Article: WASHINGTON, April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --More than 12,000 people have applied to join NASA's next class of astronauts, demonstrating strong national interest to take part in America's plans to explore the Moon and take humanity's next giant leap human missions to Mars. Applications were received from every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, and four U.S. territories. However, the process is just beginning for NASA's Astronaut Selection Board, which will assess the applicants' qualifications and invite the most qualified candidates to the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston for interviews and medical tests before making a final selection. NASA expects to introduce the new astronaut candidates in the summer of 2021. "We've entered a bold new era of space exploration with the Artemis program, and we are thrilled to see so many incredible Americans apply to join us," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. "The next class of Artemis Generation astronauts will help us explore more of the Moon than ever before and lead us to the Red Planet." The application for the newest class of astronauts opened March 2 and closed March 31. The number of people who applied to be an astronaut represents the second-highest number of applications NASA has ever received, surpassed only by the record of 18,300 set by the most recent class of astronauts who graduatedin January. For this round of applications, NASA increased the education requirement for applicants from a bachelor's degree to a master's degree in a science, technology, math, or engineering field. In addition, the application period was shortened from two months to one. "We're able to build such a strong astronaut corps at NASA because we have such a strong pool of applicants to choose from," said Anne Roemer, manager of the Astronaut Selection Board and director of human resources at Johnson. "It's always amazing to see the diversity of education, experience and skills that are represented in our applicants. We are excited to start reviewing astronaut applications to identify the next class of astronaut candidates." Since the 1960s, NASA has selected 350 people to train as astronaut candidates for its increasingly challenging missions to explore space. With 48 astronauts in the active astronaut corps, more will be needed to serve as crew aboard spacecraft bound for multiple destinations and propel exploration forward as part of Artemis missions and beyond. Once selected, the astronaut candidates will go through approximately two years of initial skills training, such as spacewalking, robotics, and spacecraft systems, as well as expeditionary behaviorskills, such as leadership, followership, and teamwork. After completing training, the new astronauts could launch on American rockets and spacecraft -- developed for NASA's Commercial Crew Program -- to live and work aboard the International Space Station, 250 miles above Earth. There they will take part in experiments that benefit life at home and prepare us for the Moon and Mars. This new class also may launch aboard NASA's powerful new Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft for Artemis missions to the Moon. Beginning in 2024, NASA will send the first woman and next man to the lunar surface and will establish sustainable lunar exploration by 2028. Gaining insights from new experiences on and around the Moon will prepare NASA to send the first humans to Mars in the 2030s.

Article: PERTH, Australia, Nov.3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX:SOR) subsidiary Stealth Technologies has signed an agreement to collaborate with leading US based Autonomous Drone technology Company, Planck AeroSystems. The Companies will work to enable drones to autonomously launch and land from the Stealth ground based autonomous vehicle platform (AxV). Planck Aero Stealth Technologies ASV vehicle Planck's core enabling technology is vision-based precision landing on moving platforms without GPS. In sectors such as security, defence and resources drones can augment ground based cameras and sensors to provide additional range, multi-angle coverage and additional critical data (e.g. thermal imaging). Stealth Technologies is developing an Autonomous Security Vehicle (ASV) for perimeter security in sectors such as transport, energy, defence, government and utilities providing critical services. The Global Perimeter Security Market is forecast to be growing quickly at CAGR of 12.0% over the forecast period 2020-2026 (reaching USD 282.26 Billion by 2025)[1]. The Planck Autonomous Control Engine (ACE) system is an embedded software solution that runs onboard a variety of unmanned aircraft systems to enable autonomous launch, recovery, relative navigation, and mission planning from a moving vehicle. With centimetre-level accuracy for precision take-off and landing, a drone can launch and recover reliably from small spaces.The sensor-guided flight accounts for motion of a vessel or ground vehicle, including roll, pitch, heave, and wind effects. ACE is deployed in five US federal agencies, and with two allied nations. The ACE system has commanded thousands of successful UAS sorties both at sea and from vehicles, on aircraft from many different manufacturers. Planck is working with the United States Department of Defense's Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO), the United States Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security on various aspects of its technology. The precision landing system uses computer vision, artificial intelligence, and other onboard sensors, but does not require GPS or active communications. Existing unmanned aircraft systems use global positioning and are not capable of autonomous operation from moving vehicles. Planck's intelligent navigation solutions enable new capabilities for surveillance, reconnaissance, real-time situational awareness, and force protection. The Stealth and Planck collaboration will focus on enabling the ASV to launch and land drones. This ability would enable the long runtimes of the ASV to be combined with the high speed of drones. Drones could be launched from the ASV at any time whilst on patrol, effectively doubling the ASV's surveillance coverage capabilities. Drones could also recharge once landed on the ASV and be relaunched. In addition the unique perspectives of both the ASV and its drone can be combined to give an expanded patrol and surveillance dataset, enable more powerful AI use cases for mapping, navigation, object and person recognition, object and person tracking and scene reasoning.The parties will also assess the potential of integrating mobile tethered drones with the ASV. This will give additional deployment options for drone-equipped ASVs to work at facilities located near to controlled airspaces and at those that have safety requirements that would normally preclude drone operation (e.g. airports, energy facilities). Traditional ground tethered drones can only fly in a single location, however drones tethered from the ASV could be mobile and move with the ASV whilst airborne. Key Terms Planck Aero will provide ACE technology for integration into Stealth autonomous vehicles, and any other technologies agreed by the parties. Term of the Collaboration is 6 months. The Parties will explore commercial, industrial and defence applications and opportunities. Plank grants Stealth a royalty-free, non-exclusive, license to use Software for the purposes of the Collaboration for duration of the Term. Stealth will pay to Planck Aero for any Hardware provided under the Project. Any further payments will be as agreed between the parties from time to time. Stealth TechnologiesThe Company's priority focus is its exclusive collaboration with giant US Fortune 100 Company Honeywell[2] to build autonomous security vehicles for the correctional justice sector. The parties are working with the WA Department of Justice to build a fully autonomous robotic security vehicle for the Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison in Kalgoorlie to inspect, test and confirm the integrity of the secure perimeter.

For each ETN, the Current Yield equals the Coupon Amount, annualized and divided by the Closing Indicative Value, as discussed in more detail below. The Current Yield, which is based on an ETN's Coupon Amount and its two most recent coupon payments, is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on the ETNs. In particular, future coupon payments on an ETN may differ significantly from its Current Yield, if its Closing Indicative Value fluctuates widely in a volatile market. You are not guaranteed any coupon payment or distribution under the ETNs. Coupon payments for the ETNs (if any) are variable and do not represent fixed, periodic interest payments. The Coupon Amount for any ETN may vary significantly from coupon period to coupon period and may be zero. Accordingly, the Current Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant. Any payment on the ETNs is subject to Credit Suisse's ability to pay its obligations as they become due. For more information regarding any ETN's coupon payments, please refer to such ETN's pricing supplement. 2. The Current Yield for the ETN equals the sum of (i) the Coupon Amountplus(ii) the amount of the ETN's two most recent coupon payments, multiplied by four (to annualize such amounts), divided by the Closing Indicative Value, and rounded to two decimal places for ease of analysis. 3. On March 16, 2020, the Credit Suisse Nasdaq Gold FLOWS 103 Index, the Credit Suisse Nasdaq Silver FLOWS 106 Index and the Credit Suisse Nasdaq WTI Crude Oil FLOWS106 Index (the "Indices") concluded the notional sale of options on GLD shares, SLV shares and USO shares, respectively, with April 2020 expiration. We expect that the notional cash distribution generated by this sale of options will be withdrawn from the Indices on April 14, 2020, subject to adjustment in the event of any market disruption events. Assuming no redemption or acceleration of GLDI, SLVO and USOI, and that the notional cash distribution is withdrawn from the Indices on April 14, 2020, we expect to declare a Coupon Amount for GLDI, SLVO and USOI, respectively, equal to the corresponding ExpectedCoupon Amount. The ExpectedCoupon Amount is subject to change upon the occurrence of a disruption event or other unforeseen circumstances. 4. For each ETN, the Expected Current Yield equals the Expected Coupon Amount annualized and divided by the Closing Indicative Value, as discussed in more detail below.

Article: BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming October 19, 2020 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased OneSpan Inc. (OneSpan or the Company) (NASDAQ: OSPN) securities between May 9, 2018 and August 11, 2020, inclusive (the Class Period). Investors suffering losses on their OneSpan investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com. On August 4, 2020, OneSpan announced that it had identified errors relate to certain contracts with customers involving software licenses. As a result, the Company estimated that it had overstated revenue by $2 to $2.5 million between first quarter 2018 and first quarter 2020. Then, on August 11, 2020, OneSpan disclosed that it could not timely file its quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2020. According to the Company, revenue had been overstated by $2.2 million from the first quarter in the year ended December 31, 2018 to the quarter ended March 31, 2020. OneSpan also withdrew its fiscal 2020 guidance. On this news, the Companys shares fell $12.36, or nearly 40%, to close at $18.84 per share on August 12, 2020. The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Companys business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that OneSpan had inadequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) as a result, OneSpan overstated its revenue relating to certain contracts with customers involving software licenses in its financial statements spread out over the quarters from the first quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2020; (3) that as a result, it was foreseeably likely that the Company would eventually have to delay one or more scheduled earnings releases, conference calls, and/or financial filings with the SEC; (4) that OneSpan downplayed the negative impacts of errors in its financial statements; (5) that all the foregoing, once revealed, was foreseeably likely to have a material negative impact on the Companys financial results and reputation; and (6) as a result, the Companys public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired OneSpan securities, you may move the Court no later than October 19, 2020, to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action.

Article: ROCKVILLE, Md., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --During the pandemic, pet ownerslike all Americanshave been flocking online in droves due to store closures and stay-at-home and social distancing measures. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. pet owners (64%) have been ordering/buying online more, almost half (49%) have been ordering/buying more via smartphone, and over two-fifths (43%) have been buying groceries online more, based on a 2020 Survey of Pet Owners by market research firm Packaged Facts. In the same survey, 31% of pet owners reported using curbside pickup more for grocery shopping, with 25% using curbside pickup for the first time. In Packaged Facts most recent survey from February 2021, 40% of pet product shoppers claimed they shopped online more for pet products due to the impact of COVID-19. But as David Sprinkle, research director at Packaged Facts and a featured presenter at Global Pet Expo Digital Accesspoints out, the uptick in e-commerce shopping in the U.S. pet industry won't be reversed even as restrictions are increasingly lifted and the vaccine becomes more widely available, because consumers have become acclimated to the ease and convenience of online ordering. "The pre-coronavirus surge in internet sales of pet products had already spurred a massive pet market investment in e-commerce logistics over the past several years, which has helped shored up the products side of the industry and will continue to do so," says Sprinkle. Even before the pandemic, e-commerce sales were a primary pet market driver, with over $5 billion worth of non-food pet supplies sold online in 2019, with e-commerce accounting for an estimated 21% of product sales. As a result of the pandemic-driven accelerated consumer migration online, Packaged Facts expects e-commerce to surge to 35% of the non-food pet supplies market by 2024. Even durable items that had been resistant to shifting online in the pastwhether due to the "touch factor" (as in the bed category) or because they have traditionally been impulse purchases (as in the toy category)are seeing a growing share of internet sales. Accordingly, now is the time for retailers to up their game by exploring incentives for online ordering for home delivery, "click-and-collect" (buy online, pick up in store/BOPISor, in the age of coronavirus, curbside), and subscription-based sales. About the Global Pet Expo Digital Access Registertoday for Global Pet Expo Digital Access. This year's expo will be a fully-digital experience held March 24-26, 2021. The expo is open to independent retailers, distributors, mass-market buyers, and other qualified professionals. This show is not open to the general public.

E-Commerce's Eminence in Pet Market Not Tied to Pandemic Sales Boost, reports Packaged Facts. 40% of pet product shoppers claimed they shopped online more for pet products due to the impact of COVID-19, says Packaged Facts in upcoming presentation at Global Pet Expo on March 24.
ROCKVILLE, Md., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --During the pandemic, pet ownerslike all Americanshave been flocking online in droves due to store closures and stay-at-home and social distancing measures. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. pet owners (64%) have been ordering/buying online more, almost half (49%) have been ordering/buying more via smartphone, and over two-fifths (43%) have been buying groceries online more, based on a 2020 Survey of Pet Owners by market research firm Packaged Facts. In the same survey, 31% of pet owners reported using curbside pickup more for grocery shopping, with 25% using curbside pickup for the first time. In Packaged Facts most recent survey from February 2021, 40% of pet product shoppers claimed they shopped online more for pet products due to the impact of COVID-19. But as David Sprinkle, research director at Packaged Facts and a featured presenter at Global Pet Expo Digital Accesspoints out, the uptick in e-commerce shopping in the U.S. pet industry won't be reversed even as restrictions are increasingly lifted and the vaccine becomes more widely available, because consumers have become acclimated to the ease and convenience of online ordering. "The pre-coronavirus surge in internet sales of pet products had already spurred a massive pet market investment in e-commerce logistics over the past several years, which has helped shored up the products side of the industry and will continue to do so," says Sprinkle. Even before the pandemic, e-commerce sales were a primary pet market driver, with over $5 billion worth of non-food pet supplies sold online in 2019, with e-commerce accounting for an estimated 21% of product sales. As a result of the pandemic-driven accelerated consumer migration online, Packaged Facts expects e-commerce to surge to 35% of the non-food pet supplies market by 2024. Even durable items that had been resistant to shifting online in the pastwhether due to the "touch factor" (as in the bed category) or because they have traditionally been impulse purchases (as in the toy category)are seeing a growing share of internet sales. Accordingly, now is the time for retailers to up their game by exploring incentives for online ordering for home delivery, "click-and-collect" (buy online, pick up in store/BOPISor, in the age of coronavirus, curbside), and subscription-based sales.

Article: KANSAS CITY, Kan., Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Cingulate Therapeutics, a privately-held, clinical-stage, biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative new products for the treatment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), today announced results from the Company's Phase 1/2, randomized, single-dose, four-sequence, four-period, in-clinic crossover study in adult ADHD patients to establish safety, tolerability, comparative bioavailability, and dose proportionality of CTx-1301 versus Focalin XR. These results demonstratedthe comparative bioavailability (bridging) between these two products, confirming the 505(b)(2) pathway. No serious adverse events were reported in the study. The data was presented at the American Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) annual virtual meeting October 12-24, 2020. Cingulate plans to conduct Phase 3 trials in 2021. "The data is impressive and will help position Cingulate's CTx-1301 product to achieve rapid market uptake," said Shane J. Schaffer, PharmD, Chairman and CEO of Cingulate Therapeutics. "The data in our study not only achieved bridging to the listed drug, but also indicated critical differentiators from any other product available in the ADHD market." Matthew Brams, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Cingulate, remarked, "The data from this Pivotal Trial provided another confirmation that Cingulate has developed an ADHD medication that will substantially improve the lives of patients by overcoming longstanding unmet medical needs. Our Phase 3 trials are designed to further confirm the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of stimulants for ADHD. CTx-1301 has the potential to be the only product for ADHD with a 30-minute onset of action, efficacy that lasts the 'entire active day', and a controlled descent of drug levels with the potential to minimize or prevent the afternoon wear-off effects, or 'crash'; And from a societal perspective, CTx-1301, with its built-in booster may eliminate the need for a 'booster' or 'recovery' dose required by millions of ADHD patients and could reduce the abuse and diversion of these short-acting stimulants." About Cingulate TherapeuticsCingulate Therapeutics, LLC is a privately-held, clinical-stage, biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of new and innovative products utilizing the Company's disruptive, proprietary Precision Timed Release (PTR)drug delivery platform technology that enables the creation of a true once-daily, multi-dose tablet.

Article: BOSTON, June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PatientPing, the nation's leading care collaboration and e-notifications platform, today announced that it has raised $60 million in Series C funding to fuel expansion to new geographies and extend capabilities. Powered by the nation's largest network of Admission, Discharge, Transfer (ADT) data, PatientPing connects thousands of healthcare providers and health plans across the continuum of care. The investment round, co-led by Andreessen Horowitz, F-Prime Capital, GV (formerly Google Ventures), and Transformation Capital, with additional participation from existing investors, brings PatientPing's total funding to over $100 million. The funding announcement comes as the deadline nears for complying with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) interoperability rule, which adds a Condition of Participation (CoP) requiring hospitals to share ADT electronic event notifications (e-notifications) with other providers whenever patients have inpatient or emergency department care events. This is an approach PatientPing pioneered nearly seven years ago with its Pings solution. It also comes in themidst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when sharing real-time information about patients' care encounters across providers and settings is critical to ensure better, safer, and faster treatment and care transitions for infected and recovering patients. PatientPing experiencedrecord growth over the past year, adding thousands of hospitals, PAC facilities, provider organizations and health plans to new and existing markets, including new organizations in Texas, Washington, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Illinois,Ohio, and Missouri. The Series C financing fuels the continued expansion of the PatientPing e-notifications network beyond the 1,000+ hospitals, and 5,000+ post-acute care facilities that are currently connected, enabling 135 million patient ADT events for 43 million covered lives. With itsgrowth and breadth, PatientPing is well positioned to be a compliance solution for hospitals under the new e-notifications CoP. Sharing ADT events via Pings is a secure and cost-effective way to activate a patient's entire medical team to take action to coordinate care. This enables providers to drive efficient care transitions in and out of emergency departments, hospitals, post-acute providers, and other care settings. By connecting care teams during clinical encounters, Pings keep patients from poor hand-offs between providers that frequently result in patients spending more time in hospitals and other care settings than they need. "While monitoring a patient in the emergency department (ED), I saw a Ping come in that alerted me to quickly connect with the ED case manager as their ED treatment plan needed to consider my care manager's recent documentation of the patient having falls. As a result, rather than being admitted to the hospital, a discharge plan was developed for a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) stay," explains Aimee Traugh, Health Regional Care Management Director at UnityPoint Health, a network of hospitals, clinics and home care services in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. "If I hadn't gotten the Ping and been able to reach out, the ED case manager would not have researched the patient's clinical history until discharge. This reduced the ED visit time, prevented a hospitalization, and expedited the admission to the SNF." In addition to expanding its Pings network for e-notifications, PatientPing recently added two new solutions to its enterprise care collaboration product suite, Calloutsand Spotlights.Providers and health plans can use Callouts to improve patient engagement and enroll patients in available programs and supplemental benefits. Spotlights, a real-time network performance management tool, enables providers to view dashboards to monitor network wide utilization patterns, performance trends and intervene, enabling faster quality improvement cycles instead of waiting for months for claims-derived analytics. The company also introduced a COVID-19 Flagfeature, which enables providers to identify and monitor presumptive COVID-19 patients' ADT data in real time by alerting providers via text, email, and within the PatientPing web app whenever patients experiencing COVID-19-like symptoms have care events. Through this new flag feature, providers can better prepare for incoming COVID-19 patients, adhere to quarantine protocols, assess overall population health, and, most importantly, help improve outcomes for patients while keeping them and staff members safe. "Patients often receive care from many providers and when they work together, care is safer and better," said Jay Desai, PatientPing's CEO. "PatientPing is committed to delivering the innovative products needed to support every patient and their full care team with real-time awareness into patients' treatment. With CMS recognizing this need through their CoP, we're excited to accelerate the growth of our national network that makes it easy for any two or more providers to collaborate anytime a patient is receiving care." "It's been exciting to watch PatientPing steadily expand its geographical reach and technology capabilities to positively impact millions of patients nationwide," said Julie Yoo, General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz. "Their platform plays such a critical role in the transition of patients between sites of care, and eliminates one of the major blind spots in our fragmented healthcare system by longitudinally tracking a patient's care journey across all encounters. With the favorable regulatory tailwinds and the need for more resilient care delivery infrastructure coming out of the COVID crisis, PatientPing is well poised to continue leading the market in its quest to achieve better coordination of care."

"Rick" Orfingerretiredafter 20 years as ajudge on the Fifth District Court of Appealat the end of January and early the nextmonth embarked onhis career as a full-time neutralwith Upchurch Watson White & Max Mediation Group.The Daytona Beach native did not miss a beat asmediations and arbitrations began to be set. Continue Reading Rick Orfinger has a long history in the judiciary. Altogether, Orfingerspent30 years in thejudiciary. He was a circuit judge for the Seventh Judicial Circuit of Florida from 1991 to 2000 and served as the circuit's chief judge from 1996 to 1999. In 2000, Gov. Jeb Bush appointed himto the appeals court, where he served until the end of January 2021. As the court's chief judge from 2011 to 2013, he was instrumental in the court's transition to a paperless environment. Earlier, he had organized the Seventh Circuit's Committee on Professionalism and served on the Florida Supreme Court's Commission on Professionalism and The Florida Bar's Professionalism Committee. While on the appeals court, Orfinger authored hundreds of opinions on numerous legal topics. "We are delighted to welcome Richard Orfinger, a distinguished newly retired appellate judge, to our firm," UWWM President and CEO John Upchurch said. "Our clients will be well servedthrough his incisive intellect and natural warmth, coupled with his ability to translate complex concepts effectively, so well documented by his landmark decisions as published over the past 20 years." At the end of January, Orfingertold his local newspaper, "Like all human beings, judges come to the bench with their own life experiences and biases. But we must be intellectually honest, recognize our own biases and, to the extent possible, put them aside ..." He will bring this same spirit of neutrality to his work as a mediator and arbitrator.Orfingeralso understands the work of an advocate. Before he took the bench, he was a shareholder in the Daytona Beach firm of Monaco, Smith, Hood, Perkins, Orfinger andStout, P.A. from 1990 to 1991 and a shareholder in Orfinger and Stout, P.A. from 1979 to 1990.

Article: CASA GRANDE, Ariz. & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elim Mining Incorporated (Elim or the Company), a private copper exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the closing of the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement of common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,811,620.60 (the "Offering"). Under the Offering, the Company issued a total of 12,705,402 Common Shares at a price of $0.30 per Common Share. A second tranche consisting of shares subscribed by a technical consortium (the Consortium) comprised of Samuel Engineering and Q&D is expected to close in January 2021. The Company has agreed with the Consortium that $1,900,000 of the fees payable for certain services on the stockpile project will be satisfied by issuing Common Shares (6,333,333) at the deemed price of $0.30 per Common Share. The Companys largest shareholders, Tembo Capital and RCF, have the right to participate in the offering up to the amount required to maintain their respective shareholdings. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to advance the resource development drilling at the Cactus Mine and Parks/Salyer properties, additional technical studies of the Stockpile Project, land acquisitions, and general working capital. John Antwi, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, The new inflow of capital supports the Companys overall site development strategy. In particular, the participation of the Consortium is a strong indicator of their confidence in the Stockpile project. Activities will feed into a Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Cactus West and Cactus East deposits, expected in Q2 2021. The Consortium of technical industry professionals will provide the additional input to continue fine-tuning the economics of the Stockpile Project with drilling and metallurgical testing. Having our trusted consultants manage the advancement of the Stockpile allows Elim to remain laser-focused on the advancement of the larger in-ground copper porphyry resources. We look forward to optimizing the multiple potential mining, processing and personnel synergies between the Stockpile Project and Cactus Mine. Pursuant to their subscription, Elim will grant the Consortium, the right of first offer to bid for certain future services related to the Stockpile.

"I am proud of the relationships we have built and nurtured with our members, customers, and vendor partners. I am equally proud of the relationship we have built with our financial partner, ACON Investments, which has allowed True Value to become the only branded, national wholesaler without a membership requirement, enabling retailers to invest their hard-earned money back into their business. Over the last two years, we've accelerated investments in the business, including the modernization of our supply chain, doubling the size of our sales force, implementing hyper-localized marketing and improving pricing across the best product assortment in the industry. There is still tremendous opportunity to be captured as we continue to find new ways to better serve the independent hardware retailers which anchor America's communities. I am confident that Chris and Deb are extraordinarily qualified to accomplish this, and I am thrilled to continue serving as a member of the Board to support them in those efforts." "I'd like to extend our sincerest appreciation to John," said Aron Schwartz, Chairman of the True Value Company Board of Managers. "Over the last seven years, John's leadership has shaped the Company, including the last two with us, where he was the visionary behind the transaction unlocking over $250 million of retailers' equity. He was the leading advocate of investments the Company has made in supply chain, technology, as well as a number of merchandising and marketing initiatives, to better serve True Value's customers. As the Company moves into this next phase of growth, we have a deep leadership bench, with Chris and Deb at the helm, to continue the important investments being made to support the growth and profitability of our retailers," said Schwartz. "Chris has a long track record of successfully leading businesses in this channel and has rapidly implemented and executed an integrated merchandising, sales and pricing go-to-market strategy at True Value. Deb has been with the Company for five years and has been an instrumental leader in transforming the business and accelerating investments to further support all independent hardware retailers." Prior to joining True Value, Kempa had 25 years of experience in the distribution sector, most recently serving as Chief Executive Officer and Group President of ORS Medco, and previously as an officer at Grainger with responsibility for its international business. O'Connor came to True Value with a wealth of retail experience having worked in various finance roles over the last 25 years. She spent seven years at OfficeMax, where she was the senior vice president of integration and finance playing a critical role in the OfficeMax/Office Depot merger.

Article: BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Life Storage, Inc. (NYSE:LSI), a leading national owner and operator of self-storage properties, reported operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Highlights for the Third Quarter Included: Joe Saffire, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, stated, We had a great quarter on many fronts. Our stores returned to positive top line revenue and NOI growth. We achieved record third quarter same store occupancy, up 290 basis points year-over-year at quarter end. We acquired 25 stores from two of our strategic joint venture partners and our acquisition pipeline remains robust. We added 30 stores to our third-party management platform as owners are drawn to our technology platforms and peer-leading same store performance. Our B2B platform, Warehouse Anywhere, achieved several positive customer pilot outcomes. And our balance sheet and liquidity position remain strong and support our ability to execute on our strategic initiatives. COVID-19 PANDEMIC: The COVID-19 global health crisis and related economic disruption has had an adverse effect on the Companys year-to-date financial results in 2020. However, the Company experienced several positive trends in the third quarter and October, which include: FINANCIAL RESULTS: In the third quarter of 2020, the Company generated net income attributable to common shareholders of $37.1 million or $0.78 per fully diluted common share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $140.0 million, or $2.99 per fully diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2019. Net income in the same quarter last year benefited from a $100.2 million gain on sale of storage facilities. Funds from operations for the quarter were $1.49 per fully diluted common share compared to $1.46 for the same period last year. After adjusting for the $1.5 million impact of uninsured damages and customer reinsurance claims associated with hurricane damage in September 2020, adjusted FFO per fully diluted common share for the quarter was $1.52, compared to $1.46 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. OPERATIONS: Same store revenues for the stabilized stores wholly owned by the Company since December 31, 2018 increased 1.2% from the third quarter of 2019. The increase resulted from the net impact of a 230 basis point increase in average occupancy and a 2.4% decline in realized rental rates. Same store operating expenses increased 2.7% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year period, the result of increased real estate taxes and internet marketing costs. The increases were offset by decreases in payroll and benefits, repair and maintenance, utilities, advertising, insurance and office and other operating expenses. This is the eighth straight quarter of declining payroll and benefits when comparing to the same period of the prior year. Same store NOI increased 0.4% in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019. The Companys 2020 same store pool consists of the 515 stabilized stores wholly owned since December 31, 2018. Two stores that were damaged from hurricanes in September 2020 were removed from the same store pool in the third quarter. Twenty-two of the stores purchased through December 31, 2019 at certificate of occupancy or that were in the early stages of lease-up are not included, regardless of their current occupancies. The Company believes that occupancy levels achieved during the lease-up period, using discounted rates, are not truly indicative of a new stores performance, and therefore do not result in a meaningful year-over-year comparison in future years. The Company will include such stores in its same store pool in the second year after the stores achieve 80% sustained occupancy using market rates and incentives. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS: During the quarter, the Company acquired 25 stabilized stores in New Jersey (6), Ohio (6), Texas (5), Pennsylvania (4), Florida (3), and Georgia (1) for a total purchase price of $326.7 million. Seventeen of the properties were acquired from Sovran HHF Storage Holdings LLC, a joint venture in which the Company has a 20% common interest, and eight of the properties were acquired from Sovran HHF Storage Holdings II LLC, a joint venture in which the Company has a 15% common interest. The net investment to acquire the properties was $295.3 million. During the third quarter, the Company entered into contracts to acquire three self-storage facilities in Missouri, New Jersey, and New York for an aggregate purchase price of $37.9 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company entered into contracts to acquire five self-storage facilities in Florida (2), South Carolina (2) and California (1) for an aggregate purchase price of $59.6 million. The purchases of these facilities are subject to customary conditions to closing, and there is no assurance that any of these facilities will be acquired. THIRD-PARTY MANAGEMENT: The Company continues to aggressively and profitably grow its third-party management platform. During the quarter, the Company added 30 stores. As of quarter end, the Company managed 317 facilities in total, including those in which it owns a minority interest. FINANCIAL POSITION: At September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $110.2 million of cash on hand, and approximately $500 million available on its line of credit. On September 23, 2020, the Company completed an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.2% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2030. The proceeds were used to fund a portion of the 25-store portfolio acquisition noted above, for general corporate purposes and to fund the October 2020 repayment of a $100 million term note due August 2021 and a related $4.0 million make-whole expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 1,285,546 shares of common stock under its continuous equity offering program at a weighted average issue price of $105.51 per share, generating net proceeds after expenses of $134.2 million. Below are key financial ratios at September 30, 2020: Debt to Enterprise Value (at $105.27/share) 31.2% Debt to Book Cost of Storage Facilities 44.4% Debt to Recurring Annualized EBITDA 5.8x Debt Service Coverage 4.3x COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND: Subsequent to quarter end, the Companys Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $1.07 per share, or $4.28 annualized. The dividend was paid on October 26, 2020 to shareholders of record on October 13, 2020. YEAR 2020 EARNINGS GUIDANCE: Continued uncertainties resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruption across the country and its impact on customer demand in individual markets, continue to make it challenging to provide an outlook and guidance with reasonable accuracy. However, the Company believes it is well positioned to continue to strengthen its share of the resilient self-storage markets it serves due to its disciplined business model and a strong balance sheet to support its strategic initiatives. The Company will continue with suspension of quantitative guidance and revisit this practice next quarter. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: When used in this news release, the words intends, believes, expects, anticipates, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effect of competition from new self-storage facilities, which would cause rents and occupancy rates to decline; risks associated with the COVID-19 global health crisis or similar events, including but not limited to (i) the impact to the health of our employees and/or customers, (ii) the negative impacts to the economy and to self-storage customers which could reduce the demand for self-storage or reduce our ability to collect rent, (iii) reducing or eliminating our ability to increase rents charged to our current or future customers, (iv) limiting our ability to collect rent from or evict past due customers, (v) we could see an increase in move-outs of longer-term customers due to the economic uncertainty and significant rise in unemployment resulting from the COVID-19 global health crisis which could lead to lower occupancies and reduced average rental rates as longer-term customers are replaced with new customers at lower rates, and (vi) potential negative impacts on the cost and availability of debt and equity which could have a negative impact on our capital and growth plans; the Companys ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired self-storage facilities into the Companys existing business and operations; the Companys ability to effectively compete in the industry in which it does business; the Companys existing indebtedness may mature in an unfavorable credit environment, preventing refinancing or forcing refinancing of the indebtedness on terms that are not as favorable as the existing terms; interest rates may fluctuate, impacting costs associated with the Companys outstanding floating rate debt; the Companys ability to comply with debt covenants; any future ratings on the Companys debt instruments; regional concentration of the Companys business may subject it to economic downturns in the states of Florida and Texas; the Companys reliance on its call center; and tax law changes that may change the taxability of future income.

Life Storage, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results.
BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Life Storage, Inc. (NYSE:LSI), a leading national owner and operator of self-storage properties, reported operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Highlights for the Third Quarter Included: Joe Saffire, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, stated, We had a great quarter on many fronts. Our stores returned to positive top line revenue and NOI growth. We achieved record third quarter same store occupancy, up 290 basis points year-over-year at quarter end. We acquired 25 stores from two of our strategic joint venture partners and our acquisition pipeline remains robust. We added 30 stores to our third-party management platform as owners are drawn to our technology platforms and peer-leading same store performance. Our B2B platform, Warehouse Anywhere, achieved several positive customer pilot outcomes. And our balance sheet and liquidity position remain strong and support our ability to execute on our strategic initiatives. COVID-19 PANDEMIC: The COVID-19 global health crisis and related economic disruption has had an adverse effect on the Companys year-to-date financial results in 2020. However, the Company experienced several positive trends in the third quarter and October, which include: FINANCIAL RESULTS: In the third quarter of 2020, the Company generated net income attributable to common shareholders of $37.1 million or $0.78 per fully diluted common share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $140.0 million, or $2.99 per fully diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2019. Net income in the same quarter last year benefited from a $100.2 million gain on sale of storage facilities. Funds from operations for the quarter were $1.49 per fully diluted common share compared to $1.46 for the same period last year. After adjusting for the $1.5 million impact of uninsured damages and customer reinsurance claims associated with hurricane damage in September 2020, adjusted FFO per fully diluted common share for the quarter was $1.52, compared to $1.46 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. OPERATIONS: Same store revenues for the stabilized stores wholly owned by the Company since December 31, 2018 increased 1.2% from the third quarter of 2019. The increase resulted from the net impact of a 230 basis point increase in average occupancy and a 2.4% decline in realized rental rates. Same store operating expenses increased 2.7% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year period, the result of increased real estate taxes and internet marketing costs. The increases were offset by decreases in payroll and benefits, repair and maintenance, utilities, advertising, insurance and office and other operating expenses. This is the eighth straight quarter of declining payroll and benefits when comparing to the same period of the prior year. Same store NOI increased 0.4% in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019. The Companys 2020 same store pool consists of the 515 stabilized stores wholly owned since December 31, 2018. Two stores that were damaged from hurricanes in September 2020 were removed from the same store pool in the third quarter. Twenty-two of the stores purchased through December 31, 2019 at certificate of occupancy or that were in the early stages of lease-up are not included, regardless of their current occupancies. The Company believes that occupancy levels achieved during the lease-up period, using discounted rates, are not truly indicative of a new stores performance, and therefore do not result in a meaningful year-over-year comparison in future years. The Company will include such stores in its same store pool in the second year after the stores achieve 80% sustained occupancy using market rates and incentives. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS: During the quarter, the Company acquired 25 stabilized stores in New Jersey (6), Ohio (6), Texas (5), Pennsylvania (4), Florida (3), and Georgia (1) for a total purchase price of $326.7 million. Seventeen of the properties were acquired from Sovran HHF Storage Holdings LLC, a joint venture in which the Company has a 20% common interest, and eight of the properties were acquired from Sovran HHF Storage Holdings II LLC, a joint venture in which the Company has a 15% common interest. The net investment to acquire the properties was $295.3 million. During the third quarter, the Company entered into contracts to acquire three self-storage facilities in Missouri, New Jersey, and New York for an aggregate purchase price of $37.9 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company entered into contracts to acquire five self-storage facilities in Florida (2), South Carolina (2) and California (1) for an aggregate purchase price of $59.6 million. The purchases of these facilities are subject to customary conditions to closing, and there is no assurance that any of these facilities will be acquired. THIRD-PARTY MANAGEMENT: The Company continues to aggressively and profitably grow its third-party management platform. During the quarter, the Company added 30 stores. As of quarter end, the Company managed 317 facilities in total, including those in which it owns a minority interest. FINANCIAL POSITION: At September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $110.2 million of cash on hand, and approximately $500 million available on its line of credit.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 1,285,546 shares of common stock under its continuous equity offering program at a weighted average issue price of $105.51 per share, generating net proceeds after expenses of $134.2 million. Below are key financial ratios at September 30, 2020: Debt to Enterprise Value (at $105.27/share) 31.2% Debt to Book Cost of Storage Facilities 44.4% Debt to Recurring Annualized EBITDA 5.8x Debt Service Coverage 4.3x COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND: Subsequent to quarter end, the Companys Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $1.07 per share, or $4.28 annualized. The dividend was paid on October 26, 2020 to shareholders of record on October 13, 2020. YEAR 2020 EARNINGS GUIDANCE: Continued uncertainties resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruption across the country and its impact on customer demand in individual markets, continue to make it challenging to provide an outlook and guidance with reasonable accuracy. However, the Company believes it is well positioned to continue to strengthen its share of the resilient self-storage markets it serves due to its disciplined business model and a strong balance sheet to support its strategic initiatives. The Company will continue with suspension of quantitative guidance and revisit this practice next quarter.

Article: BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Life Storage, Inc. (NYSE:LSI), a leading national owner and operator of self-storage properties, reported operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Highlights for the Third Quarter Included: Joe Saffire, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, stated, We had a great quarter on many fronts. Our stores returned to positive top line revenue and NOI growth. We achieved record third quarter same store occupancy, up 290 basis points year-over-year at quarter end. We acquired 25 stores from two of our strategic joint venture partners and our acquisition pipeline remains robust. We added 30 stores to our third-party management platform as owners are drawn to our technology platforms and peer-leading same store performance. Our B2B platform, Warehouse Anywhere, achieved several positive customer pilot outcomes. And our balance sheet and liquidity position remain strong and support our ability to execute on our strategic initiatives. COVID-19 PANDEMIC: The COVID-19 global health crisis and related economic disruption has had an adverse effect on the Companys year-to-date financial results in 2020. However, the Company experienced several positive trends in the third quarter and October, which include: FINANCIAL RESULTS: In the third quarter of 2020, the Company generated net income attributable to common shareholders of $37.1 million or $0.78 per fully diluted common share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $140.0 million, or $2.99 per fully diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2019. Net income in the same quarter last year benefited from a $100.2 million gain on sale of storage facilities. Funds from operations for the quarter were $1.49 per fully diluted common share compared to $1.46 for the same period last year. After adjusting for the $1.5 million impact of uninsured damages and customer reinsurance claims associated with hurricane damage in September 2020, adjusted FFO per fully diluted common share for the quarter was $1.52, compared to $1.46 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. OPERATIONS: Same store revenues for the stabilized stores wholly owned by the Company since December 31, 2018 increased 1.2% from the third quarter of 2019. The increase resulted from the net impact of a 230 basis point increase in average occupancy and a 2.4% decline in realized rental rates. Same store operating expenses increased 2.7% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year period, the result of increased real estate taxes and internet marketing costs. The increases were offset by decreases in payroll and benefits, repair and maintenance, utilities, advertising, insurance and office and other operating expenses. This is the eighth straight quarter of declining payroll and benefits when comparing to the same period of the prior year. Same store NOI increased 0.4% in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019. The Companys 2020 same store pool consists of the 515 stabilized stores wholly owned since December 31, 2018. Two stores that were damaged from hurricanes in September 2020 were removed from the same store pool in the third quarter. Twenty-two of the stores purchased through December 31, 2019 at certificate of occupancy or that were in the early stages of lease-up are not included, regardless of their current occupancies. The Company believes that occupancy levels achieved during the lease-up period, using discounted rates, are not truly indicative of a new stores performance, and therefore do not result in a meaningful year-over-year comparison in future years. The Company will include such stores in its same store pool in the second year after the stores achieve 80% sustained occupancy using market rates and incentives. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS: During the quarter, the Company acquired 25 stabilized stores in New Jersey (6), Ohio (6), Texas (5), Pennsylvania (4), Florida (3), and Georgia (1) for a total purchase price of $326.7 million. Seventeen of the properties were acquired from Sovran HHF Storage Holdings LLC, a joint venture in which the Company has a 20% common interest, and eight of the properties were acquired from Sovran HHF Storage Holdings II LLC, a joint venture in which the Company has a 15% common interest. The net investment to acquire the properties was $295.3 million. During the third quarter, the Company entered into contracts to acquire three self-storage facilities in Missouri, New Jersey, and New York for an aggregate purchase price of $37.9 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company entered into contracts to acquire five self-storage facilities in Florida (2), South Carolina (2) and California (1) for an aggregate purchase price of $59.6 million. The purchases of these facilities are subject to customary conditions to closing, and there is no assurance that any of these facilities will be acquired. THIRD-PARTY MANAGEMENT: The Company continues to aggressively and profitably grow its third-party management platform. During the quarter, the Company added 30 stores. As of quarter end, the Company managed 317 facilities in total, including those in which it owns a minority interest. FINANCIAL POSITION: At September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $110.2 million of cash on hand, and approximately $500 million available on its line of credit. On September 23, 2020, the Company completed an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.2% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2030. The proceeds were used to fund a portion of the 25-store portfolio acquisition noted above, for general corporate purposes and to fund the October 2020 repayment of a $100 million term note due August 2021 and a related $4.0 million make-whole expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 1,285,546 shares of common stock under its continuous equity offering program at a weighted average issue price of $105.51 per share, generating net proceeds after expenses of $134.2 million. Below are key financial ratios at September 30, 2020: Debt to Enterprise Value (at $105.27/share) 31.2% Debt to Book Cost of Storage Facilities 44.4% Debt to Recurring Annualized EBITDA 5.8x Debt Service Coverage 4.3x COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND: Subsequent to quarter end, the Companys Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $1.07 per share, or $4.28 annualized. The dividend was paid on October 26, 2020 to shareholders of record on October 13, 2020.

Article: SHANGHAI and GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- I-Mab (the "Company") (Nasdaq: IMAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel biologics, today announced positive topline results from itsregionalmulti-center, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled phase 2 study (NCT03235752) evaluating the efficacy and safety of olamkicept (also known as TJ301) administered intravenously biweekly in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC). Olamkicept is the only clinical stage selective IL-6 inhibitor that works through the trans-signaling mechanism. IL-6 is an important driver cytokine in the propagation and maintenance of chronic inflammation in autoimmune diseases, such as UC. The phase 2 study, one of the first placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept studies of an IL-6 inhibitor in UC, has met both its primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints, demonstrating significantly higher clinical response rates after 12 weeks of treatment in patients receiving 600 mg olamkicept compared to those on placebo (p=0.032). Significantly more patients in the 600 mg olamkicept group achieved clinical remission and mucosal healing than in placebo (p<0.001), two key secondary endpoints of the study. Olamkicept was well tolerated, and with a very acceptable safety profile. Detailed data analysis will be presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2021 in the U.S. in May and at European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation (ECCO) meeting in July 2021. "We are very excited to see that olamkicept demonstrated significant clinical benefits for active UC patients in terms of safety and efficacy through this successful phase 2 study. This is the first demonstration that IL-6 blockade through the trans-signaling pathway plays a significant therapeutic role in UC. The study provides confidence for further clinical development of this differentiated IL-6 blocker as a treatment option for UC and IBD," said Prof. Minhu Chen, Chair of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Vice President at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, principal investigator of the study. I-Mab entered into a license agreement with Ferring Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize olamkicept for Greater China and South Korea in 2016. On April 23rd,2021, the Company and Ferring signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore a possible collaboration to advance the development and commercialization of olamkicept in US and Canada, the European Union and Japan, if so agreed. "There is an unmet need in the management of inflammatory bowel disease, such as UC, as current pharmacological therapies have significant side effects and develop resistance over time," said Dr. Joan Shen, CEO of I-Mab. "The positive phase 2 clinical data support our belief that olamkicept has the potential to become standard of care in UC, and we are excited by the prospect of exploring a broader reach to patients globally and offer a new treatment option." About Olamkicept Olamkicept is a homodimer of a fusion protein consisting of the extracellular domains of human glycoprotein130 ("gp130") and the fragment crystallizable (Fc) domain of human IgG1. It is the only clinical stage selective interleukin-6 ("IL-6") inhibitor that works through the trans-signaling mechanismwhich is considered an important mediator of the proinflammatory effects of IL-6. The existing IL-6 or IL-6R blockers cause total inhibition of IL-6 signaling, including inhibition of homeostatic effects, and are associated with significant adverse events such as infection, gastrointestinal perforation and metabolic disturbances. Olamkicept, on the other hand, is expected tohave more selective effect on the IL-6 driven inflammation and provide a better safety profile based on its mechanism of action and the data from preclinical and clinical studies. Olamkicept has the potential to be a best-in-class to treat UC and other autoimmune diseases where IL-6 is a critical inflammatory mediator. I-Mab acquired an exclusive license from Ferring Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize olamkicept in Greater China and South Korea with an option, on terms as further described in the licensing agreement, to expand I-Mab' rights to any of the mutually agreed upon countries from U.S, Canada, the European Union and Japan. About the olamkicept Phase 2 clinical study The study is a global multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial (NCT03235752). The primary efficacy endpoint is the percentage of subjects achieving a clinical response per Full Mayo Score at Week 12. The study was conducted at 27 sites in Mainland China, Taiwan and South Korea and enrolled 91 patients who had active ulcerative colitis with a full Mayo score 5, a rectal bleeding subscore 1, an endoscopy subscore 2, and had an inadequate response with conventional UC therapy. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive either olamkicept 300 mg biweekly, or olamkicept 600 mg biweekly or matching placebo, stratified by use of corticosteroids and prior biologics treatment. All endoscopic tests have been read and confirmed by an independent central review committee. About ulcerative colitis Ulcerative colitis ("UC") is an inflammatory bowel disease ("IBD") that causes chronic and often relapsing inflammation and ulceration of the colon and rectum, resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms that greatly affect the quality of life of patients. Disease complications may include megacolon, inflammation of the eye, joints, or liver, and colon cancer. Currently, there is no curative treatment for UC especially for those with a moderate-to-severe disease.

I-Mab Announces Positive Topline Phase 2 Results for Olamkicept in Ulcerative Colitis.
SHANGHAI and GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- I-Mab (the "Company") (Nasdaq: IMAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel biologics, today announced positive topline results from itsregionalmulti-center, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled phase 2 study (NCT03235752) evaluating the efficacy and safety of olamkicept (also known as TJ301) administered intravenously biweekly in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC). Olamkicept is the only clinical stage selective IL-6 inhibitor that works through the trans-signaling mechanism. IL-6 is an important driver cytokine in the propagation and maintenance of chronic inflammation in autoimmune diseases, such as UC. The phase 2 study, one of the first placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept studies of an IL-6 inhibitor in UC, has met both its primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints, demonstrating significantly higher clinical response rates after 12 weeks of treatment in patients receiving 600 mg olamkicept compared to those on placebo (p=0.032). Significantly more patients in the 600 mg olamkicept group achieved clinical remission and mucosal healing than in placebo (p<0.001), two key secondary endpoints of the study. Olamkicept was well tolerated, and with a very acceptable safety profile. Detailed data analysis will be presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2021 in the U.S. in May and at European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation (ECCO) meeting in July 2021. "We are very excited to see that olamkicept demonstrated significant clinical benefits for active UC patients in terms of safety and efficacy through this successful phase 2 study. This is the first demonstration that IL-6 blockade through the trans-signaling pathway plays a significant therapeutic role in UC. The study provides confidence for further clinical development of this differentiated IL-6 blocker as a treatment option for UC and IBD," said Prof. Minhu Chen, Chair of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Vice President at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, principal investigator of the study. I-Mab entered into a license agreement with Ferring Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize olamkicept for Greater China and South Korea in 2016. On April 23rd,2021, the Company and Ferring signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore a possible collaboration to advance the development and commercialization of olamkicept in US and Canada, the European Union and Japan, if so agreed. "There is an unmet need in the management of inflammatory bowel disease, such as UC, as current pharmacological therapies have significant side effects and develop resistance over time," said Dr. Joan Shen, CEO of I-Mab. "The positive phase 2 clinical data support our belief that olamkicept has the potential to become standard of care in UC, and we are excited by the prospect of exploring a broader reach to patients globally and offer a new treatment option." About Olamkicept Olamkicept is a homodimer of a fusion protein consisting of the extracellular domains of human glycoprotein130 ("gp130") and the fragment crystallizable (Fc) domain of human IgG1. It is the only clinical stage selective interleukin-6 ("IL-6") inhibitor that works through the trans-signaling mechanismwhich is considered an important mediator of the proinflammatory effects of IL-6. The existing IL-6 or IL-6R blockers cause total inhibition of IL-6 signaling, including inhibition of homeostatic effects, and are associated with significant adverse events such as infection, gastrointestinal perforation and metabolic disturbances. Olamkicept, on the other hand, is expected tohave more selective effect on the IL-6 driven inflammation and provide a better safety profile based on its mechanism of action and the data from preclinical and clinical studies. Olamkicept has the potential to be a best-in-class to treat UC and other autoimmune diseases where IL-6 is a critical inflammatory mediator. I-Mab acquired an exclusive license from Ferring Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize olamkicept in Greater China and South Korea with an option, on terms as further described in the licensing agreement, to expand I-Mab' rights to any of the mutually agreed upon countries from U.S, Canada, the European Union and Japan. About the olamkicept Phase 2 clinical study The study is a global multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial (NCT03235752). The primary efficacy endpoint is the percentage of subjects achieving a clinical response per Full Mayo Score at Week 12. The study was conducted at 27 sites in Mainland China, Taiwan and South Korea and enrolled 91 patients who had active ulcerative colitis with a full Mayo score 5, a rectal bleeding subscore 1, an endoscopy subscore 2, and had an inadequate response with conventional UC therapy. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive either olamkicept 300 mg biweekly, or olamkicept 600 mg biweekly or matching placebo, stratified by use of corticosteroids and prior biologics treatment. All endoscopic tests have been read and confirmed by an independent central review committee. About ulcerative colitis Ulcerative colitis ("UC") is an inflammatory bowel disease ("IBD") that causes chronic and often relapsing inflammation and ulceration of the colon and rectum, resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms that greatly affect the quality of life of patients. Disease complications may include megacolon, inflammation of the eye, joints, or liver, and colon cancer. Currently, there is no curative treatment for UC especially for those with a moderate-to-severe disease. There is a substantial unmet medical need in UC for a treatment agent(s) that is efficacious and safe through pathways beyond the traditional drug targets. About I-Mab I-Mab (Nasdaq: IMAB) is an innovation-driven global biotech company focusing on discovery, development and soon commercialization of novel and highly differentiated biologics in immuno-oncology therapeutic area.

Article: FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ichor Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICHR), a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems for semiconductor capital equipment, today announced first quarter 2021 financial results. Highlights for the first quarter of 2021: We are very pleased to report today a record quarter for Ichor, with revenues at the high end of our expectations and increasing 8% over a very strong fourth quarter, commented Jeff Andreson, chief executive officer of Ichor. Industry conditions for wafer fab equipment have continued to strengthen for four straight quarters now, and, in turn, we have demonstrated strong execution in a challenging operating environment in order to ramp our business in response to customer demand. In Q1, we again exhibited the operating leverage in our business model, with quarter-on-quarter increases in both gross margin and operating margin, while also delivering another quarter of strong free cash flow generation. Mr. Andreson concluded, Our current visibility through the end of 2021 indicates a stronger Q2 compared to Q1, a stronger second half compared to the first half, and continued incremental improvements to our profitability. With industry growth currently expected to continue through both this year and next year, we believe Ichor is extremely well-positioned to continue to deliver strong revenue growth and operational leverage. Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q1 2020 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) U.S. GAAP Financial Results: Net sales $ 264,566 $ 244,966 $ 220,028 Gross margin 14.9 % 14.0 % 13.1 % Operating margin 6.9 % 5.8 % 2.5 % Net income $ 14,638 $ 12,521 $ 3,399 Diluted EPS $ 0.51 $ 0.51 $ 0.15 Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q1 2020 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Non-GAAP Financial Results: Gross margin 16.1 % 15.8 % 13.8 % Operating margin 10.2 % 10.0 % 7.2 % Net income $ 21,725 $ 19,834 $ 12,058 Diluted EPS $ 0.76 $ 0.81 $ 0.52 U.S. GAAP Financial Results Overview For the first quarter of 2021, revenue was $264.6 million, net income was $14.6 million, and net income per diluted share (diluted EPS) was $0.51. This compares to revenue of $245.0 million and $220.0 million, net income of $12.5 million and $3.4 million, and diluted EPS of $0.51 and $0.15, for the fourth and first quarter of 2020, respectively. Non-GAAP Financial Results Overview For the first quarter of 2021, non-GAAP net income was $21.7 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.76. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $19.8 million and $12.1 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.81 and $0.52, for the fourth and first quarter of 2020, respectively. Second Quarter 2021 Financial Outlook For the second quarter of 2021, we expect revenue to be in the range of $270 million to $300 million. We expect GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.59 to $0.76 and non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.77 to $0.93. This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known charges related to amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, tax adjustments related to these non-GAAP adjustments, and non-recurring charges known at the time of providing this outlook. This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes any items that are unknown at this time, such as non-recurring tax-related items or other unusual items which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results We ended the first quarter of 2021 with cash of $242.9 million, a decrease of $10.0 million from the end of the prior quarter. The decrease from the end of the prior quarter was primarily due to payments on long-term debt of $32.2 million, of which $30.0 million was a paydown on our revolving credit facility, and capital expenditures of $5.4 million, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $25.6 million and net proceeds from the issuance of shares under our share-based compensation plans of $2.0 million. Our cash provided by operating activities of $25.6 million for the first quarter of 2021 consisted of net income of $14.6 million, net non-cash charges of $8.8 million, and a decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $2.2 million. Net non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $5.7 million, share-based compensation of $2.4 million, and deferred taxes of $0.5 million. The increase in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable of $22.1 million, partially offset by increases in inventories and accounts receivable of $9.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively, and a decrease in accrued liabilities of $3.5 million. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial results, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and free cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors ability to view our results from managements perspective. Non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, and net income are defined as: gross profit, operating income, or net income excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses, including contract settlement losses and facility shutdown costs, to the extent they are present in gross profit, operating income, and net income; and (2) the tax impacts associated with our non-GAAP adjustments, as well as non-recurring discrete tax items. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average diluted ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. Tables showing these metrics on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, with reconciliation footnotes thereto, are included at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP results have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP results differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, both of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP results as a tool for comparison. Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP results alongside other financial performance measures and results presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP results, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving non-GAAP results and you should not infer from our presentation of non-GAAP results that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. Conference Call We will conduct a conference call to discuss our first quarter 2021 results and business outlook on May 4, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. PDT. To listen to a live webcast of the call, please visit our investor relations website at ir.ichorsystems.com, or go to the live link at webcasts.eqs.com/ichorholdings20210504. To listen via telephone, please call (877) 407-0989 (domestic) or +1 (201) 389-0921 (international), conference ID: 13718578. After the call, an on-demand replay will be available at the same webcast link.

Ichor Holdings, Ltd. Announces First Quarter 2021 Financial Results.
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ichor Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICHR), a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems for semiconductor capital equipment, today announced first quarter 2021 financial results. Highlights for the first quarter of 2021: We are very pleased to report today a record quarter for Ichor, with revenues at the high end of our expectations and increasing 8% over a very strong fourth quarter, commented Jeff Andreson, chief executive officer of Ichor. Industry conditions for wafer fab equipment have continued to strengthen for four straight quarters now, and, in turn, we have demonstrated strong execution in a challenging operating environment in order to ramp our business in response to customer demand. In Q1, we again exhibited the operating leverage in our business model, with quarter-on-quarter increases in both gross margin and operating margin, while also delivering another quarter of strong free cash flow generation. Mr. Andreson concluded, Our current visibility through the end of 2021 indicates a stronger Q2 compared to Q1, a stronger second half compared to the first half, and continued incremental improvements to our profitability. With industry growth currently expected to continue through both this year and next year, we believe Ichor is extremely well-positioned to continue to deliver strong revenue growth and operational leverage. Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q1 2020 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) U.S. GAAP Financial Results: Net sales $ 264,566 $ 244,966 $ 220,028 Gross margin 14.9 % 14.0 % 13.1 % Operating margin 6.9 % 5.8 % 2.5 % Net income $ 14,638 $ 12,521 $ 3,399 Diluted EPS $ 0.51 $ 0.51 $ 0.15 Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q1 2020 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Non-GAAP Financial Results: Gross margin 16.1 % 15.8 % 13.8 % Operating margin 10.2 % 10.0 % 7.2 % Net income $ 21,725 $ 19,834 $ 12,058 Diluted EPS $ 0.76 $ 0.81 $ 0.52 U.S. GAAP Financial Results Overview For the first quarter of 2021, revenue was $264.6 million, net income was $14.6 million, and net income per diluted share (diluted EPS) was $0.51. This compares to revenue of $245.0 million and $220.0 million, net income of $12.5 million and $3.4 million, and diluted EPS of $0.51 and $0.15, for the fourth and first quarter of 2020, respectively. Non-GAAP Financial Results Overview For the first quarter of 2021, non-GAAP net income was $21.7 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.76. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $19.8 million and $12.1 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.81 and $0.52, for the fourth and first quarter of 2020, respectively. Second Quarter 2021 Financial Outlook For the second quarter of 2021, we expect revenue to be in the range of $270 million to $300 million. We expect GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.59 to $0.76 and non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.77 to $0.93. This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known charges related to amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, tax adjustments related to these non-GAAP adjustments, and non-recurring charges known at the time of providing this outlook. This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes any items that are unknown at this time, such as non-recurring tax-related items or other unusual items which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results We ended the first quarter of 2021 with cash of $242.9 million, a decrease of $10.0 million from the end of the prior quarter. The decrease from the end of the prior quarter was primarily due to payments on long-term debt of $32.2 million, of which $30.0 million was a paydown on our revolving credit facility, and capital expenditures of $5.4 million, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $25.6 million and net proceeds from the issuance of shares under our share-based compensation plans of $2.0 million. Our cash provided by operating activities of $25.6 million for the first quarter of 2021 consisted of net income of $14.6 million, net non-cash charges of $8.8 million, and a decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $2.2 million. Net non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $5.7 million, share-based compensation of $2.4 million, and deferred taxes of $0.5 million. The increase in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable of $22.1 million, partially offset by increases in inventories and accounts receivable of $9.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively, and a decrease in accrued liabilities of $3.5 million. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial results, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and free cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors ability to view our results from managements perspective. Non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, and net income are defined as: gross profit, operating income, or net income excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses, including contract settlement losses and facility shutdown costs, to the extent they are present in gross profit, operating income, and net income; and (2) the tax impacts associated with our non-GAAP adjustments, as well as non-recurring discrete tax items. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average diluted ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. Tables showing these metrics on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, with reconciliation footnotes thereto, are included at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP results have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP results differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, both of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP results as a tool for comparison. Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP results alongside other financial performance measures and results presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP results, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving non-GAAP results and you should not infer from our presentation of non-GAAP results that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. Conference Call We will conduct a conference call to discuss our first quarter 2021 results and business outlook on May 4, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. PDT.

Article: FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ichor Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICHR), a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems for semiconductor capital equipment, today announced first quarter 2021 financial results. Highlights for the first quarter of 2021: We are very pleased to report today a record quarter for Ichor, with revenues at the high end of our expectations and increasing 8% over a very strong fourth quarter, commented Jeff Andreson, chief executive officer of Ichor. Industry conditions for wafer fab equipment have continued to strengthen for four straight quarters now, and, in turn, we have demonstrated strong execution in a challenging operating environment in order to ramp our business in response to customer demand. In Q1, we again exhibited the operating leverage in our business model, with quarter-on-quarter increases in both gross margin and operating margin, while also delivering another quarter of strong free cash flow generation. Mr. Andreson concluded, Our current visibility through the end of 2021 indicates a stronger Q2 compared to Q1, a stronger second half compared to the first half, and continued incremental improvements to our profitability. With industry growth currently expected to continue through both this year and next year, we believe Ichor is extremely well-positioned to continue to deliver strong revenue growth and operational leverage. Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q1 2020 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) U.S. GAAP Financial Results: Net sales $ 264,566 $ 244,966 $ 220,028 Gross margin 14.9 % 14.0 % 13.1 % Operating margin 6.9 % 5.8 % 2.5 % Net income $ 14,638 $ 12,521 $ 3,399 Diluted EPS $ 0.51 $ 0.51 $ 0.15 Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q1 2020 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Non-GAAP Financial Results: Gross margin 16.1 % 15.8 % 13.8 % Operating margin 10.2 % 10.0 % 7.2 % Net income $ 21,725 $ 19,834 $ 12,058 Diluted EPS $ 0.76 $ 0.81 $ 0.52 U.S. GAAP Financial Results Overview For the first quarter of 2021, revenue was $264.6 million, net income was $14.6 million, and net income per diluted share (diluted EPS) was $0.51. This compares to revenue of $245.0 million and $220.0 million, net income of $12.5 million and $3.4 million, and diluted EPS of $0.51 and $0.15, for the fourth and first quarter of 2020, respectively. Non-GAAP Financial Results Overview For the first quarter of 2021, non-GAAP net income was $21.7 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.76. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $19.8 million and $12.1 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.81 and $0.52, for the fourth and first quarter of 2020, respectively. Second Quarter 2021 Financial Outlook For the second quarter of 2021, we expect revenue to be in the range of $270 million to $300 million. We expect GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.59 to $0.76 and non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.77 to $0.93. This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known charges related to amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, tax adjustments related to these non-GAAP adjustments, and non-recurring charges known at the time of providing this outlook. This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes any items that are unknown at this time, such as non-recurring tax-related items or other unusual items which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results We ended the first quarter of 2021 with cash of $242.9 million, a decrease of $10.0 million from the end of the prior quarter. The decrease from the end of the prior quarter was primarily due to payments on long-term debt of $32.2 million, of which $30.0 million was a paydown on our revolving credit facility, and capital expenditures of $5.4 million, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $25.6 million and net proceeds from the issuance of shares under our share-based compensation plans of $2.0 million. Our cash provided by operating activities of $25.6 million for the first quarter of 2021 consisted of net income of $14.6 million, net non-cash charges of $8.8 million, and a decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $2.2 million. Net non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $5.7 million, share-based compensation of $2.4 million, and deferred taxes of $0.5 million. The increase in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable of $22.1 million, partially offset by increases in inventories and accounts receivable of $9.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively, and a decrease in accrued liabilities of $3.5 million. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial results, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and free cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors ability to view our results from managements perspective. Non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, and net income are defined as: gross profit, operating income, or net income excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses, including contract settlement losses and facility shutdown costs, to the extent they are present in gross profit, operating income, and net income; and (2) the tax impacts associated with our non-GAAP adjustments, as well as non-recurring discrete tax items. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average diluted ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. Tables showing these metrics on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, with reconciliation footnotes thereto, are included at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP results have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP results differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, both of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP results as a tool for comparison. Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP results alongside other financial performance measures and results presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP results, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving non-GAAP results and you should not infer from our presentation of non-GAAP results that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. Conference Call We will conduct a conference call to discuss our first quarter 2021 results and business outlook on May 4, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. PDT.

Article: LAS VEGAS & TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flower One Holdings Inc. (Flower One or the Company) (CSE: FONE) (OTCQX: FLOOF) (FSE: F11), a leading cannabis cultivator and producer in Nevada, is pleased to announce the closing on March 17, 2021 of the third tranche of its 2021 convertible debenture offering. Im truly inspired every day by the amazing work our team does at Flower One, said Salpy Boyajian, Flower Ones Executive Vice President and Chairwoman of the Board. The overall progress and accomplishments we have made over the last several months are a direct reflection of the strength of Flower One. The company has closed the final tranche of its previously announced convertible debenture unit financing (the Offering), raising aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$2,550,383.99 (USD$2,008,302.88) (the Third Tranche). The third tranche of the Offering includes the issuance of an additional 2,546 convertible debenture units (each, a Debenture Unit) at a price of CAD$1,000 per Debenture Unit. Together with the first and second tranche of the Offering, the Company has issued a total of 24,118 Debenture Units, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately CAD$24,134,219.89 (USD$19,004,519.88), from a number of strategic investors including JW Asset Management. Each Debenture Unit consists of one 9.0% unsecured convertible debenture of the Company (each a Convertible Debenture) having a maturity date of three years from the date of issuance (the Maturity Date) and 1,923 common share purchase warrants (each a Warrant and collectively, the Warrants), representing a 50% warrant coverage, with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of CAD$0.39 at any time up to 36 months from the date of issuance. In the event that the common shares of the Company (each, a Common Share and collectively, the Common Shares) trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the CSE) at a closing price equal to or greater than CAD$0.90 for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company may implement an accelerated expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders of the Warrants of the accelerated expiry date and, thereafter, any unexercised Warrants will expire on the date that is ninety (90) days following the delivery of such notice. The principal amount of each Convertible Debenture (the Principal Amount) will be convertible, for no additional consideration, into Common Shares (each a Conversion Share and collectively, the Conversion Shares) at the option of the holder at any time prior to the earlier of: (i) the close of business on the Maturity Date, and (ii) the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Company for conversion of the Convertible Debentures upon the Common Shares trading on the CSE at a price greater than CAD$0.50 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days at a conversion price equal to CAD$0.26 (the Conversion Price). The Company may force the conversion of the principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Debentures at the Conversion Price should the trading price of the Common Shares on the CSE be greater than $0.50 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days. The Principal Amount and the interest accrued thereon will otherwise be payable in cash on the Maturity Date, and have a default interest rate of an additional 3%, for a total aggregate default interest rate of 12%. The Convertible Debentures issued under the Third Tranche also provide the holders thereof with the option to receive the early repayment of their Convertible Debentures (the Early Repayment Right) in the event that the previously announced amendments (the Amendments) to the Companys debenture indenture dated March 28, 2019 (the March Debenture Indenture) are not completed on or before June 15, 2021. The Early Repayment Right will terminate and be of no further force and effect upon holders representing 66 2/3% of the unsecured convertible debentures issued pursuant to the March Debenture Indenture agreeing with the Company to vote in favour of the Amendments. In connection with the Offering, the Company will pay finders fees to certain finders as follows: (i) payment in cash in amounts equal to between 2% and 4% of the aggregate gross proceeds from investors introduced to the Company by such finders; and (ii) units consisting of one share of common stock and one half warrant or, in one case, just warrants to acquire common stock, ranging from 4% to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds. The net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering, including the Third Tranche, are intended to be used for working capital, previous debt obligations, general corporate purposes, along with regular maintenance and improvements to the facility.

Article: NEW YORK, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- After facing scrutiny last spring, new research suggests that using cannabis to help treat and prevent COVID-19 isn't so far-fetched after all. Researchers at the University of Lethbridge are advancing to clinical trials after study results revealed that certain cannabis strains might help prevent COVID-19 patients from experiencing acute respiratory distress (ARDS). At the same time, Michigan State University professor of pharmacology and toxicology Norbert Kaminski is working with GB Sciences, a biopharmaceutical company, to develop a drug that prevents the lung inflammation that some experience after contracting COVID-19 that can lead to trouble breathing and death. The positive test results from these various studies bode well for cannabis companies that have a stake in the edibles and extracts sector, such as industry giants Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) (TSX:WEED), Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), Aphria (NASDAQ:APHA) (TSX:APHA), HEXO Corp. (NYSE:HEXO) (TSX:HEXO), and plant-based extraction company Pure Extracts Technologies (CSE:PULL) (OTCPK:PRXTF). Pure Extract Technologies, which is focused on producing the purest and highest quality cannabis oil at its all-new, state-of-the-art EU-GMP certified processing facility, has the ability to not only produce its own line of high-quality cannabis oil products but to distribute its concentrates through existing distribution channels. In January, Pure Extracts Technologies took advantage of low biomass prices by entering into a substantial purchase agreement in order to scale-up production of both its THC and CBD extracts. The company agreed to purchase 220 kilograms of high-potency cannabis dried flower from a large Canadian licensed producer and 1,000 kgs of high-potency CBD biomass from a top Western Canadian cultivator. Less than a month later, Pure Extracts Technologies announced its first commercial sale of its 85% pure CBD distillate, which is ideally suited for cannabis 2.0 products like edibles, vape pens, and cannabis-infused beverages. Pure Extracts has also been working on developing its own line of products and recently submitted a Notice of New Cannabis Product application to Health Canada and over 20 SKUs for its THC and CBD vapes and three different formulations of gummies. The company has also signed an agreement with fully integrated medical cannabis company Canada House Wellness Group, which will distribute its line of concentrate products through its established provincial distribution channels. While Pure Extracts Technologies is targeting the recreational adult-use cannabis market with its 34 proprietary formulations of 'Pure Pulls' full spectrum oil vapes and its new line of 'Pure Chews' edible gummies, the high-purity oil could be a good candidate for medical cannabis developments, including cannabis mouthwash that could potentially help in the fight against COVID-19. Researchers Develop Medical Cannabis Oral Rinse for Potential Treatment of COVID-19 In April 2020, pandemic panic sparked several sensational claims that cannabis could cure COVID-19, which were quickly chalked up to hearsay. However, more and more research is pointing to the plant's potential role in the fight against viral outbreaks like the coronavirus. For the last four years, University of Lethbridge biology professors Igor and Olga Kovalchuk have been working with cannabis strains around the world to create new hybrids that have certain therapeutic properties. In February 2021, the pair revealed that the results from their research demonstrate that certain high-CBD cannabis sativas have the potential to become a useful and safe addition to COVID-19 treatment and could be developed into preventative treatments in the form of mouthwash, inhalers, or throat gargles. While the professors still need to conduct animal and human studies to test the efficacy of the strains, the initial results are very promising. If cannabis mouth rinses prove to be a success, it could bode well for companies already involved in the infused beverages space. Canadian pharmaceutical and cannabis company Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY) entered the cannabis beverages space in 2019 through a joint venture with the world's largest brewer and Budweiser's parent company Anheuser-Busch. In December 2019, the JV announced that it would be launching CBD-infused teas in Canada, with non-alcoholic sparkling drinks to follow in 2020. In December 2019, their company Fluent Beverages launched its first 98% pure CBD-infused beverage. Tilraywill likely increase its cannabis beverage offerings following the announcement of an all-stock merger with Aphria (NASDAQ:APHA) (TSX:APHA). The $4 billion deal will not only make the pair the world's largest cannabis company by revenue, but it will also boost their cannabis beverage-making capabilities thanks to Aphria's recent purchase of Sweetwater Brewing. Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) (TSX:WEED)entered the cannabis beverage space in 2020 when it received backing from US alcoholic beverage giant Constellation Brands. The company launched its first THC-infused drink to the Canadian market in March 2020 and has continued to roll out its North American strategy. In November, Canopy expanded its beverage portfolio with a CBD-infused beverage line, which is now being launched in the US. Molson Coors Canada and Quebec-based cannabis producer HEXO Corp. (NYSE:HEXO) (TSX:HEXO) announced a similar partnership in 2019 and finally launched their cannabis-infused beverage to the market in August 2020 under the brand name Truss Beverage. In January 2021, Truss announced the US launch of Verywell, a new line of non-alcoholic sparkling CBD beverages, which will be available in Colorado. It's unclear whether or not cannabis beverage producers will have the opportunity to develop infused drinks with therapeutic properties, but with growing research and development surrounding the potential benefits of cannabis, it could very well become a reality. Plant-based extraction company Pure Extracts Technologies could also benefit the medical cannabis market with its high-purity extraction methods. In the meantime, the company is focused on building a presence in the cannabis edibles market. For more information on Pure Extracts Technologies (CSE:PULL) (OTC:PRXTF), please visit this link.

Pure Extract Technologies, which is focused on producing the purest and highest quality cannabis oil at its all-new, state-of-the-art EU-GMP certified processing facility, has the ability to not only produce its own line of high-quality cannabis oil products but to distribute its concentrates through existing distribution channels. In January, Pure Extracts Technologies took advantage of low biomass prices by entering into a substantial purchase agreement in order to scale-up production of both its THC and CBD extracts. The company agreed to purchase 220 kilograms of high-potency cannabis dried flower from a large Canadian licensed producer and 1,000 kgs of high-potency CBD biomass from a top Western Canadian cultivator. Less than a month later, Pure Extracts Technologies announced its first commercial sale of its 85% pure CBD distillate, which is ideally suited for cannabis 2.0 products like edibles, vape pens, and cannabis-infused beverages. Pure Extracts has also been working on developing its own line of products and recently submitted a Notice of New Cannabis Product application to Health Canada and over 20 SKUs for its THC and CBD vapes and three different formulations of gummies. The company has also signed an agreement with fully integrated medical cannabis company Canada House Wellness Group, which will distribute its line of concentrate products through its established provincial distribution channels. While Pure Extracts Technologies is targeting the recreational adult-use cannabis market with its 34 proprietary formulations of 'Pure Pulls' full spectrum oil vapes and its new line of 'Pure Chews' edible gummies, the high-purity oil could be a good candidate for medical cannabis developments, including cannabis mouthwash that could potentially help in the fight against COVID-19. Researchers Develop Medical Cannabis Oral Rinse for Potential Treatment of COVID-19 In April 2020, pandemic panic sparked several sensational claims that cannabis could cure COVID-19, which were quickly chalked up to hearsay. However, more and more research is pointing to the plant's potential role in the fight against viral outbreaks like the coronavirus. For the last four years, University of Lethbridge biology professors Igor and Olga Kovalchuk have been working with cannabis strains around the world to create new hybrids that have certain therapeutic properties. In February 2021, the pair revealed that the results from their research demonstrate that certain high-CBD cannabis sativas have the potential to become a useful and safe addition to COVID-19 treatment and could be developed into preventative treatments in the form of mouthwash, inhalers, or throat gargles. While the professors still need to conduct animal and human studies to test the efficacy of the strains, the initial results are very promising. If cannabis mouth rinses prove to be a success, it could bode well for companies already involved in the infused beverages space. Canadian pharmaceutical and cannabis company Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY) entered the cannabis beverages space in 2019 through a joint venture with the world's largest brewer and Budweiser's parent company Anheuser-Busch. In December 2019, the JV announced that it would be launching CBD-infused teas in Canada, with non-alcoholic sparkling drinks to follow in 2020. In December 2019, their company Fluent Beverages launched its first 98% pure CBD-infused beverage. Tilraywill likely increase its cannabis beverage offerings following the announcement of an all-stock merger with Aphria (NASDAQ:APHA) (TSX:APHA). The $4 billion deal will not only make the pair the world's largest cannabis company by revenue, but it will also boost their cannabis beverage-making capabilities thanks to Aphria's recent purchase of Sweetwater Brewing. Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) (TSX:WEED)entered the cannabis beverage space in 2020 when it received backing from US alcoholic beverage giant Constellation Brands. The company launched its first THC-infused drink to the Canadian market in March 2020 and has continued to roll out its North American strategy. In November, Canopy expanded its beverage portfolio with a CBD-infused beverage line, which is now being launched in the US. Molson Coors Canada and Quebec-based cannabis producer HEXO Corp. (NYSE:HEXO) (TSX:HEXO) announced a similar partnership in 2019 and finally launched their cannabis-infused beverage to the market in August 2020 under the brand name Truss Beverage. In January 2021, Truss announced the US launch of Verywell, a new line of non-alcoholic sparkling CBD beverages, which will be available in Colorado. It's unclear whether or not cannabis beverage producers will have the opportunity to develop infused drinks with therapeutic properties, but with growing research and development surrounding the potential benefits of cannabis, it could very well become a reality. Plant-based extraction company Pure Extracts Technologies could also benefit the medical cannabis market with its high-purity extraction methods. In the meantime, the company is focused on building a presence in the cannabis edibles market. For more information on Pure Extracts Technologies (CSE:PULL) (OTC:PRXTF), please visit this link.

Article: WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Retail sales continued to recover from the coronavirus pandemic in August, showing a gradual improvement from July and larger gains year-over-year, the National Retail Federation said today. While August retail sales numbers were a bit mixed, we believe the consumer is resilient and is in good shape as we head into the holiday season, NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. Over the past several months, consumers have responded well to federal relief measures that have supported the recovery, so it comes as no surprise that they would take a pause on spending as some of these programs tapered off at the end of July. We continue to advocate for additional stimulus measures to help the economy recover. With the holidays quickly approaching, our retailers are prepared to serve customers to meet all of their holiday needs and are embracing the new holiday tradition of shopping early. August was topsy-turvy as COVID-19 brought a lot of shifts and uncertainty regarding back-to-school spending and other issues but consumer spending remains intact even if sales grew less than July, NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz said. Retail spending habits have remained largely consistent and stable these past few months since stores began to reopen. Some consumers likely reduced their spending with the end of the $600 supplemental unemployment benefits for those out of work, but a building-up of savings from that and other government cash helped support spending. At this juncture, it is difficult to sort out how much economic activity is due to government support and how much is evidence of hardcore demand due to recent job gains. August numbers might have been higher if not for small businesses struggling with reopening and the return to full operations. The U.S. Census Bureau said today that overall retail sales during August were up 0.6 percent seasonally adjusted from July and up 2.6 percent year-over-year. That follows a 0.9 percent month-over-month increase in July. Retail sales have been climbing after a record monthly drop while most stores were closed in April. NRFs calculation of retail sales which excludes automobile dealers, gasoline stations and restaurants in order to focus on core retail showed August was up 0.1 percent seasonally adjusted from July and up 5.6 percent unadjusted year-over-year. NRFs results are different from the Census Bureaus figures because of the categories excluded by NRF. The August NRF numbers build on a 0.6 percent monthly increase and 9.6 percent year-over-year increase in July. NRFs numbers were up 8.5 percent unadjusted year-over-year on a three-month moving average. Just over half of retail categories saw month-over-month gains and two-thirds saw year-over-year increases. The biggest monthly gain came at clothing stores, but their sales remained far below last year. Specifics from key retail sectors during August include: About NRF The National Retail Federation, the worlds largest retail trade association, passionately advocates for the people, brands, policies and ideas that help retail thrive. From its headquarters in Washington, D.C., NRF empowers the industry that powers the economy. Retail is the nations largest private-sector employer, contributing $3.9 trillion to annual GDP and supporting one in four U.S. jobs 52 million working Americans.

Article: SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, and LF Networking (LFN), which facilitates collaboration and operational excellence across open source networking projects, today announced the Certified ONAP Professional (COP) exam, previously announced to be in development, is now generally available. COP is a three-hour, performance-based certification exam that provides assurance that a certificant has the ability to onboard Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), design and deploy network services, and configure VNFs. The exam is based on the Dublin release of ONAP. It is conducted remotely with a live proctor monitoring via webcam and screen sharing, and simulates on-the-job scenarios. The existing ONAP Fundamentals training course is also available to assist candidates in learning the proper use of ONAP and preparing for the exam. The certification exam tests specific domains and competencies including: Service Design Service Deployment Service LCM Troubleshooting Closed Loop Automation COP is designed for engineers at service providers and enterprises who develop, deploy, and scale their networks and next-generation services, especially in light of the growth in 5G and edge computing. The exam expects a baseline understanding of the underlying cloud platform, such as Kubernetes and OpenStack, and minimal familiarity with modeling languages like Heat and TOSCA. "Telecommunications may be the area of technology that has seen the most significant shift in terms of how networks are built and managed in recent years, and there is a tremendous need for upskilling and reskilling in this industry," said Clyde Seepersad, SVP and general manager of training & certification at The Linux Foundation. "It is essential we have accessible, high quality training available to help both new and existing workers in these industries to obtain the skills they need to utilize these new technologies, as well as verifiable ways of confirming those skills; this new exam helps accomplish that." "Global service providers need network automation and as ONAP increasingly becomes a de facto choice, re-training network admins and personnel is the highest priority," said Arpit Joshipura, general manager networking, edge & IOT at the Linux Foundation. The COP exam is available to be scheduled immediately. More information about the exam and topics covered in it is available here.

(NASDAQ: FFIN) today reported earnings for the third quarter of 2020 of $52.86 million compared with earnings of $43.08 million for the third quarter of 2019, representing a 22.69 percent increase. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.37 for the third quarter of 2020 compared with $0.32 for the third quarter of 2019. All amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, include the results of the Company's acquisition of TB&T Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bank & Trust of Bryan/College Station, Texas, which was effective January 1, 2020. "We are extremely pleased with our results for the third quarter and year-to-date reflecting our TEXAS STRONG initiative to navigate through the pandemic. Throughout this time, we have kept our doors open to allow our customers to keep their doors open as well. Our approach has proven to be very positive since approximately one-third of the PPP loans were made to prospects and noncustomers who couldn't get them done through their own bank allowing us to grow considerably in loans and deposits as well as trust assets. I am extremely proud of the dedication, hard work and excellent customer service that our 1,450 associates have provided through this time by guiding our customers through the PPP loan process, bringing an unbelievable amount of new business to the Company, and executing a record number of mortgages, all of which has certainly helped our bottom line. As already proven, we are well positioned to navigate through this environment with strong reserves, liquidity, superior capital levels, and a team that doesn't allow pandemics or hurricanes to slow us down. We are optimistic about finishing the year strong and rolling right into 2021," said F. Scott Dueser, Chairman, President and CEO of First Financial Bankshares, Inc. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $89.21 million, up $16.57 million from net interest income of $72.64 million for the third quarter of 2019. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.75 percent for the quarter compared to 3.94 percent a year ago. Net interest income was positively impacted by a $2.33 billion increase in average-earning assets to $9.80 billion at September 30, 2020, from both organic and acquired growth, partially offset by a 52 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets to 3.84 percent for the quarter; and $1.85 million in accretion from acquired loans this quarter compared to $415 thousand in the same quarter last year. Partially offsetting these amounts was a $5.79 million, or 54 basis points, decrease in funding costs on interest-bearing liabilities from the same quarter a year ago. During the third and second quarters of 2020, the Company recognized $2.83 million each quarter in deferred net loan fees on Paycheck Protection Program ('PPP") loans. PPP loans totaled $703.73 million at September 30, 2020 ($703.48 million and $430.84 million in average balances for the third quarter and year-to-date, respectively). The remainder of the PPP net deferred loan fees totaled $15.97 million at September 30, 2020 and continues to be amortized over the shorter of the repayment period or the contractual life of 24 months. Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, "Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("CECL"), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. However, the pandemic-related legislation included an option for entities to delay the implementation of CECL until the earlier of the termination date of the national emergency declaration by the President, or December 31, 2020. The Company elected to delay implementation of CECL and has calculated and recorded the provision for credit losses for the quarter and year-to-date under the incurred loss model that existed prior to CECL. The Company is prepared to adopt CECL during the fourth quarter, retroactively effective as of January 1, 2020, which will likely require adjusting previously reported provisions for credit losses in the previous quarters of 2020. The provision for credit losses was $9.00 million in the third quarter of 2020, including $1.50 million related to the provision for unfunded commitments, compared with $450 thousand in the third quarter of 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, net charge-offs totaled $409 thousand compared to $381 thousand in the third quarter of 2019. The Company's provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2020 continues to reflect uncertainty surrounding the economic impact caused by the pandemic and the decline in oil and gas prices. At September 30, 2020, the allowance for loan losses totaled $76.04 million, or 1.44 percent of loans held-for-investment ("loans" hereafter), or 1.66 percent of loans excluding PPP loans, compared to $51.89 million at September 30, 2019, or 1.27 percent of loans. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets totaled 0.81 percent at September 30, 2020, compared with 0.66 percent at September 30, 2019. Classified loans totaled $202.04 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $119.20 million at September 30, 2019. In mid-March of 2020, the Company began offering deferral and extensions of principle and/or interest payments to selected borrowers on a case-by-case basis. During the third quarter, we provided new or extended existing customers deferrals and extensions on a case-by-case basis considering the current and projected profile of the borrower. At September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately 122 loans totaling $18.65 million in outstanding loans subject to deferral and extension agreements, representing 0.41 percent of outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans compared to 2,200 loans totaling $468.54 million, or 10.30 percent of outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans, at June 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, loans with oil and gas industry exposure, excluding PPP loans, totaled $118.57 million, or 2.58 percent of outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans. These loans comprised $26.82 million of classified loans including $6.80 million in nonaccrual loans. At September 30, 2020, the Company's allowance for loan loss specific reserves on its oil and gas loan portfolio totaled 8.01 percent of total oil and gas loans, excluding PPP loans, and had net charge-offs totaling $801 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. There were no charge-offs associated with oil and gas loans during the third quarter of 2020. In addition, at September 30, 2020, loans in the retail/restaurant/hospitality industries, excluding PPP loans, totaled $359.02 million or 7.82 percent of the Company's outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans. These loans comprised $28.17 million of classified loans including $5.69 million in nonaccrual loans. Net charge-offs related to this portfolio totaled $26 thousand and $334 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2020 rose to $38.58 million from $28.67 million for the third quarter of 2019, as a result of the following: Trust fees increased to $7.46 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $7.05 million in the third quarter of 2019. The fair value of trust assets managed increased to $6.95 billion, up 9.36 percent at September 30, 2020 from $6.36 billion at September 30, 2019. Service charges on deposits were $5.01 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $5.63 million in the third quarter of 2019. The decline in service charge revenue in 2020 when compared to 2019 has primarily been driven by lower overdraft fees in the current year related to the effects of the pandemic and related stimulus programs, although service charge income increased $691 thousand in the third quarter over the second quarter of 2020. ATM, interchange and credit card fees increased to $8.64 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $7.73 million in the third quarter of 2019, driven by continued growth in the number of debit cards issued as well as our Bryan/College Station acquisition. Mortgage income increased to $15.23 million compared with $5.73 million in the third quarter of 2019 due to a significant increase in the volume of loans originated driven by the lower rate environment and the strong housing market in Texas. The Company's mortgage pipeline increased to $235.63 million as of September 30, 2020, when compared to $62.79 million at September 30, 2019. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $55.59 million compared to $48.91 million in the third quarter of 2019, as a result of the following: Salary, commissions and employee benefit costs totaled $33.65 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $28.55 million in the third quarter of 2019. The increase over the prior year was primarily driven by the Bryan/College Station acquisition, annual merit-based pay increases and higher mortgage related commissions and incentives. The $2.84 million increase in the third quarter of 2020 when compared to the second quarter of 2020 primarily resulted from the $3.62 million one-time deferral of salaries related to PPP loans in the second quarter of 2020 and a $1.30 million increase in mortgage related commissions and incentives partially offset by a decrease in other employee costs. Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2020 included conversion related costs totaling $583 thousand as a result of the Bryan/College Station acquisition, while no significant conversion related costs were incurred in the third quarters of 2020 and 2019. The Company's efficiency ratio in the third quarter of 2020 was 42.45 percent compared with 47.54 percent in the third quarter of 2019. As of September 30, 2020, consolidated assets for the Company totaled $10.57 billion compared to $8.11 billion at September 30, 2019. Loans totaled $5.29 billion at September 30, 2020, compared with loans of $4.10 billion at September 30, 2019, representing approximately 29 percent growth driven by the Bryan/College Station acquisition, PPP loans and organic growth. Deposits totaled $8.29 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $6.40 billion at September 30, 2019, representing approximately 30 percent growth driven by organic growth and the acquisition. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to 35.6 percent of total deposits at September 30, 2020 compared to 34.6 percent at September 30, 2019. Shareholders' equity rose to $1.62 billion as of September 30, 2020, compared to $1.21 billion at September 30, 2019, primarily from the Bryan/College Station acquisition, undistributed earnings and the net increase in the net unrealized gain on investment securities. At September 30, 2020, the Company's capital ratios significantly exceeded all well-capitalized requirements. About First Financial Bankshares, Inc.

First Financial Bankshares Announces Earnings For Third Quarter 2020.
ABILENE, Texas, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIN) today reported earnings for the third quarter of 2020 of $52.86 million compared with earnings of $43.08 million for the third quarter of 2019, representing a 22.69 percent increase. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.37 for the third quarter of 2020 compared with $0.32 for the third quarter of 2019. All amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, include the results of the Company's acquisition of TB&T Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bank & Trust of Bryan/College Station, Texas, which was effective January 1, 2020. "We are extremely pleased with our results for the third quarter and year-to-date reflecting our TEXAS STRONG initiative to navigate through the pandemic. Throughout this time, we have kept our doors open to allow our customers to keep their doors open as well. Our approach has proven to be very positive since approximately one-third of the PPP loans were made to prospects and noncustomers who couldn't get them done through their own bank allowing us to grow considerably in loans and deposits as well as trust assets. I am extremely proud of the dedication, hard work and excellent customer service that our 1,450 associates have provided through this time by guiding our customers through the PPP loan process, bringing an unbelievable amount of new business to the Company, and executing a record number of mortgages, all of which has certainly helped our bottom line. As already proven, we are well positioned to navigate through this environment with strong reserves, liquidity, superior capital levels, and a team that doesn't allow pandemics or hurricanes to slow us down. We are optimistic about finishing the year strong and rolling right into 2021," said F. Scott Dueser, Chairman, President and CEO of First Financial Bankshares, Inc. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $89.21 million, up $16.57 million from net interest income of $72.64 million for the third quarter of 2019. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.75 percent for the quarter compared to 3.94 percent a year ago. Net interest income was positively impacted by a $2.33 billion increase in average-earning assets to $9.80 billion at September 30, 2020, from both organic and acquired growth, partially offset by a 52 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets to 3.84 percent for the quarter; and $1.85 million in accretion from acquired loans this quarter compared to $415 thousand in the same quarter last year. Partially offsetting these amounts was a $5.79 million, or 54 basis points, decrease in funding costs on interest-bearing liabilities from the same quarter a year ago. During the third and second quarters of 2020, the Company recognized $2.83 million each quarter in deferred net loan fees on Paycheck Protection Program ('PPP") loans. PPP loans totaled $703.73 million at September 30, 2020 ($703.48 million and $430.84 million in average balances for the third quarter and year-to-date, respectively). The remainder of the PPP net deferred loan fees totaled $15.97 million at September 30, 2020 and continues to be amortized over the shorter of the repayment period or the contractual life of 24 months. Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, "Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("CECL"), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. However, the pandemic-related legislation included an option for entities to delay the implementation of CECL until the earlier of the termination date of the national emergency declaration by the President, or December 31, 2020. The Company elected to delay implementation of CECL and has calculated and recorded the provision for credit losses for the quarter and year-to-date under the incurred loss model that existed prior to CECL. The Company is prepared to adopt CECL during the fourth quarter, retroactively effective as of January 1, 2020, which will likely require adjusting previously reported provisions for credit losses in the previous quarters of 2020. The provision for credit losses was $9.00 million in the third quarter of 2020, including $1.50 million related to the provision for unfunded commitments, compared with $450 thousand in the third quarter of 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, net charge-offs totaled $409 thousand compared to $381 thousand in the third quarter of 2019. The Company's provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2020 continues to reflect uncertainty surrounding the economic impact caused by the pandemic and the decline in oil and gas prices. At September 30, 2020, the allowance for loan losses totaled $76.04 million, or 1.44 percent of loans held-for-investment ("loans" hereafter), or 1.66 percent of loans excluding PPP loans, compared to $51.89 million at September 30, 2019, or 1.27 percent of loans. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets totaled 0.81 percent at September 30, 2020, compared with 0.66 percent at September 30, 2019. Classified loans totaled $202.04 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $119.20 million at September 30, 2019. In mid-March of 2020, the Company began offering deferral and extensions of principle and/or interest payments to selected borrowers on a case-by-case basis. During the third quarter, we provided new or extended existing customers deferrals and extensions on a case-by-case basis considering the current and projected profile of the borrower. At September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately 122 loans totaling $18.65 million in outstanding loans subject to deferral and extension agreements, representing 0.41 percent of outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans compared to 2,200 loans totaling $468.54 million, or 10.30 percent of outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans, at June 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, loans with oil and gas industry exposure, excluding PPP loans, totaled $118.57 million, or 2.58 percent of outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans. These loans comprised $26.82 million of classified loans including $6.80 million in nonaccrual loans. At September 30, 2020, the Company's allowance for loan loss specific reserves on its oil and gas loan portfolio totaled 8.01 percent of total oil and gas loans, excluding PPP loans, and had net charge-offs totaling $801 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. There were no charge-offs associated with oil and gas loans during the third quarter of 2020. In addition, at September 30, 2020, loans in the retail/restaurant/hospitality industries, excluding PPP loans, totaled $359.02 million or 7.82 percent of the Company's outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans. These loans comprised $28.17 million of classified loans including $5.69 million in nonaccrual loans. Net charge-offs related to this portfolio totaled $26 thousand and $334 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2020 rose to $38.58 million from $28.67 million for the third quarter of 2019, as a result of the following: Trust fees increased to $7.46 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $7.05 million in the third quarter of 2019. The fair value of trust assets managed increased to $6.95 billion, up 9.36 percent at September 30, 2020 from $6.36 billion at September 30, 2019. Service charges on deposits were $5.01 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $5.63 million in the third quarter of 2019. The decline in service charge revenue in 2020 when compared to 2019 has primarily been driven by lower overdraft fees in the current year related to the effects of the pandemic and related stimulus programs, although service charge income increased $691 thousand in the third quarter over the second quarter of 2020. ATM, interchange and credit card fees increased to $8.64 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $7.73 million in the third quarter of 2019, driven by continued growth in the number of debit cards issued as well as our Bryan/College Station acquisition. Mortgage income increased to $15.23 million compared with $5.73 million in the third quarter of 2019 due to a significant increase in the volume of loans originated driven by the lower rate environment and the strong housing market in Texas. The Company's mortgage pipeline increased to $235.63 million as of September 30, 2020, when compared to $62.79 million at September 30, 2019. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $55.59 million compared to $48.91 million in the third quarter of 2019, as a result of the following: Salary, commissions and employee benefit costs totaled $33.65 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $28.55 million in the third quarter of 2019. The increase over the prior year was primarily driven by the Bryan/College Station acquisition, annual merit-based pay increases and higher mortgage related commissions and incentives. The $2.84 million increase in the third quarter of 2020 when compared to the second quarter of 2020 primarily resulted from the $3.62 million one-time deferral of salaries related to PPP loans in the second quarter of 2020 and a $1.30 million increase in mortgage related commissions and incentives partially offset by a decrease in other employee costs. Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2020 included conversion related costs totaling $583 thousand as a result of the Bryan/College Station acquisition, while no significant conversion related costs were incurred in the third quarters of 2020 and 2019. The Company's efficiency ratio in the third quarter of 2020 was 42.45 percent compared with 47.54 percent in the third quarter of 2019. As of September 30, 2020, consolidated assets for the Company totaled $10.57 billion compared to $8.11 billion at September 30, 2019. Loans totaled $5.29 billion at September 30, 2020, compared with loans of $4.10 billion at September 30, 2019, representing approximately 29 percent growth driven by the Bryan/College Station acquisition, PPP loans and organic growth. Deposits totaled $8.29 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $6.40 billion at September 30, 2019, representing approximately 30 percent growth driven by organic growth and the acquisition. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to 35.6 percent of total deposits at September 30, 2020 compared to 34.6 percent at September 30, 2019. Shareholders' equity rose to $1.62 billion as of September 30, 2020, compared to $1.21 billion at September 30, 2019, primarily from the Bryan/College Station acquisition, undistributed earnings and the net increase in the net unrealized gain on investment securities. At September 30, 2020, the Company's capital ratios significantly exceeded all well-capitalized requirements. About First Financial Bankshares, Inc.

Article: ABILENE, Texas, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIN) today reported earnings for the third quarter of 2020 of $52.86 million compared with earnings of $43.08 million for the third quarter of 2019, representing a 22.69 percent increase. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.37 for the third quarter of 2020 compared with $0.32 for the third quarter of 2019. All amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, include the results of the Company's acquisition of TB&T Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bank & Trust of Bryan/College Station, Texas, which was effective January 1, 2020. "We are extremely pleased with our results for the third quarter and year-to-date reflecting our TEXAS STRONG initiative to navigate through the pandemic. Throughout this time, we have kept our doors open to allow our customers to keep their doors open as well. Our approach has proven to be very positive since approximately one-third of the PPP loans were made to prospects and noncustomers who couldn't get them done through their own bank allowing us to grow considerably in loans and deposits as well as trust assets. I am extremely proud of the dedication, hard work and excellent customer service that our 1,450 associates have provided through this time by guiding our customers through the PPP loan process, bringing an unbelievable amount of new business to the Company, and executing a record number of mortgages, all of which has certainly helped our bottom line. As already proven, we are well positioned to navigate through this environment with strong reserves, liquidity, superior capital levels, and a team that doesn't allow pandemics or hurricanes to slow us down. We are optimistic about finishing the year strong and rolling right into 2021," said F. Scott Dueser, Chairman, President and CEO of First Financial Bankshares, Inc. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $89.21 million, up $16.57 million from net interest income of $72.64 million for the third quarter of 2019. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.75 percent for the quarter compared to 3.94 percent a year ago. Net interest income was positively impacted by a $2.33 billion increase in average-earning assets to $9.80 billion at September 30, 2020, from both organic and acquired growth, partially offset by a 52 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets to 3.84 percent for the quarter; and $1.85 million in accretion from acquired loans this quarter compared to $415 thousand in the same quarter last year. Partially offsetting these amounts was a $5.79 million, or 54 basis points, decrease in funding costs on interest-bearing liabilities from the same quarter a year ago. During the third and second quarters of 2020, the Company recognized $2.83 million each quarter in deferred net loan fees on Paycheck Protection Program ('PPP") loans. PPP loans totaled $703.73 million at September 30, 2020 ($703.48 million and $430.84 million in average balances for the third quarter and year-to-date, respectively). The remainder of the PPP net deferred loan fees totaled $15.97 million at September 30, 2020 and continues to be amortized over the shorter of the repayment period or the contractual life of 24 months. Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, "Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("CECL"), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. However, the pandemic-related legislation included an option for entities to delay the implementation of CECL until the earlier of the termination date of the national emergency declaration by the President, or December 31, 2020. The Company elected to delay implementation of CECL and has calculated and recorded the provision for credit losses for the quarter and year-to-date under the incurred loss model that existed prior to CECL. The Company is prepared to adopt CECL during the fourth quarter, retroactively effective as of January 1, 2020, which will likely require adjusting previously reported provisions for credit losses in the previous quarters of 2020. The provision for credit losses was $9.00 million in the third quarter of 2020, including $1.50 million related to the provision for unfunded commitments, compared with $450 thousand in the third quarter of 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, net charge-offs totaled $409 thousand compared to $381 thousand in the third quarter of 2019. The Company's provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2020 continues to reflect uncertainty surrounding the economic impact caused by the pandemic and the decline in oil and gas prices. At September 30, 2020, the allowance for loan losses totaled $76.04 million, or 1.44 percent of loans held-for-investment ("loans" hereafter), or 1.66 percent of loans excluding PPP loans, compared to $51.89 million at September 30, 2019, or 1.27 percent of loans. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets totaled 0.81 percent at September 30, 2020, compared with 0.66 percent at September 30, 2019. Classified loans totaled $202.04 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $119.20 million at September 30, 2019. In mid-March of 2020, the Company began offering deferral and extensions of principle and/or interest payments to selected borrowers on a case-by-case basis. During the third quarter, we provided new or extended existing customers deferrals and extensions on a case-by-case basis considering the current and projected profile of the borrower. At September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately 122 loans totaling $18.65 million in outstanding loans subject to deferral and extension agreements, representing 0.41 percent of outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans compared to 2,200 loans totaling $468.54 million, or 10.30 percent of outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans, at June 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, loans with oil and gas industry exposure, excluding PPP loans, totaled $118.57 million, or 2.58 percent of outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans. These loans comprised $26.82 million of classified loans including $6.80 million in nonaccrual loans. At September 30, 2020, the Company's allowance for loan loss specific reserves on its oil and gas loan portfolio totaled 8.01 percent of total oil and gas loans, excluding PPP loans, and had net charge-offs totaling $801 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. There were no charge-offs associated with oil and gas loans during the third quarter of 2020. In addition, at September 30, 2020, loans in the retail/restaurant/hospitality industries, excluding PPP loans, totaled $359.02 million or 7.82 percent of the Company's outstanding loans, excluding PPP loans. These loans comprised $28.17 million of classified loans including $5.69 million in nonaccrual loans. Net charge-offs related to this portfolio totaled $26 thousand and $334 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2020 rose to $38.58 million from $28.67 million for the third quarter of 2019, as a result of the following: Trust fees increased to $7.46 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $7.05 million in the third quarter of 2019. The fair value of trust assets managed increased to $6.95 billion, up 9.36 percent at September 30, 2020 from $6.36 billion at September 30, 2019. Service charges on deposits were $5.01 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $5.63 million in the third quarter of 2019. The decline in service charge revenue in 2020 when compared to 2019 has primarily been driven by lower overdraft fees in the current year related to the effects of the pandemic and related stimulus programs, although service charge income increased $691 thousand in the third quarter over the second quarter of 2020. ATM, interchange and credit card fees increased to $8.64 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $7.73 million in the third quarter of 2019, driven by continued growth in the number of debit cards issued as well as our Bryan/College Station acquisition. Mortgage income increased to $15.23 million compared with $5.73 million in the third quarter of 2019 due to a significant increase in the volume of loans originated driven by the lower rate environment and the strong housing market in Texas. The Company's mortgage pipeline increased to $235.63 million as of September 30, 2020, when compared to $62.79 million at September 30, 2019. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $55.59 million compared to $48.91 million in the third quarter of 2019, as a result of the following: Salary, commissions and employee benefit costs totaled $33.65 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $28.55 million in the third quarter of 2019. The increase over the prior year was primarily driven by the Bryan/College Station acquisition, annual merit-based pay increases and higher mortgage related commissions and incentives. The $2.84 million increase in the third quarter of 2020 when compared to the second quarter of 2020 primarily resulted from the $3.62 million one-time deferral of salaries related to PPP loans in the second quarter of 2020 and a $1.30 million increase in mortgage related commissions and incentives partially offset by a decrease in other employee costs. Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2020 included conversion related costs totaling $583 thousand as a result of the Bryan/College Station acquisition, while no significant conversion related costs were incurred in the third quarters of 2020 and 2019. The Company's efficiency ratio in the third quarter of 2020 was 42.45 percent compared with 47.54 percent in the third quarter of 2019. As of September 30, 2020, consolidated assets for the Company totaled $10.57 billion compared to $8.11 billion at September 30, 2019. Loans totaled $5.29 billion at September 30, 2020, compared with loans of $4.10 billion at September 30, 2019, representing approximately 29 percent growth driven by the Bryan/College Station acquisition, PPP loans and organic growth. Deposits totaled $8.29 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $6.40 billion at September 30, 2019, representing approximately 30 percent growth driven by organic growth and the acquisition. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to 35.6 percent of total deposits at September 30, 2020 compared to 34.6 percent at September 30, 2019. Shareholders' equity rose to $1.62 billion as of September 30, 2020, compared to $1.21 billion at September 30, 2019, primarily from the Bryan/College Station acquisition, undistributed earnings and the net increase in the net unrealized gain on investment securities. At September 30, 2020, the Company's capital ratios significantly exceeded all well-capitalized requirements. About First Financial Bankshares, Inc.

Article: DUBLIN, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "ADAS and Autonomous Driving Tier 1 Suppliers Report, 2020-2021" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Autonomous Driving Tier1 Supplier Research: centralized implementation of L2+, middleware layout of Tier 1 suppliers The ADAS revenue of foreign Tier 1 suppliers declines amid the pandemicThe outbreak of COVID-19 has led to the declining demand for automobiles and the temporary suspension of production in the automobile industry. In this case, the overall revenue of most Tier1 suppliers has fallen sharply as they have difficulties in business development. For example, more than 40% of Continental's 249 production bases around the world decided in April 2020 to temporarily suspend production for several days or several weeks in order to protect employees and respond to lower demand.Tier 1 suppliers actively promote the mass implementation of L2 autonomous driving, and L3 autonomous driving enters the marketWhile Tier 1 suppliers' normal production is hindered, the technology of L2/L3 autonomous driving is advancing in an orderly manner.From January to November 2020, 57 domestic auto brands launched 208 L2 models, and sold 2.60 million vehicles with a year-on-year upsurge of 118.9% thanks to the efforts of Tier 1 suppliers. For example, Bosch helped 40 local models achieve L2 autonomous driving in 2019, and focused on the implementation of L2+ autonomous driving in 2020.Benefiting from the effective control over the domestic epidemic, Chinese Tier1 suppliers have constantly launched new products. Among them, Huawei and Baidu have attracted the most attention from the market. Huawei has successively unveiled perception layer products such as radar and LiDAR, as well as decision layer products like intelligent driving computing platform MDC and intelligent driving operating system AOS. Baidu APOLLO has released the autonomous driving computing platform ACU (1.0/2.0/3.0) and the L2 intelligent driving solution ANP, and also has successively landed in Changsha, Cangzhou, and Beijing with Robotaxi which is fully open to the society for operation.With the introduction of HD maps, Tier 1 suppliers have assisted OEMs to head towards L3 autonomous driving. Xpeng P7, GAC Aion LX and other models with L3 autonomous driving have debuted successively.Foreign Tier 1 suppliers dabble in middleware, while domestic Tier 1 suppliers are deeply tied up with OEMs From the perspective of autonomous driving products and scenarios, Bosch, Continental and ZF have the most comprehensive layout among foreign Tier1 suppliers. Both Bosch and ZF launched middleware designed for autonomous driving in 2020. As for the domestic Tier 1 suppliers, Huawei and Desay SV take the lead in the perception layout; however, all the domestic Tier1 suppliers are absent in the field of actuation.In July 2020, Bosch launched Iceoryx, a middleware for advanced autonomous driving, compatible with ROS2 and Adaptive AutoSAR interfaces to meet the requirements of different development periods (pre-ROS, mass production of Autosar)In December 2020, ZF released ZF Middleware, providing a modular solution that can be integrated into automakers' software platforms. At the same time, the middleware will be installed on mass-produced vehicles in 2024.It is worth noting that foreign Tier 1 suppliers dabble in underlying system R&D and build a bridge between system and software applications while accomplishing functions. Bosch and ZF have successively released middleware products, hoping to centrally configure autonomous driving solutions for OEMs through a comprehensive sensor layout so as to simplify system integration, lower development costs and accelerate product launch.The domestic Tier 1 suppliers (Huawei, Alibaba and Baidu) have teamed up with OEMs to launch autonomous driving and other technologies by in-depth cooperation or establishment of joint ventures to jointly help automakers build high-end brands or accelerate transformation to electrification, connectivity, intelligence and sharing.Summary Comparing the development models of Tier 1 suppliers at home and abroad, emerging Tier 1 suppliers represented by Huawei and Mobileye directly penetrate into OEMs, deeply participate in product R&D, and position themselves as Tier 0.5 suppliers. For example, at the beginning of BAIC ARCFOX R&D, Huawei directly took part in R&D of many system functions of the vehicle, including smart driving, smart cockpit and smart electronics. Similarly, Mobileye acted as a Tier 0.5 supplier amid the cooperation with Geely Lynk & Co. Previously, Mobileye only supplied semi-finished components to Tier 1 suppliers, but now it is responsible for the complete solution stack for the first time, including hardware, software, drive strategy and control. Mobileye will also provide a multi-domain controller and provide software OTA updates after the system is deployed.The emergence of the Tier 0.5 cooperation model will reshape the cooperation pattern of the traditional automobile industry chain.

Global and China ADAS and Autonomous Driving Tier 1 Suppliers Report 2021: Tier 1 Suppliers Actively Promote Mass Implementation of L2 Autonomous Driving, and L3 Autonomous Driving Enters the Market.
DUBLIN, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "ADAS and Autonomous Driving Tier 1 Suppliers Report, 2020-2021" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Autonomous Driving Tier1 Supplier Research: centralized implementation of L2+, middleware layout of Tier 1 suppliers The ADAS revenue of foreign Tier 1 suppliers declines amid the pandemicThe outbreak of COVID-19 has led to the declining demand for automobiles and the temporary suspension of production in the automobile industry. In this case, the overall revenue of most Tier1 suppliers has fallen sharply as they have difficulties in business development. For example, more than 40% of Continental's 249 production bases around the world decided in April 2020 to temporarily suspend production for several days or several weeks in order to protect employees and respond to lower demand.Tier 1 suppliers actively promote the mass implementation of L2 autonomous driving, and L3 autonomous driving enters the marketWhile Tier 1 suppliers' normal production is hindered, the technology of L2/L3 autonomous driving is advancing in an orderly manner.From January to November 2020, 57 domestic auto brands launched 208 L2 models, and sold 2.60 million vehicles with a year-on-year upsurge of 118.9% thanks to the efforts of Tier 1 suppliers. For example, Bosch helped 40 local models achieve L2 autonomous driving in 2019, and focused on the implementation of L2+ autonomous driving in 2020.Benefiting from the effective control over the domestic epidemic, Chinese Tier1 suppliers have constantly launched new products. Among them, Huawei and Baidu have attracted the most attention from the market. Huawei has successively unveiled perception layer products such as radar and LiDAR, as well as decision layer products like intelligent driving computing platform MDC and intelligent driving operating system AOS. Baidu APOLLO has released the autonomous driving computing platform ACU (1.0/2.0/3.0) and the L2 intelligent driving solution ANP, and also has successively landed in Changsha, Cangzhou, and Beijing with Robotaxi which is fully open to the society for operation.With the introduction of HD maps, Tier 1 suppliers have assisted OEMs to head towards L3 autonomous driving.

The rising prevalence of road accidents is rapidly becoming a serious issue in several countries around the world. Moreover, road accidents are claiming more and more lives all over the world every year, owing to which, traffic regulatory authorities in various countries are increasingly adopting intelligent traffic cameras. These cameras capture video sequences and images of vehicles and then analyze this data with the help of face recognition, motion analysis, and other high-level image processing techniques.The compressed video data and information are then transferred to the concerned authorities via a secure network for further video analysis. The soaring population levels in several emerging economies such as China, Brazil, and India are pushing up the incidence of road accidents, which is, in turn, boosting the demand for higher road safety. Due to this reason, the sales of intelligent traffic cameras are surging sharply in these countries.In India, a pilot project for the country's first intelligent traffic system (ITS) was launched in February 2019. Under this project, several smart traffic systems equipped with intelligent traffic cameras and smart traffic signals were installed at as many as four locations in the areas where the road traffic remains high throughout the day. Thus, with the growing usage of intelligent traffic cameras in several countries, the global intelligent traffic camera market will demonstrate rapid expansion in the future.Additionally, because of the rapid urbanization, rising road congestion levels in major cities and urban areas, and the rising prevalence of road accidents, the governments of several developing nations of APAC such as China and India are making huge investments in road traffic infrastructure and traffic management solutions, including the installation of intelligent traffic cameras for catching the violators. These factors would augment the usage of intelligent traffic cameras in this region in the coming years.Thus, with the rising incidence of road crashes and increasing road congestion, the requirement for intelligent traffic cameras will shoot-up across the world in the upcoming years.Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1.

"It is not conservation. It's time for trophy hunters to stop hiding behind this ridiculous claim and admit that trophy hunting is just killing for fun."Among the exhibitors are 351 outfitters that together offer hunting packages to kill at least 319 species in 70 countries. These include hunts for the "African Big Five"elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards and Cape buffalosand the "Tiny Ten," which are small African antelope species some weighing less than eight pounds.The Dallas Safari Club auction is expected to generate $3.5 million in revenue for the organization. The 185 items include donated hunts to kill at least 205 animals in 24 countries, among them: elephants, giraffes, hippos, Cape buffalos and crocodiles. There are at least 16 U.S. canned hunts being auctioned off.

Article: FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Canara HSBC Oriental Bank of Commerce Life Insurance was two weeks away from closing its fiscal year when COVID-19 hit and a nationwide lock-down was implemented. But the company continued to move forward, accelerating the remote work strategy it had initiated years earlier using digital workspace solutions from Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS). The announcement was made one night and within the next two to three days, our team members were at work from their new home environments, recalls Mr. Sachin Dutta, Chief Operating Officer, Canara HSBC Oriental Bank of Commerce Life Insurance. And because we already had Citrix in place, we were able to ensure they had secure and reliable access to the applications and information they needed to be successful.

Within one day of Canara HSBC Oriental Bank of Commerce Life Insurance transitioning its call center employees to remote locations, customers were able to reach them and the services they would expect in a normal scenario resumed. Without Citrix, Mr. Dutta isnt sure if the outcome would have been the same.

Article: ST. HELIER, Jersey--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Novocure (NASDAQ: NVCR) today announced an update regarding its phase 3 pivotal LUNAR trial of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following platinum failure. Following a routine review of the study by an independent data monitoring committee (DMC), Novocure was informed that the pre-specified interim analysis for the LUNAR trial would be accelerated given the length of accrual and the number of events observed, to date. The interim analysis included data from 210 patients accrued to the LUNAR trial through February 2021. After review of the interim analysis report, the DMC concluded that the LUNAR trial should continue with no evidence of increased systemic toxicity. The DMC also stated that it is likely unnecessary and possibly unethical for patients randomized to the control arm to continue accrual to 534 patients with 18 months follow-up. The DMC recommended a reduced sample size of approximately 276 patients with 12 months follow-up which it believes will provide sufficient overall power for both primary and secondary endpoints. The DMC recommended no other changes to the design of the trial. Novocure remains blinded to all data. The primary endpoint of the LUNAR trial is superior overall survival when patients are treated with TTFields plus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel versus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel alone. The final analysis will also include an analysis of overall survival in the immune checkpoint inhibitor and docetaxel treatment subgroups. Novocure has notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the DMC recommendations and of its intent to submit an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) supplement incorporating the recommended protocol adjustments. We are very pleased with the DMC recommendations, which we believe support the potential for TTFields to make a significant difference in treatment outcomes for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, whether used together with immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel, said William Doyle, Novocures Executive Chairman. The accelerated interim analysis with an encouraging outcome adds to the accumulating evidence of Tumor Treating Fields broad potential across a range of hard-to-treat cancers. Combination therapy is a cornerstone of cancer care, and we believe using TTFields together with other cancer treatments, including immunotherapies, may lead to better outcomes for some patients, continued Mr. Doyle. We are very encouraged that, consistent with our expectations, the DMC concluded that TTFields exhibited no systemic toxicity. We will continue to develop TTFields as a limited toxicity backbone therapy upon which other standard-of-care and emerging cancer treatments can be added. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and NSCLC accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancers. It is estimated that approximately 193,000 patients are diagnosed with NSCLC each year in the U.S. and approximately 46,000 patients receive second-line treatment for stage 4 NSCLC each year in the U.S. Physicians use different combinations of surgery, radiation and pharmacological therapies to treat NSCLC, depending on the stage of the disease. TTFields is intended principally for use together with other standard-of-care treatments, and LUNAR was designed to generate data that contemplates multiple outcomes, all of which Novocure believes will be clinically meaningful. The completion of the LUNAR interim analysis is an important milestone for Novocure, said Asaf Danziger, Novocures CEO. We are grateful to the DMC members for their diligence, guidance and support, and are looking forward to working closely with the FDA on amendments to the protocol given the DMCs recommendations. Pending regulatory approval, the recommended protocol adjustments could accelerate trial completion by more than a year. We look forward to sharing final data from the LUNAR trial as quickly as possible. About LUNAR LUNAR is a phase 3 pivotal trial testing the effectiveness of TTFields in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel versus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel alone for patients with stage 4 NSCLC who progressed during or after platinum-based therapy. It is estimated that approximately 46,000 patients receive second-line treatment for stage 4 NSCLC each year in the U.S. The primary endpoint is superior overall survival of patients treated with TTFields plus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel versus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel alone. TTFields is intended principally for use in combination with other standard-of-care treatments, and LUNAR was designed to generate data that contemplates multiple outcomes, all of which Novocure believes will be clinically meaningful. About Tumor Treating Fields Tumor Treating Fields, or TTFields, are electric fields that disrupt cancer cell division. When cancer develops, rapid and uncontrolled division of unhealthy cells occurs. Electrically charged proteins within the cell are critical for cell division, making the rapidly dividing cancer cells vulnerable to electrical interference. All cells are surrounded by a bilipid membrane, which separates the interior of the cell, or cytoplasm, from the space around it. This membrane prevents low frequency electric fields from entering the cell. TTFields, however, have a unique frequency range, between 100 to 500 kHz, enabling the electric fields to penetrate the cancer cell membrane. As healthy cells differ from cancer cells in their division rate, geometry and electric properties, the frequency of TTFields can be tuned to specifically affect the cancer cells while leaving healthy cells mostly unaffected. Whether cells are healthy or cancerous, cell division, or mitosis, is the same. When mitosis starts, charged proteins within the cell, or microtubules, form the mitotic spindle. The spindle is built on electric interaction between its building blocks. During division, the mitotic spindle segregates the chromosomes, pulling them in opposite directions. As the daughter cells begin to form, electrically polarized molecules migrate towards the midline to make up the mitotic cleavage furrow. The furrow contracts and the two daughter cells separate. TTFields can interfere with these conditions. When TTFields are present in a dividing cancer cell, they cause the electrically charged proteins to align with the directional forces applied by the field, thus preventing the mitotic spindle from forming. Electrical forces also interrupt the migration of key proteins to the cell midline, disrupting the formation of the mitotic cleavage furrow. Interfering with these key processes disrupts mitosis and can lead to cell death. TTFields is intended principally for use together with other standard-of-care cancer treatments. There is a growing body of evidence that supports TTFields' broad applicability with certain other cancer therapies, including radiation therapy, certain chemotherapies and certain immunotherapies. In clinical research and commercial experience to date, TTFields has exhibited no systemic toxicity, with mild to moderate skin irritation being the most common side effect. Fundamental scientific research extends across two decades and, in all preclinical research to date, TTFields has demonstrated a consistent anti-mitotic effect. The TTFields global development program includes a broad range of clinical trials across all phases, included four phase 3 pivotal trials in a variety of tumor types. To date, more than 18,000 patients have been treated with TTFields. Use of Tumor Treating Fields for the treatment of NSCLC is investigational only.

We are grateful to the DMC members for their diligence, guidance and support, and are looking forward to working closely with the FDA on amendments to the protocol given the DMCs recommendations. Pending regulatory approval, the recommended protocol adjustments could accelerate trial completion by more than a year. We look forward to sharing final data from the LUNAR trial as quickly as possible. About LUNAR LUNAR is a phase 3 pivotal trial testing the effectiveness of TTFields in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel versus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel alone for patients with stage 4 NSCLC who progressed during or after platinum-based therapy. It is estimated that approximately 46,000 patients receive second-line treatment for stage 4 NSCLC each year in the U.S. The primary endpoint is superior overall survival of patients treated with TTFields plus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel versus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel alone. TTFields is intended principally for use in combination with other standard-of-care treatments, and LUNAR was designed to generate data that contemplates multiple outcomes, all of which Novocure believes will be clinically meaningful. About Tumor Treating Fields Tumor Treating Fields, or TTFields, are electric fields that disrupt cancer cell division. When cancer develops, rapid and uncontrolled division of unhealthy cells occurs. Electrically charged proteins within the cell are critical for cell division, making the rapidly dividing cancer cells vulnerable to electrical interference. All cells are surrounded by a bilipid membrane, which separates the interior of the cell, or cytoplasm, from the space around it. This membrane prevents low frequency electric fields from entering the cell. TTFields, however, have a unique frequency range, between 100 to 500 kHz, enabling the electric fields to penetrate the cancer cell membrane. As healthy cells differ from cancer cells in their division rate, geometry and electric properties, the frequency of TTFields can be tuned to specifically affect the cancer cells while leaving healthy cells mostly unaffected. Whether cells are healthy or cancerous, cell division, or mitosis, is the same. When mitosis starts, charged proteins within the cell, or microtubules, form the mitotic spindle. The spindle is built on electric interaction between its building blocks. During division, the mitotic spindle segregates the chromosomes, pulling them in opposite directions. As the daughter cells begin to form, electrically polarized molecules migrate towards the midline to make up the mitotic cleavage furrow. The furrow contracts and the two daughter cells separate. TTFields can interfere with these conditions. When TTFields are present in a dividing cancer cell, they cause the electrically charged proteins to align with the directional forces applied by the field, thus preventing the mitotic spindle from forming. Electrical forces also interrupt the migration of key proteins to the cell midline, disrupting the formation of the mitotic cleavage furrow. Interfering with these key processes disrupts mitosis and can lead to cell death. TTFields is intended principally for use together with other standard-of-care cancer treatments. There is a growing body of evidence that supports TTFields' broad applicability with certain other cancer therapies, including radiation therapy, certain chemotherapies and certain immunotherapies. In clinical research and commercial experience to date, TTFields has exhibited no systemic toxicity, with mild to moderate skin irritation being the most common side effect. Fundamental scientific research extends across two decades and, in all preclinical research to date, TTFields has demonstrated a consistent anti-mitotic effect. The TTFields global development program includes a broad range of clinical trials across all phases, included four phase 3 pivotal trials in a variety of tumor types. To date, more than 18,000 patients have been treated with TTFields. Use of Tumor Treating Fields for the treatment of NSCLC is investigational only.

Novocure Announces Update on Phase 3 Pivotal LUNAR Trial of Tumor Treating Fields in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Pre-specified interim analysis concluded with favorable recommendation to continue the LUNAR trial DMC stated accrual to 534 patients is likely unnecessary and possibly unethical for patients randomized to control arm and recommended a shortened trial

Article: ST. HELIER, Jersey--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Novocure (NASDAQ: NVCR) today announced an update regarding its phase 3 pivotal LUNAR trial of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following platinum failure. Following a routine review of the study by an independent data monitoring committee (DMC), Novocure was informed that the pre-specified interim analysis for the LUNAR trial would be accelerated given the length of accrual and the number of events observed, to date. The interim analysis included data from 210 patients accrued to the LUNAR trial through February 2021. After review of the interim analysis report, the DMC concluded that the LUNAR trial should continue with no evidence of increased systemic toxicity. The DMC also stated that it is likely unnecessary and possibly unethical for patients randomized to the control arm to continue accrual to 534 patients with 18 months follow-up. The DMC recommended a reduced sample size of approximately 276 patients with 12 months follow-up which it believes will provide sufficient overall power for both primary and secondary endpoints. The DMC recommended no other changes to the design of the trial. Novocure remains blinded to all data. The primary endpoint of the LUNAR trial is superior overall survival when patients are treated with TTFields plus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel versus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel alone. The final analysis will also include an analysis of overall survival in the immune checkpoint inhibitor and docetaxel treatment subgroups. Novocure has notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the DMC recommendations and of its intent to submit an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) supplement incorporating the recommended protocol adjustments. We are very pleased with the DMC recommendations, which we believe support the potential for TTFields to make a significant difference in treatment outcomes for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, whether used together with immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel, said William Doyle, Novocures Executive Chairman. The accelerated interim analysis with an encouraging outcome adds to the accumulating evidence of Tumor Treating Fields broad potential across a range of hard-to-treat cancers. Combination therapy is a cornerstone of cancer care, and we believe using TTFields together with other cancer treatments, including immunotherapies, may lead to better outcomes for some patients, continued Mr. Doyle. We are very encouraged that, consistent with our expectations, the DMC concluded that TTFields exhibited no systemic toxicity. We will continue to develop TTFields as a limited toxicity backbone therapy upon which other standard-of-care and emerging cancer treatments can be added. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and NSCLC accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancers. It is estimated that approximately 193,000 patients are diagnosed with NSCLC each year in the U.S. and approximately 46,000 patients receive second-line treatment for stage 4 NSCLC each year in the U.S. Physicians use different combinations of surgery, radiation and pharmacological therapies to treat NSCLC, depending on the stage of the disease. TTFields is intended principally for use together with other standard-of-care treatments, and LUNAR was designed to generate data that contemplates multiple outcomes, all of which Novocure believes will be clinically meaningful. The completion of the LUNAR interim analysis is an important milestone for Novocure, said Asaf Danziger, Novocures CEO.

ESPOO, Finland, June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --IQM Finland Oy (IQM), a leading European company for quantum computer hardware, was just awarded a 2.5M grant and up to 15M of equity investment from the EIC Accelerator program for the development of quantum computers, benefiting the industry and the society at large. Together with Business Finland grants of 3.3M that IQM received so far, the company is on a fast run with more than 20M more raised in less than a year from its 11.4M seed round, summing in total to 32M.

IQM staff is excited to work together with VTT, Aalto University, and CSC in this ecosystem," rejoices Prof. Mikko Mttnen, Chief Scientist and co-founder of IQM.This announcement was followed by the German government with 2b and to immediately commission the construction of at least two quantum computers. IQM sees this as an ideal point to expand its operations in Germany."With our growing team in Munich, IQM will build co-design quantum computers for commercial applications and install testing facilities for quantum processors," states Prof. Enrique Solano, CEO of IQM Germany. Quantum computing will radically transform the lives of billions of people.

Article: LONDON, June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists and experts in public health and tobacco control are highlighting the need for 1.1 billion smokers, and millions of adults who have switched away from smoking, to access appropriately regulated safer nicotine products such as vapes (e-cigarettes), Swedish snus, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco products, an approach called tobacco harm reduction. Participants can watch the GFN 2020 conference taking place online today and tomorrow. (PRNewsfoto/KAC Communications) This year, the seventh annual Global Forum on Nicotine (GFN), the only international conference focused on safer nicotine products' role in reducing smoking-related harms, is a free online conference (Thursday 11/Friday 12 June) due to COVID-19. Thirty experts are speaking on a diverse range of topics related to nicotine, including the latest evidence on the interplay between nicotine, smoking and COVID-19; the impact of the deliberate and continued misattribution of the so-called "EVALI" lung-injury crisis to nicotine vaping instead of illicit THC; moral panics over low youth vaping rates taking precedence over the health of millions of adult smokers and vapers and Big Philanthropy's effect on global public health. Smoking is the single biggest cause of non-communicable disease (NCD). It kills half of all those who smoke. The Global Burden of Disease study estimates that smoking directly accounted for 7.1 million premature deaths in 2017, with an additional 1.2 million deaths attributed to second-hand smoke.For decades it has been known that it is the burning of tobacco, and the release and inhalation of smoke, that causes disease. Nicotine itself is not a carcinogen. The UK Royal College of Physicians recognised in a 2016 report that "any long-term hazards of nicotine are likely to be of minimal consequence in relation to those associated with continued tobacco use."While tobacco control efforts led by international agencies such as the WHO have lowered global smoking rates, much remains to be done. 80% of the world's smokers live in low and middle income countries, those least able to implement tobacco control measures and with healthcare systems least able to cope with the disease burden of smoking.Many smokers can quit alone or with nicotine replacement therapies (NRT). Many cannot, or are unable to access or afford NRT. Where available and affordable, safer nicotine products such as vapes and snus give smokers more options to leave combustible tobacco behind. International tobacco control operates along prohibitionist lines, despite harm reduction approaches being successfully integrated into the response to many other public health issues since the 1980s.GFN conference director Professor Gerry Stimson, emeritus professor at Imperial College London and former honorary professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said:"Tobacco harm reduction is good public health. It starts with the people who matter people who smoke, and people who have switched to a chosen alternative and it fosters and encourages change. Tobacco harm reduction is not antithetical to tobacco control; it should be part of it."Currently, obstacles to widespread adoption of tobacco harm reduction include big US philanthropic foundations with a myopic view of tobacco control, creating divisions where none should exist, and international organisations wedded to a narrow view of what defines success. The global public health community must develop more ambition about what can be done as well as a healthy dose of compassion for the individuals living with the consequences of inaction, of whom around seven million will die this year."Professor David Sweanor, of the Centre for Health Law, Policy and Ethics at the University of Ottawa, is a speaker at GFN. As a lawyer, he was instrumental in regulation of tobacco products and in lawsuits against tobacco companies. He said:"Consumers in many countries including Sweden, Norway, Iceland and now Japan have shown they move to alternatives to cigarettes when they get an option to. Imagine what would happen if people get access to a broad range of low-risk alternatives to cigarettes, if they get information on relative risk, and if they're nudged toward those options through intelligent, risk-proportionate regulation? The opportunity we have is to fundamentally change the course of public health history, relegating cigarettes to history's ashtray."Usually, GFN is funded solely by registration fees. This year, it is offered for free with the organisers bearing the cost. The event has an open door policy. Consumers, policymakers, academics, scientists and public health experts participate alongside representatives from manufacturers and distributors of safer nicotine products. The event organisers believe that dialogue and strategic engagement of all stakeholders involved in tobacco and nicotine use, control and production is the only way to effect true, sustainable change - both to industry practices and the public health outcomes related to smoking.Access #GFN20: https://gfn.eventsPhoto - https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1178962/KAC_Communications_GFN_2020.jpgSOURCE KAC CommunicationsMedia Contact: Ruth Goldsmith [emailprotected] +48-501-188-768 KAC Communications Related Links https://gfn.events/ Just write a title.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

Article: SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Beyond.Inc, a leading strategic consulting organization focused on board-level advisory services and mentorship, today launched its suite of products designed to build a new generation of leaders. The Beyond.Inc approach uses psychology-based insights, coupled with leading business practices, to enable great leaders to make great organizations. Under development for more than four years, including hundreds of hours of discussions with Silicon Valley leaders, the consistent issue addressed was fear. Fear impacts the leader, the team, and the entire organization if not addressed. Too often the obstacles in our path are put there by ourselves, says Todd Wilms, CEO of Beyond.Inc Institutions of higher learning are teaching practical business skills, but short-change students on the psychological aspects of leading and growing an organization. Beyond.Inc surveyed 1,000 U.S. business decision-makers and eight out of 10 (82%) responded they had some level of fear about starting something new (i.e., a new hobby, a new job/career), with 12% of fearful respondents listing a very fearful response. Beyond.Incs approach focuses on removing obstacles and rethinking fear. Fear in leadership historically was viewed as something to tackle and control. However, with fear as an ally, leadership opens up to new possibilities and new innovations. Features and benefits of the Beyond.Inc suite include: We found the Beyond.Inc approach and mentoring is significant for our up-and-coming leaders, as well as few seasoned veterans, said Antonio Trincao, CEO of YouCan, a virtual experience event company. The Beyond.Inc approach is built on trust, yielding both a strategic influence on the organization as well as directly strengthening our team to support our growth. We experienced tangible benefits to our leaders focus, communication, and collaboration with the organization. Essentially, they built us up and prepared us for the rocky journey of startup organizations.

Article: VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -Trilogy Metals Inc. (TSX: TMQ)(NYSE American: TMQ) ("Trilogy Metals" or "the Company") announces its financial results for the year and fourth quarter ended November 30, 2020. Details of the Company's financial results are contained in the audited consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis in our annual report on Form 10-K which will be available on the Company's website at www.trilogymetals.com, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. All amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise stated. Highlights Ambler Mining District Industrial Access Project receives final federal permits Feasibility Study for the Arctic Project completed and NI 43-101 report filed Strong cash position of $11.1M and $10.4M in working capital at year end Ambler Metals LLC ("Ambler Metals"), our joint venture with South32 Limited, has $81.7 million cash and $58.5 million loan receivable dedicated to advancing the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects ("UKMP") 2020 Project Activities AMDIAP The Ambler Mining District Industrial Project ("AMDIAP" or "Ambler Access Project") reached significant project milestones. On March 27, 2020, the BLM, the lead federal agency for the permitting of the AMDIAP, released the Final Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") for the AMDIAP. This follows on the Draft EIS completed on August 23, 2019. On July 23, 2020, the BLM issued the Joint Record of Decision ("JROD") for the Ambler Road Project. Along with the JROD, a Section 404 Permit, which is governed by the Clean Water Act, was issued by the United States Army Corp. of Engineers to the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority ("AIDEA"). On January 6, 2021, BLM, NPS and AIDEA signed Right-of-Way agreements giving AIDEA the ability to cross federally owned and managed lands along the route for the Ambler Access Project approved in the JROD. The authorizing documents with the two agencies are the final federal permits required for the Ambler Access Project. Arctic Feasibility Study The Company announced the positive results of its feasibility study for the Arctic Copper-Zinc-Lead-Silver-Gold Project (the "Arctic FS") on August 20, 2020. The Arctic FS describes the technical and economic viability of establishing a conventional open-pit copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold mine and mill complex for a 10,000 tonne per day operation for a minimum 12-year mine life. The Arctic FS resulted in a pre-tax Net Present Value ("NPV")8% of $1.6 Billion and an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 31% for the base case and an after-tax NPV8% of $1.1 Billion and after-tax IRR of 27% for the base case. The base case scenario utilized long-term metal prices of $3.00/lb for copper, $1.10/lb for zinc, $1.00/lb for lead, $1,300/oz for gold and $18.00/oz for silver. At current spot metals prices of $3.55/lb copper, $1.18/lb zinc, $0.91/lb lead, $1,833/oz gold and $26.63/oz silver, the pre-tax NPV8% is $2.4 Billion and IRR is 40.1% and after-tax NPV8% is $1.7 Billion and IRR is 35.1%. Tony Giardini, the Company's President and CEO states, "Due to the polymetallic nature of the deposit, Arctic not only contains a significant amount of base metals but it will produce a significant amount of precious metals. The Arctic FS estimated an average annual payable gold and silver production of 32,000 ounces and 3.4 million ounces respectfully which, in total, represents 16% of Arctic's net revenue." On October 2, 2020, we filed the technical report for the Company's Arctic Project entitled "Arctic Feasibility Study Alaska, USA NI 43-101 Technical Report" with an effective date of August 20, 2020, prepared by Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc., Wood Canada Limited and SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (the "Arctic FS Technical Report"). Please refer to the Arctic FS Technical Report for additional information. Outlook for 2021 On November 19, 2020, the Company announced the approval of the 2021 program and budget for Ambler Metals of approximately $27 million to advance the UKMP. The budget is fully funded by Ambler Metals. Activities planned at the Arctic Project include 7,600 meters of drilling which will have the dual purpose of extracting additional material for metallurgical work and for the conversion of mineral resources into the measured category. The metallurgical program that is associated with this drilling will support variability test work and pilot plant work which will commence later in 2021. Engineering work will continue at Arctic with the aim of submitting the application for the Notice of Intent for the 404 Dredge and Fill Permit, which is covered by the Clean Water Act, to the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The Company currently anticipates Ambler Metals will submit the permit applications during the second half of 2021. Following up from the 2019 work performed along the 70-mile (100 kilometer) Ambler volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") belt, Ambler Metals will continue exploration efforts along the belt to discover and define additional deposits that may provide additional feed to a future Arctic mill. Ambler Metals plans to conduct a 7,000-meter regional exploration drill campaign which is expected to commence in early summer and finish before the end of September. The drilling may be preceded by detailed geologic mapping, geochemical soil sampling and ground geophysics. The Company has approved a 2021 cash budget for corporate activities of approximately $5.3 million, which includes personnel and related costs of $2.0 million, professional fees of $1.1 million, investor relations and marketing costs of $0.6 million, office related costs of $0.5 million, insurance costs of $0.4 million and regulatory costs of $0.3 million. The Company's management team is focused on the oversight of our investment in Ambler Metals and will closely work with Ambler Metals as it starts its first field season as a new team and prepares to submit the permit applications for the development and operation of the Arctic Project during the second half of the year. The Company's technical staff will work closely with South32's technical team and Ambler Metals exploration staff to review opportunities on advancing its known deposits and look at potential new targets in the large land package that is held by Ambler Metals. Annual Financial Results The following selected annual information is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. in thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts Selected financial results Year ended November 30, 2020 $ Year ended November 30, 2019 $ Year ended November 30, 2018 $ General and administrative 1,650 1,838 1,532 Mineral properties and feasibility study 2,610 19,211 16,490 Professional fees 1,347 1,382 453 Salaries 1,411 1,314 1,467 Salaries technical services 898 - - Salaries stock-based compensation 3,564 3,845 1,441 Loss held for trading of investments - - 272 Gain on derecognition of assets contributed to the joint venture (175,770) - - Equity in investee 2,855 - - Comprehensive earnings (loss) for the year 161,767 (27,905) (21,849) Basic earnings (loss) per common share 1.14 (0.21) (0.18) Diluted earnings (loss) per common share 1.12 (0.21) (0.18) For the year ended November 30, 2020, we reported a net earnings of $161.8 million (or $1.14 basic earnings and $1.12 diluted earnings per common share) compared to a net loss in 2019 of $27.9 million (or $0.21 basic and diluted loss per common share) and a net loss of $21.8 million in 2018 (or $0.18 basic and diluted loss per common share). The 2020 movement to net earnings was primarily due to the $175.8 million gain realized on the derecognition of assets contributed to Ambler Metals, offset by our 50% share of Ambler Metal's net operating loss and feasibility study charges incurred for the Arctic Project subsequent to the formation of the joint venture. Mineral properties expense was eliminated after the contribution of mineral properties to the joint venture at the end of the first quarter of 2020. This resulted in a significant cost savings of $17.7 million in relation to the prior year comparative. Going forward, all project related costs will be captured through our 50% equity recognition of Ambler Metal's operating loss. Adding to the variances in 2020 were incremental decreases in general and administrative expenses, professional fees and stock-based compensation offset by an increase in salaries. The increase in salaries resulted from the addition of management during the current year for which there is no prior year comparative. Pursuant to a services agreement between the Company and Ambler Metals, $0.9 million of salaries and wages were incurred by the Company in support of Ambler Metal's back office while the joint venture company set up its permanent team. The 2019 movement in net loss was primarily due to the increased size and magnitude of the field programs undertaken at our mineral properties. Adding to this variance in 2019 were incremental increases in general and administrative expenses, professional fees and stock-based compensation offset by a slight decrease in salaries. Additionally, there were losses recognized on both the sale of investments as well as investments designated as held for trading in the prior year that did not exist in the fiscal 2019 year. We executed a $18.2 million program at the UKMP in 2019, with $9.2 million on the Bornite Project funded by South32 under the Option Agreement, $2 million on a new regional exploration program funded 50/50 by Trilogy Metals and South32 and $7 million on the Arctic Project funded entirely by Trilogy Metals. Liquidity and Capital Resources At November 30, 2020, we had $11.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $10.4 million. We expended $8.3 million on operating activities during the 2020 fiscal year compared with $23.5 million for operating activities for the same period in 2019, and expenditures of $22.1 million for operating activities for the same period in 2018. A majority of cash spent on operating activities during all periods was expended on mineral property expenses, general and administrative expenses, salaries and professional fees. Ambler Metals assumed responsibility for project funding upon formation on February 11, 2020. At November 30, 2020, Ambler Metals is well funded with $81.7 million cash and $58.5 million loan receivable from South32, all funding is 100% dedicated to advancing the UKMP. Qualified Persons Richard Gosse, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration for Trilogy Metals Inc., is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

On January 6, 2021, BLM, NPS and AIDEA signed Right-of-Way agreements giving AIDEA the ability to cross federally owned and managed lands along the route for the Ambler Access Project approved in the JROD. The authorizing documents with the two agencies are the final federal permits required for the Ambler Access Project. Arctic Feasibility Study The Company announced the positive results of its feasibility study for the Arctic Copper-Zinc-Lead-Silver-Gold Project (the "Arctic FS") on August 20, 2020. The Arctic FS describes the technical and economic viability of establishing a conventional open-pit copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold mine and mill complex for a 10,000 tonne per day operation for a minimum 12-year mine life. The Arctic FS resulted in a pre-tax Net Present Value ("NPV")8% of $1.6 Billion and an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 31% for the base case and an after-tax NPV8% of $1.1 Billion and after-tax IRR of 27% for the base case. The base case scenario utilized long-term metal prices of $3.00/lb for copper, $1.10/lb for zinc, $1.00/lb for lead, $1,300/oz for gold and $18.00/oz for silver. At current spot metals prices of $3.55/lb copper, $1.18/lb zinc, $0.91/lb lead, $1,833/oz gold and $26.63/oz silver, the pre-tax NPV8% is $2.4 Billion and IRR is 40.1% and after-tax NPV8% is $1.7 Billion and IRR is 35.1%. Tony Giardini, the Company's President and CEO states, "Due to the polymetallic nature of the deposit, Arctic not only contains a significant amount of base metals but it will produce a significant amount of precious metals. The Arctic FS estimated an average annual payable gold and silver production of 32,000 ounces and 3.4 million ounces respectfully which, in total, represents 16% of Arctic's net revenue." On October 2, 2020, we filed the technical report for the Company's Arctic Project entitled "Arctic Feasibility Study Alaska, USA NI 43-101 Technical Report" with an effective date of August 20, 2020, prepared by Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc., Wood Canada Limited and SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (the "Arctic FS Technical Report"). Please refer to the Arctic FS Technical Report for additional information. Outlook for 2021 On November 19, 2020, the Company announced the approval of the 2021 program and budget for Ambler Metals of approximately $27 million to advance the UKMP. The budget is fully funded by Ambler Metals. Activities planned at the Arctic Project include 7,600 meters of drilling which will have the dual purpose of extracting additional material for metallurgical work and for the conversion of mineral resources into the measured category. The metallurgical program that is associated with this drilling will support variability test work and pilot plant work which will commence later in 2021. Engineering work will continue at Arctic with the aim of submitting the application for the Notice of Intent for the 404 Dredge and Fill Permit, which is covered by the Clean Water Act, to the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The Company currently anticipates Ambler Metals will submit the permit applications during the second half of 2021. Following up from the 2019 work performed along the 70-mile (100 kilometer) Ambler volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") belt, Ambler Metals will continue exploration efforts along the belt to discover and define additional deposits that may provide additional feed to a future Arctic mill. Ambler Metals plans to conduct a 7,000-meter regional exploration drill campaign which is expected to commence in early summer and finish before the end of September. The drilling may be preceded by detailed geologic mapping, geochemical soil sampling and ground geophysics. The Company has approved a 2021 cash budget for corporate activities of approximately $5.3 million, which includes personnel and related costs of $2.0 million, professional fees of $1.1 million, investor relations and marketing costs of $0.6 million, office related costs of $0.5 million, insurance costs of $0.4 million and regulatory costs of $0.3 million. The Company's management team is focused on the oversight of our investment in Ambler Metals and will closely work with Ambler Metals as it starts its first field season as a new team and prepares to submit the permit applications for the development and operation of the Arctic Project during the second half of the year. The Company's technical staff will work closely with South32's technical team and Ambler Metals exploration staff to review opportunities on advancing its known deposits and look at potential new targets in the large land package that is held by Ambler Metals. Annual Financial Results The following selected annual information is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. in thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts Selected financial results Year ended November 30, 2020 $ Year ended November 30, 2019 $ Year ended November 30, 2018 $ General and administrative 1,650 1,838 1,532 Mineral properties and feasibility study 2,610 19,211 16,490 Professional fees 1,347 1,382 453 Salaries 1,411 1,314 1,467 Salaries technical services 898 - - Salaries stock-based compensation 3,564 3,845 1,441 Loss held for trading of investments - - 272 Gain on derecognition of assets contributed to the joint venture (175,770) - - Equity in investee 2,855 - - Comprehensive earnings (loss) for the year 161,767 (27,905) (21,849) Basic earnings (loss) per common share 1.14 (0.21) (0.18) Diluted earnings (loss) per common share 1.12 (0.21) (0.18) For the year ended November 30, 2020, we reported a net earnings of $161.8 million (or $1.14 basic earnings and $1.12 diluted earnings per common share) compared to a net loss in 2019 of $27.9 million (or $0.21 basic and diluted loss per common share) and a net loss of $21.8 million in 2018 (or $0.18 basic and diluted loss per common share). The 2020 movement to net earnings was primarily due to the $175.8 million gain realized on the derecognition of assets contributed to Ambler Metals, offset by our 50% share of Ambler Metal's net operating loss and feasibility study charges incurred for the Arctic Project subsequent to the formation of the joint venture. Mineral properties expense was eliminated after the contribution of mineral properties to the joint venture at the end of the first quarter of 2020. This resulted in a significant cost savings of $17.7 million in relation to the prior year comparative. Going forward, all project related costs will be captured through our 50% equity recognition of Ambler Metal's operating loss. Adding to the variances in 2020 were incremental decreases in general and administrative expenses, professional fees and stock-based compensation offset by an increase in salaries. The increase in salaries resulted from the addition of management during the current year for which there is no prior year comparative. Pursuant to a services agreement between the Company and Ambler Metals, $0.9 million of salaries and wages were incurred by the Company in support of Ambler Metal's back office while the joint venture company set up its permanent team. The 2019 movement in net loss was primarily due to the increased size and magnitude of the field programs undertaken at our mineral properties. Adding to this variance in 2019 were incremental increases in general and administrative expenses, professional fees and stock-based compensation offset by a slight decrease in salaries. Additionally, there were losses recognized on both the sale of investments as well as investments designated as held for trading in the prior year that did not exist in the fiscal 2019 year. We executed a $18.2 million program at the UKMP in 2019, with $9.2 million on the Bornite Project funded by South32 under the Option Agreement, $2 million on a new regional exploration program funded 50/50 by Trilogy Metals and South32 and $7 million on the Arctic Project funded entirely by Trilogy Metals. Liquidity and Capital Resources At November 30, 2020, we had $11.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $10.4 million. We expended $8.3 million on operating activities during the 2020 fiscal year compared with $23.5 million for operating activities for the same period in 2019, and expenditures of $22.1 million for operating activities for the same period in 2018. A majority of cash spent on operating activities during all periods was expended on mineral property expenses, general and administrative expenses, salaries and professional fees. Ambler Metals assumed responsibility for project funding upon formation on February 11, 2020. At November 30, 2020, Ambler Metals is well funded with $81.7 million cash and $58.5 million loan receivable from South32, all funding is 100% dedicated to advancing the UKMP. Qualified Persons Richard Gosse, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration for Trilogy Metals Inc., is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Gosse has reviewed the technical information in this news release and approves the disclosure contained herein. About Trilogy Metals Trilogy Metals Inc. is a metals exploration and development company which holds a 50 percent interest in Ambler Metals LLC which has a 100 percent interest in the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects in northwestern Alaska. On December 19, 2019 South32, which is a globally diversified mining and metals company, exercised its option to form a 50/50 joint venture with Trilogy.

Article: LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan today announced it is providing $950,000 to two nonprofit organizations that aim to improve health outcomes of the youth in Compton and Antelope Valley by developing innovative programs that support behavioral health and well-being. The efforts will support the California Surgeon General and Department of Health Care Services' Adverse Childhood Experience (ACEs) protocol "Screen, Treat, Heal," which focuses on creating resources that address childhood abuse, neglect and household challenges that impact health and well-being as youth and adults. Blue Shield Promise is providing $900,000 to ScaleLA Foundation to fund a two-year initiative to destigmatize challenges associated with behavioral health; help school officials, families and teens identify key indicators to better support youth mental health; and improve care coordination and service delivery for families affected by trauma. Blue Shield Promise is providing an additional $50,000 to the Center for Youth Wellness (CYW) to work with Blue Shield Promise clinics in Lancaster and Palmdale. CYW is part of a national effort to change pediatric medicine and transform the way society responds to kids with significant adverse childhood experiences and stress.The work is aimed at assisting the staff of the clinics with identifying best practices, increasing screenings and building a referral system for healing and treatment services in the community. "It is imperative that we find ways to better support youth mental health, particularly during these times when many are dealing with COVID-19, health and social disparities, and wildfires, among other issues," said Susan Fleischman, M.D., chief medical officer at Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan. "We want to ensure the availability of resources to support mental health and behavioral needs and are thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with these nonprofits. The work they do is directly aligned with our mission that everyonedeserves access to quality health care." The ScaleLA initiative begins this month with a design thinking challenge for students at Compton Unified School District's Dominguez High School. In December, a winning solution will be selected by a panel of judges and developed in 2021 with a goal of implementing the program within the Compton community to support the health of students and their families for years to come. "We're thrilled to be partnering with Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan for this initiative and inspire more youth to leverage entrepreneurship and become agents of change in their communities." said India Williams, executive director, ScaleLA Foundation. "We're looking forward to seeing the innovation developed by our teams of mentees and mentors, all designed to increase access to behavioral health and wellness resources to support our South LA community." "The prevalence of ACEs and toxic stress is a public health crisis. We are honored to work with Blue Shield and ScaleLA to ensure we are building on and extending the groundbreaking work Los Angeles is already doing," said Bre Gentile, Ph.D., Director of Product Design at Center for Youth Wellness. Blue Shield Promise recognizes the importance of working with community-based organizations to prevent diseases and make healthy living options more accessible especially in underserved communities. Promoting healthy living can result in better health for more people as well as improving health outcomes, especially among the most vulnerable populations. This announcement is the latest example of Blue Shield's Health Reimaginedinitiative that uses latest innovations to improve health of individuals and communities; and also supports the health plan's BlueSkyinitiative that promotes mental health for California's middle and high school students.

Article: NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --AEDIT, the first-of-its-kind, technology-driven platform that simplifies and safeguards the search for aesthetic solutions and qualified providers, today announced the results of its inaugural consumer trends survey. 2020 brought unprecedented changes to the entire world. Now, AEDIT explores how this year changed the aesthetic landscape and consumer behavior as priorities shifted. Findings indicate that Millennials and Gen Z now account for the largest age group interested in aesthetic procedures. The pandemic has not slowed down this demographic's interest in pursuing self-confidence and self-expression through beauty. The rise of video conferencing for work and widespread communication, as well as rapid advances in beauty technology, have helped to strengthen demand for aesthetic treatments and procedures over the past year. AEDIT polled 1,000 men and women ages 18 and over to unearth 2020's biggest beauty trends Tweet this AEDIT polled 1,000 men and women ages 18 and over to unearth 2020's biggest beauty trends and how the unprecedented year altered our aesthetic proclivities possibly forever. Video Conferencing Never before have men and women been so bombarded with seeing themselves on video. With the advent of daily ZOOM meetings, Google Hangouts, and FaceTimes, people who are not used to viewing themselves on screen were suddenly thrust into their very own spotlight. This led to nitpicking their appearances. AEDIT's survey found that those interested in non-surgical and surgical treatments participate in video conferencing meetings significantly more often than those who do not. In fact, 39 percent of respondents who use video conferencing weekly reported interest in non-surgical aesthetic treatments while 37 percent reported interest in surgical treatments. A full 29 percent of Millennials agree that using video conferencing makes them more interested in getting aesthetic treatments. The biggest areas of concern for those who engage in regular video conferences are their teeth (39 percent), weight (33 percent), stomach/midsection (28 percent), under eye bags/pouches (23 percent), and hair thinning/loss (16 percent).Despite spending significantly more time at home in 2020, demand for treatments remained high with 23 percent of respondents stating that they are more interested in aesthetic treatments now that they can recover at home during the pandemic.The Dawn Of A Digital Age Of Aesthetics AEDIT founder, CEO and world renowned facial plastic surgeon William A. Kennedy III, MD, shares, "Technology is revolutionizing the beauty industry. It places more emphasis on personalized experiences, giving consumers the opportunity to be in more control of their beauty decisions, whether that be virtually trying on lipstick before purchasing or, in our case,trying on a cosmetic procedure before booking a consultation."Much like our social and work lives, many of those consultations are moving virtual. AEDIT's survey reveals that the pandemic has decreased interest in going into doctors' offices and has increased interest in telemedicine by over 20 percent.Moreover, 44 percent of survey respondents wish there was a way to see exactly how surgery would affect their face before taking the leap. This desire is even greater for younger women, with 50 percent of Millennials and Gen Z and 51 percent of women showing keen intrigue in the ability to predict the outcome of aesthetic procedures.As a way to address this desire, AEDIT created a platform that offers medically approved, easy-to-understand information and a 3D aesthetic simulator The AEDITOR that allows users to virtually "try on" cosmetic procedures and visualize realistic results right from the palm of their hand. The iOS app is the most accurate facial morphing technology available outside professional medical practices. While AEDITOR was not specifically asked about in the survey, 55. percent of adults and (62 percent of women and 67 percent of Millennials and Gen Z) indicated that they would be interested in an app or website that would allow them to see how surgery or aesthetic procedures affect their face/looks in a medically accurate way. Owning It Is In. So Is Good Skin.Millennials have long been influencing beauty trends as the first generation who came of age during the digital revolution. However, Baby Boomers tend to eclipse them when it comes to seeking out a tweak, lift, or poke in the search to remain naturally ageless.A shift is happening. The AEDIT survey showed that Millennials and Gen Z have significantly more interest in non-surgical and surgical treatments than men and women age 35 and up and are more likely to already have seen a doctor or had a surgical treatment than their Gen X and Boomer peers. Millennials, and now Gen Z, largely embrace aesthetic edits with open arms and zero apologies, with 40 percent stating that they do not feel ashamed or embarrassed getting aesthetic treatments. The survey supports this, showing that over 40 percent of respondents still want to feel confident in their looks during the pandemic. This population is specifically interested in aesthetic treatments to look naturally more attractive. It follows that the survey also uncovered a jump in participants using facial skincare products during the pandemic, despite a decrease in using cosmetics in 2020."At AEDIT, we believe true beauty is unearthed by those who choose to be uniquely themselves rather than conform to a standard. We strive to inspire a movement that will empower everyone to be bold and challenge the preconceived notions of beauty by living by their own aesthetic," Dr. Kennedy notes.Looking AheadAEDITBeauty Board Member and Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon,Andrew Frankel, MD, predicts, "2021 will begin as 2020 has been for the past three months.

Article: SAN RAFAEL, Calif., April 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) today announced that based on recent meetings with health authorities in the US and Europe, the Company plans to submit marketing applications to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the third quarter of 2020 for vosoritide.Vosoritide is an investigational, once daily injection analog of C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) for achondroplasia, the most common form of disproportionate short stature in humans. The marketing applications are based on the outcomes from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of vosoritide, announced in Dec 2019, and further supported by the long-term safety and efficacy from the Phase 2 study, ongoing extension studies, and extensive natural history data. If approved, vosoritide would be the first medicine for the treatment of Achondroplasia in the US and Europe. "We have worked with the regulatory authorities throughout the design and development of our clinical program and look forward to the ongoing interactions in the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of vosoritide in children with achondroplasia," said Hank Fuchs, M.D., President Worldwide Research and Development at BioMarin."We believe that we have a strong data package that combines the gold standard of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study with the long-term results in the Phase 2 open label study and extensive contemporaneous natural history data to evaluate durability.We are grateful to the children and families who have participated in these studies and are contributing to the greater body of scientific data on a potential treatment for achondroplasia." "Vosoritide is the first potential pharmacological treatment for the underlying cause of achondroplasia. It could be a medical breakthrough in providing physicians with a new tool to treat individuals with achondroplasia," said John A. Phillips, III, M.D., Vanderbilt University Medical Center (David T Karzon Professor of Pediatrics) and investigator for the vosoritide clinical program. "To have such a possible treatment for achondroplasia on the horizon, where none existed before is significant progress." "We are making great strides in understanding the biology of skeletal dysplasia and getting closer to a potential treatment," said Klaus Mohnike, Professor of Paediatrics at Magdeburg University Hospital in Germany and investigator for the vosoritide clinical program. "I am looking forward to therapeutic interventions that go beyond treating symptoms and have the potential to make a lasting difference for those affected children." Vosoritide has received orphan drug designation from the FDA and EMA for the treatment of achondroplasia.The Orphan Drug Designation program is intended to advance the evaluation and development of products that demonstrate promise for the diagnosis and/or treatment of rare diseases or conditions. Description of Phase 3 Study The global Phase 3 study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of vosoritide in 121 children with achondroplasia aged 5 to 14 for 52 weeks. (The enrollment age criteria were 5 to 18 per the study protocol).Vosoritide is being tested in children whose growth plates are still open. This is approximately 25% of people with achondroplasia. Children in this study have completed a minimum six-month baseline study to determine their baseline growth velocity prior to entering the Phase 3 study.The primary endpoint of the study was the change in growth velocity from baseline over one year in children treated with vosoritide compared to placebo. A wide range of secondary and exploratory endpoints included anthropometric measures such as height Z-score, body and limb proportionality and joint geometry; biochemical, biomarker and radiological assessments of bone growth and health; and evaluations of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), developmental status, and functional independence.These additional endpoints address the overall impact vosoritide has on achondroplasia and continue to be evaluated in an ongoing open-label extension study where all subjects receive active treatment. Description of Phase 2 Dose Finding Study The primary objectives of the open-label, sequential cohort, dose-finding study were to evaluate the safety and tolerability of daily subcutaneous vosoritide and to determine the dose to carry forward to Phase 3. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the effects of vosoritide on change from pre-treatment baseline in annualized growth velocity (cm/year), height Z-scores, and body segment proportionality, the vosoritide pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and biomarkers of vosoritide activity, and endochondral ossification. All children who completed the 24-month dose finding study were then eligible to continue long term follow up in the ongoing extension study which provides long term evidence of efficacy, durability of effect and safety. About Achondroplasia Achondroplasia, the most common form of disproportionate short stature in humans, is characterized by slowing of endochondral ossification, which results in disproportionate short stature and disordered architecture in the long bones, spine, face and base of the skull.This condition is caused by a mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR3), a negative regulator of bone growth. Beyond disproportionate short stature, people with achondroplasia can experience serious health complications, including foramen magnum compression, sleep apnea, bowed legs, mid-face hypoplasia, permanent sway of the lower back, spinal stenosis and recurrent ear infections. Some of these complications can result in the need for invasive surgeries such as spinal cord decompression and straightening of bowed legs. In addition, studies show increased mortality at every age. More than 80% of children with achondroplasia have parents of average stature and have the condition as the result of a spontaneous gene mutation.The worldwide incidence rate of achondroplasia is about one in 25,000 live births.Vosoritide is being tested in children whose growth plates are still "open," typically those under 18 years of age.This is approximately 25% of people with achondroplasia.In the U.S., Europe, Latin America,the Middle East, and most of Asia Pacific, there are currently no licensed medicines for achondroplasia.

Article: PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AdvanSix (NYSE: ASIX) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2020. The Company generated improved results across a number of measures in the quarter and for the full year including sales volume, income and cash flow, while mitigating the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. Our strong fourth quarter and full year results demonstrate our team's resilience, perseverance and strength of execution. For the full year, we expanded margins, generated higher earnings and cash flow, and reduced leverage levels as we navigated the challenging macro environment," said Erin Kane, president and CEO of AdvanSix. "Sales volume grew compared to the prior year reflecting the strength of our business model, low-cost position and diversity of our product portfolio. In 2020, we proactively drove approximately $26 million of productivity and cost savings to mitigate the impact of COVID on our business while continuing to invest for future growth in differentiated products and high-return capital projects." Fourth Quarter 2020 Results Summary fourth quarter 2020 financial results for the Company are included below: ($ in Thousands, Except Earnings Per Share) 4Q 2020 4Q 2019 Sales $340,272 $326,650 Net Income (Loss) 26,764 (2,094) Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share $0.94 ($0.08) EBITDA (1) 48,499 12,749 EBITDA Margin % (1) 14.3% 3.9% Cash Flow from Operations 47,761 19,849 Free Cash Flow (1)(2) 32,406 (24,087) (1) See Non-GAAP Measures included in this press release for non-GAAP reconciliations (2) Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures Sales of $340.3 million in the quarter increased approximately 4.2% versus the prior year. Sales volume in the quarter increased approximately 7.9% versus the prior year primarily due to higher production output and improved end market demand overall. Raw material pass-through pricing was unfavorable by approximately 4.4% following a net cost decrease in benzene and propylene (inputs to cumene which is a key feedstock to our products). Market-based pricing was favorable by approximately 0.7% compared to the prior year reflecting continued strength in chemical intermediates, particularly acetone, partially offset by our nylon and caprolactam product lines. Sales by product line represented the following approximate percentage of our total sales: 4Q 2020 4Q 2019 FY 2020 FY 2019 Nylon 23% 25% 24% 27% Caprolactam 19% 21% 19% 22% Chemical Intermediates 35% 31% 32% 28% Ammonium Sulfate 23% 23% 25% 23% EBITDA of $48.5 million in the quarter increased $35.8 million versus the prior year primarily due to the net favorable year-over-year impact of planned plant turnarounds (approximately $23 million), higher market-based pricing, productivity and volume, and the net favorable impact of logistics productivity and our realigned cumene supply chain following the 2019 shutdown of cumene supplier Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES). Earnings per share of $0.94 increased $1.02 versus the prior year driven by the factors discussed above as well as a lower effective tax rate in the quarter versus the prior year primarily driven by an approximately $3.8 million energy tax credit associated with our natural gas boilers investment. Cash flow from operations of $47.8 million in the quarter increased $27.9 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher net income. Capital expenditures of $15.4 million in the quarter decreased $28.6 million versus the prior year following the completion of several large 2019 high-return growth and cost savings investments. The expected approximately $12 million cash tax refund related to the CARES Act remains outstanding and is now anticipated to be received in the first half of 2021. Full Year 2020 Results Summary full year 2020 financial results for the Company are included below: ($ in Thousands, Except Earnings Per Share) FY 2020 FY 2019 Sales $1,157,917 $1,297,393 Net Income 46,077 41,347 Diluted Earnings Per Share $1.64 $1.43 EBITDA (1) 123,657 115,628 EBITDA Margin % (1) 10.7% 8.9% Cash Flow from Operations 111,847 120,385 Free Cash Flow (1)(2) 28,929 (29,937) (1) See Non-GAAP Measures included in this press release for non-GAAP reconciliations (2) Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures Outlook "We are targeting a record year of production output in 2021 supporting higher earnings and robust cash flow while making continued progress on our sustainability initiatives.

AdvanSix Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results. Strong volume growth, margin improvement and cash flow generation. 4Q20 Sales of $340 million, up 4% versus prior year. 4Q20 EPS of $0.94, up $1.02 versus the prior year. 4Q20 Cash Flow from Operations of $48 million, up $28 million versus prior year.
PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AdvanSix (NYSE: ASIX) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2020. The Company generated improved results across a number of measures in the quarter and for the full year including sales volume, income and cash flow, while mitigating the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. Our strong fourth quarter and full year results demonstrate our team's resilience, perseverance and strength of execution. For the full year, we expanded margins, generated higher earnings and cash flow, and reduced leverage levels as we navigated the challenging macro environment," said Erin Kane, president and CEO of AdvanSix. "Sales volume grew compared to the prior year reflecting the strength of our business model, low-cost position and diversity of our product portfolio. In 2020, we proactively drove approximately $26 million of productivity and cost savings to mitigate the impact of COVID on our business while continuing to invest for future growth in differentiated products and high-return capital projects." Fourth Quarter 2020 Results Summary fourth quarter 2020 financial results for the Company are included below: ($ in Thousands, Except Earnings Per Share) 4Q 2020 4Q 2019 Sales $340,272 $326,650 Net Income (Loss) 26,764 (2,094) Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share $0.94 ($0.08) EBITDA (1) 48,499 12,749 EBITDA Margin % (1) 14.3% 3.9% Cash Flow from Operations 47,761 19,849 Free Cash Flow (1)(2) 32,406 (24,087) (1) See Non-GAAP Measures included in this press release for non-GAAP reconciliations (2) Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures Sales of $340.3 million in the quarter increased approximately 4.2% versus the prior year. Sales volume in the quarter increased approximately 7.9% versus the prior year primarily due to higher production output and improved end market demand overall. Raw material pass-through pricing was unfavorable by approximately 4.4% following a net cost decrease in benzene and propylene (inputs to cumene which is a key feedstock to our products). Market-based pricing was favorable by approximately 0.7% compared to the prior year reflecting continued strength in chemical intermediates, particularly acetone, partially offset by our nylon and caprolactam product lines. Sales by product line represented the following approximate percentage of our total sales: 4Q 2020 4Q 2019 FY 2020 FY 2019 Nylon 23% 25% 24% 27% Caprolactam 19% 21% 19% 22% Chemical Intermediates 35% 31% 32% 28% Ammonium Sulfate 23% 23% 25% 23% EBITDA of $48.5 million in the quarter increased $35.8 million versus the prior year primarily due to the net favorable year-over-year impact of planned plant turnarounds (approximately $23 million), higher market-based pricing, productivity and volume, and the net favorable impact of logistics productivity and our realigned cumene supply chain following the 2019 shutdown of cumene supplier Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES). Earnings per share of $0.94 increased $1.02 versus the prior year driven by the factors discussed above as well as a lower effective tax rate in the quarter versus the prior year primarily driven by an approximately $3.8 million energy tax credit associated with our natural gas boilers investment. Cash flow from operations of $47.8 million in the quarter increased $27.9 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher net income. Capital expenditures of $15.4 million in the quarter decreased $28.6 million versus the prior year following the completion of several large 2019 high-return growth and cost savings investments. The expected approximately $12 million cash tax refund related to the CARES Act remains outstanding and is now anticipated to be received in the first half of 2021.

Article: PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AdvanSix (NYSE: ASIX) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2020. The Company generated improved results across a number of measures in the quarter and for the full year including sales volume, income and cash flow, while mitigating the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. Our strong fourth quarter and full year results demonstrate our team's resilience, perseverance and strength of execution. For the full year, we expanded margins, generated higher earnings and cash flow, and reduced leverage levels as we navigated the challenging macro environment," said Erin Kane, president and CEO of AdvanSix. "Sales volume grew compared to the prior year reflecting the strength of our business model, low-cost position and diversity of our product portfolio. In 2020, we proactively drove approximately $26 million of productivity and cost savings to mitigate the impact of COVID on our business while continuing to invest for future growth in differentiated products and high-return capital projects." Fourth Quarter 2020 Results Summary fourth quarter 2020 financial results for the Company are included below: ($ in Thousands, Except Earnings Per Share) 4Q 2020 4Q 2019 Sales $340,272 $326,650 Net Income (Loss) 26,764 (2,094) Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share $0.94 ($0.08) EBITDA (1) 48,499 12,749 EBITDA Margin % (1) 14.3% 3.9% Cash Flow from Operations 47,761 19,849 Free Cash Flow (1)(2) 32,406 (24,087) (1) See Non-GAAP Measures included in this press release for non-GAAP reconciliations (2) Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures Sales of $340.3 million in the quarter increased approximately 4.2% versus the prior year. Sales volume in the quarter increased approximately 7.9% versus the prior year primarily due to higher production output and improved end market demand overall. Raw material pass-through pricing was unfavorable by approximately 4.4% following a net cost decrease in benzene and propylene (inputs to cumene which is a key feedstock to our products). Market-based pricing was favorable by approximately 0.7% compared to the prior year reflecting continued strength in chemical intermediates, particularly acetone, partially offset by our nylon and caprolactam product lines. Sales by product line represented the following approximate percentage of our total sales: 4Q 2020 4Q 2019 FY 2020 FY 2019 Nylon 23% 25% 24% 27% Caprolactam 19% 21% 19% 22% Chemical Intermediates 35% 31% 32% 28% Ammonium Sulfate 23% 23% 25% 23% EBITDA of $48.5 million in the quarter increased $35.8 million versus the prior year primarily due to the net favorable year-over-year impact of planned plant turnarounds (approximately $23 million), higher market-based pricing, productivity and volume, and the net favorable impact of logistics productivity and our realigned cumene supply chain following the 2019 shutdown of cumene supplier Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES). Earnings per share of $0.94 increased $1.02 versus the prior year driven by the factors discussed above as well as a lower effective tax rate in the quarter versus the prior year primarily driven by an approximately $3.8 million energy tax credit associated with our natural gas boilers investment. Cash flow from operations of $47.8 million in the quarter increased $27.9 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher net income. Capital expenditures of $15.4 million in the quarter decreased $28.6 million versus the prior year following the completion of several large 2019 high-return growth and cost savings investments. The expected approximately $12 million cash tax refund related to the CARES Act remains outstanding and is now anticipated to be received in the first half of 2021.

Article: HOUSTON, June 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CITGO Petroleum Corporation ("CITGO") today reported its first quarter 2020 performance results, including a net loss of $159 million and an adjusted EBITDA1 of $38 million excluding the effect of special items. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic combined with crude oil demand destruction were drivers behind the Company's first quarter results and impacted the industry as a whole. The first quarter net loss was particularly affected by the lower of cost or market ("LCM") inventory valuation adjustment, a result of rapidly falling crude oil prices affecting refiners across the industry. "The LCM adjustment resulted in a non-cash loss that had no impact on CITGO's overall liquidity," said CITGO President and CEO Carlos Jord. "Our management team will continue monitoring the economic environment closely, using the flexibility of our refineries and the diversification of the markets where we operate to adjust our product slate and refinery runs while continuing to evaluate additional cost reductions." First quarter operational and performance highlights: Turnaround activity Maintained existing turnaround plans Refinery throughput Total refinery throughput in the first quarter was 764,000 bpd, including 114,000 bpd of intermediate feedstocks, resulting in an overall crude utilization of 91%. Exports First quarter refined products exports averaged 181,000 bpd. Operational excellence CITGO refineries continue to be recognized for outstanding performance. The Lemont refinery recently received the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) Elite Gold Safety Award in recognition of top industry safety performance and excellence in program innovation and leadership. The CITGO Corpus Christi refinery earned the 2019 Energy Star designation from the U.S. EPA. Special items Several one-time or special items impacted our net loss in the first quarter 2020. The net loss was primarily driven by LCM adjustment of approximately $332 million. This impact was partially offset by an approximately $172 million insurance recovery gain related to the previously incurred costs related to the Athos matter and an approximately $48 million tax benefit as a result of certain Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") provisions. Second Quarter Strategic Update:CITGO is actively responding to the extremely challenging economic conditions with the following strategic initiatives: Refinancing - On June 9, 2020, CITGO successfully refinanced its 2021 Term Loan B with proceeds of a private offering of 7.00% senior secured notes due 2025. The notes offering was oversubscribed, allowing CITGO to upsize the offering to $1.125 billion. Continued turnarounds - CITGO continued with its existing turnaround plans at the Lake Charles and Lemont refineries after developing and implementing strict COVID-19 safety protocols, which allows the company to take advantage of the low demand environment. Liquidity management - CITGO is targeting a 10% reduction of its 2020 capital expenditures and is taking steps to reduce 2020 planned annual operating expenses by approximately 10%-15%. Industry Overview:In a May meeting with the CITGO entities' ultimate shareholder, the PDVSA adhoc board, CITGO Board Chairwoman Luisa Palacios detailed the broader economic and market forces driving the first quarter environment. COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significant economic disruption, as the U.S. economy contracted nearly 5%, U.S. equity markets fell sharply, crude oil prices fell by 65% from the middle of March to end of May, and significant restrictions on travel and work severely impacted demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. April marked the month with the largest refined products demand destruction of 38.5% in comparison to the same month in the previous year. The economic disruption led to a collapse of margins for petroleum products with the gasoline crack turning negative, a development not seen since the 2008 credit crisis. This led to a significant cut in refining capacity utilization globally and in the United States since March. U.S. refinery utilization fell to a low of 68% and since has recovered to 72%. With demand disappearing, inventories for refined products and crude have risen dramatically, and while the industry has avoided reaching tank tops, inventories are now at historically high levels and will need to work themselves through in order for a healthy margin environment to return. Analysts expect the refining sector will see the worst of the crisis in the second quarter of 2020. However, as all states have recently lifted stay-at-home orders, analysts expect a gradual recovery in demand in the second half of 2020. In such an environment, gasoline demand is expected to lead the recovery, while the health of distillate demand will be connected to the recovery of GDP growth, and jet demand is expected to lag. Current positive expectations about the second half of 2020 rest on assumptions that a demand recovery will lift refinery runs and refinery margins. However, these expectations depend on continued avoidance of a significant resurgence of COVID-19 as social distancing requirements ease. Palacios pointed to the concrete, proactive steps taken by CITGO to ensure the company is well-positioned to weather current economic conditions and seize the initiative when markets improve. "We believe CITGO has proactively prepared itself for a stress scenario by reducing operating and capital costs, tapping the markets to obtain additional liquidity, and proceeding with planned maintenance activities in the second quarter while the opportunity cost and demand levels are low," said Palacios.

Liquidity management - CITGO is targeting a 10% reduction of its 2020 capital expenditures and is taking steps to reduce 2020 planned annual operating expenses by approximately 10%-15%. Industry Overview:In a May meeting with the CITGO entities' ultimate shareholder, the PDVSA adhoc board, CITGO Board Chairwoman Luisa Palacios detailed the broader economic and market forces driving the first quarter environment. COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significant economic disruption, as the U.S. economy contracted nearly 5%, U.S. equity markets fell sharply, crude oil prices fell by 65% from the middle of March to end of May, and significant restrictions on travel and work severely impacted demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. April marked the month with the largest refined products demand destruction of 38.5% in comparison to the same month in the previous year. The economic disruption led to a collapse of margins for petroleum products with the gasoline crack turning negative, a development not seen since the 2008 credit crisis. This led to a significant cut in refining capacity utilization globally and in the United States since March. U.S. refinery utilization fell to a low of 68% and since has recovered to 72%. With demand disappearing, inventories for refined products and crude have risen dramatically, and while the industry has avoided reaching tank tops, inventories are now at historically high levels and will need to work themselves through in order for a healthy margin environment to return. Analysts expect the refining sector will see the worst of the crisis in the second quarter of 2020. However, as all states have recently lifted stay-at-home orders, analysts expect a gradual recovery in demand in the second half of 2020. In such an environment, gasoline demand is expected to lead the recovery, while the health of distillate demand will be connected to the recovery of GDP growth, and jet demand is expected to lag. Current positive expectations about the second half of 2020 rest on assumptions that a demand recovery will lift refinery runs and refinery margins. However, these expectations depend on continued avoidance of a significant resurgence of COVID-19 as social distancing requirements ease. Palacios pointed to the concrete, proactive steps taken by CITGO to ensure the company is well-positioned to weather current economic conditions and seize the initiative when markets improve. "We believe CITGO has proactively prepared itself for a stress scenario by reducing operating and capital costs, tapping the markets to obtain additional liquidity, and proceeding with planned maintenance activities in the second quarter while the opportunity cost and demand levels are low," said Palacios.
