Blended, patient-level datasets leveraging proprietary tokenization technology simplify data enrichment while adhering to privacy standards


ATLANTA
, Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, a leading provider of healthcare analytics and insights, today announced the launch of new research-ready, real-world datasets designed to accelerate research timelines, reduce costs and enable more equitable analyses. Using referential-based tokenization, the patient-level datasets are blended, expert determined and certified ensuring they are standardized and research ready. This process gives research teams a more simplified way to enrich their datasets or define a cohort of interest to support specific study objectives, including benchmarking with comparator cohorts. These datasets integrate into clinical research workflows, generating impactful real-world evidence to accelerate innovation and speed-to-market.

“By offering comprehensive, research-ready datasets that are standardized, expert determined and ready for immediate use, we’re enabling researchers to eliminate traditional data management challenges and accelerate their timeline to deliver actionable insights,” said Adam Mariano, president and general manager of healthcare, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. “We’re empowering research teams with a more efficient way to create more holistic and unbiased datasets, so they can uncover health disparities, develop personalized treatments, and ultimately improve patient outcomes across diverse populations.”

The new, expert determined data blends include two or more of the following datasets:

  • Care Delivery Insights: 

    • Healthcare utilization insights from de-identified open and closed medical, pharmacy and lab claims including diagnoses, comorbidities, service date, place of service, service codes and modifiers
    • Pharmacy/medication insights, including drug name, code, quantity and dosage
    • Financial insights, including details on the total cost of care
  • Social determinants of health (SDOH):

    • Factors such as transportation risks, financial challenges and proximity to care
    • Insights on disparities in healthcare access based on urban/rural settings, food deserts, and race/ethnicity
  • Mortality Insights: 

    • Derived from non-traditional sources and updated weekly

The data blends also provide a longitudinal view across all settings of care and all populations, reducing potential biases from single-source data. Advanced subgroup analyses enable researchers to identify distinct patient populations with unique treatment responses, fostering personalized care and more effective therapeutics and care delivery models. Furthermore, the data blends support proactive monitoring to identify high-risk populations, reduce adverse events, and facilitate patient assistance programs by addressing financial and logistical challenges.

Triller Steals Social Media Spotlight with $50 Million Fundraise

Triller Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ILLR) secures its place as a fierce competitor to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels with bold innovations, star power, and continued momentum

Los Angeles, CA, Jan. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Triller Group Inc. (“Triller” or “the Company”) is making waves in the technology and investor sectors, announcing a $50 million equity funding round secured through a private placement with institutional investors. This investment fuels Triller’s rapid ascent as the next powerhouse in short-form video platforms, further challenging TikTok’s dominance to become the superior platform for creators, users, and collaborators. 

Backed by global icons like Conor McGregor, The Weeknd, Marshmello, Lil Wayne, and many more, Triller surged into the top five in the “Photo and Video” category of app stores, solidifying its status as a rising star in digital entertainment.

Supercharging the Creator Revolution

In addition to enhancing the platform for users, the fundraise enables Triller to accelerate its mission of empowering creators. Triller will unveil cutting-edge AI-driven tools, enhanced live-streaming capabilities, and a revamped video editing suite, providing creators with unmatched opportunities to engage audiences and monetize their content.

“At Triller, we’re not just building a platform—we’re leading a movement,” said Wing Fai Ng, CEO of Triller Group Inc. “Whether TikTok is banned or not has no bearing on our trajectory. With powerhouses like Conor McGregor and other global icons who champion our vision, we’ve created a platform that is designed to outlast TikTok and any other competitor. We’re not building our business around the failure of others; this seismic shift in social media is only the beginning of what’s to come.”

Triller: The New Home for Viral Content

As TikTok faces ongoing challenges and uncertainty, Triller has emerged as the ultimate refuge and frontrunner for displaced influencers and content creators. Triller’s savemytiktoks.com campaign has ushered in waves of creators seeking a U.S.-owned platform free from political and regulatory roadblocks.

Under the new leadership of former TikTok Executive Sean Kim, Triller is redefining the user experience and what it means to create, distribute and monetize content.

BKFC & TrillerTV: Entertainment Frontiers Redefined

Triller isn’t stopping at short-form videos; the Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) brand reaches over 250 million fans across 60 countries, while TrillerTV is celebrating a decade of streaming success. Upcoming events like Wrestle Kingdom 19 from Tokyo Dome draw millions of viewers and further positions Triller as a multimedia powerhouse.

Triller’s Future: Poised for Dominance in 2025

With the fund raise and these developments underway, Triller is poised to become the premier social media hub in 2025, attracting top talent and ensuring long-term growth and success through its transparent and innovative environment.

Following President Donald Trump’s reelection, Triller Group made a sizeable contribution to the Trump Inaugural Fund, underscoring its dedication to supporting initiatives that resonate with its business values and long-term vision.      

Navigating the Ship: Investment and Changes to Triller’s Leadership

Triller Group has also appointed Dr. Roger Kennedy as an non-executive director following a designation by KCP Holdings Limited, the lead investor in this funding round. He will join the board’s audit, remuneration, and nomination committees.

The private placement consisted of common stock and warrants, with the Company’s shares priced at $2.20 each. This funding round is the first new capital infusion following the AGBA-Triller merger, with an additional fundraise expected later this year.

This fundraise is a powerful catalyst for Triller Group’s commitment to innovation and growth. With strong backing from our investors and the star power of icons like Conor McGregor, Triller is gearing up to disrupt the digital content landscape like never before. Together with its team, partners, and creators, Triller is creating a platform where ownership, growth, and meaningful monetization are finally within reach.

For more details, please refer to the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2025.

OS Therapies Agrees to Acquire All Listeria Monotygenes-based Immuno-Oncology Programs and IP Assets from Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Adding Phase 2 Lung Cancer and Phase 1 Prostrate Cancer Programs to Pipeline

OS Therapies Agrees to Acquire All Listeria Monotygenes-based Immuno-Oncology Programs and IP Assets from Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Adding Phase 2 Lung Cancer and Phase 1 Prostrate Cancer Programs to Pipeline

  • Consolidates ownership of listeria monocytogenes-based immunotherapy IP
  • Eliminates milestone payments and reduces future royalty obligations relating to OST-HER2 for osteosarcoma and other HER2-related indications
  • Capital allocation focus remains on regulatory approval, priority review voucher (PRV) issuance and commercialization of OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma
  • Previously disclosed $7.1M funding for OS therapies priced at $4.00/share provides cash runway into 2026 & precludes raises below $12.00 for 6 months
  • Karim Galzahr appointed to OS Therapies Board of Directors

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
OS Therapies, Inc. (NYSE-A: OSTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing immunotherapies and targeted drug conjugates for cancer treatment, today announced it has entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the listeria monocytogenes-based immuno-oncology programs and related intellectual property (IP) assets from Ayala Pharmaceuticals (OTC: ADXS). The assets being acquired include a Phase 2 lung cancer and Phase1 prostate cancer program, in addition to the gaining direct ownership of the underlying IP related to OS Therapies’ lead asset OST-HER2 for osteosarcoma and other HER2-related indications.

“The assets being acquired from Ayala complete OS Therapeutics’ ownership of the key intellectual property underlying our listeria monocytogenes immunotherapy platform, as well as bolster our development pipeline with the addition of clinical-stage lung cancer and prostate cancer immunotherapy assets,” said Paul Romness, MHP, Chairman & CEO of OS Therapies. “Importantly, this agreement eliminates certain near-term milestone payment obligations related to OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma, projected sales milestone payments, and significantly reduces our effective royalty rate. As a result, we have enhanced both the clinical and financial prospects for the Company with minimal impact to our cash position. The elimination of these milestones payment obligations and reduction in royalties obligations significantly improves the net present value of the OST-HER2 program while also improving our negotiating position with potential partners. Taken together, this agreement bolsters our financial and partnership prospects.”

OS Therapies anticipates requesting Biologics Licensing Authorization (BLA) for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma in the second quarter of 2025, and hopes to be granted a BLA and related Priority Review Voucher (PRV) from FDA by the end of 2025. Additionally, the Company intends to sell the PRV immediately upon issuance and does not intend to initiate any new clinical development programs until it has completed interactions with FDA around OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma.

Under the terms of the agreement, OS Therapies has agreed to pay $0.5 million in cash and issue $7.5 million worth of OS Therapies’ common shares to Ayala. The transaction is expected to close 60 days from execution of the agreement, subject to customary closing conditions.

OS Therapies previously disclosed that it completed a $7.1 million financing, priced at $4.00 per share primarily with existing shareholders, that provides the Company with sufficient cash runway into 2026 inclusive of payments to Ayala. Under the terms of the financing agreement, OS Therapies is prohibited from issuing shares to raise capital for at least 6 months and suspended the issuance of shares to raise capital under its equity line of credit so long as the price of the common stock is below $12.00. The Company’s burn rate is now approximately $0.4M per month.

As part of the financing agreement, OS Therapies agreed to appoint Karim Galzahr to the Company’s Board of Directors. Galzahr is managing partner at OKG Capital, a medtech and life science investor. Galzahr brings over 30 years of experience in all aspects of finance including M&A, asset management, corporate development and strategic advisory work across the technology sector and medical technology sectors.

“I am honored to join the OS Therapies Board of Directors at such a pivotal moment in the Company’s journey,” said Galzahr, newly appointed Board Member of OS Therapies. “With compelling Phase 2b osteosarcoma data, the anticipated FDA approval of OST-HER2, and the potential to earn a saleable Priority Review Voucher, the Company is positioned to unlock the full potential of its market leading listeria-based immunotherapy platform. This acquisition not only strengthens its intellectual property portfolio but also clears financial hurdles, paving the way for groundbreaking work in osteosarcoma and expanding opportunities in lung and prostate cancer. I look forward to contributing to OS Therapies’ mission of transforming cancer care and improving patient outcomes worldwide.”

Lung Cancer

  1. ASCO 2022 Poster: A phase 2 study of an off-the-shelf, multi-neoantigen vector (ADXS-503 / OST-503) in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer either progressing on prior pembrolizumab or in the first line setting.

    Conclusions: The addition of ADXS-503 (OST-503) to pembro (Keytruda®) after disease progression on pembro appears to be well tolerated and induced antigen-specific T-cell responses and durable disease control in 46% of patients in Part B and 67% of patients in Part C. Additional patients are currently being enrolled into both parts of the study to further explore the potential of A503 to restore or enhance sensitivity to checkpoint inhibitors. Clinical trial information: NCT03847519.

TNF Pharmaceuticals Launches Study Series Aimed at Preserving Lean Muscle Mass During GLP-1 Weight Loss Treatment

TNF Pharmaceuticals Launches Study Series Aimed at Preserving Lean Muscle Mass During GLP-1 Weight Loss Treatment

Series of studies to observe signals of inflammation and TNF-alpha levels in patients taking GLP-1s including Wegovy® or Ozempic®

Lean body mass accounts for up to 40% of weight loss from GLP-1 treatments

Potential entry into high growth GLP-1 market of nearly $50 billion in 2024, projected value of $100 billion by 2029

BALTIMORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: TNFA) (“TNF” or the “Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing novel therapies for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, today announced that it has initiated the first in a series of studies to evaluate the impact of its novel oral TNF-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitor drug, isomyosamine, in preserving lean muscle mass during and after GLP-1 treatment for weight loss and chronic weight management.

“The body of evidence for the GLP-1 drug class shows that up to 40% of total weight loss in GLP-1 patients is lean body mass including skeletal muscle mass,1” said Mitchell Glass, M.D., President and Chief Medical Officer of TNF. “The purpose of our clinical study series is to assess isomyosamine’s potential to preserve lean muscle mass during and following GLP-1 weight loss in chronic overweight and obese patients of all age groups.”

The first study examines TNF-α levels in patients receiving the GLP-1 agonist Wegovy® or Ozempic® who show signs of increased inflammation associated with sarcopenia, which is the progressive loss of muscle mass. Isomyosamine targets excess pro-inflammatory TNF-alpha, a primary cause of sarcopenia.

“Findings from the initial observational study will inform our forward move into multiple planned clinical studies designed to evaluate isomyosamine’s effects in our target population of GLP-1 patients,” Dr. Glass continued. “Our collaboration partner, Renova Health, is using its proprietary AI and machine learning technology to analyze and identify optimal patient pools and study sites, enabling an efficient progression of our study series over the coming months.”

“We are proud to partner with TNF to tackle the critical challenges faced by patients using GLP-1 medications,” said David Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer of Renova Health. “This collaboration is expected to allow us to leverage our advanced AI and machine learning capabilities for precise cohort selection and patient engagement, enabling us to uncover deeper, more meaningful patient insights that will enhance the study’s impact.”

Valued at $49.3 billion in 2024,2 the GLP-1 receptor agonist market is projected to reach $105 billion in 2029, growing at a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.2% from 2023 to 2029.3 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity costs the U.S. healthcare system nearly $173 billion annually.4

About Isomyosamine

Isomyosamine is a novel plant alkaloid small molecule shown to regulate the immuno-metabolic system through the modulation of numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha (TNF-α), an immune cell signaling protein and inflammatory cytokine responsible for inducing and maintaining the inflammatory process. TNF-α is located upstream of a cascade of molecular signals that induces inflammation and helps activate the process of aging. Many in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that TNF-α plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of various age-related diseases.

About TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: TNFA), a clinical stage pharmaceutical company committed to extending healthy lifespan, is focused on developing two novel therapeutic platforms that treat the causes of disease rather than only addressing the symptoms. Isomyosamine is a drug platform based on a clinical stage small molecule that regulates the immune system to control TNF-α, which drives chronic inflammation, and other pro-inflammatory cell signaling cytokines. Isomyosamine is being developed to treat diseases and disorders marked by acute or chronic inflammation. The Company’s second drug platform, Supera-CBD, is being developed to treat chronic pain, addiction and epilepsy. Supera-CBD is a novel synthetic derivative of cannabidiol (CBD) and is being developed to address and improve upon the rapidly growing CBD market, which includes both FDA approved drugs and CBD products not currently regulated as drugs.

Refer to “Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures” and the “Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table for further details about financial measures used in this release that were determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP.
  • Loan Growth – The Company’s loan portfolio grew $29.6 million or 6.4% annualized during the fourth quarter 2024. The strength in the Company’s loan pipeline continued during the fourth quarter with $118.6 million in new loan commitments, which represented a $52.5 million or 79.4% increase compared to the same period in 2023.

As of the date of this release, the Bank had no non-performing loans, OREO or loans 30 or more days past due. Based upon our loan trial balance as of the date of this earnings release, the Company expects that there will be no loans 30 or more days past due as of January 31, 2025.
  • Robust Capitalization – Each of the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios remained well in excess of the well-capitalized thresholds as of December 31, 2024.

When factoring in the $0.25 cash dividend per share paid in July 2024, the book value per share return was 7.9%.

Chris Bergstrom, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the fourth quarter, we continued to make excellent progress, increasing our net interest margin by 22 basis points. We increased loan balances $29.6 million in the fourth quarter. Our unfunded loan commitments continued to grow during the fourth quarter, and we expect these will be a significant component of our 2025 growth as the loans fund. Our capital levels are strong and well in excess of regulatory requirements for well-capitalized banks. Our balance sheet and the Company are well-positioned to pursue growth in 2025. As always, I want to thank our hardworking associates for their inspired efforts in advancing the interests of our customers and the Company.”

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Credit Quality

Total assets were $2.23 billion at December 31, 2024, $2.27 billion at September 30, 2024, and $2.24 billion at December 31, 2023. Total assets have decreased $39.4 million or 1.7% since September 30, 2024 and decreased $7.6 million or 0.3% since December 31, 2023.

Total loans, net of unearned income, increased $12.2 million or 0.7% to $1.87 billion at December 31, 2024, compared to $1.86 billion at December 31, 2023 and increased $29.6 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 or 6.4% annualized from $1.84 billion at September 30, 2024. The increase in loans was primarily attributable to growth in the investor real estate loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the commercial owner-occupied real estate and construction & development loan portfolios. Refer to the Loan, Deposit and Borrowing table for further information.

The carrying value of the Company’s fixed income securities portfolio was $222.3 million at December 31, 2024, $237.5 million at September 30, 2024 and $265.5 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in carrying value of the Company’s fixed income securities portfolio since December 31, 2023 was attributable to amortization of the portfolio. As of December 31, 2024, 95.5% of our bond portfolio carried the implied guarantee of the United States government or one of its agencies. At December 31, 2024, 62% of the fixed income portfolio was invested in amortizing bonds, which provides the Company with a source of steady cash flow. At December 31, 2024, the fixed income portfolio had an estimated weighted average life of 4.2 years. The available-for-sale portfolio comprised approximately 61% of the fixed income securities portfolio and had a weighted average life of 3.1 years at December 31, 2024. The held-to-maturity portfolio comprised approximately 39% of the fixed income securities portfolio and had a weighted average life of 6.0 years at December 31, 2024. The Company did not purchase or sell any fixed income securities during the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2024.

The Company’s balance sheet remains highly liquid. The Company’s liquidity position, defined as the sum of cash, unencumbered securities and available secured borrowing capacity, totaled $727.3 million as of December 31, 2024 compared to $639.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and represented 37.5% and 28.5% of total assets, respectively. In addition to available secured borrowing capacity, the Bank had available federal funds lines of $110.0 million at December 31, 2024.

Total deposits were $1.89 billion at December 31, 2024, $1.94 billion at September 30, 2024 and $1.91 billion at December 31, 2023. During the quarter, total deposits decreased $43.7 million or 2.3% when compared to September 30, 2024. Deposits decreased $14.2 million or 0.7% when compared to December 31, 2023. The Bank reduced costlier deposits (certificates of deposit, Qwickrate CDs, IntraFi CDs, and brokered CDs) by $125.5 million since December 31, 2023. As further detailed in the tables included in this release, core funding sources have increased $39.2 million and wholesale funding sources have decreased $61.3 million since December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $659.2 million of deposits that were not insured or not collateralized compared to $634.1 million at December 31, 2023.

On September 3, 2024, the Company paid off its $77.0 million Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) advance and concurrently secured three Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances totaling $56.0 million. The FHLB advances have a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.01% compared to 4.76% for the retired BTFP advance. Total borrowings as of December 31, 2024 consisted of subordinated debt totaling $24.8 million and the FHLB advances.

Shareholders’ equity increased $16.7 million or 7.3% to $246.6 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $229.9 million at December 31, 2023. Book value per share was $17.28 as of December 31, 2024 compared to $16.25 as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 6.3%. The year-over-year change in book value per share was primarily due to the Company’s earnings over the previous twelve months and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss. This increase was partially offset by increased cash dividends paid and increased share count from shareholder option exercises and restricted share award issuances. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was attributable to decreases in unrealized losses on our available-for-sale investment portfolio due to market value increases.

The Bank’s capital ratios remained well above regulatory thresholds for well-capitalized banks. As of December 31, 2024, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 16.2%, compared to 15.7% at December 31, 2023. As outlined below, the Bank would continue to remain well above regulatory thresholds for well-capitalized banks at December 31, 2024 in the hypothetical scenario where the entire bond portfolio was sold at fair market value and any losses realized (Non-GAAP). Refer to “Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures” and the “Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table for further details about financial measures used in this release that were determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no non-accrual loans and no OREO. The Company experienced net recoveries of $2 thousand during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The Company had one loan that was 90 days past due and still accruing interest as of December 31, 2024. The loan paid off, in full, on January 7, 2025. As of the date of this release, the Bank had no non-performing loans, OREO or loans 30 or more days past due. Based upon our loan trial balance as of the date of this earnings release, the Company expects that there will be no loans 30 or more days past due as of January 31, 2025.

At December 31, 2024, the allowance for loan credit losses was $18.7 million or 1.00% of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, compared to $19.5 million or 1.05% of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2023. The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, resulted from changes in the Company’s loss driver analysis and assumptions, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, improved economic forecasts used in the quantitative portion of the model and considerations of qualitative factors combined with the continued strong credit performance of our loan portfolio segments.

At December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was $1.1 million compared to $0.6 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was primarily the result of increases in unfunded loan commitments.

The Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, 93.4% of our held-to-maturity portfolio carried the implied guarantee of the United States Government or one of its agencies.

The Company’s owner occupied and non-owner occupied CRE portfolios continue to be of sound credit quality. The following table provides a detailed breakout of the two aforementioned segments as of December 31, 2024, demonstrating their strong debt-service-coverage and loan-to-value ratios.

Income Statement Review

Quarterly Results

The Company reported net income of $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $274 thousand or 6.1% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $2.0 million or 17.0% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, driven primarily by the increase in yield on interest-earning assets, the increase in non-interest bearing deposit balances, and the decrease in interest-bearing deposit balances. The annualized net interest margin and tax-equivalent net interest margin (Non-GAAP) for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were both 2.52%, as compared to 2.11% and 2.12%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net interest margin was primarily due to the increase in yields on the Company’s interest-earning assets coupled with a decrease in cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

The yield on interest earning assets was 5.01% for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 4.68% for the same period in 2023. The increase in yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to higher yields on the Company’s loan portfolio as a result of repricing of assets subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2023 and certain prepayment penalties. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.62% for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 3.64% for the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

The Company recorded a $298 thousand provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to a release of provision for credit losses of $781 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses during the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily a result of growth in the loan portfolio of $29.6 million during the quarter.

Non-interest income was $281 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $624 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in non-interest income of $343 thousand was primarily attributable to a decrease of $267 thousand due to unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments on investments related to the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan (“NQDC”) and a $70 thousand decrease in gains recorded on the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans due to decreased sale activity.

Non-interest expense increased $391 thousand or 5.2% during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefit expense and other expense, partially offset by lower occupancy expense. The increase was also attributable to franchise tax fees, professional fees, marketing fees and data processing expense. The increase in professional fees was due to increased contract costs and services. The increase in data processing fees was primarily due to contractual increases and volume-based activity. The decrease in occupancy expense was due to renegotiating an office lease. The Company continues to analyze cost savings opportunities on existing leases and material contracts.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, annualized non-interest expense to average assets was 1.41% compared to 1.31% for the three months ended December 31 2023. The increase was primarily due to lower average assets when comparing the two periods.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the annualized efficiency ratio was 55.4% compared to 59.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net interest income.

Year-End Results

The Company reported net income of $17.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $12.0 million when compared to net income of $5.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to the previously disclosed restructuring of the Company’s securities portfolio and surrender of bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) in July 2023, which resulted in a non-recurring, after tax loss of $14.6 million (the “Restructuring”). Core net income (Non-GAAP), which excludes the impact of the Restructuring, was $19.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 increased $0.6 million or 1.1% compared to the same period of 2023, driven primarily by the increase in yield of interest-bearing assets outpacing the increase in cost on interest-earning liabilities. The yield on interest earning assets was 4.92% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 4.41% for the same period in 2023. The increase in yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to higher yields on the Company’s loans and interest-bearing deposits in banks as a result of elevated interest rates and repricing of assets subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2023. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.78% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 3.08% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a 71 basis points increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits as a result of the repricing of the Company’s time deposits coupled with an increase in rates offered on money market, NOW and savings deposit accounts since the fourth quarter of 2023. The annualized net interest margin and tax-equivalent net interest margin (Non-GAAP) for the twelve month ended December 31, 2024 were both 2.28%, as compared to 2.20% and 2.21%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net interest margin was primarily due to the increase in yields on the Company’s interest-earning assets outpacing the increase in cost of interest-bearing deposits.

The Company recorded a $0.4 million release of provision for credit losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $3.3 million release of provision for credit losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The release of provision for credit losses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily a result of changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, improved economic forecasts used in the quantitative portion of the model and considerations of qualitative factors combined with the continued strong credit performance of our loan portfolio segments.

Non-interest income was $2.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to a loss of $14.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Core non-interest income (Non-GAAP), defined as reported non-interest income excluding the impact of the Restructuring, was $2.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Non-interest expense increased $994 thousand or 3.2% during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. As previously disclosed, the increase was primarily due to the non-recurring $322 thousand reversal of a litigation reserve during the third quarter of 2023 and non-recurring expenses totaling $138 thousand incurred during the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter 2024 non-recurring expenses were incurred in connection with a strategic opportunity that was explored and ultimately did not materialize. Excluding the effects of the $322 thousand reversal in 2023 and non-recurring expenses totaling $138 thousand incurred during 2024, adjusted non-interest expense increased $535 thousand or 1.6% during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 when compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was also due to increases in professional fees and data processing expense, partially offset by lower salaries and employee benefit expense. The increase in professional fees was due to increased contract costs and services. The increase in data processing fees was primarily due to contractual increases and volume based activity. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was due to lower incentive accruals and higher direct loan origination costs when compared to the same period of the prior year, partially offset by higher deferred compensation expense as a result of mark-to-market fluctuations on the Company’s NQDC.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, annualized non-interest expense to average assets was 1.41% compared to 1.33% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher reported non-interest expense of $994 thousand and lower average assets when comparing the two periods.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the annualized efficiency ratio was 59.7% compared to 86.7% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the previously disclosed Restructuring in July 2023. The annualized core efficiency ratio (Non-GAAP) was 59.7% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 58.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in core efficiency ratio was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the supplemental Non-GAAP information provides a better comparison of period-to-period operating performance and the impact of non-recurring expenses and unrealized losses in the Company’s bond portfolio on the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors. Non-GAAP measures used in this release consist of the following:

  • Tax-equivalent net interest margin reflects adjustments for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources;

  • Adjusted Bank regulatory capital ratios in the hypothetical scenario where the entire bond portfolio was sold at fair market value and any losses realized;

  • Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings excludes income tax expense and the provision for (recovery of) credit losses; and

  • Core non-interest income, income before taxes, income tax expense, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted), return on average assets (annualized), return on average equity (annualized), non-interest income as a percentage of average assets (annualized) and efficiency ratio excluding the impact of losses recognized in July 2023 on the sale of available-for-sale securities and taxes paid on the early surrender of BOLI policies in the Restructuring.

These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for, or more important than, financial results in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to Non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures table and Average Balance Sheets, Interest and Rates tables for the respective periods for a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “may,” “view,” “opportunity,” “potential,” or similar expressions or expressions of confidence. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and the Bank include, but are not limited to, the following: the concentration of our business in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and the effect of changes in the economic, political and environmental conditions on this market; adequacy of our allowance for loan credit losses; allowance for unfunded commitments credit losses, and allowance for credit losses associated with our held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities portfolios; deterioration of our asset quality; future performance of our loan portfolio with respect to recently originated loans; the level of prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities; liquidity, interest rate and operational risks associated with our business; changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital; our ability to maintain existing deposit relationships or attract new deposit relationships; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; inflation and changes in interest rates that may reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; additional risks related to new lines of business, products, product enhancements or services; increased competition with other financial institutions and fintech companies; adverse changes in the securities markets; changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own; our ability to maintain an effective risk management framework; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory structure and in regulatory fees and capital requirements; compliance with legislative or regulatory requirements; results of examination of us by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may require us to increase our allowance for credit losses or to write-down assets or take similar actions; potential claims, damages, and fines related to litigation or government actions; the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to remediate any future material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting; geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, or actions taken by the U.S. or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, negatively impacting business and economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad; the effects of weather-related or natural disasters, which may negatively affect our operations and/or our loan portfolio and increase our cost of conducting business; public health events (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and governmental and societal responses thereto; technological risks and developments, and cyber threats, attacks, or events; the additional requirements of being a public company; changes in accounting policies and practices; our ability to successfully capitalize on growth opportunities; our ability to retain key employees; deteriorating economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, including higher unemployment and lower real estate values; implications of our status as a smaller reporting company and as an emerging growth company; and other factors discussed in the Company’s reports (such as our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

Worthington Enterprises Supports PHMSA Cylinder Safety Advisory Seeking to Keep Americans Safe from Fraudulent Imports

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Worthington Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: WOR) is encouraging consumers, contractors, retailers and other users of pressure cylinders to follow the January 13, 2025, safety advisory issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regarding unsafe cylinders manufactured primarily by non-U.S. companies. Worthington Enterprises is the only American manufacturer of many sizes of steel cylinders, which are used for various critical infrastructure purposes such as cooking, home heating, refrigeration/cooling, foam insulation, sealants and adhesives.

In its advisory, PHMSA described the safety issue by writing, “Cylinders that are not authorized for the safe filling or transport of gases are being sold online by major retailers. PHMSA is particularly concerned that these cylinders are not manufactured to a DOT specification or UN standard, lack certification markings as required by [PHMSA’s regulations], and are being sold to consumers, and HVAC personnel and service technicians. For cylinders that are used for activities such as outdoor grilling or camping, consumers should ensure their cylinders are in compliance with [PHMSA’s regulations] for their own safety. Likewise, technicians are supposed to use authorized DOT specification or UN standard cylinders to extract or recover refrigerant gas from systems in need of repair or replacement, so that the cylinder can be safely and legally transported.”

Joe Hayek, president and chief executive officer, Worthington Enterprises, said, “We are grateful for PHMSA’s work to keep Americans safe, and we share the agency’s concerns about the proliferation of non-compliant cylinders making their way into and throughout our country. There is mounting evidence that companies in China and other countries are undermining DOT’s pressurized cylinder quality and safety standards that Worthington has adhered to for more than 50 years. The sale of non-compliant cylinders and the shipping of hazardous material in those cylinders without required markings creates safety risks that need to be addressed.”


The Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety and Oversight Improvements Act of 2023 (H.R. 3404 and S. 1632)
 is an important part of the solution. The proposed bill, which was introduced by a bipartisan group of co-sponsors from the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, seeks to require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to establish regulations relating to cylinders manufactured in foreign countries and sold in the United States. Regulations could include facility inspections and other protocols to ensure safety and compliance. While this bill was not enacted before the end of the last Congressional session, Worthington Enterprises is eager to collaborate with the new Congress and the Trump administration to enact these reforms in 2025.

Hayek concluded, “These products, which are growing in variety and volume, are potentially unsafe and put users in danger. The risks presented will only grow in the absence of consistent inspection and accountability. We are looking forward to working with Congress and the professional leadership at PHMSA to champion high-quality and safe products made in America.”

Worthington Enterprises manufacturers cylinders in the United States at facilities in Maize, Kansas; Paducah, Kentucky; Columbus, Jefferson and Westerville, Ohio; West Warwick, Rhode Island; and, Chilton, Wisconsin.

WISeArt’s Exclusive Reveal of Yan Balestra’s Anvil Wonderland to be Held at WISeKEY’s Geneva Headquarters from January 30 to February 2

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WISeArt’s Exclusive Reveal of Yan Balestra’s Anvil Wonderland to be Held at WISeKEY’s Geneva Headquarters from January 30 to February 2

Geneva, Switzerland January 29, 2025: WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a global leader in cybersecurity, AI, Blockchain, and IoT operating as a holding company, today announced that its WISe.Art subsidiary is offering collectors and art enthusiasts an array of diverse projects during ArtGeneve, the iconic annual contemporary art fair to be held from January 30 to February 2, 2025. In this vibrant atmosphere, the various projects will give art aficionados a glimpse into Yan’s unique Neo-Pop vision, blending fine art, digital storytelling, and pop culture nostalgia, a true insight on augmented reality with artists selected by Espace L as well as a world première which will revolutionise the music industry using AI to the advantage of human musicians.

Anvil Wonderland: As the whimsical and the bold ooze with creativity, Anvil Wonderland invites audiences into a dynamic and colourful world where classical animation meets contemporary art. Inspired by the iconic cartoon trope of falling anvils, the piece transforms this playful chaos into a modern-day tribute to resilience.

The 60 x 80 cm acrylic on canvas piece features striking colours of pure blue, red, yellow, black, and white showcasing Yonel, the mischievous central figure of Yan’s artistic universe, captured mid-leap in a vibrant and daring composition. Accompanying the physical piece is an exclusive NFT animation: a 9-second loop that brings Yonel to life, diving into the unknown with his signature energy and spirit. The package will be released for sale to the public simultaneously live at the WISeKEY’s headquarters and online via the WISe.ART platform.

This unique combination of physical and digital artistry provides collectors with a phygital experience that seamlessly bridges the worlds of traditional fine art and cutting-edge innovation.

About Yan Balestra: Yan Balestra is a contemporary artist celebrated for his Neo-Pop aesthetic and ability to combine extreme sports culture, retro-futuristic elements, and bold storytelling. Through Yonel, his artistic alter-ego, Yan invites audiences to reconnect with their inner child and embrace the joy of exploration and imagination. His work serves as a bridge between playful nostalgia and the forward momentum of contemporary art.

About SpinDreams: Hydroelectric transmutations in the Swiss landscape by River Oracle, Lea Sblandano, Nacoca Ko, Paulo Wirz, Ricardo Meli, Paul Fritz, Antoine Félix Bürcher, Hugo Landlade and Jan Steenman. The project was initiated in 2022 to bridge the fluidity of analog and digital reality questioning dreamlike realities and newer technologies, nature’s resources feeding human energies. The art pieces act as semiotic talismans, focal points that draw awareness to the ceaseless metamorphic interplay between the tangible and the virtual.

About Espace_L: Inaugurated in 2011, Espace_L is rapidly becoming the reference in Geneva for contemporary art. The gallery interacts in distinct sectors by presenting internationally recognized artists and by orchestrating art meetings, to raise awareness and question current art movements questioning technology and the philosophy of art.

About “20 Song” by Soren Sorenson aka Dorian Gray: Dorian Gray’s approach is, above all, exploratory, a way to understand how AI can enrich the creative process and open new avenues of expression. “20-version song” is a manifesto for augmented musical creation, where artificial intelligence becomes an ally, not a substitute for humans. The project does not stop there: it invites the public to participate in the experience, navigate this sound labyrinth, discover the 20 interpretations, and choose their favorite by voting directly on the site, a democratic approach that gives a playful and participatory dimension to this unique musical exploration.

About The Good Token Society:
In the dynamic landscape of Web3, the need for support, federation, promotion and representation has never been more pressing. 
The Good Token Society
 is a hub for sustainable, global technology development, a base for initiatives focusing on the confluence of impact, technology, and finance.
A collective of innovators, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders passionate about the intersection of technologies and impact. We must shift from reactive to proactive and being prepared for the future. Despite facing challenges, blockchain players persist in enhancing capabilities. We are transitioning from theoretical experimentation to tangible business solutions.

The Event: Yan Balestra’s opening exhibition will take place at WISeKEY headquarters, 58 Avenue Louis Casaï in Geneva, Switzerland on January 29, from 4 to 9 pm, by appointment offering an intimate opportunity for collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts to explore Yan Balestra’s latest creation. While the event is not officially affiliated with ArtGeneve, it takes advantage of the vibrant energy surrounding the city’s most prestigious art week, providing a compelling space for attendees to discover Yan’s unique artistic narrative.

SpinDream will be on show at the Espace_L booth at ArtGeneve and 20 Song will go live on the air simultaneously.
