Maple Leaf Foods Ranked Second Globally in 2020 Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index of Environmental, Social and Governance Performance

PR Newswire

One year after achieving carbon neutrality, Maple Leaf Foods ranked second globally in the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index, the world’s only comprehensive sustainability ranking of the 60 largest publicly traded animal protein producers

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Maple Leaf Foods Inc. (TSX: MFI), a leading North American producer of high-quality, sustainable meat and plant-based proteins, announced today that it has been ranked second and one of only three ‘low risk’ investments globally in the 2020 Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index, marking another key step in the organization’s purposeful journey to become the most sustainable protein company on earth.

The Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index* is an award-winning environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ranking of the world’s 60 largest publicly traded protein producers. Companies are assigned scores against ten sustainability factors including: governance, greenhouse gas emissions; deforestation and biodiversity loss; water scarcity and use; waste and pollution; antibiotics; animal welfare; working conditions, food safety, and alternative proteins.

“We are grateful that the meaningful progress we made on our sustainability journey throughout 2020 has been recognized by the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index,” said Michael McCain, President and CEO. “At Maple Leaf Foods, we believe that real change results from meaningful action.  We are acting with urgency to address the negative impact of carbon emissions and to create better food, better care, better communities and a better planet now and for future generations.”   

In 2019, Maple Leaf Foods was ranked 7th globally in the Coller FAIRR Index, and in the past year, since achieving carbon neutrality and becoming one of only three animal protein companies in the world to adopt science-based emissions targets, the company has risen in the ranking to second. Not only is Maple Leaf Foods one of the highest ranked companies globally, it is the only Canadian protein producer included on the ranking and is the highest ranked protein producer in North America.

“Sustainability is integral to everything we do and make at Maple Leaf Foods,” said McCain. “We are proud to see our dedication to a healthy planet and a healthy future for all people reflected in our global ranking as one of the most sustainable protein companies on earth – and to demonstrate that sustainability and a thriving business are not mutually exclusive goals. Maple Leaf Foods intends to lead in sustainability for years to come, and we have ambitious science-based targets that will propel us toward our goal of becoming the most sustainable protein company on earth.”

Maple Leaf Foods’ leadership in plant protein was one of the key factors that contributed to the company’s rise in the global rankings. In fact, Maple Leaf Foods is the only company to achieve a 100% score in the alternative protein category in the 2020 Coller FAIRR Index, and the only company to have set a target to achieve $3 billion in plant protein sales by 2029.* In 2020, Maple Leaf Foods enhanced its leadership in alternative proteins by introducing the new fusion protein category with the launch of Maple Leaf 50/50™. A direct response to rising consumer interest in flexitarian eating and plant-based protein, Maple Leaf 50/50™ products are made with 50% premium quality meat and 50% natural and plant-based protein for consumers who want to make sustainable protein choices for themselves, their family and the planet – without giving up meat entirely.

Sustainability is a company-wide initiative at Maple Leaf Foods that encompasses every aspect of the business. Next steps on the company’s journey to become the most sustainable protein company on earth include achieving a 50% intensity reduction in its environmental footprint and food waste by 2025, and reducing absolute Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions and Scope 3 emissions per tonne of product produced by 30%, by 2030 following science-based targets. Maple Leaf Foods is also committed to maintaining its net carbon footprint at zero, through focusing on avoiding and reducing emissions and offsetting unavoidable emissions that currently cannot be reduced. The company has invested in 11 high-impact environmental projects across North America, including waste diversion renewable energy and forestry initiatives.

LiquidityBook Launches Standalone CAT Reporting Solution

Early clients, including industry-leading outsourced trading solutions provider Tourmaline Partners, see immediate cost, performance and functionality benefits

New York, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LiquidityBook, a leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based provider of buy- and sell-side trading solutions, today announced the launch of a new Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) reporting solution. CAT reporting has always been among the sell-side reporting functionalities available to LiquidityBook’s OMS customers, but demand from non-OMS clients prompted the firm to develop a solution on a standalone basis for those who using either a competing OMS or no OMS at all.

The new functionality will help broker-dealers – including Outsourced Trading firms using LiquidityBook’s LBX Outsourced Trader platform – navigate the transition from Order Audit Trail System (OATS) reporting to CAT reporting. The phased rollout of the new reporting regime began earlier this year, and Phase 2a – in which large industry members and small OATS reporters alike must begin reporting firm-to-firm linkage validations and equity exchange and TRF linkage validations – began on October 26.

The solution, which was soft launched to a select group of high-performance clients earlier this year, will be particularly impactful for firms that do not use an OMS and whose EMS providers do not support CAT reporting. Already, LiquidityBook has onboarded several clients whose previous systems could no longer support the reporting requirements of the new regulatory order.

“Given that the CAT has had an enormous effect on how trading firms handle their customer data, we saw a large amount of interest from firms whose existing OMS and/or EMS provider could not provide the reporting capability for one reason or another, leaving firms with a very clear business risk to their organization – perhaps rendering it inoperable,” said Sean Sullivan, Chief Revenue Officer at LiquidityBook. “Our team has built a solution that will help the industry navigate this shifting regulatory landscape. We are pleased to be able to fill the void and offer CAT reporting to players who were underserved by their previous systems as well as our existing clients.”

“There is no question that the implementation of CAT has created new complexities from a compliance standpoint,” said Daniel Dispigna, Chief Operating Officer at Tourmaline Partners, an industry-leading outsourced trading solutions provider and longtime LiquidityBook client. “Working with LiquidityBook allows us to meet these challenges with as much efficiency as possible. Their reporting solution is robust and versatile, helping us satisfy our own reporting requirements as well as serve the needs of our diverse and growing client base.”

The new CAT reporting tool is the latest addition to LiquidityBook’s suite of regulatory reporting solutions. The firm has offered MiFID II reporting tools since the framework’s implementation in early 2018, and more recently it upgraded its SEC Rules 605 and 606 reporting toolkit to meet the new requirements introduced earlier this year.

About LiquidityBook

LiquidityBook is a leading SaaS-based provider of buy- and sell-side trading solutions, including order management, portfolio management, execution management, FIX network connectivity, compliance and pre- and post-trade processing. Founded in 2005, the LiquidityBook platform is trusted by many of the industry’s most sophisticated buy- and sell-side firms globally to power their trading workflows.

A copy of the letter also appears on the Company’s website and is disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 12, 2020.

Shareholder Update

Edison Nation, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of a Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Vinco Ventures, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Honey Badger Media, LLC (collectively referred to as “Vinco”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Vinco merged with and into the Company with the resultant new Company name being Vinco.

In addition, the Company entered into transactions with Honey Badger Media, LLC whereby in return for the payment of the consideration as set forth below, the Company receives the following:

  1. The registered traffic domains related to Honey Badger Media in exchange for the payment of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,00).
     
  2. Exclusive and perpetual license agreement for the use of the Honey Badger Media portal and its process for branding and content development of media properties in exchange for 750,000 shares of restricted common stock of the company.

The Vinco Strategy: B.I.G.

In today’s marketplace for consumer product companies, the digital shelf dominates as the core channel for brand growth and sustainability. The reduction in physical shelf space and the global pandemic have exponentially increased the change in consumer behavior to favor purchasing online.

Many consumer product brands are struggling with this reality and have failed to focus on the importance of the digital shelf. Such brands are ripe for consolidation, and Vinco will seek to lead the effort to consolidate those brands.

Vinco is poised to leverage the new market opportunity by utilizing their B.I.G. Strategy: Buy. Innovate. Grow.

BUY: Vinco will seek to acquire one significant brand per quarter commencing with the acquisition of Honey Badger Media, the media technology platform acquisition announced today.

Acquisitions are our model. The specific attributes of the target companies will evolve with the market, but the core focus will remain digital media and consumer product companies.

The Vinco target brand acquisitions will be segmented into 3 Tiers:

  • Tier 1 brand acquisitions generate $20M+ in top line revenue.
  • Tier 2 brand acquisitions generate $10-19M in top line revenue.
  • Tier 3 brand acquisitions generate $0-9M in top line revenue.

INNOVATE: The core brands for Vinco will leverage the digital traffic platforms of Pop Nation and Honey Badger. By significantly improving both the traffic volume and the conversion metrics, the brands will more easily scale and innovate around the products that are most successful.

The Vinco brands receive a competitive advantage by having access to the digital traffic engine that has produced the following results:

  • 2 Billion Video Views in October 2020
     
  • 20 Million unique Sessions of unpaid traffic in one day to a directed page
     
  • 150 Million Unique visitors to owned/controlled domains a month
     
  • 1 Billion ad impressions per month 
     
  • Over $50 Million in historical revenue generated from platform 
     
  • $3 Million on video views from Facebook 2019
     
  • Generated traffic for brands ranging from travel, CBD, Credit Repair, skin cream, men’s health, wrinkle cream, diet, muscle building 

GROW: Growth is fueled through acquisition and innovation. As the third step in our business, it’s the result of proper execution of our acquisition strategy and efficient innovation. By coupling these two principles together we scale quickly and profitably.

Updated Guidance for 2020 for Edison Nation and Edison Nation Medical and PPE performance

COVID-19 has created both opportunity and a considerable amount of uncertainty across many markets including the sourcing and sale of Personal Protective Equipment. While we were initially excited regarding the confirmed orders that we received, we have realized that the supply side of the industry is unable to keep up with the current global demand. In response, we have adjusted our corporate guidance in the PPE space from fiscal year 2020 to include the initial two quarters of 2021 to allow sufficient time for delivery. Additionally, we will provide separate detail revenue and margin guidance for all PPE and non PPE business going forward. While we still remain confident in our confirmed demand and ability to supply the products required, we have taken a different approach moving forward due to the uncertainty of timing of production and transportation which has caused the additional time added to our initial guidance.

Revenue Guidance for Fiscal 2021

Nano Dimension Reports 2020 Third Quarter Financial Results

 Conference call to be held today at 9:00 a.m. EST

Sunrise, Florida, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM), a leading Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME)/PE (Printed Electronics) provider, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. 

Nano Dimension reported revenues of $438,000 for the third quarter of 2020. The Company ended the quarter with a cash and deposits balance of $45,720,000 (including short and long-term unrestricted bank deposits), while net loss for the third quarter was $20,716,000 and negative adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $3,373,000.

“These are not disappointing results per se,” said Yael Sandler, Chief Financial Officer of Nano Dimension. “As we have projected starting April 2020, the reduced revenues in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic being prolonged and re-emerging crises, were in fact expected to be lower than we have achieved. Actually, in APAC, the revenues have seemed to already start a modest recovery in the fourth quarter of 2020. We believe that the United States is still in a process of downswing of capital expenditures under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, and European prospective customers are sinking back toward a commercial stand still, under the effects of its second wave. As the market stagnation is prolonged, understandably hesitant and/or careful customers tend to delay investments in breakthrough, new prototyping and fabrication technologies of unique Hi-PEDs™ (High Performance Electronic Devices). While the phenomena are clear and present, they are probably temporary,” concluded Ms. Sandler.

Mr. Yoav Stern, Chief Executive Officer and President of Nano Dimension commented: “The expectation of our market growth has not changed, and we believe that this is a interim delay. We expect the mid-term slow-down effect to act like a “sling shot” once COVID-19 will start to phase-out.1 The pressure of the trade struggles with the East is already creating an interest for reshoring electronic manufacturing. Nano Dimension technology is ideally positioned as our 3D printing machines for Hi-PEDs™ are an environmentally friendly non-polluting fabrication and overnight prototyping methodology, fitting for setting up fabrication facilities in-house on the western continents.”

Mr. Stern concluded: “As per above, we are not judging, at this point, our success by quarterly revenues. That will come later. Nano Dimension operates along an expected fail-safe investment model, where upside may resemble Biotech investments, but, contrary to those, downside in case of failure at any stage is somewhat hedged and hence protected. We have sold 60 machines already, mostly to leading blue chip defense, academic and commercial organizations worldwide. It is reasonable to assume that in case a decision is made at the right time, a sale of our existing business at improving multiples, as per future stages, is a doable task. On the upside, an exponential growth post COVID-19 may lead us to an unprecedented leadership role. Our future “Stages” as defined at this point (subject to adjustment based on advancement in R&D) are: Stage I: Materials at Commercial-Specs, Stage II: Materials at Industrial-Specs, Stage III: Materials at Mil-Specs, Stage IV: Low Production Volume 3D-System, Stage V: Medium Production Volume 3D-System.” 

1
IDTechEX (2019): The total market for 3D printed electronics will be worth $2.3 billion by 2029 and will be dominated by the professional PCB prototyping market segment. The educational and industrial production market segments will continue to grow steadily.
The market for professional PCB prototyping is currently growing very rapidly, almost entirely due to market leader Nano Dimension, and has already overtaken the consumer and education. This growth will slow but this market segment will become the largest by 2020.
DataM Intelligence (2018): Analysts predict 3D printed electronics will be the next high-growth application for product innovation: 2017 3D printed electronics market size is estimated at $176 million, expected to reach $592 million in 2021 and up to $2.4 billion by 2025.
Transparency Market Research (2018): The global 3D printed electronics market was valued at US$ 137.1 million in 2017 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 44.46% from 2018 to 2026, reaching $ 3.9 billion by the end of the forecast period. 
  
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

  • Total revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $438,000, compared to $288,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $2,243,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease is attributed to continuing delays in identified transactions of DragonFly systems, which the Company primarily attributes to the impact of COVID-19.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $2,556,000, compared to $1,895,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $2,083,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is attributed to an increase in payroll and related expenses, as the Company is temporarily shifting resources from sales and marketing to product enhancements, as well as an increase in share-based payment expenses.
  • Sales and marketing (S&M) expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $2,475,000, compared to $930,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $1,217,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses.
  • General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $14,805,000, compared to $908,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $799,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses. In the third quarter of 2020, we recognized share-based payment expenses of approximately $13,617,000 with respect to warrants granted to our CEO and President and to one of our directors.    
  • Net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $20,716,000, or $0.45 per share, compared to $8,265,000, or $0.27 per share, in the second quarter of 2020, and $4,308,000, or $1.21 per share, in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is mainly attributed to share-based payment expenses of approximately $15,852,000 that were recognized in the third quarter of 2020. 



Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Financial Results

  • Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $1,428,000, compared to $5,093,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is attributed to less sales of DragonFly systems, which the Company primarily attributes to the impact of COVID-19.
  • R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $6,153,000, compared to $6,557,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in payroll and related expenses and materials expenses, partially offset by an increase in share-based payment expenses.        
  • S&M expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $4,224,000, compared to $4,088,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses, partially offset by a decrease in marketing and advertising expenses.         
  • G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $16,748,000, compared to $2,389,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized share-based payment expenses of approximately $13,617,000 with respect to warrants granted to our CEO and President and to one of our directors.         
  • Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $31,055,000, or $1.11 per share, compared to $6,972,000, or $2.08 per share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is mainly attributed to share-based payment expenses of approximately $16,797,000 that were recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 



Balance Sheet Highlights

 

  • Cash and cash equivalents, together with short and long-term bank deposits totaled $45,720,000 as of September 30, 2020, compared to $3,894,000 as of December 31, 2019. The increase compared to December 31, 2019, mainly reflects proceeds received from the sale of American Depositary Shares representing the Company’s ordinary shares, less cash used in operations, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 
  • Shareholders’ equity totaled $52,691,000 as of September 30, 2020, compared to $11,602,000 as of December 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA     (10,991 )     (8,411 )     (2,866 )     (3,373 )     (13,423 )

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before interest expense (income), income tax, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA, as described above, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively) and EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to the items mentioned above.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before non-cash financial expense (income), income tax, depreciation and amortization, and share based payments. Non-cash financial expenses (income), net include exchange rate differences, finance expense (income) for revaluation of liability in respect of government grants, finance expense (income) for revaluation of liability in respect of warrants and rights to purchase, as well as changes in lease liability. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, should also be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. Like EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting non-cash financial expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively), as well as from share-based payment expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it’s widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to non-cash items, such as expenses related to share based payments.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.

(AABB), through its wholly owned subsidiary Asia Metals Inc., announced today that the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and has agreed to the terms of a development agreement with a digital assets and crypto wallet creator to produce a gold-backed cryptocurrency coin.

    an
    industry leader with over 20 years’ experience in enterprise health and wellness

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, OTCQB: DOCRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “Company” or “CloudMD”), a telehealth company revolutionizing the delivery of healthcare to patients, is excited to announce that it has launched an Enterprise Health Solutions Division designed to create engagement and enable patients through personalized health and wellbeing solutions. Karen Adams, Chief Health Innovation Officer will lead the new division and assume the additional role of Global Head of Enterprise Health Solutions. Karen is a subject matter expert in enterprise health and wellness programs and brings over 20 years’ experience developing industry leading mental health and wellness programs for some of the largest corporations and insurers in Canada, including Morneau Shepell and Shepell.fgi.

Karen Adams, Global Head, Enterprise
Health
Solutions commented, “Employers are looking for agile,wellbeing initiatives that positively impact the employee experience.We have been able to acquire organizations who are leaders in mental and physical health. It is evident that employers are looking for programs that recognize the unique needs of each individual and that personalizes their healthcarejourney. Our philosophy is to provide access to better care by leveraging technology to ensure continuity of evidenced based care through a multidisciplinary team-based approach. CloudMD is at the forefront of taking leading valuebased care and ensuring that an individual is accessing reliable resources to improve their wellbeing whether they are at work, off work, recovering or returning to work. Our inclusive approach drives employee engagement and will enable employers and employees to thrive.”

In 2019, Health spending in Canada was approximately $264 billion, with 30% representing private-sector spending1. Furthermore, Canadians spend almost a billion dollars ($950 million) on counselling services each year2 and lose approximately $2.1 billion in wages due to long wait times for healthcare services3. Many do not receive the full scope of care they need and end up cycling through the acute care system. As organizations focus on issues relating to equality, diversity, inclusion, and mental health in managing employee health concerns it’s apparent that the way group benefits programs are administered needs to change. In the current system, employers are burdened with a siloed approach to managing health and wellbeing, and are using various stand-alone, single issue solutions to address their employees’ healthcare needs. CloudMD recognizes the market needs to integrate disconnected health and wellbeing benefits with technology enabled services to ensure increased access and continuity of care.

CloudMD will be offering clients a connected system of health solutions that recognizes the unique needs of each person. The program starts with a personal assessment (to determine each employee’s unique social, physical and mental health needs) and designs a personalized navigation care plan. All programs use progressive measurement and evidenced based care which results in better health outcomes. This transformational approach to employee health and wellbeing is enabled through the strategic acquisitions of leading healthcare solutions Re:Function, Snapclarity, HumanaCare, Medical Confidence, and iMD Health. Coupled with CloudMD’s virtual care, primary care and allied health network, the centralized platform creates an integrated solution to help employers address their workforce’s holistic health and wellness. CloudMD’s enterprise health solutions leverage both public and private funding which optimizes employer’s health and wellness spend.

Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO comments, “Our Enterprise Health SolutionsDivision aims to break down the barriers of traditional healthcare by providing one comprehensive platform to address all modalities of health and wellness and offer enterprise clients a one stop shop for their employee benefit plans. Our mission is to provide holistic, patient focused care, and through our team-based approach we are able to provide better access to care and a personalized plan that encompasses the patient’s entire healthcare journey.We are revolutionizing the delivery of healthcare and aim to partner with clients to deliver greater value and impact, while optimizing their investment in health and wellness.
