FY 2023.

Leverage and liquidity position

Net debt stood at €741 million as of 31 January 2025, a slight increase against €709 million as of 31 January 2024. In FY 2024, Quadient successfully raised approximately €325 million in new facilities, including the following transactions in H2 2024:

in October 2024, the Company secured EBRD financing, including a €25 million Schuldschein;
in December 2024, the Company secured a USD 50 million bank loan;
in January 2025, Quadient further strengthened its financial position with the issuance of a USD 100 million USPP.

These new facilities enabled Quadient to repay post-closing its €260 million bond due in February 2025 and settle the repayment of Schuldschein loans for €29 million, also due in early 2025. As a result of these transactions, the Company’s average debt maturity has been extended to four years as of the end of February 2025, compared to three years at the end of FY 2023.

The leverage ratio (net debt/EBITDA) remained broadly stable at 3.0x⁽³⁾ as of 31 January 2025 compared to 2.9x⁽³⁾ as of 31 January 2024. Excluding leasing, Quadient leverage ratio remained stable at 1.7x⁽³⁾ as of 31 January 2025, despite the acquisitions of Frama and Package Concierge in 2024, as well as the implementation of a share buyback programs.

As of 31 January 2025, the Group had a strong liquidity position of €667 million, split between €367 million in cash and a €300 million undrawn credit line, maturing in 2029.

Shareholders’ equity stood at €1,113 million as of 31 January 2025 compared to €1,069 million as of 31 January 2024. The gearing ratio⁽⁴⁾ stood at 66.6% as of 31 January 2025.

SHAREHOLDER’ RETURN

Proposed dividend for FY 2024 stands at €0.70 per share, representing an 8% increase against FY 2023, and a payout ratio of 36.1% of net income, higher than Quadient’s minimum 20% pay-out ratio of net income as per the Group’s dividend policy. This represents a €0.05 year-on-year increase, for the fourth consecutive year. The dividend is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting, scheduled for 13 June 2025, and will be paid in cash in one instalment on 6 August 2025.

In addition, Quadient’s announced in September 2024 the launch of a share buyback program for a total consideration of up to €30 million. To date, €10 million worth of shares have been repurchased, with the program set to be executed over an
18-month⁽⁵⁾ period. This operation demonstrates Quadient’s confidence in the value creation potential of its “Elevate to 2030” strategic plan, its ability to reach its FY 2026 leverage ratio target⁽⁶⁾ and is in line with the capital allocation policy of the Company, while improving shareholders’ return.

OUTLOOK

The evolving dynamics within Quadient’s business portfolio, characterized by strong growth in Digital and Lockers revenue alongside a moderate decline in Mail revenue, will naturally drive a year-on-year acceleration in the Company’s total revenue growth.

As Digital and Lockers continue to expand their share of Quadient’s revenue and profit, while simultaneously improving their profitability, this shift is expected to contribute to a higher growth in current EBIT

As a result, Quadient targets an acceleration in organic revenue growth and in current EBIT organic growth in 2025 compared to 2024.

Quadient also confirms its 3-year guidance for the 2024-2026 period of minimum 1.5% organic revenue CAGR and minimum 3% organic current EBIT CAGR.

MIL-OSI: Cheems: The Resilient Memecoin That Rose From the Ashes

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

NEW YORK, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a remarkable turn of events, $CHEEMS has emerged as one of the most resilient and triumphant memecoins in history. Overcoming early struggles, lack of ecosystem support, and technical limitations, Cheems has defied the odds and today achieved a milestone: the circulating market cap of $CHEEMS has flipped $ZK, the blockchain it originally launched on. This groundbreaking moment marks a defining chapter in the memecoin revolution.

From its inception, Cheems faced challenges that would have led most projects to failure. The attempt to open-source the project was obstructed by compatibility issues with zkSync, a hurdle that many would have seen as insurmountable. Yet, rather than succumbing to adversity, the Cheems community persevered, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to its vision.

Christian, the whale and core developer of Cheems, reflects on this journey:

“I still remember the tough times our community had in the beginning, when no one cared, no support from the ecosystem. @LordCheems_bsc is a project that failed to open source due to compatibility issues with @zksync. I think most people would have rug-pulled, but $CHEEMS survived and is making its own history. Background, technique, VCs—it doesn’t matter. What matters is the spirit of never giving up and being responsible. We are all CHEEMS. We are making history.”

The rise of $CHEEMS is not just a testament to its strong community but also an embodiment of the true spirit of decentralization. Unlike traditional projects that rely on venture capital and corporate backing, Cheems is a fair-launch project that has relied solely on its community’s belief and resilience.

Today, while the market cap of zkSync sits at $500M, Cheems remains under $50M—yet its momentum is undeniable. Long-term holders and early believers recall the struggles of Cheems before its migration to BNB Chain. The initial airdrop attracted many retail investors who were drawn by zkSync’s promise, but as ecosystem narratives shifted, Cheems was left without institutional support or a clear leader. What seemed like an inevitable demise instead turned into a rebirth, fueled by the community’s determination to carve its own path.

With the memecoin sector experiencing a new wave of enthusiasm, many are beginning to recognize Cheems as the biggest wealth creation opportunity of this cycle. The project’s resurgence has established a renewed sense of faith and unity among its supporters, proving that true success is not dictated by technical backing or venture capital endorsements, but by the strength of its believers.

Cheems has rewritten history—and this is just the beginning.

About Cheems
Cheems is a community-driven memecoin that has defied the odds and established itself as a leading force in the decentralized finance and cryptocurrency space. Initially launched on zkSync, Cheems faced numerous challenges, from technical limitations to a lack of institutional support. However, through the unwavering dedication of its community, Cheems survived and thrived, evolving into a symbol of resilience and fair-launch success. With a commitment to decentralization, innovation, and financial inclusivity, Cheems continues to make history in the crypto space.

MIL-OSI: Electric Tri-Converter Demo Results a Breakthrough for Aether Aurora™ SAF Solution

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

CHICAGO, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aether Fuels (Aether), a sustainable fuels technology company, today reported exciting demonstration results for the electric Tri-Converter technology embedded in its proprietary Aether Aurora™ solution which aims to transform the economics of sustainable fuels and accelerate large-scale deployment. This electric Tri-Converter demonstration has a capacity that is more than 50 times larger than the previously demonstrated pilot plant. The results represent a breakthrough for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.

The electric Tri-Converter converts waste carbon feedstocks into the syngas that supplies the downstream Fischer-Tropsch (FT) unit in the Aether Aurora process. The purpose of the demo was to prove that the electric Tri-Converter can continuously produce syngas at an increasingly larger scale using a mix of real-world feedstocks, including biogenic CO2, renewable natural gas (RNG), and clean hydrogen. The program is part of Aether’s program to build and operate a fully integrated demonstration plant (the “Demo Plant”) producing more than one barrel per day of sustainable fuels. Aether plans to complete the construction of the Demo Plant later this year.

The demonstrator is a joint project between Aether and GTI Energy. Aether Aurora integrates technology elements first developed by GTI Energy in a gas-to-liquids program, which is supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Aether has licensed the relevant technologies from GTI Energy and leverages the laboratory and demonstration spaces at its Chicago-area campus. Aether has subsequently taken over responsibility for future Aether Aurora development and commercialization, including expanding its R&D team.

The results of the demonstrator validate that the electric Tri-Converter is ready for integration into the Demo Plant. More critically, they demonstrate the solution’s capability to use a wide range of abundant feedstocks to create sustainable fuels—a breakthrough that can potentially shatter a key barrier to scaling production.

This milestone was celebrated yesterday at the Aether and GTI Energy demonstrator site where Aether investors and feedstock executives joined federal, state and local officials to view the technology, meet the team, tour Aether’s R&D center and GTI Energy lab spaces, and learn how the innovations will accelerate the transition to sustainable fuels. State Senator Laura Murphy (IL-28^th) was on hand to deliver opening remarks.

The Syngas Generation Engine for Next-Gen Sustainable Fuels

Aether Aurora optimizes the well-established FT process to create drop-in liquid hydrocarbons leveraging its novel electric Tri-Converter and Upgrading technologies. As the solution’s “syngas generation engine”, the electric Tri-Converter improves and streamlines the process where feedstocks and the internally recycled downstream byproducts are converted into syngas. This is achieved via novel catalysts and a reactor that uses electricity instead of combustion to generate the reaction heat. Where typical syngas production requires multiple reactors to convert the same mix of inputs, Aether Aurora employs just one. The streamlined equipment configuration reduces CAPEX while the electrification innovations generate higher energy efficiency and yields than a conventional combustion reactor.

Aether’s demonstrator is supported by suppliers that include bp for RNG, Invenergy for clean hydrogen production, and Certarus Ltd for low carbon energy supply and logistics.

State Senator Murphy remarked: “The road to the future is paved in sustainable practices, and GTI Energy and Aether Fuels are at the forefront of this future. They are leading the way in developing energy solutions that will transform how we power industries, transportation and everyday life. Their innovation not only drives us forward, it drives economic growth that supports every hardworking Illinoisan.”

Aether CEO, Conor Madigan, said: “This is an exciting milestone for Aether and a tribute to our R&D experts and our partners at GTI Energy. The aviation and ocean shipping industries need affordable sustainable fuels at scale and the electric Tri-Converter technology is a transformative step forward. It drives critical process simplification and enables cost-efficient feedstock flexibility. When integrated into our Aether Aurora solution we’re making SAF production more scalable and cost effective.”

GTI Energy’s VP of Carbon Management and Conversion, Don Stevenson, said: “GTI Energy has a long history of pioneering advanced energy solutions, and we’re proud to see technologies incubated in our labs being integrated into solutions for scaling low-emission fuels. Through collaboration with DOE and companies like Aether Fuels, GTI Energy helps unlock the potential of waste carbon streams while creating economically viable fuels solutions for industries.”

Elie Fayad, Aether’s Senior Director of R&D, noted: “Today’s milestone represents nearly a decade of dedicated innovation and significant R&D investment by GTI Energy and Aether Fuels. The electric Tri-Converter is one of the breakthroughs in our Aether Aurora solution that drastically improves SAF economics and brings large-scale deployment within reach.”

Aether Aurora is trademarked by Aether Fuels.

MIL-OSI: Dinewise, Inc. (DWIS) Releases New Corporate Structure

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Dinewise files for Name Change and negotiates with Acquisition Targets

ATLANTA, GA, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dinewise, Inc (OTC PINK-DWIS) (referred to as “Dinewise”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) A leading national technology conglomerate specializing in automotive, fintech, and entertainment solutions officially announces its rebranding and strategic acquisition targets today.

The Dinewise Board of Directors has approved a corporate name change, which is currently being filed with the State of Nevada. The company will now be known as Superstar Platforms, Inc. (“Superstar”), in honor of its patriarch, Mel Farr, Sr., who was widely recognized as the Superstar Dealer. Mel Farr, Sr. embodied the American Dream, rising from humble beginnings in Beaumont, Texas, to becoming the largest African American business in the country during the 1990s. He was a pioneer in the automotive and retail industries, creating opportunities for countless others. His iconic jingle, “Mel Farr, the Superstar, for a Farr Better Deal,” still resonates with many, even decades later.

Superstar Platforms will serve as the parent company that owns and controls a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries across various industries. Growth will primarily be driven through strategic acquisitions. The company is finalizing its negotiations with TitlePal, a fintech company that has developed an innovative online solution for Title Pawn transactions, and anticipates closing the acquisition in Q2/ 2025 with minimal shareholder dilution. Additionally, Superstar is in advanced discussions to become the exclusive North American distributor for a multinational automotive company.

PawnTrust, the company’s specialized marketplace for pawn shops, will now operate as a subsidiary of Superstar. The platform is scheduled to launch in June 2025.

“My father frequently quoted Lucius Annaeus Seneca, saying, ‘If a man does not know to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.’ The corporate structure we’ve built serves as the foundation for our success. With this structure in place, we can intensely drive our initiatives forward,” Michael Farr, Chief Executive Officer.

Superstar Platforms, Inc. is now positioned to file a registration statement, moving swiftly toward becoming a fully SEC-reporting company.

About Superstar Platforms

Superstar Platforms, a leading national technology conglomerate, owns PawnTrust— a specialized marketplace designed exclusively for the approximately 11,000 pawn shops across the country. The online marketplace (www.pawntrust.com) digitizes the inventory using advanced image recognition algorithms to automate item descriptions of the participating pawn shops and markets them on a national scale. The marketplace contains cutting-edge technology that streamlines the borrowing, buying, and bartering transactions typically found at a pawn shop. The platform plans to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize pricing, reduce fraud, and create personalized search recommendations to enhance the customer’s experience. These enhancements let consumers experience a frictionless shopping experience on their mobile app that gives them instant access to this nationwide inventory of pawn shops. Not only does this provide a more efficient way for consumers to shop, eliminating the need to visit multiple stores, but it also amplifies the reach of individual pawn shop owners. By joining the PawnTrust- ‘Pawn Partners’ network, shop owners gain access to a broader audience, enhancing their visibility and sales opportunities. This innovative approach aligns customer convenience with business growth, reshaping how people interact with the pawn industry. Consumers that purchase items outside of their local area will have their items conveniently shipped to them. As the intermediary in each transaction, PawnTrust earns a fee on every item sold in the marketplace. Many of these local pawn shops lack an online presence or the capital to market their inventory on a national scale. By bridging this gap, PawnTrust opens up opportunities for incremental sales from a wider buying base, effectively transforming the pawn shop and micro-lending industries. This model not only supports local businesses but also extends their reach, driving growth and innovation within the market.”

UW-Eau Claire has produced two Rhodes scholars since 2005 and leads master’s level institutions in Wisconsin and Minnesota in the number of Fulbright students.

In addition to UW-Eau Claire’s national recognition, Schmidt has been a stellar fundraiser and visionary for elevating academic excellence. He recently brought in one of the largest gifts in Wisconsin history at $70 million to help construct an indoor athletics facility and event center. Even more relatable to JMU, they are set to complete a 330,000-square-foot science and health sciences building through an innovative public-private funding partnership.

Previous tenures included service as vice president for university advancement at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota, and vice president for student affairs at Riverland Community College in Austin, Minnesota. He holds a doctorate in educational policy and administration from the University of Minnesota, a master’s degree in business administration from the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and a bachelor’s degree in political science from Winona State University.

Schmidt’s appointment will begin July 1, 2025.

“I am honored to serve as the next president of James Madison University,” said Schmidt. “Over three decades in public higher education has prepared me to lead this great institution into the future, and I am committed to leading JMU’s vision and strategic direction, enhancing academic excellence and research, and ensuring an exceptional student experience,” added Schmidt.

Former JMU President Jonathan Alger announced in March 2024 that he would be stepping down as president and accepted the presidency at American University in Washington, D.C. Charlie King became JMU’s interim president on July 1, 2024.

“It is an honor to welcome Jim into the JMU community,” said King, the current interim president of JMU. “I look forward to our partnership in the coming months as we will collectively work to ensure this transition continues to be seamless. I take great pride in this institution and will do everything I can to support the board and our new president during this transition.”

Kay Coles James, chair of the search committee, said Schmidt’s strategic vision, leadership and passion for higher education were among the factors that led to his selection as the next JMU president.

“Jim Schmidt’s commitment to JMU’s values, bold vision-casting, student-centered outlook, and his community-building experience will be invaluable assets to lead JMU boldly into the future,” said James.

Rector of JMU’s Board of Visitors Suzanne Obenshain said, “We are incredibly grateful for Charlie King’s leadership during this transitional moment – particularly his never-ending commitment to JMU. Charlie has been a steady leader, and his legacy is firmly rooted throughout our campus.” 
 
“It is an exciting time in the university’s history to welcome  Jim into the JMU community. I am confident his leadership and skillset will continue JMU’s positive momentum into the future with an entrepreneurial mindset that will encourage innovation, creativity, collaboration and big thinking,” added Obenshain.

Schmidt has been active in academic and athletics circles at the national level.

Ted Mitchell, president of the American Council on Education, a major coordinating body for the nation’s colleges and universities, said, “Higher education shapes the world for the better and helps to build America. James Madison University’s story is one of insistent progress, and this great institution will continue to prepare enlightened and productive citizens who will be well-equipped to make lasting, positive impacts on our country and beyond under Jim Schmidt’s steadfast watch.”

American Association of State Colleges and Universities President and CEO Charles L. Welch said, “James Madison University has long been a leader in driving transformative civic engagement and preparing its student body to be active and responsible participants in a representative democracy. Jim Schmidt is the perfect person to take that ethos one step further and ensure future Dukes are actively engaged on the local level and ready to impact our world for the common good.”

The search committee thoroughly reviewed and rated candidates for consideration and was assisted by the search firm Russell Reynolds Associates, ensuring a comprehensive and fair assessment of each candidate’s qualifications and alignment with JMU’s needs and aspirations.

MIL-OSI: LambdaTest’s Chandni Chopra Wins 2025 DE&I Leadership Award for Championing Inclusive Innovation
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Delhi/San Francisco, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LambdaTest, a unified agentic AI and cloud engineering platform is proud to announce that Chandni Chopra, VP of People and Culture, has been honored with the DE&I in Tech Leadership Award at The RISING 2025, India’s biggest summit celebrating women in tech and AI, hosted by Analytics India Magazine. The award ceremony took place on March 21, 2025, in Bengaluru.

The RISING 2025 shines a spotlight on changemakers who are reimagining what inclusive leadership looks like. The DE&I in Tech Leadership Award recognizes individuals who champion equity, actively dismantle barriers and create opportunities for underrepresented communities in the tech ecosystem.

Over the past five years, Chandni Chopra has been the heart of LambdaTest’s culture journey—moving beyond traditional HR practices to build a workplace where inclusion shows up in daily behavior. She led the creation of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) like The Phoenix Project for women, which provided mentorship opportunities, mental wellness support, and a safe space for honest dialogue. Through carefully curated self-care journals and mental health workshops, women across LambdaTest found new confidence and connection within their teams.

Chandni also spearheaded LambdaTest’s Diversity & Inclusion Learning Initiative—a comprehensive framework that introduced cultural sensitization workshops, policy reforms for accessibility, and a globally compliant DEI charter backed by a dedicated budget. These efforts have elevated LambdaTest’s workplace into one where equity is not aspirational—it’s operational.

“What began as a vision to create an inclusive, empowering environment has become the very foundation of LambdaTest’s culture,” said Chandni Chopra, VP of People and Culture, LambdaTest. “This award isn’t just a personal milestone—it’s a collective win for every voice that’s been amplified, every stereotype we’ve challenged, and every door we’ve opened for others to walk through.”

LambdaTest’s commitment to DE&I goes far beyond policy. As a company, it believes innovation thrives when everyone belongs. The company’s initiatives are embedded in its DNA—whether it’s inclusive hiring, equitable growth paths, or safe spaces for open conversations. The result is a workplace where authenticity is valued and diverse perspectives lead to transformative outcomes.

“At LambdaTest, we’ve always believed that building great products starts with building inclusive teams,” said Asad Khan, CEO and Founder of LambdaTest. “Chandni’s recognition is a testament to the culture we’re proud of—a place where people feel seen, heard, and empowered. This award is just the beginning.”

MIL-OSI: Digicel and Caban Energy Combat Climate Change With Solar Rollout

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

KINGSTON, Jamaica, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a powerful statement of its commitment to environmental responsibility and combatting climate change, Digicel today announced a partnership with Caban Energy (Caban) which will diversify its energy source using solar technology and reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while significantly reducing operational costs.

This partnership in renewable energy infrastructure will support the Caribbean region in achieving its sustainability goals as outlined in the Paris Agreement. As a leader in renewable energy, Caban is working to deploy solar energy and storage solutions on cell towers across Jamaica for Digicel, both in collaboration with Phoenix Tower International (PTI) and independently.

Providing a reliable, sustainable and cost-effective alternative power source for cell tower, data centers and other critical infrastructure locations, solar energy and storage solutions enhance network reliability, energy security and communications resilience. By integrating renewable energy into its network once fully deployed, Digicel will reduce GHG emissions by over 38,674 tons of CO2e per year or 580,109 tons of CO2e for the life of the project.

Commenting on the partnership, Digicel Group CEO, Marcelo Cataldo, said; “As a meaningful expression of our Connecting. Empowering mission, our commitment to ESG is fundamental to who we are as a business. With robust social and governance programmes in place, we’re now making tangible progress in our environmental agenda as we drive multiple benefits through the deployment of sustainable, renewable and cost-effective energy solutions. Jamaica is our first market with Caban and is the shape of things to come with the expectation that more of our 25 markets will come on stream in the coming months.”

Stephen Murad, Digicel Jamaica CEO, elaborates; “In the wake of Hurricane Beryl in July 2024 which caused significant damage to the south coast of Jamaica, and in particular to the power supplies that we rely on to run our telecoms infrastructure, we made a commitment to the Prime Minister of Jamaica that we would invest in renewable energy. We’re proud that just eight months later, we’re honouring that commitment and actively stepping up to help combat climate change.”

Alexandra Rasch, CEO of Caban, commented; “This is about building a sustainable future for all. With Caribbean countries at the forefront of the negative effects of climate change, the region’s energy landscape is evolving. Mindful of its ESG commitments, Digicel is partnering with us to harness renewable energy sources to benefit those same countries and enable their progress towards achieving national and global climate targets. It makes for an exciting future.”

CHICAGO, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Neponset Rowing Club collaborated in a volunteer initiative alongside the SBB Research Group Foundation, which partners with local nonprofits through its Champion A Charity Program.  

The Neponset Rowing Club is strengthening its mission to make rowing more accessible to a diverse range of community members. As a community-focused rowing program, the club is dedicated to sharing the joy and benefits of rowing with as many people as possible, regardless of their background or experience.

An SBB Research Group Foundation volunteer, Robert Davis, played a role in supporting this mission. Davis collaborated with the Neponset Rowing Club board to develop a comprehensive year-end marketing strategy. This new approach included refreshed messaging and a communication strategy that has already resulted in increased website visits, higher subscriptions to the club’s mailing list, and an improvement in their email click-through rates.

“Rowing has a transformative effect for young adults who may not thrive in typical sports, and bringing more awareness to the Neponset Rowing Club will allow for a tremendous impact for those individuals,” said Davis, reflecting on the project’s importance. By improving their visibility and outreach, the Neponset Rowing Club is better positioned to reach even more individuals and share the benefits of rowing with a wider community.

MIL-OSI: MissionSquare Retirement Earns 2024 Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation™ for the second year in a row

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Washington, D.C., March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cigna Healthcare has selected MissionSquare, an organization that advocates for retirement security and financial well-being, as a recipient of their 2024 Gold Healthy Workforce Designation for demonstrating a strong commitment to improving the health and vitality of its employees through a workplace well-being program.

The award highlighted MissionSquare’s senior leadership for actively endorsing wellness initiatives. The program effectively promotes vitality on multiple fronts, employing various communication methods such as departmental and leadership meetings. To encourage participation, MissionSquare also provides incentives for engaging in wellness activities.

“We are proud to have achieved Cigna’s Gold designation, highlighting our work to promote employee health and well-being,” said Lisa Raff, Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer at MissionSquare. “This recognition reflects our ongoing efforts to provide activities, tools, and resources to help our employees thrive, and we’re honored to be acknowledged by Cigna.”

MissionSquare’s innovative well-being program takes a holistic approach to employee health and productivity. Going beyond standard paid time off (PTO), the comprehensive initiative emphasizes relaxation, personal days, and holidays, aiming to cultivate a healthier and more productive workforce. By prioritizing the overall health of their team, MissionSquare not only elevates their employees’ quality of life but also establishes a new industry standard.

Vitality is defined as the capacity to pursue life with health, strength and energy. It is both a driver and an outcome of health and work/life engagement, and Cigna Healthcare believes it is not only essential to individuals, but also a catalyst for business and community growth. Research conducted as part of the Evernorth Vitality Index confirms that those with higher vitality experience better mental and physical health along with higher levels of job satisfaction and performance. An opportunity remains for employers as less than one in five U.S. adults report having high levels of vitality. A workplace well-being program that takes a comprehensive approach to employee health can be critical in boosting vitality and building a workforce that experiences better overall health and job productivity.

“Higher vitality is linked to a more motivated, connected, and productive workforce,” said Kari Knight Stevens, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, The Cigna Group. “Employers that foster vitality will fuel a healthier workplace and drive business and economic growth. That’s why we’re proud to recognize employers for their efforts to prioritize multiple dimensions of wellness, build a culture of health, and boost employee engagement.”

The Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation evaluates organizations based on the core components of their well-being program, including leadership and culture, program foundations and execution, policies and accommodations, and additional areas. Organizations recognized with this designation set the standard of excellence for organizational health and vitality.

MIL-OSI: Trade Crypto with 100x Leverage and No KYC – Get Double Deposit Bonus and $50 Instantly on BexBack

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

SINGAPORE, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With Bitcoin’s price fluctuating below $100,000, many analysts predict a prolonged period of high volatility in the crypto market. Holding spot positions may struggle to generate short-term profits in such conditions. As a result, 100x leverage futures trading has become the preferred tool for seasoned investors looking to maximize potential gains in this volatile market. BexBack Exchange is ramping up its efforts to offer traders unmatched promotional packages. The platform now features a 100% deposit bonus, a $50 welcome bonus for new users, and 100x leverage on cryptocurrency trading, providing exceptional opportunities for investors.

What Is 100x Leverage and How Does It Work?

Simply put, 100x leverage allows you to open larger trading positions with less capital. For example:

Suppose the Bitcoin price is $100,000 that day, and you open a long contract with 1 BTC. After using 100x leverage, the transaction amount is equivalent to 100 BTC.

One day later, if the price rises to $105,000, your profit will be (105,000 – 100,000) * 100 BTC / 100,000 = 5 BTC, a yield of up to 500%.

With BexBack’s deposit bonus

BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus. If the initial investment is 2 BTC, the profit will increase to 10 BTC, and the return on investment will double to 1000%.

Note: Although leveraged trading can magnify profits, you also need to be wary of liquidation risks.

How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work?
The deposit bonus from BexBack cannot be directly withdrawn but can be used to open larger positions and increase potential profits. Additionally, during significant market fluctuations, the bonus can serve as extra margin, effectively reducing the risk of liquidation.

About BexBack?

BexBack is a leading cryptocurrency derivatives platform that offers 100x leverage on BTC, ETH, ADA, SOL, and XRP futures contracts. It is headquartered in Singapore with offices in Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Argentina.

MIL-OSI: Lotlinx Survey Reveals Growing Adoption and Benefits of Machine-Driven Technologies in Auto Dealerships

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

DETROIT, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lotlinx, the auto industry’s leading VIN-specific data company for dealership inventory management, announced today results of its latest industry survey, highlighting the increasing adoption and significant benefits of machine-driven technologies among auto retailers. The online survey, conducted in March 2025, was presented to more than 2,500 dealers across the U.S. and reveals both the advantages for early adopters and the need for further industry-wide implementation. Click here to see the full survey results infographic.

The survey found that nearly 30% of dealers are currently using machine learning, while another 30% are utilizing predictive modeling, up from 21% from a survey conducted last November. For vehicle pricing decisions, approximately 40% of dealers are leveraging these technologies for both new and used vehicles, with a majority (over 60%) finding them effective in optimizing pricing strategies. However, one in ten dealers reported not using any machine-driven technologies, indicating room for growth.

In terms of inventory management, half of dealers (50%) are currently employing machine-driven technologies for inventory decisioning. The use of these technologies for inventory carryover decisioning is particularly noteworthy, with 80% of dealers using them on a daily or weekly basis.

Dealers using machine-driven technologies reported several key benefits, especially in the areas of decisioning and pricing results. Of the 70% of dealers who have been able to compare the outcomes of machine-assisted decisioning versus human decisioning, 70% said machines have proven to be more successful in inventory management and pricing. In fact, more than half of those dealers said the machine decisioning had improved the per vehicle profit percentage between 2% – 8%. Another 10% said the machine decisioning had improved this between 8% and more than 10%.

“These survey results reveal a positive shift in the industry, with many dealers now reaping the benefits of machine-driven technologies,” said Len Short, Executive Chairman of Lotlinx. “While there’s still room for growth, we’re encouraged by the increased adoption and the tangible improvements dealers are experiencing in areas such as inventory management and profitability.”
