At September 30, 2026, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses was $210.1 million.

The balance of debt that finances the Company’s loan and investment portfolio at September 30, 2026 was $10.75 billion with a weighted average interest rate including fees of 6.69%, as compared to $10.48 billion and a rate of 6.38% at June 30, 2026.

The average balance of debt that finances the Company’s loan and investment portfolio for the third quarter of 2026 was $10.70 billion, as compared to $10.51 billion for the second quarter of 2026. The average cost of borrowings for the third quarter of 2026 was 6.66%, compared to 6.56% for the second quarter of 2026. The increase in average cost was primarily due to the convertible senior unsecured notes offering, as well as an increase in the average SOFR rate in the third quarter of 2026.

The Company completed an $825.0 million collateralized securitization secured initially by a portfolio of real estate related assets and cash. Investment grade-rated notes totaling $730.1 million were issued, and the Company retained subordinate interests in the issuing vehicle of $112.4 million, including $17.5 million of the investment grade notes. The facility has a two and a half year asset replenishment period and an initial weighted average interest rate of the notes issued to third parties of 1.70% plus term SOFR, excluding fees and transaction costs.

The Company completed an upsized $375.0 million offering of 6.25% convertible senior notes due 2029. The Company used the offering proceeds to redeem its $270.0 million of 4.50% senior notes and to repurchase common stock through two separate transactions: $11.6 million to repurchase ~2.1 million shares concurrently with the offering and $114.3 million to repurchase ~18.9 million shares pursuant to a prepaid forward stock repurchase transaction.

The Company is presenting distributable earnings because management believes it is an important supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance and is useful to investors, analysts and other parties in the evaluation of REITs and their ability to provide dividends to stockholders. Dividends are one of the principal reasons investors invest in REITs. To maintain REIT status, REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their REIT-taxable income. The Company considers distributable earnings in determining its quarterly dividend and believes that, over time, distributable earnings is a useful indicator of the Company’s dividends per share.

The Company defines distributable earnings as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for accounting items such as depreciation and amortization (adjusted for unconsolidated joint ventures), non-cash stock-based compensation expense, income from MSRs, amortization and write-offs of MSRs, gains/losses on derivative instruments primarily associated with Private Label loans not yet sold and securitized, changes in fair value of GSE-related derivatives that temporarily flow through earnings, deferred tax provision (benefit), CECL provisions for credit losses (adjusted for realized losses as described below), gains/losses on the receipt of real estate from the settlement of loans and subsequent impairment losses on real estate owned prior to the sale of the real estate. The Company also adds back one-time charges such as acquisition costs and one-time gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and redemption of preferred stock.

The Company reduces distributable earnings for realized losses in the period management determines that a loan is deemed nonrecoverable in whole or in part. Loans are deemed nonrecoverable upon the earlier of: (1) when the loan receivable is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold at which time any impairments and/or cumulative depreciation expense are realized; or (2) when management determines that it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount is equal to the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the book value of the asset.

Distributable earnings is not intended to be an indication of the Company’s cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or a measure of its liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funding the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company’s calculation of distributable earnings may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

HOUSTON, Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Weatherford International plc (NASDAQ: WFRD) (“Weatherford” or the “Company”) today announced the redemption of all $236 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 8.625% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”). The notes are being redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, using cash on hand.

The redemption further optimizes Weatherford’s capital structure, reduces Weatherford’s gross debt by $236 million, and is expected to reduce annualized cash interest expense by approximately $20 million. Following the redemption, none of Weatherford’s current outstanding debt is scheduled to mature for approximately the next seven years, providing significant financial flexibility to support the Company’s strategic priorities.

Anuj Dhruv, Weatherford’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “This redemption is another step in strengthening our financial foundation and reflects the disciplined approach we continue to take toward capital allocation. Retiring higher-cost debt lowers our interest expense, extends our maturity runway, and gives us greater flexibility to invest in the opportunities that create the most value for Weatherford and our shareholders.”

ALEXANDRIA, La., Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Red River Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RRBI), the holding company for Red River Bank (the “Bank”), announced today its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2026.

Net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $12.6 million, or $1.90 per diluted common share (“EPS”), an increase of $800,000 or 6.8%, compared to $11.8 million, or $1.78 EPS, for the second quarter of 2026, and an increase of $1.8 million, or 16.3%, compared to $10.8 million, or $1.63 EPS, for the third quarter of 2025. For the third quarter of 2026, the quarterly return on assets was 1.48%, and the quarterly return on equity was 12.84%.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $36.3 million, or $5.49 EPS, an increase of $4.9 million, or 15.8%, compared to $31.3 million, or $4.65 EPS, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the return on assets was 1.45%, and the return on equity was 12.73%.

Third Quarter 2026 Performance and Operational Highlights

The third quarter of 2026 financial results included record-high quarterly net income and EPS along with increased loans, deposits, and assets. We also completed our New Orleans market banking center relocation project and continued to execute our plan to expand organically.

  • Net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $12.6 million, up $800,000, or 6.8%, from the prior quarter. Net income for the third quarter benefited from a $916,000 increase in net interest income.
  • Net interest income increased $916,000, or 3.2%, mainly as a result of higher earning asset balances and one more accrual day in the quarter. Net interest margin fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) was consistent at 3.61% for the third quarter of 2026 and for the prior quarter.
  • As of September 30, 2026, assets were $3.37 billion, up $56.2 million, or 1.7%, from $3.31 billion as of June 30, 2026, as a result of a $56.5 million increase in deposits.
  • Deposits totaled $2.96 billion as of September 30, 2026, up $56.5 million, or 1.9%, from $2.91 billion as of June 30, 2026. This increase was primarily due to higher commercial deposit account balances.
  • As of September 30, 2026, loans held for investment (“HFI”) were $2.32 billion, up $59.5 million, or 2.6%, from $2.26 billion as of June 30, 2026. In the third quarter of 2026, new loan originations and construction commitment fundings exceeded payments and payoffs.
  • In the third quarter of 2026, nonperforming assets (“NPA(s)”) increased $3.0 million, or 113.4%, to $5.6 million, or 0.17% of assets, as of September 30, 2026, primarily due to a commercial relationship that we are actively working to resolve. The provision for loan losses was lower in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the previous quarter.
  • We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share in the third quarter of 2026.
  • The 2026 stock repurchase program authorizes us to purchase up to $10.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. There was no stock repurchase activity between January 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the 2026 stock repurchase program had $10.0 million of available capacity.
  • We continued to implement our organic expansion plan with the following projects:
    • In the New Orleans market, we completed our banking center relocation project. We remodeled a portion of the ground floor of the Energy Centre Building on Poydras Street. On July 20, 2026, we relocated the Baronne Street retail banking center and the New Orleans market leadership and lenders to this updated, convenient, and visible location.
    • In the Acadiana market, construction is in process on our second full-service banking center in this market, located on Camellia Boulevard in Lafayette, Louisiana. We expect this location to open in the first quarter of 2027.
    • On October 22, 2026, we purchased a former credit union building located on Gause Boulevard E. in Slidell, Louisiana. We expect to open this location in the first quarter of 2027 as the Bank’s first full-service banking center location in Slidell and our second in the Northshore market.
  • In the third quarter of 2026, S&P Global Market Intelligence ranked the Bank within the top 50 best deposit franchises as of June 30, 2026, for banks with assets between $3.0 and $10.0 billion.

Blake Chatelain, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The third quarter of 2026 was very productive, and we are certainly pleased with our financial results. We experienced record-high quarterly net income and EPS, along with solid balance sheet activity and growth.

“In the third quarter of 2026, we saw an increase in loan demand throughout all of our markets, which positively impacted the loan portfolio, as well as the current loan pipeline. The deposit portfolio benefited from higher commercial deposit account balances, combined with the addition of new customers and accounts.

“When 2026 began, we expected a slowly decreasing interest rate environment; however, that shifted to a ‘higher for longer’ rate environment during the summer. Depending on the pace and magnitude of rate changes and the corresponding shift to the yield curve, this environment should benefit the Company. The balance sheet is positioned for a steady, higher rate environment as we price assets at higher rates, while managing the cost of deposits.

“Our organic expansion plan has been very productive in 2026, as we believe it’s a great time to continue investing for future growth. In May 2026, we completed the Northwest market relocation project, and in July 2026, we completed the New Orleans downtown move into the Energy Centre Building. Construction on our new banking center in the Acadiana market is progressing well. We also recently acquired an existing banking center building in Slidell, Louisiana, which we expect to become our second full-service banking center in the Northshore market. We look forward to opening both of these locations in the first quarter of 2027. On the talent front, we have recruited several new bankers across our markets as we continue to expand our Red River Bank team.

“I also want to mention the positive Louisiana economic activity news. There are many significant capital projects that have been announced in the past few years throughout Louisiana. We can identify over $250.0 billion of capital investments in a variety of industries that are in process of being built or in the planning stages. We are excited about the potential financial impact to Louisiana residents, communities, and the state from these investments.

“As we wrap up 2026, we are well-positioned for the future, with solid earnings and robust capital, combined with an expanded banking center network and dedicated bankers. We remain committed to serving our customers, growing, and providing steady financial results for our shareholders.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin FTE

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2026 was $29.9 million, which was $916,000, or 3.2%, higher than the second quarter of 2026 and benefited from one more accrual day. Net interest income increased due to higher average balances and yields on earning assets, partially offset by a higher cost of deposits and average deposit balances. Interest income on loans increased $1.0 million due to higher average loan balances and yields. For the third quarter of 2026, the average rate on new and renewed loans was 6.47%. Interest income on short-term liquid assets increased $567,000, primarily due to higher average balances. Interest expense increased by $558,000 due to adjusting selected deposit rates in response to rate competition, as well as higher interest-bearing transaction deposit balances.

Net interest margin FTE was 3.61% for the third quarter of 2026, which was consistent with the prior quarter. Net interest margin FTE improved slightly at the end of the third quarter as a result of the higher interest rate environment.

The federal funds rate range was 3.50%-3.75% between December 2025 and September 2026. In September 2026, the Federal Open Market Committee increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (“bp(s)”), resulting in a range of 3.75%-4.00%. The market’s expectation is that the federal funds range may increase by another 25 bps in the fourth quarter of 2026. During the fourth quarter of 2026, we project $93.8 million of fixed rate loans at 5.85% to mature, which we expect to redeploy into loans with higher rates. We have $529.5 million of floating rate loans at 6.24%, which we expect to reprice slightly higher. We also expect to receive $24.0 million in securities cash flows at 3.64%, for which we are evaluating reinvestment options as we consider balance sheet management strategies and the forecasted interest rate environment. We project $190.7 million in time deposits at 3.37% to mature, which we expect to renew at higher rates. Selected transaction deposit rates could also be further adjusted in response to rate competition. Depending on balance sheet activity, the interest rate environment, and competition, we expect net interest income and net interest margin FTE to increase slightly in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $4.9 million for the third quarter of 2026, up $186,000, or 3.9%, from the previous quarter.

The Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) partnerships reported a gain of $112,000 in the third quarter of 2026, compared to a loss of $291,000 in the previous quarter. These results were mainly due to fund value adjustments as an SBIC fund continues its wind-down phase. We expect SBIC income or loss to fluctuate in future quarters.

Mortgage loan income was $698,000 for the third quarter of 2026, down $230,000, or 24.8%, from the previous quarter, due to rising mortgage interest rates reducing mortgage activity.

Debit card income, net, was $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2026, consistent with the previous quarter. The third quarter of 2026 benefited from the receipt of a $50,000 periodic refund from our debit card provider, compared to a $63,000 similar refund in the previous quarter.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses totaled $18.7 million for the third quarter of 2026, up $408,000, or 2.2%, from the previous quarter.

Personnel expenses totaled $10.9 million for the third quarter of 2026, up $206,000, or 1.9%, from the previous quarter. This increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount and higher personnel-related accruals. As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, we had 390 and 381 total employees, respectively.

Loan and deposit expenses totaled $426,000 for the third quarter of 2026, up $184,000, or 76.0%, from the previous quarter. The second quarter of 2026 benefited from reimbursement of $82,000 of collection expenses due to the successful resolution of nonaccrual loans.

Occupancy and equipment expenses totaled $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2026, consistent with the previous quarter. The third quarter of 2026 included $46,000 of nonrecurring expenses related to the relocation of banking centers and offices in the Northwest and New Orleans markets.

Legal and professional expenses totaled $487,000 for the third quarter of 2026, down $117,000, or 19.4% from the previous quarter. This decrease was due to lower audit and consulting expenses.

Loans

Loans HFI were $2.32 billion as of September 30, 2026 and $2.26 billion as of June 30, 2026. In the third quarter of 2026, new loan originations and construction commitment fundings exceeded payments and payoffs. As of September 30, 2026, we had $93.8 million of unfunded construction loan commitments, which we expect to fund over time.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

NPAs totaled $5.6 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $3.0 million, or 113.4%, from June 30, 2026, primarily due to a commercial relationship that we are actively working to resolve. The ratio of NPAs to assets was 0.17% and 0.08% as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively.

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2026 was $500,000, which was lower than the provision for credit losses of $750,000 for the prior quarter. The decrease was driven by stable charge-off trends and steady local economic conditions affecting the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) calculation, partially offset by the increase in NPAs. As of September 30, 2026, the ACL was $25.1 million. The ratio of ACL to loans HFI was 1.08% as of September 30, 2026 and 1.09% as of June 30, 2026. The net charge-offs to average loans ratio was 0.01% for the third quarter of 2026 and 0.00% for the prior quarter.

Deposits

As of September 30, 2026, deposits were $2.96 billion, an increase of $56.5 million, or 1.9%, compared to June 30, 2026. The increase in deposits for the third quarter of 2026 was primarily due to higher commercial deposit account balances.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2026, was $382.2 million, compared to $384.6 million as of June 30, 2026. The $2.4 million, or 0.6%, decrease in stockholders’ equity during the third quarter of 2026 was attributable to a $13.4 million, net of tax, market adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss related to securities and $1.6 million in cash dividends related to a $0.25 per share cash dividend that we paid on September 17, 2026, partially offset by $12.6 million of net income and $129,000 of stock compensation.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Certain financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance are discussed as supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S.

Management and the board of directors review tangible common equity, realized common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per share, realized book value per share, and tangible common equity to tangible assets as part of managing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that are discussed may differ from that of other companies’ reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how other banking organizations calculate and name their financial measures similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed by us when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included within the following financial statement tables.

In addition, our actual financial results in the future may differ from those currently expected due to additional risks and uncertainties of which we are not currently aware or which we do not currently view as, but in the future may become, material to our business or operating results. Due to these and other possible uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this news release or to make predictions based solely on historical financial performance.

  • Project Recognized by UNESCO IITE, UIL, and Shanghai Open University for AI-Driven Education Innovation
  • Proprietary AI English Go and CEPA Platforms Combine Multi-Agent Architecture with Automated Diagnostics and Teacher Review
  • System Scaled to Nearly 100 Institutions, Supporting Over 40,000 Students and Three Accredited Shanghai University Courses

SINGAPORE and HONG KONG, Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NETCLASS TECHNOLOGY INC (Nasdaq: NTCL; the “Company” or “NetClass”), a B2B smart education IT solutions provider with offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo, today announced that its case study on multi-agent foreign language education received the Outstanding Case Award at the 2026 Digital Lifelong Learning International Conference.

The conference was held on October 16-17, 2026, at Shanghai Open University, co-organized by Shanghai Open University, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), and the UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education (UNESCO IITE). NetClass’s case, titled “Multi-Agent Collaboration-Driven Foreign Language Teaching Assessment and Personalized Learning Support Practice,” was selected from a nationwide pool of submissions on AI-empowered smart learning ecosystems.

The recognized initiative applies multi-agent architectures and large language models (LLMs) to common constraints in conventional foreign language instruction, such as limited oral practice, delayed grading feedback, and the difficulty of converting evaluation metrics into tailored lesson plans. Built on the Company’s proprietary AI English Go instruction system and CEPA assessment engine, the platform coordinates specialized agents to analyze discrete language components, including pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, discourse structure, and pragmatic usage. To address common LLM output variance and explainability issues, the software incorporates confidence score fusion, anomaly flagging, dynamic routing, and human instructor review for open-ended assignments like oral dialogue and composition.

At the conference, NetClass Deputy General Manager, Jing Wang, presented the case study and participated in discussions with academic researchers and industry peers on practical integration methods for AI in higher education.

“Receiving this recognition from prestigious institutions like UNESCO IITE and UIL validates our conviction that multi-agent AI architectures represent the future of educational technology,” said Dr. Jianbiao Dai, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NetClass. “Language teachers frequently spend excessive hours on routine error correction rather than direct instruction. By assigning discrete evaluation tasks to specialized software agents with human-in-the-loop controls, our platform provides reliable, diagnostic feedback that faculty can use in real time. This award fuels our strategic ambition to continuously push the boundaries of applied AI, expanding our multi-agent framework across broader subjects, diverse languages, and new global markets to fundamentally redefine digital education.”

Announces Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.20 Per Share

  • Reports revenue of $24.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, which increased by $3.0 million, or 14% compared to the same period in 2025 and increased by $3.7 million or 18% compared to the second quarter of 2026.

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IRADIMED CORPORATION (the “Company” or “Iradimed”) (NASDAQ: IRMD) announced today its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Company is a leader in developing innovative magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) compatible medical devices and products. The Company is a provider of (i) non-magnetic intravenous (“IV”) infusion pump systems and (ii) a non-magnetic patient vital signs monitoring system that are each designed for use during MRI procedures.

“We are pleased to report record revenue of $24.2 million for the third quarter, driven by the continued successful launch of our new 3870 MR IV pump. As our manufacturing team gains experience with the new platform while at the same time greatly ramping up production, we began realizing the efficiencies we anticipated with gross margin improving sequentially as expected. Quarterly bookings also set new records, driven by another record number of monitor units being booked and a 45% year-over-year increase in domestic pump channels booked. Of special note is that over 70% of pump bookings in the quarter were for our ‘quad stack’ configuration of four pumps on a single IV pole, as customers continue to accelerate their replacement of our older model and standardize on this setup which is a doubling of pump channels previously available at each MRI. With record bookings and rapidly building 3870 momentum, we believe we are well positioned for a strong finish to the year,” said Roger Susi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Iradimed.

“For the fourth quarter of 2026, we expect revenue of $25.0 million to $26.5 million, attaining a $100.0 million revenue run rate while generating GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.53 to $0.57 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.57 to $0.61. We revise our guidance for the full-year 2026, expecting to report revenue of $91.6 million to $93.1 million from $91.0 million to $96.0 million, and GAAP diluted earnings per share to $1.90 to $1.94 from $1.90 to $2.05 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to $2.07 to $2.11 from $2.06 to $2.21,” added Mr. Susi.

The Company’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of our outstanding common stock. The dividend is payable to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 13, 2026 and will be paid on November 27, 2026.

Presentation of Amounts

Amounts discussed in this press release are presented in millions, rounded to one decimal place, and amounts in the accompanying financial tables are presented in thousands, except per share data. Percentage changes are calculated using the amounts in thousands presented in the tables, and per share amounts are calculated using unrounded amounts. As a result, percentages recalculated using the rounded amounts in millions may differ from those presented.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company believes using non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share-diluted, and free cash flow is helpful to our investors. These measures, which we refer to as our non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information. Because non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

We calculate non-GAAP net income as net income excluding:

(1)  Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash expenses, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allows for meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period;

(2)  Operating expenses, net of tax, that we believe are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing core operating performance; and

(3)  Infrequent income tax items are considered based on their nature and are excluded from the provision for income taxes as these costs or benefits are not indicative of our normal or future provision for income taxes.

We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less net cash used in investing activities for the development of internal software and purchases of property and equipment.

We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, strengthening our balance sheet and returning cash to our stockholders through various means.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are important tools for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our ongoing core operating results.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in the table later in this release immediately following the condensed statements of
operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not indicative of net income or cash provided by operating activities.

About IRADIMED CORPORATION

IRADIMED CORPORATION is a leader in developing innovative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) compatible medical devices. We design, manufacture, market, and distribute MRI-compatible medical devices, accessories, disposables, and related services.

We are the only known provider of a non-magnetic intravenous (“IV”) infusion pump system specifically designed to be safe for use during MRI procedures. We were the first to develop an infusion delivery system that largely eliminates many of the dangers and problems present during MRI procedures. Standard infusion pumps contain magnetic and electronic components that can create radio frequency interference and are dangerous to operate in the presence of the powerful magnet that drives an MRI system. Our patented MRidium® MRI compatible IV infusion pump systems (3860 and 3870) have a non-magnetic ultrasonic motor, uniquely designed non-ferrous parts, and other special features to safely and predictably deliver anesthesia and other IV fluids during various MRI procedures. Our pump solutions provide a seamless approach that enables accurate, safe, and dependable fluid delivery before, during, and after an MRI scan, which is essential to critically ill patients who cannot be removed from their vital medications and children and infants who must generally be sedated to remain immobile during an MRI scan.

Our 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system has been designed with non-magnetic components and other special features to safely and accurately monitor a patient’s vital signs during various MRI procedures. The Iradimed 3880 system operates dependably in magnetic fields up to 30,000 gauss, which means it can operate virtually anywhere in the MRI scanner room. The Iradimed 3880 has a compact, lightweight design, allowing it to travel with the patient from the critical care unit to the MRI and back, resulting in increased patient safety through uninterrupted vital signs monitoring and decreasing the amount of time critically ill patients are away from critical care units. The features of the Iradimed 3880 include wireless ECG with dynamic gradient filtering; wireless SpO2 using Masimo® algorithms; non-magnetic respiratory CO2; invasive and non-invasive blood pressure; patient temperature, and optional advanced multi-gas anesthetic agent unit featuring continuous Minimum Alveolar Concentration measurements. The Iradimed 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system has an easy-to-use design and allows for the effective communication of patient vital signs information to clinicians.

  • 1-for-60 reverse split effective; split-adjusted trading expected to resume today on NYSE American
  • Minnesota on track for initial revenue in Q1 2027 and full 40 megawatts IT load in Q2 2027
  • Minnesota project-level debt financing progressing through confirmatory diligence
  • Exit from legacy CleanCore cleaning business complete; Zone is now pure-play AI infrastructure
  • Directors have invested $3,286,591 in Zone since August, including $786,591 by CEO
  • Texas campus offers significant option value with no required capital exposure

HOUSTON, Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zone Frontier Inc. (NYSE American: ZONE) (the “Company” or “Zone Frontier”) today provided a shareholder update on its Minnesota data center campus, its project-level debt financing process, the completion of its exit from the legacy CleanCore cleaning products business, insider share purchases and its Potter County, Texas data center campus. The update coincides with the effectiveness of the Company’s 1-for-60 reverse stock split and the resumption of trading of its common stock on a split-adjusted basis on the NYSE American today.

Reverse Stock Split and Resumption of Trading
The Company’s previously announced 1-for-60 reverse stock split became effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time today, and the Company’s common stock is expected to resume trading on a split-adjusted basis on the NYSE American at market open today under the existing symbol “ZONE” and a new CUSIP number, 184492205. Every 60 shares of the Company’s common stock were automatically combined into one share, reducing the number of shares outstanding from approximately 509,892,887 to approximately 8,498,215. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split; any fractional share that otherwise would have resulted from the reverse stock split was rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Minnesota Campus: Execution on Track
The Company’s Minnesota data center campus remains on track to commence revenue with Cerebras Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CBRS) in the first quarter of 2027 and to deliver its full 40 megawatts of critical IT load by the second quarter of 2027. The campus is supported by a 10-year Colocation Services Agreement with Cerebras, with two 10-year potential extension options.

Construction is progressing on schedule. Deposits have been placed on all major long-lead equipment with delivery timing on track. On site, vertical construction of the data hall and chiller building is advancing on completed footings and foundations, with structural steel rising and roof framing underway. Earthwork, underground utilities, and the power infrastructure to deliver the full 40 megawatts of critical load continue in parallel.

The Company’s project-level debt financing process for the Minnesota campus is progressing well and is in the confirmatory diligence phase. The financing is expected to be structured at the project special purpose vehicle level. Upon closing, the debt financing, together with the project’s equity capital, is expected to fully fund the project through full-scale operations.

“Minnesota is our top priority and has the full attention of our team,” said Tyler Hassen, Chief Executive Officer of Zone Frontier. “Construction is on track, we are advancing our debt financing toward closing, and we are focused every day on being a great partner to Cerebras.”

Transformation Complete
Earlier this month, the Company completed the sale of its legacy cleaning products business, including its wholly owned subsidiary CleanCore Global Limited, which, based on historical operating results, the Company estimates eliminated approximately $3 million in annual cash burn. With the sale, the Company has fully exited the CleanCore business and now operates as a pure-play AI infrastructure developer focused on power-enabled compute campuses, with lean operations and disciplined corporate spending. Additional information regarding the sale, including the consideration payable to the Company in the form of a promissory note and a potential earnout, is included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2026.

Insider Share Purchases
Members of the Company’s Board of Directors have invested a total of $3,286,591 in the Company since August, including $786,591 from the Chief Executive Officer Tyler Hassen. In the Company’s approximately $100 million public offering completed in August 2026, Mr. Hassen purchased 2,000,000 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants, and another member of the Board of Directors purchased 10,000,000 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants. In addition, during October 2026, Mr. Hassen purchased 2,500,000 shares of common stock in open market transactions. In total, directors have purchased approximately 241,667 shares of common stock on a post-reverse-split basis (14,500,000 shares on a pre-split basis) since August, including approximately 75,000 post-split shares (4,500,000 pre-split shares) purchased by Mr. Hassen. These purchases have been reported on Forms 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Our board and I have invested in Zone because we believe in what we are building,” said Mr. Hassen. “Our interests are fully aligned with our shareholders, and we are confident in our strategy and in the long-term value we are working to create.”

Texas Campus: Option Value with Significant Potential
At its Potter County, Texas data center campus, being developed in partnership with HST Technologies, Inc. and its technology platform, the Company continues to make progress with potential tenants and key vendors while permitting and power interconnection studies are completed. The campus is expected to be initially built in phases of 50 to 100 megawatts up to 200 megawatts, with ample potential to exceed well over 500 megawatts over time.

The Company’s capital investment in Texas is entirely within its control. The Company has no obligation to build, and base rent under its long-term ground lease begins only when construction starts on each site area. Under the joint venture agreement with HST, the Company’s initial $100 million capital contribution is scheduled for April 2, 2027. If it is not fully invested by then, HST has no recourse against the Company; the only potential consequence is minimal dilution of the Company’s interest in the project.

The Company intends to invest in Texas only as long-term tenant lease agreements are signed and power capacity and permits are secured, and views the campus as significant option value for shareholders. The approximately 4,077-acre site is located in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) region and benefits from onsite water and nearby substations, fiber, natural gas pipelines and wind capacity.

“We are very optimistic about our Texas campus,” said Mr. Hassen. “We continue to expect to be in a position to raise project-level equity and debt capital on attractive terms by the end of the first quarter of 2027, and we have a great relationship with our partners at HST. We will act in the best interest of our shareholders, in close coordination with HST, as we move this project forward.”

“Our partnership with Zone brings together a premier site de-risked by our technology stack, and a team that is focused on execution,” said Rudy Roy, Chief Executive Officer of HST Technologies, Inc. “We are making real progress with tenants and vendors, and we are excited about how our software platform will help scale critical AI Infrastructure in the Texas Panhandle.”

“Minnesota is just the beginning,” added Mr. Hassen. “With our transformation complete, our flagship campus on track and a Texas campus that gives us meaningful optionality, we believe Zone is well positioned to build a leading AI infrastructure business.”

Combining entertainment collectibles with preservation and authentication technology, Alliance Authentic continues to connect with collectors through exclusive releases and fan experiences

PLANTATION, Fla., Oct. 30, 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, today announced that its Alliance Authentic division will showcase an exclusive collection of Danny Elfman signed collectibles, alongside preserved vinyl records and collectible figures, at L.A. Comic Con, taking place October 30 through November 1 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation

At Alliance Authentic’s booth (#1354), collectors will find something they cannot get anywhere else: five Danny Elfman signed pieces exclusively for Alliance Authentic, including The Simpsons Main Title Theme on 10-inch vinyl, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice and Justice League on LP, plus a Jack Skellington figure from Handmade By Robots. Each piece is limited to just five, and every signature is authenticated. The signed pieces are available only at L.A. Comic Con, with any remaining pieces offered to collectors registered with Alliance Authentic after the show.

The brand made its Comic Con debut in San Diego this summer, where Nerd News Social called it “the collecting platform for a new generation,” and appeared at New York Comic Con earlier this month, where Temple of Geek said Alliance Authentic “takes vinyl collecting to a new level.”

The booth will also carry more than 65 preserved vinyl soundtracks across film, TV, anime and games, from Spirited Away and KPop Demon Hunters to Scream, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and more, plus preserved Funko Pop! and Handmade By Robots figures. Fans can step inside a nine-foot Alliance Authentic collectible box for a photo, and collectors with a registered Alliance Authentic account who take one get a free Handmade By Robots Scooby-Doo micro figure, while supplies last. Everything at the booth, including the signed Elfman pieces, is available first come, first served.

Alliance Authentic preserves the pieces fans care about most. Every piece at the booth, the signed Elfman pieces included, is curated, numbered, limited and sealed in Certified Uncirculated condition, so none ever reached a retail shelf. An NFC chip gives each piece a verified identity. Collectors tap the chip to confirm it, claim it, and keep its full history with it if it ever changes hands.

“We’re so excited to bring the full Alliance Authentic experience to the fan community at L.A. Comic Con,” said Jeffrey Smith, SVP of Marketing at Alliance Authentic. “Danny Elfman signatures on some of the most important work of his career, the week of Halloween? That’s incredibly special. If you love horror, sci-fi or anime, we preserved some of the coolest pieces out there for you. I can’t wait to see everyone at the booth.”

About Alliance Authentic

Each carries a verified identity and provenance that travels with it to every future collector.
