NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI) (“CVG” or the “Company”), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced that, in connection with the previously announced appointment of David Ruppel as President and Chief Executive Officer effective November 9, 2026, CVG granted Mr. Ruppel equity awards as a material inducement to his acceptance of employment with CVG in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The awards were approved by CVG’s independent directors on October 30, 2026 and were granted outside of CVG’s Second Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), but are subject to terms and conditions consistent with those of awards granted under the Plan.

On November 9, 2026, CVG granted Mr. Ruppel the following awards:

  • Make-whole awards in respect of unvested equity awards that Mr. Ruppel forfeited upon leaving his prior employer, Littelfuse, Inc., consisting of (i) 611,481 restricted shares of CVG common stock, which vest 50% on each of November 9, 2027 and November 9, 2028, and (ii) 384,552 performance shares at target (up to 769,104 shares at maximum), which may be earned from 0% to 200% of target based on CVG’s relative total shareholder return for the performance period from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2028 and, to the extent earned, vest on December 31, 2028; and
  • An initial long-term incentive award with a target value of $1,600,000, consisting of (i) 198,757 restricted shares of CVG common stock, which vest in three substantially equal annual installments on March 31, 2028, March 31, 2029 and March 31, 2030, and (ii) 298,136 performance shares at target (up to 596,272 shares at maximum), which may be earned from 0% to 200% of target based on the same performance measures, weightings, goals and payout methodology to be established for the 2027 performance share awards to CVG’s other executive officers, for the performance period from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2029 and, to the extent earned, vest on December 31, 2029.

Azora Therapeutics commenced trading on Nasdaq as “AZR”

New executive team and Board of Directors appointed

AT177 IND submission and Phase 1a initiation on track for the first half of 2027

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Azora Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AZR) (“Azora” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company developing locally acting treatments for serious immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases, today provided a business update and reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

During the quarter, Azora continued to advance AT177 through IND-enabling studies and expanded its scientific and operating team. AT177 is a proprietary, oral, colon-targeted aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist designed to restore mucosal immune homeostasis at the site of disease with minimal systemic exposure.

“With our transition to Nasdaq, Azora is well positioned for success to bring AhR biology to people living with ulcerative colitis,” said Matt Davidson, Ph.D., President, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to have recently strengthened our leadership team, appointing Celia Economides as CFO and David Rubenstein, M.D., Ph.D., as Chief Scientist. Dr. Rubenstein led the development and FDA approval of the first AhR agonist. We have further added to our depth of experience through the appointment of new Board members who bring inflammatory disease, clinical development and company building expertise to Azora. Our focus now is execution excellence, and we remain on track to submit an IND for AT177 and initiate our Phase 1a trial in the first half of 2027.”

Corporate Highlights

  • New name and Nasdaq ticker. Effective October 29, 2026, the Company changed its name from Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Azora Therapeutics, Inc., and its common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AZR.”
  • Stockholder approvals. On October 28, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved all remaining transaction matters, including the conversion of the Series A preferred stock and the exercise of the pre-funded and milestone warrants. On November 2, 2026, 9,924.260 shares of Series A preferred stock converted into 9,924,260 shares of common stock. The remaining 3,006.341 shares of Series A preferred stock remain outstanding and convertible into 3,006,341 shares of common stock, subject to beneficial ownership limitations.

New executive team
The following were appointed to executive roles at Azora effective October 28, 2026:

  • Matt Davidson, Ph.D., Azora co-founder, was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. He previously founded Verrica Pharmaceuticals and led development of the first FDA-approved treatment for molluscum contagiosum.
  • Celia Economides was appointed Chief Financial Officer based on her more than 20 years of biopharma finance leadership across public and private companies.
  • Julie Saiki, Ph.D., Azora co-founder, was appointed Chief Strategy Officer. Her research at Stanford helped establish AhR activation as a potential therapeutic approach for ulcerative colitis and provided the scientific foundation for AT177.
  • David Rubenstein, M.D., Ph.D., joined as Chief Scientist. As Chief Scientific Officer of Dermavant Sciences, he led tapinarof (VTAMA® cream 1%), the first FDA-approved AhR agonist, through development and approval.

New Board of Directors
On November 3, 2026, the Board appointed three independent directors, joining Dr. Davidson, who serves as Chair, and Wendy Young, Ph.D., former Senior Vice President of Small Molecule Drug Discovery at Genentech:

  • Aida Habtezion, M.D., former Chief Medical Officer of Pfizer and former Stanford gastroenterologist whose research included the role of AhR in intestinal immunity.
  • Paul Hastings, Chief Executive Officer of Nkarta and former Chair of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO).
  • Thomas Soloway, Chief Executive Officer of T-knife Therapeutics and former Chief Financial Officer of Audentes Therapeutics and Ascendis Pharma, chairs the Audit Committee.

Milestone financing
On September 16 and September 30, 2026, the Company amended its securities purchase agreement and note exchange agreements to remove a provision that reduced investors’ milestone warrant purchase rights by the percentage of their initial closing pre-funded warrants exercised. Up to approximately $32.4 million in gross proceeds could be received if investors elect to purchase the milestone warrants.

AT177 Program Update and Milestones

  • IND-enabling studies continued, building on completed GLP toxicology studies and pre-IND feedback from the FDA.
  • GMP manufacturing initiated to support clinical development of AT177.
  • First half of 2027: Planned IND submission and initiation of a Phase 1a single- and multiple-ascending-dose (SAD/MAD) trial, subject to regulatory clearance.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Cash position
Cash and cash equivalents were $22.0 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $28.7 million as of June 30, 2026. Existing cash and cash equivalents are anticipated to fund the Company’s current operating plan, including completion of IND-enabling studies and the Phase 1a trial. This does not assume any proceeds from the issuance and sale of milestone warrants.

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by approximately $1.3 million to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2025. The increase reflects preclinical and toxicology work for AT177.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased by approximately $4.5 million to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2025. The increase reflects merger and integration costs, as well as stock-based compensation and severance expenses.

Net loss was $64.6 million, or $4.52 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1.8 million, or $2.02 per share, for the same period in 2025. The third quarter net loss includes a non-cash charge of $57.1 million for the change in fair value of the milestone warrant rights liability, recorded before those rights were reclassified to equity.

Stockholders’ equity
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $21.1 million, primarily because $38.5 million of Series A convertible preferred stock was classified as temporary equity pending conversion. Following the September amendments, the $80.9 million milestone warrant rights liability was reclassified to equity, and it no longer requires remeasurement. On October 28, 2026, the stockholders approved the conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, and as a result the Company expects to reclassify the $38.5 million carrying value of the Series A convertible preferred stock into stockholders’ equity in the fourth quarter of 2026. On November 2, 2026, 9,924.260 shares of Series A preferred stock converted into 9,924,260 shares of common stock.

About AT177
AT177 is a fully synthetic, patented, oral AhR agonist designed to restore mucosal immune homeostasis at the site of disease with minimal systemic exposure. AT177 is a prodrug of the active ingredient, indirubin, a potent AhR agonist derived from indigo naturalis, a botanical extract that has been evaluated in clinical studies in patients with ulcerative colitis but has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. AT177’s colon-targeted formulation is designed to deliver therapeutic AhR engagement directly to the colonic mucosa with the goal of minimizing the systemic AhR exposure associated with adverse effects. In preclinical studies, AT177 demonstrated robust local colonic AhR activation with markedly limited systemic exposure. AT177 is currently in IND-enabling studies, with an IND submission and Phase 1a clinical trial planned for the first half of 2027.

About Azora Therapeutics
Azora Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments for serious inflammatory diseases. The company was launched out of Stanford University after being incubated in the translational medicine SPARK program. Azora owns worldwide royalty-free rights to its technology, which is based on the development of oral agonists of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. Azora’s lead program is AT177, a proprietary colon-targeted aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist designed to enable localized activation with limited systemic exposure in development for ulcerative colitis. More information on Azora can be found on the company’s website at www.AzoraTherapeutics.com.

240 net new ounces behind GLDY, up from 15 in Q2; Cask Foundation begins liquidity bootstrapping for USGY; debt-free with $36.5 million total liquidity position(1)

WINTER PARK, Fla., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Streamex Corp. (“Streamex” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: STEX), a technology company building the future of the commodity markets through tokenization, today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • GLDY growth: Gold behind GLDY rose to 3,351 ounces from 3,111, adding 240 net new ounces compared with 15 in the second quarter. The Company issued 208 new GLDY to subscribers, compared with 27.
  • External ownership doubled: Outside holders owned 17.7% of outstanding GLDY at September 30, up from 9.0% at June 30. GLDY assets under management were $14.0 million at market value, up 12% in the quarter.
  • Gold lease income: $145 thousand, and $291 thousand year-to-date. Excluding approximately $12 thousand of first-quarter income recognized in the second quarter, lease income grew approximately 8.2%.
  • Operating expenses: $18.1 million, including $9.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. Of the $2.8 million increase, $2.2 million was non-cash stock-based compensation; the remainder was mainly external legal counsel and costs supporting product development.
  • Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA(1): Net loss of $17.5 million, or $(0.09) per share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared with $14.6 million, or $(0.08) per share, for the second quarter of 2026. Adjusted EBITDA of $(7.2) million for the third quarter of 2026, compared with $(6.6) million for the second quarter of 2026.
  • Balance sheet: Debt-free, with a total liquidity position(1) of $36.5 million, total cash and investments(1) of $13.2 million and working capital of $22.0 million. Operating cash burn averaged $1.5 million a month, down from $1.6 million in the second quarter.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA, total cash and investments and total liquidity position are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” and the reconciliation tables at the end of this press release.

“Q1 launched GLDY, Q2 built the distribution around it, and Q3 was about scaling that distribution and adoption,” said Henry McPhie, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Streamex. “Over the last ninety days, an institutional investment manager began running a gold carry strategy with GLDY as its long leg, outside ownership doubled, and the Cask Foundation began bootstrapping liquidity for its first product, USGY. Next week, GLDY goes live as the first tokenized asset on Equity Trust’s IRA platform. This is not scale yet, but the drivers that can get us there are now live or under way.”

Business Highlights

  • Equity Trust: GLDY is expected to go live next week on the IRA platform of Equity Trust, which has about $73 billion of assets under custody and administration and around 368,000 accounts. GLDY will be the first tokenized asset on the platform, allowing U.S. investors to hold yield-bearing gold in an IRA.
  • Institutional allocation: An initial $1 million institutional allocation was made to a gold carry strategy run by an institutional investment manager, which holds GLDY as its long leg.
  • Cask Foundation: Liquidity bootstrapping began in October for USGY, the Cask Gold Yield Vault, which holds its spot gold position in GLDY. The Cask Foundation expects to launch USGY publicly once initial bootstrapping is complete. GLDC is set up and ready, with launch by the Cask Foundation anticipated in early 2027. A Streamex subsidiary acts as servicer to the Cask Foundation and earns revenue from its products.
  • GLDY Access Network: Several distribution partners with more than $160 billion of combined assets. CNB Custody went live in October, adding qualified custody for RIAs and advisors.
  • Yield and attestation: Seven consecutive monthly distributions, every one paid in gold. GLDY paid 31 ounces in lease yield in the quarter, up from 19. Net asset value has tracked gold one-to-one since launch, and reserves are independently attested by EisnerAmper and viewable on Chainlink Proof of Reserve.
  • New brand: Streamex introduced its new brand today, starting with streamex.com and its investor materials.

Commitments for the Next Ninety Days

Streamex will report on each of the following when it reports fourth quarter 2026 results:

  • Grow institutional demand: more capital into the carry strategy, and new institutional buyers of GLDY.
  • Support the Cask Foundation as it completes initial liquidity bootstrapping and launches USGY publicly, and report USGY’s contribution to GLDY assets under management.
  • Fund the first GLDY IRA accounts on Equity Trust.
  • GLDC: set up and ready, with launch by the Cask Foundation anticipated in early 2027 as USGY scales.
  • Bring operating cash burn to a range of $1.1 million to $1.3 million a month, from $1.5 million in the third quarter.
  • Continue independent reserve attestations and monthly distributions.

“We ended the quarter debt-free with $36.5 million of total liquidity,” said Christine Plummer, Chief Financial Officer of Streamex. “Most of our net loss is non-cash. Burn came in above what we expected in August, and bringing it down to a range of $1.1 million to $1.3 million a month while assets build is a priority. Our fees scale with assets against a largely fixed cost base, so once fees cover fixed costs, incremental assets should flow through to Adjusted EBITDA(1).”

Market Data and Industry Data

Unless otherwise indicated, the economic and industry data contained in this press release is based upon information from independent industry and government publications. While Streamex believes this data to be reliable, market and industry data is subject to variation and cannot be verified due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey. Streamex has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such information contained herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This earnings release includes information that does not conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Total Cash and Investments and Total Liquidity Position. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful insight into its operating performance and the financial resources available to support its tokenization platform, particularly given the significant non-cash charges in its results and the composition of its balance sheet, which includes physical gold, digital assets and other non-cash financial assets. Please refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures above.

The Company defines and uses these non-GAAP measures as follows:

EBITDA is defined as net loss, plus: interest expense (income), net, which includes non-cash amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs and imputed interest on the Company’s loan receivable; income tax expense (benefit); and depreciation and amortization, which consists principally of amortization of the intangible assets recognized in the May 2025 acquisition of Streamex Exchange Corporation. EBITDA is not adjusted for stock-based compensation or for other non-cash or non-recurring items, including gains and losses on the sale of gold, on marketable securities, on the extinguishment of convertible debentures and on changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, and these items are therefore included in EBITDA for the periods presented.

The Company uses EBITDA to evaluate its operating performance excluding the effects of its capital structure, income taxes and acquisition-related amortization, which management believes are not indicative of the cost of operating and scaling its platform. The Company believes EBITDA allows investors to assess its performance in a way that is consistent with management’s approach and facilitates comparisons with other companies that have different capital structures, tax positions or acquisition histories.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation; the provision for credit losses on the Company’s loan receivable from Wintermute Trading Ltd.; changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities and embedded derivatives; realized gains on the sale of gold; realized gains and losses on, and changes in the fair value of, marketable securities; losses on the extinguishment of convertible debentures; gains on the settlement and forgiveness of accounts payable and accrued expenses; and other (income) expense, net. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the cost of operating and scaling its platform excluding non-cash compensation and non-operating gains and losses, which management believes are not indicative of its ongoing operating performance, and believes Adjusted EBITDA facilitates period-to-period comparisons of its operating results.

Total Cash and Investments is defined as cash, marketable securities and digital assets (consisting principally of USDC, together with immaterial amounts of other crypto assets), each as presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Total Liquidity Position is defined as Total Cash and Investments, plus: physical gold held at cost (other assets held at cost – gold); the Company’s loan receivable, net, under its USDC loan agreement with Wintermute Trading Ltd., which the Company may recall on 30 days’ notice; and the Company’s investment in Metalayer Digital Fund I, measured at net asset value.

The Company uses Total Cash and Investments and Total Liquidity Position to monitor the financial resources available to fund its operations, platform development and growth initiatives, and believes these measures help investors evaluate the Company’s balance sheet in the same manner as management, as a substantial portion of the Company’s financial resources is held in forms other than cash.

Total Cash and Investments and Total Liquidity Position are not measures of cash available for immediate use and should not be used as indicators of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs. In particular: physical gold is carried at cost and not marked to market, and the market value of the gold held by Streamex Ltd. was approximately $14.0 million at September 30, 2026, approximately $2.5 million below its carrying amount; that gold backs all outstanding GLDY tokens, including tokens held by third-party holders, which are presented as noncontrolling interests; the Metalayer investment’s net asset value may change and redemptions are subject to the terms of the fund documents; and recall of the Wintermute loan may affect secondary-market liquidity for GLDY. The amounts realized from any of these assets may differ materially from the amounts presented.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, net loss and cash, as indicators of operating performance or of the Company’s liquidity or ability to fund its cash needs. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures presented by other companies.

See the reconciliations of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and of cash to Total Cash and Investments and Total Liquidity Position in the tables below.

This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at ir.streamex.com.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alumis Inc. (Nasdaq: ALMS), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation targeted therapies for patients with immune-mediated diseases, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and highlighted recent business updates and upcoming milestones.

“Each additional readout from the ONWARD program has strengthened the consistent body of evidence supporting envudeucitinib’s highly competitive profile in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis,” said Martin Babler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alumis. “The new data presented in October showed early and durable improvement across scalp disease severity, itch resolution, and quality of life measures, building on a 54% PASI 100 response rate observed at 48 weeks of treatment. Our fourth-quarter 2026 NDA submission remains on track.”

Third Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights

Envudeucitinib: a next–generation, highly selective oral tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor, in patients with moderate–to–severe plaque psoriasis

  • New data presented at the 26th Annual Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference demonstrated early and durable improvements across scalp disease severity, itch resolution, and quality of life measures. These data build on envudeucitinib’s high-threshold skin clearance observed across the ONWARD program, including a 54% Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 100 response rate at Week 48 (LINK TO PR).
  • High rate of scalp clearance: Over 80% of patients in ONWARD3 maintained clear or almost clear scalp skin (scalp-specific Physician Global Assessment [ss-PGA] 0/1) at 48 weeks.
  • Rapid, robust and sustained itch relief: In ONWARD1/2, approximately one-third of patients—including those with moderate-to-severe scalp disease (ss-PGA ≥3)—achieved clinically meaningful itch reduction (≥4-point NRS improvement) as early as Week 2. By Week 16, about 40% reached complete itch resolution (NRS 0) and approximately 60% reported minimal or no itch (NRS 0/1). In ONWARD3, nearly 80% of patients sustained clinically meaningful itch reduction through Week 48.
  • Early, durable quality-of-life improvements: Approximately 50% of patients in ONWARD1/2 achieved a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score of 0 or 1 by Week 12, reflecting minimal to no impact of psoriasis on daily activities. In ONWARD3, more than 70% of patients maintained DLQI 0/1 at 48 weeks.
  • Rapid crossover convergence: Patients switching from placebo or apremilast achieved rapid improvements across primary and key secondary endpoints, comparable to those continuously treated at Week 48.
  • Alumis remains on track to submit its New Drug Application to the FDA for envudeucitinib in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Envudeucitinib: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

  • Phase 2b LUMUS trial of envudeucitinib for the treatment of moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) did not meet its primary and secondary endpoints in the overall trial population (LINK TO PR).
  • Robust clinical responses were observed in a prespecified subgroup analysis of patients with high interferon gene signature (IFNGS-high), including on the primary endpoint of British Isles Lupus Assessment Group-based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) and key secondary endpoints of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index 50 (CLASI-50), SLE Responder Index 4 (SRI-4), and Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS).
  • IFNGS-high patients represent the majority of moderate-to-severe SLE cases. In LUMUS, they were unexpectedly under-represented, reducing response rates in the overall trial population.
  • Pharmacodynamic data from LUMUS confirmed robust dose-dependent interferon-pathway target engagement, with maximal suppression at the highest dose, 40 mg twice daily.
  • Envudeucitinib was well tolerated in LUMUS, with no new safety signals.
  • Alumis plans to conduct end-of-Phase 2 regulatory interactions and evaluate development options.

TYK2 Franchise and Pipeline Update

  • Alumis plans to initiate a Phase 2 biomarker trial for A-005, its central nervous system (CNS) penetrant TYK2 inhibitor, in patients with Parkinson’s disease, in 2027. In a Phase 1 healthy volunteer study, A-005 was well-tolerated, achieved maximal target inhibition in the periphery, and demonstrated the ability to penetrate the CNS.

Anticipated Milestones

  • Envudeucitinib in Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis
    • Long-term data: Phase 2, two-year safety data (4Q 2026).
    • NDA submission (4Q 2026).
  • A-005
    • Initiation of Phase 2 biomarker trial in Parkinson’s disease (2027).

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

  • As of September 30, 2026, Alumis had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $431.3 million.
  • Revenue consisted of collaboration revenue of $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to collaboration revenue of $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, related to the collaboration and licensing agreement with Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
  • Research and development expenses were $80.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $97.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower clinical trial and contract research costs reflecting the progression of the envudeucitinib clinical program following completion of the pivotal Phase 3 ONWARD1 and ONWARD2 clinical trials in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, partially offset by an increase in clinical trial and contract research costs for the Phase 3 ONWARD3 clinical trial.
  • General and administrative expenses were $20.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $19.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to costs related to launch preparation efforts and an increase in personnel-related expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, partially offset by severance and transaction costs related to the merger with ACELYRIN, Inc. and legal costs in the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
  • Net loss was $94.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to net loss of $110.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Financial Guidance

  • Based on the Company’s current operating plan, Alumis continues to anticipate that its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2026 are sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2027.

Business Outlook & Goals

  • Enhance Commerce Media Solutions’ partnership network by adding top-tier media partners and expanding beyond traditional retail channels and into new verticals including travel, lifestyle, and home services
  • Launch and scale Fluent’s new in-store commerce media offering across existing and new retail partners
  • Deliver fourth quarter revenue growth and positive adjusted EBITDA; given current visibility, the Company expects double-digit revenue growth on aggregate continuing businesses and positive adjusted EBITDA, with Commerce Media Solutions’ growth rate remaining in the high double digits but moderating from the third quarter
  • Drive full-year 2026 revenue growth and improved adjusted EBITDA; given current visibility, the Company expects double-digit revenue growth on aggregate continuing businesses and improved adjusted EBITDA, with high-double-digit revenue growth in Commerce Media Solutions
  • Extend growth into 2027; given current visibility, the Company expects double-digit consolidated revenue growth as it continues to scale Commerce Media Solutions

Fluent is not able to provide a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable expected GAAP results, due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of certain operating costs and expenses, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense (net), the provision for (benefit from) income taxes, fair value adjustments of the Convertible Notes with related parties, and acquisition-, divestiture- and other non-recurring items.

Such statements include statements regarding the intent, belief, or current expectations or anticipations of Fluent and members of our management team. Factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the following:

  • Our reliance on an uncommitted financing agreement raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern;
  • Dependence on the gaming industry;
  • Unfavorable publicity and negative public perception about the digital marketing industry or us;
  • A potential sudden reduction in online marketing spend by our clients, a loss of clients or lower advertising yields; 
  • Our ability to scale Commerce Media Solutions business and maintain recent margin improvements depends on onboarding and retaining media partners, maintaining advertiser demand and achieving favorable contract economics; 
  • Our need to continue investing in technology for our Commerce Media Solutions business;
  • A potential decline in the supply of media available to us through third parties or an increase in the price of such media; 
  • Challenges scaling infrastructure and products to support growth while maintaining profitability;
  • Challenges managing the complexity of our international operations and workforce;
  • Strategic alternatives that could complicate operations or divert management’s attention; 
  • Dependence on our key personnel and ability to attract or retain employees;
  • Dependence upon third-party service providers and potential liability related to their actions or platform malfunctions;
  • The outcome of litigation, inquiries, investigations, examinations, or other legal proceedings in which we are or may become involved, or in which our clients or competitors are involved;
  • Potential sales and use taxes and other taxes on our business;
  • Our actual or perceived failure to safeguard any personal information or user privacy; 
  • Failure to adequately protect intellectual property rights or allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights;
  • Potential liability or expenses for legal claims based on the nature and content of the materials we create or distribute, including those provided by third parties, as a creator and a distributor of digital media content;
  • Our potential access to additional capital in the future may be limited or unavailable on acceptable terms; 
  • Our ability to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market;
  • The volatility of our stock price and impact on our investors;
  • Lack of cash dividends for the foreseeable future; and
  • Status of a smaller reporting company and non-accelerated filer, which involves certain reduced governance and disclosure requirements.

These and additional factors to be considered are set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Definitions, Reconciliations, and Uses of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following non-GAAP measures are used in this release:

Media margin is defined as that portion of gross profit (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) reflecting variable costs paid for media and related expenses and excluding non-media cost of revenue and one-time items. Gross profit (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) represents revenue minus cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Media margin is also presented for the Commerce Media Solutions business and as percentages of revenue of the consolidated company and of the Commerce Media Solutions business, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding (1) income taxes, (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) share-based compensation expense, (5) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (6) loss on disposal of assets, (7) goodwill impairment, (8) impairment of intangible assets, (9) fair value adjustment of Convertible Notes with related parties, (10) acquisition-related costs, (11) restructuring and other severance costs, (12) certain litigation and other related costs, and (13) other one-time items.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding (1) share-based compensation expense, (2) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (3) loss on disposal of assets, (4) goodwill impairment, (5) impairment of intangible assets, (6) fair value adjustment of Convertible Notes with related parties, (7) acquisition-related costs, (8) restructuring and other severance costs, (9) certain litigation and other related costs, and (10) other one-time items. Adjusted net income (loss) is also presented on a per share (basic and diluted) basis.

We consider items one-time in nature if they are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual and have not occurred in the past two years and are not expected to recur in the next two years, in accordance with SEC rules.

Below is a reconciliation of media margin from gross profit (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), which we believe is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

We present media margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income as supplemental measures of our financial and operating performance because we believe they provide useful information to investors. More specifically:

Media margin, as defined above, is a measure of the efficiency of the Company’s operating model. We use media margin and the related measure of media margin as a percentage of revenue as primary metrics to measure the financial return on our media and related costs, specifically to measure the degree by which the revenue generated from our digital marketing services exceeds the cost to attract the consumers to whom offers are made through our services. Media margin is used extensively by our management to manage our consolidated operating performance, including evaluating operational performance against budgeted media margin and understanding the efficiency of our media and related expenditures. We also use media margin for performance evaluations and compensation decisions regarding certain personnel.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, is another primary metric by which we evaluate the operating performance of our business, on which certain operating expenditures and internal budgets are based and by which, in addition to media margin and other factors, our senior management is compensated. The first three adjustments represent the conventional definition of EBITDA, and the remaining adjustments are items recognized and recorded under U.S. GAAP in particular periods but might be viewed as not necessarily coinciding with the underlying business operations for the periods in which they are so recognized and recorded. These adjustments include certain litigation and other related costs associated with legal matters outside the ordinary course of business.

Adjusted net income (loss), as defined above, and the related measure of adjusted net income (loss) per share exclude certain items that are recognized and recorded under U.S. GAAP in particular periods but might be viewed as not necessarily coinciding with the underlying business operations for the periods in which they are so recognized and recorded. We believe adjusted net income (loss) affords investors a different view of the overall financial performance of the Company than adjusted EBITDA and the U.S. GAAP measure of net income (loss).

Media margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per share are non-GAAP financial measures with certain limitations regarding their usefulness. They do not reflect our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, these metrics are not indicative of our overall results or indicators of past or future financial performance. Further, they are not financial measures of profitability and are neither intended to be used as a proxy for the profitability of our business nor to imply profitability. The way we measure media margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in our various agreements.

Annual Revenue Run Rate

Annual Revenue Run Rate is an operational metric that represents the annualized revenue of the Company’s media partnerships at current monetization levels, as of the end of the reporting period. The Company calculates Annual Revenue Run Rate as follows:

  • Media partners within Commerce Media Solutions with an active contract are assessed and assigned an annual media volume estimate based on the active term of the contract and the average monetization rate during the reporting period. The Company considers a media partner contract to be active when the contractual term commences (the “start date”) until its right to serve the partner’s commerce traffic ends. Even if the contract with the customer is executed before the start date, the contract will not count toward Annual Revenue Run Rate until the media partner’s right to receive the benefit of the services has commenced.
  • As Annual Revenue Run Rate includes only contracts that are active at the end of the reporting period, it does not reflect assumptions or estimates regarding new business. For contracts expiring within 12 months of the period-end calculation date, Annual Revenue Run Rate does reflect expectations of renewal.
  • The Company’s Commerce Media Solutions platform provides the technology to effectively monetize the partner’s media by placing relevant ads at a contracted moment of consumer engagement. Although from inception to date, improvements in the platform’s AI-powered technology have consistently driven increased rates of monetization, for the purpose of Annual Revenue Run Rate, the Company assumes a consistent monetization level equal to the average monetization for each media partner during the reporting period.

The way the Company measures Annual Revenue Run Rate may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed as a projection of future revenue.
