LifeYields API library, which serves the largest wealth management platforms in the world, has enhanced its multi-account and product overlay capabilities at client firms to guide action based on a bird's eye view of an investors household portfolio. These enhancements make it easy for LifeYields enterprise partners to coordinate multiple, complex accounts and trading systems to create improved investor outcomes where client financial benefits can be quantified in dollars and cents. For advisor clients, LifeYield has made many upgrades to its LifeYield Advantage Suite to help advisors engage website visitors, win new business and earn greater wallet share by showcasing improved after-tax returns and income. Greater Enterprise Support For Complex Households Comprehensive Household Management, or Householding, is the concept at the core of LifeYields offering where data is aggregated and coordinated across the entire household of client accounts to improve investor and advisor outcomes. Householding enables long-term asset allocation and tax-smart asset location to be optimized, as the portfolio is managed and rebalanced across all accounts over time. The objective is to maximize retirement income during the accumulation, ongoing management and drawdown phases of a clients life. LifeYields updated API catalog of overlay capabilities gives enterprise partners the flexibility to coordinate and optimize the tax efficiency of multiple accounts, no matter how complex. LifeYields partners can easily apply LifeYields householding technology to investor accounts requiring a mixture of order management systems, whether they are managed, models, or traded with discretion. The API updates also make it easier for enterprise partners to further enhance retirement income through tax-smart, multi-account withdrawals from taxable, tax-free and tax-deferred accounts. Our enterprise partners can now offer a household portfolio management ecosystem producing better results for investors and advisors. Our enhanced API capabilities give them greater freedom to use our tax efficiency software in a way that improves the user experience, and in dealing with existing trading technology. Most importantly, the enhancements help quantify the financial benefits while showing the client how to achieve those improvements on a step by step basis. This, in turn, produces better outcomes for the advisor, said Steve Zuschin, executive vice president, Advisor Success. LifeYield Advantage Suite Enhancements For Advisors LifeYields Advantage Suite serves independent advisors and RIAs. New upgrades have transformed LifeYields cloud-based, household management solution by upgrading the analysis and reporting capabilities of its software and by offering tools to grow an advisors book of business. Expanded Annuity Analysis LifeYields updates reveal new opportunities to enhance investors retirement income and start important conversations about financial goals. LifeYield can now measure the dollars-and-cents benefits and tax implications of any annuity vehicle as it is incorporated into a household portfolio, showing how annuities could improve a clients after-tax rate of return and the overall household portfolio tax efficiency. Modern annuities are designed to work best as part of a households portfolio to meet retirement income needs. LifeYields technology paves the way for a simple, transparent dialogue about how to coordinate investment and annuity vehicles to aid clients in reaching their goals. This new feature helps determine how much of the clients assets should be moved into an annuity, and the financial benefits of the decision. Placing the Advisors Value Front and Center Many clients hold assets with different advisors and custodians, such as in 401(k)s, bank accounts, and other external accounts. Upgrades to LifeYields analysis and reporting can help the advisor provide guidance on the investors overall tax efficiency, while enhancing the advisors ability to grow their business. LifeYield now considers held away accounts and shows the client how those assets would benefit from coordinated, household-level tax optimization. When considering an IRA rollover, this creates a direct, potent appeal for investors to consolidate with a LifeYield user, as they can immediately see a projection of the extra potential retirement income they would realize as a result of the consolidation. Additional new outputs include a Proposal report to show prospects the benefits of tax optimization; a direct Client Review report to illustrate an investors asset allocation and progress; and a more intuitive Social Security report, designed to display benefits and drive action. Reporting enhancements coincide with new, website-ready widgets, as digital prospecting efforts become a top priority for growing advisory firms. Advisors can immediately show the bottom-line value they can add to an investors retirement income. These digital marketing tools are now available for LifeYield partners to embed into their websites to convert web traffic. One calculator computes an estimate of extra income that could be earned through optimizing for asset location. Another calculator estimates the added retirement income clients and prospects could receive by working with an advisor using LifeYields Social Security Advantage optimizer. Householding technology has taken on new relevance this year as a way for advisors to maximize the value of the things under their complete control, such as cost, risk, tax efficiency and how to maximize their Social Security benefits, Zuschin said. With these enhancements, advisors can easily show prospects what they can accomplish together and explore a greater range of retirement income solutions and their quantified impact on client portfolios.

About LifeYield LifeYield, the financial services leader in household-level management, helps advisors maximize retirement income for clients. From accumulation through withdrawal, the LifeYield Advantage Suite uses the industry-leading Taxficient Score to illustrate tax efficiency and improve asset location across IRAs, 401(k)s and taxable accounts to boost client returns. Its intuitive Social Security Advantage software helps over 80,000 advisors plan optimal retirement income strategies and filing benefits for clients as they approach retirement.

The same amount of respondents believe that COVID-19 is a \"real threat.\" At the same time, concern for the environment remains strikingly powerful2, pointing towards a dilemma in consumers' minds as they try to balance the critical priorities of human existence through safe food and sustainability of our planet. The Tetra Pak Index, in its 13th edition, uncovers a 10% increase in global concern about food safety and future food supplies, now at 40%, compared to 30% from 2019. In addition, more than 50% of consumers not only believe that improving food safety is the responsibility of manufacturers, they see it as the number one issue that companies need to tackle now and in the future. According to this year's research, health is deeply connected to heightened issues of food safety and hygiene, with two-thirds of consumers saying that being healthy is being safe and 60% of consumers globally saying they worry about the food they buy being hygienic and safe. When asked what is key for them in a package, consumers indicate that ensuring food safety is its main purpose. They also express concerns about environmental innovations in packaging impacting food safety, even though the majority of respondents indicate 'using sustainable packaging' as one of the top issues food and beverage brands need to tackle today and tomorrow. Adolfo Orive, President and CEO, Tetra Pak, comments: \"The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the status quo, accelerated trends and created a new landscape of consumer needs and opportunities for companies to build on. In particular, the industry needs to address the growing dilemma around food safety and the environment, stepping up towards the twin goals of meeting the human need for food while protecting our planet's ecosystem. This is where food packaging can play a strong role in bringing about harmony. Working closely with our customers and stakeholders, we are already on a journey to create the ultimate sustainable food package - a carton package that is made solely from responsibly sourced renewable or recycled materials, is fully recyclable and carbon-neutral, allowing ambient distribution and meeting food safety requirements. We see this as a critical step in building a sustainable future for the next generation, especially in the aftermath of COVID-19.\" The Tetra Pak Index 2020 also highlights how food waste is rising up the agenda and is now seen as a concern by more than three-quarters of respondents. The impact of COVID-19 on supply chains has accelerated awareness of food waste as a pressing issue. There is a likelihood that this sentiment will grow going forward, as the world strives to feed its growing population. Consumers cite food waste reduction as both the number one environmental issue they can influence themselves and one of the top three priorities for manufacturers. But confusing labelling is a barrier, offering brands a chance for better communication. Dan Esty, Hillhouse Professor at Yale University, comments:\"This year's Tetra Pak Index highlights emerging consumer and social concerns that we see increasingly mirrored by academic research. With a growing global population set to require up to 70% more food by 2050, at a time when biodiversity, climate change and food security are becoming ever more pressing, there is an urgent need for change. Bold initiatives such as those taken by Tetra Pak to rethink future food packaging are therefore the need of the hour.\"Notes to EditorsView or download the Tetra Pak Index 2020 here.

The report delivers an in-depth understanding of the GA, historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the GA market trends in the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom), and Japan. The GA market report provides current treatment practices, emerging drugs, GA market share of the individual therapies, current and forecasted GA market size from 2017 to 2030 segmented by seven major markets. The report also covers current GA treatment practice/algorithm, market drivers, market barriers and unmet medical needs to curate best of the opportunities and assesses underlying potential of the market.EpidemiologyThe GA epidemiology division provides the insights about historical and current GA patient pool and forecasted trend for each seven major countries. It helps to recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends along with assumptions undertaken.Key FindingsThe total prevalent cases of GA in the 7MM were found to be 2,726,453 in 2017 which is expected to grow during the study period, i.e., 2017-2030.The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted GA epidemiology [segmented as Total Prevalent Cases of GA, Total Diagnosed Cases of GA, Total Diagnosed cases of GA by Age Distribution, Total Geographic Atrophy Cases by Visual Impairment, and Total Treated Cases of GA] scenario of GA in the 7MM covering United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom), and Japan from 2017 to 2030.Drug ChaptersDrug chapter segment of the GA report encloses the detailed analysis of GA marketed drugs and late stage (Phase-III and Phase-II) pipeline drugs. It also helps to understand the GA clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, approval and patent details, advantages and disadvantages of each included drug and the latest news and press releases.Emerging DrugsPegcetacoplan (APL-2): Apellis PharmaceuticalsPegcetacoplan (formerly known as APL-2), is under development by Apellis Pharmaceuticals. It is an investigational, targeted C3 inhibitor designed to regulate excessive complement activation, which can lead to the onset and progression of many serious diseases. Pegcetacoplan is a type of synthetic cyclic peptide conjugated to a polyethylene glycol polymer that binds specifically to C3 and C3b.Currently two phase III trial is ongoing for GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The Phase III program in GA consists of two 600-patient prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, sham-injection controlled trials to assess the efficacy and safety of multiple intravitreal injections of pegcetacoplan in patients with GA, with the goal of enrolling a total of 1,200 patients across approximately 200 sites worldwide. Company refers to these trials as the DERBY and OAKS trials. Company dosed the first patient in Phase III trials in September 2018. It is expected that both trials will be fully enrolled by the end of the first half of 2020 and anticipated announcement of data from these trials will be in mid-2021.In July 2018, the US FDA granted fast track designation to Pegcetacoplan for GA.In November 2014, Apellis Pharmaceuticals entered into an agreement to acquire Potentia Pharmaceuticals. As part of the acquisition agreement, Apellis obtained the necessary intellectual property rights to develop its complement inhibitor drug compound (APL-2) in ophthalmology.Zimura (avacincaptad pegol): Iveric Bio (formerly Ophthotech Corporation)Zimura also known as avacincaptad pegol, is under development by Iveric Bio. It is designed to target and inhibit complement factor C5. Complement factor C5 is a central component of the complement cascade and is believed to be involved in the development and progression of dry AMD.The drug is currently in Phase IIb trial for the treatment of patients with GA Secondary to Dry AMD. However, in January 2020, the Company announced the design of second Phase III clinical trial of Zimura in geographic atrophy secondary to AMD, ISEE2008. In March 18, 2020, the Company announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it had decided to delay the initiation of patient enrollment in the ISEE2008 trial, which was otherwise on track to begin in March 2020. The Company continues to monitor the situation closely in the United States and abroad to determine when enrollment should begin.The Company expected topline 18-month data from its first Phase III clinical trial evaluating Zimura for the treatment of GA secondary to AMD, OPH2003, will be available by the end of the second quarter of 2020. The primary purpose of the 18-month time point is to gather additional safety data.In April 2020, the US FDA granted Fast Track designation to Zimura for the treatment of GA secondary to AMD.ALK-001: Alkeus PharmaceuticalsAlkeus' drug candidate, ALK-001, is a once-a-day oral drug candidate currently being tested for the treatment of GA, which offers a chemically modified version of the vitamin that is designed to reduce the formation of those toxic clumps. ALK-001 works by replacing the C20 hydrogen atoms of vitamin A with deuterium atoms which makes cleavage of the carbon-hydrogen bond more difficult, thereby reduces Vitamin A dimerization and lipofuscin.The company has completed a phase I clinical study (NCT02230228) which was conducted to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of ALK-001 in healthy volunteer. At present, a Phase III (NCT03845582; Recruiting) multicenter, randomized, double-masked, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study is ongoing to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, tolerability, and efficacy of ALK-001 in GA Secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration.In January 2011, Alkeus Pharmaceuticals and Columbia University entered into a license agreement for a set of potential therapies for the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration (dry-AMD), Stargardt disease, and other degenerative diseases of the eye.HMR59 (AAVCAGsCD59): Hemera BiosciencesHMR59 (HMR-1001; AAVCAGsCD59) is Hemera's one-time gene therapy that works by causing retina cells to continuously produce a soluble protein called CD59 (sCD59) that blocks the final step of the complement cascade. This drug is currently being evaluated in the US FDA approved clinical trials to treat both dry and wet AMD. Macular degeneration is felt to be caused by an over activity of an inflammation cascade called complement.In preclinical testing, AAVCAGsCD59 injected in the vitreous of mice 14 days prior to laser CNV reduced CNV formation by ~60% and MAC formation by ~70%. Hemera Biosciences's expecting to initiate a Phase II (NCT04358471; Not yet recruiting) multi-center trial in June 30, 2020, evaluating intravitreal AAVCAGsCD59 compared to sham injection for the treatment of advanced dry AMD with GA. The one-year key findings of a Phase I dose-escalation trial of HMR59 in dry AMD have shown about a 25% reduction in the growth rate of GA.Market OutlookAt present, the therapeutic landscape of GA is devoid of any approved treatment, and to manage this indication, and there is a substantial unmet need for a therapy to slow its worsening. The pathophysiology of GA is poorly understood. Although correlative evidence for complement, inflammation, and GA pathology has been found in human tissues, a causative role for complement, or for inflammation in general, can be demonstrated only in appropriate preclinical models of GA.The current standard of Care is observation, and besides high doses of antioxidant vitamin, zinc supplements are found to produce a beneficial effect in slowing the progression of d-AMD. In the absence of any treatment and because of a poor correlation between BCVA and GA lesions or progression, a multimodal imaging approach is necessary to better follow up GA patients.Several companies tried to develop a drug for this condition, but failed. One such example is Lampalizumab (Genentech/Roche). This drug blocks a region on factor D that is an important binding site for factor B. As a result, factor B cannot be cleaved therefore inhibits the alternate complement pathway.In September 2017, press releases from Roche and Genentech announced that two phase III clinical trials of lampalizumab (Spectri and Chroma), failed to meet their primary end point of reducing mean change in GA lesion area after 48 weeks when compared with sham treatment.At present several pharmaceutical companies are working for the development of novel approach to treat this condition. Key players like Apellis Pharmaceuticals (Pegcetacoplan; APL-2), Alkeus Pharmaceuticals (ALK-001), Iveric bio (formerly Ophthotech Corporation; Zimura), Genentech (Roche; RO7171009; RG6147), Ionis Pharmaceuticals./ Roche (IONIS-FB-LRx), Hemera Biosciences (HMR59), Allegro Ophthalmics(Risuteganib), Stealth BioTherapeutics (Elamipretide), Janssen Research & Development (Palucorcel; CNTO 2476), Regenerative Patch Technologies (CPCB-RPE1), CellCure Neurosciences (OpRegen), Gyroscope Therapeutics (GT005), and others.Key FindingsThe therapeutic market of GA in the seven major markets was USD 276 million in 2017 which is expected to increase during study period (2017-2030). According to the estimates, the highest market size of GA is found in the United States followed by the UK and France. In case of clinical trials of emerging therapies, no active companies in this space currently focusing on Japan and also no visibility around the launch scenarios in Japan hence emerging therapies launch is not considered in Japan.The United States Market OutlookIn 2017, the total market size of GA therapies was USD 181 million in the United States which is expected to increase in the study period (2017-2030).EU-5 Countries: Market OutlookIn 2017, the total market size of GA therapies was USD 83 million in the EU-5 countries which is expected to increase in the study period (2017-2030).Japan Market OutlookThe total market size of GA therapies in Japan was USD 12 million in 2017.Pipeline Development ActivitiesThe drugs which are in pipeline include:1. Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) (Apellis Pharmaceuticals): Phase III2. ALK-001 (Alkeus Pharmaceuticals): Phase III3. Zimura (avacincaptad pegol) [Iveric bio (formerly Ophthotech Corporation)]: Phase IIb4. RO7171009 (RG6147) [Roche (Genentech)]: Phase II5. IONIS-FB-LRx (Ionis Pharmaceuticals./Roche): Phase II6. AAVCAGsCD59 (HMR59) (Hemera Biosciences): Phase II7. Risuteganib (Allegro Ophthalmics): Phase II8. Elamipretide (Stealth BioTherapeutics): Phase II9. Palucorcel (CNTO 2476) (Janssen Research & Development): Phase IIDrugs UptakeHMR59 (Gene Therapy) expected to generate highest market size owing to one time treatment approach, expected premium pricing and impressive early stage efficacy data.Furthermore, there are no significant differences seen in the available efficacy results of APL-2 and Zimura; but Zimura owing to better safety profile expected to have slight edge over APL-2. So, Zimura is expected to generate second highest revenue in the total GA market.Access and Reimbursement Scenario According to findings from the secondary domain, for access and reimbursement of therapies in GA; the change in the BCVA and GA lesions or progression will consider as the optimal primary efficacy measure in GA. The advanced form of AMD is divided into two forms, one of them is GA and another one is Wet AMD. It is worthy to mention here that the patient pool of wet AMD and GA is in similar lines; so we can predict the similar access and reimbursement scenario for upcoming emerging GA therapies. Talking about the assessment by HTA bodies for wet AMD, therapies like Eylea (Aflibercept) and Lucentis (ranibizumab injection) we have explored and have analyzed the reaction of HTA bodies in case of wet AMD. HTA assessment analysis has also provide some directions around the estimated cost of treatment and how these bodies expected to react around GA therapies due to lack of any precedence of approval or assessment in GA. In the case of Eylea, in July 2013, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended Eylea as an option for treating wet AMD. In March 2013, the German HTA body IQWiG released a statement claiming that, following an assessment of the benefits of Eylea, current data was unable to prove the drug was superior to Novartis' Lucentis (ranibizumab) in the treatment of wet AMD. In May 2012, Lucentis was recommended by NICE as an option for the treatment of wet AMD. KOL ViewsTo keep up with current market trends, we take KOLs and SME's opinion working in GA domain through primary research to fill the data gaps and validate our secondary research. Their opinion helps to understand and validate current and emerging therapies treatment patterns or GA market trend. This will support the clients in potential upcoming novel treatment by identifying the overall scenario of the market and the unmet needs.Prof. Medical Director, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Bonn, Germany Views: GA is not under diagnosed, at least not to a large extent At present, one could speculate on the aspect that emerging drug will target a specific target population or there will be any eligibility criteria. I am not aware of any specific criteria for eligibility once an effective Tx may become available Perhaps, complement therapy will only work in subject with genetic risk polymorphism in the complement pathway Competitive Intelligence AnalysisThe publisher performs Competitive and Market Intelligence analysis of the GA Market by using various Competitive Intelligence tools that includes - SWOT analysis, PESTLE analysis, Porter's five forces, BCG Matrix, Market entry strategies etc. The inclusion of the analysis entirely depends upon the data availability.Scope of the Report The report covers the descriptive overview of GA, explaining its causes, signs and symptoms, pathophysiology and currently available therapies. Comprehensive insight has been provided into the GA epidemiology and treatment in the 7MM. Additionally, an all-inclusive account of both the current and emerging therapies for GA is provided, along with the assessment of new therapies, which will have an impact on the current treatment landscape. A detailed review of GA market; historical and forecasted is included in the report, covering drug outreach in the 7MM. The report provides an edge while developing business strategies, by understanding trends shaping and driving the global GA market. Report Highlights In the coming years, GA market is set to change due to the rising awareness of the disease and incremental healthcare spending across the world; which would expand the size of the market to enable the drug manufacturers to penetrate more into the market. The companies and academics are working to assess challenges and seek opportunities that could influence GA R&D. The therapies under development are focused on novel approaches to treat/improve the disease condition. Major players are involved in developing therapies for GA. Launch of emerging therapies, will significantly impact the GA market. A better understanding of disease pathogenesis will also contribute to the development of novel therapeutics for GA. Our in-depth analysis of the pipeline assets across different stages of development (Phase III and Phase II), different emerging trends and comparative analysis of pipeline products with detailed clinical profiles, key cross-competition, launch date along with product development activities will support the clients in the decision-making process regarding their therapeutic portfolio by identifying the overall scenario of the research and development activities.

The global weigh-in-motion system market is projected to reach USD 1,730 million by 2027 from USD 858 million in 2020, at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period. To make transportation safe, more efficient, and sustainable, the governments of various countries such as the US, China, Japan, and many European countries have defined a roadmap for intelligent transportation infrastructure. For instance, the ITS Strategic Plan 2015-2019, started by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT), focuses on intelligent vehicles, intelligent infrastructure, and the creation of intelligent transportation systems. In the fiscal year 2020, the US Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) grants worth USD 49.6 million to 10 projects using advanced intelligent transportation systems (ITS) that will improve mobility and safety and support vehicle connectivity. The Virginia Department of Transportation (US) issued an order worth USD 135.9 million to construct a 6.24-mile long bypass for Rout6e 29 in Charlottesville (US) and Albemarle County (US). It planned to install an ITS and traffic control devices on the 6.24-mile long bypass. In FY 2020, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) issued an order worth USD 6 million for the Integrated Safety Technology Corridor project. In 2015, the Government of the Netherlands announced substantial investments in 12 regions and allocated more than USD 77.7 million for ITS until 2018, which involved the use of innovative technologies for traffic management, leading to better traffic distribution. Further, the Delhi government (India) planned to invest about USD 1 billion in 2019 in intelligent traffic management systems, with an aim to renovate the existing traffic system. ITS applications offer benefits of combining information, data processing, communication, and sensor technology and apply them to vehicles and traffic infrastructure and management software to provide a more efficient transport network. A WIM system enables intelligent use of the available transportation infrastructure and vehicles by allowing real-time information and data flow. The system collects data from sensors located in or above the infrastructure. It helps in smooth traffic flow, increases road safety by identifying overweight vehicles, and reduces road wear over a period. Thus, the growing demand for ITS all over the world is expected to drive the WIM market during the forecast period. Globally, the traffic data collection segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period The traffic data collection system provides real-time monitoring of specific situations and road areas, such as toll highways, bridges, and underpasses, with the help of dedicated video devices. The system extracts useful information about road mobility and traffic, helps enhance road safety, and gives information to users. Thus, the traffic data collection segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. Europe is projected to be the largest regional market In 2020, Europe is estimated to dominate the market for weigh-in-motion systems. The region is expected to be a key revenue pocket for the weigh-in-motion market with growing investments by regional governments for transportation infrastructure development projects in national and international highways. Moreover, Europe is dominated by the high-speed weigh-in-motion system, which costs 50-60% higher than low-speed systems. Furthermore, a major reason for the European dominance of the weigh-in-motion system market is the free trade agreements between the EU countries.

(NYSE: CTT) today reported second quarter 2020 results in line with our expectations, which bolstered meeting its full-year operating plan. The company also declared a cash dividend of $0.135 per share for its common stockholders of record on August 31, 2020, payable on September 15, 2020. Second Quarter and Half Year 2020 Results For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, CatchMark: Generated revenues of $21.8 million compared to $28.7 million in second quarter 2019, a decrease primarily related to reduced timberland sales given constraints in completing transactions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Decreased net loss on a GAAP basis by $24.4 million to $6.2 million from $30.6 million in second quarter 2019, primarily due to a $26.3 million decrease in losses allocated from the Triple T joint venture. Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $9.4 million compared to $15.1 million in second quarter 2019, a decrease primarily from reduced timberland sales. For the second quarter, year-over-year Harvest EBITDA increased by 1% to $7.4 million, Real Estate EBITDA decreased by 80% to $1.6 million, and Investment Management EBITDA increased by 1% to $2.8 million. Produced timber sales revenue of $16.2 million consistent with the $16.3 million generated in second quarter 2019. Increased total harvest volume by 15% to 567,908 tons from 494,626 tons in second quarter 2019 primarily by capitalizing on increasing mill demand driven by robust sales of home remodeling and improvement products during the pandemic. Sold 1,100 acres for $1.7 million compared to 4,000 acres for $8.2 million in second quarter 2019, a decrease of $6.6 million in timberland sales revenue due to a decrease in transactions as a result of pandemic-related constraints. The lower per-acre sales price $1,564 compared to $2,072 resulted from selling timberlands with a lower percentage of pine plantations as part of strategic culling as well as from CatchMark retaining through timber reservations 25,000 tons of merchantable inventory with a 62% sawtimber mix. Generated $2.9 million in asset management fee revenues from the Triple T and Dawsonville Bluffs joint ventures, consistent with the prior year period. Paid a dividend of $0.135 per share to stockholders of record on June 15, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, CatchMark: Generated revenues of $48.7 million compared to $51.2 million for the first six months of 2019 as higher timber sales revenue from increased harvest volumes was offset by reduced timberland sales revenue. Incurred a net loss of $10.4 million on a GAAP basis compared to $61.0 million in first half 2019, primarily due to a $53.8 million decrease in losses allocated from the Triple T joint venture. Realized Adjusted EBITDA of $22.3 million compared to $25.2 million for first half 2019. Harvest EBITDA increased by 10% to $16.0 million up from $14.5 million for first half 2019 due to increased timber sales from higher harvest volumes. Real Estate EBITDA declined to $6.1 million from $9.8 million due to reduced timberland sales; and Investment Management EBITDA decreased to $5.7 million from $6.2 million as a result of lower income from the Dawsonville Bluffs joint venture, which effectively roundtripped in the third quarter 2019. Increased timber sales revenue by 5% to $34.3 million up from $32.8 million for the first six months of 2019 as timber sales volume increased by 18% to 1.2 million tons from 1.0 million tons. Sold 4,100 acres of timberlands for $6.5 million compared to 4,900 acres for $10.3 million in first half 2019. The lower year-over-year, per-acre sales price resulted from lower average merchantable inventory stocking levels 20 tons per acre compared to 31 tons per acre for prior year sales as well as from CatchMark retaining through timber reservations 0.1 million tons of merchantable inventory with a 52% sawtimber mix. Generated $5.8 million in asset management fee revenues from the Triple T and Dawsonville Bluffs joint ventures, a 3% increase from the same period prior year due to earning incentive-based promotes for Dawsonville Bluffs for exceeding investment return hurdles. Brian M. Davis, CatchMark's Chief Executive Officer, said: \"We delivered a strong second quarter from our harvest operations, managing effectively through the pandemic, and our outlook remains cautiously optimistic about the remainder of the year for meeting our operating plan, colored by the unpredictable impacts of COVID-19. In particular during the quarter, we stepped up harvests in the U.S. South to capitalize on consistent mill uptime and increasing demand for both pulpwood and sawtimber products after initial pullbacks by customers due to uncertainty related to the pandemic. We also closed nearly $2 million of timberland sales during the quarter, ahead of plan, but below the results of a typical quarter due to the pandemic. Working with an active transaction pipeline, we expect to normalize timberland sales during the second half of the year weighted to the fourth quarter. We also expect to benefit going forward from solid housing demand fundamentals and the recent rebound in homebuying.\" During the second quarter, CatchMark's Triple T joint venture, which invests with institutional partners in 1.1 million acres of Texas timberlands, renegotiated its wood supply agreement with Georgia-Pacific. The renegotiated agreement allows Triple T to achieve market-based pricing on timber sales, increases Triple T's reimbursement for extended haul distances, allows Triple T to sell sawtimber to other third parties, and expands Triple T's ability to sell large timberland parcels to third-party buyers. In connection with amending the Georgia-Pacific wood supply agreement, CatchMark invested an additional $5.0 million in the Triple T joint venture on the same terms and conditions as its existing investment and the asset management agreement between CatchMark and Triple T was amended to increase CatchMark's fees for the next two years. Davis said: \"The Triple T amendment was a big accomplishment during the quarter. Triple T, meanwhile, continues to operate to plan. We also will continue to concentrate on achieving our overriding goals of expanding CatchMark's ownership of prime timberlands in high-demand mill markets and managing our operations to generate predictable and stable cash flow throughout the business cycle, supporting our dividend.\" Operations Strong demand for home remodeling and improvement products by homeowners during the pandemic resulted in consistent mill uptime in CatchMark markets during the second quarter. As a result, CatchMark's harvest volumes increased 14% year-over-year in the U.S. South, driven by a 69% increase in stumpage sales, including to key customers outside of existing supply agreements. CatchMark's second quarter 2020 realized stumpage prices for pulpwood and sawtimber continued to hold a significant premium over South-wide averages as a result of assembling prime timberlands in strong micro markets. Realized stumpage prices for pulpwood and sawtimber were 12% and 8% lower, respectively, compared to second quarter 2019, trending with 12% and 13% decreases in South-wide average prices as tracked by TimberMart-South. Pacific Northwest harvest volumes increased ahead of plan to 21,260 tons from 14,513 tons in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Todd P. Reitz, CatchMark's Chief Resources Officer, said: \"Our delivered wood crews were well positioned to respond to increasing mill needs that lined up nicely with our thinning and harvesting plans and we were able to negotiate more volume for the quarter from our mill customers. Again, our presence in strong mill markets and our emphasis on delivered wood sales gave us an advantage in supplying mills in a very tight inventory environment. In the Pacific Northwest, improving fundamentals created opportunity to sell into demand from key regional players.\" Capital Position and Share Repurchases During the second quarter, CatchMark amended its credit agreement with CoBank: removing a reduction in the LTV ratio covenant which would have been effective at the end of 2021, increasing working capital by removing the minimum liquidity balance covenant, and enabling additional investments in joint ventures. The multi-draw term facility commitment was reduced from $200 million to $150 million which lowered unused commitment fees while still providing ample liquidity for future acquisitions. CatchMark borrowed $5.0 million under the multi-draw term facility during the quarter to fund its additional equity investment in the Triple T joint venture. The asset management agreement amendment with Triple T, increasing CatchMark's fees over the next two years, is CAD accretive for the company. As of June 30, 2020, CatchMark had $150.9 million of borrowing capacity remaining under its credit facilities, consisting of $115.9 million under the multi-draw term facility and $35.0 million under the revolving credit facility. Ursula Godoy-Arbelaez, CatchMark's Chief Financial Officer, said: \"After these amendments and transactions, we continue to have ample liquidity for important growth initiatives and other capital allocation priorities, including direct acquisitions and joint venture investments.\" During the quarter, CatchMark repurchased 8,648 shares under its share repurchase program for $67,108 and has $13.7 million remaining in the program for future repurchases as of June 30, 2020. Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $21.8 million, $6.9 million lower than the three months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of a $6.6 million decrease in timberland sales revenue and a $0.3 million decrease in other revenues. Timberland sales revenue decreased due to selling fewer acres in the current quarter with a lower per-acre sales price as a result of retaining 25,000 tons of merchantable inventory through timber reservations and selling timberlands with lower percentage of pine plantation. Other revenues were higher in 2019 due to a $0.3 million gain from an early lease termination. Three Months EndedJune 30, 2019 Changes attributable to: Three Months EndedJune 30, 2020 (in thousands) Price/Mix Volume Timber sales (1) Pulpwood $ 8,239 $ (579) $ 381 $ 8,041 Sawtimber (2) 8,034 (630) 728 8,132 $ 16,273 $ (1,209) $ 1,109 $ 16,173 (1) Timber sales are presented on a gross basis. (2) Includes chip-n-saw and sawtimber. Net loss decreased by $24.4 million to $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $30.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to a $26.3 million decrease in losses allocated from the Triple T joint venture, offset by a $1.1 million decrease in net timberland sales. Results for Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $48.7 million, $2.5 million lower than the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of a $3.9 million decrease in timberland sales revenue offset by a $1.5 million increase in timber sales revenue. Timberland sales revenue decreased due to selling fewer acres in the first half of 2020, with a lower per-acre sales price as a result of timber reservations and a lower average merchantable inventory stocking level. Gross timber sales revenue increased 5% primarily as a result of a $1.8 million increase in timber sales revenue from the Pacific Northwest driven by volume increases. Six Months EndedJune 30, 2019 Changes attributable to: Six Months EndedJune 30, 2020 (in thousands) Price/Mix Volume Timber sales (1) Pulpwood $ 16,972 $ (1,147) $ 29 $ 15,854 Sawtimber (2) 15,852 (955) 3,588 18,485 $ 32,824 $ (2,102) $ 3,617 $ 34,339 (1) Timber sales are presented on a gross basis. (2) Includes chip-n-saw and sawtimber. Net loss decreased by $50.5 million to $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $61.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to a $53.8 million decrease in losses allocated from the Triple T joint venture, offset by a $3.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to non-recurring post-employment benefits related to the retirement of the company's former CEO in January 2020. Adjusted EBITDA The discussion below is intended to enhance the reader's understanding of our operating performance and ability to satisfy lender requirements. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance. EBITDA is defined by the SEC as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; however, we have excluded certain other expenses which we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our timberland portfolio, and we refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA (see the reconciliation table below). As such, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Due to the significant amount of timber assets subject to depletion, significant income (losses) from unconsolidated joint ventures based on hypothetical liquidation book value, or HLBV, and the significant amount of financing subject to interest and amortization expense, management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure of our financial performance. By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with the reconciliation below, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our ongoing results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for net income, cash flow from operations, or other financial statement data presented in accordance with GAAP in our consolidated financial statements as indicators of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, or our future requirements for capital expenditures; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on, our debt; Although depletion is a non-cash charge, we will incur expenses to replace the timber being depleted in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all cash requirements for such expenses; Although HLBV income and losses are primarily hypothetical and non-cash in nature, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash income or losses from unconsolidated joint ventures for which we use the HLBV method of accounting to determine our equity in earnings; and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to fund post-employment benefits or transaction costs related to acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or new business initiatives, which may be substantial. Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Our credit agreement contains a minimum debt service coverage ratio based, in part, on Adjusted EBITDA since this measure is representative of adjusted income available for interest payments. We further believe that our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measurement provides information that is useful to analysts and investors because they are important indicators of the strength of our operations and the performance of our business. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was $9.4 million, a $5.7 million decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $6.3 million decrease in net timberland sales, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in general and administrative expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was $22.3 million, a $2.9 million decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $3.7 million decrease in net timberland sales, a $0.6 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA generated by the Dawsonville Bluffs joint venture and a $0.3 million decrease in other revenues, offset by a $1.8 million increase in net timber sales. Our reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net loss $ (6,183) $ (30,565) $ (10,432) $ (60,960) Add: Depletion 6,707 6,030 13,648 11,298 Interest expense (1) 3,006 4,395 6,256 8,767 Amortization (1) 1,116 229 1,874 687 Depletion, amortization, basis of timberland, mitigation credits sold included in loss from unconsolidated joint venture (2) 395 Basis of timberland sold, lease terminations and other (3) 1,721 6,668 4,997 8,475 Stock-based compensation expense 705 490 2,577 1,149 (Gain) loss on large dispositions (4) 5 (764) (1,274) (764) HLBV loss from unconsolidated joint venture (5) 2,311 28,600 2,311 56,088 Post-employment benefits (6) 11 2,297 Other (7) 36 4 70 114 Adjusted EBITDA $ 9,435 $ 15,087 $ 22,324 $ 25,249 (1) For the purpose of the above reconciliation, amortization includes amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of operating lease assets and liabilities, amortization of intangible lease assets, and amortization of mainline road costs, which are included in either interest expense, land rent expense, or other operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Includes non-cash basis of timber and timberland assets written-off related to timberland sold, terminations of timberland leases and casualty losses. (2) Reflects our share of depletion, amortization, and basis of timberland and mitigation credits sold of the unconsolidated Dawsonville Bluffs joint venture. (3) Includes non-cash basis of timber and timberland assets written-off related to timberland sold, terminations of timberland leases and casualty losses. (4) Large dispositions are sales of blocks of timberland properties in one or several transactions with the objective to generate proceeds to fund capital allocation priorities. Large dispositions may or may not have a higher or better use than timber production or result in a price premium above the land's timber production value. Such dispositions are infrequent in nature, are not part of core operations, and would cause material variances in comparative results if not reported separately. (5) Reflects HLBV (income) losses from the Triple T joint venture, which is determined based on a hypothetical liquidation of the underlying joint venture at book value as of the reporting date. (6) Reflects one-time, non-recurring post-employment benefits associated with the retirement of our former CEO, including severance pay, payroll taxes, professional fees, and accrued dividend equivalents. (7) Includes certain cash expenses paid, or reimbursement received, that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations of our timberland portfolio on an on-going basis, including costs required to be expensed by GAAP related to acquisitions, transactions, joint ventures or new business initiatives.

In addition, only three percent of the people actually leading investments at VC firms are Black according to the National Venture Capital Association. To help further access to funding for Black women, Mastercard today announced a multi-million dollar investment in Fearless Fund, a venture capital fund built by women of color for women of color. The significant investment gaps in women-founded companies, which is especially acute for Women of Color, holds everyone back, said Michael Froman, president of strategic growth, Mastercard. The need to narrow this gender and racial disparity is critical in driving forward innovation and fueling inclusive, sustained economic recovery across our country. We are investing in Fearless Fund and partnering to bring innovative programs to market to help Black women founders get access to the capital and resources they need to achieve their full potential. The investment will allow Fearless Fund to further expand their portfolio of women of color founded and co-founded companies in the CPG, Food & Beverage, Beauty, Fashion, and Technology sectors. Additionally, the social impact of the investment will have a significant role in job creation and wealth distribution in underserved communities. \"This multi-million dollar investment from Mastercard is further proof of their commitment to providing resources in an effort to better serve the hard-working but severely underfunded Women of Color entrepreneurs who so deserve equal capital distribution. We have been working together with Mastercard for almost 3 years now and look forward to growing this relationship,\" says Arian Simone, Co-Founder & General Partner of Fearless Fund. Mastercard has long been an advocate for the small business community and reinforced its investments to support Black communities with the introduction of its Strivers Initiative earlier this year. This initiative is focused on elevating the visibility of Black female business owners overcoming obstacles to maintain and grow their business, while encouraging consumers and businesses alike to shop, share and support them. In Solidarity Across U.S. Cities Last year, Mastercard announced a half-billion-dollar commitment to support Black communities across the U.S. over the next five years, to help close the racial wealth and opportunity gap starting in seven cities. As part of that effort the company is hosting in a series of local In Solidarity events to address financial barriers and how to advance equitable growth. The tour includes Strivers programming, hosted by Arian Simone, General Partner and Co-Founder of Fearless Fund, and in partnership with Create & Cultivate, to drive awareness on the state of Black women-owned business in select cities across the U.S. local markets. The Strivers events will foster dialogue with local leaders and small businesses around delivering on the needs of local businesses and the actions cities can take to advance an equitable business climate. To further underscore its commitment to this community, Mastercard and Fearless Fund launched the Fearless Strivers Grant Contest* to provide Black female small business owners across the U.S. whove been hit hardest by the pandemic with additional grants and tools to help grow their business. These efforts build on Mastercards sustained commitment to building a more inclusive digital economy including its commitment to bring 50 million small and medium-sized businesses into the digital economy, specifically helping 25 million woman entrepreneurs grow their businesses.

The Nigerian oil refining capacity has increased by 63% between 2010 and 2018. The Nigerian oil & gas downstream sector is driven by the development of large and modular refineries. However, the market is restrained by poor maintenance and supply disruption resulting in a low utilization rate. The increasing refining capacity is expected to drive the demand in the market during the forecast period. Digitalization and modernization of the refining and petrochemical sector are expected to reduce the refining costs and process losses. This, in turn, is expected to create an opportunity for the market during the forecast period. Improving the existing downstream infrastructure and encouraging private sector investment for the refineries and petrochemical plants in is expected to drive the studied market during the forecast period. Key Market Trends Refinery Segment Dominate the Market Nigeria is the second biggest oil-rich country in Africa, after Libya. The country is estimated to hold 37 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. However, despite its rich resources, at present Nigeria's state-dominated oil industry is declining, afflicted by systemic corruption, starved for international investment, and hit hard by weak oil prices. Despite that malaise, oil remains the country's chief source of income. Improving the Infrastructure and Encouraging Private Sector Investment to Drive the Market Nigeria ranked as the 13th largest crude oil producer in the world with an average daily output of about 2 million barrels per day. Such high production country should have proper downstream infrastructure. Competitive Landscape The market for Nigeria oil & gas downstream remains concentrated. Some of the key players are Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), KBR Inc., NDEP plc, Indorama Group, and Midoil Refining & Petrochemicals Company Limited.

(NYSE:ZYME), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing multifunctional biotherapeutics, today announced that its partner, BeiGene, Ltd., has dosed the first patient in South Korea in a pivotal, single-arm clinical trial of zanidatamab (formerly ZW25) monotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-amplified biliary tract cancer (BTC). Zymeworks will receive a US$10 million payment under its collaboration with BeiGene as a result of the achievement of this development milestone. Patients with biliary tract cancer generally have a poor prognosis and few treatment options, said Diana Hausman, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Zymeworks. While BTC occurs in patients throughout the world, the incidence is particularly high in Asia. Our collaboration with BeiGene expands the potential of zanidatamab to help address this global unmet need. Zymeworks and BeiGene are progressing the opening of multiple clinical trial sites in support of the global registration-enabling Phase 2b clinical trial of zanidatamab in patients with HER2-amplified BTC. In the Asia region, multiple sites are open for enrollment in South Korea, and in China all sites have been selected with enrollment anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2021. This global zanidatamab study may enable the submission of a Biologics License Application by Zymeworks in the United States as early as 2022. Multiple clinical sites are now open to enrollment in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, with additional sites planned, including in Canada and South America. We are pleased to have been able to initiate this important clinical trial and hope that it may help contribute to improving the lives of patients with advanced or metastatic BTC and HER2 amplification, said Lai Wang, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Head of Global Research and APAC Clinical Development at BeiGene. As our collaboration with Zymeworks continues, this trial may help lead to expedited global regulatory approvals, including in China and South Korea. This pivotal Phase 2b clinical trial is a global, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study designed to evaluate the antitumor activity of zanidatamab monotherapy in patients with HER2-amplified, inoperable and advanced or metastatic BTC, including gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma (Phase 2:NCT04466891). Patients must have received at least one prior gemcitabine-containing systemic chemotherapy regimen for advanced disease and have experienced disease progression after (or developed intolerance to) their most recent prior therapy. The primary endpoint of the study is the confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by independent central review per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). Ongoing clinical trials are evaluating zanidatamab in first-line HER2-positive gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) in combination with standard of care chemotherapy (Phase 2: NCT03929666) as well as in combination with the oral CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (Ibrance, Pfizer) and fulvestrant in advanced HER2-positive, HR-positive breast cancer (Phase 2: NCT04224272). Zymeworks, in collaboration with BeiGene, plans to develop zanidatamab as a potential first-line treatment for patients with HER2-positive GEA. BeiGene is also conducting a two-arm Phase 1b/2 trial evaluating zanidatamab in combination with chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer and in combination with chemotherapy and BeiGenes PD-1-targeted antibody tislelizumab as a first-line treatment for patients with metastatic HER2-positive GEA (NCT04276493). In addition, an ongoing Phase 1 trial is evaluating the safety and antitumor activity of zanidatamab as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy in HER2-expressing cancers that have progressed after prior standard of care treatments, including HER2-targeted agents (Phase 1: NCT02892123). About Zanidatamab Zanidatamab is a bispecific antibody, based on Zymeworks Azymetric platform, that can simultaneously bind two non-overlapping epitopes of HER2, known as biparatopic binding. This unique design results in multiple mechanisms of action including dual HER2 signal blockade, increased binding, and removal of HER2 protein from the cell surface, and potent effector function leading to encouraging antitumor activity in patients. Zymeworks is developing zanidatamab in multiple Phase 1, Phase 2, and registration-enabling clinical trials globally as a targeted treatment option for patients with solid tumors that express HER2. The FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for zanidatamab in patients with previously treated HER2 gene-amplified BTC, and two Fast Track designations to zanidatamab, one as a single agent for refractory BTC and one in combination with standard of care chemotherapy, for first-line gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). These designations mean zanidatamab is eligible for Accelerated Approval, Priority Review and Rolling Review, as well as intensive FDA guidance on an efficient drug development program. Zanidatamab has also received Orphan Drug designations for the treatment of biliary tract, gastric and ovarian cancers, as well as Orphan Drug designation for the treatment of gastric cancer from the European Medicines Agency. About Biliary Tract Cancer Biliary tract cancer (BTC), including gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer), accounts for approximately 3% of all adult cancers and is associated with a poor prognosis. Globally, more than 210,000 people are diagnosed with BTC every year. Most patients (> 65%) with BTC are diagnosed with tumors that cannot be removed surgically, and even those patients who undergo potentially curative surgery have a high recurrence rate. Treatment options are limited for patients with advanced BTC who experience disease progression after front-line chemotherapy. The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a well-described target for anti-cancer therapy. Tumor cells that produce a higher than normal level of HER2 tend to grow more quickly and spread to other parts of the body. About 5% to 19% of patients with BTC have tumors that express HER2, suggesting that these patients may potentially benefit from HER2-targeted therapy. Currently no HER2-targeted therapy has been approved for the treatment of BTC. About the Zymeworks-BeiGene Collaboration In November 2018, Zymeworks and BeiGene entered into license and collaboration agreements in which BeiGene was granted an exclusive license for the research, development, and commercialization of zanidatamab and ZW49 in Asia (excluding Japan), Australia, and New Zealand. The companies are collaborating on joint global development for selected indications, with the goal of developing zanidatamab and ZW49 worldwide across multiple HER2-expressing cancers and lines of therapy. About Zymeworks Inc. Zymeworks is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of next-generation multifunctional biotherapeutics. Zymeworks suite of therapeutic platforms and its fully integrated drug development engine enable precise engineering of highly differentiated product candidates. Zymeworks lead clinical candidate, zanidatamab, is a novel Azymetric bispecific antibody currently which has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA and is in a registration-enabling clinical trial for refractory HER2-positive biliary tract cancer as well as several Phase 2 clinical trials for HER2-positive gastroesophageal and breast cancers. Zymeworks second clinical candidate, ZW49, is a bispecific antibody-drug conjugate currently in Phase 1 clinical development and combines the unique design and antibody framework of zanidatamab with Zymeworks proprietary ZymeLink linker-cytotoxin. Zymeworks is also advancing a deep preclinical pipeline in oncology (including immuno-oncology agents) and other therapeutic areas. In addition, its therapeutic platforms are being leveraged through strategic partnerships with nine biopharmaceutical companies. For more information, visit www.zymeworks.com.

SeptiCyte RAPID combines SeptiCyte technology with the Biocartis Idylla platform* to differentiate infection positive (sepsis) from infection negative systemic inflammation in patients suspected of sepsis. SeptiCyte RAPID results are reported as a SeptiScore between 0 and 15, with higher scores representing higher probability of sepsis. Testing was conducted at two clinical laboratories, Intermountain Healthcare Central Lab and Providence Oregon Regional Laboratory, and SeptiScore results generated by SeptiCyte RAPID were compared to SeptiCyte LAB scores from the initial clinical trial for FDA clearance. Results demonstrate that SeptiCyte RAPID run on the Biocartis Idylla platform correlate strongly with SeptiCyte LAB and are reproducible for 28 clinical samples (r2=0.97 and r2=0.98). Reproducibility for inter-operator performance of SeptiCyte RAPID cartridges on different Idylla machines located at three different laboratories was 0.994. Studies are ongoing for further validation of the performance of SeptiCyte at multiple locations throughout the U.S. These initial results demonstrate that SeptiCyte RAPID, which has a turn-around time of ~1 hour, is a robust and reproducible sepsis test with potential for near-patient testing. Margret D. Oethinger, M.D., Ph.D., Medical Director at Providence Oregon Regional Laboratory said, \"SeptiCyte RAPID, as a host response test, appears to address some of the current challenges of sepsis diagnosis and our technologists found it very easy to run and interpret the test results.\" A second poster titled, \"In Silico Performance of a Rapid Sepsis Test in Patients with Candidemia,\" highlights SeptiCyte RAPID performance in distinguishing patients with candidemia from clinical controls with the SeptiCyte RAPID signature. Immunexpress has previously demonstrated that SeptiCyte RAPID gene expression biomarkers can differentiate both bacterial and viral sepsis from infection negative systemic inflammation. Here, using in silico data from an Affymetrix U219 microarray, the two fungal biomarkers had Area Under the Curves (AUCs) of 1.00, 0.942 and 0.942 for differentiating candidemia (n=6), from healthy patients (n=42), from patients who were initially suspected of sepsis and treated with antibiotics but subsequently demonstrated not to have an infection (n=26) and from infection negative systemic inflammation patients (n=43). This in silico data demonstrates that SeptiCyte RAPID can distinguish Candidemia and complements prior data demonstrating that SeptiCyte RAPID can also differentiate viral and bacterial sepsis. \"Candida infections present a significant clinical challenge, as such a diagnostic for fungal sepsis when blood cultures are negative would enable early targeted therapy and thereby likely improve patient outcomes, so this initial in silico data is encouraging,\" said Tom van der Poll, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Medicine and Chair of the Department of Medicine in the Amsterdam UMC, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The e-posters and accompanying presentations can be found on the AMP Meeting website and are also accessible through Events page on the Newsroom section of Immunexpress' website at www.immunexpress.com. AboutImmunexpressImmunexpressis a molecular diagnostic company, based out of Seattle, committed to improving outcomes for patients suspected of sepsis.Immunexpress'SeptiCyte technology can assess a patient's dysregulated immune response by quantifying and analyzing gene expression from whole blood, providing actionable results in about an hour to guide the physician in optimizing patient management decisions.SeptiCyte RAPID is a lab test for sepsis that combinesSeptiCyte technology with theBiocartis'Idylla platform*, empowering clinicians to swiftly differentiate infection positive (sepsis) from infection negative systemic inflammation in patients suspected of sepsis; diagnosing bacterial sepsis, viral sepsis, or fungal infections. This powerful combination of technologies enhances certainty for early sepsis diagnosis, to improve clinical outcomes and lower healthcare costs. InMarch 2020,Immunexpressreceived CE Marking ofSeptiCyte RAPID and announced a long-term commercialization partnership with Biocartis inEurope. For more information,visithttp://www.immunexpress.com/.

Anthony Nolan Cell & Gene Therapy Services will provide a consistent supply of umbilical cord blood and cord-derived NK cells as a choice of starting material for both ONK Therapeutics research activities and continued process development work. This source material is scalable and ethically-sourced from consenting donors. The parties bring together their extensive experience in cell sourcing, cell processing, translational research, understanding of the tumor microenvironment, and exploration of NK cells as a foundation for cellular immunotherapy. In doing so they aim to expedite the development of much-needed new lifesaving cell therapies for patients with a broad range of cancers. Diana Hernandez, Head of Immunotherapy at the Anthony Nolan Research Institute says: Our innovative partnership with ONK Therapeutics will serve to accelerate vital research and development into hematological and solid cancer treatments. We see this as an exciting opportunity which will ultimately lead to better treatments, improving the lives of many more cancer patients. Chris Nowers, CEO of ONK Therapeutics says: Anthony Nolan has a rich heritage in stem cell therapy research, including an enviable understanding of the biology of NK Cells and their processing. We look forward to continuing to partner with their team and to benefiting from their extensive know-how as we drive our programs towards clinical trials and beyond. -Ends- Anthony Nolan Cell and Gene Therapy Services www.anthonynolan.org/clinicians-and-researchers/cell-and-gene-therapy-services Anthony Nolan is the pioneering charity that saves the lives of people with blood cancer and blood disorders who need a stem cell transplant.

LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/showcase/anthony-nolan-cell-&-gene-therapy-services/ Contact: [email protected] ONK Therapeutics www.onktherapeutics.com ONK Therapeutics Ltd is an innovative cell therapy company dedicated to developing the next generation of off-the-shelf, dual-targeted NK cell therapies targeting hematological malignancies and solid tumors. The company was founded in 2015, by Prof. ODwyer MD, of NUI Galway, an expert in translational multiple myeloma research, the tumor microenvironment, and exploitation of NK cells as cellular immunotherapy. Its core proprietary off-the-shelf platform is based on a dual-targeted NK cell expressing both a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting a known tumor antigen and a TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand variant (TRAILv) targeting the death receptor pathway (i.e. DR4 or DR5). This unique approach has the potential to enhance efficacy by addressing both intrinsic (e.g. CAR engagement of a tumor-specific antigen) and extrinsic (e.g. signaling through the death receptor pathway) apoptotic pathways and to reduce the susceptibility to possible target antigen escape through the engagement of tumor antigen-independent TRAILv.

Taos Ski Valley will operate at 50% of peak capacity for the 2020-2021 winter season, meaning guests will have a once-in-a-lifetime Taos experience in an uncrowded, intimate alpine sanctuary. \"This winter, visitors will find fewer skiers, but all the heart at Taos Ski Valley. We are eager to welcome guests back to the mountain, and transform them with our pristine alpine environment,\" said David Norden, CEO of Taos Ski Valley. \"Of course, an unprecendented year means unprecedented skiing operations. We took our time with the details to make sure our winter planswould help create a sustained, viable ski environment for the entire season. We carefully developed a thoughtful, socially responsible approach with our ski industry peers and the state's tourism and health regulators that offers visitors an incredible experience with crowd-free access to our legendary ski terrain, while still making our staff, community, and guests' health and well-being our top priority.\" Taos Ski Valley's B Corporation ethos has been a beacon as the resort navigated through the pandemic response. Taos has elected to operate at a 50% capacity this winter out of an abundance of caution and care for the greater good, and to create an environment that promotes health and physical distancing. Staff, visitor, and employee well-being has been at the forefront of all decision-making and operations planning for this winter season. Additionally, Taos is committed to supporting the Northern New Mexico community through this crisis and helping to safely rebuild the local economy. Although capacity will be limited, Taos Ski Valley plans to operate dining, lodging, rentals, and retail. 2020-2021 Taos Ski Valley winter season plans include: Lift tickets must be purchased online, in advance of any visit, in order to manage the 50% capacity goal. Tickets will not be offered for sale at the ticket window. Ticket sales will continue until all are sold out. The number of day tickets available will dynamically change based on visitor patterns and season pass usage, so visitors are encouraged to plan ahead. Ticket sales will begin October 15 for the four weeks of early season, and on October 22 for the prime season. A whole new set of season pass optionswill be offered. These complement visitors' unusual work and schooling schedules this year, and support the goal of physical distancing and capacity limitations, while also offering extensive ski days on the mountain. Additionally, Taos is giving back to the community with a contribution to the Taos Community Foundation for every pass sold.Passes go on sale today, and only a limited number of passes are available at these prices during the Early Fall Pass Sale, which runs through October 25. If demand is high, pass sales may close prior to October 25. Midweek$450Skiing or riding MondayThursday with holiday blackouts.

Taos Ski Valley's new set of season passes are on sale now andcan be purchased here. Ikon Pass holders will need to make a reservation to ski or ride at Taos Ski Valley through the Ikon Passsystem. Private ski and ride lessons will be offered at the world-renowned Ernie Blake Snowsports School. Private lessons can include up to five guests visiting together. To book a lesson call 888.262.8398. Group lessons and childcare will not be offered this season. The Blake at Taos Ski Valley is planning to operate at 65% capacity, offering guests an elevated ski-in/ski-out experience with added amenities for guests including a spa and on-site or in-room dining. For added peace of mind, cleaning, disinfecting, and HVAC protocols have been significantly heightened, and all guests will be required to go through COVID screening upon arrival. Some guest services, including the ski valet and parking valet, will be eliminated this season. On-mountain restaurants are planning to open (including 192 at The Blake, the Bavarian, Phoenix Grill, Rhoda's Restaurant, Tenderfoot Katie's, and Whistlestop Caf) and will operate with COVID safety protocols including physically distanced seating that maximizes open-air dining whenever possible, new ordering procedures including contactless payment processing, and more. The resort will be cashless,meaning payment for all dining, rentals, ticketing, and retail will be via credit, debit, or prepaid card only. A cashless approach will reduce contact during the payment process. Guests should be prepared to pay with their smartphones or with credit, debit, or prepaid cards. A new skier drop-off areareplaces the parking lot shuttle, which will not operate this season. The new drop-off provides convenient access to the base area. Indoor spaces throughout the resort will be significantly limited this year, so skiers will need to put on boots and gear in designated outdoor areas, in their cars, or in their lodging. Although there will be no locker room access, a no-touch basket check will be available to guests for a fee. No large public gatherings will be allowed, including weddings, conferences, events, and competitions. Taos Ski Valley will look a bit different this winter due to COVID Safe Practices:guests must wear a face covering in all public places, are asked to follow appropriate physical distancing practices, and gatherings of more than 10 people are not allowed. Public, indoor gathering places throughout the resort will be significantly limited this year, so guests who are visiting Taos Ski Valley but don't intend to ski are encouraged to reserve a room with The Blake or one of the other base-area lodgers, or stay home. Taos Ski Valley staff are passing a daily temperature and symptom assessment and will also be wearing face coverings. Seasonal staff will be required to present a negative COVID test prior to commencing work. Buildings and facilities have new operations protocols in place, designed to maintain the highest levels of sanitation. Taos Ski Valley will continue to comply with all federal, state, and local guidelines. Taos Ski Valley leadership hopes that the added precautions will allow for an on-time season opening and the ability to remain open throughout the winter. Taos will continuously monitor all guidelines and the pandemic's affect on the community, and may adjust its business operations at any time in response. \"The snowmaking system is prepped and the lifts will be spinning soon; something we've been envisioning for the last six months,\" continued Norden. \"Our experience over the summer shows us that our guests are as eager as we are to get outside, and we've been gratified by their embrace of our COVID Safe Practices. This season's visitors will find a warm, welcoming resort community, thrilling and invigorating mountain activities, and an even more intimate experience than they have known and loved in Taos in the past.\" The 2020-2021 season is expected to open on November 26, 2020.

(link) Financial Guidance Bristol Myers Squibb is updating its 2021 GAAP EPS guidance range of $3.12-$3.32 to $3.18-$3.38 and affirming its non-GAAP EPS guidance range of $7.35 - $7.55. Both GAAP and non-GAAP guidance assume current exchange rates. Key 2021 GAAP and non-GAAP line item guidance assumptions are: The 2021 financial guidance excludes the impact of any potential future strategic acquisitions and divestitures, and any specified items that have not yet been identified and quantified. The 2021 non-GAAP EPS guidance is explained and further excludes other specified items as discussed under Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information. The financial guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties applicable to all forward-looking statements as described elsewhere in this press release. Company and Conference Call Information Bristol Myers Squibb is a global biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In discussing financial results and guidance, the company refers to the financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures presented in this press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and are presented because management has evaluated the companys financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items or the effects of foreign currency translation, as applicable, and believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented portray the results of the companys baseline performance, supplement or enhance management, analysts and investors overall understanding of the companys underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods. For example, non-GAAP earnings and EPS information are indications of the companys baseline performance before items that are considered by us to not be reflective of the companys ongoing results. This information is among the primary indicators that we use as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and planning and forecasting for future periods. In addition, revenue excluding COVID-19 related buying patterns from the first quarter of 2020, non-GAAP gross margin, which is gross profit excluding certain specified items as a percentage of revenues, non-GAAP marketing, selling and administrative expenses, which is marketing, selling and administrative expense excluding certain specified items, and non-GAAP research and development expenses, which is research and development expenses excluding certain specified items, are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by our management and make it easier for investors, analysts and peers to compare our operating performance to other companies in our industry and to compare our year-over-year results. This earnings release also provides international revenues excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Foreign exchange impacts were derived by applying the prior period average currency rates to the current period revenues and expenses. Non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that are evaluated on an individual basis after considering their quantitative and qualitative aspects and typically have one or more of the following characteristics, such as being highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of past or future operating results. These items are excluded from non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information because the company believes they neither relate to the ordinary course of the companys business nor reflect the companys underlying business performance. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, including product rights that generate a significant portion of our ongoing revenue and will recur until the intangible assets are fully amortized, unwind of inventory fair value adjustments, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring costs, accelerated depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, R&D charges or other income resulting from upfront or contingent milestone payments in connection with the acquisition or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights, divestiture gains or losses, stock compensation resulting from accelerated vesting of Celgene awards, certain retention-related employee compensation charges related to the Celgene transaction, pension, legal and other contractual settlement charges, equity investment and contingent value rights fair value adjustments (including fair value adjustments attributed to limited partnership equity method investments beginning in 2021) and amortization of fair value adjustments of debt acquired from Celgene in our 2019 exchange offer, among other items. Deferred and current income taxes attributed to these items are also adjusted for considering their individual impact to the overall tax expense, deductibility and jurisdictional tax rates. Because the non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial measures presented in the press release that are prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying financial tables and also available on the companys website at www.bms.com. Website Information We routinely post important information for investors on our website, BMS.com, in the Investors section. We may use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investors section of our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. We may also use social media channels to communicate with our investors and the public about our company, our products and other matters, and those communications could be deemed to be material information. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website or social media channels are not incorporated by reference into, and are not a part of, this document.

Such risks, uncertainties and other matters include, but are not limited to, risks relating to various risks related to public health outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the companys operations and that the company cannot reasonably assess or predict at this time the full extent of the adverse effect that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; increasing pricing pressures from market access, pharmaceutical pricing controls and discounting, changes to tax and importation laws and other restrictions in the United States, the European Union and other regions around the world that result in lower prices, lower reimbursement rates and smaller populations for whom payers will reimburse; challenges inherent in new product development, including obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval; the companys ability to obtain and protect market exclusivity rights and enforce patents and other intellectual property rights; the possibility of difficulties and delays in product introduction and commercialization; the risk of certain novel approaches to disease treatment (such as CAR T therapy); industry competition from other manufacturers; potential difficulties, delays and disruptions in manufacturing, distribution or sale of products, including without limitation, interruptions caused by damage to the companys and the companys suppliers manufacturing sites; the impact of integrating the companys and Celgenes business and operations, including with respect to human capital management, portfolio rationalization, finance and accounting systems, sales operations and product distribution, pricing systems and methodologies, data security systems, compliance programs and internal controls processes, on the companys ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the Celgene Acquisition; the risk of an adverse patent litigation decision or settlement and exposure to other litigation and/or regulatory actions; the impact of any healthcare reform and legislation or regulatory action in the United States and international markets; changes in tax law and regulations; the failure of the companys suppliers, vendors, outsourcing partners, alliance partners and other third parties to meet their contractual, regulatory and other obligations; regulatory decisions impacting labeling, manufacturing processes and/or other matters; the impact on the companys competitive position from counterfeit or unregistered versions of its products or stolen products; the adverse impact of cyber-attacks on the companys information systems or products, including unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or other confidential data stored in the companys information systems and networks; the companys ability to execute its financial, strategic and operational plans; the companys ability to identify potential strategic acquisitions, licensing opportunities or other beneficial transactions; the companys dependency on several key products; any decline in the companys future royalty streams; the companys ability to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, alliances and other portfolio actions and to successfully realize the expected benefits of such actions; the companys ability to attract and retain key personnel; the impact of the companys significant additional indebtedness that it incurred in connection with the Celgene Acquisition and the MyoKardia Acquisition and its issuance of additional shares in connection with the Celgene Acquisition on its ability to operate the combined company; political and financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk; interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, credit and foreign exchange risk management; the impact of our exclusive forum provision in our by-laws for certain lawsuits on our stockholders ability to obtain a judicial forum that it finds favorable for such lawsuits; and issuance of new or revised accounting standards. In addition, the financial guidance provided in this release relies on assumptions about the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, timing of the return to a more stable business environment, patient and physician behaviors, buying patterns and clinical trial activities (together, the Recovery Process), among other things. If the actual Recovery Process differs materially from our assumptions, the impact of COVID-19 on our business could be worse than expected and our results may be negatively impacted.

It is the first of an initial six trusts in the Northern Pathology Imaging Co-operative (NPIC) to go live, paving the way for one of the most sophisticated interconnected pathology initiatives in the world. The technology from Sectra will underpin the regional program that is digitizing, connecting and applying artificial intelligence to pathology services in the North of England. Leeds Teaching Hospitals went live with Sectra's solution for digital pathology and Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) in October. Thiswill allow pathology images to be interrogated by professionals electronically from a range of devices-anywhere and at any time. With many pathology departments across the country still reliant on microscopes and glass slides, the new system is allowing pathologists to work more quickly, gain easier access to opinions from colleagues and manage rising demand. Furthermore, the joint VNA will allow the trust to pool imaging and build a platform for artificial intelligence that is crucial to improving diagnoses for cancer and other illnesses. \"Leeds is the first of our six sites to go fully digital. Collectively, we are modernizing our pathology services to become among the most advanced and interconnected anywhere in the world, and we hope to share our experience to help others across the NHS and beyond,\" says Dr. Darren Treanor, NPIC's director, and a practicing pathologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. He continues: \"The days of using glass slides and paper notes to determine and communicate a patient's diagnosis are numbered. As we move to digital ways of working, we can improve quality and create a more structured digital workflow.\" Greater benefits are expected as more hospitals in the NPIC go live with the system later in the year. As announced in 2018, the program is part of a partnership between industry, the NHS and academia, funded by UK Research and Innovation and industry partners to connect pathology services across the region using technology. This will lead to the full digitization of NHS laboratories covering a population of three million people, allowing hospitals to pool resources, balance workload, and enable easier access to specialists across the region whose expertise may be quickly needed to make a clinical diagnosis. \"Digital pathology is about far more than replacing microscopes with computers. It's about fundamentally changing how pathology services can be configured across regions and across the country, so that patients can receive faster diagnoses, services can become more intelligent, and the NHS can make best use of its valuable pathologists. NPIC is at the forefront of this transformation,\" says Jane Rendall, UK Managing Director for Sectra. About NPIC Northern Pathology Imaging Co-operative, NPIC (Project no. 104687) is one of five centers supported by a 50m investment from the Data to Early Diagnosis and Precision Medicine strand of the government's Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, managed and delivered by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), announced in 2018. NPIC is a unique collaboration between NHS, academic and industry partners. NPIC is deploying digital pathology across hospitals in the North of England and will develop artificial intelligence tools to help diagnose cancer and other diseases.

(NYSE: TJX), the leading off-price apparel and home fashions retailer in the U.S. and worldwide, today announced sales and operating results for the fourth quarter ended January 30, 2021. Net sales for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021 were $10.9 billion. Overall open-only comp store sales (defined below) were down 3% versus last year. Net income for the fourth quarter was $326 million. Diluted earnings per share were $.27, which includes a debt extinguishment charge (described below) of $.18 per share. The Companys higher tax rate in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021 resulted in a decrease in earnings per share of $.05 compared to the prior year. The higher tax rate was primarily due to the Company shifting to a year-to-date net income position in the fourth quarter and the related impact of the jurisdictional mix of profits and losses. The Companys results for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021 were negatively impacted by the temporary closure of some of its stores due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Although the Companys stores in the U.S. were generally open the entire fourth quarter, stores in Europe were closed for approximately 63% of the fourth quarter and stores in Canada were closed for about 32% of the quarter. In total, the Company had stores closed for approximately 13% of the fourth quarter due to the COVID-19 global pandemic (see table below). The Company estimates that these European and Canadian closures may have resulted in approximately $950 million to $1.05 billion in lost sales during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021. This range of estimated lost sales assumes all European and Canadian stores operated at similar open-only comp store sales trends as the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2021, respectively. Based on managements estimate of profit dollars on this range of lost sales, the Company estimates that fourth quarter Fiscal 2021 earnings per share were negatively impacted by approximately $.18 to $.21. For the full year Fiscal 2021, net sales were $32.1 billion. Fiscal 2021 overall open-only comp store sales were down 4% versus last year. Net income was $90 million. Diluted earnings per share were $.07, which includes a debt extinguishment charge (described below) of $.19 per share. The Companys results for Fiscal 2021 were negatively impacted by the temporary closure of its stores for approximately 24% of the year due to the COVID-19 global pandemic (see table below). Q4 FY21 and Full Year Fiscal 2021 Store Closures by Region (in percent of store days closed) Region Q4 FY21 Fiscal 2021 U.S. 0% 20% Canada 32% 29% Europe 63% 38% Australia 1% 23% Total TJX 13% 24% CEO and President Comments Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of The TJX Companies, Inc., stated, As we report our 2020 results, I want to thank our global Associates for their extraordinary efforts during an unprecedented year. They pulled together and worked as One TJX, and I am especially proud of their commitment to the health and safety protocols for our Associates and customers. I want to give special recognition to our store, distribution, and fulfillment center Associates who have been physically coming in to work to keep our business open. I could not be prouder of our teams around the world who achieved monumental tasks in the face of a global pandemic in 2020. Herrman continued, In terms of the business results, I am very pleased that our fourth quarter open-only comp store sales were down only 3%, exceeding our plans. Our brands, values, and exciting gift assortments resonated with customers, and we achieved these results despite numerous COVID-related headwinds. Overall open-only comp store sales improved each month of the quarter and were positive in January. Further, open-only comp store sales exceeded our plans across each of our divisions, including at HomeGoods which once again delivered a double-digit increase. We also saw continued strength in our home and beauty departments. As we start the new fiscal year, while uncertainty around COVID-19 remains, we feel very good about the strength of the business and our market share opportunities beyond the health crisis. We are convinced that our entertaining, treasure hunt shopping experience, our differentiated, branded merchandise selections, and value proposition will continue to resonate with consumers. We see many opportunities to leverage our flexible business model, gain more customers, and continue driving the successful growth of TJX for many years ahead. Margins For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Companys consolidated pretax profit margin was 4.6%, which includes a 2.9 percentage point negative impact due to a debt extinguishment charge (described below) of $312 million. The Companys merchandise margin was up versus the prior year. For the full year Fiscal 2021, the Companys consolidated pretax profit margin was 0.3%, which includes a 1.0 percentage point negative impact due to a debt extinguishment charge (described below) of $312 million in the fourth quarter. Debt Extinguishment Charge On November 30, 2020, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 1.15%, 7.5-year notes and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 1.60%, 10.5-year notes. The Company used the proceeds to fund its cash tender for $364.50 million of its 4.50% notes and $754.15 million of its 3.875% notes on December 4, 2020, prior to their scheduled maturities of April 15, 2050 and April 15, 2030 respectively. The total charge for the early extinguishment of this debt reduced fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2021 pretax income by $312 million. Cash and Dividend Update The Company generated $4.6 billion of operating cash flow for the full year Fiscal 2021 and ended the year with $10.5 billion of cash. The Company declared a quarterly dividend in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021 at an increased rate of $.26 per share. This represented a 13% increase in the per share dividend compared to the Companys previous dividend paid in March 2020. The Company expects to declare a dividend of $.26 per share in the first quarter quarter of Fiscal 2022, subject to Board approval. Temporary Store Closings The Company currently has approximately 690 stores that are temporarily closed due to government mandates in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The vast majority of these stores are located in Europe, where the Company expects stores will be temporarily closed for an estimated 67% of the first quarter of Fiscal 2022. In total, based on restrictions currently in place, the Company expects its stores to be closed for approximately 11% of the first quarter of Fiscal 2022. All of the Companys e-commerce businesses remain open, including tkmaxx.com in the U.K. Open-Only Comp Store Sales Due to the temporary closing of stores as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Companys historical definition of comp store sales is not applicable this quarter and for Fiscal 2021. In order to provide a performance indicator for its stores as they reopen, the Company has been temporarily reporting a new sales measure: open-only comp store sales. Open-only comp store sales includes stores initially classified as comp stores at the beginning of Fiscal 2021 that have had to temporarily close due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This measure reports the sales increase or decrease of these stores for the days the stores were open in the current period against sales for the same days in the prior year. Sales by Business Segment The Companys open-only comp store sales and net sales by division, in the fourth quarter and full year, were as follows: Fourth Quarter Open-Only Comp Store Sales1,2 Fourth Quarter Net Sales ($ in millions)3,4 FY2021 FY2020 Marmaxx (U.S.)5,6 -7% $6,921 $7,402 HomeGoods (U.S.)7 +12% $2,225 $1,952 TJX Canada -4% $837 $1,135 TJX International (Europe & Australia) +2% $961 $1,718 TJX -3% $10,943 $12,206 Full Year Open-Only Comp Store Sales1,2 Full Year Net Sales ($ in millions)3,4 FY2021 FY2020 Marmaxx (U.S.)5,6 -7% $19,363 $25,665 HomeGoods (U.S.)7 +13% $6,096 $6,356 TJX Canada -8% $2,836 $4,031 TJX International (Europe & Australia) -2% $3,842 $5,665 TJX -4% $32,137 $41,717 1Open-only comparable store sales outside the U.S. calculated on a constant currency basis, which removes the effect of changes in currency exchange rates. 2Open-only comparable store sales exclude e-commerce sites (tjmaxx.com, marshalls.com, sierra.com, and tkmaxx.com) and include Sierra stores. 3Net sales in TJX Canada and TJX International include the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. 4Figures may not foot due to rounding. 5Combination of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. 6Net sales include Sierras e-commerce and store sales. 7Includes Homesense stores in the U.S. Inventory Total inventories as of January 30, 2021, were $4.3 billion, compared with $4.9 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year. Overall product availability in the marketplace remains excellent and the Company continues to focus its buying towards the categories that have had the strongest demand. The Company is well positioned to deliver a fresh assortment of merchandise to its stores and e-commerce sites throughout the spring season. Outlook For the first three weeks of the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, overall open-only comp store sales trends were better than the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, despite unfavorable weather in the U.S. In the periods before and after the unfavorable weather, overall open-only comp store sales were positive. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company expects total sales, pretax margin, and earnings per share to be negatively impacted from the temporary store closings described above. Due to the continued uncertainty of the current environment and the difficulty in forecasting the impact of the global pandemic on temporary store closures and consumer behavior, demand, and traffic, the Company is not providing financial guidance at this time. Stores by Concept During the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021, the Company increased its store count by 43 stores to a total of 4,572 stores and increased square footage by 1% over the same period last year. The Companys slower pace of store growth in Fiscal 2021 was due to a reduction of capital spending in response to the global pandemic. The majority of new store openings planned for Fiscal 2021 were delayed until Fiscal 2022. Store Locations1 Gross Square Feet2 FY21 FY21 (in millions) Beginning End Beginning End In the U.S.: T.J.

(Vicarious or Vicarious Surgical or the Company), a next-generation robotics technology company seeking to improve both cost and efficiency of surgical procedures as well as patient outcomes, and D8 Holdings Corp. (D8) (NYSE: DEH), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement. Upon the closing of this transaction, the combined company will operate as Vicarious Surgical Inc. and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the new ticker symbol \"RBOT. Management Commentary Seven years ago, we started this company in order to solve the long-standing and persistent issues presented by open surgery, standard minimally invasive surgery and legacy robotic surgery, said Adam Sachs, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Vicarious Surgical. Legacy robotic platforms were introduced with a promise of solving the challenges of open surgery; unfortunately, these legacy robotic platforms have significant limitations including prohibitive cost of adoption, limited mobility and capabilities in the body and required space, set up time and lengthy training. After more than two decades on the market, it is no surprise that legacy robotic penetration is just 3%1. Our robotic solution has arms that replicate human motion, offering remarkable mobility with 9 degrees of freedom per arm with 360-degree visualization, all through a 1.5 cm incision. Our robot can see, reach, and work anywhere inside the abdomen, which effectively shrinks the surgeon and puts her/him inside the human body. Our system fits through a standard door making it portable from operating room to operating room, and does not require a large footprint or facility construction build-out. With cost of goods that are significantly lower than competing products, we believe our robotic solution will offer a cost-effective path to improving patient outcomes and increasing the efficiency of surgical procedures for hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers. We are incredibly proud of the development work we have accomplished to date, which led to our product becoming the first, and only, surgical robot to receive breakthrough designation from the FDA2. Mr. Sachs continued: We are extremely excited to announce our partnership with Donald Tang, David Chu and the rest of the D8 team, which we believe will assist in catalyzing the development of our flagship robot and in establishing a foundation of long-term growth for our Company. Mr. Tang and the D8 team appreciate the potential impact our technology can have on making procedures safer and more available to patients, while simultaneously saving hospitals money and time. We look forward to entering the public markets with the team from D8 at our side. D8 reviewed numerous investment opportunities in search of an exciting growth company to merge with and Vicarious Surgical impressed us with their visionary team and market disrupting products, said Donald Tang, Co-founder and President of D8 Holdings Corp. Beyond the technology and the capabilities of Vicarious Surgicals robot, we were also excited about the positive feedback from surgeons and hospitals. We consider Vicarious Surgical to be a thought leader in the surgical space and we believe the market is ready for surgical robots that drive efficiency and improved quality of patient care. We are excited to work with the Vicarious Surgical team on the next phase of commercialization for their products, bringing what we believe is much needed innovation and choice to patients and practitioners, both in the U.S. and abroad. Company Overview Vicarious Surgical is a next generation robotics company developing a disruptive technology with the goal of increasing the efficiency of surgical procedures, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

Key Transaction Terms The transaction is expected to deliver up to $460 million of gross proceeds, including up to $345 million of cash held in D8s trust account (assuming no redemptions are effected).

The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) remains stable. The ratings reflect Emanis balance sheet strength, which AM Best categorises as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. Emanis balance sheet strength is underpinned by risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level, as measured by Bests Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), taking into account the mutuals ability to make supplementary capital calls to its members and its financial flexibility. In the unlikely event of a full limit loss, there would be a material depletion of capital due to the large net line size offered by Emani to its members relative to its capital base. However, AM Best believes that the mutuals contractual right to call retrospective premium for six times each members annualised premium contribution would enable the mutual to rebuild its capital base quickly. Emani has good financial flexibility, underpinned by its articles of association, which allows the mutual to write down its liabilities in the event that claims exceed its capital base. The mutuals dependence on reinsurance to offer a large gross line size is considered an offsetting factor in the assessment. Emani has a track record of strong technical performance, demonstrated by a loss ratio averaging 30% during the five-year period ending in 2019. The mutual reported a net combined ratio of 137% in 2019, driven by two mid-size losses. Prospective performance is expected to revert to historic norms, albeit subject to volatility, consistent with a claims profile that is dominated by an infrequent number of low to mid-size losses. Emani has an established position in the nuclear energy sector, writing property and terror cover for nuclear facilities. The mutual provides capacity to over a third of nuclear operators globally, giving the mutual a leading role in its market. Emani also benefits from favourable market conditions, with demand for nuclear coverage expected to remain strong through the medium term. The mutuals narrow focus and the high risk nature of the business written are considered offsetting factors in the assessment.

(New Gold or the Company) (TSX and NYSE American: NGD) reports fourth quarter and annual operational results for the Company as of December 31, 2020, achieving the mid-range of the revised annual production guidance (refer to the Company's July 30, 2020 news release for further information). An earnings conference call and webcast will be held on February 19, 2021 beginning at 8:30 am Eastern Time to discuss the fourth quarter financial results (details provided at the end of this news release). All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. The Rainy River Mine achieved the higher end of the revised annual gold equivalent production1 guidance and continued to meet, or exceed, all key operational and cost targets. All deferred construction capital has been completed and the Rainy River Mine is now positioned for strong production growth at lower costs and higher margins that will drive strong free cash flow generation over the life of the mine. The New Afton Mine achieved the mid-range of the revised annual gold equivalent production guidance (copper production achieved the mid-range and gold production achieved the lower end). Operational performance continued to improve over the prior quarter and benefited from the stronger copper prices realized during the quarter. A strategic drilling program was launched in October to unlock the epithermal and porphyry potential of the Cherry Creek trend as well as other near mine targets. Sustainability and ESG New Gold has four key areas of focus: Water, Climate, Indigenous Peoples and Tailings Management. In 2020, New Gold refocused its sustainability efforts to align with the most pressing ESG reporting issues facing the industry. We have adopted an embedded, systems-based approach to execute on our sustainability strategy that aligns with ESG global standards beginning in 2021. Consolidated Fourth Quarter Highlights 1. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures\" section of this press release. \"During the year, we repositioned the Company for long-term success as we transition to free cash flow generation in 2021. We improved our operational and cost performance, executed on our strategic capital plans, restructured our balance sheet and improved our liquidity position and we have shifted our focus to driving further operational and cost optimizations at both our assets. We begin the new year as a much stronger company with a growing, higher-margin production profile, and following the expiration of our gold hedges at the end of 2020, we are now fully exposed to the higher gold price as well as the stronger copper price. stated Renaud Adams, CEO. The Rainy River Mine is now entering a phase of strong production growth and free cash flow generation and has the potential to extend the life of the underground mine. At the New Afton Mine, we continue to advance all key B3/C-Zone projects on a self-funded basis that will position this asset for a robust free cash flow stream as the C-Zone begins production in the latter part of 2023. We have launched exploration drilling programs at both assets that could increase our resource inventory and potentially extend mine life.

Net production is forecast to average approximately 310,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2021, excluding Libya. Bakken net production is forecast to average approximately 170,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2021. This forecast includes the impact of operating a two rig program beginning in the first quarter and a planned 45-day turnaround and expansion tie-in at the Tioga Gas Plant in the third quarter, which is expected to reduce full year 2021 Bakken net production by approximately 7,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Our capital program reflects our disciplined approach in the current oil price environment to preserve cash, core capabilities and the long term value of our assets, CEO John Hess said. The majority of our 2021 budget is allocated to Guyana, where our three sanctioned oil developments have a Brent breakeven oil price of between $25 and $35 per barrel, and to the Bakken, where we have a large inventory of future drilling locations that generate attractive financial returns at current prices. By investing only in high return, low cost opportunities, we have built a differentiated portfolio of assets that we believe will provide industry leading cash flow growth over the course of the decade. Chief Operating Officer Greg Hill said: In the Bakken, we plan to add a second rig during the first quarter, which will allow us to sustain production and cash flow generation from this important asset. Offshore Guyana, our focus in 2021 will be on advancing our next two sanctioned developments to first oil Liza Phase 2 in early 2022 and Payara in 2024 and on front end engineering and design work for future development phases on the Stabroek Block. We also will continue to invest in an active exploration and appraisal program, with 12-15 wells planned on the Stabroek Block. The $1.9 billion budget is allocated as follows: $670 million (35%) for production, $780 million (41%) for offshore Guyana developments and $450 million (24%) for exploration and appraisal activities.

Results reveal a major disconnect between a majority of men, who believe shirtless pictures helps their chances of finding love, and women, who believe this imagery portrays immaturity. Before posting this summer's oceanfront shirtless snapshot, consider the following standout findings from Dating.com's latest survey: On average, Men with shirtless pictures displayed on their profile have 25% fewer matches. Yet, nearly 90% of men believe that shirtless pictures help their chances of landing a match. More than half of all women surveyed (66%) indicate that shirtless pictures implies a lack of maturity and self-awareness. 76% of women said they'd be unlikely to consider dating a man with shirtless images displayed in their profile for a committed relationship. 15% would be open to a hookup and 9% would consider a friendship. Three out of every five male dating profiles contains at least one shirtless picture. One out of every five female dating profiles contains at least one bikini/bathing suit picture. This same group of women had a more than 40% increase in overall match rates, compared to their covered up counterparts. Members of the LGBTQ+ community are four times more likely to include a shirtless picture in their dating profile. And if modesty isn't typically your strong suit, our experts suggest working towards the following: Analyze the current status of your online dating profile. Replace any shirtless pictures with those that still represent you and your personality, but in a less proactive manner. Family, pet and travel photos are always super lovable and attractive! Wait until you get to know more about your online match before starting to show some skin. Love isn't about looks, and leading with shirtless pictures sends the message that appearance is what you value most. If you'd like to show off your body, plan a beach date together with your new match - socially distanced, of course! This creates a more natural opportunity for you and your match to see a bit more of each other. \"We're here to make online dating more effective for all involved by sharing what we know about dating preferences,\" says Maria Sullivan, dating expert and Vice President of Dating.com. \"As masses of new users enter the online dating scene, given the current lack of in-person relationship-building opportunities amid the pandemic, we want to inform the public of common profile pitfalls before they miss out on a match.\" There is someone special waiting for everyone on Dating.com's extensive, international network of singles.

The store is currently under construction in the Flatiron District at 1 Madison Avenue (aka 24 East 23rd Street), off Madison Square Park. Hershman has opened and acquired five 16 Handles frozen yogurt franchises throughout New York City, including a Times Square flagship, and says that bringing Dippin' Dots to a central downtown Manhattan location presents a unique opportunity to grow his dessert empire. \"I focus on brands that offer great products, but more importantly great experiences, and I believe that the new Dippin' Dots and Doc Popcorn flagship on Madison Square Park will be an outstanding addition to my portfolio,\" said Hershman. \"I grew up like many others eating Dippin' Dots exclusively at an amusement park or sports game. I wanted to bring that same experience to the millions of young adults and families traveling through Manhattan daily, knowing full well the multi-generational brand recognition that Dippin' Dots has earned by making such a delicious and unique treat for 30+ years,\" said Hershman. \"Adding the complementary Doc Popcorn co-brand was also a no-brainer for me because I love the boutique-style, high quality popcorn and believe the new brand has big potential in New York if it can attract the loyal daytime customer looking for a healthy snack alternative. I'm likewise optimistic on the eventual return of normalcy to New York City within the next 24 months and look forward to building out a strong catering and delivery business for both brands.\" By combining two leading snack and treat brands in one space, the new dual-concept store will give New Yorkers the opportunity to satisfy sweet and savory snack cravings with the offerings of Doc Popcorn's fresh-popped, kettle-cooked popcorn and Dippin' Dots' ice cream. When opened, the store will include favorite ice cream flavors like Rainbow Ice, Cookies and Cream and BananaSplit, in addition to several popcorn flavors, including Better Butter and Caramel Bliss. \"We are excited to partner with Neil as an experienced franchisee to bring our brands to New York City in such a marquee location,\" said Steve Rothenstein, Senior Director of Franchising for Dippin' Dots and Doc Popcorn. \"The new store represents a true partnership between our corporate team and a franchisee for this flagship location.\" Construction updates and future details for the store's official opening can be found by following @DippinDotsNYC on Instagram.

The Middle East herbal shampoo market is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.57% during the forecast period (2020 - 2025). The demand for herbal shampoo in the region is majorly boosted by increased consumer demand for sustainable, chemical-free, and eco-friendly products, along with a surge in product developments cued from contemporary market potentials. This drives manufacturers to the emerging category of Ayurveda and botanical extracts, gaining traction for its functional and earthy subtlety among consumers. Companies are even bringing premiumization in the herbal shampoo category to appeal to consumers by personalizing it to meet their needs and emphasizing its superior quality or exclusivity. Additionally, consumer demand for zero-waste products is growing with the increased awareness regarding climate change and the contribution of meager waste management to this devastation. Key Market Trends Increased Preference For Herbal Products Owing to Functional Benefits The growing preference for chemical-free products and the rising popularity of environmentally-sustainable products drive the demand for herbal shampoo in the region. The natural ingredients used in hair segments are amla, bhringaraj, reetha, hibiscus, neem, tulsi, shikakai, etc. When used as herbs, these ingredients give essential nutrition required by the hair for their healthier and stronger growth. Furthermore, modern shampoos use silicone to compensate silky rich feel of the hair, but these are reported as hazardous to the environment, as they are not easily decomposed. However, the same silky texture is given by certain herbs, like hibiscus, that is nature friendly. Premium Shampoos Emerging as New Splurge Worthy Segment Backed by splendid economic state and high purchasing power of Middle Eastern consumers, the premiumization bandwagon has become more like a market driver than a trend in the region. The fad, which was initially pervasive in fashion products, has taken over the personal care industry, making herbal and botanical-based products its primary carrier. Manufacturers are using this as a strategy to make their brand more appealing to consumers by personalizing it to meet their needs and emphasizing its superior quality or exclusivity. Moreover, it is distinctly feasible for manufacturers to turn an Ayurvedic- or herbs-derived shampoo into a highly luxurious and better product, making consumers believe that it can enhance their hair health. Competitive Landscape The market studied is consolidated, with major market share held by the leading players, including Dabur India Ltd, Procter & Gamble, the Himalaya Drug Company, and Unilever PLC.

McCormick Flavor Forecast 21st Edition Reveals Global Trends Driving the Tastes of Tomorrow McCormick team members across five global regions connected with notable culinary experts to uncover the latest innovations in flavor. The research over the past year included a series of virtual, interactive at-home culinary experiences led by chefs exploring a range of flavors from nutritious to indulgent that offer unique tastes, colors, and textures for both food and drinks. \"The pandemic sizably shifted the way we have lived our lives over the past year, yet food continues to be a way to bring people together, even virtually.

One of the most important outcomes of this merger is that Stellantis will become the largest van maker not just in Europe but across the world as well. In 2019, FCA and PSA (together) sold 1.12 million LCVs and vans, accounting for 13% of the global market share. The impact of this consolidation will be especially evident in Europe's most profitable vehicle segment, that is, light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and vans. LCV demand has been increasing steadily over the past 5 years in Europe due to the high penetration of eCommerce. After integrating Opel-Vauxhall into its portfolio in 2017, PSA attained a leading position in the European LCV space. After this merger, FCA and PSA (together) will control more than 34% of the LCV market share in Europe. The future outlook is positive due to increasing orders from delivery service providers, which will further drive LCV demand in Europe in the near future. More than sales volumes, the importance of LCVs for Stellantis lies in their profitability. LCVs offer lower production and development costs than passenger vehicles (PVs), resulting in higher profit margins in the range of 8-11% for OEMs. In addition, customers do not expect advanced technology features in vans, which further reduces production costs. Profitability also comes from shared platforms among OEMs, which allows for common parts and component sharing. This reduces the cost per vehicle for OEMs and raises profit margins. FCA and PSA have a 30-year joint development relationship in the LCV space; therefore, the synergies associated with shared van development already exist for Stellantis. PSA also produces LCVs for Toyota, and Stellantis will increase production capacity for Toyota to win merger approval from the EU. This can increase Stellantis' market share up to 36%. LCV electrification is another important objective that both PSA and FCA are trying to accomplish. In Europe, electric LCVs (eLCVs) are expected to account for 15% of the total LCV share by 2025 and nearly 35% by 2030. With a big push from European pollution reduction regulations, OEMs are looking at the electrification of their LCV fleets as a viable option and are expanding their electric LCV lineups. PSA has begun electrifying its small vans. The Group expects 100% electrification of its LCV lineup by 2021. PSA's LCV electrification strategy will lay the foundation for Stellantis to maintain and strengthen the Group's leading position in the European LCV market. Key Topics Covered: 1.

Physicians at HSHS St. John's Hospital in Springfield, IL treated the first patient in the U.S. DeLIVER study, \"we are excited to be participating in this ground-breaking, minimally invasive treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes,\" stated Krishna Rocha-Singh, M.D., Chief Scientific Officer of the Prairie Heart Institute. \"There remains a substantial unmet clinical need for improved treatment options in the management of type 2 diabetes. The prospect of adding an endovascular therapy as an adjunct to the care of this challenging patient population is compelling and exciting.\" People with T2D have abnormal levels of sugar, also known as glucose, in their blood. A key contributor to this unwanted glucose is often the patient's own liver. The liver plays a central role in the proper regulation of glucose levels, but excessive release of glucose into the bloodstream by the liver, triggered by overactive sympathetic nerve signaling, can be a major limitation in the control of T2D. Metavention's patented iRF Denervation System is designed to be a one-time transcatheter procedure utilizing radio frequency energy to inhibit overactive sympathetic nerve signaling to the liver, thereby improving overall glucose control. \"T2D continues to be a global epidemic. Patients are expected to accept lifelong daily use of complex and expensive drug regimens with high probability of disease progression, resulting in insulin dependence and serious health complications,\" said Todd Berg, CEO of Metavention. \"Metavention's iRF Denervation System has the potential to provide patients with a fundamentally new treatment option for the management of their T2D by targeting an underlying cause of their disease.\" About Type 2 Diabetes T2D is a chronic, progressive disease that affects more than 400 million people worldwide. Despite significant treatment efforts with lifestyle changes and medications, about 50% of patients fail to achieve adequate blood sugar control, putting them at a higher risk of complications. Potential complications of T2D include increased risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and narrowing of blood vessels (atherosclerosis), nerve damage, kidney failure, glaucoma, and blindness. About Metavention Inc. Developer of the iRF Denervation System,Metavention, Inc. is a privately held medical device company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This procedure is intended to be a \"one and done\" adjunctive therapy that provides improved control of T2D, high blood pressure, and other metabolic diseases.

PETERSBURG, Fla., May 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Having closely tracked the impact of COVID-19 on buying behavior in grocery and drug stores since mid-February, shopper intelligence leader Catalina has compared sales data with its partner Koupon, the leading promotion solution provider for small format retail, to gain a more holistic understanding of the pandemic's impact on cross-channel consumer purchases.While wine, beer and spirits have each experienced a boost in sales during the pandemic across grocery, drug and c-store channels, the wine category has seen particularly strong sales growth. Wine Category Sees Strong Gains across the Board Catalina's shopping data reveals a significant increase in wine sales for the 10-week period beginning Feb. 23 through May 2, 2020 across grocery and drug channels, when sheltering in place became more common vs. the same period a year ago: Wine total dollar sales increased by 38%, with unit sales up by 32% The number of wine buyers increased by 16% Dollars spent per wine buyer were up 15% -- from $62.74 to $71.94 (for the total 10-week period) Units purchased per wine buyer were up 10% -- from 6.3 to 6.9 (for the total 10-week period) 46% of wine buyers made a repeat purchase (2+ trips during the 10-week period) vs. 36% a year ago In 2020, 45% of trips included purchases of two or more bottles of wine, compared to 36% of trips in 2019 3+ bottles were purchased this year on 19% of trips, compared to 14% of trips last year 6+ bottles were purchased this year on 7.3% of trips, compared to 5.8% of trips last year Many new buyers have entered the category as well, and they are making repeat purchases. New category buyers in grocery & drug (they didn't buy the category in the previous 52 weeks): % new buyers % new buyers repeating Wine - COVID period (10 weeks) +13% +21% Wine - same period year ago +11% +15% Beer - COVID period (10 weeks) +10% +21% Beer - same period year ago +10% +16% Spirits - COVID period (10 weeks) +18% +19% Spirits - same period year ago +16% +13% Across alcoholic beverages, wine has seen the greatest overall increase compared to the pre-COVID period: Total dollar sales vs. a year ago (grocery/drug): 6 weeks pre-COVID 10-Week COVID period Change Wine +4% +38% +34 pts Beer +9% +35% +26 pts Spirits +10% +42% +32 pts According to Koupon, as virtual happy hours have become more popular, there has been a clear shift toward C-store visits later in the day, and a corresponding increase in the sales of adult beverages. In the C-store channel, for the same 10-week period vs. year ago: Wine total dollar sales were up 9%, beer was up 6%, and spirits up 24% 32% of wine buyers were new to the category within c-store, and 17% of these first-time buyers have made a repeat purchase For consumers buying both before and during the crisis, wine basket size was up 4%, beer up 11% and spirits up 6% Wine Industry Perspectives\"During times of crisis, new behaviors and habits emerge for some consumers while others return to the familiar,\" said Stephanie Gallo, Chief Marketing Officer, E. & J. Gallo. \"The rise of virtual observances - happy hours, baby showers, birthdays and even weddings - means consumers are using technology in new ways while enjoying wine and spirits as a part of their connections. Several of our wineries are now engaging consumers through weekly virtual happy hours with winemakers and cooking demonstrations with chefs.\"Added Jeff Dubiel, Chief Marketing Officer of The Wine Group, \"During the initial panic-buy period, the wine category saw the same consumer pantry-loading behaviors as other categories like paper towels and shelf-stable goods. As we have seen with previous crises, the increased purchase and consumption continued to hold following the initial wave of pantry-loading as consumers adapted to sheltering in place. Americans are resilient, and we have seen and heard wine enthusiasts finding inventive news ways, such as virtual happy hours and wine tastings - to enjoy their favorite beverages with friends and family.\"Adapting for a New NormalFor the week ending May 3, convenience store sales have returned to year-over-year growth levels across the majority of in-store categories. As more states begin to reopen and consumers adjust to a new normal, consumer goods producers, including the wine category, will continue to adapt.\"We have seen shifts in consumer behavior where larger indulgences like vacations are being replaced with small moments of joy and reward, such as a nice glass of wine at the end of the day. Consumers are moving toward leading brands that are comfortable and familiar,\" said Jeff Dubiel. \"The way consumers interact, shop and spend their time has morphed into a more digital experience, so our ability to quickly adjust our engagement during the pandemic has been important. As an example, when the Coachella music festival was postponed, Cupcake Vineyards provided a 'Couchella' live stream event and a chance to win Coachella tickets for the rescheduled event in October.\"Stephanie Gallo explained, \"Maintaining a sense of community matters more now than ever, and people are looking for ways to discovernew ways to fill their time at home. Because many arepeople are turning to cooking, we'velaunched a weekly cooking demo 'Supper Series'on Saturdays and Sundays on Instagram Live, hosted by @louismmartiniwineryExecutive Chef Jeffery Russell and @ J Vineyards & WineryExecutive Chef Carl Shelton.

The Greek yogurt market size was valued at $7.2 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $11.2 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 10.9% from 2019 to 2027. Fermented dairy products are major source of probiotic bacteria. Fermented milk is prepared through inoculation of culture and enzyme, which converts lactose to lactic acid. This inoculation and fermentation process of milk offers various range of products such as butter, cheese, yogurt, Kefir, and others. Flavored yogurt is a fermented dairy product with added flavors and multiple health benefits. It is a preferred breakfast, snack, dessert, or beverage among health-conscious consumers. The fermented milk products mainly yogurt, butter, and cheese have gained popularity, as they have higher demand in various fast foods. Flavored yogurt is available in the market in various product types such as set, frozen, drinkable, and Greek. Greek yogurt is yogurt that is been strained to remove its whey content, which results in a thicker consistency of yogurt than the regular unstrained yogurt, while preserving the original yogurt's distinctive sour taste. Greek yogurt is often made with fermentation process. Additives such as sweeteners, flavors, and fruits are used to enhance the aroma, taste, and consistency of yogurt products. Food & beverage manufacturers have invested a lot in R&D to enhance characteristics, taste, and nutritional value of flavored Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has almost every nutrient needed for the human body and is considered as an effective food for weight loss and nutritional diet. It is rich in a range of nutrients including calcium, vitamins, and trace minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. Significant protein content in the Greek yogurt influences appetite control and suppresses hunger.

Apart from health benefits, fermentation process helps to prolong the shelf life of the dairy products and also enhances the taste and aroma of the products. Hence, versatile properties exhibited by Greek yogurt are attributed to the significant growth of the Greek yogurt market. Growth in demand for flavored yogurt in emerging nations is attributed to the rise in disposable income, innovative flavors of Greek yogurt products offered by key players, and an increase in health awareness among consumers. This is expected to provide numerous opportunities for the expansion of the global Greek yogurt market. However, presence of additives and stringent regulations related to strain of culture used in fermentation of milk limits the market growth.
