Accelerating operational momentum through strategic portfolio actions

Provides outlook and guidance for full year 2025

NEW ALBANY, Ohio, March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

As a result of completing our strategic portfolio actions, the following are reported as discontinued operations: (1) the Industrial Automation segment, and (2) the financial information from the Cab Structures facility that was previously reported in Vehicle Solutions and Aftermarket and Accessories. CVG has three reportable segments for 2024: Vehicle Solutions, Electrical Systems and Aftermarket & Accessories. The results and comparisons presented below reflect continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights (Compared with prior-year period, where comparisons are noted)

  • Revenue of $163.3 million, down 15.7% due primarily to a global softening in Construction and Agriculture customer demand and drop-in Class 8 Heavy Truck builds.
  • Operating loss of $5.3 million, and adjusted operating loss of $4.3 million, down compared to operating income of $4.1 million and adjusted operating income of $5.4 million. The decrease in operating income was driven primarily by lower sales volumes and operational inefficiencies.
  • Net loss from continuing operations of $35.0 million, or $(1.04) per diluted share, compared to net income of $22.6 million, or $0.67 per diluted share. Net loss included a non-cash tax valuation allowance of $28.8 million. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations of $5.1 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $2.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million, down 89.2%, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 0.6%, down from 4.3%.
  • The sale of CVG’s Industrial Automation business closed on October 30, 2024, allowing CVG to focus on its core segments.

Full Year 2024 Highlights (Compared with prior-year period, where comparisons are noted)

  • Revenue of $723.4 million, down 13.4%, driven by a global softening in customer demand and the wind-down of certain programs in our Vehicle Solutions segment.
  • New business wins in excess of $97 million when fully ramped; these wins were concentrated in our Electrical Systems segment, predominantly outside of Construction and Agriculture end markets.
  • Operating loss of $0.8 million, down $40.6 million, and adjusted operating income of $6.5 million, down $35.2 million. The decrease in operating income was due to lower sales volumes and operational inefficiencies.
  • Continued shifting production capacity to new, lower-cost facilities in Morocco and Mexico, in an effort to improve operating leverage.

James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “2024 was a year of meaningful change for CVG. Over the course of the year, we undertook immediate and decisive actions, including the divestitures of non-strategic assets and businesses, and improvement initiatives that we believe position us for future accretive growth. Even in the face of continued external market headwinds, we believe the improvement initiatives executed in 2024 will unlock significant operational efficiencies that we have already started to benefit from in 2025. Additionally, we were pleased to open our new Morocco facility and we continue to ramp up our facility in Aldama, Mexico.”

Mr. Ray continued, “Moving forward, our team is focused on accelerating the operational momentum we’ve built, driving margin accretive growth through a product-focused, operationally efficient enterprise strategy. With a stronger foundation, and as our key end markets stabilize, we expect that we will continue to strengthen the company’s position in the market and deliver value for our stakeholders.”

Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “CVG delivered results consistent with our adjusted full-year guidance ranges, which reflect the Company’s past portfolio and restructuring actions. We anticipate that the benefits from these strategic efforts will become more apparent in 2025 despite notable end market softening and the slower than expected ramp of new business wins. We believe that these organizational improvements, combined with working capital and inventory reductions driving increased cash generation this year, will greatly improve our ability to continue paying down debt. We have implemented a more focused business strategy and continue to streamline our enterprise cost structure. We expect to see EBITDA growth and margin expansion in 2025 which are reflected in our full year 2025 guidance ranges.”

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

  • Fourth quarter 2024 revenues were $163.3 million compared to $193.7 million in the prior year period, a decline of 15.7%. The decrease in revenues is due primarily to lower sales as a result of a softening in customer demand in our Vehicle Solutions and Electrical Systems segments.
  • Operating loss for the fourth quarter 2024 was $5.3 million compared to operating income of $4.1 million in the prior year period. Excluding special costs, the fourth quarter of 2024 adjusted operating loss was $4.3 million, down from adjusted operating income of $5.4 million in 2023. The decline in adjusted operating income was driven primarily by the impact of lower sales volumes, unfavorable mix, and operational inefficiencies.
  • Interest expense was $2.2 million and $2.3 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
  • Net loss from continuing operations was $35.0 million, or $(1.04) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2024 compared to net income of $22.6 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had $50.5 million outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facility, $26.6 million of cash and $84.4 million availability from revolving credit facilities, resulting in total liquidity of $111.0 million.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Segment Results (Compared with prior-year period, where comparisons are noted)

Vehicle Solutions Segment

  • Revenues were $91.4 million compared to $107.1 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 14.7% primarily due to lower sales volume as a result of decreased customer demand and the wind-down of certain programs.
  • Operating income for the fourth quarter 2024 was $1.7 million compared to $3.6 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 52.5%, primarily due to lower customer demand, operational remediation investments, and increased freight costs. The fourth quarter of 2024 adjusted operating income was $2.8 million compared to $4.0 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 30.5%.

Electrical Systems Segment

  • Revenues were $40.3 million compared to $56.2 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 28.3%, primarily resulting from a global softening in the Construction & Agriculture end-markets.
  • Operating loss was $1.7 million compared to operating income of $6.7 million, a decrease of 125.2% primarily attributable to lower sales volumes and unfavorable foreign exchange.

Aftermarket and Accessories Segment

  • Revenues were $31.6 million compared to $30.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 4.0%, primarily resulting from slightly higher customer demand driving increased volumes.
  • Operating income was $3.2 million compared to $3.3 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 4.6%. The decrease in operating income was increased manufacturing costs. The fourth quarter of 2024 adjusted operating income was $3.1 million compared to $3.3 million in the prior year period.

Outlook

CVG is providing the following outlook for the full year 2025:

Metric2025 Outlook ($ millions)
Net Sales$670 – $710
Adjusted EBITDA$25 – $30

This outlook reflects, among others, current industry forecasts for North American Class 8 truck builds. According to ACT Research, 2025 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 316,000 units. The 2024 actual Class 8 truck builds according to the ACT Research was 332,382 units.

Construction and Agriculture end markets are projected to decline approximately 5-10% in 2025. However, we expect contribution from new business wins outside of Construction and Agriculture end markets in Electrical Systems to soften this decline.

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company announced a new organizational structure designed to enhance alignment with its customers and end markets. Under this new structure, CVG will reorganize its vertical business units into the following three operating divisions and reporting segments: Global Electrical Systems, Global Seating, Trim Systems and Components. As part of this realignment, the Company’s Aftermarket & Accessories business unit will be absorbed in these three segments. Its seating and electrical portfolio will transition to Global Seating and Global Electrical Systems, respectively. Its wiper systems will become part of the newly formed Trim Systems and Components business unit in addition to the trim and components businesses from the prior Vehicle Solutions segment. CVG expects this structure to enhance clarity and focus, with each business unit positioned to deliver on its specific strategic and operational objectives.

Zomedica Corp. (ZOM) – Fundamentals Have Been Improving, But Price Weakness Leads To Delisting


Tuesday, March 11, 2025

Robert LeBoyer, Senior Vice President, Equity Research Analyst, Biotechnology, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

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

Recent Price Weakness Forces Move To The OTC Bulletin Board. As the recent decline in the overall markets was affecting companies in many sectors, the closing price of Zomedica stock fell below $0.10 per share on March 3. This crossed a threshold set by the New York American exchange, forcing the delisting of ZOM shares. Zomedica shares began trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol ZOMDF. There were no other events or crisis that caused the delisting.

During 2024, Zomedica Has Met All Of The Product Goals We Expected. Over the past year, Zomedica has introduced several new assays for use with its TRUFORMA diagnostics platform. These assays are sold to veterinary practices for use with TRUFORMA diagnostic instruments, allowing the veterinarian to run tests without sending samples to an outside lab. This allows the diagnosis in a few minutes and allows the practice to capture the profit from the tests. The TRUFORMA assays, reported as diagnostic consumables, have been one of the sources of sales growth over the past year.

AZZ Inc. (AZZ) – Updating Estimates to Reflect AVAIL Transaction


Tuesday, March 11, 2025

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

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

AVAIL joint venture. Through a joint venture, AZZ owns a non-controlling 40% interest in Avail Infrastructure Solutions with the remaining 60% owned by the Fernweh Group LLC. Avail recently executed a definitive agreement to sell its Electrical Products Group to nVent Electric plc (NYSE: NVT) for $975 million, subject to adjustments. The transaction is expected to close during the first half of the 2025 calendar year. AZZ will continue to own a 40% interest in Avail which will consist of its Industrial Lighting and Welding Solutions businesses.

Use of proceeds. AZZ will use its share of the transaction proceeds to further reduce debt or fund potential M&A activity. The gain on the transaction will be treated as a one-time adjustment to net income and EPS. A reduction in the $16 million to $18 million of joint venture equity income included in AZZ’s fiscal year 2026 guidance is expected to be offset by interest savings. While AZZ is not adjusting its fiscal year 2026 earnings guidance, debt reduction will be higher than the range of $140 million to $160 million provided in their guidance.

Sun Pharma to Acquire Checkpoint Therapeutics in $355 Million Deal

Key Points:
– Sun Pharma announced a $355 million acquisition of Checkpoint Therapeutics to expand its oncology portfolio.
-The biotech sector is showing strength, with the IBB ETF up 3.5% year-to-date.
– The acquisition brings FDA-approved cancer treatment UNLOXCYT™ to Sun Pharma’s global portfolio.

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has announced its acquisition of Checkpoint Therapeutics in a $355 million deal aimed at strengthening its presence in the oncology sector. Checkpoint, a commercial-stage biotech company, has developed UNLOXCYT™ (cosibelimab-ipdl), the first and only FDA-approved anti-PD-L1 treatment for metastatic or locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). This acquisition is expected to accelerate global access to this innovative cancer treatment and expand Sun Pharma’s onco-dermatology portfolio.

The broader biotech sector is emerging as a bright spot in an otherwise volatile market. The iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) is up 3.5% year-to-date, reflecting increased investor confidence in the sector’s growth potential. Unlike other areas of the stock market that have struggled amid rising interest rates and economic uncertainty, biotech has benefited from continued innovation, regulatory approvals, and M&A activity.

The deal provides Sun Pharma with immediate access to a groundbreaking cancer treatment, allowing the company to leverage its global footprint to scale distribution. With approximately 1.8 million new cSCC cases diagnosed annually in the U.S. alone, there is a substantial market opportunity for UNLOXCYT™. Sun Pharma expects to enhance Checkpoint’s commercialization efforts and drive greater adoption of the therapy in key markets worldwide.

In addition to the $4.10 per share cash payment, Checkpoint shareholders will receive a contingent value right (CVR) of up to $0.70 per share if UNLOXCYT™ secures approval in major European markets by specific deadlines. This structure incentivizes timely regulatory approvals and ensures continued development efforts.

The Sun Pharma-Checkpoint deal is the latest in a wave of biotech acquisitions, reflecting growing interest from larger pharmaceutical firms seeking to expand their specialty drug pipelines. Given the sector’s recent performance and ongoing medical advancements, further consolidation in biotech could be on the horizon.

For investors, the strong performance of biotech stocks and M&A activity suggest that the sector could be positioned for continued growth. As traditional sectors face headwinds, biotech’s mix of innovation, regulatory catalysts, and strategic acquisitions make it an attractive space to watch.

Investor Notice 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described under “Risk Factors” in Item 3.D of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”). Notwithstanding the fact that Bit Digital Inc. has not conducted operations in the PRC since September 30, 2021 we have previously disclosed under Risk Factors in our Annual Report: “We may be subject to fines and penalties for any noncompliance with or any liabilities in our former business in China in a certain period from now on.” Although the statute of limitations for non-compliance by our former business in the PRC is generally two years and the Company has been out of the PRC, for more than two years, the Authority may still find its prior bitcoin mining operations involved a threat to financial security. In such event, the two-year period would be extended to five years. If any material risk was to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. Future changes in the network-wide mining difficulty rate or bitcoin hash rate may also materially affect the future performance of Bit Digital’s production of bitcoin. Actual operating results will vary depending on many factors including network difficulty rate, total hash rate of the network, the operations of our facilities, the status of our miners, and other factors. See “Safe Harbor Statement” below.

Safe Harbor Statement 

This press release may contain certain “forward-looking statements” relating to the business of Bit Digital, Inc., and its subsidiary companies. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included herein are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” or similar expressions, involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in the Company’s periodic reports that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website at http://www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these factors. Other than as required under the securities laws, the Company does not assume a duty to update these forward-looking statements.

Kratos OpenEdge 2500 digitizer reaches important milestone in advancing satellite network equipment interoperability

SAN DIEGO, March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a technology company in Defense, National Security and Global Markets, announced today that its OpenEdge 2500 integration-ready digitizer, part of its OpenSpace® family of dynamic ground system products, has achieved official DIFI compliance, one of the first two products in the industry to obtain the recognized status.

Working under the auspices of the IEEE, the Digital IF Interoperability Consortium (DIFI) is an independent, international group of companies, organizations, and government agencies that have an interest in the interoperability of satellite ground system equipment. The DIFI Digital IF/RF Standard is intended to accelerate industry transformation beyond stove-piped, hardware-based systems and into digital software-defined networks. Adoption of this standard means network operators can choose the best of breed products with standards-based digitization.

Kratos’ OpenEdge 2500 helps satellite antenna makers digitally enable their products by converting radio frequency (RF) signals into Internet protocol (IP) data streams. The DIFI compliant digital signal is easily incorporated for use into modern software-defined communications networks. The digitizer can be embedded within any antenna, terminal or Universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE). Kratos digitizers are a key component in modern, software-defined ground systems because they are the bridge to digital transformation and the first step towards successfully leveraging IP networking and cloud adoption.

“Kratos continues to lead the industry in building interoperable, standards-based products that bring satellite networks into the mainstream of global communications infrastructure,” said Kevin Tobias, Director of Product Management at Kratos. “Kratos is the first and only company delivering a commercially available, software-defined and orchestrated satellite ground system platform. The OpenEdge 2500 serves as an on-ramp for converting analog satellite data and communications streams for operations and management in digital and cloud environments. Kratos’ commitment to building standards-based interoperable products supports a digital future that delivers more flexible, streamlined and affordable satellite services worldwide.”

As a founding member of the DIFI Consortium, Kratos recognizes the importance of the adoption of standards like DIFI in advancing that transformation and the satellite industry’s ability to scale and meet future demand. The implementation of the DIFI standard across a wide variety of ground system products is foundational in Kratos’ ongoing effort to support the integration of satellite services so that satellite ground systems operate seamlessly with today’s wireless and terrestrial networks.

“We are thrilled that Kratos’ OpenEdge 2500 is one of the first two products to meet compliance standards through the DIFI Certification Working Group process,” commented Stuart Daughtridge, Chairman of the DIFI Consortium. “This approval is a major milestone for Kratos, DIFI, and the satellite industry in ensuring that satellite ground segments can seamlessly adapt to rapidly changing space-layer payloads, orbits, and constellations.”

About DIFI
The Digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) Interoperability Consortium, or DIFI, has created a standard that enforces interoperability on digital IF/RF technology. Digital IF was developed to overcome the limitations of analog systems but, today, vendor lock-in prevents it from delivering seamless interoperability and severely limits its adoption. A truly interoperable digital IF, on the other hand, will enable transformation to a virtualized ground segment, reducing the total cost of ownership and significantly boosting network and terminal agility and scalability. Compliance with the DIFI standard will ensure that satellite ground segments can seamlessly adapt to rapidly changing space-layer payloads, orbits, and constellations. Ultimately, DIFI promises to elevate the resilience, performance, and capabilities of satellite networks and enable a digital transformation that integrates satellites seamlessly into the larger telecom, IT and GIS markets.

Research News and Market Data on TNXP

March 10, 2025 8:00am EDT Download as PDF

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently reaffirmed the spread of new clade Ib Mpox a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC): second Mpox-related WHO PHEIC declaration in two years

Clade Ib Mpox cases detected in several countries in Central and Eastern Africa as well as China, Thailand, Singapore, India, England, parts of Europe and the Middle East, Canada and the United States

Tolerability of TNX‐801 vaccination in immune-compromised animal models supports clinical development

CHATHAM, N.J., March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, today announced it has been awarded a grant from the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC) to support the development of TNX-801 (recombinant horsepox virus, live vaccine).
