Company notes early demand interest across the coordinated program of ten 9.9 MW behind-the-meter sites and will continue to provide updates as the program is rolled out

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FingerMotion, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNGR) (“FingerMotion” or the “Company”) today announced that it has received indications of interest totaling approximately 52.5 megawatts of capacity within the 99 MW Alberta behind-the-meter power and compute program disclosed on September 15, 2026.

The program comprises ten 9.9 MW generation and data hall sites grouped into four campuses in the Brooks, Coronation, Fox Creek and Vulcan Zones, representing 99 megawatts of gross generation capacity in development and approximately 72 megawatts of aggregate continuous critical IT capacity. Each site is intended to be held in a dedicated project company of which FingerMotion is the sole shareholder. Development, construction and site operations are performed by BlueFlare Group Holdings Inc., which takes title to none of the project assets.

The indications of interest relate to capacity within the recently disclosed corridor and are consistent with the Company’s stated approach of seeking to contract capacity under long-term agreements before committing construction capital to any individual site. Indications of interest are not binding offtake agreements, do not constitute contracted demand, and do not guarantee that any customer contract will be executed on any particular terms or at all.

FingerMotion’s intended process remains to secure land with power, permit it, and contract capacity to offtake clients before initiating construction. Offtake clients may contract for a site as powered land on which they install their own modular data halls, as a colocation site, or as a turnkey facility. Each campus is sized below 10 MW to use the streamlined approval pathway for smaller power plants under Alberta Utilities Commission Rule 007, and each is to be held in its own subsidiary so that campuses can be permitted and contracted independently of one another.

“Power remains the scarce input for AI and high-performance computing,” said Jolie Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of FingerMotion. “Receiving indications of interest inside the 99 MW corridor so soon after we laid out the program is consistent with the demand we expected when we structured the sites as independently permitted, owner-operated campuses. We will continue to provide updates as we roll out the program—land, permits, contracting, and only then construction.”

We have provided a four-point matrix as a way for investors to measure our progress. We are pleased to provide an update from the original August 27, 2026 iteration.

Milestone What “done” looks like Status
August 27, 2026 Press Release September 24, 2026 Update
1. Site control Land rights and a viable permitting path to build Not yet announced. Several sites are in various stages of advanced discussion. No signed Commercial Term Sheet. Two sites have been secured thru binding letters of intent, with definitive agreements to follow imminently; e.g.: Brooks Campus #1 and Hanna Campus #1. Both locations are expected to close in October.

2. Power Generation, fuel supply or interconnection that actually delivers electricity Not yet announced. Sites under consideration have, or are being structured around, on-site generation; redevelopment would add generation and storage. Not a grid-queue project.

RFP’s in process for on-site generation equipment for both Brooks and Hanna.
3. Customers Signed enterprise offtake for capacity No FingerMotion offtake announced. The 9.9% Lyken stake closed August 17 as the demand-side first step. The Lyken/Swarmnet MOU (August 24) is non-binding and is Lyken’s, not the Company’s.

BlueFlare has received indications of interest from potential commercial offtakers for up to 52.5 MW.
4. Capital Project financing closed against the asset and the contract Not yet announced. Structure intended to be asset-level, not corporate-balance-sheet.

Not yet announced. Structure intended to be asset-level, not corporate-balance-sheet, and the Company is in discussions with various potential sources of capital.

The Company will continue to provide updates as it advances permitting, land assembly, gas-supply discussions, and customer engagement across the corridor.

WUHU, China, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chery Group’s iCAUR today announced that the 2026 iCAUR International User Summit will be held in Wuhu, China, from October 19 to 23.

H1 2026 earnings

H1 2026 earnings down amid a globally challenging market environment
Business resilience in France, particularly in the second quarter

  • EBITDA1 of €4.9m in H1 2026, down €0.9m from €5.9m in H1 2025
  • Gross margin ratio virtually unchanged versus H1 2026 and FY 2025
  • Net profit (Group share) of €2.1m in H1 2026, down €0.5m
  • Second half outlook: strengthening of Industrial Services and Agency Brands, acceleration in targeted innovations for International Strategic Brands and Flagship Regional Brands, sustained systematic approach to financial discipline.

Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits (the “Company”) (Euronext: MBWS) today announces its consolidated earnings for H1 2026 as approved by the Group’s Board of Directors on 23 September 2026. The audit procedures have been carried out.

Fahd Khadraoui, Chief Executive Officer of MBWS, said: “The results for the first half do not fully reflect the progress made by the Group amid a persistently challenging market and macroeconomic environment. In France, William Peel’s recovery in the Off-Trade sector has been slower than expected, given the complexity of this network. Compared with the first quarter of 2025, when the full impact of the product de-listings hadn’t yet kicked in, this effect continues to overshadow the benefits of successful new product launches from Marie Brizard and Sobieski brands. The second quarter upswing, expanded distribution since the end of June and seasonal sales patterns should allow us to leverage these gains more efficiently in the second half year.

On the international scene, the Group is pursuing its development plan, notably by upgrading the production facilities in Brazil with a view to setting up new Industrial Services operations there, and through the integration of Interbrands entity in Denmark. However, these promising developments are somewhat dampened by external factors that are weighing heavily on certain subsidiaries. These include the consequences of the Ukraine conflict for our Lithuanian export business and the challenges faced by certain customers in Eastern Europe, which are putting pressure on our Bulgarian subsidiary. Given the lack of visibility on when these impacts will subside, we will continue to rigorously manage costs and resources. Bolstered by its financial situation, the Group is maintaining a clear course and is resolutely pursuing its investments and development projects.”

Simplified income statement – H1 2026        

€m except EPS H1 2025   H1 2026 Change
2026 vs 2025
Net revenues (excluding excise duties) 86.6   84.0 -2.6
Gross margin 33.7   32.6 -1.1
Gross margin ratio 38.9%   38.8%

Net profit (Group share) 2.6   2.1 -0.5
Earnings per share 0.02   0.02  

First half 2026 revenues

First half 2026 revenues excluding excise duties came to €84.0m, down 4.4% versus H1 2025 at constant scope and exchange rates (down 3.0% as reported). This decline in sales reflects challenging macroeconomic trends, which are generally unfavourable for spirits markets.

The France Cluster posted H1 2026 revenues of €35.6m, up 1.2% versus H1 2025. The upturn in France was particularly pronounced in the second quarter of 2026 (up 6% to €18.6m), reflecting the gradual recovery in William Peel’s product listings and sales in the Off-Trade sector and structural improvements linked to the launch of new Marie Brizard and Sobieski products.

In the On-Trade channel, first half revenues rose 10.1% (up 16% for the second quarter), driven by Marie Brizard and the development of new Agency Brands.

Moreover, a new Industrial Services contract for cognac signed in late 2025 made a further contribution to growth amid a challenging global market.

The International Cluster posted H1 2026 revenues of €48.4m, down 8.3% (down 5.8% as reported) versus H1 2025. The decline slowed in the second quarter, with sales down 3.1% versus Q2 2025 to €26.7m (down 0.3% as reported).
This gradual improvement was driven by:

  • the return to full capacity for Industrial Services in Spain following the first quarter technical shutdowns;
  • more favourable order timing for Gautier in Martinique and Guadeloupe, partly offset by lower sales of Sobieski in the UK and William Peel in the Belux region;
  • a steady decline in consumption in Lithuania amid constantly rising excise duties, and an export market hard hit by falling sales in Ukraine due to the direct and indirect impacts of the conflict, which are disrupting the entire distribution logistics chain and infrastructure;
  • phased inventory rundown by our US importer, resulting in a temporary improvement compared to a very low comparison base in the first half of 2025, while Marie Brizard and Gautier posted brisk sales;
  • structural developments, including innovations in International Strategic Brands, strong momentum for Marie Brizard in the United States and the integration of a Danish distributor.

First half 2026 earnings

The gross margin ratio was 38.8% in H1 2026, virtually unchanged from 38.9% in H1 2025. The slight margin improvement in France offset the limited decline in the international segment.

First half 2026 EBITDA amounted to €4.9m, down €0.9m (at constant scope and exchange rates) versus H1 2025.

The France Cluster posted EBITDA of €3.7m, close to the H1 2025 figure. This stability is the outcome of the first quarter decline, partly offset by the gradual recovery in distribution for William Peel, and the second quarter upswing driven by improved distribution of William Peel and new product launches from Marie Brizard and Sobieski following the conclusion of commercial negotiations in early March.

The International Cluster posted EBITDA of €3.4m, down €1.2m. This change is mainly due to the decline in export sales from the Lithuanian subsidiary to the Ukrainian market, against a backdrop of conflict and the ensuing increasing disruption of the entire distribution supply chain and infrastructure, as stated above. The Bulgarian subsidiary’s Industrial Services business was also impacted by a sharp fall in orders from a customer in difficulty.

Holding company EBITDA improved by €0.4m, reflecting continued rigorous cost management.

H1 2026 EBITDA by Cluster

€m H1 2025 LFL change Currency & scope effects H1 2026 LFL change Reported change
France 3.7 (0.0) – 3.7 -0.9% -0.9%
International 4.7 (1.2) (0.0) 3.4 -26.0% -28.0%
Holding company (2.6) 0.4 – (2.1) +16.5% +16.5%
TOTAL MBWS GROUP 5.9 (0.8) (0.0) 4.9 -14.3% -15.9%

First half net profit, Group share amounted to €2.1m, down €0.5m versus H1 2025. This slight deterioration is due to the fall in underlying operating profit, which was partly offset by the recognition of deferred tax assets, while net financial income remained stable.

Balance sheet at 30 June 2026

Shareholders’ equity, Group share, was €223.8m at 30 June 2026, up from €221.5m at 31 December 2025. Gross borrowings remained stable at €6.7m, while gross cash and cash equivalents increased by €1.4m. Net cash amounted to €46.8m at 30 June 2026, compared with €45.3m at 31 December 2025.

Inventory and work in progress amounted to €54.4m as at 30 June 2026, up €1.6m from 31 December 2025. This increase, which is more pronounced compared with 30 June 2025 (up €2.5m), is due to the gradual recovery of the whisky William Peel in distribution in France during the first half of 2026, leading to a temporary swelling of inventories.

Outlook

The Group continues to create the conditions for a profitable and sustainable development of its business portfolio and for strengthening its presence in key markets, leveraging its subsidiaries, commercial networks and direct exports.

The Group remains fully committed to streamlining its operating model and pursuing rigorous cost control in order to maintain overall profitability. Meanwhile, efforts are being maintained to develop markets and product categories offering the most attractive growth prospects, both in France and internationally.

However, spirits markets continue to struggle against volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds, requiring considerable operational agility and commercial responsiveness. In particular, the Group remains exposed to the impacts of the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, which are driving up the cost of inputs and transport (maritime and land logistics, energy, raw materials, etc.) and disrupting supply chains (longer lead times, delays in order collection, declining sales, etc.).

Against this backdrop, the Group expects the prevailing uncertainty and contrasting trends to continue for the rest of the year, characterised by:

  • ongoing positive momentum in France, mainly driven by the gradual recovery in William Peel distribution in the Off-Trade sector and the resulting claw-back of market share, Marie Brizard and Sobieski Strategic Brand innovations, portfolio expansion with new Agency Brands and new Industrial Services contracts;
  • internationally, an expected decline in Eastern Europe, impacted by external factors affecting certain subsidiaries, particularly the challenges faced by Group customers in Ukraine due to the conflict, as well as other customers in Central Europe. Performance will also be impacted by the transformations and transitions initiated this year in certain subsidiaries, including Brazil and Denmark, to pave the way for future growth.

To address this environment, the Group is building on tangible progress across all its strategic development priorities: targeted innovations for International Strategic Brands and Flagship Regional Brands, the expansion of the Agency Brands portfolio via new contracts in France, the integration of a distributor in Denmark and the development of new Industrial Services partnerships in France and Brazil. The Group is actively pursuing the identification of suitable and profitable growth opportunities, both organic and external, with a view to long-term development. The Group is thereby demonstrating its ability to gain market share on its mainstream brands by combining targeted initiatives, agile commercial execution and rigorous cost management.

With new Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut™ and Cricut StickerPix Print™, users can make custom stickers and photo prints — at home, in minutes

Cricut StickerPix: Cricut StickerPix machines

A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link.

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cricut®, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRCT) today announced Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut and Cricut StickerPix Print, marking the brand’s launch into a new category of at-home sticker making and photo printing. For the first time, Cricut is giving people a complete creative toolkit to easily turn their ideas, designs, and personal photos into custom stickers, prints, labels, and photo cards they can hold, share, and use in everyday life. Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut takes the experience from print to finished custom sticker — printing, laminating, and precision cutting in one machine — while Cricut StickerPix Print prints and laminates on pre-cut sticker sheets to create personalized photo prints, stickers, and labels. Both machines make it easy to create right from home, in minutes.

Cricut StickerPix machines sit at the intersection of three powerful trends shaping how people create and express themselves today. Our phones and devices hold more photos and memories than ever, but most rarely make it beyond the screen. Stickers have become a visual language for self-expression and community building, fueled by social media and other online spaces. And Cricut is leading the way in creating entirely new ways to transform these everyday photos into art, designs, and memorable creations.

“Cricut StickerPix brings these trends together and makes it incredibly easy to turn what’s on your screen into something you can hold, share, and make your own,” said Ashish Arora, CEO at Cricut. “Cricut has always been about helping people turn their ideas into something personal and real, and we are so excited to make that even easier with the launch of this new machine line.”

Introducing Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut and Cricut StickerPix Print: An All-in-One Way to Make Custom Stickers and Photo Prints

Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut is an all-in-one machine that turns personalized designs into custom stickers through one seamless process: printing, laminating, and precision cutting custom shapes. Users can also make photo prints, photo cards, and custom-cut labels.

Using thermal dye-sublimation technology, it produces high-resolution, ultra-vivid prints that are water-, scratch-, and fade-resistant, so creations are made to last. A built-in fine-point blade delivers precise, clean edges on every custom sticker shape.

Cricut StickerPix Print brings the same vivid dye-sublimation technology and print shop quality to a streamlined making experience for creating custom pre-cut stickers and labels,* photo prints, and photo cards. Pre-cut stickers are available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Designed for Everyday Moments

Both machines are compact enough to fit anywhere in the home and connect to Design Space® on mobile and desktop. Users can start with their own photos or ideas, personalize editable templates, use AI-powered capabilities, or choose from a library of more than 1.8 million sticker images from hundreds of original artists* — then send their creation directly to their machine to make it real in minutes.

Cricut StickerPix represents the next expansion of the brand’s creativity platform beyond cutting, giving people another way to turn personal ideas into meaningful, real-world creations through one connected ecosystem powered by Design Space®. By adding photo and sticker printers to the platform, Cricut is making it possible to bring even more everyday moments to life.

Availability and Pricing

Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut and Cricut StickerPix Print will be available beginning September 24, 2026. For the first week following launch, Cricut StickerPix machines will be available exclusively at Cricut.com and Michaels.

“At Michaels, our purpose is to fuel the joy of creativity and celebration, and we’re always looking for new ways to help our customers make creativity part of their everyday lives,” said Chuck Smith, Senior Vice President at Michaels. “As the first retailer to launch Cricut StickerPix, we’re excited to give our customers early access to this new way to personalize the things they use and love. Through hands-on experiences in our stores and inspiration from our creator community, we’re helping customers discover how easy and fun it can be to turn everyday moments into something uniquely their own.”
