Newell Brands (NWL) Misses Q3 Earnings and Revenue Estimates stocknewsapi
NWL
Newell Brands (NWL - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.17 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.18 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.16 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -5.56%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this consumer products company would post earnings of $0.24 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.24, delivering no surprise.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Newell Brands, which belongs to the Zacks Consumer Products - Staples industry, posted revenues of $1.81 billion for the quarter ended September 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.56%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.95 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Newell Brands shares have lost about 52.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 16%.

What's Next for Newell Brands?While Newell Brands has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Newell Brands was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.26 on $1.98 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.67 on $7.37 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Consumer Products - Staples is currently in the bottom 17% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

National Vision (EYE - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2025. The results are expected to be released on November 5.

This discount optical retailer and eye care provider is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.12 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

National Vision's revenues are expected to be $474.55 million, up 5.1% from the year-ago quarter.

Proto Labs (PRLB) Tops Q3 Earnings and Revenue Estimates stocknewsapi
PRLB
Proto Labs (PRLB - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.47 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.39 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.47 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +20.51%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this custom parts manufacturer would post earnings of $0.33 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.41, delivering a surprise of +24.24%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Proto Labs, which belongs to the Zacks Rubber - Plastics industry, posted revenues of $135.37 million for the quarter ended September 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.02%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $125.62 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Proto Labs shares have added about 35.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 16%.

One other stock from the same industry, Core Molding Technologies (CMT - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2025. The results are expected to be released on November 4.

This maker of fiber reinforced plastics is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.40 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +11.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Core Molding Technologies' revenues are expected to be $70.36 million, down 3.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 31, 2025) - Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV: PLUR) (OTCQB: PLCKF) ("Plurilock" or the "Company"), a global cybersecurity systems integrator, is pleased to announce that, further to its news release of October 17, 2025, the Company has closed its non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of $3,000,000 through the issuance of 3,000 debenture units (the "Units") at $1,000 per Unit with a strategic investor.

Each Debenture Unit comprised of (i) $1,000 principal amount of 10% unsecured convertible debentures of the Company, convertible at the option of the holder at a price of $0.23 until October 30, 2028 (the "Debentures"), and (ii) 4,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") exercisable at a price of $0.25 until October 30, 2028, provided that if, any time following the date of issuance, the common shares of the Company (the "Shares") are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ (each, a "US Stock Exchange"), or the Company completes an indirect listing such that the Shares are exchanged for common shares of a public company trading on a US Stock Exchange, in which the holder may, at the Company's election, be given notice, by way of a news release, that the Warrants will expire 180 days following the date of such listing.

The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable in arrears every three months from the date of issue, in cash or Shares, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Company based on the 10-day VWAP at the time of the interest payment, subject to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

The Debentures cannot be converted into Shares and the Warrants cannot be exercised into Shares if it would result in the holder having a beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

The proceeds from the Offering will be used to accelerate Plurilock's growth initiatives, expand its Critical Services business, and strengthen working capital.

The Debenture Units are subject to final TSXV approval. All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a four-month and one-day statutory hold period from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This news release will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Company's Amended Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company has granted a total of 100,000 options to an officer of the Company at an exercise price of $0.23 per share for a period of five years, with 25% to vest one year from the grant date and 25% every 12 months thereafter. The Company has also granted a total of 1,750,000 restricted share units to certain directors, officers and consultants for a three-year term, with 1/3 to vest one year from the grant date and 1/3 every 12 months thereafter.

The strip ratio increased to 4.48, a 64.7% rise from 2.72 in the June 2025 quarter. This increase reflects a strategic focus on waste removal to facilitate access to deeper ore zones, which are expected to enhance both grade quality and ore availability in future periods.
Ore Processed: A total of 501,300 tonnes of ore were processed during the quarter, representing an 8.5% decrease from 547,749 tonnes in the June 2025 quarter. The reduced throughput was primarily due to limited ore availability, stemming from chute blockages, ore clogging caused by heavy rainfall, and electrical issues affecting instrumentation. Additional downtime for maintenance and crusher teeth replacement also contributed to the lower processing volumes.
Head Grade: The average head grade for the quarter was 0.69 g/t, down 10.2% (or 0.07 g/t) from 0.76 g/t in the previous quarter. This decline reflects the processing of an average-grade ore blend during the period. Despite the reduction, the grade remains aligned with the mine plan and grade control parameters.Recovery rate: Recovery improved to 88.4%, up 1.1% from 87.3% in the June quarter. This improvement was driven by enhanced control of high-grade rejects, which averaged 0.075 g/t compared to 0.092 g/t in the prior quarter. The improvement also reflects a lower proportion of transitional ore processed during the period.Gold Production: Gold production for the September 2025 quarter declined by 1,962 ounces to 9,774 ounces compared to the June quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower mill throughput and a reduction in feed grade, which averaged 0.69 g/t versus 0.76 g/t in the June quarter. Environmental and Safety Performance

Safety performance remained strong, with no lost time injuries (LTIs) recorded during the quarter.No reportable environmental incidents or breaches recorded.Environmental monitoring programs continue for noise management, water and air quality Community and Social Responsibility
Robex continued to support local communities at the Nampala Mine during Q3 2025, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable development and community engagement. This included:

Contribution of ~C$353k to the local mining development fund.Support for education and training, including vocational programs for 32 young Malians and distribution of school supplies to students in nearby villages.Local partnerships and employment initiatives, including market garden purchases from women’s associations and engagement of community service providers through GIE Balimaya.Infrastructure improvements, including rehabilitation of the 36km N’Tjikouna-Nampala-Finkolo-Tiola road.Financial support for cultural, religious, and community events, including festivals and artistic biennials.Skills development and hydraulic training for 12 community members, plus provision of pump repair kits to local town halls.Extensive local procurement, supporting regional suppliers and strengthening economic opportunities in the Sikasso region. Exploration and Development
During the quarter, Robex made significant progress across its West African exploration portfolio, with key developments including:

Appointments

Exploration Leadership Appointments: A new Chief Exploration Officer, Mr. Justin Rivers commenced during the quarter, bringing extensive leadership and exploration expertise to the executive team. A Chief Exploration Geologist for Kiniero was also appointed, further strengthening in-country technical leadership.Structural Geology Specialist Engaged: consultant engaged to undertake comprehensive desktop and field-based structural mapping and interpretation of the Kiniero Gold Project in Guinea. The study aims to improve ore body understanding, specifically the structural controls on gold mineralisation, to guide planned exploration drilling and enhance deposit (Resource) Modelling. Kiniero Gold Project, Guinea

Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling Program – Sabali South Deposit: A three-month RC drilling program commenced targeting depth extensions and infill opportunities in the central and northern portions of the Sabali South Deposit. The program comprises approximately 115 RC holes for ~20,000 metres, aiming to delineate an extensional indicated/inferred resource to support follow-up infill and conversion drilling activities planned for 2026.Diamond drilling program – SGA and NEGD Deposits: Final planning was completed for a diamond drilling campaign schedule to commence in October. The program will consist of 8 diamond holes for ~3,151 metres, targeting improve structural and lithological understanding at depth. The key objective is to define a potential maiden fresh rock inferred resource to support a conceptual underground mine planning study. Nampala Near-Mine Exploration, Mali

Near-mine exploration activities continued around the Nampala plant to evaluate sustaining, replacement and growth options, aiming to extend the mine’s life and enhance operational flexibility. CORPORATE

Sprott Facility

Robex maintains a US$130 million (C$177.9 million) senior secured facility with Sprott Resource Lending (US Manager) Corp. (“Sprott”) as agent and lead arranger, supporting construction of the Kiniero Gold Project and working capital requirements.

Adagene Inc.

Phase 2 clinical trial underway with first patient dosed in October to support a clear path to Phase 3 based on previous alignment with FDA

Patients randomized to either 10 or 20 mg/kg of muzastotug, in combination with KEYTRUDA with up to 30 patients per arm

Company anticipates trial completion in early 2027, and potential updates in 2026

Additional updates from the ongoing Phase 1b/2 trial with muzastotug, previously reported at ASCO 2025, are anticipated in the coming months

SAN DIEGO and SUZHOU, China, Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adagene Inc. (“Adagene”) (Nasdaq: ADAG), a company transforming the discovery and development of novel antibody-based therapies, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in its randomized, open label Phase 2 study of muzastotug in combination with Merck’s (known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada) anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC) with no liver metastases. The Phase 2 primary endpoint is overall response rate (ORR).

“We are pleased that the randomized Phase 2 trial is now underway in order to confirm the preferred dose for Phase 3 in compliance with Project Optimus,” stated Peter Luo, Ph.D., CEO and President of R&D at Adagene. “To date, muzastotug has been safely dosed at 20 mg/kg Q6W, with less than 20% Grade 3 adverse events and no discontinuations, supporting its position as the potential best in class Treg depleting anti-CTLA-4 agent with improved therapeutic window. Our approach was further highlighted by the recent 2025 Nobel Prize in physiology awarded for the seminal discovery of regulatory T cells function, consistent with the MOA of muzastotug, leveraging CTLA-4 mediated intratumoral regulatory T cell depletion strategy to treat cancer. We look forward to sharing additional data from the ongoing Phase 1b/2 to provide further evidence that muzastotug’s improved safety profile allows for higher dosing and potentially better efficacy, which has precluded the use of first-generation anti-CTLA-4 therapies in this setting.”

As previously announced in July 2025, both the Phase 2 and Phase 3 trial designs and endpoints were confirmed following a meeting with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA):

Patient Population: Future trials will enroll late-line patients with MSS CRC without liver metastases, including those with peritoneal metastasis/involvement.Dose and Regimen: Phase 2 dose optimization cohort will randomize patients to either 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg of muzastotug in combination with pembrolizumab, using an induction-maintenance regimen, without cycle limitations of muzastotug.Phase 2 Trial Design: Up to 30 patients will be enrolled in each arm of the Phase 2 study, without a requirement for a muzastotug monotherapy arm.Phase 3 Trial Design: The FDA agreed with Adagene’s proposed standard-of-care (SOC) control arm for the Phase 3 clinical trial and confirmed that a muzastotug monotherapy arm was also not required.Phase 2 Endpoints: The primary endpoint of the Phase 2 trial will be overall response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints include duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).Phase 3 Endpoints: The primary endpoint of the Phase 3 trial will be OS. Secondary endpoints will include PFS, DOR and ORR. Phase 1b/2 Trial

As reported at ASCO in June 2025, in the Phase 1b/2 trial (NCT05405595), a total of 67 MSS CRC patients with no liver metastases including those with peritoneal involvement were treated with muzastotug at a dose of either 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg, in combination with pembrolizumab: 200 mg, Q3W. The 10 mg/kg dose was administered once every three weeks or once every six weeks. The 20 mg/kg dose was administered once as a loading dose, followed by 10 mg/kg every three weeks, or 20 mg/kg as a consistent dose every six weeks.

In the dose expansion phase of the study, patients in the 10 mg/kg Q3W cohort demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 17% and patients in the 20 mg/kg cohorts demonstrated a confirmed ORR of 29%. Median duration of response (DoR) in the 10 mg/kg cohorts was 6.2 months, while the mDoR was not yet reached in the 20 mg/kg cohorts and all the responses were ongoing. Median overall survival (OS) for the 10 mg/kg cohorts was 19.4 months, comparing favorably with current treatments and historical benchmarks. Median OS for the 20 mg/kg cohorts has not yet been reached.

Both 20 mg/kg cohorts, with either a 20 mg/kg loading dose followed by 10 mg/kg Q3W, or 20 mg/kg as a consistent dose Q6W, achieved equivalent ORRs at 29%, while adverse events were less severe and seen less frequently with Q6W dosing compared to a 20mg/kg loading dose followed by 10mg/kg Q3W.

The ASCO 2025 poster and presentation can be found on the company’s website. The company anticipates providing additional updates on the Phase 1b/2 study in the coming months.

Dupixent® (dupilumab) Wins Prestigious 2025 Prix Galien USA Best Biotechnology Product Award stocknewsapi
REGN
Award recognizes the groundbreaking science of Dupixent and its transformational impact on multiple rare and common allergic and atopic conditions 

First and only therapy to specifically target the IL-4 and IL-13 signaling pathway, a key driver of type 2 inflammation that contributes to multiple conditions

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced that Dupixent® (dupilumab) has been recognized as the “Best Biotechnology Product” of 2025 by the Galien Foundation, which acknowledges extraordinary scientific innovations that improve the human condition. The Prix Galien USA Award was presented in a ceremony in New York City last night and is the second “Best Biotechnology Product” award for Regeneron following the 2022 recognition of Inmazeb® (atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn).

“We are honored that the Galien Foundation has recognized Dupixent, which was invented by Regeneron through decades of tireless work by our talented scientists,” said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., Board co-Chair, President and Chief Scientific Officer at Regeneron, and a principal inventor of Dupixent. “Dupixent is a true ‘first-in-class’ breakthrough that can treat multiple serious diseases, and has helped re-define our understanding of allergic and atopic diseases by showing that these often disparate-appearing conditions can share the same driving mechanism of type 2 inflammation. Today, more than 1 million patients around the world are currently being treated with Dupixent, and we are committed to helping even more with eight approved indications globally and additional indications in clinical development.”

Dupixent was conceived under a unifying scientific hypothesis that predicted many allergic and atopic diseases are driven by excess interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13). Dupixent Phase 3 trials in eight different atopic and allergic diseases have since demonstrated significant clinical benefits in support of this hypothesis. In 2017, Dupixent became the first dual blocker of IL-4 and IL-13 approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and remains the only FDA-approved medicine that blocks both of these factors.

Dupixent is approved for eight indications globally – ranging from rare to common conditions. These include the 2024 FDA approval of Dupixent as an add-on maintenance treatment for adults with inadequately controlled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and an eosinophilic phenotype – the first biologic medicine approved in the U.S. for these patients. Dupixent is also approved for specific patients (see U.S. Indications below for details) with atopic dermatitis, asthma, eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, chronic spontaneous urticaria, bullous pemphigoid and prurigo nodularis.

The most common side effects of Dupixent are as follows: injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, eye problems (including eye and eyelid inflammation, redness, swelling, itching, eye infection, dry eye, and blurred vision), herpes virus infections, common cold symptoms (nasopharyngitis), cold sores in your mouth or on your lips, high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia), dizziness, muscle pain, diarrhea, pain in the throat (oropharyngeal pain), gastritis, joint pain (arthralgia), trouble sleeping (insomnia), toothache, parasitic (helminth) infections, viral infection, back pain, inflammation inside the nose (rhinitis), headache, and urinary tract infection.

About Dupixent
Dupixent, which was invented using Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are two of the key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases.

Dupixent has received regulatory approvals in more than 60 countries in one or more indications including certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bullous pemphigoid (BP) in different age populations. More than 1,000,000 patients are being treated with Dupixent globally.1

Dupilumab Development Program 
Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation. 

In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including chronic pruritus of unknown origin and lichen simplex chronicus. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.

U.S. INDICATIONS 
DUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used:

to treat adults and children 6 months of age and older with moderate-to-severe eczema (atopic dermatitis or AD) that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical), or who cannot use topical therapies. DUPIXENT can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with AD under 6 months of age.with other asthma medicines for the maintenance treatment of moderate-to-severe eosinophilic or oral steroid dependent asthma in adults and children 6 years of age and older whose asthma is not controlled with their current asthma medicines. DUPIXENT helps prevent severe asthma attacks (exacerbations) and can improve your breathing. DUPIXENT may also help reduce the amount of oral corticosteroids you need while preventing severe asthma attacks and improving your breathing. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with asthma under 6 years of age.with other medicines for the maintenance treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in adults and children 12 years of age and older whose disease is not controlled.

BioStem Technologies Reports Positive Top-Line Clinical Results Demonstrating Superior Outcomes with BioRetain® Allograft in Diabetic Foot Ulcers stocknewsapi
BSEM
POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioStem Technologies, Inc. (“BioStem” or the “Company”) (OTC: BSEM), a leading MedTech company focused on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of placental-derived products for advanced wound care, today announced top-line results of the Company’s clinical trial evaluating BioRetain® - Processed Amnion Chorion (BR-AC) versus standard of care for patients with non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), as published in the International Journal of Tissue Repair.

Top-Line Results

BR-AC achieved superior clinical outcomes in this patient population.The probability of healing in the BR-AC arm was 53% while the probability of healing in the standard of care arm was 31%, utilizing complete closure instead of initial incidence of closure as the endpoint. “This trial was conducted with a degree of rigor not typically seen in the published literature,” explained Dr. Bert Slade, Chairman of BioStem’s Medical Advisory Board. “The patient selection criteria ensured that only those patients with the hardest-to-heal wounds were enrolled, and the definition of closure followed the 2006 FDA guidance for cutaneous ulcers, the most rigorous standards established. Importantly, utilizing complete closure instead of initial incidence of closure, the BR-AC arm was almost twice as likely to achieve lasting wound closure than patients treated with standard of care alone, providing strong evidence of treatment benefit.”

BR-AC allografts are used as a protective covering to optimize the wound treatment environment. The BR-AC-DFU-101 study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial that was initiated in Q4 2024 at 11 sites across the U.S. to evaluate at least 60 patients with non-healing DFUs. The primary objective was to determine whether DFUs treated with standard of care plus BR-AC achieved a higher probability of complete wound closure over a 12-week period when compared to standard of care alone. BioStem completed enrollment of 71 patients with Wagner 1 or 2 DFUs.

The BR-AC-DFU trial included a 2-week run-in period to evaluate how a patient responded to standard of care alone. Significantly, any patient that experienced a greater than 30% reduction in wound size after this time was not permitted to randomize into the study. This ensured that only patients with “hard-to-heal wounds” were enrolled in the trial, reflecting a patient population with a DFU requiring treatment beyond the standard of care. Following initial closure, wounds were required to remain closed for 4 weeks to qualify as achieving lasting closure.

“We are very pleased that this study has demonstrated the effectiveness of BioRetain-processed placental allografts in achieving wound closure in patients with hard-to-heal wounds,” said Jason Matuszewski, CEO and Chairman of the Board of BioStem Technologies. “Previously reported comparisons of BioRetain versus competitive technologies have demonstrated its superiority in retaining the natural structural and molecular composition of the native tissue. This study reinforces the clinical performance of our technology. We continue to enroll patients in a study targeting venous leg ulcers using BR-AC and look forward to reporting those results. We believe the results of these studies will further substantiate the BioRetain allograft platform and drive expanded physician adoption and commercial traction.”

Future Publications:
The primary outcome of the study published in this report was to determine whether DFUs treated with standard care plus BR-AC resulted in a higher probability of achieving complete wound closure compared to standard care alone over a 12-week period.

Future publications will address secondary outcome measures, including, but not limited to:

Comparing treatment group differences in proportions of wounds achieving complete wound closure based on time in days.Comparing treatment group differences in wound area and volume.Assessing total number of applications of BR-AC required to achieve complete wound closure.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers:
Diabetic foot ulcers are a serious and chronic condition affecting millions of individuals within the diabetic population. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), a leading authority on foot and ankle health, approximately 15% of people with diabetes will develop foot ulcers. Alarmingly, 6% of these individuals may require hospitalization due to infections or other complications related to their ulcers. The risks for diabetic patients are substantial, as DFUs are the leading cause of lower extremity amputations in the U.S. Studies indicate that between 14% and 24% of individuals with diabetes who develop foot ulcers will ultimately need an amputation.

Recent data analysis from Global Data Plc., a prominent global data provider, revealed that 2.2 million patients received treatment for DFUs in 2023, with numbers projected to rise in the coming years. This growth is closely linked to the aging population, as advancing age is associated with a higher prevalence of diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and impaired wound healing; all key risk factors for DFUs. The economic burden of these ulcers on healthcare systems is significant, with annual treatment costs estimated between $9 billion and $13 billion in the U.S. alone. As the population continues to age, this financial strain is expected to intensify, underscoring the need for more effective and accessible treatment options.

Marks & Spencer looks past cyber hiccup as investors eye midterm recovery stocknewsapi
MAKSY
Marks and Spencer Group PLC (LSE:MKS) reports half-year results are scheduled for November 5, but UBS is not expecting fireworks.

The Swiss bank reckons the figures will be messy after the summer cyber incident, but should mark a turning point rather than a setback for the retailer’s longer-term story.

The attack disrupted online clothing operations for about three months and dented food availability for around one, yet UBS believes the damage is limited.

“We think around one month of lower availability in food and around three months of disruption in Clothing Online may have caused a minor dent in customer perception or loyalty but not structural damage,” it said.

All operations were back to normal by mid-August, and UBS expects the market to look through the noise in the results to recent trading trends.

Before the cyberattack, Marks & Spencer was leading the UK market in both food and fashion share gains. The latest data from UBS’s consumer survey shows the retailer still ranking best in class on quality perception and customer satisfaction alongside Tesco.

UBS expects profit before tax of about £612 million for the year to March, below the £654 million consensus estimate, reflecting the one-off cyber costs.

Even so, it kept its buy rating and 435p price target, arguing that Marks & Spencer offers “one of the best risk/reward” profiles in UK retail at 10 times expected 2027 earnings.

The broker does not expect upgrades from these results but believes investors will start to focus on the next phase of the turnaround.

With low expectations, improving food sales and a strong store rotation strategy, UBS sees the shares as well placed once the short-term disruption fades.

BioStem Technologies Reports Positive Top-Line Clinical Results Demonstrating Superior Outcomes with BioRetain® Allograft in Diabetic Foot Ulcers stocknewsapi
BSEM
Key Takeaways

Superior healing with BioRetain® (BR-AC) — In the randomized trial, the probability of complete, lasting closure was 53% with BR-AC vs 31% with standard care, demonstrating a clear clinical benefit.
Rigorous design focused on hard-to-heal DFUs — Multicenter RCT (11 U.S. sites) used a 2-week run-in; patients improving >30% on standard care were excluded. Closure had to remain sealed for 4 weeks to count as “lasting.”
Clinical momentum and market need — BioStem is also enrolling a venous leg ulcer study; DFUs affect millions and drive $9–$13B in annual U.S. costs, underscoring adoption potential.

Randomized controlled trial results published in the International Journal of Tissue Repair demonstrate BioRetain® allografts significantly improve probability of achieving lasting wound closure versus standard of care

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., October 31, 2025 – PRISM MediaWire (Press Release Service – Press Release Distribution) – BioStem Technologies, Inc. (“BioStem” or the “Company”) (OTC: BSEM), a leading MedTech company focused on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of placental-derived products for advanced wound care, today announced top-line results of the Company’s clinical trial evaluating BioRetain® – Processed Amnion Chorion (BR-AC) versus standard of care for patients with non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), as published in the International Journal of Tissue Repair.

Top-Line Results   

 BR-AC achieved superior clinical outcomes in this patient population.
The probability of healing in the BR-AC arm was 53% while the probability of healing in the standard of care arm was 31%, utilizing complete closure instead of initial incidence of closure as the endpoint.

“This trial was conducted with a degree of rigor not typically seen in the published literature,” explained Dr. Bert Slade, Chairman of BioStem’s Medical Advisory Board. “The patient selection criteria ensured that only those patients with the hardest-to-heal wounds were enrolled, and the definition of closure followed the 2006 FDA guidance for cutaneous ulcers, the most rigorous standards established.

We believe the results of these studies will further substantiate the BioRetain allograft platform and drive expanded physician adoption and commercial traction.”

Jason Matuszewski, CEO and Chairman of the Board of BioStem Technologies
Future Publications:
The primary outcome of the study reported in this paper was to determine whether DFUs treated with standard care plus BR-AC had a higher probability of achieving complete wound closure than those treated with standard care alone over a 12-week period.

Future publications will address secondary outcome measures, including, but not limited to:

Comparing treatment group differences in proportions of wounds achieving complete wound closure based on time in days.
Comparing treatment group differences in wound area and volume.
Assessing the total number of applications of BR-AC required to achieve complete wound closure.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers:
Diabetic foot ulcers are a serious and chronic condition affecting millions of individuals within the diabetic population. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), a leading authority on foot and ankle health, approximately 15% of people with diabetes will develop foot ulcers. Alarmingly, 6% of these individuals may require hospitalization due to infections or other complications related to their ulcers. The risks for diabetic patients are substantial, as DFUs are the leading cause of lower extremity amputations in the U.S. Studies indicate that between 14% and 24% of individuals with diabetes who develop foot ulcers will ultimately need an amputation.

Recent data analysis from Global Data Plc., a prominent global data provider, revealed that 2.2 million patients received treatment for DFUs in 2023, with numbers projected to rise in the coming years. This growth is closely linked to the aging population, as advancing age is associated with a higher prevalence of diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and impaired wound healing; all key risk factors for DFUs. The economic burden of these ulcers on healthcare systems is significant, with annual treatment costs estimated between $9 billion and $13 billion in the U.S. alone. As the population continues to age, this financial strain is expected to intensify, underscoring the need for more effective and accessible treatment options.

Ample supply, subdued demand to curb oil prices despite geopolitical risks stocknewsapi

SummaryBrent projected to average $67.99 per barrel in 2025WTI to average $64.83 per barrel in 2025For table of crude price forecasts, clickOct 31 (Reuters) - Analysts are holding their oil price forecasts largely unchanged as rising OPEC+ output targets and lacklustre demand offset geopolitical risks to supply, a Reuters poll showed on Friday.

A survey of 36 economists and analysts conducted in October forecasts Brent crude will average $67.99 per barrel in 2025, about 38 cents above last month's estimate. West Texas Intermediate is expected to average $64.83 in 2025, slightly above September's estimate of $64.39.

Brent and WTI prices have averaged $69.27 and $65.92 so far this year.

Analysts' 2025 Brent and WTI forescasts"Oil prices in 2025 are being shaped by a delicate balance of supply growth, modest demand, and geopolitical uncertainty," said UniCredit analyst Tobias Keller.

"On the supply side, rising output from OPEC+ and non-OPEC producers has kept the market well-supplied, while demand growth, though positive, is slowing, particularly in OECD economies."

Analysts expect that the oil market will see a surplus in 2026, with estimates ranging anywhere from 0.19 to 3 million barrels per day (bpd). Fears of a supply glut, along with economic concerns tied to U.S.-China trade relations, sent oil prices to a five-month low on Oct 20.

Opec demand forecastOPEC+ since April has raised output targets by more than 2.7 million bpd, around 2.5% of global supply and just under half the 5.85 million bpd in cuts the group had previously agreed to.

The group is leaning towards making another modest increase in oil output for December, Reuters has reported, following a 137,000 bpd hike for November.

"While the OPEC+ supply response continues to remain flexible depending on market conditions, the current course of action seems to be driven by a desire to gain market share rather than support oil prices at any specific level," DBS analyst Suvro Sarkar said.

On the geopolitical front, the U.S. this month hit two of Russia's largest oil companies with sanctions, while markets are also monitoring a fragile ceasefire in Gaza.

"The Gaza ceasefire has eased regional risk premiums, while new sanctions on Russian oil and infrastructure attacks have introduced fresh supply concerns," said Keller.

Analysts expect global oil demand growth to range between 0.65 to 2 million bpd this year, driven largely by growth in China.

“The best way to think about this is that today, we are really in the beginning of a ten-year build out of a new computing platform, from the old approach to the new,” he replied.

RGRD LLP Announces a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against Avantor, Inc. (AVTR), Encourages Investors and Potential Witnesses to Contact Firm stocknewsapi
AVTR
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that the Avantor class action lawsuit – captioned Building Trades Pension Fund of Western Pennsylvania v. Avantor, Inc., No. 25-cv-06187 (E.D. Pa.) – seeks to represent purchasers or acquirers of Avantor, Inc. (NYSE: AVTR) common stock and charges Avantor and certain of Avantor’s top current and former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Avantor class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:

https://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases-avantor-inc-class-action-lawsuit-avtr.html

You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected]. Lead plaintiff motions for the Avantor class action lawsuit must be filed with the court no later than December 29, 2025.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Avantor engages in the provision of mission-critical products and services to customers in the biopharma, healthcare, education and government, advanced technologies, and applied materials industries.

The Avantor class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the class period failed to disclose that Avantor’s competitive positioning was weaker than defendants had publicly represented and that Avantor was experiencing negative effects from increased competition.

The Avantor class action lawsuit further alleges that on April 25, 2025, Avantor announced its first quarter 2025 financial results, reporting weak organic sales in Laboratory Solutions and cut its guidance for 2025. Specifically, the company’s CFO, defendant R. Brent Jones, admitted that Avantor had “felt the impact of increased competitive intensity,” resulting in “reduced volumes at a handful of customers,” the complaint alleges. Avantor further announced, allegedly, that defendant Michael Stubblefield would be stepping down from his roles as President and Chief Executive Officer upon the appointment of a successor. On this news, the price of Avantor shares fell by more than 16%, the complaint alleges.

The Avantor investor class action further alleges that August 1, 2025, Avantor reported disappointing second quarter 2025 financial results and reduced the company’s full-year guidance, including its guidance for growth in Laboratory Solutions. CFO Jones attributed the weakening outlook for Avantor’s Laboratory Solutions business to “increased competitive intensity,” admitted that Avantor did not expect the competitive environment to “chang[e] materially” in the remainder of 2025, and projected that the weak Laboratory Solutions performance would persist, the complaint alleges. On this news, the price of Avantor shares fell by more than 15%, the complaint alleges.

Finally, the Avantor shareholder lawsuit alleges that on October 29, 2025, Avantor reported weak financial results for the third quarter of 2025, including 5% decreases in organic revenue growth both overall and in Avantor’s Laboratory Solutions business – revealing that defendants’ recent assurances of “careful” third quarter projections of -4% to -2% growth were false. On this news, the price of Avantor shares fell by more than 23%, the complaint alleges.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Avantor common stock during the class period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Avantor class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Avantor class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Avantor class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Avantor class action lawsuit.

Oil News: WTI Nears Key Fibonacci Support Zone as Oil Demand Outlook Weakens stocknewsapi
BNO DBO GUSH IEO OIH OIL PXJ UCO USO XOP
Dollar Strength and China Data Pressure Prices
A firming U.S. dollar continued to weigh on commodity markets, limiting appetite for dollar-denominated assets like crude. The greenback gained traction after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell pushed back on expectations for a December rate cut.

Meanwhile, sentiment took another hit after official data confirmed that China’s factory activity contracted for a seventh consecutive month in October, reinforcing concerns about tepid demand from the world’s second-largest oil consumer.

Supply Growth Outpaces Demand
The market is grappling with a clear oversupply narrative. According to analysts, October’s roughly 3% drop in both Brent and WTI reflects a structural imbalance as global production increases outpace demand growth. Recent reports show OPEC and key non-OPEC producers have added more than 2.7 million barrels per day to the market, representing about 2.5% of global supply.

Top exporter Saudi Arabia posted crude exports of 6.407 million bpd in August—the highest level in six months—with volumes projected to rise further. In the U.S., the Energy Information Administration reported record production of 13.6 million bpd last week, underscoring persistent supply pressure.

OPEC+ Output Decisions Loom Ahead of Sunday Meeting
Market attention is now focused on the upcoming OPEC+ meeting, with sources indicating the group is leaning toward a modest output boost in December. This stance contrasts with ongoing Western sanctions on Russian exports, which have yet to significantly impact flows to top buyers China and India.

Although U.S. President Donald Trump suggested China may begin large-scale purchases of American oil and gas, analysts remain cautious. Barclays noted that Alaska, the likely source of any energy exports under the potential deal, accounts for just 3% of total U.S. crude production, minimizing its market impact.

Newell Brands Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results stocknewsapi
NWL
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Newell Brands (NASDAQ: NWL) today announced its third quarter 2025 financial results.

Chris Peterson, Newell Brands President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our turnaround continues to advance, even as Newell and the broader industry navigated significant trade disruptions in the third quarter. Our team responded swiftly with strategic measures including sourcing changes, pricing actions, and productivity initiatives to mitigate the impact. Sales were affected by reduced retail inventory levels, softness in international markets—particularly in Brazil—and moderated demand following tariff driven pricing actions. We believe the retailer inventory adjustment was a one-time event, as tariff-related inventory values were absorbed and retailer delivery preferences shifted away from direct import. Looking ahead, we expect our international business to return to growth in the fourth quarter. Competitive pricing actions are gaining traction, especially in key categories like Writing, where our strong domestic manufacturing base gives us a distinct advantage. We are confident that our decisive actions are paving the way for the company to return to sustainable top-line growth in the future."

Mark Erceg, Newell Brands Chief Financial Officer, said, "Newell Brands' third quarter results included a number of positives despite a challenging top line. First, gross margin would have expanded by 55 basis points in the third quarter if not for the temporary impact of one-time China tariffs. Second, we continued to invest behind innovation and brand building with advertising and promotion at the highest rate, as a percentage of sales, in nearly 10 years. Third, normalized overheads as a percentage of sales declined for the first time in three years, dropping by approximately 120 basis points and, looking forward, we expect this trend to continue as we continue to focus on improving the efficiency of our operating model and deploy leading edge AI tools across the organization."

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

Net sales were $1.8 billion, a decline of 7.2% compared with the prior year period. Core sales declined 7.4% compared with the prior year period.

Gross margin decreased to 34.1% compared with 34.9% in the prior year period. Normalized gross margin decreased to 34.5% compared with 35.4% in the prior year period.

Operating margin improved to 6.6% compared with negative 6.2% in the prior year period. Normalized operating margin decreased to 8.9% compared with 9.5% in the prior year period.

Net income was $21 million compared with net loss of $198 million in the prior year period. Normalized net income was $70 million compared with $69 million in the prior year period.

Diluted EPS was $0.05 compared with diluted loss per share of $0.48 in the prior year period. Normalized diluted EPS was $0.17 compared with $0.16 in the prior year period.

Normalized EBITDA was $225 million compared with $250 million in the prior year period.

Updated full year 2025 outlook.

Third Quarter 2025 Operating Results

Net sales were $1.8 billion, a decline of 7.2% compared with the prior year period, reflecting a core sales decline of 7.4% and favorable foreign exchange.

Gross margin was 34.1% compared with 34.9% in the prior year period, with the positive impact from gross productivity and pricing more than offset by headwinds from tariff costs, volume declines and inflation. Gross margin would have expanded by 55 basis points in the third quarter if not for the temporary $24 million impact of one-time China tariffs. Normalized gross margin was 34.5% compared with 35.4% in the prior year period.

Operating income was $119 million compared with operating loss of $121 million in the prior year period. Operating margin was 6.6% compared with negative 6.2% in the prior year period. The prior year period included a non-cash impairment charge of $260 million related to acquired intangible assets. The improvement in the current period also reflects savings from restructuring actions and lower restructuring and restructuring-related charges in the current quarter, partially offset by higher advertising and promotion spend. Normalized operating income was $162 million, or 8.9% of sales, compared with $185 million, or 9.5% of sales, in the prior year period.

Net interest expense was $83 million compared with $75 million in the prior year period.

Income tax provision was $21 million compared with benefit of $7 million in the prior year period. The normalized income tax provision was $6 million compared with $34 million in the prior year period.

Net income was $21 million compared with a net loss of $198 million in the prior year period. Normalized net income was $70 million compared with $69 million in the prior year period. Normalized EBITDA was $225 million compared with $250 million in the prior year period.

Diluted EPS was $0.05 compared with diluted loss per share of $0.48 from the prior year period. Normalized diluted EPS was $0.17 compared with $0.16 in the prior year period.

An explanation of non-GAAP measures disclosed in this release and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP results to comparable GAAP measures, if available, are included in the tables attached to this release.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Year-to-date operating cash flow was $103 million compared with $346 million in the prior year period. The current year operating cash flow was impacted by a use of working capital due to lapping of significant prior year reductions and cash tariff costs, as well as a lower cash bonus payout in the prior year.

At the end of the third quarter, Newell Brands had debt outstanding of $4.8 billion and cash and cash equivalents of $229 million, compared with $5.0 billion and $494 million, respectively, at the end of the third quarter of 2024.

Third Quarter 2025 Operating Segment Results

The Home & Commercial Solutions segment generated net sales of $942 million compared with $1.0 billion in the prior year period, reflecting a core sales decline of 9.8%, as well as the impact of favorable foreign exchange. Operating income was $40 million, or 4.2% of sales, compared with operating loss of $94 million, or negative 9.0% of sales, in the prior year period. Normalized operating income was $64 million, or 6.8% of sales, compared with $122 million, or 11.7% of sales, in the prior year period.

The Learning & Development segment generated net sales of $681 million compared with $717 million in the prior year period, reflecting a core sales decline of 5.6%, as well as the impact of favorable foreign exchange. Operating income was $124 million, or 18.2% of sales, compared with $75 million, or 10.5% of sales, in the prior period. Normalized operating income was $130 million, or 19.1% of sales, compared with $154 million, or 21.5% of sales, in the prior year period.

The Outdoor & Recreation segment generated net sales of $183 million in both the current and prior year period, reflecting a core sales decline of 0.9%, which was equal to the impact of favorable foreign exchange. Operating loss was $8 million, or negative 4.4% of sales, compared with $23 million, or negative 12.6% of sales, in the prior year period. Normalized operating loss was $1 million, or negative 0.5% of sales, compared with $15 million, or negative 8.2% of sales, in the prior year period.

Outlook

The Company initiated its outlook for the fourth quarter and updated its outlook for the full year 2025. Included in the full year 2025 updated outlook, the Company is estimating an incremental cash tariff cost, compared to 2024, of approximately $180 million. Of this, the gross profit impact, prior to mitigating actions in 2025, is estimated to be approximately $115 million, or $0.23 per share after tax, compared to 2024.

Q4 2025 Outlook

The Company updated its outlook for full year 2025 operating cash flow to a range of $250 million to $300 million.

The Company has presented forward-looking statements regarding core sales, normalized operating margin and normalized EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses or income, from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures is a matter of management judgement and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period in reliance on the exception provided by item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking normalized operating margin or normalized EPS to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's future financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company's actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.

Conference Call

Newell Brands’ third quarter 2025 earnings conference call will be held today, October 31, at 7:30 a.m. ET. A link to the webcast is provided under Events & Presentations in the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.newellbrands.com. A webcast replay will be made available in the Quarterly Earnings section of the Company’s website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release and the accompanying remarks contain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and includes a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release, the additional financial information and accompanying remarks both to explain its results to stockholders and the investment community and in the internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the Company’s performance and liquidity using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the Company’s past performance, reportable segments, prospects for future performance and liquidity, and (b) determine certain elements of management incentive compensation.

The Company’s management believes that core sales provides a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales on a consistent basis as it excludes the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures, retail store openings and closings, certain market and category exits, changes in foreign exchange and customer returns due to a product recall from year-over-year comparisons. The effect of changes in foreign exchange on reported sales is calculated by applying the prior year average monthly exchange rates to the current year local currency sales amounts (excluding acquisitions and divestitures), with the difference between the current year reported sales and constant currency sales presented as the foreign exchange impact increase or decrease in core sales. The Company’s management believes that “normalized” gross margin, "normalized" overheads, “normalized” operating income, “normalized” operating margin, "normalized EBITDA", “normalized” net income, “normalized” diluted earnings per share and “normalized” income tax benefit or expense, which exclude restructuring and restructuring-related expenses; impairment charges; amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; divestiture costs; costs related to the acquisition, integration and financing of acquired businesses; inflationary adjustments and one-time and other events such as expenses related to certain legal proceedings, costs related to the extinguishment of debt; certain tax benefits and charges; pension settlement charges; costs related to a product recall; certain facility fire related costs; and certain other items, are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations and liquidity. “Normalized EBITDA” is an ongoing liquidity measure (that excludes non-cash items) and is calculated as normalized earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense.

The Company uses a "with" and "without" approach to calculate normalized income tax expense or benefit. At an interim period, the Company determines the year to date tax effect of the pretax items excluded from normalized results by allocating the difference between the calculated GAAP and calculated normalized tax expense or benefit.

The Company defines "net debt" as short-term debt, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.

While the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s performance and liquidity, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements in this press release and its exhibits, particularly those anticipating future financial performance, business prospects, growth, operating strategies, the benefits and savings associated with the Realignment Plan announced in January 2024, future macroeconomic conditions and similar matters, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements generally can be identified by the use of words or phrases, including, but not limited to, "guidance," "outlook," “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “plan,” “expect,” “setting up,” "beginning to,” “will,” “should,” “would,” "could," “resume,” “remain confident,” "remain optimistic," "seek to," or similar statements. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees because there are inherent difficulties in predicting future results. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

the Company’s ability to optimize costs and cash flow and mitigate the impact of soft global demand and retailers' inventory rebalancing through discretionary and overhead spend management, advertising and promotion expense optimization, demand forecast and supply plan adjustments and actions to improve working capital;

the Company’s dependence on the strength of retail and consumer demand and commercial and industrial sectors of the economy in various countries around the world;

the Company’s ability to improve productivity, reduce complexity and streamline operations;

risks related to the Company’s substantial indebtedness, potential increases in interest rates or changes in the Company’s credit ratings including the failure to maintain financial covenants which if breached could subject us to cross-default and acceleration provisions in our debt documents;

the impact on the Company’s operations and financial condition resulting from the current global macroeconomic environment, including the impact of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and retaliatory tariffs imposed by foreign countries, and the Company’s ability to effectively execute its mitigation plans;

competition with other manufacturers and distributors of consumer products;

major retailers’ strong bargaining power and consolidation of the Company’s customers;

supply chain and operational disruptions in the markets in which we operate, including as a result of geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions and any global military conflicts including those between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East;

changes in the prices and availability of labor, transportation, raw materials and sourced products, including significant inflation, and the Company’s ability to offset cost increases through pricing and productivity in a timely manner;

the Company’s ability to effectively execute its turnaround plan, including the Realignment Plan and other restructuring and cost saving initiatives;

the Company’s ability to develop innovative new products, to develop, maintain and strengthen end-user brands and to realize the benefits of increased advertising and promotion spend;

the risks inherent to the Company’s foreign operations, including currency fluctuations, exchange controls and pricing restrictions;

future events that could adversely affect the value of the Company’s assets and/or stock price and require additional impairment charges;

unexpected costs or expenses associated with dispositions;

the cost and outcomes of governmental investigations, inspections, lawsuits, legislative requests or other actions by third parties, the potential outcomes of which could exceed policy limits, to the extent insured;

the Company’s ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;

risk associated with the use of artificial intelligence in the Company’s operations and the Company’s ability to properly manage such use;

a failure or breach of one of the Company’s key information technology systems, networks, processes or related controls or those of the Company’s service providers;

the impact of United States and foreign regulations on the Company’s operations, including environmental remediation costs and legislation and regulatory actions related to product safety, data privacy and climate change;

the potential inability to attract, retain and motivate key employees;

changes in tax laws and the resolution of tax contingencies resulting in additional tax liabilities;

product liability, product recalls or related regulatory actions;

the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property rights;

the impact of climate change and the increased focus of governmental and non-governmental organizations and customers on sustainability issues, as well as external expectations related to environmental, social and governance considerations;

significant increases in the funding obligations related to the Company’s pension plans; and

other factors listed from time to time in our SEC filings, including but not limited to our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings.

The consolidated condensed financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Management’s application of U.S. GAAP requires the pervasive use of estimates and assumptions in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. The company continues to be impacted by inflationary pressures, soft global demand, major retailers' focus on tight control over inventory levels, elevated interest rates and indirect macroeconomic impacts from geopolitical conflicts, which has required greater use of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Although we believe we have made our best estimates based upon current information, actual results could differ materially and may require future changes to such estimates and assumptions, including reserves, which may result in future expense or impairment charges.

The information contained in this press release and the tables is as of the date indicated. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or developments. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company has correctly identified and assessed all of the factors affecting the Company or that the publicly available and other information the Company receives with respect to these factors is complete or correct.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

The following tables present a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures in accordance with GAAP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and a comparison to prior year. The Company has chosen to present the following non-GAAP measures to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating the Company’s performance and operating results absent the effect of certain items that are deemed to be stand-alone items apart from the Company’s core operations (“Normalized Adjustments”). While these costs or gains are not expected to continue for any individual transaction on an ongoing basis, similar types of costs, expenses and charges or gains have occurred in prior periods.

Normalized Adjustments in 2025 and 2024 include the following:

Restructuring and restructuring-related costs

The company incurs restructuring and restructuring-related costs in connection with various discrete initiatives, including previously disclosed initiatives such as our 2024 Realignment Plan as well as other discrete actions. Restructuring charges primarily relate to severance and other employee termination costs as well as contract termination and other costs. Restructuring-related costs are costs that are directly attributable to a restructuring action or exit activity and would not have been incurred absent the action. Restructuring-related costs primarily relate to duplicative costs pending facility closure, asset valuation adjustments and disposal gains and consulting costs. Restructuring-related costs primarily related to manufacturing and distribution personnel, facilities and assets are generally recorded in cost of products sold, while restructuring-related costs primarily related to office facilities and assets and professional or clerical personnel are generally recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Restructuring charges primarily related to the Realignment Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Amortization expense and impairments of acquired intangible assets

Represents the amortization expense and impairment charges associated with acquired intangible assets.

Argentina hyperinflationary currency movements

Represents the favorable or unfavorable movement in Argentine pesos related to our subsidiary operating in Argentina, which is considered a hyperinflationary economy.

(Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs

Represents the gain or loss on disposal of business or investment, which represents the difference between the fair value (less costs to sell) and carrying value of the business or investment being disposed, as well as transaction costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures.

Other adjustments

Primarily includes loss on extinguishment and modification of debt, recall costs for certain French Door Countertop Ovens, fire-related costs, net of insurance recoveries and expenses related to that legal proceeding in U.S. Tax Court which is disclosed in Footnote 10 (Income Taxes) to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in our most recent quarterly report on form 10-Q.

Normalized income tax adjustments

The Company uses a “with” and “without” approach to calculate normalized income tax expense or benefit. At an interim period, the Company determines the year-to-date tax effect of the pretax items excluded from normalized results by allocating the difference between the calculated GAAP and calculated normalized tax expense or benefit. In addition, normalized income tax adjustments includes the income tax expense ($30 million and $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, $52 million and $33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively) that results from the amortization of a prior year normalized tax benefit. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 also includes a net charge of $5 million and $9 million, respectively, related to certain discrete items including (1) an incremental tax charge relating to the Company’s transition tax associated with the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017 and (2) remeasurement of deferred taxes resulting from a change in a U.S. state income tax rate and surrender of insurance policies previously accounted for as a permanent difference.

“Core Sales” provides a consistent basis for year-over-year comparisons in sales as it excludes the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, retail store openings and closings, certain market and category exits, as well as changes in foreign currency.

[2]

"Divestitures and other, net" includes certain product line exits, returns related to the French Door Countertop Ovens recall (within the Home and Commercial Solutions segment) and current and prior period net sales from retail store closures (consistent with standard retail practice).

[3]

“Currency Impact” represents the effect of foreign currency on 2025 reported sales and is calculated by applying the 2024 average monthly exchange rates to the current year local currency sales amounts (excluding acquisitions and divestitures) and comparing to 2025 reported sales.

CVE
CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX: CVE) (NYSE: CVE) today announced its third-quarter 2025 financial and operating results. The company generated approximately $2.1 billion in cash from operating activities, $2.5 billion of adjusted funds flow and $1.3 billion of free funds flow. Operating results in the quarter included record Upstream production of 832,900 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d)1 and record Downstream crude throughput of 710,700 barrels per day (bbls/d), representing an overall utilization rate of 99%.

Highlights

Third-quarter results

Operating1

Cenovus’s total revenues were $13.2 billion in the third quarter, up from $12.3 billion in the second quarter of 2025. Upstream revenues were $6.7 billion, a slight decrease from $6.8 billion in the previous quarter, while Downstream revenues were $8.4 billion, an increase from $7.7 billion in the second quarter.

Total operating margin3 was $3.0 billion, compared with $2.1 billion in the previous quarter. Upstream operating margin4 was $2.6 billion, an increase from $2.1 billion in the second quarter due to higher production and sales volumes, an increase in benchmark oil prices, and lower per unit operating costs. Downstream operating margin4 was $364 million, exceeding a shortfall of $71 million in the previous quarter, with favourable U.S. market crack spreads, lower per unit operating costs, and higher crude throughput following the completion of major turnaround activity in the prior quarter. Operating margin in the U.S. Refining segment was $253 million, which included a $67 million benefit from the receipt of Small Refinery Exemption (SRE) waivers related to the Superior Refinery, an $80 million inventory holding loss and $38 million of turnaround expenses.

Total Upstream production was 832,900 BOE/d in the third quarter, up from 765,900 BOE/d in the second quarter. Christina Lake production was 251,700 bbls/d compared with 217,900 bbls/d in the prior quarter, as Narrows Lake volumes began contributing and the facility benefited from flush production following a wildfire-related shutdown in the second quarter. Foster Creek production was 215,400 bbls/d, up from 186,100 bbls/d in the second quarter, as additional steam capacity from the Foster Creek optimization project supported higher production rates and a turnaround was completed in the prior quarter. Sunrise production was 52,400 bbls/d compared with 50,300 bbls/d in the second quarter, with both periods impacted by turnaround activities.

Production from the Lloydminster thermal assets was 95,700 bbls/d compared with 97,800 bbls/d in the prior quarter. The Rush Lake facilities in west-central Saskatchewan remain temporarily shut-in following a steam release from a casing failure in an injection well which took place in the second quarter of 2025. Plans are being progressed to begin a phased restart of production by the end of the year. Lloydminster conventional heavy oil output was 25,400 bbls/d, a slight increase from 25,000 bbls/d in the second quarter.

Production in the Conventional segment was 126,900 BOE/d, an increase from 119,800 BOE/d in the previous quarter due to strong performance from base and new development wells.

In the Offshore segment, production was 63,200 BOE/d compared with 66,300 BOE/d in the second quarter. In Asia Pacific, production volumes were 51,900 BOE/d, lower than the 53,800 BOE/d in the previous quarter, primarily due to maintenance activity in China. In the Atlantic region, production was 11,300 bbls/d, down from 12,500 bbls/d in the prior quarter, as production at the White Rose field was temporarily offline to complete subsea tie-ins between the West White Rose platform and the SeaRose floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.

Total Downstream crude throughput in the third quarter was 710,700 bbls/d, up from 665,800 bbls/d in the second quarter. Crude throughput in Canadian Refining was 105,400 bbls/d, representing a utilization rate of 98%, compared with 112,400 bbls/d in the previous quarter.

In U.S. Refining, crude throughput was 605,300 bbls/d, representing a utilization rate of 99%, compared with 553,400 bbls/d in the second quarter. U.S. Refining revenues were $7.1 billion, up from $6.5 billion in the prior quarter. Adjusted market capture5 in U.S. Refining was 65%, compared with 58% in the second quarter, driven by stronger performance at Cenovus’s operated refineries and the impact of SRE waivers received in the quarter. Excluding the impact of SRE waivers, adjusted market capture in the third quarter would have been approximately 5% lower.

3 Non-GAAP financial measure. Total operating margin is the total of Upstream operating margin plus Downstream operating margin. See Advisory.
4 Specified financial measure. See Advisory.
5 Adjusted market capture excludes the impact of inventory holding gains or losses. Contains a non-GAAP financial measure. See Advisory.

Financial

Cash from operating activities in the third quarter decreased to approximately $2.1 billion from $2.4 billion in the second quarter. Adjusted funds flow was $2.5 billion, compared with $1.5 billion in the prior quarter, and excess free funds flow (EFFF) was $745 million, compared with a shortfall of $306 million in the prior quarter. Net earnings in the third quarter increased to $1.3 billion from $851 million in the previous quarter. Third-quarter financial results reflected higher Upstream production and sales, increased Downstream utilization, stronger oil prices and market crack spreads, and lower turnaround costs relative to the second quarter.

Long-term debt, including the current portion, was $7.2 billion as at September 30, 2025. Net debt was $5.3 billion as at September 30, 2025, slightly increased from the previous quarter, as common share repurchases of $918 million exceeded EFFF of $745 million. As noted, on October 1, the company received $1.8 billion of cash proceeds from the sale of its 50% interest in WRB. The company continues to steward toward a long-term net debt target of $4.0 billion.

Growth projects

In the Oil Sands segment, Narrows Lake achieved first oil in mid-July. Three well pads were brought online in the quarter as the project continues to ramp up towards full rates. The optimization project at Foster Creek is approximately 98% complete and four steam generators brought online in July have supported higher production from the asset ahead of schedule. Commissioning of the water treating and de-oiling infrastructure is now underway and new well pads will be operating in early 2026. At Sunrise, one new well pad is being prepared for steaming in the fourth quarter, which will support continued production growth from the asset.

At West White Rose, the project’s topsides were safely lifted and set in place atop the concrete gravity structure in mid-July, and subsea tie-ins from the West White Rose platform to the SeaRose FPSO were completed in the quarter. Hookup and commissioning activities are underway, and the project is approximately 98% complete. Drilling is expected to begin by the end of the year and the project remains on schedule to produce first oil in the second quarter of 2026.

2025 guidance update

Cenovus has revised its 2025 corporate guidance to reflect the disposition of the company’s 50% interest in WRB effective September 30.  A copy of the updated guidance is available on cenovus.com under Investors.

Changes to the company’s 2025 guidance include:

U.S. Downstream throughput of 510,000 bbls/d to 515,000 bbls/d, a decrease of 52,500 bbls/d at the midpoint.Downstream turnaround expenses of $360 million to $380 million have been reduced by $65 million at the midpoint.
MEG transaction update

Subsequent to the quarter, on October 27, 2025, Cenovus announced an amended agreement to acquire MEG, for a combination of cash and Cenovus common shares valued at approximately $30.00 per MEG share. On Thursday, October 30, MEG adjourned its scheduled special meeting of shareholders related to the transaction, with Cenovus’s consent, to Thursday, November 6, 2025. The adjournment will allow MEG time to respond to a regulatory inquiry related to MEG’s consideration of the amended terms of the transaction and related matters. Subject to the approval of the Court, the approval of the MEG shareholders and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, Cenovus expects the transaction to close in mid-November.

Sustainability

In the third quarter, Cenovus announced the expansion of its Indigenous Housing Initiative, committing up to $8 million annually in ongoing funding. Launched in 2020 with a five-year, $50 million commitment, the program has supported the construction of nearly 200 homes in six First Nation and Métis communities near the company’s oil sands operations in northeast Alberta. As the initial program closes, three new communities — Saddle Lake Cree Nation, Kikino Métis Settlement and Whitefish Lake First Nation #128 — will join the initiative in 2026. The sustained funding reflects Cenovus’s long-term commitment to advancing Indigenous reconciliation and supports efforts to address housing shortages in additional communities.

Dividend declarations and share purchases

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly base dividend of $0.20 per common share, payable on December 31, 2025, to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2025.

In addition, the Board has declared a quarterly dividend on each of the Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred Shares – Series 1 and Series 2 – payable on December 31, 2025, to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2025, as follows:

Preferred shares dividend summary

Share seriesRate (%)Amount ($/share)Series 12.5770.16106Series 24.3910.27669
All dividends paid on Cenovus’s common and preferred shares will be designated as “eligible dividends” for Canadian federal income tax purposes. Declaration of dividends is at the sole discretion of the Board and will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis.

In the third quarter, the company returned $1.3 billion to shareholders, composed of $918 million from its purchase of 40.4 million shares through its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) and $356 million through common and preferred share dividends. Subsequent to the quarter, the company purchased 17.0 million common shares through October 27, 2025 for $409 million. The current NCIB will expire on November 10, 2025. Cenovus has received approval from the Board to apply for another NCIB program. Cenovus will apply for approval to repurchase up to approximately 120 million of the company’s common shares, representing approximately 10% of its public float, as defined by the TSX.

Advisory

Basis of Presentation

Cenovus reports financial results in Canadian dollars and presents production volumes on a net to Cenovus before royalties basis, unless otherwise stated. Cenovus prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Accounting Standards.

Barrels of Oil Equivalent

Natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) on the basis of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) to one barrel (bbl). BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of one bbl to six Mcf is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil compared with natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis is not an accurate reflection of value.

Adjusted Market Capture
Adjusted market capture contains a non-GAAP financial measure and is used in the company’s U.S. Refining segment to provide an indication of margin captured relative to what was available in the market based on widely-used benchmarks. Cenovus defines adjusted market capture as refining margin, net of holding gains and losses, divided by the weighted average 3-2-1 market benchmark crack, net of RINs, expressed as a percentage. The weighted average crack spread, net of RINs, is calculated on Cenovus’s operable capacity-weighted average of the Chicago and Group 3 3-2-1 benchmark market crack spreads, net of RINs.

The company previously disclosed market capture which did not exclude the effect of inventory holding gains or losses. Cenovus replaced market capture with adjusted market capture to exclude the impact of inventory holding gains or losses. The company believes this metric provides more comparability and accuracy when measuring the cash generating performance of our downstream operations. Comparative periods were revised to conform with our current presentation.

The securities offered pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.

Our asset-light franchising model continues to resonate with both franchisees and landlords," added Sean Black.

Even the Dijon is made in-house!

GAAP Earnings Per Share of $0.30, Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share of $0.47

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Proto Labs, Inc. ("Protolabs" or the "Company") (NYSE: PRLB), the world’s leading provider of digital manufacturing services, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

Revenue was a record $135.4 million, a 7.8% increase compared to revenue of $125.6 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Revenue fulfilled through digital factories was $105.3 million, a 4.9% increase year-over-year.

Revenue fulfilled through the Protolabs Network was $30.1 million, a 19.1% increase year-over-year.

Net income was $7.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP net income was $11.4 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $11.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

“Protolabs generated another quarter of accelerated growth and record revenue, supported by strong performance in several key end markets, and a substantial increase in revenue per customer contact. I am very encouraged by the progress we’ve made over the last two quarters—we have significant momentum into year-end," commented President and Chief Executive Officer Suresh Krishna. "While it’s still early, my short time here has strengthened my confidence that our current strategy—delivering high-quality, custom parts throughout the product lifecycle, from prototyping to production—is the right one. Together with our teams, I am focused on accelerating profitable growth, and positioning Protolabs for long-term shareholder value creation."

Dan Schumacher, Chief Financial Officer, added: "Along with record revenue in the quarter, we continued to demonstrate the strength of our business model by expanding adjusted EBITDA as compared to the second quarter of 2025, continuing our best-in-class cash flow generation, and returning capital to shareholders via repurchases of common stock."

Additional Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:

Customer contact information

Protolabs served 21,252 customer contacts during the quarter.

Revenue per customer contact increased 14.1% year-over-year to $6,370.

EBITDA was $17.4 million. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Adjusted EBITDA was $21.1 million, or 15.6% of revenue. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

We generated $29.1 million in cash from operations.

Cash and investments balance was $138.4 million as of September 30, 2025.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Outlook

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company expects to generate revenue between $125.0 million and $133.0 million.

The Company expects fourth quarter 2025 diluted net income per share between $0.12 and $0.20, and non-GAAP diluted net income per share between $0.30 and $0.38. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has included non-GAAP revenue growth by region and by service line that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (collectively, “non-GAAP revenue growth”). Management believes these metrics, when viewed in conjunction with the comparable GAAP metrics, are useful in evaluating the underlying business trends and ongoing operating performance of the Company.

The Company has included earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency, CEO transition costs and costs related to exit and disposal activities (collectively, “Adjusted EBITDA”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results. The Company has also included earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin (“EBITDA margin”) and EBITDA margin, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency, CEO transition costs and costs related to exit and disposal activities (collectively, “Adjusted EBITDA margin”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results.

The Company has included non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense, in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results.

The Company has included non-GAAP operating margin, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, CEO transition costs and costs related to exit and disposal activities (collectively, “non-GAAP operating margin”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results.

The Company has included non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, in each case, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency, CEO transition costs and costs related to exit and disposal activities (collectively, “non-GAAP net income”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results.

The Company has provided below reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP revenue growth by region and by service line, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by the Company’s management and board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance and trends, provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s business, and in determining executive and senior management incentive compensation. Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release.

Strength Seen in Moderna (MRNA): Can Its 13.9% Jump Turn into More Strength? stocknewsapi
MRNA
Moderna (MRNA - Free Report) shares rallied 13.9% in the last trading session to close at $28.14. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 10.5% loss over the past four weeks.

The surge in the stock price occurred after several reports indicated that Moderna had engaged in strategic negotiations with a major pharmaceutical company regarding a potential large partnership or buyout agreement.

This biotechnology company is expected to post quarterly loss of $2.15 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -7266.7%. Revenues are expected to be $860.07 million, down 53.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For Moderna, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 5.8% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on MRNA going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>

Moderna is a member of the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry. One other stock in the same industry, Septerna, Inc. (SEPN - Free Report) , finished the last trading session 2.1% lower at $21.49. SEPN has returned 15.5% over the past month.

Septerna, Inc.'s consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.19. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents a change of +102.3%. Septerna, Inc. currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Insight: AI turned Google Cloud from also-ran into Alphabet's growth driver stocknewsapi
GOOG GOOGL
SummaryCompaniesGoogle Cloud grew 34% in the third quarter on AI demandCloud is now challenging YouTube as Alphabet's No. 2 cash generatorStrategy shifts help Alphabet compete with Amazon and Microsoft in cloud servicesNEW YORK, NY, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Once a money-losing backwater, Google Cloud has become one of Alphabet's

(GOOGL.O), opens new tab fastest-growing businesses, powered by massive bets on AI and years of costly investment in datacenters, custom chips, and networking gear.

Alphabet’s cloud revenue topped
$15 billion in the third quarter
, a 34% increase reflecting strong demand for AI infrastructure and services, including Google’s own Gemini model, the company announced Wednesday.

Sign up here.

Google Cloud is now challenging YouTube as Alphabet’s No. 2 cash generator behind its search ads business.

“Google Cloud is one of the most important priorities for Alphabet as a whole and I expect it to play an even more central role as the company moves forward,” Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai told Reuters in an interview earlier in October.

Much of the cloud unit’s growth can be attributed to the business bets and diplomatic maneuvering of its head Thomas Kurian, who joined Google from Oracle in 2018 and grew the unit’s market share from 7% then to 13% in 2025, according to Synergy Research Group, which tracks the cloud industry.

When Pichai replaced Google co-founder Larry Page as CEO in 2019, he identified Google Cloud and YouTube as his two big bets to move Alphabet beyond its core business of search advertising.

Since then, YouTube has largely delivered, becoming the world’s largest video platform with 1 billion hours watched per day.
By contrast, Google Cloud lost billions between 2018 and 2022 due to heavy investments in servers, datacenters and chips until it turned its first profit in 2023.

Now, with generative AI, Alphabet sees a chance to close the gap with rivals Microsoft

(MSFT.O), opens new tab and Amazon

(AMZN.O), opens new tab, which hold 20% and 30% market share respectively.

Making Google Cloud a contender has come at a cost: Alphabet has already shocked Wall Street twice during quarterly earnings this year by proclaiming higher-than-expected capital spending due to the need to build more infrastructure to fulfill cloud demand.

“This is the moment Google Cloud was waiting for,” Dave McCarthy, who directs coverage of the cloud industry for research firm IDC. “A lot of the future growth at Alphabet is being looked at through its potential.”

In exclusive interviews with Reuters, senior Alphabet executives mapped out the gameplan that transformed the also-ran into a growth driver: a cultural shift to a more customer-driven sales approach; changing how it worked with rivals; and a renewed focus on delivering profits.

‘GET OUT OF HERE, KID’Back when Kurian joined Alphabet, Google Cloud struggled to win enterprise customers, unlike the ads side of the business which was dealing with the biggest companies in the world.

“We would go to the ads team asking, ‘Hey, can you help us out with this customer?’ And they would basically be like, ‘Get out of here, kid,’” said Josh Gwyther, a startup founder who worked at Google Cloud from 2016 to 2025.

That’s not a problem anymore: Google’s scope of AI offerings have brought it into conversations with large companies that previously only considered Amazon and Microsoft.

“The ads business is extremely healthy, but it’s not going to grow at the pace that we are,” said Matt Renner, Google Cloud’s president of global revenue.

Nine of the 10 leading AI labs are now customers, Kurian said at an industry conference in September. They include OpenAI, Anthropic and Safe Superintelligence. Details of Google’s deals with two of those labs were
first reported by Reuters
earlier this year.

To get there, Kurian took a mallet to traditional practices, replacing it with what several employees called an “un-Googley” culture.

Kurian, who left a job as one of Larry Ellison’s highest-paid lieutenants at Oracle

(ORCL.N), opens new tab, brought financial discipline to Google’s “loosely-run, ground-up culture” that encouraged side projects and experimentation, said Chirag Mehta, a tech analyst who worked at Google Cloud from 2017 to 2021.

To slash costs, Kurian opened new offices in cheaper locations, such as North Carolina and Poland. He audited Google Cloud’s contracts for internal services and renegotiated those where he deemed his unit was being overcharged by other departments, as was

first reported in The Information, opens new tab
.

He has ordered employees to focus on revenue rather than bookings. Google Cloud also shifted its sales strategy to target customers by sector rather than geography. That helped reduce sales reps being assigned accounts in industries where they lacked specialized knowledge, said Renner.

Its focus on generative AI has allowed it to catch up with rivals Microsoft and Amazon from a technical standpoint, according to some analysts.

“We believe that the three clouds competitively are on roughly equal footing,” said Goldman Sachs managing director Eric Sheridan. “That’s a very different competitive positioning for Google Cloud now than two or three years ago.”

WORKING WITH THE ENEMY

For years, Alphabet had reserved the lion’s share of its own chips, or TPUs, for in-house use only. That changed in 2022, when Kurian successfully lobbied to move the group selling TPUs from Google’s core engineering unit into Google Cloud.

That move drastically increased Google Cloud's allocation of TPUs because the unit could now freely offer the chips rather than having to receive approval from another part of the company, according to two people familiar with the move.

A
t a time when the world was scrambling for compute, Alphabet made the decision to make its chips available to not just its own DeepMind AI unit, but also to its competitors.

That decision stoked tensions internally, according to former employees of both units, but it gave Kurian a stronger sales pitch for courting customers.

“We are the only hyperscaler with both silicon and models of our own,” he said. “How deep is your technical differentiation when the same stuff that you’re reselling can be bought from somebody else?”

Google Cloud quickly leveraged the opportunity to petition Anthropic to test TPUs as a viable alternative to Nvidia’s

(NVDA.O), opens new tab GPUs, according to a former Google Cloud executive involved in the partnership.

By 2024, Anthropic had seen enough to deploy Alphabet’s TPUs at scale. In October, it expanded its deal with Google to use as many as one million TPUs, worth tens of billions of dollars. The startup, which is now valued at $183 billion, has also tapped Amazon for chips as it reduces its dependency on Nvidia, which controls about 80% of the AI chip market.

“The whole world was sort of on GPUs, OpenAI in particular,” said Dan Rosenthal, who manages Anthropic’s partnerships with Google and Amazon. The need for chips “pushed us to be more flexible,” he said.

Other AI developers including Apple

(AAPL.O), opens new tab and Safe Superintelligence have since adopted Alphabet's TPUs. Pichai told analysts on an earnings conference call this week that Alphabet is "investing in TPU capacity to meet the tremendous demand we are seeing from customers and partners."

And although Google Cloud launched an enterprise version of its flagship model Gemini in October, Kurian told Reuters he would welcome adding OpenAI’s family of enterprise models to Google Cloud if the ChatGPT maker was interested.

POWER SHIFTThe ascent of Google Cloud is shifting the balance of power inside Alphabet. Current and former executives told Reuters Kurian has gained clout at Google’s weekly “leads,” the agenda-setting meetings where division leaders jostle over resources and priorities.

“What Thomas has been a powerful voice for is making sure that when we say we’re focusing on the user, that we’re focusing on the enterprise customer too,” Pichai said.

It still has a long way to catch up with its rivals and it will be expensive to get there. In July, Pichai hiked Alphabet’s projected capital spending for 2025 by $10 billion to $85 billion. This week, he raised the projection again to between $91 billion and $93 billion, adding that 2026 was likely to run an even larger bill.

With concerns over an AI bubble growing, Pichai told Reuters that he expects Google Cloud’s business to have “a lot of resilience” against short-term market corrections. “From our standpoint, we've been doing the AI thing for a decade now, and we're going to be doing it a decade from now.”

Pfizer could hold a Trump card in its bid for Metsera stocknewsapi

CompaniesOct 31 (Reuters) - U.S. drugmaker Pfizer could work its connections within President Donald Trump's administration to try to thwart Novo Nordisk's surprise rival bid to acquire U.S. obesity biotech firm Metsera, analysts, investors and lawyers said on Thursday.

Danish obesity and diabetes drug giant Novo said on Thursday it had bested Pfizer's already agreed-upon deal, kicking off a fight for advantage in the market analysts forecast will grow to $150 billion. The next step is Pfizer's, which has four business days to make a counteroffer, Metsera said, describing Novo's bid as "superior."

Sign up here.

A Pfizer spokesperson did not have an immediate comment on whether the company would do so. The company has also said it is ready to legally challenge Novo's bid.

The Trump administration is relatively transactional and tends to favor U.S.-oriented or politically savvy companies, Bernstein analyst Courtney Breen said. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has particularly close ties to the president, she added.

"If there is the potential for any political interference ... Pfizer is on the right side of that equation at this point," Breen said.

BOURLA HAS HISTORY WITH TRUMPBourla has worked hard to strengthen his relationship with Trump this year, traveling often to the White House and Mar-a-Lago to meet with the president.

Pfizer was also the first to break from other major drugmakers and strike a deal to lower prescription drug prices, with Bourla sharing the stage with Trump at the White House.

"Bourla has done a good job at creating a relationship with the administration that will hopefully allow them to get access to the market," said Brian Mulberry, portfolio manager at Zacks Investment Management, which owns 2.4 million Pfizer shares.

The White House declined to comment.

PFIZER NEEDS AN OBESITY WINPfizer has had numerous setbacks in the obesity space, including early-stage experimental treatments that did not work as hoped or faced significant concerns.

The obesity failures have contributed to a more than 50% decline in its value, driven since its pandemic-era high due to waning revenue from COVID products and looming patent expirations for key drugs.

"I don't think Pfizer has another option that would accelerate them to this point so quickly. They'd have to come back to something that is in a very early stage, that would be longer term to profitability," Mulberry said.

Bernstein's Breen said Pfizer also must contend with a perception that it has historically overpaid for acquisitions.

"If they go and just ramp up their price and their offer to Metsera, I think there could be some mixed reactions to that, because people don't want Pfizer to overpay for M&A like they perhaps have in the past," Breen said.

NOVO ANTITRUST ISSUES ARE POSSIBLEPfizer could also play the antitrust card: Novo Nordisk is one of two dominant players in the obesity medication space and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has some history of considering how unapproved experimental treatments could impact a market.

Bristol Myers in its 2019 deal for competitor Celgene, sold Celgene's blockbuster psoriasis treatment Otezla and Allergan sold off brazikumab, a drug in development to treat autoimmune diseases, so it could be bought by AbbVie.

David Balto, an antitrust lawyer and former policy director of the FTC, warned that Novo Nordisk's acquisition of a potentially significant rival in Metsera raised competitive risks.

"The FTC appropriately looks at drugs in the pipeline as being potentially significant rivals, and so the acquisition of a rival raises as significant competitive concern as the acquisition of an incumbent," he noted.
