About Kura Oncology

Kura Oncology is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to realizing the promise of precision medicines for the treatment of cancer. The Company’s pipeline consists of small molecule drug candidates designed to target cancer signaling pathways. Ziftomenib, a once-daily, oral menin inhibitor, is the first and only investigational therapy to receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (“R/R”) NPM1-mutant acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”).

Enrollment in a Phase 2 registration-directed trial of ziftomenib in R/R NPM1-mutant AML has been completed, and in the second quarter of 2025, the companies announced submission of a New Drug Application for ziftomenib for the treatment of adult patients with R/R NPM1-mutant AML. Kura Oncology and Kyowa Kirin are also conducting a series of clinical trials to evaluate ziftomenib in combination with current standards of care in newly diagnosed and R/R NPM1-mutant and KMT2A-rearranged AML. KO-2806, a next-generation farnesyl transferase inhibitor, is being evaluated in a Phase 1 dose-escalation trial as a monotherapy and in combination with targeted therapies for patients with various solid tumors. Tipifarnib, a potent and selective farnesyl transferase inhibitor, is currently in a Phase 1/2 trial in combination with alpelisib for patients with PIK3CA-dependent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Genie Energy Announces First Quarter 2025 Results

Newark, NJ, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Genie Energy, Ltd. (NYSE: GNE), a leading retail energy and renewable energy solutions provider, today announced results for the first quarter of 2025. 

Michael Stein, Chief Executive Officer of Genie Energy, commented: 

“Our first quarter featured strong operational and financial results, highlighted by robust increases in revenue, profitability and cash generation compared to the year ago quarter.

“At GRE, the significant investments we made in 2024 to expand our customer base drove a year-over-year increase of over 48,000 net new meters. We ended the quarter with approximately 413,000 meters served comprising 402,000 RCEs. Customer base growth in combination with a stable pricing environment enabled GRE to generate an 18% increase in both revenue and income from operations compared to the year ago quarter.

“At GREW, we continue to advance our utility-scale project pipeline including the construction of our first community solar project in Lansing, New York. The Lansing array is on track for completion as early as the third quarter of this year. We expect it will become EBITDA accretive immediately once online.”

“During the first quarter, we again returned value directly to our stockholders, repurchasing approximately 127,000 shares and paying our regular quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the First Quarter of 2025

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), Genie Energy disclosed Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and for GRE and disclosed Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to Genie Energy Ltd. Common Stockholders (Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP earnings per share (Non-GAAP EPS). Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS are non-GAAP financial measures.

Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Genie’s measure of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA starts with income from operations and adds back depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation and deducts impairment of assets and equity in the net loss of equity method investees, net.

Genie’s measure of Non-GAAP Net Income starts with net income attributable to Genie Energy Ltd. Common Stockholders in accordance with GAAP and adds captive insurance liability and the tax effect of this adjustment. These additions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant periods.

Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, revenue, gross profit, income from operations, cash flow from operating activities, net income, basic and diluted earnings per share or other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Genie’s measurement of Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Management believes that Genie’s measure of Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of Genie’s or GRE’s core operating results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS, among other measures, as relevant indicators of core operational strengths in its financial and operational decision-making.

Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS to evaluate operating performance in relation to Genie’s competitors. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in evaluating performance and allows for greater transparency to the underlying supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, Genie Energy has historically reported Adjusted EBITDA and believes it is commonly used by readers of financial information in assessing performance. Therefore, the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in financial reporting at this time.

Management refers to Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS as well as the GAAP measures revenue, gross profit, and income from operations, as well as net income, on a consolidated level to facilitate internal and external comparisons to Genie’s historical operating results, in making operating decisions, for budget and planning purposes, and to form the basis upon which management is compensated.

Although depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, they primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Genie’s operating results exclusive of depreciation and amortization are therefore useful indicators of its current performance.

Stock-based compensation recognized by Genie Energy and other companies may not be comparable because of the various valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of types of awards that are permitted under GAAP. Stock-based compensation is excluded from Genie’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because management believes this allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons of the operating results of Genie’s core business with the results of other companies. However, stock-based compensation will continue to be a significant expense for Genie Energy for the foreseeable future and an important part of employees’ compensation that impacts their performance. 

Impairment of assets is a component of income (loss) from operations that is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The impairment of assets is primarily dictated by events and circumstances outside the control of management that trigger an impairment analysis. While there may be similar charges in other periods, the nature and magnitude of these charges can fluctuate markedly and do not reflect the performance of Genie’s continuing operations. 

Captive insurance liability is a non-cash charge incurred by Genie’s insurance operations. While there may be related charges in other periods, the magnitude of these changes can fluctuate markedly and do not reflect the performance of Genie’s continuing operations. Captive insurance losses are excluded from Genie’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS because management believes this allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons of the operating results of Genie’s core business with the results of other companies. 

Following are the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS on a consolidated basis to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to income from operations for Genie Energy on a consolidated basis as well as for GRE.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This communication includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that we regularly review to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, prepare financial projections, allocate resources, and make strategic decisions. We believe these non-GAAP measures help to illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to our results of operations and comparability between current and prior periods. We also use these non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor operational goals. However, these non-GAAP measures are not superior to or a substitute for prominent measurements calculated in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the non-GAAP measures are meant to be a complement to understanding measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin

The Company’s adjusted gross profit metric represents revenues less cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization). Adjusted gross profit margin is adjusted gross profit divided by revenues. We review these non-GAAP measures to evaluate our underlying profit trends. The reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to its most comparable GAAP measure is provided below:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are performance measures. EBITDA is earnings before interest, income tax, and depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA begins with EBITDA but further excludes certain non-cash costs, such as stock-based compensation and the write-off of the carrying value of investments or other assets, as well as debt extinguishment and modification expenses and other expenses and income items considered non-recurring, such as acquisition integration expenses, certain professional fees, and litigation settlements. We review the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA measure to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, prepare financial projections, allocate resources, and make strategic decisions.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS)

Adjusted EPS is a performance measure. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by weighted average number shares outstanding for the respective periods.

Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders begins with net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders adjusted to exclude various items listed below. We believe that adjusted EPS is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing profitability and in analysis of ongoing profitability trends.

Priority does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of the information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in future periods. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis as that would require estimates for various cash and non-cash reconciling items that would be difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy. For example, stock-based compensation expense would be difficult to estimate because it depends on the Company’s future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of the Company’s common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. As a result, the Company does not believe that a GAAP reconciliation would provide meaningful supplemental information about the Company’s outlook.

Tradeweb Reports April 2025 Total Trading Volume of $57.8 Trillion and Average Daily Volumeof $2.7 Trillion

Tradeweb Reports April 2025 Total Trading Volume of $57.8 Trillion and Average Daily Volumeof $2.7 Trillion

April 2025 ADV up 38.6% YoY

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Tradeweb Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: TW), a leading, global operator of electronic marketplaces for rates, credit, equities and money markets, today reported total trading volume for the month of April 2025 of $57.8 trillion (tn)1. Average daily volume (ADV) for the month was $2.7tn, an increase of 38.6 percent (%) year-over-year (YoY). Excluding the impact of the ICD acquisition, which closed on August 1, 2024, total ADV for the month of April was up 25.9% YoY.

In April 2025, Tradeweb records included:

  • ADV in U.S. government bonds
  • ADV in fully electronic U.S. high yield credit
  • ADV in municipal bonds
  • ADV in U.S. ETFs
  • ADV in European ETFs
  • ADV in global repurchase agreements

April 2025 Highlights

RATES

  • U.S. government bond ADV was up 41.5% YoY to $290.4 billion (bn). European government bond ADV was up 29.1% YoY to $58.9bn.

    • Record U.S. government bond ADV was led by record activity across the institutional and wholesale client channels. On April 9, Tradeweb facilitated record single-day volume of $472.5bn in U.S. government bonds following the U.S. federal administration’s tariff announcements. Robust European government bond ADV was driven by strong volumes across our institutional client channel. Strong activity in the U.S. and Europe was supported by an increased number of clients trading across a diverse set of trading protocols.
  • Mortgage ADV was up 12.6% YoY to $232.2bn.

    • To-Be-Announced (TBA) activity was primarily driven by heightened volatility and increased trading activity from the originator community. Tradeweb’s specified pool platform reported strong volumes driven by a growing number of clients executing on the platform.
  • Swaps/swaptions ≥ 1-year ADV was up 10.1% YoY to $523.8bn and total rates derivatives ADV was up 22.1% YoY to $971.9bn.

    • Swaps/swaptions ≥ 1-year saw strong risk trading activity YoY driven by significant volatility in global rates markets, due to geopolitical tensions, regulatory uncertainties and shifts in investor sentiment. This was partially offset by an 18% YoY decline in compression activity, which carries a relatively lower fee per million. April compression activity as a percentage of swaps/swaptions ≥ 1-year is trending lower than 1Q25.

CREDIT

  • Fully electronic U.S. credit ADV was up 9.2% YoY to $8.8bn and European credit ADV was up 18.4% YoY to $2.7bn.

    • U.S. credit volumes were driven by increased client adoption of Tradeweb protocols, most notably in Portfolio Trading and request-for-quote (RFQ). Tradeweb captured 16.7% and 8.4% share of fully electronic U.S high grade and U.S. high yield TRACE, respectively, as measured by Tradeweb. We also reported 25.6% total share of U.S. high grade TRACE and 10.8% total share of U.S. high yield TRACE. The first half of April was impacted by heightened volatility, which led to increased one-way flow in the wholesale channel and idiosyncratic client activity. However, activity normalized in U.S. high grade credit as the month progressed, with U.S. high grade credit market share reaching 18.8% in the second half of April. European credit volumes were driven by growth in Portfolio Trading and Tradeweb AllTrade®.
  • Municipal bonds ADV was up 58.5% YoY to $550 million (mm).

    • Municipal bonds saw strong growth across the retail and institutional platforms, reflecting growth relatively in-line with the overall market.
  • Credit derivatives ADV was up 93.5% YoY to $29.6bn.

    • Increased hedge fund and systematic account activity YoY, along with heightened credit volatility, led to increased swap execution facility (SEF) and multilateral trading facility (MTF) credit default swaps activity.

EQUITIES

  • U.S. ETF ADV was up 62.7% YoY to $12.7bn and European ETF ADV was up 86.3% YoY to $5.3bn.

    • Record U.S. and European ETF volumes were driven by increased activity in our Automated Intelligent Execution (AiEX) tool and elevated market volatility. On the Tradeweb institutional platform, U.S. ETF and European ETF volumes were up 122.5% and 86.6% YoY, respectively.

MONEY MARKETS

  • Repo ADV was up 28.2% YoY to $766.7bn.

    • Record global repo trading activity was supported by increased client participation across the platform. In the U.S., strong growth was driven by the lasting effects of the Fed’s balance sheet unwind, combined with balances still remaining relatively low at the reverse repo facility. In Europe, volumes and market activity continued to grow and were primarily driven by volatility caused by the current geopolitical landscape.
  • Other Money Markets ADV was up YoY to $268.7bn.

    • Other money markets volume growth was driven by the inclusion of ICD volumes in April 2025.

Beginning with the publication of the March 2025 Monthly Activity Report press release, we included our overall share of U.S. credit volumes for high grade and high yield TRACE, in addition to breaking out our share of fully electronic portions of both. This mirrors what we have historically included in the full Monthly Activity Report and, we believe, provides a more transparent basis for understanding market share.

Please refer to the report posted to https://www.tradeweb.com/newsroom/monthly-activity-reports/ for complete information and data related to our historical monthly, quarterly and yearly ADV and total trading volume across asset classes.

About Tradeweb Markets

Tradeweb Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: TW) is a leading, global operator of electronic marketplaces for rates, credit, equities and money markets. Founded in 1996, Tradeweb provides access to markets, data and analytics, electronic trading, straight-through-processing and reporting for more than 50 products to clients in the institutional, wholesale, retail and corporates markets.

For more information, please go to www.tradeweb.com.

Basis of Presentation

All reported amounts are presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. In determining the reported U.S. dollar amounts for non-U.S. dollar denominated securities, the non-U.S. dollar amount for a particular month is translated into U.S. dollars generally based on the monthly average foreign exchange rate for the prior month. Volumes presented in this release exclude volumes generated by (i) unbilled trial agreements, (ii) products billed on an agreement basis where we do not calculate notional value, and (iii) products that are not rates, credit, equities or money markets products. Please see the footnotes on page 3 of the full report for information regarding how we calculate market share amounts presented in this release.

Amounts for preliminary average variable fees per million dollars of volume traded and preliminary fixed fees for rates, credit, equities and money markets included in this release and in the related report are subject to the completion of management’s final review and our other financial closing procedures and therefore are subject to change.

Beginning with the publication of the December 2024 Monthly Activity Report, Tradeweb adjusted its methodology for reflecting acquisitions in its reported average daily volume figures. For average daily volume derived from acquisitions, the denominator is now the number of trading days that have elapsed from the acquisition date to the end date of the reporting period, and not the total number of trading days in the reporting period, which was the previous methodology. Beginning in December 2024, this methodology was applied retroactively to restate the impact of both 2024 acquisitions; the average daily volume attributable to acquisitions occurring prior to 2024 was not restated.

Market and Industry Data

This release and the complete report include estimates regarding market and industry data that we prepared based on our management’s knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate, together with information obtained from various sources, including publicly available information, industry reports and publications, surveys, our clients, trade and business organizations and other contacts in the markets in which we operate. In presenting this information, we have made certain assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of, and our experience to date in, the markets in which we operate. While such information is believed to be reliable for the purposes used herein, no representations are made as to the accuracy or completeness thereof and we take no responsibility for such information.

Statements related to, among other things, our outlook and future performance, the industry and markets in which we operate, our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects and assumptions and future events are forward-looking statements.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the documents of Tradeweb Markets Inc. on file with or furnished to the SEC, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In particular, preliminary average variable fees per million dollars of volume traded and preliminary fixed fees for rates, credit, equities and money markets are subject to the completion of management’s final review and our other financial closing procedures and therefore are subject to change. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this release are not guarantees of future events or performance and future events, our actual results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, and the development of the industry and markets in which we operate, may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this release. In addition, even if future events, our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, and events in the industry and markets in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this release, they may not be predictive of events, results or developments in future periods.

Any forward-looking statement that we make in this release speaks only as of the date of such statement. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this release.

  • Recent harvests are testing between 3.25-4% total terpenes.

Expanded Offerings in Pre-Rolls and Infused PRJs

Ranpak Holdings Corp. Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Ranpak Holdings Corp. Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

  • Net revenue for the first quarter increased 6.9% year over year to $91.2 million and increased 8.8% year over year on a constant currency basis
  • Net loss for the first quarter of $10.9 million compared to net loss of $8.1 million for the prior year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) for the first quarter of $17.3 million down 9.9%, or $1.9 million, year over year; down 7.8% on a constant currency basis
  • Packaging System placement up 2.1% year over year to approximately 143.8 thousand machines at March 31, 2025

CONCORD TOWNSHIP, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Ranpak Holdings Corp (NYSE: PACK) (“Ranpak” or “the Company”), a leading provider of environmentally sustainable, systems-based, product protection and end-of-line automation solutions for e-commerce and industrial supply chains, today reported its first quarter 2025 financial results.

Omar Asali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We were excited to share in January that we signed a warrant transaction with Amazon. We believe this transaction provides great alignment for meaningful incremental growth and cash flow for Ranpak over the upcoming years and is a testament to the strong innovation and execution we have delivered. This quarter you can see our revenue growth impacted by this relationship, partially offset by the resulting non-cash reduction to revenue associated with Amazon warrants which flows through our financial statements.

Moreover, I am pleased to report our 7th quarter in a row of strong volume growth and increased net revenue. Global volumes grew 12.0% in the quarter and net revenue increased 8.8% on a consolidated basis at constant currency driven by continued strength in North American e-commerce activity, particularly our large enterprise customers that are in the midst of a plastic to paper transition. Our net revenue growth figures reflect the non-cash impact of Amazon warrants which contributed a 0.9% headwind to our reported revenue. In general, our Enterprise account activity in North America continues to be quite strong and the key projects we were counting on going into 2025 related to plastic to paper transition and Automation are continuing on their expected path. “

North American sales continued to demonstrate excellent growth, however overall performance was impacted by a challenging March in Europe and APAC which took volumes in that region down for the quarter after being positive for the first two months of the year. Fortunately April has seen stabilization there versus the prior year with sales and volumes up slightly.

Automation sales were slightly up in the quarter as some projects got pushed from Q1 to Q2, but the momentum in this area is extremely strong driven by our discussions with Enterprise customers, leading us to be confident in our growth outlook for this area of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA declined 7.8% on a constant currency basis year over year driven by lower volumes in Europe and APAC to start the year and higher input costs flowing through to our bottom line. The reported figures reflect 420 bps of headwind related to the non-cash impact from the Amazon warrants of $0.8 million.

Excluding the non-cash impact of the Amazon warrants, Adjusted EBITDA would have been down 3.6% on a constant currency basis.

As a Company, we are taking actions in the second quarter to improve our margin profile and to adjust our cost structure given the current environment. We have moved quickly to address areas of inefficiency and to reduce costs to better align our cost structure with the current environment.”

Tariff Impact

We have a diverse global business with more than 50% of our net revenue generated in regions where our cost of goods sold and capital expenditures are not directly impacted by tariffs and business is conducted largely in Euros which has appreciated meaningfully against the dollar.

Our paper sourcing and production in North America and Europe are regionalized, with our operations securing paper locally and converting it for sale in their local regions, thus limiting impacts of tariffs.

In the U.S., the impact of tariffs is largely related to our capital expenditures of our PPS converters, some of which are sourced from China or contain parts and components from China and other Asian countries. We are taking steps to minimize the potential impact of these tariffs by evaluating alternative parts and global suppliers as well as stepping up our efforts to refabricate and refurbish existing machines in our fleet to reduce cost.

Our box customization equipment is currently made in Europe and shipped to the U.S. and thus will be subject to the European tariff rate. We are focused on cost out and efficiencies to minimize the impact to our customers, and believe that the value proposition of our equipment to our customers remains extremely compelling even with the current tariff. We believe this could also provide an opportunity for us to take share versus more expensive packaging automation solutions manufactured in Europe.

Given the operating environment uncertainty, we are tightly managing our business in the near-term while maintaining focus on the long-term health and potential of our Company. Our focus is on driving volumes and winning share, reducing our structural costs, and maximizing cash.

We believe Ranpak is well positioned to weather the current environment due to the diversity of our operations and global footprint as well as the value-added solutions we provide to businesses across the world. In an environment where there is increasing cost pressure, our solutions provide businesses with reliable solutions that make their businesses better and provide strong returns on investment.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Net revenue increased 6.9% and increased 8.8% on a constant currency basis
  • Net loss of $10.9 million compared to net loss of $8.1 million for the prior year period
  • AEBITDA1 of $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is down 9.9% and down 7.8% on a constant currency basis
  • Packaging systems placement increased 2.1% year over year, to approximately 143.8 thousand machines as of March 31, 2025

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $91.2 million compared to $85.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $5.9 million year over year or 6.9% (8.8% on a constant currency basis) and includes a reduction of $0.8 million in void-fill for the provision for common stock warrants. Net revenue was positively impacted by increases in void-fill and wrapping, partially offset by a decrease in cushioning. Cushioning decreased $7.2 million, or 19.3%, to $30.1 million from $37.3 million; void-fill increased $11.0 million, or 33.2%, to $44.1 million from $33.1 million; wrapping increased $2.1 million or 24.4% to $10.7 million from $8.6 million; and other net revenue remained flat at $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Other net revenue includes automated box sizing equipment and non-paper revenue from packaging systems installed in the field, such as systems accessories.

The increase in net revenue for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 is quantified by an increase in the volume of sales of our paper consumable products of approximately 12.0%, partially offset by a 2.4% decrease in the price or mix of our paper consumable products, a 0.9% decrease from the provision for common stock warrants, and a 1.8% decrease from foreign currency fluctuations.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Ranpak completed the first quarter of 2025 with a strong liquidity position, including a cash balance of $65.5 million and no borrowings on its $50.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, which matures in December 2029. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $409.0 million outstanding under its USD-denominated first lien term facility, which matures in December 2031.

Non-GAAP Measures

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”)

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We also present Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating EBITDA and AEBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our primary business operations. We believe that EBITDA and AEBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net loss, adjusted to exclude: benefit from (provision for) income taxes; interest expense; and depreciation and amortization.

AEBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net loss, adjusted to exclude: benefit from (provision for) income taxes; interest expense; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gain) loss; amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs; and, in certain periods, other income and expense items.

We reconcile this data to our U.S. GAAP data for the same periods presented.

Constant Currency

We operate globally, and a substantial portion of our net revenue and operations is denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. We calculate the year over-year impact of foreign currency movements using prior period foreign currency rates applied to current year results. These “constant currency” change amounts are non-GAAP measures and are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, constant currency change measures are not based on any established set of accounting rules or principles.

In calculating the Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change, the current year is translated at the average exchange rate for the comparable prior year period, when comparing the current year to the prior year. We believe that our Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change presentation provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA, AEBITDA, and constant currency change, have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. In particular, non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for, or superior to, net loss prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Some of these limitations are:

  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and AEBITDA do not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
  • EBITDA and AEBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • EBITDA and AEBITDA do not reflect the impact of the recording or release of valuation allowances or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
  • AEBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation, and in certain periods, other income and expense items, such as restructuring and integration costs;
  • constant currency change measures exclude the foreign currency exchange rate impact on our foreign operations; and
  • other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, AEBITDA, and constant currency change differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
