Liquidia Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

YUTREPIA™ surpasses 900 unique patient prescriptions and 550 patient starts within 11 weeks after approval to treat PAH and PH-ILD Positive interim data from ASCENT trial reinforces YUTREPIA’s tolerability and efficacy profile in PH-ILD with median improvement in six-minute walk distance of 31.5 meters at Week 16 Company to host webcast today at 8:30 a.m. ET MORRISVILLE, N.C., Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liquidia Corporation (NASDAQ: LQDA), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for patients with rare cardiopulmonary diseases, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. The company will also host a webcast at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on August 12, 2025, to review financial performance and provide a corporate update. Dr. Roger Jeffs, Liquidia’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “The second quarter was a defining period for Liquidia with the FDA approval and rapid commercial launch of YUTREPIA™ (treprostinil) inhalation powder. More than 350 physicians across the country have already prescribed YUTREPIA to treat patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), including those new to prostacyclin treatment or transitioning from Tyvaso®, Tyvaso DPI®, and even from oral prostacyclins. In the 11 weeks since approval, we’ve recorded over 900 unique patient prescriptions leading to more than 550 patient starts. This initial demand has exceeded my own high expectations. The robust and increasing uptake reflects a clear need for more flexible and better-tolerated prostacyclin therapies. We’ve already seen broad demand across both indications from both cardiologists and pulmonologists. Notably, this early momentum has been achieved ahead of full payor adoption, highlighting the potential for accelerating growth as we continue to expand market access during the third and fourth quarters. In addition, we have continued to build differentiated clinical evidence of YUTREPIA’s safety and efficacy to treat PH-ILD through the ongoing, open-label ASCENT study, which fully enrolled last March (n=54). Interim analyses of eligible patients at Week 8 and Week 16 reinforced YUTREPIA’s tolerability profile at higher doses and showed sustained median improvements in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) of 21.5 meters at Week 8 and 31.5 meters at Week 16. Importantly, patients titrated to a median dose of 132.5mcg at Week 8 and 159mcg at Week 16 with no change in mean cough score. There were no discontinuations stemming from drug-related adverse events, such as cough or throat irritation. More detailed clinical findings will be presented at medical conferences in September and October of 2025. With this strong early commercial execution, compelling clinical evidence, and financial flexibility through our recent funding under our financing agreement (HCR Agreement) with Healthcare Royalty (HCRx), we are well positioned to scale access to YUTREPIA, expand our clinical programs, and deliver durable value for patients and shareholders.” Second Quarter and Recent Corporate Highlights On May 23, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved YUTREPIA™ (treprostinil) inhalation powder to treat adults diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) to improve exercise ability. In the first week of June 2025, Liquidia commercially launched YUTREPIA and initiated shipments to U.S. customers. Unique patient prescriptions and starts have accelerated month-over-month since launch. As of August 8, specialty pharmacies reported more than 900 unique patient prescriptions leading to more than 550 patient starts. During the first six weeks post-launch, 75% of prescriptions converted to treatment starts. On June 16, 2025, Liquidia signed a lease for approximately 70,000 square feet of additional manufacturing space to support continued growth. Targeted for occupancy in 2026, this state-of-the-art facility will include production space to house additional PRINT manufacturing lines, analytical labs, and cleanrooms. On June 23, 2025, Liquidia received $50.0 million under its sixth amendment to the HCR Agreement following the first commercial sale of YUTREPIA. In July and August of 2025, the company analyzed interim data from the 52-week, prospective, open-label ASCENT study which fully enrolled 54 patients with PHILD. Safety data and observed exploratory efficacy data was summarized for Week 8 and Week 16 timepoints. The tolerability profile of YUTREPIA in PH-ILD was consistent with initial observations in the first 20 patients at Week 8. Most patients continued on treatment to Week 16 with 10 of 54 (18.5%) discontinuing the study. There were no discontinuations stemming from drug-related adverse events, such as cough or throat irritation. Of those patients who reported a treatment related cough, 24 of 26 patients reported a mild cough and 2 patients reported a moderate cough. The mean daytime simplified cough scores remained essentially unchanged from baseline through Week 16, suggesting the cough tended to be transient nature. Dose titration remains steady, with a median dose of 132.5 mcg QID at Week 8, and 159 mcg QID at Week 16. The highest exposure at Week 16 was 318 mcg QID. The median improvements in six-minute walk distance were 21.5 meters at Week 8 and 31.5 meters at Week 16. Release of detailed clinical data is targeted for medical conferences in September and October of 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Cash and cash equivalents totaled $173.4 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $176.5 million as of December 31, 2024. Product revenue, net, was $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Following receipt of full FDA approval for YUTREPIA on May 23, 2025, we began shipping YUTREPIA to our customers in the United States in June 2025. We did not recognize any product revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Service revenue, net, was $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Service revenue, net related primarily to the promotion agreement with Sandoz, Inc. pursuant to which we share profits from the sale of Treprostinil Injection in the United States (Promotion Agreement). The decrease of $1.4 million was primarily due to the impact of unfavorable gross-to-net returns and managed care adjustments recorded in the current year. Cost of product sales was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and related to sales of YUTREPIA. We did not record any cost of product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of service revenue was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of service revenue related to the Promotion Agreement as noted above. Research and development expenses were $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of $3.4 million or 36% was primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in personnel expenses (including stock-based compensation) due to a shift from activities related to research and development to the commercialization of YUTREPIA, a $1.0 million decrease in expenses related to our YUTREPIA research and development activities, and a $0.4 million decrease in facilities and infrastructure expenses. These decreases were offset by a $1.1 million increase in clinical expenses for our L606 program, primarily related to our planned global pivotal study for the treatment of PH-ILD. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $38.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $18.9 million or 95% was primarily due to a $8.8 million increase in personnel expenses (including stock-based compensation) driven by higher headcount and a shift from activities related to research and development to the commercialization of YUTREPIA, a $5.8 million increase in legal fees related to our ongoing YUTREPIA-related litigation, a $2.3 million increase in commercial and consulting expenses to support the commercialization of YUTREPIA, and a $1.3 million increase in facilities and infrastructure expenses. Total other expense, net was $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $2.6 million was primarily attributable to the higher borrowings under the HCR Agreement. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $41.6 million or $0.49 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $28.7 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Webcast Information Liquidia will host a live webcast at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on August 12, 2025, to discuss the second quarter financial results and corporate update. The webcast will be available on Liquidia's website at https://liquidia.com/investors/events-and-presentations. A rebroadcast of the event will be available and archived for a period of one year at the same location. About YUTREPIA™ (treprostinil) Inhalation PowderYUTREPIA is an inhaled dry-powder formulation of treprostinil delivered through a convenient, low-effort, palm-sized device. YUTREPIA is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) to improve exercise ability. YUTREPIA was designed using Liquidia’s PRINT® technology, which enables the development of drug particles that are precise and uniform in size, shape and composition, and that are engineered for enhanced deposition in the lung following oral inhalation. YUTREPIA was previously referred to as LIQ861 in investigational studies. About L606 (liposomal treprostinil) Inhalation SuspensionL606 is an investigational, sustained-release formulation of treprostinil administered twice-daily with a next-generation nebulizer. The L606 suspension uses Pharmosa Biopharm’s proprietary liposomal formulation to encapsulate treprostinil which can be released slowly at a controlled rate into the lung, enhancing drug exposure over an extended period of time. L606 is currently being evaluated in an open-label study in the United States for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) with a planned global pivotal placebo-controlled efficacy study for the treatment of PH-ILD. About Treprostinil InjectionTreprostinil Injection is the first-to-file, fully substitutable generic treprostinil for parenteral administration. Treprostinil Injection contains the same active ingredient, same strengths, same dosage form and same inactive ingredients as Remodulin® (treprostinil) and is offered to patients and physicians with the same level of service and support, but at a lower price than the branded drug. Liquidia PAH promotes the appropriate use of Treprostinil Injection for the treatment of PAH in the United States in partnership with its commercial partner, Sandoz, who holds the Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the FDA. About Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, chronic, progressive disease caused by hardening and narrowing of the pulmonary arteries that can lead to right heart failure and eventually death. Currently, an estimated 45,000 patients are diagnosed and treated in the United States. There is currently no cure for PAH, so the goals of existing treatments are to alleviate symptoms, maintain or improve functional class, delay disease progression and improve quality of life. About Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD)Pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) includes a diverse collection of up to 150 different pulmonary diseases, including interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, connective tissue disease-related ILD, and chronic pulmonary fibrosis with emphysema (CPFE) among others. Any level of PH in ILD patients is associated with poor 3-year survival. A current estimate of PH-ILD prevalence in the United States is greater than 60,000 patients, though actual prevalence in many of these underlying ILD diseases is not yet known due to factors including underdiagnosis and lack of approved treatments until March 2021 when inhaled treprostinil was first approved for this indication. About Liquidia CorporationLiquidia Corporation is a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for patients with rare cardiopulmonary disease. The company’s current focus spans the development and commercialization of products in pulmonary hypertension and other applications of its proprietary PRINT® Technology. PRINT enabled the creation of Liquidia’s first approved product, YUTREPIA™ (treprostinil) inhalation powder for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD).  The company is also developing L606, an investigational sustained-release formulation of treprostinil administered twice-daily with a next-generation nebulizer, and currently markets generic Treprostinil Injection for the treatment of PAH.

Veru Reports Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Financial Results and Clinical Program Progress

--Company reported positive efficacy and safety data from Phase 2b QUALITY study showing enobosarm added to semaglutide led to preservation of muscle, greater fat loss, and fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to semaglutide alone-- --Company reported positive efficacy and safety data from Phase 2b QUALITY Maintenance Extension study showing enobosarm significantly reduced body weight regain, prevented fat regain, and preserved lean mass after semaglutide discontinuation-- --Company has selected a novel modified release oral enobosarm formulation following pharmacokinetic clinical study-- --Company anticipates FDA feedback to clarify the regulatory pathway for enobosarm to preserve lean mass during chronic weight loss management-- --Company to host conference call and webcast today at 8:00 a.m. ET-- MIAMI, FL, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veru Inc. (NASDAQ: VERU), a late clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative medicines for the treatment of cardiometabolic and inflammatory diseases, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter and provided an update on progress of its clinical development programs. “We have now reported all the positive efficacy and safety topline results from our Phase 2b QUALITY and Maintenance Extension study, and are looking forward to FDA feedback on the regulatory pathway for enobosarm to be used as an adjunctive therapy with GLP-1 RA to preserve lean mass while burning more fat for chronic weight loss management,” said Mitchell Steiner, M.D., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Veru. “The efficacy and safety of Veru’s oral agent enobosarm looks better than any of the injectable myostatin inhibitors now under development by our competitors. Unlike our competitors, enobosarm has positive physical function data measured by stair climb power. Furthermore, we have strengthened our intellectual property position with the selection of a novel modified release oral enobosarm formulation confirmed in a clinical pharmacokinetic study.” Enobosarm for Chronic Weight Loss Management Program Phase 2b QUALITY study- enobosarm is a next generation drug that makes GLP-1 RA weight loss more selective for fat loss while preserving lean mass and physical function In January 2025, the Company announced positive topline efficacy results from the Phase 2b QUALITY clinical study, which is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, dose-finding clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of enobosarm 3mg, enobosarm 6mg, or placebo as a treatment to augment fat loss and to prevent muscle loss in 168 older patients (≥60 years of age) receiving semaglutide for chronic weight management. The 3mg enobosarm dose had the best profile to advance into Phase 3 program. Enobosarm 3mg + semaglutide group met the primary endpoint of study with a statistically significant 100% average preservation of total lean mass compared to placebo + semaglutide at 16 weeks (p<0.001).  Enobosarm + semaglutide treatment resulted in dose dependent greater loss of fat mass compared to placebo + semaglutide with the enobosarm 6mg dose having a 42% greater relative loss of fat mass compared to placebo + semaglutide group at 16 weeks (p=0.017) and the enobosarm 3mg having a 12% greater fat loss.  Even with having preserved lean mass, enobosarm + semaglutide treatment resulted in a similar mean body weight loss as semaglutide alone at 16 weeks. The tissue composition of the total body weight lost was 34% lean mass and 66% fat mass for the placebo + semaglutide group whereas it was 0% lean mass and 100% fat mass for the enobosarm 3mg + semaglutide group. Physical function was measured by the Stair Climb Test. A responder analysis was conducted using a greater than 10% decline in stair climb power as the cut off at 16 weeks which represents an approximate 7 to 8 year loss of stair climb power that naturally occurs with aging. Phase 2b QUALITY clinical trial is the first human study to demonstrate that older patients who are overweight or have obesity receiving semaglutide are at higher risk for accelerated loss of physical function as 44.8% of the placebo + semaglutide group had at least a 10% decline in stair climb power physical function at 16 weeks. Enobosarm treatment preserved lean mass which translated into a reduction in the proportion of patients that had a clinically significant stair climb physical function decline with 17% of the enobosarm 3mg + semaglutide group having at least a 10% decline in stair climb power physical function at 16 weeks which is a 59.8% relative reduction in the proportion of subjects that lost at least 10% stair climb power compared to placebo + semaglutide group (p=0.006). In May 2025, the Company announced that the enobosarm and semaglutide GLP-1 RA combination had a positive safety profile in the Phase 2b QUALITY clinical trial After trial participants completed the efficacy dose-finding portion of the Phase 2b QUALITY clinical trial, 148 participants continued to the Phase 2b Maintenance Extension study, a double-blind study, where all patients discontinued semaglutide treatment, but continued receiving placebo, enobosarm 3mg, or enobosarm 6mg as monotherapy for 12 weeks. In June 2025, the Company announced positive topline efficacy and safety results from the maintenance extension portion of the Phase 2b QUALITY clinical study that showed that enobosarm significantly reduced body weight regain, prevented fat regain, and preserved Lean mass after semaglutide discontinuation The 3mg enobosarm monotherapy significantly reduced the body weight regained by 46% after discontinuation of semaglutide. At the end of the Phase 2b QUALITY study active weight loss period of 16 weeks, body weight loss was similar across treatment groups with the semaglutide plus placebo group losing an average of 11.88 lbs. After the 12-week Maintenance Extension study period (Day 112 to Day 196) where all treatment groups discontinued semaglutide, the placebo monotherapy group regained 43% of body weight that was previously lost during the Phase 2b QUALITY for a mean percent change of 2.57% (5.06 lbs) in body weight, compared to 1.41% (2.73 lbs) for the 3mg enobosarm group (p=0.038) and 2.87% (5.29lbs) for the 6mg enobosarm group. The mean tissue composition of body weight regained was 28% fat and 72% lean mass in the placebo group, versus 0% fat and 100% lean mass in both the 3mg and the 6mg enobosarm groups. Enobosarm plus semaglutide followed by enobosarm monotherapy regimen was more effective in preserving lean mass and causing and maintaining greater loss of fat by the end of the study. Placebo plus semaglutide followed by placebo monotherapy group experienced a loss of lean mass, while both enobosarm plus semaglutide followed by enobosarm monotherapy groups (3 mg and 6 mg doses) significantly preserved more than 100% of lean mass (enobosarm 3mg p<0.001 and enobosarm 6mg p=0.004). The enobosarm plus semaglutide followed by enobosarm monotherapy patients had a 58% greater loss of fat with enobosarm 3mg (p=0.085) and a 93% greater loss of fat with enobosarm 6mg (p=0.008) compared to placebo plus semaglutide followed by placebo monotherapy. Adverse events (AEs) and adverse events of special Interest In the double-blind Phase 2b QUALITY Maintenance Extension clinical trial (Day 112-196), enobosarm monotherapy had a positive safety profile. After discontinuation of semaglutide, there were essentially no gastrointestinal side effects, no evidence of drug induced liver injury (by Hy’s law), and no increases in obstructive sleep apnea observed at any dose of enobosarm compared to placebo monotherapy. There were no AEs of increases in prostate specific antigen in men. There were no AEs related to masculinization in women. There were no reports of suicidal ideation observed (Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale). The Phase 2b QUALITY and Maintenance Extension clinical trial confirms that preserving lean mass with enobosarm plus semaglutide led to greater fat loss during the active weight loss period, and after semaglutide was discontinued, enobosarm monotherapy significantly prevented the regain of both weight and fat mass during the maintenance period such that by end of study there was greater loss of fat mass while preserving lean mass for a higher quality weight reduction compared to the placebo group. Novel Modified Release Oral Enobosarm Formulation On August 11, 2025, the Company announced the selection of a novel modified release oral enobosarm formulation following a pharmacokinetic clinical study for chronic weight loss management. The single-dose, open label pilot study evaluated the plasma concentration versus time profile of a proprietary, patentable modified release formulation of enobosarm 3mg. The new formulation demonstrated the intended distinct target product release profile, which includes a reduction in maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), a delayed time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax), a distinct secondary peak concentration, and similar extent of absorption (AUC) compared to historical values for enobosarm immediate-release capsules. The novel modified release oral enobosarm formulation is planned to be available for further clinical studies and for commercialization. The novel enobosarm oral formulation’s unique manufacturing process is protected by issued global patents with protection through 2037 and the new patents on the novel modified release oral enobosarm formulation have been filed and if issued, expiry is expected to be 2046.

Titan Mining Delivers Strong Q2 Results; On Track to Commission First Integrated U.S. Graphite Facility in 2025

GOUVERNEUR, N.Y. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Titan Mining Corporation (TSX: TI; OTCQB: TIMCF) ("Titan" or the "Company") today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company met quarterly production guidance at its Empire State Mines LLC (“ESM”) and is on track to be the first end to end producer of natural flake graphite in the United States by Q4 2025. Q2 25 HIGHLIGHTS:(1) Payable zinc production of 15.5 million pounds, up 7% from Q2 2024 Revenues of $16.3 million, C1 cash costs and AISC of $0.90/lb Cash flow from operations of $2.4 million Reduction in net debt by 21% from Q2 2024 Cash balance of $8.1 million at quarter end EXIM Bank financing secured for $15.8 million, the first direct mining loan under its Make More in America Initiative (2) Strong safety performance, with an injury frequency rate well below the U.S. national average Over 40,000 acres of mineral rights added through lease and option to lease agreements with St. Lawrence County in May 2025. This expands the Company’s mineral tenure to over 120,000 acres in upstate New York and increases the discovery opportunities for additional zinc and graphite resources as well as iron-oxide copper gold deposits Graphite processing facility construction underway at ESM site; over 50% of major equipment delivered Expected commissioning in Q4 2025, making Titan the first integrated producer of natural flake graphite in the U.S. in over 70 years. (1) All amounts disclosed in this news release are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.(2) The EXIM Bank Financing was completed on July 21, 2025, subsequent to end of Q2 2025. Don Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Titan, commented, “Our Q2 performance reflects consistent execution at ESM, with strong production, start-up of the N2D zone and continued cost control. Importantly, our graphite project has moved from concept to construction, supported by public and private sector backing. Titan is building the foundation to become a multi-commodity, integrated supplier of critical minerals to the U.S. economy”. Rita Adiani, President of Titan commented: “Titan is executing a unique dual-commodity strategy. Our zinc operations continue to generate cash flow, while the Kilbourne graphite first phase processing facility is rapidly progressing toward commissioning. With strong government support and tangible progress on-site, we’re positioning Titan as a future-facing, U.S.-based supplier of both industrial and critical minerals”. TABLE 1 Financial and Operating Highlights     2025     Q2  Q1  YTD  Operating         Payable zinc produced mlbs  15.51  15.37  30.88  Payable zinc sold mlbs  16.04  15.57  31.61  Average Realized Zinc Price $/lb  1.20  1.29  1.24  C1 Cost(1) $/lb  0.90  0.91  0.91  AISC(1) $/lb  0.90  0.96  0.93  Financial         Revenue $m  16.34  16.02  32.36  Net Income (loss) after tax $m  0.54  0.35  0.89  Earnings (loss) per share- basic $/sh  0.00  0.00  0.01  Cash Flow from Operating Activities before changes in non-cash working capital $m  2.36  2.69  5.05  Financial Position         Cash & Cash Equivalents $m  8.1  12.2  8.1  Net Debt(1) $m  24.2  23.1  24.2  Note: The sum of the quarters in the table above may not equal the year-to-date amounts disclosed elsewhere due to rounding. 1 C1 Cash Cost, All-In Sustaining Cost (“AISC”) and Net Debt are non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, these financial measures are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. These financial measures have been calculated on a basis consistent with historical periods. Information explaining these non-GAAP measures is provided below under “Non-GAAP Performance Measures”. ZINC OPERATIONS REVIEW Mining during the quarter continued in the Mahler, New Fold, and Mud Pond zones at the #4 mine, with additional production initiated from the N2D zone for the first time since May 2023. High-grade ore from the Lower Mahler zone supported above-budget output. N2D production is ramping from 250 to 500 tons per day in Q3. GRAPHITE UPDATE Construction of the Kilbourne graphite demonstration plant is advancing, with over half of major equipment being delivered and site installation underway. Commissioning is on track for Q4 2025. Once operational, the facility will be the first to produce natural flake graphite end-to-end in the U.S. in over 70 years. Technical studies for the project are underway. EXPLORATION UPDATE The Company added additional 43,942 acres of mineral rights added through lease and option to lease agreements with St. Lawrence County in May of 2025 (See press release dated May 8th, 2025 “Titan Mining Signs Cooperative Agreements with St. Lawrence County, Expands Mineral Tenure to Greater Than 120,000 acres in Upstate New York”). Titan continues to evaluate the potential of the district for base, industrial, and precious metals. Multiple areas with historically documented graphite mineralization have been identified, with confirmed graphite mineralization within the ESM mineral tenure. The St. Lawrence County agreement has added the Parish Magnetite prospect to the Company’s target list, a possible Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) occurrence in the historic Adirondack Magnetite Belt. Underground drill programs in the second quarter of 2025 targeted Mahler, New Fold, N2D and Mud Pond. Underground drilling totaled 21 drill holes and 8,894ft (2,710 m). All underground drilling was completed with Company-owned underground drills by Company employees. Drilling continues to hit mineralization at anticipated grades outside of the existing life of mine model signifying mine life expansion potential. Surface drilling continued with Company drills in the second quarter with drilling at Pleasant Valley and Pork Creek for a total of 3,154ft (961.3m). Drilling for 2025 is expected to continue at previously outlined targets including Parish. Quality Assurance and Quality Control Core drilling was completed using ESM owned and operated drills which produced AWJ (1.374 in) size drill core. All core was logged by ESM employees. The core was washed, logged, photographed, and sampled. All core samples were cut in half, lengthwise, using a diamond saw with a diamond-impregnated blade and sampled on 5 ft intervals with adjustments made to match geological contacts. After a sample is cut, one half of the core was returned to the original core box for reference and long-term storage. The second half was placed in a plastic or cloth sample bag, labeled with the corresponding sample identification number, along with a sample tag. All sample bags were secured with staples or a draw string, weighed and packed in shipping boxes. Shipping boxes are placed on pallets and shipped by freight to ALS Geochemistry (“ALS”), an independent ISO/IEC accredited lab located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. ALS prepares a pulp of all samples and sends the pulps to their analytical laboratory in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, for analysis. ALS analyzes the pulp sample by an aqua regia digestion (ME-ICP41 for 35 elements) with an ICP – AES finish including Cu (copper), Pb (lead), and Zn (zinc). All samples in which Cu (copper), Pb (lead), or Zn (zinc) are greater than 10,000 ppm are re-run using aqua regia digestion (Cu-OG46; Pb-OG46; and Zn-OG46) with the elements reported in percentage (%). Silver values are determined by an aqua regia digestion with an ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP41) with all samples with silver values greater than 100 ppm repeated using an aqua regia digestion overlimit method (Ag-OG46) calibrated for higher levels of silver contained. Gold values are determined by a 30 g fire assay with an ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21). Mr. Taylor has a fulsome staff of experts on-site that thoroughly review and verify ESM technical data on a regular basis, as described above. For this reason, Mr. Taylor has relied entirely on such verification procedures for verifying the scientific and technical data in this news release. Mr. Taylor has not identified any legal, political, environmental, or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of the mineral resources disclosed herein. Qualified Person The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Donald R. Taylor, MSc., PG, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Taylor is a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101. Mr. Taylor has more than 25 years of mineral exploration and mining experience and is a Registered Professional Geologist through the SME (Registered Member #4029597). Non-GAAP Performance Measures This document includes non-GAAP performance measures, discussed below, that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The performance measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. The Company believes that these performance measures are commonly used by certain investors, in conjunction with conventional GAAP measures, to enhance their understanding of the Company's performance. The Company uses these performance measures extensively in internal decision-making processes, including to assess how well the Empire State Mine is performing and to assist in the assessment of the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the mine site management team. The tables below provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures as contained within the Company's issued financial statements. C1 Cash Cost Per Payable Pound Sold C1 cash cost is a non-GAAP measure. C1 cash cost represents the cash cost incurred at each processing stage, from mining through to recoverable metal delivered to customers, including mine site operating and general and administrative costs, freight, treatment and refining charges. The C1 cash cost per payable pound sold is calculated by dividing the total C1 cash costs by payable pounds of metal sold. All-in Sustaining Costs AISC measures the estimated cash costs to produce a pound of payable zinc plus the estimated capital sustaining costs to maintain the mine and mill. This measure includes the C1 cash cost and capital sustaining costs divided by pounds of payable zinc sold. AISC does not include depreciation, depletion, amortization, reclamation and exploration expenses.         Q2 2025   Q2 2024                     $ $/lb $ $/lb Pounds of payable zinc sold (millions)         16.0     14.7 Operating expenses and selling costs     $ 12,750 $ 0.80 $ 9,652 $ 0.66 Concentrate smelting and refining costs       1,671   0.10   1,913   0.13 Total C1 cash cost     $ 14,421 $ 0.90 $ 11,565 $ 0.79 Sustaining capital expenditures       27   0.00   -   0.00 AISC     $ 14,448 $ 0.90 $ 11,565 $ 0.79               Net Debt Net debt is calculated as the sum of the current and non-current portions of long-term debt, net of the cash and cash equivalent balance as at the balance sheet date.

Galaxy Entertainment Group Q2 & Interim Results 2025

Leading Macau’s Non-Gaming Diversification Through MICE, Entertainment And Sporting Events Q2 2025 Group Adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 Billion, Up 12% Year-on-Year & Up 8% Quarter-on-Quarter Announced Interim Dividend of $0.70 Per Share Capella at Galaxy Macau Exclusive Private Preview Well Received by Its High Value Customers HONG KONG, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”, “Company” or the “Group”) (HKEx stock code: 27) today reported results for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025. (All amounts are expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise stated) Mr. Francis Lui, Chairman of GEG said: “Today I am pleased to report solid performance for the Macau market and GEG in Q2 and the first half of 2025. Despite global tariff disruptions, continued economic slowdown and regional competition, Macau remained resilient in Q2 2025 with Gross Gaming Revenue (‘GGR’) growing 8% year-on-year and 6% quarter-on-quarter to $59.3 billion. GEG delivered solid results and growth in market share under competitive market conditions. We managed to drive every segment of the business, particularly the premium mass. For the first half of 2025, the Group reported Net Revenue of $23.2 billion, up 8% year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.9 billion, up 14% year-on-year. For Q2, the Group’s Net Revenue was $12.0 billion, up 10% year-on-year and up 8% quarter-on-quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.6 billion, up 12% year-on-year and up 8% quarter-on-quarter. The ultra-luxury Capella at Galaxy Macau, our latest addition to GEG’s hotel portfolio, offered exclusive previews in May and contributed to our strong performance over the Golden Week. In June we hosted K-pop star G-Dragon and Hong Kong acclaimed singer Jacky Cheung at our Galaxy Arena, which led to a record high number of a single-day visitation of over 123,000 to Galaxy Macau™. The Group’s balance sheet remains healthy and liquid, with cash and liquid investments of $30.7 billion as of 30 June 2025 with minimal debt. This financial strength allows us to fund our development pipeline, explore overseas opportunities and return capital to shareholders via dividends. The previously announced final dividend of $0.50 per share was paid in June and today the Board announced an interim dividend of $0.70 per share, payable in October 2025. This again demonstrates our confidence in the medium to longer term outlook for Macau in general and GEG specifically. We continue to compete through our exceptional products and service and ongoing property enhancements, including our retail, food & beverage, multiple hotels and the Grand Resort Deck. More importantly, we continue to leverage the competitive edge of our MICE facilities and Galaxy Arena. Over the past two years it was proven that entertainment shows and events played a key role in driving new and repeat customers to Macau. During the first half of 2025, we have held a total of approximately 190 entertainment, sports and MICE events, and experienced a 65% year-on-year increase in the foot traffic at Galaxy Macau™. In Q2, we hosted multiple mega entertainment events such as in April the ITTF World Cup Macao 2025, one of the world’s most prestigious table tennis events. In May we hosted the Wakin Chau World Tour and K-pop star BTS’s j-hope. In June we had K-pop group BIGBANG’s G-Dragon and the acclaimed Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung’s concerts, all experienced overwhelming customer demand. Post Q2 in July we hosted one of America’s hottest comedy stars Jimmy O. Yang’s first live performance in Macau, and in August we hosted ‘King of Asian Pop’ Eason Chan’s Concert. These entertainment events contributed significantly to our business. In November we will support the National Games and host its Table Tennis Competition in Galaxy Arena. We remain optimistic about mega events tourism in the second half of the year. We previously advised that we had completed the full rollout of smart tables. We are now commencing to experience the benefits of this technology and are leveraging the knowledge gained from the data to provide a better customer experience. In June, GEG announced that the Waldo Casino will cease operation by the end of this year due to commercial considerations. GEG’s employees working at the Waldo Casino will be reallocated to its other properties and casinos. Related departments will discuss the best options with the team members and provide them with a series of vocational training programs to assist them in adapting to their new working environment. GEG would like to thank the Macau residents, patrons and the community for their support to the Waldo Casino over the years. GEG recently won two prestigious awards at the Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific 2025, including the ‘Integrated Resort of the Year’ for Galaxy Macau™ and the ‘Casino Operator of the Year’ for the Group for the second consecutive year. Additionally, in The MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong Macau 2025 List, four of our restaurants collectively earned five MICHELIN stars. In the Forbes Travel Guide 2025 List, Galaxy Macau™ proved its unrivalled position as an integrated resort with the most Five-Star hotels under one roof of any luxury resort company worldwide for the third consecutive year. These recognitions from the international community are testaments to GEG’s outstanding achievements in promoting the sustainable development of integrated tourism, leisure and the gaming industry. Recently the all-suite Capella at Galaxy Macau offered exclusive previews in May to our most distinguished VIPs, offering stays by invitation only and we expect its full opening in the coming months. The exclusive preview of Capella at Galaxy Macau has been well received by the market and has been helping us to attract ultra-high value customers. On the development front we are progressing well with the construction of Phase 4. Construction of the Super Structure and the external facade has been completed and we are progressing to the next stage of development which is fitting out the building. We have entered into a new contract for the internal fitting out works of the approximately 600,000 sqm Phase 4 development which includes multiple high-end hotel brands that are new to Macau, together with an approximately 5,000-seat theater, extensive F&B, retail, non-gaming amenities, landscaping, a water resort deck and a casino. Phase 4 is targeted to complete in 2027. We also continue to evaluate development opportunities in the Greater Bay Area and overseas markets on a case-by-case basis, including Thailand. After examining the economic situation and the actual operations of the gaming industry, the Macau Government announced in June that it has lowered its GGR estimate for 2025 from MOP240 billion to MOP228 billion. We acknowledge that there are shorter term challenges including the slowing global economy and potential tariffs impact, however we remain confident in the medium to longer term outlook for Macau. As always, GEG remains fully committed to making a positive contribution to the Macau’s leisure and tourism industry. Finally, I would like to thank all our team members who deliver ‘World Class, Asian Heart’ service each and every day and contribute to the success of the Group.” Q2 & INTERIM 2025 RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS GEG: Well Positioned for Future Growth 1H Group Net Revenue of $23.2 billion, up 8% year-on-year 1H Group Adjusted EBITDA of $6.9 billion, up 14% year-on-year 1H Net Profit Attributable to Shareholders (“NPAS”) of $5.2 billion, up 19% year-on-year Q2 Group Net Revenue of $12.0 billion, up 10% year-on-year and up 8% quarter-on-quarter Q2 Group Adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 billion, up 12% year-on-year and up 8% quarter-on-quarter Normalized Q2 Adjusted EBITDA was $3.2 billion after adjusting for good luck of $407 million Latest twelve months Adjusted EBITDA of $13.0 billion, up 13% year-on-year and up 3% quarter-on-quarter Galaxy Macau™: Primary Driver to Group Earnings 1H Net Revenue of $19.1 billion, up 13% year-on-year 1H Adjusted EBITDA of $6.3 billion, up 18% year-on-year Q2 Net Revenue of $10.0 billion, up 16% year-on-year and up 9% quarter-on-quarter Q2 Adjusted EBITDA of $3.3 billion, up 20% year-on-year and up 10% quarter-on-quarter Normalized Q2 Adjusted EBITDA was $2.9 billion after adjusting for good luck of $410 million Hotel occupancy for Q2 across the nine hotels was 98% StarWorld Macau: Continuing with Major Property Upgrades 1H Net Revenue of $2.4 billion, down 10% year-on-year 1H Adjusted EBITDA of $653 million, down 21% year-on-year Q2 Net Revenue of $1.2 billion, down 11% year-on-year and down 6% quarter-on-quarter Q2 Adjusted EBITDA of $303 million, down 22% year-on-year and down 13% quarter-on-quarter Normalized Q2 Adjusted EBITDA was $306 million after adjusting for bad luck of $3 million Hotel occupancy for Q2 was 100% Broadway Macau™, City Clubs and Construction Materials Division (“CMD”) Broadway Macau™: Q2 Adjusted EBITDA was $4 million, versus $8 million in Q2 2024 and $2 million in Q1 2025 City Clubs: Q2 Adjusted EBITDA was $2 million, versus $5 million in Q2 2024 and $1 million in Q1 2025 CMD: Q2 Adjusted EBITDA was $238 million, down 7% year-on-year and up 29% quarter-on-quarter Balance Sheet: Remained Healthy and Liquid As at 30 June 2025, cash and liquid investments were $30.7 billion and the net position was $30.3 billion after debt of $0.4 billion Paid the previously announced final dividend of $0.50 per share in June 2025 Announced an interim dividend of $0.70 per share payable on or about 31 October 2025 Development Update: Capella at Galaxy Macau offered exclusive private previews in May; Continue ramping up GICC, Galaxy Arena, Raffles at Galaxy Macau and Andaz Macau; Progressing with Phase 4 Capella at Galaxy Macau offered exclusive private previews in May Cotai Phase 3 – Ramping up GICC, Galaxy Arena, Raffles at Galaxy Macau and Andaz Macau Cotai Phase 4 – Our efforts are firmly focused on the development of Phase 4 which has a strong focus on non-gaming, primarily targeting entertainment, family facilities and also includes a casino International – Continuously exploring opportunities in overseas markets, including Thailand Macau Market Overview Based on DICJ reporting, Macau’s GGR for the first half of 2025 was up 4% year-on-year to $115.3 billion.

Our target is to ensure that each customer interaction is memorable and exceptional. We continue to progressively upgrade our resort facilities to ensure that they remain world-class amenities and highly competitive. We continue to yield all our existing assets including hotels, food and beverage, retail, resort and cinema facilities. Costs are being carefully managed to deliver operating leverage as we continue to grow the top line. We previously advised that we had completed the full rollout of smart tables. We are now commencing to experience the benefits of this technology and are leveraging the knowledge gained from the data to provide a better customer experience. Large scale entertainment is providing a significant boost to foot traffic across our resorts. Mega entertainment events have resulted in a substantial increase in gaming, retail, food and beverage and hotel revenues. We are working hard to continue to build the Galaxy Arena brand as a world-class entertainment arena and to attract even more large scale mega entertainment events into the future. In November we will support the National Games and host its Table Tennis Competition in Galaxy Arena. We remain optimistic about mega events tourism in the second half of the year. The recent exclusive preview of Capella at Galaxy Macau has been exceptionally well received by its high value customers, and we will progressively open all the remaining facilities over the coming months. On the development front we are progressing well with the construction of Phase 4. Construction of the Super Structure and the external facade has been completed and we are progressing to the next stage of development which is fitting out the building. We have entered into a new contract for the internal fitting out works of the approximately 600,000 sqm Phase 4 development which includes multiple high-end hotel brands that are new to Macau, together with an approximately 5,000-seat theater, extensive F&B, retail, non-gaming amenities, landscaping, a water resort deck and a casino. Phase 4 is targeted to complete in 2027. Originally Thailand’s Parliament was scheduled to debate the Entertainment Complex Bill on 9 July 2025. However, the Parliament decided to withdraw the Bill from discussion. We await further updates on the potential progress of the Entertainment Complex Bill. We believe that an integrated resort in Bangkok would be highly accretive to our resort portfolio. We continue to remain very interested in Thailand. The state of the world economy and ongoing discussions on tariffs, whilst gaining significant media coverage has to date not impacted gaming revenue as much as some analysts had previously predicted. Macau still rates in the top three destinations of choice by Chinese travelers. International customer development continues to be a priority and we are leveraging our marketing offices in Tokyo, Seoul and Bangkok. In the first half of 2025 international visitor arrivals to Macau grew 15% year-on-year to 1.3 million. We remain confident in the outlook for Macau. The reasons for this confidence include the ongoing improvement in transportation infrastructure making it easier to travel to and from Macau, as well as within Macau. That includes the recent extension of Macau LRT’s new line connecting the Hengqin Port and the commencement of Macau International Airport expansion and reclamation project, among others. The opening of the fourth Macau-Taipa bridge in late-2024 further improved travel within Macau. We remain confident in the medium to longer term outlook for Macau. In the interim we will continue to leverage our resorts assets and staff to grow the business, and to support Macau’s development into the World Centre of tourism and leisure.

PONY AI Inc. Accelerates Gen-7 Robotaxi Production with over 200 Newly Produced, On Track to Scale Up 1,000-Vehicle Fleet by Year End

Leading National Presence — Launched fully-driverless commercial operations in Shanghai; the ONLY Company commercially operating fully-driverless Robotaxi services across all four tier-one cities in China. Strong Revenues Momentum — Total revenues up 76% year-over-year, with Robotaxi fare-charging revenues surging by over 300%. NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pony AI Inc. (“Pony.ai” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: PONY), a global leader in achieving large-scale commercialization of autonomous mobility, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Dr. James Peng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pony.ai, commented, “This quarter marked a significant milestone in our journey toward large-scale production and deployment, further solidifying our leadership in the Robotaxi industry. Since mass production started two months ago, over 2001 Gen-7 Robotaxi vehicles have rolled off the production line, putting us firmly on track to hit the year-end 1,000-vehicle target. Our robust Robotaxi revenues more than doubled, with fare-charging revenues surging by over 300% year-over-year. The path toward positive unit economics is also clear, as we made substantial improvements in key cost items such as remote assistance and vehicle insurance. These achievements are underpinned by our rapid scaling and operational breakthroughs in all four tier-one cities in China, coupled with expanded presence in Dubai, South Korea and Luxembourg. As we enter the second half of this pivotal year of mass production, we are driving strongly toward positive unit economics and accelerating our multi-year growth trajectory.” Dr. Tiancheng Lou, Chief Technology Officer of Pony.ai, commented, “Our leading position in the Robotaxi industry is built on two key pillars, fully-driverless and scale, both of which we have already achieved. With extensive real-world testing and operations across diverse conditions, we have demonstrated our commitment to rigorous engineering practices, the reliability of the autonomous driving stack and the strong generalization capabilities powered by our proprietary PonyWorld. With mass production underway, we are not just on track to reach 1,000 vehicles but building the foundation for sustained future growth.” Dr. Leo Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Pony.ai, commented, “We delivered strong results in the second quarter, with total revenues growing 76% year-over-year, reflecting the effectiveness of our go-to-market execution. Our robust Robotaxi fare-charging revenues growth once again underscores our progress in building a scalable and recurring monetization model and enhancing long-term business visibility. As Gen-7 mass production gains momentum and we maintain disciplined investment, we are well positioned to accelerate the large-scale commercialization.” Kicking off Robotaxi Scaling-up, a Strong Validation of our Scalable Fully-Driverless Advantage Mass production and operations of multiple Gen-7 Robotaxi models. 1) We kicked off mass production of the Guangzhou Automobile Group (“GAC”) and Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (“BAIC”) Gen-7 Robotaxi models in June and July, respectively. With over 200 already produced, we’re accelerating toward our 1,000-vehicle target by the end of 2025. 2) We initiated operations in all four tier-one cities, collectively accumulating over 2 million kilometers of on-road autonomous driving mileage. This showcases the safety and stability of our entire autonomous driving stack in complex real-world scenarios. 3) We have made significant progress in cost efficiency, driven by an improving remote assistant-to-vehicle ratio and lower vehicle insurance. We are confident of achieving a 1:30 ratio by the end of 2025, enabling one remote assistant to monitor 30 vehicles. Two key pillars for technological advancement: fully-driverless and scale. 1) By achieving fully-driverless operations on a large scale, we have already established ourselves as one of the leading Robotaxi companies worldwide. 2) Among all participants in the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (“WAIC”) 2025 in Shanghai, we were the only provider offering fully-driverless and on-demand ride-hailing services to the public. In addition, we were the only one to remain fully-operational during extreme weather conditions, including typhoons and heavy rainstorms. Accelerating Commercial Deployment with Extending Service and User Coverage Accelerating commercial deployment and expanding ecosystem at scale. 1) Growing user adoption, increasing fleet of deployed Robotaxi vehicles and optimizing operational strategy collectively propelled our fare-charging revenues growth, establishing a sustainable monetization model. 2) We entered into a strategic partnership with Shenzhen Xihu Corporation Limited (“Xihu Group”), Shenzhen’s largest taxi operator, to jointly deploy a fleet of over 1,000 Gen-7 Robotaxis in Shenzhen over the coming years. Scaling up service availability to a wider user group. 1) Registered users on our platform surged by 136% year-over-year in the second quarter. 2) We secured testing permits for Gen-7 Robotaxis in all four tier-one cities, laying out a solid foundation for public-facing commercial deployment. 3) In July, we started fully-driverless commercial Robotaxi services to the public in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area, the heart of Shanghai’s financial district and luxury retails. 4) We extended Robotaxi services from 15 hours per day to full 24/7 coverage in certain areas of Guangzhou and Shenzhen to better fulfill rising user demand. Expanding Global Presence by Entering New Markets and Deepening Our Existing Footprint Strategic collaboration with local partners. We have reached a strategic collaboration with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (“RTA”) to integrate our autonomous driving technology into the city’s future transportation ecosystem. The collaboration will deploy our autonomous driving technology through a multi-phase roll-out, starting with supervised Robotaxi trials in late 2025. Advancing operations to cover diverse environments. We have advanced our presence in South Korea by securing nationwide permits, enabling Robotaxi operations across the country. In Gangnam district, Seoul, we are navigating complex urban traffic and challenging conditions, including winter snowfall. In the second quarter, we further launched nighttime and early-morning operations. Ongoing positive regulatory and testing progress. Following the testing permit granted earlier this year in Luxembourg, we launched road testing in the city of Lenningen in the second quarter in partnership with Emile Weber, Luxembourg’s leading mobility and fleet service provider. 1 As of August 11, 2025, 213 Gen-7 Robotaxi vehicles had been produced. Unaudited Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results (in USD thousands)   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended     June 30, 2024   June 30, 2025   June 30, 2024   June 30, 2025                   Revenues:                 Robotaxi services   592   1,526   1,168   3,256 Robotruck services   10,568   9,520   18,035   17,300 Licensing and applications   1,039   10,409   5,517   14,878 Total revenues   12,199   21,455   24,720   35,434                   Total revenues were US$21.5 million (RMB153.7 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 75.9% from US$12.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by robust growth in both Robotaxi services and Licensing and Applications revenues. Robotaxi services revenues were US$1.5 million (RMB10.9 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 157.8% from US$0.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. Revenues from both fare-charging and project-based engineering solution services demonstrated rapid growth, with fare-charging revenues surging by over 300% year-over-year. The strong growth was primarily driven by expanding user adoption, growing demand in tier-one cities and an increased fleet of deployed Robotaxi vehicles. We also continued to optimize our pricing and operation strategies across diverse user bases, leading to improved user engagement and service efficiency. Robotruck services revenues were US$9.5 million (RMB68.2 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 9.9% from US$10.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease primarily reflected our proactive operation optimization to focus on high-margin revenues. Licensing and applications revenues were US$10.4 million (RMB74.6 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing a significant increase of 901.8% from US$1.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The growth was mainly driven by increased orders and deliveries of autonomous domain controller (“ADC”) products, supported by rising demand from both new and existing clients in the robot-delivery segment. Cost of Revenues Total cost of revenues was US$18.0 million (RMB128.9 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 47.0% from US$12.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. Gross Profit (Loss) and Gross Margin Gross profit was US$3.5 million (RMB24.8 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to gross loss of US$41 thousand in the second quarter of 2024. Gross margin was 16.1% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to negative 0.3% in the second quarter of 2024. The significant gross margin improvement was mainly driven by our focused strategy on prioritizing high-margin revenues sources within Robotaxi and Robotruck services to reduce gross margin variability. We also made solid progress in optimizing Robotaxi unit economics, particularly key cost items such as remote assistance and vehicle insurance. Operating Expenses Operating expenses were US$64.7 million (RMB463.7 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 75.1% from US$37.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in share-based compensation expenses reflected the normalization of expense recognition following our IPO in November 2024, as vesting is no longer contingent on IPO completion. Non-GAAP2 operating expenses were US$57.5 million (RMB412.1 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 58.5% from US$36.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by increased investments in mass production, alongside employee expenses aimed at strengthening R&D capacity for Gen-7 Robotaxi vehicles. Research and development expenses were US$49.0 million (RMB351.2 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 69.0% from US$29.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP research and development expenses were US$44.1 million (RMB315.6 million), representing an increase of 53.3% from US$28.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly due to i) investments in mass production for the Gen-7 vehicles and ii) increased employee compensation and benefits to strengthen technological capabilities. Selling, general and administrative expenses were US$15.7 million (RMB112.5 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 97.3% from US$8.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses were US$13.5 million (RMB96.5 million), representing an increase of 78.2% from US$7.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to i) increased personnel expenses in preparation for large-scale commercial deployment and ii) increased professional service fees. Loss from Operations Loss from operations was US$61.3 million (RMB438.9 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$37.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP loss from operations was US$54.1 million (RMB387.3 million), compared to US$36.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net Loss Net loss was US$53.3 million (RMB381.6 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$30.9 million in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP net loss was US$46.1 million (RMB329.9 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$30.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Ordinary Share Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was both US$0.14 (RMB1.00) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$0.92 in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was both US$0.13 (RMB0.93) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$0.91 in the second quarter of 2024. Each American depositary shares (“ADS”) represents one Class A ordinary share. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash and long-term debt instruments for wealth management were US$747.7 million (RMB5,356.1 million) as of June 30, 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, financing activities provided cash of US$33.1 million, showing an increase compared to the second quarter of 2024. This was mainly due to employee share sales following the expiration of the lock-up period, resulting in funds collected on behalf of employees for future distribution. 2 Non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expenses and changes in fair value of warrants liability, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax. For further details, see the “Unaudited Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this earnings release.

For analytical presentation, all percentages are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial statements contained in this earnings release. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to Pony AI Inc., non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share, and non-GAAP free cash flows, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and changes in fair value of warrants liability, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

BROAD ARROW PRESENTS STUNNING AND UN-RACED JAGUAR D-TYPE AT INAUGURAL ZÜRICH AUCTION

Highly desirable Jaguar D-Type will be one of the highlights of Broad Arrow Zürich Auction in partnership with Auto Zürich on 1 November 1956 Jaguar D-Type set to star at Broad Arrow's inaugural Zurich Auction Credit - Robin Möhl / Courtesy of Broad Arrow Auctions The unraced, highly original Jaguar D-Type set to star at Broad Arrow's inaugural Zurich Auction Credit - Robin Möhl / Courtesy of Broad Arrow Auctions LONDON, England, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One of only 71 Jaguar D-Types produced Rare example that has never been used in competitive motorsport Matching engine and chassis numbers Meticulously cared for by current Swiss owner for past three decades Highly desirable Jaguar D-Type will be one of the highlights of Broad Arrow Zürich Auction in partnership with Auto Zürich on 1 November D-Type estimated to bring CHF 5’250’000 - 6’250’000 Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, is proud to offer one of the most pristine examples of the iconic Jaguar D-Type at its inaugural Zürich Auction this November. One of only 71 produced, Chassis XKD 551 is a rare short-nose version of the D-Type and one of the last to have been manufactured. Its desirability is undeniable and further enhanced by the fact that it has never been used in competition, which will undoubtedly generate intense interest among the international collector car community. The Jaguar D-Type will be a highlight of Broad Arrow’s Zürich Auction, which will be held in partnership with Auto Zürich at the world-famous Dolder Grand hotel on Saturday 1 November 2025. “We are extremely honoured to have been granted the opportunity to offer this incredible Jaguar D-Type at our first Zürich Auction,” says Yves Boitel, Car Specialist, EMEA, at Broad Arrow Auctions. “The fact that this car has never been used competitively and has been meticulously cared for throughout its life, makes it one of the most exceptional D-Types in existence and one that will surely create great excitement among collectors.” Manufactured in 1956, chassis XKD 551 was sold to its first private owner in October 1957, who rather than heading to the nearest racetrack as many D-Types did, carefully converted it to semi-XKSS specification, removing the central bulkhead, adding a passenger door, and fitting a full-width windscreen. In 1963, ownership moved to Hon. James Dawnay, who famously owned and raced the Aston Martin DBR1/1. Motorsport provenance continued when it was sold to Australian Formula 1 driver Paul Hawkins. The 1970s saw another owner remove the XKSS-style modifications to return this highly collectible D-Type to its original configuration, and it eventually landed with its current Swiss owner in 1994. Prior to this, the original XK inline-six engine (no. E 2070-9) had been removed to ensure its preservation, with a correct specification engine fitted in its place. The new owner invested in a significant rebuild of the original engine, which continued to be preserved in storage for the next two decades. Recently, XKD 551 was reunited with its original engine, still fresh from its 2005 rebuild, and this incredible D-Type was treated to a service by the renowned Swiss specialists Graber Sportgarage in preparation for the sale. This extremely rare, un-raced example of the iconic Jaguar D-Type, complete with matching chassis and engine numbers, represents a remarkable opportunity for any discerning collector. It is also accompanied by previous FIA Historical Identity Form (1992), FIA Passport (2009) and FIVA Identity Card (2012), and is eligible for the world's most celebrated historic racing events, including the Goodwood Revival, Silverstone Classic, Mille Miglia Storica, Le Mans Classic, Monaco Historic Grand Prix, and Spa Classic.  “The excitement is building ahead of our inaugural Zürich Auction,” says Paul Gaucher, Head of Consignments for Switzerland at Broad Arrow Auctions. “The addition of this truly superb example of the iconic Jaguar D-Type will undoubtedly add to that excitement among international car collectors. There is plenty more to come and we can’t wait to share additional news on the highly desirable models that will be joining the catalogue soon.” Additional information on The Zürich Auction is available at broadarrowauctions.com. Collectors interested in consigning to or attending the auction are invited to speak with a Broad Arrow car specialist about this very special addition to the international collector car calendar.

Pipe Insulation Market worth $7,195.9 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.4%, says MarketsandMarkets™

Delray Beach, FL, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Pipe Insulation Market is estimated to grow from USD 5,265.4 million in 2024 to USD 7,195.9 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.4% between 2025 and 2030. , as per the recent study by MarketsandMarkets™. The pipe insulation market is on the rise due to the increasing need for energy efficiency, a rise in construction activities, and stricter environmental regulations. By insulating pipes, we can reduce energy loss, enhance system performance, and decrease operational costs across industrial, commercial, and residential settings. The demand for thermal and acoustic insulation is further driven by the expansion of district heating and cooling systems, oil and gas infrastructure, and the chemical industry. Additionally, as more people become aware of sustainability and the importance of reducing carbon footprints, there is a push for advanced insulation materials. Emerging economies are also investing in infrastructure development, which significantly boosts market growth in sectors such as building & construction, industrial, district energy systems, oil, gas, and others.

(France) BASF SE (Germany) Johns Manville (US) Owens Corning (US) Kingspan Group PLC (UK) Rockwool A/S (Denmark) Covestro AG (Germany) Huntsman Corporation (US) Armacell (Luxembourg) Knauf Insulation (US) Drivers, Opportunities and Challenges in Pipe Insulation Market: Drivers: Growth in oil and gas demand Restraint: Volatile prices of plastic foams Opportunity: Availability of green insulation material Challenge: Corrosion under insulation leads to health and safety-related issues Get Sample Pages: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestsampleNew.asp?id=263389325 Key Findings of the Study: In 2024, the rock wool material type accounted for the second-largest share in terms of value of the pipe insulation market. In 2024, the oil application segment was the third largest in the pipe insulation market in terms of value. Central & Western Europe was the fourth-largest pipe insulation market in terms of value in 2024. Based on material type, the pipe insulation market is segmented as rock wool, glass wool, PUR /PIR foam, phenolic foam, elastomeric foam, other plastic foam, and others. Among these types, rock wool is expected to register the second-highest CAGR in terms of value during the forecast period. Its high melting point makes it suitable for applications in high-temperature industries such as power plants, petrochemical plants, and district heating. Additionally, increased awareness of fire safety and energy efficiency in building codes and industrial standards is driving the demand for non-combustible insulation products like rock wool. The product is also waterproof yet vapor-permeable, reducing the chances of corrosion under insulation (CUI), a significant issue in metal piping systems. Rock wool is eco-friendly and recyclable, aligning with global initiatives toward green construction and industrial practices. The industrialization and rising energy-efficiency standards in emerging economies are further boosting the demand.

(China) Drivers, Opportunities and Challenges in Steel Rebar Market: Drivers: Expansion of urban mass transit systems across developing economies Restraint: Import tariffs and anti-dumping measures Opportunity: Green steel rebar from hydrogen-based DRI Challenge: Lack of recycling infrastructure in emerging economies Get Sample Pages: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestsampleNew.asp?id=176200687 Key Findings of the Study: By end-use sector, the infrastructure segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024. By coating type, the plain carbon steel segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024. The steel rebar market is divided by type, which includes deformed and mild. Deformed steel bars feature ribs, lugs, and horns on their surface to enhance the bond between concrete and the rebar, reducing the risk of concrete corrosion. They are widely used across various sectors, such as the construction industry, for building bridges and skyscrapers. Their superior tensile strength and durability have gained recognition worldwide for infrastructure and commercial construction. By contrast, mild steel rebar, which is smooth and has much lower tensile strength, is used for smaller projects like garden walls or reinforcing other types of temporary large structures. Although soft rebar is cheaper, its weak adhesion and tendency to slip have led to decreased use in recent years for new building materials. The steel rebar market is segmented by process into basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) and electric arc furnace (EAF). The BOS process is the most commonly used method for steel production, primarily in regions with high steel demand and abundant virgin iron ore supplies. It is widely used by integrated steel plants for large-scale manufacturing. Meanwhile, the EAF route is quickly gaining popularity as a flexible, low-carbon option that recycles scrap steel. EAF is especially favored in sustainable steelmaking and circular economy applications. With strict environmental regulations and a plentiful supply of scrap, EAF is expected to grow faster in the steel rebar market. The steel rebar market is segmented by coating type into plain carbon steel rebar, galvanized steel rebar, and epoxy-coated steel rebar. Plain carbon steel rebar (ASTM A1044, available in ASTM A615, A706, A775, and A996) is made from unfinished-rolled steel and is the most common type of rebar. However, it lacks corrosion resistance, making it unsuitable for moist conditions. Galvanized steel rebar, which is zinc-coated, offers rust and corrosion resistance suitable for coastal or humid environments. Epoxy-coated steel reinforcement (ASTM A775) provides an effective solution for preventing corrosion of steel rebar and prolonging the lifespan of building structures. Increasing focus on infrastructure longevity and reducing maintenance costs is driving demand for coated rebar, especially zinc and epoxy-coated types. Get Customization on this Report: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestCustomizationNew.asp?id=176200687 The steel rebar market is also segmented by bar size, which includes #3, #4, #5, #8, and other sizes. #3 rebar, being smaller, is used in light-duty construction such as reinforcing patios, driveways, and residential slabs. #4 and #5 rebar sizes are commonly used for these applications, balancing strength with ease of concrete placement in foundations, walls, and columns in both residential and commercial buildings. Conversely, larger #8 rebar is generally used for heavy-duty projects like bridges, large industrial facilities, and multi-story buildings requiring substantial load-bearing capacity. The selection of bar size depends on structural design, service conditions, and building code requirements for different types of structures. The steel rebar market is segmented based on end-use sector, which includes infrastructure, housing & industrial. The infrastructure vertical is a major revenue contributor due to the huge amount of government spending on roads, bridges, railways, and airports in developing countries. Steel rebar is a must in order to maintain the structure and integrity of these heavy concrete projects. Another significant source of contribution is the housing sector, which is driven by urbanization, population increase, and the requirement for affordable as well as tall apartments. The industrial segment sells steel rebar that is included in the construction of manufacturing plants, warehouses, coal and battery plants, and other industrial facilities. The rising industrialization and the development of energy and logistics systems have been demanding more in this segment. Rebar specifications and quantity are also affected by the specific construction requirements of each sector. The steel rebar market is studied in five regions: Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Of these, Asia Pacific is leading the market and is projected to experience the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This is driven by the rapid pace of urbanization, the development of large-scale infrastructure, and the significant government spending on transportation, energy, and housing in countries such as China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Projects such as India’s Smart Cities Mission and China’s Belt and Road Initiative are driving steel rebar demand in the region. North America is a market that is relatively mature, with demand through rehabilitation of aging infrastructure and modernization, particularly in the US and Canada. The U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has increased demand for rebar for bridges, highways, and public transit systems. The market is also witnessing a growing preference for epoxy-coated and corrosion-resistant rebars in light of stringent construction and safety standards. Europe also indicates firm demand, driven by residential renovation, energy-efficient building construction, and earthquake-resistant buildings in Southern and Eastern Europe. South America, led by Brazil and Argentina, is slowly growing, fueled by public infrastructure projects and an increased demand for housing. But economic disruptions could out turn consistent development. The Middle East & Africa coupler for hollow structures market is proving to be a promising market. Continuation of mega projects, including construction sites for Saudi Arabia’s NEOM city and UAE infrastructure development projects, rollout of Vision Plan 2021, and introduction of tourism and energy sources are expected to aid in the long-term demand for high-strength and durable steel rebar in the region.

NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $64.2 million or $3.1 million higher than the prior year, which was primarily due to increased NOI of $2.8 million from acquisitions of industrial income producing properties completed subsequent to Q2 2024, $2.1 million from lease termination and tenant reimbursed capital improvements, an increase in Same Property NOI by $1.7 million and $0.4 million relating to development projects, partially offset by lower NOI of $3.7 million relating to dispositions completed since Q2 2024 and $0.2 million relating to lower straight-line rent adjustments. Fair value adjustment of investment properties The fair value loss on investment properties for the three months ended June 30, 2025, totaled $11.1 million. The REIT engaged external appraisers to value properties totaling $122.2 million in the quarter. Overall, fair value losses recorded for the REIT’s portfolio primarily consists of $13.1 million relating to changes in stabilized NOI and capitalization rates, $2.9 million of capital expenditures that were not deemed to increase the fair value of the properties and therefore fair valued to zero and $0.1 million relating to investment property sale price adjustments prior to disposition, partially offset by $5.0 million gain relating to properties held for development based on development progress relative to the as-completed value. The fair value loss on investment properties for the six months ended June 30, 2025, totaled $2.3 million. Overall, fair value losses recorded for the REIT’s portfolio primarily consists $6.0 million of capital expenditures net of adjustments that were not deemed to increase the fair value of the properties and therefore fair valued to zero, $3.0 million relating to changes in stabilized NOI and capitalization rates, and $2.8 million relating to investment property sale price adjustments prior to disposition, partially offset by $9.5 million gain relating to properties held for development based on development progress relative to the as-completed value. Outlook The REIT is focused on delivering total unitholder return through profitable long-term growth, and by pursuing its strategy as a Canada-focused pure-play industrial REIT. Overall, the REIT anticipates mid-single digit Same Property NOI growth in its industrial portfolio for the full year. The expected growth is primarily attributed to the lease-up of vacant space, and releasing space at market rents that exceed expiring rents, thereby continuing to benefit from positive spreads between market rental rates and the REIT's in-place rental rates. In 2025, the REIT expects to benefit from the completion of two significant development projects. Combined, these properties will add annual stabilized NOI of approximately $6.6 million when complete: The REIT expects to complete its 325,000 sq ft Dennis Rd. expansion project in St. Thomas, ON in the third quarter of 2025. This project is being constructed for an existing tenant. The REIT earns 7.8% on capital expenditures during the construction phase, and will earn a contractual going-in yield of 9.0% on the total development costs of $54.9 million upon completion. The REIT is constructing a 115,000 sq ft small-bay industrial building adjacent to an existing building that it owns in Calgary, AB. The project is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025 and to earn a going-in yield of approximately 11% on total development costs of $15.4 million. Notwithstanding that the normalized AFFO payout ratios for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are 100.3% and 102.2%, respectively, the REIT believes that current distributions are sustainable as disclosed in the FFO and AFFO section of the REIT's MD&A.

Titanium Reports Q2 2025 with 16.8% Logistics Revenue Increase; Further Debt Reduction Strengthens Balance Sheet

Consolidated revenue for Q2 2025 grew 3.5% year-over-year, to $119.1 million, driven by strength in the Logistics segment. Logistics revenue increased 16.8% year-over-year, fueled by 19% increase in US volume, highlighting growth of new customers and the scalability of Titanium’s asset-light model. Enhanced financial flexibility with $12.4 million in debt reduction, $16.4 million cash on hand. BOLTON, Ontario, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Titanium Transportation Group Inc. ("Titanium" or the "Company") (TSX:TTNM, OTCQX:TTNMF), a leading provider of transportation and logistics services throughout North America, is pleased to report its financial results for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2025. All amounts are in Canadian currency. Q2 2025 Financial and Business Highlights Compared with Q2 2024 Consolidated revenue of $119.1 million, a 3.5% increase, compared to $115.1 million in Q2 2024 Consolidated EBITDA1 of $10.0 million, compared to $10.2 million in Q2 2024, with consolidated EBITDA Margin1 of 9.3% Cash flow from operating activities increased to $10.9 million, compared to $9.4 million in Q2 2024 Truck Transportation segment revenue of $54.4 million, down 8.5% compared to $59.4 million in Q2 2024, reflective of the strategic rationalization of fleet operations in latter half of 2024 to eliminate unprofitable service offerings. Logistics segment revenue of $65.6 million, up 16.8% compared to $56.2 million in Q2 2024 Fully diluted adjusted net income per share from continuing operations of $0.02, compared to fully diluted adjusted net loss per share from continuing operations of $0.00 in Q2 2024. Cash was $16.4 million on June 30, 2025. Repaid $10.1 million in loans and finance leases. “Titanium continued to show resiliency in Q2 2025, achieving 3.5% year-over-year revenue growth amidst persistent macroeconomic challenges,” said Ted Daniel, Chief Executive Officer, Titanium Transportation Group. “Our Logistics segment continued to be the primary growth driver, with revenue up nearly 17% fueled by 19% increase in US volume, a testament to our strong customer wins and the scalability of our asset-light model. In Truck Transportation, we executed a disciplined pricing strategy returning the segment to positive operating income despite a 15% decline in volumes due to our proactive exit from non-core service lines.” “In the current operating environment, financial discipline remains paramount. We reduced loans and lease liabilities by $10.1 million in the quarter, strengthened our net debt-to-equity ratio, and ended with a solid cash position of $16.4 million. These actions enhance our financial flexibility and position us to capitalize on strategic opportunities as market dynamics improve. Our continued investments in technology and operational efficiency are critical levers to protect margins and drive long-term, profitable growth,” added Mr. Daniel.

While broader market recovery is likely to be gradual and uneven, Titanium’s strategic focus remains clear: Protect margins, maintain balance sheet strength, and leverage our people, technology, and scalable logistics network to navigate this cycle with discipline and agility.” “Our asset-light logistics model, prudent capital allocation, and strong operational execution continue to differentiate us. We remain committed to reducing debt and selectively investing in high-return growth opportunities that strengthen our competitive position. As industry fundamentals stabilize, we are confident that Titanium is positioned to emerge as a stronger, more efficient operator, delivering sustainable growth and long-term value for shareholders,” added Mr. Daniel. 2025 Guidance Amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, freight market volatility, and unpredictable tariff backdrop, Titanium Transportation estimates Revenue of $115 million to $120 million, and EBITDA % of 8.5% - 9.5% for the next quarter. The Company remains confident in the fundamentals of the business and is focused on operational execution, margin preservation and cash generation.

Advisory Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures: Throughout this press release and in other materials disclosed by the Company, we employ certain measures to analyze financial performance, financial position, and cash flow. These non-IFRS and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. The non-IFRS and other financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than financial measures which are determined in accordance with IFRS, such as net income (loss), oil and natural gas sales revenue and net cash (used) provided by operating activities as indicators of our performance. "Operating Netback" is a non-IFRS measure. Operating netback is comprised of oil and natural gas sales revenue less export tax, royalties and turnover tax and operating costs. Management believes this measure is a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s profitability relative to commodity prices. See “Operating Netback” for a reconciliation of operating netback to oil and natural gas sales revenue, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS. "Operating netback per BOE" is a non-IFRS ratio. Operating netback per BOE is comprised of operating netback divided by total BOE sales volumes in the period. Management believes this measure is a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s profitability relative to commodity prices. In addition, management believes that operating netback per BOE is a key industry performance measure of operational efficiency and provide investors with information that is also commonly presented by other crude oil and natural gas producers. Operating netback is a non-IFRS measure. See "Operating Netback" for the calculation of operating netback per BOE. "Working capital" is a capital management measure. Working capital is comprised of current assets less current liabilities. Management believes that working capital is a useful measure to assess the Company's capital position and its ability to execute its existing exploration commitments and its share of any development programs. See “Summary of Financial Information” for a reconciliation of working capital to current assets and current liabilities, being our nearest measures prescribed by IFRS. Abbreviations and BOE Presentation: "bbl" means barrel; "bbls" means barrels; "BOE" means barrels of oil equivalent; "mcf” means thousand cubic feet; "mmcf" means million cubic feet, "NGL" means natural gas liquids; "UTE" means Union Transitoria de Empresas, which is a registered joint venture contract established under the laws of Argentina and "WI" means working interest. All BOE conversions in this press release are derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six mcf of gas to one bbl of oil. BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six mcf of gas to one bbl of oil (6 mcf: 1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the price of crude oil as compared to natural gas in Argentina from time to time may be different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

Tandy Leather Factory Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. (Nasdaq: TLF) today announced the Company’s financial results for the second fiscal quarter of 2025. Highlights from second quarter 2025: Revenues were $17.8 million, up 2.8% from 2024 Generated operating income of $0.1 million Net loss of $0.2 million versus income of $0.1 million in 2024 Gross margins of 59.5%, up from 58.0% in 2024 Operating expenses $10.5 million, up 5.5% from 2024 Adjusted EBITDA* (from operations) of $0.3 million Ended quarter with $16.4 million of cash and cash equivalents Tandy Leather Factory’s second quarter sales were $17.8 million in 2025, up from $17.3 million in 2024. Second quarter 2025 gross profit was $10.6 million, up from $10.0 million in 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the Company held $16.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, up from $13.3 million a year earlier; this increase reflects the net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters in January 2025 (the “HQ Sale”), offset by the payment of a special dividend to stockholders in the first quarter of approximately $12.7 million. The Company held inventory of $36.2 million, up from $35.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company had basic and diluted net losses in the quarter of $0.02 per share, versus $0.01 basic and diluted net income per share in the prior year. Johan Hedberg, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “We were pleased to have grown our sales and margin dollars in the second quarter, despite the challenging environment and economic uncertainty.   These gains were driven primarily by increased sales productivity in our U.S. retail stores. Our operating expenses increased as expected, driven largely by the shift to leasing our headquarters and distribution center spaces (which we owned during 2024) and other costs related to our now-in-progress move of those facilities in the third quarter; we still expect those costs to lead to operating losses for full year 2025. We hope to continue our sales momentum through the third quarter, while noting that newly-announced tariffs—which did not meaningfully affect our product costs in the second quarter—may impact our sales and profits going forward.” Investors are encouraged to send their questions to the Company’s investor relations hotline at investorrelations@tandyleather.com. * Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes helps investors to compare its operating performance to that of other companies. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s net income to Adjusted EBITDA (in millions):   Quarter endedJune 30, 2025 Net income ($0.2 ) Adjustment to net income (1) 0.4   Adjusted net income (2) 0.2   Add back:   Depreciation and amortization 0.2   Interest income (0.2 ) Income tax provision -   Stock-based compensation 0.1   Adjusted EBITDA (from operations) $0.3       (1) This adjustment to net income removes the net proceeds from the sale of our corporate headquarters, related one-time relocation expenses, and tax related tax provision due to the sale. (2) Adjusted net income represents income from operations plus interest income.     Tandy Leather Factory, Inc., (http://www.tandyleather.com), headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, is a specialty retailer of a broad product line, including leather, leatherworking tools, buckles and adornments for belts, leather dyes and finishes, saddle and tack hardware, and do-it-yourself kits.

The acquisition expanded Quipt's reach to over 12,500 patients annually across four branch locations in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Quipt also signed a Preferred Provider Agreement (PPA) with Ballad Health embedding the Company directly into the health system's hospital discharge planning process and providing access to patient referrals from 20 hospitals across Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky. The transaction was funded entirely with cash on hand and at a highly attractive valuation, preserving balance sheet flexibility. Management expects the acquired operation's Adjusted EBITDA margins to align with Quipt's historical range within two quarters, driven by operational efficiencies and clinical workflow integration. Management Commentary: “Our third quarter results reflect important progress, as we returned to positive organic growth and achieved clear revenue stabilization across the overall business. These results highlight the dedication of our team and the structural improvements we’ve made over the past several quarters, which position us for sustainable long-term growth,” said Greg Crawford, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Quipt. “The subsequent completion of the Ballad Health acquisition marks a meaningful milestone for Quipt. This transaction embeds us directly into the discharge pathway of a prominent integrated health system and reinforces our broader strategy of expanding through healthcare system partnerships. We believe this scalable model will be powerful in advancing our growth platform. As we move through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, our focus remains on maximizing long-term shareholder value. The Board and management team continue to evaluate opportunities supporting this objective and we are confident the actions we are taking today will lay a strong foundation for future value creation.” “We are extremely pleased with the stability we saw in our fiscal third quarter results. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin remained strong and consistent, even as we have navigated a transitioning revenue environment. This underscores the scalability and resiliency of our operating platform,” said Hardik Mehta, Chief Financial Officer of Quipt. “We are thrilled to have executed the Ballad-owned durable medical equipment acquisition after quarter end while maintaining a conservative balance sheet and strong financial flexibility. This transaction enhances our geographic footprint, deepens our health system relationships, and aligns with our playbook for growth. As we continue to scale, the combination of our recurring revenue base, financial strength, and proven execution gives us confidence in delivering consistent performance.” 1 Non-GAAP financial measure or ratio.
