LifeWallet Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results - MSP Recovery (NASDAQ:LIFWW), MSP Recovery (NASDAQ:LIFW)

MIAMI, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MSP Recovery, Inc. d/b/a LifeWallet LIFW ("LifeWallet," or the "Company"), a Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and secondary payer reimbursement recovery and technology leader, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. LifeWallet Chief Executive Officer, John H. Ruiz, said, "From additional settlements to the processing of additional claims data, we continue to see progress across all lines of business. We're also reaping the rewards of reduced operating expenses, which have had a positive impact on our financials. In addition to providing invaluable technological resources to patients, providers, payers, and attorneys, our cost-cutting solutions can discover wasted federal funds and recover Medicare reimbursements to preserve tax dollars, benefiting all Americans." Third Quarter Highlights On July 22, 2024, the Company announced a new comprehensive settlement with another group of affiliated property and casualty insurance carriers ("P&C Insurers") doing business in multiple states, which includes the P&C Insurers' agreement to provide ten years of historical data and data sharing of future claims, implementation of LifeWallet's clearinghouse solution to settle future claims, and assignment of additional rights to collect against additional third parties related to the settled claims.The Company entered into a confidential pharmaceutical antitrust settlement totaling $3.1 million. As part of LifeWallet's owned claims portfolio, the Company has claims against multiple pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers based on allegations of defective products or anti-competitive pricing.The Company launched an initiative to secure new agreements with health plans, providers, insurers and attorneys, while continuing to reduce operating costs.Creditors Virage Capital Management LP; Virage Recovery Master, LP; Hazel Holdings I, LLC; and Hazel Partners Holdings, LLC agreed to waive certain provisions in their agreements with the Company that would accelerate the payment of amounts due in the event that the Company receives a negative going concern opinion from its auditors for the year ending December 31, 2024. Subsequent Events On November 11, 2024, the Company announced new comprehensive settlements with P&C Insurers, totaling $5.2 million, continued progress in recoveries on owned claims and acquiring rights to additional claims, as well as initiatives to eliminate wasteful Medicare spending by launching beta testing of its clearinghouse solution, built in partnership with Palantir Technologies, Inc. PLTR.LifeWallet is also currently in negotiations with other property and casualty insurers to resolve claims on a similar basis, including one of the country's largest P&C Insurers. Some of these negotiations have resulted in collaborative statistical sampling and extensive data-matching to determine the size and scope of claims that are owned by the Company that LifeWallet has asserted repayment is due pursuant to Medicare Secondary Payer and other related laws.The Company entered into a confidential settlement with a medical device manufacturer totaling $760,000. As part of LifeWallet's owned claims portfolio, the Company has ongoing litigation against other pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers based on claims of defective products or anti-competitive pricing.The Company acquired the recovery rights to additional Medicare Secondary Payer claims consisting of more than 450,000 Medicare members, as documented by health insurance plans, with an estimated total claims Paid Amount exceeding $10.6 billion.1LifeWallet strategically reduced its operating costs in 2023 and continues to do so in 2024. These cost reductions do not impact the systems that the Company has already created to support recovery efforts of the claims owned by the Company or other resources available to third parties. The Company anticipates these reductions could continue to contribute savings to operating expenses for the year ending December 31, 2024.The Company is advancing initiatives to eliminate wasteful spending of federal dollars and unnecessary Medicare secondary payments, utilizing its clearinghouse system, created through its exclusive healthcare partnership with Palantir Technologies. The clearinghouse solution utilizes the Palantir Foundry platform, AI tools, natural language processing, and machine learning, resulting in the development of a sophisticated data analytics system that captures and manages healthcare data, enhancing LifeWallet's Chase to Pay model. Third Quarter Financial Highlights Revenue: Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.7 million compared to $0.4 million for three months ended September 30, 2023.Operating loss: Operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $129.9 million, compared to $136.7 million during three months ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $8.4 million, excluding non-cash claims amortization expense of $121.0 million and professional fees paid in stock of $0.4 million.Net loss: Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $190.4 million and $160.5 million to controlling members, or net loss per share of $1.26 per share, Class A Common Stock, based on 23,764,079 million weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. Adjusted net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $11.0 million, excluding the non-cash item noted above, change in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities of $45.3 million, and $103.3 million related to interest expense.Liquidity: As of September 30, 2024, cash totaled $4.7 million, and as of October 31, 2024, cash totaled $5.6 million. The Company continually monitors its liquidity and may in the future access debt and equity markets as necessary in order to meet its ongoing liquidity needs, including by drawing upon its working capital facility. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received $5.25 million of funding for working capital. Subsequently, the Company has received additional working capital funding of $3.5 million, and it has $5.25 million of remaining capacity to draw from its working capital facility as of the date of filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2024. Assigned Recovery Rights, Claims Paid and Billed Value The table below outlines the Company's claims data for the most recent periods. The amounts represent data received from current and new assignors: $ in billionsNine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2022 Paid Amount$380.5 $369.8 $374.8 Paid Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims(2) 87.8 88.9 89.6 Billed Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims 375.3 373.5 377.8 Recovery MultipleN/A(1) N/A N/A Penetration Status of Portfolio 86.8% 86.8% 85.8% 1) During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has received total recoveries of $9.9 million. However, the settlement amounts do not provide a large enough sample to be statistically significant, and are therefore not shown in the table. 2) On August 10, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit held that a four-year statute of limitations period applies to certain claims brought under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act's private cause of action, and that the limitations period begins to run on the date that the cause of action accrued. This opinion may render certain Claims held by the Company unrecoverable and may substantially reduce PVPRC and BVPRC as calculated. As our cases were filed at different times and in various jurisdictions, and prior to data matching with a defendant we are not able to accurately calculate the entirety of damages specific to a given defendant, we cannot calculate with certainty the impact of this ruling at this time. However, the Company has deployed several legal strategies (including but not limited to seeking to amend existing lawsuits in a manner that could allow claims to relate back to the filing date as well as asserting tolling arguments based on theories of fraudulent concealment) that would apply to tolling the applicable limitations period and minimizing any material effect on the overall collectability of its claim rights. In addition, the Eleventh Circuit decision applies only to district courts in the Eleventh Circuit. Many courts in other jurisdictions have applied other statutes of limitations to the private cause of action, including borrowing the three-year statute of limitations applicable to the government's cause of action; and borrowing from the False Claims Act's six-year period. The most recent decision on the issue from the District Court of Massachusetts, for example, applies the same statute of limitations as Eleventh Circuit, but expressly disagrees with the Eleventh Circuit's application of the "accrual" rule and instead adopted the notice-based trigger that the company has always argued should apply. This would mean that the limitations period for unreported claims has not even begun to accrue. This is a complex legal issue that will continue to evolve in jurisdictions across the country. Nevertheless, if the application of the statute of limitations as determined by the Eleventh Circuit was applied to all Claims assigned to us, we estimate that the effect would be a reduction of PVPRC by approximately $9.9 billion. As set forth in our Risk Factors, PVPRC is based on a variety of factors. As such, this estimate is subject to change based on the variety of legal claims being litigated and statute of limitations tolling theories that apply. Going Concern As disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has concluded that, despite the financing arrangements entered into by the Company, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Unless the Company is successful in raising additional funds through the offering of debt or equity securities, the Company has concluded it is probable the Company will be unable to continue to operate as a going concern beyond the next 12 months. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, including an explanation of these measures and how each is calculated, is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has also been provided in the financial tables.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures MSP RECOVERY, INC. and Subsidiaries Non-GAAP Reconciliation Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 GAAP Operating Loss $(129,871) $(136,694) $(395,001) $(417,849)Professional fees paid in stock 416 1,875 1,484 1,875 Claims amortization expense 121,007 121,008 363,027 355,481 Allowance for credit losses -- -- -- 5,000 Adjusted Operating Loss $(8,448) $(13,811) $(30,490) $(55,493) GAAP Net Loss $(190,384) $(224,217) $(578,832) $(609,192)Professional fees paid in stock 416 1,875 1,484 1,875 Claims amortization expense 121,007 121,008 363,027 355,481 Allowance for credit losses -- -- -- 5,000 Interest expense (1) 103,336 88,279 302,101 204,287 Change in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities (45,341) (348) (121,625) (4,247)Adjusted Net Loss $(10,966) $(13,403) $(33,845) $(46,796) In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, this Quarterly Report also contains non-GAAP financial measures. We consider "adjusted net loss" and "adjusted operating loss" as non-GAAP financial measures and important indicators of performance and useful metrics for management and investors to evaluate the Company's ongoing operating performance on a consistent basis across reporting periods. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors. Adjusted net loss represents net loss adjusted for certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses, and adjusted operating loss items represents operating loss adjusted for certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most relevant GAAP measure is included above. (1) Interest expense included above excludes any interest expense payments made in cash during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. _______________________________ 1 "Paid Amount" (a/k/a Medicare Paid Rate or wholesale price) means the amount paid to the provider from the health plan or insurer. This amount varies based on the party making payment. For example, Medicare typically pays a lower fee for service rate than commercial insurers. The Paid Amount is derived from the Claims data we receive from our Assignors. In the limited instances where the data received lacks a paid value, our team calculates the Paid Amount with a formula. The formula used provides rates for outpatient services and is derived from the customary rate at the 95th percentile as it appears from standard industry commercial rates or, where that data is unavailable, the Billed Amount if present in the data. These amounts are then adjusted to account for the customary Medicare adjustment to arrive at the calculated Paid Amount. Management believes that this formula provides a conservative estimate for the Medicare paid amount rate, based on industry studies which show the range of differences between private insurers and Medicare rates for outpatient services. We periodically update this formula to enhance the calculated paid amount where that information is not provided in the data received from our Assignors. Management believes this measure provides a useful baseline for potential recoveries, but it is not a measure of the total amount that may be recovered in respect of potentially recoverable Claims, which in turn may be influenced by any applicable potential statutory recoveries such as double damages or fines. Where we have to extrapolate a Paid Amount to establish damages, the calculated amount may be contested by opposing parties. The figures pertaining to Medicare Member Lives as well as the paid amount were tabulated based on the data provided by health care plans; these figures may be subject to adjustment upon further investigation of the paid amounts reflected by the health plans.

"It is hard to overstate how important the third quarter of 2024 was for Banzai," said Joe Davy, Founder and CEO of Banzai. "We believe this marks a turning point for the Company in many ways. Banzai achieved a 31% annualized Annual Recurring Revenue growth rate and a historic record for Net Revenue Retention. We also made game-changing improvements to our balance sheet and cost structure to set us up for sustainable profitability in the future. Growth was driven by our focus on the Reach product through re-engineering and expanded sales efforts, leading to the addition of 1,785 customers through October 2024. In total, we now serve nearly 3,000 customers that have contributed to top and bottom-line sequential improvements from the second quarter. "To better serve our customers, we have continued to invest in our software platforms and growth.

We are making significant progress on these goals and overall improvement in net income is expected to be approximately $12.2 million annually when fully implemented, while maintaining our growth outlook. "Looking ahead, our ability to leverage deep analytics and insights to drive marketing decisions combined with leveraging AI to launch exciting new products and capabilities, will continue to drive growth. We will continue to manage costs efficiently while investing in our software platform, sales and marketing and product development. We look forward to additional updates on our anticipated milestones in the weeks and months to come," concluded Davy. Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results Banzai believes its non-GAAP financial measure ARR is more meaningful in evaluating its performance. The Company's management team evaluates its financial and operating results utilizing this non-GAAP measure. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, ARR increased 7% sequentially, representing a 31% annualized ARR growth rate. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $1.1 million, a sequential increase of 0.5% from the three months ended June 30, 2024, and a decrease of 2.5% compared to the prior year quarter. Total cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.3 million, compared to $0.3 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 1%. The decrease was proportional to the revenue for the corresponding period. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $0.7 million, compared to $0.8 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin was 68.7% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 69.2% in the third quarter of 2023. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were $3.5 million, compared to $2.8 million in the prior year quarter. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $8.5 million, compared to $0.8 million in the prior year quarter. The greater net loss is primarily due to the change in fair valuation of various financial instruments related to the debt restructuring in the third quarter of 2024, which increased by approximately $14.5 million over the three months ended September 30, 2024 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. These non-cash valuation charges do not represent present or future cash obligations of the Company, and as a result, the Company believes Adjusted Net Loss is a better representation of the financial performance of the company for the third quarter 2024. Adjusted Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was ($1.45) million, compared to ($3.6) million in the prior year quarter. This improvement was driven by improvements to the Company's efficiency and by write-off agreements entered into for certain liabilities, substantially reducing the Company's current and future cash liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was ($1.5) million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA Loss of ($2.0) million for the prior year quarter, representing an improvement of $0.5 million. Nine Month 2024 Financial Results Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $3.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, a decrease of 7.2%. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower Reach revenue which declined by approximately $44 thousand due to the discontinuation of the legacy Reach 1.0 product, which was discontinued on December 31, 2023. In 2024, Banzai has revitalized its focus on the Reach product through re-engineering and expanded sales efforts. Demio revenue was lower by approximately $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to lower new unit sales period-over-period, due to the company's strategic shift to focus on mid-market customers, which the Company hopes will ultimately result in higher Average Customer Value and Net Retention Rate for the Demio product. Demio Net Revenue Retention reached an all-time historic high in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. This represents a decrease of approximately $84 thousand, or approximately 7.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease is due primarily to the company's focus on Mid-Market customers that led to an approximately 12% higher average cost per customer, driven by the increase in the streaming services costs of approximately $150 thousand that were offset by lower infrastructure costs / data licenses of approximately $117 thousand, payroll and contracted services of approximately $98 thousand, and merchant fee costs of approximately $12 thousand. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. This represents a decrease of approximately $167 thousand, or approximately 7.1%, which was due to the decreases in revenue of approximately $251 thousand and decreases in cost of revenue of approximately $84 thousand described above. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 67.5% and 67.4%, respectively. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were $11.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively, an increase of 31.1%. This increase was due primarily to an overall increase in salaries and related expenses by approximately $0.3 million, marketing expenses by approximately $0.6 million, costs associated with audit, technical accounting, and legal and other professional services of approximately $1.6 million. The company has implemented a plan to reduce annualized operating expenses by up to $13.5 million by the end of the first quarter 2025. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $23.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively. The greater net loss is primarily due to an increase in total other expenses of approximately $12.6 million, an increase in operating expenses of approximately $2.8 million, and a decrease in gross profit of approximately $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted Net Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was ($10.0) million and ($10.0) million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $11.9 million, compared to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Cash totaled $4.3 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $2.1 million as of December 31, 2023, representing a historic high. End-of-Year 2024 Target Banzai targets December 2024 ARR to be $8.1 - $10 million, based on the Company's March 2024 ARR, organic growth during the year as demonstrated by year-to-date 2024 customer wins and reactivations, and currently signed non-binding LOIs to acquire other marketing technology businesses. The midpoint target, or $9.1 million, foresees a 97% increase in ARR, which would be attributable to both organic growth and the acquisitions currently under LOI. Banzai's management anticipates tracking the Company's progress to its targeted December 2024 ARR as part of the Company's 2024 quarterly earnings reports. Annual recurring revenue refers to revenue, normalized on an annual basis, that Banzai expects to receive from its customers for providing them with products or services. The December 2024 ARR information provided above is based on Banzai's current estimates of internal growth, the completion of acquisitions, and those companies contributing ARR based on current levels, and is not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are forward-looking and actual ARR may differ materially. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" section below for information on the factors that could cause Banzai's actual ARR to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Airship AI Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results - Airship AI Holdings (NASDAQ:AISP)

Third Quarter 2024 Net Revenues of $2.9 Million, Gross Profit of $2.2 Million and Gross Margin of 75% 2024 Net Revenue of $19.9 Million Through the 9 Months ended September 30, 2024 Represents a 61% Increase over FY 2023 Net Revenue of $12.3 Million New Pro-U.S. Border Security Administration Provides Additional Macro Tailwinds for 2025 & Beyond REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Airship AI Holdings, Inc. AISP ("Airship AI" or the "Company"), a leader in AI-driven video, sensor, and data management surveillance solutions, today reported its financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. Q3 2024 Financial Highlights Net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, were $2.9 million. Gross profits for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, were $2.2 million. Gross margin percentage was 75% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Higher margins were in part due to product mix, with reduced equipment purchases and increased Outpost AI sales. Operating loss was $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, which reflected increased stock based compensation and overall sales levels. Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $7.8 million, primarily due to a gain from a change in the fair value of earnout liability of $5.5 million, change in fair value of warrant liability of $1.5 million and change in fair value of convertible debt of $0.4 million. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $6.2 million, or $0.25 per basic share, primarily related to noncash income of $7.8 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $0.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents was $6.5 million as of September 30, 2024. Closed an $8 million public offering with net proceeds of approximately $7.3 million, after deducting the estimated offering expenses, in the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Q3 2024 & Subsequent Operational Highlights Backlog as of September 30, 2024, was $6.6 million, representing firm fixed price contracts awarded in the second and third quarter that will be shipped and invoiced in the fourth quarter of 2024 or first quarter of 2025. Backlog is not indicative of future quarterly revenue as approximately 75% of quarterly revenue is transactional and recognized in the same quarter.Our total validated pipeline at the end of the quarter was approximately $130 million, consisting of single and multi-year opportunities for AI-driven edge, video, and sensor and data management platform across all our customer verticals. Our pipeline includes opportunities at varying stages of progression with expected award timeframes throughout the next 18-24 months.Due to the sensitive nature of many of our customers and deployment use cases, we are often restricted from publicly disclosing awards and or limited as to the specifics of the customer and use case. Consequently, the vast majority of our awards are executed on closed or restricted contract vehicles which further limits the sharing of information that might be otherwise available.Multiple large contracts awarded throughout the quarter including but not limited to: $4.0 million firm-fixed price contract for an agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), for advanced integrated solutions supporting real-time intelligence collection operations along the United States' borders, leveraging the Company's edge IoT appliance, Outpost AI.$1.2 million firm-fixed price support and maintenance contract for our existing deployment of Acropolis Enterprise Video and Data Management Platform supporting a Fortune 100 Transportation and E-Commerce company' global operations. We successfully completed a pilot opportunity to replace failing capabilities within critical infrastructure on the U.S. southern border, leading to an Airship AI brand-name only award that will be shipped and installed in the fourth quarter of 2024. This initial award is in support of our single-largest opportunity, valued at more than $50 million over the next four (4) years. Estimated total contract value is conservatively based on data points from published market research, including size and scope, and pricing approved via awarded procurement efforts.We participated in JIFX, or Joint Interagency Field Exercise, an invite only event led by the Naval Post-Graduate School. The JIFX team leads experimentation in alternative methods to enable rapid technological development by cultivating a community of interest and hosting broadly scoped quarterly collaborative field events which enable DoD, US government, and allied stakeholders to identify, influence, and accelerate early-stage technology development that address national and collective security challenges.We participated in TIDE, or Technology Innovation Discovery Event, an invite only Department of Defense (DoD) sponsored event that aims to help innovative small businesses and non-traditional DoD performers showcase new hardware and software technologies that can significantly improve existing software or meet new challenges in support of the National Defense Strategy.We were a primary sponsor of and participant in UTAC, the premier unmanned aerial and robotic systems tactical event for Police, Public Safety, Government, and Defense agencies.

Management Commentary "The third quarter of 2024 saw continued momentum in support of our trajectory for triple-digit revenue growth for the full year," said Paul Allen, President of Airship AI. "Our team was able to generate solid revenues for the quarter of $2.9 million at a gross margin percentage of 75%, our second consecutive quarter of gross margin percentages above 70%. We ended the quarter with $6.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.1 million in accounts receivables. "Historically, our third quarter tends to be slower due to the focus on the U.S. Government's fiscal year-end, during which many of our larger opportunities go out for bid in the September timeframe. We also saw several large opportunities pushed out to FY 2025 or drastically cut due to budget challenges across several federal agencies. Additionally, the completion of the capital raise late in the quarter caused delays in bringing in several opportunities as the funds were needed to cover the cost of goods sold for those opportunities. Despite these headwinds, we achieved 18% year-over-year growth in net revenue for the quarter and 61% net revenue growth as compared to full year 2023 revenue of $12.3 million. "While our recently completed capital raise did not close in time to be reflected in the Q3 results, it has significantly enhanced our ability to execute large transactions, particularly those involving substantial up-front costs of goods sold. The capital raise has also enabled us to expand our sales, business development, and partner marketing capabilities by bringing in specialized industry expertise and experience in managing large-scale defense programs. We have already made progress toward this objective with the addition of several high-caliber team members, and we are in the process of bringing on even more talent to further strengthen our capabilities. "With former President Trump's election as president-elect and his stated commitment to rapidly increase investments in securing the border, we are already seeing a positive shift in the market dynamics surrounding our pipeline. Currently our pipeline is heavily weighted to initiatives directly supporting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and specifically Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This positions us exceptionally well to capitalize on increased investments in technology supporting securing the border as it leverages our strong relationship as an established, trusted partner of CBP, with a proven track record of successful software and hardware deployments across the agency. "Building on our established presence in the federal law enforcement investigative environment, our rapidly expanding footprint in the broader federal market, including the Department of Defense (DoD), positions us to capitalize on the growing demand for AI-driven capabilities at the edge, an area where we have made significant investments. By transforming existing "dumb" sensors that require constant monitoring into autonomous systems that proactively alert users when specific conditions are met, we are not only revolutionizing homeland security, but also enhancing digital operations on battlefields worldwide," concluded Mr. Allen.

Announced that Matterport is contributing to the promotion of digital twin use by Tokyu Construction Co., Ltd., an advanced digital utilization company in civil engineering and infrastructure construction. Matterport's digital twin solutions are used in a wide range of phases of construction projects, including current status surveys, completed form management, streamlining and enhancing the scanning of point cloud data, and facilitating consensus building and communication among construction-related parties. In August, Matterport released its third Environmental, Social, and Governance Report which sets ambitious targets for the Company's top ESG priorities, including reducing emissions and fostering gender equality in the workplace. The new Report also showcases the Company's success helping its more than one million subscribers reduce their own carbon emissions by using Matterport's digital twins to reduce travel to the more than 13 million spaces that are on the Matterport digital twin platform. Transaction with CoStar Group, Inc. Given the pending acquisition of Matterport by CoStar Group, Inc. that was announced on April 22, 2024, Matterport will not be holding a conference call or live webcast to discuss quarterly financial results. Also, in light of the pending transaction, the Company had previously suspended its financial guidance for the full fiscal year 2024 and will not be providing financial guidance for the upcoming fiscal quarter. At a special meeting of stockholders held on July 26, 2024, Matterport stockholders approved the transaction with CoStar Group, Inc. The completion of the transaction remains subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period imposed by the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in Matterport's agreement with CoStar Group, Inc. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP Financial Information Matterport has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Matterport's financial condition and results of operations. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For further information regarding these non-GAAP measures, including the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the financial tables below. Non-GAAP Net Loss and Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share, Basic and Diluted. Matterport defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation-related charges (including share-based payroll tax expense), fair value change of warrants liability, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation expense, and acquisition-related transaction costs, in order to provide investors and management with greater visibility to the underlying performance of Matterport's recurring core business operations. We define non-GAAP net loss per share, as non-GAAP net loss divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding, which includes the dilutive effect of potentially diluted common stock equivalents outstanding during the period if any.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roadzen Inc. RDZN ("Roadzen" or the "Company"), a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, today announced its second quarter and six-month financial results for the period ended September 30, 2024. Rohan Malhotra, Founder and CEO of Roadzen, stated, "This quarter marked substantial progress in revenue acceleration, product development, and cost reduction. With 33% sequential revenue growth and a 25% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA loss from the prior quarter, we are advancing our long-term strategy. We expect revenue momentum to continue in the second half of FY25 as we aim to resume U.K. sales and pursue growth in the U.S. and India." Malhotra continued, "The verticalization of AI for legacy industries like insurance presents a generational opportunity, and our pioneering work at the convergence of AI, insurance and mobility delivers a better auto insurance experience to clients across the world. Our technology enables precise risk assessments, personalized pricing, real-time claims management, and accident prevention. The launch of MixtapeAI is one of our most significant product unveilings in recent years, and we are leveraging it to drive internal improvements, reduce operating costs, and transform customer interactions. Our shareholders have shown immense confidence in our vision to build one of the leading AI companies in the public markets, and we are committed to repaying that confidence through our execution." Roadzen's Chief Financial Officer, Jean-Noël Gallardo, added, "Our efforts on improving the Company's balance sheet yielded significant progress during the second quarter. Total accounts payable and accrued expenses were reduced by $4.0 million, an 11% decrease over the first quarter. We also continued to increase global operational efficiencies powered by our own AI models, enabling us to reduce headcount, consuming fewer resources while achieving results. Going forward, we expect to reap additional benefits from the continued optimization of our operations, which will be reflected in the second half of the year." Second Quarter and First Half Financial Highlights: Revenue and Key Performance Indicators Revenue for the second quarter totaled $11.9 million, an increase of 33% over the first quarter as the Company achieved organic growth across U.S. and India. Year-over-year, revenue for the quarter decreased by $3.6 million, or 23%, over the prior year quarter. Revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2024, was $20.8 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.3%, when compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease for both periods was primarily due to the temporary countrywide suspension of GAP insurance sales by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority for all insurance carriers. The Company is currently making plans to resume GAP product sales by the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.As of September 30, 2024, Roadzen had 34 insurance customer agreements (including carriers, self-insureds and other entities processing insurance claims), 74 automotive customer agreements, and approximately 3,550 agents and fleet customer agreements.Roadzen sold 70,618 policies during the second quarter generating $10.1 million of Gross Written Premium ("GWP"), compared to 78,009 policies in the prior fiscal year second quarter, producing $20.6 million of GWP, with the difference entirely coming from the U.K. market. In addition, 607,577 claims, roadside assistance and vehicle inspections were conducted during the three months ending September 30, 2024, compared to 406,897 for the same period in the prior year. Expenses and Net Results Operating expenses for the second quarter, excluding Cost of Services and Depreciation and Amortization, totaled approximately $30.0 million, an increase of $13.8 million compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to $20.7 million of non-cash equity compensation expense related to RSUs granted to employees a year ago, partially offset by a decrease in Sales & Marketing expenses in the U.K. while GAP product sales were temporarily halted.Operating expenses for the six-month period, excluding Cost of services and Depreciation and Amortization increased $40.5 million over the prior year six-month period to $63.4 million, reflecting $42.1 million in non-cash RSU employee compensation expense. The 9.9 million RSUs granted in September 2023 have been fully accounted for and will have no further impact on the Company's quarterly results; we will continue to incur expenses for newly issued RSUs.The Company reported Other Income of $1.5 million for the quarter, compared to Other Expense of $23.6 million the same quarter last year. The Company reported Other Expenses of $16.4 million and $23.7 million for the six-month periods ending September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $7.3 million decrease reflects lower non-cash fair market valuation adjustment in the current year period of $5.3 million partially offset by an increase of $613,000 in interest expense, primarily due to an increase in borrowings from banks.In total, the net loss for the second quarter of $21.8 million or $(0.32) per share includes $19.7 million of non-cash, non-recurring and other extraordinary items that, when excluded, result in an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.1 million, or $(0.03) per share. This compares to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.6 million or $(0.16) per share in the second quarter of the prior year and $2.9 million or $(0.04) per share in the first quarter.The Company's average monthly cash used in operating activities during the second quarter totaled approximately $1.9 million, an $82,000 decrease from the first quarter and a $3.2 million decrease over the same quarter last year, during which Roadzen had only just established operations in the U.S. and U.K. Balance Sheet Cash and equivalents at September 30, 2024 totaled $6.0 million, a decrease of $1.8 million as compared to the June 30, 2024 balance of $7.8 million.Assets totaled $29.1 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $34.1 million as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately 14.7% predominately due to a reduction in cash and a $2.5 million reduction in the prepayment balance resulting from a fair value adjustment of a forward purchase agreement.Total liabilities were $63.4 million at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $3.7 million from June 30, 2024 and $5.2 million less than March 31, 2024, predominately reflecting a $4.3 million reduction in payables and accrued expenses during the quarter. The Company's current liabilities totaled $61.0 million at September 30, 2024, which includes approximately $15.7 million in Accrued Expenses assumed by Roadzen in connection with the September 2023 Business Combination, and $13.2 million in liabilities to Mizuho Securities USA LLC ("Mizuho") that includes short-term borrowings of $11.5 million and a $1.7 million fair valuation of warrants granted as part of the Mizuho debt agreement.Long-Term debt totaled approximately $1.3 million at September 30, 2024, roughly in line with both year end and first quarter figures. Second Quarter Financial Developments The Company announced in a press release that it is focused on strengthening and right sizing the balance sheet while addressing the accrued expenses and stock considerations it inherited through its September 2023 business combination with Vahanna Tech Edge Acquisition I Corp. As previously announced, during the second quarter, Roadzen entered into definitive agreements with certain related parties including Avacara Pte Ltd, and Pi Capital International Inc. and its affiliate Marco Polo Securities, Inc., entities controlled by the CEO and the Chairman of Roadzen, respectively, to swap $3.5 million in debt for equity at $2.80 per share; Mizuho agreed to extend its $7.5 million senior secured 15% note and provided an additional $4.0 million in cash under the same terms, bringing the total principal to $11.5 million; and at the end of the second quarter, shareholders holding approximately 56 million shares of the Company agreed - with no additional considerations - to extend their lock-up agreements for another twelve months to September 20, 2025. Second Quarter FY2025 Operational Highlights New Product Launch - Subsequent Development October 30, 2024, Roadzen's AI Lab unveiled MixtapeAI, a platform designed to power AI agents and transform customer interactions in the insurance and mobility sectors.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA aids investors by providing an operating profit/loss without the impact of non- cash depreciation and amortization and certain other items to help clarify sustainability and trends affecting the business. For comparability of reporting, management considers non-GAAP measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial results in evaluating business performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used for, operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under GAAP. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. These limitations could reduce the usefulness of these non- GAAP financial measures as analytical tools. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTX) Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results - Syntec Optics Holdings (NASDAQ:OPTX)

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syntec Optics OPTX, a leading provider of mission-critical products to advanced technology defense, biomedical, and communications equipment manufacturers, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2024. Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights Net Sales of $7.86 million increased by 12.3% from $7.01 million in Q2 2024, and sales from products of $7.33 million increased by 17.2% from $6.26 million in Q3 2023.Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $1.10 million from $1.32 million in Q2 2024.Earnings per Share decreased to $0.00 from $0.01 in Q2 2024. Dean Rudy, CFO, said, "At the previous earnings call, we provided guidance for the third quarter 2024 revenue to be between $9.5 and $11.0 million. Our revenues came in below this projection at $7.86 million but 12.3% higher than the prior quarter, showing sequential growth. The company ramped up data center connectivity products for increased Artificial Intelligence deployment and continued its production of currently deployed night vision optics and opto-mechanicals, mission-critical biomedical products, space optics, and other diverse products." Strong End-Market Expansion: Continued production of space optics for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Satellite broadband could represent a significant portion of the $1 trillion global space economy by 2040.Ramped up production to nearly triple the quantity per week for the high-growth data center market driven by the deployment of Artificial Intelligence. The data center market is expected to reach $622.4 billion by 2030. Technological Leadership and Innovation: Delivered proof of concept for phase 1 advanced optical solutions, including high-performance, disposable optics for biomedical imaging with a multi-angled, wider field of view and increased imaging detail. SPIE assessed the 2021 photonics-enabled biomedical marketplace as $201 billion in total revenues.Delivered designs for complex optical systems, such as high numerical aperture lens systems for digital night vision. Third Quarter 2024 Financial and Operating Results The $7.86 million in net sales for the three months ending 2024 increased 12.3% compared to $7.01 million in Q2 2024. The overall sales increased by 19.2% compared to $6.60 million in Q3 2023, and sales from products increased by 19.9% as the company shifts from development to production ramp-up. The increase in net sales compared to the prior year is due to increases in our product revenue stream. Product revenue increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended 2024 compared to 2023, a 17.2% increase. The third quarter of 2024 adjusted EBITDA was $1.10 million for the three months ending 2024, compared to $1.32 million adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024 and $1.30 million in 2023. Contributing factors to the decrease over the previous quarter were a reduction in gross profit of $0.3 million, a reduction in other income of $0.3 million, and offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.3 million. Contributing factors to the year-over-year decrease include a $0.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses to enable future product launches. The Company ended the third quarter of 2024 with an unused $3.9 million line of credit, an unused $4.8 million equipment line of credit, and a paydown of 3.3% principal on other commercial bank lines. Our net income for the three months ended in the third quarter of 2024 was a negative $0.01 million, or $0.00 per share, down from $0.3 million or negative $0.01 per share for Q2 2024, and compared to $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share, for Q3 2023. Guidance Our recent increases in ongoing sales into the communications, medical, and defense industries are expected to accelerate in the third quarter, particularly within our space communications optics and datacom microlens arrays. As such, the fourth quarter 2024 revenue is expected to be in the range of $7.4 - $9.0 million. We expect our gross margin to hold level or slightly improve based on the profitability of ramping up products. General and administrative costs are expected to increase modestly to enable ramped-up engineering, quality, and pilot production to support continued growth in the fourth quarter. Looking to the first quarter of 2025, we anticipate continued strength from the communications and biomedical end-markets, with additional growth coming from defense-based product launches. Our products are propelled by tailwinds as we move towards laser-based satellite communications versus radar-based for low latency, biomedical automation, defense equipment modernization, and on-shoring. Mission-critical products use proprietary techniques that provide an economic moat. Lastly, we expect positive net income in the fourth quarter, enabling further investments to energize our continued growth. About Syntec Optics Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc.

Acrivon Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Business Highlights - Acrivon Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ACRV)

- Positive clinical data with confirmed overall response rate (ORR) = 62.5% (95% CI, 30.4-86.5) and prospective ACR-368 OncoSignature patient selection (p = 0.009) from ongoing ACR-368 registrational-intent Phase 2b endometrial cancer study presented at ESMO - Endometrial cancer, a tumor type identified by AP3 as particularly sensitive to ACR-368 treatment, represents the first potential approval opportunity for ACR-368, in second line, with options to move into the front-line setting being evaluated - Completed planned enrollment of first dose-escalation cohort in ongoing Phase 1 study of ACR-2316, company's second clinical stage asset, internally discovered using AP3 - Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $202.8 million as of September 30, 2024, expected to fund operations into the second half of 2026 WATERTOWN, Mass, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acrivon Therapeutics, Inc. ("Acrivon" or "Acrivon Therapeutics") ACRV, a clinical stage precision medicine company utilizing its Acrivon Predictive Precision Proteomics (AP3) platform for the discovery, design, and development of drug candidates through a mechanistic match to patients whose disease is predicted sensitive to the specific treatment, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and reviewed recent business highlights. "Our team continues to deliver impressive progress advancing a pipeline of differentiated clinical stage therapies," said Peter Blume-Jensen, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer, president, and founder of Acrivon. "During the third quarter, we shared promising data from our Phase 2b study of ACR-368, demonstrating a confirmed 62.5% ORR in patients with high-grade endometrial cancer - a tumor type identified by AP3 as sensitive to ACR-368. Equally important, we further validated our ACR-368 OncoSignature prospective patient selection with a p-value = 0.009. We continue to believe endometrial cancer provides the first potential approval opportunity for ACR-368. Our recently conducted, blinded KOL market research confirmed the significant unmet need for the approximately 30,000 annual new cases of high-grade endometrial cancer in the U.S., and we believe that ACR-368 could offer an important treatment option for this devastating disease. In addition, we advanced ACR-2316 into the clinic ahead of schedule in just 15 months from initial lead to Phase 1 trial initiation, uniquely enabled by AP3, with the planned first dose-escalation cohort now fully enrolled. These significant milestones underscore the power of our proprietary generative AI and machine learning-driven AP3 Interactome applied to our growing in-house data sets for streamlined drug discovery and clinical development." Recent Highlights Presented positive interim endometrial cancer data at the European Society for Medical Oncology congress (ESMO) and at a subsequent corporate event, from the ongoing, registrational-intent, multicenter Phase 2b trial of ACR-368 in patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma who had progressed on prior anti-PD-1 therapy, unless ineligible. Endometrial cancer had not been previously studied in prior ACR-368 trials sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Using AP3 for indication screening, this tumor type was predicted to be particularly sensitive to ACR-368 prior to the current ongoing Phase 2b study. The data were based on 35 safety-evaluable patients, of which 23 (8 OncoSignature-positive (BM+) and 15 OncoSignature-negative (BM-) patients) were efficacy-evaluable with at least one on-treatment scan (data cut-off July 25, 2024). Confirmed ORR, per RECIST 1.1, of 62.5% (95% CI, 30.4-86.5) was observed in the cohort of prospectively-selected BM+ patients who were efficacy-evaluable Median duration of response (mDOR) was not yet reached at the time of data cut-off (~6 months)All confirmed responders had progressed on prior chemo and anti-PD-1 therapy and best overall response (BOR) in last prior line was predominantly progressive disease (PD) in the confirmed ACR-368 respondersConsistent with the ACR-368 OncoSignature prediction being independent of genetic alterations and tissue type, confirmed responses were observed across molecular and histological subtypes Achieved statistically significant segregation of responders in BM+ versus BM- subgroups based on prospective OncoSignature patient selection (p-value = 0.009)Consistent with past trials and earlier reported data from this trial, the ACR-368 treatment-related adverse events (AEs) observed were limited, predominantly transient, reversible, mechanism-based hematological AEs, which typically occurred during the first 1-2 cycles of therapy. There was a notable absence of long-lasting myelosuppression, or the typical more severe non-hematological AEs commonly seen with antibody drug conjugates and chemotherapy. Provided a summary of company-conducted, blinded third-party KOL market research which showed strong interest in the emerging clinical profile of ACR-368 (product name blinded) as an important potential therapy in the rapidly evolving treatment landscape of high-grade, recurrent endometrial cancer where second-line options are now limited due to the recent approval of anti-PD-1 and chemotherapy as front-line therapy An estimated ~30K new cases of high-grade, locally advanced or metastatic, recurrent (progressed on anti-PD-1 and chemotherapy) endometrial cancer per year in the U.S. ~90% of these patients will progress to second lineThe recent approval of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy as a front-line treatment leaves a significant unmet need in the second line, where the bar based on reported chemotherapy efficacy in the second line is an ORR of 14.7% and median progress-free survival of 3.8 months (Makker et al; N Engl J Medicine, 2022), which potentially overestimates the current ORR for chemotherapy in the second line, given this was based on patients that had only received prior chemotherapy, but not prior anti-PD-1The company's ongoing single-arm, registrational-intent Phase 2b monotherapy trial in endometrial cancer represents the first potential accelerated approval opportunity for ACR-368The company is evaluating options to potentially move into the front-line setting as part of its confirmatory trial strategy Began dosing patients, two quarters ahead of original timelines, in the Phase 1 monotherapy clinical trial of ACR-2316, a potent, selective WEE1/PKMYT1 inhibitor designed by AP3 to overcome the limitations of single-target WEE1 and PKMYT1 inhibitors ACR-2316 was internally discovered and advanced in 15 months from initial lead to Phase 1 trial initiation, which was uniquely enabled by AP3The Phase 1 study will assess the safety and tolerability of ACR-2316. Additionally, the study will seek to establish the pharmacokinetic profile, evaluate preliminary anti-tumor activity and determine the recommended Phase 2 monotherapy dose. Dose optimization will be guided by drug target engagement in alignment with the Food and Drug Administration's Project Optimus. AP3-based indication finding and OncoSignature development is ongoing.Completed planned enrollment of the first patient cohort of the dose-escalation portion of the Phase 1 trial Presented multiple datasets demonstrating the deployment of the company's AP3 platform for streamlined, machine learning-driven drug discovery and clinical development at two scientific conferences - Human Proteome Organization World Congress and EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium AP3-identified clinical biomarkers for ACR-368 led to the development of the response-predictive ACR-368 OncoSignature assay which has shown statistically significant prospective validation and responder enrichment in the ongoing registrational-intent Phase 2b studyACR-2316 was uniquely enabled and optimized by AP3 to deliver superior single-agent activity, complete tumor regression and pro-apoptotic tumor cell death through potent activation of CDK1, CDK2, and PLK1 Anticipated Upcoming Milestones Provide program updates from our ongoing registrational-intent Phase 2b trial of ACR-368 in patients with gynecological cancers prospectively predicted sensitive to ACR-368 in the first half of 2025Report initial data from the Phase 1 clinical study of ACR-2316, which is enriched for tumor types predicted to be sensitive to monotherapy through AP3-based indication finding, in the second half of 2025Advance a new potential first-in-class cell cycle drug discovery program for an undisclosed target towards development candidate nomination in 2025 Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $22.4 million compared to a net loss of $14.5 million for the same period in 2023. Research and development expenses were $18.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $10.3 million for the same period in 2023. The difference was primarily due to the continued development of ACR-368 -- which included the progression of the ongoing clinical trial and the achievement of milestones for the companion diagnostic, the initiation of the ACR-2316 clinical trial in the third quarter of 2024, and increased personnel costs to support these development activities. General and administrative expenses were $6.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2023. The difference was primarily due to increased personnel costs, inclusive of non-cash stock compensation expense. As of September 30, 2024, the company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $202.8 million, which is expected to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2026. About Acrivon Therapeutics Acrivon is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing precision oncology medicines that it matches to patients whose tumors are predicted to be sensitive to each specific medicine by utilizing Acrivon's proprietary proteomics-based patient responder identification platform, Acrivon Predictive Precision Proteomics, or AP3. The AP3 platform is engineered to measure compound-specific effects on the entire tumor cell protein signaling network and drug-induced resistance mechanisms in an unbiased manner. These distinctive capabilities enable AP3's direct application for drug design optimization for monotherapy activity, the identification of rational drug combinations, and the creation of drug-specific proprietary OncoSignature companion diagnostics that are used to identify the patients most likely to benefit from Acrivon's drug candidates. Acrivon is currently advancing its lead candidate, ACR-368 (also known as prexasertib), a selective small molecule inhibitor targeting CHK1 and CHK2 in a registrational-intent Phase 2b trial across multiple tumor types. The company has received Fast Track designation from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the investigation of ACR-368 as monotherapy based on OncoSignature-predicted sensitivity in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian or endometrial cancer. Acrivon's ACR-368 OncoSignature test, which has not yet obtained regulatory approval, has been extensively evaluated in preclinical studies, including in two separate, blinded, prospectively-designed studies on pretreatment tumor biopsies collected from past third-party Phase 2 trials in patients with ovarian cancer treated with ACR-368. The FDA has granted Breakthrough Device designation for the ACR-368 OncoSignature assay for the identification of ovarian cancer patients who may benefit from ACR-368 treatment. The company reported positive clinical data for ovarian and endometrial cancers in April 2024, and in September 2024 it reported additional positive clinical data for endometrial cancer, including a confirmed overall response rate of 62.5% (95% CI, 30.4 - 86.5) and further validation of its prospective OncoSignature selection of patients predicted sensitive to ACR-368 by showing segregation of responders in OncoSignature-positive versus OncoSignature-negative patients (p = 0.009). The median duration of treatment was not yet reached, but the duration on study was 6 months at the time of the data cut. In addition to ACR-368, Acrivon is also leveraging its proprietary AP3 precision medicine platform for developing its co-crystallography-driven, internally-discovered pipeline programs. These include ACR-2316, the company's second clinical stage asset, a novel, potent, selective WEE1/PKMYT1 inhibitor designed for superior single-agent activity through strong activation of not only CDK1 and CDK2, but also of PLK1 to drive pro-apoptotic cell death, as demonstrated in preclinical studies against benchmark inhibitors. In addition, the company has a preclinical cell cycle program with an undisclosed target. Acrivon has developed AP3 Interactome, a proprietary, computational analytics platform driven by machine learning for integrated comprehensive analyses across all large, in-house AP3 phosphoproteomic drug profiling data sets to advance its in-house research programs.

Nauticus Robotics Announces Results for the Third Quarter of 2024 - Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ:KITT)

HOUSTON, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nauticus Robotics, Inc. KITT, a leading innovator in subsea robotics and software, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. John Gibson, Nauticus CEO, stated, "We committed to producing commercial revenue in the third quarter of 2024 with our Aquanaut Mark 2. We achieved that objective. Our first commercial project not only exceeded customer expectations but also secured additional work for the fourth quarter. With the 2024 work season in the Gulf of Mexico ending, we are now fully focused on building a robust pipeline of commercial opportunities for 2025. Nauticus' untethered, autonomous deepwater solutions have set us apart as the technical leader in this field, earning strong recognition from our customers. On the financial front, we raised over $1 million in cash through a tranche of convertible debentures, with the option to access an additional $20 million. Alongside converting existing debentures into preferred equity, these steps bolster our shareholder equity and position us to regain compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements. This access to additional funds provides a solid financial foundation to cement our position as a leader in the ocean economy." Operational Highlights Vehicle 2 Testing: Nauticus' flagship vehicle, Aquanaut Mark 2 (Vehicle 2), completed deepwater qualification trials and began commercial operations in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The vehicle completed offshore operations for 2024 and will now be readied for the upcoming 2025 offshore season. The success of the commercial work performed this year resulted in continued discussions with current as well as new customers for 2025 work. The pipeline for Aquanaut services remains strong and the company expects that customers will continue placing the vehicle into their offshore execution models. Vehicle 1 Assembly and Testing: Aquanaut Vehicle 1 deepwater electronics upgrades are complete and final assembly is expected to complete this month. Once the vehicle is fully assembled it is planned to ship to a testing facility to complete factory acceptance testing. We expect this to occur by the end of the year. Vehicle 3 Assembly: Assembly of Aquanaut Vehicle 3 remains pending. Company focus remained on Vehicles 1 and 2 throughout the quarter. Work on this vehicle is not expected until sometime in 2025. ToolKITT Software: ToolKITT performed reliably during Aquanaut vehicle operations this quarter. The team continues to progress the technology towards higher levels of autonomy and broader commercial functionality. ToolKITT is also expected to provide value added differentiation for third party platform integration. Discussions with third party ROV manufacturers and services providers are ongoing and Nauticus is targeting to sell its first commercial license in 2025. Revenue: Nauticus reported third-quarter revenue of $0.4 million, compared to $1.6 million for the prior-year period and $0.5 million for the prior quarter. Operating Expenses: Total expenses during the third quarter were $5.9 million, a $3.9 million decrease from the prior-year period, and a $0.6 million decrease from Q2 2024. Net Income: For the third quarter, Nauticus recorded a net loss of $11.4 million, or basic loss per share of $4.24. This compares with a net loss of $17.7 million from the same period in 2023, and a net loss of $5.4 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted Net Loss: Nauticus reported adjusted net loss of $11.4 million for the third quarter, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2023. Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP measure which excludes the impact of certain items, as shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table below. 2024 G&A Cost: Nauticus reported G&A third-quarter costs of $2.8 million, which is a decrease of $3.9 million compared to the same period in 2023 and an additional $0.4 million decrease from the second quarter. Balance Sheet and Liquidity As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 million, compared to $0.8 million as of December 31, 2023. Conference Call Details Nauticus will host a conference call on November 13, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time (11:00 a.m. EST) to discuss its results for the quarter ending September 30, 2024.

Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders (GAAP) to Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders (NON-GAAP) Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes certain items that are included in net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Items excluded are those which the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results and are typically excluded from published estimates by the investment community, including items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring. Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders is presented because management believes it provides useful additional information to investors for analysis of the Company's fundamental business on a recurring basis. In addition, management believes that adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies such as Nauticus. Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders or any other measure of a company's financial performance or profitability presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the differences between net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders is presented below. Because adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and may vary among companies, our calculation of adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Predictive Oncology Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Provides Strategic Update - Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ:POAI)

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predictive Oncology POAI, a science driven company leveraging its proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, extensive biorepository of tumor samples, and CLIA laboratory, to accelerate oncologic drug discovery and enable drug development, today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a corporate update. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of approximately $2.3 million on total revenue of $345,686 for the quarter. Predictive Oncology also announced today that the company's Board of Directors, working with a strategic advisor, has initiated a process to evaluate a broad range of strategic alternatives intended to maximize shareholder value. Possible alternatives can include, but are not limited to, a sale of the company, a sale of an asset or assets of the company, or a licensing transaction. There can be no assurance that a transaction will occur. Management plans to provide additional updates on this process as developments warrant. Q3 2024 and Recent Highlights: Announced the results of an additional study that successfully demonstrated the long-term stability and viability of the more than 150,000 cryopreserved patient tumor samples stored within the Company's proprietary biobank. The samples stored in the biobank had originally been tested and cryopreserved between 2008 and 2016.The samples continue to produce drug response data that is consistent with their original clinical testing results.Concordance of drug response results between the original fresh patient sample testing and long-term cryogenically stored tumor material from the same patient was 100%.Predictive Oncology released a new white paper that discusses this study, and the importance of tumor sample viability, which can be found here. Entered the $51.5 billion biomarker discovery market following compelling results from retrospective ovarian cancer study with UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital: Predictive Oncology published a white paper on the biomarker discovery opportunity, which can be found here. Implemented a cost savings initiative intended to further streamline Predictive Oncology's operations, extend its cash runway, and support its new focus on novel biomarker discovery. The initiative reduced the Company's run rate for cash used in operating activities by approximately 20% on an annualized basis.Raised additional funding of $1.3 million in July through a warrant inducement transaction. "The strategic repositioning of the company that I initiated upon assuming the role of CEO in October 2022 has led to significant opportunities, both as a partner to leading global drug developers as well as for our own platform," said Raymond F. Vennare, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Predictive Oncology. "This is highlighted by our announcement last quarter that, as a result of our successful work with UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, we expanded our AI/ML offering to pursue the discovery of novel biomarkers capable of predicting patient outcomes and drug responses, beginning with ovarian cancer. The implication here is notable in that, with our unique portfolio of assets that include our proprietary biobank of primary tumor samples and decades of drug response data, we are uniquely positioned to play a meaningful role in the early discovery of new cancer therapeutics as well as their ongoing development." "Notwithstanding our progress, we believe the opportunities in front of us are underappreciated by the capital markets, and in an effort to create sustained shareholder value, we have initiated a process to evaluate a broad range of strategic alternatives. Together with the cost savings initiative that we implemented last quarter that will reduce our cash burn by around 20% annually, we believe these actions have the potential to unlock significant value." "In parallel, we are engaged in ongoing discussions with several prospective partners that have the potential to generate revenue for our company should we be successful in executing one or more collaborations. We are well positioned to be a leader in the rapidly evolving field of AI-driven drug discovery and development," Mr. Vennare concluded. Considering Predictive Oncology's ongoing process to evaluate strategic alternatives, the Company has elected not to host an investor conference call this quarter. Predictive plans to host a corporate update call in the near future as developments warrant. Q3 2024 Financial Summary: Concluded the third quarter of 2024 with $3.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $8.7 million as of December 31, 2023, and $2.0 million in stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2024, compared to $8.3 million as of December 31, 2023. During the quarter, the Company raised $1.3 million in gross proceeds through the exercise of 958,117 warrants.Basic and diluted loss from continuing operations per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $(0.36), compared to $(0.68) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Q3 2024 Financial Results: The Company recorded revenue of $345,686 for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $676,626 for the comparable period in 2023. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily derived from the Eagan operating segment, while revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily derived from the Pittsburgh operating segment. The decrease in revenue from the comparative period was primarily due to decreased sales of tumor-specific 3D cell culture models from the Pittsburgh operating segment, offset by increased sales of STREAMWAY systems during the third quarter of 2024 from the Eagan operating segment.General and administrative expenses decreased by $761,949 to $1,582,671 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2,344,620 for the comparable period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreased employee compensation related to lower headcount related expenses and severance for former employees.Operations expenses decreased by $5,274 to $633,422 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $638,696 for the comparable period in 2023. The minor decrease was primarily due to decreased cloud computing expenses resulting from cost saving efforts, offset by increased costs associated with our Pittsburgh laboratory including supplies and maintenance.Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $87,789 to $246,650 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $334,439 for the comparable period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee compensation including sales commissions.Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $8,913,589 and $9,060,285 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Cash used in operating activities decreased in the 2024 period primarily because of changes in working capital.
