PDF Version

MALVERN, Pa., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ocugen, Inc. (“Ocugen”) (NASDAQ: OCGN) today announced the pricing of $115 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 (the “notes”) in a private offering (the “offering”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Ocugen also granted the initial purchaser of the notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. The sale of the notes to the initial purchaser is expected to close on May 7, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to result in approximately $99.5 million (or approximately $112.6 million if the initial purchaser exercises its option to purchase additional notes in full) in net proceeds to Ocugen after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Ocugen.

The offering price of the notes is 90% of the principal amount of notes. Ocugen intends to use approximately $32.7 million of the net proceeds from the offering to fully repay the outstanding principal amount of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the loan outstanding under its Loan and Security Agreement with affiliates of Avenue Capital Group (the “Avenue Loan Agreement”), and pay the related prepayment fee and other fees and expenses in connection therewith. Ocugen expects to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering, including any additional proceeds from the initial purchaser’s exercise of its option to purchase additional notes, for general corporate purposes.

The notes will be Ocugen’s general unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to all of its future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, equal in right of payment to all of its existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, and junior to all of its secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2026. The notes will mature on May 15, 2034, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

Ocugen may not redeem the notes prior to May 15, 2029. Ocugen may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes (subject to certain limitations), at its option, on or after May 15, 2029 and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of Ocugen’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Ocugen provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Holders of the notes may require Ocugen to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes on May 15, 2032 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding May 15, 2032. In addition, holders of the notes will have the right to require Ocugen to repurchase all or a portion of their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant fundamental change repurchase date.

The notes may not be converted prior to the earlier of (i) May 15, 2027 and (ii) the “reserved share effective date” (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), which is effectively the date on which Ocugen reserves the maximum number of shares of common stock underlying the notes. The notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 372.7866 shares of Ocugen’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $2.68 per share, which represents a conversion premium of approximately 45% to the last reported sale price of $1.85 per share of Ocugen’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on May 4, 2026). Conversions of the notes may be settled in cash, shares of Ocugen’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at Ocugen’s election; provided that unless and until the reserved share effective date occurs, conversions of the notes will be settled via cash settlement.

The notes were only offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the notes nor the shares of Ocugen’s common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, have been, or will be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated use of proceeds from the offering, including the repayment of the Avenue Loan Agreement; the completion of the offering, and other statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts. Ocugen may, in some cases, use terms such as “predicts,” “believes,” “potential,” “proposed,” “continue,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “might,” “will,” “should,” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to numerous important factors, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from Ocugen’s current expectations, including, but not limited to: risks related to the offering and uncertainties related to market conditions; the impact of the offering on the market price of Ocugen’s common stock; and risks related to the potential dilution to holders of Ocugen’s common stock. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Ocugen’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the risk factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the quarterly and annual reports that Ocugen files with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements that Ocugen makes in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, Ocugen assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this press release whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, after the date of this press release.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) reported consolidated revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 of $430.9 million compared to consolidated revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 of $408.2 million. Consolidated net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $40.2 million compared to consolidated net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 of $26.0 million. Finally, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $44.6 million compared to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 of $37.7 million.

SelectQuote Chief Executive Officer Tim Danker remarked, “SelectQuote delivered consistent profit and cash flow for another quarter, despite market shifts for both Medicare Advantage and prescription drugs. We reaffirm our financial outlook for fiscal 2026 driven by operating execution by our agents and continued leverage of our information and technology advantages. Revenue to customer acquisition cost of 6.7X represented a high water mark for the company, and more importantly, signals the value our differentiated healthcare service model provides to policyholders and prescription drug customers.”

Mr. Danker continued, “Our goal to drive reliable and consistent profit, and cash flow growth remains priority number one. We believe the improvement to our capital structure to date, combined with the continued maturation of our SelectRx business, positions SelectQuote to materially expand cash flow in the years ahead. We continue to grow our receivables balance, which now stands at nearly $1 billion and grew by nearly $50 million over the past year, including a $14 million positive change in estimate reflective of the durability and dependability of these future cash flows.”

* See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Segment Results

We currently have three reportable segments: 1) Senior, 2) Healthcare Services and 3) Life. The performance measures of the segments include total revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Costs of commissions and other services revenue, cost of goods sold-pharmacy revenue, marketing and advertising, selling, general, and administrative, and technical development operating expenses that are directly attributable to a segment are reported within the applicable segment. Indirect costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, selling, general, and administrative, and technical development operating expenses are allocated to each segment based on varying metrics such as headcount.

Senior

Financial Results

The following table provides the financial results for the Senior segment for the periods presented:

Operating Metrics

Submitted Policies

Submitted policies are counted when an individual completes an application with our licensed agent and provides authorization to the agent to submit the application to the insurance carrier partner. The applicant may have additional actions to take before the application will be reviewed by the insurance carrier.

The following table shows the number of submitted policies for the periods presented:

Approved Policies

Approved policies represents the number of submitted policies that were approved by our insurance carrier partners for the identified product during the indicated period. Not all approved policies will go in force.

The following table shows the number of approved policies for the periods presented:

Lifetime Value of Commissions per Approved Policy

Lifetime value of commissions per approved policy represents commissions estimated to be collected over the estimated life of an approved policy based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, carrier mix and expected policy persistency with applied constraints. The lifetime value of commissions per approved policy is equal to the sum of the commission revenue due upon the initial sale of a policy, and when applicable, an estimate of future renewal commissions.

The following table shows the lifetime value of commissions per approved policy for the periods presented:

Healthcare Services

Financial Results

The following table provides the financial results for the Healthcare Services segment for the periods presented:

Operating Metrics

Members

The total number of SelectRx members represents the amount of active customers to which an order has been shipped and the prescriptions per day represents the total average prescriptions shipped per business day. These two metrics are the primary drivers of revenue for Healthcare Services.

The following table shows the total number of SelectRx members as of the periods presented:

The total number of SelectRx members increased by 11% as of March 31, 2026, compared to March 31, 2025, due to our strategy to grow SelectRx membership.

The following table shows the average prescriptions shipped per day for the periods presented:

Combined Senior and Healthcare Services – Consumer Per Unit Economics

Combined Senior and Healthcare Services consumer per unit economics represents total MA and MS commissions; other product commissions; other revenues, including revenues from Healthcare Services; and operating expenses associated with Senior and Healthcare Services, each shown per number of approved MA and MS policies over a given time period. Management assesses the business on a per-unit basis to help ensure that the revenue opportunity associated with a successful policy sale is attractive relative to the marketing acquisition cost. Because not all acquired leads result in a successful policy sale, all per-policy metrics are based on approved policies, which is the measure that triggers revenue recognition.

The MA and MS commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for policies sold in the period. Other commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for other products sold in the period, including DVH prescription drug plan, and other products, which management views as additional commission revenue on our agents’ core function of MA/MS policy sales. Pharmacy revenue per MA/MS policy represents revenue from SelectRx, and other revenue per MA/MS policy represents revenue from Population Health, production bonuses, marketing development funds, lead generation revenue, and adjustments from the Company’s reassessment of its cohorts’ transaction prices. Total operating expenses per MA/MS policy represents all of the operating expenses within Senior and Healthcare Services. The revenue to customer acquisition cost (“CAC”) multiple represents total revenue as a multiple of total marketing acquisition cost, which represents the direct costs of acquiring leads. These costs are included in marketing and advertising expense within the total operating expenses per MA/MS policy.

The following table shows combined Senior and Healthcare Services consumer per unit economics for the periods presented. Based on the seasonality of Senior and the fluctuations between quarters, we believe that the most relevant view of per unit economics is on a rolling 12-month basis. All per MA/MS policy metrics below are based on the sum of approved MA/MS policies, as both products have similar commission profiles.

Total revenue per MA/MS policy increased 21% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the increase in pharmacy revenue. Total operating expenses per MA/MS policy increased 22% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, driven by an increase in cost of goods sold-pharmacy revenue for Healthcare Services due to the growth of the business.

Life

Financial Results

The following table provides the financial results for the Life segment for the periods presented:

Operating Metrics

Life premium represents the total premium value for all policies that were approved by the relevant insurance carrier partner and for which the policy document was sent to the policyholder and payment information was received by the relevant insurance carrier partner during the indicated period. Because our commissions are earned based on a percentage of total premium, total premium volume for a given period is the key driver of revenue for our Life segment.

The following table shows term and final expense premiums for the periods presented:

Earnings Conference Call

SelectQuote, Inc. will host a conference call with the investment community on May 5, 2026 beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The event will also be webcasted live via our investor relations website https://ir.selectquote.com/investor-home/default.aspx.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our GAAP financial results, we have presented in this release Adjusted EBITDA, which, when presented on a consolidated basis, is a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to any similarly titled measure presented by other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on extinguishment of debt, and certain add-backs for non-cash or non-recurring expenses, including restructuring and share-based compensation expenses. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. We monitor and have presented in this release Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, establish budgets, and develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that excluding the impact of these expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance.

A reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA and its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, is presented below on page 15. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because it is not possible to predict certain information included in the calculation of such GAAP measure, including the fair value of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP financial results.

Forward Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following: our reliance on a limited number of insurance carrier partners and any potential termination of those relationships or failure to develop new relationships; existing and future laws and regulations affecting the health insurance market; changes in health insurance products offered by our insurance carrier partners and the health insurance market generally; insurance carriers offering products and services directly to consumers; changes to commissions paid by insurance carriers and underwriting practices; competition with brokers, exclusively online brokers and carriers who opt to sell policies directly to consumers; competition from government-run health insurance exchanges; developments in the U.S. health insurance system; our dependence on revenue from carriers in our senior segment and downturns in the senior health as well as life, automotive and home insurance industries; our ability to develop new offerings and penetrate new vertical markets; risks from third-party products; failure to enroll individuals during the Medicare annual enrollment period; our ability to attract, integrate and retain qualified personnel; our dependence on lead providers and ability to compete for leads; failure to obtain and/or convert sales leads to actual sales of insurance policies; access to data from consumers and insurance carriers; accuracy of information provided from and to consumers during the insurance shopping process; cost-effective advertisement through internet search engines; ability to contact consumers and market products by telephone; global economic conditions, including inflation; disruption to operations as a result of future acquisitions; significant estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements; impairment of goodwill; potential litigation and other legal proceedings or inquiries; our existing and future indebtedness; our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants; access to additional capital; our ability to regain and maintain compliance with NYSE listing standards; failure to protect our intellectual property and our brand; fluctuations in our financial results caused by seasonality; accuracy and timeliness of commissions reports from insurance carriers; timing of insurance carriers’ approval and payment practices; factors that impact our estimate of the constrained lifetime value of commissions per policyholder; changes in accounting rules, tax legislation and other legislation; disruptions or failures of our technological infrastructure and platform; failure to maintain relationships with third-party service providers; cybersecurity breaches or other attacks involving our systems or those of our insurance carrier partners or third-party service providers; our ability to protect consumer information and other data; failure to market and sell Medicare plans effectively or in compliance with laws; and other factors related to our pharmacy business, including manufacturing or supply chain disruptions, access to and demand for prescription drugs, changes in reimbursement rates under our contracts with pharmacy benefit managers, and regulatory changes or other industry developments that may affect our pharmacy operations. For a further discussion of these and other risk factors that could impact our future results and performance, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) and subsequent periodic reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and, except as otherwise required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Release – FreightCar America, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

FreightCar America

Research News and Market Data on RAIL

05/04/2026

Continued Aftermarket revenue growth of 86% 

Gross profit margin of 17%, with 190 basis points of gross margin expansion

Sequential backlog growth of 14%

CHICAGO, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FreightCar America, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAIL) (“FreightCar America” or the “Company”), a diversified manufacturer and supplier of railroad freight cars, railcar parts and components, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Revenues of $64.3 million, consistent with expectations, compared to $96.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, with railcar deliveries of 577 units compared to 710 units in the prior year period
  • Gross margin of 16.8% with gross profit of $10.8 million, compared to gross margin of 14.9% with gross profit of $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2025
  • Recorded $49.1 million of non-cash adjustments related to warrant liability, resulting in net income of $41.6 million, or $1.15 per share, and adjusted net loss of $479 thousand, or $(0.04) per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $3.2 million, representing a margin of 4.9%, compared to $6.4 million and a margin of 6.7% in the first quarter of 2025
  • Ended the quarter with a backlog of 2,058 units valued at $156 million, reflecting a diversified mix of railcar conversion programs and new railcar builds

“Our first quarter results were in line with expectations and reflective of the current industry environment. Despite this environment, we continue to win high quality commercial opportunities, create new efficiencies and grow our aftermarket parts business. This represents our highest quarterly gross margin in over a decade and demonstrates that we are well positioned across the cycle,” said Nick Randall, President and Chief Executive Officer of FreightCar America. “Fleets continue to age and deferred replacement needs are contributing to pent-up demand across the industry. As replacement demand materializes, FreightCar America is well positioned to respond quickly and capitalize in a shorter lead-time environment, supported by scalable capacity and strong operational flexibility. At the same time, our differentiated full-service railcar offering, including retrofits, conversions and an expanding aftermarket presence, positions us well to drive growth and create value across a range of market conditions.”

Randall continued, “Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined execution against the opportunities we see across our business as the year progresses. Our tank car retrofit program remains on track, and we expect continued growth in our aftermarket program. Together, our total backlog, productivity improvements, flexible manufacturing footprint and disciplined commercial approach provide visibility into our full-year expectations and reinforce our ability to perform across a range of market conditions.”

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

The Company is reaffirming the outlook for fiscal year 2026:

 Fiscal 2026 OutlookYear-over-Year
Change at Midpoint
of Range
Railcar Deliveries4,000 – 4,500 Railcars3.0%
Revenue$500 – $550 million4.8%
Adjusted EBITDA1$41 – $50 million10.4%


1. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying adjustments necessary to calculate such non-GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Material changes to such adjustments, including warrant liability and non-core operating items, could affect future GAAP results.

Mike Riordan, Chief Financial Officer of FreightCar America, added, “During the quarter, we continued to grow our backlog and maintained solid balance sheet flexibility, enabling us to further reduce debt and preserve financial strength. We are well positioned to continue executing on our capital allocation priorities, including targeted organic investments that expand our capabilities and disciplined selective opportunities that strengthen our platform. Looking ahead, we expect these investments to support profitable growth across the business and drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

The Company will host a conference call and live webcast on Tuesday, May 5, at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) to discuss its first quarter 2026 financial results.

Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. Our actual results may differ materially from the results described in or anticipated by our forward-looking statements due to certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties relate to, among other things, the cyclical nature of our business; adverse geopolitical, economic and market conditions, including inflation; material disruption in the movement of rail traffic for deliveries; fluctuating costs of raw materials, including steel and aluminum; delays in the delivery of raw materials; our ability to maintain relationships with our suppliers of railcar components; our reliance upon a small number of customers that represent a large percentage of our sales; the variable purchase patterns of our customers and the timing of completion; delivery and customer acceptance of orders; the highly competitive nature of our industry; the risk of lack of acceptance of our new railcar offerings; potential unexpected changes in laws, rules, and regulatory requirements, including tariffs and trade barriers (including recent United States tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, Canada, Mexico and other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries); and other competitive factors.

(“Ocugen” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: OCGN), a pioneering biotechnology leader in gene therapies for blindness diseases, today announced its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $115 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 (the “notes”) in a private offering (the “offering”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Ocugen also expects to grant the initial purchaser of the notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. The offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.

Ocugen intends to use approximately $32.7 million of the net proceeds from the offering to fully repay the outstanding principal amount of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the loan outstanding under its Loan and Security Agreement with affiliates of Avenue Capital Group and pay the related prepayment fee and other fees and expenses in connection therewith. Ocugen expects to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering, including any additional proceeds from the initial purchaser’s exercise of its option to purchase additional notes, for general corporate purposes.

The notes will be Ocugen’s general unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to all of its future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, equal in right of payment to all of its existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, and junior to all of its secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes may be converted into cash, shares of Ocugen’s common stock or a combination thereof, at Ocugen’s election. The interest rate, conversion rate and other terms of the notes are to be determined upon pricing of the offering.

The notes will only be offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the notes nor the shares of Ocugen’s common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, have been, or will be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, statements regarding the proposed terms of the notes; the anticipated terms of the notes; the size of the offering, including the initial purchaser’s option to purchase additional notes; the anticipated use of proceeds from the offering, including the repayment of the existing loan facility; the completion of the offering, and other statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts. Ocugen may, in some cases, use terms such as “predicts,” “believes,” “potential,” “proposed,” “continue,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “might,” “will,” “should,” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to numerous important factors, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from Ocugen’s current expectations, including, but not limited to: uncertainties related to market conditions and whether the offering will be completed on the anticipated terms or at all; the impact of the offering on the market price of Ocugen’s common stock; risks related to the potential dilution to holders of Ocugen’s common stock; and uncertainties regarding the conversion price and other terms of the notes. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Ocugen’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the risk factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the quarterly and annual reports that Ocugen files with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements that Ocugen makes in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release.

Research News and Market Data on PNPNF

TORONTO, May 4, 2026 /CNW/ – Power Metallic Mines Inc. (the “Company” or “Power Metallic”(TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) is pleased to provide additional assays from its winter 2026 drill program.

Lion Zone MRE Infill Program

Drilling continued to define the high-grade Lion Zone in preparation for a 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The infill drill holes in this release are for holes that cover approximately 200 m of strike length from the middle core of the Lion Zone (PML-26-094) to the western edge (PML-26-104), defining mineralization at a vertical depth of approximately 100 m below surface (Figure 1). These holes will be important for future mineral resource estimates to an Indicated Resource classification, potentially for open pit exploitation.

The 2026 winter drill campaign continues to support the modelled interpretation of the Lion Zone based on earlier wider spaced drilling and includes PML-26-094 which intersected the interpreted core of the Lion Zone and adds further support to wide intersections of high-grade copper near surface with 17.45 m @ 9.47% CuEqRec1 including 6.30 m @ 17.91% CuEqRec1 (Table 1).

Hole PML-26-101 tested the zone approximately 100 m east of PML-26-094 at a slightly deeper vertical depth and contained high grade over a very wide intersection with 39.00 m @ 5.66% CuEqRecincluding 9.20 m @ 15.18% CuEqRec1. A further 100 m west hole PML-26-104 tested the western edge of the Lion Zone and intersected 7.40 m @ 1.07% CuEqRec1 and confirmed the expected mineralization modeled from the wider spaced earlier drilling in this area.

1Copper Equivalent Rec Calculation (CuEqRec1)

CuEqRec represents CuEq calculated based on the following metal prices (USD) : 2,360.15 $/oz Au, 27.98 $/oz Ag, 1,215.00 $/oz Pd, 1000.00 $/oz Pt, 4.00 $/lb Cu, 10.00 $/lb Ni and 22.50 $/lb Co., and recovered grades based on recent locked-cycle metallurgical recoveries by SGS Canada Inc (see press release Jan 21, 2006).

Figure 1 – Lion Drill holes reported in this news release (CNW Group/Power Metallic Mines Inc.)
Figure 1 – Lion Drill holes reported in this news release (CNW Group/Power Metallic Mines Inc.)

Power Metallic is expecting more assay results from the MRE drilling and the regional exploration in the coming days and weeks.

Exploratory Drilling – Between Lion and Tiger

Drill holes PML-26-071, 074, and 078 were designed to test relatively shallow depths to explore for additional zones of mineralization between Lion and Tiger. While none of the holes hit sufficiently wide zones of mineralization, narrow zones included 0.8 meters @ 0.33% Cu, 0.78 g/t Pd, and 0.35 g/t Pt in hole PML-26-074, indicating the mineralizing structures are still present in the Lion to Tiger area.

“The heart of Lion continues to deliver impressive results. Both of these holes would have broken into our top six holes at the Lion Zone. We continue to build towards what we believe will be a very positive Mineral Resource Estimate in third quarter of this year,” commented Terry Lynch, CEO & Director.

Qualified Person

Joseph Campbell, P. Geo, VP Exploration at Power Metallic, is the qualified person who has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.

About Power Metallic Mines Inc.

Power Metallic is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing the Nisk Project Area (Nisk–Lion–Tiger)—a high–grade Copper–PGE, Nickel, gold and silver system—toward Canada’s next polymetallic mine.

On 1 February 2021, Power Metallic (then Chilean Metals) secured an option to earn up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (TSX–V: CRE). Following the June 2025 purchase of 313 adjoining claims (~167 km²) from Li–FT Power, the Company now controls ~330 km² and roughly 50 km of prospective basin margins.

Power Metallic is expanding mineralization at the Nisk and Lion discovery zones, evaluating the Tiger target, and exploring the enlarged land package through successive drill programs.

Beyond the Nisk Project Area, Power Metallic indirectly has an interest in significant land packages in British Columbia and Chile, by its 50% share ownership position in Chilean Metals Inc., which were spun out from Power Metallic via a plan of arrangement on February 3, 2025.

It also owns 100% of Power Metallic Arabia which owns 100% interest in the Jabul Baudan exploration license in The Kingdon of Saudi Arabia’s Jabal Said Belt. The property encompasses over 200 square kilometres in an area recognized for its high prospectivity for copper gold and zinc mineralization. The region is known for its massive volcanic sulfide (VMS) deposits, including the world-class Jabal Sayid mine and the promising Umm and Damad deposit.

Release – ACCO Brands Reports First Quarter Results

Research News and Market Data on ACCO

Apr 30, 2026 4:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time


  • Reported net sales increased 8% to $344 million; above the Company’s outlook
  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.20, reflecting gain on acquisition
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.02, above the Company’s outlook
  • Provides 2Q outlook, reaffirms full-year 2026 outlook
  • Integration of the EPOS acquisition progressing well, with projected full-year sales in line with expectations and synergies on track

LAKE ZURICH, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ACCO) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“We delivered a solid start to the year, with both sales and adjusted EPS coming in above our first quarter outlook. Results reflected better-than-anticipated comparable sales and EPOS outperforming expectations. The integration of EPOS is progressing well and we see meaningful opportunities to expand the brand across our global portfolio,” stated ACCO Brands’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Tedford.

“While the operating environment remains dynamic, we remain confident in our ability to deliver future value creation for our shareholders. We continue to focus on pivoting our portfolio to faster growing technology peripherals, supporting our category leading brands, executing and integrating acquisitions like EPOS, while maintaining strong cost discipline. With $75 million to $85 million in expected free cash flow and resulting leverage of 3.7x to 3.9x, and a clear path to our $100 million cost savings target, we are positioned to deliver improved profitability and cash flows in 2026,” added Mr. Tedford.

First Quarter Results

Net sales were $343.7 million for the first quarter, up 8.3 percent from $317.4 million in 2025. The net sales increase reflects the benefit of positive foreign exchange, the EPOS acquisition, growth in Latin America and in computer accessories in the Americas segment.

Operating loss was $10.4 million for the quarter versus an operating loss of $6.7 million in 2025. Restructuring expense primarily related to EPOS and a litigation settlement totaled $10.7 million, compared to $2.3 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $11.7 million, compared to $6.9 million in 2025. The increase in adjusted operating income reflects cost savings, partially offset by lower organic volumes.

For the first quarter, net income was $19.4 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to a net loss of $13.2 million, or $(0.14) per share, in 2025. Net income was positively impacted by $37.6 million, due to a bargain purchase gain related to our preliminary purchase price allocation from the acquisition of EPOS. Adjusted net income was $1.8 million, compared to adjusted net loss of $2.0 million in 2025, and adjusted earnings per share were $0.02 per share, compared to an adjusted loss per share of $(0.02) in 2025.

Cash Flow, Debt and Dividend

For the quarter, operating cash flow was $3.5 million versus $5.5 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was $1.4 million versus $3.3 million in the prior year. The Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as of March 31, 2026 was 4.1x.

In the quarter, the Company paid dividends of $6.9 million.

On April 24, 2026, ACCO Brands announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend will be paid on June 17, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 22, 2026.

Business Segment Results

ACCO Brands Americas – First quarter segment net sales of $178.5 million increased 2.6 percent from $173.9 million in the prior year. Net sales in the quarter were positively impacted by favorable foreign exchange, the EPOS acquisition, growth in Latin America and computer accessories. Comparable sales were $169.9 million, down 2.3 percent versus prior year. Comparable sales declines reflect reduced demand for office product categories.

First quarter operating income was $3.4 million, compared to $0.9 million a year earlier. Restructuring expense primarily related to EPOS and the multi-year cost reduction program was $2.2 million, compared to $1.8 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $12.8 million, up from $10.0 million in the prior year. The increase in adjusted operating income reflects cost savings, which more than offset unfavorable product mix, as well as lower volume in certain categories.

ACCO Brands International – First quarter segment net sales of $165.2 million increased 15.1 percent from $143.5 million in the prior year, with the increase due to favorable foreign exchange, which increased sales by 9.8 percent and the EPOS acquisition. Comparable sales were $139.5 million, down 2.8 percent versus the prior year. Comparable sales declines reflect reduced demand for office product categories.

First quarter operating income was $2.4 million, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year. Restructuring expense related to EPOS and the multi-year cost reduction program of $4.5 million, compared to $0.5 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $11.1 million, compared with $9.6 million in the prior year. The increase in adjusted operating income primarily reflects cost savings.

Outlook

“The first quarter performance gives us confidence in our full-year outlook. The combination of EPOS, stabilizing demand in several categories and favorable foreign exchange position us for revenue growth in 2026. Our multi-year cost reduction program is on track to deliver $100 million in savings by year-end, and we are positioned to deliver improved profitability, while investing in higher-growth technology peripherals,” concluded Mr. Tedford.

For the full year, the Company continues to expect reported sales to be in the range of flat to up 3.0%. This range anticipates the potential softening in customer demand reflecting the recent macroeconomic uncertainties. Full year adjusted EPS is expected to be within the range of $0.84 to $0.89. The Company expects 2026 free cash flow to be within the range of $75 million to $85 million, with a consolidated leverage ratio within a range of 3.7x to 3.9x.

In the second quarter, the Company expects reported sales to be in the range of up 1.0% to 4.0%, with a reduced foreign exchange impact. Adjusted EPS is projected to be within a range of $0.24 to $0.28.
