Commercially launched in the U.S. in November 2025, TONMYA (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) for long-term daily dosing at bedtime is the first new FDA-approved treatment for fibromyalgia in adults in more than 15 years

The sublingual TONMYA tablet containing a basifying agent achieved the design objectives of rapid transmucosal absorption and bypassing first-pass liver metabolism

TONMYA was designed to decrease production of the active metabolite norcyclobenzaprine, which is believed to improve the durability of analgesic response in fibromyalgia relative to the transient (~1 month) effects of oral, swallowed cyclobenzaprine

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully integrated, commercial biotechnology company, today announced the publication of a paper, “Single-Dose Pharmacokinetic Assessment of TNX-102 SL (Cyclobenzaprine HCl Sublingual Tablets): Results From Randomized, Open-Label Studies in Healthy Volunteers,” in Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, the peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Clinical Pharmacology (ACCP). TONMYA™ was investigated as TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 15, 2025, for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults. The manuscript can be accessed at: https://accp1.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cpdd.70034.

“These data demonstrate the importance of the proprietary basifying agent in TONMYA’s sublingual formulation,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “An earlier study conducted by Tonix showed that transmucosal delivery cannot be achieved by simply applying a liquid cyclobenzaprine HCl formulation under the tongue. Due to the basifying agent ingredient, sublingual TONMYA achieves rapid transmucosal absorption that bypasses first-pass hepatic metabolism. This pharmacokinetic profile underpins TONMYA’s unique sublingual formulation, which is designed to increase parent drug exposure during sleep while reducing exposure and side effects to the long half-life, active metabolite.”

Dr. Lederman continued, “Bedtime oral swallowed cyclobenzaprine was one of the first drugs studied as a treatment for fibromyalgia, but it failed because the benefits were only transient (~1 month) and fibromyalgia is a chronic condition requiring durable responses.1 Our design objective for TONMYA was to improve the durability of cyclobenzaprine’s treatment effect by decreasing liver production of the major active metabolite norcyclobenzaprine, which we believe counteracted the benefits of swallowed cyclobenzaprine over time. We believe the clinical pharmacology studies published in Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, show that TONMYA achieved this design objective. Later studies2,3 confirmed that TONMYA as a daily bedtime medicine provides a durable analgesic benefit to fibromyalgia patients and is generally well tolerated.”

The publication reports findings from two Phase 1 single-dose, open-label studies conducted in healthy adult volunteers.

In Study 1 (n=24), three sublingual formulations of cyclobenzaprine HCl 2.8 mg, each containing a different basifying agent, were compared with oral immediate-release (IR) cyclobenzaprine HCl 5 mg under fasting conditions. All sublingual formulations showed rapid absorption and increased relative bioavailability compared with oral IR cyclobenzaprine HCl. The potassium phosphate dibasic formulation (designated TNX-102 SL) demonstrated the most favorable pharmacokinetic profile, with a 154% relative bioavailability compared to oral IR, an absorption lag of approximately 3 minutes versus approximately 37 minutes for oral IR, and a 783% higher dose-normalized AUC during the first hour post-dose. Based on these results, the potassium phosphate dibasic formulation was selected for further clinical development.

In Study 2 (n=16), TNX-102 SL 2.8 mg and 5.6 mg were evaluated in a crossover design under fasting and fed conditions. The formulation exhibited dose proportionality between the two dose levels, and pharmacokinetic parameters were not affected by a high-calorie, high-fat meal, confirming the absence of a food effect. This study also provided a full clinical characterization of the active metabolite norcyclobenzaprine, demonstrating an elimination half-life of approximately 60 hours. Reduced exposure to norcyclobenzaprine following sublingual administration, as compared with oral delivery, is believed to contribute to the improved durability of efficacy and favorable tolerability profile observed with TONMYA in Phase 3 fibromyalgia studies.2,3

Across both studies, single-dose sublingual cyclobenzaprine HCl was generally well tolerated. All treatment-emergent adverse events were mild or moderate in severity. The most commonly reported adverse events were oral hypoesthesia and abnormal taste. No serious adverse events were reported, and no clinically meaningful changes were observed in laboratory parameters, vital signs, or electrocardiogram findings.

About Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that is understood to result from amplified sensory and pain signaling within the central nervous system. Fibromyalgia afflicts an estimated 6-12 million adults in the U.S., approximately 90% of whom are women. Symptoms of fibromyalgia include chronic widespread pain, nonrestorative sleep, fatigue, and morning stiffness. Other associated symptoms include cognitive dysfunction and mood disturbances, including anxiety and depression. Individuals suffering from fibromyalgia struggle with their daily activities, have impaired quality of life, and frequently are disabled. Physicians and patients report common dissatisfaction with currently marketed products.

INDICATION
TONMYA is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
TONMYA is contraindicated:
In patients with hypersensitivity to cyclobenzaprine or any inactive ingredient in TONMYA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as an anaphylactic reaction, urticaria, facial and/or tongue swelling, or pruritus. Discontinue TONMYA if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected. With concomitant use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or within 14 days after discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor. Hyperpyretic crisis seizures and deaths have occurred in patients who received cyclobenzaprine (or structurally similar tricyclic antidepressants) concomitantly with MAO inhibitors drugs.
During the acute recovery phase of myocardial infarction, and in patients with arrhythmias, heart block or conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure. In patients with hyperthyroidism.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Embryofetal toxicity: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause neural tube defects when used two weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk and to use effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after the final dose. Perform a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TONMYA to exclude use of TONMYA during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Serotonin syndrome: Concomitant use of TONMYA with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, bupropion, meperidine, verapamil, or MAO inhibitors increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Treatment with TONMYA and any concomitant serotonergic agent should be discontinued immediately if serotonin syndrome symptoms occur and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. If concomitant treatment with TONMYA and other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, careful observation is advised, particularly during treatment initiation or dosage increases.

Tricyclic antidepressant-like adverse reactions: Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to TCAs. TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.

Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.

CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities. Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur.

Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported.

CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced.

Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced.
Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED).

Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition.

Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established.

Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.

Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.

Please see additional safety information in the full Prescribing Information.
To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Tonix Medicines, Inc. at 1-888-869-7633, or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Research News and Market Data on IPOOF

InPlay Oil Corp. 

Mar 05, 2026, 07:30 ET

CALGARY, AB, March 5, 2026 /CNW/ – InPlay Oil Corp. (TSX: IPO) (OTCQX: IPOOF) (“InPlay” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, along with the results of its independent oil and gas reserves evaluation effective December 31, 2025 (the “Reserve Report”) prepared by GLJ Ltd. (“GLJ”). InPlay’s audited annual financial statements and notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2025 will be available at “www.sedarplus.ca” and the Company’s website at “www.inplayoil.com“. An updated corporate presentation will be available on our website in due course.

Message to Shareholders:

InPlay’s 2025 fiscal year marked a truly transformational chapter in the Company’s history, highlighted by the successful completion of the highly accretive April 2025 acquisition of Pembina assets in our core focus area. This strategic transaction significantly strengthened our already robust drilling inventory, expanded our operational scale, increased our ability to generate meaningful free adjusted funds flow (“FAFF”)(4) and enhanced the long-term sustainability and depth of our asset base.

InPlay’s long-term strategy is anchored in disciplined capital allocation, driving sustainable organic growth while pursuing strategic, accretive acquisitions; an approach supported by the Company’s proven track record of execution. InPlay has never been better positioned to advance this two-pronged growth strategy. The Company’s foundation was further strengthened in 2025 with the addition of Delek Group Ltd. (“Delek”) as a strategically aligned 32.7% shareholder. Delek has a strong history of value creation in the international energy markets with significant investments in the North Sea (Ithaca Energy plc) and the Mediterranean (NewMed Energy). Delek identified Canada as a stable and attractive jurisdiction with compelling return potential, positioning InPlay as a natural extension of its global energy investment strategy. Delek’s investment enhances InPlay’s financial strength and strategic flexibility, providing access to additional capital and alternative funding sources to support the Company’s growth strategy. Delek played a pivotal role in introducing InPlay to the Israeli capital markets and supporting the successful completion of the Company’s oversubscribed senior unsecured bond offering in February 2026. The offering was completed at an attractive cost of capital of 6.23%, further strengthening InPlay’s balance sheet and liquidity profile. InPlay looks forward to working closely with Delek to execute its long-term strategy of building a sustainable, growth-oriented Canadian oil and gas company focused on delivering top tier returns to shareholders.

During 2025, InPlay remained focused on operational execution, disciplined capital allocation and prioritizing FAFF while continuing to return capital to shareholders and pay down debt. Adjusted Funds Flow(2) (“AFF”) increased by 67% in 2025, delivering FAFF of $62 million. These results were achieved despite a 14% decline in WTI pricing, demonstrating the resilience and capital efficient nature of our light oil asset base. FAFF yield at year end was 18% (one of the highest in our peer group), dividends paid to shareholders were $27.1 million and debt repayment of $36 million post-acquisition close on April 7, 2025. The Company capitalized on its operational excellence to generate strong capital efficiencies during our 2025 capital program. Our team delivered some of the strongest-performing Cardium wells in 2025 with payouts averaging approximately seven months, underscoring the quality of our inventory and technical execution capabilities. This strong operational performance enabled us to increase production guidance over the course of the year while simultaneously reducing capital expenditures.

The Company’s exceptional 2025 reserve results reflect both the impact of the acquisition and strong operating results achieved during the year. Proved Developed Producing (“PDP”) reserves increased 179%, while a long reserve life index continues to underpin a low decline, high FAFF generating asset base. Despite a material year-over-year decrease in the benchmark Edmonton light oil price used in the Reserve Report (20% in 2026, 14% in 2027, 9% thereafter), the Company increased its Total Proved (“TP”) and Total Proved plus Probable (“TPP”) net asset value to $30.16/share and $44.02/share respectively, underscoring the significant intrinsic value embedded in our assets relative to current market levels.

Looking forward, InPlay is exceptionally well positioned to continue to execute key operational priorities, disciplined capital allocation and maximizing FAFF while continuing to return capital to shareholders. As announced on February 24, 2026, InPlay’s Board of Directors approved a 2026 capital budget of $66 – $74 million to drill 12 – 14 net horizontal Cardium wells. This program is forecast to result in annual average production of 18,600 – 19,200 boe/d(1) (60% – 62% light crude oil and NGLs), an 11% increase over 2025, resulting in a FAFF yield(4) of 11% – 15% (expected to be top tier amongst peers). The capital program is designed to be flexible and responsibly manage the pace of development, maintain operational and financial strength while remaining focused on delivering return of capital to shareholders.

2025 Financial and Operating Highlights:

  • Closed a transformational acquisition of Cardium-focused light oil assets in Pembina at highly accretive acquisition metrics (+45% AFF/share(3), +65% FAFF/share(3)), improving the Company’s sustainability through a lower decline rate, strong reserve life index and increased tier one drilling locations.
  • Achieved average annual production of 17,043 boe/d(1) (61% light crude oil and NGLs), a 96% increase from 2024.
  • Improved light oil production to 8,143 bbl/d, a 131% increase from 2024 and a 160% increase Q4 2025 over Q4 2024. Light crude oil weighting improved 20% from 2024.
  • Realized strong operating income of $144.1 million, a 75% increase from 2024, which resulted in an operating income profit margin(4) of 49%.
  • Generated AFF(2) of $114.4 million ($4.68 per weighted average basic share(3)), a 67% increase from 2024 despite a 14% decrease in WTI prices. Fourth quarter AFF totaled $30.7 million ($1.10 per weighted average basic share(3)), a 64% increase from 2024 even as WTI prices declined 16%. Fourth quarter AFF also increased 15% over Q3 2025.
  • Delivered FAFF of $62 million and distributed $27.1 million in dividends, equating to a 18% FAFF yield(4) and 8.7% dividend yield relative to year-end market capitalization. Since November 2022, total dividends distributed amounted to $69.7 million ($3.69 per share, including dividends declared to date in 2026).
  • Invested $52 million in development capital which was $1 million below the lower end of our May post-acquisition 2025 capital budget of $53 – $60 million and 17% less than 2024. Due to capital efficiencies, disciplined spending, and well outperformance, capital was 35% lower than our original capital forecast of $80 million on announcement on February 2025 to achieve production guidance.
  • Repaid $35 million of net debt from closing of the Pembina acquisition on April 7, 2025.

2025 Reserves Highlights(1):

  • InPlay’s capital efficient 2025 drilling program and accretive Pembina asset acquisition resulted in strong reserve results for 2025:
    • PDP reserves of 48,002 mboe (60% light and medium crude oil & NGLs), 179% increase from 2024.
    • TP reserves of 90,987 mboe (64% light and medium crude oil & NGLs), 107% increase from 2024.
    • TPP reserves of 119,937 mboe (64% light and medium crude oil & NGLs), 104% increase from 2024.
  • Achieved NPV BT10 reserve values(1) and Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share of:
    • PDP: $594 million; $14.69/share
    • TP: $1,025 million; $30.16/share
    • TPP: $1,411 million; $44.02/share
  • Reserves life index (“RLI”)(2) of:
    • PDP: 7.0 years
    • TP: 13.2 years
    • TPP: 17.4 years
  • Delivered Finding, Development and Acquisition (“FD&A”) costs (including changes in future development costs) and recycle ratios(3) of:
    • PDP: $9.22/boe; 2.5x
    • TP: $12.96/boe; 1.8x
    • TPP: $10.65/boe; 2.2x
  • Replaced reserves(4) by:
    • PDP: 595%
    • TP: 857%
    • TPP: 1,084%
  • 2025 development capital program (excluding acquisitions) added new light oil weighted production at a capital efficiency of $21,333 per boe/d

2026 Subsequent Event:

In February, InPlay closed an oversubscribed offering of senior unsecured bonds for total gross proceeds of C$242 million maturing on December 15, 2030 at an attractive interest rate of 6.23%. This bond is expected to reduce our cost of capital while diversifying the Company’s financing sources.  Following the bond issuance, InPlay repaid and retired its term loan. The Company is now positioned with $190 million of available capacity on its fully undrawn revolving credit facility. Additionally, InPlay successfully mitigated exposure to fluctuations in the CAD/NIS exchange rate associated with the NIS-denominated senior unsecured bonds through the execution of foreign exchange hedging arrangements that fully cover all projected cash outflows, including principal repayments, over the next four years.

Financial and Operating Results:

2025 Financial & Operations Overview: 

Our 2025 results are highlighted by our accretive acquisition of Pembina assets in April 2025, disciplined capital allocation and delivery of strong returns to shareholders. The acquisition was financed with an increase to our credit facilities, issuance of common shares and an oversubscribed $33.8 million bought deal equity financing.

We executed our capital program under budget, generated meaningful adjusted funds flow, returned $27.1 million to shareholders and paid down $35 million of net debt from closing of the Pembina acquisition on April 7, 2025. Production averaged 17,043 boe/d(1) (61% light crude oil & NGLs) in 2025 and 19,589 boe/d (61% light crude oil & NGLs) in the fourth quarter of 2025.

InPlay’s capital program for 2025 consisted of $52 million of exploration and development capital. Efficient operational execution in 2025 led to capital expenditures coming in $1 million below the low end of our May post-acquisition budget of $53 – $60 million and approximately 17% less than 2024 when production averaged 8,712 boe/d. The Company drilled, completed and brought on production ten (8.2 net) extended reach horizontal (“ERH”) Cardium wells during the year and completed a significant operated gas plant expansion and other facility projects. InPlay also spent $4.2 million on the successful abandonment of 31 wellbores, 90 pipelines and the reclamation of 32 well sites.

InPlay generated AFF of $114.4 million ($4.68 per basic share) during 2025 a 67% increase from 2024. These results were achieved despite a 14% decline in WTI pricing and lower than forecasted natural gas prices. Approximately $62 million in FAFF was generated resulting in a FAFF yield of 18%, evidencing our strong ability to generate meaningful FAFF.

Low crude oil prices during the year impacted the Company’s financial results with WTI decreasing 14% compared to 2024. This resulted in a 16% decrease from 2024 to our realized oil sales price, which was partially offset by realized hedging gains in the later part of the year. Significantly lower natural gas prices also impacted financial results offset with meaningful hedging gains realized throughout the year.

Operations Update:

In 2025, InPlay had one of our strongest drilling campaigns in the Company’s history. In the fourth quarter of 2025, InPlay continued its operational momentum by bringing on production five (5.0 net) operated wells. On average, the five wells delivered initial production (“IP”) rates of 429 boe/d (72% light crude oil and NGLs) per well over their first 90 days of production, approximately 66% above internal forecasts. The Company’s 2025 drilling program for the second half of 2025 continues to generate substantial returns for the Company through strong IP rates.

InPlay’s capital program for 2026 is underway with two (2.0 net) ERH wells being drilled to date which have recently come on production and are in the early cleanup stage. InPlay has also started drilling operations on a three (3.0 net) ERH well-pad which is expected to come on-line at the end of March. Approximately 7 – 9 net horizontal wells are planned for the remainder of the year, with most of the capital spend and production coming on-line from these wells in the second half of 2026.

Corporate Reserves Information:

The following summarizes certain information contained in the Reserve Report. The Reserve Report was prepared in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in the COGE Handbook and National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”). Additional reserve information as required under NI 51-101 will be included in the Company’s Annual Information Form (“AIF”) which will be filed on SEDAR+ by the end of March 2026.

Net Present Values of Reserves:

InPlay achieved strong before tax estimated net present values (“NPV”) of future net revenues associated with our 2025 year-end reserves discounted at 10% (“NPV BT10”), although impacted by weaker future commodity prices in comparison to December 31, 2024 (refer to table below). The Company achieved NPV BT10 reserve values of $594 million (PDP), $1,025 million (TP) and $1,411 million (TPP) based on the three independent reserve evaluator average pricing, cost forecast and foreign exchange rates as at December 31, 2025 used in the Reserve Report. Commodity price decreases in the 2025 year-end reserve report compared to 2024 were as follows:

Future Development Costs (“FDCs”):

The following FDCs are included in the 2025 Reserve Report:

The $862 million of total FDC in the Total Proved and Probable Reserve Report generates approximately $710 million in future net present value discounted at 10%.

Performance Measures:

Pricing Assumptions:

The following tables set forth the benchmark reference prices, as at December 31, 2025, reflected in the Reserve Report. These price and cost assumptions were an arithmetic average of the price forecasts of three independent reserve evaluator’s (Sproule, McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. and GLJ Ltd.) then current forecast and GLJ’s foreign exchange rate forecast at the effective date of the Reserve Report.

² The financial information presented for the comparative periods of 2024 may not reconcile exactly with the amounts previously published for those periods. This is due to the reclassification of the Impairment loss on loan receivables from Royal Ark to the Share of loss of equity-accounted associates line.

Fourth quarter 2025 financial performance

In the fourth quarter of 2025 our revenue decreased by $8 million (or 8%) year-over-year and amounted to $90 million, reflecting a decline in recognition of revenue from both current-period and prior-period bookings. This was mainly due to declining consumer spending levels in the current and preceding years, which reduced the amount of revenue recognized during the quarter. The decrease is consistent with our strategy to pursue more disciplined marketing spending and focus on attracting higher-quality, better-paying users rather than maximizing short-term volume.

Platform commissions decreased by $3 million (or 13%) in the fourth quarter of 2025 to reach $18 million, generally proportionate to the decrease in revenues.

Game operation cost increased by $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and amounted to $15 million, mainly driven by an increase in investments in our IT infrastructure.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, amounting to $35 million. This decrease was driven by our continued focus on improving the efficiency of user acquisition activities. The decrease reflects a more selective approach to performance marketing, prioritizing channels that attract players with higher long-term value over broadscale campaigns aimed at short-term growth.

General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable at $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 vs. $8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

We recorded a profit for the period, net of tax, of $14 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared with $2 million in the same period of 2024, driven primarily by the factors above and i.) decrease of net financial expenses in Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024 in the amount of $3 million and ii.) decrease of share of loss of equity accounted associates by $6 million in Q4 2025 as compared with the same period of prior year. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $6 million compared with the same period in 2024 driven primarily by the same factors as those affecting the profit, except for the decrease of share of loss of equity accounted associates, which does not impact Adjusted EBITDA.

Cash flows generated from operating activities were positive $18 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared with positive $5 million in the same period in 2024.

Twelve months 2025 financial performance

In the year ended December 31, 2025, our revenue decreased by $17 million (or 4%) year-over-year and amounted to $404 million, reflecting a decline in recognition of revenue from both current-period and prior-period bookings. This was mainly due to declining consumer spending levels in the current and preceding years, which reduced the amount of revenue recognized during the year. The decrease is consistent with our strategy to pursue more disciplined marketing spending and focus on attracting higher-quality, better-paying users rather than maximizing short-term volume.

Platform commissions decreased by $7 million (or 7%) in the year ended December 31, 2025 to reach $85 million, generally proportionate to the decrease in revenues.

Game operation cost increased by $6 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 and amounted to $57 million, mainly driven by an increase in investments in our IT infrastructure.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $50 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, amounting to $159 million. This decrease was driven by our continued focus on improving the efficiency of user acquisition activities. The decrease reflects a more selective approach to performance marketing, prioritizing channels that attract players with higher long-term value over broadscale campaigns aimed at short-term growth.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 and amounted to $35 million vs. $32 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher salary and related personnel expenses, reflecting the expansion of development activities and increased scale of operations across our game development studios.

We recorded a profit for the period, net of tax, of $69 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared with $26 million in the same period of 2024, driven primarily by the factors above and i.) decrease of net financial expenses in the year ended December 31 2025 vs the same period in 2024 in the amount of $7 million, ii.) increase in gain resulted from the change in fair value of share warrant obligation and other financial instruments by $3 million in the year ended December 31 2025 as compared with the same period of prior year and iii.) decrease of share of loss of equity accounted associates by $4 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared with the same period of prior year. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $79 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase $37 million compared with the same period in 2024 driven primarily by the same factors as those affecting the profit, except for the increase in gain resulted from the change in fair value of share warrant obligation and other financial instruments and the decrease of share of loss of equity accounted associates, which do not impact Adjusted EBITDA.

Cash flows generated from operating activities remained the same, at $29 million, in the year ended December 31, 2025 vs. the same period of 2024. The divergence in earnings and cash flow dynamics reflects the significant impact of deferred revenue recognition on current-period income, which did not have a material effect on current-period cash flows.

MPU (thousand)262292(10%)281342(18%)
ABPPU ($)1061024%98927%

Bookings declined in the fourth quarter and twelve months of 2025 to reach $88 million and $351 million, respectively, compared with $94 million and $404 million in the same period in 2024. The decline is primarily due to a decline in monthly paying users by 10% in the fourth quarter of 2025 vs. the same period in 2024 and by 18% in the year ended December 31, 2025 vs. the same period in 2024, which we attribute to the decrease of the user acquisition investments throughout 2024 and 2025, partially offset by an increase in ABPPU.

The share of advertisement sales as a percentage of total bookings decreased in the fourth quarter of 2025 to reach 5.1% compared to 5.8% in the same respective period in 2024 and decreased in the year ended December 31, 2025 to reach 5.7% compared to 6.7% in the same period in 2024. This decline was primarily driven by a global trend of declining CPM rates for advertising throughout 2024 and 2025.

Presentation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with IFRS throughout this press release, the Company has provided the non-IFRS financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA” (the “Non-IFRS Financial Measure”).

The Company uses this Non-IFRS Financial Measure for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors. The Company believes that this Non-IFRS Financial Measure is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business. This Non-IFRS Financial Measure is not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with IFRS. The use of the Non-IFRS Financial Measure terms may differ from similar measures reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures.

NN (NNBR) – First Look: 4Q25 and Full Year 2025 Results

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com


Thursday, March 05, 2026

Joe Gomes, CFA, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Generalist , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Overview. For the full year 2025, NN delivered a third consecutive year of improved financial performance, although 4Q25 results were modestly below our expectations. Importantly, NN completed the most capital-intensive portion of its transformation plan that included plant closures, significant headcount realignment, and exiting dilutive business. As a result, NN enters 2026 as a healthier, leaner, and more focused company, performing on multiple fronts, which should result in the next chapter of net sales growth.

4Q25 Results. Sales in 4Q25 were $104.7 million, down 1.7% y-o-y, primarily due to rationalization of underperforming business and plants and lower volumes. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $12.9 million, or 12.3% of sales, compared to $12.1 million, or 11.3% of sales, for the same period of 2024. Adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, in 4Q24. We had estimated $107.5 million, $14.5 million, and $0.04, respectively.

First Phosphate Corp. (FRSPF) – Gaining Government Support and Commercial Momentum

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Hans Baldau, Associate Analyst, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Canadian government steps up with financial support. First Phosphate received conditional approval for up to C$16.7 million in non-repayable funding through Natural Resources Canada under the Global Partnerships Initiative. The contribution will fund the assessment of technical and engineering parameters, including processing circuits and equipment, needed to validate the company’s ability to produce battery-grade phosphate concentrate aligned with its definitive offtake agreement. The funding supports study activities through 2028. First Phosphate received US$523,017 under a long-term phosphate concentrate offtake agreement, reinforcing commercial validation and establishing initial cash flow tied to downstream demand.

Phosphate added to Canada’s critical minerals list. The Canadian federal government amended the 2025 budget to include phosphate as a critical mineral essential for clean technology. This designation makes First Phosphate eligible for the 30% Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC) and the 30% Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit (CTM). The CMETC enhances the company’s ability to raise exploration capital, while the CTM offers the potential to materially reduce downstream capital intensity for the planned phosphoric acid and LFP cathode active material facilities.

USA Rare Earth to Acquire Texas Mineral Resources in Strategic Move to Consolidate Round Top Project

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

USA Rare Earth (NASDAQ: USAR) announced a definitive agreement to acquire Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (OTCQB: TMRC) in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $73 million, a deal that would consolidate ownership of one of the most significant rare earth deposits in the United States. The transaction centers on the Round Top Heavy Rare Earth and Critical Minerals Project in West Texas, a large domestic resource that has drawn increasing attention amid global efforts to secure critical mineral supply chains.

Texas Mineral Resources currently holds an approximately 19% minority interest in the Round Top project, while USA Rare Earth operates the development through a joint venture structure. By acquiring Texas Mineral Resources, USA Rare Earth would effectively gain full ownership of the project, simplifying governance and aligning development strategy under a single operator. The companies said the transaction will be completed through the issuance of roughly 3.8 million shares of USA Rare Earth common stock to TMRC shareholders, with closing expected by the third quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder approval and customary closing conditions.

The Round Top deposit, located in Hudspeth County, Texas, roughly 85 miles southeast of El Paso, is considered one of the largest known deposits of heavy rare earth elements in North America. Heavy rare earths such as dysprosium and terbium are essential inputs for high-performance permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, defense technologies, robotics, and advanced electronics. As global demand for these materials continues to grow, governments and manufacturers have increasingly focused on developing domestic supply chains to reduce dependence on overseas processing and mining capacity.

USA Rare Earth has positioned Round Top as the cornerstone of its broader “mine-to-magnet” strategy, which aims to vertically integrate rare earth mining, processing, metal production, and magnet manufacturing within the United States. The company is advancing development of the deposit under an accelerated mining plan and has previously indicated that commercial production could begin later in the decade. At full scale, the operation is expected to process tens of thousands of metric tons of mineral feedstock per day by 2030, supporting the growing demand for critical materials used across high-technology and clean-energy industries.

The Round Top project also carries broader economic and strategic implications. Rare earth elements are widely considered critical to national security and advanced manufacturing, and the United States has prioritized domestic production after decades of reliance on foreign suppliers. China currently dominates global rare earth refining capacity, creating supply chain vulnerabilities that policymakers have increasingly sought to address through investment, policy initiatives, and support for domestic mining projects.

The consolidation of Round Top under a single owner may streamline project financing, engineering development, and permitting processes as the project moves toward the construction phase. USA Rare Earth has previously engaged engineering and infrastructure partners to support feasibility work and project planning tied to the future development of the mine and associated processing facilities.

For investors watching the rare earth and critical minerals sector, the acquisition underscores a broader trend of consolidation and vertical integration as companies seek to control strategic resources and build domestic supply chains. As demand for rare earth elements continues to expand across electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and advanced electronics, projects like Round Top remain central to the evolving landscape of U.S. critical mineral development.

Hiring Rebounds in February—But the Details Tell a More Complicated Labor Story

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

U.S. private employers added 63,000 jobs in February, marking the strongest monthly gain since July and coming in ahead of economist expectations for roughly 50,000 new roles. The figures, released by payroll processor ADP, suggest the labor market may be regaining some footing after a sluggish start to the year.

Still, a closer look at the report reveals a labor market that remains uneven beneath the surface.

January’s already weak employment reading was revised downward to just 11,000 jobs added, underscoring the fragile hiring environment that characterized much of 2025. February’s improvement, while notable, was driven by only a handful of sectors rather than broad-based hiring across the economy.

Healthcare and education services led the way, adding 58,000 positions, reflecting steady structural demand tied to demographic trends and an aging U.S. population. Construction also contributed meaningfully with 19,000 new jobs, a gain some economists link to ongoing infrastructure activity and continued investment in data-center development tied to AI and cloud expansion.

But strength in those areas masked emerging weakness elsewhere.

Professional and business services—one of the largest white-collar employment categories—shed 30,000 jobs during the month. The sector includes consulting, accounting, marketing, legal services, and administrative roles, making the decline notable for the broader knowledge-economy workforce.

Manufacturing and certain business service segments also experienced job losses, highlighting the uneven distribution of hiring demand across the economy.

In fact, the wage premium for workers switching employers fell to a record low in February, a signal that labor market mobility may be slowing. Historically, job-changers have been able to command meaningfully higher pay increases than employees staying with their current companies.

ADP reported that annual pay growth for workers staying in their roles rose 4.5%, while job changers saw a median pay increase of 6.3%—a gap that has narrowed significantly compared with earlier years of the post-pandemic labor boom.

The report arrives amid continued headlines about layoffs across parts of the corporate landscape. Companies including Block, Whirlpool, and eBay have recently announced workforce reductions, in some cases tied to restructuring initiatives or technological shifts such as artificial intelligence adoption.

For investors, the mixed signals in the ADP report reinforce a theme that has defined the labor market over the past year: slow hiring paired with relatively low layoffs. Employers appear cautious about expanding headcount aggressively, but they also remain reluctant to shed workers after the labor shortages experienced earlier in the decade.

The market will receive a more comprehensive picture of the employment landscape when the U.S. Labor Department releases its official February jobs report later this week. Historically, ADP data does not always align perfectly with the government’s figures, but it often provides an early directional signal.

For now, February’s numbers point to a labor market that may be stabilizing—but one still marked by sector divergence and cooling worker bargaining power.

Commercial & Strategic Highlights

  • Third consecutive year of achieving or beating target rate of new business wins, with approximately $70 million secured in 2025, exceeding guidance range, and bringing the three-year cumulative total to more than $200 million
    • New wins are accretive to consolidated margin profile
    • NN is achieving a >20% hit rate on new business opportunities
  • NN has won more than 170 new sales program awards which have launched during 2025 or will launch in 2026

    • During 2025, NN significantly upsized the business development team for electrical products
  • NN formed a Strategic Committee of the Board of Directors in December 2025 to evaluate a range of strategic and financing alternatives to enhance shareholder value.

“NN delivered a third consecutive year of improved financial performance in 2025, and we look ahead to 2026 with increased confidence in our trajectory for sales, margins, and adjusted EBITDA,” said Harold Bevis, Chief Executive Officer of NN, Inc. “In 2025 we drove adjusted EBITDA towards recent highs despite softness in automotive and commercial vehicle markets and record high precious metal prices. Importantly, we completed the most capital-intensive portion of our transformation plan that included plant closures, significant headcount realignment, and exiting dilutive business. As a result, NN enters 2026 as a healthier, leaner, and more focused company, performing on multiple fronts, while beginning our next chapter of net sales growth.”

Bevis continued, “We expect 2026 to be a meaningful inflection point, and we are guiding to a fourth consecutive year of improved adjusted EBITDA which we expect to range between $50 million to $60 million. Our forecasted sales growth is already underway in the first quarter of 2026, and we plan to launch approximately 100 new programs in 2026. These new programs carry accretive margins that will strengthen our EBITDA and cash flow profile as they ramp. Critically, the success of our new wins program, our planned launches, and more stable markets will return NN’s annual net sales growth. We expect real commercial momentum, and we are also increasing our goals for new business wins for the year to a range of $70 million to $80 million.”

Bevis concluded, “The progress we have made and the momentum we are carrying into 2026 and beyond gives us increasing confidence in NN’s forward net sales trajectory. Our business mix continues to shift toward higher-growth, higher-margin markets including data center power, electrical grid infrastructure, defense, and medical, and we recently secured our first direct data center win. We believe the combination of our operational transformation and accelerating sales growth positions NN to deliver meaningful and sustained value creation for shareholders both in 2026 and in the years ahead.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Net sales were $104.7 million, a decrease of 1.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 net sales of $106.5 million, which was primarily due to rationalization of underperforming business and plants and lower volumes partially offset by favorable foreign exchange impact of $2.1 million.

Loss from operations for the fourth quarter was $10.4 million compared to a loss from operations of $16.9 million for the same period of 2024. The year-over-year improvement was due to rationalization of underperforming business and plants, impairment of machinery and equipment recorded in 2024 at a plant that closed in 2025, and lower compensation expense due to decreased headcount.

Net loss for the fourth quarter was $12.5 million compared to net loss of $21.0 million for the same period in 2024. The year-over-year improvement was due to rationalization of underperforming business and plants, impairment of machinery and equipment recorded in 2024 at a plant that closed in 2025, and lower compensation expense due to decreased headcount.

Full-Year Results

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $422.2 million compared to $464.3 million for the same period of 2024, a decrease of $42.1 million, or 9.1%. This was primarily due to the rationalization of underperforming business and plants, the sale of our Lubbock operations, lower volumes, and unfavorable foreign exchange effects of $0.6 million. These decreases were partially offset by the contribution of new business launches and higher precious metals pass-through pricing. Power Solutions sales were up while Mobile Solutions sales were down primarily due to a decline in low-margin auto parts business.

Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $18.9 million compared to a loss from operations of $27.5 million for the same period of 2024. The year-over-year improvement was due to rationalization of underperforming business and plants, impairment of machinery and equipment recorded in 2024 at a plant that closed in 2025, decrease in depreciation due to the impact of historical purchase accounting step-up basis being fully depreciated in the second half of 2024, and lower compensation expense due to decreased headcount. The improvement is partially offset by lower volumes.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $34.0 million compared to net loss of $38.3 million for the same period of 2024. The year-over-year improvement was primarily due to our improvement in loss from operations. The improvement is partially offset by loss on extinguishment of debt in 2025.

Fourth Quarter Adjusted Results

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $12.9 million, or 12.3% of sales, compared to $12.1 million, or 11.3% of sales, for the same period of 2024. Adjusted income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $3.3 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $2.4 million for the same period of 2024.

Adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the same period of 2024.

Power Solutions

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $45.5 million compared to $39.2 million in the same period in 2024, an increase of 16.1%. The increase was primarily due to steady volumes, higher precious metals pass-through pricing and favorable foreign exchange effects.

Loss from operations for the fourth quarter was $3.9 million compared to income from operations of $1.3 million for the same period of 2024.

Adjusted income from operations for the fourth quarter was $4.9 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $4.6 million for the same period of 2024. The increase in adjusted income from operations was primarily due to lower administrative costs.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $178.6 million compared to $180.5 million for the same period of 2024, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 1.1%. This was primarily due to the sale of our Lubbock operations, lower volumes and unfavorable foreign exchange effects of $0.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher precious metals pass-through pricing.

Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $10.3 million compared to income from operations of $13.1 million for the same period of 2024, a decrease of $2.8 million. This was primarily due to the sale of our Lubbock operations and lower volumes. The decrease is partially offset by lower administrative costs and lower depreciation and amortization expense due to sold or fully utilized assets.

Adjusted income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $26.9 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $24.7 million for the same period in 2024.

Mobile Solutions

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $59.3 million compared to $67.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 12.0%. The decrease was primarily driven by rationalization of underperforming business and plants and lower volumes and partially offset by favorable foreign exchange impact.

Loss from operations for the fourth quarter was $1.4 million compared to loss from operations of $12.9 million for the same period of 2024. The improvement was primarily driven by rationalization of underperforming business and plants, impairment of machinery and equipment recorded in 2024 at a plant that closed in 2025, and lower compensation expense due to decreased headcount.

Adjusted income from operations for the fourth quarter was $3.1 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $2.5 million for the same period of 2024. The increase in adjusted income from operations was primarily due to the rationalization of underperforming business and plants.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $244.0 million compared to $283.9 million for the same period of 2024, a decrease of $39.9 million, or 14.1%. This was primarily due to rationalization of underperforming business and plants, lower volume in North America, and partially offset by favorable foreign exchange effects.

Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $8.0 million compared to loss from operations of $18.1 million for the same period of 2024. The improvement was primarily driven by rationalization of underperforming business and plants, impairment of machinery and equipment recorded in 2024 at a plant that closed in 2025, lower depreciation expense due to the impact of historical purchase accounting step-up becoming fully depreciated in the second half of 2024, and lower compensation expense due to decreased headcount.

Adjusted income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $7.3 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $1.5 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to rationalization of underperforming business and plants and lower depreciation expense due to the impact of historical purchase accounting step-up becoming fully depreciated in the second half of 2024.

2026 Outlook

  • Revenues are expected to range between $445 to $465 million with modest organic growth coupled with new business launches, values may vary based on metals cost
  • Adjusted EBITDA expected to range between $50 and $60 million with modest operating leverage
  • New business wins are expected to increase to $70 to $80 million

Chris Bohnert, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer commented, “For fiscal 2026, we are guiding net sales in the range of $445 million to $465 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $50 million to $60 million, reflecting a return to year-over-year net sales growth, and a notable expansion versus prior year. Importantly, this top-line growth will flow through a cost structure that has been fundamentally improved over the course of our transformation. The resulting operating performance is expected to drive adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion.”

Conference Call

NN will discuss its results during its quarterly investor conference call on March 5, 2026, at 9 a.m. ET. The call and supplemental presentation may be accessed via NN’s website, www.nninc.com. The conference call can also be accessed by dialing 1-877-255-4315 or 1-412-317-6579. For those who are unavailable to listen to the live broadcast, a replay will be available shortly after the call until March 6, 2027.

NN discloses in this press release the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, and free cash flow. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides supplementary information about the impacts of restructuring and integration expense, acquisition and transition expenses, foreign exchange impacts on inter-company loans, amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, and other non-operating impacts on our business.

The financial tables found later in this press release include a reconciliation of adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, free cash flow to the U.S. GAAP financial measures of income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), net income (loss) per diluted common share, and cash provided (used) by operating activities.

The Company is unable to include a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort due to the high variability with respect to the impact of items such as income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other items that are excluded from this non-GAAP measure.
