The U.S. labor market showed troubling signs of weakness in July, with only 73,000 jobs added—well below expectations and compounded by sharp downward revisions to prior months. May and June figures were slashed by a combined 258,000 jobs, revealing that the job market’s slowdown is more severe than initially reported.
Unemployment edged up to 4.2%, while the broader underemployment rate hit 7.9%, its highest level since March. Particularly alarming was a decline of 260,000 workers in the household survey, alongside a dip in labor force participation to 62.2%.
The July job gains were narrowly concentrated. Health care and social assistance accounted for 94% of the growth, adding 55,000 and 18,000 jobs respectively. Other sectors like retail and finance contributed modestly, while federal government jobs declined by 12,000—partly due to ongoing cuts under Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. Business and professional services also saw a 14,000 job loss.
Wages grew at a moderate pace, up 0.3% for the month and 3.9% over the year, matching expectations. But the rise in long-term unemployment—now averaging 24.1 weeks—signals growing distress for job seekers.
Markets reacted swiftly: stock futures dropped and Treasury yields tumbled as investors priced in a higher chance of rate cuts. The probability of a Federal Reserve rate cut at the September meeting jumped to over 75%, from just 40% the day before.
President Donald Trump, already frustrated with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, doubled down on his criticism. In an inflammatory Truth Social post, he called Powell a “stubborn MORON” and demanded immediate and aggressive rate cuts, even suggesting the Federal Open Market Committee override Powell’s leadership.
Despite Trump’s pressure, the Fed opted to hold rates steady in July. The latest jobs report may force reconsideration. Economists warn that companies are becoming more hesitant to hire due to higher costs, weak consumer demand, and lingering uncertainty from trade policy and tariffs.
While GDP growth posted a strong 3% in Q2, that number may be misleading. Analysts note that the figure was inflated by businesses stockpiling imports before Trump’s latest tariffs took effect in April, with underlying demand remaining weak.
As the labor market cools and political pressure mounts, the September Fed meeting could prove pivotal—not just for monetary policy, but for the broader economic trajectory heading into 2026.

Solid Q2 results. The company reported second quarter revenue of €54.8 million, up 0.7% over the prior year period and largely in line with our estimate of €55.5 million. Adj. EBITDA in the quarter was €2.3 million, up 77% over the prior year period and better than our estimate of €0.1 million. Importantly, the top line results do not fully capture the company’s strong performance in Q2, given the devaluation of the Mexican Peso. On a constant currency basis, revenue was up 12%.
Mexico continues to grow nicely. The company’s operations in Mexico had a strong quarter that was muted by a 19% devaluation of the Peso compared to the prior year period. Notably, the company grew active customers in Mexico by a strong 36% over the prior year period, and revenue was up 23% on a constant currency basis. In our view, the company had a solid quarter in Mexico and top line results should improve as it comps year earlier Peso valuations.

Q2 largely in line. The company reported a Q2 revenue of $16.4 million (up an impressive 17.6% year-over-year) and an adj. EBITDA of a loss of $0.5 million. These results were largely in line with our estimates of $16.5 million in revenue and adj. EBITDA of $0.4 million.
Customer growth. The company continues to expand its user base across both B2C and B2B channels. Paying subscribers to its YouCam mobile beauty app rose 4.4% year over year to 960,000, while its B2B footprint grew to 818 brand clients and over 914,000 SKUs, up from 686 clients and 774,000 SKUs a year earlier. The number of Key B2B Customers (those generating at least $50,000 annually), however, declined to 139 from 151, with the drop evenly split between lower spending and customer churn tied to macro pressures.

Pennsylvania Entrance. MariMed announced a strategic agreement with TILT Holdings that will expand the distribution of the Company’s award winning portfolio of medical marijuana products to Pennsylvania. We view this as a significant expansion of MariMed’s product line into one of the largest cannabis markets.
Pennsylvania Market. The Pennsylvania cannabis market is estimated at $1.7 billion of annual revenue, making Pennsylvania the sixth largest legal cannabis market in the U.S. Significantly, the state remains a medical state only. When, and if, adult recreational use is approved, the overall cannabis market is projected to at least double. There are currently in excess of 180 medical dispensaries in the state, providing a large potential base to distribute MariMed products into.

ACCO continued to make progress on its cost cutting initiative, realizing more than $40 million in cumulative cost savings since inception.

Key Points: – Figma’s IPO surged 242%, pushing its market cap near $55B. – AI-powered tools, 46% revenue growth, and strong margins fuel investor demand. – CEO Dylan Field retains control and eyes future expansion, including M&A.
Figma Inc. stunned Wall Street on Thursday with a meteoric debut on the New York Stock Exchange, soaring 242% above its IPO price and closing in on a $55 billion valuation. The design software company raised $1.2 billion in its offering, marking one of the most explosive IPO launches in recent tech history.
Shares opened at $33 but quickly surged to over $112 before being halted twice for volatility. Demand was extraordinary—the IPO was more than 40 times oversubscribed, with many institutional investors receiving no allocation. The excitement vaulted Figma’s valuation well past the $20 billion figure from its canceled merger with Adobe in 2023, which had been derailed by regulatory scrutiny.
Founded in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace, Figma has revolutionized web-based design tools, offering real-time collaboration across browsers. Over time, the platform has evolved beyond interface design to support development workflows, workplace collaboration, and, more recently, AI-driven prototyping. Its latest tool, Figma Make, turns user prompts into functioning design prototypes using artificial intelligence.
The IPO included 12.47 million shares sold by the company, while major early investors like Index Ventures and Greylock Partners offloaded 24.46 million shares. Based on the last trading price before halts, Figma’s fully diluted valuation—including employee stock options—exceeds $65 billion.
CEO Dylan Field, who controls over 74% of the company’s voting power through Class B shares, now holds a stake worth nearly $4.9 billion. His recently awarded 10-year “moon-shot” compensation package begins to vest only if the stock maintains a 60-day average above $60. At current prices, he’s well on his way to surpassing even the highest $130 performance hurdle.
Figma’s first-quarter performance was impressive, with 46% year-over-year revenue growth and a net income of $44.9 million on $228 million in revenue. Despite a full-year net loss of $732 million in 2024—largely due to increased R&D and expansion efforts—its 92% gross margin puts it ahead of many of its SaaS peers, giving it ample runway for aggressive growth.
With its public debut, Figma signals a revival in the IPO market, becoming the first major U.S. software company to go public since SailPoint in early 2025. Its successful auction-style order-taking process and investor enthusiasm are seen as green lights for other venture-backed tech firms contemplating IPOs this year.
As Figma eyes expansion, Field says M&A is on the table—but only if the team and culture align. “We’re just getting started,” he noted, emphasizing that public listing is not the end goal but a launchpad for broader ambitions.
The company now trades under the ticker symbol FIG on the NYSE. With demand red-hot and the AI design space heating up, Figma’s future appears as sharply defined as the interfaces it helps bring to life.

Reported net sales of $395 million, within the Company’s outlook
Earnings per share of $0.31, adjusted earnings per share of $0.28, within outlook
SG&A down compared to prior year
Multi-year cost reduction program has yielded more than $40 million of savings
Third quarter and full year 2025 outlook provided
LAKE ZURICH, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ACCO) today reported financial results for its second quarter and six-months ended June 30, 2025.
“We reported second quarter net sales and adjusted EPS in line with our outlook. We felt the immediate disruption from the tariffs in April, with trends improving sequentially throughout the quarter. We continue to make progress on our multi-year cost reduction program realizing more than $40 million in cumulative cost savings since the plan’s inception. Our flexible global supply chain is a competitive advantage as we navigate the evolving business environment,” stated ACCO Brands’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Tedford.
“We expect sales in the third quarter to moderately improve as economies stabilize, and benefit from the weakening dollar. Our momentum in new product development is accelerating, with an exciting pipeline of innovative products launching across multiple categories in the second half of the year. Our disciplined cost management and operational optimization efforts, position us well to drive enhanced long-term shareholder value as sales trends improve. We are building a resilient organization that is well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities as market conditions improve,” concluded Mr. Tedford.
Second Quarter Results
Net sales were $394.8 million, down 9.9 percent from $438.3 million in 2024. Favorable foreign exchange increased sales by $2.6 million, or 0.6 percent. Comparable sales decreased 10.5 percent. Sales in the quarter were negatively impacted by disruptions in purchasing as tariffs were announced. The decline in net sales also reflects softer global demand for consumer and business products, partially offset by growth in gaming accessories.
Operating income was $33.0 million versus operating loss of $111.2 million in 2024. The loss in 2024 was primarily due to non-cash impairment charges of $165.2 million related to goodwill and intangible assets within the Americas segment. Restructuring expense of $9.4 million compares to $0.3 million of reserve release in the prior year. Current year operating income benefited from a gain on sale of assets of $6.9 million. Adjusted operating income was $47.1 million compared to $64.6 million in 2024. The decline in adjusted operating income reflects lower sales volume and lower fixed-cost absorption which was partially offset by cost savings and lower incentive compensation expense.
Net income was $29.2 million, or $0.31 per share, compared with prior-year net loss of $125.2 million, or $(1.29) per share. Both the current and prior year results reflect the items noted above in operating income. Current year net income was positively impacted as the Company settled the outstanding tax assessments in Brazil, resulting in a net discrete tax benefit of $13.4 million. Adjusted net income was $25.8 million compared with adjusted net income of $36.6 million in 2024, and adjusted earnings per share was $0.28 compared with $0.37 in 2024.
Business Segment Results
ACCO Brands Americas – Second quarter segment net sales of $248.5 million decreased 15.0 percent from $292.3 million in the prior year. Adverse foreign exchange reduced sales by 1.1 percent. Comparable sales were $251.6 million, down 13.9 percent versus the prior year. Net sales in the quarter were negatively impacted by disruptions in customer purchases as tariffs were announced and sales improved throughout the quarter. The decline in net sales is also attributable to softer demand for certain consumer and business products, partially offset by growth in gaming accessories.
Second quarter operating income was $40.7 million compared to an operating loss of $108.7 million a year earlier. The prior year loss was primarily due to non-cash charges of $165.2 million related to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Current year operating income benefited from a gain on sale of assets of $5.7 million. Adjusted operating income was $43.2 million, down from $63.2 million in the prior year. The decrease in adjusted operating income reflects lower sales volume, lower fixed-cost absorption and impacts from tariffs, partially offset by cost savings.
ACCO Brands International – Second quarter segment net sales of $146.3 million increased 0.2 percent from $146.0 million in the prior year. Favorable foreign exchange increased sales by 3.9 percent. Comparable sales were $140.6 million, down 3.7 percent versus the prior year. Comparable sales declines reflect reduced demand for certain business products, partially offset by the benefit of price increases and the acquisition of Buro Seating, as well as growth in gaming accessories.
Second quarter operating loss was $0.8 million, compared to an operating income of $7.8 million in the prior year. Restructuring expense associated with the multi-year cost reduction program of $8.6 million, compares to a reserve release of $0.3 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $12.4 million compared with $11.7 million in the prior year. The increase in adjusted operating income reflects pricing actions, cost savings and lower incentive compensation expense, which more than offset the impact of lower sales volume.
Six Month Results
Net sales were $712.2 million, down 10.7 percent from $797.2 million in 2024. Adverse foreign exchange reduced sales by $9.1 million, or 1.1 percent. Comparable sales decreased 9.6 percent. Net sales declines reflect the impact from the tariff announcements, and softer global demand for consumer and business products and technology accessories categories.
Operating income was $26.3 million versus operating loss of $105.3 million in 2024, primarily due to non-cash impairment charges of $165.2 million related to goodwill and intangible assets within the Americas segment in the prior year. Restructuring expense of $11.7 million, compares to reserve releases of $0.6 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $54.0 million, down from $80.8 million in 2024. Adjusted operating income decline reflects lower sales volume which was partially offset by cost savings.
Net income was $16.0 million, or $0.17 per share, compared with a net loss of $131.5 million, or $(1.37) per share, in 2024. Net income in the six-month period was positively impacted by the same items noted above for the second quarter. The prior year loss reflects the items noted above in operating income. Adjusted net income was $23.7 million compared with $39.2 million in 2024, and adjusted earnings per share were $0.25 per share compared with $0.40 per share in 2024.
Capital Allocation and Dividend
Year to date, operating cash flow was an outflow of $33.4 million versus an inflow of $2.6 million in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow was an outflow of $23.7 million compared to an outflow of $2.3 million in the prior year. The Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as of June 30, 2025 was 4.3x.
Year to date, the Company paid dividends of $13.5 million and repurchased 3.2 million shares of common stock for $15.1 million.
Effective July 29, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to its bank credit agreement which increases its maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant through 2026.
On July 25, 2025, 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 September 10, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 22, 2025.
Full Year 2025 and Third Quarter Outlook
For the full year, the Company expects reported sales to be down in the range of 7.0% to 8.5%. Full year adjusted EPS is expected to be within a range of $0.83 to $0.90. The Company expects 2025 adjusted free cash flow to be approximately $100 million, which includes $17 million in cash proceeds from the sale of two owned facilities.
In the third quarter, the Company expects reported sales to be down within a range of 5.0% to 8.0% and adjusted EPS within a range of $0.21 to $0.24.
Both the full year and third quarter outlooks reflect a cautious view of the demand environment in reaction to evolving trade policies and continued softness in consumer and business discretionary spending.
“While the demand environment remains soft due to evolving trade policy, we do expect trends to improve in the second half of the year. We are confident in our long-term strategy to improve revenue trends and optimize our cost structure and are executing well against our strategic initiatives. We remain optimistic about our future and are confident in our leading brands,” concluded Mr. Tedford.

Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is contained in Codere Online’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Codere Online or other matters and attributable to Codere Online or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.
Financial Information and Non-GAAP Financial Measures Codere Online’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), which can differ in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
This document includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP or IFRS (“non-GAAP”), such as, without limitation, net gaming revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and constant currency information. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Codere Online’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under U.S. GAAP or IFRS. You should be aware that Codere Online’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. In addition, the audit of Codere Online’s financial statements in accordance with PCAOB standards, may impact how Codere Online currently calculates its non-GAAP financial measures, and we cannot assure you that there would not be differences, and such differences could be material.
Codere Online believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in comparing Codere Online’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable measure under IFRS are included herein.
This document may include certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Codere Online is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP or IFRS financial measures without unreasonable effort, due to the inherent difficulty and variability of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such comparable measures or such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, ascertained or assessed, which could have a material impact on its future IFRS financial results. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable U.S. GAAP or IFRS measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.
Use of Projections This document contains financial forecasts with respect to Codere Online’s business and projected financial results, including net gaming revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Codere Online’s independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this document, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this document. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of Codere Online or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this document should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.
For further information on the limitations and assumptions underlying these projections, please refer to Codere Online’s filings with the SEC.
