“Our cluster strategy has long focused on premium brands in attractive growth markets with high-revenue rooftops where we can leverage scale and expand margins,” said Daryl Kenningham, President and Chief Executive Officer of Group 1 Automotive. “Building on a strategy we have executed successfully across our largest markets, including Houston and Boston, this acquisition significantly expands our presence in the growing Atlanta market and creates new opportunities to enhance operational efficiency and deliver attractive, long-term returns.

“For 62 years, our family company has been a cornerstone of the Atlanta automotive community, excelling in vehicle sales, servicing and leasing,” said Peter Hennessy. “Under Group 1’s stewardship, I know this strong legacy and deep commitment to Atlanta will continue. Group 1 shares our customer-focused philosophy, which will remain the foundation as they move our dealerships into the future.”

The Hennessy acquisition is valued at approximately $1.3 billion inclusive of blue sky, real estate and operating assets. Group 1 plans to finance the transaction with new debt, backstopped by a bridge commitment.

The transaction is expected to close by year-end 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, OEM approvals and customary closing conditions.

We remain focused on disciplined execution that will continue to drive sustainable value for our shareholders.”

“To that end, earlier today we announced our intent to acquire Hennessy Automobile Companies which, along with two additional dealership acquisitions, will boost our presence to 15 dealerships in Atlanta.

Corporate Development

Today, in a separate press release, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the 10 dealerships of the Hennessy Automobile Companies, located in the Atlanta market. The Company expects the transaction to close by year-end 2026, subject to regulatory and OEM approvals, as well as other customary closing conditions, and generate approximately $1.7 billion in annual revenues. For additional information, see the Company’s separate press release and Current Report on Form 8-K filed in connection with this transaction.

During the current quarter, the Company acquired four dealerships in the U.S., two of which were acquired as part of a back-to-back transaction with the intention of reselling them concurrently with or shortly after acquisition. These two dealerships were classified as assets held for sale as of the end of the current quarter. The Company completed the disposition of these dealerships in July 2026. The two retained dealerships, Stone Mountain Toyota and Stone Mountain Honda, also located in the Atlanta market, are expected to generate approximately $205 million in annual revenues.

Year to date, the Company has acquired and successfully integrated dealership operations with total expected annual revenues of approximately $340 million. The Company remains focused on efficiently and effectively integrating acquisitions into existing operations to create value for shareholders.

During the current quarter, the Company disposed of four Jaguar/Land Rover dealerships in the U.K. These dealerships generated approximately $330 million in annual revenues, bringing year-to-date total annualized revenues associated with dealership dispositions for the Company to $900 million.

As previously announced, the Company entered into an agreement with Chinese automaker Geely to expand its U.K. network through three new locations. The first Geely franchise opened in June 2026, with the remaining two locations expected to open later in the year.

Share Repurchases

The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the current quarter. During the current year, the Company repurchased 205,190 shares of common stock, representing approximately 1.7% of shares outstanding as of January 1, 2026, at an average price of $353.08 per share, for a total cost of $72.4 million, excluding excise taxes of $0.5 million.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 11,925,913 shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock awards outstanding in the aggregate, and $306.3 million remaining under its Board authorized share repurchase program.

Future repurchases may be made from time to time, based on market conditions, legal requirements and other corporate considerations in the open market, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or in privately negotiated transactions, and subject to Board approval and covenant restrictions.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.



NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES, SAME STORE DATA, AND OTHER DATA

In addition to evaluating the financial condition and results of our operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP, from time to time our management evaluates and analyzes results and any impact on the Company of strategic decisions and actions relating to, among other things, cost reduction, growth, profitability improvement initiatives, and other events outside of normal, or “core,” business and operations, by considering alternative financial measures not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our evaluation of results from time to time, we exclude items that do not arise directly from core operations, such as non-cash asset impairment charges, out-of-period adjustments, legal matters, gains and losses on dealership franchise or real estate transactions, and catastrophic events, such as hailstorms, hurricanes and snow storms. Because these non-core charges and gains materially affect the Company’s financial condition or results in the specific period in which they are recognized, management also evaluates, and makes resource allocation and performance evaluation decisions based on, the related non-GAAP measures excluding such items. This includes evaluating measures such as adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating margin, adjusted pretax margin and constant currency. These adjusted measures are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, but are instead considered non-GAAP financial performance measures. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under U.S. GAAP and may be defined differently by, and not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by, other companies. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures considered and evaluated by management are reviewed in conjunction with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

In addition to using such non-GAAP measures to evaluate results in a specific period, management believes that such measures may provide more complete and consistent comparisons of operational performance on a period-over-period historical basis and a better indication of expected future trends. Our management also uses these adjusted measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including communication with our Board of Directors, investors, and industry analysts concerning financial performance. We disclose these non-GAAP measures, and the related reconciliations, because we believe investors use these metrics in evaluating longer-term period-over-period performance, and to allow investors to better understand and evaluate the information used by management to assess operating performance. The exclusion of certain expenses in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. We anticipate excluding these expenses in the future presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures.

In addition, we evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our underlying business and results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period reported results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars using comparative period exchange rates rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. The constant currency performance measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Same Store amounts presented include the results of dealerships for the identical months in each period presented in comparison, commencing with the first full month in which the dealership was owned by us and, in the case of dispositions, ending with the last full month it was owned by us. Same Store results also include the activities of our corporate headquarters.

Certain amounts in the financial statements may not compute due to rounding. All computations have been calculated using unrounded amounts for all periods presented.

Yum China Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

PR Newswire

Revenue Increased by 13%; Operating Profit Up 14%; Diluted EPS Grew 21%
Same-Store Sales Growth Improved Sequentially to 1%; OP Margin Expanded Year Over Year for the 9th Consecutive Quarter
Acquisition of the Pizza Hut Brand in Mainland China Expected to Close in August 2026
On Track to Return $1.5 Billion to Shareholders in 2026, ~10% of Current Market Capitalization

SHANGHAI, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Yum China”) (NYSE: YUMC and HKEX: 9987) today reported unaudited results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Total system sales grew 6% year over year (“YoY”), excluding foreign currency translation (“F/X”).
  • Same-store sales grew 1% YoY. Same-store transactions grew 5% YoY, the 14th consecutive quarter of growth.
  • Total revenues increased 13% YoY to $3.1 billion, or a 6% increase excluding F/X.
  • Opened 560 net new stores, a second-quarter record high and 67% higher than the openings in the same quarter last year, with 41% opened by franchisees. As of June 30, 2026, total store count reached 19,297, with 18% of stores operated by franchisees.
  • Operating profit grew 14% YoY to $348 million, a second-quarter record high. Core operating profit grew 7% YoY.
  • OP margin was 11.1%, an increase of 20 basis points YoY, the ninth consecutive quarter of OP margin expansion.
  • Restaurant margin was 16.1%, flat YoY, primarily due to increased rider cost from a higher delivery mix, offset by streamlined operations.
  • Diluted EPS increased 21% YoY to $0.70, or up 14% excluding F/X, and up 10% further excluding the impact(1) of the mark-to-market equity investments.
  • Returned $402 million to shareholders through $301 million in share repurchases and $101 million in cash dividends.
  • Delivery sales grew 26% YoY. Delivery contributed approximately 54% of total Company sales, up from 45% in the same quarter last year.
  • Active Members of KFC or Pizza Hut, defined as those who transacted in the past 12 months, exceeded 270 million, representing a 6% YoY increase.

CEO Comments 

Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China, commented, “We delivered strong results in the second quarter. For the ninth consecutive quarter, we simultaneously grew system sales, operating profit and OP margin. While the operating environment remains dynamic, our topline growth continued to outperform the industry in Q2. Same-store sales growth improved sequentially to 1%, led by the 14th consecutive quarter of same-store transaction growth, while store openings continued to accelerate year over year across both company-owned and franchise stores. KFC delivered strong results, with 7% system sales growth and restaurant margin expansion. Pizza Hut’s same-store sales returned to positive growth and net new openings nearly doubled from last year.”

Wat continued, “Our menu innovations and breakthrough side-by-side modules are helping us broaden into new occasions and new customer segments. As we rapidly roll out KCOFFEE cafe, KPRO and car-side pickup services to more KFC locations, Pizza Hut has also built a Pizza Hut Burger Bar to drive incremental sales and profit. At the same time, our KFC Small Town and Pizza Hut WOW models are helping us deepen penetration in lower-tier cities. With our multiple growth drivers, we are confident in our ability to lead the catering industry and deliver on our full-year growth targets, even as we face tougher comparisons in the second half of the year following last year’s delivery platform subsidies.”

Wat concluded, “We are about to reach a major breakthrough by becoming the owner of the Pizza Hut brand in Mainland China, after operating the brand in the market for 36 years. In the near term, we expect the savings in license fees to support margin expansion, with Pizza Hut’s restaurant margin approaching KFC’s. More potential new stores are expected to meet our payback requirements of two to three years. Over the longer term, brand ownership will give us greater strategic flexibility to capture new opportunities and innovate more nimbly across our menu, store formats, new business modules and operations. We expect this to accelerate Pizza Hut’s growth trajectory and generate sustainable long-term value for our shareholders.”


(1) Refers to a 4 cents favorable F/X impact, and a lower mark-to-market loss of 2 cents in the second quarter of 2026, compared with a loss of 4 cents in the second quarter of 2025.

Same-store transactions grew 4% YoY. Ticket average was 3% lower YoY, mainly due to incremental smaller orders from new customer segments and occasions, including KCOFFEE and KPRO.
  • Delivery sales grew 26% YoY, contributing approximately 54% of KFC’s Company sales, up from 45% in the same quarter last year.
  • KFC opened 335 net new stores during the quarter, including 152 opened by franchisees, representing 45% of net new store openings. Total store count reached 13,789 as of June 30, 2026, with 17% of stores operated by franchisees.

  • OP margin was 14.2%, an increase of 20 basis points YoY.
  • Restaurant margin was 17.1%, an increase of 20 basis points YoY, primarily due to streamlined operations and favorable commodity prices, partially offset by the impact of increased rider cost resulting from higher delivery mix and value-for-money offerings.

  • System sales for Pizza Hut grew 6% YoY, improving sequentially from 4% in the first quarter. Same-store sales growth returned to positive at 1%. Same-store transactions grew 13% YoY, marking the 14th consecutive quarter of growth, and more than offset the 11% decline in ticket average. In line with our mass-market strategy, ticket average moved closer to our target range, primarily driven by value-for-money offerings and incremental smaller orders such as those from solo diners.
  • Delivery sales grew 26% YoY, contributing approximately 52% of Pizza Hut’s Company sales, up from 43% in the same quarter last year.
  • Pizza Hut opened 174 net new stores during the quarter, nearly double the net openings in the same quarter last year, including 70 opened by franchisees, representing 40% of net new store openings. Total store count reached 4,549 as of June 30, 2026, with 11% of stores operated by franchisees.
  • Operating profit grew 11% YoY to $51 million. Core operating profit increased 5% YoY.
  • OP margin was 8.3%, flat YoY. OP margin expanded by 60 bps YoY in the first half of the year.
  • Restaurant margin was 12.9%, a decrease of 40 basis points YoY, primarily due to the impact of increased costs associated with higher delivery sales mix, value-for-money offerings and investment in Pizza Hut Burger Bar, partially offset by streamlined operations, automation and favorable commodity prices. Restaurant margin increased by 10 basis points YoY in the first half of the year.

2026 Outlook

The Company targets:

  • Total stores of over 20,000, or more than 1,900 net new stores.
  • 40-50% franchise mix of net new stores for both KFC and Pizza Hut.
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $600 million to $700 million.
  • $1.5 billion capital return to shareholders.

Other Update

  • The Company is on track to close the acquisition of the Pizza Hut brand in Mainland China in August and plans to secure an approximately $1.2 billion equivalent offshore bridge loan to finance the transaction.

In this press release:

  • Certain performance metrics and non-GAAP measures are presented excluding the impact of foreign currency translation (“F/X”). These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the F/X impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations.
  • System sales growth reflects the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including Company-owned and franchise restaurants that operate our restaurant concepts, except for non-Company-owned restaurants for which we do not receive a sales-based royalty. Sales of franchise restaurants typically generate ongoing franchise fees for the Company at an average rate of approximately 6% of system sales. Franchise restaurant sales are not included in Company sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; however, the franchise fees are included in the Company’s revenues. We believe system sales growth is useful to investors as a significant indicator of the overall strength of our business as it incorporates all of our revenue drivers, Company and franchise same-store sales as well as net unit growth.
  • Effective January 1, 2018, the Company revised its definition of same-store sales growth to represent the estimated percentage change in sales of food of all restaurants in the Company system that have been open prior to the first day of our prior fiscal year, excluding the period during which stores are temporarily closed. We refer to these as our “base” stores. Previously, same-store sales growth represented the estimated percentage change in sales of all restaurants in the Company system that have been open for one year or more, including stores temporarily closed, and the base stores changed on a rolling basis from month to month. This revision was made to align with how management measures performance internally and focuses on trends of a more stable base of stores.

Reconciliation of Reported GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Measures

(in millions, except per share data)

(unaudited)

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in this press release, the Company provides the following non-GAAP measures:

  • Measures adjusted for Special Items, which include Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share (“EPS”), Adjusted Effective Tax Rate and Adjusted EBITDA;
  • Company Restaurant Profit (“Restaurant profit”) and Restaurant margin;
  • Core Operating Profit and Core OP margin, which exclude Special Items, and further adjusted for Items Affecting Comparability and the impact of F/X;

These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present results, excluding those items that the Company does not believe are indicative of our core operations.

With respect to non-GAAP measures adjusted for Special Items, the Company excludes impact from Special Items for the purpose of evaluating performance internally and uses them as factors in determining compensation for certain employees. Special Items are not included in any of our segment results.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income including noncontrolling interests adjusted for equity in net earnings (losses) from equity method investments, income tax, interest income, net, investment gain or loss, depreciation and amortization, store impairment charges, and Special Items. Store impairment charges included as an adjustment item in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from our semi-annual impairment evaluation of long-lived assets of individual restaurants, and additional impairment evaluation whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If these restaurant-level assets were not impaired, depreciation of the assets would have been recorded and included in EBITDA. Therefore, store impairment charges were a non-cash item similar to depreciation and amortization of our long-lived assets of restaurants. The Company believes that investors and analysts may find it useful in measuring operating performance without regard to such non-cash items.

Restaurant Profit is defined as Company sales less expenses incurred directly by our Company-owned restaurants in generating Company sales, including cost of food and paper, restaurant-level payroll and employee benefits, rent, depreciation and amortization of restaurant-level assets, advertising expenses, and other operating expenses. Company restaurant margin percentage is defined as Restaurant profit divided by Company sales. We also use Restaurant profit and Restaurant margin for the purposes of internally evaluating the performance of our Company-owned restaurants and we believe they provide useful information to investors as to the profitability of our Company-owned restaurants.

Core Operating Profit is defined as Operating Profit adjusted for Special Items, and further excluding Items Affecting Comparability and the impact of F/X. We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as significantly impacting the current period or the comparable period, due to changes in policy or other external factors, or non-cash items pertaining to underlying activities that are different from or unrelated to our core operations, are generally considered “Items Affecting Comparability.” Examples of Items Affecting Comparability include, but are not limited to: temporary relief from landlords and government agencies; VAT deductions due to tax policy changes; and amortization of reacquired franchise rights recognized upon acquisitions. We believe presenting Core Operating Profit provides additional information to further enhance comparability of our operating results and we use this measure for purposes of evaluating the performance of our core operations. Core OP margin is defined as Core Operating Profit divided by Total revenues, excluding the impact of F/X.

The following tables set forth the reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliation of GAAP Operating Profit to Restaurant Profit and Core Operating Profit by segment is presented in Segment Results within this release.

Germany Reflects a Balanced Path to Connected Living as Demand for Transparency and Control Grows

Germany Reflects a Balanced Path to Connected Living as Demand for Transparency and Control Grows

Assurant’s 2026 Global Connected Consumer Trends Report shows that consumers are placing greater emphasis on clear value, customization, and self-directed support as connected technology becomes more central to daily life

BONN, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Assurant, Inc. (NYSE: AIZ), a global company that redefines the boundaries of protection – safeguarding and servicing connected devices, homes, automobiles, and commercial equipment in partnership with the world’s most successful brands, today highlighted Germany-specific insights from its 2026 Global Connected Consumer Trends Report, underscoring broader global shifts in how connected technology is becoming essential to everyday life. The findings show Germany reflecting a balanced and pragmatic approach to technology adoption, with a Technology Sentiment Index (TSI) score of 63, close to the global average, signaling steady confidence alongside a strong focus on transparency, value, and control.

In Germany, connected technology is widely recognized as beneficial, with 77 percent of consumers saying it has improved their lives. At the same time, adoption is shaped by clear expectations—consumers want technology that is transparent in pricing, reliable in performance, and aligned with their need for control over how it is used and supported.

As connected devices become more central to daily activities, expectations for seamless experiences continue to rise. Even common issues—such as connectivity, Wi-Fi pairing, or storage limitations—can interrupt everyday tasks, reinforcing the importance of consistent performance and effective support.

In this environment, customizable protection is emerging as a key differentiator. German consumers show strong interest in flexible solutions, with 82 percent saying customizable protection increases their likelihood of purchasing and keeping a plan, and 80 percent saying it enhances their perception of the brand. This reflects a clear preference for protection that is transparent, relevant, and tailored to individual needs—particularly as AI-enabled devices drive greater complexity.

“Connected technology is becoming more central to everyday life globally, but what matters most now is how well these experiences adapt to individual needs — balancing innovation with simplicity, trust, and reliability,” said Federico Bunge, President, International at Assurant. “In Germany, adoption is shaped by a strong preference for control and clarity, with consumers expecting dependable performance and straightforward, self-directed experiences.”

German consumers are also highly independent in managing their technology. Many prefer to resolve issues themselves or through accessible resources such as online videos or peer guidance, highlighting demand for straightforward, efficient self-service support that enables control and minimizes disruption.

“Germany’s results highlight the priorities shaping connected living across Europe—transparency, value, and control. Consumers increasingly expect technology experiences that are simple, reliable, and tailored to their needs. As connected devices become more central to daily life, delivering flexible protection and intuitive support will be critical to building trust and long-term customer loyalty,” said Felipe Sanchez, President, Assurant Europe.

As part of Assurant’s 2026 Global Connected Consumer Trends Report, Germany’s insights reflect a broader shift where connected technology is becoming essential to everyday life, and expectations for transparent, reliable, and seamlessly supported experiences continue to grow.

Rosen Law Firm Logo

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of common stock of Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCOI) between February 29, 2024 and May 1, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 21, 2026.

So what: If you purchased Cogent Communications common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the Cogent Communications class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/cogent-communications-holdings-inc-2026/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 21, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the vast majority of the purported orders in Cogent’s optical wavelength “backlog” were unlikely to ever result in a paid order; (2) large quantities of the customers in Cogent’s purported optical wavelength “backlog” were unable or unwilling to accept delivery even if Cogent was in a position to provision the wavelength in a timely manner; (3) as a result of the foregoing, defendants had materially misrepresented customer demand for Cogent’s optical wavelength services and the nature of Cogent’s purported “backlog” of wavelength orders; (4) as a result of the foregoing, Cogent was not on track to achieve its revenue and margin targets and such targets lacked a reasonable basis in objective fact; (5) Cogent did not have the financial capacity or business fundamentals to maintain its long-standing dividend policy; and (6) there was a material, undisclosed risk that defendant David Schaeffer would be forced to sell vast quantities of Cogent stock as a result of his high-risk pledging activities, thereby further depressing the price of Cogent stock in the event the truth regarding Cogent’s “backlog,” demand issues, and financial position were ever revealed. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Greenlight Innovation Syndicate 3456 Progresses to Full Lloyd’s Syndicate

GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. (Nasdaq: GLRE) (“Greenlight Re” or the “Company”) announced today that Greenlight Innovation Syndicate 3456 (“Syndicate 3456”) has received “in principle” approval from Lloyd’s to become a full Lloyd’s syndicate, with effect from January 1, 2027.

Syndicate 3456, which writes Greenlight Re Innovations business with a focus on Coverholder partnerships, began underwriting as a Syndicate-in-a-Box on April 1, 2022, with the support of third-party managing agent Asta.

Over the last four years, Syndicate 3456 has successfully developed a unique portfolio of Innovations business, which is highly differentiated. Syndicate 3456 has returned an underwriting profit each year and provides the Insurtech companies within the Greenlight Re Innovations client portfolio with access to the Lloyd’s platform, international licensing and rating.

The transition to full syndicate will allow Syndicate 3456 to continue to support innovative Coverholders as well as more traditional Coverholder business, and the evolution is expected to produce increased gross written premium volume within Syndicate 3456.

Greg Richardson, Greenlight Re CEO, said:

“Syndicate 3456 has been a key part of our Innovations strategy over the last four years. We are excited to transition to full syndicate status for 2027 and to have the opportunity to expand our offering to clients and brokers beyond our Innovations business. While Innovations business will remain the primary focus of Syndicate 3456, our Lloyd’s plan will expand to write some more traditional delegated underwriting authority and consortia business, as well as a limited amount of treaty reinsurance. Lloyd’s is a key part of our overall strategy and the transition to full syndicate status cements our strong position in the Lloyd’s market.”

Lorraine Harfitt, Asta CEO, added:

“We are delighted that Greenlight Innovation Syndicate 3456 has received approval from Lloyd’s to become a full syndicate. Since launching as a Syndicate-in-a-Box in 2022 they have built a strong underwriting platform in Lloyd’s which has excelled in developing a portfolio of Innovations business. The transition to a full syndicate is a fantastic milestone and is testament to the strength of the Greenlight Re Innovations strategy and team. At Asta we are incredibly proud to have played a part in that journey and to continue to support Syndicate 3456 as it grows and establishes itself further in the market.”

About Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd.

Greenlight Re (www.greenlightre.com) provides multiline property and casualty insurance and reinsurance through its licensed and regulated reinsurance entities in the Cayman Islands and Ireland, and its Lloyd’s platform, Greenlight Innovation Syndicate 3456. The Company complements its underwriting activities with a non-traditional investment approach designed to achieve higher rates of return over the long term than reinsurance companies that exclusively employ more traditional investment strategies. The Company’s innovations unit, Greenlight Re Innovations, supports technology innovators in the (re)insurance space by providing investment capital, risk capacity, and access to a broad insurance network.

Quintas Energy Selects Box to Build AI-Ready Content Platform for Renewable Energy Asset Management

Quintas Energy Selects Box to Build AI-Ready Content Platform for Renewable Energy Asset Management

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Quintas Energy, the global platform of independent asset management services to the renewable energy sector, today announced it has selected Box, Inc. (NYSE: BOX) as its Intelligent Content Management (ICM) platform to support its broader 2026 digital transformation program. The partnership forms part of Quintas Energy’s strategy to strengthen the digital foundations that support the management of increasingly complex renewable energy portfolios, where documentation, data governance, and operational workflows play a critical role in asset performance, compliance, and decision-making.

As renewable energy portfolios grow in size, geographical reach, and technical complexity, asset managers are required to coordinate larger volumes of contractual, technical, financial, regulatory, and operational documentation across multiple stakeholders.

Quintas Energy is partnering with Box to establish a secure, intelligent content layer. This modernised infrastructure will integrate with its proprietary platform, and AI programme to capture, classify, and govern business-critical documentation, seamlessly connecting it to operational workflows.

“At Quintas Energy, we see AI as a transformative enabler of the future of asset management, but its value depends on the quality, structure, and governance of the information behind it,” said Aida Durnes, COO at Quintas. “Our priority is to build robust digital foundations that allow us to unlock AI-driven insights across our operations. By connecting content, data and workflows more intelligently, our ambition is to empower our teams to become ‘super managers’ that are able to make faster, more informed decisions, enhance asset performance, and reinforce Quintas Energy’s position at the forefront of innovation in the renewable energy sector.”

Box Enterprise Advanced will significantly accelerate client and asset onboarding—processes typically slowed by high volumes of technical, financial, and compliance documentation. By establishing a structured, intelligent content environment, Box will reduce manual coordination, improve data quality, and speed up the transition to operational readiness.

Future capabilities are expected to deliver significant value through Box’s advanced enterprise capabilities across four key areas:

  • Automate and accelerate mission-critical workflows by streamlining end-to-end, content-centric business processes directly on Box using intelligent, no-code apps, forms, document generation and workflow automation with Box Automate.
  • Boost productivity with flexible, enterprise-grade AI by leveraging Box AI to deploy tailored AI agents, and Box Extract for automated metadata extraction to eliminate manual data entry.
  • Protect and govern critical content at scale with Box’s advanced AI-powered security, intelligent classification, compliant content preservation, and long-term archival capabilities to meet regulatory, and enterprise requirements.
  • Build and extend custom content experiences using the Box’s developer tools, MCP connectors, expanded API allowances, and large file support to create tailored applications, integrations, and seamless automations—all backed by enhanced enterprise support.

“Quintas Energy is redefining document management for asset management with the power of AI, transforming it from a back-office function into a strategic capability that intelligently connects documentation, assets, and operations,” said Samantha Wessels, SVP and General Manager for EMEA at Box. “As Quintas Energy advances its AI-first strategy by establishing Box as the secure content layer for its wider digitalisation program, we’re proud to support this transformation, and help create a digital environment tailored to the complex needs of asset managers, powered by Box’s enterprise-grade AI.”

Western Europe’s Fashion E-commerce Market Matures, Representing 20% of Online Consumer Spending as Gen Z Drives momentum

Western Europe’s Fashion E-commerce Market Matures, Representing 20% of Online Consumer Spending as Gen Z Drives momentum

Second-hand platforms and value-focused retailers are disrupting Western Europe’s fashion market, which accounts for nearly one-fifth of online spending

PARIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Fashion remains one of the largest and most resilient categories in Western European e-commerce, accounting for approximately 20% of online consumer spending across key markets, according to the latest NIQ (NYSE: NIQ) report, Decoding the Fashion E-commerce European Market in 2026. The study analyzes the behaviour of more than 2 million online shoppers across 10 European countries, providing one of the most comprehensive views of the region’s online fashion landscape.

While fashion continues to play a central role in e-commerce, the category is entering a new phase of maturity. Across Europe, total e-commerce sales grew by 5% over the past year, compared with 3% growth for online fashion sales, highlighting the need for brands and retailers to find new avenues for growth.

Key findings of the report:

Fashion remains a core e-commerce category

  • Fashion represents around one-fifth of total online spending across Western Europe.

  • It remains one of the largest e-commerce sectors, second only to hi-tech purchases in many markets.

  • Despite its scale, category growth is moderating as consumers are becoming more cautious and selective in what they are buying.

Market fragmentation is accelerating

The European fashion e-commerce market is becoming increasingly fragmented, with consumers shopping across a growing mix of platforms and business models. Established fashion specialists now compete alongside marketplaces, direct-to-consumer brands, off-price players, second-hand platforms and social commerce channels.

Major operators such as Zalando, Amazon, Vinted, Shein, Temu and TikTok Shop are serving different consumer needs from value and convenience to brand discovery, sustainability and curated shopping experiences.

Gen Z demand for value and discovery

Growth is increasingly driven by younger consumers, particularly Generation Z, who are influencing trends, platform choice, and purchasing behaviour across the region.

At the same time, older consumers remain highly valuable. While shoppers aged 18–29 account for a growing share of fashion buyers, consumers aged 40–44 continue to generate some of the highest annual spending levels, creating opportunities for premium brands and omnichannel retailers.

Sportswear continues to outperform the wider market

Sportswear remains one of the strongest-performing segments in European fashion.

  • 71% of sportswear brands recorded growth over the past year, compared with 51% of fashion brands overall.

  • The rise of Gorpcore the trend that blends outdoor and technical apparel with everyday fashion is creating new opportunities for brands.

  • Gorpcore shoppers spend significantly more than traditional activewear buyers and continue to deliver above-average growth rates.

Black Friday remains a critical growth moment

Promotional events continue to play an important role in fashion e-commerce performance.

  • Black Friday now accounts for 9% of annual online fashion sales in Europe.
  • Fashion remains one of the most purchased categories during the event.

  • Consumers are increasingly willing to try new brands during promotional periods, making Black Friday a key acquisition opportunity for retailers.

Second-hand fashion moves into the mainstream

The report highlights that resale is no longer a niche segment but a structural growth driver within fashion e-commerce. Consumers are increasingly embracing pre-owned apparel as a way to combine value, sustainability and access to premium brands.

This trend is particularly pronounced among younger shoppers, who are more likely to incorporate both new and second-hand fashion within their purchasing journeys. As a result, resale platforms are becoming an increasingly important part of the competitive ecosystem alongside traditional retailers and marketplaces.

A market entering its next stage of evolution

Ismail El Ouardirhi, Sales Director Omnicommerce Solutions, commented “The next phase of fashion e-commerce growth in Western Europe will be driven by shifting consumer attention and wallet share, with Gen Z shoppers, the rise of resale, and value-led platforms reshaping the market. As consumer journeys become increasingly fluid and influenced by identity, comfort, and inspiration, brands that deeply understand evolving shopper preferences will be well positioned to drive discovery and conversion.”

About the study

Decoding the Fashion E-commerce European Market in 2026 is based on NIQ Digital Purchases data covering more than 2 million online shoppers across Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Learn more about this study here.
