, /PRNewswire/ -- ONE Gas, Inc. (NYSE: OGS) today announced its third quarter financial results, narrowed its 2025 financial guidance and declared its quarterly dividend.
"Our third-quarter performance reflects disciplined execution of our strategy and continued operational efficiency," said Robert S. McAnnally, president and chief executive officer. "The narrowed financial outlook aligns with year-to-date results and reinforces our confidence in delivering full-year guidance. As we approach year-end, we remain focused on sustainable growth, prudent capital deployment and delivering long-term value for our shareholders."
THIRD QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS & HIGHLIGHTS
Third quarter 2025 net income was $26.5 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with $19.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2024;
Year-to-date 2025 net income was $177.9 million, or $2.94 per diluted share, compared with $145.8 million, or $2.56 per diluted share, in the same period last year;
The Company narrowed its 2025 diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $4.34 to $4.40, from a previous range of $4.32 to $4.42; and
The board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.67 per share ($2.68 annualized), payable on December 1, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2025.
THIRD QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
ONE Gas reported operating income of $65.4 million in the third quarter, compared with $59.5 million in the third quarter 2024, which primarily reflects:
an increase of $19.2 million from new rates; and
an increase of $1.4 million in residential sales due primarily to net customer growth in Oklahoma and Texas.
The increases were partially offset by:
an increase of $4.8 million in depreciation and amortization expense primarily from additional capital investment;
an increase of $4.1 million due to ad valorem taxes;
an increase of $3.8 million in employee-related costs; and
an increase of $1.0 million due to outside services.
Excluding interest related to KGSS-I securitized bonds, interest expense, net decreased $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to lower rates on commercial paper borrowings.
Income tax expense reflects credits for amortization of the regulatory liability associated with excess deferred income taxes (EDIT) of $1.7 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Capital expenditures and asset removal costs were $207.6 million for the third quarter 2025 compared with $197.7 million in the same period last year, primarily representing expenditures for system integrity and extension of service to new areas.
YEAR-TO-DATE 2025 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $317.7 million, compared with $274.6 million in 2024, which primarily reflects:
an increase of $92.2 million from new rates; and
an increase of $5.3 million in residential sales due primarily to net customer growth in Oklahoma and Texas.
These increases were partially offset by:
an increase of $16.8 million in depreciation and amortization expense primarily from additional capital investment;
an increase of $13.8 million due to ad valorem taxes;
an increase of $12.8 million in employee-related costs;
an increase of $2.5 million in insurance expense;
an increase of $2.1 million in bad debt expense;
an increase of $1.3 million in information technology expense; and
a carrying charge of $2.9 million refunded to Oklahoma customers from the settlement of a disputed gas purchase invoice.
Excluding interest related to KGSS-I securitized bonds, interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was in line with the same period last year.
Income tax expense includes a credit for amortization of the regulatory liability associated with EDIT of $11.9 million and $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Capital expenditures and asset removal costs were $575.4 million for the nine-month 2025 period compared with $571.7 million in the same period last year, primarily representing expenditures for system integrity and extension of service to new areas.
REGULATORY ACTIVITIES UPDATE
In June 2025, Texas Gas Service filed a rate case for all customers in the Central-Gulf, West-North and Rio Grande Valley service areas, requesting a $41.1 million revenue increase and proposing to consolidate all service areas into a single division. Texas Gas Service filed this rate case directly with the cities in each service area, which includes the cities of Austin and El Paso, and the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) for the unincorporated areas. This filing is based on a 10.4 percent return on equity and a 59.9 percent common equity ratio. New rates are expected to take effect in the first quarter of 2026.
In April 2025, Texas Gas Service made a Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program filing for all customers in the Rio Grande Valley service area, requesting a $3.2 million increase to be effective in September 2025. In August 2025, the RRC approved an increase of $2.9 million, and new rates became effective in September 2025.
In April 2025, Kansas Gas Service submitted an application to the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) requesting an increase of approximately $7.2 million related to its Gas System Reliability Surcharge. In July 2025, the KCC approved a $7.2 million increase effective August 2025.
In February 2025, Oklahoma Natural Gas filed its annual Performance-Based Rate Change application for the test year ended December 2024. The filing included a requested $41.5 million base rate revenue increase, a $2.4 million energy efficiency incentive, and $13.2 million of estimated EDIT to be credited to customers in 2026. A settlement agreement was reached among the parties, which included a $41.1 million base rate revenue increase, a $2.4 million energy efficiency incentive, and $17.9 million of estimated EDIT to be credited to customers beginning in February 2026. Interim rates, subject to refund, were implemented in June 2025. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission issued a final order approving the settlement in July 2025.
2025 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE NARROWED
The Company narrowed its 2025 financial guidance, with net income expected to be in the range of $262 million to $266 million, compared with its previously announced range of $261 million to $267 million. Earnings per diluted share are expected to be approximately $4.34 to $4.40, compared with the previously announced range of $4.32 to $4.42. There was no change to the respective midpoints of the 2025 net income and earnings per share guidance, both of which remain 2.5% above the original guidance forecasts for the year.
Capital expenditures, including asset removal costs, are still expected to be approximately $750 million in 2025.

One should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are applicable only as of the date of this news release. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Those factors may affect our operations, costs, liquidity, markets, products, services and prices. In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with the forward-looking statements, factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statement include, among others, the following:
our ability to recover costs, income taxes and amounts equivalent to the cost of property, plant and equipment, regulatory assets and our allowed rate of return in our regulated rates or other recovery mechanisms;
cyber-attacks, which, according to experts, continue to increase in volume and sophistication, or breaches of technology systems that could disrupt our operations or result in the loss or exposure of confidential or sensitive customer, employee, vendor, counterparty, or Company information; further, increased remote working arrangements have required enhancements and modifications to our information technology infrastructure (e.g. Internet, Virtual Private Network, remote collaboration systems, etc.), and any failures of the technologies, including third-party service providers, that facilitate working remotely could limit our ability to conduct ordinary operations or expose us to increased risk or effect of an attack;
our ability to manage our operations and maintenance costs;
changes in regulation of natural gas distribution services, particularly those in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas;
the economic climate and, particularly, its effect on the natural gas requirements of our residential and commercial customers;
the length and severity of a pandemic or other health crisis which could significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period;
competition from alternative forms of energy, including, but not limited to, electricity, solar power, wind power, geothermal energy and biofuels;
adverse weather conditions and variations in weather, including seasonal effects on demand and/or supply, the occurrence of severe storms in the territories in which we operate, and climate change, and the related effects on supply, demand, and costs;
indebtedness could make us more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to borrow additional funds and/or place us at competitive disadvantage compared with competitors;
our ability to secure reliable, competitively priced and flexible natural gas transportation and supply, including decisions by natural gas producers to reduce production or shut-in producing natural gas wells and expiration of existing supply and transportation and storage arrangements that are not replaced with contracts with similar terms and pricing;
our ability to complete necessary or desirable expansion or infrastructure development projects, which may delay or prevent us from serving our customers or expanding our business;
operational and mechanical hazards or interruptions;
adverse labor relations;
the effectiveness of our strategies to reduce earnings lag, revenue protection strategies and risk mitigation strategies, which may be affected by risks beyond our control such as commodity price volatility, counterparty performance or creditworthiness and interest rate risk;
the capital-intensive nature of our business, and the availability of and access to, in general, funds to meet our debt obligations prior to or when they become due and to fund our operations and capital expenditures, either through (i) cash on hand, (ii) operating cash flow, or (iii) access to the capital markets and other sources of liquidity;
our ability to obtain capital on commercially reasonable terms, or on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
limitations on our operating flexibility, earnings and cash flows due to restrictions in our financing arrangements;
cross-default provisions in our borrowing arrangements, which may lead to our inability to satisfy all of our outstanding obligations in the event of a default on our part;
changes in the financial markets during the periods covered by the forward-looking statements, particularly those affecting the availability of capital and our ability to refinance existing debt and fund investments and acquisitions to execute our business strategy;
actions of rating agencies, including the ratings of debt, general corporate ratings and changes in the rating agencies' ratings criteria;
changes in inflation and interest rates;
our ability to recover the costs of natural gas purchased for our customers and any related financing required to support our purchase of natural gas supply;
impact of potential impairment charges;
volatility and changes in markets for natural gas and our ability to secure additional and sufficient liquidity on reasonable commercial terms to cover costs associated with such volatility;
possible loss of local distribution company franchises or other adverse effects caused by the actions of municipalities;
payment and performance by counterparties and customers as contracted and when due, including our counterparties maintaining ordinary course terms of supply and payments;
changes in existing or the addition of new environmental, safety, tax, cybersecurity and other laws or regulations to which we and our subsidiaries are subject, including those that may require significant expenditures, significant increases in operating costs or, in the case of noncompliance, substantial fines or penalties;
the effectiveness of our risk-management policies and procedures, and employees violating our risk-management policies;
the uncertainty of estimates, including accruals and costs of environmental remediation;
advances in technology, including technologies that increase efficiency or that improve electricity's competitive position relative to natural gas;
population growth rates and changes in the demographic patterns of the markets we serve in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, and economic conditions in these areas;
acts of nature and naturally occurring disasters;
political unrest and the potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism and war;
the sufficiency of insurance coverage to cover losses;
the effects of our strategies to reduce tax payments;
changes in accounting standards;
changes in corporate governance standards;
existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls;
our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and the ONE Gas Credit Agreement, a violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner, could trigger a default of our obligations;
our ability to attract and retain talented employees, management and directors, and shortage of skilled-labor;
unexpected increases in the costs of providing health care benefits, along with pension and postemployment health care benefits, as well as declines in the discount rates on, declines in the market value of the debt and equity securities of, and increases in funding requirements for, our defined benefit plans; and
our ability to successfully complete merger, acquisition or divestiture plans, regulatory or other limitations imposed as a result of a merger, acquisition or divestiture, and the success of the business following a merger, acquisition or divestiture.
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other factors could also have material adverse effects on our future results. These and other risks are described in greater detail in Part 1, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these factors. Other than as required under securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or change in circumstances, expectations or otherwise.

KGSS-I SECURITIZATION
In November 2022, Kansas Gas Service Securitization I, L.L.C. (KGSS-I) issued $336 million of securitized utility tariff bonds. KGSS-I used the proceeds from the issuance to purchase the Securitized Utility Tariff Property from Kansas Gas Service, pay for debt issuance costs, and reimburse Kansas Gas Service for upfront securitization costs paid on behalf of KGSS-I.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025, include $11.2 million associated with KGSS-I, which is offset by $7.6 million in operating and amortization expense and $3.6 million in interest expense, net. Compared to the same three month period last year, revenues increased $0.7 million, which was offset by a $1.1 million increase in operating and amortization expense and a $0.4 million decrease in interest expense, net.
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, include $36.1 million associated with KGSS-I, which is offset by $24.8 million in operating and amortization expense and $11.1 in interest expense, net. Compared to the same nine month period last year, revenues increased $2.3 million, which was offset by a $3.4 million increase in amortization and operating expense and a $1.1 million decrease in interest expense, net.

Sherwin-Williams Board of Directors Elects Benjamin E. Meisenzahl as CFO Effective January 1, 2026
Selection is the result of a disciplined succession process to ensure a seamless transition focused on continued profitable growth, disciplined capital allocation and financial excellence
, /PRNewswire/ -- The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE: SHW) announced today that its Board of Directors has elected Benjamin E. Meisenzahl to serve as the Company's next Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective January 1, 2026. Mr. Meisenzahl, 44, has served as Senior Vice President – Finance for the last two and a half years and brings 22 years of overall Sherwin-Williams experience to his new role. He will assume the CFO duties currently held by Allen J. Mistysyn, 57, who will assume a short-term transition role before retiring after 35 years of dedicated service to the Company.
"Ben is a dedicated, highly capable and globally experienced Sherwin-Williams executive who is extremely well-prepared to be the next CFO of Sherwin-Williams," said Sherwin-Williams Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, Heidi G. Petz. "He is well-deserving of this promotion and brings a deep understanding of our people, culture, businesses, customers and investors to his new role. In his current position as Senior Vice President – Finance, Ben has led several crucial corporate functions while driving accountability and execution of our enterprise priorities, and of equal importance, serving as an outstanding business partner to me and our entire global leadership team. Ben and I are highly aligned on executing our strategy and outperforming the market, which we expect will continue to create sustained value for our customers, shareholders and employees for years to come."
"I also want to congratulate Al on his outstanding 35-year career at Sherwin-Williams as he leaves us with an incredibly strong foundation that is well-positioned for the future," continued Ms. Petz. "We are grateful for Al's steady leadership as CFO during one of the most challenging periods in the Company's history, including the purchase and integration of Valspar, the Company's largest ever acquisition, a global pandemic, an industry-wide supply chain crisis, and the construction of our new global headquarters and R&D facilities, among many others. Sherwin-Williams market capitalization more than tripled during Al's time as CFO, and his relentless focus on delivering results for all our stakeholders will continue to inspire us for years to come. We wish him a long and healthy retirement with his family."
Mr. Meisenzahl has held multiple roles of increasing responsibility over his 22-year career with Sherwin-Williams, including his current role as Senior Vice President – Finance where he leads the Company's Treasury, Tax, Finance Transformation and Global Business Services functions. His experience also includes global finance and operational roles in the Company's Paint Stores Group, Performance Coatings Group and Global Supply Chain. He began his career at Sherwin-Williams as an internal auditor.
"The selection of Ben as CFO is the result of a deliberate and thoughtful process to ensure a seamless transition that focuses on continued profitable growth, disciplined capital allocation and financial excellence," commented Jeff M. Fettig, Sherwin-Williams Lead Director. "On behalf of the entire Board, we thank Al for his leadership, commitment and dedication to Sherwin-Williams, and we wish him the very best in his retirement."
Mr. Meisenzahl will report to Ms. Petz and will join a highly experienced senior leadership team which averages 26 years of Sherwin-Williams experience. Justin T. Binns, Karl J. Jorgenrud and Todd D. Rea will continue as leaders of the Company's reportable segments, and Colin M. Davie will continue to lead the global supply chain organization.
Mr. Meisenzahl holds a bachelor's degree in finance from Miami University (of Ohio) and serves on the Board of Directors of Cleveland-based non-profit organizations Team NEO and GiGi's Playhouse.

Portfolio Optimization Program ("POP") Realized an additional ~$74 million from non-core asset and leasehold divestitures in 3Q, bringing year-to-date proceeds up to ~$144 million Appalachian Compressor Station $500,000 margin-enhancing acquisition, which was identified and integrated by our field team, has lead to over $3 million per year in run-rate cost savings including incremental CMM credits Rusty Hutson, Jr., CEO of Diversified, commented:
“I am very pleased to report that our year-to-date results have exceeded our plans and our teams have continued to perform with operational focus and excellence. Our growing portfolio of high-quality assets continued to deliver exceptional results this quarter, generating a year-over-year increase of approximately 105% in revenue(d) and 157% in free cash flow(c), demonstrating Diversified’s ability to generate substantial value in volatile markets. This performance reflects the strength of our business model, the disciplined approach to acquire assets, the commitment to our optimization strategy, the consistency of our operational execution, and our ability quickly and efficiently integrate acquisitions to capture synergies and enhance margins.
Importantly, we also delivered on our leverage target goal ahead of schedule, ending the quarter with a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio of approximately 2.4x. Significant strategic work over the last few years has built us into a company with higher growth prospects, a robust cash flow profile, and solid footing to deliver on our capital allocation framework. This progress has enabled us to strengthen our commitment to shareholders with a record year-to-date return of capital through dividends and share repurchases of approximately seven percent of our current shares outstanding.
The strength of our underlying business, our strategy, and our capabilities, coupled with our strategic partnership with the Carlyle Group, has allowed us to execute our disciplined inorganic growth through an accretive acquisition strategy with the recently announced agreement to purchase Canvas Energy. We believe the strong fit with our existing Oklahoma assets, our differentiated scale, and vertical integration will drive attractive financial returns. Our established acquisition integration playbook, the execution of which allowed us to complete both field-level and corporate-level integration of Maverick ahead of schedule, creates high confidence in our ability to execute the integration of Canvas. We remain well-positioned with strong liquidity and further balance sheet optionality for a robust funnel of potential high-quality opportunities.
Looking ahead, given our momentum on synergy capture, numerous portfolio optimization opportunities, and strong third-quarter performance, we are raising our financial guidance ranges for fiscal year 2025 for both adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. In addition, we continued to believe that our proposed redomestication to the United States and the change in our primary listing to the New York Stock Exchange, which includes full SEC reporting for domestic issuers beginning with year-end 2025 results, will offer several potential benefits that are in the best interest of all shareholders.
With outstanding performance across our platform, Diversified is well-positioned to thrive as a proven portfolio manager of cash generating energy assets in today’s evolving corporate landscape. We are proud to be the Right Company at the Right Time, delivering essential energy while creating long-term value for all stakeholders.”

The Company is increasing its previously announced Full Year 2025 guidance following the recently completed quarter. Specifically, Diversified has raised its range on Adjusted EBITDA and increased its target for Adjusted Free Cash Flow. The table below outlines these adjustments.

The Company includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the Company’s Full Year 2025 Outlook. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-IFRS financial measures and have not been reconciled to the most comparable IFRS financial measures because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of management’s control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide an outlook for the comparable IFRS measures.
Conference Call Details
The Company will host a conference call tomorrow, Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 8:30 AM EST 1:30 PM GMT to discuss the 3Q25 Results and will make an audio replay of the event available shortly thereafter.

This announcement contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning the financial condition, results of operations, business and outlook of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Group”). All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which contain the words "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "seek", "continue", "aim", "target", "projected", "plan", "goal", "achieve", “guidance” and words of similar meaning, reflect the Company's beliefs and expectations and are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Company's present and future business strategies and the environment the Company and the Group will operate in and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. No representation is made that any of these statements or forecasts will come to pass or that any forecast results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve inherent known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or the Group to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the Company's or the Group's ability to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions, currency fluctuations, the behavior of other market participants, the actions of regulators and other factors such as the Company's or the Group's ability to continue to obtain financing to meet its liquidity needs, the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquisitions, including the acquired Maverick assets, changes in the political, social and regulatory framework, including inflation and changes resulting from actual or anticipated tariffs and trade policies, in which the Company or the Group operate or in economic or technological trends or conditions. The list above is not exhaustive and there are other factors that may cause the Company's or the Group's actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement, Including the risk factors described in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of their date and neither the Company nor the Group nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates or advisers expressly disclaim any obligation to supplement, amend, update or revise any of the forward-looking statements made herein, except where it would be required to do so under applicable law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements in this announcement, may not occur. As a result, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Past performance of the Company cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance. No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast or a profit estimate and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that the financial performance of the Company for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published for the Company.
Use of Non-IFRS Measures
Certain key operating metrics that are not defined under IFRS (alternative performance measures) are included in this announcement. These non-IFRS measures are used by us to monitor the underlying business performance of the Company from period to period and to facilitate comparison with our peers. Since not all companies calculate these or other non-IFRS metrics in the same way, the manner in which we have chosen to calculate the non-IFRS metrics presented herein may not be compatible with similarly defined terms used by other companies. The non-IFRS metrics should not be considered in isolation of, or viewed as substitutes for, the financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Certain of the key operating metrics are based on information derived from our regularly maintained records and accounting and operating systems.
Adjusted EBITDA
As used herein, EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjusting for items that are not comparable period-over-period, namely, finance costs, accretion of asset retirement obligation, other (income) expense, loss on joint and working interest owners receivable, gain on bargain purchases, (gain) loss on fair value adjustments of unsettled financial instruments, (gain) loss on natural gas and oil property and equipment, costs associated with acquisitions, other adjusting costs, loss on early retirement of debt, non-cash equity compensation, (gain) loss on foreign currency hedge, net (gain) loss on interest rate swaps and items of a similar nature.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating profit or loss, net income or loss, or cash flows provided by operating, investing, and financing activities. However, we believe such a measure is useful to an investor in evaluating our financial performance because it (1) is widely used by investors in the natural gas and oil industry as an indicator of underlying business performance; (2) helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the often-volatile revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement; (3) is used in the calculation of a key metric in one of the financial covenants under our revolving credit facility; and (4) is used by us as a performance measure in determining executive compensation. When evaluating this measure, we believe investors also commonly find it useful to evaluate this metric as a percentage of our total revenue, inclusive of settled hedges, producing what we refer to as our adjusted EBITDA margin.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the IFRS Financial measure of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods listed:

(2) Excludes $74 million and $11 million in cash proceeds received for leasehold sales during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, less $54 million of basis in leasehold sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
(3) Other adjusting costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were primarily associated with one-time personnel-related expenses and legal fees from certain litigation.
(4) Includes adjustments for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025 for the Maverick, Summit, Crescent Pass, and East Texas II acquisitions as well as for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024 for the Oaktree acquisition.
Net Debt and Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA
As used herein, net debt represents total debt as recognized on the balance sheet less cash and restricted cash. Total debt includes our borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our borrowings under or issuances of, as applicable, our subsidiaries’ securitization facilities, excluding original issuance discounts and deferred finance costs. We believe net debt is a useful indicator of our leverage and capital structure.
As used herein, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, or “leverage” or “leverage ratio,” is measured as net debt divided by adjusted trailing twelve-month EBITDA. We believe that this metric is a key measure of our financial liquidity and flexibility and is used in the calculation of a key metric in one of the financial covenants under our revolving credit facility.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the IFRS Financial measure of Total Non-Current Borrowings to the Non-IFRS measure of Net Debt and a calculation of Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt-to-Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods listed:
As of (In thousands)September 30, 2025September 30, 2024December 31, 2024Total debt$2,600,393$1,697,210$1,693,242LESS: Cash and cash equivalents 43,102 9,013 5,990LESS: Restricted cash(1)(2) 103,673 49,678 46,269Net debt$2,453,618$1,638,519$1,640,983 Pro forma TTM adjusted EBITDA(3)$1,021,507$555,456$548,570Net debt-to-pro forma TTM adjusted EBITDA(4)2.4x2.9x3.0x (1) Includes adjustments for deferred financing costs and original issue discounts, consistent with presentation on the Statement of Financial Position.
(2) The increase of restricted cash as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, is due to the addition of $19 million and $31 million in restricted cash for the ABS X Notes and ABS Maverick Notes, respectively, offset by $4 million for the retirement of the ABS I & II notes.
(3) Includes adjustments the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025 for the Maverick, Summit, Crescent Pass, and East Texas II acquisitions as well as for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024 for the Oaktree acquisition.
(4)Does not include adjustments for working capital which are often customary in the market.
Free Cash Flow
As used herein, free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less expenditures on natural gas and oil properties and equipment and cash paid for interest. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash that is available for activities other than capital expenditures. The Directors believe that free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to service debt obligations, make strategic acquisitions and investments, and pay dividends.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the IFRS Financial measure of Net Cash from Operating Activities to the Non-IFRS measure of Free Cash Flow for each of the periods listed:

CHICAGO, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XAI Madison Equity Premium Income Fund (the “Fund”) has declared its regular monthly distribution of $0.060 per share on the Fund’s common shares (NYSE: MCN), payable on December 1, 2025, to common shareholders of record as of November 17, 2025, as noted below. The amount of the distribution represents no change from the previous month’s distribution amount of $0.060 per share.
As mentioned in previous distribution declarations, the Fund has changed its distribution frequency from quarterly to monthly, which went into effect with the April 1, 2025 declaration. XA Investments believes this change enables investors to better manage their cash flow needs.
The following dates apply to the declaration:
Ex-Dividend DateNovember 17, 2025 Record DateNovember 17, 2025 Payable DateDecember 1, 2025 Amount$0.060 per share Change from Previous MonthNo Change Common share distributions may be paid from net investment income (regular interest and dividends), capital gains and/or a return of capital. The specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to the Fund’s common shareholders on Form 1099 after the end of the 2025 calendar year. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net income or profit. For further information regarding the Fund’s distributions, please visit www.xainvestments.com.
The Fund’s net investment income and capital gain can vary significantly over time; however, the Fund seeks to maintain more stable common share quarterly distributions over time. The Fund’s final taxable income for the current fiscal year will not be known until the Fund’s tax returns are filed.
As a registered investment company, the Fund is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if the Fund does not distribute to common shareholders by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on December 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Fund’s fiscal year). In certain circumstances, the Fund may elect to retain income or capital gain to the extent that the Board of Trustees, in consultation with Fund management, determines it to be in the interest of shareholders to do so.
The common share distributions paid by the Fund for any particular period may be more than the amount of net investment income from that period. As a result, all or a portion of a distribution may be a return of capital, which is in effect a partial return of the amount a common shareholder invested in the Fund, up to the amount of the common shareholder’s tax basis in their common shares, which would reduce such tax basis. Although a return of capital may not be taxable, it will generally increase the common shareholder’s potential gain, or reduce the common shareholder’s potential loss, on any subsequent sale or other disposition of common shares.
Future common share distributions will be made if and when declared by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, after the evaluation of several factors, including the Fund’s net investment income, financial performance and available cash. There can be no assurance that the amount or timing of common share distributions in the future will be equal or similar to that described herein or that the Board of Trustees will not decide to suspend or discontinue the payment of common share distributions in the future.
The Fund’s objective is to achieve a high level of current income and current capital gains, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Fund intends to pursue its objective by investing in a portfolio of common stocks and utilizing an option strategy, primarily by writing (selling) covered call options on a substantial portion of the common stocks in the portfolio in order to generate current income and gains from option writing premiums and, to a lesser extent, from dividends. Market action can impact dividend issuance as the Fund’s total assets affect the Fund’s future dividend prospects. The Fund provides additional information on its website at www.xainvestments.com.

Fabrinet Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Record First Quarter Revenue and Earnings Per Share Above Guidance Ranges BANGKOK, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fabrinet (NYSE: FN), a leading provider of advanced optical packaging and precision optical, electro-mechanical and electronic manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers of complex products, today announced its financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 26, 2025.
Seamus Grady, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fabrinet, said, “We had an outstanding first quarter with revenue of $978 million dollars, which was above our guidance range. This record result was driven by another strong telecom performance, an early contribution from new High-Performance Computing revenue, and a smaller than anticipated sequential decline in datacom revenue. With continued strong execution, our revenue upside flowed directly to the bottom line, resulting in record earnings per share that also exceeded our guidance. With multiple tailwinds, we are optimistic that we will see our growth further accelerate in the second quarter.”
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Highlights
GAAP Results
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $978.1 million, compared to $804.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $95.9 million, compared to $77.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.GAAP net income per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $2.66, compared to $2.13 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include: (1) our optimism and confidence in our ability to deliver strong execution in the second fiscal quarter; and (2) all of the statements under the “Business Outlook” section regarding our expected revenue, GAAP and non-GAAP net income per share, and fully diluted shares outstanding for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic conditions, either globally or in our markets, and the risk of recession or an economic downturn; disruption to our supply chain, which could increase our costs and affect our ability to procure parts and materials; less customer demand for our products and services than forecasted; less growth in the optical communications, automotive, industrial lasers and sensors markets than we forecast; difficulties expanding into additional markets, such as the semiconductor processing, biotechnology, metrology and materials processing markets; increased competition in the optical manufacturing services markets; difficulties in delivering products and services that compete effectively from a price and performance perspective; our reliance on a small number of customers and suppliers; difficulties in managing our operating costs; difficulties in managing and operating our business across multiple countries (including Thailand, the People’s Republic of China, Israel and the U.S.); and other important factors as described in reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the factors described under the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 19, 2025. We disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information to: (1) measure company performance against historical results, (2) facilitate comparisons to our competitors’ operating results, and (3) allow greater transparency with respect to information used by management in making financial and operational decisions. In addition, we use some of these non-GAAP financial measures to measure company performance for the purposes of determining employee incentive plan compensation.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share exclude: share-based compensation expenses; severance payment and others; restructuring and other related costs; and legal and litigation costs. We have excluded these items in order to enhance investors’ understanding of our underlying operations.
Non-GAAP free cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, minus capital expenditures (purchase of property, plant and equipment). We use free cash flow to measure our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. We urge you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

KEY FINANCIAL MEASURES AND NON-GAAP MEASURES
Management uses certain key financial measures, some of which are not prescribed under U.S. GAAP rules and standards (“non-GAAP financial measures”), to evaluate our financial performance, financial position, and the change in shareholder value. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined in SEC Regulation G, is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented under U.S. GAAP. We believe that these measures, which may be calculated or defined differently by other companies, provide consistent and comparable metrics of our business performance to help shareholders understand performance trends and facilitate a more thorough understanding of the Company’s business. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for those determined under U.S. GAAP.
The key non-GAAP financial measure used in this news release is:
Fully diluted book value per share This non-GAAP financial measure is described below.
Fully Diluted Book Value Per Share
Our primary financial goal is to increase fully diluted book value per share over the long term. We use fully diluted book value as a financial measure in our incentive compensation plan.
We believe that long-term growth in fully diluted book value per share is the most relevant measure of our financial performance because it provides management and investors a yardstick to monitor the shareholder value generated. Fully diluted book value per share may also help our investors, shareholders, and other interested parties form a basis of comparison with other companies within the property and casualty reinsurance industry. Fully diluted book value per share should not be viewed as a substitute for the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, which in our view is the basic book value per share.
We calculate basic book value per share as (a) ending shareholders' equity, divided by (b) the total ordinary shares issued and outstanding, as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Fully diluted book value per share represents basic book value per share combined with any dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options (assuming net exercise) and all outstanding restricted stock units, “RSUs”. We believe these adjustments better reflect the ultimate dilution to our shareholders.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the fully diluted book value per share to basic book value per share (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure):

Skycorp Solar Group Limited Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency
Ningbo, China, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skycorp Solar Group Limited (Nasdaq: PN) (the “Company”), a solar PV product provider engaged in the manufacture and sale of solar cables and solar connectors, today announced that the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on October 30, 2025, stating that the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), fail to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) based upon the closing bid price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notice.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided with an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until April 28, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Class A Ordinary Shares must be at least $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive business days (with such compliance period extendable at the discretion of Nasdaq) prior to April 28, 2026. Nasdaq would then provide a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company is unable to regain compliance by April 28, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, and it must otherwise appear to Nasdaq that the Company is capable of curing the deficiency. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180 calendar day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Class A Ordinary Shares, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.
The Company will monitor the closing bid price of its Class A Ordinary Shares. Receipt of the Notice has no effect on the Company’s business operations.

(NYSE: RHP), a leading lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company reported consolidated revenue of $592.5 million, driven by Hospitality segment revenue of $500.9 million and Entertainment segment revenue of $91.6 million. Generated consolidated net income of $34.0 million and consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre of $173.1 million.Booked over 667,000 same-store Hospitality(1) Gross Definite Room Nights for all future periods, at an all-time quarterly record estimated average daily rate (ADR) of $291. The JW Marriott Desert Ridge booked nearly 50,000 Gross Definite Rooms Nights for all future periods, at an estimated ADR of $372.Subsequent to quarter-end, Opry Entertainment Group (OEG) and Luke Combs jointly announced the planned development of a second Category 10 location in the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino complex, with frontage on the Las Vegas Strip, expected to open in late 2026. The Company is narrowing the ranges of its full year 2025 outlook, which results in slightly lower midpoints for operating income, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders per diluted share/unit.
Mark Fioravanti, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “We were pleased to deliver third quarter results largely in line with our expectations. As anticipated, the uncertainty associated with the new U.S. tariff announcements earlier in the year and the pause in meeting planner decision-making that followed marginally impacted our group business in the third quarter. However, estimated same-store group rooms revenue on the books for the fourth quarter is comparable to the same time last year, and for 2026 it is pacing up nearly 8 percent as compared to estimated group rooms revenue on the books at the same time last year for 2025. Recently completed major capital projects, particularly at Gaylord Rockies, are delivering returns above our underwriting expectations, and meeting planners continue to be enthusiastic about the transformational investments currently underway.”

Third Quarter 2025 Hospitality Segment Highlights
The same-store Hospitality portfolio generated third quarter operating income of $90.8 million and Adjusted EBITDAre of $151.4 million; strong corporate group mix in the third quarter of 2024 contributed to challenging year-over-year comparisons. Same-store Hospitality corporate group room nights traveled in the quarter were approximately 20,000 room nights lower than the prior-year quarter. As a result, same-store banquet and AV revenue declined approximately $13.6 million, driven primarily by the group mix shift.As anticipated, macroeconomic uncertainty has resulted in higher group cancellation trends compared to the prior year quarter, particularly for government and government-related groups. Same-store attrition and cancellation fee revenue was approximately $11.6 million, an increase of $3.7 million compared to the prior year quarter. In July 2025, the Company started a rooms renovation at the Gaylord Texan, and in September 2025, the Company completed meeting space renovations at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge.

Fioravanti continued, “In our Entertainment business, we remain focused on expanding the reach of the Grand Ole Opry brand in connection with its 100-year celebration. In September, the Opry traveled to the Royal Albert Hall in London for the first international performance in its history. International engagement with the Opry brand has exceeded our expectations, which we believe bodes well for future demand for the Opry and Nashville more broadly. In addition, we recently announced the expansion of the Category 10 brand with a second location on the Las Vegas Strip, expected to open in late 2026. Despite increased competitive supply of live entertainment options in downtown Nashville, we continue to see healthy demand and consumer enthusiasm for our iconic brands and venues, underscoring the unique nature of our portfolio.”

Capital Expenditures
In 2025, the Company expects to spend approximately $375 to $425 million on capital expenditures, primarily related to its Hospitality business, which includes approximately $252 million spent through September 30, 2025.
Major ongoing Hospitality projects include:
Continuation of the sports bar, pavilion and event lawn development at Gaylord Opryland, which is expected to be completed in April 2026;Continuation of the meeting space expansion at Gaylord Opryland, which is expected to be completed in 2027; andRenovation of the rooms at Gaylord Texan, which began in July 2025 and is expected to be completed by mid-year 2026.
Included in the Company’s capital expenditure estimates are modest investments at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge; accelerated materials purchasing for the anticipated 2026 rooms renovation at the JW Marriott Hill Country; and initial project costs for the development of Category 10 Las Vegas. The Company estimates the total project cost for Category 10 Las Vegas will be approximately $35 million, with the majority of cash spending occurring in 2026.
Disruption
For 2025, the Company affirms its previously stated expectation that the full year impact of construction-related disruption to its same-store Hospitality segment will be 250 to 350 basis points to RevPAR; 200 to 300 basis points to Total RevPAR; and $30 to $35 million to operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre. For the remainder of 2025, construction-related disruption is expected to impact results at Gaylord Texan.
2025 Guidance
The Company is updating its 2025 business performance outlook based on current information as of November 3, 2025. The Company does not expect to update the guidance provided below before next quarter’s earnings release. However, the Company may update or withdraw its full business outlook or any portion thereof at any time for any reason, including due to economic uncertainty and volatility.
Fioravanti concluded, “With much of the year behind us, we are narrowing the range of expectations for our full year 2025 outlook, including modestly lowering the midpoint for the Entertainment segment due to the impact of new supply of live entertainment venues in downtown Nashville. Demand for country music and Nashville-based tourism remains robust, and our iconic brands and experiences continue to resonate with consumers in the United States and abroad.”

Additional Information
This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Copies of our reports are available on our website at no expense at www.rymanhp.com and through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) at www.sec.gov.
Calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR
We calculate revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. We calculate total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing the sum of room revenue, food & beverage, and other ancillary services revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. Hospitality metrics do not include the results of the W Austin, which is included in the Entertainment segment.
Calculation of GAAP Margin Figures
We calculate net income available to common stockholders margin by dividing GAAP consolidated net income available to common stockholders by GAAP consolidated total revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level operating income margin by dividing consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP operating income by consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP revenue.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present the following non-GAAP financial measures we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:
EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Definition
We calculate EBITDAre, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its September 2017 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property of the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.
Adjusted EBITDAre is then calculated as EBITDAre, plus to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:
preopening costs;non-cash lease expense;equity-based compensation expense;impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;credit losses on held-to-maturity securities;transaction costs of acquisitions;interest income on bonds;loss on extinguishment of debt;pension settlement charges;pro rata Adjusted EBITDAre from unconsolidated joint ventures; andany other adjustments we have identified herein.
We then exclude the pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDAre related to noncontrolling interests to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest.
We use EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest and segment or property-level EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income or operating income, as applicable, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics.
Adjusted EBITDAre Margin and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin Definition
We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest by GAAP consolidated total revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre Margin by dividing consolidated, segment-, or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre by consolidated, segment-, or property-level GAAP revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this non-GAAP financial measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by presenting a ratio showing the quantitative relationship between Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest and GAAP consolidated total revenue or segment or property-level GAAP revenue, as applicable.
FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted FFO Available to Common Stockholders and Unit Holders Definition
We calculate FFO, which definition is clarified by NAREIT in its December 2018 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts), gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from a change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciated real estate held by the entity, income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures.
To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders, we then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:
right-of-use asset amortization;impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;write-offs of deferred financing costs;amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs;loss on extinguishment of debt;non-cash lease expense;credit loss on held-to-maturity securities;pension settlement charges;additional pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures;(gains) losses on other assets;transaction costs of acquisitions;deferred income tax expense (benefit); andany other adjustments we have identified herein.
FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders exclude the ownership portion of the joint ventures not controlled or owned by the Company.
We present Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders per diluted share/unit as a non-GAAP measure of our performance in addition to net income available to common stockholders per diluted share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). We calculate Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders per diluted share/unit as Adjusted FFO (defined as set forth above) for a given operating period, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, divided by the number of diluted shares and units outstanding during such period.
We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because each presents a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items, which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures as measures in determining our results after considering the impact of our capital structure.
We caution investors that non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. The non-GAAP financial measures we present, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our net income, operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, or cash flow from operations.

AltaGas to Retain MVP as Long-Term Investment; Announces $400 Million Bought Deal Financing
AltaGas Ltd. ("AltaGas" or the "Company") (TSX: ALA) today announced its decision to retain ownership in the Mountain Valley Pipeline (“MVP”) as a long-term investment. Concurrently, AltaGas has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters, led by CIBC Capital Markets, TD Securities Inc., RBC Capital Markets and Scotiabank for a bought deal equity financing to issue $400 million of common equity. While not material on a consolidated level, these actions are expected to maximize value for AltaGas’ shareholders—driving modestly higher near- and medium-term normalized EPS accretion relative to a monetization of MVP. The equity issuance will be leverage neutral in the near-term, when compared to a monetization of MVP; and longer-term, post the two expansion projects coming online, will enhance AltaGas’ credit metrics and increase investment capacity to fund growth projects.
Bought Deal Financing
AltaGas has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by CIBC Capital Markets, TD Securities Inc., RBC Capital Markets and Scotiabank (collectively, the "Underwriters") under which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 10,100,000 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of $400 million at an offering price of $39.65 per Common Share (the "Offering").
AltaGas has granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase, on the same terms and exercisable not more than 30 days after the closing of the offering, up to an additional 1,515,000 common shares for additional gross proceeds of up to approximately $60 million. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about November 7, 2025.
AltaGas intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for leverage reduction and to fund future growth, with the financing expected to deliver the same net near-term de-leveraging as would have been achieved through a full monetization of MVP and stronger long-term leverage reduction through MVP ownership once the Boost and Southgate projects (described below) come online.
The Common Shares will be offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement under the short form base shelf prospectus filed by the Corporation on March 12, 2025, in each of the provinces of Canada (collectively, the "prospectus"). The prospectus will contain important detailed information about the securities being offered. Investors should read the prospectus before making an investment decision. The prospectus is available on SEDAR+ at http://www.sedarplus.ca.
An electronic or paper copy of the shelf prospectus supplement, the corresponding base shelf prospectus and any amendment to the documents may be obtained, without charge, from CIBC Capital Markets, 161 Bay Street, 5th Floor, Toronto, ON M5J 2S8 or by telephone at 416-956-6378 or by email at [email protected] by providing an email address or address, as applicable or from TD Securities Inc. at 1625 Tech Avenue, Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 5P5, Attention: Symcor, NPM or by telephone at (289) 360-2009 or by email at [email protected] or from RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Attention: Distribution Centre, 180 Wellington Street West, 8th Floor, Toronto, ON M5J 0C2 or by email at [email protected] or from Scotiabank at 40 Temperance Street, 6th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5H 0B4, Attention: Equity Capital Markets or by phone at (416)-863-7704 or by email at [email protected] by providing the contact with an email address or address, as applicable. The base shelf prospectus and prospectus supplement will contain important detailed information about the Company and the Offering. Prospective investors should read the shelf prospectus and prospectus supplement (when filed) and the other documents the Company has filed on SEDAR+ before making an investment decision.
The Common Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States and, accordingly, may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Common Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
MVP Update
Following a comprehensive sales process, AltaGas has elected to retain its ownership in MVP, including the MVP Mainline, MVP Boost, and MVP Southgate projects. The Company was pleased by robust demand from a broad set of buyers throughout the sale process. However, recent developments released over the past month has altered AltaGas’ view of proceeding with a monetization. As such, retaining MVP with its attractive near-term expansion projects will enhance shareholder value.
Key highlights on the strategic rationale to keep MVP:
MVP Boost Exceeds Expectations: Following a highly oversubscribed open season, the MVP partners have increased the size of the proposed MVP Boost expansion by 20 percent. The project will now add 600 MMcf/d of capacity with a mid-2028 in-service date, subject to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”). This is one year earlier than previously anticipated.MVP Boost to Deliver Strong Project-level Returns: The full 600 MMcf/d of incremental capacity has been contracted under 20-year take-or-pay agreements with large investment-grade utilities at rates well above existing mainline contracts. Importantly, the 20 percent higher throughput will be delivered with no increase in the forecasted capital cost. Boost is expected to achieve a ~3x EBITDA build multiple, an attractive return profile for a brownfield development, supported by minimal incremental operating costs and is backstopped by highly creditworthy utilities. AltaGas will continue to own 10 percent of MVP Boost, with a remaining capital commitment of US$45 million for AltaGas to bring the project into service.Progress on MVP Southgate Continues: The proposed MVP Southgate project—an extension of the MVP Mainline into North Carolina—is advancing under a more efficient project plan. On October 2, 2025, FERC published its Environmental Assessment in coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, concluding that Southgate would not cause significant adverse impacts if specific mitigation measures and environmental safeguards are implemented. AltaGas expects Southgate to also deliver attractive project-level returns with an expected <5.0x EBITDA build multiple on incremental investments by leveraging existing MVP infrastructure. The project is expected to be in service ahead of MVP Boost. AltaGas will retain a 5.1 percent interest in Southgate with a modest remaining capital commitment of ~US$16 million to bring the project into service.MVP Mainline Outperformance: The MVP Mainline continues to exceed AltaGas’ financial expectations in 2025. Supported by 20-year contracts with investment-grade counterparties, the pipeline remains a critical conduit for Appalachian gas into key downstream markets. MVP alleviates constrained Appalachian production and connects to multiple sources of growing market demand, including LNG export from the U.S. gulf coast, increasing base load power generation, and rising data center usage. AltaGas expects this strong operational performance to continue under EQT’s industry-leading performance as operator. AltaGas now expects project-level MVP EBITDA to increase significantly by the second half of 2028, following completion of the two expansion projects. As such, even assuming a monetization at the highest valuation multiple achieved for a minority pipeline monetization in recent years, on a 2026 multiple, a sale of AltaGas’ stake would be a low multiple on projected run-rate EBITDA following the now near-term expansions, inclusive of the Company’s net future investments—further reinforcing the superior value of continued ownership. By raising equity to achieve the same near-term leverage reduction as a monetization, AltaGas anticipates $0.02 higher normalized EPS in 2026, $0.03 higher normalized EPS in 2027, and $0.05 higher normalized EPS in 2028+, once expansions are online, than what would have been achieved through a divestiture. Retaining MVP is also expected to drive enhanced deleveraging as these projects come into service and the cash flow rises.
AltaGas is excited to remain an owner of MVP and believes retaining the assets will deliver superior value to its shareholders.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release contains references to certain financial measures used by AltaGas that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by US GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to US GAAP financial measures are shown in AltaGas’ MD&A as at and for the period ended September 30, 2025.

EBITDA is a measure of AltaGas' operating profitability prior to how business activities are financed, assets are amortized, or earnings are taxed. EBITDA is calculated from the Consolidated Statements of Income using net income adjusted for pre-tax depreciation and amortization, and interest expense. Normalized EBITDA includes additional adjustments for transaction costs related to acquisitions and dispositions, unrealized losses (gains) on risk management contracts, losses on sale of assets, transition and restructuring costs, provisions on assets, accretion expenses and foreign exchange losses (gains). AltaGas presents normalized EBITDA as a supplemental measure. Normalized EBITDA is used by Management to enhance the understanding of AltaGas' earnings over periods, as well as for budgeting and compensation related purposes. The metric is frequently used by analysts and investors in the evaluation of entities within the industry as it excludes items that can vary substantially between entities depending on the accounting policies chosen, the book value of assets, and the capital structure. Normalized earnings per share is calculated with reference to normalized net income divided by the average number of shares outstanding during the period. Normalized net income is calculated from the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) using net income (loss) applicable to common shares adjusted for transaction costs related to acquisitions and dispositions, unrealized losses (gains) on risk management contracts, losses on sale of assets, provision on assets, transition and restructuring costs, unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on intercompany balances. Normalized net income and normalized net income per share are used by Management to enhance the comparability of AltaGas’ earnings, as these metrics reflect the underlying performance of AltaGas’ business activities.

SummaryRayonier is the only pure-play timberland REIT listed on North American exchanges.RYN's portfolio includes 2.0 million acres of timberland in prime locations, mostly in the southern United States, the bright spot within the North American forest industry.Canadian imports of lumber and timber are currently subject to duties and tariffs totalling 45%. If nothing changes, this is set to increase to 65% on January 1st.Rayonier is well-positioned to benefit from the current tariff trend, but also from the structural urbanization trend surrounding large metropolitan areas.I view the ongoing merger with PotlatchDeltic as a net positive, mostly due to the optimized capital structure and improved access to capital of the combined entity.

Deadline Alert: Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (JSPR) Shareholders Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP About Securities Fraud Lawsuit
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP reminds investors of the upcoming November 18, 2025 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (“Jasper” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: JSPR) securities between November 30, 2023 and July 3, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR JASPER INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.
What Happened?
On July 7, 2025, Jasper released an update on its Phase 1b/2a clinical study of subcutaneous briquilimab for the treatment of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (“CSU”), referred to as the “BEACON Study,” stating that certain results “appear to be confounded by an issue with one drug product lot used in those cohorts, with 10 of the 13 patients dosed with drug from the lot in question,” and that Jasper was “taking steps to ensure that drug product from the lot in question is returned to the Company and that sites have drug product from other lots to continue dosing.” Further, the Company revealed it “has also determined that the drug product lot in question was used to treat participants enrolled in the ETESIAN [Study]. As a result, and in order to focus resources on advancing briquilimab in CSU, the Company is halting the study and pausing development in asthma.” Jasper also disclosed that it would be “halting development in SCID” and “will be implementing a number of other cost cutting measures including a potential restructuring, to extend runway and reduce expenses.”
On this news, Jasper’s stock price fell $3.73, or 55.1%, to close at $3.04 per share on July 7, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
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 Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Jasper lacked the controls and procedures necessary to ensure that the third-party manufacturers on which it relied were manufacturing products in full accordance with cGMP regulations and otherwise suitable for use in clinical trials; (2) the foregoing failure increased the risk that results of ongoing studies would be confounded, thereby negatively impacting the regulatory and commercial prospects of the Company’s products, including briquilimab; (3) the foregoing increased the likelihood of disruptive cost-reduction measures; (4) accordingly, the Company’s business and/or financial prospects, as well as briquilimab’s clinical and/or commercial prospects, were overstated; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Jasper securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than November 18, 2025 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses Exceeding $100,000 In Synopsys To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options
If you suffered losses exceeding $100,000 in Synopsys between December 4, 2024 and September 9, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Synopsys, Inc. (“Synopsys” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SNPS) and reminds investors of the December 30, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the extent to which the Company’s increased focus on artificial intelligence customers, which require additional customization, was deteriorating the economics of its Design IP business; (2) that, as a result, “certain road map and resource decisions” were unlikely to “yield their intended results;” (3) that the foregoing had a material negative impact on financial results; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On September 9, 2025, after market hours, Synopsys released its third quarter 2025 financial results, revealing the Company’s “IP business underperformed expectations.” The Company reported quarterly revenue of $1.740 billion, missing its prior guidance of between $1.755 billion and $1.785 billion, and reported net income of $242.5 million, a 43% year-over-year decline from $425.9 million reported for third quarter 2024. Moreover, the Company reported its Design IP segment accounted for approximately 25% of revenue and came in at $426.6 million, a 7.7% decline year-over-year. Finally, management provided guidance which implied that Design IP revenues will decline by at least 5% on a full-year basis in fiscal 2025.
On this news, Synopsys’s stock price fell $216.59, or 35.8%, to close at $387.78 per share on September 10, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Synopsys’ conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
To learn more about the Synopsys class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/SNPS or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Hussman Sells Off All 21,000 CHKP Shares Valued At $4.65 Million
On November 03, 2025, Hussman Strategic Advisors reported a full exit from Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (CHKP 0.82%) in Q3 2025 with an estimated $4.65 million trade.
What happenedAccording to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated November 03, 2025, Hussman Strategic Advisors, Inc. sold out its stake in Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. The fund sold 21,000 shares, removing the position from its portfolio with a $4,646,250 value.
What else to knowThe fund fully exited its CHKP position, which now represents 0% of reportable 13F assets under management. CHKP previously represented approximately 1.1% of fund AUM.

The company's strategy emphasizes integrated security architectures and advanced threat prevention, positioning it as a trusted partner for organizations facing complex cyber risks. Its scalable platforms and multichannel distribution model drive growth in the cybersecurity industry.Foolish takeHussman Strategic Advisors just completely sold off its $4.6 million stake in Check Point Software Technologies. This move marks its full exit from the cybersecurity company after a decent but not exactly stellar 2025. The stock has only climbed 4% this year through early November, lagging behind the wider market as investors are flocking to faster-growing tech stocks.
For Hussman, the decision probably comes down to simply rebalancing its portfolio rather than any real concern about Check Point's core business. The company is still a foundational player in enterprise cybersecurity, giving global organizations robust protection for their networks, cloud setups, and endpoints. Its focus on cutting-edge threat prevention and smart cost management has kept it consistently profitable, even as newer rivals try for more aggressive expansion.
While its growth has been on the slower side, Check Point's strong balance sheet and reliable income from security subscriptions make it a solid, dependable name in an otherwise volatile sector. Hussman’s exit seems more like a smart, strategic move—locking in profits and shifting capital toward opportunities with higher potential upside—than a skeptical vote against the company.

Experian to Launch Credit Score in UK That Includes Rental Payments
Experian UK&I is set to introduce a new credit score in the United Kingdom that will include rental payments and other financial behaviors in consumers’ daily lives.
The new Experian Credit Score will begin rolling out this month and will reach all U.K. consumers by the end of the year, the company said in a Monday (Nov. 3) press release.
The new model includes consumers’ habits around overdraft use, credit card cash advances, and payments on rent and phone contracts, according to the release.
It also features a score range of 0 to 1250, rather than the previous 0 to 999, to provide a more granular breakdown of financial behavior, the release said.
The new score will not affect consumers’ ability to get credit, per the release.
“Eligibility for things like mortgages, loans or credit cards remains the same,” the release said. “The updated score simply provides a more detailed view of people’s financial track record and the new information that banks and lenders have started using, offering new ways to strengthen it over time.”

Edu Castro, managing director of Experian Consumer Services, U.K. and Ireland, said in the release that the new score reflects the evolving ways people manage their money.
“Our new Experian Credit Score better reflects more of the everyday financial behaviors that matter — like paying rent or reducing overdraft use — offering a clearer understanding of the information on your credit report,” Castro said. “This means people get a more personalized view of how they’re doing financially and more practical ways to improve their score — helping unlock better borrowing opportunities for the future.”
The PYMNTS Intelligence report “Subprime Borrowers Flock to Alternative Options Due to High Credit Card Denial Rate” found that one-quarter of subprime consumers use credit for nonessential expenses with the specific intent of raising their credit score.
The report said this dynamic underscores the opportunity that exists for financial institutions to develop more inclusive and responsible strategies to serve this market segment.
In another recent move, Experian said in July that it was launching a new artificial intelligence-powered tool designed to help financial institutions better manage the complex credit and risk models they use to decide who gets a loan or how much credit someone should receive.
The Experian Assistant for Model Risk Management uses automation to create documents, check for errors and monitor model performance.

HII and Shield AI Successfully Combine Proven Autonomy in USV Operations
SYDNEY, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII (NYSE: HII) and Shield AI announced today at the Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition that they have successfully completed the first major test of their integrated autonomy solution aboard HII’s ROMULUS unmanned surface vessel (USV), marking a key step toward operational deployment of the AI-enabled ROMULUS fleet.
The three-day test, conducted in late October in Virginia Beach, Virginia, integrated Shield AI’s combat-proven Hivemind autonomy software, using the Hivemind Enterprise software development kit (SDK), with HII’s Odyssey autonomy suite onboard a ROMULUS 20 USV. The test also marked the first maritime deployment of Hivemind, which enables AI-powered mission autonomy across domains.
This milestone was achieved less than six weeks after the companies announced their partnership, demonstrating rapid adaptability, advanced capabilities, and strong collaboration between the two defense technology leaders.
“This collaboration between HII and Shield AI showcases how adaptable autonomy frameworks can accelerate development,” said Andy Green, president of HII’s Mission Technologies division. “Using the Hivemind Enterprise SDK, our teams integrated capabilities quickly and effectively. The successful deployment on ROMULUS 20 validates the power of this partnership and paves the way for even greater autonomy across the ROMULUS fleet.”
An image accompanying this release is available at: http://hii.com/news/hii-and-shield-ai-successfully-combine-proven-autonomy-in-usv-operations/.
ROMULUS is a modular, high-performance USV line built on commercial-standard hulls for fast production and operational flexibility. The lead vessel, ROMULUS 190, is currently under construction. Designed to exceed 25 knots and operate up to 2,500 nautical miles, ROMULUS 190 will carry four 40-foot ISO containers and feature both Odyssey and Hivemind for next-gen autonomous performance.
Hivemind enables unmanned systems to perform complex missions even in GPS- and communications-denied environments. Proven in aerial operations, Hivemind is now expanding into the maritime domain through this partnership with HII, supporting rapid development and deployment of autonomous capabilities across domains. Under this partnership, Hivemind and Odyssey will integrate into the ROMULUS fleet to operate seamlessly alongside crewed strike groups and surface action groups, while also enabling multi-agent autonomy and intelligent operations.
“Delivering autonomy across domains is key to maintaining a credible deterrent posture in today’s complex geopolitical environment. Each integration strengthens Hivemind’s role as the leading autonomy solution for defense systems,” said Nathan Michael, Shield AI’s chief technology officer and head of the Hivemind business unit. “Through close collaboration with HII and the shared use of Shield AI’s modular, open architecture SDK, we integrated advanced maritime capabilities in less than six weeks — work that typically takes months or years. We look forward to continuing to expand multi-domain autonomy together.”
Shield AI’s Hivemind mission autonomy software and HII’s Odyssey suite will deliver next-generation autonomous solutions. By combining Shield AI’s advanced autonomy with HII’s decades of maritime expertise as America’s largest shipbuilder and leading global maritime unmanned vehicle provider, the two companies aim to accelerate autonomy across domains and platforms.
About ROMULUS and ODYSSEY
ROMULUS, developed with support from HII’s Dark Sea Labs Advanced Technology Group and powered by HII’s Odyssey autonomy software, is capable of manned-unmanned teaming and collaborative operations with unmanned vehicles across all domains. HII’s Odyssey autonomy software is deployed on over 35 USV platforms and over 750 REMUS unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), across 30 countries, including 14 NATO members, and enables rapid integration of sensors and payloads for flexible mission design, enhancing the capability and effectiveness of today’s naval fleets.

Latest Data from Landmark STORM-PE Randomized Controlled Trial Demonstrate that CAVT with Anticoagulation Significantly Improves Functional Outcomes for Patients with Pulmonary Embolism
The STORM-PE RCT data presented at the VIVA 2025 Conference showed PE patients treated with CAVT in combination with anticoagulation demonstrated significantly greater improvements in thrombus burden reduction, heart rate, oxygen requirement, and functional outcomes compared to those who received only anticoagulation
Results of STORM-PE demonstrating superior efficacy of CAVT with anticoagulation versus anticoagulation alone were also published in Circulation today
, /PRNewswire/ -- Penumbra, Inc. (NYSE: PEN) announced additional results of the ground-breaking STORM-PE randomized controlled trial (RCT), which found that the use of computer assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT™) with anticoagulation achieved significantly greater improvements in thrombus burden reduction, heart rate, oxygen requirement, and functional outcomes compared to anticoagulation alone in patients with acute intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism (PE). The data were presented at this week's Vascular Interventional Advances (VIVA) 2025 Conference. The primary results were also published today in American Heart Association's journal Circulation.
STORM-PE is a pivotal, prospective, multi-center randomized controlled trial that enrolled 100 patients across 22 international sites to evaluate computer assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) using Penumbra’s Lightning Flash™ plus anticoagulation, versus anticoagulation alone, for the treatment of acute intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism (PE).
"The latest STORM-PE findings demonstrate substantial improvements in both clinical and functional outcomes, with a significantly higher proportion of patients treated with CAVT plus anticoagulation returning to normalization within 48 hours compared to anticoagulation alone—a remarkable result," Rachel Rosovsky, MD, MPH, co-global principal investigator of STORM-PE RCT, hematologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "STORM-PE highlights the critical importance of early intervention in patients with intermediate-high risk PE and provides the strongest evidence to date that advanced therapy with CAVT offers superior efficacy compared to the current standard treatment of anticoagulation alone. These breakthrough results not only advance the field but also have the potential to meaningfully improve patient care and recovery."
In the trial, patients treated with CAVT plus anticoagulation experienced:
Significantly lowered thrombus burden at 48 hours, with a 2.7 times larger reduction in refined modified Miller score (42.1% vs. 15.6% relative reduction; P < 0.001)
Early physiological recovery with significantly lower heart rate (80.0 bpm vs 86.4 bpm; P = 0.022) and less tachycardia (heart rate > 100, 2.2% vs 20%; P = 0.008), reduced supplemental oxygen requirements (0.5 L/min vs 1.4 L/min; P = 0.027), and a lower NEWS2 risk of clinical deterioration (1.8 vs. 2.7; P = 0.034) at 48 hours
2.2 times greater likelihood of progressing towards recovery of functional status, based on post-venous thromboembolism functional status (PVFS) from pre-PE event to discharge (P = 0.032)
Significantly longer distance walked during the 90-day six-minute walk test (472m vs 376m; P = 0.019). Additionally, CAVT patients near normalized by 90-days, walking 94% of their predicted walk distance vs 75% in the anticoagulation only arm (P = 0.022)
Safety rates through 90 days were comparable, with no device-related mortality, no additional PE-related mortality > 7 days, and no difference in symptomatic PE-recurrence, confirming the safety profile of CAVT.
"These impressive functional outcomes combined with superior reduction in right heart strain add to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the significant impact CAVT can have on acute PE patients," said Robert Lookstein, MD, MSc; co-global principal investigator of the STORM-PE RCT and professor of radiology and surgery at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "This is a foundational trial that will significantly advance PE care, allowing these advanced therapies to be offered to more patients, improving patient outcomes, and potentially leading to the inclusion in future treatment guidelines."
As published today in Circulation, STORM-PE primary outcomes show that patients treated with CAVT in addition to anticoagulation achieved superior reduction in right heart strain with a comparable safety profile versus anticoagulation alone in patients with acute intermediate-high risk PE. These findings were also presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics® (TCT®), the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation® (CRF®), last week.
"STORM-PE confirms that mechanical thrombectomy with CAVT has a significant impact on clinical and functional outcomes," said James F. Benenati, MD, FSIR, chief medical officer at Penumbra. "The STORM-PE results demonstrate that CAVT can rapidly and safely improve patient outcomes and should be considered as a therapeutic option for patients with acute intermediate-high risk PE."
In the U.S., an estimated 900,000 cases of venous thromboembolism, which includes PE, occur annuallyi.

Newell Brands Analysts Cut Their Forecasts After Weak Earnings
Newell Brands Inc. (NASDAQ:NWL) reported third-quarter results on Friday that fell short of analysts' expectations.
The company reported adjusted earnings of 17 cents per share, compared with 16 cents in the prior year period, which was slightly below Wall Street expectations of 18 cents.
Revenue came in at $1.81 billion, missing analysts' estimates of $1.88 billion, a decline of 7.2% compared with the prior year period, reflecting a core sales decline of 7.4% and favorable foreign exchange.
Newell Brands issued its fourth-quarter 2025 outlook, projecting adjusted earnings per share (EPS) in the range of 16 to 20 cents, which falls below Wall Street's consensus estimate of 27 cents. The company expects quarterly sales between $1.871 billion and $1.930 billion, also missing analysts' estimate of $1.959 billion.
The company lowered its full-year 2025 guidance, reflecting softer-than-expected demand trends. It now projects adjusted EPS between 56 and 60 cents, down from its prior forecast of 66 to 70 cents and below Wall Street's consensus estimate of 68 cents. Newell also reduced its full-year sales outlook to a range of $7.203 billion to $7.241 billion, compared with the previous estimate of $7.355 billion to $7.430 billion, missing the analyst consensus of $7.346 billion.
Newell shares fell 3.4% to trade at $3.2850 on Monday.
These analysts made changes to their price targets on Newell following earnings announcement.
Canaccord Genuity analyst Brian McNamara maintained Newell Brands with a Buy and lowered the price target from $9 to $7.
RBC Capital analyst Nik Modi maintained Newell Brands the stock with a Sector Perform and lowered the price target from $8 to $4.5.
JP Morgan analyst Andrea Teixeira maintained the stock with an Overweight rating and lowered the price target from $6 to $5.

CompaniesLIMA, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Peruvian oil firm Upland Oil and Gas said on Monday it would ask the South American nation's regulator to review its application to operate in Block 192, once Peru's largest Amazon oilfield, after it was disqualified days earlier.
State agency Perupetro disqualified Upland, which operates other reserves in the country's Amazon region, on grounds it did not demonstrate financial capacity, but Upland said it did have sufficient capital to invest and resume exploitation.
Sign up here.
The now dormant block has been the site of protests by local Indigenous communities demanding remediation for extensive damage to the surrounding forest, soil and waterways.
But Block 192, which is located near the border with Ecuador, is considered key to supplying the Talara refinery of state-oil firm Petroperu
(PETROBC1.LM), opens new tab, which is battling a debt crisis following its expensive modernization of the plant.
A Perupetro commission determined late last week that the financial solvency presented by Upland was "insufficient to prove its economic and financial capacity to assume 79% of the license contract for Block 192."
"Upland Oil and Gas reiterates that it has sufficient capital and financing to comply with the investment program indicated by Perupetro - despite considering it excessive," Upland responded in a statement.
It added that it was willing to provide a credit line to the embattled state oil firm.
Petroperu, which would be a minority partner in the block, has previously said it expects to produce up to 12,000 barrels per day of crude oil from the reserve.
"This important asset for the country has been paralyzed for more than five years, causing the Peruvian government to lose more than $1 billion in taxes and royalties," Upland said.
Once Peru's largest - and leakiest - field, Block 192's production was put on hold largely as a result of a number of oil spills permeating the tropical topsoil, native plants and streams that flow to the Amazon River.

Exabits to Tokenize Freyr's AI Data Center Infrastructure in Strategic RWA Partnership
San Francisco, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exabits, a U.S.–based AI infrastructure and fintech platform, and Freyr Technology AI Pte. Ltd. (Freyr), a Singapore-based provider of full-stack AI and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to design and implement a real-world asset (RWA) tokenization solution for Freyr’s expansive data center and GPU computing assets. This collaboration will enable Freyr to convert its cutting-edge AI infrastructure into digital securities (RWA tokens), unlocking new financing avenues and investor participation to fuel its growth.
Freyr recently signed a three-year, $1.4 billion contract to develop a network of AI-powered data centers across Southeast Asia. Through Exabits’ RWA platform, Freyr intends to explore potential models for the tokenization of its data center assets, with the aim of assessing future opportunities for broader investor participation and enhanced project liquidity.
“The collaboration aims to unlock new capital access while jointly optimizing data center performance through AI-driven management,” said Dr. Hoansoo Lee, co-founder and CEO of Exabits. “By leveraging real-world asset tokenization, we can unlock value from Freyr’s data centers and offer investors a stake in the AI revolution. ”
“Exabits brings a unique combination of high-performance computing know-how and blockchain-based financial innovation,” said Jack Li, CFO of Freyr Technology AI Pte. Ltd. “Through this collaboration, we can optimize our GPU operations with AI-driven software and simultaneously attract global investors to our projects. ”
The Exabits-Freyr partnership exemplifies the convergence of advanced AI infrastructure with next-generation fintech. Real-world asset tokenization has traditionally focused on assets like real estate; applying it to AI compute infrastructure is a novel frontier that could unlock a massive new market for investing in digital infrastructure. By transforming physical GPU capacity into blockchain-based assets, Freyr and Exabits aim to set a precedent for how critical technology infrastructure can be funded and scaled via the crypto ecosystem.

This Bitcoin Miner's Stock Is Soaring on a $9.7B AI Data Center Deal With Microsoft
Bill McColl has 25+ years of experience as a senior producer and writer for TV, radio, and digital media leading teams of anchors, reporters, and editors in creating news broadcasts, covering some of the most notable news stories of the time.
Published November 03, 2025
Shares of IREN have soared nearly 600% in 2025 so far.
IREN
Key Takeaways
Shares of IREN surged to a record high Monday after the Australian Bitcoin miner and data center company said it inked a $9.7 billion deal with Microsoft. IREN is also spending $5.8 billion to purchase Nvidia chips from Dell Technologies.
IREN (IREN) shares jumped to an all-time high Monday after the Australian Bitcoin miner and data center company said it inked a $9.7 billion deal with Microsoft (MSFT).
Shares of IREN were up over 8% near $66 in recent trading after reaching an intraday high of $75.73 earlier in the session. Shares of Microsoft were little changed.
The company said the deal would give Microsoft access to Nvidia (NVDA) chips in its data centers over five years. IREN also said it struck a deal to purchase related Nvidia chips and ancillary equipment from Dell Technologies (DELL) for about $5.8 billion.
IREN said it plans to pay for all the capital expenditures involved by “a combination of existing cash, customer prepayments, operating cashflows and additional financing initiatives.”
Why This Is Significant
IREN, like some other Bitcoin miners, has pivoted to focus more of its business on providing AI infrastructure to capitalize on the boom in demand for computing.
Co-founder and CEO Daniel Roberts said that the Microsoft agreement represents “another major step forward for IREN as we continue to expand large-scale GPU deployments across our 3GW secured power portfolio in North America.”
With Monday's gains, IREN shares are up close to 600% for 2025.

Costco Stock Has Had a Tough Year. Why This Analyst Made It a Top Pick.
Fintech giant Affirm Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:AFRM) is trading a modest 0.6% higher at $72.31 at last check, still stuck beneath familiar pressure at the $80 level. The shares' most recent pullback was captured by the the $70 level, which now happens to be the site of another historically bullish trendline for the shares.
Specifically, AFRM has pulled back to the 126-day trendline. Per Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, the stock is within 0.75 of the moving average's average true range (ATR) after remaining above it 80% of the time in the past two months. This signal has occurred seven other times in the past 10 years, after which the stock was higher one month later 50% of the time with an average 12.5% gain. A move of similar magnitude would put AFRM above $81 for the first time since September.
Puts have been swarming the equity. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), AFRM sports a 50-day put/call volume ratio of 1.38 that ranks in the 99th annual percentile. Plus, the stock's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of 1.08 sits in the 96th percentile of annual readings. Should this bearish sentiment begin to unwind, it could add another layer of support for the shares.
Though short interest is down 18.8% in the past two reporting periods, it still accounts for 5% of the stock's total available float. At the stock's average pace of trading, it would take short sellers almost two days to buy back these bearish bets.
Affirm is also one of the next fintech names to announce earnings, with the report due out after the close on Thursday, November, 6. AFRM has a split history of post-earnings performances, with four of the last eight reports producing impressive next-day pops, including a 10.6% lift in August. The stock averaged an earnings swing of 14.8% over the two years, while this quarter, analysts are expecting a larger-than-usual 19% move, regardless of direction.

American Airlines Stock Options Have Been Flying Off the Shelves
American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:AAL) climbed for most of October, particularly the couple days after its mixed third-quarter earnings report on Oct. 23. However, the stock quickly ran into pressure at the $14 level, which also capped a rally in early September. At last glance today, AAL was up 1.7% at $13.35, sporting a 22.9% year-to-date deficit.
Options traders targeted the airliner after its report, and it made an appearance on Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of S&P 400 stocks that attracted the highest options volume over the past two weeks. In the last 10 days, 825,527 calls and 616,866 puts exchanged hands. The November 14 call was the most popular contract during this time, followed by the March 12 put.
These options are reasonably priced at the moment. AAL's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 50% ranks in the low 18th percentile of its annual range. What's more, the stock tends to outperform these expectations, per its Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) of 94 out of 100.

BNB Price Prediction: BNB Pulls Back 26% from ATHs – How Low Can It Go?
Key Points:BNB Coin has shed 26% of its value since it hit an all-time high at $1,360.Daily transaction volumes on the BNB Chain have dropped sharply from their October peak.If this pullback continues, the next stop could be $950 and then $840 if negative momentum accelerates.
Binance Coin (BNB) has dropped by nearly 6% in the past 24 hours, and it is currently the worst-performing asset in the top 5, as the week started with a strong selling spree.
The weekend was relatively calm, following the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut rates and Powell’s unexpected comments regarding the central bank’s stance on a potential December cut.
The head of the institution said that it was uncertain if it would lower rates for a third time this year, possibly amid the latest decisions made by President Donald Trump to raise tariffs by 100% on Chinese goods.
If inflation increased in October, it is highly likely that the Fed will scrap that rate cut for good. This will mean big change of plans for analysts, as data from FedWatch shows that nearly 91% of economists surveyed considered a third 25bps cut a ‘done deal.’
BNB Books Second Highest Single-Day Liquidations of 2025
Long liquidations in the past 24 hours have already surpassed the $1 billion mark. Apart from the October 10 peak, yesterday was the second worst day for BNB bulls in the past 6 months as $18 million worth of long positions in the token were wiped out.
Market sentiment has soured as a result of these events. The Fear and Greed Index has plummeted from a 30-day high of 62 to 36 at the time of writing, emphasizing that fear is dominating investors’ minds.
Meanwhile, the spike that BNB’s daily transaction volumes experienced in October has almost fully faded. This emphasizes that interest in the network’s ecosystem may have waned as market sentiment fell off a cliff.
Market conditions were favorable two weeks ago, but the combination of Trump’s hostilities with China and Powell’s gloomy comments may have fully derailed altcoin season and could have set tokens like BNB on course for a strong correction.
Risk-Reward Analysis Favors a Long Position at This Price
The daily chart shows that BNB dropped below a key support area at $1,060, from which it had bounced strongly multiple times.
This bearish breakout could have marked the beginning of a deep correction, with a first target set $950. This could be an interesting price to scoop up BNB tokens if you still have a positive long-term outlook.
BNB/USD 4H Chart (Binance) – Source: TradingView
At that price, you could cash out a 43% if BNB climbs back to its all-time high shortly. Nonetheless, this is not a given, and it is still too early to tell if this could be a normal correction or the beginning of a bear market.
We already had a bear market and a bull market this year, so who knows if we’ll get three cycles in just 12 months.
Breaking below $950 would confirm that this latest rally has lost steam and that bulls have capitulated. In that case, we may see BNB dropping to $840 by year’s end, meaning a 16% downside risk.
Since the upside potential is much higher than this expected drawdown, the risk-reward ratio for a long position is good enough. Market conditions have deteriorated a bit, but not to the extent of justifying the start of a bear market – at least in my view.

Paradigm leads $7.6 million seed funding round for perp DEX aggregator Liquid
BitMine’s stock price retreated for seven consecutive days as the crypto market remained under pressure, with Bitcoin and top altcoins continuing to fall.
Summary
BitMine share price has formed a bearish pennant pattern.
The company continued accumulating Etherem and now holds 3.39 million coins.
Its total holdings are worth over $14.2 billion today.
BitMine Immersion (BNMR) stock dropped to $42.76, its lowest level since September 8, and 73% below its highest level this year.
This crash has mirrored that of other top Digital Assets Treasury companies, which have moved into a deep bear market, with companies like Strategy, Metaplanet, and Trump Media shedding billions of dollars in value.
BitMine stock price crashed after the company announced its latest purchases, which included 82,353 Ethereum (ETH) tokens, bringing its total holdings to 3.4 million. At the current prices, its holdings are worth about $12 billion, making it the biggest Ethereum treasury company in the industry.
BitMine also owns other assets in its portfolio, including 192 Bitcoin (BTC) worth over $20 million and a $62 million stake in Eightco Holdings. It also holds $389 million in cash in its balance sheet.
BitMine’s stock price dipped primarily due to Bitcoin’s and most cryptocurrencies’ ongoing performance. BTC has dropped by over 15% from its year-to-date high, while Ethereum has fallen by 26%.
On the positive side, the Ethereum price has formed a bullish flag pattern on the daily chart, suggesting a potential rebound that could boost its performance. In a statement, BitMine’s Tom Lee predicted that the ongoing ETH crash was healthy and that the token would rebound. He said:
“Most of the time, price leads fundamentals, but at times fundamentals drive ahead, but price ‘converges higher.’ Crypto suffered its largest ever liquidation event on October 10th, and open interest on ETH fell -45% in the past 8 weeks. This reset is healthy and sets the stage for price and fundamentals to eventually converge,”

The daily timeframe chart shows that the BMNR stock price has pulled back in the past few months. It has dropped from a high of $160 in July to $44 today.
The stock has moved below the 50-day and 25-day Exponential Moving Averages. It has also formed a bearish pennant pattern, which is characterized by a vertical line and a symmetrical triangle. It has already moved below the pennant’s lower boundary.
BitMine’s Relative Strength Index and Percentage Price Oscillator have continued falling. Therefore, the stock will likely have a bearish breakout, potentially to $30, the lowest point in July.

Crypto Funds Record $360 Million Outflows Following Powell Speech With Solana as Exception
Digital asset investment products experienced $360 million in outflows after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled uncertainty on future interest rate cuts.
Bitcoin ETFs were the hardest hit, losing $946 million, while Solana ETFs drew record inflows of $421 million.
Institutional demand for Solana reached $3.3 billion in 2025, highlighting strong investor interest in differentiated blockchain assets despite broader market caution.
Crypto investment products saw significant withdrawals last week, totaling $360 million, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that future interest rate cuts are not guaranteed. Investors interpreted Powell’s comments as cautious, creating headwinds for digital assets, particularly in the United States. Bitcoin-focused products suffered the most, with ETFs losing $946 million, reflecting sensitivity to monetary policy signals and a broader risk-off environment. Market participants also noted that investor sentiment was influenced by geopolitical developments and lingering uncertainty in traditional equities, amplifying outflows from riskier digital assets.
Powell’s Hawkish Comments Shake Investor Confidence
Powell’s remarks emphasized the need to avoid easing policy too quickly, warning that premature rate cuts could undermine inflation progress. These statements prompted US investors to pull $439 million from crypto products. Meanwhile, Germany and Switzerland recorded inflows of $32 million and $30.8 million, showing that regional confidence in digital assets remains intact despite global market uncertainty. The absence of major US economic data also contributed to cautious sentiment throughout the week, while rising treasury yields further weighed on investor appetite.
Solana Stands Out With Record Institutional Demand
Contrary to the overall trend, Solana attracted $421 million in inflows, marking one of the largest weekly gains for the blockchain. Institutional interest has been fueled by new US Solana ETFs, including Bitwise’s BSOL, which drew significant investment in its first trading week. Data from SoSoValue shows Solana ETFs saw four consecutive days of inflows totaling $200 million after launch, while Bitcoin and Ethereum products continued to experience outflows.
Grayscale’s GSOL, launched on NYSE Arca on October 29, offers direct SOL exposure with potential staking rewards, differentiating it from traditional Bitcoin products. Solana’s proof-of-stake design, transaction speed, and low fees have contributed to its growing institutional appeal. Year-to-date inflows into Solana ETFs have reached $3.3 billion, demonstrating strong confidence in the network’s technology and ecosystem growth, even amid broader market pressure.
The contrast between Bitcoin outflows and Solana inflows highlights a shift in investor focus toward platforms offering both yield potential and scalable infrastructure.

Zcash Price Prediction: Network Activity Hits Record High – Are Privacy Coins the New Trend?
The rally did not just capture traders’ attention but sent the network’s hashrate to an all-time high, making ZEC mining one of the most profitable coins as Bitcoin remains range-bound.
ZEC Mining Booms as Hashrate Hits Record Levels
Zcash’s PoW system, powered by the Equihash algorithm, is seeing unprecedented activity.
The network’s hashrate has surged to an all-time high of 12.53 GS/s. Unlike Bitcoin’s SHA256, Equihash makes Zcash mining more resource-intensive but now, significantly more rewarding.
Currently, Bitmain’s Antminer Z15 Pro ASIC generates roughly $39.56 in daily profits after electricity costs, making Equihash 43% more profitable than Bitcoin’s SHA256 algorithm.
Leading mining pools like ViaBTC, which controls 31.84% of the Zcash network hash power, have expanded their dominance, followed by F2pool, Antpool, and Binance.
Zcash problem in one tweet:
1 mining pool controls the whole network, ViaBTC has around 73% of $ZEC hashrate
What can go wrong:
> 51 percent attack becomes possible
> double spend money
> cancel or reorder transactions
> block any transactions they want
> change blocks and… pic.twitter.com/URe1lDMMck

ZEC Price Analysis: Key Levels to Watch
On the 4-hour chart, ZEC is trading around $390 after consolidating from its recent high.
Technical indicators suggest a potential breakout scenario.
Source: TradingView
The key resistance lies near $450, a decisive move above this could trigger a run toward the $600 target.
On the other hand, a pullback to the $320 support zone may provide a stronger base for the next rally.
The RSI remains neutral around 50, and the MACD is flattening, hinting that ZEC might be preparing for a major move in either direction.
As long as the asset maintains higher lows, the overall structure remains bullish in the medium term.
Privacy Coins Gain Momentum
The renewed interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies comes amid growing scrutiny over financial surveillance and data privacy.
With regulators tightening oversight on centralized exchanges and KYC requirements, privacy coins like Zcash are regaining relevance as users seek more control over their financial data.
As ZEC Dominates, $HYPER Presale Reaches All Time High
With Zcash breaking past barriers, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a BTC Layer 2 chain, is drawing significant attention with nearly $25.6 million raised in its presale.
Bitcoin Hyper seeks to build a full-fledged Layer-2 ecosystem directly on Bitcoin, one that supports memes, decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and other applications, without relying on alternative chains.
The HYPER token serves as the backbone of this ecosystem, functioning as gas, staking, governance, and utility token for decentralized applications.
Early investors are also being rewarded with staking returns of up to 46% APY during the presale phase.
Each $HYPER is currently priced at $0.013215 but hurry, because prices increase in less than 24 hours.
To take part, simply visit the official Bitcoin Hyper website and connect a supported wallet, like Best Wallet.
You can swap existing crypto or use a debit/credit card to complete your $HYPER purchase.

Fidelity Crypto Finally Allows Users to Send and Receive Bitcoin as UK ETP Gains Regulatory Approval
Fidelity Crypto now allows customers to withdraw Bitcoin and other crypto to external wallets, over 2 years after launching its retail platform.
This move gives users full self‑custody control while bridging traditional brokerage services and permissionless wallets.
Fidelity also took a major step toward mainstream crypto adoption by making its Physical Bitcoin ETP — launched in February 2022 and now listed on multiple European exchanges—available to UK retail clients for the first time after the FCA lifted the ban on retail crypto ETPs.
The firm’s Fidelity Physical Bitcoin ETP becomes the first crypto asset available to Fidelity’s advised platform clients from today, with additional products planned in the coming weeks.
The move comes after the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) relaxed its stance on cryptocurrency, lifting its ban on crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) for retail investors on 8 October.
The regulatory shift opens the door for established asset managers like Fidelity, BlackRock, and WisdomTree to offer crypto exposure to a broader audience through regulated channels.
In mid October, BlackRock listed its iShares Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Product (ETP), ticker IB1T, on the London Stock Exchange. The ETP is fully physically backed, with all Bitcoin held securely through Coinbase custody.
Processional-grade Bitcoin access
Dennis Pellerito, head of UK wholesale at Fidelity International, highlighted the significance for retail investors: “Until now, many retail investors have been limited to less secure, unregulated channels or indirect exposures such as proxy stocks. We are pleased to offer our institutional-grade ETP to retail investors for the first time.”
He emphasized that the ETP provides high-quality, professional-grade access to Bitcoin in a simple and secure format.
The Fidelity Physical Bitcoin ETP, originally launched in February 2022 and listed on the Deutsche Börse Xetra, SIX Swiss Exchange, and London Stock Exchange, tracks the price movement of Bitcoin and is designed to be both cost-effective and convenient.
Fidelity recently reduced the ongoing charges figure (OCF) to 0.25%, reflecting the firm’s focus on making institutional-grade products more accessible to retail clients.
Fidelity International said additional crypto assets may be added over time, subject to standard due diligence and client demand, and that it continues to explore ways to broaden access to crypto for consumers.
The firm still encouraged investors to conduct thorough research before entering the digital asset space, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or any other asset.

Balancer Exploited for $128 Million Across Ethereum Chains as Berachain Halts Network
In brief
Balancer, a multi-chain automated market maker, suffered a major exploit that has resulted in an estimated $128 million in losses.
Liquidity pools across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and other chains have been affected by the attack.
Berachain has halted its blockchain and is preparing for a hard fork to recover the lost funds.
Crypto automated market maker Balancer suffered a major exploit early Monday that resulted in an estimated $128 million worth of digital assets being stolen across multiple blockchains. As a result, emerging network Berachain has forcefully halted its blockchain and is attempting a hard fork to resolve the issue.
Balancer was offering its services across multiple chains—including Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base—and all of those that used Balancer V2 were vulnerable to the attack. On top of this, many protocols have used its codebase to build their own products, which also suffer from the same vulnerability.
The exploit likely came as the result of a “tiny precision/rounding error” found in Balancer V2 liquidity pools, on-chain analytics firm Nansen told Decrypt. The attacker pushed the pools towards that rounding error via multiple swaps within a single transaction. That led to the Balancer Pool Token, which represents ownership in Balancer liquidity pools, being undervalued by the liquidity pool.
“With the BPT price depressed, the attacker swapped into or minted BPT at that deflated value. They immediately converted those (underpriced) BPT back into underlying assets and then into ETH, pocketing the difference,” Nansen Research Analyst Nicolai Sondergaard told Decrypt.
Security experts Cyvers and PeckShield both estimate the total losses to be worth approximately $128 million. Nansen estimated the figure to be closer to $100 million, a figure that is dropping as token prices decline amid a broader market plunge. The stolen funds were then sent through several different addresses and swapped on decentralized exchanges.
Balancer has acknowledged the exploit and confirmed that the issue is isolated to Balancer V2 Composable Stable Pools specifically—meaning V3 pools remain unaffected. The project is now working with “leading security researchers” to create a full postmortem on the incident. Balancer’s BAL token has dropped more than 11% on the day to a $56 million market capitalization, according to CoinGecko.
“[It’s] likely the worst is behind at this point, as it does not seem like the exploiter is withdrawing any more funds,” Sondergaard said.
Today, around 7:48 AM UTC, an exploit affected Balancer V2 Composable Stable Pools.
Our team is working with leading security researchers to understand the issue and will share additional findings and a full post-mortem as soon as possible.

Bera stopped in its tracksAs a result of the attack, Berachain validators coordinated to halt the blockchain, with plans to perform an emergency hard fork to roll back the chain to its state before the exploit.
This is because Berachain’s native decentralized exchange is built upon the same vulnerable codebase as Balancer V2, Cyvers told Decrypt. That explains why Berachain was hit so hard, with an estimated $12.86 million in losses.
“Given that it affected non-native assets (not just BERA), the rollback/rollforward involves more than a simple hard fork,” the Berachain Foundation announcement said, explaining why the blockchain was halted in the meantime.
The Berachain validators have coordinated to purposefully halt the Berachain network as the core team performs an emergency hard fork to address Balancer V2 related exploits on the BEX.
This halt has been executed purposefully, and the network will be operational shortly upon…

This move is highly contentious among crypto-natives who believe in the immutability of blockchains. For many die-hard crypto believers, forking a chain and undoing transactions goes against everything that crypto stands for.
Ethereum famously rolled back its blockchain via a hard fork after the famous 2016 hack of The DAO, which led to $50 million in ETH being stolen—an amount that represented a significant amount of the total supply at the time. The controversial hard fork divided the community, with those against the split staying with the original chain in what is now called Ethereum Classic.
“I'm sure that some won't be happy about this, and we recognize that this could be seen as a contentious decision,” pseudonymous Berachain founder and CSO Smokey the Bera, wrote on X. “Users and LPs on the network are always our priority and when approximately $12 million of user funds are at risk from a malicious attacker, we attempted to coordinate the validator set to protect those users.”
“The goal is to recover funds ASAP and ensure that all LPs are safe,” Smokey added.
Berachain’s token has similarly dropped almost 10% on the day to a $211 million market cap, according to CoinGecko.

XRP Alert: Key Support Level on Cusp of Breaking Down

XRP, one of the leading altcoins, has approached a horizontal support level, according to the most recent data.
Horizontal support is a pivotal concept in technical analysis. It is a price level where a majority of traders are expected to buy a certain asset (whether it's a cryptocurrency or a stock). Essentially, it acts as the price floor.
HOT Stories
The price is currently approaching this critical floor (as shown by the red candlestick dipping into the gray box).
Failed price reversal XRP experienced a rather strong uptrend from around October 23, with the price of XRP/USDT rising from the low $2.30s to a peak near $2.70 around October 27.
Following the peak, the price entered a downtrend and then consolidated before another sharp fall at the end of the chart.
The previous lows on October 23 and the low of the first major dip appear to have touched or come close to this level, which is why it has been flagged as a significant support zone.
The final red candlestick on the chart is shown aggressively breaking into the top of this support zone. This, of course, shows strong selling pressure.
If the support somehow manages to hold, strong buying pressure in this gray zone will likely cause the price to "bounce" back up.
However, if the selling pressure is too strong, and the price breaks clearly below the bottom of the gray box (below ~$2.30), the support would be considered broken.
