BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 8, 2025 / Newsmax Inc. (NYSE:NMAX) (“Newsmax” or the “Company”) today announced a strategic realignment of its weekday evening schedule, boosting the Company’s late daytime lineup ahead of a pivotal moment in the day.

Starting Monday, September 8, 2025, Carl Higbie will move into the 6:00pm ET slot to host Carl Higbie FRONTLINE, anchoring viewers’ transition from day to night with incisive news analysis, fearless reporting and provocative opinion.

Veteran journalist Greta Van Susteren will pivot from the 6:00pm ET hour to a newly powerful 4:00pm ET timeslot, positioning her at the heart of momentous breaking stories as the market closes, court hearings end and Congress adjourns.

With decades of experience in delivering sharp, fact-based analysis and piercing interviews, Van Susteren’s move underscores Newsmax’s commitment to timely and authoritative journalism.

Simultaneously, The Chris Salcedo Show will shift into the 5:00pm ET hour, continuing his unapologetically conservative commentary in the critical early evening timeframe.

Carl Higbie Takes Evening Lead

Former U.S. Navy SEAL and seasoned political commentator Carl Higbie has been a dynamic presence at Newsmax since launching Carl Higbie FRONTLINE in April 2023.

Now airing at 6:00pm ET, the program adopts a sharper night-time edge, characterized by Higbie’s trademark “fearless exposure of government overreach and sharp critique of the mainstream media” – designed to kick off evening viewing powerfully.

Higbie made headlines in August when Carl Higbie FRONTLINE broadcast from Israel for a full week. Reporting from Jerusalem and other key locations, he provided coverage of Israel’s security concerns, touring defense industries and speaking directly with officials such as Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, praised the lineup innovation: “This reshuffle is designed to meet our viewers when the news truly matters,” Ruddy said. “Carl is a bold, unafraid journalist; Greta brings unmatched credibility at a critical juncture; and Chris brings strong voice and insight – together they form a powerful trifecta. We believe this revamped lineup will strengthen our connection with a news-hungry audience as we lead into primetime.”

New Late Day Lineup (Effective September 8, 2025)

4:00pm ET: The Record with Greta Van Susteren
5:00pm ET: The Chris Salcedo Show
6:00pm ET: Carl Higbie FRONTLINE
7:00pm ET: Rob Schmitt Tonight

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.

Return. FAT Brands announced the return of Andrew Wiederhorn as Chief Executive Officer. Recall, Mr. Wiederhorn had stepped down from his CEO role in May 2023 when the U.S. Department of Justice filed fraud and tax evasion charges against Mr. Wiederhorn. With the criminal charges now dropped, Mr. Wiederhorn will resume leading the Company he founded. Current co-CEOs Ken Kuick and Taylor Wiederhorn will return to their original roles as CFO and Chief Development Officer, respectively.

Our View. We view the re-appointment of Mr. Wiederhorn as CEO as a positive, although in his role as Chairman of the Board and consultant over the past two years, we believe Mr. Wiederhorn was still a guiding force for the Company. We believe the Company will continue to focus on its strategic priorities: organic expansion, targeted acquisitions, increasing the manufacturing facility’s capacity, and focusing on the balance sheet.

New Found Gold to Acquire Maritime, Creating a New Canadian Gold Producer

Posted on September 8, 2025September 8, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

The Canadian gold sector is set for a significant shakeup as New Found Gold Corp. announced plans to acquire Maritime Resources Corp. in a deal valued at approximately $292 million. The combination, announced Friday, will establish an emerging multi-asset gold producer in Newfoundland, a Tier 1 jurisdiction that has been attracting rising investor attention in recent years.

Under the arrangement, Maritime shareholders will receive 0.75 of a New Found Gold common share for each Maritime share they hold. The agreement implies a 32% premium to Maritime’s 20-day volume weighted average price as of September 4 and a 56% premium to its closing price before the two companies entered a letter of intent in late July. Following the closing of the transaction, expected in the fourth quarter of 2025, New Found Gold shareholders will own roughly 69% of the combined company, while Maritime shareholders will hold about 31%.

The merger brings together two strategically located projects: New Found Gold’s Queensway project and Maritime’s Hammerdown project. Hammerdown, which has been advancing toward production, is scheduled to ramp up to full output in early 2026, with ore processing set to begin later this year at the Pine Cove mill. The project is expected to produce 50,000 ounces of gold annually at an all-in sustaining cost of $912 per ounce, according to a 2022 feasibility study. Cash flow from Hammerdown is anticipated to help fund Queensway, which recently delivered a positive preliminary economic assessment and is targeting first production in 2027.

For New Found Gold, the acquisition represents a pivotal step in transforming from an exploration-focused company into a producer. The deal secures access to processing facilities such as Pine Cove and the Nugget Pond Hydrometallurgical Plant, while providing a near-term source of cash flow to support Queensway’s development. The company estimates Queensway could generate more than 1.5 million ounces of gold over a 15-year mine life, with a two-phased development plan designed to balance upfront costs with long-term growth.

For Maritime shareholders, the deal offers both an immediate premium and long-term exposure to a larger platform with greater liquidity. Shares of New Found Gold are actively traded on both the TSX Venture Exchange and the NYSE American, averaging about $4 million in daily volume over the past six months. That visibility is expected to give Maritime investors improved market access while allowing them to participate in the upside potential from Queensway’s development and further exploration across a 110-kilometer strike zone.

The boards of both companies have unanimously approved the deal. Maritime directors and senior officers, along with major shareholders representing nearly half of the company’s outstanding shares, have already agreed to vote in favor of the transaction. A shareholder meeting is planned for late October, with court and regulatory approvals still required.

Advisors on the deal include BMO Capital Markets for New Found Gold and SCP Resource Finance and Canaccord Genuity for Maritime. Both sides have received fairness opinions supporting the financial terms of the agreement. If approved, Maritime shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange shortly after closing.

With Hammerdown moving toward near-term production and Queensway positioned as one of Canada’s most promising new gold projects, the merger highlights the increasing consolidation trend in the sector. Investors seeking exposure to Canadian gold production are likely to watch closely as New Found Gold positions itself as a new mid-tier player with both cash flow and exploration upside.

PNC Becomes Colorado’s Leading Bank with FirstBank Acquisition

Posted on September 8, 2025September 8, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

PNC Financial Services Group has taken another major step in its national expansion strategy, announcing a $4.1 billion agreement to acquire FirstBank Holding Company, a Colorado-based institution with deep community roots and a strong regional presence. The deal, unveiled Monday, will significantly bolster PNC’s operations in two high-growth markets—Colorado and Arizona—while reinforcing its status as one of the nation’s leading banks.

FirstBank, headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, reported $26.8 billion in assets as of June 30, 2025. The bank operates 95 branches, with a dominant presence in Colorado and an established footprint in Arizona. The combination will more than triple PNC’s branch network in Colorado to 120 locations and instantly make Denver one of PNC’s largest markets nationwide, securing the number one position in both retail deposit share and branch share in the metro area. In Arizona, PNC will expand its presence to over 70 branches, further solidifying its strategy to grow in fast-expanding regions across the western United States.

For PNC Chairman and CEO William S. Demchak, the acquisition is more than a geographic play. It reflects PNC’s strategy of scaling its franchise by blending organic growth with targeted acquisitions. Over the past decade, PNC has consistently delivered double-digit revenue growth in new and acquired markets, aided by substantial investments in branch expansion, marketing, and digital capabilities. “FirstBank is the standout branch banking franchise in Colorado and Arizona,” Demchak said, praising its trusted relationships, strong retail base, and community focus. “It is an ideal partner for PNC as we continue to expand nationally.”

FirstBank’s legacy of community service is central to its appeal. The bank is well known for sponsoring Colorado Gives Day, which has raised over $500 million for local nonprofits. Its community-first model mirrors PNC’s approach, particularly through initiatives like its $85 billion Community Benefits Plan, which supports affordable housing, small businesses, and economic development, and its $500 million Grow Up Great® program, which promotes early childhood education.

Leadership continuity will also play an important role. FirstBank CEO Kevin Classen will assume the role of PNC’s Colorado Regional President and Mountain Territory Executive, overseeing operations in Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. PNC plans to retain all FirstBank branches and staff, ensuring continuity for customers and communities while leveraging PNC’s scale and resources to enhance offerings.

The acquisition, unanimously approved by the boards of both companies, is expected to close in early 2026 pending regulatory approvals. Shareholders of FirstBank will receive consideration in a mix of PNC stock and cash, totaling approximately 13.9 million shares and $1.2 billion. Advisors to the deal include Wells Fargo and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz for PNC, and Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Sullivan & Cromwell for FirstBank.

For PNC, the acquisition cements its push into high-growth western markets, expanding beyond its strongholds in the Midwest and East. For FirstBank, it marks a new chapter, pairing its community-driven model with the capabilities of a national financial powerhouse. Together, the institutions are poised to reshape the banking landscape in Colorado and Arizona while reinforcing PNC’s growing influence nationwide.

Gold Surges to Record High as Weak US Jobs Data Fuels Fed Rate-Cut Bets

Posted on September 5, 2025September 5, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Gold soared to an all-time high on Friday after a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report intensified expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates later this month. The move marked the latest milestone in a multi-year rally that has been powered by economic uncertainty, rising geopolitical risks, and a steady flight to safe-haven assets.

Spot gold gained as much as 1.5% to break above $3,600 an ounce, eclipsing its previous record and capping a week of sharp gains. By early afternoon in New York, bullion was trading at $3,592.50 an ounce, up 1.3% on the day and on track for a 4.2% weekly advance, the strongest since late May. Silver also edged higher, while Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar slipped in response to the data.

The rally was triggered by a pivotal U.S. payrolls report showing that hiring slowed markedly in August, while the unemployment rate rose to its highest level since 2021. Economists said the numbers signaled clear signs of a cooling labor market, reinforcing the view that the Fed may need to act more aggressively to support growth. Lower interest rates typically enhance the appeal of gold, which does not yield interest or dividends but benefits from reduced opportunity costs in a lower-rate environment.

Investors have also been positioning for heightened volatility around the Fed’s independence. President Donald Trump has escalated his criticism of the central bank this year, vowing to secure a majority on the Fed’s board “very shortly” and pressing for sharp rate cuts. Markets are watching closely for a forthcoming ruling on whether Trump has grounds to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook, a move that could allow him to appoint a more dovish policymaker and raise questions about the institution’s long-term credibility. Goldman Sachs analysts wrote in a recent note that gold could rally toward $5,000 an ounce if investors lose confidence in the Fed’s independence and begin shifting even a small portion of their holdings from Treasuries into bullion.

Over the past three years, gold and silver have more than doubled in value, with a steady stream of macroeconomic and geopolitical risks bolstering demand. Trade tensions, slowing global growth, and renewed concerns about the trajectory of U.S. monetary policy have all converged to create a powerful tailwind for precious metals. At the same time, strong buying from central banks and institutional investors has added structural support to the market, pushing gold firmly into record territory.

While some analysts warn that prices may be vulnerable to a correction if employment data stabilizes or inflation ticks higher, many expect gold’s appeal to remain strong. With borrowing costs likely heading lower and confidence in traditional policy tools wavering, bullion’s role as a store of value appears more attractive than ever. For now, gold’s latest record marks another reminder that in times of economic uncertainty, investors continue to seek the safety of precious metals.

We believe our novel anticancer agent could become a breakthrough treatment for those suffering from late-stage non-small cell lung cancer,” said MAIA’s Senior Medical Director Victor Zaporojan, M.D. “We look forward to further discussing our observed progression free survival (PFS) at this year’s World Conference on Lung Cancer.”

Conference details:

MAIA representatives: Victor Zaporojan, M.D., Sr. Medical Director; Tomasz Jankowski, M.D., THIO-101 lead investigator and abstract presenting author
Poster session: P1.11 – Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer – Immunotherapy
Session time: Sunday, September 7, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Poster available at maiabiotech.com/publications on the day of the presentation

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently granted Fast Track designation for ateganosine (THIO, 6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine) for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MAIA intends to utilize the incentives of the Fast Track Program to expedite the regulatory process for ateganosine. If relevant criteria are met during the Fast Track process, a drug will be eligible for FDA Accelerated Approval and Priority Review (FDA decision within six months).

About IASLC

The IASLC is a global multidisciplinary organization dedicated to eradication of all forms of lung cancer. From provision of educational events around the world and virtually to research projects and publications that advance the science of lung cancer, the IASLC’s members are raising the bar for care of patients with lung cancer.

IASLC’s annual World Conference on Lung Cancer has played an integral part in facilitating progress by providing a platform for sharing cutting-edge research, collaboration, and networking among industry leaders, experts, and visionaries from around the world.

About Ateganosine

Ateganosine (THIO, 6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine) is a first-in-class investigational telomere-targeting agent currently in clinical development to evaluate its activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Telomeres, along with the enzyme telomerase, play a fundamental role in the survival of cancer cells and their resistance to current therapies. The modified nucleotide 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine induces telomerase-dependent telomeric DNA modification, DNA damage responses, and selective cancer cell death. Ateganosine-damaged telomeric fragments accumulate in cytosolic micronuclei and activates both innate (cGAS/STING) and adaptive (T-cell) immune responses. The sequential treatment of ateganosine followed by PD-(L)1 inhibitors resulted in profound and persistent tumor regression in advanced, in vivo cancer models by induction of cancer type–specific immune memory. Ateganosine is presently developed as a second or later line of treatment for NSCLC for patients that have progressed beyond the standard-of-care regimen of existing checkpoint inhibitors.

About THIO-101 Phase 2 Clinical Trial

THIO-101 is a multicenter, open-label, dose finding Phase 2 clinical trial. It is the first trial designed to evaluate ateganosine’s anti-tumor activity when followed by PD-(L)1 inhibition. The trial is testing the hypothesis that low doses of ateganosine administered prior to cemiplimab (Libtayo^®) will enhance and prolong immune response in patients with advanced NSCLC who previously did not respond or developed resistance and progressed after first-line treatment regimen containing another checkpoint inhibitor. The trial design has two primary objectives: (1) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ateganosine administered as an anticancer compound and a priming immune activator (2) to assess the clinical efficacy of ateganosine using Overall Response Rate (ORR) as the primary clinical endpoint. The expansion of the study will assess overall response rates (ORR) in advanced NSCLC patients receiving third line (3L) therapy who were resistant to previous checkpoint inhibitor treatments (CPI) and chemotherapy. Treatment with ateganosine followed by cemiplimab (Libtayo^®) has shown an acceptable safety profile to date in a heavily pre-treated population. For more information on this Phase II trial, please visit ClinicalTrials.gov using the identifier NCT05208944.

About MAIA Biotechnology, Inc.

MAIA is a targeted therapy, immuno-oncology company focused on the development and commercialization of potential first-in-class drugs with novel mechanisms of action that are intended to meaningfully improve and extend the lives of people with cancer. Our lead program is ateganosine (THIO), a potential first-in-class cancer telomere targeting agent in clinical development for the treatment of NSCLC patients with telomerase-positive cancer cells.

Weak Q4 results. Fiscal Q4 revenues declined 6.7% to $336.6 million, roughly in line with our $338.0 million estimate. Adj. EBITDA loss of $24.2 million was larger than our loss estimate of $20.5 million. The quarter benefited by the Easter shift from Q3 a year earlier into Q4 this year. Gross margins declined 290 basis points from the year earlier quarter, in part, due to a highly promotional sales environment.

Reimagining its business. Management indicated that it is seeking an omnichannel approach to target customers, including opening storefronts, and broadening its reach beyond its own e-commerce sites. The company plans to lower its operating costs beyond the earlier announced $40 million in annualized costs, of which $17 million of annualized costs reductions were achieved in Q4.

AI Startup Augment Raises $85M to Scale Augie, Its Logistics Teammate

Posted on September 4, 2025September 4, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Logistics may be one of the most complex and fragmented industries, but San Francisco–based startup Augment is betting its AI teammate can streamline it. The company announced an $85 million Series A funding round this week, led by Redpoint Ventures with participation from 8VC, Shopify Ventures, Autotech Ventures, and others. The raise brings Augment’s total funding to $110 million, remarkable for a company that only came out of stealth five months ago.

At the heart of Augment’s pitch is Augie, its AI productivity platform designed to automate logistics workflows from start to finish. Unlike the patchwork of point solutions that often leave gaps, Augie takes end-to-end ownership of shipments—covering everything from front-office quoting and dispatch to back-office billing and compliance. The platform integrates directly with transportation management systems, shipper portals, and load boards while communicating seamlessly across channels, aiming to reduce the friction that bogs down brokers, shippers, and carriers.

The results so far are drawing attention. Customers report significant productivity gains, with some brokerage reps doubling or even tripling the number of loads managed daily without adding headcount. Shippers are seeing faster billing cycles and tighter adherence to service level agreements, while carriers benefit from quicker payments and fewer service calls. Augment claims Augie has already reduced invoice delays by 40%, shortened billing timelines by as much as eight days, improved gross margins by up to five percent per load, and boosted operational productivity by 30–50%.

That level of impact is what convinced investors to back such a large round so quickly. Co-founder and CEO Harish Abbott said the funds will be used to hire more than 50 engineers and expand its go-to-market teams by year-end, with deeper hiring in 2026. “Logistics runs on millions of decisions under pressure,” Abbott said. “Augie doesn’t just assist—it takes ownership.” His vision is for AI agents like Augie to become standard within 12 to 18 months, handling the majority of repetitive logistics workflows.

For co-founder Justin Hall, the mission is personal. After years in brokerages and fleets, he saw firsthand the waste created by siloed tools and manual processes. “The industry tried hundreds of point solutions that created new problems,” Hall said. “We built Augie as an AI teammate that keeps context and delivers efficiency, stronger margins, and easier work.”

Customers like Armstrong Transport Group, a $1.3 billion brokerage, are already seeing tangible results. Representatives there have gone from managing 10 loads a day to 20 or 30, while morale and customer service scores have improved. “If it gets sent to Augie, it gets done,” said William McManus, an operations specialist at Armstrong.

As freight networks grow more complex, Augment is investing not just in scaling Augie’s coverage but also in building a logistics-native knowledge hub that provides pricing, compliance, and service intelligence across modes. With over $35 billion in freight already managed through its platform, Augment is positioning itself as more than a tool—it wants to be the digital teammate behind the next era of logistics.

A recording of the call will be posted on the Investors section of the Company’s website within two hours of the call’s completion.

Definitions of non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We sometimes use financial measures derived from consolidated financial information, but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain of these are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this document are either labeled as “non-GAAP,” “adjusted” or designated as such with a “1”. See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures. Where applicable, see the Selected Financial Information below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations for forward-looking figures would require unreasonable efforts at this time because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of certain components of various necessary GAAP components, including, for example, those related to compensation, tax items, amortization or others that may arise during the year, and the Company’s management believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The lack of such reconciling information should be considered when assessing the impact of such disclosures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation, Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC”) investment appreciation/depreciation, and for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were calculated for each period presented. The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it considers such information meaningful supplemental measures of its performance and believes such information is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as factors to determine the total amount of incentive compensation available to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. The Company’s credit agreement uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-related items to determine its interest rate and to measure compliance with certain covenants. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are: (a) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; (b) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company’s performance.

Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin

We define Segment Contribution Margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is defined as Segment Contribution Margin adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin were calculated for each period presented. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin provide management and users of the financial statements meaningful information about the performance of our business segments. Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is that they are an incomplete measure of profitability as they do not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for this limitation when using these measures by looking at other GAAP measures, such as Operating Income and Net Income.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share as Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information below for details on how Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share were calculated for each period presented. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results. Since these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Free Cash Flow:

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company considers Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of fixed assets, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in the Company’s business, make strategic acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet, and repurchase stock or retire debt. Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure that is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. Since Free Cash Flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. A limitation of the utility of Free Cash Flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company’s cash balance for the period.
