PLANTATION, Fla., Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: AENT), a scaled entertainment commerce and collectibles platform serving content owners, brands, retailers and fans across music, movies, gaming, licensed merchandise and collectibles, with proprietary brands, authentication technology and reach across more than 35,000 retail and e-commerce storefronts, reported its financial and operational results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights

• Net Revenues: Increased 8% to $1.149 billion, compared with $1.063 billion in fiscal 2025.
• Gross Profit and Margin: Gross profit increased 15% to $152.3 million from $132.9 million, while gross margin expanded 80 basis points to 13.3% from 12.5%.
• GAAP Results: Operating income was $27.2 million and net income was $13.1 million, compared with $30.1 million and $15.1 million, respectively. Fiscal 2026 included a $7.8 million non-cash write-off of a historical vendor rebate receivable.
• Adjusted EBITDA: Increased 14% to $41.5 million, compared with $36.5 million in fiscal 2025.
• Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS: Adjusted net income increased 24% to $23.4 million, compared with $18.9 million in fiscal 2025, while adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 24% to $0.46 from $0.37.
• Interest Expense: Decreased 28% to $7.6 million from $10.6 million, reflecting a lower average effective interest rate following the Company’s refinancing.
• Cash Flow and Liquidity: Net cash used in operating activities was $1.7 million, compared with $26.8 million of net cash provided in fiscal 2025, primarily reflecting increased inventory and receivables to support growth. The Company ended fiscal 2026 with $45.7 million of availability under its $120 million revolving credit facility.

“Fiscal 2026 demonstrated that the strategy we have been executing is strengthening both the quality of our business and our position across the entertainment ecosystem,” said Jeff Walker, Chief Executive Officer of Alliance Entertainment. “The market for physical entertainment continues to evolve toward premium formats, collectible products and more specialized distribution, and those changes are playing directly to the capabilities we have built over more than three decades. Our expanding relationships with major content owners, including Paramount and Amazon MGM Studios, reinforce the value of our scale, infrastructure, and ability to manage increasingly complex physical entertainment programs across wholesale, retail, and e-commerce channels.”

“Our opportunity is increasingly broader than traditional distribution,” Walker continued. “We are using the same infrastructure and relationships that support our core business to expand into higher-value collectibles, proprietary products, fulfillment services and new capabilities such as authentication and digital product identity. Our focus is not simply on putting more volume through the platform, but on improving the value and economics of what moves through it. As the entertainment market becomes more specialized and content owners and retailers look for scaled partners that can manage that complexity, we believe Alliance is increasingly well positioned to capture those opportunities and create durable long-term value.”

“Fiscal 2026 was a year of strong execution for Alliance Entertainment,” said Amanda Gnecco, Chief Financial Officer of Alliance Entertainment. “We expanded gross margins, grew gross profit faster than revenue and delivered growth in adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These results demonstrate the progress we’ve made in strengthening the earnings profile of the business while continuing to invest in the products, capabilities and partnerships that support our long-term growth strategy.”

“Looking ahead to fiscal 2027, we are excited about the opportunities in front of us,” Gnecco added. “Our focus remains on driving profitable growth, improving cash generation and increasing operating leverage as we continue to scale the business. Combined with lower borrowing costs, solid liquidity and continued investment in automation and technology, we believe we are well positioned to deliver continued value for our customers, partners and shareholders.”

Strategic & Operating Highlights

• Physical Music Demand Remained Strong Across Formats: Vinyl revenue increased 13% to $383 million, while CD revenue increased 25% to $156 million. Growth across both formats reflects sustained consumer demand for physical ownership, premium editions and collectible-oriented releases, reinforcing the durability of physical music as an important part of Alliance’s portfolio.
• Home Entertainment Growth Reinforced Alliance’s Strategic Position with Major Studios: Physical movie revenue increased 22% to $339 million, supported by higher unit volumes and the Company’s expanding studio relationships. Alliance’s exclusive physical-media distribution relationship with Paramount and the addition of Amazon MGM Studios during fiscal 2026 further strengthen the Company’s role as a scaled partner for content owners seeking to manage physical entertainment distribution across wholesale, retail and e-commerce channels.
• Collectibles Continued to Expand as a Higher-Value Growth Category: Collectibles revenue increased 45% to $32 million, supported by higher average selling prices, expanded licensed merchandise offerings and continued development of proprietary products. The Company is leveraging its existing entertainment relationships and distribution infrastructure to broaden its participation in premium fan and collector categories, including through its owned Handmade by Robots™ brand.
• Fulfillment Growth and Automation Investments Enhanced Platform Scalability: Distribution and fulfillment fee revenue increased 26% to $18.6 million as Alliance continued to expand its role as an omnichannel logistics and fulfillment partner. During fiscal 2026, the Company ordered 5,000 additional totes for its AutoStore system, increasing capacity to 57,000 totes and supporting higher throughput while maintaining fulfillment labor efficiency.
• Authentication and Digital Identity Expanded Alliance’s Platform Capabilities: Following the acquisition and integration of Endstate, Alliance continued developing NFC-enabled authentication and digital product identity capabilities through Endstate Authentic and Alliance Authentic™. These initiatives are designed to extend the Company’s participation beyond initial product distribution into areas such as authenticated ownership, provenance, brand protection and resale, creating additional long-term opportunities across premium physical products and collectibles.

Fiscal 2026 Financial Review

The improvement in gross margin during fiscal 2026 reflected stronger margins in physical movies and collectibles, increased contribution from premium and exclusive content, favorable product mix and returns activity, and lower wholesale freight costs as a percentage of sales. A portion of the increase in gross profit was offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, which increased to $66.0 million from $56.0 million, primarily reflecting higher payroll and employee-related costs to support growth, as well as increased consulting and professional-service costs associated with strategic initiatives and public-company operations. Fiscal 2026 also included a $7.8 million non-cash write-off of a historical vendor rebate receivable associated with Tastemakers following the counterparty’s cessation of operations. The Company does not consider this charge representative of its ongoing operating performance.

Operating cash flow in fiscal 2026 was principally affected by increased working-capital investment to support the Company’s higher revenue base and anticipated customer demand. Working capital increased to $62.4 million at June 30, 2026, from $45.4 million a year earlier. Inventory and trade receivables increased at rates above the Company’s 8% revenue growth during the year, contributing to the year-over-year decline in operating cash flow. In fiscal 2027, management’s objective is to convert a greater share of earnings into operating cash flow by moderating working-capital growth relative to revenue, increasing inventory productivity and strengthening receivable collections.

The Company benefited from lower borrowing costs during fiscal 2026, with its average effective interest rate declining to 6.1% from 9.2% following its refinancing with Bank of America in October 2025. The Company had $74.3 million outstanding under its $120 million revolving credit facility, with $45.7 million of remaining availability, The facility also provides, subject to certain conditions and lender consent, for up to $50 million of additional borrowing capacity, providing further potential financial flexibility as the business grows. The Company was in compliance with applicable covenants at year-end. During fiscal 2026, the Company also repaid $10.0 million of related-party borrowings, further simplifying its financing structure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not measurements of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, earnings per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, acquisition and deal-related costs, changes in the fair value of warrants and vendor transaction loss, insurance claim recoveries, and restructuring costs and net gains and losses on the disposal of assets. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash charges and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, acquisition and deal-related costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, changes in the fair value of warrants and litigation costs and settlements, regulatory assessments and insurance settlements, and the income tax expense effect of these adjustments. We define Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the same manner. We present the Non-GAAP Financial Measures because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

The following tables reconcile the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income, for the years presented:

Tenable credits market share leadership to continued platform innovation, including agentic AI advancements and demand for securing AI environments

COLUMBIA, Md., Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tenable^® Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TENB), the exposure management company, today announced that it has been ranked first in worldwide market share in the IDC Worldwide Device Vulnerability and Exposure Management Market Shares report (doc #US53903826, August 2026).

Exposure management is a fundamental and necessary shift in how businesses perceive and reduce risk in the AI era. Defenders have reached a crossroads: the volume of critical and complex threats has increased exponentially, and they have increasingly less time to assess and respond before AI-enabled attackers strike. The Tenable One Exposure Management Platform was purpose-built to address this challenge, helping customers better understand cyber risk, prioritize action and defend against evolving cyberattacks.

According to the IDC Market Shares report, “Tenable held its ground as the clear market leader, retaining 24.6% share in the worldwide device vulnerability and exposure management market, which is nearly $260 million ahead of its nearest competitor.”

Tenable credits its market share position to its ongoing platform advancements designed to unify visibility, deliver precise contextualized exposure intelligence, and accelerate and automate action across the enterprise. In recent months, Tenable introduced autonomous, always-on capabilities in Tenable Hexa AI, the agentic AI engine of Tenable One, expanded Tenable One AI Exposure capabilities to cover all major AI platforms and developer tools, expanded coverage into application security environments and extended its platform’s continuous security control and validation capabilities.

Tenable is committed to actively shaping the future of AI-driven exposure management through continued platform innovation and strategic work with OpenAI and Anthropic. In addition to participating in both the OpenAI Daybreak Defense Network and Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, Tenable recently announced the availability of Claude Mythos 5 within Tenable One, helping customers better understand cyber risk, prioritize action and defend against evolving cyberattacks.

“We believe our eight consecutive years of market share leadership reflect our commitment to delivering the continuous innovation that sets the standard for exposure management,” said Mark Thurmond, co-chief executive officer, Tenable. “We’re empowering customers to transform their organization’s defense for the AI era by equipping them with the comprehensive visibility, advanced analytics and AI technology required to outpace today’s adversaries.”

“It can’t be overstated: exposure management is foundational and thus necessary to understand, validate and prioritize exposures before they can be exploited by AI-enabled attackers,” said Michelle Abraham, VP of Research, Security and Trust, IDC. “Boards, insurers and regulators are pushing security teams from conversations about the number of vulnerabilities to how much risk remains. Organizations that embrace exposure management principles can reduce risk, improve remediation efficiency, and demonstrate measurable progress to stakeholders.”

Adams Fairacre Farms, King Arthur Baking Company, and the City of Pittsfield, MA honored for excellence in sustainability

RUTLAND, Vt., Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CWST) (“Casella”), a regional solid waste, recycling, and resource management services company, has honored three organizations for their leadership in sustainability as part of Casella’s annual Sustainability Leadership Awards.

The Casella Sustainability Leadership Awards recognize customers who demonstrate what can be achieved through collaboration to reduce waste, increase recycling, and advance the circular economy. Each year, winners are selected from a diverse group of nominees, including municipalities, businesses, manufacturers, and higher education and healthcare institutions.

“Congratulations to Adams Fairacre Farms, King Arthur Baking Company, and the City of Pittsfield on this well-deserved recognition,” said Ned Coletta, President and CEO of Casella. “The most effective sustainability solutions are the ones that deliver real environmental and economic value. These organizations are showing what can be accomplished when strong partnerships are combined with a willingness to rethink how resources are managed. We’re proud to work alongside them and recognize the meaningful progress they are making in their organizations and communities.”

From implementing innovative waste diversion programs to transforming municipal recycling systems, this year’s award recipients demonstrate the environmental and economic benefits of thoughtful materials management.

Their stories are featured at casella.com/sla, where visitors can learn more about how they are reducing waste and helping create more sustainable communities.

2026 Casella Sustainability Leadership Award Winners

Adams Fairacre Farms is a family-owned grocery and garden center business that began as a small farmstand and has grown into a beloved regional retailer in the Hudson Valley of New York. Adams Fairacre has worked in partnership with the local Casella team to add compost service at all five of its locations. With a focus on keeping the service clear and simple, the teams have established a successful program that reliably recovers clean food waste for local composters. The initiative benefits the organization while also supporting sustainability in the local community.

King Arthur Baking Company is a more than 200-year-old, employee-owned Certified B Corporation, and a nationally recognized baking brand headquartered in Vermont’s Upper Valley Region. As part of its 2023 sustainability strategy, the organization has set a zero-waste goal and a commitment to work towards packaging with 50% post-consumer recycled content. To support these goals, Casella provides monthly diversion reports, educational resources, and ongoing service enhancements. King Arthur was an early adopter of the first Casella ARC™ Operation, through which local manufacturers collaborated to establish a specialty recycling facility tailored to their unique needs.

The City of Pittsfield, MA, Berkshire County’s largest city and home to approximately 43,000 residents, recently worked with Casella to complete a major overhaul of its solid waste service model, transitioning from unlimited curbside pickup to a standardized cart system designed to drive higher recycling rates while reducing waste costs. Elements of the program include automated collection for safety and efficiency, 48-gallon carts to encourage recycling, and a mobile app to provide residential service notifications and recycling education. Following these changes, recycling volumes have risen by 20%, helping reduce the municipality’s reliance on shrinking regional disposal capacity.

About Casella Waste Systems, Inc.

Casella Waste Systems, Inc., headquartered in Rutland, Vermont, provides resource management expertise and services to residential, commercial, municipal, institutional and industrial customers, primarily in the areas of solid waste collection and disposal, transfer, recycling and organics services in the eastern United States.

LYNNWOOD, Wash., Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zumiez Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) a leading specialty retailer of apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories for young men and women, today reported results for the second quarter ended August 1, 2026.

Net sales for the second quarter ended August 1, 2026 (13 weeks) decreased 2.5% to $209.0 million from $214.3 million in the second quarter ended August 2, 2025 (13 weeks).   Comparable sales for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2026, decreased 2.1%. Net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $2.7 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per share, in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Total net sales for the six months (26 weeks) ending August 1, 2026 increased 0.9% to $402.3 million from $398.6 million reported for the six months (26 weeks) ending August 2, 2025.   Comparable sales increased 0.7% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2026. Net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2026 was $16.0 million, or $1.00 per share, compared to a net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2025 of $15.3 million, or $0.88 per share.

On August 1, 2026, the Company had cash and current marketable securities of $97.3 million compared to cash and current marketable securities of $106.7 million on August 2, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by $34.5 million related to share repurchases and $10.6 million of capital expenditures partially offset by $35.7 million of cash flow from operations. The Company repurchased 1.2 million shares during the second quarter of 2026 at an average cost including commission of $19.30 per share and a total cost of $23.2 million. Fiscal year-to-date through August 1, 2026, the Company has repurchased 1.5 million shares at an average cost including commission of $20.07 per share and a total cost of $29.5 million.

“Second quarter results came in below last year driven by weaker performance in the U.S., which was primarily driven by continued softness in footwear as well as lower traffic levels,” said Rick Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc. “The decline in the U.S. business was partially offset by continued growth across our other regions, underscoring the strength and diversification of our global business. Our back-to-school trend was similar to our second quarter results with the U.S. being our toughest performing market after two years of low double digit comparable store sales growth for the same periods, partially offset by comparable sales gains internationally. As we look forward to the holiday season, we remain focused on refining our merchandise assortments and deepening our customer experience initiatives to improve the trajectory.”

Third Quarter To-Date

Third quarter-to-date net sales for the 37 days ending September 7, 2026, decreased 4.3%, compared with the 37-day period in the prior year ending September 8, 2025. Comparable sales over the same period are down 3.5%.

Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Outlook

The Company is introducing guidance for the three months ending October 31, 2026. Net sales are projected to be in the range of $222 to $226 million. Earnings per share are expected to be between $0.00 and $0.10.

In fiscal 2026 the Company currently intends to open approximately 5 new stores all located in North America and close roughly 16 stores, including 10 in North America and 6 internationally.

Net Cash Proceeds of $79 Million After Repayment of Secured Loans
Remainder of Sale Portfolio Expected to Close in the Fourth Quarter 

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — National Healthcare Properties, Inc. (Nasdaq: NHP) (the “Company”) announced today that it has completed the primarily multi-tenant first tranche of its previously announced sale of 86 outpatient medical facilities (“OMFs”) for approximately $528 million. The closing of the remaining 56 OMFs, which are subject to the buyer’s assumption of approximately $220 million of secured debt (Secured Term Loan 4 due 2033) and customary closing conditions, is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2026.

In connection with the sale, the Company repaid in full its Secured Term Loan 1 due 2028 and Secured Term Loan 3 due in 2031, totaling $119 million. This amount includes the repayment of $60 million of debt encumbering other OMFs not among the 86 properties to be sold, further reducing the Company’s secured indebtedness and increasing its overall capital flexibility. The sale generated approximately $79 million in net cash proceeds, before transaction expenses, property operating prorations and other adjustments.
