— FDA clearance allows Pasithea to advance PAS-004 for NF1-associated cNF, a condition affecting over 95% of people with NF1 and for which there are currently no FDA-approved systemic therapies. —

MIAMI, Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. (Nasdaq: KTTA) (“Pasithea” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing PAS-004, a next-generation oral macrocyclic MEK inhibitor for the treatment of chronic diseases, including neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated neurofibromas, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application for a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial for PAS-004 in patients with NF1 associated cutaneous neurofibromas (cNF). The Phase 2 study will be conducted under an active IND overseen by the FDA Division of Dermatology and Dentistry (DDD).

“FDA clearance of our IND for PAS-004 in cutaneous neurofibromas is an important milestone for Pasithea and a significant step forward for people living with NF1 who have cNFs,” said Kartik Krishnan, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of Pasithea. “Cutaneous neurofibromas are among the most visible and burdensome manifestations of NF1, and there are currently no approved systemic therapies for them. PAS-004 is designed to address this unmet need as a once-daily oral MEK inhibitor whose long half-life and flat pharmacokinetic profile may support chronic dosing.”

“We are pleased to expand the clinical development of PAS-004 into NF1-associated cNF, the second indication for which we intend to seek regulatory approval. PAS-004 has the potential to become the first FDA-approved systemic treatment for NF1-associated cNF, addressing a significant unmet medical need and what we believe represents a multibillion-dollar market opportunity,” said Dr. Tiago Reis Marques, MD, PhD, CEO of Pasithea. “PAS-004 is intended for the more than 80,000 NF1 patients in the United States estimated to have moderate to severe cNF disease burden.”

Pasithea supported its IND with nonclinical safety, clinical safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic data and early signals of treatment response emerging from its ongoing Phase 1/1b study in adults with NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas and its ongoing Phase 1 study in adults with advanced cancer.

With the IND now in effect, Pasithea may proceed with clinical development of PAS-004 in patients with NF1-cNFs in the United States.

About Cutaneous Neurofibromas

NF1-associated cutaneous neurofibromas (cNF) are benign tumors that grow in or just beneath the skin at virtually any location in the body and are a hallmark of NF1 It is a serious condition and associated with significant morbidity that can have substantial impact on day-to-day functioning, leading patients to rate this as the most significant burden of NF1 despite other potentially life-threatening complications. cNF typically begin to appear in adolescence, generally increase in number and volume with age. The number of cNF on an individual patient can range from a few to tens of thousands. Although malignant transformation does not occur with NF1-associated cNF, cNF are present in over 95% of individuals with NF1 and have a significant negative impact both physically, with disfigurement, and on health-related quality of life (QoL). A greater cNF burden, particularly volume and number of cNF and facial involvement, are associated with poorer health-related QoL. Patients have rated cutaneous manifestations of NF1 as the most significant burden of NF1 largely owing to cNF-associated disfigurement despite other potentially life-threatening complications. In a Patient Listening Session organized by the Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF), four of the six representatives who were selected to collectively represent the NF1 community described how the appearance of the cNF and associated stigma consistently interferes with their activities of daily living, including being denied employment opportunities, harassed and in fear of being out in public. Current management relies largely on procedural approaches such as surgical excision, electrodesiccation, or laser therapy. There are no FDA approved therapies approved for the treatment of NF1-associated cNF.

For additional financial information related to Q3 2026, refer to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2026, which can be accessed at https://investors.firstwatch.com in the Financials & Filings section.

Updated Outlook Fiscal Year 2026

Based upon third quarter results and current trends, the Company updated the following guidance metrics for the 52-week fiscal year ending December 27, 2026:

  • Same-Restaurant Sales Growth of ~2.0%
  • Total revenue growth of ~13.5%(1)
  • Adjusted EBITDA(2) of ~$136.0 million(1)
  • 60 net new System-wide restaurants, including 2 company-owned restaurant closures (53 new company-owned restaurants and 9 new franchise-owned restaurants)
  • Capital expenditures of ~$145.0 million invested primarily in new restaurant projects and planned remodels(3)

______________________
(1) includes net impact of approximately 1% in total revenue growth and approximately $2 million in Adjusted EBITDA associated with completed acquisitions.
(2) We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.
(3) Does not include the capital outlays associated with the acquisition of franchise-owned restaurants.

Conference Call and Webcast
Chris Tomasso, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Ashlee Weisser, Chief Financial Officer, will host a conference call and webcast to discuss these financial results for Q3 2026 on November 3, 2026 at 8:00 AM ET.

Interested parties may listen to the conference call via any one of two options:

  • Dial 201-389-0914, which will be answered by an operator
  • Join the webcast at https://investors.firstwatch.com/news-and-events/events

Definitions

The following definitions apply to these terms as used in this release:

System-wide restaurants: the total number of restaurants, including all company-owned and franchise-owned restaurants.

System-wide sales: consists of restaurant sales from our company-owned restaurants and franchise-owned restaurants. We do not recognize the restaurant sales from our franchise-owned restaurants as revenue.

Same-restaurant sales growth: the percentage change in year-over-year restaurant sales (excluding gift card breakage) for the comparable restaurant base, which we define as the number of company-owned First Watch branded restaurants open for 18 months or longer as of the beginning of the fiscal year (“Comparable Restaurant Base”). For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2025, there were 454 restaurants and 381 restaurants, respectively, in our Comparable Restaurant Base. Measuring our same-restaurant sales growth allows management to evaluate the performance of our existing restaurant base. We believe this measure is useful for investors to provide a consistent comparison of restaurant sales results and trends across periods within our core, established restaurant base, unaffected by results of store openings, closings, and other transitional changes.

Same-restaurant traffic growth: the percentage change in year-over-year traffic counts using the Comparable Restaurant Base. Measuring our same-restaurant traffic growth allows management to evaluate the performance of our existing restaurant base. We believe this measure is useful for investors because same-restaurant traffic provides an indicator as to the development of our brand and the effectiveness of our marketing strategy.

Adjusted EBITDA: a non-GAAP measure, represents Net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes and items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA margin: a non-GAAP measure, represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

Restaurant level operating profit: a non-GAAP measure, represents restaurant sales, less restaurant operating expenses, which include food and beverage costs, labor and other related expenses, other restaurant operating expenses, pre-opening expenses and occupancy expenses. Restaurant level operating profit excludes corporate-level expenses and other items that we do not consider in the evaluation of the ongoing core operating performance of our restaurants.

Restaurant level operating profit margin: a non-GAAP measure, represents Restaurant level operating profit as a percentage of restaurant sales.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA margin, (iii) Restaurant level operating profit and (iv) Restaurant level operating profit margin. Our presentation of these non-GAAP measures includes isolating the effects of some items that are either nonrecurring in nature or have no meaningful correlation to our ongoing core operating performance. These supplemental measures of performance are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional visibility into our operations, facilitate analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance, help to identify operational trends and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by Management in our financial and operational decision-making. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and have important limitations as analytical tools.

Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin

Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin are not indicative of our overall results and, because they exclude corporate-level expenses, do not accrue directly to the benefit of our stockholders. We will continue to incur such expenses in the future. Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin are important measures we use to evaluate the performance and profitability of each operating restaurant, individually and in the aggregate and to make decisions regarding future spending and other operational decisions. We believe that Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin provide useful information about our operating results, identify operational trends and allow for transparency with respect to key metrics used by us in our financial and operational decision-making.

Envoy brings its on-site EV car-sharing amenity to the 321-unit Montage at Midtown residential community, offering residents access to Tesla Model 3 vehicles through its mobile app.

FORT MYERS, FL, Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Envoy, a provider of on-site electric vehicle car-sharing services and a wholly owned subsidiary of CID HoldCo, Inc., doing business as Dot Ai (Nasdaq: DAIC), (“Dot AI”), today announced its expansion into Southwest Florida with the launch of on-site EV car sharing at Montage at Midtown, a 321-unit residential community within Fort Myers’ $100 million Midtown redevelopment.

Developed by Catalyst Community Development and managed by ZRS Management, Montage at Midtown now offers residents access to two Tesla Model 3 vehicles through Envoy’s “Mobility as an Amenity®” platform, available to reserve by the hour or day through the Envoy Mobility app. The launch marks Envoy’s first location in Southwest Florida, extending its Florida footprint beyond Miami.

The service gives residents convenient access to an electric vehicle without the costs and responsibilities of owning an additional car. For multifamily developers and property managers, on-site EV car sharing offers a differentiated amenity that expands transportation options and introduces greater flexibility into residential amenity and mobility planning.

“Developers are looking beyond traditional amenities to offer services that make everyday life more convenient for residents,” said Drew Hopkins, President of Envoy Technologies. “On-site EV car sharing gives residents access to transportation without the commitment of owning another vehicle, while giving property owners more flexibility in how they approach mobility, parking and the overall residential experience.”

Montage at Midtown is the first phase of a broader $100 million redevelopment of Fort Myers’ Midtown district. The community features 321 apartments and a 17,000-square-foot amenity center, with future phases planned to include retail, office and additional residential development.

“Montage was designed to give residents the flexibility to live, work and get around without having to rely on a car for every trip,” said Cortney Mondon, Regional Manager at ZRS Management. “Having shared electric vehicles available right on the property gives our residents another convenient transportation option and complements the broader vision for Midtown as a connected, vibrant community.”

Through its “Mobility as an Amenity™” platform, Envoy manages the vehicles, charging, insurance, maintenance and resident support, while residents reserve and access the cars directly through the Envoy Mobility app. The fully managed service allows property partners to introduce EV car sharing without taking on day-to-day fleet operations.

Property managers and developers interested in bringing Envoy’s EV car-sharing amenity to their communities can learn more at envoythere.com/nominate.

About Envoy Technologies
Envoy provides on-site electric vehicle car-sharing services for residential communities, hotels, resorts and campus properties. Through the Envoy app, residents and guests can reserve shared electric vehicles by the hour or day, while Envoy manages insurance, maintenance and day-to-day operations. The service gives residents convenient access to electric transportation without the costs of individual vehicle ownership and offers property owners an additional amenity without the responsibility of managing vehicles.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Envoy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dot Ai (Nasdaq: DAIC).

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LGI Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGIH) today announced financial results for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

“We delivered strong third quarter financial results, generating year-over-year growth in closings, revenue, and earnings while maintaining strong profitability, expanding our community count, and further strengthening our balance sheet,” said Eric Lipar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LGI Homes.

“During the quarter, we delivered 1,222 homes, a 10.4% increase year-over-year, including 33 currently and previously leased homes. The 1,189 new homes we closed generated homebuilding revenues of $437.5 million, up 10.3%, and total revenues reached $444.5 million, up 10.2% from the prior year.

“Homebuilding gross margin of 20.2% and adjusted homebuilding gross margin of 23.7% were both above the midpoint of our previous guidance ranges and up 40 basis points sequentially. This reflects the continued benefits of our predominantly self-developed, on-balance-sheet land position and our disciplined approach to balancing affordability and profitability. Our teams also did an excellent job managing costs. SG&A expenses declined on an absolute-dollar basis, and SG&A as a percentage of total revenues improved 180 basis points year-over-year. As a result, net income increased to $24.6 million, or $1.05 per diluted share. We also continued to strengthen our balance sheet, reducing our net debt to capital ratio to 40.6%, a 420 basis point improvement year-over-year.

“Community growth remains an important element of our long-term strategy. We ended the quarter with 151 active communities, a 7.1% increase compared to the same time last year.

“Based on our year-to-date results and current market conditions, we are narrowing our full-year closings guidance and now expect to close between 4,600 and 4,800 homes in 2026. The revised outlook reflects slower sales activity in the quarter as affordability pressures continued to weigh on demand. We continue to see interest in homeownership and are leaning into our proven sales and marketing strategies to improve sales pace while maintaining our disciplined approach to balancing affordability and profitability. We are maintaining the remainder of our full-year 2026 guidance.”

Mr. Lipar concluded, “As we head into the final quarter of the year, our focus is on finishing 2026 strong. Affordability remains the key consideration for today’s buyers, and we have intentionally broadened our sales process to work with more prospective customers who may need additional time to qualify. With a growing community count, a strengthened balance sheet, and teams that continue to execute at a high level, we believe LGI Homes is well positioned to achieve our full-year objectives and carry that momentum into 2027.”

Full Year 2026 Outlook

Subject to the caveats in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release and the assumptions noted below, the Company is narrowing its home closings outlook for the full year 2026 and reiterating its other outlook items for the full year 2026. Currently, the Company expects for full year 2026:

  • Home closings between 4,600 and 4,800
  • Active selling communities at the end of 2026 between 150 and 160
  • Average sales price per home closed between $360,000 and $370,000
  • Homebuilding gross margin as a percentage of homebuilding revenues between 19.0% and 21.0%, adjusted for estimated capitalized interest and estimated purchase accounting of approximately 3.5%, which results in adjusted homebuilding gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of homebuilding revenues between 22.5% and 24.5%
  • SG&A as a percentage of total revenues between 15.0% and 16.0%
  • Effective tax rate of approximately 26.5%

This outlook assumes that general economic conditions, including input costs, materials, product and labor availability, interest rates and mortgage availability, in the remainder of 2026 are similar to those experienced to date in 2026 and that construction costs, availability of land and land development costs for the remainder of 2026 are consistent with the Company’s recent experience. In addition, this outlook assumes that governmental regulations relating to land development and home construction are similar to those currently in place and does not take into account any additional changes to U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and duties on homebuilding products.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has provided information in this press release relating to adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment, adjusted homebuilding gross margin, and net debt to capital ratio.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

Adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income less inventory impairment charges. The Company defines adjusted basic earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average basic shares outstanding. The Company defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share provides useful information to investors because such measures isolate the impact that inventory impairment charges have on net income and earnings per share. However, because adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the inventory impairment charge, which has real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share as measures of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share should be considered only as supplements to net income, basic earnings per share, and diluted earnings per share, respectively, as measures of the Company’s performance.

The following table reconciles adjusted net income to net income, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable, and adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income by basic or diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively (dollars in thousands, except earnings per share, unaudited):

Homebuilding Gross Margin Excluding Inventory Impairment and Adjusted Homebuilding Gross Margin

Homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment as homebuilding gross margin less inventory impairment charges. The Company defines adjusted homebuilding gross margin as homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment, less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Management believes homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin are useful because they isolate the impact that capitalized interest, purchase accounting adjustments, and inventory impairment (as applicable) have on homebuilding gross margin. However, because homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin exclude capitalized interest, purchase accounting adjustments, and inventory impairment (as applicable), which have real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin as measures of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin should be considered only as supplements to homebuilding gross margin as a measure of the Company’s performance.

The following table reconciles homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin to homebuilding gross margin (homebuilding revenues less homebuilding costs), which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

Net Debt to Capital Ratio

Net debt to capital ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations and as an indicator of its ability to obtain financing. The Company defines net debt to capital ratio as net debt (which is total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) divided by net debt plus total equity. Management believes that the presentation of net debt to capital ratio provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial leverage and its ability to meet long-term obligations. By excluding cash and cash equivalents from total debt, the ratio offers a clearer view of the Company’s capital structure and financial flexibility. Management uses this metric to monitor the Company’s capital efficiency and to evaluate the effectiveness of its capital management strategies over time. Other companies may define this measure differently and, as a result, the Company’s measure of net debt to capital ratio may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies.

The following table reconciles net debt to capital ratio to debt to capital ratio, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

    September 30, 2026   December 31, 2025

As SKYWORTH Solar entered diverse markets across Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, it faced a highly fragmented Android ecosystem.

By integrating the EngageLab AppPush solution, SKYWORTH Solar has unified its notification routing capabilities, overcoming the limitations of disparate device manufacturer channels. This integration ensures consistent, localized, and compliant data transmission during peak operational periods or critical policy rollouts.

Driving Efficiency Across Three Core Scenarios
With EngageLab AppPush, SKYWORTH Solar has successfully tailored its messaging strategies to meet the distinct needs of its diverse user base:

  • Streamlining Distributor Operations: The platform enables SKYWORTH Solar to distribute targeted updates regarding new product launches, pricing policies, inventory, and order statuses. Messages are intelligently scheduled and adapted to each distributor’s local time zone and device language, ensuring seamless operational alignment.
  • Empowering On-Site Engineering Teams: For field personnel, the app reliably delivers construction milestones, inspection tasks, and critical equipment alerts (such as inverter or battery anomalies). By integrating with major device manufacturer channels alongside standard routing options, EngageLab ensures these time-sensitive notifications reach teams even in challenging outdoor connectivity environments.
  • Enhancing the End-User Experience: Property owners receive prompt, periodic updates on energy generation and grid yields, as well as immediate alerts for any equipment anomalies, ensuring transparency and trust.

“As we expand our renewable energy solutions globally, staying connected with our distributors and field engineers in real time is paramount,” said the Head of Global Operations at SKYWORTH Solar. “EngageLab’s AppPush provides the reliability and intelligent routing we need to keep our international operations running smoothly.”

As SKYWORTH Solar continues to scale its channel network, this advanced communication infrastructure will grow in tandem. EngageLab remains committed to leveraging its AI-first engagement capabilities to help SKYWORTH Solar maintain synchronized, reliable, and context-aware communications with its global stakeholders.
